ENORMOUS EEL.—On Friday there came ashore and was taken alive on the Carse at Wester Lovar, opposite Beauly Bay, an eel which measured the extraor dinary length Of six feet, and was 24 inches round the body. After it was cleaned out and skinned, the eel weighed 48 pounds.—lnverness Courier. One of the most cruel deaths on record is that of Sir Thomas Blount of Belton, who had engaged with his kinsman Nicholas in the attempt to restore Rich ard H. to the throne in the year 1400. He was hanged, says Burke, in his " History of the Commoners of Eng land," but the baiter was soon cut, and he was made to sit on a bench before a great fire, and the executioner came with a razor in his hand, and knelt before Sir Thomas, whose hands were tied, begging him to pardon his death, as he must do his office. Sir Thomas asked, " Are you the person appointed to deliver me from this world ?" The executioner answered, " Yes, Sir; I pray you pardon me ;" and Sir Thomas kissed him and par doned him his death. The executioner then knelt down and opened his belly, cut out his bowels, and threw them into the fire. While Sir Thomas was dying, one Erpyng barn, the King's Chamberlain, insulting Blount, said to him in derision, " Go seek a master who can cure you." Blount only answered, "Te Drum laudamus ! Blessed be the day on which I was born, and blessed be this day, for I shall die in the service of my sovereign Lord the no ble King Richard." His head was soon after cut off, and he was quartered. MURDERS.—One of the most cold-blooded and atrocious murders of the many that have disgraced the Queen's County was committed at Aughaboe on Tuesday evening. The unfortunate victim was James Laler. He was returning home from the fair of Aug..haboe, when he was waylaid by a party of men, at the bridge, situate about 80 yards at the Borris-in-Ossory side of the Abbey; they broke his skull nearly in two, and left his blood and trains strewed upon the road and upon the battlement of the bridge, over which the cowardly wretches threw his mangled remains. It is supposeed the savages commenced their work with skull.crackers, and ended with large stones, as such were found on the road with the brains upon them. Lalor was aaan of good character; but he formerly held a situation as sub constable of police, and in that capacity had to perform a duty in the protection of a process-server, who had been inployed to serve tithe latitats. This is the only cause that can be assigned for the assassination. The unfortunate man has left a wife and three helpless o rpbans.—Leinster Express. Saturday evening, two fishermen, John Hig gins and George Eastwood, were sitting together in a public-house at Ringsend, when Higgins, in the course of conversation, alluded in very disrespectful terms to the moral character of a female relative of Estwood. Infu riated by the observation, and his passions being roused by the liquor he had drunk, Estwood immediately stabbed Higgins in the left breast with a knife that was lying on the table. Higgins was immediately removed to Jervis street Hospital, where he died in a few minutes afterwards. Estwood was immediately arrested, and is now in custody. Register• LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31. 1833. CULTIVATION OF SILK. TO THE RIGHT HON CHARLES GRANT, President of the Board of Commissioners for the Affairs of ,India. Nottingham, April 24, 1832. SIR ; In availing myself of permission to address further communications to the Hon. Board over which you preside, upon the growth of silk, I shall notice some objections which Mr. Villiers did me the honour to communicate some time since, re lating to my memorial presented to you on this sub ject, and I also propose, with your permission, to append certain rema , ks which I think are calculated to illustrate and enforce some of the statements before made, and which, if transmitted to parties in India competent to enter into the details, may afford some useful hints towards improvement in this im portant branch of industry. It is urged as an objection to making the experi• merit I have desired, viz., that of introducing Euro pean worms into Bengal, that, " although valuable as the means of ascertaining a fact, yet it would be useless even if successful, while the existing law of India precludes Europeans possessing the fee-simple of the land, and thus interferes to prevent any ex tensive practical result in the case supposed." It is also urged, '' that the leaves now used i India are not those of the white, but of the India mulberry; and that the former must be used to oh., tain good cocoons ; yet it is assumed that the latter_ only will admit of slip or layer planting, and early plucking ; and as ii is said that the former takes five toseven years' growth before it could he plucked, it is beyond the mesas of the Indian peasant either to plant or employ." Upon these passages, w hi c h appear to be the substances of the objections alluded to, I would offer the following remarks for your con sideration. In my memorial I purposely avoided any reference to political impediments, as well as to those arising from the habits, character, and circumstances of the natives of India, which might be supposed to stand in the way of improvement in the culture of Bengal silk; presuming then, and still believing, that none of these would prove more formidable barriers to improvement than they had been found to present in the growth of Bengal indigo. The Indian Go vernment has invited suggestions of improvements, and has thereby virtually given a pledge to afford every facility for carrying them into effect, so far as can be granted consistently with the general good. It is probable that the free settlement of Euro peans, and the use of their capital and skill, will be necessary to insure the highest amount of excel lence in this or any other product of India. Never theless, if it were proved that as good cocoons could be obtained there as in Europe and at much less cost, what is it that should impede an immediate effort to commence the course of improvement ? Although all the writers I have consulted* have made the assertion, that the white mulberry leaf was used in Bengal as food for the silk-worm, and not the Indian variety, yet it is probably true, as stated by Mr. Saunders,± that the leaf of the latter is alone used. It must, however, be remarked, that the white mulberry grows in India, indeed it will grow very well in the hottest and the coldest cli mates ; and a multitude of French works prove that for ages this species was often planted in France in somewhat the Indian manner, was cut annually to the ground, and plucked even the first year. It will bear this as well as the Indian (which with every other known variety of the mulberry is cultivated in the botanical gardens of Paris and Lyons), and the shoots of the white are, of the two, most rapid in growth, and equally garnished with leaves. I has e therefore no doubt it might be substituted at once for the Indian variety in the plantations of Bengal. But it is justly supposed in the objection that the white would not bear much plucking before five or seven years of age, if intended for a standard tree— neither would the Indian ; and it may well be que ried if any species of trees would thrive and become randards if plucked very early. The French have found long since that standard mulberry trees are eventually more useful and economic than the bushes, hedgerows, or layers—they take up less ground, as they may be planted at certain distances in common fields or meadows, and the intermediate spaces (ex cept plots of three or four feet round the bole) mey be used for any other agricultural purpose; or, which is more important, they may be and often are planted in the mountains, where scarcely any other use can be made of the ground they occupy; or by the roads ; and indeed in any vacant space. Thus, in a few years, they become the means of sub sistence to the poor at a must trifling expense. Now I humbly submit that it is quite as practi cable, and would be found as profitable, for the Hon. Company to make an outlay by causing white mulberry trees to be planted, as by making advan ces in money to the breeders of worms ; and this is especially worthy its notice, because on this plan the hilly districts of India—where hitherto, I be lieve, this production has not been attempted, but which certainly are well adapted for its extension— might soon be stocked with trees enough to supply food for silk-worms for centuries to come. The first white mulberry-tree ever planted in France flou rished near Montelimart till towards the end of the last century; and they would grow with as much luxuriance, arid attain as great longevity. after yield ing the same portion of leaves, en: the plains of Bengal as on those of Dauphiny. It appears that for a series of years the price paid by the agents of the East India Company for cocoons, and by consequence the prime cost of their silks, have borne, in fact, no relative proportion to the cost of leaves or of rearing silk-worms. Such a state of things calls for, and admits of, beneficia alteration. No ptoduction can ever succeed or ex. tend as it ought while in such an extraordinary pre, dicament. The Hon. Company will no doubt look to this, and any further reference by me to the question would be, I conceive, impertinent to the present inquiry; which la simply to ascertain in what manner, with ordinary facilities, good cocoons, and of course good silk, may he produced in India. I shall merely add, that it is uncertain from whence the annual worms came which are said to have been recently introduced: but from an inspection of their cocoons, I am fully assured they were not brought from Europe. I therefore still humbly hope for the approbation of your Hon. Board to my first suggestion of an experiment, by the importation of properly chosen European eggs, and breeding worms from them. But I would prefer the sup plementary request, that part of the worms hatched from the eggs be fed on white, and part on Indian mulberry leaves. I now respectfully offer the additional details in explanation and confirmation of my former memo rial, being Remarks on tlw production of European Raw Silk, written in 1826, to which praying your attention, I am, &c. W. FELKIN, REMARKS ON THE PRODUCTION OF EUROPEAN RAW SILK, WRITTEN IN 1826. In inquiring into the production of raw silk, at tention may be properly directed to the cultivation of the mulberry trees, the care of the worms, and the amount and quality of their produce, the wind ing of the cocoons, ameliorations already introduced, 4 ' See Maya, Rozier, PuHein, l'Abbe. des Sauvages, and Lardner's Cyclopcedia, brticle Silk Manufacture, pp. 95. - - fi See Evidence of this gentleman and others on East India Affairs, before Committee, 1831. existing prejudices and difficulties, and proposed improvements. European silk may . b 6 properly classified as pro duced in the following districts, viz.:—Mountain ous France, the plains of Dauphiny, &c., Piedmont and Nice, the Milanese, Tuscany, Roman States, Neapolitan States, Spain. The Morns Alba, particularly that preferable variety Morus Italica—Murier d'ltalie—rose mul berry, is almost the only kind planted throughout Europe for producing the food of silk-worms. In its culture, the principal objects are the quality and quantity of leaves. The coldest districts seem, from various causes, to be most remarkable and ap propriate for its growth, whether as it regards skill and care in planting and pruning the trees, or the relative quality and quantity of leaves produced. The greatest amount of success has attended the cultivation of the mulberry tree in mountainous, dry, and barren districts. The following propor tion may be stated as near the truth in reference to the produce of the mulberry tree in the following European silk districts :—A given number of trees produee-irt mountainous Prance 1001 b. leaves, Peid tnont and Nice 851 b. ditto, Plains of France 751 b. ditto, Milanese 751 b. ditto, Tuscany and Roman States 651 b. ditto, Neapolitan 60Ib. ditto. Of these mountainous France and Piedmont produce leaves in the highest degree nutritious. Those of the plains of France, and of the Milanese, seem to possess the necessary silky aliment in 10 or 15 per cent. less amount than the former, while those of Tuscany, Naples, &c., are 20 to 30 per cent, less nutritious than the former. A certain proof of the difference in the quantity of leaves produced by trees in these respective districts is found in the greater or less number of trees necessary to feed a certain number of worms ; and we have a proof of differ ence in the the quality of the leaves, in the greater or less weight consumed in producing a certain quantity of cocoons. The causes of these differences probably are, that trees succeed well in proportion to the purity of the air, the soil on which they are grown being more or less light and dry, and kept free from weeds or other vegetable matters. Each plucking of the leaves should be succeeded by careful pruning; and as standard trees are prefer able on account of longevity, productiveness, and the greater adaptation of their leaves to the health of the worms, they should be kept quite open in the centre of the head of the tree, by which mainly they are preserved from disease. Human labour and skill are most easily obtained and applied to this cultivation, following the grada tion above marked out in the respective silk districts. France had, in 1825, sufficient young mulberry trees planted to double its supply, if necessary, in ten years. Piedmont might increase in one-half in ten years; and the Milanese the same, from trees already planted. The rest of Italy was stationary. It is found in France, that the graftieg on the wild stock tends much to the superiority of the leaf, both in respect to the health of the worm and the quality of the silk. The two most fatal diseases, with which when worms are affected, they are called the " gras," or the " jaune," may usually be traced to gross, overheated, or damp leaves. For every 1,000,0001 b. weight of raw silk pro duced in France, it is calculated that 250,000,0001 b. weight of leaves are consumed, and that 5,000,000 trees of the average age of 30 years are stripped once each year to furnish them. In breeding silk-worms, the essentials are, a suffi cient supply of heat, fresh air, and recently gathered dry mulberry leaves. European recolts succeed best in the hands of persons who invest money in them for the sake of profit; but the largest proportion of the worms are fed by peasants on their own account, as an additional means of support ; and owing to the little space their dwellings afford, they only get to spin, on an average, as follows—upon the scale of an ounce of eggs hatched, or 33,000 (more or less) In mountainous France, in which one half are chamber recolts, and in these for each ounce hatched, 2p,000 worms spin 851 b. cocoons, and one-half cottage recolts, in which 12,500 worms spin 551 b. cocoons. In Piedmont, in which one-fourth are chamber recolts, and in these for each ounce hatched, 18,500 worms spin 801 b. cocoons, and three-fourths cottage recolts, in which 11,500 worms spin 501 b. cocoons. In plains of France, in which one-fourth are chamber recolts, and in these for each ounce hatched, 13,500 worms spin 601 b, cocoons, and three-fourths cottage recolts, in which 10,500 worms spin 451 b. cocoons. In Milanese, in which one fourth are chamber recolts, and in these for each ounce hatched, 16,500 worm spin 70Ib. cocoons, and three-fcurths cottage recolts, in which 10,500 worms spin 451 b. cocoons. In Tuscany and Roman States, in which one fourth are chamber recolts, and in these for each ounce hatched, 11,500 worms spin 50Ib. cocoons, and three-fourths cottage recolts, in which 9,300 worms spin 401 b. cocoons. In Neapolitan Scares, all cottage recolts, in which 9,200 worms spin 401 b. cocoons. The price of cocoons is highest in those countries were the recolt is best. The respective prices of the recolt of 1825 (which was below an average one), for of dinary fair parcels, Doppions and Chiques inclusive, were— _ Mountainous France Piedmont, Pitting? of France, and Milanese Tuscany, Roman Sates, and Naples Calabria ditto 10,1, Spain ditto Is. 2d. The weight of silk produced in the year 1825, in the respective districts, and the average prices of fair silks, were as follows :-- ditto le. 4d, Mountainous France 150,000 of 16 oz. English at 245. Piedmont 1,440,000 ditto at 235. Plains of France 850,000 ditto at 20s. Milanese Tuscany lOO,OOO ditto at Ms. Roman States (supposed) Ditto, Eastern ditto Naples Calabria Spain, amount unknown to me. In consequence of new light being thrown upon the management of recolts within a few years, those of mountainous France and of the Milanese have been much improved,and are increased full one-third; those of Piedmont and of the plains of France are stationary; the production of silk in the other districts seems to have somewhat declined, probably owing to political causes. In the reeling of cocoons, care and skill produce the chief difference in the value of the silk; it is, however, to be remarked, that the best cocoons are certainly the Piedmontese; those produced in the mountains of France are scarcely inferior; the other districts produce them of nearly equal quality to each other, but all are inferior to the above. The excellence of the silk reeled in the higher districts of France has obtained for it a great demand in the French market, and this would probably be much larger were the English market open for its sale. The nerve of Piedmontese silk, and that of Fosson?- brone, has mainly contributed to keep up their p rice; this quality is, however, shared by the silk produce!' in all mountainous districts. The high priced silks are principally reeled in filatures, the lower by the peasantry. Improvements have taken place in reeling cocoons in the higher parts of France within the last 20 years, which surpass the progress made in the pre vious two centuries : these consist principally in the increase of filature reeling, and carefully sorting the ( PRICE 7D.) cocoons, and giving regular instruction to the lancls• The reels are generally turned by power, and the water is heated by steam, double threads* are avoided, and thus regular fine silks are produced with great advantage. Reeling is somewhat improved in the Milanese by the application to a certain extent of the same means as in France. Improvements in the manner of cultivating the trees have been generally and effectively introduced in the mountainous districts of France, and in Pied mont, where they present a striking contrast to the ill-conditioned standard trees of Dauphine, Lom bardy, and the Southern Italian States. . _ The peasantry engved in breeding silk-worms in the various districts of Europe have as yet made but little progress in improvement. The larger cham bers often present great skill and attention in the requisite details ; the rooms built for this purpose are now larger, more airy, and arranged so as to produce a great circulation of air suddenly. Great cleanliness, and giving the worms dry food, have been attended with the happiest results. The pea santry, however, living in the higher ranges of the hills, often bring down for sale excellent samp'es of cocoons. The progress of the production of silk in France has been considerable; in 1789 it was 1,000,0001 b.; in 1820 it was 1,350,6001 b,, ; in 1825 it was 1,600,000:b. The consumption in 1825 was about :3,000,0001b. which quantity, and of sufficiently good quality, she, may probably have within herself the means of pro ducing by the year 1840, if necessary. Prejudices are very general on several important points ; as, for instance, in favour of lopping off large branches from trees, instead of small and fre quent prunings—to let the trees grow to grass mea dows, or amongst corn, without digging around the roots, as is necessary six or eight times during the year. The loss in leaves from these causes has been estimated by some so high as a third of what might otherwise be obtained. The poor suffocate often, and almost always weaken the worms they breed, by subjecting them to an occasional close heat. It is difficult to make them understand that confined air may kill the insects at 70 degrees, but that they may remain healthy if the air be in circulation though the actual heat be 90 degrees ; this accounts for a large proportion of the extra loss in the pea sants' breed of worms. This class conceive they gain by reeling their own silk—they loose, in fact, 10 per cent. at least. The reeler by profession does not gain more than from 10 to 15 per cent. after he has paid all expenses, and runs considerable risks, although he produces from similar cocoons a far superior article. The owners of filatures have a great prejudice against reeling longer than during the months of July, August, and September; certainly this period might be considerably extended without injury to the cocoons or the silk, and with great advantage to the persons employed. It is possible also to reel at less speed than is usual, if increased care and time be desirable. But the most important error, and one that has hitherto universally prevailed, is that which supposes all coarse reeled silks must be ne cessarily ►rregular also. Now, it is just as possible to produce a coarse, even thread, as a fine one; and the advantage gained by reeling even thick silks must be apparent to those who know the waste and expense attending throwing fine silks to be used for var►ous purposes, where even thick silks are neces sary, and which must be superadded to the increased cost of reeling fine silks. • This greatest evil in reeling silk is avoided by two knife blades being so placed, as that the mornent one thread breaks, and by consequence the other would pass un cite reel double from the croissee, it must strike on the knife edge on that side, and at sufficient angle to cut it ere any has got on the reel. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Yesterday the Justice-room was crowded, on account of the expected examination of Gwynn, who was charged with haring successfully played off some tricks, which were not unworthy of the genius of Coster, with whom the Lord Mayor as certained the prisoner had been connected in mer cantile transactions. The prisoner, upon his first examination, stated that he was in the employment of Mr. Ts,ylor, the rectifier, in Chelsea, by whom he was authorised to obtain and give orders for goods. In consequence of his representation (for Mr. Taylor denied that such a connexion existed), the prisoner victimized Mr. Archer, of Philpot-lane, of property to a con. siderable amount, by ordering that gentleman to send the goods to one Hawes, who he pretended was a licensed victualler in the trade of Whitbread and Co., but who, instead of paying for them, set them down against an old account which Gwynn was indebted to him. The LORD MAYOR—Pray, prisoner, were you not tried at the Old Bailey ? Gwynn—Why, yes, my Lord ; I was falsely charged, and I happened to get into trouble. But there wasn't a syllable of truth in the charge. The LORD MAYOR—Why didn't the Grand Jury throw out the bill ? Gwynn—There was no such thing as a bill at all. I was tried and acquitted, and I have an action against the accuser. The LORD MAYOR-1--You spoke of your respec tability when you were last here, and I find you in good company at the Tom and Jerry shop, and that you have been a very hopeful character. I'd wish to know from Mr. Taylor, whom I see here, what he knows of you ? Mr. Taylor declared that the prisoner never had been in his employment, although he admitted there had been an acquaintance existing. Witness really had considered the prisoner to be a respectable person, wholly incapable of any improper conduct, and had dined with him and an elderly gentleman, a Colonel in the army, at the Tom and Jerry shop frequently. Mr. Austin, the owner of the Torn and Jerry shop—Yes, Sir, you have; and you are the only one of the three that paid me anything. The bill was 201. Os. 2d. for you all, and you sent me goods to the amount of 71.; but I shall look to you for the rest, as I don't expect a farthing from the prisoner or the Colonel. The LORD MAYOR-4 suppose, Mr. Taylor, you did not know anything about this man's sojourn in Nevvgate ? Mr. Taylor—l never had the least idea of such a thing. He has got property to some amount from me. Mr. Archer—There is no question, my Lord, but that I and others gave credit to the representations of the prisoner, from our belief in the acquaintance and connection between Mr. Taylor and him. The LORD MAYOR—You see, Mr. Taylor, how necessary it is for a gentleman to be cautious of the person he sits down with in Tom and Jerry shops I can tell you who has been your companion. This man was tried at the Old Bailey on the 18th or 19,h of October last, and I have the person here who prosecuted him. He was acquitted by a manceuvre, and lodged in Whitecross-street. He is, I am given to understand, the destroyer of the daughter of a respectable butcher in Leadenhall-market, whose fam i ly i s utter ly ru i ne d, even to th e stripping of their furniture and clothes; and he afterwards justified an action for a prisoner in the Fleet, having sworn that he possessed and rented a house in Nelson-street, Finsbury-square, although it was this l‘ reetsi statement, and c t i iie n r7iseat I f r riglit a i r ti l l °r sta e te x m P suspi cion whatever was entertained of -the prisoner by those who associated with him. Gwynn—Now, my Lord, you use me too harsh ; my prosecutor was a regular bred, out-and-out vaga bond, who owed me money ; and as for Smith I oh, my Lord, you little know what good I did to repeated greatest th a s t u her.—(Laughter.) Nobody but herself can tell what services I have done her—not a being but herself.—( Great laughter.) The LORD MAYOR-1-10w cruelly you have been misrepresenteff ! B u t th e w o r ld i s made of ingrati tude. She thinks your goodness nothing, but the basest villsny ; but perhaps your former prosecutor could tell how his mistaking you for a thief origi nated.—(A laugh.) Mr. Dick, an ale-merchant, had prosecuted the prisoner at the ad Bailey. Of course the • Grand Jury had, although the prisoner denied the fact, found a true bill. Gwynn—lt was a false bill.--(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Many innocent persons hive, I know, been tried ; but many guilty ones lav2 escaped. Go on. Mr. Lick—He had ten barrels of ate of me, which he said were for Mr, t7nrnptnn, of Bricksiatie. Mr. Compton refused to take in, and thon the prisoner took off the carman to another !muse, and disposed of the ale. I had him apprehended for the robbery; but word was afterwards brought to me, that he had an aunt of great properly, who, understanding that he was in a scrape with me, ;wished to know the snout), of ,the propery defi cient.

The LORD MAYOR—That was equal to the tricks of your great master. You are clever, but I'll stop you. Gwynn—You are too hard upon me. Upon my word you are, my Lord ; I never acted unlike a gen tleman. These are all lies. Mr. Pierce, a stationer, said that the prisoner had defrauded him of property, and that the dupli cates were found in the possession of Coster, one of whose agents Gwynn notoriously was. Gwynn—Tut, tut—it's all lies together. The3e people are imposing upon you, my Lord. Mr. Pierce—l'll follow you to the end of the world. He palmed himself upon us as a mat: of large estates, and helind Handcock, and Robinson, and Atkinson, have been in partnership together, carrying on Coster's business. Gw}rnn—Oh, you be cursed.---(Great laughter.) The LORD .MAYOR—We'II see whedier we can't get other cases against you.

Remanded till Friday. QUEEN-SQUARE. A millwright, named John Jones, residing at No. 9, New-street, New -cut, was brought up from the L division station-house, and charged with violently assaulting Mr. Lloyd, an auctioneer and appraiser of Hatfield -street, Blackfriars-road, while in the execution of his duty. The Magistrates called upon the defendant to pay a fine to the King of .51., in default of which he was locked up. A PICKPOCKET'S REQUEST.--A little urchin, named Osborne, was charged by a gentleman with, endeavouring to steal hi s h an dk erc hi e f. Th e pro secutor felt the prisoner's band at his coat pocket, and instantly turned round and seized him by the collar. The little scoundrel begged hard to be let go; but the prosecutor declined doing so, and told him he slu l ld hand him over to the police. " No," said the Moner, "pray don't give me in charge, but give me a box on the ear and let me go." Not withstanding this far from unnatural request was delivered in the most supplicating mariner, the gen tleman was inexorable, and the boy was taken to the station. An inspector recognised him as a reputed thief, and the magistrate committed him to prison for two months. A traditional anecdote, preserved in the fa mily, and communicated by the present Duke of Newcas tle, will afford a pleasing in,tance of the easy and kind condescension with which Mr. Pelham behaved to his domestics. He had sent for his coachman to give him some orders Whilst he was specking the man suddenly drew out his watch, and, glancing a look at it, abruptly broke off the conversation by exchiming—" Sir, it is my time, and I must go and drive my children in the carriage."

THE MOTHER AND HER INFANT.—" And then," resumed Mahiette, " Paquette's infant had not pretty feet only. I saw her when abe was only four months old—she was a perfect little love. She had eyes larger than her mouth, and such charming fine black hair, that was curling already. She'd have made a brave brunette at sixteen Her mother grew fonder and fonder .1f her every day. She hugged her, kissed her, tickled her, washed her, dressed her our, devoured _her. She thanked God for giving her this biby. In fact, it quite turned ber head. Its pretty rosy feet especially—there was wondering without end—a very intoxication of joy. She was always pressing her lip• to them, always admiring their littleness. She would put them into the little shoes, take them out again, admire them, wonder at them, hold them up to the light—pity them, while she was teaching them to step one before the other upon her bed, and would gladly have pissed her life upon her knees, cowling and oncovering those little feet, as if they'd been the feet of in infant Jesus."—Effiinghant Wilson's Edition of Victor Hugo's Notre- Dame. A FRENCH MARRIAGE PARTY.--In our present tour—for we have now been talking of older ex. perience—we had the good fortune to fall in with a marriage party proceeding to Honfleur to spend the white day of their lives. They were of a class higher than pea santry, but lower than the gentry, although dressed—at least the females—with absolute extravagance. This, however, is nothing uncommon in Normandy, where a servant girl frequently carries the whole of her earnings in the form of lace upon her head. It would have been im possible for us to have discovered, among the three lovely and most radiant faces before us, that of the bride, had we •rot remarked the different species of homage which she , eceived from her attendant. The oblations offered to the other young women were a mixture of politeness, gallantry, and even love, which they accepted with proud consciousness, mingled with a playful and graceful coquetry.
