LETTER FROM "THE DUKE."—A Mr. Murlock having
recently addressed a letter to the Duke of 'Wellington on
the repeal agitation, received from his Grace the following
characteristic reply :—London, June 15th, 1843. Field
Marshal the Duke of Wellington presents his compli-
ments to Mr. Mulock. As it appears that Mr. Mulock
has addressed the Minister, the Duke concludes that he
will give him an answer. He is one of the few men in
these days who does not meddle with questions over which
they have no controul.
MEETING OF THE FAIR SEX.—During the present
week a public meeting of the fair sex has been held at
Thornley colliery, at which upwards of 1,000 persons
were present, the women having flocked in from the
neighbourhood, with music and banners. Mrs. Winter,
of Killoe, was elected to the chair. The debate was then
opened, and several resolutions were passed, which will
bear the closest comparison with the enactments of our
landowning lawgivers. The object of the women was the
same as that of the landowners—viz., to regulate the price
of food. Three gills of milk (a pint and a half,) the
ladies resolved should be sold for a penny ; beef, for 44d.
a pound ; butter, Bd. ; and so on. It was further de-
creed, that if any housewife should pay higher prices than
the " scale," she should instantly be reduced to the un-
adorned simplicity of Mother Eve, and exposed to the
public gaze.—Gateshead Observer.
SALE OF A CHILD.—A few days ago Robert Stokes, a
baker, at Wansford, sold one of his children, an inter-
esting girl two years of age, for three guineas ! The un-
feeling parent went into the Granby public-house with his
child, and whilst there a dealer in drapery goods, named
John Turley, made his appearance, noticed the little girl,
and asked Stokes whether he would sell her. To the
astonishment of all present, a bargain was struck, and the
child was transferred to the hawker, an Irishman, who
said he had been living for 17 years at Oundle, but was
about to return to Newry, in Ireland, his native place.
Turley took away his bargain immediately, and conveyed
her in his cart to Stamford. The news soon spread that
the baker had sold his child, and the mother became al-
most frantic. The female neighbours got together, and
warmly remonstrated with Stokes, who, perceiving that he
was not likely to be treated by them in the most agreeable
manner, promised to re-purchase his child, and started in
pursuit for that purpose. The hawker and his wife were
fortunately found at the Woolpack inn at Stamford, and
although, having no children of their own, they were de-
lighted with the little girl, and would probably have taken
better care of her than Stokes had shown a disposition.to
do, they were prevailed upon to restore the child to her
father on the return of the " purchase-mOney."—Stam-
ford Mercury.
ROMANTIC INCIDENT.—In the course of last week an
incident of rather an unsual kind occurred in the neigh-
bourhood of Ambleside. There lives in that village a man
of the name of John Love, who is a native of Scotland,
and upwards of ninety-four years of age. This man, who
resides with a son of his in the same village, has always
had a wish to revisit his native country; and, within the
last few years, has several times left Ambleside on foot
for that purpose, and has frequently been brought back.
On Wednesday the 21st ult., about one o'clock in the
afternoon, he disappeared from the village without inform-
ing any one of his intentions. Not returning in the even-
ing, his son naturally became alarmed, and, on the follow-
ing morning, tThursday,) in compan) with]a number of
the villagers, set out in search of him. They traversed
north of Ambleside there is a very rugged mountain,
