The Prinoess Lieven accom- PartY• g It LI added th4t ere thb doe of the fashion- A Duke of Brunswick was once accosted in Venice by a boy who solicited charity. The Duke told him that he had no small change ; on which the boy offered to get him change for a piece of gold. The Duke thought this a ridi culous circumstance, and to rid himself of the applicant he gave him a ducat, in the certainty that the young beggar would keep it. Aft er a very short ti me t h e lad returned, to his great surprise, with the full change for his dticat in the small coin of Venice. The Duke, struck with his ho nesty, not only gave him the gold, bnt undertook to provide for him, and afterwards promoted him to honourable em ployment._ The price of the 41b. loaf, best quality, at Paris, re mains fixed for the remainder of the month at 12 sous. STATISTICS OF POISONING IN FRANCE. It results from the researches of Dr. Chevalier, a member of the Academy o f M e di c i ne i n P ar i s, an d o f M. Bois-de-Lowry : —lst. That within seven years 273 individuals have been tried for administering poison ; of whom 171 have been acquitted, and 102 condemned.-2dly. That the poisons employed were in fifty-four cases arsenic, in seven verdigris, in five cantha rides, in five perchlorurc of mercury, in four nux vomits, in three powder for the destruction of flies, in two nitric acid, in one sulphur of arsenic, in one emetic tartar, in one opium, in one acetate of lead, in one white lead, in one sulphuric acid, in one sulphate of zinc, in one mercurial ointment, in five poisons not named.-3dly. That the assigned motives for the crimes have been—in twenty_eight cases interest, in twenty four libertinism, in fifteen vengeance, in ten jealousy, and in six madness.-4thly. In twenty_eight out of eighty-one cases the poison was administered in broth, in eight cases in milk, seven in flour, four in medicine ; twice it was introduced im mediately into the mouth, twice in coffee, once in cider, a,nd once in a fowl. It has been remarked that in many cases the taste communicated by the poisonous substances has saved the victims, and that in others the colour of the poison has been a a salutary warning. Hence Messrs. Chevalier and Boys-de- Loury conclude that poisonings would be Ic6s frequent if poi struO'uS subgtances were cololired or Idived sapid. able season, they and other illustrious personages intend being in London. The Grand Duke, we learn, makes the grand tour ere his return home; and, to effect this, the Emperor grants to the heir apparent leave of absence for three years. The Duke of Wellington has presented to the Keeper of Hyde Park some exquisitely sculptured vases, re presenting the " Triumph of Bacchus," and they have been placed on pedastals in the slip of the garden-ground at the Lodge opposite Apsley-house. They are antiques found at Navarino after the battle. THE EAST INDIA DOCKS.—A meeting of the proprietors of the East India Docks was held at the Dock. House, when the purchase of the Billiter-lane and Crutched friars warehouses, made at the sale on Tuesday last, was com municated to them by the Directors, and a resolution was una nimously passed adopting and confirming the purchase, and thanking the Court of Directors for the discretion and promp titude with which they had acted. CIVIC PATRIOTISM.—It is at length admitted by one of the most " liberal" of the London body corporate that the different Committees of the Common Council could not be got together for the purpose of business without the temptation of the good dinners which are provided on such occasions, at an expense of 4,0001. per annum ! LYME REGIS.—On the arrival here of the resigna tion of Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues, which was com municated to us by our worthy representative, W. Pinney, Esq., the bells were set ringing, but our vicar interfered, and threatened the ringers with an ecclesiastical prosecution if they did not desist instantly, and he himself took possession of the belfry. The reformers instantly got out the reform guns, and gave not only the Tories of Lyme, but of the surrounding neighbourhood, a prime salute ; the band also paraded the streets, for great was the joy of the people on the occasion.—Sherborne Journal. EAST KENT ASSOCIATION.—We have the pleasure of announcing that this Society is now in active ope ration, and that nothing will, as hitherto, be lost to the good cause for want of a due attention to the liberal interests. In the event of an election unexpectedly occurring,we trust there will be a simultaneous movement in every part of the district, calling on the Hon. Richard Watson to come forward as a candidate without delay. Mr. Watson pledges himself to de cided reform principles, without which all " friendship " is an insulting deception upon every portion of the suffering over taxed community. —Kent Herald. Information has 'reached us, that if a contested election should take place for South Devon, a penny subscrip tion will be raised throughout the county to return Lord John Russell free of expense, as being the friend of civil and reli gious liberty. Nothing can be better than such a course, and nothing, we are assured, wou ld b e more hi g hl y apprec i ate d b y the Noble Lord, who has so arduously and so successfully la boured for the people.—Sherborne Journal. We are requested to say that there is not the least foundation for the statement that Mr. Macready had become the lessee of the Richmond theatre. It is very generally rumoured in the legal circles that, should an Administration be formed by Lord Melbourne, Mr. Sergeant Wilde will be appinted either Attorney or So licitor-General. Both the Learned Sergeant and Sir W. Follett have already proved this Session that there are excep tions to the maxim " that lawyers generally fail in the House of Commons." HERALDRY.--The heraldry of Europe, according to Captain James Lowe, has evidently derived its origin from the East. It was intimately associated with religion and super stition. Maurice observes that by the same hardy race—the de scendants of the Tartar tribes which tenanted the north of Asia—were introduced into Europe armorial bearings, which were originally nothing more than hieroglyphical symbols, mostly of religious allusion, that distinguished the banners of the potentates of Asia. The eagle belongs to the ensign of Vishna, the bull to that of Siva, and the falcon to that of Rama. The sun rising behind a recumbent lion blazed on the ancient ensign of the. Tartar, and the eagle of the sun on that of the Persians. The Humza, a famous goose, one of the incarna tions of Boodha, is yet the chief emblem of Burman banners. The Russians, no doubt, had their standard from the eat-tern nations ; it is the type of Garuda. The Islamites took the crescent, a fit emblem either of a rising or setting empire, and of their primeval worship. Horace Walpole has taken great pains to prove that Richard 111. was neither crook-backed nor ill-favoured, but that he was the h an d somest man of his age. He would have better served the cause of truth and justice had be ex hibited him in the light of a wise and constitutional Sovereign. The faithless and infamous John and his successors have been praised for their boon to the Barons, but it was Richard who gave Englishmen a real charter of their liberties. Previously to his accession to the Throne, debtors, and all others liable to arrest, were obliged to lie in gaol until the day of trial, but the first act of Richard was to propose to Parliament that bail should be taken by the Sheriff in all such cases ; the Act was passed, and Englishmen have enjoyed the benefit of it ever since. Extract of a Letter from Naples of the 2d instant : i 7 esuvius, which had for the last fortnight given indica tions of an approaching eruption, bust forth last evening in all its fury. During the afternoon a storm of hail and rain had detained the crowd of visitors at Resina, who would otherwise have been inevitably sacrificed, as the very ground round' the crater where hundreds had been walking only the evening before was carried up into the air at the first explosion. The Pope's girandola of a thousand rockets is a joke to it. At half-past nine (within less than three hours) the detonations ceased, and the fire gradually subsided. This morning there is not even the least smoke." A letter of the 2d instant from Rome says :—" The excavations making at the site of the ancient Vulcia, now called Jenuta di Campo Scala, under the direction of a society authorised by the Cardinal Camerlingo, have been very suc cessful. There have been found in the tombs many cups and vases finely painted with historical and mythological subjects. Within the town of Vulcia three colossal statues in marble and one in bronze have been discovered, with bas-reliefs, columns bearing Etruscan and Latin inscriptions, and various instru merits of gold and silver." THE INDIAN CHIEF.—The Indian Chief, Muk Coonse, who has acquired so much celebrity, is about to re turn with his sister, and remaining portion of his tribe, to his native home, having, it is understood, accomplished the pri mary object of his migration, viz., the settlement of some land, purchased by our Government. Since his acquittal for an alleged offence, several patties have been eager to engage him for exhibition. The managers of the Garrick and Pavi lion Theatres have made offers for the performance of himself and party ; an enterprising omnibus proprietor has offered no less than 1001. for the three Greenwich fair days, for the Chief to exhibit at his repository on the Greenwich-road. Sir Augustus D'Este, and his other patrons, have, however, placed their veto against any further exhibition of himself and followers as puppets to " the million." The Chief and his sister have acquired some knowledge of English, but on their return they will be reinstated in all their " native dignity." The Chief has lost his squaw, and two of his tribe, during his short sojourn in this country. One of his followers has just recovered from a severe attack of the small-pox. THE WEATHER.--The Metropolis and country around since Wednesday evening, has been visited with one of those sudden changes for which this variable climate is pro verbial. The fine vernal weather which to appearance had be come permanently set in, has been exchanged for the chilly coldness and driving storms of snow, sleet, and hail, appropri ate to December. The coachmen complain that the cold was intense on Wednesday night. Thursday morning was dull and heavy, and its afternoon ushered in a heavy fall of large flaked snow ; this was succeeded by flakes duller in colour and more dense, being a character between snow and ice. They had evidently passed through a colder stratum of air after dropping from t ecloud ; k iil followed, andat nine again came a severe frost. On Friday morning the waggons, particularly from the north road, came with their waggon tilts from four to six inches deep in snow. The blossoming fruits were cut off, and a large pear tree in Bowling Green-lane,• Clerkenwell, which the day before gave joyous promise of a goodly crop was yes terday morning stripped bare. The same was of course ob servable elsewhere. The frost during the night was intense, and in exposed situations, where tender shrubs had been taken in, the saucers being left without, the water in them, was solid ice of depths from a quarter of an inch to nearly two-thirds of an inch. The sun shone but faintly yesterday, and through out the day, in sheltered places, the freezing still continued in progess, and if the weather thus continues a few days longer, the serpentine may be expected to be frozen over, and the ska ters there and elsewhere enjoying at Easter the sport of Christ mas in olden time, but which for the last three years have from the mildness of the winter been withheld. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1835. DEVONSHIRE ELECTION. confidence to the Electors of Devon. They have done their duty on former occasions, and we are satisfied they will do it again on this. 'PAR both countries. This treaty was hailed by the reflecting part of the community, and particularly by merchants and manufacturers, as the harbinger of a lasting peace, and under a sincerely pacific Administration might have been rendered invaluable in promoting the good understanding once more subsisting between the two Governments ; but unhappily this treaty was of short duration, for in 1793 England and France were again involved in an awful con— test, which continued with little intermission till 1815 : when after a waste of blood and treasure, unparalleled in the history of the world, peace was restored. The expences of the French war have been estimated ag under, and these sums are probably far within the actual' cost, viz. : DUBLIN. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. Great Britain spent in the war 1793 to 1815... £750,000,000 France Austria The other States of Europe The three years war cost the United States of America - 27,000,000 £2,699,00M,000 As regards Great Britain, the seven hundred and fifty millions expended in the late war, remains (now in 1835) unliquidated, except a very small part—and to this vast sum should be added the following sources of loss and ex pense, some of which are likely to be entailed on the public for ages, viz. : First, The number and value of British merchant yea sels, and their cargoes, captured and destroyed by the ene my during the war 1793 to 1815. Second, The number and value of British merchant ships wrecked by being deprived of access to friendly harbours by the war. Third, The amount of British property seized by and destroyed during the War. At Hamburgh, Bremen, Venice, France, Amsterdam, Moscow, Leghorn, Spain, Rotterdam, Copenhagen, Naples, and other Francfort, Dantzic, Genoa, places. Leipsic, Riga, Trieste; and in 1815. —N.B. Claims against Denmark having lately been lodged with the British Commissioners to the amount of X 550,000 sterling ! Fourth, The amount of taxes raised from 1815 to 1835, to pay the interest of the war debt. Pita], The amount of military, naval, and other pensions, 1815 to 1835. Sixth, The increase of the establishment beyond tl-tat of 1792. It is stated that two millions of human beings fell a sacri fice to the late war, among the several belligerents. The losses and expences connected with war, as stated above, are more or less applicable to all the above wars: thus to the unli quidated amount of William the Third's war, should be added the taxes imposed on the public from 1697 to 1835, a period of 138 years, to pay the interest of the war debt of that reign.

EXPECTED ELECTION FOR THE SOUTHERN DIVISION. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 16. All doubt as to whether or not the Tories intend to oppose the election of Lord John Russell in the event of a new election, is now at an end ; for yesterday morning an address to the electors made its appearance on the walls of our town, having attached to it the name of " Edmund Montagu Newcombe Parker," the Tories' man. He states in his address that he comes forward at the call of some of the electors made to him "in the present state of public affairs, which will lead, in all probability, to an immediate election." He also says, that should he be elected, it is his firm determination " to support the Constitution as it exists in Church and State, against the attacks of those who will see nothing but what is defective." Yesterday the Tories' hole-and-corner meeting, at Yealmpton, " came off." They would have it believed it was a public meeting of those resident at Yealmpton and the adjoining parishes, though it was not convened by any public announcement. The clergy and their representatives, as we expected, were prominent characters, and ever and again echoed—" Church and State," and " The Church is in danger." We fear that many of the electors in that part of this district will be duped by them ; though, speaking with reference to the Southern Division generally, we have no fear on this score. There are, however, we understand, several gentlemen who hitherto have not declared whom they will support. Amongst them we might name Sir Ralph Lopez, Bart., M.P. We conceive he will support Lord John, for, should he not do so, he will meet with a cool reception by many of the electors of Westbury, should he present himself to them on any future occasion. The respective friends of Lord John Russell and Mr. Parker continue their exertions from day to day, prosecut ing them, if possible, as each day advances, .with increased vigour. Never on any occasion was greater alacrity shown by partisans than on the present. In this district of the Southern Division, which comprises 21 parishes containing 1,021 registered electors, Lord John Russell has decidedly the advantage over his opponent. Report states 3to I. To-day being market-day, Lord john Russell's Com mittee set specially for many hours, for the convenience of the country voters, many of whom, we understand, called on the Committee to record their votes in favour of his Lordship. This morning a placard appeared on the walls of our town announcing that a meeting of the friends of Mr. Parker would be held this day at the Royal Hotel at twelve o'clock, when they would receive from that gentleman a statement of his political sentiments. Accordingly be tween twelve and one o'clock a meeting was held, which was attended by about 150 persons, many of whom were not electors. • The chair was taken by Captain R. H. ROGERS, R.N. The CHAIRMAN introduced Mr. Parker, who then spoke to the following effect :—" Gentlemen—AgreeaPy to my declaration of yesterday, I now appear before you as a candidate for the representation of the Southern Division of this county in Parliament, in the event of a vacancy occurring. I think it necessary at the outset to state the grounds on which I solicit your suffrages, as well as to give an exposition of my principles. I regret one 'thing, how ever—the cause which has brought us together. I refer to the dismissal of time late Government—the dismissal of a gentleman from the Councils of his Sovereign, who had and was then producing measures for the benefit of this country.—(Loud cheers.) I regret this still more, as in consequence of it those measures were left incomplete. It is now for you to say whether the ener gies of the country are to be roused or not-a-as, untried and inexperienced, with my public life before me, I have nothing but professions to offer you, but I have no political errors to atone for. I have stated, in my address to you, that should I be the object of your choice, it is my firm deter mination to support the constitution of these kingdoms as it exists in Church and State." Mr. Parker then briefly referred to the question of the Irish Church, and called on the meeting to look at the men by whom this measure was supported. " Who," said he, " are those wise and moral legislators ? The very men bound by their oaths not to interfere in the question. Will you consent to be subjected to the dominion of Mr. O'Connell ? " Mr. On the 29th May 1660, Charles the Second was re- Parker then stated that he would not pledge himself on stored to the throne of England.

It is no wonder they s h ou ld ; for beseeching and besieging let ters are pouring out in all directions, imploring every Tory in the land, by every abuse that he holds most dear, and every monopoly that he holds IV* sacred, to pour the flat tering distilment into the Royal ear. It is reaii laughable to see the agents, under-agents, bailiffq, and drivers Of our great men scampering about on coach-horses, mules, jack asses, or any other single-hoofed animal which the urgency of the moment supplies, in quest of signatures to addresses for fixing the Peel Ministry on its legs again. But they have not dared, in any one instance, to call a public meet ing. This circumstance is decisive as to the real state of public feeling on the subject. The people in the mean time are pouring forth their joy, not in addresses, but in bonfires and illuminations. On Sunday night the province of Munster, and a great part of Leinster, presented a continuous chain of fires. Ninety seven fires—the Standard would think ninety-eight more germane . to the matter—were reckoned from an eminence in the county of Kilkenny. On Tuesday morning the Evening Mail arrived with the "glorious news," that Sir Robert Peel was Premier again, and that a dissolution of Parliament was to take place immediately. The in telligence spread great consternation through the country, and even the Tories, who rejoiced at the supposed restoration of their favourite, shuddered at the mention of another general election. Such an experiment would in deed be most dangerous, if not fatal, to the peace of Ire land ; and what practical object could it serve ? Unques tionably the result would be an addition of five or six Libe ral Members to the sixty-three Irish Representatives, who have so well fought the battle of their country in this Par liament ; and even should a preponderating advantage be gained in England (which none but a fool could imagine), no acts or declarations of any future Parliament can ever make tithe, without a full legal recognition of the prin ciple of appropriation, recoverable again in Ireland. An army equal to that which fought at Waterloo would not enable any Government, however " firm," to enforce that principle in the assertion of which Sir Robert Peel felt him self bound to quit office. C'en est fait. The appropriation is to all intents and purposes carried already. Whether the intrigues of the gentlemen and ladies in the Anti-Reform interest may or may not succeed in arresting for a while the progress of the only good and safe govern• ment still appears, at this distance from the centre of intel ligence, extremely doubtful ; but if they do, woe to them selves, and woe to the country. The success of such an intrigue would indeed propel the march of revolution, not to say of anarchy, in a frightfully accelerated pace. When the day comes, however, and come it will assuredly, and soon, that popular Ministers may take the helm without a dread of being jostled from their place by indirect means or paltry instruments, it may be hoped that the virulent exer tions now made to defeat the just expectations of the coml .. try by persons high in station, who received their promotion from a Whig Government, will not be forgotten or unre warded.

A female domestic in the family of a respectable gentleman, re siding in George-street, having died, her remains were being taken to their place of sepulture this morning. The proces sion had reached the New-bridge, when the most revolting contest rose, from the desire of the woman's husband that she should be buried in a particular place, while the immediate family of the deceased insisted that the corpse should be borne to a different locality. A dreadful riot between the parties was the consequence, and several persons were injured. The entire police force of the city were required to restore order before the funeral was permitted to proceed on its way.— Limerick Herald. Some labourers on the banks of the river opposite Grogneul, in the Eure et Loire, on rooting up some poplars, lately found an antique Roman vase, containing about 600 silver coins, of the size of a 15 sous piece, forming a series of the Roman Emperors and Empresses from Adrian, who reigned in the year 117, to the younger Gordian, in 238. There is every reason to believe that this money 'has remained ever since the expulsion of the Romans from Gaul, 1,500 years ago. AN EXPENSIVE SAVING.—A spice-merchant of Constantinople, carrying a piece of fine cloth to a tailor, de sired to have a cloak and a tunic made of it, and inquired if there was enough ? The artist having measured the stuff, de clared it sufficient ; and then requested to know " what had been the cost of it ?" " Five sequins," replied the customer, " was the price ; and considering the quality, that is not dear." The tailor paused for a moment—" I am a beginner in trade," said he to the spice-dealer, " and money is an object to me— give me two sequins, and I will show you how you may save three in this affair." " I agree," returned the other, and the two sequins were produced and paid. "It is well," said the man of the needle, "lam a person of my word. This cloth has cost five sequins , and I have promised to save you three. Take it, then, to some other tailor, and Allah direct you to one of more experience ; for I have never made such a dress as that you want, and if I attempt it, it will certainly be spoiled." Thursday • morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock, the following awful instance of sudden death occurred to Mr. John Epps, the ham and beef shopkeeper, residing in High Holborn. It appears that the deceased, a few seconds previous, - was standin g laughingin his shop, and talking - with one of his shopmen, when suddenly he fell forward, apparently in a fit. Medical aid was promptly procured, and. . e very re medy used to - restore anitnatten; - but all entieavOur - s. proia ineffectual. Mr. Epps was- prOppietov of nearly-twenty-barn and beef shops in various parts el the metropolis, and father of Dr. Epps the pbrcnologist. 11 , :s
