THE LATE BARON 13E13-M.—The Bocreenhalle states
on the authority of an authentic inventory, that the
' fortune left by M. de Bruck iS much less important
thariatrresented by the journals. It masists of 466,250
florins in Vailous securities; the estate of Klenownik,
in Croatia. valued et 245,000 florins; a
,share in the
works of Krastniek, estirliated at 31,500 florins, betides
plate, furniture, &c. The wilds aasets- form a total of
786,239 florins, while the liabilities ate 185,300 florins.
The net amount of the estate is conseqtently 600,939
florins (£60,000).
AN AMERICAN RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A short time
since the Hon. Fayette M‘Mullen, ex-Governor of Wash-
ington Territory, while ridingon horseback and approach-
ing the railroad at Marion, discoveired a train near at
hand, and running very rapidly. He at once checked
his horse; but the animal becoming frightened, dashed
off, and reached the track where the road crosses at the
very_mornent the approaching
_train got to that -point.
The hOtse was run over and instantly killed, and
11I'Mullen thrown on the cow-catcher, where he remained
for some moments, Until the engineer was able to reach
him, and succeeded in drdgging him on the engine, the
train all the while being in rapid motion. The most
singular part of the whole transaction vMs the fact that
the governor was net injured in the slightest degree.—

A PATRIOT TONED DOWN.—Mrs. Moppen had been
presented at court with all becoming splendour of
diamonds and feathers, hut she had never received an
invitation to:a court ball. One was duly forwarded, and
on the very crating of the day when that invitation had
been received at Jiiniper-hall, Clapham Rise, a speech
which Mr. Moppen had originally set in five sharps, and
which was intended by that gentlenian as a root and
branch attack upon the government for their profligate
expenditure of public money on military preparations,
was toned down to five flats. Mr. Moppen, on leaving
home, bad informed his consort that the blandishments
of a luxurious court were entirely thrown away upon
him, and that rather than betray his country, he was
prepared to die in his place in the House of Commons;
but all I know is, that his speech did give great satis-
factionto the Treasury Bench.—Once a Week.
THE IMPERIAL PRINCE.—The MonUeur publishes
the following :—The Prince Imperial having manifested
a wish to see the Enfans de Troupe of the Imperial
Guard, the Emperor allowed those belonging to the
regiments now in Paris to be brought to the Tuileries.
About five o'clock nearly 150 boys were marched to the
palace, where Marshal Regnaud de Saint Jean d'Angely,
General Mellinet, and the colonels of the Ist division of
infantry of the Guard had also assembled. The Prince
Imperial placed himself in the ranks, and the whole of
the troop filed off before the Emperor and the Empress.
Immediately after, the boys went into the Galerie de
Musee, where a collation had been prepared. The
Prince Imperial, who was seated in the midst of them,
was the object of a real ovation on their part, and in
reply to it he cried out, \lye l'Artnee !—Vive les
Enfans de Troupe.' This toast, which was not expected
from a child' of his age, gave great pleasure to all pre-
sent. Their Majesties presided at this improvised fete,
and cordially enjoyed the happiness which the young
prince and his comrades appeared to feel."
A CuAstrrosi or OTHER DAYS.—Whilst the whole
country is ringing with the praises of Tom Savers'
pluck, courage, and endurance, and he is being feted
in public and in private, it may not be amiss to remind
our sporting friends that at Colebrook, in this county,
there resides the well-known Abraham Cann, who is
nearly three score and ten
,years of age, who in former
days was champion wrestler of England ; a man who
was never beaten in his life, who never sold his backer,
who never disgraced his county by foul play or vicious
habits, and who, when in his prime, was the means of
others pocketing thousands of pounds, whilst he hims
self remained poor. He is now unable; by age and
failing health, to earn a subsistence for himself and
family, and therefore compelled to accept parochial
relief. Some friends of the veteran champion, however,
have commenced a snbscription for him, with the view
of alleviating in some degree the bitterness of poverty'
which in his declining years has fallen to his lot; and
we are requested to state that Mr. Langdon, of the Bull
Inn, Exeter, will gladly receive for 'that purpose any
contributions which may be kindly entrusted to him.—
Exeter Flying Post.
_COURT-MARTIAL AT PORTSMOUTII.—A court-martial
has been held on board her Majesty's ship Victory, in
Portsmouth harbour, tinder the presidency of Ikear-
Admiral Superintendent Hon. G. Grey, for the trial of
Lieutenant l'atrickson; serving on board her Majesty's
ship Asia, steam guard ship of ordinary_ at that port, on
• - • •
a'o4~ifii ii ding
odccr. On the court assembling the
prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge, and threw himself
on the mercy of the court. Mr. Hoskins, solicitor, who
attended as the prisoner's " friend," made a few
observations to the court in mitigation of punishment,
and handed in several excellent testimonials, which the
prisoner had received from officers under whom he had
formerly served. The court was then cleared, and on
its being re-opened, the finding was read by the Deputy
Judge-Advocate, which declared the charge proved
•against the prisoner, and sentenced him to be dismissed
her Majesty's ship Asia, and to be placed at the bottom
of the list of lieutenants.
THE LORDS AND THE PAPER DUTIES BILL.—Tbe
Manchester papers state that the council of the Lanca-
shire Reformers Union will meet on this afternoon,
at Newall's-buildings, in that city, to consider what
measures should be adopted to meet the threatened oppo-
sition to the Paper Duties Bill in the Lords. A public
meeting will also, it is stated, be held this even-
ing, at half-past !IMO, at the Assembly-rooms, Free-
trade-ball, to adopt resolutions expressive of the feelings
of this part of the country against the aggressiim of the
Peers upon the constitutional usages of the country. It
is to be hoped the attendance will be large, and that
Lord. Derby will not be allowed to suppose that he can,
without censure, adopt such a course of policy as will
interfere with the well known recognised rights of the
representatives of the people in the House of Commous.
