COURSING EXTRAORDINARY.—ThiS is one o those surprising visions, fir we cannot call it real, with which the mystic II B. occasionally entertains and edifies the public in matters o• political, as well as natural history. The subject now before us represents two fierce greyhounds, stretching away in their fleetest manlier to overtake an unfortunate hate,. which is bounding away with all imaginable speed, but with small hopes of escaping from the jaws of those eager pursuers; and what makes the scene more curious is that the two gaze hounds are adorned with the profiles of two celebrated ex-Chancellors, am! pussy has a mask on, strongly resembling the notorious" Lord Ram." But although this trespassing animal is nearly run down, this cannot be a cause of much exultation to animals of a nobler species, far it has been well remarkerl— " Poor is the triumph o'er the timid hare " In the rear of the hounds are a celebrated Duke and his political Aid-du-camp, both well mounted, and not reluctant to be "in at the death." Animal Magnetism is the titie of another of these visions, the scene of which :6 laid in a certain house cf very bad reputation, not far from Westminster Abbey. There you behold a well-known Baronet doing Ow office of magnetiser, ala Dr. Wigshie, of the Gower-street platform. In this instance, the patients under the experiment of Mesmerism, or mummcrisor, are the reform colder, the Limes ick butter merchant, and their little henchman, the " ay-ceated gnat." The graceful ways ing of the tnagnstiser's hand has evidently left the lad of wax without consciousness, as we sue Vainly enough, the appropriation clause—or claws—having droppei out of Isis hand ; Limerick is sotenolenting rapidly, whilst the king cf the beggars is looking at the sleeping cobler with an expression of uneesy surprise, which is well described. Th would be a fine example the power of modern mummerism over the serpent-Ilke watehfultiees of modern reformers.—Herald. Our readers will remember that several cases of what has been termed mutual suicide have within the last few years been brought before the French tribunals. In these cases the story hats generally been that of a man and woman agreeing to die together; but the man has almost always survived, while the woman :Ilene has fallen a victim to the morbid idea by which the action had been stimulated. The survivor has been generally tried for murder ; but the sentences of the Juries have always been those or acquittal. The Court of Cassation was, however, occupied the other day with an appeal on a else which happened nearly four years ago in t e Bois de Boalogne, and on which no trial ever look ;lace; the tail of il:ctment having been thrown out by the Chamber of Council. A man named Copilet, had shot a woman, named Wain, under circumstances of this kint!, and had only wounded himself. The 2ppeal was lodged by ?I• Dupin, procureur-general of the Court ofsCassation, and the point of law was decided on Saturtlay by a decree in these terms :—" Considering that a mutual agreement between two persons, that one should destroy the other, does not deprive the act of its character of murder, and that by deciding to time contrary the law is siolated, the court annuls the decision of the Chamber of Council." If this decision is maintained, the law on this Timms* will be the same in France as in Engle:lst  ___ _ _ _• _ _ HORIZONTAL FLAT \VAT CHES, with accurately finished jewelled movements, warranted, are offered in Silver cases, price Five Guineas each ; or in Gold cases, price Nine Guineas each, at T.
