VISIT OF THZ BAND OP THE FRENCH GUIDES TO
THE BANK, TOWER, &c.—YesterdaY morning, about 11
o'clock, most of the members of the Band of the French
Regiment of Guides proceeded in omnibuses—specially
retained for the service—to visit the Bank, the Royal
Exchange, the Tower, and the Docks, in all of which
createdt they

they
were
loudly cheered, and their salutations in return evinced
a pure reciprocity of feeling. Many by preference went
aloft, and they, consequently, became the admired and
the admirers. It was somewhat unfortunate, however,
that it was the first of November, and a true London
fog set in at mid-day to counterbalance the last and
finest day of October. The band are under orders to
return to Paris on Friday.
THE FRENCH GUIDES' BAND AT HIGHBURY BARN
TAVERN..---The reception which the above celebrated band
has met with from all classes during their brief sojourn
in the metropolis must indeed tend to cement still
stronger that excellent feeling which subsists between
France and England. Perhaps one of the handsomest
compliments that has been offered to this distinguished
corps is that of the Grenadier Band, the members of
which have invited them to a dinner and ball at the above
establishment, to take place to-morrow (Friday). Such
an expression of feeling on the part of Mr. Schott and
his talented body of artistes must be highly appreciated
by our French visitors. Mr. Hinton is making strenu-
ous exertions in order to give effect to the fete.
DEATH FROM CHOKlNG.—Yesterday, Mr. W. Baker,
received information respecting the death of a mariner,
named Thomas Taylor, aged 53 years, who died from
suffocation ; deceased was a man of intemperate habits.
On Tuesday night, shortly after 9 o'clock, he returned
home in a state of intoxication, and sat down with the
landlady to supper, which consisted of boiled mutton.
He had only been seated a few minutes, when a loud
gurgling noise was heard, and when the females in at-
tendance ran to him, they found him breathing with
difficulty, and quite black in the face. Mr. Garrett, the
surgeon, examined the deceased, and found a large piece
of meat firmly fixed in the gullet, whereby the deceased
had be oho! '& The body &Vigil as hatratst._
