NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET.—Oct. 8.

to-day :(the new samples in rather better condition than of
late), with small arrivals coast-wise, which realized full Is.
per quarter more than on this day se'nnight. Barley conti-
nues in request at our quotations. The supply of Oats was
moderate, and the sale brisk at last week's prices. Malt re-
mains firm. Rye is a slow sale, without any improvement in
price. Little or nothing doing in Beans or Pease. Flour a
dull sale at our quotations.

VIOLET ; OR, THE OPERA DANCER.—" It ought
to be the object of a writer, especially of novels," says the
Edinburgh Evening Post, " to present a picture of something
which has not been handled by previous authors. Every
effort, therefore, to diverge from the beaten track, and exhibit
a new aspect of nature and human life, ought to be especially
applauded; and it is for this reason that we entertain a high
opinion of the merits of the present work, which shows that
the purest and most virtuous aspirations can animate the heart
even of an opera dancer. The work possesses an absorbing in-
terest as a narrative, characterised by the strongest marks of
truth and reality, while, as a literary production, it at once
charms and instructs."

The nine musicians of the Lancers who deserted
from Tournay to go and serve in Spain, and who were ar-
rested at St. Amand, have just been transferred from Mech-
lin to be placed in the French territory at the same spot where
their arrests took place, and from which Belgian officers
compelled them return to Belgium. According to all ap-
pearances they will proceed to Spain and join the corps in
which they enlisted while at St. Amand. One of them,
who returned to Belgium before the arrest of the others, is
at Mechlin, and will be tried as a simple deserter.—Brussels

HEATON NORRIS.—John Sharp, a schoolmaster,
claimed in respect of a house in Ince-street, and the objection
to his claim was that he was not rated for the premises on
which he founded his claim. The collector produced his
books, and to Mr. Sharp's confusion it was proved in " black
upon white," that he was assessed for his school, and not for
his house. Mr. Sharp_" I am prepared to prove from
Walker's Dictionary' that a school is a house. A school you
will therein find is a 'house of discipline,' a house of instruc-
tion.' " Mr. Turner---" What I a house of correction ?"
(Laughter.) Mr. Sharp—" A house of instruction, I said,
Sir." The worthy savant was then informed, that however
profound and extensive his knowledge of etymology might
be, his definition in this instance could not be received, and
that his claim must be disallowed. He heard the decision
with tolerable firmness, and retired, vindicating the accuracy
of Walker and himself, as to a school being a legitimate
house.—North Cheshire Reformer.

The following is a recipe for cooking sea bream,
which may be profitably applied to any other fish :—When
properly cleaned, the fish should be wiped dry, but none of
the scales should be taken off. In this state it should be
broiled, turning it often, and if the skin cracks flour it a little
to keep the outer case entire. When on the table the whole
skin and scales turn off without difficulty, and the muscle be-
neath, saturated with its own natural juices, which the outside
covering has retained, will be found of good flavour.
As Miss Elizabeth Watson, aged 19, the daughter
of Mr. Watson, of Horsforth, was returning home from Kirk-
stall on Thursday afternoon, she was met, in passing through
Horsforth Wood by Joseph T. Walker, a weaver, who knocked
her down and endeavoured to commit a capital offence. The
poor girl struggled and screamed in a most piteous manner,
which brought assistance, and the villain was secured. Her
cries were distinctly heard for half a mile. The prisoner was
brought up before the Magistrates at Leeds and remanded
until Miss Watson should be able to attend ; but notice having
been given that she was in a dangerous state from the injuries
she had received, her depositions were taken at her father's
house.— West Riding Herald.
The insect which has made such havoc in the turnip
crop is called the tenthredo.
A t the Middlesex Sessions, on Saturday, a Juror,
for himself and brethren, applied for some remuneration. The
Chairman (Mr. Sergeant Adams) said the Court could not
grant any pecuniary consideration. A Juror—Why, Jurors
are paid in the King's Bench Court. Chairman—But we in
an inferior Court have no power to remunerate. Another
Juror—ln the Sheriff's Court they give us 4d. a trial.—
(Laughter.) Chairman—You must be content with the re-
collection that you have well clone your duty. Mr. W.
Al' William—And that you have the thanks of this bench and
of the county.—(Laughter.) Jurors—We don't give you a
" thankee " for that—( Much laughter, in which the Justices
joined) and the Jury retired, grumbling.
