sion, it was resolved they should communicate with the Central

MR. FITZJAMES, u.N., OF THE EUPHRATES
ExPantriorn-,-Yesterday week this gallant young officer per-
formed, successfully, at the imminent i isk of his life, a most
heroic act, of which there were many witnesses. The trans-
port, George Canning, having on board the Euphrates expedi-
tion, lay at anchor in the river, opposite Birkenicad, and, as it
was expected she might get out to sea next tide, a steamer
came off to her with the last of the stores. While these were
being transshipped, a tidewaiter, of the name of James Dick-
inson, who could not swim, in pasing from one vessel to the
other, fell into the river. At this time it blew a gale of wind,
and there was a high sea in the Mersey ; and greatly were we
surprised, when Mr. Fitzjames, in boots, coat, hat, &c., in-
stantly sprang from the George Canning after the drowning
man. Ile succeeded in reaching him ere long, and in support-
ing him by the hair while he floated on his back. They had
drifted down a considerable way befor the steamer overtook
them ; but, at length, they were rescued from -their perilous
situation, and brought back to the George Canning, where
Mr. Fitzjames received. the congratulations of his brother
officers and their friends, who had gone off to take leave. On
inquiry, we find that Mr. Fitzjames served lately on board of
his Majesty's ship Winchester.—Liverpool Courier. The cor-
poration have since conferred on Mr. Fitzjames the freedom of
the borough, and a few gentlemen in the Exchange News-
room have presented him with a splendid silver goblet, with
beautifully executed marine devices, bearing the following in-
scription :—" Presented to Mr. Fitzjames, R. N., of the Eu-
phrates expedition, by his friends in Liverpool, as a token of
their admiration of his gallant heroism in saving a drowning
man in the river Mersey, on Sunday, February 1, 1835, at the
imminent hazard of his own life."—.Liverpool Albion.

Leonardo, a young Venetian noble, whose family
narr e the chronicler has suppressed, from respect for his ex-
alted kindred, being requested by- a friend to lend his apart-
ments for a private interview with a yoking lady, concealed
himself in an outer room, and thus saw the beautiful face of
the frail damsel, as her lover impatiently snatched off her
veil upon her entrance. Soon afterwards a marriage was ar-
ranged for Leonardo with the only child ;of a wealthy and
powerful senator :—" The nuptial day arrived. Towards
sunset the relations and friends of both families assembled in
the mansion of the old senator. Leonardo, according to
Venetian custom, awaited the several guests at the dour of
the Palace, and was the last to enter the saloon. The
nobles occupied seats placed around in guise of an amphi-
theatre. At the further end, a priest, in pontifical robes,
knelt in fer Vent prayer before a magnificent altar. Tro-
phies of all kinds of arms hung against the walls blackened
by time, and the brilliancy of the abundant wax-lights,
could scarcely dissipate the obscurity of the ample saloon.
As Leonardo entered, the inner apartments, wherein the
bride, encircled by noble matrons, awaited the moment of
celebration, opened. The bride steps forward unveiled, and,
amidst the general exclamations of enthusiastic admiration, the
cry of pained surprise which escapes Leonardo at her sight is
unheard ; the beautiful girl, who comes forward half-veiled in
white drapery, with every symbol, of spotless life, is no other
than the paramour of his friend. 4 * * He hesitated a
moment, whether publicly to disgrace her who dared to bring
him infamy as her wedding portion : but the aspect of her
father, the thought of his despair, pity for the exquisitely-
beautiful girl herself, and the generosity of his soul, deter-
mined him rather to incur the reproach of absurd capricious-
ness ; and, as the bribe, after receiving her father's blessing,
drew near to him, he receded a couple of steps, and command-
ing silence by a gesture, exclaimed, " She cannot be my wife 1
Never will Ibe her husband 1" The rejected bride swooned;
her infuriated kinsmen rushed upon the insulting bridegroom ;
the festal scene, the nuptial altar itself, seemed about to be
Polluted with blood. The venerable senator, controlling his
own anger, employed the whole force of his eloquence and of
his authority to prevent this outrage. Having succeeded, be
thus addressed Leonardo :—Go ; I renounce all self-revenge
committing redress to him who punishes the wrongs done to
gray hairs." A few days passed, and Leoeardo fell. mortally
wounded by the dagger of an assassin.—.Lettre su Venezia, re-
