ing their expectations, he got the key of a kitchen range, and
after making a touch-hole m the key part, which he supposed
to be about six inches long ; he rammed the square hole with
powder and wadding, and produced several explosions. On
the unfortunate occasion in question, he stuffed the barrel with
leather cuttings, none of his comrades having any more waste
paper. He professed himself extremely sorry for the melan-
choly consequence ; and said, having been naturally anxious
about the boy, he went frequently to the Hospital, where he
left the instrument of mischief with the surgeon.
The Magistrate inquired into the state of the poor lad Spen-
ser, and being informed that he laid in a dangerous state, told
Bellamy that although there was no appearance of wilfulness,
he should order him to be detained until the surgeon's certifi-
cate could be obtained, when he would be admitted to bail.

EMIGRATION.—During the list week, several families have
passed through this town on their way to Dublin and Liver-
pool, to procure a passage to America. They all appeared to
be in comfortable circumstances, and were accompanied with
carts carrying the females, their trunks, provisions, &c.—
( Westmeath Journal.)

SNOW BALLS !—As a striking proof of the 10.
lence of the wind at New York, the editor of
the New York Gazette states, on the authority of
a gentleman who witnessed the circumstance,
and who saw several of the balls, that " the
balls of snow falling from the trees on the bat-
tery, at the moment of coming in contact with
the snow on the ground, were kept rolling by
the force of the wind, until some of them ac-
quired nearly the size of a barrel. Several
snow balls thus formed were two feet in dia-
meter !"
