A WAG, in body long confin'd,
While nought could check his free•boric mind,
• AS length had been &cohered t
A fi lend observing he grew fat,
“ Why wonder' cred the Wag.." at that—
" All know that l's ealarid,l"

Nothing can be more satisfactory than the accounts
which continue to be received fro'm all parts of the
appearance cf the approaching harvest.
It is asserted that the Arch• Duchess, Princess of
.Brazil, is to leave Florence on the 10th of July, to
embark at Leghorn. It is said that her Imperial
Highness has written to this effect to the Archduke
Francis, her brother.

A jothneyman tanner, reeding in Long•lane, Ber.
mondsey, was yesterday morning committed to
Horsem•mger-lane jail, charged with nearly severing
his wife's lievi from her body, with a knife used in
his profession.

The Public remember hearing of LYNCH'S house
and his family, at Goose Lodge, in the county of
Louth. There were nine persons murdered. One of the
incendiaries, Divaae, was apprehended at the Custom-
house Docks, by the Dublin Police. He was tried on
Monday, at Dundalk, and convicted on the clearest
evidence, and when sentence had been passed upon
him, he confessed, in open Court, event circumstance
connected with this homble catastrophe. His ac-i
complices, eighteen in one committal, and several
others, were to be tried on Tuesday, but we have not
heard the result.

Wednesday evening three young men took a boat
at Millbank and went to the Red House, Battersea,
where they remained drinking till ten o'clock at
night, and got quite intoxicated, in which situation
they took the water to return home. As they were
rowing down the Thames one of the young men, named
Sharp, a goldsmith, about 25 years of age, sat on
the side of the boat, it oversee, and he was precipi-
tated into the water ; another young man, named
'Layton, saw Sharp drowning, and reaped into the
water to render him assistance, and he being an ex-
pen swimmer kept his head above water ten minutes;
the young man who' remained in the boat was so au-
pified with liquor that he tculd not row the boat to
their assistance. Sharp took hold of Layton's leg,
which induced Layton to strike from him to save
himself, as the boat was getting a considerable dis-
tance front him ; he found there was not the least
chance of saving his companion, and therefore swain
after the boat. Sharp sunk, and the body is not yet
found ; the other two got to the Bank in safety.

se'nnight, as the Exeter mail was ascendirg Dunker.;
ton-hill, near Exeter, a young man, an outside pas-
senger, desired the coachman to set him down, as he
perceived his father (a respectable farmer in appear-
ance) walking up the hill. His wish being complied
with, upon his accosting his parent, the latter called
to a man who was trimming a hedge, and immedi-
ately secured his son, wham he charged with the
commission of a robbery in the lower part of Suirser-
set. It appears that searchfiad been made for the,
