It is said to be in contemplation to include Hamp-
shire in the Home Circuit ; and should the arrangement be
agreed on, the Western Circuit will probably commence in
future entirely at Salisbury and Devizes.—Hants Advertiser.
The family of Colonel Drummond, of Underdown,
were alarmed by finding the bed-room door of Martha Bell, the
housekeeper, locked, in the temporary absence of a person that
was entrusted to attend upon her, as she had previously shown
symptoms of insanity for the last two or three days. The foot-
man was called, and broke open the doorwith the coal-hammer,
when upon entering the room, she was found upon her knees,
with her head leaning upon the bed and her throat cut, a razor
lying near her right hand in the blood. Medical assistance was
immediately sent for, but she died before any could arrive.
Upon examining the wound, it was found to be four inches long
and three deep, the left jugular vein and the carotid artery
being completely severed.,-Hereford Times.
The paragraph quoted from the New Monthly,
stating that the late Rev. Edward Irving acted in Ryder's
Company 24 years ago, and was then passionately devoted to
the stage, does not contain a tittle of truth. Mr. Irving was
master of the Mathematical Academy, Haddington, in 1811,
and in 1812 went to Kirkcaldy in a similar capacity. He
never was in Ryder's company, nor any other company. He
was not then, nor ever was passionately devoted to the stage.
We remember his going to Edinburgh to see Kean the first
time he came down, and having his coat torn in the strug-
gling to get in at the old pit door. Perhaps some mishearing
and misreporting of this simple fact may have led to the above
nonsensical story.--Greenock Advertiser.
CRUEL SPORT.---The trotting match from Haver-
fordwest to Carmarthen, a distance of 31 miles, reflects dis-
grace on all the parties concerned. One of the animals broke
down about a mile before she reached Carmarthen; and the
winner, a valuable mare, died, we understand, the morning
after the match was decided. We have no language in which
to express with sufficient force our abhorrence of the wanton
cruelty of riding to death so fine and useful a creature as the
horse, merely to gratify a sordid passion for gambling, or to
)i , A
feed t( t.ontemptilge pride of possessing an animal capable of
hat no man in his senses, and influenced by the
reeSNlilig.iif humanity, would think of exacting from it.—
