HAPPY JERRY.

As many of our readers may have made an ac-
quaintance with the mandril called " Happy Jerry,"
exhibited at Exeter 'Change and the King's Mews,
and, we believe, afterwards consigned to the Surrey
Zoological Gardens, they will probably find the fol-
lowing extracts, detailing his habits and propensities,
entertaining :—" He would have done anything for
gin and water, and the love of drink became so
strong that he would have made any sacrifice. Per-
haps some theorists will adduce this common vice as
an argument for the common nature of men and
monkeys. We have heard of another animal of this
kind, possessed of a curious propensity, which might
serve as an additional proof towards the same end;
he was kept at large by dgentleman, who kept also
a pack of harriers, and to enjoy either the noise or
the sport would travel to an eminence whenever
the hounds threw off. This love for field sports had,
however, nearly proved tatal. The hounds one day
got upon Jerry's trail on his return home, and he
was only saved by a tree occurring opportunely.
Superior intelligence was, on this occasion, so far
displayed that Jerry never afterwards enjoyed hare
hunting. He is described to have been docile to
his keepers, but easily exasperated by strangers;
and among other accomplishments had been taught
to drink, sling, and smoke tobacco. In the first
he delighted; but I rather think the latter was
not such a favourite, a.nd a bribe of gin and water
was generally promised before its performance. His
cage was furnished with a small but strong arm
chair, into which, when ordered, he would seat him-
self with great gravity, and await further orders.
Ail his manoeuvres were performed with great slow-
ness and composure. His keeper having lighted the
pipe, presented it to him; he inspected it minutely,
sometimes feeling it with his finger, as if to know if
lighted, before inserting it in his mouth. It was
then introduced almost up to the bowl, but with that
part generally down wards,and it was retained without
any appearance of smoke for some minutes, during
which time the an completely filled his cheek-
pouches and capacious mouth, and would then
exhale a volume, filing his cage from mouth, nose,
and sometimes even the ears. He generally finished
with gin and water, which was handed to him in a
goblet; this he grasped in one hand, and was not
long in discussing. He was possessed of enormous
strength. Two men could with difficulty withdraw
the end of a rope he one day seized, though they
were assisted by the resistance of their feet upon the
base of his cage. lie was fed chiefly on vegetables,
and preferred them cooked; but when he visited
Windsor, where he was exhibited to his late Ma-
jesty, he is said to have dined upon hashed venison
with no Ordinary degree of avidity."—The Natu-
ralises Library.

By the Nassau Royal Gazette, it appears
that the Holt. Patrick Brown, and the Hon. an i Rev.
William Hepworth, have, by authority of his Majesty,
been restored to their seats and rank in the Council of the
13ahamiis, from which they were suspended by the late
Governor, Sir James Carmichael Smyth.
It would seem, from some of the Paris letters,
that the Duchess of B±rry, notwithstanding the lesson
she has received lately in France, has meditated the
renewal of her politic il manoeuvres, and that she had
fixed upon the duchy of Modena as her head-quartets
for purpose. The Duke of Modena, however,
has e
days' sail of his dominions, upon which he requested
received
ve d a
hint that Toulon is within a few
the Duchess to proceed on her journey. Even
in Austria, as we collect from the same accounts, the
presence of the Carlists appears to be far from acceptable,
as the Emperor, to avoid giving umbrage to France, has
notified to M. de Chateaubriand that he cannot be allowed
to play his pranks there any longer, and be has, in con-
sequence, refused to grant passports to several Carlists
who were about starting on a
pilgrimage to Prague to
celebrate the birthday of the Duke of Bordeaux.

TOWER HAMLETS (BOROUGH) REGIS.
TRATION, SEPT. 25.

1 (Before G. L. RUSSELL and E. CHAPMAN, Esqrs.)
The revising barristers of this borough concluded their
labours this morning. Their whole duty consists in re-
ceiving the lists and making such alterations as accidental
errors had rendered necessary. The officer, of whole
conduct they had yesterday complained, produced his list
this morning, and assured the revising barristers that he
deeply regretted that a mistake about the borough and
the county lists should have made him omit to deliver the
former in proper time. The following we understand to
he a correct account of the number of voters now upon the
lists of the borough :

MELROSE ABBEY.

On the Bth instant Si; David Erskine, of Dry-
burgh, persuaded the persons residing at Melrose
Abbey to try close to the foundation of the clois-,
ters whether there were not inscriptions. ON
digging down about ten inches, they came to a line
of stone coffins, on which were several swords and
crosses engraved, but two more remarkable than the
rest, a husband and wife lying from east to west ;
on the husband's coffin on the right were the hilt
and guard of a sword elegantly sculptured, but the
blade went under the foundation of the Abbey. On
the wife's was a small cross, denoting a Christian
of the early ages, and the following inscription
"-f- Beatrix, spouse of Robert Fraser." The rest
of the inscription was bid under the foundation.
Melrose Abbey was originally erected of wood at
Old Melrose (Meul Ross, a bare promontary), not
a vestige of which remains save the foundation, on
which the present house belonging to Lockhart
Elliot, Esq., stands; it was a second time erectea
at Red Abbey Stead, near Newstead, from which
the village takes its name; and lastly, it was con-
structed where the present magnificent ruin is still
to be seen at Little Fordell (or the dell of the ford).
It is probable that these stone coffins have been re-
moved from the Abbey yard at Red Abbey Stead,antl
placed under the foundation of the new Abbey. If
this be the case the coffins must be of very great an-
tiquity, as that Abbey was founded by David I. in
1136, and the mark of the small cross before
Beatrix, on one of the coffins, denotes an early
Christian. That the other coffins must have held
persons of h'gh rank is denoted by swords and
crosses on their lids, on one of which we found hic
jacit inscribed; but this coffin was lying from south
to north, and the rest of the inscription was hid
under the foundation of the Abbey. This side of
the cloister runs from south to north. There was
a very ancient family of the name of Fraser in
Mackerstoun parish. There is also one family with
the very ancient Saxon Christian name of Wester,
in St. Beswell's parish ; but the family are cer-
tainly Norman, from their armorial bearing, three
strawberries ( freze, a strawberry ); but the stone coffin
rather denotes Saxons than Normans, as the Saxons
almost always buried in stone coffins; so those stone
coffins must be of very great antiquity indeed. St.
Moden, a priest and saint, converted the Saxons to
Christianity prior. to the year 522. He made apos-
tolical excursions as far as Dumbarton and Loch-
gerry ; he had a cell at Dryburgh, but repeatedly
went as far as Falkirk (the real name of which is
Wallkirk, the Highlanders almost invariably chang-
ing the F into a V or W), where St. Moden's name
is still venerated. The lettering on this very an-
cient Fraser monument are fine Roman characters,
only the E is made like CE dipi hong, and every '
line has a circle round it.—Kelso Chronicle.
