During the division respecting Gateshead,
last night, and while strangers were excluded, there was a vast
deal of laughter and cheering in the House. The cause of it
was Lord Nugent. His Lordship, just previous to the divi-
sion, was busily engaged in conversation with some Member
in the Opposition camp. Not noticing the progress of the divi.
sion, his Lordship quietly kept his seat and continued his con-
versation ; nor was he aroused from his agreeable chat till he
found himself being counted as one of the opponents of the
question! His Lordship wanted to retreat—but it was too
late. Too glad to have caught a Lord—and a Lord of the
Treasury into the bargain---" voting against Ministers," he
was compelled to remain, as the counting had commenced ;
—and it was added that his Lordship was actually counted as
one voting against " Gateshead" and the Ministers ! Though
rather chagrined, his Lordship's good-nature, which is so well
known, made him join heartily in the laugh.
A fashionable Baronet, of gastronomic fame,
being somewhat harrassed the other night at the Garrick by the
incessant fire of puns and repartees kept up around him, sud-
denly exclaimed to the indefatigable wits, " Pray, my dear fel-
lows, be quiet tor half an hour. I vow to GOD I hardly know
what I'm eating."

According to Prince Puckler- Aluskau,
Goethe is of opinion that he could have easily produced " such
things "as the \Vaverley Novels. Why did he never try ?
A MATTER OF COURSE.--Upon Mr. F.
Lamb's arrival at Vienna, he will be invested immediately with
the Order of the Golden Fleece.

PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.—The An-
nual Meeting of this useful Institution was held yesterday at the
London Tavern, Bishopsgate.street, which was numerously at-
tended. Mr. Alderman Winchester, the Treasurer, was sup-
ported by V. Figgins, Esq., and R. Taylor, Esq., Trustees.
Two additional Pensioners (Dillon and Yarworth) were elected,
making the entire number now benefited by this society 50.
An interesting report was made by the Committee on the general
state of the Society's affairs, and an urgent appeal made to the
subscribers to endeavour to extend the sphere of the Society's
use, as there were yet many aged and worthy individuals ex-
pecting relief from the funds. This Society has not escaped the
effect of the general depression of the present times, yet it is
gratifying to find that the interest felt in its prosperity is undi-
minished. We strongly recommend the Society to the consi-
deration of all patrons of literature, as well as to all literary men
in the country, as well deserving their support.
INHOSPITABLE HOSPITALITY.—The King
of Naples, in a conversation with Sir Walter Scott on the won-
ders of the Herculaneum, very condescendingly told him that
he would order " any excavation in the earth" which his visitor
might desire to have made. When we remember that the poet
was looking for health instead of a grave in Naples, we may
imagine the effect of the King's hospitable offer.
On Thursday evening a public dinner was
given in Dublin, by upwards of 100 gentlemen, to Count Jo-
seph Napoleon Czapski, as a testimony of their disapproval of
the recent prosecution instituted against him by the Irish Go-
vernment, and to manifest their respect for the heroism and pa-
triotism displayed by the nation to which the gallant stranger
belonged, in their late unsuccessful struggle with Russia.—

HUNTING
STOPPED BY PEASANTS.—It ap•
pear that in several parts of England the peasants have de-
termined to put a stop to hunting, at least to the trespass of
hounds, for they are said to have surrounded the cover on hunt.
ing days, and refused to let the fox out; the tenant thus as-
serting his right to prevent trespass from being committed on
the land he occupies.

A rat weighing 31b. soz. was caught in a gin
on Sunday last, on the premises of Richard Gore, labourer,
near this town. A young pig, full its own weight, was lying
by it, which to all appearance had been killed but a short time.

A CLINCHER.—An American Paper says
this is the method of catching tigers in India :—A man carries a
board, on which a human figure is painted; as soon as he arrives
at the den he knocks behind the board with a hammer; the
noise suddenly rouses the tiger, when he flies in a direct line at
the board and grasps it; and the man behind it clinches his claws
into the wood, and so secures him.

A PoETICAL BARBER.—The following
choice morsel was exhited, a few weeks ago, over the shop door
of a worthy tonsor, at Todraorden :

SHAVING DEPOTT.
To all who has air or beards to crop
I recommends my shavin shop
Cheape hand luxyurious does trim
The roughest beards of any chinn
Cuts the hare on the newest plan
And charges littler than any man.
MELANCHOLY DEATH OF LIEUTENANT
Hastnv, R.N.—On the morning of Thursday last, as a boy
named Woolcock was gathering limpets in a small solitary
creek about two miles east of Portreath, Cornwall, he espied the
leg of a human body protruding from a large crevice in one of
the rocks. Alarmed at the discovery, he was afraid to ap-
proach the spot, but gave information to some cottagers who
lived near, and who, on hastening to the place, found it was the
body of a man, but so firmly fixed in the crevice by an accu-
mulation of sand and stones, that they had considerable difficulty
in disengaging it. On bringing the corpse to the top of the cliff,
it appeared from its apparel to be that of some respectable in-
dividual, but it was extremely difficult to guess the cause of its
being found in such a place. The head also being covered with
blood, indicated that the deceased had approached the cliff from
the land. The body was then taken to the inn at Portreath,
but no one Gould be found to recognize it. Nothing but a few
pence was found in the pockets, and the only clue to the iden-
tity of the body was the initials It. H. marked on its clothes.
A Coroner's inquest was held on Saturday morning. Verdict—
" Found dead." Nothing, however, appeared to clear up the
mystery until intelligence was received that Lieut. Hambly, of
the Coast Guard station at Mousehole, had been several days
absent from his family, and was known to be in a state of mind
which warranted the most alarming apprehensions for his safety.
Some of the boatmen, who had been in search of him, came to
Portreath, aad identified the body to be that of the unfortunate
officer. It appears that several years ago he was wounded in his
head while on service in the West Indies, from the effects of
which he never completely recovered, and had returned from
an asylum but eight weeks before the melancholy catastrophe
oc; writ —Cornubian.

CURIOUS WAGER.—On Sunday morning
last a number of persons assembled near the Gun Tavern, Old
Kent Road, to witness the result of the following wager :—A
cobbler in the neighbourhood betted a trifling wager that he
would walk one mile in ten minutes, with his lapstone about
his neck. At the time appointed he appeared on the ground
with the lapstone at his back, wrapped up in a pocket hand-
kerchief, which, being tied round the throat, offered no trifling
impediment to his otherwise arduous undertaking. He set off
at a winning pace, but, owing to the slipperiness of the road,
did not finish the distance until one minute above the time
specified.

EXPLOSION AT BILSTON.—A Coroner's
inquest was to have been held on Friday on the bodies of five of
the sufferers from this dreadful explosion—of six or eight of
those still surviving but little hope is entertained as to their
recovery. The following is a list of the persons who have re-
ceived injuries :—Dead—Abraham Worrall and his daughter,
Sarah Burton, Thomas Tennant (13 years of age), and Mary
Flavell (11 years of age). Badly scalded and bruised—Char-
