it , Catigiirli EXIIMITION.

M. CoattlLLoT, pupil and successor of the cele.
braced PINETI, yesterday evening attracted a flume.
roils and respectable audience to %tittles.% his Illustra-
tiolis of Experimental Philosophy and Chemistry,with
feats of Legerdemain, at the Kin ' • rms, Coruhill.
Among the numerous Wu -which he enter-
tained the worthy Citizens, twn which de iet I e
particular notice. The first, gin a.rick Al ;aids,
placed on the table, into three live-frogs ; the second,
the transformation of an egg, put into the pocket of
one of the company, into a tame pigeon ; both of
which drew on him the well merited approbation of
the astonished spectators. At the conclusion, he as.
nounced the pert ormance for repetition on the ensuing
Wednesday, with considerable additions.
SI VIS, POPES.

Where there's a will, you're pleas'd to say,
A man may always find a way;
I would you'd make the fact appear,
For here, in jail, I've been a year,_
And, tho' my will is very stout,
No way I find of getting out !

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East
India House, when CHARLES MILLS, jun. Esq. took

We hear that Mr. HOME is to be in Aber:l:Tit next
week; and that preparations ate making to pay him
some mark of respect.—Aberdeen
We cannot but feel much for the persons whn have
been discharged from the lloyal Duck-yards and other
public institutions. Many of them are heavily bur-
dened with families, and thrown upon the world with-
out resource, after indulging thc reasonable hope and
expectation that national economy would direct its
attention to higher objects, which may adrni: of pro-
per reduction, and not condescend to trespass on hu-
manity, and expose humble and useful industry to
indigence and desperation.
The General Turnpike Act, passed during the last
Session, completely sets at rest the question of Dis-
senters being exempt front paying ton on Sundays,
when proceeding to their usuai places of worship.
The Act states (section 32) that tolls shall not be ce-
manded or taken "of or from any person or persons
going to or returning from" his, her, or their usual
place of religious worship, tolerated by law, on Sun-
days, or on any day on which Divine Service is by
authority ordered to be celebrated."

A Mr. ABRAHAM BLESSING is a candidate for the
next Legislature of Maryland. The Baltimore Tele-

►n want of a Blessing in their State Legislature.
Sir HENRY BUNBURY, Bart. has sent a circular to
his tenantry in Suffolk, recommending them to ab-
stain from the use of thrashing machines, during the
ensuing winter. The occupiers of land in the parishes
of Merfield and Marle:ford, in order to keep the L
bourers employ ed during the winter, have announced
their determination not to use any thrashing machines.
A numerous Meeting of Hoxne Hundred has agreed
to a similar resolution.

IRELAND.—We (Carlow Post) are sorry to find that
outrage is again beginning to raise its head in an ad-
jcining county. Nye did hope that the late cala-
mitous visitance of the South of Ireland might have
had some effect upon the country at large, by sllew-
ing the evil consequences which always attend such
practices ; but we much fear-that the people who
thus allow themselves to be exercised in every vice,
can only be effectually cured by the most exemplary
puniihment : the following extract of a letter J., om
Baltinglass proves the fact :—" About one o'clock on
Friday morn'nl last, the coach-house belonging to
General Saneers, of Goldenfort, near Baltinglass,
was maliciot sly set fire to, and totally consumed,
together with some adjoining out•o@'ices, and all
therein. The loss on this occasion is estimated at
several hundred pounds."
A few days ago one of the Rifle Brigade,quartered at
Kilfinny Common, near Adare,was attacked in a most
brutal manner, by a fellow armed with a scythe, who
rushed out of a public-house, and cut him so that his
life is in danger. The owner of the house has been
committed to Bridewell until the perpetrator be knot%
Friday night Patrick Redmond accompanied Tho-
mas Blood to his residence in Patrick-street. On their
arrival Blood, being in a state of inebriety threatened
to shoot his wife, and- for that purpose took eown
a loaded pistol which had lain on the chimney-pie.e.
Redmond, to prevent him putting his threat into
execution, attempted to wrest the pistol from him,
when, unfortunately, his humane interference occn-
sioned the pistol to go off, and the contents (small
shot) lodged in his thigh above the knee, but we
arc very happy to add the wound is not considered
dangerous. On application of the police to ltedmon.!
to give information, for the purpose of having 131-
arreste3, he refused, saying he knew it was
accidental.

PETIZIFACTION.—AII elderly Gent!eman,wh9 late:y
died in Fayette County, State of Kentucky, previously
to his death requested that his daughter's remains
should be disinterred and placed by the side of his own.
His daughter had been buried about eleven years, is
the County of Bourbon, Kentucky. Alter his decease,
the old Gentleman's request was complied with. Ta
the great surprise and astonishment of those erg iged
in raising the daughter's remains, her body was
found to be entire, and of its full size. On a minute
examination, it was found to be pet fectly petri-
fied—its specific gravity w,as about the same as that of
common lime-stone. The coffin was entirely decayed.
Her countenance had undergone so small an altera-
tion that her husband, it is said, on-beholding her,
Lainuid.—American Paper.
