FRENCH PAPERS. ( From Galignani's Messenger.) The Aloniteur contains a royal ordinance on the subject of the slaves in the French colonies, of which the following are the principal clauses :—" From and after the let of January next, all the returns annually made to the muni cipalities in the colonies, as to the numb-r and condition of the slaves, shall contain the names, age, sex, and caste of each individual, with all such marks and descriptions as shall be sufficient to identify them, with the nature of the work to which they are employed. Detailed accounts are to be added of every circumstance, with dates, showing the cause of any augmentation or diminution of numbers that may have taken place since the preceding return. In cases of acquisition or loss by sale or purchase, inheritance, or gift, the returns are to contain the names of the per sons from whom such acquisitions have been made, and of those by whom they have been acquired, with their re spective dates. Every infraction of the above regulations is to be punished by a fine of from 20 to 200 fr. Every slave-master who shill fail to make his return within the period fixed by the local authorities is to be punished by a fine of from 300 to 3,000 fr. Every slave-mas ter or his agent is to make a declaration of the births, marriages, and deaths of his slaves, with their respective dates. The declaration of births and marriages are to be made within five days after the events under a penalty of from 20 to I,ooofr. The declarations of deaths are to be made within 24. hour., and no burial is to take place until after the expiration of the same period, and with the authority of the officer before whom the declaration is made. Such periods may be prolonged by order of the local authorities, according to the difficulties of communi cation. The penalties for any infraction of these regula tions are to be the same as those fixed by article 858 of the penal code. All these returns are to be inscribed in the registers. This ordinance is preceded by a report of the Minister of the Marine and Colonies, as a means of regulating the assessment of the fiscal impositions, but as tending to prevent more effectually the continuance of the slave trade. The Cabinet of Vienna, on receiving the news of Capt. Napier's victory, sent a note to the Government at Ma drid, urging it to interfere in the affairs of Portugal.— National. As soon as the news of the capture of Lisbon reached the Government, instructions were sent to the prefects to give immediate notice to all the Portuguese refugees that the payment of their allowance would cease from the Ist of September.— Courier Francais. The /Vitro/burg Correspondent of the Ist inst. has the following of the 2Sth ult. from Berlin :—" We learn that the King, after staying some time at Toplitz, will proceed to Magdeburg, to be present at the military ma noeuvres which are to take place there. It is asserted that a division of the second army will march towards the Rhine, to relieve several regiments which have been thinned by desertion. The police regulations respecting travellers are now enforced with increased vigour. The mail-coaches and diligences, particularly those going to Poland, take no passengers, except such as are provided with regular passports. With regard to the attempt to assassinate the Emperor of Russia nothing positive is as yet known. It appears, however, that in consequence of some suspected letters which were opened, several Polish officers have been arrested at St. Peters- urgh. They were provided with passports from Geneva, and described as travelling watchmakers. The examination of their papers, it is said, has led to important discoveries relative to a widely extended conspiracy. several Russians of note, it is added, are compromised. The affairs of Portugal and England are at presrnt the two principal subjects of poli tical discu•sion. The victory of the brave Napier has produced such a sensation as has not been felt here since the fall of 'Warsaw. The late victories of the English House of Commons, and the visible decline of the oli• garchy in Great Britain, have had the same effect, in an inferior degree, and called forth the anger of a party which will never comprehend what even Napoleon was not ashamed to contests, that—' He is undone who will not conform to the spirit of the age.'" The Augsburg Gazette of the 2d instant contains the following of the 10th ult. from Constantinople :—" On the day previous to the departure of the Russian fleet, the generals and commanding officers admitted to an audience of the Sultan, who conferred many presents on them. He also delivered to Count Orloff a letter, in which he expresses his gratitude for the assistance that has been afforded him. Count Orloff will embark in a few days for Odessa. It is asserted that the Count will be charged with a new mission by his Sovereign. He has for some time past been engaged in various diplomatic negotiations; and from the manner in which he proceeded in those relative to Turkey and Egypt, he appears to be possessed of much tact in diplomatic affairs. Ibrahim Pacha has provided every possible com fort for his army in his new quarters. Desertion has of late greatly increased in the Egypti in army, the chief cause of which is probably the harsh treatment of the soldiers. The bastinado is still in common use among the Arabs. We receive the moat satisfactory news from Greece, where the inhabitants now apply themselves ardently to trade and agriculture. The friendly intercourse between the Porte and Greece is daily increasing. A few years will be sufficient to develop the forces of Greece, and the Sultan may perhaps apply to the Greeks for assistance against the very Egyptians who six years ago fought for him against them."

Arrangements are already making in the church of St. Gudule for the ceremony of the baptism, which is fixed for the Bth inst. Among the modifications of the Ministerial project on the extradition of foreigners, which have been proposed by the Central Section, are, as we hear, the following : The Section rejects some of the cases in which foreigners are to be given up,—for instance, that of military deser tion. It will not have a simple warrant to he a sufficient ground for extradition, as the Minister proposes ; a sen tence will be required. Lastly, the Central Section will not have the law come into operation till ten days after the insertion in the official bulletin of the treaty by which a neighbouring Government shall engage to adopt a system of reciprocity. Four French commercial travellers, who intended to go to Holland on the business of their tours, returned yes terday. On their arrival at Bergen-op-Zoom their pass ports were taken from them, and they had to wait a week till they came back from the Hague. At length they were returned, and they were told that their passports ought to have been signed by the Dutch Ambassador at Paris. - AUGUST 4.—A person who has just arrived from London gives us the following particulars relative to the Conference. Messrs. Van de Weyer and Goblet tran sacted business on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, at the Foreign Office, with the representatives of the five Powers. It was affirmed that they had got as far as the 18th article of the treaty of the 15th of November. As the English Ministers were obliged to be in the House of Lords during the debate on the Bill relative to the Church of Ireland, the meetings of the Conference were adjourned till Monday next. The Chamber of Commerce and manufactures of Louvain intorma the merchants and manufacturers of that arrondissement that the Minister of the Interior has ad dressed to it several questions concerning the modifications to be made in the French and Belgian tariffs of customs for the promotion of the commerce of the two countries, in order to facilitate the labours of the Commissioners, who will go to Paris and negotiate with the French Go vernment. In consequence, the Chamber invites those nista interested in the matter to send to it as soon as possi ble their observations on the following questions :-- " L What are the branches of manufacture the interest of which requires modification in the tariffs of Belgium or France ? "2. In what should those modifications consist ? " 3. The reasons which render them necessary. " f. The advantages which would result from them to the Belgian or French consumers. "5. A comparison of the prices of the raw mate s, of labour, of carriage, and the prices of manufactured articles at the places where they are produced, and where they are consumed, as well in Belgium as in France. 6. To indicate whether the articles have to contend with a competition foreign to the two countries, and what are the causes and effects of it." All the members of Commerce in Belgium have re ceived from the Minister of the Interior, and have trans , mitted to the manufacturers of their districts, the same application for information as contained in the preceding circular. . The • Minister published a Royal ordinance, fixing the salaries of diplomatic agents when they shall cease to be employed " 1. In consequence of the suppression of their em. ployment. " 2. In consequence of the temporary suppression of the mission to which they were attached." The health of the Queen and the young Prince being perfectly satisfactory, no bulletins have been published since the 2d of August. FRANKFORT, JULY 31.—A vast plan of defence has been drawn up by Russia, and presented to Sultan Mah moud, and which has been already in part carried into effect. The Emperor Nicholas has placed at the disposal of the Sultan officers, engineers, sappers, and carpenters. The fortifications of the Dardanelles have been strength ened, the batteries finished, heavy cannon from the Russian men of war have been given to the Sultan to arm Sultani. Kalessi. Those points of the Asiatic coast which might be the most exposed to attacks by Mehemed Ali were also to he put in a state of defence with the assistance of the Rus sians. To protect the Sultan against internal enemies, the accesses to the capital are to be fortified, and Constan tinople will be surrounded with citadels."—Brussels Papers, August 6. FLANDERS PAPERS. ANTWERP, Auc. 3.—For these two days past the cholera appears to he abating, there having been fewer deaths than on the preceding days, and the new cases being less numerous. We may therefore hope that in a short time we shall be delivered from this scourge. ANTWERP, Airo. s,—The Queen of the French, accom panied by the Duke of Nemours and the two Princesses, her daughters, arrived here this morning at seven o'clock, and will return to Brussels this evening, after visiting our remarkable establishments and valuable monuments. With the exception of a few persons assembled before the gates of the palace, there is hardly anything to indicate the presence of these august travellers. In fact, for some time past official fetes have become so extremely numerous at Antwerp, and the visits of Princes and Princesses so frequent, that in the end the multitude become indifferent.

BERLIN, JULY 21.—The accounts from Portugal give reason to apprehend that great confusion will ensue in the Peninsula. It is believed that the Spanish Cabinet can no longer remain an inactive spectator, but must declare for one of the two parties—doubtless it will be for Dan Miguel. We can hardly venture to predict what embar rassments may result from such a step. A change in the English Ministry might delay the crisis that awaits Spain, and would of course have a retroactive influence in all other countries. At all events, great prudence is necessary. The reported interview of the three Sovereigns, therefore, may be more than ever useful. More ca❑ be discussed verbally in one hour, and it is much more easy to come to an understanding, than by corresponding in writing for a month. Almost all our politicians are con- vinced that active interference may be necessary ; but how greatly would the hopes and expectations of those be dis appointed, who believed that the time for a general dis arming was at hand? In general, here, as elsewhere, people have a great dislike to Don Miguel, and if he per sonally were alone concerned, would feel little sympathy for him. But they see in his cause a principle which it is the duty of all to maintain, and so it happens that a Prince, who otherwise would bave no friends, finds partisans even in the highest circles. But very lately the Cabinet of Saint Petersburgh was very unfavourably disposed towards Don Miguel. Now it is said to be otherwise. This change of sentiment must not be wondered at. The unhappy Polish revolution has baffled many calculations, and changed friends into enemies, and vice versa. Besides, it is natural that the Emperor Nicholas should interfere in the affairs of Por- tugal, as France and England have done in those of the East. He has the same right to declare in favour of one or the other of the two brothers, as those Powers bad taken part, at their pleasure, either with the Sultan or Mehemet Ali. If this should happen, as is pos sible, misunderstandings would again arise between the Great Powers, and the scenes of Constantinople would he repeated, which do not always end in diplomatic quarrels. For if a certain confidential union exists between the English and French Governments, as seems to result from the strict uniformity of their mode of proceeding, the other Powers must, by a similar process, neutralise such a preponderating force, and endeavour to draw still closer the bonds of friendship which already subsist between them. Scarcely is one difficult question supposed to be settled, when new subjects for the most complicated negotiations arise, and peace is threatened. Portugal now succeeds to Bele,ium ; Heaven grant that the seeds of great and general trouble may not slumber in its bosom. `VIENNA, J ULY 27.—Five per Cents. 95 ; Four per Cents. 86 17-32 ; Bank Shares, 1,233i.—A//gemeine Ztitung, Aug. 1. DON PEDRO. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SlR,—Your opinion upon the necessity and expediency of Don Pedro quitting Portugal is so correct, that I be g to send you a copy of a paper just published at Oporto on the same subject. Your most obedient and respectful servant, 24, Albany-street, Aug. 6. J. G. COSTRO. WHAT IS THE LEGAL, LEGITIMATE, AND UN. QUESTIONABLE REGENCY FOR PORTUGAL ? " ha lex scripta est. • " The Constitutional Charter, cap. 5., art. 92, 93, and 94, thus answers the above important question : " Art. 92.—During his minority (the King's) the kingdom shall he governed by a Regency, to which shall belong the relation who is most nearly allied to the King, according to the order of succession, and of more than 25 years of age. " Art. 93.—1 f the King have no relation in which these conditions are united, the kingdom shall be governed by a permanent Regency, appointed by the General Caries, consisting of three members, the oldest of whom shall be the President. "' Art. 94.—Until such a Regency shall be esta blished the kingdom shall be governed by a Provisional Regency, composed of the Ministers of State for the Home Department and Justice, and of the two Councillors of State of the greatest seniority in office,' &c. " There is, then, no hypothesis whatever according to which Don Pedro d'A►cantara a Brazilian Prince, can, without violation of the charter, and without usurpation, be Regent of Portugal. Would the Portuguese people stain the day of their glorious triumph by the abandon ment of principles, and of the banner under the shade of which they have won the lively sympathy of foreign nations, and have fought with so much valour and perse verance ? Assuredly not. If, then, the words constitu tional charter were omitted in the late act of acclamation of the Senhora Donna Maria 11., by the noble, faithful, and constitutional people of Lisbon, such omission can only be attributed to the haste with which, in the midst of the enthusiasm of their patriotic zeal, they overlooked the imperfect form in rAich chit document was drawn up. The rights of the Senhora Donna Maria 11. are blended and identified with the constitutional charter ; to trample on it is to dethrone her, and to forge new chains for us.* It is not possible that the Portuguese nation would, with valiant and generous hands, break the sanguinary yoke of one usurper merely to bow the head under the cimeter of another, rejected by the nation which chose him and by the country which adopted him. What crime have our two Portuguese Princesses committed that they should be despoiled of their rights? 'To be free,' said an orator of the first rank in the Constituent Assembly, it is firs' necessary to be just.' " Oporto, July 28, 1833. 4 , LEX." " • We make this observation, because the organs of the Holy Alliance have everywhere asserted that the liberal party sets no value on the constitutional charter, and that it was for that reason a despotic Government was established in Terceira and Oporto. _ " rhe lower Chamber of 1627 was more to blame than the Infanta L'qnnalsZeTWar;,cisir;c7ecias,:he was by the letters of the Marquis of Palmella, the menaces of the diplomatic corps, and the decree of the 3d of July, which delivered her up to Don Miguel. What did that Chamber do when the editors of a censured journal were thrown into the Limoeiro? Why was no accusation brought against C. J. X., who so well smoothed the way for the usurpation ? Because many Deputies were then no less sensible to a plate of lentils, at the table of Sir W. A'Court, than they 'low are to a cross, or a Privy Council rescript, &c. ' 4 Will Lisboa wait for the 1.,w which the Cortes is to pass, before the liberty of the press, authorized by the charter, shall be exercised?"

Last mile and half, (4 Subs.) Mr. Houldsworth's Titus Walked over. The Great Yorkshire Stakes of 25 sovs. each, 10 ft., for three yrs. old colts, Sot. bib. ; fillies, Sot. 31b. St. Leger Course. (6 Subs.) Mr. Houldsworth's Despot Sir E. Dodsworth's Charmer Betting 6 to 4 on Charmer, who set off at a moderate pace, and made running to the Wood, where the speed, still bad enough, was slightly increased. Charmer kept in front to the distance, Nelson close o❑ his scat, while Dar ling was exercising all the rights of " persuasion" on Des pot; twenty yards from borne Nelson was driven to the whip, as a last resource, the only effect of which was to make his mare stop, and enable Despot to win rather cle verly by three parts of a length. It is very certain this running will not do for Doncaster. Produce Stakes of 100 soya. each, h. ft., for four vrs. old colts, Bst. 71b. ; fillies, Sat. 41b. (31b. allowed, &c.) Four miles. (5 Subs.) Mr. Houldsworth's Trident Mr. Gascoigne's Repealer Betting, 6 to 4 on Repealer.—The favourite made play and kept the lead from the start till near the winning chair, where Darling brought up Trident and beat him, after a short struggle, by a length. The King's Plate was won by Physician, beating Tom boy, Ostrich, and Mariana filly. BETTING AT YORK ON TUESDAY NIGHT. DONCASTER ST.

ROVIING MATCH.—The rowing match among the watertnen of the Middlesex side of London-bridge and the Old Swan-stairs took place yesterday. After a very tolerable contest it was decided in favour of Myers and Mitchell. DOUBLE SCULL WAGER.—Another rowing match for a wherry given by the inhabitants of St. John's and St. Margaret's, Westminster, also took place on Tuesday by ten pair of sculls, two pair in each boat. It was won by the Campbells (brothers). We are happy to state that the doors of Starn. ford goal are now open, not a single prisoner being con fined there.—Lincolnshire Chronicle. A HINT FOR BRIDES.—A few days since a couple went to Thame Church to be married. The ceremony went on as usual very well until it came to the words "with this ring I thee wed," when the bride essay ing to take her glove off her maiden hand for the last time could not effect it. Whether it was agitation or heat, nervousness or perspiration, the leather clung to her band like man and wife ought to do, and would not part company. The bride blushed and pulled, but in vain. The bridegroom (bold man) laughed outright; so did the father, so did the mother, so did the bride's maids, so did all spectators except the clergyman, and he (the Rev. Mr. LEE) exclaimed, " I do not come here to be laughed at," and, shutting his book, left the ceremony half-finished, the bride half-married, and the glove—half off. We add for the satisfaction of the sympathisers, that the bride went to church next day with her hand un • covered, and the nuptial knot was then tied " as tight as a glove."—Bucks Herald. The late Chairman of the Quarter Sessions for Dublin was so remarkable for his lenity to female culprits that a woman was seldom convicted when he pre sided. On one occasion when this humane Barrister was not in the chair, a prim-looking woman was put to the bar of the Commission Court, at which presided an equally humane though not so gallant a gentleman. She was indicted for uttering forged bank-notes. According to usual form of law the Clerk of the Crown inikei the prisoner if she was ready to take her tri .1? With great disdain she answered " No, my Lord ; I'll be tried by the other Judge, or not at all." The simplicity of the woman, coupled with the well-known character of the late Chair man, caused a roar of laughter in the Court. :be Chair man was about to explain the impossibility of her being tried by the popular Judge, and said " He can't try you" —when the woman stopped him short, and, with an inimi table sneer, exclaimed, " Can't try me ! why he tried me twice before." She was tried, however, and, for the third time, acquitted. ME GENTEEL SWINDLER.--Mr. HO WELLS, our r.ctive police-officer, has returned from an unprofitable pursuit of the gentlemanly Canadisu, PI. 0. BENNETT, Esq., whose successful performances in this county, of the character of a new Jeremy Diddler, we described in our last. Mr. HoweiA.s has visited Gle.gow he has not, therefore, been to the falls of Niagara to look for our tourist. Another individual, who travelled south, in pursuit of the slippery Canadian, has heard of the tourist, though he was no t f or t unate enoug h t o catc h even a glimpse of the person of Mr. 11. 0. BENNETT. It ap pears that on the 18th u lt., M r . B ENNETT was a t Bristol, where it is supposed that he changed his name to WU,. L'AMSON, and his luggage to a leather portmanteau. We fear this will b e t h e l ast account o f t h e accomp li s h e d swindler —accomplished he undoubtedly must he, for he is "of such enchanting presence and discourse," that he found no difficulty in abstracting some 600/. from the coffers of his enchanted friends in this city and county.— Hereford Times. THE HAUNTED HOUSE.—A few evenings ago the maid servant of a worthy gentleman, who resides not 100 mil es f rom a p l ace called Welford, was muc h sur prised by discovering a white petticoat in the bedchamber of her unwived master ; and, peering about the room, her surprise changed to terror as her eyes fell upon a spiritual form, half s h rou d e d i n one o f t h e b e d curta i ns , as if desirous to hide itself from mortal gaze. The affrighted maid, crying "Murder" rushed to the stair head, and ro ll e d to t h e b ottom. All t h e h ouse h o ld was in an instant around her, and when she had " come round" herself, she vowed vociferou.ly that she would not live any longer in " s uc h a h ouse ." " H o ld your tongue , gir l d o !" exclaimed her agitated master, " think of my reputation !" Meanwhile, scared by the uproar she had kindled, and t,kitig advantage of the moment when all were occupied aiti the fallen servant, the ghost (together with the till-tale petticoat) glided unseen through the front door, apcl7as heard o f no more . Th e gentleman's " reputa tion" was thus luckily preserved ; for though the lass. now 'bat she i s more collected, asserts that the (fallen) angel' s white wings bad a marvellous resemblance to a lady's no one who is at all acquainted with her m ester's character will lend an ear to her story.--Leicester Chronicle.

Phipps, Esq., from ditto, for the North ; John Warwick, Esq., from Fenton's Hotel, St. James's-street, for the Continent. General BOURMONT is particularly forti.nate in timing his absences. He was absent from Waterloo, and BONAPARTE was defeated ; he was absent, at Algiers, when the French Revolution occurred, and hurled him from power; and he was absent at Oporto when Lisbon was taken from Do❑ MIGUEL. He might be called the absent man. _ It is hoped that one of the earliest measures of the Queen of PORTUGAL'S Government will be to pro vide for those arrears of interest which have arisen out of the bad faith of MIGUEL ; but that act of justice will be hastened by the recognition by Great Britain, which will, in fact, put it the sooner in the power of the Regency to do it by at once establishing its credit. We do not believe that the Government of Donna MARIA will delay thi. longer than is absolutely neces , ary ; but the means, if not supported by this country, may be wanting. The arrears of interest on the Portuguese loan, chiefly in English hands, are five years and a half, and amount to between ' 300,0001. and 400,0001. sterling. We hear with great pleasure, that the KING is highly gratified by the passing of the Irish Chuch Tem poralties Bill. His MAJESTY, it is said, and we believe truly, is firmly attached to the present Ministers, and to the policy of their government ; but he is, unfortunately for the nation, surrounded by Tories, who are always ring ing in the Royal ear the chngers of reform, without sayine a word on the still greater danger of resisting reform both in the Church and in .the State. In some way the two Hou , es of Parliament must be brought to assimi late better than they do at present before the next session ; and whether this must be effected by advancing the cause of reform in the Lords, or depressing it in the Commons, remains to he determined. We have no doubt about the decision of this question ultimately.--Leeds Mercury. TRAVELLING A HUNDRED YEARS AGO. —The following curious advertisement is extracted from the Caledonian Mercury of July 10, 1721 Whereas it hath ben reported that the stage coach to London path not performed in nine days, as was promised in their hills. Now this may satifie, that the badness of the weather and roads beat down the horses of a sadden, which could no , be prevented by the undertaker ; but for the future 'twill be punctually performed in dine days, at least till Michael mas ; one of the owners being now dow❑ to put in fresh horses." souk. IRISH STEAMBOAT DINNER.—Such a dinner ! vc: gods, such a dinner ! Spirit of Ude forbid that I ever again assist at such another ! Such steamed heel, steamed carrots, steamed mutton, steamed pork, steamed onions, steamed grease, filth, fowls, cabbage, black-puddings, and tripe !—all apparently steamed in the same boiler that steamed us along, and flavoured with the same oil that prevented friction in the machinery and sup plied the lights in the engine-room. Yet our goodly coin • pany, fifty-two in number, men, women, and children, ate, drank, jostled, shoved, carved, grumbled, called. scolded, quarrelled, gobbled, and gabbled, with a velocity and pertinacity scarcely exceeded by the rapidity and en durance of the lever that set our paddles turning.— Frazer's Magazine. The proprietors of a stage-coach on one of the roads in Ireland having, in order to signify their readines for action and their determination to put down all npposi tion, caused the well-known motto " Paratus ad arnia' to be painted in large letters o❑ the pannels of the coach the inscription was thus spelled over and construed by a. Irishman whose eye it happened to catch :—"P-a•r-a-t-u s —Pratise; Pr-sties at Armagh, is it ? Sure where's th use of teihng us that? Isn't there praties every where ?" On Tuesday evening last, a poor woman . _ the parish of Llanwinio, in this county, having occasion , to leave her home, gave her infant child to the care of a girl who lodged in her house. When the mother re turned, she found her child in bed, which she suppose , was asleep, and not wishing to disturb it from its slumber, let it remain; she then went to work in the garden, ant when she again returned took the child into her arms for the purpose of feeding it, when, to her astonishment, slo discovered that the child was dead. On examining the body there were marks of violence found on the throat, and suspicion fell on the above mentioned girl of havir4; strangled the child. She absconded the same evening, zinc has not since been heard of, although persons have beet sent in pursuit.— Carnarvoz Journal. DUEL EXTRAORDINARY.— 4n affair of honour took place last week, not a hundred miles from Penzance, between a Captain —, of the merchant ser vice, and a Mr. T—, cabinet maker, &c.—lt appear the parties had ben-n sacrificing pretty liberally at the shrine of 13acchus, when some trifling quarrel arose, which tlo others present, who were disposed to mike it a subject o! m e rriment, declared nothing could settle but an appeal tt arms, and persuaded them to lave recourse to that satin faction due from one gentleman to another. In vain the:, pledged themselves to meet at morning's dawn, the insult was insisted on as being so gross, that nothing but tit instant death of one of them could atone for it. Pistol being procured, arid the distance, ten paces, being markk. Out, tee deadly we ipons were placed by the seconds in th, trembling hands of the parties, with sundry necessary ex hortations to " screw their courage to the sticking place.' The signal when to fire having b-en agreed on, the me, were placed, but without awaiting the word, one en sconced himself behind a pot, and the other behind o'gAty, and valiantly disclarte4 their tvtaponk: WbetteP it was owing to their remarkable pomi!ion, r to the cir eurnvanees of the second , hav!tig oniitted " by accident" to put any bullet iii the piAul, certain it is tl at neither of them took effect, but the report was an loud th4t it hrought the combatants to their sober senses, and it was with no little complacency that they received the high eulogiums of their friends on the cool courage that they had evinced, and their warm congratulations on the happy termination such a bloodless " affair of honour.".--Cornwall Gazette. ALLEGED MURDER OF JOHN P. WOOD. —Tuesday night's Gazette contains a notice, signed by the Secretary of State, offering a reward of 1001. for tl.e discovery of the murderer. An action was brought on Thursday last, at the Ennis Assizes, by the High Sheriff against O'Goßoos NlAnox for the expenses of his election in 1830.—Verdict for the plaintiff, 601. damages, and 6d costs. AN ÜBIQUITOUS LADY.—It has been men tioned as a proof of the universal feeling in favour of the le , titimate drama, that Mr. Sheridan Knowles' WV, has appeared at a dozen how , es an the same night A horse-dealer had a son, who, being a lad of spirit, proposed, as a novel expedient, to open a stable on the principle of strictly honest dealing ; but the father, who was a prudent man, discouraged the idea, observing, ,‘ That he disliked speculation." SH AKSPEAREA N COOK.—A boarding-house keeper at one of the watering places announces, as the main recommendation of his dinners, that ill , y are pre pared " by a conk engaged from the principalhot.l in tile town, which is known as the birthplace of the immortal Shakspeare." OILING A WEATHERCOCK.—It is neces sary to oil the vane on the top of the spire of Sali,bury Cathedral once a year, and this can only be accomplished by a person climbing t the top of the giddi eminence. Last week a man named SAMUEL APLIN performed this _ _ . venturous exploit for the 60th time. INEVITABLE RESULT OF COMBINATIONS. —Extract 6 ova the evidence of Mr. Aaron Lees, of Marl. cheater, before the Factory Commission :—Q. " 11 ive you ever known a turn out to succeed ?"—A. " Never ; every one, without exception, has ended in a reduction of wages imm diately after, on account of the influx of fresh hands causing a superabundance of labour." One of the contributors to the " Sporting Magazine" g;vee an account of a fawn, which was found in Sir A. CIIICHE,TER'S park, being suckled by a I mind bitch, afterwards introduced into the kennel, and received with every hospitality by the dog,. It subsequently died, as the milk of its nurse did not agree with it. AN ANIMATED PREACHER.—A short time ago, as the Curate of Arromanches, near Bayeux, in Nor mandy, who is of remarkable rotundity, was preaching at Asnelles, he ,became so animated with his zeal, and urged his doctrine with such force of action, that he first shook he pulpit from its base, and then overbalancing it with his weight, frll prone amongst his auditors, doing their bodies as much evil as he was anxious to do good to Ulric An interesting discovery has lately been made at Rome, in the vineyard of Dr. Luri, between the gates of St. Sebastian and St. Paul. The celebrated mosaic made by SOSUS PERGAMUS, and mentioned by PLINY, lib. 25, sec. 25, has been found. This mosaic represents the remains of a dinner left on a floor, bones of ebickens, fish, lettuce leaves, a mouse gnawing these fragments, &c. Prmiv states that two doves on a vase were represented on the mosaic, but this part of the work has been datna,jed by the construction of a wall near the place where it was deposited. _ _ _ A NOTABLE VISITER.—Among the Nisi ters to FORREST'S exhibition on the Calton-hill, the other day, Mts. BUTLER, the venerable matron, we sometime ago took notice of, and who completed her 105th year in June last. She expresses herself highly delighted with Mr. FORREST'S kindness and attention, he having heau'd her to the foot of the hill, and invited her back with her young daughter, who is only 80 years of age, an invit2t -641 which the old woman readily promised to accept. When asked her opinion of the Statuary, she replied, " I hae travelled far, and seen mony braw sights, but the like o' that I ne'er saw afore !" Dr. Antommarchi has addressed the follow. ing letter to the Kiag of the French : " Paris, Aug. 2. sire,_Wben celebrating the anniversary of the great _ _ days of July, your Majesty - heightened the enjoyment of the festival by the homage paid to the memory of the Emperor Napoleon ; but the feelings which dictated this august ceremony will not be fully satisfied until the remains of this great man shall cease to repose in a foreign land— it belongs to your Majesty to claim them from England.

TREMENDOUS FALL OF LIMESTONE CLIFF AT MARCROSS.-011 Thursday, the 24th of July, an iiiimense avalanche of the lofty cliff at Marcross, in this county, took place, and it is calculated that 200,000 tons of limestone rock were precipitated upon the beach. It has unfortunately occurred very near one of the newly recited lighthouses, and though there is no immediate danger, yet, when what old LELAND so aptly calls " the rages of Severn" are considered, there is no calculating hew soon these substantial and solid fabrics might he undermined. A large party from Cowbridge and its vicinity had been spending the day on the Marcross rocks, and some of the parry (of the families of the Rev. ROBERT KNIGHT and T. BASSETT, Esq., of Welsh St. Donets) had on y left the spot a few minutes before the fall took place. —Merthyr Guardian. CHELMSFORD PETTY SESSION, AUG. 2. HANNAHwmbro brought h ß t u o p o b l F y I the ELD overseera gi r o nly of Springfield, fourteen years o t o , e f age, 'mined as to her settlement, she being pregnant. Her father is a coach-smith. Both her parents were present, and gave evidence as to her settlement. The girl was disinclined to answer any questions put to her, and h id rather the appearance of an idiot ; but the overseer stated, hat while she was in Springfield Charity School, she was considered a very sharp girl. The mother added, that she had been in that low sulky way ever since the present affair had come to light. The Bench observed that it was a most lamentable case for a girl of her age. The girl . FIELD, and is intended to run on a common t., arnp ik e hid gained no settlement of her own, and her lather, it appeared, belonged to St. Mary's, Colchester, where he -eived an apprenticeship upwards of 20 years ago. An dater was granted for the removal of the girl to that parish. —Essex Herald. NEW STEAM CARRIAGE.—On Tuesday a new steam carriage, built, it is said, by the direction and at the expense of Sir CHARLES DANCE, starred from Lam bth for the town of Croydon. The vAie'e was con, true n t e e en, d on ot Larn ttle be premises o t t he Ni s e up msr :r . int A i l ” A ,d u en alr e eri,i D db oad. The carriage, which assumes the appearance of an itonihus, and which will contain fourt , .-n persons, is attached to the engine by a pole. 'I:, this occasion six entlemen and the engineer, Mr. FIELD, occupied seats in it. It proceeded to a distance of ahout three miles be yond Croydon, and then returned to town, travelling at h•-• rate of twelve miles per hour. The noi-e and eavite tient which it created as it pass , cl through the narrow .tee, is of Croydon obliged the Judges to suspend the pro ,. dings of the Assize Courts fur the time. It will sin rt y, we understand, make a second experimental jour iey, when Briehton will be the place of its destin ition. A periodical (the Monthly Magazine) re ate+ the following story :—Two rus ics wele lately struck v th a harchinent affixed to a house at Statword, and greed toaether that it was the sign of the Bull's Head to a new public house. They tesolved to try t , e ale, walked ip to the door through the garden in front, and giving a hundering knock, which soon procuted them admission, the following dialogue took place between them and he servant :—' I say, my chap, you don't seem to 'te troubled with much custom at the Bull's Yead —bring us a mug of beer." " Bull's Yead—mug of beer !" muttered the servant, looking at his customers with astonishment. " Why what's the chap staring at? I , you don't know your business send up Mr. RESUKcAm." Mr. REseacam," repeated the servant, with increased amazement. " Yes, that's the name under the sign, y ea n't your master ?" bellowed the rustic. " Hush ! tnY master's dead." " Well, then, send us Mrs. REsufecaar, our inissus." at My mistress is in London," said the loot- Ilan, with no little misgiving that the intent of his vi•iters vas more wicked than charitable, " Well, then, bring us up ! he ale," said the bumpkin, in a i r a. i t g .r e u . ppi l`l l " ! you ' h a e ti l l i Why ,],[ am on a foes the man think I am to get ale?
