A WAR Coaassrosnarr KILLID.—A letter from
Duran* of the 10th says :—" The ooneepondent of the
Indipendance of Bewails has just been the victim of his
imptudesoe. He oceosived the mad idea of riding his home
aloe( the top of the parapets of Battery No. 6, wheel' he
tool a view of the seamy 's pesthole. A shell seddesly
whistled put the ears of the animal. which reared
and threw its rider. The unfortunate journalist fell
os one of the iron spikes with whir& the ditches
ate protected, and which pasted completely through hie
body. At the mimeos when some pantos were going se
his assistance two thella fell and burst close to when ke
was ivies. When the smoke cleared away he was sought
for in vein ; limbs wen dispersed in di erect &notions,
horribly mutilated. His remains will be iaterred tomorrow
morning with military bosoms. He is much restricted by
all who knew him, as hie amiable character had emitted
great esteem. He was unmarried."
lArrrsairt—Tbe Frankfort fair this year luta
been moderately suoressfel. With regard to the Gorses&
lottery system it is remarked :—" The sagacity of the
British legislature in prohibiting thoroughly every lottery
treamictioe has been ilbastraW by two new examples is
this lottery ridden country. Last week two lottery loess
cascaded by the King of Bavaria, the to the city of
I Augsburg, the other to Count Poppet:Maim, have been
brought to our markets. The shares, being of the pro-
post rously small value of 7 dories (12a) are intended
for the accommodation of coachmen, needlowomee, and
servants, and as they are emitted far above their value.
the most needy dosses of the populatlon are vt.:fitnired
therely, and their eumbliag propensities stimulated by
pathos who, as one of oar mod respectable basher* mid.
ought to know that the MOWS invested be suet, lottery
tickets will ultimately mem from pilfering, from their ea
;doyen, awl that the morality of the wackier chooses mass
sink by such baits being held out to them. The voracious
rapacity of opulent parties lending their Made to such tricks
rennet be too hardly stigmatised. The whole tramoctios
looks so dreputahle that moat parties interested hale their
names behind that of one lime, who seem bold enough
not to oare for the universal *ensue incurred by precious
similar offences"
