THE DUCHESS Olt KENT AND THE PRINCESS
VICTORIA.----Their Royal Highnes§es arrived on Saturday
morning at the seat of- the Earl of Harewood i and, as it
was generally understood that the Royal party would at-
tend Divine Service in the parish-church of Harewood on
the following day, there was a very large muster of vi-
siters on the occasion, embracing persons of various grades
and from various places within :distance of 15 miles round.
As the morning was very fine, their Royal Highnesses
walked from the mansion to the church, the Duchess of
Kent arm-in-arm with the Earl of Harewood, and the
Princess Victoria with Lady Georgiana Harcourt, followed
by the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, Viscount
and Viseountest Milton, Mr. 13. Portman and Lady E.
Portman, Mr. S. Lascelles, and Lady Caroline Lascelles,
Mr. Edwin Lascelles, and the Baroness Lehzen, &c. The
Archbishop of York preached an excellent sermon. The
attendance to witness their return from church was esti-
mated at about 10,000 persons. Their Royal Highnesses
left Harewood House for Wentworth House, the seat of
Earl Fitzwilliam, and were greeted in the several towns
through which they passed by the cheers of assembled thou-
sands. At Leeds there must have been 50,000 or 60,000
persons, and the front of the Royal Hotel was so much
crowded that the relays of horses could not be got out of
the yard, and the Royal cortege was obliged to proceed half
a mile further without changing. At Wakefield and Barns-
ley large crowds assembled, and at the latter place a tri-
umphal arch was erected.

House, and her Royal Highness's cypher, the whole richly
mounted in gold.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer's late visit to
Windsor is said to have been rather one of business than
of compliment, and to have related solely to the supply
of ways and means necessary for the completion of Buck-
ingham Palace.

The venerable Earl of Egremont, now in his 84th
year, took the field at Petworth on the Ist of Setpember,
and brought down four brace of partridges by an early
hour.

The Marquis of Lansdowne is expected to accom-
pany the Chancellor of the Exchequer to Mount Trench-
ard, the seat of the Right Hon. Gentleman, near Li-
merick, whence he will proceed to visit his estates in
Tipperary.
DUNGARVAN ELECTION.—The Right Hon. the
Attorney-General left town yesterday evening for Dun-
garvan, preparatory to the ensuing election for that town.
It is said he is to be opposed by the redoubted John Mat-
thew Galwey, but we believe the report unfounded.—lllorn-
ing .Register.

The shooting is of a most superior description over the exten-
sive preserves.

EASTBOURNE, SEPT. 26.—The Earl and Coun-
tess of Burlington leave Compton-place to-morrow for
Chatsworth, on a visit to their relative the Duke of Devon-
shire. Both the Earl and Countess are much pleased with
this retired spot, and it is hoped we shall soon witness their
return. His Lordship is said to have determined on
making some new plantations, which will give employment
to our surplus labourers, and no doubt assist in keeping
peace among them.

CHELTENHAM, SEPT. 16.—We continue very
lively here, and the arrivals are daily increasing. Amongst,
the latest are the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl of Fingal',
Earl and Countess of Glengall, Hon. Q. Berkeley, M.P.,

terday.

BOGNOR, SEPT. 14.—Our regatta, which took
place yesterday, chiefly owing to the spirited exertions of
the Honourable George Osborne, of Aldwicke Lodge, in the
neighbourhood, went off with great eclat. The races, both
of the rowing boats and of the sailing vessels, were ex-
tremely well contested, and afforded much amusement to
our visiters ; and it was so arranged in the distribution of
the prize-money, that none 'of the competitors were unre-

DEATH Or DE. BRINKLEY, BISHOP OF CLOYNE.
deep regret tve have to announce the death of this
most learned and excellent Prelate, which melancholy event
took place yesterday morning, at Mr, Litton's, Leeson-
street; where he had arrived about a fortnight since from
of health,
htladis Lordship,t though in a very declining state
dris.e'ff6..ee this long and fatiguing journey to
be present at the late ediikfertee of the Irish Bishops. His
earthly remains are, we learn, to let deposited to-morrow
morning in the vault of Trinity.,College, he heads of the
University being anxious to pay this tribute of respect to
the memory of a true friend of science and a firm supporter
of religion. According to the provisions of the Church
Temporalities Bill, Dr. Kyle, Bishop of Cork and Ross,
will be invested with the charge of Cloyne, in like manner
as the Bishop of Ossory, Dr. Fowler, took charge of
Perns and Leighlin ; and the temporalities of Cork and
Ross will go to the Ecclesiastical Fund.—Dublin Evening
Packet.

BELFAST DINNER TO 1414$ O'CONNELL.—On
ThUrgday evening a meeting of the frietide of Mr. O'Connell
was held in Kern's Hotel, to consider the propriety of in-
viting that distinguished person to a public dinner in Bel-
fast. After some gentlemen tuid a4dressed the assembly,
it wag unanimously resolved, amidst enthusiastic cheering,
that the invitation should be given. A subscription list was
immediately opened, and nearly two hundred persons signed
it on the spot—Dublin Register'.
_ .

William Newport, Esq., one of the recent Commis-
sioners of Public Instruction in Ireland, died suddenly last
week at the seat of his uncle, Sir J. Newport, Bart., New
Park, Waterford, in consequence of drinking, when heated
and thirsty, a quantity of milk, on his return from a shoot-
ing excursion. _ . _

CLUB INTELLIGEffeE.—A correspondent informs
us that the houses in Pall-mall, from No. 71. to 76 (south
side), are in the process of demolition, to make room for
the projected Unittersity Club House, which is to supersede
the present house in Pa East. The frontage of the
new edifice is ,to be 100 feet, aid the estimated cost of
building and furniture, including the present furniture, at
27,0001. The house is to be fit for the reception of the
members, whose number is to be increased from 700 to
1,000, by Christmas, 1830. The architect is Sir R.
Smirke, and it is said it will be a splendid edifice—
" though," as our correspondent remarks, " from Sir
Robert's ill success in sumo of the other recently erected
club houses, he did not expect a plan like this so superior
to what he had anticipated."

AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 15.—The Minister of the
Marine, considering that difficulties sometimes arise about
sending back to their own country seamen not natives of
Europe, who lu completed their engagements with the
Marine and have quitted the service, has determined that no
persons born out of Europe shall be here taken into his
Majesty's naval service, and that officers ormmanding his
jesty's ships of war, shall no longer engage such parsons ex-
cept in case of absolute necessity and when some va-
cancies in the crews of their vessels require to be filled up,
which must be clearly certified to this department by the
commanding officers if they should have been obliged to en-
gage such individuals.
It is intended to run diligences from Brighton to
London during the approaching winter.

Yesterday being the day appointed for the grand
dahlia show of the Metropolitan Society of Florists, it ac-
cordingly took place at the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall,
when the prizes were distributed in the presence of a large
and respectable company, who were assembled, partly to
witness the show, and partly to behold the ascent in a
balloon (the 208th time) of Mr. Green, and another
gentleman, which took place in good style, at a quarter
before six, p.m. The usual Vauxhall amusements then
succeeded.

Loss OF VOICE OCCASIONED BY OPPOSITION,
—Mr. Hallett, who has for 34 years acted as Chairman of
the Wilts and Berks Canal Company, has, by a public ad-
dress, resigned that office, having, as he alleges, lost his
voice while attending in London to oppose the Great Wes-
tern Railway. The Committee have voted their unanimous
thanks to Mr. Hallett, for his long and- valuable services,
begging him to accept " their cordial good wishes) for the
restoration of his voice."

BRIGHTON A ND LONDON RAILWAY.—The Com-
mittee appointed by the town on the subject of the line of
railroad which may be most advantageous to Brighton
from London, recommend that Mr. Stephenson's line
through to the western district of Sussex is the best, but
that Mr. Gibbs's line terminates at a more desirable spot
in London. In other words, they have come to the con-
clusion, that a line taking the more westerly direction, by
Horsham and Shoreham, will be more advantageous to
the town of Brighton than that proceeding in a more di-
rect line eastward.—Brighton Gazette.

Much interest was excited yesterday morning oppo-
site the Royal Exchange by the appearance of a first class
carriage of the London and Greenwich railway, on its way to
the works. The carriage will carry twenty-four persons, and
consists of three bodies, and is fitted up in a very elegant and
tasteful manner.

CIGARS.—The practice of smoking cigars in the
public streets to the great annoyance of the passengers, is
increasing, and even schoolboys have become smokers. So
long as two centuries ago the custom prevailed, and became
so great a nuisance, that in the year 1616 a Derbyshire
gentleman, named Peter Campbell, made his will, be-
queathing to his eldest son all his household goods towards
housekeeping, on the condition that if thereafter dor of his
brothers or sisters should find him smoking tobacco, that
he or she so finding him should become entitled to the said
goods or the full value of them in money.
A few days ago, a young gentleman from Edin-
burgh, who was out shooting at Lund with 11, Broadley,
Esq., of Hull, happened with a most dreadful accident.
From what we have been able to ascertain, it was caused
by his having got through a hedge, and aragging his gun
through after him, with the mmude pointed towardg his
shoulder ; when it. suddenly went el, and the greatef Vll't
of its contents were lodged in his arm. Surgeons were
immediately sent for, under whose superintendence the arm
was taken off from the socket.—Hull Observer.
ORANGE RIOTS.—In reference to the recent con-
victions arising out of the riots at Airdrie, where, it will
be recollected, an Orange mob committed some abomina-
able outrages on the persons and property of unoffending
Roman Catholics, the Greenock Advertiser justly remarks,
that " had the Irish judges denounced in the same indig-
nant terms, and punished with equal severity, the actors in
the party disputes which so frequently disgrace that country,
they would have been put a stop to long ere this. We
hope we shall hear no more of them in Scotland."
lIALLEY'S COMET.—On the morning of the Ist
of September, at about a quarter past three, Halley's
Comet was seen for the first time f'rom the Royal Observa-
tory of Turin. Its light was very faint, and its position
could with difficulty be fixed. Nothwithstanding, how-
ever, the slight uncertainty which may attach to the follow-
ing measurement, I can give it with much confidence in its
accuracy ;—Right ascension, 511. 50m. 10s. ; North decli-
nation, 24 deg. 50m. 50s. When this observation was
made the horary angle of the comet was 3h. 54m. 355., the
barometer stood at 27 inches, 2 lines, 5, and Reaumur's
thermometer at 1.5. dog. With these data the effect of the
refraction of the light from the observoo position may be

. %

calculated. On the night of the 23d of August, though
the sky was particularly clear, I essayed in vain to discover
the comet even with the aid of an acromatic telescope of
41 feet of focal distance, and 36 lines of aperture. On
that night the Comet's distance from the earth was sixty
millions of French leagues. On the night I descried it it
was 12 millions of leagues nearer. I viewed it under cir-
cumstances which qualified its light, so as to be hardly visi-
ble to my eye, to the disgrace of the renownld character of
Frauenhofer's telescope.—PL ANA, Royal Astronomer.

The public will regret to hear that S:r Benjamin
Brodie, the eminent surgeon, has met with an accident
lately in the Isle of Wight. While riding he was thrown
from his horse with such violence as to dislocate his sboul-
der-jaint. Some time elapsed before assistance could be
procured, but on Sir Benjamin's sending for Mr. John
.CizsNum, of Newport, the dislocation was soon successfully
redfiged, Mr. Bloxum, we believe, was formerly a pupil of
Sir Benjamin.
The repairs in Wesi.:2inster-hall cannot be completed

Term will not have the benefit Of a way to the courts
through the Hall gates. The tempoi..ary passages made
after the fire will continue during another term. All the
Courts arc undergoing necessary alterations and im-
provements.
CONSUMPTIVE TIGER.—That most fatal of all
diseases, consumption; is not confined to the human species.
In the Zoological Society Gardens it has been discovered in
the tiger, the Persian lynx, the gennet, the civet cat, the
ichneumon, the Nessal bear, the American tapir, the
elk, in various monkeys, the Esquimaux dog, and in the
lungs of the Python tigers. "In all these animals," says
Dr. Clark, " the morbid appearances presented, on exami.
nation, a close analogy to those observed in man."

A shocking case of death by hydrophobia took
place yesterday morning, about eleven o'clock, in Cannon-
street, Thames-street. The son of a Mr. Thompson, resid-
ing in that street, had been bitten by a favourite dog, which
afterwards ran away, and had not since been heard of.. On
Tueslay last, the family were alarmed by the violent
symptoms that appeared, and medical advice was instantly
resorted to, but ;without effect, as the poor little sufferer
expired about twelve o'clock I:: .the greatest agony.
On Saturday night seine in).:Preants entered the

There are in France 3,000 fire-engines, served b;
5.5,000 firemen, of whom 45,000 are armed and equipped.
Upwards of 15,000 communes may receive succour in case
of fire. in a very 'few hours. The sum provided by the
communal budgets for the expenses of these establishments
is 1,000,000 francs. In many places there is a great de-
ficiency, which is supplied by voluntary contributions. The
expenses of keeping the engines in repair, and supplying
the places of those which become worn out, are estimated
at 30,000 francs annually. To the above engines there
must be added a great many more belonging to large manu-
factories and other establishments.—Paris Advertiser.

THE NEW ORIENTAL ROMANCE.—We have
read Mr. St. John's " Tales of the Ramad'han " with great
delight. There is a freshness and vigour of imagination
about them which, together with the perfectly oriental cos-
tume and keeping throughout the work, brings vividly be-
fore us the gorgeous scenery of the " Arabian Nights' En-
tertainments," in which, though years and study have whit-
ened our locks, we still find as much pleasure as in the days
of our youth. Mr. St. John has been long known as a
writer, but no book from his pen has really shown the ex-
tent of his powers so much as the tales before us.—Court
Magazine,
EAGLE'S NEST.—Whilst a herd was tending his
sheep on the Pentland Hills a few days, he found in the
cavity of a rock a nest of that rare bird the Golden Eagle.
The nest was composed of a few sticks rudely thrown to-
gether, without the least appearance of regularity. At
the time it was discovered, the eagles were absent ; but
they very soon made their appearance, screaming dread-
fully. Upon looking into the nest, there were found in it
two eaglets and an addled egg. The provisions for the
eaglets which were in the nest were two young rabbits,
part of a third, a partridge, and, strange to say, part of a
salmon. On the rock round about the nest there were a
great quantity of bones, feathers, &c.—Edinburgh Courant.
SKELETON OF A GIANT.—As some men, on the
grounds of Panmure, were lately Plearing away one of these
tumuli of cairns, so common in the parish of Parbride,
under a very thick stratum of moss, the work of ages, they
came to a large flat stone of an oblong share and of great-
thickness. The stone was carefully removed, when a va-
cuity was discovered, containing a complete skelann of the
human species, lying with the knees drawn up, and the
head bent to meet them, as if the place had been too awn
for the size of the body. Mr. Dove, an antiquarian and
naturalist of considerable abilities, fastened every part of
the exuvire together by means of brass wires, when it was
found that the celebrated_ personage, when alive, must have
measured, with every allowance, seven feet in stature. By
the appearance of the teeth, he had gone down to the home
of his fathers quite a young man, as they were, for the
most part, full and fast in the sockets. The thighbone is
of erwrinous dimensions, and spine such as to warrant great
strength, iii coml;ination with the gigantic height of the
individual.—Dunfiries Courier.
" THE OLDEN Tfmg.''..—ln a manuscript preserved

four loaves of bread a day are allowed for his Highness's

and if it's too big for a horse-load, a further allowance is
made to the Purveyor. Among the incidental payments
allowed herein, is a gift to each of the officers of the kitchen

g present. In one part of the manuscript there is an in-
junction for his Highness's servants not to steal any locks
or keys, tables, forms, cupboards, or other furniture out of
Noblemen or gentlemen's houses where he goes to visit.
TIIE IRON TRADE.—At a meeting of iron masters,
held last week in Birmingham, the price of malleable iron
was advanced.los. per ton. The price of metal has expe-
rienced no variation.
CURE FOR THE STING OF A WASP OR BEE.—A
discovery was accidentally made by a chemist in this city a
few days ago, tvhieli is likely to lead to most important re-
sults. He had been stung by a wasp in the'hand, and while
suffering extreme pain from this circumstance, had occasion,
in the course of his business, to put his hand into a jar of
potass, when the pain instantly left hint. Surprised at this
effect, he determined to try an experiment to furAer prove
the efficacy of the remedy, and accordingly, on the x:.'llow-
ing day, he caught a bee, which lie irritated till it stut.:,:r
him. He applied a drop of the liquor potaisw to the wound,
and the pain he had previously felt was instantly removed.
After this experiment, and, the previous discovery he had
made, he felt convinced that the poison introduced by the
sting of a wasp or bee is an acid which is neutralised by the
application of a powerful alkali, and he considers it not
improbable that the effects of the sting of serpents and other
reptiles may he counteracted by a similar application. Should
this prove to be the case, the discovery will, indeed, be a
valuable one—Durham Advertiser.

KALISCII, SEPT. 12.—The strict police regula-
tions that were established here for the time that the Em-
peror should be present, have been relaxed by his Majesty's
special command, and he went several times on foot ac-
camp,;.-ed only by one aide-de-camp to visit the new build-
ings and the creparations for the fetes in the
of town. In
for the abode his at;
the htithiei designeeust visitors, .
his Majesty ciaritiom €ili
.the arrangements in tLf,ir mi-
nutest details. The dEftehment of the guards from .st.
Petersburgh arrived here on the PA. These troops eau-
not find terms sufficiently to praise the hoTitable recep-
tion which they met with in the Prussian terntory on the
way from Dantzig to Thorn, and which made up for the
inconveniences of the preceding voyage. The Prussian
guards, consisting of 3,000 infantry, 3,000 cavalry, and 12
plecea of cannon, arrived yesterday in the camp on the
,other side of the frontier, seven wersts from this town.
The Prussian troops will remain on the other side of the
frontier till the 12th of this month. They will then come
for six days into the camp on this side, and take part in all
the grand reviews in the vicinity of Opatswek. After
their return over the frontier they will remain two days in
the Prussian camp, and then return to Berlin by way of
Ologau. A medal is in circulation here which has been
struck at Berlin in memory of the meeting, and happily
records this union of the troops of the two nations by the
representation of two, warriors fully armed, in the old Ger-
=mitt and northern costume.'

1 The
Doneaster, Wednesday Night.
settling for the St. Leger took place this morning at
the ROOl2Bl
gen,',-.1 and a most unsatisfactory one it turned 'out ; seve-
raloucti and all the betting men came off losers, some
of them beie'l ))it pretty hard. That so many should lose is
accounted foi- id tr;o or three ways. Some " would not have
the Queen" at all ; sozie had betted 4,5, and 6 to 1 against
her, and could not get .out; others were tempted by the
smallness of the odds to he,: more than their stakes against
her ; while a few had hacked Illu.lelig
at 3 to 1, and 13 and 14
to 1 against Hornsea, out of which tu'eY
could not get without
certain loss, however well they might have stood upon the
mare. With so many losers, therefore, tbs. settling was neces-
sarily bad. The winners were small in nutub;r. Mr Mostyn
and the other gentlemen immediately connected )vith the mare,
seldom put more than a poney or fifty on a raise, so tat
neither on this or the Oaks did they win much beyond the
stakes. Three or four of the ,south country gentlemen won
nearly all the money ; and the Lancashire speculators, of at
least a portion of them, " threw in" fiar moderate amounts.
Although so many were on the wrong side we heard of only
one bolter, a mushroom better, who sprung up within the last
few months; " came it rather strong," and is non est invents's.

NOVEL CIIASE.—A few days ago, a fine large hare
Was observed hopping about Duke-street in a state of great
bewilderment. One or two persons, obs&ving the in-
teresting stranger, commenced pursuit down Duke-street,
when poor puss betook herself to the Molendinar. Not re-
lishing the polluted waters of this classic stream, however,
she attempted to regain the 'open fields, but was interrupted
by a water lade, into which she skipped, and was swimming
along in gallant style, when one of the pursuers plunged in
and carried her off in triumph.—Scots Times.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

TN lien this country was afflicted, as Italy now is, by
that new and grievous scourge, the cholera, in both
cas.!s we watched its progress and effects with horror
wad dismay. Though happily exempt at present from
-this severe visitation, it is our lot to witness the march
of a moral pestilence, if not as extensive and devastat-
ing, yet quite as mischievous to all who come within
the range of its deadly malaria. Need we say that we
allude to O'Connell's progress through the country,
and to the pestilent effluvia which this man of mischief
every where spreads around him ? It is true we have
no serious alarm at any ultimate result—no fears but
that the constitutional mind of Englishmen is, on the
whole, proof against the art, the sophistry, thlgas-
conade, and audacious falsehood, which this itine-
rant beggar has the unblushing effrontery to utter ;
vet it is not less true, that there ig a certain
portion of the public mind but too readily in -
dined to imbibe the mischievous trash which such
men utter ; nor is it less true, that it is scarcely
possible to handle pitch without having the hands in
some degree defiled. Like an immoral stage repre-
sentation, this man's harangues are unfit for the eats
of decent people. As friends to peace and good order,
and enemies, therefore, to riot and disorder of every
kind, though we would not wish to see so mu-oh as a
rotten egg cast at the head of this common reviler, yet
we do hope that his progress will not pass without
some interruption, without some of t'ile people of the
towns which he pollutes by his r;resence, showing him
in intelligible terms that thP:y not only do not want
his company, but that is a nuisance and a pest.
Meetings declaratory, of a non-participation in the
views and sentinunits promulgated by the orator of the
pocket, are esKaitial for the honour of the places which
he selects f',)r his mischievous and inflammatory exhi-
• bitions, that the world may know that the sound and
. heali!ay part of the body still predominates over the
gangrenous proud flesh which the poisonous tongue of
the viper here and there inflames. We know that there
are those who prescribe the vulgar axiom of "give him
rope enough," and that there are others who consider
silent contempt as the most effectual and most mortify-
ing weapon such an assailant can be met with.
Though this carries with it much plausibility, 7t
when it is considered that there are a class Pf, gul-
lible persons with whom the grossest misrepresen-
tations and delusions pass for trutbr it is due to
the cause of truth, and to setting right the minds
of those who are thus readily 'lmposed upon, that
some counteraction should be offered to the dicta
of an impostor, who, it ':nust be admitted, pos-
sesses the mischievous knack of giving to his
falsehoods an air of plausibility and truth, by
which stronger mind`..; than those of mere uninquiring
followers may be feria away. On every account, there-
fore, it is desirrble that on this occasion the bane
should not be without the antidote ; and that the
honest, whi-:a we believe to be the overwhelming part
of society every where, should show itself in opposition
to the rancorous hatred which this man bears not only
to our institutions, civil and ecclesiastical, but to every
thing which bears the impress of England. Of this
there are ample proofs in a multitude of his past
speeches in Ireland ; and if he now conslescend to flat-
ter the public of England, it is only to inveigle them
the more readily within his toils. They must be the
very " joherheads," which the late Mi. Cobbett was
so fond of calling the common people, who, with these
truths brought to their recollection, can consent any
longer to toss up their taps in the train of so arrant an
impostor.—Morning Herald.
We regret to find, from a perusal of the Jamaica
papers, and of private letters, brought by the last
packet, that the 'accounts from that once flourishing
colony are anything but satisfactory. With every
disposition on the part of the masters to act up to the
spirit of the Emancipation Bill, and of the instruc-
tions sent out from the Colonial Office, it is clearly
evident that the inherent defects of the new system*
combined with the determination of the apprentices
only to perform as much labour as they in their idle-
ness and profligacy may think fit, are gradually and
perceptibly affecting the vast interests at stake in this
important branch of our commercial prosperity. There
al,so appears on the part of the Executive, acting, as
we presume, under the dictation of the prudent States-
man who is a sleeping partner in the present admi-
rably-constituted Whig Cabinet, an anxiety to thwart,
and throw obstacles in the way of, the practical
inen of business in the island. Legislation on
paper in the meridian of Downing-street may be a
very easy and profitable task ; but it requires some-
thing more than a plausible theory to alter long exist-
ing customs, and to remove the accumulated opinions
or prejudices of ages. In the utter recklessness of
party feeling, and in the blindness of senstiess inno-
vation, experiments are in constant proiress, which
bid fair to bring down ruin upon the rAready deterio-
rated property of the proprietors of West Indian es-
tates. It is really alarming to observe the rapid alie-
nation of kind feeling towards the mother country. The
time will not be far distant, 'if events proceed in the
same ratio as of late years, that another sway will be
sought for, under which Vile substantial advantages of
mercantile enterprise will_ not be sacrificed at the shrine
of a speculative philosriphy or diseased humanity. The
last advises are altog ether very gloomy, and merit es-
pecial notice.—Morning Post.
A paragraph 'is travelling the rounds of the Press,*
which should surely put the Lords on the qui vine. It
is headed dogs in Harness," and states that a man
at St. Albe,n's has succeeded in breaking four of those
proverbisdly intractable creatures, and that they run in
harness at a good pace, and with perfect docility. The
training is said only to have occupied six months. The
writer of the paragraph observes, " this proves that
pigs are not of such a doltish material as admits of no
Improvement." If this will not put the Lords on their
mettle we know not what can. When pigs are on
their improvement, it is surely time for Peers to look
ab'out them. " Obstinate as a pig," has hitherto been
a saying; but now that pigs have learnt docility, the
instance for perverseness must be the Peer, unless
their Lordships quickly reform. The pigs havegot the
start of them. No animal was so restive, so difficult
to move, as the pig ; except when astray, he was
essentially of the stationary party, stare in antirjuas
vial, to wallow in the old mire was his riaxim ;
but he is reformed—he has entered upou the race-
course of improvement—he has joined tne movement
party—he has become a beast of r! caught—he trots
along the road, one of a team, obedient to the will of
his driver. Will the Peers snow the pigs to get this
great start of them ? The 'pigtail was the badge of
the old school of politicians among their Lordships,
and it was symbolic of the perverseness, gluttony,
and above all, of the backwardness of the pig, for
it signified that of the most backward animal, the
most backward part, the tail, was the aptest token of the
habits and propensities of the wearers. The pig's tail is
now, however, on the move. Will the Peers be left
behind ? Will the Peers of England show themselves
less capable of improvement than the pigs? Shall it be
said that there is a nature more doltish and intractabk
than that of the hog ? We really think that a
reward should be voted to that man of S. Alban's,
who has discovered a method of makirvg swine ma-
nageable and straight-going beasts.
secret would
be excellently worth knowing;ar.a it might not be
amiss if certain Lords were to take private lesions of
him. Here, perhaps, is tb?, genius destined to reform
the House of Lords, `aria to show, in the words of
the paragraph we hr,ve quoted, that neither nor
reels are " of such a doltish material as admit:of no
Improvement." It may be said of the great master
hereafter, that, his 'prentice hand he tried on pigs, and

four times, he went into the Woolpack-yard, bad his swinish
rattle unharnessed and taken into a stable together, where they
were regaled with a troughfull of beans and wash. They re:
tuained about two hours whilst he dispatched his business as
usual at the market, when they were put to and driven home
again, multitudes cheering him. This man, it is said, has only
had these animals under training six months. A gentleman
