GLASGOW. Nov. 6.

There is at present' a vent 'stir and bustle among
the people employed in loading and unloading the
vessels at the Broomielaw, business having been as
commonly brisk there foe the last fortnight. We hate
not, fora long time, seen the harbour so much crowded
with shipping as at present; along the whole quay
the vessels are lying four, and, in many places, six a
breast. Titis briskness it chiefly occasioned, we be-
lieve, by the great importation of rain from keland.

Saturday morning, about two o'clock, a tail, thin,
church yard looking fellow, was apprehended in the
Oallowgate by the watchmen, having the dead body
of a female child wrapped in a haulkerchief concealed
under his coat. When examined before Balm Smith,
in the Police Court, neat forenoon, he solemnly pro.
tested that the infant was his own—that for some time
past it had been kept by a friend in the country, there
it had died, and that he had gone forth, body oh Psi-
day night, in order to.have it. interred in one of the
burying place% of this city. On the wife of the pri-
soner being sent for, it turned oat that the story which
her husband bad told was a tissue of falsehoois from
bMginning to end: and that, in point of fact, although
they had had fire children,-there never had been a
death in the family, and there were nom of its mem-
bers so young by some years as the Ulf sot which hod
been found in her husband's parses>ion. As the pri-
soner, notwithstanding all this, stilt persisted cid) the
most unbending effrontery in adhering 'to the 'atcoutit
he had given, he was remanded for farther efamisi-
tion.—Yrom at very strict investigation which hastier
been instituted by the Saps/intendant, there can be may
little reason to doubt the shocking fact that the primmer
had pprchased the bcicly Mons some inhuman parent (by
wham the infant appears to have been starred) lot the
purpose of dissection.

An elfin tree, the property of Mr. Goonim,retentlf
blown down at Baty, near Amberley Castle, containing
40 feet of timber, was a few days s;n6 sawed across ire
the midst, when the nest of a tomtit was discovered, is
a perfect state, in which were five eggs, as fair to the
eye as if deposited but a few days. Ihe solid mass Si
timber which enveloped this curiosity mutt be the
growth of many years. No mare could be discovered
of the original entrance. The nest, at the neare t point,
is 5 inches from the outside of the timber.—HoataChraL

match fell upon her pinbefore ; the boy ran out for
