MA R YLEBO N E.—Sir Samuel Whalley, Mr.
Ye Ing, Sir William Hall, and Lord Teinmouth, all stand
fir Alarylebune, four Reformers of different grades, and ono
Tory. The only chance for the Tory is to be found in the
splitting of the Reform interest : the only danger for the Re-
f, r.ncis is in supporting the weakest instead of the strongest
of the candidates. We put aside the question of merit alto-
gether—we have been anxitnia to ascertain who is the most
likely to concentrate the greatest in opposition to the Tories.
We are quite convinced that in this point of view the two men
to Le supported are Sir Samuel Whalley and Mr. Hall,
wl.ose conduct in Parliament has entitled both to the support
of all Reformers.
A INT. Durocher, who went to Capri to make
searches, at his own expense, for buried remains of the ancient
arts, has been rewarded by the discovery of a bust of Virgil
marble, in perfect preservation, and exhibiting a most beautiful
specimen of Roman sculpture. Its authenticity is verified by
the name of the Roman poet being engraved at the bottom.
It is said to bear a most striking resemblance to the features of
Talma, particularly when expressing the melancholy traits of
Hamlet or Orestes. M. Durocher, on being presented to the
King of Naples, and thanking him for his protection, ventured
to recommend his Majesty to continue the excavations at Capri,
bt lag convinced that they would produce treasures as valuable
as those found at Herculaneum or Pompeii.
On Wednesday morning a magnificent steam-ship,
the finest vessel of that description ever built in Great Bri-
tain, and which has excited great interest in the porti, was
launched from Patteraon and Mercer's Wharf, Bristol, with-
out the h'a-t accident. She was christened by Mrs Mil a

The Journal du IJavre states, that on Wednesday,
as the Custom-house officers were examing the baggage of the
passengers of a steam-boat from London, they found concealed
in the false bottom of a trunk several proclamations addressed
by the Duke of Normandy to the French people. The police
mmed'at.ly took possession of them, as well as of several
addressed to Legiti:natists of distinction. One of the letters,
it is said, was addressed to the Prince Royal of Prussia. The
pAsst;:•pa-.lr to whom the trunk belonged was conveyed to prison,
until tLe decision of the authorities is known.
In counequence of the late unpleasan' circumstance

A CUIIIOUs INSTANCE OF SUPERSTITION.—
As we were procnding on our course, a small car,o! came
alongside, containing an old woman, the mother of a man of
colour nanvo.l John Thomas, who had acted in the capacity
steward on b)ai d the Q:torra. She had a small quantity of
fish with he:. We d'd not st ty for her, but threw a trifling
d tsh into her cano at whhh the old lady appeared ve-y much
hart, and began to cry most piteously. M.-. Land r feeling
hurt at her situa-ion, determiLed to reconduct h, r to Eggs
(Norte country), oltich was her native land, as sorn as we re-
turned thither. A circumstanc:" occurred to this poor woman,
which is stro.,glr characte istic rf blind superstit on of the
natives of this Fart of Afriea. This poorerrecanturer_imagined
that she possessed a maybong (charm), which d,d her
in-
vulnerable :0 alledge-tools and cutting instrumen's. So po-
sitive and co..vineed was she in the efficacy of her tit rr, that
she voluntarily asseaud to hold her lt-g whilst some person
should strike it v,it!i an axe. The Ki.ig (or chief) of Ler town,
on hearing this, determined to try the p-kvcr of her charm,
and de'i.ed a man to take an axe, and see w:7.9ther this won-
derful niaghotty would protect her from its effects; consider-
ing that if it did so, such a charm would be of great advantage
in war. Her leg was laid on a block, and a powerful blow.
was given below the knee. The result of which was as might
have been expected. To the poor woman's great horror, and
the terror of all present, her leg flew to the other side of the
room. But she survived it, and now crawled about on her
knees. I determined on making application at Fernando
for a wooden on for the poor creature, as soon as we returitld.
