HAMM AUG. 13.—For some days past unpleasant
reports have been in circulation, respecting contagious
disorders said to prevail in Groningen. It is said, that
fevers have shown themselves chit fly among those who
have been engaged in agricultural labours, and they are
attributed to the drinking of brackish water, which,
since the floods in February, 18'24, has spoiled the
springs. If the accounts we have treeived be correct,
270 persons have been carried off by these fevers, from
the 7th of July to the 7th of August. The Government,
it is said, has already adopted all measures that can
contribute to check the disorder.

A singular circumstance took place in Cardiff Church
on Saturday morning. While the Curate was perform-
ing the marriage ceremony for two young people, the
bridegroom behave' so indecorously, that the clergy-
man was under the disagreeable necesssity of reproving
him. This not having the desired effect, and the man
being found unable from intosicalion to repeat his troth
as required, the Curate found himself bound to stop •
the service, and dismiss the couple unmarred. A pre-
cisely similar occurrence has taken place in the same
Church within the List six months.

Monday, we saw in reality 01 a drunken ass." Poor
old Neddy bad strayed up the Hcrse and Rainbow yard,
Kendal, and had a mind to taste James airker's home-
brewed, whieh was set out in the coolers. After a hearty
pull or two, he staggered out of the yard, and fell, like
many another drunken ass, and there he lay, like a
drunken beast as he was, helpless, stupiled, and inca-
pable of any exertion. His Fellside master, on coming
to look at him, said with an oath, •• The ass is none
drunk, but only acting the old soldier."— West ntorei.pa
In the Recorder's Court, Dublin, the other day, a
medical student was sentenced to six weeks imprison-
ment, for striking Mr. Barker. The assault was pre-
cipated by a quondam female acquaintance of the of-
fender, in company with Mr. B. refusing to shAke hands
with him, because he had pinched her at church !
Sunday evening, during the performance of worship
at the Anti-Baptist Chapel, in King-street, Canterbury,
the preacher was disturbed in his discourse by a number
of soldiers belonging to the depot, in a state of inebria-
tion, who had previously been quarrelling with a party
of men employed on the rail road. The preacher was
under the necessity of suspending his discourse. The
assistants of the Chapel were deterred from interfering,
lest it might have the effect of creating greater uproar,
and bringing their noisy brethren into closer contact.
At last, after the congregation had sat in trepidation
some time, the soldiers commenced the sung of

* 0, 'ti. love, 'tis love, 'tie love,
That makes the world go sound ;
and then departed, hallooing and !looping in a most
disgraceful manner.
