FRENCH PAPERS. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SITTING OF Avo. 8. M. Bedoch in the chair. The order of the day was the sequel of the verification of the qualifications of the deputies. Admitted—Messieurs Lemperani, Jouvet, de Failly, Lal- Fier, Riviere de l'Arque. The ballot then commenced for the election of the two Vice-Presidents that remained to be nominated. The follow ing was the result :—Number of voters, 292 ; absolute ma jority 147. For M. Martin, deputy for the department of the North, Ib7 ; M. Pelet, deputy for the department of La Lozere, 150 ; M. Rouille de Fontaine, 14 ; M. Etienne, 76 ; M. Bignon, 38 ; M. Lepelletier d' Aulnay, 11 ; M. Berenger, 13. M. Martin, deputy for the department of the North, and M. Pelet, for the department of La Lozere, were declared duly elected Vice-Presidents. The ballot then commenced for the election of the Secre taries of the Chamber. SITTING OF AUGUST 9. At 1 o'clock M. Bedoch took the chair. The order of the day was the ballot for the fourth secretary. The following was the result:— Num - ber of votes.... 246 Absolute majority For M. Boissy d'Anglas For M. Jaubert M. Boissy d'Anglas was duly elected Secretary. The Chamber having decided upon the installation of the new President previously to the nomination of the two questors, M. Bedoch briefly addressed the Chamber, returning thanks for the attention arid interest which had been manifested to wards him, and paying the tribute of a warm eulogium on the talents and activity of his successor. M. Dupin having quitted the place which he occupied among the deputies of the left, took the chair with the usual formali ties, and addressed the Chamber. Having stated that the mis sion of the Chamber was to consolidate the throne and the in stitutions founded by former Legislatures, the President ex pressed his conviction that the principles of the glorious revo lution of July would not be called in question, and that the more immediate attention of the Chamber would be devoted to the financial state of the country. The President, on this point, complained that in preceding sessions Ministers had always demanded supplementary credits, in opposition to the decidedly expressed wishes of the Chamber. He concluded by the expression of a hope that the spirit of bitterness might be utterly excluded from the future deliberations of the Chamber. After the reading of several letters from deputies applying for leave of absence, and also of the resignation of M. Che vallier, the public sitting terminated, and the Chamber pro ceeded to the formation of the committee for drawing up the address. _ _ FRENCH FUNDS. Palos, Atic. R.

THE HAGUE, AUG. 6.—The King has gone to the army, which he intends to review. AUG. 7.—Yesterday the trial of the printer, H. J. W. Thompson, came on before the Court of Assizes here. Thompson, who latterly lived at Rotterdam, was accused of having by actions and writings endeavoured to favour and ex tend the insurrection of the southern provinces of this king dom. The indictment alleges chiefly that the newspaper L'Etendard, first printed and published by him at Rotterdam in February last, owed its existence to his connections with the Belgian Government ; that it was published with the view of casting odium on the actions and intentions of our Govern ment ; of bringing the King and the members of the Royal Family into contempt, and of exciting dissatisfaction and discontent with the Government; that this appears as well from the contents of the said Journal, as from the correspond ence which he had with the persons in power in Belgium, especially with the Minister Lebcau, from whom he also re ceived pecuniary assistance for the publication of the journal. The Court having heard the Advocate-General in support of the prosecution, and M. Gifken for the defence, withdrew to deliberate. After having consulted for an hour and a half, the public sitting was resumed, and the President delivered the sentence of the Court, by which Thompson was declared guilty; but there being some extenuating circumstances, he was sentenced to the minimum of the penalty fixed by the law, and adjudged to five years' imprisonment. The daily press has taken up the decree of the King of the Netherlands, relative to the giving of furloughs to a certain part of our schuttery. The news of a pretended ratification given, or to be given, by our beloved Sovereign to a treaty concluded with the Duke of Nassau, in such a manner as to draw from the coincidence of these two acts, of one of which we have no knowledge, inferences which we can neither ex plain nor assent to. In our opinion there is no reason to be lieve a great change in the policy of the Government of the Netherlands. —Journal de la Haye. DUTCH FUNDS—AMSTERDAM, AUG. 8. Actual Debt, 2% per Cent.

GERMAN PAPERS. BELGRADE, JULY 23. —Letters from Constantinople of the 15th inst. confirm the departure of Prince Stourdza for Jassy, and mention the arrival of Marshal Marmont in that city, without making any observation on it. They also announce that a report was current in Constantinople that the English fleet, which had left Smyrna on account of the plague, had entered the harbour of Suda, in Candia, in consequence of which the most extravagant reports were circulated, but which, on account of their extreme improbability, do not deserve to be repeated. The reason of the fleets having gone to Candia, should such prove to be the case, is probably no other than that as all the neighbouring Turkish islands and anchorages are more or less infected with the plague, it has been found more convenient to go to Candia, than to perform quarantine in one of the Greek islands. Mu AUG. 3.—M. Moriz Mayer, Lieutenant in the regiment of Greek Lancers, arrived here on Thursday last, with despatches from Naples, which he left on the 15th June. Tranquillity now prevails in Greece, even in Maina. The preceding reports that eighty men had been killed there, were very exaggerated—the loss scarcely amounts to 20 men.

PROM THE LOWER MURG, JULY 27.—Yesterday about noon a most dreadful storm passed over the district of Gaggenau (in the baillewick of Rastatt) and the neighbouring country, particularly Rothenfels. A shower of hailstones poured down for fifty minutes without ceasing ; there were hailstones as large as hen's eggs, and a mass of ice soon covered the fields which were just before clothed with the richest harvest. This afternoon the hail stones lie to the depth of several feet. All the plants in the fields and gardens are quite destroyed, the fruit trees stripped of their fruit and leaves, and many of them torn up by the storm, the vines are not only bared of their grapes but the stems themselves so much injured that it is feared they will produce nothing for years to come. The meadows are covered with sand and stones, the paths in the fields and forests broken up ; and in the village of Gaggenau all, the windows that were not defended by shutters were shattered. In short the beautiful entrance of the Murg thal presents a melancholy picture of desolation. MUNICH, Aco.

SIR WALTER SCOTT'S FAMILY.—" With re gard to his family I have not much to say, for I know but little. Sophia was a baby when I first visited him, about two or three months old, and I have watched her progress ever since. By the time she had passed beyond the years of in fancy, I perceived that she was formed t o b e th e d ar ling of such a father's heart ; and so it proved. She was a pure child of nature, without the smallest particle of sophistication in her whole composition. And then she loved her father so ! 0 how dearly she loved him I shall never forget the looks of affection that she would throw up to him, as he stood lean ing on his crutch, and hanging over her at the harp, as she chanted to him his favourite old border ballads, or his own wild Highland gatherings. Whenever he came . into a room where she was, her countenance altered, and she often could not refrain from involuntary laughter. She is long ago a wife and mother herself, but I am certain she will always cherish the memory of the most affectionate of fathers. Walter is a fine, manly, gentlemanly fellow, without pride or affection (affectation?), but without the least spark of his father's ge nius, that I ever could discern ; and, for all the literary com pany that he mixed with daily in his youth, he seemed always to hold literat ure , an d poetry in particular, in very low esti mation. He was terribly cast down at his father's death. I never saw a face of such misery and dejection ; and though I liked to see it, yet I could not help shedding tears on con templating his features, thinking of the jewel that had fallen from his crown. I always considered Anne as the cleverest of the family--shrewd, sensible, and discerning, but I believe a little of a satirist ; for I know that, when a mere girl, her as sociates were terrified for her. Charles is a queer chap, and will either make a spoon, or spoil a good horn."—From the Shepherd's Paper an Frazer's Magazine for August. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1834. There have been many ominous predictions, and a vast deal of unmeaning noise made about the Lords throwing out the Irish Tithe Bill. We have always thought that it grants a boon to the Landlords to which they have no right, but things have been brought to such a pass in that country by the mismanagement and obstinacy of the High Church party, that right and justice are overpowered by dire necessity. The full amount of tithes could not now be collected but at a sacrifice a thousand times more to be dreaded than the loss of 300,0001. a-year— a civil war. WELLINGTON gave up a great prin ciple which, on yielding, he still declared to be just, and which he regarded as one of the bul warks of the Protestant Church, in order to prevent his fellow-citizens from imbruing their hands in each other's blood ; and would he and his party now incur such an awful responsibility merely for the sake, if it were possible, of saving that sum ? It would cost the country ten times the amount even to make the experiment, and then they would be as far —nay farther—from their object than ever. But the idea is absurd—he has already declared, that Tithes can no longer be collected in Ireland, and if some settlement is not speedily made, the Pro testant Church in that country must be destroyed. On what ground, then, of consistency or expediency, could we combine with others to defeat such a settlement ? As for a change of Ministry, or the event of the Lords and the Commons disagreeing on this point, that.is still more out of the question. If Ministers were always to resign their places on account of such a difference, we should have a Tory and Whig Administration alternately every three months. Had the question been brought forward at an earlier stage of the Ses sion, probably the Legislature might have made a bet ter bargain with the landholders. It is now decided. It is singular enough that within these few days two public trials should have taken place which ex emplify all the objections urged by the LORD CHAN CELLOR against throwing open Coroners' Courts. In the case of TREVANION v. DANBUZ, public decency was grossly outraged, and the name of a third party, an innocent Barrister, bro - ught forward, who had no thing more to do with this crim. con. affair than he had with the rape of HELEN ; and at the trial at Chester of two of the murderers of Mr. ASHTON, evi dence against others of the accomplices was given, which would tell them to lose no time in making their escape. In these instances the public might be satis fied with the verdicts, had the trials been carried on with closed doors, but would they be satisfied with the decision of a secret tribunal on an affair like that which has been called the " Manchester Massacre ?" In all cases of this kind, whether coming before Coroners' Courts, or Criminal and Civil Courts, it ought to be safely left to the Jury to decide when the public should be excluded. To leave the law as at present, gives a power to one individual which the House of Commons will not long sanction. The addresses of the Proceres, or Chamber of Peers, and Procuradores, or Chamber of Deputies, answer to the Regent of SPAIN'S. speech from the Throne, have, after several days' discussion, been pro posed, and are the general subject of discussion in the Madrid Gazettes of the 22d instant, which we have just received. The interest excited by these docu ments, copies of which will be found in another column, will not long be confined to Spain ; it will make its way into the heart of the German Confederacy, and the heads of the Holy Alliance will quail in terror before it. The spirit of freedom has indeed fired the repre sentatives of Spain. They have measured the depth of degradation into which ignorant monarchs, a super stitious populace, an indolent haughty aristocracy, and an avaricious mendicant priesthood, have sunk a country once the most chivalrous in Europe ; and they appear to have come to the glorious determination of again elevating her to at least a level with nations blessed with a free constitution. The Gazette inform us, that when the address of the Procuradores was being read in the Chamber of Peers, several of the members started as if an apparition had made itself visible in the midst of the assembly. We can well believe this. We are very certain that the ghost of one of the old Caliphs would not have more alarmed some - of the venerable Hidalgos than a recommendation from the Procuradores to unshackle the press. All we fear is, that, as only a small number of the Representatives are yet arrived in Madrid, owing to a well-grounded dread of the cholera, the majority who are still absent will not re-echo with sufficient energy the address of their colleagues. However, the Ministry have received lesson the first. They now know what measures they must adopt, if they would obtain the support of the Deputies, wlt:lout which they cannot carry on the Government of the country. The Deputies them selves, in their address to the REGENT, have shown that they not only know the sources of the evils with which Spain is afflicted, • but that they dare state them, in language so bold, so energetic, and so plain, that the QUEEN is reported to have been considerably alarmed at the degree of frankness with which questions affecting the wisdom of her deceased Royal Consort, have been treated. Thus speak the Deputies : " The aspect of affairs in the interior of the country your Majesty has told us, ' is far from being .as flattering as our patriotism could wish.' The Chamber must add that it is doubtless more melancholy than your Majesty could well believe. The existence for years of an atrabilious system of Government, an erroneous legislation, a blind Administration, and a powerful reaction against the acknowledged principles of all good social organisation, have reduced us progressively to the greatest degree of depression and misery." This is indeed language which no person can mis take ; language as condemnatory of the past govern ment of Spain as can well be expressed. But nothing so alarmed the more conservative of the Proceres as that one of the means suggested for reforming the system should be by the removal of all odious restrictions on the liberty of the press. On this point the Deputies observe : " The liberty of the press, this sentinel and guard to the other guarantees, requires to be relieved from the restrictions which circumscribe it, and which render it almost a nullity. The abuses of the press can be prevented or punished by the promulgation of good laws for the purpose ; but neither pru dence nor justice can authorise the relinquishment of a posi tive good from considerations of imaginary danger, nor can it be said that the faculty of expressing thought exists while that faculty is subjected to a previous and arbitrary censure." We trust the Ministry will pay due regard to these sentiments, which are as just, as they are new to the Spanish Government. The independence of Spain must, for the time to come, mainly depend on the intelligence of her people. Let the freedom of the press be asserted, and all is gained. This would for ever cripple the power of the Holy Alliance. The debate on the address of the Procuradores was fixed for the 3d instant (Sunday), and was ex pected to be unusually long and interesting. Some of the Ministers had, it was reported, proposed to divide the Chamber upon it, and throw it out ; but they were dissuaded from the adoption of a course which would not fail to awaken the jealousy of the Deputies. We believe that the Ministry, after trying a softening down of some clauses, will adopt the address, in the hope that when the whole of the Deputies are assembled, they will find as many moderate men as will enable them to carry such measures as they may think it prudent to propose. But be this as it may, the address shows the danger which the Government will have to encounter, should it, after crushing the Usurper, against whom every power must be first directed, attempt to withhold those advantages from the people which they are naturally led to expect from changes which have been effected in the Spanish Con stitution. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Saturday. The Moniteur, with other Papers of the same date, contains the following Th e Government received yesterday, by telegraph, intel ligence from the frontier, dated St. Pee, August 7, according to which General Rodil entered Elisondo on the 7th at the head of 6,000 men. Don Carlos, obliged to make a precipi tate retreat, fell back towards Leissa. Numerous e migrations have begun to take place. The wife of: Zumalacarreguy and her children have presented themselves at Ainhoa, on the French territory." This is the only intelligence worth notice contained in these Papers, except some observations to the effect, that the English Press were misinformed in stating that the Spanish Government had applied to France for aid to quell the insurrection in that country. It is also stated that Louis PHILIPPE has withdrawn his acknowledgment of the Prussian Consul at Bayonne, in consequence of a certain prominent part taken by that official in support of Don CARLOS. We do not often derive so much pleasure from the perusal of a public document as we have from a care ful inspection of the plans, and consideration of the suggestions, contained in the Second Report of the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland, just printed by order of the House of Commons. Notwith standing the low ebb at which the tide of Ireland's prosperity stands at present, we predict, from the gre, improvements that are now being carried on, in clear ing harbours, opening canals, and making roads along the eastern, southern, and northern coasts, that the day is not very long distant when Ireland will, from being a bye-word among the nations of Europe, be come equal to some of its proudest states in industry, wealth, intelligence, and love of order. The worst crimes of Ireland are the results of the poverty and despair, rather than of the evil disposition, of her population. Public works, besides giving employment to thousands of her labouring poor, whom want has rendered almost desperate, will be the means of inducing capitalists to establish factories where facilities are afforded for carrying on an extensive trade ; and will enable agri culturists to raise produce wherever a line of good road, a cheap water carriage, or convenient shipping, sup plies them with a sure market for the fruits of their in- PRICES OF STOCKS THIS Bank Stock "22 i ii 3 per Cent:Red. 3 per Cent_ Cons 90% 1 4 31. per Cent 9 3 7A Ditto Red.

During the last eighteen months- the sum of one hundred and twenty-nine thousand, six hundred and thirty-three pounds was expended in the improve ment of Kingston and Dunmore harbours, the making of roads on the Antrim coast, and the building of bridges, and other improvements in different parts of Ireland. The consequences of these works are already beginning to be manifested in the improved condition of the in- habitants in their vicinity, and the altered aspect of the immediately adjoining face of the country. The commissioners themselves say that " Wherever a new road is constructed, flourishing farms at once spring up, and the carts of the countrymen press on the heels of the road-makers as the work advances." And in a preceding pragraph the following most important in formation is given :—" In traversing a country covered with farms, and in a high state of culti vation, showing every sign of a good soil and of amply remunerating produce, it becomes difficult to credit the fact that, ten or twelve years since, the whole was a barren waste, the asylum of a miser able and lawless peasantry, who were calculated to be a burden rather than a benefit to the nation ; and that this improvement may entirely be attributed to the expenditure of a few thousands of pounds, in carrying a good road of communication through the district." We are sorry that the report does not contain a fuller account of the advantages expected from the great line of road now being carried, at such im mense labour, along the Antrim coast. We should be extremely unwilling to depreciate the great import ance of any public work ; but with our limited info! , 'nation on the subject, we presume to think that works requiring an enormous outlay for their completion, and which do not promise an almost immediate re turn of the capital expended on them, ought to be postponed till the country is in a better condition to bear the charges, and in the mean time, go on with less expensive projects, producing a speedier return of outlay. But here we beg to exonerate the Commis sioners from all blame. The Act states that 'they shall not have the power of originating any work, and are only to approve of such as comes to them sanctioned with a security that the moiety granted by Government to carry them on will be re paid, with the interest thereon, at a certain fixed time after the completion of the undertaking. What Ireland stands most in need of at the present moment is, a cheap and expeditious means of having her agricultural produce conveyed from the heart of the country to the extremities. Now in our judg ment the best way of effecting this would be by canals, of which she stands in the greatest need. The first of these should be a canal from Dublin to Galway, which would cut the whole island across, from east to west, uniting St. George's Channel with the Atlantic Ocean. This line of communication between the capital of Ireland and a great commercial town on the extreme coast, would be of immense importance to the inhabitants of both, but of still more so to the whole population of Connaught, among whom it would be the direct means of introducing manufacturing industry, and a taste for the arts, enjoyments, and elegancies of civilized life. The distance between Dublin and Galway is about one hundred and four miles, through which a direct line of canal has already been carried for forty-two miles,---namely, from Dublin to Philipstown ; so that in point of fact the work is already begun, and only wants the aid of Government, and the assistance of the landed pro prietors in King's County, Roscommon, and Galway, the value of whose estates would be trebled by it, to effect its entire completion. The next line of canal should be from Ballyshannon Harbour to Dundalk, by Enniskillen, by which the greatest facilities would be given to agricultural and manufacturing improve ments in the counties of Donegal, Fermanagh, and Leitrim ; and more especially to the trade of Bal lyshannon and Dundalk, which, though capable of being made emporiums of provincial indus try and wealth, are now little better than marts for the fish caught along their coasts. How ever, great praise is due to Colonel CONOLLY, the Member for Donegal, who has advanced a thousand pounds, and given security for four thousand more, for repairing the harbour of Ballyshannon, which, when finished, will be of great benefit to the people of the town, and the inhabitants along the western coast, from Sligo to Killybegs. The last line of communication which we would suggest to the Government, besides the navigation of the Shannon, which is sufficiently dwelt upon in the Reports of the Select Committee on that sub ject, is a canal from Waterford to Sligo, intersect ing the canal from Dublin to Galway somewhere about Philipstown. This, with such a line of com munication from Dublin to Belfast, would unite all Ireland ; and in a very few years would render the country as prosperous, as rich, and as contented as any in Europe. The intercourse which those canals would give rise to between the people in every part of the provinces, would extinguish that spirit of religious animosity which now divides and destroys them. Bring men only together, and they will soon remove the pre judices of each other. The people of Ireland are at present as much removed from each other at the dis tance of fifty miles apart, as if the whole Indian Ocean rolled between them. Hence the jealousies, and hatreds, and cherished recollections of feudal wrongs so common in almost every district of Munster and Connaught. But let once manufacturing industry prevail in these districts—let the voice of the mechanic be heard in the villages—and we will pledge ourselves that the people of Ireland, with all their alleged love of mischief, will find other employment than that of parading nightly in a Captain Rock uniform, or re cording vows of vengeance agai ns t S assenac h s an d collectors of King's Taxes. ;at The Rose, 18, Commander W.

Their Lordships sat in a Committee of Privileges to-day. The Lords present were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Dukes of Richmond and Leinster, the Mar quis of Tavistock, the Earl of Aylesford, and the Bishop of Hereford. It was nearly 1 o'clock before their Lordships could commence proceeding, in consequence of the difficulty of obtaining sufficient Peers to form a Committee. THE KELLIE PEERAGE. Dr. LusuiNuToN proceeded to sum up the evidence on this claim, which has been before their Lordships on many pre vious occasions. _ The Learned Counsel had not concluded, when our re porter left.

The mor tality is great, and clean bills of health are no longer issued. CORK, AUGUST B.—Arrived the Brutus, Scott, from Que bec ; and Dondore, Musquito, from Lisbon. The Cazique, from Valparaiso, is supposed to be arrived off Dartmouth. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Spanish Stock has again become the favourite speculation of the day, and the British Funds are scarce thought of. The former, which left off on Saturday at 461 to opened this morning at 48, owing to the favourable accounts received from Spain by the private letters, since which it is not so good, and has receded to 47i1 1. The time is drawing near when the state of the Spanish finances and the mode of acting for the payment of the Na tional Debt, foreign as well as domestic, will be laid before the Spanish nation, therefore it will be folly to put implicit faith in the various private letters received from Madrid, writ ten no doubt with sinister views. We must wait for the offi cial documents on the subject. Consols opened at the price they left off at on Saturday, 90?-3 HALF-PAST ONE. We hear that an official account has been received from Zumalacarreguy of the battle of the Ist August, in which he claims the victory. We also learn that an express has been received from Madrid, dated the 2d instant, eleven o'clock at night, stating that the Cortes Bonds have been acknowledged in a Five per Cent. Stock, and the Interest in a separate Stock of Three per Cent. ; also that the Spanish Government is going to contract for a loan. THE FUNDS. Consols are 90- 3 - 8 for the Account, with very little doing in them, as the chief operations of the day continue in Spanish stock, which had reached 48, and at present is 471 Portu guese, 844 85. THREE O' CL CK. Consols for the Account, 908 4. Mr. Lawrence Lander, late of the Customs, and brother to the late African traveller, died on Tuesday last at Truro, at the age of twenty-seven. The Duke of Rutland has gone to Longshawe Lodge, his shooting-box, on the moors of Yorkshire, for the diversion of grouse shooting, which commences on Tuesday next. CIIOLERA.—We regret to state that cholera has again visited Glasgow, and that in the lower streets of the town especially, several cases have occurred on Saturday and Sunday, most of which have been fatal. On Saturday a meet ing of the district surgeons was held at the request of the magistrates, with the view of adopting vigorous measures for meeting the evil.—Aberdeen Observer. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN.-011 Saturday an inquest was held at the Manor House Tavern, Stoke, Newington, on the body of Joseph Greenhough, Esq., aged 34, late a gentleman holding a lucrative situation in the Bank of England. The deceased, who was on a visit at the residence of Mr. J. Shaddock, of the Grove, Tollington Park, Tottenham, went out for a walk, and shortly after his body was discovered floating in the New River. The Jury, having no satisfactory evidence, returned a verdict of " Found drowned." At the Tyrone Assizes, a man was tried for giving " three cheers for the King, and his declarations to the Bishops !" The Court directed him to be acquitted.—Linte rick Chronicle. Tuesday afternoon, two ladies got out of a caleche to make some purchases in a shop in the Place de la Bourse. A dexterous thief went up to the carriage, and was on the point of appropriating to himself different objects which the ladies had left in it, when he was laid hold of by a workman, who had noticed his movements from the window of a wine shop at the corner of the Rue Vivienne. One of these ladies had in her reticule 10,000 f. in bank-notes, which she had just received from her banker. A reward was offered to the honest operative, who, notwithstanding the earnest entreaties of the lady, refused to accept it.—French Paper. WOLVERHAMPTON, AUG. 6.—The weather showery ; the harvest in a precarious state, progressing but slowly, and almost daily incurring damage ; the, farmers alarmed, and asking wild prices for their grain ; the millers and other buyers cautious and hesitating, hoping, or rather fearing, finer weather, therefore taking off the market no more than for their immediate demands, so that business is not doing to a great extent, but, on the contrary, is rather lan guid, hinging upon the weather. At Colignac, near Urgan, a few nights since, a person named Rodier went to the house of one Volpilliere, who had seduced his daughter, with the intention of shooting him. Having knocked at the door, the latter looked out of the window, upon which Rodier shot at, but missed him. Vol pilliere then came down and fired at Rodier, who fell. Sup posing him to be dead, he returned into the house and blew out his own brains. The other, however, though seriously wounded, is likely to recover.—Paris Paper. DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE BY A BoY.—On Saturday morning a youth only 13 years of age, the son of a very respectable person named Sexley, living in Park-street, Dorset-square, Marylebone, attempted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the Regent's Canal, near to the foot of Primrose-hill. He was got out after being under water four minutes, and was recovered. THE WISDOM OF OUR ANCESTORS.—The dwell ings of the Anglo-Saxons were full of crevices, and to prevent the current of air from extinguishing the lamps in the Royal Palace, Alfred invented lanterns. In the reign of Edward I. a proclamation was published, forbidding the use of coal as a public nuisance. In the reign of Edward I V., so great was the ignorance of the times, that many even of the bishops, when compelled by their office to sign certain laws or regula tions, were obliged to adopt such methods as the following : " As my Lord Bishop cannot write, at his request I have sub scribed."—lnce's Outlines of English History.
