The wind waa then-fair for St. Helena; and the Northumberland :vas making the best of her way thither. It may be supposed that . the clew, of a merchant vessel coming from a distant port in the Mediterranean, and ignorant, till then, of the bat tle or Waterton, would he not a little surprised at meeting the zoi-disoal Emperor on such a destination; but the mystery was cleared up, when they learnt the occurrences and come- quences of that memorphle day. The entilt Martial fop the trial of Ney is to ennsist of Marshals Jourdan (rho nreside), Victor and Nlarmont;_ of (Generals Mahon, Claparetle and Pic. Aloncey, who declined to exercise the functions of President, is to suffer his confinement of three months at Bitche. well known. as a place of ine'rceration for British prisoners. The Dnke of Wellington has addressed a letter to the- Mayor t , f B , nssels, thanking the inhabitants of the city for the care and attention to the wounded of his army in the battle of Waterloo. FAIR Puctr.tsTs..—A few days ago a curious case was tried in the Court of Corectional Police. at Paris. The parties were two ladies, evidently of a respectable rank in society, each of whom charged the other with having scratched her face. Both had upon their cheeks very distinct marks of a sharp conflict The dispute was political—one was a Bour bonite, th e other a Bonapartite. They had, it appeared, gone into a coffee house on the Boulevards to read the news papers. This is quite the common practice of French women, as well as men; at first they talked with great tem per, but upon the point whether England was justified in sending Bonanarte to St. Helena, the debate grew violent, and terminated in a battle, The Bourbonite Lady said all the meo in the coffee house were Bonapartists, and refused to interfere. It turned out, however, that she was the ag gressor ; she was fined ten francs. The winter Theatres are to b?gin a race of Parisian novelties. Both have their agents on the Continent col lecting, translating, and preparing, whatever has been most attractive abroad. Dowton's Tunbridge Wells Company of Comedians were - ,.ery near taking their parts in a Tragedy a few evenings ago, by the coach which the M*nager had hired to bring them from Canterbury being overturned near the Kentish Tavern. Not a single son of the Sock and Buskin escaped without receiving some personal injury ; and Misses Bristow and Leigh, two of the party inside, were so much hurt as to have Leen ever since confined to their apartments. Mr. Sadler, jun. ascended from the Bowling-!reen, New castle, on the Ist inst. in a balloon, amidst thousands of spectators. Fie descended in twenty minutes at Whitby Part., two miles north of Tvnemouth, and returned the same eves kg to the place he set •ut from. The day was fine, and no accident whatever occurred. TRICE OF BREAD.—The Master, Wardens, and Court of As-istants, of the Baker's Company, have agreed (somewhat in the way of the Tallow Chandler's Company) to send wtekly notices to the different Bakers of the ?narimum which thry ought to charge to the public, to be regulated by Mon dq's prices at Mark-lane. The notice for last week states t!' e price to be Itd. which commenced on Thursday last. Friday night, Brussels papers arrived to the sth, and Frankfort Gazettes to the Ist inst. • The former state, on the authority of private accounts from Paris, that a part of the Allied armies will evacuate France in the course of the pre sent month, provided the French army is wholly disarmed; that another part will occupy the fortresses of Alsace. Lor raine, and the Northern frontiers; that the second and third corps of the Prussian army will remain in France; and that two other corps and the Guards will retire beyond the fron tiers. The return of the Emperor of Austria to his capital, it is said, is again deferred, and the Coronation at Milan is to he postponed till Spring. More Prussian troops were march ing into France. SINGULAR FATALITY.--A labouring man living at Hampstead whose name is Cursons, recently assured his friends that he was forewarned of death, and that he was to die some violent death on the Ist of September. This tale was of course treated with contempt, but it still prayed on his mind, and the first of Sept. was anxiously waited for. On the morning he determined not to stir out the whole day, and kept his intention till the evening, when his landlady rallied him on the folly of his conduct and be began him self to smile at his superstition. His landlady observing that she had not a drop of water in the house, he volunteered to go to the Conduit in Hampstead fields, for some, arid took* pail for that purpose. On reaching the conduit, which is a deep arched well, while stooping for the water he unfortu. nately fell in. Luckily from the draught which has pre. vailed, there was only three feet of water in the well, so that he escaped with a ducking. A month or two later, and he would have been drowned. SEVERE FaosT.—Such has been the severity of the frost, notwithstanding the early season of the autumn, that in several of the counties north of London, particularly on the nights of the sth and t3th inst. several lambs were frozen to death. Ice was taken up in sume places upwards of a quar ter of an inch thick. A whale, brought to Shields in the Lady Jane. from Davis' Streights this year, filled casks which held 1n,050 gallons : which, at a moderate calculation, is worth 1500/. WAITER'S W►T.—A few days since as Guth / was pro ceeding from London to Brighton, he took refreshment at an Inn at Ryegate. A stage coach stopping at the door, pretty well loaded with passengers, the waiter suddenly ex claimed, ‘. You are just in time, Gents. Gully has this mo ment set-to with the Chicken." The coach was in an instant deserted, and the passengers, sans tcremonie, entered the room, in which Gully, as the waiter had described, was fiercely attacking the Chicken—just taken from the s it, and done to a turn ! An order was issued some time ago from the head-quartets of the British troops encamped near Pais, prohibiting all officers from entering the city, except in uniform and with side arms. DRURY LANE. This Theatre opened last night with sfoh3 Ball and the Adopted Child. As all pretention to an encrease of price had been previously given up, the . greatest good humour pre. vailed. God save the King was sung by all the performers at the beginning of the performance, which (obtained abundant and merited applause. Mr. Wallack appeared for ine first time in Tom Shuitelon and acted wif considerab,e ease. He however too CA , crony imitated the defects of his predecessor Mr. Decamp, wh-in he aim sr bra in 'he science of face making. Incessant grimace may render the performer wore iidiculous, than the fop he iuteuds to represent. MINIMMUIPP•MM•I9‘
