Flsx, FOWL, AND Fox STORY.—Some years
since, a Mr. Bourne, of Falmouth, set a hook and line for the
purpose of catching a bass. On the following morning he went
to see if he had a bite, when he found that his hook was out of
the water, and carried over a small breach hill, situated near
hy. He at first supposed some roguish boys had mischievously
done this, but found on examination this was not the case. A
bass had taken the hook in his mouth, which left the fish, at
low water, with the hook projecting through the gills. A gull
flying over, and seeing the bass, thought he would stop and
take a breakfast on the bass, but the gull was soon hooked by
the point of the hoOlt projecting as aforesaid. A fox passing
over that way thought to breakfast on fish and fowl, but was
soon hooked in a similar manner Thus the old gentleman
was favoured with a fish, fowl, and fox.—American Paper.
DAME PARTLET.—A few days ago, as Mr. Adam
Fox, of Sunny Side, near Chapel-en-le-Frith, was walking in
his fields, he put up a brace of partridges, and immediately
found they were parent birds with 14 young ones, which he
took home with him. A common hen in the yard took the
little strangers under her care, and now may be seen tending
them with the utmost care and tenderness, leading them about
as though she were their natural parent, and chuckling with.
evident satisfaction over her partlet family, who appear quite
domesticated, and may be seen following the hen about the
yard as comfortably as though they were not the offspring of
parents in the wild state.—Stockport Advertiser.
THE LATE STORM.—We state on authority of
the Salisbury Journal, that during the terrific storm of the sth
instant, a grass field at Whadden, near that city, was so com-
pletely cut up by the hail, that it will not require to be
ploughed, but may be sown with turnips as it is. In one spot
on the farm where this field is situate, there was a heap of hail
stones four feet high, the quantity of which was estimated at
nearly 150 waggon loads. The hailstones in some places re-
mained unmelted for nine days.

MEETINGS OF CREDITORS TO-MORROW.
W. Gilbert, stationer, King's Lynn `) at 12
J. Andrews, victualler, Seven-dials

About one o'clock on Sunday se'ennight, a servant,
girl in the employ of Mr. Tooby, mercer, of Westgate-
street, Gloucester, got up in her sleep, and opening a
front room window on the second fiber, walked or threw her-
self out. The perpendicular height from the ground was up-
wards of thirty feet, and had she fallen upon the pavement, in
all probability, she would have been killed upon the spot ; but
it was supposed that in her descent, her body impinged upon
the top rail of an iron balcony in front of the first floor windows,
by which she was cast in a slanting direction, clear of the
pavement, into the carriage roadway, which, having been re-
cently pitched and covered with a thick coating of loose gravel,
fortunately broke the violence of her fall. A policeman on duty
near the spot heard the window thrown up, and the fall of
some heavy body, and, on coming up, found the poor creature
lying in her night garments in a state of insensibility. Sur-
gical assistance was promptly procured for her, when it was
found that not a bone was broken, and the injuries she had sus-
tained were comparatively trifling. She was subsequently con-
veyed to the Infirmary, and is now doing very well. It ap-
pears that she was fast asleep, at the time, and dreamt that
her mistress bad called her twice.—Cheltenham Chronicle.
PUNISHMENT BY PROXY.---TURKEY.—The Ga-
zette de Weimar makes the following reflections on the occa-
sion of the bastinado, which the inferior Turkish officials were
to have suffered for their outrage on Mr. Churchill :—" We
ought to make knovrn a thing of which the world is generally
ignorant, that in Turkey there exists a number of substitutes,
poor persons, who receive the bastinado in lieu of the criminal
to be punished, who agrees to pay a certain sum, the price de-
pending upon the number of blows which the substitute is to
receive. A substitute is usually found at the rate of 50 pias-
tres, (about 411- Imperial crowns), and in every place of any
importance in Turkey, several Mussulmans of the lowest class
have no other means of existence. In this manner the punish-
ment of the bastinado loses much of its cruelty, since he who
is condemned to suffer it never receives it if he possesses
money enough to pay a substitute:"
