It is not generally known that Professor Puss();
whilst at Eton School, wrote " a Tragi-Cornic•Opera-
tical Farce," called Out of the Frying-pan into the Fite,
which was acted at the College by the Psofes:or and
his schoolfellows, among whom was the piesent D.
GOODALL. The whole performance is in familiar veise,
'and the songs, which are numerous, ale written to old
tubes, after the manner of Tke Beggar's Opera. They
are full of epigrammatic point, and that peculiarly
severe sarcasm which distinguished all the Professor's
writings and cunversation in after life. PonsoN him-
self personified the character of Punch.

and spreading of stones on the roads; the labourers of
these villages, not approving of this beneficent act -of
the parish surveyors, rose in a body on Sittirday, and
drove the poor Hibernians completely out of their pre-
cincts; and in the night between Saturday and Sunday,
Mr. WM. MALTBY and Mr. JOSEPH Moons, the Gen-
tlemen who had compassionately set them to work, had

the throats of two valuable sheep cut, by incendiaries.
