HEIL ROYAL HIGHNESS THE. PRINCESS AUGUSTA..
We regret to hear no improvement has taken place in her
royal highness's health. For several days past the bulletin
has reported her royal highness to have been going on more
favourably, but on our reporters making inquiries yesterday,
the subjoined bulletin of the physicians was handed to him :
—" The Princess Augusta has not passed a good night, and
her royal highness is much the same as yesterday ;" which is
certainly less favourable. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke
of Cambridge, Duchess of Gloucester, and the other mem-
bers of the royal family daily visit her royal highness ; and
her Majesty and Prince Albert have throughout her royal
highness's illness sent a royal messenger to make inquiries
after the health of the princess.—Morning Herald of Wed-
nesday.

THE W
EATIIER AND THE CROPS.—Suminer has com
last. For several days the weather has been all that h
could desire, and its effects are visible in every grain ma
in the kingdom. In the south, harvest h
the crops are said to be average ones. —.-
promise remarkably well; indeed some of our south cc ______
contemporaries assure us that grain has not borne a bat(
appearance for the last seven years. The tate rain does nc
seem, from all we can lkrn, to have damaged the crop!
though it has unquestionably retarded the harvest.—Blaa

EXTRAORDINARY VERDICT.—Au inquest was held
Mr. Caines, last week, at Tatworth, on the body o
named Taylor, aged 12 years, who met with his deat
following manner :—The boy was one evening in
with several other boys of the village at play, when
four drunken men passed them, staggerin
Taylor and the other boys followed and n
which so enraged one of the men (John Field'
about and caught Taylor, whom he kicked
severely. The boy was taken home, and con
ill three or four days, when he died. The
verdict—" died by the visitation of God!"--,
PuriNv-A-LlNERs.—There is a well-know
a humble class of men, who live by their pens, whicl
not at the quality of their work, but the rate of its remuner
tion, twits them as penny-a-liners ? Can the world be awa
of the range of the shaft ? What, pray, was glorious Jol
Milton, upon whom rested an after glow of the holy inspir
tion of the sacred writers, like twilight bequeathed by a
summer sun ? Why he was, as you may reckon anytime
his divine " Paradise Lost," not even a ha'penny-a-line.
We have no proof that Shakspeare, the high priest of hum
nity, was even a farthing-a-liner, and we know that Horn
not only sold his lines " gtatis for nothing," but gave cret
to all eternity l—T. Hood.
As a son of Mr. Reeves, farmer at Bradbourne, Seven
oaks, was priming his gun last week, having been keep.
in the rooks off his father's pea field, it unfortunately wen
oft, and the whole of the charge entered the thigh of one
his father's workmen, who,, we regret to say, is not expectet
to recover.—Siisier Advolister.
