PARIS, FEB. 28.—The Armoriclin (a Brest journal) pull-
fishes the following article n its number of the 24th :
" Several applications for letters of marque have been sent
from our department to the Ministry. The Minister of Ma-
rine has replied to one of these applications, tint in the un-
certainty which prevails respeLting the issue of the difference
with America, he could not at present positively acted -,: to this
application, but that he would take due notice of it, promising
to pay attention to it if occasion should arise."
A rise of one franc in two days in our funds was not easy to
be accounted for from the present state of political affairs.
We have received a more rational explanation of the fact.
The Caisse des Dtpdts et Consignations has about 15 mil-
lions placed in the Treasury in Royal Bonds, but the Treasury
is overflowing with money; it has given notice, that the money
will be repaid when the Bonds become due, and has advised the
Caisse to endeavour to employ its funds in some other way.
Now, no better way has been found than purchases of stock,
and they have commenced within these two days at the rate
of 300,000 francs each day.
The Itioniteur this morning announces the 'result of the

The Archbishop of Canterbury has been-prevented
from taking the oaths and his scat in parliament by a domestic
affliction—the demise of his daughter, Lady Beaumont, wife of
•Sir G‘eorge Howland Beaumont, Bart., to whom her Ladyship
was united in 1825, and by whom she left an infant family.
Lady Beamount died at llyeres, in the South of France,
where she was staying for the improvement of her health.
Not long since the Primate had the affliction to lose his only
son, a promising youth, at the University.

—The votes of Mr. Bish, the Hon. Member for Leo-
minster, on the late divisions, have given great satisfaction to
his constituents, especially as they know his severe indisposi-
tion, and the personal risk he has run in goinz to the Hons..-

A telegraphic dispatch announces that General Sebastiani
had arrived at Calais on Saturday at two o'clock, and was pre-
paring to set out for Paris.—Journal des Debuts.
It appears that it is General Sebastiani who is to re-model
the Cabinet, in which it is resolved to keep Messrs. 'Tiers,
Guizot, Persil, &c., and as these gentlemen have declared
officially that thy would not remain with Marshal Soult, who
it is said has shown himself inclined to make a similar decla-
ration with respect to ;hose who so adroitly put him out of the
Ministry eight months ago, our new Ambassador at London
has been recalled.—lmpartial.
By a decision of the 28th of February Rear-Admiral Da-

A requisition is preparing to the High Bailiff of
Westminster to call a meeting of the electors, for the pur-
pose of their agreeing to a resolution calling upon Sir Francis
Burdett to resign his seat, having declined voting against Sir
Mariners Sutton, and for not having voted for the amendment
proposed by Lord Morpeth to the address to the King.
Tli E 131S1-10P OF NORWICII.—We regret to learn
that the health of this venerable Prelate has so much declined
of late, as to occasion serious apprehension in the minds of his
relatives and numerous friends for the approach of that mourn-
ful event which, considering the advanced age of the Bishop,
who is now in his 91st year, cannot, in the course of Nature,
be far distant.—Cheltenham Journal.

TILE USE OF a DEAD \\TUE.—A German jour-
nal contains the following paragraph :—The wife of a labour-
ing man, in the neighbourhood of Stockholm, died some time
ago, and the husband made the necessary arrangement for
the interment. He, however, deposited a block of wood in
the coffin, instead of the corpse, which he conveyed, during
the night, into a forest, that it might serve as a bait for wild
beasts. By this expedient he succeeded in catching a wolf
and two foxes. Oa the circumstance being made known,
the man was arrested and carried before a court of justice;
but far from being intimidated, he claimed the reward offered
for destroying mischievous animals.
The Bon Sens publishes the following remarks of
Louis XVIII. in describing .Louis, Philippe :—" He has con-
trived (said the old King) to know a little of every thing, and
fancies himself a man of universal knowledge. He has a
cook, and I am sure that he shows him how to make an
omelette ; he teaches his gardener how to use his spade ; and
I am convinced that he has often written rent receipts with
his own hands. If he were to become a King, lie m ould
deem it better to have clerks or secretaries in place of Minis-
ters ; and I am certain that he employs Fontaine for his archi-
tect only that lie may be able to say, ' I don't do everything
myself.' At bottom, however, he believes that he knows
more of architecture than Fontaine, and he is certainly better
acquainted with the price of lime and mortar than his master
mason."

A surgeon in general practice, a clergyman of the
Church of England, and the master of a workhouse, all of a
village, the name of which we at present suppress, have, we
are informed, been summoned to appear before the Magistrates
at a neighbouring town on Wednesday next, the 4th instant,
on a charge of forcibly seizing an inmate of the village poor-
house and cutting him for the stone, against his urgent
entreaties and reiterated remonstrances. The assaulted party
is a youth, 16 years of age.—Lancet.
The Sherborne Journal states that public rejoicings
have taken place at Poole, Lyme Regis, and other places in
Dorsetshire, and at Yeovil and Chard, in Somersetshire, in
consequence of the triumph of Mr. Abercromby over Sir C
M. Sutton. Wagers to a large amount were laid in some of
the above places.
The plan of erecting a bridge between Weymouth
and the Isle of Portland having been pronounced practicable,
the work will be commenced as soon as the sanction of Parlia-
ment for the purpose has been obtained.
MOVEMENTS OP THE HOUSEHOLD TROOPS.—

dier Guards remain in Dublin.

CHEAP LITERATURE.--The public cannot fail,
we think, to be delighted with the treat which is just prepared
for them by Mr. Colburn, in his " Modern Novelists." the
March number of which contains the new revised and illus-
trated edition of Lady Margan's first and best National Tale,
" O'Donnell," the three volumes being now comprised in
one, and bound, for only ss.—an example of cheapness hitherto
unparalleled. On the 2d March also appeared, the third part
of the new and cheaper edition of Sir Jonah Barrington's
" Memoirs of Ireland and the Union," to be competed in six
parts, at only Bs. each, and containing all the forty portraits,
and other embellishments of the original expensive edition.
This important work may now, therefore, stand a good chance
of being found in every private and public library throughout
the kingdom.
The Rev. Edward Irving acted in Ryder s company,
in Kirkaldy, a few miles from Edinburgh, about twenty-four
'
years ago, and was then passionately devoted to the stage.
'The obliquity
manner, created his dialect, and peculiarly awkward
gait so much derision, that he left the
stage
after about three months' probation._

On Saturday last, universally beloved and respected,
Mr. John Rudhall, bell-founder, of Gloucester, aged 75.
He was descended from an antient and respectable family,
who have carried on the business of bell-founding in Glouces-
ter, for the last 150 years, with honour and credit to their pro-
fession.
LONGEVITY.—Five blacksmiths live within three
miles from each other, near Corwen, Merionethshire, whose
ages amount to 415. Three are brothers, and four have the
same surnames : one has lived 84 years in the same house,
and was never from it a week in his life. A pony, said to be
of the extraordinary age of 45 years, is the venerable friend
of one of these Cambrian patriots._Shrewsbury Chronicle.
BIRTH EXTRAORDINARY.-011 Tuesday even-
ing, as the eight o'clock train was on its way to the Rock
from Dublin, a woman who was a passenger in the third class
carriage, was delivered of a child, and both are doing well.
THE STO It M.-We fear (says the Liverpool
Times of Tuesday) that much damage has been done, and-loss
of life at sea, occasioned by the dreadful storm of Sunday
night and yesterday. Even in the docks several of the vessels
have been violently beaten about, and some of them hare sus-
tained injury in their rigging and timbers. On land we have
not heard of any serious damage, though from the fury of the
storm it is only too probable that some mischief may have been
done.

Among the ravages of the tempest on Thursday
night, the 19th inst., was the demolition of a theatrical pa-
vilion which-had been erected by a Mr. Hill from Hunting-
don, in the Peacock Inn-yard at Sibsey. Richard 111. bad
been announced far performance, a " star" of some magnitude
was to have played the tyrant, a musical band fr:.)in Boston
had been specially engaged, and the " lovers of the drama"
in Sibsey were anticipating a high treat, when the hurricane,
as if in derision of the mimic scene, blew down the pavilion,
and nearly dashed it to atoms. Happily this was the extent
of the injury, neither the audience nor the performers having
assembled.

FIRE IN BROAD-STREET, GOLDEN-SQUARE.--
About half-past 12 o'clock last night a fire broke out on the
premises belonging to Mr. More, the hatter and army ac-
coutrement-maker, situated at the back of Marshall-street, and
occupying the angle formed by Marshall-street, Silver-street,
and Broad-street, Golden-square. The fire at one time raged
with tremendous fury, and from the wind blowing in the direc-
tion of the timber-yard of Messrs. Paul and Hutton, which is
in the immediate neighbourhood, great apprehensions existed
of a more extensive and calamitous conflagration. Fortu-
nately, by the speedy arrival of the fire-engtnes and the good
supply of water, the progress of the flames was arrested before
it could communicate with the timber-yard. The effects of
the fire were, however, sufficiently powerful to cause a great
destruction of property. It was said that, in addition to the
total destruction of the manufactory above-mentioned, the ma-
nufactory of a cabinet-maker next adjoining was consumed,
and the backs of five or six houses in Silver-street were on
fire. The engines, by two o'clock, had so reduced the flames,
that all apprehensions for the neighbourhood were removed,
and the dense mob by which the streets had been crowded be-
gan to disperse. Fortunately, no lives were lost, and no se-
rious accident occurred.

A WINTER IN THE FAR WEST.—The volumes
whirl, are about to appear under this title, consist of a Narra-
tive of Travels, if indeed they may not rather be called Explo-
rations, in the Remotest Western States of America. In per-
using the account of this remarkable enterprise, a new world
is laid open to the curiosity of the reader. The author tra-
versed countries where every variety of scenery was displayed
on the grandest scale. lie crossed the wild sources of the
Ohio, a thousand miles above its junction with the Mississippi;
coasted its romantic shores ; wandered through the primeval
solitudes of the interminable forests ; surveyed the open glades
and smiling lakes of Michigan ; galloped over the grassy sa-
vannas of Indiana ; hunted on the boundless prairies of .Il-
linois; saw the savage hills and plashy rice-pools of pnicon-
son ; forded the wild Washtenong of the northern peninsula,
and skirted the frozen beach of its western boundary ; stood
upon the hoary bluffs of the Missisippi ; beheld that over-
whelming mass of waters rising in regions of perpetual snows,
loitered among the meadowy banks of the Illinois, the savage
cliffs of the Kentucky, the pastoral valleys of Tennesvee, and
the romantic glens of Western Virginia. To the description
of these wonderful scenes, the writer adds characteristic
sketches of the wild Indians, and the equally wild backwoods-
man of the West, intermixed with tales of their fearful border
feuds.
