" This is a great and important undertaking. Of the
Peers and the Baronets of Great Britain we have heard
and read ; but of the Commoners—of families equally ce-
lebrated in history—we remain in total ignorance. We
are Clad to find Mr. Burke employed in removing a na-
tional reproach. He has contrived to make his book not
only very useful, but highly interesting—many rare and
curious anecdotes having been introduced."—Globe.

FEVER.—Fever prevails to a considerable
extent in the western district of Gla.gow. We hear that
in one close at the Brownielaw at present,• there are ten
cases. Tl;e patients refund on Thuisday to be taken to
•he Hospital, but yesterday the Magistrates gave orders
that. the whole of the cases should be taken to the Fever
Hospital, and the houses where they occurred fumigated,
to which order the Superintendent of Police is promptly
attending.— Greenock Intelligencer.

On Monday an inquest was held before
Henry Sawyer, Esq., at the Greyhound-Inn, Enfie!el
Town, on the body of George Heath, who was found sidi•
pended by the neck in the Watchbouse of that ?own.
It appeared in evidence that the deceased had been appre.
Minded on Saturday last on suspicion of sheep stealing,
when he was taken before the magistrates, who remanded
him until 10 o'clock on Monday. He appeared very
touch dejected and very frequently shed tears. He was
up to this period an honest labouring man, and the scene
of his parting from his wife anti four children was heart-
rending in the extreme, and no doubt exists but distress
was the sole cause of his committing the robbery. Ou
Mend iy morning when the Beadle (who is the keeper o
the Watchhouse) went to take him his breakfast, he found
him hanging by a small whip-cord doubled, to the iron
Merical assistance soon arrived, but hie was extinct,
'f he Jury returned a verdict of Temporary lwarlity.
