DEATH OF THE CANINE POSTWAN.—The famous
retriever dog " Suitor," belonging to Mr. R, Nash, church-
warden of Otfonl, whose extraordinary sagacity and doci-
lity made him • general favourite in this locality, and
whose exploits as a letter-carrier have been chronicled in
this paper, died ou Friday, at Broughton Farm, to the great
regret of his master and family, to whom be was a most
faithful servant. Sailor was for many years " home
postman" to Mr. Nash. Regularly every morning he
watched for the postman, as he came from Sevenomks into
the village, and followed him into Mr. Troughton's shop,
where the post-office is kept, and sat patiently watching
while the letters were being allotted out, and when Mr.
Nash's letters were ready for him, he jumped up gaily to
the countet and took them in his mouth, going directly
home and delivering them to his master. He was about
10 years old.—S, .EoWers, Gatette.

TALLEYRAND, DIPLUMATIAT AND SPISCrLATOP..
When Napoleon caked hie. how he managed to gain his im-
mense wealth. he replied with more wit than truth, "I
bought stock the day before the Bath Brumaire, and sold it
the day afterwards." He received large sums in the shape
of presents during him tenure of the portfolio of foreign
affairs under Napoleon, when a word in season might din-
pose of a province or a principality ; and he made an adroit
WO of his many opportunities for adv.ntageous spends-
tione throughout his whole life. Generally. when he called
in Downing-street. Montrond, or some other coufidential
agent accompanied him, and remained in the carriage
whilst he had his audience. If anything was told him that
could be turned to account, he would write a word or two
with a pencil, to be delivered to the friend below, who
immediately hurried off to the city. One of these scraps
was found to contain a single word, rend:. Duting Tal-
leyrand's last embassy, complaint was .ride to the Foreign
Secretary (Lord Palmerston) that between thirty and forty
hogsheads of claret, far more than the French embassy could
consume, were annually imported for their use duty free.
Lord Palmerston mentioned the matter to Talleyrand,
who, after time taken for Inquiry, explained that the
admitted abuse of the privilege had been traced to his
ataffry &hotel. There were circumstances justifying a
suspicion that His rrslre d'44!tt and the ambassador went
shares.— Quorfer:y new number.
