Who would ever have drea'nt that or all per-
sons in the world Mr. VESEY FITZGE!CALD was doomed to
touch the Catholic Rent? But let those who doubt it
look sharp, and we suspect they will find that the piece o'
plAte with which the Right Hon. Gentleman is to be com-
plimented, for not opposing Mr. O'CoNNELL this time at
Clare, will come out of the same fund which was to have
defrayed the expenses of the expected contest.—Morning
Herald.

Some of the Catholic Priests have hit upoi

a happy expedient for putting a stop to litigation among
their flecks—viz. by taking a dislike to the Assistant Bar-
rister ; and, to spite him, recommended harmony and
mutual forgiveness to the expected litigants. One would
almost wish judicial characters unpopular every where, if
such were to be the result.—Morning Paper.
ANECDOTE OF MADAME ROLAND.-" I
was struck," says Madame Ror.Awn, " with the terror
with which ROBESPIERRE seemed penetrated on the day of
the KING'S flight to Varennes; he appeared to me then an
honourable man, whose bad language and tiresome elocu-
tion I pardoned in favour of his principles. I found him
in the afternoon at PETION'S, where he remarked, with
much anxiety, that the Royal Family would not have taken
this step without having in Paris a party who would con-
trive there a St. Bartholomew of the patriots, and that he

did not expect to be alive more than 24 hours. PETION
and BRISSOT said th tt the public mind ought to be pre
pared for republicanism. ROBESPIERR, in his sneering
manner, biting his nails, asked what a republic meant?
I know no terror which can be compared with ROBES-
rIERRE in these circumstances. We were really uneasy
on his account; ROLAND and I went to his house au fond
du Marais, but he had already quitted his residence."—

LANARK, JULY 11.—On Friday last, as a
marriage party were passing through Dublin, a clachan in
this neighbourhood tenanted almost exclusively by Irish-
men, sonic .of these inconsiderate beings, reckless of the
consequences, discharged a musket, from the effects o!
which the bride had a narrow escape.—Being only a few
yards from the place where the fellow stood, the wadding
alighted among her head.dress, which was instantaneously
in a blaze. The whole of the expensive finery was totally
destroyed, and her hair a good deal singed, before it could
be extinguished ; but this was not all, the poor woman
swooned away from the alarm, and the party were in no
small consternation far her safety. Fortunately no other
injury was sustained. We hope the Procurator Fiscal will
not only cause•the man to make good her loss, but punish
him besides, to deter others from such daring and wanton
acts of incivility.— Glasgow Free Press:
An extraordinary story told in Stamford by a
Mr. JAMES WINDETT, traveller for Messrs. BUGG and
Sores, brewers and bankers, of Spalding,- excited much
interest on Friday morning last. It was to the effect
that, at about nine o'clock on the previous night, whilst
travelling from Grantham in his gig, he was attacked by
two men, near the Bull inn on Witham Common, and
robbed of 5741. in bank notes and cash, which he bad col-
lected for his employers. In corroboration of his story of
a violent attack having been made • upon him, Air. Wirt-
Darr exhibited his .hat, through which he stated that a
ball from a pistol fired by one of the highwaymen had
passed; and in the hat there certainly were, near the
upper angle of the crown, such marks as might have been
roduced by a ball from a pistol passing obliquely
through the felt. Very considerable doubts of the
truth of the story, however, were entertained by several
persons ; and on the arrival of one of the tiessrs. BUGG
in Stamford on Friday forenoon, WINDETT.was given in
charge of a police officer (ABEL BLADES), to whom, after
a short interval, he confessed the falsehood of his talc of
having been robbed, and acknowledged that he had mis-applied many SUMS which he had collected for his em-
ployers, intending to account for the whole under the Inv-
tence which be had set, up on his arrival at Stamford.
158/., he stated, he had inclosed in a parcel and left at a
• public-house at Bourn : thither, therefore the active offi-
cer immediately went, and foitunately recovered the par-
cel containing that exact sum, which, with 571. Is. that
he took from WI NDETT'S person, he restored to Messrs
Boca. Tile parties left Stamford in the course of the
day ; and from an advertisement which appears in our
present paper, it seems that it is not intended to prosecute
WIN OETT for what has occurred, but merely to caution the
public against settling any further accounts with him !
