A BAD TENANT EJECTED.—In the engagement which
took place between the French and the Arahs at the Col
de la Monzaia, in Algeria, 17 year; ago, C nnmandant
Uhrich, of the Bth battalion of Foot Chasseurs, was
struck by a ba'l in the eye, which penetrated the head,
and remained there in spite of all of irts to extract it.
Since then M. Uhrich, who has risen to the grade of
colonel, has suffered greatly from the presence of the ball,
particul erly when obliged to ride on horseback. A few
months hack, the inconvenience having greatly increased
he was sent by his medical advisers to Allevard, a water-
ing place in the Isere. About ten days ago he had a
slight sttack of armpit xy, which shook him greatly, and
a few nights afterwards he was awakened from his sleep
by a sense of suffocation. Jumping up he found that
the ball had by degrees worked its way down, and had
at last fallen from the upper part of the mouth into the
throat. By violent efforts he succeeded in dislodging it,
and he is now doing well. The ball, though diminished
by corrosion, was found to weigh 25 grammes (about
four-fifths of an ounce).—Galignani.
COMMITTAL OF A SHAM lI.AREISTER.—Yesterday, at
the Wakefield Court-house, a respectable looking man,
named John Lundy, was charged with having, on the
26th ult., unlawfully pretended that he was a barrister-
at-law. From the evidence of Mrs. Deys, wife of Win.

and engaged rooms, saying that he was a barrister-at-
law, ar.d that he bad come to Wakefield sessions to
defend prisoners. He partook of tea and supper,
and the next morning after breakfast said he
