JVHSCELLANY:
, Tobacco Riot at Cambridge ITulveraltj.
, - A entlcm; n rashly tissayed Friday
night, JNov. 3d, to give a lecture in Lam
bridge against the use of tobacco: The
room was crammed long before he com
'inenced with under-graduates, provided
with pipes and cigars, squibs and crackers:
. -and the lecture had not proceeded far when
it was interrupted by cries of "Three cheers
tor btr Walter, Kaleigh. . The lecturer be
coining angered, with the increasing disor
der, made an observation that 'he had ex
pected on comitTg to a University town to
address gentlemen-, and not a lot of black
guards." This was the signal for increas
-ed'not3e and confusion, during which pipes
and cigars were set alight in alj directions,
und a number of persons who had entered
the gallery which had been closed to the
under graduates) were saluted with a show
er of Sqnrbs and crackers. " -The
riot continuing, the Mayor and Mr.
- EL Browne, one of the borough magistrates,
appeared upon the platform, but were not
iwtened to, and retired, the under gradu
atts immeifiHtely following up their retreat
by storming the platform, and '-proposing
n amendment that tobacco is anything
but pernicious." Amidst the confusion a
policeman collared an under graduate who
was breaking up one of theYortns, whereup
on the under graduate immediately struck
out with his fists, and shouting out 'gown,'
a rush of the gownsmen was made, and
the silly fellow was borne off in triumph,
amid the crash of seats and loud hurnh.
The whole of the police had by this time
mrrived, and a desperate fight er.sned, "the
-constables using their staves freely and
- making sundry piisoners, whom they lodg
ed in the old sessions just as the senior
;proctor, the Rev. Mr. Eddleston, of Tiinity
College, arrived.
On the arrival of the proctor, the prison
ers capitulated, and havirg given their
names and colleges, were allowed to ' pro
ceed home.
On Saturday night again, notwithstand
ing that the proctors nssis'ed by a number
of masters of arts, paraded the to a h, seve

A subsequent attempt on Sunday the 5th.
on the part of some 200 students to get up
-another tobacco- row, waff defeated by the
-college officials, when the town magistra
tes determined to imprison the paru'cipt-
, tants, an operation which was effected by
locking the doors of the chapel while the
. young men were at evening prayers.
.On Wednesday, at the Town Hall, Rih
ard Clayton and Charles Wood were placed
in the dock to answer to a charge of assault
ing the police in the execution of their duty..
Both of the young -men, who appear to
have acted with great violence, were fined
. 5 each, and expenses. " V;: ?
" The ffne was imtnediattly paid, the a
moonts having been soon made up to the
. defendants bx.a " whip," among sympathi
sing under graduates.

MISCELLANY.
ANECDOTE OF SPANISH GYPSIES
A band of gitnrtot ht'mg in the neigh
borhood of a village, one of the women
went to a house where lived a lady alone
This lady was a widow, rich, without chil
dren, and of very handsome person. Af
ter saluting; her, the gipsy repeated the
harangue which she had already studied,
to the effect that there was neither bache
lor, widower, nor married man, nobleman,
nor gallant, endowed with a thousnnd
graces, who was not dying for love of her;
and then continued M Lady, I have con
tracted a great affection for you, and since
I know that you well merit the riches you
possess, notwithstanding you live heetllebs
of your good fortune, I wish to reveal to
you a secret. You must know, then, that
in your cellar you have a : vast treasure;
nevertheless, you will experience great dif -(icultyin
arriving at it, as it is enchanted,
and to remove it is impossible, save and
alone on the ere of Sl John. W are,
now at the eighteenth of June, and it wanl
five days lo the tweniy-ihird ; therefore, in
the meanwhile, collect some jewels of gold
nnd silver, and likewise some , money,
whatever you please, t rovided it be not
copper, and provide six topers of white or
yellow wax, for at the lime appointed I will
come w:th a sister of mine, when we will
extract from the cellar such an abundance
of riches, that you will be able to live in a
style which will excite the envy of ihe
whole country." The ignorant w:dow,
hearing these words, put implicit confidence
in the deceiver, and imagined that she nl
ready possessed all the go 1.1 of Arabia and
the silver of Potosi. The a pointed d;iy
arrived, and not more punctual were the
two gipsies than anxiouslv expected by the
lady. Being asked whether she had pre
pared all as she had been desired, she re
plied in the affirmative, when I lie gipsy
thus addressed her: "You must know,
good lady, ibat gold calls forth gold, ami
silver calls forth silver; let us light these
topers, and descend to the cellar before it
grows late, in order that we may have time
for our conjurations." Thereupon ihe irio,
the wiJow und the two gipsies, went down,
and having lighted ihe tapers and placed
them in candlesticks in the shape of a cir
cle, they deposited in the midst a silver
tankard, with some pieces of eight, and
some corals lipped with gold, and other
jewels of small value. They then told
the lady that it was necessary forthein all
to return to the stnir-case by which they
had descended to the cellar, und there thry
uplifted their hands, nnd remained for tt
short time as if engaged in prayer. Th
two gipsies then bade the widow wail for
them, and descended again, when ihey
commenced holding a conversation, speak
ing and answering allernately, and alter
ing their voices in such a manner that five
or six people appeared to be in the cellar.
''Bless little Sl John," said one, "will it bo
possible to remove the treasure which you
keep hidden here 7" -Oh, yes ; and with
a little more trouble it shall be yours." re
plied the gipsy sister, alining her voice tr
a thin treble, as if it proceeded from ;i
child four or five years old. In the mean
time, the lady remained astonishnfj, expect,
ing the promised riches, and th two gita
nos presently coming lo her, said, Corn"
op, lady, for our desire is upon the point v(
being gratified. Bring now. the Lost petti
coat, gown, and mantle, which you have
in your chest, that I may dress myself, and
appear in other guise to what I do now."
The simple woman, not perceiving the trick
tbey were playing upon her, ascended with
th-m tothe doorway, and, leaving them
alone, went to felch the things which they
demanded.- Thereupon the two gipsies,
seeing themselves at liberty, and having
already pocketed the gold and silver which
had been deposited for the cor,iuratiot.
opened the street-door, and escaped with
all the speed they could. So much f. r
ihir divination, their foreseeingr thtnrs to
come, their power over the secrets of na
ture, and their knowledge of the stars.

A CASE OF CONSCIENCE.
Friend Broadbrim,' said Zephaniuh
Siraitlace to his master, a rich Quaker of
ihe city of Brotherly Love, 'ihou canst not
eat of that leg of mutton at thy noouliiie
