We are glad to see that the French Govern-
ment would willingly surrender their conquest of
Algiers, if the Republican party would cease its
clamours. In a report made on the budget of the War
Department we find its abandonment as a colony re-
commended by M. Passy, the chairman of the com-
mittee, in language which must communicate new ideas
on the subject to the French -people. He shows that
it cannot be retained with a less army than 25,000
men ; that it costs France 30,000,000 f., or 1,200,0001„
a-year ; that its own revenues do not amount to
60,000/. ; that the natives cannot be civilized ; and
that European colonists cannot be induced to settle
among them till they are so. This report must pro-
duce an important change of public opinion respecting
this foolish attempt at colonization.— Times.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Mirried, on
the ith instant, at Monkstown, Lord Viscount Netter-
ville, to Eliza, third daughter of Joseph Kirwin, Esq.,
late of Hillsbrook, county Galway. Immediately after
the ceremony, Lord and Lady Netterville sailed for
England.

The Windham Club and the Agent for the
Proprietor of the Temple, in Pall-mall, have not come
to terms. The contract which was in progress is
now at an end. We perceive the mansion is now to
be let, furnished.

George Gorkatcht, a Polish soldier, deserted
from his regiment in the harvest of the year 1677. He
was discovered a few days after drinking and making
merry in an ale-house. The moment he was appre-
hended he was so much terrified that he gave a loud
shriek, and was immediately deprived of the power of
speech.:When brought to a courtmartial it was impos-
sible to make him articulate a word—nay, he became
as immoveable as a statue, and appeared totally'uncon-
scious of what was going forward. In the prison to
which he was conducted he neither ate nor drank.
The officers and priests at first threatened him, and
afterwards endeavoured ta sooth and console him, but
all their efforts were in vain ; he remained senseless
and immoveable His irons were struck off, and he was
taken out of prison, but he did not move. Twenty
days and nights were passed in this way, and he gradu-
ally sunk and died.
An appalling instance of sudden death has
occurred at Largs, in the case of Mr. Andrew Fleming,'
pawnbroker, Paisley, and his wife, the couple having
both gone to bed in usual health and spirits on Satur-
day night, and having been found both dead in bed
next morning. The apartment in which they slept
was not inhabited during winter, but whether it had a
charcoal fire in it or not we are not informed. The
parties had evidently died without a struggle.—Scots-
man.

We understand the Rev. Dr. Percy, of Bos-
ton, and his people, have resolved to imitate the Ame-
ricans by holding religious meetings for four days in
succession—beginning on Tuesday, the 22d of April,
and terminating on the following Friday. All reli-
gious distinctions and party peculiarities are to be laid
aside, while a number of respectable ministers of dif-
ferent denominations unite their efforts in the cause of
truth and holiness versus error and sin.—,Stamford
Mercury.

—Several -Whitefeet outrages have recently oc-
curred in the Barony of Enneshowen, in the north of
Ireland. It is again stated that the Agrarian warfare
in this district is directed against the payment of rents
as well as tithes.

ARTILLERY WOMEN.—On Saturday two
young women, of the names of Kelly and Robertson,
were put to the bar of the Police Court, Glasgow,
fully accoutred in the dress of the Royal Artillery, a
party of whom are at present lying in our barracks.
It appeared from the evidence that the females had
purloined the clothing of the soldiers, while they were
asleep in a house in the High-street, and dressing
themselves out in the regimentals, had stolen away to
a public-house, where, as might be expected, they
soon created a disturbance, and were marched to the
police-office. The Magistrate, after commenting on
their disgraceful conduct, sentenced them to 60 days'
imprisonment in Bridewell.—Scotsman.

PIRICE OF A KlCK.—Thursday a woman
entered the shop of a female merchant, to whom she
owed 20s. 7id., was craved for the debt, and because
she could not pay, got a kick, and was turned out.
It was of this kick that she on Friday came before the
magistrate to complain. The magistrate, after
due investigation, regarding the impetus of the
kick, &c., found that it was a very moderate
one, valued it at 2s. 7id., and reduced the debt to
that extent. It is reported that the complainer has
agreed to receive as many more kicks, at 2s.
each, as will kick her wholly out of debt.---Glasgow
Courier.

HORRIBLE AND MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
—On Wednesday last the neighbourhood of Lawley-
street was thrown into the utmost confusion, owing to
the commission of a most daring and barbarous murder
on the body of a woman named Webb, in her own
house, and at noon-day. The deceased was an aged
married woman, and resided with her husband in a
court in the above street. Webb is a gardener, and
goes out to work daily in a piece of ground which he
rents, at a distance of a mile and a half from his
i resi-
dence. His wife sold the produce of the garden n the
house, together with bacon, which they reared and
killed. On the morning of the day on which the un-
fortunate woman was murdered, her husband left home
as usual about eight o'clock, with the understanding
that his wife was to come to him to the garden about
four o'clock with his tea. During the day, and up to
three o'clock, she was seen about the place, and at
half-past three o'clock she was found in the kitchen of
her own house, lying weltering in her blood, with her
throat cut in the most shocking manner. Various sus-
picions, as are usual in such cases, were entertained,
but nothing like a clue to the perpetrators could be
traced. Information was sent to S. W. Whateley, Esq.,
coroner, and on Thursday evening that gentleman, ac-
companied by one or more medical gentlemen, went
to the house, and having examined the body, and made
the necessary inquiries, the inquest was fixed for the
following morning (yesterday), to be held at the Globe
Tavern, Vauxhall-row. After evidence had been heard,
the inquest was adjourned.--Birmingham Journal.
