MEETING OF CREDITORS AT THE COURT'

at 12

The pilchard fishery, one of Cornwall's sources of
wealth, we regret to say, has hitherto been nearly a complete
failure, to the great loss of owners the
i of seans, and to all con-
nected with this most interesting employment.—Falmouth

Packet.
DEATHBED OF AN AMBASSADOR.—A foreign
ambassador, Count Adhemer, had a stroke of apoplexy, and he
was to have had a great assembly on the night of the day on
which it happened : it is shocking to relate the sequel. The
company went—some hundreds. The man lay deprived of
sense and motion ; his bed-chamber joined the great drawing-
room, where was a faro-bank held close to his bed's-head.
Somebody said they thought they made too much noise. " Oh,
no !" another answered, " it will do him good ; the worst
thing he can do is to sleep." A third said, " I did not think
Adhemer had been a fellow of such rare spirit : palsy and faro
together is spirited indeed ; this is keeping it up I" I was tell-
to Mr. Walpole the other day, and lamenting it as a
stigma,
one of the worst signs of the times I had met
with. In return, he told me of a French gentleman at Paris,
who being in the article of death, had just signed his will,
when the lawyer who drew it up was invited by the wife to stay
tell-
ing
national this
supper. The table was laid in the dying man's apartment, the
glass of wine, and
lawyer took a addressing himself to the
lady, drank a la sante de notre aimable agonisant !—Hannah
Moore's Life.
An old lady, named Melnotte, 70 years of age, was in
the habit of receiving the visits of a certain M. Dufour,
who, during the prevalence of the cholera, passed himself
off for a medical man, and gave advice in that quality. He
easily succeeded in gaining her confidence, and was in-
trusted with a secret of some importance. Mademoiselle
Melmotte acknowledged to him that the greatest pain she
experienced arose from the remorse which she felt at having
abandoned a son in the year 1798, whom she had deposited
at the Enfans Trouves. Dufour offered to make inquiries
at the hospital, and promised to bring her some intelligence
of the child. Some time passed ; every day there was a
new demand for money, and a fresh promise. One fine day
Dufour arrived quite radiant with good news :—" Be
happy," said he, " my dear friend (embracing her), your
son is found ; he is living ; and what is more, is at this
moment a sergeant in a regiment of the line in garrison at
Besancon." The poor old lady wept with:joy, and offered
prayers to Heaven for the recovery of her son. She was
anxious to set out immediately for Besancon, but she
was too old, and the distance was too great. After a few days
two letters arrived. They were signed " Melmotte, fils," and
were filled with expressions of the most sincere affection.
Dufour, who was the bearer of these letters, observed, " This
poor fellow, he would be here immediately if he could ma-
nage it ; but he is just recovered from a severe illness, and
he requires 100 crowns to pay a few debts, and the price
of his leave of absence." Mademoiselle Melnotte gives the
100 crowns. A few days afterwards Dufour arrives.
" Your son," said he, "is at the foot of the staircase. I
come to prepare you for the recognition. Endeavour to
restrain yourself ; be mistress of your feelings ; too much
emotion might be fatal to you." The poor old lady took
courage ; a stranger appeared ; she opened her arms, and
the scene of recognition took place. It was not long after
before Mademoiselle Melnotte had made some very costly
gifts to her son, and to Dufour ; but they were not enough.
It was necessary to make some testamentary arrangements,
made in favour of certain individuals. Dufour and the son
accompanied Mademoiselle Melnotte to the house of a no-
tary named Chapelier ; but the latter sent away the parties
without having concuded the business for which they
sought. Mademoiselle Melnotte, in consequence, began
to entertain some suspicion. Every day Dufour made
some fresh demand. The jewels of the old lady found
their way, one after the other, into his hands, and from
thence to the Monte de Piete. She resolved to make some
inquiries, and in a short time she learned that her pre-
tended son Melnotte was no other than a brother-in law of
Dufour. They have been committed for trial.—French
Paper.
