A 000 rt-martial on Captain Robertson, of the
4th Deepen Guards, for conduct unbecoming an officer and
a gentleman, which is now sitting in Dublin, is attracting
some attention. The charge against him is that in the year
DM he WAS 'damned in coarse and insulting language by
Colonel Diatom', late of the Swiss Legion, and that he took
no steps, or now sufficient, to vindicate his honour. The
defence of the primmer appear', from the coulee of his
examination, to be that Colonel Dickson sheltered himself
under the plea of a " legal impediment," that he afterwards
refused to me Captain Robertson's friends or to appear
before a court of inquiry. The witnesses already examined
are Colonel Bentinck, commanding officer of Captain Re-
bertene's regiment, and Colonel Dickson binnelf.
There way a curious will case in the Dublin
Court of Probate on Tuesday. John Port, of Bellygillan
county of Derry, was dying of fever. His brother and sis-
ter got a neighbour to draw his will, but, as the fever was
infection., he would go no nearer than the barn to the tes-
tator, whither the sister conveyed his answers to the ques-
tions at to him es to the disposal of his property, the
drawer of the wiU patting in a legacy of IW. to himself,
without troubling the dying man about each a trifle. When
the document wan completed it was read to the testator,
who understood nothing that was going on ; but they put a
pen in his hand and got bim to put his mart no the docu-
ment. He diet shortly after. The jury, without heuitsv
gee, declared that the document was not the will of the
deceased.

lotehi_'ence from Berlin states; that M
d'Aiterewahl, Minister of State, has been so seriously
lU during the last few days as to awn much nneasioess to
his fri• nda. Tile general belief is that, if he recovers, he
will not be equal to resuming the labours of the ministry.

the Neapolitan Bourbons, whirl he is now preparing for
publication."
The Jarlin d'Aeclirnatination at Paris, as the

We lOW the rendezvous of the fashionable world, and the
rebeehment tables in the midotof groves and blooming plants
ere story afternoon crowded with loungers who formerly
frequented the eiNs in the boulevards. Amongst the
arrologiasl attractions there are the various families of MAW
which swim upon its ponds ; there is the domestic swan
with red beak end white body ; the wild swan, with black
and yellow beak, from the north of Europe; the black-
sicked swan, from South America; and the black swan

their sable pinmage forms a pretty contrast,
