THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—His Grace
returning to town on Saturday evening, a gang of robbers
made an attack on the trunk, confined in the rear of the
carriage by patent chain braces. The thieves, finding all
their efforts in vain, resorted to a new mode for getting out
the contents ; they bored, with a centre-bit, through the
top of the trunk; but before they 'had accomplished their
object, the Duke's valet, then sitting on the box in front,
heard a grating noise, and leaning over he saw the villains
at work. The valet seized a pair of double-barrelled
pistols, but before he was, ready the robbers were off, and
effected their escape through a hedge.

Owing to the severe illness of Mr. WTALLACK,
Mr. COOPER, the American Roscius, will not this evening
perform Othello..
MISS PATON.--A carious incident occurred
ou Friday night in the concludini scene of " Guy Man-
nering" :—lni the finale, MiSs PATON did not sing the
verse allotted to her ; the performers were consequently at
a .stand still, when Miss P. stepped across the stage, and
having whispered to Miss FORDE, that lady immediately
sang the verse. After the curtain dnwed, Mr. BELLAMY,
the stage manager, came forward, and addressed the au-
dience as follows :—" Ladies and Gentlemen—May I beg
Your attention for a few moments. Miss t'axoN has re-
quested sue .to state the reason why she did not sing the
verse in the finale. She was so ill this morning that she
was obliged to leave the rehearsal ; the verse is not sung in
London, and consequently Miss PATON was not aware that
it was in her part. She hopes, therefore, that the ornis-•
sion will not be construed into any iiisrespect toward the
audience. This apology was receivxdd with applause.—
Bath Paper.

The iron trade continues in a satisfactory state.
No. 1. pig iron sells at 61. a ton, and the inferior qualities
in proportion. The demand for the Irish foundries is
stationary; but good sales of Scottish iron have been effected
in England. This arises from the practice introduced of
" late years in' the foundries of mixing metal of different
qualities together. Welsh, Staffordshire, and Scottish iron
will be thrown into the cupola together, and this amalga-
mation produces a much better casting. For the same
reason Welsh and Staffordshire iron is imported at the
Broomiela.w, that the Scottish foundries may mix a portion
of it with our home-imide iron.—Edinburgh Evening
Courant.
The town of *Falmouth was originally called
Smithick. It afterwards acquired the name of Penny-
come-quick, from the following circumstance, related in
the Panorama of Falmouth :—" A slnirt distance on the
shore, . towards Penryn river, there originally stood a lone
cottage, as a public-house, which acquired the name after-
wards
given to the surrounding village, of Penny-come•
quick, from the following tradition :—That the house be-
ing on the land ofMr. PENDARA'ES, that gentleman (about
A.D. 1550), wishing to encourage his late servant who
lived therein, desired she would brew some good ale, and
that he would come with a party and drink it out. The
landlady brewed accordingly : but lo ! a Dutch vessel put
into the harbour, and the thirsty crew coming to the house
drank up all the ale. On the arrival afterwards of the
appointed party, Mr. PEnnaavxs was naturally angry at
this'disappointment ; when the woman in excuse said,
Why, truly, Sir, the penny came so quick, I could not
deny them.' In 1660, a proclamation was issued by
Charles 11., ordering that Smithick, alias PennyLcome-
quick, should ever after he called Falmouth."

CASE OF A MAN STUNG TO DEATH BY
BEES.—M. F. BERTRAND, a man 31 years of age, and
of a good constitution, was informed that one of his prin..
cipal bee-hives had blown down ; he hastened to the spo(
in a loose' undress, and endeavoured to replace it. He teat.-
immediately attacked by a number of bees ; they fixed upon
his chest and face, and caused considerable pain. He ran
from the spot, but the bees pursued him to the house, and
continued to sting him. They were soon driven away
hut he declared that he felt himself dying, and fell down
almost immediately. He was found by M. C. de LA-
FAYETTE, stretched upon a mattress, !Wei and breathing
feebly and interruptedly. His pulse was scarcely per-
ceptible, and the surface of his body was cold. Fear*
that this alarming state arose from impending Suffocation.
and that a bee might have entered the trachea, the opera-
tion of tracheotomy was immediately performed, but ii
vain, the unfortunate gentleman died almost instantly, ans
not more than ten minutes after the receipt .of the injury.
No examination of the body was made. If such an acci
dent .had.oecurred in our own practices
and we bad had t
contend with the symptoms above mentioned, we should,
without hesitation, have given any diffusible stimulus that
jiappened to be at hand. A.easc occurred. at St. Geotge4i
'Hospital, some years ago, in which the sting of a singh
bee proved 1ata1.....:-Lthicioa 111eaTkul Gazette.
