Two French mails are still due, owing, no doubt, to the
boisterous state of the weather on the French coast. In con-
sequence of these non-arrivals, we are very dull in the City
for want of intelligence from the Continent and the Peninsula.

Ole Bull, Bochsa, Curioni, and Miss Bruce, are
just returned from a most successful tour in the western coun-
ties. During their journey, their average receipts have been
four hundred and fifty pounds a week.

A strong excitement has prevailed for the last week
or two at Horncastle, in consequence of the, refusal of the pa-
rishioners in vestry to grant a rate for the necessary expendi-
ture of the church. The influential inhabitants being, it is
said, averse to attend vestry meetings, because anything but
sober discussion and calm reasoning prevailed there, deter-
mined not to he overborne by a mere show of numbers, and
demanded a poll. This commenced on Friday evening week,
was adjourned till Monday, and was continued till Wednesday
at noon, when it finally closed, the numbers being-242 for the
rate, and 270 against it; majority against the rate, 28. —Don-
caster Gazette.

Early yesterday morning Smart's Club-house, 14,
Park-place, St. James's-street, was entered by means of false
keys, and plundered of 2851. in Bank-notes, viz., five of 501.,
three of 101., and one of 5/. ; besides some silver tea, salt,
and table spoons, a diamond shirt-pin, three diamond studs,
four shirts, &c. The whole of the locks inside were picked,
with the exception of that on the sideboard, which was forced
open. The servants had taken the plate up to the bed-rooms,
leaving only a few trifling things below ; and the house being
about to be closed, prior to Doncaster races, the thieves were
disappointed in not finding a large sum in the bank, as they no
doubt anticipated.

A WHIRLWIND.—A phenomenon of a most extra-
ordinary description excited the consternation of the rural
inhabitants of Membury on Tuesday. It appeared in the form
of a dense mass or column of vapour, agitated by a strong
whirling current of the atmosphere, by which it was propelled
near the surface of the earth with fearful velocity. Passing
over the fields of reaped corn, it scattered the sheaves through
the air in all directions, and would, no doubt, have caused con-
siderable injury to cattle or human beings had its course of
movement brought it in contact with such objects; but fortu-
nately its progress was interrupted by more formidable ob-
stacles, and its force dissipated without any disasters of this
sort occurring. The movement of this humid phenomenon
was accompanied with a loud whizzing sound, and, as stated
by some, occasionally emitting luminous fiery sparks ; but this
latter appearance was no doubt an illusion of vision, arising
from the great impulsive power by which it was kept in me-
tion.—Scotsman.

The principal object of curiosity on the quay of the
London Dock at the present time is a huge vat, landed from
Rrqliant, rec,ntly fr2m Th, vat is
probably the largest ever shipped to this cuunte), and contains
the entire quantity of some rare and extremely old sherry,
which has hitherto been retained in Spain as a specimen of the
finest quality of that much esteemed wine.
