It is not true'that Lady BYRON secludes her.
self from all society, and " retires to remote villages on her
landing." Her Ladyship may be said certainly to live In" her
" frail bark," but it is for the restoration of her health, which
is seriously affected. It was only a few days since her Lady-1
ship was enjoying the society of a female friend at a populous
part of our coast, not many miles distant from hence.—(Can-
terbury Paper.)
LAW OF NATIONS.—The Court of Cassation
at Paris has lately decided a point of some importance to yes-
seis approaching the colonial dominions of France. In former
times, regulations forbad every vessel to approach the coasts of
the colonies nearer than one league. Lately, M. Lardenoy,
Governor of Gaudaloupe, extended this restriction to three.
Six English vessels—the Anne, Sarah, charlotte, Tenzer,
Bella, anal For, and one American vessel, were detained under
this oraer, and condemned as good prizes by the Colonial
Authorities. But this decision was annulled on the 25th of
November 1824, in consequence of requisition of the Minis-
ter of Marine. Afterwards a French vessel, the Adele, re-
turning from St. Thomas's to Martinique, was seized within
three leagues of Guadeloupe, and confiscated. Against the
confiscation the owners appealed, and the question was to
ascertain if M. Lardenoy was authorized to make the regulation
which the vessel had violated, and if the regulation of 1784,
commanding vessels that were coming into any of the ports to
make themselves known at the distance of three leagues, had
not been falsely applied by the Colonial Tribunal. After a
profound and luminous discussion, the Court decided that the
Colonial Legislature had wrongly applied the law of 1784, as
that was only applicable to vessels entering the ports, and had
no relation to vessels passing along the coasts pursuing their
voyage. It accordingly annulled the decision of t:►e Court
below.—(Courier Francais.)

PIGEON AMATEURS.—On Tuesday the LORD
MAYott was waited upon by a Frenchman, named Keijtux,
who presented to his Lordship a letter from the Amateurs of
Pigeons of the City of Verviers, in the Low Countries, wherein
they requested his Lordship to allow thirty-two pigeons, which
Keijeux had brought with him, to be let fly in the City on the
26th or 27th instant, between seven and eight in the morning.
Keijeux also informed the Lord Mayor that they had made
experiments to ascertain the utility of pigeons in modes of con-
veyance of intelligence from one country to another all over
the Continent, and he produced a certificate from the Mayor of
Calais corroborative of his statement, and which stated that
sixty-four pigeons were, on a certain day, dispatched from
Calais. The Lord Mayor could not, after the condescension of
the Mayor of Calais, refuse to give his certificate, which satis-
fied Keijeux, who yesterday morning repaired to the top of the
Mansion-house, at a little after eight o'clock, and let the whole
flock of pigeons out of his basket, at precisely twenty mi-
nutes after that hour. One of the flock flew away from the
right direction, but thirty-one flew off according to the wish of
Keijeux, who said they would doubtless reach the Netherlands
in five hours and a half, if he were to judge from their former
speed.

MR. GRAHAM'S ASCENT FROM BRISTOL.-111r.
Graham made his twenty-ninth ascent from Bristol, on Monday
afternoon, accompanied by Mr. Robert Jillard, from the Gas
Company's works in St. Phillip's, at eight minutes before five
o'clock. The fineness of the day caused several thousands of
persons to assemble around the spot, and on the adjacent
heights. The balloon rose majestically, and continued in sight
for nearly an hour, when it grounded in a field at Midsomer
Norton, about nine miles from Bath, At five minutes after six
o'clock, in perfect safety.—( Bath Paper.)

MODERN TRAVELLING ACCOMMODATION.—
Some of the coach proprietors in this city having advertised the
fares from hence to Teignmouth, " 2s. inside, is. outside, or
what you please," Mr. Congdon, of the hotel, one of those
who did not publish any such proposal, on Tuesday last actu-
ally gave a party of tradesmen, who were about to start from
his house for the above place, a sumptuous breakfast; promis-
ing them also, if they were not perfectly satisfied, that they
shoal have a handsome supper supplied to them on their return
in the evening. This is a realization of what is likely to please,
and a charbig prospect on the road._ (Exeter Alfred.)
