GENERAL MISCELLANY.

M. Guizot arrived in Paris on Friday

By a new law on sporting in Prussia, no one can have
the right of shooting unless possessed of 300 acres of land.
The correspondent of yesterday's Times, writing from
Rome, says, " I now conclude that the Pope's return is
more problematical than before, as I find that. those
friends who so strongly recommended him to take that
step era now unwilling that he should do so."

On Saturday afternoon Mr. W. nGuning, an under-
graduate of Christ's College, Cambridge, son of the Rev.
W. Gunning, Prebendary of Wells, and vicar of Stowey,
Bath, was drowned by the upsetting of a boat in which he
was sailing on the river near the College.
GARDEN ALLOTMENTS.—EarI Alanvers has given up
a beautiful field to the framework-knitters and artizans of
Carlton for garden allotments. It contains about eight
acres. The Earl of Chesterfield has promised at the
earliest convenience a further extension of land, and gave

up twelve acres for:the same purpose about six years ago
Nottinghanz Review.
Viscount and 'Viscountess Jocelyn have arrived on a
visit to Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston. at Broad-
lands, from visiting Viscount and Viscountess Melbourne,
at Brockett Hall, Hertfordshire.
In consequence of the convictions before the High
Court of Versailles, twenty seats in the French legislative
assembly have become vacant.

A GAME WATCHER MURDERED.—Three poachers,
named Joseph Hogg, Nichol Hogg, and Andrew Turn-
bull, are in custody at Carlisle gaol, for the murder of
Thomas Davidson, one of Sir James Graham's watchers,
in the district of Bewcastle, on the borders between Scot-
land and East Cumberland.
In the Bail Court, on Friday, Mr. Thesiger moved for
a certiorari, to bring into the court an inquisition taken
by the Leeds coroner in the case of a young lady, in which
the jury brought in a verdict offer() de se, on an alleged
misdirection of the coroner. The family of the lady were
desirous of removing this stain from her memory. The
court granted the certiorari, which is absolute in the first
instance.

MR. JUSTICE TALFOURD AND THE OXFORD CIRCUIT.
—On Saturday last a magnificent banquet was given
by the bar of the Oxford circuit to Mr. Justice Talfourd,
upon his elevation to the bench and consequent retirement
from the position he has so long held as leader of that
body. The guests were almost exclusively confined to
the members of the Oxford circuit, the exceptions being
the Attorney-General and two or three other gentlemen,
who were permitted to take the opportunity of testifying
their respect for the learned judge. Mr. Whately, Q.C.
(who succeeds to the leadership of the circuit), occupied
the chair, and was supported on the right by the distin-
guished guest of the evening, and upon the left by Lord
Campbell. Amone the company were,—Mr. Justice
Vaughan Williams, Sir Edward Ryan, late Chief Justice
of Bengal, Sir Robert Comyn, late Chief Justice of Ma-
dras, the Attorney-General, the Hon. John Talbot, Q.C.,
Mr. Commissioner Shepherd, Q.C., Sir T. Phillips. and
Mr. H. Haliam, the historian. The dinner took place at
the Albion Tavern. Covers were laid for 90.
AFFRAY WITH POACHERS NEAR MATLOCX.—On
Thursday night seven of the Duke of Rutland's keepers
met with a party of poachers also seven in number, in
Hillicar. Wood, when a hostile collision took place, the
poachers fighting desperately until some of them perceiv-
ing their antagonists were gaining the upper hand, ran
away. and succeeded in escaping, the affray terminating
in the capture of three of the party,

AIR. HUDSON'S FORTUNES.—Mr. Hudson has sold
his Londesborough estate, his Octon Grange estate,
bought for £70,000, and his Hutton Cranswick estate,
comprising altogether about 16,000 acres of land in the
East Riding of Yorkshire, to Lord Albert Denison, late
Conyngham, the heir or executor of the late Mr. Denison.
He retains now only kis Baldersley estate, which cost
about £125,000. on which he has expended some £20,000,
and Newby Park, which cost £20,000. He has made a
small profit on the estates sold, and wants about £200,000
for the two left.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT PENRlTH.—Tuesday last being
the half-yearly hiring day for agricultural servants, at Pen-
rith. in Cumberland, a very large concourse of servants of
both sexes, were congregated in the market place. A
little after noon, a cow, coming from the fair at Sandgate,
rushed amongst the crowd of servants, and knocked down
all that came in her way. Near the end of Great Dockray
sin men and three women were trampled down together,
and, we are sorry to add, the beast trod upon a fine young
woman, aged 19, named Hoggarth, of Longlands, near.
Ainstable, and so injured her that she died in the course
of a few minutes. One of the other young women, sister
to the deceased, was much hurt, and three of the six
young men are also dangerously ill, being much injured.

A MOST INVETERATE SKIN DISEASE CURED DV
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PlLLS.—James Hazlitt,
millwright, of Menagh, county of Donegal, was afflicted
with a dreadful skin disease, being covered with sores
from the ear to the elbow, and down the right side, which
rendered him totally unfit to work at his trade. His
malady was of so malignant a nature that he became a
loathsome object of pity. In this state he was presented
with some of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and by
Persevering in the use of these wonderful remedies for a
few weeks, he has been thoroughly cured, and is now able
to resume his usual occupation.

WATERSPOUT.—A singular phenomenon lately appeared
off Portland. A mass like smoke descended from a dense
cloud, and, having been observed for a few minutes, fell
into the sea with a splash. The weather at the time was
thick and hazy.

At the board of a farmer from Tickenham, in Bristol,
on Wednesday, were as many as two or three quarts of
raspberries, of as fine size and colour as if produced at
the height of the season of this delicious fruit.
ANOTHER CASE OF PREMATURE INTERMENT,—The
Paris papers relate a case of premature interment which
lately occurred in the department of La Mayenne. A
soidier, who was supposed to have died from indigestion,
produced by too copious libations of wine, was about to
be buried in the cemetery. The coffin had already been
lowered into the grave, when a low groaning was heard.
Just in time. To raise the coffin and tear off the lid was
the work of an instant, and the buried-alive was taken
out. It is said that the man of war intends to bring an
action against his officious friends for premature inter-
ment.
Ate

ible tornado occurred a short time ago at Cape
May, New Jersey. Houses were blown down, a woman
was killed, and several persons were wounded. A female
was blown from the ground into a tree.

RENT DAY A OF FREE-TRADER.—The half-yearly rent
day of Earl Fortescue was held at the George Inn, South-

lIMILOII9 WI 11.1.uuwAy, %VLACH kW.: uaacau 111,-,4 ---
not a little surprised to hear the steward read a letter
from his lordship, stating that be should not reduce their
rents, and if any of them were dissatisfied they might
give up their estates; but he recommended them to em-
ploy °more labourers, and improve their land.—Dorset
Chronicle. _ _ _ _ _ _ .

The petition of the "National Association for the Pro-
tection of British Industry and Capital" to the Queen,
a dissolution of parliament and a change of ministers, is
warmly supported by the Morning Herald, which draws
attention to the unanimous cry for protection which is
rising from all parts of the country, and from all classes
of society. .

The Committee of the National Club have published an
address to the British public on Lord Roden 's dismissal.
It forms an admirable abstract of•the whole case, in tem-
perate language, and in strict conformity with the facts.
We understand that an address frcm the Committee of
the National Club to the Earl of Roden is on its way to
Ireland, which will in all probability be also published
when his lordship's reply shall have been received.
MATRIMONIAL SPECULATIONS.—The bashful gentle-

man, signing himself " R

was noticed a few weeks ago, being apparently deter-
mined not to let slip a golden opportunity, again tried
his fortune, and kept another appointment in the Peel-
park, under the refreshment-room windows, on Friday
last—not with a rich young spinster, as he expected,

FIRE AT CIRENCESTER.—An alarming conflagration
took place about six o'clock on Monday [morning at
Cirencester, on premises occupied by Mr. Daniel Thomas,
T=atter, and which could not be subdued until after the
entire stock had been destroyed. Both Mr. Thomas and
his wife were severely burnt, and, in consequence of the
fierceness with which the flames raged, narrowly escaped
with their lives. The disaster appears to have arisen
from a spark falling from a candle upon some paper while
Mr. Thomas was packing up a quantity of goods for
Fairford fair. We understand that the stock was insured

We are sorry to see this party

a sink-
. party,

of lcir. D'lsraeli's proposed relief to the farmer
ing fund ; but instead of this being approved by the
it is scouted everywhere. At Bromley, in Kent, on Fri-
day, a very large meeting of agriculturists and merchants
took place, with Lord Stanhope in the chair. His Lord-
ship condemned the proposition of the member for Buck-

sense to talk of a sinking fund from a duty on
foreign corn, until they had a new parliament. Mr. G.
F. Young pronounced the suggestion to be of no use to
the farmer, and said that the equalization of the land tax
was " a hasty proposition, crude, and undigested," the
fruit of a too vivacious imagination. These objectors,
however, seem unprepared with any practical scheme of
their own.

On Thursday morning

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
last, a person named Mansfield. after purchasn% _
articles in a shop, whistled to his dog. a valuable grey-
hound, to accompany him, when the animal jumped up,
and sprung through a large square of plate glass, exactly
a quarter of an inch thick, in the door. The noise of the
sa.ash caused Mansfield's pony. which was at the door in
a chaise cart, to start off at full gallop. The animal
rounded the conduit, and the corners of Union and
Benett•streets, in prime style; but when near the Eagle
the shafts broke, and the tires flew off the wheels, end
the pony was stopped without doing further damage. The

Thomas Martin, gamekeeper to the Earl of Hadding-
ton, has been in the employment of that noble family, at
Tynninghame, East Lothian, for fifty-one years ; and, as
a curious fact, it may be stated that the veteran still uses
the same knife and fork which he did when he first entered
their service. Francis Martin has been in the employ-
ment of the Earl of Rosslyn, as gamekeeper. for thirty-six
years. John Martin, gamekeeper to the Earl of Hope-
toun, has resided at Honetoun-house, in that capacity,
for thirty-three years. Samuel Martin, coachman to the
late Lord Macclesfield. lived as such thirty years at Sher-
bourne; and Thomas Martin, gamekeeper to Mrs. H. N.
lierguson, of Biel and Archerfield, closed his life about
Me years ago, in the service of that respected lady, which
had extended over a period of half a century. The mem-
bers of the Martin family are natives of Worcestershire.
H.tEc VINCULA FEREMUS ?—To classify under one
head disorders the most incongruous and even opposite—
to disturb the timid and the nervous by false alarms—to
lull the really afflicted with false hopes—and to deceive
all by promises the most extravagant and absurd—as it is
the chief characteristic of the medical adventurer of the
present day, so it forms one of the most painful subjects
of contemplation that can present itself to the eye of
those who scan over the advertisements which crowd the
columns of the newspapers of our time. Among the
many medicines obtruding themselves upon our attention,
it is some relief, however, to find one at least which
(while its proprietor avoids those gross inconsistencies
that, with but very few exceptions, disfigure all others)
is sanctioned and employed by the most distinguished
practitioners, as well as the most eminent and enlightened
individuals of the age, who have honoured with their
favour and confidence the Compound Antibilious Pills of
Mr. Cockle, the gentleman above alluded to.
TRICKS PLAYED UPON NEGROES.—There is a bush
story of a negro who, for a bottle of rum, agreed to strip
to the waist and lie on his face to be bitten for a quarter
of an hour by the musquitoes at the Juggins of New
Brunswick. He endured his pests manfully, and had
nearly won his prize, when ono of the lumbermen who
stood by laid on him a small piece of live charcoal, when
the negro wriggled and twisted about frightfully ; at last,
unable to hold out and longer, he jumned up, calling out,
" Wooh ! not bargain for dat ; dat is dragon fly ?"
Lumbermen play sad tricks to the negroes sometimes ; at
a coloured tea drinking, a lumberman slipped " a plug"
of tobacco into the kettle, when an old negress who pre-
sided called out, " /vlo water ! ma water ! too 'trong for
missa 'tomach."—Sir J. Alexander's Acadie.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,

ARRIVAL OF THE NEPTUNE CONVICT SHIP,

We have papers from the Cape to the 20th September
inclusive.

The intelligence announces the long looked for arrival
of the Neptune, with convicts on board. They had not
landed when these accounts came away ; nor was it in-
tended that they should land, but kept at sea until in-
structions could be received from the home government.
The bitter feeling of the colonists against making the
Cape a convict settlement continued unabated, and some
expectation was entertained that their firm and united
remonstrances would at length prevail.
Messrs. Smith O'Brien, Meagher, M`Manus, and Do-
nohoe, reached Simon's Bay on the 12th September, on
board the Swift, Capt. Aldham, in good health, and left
on the 13th for their place of exile.
