TIIE SLEEPING PEAIITY !—Margaret
Lyell, el the town of Montrose, the'youag woman of
whose extraordinary somnolence an account has ap-
peared in some of the papers, though not a beauty, is
•a pleasant-lotiking girl, about 22 years of age, dark
comploxion, and rather limier the middle stature;
generally healthy, but hal a slow fever same months
agi. As she is triw awakened, and.h.ts a prospect
of returning health, we present this very singular oc-
currence in a cnnneeted narrative.

The most intelligent witnesses •crimined Isy the
Committee on the stare of Mendicity in the Metro
polis, are unanimously of opinion, that the most effec-
tual remedy of the growing evii is the early education
of the lower orders.

Margaret Lyeil had been fir come tilee.in the set.,
vice of a cl'rgyman, who, with his family, removed
to Dunniaaid for a short time during the summer
season, for Vie benefit of sett-bathing, where she ac-
companied them.' A day or two before being over.
taken with the drbwiiness, her manner was remarked
to be rather hurried .and agitated, but iin.:econipailied
with any complaint °rill' health. On Jane Tith,
she awoke about two in the morning, and, after bleed-
ing freely at her nose, tell asleep, and so continued
till June 30th, at five it afternoon, being a period
of 63 hours. Whin awoke, she complained only of
a weakness, took sonic releeshment, remained in bed,
and was f,'und in the same somnolent state nextmorn-
ing, July Ist, deprived of all sense, and totally de-
void of motion, with her jaws so clenched, as to ren-
der force necessary to open them, whin wine and
water was sparingly administered. In this state she
remained till July 7th, when her power of swallow-
ing remirned,and her jawc,liithertoclosed, now opened
freely ; but no food was given her till three.days after
—broth, bread, &c. were then occasionally, but
sparingly, given her.
• When ti,e power of swallowing returned, her left
hand regained motion ; if bread was put into it, and
•put to her mouth, she ate it very slowly ; but the
hand remained in the same position, unless put back,
after the bread was consumed. Bleeding, blistering,
sudden immersion into cold water, snuff, and spirits
of bat tdiorn, had been applied to her nostrils ; her
:013:1 had been punctured so as to bring blood, and
divers other means had been used to arouse her, but
in vain; yet during the whole time she retained a
he:tiding' appearance, her breathing was. ci.y, and
/malting, in appearance, distinguished her from a per-
son in ordinary sleep, her pulse generally being about
.50. She remained in the above state down to the
afternoon tit -the Sth inst. when some appearance indi-
cated that she was not altogether unconscious of what
was is ansacting beside her.. Her father having read a
portion of Scripture, asked if she heard him; to which
she faintly answered, yes. Her eyes remained closed

Cafaaeawst.t. Fitit.—This annual scene of amuse.
ment commenced yesterday, according to custom, on
Camberwell Green. In consequence of the excellent
arrangements made by order of the Magistrates, toil
fair presents a picturesque atpearance. The booths
for the bale of toys, sweetmeats, and trifles, form a
distinct avenue, removed from the noise and contusion
whicbgenerally pervades the space allotted for swings,
and the exhibition of wonders. In the course of the
day, a number of Ladies, with the juvenile branches of
genteel families, came SO purchase trifles for their
young friends.
If we did not live in an age when events which
would have been considered wonderful in former
times, have long since ceased to be so, we might be
allowed to express some surprise at the Scheme of
the Lottery, which is to be drawn next Thursday.—

teties which contained four times that number ; bur,
AS we observed above, we must not wooden. at any
thing in these wonderful times.

The Mite of NORFOLK was a second time nomi-
nated Mayor of Gloucester, on Monday last. His
Grace afterwards presided at a grand dinner given by
the Corporation: shortly after the cloth had been
removed, and while the.company. WAS in the highest
state of conviviality, Mr. Srerumns, th. banker,
whilst singing a song, fell from his chair and in-
stantly expired I This melancholy event naturally
threw the whole room into confusion, and the aim: m.l
bly soon after separated.
