ceremony was performed by the Evangelical Bishop Dr. Eglet

those who feel an interest in the happiness of our revered Mo-
narch. It gives us reason to hope that his Majesty will find
in this union a source of domestic comfort which must be the
more desirable after the approaching marriage of the Princess
Louisa, and the separation of the King from all his daughters,
which will then take place. As we have now the happiness to
see all his Majesty's 'children here together,their cordial aspect,
and that of all the members of the Royal Family, is a presage
of the happiness with which this marriage will be attended. His
Majesty's consort will bear the title of Princess of Liegnitz,and
a special royal ordinance will be published on the occasion.

FXTRAOttnTNARY MORD ER.—T IWO is a re- I
pert of ii frightful crime committed not far from Paris by the
„Member of an Order respected in France. This functionary,
appniuted guardian to a young woman, mismanaged his trust,
anti; with the intention of concealing his conduct, wished
the girl to 'marry his son. She always refused, from en-
tertroning an attachment to a young man living at Paris.
The guardian saw this refusal with increasing displeasure,
as the time approached when he was to give an account
of Ilia guardianship. 'He came to Pada with his son, and left
his daughter, of the same age -with his ward, in the country.
but he returned suddenly, and arrived very late nt home.
A single servant saw his masters -return. The ward was
going to bed, when she heard a noise under -her windows'
in the garden ; she listened, and heard heavy blows ; she was
seized with fear, and went to her companion, and told her
Cibe would sleep with her. Her companion laughed at her
for her cowardice. and offered to change beds with her. The
ofFer was accepted. The grave for the victim being prepared,
for it was that which the young woman heard, die assassins
entered the chamber where they expected to find their prey.
!'tidy were armed with a mask of soft pitch;" they applied this
to the face of the sleeping person, and when she had ceased to
live, theycarried her to the garden, where the earth soon re-
ceived her. The agitation of father and son was excessive,
when they saw enter to breakfast her whom they believed in
her grave. She caught the alarm, sought for her companion,
found her not, left the house, and the Magistrates being in-
formed .of the matter, the guilty pair were arrested. The in-
?uiry into this business is now carrying on with activity,—

APAVOI NE SEcoND CRIME. Papavoine,
wishing to make the world believe that he is seized with an in.
voluntary madness at the sight of children, had long cast his
eyes on a youth confined at /a Force for adultery, the delicacy
of whose appearance made him look like a boy of 13 or 14 years
of age. he was making cards when Papavoine jumped on
hint, and struck him under the ear with a knife, which he had
concealed. The cravat prevented the blow from penetrat.
ing far. ,Papavoine then stabbed him four times more about
the stomach, but none of the ;minds were very serious in con.
sequence of the young man wearing a thick cotton waistcoat. Pa.
pavoine being disarmed, was immediately placed in a room,
whither a Juge dinstructima immediately repaired, accompa.
nied by his clerks ; one of his clerks, who is very fat, having
entered first, Papavoine struck this public officer violently on
the belly. On hieing interrogated as to the cause of his violence,
he replied, " that he was not forbidden to amuse himself in a
priSon, where he was kept too long for a person of his impatient
disposition." Nothing more could be got from him. He is
now placed in a straight waistcoat, and can do no injury with
hisobanda. The clerk required that his legs should also be
confined. Ten days before lie tried to bury a live coal in his
straw mattrass.—Mid.)
A serious accident happened on the stage of
Covent-garden Theatre on Monday night last. When the time
arrived for the commencement of the pantomime of The House
Heat Jack built, Mr. Barnes, who performs the character of
Ptentaloon, was inquired after, but could not be found. Alr.
Parsloe, 'the prompter, although he had never attempted any
thing of the kind, put on the dress, and succeeded in perform-
ing the character extremely well, until he arrived at the scene
where there is great bustle between Harlequin, Columbine,
Clown, and Pantaloi, when Mr. Parsh3el instead of avoiding
a blow from Harlequin's sword, received it in his right eye.
lie was carried off, unobaerved by the audience' but the cry
became general for Barnes, who did not appear in those curious
scenes of shaving by steam, cutting oft his head, &c. Mr.
Grimaldi came forward to apologize for the non-appearance of
Pantaloon, by informing the audience that he had met with a
serious accident, and was unable tQcomplete his performance
that evening. Medical assistance was immediately procured
for Mr. Parsloe, when the eye was discovered to have been
much hurt, and he was in a high fever. He has been confined
during the past week but is no* considered much better.

THE ETOILE.

FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR—My old friend the Doile has been sbewing
off some more of his superior information about England and
English things. I pity hbn. For I am sure he must have
some provoking practical wag for his reporter, who imposes on
the patriarchal simplicity of his -unsuspecting employer. A
few days since he informed us that it was transportation by the
law of England to kiss a girl under sixteen yews of age !•Since
his het els us that Mr. Canning,*not so long ago, said that
this country held a secondary place among the nations of
Europe.

Now, let me beg you, Sir,in charity to the Etoile, to inform
him, THAT MR. CANNING 'NEVER SAID ANY SUCH
NOR ANY THING AT ALI. LIKE IT ; and that it is not re.
served for the Etoile, with all his pitiful malevolence, to make
this country any other than what she is :
" Long may she hold the awful right,
And when thro' circling flame
She darts her vengeance in the fight
May JUSTICE guide her aim !"
He may parade his paltry pictures of what he calls " Mteurs
Britanniques," selections from the lowest scenes of the Metro.
polls, with the view to represent us as a set of barbarians.
The French people, like all other people of sense, know that
the records of the mob of any country do not furnish the most
amiable nor the fairest specimens of national habits and man-
ners. If we were to judge the French people from their snobs,
shade of St. Louis ! what must we think of the nation whose
soil was polluted by the horrors of the late REVOLUTION ?
The French papers do not, like ours, relate every squabble
which takes pLce in the Striits of the capital : if they did, the
English papers, did they not think it beneath them, might
outdo the Parisian wiseacre in examples of " French manners."
I have been in Paris myself, and speak of what I have seen
and known. But if any English paper could be found base
enough to represent the scenes of vulgar depravity which are
daily and hourly occurring in Paris as specimens of French
rnanners, the English people would reject with disgust and dis-
dain the attempt to fix the brutalities of the dregs of mankind

on a great and generous nation.
The Etoile seems to know a great deal about the Catholic
Association and their " Rent"—more perhapw than we know,
or than would be prudent for him to tell us. If he can, how-
ever, let him answer us this question ; for what purpose is this
rent collected.?. The bare eNistence of this Association is an
evidence more powerful than any words of the tolerant
spirit of this Government. The Etoile may writhe, but I
will hold him tight to the answer, which I call on him to give
me sincerely : does he believe that " the most tolerant land in
the world" would allow a society, called the Protestant Asso.
elation, whose avowed objects were the advancement of the
interests of Protestantism, to he organized and supported on
its soil ? and moreover.pertnit this Society to collect large sums
in furtherance of these objects, when it is easy to perceive TILE
ONLY WAY IN WINCH THE: OBJECTS OF RELIGIOUS
SOCIETIES CAN BE PROMOTED BY.. MONEY ii He knows
the French Government would allow'no such thing, and there-
fore it is idle for him to talk of the intolerance of this country
and the toleration of his own, with a fact like this staring him
in the face. He must be an ignis fatuus, and no Star.
Yours, &c. BRITANNUS.
