what extensive premises dedicated to the sole sale of dog.
kennels, cat-boxes, and pigeon-holes.

Sir John Soane has received a most gratifying testi-
mony of respect from the Societe Libre des Beaux Arts at
Paris. The Committee of Architects in this country have
received from that society an impression of their honorary
medal, inscribed with the name of the Venerable Professor,
and have, in consequence, waited upon Sir John Soane, and
presented it to him, as well as a very flattering letter signed
by the President, Vice-Presidents, and other officers of the
Societe Libre des Beaux Arts.

A short time ago a female swineherd at St. Epyre,
near Valtemont, in the Moselle, aged 16, having the straw
covering she had made for her head blown off by the wind
and carried into the middle of the drove, she ventured
amongst them in order to recover it, when the hogs set upon
her, and in a few minutes tore her to pieces and devoured
her. Her mother, who was with her, attempted to save
her, but would have experienced the same fate had she not
escaped and concealed herself in the rushes in the river
Scille.

A bookseller at Orleans purchased, a few years ago,
at a sale at Brussels, a copy of the edition of Cicero's
works, published in 1555, by Ch. Estienne. The margins
arc enriched with more than 4,000 corrections in the hand-
writing of Estienne, and another literary man, who signs
his notes John, probably John Scapula. It appears that it
was intended to publish a new edition, most likely that
which Ch. Estienne mentions in his " Castigationes in quam-
plurimos locos Ciceronis." This, however, has never been
published. It is said that the Orleans bookseller will not
sell it for less than 1,900 fr., though it cost him only 20fr.

Curttous ACCIDENT.--On Monday last, owing
to a fissure in the gas-pipes, a quantity of gas escaped into
the cellar-kitchen of a house at Reuben Terrace, Little
London. A person in the house perceiving a strange smell,
went down into the cellar to see what was the matter,
taking a candle in his hand. No sooner had he entered
the place than the gas ignited with a tremendous explo-
sion, tearing up the flagging of the cellar by its violence.
Fortunately, the individual escaped with a few bruises,
although his situation was in the highest degree perilous.

THE MILLBUIE MURDER.—The execution of
John Adam, the unfortunate person condemned at our late
Circuit Court, for the murder of Jane Brechin, on the
Millbuie, Ross-shire, took place last Friday. Adam still
continued to assert his innocence, though he was aware, be
says, that nobody believed bim. His conduct had been
decorous and respectful, and he expressed himself to be sin-
cerely repentant for his sins. He spoke of the murder, and
its accompanying circumstances, with the utmost coolness
and indifference.—lnverness Courier.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OP FREDERIC HA N-
NAM, Ese.—This young gentleman, who resided at Allan
Court, in the isle of Thanet, was the son of Geo. Hannam,
Esq., of Bramstone House, near Margate, a highly respec-
ted county magistrate. It appears that Mr. Hannam
quitted Allan Court on Wednesday evening last, on a visit
to a friend at Margate. At an early hour in the morning
his horse was perceived at the entrance gate of Allan
Court by one of his servants, who led it to the stable, arid
apprised Mr. Hannam, sen., of the circumstance. Mr. H.
immediately despatched persons in every direction in search
of his son, but notwithstanding the most active exertions,
no trace of him could be discovered, and it was not until
more than seventeen hours had elapsed that he was found
extended full length in a chalk-pit, close by Wash Court,
On examining the body there appeared several bruises on
it ; one thigh was broken, and the neck dislocated. It could
not be ascertained whether in his descent he fell over the
horse's head, and received the injury which caused his death,
or whether the animal fell upon him. It is certain that the
horse, though uninjured, was precipitated into the awful
chasm, the appearances of chalk on his knees, and various
parts of the body, clearly indicating that fact. A coroner's
Jury sat on the body, and returned a verdict of Accidental
Death.
