T lox. —The Tenth Anniversary Meeting of this Institution
was held yesterday evening in the Friends' Meeting House,
Redeross-street, Southwark, for the purpose of hearing the Re.
port of the last year's Proceedings, the Election of Officers,
and °LI er business, when the report proved of the most grad...,
fying description.

It is rumoured that the daughter of PHILIP
SAMUEL, Esq. and grand-daughter of the late
ASHER GOLDSMITH, Esq. has been recently made
a Ward of Chancery ; and that this rich little
heiress is consequenly under the protection of the
Lotto CUANCELLOR. ThiS is at least a novel
proceeding among the JPI93, as there are not so
many opportunities of effecting clandestine mar-
riages in that nation as amons Christians.—(New
Times.)
About the year 1700, lludde, an opulent bur-
gomaster of Middleburg, animated solely by
literary curiosity, devoted himself and his fortune
to its gratification. lie went to China, to instruct
himself in the language, and whatever was re-
markable in this singular people. lie acquired
the skill of a Mandarin in its difficult language ;
nor did the form of his Dutch face undeceive the
physiognomists of China. Ile even succeeded to
the dignity of a Mandarin ; he travelled through
the provinces under this character, and was re-
turning to Europe with a collection of observa-
tions, the cherished labour of 30 years, when a
shipwreck overwhelmed the whole of his treasures
in the ocean. It was one of the greatest losses,
says Voltaire, the republic of letters ever suffered.
When URRAN.GRANDIER was led to the stake,
a large fly settled on his head ; a monk, who had
heard that Belzebuh signifies in Hebrew the god
of flies, reported that he saw the devil come to
take possession of him.

A WILD Glaz has been lately found in Spain,
in the Sierra de Montero, a desolate and rude
range Of mountains in the south. She had been
seen occasionally by the goat-herds as they wan-
dered through the mountains. The tale at length
reached Cordova, dud the authorities sent offi-
cers in pursuit of her. They succeeded in ap-
prehending her, and she is now in one of the

public hospitals of that city. She is not alto-
gether destitute of understanding, nor ignorant of
language, as she can say a few words, such as
Pepu (Papa), gato (a cat), campo (the country),
And some few others. When she was asked if
she would like to return to the 'country, she
nodded her head in the affirmative. She eats
whatever is given to her, but prefers uncooked
meats and vegetables. In the beginning, cooked
victuals did not agree with her, and made her
sick ; she eats with an extraordinary appetite ;
her cloths -appear as if they were placed on a
stick ; her arms were tied because she was
ever tearing her shoes, in spite of every care
that was taken to prevent her. Sometimes
she has thrown off all her garments, and
run out quite naked into the kitchen garden.—
She has been found, after an interval of two
days, 'coiled up in a place full of mire ; and at
another time she has been discovered in the dung-
hill of the stable. She is about 10 years old, of a
short stature, a deep brown colour, protruding
lips, and so rough, as almost in appearance to re-
semble a wolf. She sleeps by day as well as by
night, without any regularity, and generally
coiled up. Sometimes her sleep has continued
for twenty-eight hours successively, either in bed
or on the ground, with or without covering. She
keeps her eyes mostly closed; and when she is
alone she cries for three hours together, and
the next th'ree hours she laughs. The Duke
de Rive, the Constitutional Alcaldo of Cordova,
has taken a great deal of trouble to find out the
origin of this female ; but it has baffled all his
inquiries, and he has given them up in despair.—
It is supposed she belongs to parents not less
wild than herself, who are still undiscovered in
the mountains.

POETRY.

TO MY CANDLE.
Ah ! drooping flame, I see thee fall,

And ebbing life is like to thee
When death, the final king of all,
Prepares us for Eternity.

Bow like to thee the clinging soul
Hangs round its coil : and like to thee
Whirls round and round the earthly bowl,
Still fearful of Eternity.

See now it fitlls—it sinks—it dies
Rerivid again !—how like to thee
Expiring mortals fall and rise,
When sinking to Eternity !

Ah ! now thou'rt gone, for ever fled,
And darkness reigns,--still like to thee
The silent tomb, which holds the dead
Till call'd unto Eternity.

But when the trump shall sound on high,
Then earthly flame,—not like to thee,
The soul releas'd will cleave the sky,
And shine through all Eternity !

DESPERATE FOX-CHASE, AND DEATH OF
_ _ THREE HORSES.

A fox was found a fewditis since by Capt. Hedges' hounds,
at Sirmourit ; he run off to the eastward, opposite Mr. Beres-
ford's house; he there changed his course, and went off to tha
west, ran through Screnagea Castlechinchy ; from thence to
Hawkmont, through Knockanemore, and tried the Ovens'
earth, the hounds pressed him desperately. Finding that shut
against him, lie crossed the river for Iniscarra-wood, from
thence, south, through Coolroe, Greenfield, and Ballincollig,
where the oltfearth was also shut ; he again changed his course
to the westward, through Ballyburtlen, Ballyburtlen Glen,
Ballinguilla, Grange-glens to Milane, and on the Ballygro.
men, where the old earth was also shut against him, the
hounds running rank at him ; he then ran for the Ovens.again,
and through Sirmount; he then tried a new course, running
direct west, through Sreelane, Clasanure, Fareen,
and to Alias, where. every horse in the field at finding, was
brought to a walk, some not able to move. .Thus ended a
chase of full 20 miles, which left three Nimrod: to deplore
the loss of three good hunters.—( Cork Southern Reporter.)

FAST TROTTING.
It has been stated that two rot trotters, bred in America,
out of a Lancashire mare, had lately been imported into this
country, and were matched for 200 sovereigns each, the one
to trot 15, and the other 16 miles within an hour. They were
bred by Mr. Ponsonby, in the vicinity of New York. The
one did the miles on the turf in Asked Park, Bucks, last
week, without distress, as already stated ; and on Tuesday the
other started on the same ground, over a two-mile circle, and
performed it as follows, betting being 2 to 1 on time:—

min. sec. - min. sec.
Ist two miles in - 7 20 I 6th two miles in - 7 58

3d ditto - -6 56 Bth ditto . .8 32
4th ditto 7 20
sth ditto . - 7 32 Total . 60 22.
Thomatch was lost by 22 seconds, owing to the horse break-
ing into a gallop in the first mile, which lost three quarters of
a minute in turning. The horse carried eight stone, and the
season was much against the performance.

Further Particulars respecting the Murder of
Mr. SMITH, between the Armory Mills, al Black-
heath, and Lewisham.—We understand that ,
Coleman, the blacksmith, who was committed to
Maidstone Gaol with one of the relations of the
deceased, sent for Mr. BICKNEL, of Greenwich,
to make some confessions, which, we understand,
are as follow :—He states, that it was one of the
Smiths that fired, and that they were seven in
number. Also, that a house had been searched,
Where they found a number of picklocks and
other implements in the flue of an oven ; a coat
and several other articles were also found, which
may lead to some further discovery.

A primary school on the plan of mutual in-
struction, had been established at Boulogne-sur-
Mer in 1819, under the auspices of the Sub-Pre-
fect M. llEttatAN, at present Prefect of Landes.
All the Magistrates and functionaries, without
exception, the servants of Government, and the
mostopulent inhabitants of the town, to the number
of 144, contributed by subscription to defray the
expence of establishing this school, and of sup-
porting it. This school, which has recently re-
ceived an augmentation of 200
,scholars, has just
been suppressed by a decision of the University,
which, however, it is hoped, will be repealed, at
least, if it is not the result of 'a retrograde move-
ment in the method of teaching, which it is diffi-
cult to suppose.—(Ftench Paper.)
There was discovered upon Saturday the 11th
inst. in a remote glen in Pentland Hills, near
Babble's How, by Melsrs. Laurie, Surveyor-
General, Robert Turpie, Supervisor, and A.
11/Milian and D. Thomson, Excise *fficers, a
hut containing an illegal still, about 45 gallons
contents, and several large fermenting utensils,
containing about 500 gallons wash, and two casks
with 100 gallons low wines. The still was lodged
in the Excise Office ; and all the other utensils,
with the materials, were totally destroyed. As
no person was found near the place, the depre-
dators must have carried on their diabolical work
during the hours of midnight.._- Ellin. Courant,
Jun.l3.)

On Sunday, as a young gentleman skating on
the Serpentine River was on the point of ad-
justing his skates, a man respectably dressed
(whom he observed repeatedly) ran against him,
and threw him with considerable violence. The
young gentleman, knowing from the other's abi-
lity at skating, that it was designedly done, put
his hand to his pocket to save his watch, but too
late, the thief had forced it from him, but seeing
his object was known, dropped it, and with
swiftness endeavoured to escape. The young
gentleman, though much hurt, followed hid), and
being as skilful in the art of skating as the thief,
in spite of the latter's rnanceuvres, overtook him,
and by a blow brought him down. Through pain
and inexperience of the gentleman, the fellow
effected his escape.
