CEMETERY.—An extensive cemetery is about to be established beyond the limits of the city. TI., state of the church yards in Dublin is frightful. But a few days since, we were informed by a clergyman, that a body was interred, if indeed that can be said, in one of the most populous neighbourhoods, not two feet from the surface. This is an outrage upon common decency, both towards the dead and the living, that calls fur correction. A eemetery removed from the crowded dwellings of the living, and the noisy and busy scenes of life, if laid out with taste, and an a proper site, Hill become an object of interest and fond regard, and we cordially join in the anticipation of the Committee that it will have a moral and useful influence.—DublinEvening Post.  Landseer, the artist, has been for several months engaged in depicting the most effective and pic• turesque scenes of the Romantic Annals of England, France, Italy, and Spain, for the purpose of illustrating that useful and interesting work, " The Romance of History," of which an entire new edition is announced for publication forthwith, in the cheap and popular form of monthly volumes. The work is to be commenced on the Ist of November, and continued on the Ist of every succeeding month until completed ; and every volume is to contain not less than Seven beautiful illustrations take❑ from Drawings expressly designed by Mr. T. Landseer, for this Illustrated Edition of the Romance of History. There has been recently dredged up at Thorpe, by the machine in the employ of the Norwich and Lowes. toft Navigation Company, an ancient sword, which from its scytnitar•like form has excited some curiosity. Its entire length is 3 feet 2 inches; its blade though much corroded, is still very elastic, and in its broadest part 21 inches. On each side, a few inches above the guard, is a rude inlaying of red gold, to represent a coronet of three points. The gu rd is slightly curved, and the extremities pierced with a quartrefoil. The pommel of brass is round, with the sides flattened ; upon which is rudely engraved the figure of a monster with a human face and the body of a beast. Around this, on each side, is a similar figure, whose tail is covered with foliage. There is no clue in our iocal histories whereby we might assign a period to its being lost in our river ; unless it was in the year 1277, when King Edward, according to Stow, made a military progrnes through Suffolk and Norfolk, and kept his Easter at Norwich. This ancient weapon has been presented to Norwich museum by the directors of the navigation. Carnbridge Chronicle.  A case of greater barbarity has seldom been known than the following, which occurred on the night of the 7th instant, in the village of Panxwortli, Norfolk. A man named Thirkettle, under-gamekeeper to Mr. Burroughs, of Burlingham, went in the middle of the night to call up Thurtell, another gamekeeper, saying that there were three men on the Hill (a covert) after the game. Thurtell got up and accompanied him ; and they had not long been walking, before Thirkettle said he heard some shrieks in the direction of his house, and he thought the men were there murdering his wife. The two then went in that direction, but Thirkettle got there first. When Thurtell arrived, he found the poor woman put into the arm-chair, apparently lifeless, her head dreadfully cut in six places, her teeth knocked out, and her body very much bruised.' Thirkettle appeared to feel burt for her, and declared he considered it must be the threemenb. Life .was.found not to be extinct ; and in the morningedirection of Mr. Burroughs, she was taken to the hospital. Search was made for the footsteps of the preteontadhenEipintogualcs.hueffirse,i butt,ti none could be found. The woman, covered, declared it was her husband who had ilel•tryeatreed. her, and her evidence is supported by One of the children • but this he as stoutly denied, and even accompanied his wife, apparently sorrowfully to the hospital. He was however, apprehended on Tuesday, and after being examined by the Rev. J. D. Borton, was conveyed to Norwich Castle, until his wife should be able to give evidence. The woman, we are happy to say, is likely to recover. They had for some time lived uncomfortably, in consequence of his attentions to another woman. Some money was taken out of the bureau, which is suspected to have been done by Thirkettle himself, to give credit to the ale.—Cambridge Chronicle.
