ENCOURAGEMENT TO MEN OF GENIUS BY THE PRE-
SENT GOVERNMENT.—We have the pleasure of an-
nouncing to the friends of the late Mr. .Samuel
Crompton, the ingenious inventor of the spinning
machine, called the mule, that the Rev. Gilmour Ro-
binson, of Tockholes, has received, during the past
week, a communication from the Right Hon. Lord
Stanley, to the effect that Sir Robert Peel had re-
commended that a grant from the " Royal Bounty
Fund," of the amount of 2001., should be immediately
paid to the Rev. Gilmour Robinson, to be equally
divided between Mr. George Crompton, of Fearn-
burst, in Lower Darwen, and his brother and sister,
of Bolton, children of the above-mentioned Mr. Samuel
Crompton. This is a well-timed and justly merited
reward !—Blackburn Standard.

As a patrol of the National Guards were assing
on Wednesday night, says the Droit, near the Chateau
d'Eu, a young woman, whose appearance announced
the greatest disorder, rushed into the midst of the sob.
diers, and; in English, implored protection. The
officer, who understood the language, interrogated her
and by degrees drew from her the following account :
" She was," she said, " a native of London, where she
had always resided until a few days ago. Her father,
having been unfortunate in business, she was obliged
to try to earn her own living as companion to a lady,
and, to effect this, inserted advertisements in some of
the London papers. They produced an offer from a
Frenchman of gentlemanly appearance to take her to
Paris, where such a situation as she sought awaited
her. He offered her money to, defray the expenses
of the journey, which she was to return out of
her salary. She accepted the proposition, deem-
ing it an exceedingly advantageous one, and
they set out. She arrived that morning at
Paris, and was taken by her travelling companion
to a house, where they were very well received, as
11ell as, from her ignorance of the French, she could
form a judgment. As she was greatly fatigued, she
retired to rest at an early hour, and soon fell asleep.
She was roused up some time after by bursts of
laughter, tge -shock of glasses, and the fall of bottles.
iihe jumped out of bed, and, after having dressed her-
self in the dark, felt her way to the saloon whence the
noise proceeded. There seven or eight young women,
and as many men, were collected round a table, lit up
only by the flames of an immense bowl of punch! She
felt at once that she was in an improper house, and
her first idea was to make her escape. Luckily, the
whole party were so drunk, that she had no difficulty
in getting away,' and she had been wandering about
the streets for the last hour." When taken before the
commissary of police she persisted in the same state-
ment, but coull not give any precise information as to
the Louse from which she had escaped. The police are
busily engaged in tly:ng to discover where it is
situated.—Galipzani.
