The Ist Dragoon Guards have received orders

It is said to be in contemplation to convert
the whole of the buildings in the Rue de Harlay and
the Place Dauphine into vast barracks, the entrance of
which will be opposite the statue of Henry IV.—
Paris Journal.

An eccentric genius stepping into the door of
a landlady, observed, " Will you, ma'am, give me a
drink of water, for I am so hungry I don't know where
to stay to-night." We doubt whether more meaning
could be embodied in so few words.

A case filled with arms and ammunition was
seized the night before last at a house in the Rue
Neuve St. Etienne du Mont ; it was so heavy that
four men could hardly lift it. The person to whom it
was addressed was absent ; a woman whom he had
charged to receive it was arrested.—Paris Journal.

Died, on Sundaymorning last,of cholera, Miss
Maria Jane Juxon, of Killarney, a young lady of con-
siderable mental and personal endowments. She took
ill on Saturday evening, a few minutes after leaving
her drawing-master (to whom she expressed a fear, or
rather presentiment of her approaching fate), and died
on the next morning.

Two curious entries appear in the Customs
lists of Wednesday and Thursday. The extreme mild-
ness of the season has prevented the dealers in ice from
obtaining their usual supplies, and two vessels some
time since were chartered to proceed to Norway, to
procure cargoes of this produce. The vessels have
returned with full cargoes. One of them has been
entered as of the value of 801.

A person lately bought a mare from a man
at Rhuabon fair for 81., who signed the warranty
" John Jones, Hindford." The mare proved unsound
and not worth half the money. The man took the
mare to Hindford, but no John Jones was there. He
then tried the scheme of letting the mare loose on the
high road, when she trotted upwards of four miles to
the door of her old master, who was immediately re-
cognised by the purchaser, and has refunded the 8/.
loss !—Chester Courant.

It is rumoured at the Clubs that if Mr.
Ashley Warre should be appointed the new Lord of
the Treasury in the place of Mr. Kennedy, the Con-
servative party at Hastings will start Mr. Planta, the
ex-Secretary to the Treasury, as a candidate for the
representation of the borough, in opposition to Mr.
Warre. Mr. Planta has an estate near Hastings,
called Fairlight Place, and for several years sat for
borough in Parliament, at which period a gentle-
man, named Milward, was popularly considered its
" political patron."

The vapours of superstition have not yet
been dissipated by the light of education. An elderly
, dame, last week, ran breathlessly towards a gentleman
riding near this town on a white horse, eagerly asking
him for a remedy for her child, who had the heaping
cough. The silly creature was referred to a medical
gentleman as the proper person for such an appeal, but
the old woman insisted on it that he would not do, no
prescription being of the least use, unless given by the
first person she met on a white horse I—Taunton
Courier.

At the concert of M. Hertz, on Saturday
evening, a dispute arose between M. Billiard and se-
veral other of M. Hertz's friends and M. Schlesinger,
the music-seller and proprietor of the Gazette Musi-
cale; in consequence a meeting with pistols took place
on Monday morning, at Montmartre, between M.
Schlesinger and M. Billiard. M. Billiard fired first,
and his ball tore the redingote of his adversary near the
breast. M. Schlesinger's ball struck M. Billiard in
the body, but happily the only result was a severe con-
tusion, of which no serious apprehensions are enter-
tained.—Paris Paper.
MARCH OF INTELLECT.—The following
hand-bill was, a short time since, distributed in a town
in this county :—" W. W. respectfully informs the
inhabitants of and its vicinity, that he has com-
menced the business of chimney-sweeping, fire-de-
fender, and smoke-jaeltcleaning, and assures the pub-
lic that he sweeps the largest chimneys himself, and
does not trust to his boys as sweeps generally do in
and other places, but is determined to raise the
business from that obscurity and contempt which is
now practised and carried on by others."—Kentish
Gazette.

By the recent demise of Major-Gen. Farqu-
harson the Lieutenant-Governorship of the island of
St. Lucia has become vacant. General Farquharson
for many years commanded the 25th, or King's Own
Borderers, and obtained his rank of Major-General on
the 22d July, 1830. Another victim to the unhealthi-
ness of this island was the late lamented Gen. Stuart
of Garth, who went out as Governor in 1830, and died
a few weeks after his arrival. The cause of this insa-
lubrity is to be attributed entirely to the hitherto un-
cultivated state of the island. Owing to its unsettled
condition, Major-General Mackie, who succeeded Ge-
neral Stuart, also fell a victim to the climate soon after
his arrival.

The following incredible account is taken
from the Hamburg Correspondent :—" The infant
daughter of some peasant in the environs of Elsinore
has excited universal attention by the wonderfully pre-
cocious development of her faculties. She is only two
years old, but had been adopted by the Captain of a
ship, and it is to this circumstance that her peculiar
inclination to the study of geography and astronomy is
to be attributed. When scarcely thirteen months old
she could promptly point out on the map nearly all the
countries and remarkable places in the four quarters of
the world. She could at any time state the hour it
was at Madeira, Copenhagen, Paris, and Pekin. At
night she could name the planets and the principal
stars as they appeared, without making a single
mistake."

A remarkable suicide was committed in the
town of Bethune, France, by a man named Cretel, on
the 15th inst. On the morning of the day on which
he put a period to his existence he told several persons
that he should die in the course of that day, and that
his last hour had struck. He left his house about two
o'clock, directing his course towards the suburbs of the
town, and having met a carriage at a short distance
from the bridge, he placed his head on the ground,
that the wheels might pass over it ; he, however, only
received a slight wound. Determined on his own de-
struction, after walking some distance he again threw
himself under the wheels of another carriage, and was
this time so horribly mutilated that he only survived a
few seconds. The cause of this act of despair is said
to have been domestictroubles.—French Paper.
The opening of the new Episcopal Church in
the Rue d' Aguesseau was yesterday attended by a nu-
merous and highly respectable congregation. The
building, which is capable of containing about 800 per-
sons is extremely well adapted to the purposes of worship.
The interior is in the Gothic style,but remarkably chaste,
and much lighter than we generally find this style of
architecture. The drapery of the altar-piece, which
we understand is at present but temporary, is speedily
to be replaced by a new one, which will be in accord-
ance with the general design. The windows are of
stained glass, and the general effect combines neatness
and simplicity with a certain sober elegance, and the
sacred objects to which it is devoted. On the whole,
we have to congratulate the English residents in Paris
on their at length possessing a suitable place of divine
worship, the want of which has been so long and se-
verely felt.—French Paper.
_

A few days ago a handsome young girl,
about 19, named Victorine D-, committed suicide,
in consequence of a disappointment in love. She
committed the act with a pistol in the same house
where her lover resided, No. 7, Rue des Gravilliers.
The ball, after having passed just below her left breast,
went through the lower part of the neck. The even-
ing before she had persuaded her lover to kill himself
with her in the Bois de Boulogne, and he allowed her
to have the pistols under this impression. He had no
intention, however, of allowing the idea to be carried
into effect, and was thinking that he had reconciled

her to live, when the report of the pistol was heard.
The unfortunate girl expired almost immediately,
pressing the hand of her lover, who flew to her assist-
ance, and whom she had vainly persuaded to partake
of the same fate.—Paris Paper.

ASHES FOR DUST.—As the French Cham-
ber of Deputies have voted a resolution to demand
from us the ashes of Bonaparte, we think in reply we
ought to demand from them to come down with the
dust. He cost us while alive a considerable deal of
cash, and now we have an opportunity of getting some
of it back again.

On Thursday night, the 13th inst., about
eight o'clock, a most alarming fire broke out upon the
premises occupied by Mr. J. Read, butcher, of 'Whit-
tlesey, Huntingdonshire, in a stack of straw, which
was speedily consumed, together with the greater
part of a malting office, and a quantity of barley pre-
paring for malting. Providentially there was little or
no wind at the time, and by the praiseworthy assistance
rendered by the poorer inhabitants, aided by the at-
tendance of the engines, and a tolerable supply of wa-
ter, the fire was confined to the premises on which it
hroke out, though surrounded by corn-stacks and
buildings of very inflammable materials. The fire is
believed to be the work of an incendiary.—Cambridge
Chronicle.

On the 17th inst. the diligence from Antibes
to Luc, in which there were sixteen passengers, upset
at eleven o'clock in the morning at the highest part of
the road, where it is wide and in excellent order, and
fell over a precipice, in consequence of the neg-
ligence of the conductor and postillion, who, being
in close conversation, did not observe the situa-
tion of the vehicle. After rolling over six
times, it was stopped by the traces catching
against a large tree, so that the diligence was sus-
pended on one side of the tree and the horses on the
other, and thus prevented going to the bottom, which
was a depth of considerably more than four hundred
yards. With the exception of two young children, all
the passengers were seriously hurt. They were taken
to Frejus, where every possible care was afforded them.
—Galignani's Messenger.
Extract of a letter dated Florence, March 12:
—" Our winter has been one of the most agreeable,
notwithstanding that Rome and Naples carried off se-
veral distinguished party-givers, such as the Thorns,
the Perrys, the Hastings, Andersons, &c. Our
charming Grand Duchess recompenses us for every
thing, and her situation, now doubly interesting to
this country, excites the hope of all that she may be
destined to keep this sovereignty from the fangs of the
house of Austria. Her accouchement is expected to
take place next month, and if she give birth to a
Prince, the rejoicings will be unbounded. Her mo-
ther, the Queen Dowager of Naples, is expeted here
about the 28th, and after the Duchess is confined, she
will continue her journey towards the Rhine. Col.
Wardle, who died here a short time since, had pur-
chased the beautiful villa under Filsoli, of Count Loz-
zano, where he resided; and during the last twelve or
thirteen years that he came among us, he had endeared
himself to everybody by his gentlemanly manners and
true hospitality."
THE FALKLAND ISLANDS.—Our Govern-
ment having judged these Islands to be a station of
some importance and convenience to our ships pro-
ceeding' torliit Paific, Captain Fitzfq, in :10
has been directed to survey them. Lieutenant H.
Smith, late First Lieutenant of the Tyne, is appoint-
ed Governor of these Islands, and four seamen, volun-
teers, as a boat's crew for his use and protection. They
were to proceed by the first ship from Rio. It was
expected that this little nucleus party of a new colony
would be reinforced by a party of Royal Marines from
England. It has been ascertained that these Islands
are not so unproductive as has been believed, and that
a limited number of settlers would do well on the
Eastern Island, where, in fact, one is forming ; a situ-
ation, called Port Louis, at the head of Berkeley
Sound, had been fixed upon as head-quarters. At least
7,000 head of fine wild cattle, and 500 wild horses,
are roaming over a large expanse of most excellent
pasturage. Game is also in abundance, particularly
rabbits, and the shores abound with excellent fish, as
well as whales and seals. Though there is no timber
on the Islands, the sheltered spots are favourable to
the growth of hardy trees ; there is peat in abundance,
which would furnish a never-failing supply of fuel, and
kelp, for manure. The climate is not severe, consi-
dering its localities, and there is good anchorage all
round the coast.

The execution of Charles Shaw, a boy of
fifteen, who, as stated in our last, was at the Stafford
Assizes found guilty of the murder of another boy,
named John Holdcroft, at Stoke-upon-Trent, has been
respited. We understand that on Tuesday his mother
visited him, and, in the expectation that he would
suffer death on the following morning, entreated him
to tell her the whole truth. He then declared most
solemnly, that, having won the deceased's wages of
him, they quarrelled and exchanged blows, when he
( Shaw) knocked the deceased down twice ; the second
time against a rail. A boat came up soon after, and
he ( Shaw) retired for a while ; but when it had passed
returned to the spot, and found the deceased heaving
his last gasp. Finding Holdcroft was dead, he tied
the cord round his neck and left him on the bank, in
order to induce an opinion that he had destroyed him-
self. Believing that there might be some truth in this
statement, and, if there was, that it would reduce the
offence to manslaughter, the Governor and Chaplain
of the prison considered it their duty to come to
Shrewsbury late on Tuesday evening, to lay the state-
ment before Mr. Justice Patteson, when his lordship
concluded it would not be inconsistent with his duty
to grant a respite, in order that further inquiry might
be made. His lordship, therefore, respited the ex-
ecution of Shaw until the 29th instant.—Salopian
Journal.

AWFUL AND MELANCHOLY INSTANCE OF
SUDDEN DEATH AT THE GRAND WRESTLING MATCHES
AT CHALK FARM.—Yesterday afternoon, between four
and five o'clock, one of those frequent awful occur-
rences of sudden death occurred to a respectable master
baker of the name of Mr. James Watkins, residing at
No. 9, Edward-street, Cumberland Market, Regent's
Park, but under circumstances peculiarly melancholy.
It appears that the unfortunate gentleman had gone to
Chalk Farm Tavern, for the purpose of witnessing the
various grand wrestling matches that were to be con-
tended for between the counties of Cumberland and
Westmoreland wrestlers, when unhappily Mr. Watkins,
from some cause became exceedingly excited with an
individual, and in the heat of his passion swore at his
antagonist, when he momentarily fell to the ground
a lifeless corpse. The scene:of confusion on the ground
at the melancholy event was indiscribable amongst an
immense assemblage of persons. There was a medical
man on the ground, but from some unknown circum-
stances he did not render his professional assistance in
due time ; it was stated that he did not wish to be
known. After a considerable lapse of time he attempted
to bleed the unfortunate deceased, but all endeavours
were unavailing, as the vital spark had for ever fled.
The body was in the evening conveyed in a shell from
the tavern to St. Pancras Work-house, to await a
Coroner's inquest. Mr. Watkins has left a widow
and a large family to deplore his melancholy and un-
timely end.

NAVIGATION OF THE BLACK SEA.—
The Emperor of Russia, wishing to encourage the
navigation of the Black Sea by merchant ships, by af-
fording the means of making good sailors, has ordered
the establishment for ten yeirs of corporations of sai-
lors in the cities of Aleschsky, in the government of
Tauris, and Nicopolis, in the government of Catheri-
noslaff. These corporations will enjoy an exemption
from taxes and conscription, and are to be composed of
citizens and freemen who may chose to enter them
voluntarily, engaging to fulfil the obligations which
their new state imposes on them. It will be their
duty, in order to acquire practical knowledge, to serve
in turn for five years on board the Imperial fleet in the
Black Sea, where they will be employed in preference
on board small ships and transports, the duties in which
are more analogous to those in the merchant service.
At the expiration of these five years they will receive
from the proper authorities a certificate as able seamen,
by means of which they may obtain from the chief
officer of all the pods in the empire passports for fo-
reign countries, and these passports may be changed
by all the consulates and legations of the empire.
Those who have not yet served on board the fleet, and
have obtained their certificate, may receive from the
civil governors of their respective governments foreign
passports gratis, for two years at the most. In case
of disputes between the sailors and their commanders
or among themselves, in a port of the empire, the cap-
tain of the port shall immediately appoint a tribunal of
arbitrators, composed of a quarantine officer, a deputy
of the captains present, and a sailor to be chosen by
and from among themselves ; the decision of these ar-
bitrators must be put into immediate execution, unless
an appeal be made to the Governor-General.
