DINNER. TO PROFESSOR MgCULLOCII.—
Professor 31‘Cur.Locn having been invited by his numer-
ous friends in Galloway, previous to his going to London
as Professor of Political Economy in the University of that
city, to meet with them at Newton Stewart, a dinner, at-
tended by about forty of the most respectable inhabitants of
that province, was given him on Tuesday last, the 2d inst.,
o❑ which occasion a superb service of plate, value three
hundred guineas, was presented to him.—Edinburgh Ad-
rertiscr.

GEORGE COULSON, the late noted cricket
player, applied at the Exchange yesterday ►oorning, for a
SUMITI3IIS against a man for selling him a cat instead of a
rabbit. It appeared that on Saturday he met a man with
a nice young rabbit, as he thought, which he gave ten-
pence for ; but, on looking at it the next morning, his wife
to her utter dismay found it was a dead cat. Summons
refused. —Lei cester Herald.

THOMAS FULLER, the historian, so well
known for his quaint sayings and bright points, was one
day riding with a gentleman named SPARROWIIAWK. The
name roused his fancy, and he asked him what was the
difference between " a Sparrowhawk and as owl ?" " Why,
sir," replied his companion, " the owl is fuller in the head,
fuller in the body, and fuller all over."—Hull Packet.

The game throughout this county is uncom-
monly scarce this year ; the covies, instead of their usual
number, rarely being found to exceed eight or ten birds.
The scarcity is, no doubt, to be attributed to the long-
continued rains which prevailed during the breeding sea-
son.—Taunton Courier.
There is. at present living ill the parish of
Port-in-Monteath,. a woman, called widow CAMERON,
who is about 100 yeers old, and who is remarkably stout
and healthy. She keeps two cows, for which she threshes
all the fodder, and manages the dairy department with
great activity. Last winter she' was observed walking
barefooted during frost and snow to Buskie, a distance of
nearly two miles.— Obsgotc Chronicle.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 9.—lt is a matter of regret
than his Excellency is so frequently visited with those
nervous attacks to which he is so subject ; he was con-
fined to his Marine Lodge, Rich View, on Sunday last;
but his two sons, Lords ALFILED and GEORGE, accompa-
nied by one of the Aide-de-Camps, were all day riding
about Kingstown. Some of the chit chat here is the
accouclatment of Pen-QuErN GUATUOA, the lady of
AVONG CHONGTIE, of Canton China; the offspring is a
daughter. Great anxi2ty is expressed to see this little
Irish Chinese ; she will prove a rich harvest to the mother,
who has been exhibiting herself for some time in this city.

A few evenings since as the Rev. Mr. SLIER_
MAN was preaching his farewell sermon to a very nume-
rous congregation at Lady HUNTINODON'S chapel, they
were thrown into great amazement by the following curious
circumstance :—The Minister teas proceeding with his dis-
course, and the attention of the people was fixed most ear-
nestly on him, when a strange, odd sound was heard in ene
of the aisles—nething was to be seen—no one could con-
ceive what it could be--the thump ! bump ! thump !
thumping ! was however distinctly heard—alarm and con-
sternation were strongly depicted in every countenance—
even the Minister paused. presently the noise ceased—
and in a few minutes a huge, shaggy, black Newfoundland
dog most grotesquely thrust his head with his big eyes
glaring and his red tone lapped over the front of the
singing gallery. The mystery was new unravelled. The
dog had come into the chapel, and as he passed up the aisle
his long tail had bumped
against the pannels of the pews.

LEEDS CORN MARKET.—Sept 9.

We had rather a short supply of Grain ; the best sam-
ples of New Wheat sold at rather more money, but there
was little demand for Old, and prices much the same as
last week. There was a few parcels of New Barley sal
at 345. tc 365. per quarter, and a sample of New Oats at
13d. per stone, and New Shelling at 31s. 6d. per load,
but there was scarcely any thing doing in Old Oats or
Shelling—Beans, unless they were fine and of good colour,
were nearly unsaleable. 'We had not much Rapeseed of-
fering, and last week's quotations were fully supported.
