FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

adjoining a flower-garden at Stratlifielilaaye, from which
the late Duchess used frequently to feed him with bread
from her own hands. During the battle the Duke was
on this horse fifteen hours without once dismounting, and
it has never been ridden since that dry. It is a small
chestnut horse, slightly made ; and as it was quite a colt
at the time of the battle, it is wonderful how its strength
was equal to the excessive fatigue it must have undereone.
There is a proverb in some parts of England that a
chestnut horse is always a good one, and that it will always
do more work than any horse of the same size of any
other colour, and this horse seems to furnish an illustra-
tion of its truth.— Gardener's Magazine.
Don Pedro has paid the Dublin Steam
Company the debt due to them for having detained their
two vessels (the Birmingham and Britannia) a period
of nearly two months after their charter for the carriage
of troops from England had expired. The City of
Dublin Company have at length been paid the balance of
their claims, amounting to 4,0001. ; and it must be ad-
mitted on all hands that they well deserved it.—Dublin
Evening Post.
On Tuesday morning last an examination of
Iseveral prisoners engaged in the riot of the preceding day,
in consequence of the body of a pauper having been re-
moved to the anatomical school at Cambridge for dissec.
lion, took place at the town gaol, before the Vice-Chan-
cellor, the Mayor, and several other Magistrates; when
seven of them were committed for further examination,
but afterwards liberated on bail, and the remainder dis.
charged on their own recognizances.
Lord Frederick Fitzclarence now unites in
his own person the appointments of Aide-de-Camp said
Equerry to his Majesty, Gentleman of the Horse, and
Assistant Adjutant General at the Horse Guards. The
last-mentioned office is, however, understood to he hono-
rary, the duties and the salary of it being performed and
received by Major-General Gardiner, the first Assistant
Adjutant General to the Forces. Lord Frederick has
arrived at Eaton-square, from his seat, Etal House,
Northumberland. It is generally credited in the circles
of the United Service Clubs that the Secretary at War
has solicited the concurrence of the General Commanding
in Chief to his plan for the abolition of the offices of
Adjutant and Quartermaster-Generals, respectively held
by Sir Willoughby Gordon and Major-General Macdonald.
It is proposed, however, to retain an assistant in each of
those departments, to be under the control of the Secre-
tary at War.
FUNERAL OF CAPT. FENTON, M.P.--The
funeral of this much lamented gentleman took place yester-
day, and was attended by more than two hundred gentlemen,
and about fifty of the Armed Association, (of which he
was captain)) wearing white favours and gloves. The
hearse, drawn by six horses, was followed by two mourn-
ing coaches and twelve private carriages. The chief
mourner was M. S. Kenny, M.D., of Halifax, brother-in-
law of the deceased. But for the wetness of the weather,
the precession would have been much larger ; and the
closing of the shops, while it passed, testified how much
their late representative was respected by his fellow towns-
men. Captain Fenton was in his 52d year.—Hudders-
field Express.
DREADFUL SUICIDE AT THE DANISH
MINBTER's RESlDENCE.—Yesterday an inquest was held
at the Feathers' Tavern, Grosvenor-place, Pimlico, on the
body of Doris Jessin, aged 29, a nurserymaid, in the
establishment of Baron Biome, the Danish Minister, at
No. 39, Grosvenor-place. About nine o'clock on Wed-
nesday night, one of the footmen, named May, was passing
by the dining-room door, when he observed a red stream
issuing from underneath the door. The lady's maid, who
was standing by, said port wine had been spilt, but, on
opening the door, the deceased was found with her throat
frightfully cut, lying in the midst of a pool of blood, and
a razor near her. She was quite dead. The deceased,
who was evidently enceinte, bad latterly been observed to
be very desponding, but the cause was not known, and it
did not now transpire who was the father of the child.
She had had two illegitimate children in her own country.
It appeared that she supped with the governess, and on
leaving her she said, " I'll go and do something more."
Shortly after she was found a corpse. She had frequently
been discovered alone, and crying bitterly. Verdict—

Insanity.
BARRISTERS 'V. ATTORNEYS.---At a meet,
ing of the practising attorneys of this town and neigh-
bourhood, at the White Lion, on Thursday last, a memo-
rial to the High Sheriff was adopted, respecting the
admis•don of attorneys to advocate causes in the new
Sheriff's Court. We understand that the Sheriff has
ntituated his intention to follow the practice of the old
county courts, and admit barristers anti attorneys to
practise indiscriminately ; and that one of the Judges has
expressed to Mr. Maude, the Sheriff's Assessor, his appro-
bation of that course. It will thus remain open to the
parties in a suit, either to retain counsel, or to commit
their cause to the hands of their attorneys.—Hudders-
field Express.
When Lord Seagrave came of age a grand
ball was given at the castle, which was honoured by the
presence of his Majesty, then Duke of Clarence. Jerry
Hawkins had an invitation to it, and his wardrobe being
overhauled for the occasion, he was found wanting only
in a new pair of lcerseytnere breeches, which were deemed
absolutely necessary for the Royal presence ; and for the
1 first and last time in his life his hair was powdered.
Now, Jerry bethinking himself that dress breeches, and
dress breeches only, would be rather an unprofitable
article in his wardrobe, had them so shaped as to answer
the united purposes of the ballroom and the saddle. They
were cut longer at the knee than dress breeches should he
cut, and having an eye to the future, an extra button was
placed at be back of the leg for the boot. This button
was not lost on the Royal Doke, who, no doubt, was
m tile acquainted with the character of the man, and by
way of joke he addressed him thus :—" Pray, Mr.
Hawkins, do you ever wear boots ?" " Please your
Royal Highness," replied Jerry, " I very seldom wear
shoes." Lord Alvanley could not have given a readier
answer. There was a good deal of the " nemo me impure"
about it, and much in the style of the old Squire Leche,
of Cheshire, of whose sayings and doings I fear I have a
Itngth exhausted my stock."--New Sporting Magazine.t
Zarco del Valle, the new Minister of War,
ad interim, in Spain, is the intimate friend of the Marquis
tie las Amarillas, who, when in the same office in 1820,
named him his Secretary General. Zareo del Valle was
afterwards appointed to go to Naples as Minister Plenipo-
tentiary, but the fate of the Neapolitan Constitution
prevented Lisp; oceeding to his destination. He was
ultimately created Captain General of Arragon. In
this station, however, he did not show sufficient energy
against the Royal insurgents ; in consequence, he was
called to the functions of Political Chief of Catalonia.
Being, in 1823, declared impure, and at a later period
declared impurifiable, he was relieved from his disgrace by
the special favour of the King in 1832. He was originally
in the corps of engineers, and he commenced his functions
by re-organising the War Department, and re-establishing
the Staff created by Ballasteros in 1815. In 1820 the
officers who composed the Staff took part with the
Constitutionalists. The Prince d'Anglona, who is ap-
pointed Captain General of Andalusia in the room of
General Abadia, was a warm parti"au of the Revolution
of 1820. He was exiled in 1823, and obtained his
pardon in 1831, but Ferdinand would never intrust him,
with any employment. It is proposed to establish Urban
Guards in Old Castile. It is said that there is not a good
understanding between the Regency and the Ministry, but
the Queen continues to support the latter with great
firmness.
SUBMARINE FOREST.—" This very singular
phenomenon occurs on the eastern shore of the island of
Aranmore, on the coast of the county of Donegal. It was
pointed out to us in 1827 by the boatmen who conveyed
us from Rutland to Nranniore. The stumps of trees are
of various lengths, from a few inches to six or eight feet
above the bog stratum on which they originally grew.
This stratum is now below the surface of the sea ;—and
at high water the whole remains of the forest are from six
to twenty feet beneath the surface of the water. When
the tide is out, a considerable number of the stumps are
city, and appear to protrude frotn sand, but this sand is
merely a covering which has been superimposed in the
bog. The stumps may be observed by a keen eye at an
immense depth beneath the water as we approach the main
land. Submersed forests have been discovered on the
eastern coast of England, and in Scotland. Their exist-
ence has been variously accounted for, by supposing that
the bed of the waters of the ocean maintained a higher
level now than they did formerly ; or, that owing to !ome
convulsion, the land on which the trees grew subsided.
The most satisfactory reason which has been given appears
to hr., that the bog and the trees which it supported
moved, as we know bogs frequently do, from a higher to
ears
a
lower level—this, from the appearance of the land, app
to have been the case at least with the submarine forest
on the coast of Donegal."—Cork Constitution.
SALE OF -A WIFE.—Ou Saturday morn-
ing last, a man named Samuel Hay, residing at Midgley,
in this parish, sold his wife, at the market cross, in this
town, to a neighbour, for ten shillings, throwing down
,txpence for luck. As the town authorities are very
properlyinstituting legal proceedings against the parties,
we shall not, at present, offer any comment on this dis-
graceful transaction.—Huddersfield Express.
