The tides along the western and northern coasts of
France continued to rise to a great height on the Usth and
26th inst., but did not occasion any damage of impo:tanee,
far as we have learned, notwithstanding that many Masters
a
had been apprehended. This is attributed to the pre, niencie
of steady easterly winds keeping the water back, partictriar I
in the Channel.
The Queen will return to Windsor either on FridaY
or Saturday next, and after remaining a fortnight will go t!'
Brighton, returning again to the Castle the week previous I:
Ascot races. The stables are being got in readiness for the

considerable reduction has been made in the establishment.--

SCANDINAVIAN VALOUR.—In the fa ITIO-- 3 ,
between Svend of Denmark and Hacon Jarl of Norway, in„tine
bay of Bergen, the Jomsvikingr, commanded by their chietta_.
Sigvald, had joined the expedition and shared in the total ove l
throw of the Danes. Of their number seventy alone remains,u_'
alive, and, disdaining to flee, they were brought before f!1
triumphant Jarl, who ordered their heads to be struck off 16
his own presence, that he might see whether their boasted for-
titude would desert them on this trying occasion. Several of
them who first presented themselves to the axe died not okly
without evincing signs of fear, but jeering and insulting their
enemies. One gaily grasped a knife in his hand, to solve the
problem, which he said had been often discussed in Jomsborgy
whether or not the decapitated body lost all sense instanta-
neously. Another desired Thorkill, the executioner, to strike
the blow directly in his face, that it might be seen whether he
winked, or betrayed the slightest emotion on receiving the
fatal stroke. The next, a young warrior named Sigurd, of
prepossessing form, with fair ringlets clustering down
shoulders, advanced with intrepid air, beseeching them not to.
lead him like a sheep to the slaughter. " All I ask is," he
exclaimed, " that no slave shall touch my locks, and that they
shall not be defiled with my blood ; but let one of these nobly
Janis hold them back with his hands from my neck." One of
Flacon's attendants performed the office accordingly ; but, a 5
the axe was about to descend, the captive suddenly drew back
his head, so that the unwary courtier had both his hands lopped
off by the blow. t, Who of these boys," said the youth taunt-
ingly, " has his hands dangling in my hair ?" Erik, the son or
Hacon, charmed with the dauntless bearing of the youth, on hear"
ing his name and family, was moved to intercede for his pardon.
