TILE FRENCH MAIL.

The following relates to the recent irregularities
in the French mail :
" Royal and Imperial Mail Steam-racAkdet.
Service (Dover, Calais, and Ostena), 4'
miralty-yard, Dover, May 17. to
" Sir,—Perhaps you will have no objectiellthe
state that the irregularity for several days "1 "„0
French mails is solely attributable to the COntintw-,
easterly and north-easterly winds blowing
that it was impossible to embark the mails
Calais roads ; consequently the packets have been
detained in harbour until there has been sufficient
water for them to proceed to sea. The same causes
have prevented the South-Eastern ComPaNat
packets during several days from leaving Calais
the usual hour in the afternoon.from
so strong
"The Belgian mail packets also, to and d
Ostend, have been irregular in their arrivals 011,a,
departures in consequence of there being too DV;
sea on the bar at Ostend for mails or passengers
be landed or embarked in boats.
" During the prevalence of these strong eas ,er
and north-easterly winds it has been smooth wit'
at Boulogne.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
,‘ LUKE SMITHETT, Superintendent,.
Royal Mail Service."

It Was supposed that Baron Humboldt had died
lotestate, but it appears from a statement in the Gazette de
la _Bourse of Brussels that his servant, J. Seiffert, who had
faithfully served him and attended him in all his travels for
u 3 years, is in possession of a deed of gift, lawfully drawn
p, by which the baron left to him almost all he possessed,
114., his precious and extensive library, all articles of gold
and silver, &c., as well as his household furniture. From
this gift are excepted the manuscripts, ready money, and
some things which had been given to the deceased by great
rsonages, such as the bust of the king and similar articles.
He disposes of them in favour of some friends by a note, of
Which the execution, according to the contents of the deed,
would be considered illegal, as these things also would be-
come the property of Seiffert. Among the manuscripts
there is a geographical work more complete than any one
known to the present time and which is naturally, as well
as all the other works of the same nature, the property of
the heirs of the author. Only a sum of 400 thalers was
found, including bills. - This sum he had given to his old
servant, directing him by a writing to pay the expense of
his funeral therewith.

'THIS DAY.)

SHERIFFS' COURT.

SCANDALOUS OUTRAGE UPON A CHILD.-ALTON V. SMITH.
This was an action brought by Elizabeth Smith, a minor,
through her next friend, to recover D. damages for a most
scandalous outrage. Plaintiff's mother appeared with
plaintiff, a child about nine years of age, and stated that on
the 26th of April she sent her child out with her little
brother and sister. They all went into Salisbury-square,
and when outside the door of Mr. Lloyd's printing-office the
little boy's jacket came off. The child stooped to pick it up, but
a voice desired her to go away. The child replied that she
should go as soon as she had picked up the jacket, and as
she rose her head up, as it came upon a level with the key-
hole, a stick was pushed through by the defendant, which
severely injured her eye. The poor child suffered most
severely, and is still subject to the greatest pain.
Defendant (who is a machine boy) said it was not wil-
fully done. It arose entirely through accident. A lot of
children were always playing outside the printing house,
and putting saw-dust, tobacco-pipes, and herring-bones
through the keyhole. On the day in question he pushed
the piece of stick through the keyhole, he would admit, but
with no intention of injuring the child.
His Honour—What does the child say ?
Plaintiff (who was not sworn) said that she was outside
the door and saw defendant through the keyhole. He told
her to go away, and she said she should as soon as she had
picked up her brother's jacket. As soon as her eye was upon
a level with the keyhole he poked the stick produced
through (an awkward looking instrument) and it struck
her in the eye. He laughed at her.
His Honour—lt is a scandalous outrage, and if anybody
had seen you and given you into custody you would have
been most severely punished. You were once a child
yourself, and I dare say a great deal of trouble. You must
learn to control yourself, and should have pushed the
things out of the keyhole in such a manner that no one
could suffer. You get off most cheaply for £l, which you
must pay, with costs.
Defendant—l have only 8s a week. How can I pay ?
His Honour—l cannot help it. You must pay it. It is
a scandalous case.
