DESTRUCTION OF NOCTON HALL,

A very destructive fire broke out at Nocton Hall about

down nearly the whole of the mansion belonging to the
Earl Ripon there ; it is not correctly ascertained how the
fire originated, but as4fome workmen had been doing
plumbers' work on the roof of, the Hall the day before, it
is supposed to have been occasioned by the embers of a fire
used for the purpose of melting lead as most probable, as
the fire began in the upper part of the mansion, and spread
with such great rapidity as to cause the roof to fall in, and
prevent but very little furniture, &c., being saved.

PEDESTRIANISM
R. Coates, the man who once walked 1,250 miles in 1,000 hours,
started yesterday afternoon in Brown's Grounds, Brighton, to walk
forward one mile, run a mile, wheel a barrow a mile, walk backward
half a mile, run a pair of coach-wheels half a mile, draw a one horse
gig half a mile, hop 100 yards, jump over 20 common hurdles, each
five yards apart, pick up 50 stones one yard apart in a straight line,
and put each singly into a basket ; all which he was to accomplish
in an hoar. This extraordinary feat attracted to the ground a large
concourse of spectators. Notwithstanding the distance was upwards
of six miles, the pedestrian accomplished the feat within six minutes
of the time allotted to him. He was, however, very much fatigued.
He intends to undertake a similar task next Tuesday.

When Bonaparte landed at Antibes, M. Marron
said, " The Ogre is landed." When he reached Grenoble,
M. Marron exclaimed, " The rascal Bonaparte is at Grenoble."
When he advanced to Lyons, M. Marron cried, " Napoleon is
at Lyons." When he approached Paris, M. Marron shouted,
" His Majesty the Emperor is come." So the letter of Louis
Philippe to the Bishops in 1831,'calls upon them to celebrate
"the three immortal days of July,"—that of 1832, " the great
days of July,"—that of 1833, " the memorable days of July,"
—that of 1834 drops all laudatory phraseology, and merely
recommends the commemoration of " the days of July."—

The dramatic authors and composers of Germany
are forming a society, at the head of which are Messrs. Spon-

A most heart-rending scene took place at Ballina-
curra, near Midleton, on Wednesday morning last. A fine
young lad, of 14 years of age, son of George Swayne, Esq.,
went to bathe within view of his father, who sat at a window,
having a fit of the gout. After a little time the parent saw
the child struggling in the water, and drifting out with the
tide, which so alarmed him that, getting all pain, he ran to
his assistance, but on arriving at the spot he became horror..
struck at discovering that his beloved and only boy had already
disappeared. In an agony of grief he dashed into the water,
without the least prospect of being useful, for it was with con-
siderable difficulty he was rescued from sharing a similar fate.
In a short time some gentlemen were attracted by the melan-
choly occurrence, and they went in to recover the body, which
they effected after an hour's exertion.--Cork Herald.
A soldier of the 37th regiment, in garrison in Paris,

he carefully packed up, and then walked
into the river until he lost his footing, •
and sunk to rise no

his presence would occasion expense, and also telling him not
to write home, as the expense of postage would be too groat.
