into the world, stood a contest for the Borough of Arundel

him, and took his seat, despite a petition presented by
the latter, complaining of an undue return.—Gloucester
Journal.

DELICATE Iterm—At a ball [given by the City of,
Paris to Bonaparte, was a Madame Cardon. The Corsi-
can, in general, Was not very fond of people who had be-
come rich by any means but his own favour. Re had
never seen Madame Cardon, whose name even he had not
known before; but he had been told that her husband was
possessed of great wealth. lie walked towards 'her with a
peevish sort of air, and said to her very abruptly, " Are
von Madame Cardon ?" She made a profound curtsey to
this question. Bonaparte, continuing his discourse, said,
" You ate very rich ?" " Yes, Sire," she replied, " I
hare ten children."—Bonaparte, struck with the delicate
force of this reply, walked away quickly.
The military mustachios of the " Tenth,' their splen-
I did dress, and manly appearance, wrought such an impres-
sion on the Bristol ladies, that some of them had thought
proper to follow them to Exeter. Two of these fair dam-
sels, very respectably attired, were seized by their friends
on Sunday, and put into a coach, as prisoners of war, to be
conveyed home.

FATAL DUEL.—txtract of a letter, dated Paris, Satur-
day
morning:—" Dubost, the painter, who had an-exhi-
bition some years since in Pall-mall, and resided after-
wards in the King's Bench, has just been killed in a duel
with his architect, at the age of fifty. Dubost was a skil-
ful swordsman—his opponent knew no more of his weapon
than the poor painter did of architecture, but feeling the
smart of a wound in his shoulder, he rushed furiously on
Dubost, and ran him fairly through the body."
Imraov4stxwrit AT DUBLIN CASTLE.—The front wall
of the centre division of the Castle, which consists of the
presence-chamber, has been taken down, and the brick
work is being replaced by a handsome front of cut stone.
Workmen are also employed at the left wing of the build-
ing, comprising the elegant suite of drawing-rooms leading
to the presence-chamber, and are effecting upon it an im-
provement similar to that which the corresponding range
at the other side underwent some time back ; and which,
when completed, will give to the entire structure an ap-
pearance of uniformity and neatness.—Dublin Evening
Post.

INVESTMENTS 1t SCOTLAND.—MT. George Robins is
directed to sell, in November next, the very valuable free-
hold estates of ltuskie, and the lands of Cart, situate in
the county of Perth, ten miles from Stirling ; it compre-
hends altogether upwards of 1,200 Scotch acres of fine land.
The soil in this neighbourhood is proverbially good ; the
tenants substantial, and the rents regularly paid ; the si-
tuation is tinusttally romantic and beautiful, it includes
the far-famed Grampian Hills, the vale and Loch of Mon-
teith, and the rich intermediate space. The estate of Gart
is situate on the bank of the river Teith, about a mile
from the port town of Callander. This interesting pro-
perty, it is said, possesses in great variety both hill and
dale, rood and water, in a sporting country, and sur-
rounded by the most interesting scenery, for which this
part of Scotland has been so long famed. A more delight-
fiti spot for a gentlemanly retirement it would be very
difficult to select ; and as a safe investment for capital, ap-
pears well entitled to the consideration of the monied in-
terest.

An association of a private nature, but of men of known
wealth and character, has been formed to recover the trea-
sures which were sunk in Vigo Bay in the reign of Queen
Anne. Smollett describes the amomit as fourteen millions
of pieces-of-eight; and we arc informed that the galleons
arc entire, and may be distinctly traced at low water. The
contract is with an Englishman, and the half of what is re-
covered is to go to the Spanish Government, which is suf-
, fiziently anxious to see the undertaking speedily realized.
The great diving bell of liamsgate, and other bells, with a
complete crew of English divers, under a strong protec-
tion, will sail in a few days. It is ascertained that the
'galleons are on a sandy bottom, and if we may believe
what we hear, there is no doubt of success. The Bay of
Vigo being enclosed with a narrow entrance, is very calm
and this will much favour the undertaking. Should the
plan succeed, it will be a fortunate circumstance for the
Spanish Government, and will enable it, if it be honest, to
re-establish the credit which it has deservelly lost by the
refusal to pay the loan of the Cortes.—Globle and Tra-
veller.

BARTHOLOMNW For e understarul that early in
the ensuing week the Committee of City Lands is to meet upon
the subject of Bartholomew Fair, and it is expected that a strong
Ant will be made to prevent its continuance. The friends of the
fair are determined to do all in their power to counteract the at.
tempts of its enemies, and we believe a very warm contention will
arise. The Lord Mayor has received innumerable communications
from those who are adverse to the exhibitions, from the belief
'that apprentices and other young people are induced to seek
improper means of enjoying the entertainments. Amongst those
communications is one from a person who subscribes himself " A
Working Alan." Ile throws out a hint, which might be of some
utility. "31illit nor," he says, " the ground usually taken up by
those useless and injurious exhibitions be appropriated to purposes
' more beneficial to the public? There are, an doubt, in this great
city, many tradesmen, chapmen, &c. who have in their possession
la vast quantity of aup.:riluous articles that lay year after year as a
dead stock, articles that are imperfect, unfashionable, or some.
what injured, yet could be used by many, and, no doubt, could
they be exposed to public sale, would meet very ninny pur.
chasers, especially amoritt humble tre.lesmen and the lower order
u society."
