ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.

We regret that the health of the venerable Primate
has not improved since yesterday; the accounts from
Addington Park this morning state that his Grace
continues much the same.

The inquiries at Lambeth Palace were more numer-
ous this forenoon than heretofore; the messengers
from the members of the Royal Family were early in
attendance. A bulletin, of which the following is a
copy, was exhibited this morning :
" His Grace the Archbishop has passed a tranquil
night, and continues much in the same state as yes-
terday.
" Wednesday, Aug. 31, 9 A.M., Addington Park."

BRIGHTON, AUG. 30, 1842.—The General Steam
Navigation Company's packet, Lord, arrived yesterday
afternoon from Havre. The Dart arrived at noon from
Dieppe, with 60 passengers, carriages, &c. Among the
passengers were the Marquis of Fayal, family, and
suite; the Rev. Mr. Torriano, &c. &c. The Countess
Szafary, the Prince de Lichittlx and suite, Mrs. Fuller
and family, Mrs. Stachs and family, &c. &c., went the
outward passage. The outward passage occupied seven
hours and a halt; and the homeward eight hours only.
. .

The following, from the Inszdaire Francaise, is a
striking instance of the still uncivilised state of Corsica:
—" The bandit Santa Lucia, having threatened the me-
dical-man at Rocasera with assassination, the latter,
as a measure of prudence, sought an asylum in the
chief town of the department. A few days after-
wards, at, six o'clock in the morning, he was seen in
the street by Santa Lucia, who instantly raised his gun
and shot him dead. At the report of the gun the
neighbours assembled in considerable numbers, and sur-
rounded the murderer, but with great coolness he drew
forth his stiletto, and threatened to stab the first who
should venture to lay hands on him. The crowd opened
a passage for him, and he retreated quietly through the
streets. As he passed by a post of custom-house soldiers,
he was summoned to surrender. " Come and take me,"
said he, concealing his stiletto. A soldier having at-
tempted to seize him, he again drew out his stiletto and
stabbed the man in three places. He then continued
his route, and two soldiers without their muskets having
ventured to follow him, he discharged his carbine at
them, but fortunately without wounding them, and then,
having again reloaded, rapidly disappeared in the country."
A CLASSIC 4L HORTICULTURIST.—At Sutton, near
Abingdon, Berks, a board is fixed up on a small cottage
at' the end of the village, with the following unique an-
nouncement :—" Thomas Cullum, arborist, florist, horti-
culturist, propagator of culinary and esculent vegetables,
indigenous and exotic trees, shrubs, and plants ; budder,
grafter, pruner, and trainer of standard, espalier, and
mural fruit-trees, and operator of every practical branch
of the horticultural geoponics.—N.B. Plantations laid
out on the most picturesque, geometrical, and scientific
principles, on the shortest notice."
A clerk in the Rouen Post-office, named Roussel,
was last week sentenced by the Tribunal of Correctional
Police of that city to three years' imprisonment, for
stealing letters containing remittances.
The Journal de Rouen relates that on Wednesday
last, while Mlle. Ernestine Jobey, a young lady 21 years
of age, was bathing in company with Mme. Bizet de
Cantelou, in the Seine, near the Cote de Deux Amens,
she suddenly sunk in a hole, at least 18 feet deep. At
the moment of sinking she caught the hand of Mme.
Bizet, but soon lost her presence of mind, relinquished
her hold, and went to the bottom. Every exertion wet
made to recover her, but an hour and a half elapsed
before she could be brought to the surface, and then, 01
course, life had fled for ever.
