MELANCHOLY DEATH.—We regret to have to announce
the death of the Rev. James Lowry Dickson, rector of Lavey,
county of Cavan, under the following melancholy circum-
stances :—lt appears that on Wednesday last Mr. Dickson,
having returned home from Cavan, felt somewhat fatigued,
and, after dinner, retired to bed. Mrs. Dickson being out
visiting at the time, there was no person in the house but the
servant maid, and a person named Eccles, a relative of Mrs.
Dickson, who, unfortunately, is subject at intervals to fits of
mental derangement. This person having entered the dining-
room, after Mr. Dickson had retired, and having partaken
copiously of of a decanter of spirits, which he found on the
sideboard, commenced smashing the glasses.. &c., when the
servant maid, who, although well aware of the danger she
incurred by interferimr. came to this Ann..

lation that I RissoNtsm.—On Monday last John Johnstone, Esq..

our county inspector, and Charles M'Kelvy, Esq., sub-in-
spector of constabulary, with a party under their command,
and acting upon information they had previously received,
entered the house of a person named Hanlon, residing it
Nlonagban, and in a room up stairs found seven perse
seated round a table, in conclave, and upon searching then,
they discovered, in the watch pocket of one of the persons,
named Hanlon, the son of the proprietor of the house, a
paper, containing the "ponds," that 'is, the signs and pass-
words of the Ribbon society, just issued for the present quar-
ter. The whole party were taken up, and on Tuesday they
were fully committed for trial by the magistrates presiding
at petty sessions. Three of the party had been admitted to
bail, but the other four are yet in custody. Papers were
found only on one of them, but this may be accounted for,
as they had not time to get the ' goods' delivered to each
until the police were upon them. The house was one of
entertainment, but altbough they were sitting round the
table they had no refreshment of any kind before them, and
it is worthy of remark that they were all from different
quarters of the country. One of them from the county
Louth. one of them from the direction of Clones, one from
that of Glasslough, another living near Baliybay, and‘dthe
others from opposite directions, and all apparently strangers
to each other, as if it were a meeting of delegates from se-
veral districts, assembled at one central point to devise new
schemes of rebellion, and bring back to their several lodges
the orders from head quarters. The ramification of this dan-
gerous conspiracy is daily extending, supported as it now is
by the extraordinary excitement which pervades society in
Ireland, and aided by the facility of assembling and com-
munication afforded by the legal repeal meetings."—Belfast

FOREIGN COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE

FRANCE

The Paris papers, cf Thursday and Friday, do not contain
any thing of political importance. They publish, how-
ever, some particulars of a banquet given at Macon to M.
de Laniartine, and a report of that distinguished deputy's
very remarkable speech on the occasion, in which he exhorts
the people to " endeavour to recal the Government to the
principles which placed the present King on the throne; but
that, should the Government persist obstinately in the course

it has hitherto pursued, the people must not accompany them
in it." The terms in which this unquestionably gifted per-
son conveyed his meaning are, however, either too poetical
or too timid to be literally understood an

anslaied ; w

and that nppears to be, that " the present state of things may
endure for, in all, fifteen years in France, or to the demise
of the present Sovereign ; ' but that " the destinies of the
country were never either in the hands of, or bound 'up with
the fall or existence of any individual." " Napoleon," said
he, significantly, "is dead. Powerful dynasties have passed
away, yet France remains. It has never yet been confined
to any man or to any power to curry with them the fortunes
of France."

According to the figurative reasoning of M. De Lamartine,
" the monarchy imagined and decreed in 1830, and which it
was then understood was to he that of King Louis Phillippe,
was the work of reason and of necessity,—a monarchy not
enveloped in the mysteries of English metaphysics, con-
cealing its origin in heaven (!), but the monarchy of broad
daylight, examined by everybody, agreed to by everybody,
belonging to everybody. Less than that would be the ancien
regime—more than that would be the republic." He con-
cluded by giving as a toast—" The regular a► d pertomble ac-
complishment of the destinies of democracy.'

In a word, M. de Lamartine shows that thf two mona chies
tried by France since 1789—the military monarchy of Na-
poleon and the divine-right monarchy of • he re4t,ration, en-
dured for onry fifteen years each; that tht prom .at experiment
(monarchy) has existed for now nearly e.guieen years, and
may be expected to expire in a couple more; that then the
existing monarchy having been, though a work of necessity,
a masterpiece of reason, and having failed in its object,
France should have no more to do with monarchies of any
kind or description.
The Moniteur of Saturday has the following :
" The Prince de Joinville, on his arrival at Rio de Janeiro,
demanded of the Emperor of the Brazils, with the consent
of the King his father, the hand of her Imperial highness the
Princess Frances of Braganza, which was accorded to him.
The marriage was to be celebrated at Rio de Janeiro on the
Ist of May. The Prince de Joinville is now on his way back
to France, in the frigate Belle Poole, with the young Princess
his bride. Their Royal Highnesses are expected in the
course of next month."

" The new daughter-in-law of the King of the French,"
says the Commerce, "will shortly enter her 19th year. Her
sister, Donna Maria, is Queen of Portugal, and her second
and elder sister, Januaria, is presumptive heiress to the
crown of the Brazils."

" It would he curious to ascertain," adds one of our pri-
vate latters, " the precise amount of influence this coming
event exercised over the mission of Mr. Ellis."

One of the Paris Journals contains the particulars of a
threatened affair of honour between M de la Roche Pouchin
and Prince Napoleon, son of Jerome Bonaparte, which was

There is at present in the orangery of Versailles an orange
tree planted by one of the female ancestors of Jeanne
d'Albret. Its age is 432 years. It was brought to France

in 1560, and was the first of the kind that vas seen. Francis
I. and Henry IV. kept it at Fontainebleau.—Galiynani's
Messenger.

ARTESIAN WeLLs.—We understand that it is intended
to carry the bore for the Artesian well in the Garden of
Plants to the depth of 800 or 900 metres, whereas that at
Grenelie is only 550 metres deep. The object of piercing so
low is to find water of a high temperature. The expectation

of doing so is foancleti on observations made by M. Arago and
M. Walferdin, at Grenelle, that tile temperature of the water
increased in warmth one degree at every 32 metres depth,

3t; to 39 degrees centigrade (about from 97 to 101 Fahrenheit,)
with which the hothouses of the equatorial plants, and also
the lodges of the animals in the menagerie, and even the hos-
pitals in that quarter, may be warmed in winter.—Paris

EXTRACT OF A LETTER

PARIS, JUNK 8
This is Saint Medard ! (the St. Swithin of France), and it
has rained incessantly all day, as it has done in fact for the
forty days that have preceded it. Will you believe that the
gloom which, had this been the 9th instead of the Bth of
June, would have been produced by a continuance of rain
and cold, is considerably enhanced by the recollection that
this is Saint Medard? A report prevails on the Bourse (of
all places!) that the astronomers predict that a favourable
change will take place on Saturday. Let us hope that this is
something more than a mere stock-jobbing rumour, for the
weather is the sole influence now felt at the Bourse, political
excitement being for the moment in abeyance.

Should the weather improve, we shsll.Vet have a good har-
vest, but this is the critical moment. We have had much
rain and a very cold temperature, but no material injury has
yet occurred to the corn crops. The vintage will, however,
in any case be a failure. You already know that irreparable
mischief has been done to the vines of Bordeaux and of Bur-

The prospect in Champagne may be collected from

the following passage in a letter I read yesterday, from an
officer of the Regiment of Artillery, now on its march from
Paris to Metz, and dated Chalons sur Marne :

" The vintage in this country will be the worst on record.
Oar cannoneers will, on passing through Champagne, have
drunk more Champagne wine than the whole vintage of the
