MR. G. T. F. SMITH'S WEATHER PREDICTIONS
FOR NOVEMBER, 1858.—The interim of the Ist and 6th, a
turbid or foggy atmosphere, probably some rain accom-
panying. 6th to 9th a more genial temperature, with high
wind near the 11th. 12th to 14th rather mild for the sea-
son. Windy near 15th, from thence to the 18th dry, with
medium temperature. From 18th to 24th a prevalence of
cold dull weather and thick or turbid atmosphere (bluster-
ing or turbulent near the 22d), From 24th to 26th a
medium temperature. Freta 6th to 30th cold, wet, and
disagreeable; the month a gloomy one, probably snow in
some parts of the, kingdom.—G.. T. F. Smith, 12, Glouces-
ter-place, Cheltenham.
DRAUGHTS.—Two matches at this apparenlly
simple, but scientific game are to bo played, commencing
on the 21st of December next. The first match, for £lOO
a side is betwixt 111‘Kerrow of Glasgow, and martin
of
London. The seconkrnatch for £5O a side, is betwixt that
famed hero of the game, Drummond of Denny, and Hudson
of London. The preliminary instalments for these matches
having been deposited, there can be no doubt but that they
will come off; and, from the well-known skill of the compe-
titors, we anticipate that the event must create great excite-
ment among lovers of the game.—Glavato Daily Mail.
A MAN KILLED BY A DONKEY.—A strange
occurrence took place two days ago Gardanne (Benches-
du-Rhone). A farmer had been in the habit of ill-treating
a donkey, and on the day in question had beaten the poor
animal more brutishly than usual. The proverbial patience
of the long-eared animal appears to have been at length
exhausted,•and taking advantage of the moment when the
man had just taken off its harness, the donkey rushed
forward, knocked him down, and then began tearing him in
the most dreadful manner with its teeth, striking him also
with its forefeet. The man cried out for assistance, but be-
fore aid could arrive he was so dreadfully mangled that he
died in a few hours.—Galignani.
THE GREAT BRITAIN.—This celebrated screw
steamer, belonging to the Liverpool and Australian Naviga-
tion Company, eaves Liverpool for Australia on the 20th of
November. She is 3,500 tons register, and 500 horse-power,
and has made the passage to Melbourne in 61 days. These
facts place the Great Britain in an exalted position—even
equal to the overland mail route, particularly as far as first
class passengers are concerned. We find that many saloon
passengers patronise the overland route at a cost of about
£9O. The charge made by the Liverpool and Australian Com-
pany
is from £55 to 60 guineas, and the time occupied in thejourney has been as regular, if not more so, than the over-
land route ; so that the rates for passages. are proportionably.
lower; for in the ease of the emigrant it can be truly said,
f the Great
" time is money." Moreover, the departure
Britain, just now, is very opportune as we learn° the
.Penin-
sular and Oriental Company's steam' er Salsette, which has
just started, carries neither goods nor passengers.
