A letter has been received at Penitence from Terceira,
stating the safe arrival there of the Countess FILL♦
FLOII, who, as will be recollected, sailed from Ostend
some time back for the purpose of joining her husband.
It will be matter of congratulation to every generous
mind that this heroic woman has succeeded in her inten-
tion, and escaped all the danger of detention by the
blockading squadron, front which she must have expected,
under all circumstances, every possible indignity. She

carried with her some troops and arms, part in tie same,
part in another vessel ; and the whole, to the number of
300, have safely effected a landing. Another vessel,
with an equal number, is on the voyage to Terceira, and
this reinforcement will increase the strength of the gar-
rison to an effective force of 5,000 men, all well supplied
with every requisite, and animated by the best spirit.
The Duke of CIIOISZUL lately brought an action
against tho King's Household, claiming the right to a
private hex in the Theatre Feydeau. During the progress
Of the suit M. Ax:, the President of the Court, was seen
atone of the Royal Theatres, in a box reserved for the
civil servants of the Crown, and the Duke de Citolsttn.
challenged him as unfit to judge the case—his presence
at the theatre, it being contended, coming within the
meaning of the law which dechirod that a Judge who has
either eaten or drank with either party to a suit, or re-
ceived any present, ought to absent himself from the trial.
The Court disallowed the challenge, in consequence of
the neglect of a point of form, and decided against the
Duke's claim to a box.

Captain Wima, Chief Magistrate of Police in the
County Tipperary, has retired from the establishment on
a pension of £6OO a year.
The greatest alarm is now prevailing amongst the oS-
core employed in the Long-room of the Customhouse. It
is reported that the system of which these gentlemen
were hitherto allowed to receive certain pretty extensive
fees and perquisites, is to be for ever abolished on the stb
of July next. This reform, it is said, will materially affect
the income of from 40 to 50 individuals, especially the
cocket-writers, some of whom have only 601. salary, but
whose fees amount to, from 3,0001. to 4,0001. each. Upon
(this modus aegairendi, which has been tolerated for ages,
they look as their freehold, as an Act of Parliament allows
them to receive ss. for each cocket, and they consider
the hardship of their case still greater, as no complaint
on the part of the public has been made to call for such a
measure. If common report is to be believed, Mr.
DEAN, the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners,
has all the credit of the suggestion ; that gentleman, who
is at the head of the Customs, has a salary of only
2,0001. and is, therefore, supposed to feel some jealousy
at his inferiors, men in infinitely less responsible situa-
tions, enjoying double his income.—Morning Herald.
