ttiE GAS METRES AND THE FROST.—The water in the gas
metres in many houses was frozen last week, owing to the se-
verity of the frost. The Liverpool Gas Company recommended
that cloths should be applied at the bottom of the metres, and
be kept moistened with hot water. '11)6 metres may also be
protected by a covering of straw or sawdust. With respect to
water pipes, care should be taken to let all the water run out of
the pipes, after it is turned off.
Between £l,OOO and £5,000 has been estimated as the sum
necessary to be raised for a borough rate in Poole, more than
one-fourth of which is constituted of •• law expenses." The
Municipal Reform Act is called " the country atturney's hat-
vest."

The government of Bombay, vacant by the recal of Sir
Robert Grant, is worth £lO,OOO. Mr. Stewart, who is spoken.
of aslikely to succeed him, is at preseut one of the Lords of the
Treasury.

FROST UPON' RAILWAYS.—The action of the frost has occa-
sioned many of the wheels on the railroad between Brussels and
Antwerp to break, frequently delaying the passage of the trains,
and the communicating tubes between the engines and the ten,
tiers have also been stopped up with the ice.—Paris Paper.
WHITE PsnzitiocEs.On Thursday week a covey of par-
tridges was seen on the estate of R. Watt, Esq., near the high

white.—. Hull Advertiser.

The Arab transport, with the last division of the 10th regi.
meat, arrived at Cove on Monday from Corfu. They are to

ceeded yesterday to join the companies stationed there.
TEE-Totai.tsm.—The Lincoln Gazette says, tee-totalism is
becoming so prevalent, that the consumption of malt is dimi-
nished to such an extent, that it begins seriously to affect the
nouikets and the prices of barley.
A curious circumstance occurred last week on the borders of
the Trent', near Gunthotp, Notts. A gentleman was amusing
himself in shooting at snipes, when suddenly a tine salmon
spiting up from the water, which the gentleman shot, and the
fish in a few minutes was taken, floating on its back upon the
surface.— Lincoln Mercury.

ACCIDENT.-013 Saturday last, as a number of men on the
Manchester and Leeds railway were working at Trubsmithy,
near Rochdale, a large piece of timber, weighing 12 cwt., fell
upon the hand of them, and took all his fingers off. The unfor-
tunate man's name is Tigers.

phens, of Ashton., Dr. Fletcher, of Bury, and Mr. Richardson,
of Manchester, with several others, delivered addresses, and
petitions were adopted, praying for a repeal of the new poor-
la w.
THE WAY TO WIN A Kiss.—The late Mr. Bush -used to
tell this story of a brother barrister. As the coach was about
slatting after breakfast, the modest limb of the law approached
the labdlatly, a pretty Quake' ess, who was seated near the fire,
and said he could not think of going without giving her a kiss.
" Friend," said she, " thee must not do it." " Oh, by heavens,
1 will !" replied the barrister. " Well, fiiend, as 'thou bast
sworn, thee may do it ; hut thee must not make a practice of

n. '—American paper.
• A Copenhagen journal mentions a new way, now used in the
war-office of that capital, of warming rooms and public offices,
by' placing 48-pound cannon halls, made led hot, in iron boxes
of fine sand, which are put under the seats of stools. chairs, &c.
The warmth thus communicated to the sand will keep up in the
apartment a heat of 60 degrees Fahrenheit for nine hours, the
windows and fireplaces being carefully stopped.
