We know not how the report got into circulation,
which designated Lady Halford- as destined to the
Peerage. Doubtless her Ladyship would adorn any
rank in society ; but we have reason to know that the
rumour above mentioned was, in all its circumstances,
perfectly unfounded.—Netu Times.
The Gazette of last night contains a notice to
Aliens, in pursuance of the Act of the Session just
concluded.
Yesterday morning, between seven and eight o'clock,
the Royal Horse Guards (Blue) marched from
Knightsbridge Barracks, under the command of Lieut.-
Col. Hill, to Wormwood Scrubs, for the purpose of
having a field-day. This fine, body of men went
through the various evolutions greatly to the satisfac-
tion of the Gallant Commander The fineness of the
day attracted a great number of persons to the ground.
The regiment returned to Knightsbridge between
twelve and one o'clock.

Paper.
On Saturday, the 27th May, between live and six
in the evening, the hamlet of Canebe, in the com-
mune of Jujuieux (Ain), was laid waste by an exten-
sive inundation, caused by the bursting of a water-
spout upon the adjacent mountain. The torrent (sud-
denly formed) precipitated itself with such violence as to
overtu'n and sweep away all that was found in its
course: The cellars and lower stories of all the houses
of the hamlet were inundated, and in some of them
the water rose to the height of ten feet. On the site
of the village of Canebe nothing is seen but walls
thrown down, vines torn up by the roots, meadows
covered with
,earth and rubbish, and, to complete the
wretchedness'of the unhappy cultivator, all hopes of
his harvest for more than one year utterly destroYed.
In the vicinity of Blair Adam, a few days since, as
one of the female servants, in leaving the house, was
passing some of het former fellow-servants, who were
sat that time occupied in heating a very large boiler,
one of the men, in sport, took 'her up in his arms, and
facetiously said, that as she was now flitting, and this
might be the last time they might all meet, he would
give her a dip in the boiler.'‘ A struggle ensued,
they lost their balance, and, horrible to relate, were.
plunged into -Ole vessel, which at that moment was
-nearly full of boiling water. The injury sustained was'
such, that the man died the same evening, and th'i
woman expired next morning in the most excruciating
agonies.--.File Herald.
Died on the sth instant, at Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
Chariot Ogle, Esq. iu. the 71st year of his age, many years Canoe-
tor at that port.
