fascination, she could please much mtitgl 01*Laen
who were superkr to her in understand „;_poggional

husband in the most unfavourable colotirOttii, en re- 'Zi‘•:?Z.4/,,N
turned from Egypt, tilled him with anger. - Ho had "it:4.",
thaights of separating himself from a wife.whom, right
or wrong, he believed to be culpable. She wept a long.; *
tune at his feet ; her two children, Hortense and Eugene
Beauharnais, both very dear to General Bonaparte, wept
too ; he was overcome, and yielded to a conjugal ten-
derness which, for many years, was with him paramount
to policy. He forgot the real or alleged faults of
Jos6phine ; he loved her still, but not as in the early
period of their union. The unbounded extravagance,
the vexatious imprudences, in which she daily indulged,
frequently excited in her husband gusts of impatience
which he could not repress ; but he forgave her with
the kindness which prosperity inspires, and could not
long be angry with a woman who had shared the first
moments of his nascent greatness, and who, from the
day of their union, seemed to have brought Fortune
along with her.
Madame Bonaparte was altogether a woman of the
ane len 74inie, devout, super,titious, nay, a royalist, de-
testing what she called the Jacobins, who hated her in
return ; seeking only the society of the ancient nobility,
who, returning in throngs, as we have said, used to visit
her in the morning. They had known her the wife of
an honourable man, pretty high in rank and military
standing, the unfortunate Beauharnais, who died on the
revolutionary scaffold ; they found her the wife of a
pa, venu, but of a parvenu more powerful than any prince
in Europe ; they did not hesitate to go and solicit
favours, while affecting to look down upon her. She
was eager to make them partakers of her power, and to
render them services. She even took pains to excite in
them a sort of illusion which they were fond of iudulg-
in,r, that, in reality, General Bonaparte was only wait-
ing for a favourable occasion to recal the Bourbons, and
to restore the inheritance which belonged to them.
And, singularly enough, this illusion, which she de-
lighted to instil into them, she would almost fain have
shared herself ; for she would rather have seen her hus-
band a subject of the Bourbons, but a subject the pro-
tector of his kings, surrounded by the homage of thia
ancient French aristocracy, than crowned monarch by
the hand of the nation. She was a very faint-hearted
woman. Though giddy, she loved that man who covered
her with glory, and loved him the more since she wag
less beloved by him.

NOVELTIES, INVENTIONS, AND
CHANGES.
The rage for novelty is the pervading passion of all
classes of Londoners. They are the inost exigeant
people in the world in this resw:d, and the inventive
faculties of our artists, mamifacturers, and crafts •
men must be sorely taxed to find the wherewithal
to gratify this restless entichement. The fair and
graceful denizens of Mayfair, the "travelled
beaux" who throng the stately salons of Holder-
ness House, or Devonshire house, the fat
and greasy citizens, and the plodding tradesman
who drives hebdomadally in his gaudy phaeton
to his cottage, with a double coach-house on Clapham-
common, are one and all equally affected by this de-
sire. If novelty can be combined with utility,
taut mieux, but if not, the masa of useless frivolities,
which are to be found in our shop windows, bear
ample evidence of the facility with which this taste

the Quadrant, whip;,h -in R foundcom-
bined
at that vast establis
meat Regent-street, near to
this !am is occupied by Messrs. Nicoll.
The inventive
"powers of the artist who presides over
of fashion are always at work. The rarni-
fics.tions of his far-spreading fame extend into every
capital of Europe. The gorgeous East is ransacked
to furnish the costly materials for the rich waistcoats
which are laid out in such sumptuous profusion on his
counters, and the magnificence of his numerous robes
de chambre is also the object of general attention. He
has recently introduced a new species of coat, which is
called his Registered Paletot," and after much
trouble, and a considerable display of ingenuity, he
has succeeded in constructing a garment which will
be equally available for the equestrian or pedestrian.
England is undoubtedly burthened with no great
debt of gratitude to her sapient legislators, but
amongst the few good " Acts" which they have re-
cently passed is one which empowers inventors to ap-
propriate to themselves, during the space of three
years, the profits arising from the sale of the invented
article, and this will fortunately enable Mr. Nicoll
to derive some benefit from his ingenuity. The ma-
terial from which these garments are " built," is
woven from the wool of the llama, and Lea a pecu-
liarly soft and silken description. The application of
the various substances which are used as linings, will
reader this paletot suitable for either summer or win-
ter wear.
In Edward-street, Portman-square, there dwells a
Schneider, bight Wilson, who has conceived the
happy idea of lining coats and sailing jackets with air
bags filled with blow-pipes. If the wearer find him-
self in any unpleasant predicament which involves the
possibility of his being suddenly immersed in gurgite
caste, he can instantly inflate himself up to such a
buoyancy, that nothing but a cork could compete
with him ; and after having puffed himself up like
the frog in the fable, he turns a small screw to keep
him " in wind," and can then calmly and philosophi-
cally await the impending danger in all the air-tight
consciousness of security. " Every man his own
Humane Society" seems to be Mr. Wilson's motto ;
rowers who avail themselves of his invention may
venture forth in frail wager-boats without having be-
fore their eyes the dread of all that—
" horrid apparatus
By which folks arc unsuffocated gratis."
And the security afforded by these sailing jackets
will he no inconsiderable addition to the pleasures of
yachting. These air-bags may be fitted into any coat
for a comparatively trifling sum. It has been hitherto
said that drowning men catch at straws, but if any
man on board a sinking boat were discovered to pos-
sess one of these life-preserving garments, his fellow-
passengers would find something more substantial to
" catch at " than a mere morceau de paille.
The numerous washes and cosmetics with which
the faded beauties of former days vainly sought
to restore the charms of their youth, were laid
aside simultaneously with pitches, hoop petti-
coats, &c. They were shot down by the
fire of Pope and Swift's satirical artillery. But
the teeth and hair are, unfortunately, subject
to many of those ills which flesh is heir to, and
the whole civilised world bears testimony to the effi-
cacy and restorative power in several of Messrs. Row-
land's inventions. It w ere vain to speak of their
Kalydor or Odonto, since the whole periodical press
teems with their praises. The best proof of their
real excellence is to be found in the numerous imita-
tions of these articles, which renders extreme caution
necessary ; otherwise, the unwary purchaser will be
duped, and find his toilette table covered with useless,
and, perhaps, injurious compounds. In Paris, how-
ever, the ladies are not content with these adjuncts to
beauty. They place but little reliance in the power
of those charms which the Arab chiefs lately declared
had put the sun out of countenance. They call in
the aid of all those artificial adornments of jewellery
and bijouterie with which M. Piot tempts his fair cus-
tomers. What numbers of coroneted carriages now
" stop the way" on the broad and noble Boulevard
des Italiens, at the establishment which he has re-
cently opened near to the Opera Comique ! The se-
lection of jewellery which English ladies have
brought to this country from M. Piot's shop, speaks
volumes in favour of his taste, judgment, and work-
manship. Whatever be the epithets which N. Thiera
may think fit to apply to England, M. Piot has as-
suredly no right to talk about "pes:fide Albion," for
the natives of our isle flock in large numbers to the
establishment, and do not allow a day to elapse after
their arrival in Paris without making extensive
emplettes.— Post.

MORE GAME OUTRAGES.— Some nights ago, a
gamekeeper named Bridges was told there were two well-
known poachers, named Rutter and Ashcroft, residing in
Bewdley Forest, in the Rance Wood, in the parish of
Mamble, near Cleobury Mortimer, upon which he and
his informant went in search of them. After waiting in
the neighbourhood of the wood for some time, without
seeing the poachers, Bridges and his companion parted
to return to their respective homes. Shortly afterwards
Bridges heard the report of a gun, and on going back he
saw the poachers coming out of the wood, upon which
he laid hold of one of them, in whose pocket he felt the
barrel of a gun. The latter then pulled out the stock,
and struck Bridges on the head with such violence that
he fell to the ground senseless. Some time afterwards
consciousness returned, and he succeeded in reaching
Mamble, when Mr. Jones, surgeon, of Cleobury Morti-
mer, was called in, and that gentleman found he had
received a severe wound on the forehead; several inches
in length. We are happy to state that he is now in a
fair way of recovery. The poachers are supposed to have
made their way into Staffordshire, for they had not been
taken when this account was sent to us.—A few nights
afterwards, William Inett, who acted as gamekeeper in
the absence of Bridges, saw two Tenhury poach
named Baldwin and Williams, going towards the Forest
Cover, upon which he watched their motions, and shortly
,powahchenershfeelllags
afterwards saw them snare three rabbits. He accord-
