FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

Yesterday Sir Herbert Taylor, Military Secretary to
the Duke of York, transacted military business with
his Royal Highness, at Mr. Greenwood's villa, in
Brompton, which occupied the Royal Duke nearly the
whole of the day, it being two days since his Royal
Highness transacted business with Sir Herbert.
Yesterday afternoon, at two o'clock, a Cabinet
Coimeil was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing-
street, summonses for which were issued on Wednesday
evening. The members of the Cabinet present were
the Duke of Wellington, the Earls of Liverpool, Hu-
rowby, Westmorland, and Bathurst, Mr. Secretary
Peel, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, Viscount Melville, Mr. litiskinon, Mr.
Wynn, Lord Bexley, &c. The deliberations of the
Cabinet continued till five o'clock. The Earl of . ,
Li-
verpool came to town from his country resmence at
Combe-wood, Surrey.
Prince Polignac, the French Ambassador, left town
last night, on leave of absence from his Court, for the
South of France. M. Roth, the First-Secretary of
the Embassy, remains as Charge d'Affaires.
On Wednesday, being the anniversary of his Ma-
jesty's coronation, the Lord Mayor gave a grand en-
tertainment on board the navigation barge at Twicken-
ham.

It is now said to be determined that none"of the
Russian conspirators will undergo capital punishment.
Besides the clemency of the Emperor, which naturally
inclines him to this course, he is said to be of opinion
that punishment inflicted, even on the most guilty,
will only serve to augment the misfortunes which for
a considerable time past has pressed so heavily on the
Empire.
SIR W. Scorr.—lt would have gratified us much
to have been able to confirm the report in a London
Paper, of a valuable employment having been bestowed
on the Great Unknown. The late Mr. Bruce held
the office of King's printer for Scotland, in conjunc-
tion with Sir David Hunter Blair, by patent, which
does not terminate for 13 years, and for which period
it was to be enjoyed by them, their heirs, executors,
or assignees.--Caledonian Mercury.
The Mexican Government has seized all property
belonging to the late firm of B. A. Goldschmidt and
Co., in the territory of that Republic.--Globe.
A captain of an Indianian purchased two of the
largest draught horses he could get in this kingdom,
and carried them to Calcutta, where he sold them to
some one, who re-sold them to the Nawaub of Luck-
now for 10,000 rupees (1,2501.) They were fine
animals, and he took great delight in showing them to
the native gentlemen, calling them the English ele-
phants. For a long time he amused himself daily in
seeing what a quantity of grain they devoured at each
meal ; in fact, they were never put to any use, what.
ever, and were soon killed by over-feeding.
Currants, raspberries, and gooseberries, are this sea-
son found to be particularly injurious to those who in-
dulge in them, whether eaten as a desert, or used in
pastry. The dry weather occasioned them to ferment
on the bushes, instead of attaining a proper degree of
ripeness, and many of the prevalent maladies, cholera
morbus, diarrhoea, and other stomach complaints, ari
attributed to this cause.—Taunion Courier.
