GENERAL T0M711133111, being upon the eve of quitting
England, has been anxious to mark his departure by a grace-
ful act of gratitude to Mr. W. Batty, the proprietor of
Astley's Amphitheatre. On the little general's arrival in
England be was desirous of. having an equipage of pro-
rOrtions suitable to his own Lilliputian dimensions. There
was no difficulty about the carriage—very little trouble in
obtaining boys competent to driving the vehicle; but there
was a grand obstacle in the ponies. Cinderella's fairy was
not at h, n't to manufacture them from lizards—nor could an
importatit n from Pegu be accomplished in sufficient time.
In this dilemma Mr. Batty stepped forward and kindly sup-
plied the general with a pair of beautiful little animals from
hl3 own magnificent stud, which the public have for months
had opportunities of admiring; the general, recognizing that
mark of attention, by pr,lienting Mr. Batty with a pair of
charming white ponies, which lie has lately been using, and
we conclude they will often be seen upon that stage where
we are accustomed to look for rare specimens of the equine
race.

FOOLITARDINESS ilea, soon after starting with

covered a man riding on the engine-buffer, about the most smash-

Could have held his post till he arrived at the station, unobserved by
the engine-driver, it was quite possible that in pulling up he might
have been squeezed against the next carriage, and killed on the spot.
Mr. Rea immediately blew the guard's whistle, the breaks were ap-
plied, and the train stopped ; but it required vigorous effo"..ts to dis-
place the gentlem in, who stuck like a director to premium, and could
only be displaced by main force.—SherborneJourratl.
Yesterday, a communication was received at the
metropolitan and city police stations, that Sergeant John William
Newett, of her Majesty's 38th Regiment of Foot, had deserted, and
taken with him a large amount of money belonging to the public
Service, entrusted to him for paying various bills.
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JUNE 12.—We have a

attended, and as the quantity of fresh wheat offering was extremely
