There are two very distinct spots visible on the Sun's
disc at present. The one is of a roundish form, and
near the kwer part of the eastern edge; the other is
near the centre, and presents the appearance of a long
bent line, with a broader part at one end, and is in truth
like a rough scratch on the surface of the luminary.—
Both may be seen with a pocket telescope, or even an
opera-glass, if a bit of coloured or smoked glass be placed
before the eye ; and one or both will continue visible
for some days to come.

been born in the year 1714. She has had two husbands,
has passed a considerable part of her life disguised in
men's clothes, and was seven years employed as courier
in the service of a Milanese Prince. It is remarkable
that, having become completely bald at fifty, she sub-

nourishment is coffee, with a large admisture of sugar :
it is said that she drinks forty cups per day. She is in

Yesterday afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, as
Mr. Henry Holmes, a commercial traveller, belonging
to die establishment of Messrs. Francis and Carruthers,
woollen-drapers, of Huddersfield, Yorkshire, was pro-
ceeding in his gig, accompanied by a friend, on his way
to St. Alban's, the horse, when near Highate Archway,
soddenly took fright and bolted with great velocity
onwards, and coming at length in contact with a chaise,
which was also going at great speed in an opposite
direction, Mr. Holmes and his companion were thrown
out, and we regret to add that the former falling head
foremost, injured his skull in so serious a manner that
fears are entertained for his recovery. The other Gen-
tleman, Mho we understand is a draper at St. Alban's,
named Taylor, escaped. with immaterial bruises. Mr.
Holmes was carried to the house of Mr. Rhodes,
surgeon, of Highgate, when he now lies in a daa-
germs bide.
