HINT TO TEA-MAKERS. —Put a small
quantity of carbonate of soda into the. pot along with the
tea, and this, by softening the water, will accelerate the
infusion amazingly. Should the water be hard, it will
increase the strength of your tea at least one half,—Me-
chanics' Mrrgrszine.
KESWICK.—Last week, among other visitors
of distinction, this delightful place was honoured by the
presence of the Earl of STAMFORD and of General GAS.'
COIGNE, the former Member for Liverpool. They arrived
in the early part of the week, and left on Saturday morn-.
ink,. On Wednesday arrived the LORD CHANCELLOR and
the Right Hon. POSVLETT THOMPSON, Vice-President of
the Board of Trade. Lord BRI`UGHAM'S stay was ex-
tremely short, so as scarcely to allow any of the good
people of Keswick an opportunity of seeing hits.— White-
haven Herald.

On Saturday last an extraordinary scene was
exhibi!ed in Wisbech Market-place. Notice had been
given by hand-bill of the intended sale of four sheep,
which had been seized for tithes from Mr. BLAND, whose
offer of per acre, instead of 5.. Gil., for grass land, had
been rejected by the Vicar, the Rev. JOHN FARDCLL, son-
in-law of the Bishop of ELY. Toe novelty of the occur-
rence on this side of St. George's Channel drew a greet
number of persons to the spot, and no sooner were the
sheep put up by the auctioneer than a general bellowing or
bleating was set up by most of the spent dors. The
auctioneer persevered for a long time in offering the sheep,
but to no purpose—no one would bill a single farthing, and
he was at length obliged to retire, leaving the sheep in the
charge of a constable until the collector of tithes could de-
termine what was to be done with them. In the evening
they were returned to Mr, BLAND'S field, upon what con-
ditions our informant has not been able to 'earth—J/117V
Post.

MEMOIRS OF LAFAYETTE.---" The part
Which r-
-AFAYETTE took in the Revolution of 1789, hag
long been matter of public history ; but an accurate ac"
count of his connexion with that of 1830 was wanting,
and has been ably supplied by M. SARRANS. Tne long
life of LAFAYKTTE...-his services to the American Repub.,.
lic._.his open and dauntless opposition to arbitrary poixer---•
the consistency of his political principles—his high and
noble character in private life, and the confidence felt in
his integrity, not only by his own nation, but by every
disciple of freedom throughout the civilized world—render
him one of the most interesting characters of the present
times."—Athenaeum. (An English translation is about
to make its appearance).
WHALE KILLED IN THE SOLWAY.—On
Friday last, during the receding of the tide, which, as is
pretty generally known, ebbs and flows with remarkable
rapidity along the Solway sands, a large bottle-nosed whale
was observed, by a seaman of the name of &Ara, flours'
dering about in what is called the Carse-gut, within the
Carse Bay, in the parish of Kitkbean. Having armed
himself merely with a common salmon Hester, BLAIR he-
roically advanced to the assault alone and unassisted, an°,
having stolen quietly forward until he got within reach of
the monster—being then waist-deep in water—he struck
out at its head with all his force. The Hester, however,
rebounded harmlessly oil' the huge cranium—
.' It just play'd dirl on the bane
And did nae mair." •
Watching his opportunity, however, BLAIK succeeded, at
the next es,ay, in plunging his weapon into a softer parts
somewhere about the region of the jugular. The agony
of the animal w.s immediately evinced by the most tre.•
menticut plunging and snorting, and BLAIR finding it in
vain to attempt holding him with his slender weapon,
contrived to extricate it, and a second time struck him
almost in the same spot. Torrents of blood gushed out
at both the wounds, anti the monster soon became tl°
weak and stupilied, that instead of making towards the
sea, he ran the farther into shallow water. By this time
some of the inhabitants of the Carse, who had descried
the conflict, hurried to the scene of action, and as the
victim was now completely exhausted, loops of roPel.
were cast round his carcase, and he was soon high
and dry on the beach. He was found to measure no 104
than nineteen feet in len,g,h and eleven in girth, anti the
value of the blubber is estimated at 101. —no bad morn-
ing's work for a single pair of bands. We believe this
is the first instance on record of one individual engaginS
with success in single combat a nineteen-feet whale is
his native element, and after the fashion we have de-
scribed. Some of the " cannie" bodies of the Carse,
understand, who came in at the death and assisted to
" street: the corp," were for claiming a share of the pre'
seeds of the capture, but this BLAIx stoutly and most
righteously resisted, telling them that it was " his oio'
and nitric o' his swelters," but that he would certainly not
them " journeymen's wages," a decision in whicl"
grudge
after some demurring, they were constrained to acquiesce'
