A letter from Martinique in the Journal of Guadaloupe,
states the following event :—" M. de Pichery, merchant,
father of a num:lrons family, was met while on a hunting
excursion by an enormous serpent, which attacked him and
inflicted several severe wounds in his legs. M. Pichery de-
fended himself with great courage ; but, although timely
succour was administered to him, be died four hours after.
This unfortunate event caused great consternation at St.
Pierre. The serpent was nearly seven feet in length, and
when opened there wore found in its belly 162 little ones."

SKETCH OF M. TRIERS.—Enter the chamber of deputies
when some grand parliamentary tournament is proceeding ;
direct your eyes towards the narrow cage which serves as a
rostrum, and behold the mannikin shaking in it. His head
only is visible, so short is his person. That head is orna-
mented with a rather ugly and grinning face, but it is lively,
animated, expressive, original, and, as it were, suspended to
an enormous pair of spectacles. Whilst the honourable gen-
tlemen still indulge in school-boy chat, examine the capricious
contour of those lips, thin, and pinched in Voltaire's
fashion, and which perpetually exhibit the slyest, most
sarcastic, and most inquisitorial of smiles. Silence is at
length restored, and the orator is about to speak—listen
or, if your organisation be rather delicate and musical
begin by stopping your ears ; you may then gradually open
them, for the voice you are about to hear is one of those
acute and shrill voices which would make Lablache faint and
Ruhini shudder. It is something doubtful,
amphibious,
neither male nor female—something rather of the neuter
gender—but, whatever it be, strongly syringed with the
accent of Provence. And yet that tiny man, without good
looks, without steadiness, without a voice, is no other than
M. Thiers, one of the most eminent personages of our times,
and one of the most powerful orators of the chamber. That
feeble chest yields notes almost always listened to with favour,
and often applauded with frantic enthusiasm : from that
fluted larynx issues speech as transparent as crystal, as rapid
as thought, as substantial and close as meditation.—French
paper.

In consequence of the diminution of incendiary practices
on the property of Farmers during the, last few years, the
Directors of the County Fire Office feel enabled to reduce
the premium for the Insurance of Farming Stock to is. 9d.
per cent., without the average clause, and ls. 3d. with the

It is now Thirty-three years since the County Fire Office
was instituted, for the express benefit of country residents,
and under the supervision of local Directors,—it has been

that has made
regular and large returns to the parties insured. These have
been constant, and have amounted to £123,000. During the
above period, upwards of Forty Insurance Offices have
broken up, some with the loss of every thing. Among the
extraordinary number which have recently sprung up, many
are evidently not intended to last. The closing of the Royal
Union Office in Lancaster Place, which took place recently,
and the complaints of numerous persons at Bow-street, who
bad deposited all they possessed in that Office, and were left
destitute, is a warning that ought not to be disregarded.
