M. Giezal, formerly a Member of the Con-
vention, and who was also Secretary to the Council of Five
Hundred, the Corps Legislatif; and the first Chamber of
Deputies, died a few days ago, at the age of 73 years. M.
Merlin de Thionville, also a Member of the Convention,

In the townland of Taranaghmore, near Kells,
in the county of Antrim, Miss Sarah Canning put under
a turkey-hen, in the beginning of last July, 20 eggs of the
turkey species. After allowing the turkey to sit eight
days, the lady added 20 common hen eggs. After a lapse
of 21 days more, 40 living birds were produced ! Twenty
turkeys, and as many hen chickens, followed the same
corntnon parent, and all arrived at a certain degree of
maturity.—Belfast Paper.
The published plan of the London and
Brighton Railway makes the line as nearly as passible di-
rect from Kennington Common to the entrance of Brigh-
ton a distance of about forty-seven miles, and the passage
is to be made in two hours. The line of road runs to
Streatham, east of 'Mitcham and Sutton to Merstbam,
leaving Riegate about four miles to the west, on to Hor-
ley and Worth, passing Crawley about a mile westward to
within a mile of Cuckfield, and on through Hurstperpoint
and Patchem to Brighton. Branch toads are contem-
plated, one from ❑ear Cuckfield to Lewis and Hastings,
another commencing at Horley through Crawley, a
little south-esst of Horsham, and passing close to Steyning
and Bramber on to New Shoreham. There is a third
line laid down along the Sussex coast through Shoreham,
Worthing, Littlehampton, Chichester, Havant, Cosham,
Fareham, and ending at Southampton. The estimated
expense is 850,0001. It appears that at present about
six hundred persons pass daily, upon the average of the
year, from London to Brighton ; they culculate on being
able to carry passengers for about eight shillings, or two-
pence a mile. The coaches at present are taking people
for seven shillings, so great is the competition on the road.
We labour under a mistake in supposing that
the flesh of the young carrion crow is rank and unpalat-
able. It is fully as good as that of the rook; and I be-
lieve that nobody who is accustomed to eat rook-pie will
deny that rook-pie is nearly, if not quite, as good as pigeon-
pie. having fully satisfied myself of the delicacy of the
flesh of young carrion crows, I once caused a pie of these
birds to be served up to two convalescent friends, whose
stomachs would have yearned spasmodically had they
know❑ the nature of the dish. I had the satisfaction of
seeing them make a hearty meal upon what they con-
sidered pigeon-pie.— Charles Waterton. Gardner's
Magazine.

Wednesday a fight took place between two
men, named Lynch and Keating, employed in Casey's
brewery, near Bagenals town. During the scuffle the
parties approached the " mash•tun," or kieve, when
Keating seized on his antagonist and threw him into the
liquid, the heat of which was supposed to be at leaft ISO
degrees at the time. Lynch was most dreadfully scalded,
and though medical attendance was instantaneously pro-
cured, there are but little hopes entertained of his reco-
very. Keating has absconded.—Carlow Sentinel.

SLAVERY IN AMERICA A CENTURY AGO.
David Jones, a saddler, a middle-aged man, who bad for
some time lived at Nottingham, being at Bristol met a
person there, who, after giving him some account of
Georgia, asked whether he would go thither, adding his
trade (that of a saddler) was an exceeding good trade there,
upon which he might live creditably and comfortably. He
objected his want of money to pay his passage and buy
some tools, which he should have need of. The gentleman
(Captain W.) told him he would supply him with that,
and hire a shop when he came to Georgia, wherein he
might follow his business, and so repay him as it suited
his convenience. Accordingly to Georgia they went,
where, soon after, his master (as he styled himself) sold
him to Mr. Lacy, who set him to work with the rest of
his servants in clearing land. He commonly appeared
much more thoughtful than the rest, of:en stealing into
the woods alone. He was now sent to do some work on
an island, three or four miles from Mr. Lacy's great plan-
tation. Thence he desired the other servants to return
without him, saying be would stay and kill a deer. This
was on Saturday; on Monday they found him on the
shore, with his gun by him, and the forepart of his head
shot to pieces. In his pocket was a paper book; all the
leaves thereof were fair, except one, on which ten or
•welve verses were written, two of which were these—
.' Death could not a more sad retinue find
Sickness and pain before, and darkness all behind."

Wesley's Journal.

ANECDOTE OF COLLINS AND A COUN-
TArmAx.—Anthony Collins, who has generally been con-
sidered as a Freethinker one (*.ay met a plain countryman
going to church. " Where are you going ?"
said the
philoloptier. "To church, sir." " What to do there ?"
" I worship God, sir ?" " Pray is your God great or
little?" "He is both, sir." " How can that be ?"
" Why, he is so great that the heaven of heavens cannot
contain him, and he is so little that be cannot dwell in my
heart." Collins afterwards declared, that this simple
observation of the countryman had more effect upon his
mind than all the volumes he had perused, written by the
learned doctors.

DONCASTER RACES.
Doncaster, Tuesday Night.
During the whole of the morning the town was in a
constant state of excitement ; carri ages, stage-coaches, and
every other kind of vehicle flocked in from all quarters,
the foot passengers and horsemen at the same time pouring
in in such droves as to make us look about for evidence of
the badness of the times and the falling otf of this popular
meeting. Still it has fallen off in every respect:
the lodgings do not let so well as formerly, or on such
terms; the country gentry are lukewarm; and, what is
worse, the St. Leger, from various causes. has suffered a
manifest diminution of interest will sporting men. About
one o'clock there was a general move for the racecourse,
and by the time appointed for the commencement of the
running it had assumed its wonted brilliant appearance.
The Grand Stand never presented a more captivating dis-
play of fashion and beau ty,while the stands of more humble
pretention received their full share of support from those
who wisely concluded that a sovereign for admission was
" paying too dear for the whistle." The immense mass
of people that lined either side of the ground gave addi-
tional interest and effect to the prettiest racecourse in the
kingdom. Our time was necessarily occupied by the St.
Leger, so that if our list of the fashionables be short our
readers must take it for granted that want of time alone
prevented our extending it. Those who met our notice
were—

Up to a late hour last night, and again during the whole
of this morning, the Betting Room was crowded ; and
from the noise, confusion, and thronging round the tables,
where the most influential speculators were seated, a
stranger would have been lea to believe that business was
brisk ; the reverse of this was the case. Very few horses
were fancied, much doubt prevailed as to the jockeys, and
those who would otherwise have betted round found, upon
calculation, that the nature of the odds and the scarcity of
backers of horses would not permit them to do so with
any chance of reasonaWe profit. The money laid out last
night was chitily on Muley Moloch, Belshazzar, and
Revenge, none of the others being in force. This morning
it was reported upon good authority that Mr. o,baldeston
had consented to give up James Robinson, who would
ride Belshazzar; this gave fresh energy to the backers of
that colt, and he immediately advanced in the market,
Muley Moloch suffering a slight decline. It was, of course,
made a subject of remark that Mr. Osbaldeston should
resign his jockey after The Tutor's wonderful amateur
performances; but there is no wonder in the case; it is
evident that they had been greatly deceived in their trial
nag, The Saddler (a second edition of the Newmarket
failure), whose race for the Fitzwilliain Stakes at once
opened their eyes to the truth that their pet was ‘, no go."
Various minor changes occurred after yesterday's races.
Connoisseur sprung several points, and Dancing Master
again figured as an outrider, entirely through the
exertions of his owner, who seemed remarkably ele-
vated by the success of his horse Tomboy. Premising,
that in our notices of the favourites upon this and other
occasions we have been entirely governed by their public
running, we will now add their performances this alter-
noon and the odds against them at starting :—Just as the
jockeys were about to receive the usual instructions from

Mr. Lockwood, Mr. Oslialdeston entered the weighing
room, and gave permission to James Robinson to ride
Belshazzar instead of The Tutor, for which he had

weighed, Mr. 0. evidently being under an impressio❑
that be should have Lord Kelburne's jockey (Nelson) as a
substitute. Robinson then changed jackets, &c., with
Nicholson, and they went with the others to the stables.
Here, however, Mr. 0. discovered his mistake, and, ob-
jecting to Nicholson, insisted upon Robinson's riding The
Tutor, which he did accordingly. This shifting of riders
created a good deal of confusion ; it certainly would have
been as well if the matter had been arranged before going
to the Course. On the formation of the ring Mr. Watt
declared to win with Rockingham. The betting then
commenced, and amidst a Babel-like noise and confusion

of tongues we were enabled to ascertain the following to be
the closing prices:—.

3 tO-. I agst Duke of Cleveland's Muley Moloch
4 to 1 agst Mr. Watt's Belshazzar
6 to 1 agst Mr. Walker's Alussulman
6 to 1 agst Mr. Rawlinson's Revenge
7 to 1 agst Mr. Watts's Rockingham
14 to 1 agst Colonel Crawford's The Mole
18 to 1 agst Mr. iNiostyn's Jack Faucet
25 to I agst Mr. Walker's Anne (taken)
25 to 1 agst Mr. Gully's Deceiver
30 to 1 agst Dancing Master
30 to 1 agst Mr. Chitney's Connoisseur
40 to 1 agst Lot
40 to 1 agst Mr. OsbAldiston's Tutor
100 to 1 agst Carnaby
About halt-past three o'clock the horses assembled at
the starting-post, having taken the usual preliminary
gallop before the Grand Stand. One false start took
place, in which Connoisseur, The Mole, Lot, and Danc-
ing Master run some twenty or thirty yards before they
observed the signal of recal. The second attempt was
successful. The Mole jumped off with the lead, which
was taken from him after a few strides by Tesane, and she
as soon resigned it to Belshazzar, who, it seemed, was to
cut out the work for the whole team ; accordingly he
made the running at a wretched pace, Muley Moloch and
The Mole next him, and behind them Tesane, sister to
Retainer, Lot, Deceiver, Forester, and Glaucus: nearer
the middle was Revenge, Jack Faucet, Anne, and Mussul.

man; Rockingham was in the rear, and Laurel's dam last
of all. Belshazzar kept the lead at the same miserable pace
thus enabling the ragged ones to keep up, and accounting
for the absence of the usual tail at the Red House. After
going about a mile and a quarter, Tesane, Lady Fulford,
Forester, Deceiver, and sister to Retainer appeared to have
bad enough of it. On coming past the Red House Mussul-
man, Revenge, and Muley Moloch took up a position nearer
the leading horse ; and Rockingham, who had hitherto
been waiting in the back ground, began creeping up, but
still without gettiag into the front rank. Belshazzar
continued the lead to the distance, where he was closely
pressed by Mussulman, Muley Moloch, and the Mole,
clustered round whom were Revenge, Glaucus, Carnaby,
Anne, Rockingham, and the Tutor. Here Muley ran a
few yards with Belshazzar, and was speedily shaken off.
Mussulman then went up to him, and defeated him after a
short struggle. It was now that Rockingham became
conspicuous in the race. Just before the Grand Stand he
went by Mussulman, and, without running with him, beat
him very cleverly Ely more than a length. Carnaby was a
good third, Belshazzar fourth, Glaucus fifth, and the Mole
s'arth ; behind these were Revenge, Muley Moloch, Anne,
and the Tutor; the others pretty well up. A bad pace
throughout, and no tailing.

FIRE IN THE DUKE OF BEDFORD'S PLAN-
TATIONS.-On Monday one of the plantations of the Duke
of BEDFORD, on Luseombe Down, Tavistock, took fire,
owing to the heedlessness of a woodman, who kindled a
portion of the browse amongst the plants. It was not
immediately discovered, and more than three acres of fine
firs, &c., were consumed. Its further extension was pre-
vented by the cutting down or clearing away several trees
in the rear of the conflagration.—Sherborne Mercury.
EXTRAORDINARY ECCLESIASTIC.—There
is a Rev. Father, Cure of Colason, near Manilla, who
always carries loaded pistols in his peregrinations. He is
a man of herculean stature, and robust strength; can
demolish a moderate sized ham for breakfast, eat a whole
sheep for dinner (the sheep are small here), and quaff a
large bottle of wine at one draught, never using a glass.
This worthy pillar of the church was formerly a soldier
in the campaigns of the Peninsula with Lord Wellington,
and i., notwithstanding his powers of digestion, much
respected here in his new capacity.— Osborne's Account
of Manilla and Singapore.
The meeting of the charitable institution
called the Hospital of St. John the Baptist, Winchester,
ordered to be restored by the Court of Chancery, is
proceeding with much activity; and the noble edifice,
when complete, will he an ornament to the city, and
afford a comfortable asylum to such of its inhabitants as
may be thought worthy of being rescipients of the
munificent donor's bounty. Two admirably-carved busts
of his present 111Aszsir and of the Bishop of
WIN-
CHES4ER have just been completed, for the purpose of
being placed in some conspicuous part of the building.—
Hampshire Chronicle.
At a Common Hall, held on Friday, the free-
dom of Plymouth was unanimously voted to Lord Boring-
don, son of Earl Morley. Several gentlemen spoke highly
of the services rendered to the borough by Earl Morley,
and expressed their conviction that Lord Boringdon would
tread in his noble father's footsteps. Mr. R. Bayly gave
notice that on the ensuing charter day he should propose
that the freedom of the borough should be presented to
Lord Ehrington.
A Report has been published relative to
making a harbour at Stotfield Point, the property of Col.
J. Brander, of Pitgaveny, and improving the present
harbour of Lossiemouth, belonging to the Magistrates of
Elgin. It is estimated that a harbour of four acres, with
six and a half feet of depth at low water, and eighteen and
a half feet deep at high water of spring tides, could be
formed at Stotfield for 17,3891. 14s. 7d. ; of which Col.
Brander takes a 3,0001. share. The expense of improving
the entrance and increasing the depth of water in Lossie-
mouth harbour is calculated at 9,5921. 19s. 7d.
The Quotidienne French Paper has translated
an account of the affair between Mr. Macdonald and
Lady Wedderburne; and, to show how well the translator
was acquainted with London, he says, "The scene occurred
in Chesterfield-street, near the place where the fair of
May is held—May Fair." This reminds us of a mistake
of the celebrated geographer Melte Brun in the very same
journal of the Quotidienne. Giving an account of Hunt's
meeting at Spa-fields, he observed that the magistrates
had issued a proclamation to all housekeepers to prevent
workmen in their service from attending. "1. Mahe Brun
translated the term housekeeper, by " concierge," the
door porter of an hotel, or lodging house.
In a window in Warner-street, Coldbath-
'quare, appears the following curious announcement :
" Wanted, a dozen drunken turners ; half a dozen sober
ones will be preferred."

POISON 'ROM NEW HONEY.—A son of
nine and a daughter of six years, children of Samuel
York, of Farnington, died a few days ago, in consequence
of eating new honey. They lived about 36 hours. Honey
recently gathered by bees at a certain season of the year,
from the flowers of some poisonous plants, possesses their
deleterious qualities in a highly concentrated state. when
fresh, and may prove fatal if taken in large quistitities.-
-American Paper.

STAG HuNT.--Friday se'nr.ight some fine
sport was given to the hounds of Pennycrose and St. flu-
deaux by an old forest stag, started in Newnham Park,
Plympton St. Mary. There was a strong field, and after
a run of forty miles the animal returned to the neighbour-
hoed of the Park, where he was taken without anjury, and
will shortly afford another day's sport. The dogs kept
scent admirably, never breaking course, though, in the
day's run, foxes, hares, and rabbits, with which the estate
abounds, were frequently started.—Sherborne Journal.
If 20 or 90 cwt. of charcoal, in a state of
minute division, be put together in a heap and left un-
disturbed, spontaneous combustion generally ensues.—
In one case charcoal was loaded in Manchester, says
the writer of a paper in " The Repertory of Patent
Inventions," and conveyed by cart to a distance of
20 miles. No combustion appeared during the loading,
nor could the carter, though he carefully examined it,
perceive any indication of it, when, at eleven o'clock, he
left it for the night. At five o❑ the following morning,
however, he was called up to save his cart, which be
found on fire and nearly consumed.

When Lord Ferrers was carried to execution
at Tyburn, the procession was stopped by the crowd. The
Earl said be was dry, and wished for some wine and water.
The Sheriff said he was sorry to he obliged to refuse him ;
by late regulations they
were enjoined not to let prisoners
drink from the place of imprisonment to that of execution,
as great indecencies had been formerly committed by the
lower species of criminals getting drunk. " And thougb,"
slid be, my Lord, I might think myself excusable in over.
looking this order, out of regard to a person of your Lord-
ship's rank, yet there is another reason, which I am sure
will weigh with you : your Lordship is sensible of the
greatness of the crowd ; we must draw up to some tavern;
the confluence would be so great, that it would delay the
expedition which your Lordship seems so much to desire."
He replied, he was satisfied, adding, " Then I must be
content with this," and took some pigtail tobacco out of
his pocket.--iforace IValpole's Letters.

ti EAST AND WEST."—A witness in one of
the trials at our Circuit Court, on Thursday, in a case of
assault, described the offender as taking up the unfortunate
offendee and " throwing him east." This geographical
minuteness seemed to amuse the Judge; but the terms
east" and "west" are as common with the country
people in the Highlands, and are used in the same manner
as right and left are in the South. The most graphic and
ludicrous illustration we have heard of this peculiarity was
that of a Clergyman, in a sequestered parish, who, on
some person remarking to him that part of his dress was
unbuttoned, replied with great simplicity, " The servant
has been sewing
,on the button, and she has put it an inch
o'er far west --Inverness Courier.
