His Royal Highness Prince Albert has presented his infant
god-daughter, the child of Lord and Lady Robert Grosvenor,
with a superb and costly gold basin that was used at the font
on the occasion of the christening. •
Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to express her
intention to patronize the Cornwall Regatta, annually held
at Falmouth, and which this year is expected to come off in
August. The committee have, therefore, altered its appel-
lation to that of the Royal Cornwall Regatta.

We quote the following strange consequence of
bulism from the Droit A working jeweller,
Quartier St. Jacques, had repeatedly lost articles 01
intrusted to him by his employers, and, from the circL
stances of his life and establishment, could not believe ti.
abstractions to have been made by any one but his own
daughter. He repeatedly accused her of the thefts, which
she strenuously denied. As they continued till all his savings
were exhausted, and his conviction as to the cause remained
unshaken, he turned his child out of doors and lived alone.
Notwithstanding this, his losses did not cease, and he was
almost in despair, when a few nights ago he was awakened
from his sleep by a violent pain in one of his feet. (
examining it, he found that it arose from a wound, in
there was a piece of glass. On recollection, he -
mind that on the preceding day he broke a g!
and was convinced that he must have trod upon the fray
meats with his naked feet, and to do this must have walked
in his sleep and got upon the table. Following up this idea,
he made an investigation, and at length discovered all the
missing articles concealed in the corner of the ceiling of the
room. He sent for his daughter home next morning."

PERSIAN CURE FOR HOME-SICKNESS.—We meta throng
of villagers, old and young, men, women, and children, some
on foot, and some on donkeys. They were hurrying on in
great haste, and every face in the company appeared a happy
one. On inquiring the cause of their travelling in such
numbers, they said that they were from the district of
Maragha, near lake Ourmiah, that their sons and brothers
had been serving in the army in Khorassan, two or three
,years, and, becoming discontented, had demanded permis-
sion to return and see their friends. The Shah replied to
their importunities, that he would bring their friends to
them, and immediately sent orders to the governor to take
by force the families of these soldiers and convey them into
ghorassan. The order was obeyed. They were torn
from their homes, and driven, like a herd of cattle
Maragha to Zenjan. Here they had prevailed upo
conductors to suffer then to tarry until they could semi a
representation of their reduced and miserable condition to
the Shah, with an humble petition of leave to return. The
Shah had granted their prayer, they had been released that
very morning, and were now scampering back to their homes
