The temps denies that there is any foundation
for the intelligence given by the Constitutionnel
relative to increasing the sum allowed to the members of
the Institute, from 1,500 f. to 3,000 f. a-year. The Temps
asserts that not only is the alleged augmentation most un-
likely to take place, but that the majority of the members
are oppoEed to any advance, lest a pecuniary motive should
be assigned for seeking a place at prsent looked on at one
altogether of honour.

ZEUAOH.—The following
TRH BltEADALkiiriz P
caveat was lodged yesterday with the Sheriff Clerk
of Chancery :—Should a petition be presented by John
Alexander Gavin Campbell, Esq., of Glenfalloch or by any
other party, praying to be served nearest and lawful heir of
tailsie and provision, or in any other character, to the Most
Noble the Marquis of Bredalbane, who died on or about
the Bth day of November last, the subscriber craves to be
heard on behalf of Charles William Campbell, Esq., of the
19th Regiment of Bengal Cavalry, eldest son of the now
deceased Charles William Campbell, Esq., formerly residing
at. Boreland, and thereafter at No. 11, Howard-place, Edin-
burgh, the nearest lawful heir to the title and estates of
Breadalbane.—Henry Buchan, S.S.C. Edinburgh, Bth Jan.
1863," We understand this caveat is founded upon an al-
legation of illegitimacy against either the late Mr. Camp-
bell, of Glenfalloch, or his son.
SHOCKING STORY.—The Phare de la Loire pub-
lishes a letter from Cayenne, of Dec. 1, which states
that some days previously a boat manned by six convicts,
under the care of an inspector and a keeper, left the Isle La
Mere to earry two days' rations to some workman at the
Isle Le Pere, about a league distant. When some distance
from land the convicts fell upon the officers. The inspec-
tor, seeing resistance useless, jumped into the sea and swam
to land, but the unfortunate keeper, who eould not swim,
was murdered and thrown overboard. Boats were soon
sent in pursuit, but without success. It was subsequently
ascertained that the convicts landed at Maroni, and, after
wandering about for three days in a starving state, mur-
dered a negro, whom they found fishing in a boat, and ate
his body raw. It was reported that the murderers had
afterwards gone to Demerara, where they were arrested.
The Journal du Havre states that two of Admiral
Fitzroy's meterological despatches were posted up
at that port on Tuesday, announcing high southwest winds
for that day, accompanied by rain, and for Wednesday
winds varying from west to north and east, with a little
snow. The journal adds that as thou predictions are cal-
culated .for England, and as the columns of wind seldom
occupy a greater breadth than 30 or 40 kilometres, they
may not
tlprove entirely correct on the French side,of the
