the weather has been fine and the wind fair, in the course

Orders were received here on Thum-ay to stop the ship
John Flemming, bound to India ; it appears she has stores
and officers on board, on Government ace.2unt, and that
there is also on board a pack of hounds. Govenment con-
ceives this latter to be a violation of the contract; be that
as it may, however, the ship has passed by on her voyage
yesterday.

Her Majesty the Queen will give a grand state

We have every reason to believe it will be the last state ball

this season.
THE WATERLOO BANQUET.—It has reached
us from an unquestionable source, that the attendance of offi •
cers who participated in the glories of Waterloo, at the annual
banquet of the Duke of Wellington, on Thursday next will far
exceed in number those of previous years. No less than eighty
have signified their intention to dine with the Noble and gal-
lant Duke.
A notice of an " Attempt to Assassinate the
Queen appears in our columns, under the head of " Latest
Intelligence." As we can find no statement of the kind in
any London paper except The Sun, (and, even there, it is
given on the authority of a " Correspondent" merely,) we
trust that it has originated in some baseless rumour, or blun-
dering misconception. If the attempt has been made, it 'mist
have been the act of insanity, as we do not believe there is,
amongst the most reckless extremes of political sections in Eng-
land, a wretch so brutalized as to sins at a deed of such Wanton
and unmitigated wickedness. We sincerely hope that the
account may prove to be a foundationless rumour, and nothing
more, as the effects of sudden alarm are to be dreaded, if the
present interesting condition of her Majesty have been rightly
reported by received authorities.—Hull Advertiser.
A Havre paper gives the following account of a
dangerous experiment, which had nearly verified the ancient
adage of the two stools :—" The owner of a fine Newfound-
land dog, walking the other day on the south jetty with a friend,
was boasting of the qualities of the animal, and the certainty
of his saving a man from drowning, which his companion ques-
tioned. When they had reached that part of the jetty which
is unprotected by any parapet, the master of the dog pushed
his incredulous friend into the outer basin. where the water was
deep though calm. The dog justified the praises of his master,
and instantly plunged after the fallen man, seized him by the
coat, and was bringing him sate to shore, when another dog
of the same species, which happened to be on the north jetty,
saw what was going on, and determined to have his share in
the salvage. He plunged in, seized another portion of the
drowning man's coat; but as the respective masters of the two
dogs were at opposite points, they pulled in opposite directions,
till two portions of the coat were torn off, and carried by the
dogs to their owners, leaving the real object of their endeavour
to his fate. This would have been inevitable, had not his kind
friend, who fortunately was a good swimmer, plunged in and
brou:‘ssiliotiliitiems,salfheetoftahme koluuasy.
"hull-fighter, lately gave at
Seville a new proof of his almost incredible good fortune, and
no less of mastery of this dangerous profession. and of
the justice of tl7e high reputation awarded to him in it.
i,rigo,
one of the Picadores, was so closely pressed as to
have no other means of escape than throwing himself from his
horse, but, in the pressure of the moment, he fell head fore-
most, and immediately upon the neck of the infuriated
bull. At this sight the spectators were thrown into the utmost
alarm, and cries were heard all around; but at the very in-
stant when the death of the fallen Picador seemed inevitable,
the generous Montes, with his wonderful agility, dashed for-
ward to save him. Seizing the furious bull by the tail, he
dragged him, in despite of his vast bulk, to the centre of
the arena, and there made him swing now to one side,
now to the other, until the weary beast fairly bolted away,
leaving Montes calm as if nothing had happened, to be over.
