COCKNEY GRATITUDE.—At a party in Leith
lately, the conversation turned upon accidental drowning. A
gentleman present stated that he at one time narrowly escaped
drowning while bathing in the Thames, and would have
perished but for the intrepidity of a young man, who, at the
risk of his own life, saved his. " Then you must have felt
very grateful to that individual for his gallant act," said one of
the party. " Grateful !" replied the gentleman, " grateful to
him 1 why he was only a poor suck of a barber !"—Scotsman.

PROLIFIC DUCKS.—A cottager at Bastow, Stacey,
has a duck which has laid an egg on 165 successive days, and
one of its last year's brood has produced eighty eggs on as
many successive days.
THE COAL TRADE.—The amount of coal annually
consumed in this country is prodigious. Independently of all
that is conveyed from the inland coal districts by canal, and
independently of all that is consumed by the thousands of ma-
nufactories which are congregated in the neighbourhood of
our inland mines, no less than 5,822,561 tons were shipped
coastways in 1834, whilst 615,255 tons were exported in the
same year to foreign countries, principally to Holland, Guern-
sey and Jersey, America, the West Indies, France, Germany,
Denmark, Italy, and Portugal.
COLBURN'S MODERN NOVELISTS.—Mr. Horace
Smith's celebrated novel of " Brambletye House" graces the
June Number of the above new and cheap collection of the
best fictions of our living writers. The volume is y;aoeiiished
with two engravings by the Finds;,-,, one of which is an admir-
able likeness of the author, who gives, in anew preface, a most
amusing account of his destroying the first work he had pre-
sented to his publisher, and his substitution of the historical
romance of " Brambletyo House," which, it will be remem-
bered, so completely divided the public attention with Sir
Walter Scott's " Woodstock," both of which works appeared
about the same time,
