of shutting up the book, in the face of Phu•—sesr,

excellent old comedy, which is but an earlier piri7o OF

the completion of the trilogy—the moral of the, 00,

be paid on the 26th inst. to the Hon. Philip neydell 'eit
verse. The parochial authorities are resolved to let t."Z ,
goods be seized sooner than pay !t. At the same vestry
Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the board, stated that Lord r°a,
man had served upon him a notice of action, in coneequentea
of their surveyor having attempted to remove the PA
erected by his Lordship in Harewood-square. Mr. Peac(4o
said that he would have to pay the Solicitor- General !,
1 guineas as a retaining fee in the action. The vestry
their attorney to defend the action, and, instead of the 542,"
citor-General, selected Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. reac°'"

A RARE CIRCUMSTANCE.—A goose, the propel!,
of Mr. Spink, farmer, of Wentbridge, hatched, during 11 course of last week, seven goslings, which is the second pr°'
dace in one year.
The prisoners in Springfield gaol, who are Car
mitted for trial at the next assizes, some of whom have been
greatlf
upwards of five months in custody, are, it seems
disappointed to find that they are not to be tried before
March, and several of the most desperate among them last
week determined to make a daring effort to fight their way
out of the prison. The governor, being apprised of their
destrie:s:
design, took prompt measures to frustrate it; but on Sunday
morning last the prisoners resisted, and refused to obey
.the
order given for removing one of them out of one 3-erd into
another, putting themselves in open defiance of the prison
authorities. The judicious steps taken by the governor, how-
ever, rendered resistance futile, and the insubordinates wete
reduced to submission without personal violence. Although
some of them were outrageous in their conduct, they at once
abandoned their scheme as impracticable, and have since
conducted themselves in a quiet and orderly manner.--
Chelmsford Chronicle.
IVRECIC—Some days ago, a piece of a wreck, typo"
rently that of a boat, was seen near the north-eastern extremity
of Skye, not far from some drowned cattle which the boat had
probably contained. It is known that the Rev. Mr. Murray,
lately inducted to the church and parish of Shieldaig, Apple-
cross, was about to sail from Harris, with some cattle, a few
days previous. His course lay in the vicinity of the wreck.
and as he has not since been heard of, fears are entertained
that the reverend gentleman was in the ill-fated ve.ssel—la-
verness Courier.
HONESTY REWARDED.—A purse, containing 151.
in notes, which was advertised last week as having been
found some time ago, between Grantham and Gonerby, by a
poor woman of the name of Carrington, has been owned by
Mr. Bradford, of Stonesby. It appears that he lost the
puree on his way to Newark Fair, and on its being returned
to him he very liberally presented the finder with the mum of
