60,0001. is bequeathed to a Noble Marquis, payable out of
a particular stock in the Bank ; but in which stock there is
found to exist only 10,0001. standing in the deceased's
name. A question, we hear, is likely to arise, whether the
Noble legatee is compelable to take this latter sum in full
of his demand, or whether he is not entitled to claim the
difference from the other ample funds of his liberal bene-
factress.

the south.—Paris Paper.

The excavations at the Forum of Rome, ordered
by Government, have, it is said, ascertained the precise
position of the Tribune, from which the orators harangued
the people. It has hitherto been supposed to have been
in the centre of the Forum ; but it appears now to be
proved that it stood at the foot of the Capitol. All that
has now been cleared, appears to agree perfectly with the
descriptions of the historians and the ancient medals. The
arch of Septimus Severus is on one side, and that of Titus
and the Colosseum in front.

Mr. C. Kemblers first appearance on the stage was
at the opening of the new Drury-Lane Theatre, on April
21, 1794, when John Kemble played Macbeth, Palmer
Macduff, Wroughton Banquo, Mrs. Siddons Lady Macbeth,
and C. Kemble Malcolm. Old Bannister was Hecate, and
Moody, Dodd, and Suett the witches. It is remarkable
that there is not a single principal performer in the tragedy
now alive. C. Kemble has risen from Malcolm to Macbeth,
and has outlived them all. It is now somewhat more than
40 years since he first came upon the stage as a boy.

An elopement took place in Dublin within the last
few days which has caused, as all such " affairs" do, a
great sensation in the fashionable coteries, the niece of a
Conservative Irish Nobleman with a Gentleman distin-
guished as a vocalist in the metropolitan cathedrals. They
were married privately, and the fugitive pair fled some thirty
or forty miles northward after the ceremony, but deemed it
better to return once more to their " happy home," but not
of " halters free" as your Cockney friends would call them.
An arrangement to the satisfaction of all parties will shortly
be entered into, it is to be hoped.
DOVER, DEC. 3.—This day between twelve and
one o'clock a considerable portion of the cliff beyond
Smith's Folly gave way, and killed a lad named John Toms,
aged about thirteen years, on the spot. Two men who
were pitching dung into a waggon belonging to Mr. Mat-
son, of Sole Farm, were seriously injured by the chalk fall-
ing on them. One, named Sawkins, had his leg and thigh
broken ; the other, named Tunbridge, received considerable
internal injuries. We hear neither of the poor men are
considered out of danger. A mighty bar is thrown across
our harbour by the violence of the late south-westerly
gales, and the action of the still mightier waves. Not a
vessel can enter into or depart from this harbour. On Sun-
day all the passengers were compelled to go to Deal to
to embark for the Continent.—Kentish Gazette.
