iujuries.

A meeting of the inhabitants of the town and
neighbourhood of Hull has been convened by the Mayor of
that place, for the purpose of considering the propriety of
petitioning Parliament against any further concessions to
the Roman Catholics. The meeting will be held at the
Guildhall, on Monday next.

DISSOLUTION OF U'IIE COAL COMBINA-
TION.-The Combination, or vend, of coals at Newcastle
and the neighbourhood has fallen to pieces, in consequence
of the seceding of some of the principal coal owners.
They had previously limited their sale of coals according
to the extent of each pit. Immediately on the dissolution
of this Association coals fell four shillings per chaldron at
the pit's month.

The Judges on the ensuing Western Circuit
will have to hold an Assize at Southampton—a circum•
stance which has not occurred for the last 25 years.

TA VISTOCK.—The illibcrals of this town have
also got up an address to the Throne, at a miserable and
contemptible meeting. Were it worth our while, we
could give such information of these meetings, as would
sink them still lower in public opinion than they are at
present; but that is unnecessary—" parcere sulilectis" is
our principle.— Itlcstern Times.

HUNTING !--On Friday week two fine foxes
were traced into Lustleigh Cleeve, by some labourers ;
number of sporting fanners assembled from the adjoining
parishes, about a hundred of them armed with guns, and
surrounded the spot from whence the gallant Reynardo
were unkennelled with tremendous shouts, and as quickly
destroyed by the discharge of the musketry. A demand of
10s. a bead was afterwards made to the Churchwardens for
the destruction of the varn►ents, and as an incentive to
propagation of geese ! (Oh ! the Hottentots.)—Cork
Constitution.

A SENSIBLE SWINE.—A brewer in a cer-
tain town in the North had lately an animal of the swine
tribe of uncommon fineness of symmetry and appearance.
He seemed conscious of his own attractiveness ; and, al-
most every day, he was seen exhibiting the beauties of his
shape and size on a promenade, in the neighbourhood of
the place, where all the other fashionables of that good
town were wont to recreate. It happened, however, that
the quadruped had his own besetting weaknesses; and
when certain operations of the brewery brought periodi-
cally to his share some of the good things of potent nature,
the Corinthian boar got tipsy. But the sensible beast had
a feeling of the degradation be thus brought upon him-
self ; and let the day he ever so fine, or the promenade
ever so brilliant, he would never be found among the com-
pany when he had exceeded at the inebriating trough. He
skulked among the darker lanes and closes, tnd fairly
shunned all observation and notice.—lnverness Courier.
Since the fishing season commenced, only one
clean salmon (weighing 201b5.) has been taken in the Isla.
The fishermen have caught numbers of unclean fish, which
they return to their native element. Four were taken at
one haul of the net lately, aml some ploughmen who were
looking on exclaimed, "Eh ! sic fine fish." Their
astonishment may be conceived, when they saw them
thrown back into the river. One clown, scratching his
poll, cried out, " L—d, Johnny, ye're surely daft." Ac-
customed to the black fishing system, a " kelt" is in their
opinion as good as a salmon fresh from the sea.—Strath-
more Journal.

During the late snow, a singular fact occurred;
which displays the taming power of hunger over the' litq,
animals which are then shut out from` 'even their slender'
subsistence. When A. iinbeiteun, the post-runner, was re-
t4ning 'fr.= Polmont, he observed a long-tailed field mouse
(uius Sylvaticus Liu.) peep out from a wall upon Mum-
vill-bridge. Throwing a little bit of bread to it he was
pleased to see the little creature venture familiarly out, and
sit up erect eating the morsel greedily, holding it 'ta ;ore
paws. A gentleman, who at th?.. ri-,c414.n4 was pltaisilig'in 'a

ETTRICK SHEPHERD AND DUKE OF Buc-
CLEUCH...--It is generally known that the Ettrick Shep-
herd pursues the business of sheep farming; atl4 tb9,o
6' Hogg on Sheep" he a very popular treatise, we regret
.0 find that Hogg wide Sheep prospers not quite so well as,
his friends could 'Wish. He rent a farin of about 004
per annum on tbe ample domains of the pow of tioe,
eleoeh, and liberal as was the at and is the present Duke,
fingg's farm is unconscionably high rented. In a conver-
sation which his Grace had lately with the Shepherd, he
regretted that his farm should be so dear—a sentiment
which found a ready response in the breast of the author
of " Kilmeny," who testified his acquiescence bz
his bead, shrugging up his sl7-;',Aea, 44Q, 44 Dili; nog;,":.

'We had a moderate supply of Wheat from the farmers
to-day, and having few coasting arrivals sales were more
ready, on rather better terms than last Saturday, particu-
larly for the finest samples. Of Oats the supply was
large, and the sale slow at last week's prices. Fine Barley
still sells readily, but in the lighter parcels very little doin
Malt dull sale,—only fine Rye in any demand,—l.
