o'clock, Sir Henry Halford, Dr. Warren, Dr. Mac-
michael, and Mr.. M'Gregor, attended the Royal
Duke at Mr. Greenwood's villa, at Brompton Park,

hour. About five o'clock the Royal Duke rode out
in his open carriage.

Great expectation prevails with regard to the races,
and the sport on the first day especially is expected
to be unusually good. For the King's Cup five ca-
pital,horses are entered, and the Pavilion Stakes will
also produce some good running. Many of the horses
are arrived in this town, and at Lewes. We hope
that those subscribers who have not yet paid their
money to the Committee will feel the importance of
attending without delay to their appeal.—Brighton
Gazette.

Madame Pasta sings in the Grand Opera of Medea,

King of France, who convened a Council of his

CONJUGAL INFIDELITY.—Yesterday a disconso-
late wife, appeared at the Head Police-office to prefer
a charge against Jane Tulle, a little ~about 13
years old, for finding her •in bed with complainant's
husband, between two and three o'clock in the morn-
ing. Miss Taaffe denied the slanderous accusation,
and the magistrates; thinking it a case rather for the
Consistoria Court than the Police-office, were about
to dismiss .the complaint, when the complainant, by
way of amendment,; to her former charge, further ac-
cused Miss Tait% of stealing a pair of shoes. On
this charge the young lady is held over.—Freeman's
Journal:
PATENT FLOORING MACHINE.—A machine
has recently been invented; and "patents obtained for
it, which at once performs all the various operations
for converting rough sawn boards into completely
finished flooring. It reduces the board to a uniform
breadth, plains. it, cuts the grove in the one edge,
and works the feather or tongue on the other ; it also
removes the superfluous thickness from a sufficient
portion of that part of the board which is destined to
become the underside of the floor, and even takes off
a minute portion of the arris, that the joints. may
enter with more facility in laying it down ; the whole
being executed in a superior manner, and, as may rea-
dily be imagined, with much more accuracy than if
performed- by,the most skilful workman.

THE CREATION. OF WoNtAN.—(From the Ger
man of Kircher.)—ln a company where the conver-
sation happened to turn upon the Mosaical account of,
the creation of the first woman, a lady made the fol-
lowing remark:--"The Creator appears in this story,
in the light of a midnight robber—he steals from
Adam in his sleep." "Allow me, Madam,", said a°
gentleman; "to narrate an anecdote by sway .of argu-
ment against your objection. Lust' ingid some per ohs
broke into my fathers house; . they carried away a bar
of silver, and left units place a
~nchly ...Chased goldeif
vase ;—can we consider these %men, as -thieves ?".`•
" Thieves !" exclaimed the lady, " no, benefactors."
" Well, then, said the gentleman, ." in what manner
ought we ti; regard Him who took away a -worthless
rib and gave in exchange an inestimable treasure ?"
