Brings their genial hour for burning,

SINGULAR PHENOMENON

About week since, a lady of Annapolis, while
experimenting the economy of the kitchen, dis
covered singular hsus nature, in breaking some
duck eggs for pudding. One of the eggs was
found 20 contain, within the centre of its yolk, a
perfect egg, about the size of robins, it's she'll
was thin bat complete and when it was broken,
1t was discovered to contain white and yolk en-
tire, similar to It's parent egg. How it was pos
sible to have grown there, is a question difficult
OF solution. This egg was kept some time for the
inspection of the acknowledgement Republican.
Among the articles saved from the effects of
the fire, which destroyed Covent Garden Thea
tire, not the least remarkable is the Cap of Liber-
ty, which used to be suspended over The head of
the Chairman Of the Beeisteak Club. This Gu :
rious relic, which was presented to the club by
the celebrated John Wilkes, was dug out Of the
remains on Saturday, without having received
the slightest injury. A very large gridiron be.
longing TO the Club, and which is nearly cen
t1ry old, has also been recovered.
