Even the gentry in Sweden are discontented and cpite
out of their element without brandy ; especially it they
have it not with their whet bef ne dinner.

A French paper relates the following trait of royal
courage. It is by such trifling as this that the admi-
ration of the Parisians for their future Monarch is esti-
ted On the Sd of thi, month the Duke de Bordeaux
visited the elephants in the King's garden; the Comae
proposed that one tithe young companions of the 11, ince
should mount one of these animals, and on the refusal
of the intimidated child, the juke de Bordeaus ex-
claimed to his governor, 1 should like to mount it
very much indeed.' The Baron de Damas, who never
allows an opportunity to escape that can develope or
encourage the proper feelin.l of his royal pupil, poi
his permission. The Cornae then made the elephant
go down on his knees while the Prince mounted him,
who kept his seat without assistance, and made several
turas round the enclosure, to the great admiration of
the numerous spectators."
A lady and her servant boy were recently tried at
the Assizes at Nantes, for the murder of a young girl,
aged 16, the daughter of a farmer, who resided nest
door to her. It appeared that the lady had given the
boy a loaded fowling-piece, and charged him to fire it
any one whom he saw approach the vines in her gar-
den. At about ten o'ckck on the evening of the 16th
of September last, the deceased and her sister were
walking in their father's grounds, and approached the
female prisoner's garden, when'the deceased remarked
that she would get a bunch of grapes. The boy, who
was .near, overheard this, and on her approach fired and
killed her on the spot. The cries of the sister brought
some persons to the spot. and on-the boy being told of
what he had done, he replied, de SLi Much the worse for
her." The Jury, however, after great deliberation, on
taking all the circumstances of the case ism costidets-
tion, acquitted both priaonert.

RUINS OF CLIEFDEN, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE.

+-

The admirers of the beauties of nature and romantic
saner, wiM be glad to learn, that the present pro-
prietor of this moat enchanting and magnificent
domain, Sin George Warrender, has given instructions
for the erection of a superb edifice on the site on which
the ruins of Chefdeu now stand, the fist stone having
been already laid for that purpose. It is impossible to
conceive a more magnificent view than that which pre-
seats itself from the terrace of Cliefden, tt e rive; Thaw es
winding itself in all its moat playful anti fantastic
forms around the woods which environ this noble estate,
the hanging woods reaching down to the very edge
of the river, whit the extensive coup doll of Windsor
Castle. and of the surrounding count, y, forms a pano-
rama unlimited in its extent and unparalleled for its
beauty. This unique propeny was rely recently in the
posse,sion of Viscount Kit kwall, grandson of and heir
to the Countess of Orkney, by whom it was sold to Sir
George Warrender, for a sum far beneath Ls value, the
Baronet having purchased it at a public auction.—
Strange to say, Cliefden remained for a long period
undisposed of, no private offer having been made for
it. Lord Kirkwall lives at Taplow Cour, about two
miles from Clietden, and his Err unds join Sir Genrge
Wanender's. Cliefden Spring is :tell the property of
Lord Kiikwall, and it is not less celebrated for its o-
mantic locale than for the festivities d which it has so
frequently been the scene, and still is, during the sum-
mer mop ths. In this lovely spot has our Jeweled and
ever memorable Sose. eign George the Third frequently
dined, and partaken of the hospitalities of the Marquis
of Thomond, who was at that time the proprietor air.
, Queen Chad& te, and every other member of the Royal
Family, were also much attached to this place, and
frequently made aquatic excursions to it. On these
occasions the Royal standard was always erected on the
lawn in front of the Spring by the Noble Alarquir, in
compliment to his illustrious guests, and a band of
magic provided. The Marquis of Thomism' was a fine
specimen of the Old School, both in his dress and man-
ners, and died at the advanced age of 85, in crisse•
titmice of a fall from his horse in Grosvenor-square.
The Mgquis was not less distinguished by his high rank
than for his princely hospitality and the many amiable
virtues which adorned his character.
