ing near the spot expecting The arrival of the King from
the Chateau7d'Eu, which, inlfact, took place a quarter of
an hour afterwards. The gendarmes of the neighbourity,
brigades were stationed on the road, and the noise made
by themselves and their horses was the cause of M. Go-
dard's apprehension. Sinister ideas were entertained as to
the intention of the coup de fusil, and the unfortunate and
timorous member of the National Guard was straightway
removed to the bureau of the Commissary of Police, at the
Batignolles, where he remained till the next day, when,
however, he succeded in explaining the whole affair.—Ga-
zette des Tribunauv.

The Revising Barristers for North Hants have, it
is said, disfranchised the whole fraternity of parish clerks.
PITT.—OId Parr, speakina of a speech of Pitt's,
said, " We threw our whole grammatical mind upon it, and
could not discover one error."

Last week the workmen began sinking a shaft at
Popham Beacon, between Winchester and Basingstoke, pre-
paratory to forming a tunnel on the Southampton railway.
Upwards of 50,000 sheep were penned at Lewes
Fair last week, of which not more than one-third found pur-
chasers, and those at reduced prices.

A serious accident happened to a man, by the name
of' Urry, on Saturday last, in Newwell's brewery, Cowes, his
arm being caught in the malt-mill and broken.
The country attorneys are said this year to find a
much more profitable resource in attending the Courts of
the Revising Barristers, than the various circuits have
afforded them.

Miles Coverdale, the first publisher of the entire
Bible in English, was buried under the communion table in
the parish church of St. Bartholomew-by-the-Exchange, as
appears by the register in that church. He was buried the
19th February, 1568.

The demand for land continues on the increase.

As the colliers were returning up from their work
at Muirkirk Engine Pit on Friday the 18th instant, one of
them, of the name of GilbCrt Nay, unfortunately lost his
balance, and fell out of the tub, a height of about 16 fathoms,
and was instantly killed.

A correspondent observes that one of the best
points whereon to erect that interesting object, Cleopatra's
Needle, would be the centre of Waterloo Bridge. It could
be then seen from the river, east and west, at a great dis-
tance, and from the principal streets leading from the north
and south, to the bridge, to great advantage.

It is the intention of the Reformers of Barnstaple
to invite Lord John Russell to a public dinner during his
stay at Endsleigh. Announcement will be made as soon as
the arrangements are completed. From the popularity of
the Noble Lord, and the Dumber of country gentlemen
now in the neighbourhood, we anticipate that the occasion
gill be one of the most interesting that has ever been
known here.—Devon Journal.

Twenty-three coasting vessels were windbound in
Aberdeen.Harbour, 23d inst., with a strong breeze, wind
S.S.E., fifteen were loaded with herrings, we believe, in-
tended for this market. The long continuance of wind
from S. W. has detained a number of vessels at. sea, bound
from Scotch ports to London, and has made that part of
the river where the Scotch vessels he, at the Hermitage,
almost deserted of shipping.

How TO MULTIPLY COURAGE.—A gentleman,
passing through a certain street, spied a little fellow busily
employed in inflicting rather heavy blows on his pate, just
behind the ear, with a brickbat. Being desirous of know-
ing what sin so young a child had committed, which re-
quired so extraordinary a penance, he asked the boy why
he was pounding his head so violently. " Oh, Sir," said
the lad earnestly, while the hi, tears chased each other
down his cheeks, " that great lii liSmith called me a liar
yesterday ; and I'm tryin' to raise the bump of combative-
ness, so as to give him a good licking to-morrow.
INCENDIARY FlRE.—About midnight on Monday
a large stack of wheat, supposed to contain about 75 load,
close to the barn on Mr. Ellis's farm at Newick, was dis-
covered to be on fire. There was fortunately a plentiful
supply of water, and the fire was discovered before it had
made much progress, or the destruction of property must
have been immense, the barn being of old wood and thatch
covered, and almost surrounded with stacks of grain, and
the wind blowing strong in that quarter. The exertions of
the labourers limited the ruin to the wheat stack. Mr. Ellis
effected an insurance only last week.—Brighton Guardian.
CHOLERA.—A correspondent at Nice, whose let-
ter bears date September 17, 1835, says :—" During the
three months we have had this disease, our cases have only
amounted, in a population of 35,000, including a circum-
ference of 30 miles, to 389 cases, and 223 aths. We
are now free from disease, and the people are beginning to
come to us over the Col de Tendre, from Turin. We are
expecting a full season ; and if the weather be as mild as
last year, (when every other part of the Continent suffered
from ice, cold we had none,) Nice will certainly rank high
as a mild climate."
If France did not happen to be the most flourish-
inc, state in Europe, it would not be owing to the inactivity
of legislators. From 1789 to the present day the total
number of laws enacted, and ordinances equivalent to them,
is 76,758 (not twenty of which have been formally repealed).
They are thus divided :—Under the Constituent Assem-
bly, 3,402 ; Legislative Assembly, 2,078 ; Nationalron-
vention, 14,034 ; Directory, 2,049 ; Consulate, 3,846 ;
Empire, 10,254 ; Louis XVIII. (first year of his reign),
841 ; Hundred Days and Provisional Government, 318 ;
Louis XVIII. (after the first year), 17,812 ; Charles X.,
15,801 ; Louis Philippe (up to September 20, 1835),
6,323. Average, 138 laws a month during the last forty-
six years.—French Paper.
STRANGE AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Mon-
day last Thomas Highland was engaged in dressing a stave
with a cooper's knife. One end of this stave was fastened
by bolts, that it might have sufficient resistance to the ope-
rations of the workman. A man named Lester, who was
employed in the same room, describes that he stepped to
the door for an instant, when he heard the deceased utter a
loud cry. He instantly turned round and discovered him
crouched down, with his hand pressed upon his stomach,
against which one end of the stave was also impressed.
Lester assisted him to sit down, when he informed him that
the stave had slipped out of the bolts and struck him on
the belly. Notwithstanding every care and attention the
unfortunate man died on Wednesday evening.—Liverpool

The village of Beckenham has been for some time
past, it seems, infested by a most lawless set of fellows, who
sometimes plunder the farmers of their corn, poultry, horses,
&c. Not long since they stole a horse and chaise from the
churchwarden. A tradesmen of the village said upon one
occasion that he had seen some of the gang near the spot,
and next morning he found that the mane and the ears of
one of his horses were completely clipped. They have, it
is stated taken up their residence in their present quarters
in consequence of the arrangements respecting the new
police, who, acting at Norwood and Penge-common on the
one side and Lewisham on the other, have driven them into
this retired and peaceful village, where there is neither
policeman, watchman, nor even parish constable to protect
the inhabitants.
The Echo of Poitiers gives the following account of
the disastrous effects of a water-spout, which a few days
ago traversed the estate of Monts, in the commune of
Ceaux, near Coolie :—" Immense trees were completely
uprooted, broken into pieces, and their trunkS carried 90
or 100 yards from the spot where they grew. All the
lesser branches were stripped from them, and whirled to a
distance of upwards of a league. Within the width of its
current, which was between 12 and 14 yards, nothing
could resist its violence. Twelve trees were carried away,
all the maize and potatoes were completely torn out of the
earth, the vines were levelled with the ground, and the
grapes crushed to a pulp, and finally an immense branch of
a sorb tree, whose wood is extremely hard and heavy, was
found 500 yards from the stem. At about half a league
from Monts, the water-spout carried some unusually large
chestnut trees from the plain on which they grew into the
meadows on the banks of the river Clain."

REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.—The men em-
ployed at the various roperies in Toxteth Park, in conse-
quence of some difference with their masters, turned out
about a fortnight since. On Wednesday afternoon the
younger partners of four houses in that business, having
come to the determination of making up themselves any
thing wanted immediately, went up to the walks and topped
a shroud of Gi inch and GO fathoms in about two hours,
amidst the shouts and hissings of the turn-out men. When
they found that the work was progressing rapidly, and that
' the masters, though little accustomed to such severe exer-
cise, evinced no symptoms of flagging, some stones were
thrown, but lucidly without doing any injury. Nothing of
the sort has occurred since the master carpenters repaired
the Duke of Lancaster, in No. 1, Graving Dock, in 1827,
themselves. The firms are J. Fletcher and Son, Robert
Marshall and Co., Hall and Roose, and Price, Henry, and
Co.—Liverpool Albion.
