On Saturday evening a cottage belonging to a re-
spectable man named Finch,- at Highworth, was discovered by
him and his wife to be on fire ; they immediately rose, and
had only time to escape before the whole was a body of
flame in which the adjoining cottage was included ; both
houses were burnt to the ground. The fire commenced
from the outside of the thatch, and there is no doubt of its
being the work of an incendiary. Upwards of 2001. in notes
belonging to Finch have been consumed. Sixty guineas and
sovereigns were found in the ruins on the Monday follow-
ing.—Willshire Independent.

Last week the following was put up before the door
of a blacksmith at West Monckton :—On mondey Fift de-
cember Som parson or pars Ons Broken in Thorns Gready
bons scold Som mony if aney parson or parsons Will prove
the Defender an breing Them to Convekshons the sam
shall from I Thorns Gready Receve the Reward of Ten
Shillin's."—Taunton Courier.

The chamberlains and four-and-twenty of the bo-
rough of Alnwick, which escaped the purification of the cor-
poration of the Corporation Reform Bill, employed a con-
stable to keep the door of their place of meeting, on Mon-
day, the sth inst., to preserve them from molestation while
they sat in their select conclave. They appreherKled some
annoyance from the freemen, who are at present opposed to
their proceedings.—Shields Observer.
As the Kent steamer was on her passage on Thurs-
day morning from Boulogne to London, Captain Time dis-
covered a boat which appeared to him to be in a perilous
situation. He immediately hove to, and in a short time re-
leased five poor fellows in a state of great exhaustion, who
informed him they left in company with another boat, in
which were the captain, mate, and seven other persons be-
longing to the barque Isabella, Capt. Kurtz, bound from
Philadelphia to Rotterdam, and laden with tobacco, and
which they had abandoned in a sinking state, off the Good-
win Sands, about four hours previously. The Captain lost
no time in endeavouring to discover them, and happily suc-
ceeded, and was the means of saving 14 poor fellows from a
watery grave, which would, in all probability, have been
their fate.

There has been presented to the Museum of the
Tweedside Physical and Antiquarian Society by Mr. Som-
ner, West Morrison, a common rat of extraordinary size—
it weighs 17 ounces ; the length of the body from the tip of
the nose is 10 inches, exclusive of the tail, and the whole
length to the tip of the tail, 17 inches. It was killed by a
Dinmont Terrier of four months old.—Kelso Mail. -

STARVATION.—.-An inquest was held a few days ago
on the body of a poor woman, named Mary Fielding, aged
GO. The Jury returned a verdict that " the deceased died
for want of the proper necessaries of life." It appeared that
a few months ago she applied to the overseers, and was told
that they were willing to take her into the workhouse ;
this, however, she refused to submit to. She was a very
reserved woman, and always kept apart from her neighbours.

We understand that a great number of one pound
notes of different Scotch banks are brought here and ten-
dered in payment each market-day, and that those who
have thus taken them have been put to great inconvenience,
and in many instances have suffered considerable loss, be-
fore they could get quit of them again. Probably the par-
ties who bring them are not aware of the danger they incur
in offering one pound notes in England, and we shall do
them a service by cautioning them. The penalty is 5/. ;
and our border friends will thus see how necessary a little
prudence is on their part. They should endeavour to pro-
vide themselves with gold or Bank of England paper, before
crossing the " ideal line" which divides the two parts of the
same kingdom ; but in which it has seemed fitting to our
legislators that two different kinds of money should circu-
late.—Carlisle Journal.
" LODGE'S PEERAGE OF THE BRITISH Em-
PlKE.—Probably the highest encomium that can be passed
upon a work of this description is, that it has given to the
distinguished class to whom it refers the most complete
satisfaction, to such an extent, indeed, as has served to carry
it to a sixth edition in an almost unparalleled short period
of time from its first appearance. Exclusive of a succinct
and authentic genealogy of the Peerage we have now a
view of the Baronetage of the three kingdoms, prepared
under the authority, and with the assistance, of the distin-
guished families whose honours are thus permanently re-
corded. The armorial bearings are all engraved in the
very best style. Without this work no library can be 'said
to be complete."—Sunday Times.
The following dialogue took place in a corporation
school where the pupils are taught to believe in accordance
with the portion of scripture allotted to read :—Mr. Wrath
Bone—Pray, sir, what is your belief ? Pupil—Please, sir,
I believes in nothin' ! Mr. Wrath Bone—Yea, but you do !
I'll " wollop " you, sir ; you believe in the " holy Catholic
Church !" Pupil—No, sir ; please, sir, the lad as believes
in that's got the measles at home, and I've got his seat.—
