Real del Monte Unregd

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester
and suite are expected to leave the White House, Rich-
mond, on Saturday, on a visit to the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Londonderry, at Wynyard Park.
DR. TURNBULL'S TANNING.--The new method is
to prepare a mixture of sugar and water and sawdust—
it may be of any other substance containing saccharine
matter, such as beetroot, potatoes, turnips, honey, &c.
The action of the sugar and pyroxalic, or wood-spirit,
is so rapid that the skins are rendered fit to receive and
imbibe the tannic acid immediately ; and thus the ope-
ration of tanning is perfectly accomplished in a very
short time. The leather thus produced is heavier and
of finer quality than any leather produced by the pre-
sent method of tanning. This method of removing the
lime is of immense importance, as it not only improves
the leather in weight and durability, but enables the
tanner to produce a superior article in a much less space
of time, and at a much less expense than heretofore.
The advantages of the new method appear to be, first,
a great additional weight of leather, especially in calf
shins ; second, leather of a much better quality, soft, and
not liable to crack or strain ; third, a considerable di-
minution in the expense ; and fourth, the tanning is
effected in one quarter of the time consumed by the pre.
sent mode of tanning.—Hall's Book of She Feet.
A WHALE IN BANGOR BAY.—For more than
ten days previous to the late stormy weather, a large
whale of about fifty or sixty feet long, and of propor-
tionate breadth, has been cruising about in the lough,
immediately off Bangor Bay, to which locality he had
mbeieng npirnoebavebry probably
direction,attracted p
by the herring fry, then swim-
f
seagulls of every description, some
by a
meganpnoewtse,rafnudl foarneeim-
mense body of puffin, and other divers, flocks of which
were dispersed in all directions, making unceasing as-
saults upon the different shoals of fry as they approached
the surface. Every three or four minutes the whale
would rise in the place where the birds were thickest,
with jaws wide-gaping, and, after making a satisfactory
gulp of several bushels, with, perchance, an odd bird or
so by way of a relish, would lazily throw up his broad
black back, and, giving a dash with his tail, disappear,
to repeat the same performance whenever his sagacity
enabled him to find out a similar quantity of little un-
fortunates to devour. He must have been at least four
times as large as the specimen taken at Cultra last year,
but no attempt was made to capture or molest him
during his sojourn, unless by an adventurous youth from
Belfast, who fired volleys of rifle balls into his back and
sides, without ruffling his equanimity in the least. A
harpoon (which is much more easily got than a whale)
was obtained, but as several boats had been nearly upset
by the animal in his excursions, no crew on the coast
could be persuaded to attack him. Perhaps they acted
wisely, but should he visit a Highland loch, on his re-
turn homewards, hemay possibly be stopped in transitu.
One of the cutters fired a 121 b. shot at him with no
effect, and preparations were being made by his " relent
less persecutors" for giving him a broadside of six guns,
loaded with pointed iron bolts in place of leaden bullets,
but the weather broke, and fry, birds, and he, all disap-
peared.—Northern Whig.
