THE NEWSPAPER. 



Royal yacht Victoria and Albert. — Thursday, Sept. 7, 

 1843. The binding of this precious album is remark- 

 able for its exquisite taste. The ground is of fine mo- 

 rccco leather, of a c imson colour, ornamented with gold 

 filagree work, representing the arms of England. The 

 album is inclosed in a rich case covered with violet- 

 coloured morocco, and embroidered with the arms of 

 England.'' 



Cockneys in Scotland. — Among the many ridiculous 

 blunders committed by the reporters for the London 

 press at Biair, with reference to the names and localities, 

 none is more absurd than an anecdote which represents 

 Her Majesty looking on at a "sheep-shearing" in Sep- 

 tember. The black-faced breed are unquestionably a 

 hardy race, but we question their ability to lose their 

 fleeces so near the end of autumn. We presume their 

 informant had spoken simply of shearers, which is the 

 Scottish term for reapers ; but the former being exclu- 

 sively used in the south country as applied to sheep, the 

 mistake has thus arisen. To complete the absurdity, 

 and al-o to expose the *' illustrated" system, the Pic- 

 torial Times of last week actually contains an engraving 

 representing Her Majesty and Prince Albert overlooking 

 a body of shetp shearers, and the latter patting a terrier 

 — :dl agreeable to the newspaper paragraph. — Perth

I sth $ of Panama.— ." Wq are credibly informed/' 

 says t he Courrier Francais, "that the hopes enter- 

 tained with regard to the piercing of the Isthmus of 

 Purnma have not been realised. M. Gazella has re- 

 turned to France, after having explored the isthmus, and 

 ascertained that the point at which the junction between 

 the two seas was contemplated was not ten metres (30 

 feet) above the level of the sea, as stated by the Franco- 

 Gi ada C impany, but 125 metres (375 feet); so that 

 instead of a mere trench, and a canal without a sluice, 

 or, in other words, an artificial strait, which was deemed 

 practicable from the survey of the engineers of the com- 

 pany, the canal to be opened at the point of junction 

 would require upwards of 60 sluices. M. Gazella is a 

 distinguished engineer of the mining department, and 

 had been sent by the French Government to explore the 

 isthmus, and verify the levels taken by the surveyors 

 employed by the above company." 



A Real Traveller.— A wonder has lately arrived in 

 India in the shape of a Norwegian runner, who is about 

 to attempt the discovery of the source of the White Nile, 

 on foot, and unattended. He expects to be absent from 

 this only about four months, and he is to go in a direct 

 line, crossing deserts and swimming rivers. He runs a 

 degree in 12 hours, and can go three days without food 

 or water, by merely taking a sip or two of syrup of 

 raspberries, of which he carries a small bottle; and 

 when he does procure food, a very moderate quantity 

 will suffice ; but when" it is plentiful he eats enough for 

 three (hiys. This wonderful man carries with him only 

 a map, n compass, and a Norwegian are. He has 

 already made some wonderful journeys, having gone 

 from Constantinople to Calcutta and back in 59 days, 

 for which the Sultan gave him 2000 dollars ,* and from 

 Fans to St. Petersburg!! in 13 days. He has certificates 

 from the authorities at Calcutta and St. Petersburgh 

 verifying these very extraordinary facts. He is about 

 4o years of age, and slightly made. He trusts for safety 

 in perilous journeys to his speed, as he says neither 

 dromedary nor man can overtake him.— Indian Paper 



1 ^ ^ T ^Vl^" T ^, r> E BTf >^ s* Court.- John William Turner was on- 

 posed by Mr Cooke for acreditor named Hampden. The hearhSr 

 of this insolvent was appointed to take place one day last week 

 but he ventured to appear in court in a state not fit to be ex' 

 ammed, and Ins case wasadjourned. The insolvent was a market- 

 gardener at I lammersmith. The complaint was, that he and h 



V Jl\ n l T \ J?" *£& h ! d ? rd , ered of the °PP°«in R creditor a number 

 of baskets to pack his fruit for Covent- garden Market to thav»1»« 



of about 10 and on being applied to for pavment he said he was 

 dn°w m ' Jf J«rfn»MP J»h Mr. Baker, and' had nothing Jo 



do w ti, it, and if he was sued he would put the creditor to ever? 

 possible expense, and then take the benefit of the Act. An anion 

 was nraenced, and he kept his word. The verdict ultimatclv 

 recorded against him was, damages 9/. 17s., costs, 231. If,*, if he 

 bad suffered judgment to go by default, the costs would not have 

 amounted to above St. or 61. An investigation took place respect- 

 ing the insolvent's affairs. According to the evidence, one of his 

 principal grounds for defending the action at the trial was, that 

 there was not a partnership between himself and Baker. He now 

 admitted that there was ; and it appeared that it was dissolved in 

 consequence of the insolvent's intemperate habits. It was further 

 elicited that a debt of about 91, due from Mr. Giddings, the fruit 



SX55 ? f C ° ve , nt -p i ^» Market, was not yet paid, and that the 

 insolvent kept a book, respecting the contents of which he gave a
