PATRIOTIC PICKPOCKETS.—The daring
conduct of the mob assembled on Friday evening at
the Crown and Anchor Tavern, where the meeting on
behalf of the Dorchester labourers took place, exceeds
all belief. Scarcely a single individual of anything
like resiiectability of appearance escaped their attacks ;
and it is stated that no less than one hundred com-
plaints of robberies have been made to the police.
Among the sufferers Sir S. Whalley lost a watch of
the value of sixty guineas and a purse containing forty
sovereigns.. It is also stated that Colonel Evans was
robbed.

TIIE RUSSIAN PEASANT AND lIIS
HORSE.—The Russian is scarcely ever seen to strike
the animal over which he has power ; his horse is sel-
dom propelled by any other influence than a few cheer-
ing and encouraging sounds, and if this increases not
his pace, he does not, heated with savage fury, dissect
the wretched beast with a scourge, beat out an eye, or
tear out his tongue. The Russian proverb is, " It
is not the horse, but the oats that carry you." As long
as the horse will eat, he feeds him ; and his appearance
generally honours the humanity of his master.

An anecdote has been communicated to us
respecting a red-breast, which deserves to be recorded
by such a naturalist as White, of Selborne. During
the mating season last year, a robin, encouraged,
doubtless, by the hospitality of the mistress of the
house to its tribe, made familiar entrance into Mrs.
Anderson's seed-shop, at Gainsborough, and built a
nest in an open drawer. In this domicile a family of
songsters attained full feather, and, with a view to
ascertain whether they would-preserve any recollection
of their birth-place, the tail of one of them was pretty
closely cropped before its departure for the fields and
hedge-rows. Some short time ago, the bird thus cur-
tailed revisited the scene of its nativity, and, to the
surprise of its old friends, built a nest in the self-same
drawer which its parent had tenanted. In that drawer
it was, within the last few days, sitting upon its eggs,
and so tame has it become, that it not only seems per-
fectly at ease while strangers enter and depart, but
accepts, very readily, the crumbs offered it by the
children, and shows its acknowledgments of the en-
dearing name of " Bobby," which they have bestowed
upon it, by discarding all signs of alarm or reserve at
their Lapproaches. In fact, it appears to be, in every
particular, " quite at home," in the family drawer.—

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAVOR.

In the past week the arrivals of Wheat and Flour were
moderate, and of Oats inconsiderable. There was an in-
dication of Oats being dearer, but other grain remained as
on the preceding Wednesday. This morning there was a
small fresh supply of most kinds of grain, and a tolerably
good attendance of buyers. Fine Wheat sold readily at
last quotations, and other sorts maintain the terms of last.
Monday, with a slow sale, for such samples as are
tender. Barley, for malting, is unvaried, but grind-
ing parcels are Is. per quarter dearer. Beans have
obtained rather more money than of late ; Pease also a
little dearer. The quantity of Oats now for sale being
limited, the factors have been enabled to obtain a further
advance of Is. per quarter on the terms of this day se'n-
night, and not many are left on hand unsold. The Flour
trade is rather more free than of late at former prices.
