RIGHT OF PROPERTY IN WIND.---Water-mill
were at one tiny:, particularlyon the Continent, included
among the regalia or rights of the Crown ; and, on the
introduction of windmills, this assumed right was ex-
tended over air as well as water. A whimsical instance
of the attempted exercise of this privilege is on record.
It seems that the Augustine monks beonging to the
monastery at Weindsheim, in the province of Overyssel,
were desirous of erecting a windmill in the neighbour-
hood ; but the lord of the soil opposed their project, on
the extraordinary assumption that the wind in that dis-
trict belonged to him. Upon this the monks applied to
the Bishop of Utrecht, who decided, in a towering passion,
that no one bad power over the wind in his diocese but
himself And thereupon he immediately granted let ters-
patent to the good mouks.—Guide to Tiade.
Mr. George, the English engineer, who was killed
iu the frightful accident on the Paris and Versailles
Railway, was formerly in the service of the Liverpool
and Manchester Company. lie was an intelligent and
trustw rthy man, and much respected by his employers
both in England and France.
THE PRICE OF CATTLE.—The price of cattle and
sheep is rising as rapidly as it declined. There was a
large supply at the Liverpool Market yesterday', but still
the prices were very high. We stated, a fortnight ago,
that the decline was the consequenc,i! of a mere panic,
and that it would not continue,—Liveipool Times.
