No wonder that her cheeks disclose,
A blush so crimson, and a skin so fair;
England his lent bee loveliest rose,
To bleed with France's lilies there!

The 22d ultimo, the Archbishop of CANDRAY,
enmpanied by the Sous-Prefect, the President of the Civil Tribu-
nal, the Mayor of the town, the King's Lieutenant, and many per-
sons of consequence, attended the ceremony of exhuming the re-
mains of the immortal Feireunt' and placing the body in a leaden
coffin, which was deposited in the vault under a monument lately
erected to his memory. A silver medal was placed in the coffin by
the Mayor, Monsieur Burma Hoven, with the Arms of the
Town, bearing the ciste of 1525. A considerable sum was sub-
scribed towards this worthy undertaking by the British Often,
while they were in garrison in the town, in 151 a.
Letter from Darmstadt announce that the plague
make, dreadful ravages in Wallachia arid Moldavia, and
from the intelligence received from Constantinople, the
Turks had made nes preparations against the Greeks.
A Vienna Journal mentions a terrible conflagration
as having occurred at the market Village of Assels. in
Hungary, by which two hundred and fifty houses were
utterly destroyed.
An accident,likely to have been attended with serious
consequences, on Thursday last bee' Lord Ftrzttor
Limnos, second son of his Grace the Duke of Rtcn-
mono, who is about five years of age; he was running
on the beach, at Brighton, under the care of a servant,
When he fell with so much violence as to force a small
flint, about the size of a cherry stone, into his forehead.
Surgical aid was immediately procured, and the stone
being extracted, the young Nobleman is recovering.
A laughable circumstance occurred, last week at the
sale of the machinery of a factory at Batheaston, by
Mr. STAFFORD, of Bath. The auctioneer had just con.
chided the sale of au article usually Galled “ the devil,"
and WAS in the act of knocking down the lot, when
" the devil," and the whole of the company, automating
to nearly sixty persons, were suddenly precipitated to
the " shades below," leaving the anchoseer and his
clerk hanging by the wheel of a piece of the machi-
nery. Fortunately, however, no serious injury occurred
to any person.
Last week a woman, who resided near Wedmore, was
taken before J. BA R 'tow, Esq.* Mllistrate of the county,
charged with having stolen cider froth a neighbouring
farmer. During her examination, the woman wished
that GOD would never suffer her to speak again, or let
her go home to her family, if she was guilty. The
words were scarcely articulated when she fell to the
pound speechless l She was immediately conveyed to
the inn, where she has since continued in a most dread-
ful state.—Bath Chroxide.

The Amelia, arrived at Liverpool from New Orleans,
lost both her,Captain and mate during the passage.
When off the Florida Reef, some dolphins were caught,
one of which was cooked, and served up at table, with-
out the cook having taken the precaution to test the
presence of poison in the fish, by dipping a silver spoon
in the water in which it was boiled. Of this fish the
Captain, the mate, and a passenger partook. They
were immediately afterwards seized with violent and
excruciating pains in the stomach. As soon as they
discovered the cause of their illness, they took emetics
and powerful purgatives. The passenger, Mr. Geoaoe
Drum of New Orleans, was so fortunate as to recover
from the effects of the poison ; but both the Captain and
tite mate, we lament to state, fell victims to the care-
lessness of the cook. It is a well-known fact, that the
dolphin, when caught on some of the banks or reefs of
the West Indies, is frequently poisonous if eaten—just
as muscles are sometimes poisonous when.taken on cer-
tain places. The presence of the poison, we have heard
it stated, may be ascertained by dipping a silver spoon
into the water in which the fish is boiled. If it disco-
lours it, it is a proof that the fish is poisonous, and con-
sequently unfit for' the food of man.
Cow tti A CHINA Snov.—Saturday a cow bolted into
the shop of an extensive china waiehouse in Exeter, de-
liberately walking about amongst the multitude of
brittle ware by which she was surrounded, and coolly
walking out again, without injuring an article.
A few years since the Proprietor of Vauxhall Gardens
lost his celebrated carver of hams, when he advertised
for a new carver in that department of harmless ana-
intriy. One of notoriety applied, when the worthy Pro-
prietor asked him how many acres he could cover with
on: fine ham ? upon which he replied, " he did not
stand upon an acre or two more or less, but could cover
the whole of his gardens with one ham; upon which
he Was instantly hired, and told he was the vet), fellow
for that establishment, and to cut Awn, for the benefit
ci the concern and mankind at late.
