AN UNCONSCIONABLE WITNESS.—" Please
your_ Lordship," said a native of the Emerald Isle, on being
ushrred into the box as a witness in a cause tried the other day
at the assizes, previous to taking the oath, " I'd like to know
if I'm to have nothing for my throuble e.nd loss of time ; am I
to come here for nothing ?" The Judge referred the matter
to Mr. Forrest, prothonotary, who asked, first, where the wit.
fleas had come from, and secondly, how long he had been here.
It appeared that he cane from Dublin, and left that place on
Saturday last, and that in consideration of this ho had already
been paid 101., and was to have his expenses paid. Mr. Forrest
said that the witness had received quite enough ; and his ob-
jection to be sworn was overruled by his Lordship. The gen-
tleman who thought that with 10/. down, and his expenses
paid for a three days' trip. he had nothing for his throuble
and loss of time," was the captain of a canal boat at 15s. a
week. —Liverpool Mercury.
On Suralay afternoon, as four young men were pro-
ceeding down the river in a cutter, immediately after round-
ing the point below Greenwich, they proceeded towards the
shore, for the purpose of bathing. Two of the party were in
the water, and the third was in the act of following, when one
a
of them, young man, aged 24 years, named Martin, an en-
gineer, suddenly exclaimed, " I am sinking ;" any. before either
of his companions could get to the spot, he sank, and did not
appear again. The deceased (who was to have been married
on Wednesday next) was the only support of a widowed
mother. The body has not been found.
Some Durham cows were lately sold in Kerry at an
average of 30/. ; one brought as much as 40 guineas.

The business, taken either with reference to the quantity traps-
acted, or the alterations resulting from it, possessed very little in-
terest. The two favourites are now pretty nearly at evens, the
Newmarket nag having merely a nominal call. Lanercost, Grey
Momus, Appleton Lad, and Cobham, were severally backed for
small sums, without making any positive advance. Alzira and
Jemmy Jumps are a shade higher in-the quotations, but we did
not observe any strong feeling to back them. The following were
the average prices at the close :-
