MARRIED AT LAST !—Lately, at the parish
church of Bettws, near Abergele, Denbighshire, Mr. Owen
Williams, of Llansaintfraid, to Miss Sarah Jones, of Bettws.
Each party was above sixty.five years of age. They bad
courted above forty years; he having to go and return a dis-
tance of seven miles to see his sweetheart, and the journey he
never failed to perform once a week. Thus, in the space of
forty years, he walked 29,120 miles on love expeditions.
GLASS CLOTH.—A man of the name of Richard
Baker, residing at Street-side, near Dewsbury, has lately in-
vented a sort of cloth, composed entirely of glass, of a very
delicate texture, having much the appearance of silk, and
feeling to the touch quite as soft. He has, within the last
Week, been at London, for the purpose of presenting a portion
of it to the Queen, for an apron ; and having obtained an
introduction to the Secretary of State's Office, it has been
forwarded to her nijesty, and on Thursday Baker received
a letter from the Palace, acknowledging the receipt of the

resent.

An occurrence of a very calamitous nature took
place on ba.rd the Ilindestau East Indiaman on her home-
ward voyage from Madras, from which port she sailed nn the
3d of September last. On the 24th of that month, Lieut.
John Jerningham, of her Majesty's 45th Regiment, was sitting
on a hencoop, bordering the poop of the vessel, conversing
with two other officers, when, suddenly losing his balance, ho
fell overboard, the sea running at the time so high, and the
ship making such rapid way, that every attempt to save him
proved ineffectual. Lieutenant J. Jerningliam has been four
years on active s2rviee in the East, and now, at the early ago
of 24, has met with a fate that deprives her Majesty's service
of a gallant and promising young officer, and his nearest rela-
tives of a brother whom they will never cease to mourn.
S 3 brisk is the salt trade at Droitwich, that it is in-
tended to build four new and extensive works on a large scale,
in order the more easily to meet the great demand. The pro-
cess or this manufacture is very simple, the brine being merely
evaporated in large shallow pans, be means of fire, that nearest
t 3 the heat being the finest salt, and the larger chrystals at the
extremities being used for salting and in the arts. What is
called broad or bay salt is made from the same brine and in
the same pons.--- Worcester Journal.

The conversation on a stage-coach, a few days ago,
happening to turn on gloves, a respectable, tradesman ex-
claimed, "Ah ! I dare say I've had these doe-skins in use as
long as most gloves wear." " How long might that be ?"
said a fellow traveller. " Why, I had them when I was aba
chelor, and I've been married thirty-nine sears I" Ile had
worn them for six weeks or two months during 39 winters, and
they were still in capital order.
