A. short time ago Mrs. ELIZABETH BRIGGS,
of Bramcote, set her kettle on the fire to boil the water for
tea. When she had prepared the tea, it was so exceedingly
bitter that she could not drink it. She poured out the
water, and filled the kettle afresh, boiled it a second time ;
again she tasted the tea—it was still bitter ; she emptied
the kettle once more, filled, and boilisi it,—still it had the
same bitter taste : she then emptied the kettle to scour the
inside, when, lo ! out came a middle-sized toad, which had
endured three good boilings ! Fortunately else received no
injury._She,(Jield iris.

BLOOMFIELD, THE POET.-A Correspon-
dent asserts that it was not the widow of ROBERTLoom-
FIELD, the Suffolk bard, who last week availed herself oi

the benefit of the Insolvent Act, but a distant relative.
The following is a copy of the inscription on the tomb-
stone of that poet, in Campton Church-hard, about a mile
from Shelford, where he died, the latter having neither
church nor burial-place, and which tribute to his memory
was recently erected by Dr. BONNET, the venerable Arch-
deacon of Bedford :
Here lie the remains of ROBERT BLOOMFIELD.

He was born at Ilonington, in. Suffolk, Dec. 3, 1761,
and died at Shefford, Augifst 19th, 1623.

It is said that two new banking establishments
are about to be opened in Birmingham.— Sheffield Cour.
Gloves are now manufactured by felting, in the

fit and wool.— Glasgow Chronicle.

It has already been stated that a beautiful tes-
selated pavement, &c. had been discovered under Pitney
Wood, arid within the last three weeks very extensive
ruins of the same kind have been brought to light by
Farmer CriaarnEas, in a field which he occupies as tenant
to Lord GiortGE CAVENDISH. These ruins are situated
on a very commanding spot, about half a mile from Pitney
Church, and about a mile south of the other ruins before
alluded to; and, from openings made in various parts of
the field, the walls are traced out, so as to extend over
about two acres ; all the walls are about eighteen inches
under the surface, two feet high, and two feet in width.
The rooms appear to have been about 18 feet by 20.
Very little of the earth has been cleared away, but one tes-
selated floor has been discovered, and near thereto the
farmer discovered half a mill-stone, about two feet in di-
ameter, and a little distance from this, two half gutter
tiles, of an excellent make, about 18 or 20 inches long.—
Balls Herald.
This town is now in a very anxious and anti-
cipative state, in consequence of the numeroria reports
which are afloat respecting the particular period of the
KING'S removal from the Royal Lodge to the state apart-
ments at the Castle. The important day, however, is still
a matter of conjecture, although it is pretty
well agreed on
all hands that the time at which that event will take place
is not very far distant. It is the prevailing opinion, that
on Monday next his Maarsry will meet a Cabinet Coun-
cil at the Castle, and that he will afterwards sleep there fur
the night. On the other hand, it is rumoured that the
KING will receive the REcoarnm's Report in London on
the above day, and that be will not go into his new abode
until the following Monday, namely, the Ist of December.
Wednesday,
them by one of the London Journals. We believe that so
again, has been named by others, and among
late as Thursday no day whatever had been fixed by his
MAJESTY, and that silence has been purposely preserved
on the subject, in order that whenever the KING chooses
to change his residence be may do so without being subject
to the parade and circumstance which commonly attend
like events. The inhabitants of Windsor have too much
good feeling not to acquiesce in his MAJESTY'S wishes on
this and every other occasion, and to make his residence
among thou in every respect desirable and happy.-
IVindsor Express.
Monday last a conger eel was taken in Yar-
mouth harbour, weighing 421b5., which was afterwards
exhibited by Mr. Mortars, butcher, and sold by" him at
3d. per lb. The flesh was beautifully white, and did not
appear of that oily nature we had expected to have noticed.

PERRYMAN, THE DEFAULTER.

(FURTHER PARTICULARS.)

It is now ascertained, almost beyond a doubt, that
Perryman has not left the country, notwithstanding
the length of time which has elapsed between his
disappearance from office and the discovery of his
defalcation. Indeed there is little doubt of his being
concealed in the metropolis, as he was seen by two
persons about 10 days ago, which was 'but two or
three days previous to his being suspected, his
guilt having been discovered only or Monday last.
It is believed that the amount of his defalcation has
been sunk, from time to time, in different unfortu-
nate speculations, and that having been many years
in office, he was enabled so to arrange the different
money-transactions in his accounts as to cover each
occasional deficit with alrthe appearance of regularity
and correctness. On a bill of _exchange, which was
given to him in part-payment for stock upon some
land which lie had disposed of, being presented by
his son, about a fortnight ago, it was observed that
the young man seemed unusually anxious to obtain
posseSsion of the money for it. The party on whom
it was drawn not having the amount ready at the
moment, he became irritated, and, in a different tone
from his usual maaner, threatened to proceed by law
for its immediate recovery; and although he knew,
the acceptor of the bill to be a substantial man, he
did in fact put it directly into an attorney's hands,

from whence it was redeemed before process
could be issued. Perryman was much respected in
the neighbourhood where be resided, and always
paid his tradespeople with regularity. It is stated,
as ose cause of his embarrassment, that he employed
a much greater number of people about his grounds,
Ike. than were necessary, and to whom he always paid
most extravagant wages, as appears from the fact of
those who are retained by the present occupiers being
perfectly satisfied with two-thirds of the weekly
amount they received from their late master. So
well did the defaulter manage matters, that every
thing he possessed was turned into money before the
discovery of his delinquency. The treasurer of the
navy (the Right Hon. Vesey Fitzgerald), we un-
derstand is about to adopt measures to prevent a re-
currence of these disastrous events. Special care
will be taken in the appoint►nent of persons to fill all
. the responsible situations of this office, and succes-
sion from mere rotation will be of no avail, unless

thorough respectability and rigid good conduct shall
belong to the aspirant. Mr. Creswell, the cashier, is
still under suspension from office, and will, we fear,
be ruined by this unfortunate transaction.--Observer.
