she manifested her superiority, at Laxenburg, , by

be apt to think that such an amusement hardly becat. 10
a Christian and a sovereign lady, they will at leak t
allow that it was a more dignified sport than that fa.
lowed by the apostate Christine of Sweden, who, armed.
with a little rifle of some [few ounces weight, was wont
to kill, and gravely bag, all the flies who dared too
trouble her royal presence. The heathen Domitian,
cultivating cabbages, presents a more tolerable spectacle
than either the Popish empress, or the now Protestant,
now Popish, and always pseudo-Christian Queen."

HESSE CASSEL, SEPT. 25.—From this day the ex-
portation of corn from the electorate is prohibited.
COLOGNE, SEPT. 25.—The Cathedral Journal ccn-
tains several documents, among which are the letter of
the King of Frussia, expressing his approbation of what
has hitherto been done, and promising to do his utmost
to promote the great work ; and 2, the address of thanks
to the Queen of England,for the interest which she took
in the Cathedral during the visit to the Rhine, which
was manifested not only by the most gracious expres-
siont of approbation, but by a truly royal donation; and
an address of thanks has likewise been sent to the King
of Hanover.

HANOVER, SEPT. 24.—A new rescript of tho Go-
vernment respecting the German Catholics declares

tions of the so-called Leipsic Council, cannot be tole-
rated or recognised in the Electorate of Hesse ; that the
members of such a sect cannot be allowed the assistance

NEW WORKS AT WINDSOR
AND ETON.
Reslorations are going on gradually at St. George's
Chapel. The open. work parapet, which is at present of
compo, is to be reinstated in stone ; Pratt's carrying ma-
chine is to be employed on it. By the way, Hollar's
print of the chapel (1663):shows every one of the pinnacles
surmounted by a vane ; these should be restored. Addi-
tional stained-glass windows have been recently inserted
in the north and south aisles. Henry VIIL's
gateway opposite the chapel is under repair, and
the Salisbury Tower is being rebuilt. Locke and Nes-
ham are the contractors. Caen stone is used. A new sewer
has been constructed in Windsor by the Government ;
the course of it is from Frogmore to Sheet- street,
and thence to the cavalry and infantry barracks, with
a branch to the Castle. It was proposed at first
to construct a more extensive line, and that the town
should contribute a portion of the cost. At a public
meeting, however, which was called on the occasion, the
inhabitants unwisely, as it seems to us, refused to co-
operate in the matter.

At Eton College great alterations have been made.
The noted long dormitory has been divided into separate
apartments, and extensive ranges of chambers built in
Werton's yard, so as to afford a separate sleeping-room
to each scholar. The new rooms are all heated by hot
water. An apartment has been built to serve
as a library for the use of the pupils, and is a
handsome room with a large stained-glass
window by Willement, containing the arms of
her Majesty. the Prince, the Duke of New-
castle, the College, &c. The fittings are of
deal—they should have been of oak. Mr. Shaw is the
architect, Mr. Burton the contractor. The selected
drawings for the restoration of the chapel are
exhibited with the view of inducing subscrip-
lions. The design does not present any remarkable
features. If the rejected designs had fewer points or
value than this, they must have been very indiffertut
affairs indeed. According to the proposed new arrange-
ment. the organ is to be placed in an apartment on the
north side of the building near the east end. The
chapel is to be vaulted with stone, and the body of it
filled with stalls and other sittings.—The Builder.

RAILWAY ACCIDEN T.—On Thursday afternoon,
about half-past three, as Mr. E. W. James, solicitor, of
Greenwich, was steppingout of the train before it had stopped,
the toe of his boot, which was one of the fashionable
French make, unfortunately caught the edge of the platform,
causing him to slip, when his foot falling on the rails the
carriages went over it. He instantly fell;and was conveyed
home to his residence on Crooms-hill, where he was at-
tended by Drs. Wattsford, Sutton, and Hurch. On the
boot and stocking being cut off; it was in consequence of the
very great inflammation and swelling difficult to discover
what was the nature of the injury, and an immediate appli-
cation of leeches and warm fomentations ordered. On in-
quiry yesterday we ascertained that the Learned Gentleman
was in less pain, although from theswilingandinflarßmation

not having decreased, it was impossible for his medical ad-
visers to ascertain the nature of the injuries. The accident
occurred from the anxiety of Mr. James to leave the car-
riage before the train had finally stopped.
CATCH OF HERRINGS.—The catch of herrings at
Yarmouth, and along the coast, has been extraordinarily
large, and very high prices have been realised. It is the
fashion, before the commencement of the regular herring
fishing season, for some of the fishermen who have boats and
nets of their own, to go a short distance from the shore,
and catch what they can on their own account —The her-
rings so caught are generally few and very fine ones, and they
usually realize a high price.—The pi ice this year has been
or 9s. a hundred, or 45/. a last; but on Monday the catch
was of an unusually heavy description. One boat alone,
with only three men, brought on shore nearly a last of
herrings, and several of them in brief space caught
a last and a half. The railway has enabled them to sell
them to a great advantage, and the fishermen have seldom
made such a favourable hit. The fishing boats on Monday'
and Tuesday started off for the regular herring fishery. The
Dutch fleet of fishing vessels (thirty-two sail), have also
been at Yarmouth as usual to " wet their nets," and then
sailed fur the herring fishing, on Monday and Tuesday, about
the same time as the Yarmouth boats.—Norfolk Chronicle.
ENGLISH THEATRICALS AT AMSTERDAM.—Yes-
terday evening a company of English performers gave
the first of twelve proposed representations. It is now a
considerable period since our fellow-townsmen who study
the English language and literature, have been able to enjoy
such an advantage, and take part in what is now offered to
them

The first-representation has proved to us that the
present company is highly deserving of our patronage and
support. Miss Davenport, who acted the part of Juliet, in
Shakspeare's tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, can with justice
be ranked among the first actresses of her country. She
unites youth, beauty, an agreeable delivery, with intense feel-
ing, judgment, study, and practical skill. The character
of Juliet combines the native innocence of a girl of 18—the
first birth of the sentiments of love in the virgin heart—the
romantic soar of imagination—the fidelity and strength of
unchangeable constancy—in fortune by the softest emotions
—in misfortune by a courage more than human, and at
length by the sacrifice of the faithful and loving husband.
All these qualities were executed by Miss Davenport with
the greatest truth, and expressed with a happy union of
voice and gesture that bore off the astonishment and admi-
ration of the audience, even of those who had not the least
knowledge of the language. Repeated and loud applause
was the reward of her exertions, and after the play was
acted, she was called to appear upon the stage. Mr. Charles
Dillon, who appeared in the character of Romeo, is also
favoured with a good appearance, and exhibited the result
of study, combined with practical experience ;
but at the
same time, we must observe, that he wants the necessary

CASE OF SUPPOSED POISONING.—Much excite-
ment has been created in Truro and its neighbourhood, by
the rumour that a labourer of the parish of flea, named Peter
Bonython, had died through the administration of poison.
The deceased had been ill about six weeks, apparently of
inflammation of the bowels, and had been attended by Mr.
Kirkness, surgeon, of Truro, who subsequently called in
Dr. Barham. Notwithstanding the attentions of these
gentlemen, however, the patient died on Thursday, the
25th ult. Before his death various rumours had prevailed
in the neighbourhood of the unkindness of deceased's
wife, and it was suggested that his death had been occa-
sioned by poison. The medical attendants, on being ap-
plied to, considered that symptoms had 'been exhibited
during the illneEs of deceased, which should induce them
to opal the body, and accordingly a post wortem examina-
tion took place, before Dr. Barham, and Messrs. Kirkness
and Paul, surgeons. The result was such as to warrant

hem in sending the stomach for examination to Mr. Pri-
leAux, of Plymouth, an eminent analytical chemist. In the
wean time, the coroner of the district, J. Carton, Esq., had
icen informed of the circumstances, and snmmoncd a

jury to inquire into the cause of death. The inquest was
held on Friday last, at the Cornish Arms, Caieniek, but
after the examination of one witness, it was adjourned to

Friday. the 3d inst., to await the result of Mr. i'rideaux's
analysis of the contents of
.the stomach. At present many
reports are in circulation respecting the pest conduct
of deceased's wife, which, for obvious reasons, we
forbear to mention. The deceased was interred on Sunday
last, in Kenwyn churchyard, the funeral being followed by
an immense crowd of people. He was about thirty-eight
years of age at the time of his death, and, we are informed,
was an honest, sober, and industrious mrn. Mrs. Bonythou
is about ten years younger than her husband. They' had
been married about eight years, and have two children living.

HANBURGH MAIL.
BERLIN, SEPT. 25.—The Voss Gazette of to-day has
a long article on the derangement in the Zollverein and
in the conferences at Carlsruhe ; it says, among other
observations If we believe accounts derived from very
respectable private authority, Prussia will probably not
now resolve to yield to the South German States. In-
dependently of the general principles of the Administra-
tion, it seems to be justly apprehended that such
commission might render the important prospect
less and less probable of the accession of Hanover,
Mecklenburgh, and the Hanseatic cities to the Zollve-
rein ; and, in truth, the accession of these States is of
such immense importance, that even great temporary
sacrifices should be regarded. It is only through them
that the Zollverein can become a maritime power, whose
coasts will no longer be kept, by the Sound duties, in a
kind of hostile blockade. But it is true that those States
are fully aware of their importance to the Zollverein,
and therefore demand a 'sigh price for Ahcir accession.
It is thought, however, that the idea of separate Zoll-
verein has been conceived, which, in ease the differences
at Carlsruhe should lead to a breach, would form a
North German Union, of which Prussia would be the
head.
