The late Admiral Sir IL Blackwood (I believe)
happened once, after dinner in London, to relate an anecdote
of a leopard which used nightly to lei the wall of a farm-
yard at Barconrah, and as regularly dry back a sheep with
him. Some of his hearers appearing sceptical, the Gallant
Admiral applied to an Old Indian Officer at table, (who knew
the fact, from being on the spot at the time) for corroboration.
Imagine his surprise, on receiving for answer, " My dear Sir,
I have really no recollection of the circumstance." Some
few days after, Sir H., meeting his friend accidentally, de-
manded of him how he possibly could have forgotten the oc-
currence ?. " Admiral," replied the cautious Indian, " I had
a perfect recollection of it, but I make it a rule in England
never to authenticate any story having for its hero a lion,
tiger, or leopard, or in any form connected with hunting in
India—no one ever believes you. Sporting Magazinc,

Madame Marie Laetitia Bonaparte died at Roma, at one
o'clock in the morning of the 2d of th's month. She was
born on the 24th of August, 1750, at Ajaccio, of the Ra-
malini family, and had lived at Rome ever since 1814.
From the time of her fall at the Villa Borghese she had
lost the use of her limbs, and half reclined, night and day,
upon a couch ; her eye sight had failed her for several
years past ; she took very little share in the passing events
of the world, and admitted to her society only a small
number of intimate friends. A lady constantly watched by
her side, and M. Robaglia, her secretary, once an officer
in the old Guard, used to read the journals to the august
invalid, to speak to her of france, and to make her live
again in the times gone by. Her appearance gave a
painful impression to the few visitors who were ad-
mitted to her palace ; her frame had become so atten-
uated that life seemed almost extinct ; and yet, at the
name of France, of the Emperor, of her children, the oc-
togenarian lady revived, there seemed to be thrones still
around her, there was still a powerful voice on her lips,
and the lightning of Napoleon's look in her eyes. Ever
since the fall of the Emperor, the mother whose children
had mounted so many thrones, had received no other news
from her family than those of mourning. The last blow
that struck her was the death of the Princess de Montfort,
to whom she was particularly attached. Few women have
had so many favours of fortune heaped upon 'them, and
few have had to drink more deeply the dregs of the cup of
misfortune. On the 27th of January she fell into a cold
stupor that alarmed her devoted friends. Cardinal Fesch,
her . brother, was summoned ; a slight amelioration took
place after two or three days ; the sacraments were,. how-
ever, administered ; her malady returned with redoubled
violence on the Ist of this month, and on the 2d she ex
Aired, retaining her faculties to the last, and sinking to rest
calmly and peaceably. She, the woman who had produced
Napoleon, died in solitude and in exile, but at the foot of
the Capitol.

‘'Commt e • s been appointed will not e-
iews of the rabid Tories. Many of the names in it
thy opposed to O'Connell, but we have the most
infidence in their love of justice. Lord Francis
for instance, thought a Tory, posseszes, we believe,
sense of honour to wish to countenance any injustice
is a political opponent ; and we are sure that a liberal and
generous landlord like his Lordship will be the last man to
wish to screen from the public gaze the unfeeling oppressors.of
the Irish peasantry. The Committee will probably appoint
as their Chairman Mr. Ridley Colborne, a gentleman
of great experience in the House, and of a respect..
able old English family. The numbers are, as far as party is
concerned, pretty fairly adjusted; but we confess we should
hope for justice even from the party least favourabloii to Mr.
O'Connell, as far as lie is concerned. However, his part of
the affair is now next to nothing—he is acquitted. But the
people of England look for the condemnation of very diffe-
rent parties. Their•cause is about to be conducted before the
Committee, and we are sure that Toryism will receive a blow
from the exposures which must be made, from which it will
not soon recover. Well might Sir Robert Peel seek to wash
his hands of all participation in what must be so injurious to
the party to which he is attached.—Morning Chronicle.

The conduct of Mr. O'Connell, in regard to his bar-
gain with Mr. Raphael, •to seat that gentleman for
the county of Carlow, again occupied the attention of
the House of Commons last night. We have not
room to-day for any detailed notice of the discussion.
Mr. Hardy brought forward the case in an exceed-
ingly clever and sensible speech. He stated, as will
be seen by our Parliamentary report, merely so much
of apparent culpability on the part of Mr: O'Connell as
the Honourable and Learned Member's own letters to
Mr. Rap!wet exhibit ; but Mr. Harly's comments were
searchingly shrewd, his illustrations admirably appro-
priate, hiS inferences convincing and conclusive, and
his humour and sarcasm very felicitous. With over-
whelming materials Mr. Hardy mercifully used no
more than were absolutely necessary to justify his mo-
tion. Our readers will derive much pleasure from a

perusal of his speech. Mr. O'Connell never, not even upon
his motion for the Repeal of the Union, made so dead a failure
as he made last night. He talked upon every imaginable
topic but the specific accusation he was called upon to meet,
making, however, towards that, in the course of what be said,
just so many close approaches, every now and then, as must
have brought to the recollection of nearly all his hearers,
the lines—

" Never by tumbler through the hoops was shown
Such skill in passing ALL and touching NONE."
One part of his Speech, the only part we shall notice, was re-
markably curious. It regarded his introduction to Mr. Raphael.
It appears from his statement, that Mr. C. Peason first applied
to Mr. O'Connelhfor a seat for 'Mr. Raphael. Mr. O'Connell
said " he had never heard of the man before ;" and he added,
that up to the time at which he recommended " the
man" to the electors of Carlow, he had never heard
anything to " the man's disparagement." This statement
was, of course, merely a mistake • • for, 'in another part
of his speech, Mr. O'Connell defended himself for having re-
commended Mr. Raphael to the electors of Carlow, after being
cautioned that he was a " faithless creature," &c. Mr. O'Con-
nell took great credit to himself for not listening to the " ca-
lumniators" of,. Mr. Raphael, as, he says, he thought them then
to be, though he still admitted that he had no personal know-
ledge of " the man." Ile justified his turning a deaf ear to
what these calumniators of Mr. Raphael said, on the ground
that he himself had been the subject of calumny, and knew
what " liars" calumniators were. Here Mr. O'Connell's
recaection failed him. The parties who so cautioned
him against Mr. Raphael were not persons of the ellss
he last night described them to be of, or he d'd not
write the truth when he told the Carlow people, in his
reply to Mr. Raphael's address, that his cautionists
were ‘• honest and experienced men." Is it not passing
strange, too, that, knowing nothing of " the man," he should
—even though so generous as to despise the calumnies against

him, and so,-disinte-rested as to hold his money to the extent of
2,oool.—have recommended him to the Carlow people as his
" excellent friend?" Is it not still more strange, that; he
should have used respecting this man, of whom he knew no-
thing, except that others—" honest and experienced" persons
—had cautioned him that " the creature" was " faithless,"
and "one with whom no one ever had a dealing without being
sorry for it"—this language of high-flown panegyric, " I can
and do recommend my excellent friend Mr. Raphael to the
electors of the county of Carlow ? a
I pledge myself that Mr. Raphael deserves, and will jus-
tify the choice, of the brave and honest men the
county of Carlow?" If Mr. O'Connell should give such a
character to a servant, upol no other knowledge than he had
of Mr. Raphael, and the servant should turn out ill—" a
mighty great liar" for instance, or "the greatest of all imaginable
vagabonds,"—he would find himself in a very awkward pus.-
Lion, and if it could be proved that he had touched any of the
servant's money, we suspect that a magiStrate would fine him
in the full penalty, notwithstanding his protestations of pe-
cuniary purity. For the rest, Mr. O'Connell's speech was
of qiiite as rambling, and unsatisfactory, and irrelevant a
nature as Fieschi's, which we publish is another co-
lumn, and having to find room for both, we have no
space at present for further observations on either.
The discussion ended in the appointment of a Select
Committee "to inquire into the circumstances at-
tending the traffic and agreement -alleged to have taken
place between Mr. Daniel O'Conhell and Mr. Alexander Ra-

!J. hel, touching the nomination and return of Mr. Alexander
Raphael as one of:the representatives for the county of Carlow
at the last election, and into the application of the monies said
to have been received, together with the circumstances under
which it was received and expended, and to report the minutes
of evidence taken before them, with their observations thereon."
The Committee consists of the following Members :—Mr. R.
Colborne, Lord F. Egerton, Mr. Bannerman, Mr. Barneby,
Sir R. Forgusson, Sir J. Y. Buller, Mr. Ord ( Newcwfe),
Sir C. Broke Verc, Mr. Warburton, Sir E. Wilmot, and Mr.
Ward. Ihe nominee for Mr. O'Connell is Serjeant Wilde ;
the nominee on the other side Sir F. Pollock.—Tines.
