On Thursday a large otter, measuring four feet and a-half
in length, was shot by Mr. Small, near Shiplake Pound,
Berkshire.

Last week, owing to high words which occurred during a
municipal debate, the Mayor of Portsmouth was compelled
to bind over two of the town council to keep the peace.

A large party of emigrants, comprising many of the prin-
cipal tradesmen of Chich6ster and their families, are about to
take their departure for South Australia.
A MATCH FOR JONATHAN.—Tie a sheet of the photogenic
paper to the tail of a kite, and when it comes down you will
have a view of the earth upon it.—Bristol Gazette.
REPRESENTATION OF TYRONE.—The Londonderry Jour-
nal notices a rumour that Mr. Stronge, a radical, the eldest
son of Sir James Stronge, will oppose Lord Claude Hamil-
ton the conservative.

Lord Morpeth on a sudden becomes valiant, and declares
that he will live no longer "upon sufferance." This is pretty
well for the hitherto most obsequious of O'Connell's humble
servants—for the willing slave of the lowest of the low. But
is Lord Morpeth less upon sufferance this week than he was
last ?

A laughable story has been going the rounds of the salons
of Lisbon. It appears that the youthful Queen detected her
husband in the heinous act of kissing one of the maids of
honour, and that losing the dignity of the Queen in the
feelings of the woman, she boxed the ears of both parties very
soundly. However, le Maria has been forgiven.
Lord Durham, in his report, complains that so little care,
knowledge, or foresight has been used in making grants of
lands in Canada, that some allotments have been found to
consist almost wholly of lakes.
MAYNOOTH COLLEGE.—The petition from these boroughs,
against the parliamentary grant to Maynooth College, has
received 14,036 signatures. It was forwarded, on Thursday
last, to Lord Francis Egerton, by whom it will be presented.
—Manchester Courier.

It is hinted that the Morning Chronicle has been bought
by Lord Durham's clique, in order to " write up" his ex-Ex-
cellency for the Premiership of a Radical Cabinet, or for the
Foreign Secretaryship of Lord Normanby's Administration,
provided we should ever have the misfortune to see him de-
puted to form one.

As Mr. Dunn, butcher of Heytesbury, was slaughtering a
bullock on Friday morning, the animal, by some means, dis-
engaged himself from the rope tying him down, and making
a zun at Mr. Dunn, gored him so furiously in the chest that
the horn passed through his side and entered his heart, killing
him instantaneously.—Wilts Herald.
One conservative member is said to have voted the wrong
way upon a late division, owing to not having previously en-
rolled himself in a temperance society. In other words, the
honourable member was Bacchi plenus, and, like his proto-
type, Sir Francis Wronghead, said " aye" when he ought to
have said " no."

How will his admirers among the radicals and chartists,
relish the following opinion given by Lord Durham in his
report? "If the Lower Canadians (says he) had been sub-
jected, or rather had been taught to subject themselves to a
mach greater amount of taxation, they would probably 4
this time have been much wealthier, a much better governed,
a much more civilised, and a much more contented people."
A BROAD HlNT.—Lady Isabella Finch, daughter of the
Earl of Winchelsea, was Lady of the Bedchamber to the
Princess Amelia ; Lord Bath one evening, having no silver,
borrowed a half-crown of her ; he sent it the next day, with
a very gallant wish that he could give her a crown. She
replied, that " though he could not give her a crown, he
could give her a coronet, and she was very ready to accept it."
THE LATE JEMMY WOOD, OF GLOUCESTER.—The per-
sons claiming to be heirs of the late Mr. James Wood, of
Gloucester, have served notices upon the tenants of the whole
of his freehold property, desiring them not to pay rent to
any person until their claims shall be decided, and giving
intimation that they will be held responsible for all rents
accruing since Mr. Wood's decease.—Cheltenham Gazette.
COUNTY REPRESENTATION.—As the enemy is understood
to be in readiness for action, the conservatives of the northern
division of this county have felt it their duty to be stirring :
and at a meeting of the North Lancashire Conservative As-
sociation, held at Preston on Monday, it was resolved, in the
event of a vacancy at any time occurring, to invite Sir Robert
Peel to stand. If the right hon. baronet should decline, we
believe Sir Henry Bold Houghton will come forward.—
Lancaster Gazette.

TOURNAMENT.—Preparations are beginning to be made
for the grand tournament at Eglintoun Castle, to be given by
the Earl of Eglintoun in September next. Among the para-
phernalia of the pageantry, already procured is the splendid
gold and silver carpet that was laid under the throne at the
coronation of our present sovereign, as also other articles of
the same costly character ; so that no pains or expense are
being spared to render the affair the most imposigg that has
taken place in Scotland for many centuries.—Edin. Courant.

Some men are fond of judging everything by what is called
the rule of contraries. Thus Mr. Duncombe, in his speech,
the other night, attempted to make the house believe that,
badly as Ireland had been governed by the whigs, England
had been governed much worse. No thanks to the whigs
that this is not so ; but ten thousand times ten thousand
ought the English to bless themselves that they have not
been cursed with an O'Connell. For once Ireland has a rep-
tile which England is exempt from.

A poor Hungarian shopkeeper, named Rothschild. came
to misery and misfortune. To seek some relief he went to
Vienna, leaving his wife pregnant and nearly starving. A
piteous letter, dated Pest, from her to him, announcing the
birth of the child and her utter destitution, went providen-
tially to a wrong address—viz., that of Rothschild, the
banker, who sent a remittance to the poor woman, and sum-
moned his namesake to say that the new-born should be
taken care of. and his own disordered'affairs set to rights.—
German Journal.

A SINGULAR PAUPER.—On Thursday iast, died in the
workhouse, at Spotland, Rochdale, a pauper named John
Holt, aged 55 years, he had been an inmate upwards of 20
years. At his death was found in his bedroom as many pots
as would fill a large chest ; there were upwards of 20 tea
pots, a set of china, tea services, of the most valuable des-
cription, and almost every kind of earthenware suitable for a
large inn. A valuable assortment of clothing, yet he never
sppeared in anything but rags. He was formerly able to work,
and after earning a certain sum he had the rest to himself,
with which he purchased the articles described. He always
kept his money in small bags, tied to the skirt of his shirt,
which sometimes was very bulky.--Bolton Chronicle.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASTER AND PRESTON
RAILWAY.—An accident, attended with rather serious con-
sequences, occurred on Wednesday last, on that part of the
Lancaster and Preston Railway which passes immediately on
the west side of Mr. Dawson's factory, at Ox Heys, in the
Fylde Road, Preston. The tunnel, which is here construct-
ing, gave way, and buried in its ruins nine of the workmen
who were near and under it at the time. Immediate assist-
ance was rendered to the sufferers, and they were, with all
possible speed, extricated from their dangerous situations,
but we are sorry to add, not without having sustained mate-
rial injury, by broken limbs. They were conveyed to their
respective homes, and medical aid immediately procured.
We are glad to say, however, that there is no apprehension of
fatal results.—Preston Observer.
ANXIETY OF THE QUEEN REGARDING THE FATE OF HER
MINISTERS.—We are informed from a private source, that
such was the anxiety of her Majesty to learn the fate of the
motion in the House of Commons on Friday night (or rather
on Saturday morning,) that the Queen did not retire to rest
until two hours past midnight. One of her Majesty's
pages of the pre§ence was in waiting at the house to convey
to the Queen the result of the division, which reached Buck-
ingham Palace within five minutes after it had taken place.
We believe that the Duchess of Kent did not retire to •her
chamber until the arrival of the information, which was im-
mediately communicated by her Royal Highness to her
anxiously waiting daughter.—The Britannia.
CARICATURES.—H. B. has been busy again. 585 and 586
represent, the first the collision between the Lords and Com-
mons, the Duke of Wellington and Lord John Russell as
dogs fighting for a stick (it should have been shillelah)
marked " Ireland Committee." John Bull is looking on
one side, and O'Connell behind a tree on the other. The
last is Giovanni in London, with the infernal chorus " Turn
him out." The Premier is the fallen Don, and Lords Dur-
ham and Brotigham, Mr. C. Buller, Mr. Roebuck, Mr.
Grote, &c., are the Furies, armed with torches inscribed
Ballot, Universal Suffrage, Canada—the whole hog (Buller,)
Everything (Brougham') Rotollisna (thihata,) make alto.
tether a very spirited group.

MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM EXTENSION RAILWAY.
Mr. POULETT THOMPSON moved that the petitions of the
Earl of Lichfield and Mr. Baxter be referred to a select
committee. The honourable member stated, that there was
serious complaints made by the Earl of Lichfield,-that his
name had been improperly used, and that the standing order
had not been complied with, which were contradicted by Mr.
Baxter ; and he had, therefore, moved for a select comnit-
tee, to ascertain the facts and real circumstances of the case,
and to protect the privileges of the house.
Sir ROBERT PEEL heard with surprise that he had been
named as an opponent to this bill in committee. Re was,
on the contrary, most anxious for the passing of the bill, and
gave his support to the motion for appointing a select com-
mittee.

Mr. AGLIONBY considered the appointment of a select
committee useless. He thought the right honourable mem-
ber had been somewhat rash in saying, that names had been
improperly used by the opponents of the bill in committee.
The irregularity arose from a want of clearness in the stand-
ing orders.

After a few words from Mr. GREENE, the.followinetelect
committee was appointed Poulett Thomson, Sir R.
Peel, Mr. Shaw Lefevre, Lord Stanley, Mr. Hume, Lord
Granville Somerset, Mr. Loch, Mr. Greene, Mr. 4).glionby,
Mr. Williams Wynn, Sir Eardly Wilmot, Sir. James Gra-
ham, Mr. Edward Ellice, Mr. Freshfield, Colonel. Davies. .
