WEEKLY REGISTER OP WEAXILIR.

Again hate we to notice another week extraordinarily mild,
and, what is unusual in a mild week of winter, as remarkably
serene. Monday, indeed, was foggy, and Thursday and yes-
terday morning were hazy, but, on the whole, the atmosphere
has been uncommonly clear for the season. There was a
slight hoar frost on Thorsilay morning, which was foliaged
yesterday evening by a little misty rein, but the quantity of
rain in the gage is not measurable.

The proceedings of the Court of Kings Bench were
yesterday somewhat interrupted, as Mr. Scarlet% was going
on with his opening speech in a cense. by • general
smirk of laughter betraying itself throughout the coun-
tenances of the audience, whose attention was directed to
a large grey cat, which had seated itself on one of the
arms of the judicial chair, occupied by the Lord Chief
Justice, and seemed as attentive' to the proceedings, as if
puss had been actually invested witlsjuilicial authority. Im '
mediately his Lorship's notice was drawn to this ludicrons,
approximation. Mr. >mien observing the attention of
the Jury seemed to be engrossed by the cat rather than i
that which he was addressing tothrin, his Lordship, with a
good natured smile, ordered puss not to be committed for con-
tempt; which, no doubt, his Lordship's judicial powers would
have warranted; but siniply to be turned out of Court, which
was accordingly executed by the proper officer.

of William Lindsay, in the employ of Provost Dixon; and
the match took place en Friday the 12th ult. But the '1
Yraikshireman, at the fourth nide, being one mile in the
rear of the Dumbartonian, gave in, and Lindsay went over
the resj of the ground at more leiiure. He performed the
first five miles in thirty minutes—and the whole- eighieen
milts in two hours anclfifty seven and a half minutes. A
boy of ab !al Y 3 years of age, of the of Wilson, bare-
