For upwards of twenty-two years 1 have been afflicted with severe periodical attacks of the Gout, which It'equently, for twelve or thirteen weeks, wholly deprived me of the use of my limbs, and rendered me incapable of retaining any permanent em ployment, and has compelled me to relinquish more than one or two ex cellent situations. In the course of this period I have tr led every remedy extant, without experienci ng any material benefit, until I was i n d uce d, 12y a severe attack last June, to try BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMA TIC PILLS, though I must confess with small hopes of success; but I Was agreeably surprised to find, after two or three times taking them, the violence of the disorder was checked, and within a week completely re raoved ; and lam now once more enabled to take a permanent situation, and find my health and strength better than for years past ; and I 40 , with the greatest confidence, pronounce .them to be a most safe and aPeedy cure of that most dreadful disorder to which I have been for so y years a martyr ,• and authorise you, if you think necessary, to make . 1 3' Cage public, and shall have great pleasure in bearing tetimony in any 'way to the great benefit I have experienced from the use s of this invalu able medicine. Being now fifty-four years of age I cannot expect the dis 'order to be wholly era di ca t e d ; but if I find at any time the least symptoms tan attack, I take a few Pills, and it is instantly removed ; and I am ,_ r aPletely relieved from the fear of being again laid up, As it is my .rntion never to be without 3 supply of these Pills I shall feel obliged by Your sending me half-a-dozen boxes; and remain, Sir, Your obliged humble Servant, 54, Kingsgate.street, Winchester, EDW A III) STANLEY, Oct. 183 6.

The " British and Fore . gn Review," has shed, and continues to shed, a rich flood of light upon all the heretofore undisco vered intricacies of the political labyrinth of which Prince Metternich so long retained the clue. To the conductors of this powerful organ of enlightened opinion are the people of England mainly indebted for the facility with which they can now inrorm themselves of the whole scheme of German and Autocratical policy. Of the manner in which the immense mass of valuable information contained in this pe riodical is conveyed to the public, we entirely approve. The style of the articles is always vigorous —the matter im portant—and the length proportioned to the general, rather than to the intrinsic interest of the subject discussed. These are for the most part well chosen, whether Foreign or Domestic. We ought likewise to observe that while this periodical is second to none in the interest and importance of its articles, the reduced price at which it is sold places it within the reach of the middle classes, and even of the more thriving race of tradesmen. " Austria, in 1835" affords Europe a very different view from that which it has been so long contemplating, of the character and policy of the late Emperor Francis. The halo which Dr. Gross•Hofinger would persuade the world encircles the head of the deceased Monarch, disappears with the first touch of the wand which the Reviewer applies to it. We copy from this article the following condensed, but very interesting account of the personal character and po licy of the late Sovereign of the Austrian empire : " The late Emperor ascended the throne in 1792, after the very short reign of his father, Leopold 11. ; the moment of his accession was the most stirring in the history of modern Europe. Abroad, the whirlwind of the French Revolution was loose in its terrible course, and was breaking up the con tinent of Europe ; within the Austrian states, which had been shaken by the changes and by the misfortunes of Joseph 11., danger and dismay prevailed. But the country had received an impulsion from that prince, which had incredibly improved its condition, and enabled it to maintain the struggle in which it was about to engage. From that moment, Francis adopted those principles of re-action and conservatism, to which he clung through life, and from which neither peace nor war, ruin nor triumph, pity nor persuasion, hope nor fear, ever after wards diverted him. In the midst of his conflict with the by di o of liberty in the plains of Italy and Germany, he pursued the task of undoing the work of his predecessor at home. In 1803, during the short peace of Luneville, the censorship of the press was re-organised with excessive severity, and no less than 2,800 books, which had been tolerated before 1792, were proscribed ; though in 1809, Napoleon cruelly introduced a fresh infection, by tolerating and even spreading the works of Voltaire, Rousseau, and Diderot, under the wings of his victo rious army. " The centralised system which had been introduced by Joseph, in order to enable the government to take a more rapid and decisive part in the improvement of the provinces and the enlightment of the people, was used by Francis to ex haust the one, and to obscure the other. The extraordinary sacrifices of his people during the war, the enthusiasm of the Tyrolese, the valour of the Ifungarians, and the fidelity of the Bohemians, were rewarded by no concessions after the peace. The chains which had been heaped upon Italy were prepared for the other provinces, and the revolutions of Naples and Piedmont, in 1821, gave the signal for fresh measures of pre caution throughout the Austrian empire. The decrees of Carlsbad, and the acts of the Congresses of Aix•la-Chapelle, Trappau, and Verona, extended the same miserable arts over Europe. The whole policy of the Court lay in the debase ment of the population, by every means which superstition, persecution, and an immense standity , army draining the last resources of a ruined treasury, could furnish. These means of oppression were again redoubled in severity after the revolution of July, when age and experience bad increased the terrors which Francis entertained of the changes originating in the West of Europe. From that time forth he was wont to ex claim alles ist verloren' all is lost ;' and for the last three years of his . life, he hesitated to sign a decree; he was panic struck by the signs of the times, and the ponderous machinery of the empire of Austria maintained its place by its vis inertia alone. Yet Francis was weak neither in head nor heart ; he himself ruled, with the assistance, but entirely free from the control, of his favourite minister ; his own personal attention was directed to an incredible number of the smallest details of the administration, and it was his own determination and his own unrelenting will which supported the wooden framework, ' by which his tattered and impoverished states are held to gether. The reign of Prince Metternich began on the day of his master's death. " The pievailing features in tho character of Francis, wore his extreme craft and narrow-mindedness ; he trusted no one ; yet there was nothing gloomy in his disposition, and his con versation was enlivened by frequent sparks of good natured sarcasm. He was not a cruel man, indeed the immediate cir cle about him bears witness to his benevolence; but no con temporary prince inflicted a greater mass of moral and physical sufferings upon his subjects ; none ever understood better how to 'give n gloss unto his violence.' He had adopted for his motto, Justitia regnorum fundamentum,' but he was a relent less persecutor, and the men whom he believed to entertain liberal sentiments in politics, or to harbour a feeling of nation ality, were his personal foes. He never desisted from a pur suit, and the keys of his state prisons were in no hands but his own. His fondness of popularity was extreme, and he retained an extraordinary degree of it, particularly in the hereditary Austrian states, to the day of his death. He was wont to shift all the odium of offensive measures upon his ministers, and a complete system of secret orders was organised in every de partment of tho administration, which enabled him to grant requests and issue commands publicly, with the certainty that they would not be obeyed. " On one occasion, at one of the public audiences which he gave once a week in Vienna, he was much pressed by a sup plicant to grant an order which be could not refuse without an ill grace. - 1 Write your order,' said the Emperor, and 1 will sign it;—the delighted suitor wrote as he was bid, and the sign manual was given; but on presenting the paper at the proper office, the matter was received very coldly ; pre vious instructions had been given, that no extraordinary order should be acted upon in that office, unless it was wholly written in the Emperor's hand. " lie was so jealous of the popularity which he frequently obtained by the meanest artifices, that he treated the most distinguished members of his own family with harshness, when ever he suspected them of standing too well with the public. Even his sons and successors were not allowed to take any part in public affairs, or to strengthen their weak characters by princely pursuits or princely graces, lest they should eclipse the old actor ere he left the stage. The gallant and accom plished Arch-Duke Charles, who is titular Viceroy of Bohe mia, resided for some time in .Prague, and kept a court suited to the importance of that province. The Bohemians, proud of their Viceroy and satisfied with the excellent administration of the Prince, expressed their satisfaction too warmly for - the Emperor's ear ; his brother was recalled, and the government of Bohemia has been ever since confided to an Oberst-burg graf, or Lord-Lieutenant, chosen from the native nobility. The other provinces of Hungary, Gallicia, Lombardy, and Upper Austria, are all governed by Archdukes, of whose popu larity, neither the late, nor the present, Emperor have the smallest reason to be jealous. " Lastly, Francis of Austria was a religious Prince ; but the religion of Francis not only served to support him in his hours of trial, and to purchase for him golden opinions from all sort of men ; it became in his hands one of the most powerful in struments of state-policy—a use which Machiavelli would not have omitted to point out had he lived in more recent times." " The German Confederation ; its political character and influence," is replete with facts of absorbing interest. To be appreciated as it ought, it must be perused with the greatest attention. The article on the Report of the Select Committee on Record Commissions, will,. we trust, have the effect of arresting the further consideration of his Majesty's Government to the monstrous abuses therein detailed. It is really lamentable that nothing can be effected without a system of gross jobbing, disgraceful to the morals of a free people. How Sir Francis Palgrave can sanction proceed ings so unworthy of his reputation, we are at a loss to de termine. We request him to read this article, and in it to discover the sentiments, not of the Reviewer, but of the British people, respecting his conduct with regard to the Public Records. The article on the necessity of a Poor-law for Ireland accords, in every point of view, with our opinions upon this subject. We quite agree wills the reviewer that a Poor law has become necessary, and that without some such measure the country cannot be rendered tranquil or the population contented. In the arguments of those who op pose that measure we see only proofs of an utter ignorance of the facts which form the basis of its necessity. " Saavedra's Moorish Poetry," " Statistics of Customs," and " Revolution teaching by Example," are articles of considerable though of different degrees of merit. The " Russian System of Education" contains a most heart rending Account of the crimes committed'by the Russian authorities in Poland. Such a system of education is cal culated to produce monsters, not men. Thu Number, taken altogether, is inferior to none yet SEIZURE of the VIXEN by RUSSIA. Sir,—We arrived openly and without any disguise on this coast, on Thursday last, in prosecution of a voyage under taken, and in every respect conducted according to the mari time laws of Great Britain and the general usages of trade ; and our British-built and British-registered schooner the Vixen, of London, was, in prosecution of our undertaking, at anchor in the Bay of Toujak-kaleh, on Sunday last, when the Ajax, Captain Woulfe, acting, as we understand, under your Ex cellency's orders, came alongside, and her captain, under plea of our having contravened a blockade of these coasts, esta blished by the Emperor of Russia, ordered us to quit our an chorage, and follow him to Ghilendjik ; and in proof of his determination to enforce these orders, had the guns of his broadside run out and pointed towards the Vixen, and his men beat to quarters. Being in no condition to offer resist tance, we complied with his requisitions, and on our arrival here we find still further %iolation of our rights as British sub jects perpetrated against us. Our ship's papers and Mr. Bell's passport have been taken possession of, ourselves kept apart, and subjected to degrading examinations, as if we were con trabandists, and finally informed that we shall not be permitted to complete our voyage, but must proceed Linder escort of the Ajax to Sevastopol. And the only plea that has been put forth by your Excellency, and those acting under your orders for the constraint we have.suffered, and the threats of violence offered us, is the aforementioned blockade of these coasts by the Emperor of Russia. " We beg to inform your Excellency that no such blockade, nor any other regulation to prevent our voyage, was published ia-the Government Gazettes of Great Britain previously to the 4th of September last, at which time Mr. Bell left London, and the only answer returned by our Government when applied to, was a reference to the Gazettes as the rule of conduct for British merchants in such cases. We felt, therefore, "justified in concluding either that no blockade nor other impediment to the trade -of this coast existed, or that they were not recog nised or intended to be recognised by our Government. Our conviction in this latter respect remains unaltered. We there fore protest against all concerned in the infringement of our rights as British subjects, which we have suffered, and are still suffering, under the commands of your Excellency. We with hold all consent to interruption in the completion of our voyage; and if such interruption be still enforced against us, we beg hereby to give notice to your Excellency, that we abandon all charge of the Vixen, and the property embarked in her, and request your Excellency to afford us, and those embarked with us, as soon as possible an opportunity of re turning home, that we may lay our case before the Govern ment of Great Britain.

" Admiral Lazaretrs letter to Captain Childs, in answer to the latter's request to be supplied with prbvisions for his crew, and with funds for the daily expenses of the vessel, contains an admission as to the position of the inhabitants of Circassia with respect to Russia so much in contradiction with the statements made to Europe by her cabinet when naming this province one incorporce a popetuite a l'Enapire, that I feel it my duty to place this precious document in your pos session. " Nikolaoff, October 24, 1836. " Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 20th instant, together with some other letters for Messrs. Polden and Morton, and the British Consul at Odessa, which as they were unsealed and containing such documents as will prove that the Vixen was employed upon a blockaded coast in an unlawful trade with the enemies of this country, I thought it necessary to send them all by the post of last Friday to St. Fetersburgh, requesting that after perusing them they would be sealed and sent off according to their addresses. " I ani sorry for the occasion of the Vixen being detained, and quite agree with you, that; perhaps yourself did not know anything of the Circassian coast being blockaded ; but Mr. Bell could not have been ignorant of this after visiting the British Ambassador, at Therapia, twice, before he sailed with the intention of carrying his trade on a blockaded coast. " As for your funds being very low, and the small remainder of provisions on board, I believe Mr. Bell, who was the prin cipal cause of the detention of the schooner, must supply you with the one and the other till I receive a decisive answer from St. Petersburgh ; otherwise, as Mr. Bell is already in corre spondence with the British Consul at Odessa, you can write to him for your wants. But in case you should be refused by the one and other, and the crew (which must be quite innocent in the cause) will be in want of provisions, I have given the necessary orders to issue such provisions, according to the allowances established in our navy, so soon as those now on board the Vixen will be expended.

For the last two months it has been the intention of the leading Reformers of the borough of Finsbury to in. vito their two Members to a public dinner, and to make the occasion an union of all classes of Reformers, and a pledge of cordial and active co-operation. This was to have taken place before the meeting of Parliament, but the great Middlesex Dinner having been fixed for the 23d ult., it was deemed more prudent to defer it for a short time. At the meeting of the Finsbury Reform Club last night, it was resolved that a dinner be given to Messrs. Duncombe and Wakley, at such time in the month of March as may be deemed expedient. A Com mittee was formed to make the necessary arrangements, and there is no doubt that the constituency of Finsbury will unite with zeal and alacrity to honour their two excellent representa tives, and to convince the Tories that all their hopes of divi sion among the Reformers of that borough are vain. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Fin. 6. ETTY Y. JACKSON. In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when our Reporter quitted the Court, the Jury returned a verdict for the pluintiff—damages, 3001. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FRR. 6. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. GREENLAND. This - was an information to rece;ei : FrOMihe - defendant the legal penalties for being concerned in the unshipping of cer tain spirits without payment of duty, and knowingly harbour ing and concealing them. The amount of penalties sought to be recovered was 525/., being three times the amount of the duty upon 35 tubs of brandy, containing 159 gallons. The spirits in question were seized by the Custom• house officers, on the 7th of February last,• in a stable near the Steam-packet Tavern, at Grimsby, in Lincoln.—Verdict for the Crown for the penalties claimed. ADMIRALTY COURT, FRB. 6. TILE NA NC Y —COLLISION. This was a suit promoted by the owners of the British schooner the . EkanorOgainst the owners of a French ship, the Nancy, for darnwes sustained on the 15th of October last, a few miles off the Eddystone Light-house. The Court was as sisted by two of the Trinity-house Masters, the points in dispute being chiefly as to the nautical skill of the captains and crews of both ships. The Nancy of 513 tons, was on a whaling voyage to the South Seas, and the Eleanor, of 117 tons, was proceeding to Penzance, for a cargo of pilchards. The acci dent took place about eight o'clock in the evening, and the vessels had reached within a cable's length of each other before they discovered their situation.. The main facts in the case, relative to the state of the weather, &e., were not disputed, and the question was, whether the Nancy, by not keeping her course, according to the rule of navigation, when one vessel was on the larboard and the other on the starboard tack, had caused the collision. Sir JOHN Nicitor. having referred to the facts of the case, and conferred with the Trinity House Masters, who were of opinion that the collision could not have been prevented, owing to the darkness of the night, said the collision was an unfortu. nate occurrence, and that the Court therefore directed their owners to pay their own costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HOUSE. Yesterday a jobbing porter, named James Wood, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged on suspicion of hav ing stolen an editi on o f Il ogart h' s wor k s , t h e property o f M r . Solomons, of No. 194, Whitechapel-road. Mr. Solomon occasionally employed the prisoner to carry goods to and from customers, and had never till the last job had reason to suspect the man's integrity. A little more than a week ago he sent the prisoner to the house of a shopkeeper in the Poultry for an edition of flogarth's works, which had originally cost 39 guineas, and which he had left in the Poultry for sale. The prisoner received the book, but never returned with it, and at last the fellow was found, after a considerable time spent, evidently in drunkenness, without the works, and without his knot, and the excuse he made was that having been seized with a violent fit of intoxication he %vent from public-house to public-house until he was stretched in a helpless state in the neighbourhood of Shoreditch. The LORD MAYOR (to the prisoner) =Have you no recollec tion where you last had the book ? Prisoner—The place in which I last recollect having seen it was Fetter-lane, in a pub lic-house. I don't suppose I went into any other sort of house except a pawnbroker's. The Loan MAYOR—And what took you to the pawnbroker's? Prisoner—The fact is, as I was going along with the book, 1 called in to have a glass, and that brought in another and then as I began to feel I was going, I thought it would be better to take care of the book, so I stepped into a pawnbro ker's in Gray's inn -lane, and left it there for a shilling. So when I came out of the pawnbroker's, I-went into another public-house, and drank off the shilling ; and then, as the devil was in me, I went into the pawnbroker's again, and got another shilling 'upon it, and nothing would do me but I must drink that too. The Loan M Avon—Why, what a drunken beast you must be. Prisoner—Your Lordship couldn't get a beast to do as I did. Well, I had a job to .do next day, to carry some chairs for Mr. SolOrnons ; so I took the chairs to the pawnbroker's, and left them there, and took away the book, because I was determined to take it home ; but the Devil comes up to me again, and in I must walk to another public-house, where I had a drop of something, and that set me going again. The LORD MAYOR— What l after all this intoxication ? Prisoner—And no mistake. When I came out, I was walking steadily down Gray's Inn-lane, when who should I meet, a few doors off, but the Devil again ; and in I walked, sure enough, into another public-house. —Remanded. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) CURRIE V. TYSEIt. This case came before the Court upon demurrer. The bill was filed by Messrs. Currie and Woodgate, solicitors, for the purpose of establishing a lien in certain funds, standing to the credit of the cause, and which bad been ordered to be paid to Mrs. Tyser, formerly their client. The allegation in the bill was that, from time to time, during the pendency of the suit, they had made advances to Mrs. Tyser, a married womnn, which she had agreed to pay them out of the monies to be recovered in the cause. Mr. and Mrs. Dunn, the parties demurring, had also been made defendants to the present bill, and also claimed a lien on the same property. The demurrer was-put is on two grounds ; first, that the bill contained no statement which, according to the principles on which the Court acted, would entitle the plaintiffs to the lien they claimed ; and, secondly, that Mrs. Dunn might .be an important witness to Mr. and Mrs. Tyser, were she not a party to the record. The MASTF:R. of TIIE ROLLS (without calling on Mr. Gir dlestone, who appeared for the plaintiff,) said that whether the verbll agreement made between the plaintiffs and Mrs. Tyser could legally affectian unascertained fund, the subject of a suit, was a matter for serious consideration, and might place the plaintiffs in considerable difficulty in establishing their de mand, but on the present occasion he had , to decide upon the demurrer of Mr. Dunn and his wife, and not upon the de murrer of Mr. and Mrs. Tyser. They admitted upon their demurrer that they claimed themselves a lien on the fund ; and his Lordship therefore thought the demurrer must be overruled. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SOUTH-SEA COMPANY. This case was ordered to stand over in consequence of the Solicitor-General, who appears for the relators, being engaged to-day in a case in the Court of Exchequer. RF.ECE V. REECE. This case, which was heard and decided by the present Lord Chancellor when Master of the Rolls, came on again upon a re-hearing this morning before Lord Langdale. The ques tions in the cause arise upon the construction of a most com plicated will, which appears to have puzzled all who have had hitherto anything to do with it. The case was proceed ing when we left the Court. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Lord DENHAN and a Special Jury.) STOCKDALE V. HANSARD,—LIBEL. This was an action for libel brought by 1. 1. Stockdale, the publisher, against the Meisrs. Hansard, printers to the House of Commons, for publishing a Report of .the Inspectors of Prisons, which was ordered by the House of Commons to be printed, 22d March, 1836. The Report, in alluding to the state of the gaol of Newgate, observed, " We also found se veral books, among them Guthrie's Grammar, the Keepsake Annual, song books, and a work, ---, by , eighteen plates, published by Stockdale in 1827. This last is a book of a most disgusting nature, and the plates are obscene and indecent in the extreme. It was very properly claimed by a prisoner named:---." This was the passage complained of. The damages were laid at 20,0001. The plaintiff 'conducted his own case, and the Attorney- General appeared for the defendants. The publication having been proved by the plaintiff's son, and the alleged libel read, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Jury for the defen dants. He contended that under the plea of not guilty they were entitled to a verdict of acquittal, inasmuch as the publi cation and sale was by order of the House of Commons, of which the defendants were the authorised , printers arid ser vants. Upon the plea of justification also they were entitled to a verdict, as a bare inspection of the work referred to in the Report, would satisfy the Jury that it was most immoral and indecent, and fully justified the terms applied to it by the In spector of Prisons. The case had not terminated when our reporter left. CRIMINAL COURT. -(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. James Skrecne was indicted for attempting to cut the throat of Captain Thomson, of the brig Harriet, on the high seas, within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty Court. It appeared in evidence, that on the 3d of April, 1836, the accused went on board the brig Harriet, in the port of Lon don, as second mate, on a voyage to Trinidad. When about six weeks at sea, he proposed to the Captain to run the vessel into the Brazils and there sell the freight and crew. He said he would find a purchaser, and that it could easil3 be accom plished, as there were only two of the crew of whom he was afraid. The prosecutor objected, and on the 12th of May he was about mentioning the circumstance to the men on .board, when they told him that they were not satisfied with the pri soner's conduct, and did not consider him fit to act as mate. Nothing however was done, and on the evening of the 17th of May, between eight and nine o'clock, the Captain and steward were sitting in the cabin, when the former cbserved the prisoner looking in at the door, and said he did not wish to see him. The prisoner rushed into the cabin, seized the prosecutor, drew a knife and cut him from the mouth to the ear. The accused was then bound to a spare topmast, and brought to Trinidad, whence he was conveyed to England. On the cross-examination of the witnesses it appeared that the prisoner during the month of May seemed under the im pression that the crew intended taking away his life, and his conduct throughout was such as to indicate an aberration of intellect. Mr. DOANF. addressed the jury on behalf of tho prisoner, contending, that at the time of the occurrence he was in an unsound state of mind. BRIGHTON-MONDAY. Their Majesties availed themselves of the delightful change of the weather, and took a carriage drive this aftei noon.

The Mid-Lothian Steeple Chase came off on Thursday last in, the neighbourhood of Currie, nine miles from Edinburgh, when the follovving horses came to the start:--Mr. Laing's Snowball (owner), Mr. Thomson's Bustler (Mr. Key), Mr. Coeksedge's Governor (owner), Mr. Rodgers's Rob Roy (owner), Mr. Short's Fra Diavolo (owner), Mr. Simpson's Sligo (owner). Mr. Cocksedge took the lead at a smart pace considering the heaviness of the ground, and kept it till the third fence, where he was ridden down by Mr. Key. Mr. Shot then shot a. head, followed by Mr. Laing, Mr. ROdgers, and Mr. Key, and kept his place till the fourth last fence, where he nas rubbed off in crossing a new cut hedge. Mr. Laing then took the lead, followed closely by Mr. Rodgers up to the last fence where Mr. Laing's horse refused. Mr. 'Rod gers now had it all to himself, took the fence in great style, and won easy. There has seldom or never been witnessed a more sporting chase over such heavy ground and rasping fences; in proof of which we need only add, that the distance, though four miles, was run in the short space of twelve minutes.

Chaplain addressed himself to the congregation at large, .who listened attentively to his observations (except a gang of transports, on whose countenances Villain was dis tinctly written, and whose glance at the preacher told of scorn and defiance) ; and, after a pause, he turned himself towards the murderer Pegsworth, and spoke of shame, ignominy, sor rows, sufferings, childless parents, widows, broken and con trite hearts, and death. The wretched criminal was dreadfully agitated, and /t one time fainted with emotion. He frequently sobbed aloud convulsively, while the excited congreation was in tears.—Morning Herald.

It is said of Avicenna, a celebrated mathematician, that he sometimes solved problems in his dreams, which were too difficult for him in his waking hours. Of this there have been modern instances. And St. Augustine in forms us that his friend and disciple, Favonius Eulogius, ob tained in a dream the true meaning of an obscure passage in Cicero, which had occurred to him the preceding day, in preparing for his own pupils. A A double suicide was committed a few days ago in the Rue Montorgucil, Paris, by two lovers, each about 20 years of age. A strong smell of charcoal having been per ceived, an alarm was raised at their door, but no answer being procured the Commissaire de Police was called in, and the chamber door was forced open. The first spectacle which presented itself was that of the two deluded your).- persons lying dead by a large charcoal fire. On a little table near them was a packet of sealed letters, addressed to dif ferent persons, with a note in the handwri t i ng of the d ecease d young_ man, requesting that they might h e delivered as di rected. On the same were two locks of hair, cut from the heads of the lovers, and tied together with a black ribbon. Medical skill did all that was possible for their restoration immediately on the discovery, but it was too late. The pre cise causes for their taking so mournful a resolution are not known;but pecuniary embarrassment was one of them. On Saturday, as two men were going to their work, they saw - something in the river, near Wakekeld-bridge, which turned out to be a horse's head.
