the case, and the grounds of the appeal, using no arg

of aggravation, leaving the matter entirely to the discretion
of the court. M. C. Ledru, in rising to plead in defence of
his interestinc, client, found it necessary to say but few words,
go measured, he sald, was the requisition of the public pro-
secutor, who declared that the appeal had been lodged only
from a scrupulous respect to the laws. " This," replied the
learned counsel, is good in principle, but in the presence
of the noble-minded sister then before them, the penal code
became a dead letter." He then cited an article in the con-
stitutions of the order, by which all the sisters were solemnly
bound—rich as well as poor, the most exalted as well as the
most hnmble—to leave everything, even the most sacred of
their spiritual duties, including confession and communion,
to render their aid to the poor, and, above all, to the sick.
This sacred duty the good sister, his client, he affirmed, had
strictly performed for 32 years, and, therefore. had no need
of the precepts of the penal code. The address of M.
Charles Ledru, though short, was elegant and impressive,
and so accordant with the sentiments of the judges, that they
did not retire, but at once dismissed the appeal. Upon this
Sister Ste. Gabrielli made her obeisance to the coin t ; and
withdrew with her counsel and other attendants, receiving
many marks of respect from the audience.—Galignatzi.
Drvistos OF PILOPIRTY.—At a,meeting of radicals and
republicans, held a short time since at Carcassonne, as a
letter from that place states, the persons present amused
themselvet by drawing lots for portions of the estate of a
marquis in the neighbourhood, in the event of any future
revolution taking place !

ROYAL DEMISE.—On Wednesday the funeral of old
Isaacs, the king of the gipsies. took place at Yatton, a village
about nine miles west of Bristol ; there was a very large as•
nimbly of the black-eyed brunettes. The ceremony was fol.
lowed by sundry and various libations of heavy wet, short
and cold without, until sorrow was floated up to mirth, am
mirth stimulated to anger, and the " funeral baked meats'
were knocked about in one general row.—Deronshire Chro
nicle.

A PUBLIC -SPIRII ED M A N.—Mr. Thomas Richardson, of
Stamford-hill, and Aytoun House, Yorkshire, a thrice liberal
member of a sect renowned for its benevolence, has very re-
cently performed an act of munificence. He had, on many
occasions, liberally endowed British schools in various places;
and he has now given the sum of £5,000 to found an agricul-
tural school. The estate of Mr. Philip Heseltine, at Ayton,
near Stokesley, has been purchased for the purposes of a
school and model farm, and an institution, long needed in
the north. will be supplied by the wise liberality of Mr.
Richardson, aided by contributions from other sources. The
school is intended only for Quaker pupils.—Globe.
