A young man of the name of RYAN, a car-
penter, having been in company with a soldier of the 34th
Regiment, at a public-house in Blnckpcol, on Monday,
and the Litter possessing great taste for theatricals, both
arced to perform Richard the Third. In the fencing
scene the soldier used Ida bayonet, and 11YAN, who repre-
sented Rich»zond, held the scabbard. By some awkward
fatality in parrying, the bayonet passed with great force
into RYAN'S chest, and penetrated the heart..—Cork

EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY.—There is now
living in Liverpool, a woman in her 103 d year ; but the
most remarkable circumstance is, that she has had serving
his Majesty at the same time, nine sons in the army, two
sons in the navy, and two sons-in-law in the army.
Eleven sons have fallen in various actions by land and
sea.—Leanangton Spa Courier.

It would appear that books in certain depart-
ments of literature and science never were in greater re-
quest than at present. Mr. Goon's " Study of Medicine,"
edited by SAMUEL COOPER, was subscribed amongst
the trade last week, when nearly seven hundred copies in
five large octavo volumes were taken. Sir WALTER
SCOTT'S new novel, subs"ribed upwards of four thousand
copies ; and LocEnAnes Lila of NAPOLEON BONAPATE,
between six and seven thousand.

The wife of a weaver at Hindley, ilea, Black-
burn, has been committed for the murder of two children,
of which she had recently been delivered. They were
found under the flooring of the room where she was weav-
ing. 7. Carlisle Journal. _ _

A day or two since, a traveller, in his eagerness
to explore the beauties and wonders of Pendennis Castle
and rock, reached a position from which he could neither
recede nor proceed, and would, in all probability, have met
a watery grave, if it had not, fortunately been for some
ladies, who chanced to approach within hearing, and to
whom he succeeded in making known his perilous situa-
tion, when they immediately procured assistance, and by
the aid of ropes, &c. rescued him from danger.—Fal-
mouth Pocket.

SENSUAL PLEASURE.—The nature of sen-
sual pleasure is vain, empty, and unsatisfying, biggest
always in expectation, and a mare vanity in the enjoying,
and leaves a sting and thorn behind it when it goes ofll—
laughing, if it be loud and higl, commonly ends in a
deep sigh.• and all the instances 441 pleasure have a sting in
the tail, though they carry beauty on the face and sweet-
nets on the lip.—Jeremy Taylor.

The fishers in hauling the net at the salmon
pfxd in the Isla, near Balbrogie, brought to shore the bot-
tom of an old boat, which had probably lain there for a
century. We understand that a passage-boat sunk near
the place upwards of an hundred years ago, in which was
a bridal party. The boat was overloaded. Of the party
all escaped except the poor bride, who was drowned. The
place where the fatal accident happened is called " leg's
Hole" to this day. There is no doubt that this is the
remnant of the treacherous boat, on whit many a fisher
had lost his hooks when fishing on that part of the
Strathmore Journal.

RECEIPTS FOR FASHIONABLE SUPPERS.
—For a simple soiree I recommend some sandwiches of
fowl, of ham, of tongue, &c., some plates of pastry, and
here and there on the table some baskets of fruit. These,
kuliciously placed on the table, with the lights, will pre-
sent an agreeable coup d'ceil, and will cost less by three-
fourths than a very common supper, where the guests are
required to set to work in carving pates, hams, fowls,
aspics, &o. &c., while at a buffet, furnished as above,
neither ladies nor gentlemen need remove their groves, and
an, notwithstanding, satisfy themselves in every way. For
a select ball I would have more variety in the composition
of the articles. Pot on the sideboard, in the first place,
sandwiches of supreme of fowl, sandwishes with fumet de
gibler ; sandwiches of fillots (.Isoies ; sandwiches of salad,
and sandwichea of anchovies, for those who happened to
like them. All these things, made with great care, have
many admirers; and I am confident that, if it were once
customary to adopt them generally, they would never
again give place to those ancient suppers which are only
ridiculous signs of the extravagance and bad taste of the
givers Vde's French Cook, 10th ,Edition,
