A VETERAN AMAZON.
The Indioateur of Bordeaux has opened a subscrip-
tion in behalf of a heroine whose history is Oils related
by the journal above-mentioned :—" There,hag been
staying at Bordeaux, for several days past, 9.4, poor
woman, already advanced in age, who has passesi her
winter days in receiving assistance from some poor
people, and in the cold and wet nights slept is
granges or stables, for want of means to procure
a better lodging. Catherine Rohmer was born at
Belmar in 1782. her father was a sergeant, and
her mother followed the camp. At the siege of Cal-
abria she saw her father killed, and at the battle of
Fleurus a cannon-ball carried off the head of her
mother. In 1802, Catherine Rohmar married Fran-
cois Girard, the drum major of the 62d half-brigade.
A.sutler, like her mother, she followed the division of
General Donnadieu, was present at the taking of
Saragossa, entered with the division in Porl.ugal, and
afterwards returned to Barcelona. At this epoch she
had already eight sons -all following her rerm.e.nt.
From Barcelona she went to Austria with the division
of General Charriere, and received a lance wound at
the battle of Wagram. She was present at the taking
of Vienna, and also at the battles of Glogkau, Lutzen,
and Bautzen ; accompanied General Rapp to Daniztc,
stayed a short time at Dresden, and from thence
passed several months in garrison at Naples. Ever
ready to support the fatigues of war and expose her
life in attending to the wounded, she returned again
to Spain, and was present at the taking of Girona,
where her husband was decorated. On this occasion
she acted as a soldier herself, and taking up a musket
fought against the enemy, who for a moment seemed
likely to be victorious. Attached to the expedition
tent against Russia, she went to Warsaw, Cracow,
and even as far as Moscow. In the retreat, Catherine
Rohmer crossed. with the first division, the bridge of
the Beresina, and v. as counted among the 25 men
who alone remained of the four battalions of 1,000 men
each who entered Russia. At Courbevoie, near Paris,
her regiment was reorganised. She took part in the en-
counters of Chalons, Troyes, Bar-sur-Aube, and
Brienne, and was at Fontainbleau when Napoleon. abdi-
cated. With her husband she set out to follow the _Em-
peror to the island of Elba, and had then ten sons in
the army. She returned to Paris, and lastly was present
at the battle of Waterloo. In 1815, her husband was
appointed adjutant in the artillery. In 1823, she fol-
lowed Girard to Spain, where he was killed by a mus-
ket shot between Barcelona and Gracia. She returned
alone to France, and married Antony Varin, a sergeant-
major, accompanied the latter to Algeria, and was pre..
sent at the taking of Algiers, Bona, Mascara, Oran,
and Constantine. In this place she lost her husband
and two of her sons, and was herself wounded at
Bougie and in the engagement of the Maison Carree.

The Government prosecution against the proprietor
of the Nation has failed. There being no prospect of the
jury coming to an agreement, yesterday (Thursday), about
two o'clock, they were discharged by the consent of the
Crown and the traverser. We understand they were nearly
equally divided in opion, there being seven for conviction,
and five for acquittal. That they could have agreed una
verdict of acquittal was scarely to be hoped for.—Dublin

The Philadelphia Gazette states that some armed
schooners, brigs, and small steamers, are now fitting at New
York, for the purpose of cruising in the Gulf of Mexico.
Lieut. T. D. Shaw of this city is named as having been or-

THE MlLE.—There is a great difference in the num-
ber of yards in a mile, in different countries. The following
table will be useful :—England, or America, 1760 yards ;
Russia, 1109; Italy, 1476; Scotland and Ireland, 2200;
Poland, 4400 ; Spain, 5028 ; Germany, 4866 ; Sweden and
Denmark, 7223 ; Hungary, 8800.
EXPOSURE TO THE :;LlN.—There are few points
which seem less generally understood, or more clearly proved,
than the fact, that exposure to the sun, without exercise
sufficient to create free perspiration, will produce illness; and
that the (same) exposure to the sun, with sufficient exercise,
will not produce illness. Let any man sleep in the sun, he
will awake perspiring and very ill—perhaps he will die. Let

fact is, that not only the direct rays of the sun, but the heat
of the atmosphere, produce abundance of bile, and powerful
exercise alone will carry off that bile.—Popular Er, ors Es-

and upwards, and that he would be totally ruined and like-
wise his family, unless aided by the benevolent in the western
part of of the county of Kent. It, however, happened that Mr.
Harmer had only a few minutes previously read a paragraph in
the Maidstone Gazette, cautioning the public against being im-
posed on by this individual, and stating that the signatures
to the petition were forgeries. He, theref
rial, oie
whereupon , told the man
he should detain him and his memo
fellow set off at full speed from the front of the house to-
wards the river, and would doubtless have escaped, had
not Mr. Harmer raised an alarm to some people who were
making hay in the Park, when some of the females raft
and got over the Park fence, seized and held him securely
until some of Mr. Ilarmer's servants came up and took
him into custody. On being conveyed before the
Rev. Mr. Renouard, a neighbouring justice, the man ad-
mitted that the memorial was a fabrication, and that his
name, instead of being John Gibbs, was William Miles. Mr.
Renouard committed him for examination to the lock-up at
Dartford, and he will, no doubt, be convicted and punished
as a rogue and vagabond. Amongst the stgnatures recom•
mending the petitioner were the Rev. E. G. Marsh, Vicar
of Aylesford ; the Rev. W. Valiance, Lady Maria Finch, the
Rev. C. R., Sir J. 11. Horley, Ashenden and Son, Colons
Best, Edward Wickham, the Rev. J. Shepherd, and 2104

CONFLAGRATION AT THE BARRACKS OF HORFIELD,
NEAR Bnisrot..—On Saturday night, at about ten o'clock, a
most alarming conflagration was discovered to have broken
out in the saw mill and timber stores of the new barracks for
Bristol, the distance from Bristol being upwards of two miles,
and it having been there supposed that the light in the
horizon, which was most clearly seen from every part of the
city, was the Aurora Borealis, a considerable time elapsed
before the engines arrived, and by that time the whole of the
engine •house, the saw mills, carc?nters' shops, and vast
quantities of timber which lay •araund, were completely
enveloped in flames. The extents of Lito toes is understood to
be about 3,000 F.

ALARMING FIRE.—Shortly Wore eight o'clock on
Saturday night, an alarming tire was discovered raging upon
the premises in the occupation of Mr. Bridgeway, a pianoforte
manufacturer, Noel-street, Soho. The dames originated,
from some cause at present unknown, in the first floor,
in which a deal cf work was deposited. The stock being of
an easily ignitable character, the fire progressed most fear-
fully, and very speedily the flames were to be perceived
rushing out of the windows, both front and back, with the
greatest impetuosity. The adjoining premises were the
warehouses of Mr. Aldous, a pawnbroker, and for some time
the greatest excitement prevailed amongst the poor inhabi-
tants lest the dames should extend to that building and de-
stroy the pledges. The tire was extinguished by half-past
nine o'clock. The damage done to the stock upon the pre-
mises must be considerable, for the flames passed completely
round both floors. The same premises were destroyed by a
fire twelve or eighteen months since; they were then used
as a coach factory.
