Dr. DARWIN one day at Nottingham, assem-
bled a large crowd round him, and, standing upon a tub, thus
addressed them :—" Men of Nottingham, listen to me. You
are ingenious and industrious mechanics. By your industry
life's comforts arc procured for yourselves and families. If
you lose your health, the power of being industrious will for-
sake you. That you know; but you do not know, that to
breathe fresh and changed air constantly is not less necessary
to preserve health than sobriety itself. Air becomes unwhole-
some in a few hours if the windows are shut. Open those of
your sleeping-rooms whenever you quit them to go to your
workshops. Keep the windows of your workshops open, when-
ever the weather is not insupportably cold. I have no interest
in giving you this advice. Remember what I, your country-
man, and a physician, tell you. If you wou1:1 not bring in.
fection and disease upon yourselves, and to your wives and
little ones, change the air you breathe, change it many times a
day by opening your windows."

amount of ogr /11, carefully, packed in her trunk jewel-
lery toooo/. sterling, a property, of course,
not wholly

but most likely presented to her by her generous anti liberal
entretenertr. On her arrival in the French capital, she found
that her jewel box was gone. The robbery is supposed to have
' been committed in London, by persons who were about her
whilst packing her trunks. No due has yet been discover-
ed that is likely to lead to their detection.—(Aforllinz Paler.)

DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A CAT.—Tuesday
Thomas Horsfielil, a tailor, residing at Cottage-place, Newing-
ton, died of hydrophobia, produced by the bite of a mad cat.
About eight weeks ago, while he was at work in his shop, a
neighbour's cat, which was suspected to be in a rabid state, ran
into his house, followed by two or three persons, and although
he was warned that she was mad, he left his work and walked
over to the corner into which the animal had crouched herself',
and proceeded to rub down her back and fondled with her, in
order to convince those present that they were mistaken, and
that poor puss was only a little out of temper. lie, however,
had not caressed her many seconds, before she seized the fleshy
part of his right hand with her teeth. The poor fellow has left
a wife anti three children totally unprovided for.
Suomi NG ACClDENT.—Yesterday a lad, named
Southern, in the employ of Mr. Drysdale, an
eminent surgeon residing at Kennington, In at-
tempting to get up behind one of the long stages
on the Brixton road, the coach suddenly pro-
ceeded on its journey, when the left hand of the
unfortunate youth slipped, and coming in contact
with the wheel of the coach, drew the hand in
and completetiy tore it to atoms. The youth
since has undergone amputation, by having the
whole of his fingers cut off.
