THE DANGER OF TRUSTING TO ONESELF.—Had Prince
Charles (says the Chevalier Johnstone) slept during the whole
expedition, and allowed Lord George Murray to act for him
according to his own judgment, there is every reason for sup-
posing that he would have found the crown of Great Britain on
his head when be awoke.—Memoirs of Reteltion of 1745.

SEVERN N A VIGATION.—A majority of the shareholders in the
Worcester joint-scheme have refused to sanction the agreement
made by the deputation from that city a few days before, with

SOUND LEGAL ADVICE.-1 am informed from a respectable
source, that au action has been commenced, at the instance of a
very amiable young lady of a most respectable family at Cork,
for breach of promise of marriage, against John O'Connell, Esq.
M.P., who has been recently united to another young lass, with
a handsome fortune. I am further told, that, before the com-
mencement of legal proceedings, a case, with its accompanying
fee, but whereon A and B were merely substituted for the real
parties' names, was forwarded to the hon. member for Dublin,
detailing all the particulars of his own son's courtship, torreS-
pondence, describing him as " B." &c., and that the learned
gentleman never suspecting who " B" was, not only expressed
his decided opinion of the clear cause of action shown by the
fair plaintiff, A, against the defendant; but recommended, that
no time should be lost in seecking
.for damages to the amount,
as laid, of £7OOO.—Correspondent of the Morning Herald.
SUICIDE FROSt GAMBLING.—After the inquest on Mr. J•
Schmidt, who
,shdt himself on Friday, in Kensington-gardens,
Garton, a police constable, proceeded to the deceased's lodgings
Ryder's-court, Leicester-square, to take Charge of his property.
A necklace of large garnets and several valuable gold rings
were found, a beautiful diamond brooch, and a quantity of wear-
ing apparel. It appears the unfortunate man was in-duced to
commit the fatal act froni the severe losses he sustained at play.
During a residence in the house of eleven days; he must have
gambled away from £lO,OOO to £ll,OOO. Wednesday, he lost
his gold watch and chain at play, and although on Thutsday
morning, within twenty-four hours of the suicide, he received a
large sum at the counting-house of Rothschild, not a farthing
was found in his lodgings.—Mornisig Chronicle.

INSANE PENSONS.--By an act passed on the 30th March, if a
person is apprehended on suspicion of any crime which he may
be tried for, and it satisfactorily appeals that he is insane, two
magistrates may order him to be conveyed to the asylum, instead
of a prison, for trial; and two magistrates may also order any
person non, in prison for trial, who may be proved insane to be
removed from the gaol to the asylum. This will save
the process
and expense of trial of an insane offender.

SouTHkjitT NEW BATHS.—On Wednesday Morning last, the
ceremony of laying the foundation stone of a new bUilding about
to be erected by a company, under the appellatiOn of the " Vic-
toria Public Bath," took place at Southport. Within the last
two years, a great number of the large sand-hills, so numerous
on the Southport shore, haire been levelled to a great distance,
and a beautiful promenade has been fOrmed. On the southerly
end of this promenade the New Baths are being erekted. The
land has been granted to the company by Sir H. B. Hoghton
and his lady. A great objection seems to be entertained by
persons visiting Southport, an the purpose of availing themselves
of the benefits of sea bathing, to the exposed and ptiblic manner
in which they have been obliged to avail them Selves of the bene-
lits of the salt water. It is with a view of counteracting this ob-
jection that the present company has been formed, and an al-
most general opinion prevailS as to the prosperity of such an
undertaking. The building, under the architectural ability of
Mr. Clayton, will be a great ornament to the village. Long be-
fore eleven o'clock, the hour appointed for the ceremony, the
neighbburhood of the intended Site was crowded with vast nurja7
hers of ladies, consisting of all the beauty and fashion of the
place, and the visitors who ;lad arrived duringthe past week.

THE VA cog: OF A WIG.— A. Southern paper relates the
following story of an officer of the army, who having lost his
hair during so illness contracted at New Orleans, provided
himself wilts a handsome wig before starting on a late campaign
in Florida. In an engagement with the Seminoles, he was
wounded and fell to the ground, where he lay without the power
to rise. The red enemy who wounded him came up for his
scalp. The officer feigned himself dead, and breathed as low
and softly as possible. The Indian bent over him, drew his
knife, passed it fearfully and quickly around the bead of his
victim; and then with a " whoop !" bounded with his bloodless
trophy into an everglade. The officer afterwards,got back in
safety to his camp, and relates with much glee the story of the
loss of his—wig.
A BARGAIN FOR AN OLD QUEEN.-.The Dowager Queen of
Naples is said to be on the point bf marrying a Neapolitan,
only 28 years of age. As her Majesty is somewhat older, hav-
ing been born in 1789, the young man is said to have required
a large pecuniary sum to make up for the difference in their

SINGULAR FACT.—We understand that one of the brood
Mares, the property of the most noble the Marquis of West-
minster, at present located at Moor-park, was lately taken very
ill after dropping a•foal, and, strange to say, the young'un has
been adopted by a milch-cow, which renders to it all the offices
of a maternal parent.—Chester Chronicle.
HONOUR %, CHIVALRY IN THE WEST.—TWO fatal en-
counters took place at Mills' Point, on the Mississippi, in Ken-
tucky, on Friday, the 30th of March. At first, there was a
fight between Mr. Rivers, a lawyer, and Mr. Furguson, a phy-
sician, in which the latter was worsted. Shortly afterwards,
Furguson, burning with the mortification of defeat, procured a
rifle and shot Rivers dead; and, thereupon, a brother of Rivers,
armed himself with another rifle, sought Furguson out, and,
after wounding him severely with a rifle shot; rushed upon him
with a pistol, and dispatched him at once.—New York ITeiad.
WITCHCRAFT IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.—A poor
youth, in the employ of a stable-keeper at HaridcroiS, a village
near Brighton, on the London Road, having been rejected In
his love-suit by a female servant iu the village, and driven bY
disappointment into a fit of frenzy, was gravely pronounced 1?$"
the neighbours to have been bewitched by the young person in
question, and an old woman undertook his disenchantment ,for
the fee of half-a-crown! Rows of pins, needles, knives, tc&-
were accordingly stuck round the bedclOthes for the.purpose of
impaling the fair enchantress on their elfinspears, should slie
venture to approach his couch, and the farce was harried on
until some persons possessed of common sense interfered; and
had the poor fellow conveyed to a fit destination, a lunatic)
asylum.

SEIZURE OE CHURCH PROPERTY.—When I entered life it is
astonishing how general was the disposition to seiie Upon
church property. I mixed with various circles, and I could
hardly go into any company where there was not a cler-
gyman present without hearing some such measure proposed.
I am convinced that if the public feeling had not been altered
by our seeing how soon every other kind of plunder followed
the destruction of tithes in France, our clergy would by this
time have lost their property.—Life of Wilberforce.
No TEETOTALLER.—Last week, a person named Watson, e
gardener, at Newton-on-Ouse, near York, undertook, for
trifling wager, to moisten his stomach, with eight pints of ale,
in ten minutes. He absorbed the heavy in eight minutes and a
half, and then treated himself with an additional pint out of the
money he had woh. He was not prepared for this feat by a long
previous drought, having drunk pretty freely before he cora•
menced his task. After all this, be ate a hearty sapper, and
offered to do the same thing over gain if anyone would give hini
the same opportunity. The challenge, however, was declined.
ELOPEMENT.—An affair of this sort has created quite a feel-
ing of excitement in Falmouth. On Friday evening a you,eg
lady, possessing a considerable fortune independent of her re-
spectable parents, left home under the pretence of receiving
some money due to her. She did not return as soon as eipect-
ed, which induced a suspirinn-in-ber father's mind that she had
eloped with somebody, but he could not conceive whtiiia, and he
resolved to set off to Exeter in search of her. The 7Ofing lady
had walked to the outside of the town, where the guard of the
Exeter coach proved to be the Lothario in waiting, who handed
her into a chaise and drove her to Truro, returning in time to
take his place as a guard, and promising to take her on to Ele;
ter by the Coach. The father took his place on the outside 0
the coach, with WS future son-in-law as guard. On arriving et
Truro the guard (who was on his guard) exclaimed at the
after shutting the door with a slam, " A lady from Fahnouth
getting out !" The father hastened down, and, running to the
inn, exclaimed, "It is my daughter!" The cunning guhro,
called out to the coachman, " All right !" who drove on to the
town's end, where he took up the lady and conveyed her to
Eieter, where the guard was made both rich and happy on the
following morning soon after eight o'clock. About eleven{
O'clock the father arrived, but too late to prevent the union 0.
his child with what he considered a most unequal match.--
Exeter Flying Post.
RESOLUTION TO Bk SlLENT.—Madame Replier, the wife of
a law officer at Versailles, while talking in the presence of e
numerous party, dropped some remarks which were out 0,
place, though not very important. Her husband reprimanded
her before the whole company, saving, " Silence, madam, rtal
are a fool !" She lived twenty or thirty years afterwards, and
never uttered a single word, even to her children ! A pretended
theft was committed in her presence, in the hope of taking her
by suprise, but without effect, and nothing could induce her to
speak. When her consent was requisite for the marriage or
any of her children, she bowed her head, and signed the COO'
tract.—Madame Campan's Joarnal.

STATE OF THE POTTERIES.-We are sorry to learn that the
trade of the potteries is still in a very depressed state, and little
hope is entertained of a good trade, as for as America is con-
cerned, for the present year. The fate of the bill under the
consideration of the legislature of that country will, we under-
stand, operate very favourably or otherwise on commerce, as the•
question may be determined. Notwithstanding all that has
been done in that populous district (the potteries) by parochie:
aid, public subscriptions, and private charity, we are assure?:
there is still a great amount of severe suffering. Notwithstand
ing all the efforts which have been made, it affords us great
pleasure to learn that the springs of benevolence are not yet
dried up.—Stafford paper. •
