FROM A CORRESPONDENT.—An English gentle.
man remarkable for his gallantry, has recently been paving '
his attentions to a young lady of the highest respectability,
great accomplishments, and amiable disposition, and niece
to a gallant officer, to whom, by the friends of the different
parties, arrangements were supposed to have been made for
their union, and between whom there appears no doubt to
have existed the most fervent affection—to the great sur-
prise of the friends of the much injured young lady, without
previous intimation, has contracted an alliance with an old
lady beyond the age of three score years and ten. This
mysterious and extraordinary mode of proceeding, it is said
from some cause or other, the gentleman was bound to
adopt. The circumstance, of course, will occupy further
attention.—Saunders' News Letter. [The origin of the
gentleman here alluded to is one to which we believe so
much mystery has always attached. The young Lady is
niece of General Sir A. —, and sister of the High Sheriff
of a Southern Irish County.]
TfTHE COMMUTATION ACT.—The favourable
working of this Act has seldom been more fully exemplified
than in the extensive and valuable parish of Henbury, near
Bristol, where a Meeting to consider of a commutation of
tithes was held on the 21st inst. The questions as to the
amount of rent-charge to be paid to the Vicar and to the
respective tithe-owners were fully discussed with that good
feeling and temper which are so desirable in meetings of
this kind. The discussion resulted in agreements with all
the tithe-owners except one, for rent charges, amounting to
1,5421. 4s. per annum ; and an offer of 2501. per annum
was made for the tithes at Charlton, for which 2751. was
required from the impropriator. Thus it appears that at
the first meeting for the consideration of the question, there
was a difference of only 251. per annum on Tithes amount-
ing to 1,8001. per annum, and it is probable that this small
difference will be adjusted at the adjourned meeting.—

A very curious case is recorded of feigned blindness
by Mahon, a French writer. A young conscript was sent
to a corps blockading Luxembourg. Having passed the
night at the advanced posts, he declared himself blind the
next day, and was sent to the hospital. The surgeons
used the most powerful remedies, and were convinced that
the disease was feigned, as the pupil contracted perfectly.
He assured them, however, that he could not see, thanked
them for their care of him, and asked for the application
of new remedies. He was sent to the superior' medical
officers of Thionville. They were also convinced that it
was a fraud, but hearing the course that was pursued, they
determined on a last trial. He was put on the bank of a
river, and ordered to walk forward. He did so, and fell
into the water, from which he was immediately taken by
two boatmen stationed for that purpose. Convinced of his
blindness, but unable to explain the dilations and contrac-
tions of the pupil, the surgeons gave him a discharge, but
warned him, at the same time, that if the disease was
feigned, it would prove of no avail, as it would sooner or
later be ascertained that he was not blind. They offered
him another if he would confess the fraud. He hesitated
at first, but being assured that they would keep their word,
he took up a book And read,--Foreign Quatterliy
