It is a very remarkable fact in the history of forgery,
that one of the jury who tried the late Dr. Dodd, was himself
within two years afterwards, guilty of a similar breach of the
laws, was tried in the same Court of Justice, at the Old Bailey,
and executed on the same gallows at Tyburn. Thus we see
that the terror of death was in this case as inefficient to prevent
the crime as in the instance of Fauntleroy and others.

then," said she, at length, " if I must tell you, it is the young
shoemaker that lives in the Rue Agneaux."

by the Oxford from New York. He has travelled for two
years in the United States, and has profitted much by it. At
the next election he will stand in the popular interest for
Lanarkshire, Mr. Hope Vere being secured of his return for
West Lothian. We consider it highly fortunate that a man
so much distinguished for knowledge, manners, and connec-
tions will oppose the Tory candidate.—Glasgow Chronicle.
Prince Metternich's celebrated wines, made on his
estates at Jobannisberg,-, are worth 6001. the hogshead. The
first quality is hardly ever sold. It is like the Steinberger, the
picking only of one or two of the finest grapes on the bunch.

vernment House on Thursday. By the terms of the Order,

to his Serene Highness Prince Ernest of Philipsthal is ru-
moured, is on a visit to the Earl and Countess Brownlow, at
Belton House, Lincolnshire, and is not expected to return to
her residence in South-street until next week. His Royal
Highness the Duke of Sussex's recent visit to the King at
Windsor was for the purpose of finally arranging the marriage,
which will shortly be solemnised at Windsor. His Serene
Highness is in his forty-seventh year, and is the youngest bro-
ther of the Landgrave of Hesse Philippsthal, and a Lieutenant-
General

cousin, we believe, to her Majesty.

the much wished-for termination of their incarceration will not
be much longer delayed. A few weeks, perhaps days—nay,

Polignac will be restored to liberty. He is, we understand,
to proceed under an escort to Amiens, and there to be re-
leased from restraint. With his Highness's feelings and ties
it is not difficult to surmise that he will lose
