Captain notham, Wooliners, Herts.
A Fox CAUGHT BY A LIMPET.—It is a
well known fact that foxes, inhabiting sea-shores, sub-
sist chiefly upon limpets, and other shell-fish. One day
last week it happened, that whilst A fox was searching
for his food on the shore at Porthwen, near Cemaes, he
found a large limpet on'a rock, basking in the sun, it
being low water at the time. licynard. thrust his tongue
;„7nee.th the shell, when the limpet, on being disturbed,
instant:: cleaved to the rock, holding poor foxy fast by
the tongue. SOTL after the tide began to flow, and in a
short time the roc: f was covered. The fox was found
grasp of the limpet, at the
dead, his tongue still in the
ebb, by a young man who was Tossing.
PLANTS OF THE PHILIPI7NE ISLANDS.—
In these islands are two plants which welt deserve to be
inquired after by persons visiting them. Th,-.7 are thus
described by a zealous, but not scientific correspoijen,
who has recently returned :—One is a raspberry, whien
t
is found upon the summit of the highest mountain in
these islands, 7,117 feet high. The beauty of its leaves,
and its large yellow fine-tasted fruit, would render it
acceptable to the horticulturists of Europe. The other
is a noble lily-like plant, growing in small lakes, with
strong upright leaves, some of which are eighteen inches
in diameter. The flower is large, with close-set petals,
from, four to five inches long; the lower part of the
petals white, the upper a beautiful tlear pink,
DEATH OF MR. PEREGRINE COURTENAY.
—We regret to announce the death of the Right Hon.
Thomas Peregrine Courtenay, brother to the Earl of
Devon, under very distressing circumstances. He was
on a visit to his noble relatives at their seat, Powderham
Castle, and on Wednesday last proceeded to Torquay for
the benefit of sea-bathing. On the following day, whilst
swimming a short distance from the beach, it is supposed
he was seized with cramp, and sunk to rise no more.
The Right Hon. Gentleman formerly filled the office of
Vice-President of-the Board of Trade and Commissioner
of the Board of Control, and was for several years M.P.
for Totues. He was in the 59th year of his age. In 1805
he was united to Anne, daughter of Mayow Meynell
Mayow, Esq., of Syd9.nham, Kent, by whom he has left
a family of thirteen children (eight sons and five daugh-
ters), all: of whom, with his lady, survive their melan-
choly loss.

The strike against the butchers still continues
at the Welsh iron works ; more than 40,000 persons arc
now abstaining from fresh meat, and have pledged theni-
selves to do so until the price is reduced to 41d. per lb:
The Monmouthshire colliers have also joined their
brethren at the iron works. This has caused an immense
demand for bacon. Large quantities are •brought:every
week from Bristol, Bridgewater, and Cardiganshire ;
it meets with a ready sale at 9d. to 10d. per lb.—Man-
ciester Times.

The election at Homcastle engrossed so much
attention last Tuesday week, that a funeral waited half
an hour in the churchyard before a clergyman could be
found to reatl the funeral service - over the dead. One
from Horsington happening to pass by, took compassion,
and the service was performed.—Stun ford Mercury. -
TORY FABRICATIONS...--Tile Tory papers of
Thursday and Friday gave accounts of a " horrid out-
rage" in Ireland, in which it was stated, that Mr.
Gurney, a magistrate, who had been agent to the late
Lord Norbury, had been shot at, and narrowly escaped
assassination. It turns out, however, that Mr. Gurney
was the party who shot at others, and had not been shot
at. The following is Mr. Gurney's own version of the
matter :—" Yesterday I had the pleasure of breaking
up an ambush of two fellows, with guns pointed at me
through a hedge. I got three shots
~,at them—unfor-
tunately the range was too long for my pistols. My
clerk and I ran them into cover. The cowardly villains
would not wait to exchange a shot with us. They were
two of Gleeson'sgang."—Dublin Post. _ _
