AN INC/DENT.—The following is from a late
number of the Char/es/on Courier t--" Numerous charac-
teristic incidents are told as having occurred to the Volunteers
during their sojourn among the swamps and hommocs in
Florida. It is related that dun Odd occasion, when the Mouth
Carolina Regiment wtts orcle.fed to ridtanee km the encamp-
ment at Spring Gardens, our yotin totimStnthi; Ashby, wily
commanded a company of back woodsartien. Was ordered to
scour a certain hommoc, and take post at a ;fifth point
therein. Having executed the order, the Colonel appeetessi
in sight, at the head of other companies, riding from point to
point with his usual impetuosity. The young officer, either
forgetting the order, or perhaps impatient to be engaged,
called out, " Colonel, here we are; where shall we go now ?"
"Go to the Devil 1" roared out the Colonel. " Attention
men !" cried Ashby, " you have heard the order. Forward I
this must be the wog."
Mr. Forrester, whose absconding front London with
property to a considerable amount has bean frequently no.
ticed, was overtaken at Brest on the 22d inst. On !eat*.
London he came to Havre, under the assumed name of Rey-
nolds. He was unacquainted with the French leuguage, but
after wandering about Normandy and Brittany for scad 'hare,
undecided as to what course he should take, made his way to
Brest. Here he was traced, and at length overtaken by two
or three persons accompanied by a London police officer with
a warrant. With the assistance of M. Cathelain, a commis-
sary of police at Brest, they laid hands on Mr. Forrester, two
hours after his arrival at the Grand Monarque Hotel. He
strenuously denied that he was the person they were in pursuit
of, and showed a passport he had obtained at Rennes in the
name of Charles Reynolds. The English Vice-Consul was
applied to, but declined interfering officially, as he had no
power in such cases. He, however, interrogated Mr. Forres-
ter very closely, but obtained nothing from him but denials of
his identity. Overcome at length by the perseverance of the
parties and the threats they held out of forcing him back to
England, whence he could not fail of being transported to
Botany Bay, he at length gave way, and promised to deliver
up all that remained of the sum he brought away, and which
was 110,000 francs, if he was left at liberty. This was not
only assented to, but the parties allowed him to retain 100/.
to take with him to America, where he might have the chance
of once mere becoming an honest man. They also left him
every thing he had purchased with the ill gotten money, in-
cluding a complete set of fishing tackle, which is said to be
very costly.
An incident, at once painful and ludicrous, occurred
at the Palais de Justice. An unhappy maniac, about forty
years of age, well dressed, and having an air of respectability,
went from one of the door-keepers to another, ordering them
to set Prince Polignac at liberty, and informing them, in a
nhisper, that Leopold and his family were to be hanged on the
following day. At one of the door-keeper's lodges he placed
his hat on a chair, and rushing into the Salle de Pas Perdus,
seized a counsellor, twisted his cravat round his neck, and de-
clared that " the hydra of tyranny must be strangled." Some
of the persons who witnessed this scene seized the poor fellow,
and conducted him before a commissary of police, who recog-
nised in him the Belgian who some time ago disturbed the
proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies during a discussion
upon a petition for the liberation of the ex-Ministers, by at-
tempting to read from the gallery an address in their favour.—
Galignani.
It appears that M. Carrel had a strong presentiment
of his fate. He was deeply impressed with a dream he had
on Tuesday night, which had such an effect upon him that,
although he never before thought of making his will, even
when he was going to fight a duel, he passed the greater part
of Thursday night in making his will, and settling his affairs,
which he did with astonishing presence of mind and accuracy.
His body is only temporarily deposited in the burying-ground
of St. Mande. The town of Rouen, where be was born, has
desired to have it removed there ; where also a monument will
be erected to his memory. A bust of the deceased, by M.
David, of the Institute, who executed those of Chateaubriand
and De Lamartine, is to be made for the town of Rouen. M.
Eugene Brissault has announced that he has ceased to have
any connection with the Journal La Presse, of which M.
Emile de Girardin, is the responsible editor.
In the commune of Carentoir, in the Morbilian, a
mad wolf, that came out of the forest of La Bourdonnaye,
entered a farm, lately, and mutilated the whole of the family.
This horrible accident caused a kind of insurrection amongst
the peasants. M. de La Bourdonnaye having opposed the
feeding of their cattle in the forest, the peasants imagined
that he had brought some wolves from Paris to guard his
property, and that five of them were mad. Upon this they
set fire to the forest; but the damage was fortunately confined
to about 40 acres.
NEW PARLIAMENT HOUSES.--" I have held
architecture in suspicion," said Col. Thompson, " ever since I
saw the pyramids. It is always a proof, that there were one
sst of men who planned and amused themselves, and another
set who paid. Examine any country or any age, and in pro-
portion to the servility or corruption of the people will be the
splendour of the public buildings. Sometimes the presiding
power has been religious, sometimes political ; but it is always
manifest there has been a caste, which has had the faculty of
taking the people's money, and giving them a stone. Ro-
mantic gentlemen are enraptured with ancient recollections.
It might have been thought that these would have in some
sort balanced. I wonder how many Acts of Parliament will
be mended by these acme recollections."
JERSEY HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION.—ThiS
exhibition on Wednesday last, notwithstanding the very unfa-
vourable state of the weather, attracted a numerous company,
including nearly all the fashion and beauty of Jersey. The
different articles were arranged, with considerable taste and
judgment, by Mr. Hodges and assistants, and the whole pre-
sented a most agreeable and gratifying sight. The specimens

Petitions for a separate Lieutenancy for the North
Division of Lincolnshire, are in progress of ;signature in
various parts of Lindsey, and we are happy to perceive are
subscribed by all classes, as if the question was quite distinct

the case.--Lincoln Gazette.
FEMALE BEAUTY.—The long-pending wager has
been at length decided, and Ross has had the honour allaying
conferred on it the triumphal wreath of the goddess of beauty.
A gentleman of fortune and accomplishments, from the neigh-
bourhood of Newry, deputed as one of the judges, no sooner
beheld our Ross fair one than he became smitten, and the con-
sequence is, that she has consented to be led by him to the
Hymeneal altar, in a few days. But the best of the affair is,
that the lady in question was quite unconscious that she was
the object of such general admiration, until her hand and
heart were claimed by the above gallant gentleman.— TVex-
ford Conservative.
Should the failure of the wheat crop in the United

The Rev. Joseph Woolf, the Missionary, on his
way to Tinibuctoo, arrived at Cosseir from Suez in the Hugh

and then cross the Red Sea to the coast of Abyssinia. —Malta

pure at the last contest ; but in the petition they
admit that they knew they might receive money,
and «in a great many instances" -it "had been
eifred I" The number of petitioners on this pe-
tition is only 407, of whom 45 arc not on the
register. Thus the petition is only signed by 362
electors, or • one-fourth of the constituency. Very
artfully a few only of the GronOw voters have
been allowed to iiing the petition. But if the
petitioners were pure (comparatively) at the last con-
test, the evidence singularly exposes their corruption
and corruptibility in 1831 and 1832 ; for on collating
their names and descriptions with the evidence, more
than two-thirds of the petitioners (electors) viz. about
250, are proved to have been bribed ! The result of
the investigation is, that of 850 old burgesses, the fol-
lowing numbers were bribed at the respective elections
inquired into by their Lordsli:ps
1831—Bribed electors
!
1831... Bribed electors ........... 60
.... .
1835...8ribed electors •,, lB,
Of the entire old burgess constituency of 850 freemCn
surviving on the present register, only 152 electors are
not tainted in one or more of those contests, and of
that number a majority are implicated as bribers, and
in the most wanton treating after the tcste of the writs.
The Lord Chancellor, however, with some discrimina-
tion, distinguished the class of householders, of whom
10 only are proved to have baen bribed in 1831, 87 in
1832, and six in 1835. As, therefore, there is a ten-
pound constituency of nearly six hundred elec;ors dis-
tinct from the old profligate burgesses, Lord Clanri-
carde has now limited his second Bill to the extinction
of the latter. We shall see whether Lord Ashburtaa
respect" extends to these incorrigible corruPtionists.
In the meanwhile, the Commons will suspend the writ,
and cannot have a better ground of contention with
the Lords than on the
subject
of the purity and fur-
ther reform of the
representation. Lord Clanricarde
merits no common praise for his perseverance and abi-
lity in this disg • busting ease of corruption.—Morning
Chronicle.

FIASTINGS.—On Wednesday last several inliabi-
tants met at the Town Hall, his Worship the Mayor in the
chair, to raise a fund for a steam-boat to ply regularly betyrecs
Hastings and London.
At Wakefield, political affairs seem to be absorlud

The cod-fishing on the north coast of Sutherland
