DZISCELLAMEOUS.

A Bedford paper mentions, as an tuicommon fact, that
on Sunday last "a jack-daw flew in at the parish church
at Newport Pagnell, (luring divine service, and listened
to the sermon with the most edifying decorum." A
jack-daw at church may be an "uncommon " sight, but.
A. jack-claw" in the House •-of Commons is by no means
" uncommon," for they may be seen there perched by
dozens on the back-seats of the Treasury Bench
The Brentfurd Gas • Company have undertaken to
light the roads between London and Isleworth fur one
week at their own risk.

Mr. O'Connell h,-.ld a, repeal meeting at Dublin on
Tuesday. at which 80,000 persons were present, and out
of which number he stated that nine-tenths were tee-
totallers.

We regret to have to record the death of the Chim-
panzee, who expired last week at his residence in the
Zoological Gardens, Regent's Park. This must be a
zreat loss to the Tories, for we understand that they
intend‘d bringing him into Parliament, where he would
have made a much more etfective speaker than the Hon.
and Gallant Member for Lincoln.

A Belgian Journal says. "A woman of Oreya, aged
forty, and who had never befure had a child, has just
ben hrnucrht to bed of three daughters." This is mak-
ing up for lost time.

BRIGHTON, OCT. 6.—The weather here is
quite horrific—storm and rain ringing the changes in
doleful harmony. There are not ten people to be seen
from ono end of Brighton to the other. All the rest
have gone off to London or some worse place. Nov
and then the sun looks out in mockery to see what the
natives are about, and as they are gaping on the look-
out for new comers, presently down canes a squall of
showers from all points of the compass, warning them to
keep a better look-out next time. Last week lodgings
were Hp 200 per cent.—now you may get them for
nothing. It is a regular surnmcrset.
" Brighton now is out of town,
None in Brighton tarries"—
So blow high or blow low, to-morrow I go,
By coach or by railroad from Brighton.
We are happy to hear that Goldsmith, the
driver of the four-wheel locomotive which ran off the
railway on Saturday, is nearly recovered. He was in
Brighton yesterday, and was able to walk a consider-
able distance. Jackson, the driver of the six-wheeled
engine, is quite recovered. We are informed that the
only injury done to the latter engine was the loss of one
of the front buffer springs, and part of the handrails.,--7.
