Regiment of the line, are to bring back from Algiers
the 23d of the line.

"It is to be regretted that these changes of
the troops are mad© at this season. We have
remarked with regret that the regiments sent
to Algeira generally take the field as seon, ng
they arrive. Thus the 16th Light Itt,font:-.):*- and the
56th of the Line, which arrived it the spring in the pro-
vince of Oran, were immediately included in the column
which burnt Tedekempt and took Mascara. The conse-
quence was such as might easily have been foreseen.
These regiments, which had not had time to get accus-
tomed to the climate, had a much greater number of sick
than the other corps. The same thing will happen
to the regiments which are now sent to take part in
the autumn campaign. It seems to us, that on the
return of the expeditions, the regiments which are to
come back to France should be sent home immediately,
and replaced by others, which would have some months
to be inured to the climate. This would be the more
easy as there is no deficiency of means of conveyance.
The Dedon frigate, lately arrived from Candia, has
just received orders to be ready to put to sea at the first
signal. We hear that it is to go .to Brest to take on
board troops for the colonies.
The Styx steam-boat is to take on board the Commis-
sioners who are to report as to the state of defence of
the coasts of Provence.

A telegraphic dispatch announces that the Dcdon left
Toulon for Brest on the 30th of August.—Le Commerce.
The Observateur cr Avesnes mentions the suicide of a
person of that town, by cutting his throat with a razor.
He had previously been seen by his wife with a pistol,
and dreading, as they were on bad terms, that he in-
tended to shoot her, she sought her safety in flight.
He left a letter in which he announced that he had
really intended to murder his wife and his son, and it
appears that this was fully his intention, for a few days
before his suicide, a little brass cannon was found on the
bed of his child placed so as to kill it, and which had
been fired, but without effect. It appears that the mind
of the unfortunate man had been much affected by the
calumnies of a servant whom he had turned out of doors.
"At Aspelaer near Alost," says the Constitutionnti,
." there is now living a family of four persons whose
united ages amount to 357 years. Three brothers in it
are of 93, 90, and 86 years respectively, and a sister is
88. The youngest brother is postman of the district,
and often walks five or six leagues. The father of this
race of Methusalems died at 99."

A letter from Florence, 22d ult., says :—" Prepara-
dons are making here for the third meeting of Italian
savans. This scientific congress is likely to be still
more numerous and brilliant than those of Pisa tuld
Turin, the Governments of Rome and Naples having re-
moved the prohibition to the visit of the professors of
those states. Several learned foreigners are expected,
and we also hope to see those distinguished men Oriuli
and Libri, one of whom is in Greece and the other in
Paris. The congress will open on the 15th of Septem-
ber, with a grand mass at the church of Santa-Croce,
after which, the members of the congress will meet in
the great hall of the Palazzo Vecchio. The opening
speech will be made by the Marquis do Ridolfi, the Pm-
sident, and immediately afterwards, the Presidents and
Secretaries of the different sections will be chosen. The
Grand Ducal government is doing everything in its
power to promote the object of the congress. The
library, museum, &c. of the Ricardi Palace (formerly
the Medicis) and all the public establishments, will be
opened to the members. Several fetes will be given
during the congress."
The evening before last, as the servant of a money-
changer, named Guiteau, on the Quai Pelletier, was
putting up the shutters, an enormous stone was hurled
against the window, and completely stove it in, while a
head was put through the window and seized a bowl of
gold. Mme. Guiteau, who was in the shop alone, hurried
to the door and called out " Thieves 1" but all around
the entrance were too much engaged in picking up some
pieces of money which had been scattered about, to at-
tend to her cries. The rogues had collected a tolerably
good booty, when two sergens-de-ville came up and
stopped further depredation. Fortunately the driver of
a fiacre on a stand near the spot marked two men as the
chiefs of the attempt, pursued them, and succeeded in
securing one who held in his hand a cap, into which he
had emptied the howl from the window, with 2,000 francs.
This fellow, who gave his name as Felix Bandier, is not
more than nineteen years of age. His confederate, Beau-
vais, who as well as himself was employed as shopman at
a wine-dealer's, has since been taken, and proms to be
about the same age. They are both committed for trial.
The changer's total loss will not exceed 300 fr.
The fete of St. Cloud commences next Sunday, and will

last three weeks. On each Sunday the Grandes Eaux
will play, and the Royal Manufactory of Forcelaine at
Sevres will be opened to the public.
We understand aat the " lighWingered gentry" made
a plentiful harvest at Versailles and St, Germain on San,
day last. It is generally asserted ttib &VedallollB have
been principally by a party of the English swell mob,
now on a professional trip to Paris. The police, how-
ever, are on the alert, but they candidly acknowledge
British supremacy in this branch, the French pickpocket
being a mere barbarian in skill as eompared with the ac-
Lomplished artioges front the tither side of la Manche.
Two eged persons at Granges, in the Haute Saone,
have met with a melancholy death. One of them, a fe-
male, who was 75,, had been drinking brandy freely, and,
haring approached Cie hearth, set fire to her clothes, and
rushed screaming into another room, where her husband,
who was paralytic, was sitting in an arm-chair, wrapped
up in a counterpane, The old man was not only unable
to render any assistance to his wife, but also to prevent
the fire communicating to his own clothes. Before as-
sistance arrived the wife was quite dead, and the old
man died almost immediately afterwards.
The exhibition of the works of students of the Ecole
des Beaux Arts (landscapes) will take place in that ih•
stitution on this and the two following days from ten to
four,

During the last month the Paris Savings' Bank re-
ceived 3,400,340 fr. from 24,257 depoAtors, of whom 3,124
were new, and paid 2,346,000 fr. out.
The wheat harvest is now all got in round Paris. The
crops of various kinds still on the ground are stated to
be inAtnusually good condition.
The official table of the prices of wheat in the French
markets, made up to the end of last month, show the
highest to have been 21fr. 47c. per hectolitre in those of
Mulhausen and Strasburg, and the lowest 17fr. 14c. in
those of St. Lo, Paimpol, Quimper, Hennebon, and
Nantes
The autumn meeting of the Paris races in the Champ
de Mars will commence on Sunday, the 19th instant,
when the two special prizes will be run for. On Thurs-,
day, the 23d, the principal prise for horses four years old
and upwards, and the royal prize, will be contended for;
and on Sunday, the 26th, the principal prize for three
year olds and the grand royal prize, According to a
new regulation by the Minister of the Interior, the run-
ning for the principal prize for four year olds and up-
wards will be confined to one course of four kilometres,
instead of three heats of the same distance.

Advertisements announce that the whole line from Lon-
don to Brighton is to be opened on Tuesday, the 21st
instant, The inhabitants of Brighton, alive to the emi-
nent advantages which must accrue to them from the
successful and rapid accomplishment of this enterprise,
have determined upon giving a public dinner to the Direc-
tors on Monday, the 20th instant, in -testimony- of the
opinion universally entertained of the indefatigable zeal
and laborious exertions by which they hare brought the
work to so splendid an issue. The Directors will make a
preliminary trip throughout the line on the 14th instant,
and the intervening week will afford ample time for
.per-
tenting all the arrangements consequent an the opening.

SATISFACTION.—An Indian shoots his enemy
from behind a tree ; a Turk will strike his handjar into
the heart of his fue while he slumbers ; and a South
Atherican ,Spaniard will rip up on the spot the
bowels of one who has insulted. him ; while an -Eng-
lishman'oi.`e, Frenchman calls out the man who has cast
a stain upon his honour, and running him through, ac-
cording to the rules of fence, or blowing out his brains at
the dropping of a handkerchief; walks away and calls
this a fair and open revenge—receiving the satisfaction of
a gentleman.
