Fou.—At a very early hour last evening a dense fog
visited the metropolis, and continued without inter-
mission the whole of the morning.
It is stated in an middle from Lisbon; of the 23d of
October, that the French frigate Thetis, of 44 guns,
from Brett, had entered the Tagus the evening before,
and that four other French ships of war are daily ex-
pected there.
The whale fishing vessels belonging to Dundee have
this season been particularly successful. The united
cargoes of the Liar vessels will amount an about 1,800
tuns, which, with the fins, have been estimated to be
worth between 60,0001. and 70,0001. staling.
In the Churcf:es of Dat tzic, while the hymn which
closes the Service is being sung, the Clerk goes round
to receive contributions for the poor. Ile has a small
velvet bag suspended at the end of a long cane, toff
which a bell is attached. which he jingles in ti:e ears of
these whose meditations prevent their noticing his ap-
proach.
Auntie A N STORT.—Thtie is another snake story, the
relater of which was almost as valiant among those
reptiles as Sampson among the Philistines. " I killed*
a hundred of them." said he, " in a few minutes, each
ai large as my leg." g• Ido not dispute it," ri plied his
f knit, " but w• he better satisfied if you would fall
a snake or two." " There were ninety, lam sure."—
"S iy fifty." .4 No. I can't. lam convinced there wete
seventy-five, and I'll not bate another.snake to please
any man."
lissaticsTs.—A Gentleman, a native of Banffshire,
who died in London in the month of June last, has sunk
in the Navy Five per Cents. the following sums, the in-
terest of N which is to be applied to the subjoined bene-
volent purposes—namely, the interest of 1,0001. to be
given to the Inch pendents of Aberdeenshire, to be ap-
propriated in such a way as a Committee of that body
shall di em most adapted for the spread of the Gospel
in that con. ty ; the in eie,t of 400/. t.r be given to Bible
and Ti act Societies; and the interest of 600/. to be given
to itinerant I'ieachers of the Burgher persuasion, for
spreading the Gospel in the county r f Banff.
A spiritual vii an., as was supposed, for some days
lately afforded a subject of wonderment to the natives
of the port of Leith. Ina house in tl.e Kirkgate, th to
were he ird the ni st appalling and tineartilly noises,
succeeded by the tumbling about of at t.cles of furniture,
after which a m me.ttary calm woulJ ensue; but ere
the inmates could set all to rights, the uproar would
recommence with iricteased vigour, yell followitig ) ell,
and crash succeeding oast), till codusion was worse
confounded in the devoted domicile. rridat sennight,
being the high festival of spit its, witches, &c.(HalloWeen),
the Leith ghost is said to have exceeded all former ex-
ploits. Thee cantrips, it is hardly necessary to add,
omitted (luting the night; and when a neighbour,
more venturous thin wise, volunteered his service to
assist in laying the e oblin, he received a sound having
from an invisible but
.powerful arm. We have heard
that ghastly advice was called in by the alarmed in.
mates, but without effect; for while two Clergymen
were engaged in devotion, they were assailed by a
shower of missiles, one of which, a table knife, stack
into the floor cl )se by them ; but this of course needs
confirmation. Certain it is, however, that crowds col-
lected around the house where these doings were going
on night after night, and the attention of the police was
at length directed to the subject. These guardians of
the night were nut t', be frightened by deeds of darkness,
like ordinary daylight mortals; their preience soon
laid the spirit, while their sagacity shortly discovered
the mischievous goblin in the per son of a female member
of the house. who, in conjunction with a professor of
the conjuring art, had been endeavouring to practise
