WAGER EXTRAORDINARY.—Of all the wagers
recorded in the annals of whimsicality, that was unquestion-
ably the most singular which was laid by a certain lady dis-
tinguished for fashion and beauty : the terms of it being that,
she would induce her stubtiffim Lord, though separated from
her, to come back and beg to be re-united. How be came,
and how he went again—how she won her wager, while he
lost his time and patience, form a delicious tale of the "wild
and wonderful." Its incidents, we understand, are to be re-
lated in the " Court Journal" of to-morrow, among other
" especial secrets," piquant anecdotes, and mysterions whispers.

SIR ANDREW AGNEW.—Verily, Saint Agnew
has perpetrated a genuine bit of wisdom at last 1 The wags
may roast his Saintship as theY please; but we will maintain,
in his defence, that he could not have chosen a more appro-
priate day for bringing forward his renewed motion in the
House for the better observance of the Load's-day, than the
first of April. 0 the everlasting Gowke 1
HOLBORN PROPOSED VIADUCT.—A few copies

Bailey according to the design of Francis Wishhaw, Civil En-
gineer, M. I. C. E., may be had at the publisher's, Effingham
Wilson, Royal Exchange. A Second Report may shortly be
expected.
BEER SHOPS.—Last week a constable at Under-
cliff, in the Isle of Wight, who had been called in to quell one
of the nightly uproars at a beer shop in his district, discovered
in the morning that most of his out-door property, consisting
of hay, straw, hurdles, &c., had becn'set fire to and consumed
in the night.
There has been quite a " sensation" created in the
gay circles of Paris, by the singular beauty of the yo,:ingest
daughter of Lord and Lady Canterbury. Though only I,"
years of age, she was the "observed of all observers ;" no less
the glass of fashion than the mould of form, at the several dis-
tinguished balls that have been given there during their stay.
The admiration would certainly have turned an older head.
It was remarked as a curious and flattering distinction, that
the entrees of the last and the present season in Paris which
bad excited most attention, were those of the eldest aid
youngest daughters of Lad' Canterbury.--Paris Advertiser.
