SAFFRON WALDEN, MARCH 1.--vuring
the last week, some labouring men employed in the service of
the Right Hon. Lord Braybrooke, digging gravel on his
Lordship's domain, near to the village of Audley End, situate
about one mile from this town, when at the depth of 15 feet
from the surface of the ground, discovered an enormous tooth,
supposed to be a tusk of the Behemoth, in form much curved,
and measuring six feet seven inches in length, and about six-
teen inches round at the base, decreasing towards the point to
the size of a man's wrist; and as the labourers pursued their work
to the distance of only five feet, they found another tusk, nearly
of similar shape and dimensions. Much trouble and art have
been exercised to obtain and preserve entire these curious relics
of the antediluvian world, but it is found that the action of
atmospheric air upon these substances (which must have been
deposited in the earth upwards of four thousand years)
will, to
all appearance, produce speedy decomposition; many pieces
of large bones, which no doubt belonged to the same animal,
were also dug up, most of which crumbled on being removed.
This wonder
in the animal creation is mentioned in Holy Writ,
Job. xl. 15; and also that learned French divine, M. Bouchart,
in his " Hieroxoicon," London, folio, 1675, finely describes
the pondrous form, &c. of this mighty quadruped.—C

LONDON AND SOUTHWARK MID-

WIFERY INs'TITUTION.

The Fourth Anniversary of this invaluable Institution was
celebrated yesterday at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street,
Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER in the Chair.
Among the numerous charities that distinguish this country,
probably there is none so laudable (certainly no one more so)
in its objects, so truly meriting the support of the benevolent,
or possessing more powerful claims to the exercise of the kind
feelings of every husband and wife in the better walks of society,
the influence of the Press, and public generosity, than the" Lon-
don and Southwark Midwifery Institution." Observing, about
six years ago, the great necessity there was for an Institution
of this nature, on an extensive and liberal scale, in the City,
its suburbs, and extending into a part of Southwark, Dr.
Waller, of Bartholomew's-close, and Mr. Doubleday, of Black-
friars'-road, determined to combine their efforts in its accom-
plishment. A word and a blow was their motto. They formed
the Institution ; many difficulties had to be overcome, and the
progress for a time was consequently slow : but, as the effects
reached the knowledge of the benevolent, new facilities were
put into the hands of the projectors, and the Charity has
gone on insuring additional subscribers from year to year,
and affording equivalent and most extensive advan-
tages. In short, the object of this Charity is to
supply medical attendance and medicine to poor women,
during their confinement, at their own houses; and no
person possessing the most superficial degree of human kind-
ness or sympathy could witness the scenes of destitution
which the practitioners from this Institution find poor (and
many most deserving) women in, at that period at which nature,
and their strength, and spirits, require all the succour bene-
volence and skill can furnish, without resolving on doing cre-
dit to has own feelings. Frequently, and without any fault at-
tributable to the poor women, they are found, at this trying
moment, occupying one or two rooms, surrounded by a husband
out of employment, numerous half-clothed, and half-fed
interesting children, with nothing but a mattress to lie down
upon, a most scanty supply of covering, and scarcely a penny
to purchase the materials for making a cupful of gruel. As
this is far from being an exaggerated picture, and as these pain-
ful facts are daily seen, and attested by the most respectable au.
thority, it is not to be wondered at, that, as the Institution
formed for meeting such distresses should become known, it
should secure to itself the support of the benevolent and the
good. Accordingly last night we had the pleasure of hearing
among the Secretary's list of new subscribers the names of the
Marquis of Worcester, Lord John Russell, the Hon. Mr. Petre,
J. J. Briscoe, Esq., M.P., &c. &c.
The Institution has likewise obtained, in the course of last
year, a most powerful and important auxiliary in the formation of
a Ladies' Committee. The members of this Committee visit the
more distressed cases, and supply assistance, both in money,
nourishment, and clothing, to the utmost extent which the
funds and their combined efforts will admit of; and no less than
six hundred and sixty-two cases were attended and relieved in
the course of the year which has just terminated. About one
hundred of the friends of the Charity sat down to an excellent
dinner yesterday. Immediately after the cloth was withdrawn
the gallery was filled with ladies. The worthy Alderman
discharged the duties of the chair in admirable style.
Messrs. Broadhurst, Fitzwilliam, Chapman, and Master How-
ard, maintained their positions with great eclat. Second do-
nations were announced from Mr. Alderman Copeland, Arthur
K. Barclay, Esq., &c. Numerous subscriptions were received,
and the conviviality closed, at a very late hour by an earnest ex-
pression on the part of the Chairman, that by the next anni-
versary the Institution will have become much more extensively
known (requiring only to be known to insure support), and the
funds found to be greatly increased.
