We can assure our readers, on indisputable
authority, that the cholera is regarded in the Au.trian and
Prussian capitals with comparative indifference, and that
the strongest feeling is indignation against those weak
men who have endeavoured to render it a stalking-horse
for popular alarm; and at St. Petershurgit, according to
advices of the 22d of last month, the cholera, had sub-
sided, after carrying off 1,701 individuals, nut of a po.
pulation of 461,000 ! Would none of t• es.• have di..d a
natural death during the ten weeks of this choleric inflic.
tion?—Athenceum.

Among numberless anecdotes of BONAPAnTE,
recorded by the Duchess of ABRANTTS, is the followinz :
—One day having passed a joke rather too keenly upon
the First Consul, pinching her no ,e most droidtoilv, he
said, " You are witty, you little plague ; hut you are also
malicious. Do not be so, for a woman always loses her
charms when she becomes an object of dread."

The most striking instance of improvisatore
is that of BARTHELEMY, wlso was a poet from his in-
fancy, and who, on his trial for publishing " Le File de
l'Homme," defended himself in an admirable speech en-
tirely in verse, and adorned throughout with a high order
of poetical imagery.
The celebrated Bush at Staines, so many
years the resort of his late MAJESTY when Prince of
WALES, is in the act of being pulled down, preparatory to
the approaching opening of the new bridge.
On a placard affixed near the menagerie of the
Royal Garden at Paris are these words—" For the preser-
vation of the animals,'people are forbidden to give them any
thing to eat."7-Paris in London.

A French newspaper contained lately very in-
teresting news :—" Mr. THOMAS 19 not dear!, but continues
to sell flannel as before."--Paris in London.

A romantic individual was asked why he
shewed greater attachment to a very thin lady than to ano—
ther who was more lusty. "It is," said he, " because I
am nearer her heart."

The Russian Autocrat has fallen on his knees
and prayed to Heaven :—" Kill them ! kill all the Poles!
exile them, and confiscate their property—and grant an
amnesty to the remainder."—Le Corsaire.
JAMES 1., in a capricious mood, threatened
the LORD MAYOR with removing the seat of royalty, the
meetings of Parliament, &c., from the capital. " Your
MAJKSTY, at least," replied the MAYOR, " will be graci-
ously pleased to leave us the river Thames."
Last week the widow of the unfortunate Lord
EDWARD FITZGERALD died at hot lodgings in the rue
Richopanse. She was the daughter of the late Countess DE
GENUS, and after the melancholy fate of her first husband,
married M. Pascatue, who survives her.—FrcnehPaper.
An eminent printseller in London has ob.
served, that since the suspicion of the QUEEN having op-
posed the Reform Bill, the sale of engraved portraits; of
her 211.A.T.Esry has diminished at his shop from 'thirty or
forty per week to two or three.—Kent Herald.
A young mail, lately ballotted for the militia,
declared he would be hanged rather thau serve. " There
is no necessity," replied a friend, ‘, that you should be
hanged ; it is quite sufficient if you are drawn and
quartered.'"
We learn from Pisa, that on the 15th ult.,
FRANCRSCA AMEIIIISSE, eldest daughter of the late King
of HAYTI, died in that city after a few days' illness. She
was in her 31st year, and had rendered herself universally
beloved for her numerous amiable qualities.
A farmer named KING, who resided at 1331..
lyconnell, near Abbey Dorney, Las been committed to
Tralee gaol, on a charge of he.ving feloniously violated the
person of a married woman, the wife of a labouring man,

A I-lighlandman had occasion to call on a

The Otter day a medical man, being invited
to take tea in a respectable house at Paris, was told that
the company wouicl be composed merely of strangers. " I
don't care," replied he, " to be in company with men
who are Turks, Arabs, Germans, French, Enclist,, or
Spaniards, if they are ill-....it is all what I want."--.Paris
in London.

FEMALE SovErinGss.—The question as to
the competency or incompetency of females to exercise
Sovereign authority has been often mooted. Mrs. JAME.
SON'S entertaining volumes, " Memoirs of Celebrates' Female
Sovereigns," will go far to settle this disputed point. It is
true that females rarely acquire surreptitious power with-
out abusing it. The feminine instruments of political
crime have,. however, not been Queens gifted in their own
right with supreme authority, but the mistresses, the in-
triguing wives, or mothete of Kinge—the POMPADOURS,
the HENRIETTAS, ei4ke CAWHERINES DE MEDICI.
We h,3 \e heard of a titled widow, residing

place herself in the stAte of a garrison about to sustain a
siege, and is laying in stores of provisions, &c. preixtra.',ory
to forming a teimplete self-Idoeltede.
The holders of ginger and Ca)nenn.:., pepper
complain of the Faculty far not giving them a lift upon
the present occasion. They contend that those com,no-
dities will warm the intestines quite as efficaciously, and
do lest permanent injury to the constitution than so much
brandy.
