MADEMOISELLE DE DIONTTENSIHIt AN AUTOBIO-
GRAPAY.--No romance of the present season will prove
more eetertaining than the " Memoirs of Mademoiselle
de Montpensier." There is a charm attaching to what
we know to be real far surpassing that pertaining to the
creations of the novelist. Mademoiselle de Montpensier
was a woman of great beauty, and from her youth up-
wards she displayed a wild untameable spirit. It is at
the period of her life when she has, as it were, almost
become a woman, that she appears happiest. Delighting
in amusement—dancing, theatricals, dress. Iler delight
is also in the stirring drama of intrigue, the details of
political manoeuvring, the concerns of a court. There
will be found in these memoirs a fund of anecdote,
amusing relation, intrigues, traits of manners, and re-
marks upon men and things which will prove a source of
great entertainment. Altogether the narrative is one of
extraordinary interest.—Sunday Tirees.
A DUCAL Sot? KITCHEN An example worth
imitating by our aristocracy has been recently set by his
Grace the Dake of Argyle, who has given orders 'to
shoot all the roes on his estate, in order to supply the
soup iritchen at Inverary. This order was carried into
effect on the 6th instant, by the gamekeapers on the
estate, who shot as many as 32 roes during the week.
These have been made into most delicious soup, and dis-
tributed:to the poor of the town. It is expected that the
supply of venison will continue for a number of weeks
more.—North British Mail.
The Senatus Acadernicus of the University and
King's College of Aberdeen, a meeting on the 11th
instant, unanim, usly conferred the degree of Doctor of
Laws on Alexander Reid, Esq., A.M., rector of the
Circus-place school, and James Gloag, Esq., teacher of
arithmetic and mathematics in the Edinburgh Academy.
