When a Chinese wife is enciente, the husband hires a musica
'band to entertain her, that the infant may be of a harmouiou
disposition. In Europe, ladies in that situation are sometime
said to give themselves airs enough, without any such assistance

It is rumoured that her Majesty will very sho►tly honour the
Master-General of the Ordnance and the officers of the Royal
Artillery with a visit at Woolwich, when there will be a review
of this distinguished corps, and a dejeund given to her Majesty
and suite at the barracks.—Mar►►ing Herald.
It is said, that his Royal Highness the llake deNemours will
be the bearer of a superb bouquet in -diamonds, valued at one
million of francs, as an offering from King Louis Philippe to
Queen Victoria. •

John Van Buren, son of the president of the United States,
arrived in London, on Thursday, in the packet-ship Gladiator,
from New York.

THE WELSH WILL CASE.—We perceive, by the law reports,
that proceedings have.been commenced against Barton Panton,
Esq.' by the defendants to the late indictments for largely, for
a malicious prosecution. It is not likely the trial will come on
until after the long vacation.
A VALUABI.F. HINT TO SUBSCRIBERS.—The Indianapolis
Journal states, that a merchant of Cincinnati having received an
order for some goods from a man in a neighbouring state, went
to a newspaper office, and having ascertained that the, person
in question was a subscriber, obtained permission to look at the
editor's ledger. Having found that the man had paid his bill
every fear and was not in arrears, he expressed a determination
to fulfil the order forthwith. He that bath eyes to read, let him
understand. •

A BLIND LAMB.—Mr. David Craw•shaw, of Burton, near
Barnsley, farmer and grazier, has a lamb, quite blind, there
being not the least. appearance of eyes about the head. It is
singular to observe how careful the ewe is of her offspring, as
she does not suffer it to go many yards from her, and, at inter-
vals, when she thinks it needs nourishment, she calls it to her
with a bleat different from the other ewes around her. —Hull

EXTRAORDINARY SNARE.-Mr. Elvidge, the head•keeper of
Rossington Manor, in company with Mr. Barlow, joiner, of
this town, found, the other day, an extraordinary-sized snake,
in the upper wood. It was curled round, like a wheel, and some
doubt was entertained whether it was an English snake or not.
After a few moments' deliberation, however. Mr. Barlow
levellei his piece and shot the reptile. On examination it proved
to be an English snake, but of the enormous length of four feel
six inches, and at least three inches in circumference. —Hu/
Times.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM CHATHAM HULKS.
--7 A. most determined attempt to effect au escape was made by
a body of convicts confined on board the Fortitude ,hulk at
Chatham, a few diry s ago. The vessel in question is moored in
the river Medway, near Chatham Dockyard; and it appears
that about a quarter after six o'clock on Sunday morning, as
the prisoners were bringing up their hammocks from the lower
decks, Quarter-master Hillier, who then had charge of a party
engaged in washing the quarter-deck, was suddenly attacked
in a most ferocious manner by a gang, of desperadoes, and
severely wounded on the head. The ruffians, having thus dis-
abled the quarter-master, rushed to the side of the vessel, seized
souse oars, and made a dash for the boat, which was lying along-
side, and succeeded in breaking away her moorings. The
guards belonging to the Fortitude were instantly on the alert,
and endeavoured to preveut the meditated escape. This occa-
sioned a violent conflict ; and after a desperate struggle, in
which several severe injuries were inflicted on both sides, and
during which the guards were assisted by several of the pri-
soners, who acted in a very praiseworthy and gallant manner,
seven of the most dangerous characters in the ship succeeded
in disengaging the boat, and rowed off with great rapidity
towards the opposite shore. An alarm was immediately given ;
and the dockyard guard and police, being at hand, promptly
commenced apursuit; in which they were joined by a boat's
crew from the Winchester frigate (which happened to be an-
chored near, preparatory to being paid off), and also by several
other persons in boats who had witnessed the affray prom the
adjoining vessels. The convicts, having the start considerably,
contrived to effect a landing on the opposite shore, and, disper-
sing-in the Marshes; made off in different directions, with the
intention of gaining the woods; but their pursuers, now joined
by some of the military guard from Upnor Castle, followed
them up closely, and succeeded in recapturing two before they
were enabled to get away from the marsh. The other five suc-
ceeded in reaching the fields, and were for some time lost sight
of ; but the chase was kept up briskly. and they were ultimately
all taken in a hollow between the hills; before they had reached
Wainscot.'
