Her Royal Highness the Duchess de Berri arrived
at Calais yesterday. The most expensive and extensite
preparations had been previously made for her
Royal Highness's reception, by the civil and military
authorities of that place ; amongst the former is Our
venerable Mayor, who had previously intimated that
it was expected the respectable inhabitants should make
the usual demonstrations of loyalty, by decorating the
exterior of their houses, exhibiting branches of laurel,
and the ordinary number of white flags. The Hotel
de Ville, of course, cut the most conspicuous figure,
in point of" costly expenditure. Upon the arrival of
her Royal Highness, about five o'clock, the Pcntpiers,
or volunteers of the place, were drawn out under arm;.
At seven n'clock her Royal Highness proceeded to the
Hotel de Ville, where a sumptuous dinner was provided.
His Britannic Majesty's Consul, Mr. Marshall, was, at
the particular request of her Royal Highness, present
on the occasion. Her Royal Highness subsequently
attended the theatre, which had been most tastefully
fitted up for a public ball.
This morning her Royal Highness, after having

The firm of John White and Co. patent chain cable
manufacturers at Sunderland, has stopped payment,
The weide amount of the firm's debts we have heard
stated at 70,0001. The trade they carries on, which
was immense, was entirely by barter. A great num-
ber of men will be thrown out of employment by this
failure.—Tyne Aleremry.

Imeosruag.—A seemingly feeble mendicant, at the
door of the Hammerman's Inn, Dundee, lately received
with an ill grace. a penny bestowed on him by a passing
stranger. " You should give me a sixpence," said the
beggar, looking disdainfully on the penny. " Well,
give me back the penny." It was done, and the
stranger having put it into his pocket, upbraided the
avaricious beggar for his insolence. The feeble beggar
was quickly transformed into a robust and powerful
I man. who aimed a blow at the stranger, which was only
avoided by a precipitate retreat into the inn. The
waiters made their appearance, and were also obliged to
fly from the furious assailant, and to shut the doers
to prevent him entering. Soon after the waiters armed
themselves, and having seivd the fellow, had him
lodged in the Police cells.

A Reverend Clergyman, not twenty miles from
Perth, while lately on a course of visits to the mem-
bers of his congregation, to make shorter work of ir,
called a few of those who lived in the vicinity of one
another into one house. Before proceeding to exhorta-
tion, he exercised his vocation as a catechist, and
among other questions he put the following to old
Adam —, one of his flock:—" Are all transgressions
equally heinous, Adam ?" 44 No," replied Adam, a
repeated the common answer to the question. 44 Very
well, Adam, ye can, nae doubt, 'point out some o' that
sins that are mair heinous—if )e can, name the 1)."
—" The sins o' Ministers and Magistrates," rejoined
Adam. The Clergyman propounJed no mute que)-
tions.—Petth Courier.

The Monument, when first built, was used as an ob-
servatory, but was abandoned as such on account of
its vibrations preventing the nicety recoiled ; this oc-
casioned a report that it was unsafe...-an idea that in
some degree exists to this day. But its scientific con-
struction may bid defiance to all attacks save those of
lightning (to which its gallery might serve as A con-
ductor) or an earthquake, for centuries to copse.
Wednesday last a Gentleman of the name of Bell,
residing at the Gloucester Hotel, Btighton, sent a pair of
trowsers to a laundress, of the name of Ptekham, re-
sidin* at No. 16, Richmond-buildings, for the purpose
of being washed, incautiously cimitting to examine the
pockets, which contained a Bank of England rote of
501. and also one for 101. The trowscrs v ere delivered
by Mrs. Peckham to a person named Warrenner, who
worked for her; and who, finding the notes, car tied
them home to her husband. On inquiry being made,

bottom of a chair. They both stand committed to
