the importation of French gloves to have been 2,7•o4esens. In
November. 1827. there were 4,714 dozens imported ; scuba the
Return shows a falling off in the import to less than OM half its
amount. This is a sufficient answer to the apprehensions of the
destruction of the glove trade by the inspettadon from abroad; for
gloves are among the articles which at the present rate of duty it is
confessedly am worth while to smog*.

A French Paper gives an account of the death of a
miser; the Marquis of in whose apartments. aft •r
his decease, were found 8,500,000 francs (or.140,000f.)
It is said that he has no rel.tiens within the 12th degree,
and his treasure has, in consequence, been lodged is
the Caisse des Coasignailines till his heirs establish their
claims. Had there been no heir in the 12th degree, the
sum would have fallen to the State. The old miser was
so anxious to be reckoned poor, that on one occasion,
when he dropped some pieces of gold in descending the
staircase, and when the porter who had picked them up
offered to re tote them, he refused them, denied that
they were his, and declared that be never had any gold.
