THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND THE COS-
SACKS.—Our readers may imagine that the Emperor
of RUSSIA was anxious to pay every respect to the
Duke of WELLINGTON on his late approach to the
Russian capital, and for this purpose he ordered relays
of Cossacks to be on the road, to escort him on his
journey. A pftity was accordingly 'stationed on the
frontiers to obey the orders of their MONARCH ;
but the Noble Duke being in advance of his suite
about four miles, in it light Biucha,"lie was not recog-
nised, and suffered to pass without notice. The main
body of the suite, in several carriages, shortly after-
wards came up, wimp inquiry Was nimle for the. great
man, on which the mistake was,AiSecivered, and the
poor Cossacks, apprehensive of persornd consequences,
rode after his Grace with the utmostlury, unions to
repair their error. How the'Nobla:Duke felt on see-
ing himself thus pursued, We knout not but on receiV-;
ing an explanation, he was highly amused by the con-
fusion which the simplicity of his equipage had pro-

duced.
The Duke Of DEVONSIII Tt•E'S recent 'visit to Lord
and Lady GRANVILLE, at Paris, was connected with
his Grace's mission as Ambassador Extraordinary to the
Imperial Court of Russia, -of which we were the first
to inform the public. The Noble Duke's suite on this
occasion will include many. of his near .relatives, -and
very particular friends, the selection of whom is left en-
tirely to his own unfettered choice.
The late Dowager Viscountess CRENIORNE, whose
death we have already recorded, was a very great fa-
vourite with his Majesty GEORGE HI. and his Queen.
Her beautiful villa on the banks of the Thames, above
Chelsea Bridge, the gardens . and' grounds of which
were planted and adorned by Lady CRENIORNE, was
the scene of many a lengthened visit of their MA-
JESTIES and their daughters. 'rho poor in the neigh-
boxirhood of Chelsea, to whom her Ladyship was most
bountiful, will feel a severe loss by her death.
Married, at Southampton, Rear Admiral A. P.
HOLLIS, to HARRIET LoinsA, youngest daughter
.oIJA st ES CRAB, Esq. of Southampton.
A dashing Foreign Minister, being reproached by
his companions with having made the enormous settle-
ment of 10,0001. upon a celebrated danseuse, rebutted
the charge by exclaiming, ", Do you suspect me of
throwing away so much money upon stieh a face ?"
Ah, mon Prince," said a bystander, " you don't pay
for her face, but for yours."
FATAL ACCIDENT IN RICILMOND PARK.--As
a Mr. ACHESON, of Edinburgh, who was on a visit
with some friends at Brentford-' was riding yesterday in
Richmond Park, accompanied by his daughter, he fell
from his horse ; he was promptly conveyed to the Star
and Garter, where he received every attention. Me-
dical 'aid was immediately obtained, but in vain ; lie
expired about five o'clock in the afternoon.
STATE OF TRADE IN PAISLEY.—We are Sorry
to announce, that trade still continues in a very languishing condi-
tion, and that the prospect of any immediate improvement in
the India Imitation line, which is our principal branCh, is faint
indeed. There is a little stir in the silk manufacture, and se-
veral Louses have engaged a few of their unemployed hands; a
few weavers have likewise been engaged for striped and shaded
gown-pieces, which, from the taste displayed in the admirable
combination of the different colours, form a most beautiful
article. Plain work is considerably duller., Upon the whole,
