TIIE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF BUCCLEUCH'S
SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT AT MONTAGE; BousE.----:The Royal
end distinguished guests present at this delightful fete on
Wednesday, the Gth inst., were sumptuously entertained under
a beautiful and elegant temporary room, which was erected on
the lawn, we understand, by Mr. Benjamin Edgington,. of
Duke-street, Southwark, who also supplied the marquees and
tents at the dejeuner given by Lord De Roos yesterday evening.
A few days since Mrs. Martindale, a highly re--
cpeetable widow lady, residing at Ilford, was serving the
fowls in the yard, when a cock flew at her, and struck his
spur into her knee. It began to swell in an alarming manner
in a day or two, and although she had the best medical assist-
ance, the wound has become worse and worse ; and as mor-
tification is expected to ensue, very faint hopes are entertained
of her recovery.
SAFETY-VALVES OF STEAM-ENGINES.---A Inas-

ter brazier, of Neufchatel, introduces into his boilers a small
float, which swims on the surface as long as there is a sufficient
quantity of water, but when this diminishes to a certain point,
the float, in sinking, opens a small valve which suffers the
steam to escape through a tube, and in issuing it makes a
hissing noise, strong enough to warn those who have charge of
the engine.
The French Government has awarded to Mr. Bull-
mandel a gold medal for his' recent improvements in Litho—
graphy, as exemplified in Mr. Harding's " Sketches at Home
and Abroad."

THE LATE DANIEL LAMBERT.—When this
mountain of flesh visited Nottingham, the late Mr. ThomLs
Goodburn, who then resided in Narrow-marsh, was employed'_
to make half-a-dozen pair of stockings for the great man. As
the vital spark of Daniel quitted his mighty frame about the
time the last stocking- was finished, Mr. Goodburn disposed of
them as well as he could, and one (the only one now remain-
ng) of these stockings is now before us. Our readers may
form some idea of the immense size of this Leviathan among
the sons of the earth, when we assure them that the girth of
this stocking is at the top 42 inches, at the calf 36 inches, and
at the ancle 30 inches its length from the heel to the top is
27 inches, and from the toe to the heel Is inches—the hose
were made on a knotted frame.—Nottingham Mercury.
THE ROYAL FAMILY Or SWEDEY.—The
ii es-
sagersays—" Much is said in foreign political circles of the
King of Sweden entertaining the, idea of having his son,
Prince Oscar, crowned during his Majesty's lifetime. This
precaution may have appeared particularly necessary as to
Norway, which has continually been an annoyance to the
Swedish Government, and where Prince Oscar is much more
popular than his father. Since the death of the Emperor
Alexander, the intimacy between Russia and Sweden has
greatly cooled, and the Cabinet of Stockholm has become
daily much more closely allied with that of London ; and it is:
said that the journey of Count \Vetterstedt to London will
end in a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, between
the two nations."

MINOR HINT OF HUMANITY AND UTILITY.-
Do not throw that accident-causing substance orange-peel on
the foot-pavements in London; and when it meets your eye,
take the trouble of removing it with your foot. It would
startle your credibility to be assured of the number of ac-
cidents, often most painful and sometimes fatal, which arise
from this trifling cause. The comfort through life of children
is frequently destroyed by such circumstances of negligence.
Dreadful accidents have occurred (one very lately) to persons
carrying mme sharp instrument (a sithe, &c.) who have been
suddenly thrown down in this manner ; and a dangerous in-
jury of the spne often occurs from falling backwards.
THE ALLEGED MURDER IN POPLAR WORK-
ITOUSE.—Last evening an inquest was held in the Committee-
room, at the Towc-hall, High-street, Poplar, befoe Mr_
Baker, and a Jury composed of the parochial officers and the
most respectable inhabitants of the parish, on view of the re-
mains of Ann Wood, a pauper, aged 76 years, who, it was
alleged, had been strangled while in the agonies of death by
Mary Manchester, the nurse of the sick ward in the parochial
workhouse. An account of this case appeared in our Police
Report.. After bearing several witnesses, the Jury expressed
themselves perfectly satisfied, and returned a verdict of
'd Natural Death."

A gardener at Treveray observing that mole-crickets
burrowed in the ground at a very small depth from the sur-
face, conceived the plan pf destroying them by placing earthen
pots, three-fourths filled with water, two or three inches below
their course. Into these the insects fall in quantities, and are
destroyed at a much less expel:se than by the old method of
pouring oil into the holes they inizde.
The Prince of Orange anti his sons returned to.
Alivart's Hotel at a late hour last niabt from lirindsor Castle,
where they arrived on Thursday evening, for the purpose of
paying 'their farewell visit to the King and Queen. The
Princes left their cards (t. t. take leave) on Thursday
Morning at the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Buc-
clench and other distinguished fashionables. The Princes are
expected to sail to-morrow, morning for Rotterdam. and are ex-
pected to arrive at the Hague at the sarne time that her Ma-
jesty the Queen of Holland will return from a visit to her Royal
brother, the King of Prussia, at Berlin.
Mrs. Bray relates the following of a Devonshire
physic:ln, happily named " Vial," who was a desperate foyer
of whist. Oar evening, in the midst of a deal,jthe Doctor fell
off his chair in it fit. Consternation seized on the company:
Was he alive or (:?ad ? What was to be clone ? All help

INKLINGS OF ADVENTURE.--These various and
pleasing tiles and scenes have a very amusing connecting
link which gives the charm of completeness and totality to the
three volumes. In the nice appreciation of character, and its
an acute sense of the humourous and ridiculous, Mr. Willis is:
surpassed by no living writer. Who can help laughing at, and
loving that original creation of the author; Job Smith? Of
himself, he is sufficient to support the interest of the work, but
assisted as he is by a host of other well-drawn characters, the
perusal of these volumes becomes an intelleettial enjoyment
from the beginning to the end.
An unfortunate man, named Leahy, who was sub-
ject to temporary fits of insanity, produced by the use of ardent
spirits, had been annoying a priest near Glanworth, last Mon.
day, when the priest calle two policemen to have the craze&
creature taken up for his provoking pranks, but no sooner
did the police appear than the unfortunate Leahy ran towards
the river Puncheon to avoid them, and leaped in with the few
rags of clothing he wore, and when about half way across, the
poor wretch sunk, and was drowned before any effectual ass
sist,nce arrived. He lived,for the last few months in Fermoys
where he went by the name of " cracked Leahy." He had
been once a respectable farmer, it appears, but having ad-
dicted himself to drink, the debasing habit by degrees brougltt
him to the loss of his property. his reason, and the deplorable
end above mentioned.—Cork Evening Herald.

THE KING OF PR uss A.-7-A letter of the 29th
ult. from Berlin, given by tK'jovtirpal du Cgmmerce, stated
that the King of Prussia has just made his will. He had alt.
reedy signed several, especially in 1826 and-:1831; but had
modified their content-A.. The King bequcatha-ailarge. part of
his private fortune to the Princess de Liegnitz, who is con.
nested with him by a left-handed marriage. The last testa-
ment is more favourable than the former ones to the Princo•
Royal, who will receive a larger portion of the private fortune
than his brothers, and also the entire shares held by the King
in the Maritime Society. The King, however, is in very
good health.
