We very much regret to announce the death of Lady

JAlndurn Castle on Friday last.—New York Express, May 18.
ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY
To ANtstaLs.—Yesterday the twentieth annual meeting of the mem-
bers and friends of this society was held at the Queen's Concert
Hanover-square—the Lord Bishop of St. David's, in the ab-
"'nee of the Marquis of Westminster, presided. There were present
—Lord Dudley Stuart, W. A. Mackinnon, Esq., M.P., Hon. W.
M.P., Rev. R. Burgess, 8.D., Rector of Upper Chelsea;
I,,ev_. J. Jackson, Rev. Dr. Spranger, John Wilks, Esq., J. S.
",oxingham, Esq., and other gentlemen. The Right Rev. Chair-
thman having opened the proceedings by some remarks eulogistic of
e society, Mr. Thomas, the secretary, read the report, from which
aPPeared that during the past year the operations of the society
have been materially extended, and that numerous auxiliary associa-
tions have been formed with every prospect of success. The National
Schools of the metropolis had been visited, with a view to instil into
the Minds of the pupils the duty of gentleness towards the dumb
*ration. Two hundred and fifty prosecutions had taken place, two
Dog Pits had been suppressed, and the towns of Ramsgate, Margate,
er, Gravesend, and other places of general resort, had been
Placed under the immediate inspection of the officers
of_ the society. The usual prizes of 61., 41., and 21. were
Offered to the scholars of the National Society's Training College,
for the best essays on the means of preventing cruelty to animals.
The receipts of the year had been 1,2171., the expenditure less by
LW A legacy of 1,0001. by Jobn Orr, Esq. of Madras, was acknow-
edged. On the motion of Mr. Buckingham, seconded by the lion.
,„. • Cowper, M.P., the report was adopted, and several resolutions
Were carried expressive of confidence in the result of the society's
Operations.
A RARE PLEASURE.—The last person Joseph Ady
wrote to was Lord Stanley, for he made sure that his Lordship would
send him twenty shillings if only for the novelty of " hearing some-
thing to his advantie.''—Punch.

BTATITE OF SIR WALTER SCOTT.—The beautiful
white marble colossal statue, from the chisel of our eminent sculptor
Mr. Steell, is now in such a state of forwardness,
peda inthat we understand
it will be ready to be placed on its
anntlle monument in
Prince's-street, on the 15th of August, th
natal day of the great novelist and poet. Weehave hadversr of the
of seeing the statue, and we perceive that little remains thefore'leasure
pure
oef Sird
to do. What is chiefly wanting is the finishing polish of the chisel
beautiful stone. Mr. Steell has teen as successful with his ft
Walter's favourite deer hound as he has been with that of hl
master. Both are eminently striking. We understand that the
ornamental parapet and railing round the monument has been con-
tracted for, and promised to be ready, as well as the promenade
grounds, by the 15th of August ; on which day there will be a grand
Procession and inauguration of the statue, at which public bodies
bere, and the masonic lodges here and from many parts in Scotland,
1,111._ give their attendance and assistance. The procession altogether
expected to exceed in numbers and external show that which took
Place at laying the foundation of the monument six years ago.—
Caledonian Mercury.
RATHER REMARKABLE.—AII along the east coast,
during the last few days, there has prevailed a smell of turf smoke,
a circumstance which occasioned considerable surprise, because the
neighbourhood round us producecs but a comparatively small quan-
tity, and certainly not enough to produce such an effect. For some
days the phenomenon was regarded as unaccountable, until it was
suggested that it came over from Holland, the wind lying in the
right direction, and the state of the atmosphere being peculiarly
favourable to the floating of the smoky vapour across the German
Ocean.—Cambridge Advertiser.
A CARRIER PIGEON FROM PARIS.—On Saturday, the
30th ultimo, a carrier pigeon was found by a labouring man in the
_Parish of Great Cornard, near Sudbury, quite exhausted with its
fight. Attached to it was a paper, dated " Paris, May 29," and
containing the prices of the various French railway shares.—
Zu.tiolk Merald.
BASE INGRATITUDE.—At the grand review given at
the
PsatCeiclanll3 de Mars, is honour of Ibrahim Pacha, there were re-
that cries
of
" A bas lea Anglais." The French certainly imagine
e English still rule in France; and yet we wonder at their
forgetfulness, for our nt'e was very different to Louis Philippe's. Ile
IS continually building fortifications—whilst we invariably destroyed
them.—Punch.

SUICIDE BY JUMPING FROM
ItAMSGATE CLIFF.—On
Tuesday morning, about a quarter before seven, a man, named Mil-
ler, who has resided many years at Ramsgate Jumped off the cliff,
opposite the nag-staff at Liverpool-terrace, which' is near the top of
the steps. lie must have got over theace, rahs, for an accident o
kind at this spot could not have happened. His age is said tof theb
about 70. He was reduced in circumstances, and had been hi thee
Union. It is stated that intemperance has caused his misfortune.
lie formerly was possessed of considerable property, and had three
brothers. who are all in good circumstances.
A FAMILY POISONED BY A GLAZED DISH.-00
Saturday last a family in Berwick were exposed to an alarming ac-
cident from a simple cause. The mother of three children bought
In the market-place a large earthen dish, which she immediately
put to use by sending it to the bakehouse with a quantity of fish to
bake. After the meal had been prepared, the entire family (consist-
ing of the mother, two sons, and a daughter), partook of it, and
Shortly afterwards they became seriously ill, and exhibited signs of
being poisoned. Mr. Lilly, surgeon, being sent for, applied proper
antidotes, and they are now recovering. The cause is supposed to
have consisted in the material used for coating the ware not being
Prop
erly mixed, and too great a quantity of white lead being used In
the compound.—Glasgow Courier.
TEMPERANCE EXHIBITION.—In the temperance pro-
cession yesterday, two of the last individuals had a drunken man
Clinging between them, of the following description :—he was with-
out hat or cap, had on a dirty check shirt, a black face, and old
breeches, the tail—stay, the lower department—of his shirt hanging
Out, a thumping pair of clogs trailing on the ground, but no stock •
bugs. He went contentedly along with his sober companions, and
Was Pointed at by them as he proceeded, more particularly when
passing a public-house, to the great amusement of the " boys," and
the sorrow of the men. One of his supporters attracted nearly as
Much attention from his bulk and solidity as the " between twe " did
from his silliness.—Bolton Free Press.
