The following is transcript from a tomb-stone
in Wigton Churchyard
Here lies ;Yoh" Taggart, of honest fame,
Qf stature loiv-and a leg lame;
Content he was with portion small,
Kept a shop in Wigton—and that's all.

meeting took place on Monday on '
Ascott Heath race ground, between Capt.
and a Mr..M—L, a gentleman of fortune. The
report was,. that the cause of dispute originated
from eXpreisions 'regarding a lady allied to the
latter gentleman. The first fire missed, but in
the second the Captain was shot in the wrist,
and he Was COnvey*d to Sunning Hill, where me-
dical attendance Was had.
INTENDED pliEi..--Another duel was to have •
taken place yestetday at Wormwood Scrubs, but
the police, acting upon information, prevented it.
The parties had even measured paces, but infor-
mation of an enerny, at hand stopped them.
The death of the. Jew Broker happens very
opportunely for the present LORD MAYOR, who
goes out of office next Friday. The circum-
stance will remind some of our readers of a
pleasant anecdote related of WILKES. During
his Mayoralty one of these Brokers was seriously
ill, and WILKES was reported to be reckoning
on the advantage of the disposal of the probable
vacancy. The son of the Broker meeting his
Lordship, reproached him with wishing his fa-
ther dead. "My dear fellow," said WILKES,
with great promptitude, " you are completely
in error; I would rather that all the Jew Bro-
kers were dead, than your father."
you PAit—The fine statue of Achilles, in
Hyde Park, bids fair to be ere long most
seriously injured, if some means be not promptly
taken to -prole --it - from- • the outrageous as-
saults of a number of rude persons who amuse
themselves by throwing stones and dirt at it, and
breaking down the slender chevaux de frise by
which it is surrounded, one of the sticks of which
they have contrived to place in the right hand,
where there ought by all means to be displayed a
sword or a spear. Though the renowned hero ap-
pears to frown with sovereign contempt on his rude
assailants, yet ought the necessary means imme-
diately to be taken for preserving from mutilation
so admirable a monument, and so appropriate a
tribute to the worth and valour of our countrymen
in arms.—(Morning Post.)

THE GALUcAN CHURCH.—The Monitcztr of
Friday contains a Royal Ordinance, sanctioning the publication
of the Papal Bull, issued at Rome on the 10th of October, re-
lative to the circumscription of the French Bishoprics and Arch-
bishoprics. The number of dioceses is 80, of which 14 are me-
tropolitan, and 66 suffragan. According to Art. 3. " this Bull
is received without approbation of its clauses, reservations, for-
mula, or expressions, which are, or may be, contrary to the
Constitutional Charter, the laws of the realm, or to the fran-
chises, liberties, and maxims of the Gallican Church. It is
ordered to be transcribed in Latin and French in the registers of
the Council of State. M. pE BLACAS, who arrived a few days
ago at Paris from Rome, brought with him this Bull, as the fruit
of his long negotiation with the HOly See for the settlement of
the Gallican Church. His Holiness was anxious, it would seem,
that the Church of France should have the benefit of 92 Bishops
and Archbishops to protect its interests or to extend its power.
The French 'Ministry thought that the finances could not support
more than 80. This number appeared moreover convenient, as
it admitted of nearly the same circumscription of dioceses as of
departments. Among the 80 sees there are l 4 Archbishoprics,
and to compensate the want of the additional 12, on which the
Pope had set his heart, eight of the Archbishops are admitted
into the Chamber of Peers.

M. PAULIN DU BEiwIER, the Sub-Prefect at
Chalons-sur-Saone, and Knight of the Royal Order of the Le-
gion of Honour, has terminated his career at the age o f
sixty-two. In him the King has lost a faithful and devoted
subject, and an upright and enlightened Magistrate. NI. P. DU
BERGIER was, in 1789, the President of the District des Filen-
lans, at Paris ; in 1790 he was elected to the Presidency of the
Society of Friends to Constitutional Monarchy, and during the
same year, while the unfortunate Louis XVI. was a captive in
tile Castle of the Thuilleries, this loyalist was the foremost of
thoSe who offered to became hostages for their KING, still desir-
ous of sacrificing their own liberty for the emancipation of a
Monarch so adored. Towards the close of 1791, he was charged
by the Kixu with a mission to the Swiss Cantons, which was
in itself of high import, and which he fulfilled with zeal and
devotedness. When this mission was thus discharged, he re-
joined the French Princes at Coblentz. After years of exile he
returned to his native country, where his sole recompense was
the esteem of good subjects. As the cousin-german of M. DE
SEZE, now a Count and Peer of France, and connected by the
most intimate ties of friendship with the Viscount DE CHA-
TEAU ItaIAND, M. DU BERGIER soon occupied an honourable
post. Since the Restoration, he has been successively Chief of
Division in the Ministry of the Interior, Secretary General to
the Prefecture of Amiens ; and lastly, the Sun-Prefect at
Chalons-sur_Saone. All his time was employed it supporting
the Royal Cause. He was one of the originators of the Society
of Bonires-Lettres of which also he became the very first Di-
rector. Ile has left behind a widow and two children, who are
inconsolable ; since, in losing him, they have lost every thing.
M. P. Du BE RGIER was not merely a faithful and devoted sub-
ject to the last--he died, as he had lived, a good Christian.
Though painful.to him, he sustained his dying moments with
that fortitude and resignation which nothing but religion can
impart. His latest words, often repeated during his severe ill-
ness, were—" GoD and the King !"—(Joiti.rial des Debuts.)
itomc.—The LAKE Facciiio, which has been
always so destructive to the surrounding country, has under-
gone great changes during the summer. The excessive heat
has caused the waters of the lake to decrease daily, and they
have retired above fifty feet from their former limits. The
Frecino has for these twenty years past constanly encroached
on the surroundinr, shores. The sinking of its waters has ex-
posed to view various urns and sarcophaguses, some of Terra
Cotta, and others of stone. Among them there is one of white
stone, which attracts the attention of the, amateurs. This sar-
cophagus is of one piece, 9 palms long, 4 broad, and 5 high.
The inscriptions are still covered by the water.
