DISGUSTING SUPERSTITION. —A violation of the
sacred rites of sepulture has receutly been committed
by un asscciation of several individuals, linked to-
gether by a ruperstition so gross, and fir a purpose
so horribly ridiculous, that it will scarcely be be-
lieved to have taken place in a country that boasts
superior civilization to the rest of the nations of the
earth. The authors of this profanation, alter twing
introduced themselves by night into the cemetery of
the Conupune of Neyron karroudisseittent of Tre-
von:, in the department of the Ain, opened the
tomb of the Sieur Antoine Quequet, late Mayor of
that Commune, They then cut the head off the
dead body, and boiled It for more than an hour in a
put, in the hope that, after this operation, the head
would point mat to them the good numbers in the
Lottery. 'file guilty persons are all known, and
have been indicted before the f:orrectional Police ut

It appears hum the Scotch papers, that the Lord
Provnat and several officers of the Corporation of
Edinburgh have bees compelled to attend the Com-
mittee of the I louse of Commons on tho tasks of
the Sewell burghs, in consequence of their having
discovered a previous order to transmit iniiirmation
on certain points connected with the pending
inquiry. Deacon Gillespie protested against the
determination of the Town Council to dialibey.the
order alluded to, es likely to lead to the step Knee
taken by the Committee, and thus to aerostats a
great and unneeessarY expenco which tbe.Comnrit.
