WELSH CHARITY SCHOOLS—An Examination of the Children of this excellent Institution took place yestmday morning, which proVed highly interesting to a numerous assemblage of the patrons and friends of tht Charity, to whose great satisfaction the children acquitted themselves in their various classes. At a General Meeting of the Governors and Subscribers, held at the conclusion of the Examination, Lord KENTON in the Chair, it was unanimously resolved that the Festival on the first of March next, should be held with every possible splendour, in honour of the Duke of CLARENCE, who has kindly condescended to preside on the occasion.  Mr. MARRIOTT, of Attercliffe, had lately, at his farm at Orgrave, a fine heifer, which died under the following singular circumstances :—The animal became sickly, and after lingering about three months, died in a state o great exhaustion, the whole carcass scarcely containing an) blood whatever. Upon opening it, to ascertain the cans, of its death, an adder, upwards of a yard long, was found within its head, just emerging from the larynx. Th. reptile was dead ; but, from the fresh appearance of it, skin, it was evident that if it had been swallowed by th, calf at the commencement of its illness, it must have bee:. alive in its stomach until a few hours of its death.— Sheffield Independent,  sent nptDe rfslooArnbßeao: residingt Io CiAllaeLtn tGi Aoanw,TB wTh aEosrThui:nldl' ev rhgAoosTne e niNaanlmUee xßwaDienEjantß.a tpre--io before the Magistrates of this town, on a charge of attempting to murder his own nephew, by administerioF arsenic. It appears from the evidence already adduced, that the prisener.o brother, who died some time ago, lea"' ing a widow and five children, held a farm under Lori IlanatraioN, on a lease, in which one life ouJY "." remaining. Prisoner resided with his brother's d conceiving if his eldest nephew were dead, the lease Nvouli. become his property, he conceived the diabolical design o administering 'poison to him. Accordingly, n oimvo,nadiai last, soon after a basin of buttermilk had been placed fol the object of his malice, on that part of the table usuallN allotted to him at meals, the prisoner was observed by Isis niece to go to the table, and put a quantity of white powder into the buttermilk. She immediately challenged him with haring done it, but he persisted in denying it, although he refused 'to taste the buttermilk, which she pressed him to do as a proof of his innocence. Under these circumstances, it was deemed advisable to send th, buttermilk to this town, to undergo a chemical examination ; and after analyzing it, it was found to contain arsenic. The prisoner was apprehended by BURGESS, on Thursday; and has been remanded fur further examination.—Macclesfield Courier.  When this exquisite display 7• as over, Sir Walter chanced to allude to the effects of the various martial sounds which readied his ears, when the evening watch was det to the Allied troops in Paris., after the battle of WateN, 100. Seated on the summit of a small eminence near the village of St. Cloud, amidst the ca!rn or a French summer's night, he described the rnir,7. hug sounds, in the distance, of the ingtrunlents. of almost all the nations in the world, rising in strange and wild harmony around, as producing an effect upon him such as he should neverforget, This led to a disquisition upon military in general, and that to a request froth Sir Waiter that Mr. Moseheles would indulge the company with some of the martial airs of the Continent. He immediately assented, modestly sayings that he knew very many of them, as be had been often employed in their composition by the: Emperor of Austria. He sat down again, accordingly, to his instrument, and produced most admirable melange of every sort of milits7 music that can be conceived. Several of the air: his auditors knew, many they heard for the first time ; but the wonderful facility and grace with which he arranged and combined thcm—pasring through more than imaginable variety of keys and measures, yet ever maintaining one uniform tone of high martial feeling—excited the profoundest admiration. They all agreed, that though they had often heard before what were termed extempore fantasias, yet the real bardlike spirit, which alone gives value to such effortg, of improvisation, they then listened to for the first time.—Edinburgh Observer.
