COPENHAGEN, FEB. 24.—The Swedish and Nor-
wegian mails of the 20th of this month have not yet

Burma, FEB. 24.—1 t is said that the mitigation of
the Emperor of Russia's ukase, for the removal of the
Jews, has been made at the instance of the King of
Prussia and the Grand Duke of Hesse. ,

BERLIN, FEB. 27.—According to accounts from War-
saw, very great regret is felt there for the loss which
the. kingdom will suffer by the retirement' of Prince
Paskewitsch, who is on the point of quitting his high
post .; he will go abroad for a considerable term, and
afterwards have another appointment. The regret is
the more serious at this change because of. the hu-
mane character of the Prince, who on all occasions
showed indulgence and forbearance, rather then employed
vigorous measures. Under these circumstances he is,
however, sure of the esteem of his Emperor, who knows
the excellent heart, as well as the military talent, of, the

WILSON'S SCOTTISH ENTERTAINMENTS.—.-MOllday
.night Mr. Wilson gave his favourite entertainment of "A
'Nicht wi' Burns," and notwithstanding its being an " even
dean pour o' rain" all day, and little better in the evening,
•-the room_ was filled by a happy and, delighted audience--
a preof that this_ gentleman's exertions counterbalance ageod
ducking and a squeeze in a crowded room. The programme
was made up of gems from Burns's store, and in addition Mr.
Wilson gave great amusement by his introduction of the
poet's satirical effusion of " My spouse Nancy," in which the
vocalist, sustained the dialogue between the fiery-tempered
wife and
.the cool husband with admirable humour. On
Friday and Saturday Mr. Wilson gave entertainments in
Brighton under the patronage of the Duchess of Somerset and
other diitinguished personages, when the rooms were
crowded.by all the nobility and fashion now resident in that
fashionable locality. We perceive by the provincial papers
that Mr. Wilson visits Oxford, Bristol, and Bath during the
present week..
TRYING AN EXPERIMENT.-Mr. James Osbourne-
of Farndon-row, Newark, a native of the Emerald Isle, tried
the experiment of cutting his throat on Thursday, the 15th
instant, and after cutting through the fleshy part
Shouted out lustily for help ; and on his son-in-law's
answering,, he found him bleeding very profusely, but. in
no immediate danger. He had in one hand a razor;
and in the other a penknife • and it appears that he
had met a disappointment which led him to make the
attempt. His wife was confined to a sick bed, during which
time he discovered a hoard of 1401., and this he placed in the
hands of a faithless companion named Childs, to accompany
him to Ainerica. Childs was to lead the way to Gains-
borough, and Osbourne was to follow; but Childs proved to
baold enough to decamp with the whole sum, and poor Pat
returned so chop-fallen and chagrinedthat he ventured upon
the experiment above stated. We are happy to say his life
is not in danger.—Stamford Mercury.

session one of these extraordinary animals,which was caught
on the premises of Dane-court Lodge, the re,sidenee of Mrs-
Milner, who had heard the little animal several times pre-

W-eodward, who is in the habit of going to the house in his
usual avocation, who procured a trap and soon captured the
little animal; and still retains it in his possession. It has been
visited by the greater part
.of the inhabitants of this place,
who expressed their astonishment and admiration of the
notes of the little animal. The writer of this notice has wit-
nessed it several times ; the sounds it emits are a low but shrill
whistle, something similar to the notes of the nightingale.—
