SHOOTING FOR A GOLD MEDAL.

Tuesday afternoon a number of the principal Officers,
belonging to the City Light. Infantry assembled at Chalk
Farm to shoot for a valuable gold medal. The target was
Pitched at two o'clock. The competitors stood at 150
yards from it, and the firing commenced. The Colonel
and the Sergeant of the corps fired with such precision,
that they rarely missed the mark, and it soon became ap-
parent that none of the ether competitors stood even the
remotest chance. The struggle for the prize was therefore
entirely between these two gentlemen, who fired a num-
ber of rounds with equal success. It was, however, ulti-
mately won by the Sergeant, amidst shouts of applause
from his friends. A number of other prizes were after-
wards shot for.

His MAJESTY, we regret to say, is still con-
fined to his apartments at the Royal Cottage at Windsor.
The affection in his extremities has abated favourably ; but
enticing as the weather now is, his MAJESTY is not per-
mitted to risk the enjoyment of it in the open air.—Morn-
big Journal.

MR. LAWLESS.—This gentleman arrived in
this city on Saturday night, after a laborious, and not a
little perilous, tour through four counties of the North.
Mr. LAWLESS went over nearly 1300 miles in his different
circuits through the various parishes of Louth, Meath,
Cavan, and Monaghan. His labours were far greater than
his perils, the latter have been much exaggerated by the
generous fears and the cunning artifice of his enemies. The
system of the Rent is now perfectly organized in three of
the above counties. Mr. LAWLESS only visited two of
the principal parishes of Cavan. He sometimes visited
two parishes in one day, and addressed immense congrega-
tions in each for an hour or an hour and twenty minutes.

LECTURES ON THE EAR.--The first ,of a
Series of Lectures on the Anatomy, Physiology, and Paths"-
logy of the Ear, was delivered a few days since at the
Royal Dispensary for Diseases of the Ear, Dean-street,
Soho-square, by Mr. Cuirris, Auriat to his MAJESTY.
The Lecturer commenced by giving a zoological definition
of man, according to the present arrangement of Cuviaa,
13i.0 MF NAA CH, 84C., and traced the commencement of society
from barbarism to civilization; he then traced the com-
parative Anatomy of the Ear; and the gradation of organi-
z.ition in different animals, showing its perfection in man
above all others ; and passing down from the monkey,'dng,
elephant, and horse, to other quadrupeds ; thence to birds,
reptiles, and fishes, and so on to the loweat links of the
