Louts XV. frequently talked of his courtiers
in a manner extremely disagreeable to them,
without intending to give them pain. One day,
when Cardinal de Luynes was paying his respects
to him, 44 Cardinal," said the King to him,
" your great grandfather died of an apoplexy ;
your father and your uncle die d'of an apoplexy ;
and you look as if you would die of an apopletic
stroke." " Sire," answered the Cardinal, 44 for-
tunately for us we do not live in the times when
Kings are prophets."
Lord DEERITURST has presented to the House
a petition to amend the Bridge Acts, to provide
a fund for the annuitants on the ceasing of the
tolls, and, to a limited extent, for the subse-
quent repairs of the avenues, &c. ; and that the
present tolls may be reduced one-third imrne-
diately after the passing of the Act now applied
for.--(Worcester Herald.)

A SINGULAR INCIDENT, very well described,
occurred after one of NAPOLE ow's great actions in Italy, when
he was passing over al field of battle, before the dead bodies
had been interred : " In the deep silence of a beautiful moon-
light night," said the Emperor, " a dog, leaping au&
denly from. beneath the clothes of his dead master, rushed
upon us, anti then immediately returned to his hiding-place;
howling piteously. He alternately licked his master's
hand and ran towards us; thus. at once ,soliciting aid and.
seeking revenge. Whether, owing to my own particular turn
of mind at the moment," continued the Emperor, "the time,
the place, or the action itself, Z. know not ; but, certain-
ly, no incident on any field of battle 'ever produced so deep
an impression on me. I involuntarily stopped to contemplate the
scene. This man, thought I, perhaps, has friends in the ramp
or in his company; anti here he lies forsaken by all except has
,dog 'What a lesson Nature here prestents through the medium
of an animal ! 'What a strange being isrnan l and how mys-
.teriouti are his impressions ! I had, without etnbtion, ordered
battles which were to decide the fate-of the - army ; I had be.
with tearless eyes, the execution of those operations, by
which numbers of my countrymen were sacrificed: • and here
my feelings were roused by the mournful bowling of a dog
Certainly at that moment I should have been easily moved by
a 'suppliant enemy : I could very well imagine Achilles sur.
rendering up the body of Hector at the sight of Priam's tears."
Yesterday 07th ult.) forenoon a fine boy,only
twelie' years of age was discovered suspended
by a small cord, which he had fastened round
his neck. The event was almost immediately
detected, and every means used to restore anima-
tint 'without effeet. No cause can be
signed for this distressing occurrence, except
that, on the preceding day, he had gone with-
out the knowledge of his parents; and wit-
.
nessed the execution of William APlntare,
a .catastrophe: .which' seems to have made so
strong an impression on his mind us to lead to ,an-
other equally distressing. In the course of the
morning he was observed to make some free re.
•
marks to one of -his companions on the nature of'
hanging." It is supposed .he had seized the
opportunity of the servant's absence from_ the
kitchen to reduCe his rash but too fatal notion s to
practice. The situation in which his relatives.
are thus placed is truly distressing.--,-(Bdinburek
