business.

An omnibus of a very superior description
commenced running to Greenwich yesterday, from the
Royal Exchange: A person named Ls PLASTRIER, a

In the memory of the oldest man living there
has not been so bad a turnip year as the present ; yet we
have seen some Swedes, grown at Horringer, upon the
land of ARTHUR BROOMS, Esq., of an unprecedented size,
weighing, with the top, full sixteen pounds each. Five
of these turnips will nearly fill a bushel measure ; six will
more than fill a bushel.—Bury Herald.

A BONE FOR JOHN BULL.—Report from a
high quarter in this neighbourhod says that the Emperor
of RUSSIA has been graciously pleased to offer the Com-
mand in Chief of all the Russian Navy to our gallant

We believe Sir A. B. KING has been invited
to resign the Patentee Stationership. He is offered com-
pensation in money paid in band, or a pension for life.—
It is said he has intimated his wish to receive an equivalent

A SAINTED MEDICINE.—At a shop in
Poole, amongst the other patent medicines sold, Dr. So-
LANDER'S Sanative English Tea may be procured. A
gentleman one morning recently sent his servant for a
packet of this, and on arriving at the shop, the girl asked
with the greatest naiveté for a packet of " the sanctified
tau ."—Dorset County Chronicle.
LAUDABLE EXAMPLE.—We are informed
by Mr. R. CHAFFEY, of Thornconibe, that he has just re-
ceived an order from E. B. PORTMAN, Esq., one of the
members for this county, for 550 yards of woollen goods,
which are intended for charitable purposes, and are to be
made entirely from materials of British growth. This is
an example, which, if more generally followed, would tend
to create a greater consumption of British wool, and thus,
in some measure, give a stimulus to one branch of our agri-
cultural interesta.—Dorset County Chronicle.
This week the new road from Listowel to
Newmarket, of twenty-five miles long, made at the sole

covered.—Lincoln Mercury.
On Monday night, at ten o'clock, a remark-
able phenomenon was seen at Boreham for the space of
above half an hour. Small meteors, like streaks of white
light, were observed in the sky to the east, and exactly at
the time the clock struck ten a beautiful meteor, or ball
of fire, the colour of which was deep red, descended in
the south-east, snaking a hissing noise at the same time,
and leaving behind it a train of sparks several degrees long.
—Chelmsford Chronicle.
One of the innumerable instances of sound
sense, combined with extreme vulgarity, related of a ce-
lebrated surgical character, is as follows :—A very delicate-
looking young lady, about 18 years of age, with a waist of
about ten inches in circumference, applied a short time since
to Mr. ABERNETHY for advice. She described a difficulty
of respiration, loss of appetite, weak digestion, &c. Mr.
ABERNETHY listened to ber with souse degree of patience.
When it was finished, he thundered out, " Go, Miss, into
the next room—unlace your stays, and walk a dozen tunes
up and down the apartment." The young lady, terrified
at his look, did as she was bidden, and went into the ad-
joining room, loosened one or two ligatures of her stays,
and walked up and down the required number of times.
On reappearing before the sage, he asked her " how she
felt?" to which she faintly replied, "a little better."—
" Only a little better : return, Miss, to your room, unlace
the remainder of your stays, and walk 14 times up and
down, and then come back to me." The young lady
implicitly obeyed the mandate, and on the question being
again put to her, " how she felt?" she answered, " Much
relieved." "No wonder you should feel relieved," re-
joined Mr. A., " for know, Miss, in that diminutive space
you confined six and thirty yards of gut, therefore, how
could you feel well?".— York Chronicle.
