De was not then considered to be in any danger. Pram the 7th to the 14th, lie wily left his roans onto to visit the Emptess. Oa the 15th, evident symptoms of typhus fever appeared, and leeches were applied at the request of the Rasmus and PrineeNitiooskie. His Majesty partook of the sacnnsent i the Priest delivered a sermon, and the Emperor said, " Je suis hien tranquil faites de mol, ce que vous voudriez." On hearing these words, the Impress thought all hope was lost, and passionately exclaimed, Ce ne que Dieu qui petit nous la &veer." Renault, on the 15th, was called in, and said, there is nn hope. On the 16th, the fever was very violent and for an hour his Majesty remained silent. On the 17th, he still knew every one about him. He frequently pressed the hand of the .Empress, who Dever left him. When a blister, which had been was removed, he said feebly, " que [aims vous de moi." 4 In the 18th, the writer says, he, until last night, had hope, but how In; Nlnjesty's situation is very alarming, and we are instantly expect ing his decease. •On the }9tb, about eleven in the morning, the :emperor died. A short time before his decease, be took the hand of the kmpress. coveted it with kisses.and placed it next his heart. 'the Empress threw herself on the body, and remained there a long time without even the power to weep. SIR WALTER SCOUT AND THE GERMAN BOOKSELLERS. For many years the German booksellers prtvided a translation of one of the Waverley Novels for the Leipsic Fair. One year they were disappointed of a new work, but determined their customers I should not be, and a novel was published at the fair as usual: it was called Walleadereer," and professed to be translated from the English of Sir Walter "Scott. This, however, was a hoax, but a clever one, and WelleubPsoor sold as weft as any of the Waverley Novels—nay. such was its merit, that it was even translated into F.nglisb, and published in London. A similar trick stenos prepiring with Sir Walter's Life of Nitrates's, for Messrs. Schumann, heaters, booksellers at Zuickaw, have advertised in the Allgemeirte Zeilieng, and other Papers, " that the Ist volurtie of the Life of Xapplecus, by Sir Walter Scott, has been lately published in London; that it will consist of five large volumes, tivo. and he all published by the end of August; that a Dr. Barmann is making a translation, which they will publish in seven pocket volumes (with copper plates), the first two to be delivered to the subscribers in June, and the whole before the end of the year. They will also print an Edition in F..nglish, and the price is to be about fifteenpence a volume." Now it is well known that no part of Sir Walter's lie eNnpe leo* has yet appeared in London, or been announced for early pub lication, though we have heard that the first volume has been printed. If so, can a copy have found its way to Germany; or is this like Iresiladmoor, an imposition? We suspect the latter. REVENUE TAXATION.

' - MELTING AT ST. - . For some Stkonths past the - 1;47141d St. Liketaili in an unusual ferment, owing sp sn erpected•e for the situation of restrtieleris.. One of the past& Mr. Wilke, had filled tht office for the last sixteen yba, _ - - The other candidate vi as a Mr. Florence.. Among the reasons urged for the removal of Mr.Wilks, it was stated, that his demeanour' to the parishioners was at all times haughty and overbearing; that he had evinced unne cessary harshness and rigour to the poor; that he derived too gnat an income from his office; that he was a Dis water from the established religion; that he had been the tilicitor to the notin ions Equitable Loan Company ; that he had rated many of the houses in the parish at too high a rate ; and that he had opposed the *Adam izing Finsbury-place, in npposit on to the wishes of the inhabitants. These objections bid been urged against Jr.N Wilk: from time to time, and the new candidate, in order to strengthen his claims to the support of the Ve.trymen, had offered, it was said, to execute the duties of the office of Vestry-clet k fur hat the sum which Mr. Wilks derived from the office. Accordingly, a numerous meeting of Vestrymen assembled yesterday, at an early hour, at St. Luke's Chuic' , , in order to open - the proceedings. Hod after some p,eliminary matters were disposed of, Mr. POTTlia, one of the Churchwardens, was called to the Chair. Alderman BRowN then rose for the purpose of pro posing Mr. Wilk' as a fit and competent person ter per form the duties of Vestry-clerk, a situation which he had held for the space of cistern years, and to which h • was fully competent. Sir C. Fumes seconded the motion. Mr. YEATS, 'hen rose for the purpose of naming Mr. Florance for the °Nice of Vestry-clerk ; In doing so he was actuated by no feeling of hostility to Mr. Wilke. Mr Minor seconded the motion. A discussion of rather a stormy nature then followed, and several gentlemen, among whom were Mr. Bateman and bin. Melnce, delivered their sentiments in support of the respective candidates. Mr. WILDS then rose. He did notlear to court the scrutiny of those by whom he was accused. He was charged with accepting 1001. 4 year more than he had solicited from the pari s h for his long aid laborious services. Yes, he had been accused of taking this addi tional 1001. a year, which was unanimously voted tia him by a vestry, consisting of 300 respectable inhabi tants; and the day on which that vote was passed, he should ever'consider as the proudest of his life—not in consideration of the addition which it brought to his income, but because that vote implied that his long and faithful services were appreciated by his I ellow. parishioners. He would ask, what were the marvellous changes which bad occurred since last Easter Tuesday, when the vote was passed to increase his salary, that men's minds should have turned against him, and that he who was supported unanimously then, s',ould now be held up as an object of sospician and distrust ? With respect tooth; cuarge brought against him of op posing the M•Adamiziag of Finsbury-place, he was not ashamed to say that it was with a view of sarriag the parish the expense of that measure that lie voted against it. In doing so he had sacrificed his private interest ti. his sense of public duty; for while be opposed the mea sure, he offered to pay 501. out of his own pocket if the inhabitants would consent to have the place M.Adam iied by private subscription ; or he offered to give double the annual suhscrip:bn any of the inha b itants in order to effect that objet. .4* to the charge tit not oitihg icindly to the poor, he appealed to the acts of his past life for proof of his .humanity. Out 'of the fifty-six' guardistas of the poor belonging to the parish, five only hid come torwaid to advance .that charge, but with well a majority in his faVour he had litile,..need to feel issteasy on . that Score: .Ue had never given intentional Offence to any person connected wiih the parish, and he invited the veitrytnen who were present to say if he had ever offered an insult to one of them (4 voice in the crowd. " taro one to whom you offered an in+ult")— Then make room for-the Gentleman, and let him Stole his grievance. Two of the vestrymen then pressed forward, but their slid not suc ceed in establishing any grounds of complaint against Mr: Wilk'. Mr. Wit.ns theft resumed.—He was happy that those Gentlemen had come forward, because their objections proved that is point of tact there was no just grounds of complaint against him. The parishioners should pause before they discharged an old and faithful servant, againit whose character not a whisper of suspicion had been heard. Would they deprive a man of his livelihood, and send him into the world with a brand of infamy open him ? Mr. With. having concluded, Mr. frustums presented hitrself to the meetirg. He was invited by Gentlemen of integrity and hoitourable character to offer himself to their notice. He made himself no party to the charges advansed against Mr. Willa, and he disclaimed any personal hostility to that Gentleman. The question was then pot from the Chair, and both candidates being proposed, a chew of heads was taken for each, and a trifling majority appeased in favour of Mr. Wilks. The friends of Mr. Flora:ice, however, who were numerous, demanded shallot, which being agreed to, this day and to-morrow, from eine to four, were appointed for receiving the votes, and the meeting shortly after- I wards dispersed. CORONER'S INQUESTS. An Inquest was taken before.Tnomets Hines Esq. the Deputy Coroner for Westtrkinster, at the White Lion, Hart -street, Covent•garden, on the ►ody of Mrs. Catherine Rowe, the wife of a respectable tradesman ' residing in that neighbourhood. The case afforded a melancholy instance of the fatal consequences which are likely to ensue from a too free use of ardent spirit.. The deceased, who, from the evil. dence, it appeared, lad beet in a state .of 'continued in•oxication for several days past e was found sitting in a chair quite dead. The medical geraleman, who had exerted himself to the utmost to. restore .animation with out effect, vote it as his bhe had died of a fit brought on by.her psevious.irnegular habits..

Hawes Vested many eulogiums, Mr. IHunt observed, that tieing Mr. Hawes full credit for his character of the Revs Gentleman, who, he believed, merited all the praises bestowed, he. nevertheless, thought that when the times pressed so hardly on the poor, and indeed upon•all classes. some aitelition should he paid to economy. He understood a man who had worked' for Mr. Hawes, with a wife and five children, had some time ago applied to the parish for telief, be;ng Out of, work, and could obtain only 7s. per week ; his wages at the best of times were 15F. per 'week, and dist he could obtain but 75., while his salary had been but 15s. a week when in employ. The Rector, he undristood, had another living—small fees—that amounted to 7001. a year in this parish—in a'l, above 1,0091. a' year, which sum was able to mainta:n 1,500 families, at 15s. per week, and that, while such wits the case, " bought the parish should not be called upon for any additional expenses; that nothing should be laid out unles im peii_ously called for; and that he hoped on that day twelVemonth he should be able to sati-fy the Vestry as to 'he necessity of frugality, and a more equitable divi sion ofihe Palish Roes. Mr. B. Hawes eeptessed hims-If with some indigna tien at the allusion made by Mr. Hunt to the men in his employ. They ha.: a fund to support them in time of need, and never, to his knowledge, asked for parochial relief; he vionght it was very ungentlemanly to make such an allusion.—EHere Mr. Hunt declared he meant nothing invidious Mr.Hawe..j—Mr. liawes resu ming, . 'said that although he never 'attended the Church, he contributed more to it than any one that did, and claimed the support of the Vestry to his' motion. A lit•sultory conversation arose, in which Mr. Hamm, jun. made a painted allusion to ,Ir. Hunt's blacking, in reply to which Air. iluar observed, that the question for the consideration •of the Parish would not be illustrated by allusions either to blackiag or ssaitswis.--The question was put, and Mr. Hunt acquiescing, not. withstanding many interruptions, was carried. Upon a motion that the Rector should be allowed a further sum I of 100 guineas a year, to enable him to keep a Citrate, a warm discussion followed. Mr. Hems said, he found by the accoubti that a balance remained out of the parish rates, amounting to "2,405 • rime the yearlllll4, which it was alleged had been lodged in the Bank of England; bat if it laid there, it had brought no interest to the parish. So large a sum ought to be brought into the account, or else so laid out as to assist in payment of the Poor Rates, in which opinion the Vestry appeared very cordially to join. The vote for allowing the sum required for the Curate was then put and carried. BALLOON ASCENT. ---+-- Yesterday, Mr. Green, accompanied by his brother, made his4Bth ascent,lrom the Eagle Tavern tea-gardens, ' City-road.

In all, the number . collected in the gardens could not be less than 1,000, among whom were a greet propoition of well dressed persons of both sexes. —A band •vhis - as usual stationed in the gardens, which in the - cones* nf the afternoon played a variety of favourite airs.- The process of inflating the balloon was completed by noon, after which the preparations for the asx nt were tardily proceeded with, it evidently being designed to delay she ascent till as late an hour as could conveniently be done, and which was the more excu.able as crowds of persons kept arriving long after four o'clock. By halfpast four, however, the prepara t. were ae.nounced to be, complete, and a pilot balloon was dispatched, which taking a north-easterly direction, was soon out of tight. In a few minutes after war ds, Mr. Green and his brotheeplaced themselves in the car auacheci loth' balloon. The signal for letting gq the ropes was then given, and the balloon, after rising a height of nearly 200 feet perpendicularly, so' as admirably to clear the pees Mid surrounding houses, bore away, in the d e-ction liken" by its piecurvir, and mounting higher and higher was in less than five minutes lea to sight. Although the wind was rather high for an expedition of this kind, the balloon did not oscilate in the least.. At tin 9'clotk last night Messrs. Green returned to the E ogle in the City-road.
