A report that Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Charles Cuyler, Bart.
commanding the 69th regiment, at Athlone, bad been shot by one
of the soldiers under his command, on Tuesday last, has been in
circulation, and has obtained very general belief. We are happy
to have it in our power to give it a complete contradiction. The
rumour had its origin from the fact of Sir Charles Cuyler having
accidentally fallen from his horse on Tuesday last, when in the
front of the regiment, which had been firing blank cartridge at the
time. Sir Charles suffered some injury front his fall, but is now
doing well.

Oil Wednesday, Major-General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, K.C.B.
proceeded from Athlone to Phdlpstown, where be inspected the
detachment of gist Fusileers, under Captain Meade, K.H. and
expressed his entire satisfaction at their cleanlinesi and efficiency.
On the following day the Major-General reviewed the main body
of the regiment at Mullingar (eight companies), at present com-
manded by Major Colin Campbell, whom he complimented in the
handsomest terms on the high state of order and discipline of the
battalion. Major Campbell is the officer, who, when a Lieutenant
in the 9th Foot, led the forlorn hope at the siege of St. Sebastian,
on which occasion every individual of that brave and self-devoted
handful of men was either killed or disabled. He was himself
severely wounded at their head, and was promoted for bi. gallant
conduct at the especial recommendation of General Lord Lynedoch.

COLLECTANEA.

It is a well-known fact, that, notwithstanding all the
eqjoterin practised by the Russian Government to secure the affec-
tion of the Finlanders, this brave people have never forgotten the
mild sway under which they lived whilst belonging to Sweden, nor
the treacherous and barbarous mode in which an overwhelming
Russian army took possession of this country, at a period of pro-
, found peace. The following anecdote will serve as an illustration :
Some years ago a deputation, consisting of some of the most in-
fluential men in Finland, was secretly sent to Stockholm to inquire
of his Swedish Majesty, " whether their countrymen might hope
to be once more restored to Sweden?" The King, highly pleased
with their patriotic feelings, but unwilling to say any thing which
might be construed into ■n hostile intention towards Russia, re-
turned the following laconic answer :—' Gentlemen, Hope is the
life of man !"

Captain Black, Captain White, and many others, with whom the

A MATRIMONIAL ADVENTURER.- -An advertise-
ment lately appeared in a certain morning paper for a lady " qua-
lified as a partner for a gentleman whose business, generally very
good. has of late very considerably increased." On inquiry it
turned out that the gentleman was neither more nor less than a
crossing-sweeper, who declared thrt should St. Switbin be propi-
I dons be should be able to ler d a good round sum to any proprietor
of fra-prdeits able to give good security. We fear many would be
glad to apply for it.
MARY-LA-BONNE SELECT VESTRY.—A numerous
meeting of the inhabitants of the pariah of Mary-la-bonne was held
yesterday at the Western Bazaar, Joseph Hume, Esq. in the chair.
Mr. Hume addressed the meeting at great length, and in the course
of his speech went over most of the topics that had been previously
adverted to at meetings held for similar purposes, namely, to adopt
suck resolutions as would enable the parishioners to exercise an
effective cootroul over the expenditure of the parish funds. Mr.
Hume particularly impressed on the meeting the necessity of per-
severance and unanimity. A string of resolutions were entered
into in terms of Mr. Hume's recommendation, one of which was
for the collection of subscriptions in the shape of rent, with a view
to render effective the resistance of the inhabitants to the con-
tinuance of the select vestry. Colonel Janes spoke in favour of
a rent, which he said bad been the means of procuring freedom
to the Catholics of Ireland.

The Trustees of the National Brazilian Mining Asso-
ciation have made their first Report respecting the proceedings of
Mr. Oxenford, relative to the purchase and working of mines. It
appears that that gentleman has entered Into partnership with
several native proprietors, and that every assistance is promised by
the public authorities. The total expenditure, Including XlO,OOO
lately drawn by Mr. Oxenford, is X 26,064 ; and the Trustees in-
timate that a further call will soon be made on the shareholders.
