Funnteee's Mi.—The Gentlemen who had Cham-
bers in Furnival's Inn have, within it few days, entire-
ly left them, previous to the whale of that ancient fabric
. leing taken down. The whole, with the garden, tineus
a eetwiderable area of ground, vested in the Society of
Inn, win) have trtested with Mr. Veto, the
'Leader of the Custom House, upon terms Cm the con-
et:octin of a new Int: ettiteble to the respectability of
its owners and possessor.;, ith considerable impmve-
nteret, as well of the Chandlers, as of the Hall and en-
tr. !..a. A carriage way will be opened into'Holborn,
lauding into a handsome square, presenting the Ball of
the Society is the centre of that part al the quadrangle
which will abut next to the housesin'Grevilleestreete
and a part of the general plan will probably be devoted
to the erection of Court Raams for the meetings of
Commissioners of Bankrupt: agreeably to which Mr.
Wrottesley moved for a Rill to repeal the Act which
obliges them to hold their third meeting at Guildhall.
The antiquity of this Inn has been traced by several
writers. In the rime of Queen Elienbeth, the garden or
field behind it was separated from those gardens of the
Hatton estate by a narrow limo, now culled Leather-
lane. The other boenduries cf Greville-street and
Brook-street aim of much:mere modern date. Thu estate
probably, belongeetto the family of Furnieule the barony
of which became- extinct in A.D. 100.—Furnival's
Inn is one, of those which originally belonged to the
eleir principal Inns of Court ; are] to which they seat
time younger students as preparatory ec.11,1•.75, anal many
were entered there before they were admitted into the
super or inns ; and formerly some of their Barristers
were sent every year tc to the9e students, lectures
on the several branches of the law.
CrifloUS EFFECT ATTRIBUTED TO SAFFRON.— A
mercantile man, who had invariably been incommoded
with vaniting during the voyages which be was fre-
quently under the necessity of taking, one day pur-
chased :dents a round of saffrou, and with rs view of
evading the helve duty imposed upon it, concealed the
packet in his shirt. During the Tassege, he experienced
ro inconvenienee from sickness, although the sea was
rough. The good effect in questit nhe ascribed to the
. seffron ; and communicated his conjectures to several
others, who have repeated the experiment with seeress.
From that time the narrator has never gone on board a
esel without his saffron packet.
General I.nllemand, so notoriety 'for his treason in
Mart+, 191 fe, has put himself at the heed of an expedi-
te,n destined, it is said, to revolutionize the Spanish pro-
e.:.ee of Texas.

Ohl l'lmbe Illtssel, well known at Brighton, who
served many years in the army, and who is now in the
103 d year of -her age, is dangerously ill, but refuses
medical *id; declaring, that she never but once in her
jiff! took a dose of physic, and that had like to have
lied her. This firnalit veteran is a pensioner of the
J'inee Regent.
A letter from Mehm gives us the following details
re.spectmg the criminal lately cendeamed to death by
Cle Court of that town :—S;nce his condemnation,
Vela has•confeescd that he was one of the authors of
the assassination with which he wm charged, and has
given infbrination of his accomplice, lie states, that
two of his aunts had just gone out of the horse to give

the cows something to eat, as he and his accomplice
vsere entering it. Vatllet pressed forward to the-cham-
ber which his third aunt was preparim; for him, and he
vrtick her the mortal blow, at the moment she was
opening her arms to etahrive him. The ctirne being
perpetrated, Valtet penetrated to the chamber where his
grandinether was in .Ltd. and plum;ed a kt:ifc in her
throat. The two assassins then proceeded to the stable,
a. 1,1 nawdered the two ;m1141614; victims whom their
rage had to sacrifice. The accomplice 'held 4me of
the aunts while Vllllet murdered the other. He re-
fi.ses to appeal from his,scutenee, and desires immediate
•ath.
