with it a pied one. They are generally seen in company
with several hundred others in the same flock. Several
attempts have been made to shoot them, hut hitherto 001
have escaped.—Drakard's Stamford News.
LIBERALITY IN A BISHOP.—The following'
instance of liberality and justice in a high dignitary of the,
Church, affords a strong contrast to the proceedings 0'
many other Spiritual Peers :—The Lord Bishop of DO"
HAM has inserted the names of Sir CARNABY HAGGSIV
STON, Bart., GEORGE SILVERTOP, Esq., BERTRAII OR°'
Esq , and W. T. SALVIN, E.q., Roman Catholic gentle'
men, in the Commission of the Peace for that couorri,;
thus evincing, that though his Lordship conscientieo", ,„,
opposed the late Parliamentary measure in its progresstri
is liberally disposed to admit it into full operation novt tPti
it has passed into a law.

A most melancholy occurrence took Or,
at Marazion on Wednesday morning. Between
hours of eight and nine o'clock, Mr. WILLIAM 111106,.1:
surgeon, of that place, shot himself in his garden. 1.1""
fatal instrument used was a fowling-piece, which he Or
trived to discharge so as to shoot himself through the bed'
The unfortunate gentleman had previously exhibited fel'
toms of a disordered mind.—Exeter Flying Post.

Owing to the vast burial places of the Turks
the universal silence and air of desolation which mark the
approach to Constantinople impress the mind of the
traveller with painful and gloomy feelings ; he seems
be entering upon a scene of death, or one laid waste ill
pestilence, or some other great national calamity.
The extent of the recent failures in the woollen
trade is said to be greater than was at first apprehended'''.
The claims en only a few of the houses exceed 800,0001.
Many compositions have been already made, and others
have been proposed. Basinghall-.street swarms with
country lawyers who have flocked to town in the hope
getting profitable jobs. If the assets on these estll
should be 4s. in the pound (and it is believed they 0"
not average 2s. 6d. under the most favourable of arrange-
ments), the lawyers will, under commissions, swallow 0P
at least 50,0001. of it. It is not unusual in the country
for an attorney to pocket 2,0001. by a single commission'
and it is said that the country bankers often share in the
spoils. A wealthy banker, in a notorious borough, :6
lc,,own to have made a fortune out of the spoils of a 810616
bankruptcy.
