ARCHIBALD ninth Earl of DUNDONALD,

iree sons and one daughter.
EARL GREY.—In person he is tall and Com-
..:anding, his head is partly bald, and his countenance,
although severe, is dignified and intellectual. Age does
not seem to have injured his health, or weakened his con-
stitution ; his features are placid, but convey a haughty
expression ; he is remarkah,ly thin, and his height increases
in appearance the spare habit of his body; his action is
not graceful, for he has acquired the practice of hiding
one hand beneath his t, es if standing near the
fire, which is very unbecoming, but at times he extends
arms to their full length, and then his attitude is manly
and imposing. Ile frequently, throughout his speech, ad-
vances from his seat towatds the table, and retires again;

but with him this is an easy movement, unlike the awkward
motions of Sir ROBERT PEEL, who paces at regular inter-
vies, and with invariable sameness, between the table and
the bench, poising one leg upon his toe, lifting up hiS hand
and laying it down again with the regularity of a pendu
loin. The tones of Lord GREY'S voice arc clear, but not
varied or harmonious, and his utterance is distinct and
firtn. —Li veipool Albion.
SINGULAR CURIOSITY.-JAMES SHIM-
WELL, of Over Haddon, one of his Grace the Duke of
DEvossittaE's under keepers, has now in his possession
five young king fishers, which he has reared ; the young
birds live chiefly upon fish, and it is astonishing how
quickly they will destroy the kind of fish called bullhead.

LIVES OF TIIE TRAVELLERS.—Perhaps
there is no class of men who demand the attention of tl..e

biographer in an equal degree with travellers. In his
preface to the present work, which forms the Xlth Vol.
of the National Library, the writer says : " By accom-
panying the adventurer through his distant enterprises,
often far more bold and useful than any undertaken by
King or Conqueror, we insensibly acquire an affection for
his person, and learn to regard his toils and dangers amidst
" antres vast and deserts idle," as something which con
cerns us nearly. And when the series of his wanderings
in foreign realms are at an end, our curiosity, unwilling to
forsake an agreeable track, still pursues him in his return
to his home, and would fain be informed of the remainthr
of his tale." The present volume narrates the romantic
adventures of Matte() POLO, DELLA VALLE, TAVERNIER,
BERNIER, Sir JOHN CHARDIN, MAUNDRELL, and other.,
whose enterprising spirit led them to explore distant lands.
VERY REV. DR. FORAM.—At an early hour
on Monday accounts readied this city of a serious accident
which on the day before fell the very Rev. Dr. For.AN, the
universally esteemed parish priest of Dungarvan. While
driving about nine o'clock on Sunday evening, from Ring,
in his gig, accompanied by one of his curates, the Rev. P.
FOGARTY, the horse, a borrowed one, became restive and
ran off at a furious rate. In descending a steep hill the
gig upset and Dr. FoRAN fell with such force as to have,
in consequence of a concussion on the brain, remained in-
sensible for a long time. Doctors BRISCOE and CON-
NOLLY left this city on Monday, to visit Dr. FORAM ; at
their return yesterday they reported him somewhat re-
lieved, but not at all to be pronounced out of danger. The
Rev. Mr. FOGARTY was severely, but by no means dan-
gerously, injured—although likewise thrown from the gig.
By the coach of yesterday evening we learn that Dr.
FORAN continued to improve.— Waterford Mirror.
A LADY ELECTED PARISH OVERSEER.
—A lady named SARAH Lucy GUISE, residing in the
parish of Horley, near Riegate, appealed, at the Surrey
sessions, Guildford, against being appointed overseer.
The parish in question, which cont tins about 7,000 acres
of land, is divided into the north and north-east districts.
In the north-east district, where Mrs. Guise resides,
there are twenty-two persons competent to perform the
duty of overseer; five of them are women, and among
the remainder are one Magistrate, two attorneys, one pub-
lican, and one very infirm person, who are exempt from
the duty. In the parish there are thirteen parish officers,
and the persons above mentioned are therefore called upon
very often to perform parochial duties. In 1829 a lady,
named BROOKER, served the office of overseer, and Mrs.
Guise was then called upon to perform the *awe duty,
which was the first time during sixteen years that any one
had officiated who occupied the estate held by Mrs.
GUISE. She therefore appealed to the sessions, and it was
alleged on her behalf teat she was between sixty and
seventy years of age, and in ill health ; that there were
ether persons in the pari.h competent to perform the duty
who had never been called upon, and that the election
was made for no other purpose than to annoy her. The
Court, however, confirmed the appointment, and Mrs.
Guise must, therefore, officiate as overseer.
The large fish which was caught at Bognor
last week, was cu' up on Monday, and boiled on the beach
in two large coppers. Upwards of 100 gallons of oil were
extracted. The four men to whom the fish belonged
cleared upwards of five pounds each. A gentleman came
from Guy's Hospital to purchase the fish, but it was in
such a mutilated state, it was impossible to remove it.—

LONGEVITY.—Died, on Friday last, at his
residence in the World's-end-passage, Chelsea, PATRICK
GIBSON, at the advanced age of 1 11. He was born at
Magraphan, in the county of Tipperary, on the 24th of
July, 1720. From his great age, and his very retentive
memory, he was latterly visited by several of the nobility.
This most extraordinary man had lived for the last 93
years without suffering the slightest bodi'y ailment. At
the early age of 17 he was pressed, while staying at Wa-
terford, into the navy ; be was raised to the rank of parser,
and not superannuated till he bad reached the 1021 year
of his age. He was a tall, stout, muscular man, six feet
two inches high. He took a great deal of walking exer
cise, and, until the last year, he daily walked two or three
miles. His diet consisted of pickled pork and salt beef,
principally the latter, of which he usually kept a large
supply in the house. If he dined on fresh meat (which
he scarcely ever did), lie felt of pressed, heated, and fe-
verish, and could not take his glass of porter, which he
always did at his meals. He was a Catholic, and took
milk and potatoes on Fridays. He seemed to die without
any bodily ailment. He took to bed about a fortnight
since, had no pain or uneasiness ; he gradually became
more anti snore exhausted, and ceased to live on the above
morning. He said, " Upwards of 90 years since, I was
prevailed on to take half a glass of raw whisky, which
made me very ill, and brought on an attack of ague. 1
have since been very abstemious, and when dining at mess
or from home, 1 always left the table after taking two or
most three glasses of wine. 1 have not taken raw spirits
or any physic since that period."... Times.
