OVali confidence in the duratioti o 4 hiS- au-

of his obnoxious origin. Ai thtPi f!iYoe, however, he flat-
tered himself with the prospect of au LlT!',',.wre with the
Court of Wirtemberg. Some months ago our PPlcspa-
pers announced the match as a settled affair ; they eveil
stated that it would be officially communicated to the
Legislature on the return of the Duke of Orleans, who
was to proceed to Switzerland in order to have an in-
terview with his bride. It was but an intrigue, un-
known to the King of Wirtemberg, and contrived by two
Ladies of his Court, Mesdames de 13- and de L-,
and some confidants of the Tuileries. The King of Wir-
temberde eldest daughter is niece to the Emperor of
Russia ; she is one of the most accomplished Princesses in
Europe, and it is said is n great favourite of her uncle's.
Louis Phillippe entertained break expectations from the
match towards consolidating, his policy on the Cori!.innt,
and freeing himself a little from his dependence on the fick:c
alliance of England. Mesdames de and de L-,
guided by Louis Phillippe's, or rather his sister's instruc-
tions, endeavoured to prepare the Princess's heart for the
union. They described the Duke of Orleans to her as an
accomplished youth, decked with every external quality,
full of information, and much beloved by the French. On
the other hand they endeavoured to persuade the Duke
that his alliance was panted for at Stuttgard, and with this
view a portrait of the Princess was forwarded to him.
How could he believe that the Noble Ladies would adopt
such a step without the King's assent ? He was delighted
to find matters proceeding so briskly. The portrait had
been mysteriously delivered to him, and the Minister of
Wirtembcrg at Paris knew nothing of the negotiations.
The Duke's imagination was kindled ; he fancie himself
the hero of a romantic adventure. He was apprised that
the Princess was about to proceed to Switzerland with her
sisters, and the Queen her step-mother, and that she was
dying of impatience to behold her future Lord. That ex-
cursion took place. Our journals announced that the
Duke was about ,to visit the Swiss mountains. He left
Paris, and had scarcely crossed the frontier when our news-
papers affirmed that he was gone to meet the Princess of
Wirtemberg, who was to arrive at Paris in the follow-
ing winter. The King of Wirtemberg had to that
period continued silent, but Louis Phillippe doubted not
that he was at the bottom of the whole affair. On his
arrival in Switzerland, the Duke of Orleans inquired
everywhere after the Queen of Wirtembcrg, but he had
scarcely moved towards the place of her abode when he
learnt that she had left it. She quitted Switzerland in such a
manner that the luckless swain could no longer dissemble
from himself -that his pursuit was evaded. Some friends
of the Xing of Wirtembcrg had apprised his Majesty of
the intrigue, and, irritated at it, he had not concealed his
contempt for a coureur d'aivntures that sought to please a
young Princess without the assent of her father. It was
by his Majesty's order that the Queen did not protract her
stay in Switzerland. It was ascertained that the portrait
forwarded to Paris was but a copy clandestinely made of
one which the Prince Royal of Wirtemberg had ordered
for himself, with the permission of the King. Mesdames
do B- and de L- were thanked from the Tuileries
for their good offices, and most likely received some com-
pensation for the displeasure they had incurred at the Court
of Stuttgard.
These particulars of the Wirtemberg Mariage Manque,
I have every reason to believe most correct. Should their
veracity be denied at the Tuileries, I do not think there
arc many that will say " Nay" to them at the Court of
Stuttgard.

The accounts from Madras, to the 4th of October,
notice a report that it was the intention of the Court of
Directors to give up Mysore to the Rajah. The weather
at Madras and Calcutta was favourable for the crops of in-
digo, rice, Sze.
A few days since, the boiler of a steam-engine in
a drying office belonging to Mr. Shaw, in St. Miles's,
Norwich, burst with a tremendous explosion. The cupu-
lo, with all the water contained in the boiler, about 14
barrels, was forced into the air to the height of about 3()
feet, breaking up the principal part of the roof and a chim-
ney. In its course it knocked down a chimney belonging
to Mr. George Gedge, knocked another completely down,
and alighted on the roof of a drying shed on the same pre-
mises, which it forced in, and rolled through the wall of
another of Mr. Gedge's offices, a distance of about 50 feet
from the place where it was blown. It is a singular fact,
that a large quantity of water contained in the dome did
not descend till it reached Mr. Gedge's premises. There
were three men in the office at the time the explosion took
place, but providentially none of them received any injury.
The hat of one of them was blown off, another of the men
was knocked dawn, and the third had an apron rent from
his waist, and carried into the air. The dome, which
weighs from 20 to 25 cwt. had separated from the lower
part at the rivets (which appeared to have been very much
corroded), and was not at all injured by the fall. The only
person injured by the explosion was one of Mr. Gedge's
men, who was struck on the face by a tile from the roof of
the building, but was [not materially hurt. Three of Mr.
Gedge's men, working under the room in which the dome
fell, had a very narrow escape, as the joists and beams of
the floor above them were actually started by the ponderous
force of its fall, and had the floor given way, they must all
inevitably have been killed on the spot.—Norwich Mercury.
The weather has lately been very boisterous and
changeable, and undoubtedly very destructive to the ship-
ping. Accounts have been received of two vessels belong-
ing to Yarmouth having foundered in the late gales. Their
crews were fortunately rescued by other vessels.
THE RHINE.—The breaking up of the ice on the
Rhine took place on the 12th instant, in the morning, and-
little apprehension was entertained of inundation ; however
at the narrow passage, near St. Goar, the ice accumulated
greatly, the water rose every minute with great rapidity,
and by mid-day the whole of the lower part of the town
of Bacharach was inundated to a height equal to that of
1811. If the thaw continue, much damage is anticipated.
At Deux Ponts the waters have risen to a prodigious
height, and great losses have been experienced.
A hunt took place on Saturday last, of a strong dog
fox, which had been bagged a few days before. The fox
was drawn at Cannonby, and allowed twenty minutes' start,
and it appears it had made the most of it, for it kept up
the chase for near six hours ; and after a circuitous run, in
which some of the sportsmen were thrown from their
horses, it was killed a little above Wigton.
DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH SMUGGLERS.—
Lieut. Pennington, of the Coast Guard, at Stonehouse,
having received information of a route adopted by smug-
glers, across the country near Elburton, frequented the
spot a few nights since, without seeing anything of the
smugglers. Oa Tuesday night he sent only three of his
best men, well armed with cutlasses and pistols. About
half-past ten, as they lay concealed a mile and half from
Elburton, towards Saltram, a party of eighteen or twenty
made their appearance, with two carts and three horses,
when the Coast Guard men called on them to surrender.
On coming into close contact with the smugglers, the latter
began to act on the offensive, using their bludgeons. These
the seamen parried with their cutlasses, and at last, driven
to extremities, they fired about a dozen shots from their pis-
tols among the smugglers ; whether any fell it was too dark
to see. Some of the latter must have been dreadfully
hacked by the cutlasses of the preventive men, considering
the close quarters at which they fought, and the ability of
the latter to use that weapon. The three men, however,
successfully beat off their opponents, and bore away their
prizes of horses and carts, containing sixty-three tubs of
brandy, and delivered them into the Cnstom-house on Tues-
day morning. Some of the smugglers were recognised as
old offenders, and others bear such marks of the rencoun-
ter as will no doubt lead to their discovery. The struggle
continued for half an hour, and the Coast Guard me's
swords were, on their return, found to be covered with blood
from the hilt to the point.—Sherbounic Journal.

GUIZZARDING.—We understand that the younger
branches of the Scone family. during the daft days, deter-
mined to mingle, like their neighbours, in all kinds of holi-
day amusement. The youthful party on New-year's night,
therefore, attired and disguised themselves so effectually as
not to be known to each other except by speech. A young
nobleman, full of all kinds of fun, was with aids turned into
a giant of such dimensions as to require a coach to himself ;
the other gentlemen were more or less comical. The ladies
were dressed to, and disported the characters of country
lasses, and old-fashioned wives. In this disguise they drove
to their neighbours, at Kinfauns, where they gained admis-
sion as guizzards. They were ushered into the dining-room,
where they danced and sung to perfect life. The peculia-
rities of their several characters were so ably sustained,
their voices so truly disguised, that all in the room, their
most intimate friends, and several of their relatives, amidst
the enjoyment, unconsciously, gave them pieces of money.
The happy party then drove home to carry on their further
amusements. This piece of excellent pleasantry was only
known through the young party themselves, who, as may
naturally be expected, richly quizzed their friends. The
proceeds of their diversion was sent to the poor.

AWFUL DEATH.—On Wednesday last as the
Traveller coach was on its journey from Exeter to Loa'
don, it stopped as usual at the Virginia Inn, Henstridg;
~
at
Ash, for the reception of passengers and parcels, when
was remarked by a gentleman who had accompanied "
friend thither for the purpose of proceeding on to tot'
that a young lady, apparently about 16 years of age, an
side passenger from Exeter, seemed suffering severely from
dropsy, from the effects of which she could with diffien'"
respire ; the unfortunate lady's sufferings appeared e;
tremely acute, and on opening the coach door upon,' r
arrival at Piccadilly, she was found to have breathed Oa
last. The journey from Exeter to London, by a slow
heavily laden coach, is an undertaking of no very enviau
kind, even on the part of the most healthy and robust
~:
it is much to be regretted, therefore, that so great ao,l"st
valid should have tried the hazardous experiment, or tea,
her relatives should have sanctioned it, unaccompanied, tilf,
by any friend to watch the progress of the fatal male aj,
and act as circumstances may require.—Sherborne Jourri.
