As a bit of foreign intelligence, which may not
perhaps be devoid of all interest, and especially to
English tourists, it is said that a new region for gambling
has been discovered in Switzerland, not far from the spot
that inspired Lord Byron with his well-known " Prisoner
of Chillon." This great discoverer is said to be M. Mires,
who intends to erect a roulette table on the shores of the
Lake of Geneva. The floating fortunes of M. Mires would
seem at last to have found their element where the for-
tunes of others may float with his own.

A deputation of the British community resident
in Brussels had an interview with the burgomaster,
requesting h s support for the erection of a place of wor •
ship where the rites of the English church would be per-
formed exclusively, and without any dependence upon
other communities who heretofore Lave shared the same
chapel, and have eonsequ ,ntly c used great inconvenience
