Tin SUMMONS TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL.--Many
have supposed that Lord. John Russell foresaw the precise
time of his being " sent for" by the Queen: a correspondent,
whom we can trust, shows that the forsight did not exist—
the summons was quite unexpected. This is an extract from
our correspondent's letter :—" Lord John Russell was sitting
with his wife at Douglas's Hotel (in Edinburgh), reading to
her, at 10 o'clock iu the evening, when the Queen's rues-

seng er arriyed; and on hearing that somebody wished to
speak to him, he declined seeing him, unless he mentioned
his name and the business he came upon. The messenger
sent up his name, which was unknown to Lord John ; but
declined mentioning his errand. Lord John then refused to
see him ; and he was obliged to send up by the waiter the
Queen's private letter."—Spectator.
A. PIG FOR A GUIDE.—A friend of mine has always
contended that a pig is a sagacious beast, and he instances
it by the following fact :—He describes himself as having
been lost in a very extensive park, the undulating and
wooded character of which prevented him from catching any
glimpse of the house, or of any point of exit ; and after
riding about until he became even more bewildered, he at
last disturbed a pig in a heap of fern. That it was turned
out to feed on the acorns and beech-nuts, then thick on the
ground, was evident ; and it struck him that, by riding at
it, it would run homewards for protection. It galloped off,
and, after the run of a mile, brought him to one of the
keeper's lodges, which was hidden by trees and ivy.—Note-
book of a Naturalist.
PEACE WITH THE UNITED STATES—RECOMMEN..
DATION TO MEISCHANTS.—It has been thought by friends of
the cause of peace, in Manchester, that friendly addresses
from the merchants of this country to the merchants of Ame-
rica, would have every salutary influence on the public mind
in both countries. Such addresses to be short, to deprecate
war, to eulogize the blessings of peace, to acknowledge the
absolute depeadance of commerce on that blessing, and to
urge national arbitration in cases of national dispute. The
suggestion seems to us a very good one. Such addresses
would attract attention by their novelty, and would strengthen
the hands of both Governments in resorting to arbitration.—
Leeds Mercury.
TUNNEL THROUGH THE CALTON HILL.—The last
brick in the arching of this undertaking is to be laid to-day
(Friday), when the whole—extending to four hundred yards—
will be completed. Workmen are busily employed preparing
the ground for the permanent rails, and as the laying down
of these will occupy only a few days, the tunnel will very
soon be ready for use. The operations at the other points
along the line from this to Berwick are with a single excep-
tion, equally advanced. The point referred to is at Piershill,
where, in consequence of the encroachments. of the line on
the Riding-school and Hospital, considerable time was neces-
sarily consumed in the erection of new accommodation. The
work, however, at this point, continues to be carried on with
all possible expedition. For several months back a great
number of miles
.have been finished off, especially towards
the Berwick terminus, where the buildings connected with
the station are in the course of erection.—Edinburgh Adver-
tiser.
CULTIVATION OF TURNIPS.—A crop of turnips
grown in a field on Croxton Heath, in the occupation of
Mr. Wilders, one portion of which was town with bones to
the amount of twenty bushels, at a cost of 50s. pes acre ;
another portion sown with the same kind of seed, at the same
time, upon the same description of soil, but with bones dis-
solved with sulphuric acid, at a cost of 235. per acre, under
the direction of Mr. Hall, chemist, Grantham, when the pro-
duce of the latter exceeded that of the former by more than
1 5i tons per acre.—Lincobishir! Chronicle.
WmyrnlNG.—The herring fishery is brought to a
close, with less success than it promised at its commence-
ment. The fishermen aro already preparing for the mackerel
! season, which in a very short time rill begin.—Brightou
Gazette.
BRADFORD.—MASTERS AND SERVANTS....-A most
gralifyiug instance of the respect and good understanding
which should ever exist between master and servant, has
ome to our knowledge, and which we have much pleasure
in communicating to our readers. A short time ago, Messrs.
James Milligan and Sons, near Leeds, declined business as
manufacturers. Their workpeople held a meeting, at which
it was resolved that some memorial of the workpeople'a
esteem should be presented to their late masters. Accord-
ingly, three handsome silver snuff-boxes were purchased
with a sum of money raised by subscription, and on Wednes-
dayewcre presented to Messrs. Milligan and Sons, with a
suitable address. Such an example of attachment between i
masters and their workpeople s worthy of all praise, and we
hope will be oftener found than it has been.—Leeds Times.
