In a large public building in Leeds, the Co- 
‘loured Cloth Hald, consisting of five streets, 
averaging one hundred yards each, which is 
now raising, cast-iron is substituted for wood 
in the main beamings3; which renders the 
buildings fire proof. 
The following relation or a curious fact in 
natural history is copied from the Leeds Mer- 
cury: ‘* We have always felt a little scepti- 
cai on reading in the papers the accounts of the 
fatal effects produced on some occasions by 
eating duck eggs; but a circumstance has 
lately occurred in this neighbourhood, that 
must remove all doubts on this subject. A 
short time ago, a duck belonging to Mr. John 
Clemishaw, of Winmoor, near Leeds, laid an 
egg, rather ahove the ordinary size, which 
was broken for the purpose of being -cooked 
for dinner; but, on examination, the contents 
were found to consist of a dark muddy slime, 
neither resembling the yoik nor the white of 
an egg, in the middle of which was deposited 
a young snake, of the tength of ten inches! 
When the egg was broken the reptile unfold- 
ed itself, and remained apparently ina healthy 
state for about twenty hours, when, having 
wrapt itself up again, jt soon after died, and 
is now preserved in spirits by Mr. Clemishaw.
