full blossom, for the second time during the year ;a cir-
cumstance very unusual at this late period.

but there is plenty of employment for the wearers, aid
large shipments of linens, &c. are now going on.
There was a solar eclipse, invisible in London, this
day. New moon six minutes past one in the morning,
and conjunction of Moon and Mercury at nine p.
Friday, a woodcock was seen flying about Charlotte-
square. and after surveying the shrubbery, glanced into
the small circle of trees in the centre of the garden.
Last week as Mr. J. Wormald, of Fulford, was shoot-
ing upon his farms at Wistow, near Selby, with his friend
Thos. Smith, jun. Esq. Newcastle, they were agreeably
surprised by spriniting a covey of the red legged par-
tndge, so often seen upon the continent, and bagged
three. It is supposed that these birds were the first that
were ever shot in this county. They have a beautiful
plumage, with red legs and beak, of a larger size than
our common partridge, and were in excellent condition.
A white sparrow was shot last week at Tollerton,
near York; also a beautiful specimen of a hen pheasant
in the plumage of a cock, was shot about eight miles
from this city : bath of which are now in the possession
of Mr. H. Chapman, in Petergate.
At the late Quarter Sessions at Aylesbury, a man of
the name of Spins prosecuted a bargeman named
Hickson for assaulting him. Spier:, who is somewhat
deaf, having stated the circumstances of the assault, was

by Mr. Bligh, who endeavoured to ex-
tract from him that be had given provocation to the
defendant, when the following dialogue took place:—
,Mr. Bligh—Did you not threaten to chop his (Hick-
son's) head off with a hoe? B?iers—No, he did not.
Mr. Bligh—Did you hear what I said ?—(No an,wer).
The Chairman, in a loud tone—Did you hear what was
said to you? Spiers—Yes, Sir, that Gentleman a,ked
me if Hickson chopped my head off with a hoe. The
answer caused laughter from all parts of the Court.
