MARCH OF ECONOMY.—A person residing in
Deal, who for some time had been troubled with a tooth'
ache, resolved to get rid of his tormentors by a wholesale
ejectment, and accordingly donsulted a surgeon, gravely en'
quiring the charge of extraction per dozen. The doctor
amused by the oddity of the question, treated the affair as $
joke, but observed that the charge for a single tooth would
be a shilling, but for taking out a dozen only ten shilling'
Aye, that will do, said our economist, you may proceed to
work, and take out a quarter of a dozen. The order fra°
accordingly executed, the half-crown paid, and the patl
departed, delighted in his turn with screwing the doctor!'

A Tarantula of formidable size was lately brougllC°
on shore from a ship in the Downs. It was discovered
a shell of the murex kind, in which it had taken up
abode during the voyage from Africa. The most striking
peculiarity is an egg, about the circumference of a shilling,
and apparently a quarter of an inch thick, which the o'er
ture firmly and tenaciously grasps by its legs. The Ignifr
man who brought it on shore was on the point of touch 4
it, but was prevented by the timely interposition of a gen;
tleman, who described the fatal effects which sometimes
result from its venomous bite. It is firmly secured under n
glass, and has been seen by a great number of the tallir
people.—Kent Herald.

On Thursday evening, as the cart conveying
Bath mail was proceeding along the Strand on its way Frei"
the General Post-office to the Glocester Coffee-house'
Piccadilly, the axletree accidentally broke when nearly or_
posite Somerset-house, and the guard was compelled to take
the bags in a hackney-coach the remainder of the distance;
by which the starting of the mail was retarded nearly 1181"
an hour. A similar accident befel the Exeter mailsorc
about ten doors lower down the Strand, only last wok
but we are happy to say that, on both occasions, neither

the guards nor drivers received any injury.
The Walsall church-rate has been postponed for
nine months, after a scrutiny, by a majority of three.
Eight of the Dundee whale fishing ships arrived on
Thursday. They have only 18 fish among them.---6/life

CONVENTS IN SWITZERLAND. The imulells6
wealth possessed by the greater number would, under
sent circumstances, offer an abundant resource to any LI 0
vernment. The irregular management of the Benedic6Por
Convent at Pfaffer has long since excited the attentiose
the Catholic Administrative Council of St. Gall. A (7°„t,
mission in 1834 proposed to name a curator to the Cal t,
Its debts amount to 100,000 florins, nevertheless its
penses still exceed its ordinary income. The suPPl'esl
of this house would be a benefit to those who occupy it' l'oe
to the country. The Convent of Rheinau is in the 58:1,
position ; its fortune is valued at a million of florins, Wblo
be
sum produces an interest of two per cent, only. Its 03,
administration has led to the appointment of visiting °et
missions from Zurich. Many voices have been raisbie
in favour of its suppression, and the measure will probe.;
be supported in the next Session of the Grand Council'
Swiss Paper.

SNOW.—The weather still continues more and 'alejx,
wintry, though we have had a few fine clear days this weer.
In the early part of the past week, the mountains
