A young woman. servant to Mr. J.Ward, New rpad, Lincoln, whilst picking her ear with a pin, the head came off and lodged within it; and not- withstanding the best advice and means that could be obtained to dislodge it, but without effect, the poor girl now lies in a most dangerous state, and, ill the greatest agony, and it is feared she will not recover.

The coal field in Munster extends through two or three baronies in the county of of Kerry and Limerick, passing under the Shannon to the county Clare, for an extent of |,000;square miles, but it is of inferior quality: to the Leftrim.

AN UNPLEASANT CUSTOMER.—A New York Paper contains the following article- of newi: — Last weejt Captain R. who fought so gallantly durui £ the late War against a British vessel of ^u^eiirtr forcS, had a dispute With Moris. <PiB, an lOWe^rSwhO serred Under the lat^jBinperorNapo- leoii in several of his eampKigt|f; Theresiflti v»a* a clViilleiige froni tha ^Vendtiman.

He remonstrated and talked loudly, but his courage was somewhat daunted, when he heard ] his opponent address his cpinpaiiion, an old sUiji- mate, as follows, accompanying his words with a flourish of his harpoon, Jack, when I strike the Kfeneliinan, you stand by and play him, Moris. N. not admiring the appearance of his opponent, expressed his willingness to come to an accoin- ihodation, ekplfinatioii followed, an £ t the gentle- ineii quitted the field good friends. THE KINGV COURT, LsvEE, &c-Oii W-ediios- day his Majesty hold his first Levee this season. It,excited considerable interest among the higher orders, and caused a very numerous arid splendid assemblage of the aneient nobility, dignified per- sonages, and others of the gentry to assemble! round his Majesty to pay their duty to their So- vereign, together with a number to be presented on various occasions, amounting to nearly 900. The iKtvelty Of a Levee attracted a number of pectators in Pall Mall and other places letdijig, to the King's Paiae*. Park, &c. at art early hour. The Kjiig arrived in his travelling carriage from Windsor, escorted by a party of Light Hor.se, af1 one o 'clock a humber of persons1 had assembled ronnd .the gate, and greeled his Majesty as he entered, jV. ho acknyvrledged it by graciously touching his travelling cap.

Mr;Th'eIlusson. a man of eceentrie habits,' but of undaunted passion for accumulation, andsplendid success in achieving the victories in which hissoni delifhted, left his immense -savings, by his last i^ill^jn a form quite unprecedented in life or law. The/property was to ac.cumulate for three genera- tions, f.nd was then to devolve upon certain heirs, male of certaui persons, who must not* taste its pleasui-fes: In fiaS# of failure of t|\e precise species of heirs required by Mr., Thellusson, this grand accumulation was bequeathed to the- Sovereign of these realms. Not one age is yet elapsl, when this will has not only1 got into Chancery, but actually got out of it by appeal to the LorO Chancellor on the Woolsack.-Eleven, qf the; twelve Judges, sat on Monday with the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice bein& occupied in the King's Bench. Messrs. Shad well and Sidcbotham spoke at length in support of,the appeal.' Mr. Hart spoke in part on the opposite side.—At four o'clock the Lord ChAneellor ad- journed the further hearing on Monday next-The allotted space below the bar for strangers was crowded to excess.-Ainong. the Peers present were His Royat Highness the Duke of Gloucester- the Marquis of Bath; and Earl. bf BristoJL, Lord Holland, and the Bishop of Chester, -opinion-. generauy, preyaiU that in the present session of Parliament some plan wHl be adopted with a view to render the laws which regulate the importation of foreign grain less uncertain in their operation, and less, Hable"to those .shameless evasions which have been so recently exposed. The plan iii conteiii- piaiiou appears to'be this—that a scale of import duties shall be established, which, added to the cost of foreign grain, shall be an adequate pro- tection totheagricultural interests of this country; thus, supposing that 80s, per quarter for wheat is a remunerating price'to the British farmer, and that foreign wheat can be brought into tlie Eng- lish market at 35s. such a duty must be imposed as would bring it up to 89s. allowing, perhaps, for the difference in qUality but here the great difficulty occurs. We remember when the subject was ou^e agitated in the House of Commons, there was a great difference of opinion as to the price at which foreign wheat could be landed in thispountry l now it is obvious that the question turns upon this point; and that unless some- clear and satisfactory arrangement is adopted for ascer; taining this, the duties may be fixed either too high or too low possibly it. may be thought prudent to provide that periodical returns from official persons, of the price of grain in those countries, which export to the united kingdom, shall be made to the proper authorities nEn7 an W,1;e sorry to observe that in this great question an effort is nuiking" to marshal the coiii., mercial against the agricultural interests this unnatural 'and unjust what are the merchant, the manufacturer, and the agriculturist? they are cUil^Sfrt ofthe state, and the parent is bound, principle' of eq-ulty; to see'tbatt the claims frfen^ child do Hot unfairly interfere with "thoseof #ie Qfhei*. are flilly aWareHhat: the ability of tliB maflufacturer to sell tiis- goods in the foreign market'' depend#mach upoa^tbe »ra.td ttt which his workmen of life ■ihhI Me are equally Jwell aware that while tlie afrl'taflturist has to discharge.tbe present rate; of rent, and those burthens which fall peculiarly on him, te'cannot meetthese calls if prices arede- pressed tauch below their present level.

Mr. WJhit- more 's liiotion on this1 subject comes on the 28th instant.

The pole, or post, with which the fatal blows were inflicted, was proved pyme lanuiauy ot tlie lennis Court to have been taken froni her garden, in which she used it on the Saturday evening; and upon examination the tracks of two pair of shoes were distinctly, followed to and from the spot whence it was takeii, and which tracts were sa- tLstactorily.idenlif e i a a ying. been produced by the shoes worn on that night by Gaines and Isaac Britton. Close to the hedge, immediately oppo- site where the bo ly was found, were seen the jnarks where txo Peosotis had sat dowij,, p the ground, and hpre the track of one of-Cjiines's shoes wa^ again perfectly visible. Butthq most extrjiordiu^ry circuiiista'ntial proof was found on Ihe rpad'side, close by the fatal spot. Here was seen the jjlace where a man had sat down on the I)a, t r. the wlili his feet resting against the inside of fhe ditch; the marks made by the shoes, although t hey were effaced before an oppor- t tunijy could be had fyr fitting them were doubtless, ) producsii by those worn by Waiting; that was fnlly h subslautjated by a peculiarity in the mending ofthe Jrhoes,. whipb was pointed out upon the first ex- aqtf^»iKMin.pf the trapj. by one of the witnesses,1 ,was iaken iiiwi^'aSiesiy, as aa;^f>.que^ionablecQrrpborarfon of-hiipresence an jnsiieciioii of the mark upon th^ bank showed; <hat th* person who, ^at there had wqcn cOrd. !'breeds upon tho seat of which there was a 4- ie materia I than th^t ofthe material! was made, and that part of i Whiting s dress corresponded with tile impression r lu ,every minute ..particular!

i ^ THE MENAI BRIDGE. .-
i THE MENAI BRIDGE. THE first chain of this stupendous work was thrown over the Straits of Menai, on Tuesday ». -Jfot*, the day' was calm, and highly propitious for !the purpo.su. An immense concourse of people began to assemble on the Anglesey and Carnar- vonshire shores, about 12 at noon precisely at half*past two o'clock, it being then about half- flood tide, the raft, stationed on the Carnarvon- shire side, near Treborth Mill, which supported the chain intended to be drawn over, more gradually from its moorings, towed by four boats to the centre of the river, between the two grand piers; when this was brought to its ultimate situation, it was made fast to buoys anchored n the channel for that specific purpose. The whole of this process was accomplished in 23 i,iii.nutes.. The end of the chain, pending from theitop of the pyramid on the Carnarvonshire side do wn to 'high-Water mark, was then made fast by bolts, to t that part of the chain lying on the raft, which vas completed in ten minutes. The next process Was fastening the other end of the chain (on the raft) to two immense powepfal blocks, for the purpose of hoisting the entit-e chain to its intend- ed station, ihe top of the pyramid on-the Angle- sey side • when the blocks were made secure to tire chain (weighing 25 tons weight of iron) two c-kuxtans and also two preventive capstans com- toWitted forking,each prop'elled by 2-limen. The zfi; tention of the numberless spectators assembled oa. the occasion, seemed, at this interesting juncture, aUrivxtted to the grand spectacle now presented to their anxious view; the chain rose majestically, ami ttie sight was enthusiastically enjoyed: by each individual. Precisely1; at 50 minutes after four o'clock, -the final bolt%as fixed, which com- pleted thfe wtte»le line o( chain, and the event Was hailed foV^ha f«?arty acclamations of the nttnter- ons senators '.jwesent, which, had a beautiful effect ►from the reechoed sound occasioned by the heights of tbe opposite banks of the river. The whole process of the operation, from the casting off of the raft, to the uniting of the chasiy: tOq: up two hours and twenty minutes, which ap- pears truly astonishing when the magnitude of the work is cionsidered, and which has not its equal.iii the.known world. Up^n the completion of the chain, three of the workmen, viz. Hugh Davies, stone ma- son, William Williams, labourer, and John Wil- Manis, carpenter, had the temerity to pass along the upper eurface of the chain, which forms a de-v H c^rviture of 59(1 feet. On Wednesday last, the inhabitants of the loyal

INVERNESS, APHM. 18.—Saturday last, wliile some workmen were employed intrenching ground about half a ihile distant from the great Druid's' [ temple they discovered a stone coffin,, I, about three feet long, two feet broad, and two, fj^et deep, formed of slabs neatly joined together The interior of this collin was filled with a mix- ture apparently composedof sand and burnt bonefe, or ashes, roilied quite smooth on the top and embedded in this substance were two small urns, or sepulchral vases. These are in high preserva- tion.- The age in:which we live is distinguished by nothing more than by its novels.

Briseo, the Judges ntgt, i'Ai Inn hall, on Thursday evening >to decide upon the appeal made to the Court of Dulegates. The suit was first commenced by Lady Brisco. about eleven years since, when she, prated for U divorce by reason of adultery and cruelty. Sir Wastell shortly after commended his suit against the Lady. and prayed for a di- vorce, on the ground that his Lady had been guilty of adultery. The case has been carried through the Ecclesiastical Courts, and the parties have expended hot less than 11,0001. on the proceedings* The Delegates have had two long consultationsr upon the point submitted to them. but hitherto: they have befen unable to come to any conclusion^. The following curious circumstance in the na- tural history-of the hawk is from Captain Ccch- ramlI recent travels in Columbia. When oir the point of foitiing the rrver," says he, "I ob- served a small-hawk, flying with a branch of a tree in his moUtli, which he dropped on. the, bahk near me, and coinmenced eating. I immediat^y rode up to see what he was devouring, and disco- vered that it was,a wasp's nest, formed in the forked part of the "sman branch of a tree; the hawk had by constant pecking, broken t,lie,b.raileii With his beak, and had then flown with his prey to the river where he had well ducked them, for the wasps appeared half drowned, and then, as they commenced crawling out of their cells, the haw,k ate them one by one."
