EDINBURGH DINNER TO EARL GREY.—The
Lord Provost and Sir James Gibson Craig left town yesterday
( Friday) morning for Howick Hall, to deliver an invitation,
signed by nearly 700 individuals, to Earl Grey to meet them
at a public dinner in this city in the course of this autumn, in
order that an opportunity may be afforded to this part of the
empire to testify in its capital the respect and admiration en-
tertained by the Scottish people for his public and private
character. The Lord Provost, on the part of the Magistrates
and Town Council is also to present at the same time the
address to Earl Grey on his retirement from office, agreeably
to the resolutions of their last meeting. The unprecedented
number of requisitionists, as well as of the Nobility and other
liberal and respected individuals in every part of Scotland who
have already expressed their anxious desire to be present on
this occasion, leaves no room to doubt that this entertainment
to the Noble Earl will be the most splendid that ever took
place in this city.—Caledonian Mercury.
ACCIDENT TO MR. ALEX. BARING.—On Tues-
day last as this gentleman was taking an airing in an open car-
riage in the neighbourhood of the Grange, the horse became
restive, and Mr. Baring, in jumping from the carriage, fell
with Filch violence on the ground as to break the small bone of
his leg, and seriously injure his ankle.
TUNBRIDGE WELLS, AUG. 23.--The races have
'terminated, many visitants of rank have left, but the arrivals
still continue numerous, and the fashionable season .will con-
tinue till October. Sir John Conroy and his numerous family
have taken up their residence in one of the houses in Calverly
Park. An apartment has, however, been assigned to the gal-
lant officer in Mount Pleasant House, for his use as secretary to
her Royal Highness. The Duchess of Kent and Princess
Victoria are almost in the daily habit of promenading the
Parade as early as 10 a.m., and making purchases, attended
by their suite. The Princess Victoria will shortly lay the
foundation stone of a new school, for the education of the poorer
classes. The recent fancy sale here, under their Royal High-
nesses' patronage, realized the sum of 3781. The Countess
Paricini Canelli, a daughter of the late Hon. Admiral Byron,
and a relative of the present Peer, died here on the 16th inst.
Laporte has already sent " letters missive " to
France, Italy, and Germany, in search of novelty fcr the en-
suing season of the Italian Opera. Pasta will actually be here,
and Grisi, and very probably Malibran. These consummate
artistes will perform at different periods, so as not to interfere
with each other. There is a whisper in Germany that the
once divine Sontag may, by possibility, return to the stage, and
that the King's Theatre will be selected by this delightful
" Queen of the Song " for her entree.

The Lessee of the two National Theatres still re-
mains in Paris. Bunn has already engaged all the prominent
native talent that exists, with the exception of Liston, whom
Madame Vestris has secured. Charles Kemble, Macready,
Wallack, Vandenhoff, and Mr. and Mrs. Wood, are, we un-
derstand, already engaged. The houses are expected to open
the first week in October, and much novelty is in preparation.
It is related of a Welsh author that, not satisfied
with the common vanity of his countrymen in tracing their
genealogies up to Adam, he actually wrote a description and
drew a map of Anglesea " as it was before the flood."

A gentleman on the borders of Hertfordshire has a
cucumber tree growing in his garden, the fruit from the vine
hanging down similar to grapes, some of whiCh measured 26
inches in length.

There were three persons reaping together on Stone-
hill Farm, Berks, this harvest---a man, his wife, and her
brother—whose united ages amounted to 238 years.
The remains of the poet Millevove, who was buried
on August 12, 1816, in the cemetry of Pere la Chaise, were
a few days since disinterred, and conveyed to Abbeville, his
native town, where the Municipal Council has erected a monu-
ment to his memory.—Paris Paper.
The American papers state that a new steam-boat
on the Burden principle is now building at Prescott, of such
immense dimensions, that it will require 15,0001b5. weight to
sink her one inch. She is an improvement in many particu-
lars on the present race of steamers. She is intended to over-
come*he difficulties of navigation on the St. Lawrence, and
a patent has been secured by her contriver. The wandering
piper is at Montreal.

The Danish Ambassador having complained to
King William of the liberties taken with his master by Lord
Molesworth, in his celebrated " Account of Denmark, hinted
that if one of his Danish Majesty's subjects had said as much
of the King of England, his master would, upon complaint,
have taken off the author's head. " That I cannot do," re-
joined the King, " but if you please I will tell him what you
say, and he shall put it in the next edition of his book."
VAUXHALL ÜBIQUITOUS.-Steam has caused a
mighty revolution in all mundane affairs, and in no instance is
this more strikingly exemplified than in the travels of Vaux-
hall. Strange as the fact may appear, the same illuminations,
the same entertainments, and the same performers are one night
at the Tivoli Gardens, in Margate, and the next in London.
Sometimes at the Sydney Gardens in Bath, and the ensuing
day in due course at Vauxhall. The rapid transmission of the
attractions of the metropolis has now been going on for some
weeks.

SUDDEN DEATH.—It is our painful dutr to record
the sudden and awful death of Mr. James Melland, son of
John Melland, Esq., of of Monyash, a young man who was
much respected by all who knew him. He had been visiting
on Wednesday evening the 13th instant Miss Smedley, of
Youlgreave, to whom he was shortly to have been married,
and had left her residence on horseback, to return home, about
ten o'clock at night, but before proceeding far he was seized
with apoplexy, and was the next morning discovered to be a
corpse.—Derbyshire Courier.

The Pilote du Calvados says that the apple trees
both in that and the adjoining departments already bend under
the weight of their fruit. The price of cider is consequently
considerably lower.

For upwards of twenty years the price of wheat has
not been so low as it was in our market on Friday last. The
finest samples fetched no more than 445. per quarter, and the
middling samples from 325. to 36s.—Stamford News.
On Saturday night a most tragical event took place
in the town of Dungiven. James Smith, a cooper, and a very
old man, happened to quarrel with his wife, whose previous
conduct, we believe, was far from being correct, she having
not long ago deserted him, and cohabited with another man ;
and in the heat of his passion he seized a hatchet and struck
her on the head, first with the sharp side and then with the
blunt side of the instrument, and was about to repeat his blows,
when he was prevented by persons who were present. The
blows which the unfortunate woman received proved fatal. A
coroner's inquest was held on her body, and the verdict was
" Wilful murder" against the husband. Yesterday (Monday)
he was lodged in the county gaol, where thrice in the course of
the day he attempted to destroy himself. He is evidently de-
ranged, and has accordingly been put into a straight-waistcoat.
