HE experience of past years having amply proved the advantage, at this season, of acting upon the advice of the Faculty, in the substitution of weak Brandy and Water, as an ordinary beverage, for Beer or other fermentable liquors, and no greater cost, J. T. BETTS and Co., trust that they need simply caution the public against any of the spurious articles offered for sale being foisted upon them, in lieu of their PATENT IhAN DY ; which is the only Brandy secured by P a t en t Ri g ht, and the only one that has the direct sanction, for purity and fperfection, of eminent Chemists, after analysis (short extracts rom two of whose Testimonials are subjoined) and the power support and recommendation of the first Physicians, from a conviction of its salutary properties. Since its introduction in 1 529, its superior merits have secured to it the constant sup port of all ranks and classes.

Previous, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of marriage, it becomes an impressive duty not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. Luxurious habits will effemi nize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre —but snore especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope-- energy—muscular strength—felicity. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with effect. Confident in our own honourable integrity as Members of the College of Sur geons, we refer the suffering community of either sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given for personal consultation ; and letters front the country are immediately answered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, describing minutely the case, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant.

PORTSMOUTH, JULY 25.—The Barham, 50, Captain Corry, arrived on Tuesday from the north coast of Spain, from which neighbourhood she brings but little intelligence, her officers having been only on shore at Portugalette, a small town at the cuts ance of the river in which Bilboa is situated ; they saw, however, the Carlist force in that neighbourhood, and describe it as being only an accumulation of guerillas, who adhere to Carlos in the expectation that if he be successful he will insure them in the continuance of some peculiar local privileges they enjoy in Navarre and Biscay, and which privileges being one rous to the great bulk of the Spanish nation, will be withheld by the Liberal party. The Ringdovc, 16, was loft off the port, and the Saracen, 10, was moored six miles up the river, for the protection of British subjects and British property. The Castor, 36, was at Santander, with sails unbent ; and the Bar ham supplied her with all the provisions and stores she could spare on leaving her. A barge belonging to the Castor, and under the command of the Hon. Lieut. Carnegie, was lately interrupted while going up to the Saracen by the Carlists, who, in the first instance, behaved very rudely to that officer and his crew, and marched them as prisoners up the hill to the Commandant. Every apology was then made for the inter ruption, which, Mr. Carnegie was assured, originated in mis take. The utmost civility was afterwards shown, and after dinner they were returned in honour to their boat. Colonel Chichester was actively employed drilling his British recruits. The Barham brought home and sent to Haslar Hospital, to be cured at the expense of the Spanish Government, five seamen of Captain Henry's steamer, who had been badly wounded at the time Captain Fitzpatrick was killed in the recent defence of Bilboa. The Barham left Spithead this evening for Cowes to em bark Lord Durham and suite with his carriages and baggage, She will quit Cowes about Tuesday morning for Constan tinople. The Maitland transport, Lieut. Binstead, Agent, arrived on Tuesday, from Malta, whence she sailed on the 16th June, with 300 naval and military invalids, including 150 men dis charged f rom the s qua d ron on t h e recent reduction' of the several crews. The fleet was at Athens, which they were about to leave for Vourla. The ships at Malta were the Ceylon, with the flag of Admiral Briggs, Endyrnion, Colum bine, and Alban, Confiance, and Blazer steam vessels. The Scout was hourly expected at Malta, previous to her departure for England. The passengers by he Maitland arc—Lieut. Estrange, sth Regiment, Lieut. Elliott, Royal Artillery, Mr. Henning, Surgeon, Mr. Stoddert, Assistant- ' Surgeon R. N., Mr. Monro, Assistant- Surgeon, 7th Fusiliers ; Mrs. Robert son and family, widow of the late Commissary-General, Malta; Mrs. Showers, widow of the late Apothecary of the Forces, Malta; Mrs. Baker and family, widow of the late Vice-Consul at Syracuse ; Mrs. Locker and family, widow of the Registrar of the Admiralty Court, Malta; Mrs. O'Meara and family, civilian. The Pique, 36, Hon. Captain Rous, sailed on Thursday morning at daylight for Quebec, with the Commissioners on board for settling the differences between the two Canadas and this country, consisting of the Earl of Gosford, Right Hon. Sir Charles Grey, and Sir George Gipps, with Mr. Elliott as Secretary to the Commission. The Pique will return to Eng land immediately with Lieut.-General Lord Aylmer, appointed to the command of the forces in Ireland. The Meteor steamer having broken three of the straps of her engine a few minutes after she quitted her moorings on Wednesday, and thereby bent several of the rods, she was compelled to return and have the mischief repaired ; this will be completed in a few days, when she will proceed to the West Indies. In consequence of this delay in her sailing the Lightning steamer came here this morning, and took on board J. Minchm, Esq., the English Vice-Consul of Fayal, for pas. sage to Lisbon, whither she has proceeded, touching at Ply mouth for despatches. The Melville, 74, was paid off on Wednesday, with the ex ception of Captain Hart and his boat's crew, as he must re main in commission as long as the Court-martial, of which he is a member, is sitting. The Royal Sovereign arrived on Tuesday from the river, to take on board convicts from this port, seventy of whom from the Leviathan, and an hundred from the York, embarked on the following day. At Spithead—Maitland transport, Royal Sovereign convict ship. In Harbour—Victory, Royal George, Excellent, Melville, Magicienne, and Meteor. The last flag promotion, in July, 1830, left 198 Admirals on the list; since which 59 have died. In the other ranks, five years since, there were 820 Captains, 907 Commanders, 3,559 Lieutenants, 526 Masters, 728 Surgeons, 356 Assistant- Surgeons, and 643 Pursers. These several lists arc now re duced by 55 Captains, 64 Commanders, 490 Lieutenants, 55 Masters, 48 Surgeons, 74 Assistant-Surgeons, and 36 Pursers, forming a diminution of 881 Officers on the half•p:y list of he Navy. 1 PURSERS OF TUE ROYAL Ne Y.—As many of this class of LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 27, 1835.

Shortly before five the Counsel in this case were ad mitted, and Mr. Wigram addressed their Lordships on the part of the petitioner, Charles Malpas, of Leamington Priors, who prayed for an Act of Divorce to dissolve his marriage with Isabella Bowness, formerly Smith, who had been proved to have committed adultery with John Camp den Cawley, of Keppell-street, Russell-square, in a trial which took place in the Court of King's Bench on the Bth of May last. Lord BROUGHAM-4 read the evidence given before the Ecclesiastical Court. lam perfectly acquainted with it. You got 40s. damages ? Mr. WIGRAM—Yes, my Lord. The adultery was clearly proved with Mr. Cawley.. _ _ _ Mr. WIGRAM then proceeded to state the facts of the case, with the following exception, that a separation pre vious to the present had taken place between the parties in October, 1833, which arose out of a strong suspicion in the mind of Mr. Malpas that his wife had been guilty of adul tery, and which he communicated both to his wife and to Mr. Parkes, his solicitor. He had no direct evidence to adduce on this head to prove the fact against her, though Mr. Malpas was in attendance to depose to all the circum stances that he knew of, but he could produce a letter in which Mrs. Malpas refers to her former fault for which she was now so severely suffering, and declaring that, " if her husband knew all the facts, he would not think SQ badly of her." Lord BROUGHAM—It appears that she was taken back in October, 1832. This is, therefore, a case of condonation. Mr. WIGRAM stated that the second separation took place in August, 1834, and this was followed by the acts of adultery proved in the King's Bench. Lord BROUGHAM—And now the husband wants a divorce ? If a man turns his wife away, and thereby places her within the reach of temptation, is he, therefore, to get a divorce ? I don't see that he is so clearly entitled to it. Mr. WIGRAM stated that the second separation arose out of the incompatibility of their tempers, which, joined to the remembrance of her former error, rendered it absolutely impossible they could live together. Lord BROUGHAM—That is no reason he should send her away, to commit adultery ; for that is the natural con sequence.—(A. laugh.) As to her temper, he should have thought bf that at first. That was his affair. But a wife's bad temper had nothing to do with the grounds of divorce. Lord LYNDHURST—You need not say all this so loud.— (A laugh.) It is your private opinion. Then the condo nation interferes to bar the previous lapse being taken into Mr. WIGRAM submitted that no part of his client's con duct had disentitled him to relief. Lord BROUGHAM—Your case is a verdict of 40s. It is not a case of argument ; it must be proved by evidence. Mr. WIGRAM must be allowed to explain to their Lord ships his view of what the probable motives of the Jury were for giving so small an amount of damages (which were merely nominal), and was proceeding to quote parallel cases when a Noble Lord suggested that it would be proper to hear the evidence. Mr. WIGRAM then called his witnesses, and proceeded, with his Lordship's occasional assistance, to examine. Mr. W. Parkes, of Gray's Inn, solicitor for Mr. Malpas. He produced the marriage certificate, but was not present at the marriage in St. George's, Hanover-square, in 1827, but had seen them frequently in their own house, living to gether as man and wife. He dined with them and they with him often alone and with others. Mr. Malpas was perfectly good tempered, and treated his wife on those oc casions with affection and kindness. Lord Baounnam—Was he remarkably good tempered? (His Lordship spoke particularly loud and emphatic, as Mr. WIGRAM had announced that Mr. Parkes was rather deaf.) Witness—l should say, yes. Lord BROUGHAM—I am speaking of his temper. Witness—So am I. I have known him for ten years, and never saw him-out of temper. Lord BROUGHAM—Did you ever call upon him to pay your own bill of costs ? Witness—l did. Lord BROUGHAM—Did that ever put him out of tern • per ? Witness-,--Never during the ten years I knew him. Lord BROUGHAM—That was a trial of temper. That will do, Sir.—(A laugh.) Amelia Malpas (sister of the petitioner) was next 'ex amined. She was present at the marriage in 1827. Lived with them for a few days. Saw them living together very amicably in her father's house. Never saw instances of bad temper between them. Mr. Malpas's temper was good. He was irritable occasionally. I heard of the fact of Mr. and Mrs. Malpas living together after the first separation, but I did not see her then. Mr. KNIGHT—I shall now prove the fact of the adultery. Mary Ann Scott was next examined—l live in Keppel street, and let lodgings. A gentleman and lady applied to me for lodgings in March last. I let them a parlour, dressing room, and bedroom. They slept together from the 16th of March to the 3d of April last. They lived to gether as Mr. and Mrs. Cawley. Mr. Parkes was recalled and re-examined. He stated, I remember going on 31st of March last to Mrs. Scott's in Keppel-street, where I saw Mr. Cawley, and the lady called Mrs. Cawley. At first he refused to let me see her, and stated that the lady was under his protection, but I re fused to leave the house until I saw her. He then led me into her bedroom, and there I saw Mrs. Cawley, who was in fact Mrs. Malpas. Lord BROUGHAM said that his mind was by no means made up to grant the divorce. A .man was bound to put up with his wife's bad temper. It would be too bad to grant a divorce for bad temper. The evidence was then ordered to be printed, and the further consideration adjourned sine die. COURT OF CHANCERY. TANNER V. RADFORD. Mr. KNIGHT ip this matter moved to set aside an order of the master of 'the Rolls, which superseded an order of the Vice-Chancellor, permitting the plaintiff, Tanner, to become a bidder at the sale of property of the defendant. The suit was originally instituted by the creditors of the Rev. Mr. Radford, to enforce the sale of certain family ad vowsons, which he possessed in Devonshire. Sir W. HORNE, in support of the order made by the Master of the Rolls, argued that the Vice-Chancellor had been imposed on when he gave the plaintiff, the solicitor to the creditors, any permission to go in as a bidder. Their Lordships took time to consider their judgment. Sir W. HORNE hoped that no proceedings would be taken in the mean time. Sir L. SHADWELL said that judgment would be given in a day or two. No injunction on that point was therefore necessary. „.. Bancal ti,t the time appointed. It was ; if the prisoner's statement is to be believed, that any criminal intercourse took place between the parties. On the 17th of March they arrived at Paris, when letters were written by both, vaguely announcing their end. Bancal, in a letter to his mother, talked of a duel, from the effects of which he was not likely to recover„and Mad. Priolland represented herself as dangerously ill. The 23d of March being the time fixed on for the accomplish= ment of their horrid intent, they paid their bill at the hotel, and ordered a dinner for themselves and a friend at half um. past six o'clock. This friend, named Casemecasse, to whom they intended to bequeath the trust of seeing them buried in one coffin (they have written a letter to that effect, which he was not to receive until next morning), came at the ap pointed hour, and remained with them until ten at.night, without remarking anything in their manner that could awaken suspicion of what was to happen. Bancal accom panied him down stairs, and embraced him affectionately ; and Madame, during his absence, ordered a footbath to be brought into her chamber, so that on his return every thing was in readiness for the dire tragedy, which began about 11 o'clock at night. The following are the details, as given by Bancal himself, in his first examination before the 'Magis trate : ” On the night of the 23d of March, at eleven o'clock, Zelia asked me to put an end to her life. I bled her twice in the legs, and she lost a great deal of blood, and would have fallen from the chair on which she was sitting, had I not with great difficulty supported her. However, after some time, my strength failed me, and she slipped down on the floor. My first efforts to lift her up and place her on the bed were ineffectual, but at length I succeeded, and we lay side by side. The hours wore away, and she still lived. I asked her if she desired to live? She answered, No.' I then spoke of making use of the bistouri which I had, but she objected, saying she could not support the idea of the iron entering her heart. I then asked her if she would take some of the acetate of morphine which 1 had provided ? She said Yes,' and I immediately gave her a dose, having first tasted it myself, and added some sugar to destroy the disagreeable taste. I then took a dose myself. We remained for a long time in that state. I then took a dose myself. We remained for a long time in that state. We felt both of us vertigo, and at length vomiting came on. 1 then divided the artery of her left arm, from which the blood sprung forth. At that instant she saw daylight appear. I had made her suffer very much, but I bad no idea that it was so difficult to cause death. I asked her again .if she wished to live ? She replied, No,' and begged me to put an end to her, Ido not wish that they should see me (said she) . ; they will soon be here, I do not wish to see them. You spoke to me 'of means—employ them.' I then stabbed her with a bistouri, but no blood followed—the blow was too feeble. I stabbed her a second time—that was a good one (celiti-lei fat bon). She pressed my hand, and never after made the least movement. I then stabbed myself thrice with the bis touri. I lost a great deal of blood, but I did not kill myself. I plunged again three times the instrument into my wounds, and turned it in them, but without succeeding. That is all." On the 24th 07 March Casemecasse received the letter written to him the night before, and hastened to the hotel, where, after causing the door of Bancal's chamber to be opened by a locksmith, Bancal and his ill fated victim (she quite dead) were found stretched upon the same bed. A stream of blood was flowing abundantly from a wound in the left breast of Bancal, and who, until the bi_touri was wrested from his hand, was still endeavouring to stab him self with it. On a table lay a letter from Bancal to Casse masse, in which were retraced, hour by hour, all the agoni zing details and harrowing incidents of the dreadful sacri fice. On the same table was another paper, signed by both, ceclaring that it was their own free will, and by their own hands, that they had destroyed themselves. For some days it was supposed that Bancal could not survive. He, however, recovered, but again attempted his own life on the 3d of April, with a knife, which he had con trived to get possession of. In a letter to the Magistrate, he says—" I shall resign myself to live, since I am con demned to do so." He will shortly be tried. Mr. Quin's " Narrative of a Steam Voyage dawn the Danube" will be published in a few days. No European tour furnishes so many novel and romantic objects for the con templation of Englishmen, as a voyage along the shores of this vast river. A perusal of the present animated work will induce numbers of our countrymen to follow the route of the author, and to participate in the rapture he experienced in witnessing so many interesting parts of Hungary, Servia, Wallachia, Turkey, &c. A very short space of time will suf fice for the journey. The volumes will be illustrated by gra phic views of Pest, Belgrade, Neusatz, Peterwardien, and other famous places on the banks of the mighty Danube. UNFORTUNATE FEMALES.—It has often given us great pain to see these poor Magdalens kicked about by the police from one corner to another, with their eggs or fish, their tapes and thread. The police do not hesitate to beat them with their sticks, which is in itself disgraceful to huma nity. A number of the shopkeepers in High-street have seen fit to presont a policeman with a silver snuff-box, for his vigilance and activity in keeping their doors clear of these poor girls. Nay, as if this mark of their approbation of " Jeddart justice" were not sufficiently disgusting in itself, its odious hatefulness must be added to by the Lord Provost of the City. That dignitary is called in, to present the box, bofore all the officers of the police establishment, and a crowded court ; this very vigilant policeman is applauded to the very echo, and others are advised to follow his example. We have begun to present silver snuff-boxes to police offi cers, and the farce of such presentations is at an end.— Glasgow Liberator. _ _ _ STEAM-BOATS IN FRANCE.—On the Ist of January, 1834, the number of steam-boats in France, exclu sive of those of Government, amounted to 95. The number of machines to set them in motion were 118 ; viz., 82 low pressure, and 36 high pressure. It must be observed that these boats having been built some time, were principally constructed on the principle of low pressure, which was then chiefly employed. Of these 118 machines, equal to the power of 3,480 horses, the origin is thus detailed :-34 were of French construction, 59 foreign, and 25 not stated. At the present moment the proportion of French-built machines is not as 34 to 50, but as 125 to 5. The machines, therefore, adapted to steam-engines, which for the most part are of foreign make, indicate by their construction that they belong to an early period when the use of high-pressure engines was little used. —Journal du Commerce. A young officer of the French navy, who was a long time stationed at Senegal, tamed a young hyena, which became attached to him in a degree very unusual for this ferocious animal. On his return to Brest, the Maritime Prefect induced him to send his favourite as a present to the Garden of Plants. After a lapse of time the officer came to Paris, and naturally went to visit the menagerie. In the mean time the animal had resumed all its native ferocity, and became violent the moment any of the spectators even looked steadfastly at it. At the first sight, however, of his former master, the hyena recognised him, showed the utmost satisfaction, mildly moving his head and wagging his tail, as if inviting the officer to caress him. The officer, to the terror of the spectators, .approached the animal, stroked his back, and even put his hand into the crea ture's mouth, but still greater was their astonishment when they saw the beast return his caresses by gently licking his hands. ATROCIOUS MURDER.—Last night a man named John Sheehy, aged about 70, was shot by some fellows in the neighbourhood of Bailinlenders. He was, we understand, the last life in an existing lease, and to terminate the tenure of the existing interest, he was thus summarily disposed of. They first made the unfortunate man drunk, and then shot him.— Limerick Star of Tuesday. DREADFUL CATASTROPHE.—BLOWING . UP OF THE EARL GREY STEAMER.—Yesterday evening, between six and seven o'clock, at Greenock Quay, the Earl Grey, having arrived from Dunoon and just preparing to start for Glasgow, was arrested in her progress by the bursting of her boiler. She was full of passengers—the decks were torn away—the direction of the force was towards the stern—the cabin win dows were all blown out,—and the only part saved was the bow of the vessel, and the passengers in that quarter. A great many of the passengers were forced into the water, many leaped in, and a number were dreadfully scorched, scalded, and lacerated by steam, red-hot coals, and splinters. The amount of passengers who have suffered or died cannot be properly ascertained for a day or two. This accident, it is needless to add, has created the greatest consternation. Great praise is due to the watermen of Greenock for their prompt exertions on this melancholy occasion. Many have been saved in consequence of their humane activity.—Glasgow Liberator of Saturday. SEA SERPENT IN LAKE ONTARIO.—OUr office has been favored with a visit from Captain A. Kellogg, of the schooner Polyphemus, of Sackett's, arrived this morning from Rochester. This gentleman has related to us a tale of wonder —a tale so incredible, that we scruple some, as the Yankees ;n laying his narration before our readers , lest the y mi g ht sa Y' the creation of our imagination. Captain Kellogg ' think that itbu yestera clock, as he was making for evening (June 15th), about seven o i . :Singston harbour, the " Ducks" bearing N. by W. distant two mite; lie saw something lying still on the weather-bow that looked the mast of a vessel. Ob serving it more attentively, he was surprised and alarmed to see it in motion, and steering towards the schooner. Singing out to his hands to take care of themselves, he put the schooner up to the wind, lashed the helm a-lee, and ran up the main rigging, waiting for the • monster to approach. The serpent, for it was no other than an immense snake, neared the vessel fast, and pasted immediately under the stern, taking no notice whatever of the aehooner or those on board, but affording to everybody an ample opportunity to observe and note his mon stfons dimensions. In length he was about 78 feet, of a dark blue color, spotted with brown ; towards either end he tapered off, but about the middle his body was of the circumference of a flour. barrel. His head was peculiarly small, and could not well be distinguished but from the direction in which be naciv t ed _ He swam' with an undulating movement, keeping b?s e t l p en ar f He was in sight full fifteen minutes, h Lwawrence.

The Earl of Derby, Sir John Stanley, Mr. Charles Stanley, and several other distinguished guests were engaged at the time in a game of cricket on the lawn. The alarm bell being rung, the servants and workmen, employed about the premises, amounting to about 250, were speedily collected, and, under the direction of the Noble Earl and others, pro ceeded to extinguish the flames by means of a private fire engine kept at the hall. At the same time an express was sent off to Prescot for further assistrnce. By great exertions, the flames were subdued in about half an hour, there being, fortunately, plenty of water at hand. The roof! of the wing, however, fell ia, and the damage to that part of the building is considerable. Great apprehensions were at one time enter tained that the fire would extend to the state-rooms, and ulti mately to the whole building. Had the accident occurred during the night, nothing could have, prevented such a result. We understand that the fire was caused by the kitchen flues being overheated. Mr. Bentley announces " Paul Clifford," by Mr. Bulwer, as the next number of " The Standard Novels and Romances," complete in one volume. " Eugene Aram," by the same distinguished author, has already been published in one volume, in this collection of the works of the most dis tinguished living novelists, which certainly merits its great and increasing popularity. " Paul Clifford" contains many true and piquant hits at the existing state of things, lively, good-humoured, but not the less pointed. There are little touches which show great knowledge of human nature—such as a dying beauty preserving by her bed-side the luxuriant hair which had been shorn from her fevered head. Perhaps the most original of all Mr. 13ulwer's works, " Paul Clifford" will at once vary and add to its reputation ; for the man of the world there is shrewdness and satire ; for the moralist, matter, indeed, of deep thought ; and, for the young, all the interest of narrative, and all the poetry of feeling."—Literary Gazette. MR. WAKEFIELD'S LIBRARY.—In the sale of the library of the late Samuel Wakefield, Esq., brother of the celebrated scholar, the Rev. Gilbert Wakefield, will be found many curious and valuable books ; but there is one article of extraordinary interest, Fox's Book of' Martyrs, 3 vols. 1641 ; the copy of' John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress, with his autograph signatures and autograph verses by him, on va rious English martyrs. Dr. Southey, in his Life of Bunyan, dilates with enthusiasm on the singular curiosity of this copy ; it was the only book he had in Bedford Gaol, except his Bible, which was bought at a great price by the late Samuel Whitbread, Esq., M. P., for Bedford. There is the most splendid collection of Sir Thomas Lawrence's works ever soli; Daniel's Oriental Scenery, 4 vols., coloured to resemble drawings ; The Voyage Pittoresque de Constantinople, proofs before the letters ; Lucretii Opera, by Wakefield, 3 vols., large paper morocco ; some choice books from the Lamoignon Library, &c., &c.

ANTIQUE RELIC.---A most elegant relic of the time when Ebor owned the Roman's sway was recently turned up between York and Dringhouses, a site rich in Roman remains. It is a signet of iron contained in a case of silver or some mix ture of which silver constitutes the principal part. Its form is as near as possible that of the fashionable eye glass of the present day, neatly engraven, and the rivets are of brass. It has a ring at the top, by which it has in all probability been attached to a chain, and thus worn as an ornament upon the person. On the obverse is a strizing profile of Flavius Do mitian, with the inscription " Flavius Domit," and on the reverse is a man on horseback, the animal in a trot, and the man elevating a whip, seemingly in the act of urging it for ward, with the motto, " Homo et Equs." Flavius Domitian was the second son of Flavius Vespasian, who reigned from A. D. 81 to 96, In which year he Was assassinated, so that the signet, it is likely, is between 17 and 1800 years old, and yet the letters and every part of the engraving are distinct and perfect. This aingtliat state of preservation is doubtless to be attributed to the superior state of the workmanship, and the exactness with which the iron was enclosed and protected by the less corrosive and more precious metal of which the case is composed.— York Paper.

THE CICERONE OF MELROSE ABBEY.—Johnny Bower, one of Scott's servants at Alabotdoicl, who used to show Melrose Abbey to the tidet',s, an; bear that any oth e r prOdUotion of 116 should be preferred to the i! uty of the Last Minstrel." " Faith," said he to Washington Irving, who relates the circumstance in his " Miscellanies," " its just e'en as good a thing as Mr. Scott has written ; and if h)s, ware stanning there I'd tell Min So, and then he'd laugh." He was loud in his praises of the affability of Scott. " He'll come here sometimes," said he, " with great folks in his conipany . , and the first I'll know of it is hearing hi s voice Calling out iofindy Johnny Bower when I go but I am sure to be greeted with a joke or t pleasant word. He'll stand and crack an' laugh wi' me just like an auld wife, and to think that of a man that hae such an awfu' knowledge o' history !" One of the ingenious devices in which the worthy little man prided him himself, was to place a visitor opposite to the abbey with his back to it, and bid him bend down and look at it between his legs. This, he said, gave an entirely different aspect to the ruin. Folks admired the plan amazingly; but at to the led dies,' they were dainty in the matter, and contented them selves with looking from under their arms, Saturday information was given at the variotis pelice offices that on Thursday afternoon, between three and few o'clock, a gentleman of fortune, named Deverill, residing in Montague -place, Russell-square, while proceeding alone in his phaeton to Dorking was stopped near the village of Belch worth by two fellows, who springing from behind a gap by the roadside, rushed forward and seized his hoi•se's head. They drew pistols from their pockets, and with a diabolical oath that they would fire on the slightest resistance, proceeded to take from Mr. Deverill his gold watch, with two sovereigns and some silver. The faces of both were so muffled up with hand kerchiefs as to preclude the possibility of their being again known. The perpetrators of this most daring robbery have not yet been discovered, but a strong suspicion attaches to two r.aen who w ere see n on the previous day t o p ass through the village of Belch% or Aberdeen " Berwick Coldstream Cupar 35 to 40 28 32 25 28 43 56 48 58 40 50 40 41 31 36 37 41 SO 56 of the in 26 to 28 18 21 17 18 I 26 31 30 33 24 26 27 ill In 23 23 31' 23 26 Icasure vari, Dundee pgin Inverness I Kelso Kirkaldy Perth pt - • The siz We had a ♦ery rather heavy.

The public mind has had scarcely time to recover from the strong excitation produced by the trial of La Ronciere, when another cause celebre, if possible still more extraordi nary in its details, and more tragical in its result, is about to be pleaded before the Court of Assize at Paris. Ste phen Prosper Bancal, a surgeon of the navy, was brought up for trial, on the charge of having premeditatedly taken away the life of 'Lelia Trosset, the wife of M. Priolland. The following are the circumstances of this extraordinary easy j Prosper Bandttlj god twenty-seven, accompanied his sister, in lag, op a visit to the family of M.

It was in one of ththese ,h actordirig; to the prisoner's statement, that Madame Priolland proposed to hits the horrible pro ject of putting themselves to death, a proposal which, at first, he looked up6ti lig mere badinage, which soon took serious possessionrfiihd. The last moments .passed by Bancal with Madame Priolland were occupied in de vising the manner of their death. Bancal prop osal the vapour of ,buenium charcoal, but this Madame Priolland objected to, as she said she wished to see herself die. It was finally resolved that she should open her veins, and that when she fainted from loss of blood, that he should divide an artery ; but in order to be assured against any chance of failure,.he was to be provided with a sufficient quantity of acetate of morphine. These resolutions were form ed at parting in rebruary, and' they were to meet again on the 14th of March at Poictiers, never again to separate.
