SALMON.

source, the quantity imported there from various parts of Scot-
land for one 'wetdc,:miz.-44-frota- the-1-14 4 be 21st uk. itreltssi ve,

Enui, JULY 30.—We have-not been idle at this impor-,
tant crisis. We formed, a COnseivative Club for this city and
county last March, and it has been the meani. of much genii
here. At the last registration no steps were taken to cut off the
had votes of the opposite party, while they were very active on
their side. We have this veer registered twenty-three addi-
tional free Men, and about thirty-five additional £lO householders.
En short, we are only looking out for a second candidate to
bring forward in conjunction with Mr. Blakeman. Many, ton,
-in the town are coining to their sober senses again, who will
take our side at the next election.

DUBLIN CITY ELECTION COMMISSION.—Last week the
second branch of the petitioners' ease, relating to voters who
were in arrear for pipe-water rent, WaS coneltided. More than
400 voters have now been proved to be in arrear for paving-tax
and pipe-water, according to a synopsis Mettle out by the clerk
uf•the Commissioners. l'hc third branch of the case, relating
to grand jury eess, was commenced on Monday, and preliminary
evidence was gone into on that day and yesterday to prove the
applotments made by the ditrerent`lparishes at voting. This
branch will occupy some time, .as there arc about 170 voters
charged to be in arrear. The case appears to be progressing
slowly but surely, and will ultiinatelv give the petitioners' can-
didates a seat in the Parliament of the British empire.—Dublin

DEATU OF THE OURANG OUTANG IN THE SURREY IZOOLO-
G ICA r. GARDENs.—This interesting anitnal died last week of at
scarlet fever. During its illness it was attended by a medical
gentleman of celebrity, by whom its symptoms were treated
precisely similar to those of a young child labouring under a
similar complaint. It. cried and whined like a cross child; but
it was fend of its keeper, from whom it received every possible
attention.

CARRIER PIGEON3.—A pigeon Was shot at Marton yester-
day, which, on being picked up, prOed to be a carrier, though
not apparentlyof the most perfect breed. The bird was nnaked
20-1, and, from the billets attached to it, it
.had evidently Leen
despatched on its errand the day before. Oneof the slips of
'paper, which are now in the' possession of 'a gentleman in Do-
ver, io dated " Le 30 Juillet,"'ind. is inscribed " R. 0. W.
Commencement, with columns of figures, apparently the prices
of the public funds. The other is marked
."78Juillet 29.! with
the letters 11. M. J.. N. K. L. 0., e:ach.arpended to a numerical
statement, On the reverse side is the word " Detnande 181 8,"
with three hieroglyphics, the words " Lunda prochain," and a
short sentence in rench, but which has been so mutilated by
the shot that destroyed the bird as to render it unintelligible.
Singe the above,,uas in type. we have been. infprmed that tho
bird had taken' a: wrong direction on 'being started from hence
by a foreign agent, who is in the habit of despatching numbers
similarly equipped to the continent.---Dover Tvl.yroph.

..SIGHTS AT Msnatn.—There are rraity sights worth seeing
in Madrid; one is the collection of am our at the palace, ar-
racged in a similar way to ours in the Tower of London, but
with a greater variety of costumes and mote ancient specimens.
They show there helmets of Ilannth4 and Scipio Africanus,
Moorish and Turkish armour, the statues of Charles Y. and
Philip 11. in full armour, as well ;is thatof St. Ferdinando ; the
last mentioned is deemed the greatest curiosity and most valua-
ble relic. Amongst other swords that of-Pizarro is shewn,
a hich •
was once presented to Sir John Downie; at Seville, and a hich
he preserved fromt he French by throning it bark amoogst the
m
Spaniards, when be bad jupe , ov,r a breach in the bridge
amongst the enemy.

THE MONTH. OR AUGUST.—Atigutf, in a general itenAto,
plies something majestic, and the appolati„e „a„, first con.
furred by the. Roman senate on Octavio.. Octinius, lh. n
named Anywitus Caesar, was in this miinth created consul. He
had thrice triumphed in Rome, subdued Egypt to the Homan
empire, and terminated the civil•'.wars. On that account the
iuonth was dedicated to his honour, and called after his name.
Loan. SANowicu.-:Phis nobleman, when dressed; had a
dignitikl appearance, but 'to see him in the street, he had an
awkward careless gait. Two gentlemen observing him when at
Leicester, one of them remarked, "I think it is Lord Sandwich
earning;" the other replied that he thought he was mistaken,
".Nav," says the gentleman, "I am sure it is Lord Sandwich ;
for, if you observe, he is walking down both sides of the street
at onee." But Lord Sandwich gave a bett^r anceliote of him-
self:—" When 1 was at Paris, I had a dancing master ; the
man was very civil, and on taking leave'of him, 1 offered him
any service in London." " Then," said the man I O‘, ing, •
should take it as a particular favour, if your lordship would
never tell any one of whom you trained to dam e."

TO MAKE OLD CHEESE OF NEW.—The flavour and appear-
ance of an old cheese may be communicated to new by insert-
ing in the new cheese portions of the old,containing blue. mould.
The little scoop which is used in taking, samples of cheese is is
ready instrument for the operation, by interchanging ten or a
dozen of rolls which it extracts, and placing I licni so as to dis-
seminate the germ of the blue mould dlimer the cheese. A new
Stilton treated in this way, and well covered up trout the air a
few weeks, becomes thoroughly impregnated with the mould,
and generally with a flavour hardly to be distinguished from the
old one. Al r.*:John Robinson, Secretary of the Royal Society
of Edinburgh,. says he has sometimes tr aged half a Linarkshire
cheese in this way, and left the other half in its natural state,
and been ainused,with the remarks of his frieNison the striking
superiority of the former over the latter.
