TI IR CONSUMPTION OF SPIRITS.—From a parlia-
mentary paper, issued yesterday, it appears that for the five
years ending the sth January, 1854, the total quantity of
British, foreign, and colonial spirits consumed in Scotland
was 36,039,712 gallons • and for the five years ending the
31st December, 1858, 29,079,138 gallons. In the same periods
there were consumed in England 70,479,207 gallons and
78,597,128 gallons respectively.
EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OF SNAKES.—At
Bourton-on-the-Water, a few days since, in the absence of
Mr. and Mrs. Powell and family, of Cold Aston, who had
left home to enjoy the sea breezes, the labourers employed
on the farm, while removing a heap of manure, were
astonished to find a large quantity of snakes in it. They
succeeded in killing no less than 70. It is supposed that
the mildness of the season and the heat of the mamn •
caused so many to generate in so short a time, the heap not
being of more than six mouths' collection,
