The Moniteur does not publish any telegraphic dispatch
this morning,
A ropoft was, however, spread yesterday, that the Go-
verment had received information that Constantine was in
our possession on the 9th.
A paper this morning says that the news was considered
at the opera as nearly certain, and that the silence of the
Ministerial journal was accounted for by the circumstance
that the telegraphic despatch received yesterday did not
bring an official note from Constantine, but news that an
Arab, who had arrived at Ghclma, had declared that he
would be answerable with his head that Constantine was in
our possession on the 9th.

Another journal says that the news was transmitted to
the Ministry on the report of a captain of a ship from Bona,
who said that he had received it from an Arab who had
been sent with despatches from Constantine to Bona.—

CASE OF SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY.-At
the Oxford Quarter Sessions held on Tuesday, Oct. 17, a
true bill was found against Vincent Vaughan, Esq., of Bell
Hatch, and the Baron De Behr and Sir Wm. Deey, of
Spring-gardens, London, for conspiring to defraud Mr.
Allen, of Oxford, of 3,0001. A certiorari was immediately
lodged by the prosecutor with the Clerk of the Peace to
remove the proceedings to the next Spring Assizes for
Oxfordshire.
From the time that the Queensbery family removed
their residence from the far-famed manor-house of Ames-
bury, which was built by the celebrated Inigo Jones, it has,
with but little exception, up to the present remained unte-
nanted. This fine old building is about to be enlarged, to
suit the establishment of its present possessor. On Monday
Sir Edmund Antrobus delegated to his lady the pleasing
task of laying the first stone of the addition about to be
made to the mansion—a task which was peformed amidst
the applause of a numerous assemblage. The evenine, of
the day was, by the kindness of Lady Antrobus, rendered
a scene of much joyous gratification.—Salisbury Journal.
Major-General Napier, the Bishop of Nova Scotia,

On the 2d of November a deputation from the

Dr. Ainslie left his own house about 11 o'clock,
for the purpose of visiting a patient at Horndean Cottage,
which is situated on the north side of the Tweed. He ex-
perienced no difficulty in fording the river at that time, and
therefore on his return an hour afterwards he had no scruple
in crossing the river. During the interval, however, the
water had risen considerably, and the horse was speedily
obliged to swim ; the animal was unequal to the task, and
by some means disencumbered itself of the rider. The pe-
rilous situation of Dr. Ainslie was witnessed by Dr. Gilly's
groom, who conveyed an alarm to the village, a short dis-
tance off, and several persons immediately proceeded to the
spot. The on!y boat near the place was secured by a lock
and without oars, consequently there was no available
means of assistance at hand. The deceased floated about
400 yards, and then disappeared. Every exertion was im-
mediately used to procure the body, which however was
not found until Monday morning at two o'clock, at Green-
hill-ford, about a mile below the place where he was last
seen. Dr. Ainslie has been 16 years in the neighbourhood
of Norham, where he has enjoyed a very extensive prac-
tice, and was universally respected by all classes of the
community. He was 36 years of age, and has left a wi-
dow and five children. The place where the accident oc-
curred is the ford generally used on crossing the river, and
during the residence of the deceased at Norham, he must
have crossed it times almost innumerable. It is by no means
a safe passage, as a trifling deviation of the track leads into
deep water.—Berwick Advertiser.
FUNERAL OF COLONEL EELES AT WOOLWICH.
—The remains of the late gallant Colonel were conveyed
on Monday to their last resting-place in Charlton church-
yard. The men forming the Ist battalion of the Rifle Bri-
gade (of which the deceased officer had had the command)
expressed a wish that a hearse should be dispensed with,
and that, as a mournful tribute to his worth, they should
bear his remains to the final resting-place, upwards of a
mile and a halt In conformity with this desire, twenty-
four veterans were appointed to perform the melancholy
duty. The coffin, accompanied by the mourners and officers,
was carried into the church, the Rev. Arthur Drummond
reading the service with most impressive effect, the dirge
being played by the band of the Royal Artillery, and the
mortal remains of the late soldier, Colonel Eeles, was con-
signed to the earth, where the last military honours were
paid him by the thrice-pealing thunder of the rifles of the
corps he so long and zealously commanded, with the esteem
of his officers, and beloved by his men. The respective
corps returned in solemn silence to their quarters. The
spectacle was impressively grand. The picturesque appear-
ance of the procession, with the varying costume of the
military, strongly tinged it with dramatic effect. There
were several thousand spectators present, comprising the
nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood.
The practical joke of some of the Members seizing
a new Speaker, when chosen by the House of Commons,
lifting him off the floor, and thrusting him into the Chair,
though unworthy the gravity of the Senate, was practised
towards all Speakers previous to the election of Mr. Abbott
(the late Lord Colchester), who successfully resisted the
folly, and would not submit to it ; since which it has never
been attempted.
The watering places on the coast have not had such
fine weather and so long a season for years past as the pre-
sent. The influx of company has been very great, and the
inhabitants who let lodgings, and the houses of public resort
have seldom had so profitable a summer and autumn. At
the beginning of October, last year, there Was snow on the
ground a foot thick.
Half a pint of new milk, mixed with a wine-glass
full of the expressed juice of green horehound, taken every
morning, is said to be an effectual remedy for consumption
if resorted to in time. One who tried it says, " Four weeks
use of the horehound and milk relieved the pains of my
breast, enabled me to breath deep, long, and free, strength-
ened and harmonised my voice, and restored me to a better
of state than I had been in for years."
A Yorkshire paper states, that there was not one
applicant for relict at a meeting of the Overseers of the
township of Doncaster, on Friday last, but two applicants
for permission to quit the workhouse. Several cases of a
similar nature have occurred recently, in that part of the
country.

Some time ago, as; a labouring man named Roldeder
was at work at a limekiln in Tschirndorf, in Silesia, the
ground gave way under his feet, and the unfortunate man
was precipitated into the burning chasm, leaving no other
trace than a bluish flame Just above the spot where he had
disappeared. The limekiln was immediately extinguished
and emptied, but nothing was discovered of the victim of
this horrible accident except a tinder box, which he usually
carried in his pocket, and the iron heels of his boots!

have elapsed since that period.
Small bronze figures, said to be copies of the statue
of Joan of Arc, in the museum at Versailles, sculptured
by the Princess Marie, are now selling in the capital. The

they are spurious, and very poor imitations of the original
exquisite statue.—Galignani's Messenger—being a flatter-
ing improvement upon the courteous Journal des Debate.
