village from the Tamer to Cape Cornwall’; 
but in no place is it felt with equal severity 
ds in the neighbourhood of Redruth. Pol- 
dice, Treskirby, and other mines in that 
quarter, have lately discharged some hun- 
dreds of men, while those who continue em- 
ployed are so continued at very reduced 
wages. The consequences of this state of 
things among the lower orders of the people 
it is paiuful to contemplate. Another trial 
has been made for ores in tne district of 
Meneage, and with success enough to re‘ute 
the long prevailing opinion that none existed 
there. A lode has been discovered in the 
parish of Mullion, in that district, which 
consists of copper of a quality peculiarly rich ; 
but it remains for a further trial to determine | 
whether the lode be as large and extensive 
as the specimens produced fromit are vas 
luable,

A few weeks since, a cat in Greenock 
brought forth a very remarkable and perfect 
monster of herownspecies. It has one head, 
four ears, eight feet, and two tails; it is one 
body from the navel up, as it were breast to 
breast, and from the naval back forms two 
distinct kittens; what is remarkable, theone 
is male, and the other female. It had 
suckled for some days, and, from all appear- 
ance, would have lived to maturity, but, 
most unfortunately for the admirers of natural 
Curiosities, was deprived of its life from su- 
perstitious motives. itis now in the possession 
ot Mr. W. Cameron, surgeon of Greenock.

Vining, to Miss Benson, daughter of the 
late Mr. 8. of Drury-Lane. The parties 
were performing in the farce of ‘*We fly by 
Night,” and took a fancy to carry into reality 
the union they had been representing on 
the stage. They made their obeisance to — 
the audience, withdrew in their theatrical 
dresses, and by one of these brief ceremanies 
which the laws of Scotland sanction, returned 
in a few minutes, to the no small astonishment 
of their friends, in the new characters of 
husband and wife.

Several men are now employed for the 
purpose of erecting a complete harbour at 
‘the east side of the Hill of ‘Howth, which, 
when finished, will afford a sate harbour 
for the Holyhead: packets, as well as for 
other vessels, as occasion may require; and 
to and from which the Holyhead mails will 
be landed and dispatched, which will be 
attended with a considerable degree of conve~ 
Gience to the public in general, as the mail 
from Dublin can be dispatched at one given 
hour throughout the year, independent of 
the time of high water: the voyage will be 
Shortened ten miles to the pissenger, and 
the danger and impediment of crossing Dublin 
Bar and the North Bull be wholly avoided. 
The expence of this public undertaking is 
defrayed by the Imperial Parliament, by a 
vote of which 12,0001. has been already 
granted for that purpose.
