MISCELLANEOUS,

CIIRIOSITY.—There is at present to be seen in an apiary
at Thornthwaite, in 'Woodland, a thrush's nest,-in a beehive,
containing four eggs. The bird and the bees are flying out
of and into the apiary daily, and seem not at all to disturb
each other. •

NUMEROUS DEATHS BY FlRE.—There were, a few even•
ings ago, no less than four bodies of children in the dead•
house belonging to the London Hospital, all of whom hat
died in that institution from the effects of injuries receivet
by their clothes having accidentally caught fire.
GROSS FABRICATIONS.—The reports now current in the
newspapers of the suicide of a young lady named Moorhouse,
at Romford, of a Mr. Menders, of Woodford, in Essex. and
of Mr. Clifford, a merchant, at Romford, turn out to bt
hoaxes of the most infamous description.
It is rumoured that the Marquis of Salisbury or the Earl
of Zetland will be selected by the masonic body to succeed to
the Grand Mastership, vacant by the death of his Royal
Highness the Duke of Sussex. Prince Albert is also men-
tioned.

SAFETY OF TITE CONCH.—By the arrival of the Pilot at
Table Bay from Port Natal, we learn that the Conch, store-
vessel, for whose safety there was much apprehension, had
arrived, after having been kept oft by contrary winds and
currents about 90 days.

THE NEW FACTORY 131m—Petitions are now in course
of signature amongst the working classes in Huddersfield
and its vicinity, praying the legislature to pass the Factory
Education 13111 now before the house in its present form with
as little delay as possible.

THE QUEEN v. O'CONNOR AND OTHERS.—We under.
stand that the defendants in this case, found guilty at the
last assizes at Lancaster for the county of Lancaster, have
received notice to appear in the Court of Queen's Bench on
Thursday next, the 4th instant, to receive judgment.
An alarming fire took place at the warehouses of Messrs.
Kent and Co., smallware manufacturers, Church-street,
Manchester, by which the loss to Messrs. Kent is estimated
at £l,OOO. Damage was done to several of the adjoining
premises, to the extent of about £3OO. The whole is in,
sured.

A gentleman has written to the Times, complaining that
he was prevented from going into the pit of the Opera House
on Saturday night, because his trowsers were not of kersey-
mere. No objection was made to their colour or their cut;
yet he was obliged to trudge up into the gallery, greatly
annoyed, yet much amused at the ludicrous sort of objection
that had been made to his dress.
Whilst Major Jobn O'Brien was in front of the troops,
when on review at Chatham, on Monday week, his horse,
which was a spirited animal, became alarmed, and bolted,
when the major, perceiving he had no control over the horse,
released his feet from the stirrups and fell, bruising his head
in a frightful manner. Assistance was immediately rendered,
and the
major was conveyed off the ground and a stop put to
the review. He is now likely to recover.

we are enabled to state that Prince Albert will attend the
funeral of the Duke of Sussex, and that his royal highness
never had any other intention.—Observer.
