Keen and Significant.— When the editor of the Bulletin said “ We are under conviction that," <fec., the editor of the Sunday Mercury retorted.; “This is not the first time that the editor of the Bulletin has been under conviction." . A most disgraceful piece of cannibalism has occurred at Hartlepool. A blacksmith, named James Smith, and a groom, named John Scott, were indulging pretty freely in John Barleycorn at 9 public-house in the market-place, when they “ fell out.” They had a “set-to” in the room, and Scott bit Smith’s ear clean off. The fracas still continued notwithstanding the loss of Smith’s auricular appendage, and before they were tired Smith returned the compliment by seizing hold of Scott’s ear and biting it off. We generally prefer new articles to old ones the new madet to the old maids.
