HOW TO LOAD A COACH.

You start from the Marine Hotel, Ventnor, with
the coach apparently full of passengers ; however,
two or three stragglers are taken up before you get
to the end of High-street, where two blooming lasses,
all smiles and furbelows, are waiting with bundles
and trunks, to be conveyed to Ryde. After a great
deal of pushing and squeezing, all are properly
stowed, and off you go ; but scarcely have you con-
gratulated yourself, before another lady, with a few
boxes, is seen standing opposite a cottage in the
sweet little village of Bonchurcb. Our coachman is
a gallant fellow, and of course pulls up—looks well
about him, and manages to make room where seem-
ingly before all was crowded. Now you are fairly
off, and everyone who has eyes is admiring the beau-
ties of the scenery that this part of the island affords,
and all are in rapture until after the arrival at Shank-
ling, where coachey's cramming powers are again
brought into requisition. At Hale's Hotel two young
men are token up and mounted on the luggage. A
little beyond is Dash's, where there are two ladies and a
little boy, the latter sitting on a very large trunk,
waiting the arrival of the coach. " Really, ladies,"
says the coachman, " I have no room :—how many
want to go ?" Us two and the little boy with the great
trunk," responds one of the ladies. " I think I can
manage to make room for one, and only one," says
the coachman. But there is no knowing what an Lie
of Wight coachman will not attempt and what he will
not accomplish, for he manages to put away some-
where the two ladies, the little boy, and the big
trunk. You start off once more—a crowd of passen-
gers and a mountain of luggage. On, on you rattle
until you get to Brading, where another lady, with
some more luggage, is waiting to be conveyed to
Hyde. "No room, ma'am." " Deary me, what shall
I do—why my husband and brother have arrived from
London, and are waiting for me at the Pier Hotel.
Oh, dear—oh, dear." This appeal is made in so pa-
thetic a tone that it moves the coachman's heart, and
he immediately gets down and scans the coach all
round ; but his ingenuity in the art of stowage is to
longer available—there is not an atom of room ; so be
again mounts the box. " Well," says he "it seems
a pity to disappoint that lady although she does weigh
fifteen or sixteen stone. Don't you think," speaking
to the three passengers with him on the box seat,
" don't you think we could manage to place her on
the foot board here?" This is no sooner proposed
than done, and the fat lady is accommodated. And
so the coach is loaded.—Hampshire Advertiser.

CAPTURE OF A WHALE IN MUS-
SELBURGU BAY.
On Tuesday afternoon the inhabitants of Mussel-
burgh and adjoining bathing quarters and fishing
villages, had their curiosity awakened by the capture
of a whale of very considerable dimensions on the
sandbank. About four o'clock a black object was
observed by several persons from the sea beach, and
about a mile from land. The discoverers obtained a
boat and went out to the capture. Several shots were
fired at it, which took effect, and gave it a quietus,
though it still showed considerable tenacity of life,
and, after seeming dead, now and then renewed its
vitality. The enterprising captors, in order that their
prize should not escape them by the returning tide,
as it showed some unwillingness to give up life,
caged it, as it were, by the stake nets, and took other
measures to secure it. At an early hour yesterday
morning strenuous efforts were made to bring the
animal ashore, and after yoking three horses to the
tremendous load, it was found impracticable to do so
without cutting the carcase in pieces. They succeeded,
however, in removing it several yards, so as to make
it approachable at half-tide, and they then proceeded
to cut, or rather saw off, the tail, which they
speedily brought as a trophy to the shore. The tail
was ten feet from each tip of the fork, and those who
were content to survey the carcase from dry ground
were enabled to conjecture its size by examining its
tail on the principle ex pede Flerculem. The inde-
fatigable amateur whalefishers then sawed off another
huge slice from near the tail, and proceeded to dissect
the rest of the carcase. Before doing so it was mea-
sured, and found 511 feet in length, and about 21 feet

likened to a feather bed by the spectators, the furrows
of the skin giving it an appearance like dirty tick.
The blubber was almost as white as pork, and almost
every one took a small piece either of the skin or the
flesh. It is conjectured that the capture will realise
about two tons of oil, besides the value of the whale-
bone, &c. The whale was left last night still about
half-tide—all efforts to draw it out having proved
unsuccessful, although various expedients have been
resorted to. It is determined, we believe, to cut the
fish in pieces, and thus bring it ashore.—Caledonian
Mercury.

THE CONVICT HANNAH CURTIS —A letter has been
received from an official in the Home-office by the sheriff of
Gloucester, intimating that the sentence of death passed OA
the woman Hannah Curtis, who it will be remembered was
found guilty at the last Gloucestershire assizes of the murder
of her husband, Thomas Harris, by administering arsenic to
him, has been commuted to transportation for life. It will be
remembered that the alleged object of the prisoner was to get
rid of her husband, in order to marry a man named Curtis,
who led her to the altar within a month after Harris's death.
It is now said that she was never married to Harris, and
therefore could have married Curtis during Harris's life. No
official intimation of the commutation has been received by
the sheriff of the county, in whose custody the prisoner is.
She entirely denies her guilt.

A newspaper is now printed in China, called the
Pekin Monitor, it is in the Chinese language, and is the first
paper ever published in the celestial empire.
A HEAVY BEE-HITS.—A top swarm of this season,
belonging to Mr. Adam Gray, Little Pitinnan, Daviot, was
smoked I.st week, and weighed 961bs. It was swarmed on
the 25th or 26th of June, and threw off a swarm from itself
some eight or ten days after.
