antidote against the amiable offorts of his lordship's lecturing
proteges to excite discontent amongst the people.—Dorset

CIESAREAN OPERATION.--A poor woman, called Mary
Ann Jones, residing in Rathbone-street, Chorlton-upon-
Medlock, was delivered, rather more than a fortnight ago, I,
means of what is termed the Caesarean section, which vas
performed by Mr. Whitehead, of Oxford-street. Both mo-
ther and child are doing well. This, we believe, is the second
operation of the kind performed with success in this country.
A MonEsr iltno.—While the funeral car, with the re-
mains of the victims of July, was passing along the Boule-
vards, a national guard reproved a man near him for not
taking off his hat, as all around him had done.—"
plied he, " I cannot do honour to myself. One of my k
is among the victims, and modesty forbids me to salute i
On looking down, the national guard saw that his interlf
tor had a wooden leg.

HERRINGS.—There was a very great quantity of herri,
taken by the Cullercoats fishermen on Tuesday night. 'I

boats. The take on Wednesday night seems also to hay
been considerable, as they were called through the street
here on Thursday at, six for a penny.—Newcastle Journal.
THE CROPS.—The weather, throughout the present weep
in the county of Northumberland, has, upon the wile'
been highly favourable to the operations of harvest. 7
has been occasional rain, but a bright sun and a genial
sphere have preponderated, and, in consequence, r
breadth of corn has been cut clown. During the ensuin
it is expected that harvest will be general in this distric
as we have before intimated, the prospect P-
quality is satisfactory. So far from the •
injured by the late rains, it is admitted that they have been
benefitted, whilst the turnips and other green crops have im-
proved prodigiously. A great many Irish labourers have
arrived this week in the North to assist in the corn harvest.

IMPORTANT To SHIPMASTERS.—A shipmaster at Banff,
having brought up two of his men for desertion of their ser-
vice and vessel, an objection was taken, that the articles were
not signed in terms of the act of parliament, which requires
that they shall be signed by the master in " the first in-
stance ;" whereas it appeared, that he had either not signed
the articles at all, or put his name to them after they had
been subscribed by the men. After a long bearing and de-
bate, the justices, acting on the opinion of Sheriff Corrie,
held the objection to be fatal, and dismissed the case.—

DR. SOUTHEY.—Rumours have for a considerable time
been current respecting the health of Dr. Southey, the poet
laureate. Delicacy no longer requires the withholding of the
melancholy fact, which gives the greatest grief to every lover
of literature, that, through overmuch intellectual labour,
Dr. Southey's fine mind has been so much prostrated and
shattered, that it is very unlikely that he will ever again
appear before the public as a writer. Our information on
this subject is derived from a letter written by Mrs. Southey
to a friend in this city.—Bath Chronicle.
NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.—It has been well observed,
that, if the receipts of the most prosperous railways in the
country had been published weekly at their opening, as is
now the case, the shares would probably have been as much
depressed as those of the North Midland have been. The
following statement serves to prove this :—The gross receipts
of the Grand Junction Railway, which opened on the 4th
July, 1937, were for the first six months, £116,740, or £4,490
per week. The length of the Grand Junction, including the
rails to Manchester and Liverpool, is 112 miles. If the North
Midland, the length of which is 72 miles, only produced.
£2,9110 per week, it would be at the same rate per week as of
the Grand Junction of £4,500. But the average receipts of
the North Midland for the last three weeks are £3,300 per

An anecdote has been told me, the authenticity of which
I have no reason to doubt. When the northern ambassadors
lately paid visits to Louis Philippe, after his return from En,
the king is said to have received them with the greatest cool-
ness, and to have made set speeches at what he called the
ingratitude of their masters. " What !" said he with bit-
terness, " is it come to this that Metternich has become thr
