ERLIN, MAY 26.—1 t seems that it is now de-
termined that the stay cif all our visitors here and at Potsdam will con.
tinue only till the 10th of June. The King of Wurtemberg will Propa_
bly leave us in a few dayswith his beautiful daughters. The departure
of the other distinguished guests will take place in the beginning of next
month. The Imperial family, with the closer circle of our Royal fa-
tnily, will then go to the Castle of Fischbach, in Solenca, from whence
they will make excursions to the most beautiful parts of our Riesenge-
birge. The romantically situated castle of Fuestentein is already pre-
pared for the reception of the distinguished visitors. The Empress
will use for some time the saline springs, and then return to Berlin,
where she will remain till late in the autumn. The Emperor will
meanwhile return to St. Petersburgh, and be again at Silesia about the
middle of June, and then go with our King to Toplitz. It is said that
the Emperor will again return to his empire and come to fetch the Em-
press in the autumn; but first go to the review at Magdeburg.
A huntsman of the Grisons had lately a narrow es-
cape. An eagle having carried away a lamb from his flock, in the vil-
lage of Models, he determined to destroy the bird, and having prepared
a snare, placed it on a pine-tree near the edge of a deep precipice. On
the following day he went to the place armed with a hatchet, found the
bird caught, and climbed the tree to take it. The eagle, however, com-
menced a furious attack with its beak on his head, from which lie could
hardly defend himself; lie could not let go his hold on the tree, and he
had only one hand at ',belly. The contest continued a long time, and
it was only when the huntsman was much torn, and almost totally ex-
hausted, that he succeeded by a lucky blow in disabling his adversary.
The bird, which was a very large one, was stuffed and sent to the Museum
of Natural History at Zurich.

On Thursday morning, after one o'clock, as a police-
man of the. E division was going his rounds through Hunter-street,
Brunswick-square, he found a genteel-looking young woman lying on
the pavement in a state of insensibility. He endeavoured to arouse her,
but to no purpose, and with assistance he took her to the station house,
when it was discovered that she had drunk to excess, and a surgeon was
called in to attend upon her, but all efforts to restore her were useless,
and she was conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital, and thence to St.
Guests workhouse, where she at present remains, quite insensible, and
in a dang,rous condition. Nothing was found on her person to lead
to a discovery of who or what she is. She is about twenty years of age.
The police are using every effort to trace her friends, and every atten-
tion is paid to her for her recovery.
The benevolent ladies of Warrenmount Convent,
who devote their lives to the instruction and moral improvement of the
poor in the neighbourhood of Blackpitts, in the liberties of this city,
have had their household furniture distrained for minister's money by the
bailifs of the Rev. Mr. Thomas, of St. Luke's parish, who yesterday car-
ried away from the convent ten chairs, one fender, a set of tire-irons,
one fire-screen, a carpet, and ten prints upon religious subjects. We
shall not weaken the effect of this simple statement by any commentAry
upon the system which pretends to uphold Christianity by such acts.—
Dublin Evening Post.

Friday morning a police constable, 1044 N, was
passing near the Regent's Canal, Islington, when he observed a man
plunge into the water. He instantly hastened to the spot, and went in
after him, and in a short time succeeded in getting him out of the water
in a state of insensibility. Medical aid was procured, and he was re_
stored to his senses, when he stated that his name was Carter, and that
being out of employment and in distress he determined on ridding him-
self of existence. He left his hat upon the bank of the Canal, in which
was a letter signed with his name, directed to No. 12, Madras-place,
Islington, and stating that distress was the cause of the rash act. The
man's life must inevitably have been destroyed had it not been for the
meritorious exertions of the policeman, who risked his own life, and we
understand that he is precluded by the Commissioners from making a❑
application to the Royal Humane Society for the reward given on such
occasions where the life of a human being is saved.
