BARBARITY.—We regret to state that a very mali
chats outrage was committed on the evening of last Moaday, or
morning of Tuesday, by some person or persons, on six fine young
calves, the property of W. Mitchell, Esq., Alloa. The calves, which
were grazing in a park near Allea, and said to have been intended
for the cattle show, were all found, on the morning of Tuesday, to
have their tails cut off with a knife almost close to the top. The bar-
barous act has excited universal indignation among all classes in
Alloa. A large reward has been offered for the discovery of the per-
petraters.—Stiriing Journal.
DEATH OF THE MARQUISE D'HARCOURT.—We
stated the day before yesterday that the venerable Marquise D'Har-
court lay dangerously ill at St. Leonard's-place, in consequence of
having taken a large quantity (two ounces it is said) of laudanum,
in mistake for a draught sent to her by her medical attendant, Mr.
Brown, of Windsor, and we have now to announce the melancholy
fact that notwithstanding all the active exertions made to counteract
the poison, and the strong hopes entertained for some hours that
those exertions would be successful, her Ladyship expired yesterday
shortly after seven o'clock. In consequence of this lamentable
catastrophe, it has been deemed expedient that an inquest should be
held on the remains, and information of the circumstances has
been transmitted to the county coroner, who resides at
Reading.—We have received the following froni
another cor-
respondent. We regret to state, that intelligence was Thursday
received at the French Embassy, and at the Hon. Col.
