Monday, a bull attacked a boy named Cant, who had
the charge of some cattle, on the Links of Monifieth, and
killed him on the spot.
Thursday afternoon a shocking accident occurred at
Dalrymple Place. -A fine boy, about eight years of
age, named Robert Lawson, the s of.a mason residing
there, whilst arnuting himself by sliding on the railing
of the hung stair, N 0.4, overbal4nced himself, and was
precipitated to the area, from a height of about five
stories, his head being almost literally dAshed to pieces.
On the night of the 21st ult. ihd farm-house of Tip.
petty, parish of Fordoun, was entered by o.* of the
windows, and wearing apparel, plate, &c. carried 4 ff,
to the amount of I:40. A few nights after, an outhouse,
belonging to the Rev. Dr. Leslie, Fordoun, WAS broken
into, and several small articles cart ied off.

Daring Divine Service, in the afternoon of Sunday
last, the inhabitants of I. tnatk were alarmed by the
ringing of the fire-bells. The Churches emptied, and
upon arriving at the Cross, the cloth-shop of Dan'el
Reid was discovered to be on fire. The work of de.
structioa had been nearly over before the alarm was
given. The goods in the shop were all more or less
injured. Fortunately the fire was confined within the
shop, and little damage is done to any other part of the
building, except one toom.
ICtigo's THlATftft.WAureliano in Paimira
was again performed on Saturday evening. Veu.oxfs singing was
very fine, especially in the second Act, where the music is pathetic.
Mad. Bomar and Cucuta were also very effective. It being his
Matures birth-day, the National Anthem was sung with some
degree of novelty—Madame Boman and Signor Mitt giving the
first and second verses, and the third being sung by Bosun and
VSLLUTI, with very good pronunciation. The whole excited much
and deserved applause.
The following performers have been engaged at
Drury-Line Theatre for the ensuing season :—Nlevirs. BRAHAM,
Satan, and Linos ; the two Misses Tare, from Bath, Miftc-5 of
Mrs. BRADSHAW, are added to the vocal department.

A navigatoi of the name of CAWTHORN WAS king.' on
Friday in a
.pugilistic &mint, with Warsanousc, a sawyer, in a
barge on the Guildford river. The match, which was for ten
sovereigns, was fought more than half an hour in a geld, doge upon
Guildford, when an interruption took place ; but determined to
fight it out the parties went several miles to the barge, or rather a
large lighter. The deceased bad the best of figining and death was
occasioned by a blow.
The new Tunnel has proceeded about sixty fee: from
the shalt under the bed of the River'; a solid blue clay
being as yet the only soil the workmen have met with.

Smoutan DeATII.—A poor man, named Prickett,
having a wife and ten children, was killed last week at
Carrington, under the following curious circumstances :
he was on horseback, carrying a bottle of ale to some
Labourers, when the cork flew out with an explosion_
the horse took fright, the man was thrown and thus
lost his life.

Monday, in the park of the Eul of NORTHAMPTON,
near Olney, the head•keeper of his Leirdship, named
Longstaff, fired at a deer, and the slugs palled through
the animal's head. ole of them, which, it is supposed,
rebounded, then struck an unJer- keeper under the right
eye, and wounded him so dangerously that little hopes
are entestained ut his life.

It is proposed to establish a Register Office, where
the pait.cularirespec ing children lost or found will be
recorded, and which will be a central point of commu-
nication with other stations that will be appointed for
the same purpose, in different parts of the metropolis.

100,000,000; since 1808, tracts have been printed in
forty-two languages ; and the receipts during the past
year, in England and America, amount to 1,600,000 dol.
Ast Winnturitro PuaucArs.—A knowing looking
rustic, apparently a northern, went into a public-house
in Rush, a few days ago, where he entered into convey
savors with the landlord respecting the crops, dm.—
Dui ing the discussion of these topic:, our hyperborean
friend contrived to discuss a fair portion of ham, and
some mild ale, and three cool tumblers. On rising to
depart, he shook Bonitace heartil by the hand, ex-•
pressed his regret at not having change enough about
him then to discharge the trifling bill, and added, " that
on his return from Dublin, he would call and settle the
account." Our host insisted on prompt payment, which
the oti.er again declared his inability to comply with;
but finding the landlord inexorable, he at' length drew
.from his breast a small pocket Bible, ind tendered it in
pawn for the amount. Bonilace was still inflexible, and
swore he would not take it. "Ah, my friend," said the
northern, lim not now surprised at your refusing to
take my word, when I see you so obstinately bet on re.
fusing the word of Goa."---trisAinen.
There is ao place more easy to get into than the
'Court of titianCery, nor any place from which It b more difficult to

MANSION DOUSE.

The man who called himself lanes ekijorift. hot who now did not
deny his name to be Creeder, was brought up for re riaminatlon.
It will be recollected that the prisoner tendered a Si. !firming.
. ham flank note for a suit of clothes, but, the note being found to
be stolen, he was taken into custody. Ills defence was, that he
received it front a person in the streets, in payment for some goods
sold by him.
The Lona Maroc refixed to believe this story, and said he
should commit the prisoner for having the note in his possession,
and uttering it, knowing it to be stolen.
Mr. Humphries, who attended for the prisoner, declared that
such a commitment would be illegal. He denied that the prisoner.
had committed any offence • and contended that the notes, having
been stopped payment in London, were no more than so mucb
waste paper. That being thus valueless, no felony was committed
with respect to them, and that it was no offence within any of the
statutes to utter them.
The Loan Mavens expressed himself of a decidedly opposite
,opinion, and declared that he should commit the prisoner. Some
deficiency in the technical proof occurred, and the prisoner *as
remanded that it might be supplied.
Ills Lordship expressed his surprise that, after tie repeater
heavy losses the Bankers sustained by sending par:els by stage-
coaches, no arrangement was made with Government to send tbens
by the post. He entertained little doubt that Government would
make an arrangement, and that it would be highly to the advantage
,of the parties.

Two watermen were summoned before the Lola Alarms; the
one ft,r making use of abusive language, the other for extorting
more than his fare from the pas angers of a steam-hoat.
From the statement of the complainants it appeared, they are
mechanics, who bad gone a trip in one of the steam-boats, with
their company. On their return at night, they were charged by
the waterman dd. each for landing, or ts. for each boat-load of;
eight. This the complainants thought exorbitant, and they had
suiriegut spirit to bring the case before the LOAD 11Iavott. One of
the defendants began to call the party "lousy scamps," and said
they could be notbing•but a set of thieves to behave " in that 'ere
shabby manner," and ;award them to be treated in such a manner
as few persons, for the 'sake of a much larger sum, would venture
to encounter.

The Leah bhiost fined the waterman 10s. and costs for abuse;
and awarded the complainaot, out of the fine, the value of his day's
work, that he might not be a loser by his laudable conduct in
bringing the case forward.....Watermen, his Lordship added, would
find it their interest to be neither so insolent roe so extortionate to
the passengers of steam-boats.
