A MAN OF VAIIIiLY.--A decent highlan(k‘r
in Badensch called lately upon tile minister of the parish,
and making his bow, hoped " that Mr. would look
in at his house some day and christen a fiza bairns for
him."—" A few bairns!" "exclaimed the minister,
" what way is that to speak, Donald ; how many hare you
got?" " Why sir," replied the other, "'there were three
when I left the house, but I canna tell haw many there
may be siace."—lnverness Courier.
The severe frost which has at length arrived
will, at least, deprive the public of one head of informa-
tion with which the papers have teemed during the late
mild weather—namely, the account of the rose-trees,
the apple-treesi &c. which have been in full bloom until
lately. • 1

On Saturday last, a peace-officer from Cork,
!odged a prisoner in the gaol of Clonmel. Mr. Vowel,
;he Governor, called at the hotel, and on being handed
pen and ink, to give a receipt on the Government order,
remarked that the bottle was deficient of ink as his gaol
was of prisoners—only 28 being:confined, such is the quiet
state of the county of Tipperary,—Cork Mer. Chronicle.
HERRING FISHERY.--A letter from Dieppe
contains the following, relative to the herring fishery
For the last eight days the boats have been prevented
going to sea by the tempestuous weather. During the sea-
son, up to the present time, about 89,000 mesures of her-

mouth, in Norfolk, is 8,110 barrels, which, at 450 francs
a lint, yields 304,650 francs. For several seasons the
herring fishery here has not lasted more than 15 or 20 days.
The fish have been fine, but the quantity small. This year
the fishery has lasted much longer; and it has been ob-
served that the herrings, instead of taking a direction to
the west of Dieppe, for England, have kept along the
French shore. Within a few days a great quantity have
been taken at St. Valery en Cain and Fecamp. The sea-
son is not yet finished, -but the tempestuous weather has
prevented the boats going to sea. It would be well for the
trade were the seasons limited, for, at the latter part of it,
the fish are always of a bad quality,
SPANISH SCENERY.--Above our camp (at
the attack on San Sebastian), a little to the east, towered
the gigantic montain La Rhune, from which descends the
lesser chain, betwixt whose termination and the sea lies
the great pass to Bayonne ; and, in the opposite direction,
that of the far-famed Roncesvalles and Puerto del Maya.
On a beautiful October evening I ascended a tnountain im-
mediately above the camp, and I shall never forget the
glorious scene which expanded around me. 1 stood among
the rocks and hills which overhang the 13idaseoa, the river
which forms the line of division betwixt Spain and France.
Seen from these heights it appeared like a thread of silver
winding among the glens beneath, auctstretchiog away in
long serpentine mazes to the sea below Fontarabia. On
the one hand lay the boundless plains of France, wateied
with many streams, and sprinkled with chateaux and vil-
lages, and on the other the -Ad and variegated scenery of
Spain, with its romantic towns gleaming in the distance.
To the west the ocean spread like a sheet of fire beneath
the descending sun. Around me were a congregated train
of mighty hills, toweling over roc-As and ravines, anti
mantled with fneeta, then touched with the waning tints
of October; while the more distant and gigantic 'mutt.
tains were covered with snow, but flushed to a rose tinge
in the glow of the evening sky.—Malcolm's Remiaiscenses.
About a month or five week: ago, a little.
poodle bitch was observed loitering about the Infirmary
pond, in Manchester, and nary and then sending forth a
howl, such as a dug generally does when confined. This
circumstance excited some notice, and as the bitch coutinue
ed to do the same thing for earns days, crowds of people
were continually collected about the pond. About.twelve
o'clock on Saturday last, something was nineteen floating
in the pond, the drags were immediately procured, and tks
body of a female was taken out. The body was removed
into the Infirmary to await the Coroner's !ivest, which
took place accordingly on Monday forenoon, one of the
porters of the Infirmary stated, that he toile the body out
of the pond on Saturday last ; it was on the side next to
Piccadilly. The house-surgeon stated, that be had opened
and examined the head and body of the deceased, and that
there was not the slightest marks of violence, nor any ap-
pearance of poison in the stomach. The deceased lie sap_
posed to be about twenty-two years of age, and. she wee'
several months gone in pregnancy, The body had been
three or four weeks in the water. The bitch, 1044 ha&
been sold to a gentleman, near Oldham, was beenght into
the room where the body lay, but did not give . any signs of
recognition. The assistant-constable Stated, that he hit

ROMANTIC ESCAPIA OV A FRENCH GAL-
LICY Seave.—Peter Irket, mate of a trading vessel, was
recently trie4 anti Ooovieten in France on a charge of
piraciy, and sentenced to the punishment of death, which
was afterwards commuted to twenty years' imprisonment
to the galleys. On passing through the town of Morlaix,
CM his road to Brest, he determined to escape, and the
means by which he effected his purpose are very curious.
He began by causing a violent dispute and quarrel in the
prison of Morlaix where the criminals were lodged 'be

Antoctous, OUTRAGE.—,A Family of the
name oftl(.t.ison, consisting of two aged brothers, and two
salso advanced in years, reside in a lonely place, in
:itels:*g
tapa'rish of Huntly. The brothers had 2001. in the
hands of the late Duke of Gordon, and were to receive pay-
ment at the bygone term. The brothers sleep in an out-
house, and the sisters in the dwelling house. In the dead
of the night, the door of the nut-house was forced open
by two men armed with large sticks, who demanded front
its inmates their money or their lite. The brothers 're-
sisted to the utmost of their power, and a desperate strugOe
ensued, in which one of the brothers bad two of his ribs
fractured, and the other was also much wounded
and bruised. The sisters, in the dwelling-house, he.,rd
the noise of the struggle, and rose to go out to their
brothers' assistance, but were unable to get out fits
some time, owing to the assailants having secured the
door by a stick and piece of rune outside. At last they
overcame that'obstacle ; and one of the sisters having Best

%ream ago, and was unable to render any assistance to her
brothers. One of the two men had " a raaunt" in his
speech ; and from that and nt4er circumstances, two young
