to wealthy families had been buried, and expecting that
.'rue ornaments of value, were interred with them, went
ni the night to the cemetery with the intent to rob their
graves. By some unaccountable mistake, he opened the
common fosse, and took up two bodies which were com-
Plctely devoid of anything of value. The other graves
Were untouched. •
The Memorial de Rouen relates that the 'Captain of a
merchant vessel moored off that place some nights since,
and who had previously shown decided symptoms of in-
sanity, being left alone but for a few minutes, mutilated
himself in a dreadful manner, rushed from his cabin to
the Poop, and. threw himself overboard. He was imme-
diately almost taken out of the water, but died soon
after of-his wounds.
There is now living at Verdun a man 102 years of
C,s)i age. who retains all his mental faculties, and is so strong
Z 4. !and active that he takes a walk every day, and, when
:teeasion requires, saws and cleaves his own fire-wood.
:I‘,e has been temperate and regular in his habits
f!') -...7enghout his life. He is married and has a family, is
:I'mill and thin, and so remerkably upright that no one
' would believe him to be older than 80.
A few days ago, says the Courrier du Pas de Calais,
M a soldier of the Ist Regiment of Erzineers, who had
knne to bed in a violent fever, being thirsty during the
night, put out his hand and swallowed the contents of a.
Jug which was near him, and which lie supposed to be
water. It was unfortuately a mixture of water, chalk,
4nfl white lead, which he was in the habit of using for
saving his accoutrements, and death was the result of
error.
b The Paris and Dijon mail was overturned, on Friday,
Qtween Saint Seine and Val Seizon, in consequence of
the road being deeply covered with snow. It required
. eleven horses to drat,- it out, and the vehicle did not ar-
till% at Dijon till eight next morning. Fortunately no
one was injured.
The Gazette des Tribunaux states that Prioul, who
was acquitted by the Court of Peers in the affair of Que-

as being a debtor to the State for more than 20,000 E,
„t°„th° Payment of which- lie was condemned in conse-
-I"ence of the events of 12th May, 1838.
The Charivari states that its responsible Editor has
been summoned to appear before the examining mag,is-
trate, but for what cause is not mentioned—a circum-
!'4, nece, it maliciously adds, the more to be regretted,
''nc, according to the new system of moral and indirect
complicity, it may be for some supposed offence commit-
ted siz or seven years ago.
A. letter from Toulon, of the Gth of January, says—
Captain de Lasseaux, commandant of packet boats,
went this morning on board the steamer Tonnerre, to
if possible, the Brandon steamer which was sunk fort St. Philip, at the entrance of the port of Mahon.
."-t all events he will direct the necessary measure of the
'alrage of the vessel, and the preservation of its ma-
chines which are said to be but little damaged."

PRIESTS AND PEOPLE.-A!1 account appeared
in Tile Sun some time since of the persecution
inflicted upon a farm labourer of the name of
Key by the minister of Barry, a parish in the
neighbourhood of Arbroath, which has excited
much indignation and sympathy among the
people of Scotland. The minister, and those
who took part with him, were hooted in their
own stronghold, the Presbytery, and were
Obliged to take shelter in a public. house,
where they proposed to discuss, with closed
doors, a charge brought against the clergy-
roan) hut the waled
declined their
authority and aflllkaled to a higher Court.
leY, it will be remembered, had buried
child on a Sunday, and for this sa-
cirried duty he was denied Church privileges.
111,1F-' People to, a man joined with him against
bong priestly trauny, and numerous subscrip-
ehns helve been raised in his behalf. The mer-
v_ae.ts on the Royal Exchange at Glasgow, on
aneelciding the account, held a meeting on the spot,
lnarl:1 a few minutes subscribed 51. for ey, to
their hatred of such wanton oppression.

FINE ARTS.

with glittering spars, produce a very
itre-„,-s:111g and striking effect. At the further ex-
tran

Ban is is proposed to erect on the Goodwin

help trivd
that the spectator, witka very slight

the fancy, might actually imagine that
,Was hating beyond a real, natural cavern—
openenas in the Isle of Wight—right upon the
sea, with the light•rhouse in the distance,
...ourid which the waves are dashing in a truly life-
like style. The artful management of the lights
greatly assists the force of this illusion. The Cos-
niorarnic Views are numerous, well chosen, and
'Nell contrasted, so as to afford the greatest
. possible entertainment and variety. They run
along both sides of the Cave; and among them,
isa
in the middle distance, and is seen to the tit-
lost advantage in all its grand proportions.
1-4L-PParently the sketch is taken from the top of
the Long Walk, and in the fore-ground are seen
aeveral sunny forest-glades, studded with troops
for deer. Nothing can be more accurate than
this clever sketch, which wears the strictest sem-
,.
,h3ance of reality, and will be instantly recognised
by gll who have seen the original. The View of
Consontinople is remarkable for the vivid glow
and warcrith of the colouring. That irregular and
Somewhat fantastic structure, the Seraglio, is, of
"otirse, a Co. ASOCLIOUS object in this sketch. Ca-
,iais by Moonl,;0-ht contrasts forcibly with the pre-
ceding
ing View,
moon firigl if has all the still, cold, lifeless
400 k ofthe 1' ` hour. The Capture of
Arnoy is full of spirit mid animation, and great
pains seem to have been taken to preserve cor-
rectness of locality. The batteries are of prodi-
gious strength And massiveness, and the British
ships, which are pouring in incessant broadsides
On them, float upon the restless, heaving waters
with every appearance of reality. The Deluge
is from an original design by Martin, and is a
very fair imitation of his yeculiar manner. There
are several other Cosmoramic Views—especially
cue of the Thames Tunnel, in which a long reach
of perspective is handled with singular adroitness
--but the above are the most felicitous in point
Of execution. We have little doubt that the
Zxhibition will be an attractive one, for no ex-
pense seems to have been spared in the endea-
vour to furnish amusement. The rooms which
are devoted to the purposes of the Bazaar, are
',scarcely less worthy of a visit, for they are fitted
'up with singular tact and elegance/ are orna-
mented with handsome chandeliers, and are be-
sides of very imposing dimensions. I,,deed the
whole building, whether as regards its iati tior or
exterior, is one of the handsomest of its kin 4 in
London.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

The draft of the Address to the Chamber of Peers, in
answer to the Speech from the Throne, was read in the
Chamber on Tuesday. Several Members of the French
Cabinet were present. It is a mere echo of. the Speech,
interspersed with a few fulsome compliments to the King,
at the expense of truth and modesty. -
The Prince de la Moskwa, son of Marshal Ney,
speaking upon the Address, made a violent attack upon
England, whom he accused of having always been the
enemy of France. We freely acknowledge that the
Prince personally has but too much cause to entertain no
kindly feeling towards this country. He 'opposed the
Address.

The Marquis de Boissy was the second orator on Tues-
day. Like a schoolboy with his theme he spread out
his manuscript, and read more shameful libels out of
it in a quarter of an hour than we have met with in the
Journal du Potpie for five years. He had the insolence
to denounce the Regent of Spain as a traitor and an
executioner ; he branded the Public Press as blasphe-
mous and immoral ; and he demanded the establishment
of a social despolism for the repression of all freedom of
opinion. M. Guizot had the good taste to insist upon
a withdrawal of the offensive epithets applied to the Re-
gent of Spain, but not a voice was lifted up in condem-
nation of the cowardly libeller of the Press.
The National states that, although the Ministerial
Journals thought proper to deny that a serious battle
had taken place between 'some regiments belonging to
the garrison of Paris, it appears from a return of the
wounded remaining in the hospital of the Gros-Caillon
on the 9th inst., that the 11th Regiment of the Line had
17 wounded, the 19th Regiment 13, the 59th Regiment
21, the 2d Light Infantry 11, the 22d Light Infantry 9,
the 3d Lancers 9, the 3d Artillery 3, Invalids 3, sun-
dry others 7—total 93.

The consumption of butcher's meat in Paris, for the
year 1841, amounted to 69,164 oxen, 22,050 cows, 66,845
calves, and 432,657 sheep; being a diminution, as com •
pared with the year 1840, of 2,405 oxen, 4,954 calves,
and an increase of 1,129 cows, and 117 sheep. This
diminution represents 2,000,0001 b. weight of meat, or a
little more than 2 per cent. on the consumption compared
with the year 1840 ; or, in other words, the annual
consumption of a town of 20,000 inhabitants. This
diminution shows the dreadful condition of the working
classes in Paris; for it is to be borne in mind that up-
wards of 6,000 labourers from the provinces were during
the greater part of the last year employed upon the for-
tifications.

La Presse states, that the police, having received infor-
mation that a manufactory of forged English and Prus-
sian bank notes was at full work in Paris, surrounded a
house at Passy on Monday where it was suspected the
persons resided who were occupied in this fraudulent
pursuit. The printing press used in fabricating those
notes was discovered, together with a number of forged
bank-notes.

The Soho steam-boat, which arrived at Antwerp on
Sunday, had on board Mr. Charles Brindle, in the ser-
vice of the Court at Windsor, who was the bearer of
despatches for the Belgian Government.
Lord Westmoreland, the Ambassador of the Queen of
Great Britain at the Court of Berlin, accompanied by his
son, Lord Burghersh, arrived at Brussels on Alonday, and
after having visited the curiosities of that city, proceeded
on their way to London.
