Several of the above-named persons had, until a very recent
period, enjoyed the reputation of a good character. As to

TAPESTRY.—The manufactory of the Gobelins is
at present occupied in making a quantity of tapestry of very
large dimensions. Of the superior king, sxe twenty-one pic-
tures of Rubens, belonging to the gallery'of the Louvre, re-
presenting the Life of Queen Marie de Medicis ; of the in-
ferior kind, are tapestries from the library of St. Cloud, the
Hall of the Throne of the Saloon of Peace in the Tuileries,
and for the choir of the church of St. Roch. All these
works, already far advanced, will be finished this year.

LIMERICK.—An occurrence of a disgusting and
disgraceful nature took place in our city to-day (Tuesday). A
female domestic in the family of a respectable gentleman, re-
siding in George-street, having died, her remains were being
taken to their place of sepulture this morning. The proces-
sion had reached the New-bridge, when the most revolting
contest rose, from the desire of the woman's husband that she
should be buried in a particular place, while the immediate
family of the deceased insisted that the corpse should be borne
to a different locality. A dreadful riot between the parties
was the consequence, and several persons were injured. The
entire police force of the city were required to restore order
before the funeral was permitted to proceed on its way.—
Limerick Herald.

Some labourers on the banks of the river opposite
Grogneul, in the Eure et Loire, on rooting up some poplars,
lately found an antique Roman vase, containing about 600
silver coins, of the size of a 15 sous piece, forming a series of
the Roman Emperors and Empresses from Adrian, who reigned
in the year 117, to the younger Gordian, in 238. There is
every reason to believe that this money 'has remained ever since
the expulsion of the Romans from Gaul, 1,500 years ago.
AN EXPENSIVE SAVING.—A spice-merchant of
Constantinople, carrying a piece of fine cloth to a tailor, de-
sired to have a cloak and a tunic made of it, and inquired if
there was enough ? The artist having measured the stuff, de-
clared it sufficient ; and then requested to know " what had
been the cost of it ?" " Five sequins," replied the customer,

" was the price ; and considering the quality, that is not dear."
The tailor paused for a moment—" I am a beginner in trade,"
said he to the spice-dealer, " and money is an object to me—
give me two sequins, and I will show you how you may save
three in this affair." " I agree," returned the other, and the
two sequins were produced and paid. "It is well," said the
man of the needle, "lam a person of my word. This cloth
has cost five sequins , and I have promised to save you three.
Take it, then, to some other tailor, and Allah direct you to one
of more experience ; for I have never made such a dress as
that you want, and if I attempt it, it will certainly be spoiled."
Thursday • morning, between eleven and twelve
o'clock, the following awful instance of sudden death occurred
to Mr. John Epps, the ham and beef shopkeeper, residing in
High Holborn. It appears that the deceased, a few seconds
previous,- was standing laughingin his shop, and talking-with
one of his shopmen, when suddenly he fell forward, apparently
in a fit. Medical aid was promptly procured, and. .every re-
medy used to -restore anitnatten;- but all entieavOur-s. proia
ineffectual. Mr. Epps was- prOppietov of nearly-twenty-barn and
beef shops in various parts el the metropolis, and father of Dr.
Epps the pbrcnologist.
