HONOUR IS MY MOTTO.

Le Droit has the following humorous report :
Giguet—Mr. President, have the goodness to listen to me,
if you please; it is I who complain.
.President—What do you complain about ?
Giguet—l must tell you that I have the misfortune of
being very short-sighted.
Punker—lf you are low-sighted you can sae the ground
well enough. It must be your own fault when you tread
upon people's feet. Besides, my father on his death-bed—
Gigue.t—Oh, yes 1 but 1 appeal against your way of de-
manding justice.
President—What has the accuQed done you ?
Giguet—Having the mi:,fortune of being very short-
sighted, I daily find myself exposed to innumerable disa-
greeables. Thus, last week, finding myself at a coffee-house
on the boulevard, I nearly made my way through a large plate
glass, mistaking it for the door.
Punker—And did you break the glass?
Ciiguet—No, but I broke my nctse.
Punker—That's lucky, it's net so expensive.
President—l hope you are not going to relate all the
blenders your malady causes you tb commit ; only state the
facts connected with your complaint.
Punker—l don't care; I have my justification ready. My
father on his death-bed said to me —:---
President—Let the witness explain himself first, and then
ycu may justify yourself if you can.
Giguet--"ris all owing to my bad sight. I clumsily
walked twice on the foot of this gentleman when were stand-
ing in a line to get in at the theatre. The second time he
clenched his fist and sent it right into my right eye; or, at
least, so I was told, fur I did not see anything, both on ac-
count of my infirmity and the complete state of blindness I
was in through the -fist of this stranger.
Dunker—l had a father who always said to me : my boy—
President to Giguet—Was the blow you received violent ?
D;:1 you feel it for several days?
Gig,,uet—l have heard some of my acquaintance say that for
a week my right eye was much larger than the other. The
strange part of the business is, that being larger, I saw less
with it less than before. My doctor, whose certificate I now
produce, says that was quite natural ; for my part, I find it
very strangn
President, to-the accused—Let us see, Punker stand up.
How caate you to commit so brutal an act on a person who,
w:tinait any intention, and in a crowd, trod upon your fo )t ?
Punker—lt was not his intention did me mischief, it was
his foot ; and so my father, when on his death btA—
Giguet—Be pleased to observe that I Ives ready to make
him every kind of excuse—he had but to speak.
Pituk,,r—Excuses do not cure the pain.; 'tis better to re-
turn it.
Giguet—But, my dear stranger, the pain I y
not be equal to a blow from your fist. Had you been contented
with giving me a slap I should have said no more about it.
Punker—l offered you reparation with a'sword, or no matter
gave ou could
what ; you preterred coming before a Justice- That is not
shat my father, when on the point of death—
Sir
Giriet—l had not the honour of knowing your father, ;
but it seems to me that to repair a blow from a fist with a blow
from a sabre is rather a homwopathic process—that's n'Y

opinion.
Punker--I am a friend to hornwopathy—what have you to
say against hommupathy ?
Gignet—Nothing-, nothing. it's like putting out the
good eye of a man Who blind on one side, to restore the
bad one.

Punker—Certainly, certainly. _ _
to my father's dying admonitio3.
Giguet—Pray, Sir, waz your father a homn,opathic doctor?
Punker. No, he was a brave soldier in his time. When en
the point of death he sent for me to come near his bed, and
said to me in tears, " My Son, honour's whole maxim is
very short—Swear before me that you will follow it till you
die." " I swear, Father !" which I did shedding tears al,o.
Then he sari to me, " You have a foot, my boy ; dont you
ever let holy tread upon it." Thus spoke my father.
The punctilLus Pucker was condemned to pay a fine of 25
francs ( I/. )

RE-ORGANISATION OF THE STAGE

In a letter upon the French stage for the last fifty years,
addressed to the Count tie Nlontalivet, Minister for the
Home Department, by M. Alexander Duval, of the French
Academy, are found the followina. articles of a Miniqerial
decree, which the veteran author has wittily imagined,
for the
re-organization of the stage :
Art. 3. The French stage, being intended to form the
completion of a liberal education, will only admit pieces,
which by their extent, poetry, and morality, may be calcu-
lated to develope the feelings that characterize an honest
man, and a good citizen.
Art. 6. No one being ignorant that, for the last twelve
years, no piece has been fairly judged by the public, no free
admission shall henceforth be given—the author alone shall
obtain a box for himself and his family.
Art. 7. An enlightened public not existing at this time, an
attempt shall be made to create one, by granting two hundred
admissions to men of merit, whose means do not put it in their
power to enjoy theatrical representations. These persons are
to be selected among men of letters, junior professors at the
University, among those who have obtained prizes, and among
all those whose productions have been crowned in the
course of the year Their judgment may have some influence
on. that of the public, as was formerly the case with the en-
lightened amateurs of the stage.
Art 8. The Reading Committee shall be composed of
five-and-twenty members, chosen among the writers who no
longer work for the stage, among the actors and men of the
world, who may be able to give authors useful hints, with re-
gard to correct social practices.
Art. 9. There will be, every year a prize of 10,000 francs
fur the best tragedy or comedy, in verse,- in five acts. This
prize shall only hr given two years after the representation,
and tii.on a written judgment of the French Academy. There
will be inferior prizes for works in prose, draatas or comedies.
Art. 12. A new law shall be presented to the Chambers, to
secure a duration of copyright to the family for fifty years after
the death of the author.
Constilutiohnel, Feb. 17.

THE JEW'S TOMB.-In.a retired and secluded
corner of a meadow, close by the town of Chesterfield. is
erected a tomb, neatly composed of bricks, surmounted by a
hands,me stone slab, to the memory of a Jew, oho was in-
terred there in the year 1792. The stone bears the followiog
inscription:—Michael Solo-mans, a Jew, a faithful servant at
the Angel Inn, Chesterfield, for upwards of thirty years, was
'nterred here at his own request, Opt. 23, 1792, aged 75.
This stone was erected by his friends to his mernory._Do„.
caster Gazette. At the head and foot of this tomb grew, a
few years ago, two handsome poplar trees, which were planted
at the time of Solomon's burial, but are now cut down, which
act, to say the !east of it, showed a want of taste in those who
removed them.
The Hull Observer, in some observations on the
Marylebone election say., " We are certain, that, at every
bye election in every large borough, the same tactics will be
adopted, and with the same result, by the extensive section or
Liberals who firmly believe that the Melbourne Ministry have
deceived them, since they have thought proper to proscribe
the Ba39t.'?

THE PERSIAN PRINCES IN
LONDON.

The following description of the effect produced on the
three Persian Prince= by review of the Household Troops, is
taken fr:m M. Baillie Frazer's Narrative of their Residence
in Lo. don. . It intn-a be nndcrstood that the Princes were pro-
3cients in the Persian mode of warfare:—
" One of, the first acts of attention on the part of Sir G.
0. was to introduce them to Mrs. W. L., a lady of the world
of fashion, who, on the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo,
nave at her house near Grosvenor gate an elegant de jeune, and
... ho was kind enough to invite tile Princes to view the grand
evicw given on that day in Hyde-park, from that command-
ng situation. Nothing could have been more happily ar-
anged. From the top of Mr. W. L.'s Ifou.se the whole field
'as visible, and every evolution of the troops might be seen ;
while, after the review was over, we had a brilliant show of
the officers in their gay costumes, who came in succession to
pay their compliments lo the numerous assemblage of ladies
[mho filled the rooms above.
" There were, as I understood, nearly five thousand men of
il'the Guards and llowelield Troops on the field; such men,
in point of figure, dress and appointments, horses included, as
probably Europe could not equal, certainly not surpass ; and
the rapid precision with which eve-y movement and manoeuvre
was performed was admirably calculated to strike and astonish
the Persians, who though accustomed to military displays of a
very different description, could yet appreciate the perfection
which they witnessed here. I What sungers I' (fortified stoc-
kades or bulwarks),'said they, when they infantry formed their
impregnable squares, and stood -prepared to receive cavalry.
' One would say that each sunyer was a solid mass; not a foot
nor an arm is out of place. See ! it is -a white line and
a red line, with the steel glittering, above. Ah, look I they
kneel, they fire—barrakillah .1 barrakillah ! admirable l'
" As for Tirneur, he was quite unable to contain himself.
He stood with flushed cheek, tlishing eye, and outstretched
neck, like a bird on the wing, following every movement as if
he would have precipitated himself down among the perfor-
mers. ' Al;, well done, well done I' exclaimed he, as the
Horse Guards made a splendid ehrrge ; " thse fellows will do
the business. But what do they stop for?' continued he,
coking blank, as the whole drew up at the proper place,
quite forgetting that it was not a charge in earnest. 'Ah I
look at these horses,' said he again, as two or three horses,
with empty saddle;, ran across the plain in a very business-
like style ; • their riders have got shot now (gold
khourdun(l)l' But when the light cavalry took to skirmirh-
lig with the retreating artillery, and harassing them, se./an
les reyles, without closing, he lost-all patience. 'ilinanierdiur
_Ali, cowards I' exclaimed lie; ' why don't you charge at
once like men? Charge ye—and the guns are taken !'
" In a little while the whole body of flying artillery swept
by at speed, a splendid sight. ' What do you think of that'
said some of the bystanders. ' Ah, Piderislt be suzundl' re-
turned he with a shake of the head ; ' may their fathers be
roasted l we know too much of these concerns, to our cost.
These were the things that Lindsay (Sir Henry Bethune
Lindsay) had when he met us near Komaishah ; and when we
were galloping up with our horsemen, and thought we were
carrying everything before us, he stopped short all at once and
blew us to the devil.'
The elder prince was more collected, and confined him-
s‘.lf, for the most part to moderate exclamations of praise ;
or, if questioned as to his opinion of the beauty of such or
such an evolution, he would say, ' it was perfection ; could
not he better.' But when at length, after some heavy firing
both of artillery and infantry, with a beautifully-sustained dis-
play of file-firing from the latter, the smoke blew away, dis-
closing one long and perfect lino of troops, as steady as a rock
flanked by the ter; ible batteries that had just been thundering,
he was quite surprised out of all his moderation ; and, after a.
few most expressive ejaculations, he turned to me and said,
a Wullah ! Saheb Fraser, the horsemen of Iran are the best in
the world, as you know well ; but if there were a hundred
thousand of them of them here on the spot, they could not
touch that line—that line 1 what could touch it ?' The re-
view was over, the show at an end; yet still he stood gazing,
till at length the movement of those around him woke him
from a sort of trance, which no doubt had as much to do with
the past as the present. He heaved a deep sigh, and said, as
ire passed on to descend, ' What are a hundred balls or operas
no this ?'

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Thursday information of
the following daring highway robbery, and atrocious attempt
at murder, was received at the diff2rent metropolitan police-
offices and station-houses. On Sunday night, between half-
past nine and ten o'clock, as a young man, named George
Lowudes, living as under groom in the service of John Wells,
Esq., of Moor Park, Surrey, was returning home from Farn-
ham, he was attacked on the high road, shortly after he had
left that town, by two men, whose faces were covered with
black crape or handkerchiefs, who seized him and demanded
his money. He told them he had none, and threatened to
give an alarm if they did not let him go. One of them then
knocked him down, and placed a pistol at his head, threaten-
ing to blow his brains out if he made any further noise, but he
still continued calling out " Murder !" as loud as he was able,
until one of the villains kneeled on his neck with all his might,
Iyhile the other rested his whole weight on the lower part of
his stomach.. They then cut from his fob a doublo-cased
silver watch, with which, and his livery-hat, they effected
their escape. the was soon afterwards discovCred in a state
of insensibility by some persons who had been attracted to the
spot by his cries, by whom be was conveyed home. One of
the villains was rather tall, and dressed in a dark jacket, the
other was shorter, and had on a white smock-frock. -

AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH.—
Friday a young man named Thomas Cook, in the occa-
sional employ of :Messrs. Tucker, the corn and coal-mer-
-chants of Is:eNorth, uhilst nolo .ding coals at the Wharf,
having can ied about three sacks, suddenly fell down dead,
without uttering i single word. Mr. Day, the highly re-
spec:able surgt-on of the place was immediately sent for,
whcn he declared it to be the result of secret internal disease.
He was supposed to have been in a decline, but remarked to
hs cousin that morning, that he felt better, or more fit for
work. 1-k was removed home, where his body awaits the co-
ronet-a' inquest.

At one of the lodging-houses in this town, a man
and his son recently took up their abode. The son being very
'IL and in the agonies of death, his father was induced to try
the powers of a potent spell, which, he was assured, would
restore his dying son to health and strength. He accordingly
procured a livin« bird, split it suddenly down the middle of the
body with a sharp knife, and applied the several parts, still
moving with life, to the soles of his dying son's feet. fully ex-
pectitig to behold his instantaneous, restoration.—Ten Towns'
Messenger.
A monk of the order of St. Basil, as we learn from
Cragieviz, in Servia, has recently discovered a most valuable
collection of historical manuscripts in the monastery of Monte-
negro. 11.ving been ordered to inspect the vaults wider the
convent church, he discovered that the numerous coffins depo-
sited in them were all broken to pieces except one, which was
ia a perfect state of preservetion. Having mentioned the fact
to the superior, the fraternity went in procession to the vault,
and, having broken the coffie, found it tilled with papers in an
excellent state of preservation, and rolled in oil-cloths. Upon
examination, the papers were found to be chronicles in the
different Sclavonian languages, embracing a period from the
time of the first invasion of the Sclavernans, in the country
along the Danube, to the yer 1721. They contain histories of
Wallachia, Moldavia, Servia, details of the crusades in the
East, &c. Prince Milosch has purchased tins collection for
5,000 ducats, (about 4,5001 ), and has employed his secretary
to examine and class the documents according to their dates.
They will be published, and will throw, it is expected, great
light on the histories of the Sclavonian people, and other Eu-
ropean nations.— Galignani's Messenger.
A MODERN GIOVANNE.—An American paper
gives tile following account of a modern Giovanni, who bids
fair to he as renowned as the mighty " Don," if fate does
not consign him to the Penitentiary. Having been put in
gaol for marrying thirteen wives, he made his escape, and
was seen three or four days :afterwards by a gentleman.
The gentleman, anxious to secure the-reward for his appre-
hension, invited him into his house to dinner, and then slyly
slipped out in pursuit of a constable ; but great was his
ho-ror on his return to find that the culprit had absconded
with his wife !
PA ItTY.—Owing to the disgraceful conduct of the
whig, no less than to the nefarious proceedings of the Tories
at the last election, the two factions are so nearly balanced in
the present Parliament, that nn measures of real benefit to the
people can be expected. It is, therefore, not surprising that
week after week passes away, in which nothing else is done
save in the way of useless contentions, bickerings, and strife.
—Suffolk Chronicle.
FALSE QUANTITY.—Most persons are aware that
our law proceedings still retain many of the Latin terms, in
which language the whole was formerly carried on. Among
these is a process known by the term nolle prosequi, the e in
the latter word being pronounced short. Not long since, a
Learned Barrister, not educated at Eton—where a false quan-
tity is held in the same light as a petty larceny—was on the
last.day of term boring the Court of Exchequer with a
lengthened harangue upon a trifling matter, the burden of his
speech being the propriety of entering a tulle prosequi, in-
variably pronouncing the e in the latter word long. Mr.
Baron
A--, whose clasical ear could bear this Priscian out-
rage no longer, at length good humour, dly interrupted the
Learned Gentleman, by saying " Really Mr. --, there can
be no occasion to lengthen anything unnecessarily on the last
day of term."
A most painful excitement has been caused by the
continued and unaccountable absence of Mr. Maskell, currier.
It appears that Mi. Maskeil left his lime oa Monday last, for
Hereford. where he was noticed about noon ; lie had with
him a-large sum in notes and cold. Since that time he has
neither been seen nor heard of, aed the worst fears are enter-
tained for his safety.—llereford Times.
00 Tuesday last a man named Whiting, a deserter
' from the 7th Fusileers, who was confined in Boston Gaol,
adopted the following singular mode of disqualifying himself
for a military life, although he will probably he punished with
transportation :—He contrived to rub the iron hoop on his kit
on a stone until it was as sharp as a knife ; lie then placed the
first joint of his forefinger on the edge of the hoop, and struck
it sharply with a sweeping brush, which, however, had not the
desired effect, He again laid his finger in the same position
as before on the hoop, and repeated the blow. with increased
force, by which he succeeded in amputating the first joint cf
his finger, Mr. Coupland, surgeon to the gaol, was sent for,
but Whiting declared that he was -resoluecl to be a soldier eo
longer, and that, if the parts were sown together, hp woulti
tear Lhern apart again as soon as the doctor quitted him. Not-
withstanding the roughness of the instruments employed, the
ampUtation was performed as smoothly as if a surgeon bad
done it.—Boston Herald,

NORFOLK CIRCUIT—ArLEsnuRr,.IILnicH 9.
TIDAL OF W. F. ADAMS.
Matthew Colyer sworn —I knew the deceased ; also his son,
the prisoner. I r cot set when deceased was found dead.
know the Now Bridge. al the day the deceased was found I
was in the Hume Grcuud with Daniel Bull, John Hoperoft,
and others. We wore at work together. I recollect the pri-
soner coming to us that afternoon between two and three. He
had a single barrel gun. lie went out of the Home Ground
(,v,r the brook into Turfmoor. He there shot at a flock of
b. ks. I saw him sho,rt at a snipe in - Tut fmoor. He
!eft Turin nor, in the (Erection of the tinnip fie id. I
herd the rev.rt of a guu afterwards ; it appeared to come
from the turnip fieid. It was, as near as I could guess, about
half au hour after I saw him shoot the second time in Turf-
moor. I hoard the fourth report of a gun. Cannot say ex-
actly hcrw long it was after the third. The fourth report ap-
peered to come towards the fishpond. About ten minutes or
a quarter of an hour aftex I heard the fourth shot prisoner
was returning home on horseback. He was going to-
wards home. He was going full trot. I saw the de-
ceased in the same afternoon about three o'clock. The gun
'tad shot off twice in Turfrnuor when I saw deceased.
The deceased came to us as we were at work. He left us, and
went across the bill of the ground towards the cowhouse.
Deceased was on horseback. Ihe prisoner, on his return,
was on the same horse. •We were leaving our work as tire
prioner passed by on his return. I saw no one else that day
with a gun.
John Hoperoft sworn—l was at work at the bridge for the
parish on the 28th December last. I recollect when deceased
was found dead. I was at the bridge that afternoon. I saw
the prisoner a little after two. Can't tell the exact time. He
came down as from home. He had a gun with him. He
went away for Turfmoor. I saw him sloAtt off twice there.
He then went to the corner of Turfmoor, towards the turnip- •
field. I heard the third report of a gun; it appeared to come
from the turnip-field. About twenty minutes after I heard
the third I heard a fourth report of a gun. It seemed to conic
from the .cowhouse way ; it was not so loud as the third. I
saw the prisoner again returning towards home on his father's
horse. It was about four o'clock. We were just giving over
work. He was oa the full trot. It was about a quarter of art
hour after I heard the fourth report. I sew no more of him
that day. I saw no one else all day with a gun.
Richard Judge—l am gamekeeper to Lord Chesterfield.
I was at the Six Bells, et Burcott, when the prisoner called
me out, and said ha father was missing, and had not been
home since the afternoon. He asked me to go with him to
search for his father. I went with him. He said he left his
father at Broad Stichling; that he said he was going- to the
new barn to watch Bone, rs he suspected hint of stealing the
corn. We first went to the new barn, which is 400 or 800
yards from Broad Stichling. We went by the cowhouse :
left it on our left hand; it was about 300 yards front us. We
searched all the outbuildings at the new barn ; the barn was
locked. The prisoner said he thought it was no use searching
any further till morning. I said we had not reached Foxhill
cowhouse, and we would go. When we searched the cow-
house I said the door is open. When within two yards of the
door way prisoner said, " the hay has been moved since Iwo
here last." I could see the bay very plain. I went in first.
There was trussed hay on the lett side. I moved the hay, and
found the body of the deceased. His waistcoat was drawn up,
I examined the spot next morning. It seemed as if he had
fallen just out of the door way in the rickyard there was
quantityof blood covered with clover. I knew the prisoners
gun. The same day I found it by the clock. It was 11'1_
loaded. The body so covered could not have been done in
the dark. No one could have seen to have done it so cleverly.
The body was cold and stiff when put into the cart. The Pit
soner left his father once for a few days and lived with me-
is about twelve months last Michaelmas.
The jury, after further evidence had been heard, returned a
verdict of Not Guilty.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT—Your, MARCH 9.
Matthetv Spalding was indicted for the manslaughter of
Isabella Turner, on Tuesday, the sth of July last, at Hirst, in
the West Riding.
The jury brought in a verdict of Guilty, but recommended
the prisoner to mercy.
A memorial in his favour, with a host of signatures, was
handed up to. the bench. —Sentence was deferred.
