Since the licensed gaming-houses were closed
there have existed various establishments of a similar
nature, so completely under the guise of private parties,
that the police have hardly been able to detect them.
Into one of these M. C—, the son of a partner
in the bottle manufactory at Sevres, was intro-
duced on Saturday last, under the pretence of its
being a select vestry. He was received with the utmost
hospitality, and induced to partake so plentifully of
the punch offered to him, that be lost his self-govern-
ment, and sat down to play. For a while he won largely,
but fortune at length turned against him. In the
infatuated hope of retrieving himself, he continued
on till eight o'clock on Sunday morning, when be re-
tired a loser not only of a very considerable sum which
he had with him, but also one of a much larger
amount which he had had perfidiously lent him.
Under the feelings of remorse he went to his room and
shot himself. The ball did not enter his head, but only
lacerated his cheek. Had not the general noise of the
manufactory prevented the report from being heard he
might have been saved, for the ultimate cause of his
death was haemorrhage, which could at the commence-
ment have been easily stopped. This event is rendered
the more lamentable from the circumstance that M. C—
was fully able to pay the debt out of his own funds, and
was on the point of marriage with a lady of large fortune.
On Sunday last a quarrel arose in one of the streets
of Marseilles, between a young Genoese and the keeper
of a roulette-table, at which the foreigner was playing for
cakes, the Genoese maintaining that he had won, and the
table-keeper insisting he had lost. At length the
Genoese became so enraged that he snatched the index
from the table, and hurled it at the head of the other
disputant. It, however, missed its object, and entered
the eye of a wine-dealer standing by, with such force
that it was extracted by a surgeon with great difficulty.
The organ was totally destroyed, and an inflammation
of the brain, the usual consequence of such injuries, was
apprehended, and to prevent which, says the Semaphore
of Marseilles, which relates the outrage, the surgeon in
attendance has ordered that a censtant stream of cold
water should be made to flow from a tube upon the
afflicted part.

A letter from Cahors, the chief town of the depart-
ment of the Lot, relates that, in the night of the 28th
ult., four young men scaled the walls of the cemetery,
an, having collected a number of skulls, returned into
the town, dressed only in their shirts, and made a sort
of dance of death, rolling the spoils of mortality they
had procured before them along the streets. Some of
the inhabitants, who witnessed their profane orgies,
denounced them the next day to the police, and they
will, no doubt, be made to answer for the sacrilege.
BLACK GAME.—Black grouse is more abundant
in the various inclosures of the New Forest, in Hamp-
shire, this year, than it has been known to have been for
some years past. his circumstance may in some mea-
sure•be attributed to the favourable state of the weather
during the breeding season, but more so to the vigilance
of the forest-keepers, who have succeeded in defeating
the netting practices of the poachers upon the young
packs when they were little more than half grown.
The little picturesque village of Lyndhurst, situated in
the very centre of the new Forest, is already occupied
by a few straggling sportsmen, awaiting with anxiety
the 12th proximo. The birds are well up in condition,
and strong on the wing, and excellent sport is antici-
pated, more especially by two or three octogenarian
sportsmen, who find it less tedious and toilsome to them
to traverse the gentle " heather " slopes of the New
Forest than it is to "plod their weary way" over the
more rugged muirs of the north."

The ,cud of Marseilles gives the following account
of the late eclipse, as seen in that latitude under circum-
stances so much more favourable than in Paris:—" At 56
minutes 50 seconds past 5 in the morning the sun's disk
was completely veiled by the moon's orb, and left the earth
in obscurity. The transition from light to noctarnal dark-
ness was so sudden, that it drew an astonishing accla-
mation of surprise from 4,000 spectators, collected on
the Coline Bonaparte. The domestic birds, and a
great many of the quadrupeds, were observed to
show
their retreats. A certain number of stars appeared
in the firmament, which to the east and west was
illuminated by a small luminous fringe. A keen cold
was felt during the obscuration, which lasted two
minutes ; at the end of that time, the brightness instan-
taneously re-appeared, and filled the whole immensity
of the heavens. No idea, can be formed of the mag-
nificence of the spectacle."
It is stated in a letter from Tripoli, July 1, pub-
lished by the Commerce, that the Governor, Askar Ali,
was continuing the work of slaughter, and had decapitated
several influential persons since the last accounts. The
Arabs of the interior are said to be resolved on avenging
their chief, Abdel Gelil. Sheik Sadi had attacked and
exterminated the tribe of Bousief, which took part in be-
traying Abdel Gelil to Askar Ali.
A few days ago, during a. Violent storm, the
electric fluid fell on a windmill situated on the road be-
tween Saucoins and Grossouvre (Meurthe), and in a
short time reduced it to ashes. This building was known
by the name of Moulin Brute, probably because a similar
accident had formerly occurred in the same place. The
miller perished in the flames, leaving behind him a
widow and six children.
Lieut.-General the Duke de Clermont-TonneiTe,
Grand Cross of the Order of Saint Louis, died on the
12th inst., at the chateau of Glisolles (Sure), in his 90th
year. He was brother of the Cardinal of the same name,
and father of M. de Clermont-Tonnerre, ex-Minister of
the War Department and the Marine.
