The tribunal of Antwerp, in its sittings yesterday,
condemned several persons who had engaged in the con-

on four charges to a fine of 1,200 francs.
We learn that Xing William has caused a protest to be
made against tke sale of his wines, not recognizing the

The Duke of Wellington hunted onThursday
*with the Vine hounds. They tlieir fox in Dean
Wood, ran him to Kernshot, where he was beaded back,
and, after a severe run over a fine coun-,-, was kPled in
the garden of Mr. Lefroy, West Ham House. Thc...

five minutes. After the Duke left Strathfieldsaye, an ex
press arrived from London fur him. The messenger found
him at. Dean Wood, the distance to which place, near
sixteen miles, was performed by the lad in fifty_three
rAbautes, on a three-year-old filly.—Berks Chronicle.

With feelings of deep regret we have to an-
mounce the sudden death of Colonel Littlejohn, which
occurred on Monday morning last, only a quarter of an
hour after he left his residence (St. Michael's Terrace,
Stoke), apparently in perfect health. On coming into
the town the deceased called at the shop of Mr. G. Hearle,
Lookseller, Fore-street, and after exchanging a few wards
about the weather, was in the act of raising his hand
towards his bead, when he staggered and fell into Mr.
Ilearle's arms, never to breathe again. It is presumed
that death was occasioned by the rupture of a blood vessel
in the brain, He held the rank of Colonel in the East
India Company's service, and had nearly attained his 72d
Yfar......Devonport Telegraph.

LARGE TURKEY.--During the present week
a turkey has been sent to a gentleman of Grantham,
weighing 17:11b. ; which has been acknowledged to be
one of the largest ever exhibited at Grantham.—Boston
Herald.

One of the most remarkable features in the
present extraordinary weather is the effect on the tide in
the Avon and the Severn. We are informed that, in
consequence of the swoollen state of those rivers, the flow
Of tide is not visible on the surface, but is carried on by
MfiLat the seamen call an " underground run," giving no
perceptible resistance to the current downwards. The
ebb. tide, however, added to the current, is at the asto-
nishing rate of between eight aad nine miles an hour.—
_Brittol Journal.

There is now in the possession of Mr. J.
Wright, of Gosleeby, near Horncastle, a wren's nest,
contaioing two new-laid eggs. It appears that a cat had
on the night of the Ist inst. succeeded in dragging from
the thatch of the house the nest, which contained five
eggs, three of which were broken by the fall, and two
were preserved by falling on the flowers below ; in all
probability four of the eggs were laid in the old year and
one on new-year's day. The poor little wren was seen the
following day busily engaged in carrying materials to the
same place, for the purpose of re:building her house.—
Boston Herald.

Owing to the late heavy rains, the trade be-
twen Lincoln, Nottingham, and Yorkshire has been
stopped for several days, the water being so high in the
Trent that no vessels could pass at Torksey Lock, but if
the weather should prove tine, the water will soon be off.
—Boston Herald.

The heavy rain on Tuesday and Wednesday
nights has caused a great flood along the river W m ith%
and as usual the High Bridge at Lincoln is too narrow
'
to bold the water, which rushes through the arch with
the force of a mill-race ; boats therefore cannot pass
upward, except by immense force applied to drag them
against the flood. It is not generally known that within
200 years past there were two arches of equal size, where
there is now only one. It is recorded that this
High Bridge consisted of eight arches altogether ; how
long it is since the others were disused is not known, but
in 1610 there was another arch similar to the one now in
existence ; and a slight inspection of the westward side of
the bridge will convince most persons that the two piers on
that side were the supporters of these arches, in one of
which, in fact, the house of Miss Rippon is erected. The
interior of the bridge shows evidently great decay to be
going on, and the time is not distant when some im-
provements will be required.—Boston Herald.
DESPERATE SUlClDE.—Yesterday a patient
died at the London Hospital from the effects of a wound
from his own hand. It appears that the deceased was for-
merly a cornet in the army, on his disciarge front which
be was allowed a pension of 901. per annum. On Tues-
day the 6th instaig, he received 221. 10s., and up to
the Sunday followlrg had not been sober ; on that day he
went into a public-house in Bedford-street and drank a glass
of spirits; the unhappy man then walked down the street,
and was reen to take a pistol from his pocket, and putting
the muzzle into his mouth ischarged it ; he fell and was
immediately picked op, when be exclaimed, " The Lord
receive my spirit r He was taken to the London Hospital,
where the ball was extracted, and every attention paid him.
His name was Emanuel Elkins, he was about 60 years of
age, and most respectably connected.
