A CONSTANT READER.

Poole, Nov. 13, 1844.
" He (Napoleon) became very animated, and, with
evident pride to himself, contrasted his mode of govern-
ing to that pursued in Great Britain ; laughed at men
being frightened in this enlightened age at popes or
priests ; and observed with great emphasis, that his rule
of conduct had been to extinguish all religious animosi-
ties, by giving to all an identity of interests, and thus
consolidate public opinion to his government. Ile added,
I gave to the Protestants and to the Catholics pecuniary
establishments, and equal civil rights ; and I found to the
last hour of my reign, the Protestants warmly attached
to me. The Jews also participated in all civil rights,
and I found them, not only in France, but in the many
difficulties in which I was engaged in my campaigns in
Poland, warmly attached to me."

TAIN, Nov. 4.—A case which excited some interest
was decided in the Small Debt Court here last week.
The pursuers, Mr. Henry, farmer, I'itealnie, Nigg, had a
bull which some time ago killed his herd-boy, and the
action was raised against eleven young men, farm-
servants at Arabella, who had gone, shortly after the
accident, and shot the furious animal. It was urged on
the part of the pursuer, that he intended to kill the bull,
and had agreed with the agent for the freight of it by
steam to Edinburgh, for which he is now liable, and the
defenders having killed it without his permission, he was
entitled to the full value. Many able arguments were
adduced by Mr. Grigor in favour of the defender. The
bull was valued at 9/. when alive, and 71. 16s. when left
dead ; and the sheriff decided that the defenders were
liable in the difference, together with the charge of
freight.—Ross-shire Advertiser.
THE QUEEN'S-ROAD, BAYSWATER.—The new road
through Kensing-gardens from Bayswater to Kensington,
is now completed. Two handsome gates have been
erected at Bayswater, bearing the royal arms, and the _
road is to be called the "Queen's-road.' There are several
magnificent mansions erected on the line, which are
ready for habitation.
A CORONER'S JURY FINING ITSELF.—At an inquest
held not long ago, at Letty Green, near Hertford, on the
body of a woman who had accidentally shot herself with
a gun, carelessly left on the table loaded by her husband,
a poacher, the jury, to mark their displeasure of the
man's neglect, levied upon the gun a deodand of 10s.
The husband was in a state of great poverty, and utterly
unable to raise half that sum, and the Coroner, in default
of payment or obtaining the gun, was about to commit
him to gaol, when the jury, pitying his distress, raised
the sum from their own pockets, and thus paid a fine
they themselves had inflicted.
EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A SERVANT.
Yesterday information was received at Bow-street, as
the chief office, and forwarded to the different metropo-
litan Police-offices, that on the 10th instant a young man
named John James Snare, assistant to Mr. Cotterell,
pawnbroker, Shoe-lane, Fleet-street, absconded from his
master's employ, taking with him 200 L in money—
namely, 1001. in gold, 801. in Bank of England notes, and
201. in silver. It is supposed he has gone to France by
Boulogne or Calais ; but all pursuit in that direction had,
up to last night, been ineffectual.

THE LATE FORGERY OF BANK OF ENGLAND
`NOTES.—We understand that several more of these have
made their appearance since we last alluded to the sub-
ject and been paid by the Bank. Although a number
of Bow-street officers have been on the alert, no clue
seems yet to have been obtained with regard to the cul-
prits. It is probable that the forgers themselves may
have taken their departure for America or some -other
protecting country, ere the issue of the notes occurred
and the negotiators were mere tools in their 'hands,
whom it may be almost an impossibility to tram—.
Brussels British Gazette.

Sir William Follett and family left Milan on the
29th ult., for Leghorn, on his way to Genoa. The learned
Attorney-General continued to improve in health. We
learn by the same source that Prince Michael Obreno-
witch had left Milan also for Leghorn and Genoa.
INVENTION OF STEAM NAVIGATION.—It appears,
from a printed circular which has just been published,
that the merit of this discovery is due to a mfin named
Taylor, a n: tine of Cumnock, who first succeeded in pro-
pelling a boat by steam, in the year 1788. In acknow-
ledgment of his claim, a pension of .50/. per annum was
settled upon his widow, by Government, and a donation
cf 501. waa subsequently made to each of his four sur-
viving sisters; bat, as this is justly deemed a poor re-
muneration for such important services, it is suggested
that a national testimonial should be made to the family
of Mr. Taylor.—Northern

her Majesty Queen Adelaide has been pleased to sub-
scribe the very liberal sum of 501 per annum towar4s
