proceeding could not fail to excite discontent In Iceland,
The House ought to take the subject into its hands, and

triumph of Ireland would not be agreed to, nor even au ova-

Hononrahle Gentleman was not attended to. In fact, the
Attorney-tienerat for Ireland was left to Ills fete, WLile the
Sheriff of Dublin was no amply protected. 'cite House. of
Commons had large powers, which they exerted as they
pleased ; the doors of the House were shut jru bad istr
poses, but open to the purposes of Goverweettt. With that
he did not quarrel. At the Bar of this House the question.
could be' fairly tried. for no law or Irregularity would
prevail. The flowoursbla Member concluded an elegant
speech by dectasieg lit favour of Me thotion.—(Loud cheer-

On the side of the road from Ethibeato n to the 01411.10
of Orange of iloultieth, there is a quarry which serves
to illustrate a controverted point in geology. It is si:P.
enough known that there are two principal theinti.et
respecting the manner in which the strata of the mune-
tains have been formed ; namely, soletion by water, or
the action of subterranean tire. The quarry jnst men-
tioned is on the side of a steep, perhaps thirty-five feat
high and al much broad, and cot:seeing of -the suhstaneer
called trap, provincially " blue whinstone." This lerge
mass appears to have been originally compacted, solid,
and to have been disjointed sad broken by the applica-
tion of internal heat ; for where the cracks are found,
there is a smoky discolouration, and the coping of the
whole mass, some feet in thickness, is a blistered crest,
plainly the effect of ebnilition, cooled down by the se,
perineneabent earthy snrf lee --(Dattsdee Alm)
In the neighboorhoo4 of Perth, last weelcot palsrmart

on her return from town, where she lied been erajoyiet

responded the thrifty goodman. "I ha'e b-en to Peit'i,

said It iniam, resting' himself on his spade. "
rejoined his helpmate, " I ha'e lost a note. But
be anary,—rather be thankfu' that we Gad ane to lose."

Thousands of dead larks were lately thrown ashore hy
the tide near Christchurch, Hares, stippesed to iteee
fallen into the et.i from exhanstian while emigrating.
Last Wednesday evening Mr. Puller, join. of tii- t
yard,. Southover, shot, hovering over. the Poo', nigh to
that place, a beautiful specimen of the Here, Trih-,
which Shaw accurately describes, and calls the crested
purple Heron. ft is'a bird of delicate shape, and leal,t-
some phamtige, particularly shout the neck, wlii4t is
peculiarly slender, and prettily ornamented with red
streaks or stripes. We shatthl suppose, that It is
often met with in this country, it having wholly eseep vl
the notice of Bliffort, Penn.,nt, snit Bewick. It hiss been
sent to London to be Fee-reed; secradaw arteat. • _
Mr. Fuller 'a few evenings before shot, at the same
place, a wild dock on the wing, which, in its fall, drop-
ped upon the remnant of a reel. growing by the P ett
side, which actually penetrate I and completely p iv-' el
through the neck of the hint, a eireanistattoe whica
pro-
bubly never before occurred. •
There was lately found ow the estste of Ingleston, the
property of John Heron, Faq , in the parish of Keith., a
falcon, with two brass bells attached to its neck, and a
silver ring to each foot, with the inscriptiaa, "John airs
chair, Esq., Belfast," It was discovered dead near a
rooltery,having fallen (as it supposed) a sacrifice to the
resentment of the crows, as it had been seen a short tient
before engaged with a number of their dark feathered
tribe, on one of which it wade a truly fuleou-iike deseena,
and its antagonist instantly dropped down dead. It mea-
sured over the wit4r, %viten extruded, 3i feet ; tvos nt
idaish valour en the hack, and of a bluish grey os the
belly.—(Scotch Paper.)
