_ .
James Stevens, of the Royal Marines, who so bravely
in the late battle of Navarin, both belonged to the Ch

hi
ham Division. They were both officers of most exemplar
honourable, and amiable characters, and had both exp ,
riencid long and arduous service. The, for Mer was near y
ten years a. prisoner of war in France, and much to s

credit supported his orphan ntphews and nieces. Tto

a Lieutenant in the Royal Marine Artillery, to lament th r
irreparable loss. Both Captains Bell and Stevens have t

DlED,—After a few days' illness, on his wail,
to Lisbon, the Senor.P. VAaoos LASSO, so distinguisho
for his talents arid his patriotism. He had lately mar-
ried KATHEKINE, daughter of, his admired and veriera -
ed friend, the late most unfortunate -- of Char ;
a character equally well known for a love of scienT
taste in art, and for the brilliant figure he made abo t
thirty years ago in the gay world. He numberaff
amongst his friends all the wits of his day. The lament-;
ed Senor LASSO had helped him in his almost complete
collection of drawings and prints of the heads' of t e.
most eminent men of his time, partienlariv of those he hod
valued amongst his more intimate associates. The colle -
tion will be sent to the hammer in England, with so e
rare drawings by the great Spanish masters. The Sen V
P. Vaahos LASSO was enabled, through his former eccl -
slastical character, to procure many prscious relics fair•
during his sojourn abroad. . We intend to gite
a short oketch of the Senor Lasso's life, one of the mo t
eventful and, romantic in the annals of society. But o r
bunts to-day forbid it.
VIRTUE QR YOUNG WOMEN'S KlS:.i.titi !
The notion of prolonging life by inhaling the breath f
voting women was. (as. observes Air. WARD) an agreeab e
aeht3ion easily credited; and one physician, who had hie -
self written on health, was so :aflueneeti by it, that he a -
wally took lodgings in a boarding-school, that he mid t
never be without a constant supply of the proper atmo -
phere. PHILIP THICKNESSE, who wrote The Valetud -
52arian's Guide, in P7'79, seems to hive taken a do
whenever he could. 'I am myself (says he) turned f
sixty, and in general, though I have lived• in various el'
mates, and suffered severely both in body and mind, ye ,
having always partaken of the breath of young women,
whenever they lay in my way, I feel none of the infirmii-
ties which so often strike the eyes and. ears in this great
city (Bath) of sickness, by men many years younger than
thyself.' " Ilradd's illemi—N. B. We have tried this rei-

BURLINGTON ARCADE.—In consequence
of the statement made by CURTIS, one of the beadles of t
Arcade, oa Saturday last at Marlborough-street, relative)
to the great number of improper visitors to the abov
fashionable place of resort and business, some of th
inhabitants waited on the Chairman of the Comruitte, an,
requested him to convene a meeting to' consider-The inns
effectual measures to remove the stigma Which their office
had cast upon the frequenters of the Arcade; accordingly
the Committee met on Tuesday night in the house of the
Chairman.' A gentlemaq connected with the Press attendi
en, and requested admission, •het, .though • supported lir
some of.the members of the Committee, his introductil
was opposed by the majority. Upon the Chairma
taking the Chair, the Meeting proceeded to investigate the
charges which the beadle and an inhabitant,. who is one ot
' this Committee, had brought forward against the establish 4
ment. A long discussion took place. A portion of thi
Committee insisted on the dismissal of CURTIS ; the rei
'minder as vehemently insisted on his being retained. li'
was at last resolved, that three of the Members should lay;
before the rest of the Committee a series of Resolutions.
On the following day this was accordingly done, but, lo
the Chairman had by yesterday morning altered his mind a
and on the three Committee men waiting on him, he OA
served that it was the determination of his colleagues to le4
the business rest. I

. At a late meeting of the Academy of science
at Paris, an account was given of a new invention by
person named CONTI, for printing with extraordinary rapi
dity. 51. Corm has contrived what he calls a tachygraph
and tachytype ; the former enables a person to print with'
facility, almost as quickly as speaking, even Without the aid
of the eye, on paper, wax, and soft metals, with all sorts of
characters and punches regularly fabricated. The tadiygraphi
consists chiefly of a portable case, in the midst of ‘vhick
placed an horizontal chase, a shelf of marble uc iron, the,
size of a sheet of paper, moveable before and behind,
which is placed the sheet of paper which is to receive, the
writing. As each line. is printed, the moveable shelf ad-1
vances a space equal to the interval which separates thet
lines. Above the marble table is :suspended a kind oft
round box, moveable from left to rigli4 in which are dis-
.
posed all around, and. in a certain order, characters oil
tempered steel, in sufficient number to express all the pal
the writing. Each of these characters or punches
answers to a key (like the keys of a harpsichord) which ist
placed before the box and the moveable table. Upon radii
key is engraved the character corresponding to the punch..
All these keys are so disposed that they can be played upon
without displacing the hand. At each pressure of a key,
the • corresponding punch moistens itself with ink, and:
places
itself in the centre of the box, by the action of ai
little spring, which suddenly presses it, and as Fromptlyi
retires to make way for the other punches, and so on. The
l
cost of one of these machines, it is stated, would be 6001
francs, or about
