A PRODIGY OF VEGETATION.—Mr. G. Ro-
BINS has announced for sale on Tuesday next, a large
black walnut-tree, measuring thirty-six feel in circum-
ference. The elm has been termed the weed of Somer.
setahire, and some of its most magnificent species are to be
found in Sandhill, Poundisford, and Halawell Parks, but
ample as are their dimensions, they are but of moderate
girth, compared with the mighty product of the American
forest above-mentioned.
DURHAM CITY ELECTION.--011 Tuesday
night, a Meeting of the Freeholders of the city of Durham
was held at the Tuns Tavern, Rupert-street, Haymarket,
when it was resolved to nominate another candidate, in
opposition to Sir HENRY HARDINGE, who had vacated
his seat by accepting office, and who, on that account,
they conceived would be unable to devote sufficient time
and attention to their interests. A Colonel CIIAYTOR
was then proposed, and upon whom a deputation waited
the same evening, when the Colonel said he would
accede to their request, and expressed himself in favour of
Catholic Emancipation. Yesterday evening he met the
Electors at the Tuna Tavern, when it was arranged that
the Colonel should leave London for Durham on Friday.
The Election is fixed for Monday. Sir, IfFmtv HAR..
rittiaz arrived in. Durham on Monday last.

The hay harvest has commenced in this neigh-

have been well put together.— Taunton Courier.

The hay harvest has commenced partially in
this district, and in the course of next week will become
general. The crop is mostly heavy, although upon cold
lands, the late wet weather has been rather prejudicial._

WELSH CALVINISTIC METHODISTS.-.-
This being the day appointed for the annual meeting of the
Welsh Calvinistic Methodists, it is expected there will be
a large assemblage. The city and suburbs have been fast
filling with people from all parts of the country round,
some attracted by curiosity, and others attending through
their attachment to the professions of the sect, since yester-
day noon.—North Wales Chronicle.

The Blackburn Pitt Club was held on Monday
lAA in that town. There was much noise and speechifying
as asual. -

NORTHERN HERRING FISHERY.- Long
before this time last year, the hands at the various stations
in the Frith of Forth were engaged for the northern her-
ring fishing. The distress of the times has materially nar-
rowed the demand for herrings, and the curers are by no
means in good spirits. The Fraserburgh fishers are en-
gaged at 9s. a barrel, and some of the Newhaven men are
engaged to go to that place for the same sum. It will be
recollected that 10s. was paid last year, and since Is. a bar-
rel has been taken off the bounty, 9s. may be as much as
the curers can afford, but it is no means a " remunerating
price" for the poor fishermen.—Scotsman.

ROUND STERN SHIPS.—The experiments
to ascertain the power of resistance afforded by the newly
constructed round stern ships, during the continuance of a
heavy discharge of cannon, were made on board the Prince
Regent gag ship, in the Long Reach, The LORD HIGH
ADMIRAL did not, as was expected, attend to witness the
experiment, but his Royal Highness's Secretary, the Hon.
Captain SPENCER, accompanied the dice-Admiral, Sir
HENRY BLACKWOOD, Commissioner CUNNINGnAM, and
other officers appointed to conduct the trial. The firing
continued without intermission fur two hours, during
which time there were discharged from her stern ports 20
rounds •f 20 guns, each loaded with shot and many of
them double-shotted. On examination afterwards it was
found that the stern frame did not exhibit any symptom of
weakness, but nearly the whole of the ornamental work on
the stern fell off before the fifth round.

On Monday last, Mr. FREER, of Somerby,
Leicestershire, was returning from Peterborough with a
horse and cart, where be had been to dispose of several
calves, and upon passing through Wansford, he overtook
a pedestrian somewhat shabbily dressed, and kindly agreed
to give him a ride. Upon arriving at Stamford, they
partook of refreshment, and shortly after proceeded on
their journey, in the course of which Mr. FREER. being
fatigued, resigned the reins to the stranger, and himself
in the arms of Morpheus, with an understanding that he
should be roused when they got to the toll-bar about six
miles distant. The rogue, however, having watched his
opportunity, contrived to ease his unsupecting dupe of the
sum of 201. 4s. 6d. and a great coat, with which he
escaped. The ingrate is at present undiscovered.—Stam-
ford News.

On Thursday week a heifer, about two years
old, belonging to Mr. GEORGE LIVERTON, of Dal racott, in
the parish of Great Torrington, was observed to look sullen
and stupid, and her owner, considering her to be ill, sent a
boy to drive her in, which he did, but with much difficulty.
The day following she appeared much worse, when a man
was sent for to bleed her, but on his entering the door she
exhibited every symptom of hydrophobia, and would suffer
no one to come near her. A bucket of water was let
down before her with a rope ; the moment she saw it she
hit and dashed the bucket to atoms ; and when the water
touched her she fell as though dead. She continued to
bite at avery thing within her reach, and at intervals lay a
considerable time apparently dead, until Monday last, when
she expired. On examining her, a mark MO found in her
cheek, where a dog had bitten her, so as nearly to have
taken eut its hold.

AFFECTING CIRCUMSTANCE.—Betwixt J.
GoRDON, miner, Leadhilla, and CHRISTIAN WEIR, of the
same place, mutual esteem bad ripened into mutual love.
But scarcely had the wedding-day been fixed, when the
bride was stretched on a bed of sickness. Great anxiety
prevailed in the place, and the lover was so agitated with
hope and fear—by reports flattering, and then unfavour-
able, that he was unable to go about his ordinary business.
As often as he was allowed to visit the betrothed, he uni-
formly strove to rally her spirits, even while his heart was
sinking within him, and from the moment this con,ola-
tion was denied he drooped and became seriously unwell
himself. But a crisis was now rapidly approaching, and
on Saturday week, the 24th ult. the meek and gentle
CHRISTIAN WrIR, whose frame had been exhausted by
previous suffering, breathed her last as calmly as a child
lulled to sleep in its nurse's arms. The sad tidings could
not, of course, be concealed from GORDON, and, prepared
as he must have been for such an event, the shock in the
first instance was most afflicting. After a little time he
became more composed, and Was heard articulating__
" Gon's will be done ! She is gone from me to a better
world, and I feel that I will not be many hours behind
her." And never was presentiment more fully realized.—
Within 24 hours he, too, became a clod of the valley.
The funerals of both were appointed to take place on the ,
same day, and never, perhaps, was the house of mourning
visited under more touching circumstances. As the mar-
iage.ceremony had not been performed, it was deemed
improper to inter both in the same grave ; and yet we
regret that any punctilio of this kind should have separated,
even by a few feet of earth, those who were truly lovely in
their lives, and who in their deaths should not have been
divided.—Dumfries Courier.

Mrs. Taylor, a very respectable widow, in Oxford-street,
was so deeply affected at the painful situation in which her
unnatural child bad placed her, that it was with difficulty
she could be sufficiently calmed to give her evidence. It
was at length collected from her, that this hopeful young
lady had been most tenderly brought up by her, and had,
at considerable expence, received her education at one of
the most respectable boadring schools in the neighbourhood
of the metropolis, and that, notwithstanding all this mater-
nal care, her amiable daughter has, fur the last
two years that ahe has been returned from school,
practised. a system of such incredible ingratitude and
cruelty towards her, that has at last, after long
endurance, driven her to the necessity of appealing
for self-protection to a magistrate. On the slightest
opposition to her will, this promising member of the fair
sex thumps and knocks her venerable parent about the
house, utterly regardless as to what instrument, whether
her delicate fist or the poker, she uses in the operation,
sometimes leaving the unhappy lady: bade and blue from
her violence. She occasionally takes the charitable whim,
too, of locking her mother not only out of her bed-room,
to sit up all night, but sometimes out of the house alto-
gether, to get a bed where she may ; indeed, it is as diffi-
cult to describe as it is to conceive, the atrocious conduct,
as stated, of this fiend.

A Mr. Jones and his wife, who are lodgers in the
house, stated that it made their hearts bleed to wit-
ness, as they were compelled to do, the sufferings of
Mrs. Taylor, from the desperate beatings of her
daughter ; and it was as much as their own lives
were worth, to interfere for her protection. It -was
only the day before that they did venture to interfere,
and what was the consequence? Why, that Mrs. Jones
was beat until she was all the colours of the rainbow; and
Mr. Jones just escaped having Lis head smashed with the
poker, by locking himself into a room, where Miss Jane
stood sentinel over him for two hours, daring him to come
out and have his skull fractured at her hands.

During the whole of the proceeding before the llagis-
trate, the young vixen, although witnessing the agonized
state of her mother's feelings, listened to the detail of her
exploits with the most unmoved indifference and taci-
turnity.

The Magistrate, Mr. CONANT, ending it vain to think
of correcting her by fair means, committed her to prison for
want of bail ; for although all the neighbourhood respect
her mother, not one in it would bail herself, and directions
were given that she should be kept in a solitary cell in the
prison. She was then locked up in a dark cell at the back
of the office until removed to prison.
