A MONSTER.-On Saturday night last, between the hours of eight and nine, a little girl about 12 years of age, who was sent on an errand, while passing Maton's (the Somers-town carrier's) yard, in Chapel-street, Somers-town, she was seized by a fellow genteelly dressed in a dark green cont and trousers, and a light waistcoat, who dragged her down the yard, stuffed a bandkerchief into her mouth, threatened if she made the least noise he would kill her; then proceeded to cut her forehead and each side of her mouth, stabbed her in the breast with some sharp instra.

ASSESSED TAXES.

The Worcester Journal contains the following paragraph :— THE ASSESSED TAXES.-It is very generally supposed that Ministers will not consent to the repeal of the Assessed Taxes, but that immediately previous to the dissolution of Parliament they will repeal the window-tax; thereby putting John Bull in good humour at a very critical moment. If this paragraph be correct, it seems the people are to be burdened with an oppressive tax for another year, merely because it does not suit the convenience of Ministers to dissolve the Parliament immediately after the present session. Next year, when they must of necessity appeal to the nation, they will be graciously pleased to repeal this odious tax, by way of courting popular favour and John Bull, ever credulous and forgiving, is expected to forget that he has been compelled to bear an unnecessary grievance, for no other reason than because it was not commodious to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to relieve him sooner. It may be a very clever and ingenious expedient to persuade the good people of England that they ought to be very grateful for a favour unnecessarily delayed-for a concession which might have been made a year sooner without any detriment to the public service, and which is withheld, notwithstanding the popular importunity, because the Cabinet can rely on the popular placability. This may be good policy: but really the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his friends should not take such large credit for candour and frankness as they so constantly do. We know it is very easy to use the people, when in tolerable humour, as if they were mere playthings: and it has long been an established maxim with Cabinets to act upon the knowledge of that possibility. But looking at the speeches, and we may add the general character, of the present Finance Minister, we had entertained a hope that he was disposed to treat his fellowsubjects with the respect due to rational beings, and to meet their just petitions, not with fair words and flattering promises, but by the immediate grant of every request not inconsistent with the general welfare.-Times.

FIRKS-On Tuesday morning a fire broke out between four and five o'clock, in the lower part of a house of a certain description, in Unionstreet, Whitechapel, which consumed the interior and furniture before it was extinguished. On the first alarm, the inmates were thrown into the greatest consternation, flying in all directions in almost a state of nudity. A seafaring man made his escape by lowering himself out of a one pair of stairs window, followed by his chere amie, nothing daunted; Jack received her on her alighting, and bore her off in triumph!—At Carshalton, on Saturday week, the oil mills of Mr. Ross, and property to the amount, it is said, of 40,000l. was destroyed by fire.-The cooperage of Mr. Fenwick, of Chelsea, was also burnt to the ground on Saturday week, which was occasioned by the boiling over of a pitchi kettle. The dwelling-house was saved, but the damage is very considerable.-And on Sonday a fire broke out in the premises of a dairyman, at Battle bridge, when four fine cows and a horse were destroyed.

POSTSCRIPT.

MONDAY, MARCH 14,

THE French Papers of Thursday and Friday contain no news of importance. The Law of Indemnity is still under discussion, and excites much heat in the Chamber of Deputies. On an amendment proposed by M. B. Constant, the Chamber was so divided that the state of the vote was for some time doubtful. The President at last decided against the Hon. Deputy, when the reproach, "It is abominable!" was heard from a member. A great agitation followed, and the assembly broke up in a kind of tumult.

SLAVE TRADE.-A letter has been received from Bathurst, St. Mary's, on the coast of Africa, giving further accounts of the extent to which the Slave Trade is carried on, particularly in the French settlements of Goree and Senegal, where it is encouraged by the authorities. Some of the slave vessels have been wrecked near the bar of Casamança, and thus instances of this abominable traffic came to light, which would never otherwise have been known. One of the vessels wrecked (the Esperanza) had been running a long time, and had carried off some thousands of slaves without ever having been interrupted.

EARTHQUAKE IN SANTA MAURA.-The following is an extract of a letter from Santa Maura, dated 24th January: The city of Santa Maura (in the Ionian Islands), and seveNew York papers have arrived to the 11th of February, ral villages in the island of Leucadia, have just been destroyed being two days later than the previous arrival.

The following charges against Mr, Glay are said to have been contained in the letter alluded to:

1st. That, for some time past, the friends of Mr. Clay had hinted that they, like the Swiss, would fight for those who would pay best. 2d. That overtures were said to have been made by the friends of Adams, of the department of State, to Mr. Clay, for his aid to elect Mr.

Adams.

4th. That Jackson's friends did not believe that the contract would be

ratified by the members from the states who had voted for Clay; but that it was the writer's opinion, from the first," that men possessing any honourable principles could not, nor would not, be transferred like the planter does his negroes, or the farmer his team and horses." But, he says, contrary to this expectation, it is now ascertained to a certainly, that Henry Clay has transferred his interest to John Quincy Adams, consideration of this abandonment of duty to his constituents, it is said, and believed, should this unholy coalition prevail, Clay is to be appointed Secretary of State."

and in "

On the whole, the contest for the Presidency was likely to be carried on with much rancour and acrimony between those who were candidates for that high office.

Though there is no confirmation of the report that the Cabinet have formally decided in favour of the admission of the Catholics to equal rights with their Protestant brethren, we are assured from a quarter on which we can rely, that the feeling of Ministers on the question is such as to leave no doubt that it will be carried. Nothing can better show the prevailing opinion on the subject than the general satisfaction with which the rumoured decision of the Cabinet was hailed throughout the City of London. Whatever may be the state of the inert, there is no doubt of the active feeling on the question. Even the Ministers who oppose it, must feel that they are in what their late colleague called "a false position," in resisting a measure, which not only is ardently desired by the mass of the people of Ireland, but the very rumour of which the most active and intelligent part of the population

Coolies, in the East Indies, are those natives who are emlaborious occupations; and who, supplying the place of pioployed in carrying of burdens, digging of trenches, and such neers, cannot be dispensed with in the operations of military tactics in Hindostan. Most of the foreign regiments of artillery have half a company of pioneers. Our regiments of infantry and cavalry have three or four pioneers each, to smooth the roads, pass the artillery along, to dig trenches, &c. Bochart supposes the word to be derived from Pœones, a people of Asia, whose principal employment was to dig the earth in mines, &c.

We understand that the late Mrs. Radcliffe left several manuscripts in a state ready, or nearly ready, for publication; and that the possessor of these, refusing to derive from them a pecuniary benefit, in which she cannot share, has resolved to distribute the whole produce of the copy-right, which, doubtless, will be considerable, between public charitable institutions.-Morning Paper.

Mr. Hoare, the banker, has been defeated in an action brought by him against a butcher at Aylesbury, for firing at, without killing, two covey of partridges. The foreman of the jury said, "We find for the defendant, with costs, my Lord."

No living writer discourses so agreeably on "the Months" as Mr. Leigh Hunt in his little volume bearing that title. He says of March, that "The animal creation now exhibit unequivocal signs of activity. The farmer extends the exercise of his plough; and, if fair weather continues, begins sowing barley and oats. Bats and reptiles break up their winter sleep: the little smelts or sparlings run up the softened rivers to spawn: the fleld-fare and woodcock return to their northern quarters; the rooks are all in motion with building and repairing their nests; hens sit; geese and ducks lay; pheasants crow; the ring-dove coos; young lambs come tottering forth in mild weather; the throstle warbles on the top of some naked trees, as if he triumphed over the last lingering of barrenness; and, lastly, forth issues the bee with his vernal

trumpet, to tell us that there is news of sunshine and the flowers. In addition to the last month's flowers, we now have the crown-imperial, the dog's-tooh violet, fritillaries, the hyacinth, narcissus (bending its face like its namesake) pilewort, scarlet ranunculus, great snow-drop, tulips (which turned even the Dutch to enthusiasts) and violets, proverbial for their odour, which were perhaps the favourite flowers of Shakspeare. The passage at the beginning of Twelfth Night, in which he compares their scent with the passing sweetness of music is well known, and probably suggested the beautiful one in Lord Bacon's Essays, about the superiority of flowers in the open air, where the scent comes and goes like the warbling of music.""-Every Day Book.

ST. PAUL THE ANCHORET.-This saint was profound ignorance." Butler says he was named "the simple." He journeyed eight days into the desert on a visit, and to become a disciple of St. Antony, who told him he was too old, and bade him return home, mind his business, and say his prayers; he shut the door upon him. Paul fasted and prayed beyond the door till Antony opened it, and out of compassion made a monk of him. One day after he had diligently worked at making mats and hurdles, and prayed without intermission, St. Antony bid him undo his work and do it all over again, which he did, without asking for a morsel of bread, though he had been seven days without eating; this was to try Paul's obedience. Another day, when some monks came to Antony for advice, he bid Paul spill a vessel of honey and gather it up without any dust: this was another trial of his obedience. At other times he ordered him to draw water a whole day and pour it out again; to make baskets and pull them to pieces; to sew and unsew garments and the like these were other trials of his obedience. When Antony had thus exercised him he placed him in a cell three miles from his own, proposed him as a model of obedience to his disciples, sent sick persons to him, and others possessed with the devil, whom he not cure himself, and "under Paul," Butler says, never failed of a cure." He died about 330.-Hone's Day Book.

ORGANIC REMAINS IN KENT'S HOLE, AND CHUDLEIGH CAVE.-The discoveries of Mr. Northmore are likely to be followed up in a manner that will excite the attention of the Geologists and Antiquarians of Europe. The celebrated Professor of Mineralogy and Geology, in Oxford, Mr. Buckland, has examined the cave at Chudleigh, known by the name of the Pixy's Hole; here he penetrated the stalagmite, and sunk to the depth of 3 or 4 feet, and found various remains of Antediluvian animals, such as the Hyæna, the Deer, the Bear, &c. The Professor has also visited Kent's Hole, and commenced his operations in the two caves where Mr. Northmore had made his original discoveries: among other treasures we hear that Mr. Buckland discovered the blade of a knife belonging to the ancient Britons, made of fint, about two inches and a half long, and half an inch broad. One remarkable circumstance, as it strikes us, is-that in one of those cavernous dens, there are two stalag-side (near the Southwark Bridge) respectfully acquaint the Public, that, by a mitie incrustations, one of which is considerably below the other, with organic remains, and primitive mud between both, and below both, and the incrustation in one place is near two inches thick; whether these discoveries will have any effect upon existing theories we know not; but at all events there is one fact which is placed beyond all doubt, viz. that all this part of England was, in the remotest periods of antiquity, the babitation of beasts of prey-of Hyænas, Wolves, Bears, Tygers, Hip-ditto, 3s. 6d. ; pale Whale, free from smell, 2s. 9d. &c. &c. popotamuses, Rhinoceroses, and various other animals, which have been

Les OSSEMENS FOSSILES of the BARON CUVIER.

la announcing the Continuation of the "Animal Kingdom," and the Com. mencement of the "Fossil Osteology," the Editor has the satisfaction of stating, that these Works will in future be honoured with occasional aid from the Baron Cuvier himself, who has most liberally offered to communicate to the Editor such new facts and discoveries, both in existing and in fossil organization, as may arise pending the publication of the Works. The translation of the justlycelebrated" Theory of the Earth," which forms the Introductory Discourse to the "Ossemens Fossiles," will be from the Baron's Manuscript, with important additions and corrections, prepared for a new edition of that work, which he is about to publish.

Major C. Hamilton Smith, F.R.S. &c. &c. &c. with the most distinguished liberality, has also gratuitously offered the use of his immense collection of original drawings, now exceeding 6,000 species, together with his Notes on many genera of the Mammiferous Tribes. The Monograph on the Antelopes, with a great number of new species, will be from his pen, and the figures entirely from his pencil.

No additions to the Fossil Osteology will be inserted, except those of its illustrious Author; and the translation will be as literal as the corresponding ilioms of the two languages will allow. The plates will be engraved, if possible, iu a superior style to those of the original, and the work will be published at a considerably less expense...
