ORIGINAL BON MOT OF •GARRACK.—A
'mat ire writer in the time of GARRICK was in the habi•,
is said, of ill-treating his wife. Conversing one dty
w th the actor, in a sentimental and feeling.like strain, he
dtserv,d—" That a husband who could ill use a wumatt,
.hose lot was, or should be, in common with his, de-
s:trved to h:re his house fired." " A.h ! eh !" exclaimed
GAttatoc (who knew how the menage was conthiend),
I hope, —, that your house is insured."
The Journal de Rouen states, that on the
evening of the 18th an immense swarm of small wi: t-
butterflies appeared there, and after flying about, fro n
suit-set -till late in the night, along the houses netr the
port, myriads fell dead on the pavetn,nt, i was
literally covered with them.
IRON TRADE.—The iron trade in this die-

6/. 15s. per ton has been obtaiied for new orders.— Cam.

DISCOVERIES IN AUSTRALIA.—As WC
were travelling through a forest we surprised a huntin
pa, ty of natives. Mr. Hoare and I were considerably in
front of our party at the time, and he only had his gun
with him. We had been moving along so quietly that we
were not for some time observed by them.—Three were
seated on the ground, under a tree, and two others were
busily employed on one of the lower branches, cutting out
honey. As soon as tbey saw us, four of them ran away ;
but the fifth, who wore a cap of emu feathers, stood for a
moment looliing at U 9, and then very delihe,rately
dropped out of the tree to the ground. I spe, dily
allvanced towards him, but More I got round a let-h
that intervened he ha I d sited away. I was fear at that
he was gone to collect his tribe, and, under this impression,
rode quickly back for my gun to support Mr. HUME, On
my arrival I found the native was before me. 11, stood about
20 paces from Mr. Iluare, who was endeavouring to explain
whit he was; but seeing me approach, he immediately
poised his spear at him, as being the nearest. Mr. HUME
then unslung his carbine, and presented it ; but as it was
evident my reappearance had startled the savage, I pulled
up, and be immediately lowered his weapon. His en minces
and courage surprised me, and increased my desire to coin.
municate with hint. He had evidently taken both min
and horse for one animal, and as long as Mr. HUME kept
his seat, the native remained upon his guard; but when
he saw hint dismount, after the first astonishment had stilt-
sided, he struck his spear into the ground, and walked
fearlessly up to him. We easily made him comprehend
that we were in search of water ; when he pointed to the
west, as indicating that we should supply our wants there.
He gave his information in a frank and manly way, with-
out the least embarrassment, and when the piny passed
he stepped back to avoid the animals, without the smallest
confusion. lam sure he was a very brave man ; and 1
left him with the most favourable impression, and not
without the hope that he would follow us."--Atheneum.
KING'S THEATRE.—We know not how the
charming, though often-played opera of Cenerentola,
could have been better cast in any capital of the worl.l
than at this theatre on Saturday, and we are glad, for
the taste of the town, to say, that it was well a•tended.
The only novelty was Madame MALIBII A N as the heroine,
a part she took on Thursday to but a select audience.
TAMBURINI, as the disguise& servant, never sung better ;
and much as we admire him, and often as we have spoken
of him, we do not think we ever yet did him full justice.
DONZELLI was in considerably less force than usual, and
gave his first scene tamely, if not. lamely. Zucrt ELM, on
the other hand, was immensely amusing in the Magnifico.
Afcec Cenerentola, the mad scene from Anna liolena was
given, and here PASTA obtained her triumph. She was
at first rather coldly received; but long before the close
the audience was ready to burst out with admiration, anti
at the finish the whole pit rose, and shouts and apulauses
resounded front every part of the thronged theatre. PASTA
seemed to think that there was an attempt to set up a
rival, and sang and acted certainly beyond all rivalry.
The ballet of Masaniello was to follow, anti we conclude
that it was duly performed; but, after PASTA'S scene, it
was impossible for us to endure the dancing, and we left
me theatre.

SINGULAR CASE OF ONE PRISONER IN
NEWGATE ROBBING ANOTHER.—Last week, Mr. Ald.
HARMER inv(stigated an extraordin try case of robbery in
Newgate. A prisoner named GREIG, who was sentenced
to be transported fur seven years, learned that a fellow
prisoner named WILLIS had in his possession 2001. in
bank-notes which had been stolen by a boy, a prisoner in
Clerkenwell, from his master, and that he was at a loss
to dispose of them, and thinking he could make a pod
thing of the information, he entered into a negotiation
with Wilms for the purchase of the notes, anti 301. was
agreed on between them for the purchase-money.
As the parties were in different parts of the prison, a son
of CREWS, who visited the prison on the pretence of
being an attorney's clerk, was the negotiator; and, on the
day appointed, delivered to WILLIS twenty-nine sovereigns
and 20s. in silver, and received from ban a sealed parcel,
which he assured the man of law contained the 200/. in
notes. The young negotiator having informed his father
that be had the praperty safe, and t tken his instructions
respecting its disposal, left the prison withmit breaking the
seal, fearing detection ; but no sooner had he got into a
coach, than, anxious to see the faces of the notes, he broke
open the parcel, anti was astounded to Stu: that it con-
tained nought but waste paper. He hastened back and in.
formed his father of the fraud that had been practised;
and the father, either in resentment or despair, itnme
diately wrote to Mr. WONTN ER stating the facts of the case
WILLIS was immediately examined, and stoutly denied
any knowledge of the facts asserted by GREIG and his
father ; but being searched, the 29 sovereigns and 20,,,

by the boy were OwEN's labour notes, which Wades for
a time took to be hank-notes, and when he found his mis-

deceiving his fellow thief before he took his departure
from prison.— Observer.
PROPERTIES OF OCTOBER BEER.—Prac•
tical brewers are well aware, that the peculiar flavour
and other qualities of malt liquor depend very much on
the water used, the temperature of the air, and the parti-
cular exposure of the tnalthouse as well as the brewhouse.
London porter, therefore, can only he brewed in Lon-
don ; for though a London brewer were to go to
Calcutta, or Sr. Petersburgh, and use what he imagines
to be the same ingredients, and tl e same process, he
will be altogether disappointed in the result. Hence
the imprataieability of following the receipts given in
hooks for making Edinburgh, Burton, or Weideor
ale ; for without the same water, and the same exposure,
as the famous breweries in those particular places, the
thing is impossible. It is these several circumstances
which influence the qualities of beer brewed in October,
which has for ages acquired a high character. The state
of the air, except so far as regards its temperature, we
cannot so particularly appreciate ; but we know some of
the changes which take puree in water during the month
of October. The decay of vegetables, in immense quan-
tities, must tend to impregnate both rivers and springs with
putrid matter, which if not in great excess, may be rendered
inoffensive by combining with the etrthy salts of the
,vater ; anti at the seine time these salts will be in some
legree neutralized, and the water rendered sifter than be-
fore; and nobody needs to be told, that the softer wak.r
is, the more fitted it is for brewing. A late author 1•4
,herefore decidedly wrong, who says it is to an e.r.rttm:,7:
