TIIE DEVICS-LAWS.—We are glad to see that
the Kelso Chronicle, in common with the majority of our Li-
beral Contemporaries, seldom suffer a number to go forth
without directing public attention to the crying grievance oc-
casioned by these laws.
TILE DEVIL'S-LAWS.—On Thursday evening
Mr. A. W. Paulton delivered his first lecture on the Corn-
laws to one of the largest audiences ever assembled in the
Corn Exchange at Manchester, every ticket of admission to
the lecture-room having been eagerly sought for and obtained
by the public some hours previous to its commencement, and
many applicants were necessarily disappointed. About seven
o'clock the Committee of the Anti-Corn-law Association took
their seats. Mr. Paulton delivered the lecture, the report of
which occupies a prominent place in the Manchester Times.
HUM AN BONES.—The bones of two or three
human skeletons a few days ago were discovered by work-
men who were making a drain two feet deep across a field
from the Balby road to the new poor-house. The spot in
which they were found was probably the burial ground of the
chapel annexed to the hospital of St. James. De la Pryme
speaks of " the ruins of a long and once stately chapel dedi-
cated to St. James, all now in rubbish on the side of the road
from Sepulchre Gate to Balby." It was suppressed in Ist of
Edward VI. ; De le Pryme died in 1704.—Doncaster Gazette.
On Tuesday morning last, a gentleman of this
town was hit by the charge of a gun, which was lying at the bot-
tom of a light cart, and accidently went off in passing through
this town. Fortunately the force of the shot was broken by
passing through the back of the cart, and he sustained no injury.

LARGE TURNIP !—The country papers, accord-
ing to custom, continue to record and authenticate miracles in
the agricultural world. We hare carrots as big as colts, po-
tatoes scarcely less than full-sized ponies, and turnips of all
weights under a ton. The Preston Observer states that there
has been exhibited a tiny turnip measuring only one yard iu
circumference, and 201bs. weight.

An extensive formation of Cornish day has been
lately discovered in the department of the Drome. This
earth, a kind of kaolin, or decomposed felspar, was believed to
exist only in Cornwall; and, from its being one of the prin-
cipal ingredients in the fabrication of English porcelaine, has
long been a desideratum in France. A comp:lly has been
raised for the working of this formation, which promises to be
very productive. —Paris Paper.
DISPATCH BY STEAM.—The account of the
coronation of George 111. was brought to this country (New
York) from Bristol, in SO days. The account of the corona-
tion of Victoria was brought by the steamer Great Western,
in 14 days and some hours. Such is the wonderful power of.
steam in this wonderful age of invention.
EATING TRlPE.—Yesterday week, while a per-
son was eating some tripe in a house in Wellmeaduw-
stre3t, a piece of it stuck in the gullet. Attempts were made
by persons to extract the tripe, but their efforts were vain.
Meanwhile, Mr. Cochrane, who had been sent for ar*.lved,
and succeeded, not in pulling it out, but in thrusting it, down,
and the sufferer, who was on the point of expiring, received
immediate relief.—Paisley Advertise l.

A potatoe of the Highland early kind was, taken up
at Dalston, this week, which weighs two and a balf pounds.
OUT OF THE WAY.—" Send theta all to
exclaimed a sacrilegious ruffian, speaking of some paupers.
" Better send us to he2;ven, your honour, we shall be more
out of your way thine," replied one of them.

one old women to receive the charity, called the Crcin
