The Lord Mayor elect (Mr. Alderman Carter) has
appointed as his chaplain for the year of his mayoralty,
the Rev. Henry Christmas, M.A., of St. John's College,
Cambridge.
A Shields vessel named the Edgar left the Tyne a
month ago, for Hamburg, and has not since been heard of.
It is feared she sunk in a gale which in common with other
vessels she encountered in the North Sea. Ten persons
were on board, and, in all probability, perished with her.—
Newcastle Chronicle.

PHEASANTS IN FRANCE.—The Court of Fontain-
bleau has just decided that the French law against selling
game out of season does not apply to pheasants (and con-
sequently not to any other kind of game) brought up tame
like poultry. It defines the word game (gibier) as com-
prehending, both in an etymological and legal sense, only
creatures taken in the chase. Consequently it acquitted the

who for the last twenty years had been in the habit of rear-
ing pheasants in her poultry yard. This decision has a
certain gastronomic interest. The restaurateurs of Paris
would, however, do well not to presume too much upon it,
for we apprehend that in practice the onus probandi will be
put upon them.
THE OLD WESTMINSTER MEMORIAL.—On Visit-
ing Mr. Wright's Polished Granite Works in John-street
we observed a most beautiful shaft of red Peterhead gra-
nite, intended for the Westminster Column, about to be
erected near Westminster Abbey, to the memory of Lord
Raglan, and the other "Old Westminsters ' who fell in
the Crimea. We learn from Mr. Wright that the column
is to be surmounted by a figure of St. George and the
Dragon, sculptured by Mr. Clayton. Below in niches are
to be placed the figures of Henry 111., Edward 1., Queen
Elizabeth, and Queen Victoria. This part of the monu-
ment is to be of Portland stone. The total height of the
column is 62 feet. The height of the base is 14 feet 3
inches, and its width 10 feet.—Aberdeen Herald.

TOADSTOOLS VERSUS MUSHLOOMS. Among
things not generally known to the British public is the fact
that there are several funguses, besides the common mush-
room, which are good to oat. With this fact, however, some
other public are familiar enough, as the Russians for in-
stance, and the public of Rome and other parts of Italy. In
the Papal states, indeed, British ideas on the subject of
funguses rre reversed. Here the received belief is that the
common mushroom is the only one of the family which
is not poisonous. Thdre, whilst numerous varieties of
what the call toadstools are consumed by the population,
the common mushroom is accounted so unwholesometoth_aat
