MONTHLY REVIEW.

A well-informed, sedate, and gentlemanly sort
of number, with nothing, however, of paramount
interest about it ; nothing, in short, on which a
Reviewer could hang a remark, except the very
general one of .praise.

IMPORTANT PUBLIC INTELLIGENCE.-
During the storm on Monday morning last, a fine pig,
belonging to Mr. Nesbit, of Sydney-street Academy,
Chorlton-row, was struck dead by the lightning. Another
pig was in the same sty, but received no injury, neither
was any part of the premises damaged.—Manchester
Mercury.

Several persons in the neighbourhood of Lin-
coln have already begun to cut their barley and oats. The
ci'ps of spring corn are in general very light, in conse-
quence of the dry time, but the wheat crops are excellent.
The want of rain has caused a general failure of turnips,
except where they were sown early ; there is however yet
time for them should there come rain. The crops of hay
were good and have been well got in, but from the great de-
ficiency of last year, old hay still sells in Lincoln at nine
guineas per ton.—Boston gazette.

We are not prone to inqu'ire iitto family se-
crets; but sometimes they reach us by odd channels. In
this way we have lately become acquainted with a very
amusing piece of domestic history. The lady of an ex-
under Secretary of State, was so displeased with her liege
lord, for having resigned office and its emoluments, upon
the short-sighted calculation that the Government could
not subsist_ a week without him and his friends, that she
resolved to punish him still further by an exercise of her
own prerogative.' The family upholsterer was sent for—
and the point was settled at once. 'Whether the lady has
since relaxed from— her rigorous decree, we have not heard,
--New Times.
