Wednesday evening a Meeting of the owner, of
•pre
perry in Somers and Camden Towns, woe Place at ti:;
Marquis of Hastings, Ossubton-street, for the purpo4
of taking into consideration the pruptiety ofic.,ntininst
the road, at the top of Ossillston•stteet, sorb Fg-last,
Camden Town, by which there would be" an ailmoß
direit line of communication from Holborn, with ;11,
Great North Road, through Red Lion street, Brunswick
square, Ossulston•stteet, Fig-lane, Camdes

Mr. SWitN was called to the Chair, and shortly ob.
served trivets the-advantages of the proposed.ondertaking
to the holders of property in Ossul&ton-street, and- that
part of Camden Town ahem the road would lead to.
Mr. PORTINGTON, a Surveyor, stated Ihpt the line 0(
road to be formed
_was about 408 yards, and. that tfie
expense of making.a 21 foot carriage way, and a nine
foot path way, would amount to between 4001. end •
.5001. He also stated it to be his opinion that the
Brewers' Company, to whom the ground belonged,
would very gladly give it for the proposed purpose.
Every one present admitted the great advantage to
be derived from the intended measure; and a Conamitlp
was formed, fora twofold purpose, first to met*
whether or not the Brewer's Company had any 0b.%
tion to giving the ground? and, secondly, to cote,*
subscriptions, to carry into effect the object of Op
Meeting, should there be no objection in the quarto
alluded to. The Meeting then separated.

FIMALI PATRIOTISM AND INTRIIPIDITY.-.-14 the
'fight with the Birmans before Proem. three young and
handsome females of superior rank encountered the
British forces with Amazonian courage and resolution.
Two of those Ladies were left dead on the field.-41
Fraunbrunnen, in Switzerland, two hundred and sixty
heroines armed themselves, and fought for ask coup.
try.—A matron named Ohms had three daughters and
three rand daughters fighting by her side; they were
all slain.—The history of Southern and Northern Bri.
fain records the valour of many Ladies and women is
an humble sphere who defended castles, organised
troops, and bled in the cause of freedom. At the battle
of Borough Moor, .a Scottish Esquire, named Richard
Shaw, was furiously assailed by a Flemish combatant,
and-both continued the fight until mutually transfixed
by wounds. On taking the armour irom the dead
bodies, the valorous Fleming proved to be of the gentle
sex. Tradition says she had seen her lover bleed
death by a wodnd from Richard Shaw.
Devrea Wortzs.—there are in the Murgthal, in
Baden, a Devil's mill, a Devirs bed, >w Devil's pulpit, •te,
immense stones, upon which the hand of the Romani
is perceptible. The works of the Romans passed, among
the ignorant barbarians who succeeded them, for those
of the Devil ; as in Switzerland, where everyaing that
appears old, or difficult, is ascribed to the Prince of
Darkness, or to Cesar. Once upon a time, the Devil
standing on his pulpit, an Angel came down on the
Angel's pulpit, in the Murgthal, and drew all the people
from him. Upon this, Satan built the Devil's mill, is
which he made such a devilish noise, that no one could
understand the Angel.; wherefore the Loan shut the
wicked one up in it, and there be is haunting to this
day..--Landon Weekly Review.
HUMANITY OR HIS MAJESTireAt Telget, in Ger.
many, we were informed by the landlord of the inn,
that his dwelling, humble as it appeared, had bees
honoured by having been for several days the residena
of Geonoz IV; for which honour I found he had beer :21
more indebted to accident than design, since one of the'
Royal carriages having been upset, the attendant, be-
bind had been flung off, and one of them severely
wounded. With his characteristic humar:ity. rur So.
vereign ordered him to be conveyed into his tion,e,
alighted himself, and remained there a wbok day. The
circumstance proved a fo: innate one fcr the landlord,
as it procured hie 1,000 dollars. It is unnecessary to
say, theliberality of the Monarch was spoken of in the
most rapturous terms. Even the stains of Hood cn the
table, on which the wounded man was laid on t Bing
brought to the house, were pointed out, and will nu
doubt be carefully preserved as a memorial for his
descendants.—Rae Wilson's 'I ravels in Russia.
