GENERAL OBSERVATION. —The most approved colou e re are scarlet, etherial blue, pink, ember, for leeter-geeen, and Portuguese military blue. Lord LYNDHURST had an interview with Lord ti.noN, at his residence in Hamilton-place, yesterday morning. The intervkw lasted upwards of three hours. The new Cabinet has now entered on the ex eirise tif its functions ; cud it is not difficult to perceive al ready the indications of a vigour as gratifying as the in -3etlsion and imbecility by which the late Administration were marked, wa; deplorable. We have good ikason, how ever, for repeating the conjecture which we hazarded last rveek, that the Duke of WELLINGTON will not remain per. monentiv at the head of the Ministry, and that many months will not pass away, ere we behold Mr. PEI: f.

FOREIGN INTr.LLIGENC,E. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette ck France of Jan. 29.) PARIS, JAN. 2S.—We receive letters from Vienna of the 18th and 19th of Jamtary, which say—" Im mediately after the news of the change in the British Iklinistry had beef; received at Vienna, an English courier brought the ratification, .by the Court of London, of the supplement to the treaty of London, which was concluded on the 21st of December be tween the three Courts of 'France, - Rnssia, and England." The Prince. of Ilesse4 - lomburg is preparing to go to Gallicia. News has been received from the fron tiers of Rutsia, that the Polish army is in full march • towards the southern frontier. It is said that General Wittgenstein has been created Field - Marshal, - and that the army of Bessa rabia has received the name of the Army of Moldavia. The Austrian Oh.serVer gives an article froth Con stantinople of Dec, 27, which develops the measures taken by the Ottoman Porte to e nsure the tranquillity of the capital. After the departure of the three Ambassadors, some of the most considerable mer chants of the three nations were chosen to represent - such of their countrymen as intended to remain here, and continue their business. A list of all these per sons has been made out; and another of the vessels of the three nations now in the port. Great numbers of Agas, or commanders of dis tricts, have lately arrived in the capital, where they are presented to the Grand Vizir and the Ministers, invested with robes of honour, and sent home, after having received instructions. Detachments of re 'gular troops continue to he sent to the fortresses on the Danube, and of artillery to the Dardanelles. The Vice-Admiral Tahir - Paella has been sent thither to superintend the measures of defence, and perhaps to command the ships of war. Great preparations are making in the arsenal. Two 74-gun ships and a 36-gun frigate have just been fitted out at Beschektasch, and several other men of %via' are fitting out with all expedition. CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC, 30.—The convocation of the notables of the empire, which was resolved upon in the month of November, begins to be carried into effect. Despatches daily arrive from the provinces, who present themselves at the gates of the palace. It appears that the Sultan means to take advantage of their counsels. The corn which has been taken by !he Turkish Government from the European mer chants has been paid for in the new coin, which already suffers a considerable depreciation, the effect of which is generally unfavourable. A finnan of the Sultan orders all the Mussulmans, from the age of 19 to 60, to be ready to take up arms. Tahir Pacha has been sent with 20,000 men to the Hellespont. It is affirmed that the army on the Danube :tmounts to 80,000 men. No doubt is entertained of the departure of the Sultan for Adrianople; and the consequences of this resolution are dreaded, be cause it perhaps may not be easy to keep the people in check during his absence. A line of telegraphs, organized by European agents, has been established on the Asiatic coast of the Hellespont, as far as Smyrna. The Sultan seconds all the innovations with great energy, and has not for a moment deviated from his character.

It was generally supposed that Parliament would adjourn to-day, till the election of some, at least, of the Cabinet Ministers should have taken place, but we believe that this will not be the case. The Duke of ARGYLL has resigned the Privy Seal of Scotland, which has been conferred upon the Duke of GORDON. Little seems to occupy public attention to day, and indeed, after the intense anxiety which has been felt for some time respecting the for mation of a Ministry, and the opening of Par liament, people absoluteiy require some breathing time, before fixing attention on any thing new. Parliament, however, that fertile source of dis, cussion both within and out of doors, is now sitting, and though very stormy debates may not take place' for some time, it does n o t a ppear that party spirit is likely Co die away, or that the genius of eloquence will have to complain of the want of occupation, Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Mr. M. A. TAYLOR have already taken the field, by giving notice of MO . . tiOnS ...v.:th which they may be said to be identi • Pied—tlie cause cf Ireland and the Corn Bill will of course come orr in One, time, and the 'Battle o f Nayarit], With the Turkish Treaty, Must appear valuable additions in the eyes of our youthful orators and statesmen. But without these more palpable sources of discussion, many 1 minor ones .will no doubt arise, as soreness on one side, and some feelings of triumph breaking out on the other, are the indispensable consequences of political changes—however much the 'Nfembers of Administration may exert them selves to suppress aggression from their side of ;he House. The Paris Papers of Monday, and the Ga zette de France of Tuesday, contain some further particulars of the preparations making by Turkey in the event of hostilities. The exertion will be of service to the SULTAN by the more complete formation of a new army to supply the place of the Janissaries, but he is not likely at present to have any occasion for the valour of his troops. A spirit of enthusiasm has been communicated to the people which may render them more tractable to the innovations designed by the SULTAN for their improvement. It appears that after the news of the change in the British Cabinet had been received at Vienna, an English messenger brought the ratification of the Supplenzent to the Treaty of London, which was concluded on the 21st December between Russia, England, and France. The existence of such a special treaty is new to us, but it serves to show that the Allied Powers are determined, under any change of Ministry, to watch over the deliverance of Greece. The convocation of a Parliament in Turkey is another proof of the SULTAN'S enterprising, yet prudent character. IT he live ten years more, Turkey will be advanced a century in civiliza tion and knowledge, while her resources will be vastly increased. Prejudice has hitherto ruled the Government of Turkey, and paralysed her strength by creating her natural protectors into petty tyrants—each more eager to advance his own selfish views than the interests of the State. Mutual ambition begat personal hate between rival chiefs—and hence the singularity of a civil war in remote parts of the Empire, that the rapa city of one tyrant knight be satisfied at the ex pence of the other, or rather at the expence of the people who were forced to supply the means to both. But these things are common to TUrkey—and we believe only to Turkey, whose Government is divided into so many refractory rulers, spread over a large extent, and each abso- lute in his own command. A representative assembly would greatly tend to controul these tyrannical chiefs by concentrating the power of the Empire at the seat of Government—which is probably.the object of the SULTAN. The Allge»2eine Zeilung of the 24th inst. contains a long letter from the Oriental Specta tor, upon the affairs of Greece. This document places the situation of Greece in the most de plorable—the most hopeless view. Nothing can indeed be worse. Count CAPO DISTRIA is to be deposed on his arrival—or if tolerated, his power is to he very much circumscribed. The Greek nation is said to be a moving sand, which affords no solid footing. Without resources to carry on the war, and without credit with foreign nations, her cause is pictured in gloomy des pondency. Her chiefs quarrel for supremacy, while ,her people are perishing of hunger. — But our readers shall judge for themselves, re collecting that the article is from a quarter decidedly hostile to the interests of those whom if affects to pity. The Turks would not surely speak well of the Greeks or their cause SMYRNA, DEC. 15. The Oriental Spectator contains the following letter, dated Egina, Dec. 11 : The confusion prevailing in Greece daily increases, with out any prospect of its termization, without will and power in the Government to make any improvement, and with out any power in the people, agitated by various interests of their leaders, to find a fixed point from which it might look forward with some security. EVery one acts for his own account. The Government itself is a coterie which has no greater influence than any other, and knows only its own decisions, while these of the others remain quite unknown to it. Thus Vass() and Griziotis, both famous for their rapa city, lately made a lauding in the Gulf of Volo ; the Greek inhabitants treated_ them as robbers, and joined the Turks in driving them away. The Candiots have left part of the Islands in the Archipelago, where, however, all remains in the same confusion as before ; notwithstanding this Lord Cochrane pretends to govern then, and sends persons to levy contributions. The Government, on its side, orders them not to obey the Admiral. At Tino, Dr. Grosse, his Lordship's agent, has threatened to fire on . the town, unless five hundred talaris were paid him. The Primates were obliged to comply, though this sum was intended for the Ipsariots, who will not fail also to demand it, and care little for the orders of Lord Cochrane. At Scio, the same Doctor, when levying contributions, came in-collision with a schooner belonging to the Government; the victory was on the side of the Doctor, who got some hundred talaris. After going to Santarina, he proceeded to Corfu, there to snake a loan for the Admiral, whose finances are in as bad a condition as his influence. It was intended to call the National Assembly together, and to propose to it to deprive the Admiral of his titles and au thority. This plan, however, did not succeed, and ,things remain as they were. It is said here that the principal Members of the Assembly had expressed an inten tiou considerably to dimiuish the power given by the Constitution to Count Capo d'lstria, the Pre sident, and even to propose his deposition, because his :rival in Greece is so long delayed. The Count, who certainly knows what resources he is likely to find in Greece, will surely not conic without having obtained money and troops ; but the ardour in favour of the Greeks has so much cooled in Europe, and especially in England, which was lutist depended upon for a loan, that money is not to be obtained as it was a few years ago. The piracies have put an end to all interest in the cause, and only M. Eynard, who still refuses to acknowledge it, continues to make some sacrifices, of which, however, he will probably soon be weary. Of General Church we hear nothing, he appears to have vanished , at Corinth ; if he himself is there, his army is not with him, it has been almost entirely dissolved by desertion. Ibrahim Pacha has concentrated his troops near Tripolizza, and left weak garrisons in the fortresses. It is thought he will go to Ilumelia. By this the Morea would became free without the Greeks haVing contributed to it : neve.rtheless they will claim the victory. Meantime the with people are dying manger; every thing in the c ountry is destroyed, and nobody thinks of Cultivating the ground. All the roads are infested by robbers. The proclamatio n of the blockade of the ports of the Morea by Admiral Co drinr;ton increases the distress of the Greeks ; and if the fate of this country should he one day regularly settled, the great e r part of the population will have been swept away by famine and civil war. On the 28th a new Commissioner of the R uss ian fleet arri red at Syra, in the person of M. \Taw s Poulo. About thirty Turks, taken prisoners at Scio, were brought to that island, having been sent to the Government by Colonel Fabvier. The Captain would not support them, and the Commissioners from Scio were told by the local autho rities that they would do nothing for people who belonged to the Colonel, so that iu this dispute the prisoners remained two days without food. All enlightened politicians see the future situation of Greece in a gloomy light, even if it is taken foe granted that Count Capo d'istria pos sesses the greatest talent and immense resources, still the most skilful workman requires materials to work upon, but those who have closely observed the Greek people since the revolution, are convinced that nothing is to he made of them. Every one who has attempted to give it a proper direction has failed in the attempt. We do not find any sufficient eminent intellectual individuals, but every where a discouraging uniformity, so that he who desires to influence the mass, does not know where to ap ply in order to find support. Intrigue is every thing, and men of the best intentions are soon engaged in a labyrinth from which they cannot escape, except by silently with drawing and renouncing all activity. We may quote as an example a seaman, celebrated in the history of the Greek revolution—who was inspired with the most laudable zeal, and in the most favourable situation to perform great services, and to give good advice, so that he might be considered as the sheet-anchor of Greece. He spared neither promises, nor letters, nor per sonal exertions. But what has resulted from all his en deavours. Ile never succeeded in obtaining real influence : he has no party in Greece, not even a coterie to thank him for his intentions and actions. The Greek nation is a moving sand, which affords no solid footing. Count Capo d'lstria now intends to make a trial where many have al ready failed. He is not likely to be more fortunate than his predecessors, unless he takes a different course, and is sensible that he is called to act with much greater vigour. Brussels Papers of the 30th inst. have been received. The Funds at Vienna are said to have risen in consequence of the Duke of WELLING TON being made Premier. An article from Jassy says, that in the event of war with Turkey, the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE will command the Polish army and that of Bessarabia, both of which are concentrating on the frontiers : VIENNA, JAN. 20. Tbe marriage of the Emperor of Brazil with a Sardinian Princess, announced in several Journals, appears to be doubtful. Our funds continue to rise, though slowly. The news that the King of England has entrusted the Duke of Wellington with the formation of a new Ministry, has con tributed to this. Metalliques, 90 1 4; Bank Shares, 1,013 10. BRUSSELS, JAN. 29. A letter from Spa, of the 26th, says—" A disastrous event has just occurred here ; the side of the mountain of Spaloremont, which overlooks Spa on the north side, is burst, and since midnight enormous masses of rock have rolled down, which have already much injured three houses. The noise of these masses in the fall awakened all the in habitants in the middle of the night. The patrol went to the spot, and made all those persons who lived in the neighbourhood remove from their houses. The inhabitants immediately moved their effects to a place of security. No lives have been lost, but the danger is still very great. JASSY, JAN. 10. The Russian Army will gradually be concentrated on the frontiers of the empire. The Polish army approaches that of Bessarabia, and it is reported that in case of war Prince Constantine will command both. Our Authorities are every day more embarrassed how to behave towards the Turks, and cannot be made easy except by the occupation of the principalities by the Russians. They have entirely given themselves up to the Russian influence, without thinking of the consequences that will result if the Porte retains its power in those provinces. It is said that M, Min ziaky is going to remove from Bucharest to this city. A commercial convention, upon principles of liberal reciprocity, between Brazil and the Hanse Towns, has been signed at Rio de Janeiro, and ratified by his Brazilian MAJESTY the 17th of November last. The Hanseatic Plenipoten tiaries, Envoys Extraordinary, M. GILDE MEISTER, Senator of Bremen, and M. SMOCK ING, Syndic of Hamburgh, arrived at Falmouth on board his MAJESTY'S packet Mutine, the 27th of January. The ratifications are to be exchanged at London. - - . Halifax Papers to the 13th instant have been received by his Majesty's ship Alligator, at the North and South American Coffee-house. The following are extracts : FREDERICTONS - N, JAN. I.—Captain Douglas, the Private Secretary of his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, has, we understand, left the seat of Government with de spatches to his Britannic Majesty's Minister at Wash ington. BERMUDA, Sr. GEORGE'S, DEC. 10.--A General Meeting was held this day, for the purpose of taking into consideration the destitute condition of a number of British subjects lately arrived in these islands, on board the British ship, Sir Howard Douglas, Captain Hughes, hound to New York, which vessel put into this port in distress, on Sunday the 2d inst. Arrived the 10th of December, from Portsmouth, his Ma jesty's ships Tyne, Acorn, and Columbine, also his Majesty's ship Coromandel, Wm. Carr, Esq., Master, with Govern ment stores, and 400 convicts, to be employed on the Government works in progress on the island. Under the head of Halifax, the 12th instant, we are happy to learn the small-pox, that desolating and loath -1 some disease, which has swept off so many valuable mem bers of the community, is fast subsiding, both in virulency and in the number attacked. The typhus fever has al most, if not entirely, disappeared ; the valuable discovery of vaccination is particularly recommended to the inha bitants, to prevent future ill effects from the distressing and dangerous disease of the small-pox, and instances are given in these papers of the powerful means of vaccination as a safeguard, to induce a more frequent use of its value, particularly among the co7onists. 3IIRIMICIII, DEC. 25.—Few persons, we believe, can remember a Christmas in Miramichi ushered in with weather so fine and clear as last week has presented ; scarcely any snow has yet fallen, the ice is consequently firm and safe. In the Glasgow Courier of the 29th, we were not a little surprised to find the following pas- sage : " The lucubrations of the London - Journals about the Ministerial changes are endless, and in some of them dis gusting. Amongst the more outrageous of these we notice and select a base attack made by the Sox of Friday (a paper which is supposed to speak the sentiments of the Pre sident of the Board'of Trade) upon Lord Eldon. As to the attack on the SuN, it is quite harmless, and perfectly justifiable on the part of any cotemporary which entertains Opposite sell. timents, (though we deny making a base attack ' on any great man) ; but we must decidedly and unreservedly protest against the insinuation it contains, that the SUN is under the con troul of a Member of the present Administra tion. We wish it to speak the sentiments of, all liberal and enlightened men, but we did not suppose that we should be again c alled on solemnly to assert, as we did some m onths ago, that the Right Honourable Gentleman to whom allusion is made, has no more connexion with this Paper than . w i t h t h e G over nment of China , having nev er contr ib ute d to it, directly or indi rectly, one line or one shilling in the course of his life. It is the sole and absolute property of the registered proprietor, and that individual, humble as he may be, has no desire to share the responsibility w i t h a ny Honourable or Right Honourabl e G en tl e man ill the Kingdom. Extracts from the Agent to Lloyd's at Smyrna, dated 19th December : " His Majesty's ship Raleigh is in port. His 'Majesty's ship Cambrian, and the French ship Trident (Admiral de Rigny), are at Vourla. Other small vessels of War are there or in the Gulf. The Lara, John Dougan, from Usk, and other vessels, for Constantinople and the Black Sea, are either discharging their cargoes here, or waiting fel the present. " CONSTAIiTIN'OPLE, DEC. 27.—Since the 10th inst. there has been no arrivals or departures. The Skylark, for Smyrna, with a valuable cargo of silk on board, has been long detained here for her firman, but it is expected she will sail to-morrow. The Amelia, from Laguayra to London, was spoken with in the Mona Passage by the John and Adams, which sailed from St. Domingo city the 11th December, and ar rived at Baltimore on the 29th. Me Charles Tennison, from Linierick to London, having discharged part of her cargo to repair, sold what was necessary to pay her expenses, and will consequently be obliged to fill up with fresh parcels of oats. We learn from Vera Cruz, of the 4th of Dec., that Commodore PORTER has just given notice that he has Letters of Marque ready for delivery to such as are desirous of fitting out privateers against the Spanish flag. De has also published a notice, dated on board the Libertad frigate, 16th ult., declaring that, conformably to the laws, every vessel, on board of which property belong ing to the enemy should be found, would be sent to Vera Cruz for adjudication, and that the same measure was also applicable to vessels carrying warlike stores.

An unusual number of pheasants were bagged by the Hon. Baronet and his distinguished guests.—Breqhtou Gazette. ARRIVAL.--Mr. and Mrs. LITTLETON, at their house in Grosvenor-place, from their seat, Teddesley, Staffordshire. The senior wrangler at the last Cambridge examination, was Mr. Cfl A R LES PERRY, son' of the late Mr. PERI:A - , of Blackwall, and not of the late Proprietor of the Morning Chronicle.—Morning Paper. The Hon. C. C. C. JENKINSON has for some time past been making alterations and improvements on a most extensive scale, at his seat, Busted Park, which will render it, when completed, one of the finest mansions in this county. As many as two hundred men have been frequently employed, and the works have been in progress nearly two years, affording occupation and subsistence to numbers of poor men, who would otherwise in all probabi lity have been destitute of both. The architect, under whose direction these improvements are placed, is Mr. YA TTVILL E. —Brighton Gazette. LEAVES.—AImost the only topic of conversa tion in this borough is the political changes of the country, together with the expected changes in the political inte rests of Lewes, and the report of Sir Jolts SHELLEY being raised to the Peerage. Meetings, canvassing, and can didates are enumerated without end : but on those ru mours we cannot place the slightest con fidence.—Brighton Gazette. In the constitution of the present Admini stration there is one feature possessing a singularity which has not hitherto been noticed. It is that by far the most influential portion of its Members have commenced their political career in Ireland, as Chief Secretaries of that country. His Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON filled that office in 1805 or 1800, when only the Honourable ARTHUR WELLESLEY ; so did the present Home Secretary, under the late Duke of Ricirsrowo, as Lord Lieutenant; the President of the Board of Trade, under the Earl of TAL BOT ; and the present Chancellor of the Exchequer, under the Marquis WELIESLEY.—Morning Paper. DUBLIN CATIIOLIC ASSOCIATION.-- (EIGHTH DAY.)—At this Meeting Mr. O'CorrNaLL pro-- posed that a form of prayer be publicly- promulgated among the Catholics, imploring the Divine interposition to " soften the hearts and direct the judgments of the English Rulers, towards the afflicted people of Ireland." Lord KILLEEN proposed also a vote of thanks to Lord ROSSMORE for his late speech, as well as for his good feeling towards the Catholics. The introduction of a certain naval officer to his present MAJESTY (at the time Prince of WALES), and their present intimacy, o riginated in the following whimsi cal circumstance : —llia Royal Highness was disputing with a Gentleman on the subject of naval tactics, and finally agreed to refer the decision to the son of ISTErruNx, who was in an adjoining room. A note was despatched by the Gentlemen, requesting the officer's opinion, and con cluded with this inaccuracy of spelling :—" You must be a very competent judge, being bread to the sea. This was the neat and sarcastical reply I never was bread to tile sea, hot the sea was bread to toe, and very bad bread it was."—Brighton Gazette. CHANGE OF AIR.—An old gentleman, who wore a wig, was telling another that his physician had ad vised a change of air. " Truly," said the other, "I a m of the same opinion, for the wig you have on is scarcely fit to be seen." The fashi ona bl e watering-place of Sidmouth is unusually full this winter; and the promenade is daily crowded by rank and beauty. The late boisterous wea ther has not done the least damage.—Exeter Alfred. The bodies of the unfortunate men who were drowned in the Thames Tunnel have been found ; but in such a state of decay, as to render identification a lmost impossible. A HAUNTED liousr.—N o little consterna tion has been produced in the neighbourhood o f Clarence place, by a r eport that the house of Mr. B. Noon is haunt ed. For the last week the hells have rung, we believe d a ily, at stated hours, namely, five, one, and eight o'clock, with the exception of one evening - when they were tied up l,v Mr. Woon. The evil spirit then however avenged himself, by causing some ham and bacon in the kitchen to skip about in a most marvellous m anner ; and on Tuesday the kitchen jack of its own accord flew suddenly to pioces. No clue has yet been found to u nravel the mystery ; but strong suspicions are, we understand, entertained that some neighbours are in the p10t..--Briphton Gazette. SITIPPTNN INTELLIGENCr-MITS DAY.)

V. long. 32. saw a great quantity of wreck stauncheons, several bales of cotton, and water cask, and either the bottom of a vessel, or a very large boat upset. COWES, JAN. 30.—The Ann, Creak, from St. Michael's to Newcastle, which put in here on the 16th inst. leaky, was docked this morning. A boat, marked " St. Iris," was picked up on the 24th inst. off St. Alban's. BELFAST, JAS. 28.—The Camel, from Larne to Liverpool, was burnt to the water's edge on Saturday. The Thomas Bouch, from Liverpool to Mobile , was driven on shore near Larne Lough, on SundaY morning, and was nearly full of water. We hear from good authority that the Earl of LIVERFSOL remains in nearly the same melancholy state , almost totally unconscious of what is passing around him. —Brighton Gazette. A petition to Parliament is in t h e course of being signed by the U n it a ria n s of this town, p ra yi n g for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. It has already many signatures attached to it.—Brighton Gazette. The Hon. Captain BERKELEY, and a select party of friends, have enjoyed good shooting in the Bosteon Covers. In two days, upwards of 500 shots were obtain ed, by five guns.—Brighton Gazette. We are sincerely gratified to state that Mr. Justice BuwroN took his seat on the Bench, this day, sai d appeared to be quite re-established in his health.—Dublis Evening Mail. t A good deal of noise, or as it is commonly called .sensation, has been made here by the following cir cumstance. A gentleman of splendid dress and appearance, arrived at Brighton a week or two ago, and took up his abode at one of the principal hotels, dining at a boarding house. At the latter place he became acquainted with 3 family residing there, to the members of which he was re markably attentive, and in whose favour he contrived to ingratiate himself most successfully. Unfortunately, how ever, a French Count, who has resided much at Brighton , saw the gentleman, and immediately recognizing him as an old acquaintance whom lie had met at (we believe) Chel tenham or Bath, denounced him as a swindler to his neW friends, and also arrested him. So deeply, however, had he ingratiated himself in their favour, that the latter actually became bail for him to the amount of upwards of 601., and have since paid the money. The " gentleman," we need scarcely add, has subsequently left the town._Brighton Gazette. GLOUCESTERSHIRE CONSTITUTIONALWHIG Crafe.—The Annual Meeting of this Club took place on Thursday last at Gloucester, where a numerous and highly respectable party assembled on the occasion ; Captain M. F. F. BERKELEY, R.N. in the chair. In the course of the evening, Colonel BERKELEY took occasion to ex , press the deep regret he felt at the dissolution of the late Ministry. Of the present, he added, it was not - as yet fair to say any thing. The Corporation of this borough, have deter , mined immediately to carry into effect the powers of a late Act of Parliament for improving the Haven. The plan proposed is on an extensive scale, and for its eonipletion 20,0001. have been borrowed of the Government. Boston Gazette. MURDER IN FRANCE.—A wine-merchant in the Commune of St. Olsen, named Ftworr, an old sol dier, wearing the Order of Merit, was returning last Tues day from Paris, where he Lad received 500 francs as A loan from a cook of M. TERNAUX. Having spent some time drinking in an inn at Clignancourt, and finding bins' self overcome, they endeavoured to prevail on him to pas , the night there, but as he insisted on going Imme, the landlord offered the waiter of the inn to conduct hint I thither. They went out together accordingly, the waiter 1 carrying a lanthorn, and the soldier his bag, which the former had not failed to notice. Next morning the get' darmerie making their rounds, found in the cross road 1 leading from Clignancourt to St. Ouen, the body of 0 1 man, who had been murdered. Very speedily the report I spread to St. Olean, and the deceased was recognised by his wife, who was uneasy because of his absence, and as it was known that he had spent the evening before at an ilia in Clignancourt, and that he left the house with the waiter, the latter, who had not made his appearance, wa suspected as the auther of the crime.

SAMUEL NICHOLRON, merchant of Rawcliffe, in this county. To describe, in detail, tist whole train of allegorical emblems with which this c uria' sity is embellished, would trespass too far on our column`" but from the following short account, some idea m O l be derived of the pains taken by the French artists erg' ployed in ge tti ng up t h e art i c l e t o grat if y the fancy of the chosen Lord. Ou the butt- end of the stock of this plea' on each side of the shoulder-plate, which is silver, are gruel' of finely carved emblems. Among these is the city of PA' ris, represented by a small armorial design, supported i° the, mouths of two swans natant, by which allegorical re; presentations its seat at the junction of the two rivers, Seil i j and Marne, is indicated. Civil and military insignia, O f emblematic symbols of commerce and the arts, are jo°,' ciously thrown into the natio na l d ev i ce w i t h w hi c h t h e bat' end of the stock is ornamented ; and the shoulder-pie'' itself is richly cha se d w i t h designs corresponding w i th t' carved work round it. The point of the lower branch ° the guard rests on the head of a demon, carved on the O der side of th e stock; from which h ea d are issuing ariPer, and othe r b aneful reptiles, c h ase d or em b ossed upon s' branch of the guard below the bow, which is silver; apparently denoting the generation of evils, ebnoxiO, to civil society; these are followed by Discord, .iod' ) cated by two flaming torches crosswise, beneath th e he; of a Gorgon, all chased in a masterly manner on the hra bow of the guard. On the upper branch of the guard • presented a grou p of pacific emblems, surmounte d bY, t, royal eagle, indicating probably the restoration of mag e , of civil war ; terial authority in the Co n sular power, after the calansitm_ of allegory for it is obvious that th e w h o l e o f t hi s ttsf a pplies to the history of F rance d ur i ng t h e e; ter prising peri od and dynasty of BuosrayservrE. From t en branch of the guard the design is continued by admix ture of civil and military embl ems , terminating, If the tip of the half - stock, which is mount e d w i t h a sii` c : I ,i„, to receive the !am-rod.
