TIIE SMITHFIELD NUISANCE.-At a late hour in
the afternoon of Monday two accidents occurred through
the still existing nuisance of Smithfield market. The
first occurred in High Holborn, opposite Kingsgatc.
street : a gentleman was knocked down by a very
powerful bull, and before he could recover himself he
was severely trampled upon and gored by the infuriated
beast. The second accident oc,...urred in Long-lane,
Smithfield : Henry Bennet, a lad of scarcely seven years
of age, in attempting to cross the road, was knocked
down by a bullock proceeding from the market, and be-
fore he could be rescued wounds of a most shocking
nature were inflicted.

Madame Bishop has given three concerts during
the past week at Cheltenham, in each of which she ex-
cited the greatest enthusiasm. At her last concert she
was encored in every song, with one exception, and she
was called upon to repeat a French air twice, in which
she produced a novel effect by accompanying herself on
the tambourine. Her execution of this chansonette
proved that Madame Bishop is a great artiste, whether
she interprets the most difficult or the most simple
music. A third cavatina, from Ugo di Pariyi, exhibited
to perfection the rare and artistic resources of this most
accomplished vocalist.
PRESENT OF A SPRING OF WATER.—The spring
of water just offered to the inhabitants of Leeds by the
Earl of Harewood, as an auxiliary supply to the Leeds
water-works, rises, it appears, in one of his Lordship's
estates in the liberty of Eccup, about a mile to the north-
west of the public reservoir, and flows in a stream in the
whole of its course through his Lordship's property till
it discharges itself into one of the ponds in Harewood-
park. The capacity of the spring has not yet been ac-
curately ascertained, but it is estimated to yield 200,000
gallons a day.—Leeds Mercury.
SKATING IN THE METROPOLIS.—ACCOrding to the
estimate made by the officers of the Royal humane
i7)ociety, the number of skaters and sliders upon the ice
in the several parks and in Kensington gardens, from
the commencem,nt of the frost up to the 4th instant, is
240,000, and yet only one fatal accident has occurred.

which possesses very peculiar claims upon the favourable
consideration of the public. It is not only extremely
interesting in itself, but the object which the author has
in view, is to obtain relief for the heroine of the tale,
who, after having braved the perils of the whole Penin-
sular campaign, during which her kindness to the sick
and wounded made her generally known to the army,
and attracted the attention of the Duke of Wellington
himself, now finds herself, in her old age, in a state of
destitution. The daughter of a soldier, the wife of a
soldier, and now the mother of soldiers, she may be said
from her very cradle to have
" In the pitched battle heard,
Loud larums, neighing steeds, and trumpets long."
The work gives a full account of her personal adven-
tures, comprising a very stirring narrative of the princi-
pal events of the Peninsular campaign. The work, on
the whole, we have nu doubt, will attain a far greater
popularity even than " Margaret Catehpole."—Sunday
Times.
