The Duke of St. Albin's is making preparations for an
entertainment in falconry, and has his beautiful hawks
at present in Regency-square. They have been exhibited
for the gratification of the public, and have excited
much curious interest during the last two days. The
Grand Falconer is determined to keep up the characte-
ristic formula of this ancient inheritance with religious
strictness ; and certainly this dt mi-barbarous amusement
could never have had more attraction from the beauty and
variety of those innocent despoilers of their species, than is
presented by his Grace's little crown-coped murderers.

The Hon. Henry Spencer Law, a younger
brother to Lord Ellenborough, and to the Recorder of

trol, Captain Law officiated as private Secretary to his
Lordship. The gallant officer subsequently sold out of the
army to keep his terms in the Temple; and last Term he

linquished the sward and sash for the wig and gown.

At a general meeting of the subscribers to
Lloyd's, held on Wednesday last, the sum of 451. was
voted from the funds of that establishment to Mr. Sumner,
surgeon at Formby, Lancashire, as an acknowledgment of
his brave and humane conduct in swimming to a pilot
vessel belonging to Liverpool, which was driven on shore
during the violent gale on the 29th ult., and by his ex-
ertions succeeded in saving the lives of some of the pilots
who were on board. A further sum of 301. was voted to
several persons who rendered assistance to Mr. Sumner,
and the parties rescued by him, when they got near the
land, in a very exhausted state.

A traveller lately arrived from Moscow re-
lates as follows:—" When I wos preparing to quit the
city of the Kremlin, the nobles and great proprietors of
the southern provinces were arriving in crowds with their
sledges to pass the winter season, and give themselves up
to all the enjoyments of a town life. The scene was most
curious thus ro find Moscow so abundantly repeopled, for
in the course of a very few days the population was in
creased by upwards of 100,000 souls, and of this number
30,000 are employed in the service of the sledges. There
are but very few soldiers in Moscow or in the interior of
the country. The garrison of the town does not amount
to '7OO men, and yet the Moscow Gazette is very pugna-
cious and seems to take great delight in attacking Eng.
tan 1. The officers, the most wealthy of whom reside in
the city during the winter, talk of a crusade in the East,
of penetrating into Asia, and even into India, which they
conceive offers a glorious career to the youth of the em-
pire."—French Paper.

During the severe gale of the 25th ult., a
fisherman named Packley, and his two sons, were return-
ing from their arduous day's work, in a small coble, laden
with fish, when a heavy sea drove their little skiff against
the rocks, under the perpendicular cliff of Flamborough
Head, and dashed her to pieces. The unfortunate parent
and one of his sons perished on this melancholy occasion.
The survivint,* son was rescued from impending destruction
by the extraordinary exertions of a poor man named
Emerson, exhibiting how much may be done for the pre-
servation of human life by presence of mind, courage, and
humanity. The approach of the little skiff to the land,
as she skimmed the mountain wave like a sea bird, was
anxiously watched by the men of the coast guard station,
who saw how impossible it would be to render any assist-
ance by boats, owing to the tremendous surf which beat
against the rocks, The poor fisherman, finding he could
not reach the landingplace, lowered his sail, and endea-
voured to pull the coble along the land clear of the tide-,
They were thus exerting themselves when they were driven
against the rocks and dashed the cable to
pirces. The survi-
ving son succeeded ha getting on a ledge of a rock in a cavity
at the base of the cliff, to which he clung until Emerson
descended by a rope to his relief. Having secured the
perishing man to the cord by which he had been lowered,
he was battled up to the edge of the cliff, by the coast
guard man,
his limbs benumbed and his frame quite ex-
hausted. The rope was again lowered for Emerson, who
bad in his turn citing to the rock, the seas breaking against
him with relentless ft4,yo
be scarcely equal to the task of
. Thus situated, the poor fellow
became so exhausted as t
securing himself to the rope ! with much difficulty he ac-
complished it, and after being three-quarters of an hour
exposed to the fury of the elements, he was hauled up by
his companions on the cliff,
a height of 150 feet, quite
cold and feeble.
- e are happy to find that the Royal
We
Humane Society has liberally rewarded Emerson for his
courage and humanity,
