Emperor .13noNAPAzt.TE has lately been brought
into this country, with some other domesticated
animals, and is now at Winchester. The inge-
nious artist) Mr. TAYLOR, of that city, is paint-
ing a picture of the animal, which he intends for
the Exhibition at the Royal. Academy, on the
ensuing season. We avail Ourselves of this op-
portunity of expressing our admiration of the
works of this excellent unassuming Artist: ,Ile
has painted several beatitiftil pictures of birds,
• &c., which now are in the Galleries of Sir Tuo-
m.ts 13. t ntso and several other eminent collectors.
UNCOMMOg OCCURRENCE.--The following Cir-
cumstance, we under Stand, occurred on Saturday
in an eminent banking-house at the West end of
the town. One of the clerks accompanied the
cashier to lock.up the bills, cash, &c. in an iron
vaulted closet, and the trashier not recollecting
that the clerk was left In the place, fastened the
doori and the latter was unfortunately confined.
in that dreary abode till Monday morning.
To MARE CHAMPAGNE FRO)I GRAPES EQUAL TO Fb-
nEws—Ciather the grapes when they are just turning, or. about half ripe; pound them in a tub, and .
to every quart of
berries so pounded, put two quarts of water ; let it stand in Mash-tub for fourteen days, when it is to be &awn off; and to every gallon of liquor put three pounds of lump sugar: when
dissohed, cask it, and after working, bung it down. In about
sa* months it will be fit to drink, when it should be bottled and
tied dovin, or wired, if it is intended to be kept more than one
year. • .

Elm Ann Tit Act, Esq. is elected a member of
,the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
We are informed that the. subscription- to op-
pose the intended bridge across the Arun, at the
village of Little Hampton, has met with the
greatest encouragement, not only at Arundel, but
in other parts of the country; among those inte-
rested in the free navigation of that river.
The Bath herald announces the return of the
Princess of Carahoo to her native country (Eng-
land). This is the celebrated female who, about
six years ago, passed herself off as. an Indian
Princess, and set all our seatans at work to inter-
pret her -language.
.At Doncaster, a short time since, a child, four
years old, son, •of Mr. CLARKE, Church,street,
fell from the window of the attic story, but for-
tunately a man was passing at the time, when
the head of the child came in contact with hs
shoulder, by which the fall was broken, and the
child was taken up only very slightly injured.
General Sir GEORRE WAL.KEE, whom we
lately mentioned meeting with a.severe accident
by his horse running away with him, continues
'n a dangerous st;lte, his shoulder-bone being
'ractured in two places, independent of which he
• - ived such internal. bodily 'injury, as causes
to emit a quantity of blood. On Sunday
his Royal Highness the. Duke of Susssx
a long visit to him.
.OCAE Poucc.---The mode of protecting the'
parish of St. Crux, York, from nocturnal depreda-
tion, is at once screCanomical and in other respects,
so worthy of imitation, thattonmtich publicity
cannot be given to the means liy which it is effect-
ed. The inhabitants are- bOntid 'by a voluntary
engagement to supply a patrole of two of their
number tomalk-theparish-every night and perform
the duty of ordinary watchmen. The tour of
duty to each effective member of this excellent
association reverts but once -in si?:. weeks. And
when attendance is impracticable, a mercenary is. •
procured for two shillings. On_ the outset -Of
their career they put to flight two nests of repro.
bates, since which time the parish has enjoyed
the utmost security and quiet. A watch-housa
for the accommodation of the 'patrole is now
building on a spot immediately adjoining the
church.
WINE-BIRRER EXTRAORDINARY.--ThPre is
now sojourning at Brighton a gentleman, 92 years,
of age, who was never before ten miles from Lon-
don, and who, it is said, frequented an inn in
Bishops,gate-street daily, for upwards of 50 years,
and at which, it is farther reported,,, he latterly
allowed himself live bottles of port Wine per diem,
and that upon calculation and proof it appeared
he had actuary drank at the above-mentioned
house no less a quantity than 35,609 bottles, or
57 pipes of that generous and genial juicel!!----

WORTHY CONDUCT.—So much has been said
and reiterated about " the ingratitude of the poor;" -
that we are much. pleased in having ,to record.
that Mr. GEORGE WOLSTENHOLME, late Master
of the Workhouse in York, for the - long
space of thirty years, has been presented with a
snuff-box by the poor of the establishrnent.—
And this act is not only a testimony of the exist-
ence of gratitude in the bosom Of the poor, but it is
a singular instance of forbearance and fortitude in
an individual, who, at a period characterised by
versatility and a love of change, remained for
.nearly one-third of a century in a situation con-
nected with more anxiety and labour, than any- -
other that-can well be named. Both parties de-
serve much, praise. They-have set an example at
once, to -be followed-and admired.
THE GAS MAN AND NEATE.—This match, so
long in contemplation, was made on, Saturday
night, for 100 guineas a side, to be fought between
Bristol and London, on the Jlth of December.
Gas is backed at 5 and 6 to 4.

On Sunday last, a lark, pursued by a hawk,
lighted for shelter ma woman who was sitting in a
field near Tortherwald. The hawk was so rapa-
cious as to make several attempts on its intended
prey before it could be driven off. The lark,
apparently sensible of the protection it had-re-
ceived, remained with the woman, and is now
lively and cheerful, though confined in a rage.—
(Edinburgh Star.)
On Saturday evening last, about eight o'clock,
some villains having got into an unoceu2ikd•
house, No. 44, in Margaret-street, Cavendish-
square, passed from the attic window to the pa-
rapet of N 0.45, but finding the window shutters
there closed, they moved on to No. 46, which
they entered, and stole therefrom a trunk and
bag, containing money and clothes to the amount
of about 201., with which they safely escaped by
returning the way they had entered.

THE LONDON JOURNALS

DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS,

October 16.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]

The.Spectateur Oriental, a French Paper pub-
lished. at Smyrna, is well known to have been
uniformly hostile -to the Greeks. The Constitu-
tionel, in order to repel the accusations which
have, been brought against it of exaggerating the
cruelties of the -Turks, quotes an article from this

Smyrna Journal of the Ist of Sept., which corn-
Mences thus is to be remarked, that from
/he commencement of .the insurrection in Mol-
the Greeks here made their submission in
the most faithful and devoted manner to the local
Authorities; that they gave up. their arms the
moment they -were demanded ; and that nearly
2000. Greeks allowed themselves to be mas-
sacred on different days, without having dared
to kill a single' Turk. They. felt that the
state, of things prescribed this line of con-
Iluct to them, and that one murder commit-
ted by them would have been: the signal of
a general carnage, because it would infallibly
have irritated the whole Turkish population,- the
greater part of which took no part iu all the
horrors which were perpetrated. This prudent
moderation on the part of the Greek', by obliging
this majority to remain neuter between two or
three hundred cannibals,. and a people of more
than 30.000 souls under persecution, has per-
mitted Europeans to manifest efficaciously the
interest that humanity and honour; which ought
never to calculate danger, imperiously demanded."
—This arrival willenable the public properly to
appreciate the letter of Quintus b.S'in.zp-nceus, and
variety of articles in the same spirit, which- have
appeared at different times in our Papers. If this'
apologist-. for the Turks admits that 2000 de-
fenceless persons Were slaughtered in one city,
what must have been the amount of massacre
throughout Asia Minor ? What becomes, too, of.
the apology for the complete destruction of Ky.'
donias ? The Austrian Observer affirmed that.
the Kydonians had drawn down this chastise-
ment on themselveS by their bad faith, having,:
contrary to stipulation, taken an active part in.
the hostilities. It 'is now admitted, .that no
other idea than submission could ever possibly
enter. the heads of the Greeks of Asia Minor.—
We are gravely told by the Spedateur Oriegtal,
that the 2,000 Greeks allowed themselves to be.
massacred without daring to kill a single Turk,
because one murder committed by them would
have been the signal of a general carnage, and
have irritated the whole pepulation, the greater
part of which took no part in the horrors ! This
forms an admirable commentary on the doctrine
of some of our contemporaries, that the Greeks
might safely rely on the observance of the
Turkish amnesty. The majority of the
.Turks
of Smyrna, the respectable people of the place,
took no part in the massacres, but if a.Greek had
killed one Turk in defending his own life, these
respectable citizens would instantly have exter-
minated the whole of the Greeks !—This spe-
cimen of their notions of justice is quite enough,
we should think.
