The Plan of this intended Building we. under-
stand ha; been submitted to the consideration of
some eminent Persons, conversant in the System
of
.Prison Building, who are of opinion, that Con-
sidering its size, it will' be, when finished, not only
unique in point of Classification and Inspection,
but .superior in most respects to the generality
of our National Prisons. It promises, from the
slight view we have had of the Plans and Eleva-
tions, to be a very complete and a very handsome
Building.

tormentarian Society, on Monday last, was'very
fully attended, and much science was displayed
by the best !shots, Messrs. T. Dotchin, Dolle,
Playfair, Belville, Burman, S. Dotchin, Fish,
Riviere, and Captain Forman, when the latter
Gentleman gained, by
,a smart superiority, the
prize, an elegantly-worked powder-horn, richly
ornamented with solid silver : he hit 33 shots
out of 15, three of which were bulls'-eyes, at the
dime several distances of -200, 250, and 300
yards, half shoulder and half rest ; the target

six inches.
SHOCKING Ev'ENr.----A Coroner's' Inquest was
held on Tuesday last, at Newton St. Cyres, on
the body of a child that had been killed by a' pig.
It appeared in evidence that the mother, a poor
woman, went to Exeter Market, leaving her three
children (the eldest about five years old, and the
youngest, the unfortunate sufferer, about a year
and a half) in a field at play. During ' her ab-
sence, a pig was seen mangling the. child in the
hedge-trough, and when it was rescued from its
dreadful situation, the .voracious animal had
eaten off the ears, and horribly disfigured the
. arms and one of the sides, but life was not ex-
- tinct ;, the poor child, however, survived but a
few hours, The JUry returned a verdict of—Ac-
cidental Death.
