LACONISH.—Tho late Lord M— was remarkable for conciseness of style, both in his speeches and writiegs, and he was fond of it in others. As he was riding out one day, a gentle. man came up to him at full gallop, when, pulling off his hat, be reined up his horse, and made a low bow. His Lordship opened the laconic dialogue. " Where are you from, Sir; where are you going; what do you want?" " From Oxford, to London, a benefice " You shell have it ;" and made off. The declaration of an unfortunate and misguided man at the conclusion of a trial in Cavan will show with what temper the peasantry look upon trial by Jury, in a country where the Orange symbol and Orange injustice reign triumphant. It is right to repeat in this place the exclamation of the countryman, Con. sundae Maguire :—" By G—, there is no use in expecting justice here; the way I would recommend In future would be for every man to kill a man for himself. his a miracle that fire and brimstone do. not come down from Heaven. and consume both Judge, Jury, and the Orange murderers." It is needless to add, that be was taken into castody,and committed to prison.—Dub. livetuPest. IRISH H u 310 U n.—The following anecdote was related the other day by a facetious gentleman, who is sometimes accused of shooting on the wing—a very innocent species of amusement, particularly after the 12th of August. Pat, while on his travels, went into an out-house, and being hungry at the time, filched two eggs from under a poor duck when on the very point of being emancipated from the wearisome business of incubation.— One of these be chipped so far, and thrust into his mouth without observing that it was " instinct with life." The duckling, however, was aware of its danger, and before crossing his greedy gullet, uttered something like a feeble quack ! On this Pat screwed his mouth, and looked very queer for some moments ; but speedily rallyin, ,he exclaimed, " Och! and at very sorry for it • but then, my dear little chick, you were a trifle too long in spahise;." A Mr. ARTIIUR WALL, who is in his 109th year, having been particularly invited to attend the celebration of the 4th. at Raleigh, North Carolina, excused himself on account of being " busy with his crop ;" but said he would send one of his boys, a lad of 82, with his toast.  We understand it was ascertained by the rain-gauge, which is kept at Huntly Lodge by Mr. Murdoch, that the depth rain which fell between five •'dock on the morning of the 3d inst. and the same hoer on the 4th, wa4 S/ inches. The ge for the year being about 25 inches, it hence appears that the quantity of rain which fell in the course of 24 hours was nearly onesixth of what usually falls during a whole year. The depth which had fallen during the present month, up to the morning of the 17th, was five inches.—alberdent Chronicle.  Accounts were received in town on Saturday, of a most melancholy and fatal accident which had occurred to Mr. Wadd, surgeon, of Park-place, St. James's-street. This Gentleman left town, for Ireland, about ten days ago, accompanied by Mr. Teggard, the apothecary, of Pall-mall. As these friends were travelling together in a post-chaise, net far from Cork, the pat boy, by some accident, dismounted, and the horses took fright and ran off. Mr. Teggard prudently kept his seat in the carriage, and was taken out, as the end of about two miles, uninjured ; but Mr. Wadd, upon the first discovery of his danger, jumped out, and was killed on the spot. He was Surgeon Extraordinary to his Majesty, and bad long been one of the Council of the College of Surgeons, and was elected by the College, only two days before he left town. to the distinguished station of one of the Examiners.
