WESTMINSTER COURT UP RAQUEST S.

_

LuDi.OW KIND,
The plaintif and defendant in this case were both
bird-fanciers, and Ludlow Wishing to make his best par-
lour as vocal as a retired grove, looked over King's
stock of feathered songsters, and at last. fixed his eye
upon a Shabby looking nightingale, but which King
assured him was notbin g but a good one. After much
chaffering, Ludlow bargained for it at 191. King declar-
ing it was dirt cheap at 255. but as the putehaser was
a brother breeder of canaries and other fancy birds; he
scorned to be bard with him. Ludlow mardhed home
with his prize in triumph, fully expecting th his even-
ing hours would be solaced by the sweet and melmcholy
tones of the poet's bird—the bird of love; his wife, too,
who had a little touch of the romantic in her, was very
anxious for such a consummation, as it would renew in
liar mind many of those delightful moments she had
passed with her Ludlow, when wandering by the moon's
pale light, and listening to sweet Philomel. But it was
not to be : the tenant. of the cage was sulky, and all
their snrticipated delight was disappointed. In this di-
lemma Ludlow did the only thing he could do—id est,
.returned the nightingale to King, demanding of him
only 151. of the 19s. thinking that if he allowed 4s. for
the use of the bird, who would not sing, be should act
liberally.
King attempted, in his defence, to spew that the bird
tea; not such at represented, and brought forward as a
witness a cockney boy, to give his opinion about the
I bird ; but, upon being a little cross-questioned, he can-
didly admitted that he did not know a nightingale from
a sparrow; upon which admission, the Court ordered
King to refund the 151. with costs, which he did in-
stanter; and the parties. which is very unusual, went
away, seemingly all satisfied with the decision.

It is in coptemplation of Government to
.give to the
Public the liberty of sending newspapers to the West
Indies on' a :Mall rate of postage. The privilege was
granted to Mr. FILLILING several years back. as priwo
cipal Surveyor, in lieu of a salary of 7001. which situ,
ation and advantages he was allowed to hold, in ad-
dition to that of Secretary, with a salary of 1,2001.
and considerable emoluments. It is understood that
the Treasury will authorise him to receive 70W. out of.
the Post Office revenue as a compensation. - t
FlRZ.—Saturday afternoon, a fire broke oar Ito
premises of Mr. Spratley, lamp contractor, is Long
Acre. It originated by the bursting of a bottle of
essential oil, which communicated to a forge; from
thence to the back premises of Mr. Rackham, coach-
maker, and to the back of the houses of Mr. Page, a
Pawnbroker, and Mr. Staton, a tailor. Wien the oil
took fire, one man, who was working at the forge. was
burnt to death, andtwo were carried to a surgeon's in
Bedford-street, shockingly burnt, and one of them
appeared in a lifeless state. At the pawnbroker's,
the property was hurled into the street, and the whole
was removed before the hack part of the premises, in
which it was deposited, caught fire. Three adjoining
houses were in a heap of ruins in less than en hour.
Five houses on the opposite side of Rose-street were
also destroyed, and the distress to tke poor lodgers,
with large fain:Ves, was heart-rending. A number of
carriages which were an thipremises of Mr. Beckham,
were consumed; and we learn be was not insured to
the extent of his loss. By seven o'clock the fire was
completely eatingnishrd.
A village-fete was given last week to the labourers
and their families, in the employ of his Grace the
Duke of Ilitniono, at Milton DAlntrel, to celebrate the
coming of age of Lord WRIOTH waxy ltusszit., eldest
son of the present Duchess; two thousand persons were
pientifolly regaled us the occasion.
