SMALL Dana.—Captain Robertson, of ti,
which arrived at Leith on Saturday from Hong Kong,
with a cargo of tea, brought home with him—out of a
variety of other animals intended for our Zoological
Gardens, but which unfortunately died on the passage—
a pair of Napu Musk Deer from the Island of Java, and
which he has liberally presented to this institution.
These deer are not much larger than a hare, and are the
smallest of the ruminating animals. They are very
beautiful, with large eyes like the Gazelle, and legs not
much thicker than a tobacco pipe. Mr. Alexander, of
Gourock Castle, Ganrock, has also presented the Gardens
with an Emn, rought by himself from New South Wales._

SUICIDE.—In our police intelligence will be found a
paragraph headed ' Singular Case.' It will be seen that a
young woman, named Mary Duck, was brought up before
the magistrates for leaving her infant child unprotected.
On that occasion Mr. Marshall treated the woman with
considerable contempt. Had he given her a severe repri-
mand and examined into her real guilt, no one could have
complained. The woman evidently felt the treatment of
this New-Poor-Law-Advocating-Magistrate, and which,
added to what she had suffered from bring taken into cus-
tody and exposed to the wide world, has caused her to
commit suicide. On Wednesday last her cold and lifeless
body was taken out of a pond between this town and
florbury,—A CORPSE.—Wakefield Journal.

EXTRAORDINARY ROD FISHING IN THE TWEED.—
On Thursday last, Mr. Denistoun, Springwood-park, bad
singularly good sport in the Tweed, at the Scurrypool, in
Sprouston Water, having killed no fewer than 17 salmon
with the rod. The salmon killed were of the following
weights :—one 201 b., one 181 b., one 141 b., one 91b., two
51b. each, and the remainder between 71b., and 81b. each.
What renders Mr. Dennistoun's sport upon this occasion
the mere extraordinary is, the low state of the river, from
the long-continued drought, an d that scarcely a single fish
has been taken with the rod for several weeks. The
only mode by which salmon have been taken in the Tweed
for some weeks past has been with the leister or spear,
and in this way a good number have been killed.—Ediov.

IMPORTATION OF COAL INTO LONDON.—The follow-
ing is an authentic account of the importation of coal,
culm, and cinders, from the Tyne, "Wear, Tees, &c., to
London, for the month of September:—From Newcastle,
ilnl22,6l4B39,thoinpss; from tons, in3arnr4 ships;c to nf,ro4m7,4S9u6ndteornlsa,nt 8618,5830shtioposs:

-260,540 tons, in 956 ships, This import, co.npared with

30th, amounted to 1,902,828 tons, 6,864 ships; the im-
ports in the present, during the same period, is 1,860,965
tons, in 6,938 ships; decrease in the present year 41,842
tons.

GOOD OLD HOSPITALITY.—On the evening of Thurs-
day week our respeeted neighbour, Colonel Rawstorne,
summoned together the whole of his tenantry, and enter-
tained them at his residence, Penwortham Hall, to a good
substantial supper. After the entertainment, the Colonel
addressed his rustic guests in courteous and encouraging
terms, and expressed his intention of establishing for their
use an agricultural library, at Hutton village school,
This is the first and chief s'ep to advance agricultural im-
provement: first eradicate the weeds of ignorance, and
there will be a greater disposition on the part of farmers
to root up and clear the soil of vege",le weed, •Ad

stn._ and to
reduce it to a better state of tillage. Then, and not till
then, will they appreciate the beauty of a well cultivated
field, than a bleb, as the Roman orator observed, " No-
thing can be more delightful."—Preston Chronicle.
