ASCENSION OF M. POITEVIN, MOUNTED ON A DON-
KEY. We find the following in the Charivari of Friday:-
4' ill. Puitevin yesterday made his third ascension, mounted
on a donkey. On this occasion, as was announced in the
programme, Sancho Panza was to be accompanied by Don
Quixote and Dulcinea del Toboso; but Dulcina had her lips
adorned with a mustachio, which would have better suited
Maritornes than the Queen of Toboso. This mustachio is
explained by a change of persons; the Dulcinea was not, as
was first intended, Dldlle. Amalia, one of the fair eqeustrians
of the Bippodrome, as announced in the programme. At
the MOME nt of departure the young equestrian had doubtless
reflected on the dangers attendant on this aerial excursion,
and her character was taken by one of her colleagues of the
' other sex. The ascent took place under the most favourable
auspices, and there is every reason to hope that it will termi-
nate happily. One of the aeronauts could not at once re-
concile itst If to these adventurous expeditions—we allude to
the quadruped, which on this occasion looked more melan-
choly than on the occasion of its previous ascensions."
SON- FISH TAKEN NEAR 11ARIVICII HARBOUR.---A
sp cimen cf this singular fish (othaguriscqs oblongus), weigh-
ing about twenty pounds, was caught with a boat-hook on
the 4th instant, and taken on board a smack, which brought
it into this town, and several shillings were soon obtained by
cxhibitir.g it. This fish is remarkable for the peculiarity of
its ham, and the great length of its dorsal and anal fins,
which project directly opposite each other, and are united
with the caudal, and thus surround the hinder part of the
fish, which almost appears as if it had been truncated. Its
mouth is small in proportion to the size of the fish, with
teeth so united as to resemble a solid mass of ivory. It is
said that the sun-'fish when swimming, from the silvery
whitnces of their sides and their luminous properties, have
also been called in' on-fish. This, however, could not be
inferred from the si:Acimen which is here noticed, the upper
half being of a rough dirty brown, and the under part a few
shades lighter. The fish is rarely taken on the English
coast. —lpswich Express.
