MR. BOIVRING.

Letters from Boulogne of Tuesday last state, that .
Mr. &wawa was still in confinement there. He
had undergone an examination of five hours in dura-
tion by the Procureur du Roi, when the letters, of\
which he was the bearer, were exhij)ited to him, the
seals bract), and the contents, notwithstanding his
objecting, read in his presence. The contents of the
letters were not sufficient to justify his detention, not
being of an offensive tendency. The examinations
were strictly private, Mr. Bo*nr NG not being allowed
the assistance of a legal adviser, or even an interpre-
ter. The interference of the British Consul to obtain
those objects was of no avail. Further examinations
of him are expected, but no charge having been
made, it is impossible to anticipate what effect the
French Government expect to produce. Mr. Bow-
saw is obliged to pay at an exosbitant rate for the
few comforts he can enjoy. •
Among the papers sei-zed by the French police at
the time Mr. Bosvnfivo was arrested, allusion has
often been made to some dispatches belonging to the
Portuguese Embassy, of which that Gentlemap,w-ak,
the bearer. These dispatches, with the contents of
which Mr. BOWRING was altogether unacquainted,
together with the rest of his papers, were sent up to
Paris; and we-now understand that, notwithstanding
the immediate and reiterated applications of the Por-
tuguese Ambassador on the spot to M. DE VJLLELE,
to which no answer was given, they we, e opened in
the meantime by M. PEYRONNET. At the expiration
of about a fortnight, as we learn by private letters
from rads, the dispatches were forwarded by the
‘French Government to their of iginal destination, with
broken seals. To the astonishment of the French
Minister, instead, however, of expected treasonable
plots and conspiracies, he found only in the package
an outline of the proceedings of the Club of the Pa-
villon :Nana", the head-quarters of the Ultra French
party, with M. PSYRONNET at their head, the most
decided organ and active engine of them all.

A Correspondent, who signs his letter u A Caledo-
nian," calls our attention tothe gross violation of the
Sabbath in the MetropOlis, lxy butchers in several of
the markets keeping their• shops open during Divine,
Service—the baiting of bulls in the environs of Lon-
don is anothervice of which he complains , and he
contrasts the solemn observance of the Sabbath in
Scotland, which particularly attracted the notice of
his MAszary, with the wanton violation of it in Lon-
don and its immediate vicinity.
Tuesday morning an occurrence of an awful descrip-
tion happened at Clifton. To repair a pump over a
deep well, which had not been used f•r 4.0 years, be-
hind a house near the church, several persons, in-
cluding the master of the house, assembled, when
one of them placing his hand on the stone ,trough
connected with the pump, the ground gave way,
and he was precipitated a depth of 100 feet, together
with the trough, the pump, and a mass of stones and
rubbish. Two others would have shared the same
fate, but in falling, saved themselves by laying hold
on some things near; one of them being left suspended
to a stay-nail, of which he had the presence of mind',
to avail himself. On ropes being provided) the ques
tion was who should go down to bring up the poor
fellow whq had fall in in. Two volunteered, and had,
the ropes affixed to their bodie., when they suggested'
the propriety of first ascertaining the state of the at-
mosphere in the well. A lighted candle being let
down, it had scarcely descended 20 feet before it
was extinguished by the foul air, which would Idler-
tainly have extinguished the spark of life, had the
first intention of these humane ♦olunteers been car-
, ried into effect. When at last the body of the man
was brought up, which was effected by a grappling
iron, his head was found completely open, and the
brains displaced. The poor fellow was abcfut twenty
' years of age, and a servant at the house.

31 USSELBURG 11.

Tuesday afterrroon, a match for 20 guineas, thrice round the
Course at Musselburgh, was decided between Mr. Glthsviile's
brown mare Eclipse, and Mr. Dick's brown horse Runaway,
both rode by their owners. The mare was to allow the horse a
distance, and beat him: Before starting two to one in favour f
the horse. During the first and second round the mare was
getting away in fine style from the horse, and seemed likely to
double distance hitn. Betting ten to one in favour of the mere.
On entering upon the third round. the mare bolted opposite the
stand, when the horse came op close to her—fifty to one in favour
of the horse—but getting again upon the Course, the mare went
off in such style, that she beat the h. r e by a distance of 200
yards. There was considerable betting on this thatch.
