POACHING EXTRAORDINARY.—For seve-
ral years it has been observed that at the ldke on the Close-
burn estate, afavourite hauntof wild ducks, the ducklings
diminished so much that several parents were left without
any. The loss was of course attributed to poachers,
though none were ever detected. On Friday week a
fisherman on the lake landed a large pike, and on opening
him a well-grown duckling was found in his maw, which
at once accounted for the havoc made amongst the fea-
thered inhabitants of the lake, and acquitted the villagers,
on whom some suspicion had alighted.--Dumfries Courier.
Some tracts in the province of Murcia, in
Spain, are at this moment suffering from a destructive
insect called Paulina, a white fly with black stripes.
They come in swarms that sometimes darken the sun, and
alight on the fields of wheat, Indian corn, and rye only,
where they remain twenty-four hours, and deposit a
matter that changes the grain into a paste similar to
starch ; and it is said that bread made from the corn
would prove mortal. The peasants collect these insects in
bags with great care: they are then destroyed, after
which the corn fields are set on fire, to prevent the inha-
bitants using the dangerous produce.
THE NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF
" SAYINGS AND DOINGS," &c.—" We know no writer
who sketches his own times with the vivacity and talent
of Mr. HOOK; he is the HORACE of novelists, saving that
the novelist has a deeper vein of feeling than the poet : he
takes a light, and yet profound, view of human nature,
la vue d'oiseau and la vue de poisson also ; and if his moral
anatomy lay bare some of the meaner springs of that com-
plicated machine, the human mind, we are compelled to
admit the accuracy with which their wellings are investi-
gated. His caricatures are worthy of CRUICKSHANK ; and
the odd characters which he loves to preserve are best
described by saying that they are as inimitable in his pages
as FARREN'S quaint and comic delineations are on the
stage. The Parson's Daughter' is much in the style of
his exquisite story of Cousin William,' combining strong
interest with humorous portraiture."— Literary Gazette.
FATE OF THE POLISH REFUGEES WHO
HAVE RETURNED TO POLAND.—The Prince Governor of
Warsaw has issued the following proclamation to the
inhabitants :—" People, who two years ago disturbed the
tranquillity of you, the peaceable inhabitants, and drew
you into the disasters and burdens of au insurrection and
war, not having been able to find an asylum in foreign
countries, have returned hither; they threaten the tran-
quillity you enjoy, and endeavour to excite new confusion
in the country; 80 such persons have already pene-
trated into the province of Lublin, 20 of them have
been taken, and three of them punished with death ;
the 17 others are still on their trial ; in the vicinity of
Kalisch 15 armed criminals, and in that of Plock 27,
have appeared. When they are pursued by the troops,
they hide themselves in the forests in the ordinary costume
of the country. Adequate measures have been taken to
seize them, as you already know, but as in order to escape
pursuit they disguise themselves as peasants, in such cases
all assistance given by you will contribute to their more
speedy arrest. Every inhabitant who arrests an armed
criminal, and delivers him to the superior authorities,
shall receive a reward of 800 florins, which will be paid
him on the spot by the Commissioner of the districts, or
the of of the gensdarmes."—St. Petersburgh Paper.
A CHILDLESS PARISH.—It was stated by
the Cverseers of Wikton, at the examination respecting
the county rate, that there was not a child in the whole
parish, which consists of 600 acres. It was gravely re-
maiked, that as the squire of the place was a bachelor,
many persons bad followed his example. MALTHUS must
be delighted with this intelligence.--Halifax Guardian,

Alexander Clarke—Had a house within the Rules of
the King's Bench, in June, 1830 ; defendant lodged in
his house eight or nine months; plaintiff came there se-
veral ti'aes ; sometimes he staid half an hour, sometimes
two hours; he was sometimes alone with the defendant;
he asked witness whether it would not be better to com-
promise with some of the defendant's creditors who were
most likely to oppose her ? witness said, "he thought
they should be all treated alike, and that if plaintiff had
any demand, he should not forget to include himself in
the schedule ;" defendant answered, "as to that, he should
do as he thought proper ;" knew plaintiff was an attorney,
and that defendant's schedule was prepared by him, or by
his instructions.

Cross-examined—Witness was in a Goverment Office in
the Horse Guards twenty-five years; was superannuated on a
a pension of 30!. ; RA 50/. a yerr for his house in the
rules ; is not a rolling stone ; teas been discharged him-
self under the Act ; paid his creditors about 15s. in the
pound ; cannot swear he piid 10s. in the pound ; paid
more than ss. in the pound ; knows a Mr. Anderson ;
he paid for defendant's lodgings—four rooms, two bed-
rooms ; he slept there generally ; they took their meals
together; understood Mr. Anderson and defendant were
man and wife, or he would not have taken them in;
defendant was called Mrs. Anderson ; she was called
Miss Bartolozzi by persons who called.

Reexamined—The defendant is called Mrs. Anderson
now.

rue Jury returned a verdict for the defendant.
STANDEGE AND ANOTHER V. CRIGHTON.

This was an action against the defendant, Captain
Crighton, as the drawer of a bill for 1001 , accepted by
Lady Hyde Parker. The question was, whether or not
there was a fraud in the transaction. For the plaintiff wit-
nesses were called, who proved the hand-writing of the
defendant. The bill was endorsed by a person of the name
of Gompertz, and then by Sloman, a Sheriff's officer, of
Chancery-lane. Evidence was also given of the presenta-
tion and dishonour.—The Jury found for the defendant.

ARCHES' COURT, JUNE 15.

SWIFT V. SWIFT, OR. KELLY.

This was a question as to the validity of a marriage, said
to have taken place between the parties, at Rome, ou the
25th of March, 1830, the circumstances of which we
have already given.

The cmeh;d been argued on two previous days by Dr.
Phillirnore, who appeared in support of the validity of
the marriage. The King's Advocate was now heard in
favour of the lady, who denies that the marriage ever took
place. The argument is expected to last for two days more.
