DRAM FROM A TRIVIAL CIRCUMBTANCE.-000
day during the put week the steward of an outward bound
weed, called the Speedwell, was cleaning some birdcages in
the captain's cabin, when the glees fountain of one slipped
and was falling ; the steward grasped at it quickly to prevent
the fall, and in doing so slightly wounded his forefinger,
but though apparently so trifling, an inflammation soon
eet in, and lock-jaw supervened, and he died the second
day after. •

ARREST Or LADIES AT MANTRA.—A correspond-
ent of the Tillie,' wilting from Ravenna, thus refers to an
incident recently notioad in our correspondence from Italy :
" At Mentes the Munbionees Visoanti-Goneags, by mar-
riage Counter Arrivehene, went with some young meidena,
ell of the best families, to attend • funeral celebration in
honour of the Italians wbo fell in the late Lombard war.
The young ladies, who had, without the couatcae, proceeded
from the cher& to the burial-ground, were shut up in that
cemetery under a scorching sae, and were left there for
six or seven hours exposed to the noontide glare
with no protection but their thin black veils, till
one of them fell down overpowered by a eon-
stroke. The countess, wbo had gone home from the church,
woe arrested in her own house, and conveyed to a prison
destined to women of bad character. The countess deecende
from that Goozaga fatuity which once reigned in Mantua,
and married into the house of Arrivabene, several members
of whom hove become illustrious abroad as the most worthy
of Italian exiled patriots. She hes three acne, one of them a
profeeeer in the London University, two others in the ranks
of the batten army. One of the most universally eeteemed
matrons of Mantua is sent into an infamous prison, guilty
of the great crime of attending a mourning lIIPPI for the
happy repose of the souls of those ratienal combetstits among
whomahe had friends and relations."
THE CHOLERA AT BRUGES.—A letter from Brogan
says:" The cholera—which I encountered at Hambnm
in July, and at Cologne but month—has travelled westward
with steady steps, and is now raging In this fish old city.
The Channel alone divides It from England, and the Thames
would .Nerd it a hearty reception should it cross the nar-
row see. Owing to the uoyeethileatel drought and
heat of the summer month,, the male which tra-
verse Bruges in every direction become stsgtant. Their
waters are conveyed with oozy Milne, and the mad they no
plentifully contain emitted the moat foetid exhilations. The
bock streets and courts are flaby and foul, there ben; not a
few ate which—on the antbority of a local journal—e every-
thing is thrown" to femor and to rot. Towards the
brgining of last month warnings were given of file pre-
sence of chokes, which hue piece progressed with
alarming strides. The ordinary mortality of the town
is two or three daily, but for some time pest it has
averaged front 20 to 30, end peter:ley we learn on
riltial authority that it reached the unpree2deeted
number of 40, or, at the rate of 250 • week. The population
of WWI' coexists of 60,000 soul., so that having regard to
the did/Nana f numbers, this is equal to a mortality in
London of 16,000 to 16.000 wtekly. At the cornets of the
Rues St. Georges and l'oictewyn stied, a house un the spot
where the plague wise eteyed two centuries beck. The event
ia commeetoreted by • Pirelli& inscripUon, surmounted
by an allegeriesl Octant of the Saviour, the Virgin,
and the patron saint' cf the town. Every morning
hundreds of peewee may be sees at thin place praying
fora mention of the eximieg pestilence. The women in
their follies, or blank menthe., impart a sad air of mourning
to the ceremony. The Chapelle du St. Sang, wherein are
said to be deposited some drops of our Saviour's blood,
brought by Count Thierry of Mace from the Holy Land,
is aka leech frequented for a similar purpose. • God helps
those who help themselves,' awl there is no Palmerston here
to tell the people that prayers, to be effectual, should be ac-
companied by ablations, end that pentium will la unavailing
unless twisted by the labours of the whitewalber and tho
night:man."
