SWALLOWS.
TO TIM =MOS OF TOR STAR.

Ste—Having observed in your Piper of to-day a statement
that " no Swallows have been seen on the Coast, and that it is
supposed to be imputable to the boisterous gales from the West,
South-west, and South," I beg leave to state, the Swallows have
arrived at Marlow and its vicinity, the southern part of Bucks,
in considerable quantities, with the Cuckoo and Nightingale.
Probably this information may involve some question in migra-
tion. I am, Sir, your constant Reader,
Marlow, April 30, ion. H. TYLER.

Muniments, Aran. 28.—Swallows were observed on Monday
at Cannonmills, in the neighbourhood of this city, fox the first
time this season.

Talk of the procession of the Royal Mail Coaches!
It was all "nothing, we are told, to that of the Pad-
dington Stages, which, agreeably to annual cus-
tom, took place this mottling, being the morning of
May-day. The whole of the Stages which run to
this pleasant part of the metropolitan suburbs, amount-
ing to twenty-five in number, all newly painted and
decorated, and with horses of the highest mettle, all
newly caparisoned, and decked with ribbons and
flowers, assembled at that excellent house of enter-
tainment, the Yorkshire Stingo, as early as six o'clock
in the morning. Here the coachmen and trumpeters,
every one of them dressed in his gayest attire, and
wearing a gallant bouquet of May-flowers, partook
of breakfast. At seven o'clock they took their de-
parture in procession, headed by two trumpeters.
They went down the road to King-street, along Pad-
dington-street, &c. to Tyburn-turnpike, and thence to
the bottom of Maida-hill. Although early in the
morning, a number of people were assembled to wit-
ness the pleasing scene.
Ft a E.-A n alarming fire broke out on Sunday night
at Cranmore Villa, Herts, the seat of C. R. Muscnove,
Esq. in the absence of the family. The flames spread
rapidly, and in less than an hour it was a ruinous pile
within the walls, and not a vestige of furniture was
saved. A poor boy of the name of Homswoartr,
who assisted in the stable, and who slept over the
kitchen, broke his thigh in escaping from the window;
and a maid-servant, who was in bed at the top of the
house, was seriously burnt in making her escape.
DUEL.—A meeting took place early yesterday
morning, in the fields between Kilburn and Lord's
Cricket Ground. The parties were a Medical Man
and Mr. R—L-1, a Gentleman of lot tune, and the
dispute took place at a Rouge et Noir table. After
exchanging two shots each, the seconds interfered,
and put an end to the affair. Mr. D— sustained a
slight injury in the wrist.
Porr-au-Pattica.--Extract of a letter dated
March 10:—" I have now the satisfaction to inform
you that complete tranquillity has been restored; and
as the soldiers generally did not seem inclined to
support the ambitious and discontented Officers, there
is little reason to fear a second attempt at revolt,
which was fortunately crushed in the bud at St. Mark's
and Cape Henry, and consequently no property was
plundered. The regiments at Gonaives, on the ap-
proach of General BONNET, with troops from St.
Mark's, retired to the mountains. where they were
pursued, and shot when found with arms. Five Of-
ficers from Cape Henry, and one from St. Mark's,
were sent here, and condemned to be shot. I was
present at the execution. Although great numbers
had collected, not a murmur was heard; 41 seemed
to think they deserved death."
