After a few successful battues in the Highlands,
it is not at all unusual for one London firm to
?eoeiYe five, thousand head of game, and as
many as twenty to thirty thousand larks are
often sent up to the market together. Ostend
sends annually six hundred thousand rabbits.
Ireland sends largo docks of plovers and quail
sare brought from Egypt and the South of Eu
rope. Some seventeen thousand quails on one
occasion descended upon London via Liverpool,
whither they had been brought from the Ro
suein.Campaign. Of the two million fowls that
every 'year flank the boiled tongues on the
tables of the residents of London, by far the
greater number are drawn from the counties of
curry and Sussex. Ireland also senile, mitch
poultry. No less than fourteen hundred tons
of chickens, geese and ducks are taken to Lon
don annually by the Great Western railway.
In washing these 'edibles down tbeir throats
the Londoners consume, in addition tts

States be satisfied that nothing can be expected
from the North, and they will cease to delib

of these States the question of .secession will
be submitted to a direct vote of the people,
Upon their determination the fate of the Union
depends; and , their ultimate decision will be
controlled by the attitude of the North. They
look- to the Union men of the North to lend
thom it helping hand in this trying emergency,
and to spare them the extreme necessity of re
sorting to secession, by offering proper guar
esitees that their rights, their persons, their
property and their future well being shall be
secured and protected within the Union. Will
the North hesitate to extend the right hand of
fellowship to the Union men of the border
States ?
If anything is to be done it should be done ,
promptly. Every dare delay increases the
peril. The secession States, together with
their coadjutors in the. border States, are pull
ing, powerfully one way. The violent, un
yielding Republicans are driving these border
States in'the same direction. The extremes on
both sides hove united against them, placing
them between two galling fires. In this emer

hesitate. Will they not act promptly ?

Tribune to obtain accurate information as to
the secret intentions of the authorities of South
Carolina, without it shares the counsels and is
in league with therevolutionists. In this con
spiracy to break up the, Union, there are two ,
parties' at work—the secessionists and their
Northern alders and ahOters, who work to
gether harmoniously in endeavoring to drive
the border States into the disunion movement-.
The secessionists are opposed to compromise,
because it irould have the. effect of detatohing
the border States from them—and the Tribune
party are dead-set against concession because
it might deter these States from secession.—

LUDICROUS MISTAKE IN A TRANSLATION.—
Miss Cooper, daughter of the novelist, in a late
work entitled "Pages and Pictures," gives an
amusing account of the blunder of the trans
lator who first rendered her father's novel,
"The Spy," into the French language. Read
ers of the book will remember that the resi
dence of the *harton faintly was called "The
Locusts." The translator referred to bib dic
tionary, and found' the rendering the word-to
be Les Sauterelles, "The Grasshoppers.". But
when he found one of the dragoons represented
as, tying his horse to one of the locusts on the
lawn, it would appear as if he might have been
at fault. Nothing daunted, however, but- :ta
king it for granted that American grasshoppert
must be of gigantic dimensions, he gravely in
forms his readers that the dragoon secured his
charger -by fastening the bridle to , one of the
grasshoppers before' the door--apparently
standing there for'that purpose.

P..Toll7lBend, dnugl)ter.ig Dr... Townsend, died
a few days ago at :her residence,, in Hawkins
street, Boston,.where, she was .born and lived
for 65 years. The Boston ileraid says :—She
was reputed to be worth $lOO/000, yet she was
never known to mingle in society or to receive
any of her relatives M- her house since the
death of her sister, who also preferred a single
life to a married one. The only attendant
which was ever permitted in the house was a
woman. Since the death of the Doctor the
carriage-house has remained closed, and no one
was allowed to enter it. When Miss Townsend
was first taken.lll she was advised to consult a
physician, but she refused, and continued ob-
stinate to the last. Neither would she allow a
single person in her room while sick and. dying,
excepting her female servant. - Like,her• sister,
she is supposed to have loft all, her wealth for

A Wires REVENGE.— Tragic End of a Faith
less Husband.—The New York Express of Mon
day relates the following singular. story .
Some eight years ago a handstinte young Po
lender wooed and won a damsel Mite his owu
native land. Everybody beint willing, .the
nuptial rite was performed, and 'the 'hilippy,
.couple took tip-their abode in this eity;.whwe .
Mr. P----earned a comfortable subsistence
Matters vassed On as usual lizir.tiefiily relight

provided be started immediately. In compli
ance with her husband's request, and like a
dutiful wife, Mrs. P. peeked up the wearing
apparel of her liege lord, and all things were
readiness for Mr. P —'s departure. A feW
hours before Mr. P--;.--was to start, a lady friend
(!) ealled on Mrs. P—, and communicated to
her the startling intelligence that the business
that Mr. P—was going to engage in at Chi
cago was-neither-more nor less than a matri
monial engagement with a young lady to whom
he had beeerne attached and engaged a few
months before in, this city, Though startled
by the intelligence, Mrs. P-- kept her own
counsel, end determined ppm revenge. Mr.
P—took hie departure with every indication
of intense affection on both sides.
The train next to the one in which Mr. P.
was seated contained Mrs. P. and the two chil
dren. In the Mule of time all the parties
arrived at Chicago, Mrs. P. arriving on the ,
morning of the day thst her husband was to
be married. She attired herself and her chil
dren io.holiday raiment, and went to the house
of the bride a few moments before the ceremony
took place. The porter at the door supposed_
her to be an invited guest, and ushered her
into the parlor. As soon as the children saw.
Mr_ P. they embraced, him and called him_
papa. An ecclairissentent followed; the bride
fainted, the mamma swooned ; Mr. P. grew
pale, while the brother of, the bride adminis
tered a sound chastisement to the would-be
bridegroom. Stung by the proof of her hus
bands' faithlessness, Mrs. P. became eo excited
that, in a fit of passion, she ruched into the
kitchen where the 'bridal feast was being pre
pared, and seizing allossol containing hot soup,
rushed into, the parlor, and before a hand
could be raised to dissuade her from her- pur
pose, the entire contents were throw over-Mr.
P_ scalding him dreadfully. ...Amid shrieks of
pain,: Mr. P.:was taken•to the hospital, his skin
utterly peeling off on .the way. About two
weeks aftertis admission to the- hospital he
died' in great agony. - An- investigation was
had, but owing to the difficulty of procuring
witnesses, Mrs. T. was released, and returned '
to this city a widow, a sadder, if not a wiser

Their motto is to be "May. the best man win,"
and both sections are to submit as soon as the
contest, is decided. If South . .Carolina first

LORD NADIRR AND. BID JOHN CIMIIPTON.--
Lord-Napier seems to follow 'Sir John Cramp,
ten hard; he succeeded the baronet at Wash
ington, and naw, that Cranapton.is transferred
from At. retersbu rg to, Madrid, his Lordship
once more fills. the vacant post. It is strange
to notice of how much. consenttence thagentler
sex has been amid these : diplomatic changes.—
Sir John is recalled, from. Russia, not, for,pelit
ical. reams,- not for making a bad treaty,, or
being overreached in .a cabinet intrigue, but
for marrying an opera , singer. Miss Victoria
Balfe, (who captivated
,the naliy nhi bachelor,
whom. no Washington.belles could ensnare). as
an English , ambassadress; took precedence of
many of the great court ladies on the ; Nev*; •of
course, these great ladies could not tolerate
that one who had sung for their amusement on
the stage, should bare the pea in their own
drawing rooms; , they submitted while they
must, but soon got up•a cabal, which the En
glish Government itself was not strong enough
to resist.; and, after taking Sebaetepol, Great
Britain was glad enough to retire in The person
of her ambassador, from St. Petersburg. So
the indignant pride of the Russian Princesses
was appeased. They no longer follow in the
wake_of an ex-singer :from the opera. Lord
Napier, too, is said, in Washington gossip. to
have been summoned from our Republican
Court because of the offence the rumors of his
gallantries gave in the rigitl circles ofEt. James.
