General BOURMONT is particularly forti.nate
in timing his absences. He was absent from Waterloo,
and BONAPARTE was defeated ; he was absent, at Algiers,
when the French Revolution occurred, and hurled him
from power; and he was absent at Oporto when Lisbon
was taken from Do❑ MIGUEL. He might be called the
absent man. _

It is hoped that one of the earliest measures
of the Queen of PORTUGAL'S Government will be to pro-
vide for those arrears of interest which have arisen out of
the bad faith of MIGUEL ; but that act of justice will be
hastened by the recognition by Great Britain, which will,
in fact, put it the sooner in the power of the Regency to
do it by at once establishing its credit. We do not believe
that the Government of Donna MARIA will delay thi.
longer than is absolutely neces,ary ; but the means, if not
supported by this country, may be wanting. The arrears
of interest on the Portuguese loan, chiefly in English
hands, are five years and a half, and amount to between
' 300,0001. and 400,0001. sterling.
We hear with great pleasure, that the KING
is highly gratified by the passing of the Irish Chuch Tem-
poralties Bill. His MAJESTY, it is said, and we believe
truly, is firmly attached to the present Ministers, and to
the policy of their government ; but he is, unfortunately
for the nation, surrounded by Tories, who are always ring-
ing in the Royal ear the chngers of reform, without sayine
a word on the still greater danger of resisting reform both
in the Church and in
.the State. In some way the
two Hou,es of Parliament must be brought to assimi-
late better than they do at present before the next
session ; and whether this must be effected by advancing
the cause of reform in the Lords, or depressing it in the
Commons, remains to he determined. We have no doubt
about the decision of this question ultimately.--Leeds

TRAVELLING A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
—The following curious advertisement is extracted from
the Caledonian Mercury of July 10, 1721 Whereas
it hath ben reported that the stage coach to London path
not performed in nine days, as was promised in their hills.
Now this may satifie, that the badness of the weather and
roads beat down the horses of a sadden, which could no,
be prevented by the undertaker ; but for the future 'twill
be punctually performed in dine days, at least till Michael
mas ; one of the owners being now dow❑ to put in fresh
horses."

IRISH STEAMBOAT DINNER.—Such a
dinner ! vc: gods, such a dinner ! Spirit of Ude forbid
that I ever again assist at such another ! Such steamed
heel, steamed carrots, steamed mutton, steamed pork,
steamed onions, steamed grease, filth, fowls, cabbage,
black-puddings, and tripe !—all apparently steamed in the
same boiler that steamed us along, and flavoured with the
same oil that prevented friction in the machinery and sup-
plied the lights in the engine-room. Yet our goodly coin •
pany, fifty-two in number, men, women, and children,
ate, drank, jostled, shoved, carved, grumbled, called.
scolded, quarrelled, gobbled, and gabbled, with a velocity
and pertinacity scarcely exceeded by the rapidity and en
durance of the lever that set our paddles turning.—
Frazer's Magazine.
The proprietors of a stage-coach on one of the
roads in Ireland having, in order to signify their readines
for action and their determination to put down all npposi
tion, caused the well-known motto " Paratus ad arnia'

to be painted in large letters o❑ the pannels of the coach
the inscription was thus spelled over and construed by a.
Irishman whose eye it happened to catch :—"P-a•r-a-t-u s

use of teihng us that? Isn't there praties every where ?"

On Tuesday evening last, a poor woman

. _
the parish of Llanwinio, in this county, having occasion,
to leave her home, gave her infant child to the care of a
girl who lodged in her house. When the mother re-
turned, she found her child in bed, which she suppose,
was asleep, and not wishing to disturb it from its slumber,
let it remain; she then went to work in the garden, ant
when she again returned took the child into her arms for
the purpose of feeding it, when, to her astonishment, slo
discovered that the child was dead. On examining the
body there were marks of violence found on the throat,
and suspicion fell on the above mentioned girl of havir4;
strangled the child. She absconded the same evening, zinc
has not since been heard of, although persons have beet
sent in pursuit.— Carnarvoz Journal.
DUEL EXTRAORDINARY.— 4n affair of
honour took place last week, not a hundred miles from
Penzance, between a Captain —, of the merchant ser
vice, and a Mr. T—, cabinet maker, &c.—lt appear-
the parties had ben-n sacrificing pretty liberally at the shrine
of 13acchus, when some trifling quarrel arose, which tlo
others present, who were disposed to mike it a subject o!
merriment, declared nothing could settle but an appeal tt
arms, and persuaded them to lave recourse to that satin
faction due from one gentleman to another. In vain the:,
pledged themselves to meet at morning's dawn, the insult
was insisted on as being so gross, that nothing but tit
instant death of one of them could atone for it. Pistol

Out, tee deadly we ipons were placed by the seconds in th,
trembling hands of the parties, with sundry necessary ex-
hortations to " screw their courage to the sticking place.'

them took effect, but the report was an loud th4t it hrought

the combatants to their sober senses, and it was with no

little complacency that they received the high eulogiums
of their friends on the cool courage that they had evinced,
and their warm congratulations on the happy termination
such a bloodless " affair of honour.".--Cornwall

ALLEGED MURDER OF JOHN P. WOOD.

—Tuesday night's Gazette contains a notice, signed by
the Secretary of State, offering a reward of 1001. for tl.e

discovery of the murderer.

An action was brought on Thursday last, at
the Ennis Assizes, by the High Sheriff against O'Goßoos
NlAnox for the expenses of his election in 1830.—Verdict

for the plaintiff, 601. damages, and 6d costs.
AN ÜBIQUITOUS LADY.—It has been men-
tioned as a proof of the universal feeling in favour of the
le,titimate drama, that Mr. Sheridan Knowles' WV,

has appeared at a dozen how,es an the same night

A horse-dealer had a son, who, being a lad
of spirit, proposed, as a novel expedient, to open a stable on
the principle of strictly honest dealing ; but the father,
who was a prudent man, discouraged the idea, observing,
,‘ That he disliked speculation."

keeper at one of the watering places announces, as the
main recommendation of his dinners, that ill, y are pre-
pared " by a conk engaged from the principalhot.l in tile

town, which is known as the birthplace of the immortal
Shakspeare."
OILING A WEATHERCOCK.—It is neces-
sary to oil the vane on the top of the spire of Sali,bury
Cathedral once a year, and this can only be accomplished
by a person climbing t the top of the giddi eminence.
Last week a man named SAMUEL APLIN performed this
_ _ .

venturous exploit for the 60th time.
INEVITABLE RESULT OF COMBINATIONS.
—Extract 6 ova the evidence of Mr. Aaron Lees, of Marl.

cheater, before the Factory Commission :—Q. " 11 ive
you ever known a turn out to succeed ?"—A. " Never ;
every one, without exception, has ended in a reduction of
wages imm diately after, on account of the influx of fresh
hands causing a superabundance of labour."

One of the contributors to the " Sporting
Magazine" g;vee an account of a fawn, which was found
in Sir A. CIIICHE,TER'S park, being suckled by a I mind
bitch, afterwards introduced into the kennel, and received
with every hospitality by the dog,. It subsequently died,
as the milk of its nurse did not agree with it.

AN ANIMATED PREACHER.—A short time
ago, as the Curate of Arromanches, near Bayeux, in Nor-
mandy, who is of remarkable rotundity, was preaching at
Asnelles, he ,became so animated with his zeal, and urged
his doctrine with such force of action, that he first shook

he pulpit from its base, and then overbalancing it with
his weight, frll prone amongst his auditors, doing their
bodies as much evil as he was anxious to do good to Ulric

An interesting discovery has lately been made
at Rome, in the vineyard of Dr. Luri, between the gates

of St. Sebastian and St. Paul.

The celebrated mosaic

made by SOSUS PERGAMUS, and mentioned by PLINY,
lib. 25, sec. 25, has been found. This mosaic represents

the remains of a dinner left on a floor, bones of ebickens,
fish, lettuce leaves, a mouse gnawing these fragments, &c.
Prmiv states that two doves on a vase were represented

on the mosaic, but this part of the work has been datna,jed
by the construction of a wall near the place where it was
deposited.

A NOTABLE VISITER.—Among the Nisi-
ters to FORREST'S exhibition on the Calton-hill, the other

day, Mts. BUTLER, the venerable matron, we sometime
ago took notice of, and who completed her 105th year in
June last. She expresses herself highly delighted with
Mr. FORREST'S kindness and attention, he having heau'd
her to the foot of the hill, and invited her back with her
young daughter, who is only 80 years of age, an invit2t-
-641 which the old woman readily promised to accept.
When asked her opinion of the Statuary, she replied, " I
hae travelled far, and seen mony braw sights, but the like
o' that I ne'er saw afore !"
Dr. Antommarchi has addressed the follow.
ing letter to the Kiag of the French :

" Paris, Aug. 2.
sire,_Wben celebrating the anniversary of the great
_ _

days of July, your Majesty -heightened the enjoyment of
the festival by the homage paid to the memory of the
Emperor Napoleon ; but the feelings which dictated this

august ceremony will not be fully satisfied until the remains
of this great man shall cease to repose in a foreign land—
it belongs to your Majesty to claim them from England.
The success of your demand, Sire, cannot be doubtful,
and I tiffer myself to your Majesty to go to St. Helena to
collect and bring back these glorious relics.

TREMENDOUS FALL OF LIMESTONE
CLIFF AT MARCROSS.-011 Thursday, the 24th of July,
an iiiimense avalanche of the lofty cliff at Marcross, in this
county, took place, and it is calculated that 200,000 tons
of limestone rock were precipitated upon the beach. It
has unfortunately occurred very near one of the newly-
recited lighthouses, and though there is no immediate
danger, yet, when what old LELAND so aptly calls " the
rages of Severn" are considered, there is no calculating
hew soon these substantial and solid fabrics might he
undermined. A large party from Cowbridge and its
vicinity had been spending the day on the Marcross rocks,
and some of the parry (of the families of the Rev. ROBERT
KNIGHT and T. BASSETT, Esq., of Welsh St. Donets) had
on y left the spot a few minutes before the fall took place.

entlemen and the engineer, Mr. FIELD, occupied seats
in it. It proceeded to a distance of ahout three miles be-
