THs MARQUIS POLTBODT.—The Marquis Poly-
body's head was clear of braise, and from the walls of its
cave reverberated the opinion. of whatever purer might at
any moment happen to address him. But the reverberation
had in it • sonorous rumble, riving It an air of great origi-
nality. His lordehip always kept ea even oountananos.
All who were *bout him, except the more jokers
of the court, were flattered by the very serious
way in which he received, as if it ware a matter
of greet moment, any sort of ocemaiderkm made
within his hearing. Jokers, indeed, were disposed
to laugh at this, but dared not. Who aria so
happy se the poet, when he wee allowed to de-
dicate his idleness to the elesr-keaded Marquis
Polybody ? Bach • name prefixed to his vain
dreaming. gar them an sir of reality. The
man of science gladly recognised the value of hie
own disci:remiss, when his hope that they might serve his
country rumbled beck upon him from within the saver-
nor head of the great marquis, as a positive assurance
that this country wee much served by his discoveries. As
for negotiation, at that he woe admitted to be first in the
known world. He weld handle a napkin or receive •
snuff- box irreproechably. He could negotiate u empty
pros with the deliberation that would give it a value. He
could bible the &cutest of ambessadors who sought to and
out what he knew, for he had the sublime way of know-
ing nothing, creakily and slowly, that enables its pos-
sessor to look blandly down on the premeor of mere every-
day wisdom, that mores cheerily with an undignified brisk
trot. —.Fables and Fairy Tau by Henry Morley.
The Sport says :—" The Marquis de Gannett,
whose leave of absence had expired, has, slthoegh still
suffering from his wound, left Pans to rejoin his regiment
in Algeria. According to all probability, his absence will
not be loog. Since the battle of Solfarbto, where be par-
ticularly distioguired himself, the marquis is to be pro-
moted to the rank of captain, after which, report says, he
will be appointed orderly officer to the Emperor. If he had
been sooner attached to the person of the Emperor, he would
according to the rules of the service, her been compelled
to resign his post on being promoted."
INSUBORDINATION OP A SPANISH OFPICER.—A
letter from Madrid says An 'Raft, in which figures Col.
Count de Castel's, brothria-law of the Infante Don Hawn
is exciting much interest. This nobleman was placed in
command of • regiment of the army of Africa; bat at the
vary beginning of the campaign he criticised, In violent
terms, end even before his inferior, all the operation of the
General in-Chief. This wee a very grave fault, but
to committed a still more Parlous one. in not being
at the bead of his regiment Is the combat of
the 9tb. For this last mitigator, Marshal O'Doanell
reprimanded him very severely, and he answered haughtily.
The result wee that he either demanded his dismissal or was
dismissed; and O'Donnell, in the order of dismissal, re-
corded—a painful thing for • soldier—that he had not beam
with his regiment to action. On arriving at Seville, the
coast made nee et such ispradent language that the civil
pease" had him amnia sad seat to Cadiz. The captain-
general of the latter phase bad him ardor in the fortress of
Sr. Catherine, god the Supreme Naval and Military Tether'
of Madrid has decided that he shall be tied by court-
martial."
FRENCH SISTERS OF CHARITY AT ATHENS.—
Letters from Athens say that the French Sisters of Charity
in that city had been refused permission to continue, r
they bad previously done, to &Morn from teaching the Greek
catechism in their schools; and that in consequence they had
been obliged to dismiss all their pupils of the Greek rel.gioo.
The reason why the permission which they sought was re-
fused is that the law mare the teething of the orthodox
eimmidsot obligatory to Wider of the Greek church. As
the Boman catholic pupils who remain to the sisters are few
