The Adjutant was next placed in it, and cirried to his quartets

St. Paul's Cathedral has for some time past pre-
sented a very extraordinary appearance, owing to the
scaffolding erected around the top of it, and which
is nose nearly completed ; it is of a singular construc-
tion, and extends from the iron gallery upwards to
the eight of ten feet above the cross. The intention
is to take the ball and cross down, which are to be
entirely new. It is an undertaking of magnitude, aid
we trust v. ill be completed as easily as is anticipated.

Among the numerous travellers who have visited
Italy since the restoration, no one has been admitted
so unreservedly to inspect the interior of its social and
political machinery as Lady Mottoarr. The fidelity
of her delineations of France (most justly appreciated
on the Continent, where that country is tLe most
thoroughly known) have procured for her an intimacy
and a confidence abroad, which have been rigidly
withheld from English travellers. It k, therefore,
with much satisfaction that we notice the publication
of a Work containing the observations collected by
Lady MORGAN during her two years absence from
England.
Wednesday last, a duel was fought in Paris, be-
tween an Officer in the Cuirasiers and a respectabk
merchant, when the former was The quarrel
originated at one of the Theatres.
VA LENCI. EIINFJ.—(PI ivote Letter)," A terrible
occurrence has spread consternation throughout Ibis
town. On the 4th instant, at a quarter to seta
o'clock in the morning, a laud explosion was heard.
It was soon announced that the Lisle•gate, under
which was a powder-magazine, was on fire. Alati
instantly became general, the inhabitants precipitatell
flying in all quarters to avoid the danger. Thegar'
rison mustered under arms, and the .)layor and fli9
Assistant (M. Dinaux), and the Sub-Prefect of DeLyff
repaired to the spot without delay, and, by the 4 re'
sence, contributed to maintain order. Some bomb'
and grenades exploded from time to time. dbowt
eleven o'clock the four towers of the gate, in %ditch
were a considerable quantity of arms' gave waY.
Happily, the flames had not penetrated to the sub'
terranean magazine; from m hence, at th:s !cokes
moment, some powder was taken out, and cenve)ni
to the citadel. At the hour at which I write thy`'
the danger is over, but not the alarm. One man only
has been killed: it is thought the decea,ed is the ill'
dividual who imprudently caused the file. A 600'
sand conjectures are advanced on this point. Tbe }CO
is immense. The lead, iron, and brass formed 0
frightful torrent of buanint; lava. Of this imtnen4
. edifice, there only rem:ail:llle walls, wliich are 0';
Ipected to fall every instant. Thus a monument of
the fourteenth century, which has reiisted.sevod
