Orders have been received at his Majesty's
Pavilion at Brighton, to have the Palace in readiness for
the reception of his MAJESTY' by the 10th of the present
month.

THE EARL OF ERROL.—We are concerned
to hear th.q this much esteemed Nobleman has been ex-
tremely ill since Monday morning, having been suddenly
attacked by violent pain and inflammation in the ear and
face, which occasioned his being confined to bed. We un-
derstand his Lordship got considerable relief yesterday from
the bursting of an abscess in his ear.—Dublin Morn. Post.

TnE KlNG.—Although no day is positively
fixed for the Royal departure to Brighton, there is no
doubt his MAJESTY will quit the Royal Ledge for the Pavilion
about the 20th inst. and every preparation is made for the
SOVEREIGN'S reception. His MAJESTY has discontinued his
daily visits to Virginia Water. Last week the Royal
marquees erected for his MAJESTY'S aquatic pleasurable
entertainments were struck. The magnificent furniture
was chiefly conveyed to Cumberland Lodge ; the marquees,
.with all their appendages and hearings, were returned to
the Tower. All the pleasure-boats, &c. are likewise
housed for the season.—Berkshire Chronicle.

The following memorandum was written in a
Bible, now in the possession of a family at Rishton, near
Blackburn, for the purpose, no doubt, of recording the
period when the manufacture of calico was first intro-
duced into this country:—" 15th Sept. 1776, TH9SIAs
Duxituair, of Rishton, near Blackburn, sold to Messrs.
PEELES, YATES, and Co., Church Bank, two common-
fine calico pieces for 51. 9s. Srl. These were the first
calico pieces ever manufactured in this kingdom." Pieces
of the same description are now sold for about ss. 6d. or
6s. each.

Amongthe numerous distinguished personages
who, during the last few days, have passed through this
town, and stayed at the Lion Inn, we have noticed his
Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, on Sunday, on his
tour to Wales ; the Bishop of MEATH, yesterday, for Ire-
land ; and Lady EMILY Ful,nzbia, on Wednesday, for
Aldridge.—Wolverhampton Chronicle.
Several farmers it the neighbourhood of
Tauntt.n have been growing Connr.rx's Indim corn with
the greatest success.—Bath Herald.

In the course of a journey one day last week
from this city to Taunton, the horses of one of the coaches
were obliged to be pulled up five times, by the crossing of
pigs on the road, and twice by donkies rolling in the
middle of the highway !
The new mail coach road west of Chard has
cost the Trustees upwards of 6,0001., of which there is
no ascent more than 1 in 18, except for about a furlong,
where it is under 1 in 15 ; and it is considered to he the
most important work of the port. except Crackmore hill,
in the West of England.—Bath Herald.

Wednesday evening a fellow who got up on
WHEELER'S Frome coach, contrived to rob it of a gentle-
man's trunk in the following manner :—After pretending
to be tipsey and annoying the passengers who were behind,
he succeeded in compelling them to get inside. On
arriving at Beckington, he managed to remove the
trunk to some of his companions who were waiting on
the road, and then effected his escape without being
observed. The proprietor of the coach, on the loss
being discovered, used every exertion to apprehend
the :thief, and, with the passengers, returning on
the road, found the fellow concealed in a waggon. He
was immediately taken into custody, and conveyed on to
Frome, where he again escaped. His pursuers, however,
followed him with a cry of " Stop thief," and on passing
the Black Swan a woman rushed out, and after a desperate
struggle, in which both fell to the ground, succeeded in
detaining him ; the poor woman had her band dreadfully
lacerated. The prisoner was then conveyed before the
Magistrates for examination. The value of the trunk is
estimated at 201. —B ads Herald.

The Fish market at Billingsgate has been
most abundantly supplied with Corl-fish within the last
three or four days, the take of this species of fish having
been greater than recollected fur a long time past. The
Salmon season has concluded, and on the whole has been
a good one. The Salmon fishery in Scotland terminated
on the 14th of last month, but by special Act of Parlia-
tnent for regulating the fishery for Salmon, Berwick-upon-
Tweed has the privilege of continuing the fishing for Sal-
mon for ten days longer. This privilege, it is said, tends
much to lessen the supply of Salmon as very early after
the day fixed upon for the general suspension of fishing in
Scotland the female fish is full of spawn, and, upon a
moderate calculation, by destroying every such fish, the
breed is decreased one thousand. The supply of fresh
herrings is small to-day ; Yarmouth herrings, bloaters,
are now in their prime. The Oyster season, as far as it
has proceeded, has proved very abundant. It is now un-
wholesome to eat Salmon, being in spawn.
REMARKABLE ANIMAL ATTACHMENT.—
A few days ago a coursing party, on the borders of Shrop-
shire, after a successful morning's sport, returned home,
bringing with than several hares, amongst which there
was one considerably more bulky than the rest. This
circumstance suggested to the gentleman to whose share it
had fallen the propriety of opening it, when two living
leverets were taken from the unfortunate dam. Thus far
all was right enough ; but how to provide subsistence for
the young strangers was the next question, and this in-
volved a difficulty not to be disposed of without resorting
to an extremity which would, if possible, have been
avoided. The cat had just kittened, and nothing less than
the destruction of her litter seemed to offer itself as the
probable means of affording the continuance of life to the
young orphans. The deed is done—and puss mews, and
walks, and looks for her own young family in vain.
The new one, however, is introduced to the notice of
poor bereaved grimalkin. No, no ; this won't do ;
they are not her own offspring, and she looks with
coldness and indifference at first ; but soon symptoms
of uneasiness are felt, and, induced by the redundant
milk, she approaches nearer the young leverets with
" cautious steps and slow," and, after much hesitation,
finally afforded maternal nourishment to the young intru-
ders, to the mutual gratification of the donor and reci-
pients. This singular and newly farmed connexion took
place on Wednesday, the 16th inst., and the tender offices
of the nursery were-satisfactorily and usefully performed
during the two following days and nights, when a very
unlucky and untoward event broke up the compact which
had so auspiciously commenced, and dissolved the fa'nily
ties in final
ffi separation.

fostering care of the cat, the young hares were found the
next morning so weakly and cold, that the warmth of the
kitchen fire and other " appliances and means to bout,"
sufficed not to restore them to their previous vigour ; they
died, and poor puss, in the course of three eventful days,
lost both her own and her adopted family.—Liverpool
Cowrier.
