We have seen a person in the last condition who was poison- ed*by jnrxlrig- and sifting materials which contained arsenic ; he recovered in a few days. The treatment for poisoning with arsenic is Jo promote vomiting by copious drinks of warm water, milk, water sweeten ed with sugar or honey, decoctions of flax seed, marsh mallows, &c. It is to be lc°pt in mind that our observations connected with each poison comprise only what is to be done at the moment-before the arrival of a p’vsician. Sufficient injury commonly results to require much subsequent medical attendance. A person poisoned with vtrdsgris or oth- - er compounds of copper is to be treated with whites ofeggs and generally as mentioned tinder corrosive sublimate.

This lady was to have been marr ed on the very day that con signed her to disgrace and imprisonment, to an ignom moos trial <md punishment. She was detected on the previous evening, hav ing gone into a fashionable shop in Dame street, accompanied by another young lady, to purchase wedding favours. The young men in the shop were led to watch her nar rowly, from having a few days before miss ed a crape shawl and some ribbons after this lady had been in the shop. On the present occasion she was observed to secret a piece ©f white ribbon in her reticule, and a police officer was sent for, who took her into cus tody, and brought her to the office. £he gave her name and address, and, on being required, the key of her trunk ; on search ing which, the officer found the missing shawl and ribbons, and fifty pounds in bank notes. The 'young lady who was in com pany with the prisoner was excessively shocked at the discovery of her friend’s de- linqency ; she was of course immediately di. qharged ; the other was kept in custody, by the office during night, and was yesterday brought up for further examination. Little more transpired than we have already rela ted, except that on the morning of her ap prehension, she had gone into the shoo of a respectable silversmith, where she pur chased six tea spoons, but managed, at the same Lm to secrete two or three trifling articles. gentleman to whom she wa$ to have married, appeared yesterday at the police office, who endeavoured to console, hy bta presence, the object of his affections, verifying the words of the poet— “ I ask not, I care not, if guilt’s in that heart, But I know, that I love thee, whatever thou ail.” It is a melancholy consolation to know ‘that the lady is one of those who are occa sionally found addicted to the vice of pilfer- without the temptation of necessity, atever may have led her to it in the nt instance, it is evident from the ef- er novel situation lias produced upon her* that shame and anguish rend her breast; and we understand that those who saw her on tl j'e previous evening would scarcely owu her when she was b.-ought lje- magistrates yesterday morning ; the humanity cf ■ *r.

In the mean time the tigress had recovered from the toss she had got and made new preparations to spring upon the keeper, who was upon the back of the elephant. Again the tigress sprang upon the man, and again the ele phant interposed his trunk and tossed the tigress a second time to the farthest extre mity of the Circus. This pitch wounded the side of the tigress, and finding there was no use in trying further to tap the Jugular of the keeper sne sneaked into her cage with what she ( had got. While this business was going on, the tiger himself had begun to look round. On raising his head from the lama, the first thing that struck him was the lion, sitting in his cage with great dig nity and unconcerned. The tiger showed his teeth ; the .lion slighly showed his name. The tiger drew back on his hind legs to make a spring; the lion rose up with dignity and shot fire from his eyes. The tiger sprung at the cage with great fury, forcing one of his claws in between two of the bars ; and at the same instant the lion seized the tiger’s fore foot, caught it firmly between his tusks, pulled the whole leg into the cage, and held him there until the Vesper seeing the opportunity, flung himself from the back of the elephant,, ran with his noose to the tiger and secured, him in a moment. After this was accomplished the ftion generously let go his hold, and the keeper dragged the both.

We are sorry to hear j some complaints of irregularity and particularly of delay in receiving our papers, and if we can discover any impropriety on our part, it shall be immediately rectified.—The new mail arrangement is as unhappy as could have been devised, and we cannot change our publication day for one that will not affect as many badly as those it will benefit: in one instance, the papers have unfor tunately to lie five days before they proceed. We have a hope however of procuring some alteration in tins respect. To the “Augusta Chronicle” we feel obliged for his compliments, and thankful for his advice, though we must confess we do not exactly understand what he conceives to be “ the rock on which our predecessor split.” If our cash account is to be relied on, it was a good round “ Dei gratia” a thousand times told, that “ split” him, and should it ever be our fate to “split,” wo liope it may be on at least as comfortable a “ rock.” No intelligence from Europe of a later date than that contained in our last has been received. But little doubt is entertained as to the necessity of a col lision between England and Spain, for the protection of Portugal from the aggressions of the latter. The government of Spain, presenting but a wreck of its former greatness, unsustained by that proud and haughty spirit of the Castilians, which was once its glory and defence, existing not as an independent nation, but as a branch of the government of France, whose will, dictates and controls her destiny, she can present to the Colossal power of England but few obstacles to victoiy, unless supported by the “ Coalition of Tyrants” against free governments, An effort for the conquest of Cuba may, we thinkjbe predicted with safety, should the interference of Spain with the affairs of Portugal be persisted in a prediction, which, although probable, is discredited by some of our Anti-American brethren, who in their filial attachment would attempt to lull apprehension upon the subject, however well founded. An extraordinary instance of animal sa- immunse. It being the time of Martinmas' Fair at Inverness, numbers of poor country people in returning home on the night of tlie 24th, lost their lives. The snow is repre seuted to have drifted in some places in the Highlands, South of Inverness, to the depth of 100 feet. The Caledonian Stage Coach, between Perth and Inverness was left buried in the snow—the passengers made their way on foot to the latter place. The suffer ing and narrow escapes of some of the tra vellers upon different roads, as detailed in the papers, are almost incredible.
