HOW MANY CREATURES A MAN Or SEVENTY BAS
EATEN.—A Cockerian correspondent of the Gateshead
Observer has caloulated what a man night consume on
the avtrage in 70 years. " Taking 10 years off for
infancy—which is too much."—yes! far " too much."
Mamma's dailing Jacky, as Papa knows to his co: t, is
carnivorous long before the completion of his tenth
year—but "taking 10 years cif for infancy," although
"it is too tril.ch," and allowing a man " 4 pounds of
flesh meat per wet-k" (too huh: for an alderman, but
more than a hurg'ess can get held ot), the consumption
at the close of three score years and VA), anicunes, ac.
cording to " our own" Cocker, to 12,4801 b., or 89915 t, ;
or to 156 sheep of 801 b. cacti, or 20 bullocks of 441st. ;
or, to take it still another w:y, to 78 sheep and 10 bul-
locks, " with 6st. over," which may stand for poultry,
fish, sze., " :.,ay 20 of each in the year," or 1,200 poultry,
1,200 fish." But "if we take it in shrimps and shell-fish"
(cud " all is fish"tiw comes to cur correspondent's net),
"[haven only knows what animal l fe is destroyed to
keep up the life of that one animal, man!"

VIENNA.—On the morning of the sth a great military
festivity took place on the Burg Bats. Several soldiers
of the 31 Jager and the Cuirassier Regiment, Prince
Leopold, received the modal of valour, which was affixed
by the Emperor to the breast of each soldier so distin-
guished, the gift being accompanied with a few words
of encouragement and thanks.
The Emperor was as usual received with great en-
thutiasm by the people. In his Majesty's suite was the
new Minister of War, Field-Marshal Count Gynlai.
Field-Marshal Gallas departed yesterday for Tran-
sylvania, in which province he is to undertake the com-
mand in chief. He will travel via Belgrade to the place
of, his destination.
According to letters from Venice, all the foreign
14.giuna at that place refused to fight against the Imperial
treops. Tho Venetians seem to have lost all hopes, and
the neg tiations will probably soon have a favourable
termination.
