Several of the leaders are sail to have undreltaken journeys into etier countries and to have enterect into associations with f creign rnaiontcnts. It is thoughit that the sentence that will be passed will give a just notion of this dangerous associatiOn, which not only spreads its pernicious political theories amnong the studious youth, but even threatened to gain ground among people ine public oflices and private persons We learn, wrth regret, that several Professors, who should have known the dangerous tentlency of such theories, are anmong thc pri.

The borough of Derby, we understasit, will be contesttd ct the next general election. An attempt will be made to turn out asr. Cokc, one of the lpresent members. The new Candidates are iMSr. E. Strutt, son of ,1r. IV. Strtitt, of Derby; ani Alr. Samuel Cromlton, niensber for Retford, These gentlemiieh, though of the samne politics as Mr. Coke, are hostile to each other on the present occasion.

The recovery of the yoummg lady who lately eloped with her father's groom (George), and was restored to her family through the exertions of P>insey, the officer of the Tows-liall, and which appeared in ull the papers, it has turned out; was a most fortunate occurrence for the lmapp,Nesa anti welfare of the fair run- away. The gallant George, whose surname is Idon, and who was brett a baker, for about a fortnight mouthed his dis- appointment in lodgings, near the bint, fron whence hc sudIdenly disappeared, and was not hcaird of nutil about a fort- night back, when lie was taken into custotly by lilay, the constablc of Chiselhurst. in Kent, for horsc-stealing, and place(d in lIisel lhurst cage, whience, during the night, [le conhtived tO escape. and shortly after broke into the stables of Slr.

" Vitlc outr voiturier," says Mr. IBakewvell, " was resting his horses at Villeneuive, I observed a singular instance of sagacity in some dlucks that were collected under the carriage. On our throwing out pieces'of hard bisctit, which were tno large for themn to swallow vwhole, they made mnany efforts to brealk them with thleir beaks; lailing in thiis, the younger ones gave upt time spoil, but some of-the older ducks carried pieces of the biscuit to a pool of standing water, and held them to soak, till sufficiently soft to be broken and 'sv,a]lowed wisli great facility. I must leave it to metaphysicians to determine whether thisprocess was the result ofinductionor instinct.'
