poor people in the neighbourhood of Stamford-bill, was charged With

porker, before he deserted his family, was in the regular habit of re.
ceiving half a vines a week from the parish funds, and after he had
left them in the west deplorable condition, the family was allowed
14s. per week. About a year before his detection, the Parish Officers
were called on by a woman in deep mourning, who said, Mr. Beck_
Ingham was her brother, and that he had lately died, and had been
buried in St. Luke's, and, therefore, the Elvish might save itself the
trouble of making further inquiries about him. From that time tilt

him the use of his house, where he held meeting;, at which be ful•

the precepts of religion. He there again ingratiated himself into the

A singular equipage has been seen for the last six
months in the streets of Munich. It is a calash drawn
by two enormous wolves, which M. W. K. formerly
a merchant at St. Petersburgb, found very young in a
wood near Wilna, and has so well tamed that they have
all the docility of horses. These animals are harnessed
exactly like our carriage horses, and have entirely lost
their ferocious instinct. The police have only required
that they should be muzzled. M. W. K. parades the
city in this equipage several times a day, and always
attracts an immense crowd.

An Irishman, some years ago, attending the Univer-
sity of Edinburgh, waited upon one of the most cele-
brated teachers of the German Bute, desiring to know
on what terms he would give him a few lessons? The
fiuteaplayer informed him that he generally charged
two guineas for the first month, and one guinea for the
second. " Then,- by my fait," replied the Hibernian,
" I'll come the second month."
