There is no doubt that the great maritime fêtes
of next month will take place at Brest as well as

Cherbourg. It appears that there has been a struggle
for precedence between the two porta, but it has
been settled that Cherbourg, as being the capital of
the first maritime arrondissement, is to be the
scene of the nautical celebration of the Emperor's
fete day, August 13. The present programme is
that Admiral Decree' squadron, leaving Portsmouth
as soon after August 12 as may be judged desirable,
will strive in Cherbourg roads about 3 in
afternoon of the 14th, where it will be re-
ceived by the Marquis de Chasseloup Laubat,
minister of marina who will be on board
the corvette Reins Hortense, and Rear
Admiral de la Bonder. de Honey. The Marquis
de Chasseloup Laubat will pay a visit to the Lords
of the Admiralty, who will return it immediately.
On the 15th the two squadrons will' execute grand
manoeuvres in the roads, and in the evening the
town, the fort, and the ships will be illuminated ;
and there will be a display of fireworks on the
famous breakwater. On the 16th the Lords of the
Admiralty, the admiral, and the officers of the
British squadron will visit the arsenal and the
marine establishments, where they will be
received by the maritime prefect Vice-Admiral
Dupouy. On the 17th the English fleet, accom-
panied by the Reine Hortense, will leave Cher-
bourg for Brest, where it ill be received by
Vice-Admiral Bonet Willanmea, commanding the
squadron of evolutions. The fetes at Brest will
last three days. .

M. Emile do Girardin gave a grand dinner to
Abd-el-Kader yesterday. Among the company
invited to meet the Emir were M. Hausmann,
prefect of the Seine, M. Boitelle, prefect of police,
General Damns; MM Emile and Isaac Periere,
M. liecquart, formerly consul at Damascus,
M. Paulin Limayrac, and M. Nestor Bo-
queplan. The dinner was given in M.
de Girardio's new house, Rue Pauquet de
Villejust. It will probably surprise most readers
to learn that Abd-el-Kader, notwithstanding his
many years intercourse with France, only under-
stands the French language very little, and does
not speak it at all. In reply to his health, pro-
posed by the host, the Emir made the following
neat speech, which was forthwith translated to the
guests by M. South, the attendant interpreter :
It is not the custom of Arabs to propose toasts with
wine, but they ten join in them with heart and voice. I
thank the Emperor Napoleon who understood my heart and
my ideas, and, having confidence in me, succeeded in
changing the enmity which I bore to Frenchmen into a true
and sincere friendship. He has loaded me with farms
and benefits, and I who formerly was estranged from ,
France have now come to avoid everything which is sot
French, sad am here in France myself. The Emperor has
done ms a very great favour, and one but for which I
should to this hour have continue I to detest Frenchmen, while
they would have detested me. I think IL de Girsrdin
warathe first Frenchman to understand my character, to
confide in and defend me.

It is a considerable feather in the cap of M. de
Girardin to have entertained Abd-el-Kader in the
presenoe of so much official company. But the din-
ner and subsequent soiree must not be understood as
affording the least countenance to the propositions
laid down in the Prase a few days ago that the only
true solution of the Algerian question was to make
Abd-el-Kader viceroy of the country. The Moniteur
has conclusively disposed of that idea. The Em-
peror may or may not have cogitated over the
possibility of some such arrangement ; Frenchmen
will not hear of it, and it is impossible.
The Empress, following up the specialiti which
she has made to herself of an hispectreas of chil-
dren's prisons, intends shortly to pay a visit to the
famous rural penitentiary of Mettrsy, near Tows.
The Moniteur states that a swimmer, M. P.,
having made a bet of 500 francs with Count S.
that he would swim in the Seine for ten minutes
holding a book all the while in both hands and
reading out loud, gained his wager yesterday ; a
considerable crowd of boats being collected
in the river filled with persons anxious to see the
feat. Why, unless in accordance with the unintel-
ligent habit of French journals, should the names
of the parties to this bet be concealed? The anec-
dote is worth notice if true. But as long as only
initials are given it may be merely an "Arabian
Nights" story.
The reports of the opening of the Bourse say it
was " firm, but with little business doing." The
news of the rise of discount in London, however,
though fully expected, produced what the Prase
money article calls "passionate orders for sales,"
and the Rents closed with a fall of 20c. for cash
and 10c. for account, the last quotations being
67fr. 45c. and 67fr. 4740. Mobilier fell 20fr.

past, vary but very little.

The Levant Herald says :--" We learn from
Bagdad that the humus tribe of Bedouin' knows as Hama-
vents, and keg the terror of the caravans, has at last made
its submiasioe to the Ottoman authorities. The tribe,

EXECUTION OF DR. PRITCHARD.
(THIS DAY.)

(sy smorao
(MOM OON OWN C

.1
NH.)

GLASGOW, FRIDAY.
Dr. Pritchard was executed to-day, in the pre-
sence of nearly 100,000 spectators.
Last night the convict retired to rest about 12
o'clock, and slept soundly till about 5 o'clock this
morning. About half-past 7 o'clock the Rev Mr.
OldhamandDr. Norman McLeod saw him, and read
and prayed with him, the convict joining with fer-
vour in the devotions. He was pinioned at 8 o'clock
by Ca'craft, and then walked with firm and steady
step, preceded by Mr. Oldham, who read the
opening sentences of the church of England Burial
Service, into the court-hall. He was here asked
by the senior magistrate if he bad anything to
say, and simply replied, " I beg to acknowledge the
justice of my sentence."
The procession was then formed to the scaffold,
the convict walking with bead erect and self-ab-
sorbed gaze, right up to the drop unassisted and with
unfaltering step. The bolt was drawn soon after-
wards. He fell about three feet, struggled violently
for a few seconds over two minutes, strong mus-
cular spasms convulsing his frame.
The crowd behaved with decorous quietude, the
only evidence they gave of the justice of the punish-
ment inflicted being in a cheer for Calcraft when
he appeared on the scaffold before the execution.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
GLASGOW, Pamir.

At 10 minutes past 8 this morning the extreme
penalty of the law was, in the presence of about
80,000 persons, carried out upon Dr. Pritchard, of
Glasgow, for the murder, by poison, of his wife
and mother-in-law.

The unhappy man retired to rest the previous
night shortly after 11 o'clock, and slept soundly
—indeed more soundly than he had done since
his condemnation—till 5 o'clock, when he rose
and dressed himself in the suit of mourning which
he wore when apprehended on returning from con-
veying the body of his wife to Edinburgh. He was
visited by the prison chaplain at 6 o'clock, and
with him engaged in devotional exercises till half-
past 7 o'clock. He was then visited by the Rev.
Dr. M'Leod, the editor of Good Words, and the
Rev. Mr. Oldham ; the religious services continued
till 8 o'clock. Calcraft was then admitted and
pinioned the convict.
The procession was then formed and wended its
way to the court hall ; there Bailie Brown, the pre-
siding magistrate, asked the prisoner if he had any-
thing to say. Dr. Pritchard in a firm and clear but
sepulchral tone of voice said, "Simply to acknow-
ledge the justice of my pentanes." The procession
once more set out on its way to the gibbet, during
which time Dr. Pritchard, his eyes turned upwards,
seemed to be in prayer. He walked firmly and
unassisted up the stairs to the scaffold on to the
drop. When everything had been adjusted the
bolt was drawn and he was launched into eternity.
He died not easily.

The body was cut down half an hour afterwards.

SHOCKING SUICIDZ OF A YOUNG WOMAN.

An inquiry was bold by Dr. Lankenter, last
rimming at the Salver Cup tavera, Cromer- street, respecting
the suicide of a young woman, named Fanny
aged 27.
Hoary Kimble, 3, Brighton-street, King's-moss, said that
deceased was his daughter. She worked as • dressmaker.
On Sunday Let she came to see witness, and she maid to
him "Father, I am miscrinlo. Wherever I go to lodge
the people keep annoying me. They will have my life.
I have asked the polioe to protect me. aad they say that
they will." Witness now wee of opinion that she was,
when she said this, out of her mind. Be replied to her
at the time, "I feu they are not men enough to let you
alone. 1 will see what I can do," and he west out.
When be came back he found that she had poisoned
herself. Elbe used to speak emetrintly about a sweetheart,
but witness paid no attention to the matter, for she sued
to talk of a sweetheart when she wee eight years of age.
Eosins Eves, 3, Brightonetreet, mid that after the last
witness went out on Sunday evening the demised went out
with a teacup to a chemists. She returned with oil of
vitrol, and locked herself up in the room. Her brother
burst open the door an hour afterwards whoa he head of
the affair, and the deceased was found lying dead oa the
floor, with the cup by her Bids.
It was stated that the unfortunate deceased bad a yens(
man whom she had recently seen, but whether any differ.
seine bad taken place betwesa them oe not was not known.
The Ceram having summed up.
The jury returned • verdict of Suicide while of unsound
mind."
Dr. Laakester mid that death by oil of vitriol was so ex-
oeudvely painful that chemists were thrown off their guard
when asked for that poison, as bat few parsons could pee-
. sibly drink it.
