The celebrated Mn. Fitzherbert is now in Paris. •
This lady, the favourite of early life, soon after the

have her pension of 6,0001. per annum doubled,
Mrs. F., with her usual good sense,- declined the •
title, and accepted the addition to her pension.
AWKWARD Aliss nee. —Tha.occurrence we men-
tioned last week under this head, appears not to
have proceeded to a length so fatal to future
bliss as we stated. The version of the story now
current is, that only one of the grooms was shown
into the wrung chamber through.thedeeilishtteits of
Mistress Flora," otherwise the chambermaid. The
brides, having retired in due time,. each in their res-
pective apartment, were followed, after a short in-
terval, by one of the happy grooms—a gentleman
said to be of u very serious turn of mind, and meet-
ing Mistress Flora, was shuwn„ as already stated,
into the wrong apartment. He, unconscious of the
mistake, proceeded, as was his eastern, to 'prepare
himself by prayer previous to his retiring to his re-
pose, and acatn•dingly,. without creating noise, or
disturbance, went upon his knees. The bride, after
waiting tbr ttoonsiderable time, at last determined to
have uccular demonstration of what was passing;
and, peeping through the opening in the curtains,
beheld, not u ghost, but a man, who " was not Mr.
Casey !" Her surprise, terror, and fright, may
easily be imagined; her screams immediately nide-
ciived the gallant. not rry, Lothario, who in:mealy •
fled, and the room was soon tilled with friends, vela.

pre-en.inen.e of RowLasin and SON'S NIACASSAU Ott. and

futile machinations of Es vv. and supersede the necessity of

used these reputations, a succinct account of their extraonlinary
qualities may be 111lliSit.:. The NIACASSAN OIL sets in the
double capacity of pi cventhe and restorative. Its balsamic
properties are nutritive and fertilising, bestowing a healthy
vigour that resists decay ; and, in cases even of entire baldness, .
creating tresses of silken los !trio& I ran ntiancy.
Not less important in result is the TYNIAN DYE. This
subtle fluid is alike hostile to the ravage of Care and dilapidation
of Tire; for when the rude incursion of either has "salvaged ••
o'er whit grey" the locks of age, or tresses of ussirsod's nary •
