-----
A deputation from the inhabitants of Verdun,
in France, has just arrived in London to claim the pay-
ment of three millions and a half of francs (140,0001.),
the amount of private debts contracted by English pri-
soners detained at that city during the war. This de-
putation, composed of Messrs. Routhier, Quentin Leo-
rat, Masse, and Tribout, has, we are assured, been
most kindly received by Lord Palmerston, who seems
to have impressed the members of the deputation with
the belief, that no time will be lost in submitting the
demand of the inhabitants of Verdun to a mixed com-
mission charged with the liquidation of the debt. Mar-
shal Soult, we understand, has written privately to Lord
Palmerston, to suggest that a part of the nine millions
of francs (the unappropriated balance of a sum of sixty
millions paid by France in 1815, in liquidation'of the
claims of British subjects), ought to be applied in pay-
ment of the inhabitants of Verdun. d
A VESSEL ON FIRE IN THE ItivEß.--`-Pli
Thursday morning, about four o'clock,:a firs broke out
on board of a sloop, called _the Jerusalem, of Rochester.
lying alongside of Messrs. Whitbread and Co.'s wharf,
Upper Thames-street, near Blackfriars Bridge, and it
raged with great violence for several hours. The vessel
is the property of Mr. Webb, of Rochester, from which
place she had come on the previous day, laden with
lime. The fire was discovered by the master, who was
asleep in the cabin, and was awoke by being nearly suf-
focated by the smoke. The firemen extinguished the
fire by throwing sand and mud over it. '['he vessel, it
is stated, before she can proceed another voyage, will
have to go into dock to have the damage repaired.
CHARGE OF THE HEAVY DRAGOONS AT
WATERLOO.—At this critical and awful moment Lord
Uxbridge galloped up ; the three regiments of cavalry
were in the most masterly style wheeled into line, and
presented a most beautiful front of about 1,300 men ;
as his Lordship rode down the line be was received by
a general shout and cheer from the brigade. After
having taken a short survey of the force and threates-
ing attitude of the enemy, and finding the Highland
brigade, although still presenting an unbroken front,
upon the point of being on both sides outflanked by an
immense superiority of numbers, his Lordship deter-
mined upon a charge, which, for the wonderful
completeintrepi-
siynever surpassed. The
success, has rarely
Royals appeared to take the lead, while the Greys pre-
served
a beautiful line at speed, more to the left over
the cross road, near which their brave chief, Colonel
Hamilton, fell. The charge was, splendid. The French
completely broken, the eagles of the 45th and 105th
and its
taken, and near 3,000 prisoners swept away to the rear
by the Inniskillingers.--illaxwell's Victories of the Bri-
tish Army.
ARTAXERXES.—This opera was written and
composed by Dr. Arne about the year 1762, some
twenty-four years after he set Milton's Comus to music.
Miss Brent was the original Mandane, and the cele-
brated Tenducci was the Artaxerxes, for whom Arno ex-
pressly composed the beautiful song
In Infancy," in
the key of C (for Tenducci was of the Velluti school),
and which Madame Vestris rendered so popular when
she sung it a few years since.
PROVINCIAL.—The news from the country is
neither abundant nor very interesting. The most no-
ticeable incident in the agricultural districts, besides the
occasional record of a prolific potatoe, a dahlia show,
and things of this kind, is this, that while the land-
lords are feasting with the farmers, the labourers are
helping themselves to everything they can lay hands on,
though a preference is evidently given to mutton, for
what is vulgarly called sheep-stealing. goes on with asto-
nishing activity in almost every part of the country.
