We hear a very valuable discovery has been made in the
property of Lord Poltimore at Northmolton, on the borders
of Exmoor, of a very rich copper mine, the ore of which
abounds with a large portion of gold. It is said the ore is of
the purest kind, found in large bunches, and that pieces of
gold of some size have also been met with.— Western Times.
The Duke of Rutland has given the princely sum of £lOOO
towards the funds for restoring thevenerable church at Bake-
well, Derbyshire. The other subscribers are the Duke of
Devonshire for £5OO, Mr. William Evans, M.P., £lOO, and
the Rev. H. Dudley Ryder £lOO. The church is well known
to all tourists in that county, and has long been the admira-
tion of antiquaries. It is the oldest sacred structure in the
county.

N THE HUMAN BOD

Llopitau.v contains a very important letter from M. Co_
nerbe, of Verteuil, in the Gironde, in which he states that
the discovery of arsenic in all human bodies was originally
made by him, and not by M. Orfila ; and that the latter has
acknowledged it. He also shows that a considerable quan-
tity of arseniate of calcium exists in the .bones, and also,

that the more the body become
the arsenic extracted from the fl
a body. He was one of the physicians who declared that

putrid, the more easily is
:shy and muscular parts of

Laffarge was not poisoned and he now adduces the start-
ling fact, which M. Orfila has admitted since the conclusion
of the trial, that the peroxide of iron given to M. Laffarge
as an antidote to the arsenic he was supposed to have taken,
did itself contain arsenic at the time of its being purchased ;
and that all peroxide does so, more or less. He infers that
M. Orfila's proceedings at Tulle, in the case of Madame La-
farge, were pure charlatanerie ; and he shows that the con-
clusions of this chemist and the others, as to the arsenic in
M. Laffarge's body having been given him, are perfectly
erroneous, the arsenic being no more than what is in every
body naturally.—Literary Gazette.

SINGULAR OPERATION UPON AN Ox.—About 12 months
since, a man at work on the farm of Mr. Pinchin, of Over-
ton, threw a paddle at an ox which was working in the field,
and nearly severed its tail. The wound was dressed, and
about a fortnight after the accident Mr. Jacob Ballinger, a
farrier living at Leekhampton was called in, and found that
mortification had ensued up the loins, beyond the hip bones.
He succeeded, despite the predictions of the " faculty" in
stopping the mortification, and removing the tail, and the
four following joints of the spine ! The animal recovered,
was fatted up, and killed, and niade, says the owner, " a
famous piece of beef." The joints are in the possession of
Mr. Kitsell, druggist, of Cheltenham.—Gloncester chronicle.

SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF ENGLAND.—The children of
the Sovereigns of England (says Chamberlayne) are called
the sons and daughters of England, because all the subjects
of England have a special interest in them. The eldest son
is born Duke of Cornwall, and as to that duchy, and all the
lands, honours, rents, and other revenues belonging there-
unto, he is upon his birth-day presumed, and by law taken
to be, of full age. He is afterwards created Prince of Wales,
and tile investiture was formerly performed by imposition of
a cap of state and coronet on his head, as a token of princi-
pality, and putting into his hand a verge of gold, the emblem
of government, and a ring of gold on his finger, to intimate
that he must be " husband to his country and father to her
children." From the day of his birth he is commonly styled
Prince of Wales, and numerous other titles are usually be-
stowed upon him by letters patent. Edward 11. was the first
English prince who bore the dignity of Prince of Wales, and
he was born in Carnarvon Castle, April 25, 1284.

THE NEwc A STLE ERDER.—it will be recollected by our
readers, that Fowles, the man now in our county gaol charged
with the wilful murder of Malta Keeling, made a statement
implicating a travelling fiddler from Manchester, in the hor-
rid transaction. The police both of Newcastle and Manches-
ter, have since the period of Fowler's apprehension been on
the look out, as some other facts connected with the case
required clearing up. On Saturday last, Inspector Cock rain,
of the C division, Manchester police, apprehended the SUE-
pected party, and immediately communicated the fact to the
Newcastle police, but unluckily, the letter did not come to
hand until 10 o'clock on Monday last. Mr. Cotterill, the
chief police officer, under the direction of the mayor, and ma-
• .

, ....
gistrates, proceeded by the one o'clock train to Manchester;
but, on his arrival, found that the tiddler had been discharged,
in consequence of no reply having been sent from Newcastle
respecting him, the magistrates acting on the supposition
that the letter despatched on Saturday would reach that town
on Sunday. From inquiries made in the proper quarters, it

. ,
appears that a letter posted at Manchester on the evening of
Saturday, would till lately be forwarded by the six o'clock
train at Whitmore ; but,_under the present regulations, it is

forwarded to Stafford, and returns at noon on Sunday. There
being, however, no delivery on that day after noon, will ac-
count for the delay of the letter in question. The ureseni

case must, we think, completely Drove that such a regulation
is very injurious to the public i) ight forthwith
to be altered.—Staffordshire G

terests, and c
zctte.

CuAsE EXTRAORDINARY.—On Tuesday week, the Bar-
low harriers threw off at Droufield Hill Top, and shortly af-
terwards found a hare, which run several rings thereabouts,
and then started for Cowley, closely pursued by the pack,
two hounds keeping her in view on the road. Puss, at length,
being sorely hampered, looked out for a place of refuge ; and
the door of William Thorpe's cottage being open, in she
rushed, hoping thus to elude her pursuers. The two hounds,
however, were not to be baffled thus ; but, before the " gude-
wife" could close the door, in they darted, when, thinking
she had enough of company, the " missus" clashed to the
door. Puss scampered about in every direction, and so did
the hounds, upsetting the chairs and tables, and playing the
very deuce with the crockery. After performing wonderful
things in this way, to the dismay of the mistress of the man-
sion, puss bolted up stairs, to the sleeping apartments ; and,
of :course, after her went her remorseless pursuers. The
scene which had taken place below stairs was reacted above,
where utensils of every description were upset and smashed
to pieces ; but after a world of shuffling, and doubling, and
yelling, and squashing, and smashing, escape being i►npossi-
hl

" Gurgled in death, 'mid the groans of the foe."
All this time, the rest of the pack, were besieging the house.
endeavouring to get in at the windows, several panes in which
they broke ; but, notwithstanding all their efforts, they wer
not in at the death.—DerGyshire Chronicle.
