LORD J. RUSSELL.—The statement going round the
nswspapties of Lord J. Russ:dl's protracted visit to the
Continent is much exaggerated ; for we are assured that
hiA lordship doe 4 not cooten !Yet() a longer absence from:
Enland than that which the Parliamentary recess will
aff:)rd.

The Constantinople journals state that the Turkish
Government had just opened a credit of 150,000 f. to
Anti Pacha for the grand ball which he gave in London
on Ttieseay.

hot dinner of roast beef and plum-puddmg,a pint of ale,

WEOLESALS POISONING BY STRYCHNINE.—A wealthy
young farmer in a parish near Crediton having, in com-
mon with many of his neighbours, suffered much from
the ravages of rooks (which have a peculiar relish for
wheat just sown as well as for grubs), purchased a large
quantity of strychnine about five or six weeks since,
which having dissolved, he steeped several bushels of
late spring wheat in the liquid, and then sowed it in one
of his fields, which in a few days may be said to have
been perfectly blackened with the dead bodies of the
poor "caw caws," several bushels of them having been
collected.
REYOUITIONISTS IN FRANCE. The revolutionary
movement in France has two great centres, which are
perfectly distinct and independent of each other. They
are sometimes opposed, but often act in junction, ac- ,
*circling to circumstances. The one has always had its
principal seat in Paris, where 'projects and systems are
devised ; the head-quarters of the other are at Lyons,
where the mass of the people is more easily and more
surely acted upon. In fact, Paris is, in the revolutionary
scheme, the head that plans—Lyons the arm that is ex-
pected to execute. In the associations of Lyons may be
found men of nearly all political colour—red, white,
blue, and black ; and, so far from being exclusive on
account of different shades of opinion, they seek, on the
contrary, to draw within their sphere all the elements of
discontent that are to be found in the surrounding pro-
vinces.— Tim dd Correspondent.
A WIFE-POISONER PUNISHID.—A Dutch journal
contains the following singular account of the escape
of a woman of Zevenhuisen from being poisonel
by her husband, and of the prompt chastieement
of the latter. A man whose name is not given, availed
himself of the opportunity of his wife's quitting the
dining table for some domestic purpose, and rapidly
mixed poison in the plate of soup which she bad com-
menced eating. At the moment the wife returned and
reseated herself, the husband rose and quitted the apart-
ment under pretext of having forgotten something ne-
cessary. The wife, upon this, was about to recommence
eating, but, on so doing, she discovered a spider on her
plate, and having great repugnance to these insects, she
changed her plate for that of her husband, who returned
immediately after, sat himself down, and seeing that
his wife had nearly finished her portion, ate from the
plate before him. In the course of a few hours he be-
gan to feel the effects of the poison, and, although medi-
cal aid was instantly called in, died, confessing that he
was justly punished for his own intended crime.
nix Scoyoir LAW OP MARRIACIP.-0(1 Friday a mar-
riage was performed here before a justice of tie peace.
A complaint was brought at the instance of the justice
of peace fiscal, that a seaman and a girl residing An
Ropework-street had.been living as man and wit, with-
out being lawfully married, and had thus committed a
clandestine marriage, an offence proper to be brought
before the Court, and paying for a fine to be imposed.
The parties having appeared and admitted the facts, the
sitting justice fined these in 2,, 6:i. and casts, 2/. 100.
The tine is to be paid to the poor of the mid- parish of
Greenock, within which the Sheriff Clerk's offiee, where
the case was tried, is supposed to be. The proceedings
described have the effect of constituting a legsl mar-
riage, and were adopted because the seaman was to pro-
oeed to sea on that day. —area-sock A dvertiser. •
lONIAN BANE._yesterday the annual meeting of the
proprietors of this hank was he'd at their offices, 6, Win-
chester-street, Old Broad-street ; Mr. J. Ranking in the
chair. The Secretary having read the notice convening
the meeting, Mr, Oliver Farrar, remarking on the pau-
city of the attendance of proprietors, explained that the
day of the meeting had, in terms Of the charter, been
fixed on before it became known on what day the peace
rejoicings were to take place. It was, he thought,
owing to both having fallen on the same day that so
few were present; and as they had important business
to transact he would move that the meeting be adjourned
to the 12th of June. Sir A. Green seconded the resolu-
tion, which was unanimously agreed to. The meeting
then separated.
