~tarin . •
g "I.e s reign of ALEXANDER, was robbed of a snuff-
anz
of very considerable value, and, like a prudent man,
lf Mentioned the circumstance to the EMPEROR, hinting
liars that he should not easily recover it. It is well
h. 7 °W that he publicly spoke of the lax state of the Russian
riee, comparing it with the French. The EMPEROR
l'ke to the chief of the police, and a few weeks after the
r°l4erY, a Nobleman, holding a high situation in the police,
• Palled on the Ambassador, and remarked how erroneous
hnia Excellency was in his opinion, saying, " Here is your
' Snuff box," 1%1 am very glad to see it again," said his Ex-
• eellency, " and I shall trouble you to return it to me."
No," said the police-officer, "we have a number of forms
to go through before this can be returned ;" in short, such
number, that the Ambassador never got it back again.—

* ; A SLEEP WALKER.—EarIy yesterday morn-
-111 the inhabitants of one of the old tenements in Mound-
rhaetsrere alarmed by learning that a man was asleep on

to, get near him, front the dangerous situation in which

reiderable difficulty reached the place where the

e• Ceet security, though within a few feet of the outer
f;_ge of the slates. He was then awakened—a rope

LoComoTioN.—On Tuesday afternoon an
!z.Periraent was tried on the Bolton and Leigh railway,
with a locomotive engine constructed by Mr. ACKWORTH,
attl the
of result far exceeded the most sanguine expectations
• that gentleman. He had never entertained the idea
!hat the engine would ascend the inclined plane, which,
hot the
was accomplished in about 3i minutes, the dis-
-s'snoe being upwards of three quarters of a mile, and the
tZt one yard in thirty. On its arrival at the top, a
fic"ler of waggons were attached to it, these were instantly
„;,d With persons, and the engine was likewise covered
Passengers, amounting to at least one hundred in all.
ith this load she proceeded at the rate of from sixteen to
iig„hteen miles an hour. After leaving the coal waggons,
er9"eded at a rapid rate to Chequetbent, where Mrs.
ri Yvrell and a party of ladies were in waiting to take a
n
„ Bolton down the inclined plane : when they had
1 • about one half of the journey, a wooden
Plug, which had only been partially secured, was blown
nut
the Whole of the company, with the engine, were
"'n'Y enveloped in one dense cloud of steam. The
ladies were a little alarmed, but on being informed that the
circumstance arose from negligence and not from accident,
bUt e,,pref,ased their willingness to complete their journey,
' sir tne engine was unable in its present state to go on.
• ladies bad expressed a wish to go at a moderate pace,
` -4d to this may be attributed the forcing of the plug, in
sequence of the steam being so confined. A delay of
att
„, hour and a half was occasioned by replacing the wooden
upr, with one made of metal, and refilling the boiler with

B EFFECTS OF MUSIC ON PUPPIES.-4, On
.4turtlay week I was presented with a remarkably fine
Vting whelp (about four months old), of the terrier kind ;
41!• wits remarkable (if I may so expiess myself), for his
h arPneas and sagacity, and always called a sensible dog,
Ltholieelned so well to comprehend whatever was sail to
r• I reside very near the Old Church ; and on Sunday
;ening last, there was rung at this place a peal on the
I , they were half-capped, that is a peculiar kind of
AttnlieF peal which is extremely melancholy to hear.
at the time they commenced ringing, the little animal lay
it, feet by the parlour fire; he had been quite well
th"ng the day, and must have heard the bells ringing for
• 121(!roing and evening services, but I did not
wl'ei'v that they produced any effect on him whatever ;
11e r strange as •it may appear, the very instant
' 117 Lheerd the melancholy tone of the bells that
hegut" he' assumed an aspect entirely different;
fiiirerned struck by their sound ; he looked up most wist-
-1 p„,s7; he trembled at every jointhe ran about the
'wpm though he was mad. I took him on my knee and
••*o7vaured to pacify him, but it was quite in vain ; he
ptti 'atenot be
restrained. Poor thing, I never saw a more
object ; his howlings were really dismal, and his
:7e% streamed down with tears. He certainly looked the
wonie picture of sorrow. To be brief, he became evidently
l
a and by the time the peal was finished ringing, lie
• hZie,!'d and dead ; where, but a short time previously, he
a'. , heed running about, diverting us with his gambols.—
, t itotentioned the circumstance to a respectable surgeon of
Zatlnaintance who expressed it as his opinion, that,
d '''°ut doubt this was a case of extreme sensibility of the
