A report was very prevalent in Westminster Hall
yesterday that Mr. Justice Vaughan had resigned his seat
on the 'bench. of the Court of Common Pleas. Though we
believe there is no truth in the report at present, the gen-
tlemen .of the. long robe were not long in naming two or
thr,:e gentlemen, one of whom is a single gown, as the
Learned Judge's successor. To the last inquiry after the
Learned Judge's health, we are happy to state much more
favourable answers have been reeeived.
Mr. O'CONNELL.—Extract of a private letter from
Mr. O'Connell :—" I would thank you again to contradict a
paragraph' which is running the round of the 'newspapers,
stating that I am here enjoying- on these mountains the
sport of coursing. I hate coursing. I detest gray-hounds.
I can scarcely tolerate any man fond of them. My delight
you know—is hare hunting with my. beagles. The hares are
strollg and numerous, and I hunt every day with nine
couple and a half of the first and best beagles in the world.
To hear them animatinc, one of our deep and sequestered
glens with ten thousand echoes is a rapture
,beyond the reach
of polities."

A curious expose of the • Paving Board Commis-
sioners is likely to take place, to the effect, that not having
complied with 'the Act of Parliament, which obliges them
to take a new oath of ofii3e, on the accession of a new
King, they are disqualified as Commissioners of Paving.
The required oath, it appears, was not taken on the acces-
sion of his present Majesty, William IV., and -the acts of
the Paving Board are suPposed, in consequence, to Le null
and void.—Dublin Evening Post.
At one of the monthly Temperance Meet'ings, held
during last week in our city, the Rector of a country parish
Stated, in the town of Charleville, a person-who has within
some months past been addicted to spirit drinking, came
into his house at
.eleven o'clock at night, and finding his son
(a boy about 12- years-of age) supplying his (the father's)
place at the cbandling work, he seized the youth, and
plunged him into the boiling liquid! The boy now lies in
a most deplorable state, and it is still a doubt whether he
will recover. On the relating of this act of inhuman
cruelty a thrill of horror ran through the meeting.—Curti
Herald.

FROM ,•A .CORRESPO,NpENT...- HA.RTLEPOOL.
DOCKS AND RAlLwAY.—Hartlepool' has for some months
shown itself distinctly to be a harbour superior to any other
in the north for the dispatch of business in the coal trade,
being accessible in any weather to ships of the largest di-
mensions in that trade, and progressively capable of any
improvement by the aid of its powerful Sluices, whilst th. 9
bars of our northern harbours, and their exposed situations,

preclude the passage of ships to and from the sea in tem-
pestuous weather. The railway is now made sufficient to
permit the commodious delivery of coals from 'Thornley
Colliery, and will in a very short time be open also to two
more collieries which are preparing to use it, besides the
certainty of Lord. Howden's and Mr. Burdon's'coal being
immediately brought •into the market. It does not, how-
ever, follow that tl:e general proprietary .should be pre-
vented • from the advantage of other collieries using the
harbour and railway, when an additional line of railway of
a few miles to the west from the \Vingatc branch might
open a communication to the. coal-field near the Aucklands,
at a moderate expense, which would very materially shorten
their approach to the sea, and avoid the difficult navigation
of the Tees.. To the notice of the proprietors of the
Hartlepool Docks and Railway, and of the coal•field in
and about the Aucklands, these observations are 'addressed,
and parties interested may apply at the Hartlepool
way-office, where the plans and estimates of, the proposed
branch will shortly be lodged.—Durham Chronicle, Nov.
6, 1835.

Two OLD COCKS.—Lord Stowell, the Fatker of
the House of Peers, completed his 91st year on Tl4trsday
the 09th ult.—His brother, the Earl of Eldon, travelled a

long journey to dine with him, -being himself 86. What a
vista to look back upon, has been the life of each of theic
sons of a Newcastle coal-shed-keeper! Each tutor of his
College at Oxford—each the first lawyer in the world in
their respective walks—each, by merit and long service, a
Peer of the Realm—and each living under William IV., to
meet and talk together of what they saw and did nuclei'
George 11.

PUBLIC DINNER.—Last Tuesday the Tories at
Cork gave their County Member, Mr. Longfield, a dinner.
Upon this occasion a reverend gentleman, but too well
known in Ireland—Mr. Beresford, dealt forth damnation,
in the coarsest and most violent terms, against all those
whose creed, in government and religion, was not in accor-
dance with his own. The only excuse we can conceive for
the use of language so discreditable is, that it was uttered
after dinner.

• IRELAND.—III relation to the state of this Part of
the United Kingdom, the Dublin Evening Post justly re-
marks that " the system of inventing, or grossly exaggerate
ing outrages in most parts of Ireland has long existed, and
has heretofore been found a most profitable occupation by
those engaged in this singular native manufacture, which,
we believe, was never practised—certainly not any such ex-
tent—in any other country in the world."—Llt would be
curious and instructive to sec detailed the process of this
sort of mendacious manufacture. The fabrication of out-
rages is a trade of which the Tories haVe long enjoyed the
monopoly in Ireland.]
REDUCTION OF THE DUTY ON PAPER.---I
have been informed, on good authority, that Ministers have
come to the determination of proposing. early next session,
a considerable reduction of the duty on paper ; and that it
is not their intention, for the present at least, to meddle
with the stamp duty on newspapers. By the way, penal-
ties to the amount of 2001. have been recently awarded by
the Dublin Police Magistrates against the proprietors of a
defunct morning journal, called Stewart's Despatch, for
printing on unstampcd paper. The Proprietors of this con-
cern lost a considerable sum by their speculation ; but the
difficulty of purchasing stamps formed but a very inconsi-
derable item in the accumulation of embarrassments which
led to the death of their journal.—Times Dublin Corres-
pondent.

WIIO KILLED COC7: ROBIN ?—There is a story

going the circle of Nottingham, of a circumstance which
took place in the parish church of St. Mary, a few. weeks
ago, which, if true, and I have no doubt of it, does hut
little honour to the Vicar. It is said, that a certain robin
took a fancy to the religion of the Church, and was there-
fore in pretty regular attendance there on the Sundays—
that at the late anniversary for the General Hospital and
Asylum, poor robin was there also, and while Miss Hopkins
was singing some beautiful anthem, the feathered worshipper
flew across the church, and perched at the top of the organ,
and there he began to swell his little throat to the harmo-
nious voice_of the singer, much to the admiration and grati-
fication of every beholder (except one, and that one the
Vicar,) who gave instructions to the sexton to shoot it ;
but, as if Providence disapproved of the deed, the charge
from the gun missed poor robin, and broke several large
panes of glass in the house of Mr. Robinson. We are
sorry to hear the bird was killed afterwards.—Nottinghrm
Review.

During the prevalence of the late easterly gales, the
officers and men employed in the Preventive Service in this
neighbourhood have been kept in a state of unusual acti-
vity, under the apprehension that persons less interested in
biz. Majesty's revenue than themselves might appropriate to
their own use certain kegs of gin and brandy which from
time to time washed on shore. It is supposed some
smugglerS being unable to effect a landing of their illegal
cargo, sunk it in deep water, and that the tempestuous
weather has detached a portion from the lashings. Several
casks have been received at the Custom-house from the
Yarmouth, Caister, and Winterton stations, and placed in
safe custody. Many barrels of porter have also been Se-
curedlong, in the vicinity of the above- places, part of the cargo
of a vessel lost a short time since bound to Lowestofte---

THE BAYEA UX TAPESTRY.—This highly curious
relic:, representing the Norman Conquest in lOW, which is
is supposed to have been wrought soon after
the bottle
by the Maids of Honour of the
Conqueror's Queen. Besides the historical occurrences
commemorated in it, there are on the borders of it a great
variety of figures ; many at them are grotesque, but
.one
set of figures represents ploughing, sowing, and harrowing.
The plough is not in shape very different. from those in
use at present, the share, coulter, &c., being very similar ;
it has, however, ,two small wheels in front, and the person
driving is sitting between them, while another man holds
the stilts of the plough in the usual manner. The seeds-
man is represented with a bus dependent from his neck,
and the harrow is of a square form : it consists of four
strcng, bars of wood, and has three other bars going across
it, there being a set of tines and spikes attached to each
Of the cross-bars. The horse that draws the harrow is.
harnessed with a collar and traces, and a strap over the
back, as is the mule by which the plough is drawn, and
each has a halter or bridle. It seems clear also that the
fair workers of this tapestry must have been acquainted
with iEsop's Fables, as in one part of the border a stork
is represented with its -bead down the • throat of a fox,
While in another a crow is to be seen dropping a piece 'of.
cheese down to another wily fox, who professes to admire
her voice. A very exec st.lies or coloured plates •of
this tapestry has been published, hy the Society of Anti-
quaries..
