MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A PE NCHANT FOR RUM--CAUTION TO LICENSED VIC TUALLEMS.--Tane Smith, a short, young woman, described as a lain adress, and who refused her address, was charged as follov rs Mrs. :!Mary Shaw, of the Lion and Goat, 5, Grosvenor street, li tensed victualler, said that on the previous day the prisoner came in and asked for a glass of rum, with which she served her. The prisoner then politely asked for a piece of sugar, and on her turning her back to reach it she walked out without paying for it. She then ran after ber and gave, her into custody. A person was in attendance from the Duke of York, Or mond-ya rd, and said the prisoner had previously paid him a visit, and had some rum, playing a similar trick on him, There is little doubt that the prisoner is in the habit of going from house to house, drinking at the expense of the proprietors, and is what is termed a " moucher"—her habit being to call for rum, to have the excuse for asking for sugar. Mr. - Bingham cautioned her not to attempt the same trick again, as she might not be so lucky ; and a dupli cate found on the prisoner being produced, Mr. Bingham said the complaining parties had better hold that as security for the payment of the rum. THAMES. SCANDALOUS CONDUCT OF A WATERMAN. — CAUTION TO PASSENGLRS.—'Thomas Rice, a waterman, appeared on a summons, before Mr. Yardley, charged under the 67th section of the Waterm en' s Act with neglecting and refusing to take a fare from Limehouse-hole to Cuckold's-point, after he was engaged, by which he had incurred a penalty not exceeding £5. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, opened the case as ono of great importance to the public. The prosecutor was Cap tain Gustav Matson, the master of the Russian ship Otto, who was a most respectable gentleman, well known in the port of London. The captain had to complain of most scandalous conduct on the part of a Thames waterman. He (Mr. Young) was sorry to say that too many of the boatmen on the Thames were very insolent to passengers, and were frequently guilty of extortion. If he made out his case, he did hope that the Magistrate would teach the watermen that they could not annoy and insult passengers with impunity. It appeared from the evidence that on Monday evening last the complainant had been on a visit to Mr. Charles William Day, a metal dealer in Limehouse, and upon leav ing his house he went, accompanied by.his friend, to Lime house-hole-stairs to hire a boat to convey him across the river to The Horns, at Cuckold's-point, Rotherhithe. Mr. Day saw the defendant, who was plying for hire, and asked him his name, to which he replied that it was Rice, and that he was the brother of Georgo Rice, the celebrated rowing man. Mr. Day offered the defendant 6d. to convey the captain across the river, and the captain got into the defendant's boat in expectation of being conveyed to the Surrey side, but when they had got half way across the stream the defendant was hailed from a steamer going up the river, and, in spite of the remonstrances of the com plainant, the waterman rowed alongside the steamer. The captain endeavoured to shove the boat off from the steamer, and said, " I want to go over the water—take me to Rother hithe." The defendant gave utterance to a volley of abuse, attempted to strike the complainant, and said, " You d— fellow, you Russian humbug, if you don't keep your tongue quiet I'll strike you," and then took a pas senger and his luggage from the steamer and returned to Limehouse, when he landed both passengers at Duke's shore. Capt. Matson immediately returned to his friend's house and made him acquainted with the way he had been served. Mr. Day at once proceeded to the Duke's shore plying place, called the defendant out of a public house, and asked him why he had not landed the complain ant at Rotherhithe. " Because I met with another fare," was the impudent reply, accompanied by a sneering laugh. Mr. Yardley asked the complainant if he engaged ano ther waterman to ferry him to Rotherhithe? Captain Matson—No, no, sir, I was threatened. I did not expect to get back alive. Mr. Yardley—You had enough of Thames watermen? Captain Matson—Yes, sir, quite enough. Mr. Day said his friend did not reach Rotherhithe at all on Monday, and that he provided him with a bed in Lime house. _ _ The defendant, who treated the charge with much levity, said the complainant was half and half drunk, and he took him to Rotherhithe, and he refused to leave the boat. He called a boy named John Thomas, who said he was " Jack in the water" at the Horns, Rotherhithe. The defendant wanted to land the complainant there on Monday night. The complainant refused to leave the boat, and said, " I will give you 3d. to take me back to Limehouse." The defendant then rowed back with the complainant to the Middlesex shore. Capt. Matson was recalled, and said there was not a word of truth in the boy's statement. Mr. Day said his friend was quite sober on Monday evening. Mr. Yardley said the defence 'was false and insulting, and the defendant had made the matter much worse by bringing the " Jack in the Water " forward to commit tiilful and deliberate perjury. The foreigner had been in sulted in the highest degree. He fined the defendant 400. and costs, and asked him if he had any goods and chattels on which the amount could be levied by warrant of dis tress. The prisoner—No, I have not. Mr. Yardley—Then you are sentenced to 14 days' im- prisonment. The prisoner (impudently)—Thank you, Sir. THIS DA Y'S MARKETS. COVENT-GARDEN. The supplies of fruit continue limited ; seasonably good.

A MAN KILLED IN HYDE PARK.—Yesterday morning a frightful accident occurred to I. P. Blundell, aged 55 years, residing in Charles-street, Kensington. While assisting to unload a tree from a timber carriage, the chain which held it suddenly gave way, and the lever flew up, throwing the deceased 30 feet high. He fell to the grou nd with a most frightful crash, and, though every assistance was rendered, he gradually sank, and expired at St. George's Hospital, to which he was taken. DEATH OF MR. BR UNEL, C.E. It is with no common regret that we announce the decease of the eminent engineer whose last important work, the Great Eastern steam-ship, has lately occupied so prominent a place in public at tention. Mr. Brunel was carried to his residenee in Duke-street,_llrestminster, from the Great Eastern ship, at midday on the sth inst., in a very alarming condition, having been seized with paralysis, in duced, it was' believed, by over mental anxiety. In spite of the most skilful medical attention, he con- tinued to sink, and at half-past 10 on Thursday night he expired, at the comparatively early age of 54. The deceased was the only son of the late Sir Mark Isambard Brunel, who for his many public works re ceived the honour of knighthood from her Majesty in 1841. The following outline of Mr. Brunel's public career is taken from " Charles Knight's English Cyclopmdhi. of Biography :" " Isambard Kingdom Brunel, son of the con structor of the Thames Tunnel, was born at Ports- mouth, in 1806, when his father was engaged in erecting the block machinery for the dockyard. He was taken while quite young to France, and finished his education at the Collge Henri IV., at Caen. He commenced practical engineering in 1826, under his father, at the Thames Tunnel, of which work he was resident engineer. Being the last to quit his post, he was more than once in danger from the frequent breaking-in of water during the progress of the excavations, and only saved himself by swimming. The final irruption of 1828, when one man was drowned, surprised him 600 feet from the end of the tunnel ; he was borne along by the stream, and rose to the surface near the top of the shaft. " Mechanical and railway engineering, and the construction of machinery for locomotives and steam navigation, have been the special objects of Mr. Brunel's study. For ten years he laboured in the experiments instituted by his father to employ carbonic acid gas as a motive power. He was de signer and civil engineer of the Great Western, the first steamship built to cross the Atlantic ; of the Great Britain ; of other large vessels ; and of the huge iron ship now being built at Millwall for the Eastern Steam Navigation Company. He has been engaged on the docks at some of our outports; among which the most important are the improve ment of Bristol-docks, Cardiff, and the construction of the Old North Sunderland-dock. " Mr. Brunel was appointed engineer to the Great Western Railway in 1833 ; and under his direc tion have all the tunnels, bridges, and other works been constructed on that line and its branches and connections—including the Bristol and Exeter, South Devon, West Cornwall, Birmingham and Ox- ford, and others : Noticeable among the bridges on these lines are that across the Thames at Afaiden- head, for the l!lrgest and flattest of brick arches— that at Chepstow for the great difficnities overcome in crossing the Wye—and the bridge of the Corn wall railway now in course of erection over the Tamar, which is as near as may be, from coin cidence of natural causes, of the same span and height as the Britannia-bridge, and has a central pier, rising from a depth of 80 feet of water; the deepest yet encountered in railway engineering. " The Hungerford Suspension foot-bridge across the Thames at London was also erected by Mr. Brunel. It has the longest span in England. He took part in the floating and raising of the Conway and Britannia tubular bridges; operations not less remarkable for their novelty and magnitude than for the friendly co-operation of engineers by whom they were successfully accomplished. He set out and conducted the works of the Tuscan portion of the Sardinian railway; and had the entire charge of establishing and fitting the Renkioi hospitals on the Dardanelles. necessitated by the late war with Russia. These hospitals will accommodate 3,000 patient 3; and as regards comfort, artificial venti lation, warming, baths, &c., and special adaptation to their purpose, they are not excelled by the best London hospitals. An abundant supply of water is laid on from the hills, and railways afford easy carriage from the landing-places on the shore into the several wards. " Mr. Brunel was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1830, and was chosen on the council in 1844. He is a vice-president of the Institution of Civil Engineers and of the Society of Arts ; a Fellow of the Astronomical, Geological, and Geo• graphical Societies ; and Chevalier of the Legion of Honour." . The death of Mr. Brunel is an event that demands from the public press something beyond a mere notice of his demise. A little over fifty years of age, he is taken from us, leaving behind him a European and world-wide fame. Of his works as a railroad engineer, his guage, his bridges, but little need be said. Every one has heard of the Great Western Railway, of the Chepstow, the Saltash, and other bridges; and all the world is aware of the mighty stride he has made in navigation by the creation of the Great Eastern steam ship, upon whose recent mishap an inquest is sitting while we indite these lines to his memory. It is his connec tion with steam navigation, indeed, to which we would now direct attention. Mr. Brunel first directed his mind to the subject of steam navigation as far back as 1835, when, at his instigation, the directors of the Great Western Railway resolved to combine ocean navigation with their system of locomotion. At that time the main promoters of the scheme were Bristol people, albeit it was well upheld in London by gentlemen of eminence in the mercantile world. The Great - Western steam ship Company was, however, got up at Bristol, and under Mr. Brunel's auspices the first ship was built by Patterson, of that city, and the engines were made by Maudslay and Field, also under Mr. Brunel's supervision. To oppose her, or to run away if they could with the merit of being first to cross the Atlantic, an inefficient steamer was started from Cork eight days before her, but the absurdity was soon made apparent by the two vessels arriving on the same day. The supply of fuel on board the Cork steamer was exhausted, while the Great Western, notwithstanding the predictions of Dr. Lardner, had coals enough left to steam four days longer at her full rate of consumption. All this is matter of history. A few years after the same company resolved to build a ship of larger capacity, and the Great Britain was the next ship laid down, of no less than 3,600 tons, Mr. Brunel being still the consulting engineer, and Mr. Pat terson the builder, under him. This ship was laid down for paddles, but the success, as an experiment, of the little Archimedes, induced Mr. Brunel to ad vise the directors to adopt the screw, and for the screw she was altered. The Archimedes was lent to the company, and over a dozen experiments with different modifications of screws were tried upon her by Mr. Brunel or his assistants. Not being sufficiently large, Mr. Brunel urged upon the Ad miralty of that day the building a vessel of 800 tons and 200-horsepower nominal ; and the engines were put into his hands and the ship ordered to be built under his directions. Curiously enough the engines were ready for delivery, made by Maudslay and Field, before the ship was even laid down. A change in the Admiralty having taken place, and Lord Haddington being the chief, minutes were consulted, and Mr. Brunel stated that he never could get any information as to the where abouts of his ship. The fact is, at that time the Surveyor of the Navy was dead against the adop tion of the screw. Inquiry ensued, and with all possible despatch a vessel ready for her paddles was altered for the screw; but every impediment was put in Mr. Brunei's way. Nevertheless the Rattler came out, and was successful, and up to this moment is a pattern name in screw naviga tion. True, her lines wei e not correct, but they would have been had the board's orders been fol lowed out to the letter. The Great Britain, although meeting with several mishaps and breaking her screw, was, and still is, an eminent success, and even when in Dundrum Bay she proved the accu racy of all Mr. Brunel's calculations. She was re ported as back-broken and a wreck ; but on being examined by Mr. Brunel, he declared her lines to be unaltered, Afterwards, under his instructions, she came off Dundrum Sands at the end of 11 months' battering, and is to this day the largest and finest ship in regular work, She is several feet wider than the HimalaTa or the Persia, although shorter by about what it takes to run out a long figure head and supports of 30 or 40 feet. The Great Eastern was the next class of ship to which Mr. Brunel turned his stupendous talents ; and, what ever the merits or the pretentions of others may be, she was as much his creation as were the Great Western and the Great Britain. His health gave way under the trials, physical and mental, which he went through from the time she was laid down to the day of her floating. There are those who know well the trials he encountered from the time of his leaving for Egypt to the time of his return, when he found himself named engineer to an entirely new company, which bad been formed without his knowledge, and which had made a contract in creasing in a thousand ways the difficulties of his position. 11l able as was Mr. Brunel to superintend the work he still devoted himself to the task of getting the ship completed as far as he could. The day before the Great Eastern was to leave tile Thames he came on board in the afternoon, with the in tention of remaining the night, hut almost at that moment symptoms of paralysis exhibited themselves —he was hurried home, and laid on the bed from which he never again rose. It was only on Tuesday last that the news of the explosion on board the Great Eastern was made known to him. From that time he gradually sank, and on Thursday night expired. A man of large heart, of vast conceptions, and of ability to apply them practically, has been removed from amongst us at a moment when his greatest work was on the SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

Almost a Heroine. By the Author of " Charles AuchestGr," " Rumour," &c. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. Whatever is written by this author is very well worthy of perusal. There is always something fresh, original, and piquant in the creations of his fancy. In the present instance, it will be found that some characters appear in the scene who are well calculated to attract attention, and to inspire interest. Arnold Major is an excellent portraiture of a clever man, who, from various circumstances, has had too great a burden imposed upon him, and who, consequently, nearly falls under its weight, when many obstacles have been removed from his path. The passages which refer to the awful ex tremity to which he is reduced are very powerfully narrated, and a most vivid illustration is given of the various effects produced on different tempera ments by the extremes of hope and fear, joy and sorrow. It is ably shadowed forth how an excit able being like Horatia is less likely to be of ser vice at a critical juncture than a soft and gentle creature like Miss Hope. The latter came upon the troubled scene of danger and distress like some good angel or ministering spirit ; and brief as was her stay, the effects were apparent, in a man ner not likely to be soon forgotten. Lord Lynd field is a strange person, but his peculiar nature is well described ; and he was one of those whose eccentricities should be respected, as they were ever indulged in from a kind and generous spirit, that essayed to render some service, and perform some kindness, for others. Of him it might truly be said, " Even his failings leaned to virtue's side." Ernest Loftus, who tells the story, does not appear so prominently on the scene as some of the friends he meets with in his pilgrimage through life. This is often the case in works of this sort, and in many cases the narrator can descant more eloquently on the deeds and thoughts of others than of him• self ; but there are some curious scenes that relate to Ernest himself, which will probably afford en tertainment to some. John, the old servant of his uncle, is quite a character in his way, and may agreeably contrast with the more solemn and me lancholy personages who are the chief actors in the scenes here chronicled. The idea of the will is not in itself a novel one, but the particular arrange ments of it are certainly in a manner new, and they impart a variety to the story. It was not a wise thing for Ernest's uncle to have done, to send him so abruptly adrift on the world ; but, as it proved, it was of signal service to him and others. He and Arnold Major were a mutual benefit to each other —the one being too visionary and romantic, the other rather morbid and over-sensitive. Altogether " Almost a Heroine" cannot fail to attract from its many noticeable scenes ; and Horatia herself is a noble creation, admirably suited to be the chief character in a work of fiction. The admirers of " Charles Auchester" will be gratified with this opportunity of renewing their acquaintance with its gifted author, and in many an impressive de scription, and in many an animated dialogue, they , may trace the same power they have before appre ciated and admired. TILE DISASTER IN CHINA. To the details already given about the disaster in China, the Moniteur de l' Armee gives the fol lowing part'eulars from a private letter : " The Mongol troops who defended the works of Takou form part of the Imperial Guard, the effective strength of which is about 50,000 men. These troops are superior to all the others of the army, and have in their ranks the best gunners and the best bowmen in the whole empire. In the hands of the Mongols, the bow becomes a wondrous instrument, and several English marines were killed under the walls of the fort by the men armed with bows and arrows. The works of Takou were executed in a remarkable manner, the old forts being flanked by raking batteries well constructed, and armed with pivot guns, the fire of which was well directed, and the range changed according. to the movement of the vessels. The Mongols served the guns like well drilled artillerymen. It also appears that they made use of grape, and that they fired some hollow shot, which proves that they possess howitzers. These details are curious, as showing how much the Chinese, who are remarkable for their talent of imitation, have improved since the visit of the allied forces about a year ago." The most extraordinary rumours, says the Pattie, have been in circulation relative to the proceedings of Mr. Ward, the American Minister at China. A letter, three days later than the despatches from Hong Kong, gives some particulars which seem exact : " Mr. Fish, the American consul at Shanghai, received intelligence that Mr. Ward had ascended a small river which falls into the Gulf of Petchili, and which runs parallel with the Peiho, but is not a branch of it, as stated, and had reached the town of llukua, but as the steamer Tocyvvon, which took him up, could not go any further, he was obliged to stop at that place. Mr. Ward was in hopes of going from that town to Pekin by land, and was waiting for a mandarin to accompany him to the Chinese capital. The American Com modore (Tatnall) had ascended the same river in the steam corvette Powhatan, but could not go up as far as the Tocyvvon, and had stopped short at about twelve miles from the mouth of the river. The Americans had taken into their service Chinese pilots, authorised to act for them by the governor of Petchili. Such were the incidents which took place, and it is to them that must be attributed the rumour that the American legation had ascended the Peiho after the combat, and continued their route to Pekin. If the information received by Mr. Fish was correct, the conclusion must be arrived at that Mr. Ward at the last dates had received an assur ance that be could safely proceed by land to Pekin with his legation. The same letter affirmed that Admiral Hope had been anxious to renew the com bat, and again attack the forts of Takou, declaring that he would be responsible for success, but that Mr. Bruce refused, deciding that nothing should be attempted until the home government had been referred to. Admiral Hope wrote a letter of thanks to Capt. Tricault, of the French steam frigate Du chayla, for the admirable conduct of his men. During the whole of the combat, the greatest cor diality had prevailed between the seamen of the two nations." The wounded men of the English squadron had been taken to Shanghai. Their number and the gravity of their wounds were such that the com mander of the French naval forces had placed sur geons at the disposal of Admiral Hope, for the ser vice of the English.

THE WELSII REVIVAL—The religious excite ment still prevails in the neighbourhood of Bangor, Car narvonshire. Immense religious meetings were held on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday last, by the Calvinistic Methodists. On Wednesday, the meeting commenced at six o'clock in the morning, a second meeting was held at eight, another at ten, one at two, one at five, and another at seven. At the meetings which were held in the middle of the day it was estimated that there were about 20,000 present-7,000 coming from the isle of Anglesea alone! The vast multitude began to arrive at Bangor as early as five o'clock in the morning, having walked by that time a great number of miles, and most of them were laden with chairs, stools, and other sitting conveniences. The meet ings throughout were of the most orderly character, and no one was observed to have symptoms similar to those expe rienced by the Irish people at their revivals.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. ADDRESS OF THE BERGAMESE TO THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. The Emperor of the French has received the fol lowing address, bearingl.o,7l7 signatures, from the Province of Bergamo : Sire,—A great and noble enterprise, worthy of your genius, and of the generous nation which Pro vidence has called you to govern, being embar rassed by the rivalities and the interested views of almost all the Powers of Europe, had to be interrupted at the very moment at which the triumph of the glorious allied armies assured it the most complete and most brilliant success. Although profoundly Otlicted at having seen the failure of the. projected deliverance of our bre thren of Venice, to whom we are closely bound by the communion of opinion and sufferings, we do not the less feel, sire, the gratitude which we owe to you for the benefits which we have obtained from your generosity. We respect 'the grave and powerful political reasons which, contrary to your desire, have caused you to leave incomplete your magnanimous enterprise, but we confide at the same time in the prudent foresight of your Majesty. Yes, sire, we firmly believe that the definitive con ditions of the treaty, which you are about to make, will be of a nature to lessen the sufferings which menace unfortunate Venice. We have the firm hope that the frontiers of the kingdom which you have aggrandised will not be deprived of their natural defences, and that we shall not remain still exposed to unforeseen attacks and placed in a state of continual fear. We cannot doubt an instant that the elements of the Confederation projected by your generous solicitude for the future safety and inde pendence of Italy. will be founded on homogeneity of principles, which, whilst assuring concord and union, will guarantee a just and becoming share of liberty to the populations called on to form part of it, and will, in particular, leave intact the prudent and liberal institutions which for two lustres have caused the happiness of Piedmont and the glory of our herioc sovereign. Deign, magnanimous Em peror, to receive with clemency and kindness these sincere thanks, which come from the heart ; also the expression of the wishes of a people who feel profoundly the benefit they have received, and who desire ardently to seize occasions of showing them selves worthy of the independence and the liberty which your generosity has given them. A YANKEE DUPED. Speaking of the elite, reminds me of what has just befallen a young American now in Paris, and I will take the liberty of giving the details of the affair. He is a gay, ardent Southerner, and left his native city a few months since, having arrivedat the age of 21, and the full enjoyment of a large fortune. He came to Paris with the intention of getting into the best society. No new noblesse would suit his refined taste. His desire was to be on terms of delightful familiarity with the denizens of the Faubourg St. Germain, the quartier, par excellence, of the haute noblesse. Once in the gay capital, he set about accomplishing his pur pose with decided energy. He perfected himself in the language, and took lessons in dancing and music. This idea grew upon him during the lapse of time necessary to acquire these accomplishments, and he frequently informed the persons whom he met of his determination. At last he made the ac quaintance of a young man, a fellow-pupil at the dancing academy, to whom he imparted his desir brulant. This new acquaintance praised, the idea, informed the young American that he war., enchanted to hear of this resolve, and ended by promising his aid, which was no small gain, as he Nt . as a bona fide Count, not one of the mushroom nobility, but a per son whose ancestors had had the inestimable pri- vilege of following the crazy monk to Palestine and knocking off the heads of sundry infidels. De cidedly he was of the ancienne noblesse, and he felt flattered that a Republican should evince such a praiseworthy desire to enter the circle of society to which the Count belonged ; nay more, he would assist the young stranger, and at once proposed to introduce him to his aunt the Marquise. Delighted beyond measure at this stroke of good fortune, the American seized his new acquaintance by the hand and in the most grateful manner returned his thanks, and asked the noble Count to "take a drink." The acquaintance ripened into the warmest friendship ; so much so, that the Count persuaded the American to take a larger suite of rooms, to get a fine carriage and more servants, and proposed to his delighted friend that they should live together. They did so for several months, during time which the yonng stranger paid all the bills, it being agreed that he should do so for the first year, the Count the next. The Southerner was duly presented to the Marquise, whom he found to be a most charming woman, a widow living in the Quartier St. Germain, and having about her the evidences of wealth and taste. She was very agreeable and kind to tho young stranger, and took him with her to the opera, and to call upon many of her titled friends. She was a handsome woman, and quite young, and, as a natural consequence, the gentle man was soon epris of the Marquise. He even went so far one night as to propose marriage. She gravely told him that she was partial to him, but that her family would never consent to her marrying a man without a title. He was in despair, and hastened to tell the Count, the confi• dant of his love. The Count was very sorry, and really did not know what to do for his young friend, but would try to make the Marquise relent. The next day the Count came in, radiant and with a smiling air. He had found out an expedient by which the American might overcome the difficulty. He knew a man, an agent of the Duke of Tuscany, who had a title for sale • it was dear, but then the Marquise was enormously rich, and loved the young man so sincerely, that once he possessed this title she would marry the American, even if it cost him all his fortune. Fired with the idea of being a noble, and espousing a Marquise, the young Southerner rushed to the person indicated, and asked the price of the wished-for title. Alas, it was dear ; almost all the money he possessed was necessary to buy it. He hesitated but having again seen the Marquise that night at a soiree given by her, he signed a cheque, and handed it to the seller of the title (who, by a wonderful coinci dence, happened to be at the party), for the amount asked for the parchment that was to make him the happy possessor of a woman who, although much older than himself, was a Marquise of the ;taut, noblesse. He returned to his rooms that night full of hope and champagne, and sank to slum ber, mumuring the name of his future spouse. lie awoke late the next day lo find the Count gone, having just received a letter calling him to one of his estates in Italy. The young man cared but little for the absence of the Count ; he flew to meet his promised wife. Arrived at the house, he was informed that Madame no longer lived there ; she had left in the morning early, without saying where she was going. Light dawned upon the Yankee : he rushed to his banker ; the cheque had been presented early in the morn ing and paid, but a few thousand francs remained to his credit. He soon ascertained that he had been duped—his parchment was all that remained ; and upon opening the rouleau, he found that it was a fine photograph of the Pont Neuf. This week the young gentleman' goes back to the United States, cured of his desire to associate with the noblesse, and a poor man. This story has a moral which may be of service to young strangers of all nations coming to Paris. It has been the lot of your correspondent to make the acquaintance of a great many Americans—in fact a couple of years I passed in the United States. I formed a very favourable opinion of our cousins; I consider them noble-hearted, generous, high minded people for the most part; of course, they have their foibles, and perhaps the greatest of all, these meets the eye continually in Paris. Anyone seeing the carriages of thew ealthyAmericans in Paris are those would never for a moment imagine their owners to be Republicans, belonging to a country having no ord er of nobility, and where all the men of mark who have made their own standing and reput a ti on . For these vehicles are the finest you see, h ave very large coats ofarms on the panels, and the servants are dressed out in the most gorgeous liveries. It really does seem a wonder to one knowin 0. the country how these good people came in possession of the splen did couronnes of The French. when inf orme d that Americans h ave nei ther titles nor themselves as noble • without such things as with marquis, duke, or count. them, are to inclinedthe o wners of look upon the above described carriages and liveries as — I leave y ou to imagine what. '" The magnificent coats of arms o f th ese Republicans are displaye. d by them up on a ll occas i ons . They paste them in the backs of their books, have them embroidered on their clothes, carry immense seal rings with the " arms" engraved thereupon most exquisitely, with which rings they seal the most casual note they have to write, be it to friend, stranger, tailor, or bonnet-maker. Brother Jonathan must not be astonished if John Bull and Crapaud shrug their shoulders when the Yankees talk of equality and independence, seeing as they do citizens of the the boasted land of liberty go to any expense, or in trigue in the meanest way, to be favoured with Pal entree at a court ball, or to have a nobleman sit at their dinner-table.—Lady's Newspaper.
