In its intelligence from Algiers, the Toalsnnais says
that the new battalions of Foot Chasseurs have sent so
many eick ta the hospitals as to bring to mind the epi-
demic complaints of 1532, when companies were reduced
to only three or tour effective men each. It acid., " The
ddiet of these troops, like all the rest on their first arri-
val in Africa, has been a sad one. Sent into the camps
during the sickly seasen, they have suffered more- than
the rest. The 3d battalion, after forming part of the ex-
peditioa to Blidah, returned to the camp of Dely Ibra-
him, where it has only 170 healthy men out of 750, its full
complement. The surgeon, Aeho had throughout the
campaign more than participated in the fatigues of the
m.ni under his charge, leas been so much overcome. by
seeing them in this distressing condition, that he has-de-
stroyed himself by opening the crural artery."

St. George's Hall, in the winter palace at St. Peters-
burgh, which lately fell in, was of immense dimensions,
and had just been repaired and decorated in a style of
magnificence, of
,which some idea may be formed when it
is known that there was used in it Carrara marble to the
value of between 500,000 and 600,000 fr. The Throne of
Ivan was one of the curiosities it contained.
A. superb granite column, 42 feet high, and surrounded

A man at Belmont in the Loire was so desperately ex-
asperated by a charivari given to-him, a few days since,

We find the following puff in the Temps. It is a
little overdone for the English reader who knows any-
tine- of the Royal gardens in England, or even of Covent-
garden Market, where peaches, apricots, and grapes, are to
be had in such perfection and abundance as to make it un-
necessary to send for them to France ; but it will do
very well for the Parisians :—" The Queen of England
is to give a grand dinner this week to her new Ministry.
On Saturday evening, before the door of Chevet, in the
Pailais Reyal, ten enormous cases sere being sent off.
They were marked ' Peaches, Apricots, Grapes,' and

" The Custom-house officers, in examining the bag-
gage of a traveller, who arrived on Monday on board
the Lady Saumarez steamer, found one of his trunks
full of pamphlets against the King, of caricatures, and
several copies of the letters published at London, and
inscribed to Louis Philippe. This individual was pro-
vided with a passport, delivered by the English autho-
rities, but he declared that he was born at Marseilles,
and had gone several years ago to Guernsey.
"He was then asked whether he had complied with
the law relative to the recruiting of the army, and as he
answered that he knew nothing about it, he was arrested
on two grounds, and placed at the disposal of the King's
Attorney. We have heard that the name of this tra-
veller is Bisona Pison.—From the Auxiliare Breton."—

The next Mail from the North of Africa is impatiently
expected ; there is reason to believe that it will bring
interesting news fram the Province of Oran. The steam-
ers Papin, Veloce, Cameleon, and Vantour, which left

take on board at that place a regiment which they will
convey to Africa.
It was generally reported at Toulon on the Bth, that
a new dispatch for the Minister of Marine suspended
the departure of the division of Admiral Casy, which

it would soon be known what is the destination of the
Trident and Hercule, which departed with such precipi-
tation that they left behind several officers and a good
many sailors. We are this moment informed that the
Genereux, which was to join them, had received counter
orders.--Le Commerce.
