THE BRITISH QUEEN.—This stupendous steam-
ship, commanded by Captain Roberts, formerly of the Sirius, arrived at
Port Glasgow on Saturday, and went into dock, where she is to receive
her machinery. The Queen left Gravesend on Monday last, and was
towed to Plymouth by the Vulture steamer. Betwixt these places she
had foul winds. At Plymouth the Vulture left, and the Queen then
came right round by the Land's End in fine style, carrying al sail, and
beating every vessel on her way, especially a French brig, which at-
tempted to compete with her for some time. Having arrived at the tail
of the bank early on Saturday morning she was towed into the wet dock
at eleven, by the Samson steamer, the top of whose funnel, it was
observed, just reached the height of the Queen's paddle-box. No
one can have any proper idea of the vastness of this vessel un.
less he go on board. She measures 1,862 tons; the deck is
flush, there being no obstruction of paddle-boxes or machinery
on the whole of her length, which is 275 feet. The American and
British flags flaunted at her mast on Saturday. The interior of the
vessel is equally wonderf6l—it is like a little town—there being two
flats of berths, which amount, we are given to understand, to 300. The
Queen has a full.length likeness of her Majesty in front, and is supposed
to be the largest vessel in the world, being 35 feet longer than any ship
in the Brttish navy. She was built by Messrs. Curling and Young, of
Limehouse, for the British and American Steam Navigation Company ;
and when she gets in her machinery, which Mr. Robert Napier of this
city (Glasgow) is to have the high honour of furnishing, the Queen
wi.l ply betwixt London and New York. Every person who saw her
before she left the Thames, including many naval officers of high rank,
expressed themselves in terms of admiration of the handsome appear-
ance of this vessel, and she proved herself a capital sailor on the
way down, her general running being about eleven knots an hour.—
Scottish Guardian.

The cannon, an eight-pounder, by which Marshal
Damremont was killed at the siege of Constantin; has been brought to

Toulon.

MAD-DOG."--The cry continues in full force.
In Bristol a pi oclamation has been issued commanding the police to kill
all dogs found in and about the city, and an immense number have in
consequence been killed. In one day after the edict had gone forth we
know not how many of man's "faithful friends" were slaughtered. A
correspondent of the Bristol Gazette says " the three days of July sink
into nothing compared with our one day. They were the days of
liberty—ours is the day of destruction. Why is not a bill passed in be-
half of the dogs, in order that they may have the benefit of the act."
A medical man in London of great experince, and in extensive practice,
in a letter to us states, that " fear no doubt greatly multiplies the number
of mad-dogs—that in fact a really rabid dog is very rare indeed : the disease
in forty_nine cases out of fifty lies in the imagination only oft he alarmist
himself, and not in the condition of the condemned dog—whose sanity,
as well as sagacity, is often far less doubtful than that of the two timid,
and exceedingly foolish old women (of both sexes) who see hydrophobia
in every dog that runs, walks, or lies, especiaily if the animal should fail
to conceal the existence of either tongue or tooth." Is our intripid
correspondent the same gentleman who some years ago, at Bath we be-
lieve, astonished all the world by denying the contagious character of
hydrophobia, and asserting that the bite of a rabid dog was as innocuous
as that of any other dog. The gentleman we allude to stated that he
had tested the truth of his theory in his own person.
STRIKE.—The camlet weavers of Norwich con-
tinue to hold out. On Wednesday last there was a meeting at which be-
tween two or three thousand persons attended. We understand that
another thrum was taken away from a workman on Wednesday cvenirg
by some of the weavers.

extent of success has attended these attempts, if made, we are not
able to say. Geologists universally affirm that coals will never be fauna
worth the working in Lincolnshire. We should be happy to see their
prophecies contradicted.—Lincoln Mercury.
The cold which marked the commencement of the
present year has been extremely long in its duration in Sweden, as we
learn by a letter from Stockholm. On the 10th inst., the northern side
of the Isle of Deland, in the Baltic, was still blocked up with immense
masses of ice, which extended to a distance of seven French leagues
into the sea, and which, on several points, were so close to each other,
that when seen from some distance, they seemed to form but a single
mass. They wore five feet thick, and had chilled the atmosphere to
such a degree as to put a stop to vegetation. In the Arctic Ocean and
White Sea, too, the masses of floating ice were unu -eally abundant. An
English merchant vessel, on her voyage from London to Archangel,
recently struck against some of these blocks, and went to pieces at a
short distance from the latter pore—French Paper.
Owing to the sudden, but, it is hoped, not severe
illness of Mr. Baron Bollaed the business of the home circuit for Herts,
which was opened on Wednesday, did not commence till yesterday
morning. Lord Denman tried causes, and Mr. Sergeaut D'OyleY, in
the absence of Mr. Baron Bolland, presided in the Crown Court. Tine
calendar is unusually light, there being but twelve prisoners for trial,
charged wi,h offences of a comparatively trifling nature. On the civil
side thirteee causes are entered, three of which are for special juries.
No case of any importance was brought before either Court during
the day.

ST. SIVI THIN'S DAY, JULY 15.—The satirical
Churchill mentions the following superstitious notions concerning rain
on this dayc—

" July, to whom, the dog star in her train,
St. James gives oisters, and St. Swithin rain."'
Brand, in his " Popular Antiquities," says " I have heard these lines
upon St. Swithin's day :--
,
" St. Swithin's day, if thou dost rain,
For forty days it will remain :
St. Swithin's day, if thou be fair,
For forty days 'twill rata na mair."
