Extract of a private letter from Paris, dated May:
The Lady of General Gourgaud died lately, in
child:red, at Paris. She was an amiable and interest-
ing young lady, and is universally regretted, having
been considered the grace and ornament of every so-
ciety distinguished by her presence. She was the
laughter of M. %Hiker, the celebrated Member of
the Constitutional Assembly, who still firmly adheres
to the liberal principles which procured him the high
consideration he-then enjoyed, and, unlike many
'others, has never sought to throw a veil over the par t
he acted sous C Empire, by paying his court to Louis
the Eighteenth. 'she birth of a son to General Gour-
gaud has :;.;iven rise to what the French call une scene
fret piquante. The General presented himself to the
Chief Magistrate of his quarter, according to law,
for the purpose of registering the birth of his child.
Ile was required to give his own name and civil rank,
and the name he had given to his son. lie answered,
Jly name is Baron Gourgaud, late Aide-de-camp to
the Emperor Napolcon."flie Clerk said he could not
hsert such a designation in the register. The Baron
replied, that it was the only civil rank he held ; he had
rn other. The Clerk was therefore obliged to insert
i:. He next asked the Christian and Surname of the
child; to which the General answered, I call him
Sopoleon de St. Helene Jerome Marie Louise,' Scc.-
This gave rise to fresh scruples on the part of the
clerk, who declared that he dared not register such
a selection of names. The Baron said, he was cer-
t.inly at liberty to give such names as he thought
proper to his own child, without consulting the pre-
judices of any person ; and lie would not have his son
called by any other names than those which he had
chosen for him. Tue Deputy Mayor, and then the
Mayor, were sent for, in succession, upon this auk-
ward occasion ; but the Baron reftising to listen to
any remonstrance, or to assent to any concessiou on
this point, they were obliged to yield to his desire,
and register the birth of the child in the manner
vhich he had prescribed. • The next day the Baron
sett to the office of the Mayor, to procure a copy of
the register, but it was refused him by order of a
higher authority; and, in consequence of the refusal,
the Baron has instituted a legal proceeding against
the Mayor. This is the first instance of a refusal of a
copy of the register of a child's birth."—British Press.
Saturday, judgment was given by the Court of
Correctional Police, in Paris, in the case of M. KCECII-
LIN, the Deputy, who was prosecuted for a pamphlet
published last summer, giving an account of the
transactions in Colmar, which ended in the arrest of
Colonel Caron. The onourable Deputy has since
Witten an additional Memoir, containing proofs of
his former statement. He offered, at the tribune of
the Chamber of Deputies, to bring 2,000 witnesses to
establish upon oath the truth of his allegations against
the civil and military authorities of the department,
provided a Committee were appointed to conduct
the inquiry, and receive their depositions. He made
the same offer to the Court of Correctional Police,
"here his trial came on, after six cases of fraud and
Petty larceny, and where he was placed on the same
bench with the vilest of mankind. The Court has
condemned M. KCECULIN to six months' imprison-
ment, and a fine of 3,000 francs. The Hon. Mem-
ber Was accompanied by a great nun per of his col-
leagues of the left side.

Last Sunday week, at the Waen Wen Lime Rocks,
near Llanymyneck, the inhabitants of the neighbour-
hood were surpri,ed to find that, during the preceding
nlght, several thousand tons of limestone had parted
en muse from the main rock, and moved four or five
yards forward, pushing the earth before it with tre-
n.endous force, leaving a horrid chasm behind.
