We understand that the snatch between Clinker
and Radical is off, owing to Mr. WHITE'S having hurt his
knee in hunting.

and afterwards created Viscount CAMRDEN. It is said
faf, left his two daughters one hundred thousand pounds
apiece He built a large Louse in St. .folut-street, for
the Justices of Middlesex to hold their Sessions ; which,

NATURAL PIIENONIENON.--A whale has
recently been taken'in Oyster Bay, exhibiting a most sin-
g"lu phenomenon. On cutting it up the blubber appeared
of a blood red, and after boiling, the oil, which is of very
gia"'l quality, assumed the same colour. The fish exhibited
4° extraordinary appearance, externally, but turned out
':ven tuna of oil, specimens of which have been sent to the
'acuity for analysis.-- Von Diemen's Land Paper.
A. low phaeton, the property of Colonel SAL-
has attracted much notice within these few days at
e Wet end of the town, from being drawn by two little
Nhtti
Ne and ponies, not much larger than the common run of
Wfoundland dogs.
ts IEXTRAORDINA RY •LONGRVITY.—Amongst
the pensioners who attended, on Wednesday, at the Head
et Office, to swear their quarterly atlidavits, was one
;;;); tine old man, who had reached his hundred and fifth
od't Hs was in the full possession of all his faculties,
e uad been receiving a pension as having served twenty
a,,4re Previous to, and in the first American War. To
al-1
questions asked him, he said he had been by no means
C ee"tetnious man in his younger days, and had always
an early riser.—Dublin Evening Post.
—GULAR ,IRCUMSTANCE.—A Corre-
}?°adent at Ampthill, in Bedfordshire, informs us that he
4h4 ‘"n in Quicksand's Wood, between Ampthill and
s
e*"c,"rd, a nest, in which a woodcock was sitting on four
Igs• The eggs, he says, are larger than those of a rook,
of a yellow colour with red spots. The bird sits very
Close, and although a great number of persons daily ap-
proach close to the nest, she is not at all distuibed. —Dor-
set Chronicle.
