MATCH-MAKING EXTRAORDINARY.—The Courrir,
Francais gives a humorous account of the result na,
ing one of Marshal Bugeaud's attempts at military CO° of
nization. About a year ago he founded the village
,0,
Fouka, settling in it 60 soldiers; they were all bsehe'wbs,
and, to provide them with wives, he sent them
66
steamer, in a body, to Toulon, where they foundrei
virgins, all warranted of good character. The 10.10%
had dowries, furnished by the state, of sums rialto
from 241. to 48/., and distributed in an inverse reed
to natural charms. Three interviews were elictol
between the matrimonial bands ; one, a distant
of
synoptical view; the second, still silent, an allotment
the brides and bridegrooms by name—the gentleteL
apparently, being allowed some choice; the third, r
wedding. There were fifty-nine marriages; one sot.:
being quite unable to reconcile himself to the remaillo;
maid. Ihe heroes returned with their brides, end
.Led
bachelor to Algiers; and the double column was revieLtb
by the marshal, each husband behind his spouse. The or
stood solitary and trembling in the rear of his 'Wm
comrades. The poor fellow quaked when the Inerinor
put to him the awful question, "Where is. Le,
wife ?"" Monsieur le Marechal," replied the finis
" all the others have wives." " Allons r returned
marshal, " you are not such a fool as I thought 90-1/
were." He was pardoned for his celibacy. Alas,
„ah
fared these military marriages ? A year had scar
elapsed when mest of those ladies fled from Fouka t° .0%
seducers of the army of Africa ; shamelessly bettiOlog
husbands, homes, and drums, without even regrettl
the ten hectares of land. Marshal Bugeaud had forne
ten to include conjugal fidelity among his orders et
day.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—OH Thursday vv"ni,-
k
young woman named Hannah Dawson, cut her tbr°
at her home, in Queen. street, Leeds. A young surge o°.o
was called in immediately, and on examining her, Pro
nounced her dead, and left her. She was then laid 04
a bed up stairs, uncovered, is', re Ainess for a coronerto
jury to view the bode. After alapse of about an ll° d,
one of the Leeds policemen, who was passing,, its. „,es
g
out of curiosity, to see the "deceased." His wish
complied with, and the policeman proceeded up et*.
and found her actually breathing. Another surge°,
was called in; she was then removed to the infirieerla:
and was on Friday vt•ry satisfactorily recoveritriA
Had the policeman's curiosity not led him to ere "el
unfortunate female she would, no doubt, in her exr,sed
state, have been starved to death, if she had not exPir
from loss of blood.—Leeds Mercury.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(Before Baron PARKE.) is
Joseph Tyler, aged 11, was charged with shooting
Mary Sarson on th 10th of August last.
Mr. Wing prosecuted.
The prosecutrix was gleaning in a geld at Queen'
borough, about half-past seven in the morning.
soner came into the fit Id with a gun, which he pointed
at a young girl named Gresley, and it made a clickisg
noise; he was then about five yards from her. The Pr();
secutrix asked him where his mother was, if she vls
gloateing in another field ? 11 replied, No, she bas
got something better to do." Ho
raid, " I'll sheet
you, and raised the gun and fired it at her, the OP;
t.n:s lodging in her lace, head, and neck. lie was reel
near to her, and she fell down. This evidence °I
contirmA by other witnesses, who also proved that
when he came into the field, some children asked if the
gun was loaded, and he said it was.
The slrgeon, who had attended the girl for the in;
juries she had received, stated that he,
et first, thought
it dangerous, though she had new recovered. 'o
The boy, in his defence, said that when. he went n$
the field Greasley and Sarson challenged him to 02;
them, and that Sarson said, he might if he liked t9e

of a common assault, and .entenced to six months' WI.
prisooment, with hard labour.

THE KING OF SPAIN.
The following paragraph appears in a Paris jotirsal.
called the Semaine. The circumstance to which :s
alludes, whether true or false, has been freely spoke-
of in the French capital for some considerable time;,.
"Is it, or is it not, true that in an obligation unaf'„
seingprive, written entirely by Don Francisco de Asst
in January, 1840, this Prince declares that to renal.
pense the services rendered or to be rendered, the s"•
v awes made or to be made, the measures past or t°
come, having for object his marriage with Queen Ml'
bella 11., of Spain, he constitutes himself debtor 10
Messieurs.
which shall become due. at the moment of the 06cial
celebration of the said marriage; that the said Oro
shall be considered as a holy and sacred debt, pass'
ing even before the obligations of the • State,
and that in order that the engagement subscribed may
have force and value, notwithstanding the mi-
nority of his Royal Highness the Infante Don
Francisco, his august father has taken part in the
contract in order to emancipate him specially
as regards
the contracted obligation, and to make himself resporr
sible for it ? 2. Is it or is it not true that this obli-
gation, signed by the Infante's father and son, was de:
posited with a notary at Paris ? 3. Is it or is it nut
true that a retrocession of 3,000,000 f. on the 8,000,060 w
forming the am,unt of the obligation, took place tio,
same day on the part of Monsieur in favour of
Count de —, to enable him to recompense the service!'
rendered directly to the Infante for the same object ald
from the same cause ; that on the sth of October for
lowing Count de --- consented in his turn to the dr
legation of 125,000 francs to Monsieur in cone'
quence of two journeys made to Madrid by the latter;
and that this obligation stipulated that the interest c'
that sum should be due to the said Monsieur ----
from the day on which the condition forming the bath
of the said obligation should be accomplished, ua
the day on which the payment of the capital should be
i
entirely effected? 4. Is it or is it not true that the leg,
existence of the obligation deposited with a notarYt';
we have said above, is proved by an ordonnance de refe.,
of the month of February, 1844, rendered contradictol
between —, who profited by principal obligation, 58
the depositor who pretended that the deposit had 01,
been made for four years? 5. Is it or is it not 11"-
that the magistrate before whom the affair came de;
Glared that the documents were sufficient to warrant
prorogation of the deposit until 1848? 6. Lastly,
or is not true that in a document signed Feb. 5, 1840, ho
the person who principally profits by the obligation,
following division is made:—Five-eighths, that is, al
million francs, divided into six parts, throe-sixths bel
to Monsieur --, one sixth to Count de
—, one 8:1
to Monsieur—, and one-sixth to Baron de ----I
