were travellers from Chorlay for Neston, the information

head Market have been repaired and re-painted in hand-
some style, and the faces of the clocks coloured deep blue,
which affords a fine relief to the gilding of the figures and
indicators.

broken, and the contents drank by the elephant, till he
was satisfied he had had enough. When found, he looked

A-FOOLHARDY ADVENTURE.-"On Sunday week, as the
visitors and residents at Beaumaris were enjoying them-
selves in the cool of the evening on the green, a small open
boat, evidently a stranger, was observed entering the
Menai Straits fromihe Irish Channel. The smallness of
the craft necessarily gave rise to numerous conjectures,
and the most prevalent was that a ship had been aban-
doned at sea, and the hands had taken to the boat. Only
two persons could be seen, however, and they were pulling
vigorously. After• an hour had passed in excitement, and
a large concourse of persons had assembled from the va-
rious lodging-houses, the boat reached the stage, under
the gaze of the wondering multitude. It turn,ed out that
two gentlemen had left the landing-stage at Liverpool on
Saturday night, about nine o'clock. with the view of reach-
ing Llandudno the next morning. It was dark at the
time they started, and the coast was little known to either
of them. The course taken was down the Rock Channel,
and after a night at sea, and thirteen hours' buffeting
about, they reached Llandudno. In a little more than two
hours' time they started for Beaumaris, and reached there
in the evening. Both are landsmen, and have little know-
ledge of boating.

MR. DISRAELI is about to sojourn some time at Haldon
House and Torquay as the guest of Mr. Lawrence Palk,
M.P. for-South Devon,
