VIENNA, MAY 11.—According to accounts from St.
Petersburgh, his Majesty the Emperor Nicholas has in the
most gracious manner surprised his Ambassador _at this Court,
Baron de Tatitscheff, whose health is happily restored, by con-
ferring on him the dignity of High Chamberlain. He wills
therefore, return to his post here very shortly, but in the course
of the summer will undertake a journey to Italy.
The mail from Constantinople of the 28th of last month has
not yet arrived here, and we have had no certain news from
Bulgaria, and the interior of Turkey, for a week. Letters from
Belgrade up to the 6th of this month bring only reports,
founded on the statements of fugitives, mostly women and
children, many thousands of whom have arrived on the fron"..
tiers of Servia, and more of them continue to come. All the
accounts agree that the insurrection in Bulgaria, in conse-
quence of the frightful excesses of the Turkish soldiery, 11A5
assumed a very obstinate character, and that in this respect:
especially the Pacha of Nissa is subjecting himself to great
responsibility.

will not resign, but are determined to bring the repeal of the
Corn-laws before the House, and if beaten on that, ground, ns
they assuredly will be, dissolve Parliament. With the People
then it will rest to declare whether they will have cheap bread
or dear : monopoly or free trade. The game will be thrown
into their own hands, if they play it properly the nation may
yet be saved, if they betray their trust, a dreadful prospect
opens before us. Let the universal cry be—Down with do
Bread Tax. Hurrah for Cheap Food.— Wilts Indeptndea•
TROWBRIDGE.—The Anti-Corn-law petition
from this town has already recived nearly 1,000 signature.
We trust the friends of cheap bread, and a plenty of it's will
make the most of the time that is still afforded them, and sign
as numerously as possible.— Wilts Independent.
SUICIDE.—About a quarter past seven o'clock:
on Thursday morning, a man of decent appearance, about gist)"
years of age, was seen to walk down to the edge of the basin a‘
Kensington, and suddenly throw himself into the water. In-
stantly an alarm was given, and the unfortunate man was °t
out, after having been in the water six or seven minutes. "1"°-
usual means of resuscitation were adopted, but without success.
The body, which await's a Coroner's inquest, was subsequently
identified as that of William Field, a greengrocer, residing in
Hammersmith.

A DEAR Klss.—A gentleman going down bY
a railroad a few days since, happened to be in company 104
alone with a pretty young woman. After paying her a grey
deal of attention on the journey, and being, u he though!°
very well received, he ventured, as they were passing throne
a long tunnel in the dark, just before their arrival, to take ri
kiss. The young lady said nothing, but when the car stopper
beckoned to a policeman, and gave the gentleman in ebargt:
for an assault. He was le ought before a Magistrate, and Anon
5/. for his conduct.— Wilts Independent.
ROMANTIC STORY.—The following romantic ,
•
story is related by the Sentinelle of Bayonne :—" Marie, an a
orphan girl, was returning one evening with a flock of sheepa
belonging to her aunt, who lived in the village of Licq, in rh°'.
Pyrerinees, and had brought her up from her infancy, when she'
heard cries of distress from the summit. of Montjaurat.. down
which she had herself descended a considerable way. Yieldief;
to her good feelings, she left her charge and re-ascended, unui
on a narrow pla.eau near the top, she saw a man in
..ttler,'
struggle with an enormous bear. With undaunted courage
she assailed the ferocious animal with her iron-shod crook:
and soon turned its rage upon herself. The man, thus freed
from the grasp of its redoubtable enemy, became again the
assailant, and, with the effective aid of the girl, at length
succeeded in destroying the animal. Meanwhile a violent
storm came on, and dispersed the flock of Marie. The
ways •
ways were steep and dangerous, and Afanech, the ybunt
Basque whom she had helped, seas grateful, collected he' altP
sheep, and drove them home. An intimacy naturally set"
sued. Marie was pretty and confiding, as well as brave. !PA

consequences were, that she became in a likely state to melS1"1 .

affection of Marie to his father, requested his consent te
marriage. The father, however, not only disapproved of trf
but commanded his son, under pain of disinheritance and
diction, to prepare to wed a brid- whose fortune would ipetea.l; ,
his own already ample store. Overwhelmed with despair, trt ! •
lover made a mutual vow to die together. A false sense of duty'
however, induced the yonth to comply so far with his fathweirfe
commands as to go to church and plight his faith to thet the
chosen for him by his inexorable parent. The menren

ing his father aside with marks of indignation. forced his ' t• 7„
through the assemb!ed crowd, and rushed with all his vel°e!l
to the well-known summit of Montjaurat, where the poor de-
serted Marie had arrived before him, faithful to the fatal assig:-
nation previously made. He called to her. She heard his
voice ; but, fearing his presence might shake her resolution'
she did not wait for his approach, but plunged down a tremen".•
deus precipice. The next moment Manech ftillOvred her down,
the gulph, and some days after their mangled bodies were found
lying close together on the rock below."
The orchards are presenting a highly promising
appearance. The oldest inhabitant cannot recollect a greater
profusion of blossom, and the early sorts are setting well on the
the trees. cider, it is expacted, will be very soon moderale
in price.— Western Luminary.
'Thursday morning as a little boy, named FrAnk-
lin Valentine, the son of Mr. Valentine, inspector of the h di,
vision of police, was sitting on the steps of a door in Green'
bank, \Yapping, a game cock, the property of Mr. Johnson•

a severe wound in his left. eye. The spur of the bird el-eel
just under the left eye, and the cock repeated his attacks rr„
he got the boy down, and then beat him severely with his w jogs
and spurs. Fortunately Mr. Johnson was near , and heard tre
cries of the child, and went to his assistance. After beerilf
the cock off lie took the child to Air. Bloomfield, surgni
High-street, Wapping, who dressed the wound, but pronoto-nea'
it dangerous, the spur having divided the nerve of the eye, 3 t
caused a atrabismus or squint. The cock was so ferocious tired
there is little doubt that, if left alone, he would have pick
fie
both the-child's eyes out. The owner has consented that the
cock shall be destroyed.
