WATERSPOUT.—it is not frequent that those ter-
rible things, waterspouts, spend their powers upon land.
Like the petrel, a stray one, however, is occasionally
caught on the hills, and, bursting, deluges the plains that
lie below. On, the night of the 19th ult. one of these
watery visitants expended itself on the hill above Inver-
rsorriston House. The noise was awful ; and before the
cause could be conjectured—for in the darkness the
cloud could not be descried—the rivulets had become
changed into headlong, red, and destructive torrents.
Trees were torn from their roots by the sudden and
powerful inundation, and the ledges of two bridges were
carried away by the Invermerriston burn. At one place
it made a new channel for itself. Th,.t houses on the
banks were inundated, and considerable alarm was felt
by the people.—lnverness Courier.
THE WINTER ASSIZES.—Mr. Justice Cresswell
and Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams, the Judges ap-
pointed to preside at our winter assize, will open the
commission for the county and city at York, this day

tend Divine service at the cathedral, when the assize
sermon will be preached by the sheriff's chaplain, the
Rev. S. Gamlen, vicar of Bossall ; and their Lordships
will be accompanied to the cathedral by James Walker,
Esq., of Sand Hutton, the high-sheriff of the county. At
present there are ninety-nine prisoners for trial in the
county and one in the city, exclusive of those out on
bail, and some,of the cases to be tried will excite con-
siderable interest,—Leeds Times.

London, leaves Paris in a few days for England, having
