In pursuance of an act lately passed for build ng a new county gaol, house of correction, county court, and other public buildings for this county, the magistrates lately met at Maidstone, and fixed on a space of Twelve acres of land as the site of the said intended buildings. The sum for the purchase of land, and to be expendea on the buildings, is estimated at 100,0001

A siver eel, of a size the most remarkable that we believe has ever been recorded in the annals of natural history, was a few days snce taken by some labouring men on the muday shores of the Medway, not far from the lime works above Rochester. This remarkable animal was six feet long, about twenty five or thirty inches in circumierence, and weighed thirty-four pounds; when oressed the flesh was exceedingly white, and of most delicious flavour This animal was so extremely powerful, and made such vigorous efforts to escape from the men whilst they were attempting to secure it, that one of them was fairl, bearen down by it. The Thames, the Medway, and some contiguous rivers furnish the largest specimens of the fresh water cei of any part of Europe. Mr. Dale commemorates the taking of two of them in the Philosophical Transactions; one near Cricksea, in Essex, was five feet five inches long, measured twenty-six inches round, and weighed about twenty pounds. The other was caught near Maldon, and was seven feet long, twenty-seven inches in circumference, and weighed about thirty pounds. In the year 1748, one of these large eels, was also taken at Limehouse, where it was left on shore by the tide, it was five feet six inches long, and as thick as a man's thigh, its weight was twenty-seven pounds.

At Petersfield, Mr. Charles Cave, surgeon; the circumstance of whose death must excite caution to the profession. On the Saturday se'nnight previous to his death, a sea-faring man was attacked, whilst at Petersfield, with a violent inflammation in the lungs; and after being attended several times during the day by Messrs. Cave and Whicher, he died the next morning. The surgeons being of various opinions as to the real cause of his death, agreed to open the body, which they did on Monday morning, and found the lungs in a complete state of putrefaction. They afterwards sewed up the body, in doing which they pricked their fingers; and in the evening, both of them were seized with violent pains in the arms, which soon extended to nearly the whole body. Mr. Cave, after enduring the most excruciating pains, died on the following Monday. Mr. Whicher is still alive, though suffering extreme pain; but his hand and arm have been opened by several of the most skilful surgeons of the neighbourhood, and from the metropolis, and a discharge being obtained from the wounds, it is hoped his life will be saved.
