INCUBATION.—The following is the most
extraordinary instance we ever heard of. A duck, at Meath
Bank, near this town, up to the end of September in last
year, laced, hatched, and reared three broods of ducklings;
she then re-commenced laying, and continued to produce
six eggs a-week until the beginning of January, when she
again became broody, and has slow been sitting a fortnight.
—Stockport Advertiser.

The principal part of the numerous birds and
animals comprising the menagerie belonging to the Zoolo-
gical Society have been removed from the gnrdenn in the
Regent's Park, on account of the severity of the weather,
to more congenial habitations. The members of .the
Zoological Society have taken and fitted up the stables and
other out-buildings belonging to Mr. Lane, landlord of
the Dublin Castle, in Park-street, Camden-town, for
their accommodation, and have taken other buildings for
the reception of a more numerous quantity of animals. A
number of workmen are daily employed in erecting fresh
habitations in the gardens.

DREADFUL DEATH.—A fine little boy, the
son of a sweep at Dumfries, was sent up a-chimney by his
father, in a house occupied by more than one family. Lie
safely reached the top of the chimney, near which the
flue he had gone up united with another, and, with his
cap over his
.eyes, in descending he unfortunately came
down the other flue, at the bottom of which was a fire.
The falling soot soon filled the flue with smoke and flame,
and alarmed the family, who were sitting in the room.
Their cries reached the boy's father, who rushing into the
room in a state of the most dreadful terror, was just in
time to catch his ill-fated son in his fall from the flue, in
a state of insensibility. The spectacle the poor creature
exhibited was truly appalling; there was scarcely a par-
ticle of skin on any part of his person ; his face was so
burned that he could not be known. Medical assistance
was instantly procured, and he revived to a state of the
most agonizing suffering. The only words he spoke were,
when he saw his mother—" Oh ! mother, I wish I were
dead !" He expired in about three bout,.

the capital to put himself ,at the head of the army.
The truth is, that he has' only. gone .to take up his
abode in a 'barrack, situated at the extreme end of

JAsSY, JAN. 2.---Nothing of any importance has
occurred for a long time, tuul, all hostilities saii.tbi
right bank of the Danube are, 'in fact, suspended.
It is not likely that anything of consequence will
take place before the spring, as the two armies are
in winter quarters, in which the Turks are protected
by their fortresses and inaccessible defiles; while the
Russians have thrown up strong . entrenchmentk
from Hersowa to Paravadi, which are defended'hi
a great number of cannon' and 300100 men.
The Turks draw their subsistence from the for-
tresses, in which they find protection from the in-
clemency of the season. The RuSsians have erected
store-houses in the line of their fortifications,in which
they bid defiance to the bad weather. They derive
their supplies partly from the Principalities, partly
from Odessa, the communication with which place
is kept up by means of light coasting vessels. Gene-
ral Roth has• his head-quarters at Varna. A few
days ago, it is said, that he went with a party to
reconnoitre' beyond Paravadi, but no where fell in
with the enemy, who seems to have abandoned the
camp • at Aidos, which cost such great exertions to
I form. At least this is conjectured to be the case as
the General did not meet with any of the enemy's
outposts as far as Kenga, near Aidos, and only the
deep snow hindered him from pushing beyond Kenga.
The Turks were endeavpuring to strengthen Silistria
by throwing up new ramparts of earth, which are the
chief elements of Turkish fortifications; but they were
obliged by the severe frost to suspend their works,and
they will scarcely be able to resume them before the
month of May. The soil in those countries is generally
in such a it tate,in con se4uenee of the overflowing! of the
Danube previously, that it has not soliditrenough
to erect durable ramparts. Some persons, are of
opinion that the, raising of the siege of. Silistria is
:to be ascribed to the.dilatoriness of General iScher-
, blitow, who at first commanded, and. did not do in
the summer months what was afterwaidtiimpossible.
'lt must, however, he remembered, that' he- had at
:first but a small force; and -that probably. his instruc-
liens went no' farther than the blockade of the for-
-tresses. Since the cold weather has set in the Sick-
ness that prevailed has greatly abated, and there are
hardly any; patients in the hospitals. The . Turks
in Widdip and Grhiurgevo sometimes make unim-
portant . sallies, which are : easily' repulsed by the
CosSackS'and Yagers. - Meantime the most rigor-
ous preparations are making by the Rassian -army for;
the next campaign ; and if the Sultan cannot he its
dueed to make concessions, greater dangers awaltt
him-than he, perhaps, thinks of.

LONDON UNIVERSITY.—Mr. Humphreys
last night delivered, to a very numerous Class, his second
introductory lecture upon the laws of real property. In the
course of his observations he remarked upon the great
change which, in modern tunes, had enabled a wife to
enjoy separate property from her husband, a change which
he described to have been principally caused by the judg-
ments of the Courts, that in this instance had met the
changing circumstances of the times, with an appropriate
alteration in the law.

This periodical has lately changed its political
creed, more from conscientious motives, no
doubt, than from any vulgar desire for lucre—as
all those who change from the ungodly, because
unprofitable side of the question, • profess to
wheel to the " right about," in consequence of
the new light thrown upon them from the Tree-
turyor the Episcopal Bench rather than from
any obliquity in their previous belief. The fact is,
that people never like to acknowledge themselves
in the wrong, while every deviation from their
former line of rectitude is sure to be always in
the right. It is thus with the " MOnthly Maga-
zine."--a work which commenced under the aus-
picious patronage of the improving spirit of the
age," but which, since it has passed into new
hands, would disdain to hold anv communion with
the " march of intellect," while it leaves the
" march of mind" far in the distance. It may
alwa .$ be presumed that when men change their
principles there is something Wrong somewhere,
no matter how ; and this we must presume to
be the case with our worthy old friend, but for-
lorn new acquaintance, who has harped upon a
string as discordant to our honest feelings as
it is repugnant to our invariable principles.--
But let the " Monthly" err with the sudden
changes of the moon :—we shall keep our course
unmoved, challenging the wandering stars of
Literature as to their lawful liceuce for strolling
from their accustomed paths. And first, in this
most essential of all the requisites or pretensions
to character, we think the " Monthly Magazine'
has taken the most unlicensed departure from
the rules of consistency of any respectable
periodical within our remembrance. Whether our
old friend has -been smitten . with an undue
reverence for the " glories" of the Duke of
Wellington, we know not, and we care still less,
hut we think that if the " Monthly" were gifted I
with the second sight, it would not rush so red- I
hot into the arms of ultra toryism as it has lately I
done : and that to the infinite danger of the pre-
mises whose
°safety it was so solicitous to insure.
But there will be fools in literature as well as in
politics, and the now. ultra " Monthly" affords I
but too striking an example—we hope not of the
I fatal effects, but of the folly of the change.
Changelings were accounted but so-so sort (f.
gentlemen in all ages—and changelings from
liberalism to vice—nay not vice—say—even to
virtue--.-because there is virtue in the hope of
gold—yet such changes after all, upon mature
consideration, are but so-so, as the" Monthly"
will ultimately find in its fruitless endeavours to
please " the .PowerS that be."'
If we remember rightly, the last number of
our old friend Was for the Brunswickers, and the
present smells as strongly of the unhallowed
leaven. as its precious predecessor. The first
Paper, headed, somewhat superfluously " Eng-
land and Europe at the commencement of
the Session," is manifestly penned by a man
who has strong political prejudices and nearly
equal powers of expression. It is, however,
despite its vigour of style, from which a poetic
temperament now and then peeps forth, cha-
racterised by inconsistency, false reasoning,
and assumptions untenable for an instant on
any rational principle. There is also an at-
tempt at special pleading about it, as if the
writer were conscious of a weak cause, but was
resolved to make the best of it. Upon what
other principle can the following incon-
sistencies, which are afterwards attempted
to be explained away, be reconciled? In
one place the writer observes, " there
has not been any moment since the close of the
revolutionary war, when the politician would be
entitled to calculate more securely upon the ge-
neral peace of Europe." Immediately after this
we have the following singurarly Irish deduction :
it is a remarkable chaileteristic of the times
,`that insurrection, open or concealed, is in the
bowels of every kingdorretof Europe." The idea
of a writer inferring the'Peace of Europe, from
the circumstance of its being. in a state of insur-
rection, is worthy the ingenious logic of that
ancient warrior who provid that his wound was
large, because it was so small ; or the equally
apposite reasoning of a more modern General,
who wished a certain Question to be buried in
oblivion for the better purpose of 'agitat-
ing it. As the glories of Bruniiwickisrn were
the burden of the last number which marked
in murky characters the change of principle
of an old friend, so in the present we have a
flourish about the weaknesS—tV -imbecility of
Russia—and the overwhelming pcAVer of Turkey,
;(witness the last campaign !) to ie utter dismay
of all who doubt the wisdom ankacknowledged
foresight of the Duke of WellinOon. But his
Grace is not vet out of the wood, and his po-
litical sdmirers had better show a little more
discretion before they halloo so exultingly in
anticipation of his Ministerial victories. If the
Duke but settle the Catholic Question as it ought
to be settled, for the peace and benefit of the
empire at large, we should admire and eulogise
him to the very echo. But we cannot afford to
see virtue in all the Duke's actions, like the en-
thusiast in the present number.

. The second article, " A Reverie," is most pt*'
foundly beyond our comprehension, and we have
no doubt beyond that of the author himself,
when he awakes from that fit of somnambulism,
in which he chalked this " reverie" upon the
.walls of his bed-chamber. It is the most chaotic
piece of irregular blank verse which we ever re-
member to have met with. As the " gifted
Reverist" talks of the world reeling like one in
a " fit of deepest inebriety ;" we trust that the

" Popularity is the Actor's idol. No matter how it be
gained, so that the precious spoil—the golden bough, the
glittering aurens ramus—be acquired. We will close our
paper with a brief, yet striking illustration, of this passion :
it may stand as an index, a finger-post, to the motives of
our subject. A manager—who must be taken as an
Actor, with all his feelings and frailties in the most intense
state of expression, who is, in fact, to an actor, what
prussic is to oxalic acid—some short time since smote, not
a noble 'Venetian, but a famous burletta-writer ; the blow
or kick was more deadly from the place where it was ap-
plied. Our author cited the manager before a justice,
who, however, pursuing the soothing system, dismissed the
parties to debate the matter with themselves. The ma-
nager spoke eloquently in extenuation of the error : the
author still looked sullen. At length the manager hit
upon a golden expedient ; for, drawing up to the modern
Lopez, he exclaimed, in a low, persuasive, yet prophetic
voice, at the same time laying one hand, with gentle signi-
ficance, upon our author's shoulder, ‘ Never mind—never
mind, my boy ; it will make you popular !' "

" Metropolitan Improvements" is judicious and
business-like, and " The Theatres" a somewhat
too minute analysis of the late Christmas Panto-
mimes, remarkable for nothing but its pains-
taking character. " Notes of the Month" arc
the work of a superior hand ; shrewd, inquisitive,
discriminating, sensibly alive to the ridiculous
but, under the showy surface of humour, pos-
sessing a substratum of sterling good sense.—
The following extract, with which we must con-
elude our notice of this, in all but its politics,
instructive and entertaining number, will fully
bear out our opinion:—

" King's College has been as much on the look out'
for a local habitation, as any gentleman that had left his
lodgings.' The discussions, inquiries, and solicitations for
some place of rest to this pilgrim of literature, have been
innumerable, and still no rest is fOutsd for the ' sole of its
uublost foot.'

" It first was to alight on •Higligate-hill, for the benefit
of the air, and then on Hampstead, for the benefit of the
scenery. Whitechapel then wooed its presence for the
good of its circumcised population, who were, on the earliest
opening of its doors, to fOrswear tl4e sale 'of old clothes,
shave their Rabbinical .chins,.and turn converts to the ser-
mons of Mr; Mathias. Then Northumberland House was
thought convenient, as the Admiralty and Foreign Clerks
might step in, between office hours, and learn to spell.
Then the Regent's-park combined all, voices, from the.salu-
brity of the atmosphere, and the exercise of the pupils in
walking from six to ten: milei every morning from the city
to school; but the tigers were there already. Then the
King's-mews, on the strength of a pun of . that very lively
Nobleman, Lorffboderieh, as the native soil of the Metro-
politan Apollo. - Then the site of St. Margaret's, West-
minster,.with the.. double advantage of removing a notori-
ous eye-sore, and studying the memories of great men in the
Abbey. , Then Vauxhall, from its proximity to the more
profligate quarteredlendon; and :the. advantage of plant-
ing such a seminary of purification under the eye of Lam-
beth. Then the site of Billingsgate-market„ with a
simi-
larly double purpose of extinguishing a commercial nuisance,
and of rectifying the proverbial piscatory dialect of that
eminent vicinage. Then Somerset House, 'the taxes-hae...j
ing fallen off, the clerks having been put on half-pay, and
the. Strand and Fleet-street. affording a clear and decorous
promenade for the students. Then the Artillery Ground,
on the strength of teaching the young idea how to shut.
All these plans have been duly considered and rejected.
We understand that the favourite conception, at present, is
that.of establishing this great institution in the Castle of
Dublin; the Castle being vacated by the sinecure govern-
Anent thestlidents to be carried over in classes, by steam-
boats regularly in waiting at Tower-stairs for the purpose :
and the lectures, for greater dignity and expedition, to be
conveyed in balloons,
,to start every half hour With the
newest regulations of principle and costume, from the
Golden Cross, Charing Cross."
