DEATH OF GEORGE CRICHTON, ESQ.—It
is our painful duty to record the sudden death of Mr.
Crichton, Manager at Leith, for the London, Edinburgh,
and Glasgow Shipping Company. Mr. Crichton had been
afflicted with an attack of paralysis some years ago,
from the effects of which, however, he had, to appear-
ance at least, almost wholly recovered. He was twice
at church last Sunday, and went to bed in his usual
health, but during the night he complained of difficult
breathing, and expired in the course of a few minutes. Mr.
Crichton was an industrious and active citizen, and
man of business, and at one period of his life took
much interest in:rthe civic matters, both of Edinburgh
and Leith, but more especially as regarded the obtain-
iog of facilities for the trade of the port.—Edinburgh
Adilrtiser.

SALMON AND GRILSE.—The river Tweed,
from Berw!ek to Kelso, has for some time past been lite-
rally teeming with salmon and grilse. On Sunday night,
'about eight o'clock, hundreds were seen passing up the
river at the Ferry, at Sprouston, and other shallow
parts, and on Itonday morning great numbers were
observed making their way from Maxwheel through
the different arches ofKelso-bridge ; and above
the bridge, where the river is very shallow at present,
they were seen in immense shoals ploughing their way
up the water. Altogether it was a novel and interest-
ing sight, and shows clearly the unprecedented number
of fish which must be at the mouth of the river. The
neighbouring markets have been abundantly supplied all
this week with fish of excellent quality, and at very mo-
derate prices. Salmon have been selling at 6d. to Ea,
and grilses from sd. to 6d. per lb.—Newcastle Journal.
QUAILS.--A bevy of these rare and delicate
little birds were discovered a few days Nance, in a small
patch of wild ground near Beaulieu, on alp Toad to
bouthampton. They were taken by the parties who firg
saw them to be young partridges ; but an old sporting
officer, the moment he viewed them, pronounced them
to be quails, he having shot numbers of them when_ so-
journing in the southern provinces of Spain. The above
bird is very seldom to be met with in a wild state in this
country.
