BUON kPARTE has left in Paris, upon the scite
of the Bastile, an imperfect statue of a gigantic
elephant, which was to serve as a public fountain.
It was. to be ninety-five Vrench feet (equal to a
Inmate(' and. three 'English) in height, with a
castle on his back that was to serve as a reser-
voir for the water, the principal jet of which was
to be thrown from his proboscis in two
streams, to nearly half the altitude of his body,
while smaller fountains were to gush from beneath
his front feet, as if forced oat of the earth by the
weight. of his enortuOus pressi'e,
The 9th Light Dragoons are ordered for Bath
and .Wells, previolis, it is supposed, to their etrt-
barkation for Ireland. The first division marched
from Exeter on Thursday. The Scotch Greys
are on their march to take their place at Exeter
Barracks the first division will.arrive there this
day.
The First Somerset Regiment of Militia, lately
returned from Ireland, are on their march for the
Royal Prison, Dartmoor, to do duty over the

A few days ago, in -consequence of a wager, a
Gentleman of Liverpool killed 'l,) snipes in 20
shots. The bets were ten to one that 18 out of 20
were not brought down. No sportsman, we be-
lieve, has ever accomplished such a task in this,
or perhaps any other county of England. •
Thursday a female servant, at a house in Tot
tenham-court, having been charged by her mis-
tress to produce some articles that were missing,
under pain of being taken into custody, went
up stairs to the garret and hung herself,. The
body was cut down soon afterwards, but life was
extinct.

Yesterday se'nnight, as Mr; Richard White and
Mr. James., Ireland, both of Forthampton, were
returning home from Tcwkesbury,• they were
drowned in the 'River Severn, near the Lower
Lode. They left Tewkesbury together, between
ten and eleven o'clock, and it is supposed -they
.were imprudent enough to attempt to ride through
the river, as their horses were found on the' op-
posite side in the morning. After a long search',
the bodies were discovered in different ports of the
river, a little below the fertying place on Friday. •
• A FR uDuLEhT BAKER.—At the General Qnar-
ter Sessions for the Borough and Soke of pon-
caster, held on the 24th and 25th ult. a Baker in
that town was tried on two indictments, and con-
vitae(' upan one of them, for-riibbing his custo-
mers of the bread which theylironght to him to be
baked ; crime which, by twisting a piece of
dough from each loaf On its road to• the oven in a
dark corner of the premises, he had art/1111y
contrived to practice, even when -they were
standing.,hy. The REcottnEa, in passing sen-
tence of twelve 'months imprisonment, animad-
verted in impressive terms on the heinousness
of the offence, telling the prisoner that he inost
have known he was living in the daily and hourly
commission of fraud and felony against the-whole
community, the poor even more than the rich.;
and that but for the recommendation of- the Jury
to mercy (a recommendation which, though he
might not exactly approve; he still did not like to
oppose), his punishment would, in all probability,
have been transportation.
