MENTAL ALIENATION.—Mental 'alienation, according to
the best authorities, appears to occur more frequently in
Great Britain than in any other country except Norway, the
proportion in England being one insane person to every 783
inhabitants, and in Scotland oncin 573, whilst in Norway
the ratio is one maniac in 551- of the population. Mania
seems to increase as man recedes from the warm or southern
countries bordering the Mediterranean, and approaches the
colder regions of the north. In Italy ie scale descends so
low. as to give not more than one insane,.person.to every 3,755
inhabitants,

VOlalTleOli A. Pox RATTING SEVERELY PIJNISTI;
ED.—Mr. Richard Roberts; of Black Mill, about seven miles
above Bridgend, had. in his `possession a fox,'which.he reared
for the purpose of turning ottt before his harriers by War cif
•a svina=ttryto the season: -Ittlnitik & tilbifkli iterated in'the
same kennel with his future destroyere; was remarkable for
great gentleness and docility. Sporting and gambolling with
any of the hounds that might be inclined to humour him,
except on occasions of being fed, when he would display his
natural ferocity, as will be evinced .by the following :
A short time back, an old and favourite cat of Mr. Roberts'
returning successful from a hunting expedition with a large
rat in her mouth, unfortunately passed the crib, where Rey-
nerd lay snugly inclined. He- incited thereto for aoliare of
the savoury morsel, immediately made attack " vi et armis,"
when Grimalkin, not inclined to give up her prey without a
struggle, brought all her wiles and artifices to her aid, and
vigorously repelled the assault ; but, alas, all was of no avail,
she soon fell beneath the power of the ,arch-destrdyer, who,
not satisfied with devouring:the rate " the original bone of
contention." proceeded to treat his• antagonist .in The same
unceremonious manner, leaving nothing but a " dollup of
bones grizzling
grin his den,"• and the head alone to tell of
poor Grimalkin's whereabout, and her wretched catastrophe.

We bear that the present home secretary, Sir James Gra-
ham, intends to introduce an eleven hours' factory bill into
parliament during the present session, similar in many of its
principalsenactments to the bill introduced during the ses-
sion of 18,10, by Mr. Fox Motile. According to report, no
children arc to be•allowed by the new bill to work in factories
under fourteen years of age, nor for more than six hours a
day from fourteen to eighteen years of age. Very little in-
terest is at present felt, in the manufacturing districts of the
country, on the subject of factory legislation; which is,scarcely
ever mentioned by the wurkpeople or their employers.—
