I There have been two entertainments at the Palace

scription, but the latter was upon the broader scale of
invitations, and at which the Royal Music room and the
Banqueting-room, for the first time in their perfect state,
were opened for the reception of (unspent. It is scarce-

A curious foot race was yesterday run over Waterloo
Bridge ; the landlord of the Edinburgh Castle, Strand.
who is blind, ran against Mr. Thompson, blindfolded,
for a considerable wager ; Mr. Thieepson, in starting,
had a heavy fa!l, but recovered himself, and kept the
lead till they bad arrived half way over the bridge, when
Mr. TIIOIIII,IIOII cause in con:ife. with a horse and cart,
and much datnated his beads, which enabled the blitil
man to win the eager.
• (In 'Tuesday last the 9th current, the body of a man,
apparently of about fill years of pee. and who it is sup-
posed had lost hit way and perished through the inteo-
sity of the cold, was discovered at the bottom of a deep
ravine near Selena', in the parish of Moffat. On the
person of the deceased there were found several certifi-
cates, all of the same tenor, bearing that David Coat
was the name of the deceased--that be had lost his hear-
ing whets seven years of age —that lie was of a wander-
ing disposition, add requesting information to be sent to
the subscriber, George Cowt at Iteathall, near Mused-
burg, in case any thing should happen so him. The
circumstances which led to the discovery of the body are
somewhat singular, and afford another instance of the
lldelitt of thr canine species. On the eveniug of Mon-
illy, the shepherd at &taunt hears' a dog-harking in the
Same!' Linn, and on going near it, the animal fled.
Ttie shepherd alarmed for the safety of his master's dock,
fellowed the dog, with a view of driving it off the farm ;
but on reaching a certain spot, the dog turned furicusly
on its pursuer, and the laCer, after keeping it at hay
wills his stick fur about twenty minutes, was glad to
rnnke his escape. The shepherd being still very doubt-
ful of the safety of the sheep 'miler his charge, procured
the assistance of a neighbour, having no wish to renew
the combat single-hamiesl, and west in pursuit of the
dog early on the ensuing morning. When arrived within
a few yards of the scene of the preceding night's engage-
ment, they discovered the dog lying beside the remains
of its master. From the appearance of the body, life
must have been extinct for at least four or five days be.
fore it was dierlieered, and during all this time tit...faith-
ful sod affectiouate animal, without a particle of fUod,
and exposed to the most intense cold, had patiently
watched the body of its quondam friend and master. Af-
ter the corpse was placed in the Church, the dog made
its escape from the gentleman silos took charge of it and
, made an attempt to fret into the Church to resume its
grateful duties.—(lhoirrics Courier.)
