the woman at Shaw-hill Common, as mentioned last week,
was tried for the assault on the Rev. Mr. Haddo, of Ever-
leigh, on Tuesday, at Devizes assizes. The charge was
for assaulting " with intent to kill and murder," and the
evidence showed that the attack was of a more ferocious
kind than at first reported. The fellow was hunted down
by Mr. Haddo and his servants, and when that gentleman
attempted to seize him he defended himself with more
stones, While he was in custody he said that he
knocked the wornan down. The verdict was " guilty,"
and the sentence seven years' transportation.
TRADE OF BRISTOL.—Our Bristol contemporaries are
in high spirits about the state of trade at their port. The
transfer of the docks to the corporation will be carried
out during the present month as settled by the act of
Parliament. The receipts continue to increase ; the
excess over the corresponding months of last year (dating
from the Ist of May) being nearly £3OOO. During Jan.
to April, in 1848, 169,917 tons of shipping entered the
port, against 142,817 in 1847, being an increase of 27,100
tons, or 151 per cent. The improvement during the same
period in the coasting trade is remarkable, namely, from
92,443 tons to 104,900, being an increase of 12,457 tons.
Seventeen vessels laden with sugar are daily expected for
one firm alone. The port is full of large class ships.
FELINE TENDERNESS.—A curious circumstance oc-
curred at Wincombe House, Shaftesbury, the residence
of Mrs. Gordon, a few days since. It appears the servants
were removing some straw, and found a nest of young
rats, which, as a matter of course they destroyed, or in-
tended to do so; however, one of them more fortunate
than its fellows, was not quite killed, and is now alive. A
cat who was watching the proceedings, it seems, seeing
the young rat move, took it up in her mouth and carried
it to the stable, where she has two kittens ; she placed the
rat in the nest. where the warmth soon revived it; and
where it is now enjoying the paternal care of the cat in an
equal degree with her own offspring !—Salisbury Herald.
