a couple at the parish church. Every year since, on the
first Thursday after Good Friday, the worthy couple have
presented a child for admission by baptism into the
church, the ceremony on each occasion being performed
by the gentleman who united them in the bonds of
matrimony.—Bradford Observer.
NATIONAL CHARACTERS.—In a well-known house in
London, the rendezvous of all foreigners, as well as En-
glish and Irish, a Frenchman thought to amuse the com-
pany at the expense of an intelligent and good-humoured
Swiss. "Your countrymen " said be," serve under all
European monarchs." "It is true," replied the Swiss;
" we are goor, and we fight for that we stand the most in
need of, money, or pay, call it as you will ; " but," said
he to the Frenchman, "what do you fight for?" " Ho-
nour," exclaimed the impetuous Frenchman. ‘. well
then," said the Swiss, " we both, it seems, fight for what
we stand in need of most—we for money, you for honour.
DIABOLICAL MURDERS IN FRANCE.—On the night of
the 13th inst., the habitation of a widow, named Mercier,
residing with her daughter, in the commune of Tayac,
was discovered to be on fire. No cry was heard to alarm
the neighbours, the glare of the fire being the first inti-
mation they had of what was passing. The remains of
both bodies were afterwards found completely calcined,
and amid the flesh of the d qighter the physicians found
29 grains of shot. It is supposed that these women were
robbed and murdered, and that the premises were then
set on fire to conceal the crime. Three men were per-
ceived going away when the fire was at its highest.
REVOLUTIONS OF THE, CURRENCY.—The circulation
of the Bank of England has four revolutions in a year,
being at its highest point in those months in which the
public dividends are paid. The country circulation re-
volves once in a year, being at its highest point in April,
and its lowest in August. The circulation of Scotland
revolves once in a year, being at its lowest point in March,
and its highest in November. The circulation of Ireland
also revolves once in a year, being at its lowest point in
September, and• its highest in January. These changes
are not capricious or accidental, but are determined by
the recurrence of the seasons and the state of trade in
their respective districts.--Foreign and Colonial Review.
THE RECAL OF LORD ELLENBOROUGH.—The precise
reat•ons for the recall of Lord Ellenborough by the Court
of Directors of the East India Company were, on Satur-
day, the subject of much discussion in political circles.
Nothing official has yet transpired to satisfy the public
curiosity on this point ; but we understand that tile strong
measure of the Directors proceeds, not so much from any
objections to the general policy of Lord Ellenborough, as
from considerat'ons of minor importance. It is said that
the bearing of his Excellency towards the Court was not
marked, in their opinion, by sufficient deference to their
high authority; that he did not, in fact, accommodate
himself enough to their wishes and expectations in mat-
ters partaking rather of the character of detail in bis go-
vernment than of general direction.—Observer.
RATS IN THE HEBRlDES.—Generations have passed
away without seeing a rat on the small island of Tarinsay,
on the west coast of Harris. An innumeraele swarm of
these annoying and destructive vermin has of late spread
over the island, notwithstanding the efforts made by Mr.
Macdonald, the tackman, to extirpate them. They ap-
pear to be increasing so fast that they threaten to overrun
the whole island, and keep violent posession of it. They
are supposed to have come from the island of Soay, which
lies at the distance of about three miles from Tarinsay,
and into which the Earl of Dunmore ordered rabbits to be
sent. Soon after this, the rats, which were formerly very
numerous in the island of Soay, completely disappeared,
Having removed in a body to the neighbouring island of
Trinsay, from which they are not inclined to make their
departure in a hurry.—Scoichman.

FRIGHTFUL MURDER AT ROUEN.—A heinous crime
was committed in the night of Wednesday last, at Duclair,
near Rouen. Three men made their way into the house
of a butcher, named Pecot, and immediately killed him
by blows with a hammer. They then beat his wife with
the same instrument and severely wounded her, but pro-
mised to spare her life if she told them where they could
find all the money in the house. They took all there was,
30f. ; but, disappointed at the smallness of the amount.
they renewed tht it brutal violence upon Madame Pecot,
and, as they believed. put an end to her life. They then
set fire to the house, hoping thus to destroy the traces of
their bloody deed. But Madame Pecot, though she had
received ten desperate blows with the hammer on her
head and breast, had only fainted. She revived before
the flames reached her, and had just strength enough to
drag herself out of the house. The light of the flames
alirtned the neighbours, who came and carried her into
safety. The house was totally destroyed, and the calcined
body of the husband was found among its ashes. infor-
mation was immediately laid before the magistrates, and

gendarmes were sent in search of the murderers.
A NATIVE GENIUS.—One of the acquaintances of a
New York Editor. whilst travelling in the " far west,"
was at a loss what course to steer, and rejoiced when a farm-
house presented itself before bin. Near the road was a
tall, raw-honed, overgrown, lantern-jawed boy, probably
17 years of age, digging potatoes. The traveller drew up
the rr igns of his horse, end said, " Hollo," my good
friend, can you inform me how far it is to the next house?"
Jonathan started up, and replied, " Hollo, yoursell!—
how'd dew ?—wall, I guess I can. Taint near so far as
it used to be afore they cut the woods away—then it was
generally reckoned four mile, but now the sun shrivels up
the road, and d‘in't make more'n tew. The fust tioue
you come to, tho' is a barn, and tlie next is a hay sack ;
but old Hoskins's is a beyant. be sure to meet his
gals long afore you get there; 'tarsal romping critters,
they plague our folks more'n little. His sheep get into
our orchard. Dad sets the dog arter the sheep, and me
arter the gals—and the way he makes the wool, and I
the petticoats fly, is a sin to snakes " " Isee you are in-
clined to be facetious, young man—pray tell me how it
happens that one of your legs is shorter than the other?
" I never allows any o ie to meddle with my grass tanglers,
tristur; but seein' it's you, I'll tell you. 1 was born so
at my ticlar request, so that when I hold plough I can go
with one leg in the furrow, and t'other on land, and not
lop over." " Much obliged—good bye."

VESTRIES BILL.—An apparently well devised measure
has been brought into the House of Commons by Mr.
Stafford O'Brien, M.P., and Mr. E. B. Denison, M.P.,
for the purpose of preventing in future the recurrence of
those disgraceful scenes which are too often to be witnes-
sed in parish vestries, and which defile and desecrate the
sacred edifices to which' they are attached. It is en-
titled, " A Bill to Prohibit the Holding of Vestries in
Churches," and contains 13 clauses. After the close of
the present year, 1844. no vestry or other meeting is to
be held in the established churches or chapels of any
parish whose population exceeds I,oo° souls, but power is
given to appoint other places of meeting somewhat more
fit to be turned into beargardens, than the buildings at.
Cached to the house of God. By the 11th clause, it is dis-
tinctly enacted, that if any vestry or other meeting be
held in either church or chapel, contrary to the pro.ne-
ons of this act, all proceedings at such meeting shall be
absolutely null and void in law. The act is not to extend
to Scotland, nor is it to affect or invalidate any ecclesiasti-
cal law of the united church of England and Ireland, or to
destroy any of the rights or powers belonging to any bishop
of any diocese, or to any archdeacon,chancellor official, &c.
COUNTY TREASURERS.—Mr. Miles, the member for
East Somersetsbire, has moved for a return of the ab-
stracts of the accounts of the several county treasurers in
England and Wales, for the years ending Michaelmas,
1841, and Michaelmas, 1842. From this return, the pre-
paration of which must have occasioned some trouble,
inasmuch as it forms a complete mass of figures, are• de-
rived the following particulars :—lt appears the 1. the gross
total receipts of the various county treasurers during the
year ended Michaelmas, 1841, amounted, in England, to
£1,020,429, and in Wales, to £57,982, constituting a
grand total, in England and Wales, of £1,078,412. The
total receipts during the year ended Michaelmas, 1812,
amounted, in England, to the sum of £1,083,974, and in
Wales to £53,788, snaking altogether the sum total of
£1,137,762. The gross total disbursements of the said
county treasurers during the years 1840-41, amounted, in
England, to £9n2,823, and in Wales, to .52,373, o.• alto-
gether to the sum of £955,197. The gross total disburse-
ments from the year 1841-42 (ending at Michaelmas in
the a4-mentioned tear), amounted, in England, to
£996,620, and in Wales. to £54,808, or altogether,
£1,051,428. Thus the whole of the balances remaining
in the hands of the various county treasurers of England
and Wales amounted, in 1841, to £123,215, and in 1842,
to £86,334 only.

OAKS.

6 to 1 agst Barricade offered, 8 wanted; to hit the
winner out of a field of 2.5 horses or so would require the
pen of a Yates. However, as " faint heart never won fair
lady," we will stick to custom, and try our feeble pen
thus, Pagan or Bramble ; if shipwrecked, why, we look to
the freaks of the Mersey for a " life-boat" called Everton.
The course, we glean, is very hard. A brilliant meeting
is booked, as certain as " The Squire" sacking the gui-
neas yesterday.
