A very short time ago a Clergyman in the west of

A separation is about to take place in high life be-
tween a Noble Lord and his Lady who have recently en-
tered into the matrimonial state. The unhappy differ-
ence is said to have arisen from the discovery of a letter
received by one of the parties from an ertantorata, who
likewise is of titled distinction, and united by Hymen's
bands to a supposed favourite lover. The discovery al-
luded to has produced a chain of evidence which, it is
said, cannot be controverted.
Miss FANNY Ktmai.z.—Another interesting inci-
dent occurred the night before last, at Covent Garden
Theatre, besides the presence of Mrs. SIDDONS to Wit-
ness the performance of Juliet by her niece. The actors
and actresses took the opportunity of presenting her with
a beautiful chased gold bracelet, studded with jewels ; and
with an inscription stating, that it was given as a slight
token of the obligation she had conferred upon them, by
coming forward at a time when, but for her, probably, the
Theatre midi not have opened; or, if opened, could not
long have estetinued so. Miss F. KEMBLE received the
gIR very phiefully and thankfully, as a proof of the kind
tooling she had inspired, rather than as a merited tes-
timony of her excellence in the only part in which she
bas appeared. It is to be regretted that Mrs. SIDDONS
did not shew herself on the night when she attended; for
she thus totally prevented the enthusiastic expression of
aithadon which must have followed the knowledge that
she was present.
So strong is the propensity of the Russians to jm-
limey, that they are guilty of the lowest offences on that
account. The observation may appear trivial, but an or-
dinary Russian will be displeased if one even endeavours
to gain the goodwill of his dog. I affronted the com-
mandant of this town (Yakutsk) very highly, by per-
mitting his dog to walk with me one afternoon. He
expostulated with me very seriously about it. This
is not the only instance. I live with a young
Russian officer, with whom I came from Irkusk ; no cir-
cumstance has ever interrupted the harmony between us,
but his dogs. They have done it twice. A pretty little puppy
he has, came to me one day, and jumped on my knee ;
I patted his head and gave him some bread. The man
flew at the dog in the utmost rage, and gave him a
blow which broke his leg. The lesson I gave him on
the occasion has almost cured him.—Life of Ledyard.
MAHMOUD 11.—The Sultan has only one son leg,
Abdul Medshid, born April 20, 1823, who is the pre-
sumptive heir. The number of his daughters is consi-
derable. He has seven lawful consorts and many
concubines. If his family should become extinct, his
throne will be claimed by the descendants of the late
Tartarian Khans of the Crimea, and the family of
Choral' whicklikswise is descended from the famous
Gengis Khan of Tartary.
