SIR, 
N a tate excursion through Cornwall, 
I saw, near ‘Trevose Head, a bird, 
which the people in that part of the 
country call, a sea-pie. It was less than 
a mag-pie, ‘with plumage of the most 
beautiful kind; consisting of scarlet, 
white, green, and blue. 
Now, Mr. Editor, I should be glad to 
learn from the centieman who favoured 
you with the catalogue, p. 453,. 527, 
vol. xxvi. if he has noticed this bird un- 
der any other name. Also, whether the 
red-leyged, or Cornish daw, p. 434, 1s

afternoon of the 14th of February last, 
two men and a boy were let into Hock- 
ley “pool, near Bu ‘mingham, by the break 
ing of the i ice, where the depth is about 
seven feet, a near to the middle of the 
pool. A young man ‘of the name of 
Thomas Patrick, immediately flew _ te 
their assistance ; there was nu reason te 
suppose that any implements to assist 
bin could possibly be procured in time te 
attord effectual renier, and his presence of 
tind sugeested the only practicable ex- 
pedient, ‘that of endeavouring ta recover 
The 
edve of se ice was sunk below the sur 
face of the water, so that he had to ven- 
ture on his hands and knees to feel for 
the edge, which having attained, he 
threw his coat as far as he. could, keeping 
hold of 1t wizh one hand. By this meaps, 
at the imminent risque of his own lite, ong 
of the men and a boy were rescued ; but 
the ether man perished, being ie tar

reach. Duri i these effarts, two or three 
ther persons came to his assistance; he 
intreated them to withdraw, pereciving 
the impossibility of the ice sustaining any 
additional weigkt; one of them however, 
persisting, was plunged over head in the 
water. Patrick and another were al 
covered, and with much difioulty th
