THE CORDELIA, OF LIVERPOOL

In the Admiralty Court, Dublin, on Monday last, Mr.
Ilamerton, proctor for the master and mariners of the barque
Cordelia, in whose favour the court had pronounced, on a
former day, for wages and disbursements to the amount of
£1,113 Os lid, and who had thereupon obtained a commission
cf appraisement and sale of the vessel, in order to realise the
amount of that decree, returned that commission, with the
marshal's return, by which it appeared that the sessel had been
sold by him at Cork, on Saturday last, after a sharp competi-
tion, for the sum of £1,900. Mr. Clement Taylor, the
proctor for the purchasers, prayed th:, usual rule for the con-
firmation of the sale, in order that the bill of sale may bo
perfected by the Marshal, to enable his client to pay the money
into court, so that the two several decrees against this vessel,
and the costs, might be paid off and discharged. The applica-
tion was granted.

SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF A LITTLE
TREASURE.

The wife of a small farmer, on the property of John
Becher, Esq., of Holt) brook, several times observed
their horse, when brought into their cottage to be fed
(as is usual with this class of Irish farmers), to paw
with his foot on a particular spot of the floor, and,
prone to superstition, as the Irish peasantry alt are, she
got impressed with the belief that there was some
reason for this occurrence. and one day, casting her eye
on the spot, she saw something glance in the sun like a
brass button, and went to take it up, where the floor
had been worn by the horse's shoe. She found on
getting it out of the earth, that it was gold coin.
She opened a small hole about six inches deep, in
which, to her great surprise and joy, she found fifteen
guineas in gold, two half-guineas, and three seven shil-
ling pieces-4n all eighteen guineas. The only way
she and her husband can account for this buried
treasure is, that an old man lived in this cottage many
years agn who was known to have some money, and to
nave laid some of it away, where he had either forgotten
it, or could not recollect the exact spot. The guineas
are of the reign of Goorge 111., some seventy and some
sixty years old.—Cork Constitution.

PARIS, Tuesday. The women of the markets went,
yesterday, to the Tuileries to congratulate the Emperor.
The Emperor himself led them to the apartments of the
Prince, and presented the infant to them. Count Orloff
was one of the first to offer his congratulations to the
Emperor.
The Independance annoulees, on the authority of its
Berlin curespondent, that Prince William Frederick of
Prussia has formally demanded of the King, his uncle, the
consent indispensable to his marriage with the Princess
Royal of England. This consent has been granted in the
presence of the whole court, and it is, therefore, inferred
that no doubt can exist as to the analogous disposition of
Queen Victoria, The Prince will be twenty-five years of
