WILD DUCKS.—An immense flock of these birds flew over
city, on Monday "night.—Bristol Standard.

It appears by recent return to parliament that the hop
plantation cultivated in 1838, covered an area of 56,323 acres.

Accounts from St. Petersburg, of the 25th of August state
that the harvest has failed in the Southern parts of Russia.
Silk Handkerchiefs, a la Van Amburgh, are now selling at
Paris, representing that celebrated tamer of animals and his
wild beasts.

LORD GLENELG.—We learn that Lord Glenelg is prepa-
ring to leave England with the view of residing two years in
Germany.—lnverness Paper.
A provident loan and marriage society has been formed at
Paisley. Money, husbands, and wives, from the attendance,
appear to be much wanted in that cannie town.

We are happy to be enabled to state that the Lord Bishop
of Exeter is quite recovered, and is now continuing his visi-
tations and confirmations in Cornwall.—Western Luminary.
The Hon. Edward Jerningham, we hear, is still suffering
in some degree from the effects of the accident he met with
at the Tournament. The scratch extended from the wrist
to the elbow,—Standard.
TELEGRAPHS.—The erection of the line of telegraphs
from Hull to the New Sand Light vessel is completed, and
it is proposed to open the establishment for public communi-
cations in the course of the next week.

Bankruptcies, especially 'of booksellers and printers, have
recently become so frequent in Paris, that upwards of eight
hundred compositors and pressmen are thrown out of em-
ployment.
THE SEA SERPENT AT OUR OWN DOOR.—George Bell,
Esq. one of the boarding officers of this port, on Thursday
morning, about nine o'clock, being out with a boy in his•
boarding boat, about half a -Mile from the Western Sister,'
(not far from Whale's Back Lighthouse,) saw about 120
yards from him, passing in a western course, the Sea Ser-
pant, moving at the rate of two miles an hour ; he appeared
to be forty-five feet long ; his head was slightly raised above.
the surface, appearing in the form of a pickerel's head ; three
bunches were visible, one in the middle of the body, and the
others within ten feet of the head and tail. Two men in
another boat were near the serpent, and they estimated its
length at 100 feet. Esquire Bell is an old pilot, and is per.:
fectly acquainted with all the common sea animals on our
coast, having spent a life of 78 years on the water or on the
rocks close to the sea. He has, moreover, up to this week,
been a 'sturdy unbeliever in the existence of the sea serpent,'
and rather sneered at the account of him in last week's
Journal. He is convinced now, and like a worthy old gentle-
man, has come forward and given his testimony.—Ports-
mouth (U.S.) Journal.
MU. POULETT TUOMSON'S APPOINTMENT.--The greatest
discontent continues to prevail among all classes with regard
to the extraordinary appointment of Mr. Poulett Thomson
to the governorship of Canada. After sending thither Lord
Durham, who was in Russia a mere tool of the Autocrat, re-
ceiving from the latter costly presents of marbles and green
feldspar tables, which the Emperor alone is allowed to pos-
sess, our excellent ministers now replace him with a Russia
merchant and free trader, who is well known to have been
the great enemy of Canada, and of whom a correspondent,
writes to us as follows :—" It is notorious to every person,
except, perhaps, to Lord Melbourne (who, when he is asked
any question in the House of Lords, generally answers that
he does not know, but will make inquiry,) that Mr. P. Thom-
son has been continually urging the member for Hull to bring
forward measures in favour of the Baltic trade ;" those
measures being of course directly opposed to the interests of
Canada. Well may the merchants of London, of Birming-
ham, and Glasgow, petition against the appointment. A cer-
tain house at Moscow may send their corn, grown in Russia
and Poland, from Hamburg and Dantzic to Canada—unship
it there—reship it—and send it to England as Canada corn,
paying only ss. per qr. duty. This has been done before—
as Mr. Poulett Thomson knows—and may be done again ;
even as he kndws also that corn has been sent into England
from Guerney and Jersey, exceeding tenfold the quantity ever
grown in those islands, until the British farmer was so cheated
that a bill was at length, in very shame, brought in to check
the gross and notorious fraud.—Brighton Gazette.
