The Court. Directory includes the names of twenty-five thousand persont not engaged in trade, and takes a wider range than any other work of the kind. The information respecting the Post-office will he found eminently useful to persons of every description; and among other additions made to it for this year is one of great impor tance, showing the time at which a letter from London should be de ivered at any place in England,or Wales, and the time at which the let ter-box for London cleses in each place, The facilities afforded by the Postmaster-General give the compilers advan tages which could not otherwise be obtained. • The informa • tion is furnished from the Post-offic e gratuitously, it is of the latest possible date, and has been all collected or confirmed within the last two months.

" DEA R SIR-My prejudices being somewhat strong, 1 could not prevail upon myself to try your Holland's Balsam of Spruce,' until accidentally hearing of a wonderful cure being effected upon a friend of mine by its use, I was induced to over come my scruples and give it a trial ; and upon using it, I have the pleasing satisfaction of stating, for the information of others, who, like myself, may be labouring under the cruel affliction of confirmed asthma, that I have experienced so much benefit as to truly say I have not been so easy for many a long and weary year ; and am convinced that, in all cases similar, your Balsam of Spruce will be, as it shall be with me, a constant companion and bosom friend. " I have not attempted to describe any sufferings ; they are too well known and felt by all asthmatic persons to neod de scribing; but earnestly hoping that others may be induced to make the experiment, and obtain the same gratifying result, and that you may be rewarded for your ingenuity in discover ing so valuable a medicine, I remain, Sir, yours gratefully, " THOS.

" The plaintiff's publication was one of considerable bulk, and most probably of great utility : and so the Vice-Chan cellor of England must have thought by granting the injunc tion ex parte, and continuing that proceeding upon motion made to dissolve it." Vide " Times" of 20th December, 18.11.—Judgment of his Honour Vice Chancellor Knight Bruce, confirming the Injunc-• tion obtained against the " Post-Office Almanac," for pirating ' Post-Office Directory." The following Reviews of the Complete Directory have al ready appeared.:— Times, December 3, 1841. This useful matter-of-fact volume has just been published by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar, and will no doubt be, as it ought to be, in the hands of every merchant, banker, and tradesman in the country. It is, independently of its utility, by which it is rendered indis pensable to every counting-house and shop, a curious sta tistical monument of the extent, importance, trade, and wealth of the metropolis, and as such a document deserving the attention even of persons who are not immediately in terested in commercial and business pursuits. The present volume for 1842 contains some important new matter, with which the preceding volumes were not furnished—it has an im portant addition, " The official Directory," an alphabetical list of all persons holding situations under the Crown, of all persons holding situations in the East India House, in the Bank of England, and in the various law, city offices, and all other public offices. This addition is of itself enough to show the great pains taken by the Proprietors to render the book perfect. There is also some useful information given relative to the " Money Order-office," to which, if the public would pay more attention than they have hitherto dote less would be heard of the loss of money by the transmission of , remittances by post in the manner usually adopted. The number of stamps issued to the various newspapers published throughout England and Wales is given, together with the amount of stamp duties on advertisements paid by each paper respectively, and, indeed a mass of information is brought together from which the best informed may derive some increase of knowledge, and to which the attention of the most ignorant and careless can hardly be called in vain. As far as the cursory examination can justify an opinion, and it is next to impossible to pay to such a work as this the minute attention it deserves, it appears to be compiled with indefatigable industry, extreme vigilance, and an excellent judgment for arrangement. Morning Chronicle, December 21, 1841. Wehave had occasion to commend the extraordinary diligence and accuracy shown in getting up the " Post-office Directory" for former years, and no less praise is due to the publication of the present volume. It contains the same immense mass of information relative to the metropolis, which, renders the work one of the most astoni s hi ng monuments of the greatness of London that can well be conceived. This informaton appears classified, distributed and arranged in a variety of ways so as to make the facility of reference nearly perfect. The corrections necessary from the changes of a year appear, as far as it is possible to judge, to have been carefully made, and it would be difficult to over-estimate the labour involved in such corrections. We recommend it to the favourable consi deration of the public ; and, in fact, it must be regarded as indis pensable in every house or office where business is trans acted. To those, if there he any, who have not seen it, it will convey the best notion of the variety of its contents to say, that the single volume of 1,500 pages contains a Streets' Directory —Trades' Directory —Law Directory—City—Parliamentary— Courts—Postage —Banking.—and Official and Conveyance Directories—each a large work, and complete in itself ; though the whole are requisite to a publication which professes to be a Directory for London. Morning Herald, Nov. 30, 1841. This is a most complete and extremely useful work. It em braces every point of interest in and near the metropolis that can affect the wants of the community at large, and is service able to all classes of society. Under one general head, it con tains a series of Directories, in which are enumerated all the trades, streets, names, official designations, Parliamentary, legal, banking, and Post-office references, that are in daily re ty e u nd ng over is i i ono;arso and, p hil a e g i e) it is is s f a t c h c e u n r s a o t s e t in am the dimensionspleminuteminutest part u irt ce e x- . lars. No public office or mercantile house should, in fact, be without it. Morning Post, December 29, 1841. The charge, whether true or false, brought against the " Annuals," that, however pretty they may be, they are of little or ne use, cannot in any degree apply to this singular publication. Within the single volume, neatly brought out by Messrs Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar, is comprised all the information that can be useful ti) the fashionable, legal, or commercial communities. "It in cludes a 44 Court Directory," which alone contains about five and-twenty thousand names; a " Law Directory" of the most ample description, giving, among other details, no fewer than sixteen large pages of a " General List of Stamps ;" an Official Directory,' with an index of six thousand persons holding situations under the Crown, in the Bank, the East India House, and other public departments ; the " Commer cial Directory," perhaps the fullest and most complete that has ever yet appeared, and a variety of miscellaneous matter which it is impossible to particularise here. In short, from our own observation, we can safely pronounce this work a sine qua non to everybody who desires to become acquainted with the great metropolitan world of London. Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, Dec. 22, 1841. On our reference from time to time to the Post-office Direc tory of 1841, we felt convinced that nothing could have been produced more perfect for the purposes for which the huge compilation was designed ; it appears, however, we were mis taken. The thick volume before us is vastly superior to the last, and is unquestionably " the most complete work of the kind ever published ;" the information is so judiciously classi fied, that although it extends over some fifteen hundred large closely printed pages, every department of the compilation might be consulted in a few seconds. It is surprising how such a mass of intelligence can have beed collected and ar ranged so accurately, expeditiously, and cheaply, neither o f w hich could of course be accomplished witho u t the extensive and peculiar resources of the General Post-office. No count ing-house, coffee-room, or public office, should be without this excellent record. Sun, November 25, 1841. We have great pleasure in noticing this useful work, of which we have received an early copy. It exceeds the size of the Directory of last year, arid probably is the most complete and correct town-guide yet published. The following outline of the contents will enable the reader to form some idea of the vast undertaking. It contains an Official Directory, with the names alphabetically arranged, of all civil officers under Go yernrne4t, 111 !tie Bank of England, East Indi a H ouse, and all other public establishments. A Street Direelory;'whicli eludes gentry as well as traders; and subjoined to this, are two others, giving the names at full length, of sixty thousand per- Weekly Dispatch, Nov. 28, 1841. We have been favoured with a sight of this elaborate work ; and we must pronounce it vastly superior to the previous vo lumes. The contents are admirably arranged. There is a dis tinct alphabetical list of the names, in number, of all civil officers under Government, in the Bank of England, East India House, and all other public establishments ; an alphabetical list of streets in the metropolis and its vicinity, the inhabit ants according to their numerical order in each street ; the only Street Directory yet published which includes Wary as well as traders. There is also a list of all officers, from iheiord Chan cellor down to the Usher of the moat inferioi Court; Police Courts, with their officers and jurisdictions ; alioßk.;eticill lists of Queen's Serjeants, Queen's Counsel, Sergeants af low, Benchers, Barristers, Special Pleaders, Conveyancers,' Proct ors, Attorneys, Notaries. &c. The names of all persons in the metropolis and its immediate vicinity not engaged trade, are given with the most accurate lists yet published of the New Parliament, and the most rec, nt addresses of the Members of both Houses. There are, besides, the name and addresses of City Officers and Common Councilmen; City Companies and their clerks ; lists of sworn brokers; Lieutenancy of the City, &c. A list is given of all the principal places in England, Ireland, and Scot land, distinguishing those which grant and pay money orders, and eferring to the money order office nearest to those which do not; and an alphabetical list of the streets of London, with a reference from each to the nearest receiving -house which grants and pays money-orders. This will afford the opportunity in all cases, in town and country, of applying to the nearest office for a money-order, and of obtaining it upon the office most contiguous to the residence of the party in whose favour it is drawn. Another important introduction this year shows the time at which a letter from London should be delivered at any place in England or Wales, and the time at which the letter-box for London closes in each place; thus affording the opportunity of calculating in all cases the " return of post." Independent of all this informa tion, we have copious accounts of all conveyances by railways, stage-coaches, waggons, vans, carts, vessels, barges, and boats ; with complete accounts of all the bankers, joint-stock banks, and banking establishments of the United Kingdom ; the names of the Directors and officers of the various Assurance Companies, with the rates of Assurary_!e, &e., a re a l so f urn i shed in ample detail. One great feature in this work is, that it directs an individual to the position of any number in the street, by noting the intersection of churches, courts, streets, lanes, alleys, &e., between one house and another. It often happens that a person may forget the name of the tradesman he wants, although he knows the street. The Street Direc tory in this book helps him out of this difficulty by giving the names of the inhabitants of each house of No. 1 upwards. Sunday Times, December 5, 1841. This useful work is just published ; it is, in short, a com mercial, trades, law, court, parliamentary, city, postage, con veyance, banking, and an official Directory. It contains an almanack, list of stamp duties, Post-office rules, and, in fact, a body of intelligence too great for detail. Respecting :the accuracy of such a work, it is, of course, impossible to speak ; the most inveterate Magliabechi that ever gulped quartos, or bolted folios, would scarcely undertake the perusal of a Direc tory. It is not saying too much to declare that the Post-office Directory is a work unexampled even in this country. To ap proximate closely to the communication ( f the names, resi dences, and trades of the inhabitants of London, is a task from which a literary Hercules might flinch. Railway Magazine, December 4, 1841. Judging from the great superiority of the last edition of this work over its competitors, we did not anticipate the improve ments which have been effeeted in the present, which not only place this Directory at the head of the list, but must drive the others out of the field. An entirely new division has been introduced, viz., the " Official Dir-ectory,"WhiCli Fu7nislies . the full names and positions of all persons holding public situations under Government, the East India Company, the Bank, &c. The scope of that important branch, the " Street Directory," has been very considerably extended ; and thou sands are now included, who re'ide without the narrow limits beyond which our books of reference have not before passed : here we have a register of all, whether dwelling in Barns bury Park, Basinghall-street, or Belgrave-square, in King's road, Chelsea, or in Kingsland ; and one of the great advan tages peculiar to this publication is, that all inhabitants are inserted in their nu ~erical order. Wt. know of no other street list in which either all the gentry, or all the mer chants, traders, and tradesmen are not—incredible as the fact may appear—entirely omitted. We may mention that it gives the names of the Directors of most of the Railway and Insurance Companies, and a complete List of Officers of Joint- Stock Companies. The " Parliamentary Directory" is co pious ; in it the offices held by every Peer and Commoner are accurately detailed, even to the recent appointment of Lord Ellenborough as Governor-General of India, and of his sue cessor at the India Board, Lord Fitzgerald. The " Postage Directory " furnishes much original and highly valuable in formation in reference to Money Orders, and to the precise time of the deliveries of letters throughout the country. A volume so valuable as this will be generally appreciated. It does honour to the establishment which can put forth so vast an amount of authentic information of character so diversified ; and it reflests credit on those who have so arranged it that the work is equally a model of compilation and of typography. We cannot but think that a title more appropriate than merely " Post-office London Directory "might surely merits a name that wou l d convey. a definite idea of in formation so vast and varied, un i t i ng as it does, in one volume, ,i ch i o . The wor . k Directory, Court Guide, and CourrKalendar, and superseding the whole class of similar publi cat i ons. Britannia, November 27 be st chosen The old proverb says, it is good to let well alone; but, we see no possible reason why well should be left to stand still, so long as better is clearly attainable ; and such appears to be the opinion of the enterprising proprietors of the " Post-office Lon don Directory." The present edition is superior in many re spects, to any of its predecessors. On its first appearance, it was a neat and correct p o cket -volume—nothing more; but it has gone on im - proving and augmenting from year to year, till, by the mere force of its manifest superiority, it has fairly beaten every competitor out of the held, and become, from the variety, copiousness, and accuracy of its information, an indispensable requisite to every count ing-house and shop in the metropolis and its suburbs. It would be quite impossible, in a brief notice, to give anything like an adequate idea of the contents of a closely-printed royal octavo volume, running to upwards of 1,500 pages. It can only be justly described as a series of Directories, each one complete in itself, and each of peculiar value to every per son engaged in business. For instance, is the residence of any particular person required, a reference to the " Commer cial' or " Court Directory" will at once give the desired in formation. If a complete list of all persons engaged- in any one of the vas ions profession s or trades exercised in the me tropolis is sought, turn to the " Trades' Directory," and you have, ready to your hand, arranged in alphabetical order, and with the residence attached, a return of every ac countant, apothecary, artist, Sac., &c., within the limits of the bills of mortality. It is the same w i th every ot h er depart ment of the work. We have never seen any volume containing so much matter, so well divided, and clearly arranged. The intimate connexion of the Proprietor with the Post-office en sured him the most accurate information ; and his printers' extensive printing-office and steam-presses enabled him to issue his sheets with surprising rapidity ; so that every change is made up almost to the day of publication. The whole book is worthy of the mighty city it anatomises ; the most correct, as well as the most useful, record of its industry, its vastness, and its intelligence; and, if we keep in mind the enterprise ncces. sary for the conception of such a work, the immense care re quired in its preparation, the enormous capital required to pro duce it, and, considering its bulk and variety, the surprisingly low price at which it is issued, we must pronounce it, notwith standing the typographical wonders daily issued from the press, the most surprising volume to which the first city in the world has yet given birth. John Bull, NoveriNber 27, 1841. Again we have to bestow our praise on the completeness and cheapness of the multifarious information comprised in the " Post-office London Directory," which comprehends within one moderately sized volume, of clear and easy reference, a Commercial, Trades', Law, Court, and Parliamentary Direc tory. It is at once the fullest volume of the kind, the most ex act, has the most recent intelligence—the information it of itself.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of SIP doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will •here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

On arriving within a few yards of the turnpike-gate, the coachman turned the car riage round, and the horses were soon on their return to York. This was too much for the Argus-eyed toll-col, lector, who was watching the approach of the not carviage, P as he thought, of a customer. Th Alic ia] bear to see himself thus i gO l'arly done 'he set ou t on the hue and etty, On coming u p with the driver, the barman made his demand in form, and the squabble made the Learned Baron inquire why the carriage was stop ping, just as the coachman was about to tin the ;ilYeft On being informed that it was a cleNaud C* toll, the Baron required the gate : keep er . • to produce the Act of Parliam„e;it Which m epowered him to c o ll ect to ll s.

The man immediately went back to his cottt ley She road-side, and the worthy Judge vetwAeci to York.— York Courant, .LECTURES ON AMERICA AND THE AMERICANS. (From the Exeter Flying Post.) Mr. Buckingham's courses of lectures in this city, descriptive of a voyage along the shores of the Medi terranean Sea, on Palestine, and America, are now concluded, and that gentleman has taken his leave of ns, but we hope only for the present, since no one, we think, who has attended the Athenaeum during the de livery of these can fail to be impressed with a convic tion of the superiority of talent he possesses, and that he is eminently calculated to smooth down the aspen-- ties of our nature—to root out prejudice—and to do good. With Mr. Buckingham the religious sentiment is con nected with the most valuable truths. lie intertwines our best affections with the noblest acquisitions and highest aspirations of the human mind, and hence his lectures confer an amount of olpenefit on his fellow creatures, such as it is not easy fully to estimate. Indeed the course he is pursuing —and we trust for the sake of all will yet many years be permitted to pursue—will do more to promote the social and individual well-being of man than is likely to be done in any other way. In all that he says—be the subject what it may—he never fails to show us that though religion has been perverted and abused—turned from its best purpose, and sometimes di rected to its worst end—yet that religion itself, in its truth and essence, is one of the necessities of our nature. Of the two first courses we spoke at the time, as far-as our limited space would admit, and last week briefly introduced to our readers the first lecture of the course on America. This was continued on successive evenings before the most respectable audiences, and brought to a close, amidst the plaudits of his instructed and delighted hearers, on Saturday. To follow this singularly gifted man in detail through these—though most pleasant in itself—would be travelling beyond the province of a newspaper, but we must be allowed to say of a country in which no Englishman can fail to take great interest. that Mr. Buckingham gave proofs of prosperity and future greatness in the revenue and population of the United States, such as few indeed of the older countries can pro duce. That the Americans are proud of these can excite no wonder, since in them is not only the promise of happi ness and power, but also of that full degree of freedom with which they will be accompanied. In that country, n deed, has been solved that great political problem— namely, the possibility of liberty to so great an extent being compatible with union andorder. Mr. Buckingham, with the greatest candour, sought not to conceal defects, but he reminded his hearers that America is as yet but young. Ile admitted that at present there is a counter balance to the sum of liberty, but he also showed that this is neither likely to read to disunion nor dis organization ; indeed, so far otherwise, that there is even in these the promise of future exultation. In speak ing on this head, he remarked that it had been charged on the Federation that it is fraught with the prin ciple of disunion ; and far was he from affecting to deny it. But he contended that this is no reproach to a republic, the greatest bond of union probably in which consists in the very looseness of it, and in the li berty enjoyed locally by each State. lie also remarked that it had been alleged that in America religion is not permitted to occupy its proper place. It had been charged upon that country that it has no established church ; that no state provision is there made for eccle siastics. And this was very true, since in America there is a perfect liberty of opinion, leaving flock and pastor to choose each other mutually, and to take the path upon which both may agree. This, however, was only an other phenomenon, and the evidence of his own eyes and senses had taught him that so far from there being any danger that religion will perish there, and general immorality ensue, there is no country on earth in which religion is more thought of and carefully cared for, or in which the religious feeling more strongly abounds. On the great question of the holding of slaves, which exists in the Southern States, Mr. Buckingham admitted that it is the cause of party as well as territorial division, but he is not among those who believe the integrity of the Union to be menaced by it. It is undoubtedly the greatest blemish, as also the most menacing source of future evil to a free country, but the question having now put on this com plexion even with the slave-holders themselves, that while fancied ideas about self-preservation are placed in one scale, justice is allowed to seat itself in the other, he thinks that by and by it will be settled on con ditions alike philanthropic and honourable. On the sub ject of the treatment of these our unfortunate fellow beings, his observations must have gone far to disabuse the minds of his hearers. In fine, with an accurate and discerning mind, and in a spirit of candour honourable to humanity, he showed, that though not destitute of im perfections and blemishes, yet that in a vast territory bounded by the Mississippi on the one hand, and the St. Lawrence on the other, all the purposes of human asso ciation hare, up to this time, been effectually accoMplished, and at a cost that contrasts strongly with the expendi ture of the older European Powers. FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. A few days ago, a young man of Briey, in the Mo selle, was informed that a wolf had made his appear ance in the neighbourhood of the village. He immedi ately loaded his gun with ball, and went in search of the animal. It was towards nightfall, and seeing some thing move among the bushes in a likely spot for the Ivolt7 he fired. The ball .took effect in the body of his own father, who happened to be at that very spot,- set ting a trap for a fox, and his life is said to be in im mediate danger. Mme. de Puymontant was, a few days ago, burnt to death at the chateau of her husband, near Cintegabelle, in the Haute Garonne, by her dress having caught fire from her approaching too near the hearth. She was alone when the horrible accident happened, and it was not discovered till she had become a corpse. The Toulouse papers state that all the Spaniards who stopped the Bordeaux mail, a few days since, have been arrested. They prove to be part of the men employed on the works of the canal near the former place. On Friday last, a young woman genteelly dressed ap plied to the keeper of the Tower of the Cathedral, at Rouen, for permission to go up. Observing that she was much agitated, the man determined to watch her, and twice saved her from effecting an attempt to throw her self over the battlements. He induced her to return into the nave of the Cathedral, where she sunk on her knees in great distress. The keeper sent for a commissary of police, and being interrogated by him and the Procureur du Roi ' she confessed th a t s h e came f rom P ar i s ; th at having been promised marriage by a young man to whom she was warmly attached, and learning that he had mar ried another, despair had driven her to a resolution to destroy herself. The kind remonstrances of the Magis trate induced her to make them a solemn promise that she would relinquish her intention. The Journal Iu Loiret relates that, Serein, the mur derer of the two children near Orleans, made, a few hours before his execution, confessions to several persons which put an end to all doubt as to the fate of his vic!-- tims. He acknowledged that he was the murderer of his own nice, eight years ago, on the very day on which sh e received her first communion, and who was found on the following day strangled in a field. He is also said to have admitted that he carried off a little girl from a fau hourg of Orlean s some years ago and, after having vio lated her person, threw her at midnight over the bridge at Orleans into the Loire, His body has been dissected. The hinder portion of the brain said by phrenologists to indicate the animal passions, is said to be unusually large. The Hermime states that the brig Ceres has been sunk, by striking on a rock at St. Nizaire. She was laden with sugar, part of which was saved, but the loss is esti mated at 600,000 f. A sailor who was asleep in his cabin was drowned, Of sixty-nine fires in the,departrnent of the Aisne, lir 1841 (says the Quotidienne) t forty-sevenrare said• to have been the work of incendiaries,, but only seven persons have been brought to trial on a charge of arson, of whom 'six were condemned, and one acquitted. M. Duval, an inhabitant of Gancourt, in the Seine- Inferieure, a few days ago committed suicide, after hav ing murdered his wife, lie was nearly sixty years of age, enjoyed a fortune sufficient to place him at his ease, was without children, and was believed to live happily with his wife, who was about fifty. His friends are lost in conjecture as to the cause of the catastrophe. The captain of a merchant vessel, recently arrived at Havre from Port au Prince, reports that he fell in with three schooners, believed to be pirates, off St. Domingo, on the 15th ult. They sailed round his ship, and ap peared inclined to stop her, but ultimately they made off. The Toulonnais states that, from the Ist of the next month, there will he a mail for Algeria six times per month, viz. the 10th, 20th, and 30th of each month from Toulon, and the sth, 15th, and 25th from Marseilles. There will also be six arrivals monthly, but the days of departure from Algeria are not stated. One, of those perambulating dealers who infest the public places with their stalls, selling trinkets of base metal and false stones, which they pretend are gold and jewels, and on which they put an imitation of the Go vernment stamp, was arrested two days ago kt his lodgings in the Hue Notre Dame de Nazareth, and a con siderable quantity of these articles, with the tools and materials for manufacturing them, were seized: A few days ago a porson named Chamblin, who re sided at Corbeil, mid who was formerly a sergeant in the 60th regiment of the line, was found murdered in hi s honae, with a carving knife, which had been used by the murderer, lying by the side of the body. It appears that the neighbours had been disturbed by a noise in the house of Chamblin, at about one o'clock in 'the morning, and from the appearance of the place, a severe struggle had taken place between the murderer and his victim, who was generally supposed to be in possession of a con , siderable surf of money. Suspicion has fallen upon a person Allq had been seen to call on Chamblin, belt who W4S a stranger to the place. The ordinary tranquillity of the Faitbourg St. Ger main was disturbed three days ago by a violent conflict between two classes of journeymen carpenters, called Compagnons and G avo t s , w h o, after beginning their quarrel at the Barriere de Mont Parnasse, came to biowa in the Rues de Vaugirard and Notre Dame des Champs. They mustered about 60 combatants, and could not be separated until a party of 20 soldiers and a squadron of Municipal Canards oame and seized the ring leaders and cli the rest. There were many wounded, but all except two were carried off by their ftienda, Yesterday morning, a family at La Villette dismissed their female servant for getting drunk and being inso lent ; and, in order that they might be immediately quit MORNING SUN. of her, paid a week's wages in advance. The womaa however, declared that she would remain in the house twenty-four hours more in spite of every body, and went up stairs. After remaining two hours, some of the fa mily went up to urge her departure,. and found her dead, having hung herself in a esirret. The lndependant of Brussels says that the owner of the Hotel des Bains, at Ostend, has had the unconscion able impudence to charge the King of Prussia for stop ping .one night, and breakfasti ng , with his suite of twenty persons, in that house; five thousand francs. It adds; that the King could not, of course, stoop to bar gain about the matter, and therefore submitted to the extortion. Two men, the evening before last, quarrelled over their liquor in a wine-shop, near the Place des VictoireS, and went out into the Place to fight. The combat was extremely ferocious, and the by-standers endeavoured in vain to separate them. At length the weakest of the two, finding he was likely to be overcome, took a pistol from his pocket, and find it at his adversary. Fortu nately the ball only grazed his clothes ; but after pass ing through the apron of a grocer's man, one of the spec tator's, it wounded a third person beyond him in the hand. The report attracted the men on duty at the guard-house of the Bank, who came and took l both the antagonists into custody. A murder, attended with atrocious circumstances, was committed a short time ago at Ajaccio, in Corsica. A violent hatred had for some time existed between the Vignali and Canacci families, of which latter one of it.* members had been b roug ht b e f ore t h e C ourt of Assize, on a charge of having been concerned in the murder Of the Abbe Vignali, chaplain of Napoleon at St:Helena, but acquitted. All open hostility between the two fami lies had ceased ; but one evening as the Canacci family were quietly seated near the fire, two of the Vignalis entered, and fired at them. The Canaceis attempted to defend themselves, and a desp era t e s t rugg l e too k place with poniards on both sides, which ended in the expul sion of the assailants, one of whom was severely wounded. Before they were expelled, however, the daughter of the chief of the Canacci family, had been killed by a musket ball, and two of her brothers were much wounded. The murderers had fled, but the police were in active search for them. " A vessel from Madagascar," says the Globe, " has brought intelligence of the loss of the brig of war Ars tilleur. The crew had been saved." The Semaphore of Marseilles states that a telegraphic despatch was sent off by Marshal Soult early on the 18th inst., ordering General Levasseur to embark in stantly for Oran, with the vie w o f prevent i ng the d u el between him and M. Arrighi, but that the weather was so bad that the order did not reach Marseilles for three days, anti after the fatal rencontre had taken place. The Brest journals mention that the English collier Harvests, Captain Wilkins, bound for that port, was wrecked in the night of the 23d inst. on the Black Rocks, three miles from St. Mathieu. The Captain and crew of nine men took to their boats, and reached Breit in safety. The Pharedu Leman, a S w i ss paper, mentions a re port that an attack had been lately made by 14 brigands on the Hospice of the Grand St. Bernard during the night. The brethren of the Hospice defended themselves with courage, let loose their dogs, and killed five of their as sailants, but lost their Prior, three servants, and several dogs. The journal we quote does not guarantee the truth of the rumour. In the remote districts of the Canton of Soleure, says a Swiss Journal, there still exist persons who believe in magic, read the planets, and deal with an elderly gentle man not to be named to ears polite, with the hope, or rather, perhaps, under the pretence, of finding hidden, treasures. At Appenzell, th e very seat of i gnorance, dwells a physician, who gave a dyer, some time ago, 20 florins for a pitcher of pure blood mixed with copper filings, and a bond for 200 florins more on this precious compound being converted into gold, as he was assured it would be in a few years. The alchymist lately died insolvent, and the physician's bond was found among his papers. - The representative of the deceased has sued the physician on his bond, but it remains to be seen whether the condition has been performed by the conversion of the blood and copper into gold. The Courrier du Pas de Calais states that the woods of the southern part of the department, and particularly Pas and Bertincourt, are overrun with wolves,.who have entered the folds, and committed great ravages. At Hebtiterne some children were playing at the skirts of the village, when one of those animals came suddenly Among them; and seizing a little girl, between nine and ten years old, tore her in a shocking manner, and then carried her off to the woods, followed by some o f t h e hi habitants, who we r e a l arme d by the cries of the terrified children. On the way one of the shoes of the poor child was picked up, and in the wood her dead body was found horribly mutilated. The Marquis de Clausonette, the Quotidienne states, who had been imprisoned for a month at Nimes, by sen tence of the tribunal, for having resisted the agents of the Government on the occasion of the census, was set at liberty a "few days ag . o, and returned to his residence at Beattcaire. On his arrival, he found the streets lined with the populace, who had erected a triumphal arch for him to pass under, and who received him with loud ac clamations. In the evening he was serenaded, and the air of Vive Henry IV. was sung by the populace in chorus. Two or three days ago, as two labourers of the. port of Bercy, were on their way to Paris early in the Inord ing, they perceived on the bank of the. Seine, near tho Pont d'Austerlitz, the cloak and muff, of a female, which, not being covered with snow, had evidently lain there only a short time. Suspecting a suicide they made a search, and soon discovered the body of a young fe male, whose dress was floating on the water, between two boats. They drew it out, and soon afterwards every possible attempt was made by a medical man to restore animation, but in vain. Just as the body was about to be taken to the Mor ,, tte, it was recog n i se d an d c l a i med by the family of the deceased, who, it appears, although only 22 years of age, had for some time been in a state of melancholy madness. The National dc l'Ouest, of Nantes, of Wectiesday, states that one of the steam-boats of the Upper Loire was blown up that morning, while stopping at Aneenis, on its passage ~ from Nantes to Angers, by the bursting of its boiler. The precise particulars of this sad accident were not known, but it appeared that the whole of the fore deck was torn up, and twenty-four persons in that part of the vessel either killed or seriously injured. Of these, fifteen are said to have been carried to the hospital at Ancenis in a deplorable condition, M. Lemaitre, Jig. de Pais of Louroux Beconnais, is named among the suf ferers. On Monday last, at nine in the morning, a robbery was committed in the Hotel de Bath, Rue de Rivoli, of several articles of plate. The opportunity was taken when the servants belonging to the family were vs• riously engaged, and it appars that the thief had been disturbed in the midst of his proceedings by the ringing of a bell, as there was a portion of plate remaining in the drawers, which he had left wide open, as well as the doors,conducting to the staircase. A student in pharmacy was two days ago arrested and carried before a Commissary of Police on a charge of theft. While about to be examined he secretly got a small phial from his pocket, swallowed the contents, and dropped down in violer:t convulsions. A physician was called in, w ho inniK,diately fund that the young man had taken a `Arong dose of prussic acid. Antidotes were admir:Lstered, and he was so far recovered as to be able to 'Dear removal to the infirmary of the prison of L? force, where lie lies in a precarious state, but not without hopes of being saved. A trait of honesty was shown a few days since by a soldier of the 4th Regiment of the Line. He was going to Asmeres by the St. Germain Railroad, when he was requested by an individual unknown to him to take care of a rather large sum of money for a few minutes. This individual never made his appearance again, and the soldier hastened to deposit the money in the hands of the treasurer of his regiment. ORIGINAL ANECDOTE OF CHARLES LAMB AT CAM BRIDGE.—A Correspondent, who, we suspect, might truly say pars magna fui, has furnished us with . z the following anecdote of not only true,, but unpublished the winter _ Etia,7! which he assures 1794 7 s College, to spend a few dap with him. Lamb ar rived I--oub was iavited.by. ' Coll , nity , his friend, L. G., of rived by the night coach, when Ins friend L. G. asked, hini if; a ft er his fatigue, h e felt himself equal to joining a party at breakfast, to which L. G. was invited. Lamb would have assented to go, but he complained of a chil blain on his heel, which rendered it necessary for him to slip his shoe down, which, he remarked, would be very un comfortable in passing through the snow, and would also be very unseemly in appearance; " but," said Lamb, " if you could accommodate me with an easy boot, I might ma nage it." " Oh !" said his friend L. G., " that I will do," and after a short absence brought in a pair which suited very comfortably, and off they went to the breakfast. " Well," said L. G., on their return to his rooms, " how did you like the breakfast ? What do you think of my College friends ? are they not pleasant men ?"—" I liked( them very much," said Lamb; " pleasant, chatty, clever. good fellows ; but there was one of them, gentlemanly in his manners in other respects, and a sensible man, who stared at me in so pointed a way during the whole morn ing, nay kept his eyes so fixed upon me, that it was quite disagreeable, --quite vexatious."—" You mean," said L. G., " a d ar k gent l eman, who sat opposite to yon."— " Yes !"—" And he stared at you very much, did he ?" —" said L. Yes !"—" I should wonder if he had not d one so, " G.?"—" Why, I introduced you as a gentleman who had arrived from London by the night coach, and he was puzzled to think how you, had come in his boots !"—Cambridge Advertiser. NICETIES OF LANGUAGE....-.A Frenchman once established the fact that the word " at" was in English a negative. He offered to sell a party 100 bales of cotton, and the purchaser only wanted one-half the lot, or 50 bales. —So after a little farther talk the par.- chaser left the sel,,ier, simply saying that "he would not take it at all., The seller did not hear the word " at" distinctly, and so lie concluded, after being left alone, to sell the half, and sent the note round to the purchaser accordingly, who in reply told him he would not take This brought back a rebuke: " You said, Sair, yeti would not take it all; I suppose, therefore, I sell de half as first offered by you, Sair. The reply to this wU. "I toldyou, Sir, I would not take it atilt!, and I refery6ll to Mr. ----, who heard me." " Then, Sair,'respondo the Frenchman, " this English language is very curi e cost I study it much, and this is the first time I find the relate at' is a negative."
