THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SELF•POSSESSION OF Loins PHILIPPE.—What a mo-
ment was that, in the life of Louis Philippe, when, sur-
rounded by as fine and noble a staff as ever grouped round
a monarch, Louis Philippe, on arriving at the Boulevard
du Temple, whilst reviewing the National tivards and
troops of the line, suddenly witnessed the explosion of the
infernal machine of Fieschi. Around him were his sons.
Beside him was the brave Trevise struck down and bleed-
ing. Every where about him were victims of Fieschi's
diabolical plot. But the king was unhurt. He raised his
hat, and said, "I am not wounded." His sons crowded
about him. Large tears rolled down his cheeks as he
gazed on the noble and faithful Duke de Trevise, but not
a moment had to be lost. "My mother !" said the young
Duke of Orleans. The king comprehended his meaning,
and despatched an orderly officer to the palace. " March !"
cried the king; and the cortege proceeded. If it had not
done so—if the king had hesitated—if he had appeared
paralysed—if the review had been broken up, confusion
would have followed ; some tens of thousands of mis-
creants, who had all prepared themselves to profit by an-
ticipated disorder, would have pillaged Paris, overthrown
the government, and involved France in war and anarchy.
The cool, calm, dignified, manly conduct of Louis Phi-
lippe at that moment of real danger and alarm won for
him the golden opinions of all moderate men of all parties,
and saved France from years of civil war.—Fraser':
Magazine.

GENERAL MISCELLANY.

THE JUDGES' LAST EQUESTRIAN PROCESSION.—On
the first day of term the Judges, in ancient times, rode
on horseback to the Hall, and, in the time of Lord Che.n-
cellor Shaftesbury, an attempt was made to revive the
custom. Roger North gives the following ludicrous ac-
count of that last time in which the Judges' procession,
at the commencement of term, was made on horseback.
He says (speaking of Lord Shaftesbury)—" His lordship
had an early fancy, or rather freak, on the first day of
term, to make his procession on horseback, as in the
olden time the way was, when coaches were not so rife.
And accordingly the Judges, &c., were spoken to to get
horses, as they and all the rest did, by borrowing and
hiring, and so equipped themselves with black foot-cloths,
in the best manner they could. And divers of the nobi-
lity, as usual, in compliment and honour to the new Lord
Chancellor, attended also in their equipments. Upon
notice in town of this cavalcade, all the show company
took their places at windows and balconies, with the foot-
guards in the streets, to partake of the fine sight, and
being once settled for the march it moved, as the design
was, statelily along. But when they came to straights
and interruptions, for want of gravity in the beasts, and
too much in the riders, there happened some curvetting,
which made no little disorder. Judge Twisden, to his
great affright and the consternation of his grave brethren,
was laid along in the dirt. But all at length arrived safe,
without loss of life or limb in the service. This accident
was enough to divert the like frolic for the future, and the
very term after they fell to their coaches, as before."
THE HERSCHELS.—HerscheI (the elder)* was not only
a great man ' • he was also a most fortunate man. He was
fortunate in having George 111 for a patron. Again he
was fortunate in having M, Arago for a liographer, who,
while complete master of his subject, is also a gentleman
11 superior to envy, and capable of sympathising, with the
truly great. Thrice fortunate was he in transmitting his
name and fame to one• who. with the amplest intellectual
resources of an accomplished scholar and philosopher,
evidently cherishes the characteristic boldness of his fa-
ther's spirit, and upholds that liberty of conjecture which
is indeed the mainspring of sagacity. Sir John Hers-
chel has observed about 2500 nebule, and perhaps 2000
double stars in the southern hemisphere. He has detected
among them ample evidence of that change and revolu-
tion which had fixed his father's attention. When we
consider that the Herchels, father and son. have carefully
examined the whole starry firmament with 20 feet teles-
copes--instruments of which, in their present state of
perfection, the eider of them may be said to be the inven-
tor—and that they have made known to us thousands of*
the most interesting sidereal phenomena, it appears to us
hardly an exaggeration to say, that Astronomy, be-
yond our own system, rests chiefly on their labours. It
is generally understood that the sole object of Sir John
Herschel's labours was to complete those of his father,
and to develope fully those views respecting the Construc-
tion of the Universe which, when demonstrated, will im-
mortalise its author. For such an undertaking Sir John
Herschel has inexhaustible materials in the journals of
the observatory at Slough ; he has collected all the evi-
dence which the southern hemisphere can supply ; and in-
spired as he is, by a noble and pious purpose, we doubt
not that his work, whenever it shall appear, will be reck-
oned one of the most remarkable monuments of modern
science.—Foreign Quarterly.
THE TOMB OF CHARLEMAGNE.—In 1804, when
Buonaparte became known as Napoleon, he visited Aix-
la-Chapelle. Josephine, who accompanied him, had the
caprice to sit down on the chair; but Napoleon, out of
respect for Charlemagne, took off his hat, and remained
for some time standing, and in silence. The following
fact is somewhat remarkable :—ln 814 Charlemagne died.
A thousand years afterwards, most probably about the
same hour, Napoleon fell. After mounting a narrow
staircase my guide conducted me to a gallery, wick is cal-
led the Hochmunster. In this place is the armchair of
Charlemagne. It is low, exceedingly wide, with a round
back,—is formed of four pieces of white marble, without
ornaments or sculpture, and has for a seat an oak board,
covered with a cushion of red velvet. There were six
steps up to it, two of Which are of granite, the others of
marble. On this chair sat,—a crown upon his head, a
globe in one hand, a sceptre in the other, a sword by his
side, the imperial mantle over his shoulders, the cross of
Christ round his neck, and his feet in the sarcophagus of
Augustus,—Carolo Magno in his tomb, in which attitude
he remained for three hundred and fifty-two years, from
814 to 1166, when Frederick Barberousse, coveting the
chair for his coronation, entered the tomb. Barberousse
was an illustrious prince and a valiant soldier, and it
must therefore have been a moment singularly strange
when this crowned man stood before the crowned corpse
of Charlemagne,—the one in all the majesty of empire,
the other in all the majesty of death. The soldier over-
came the shades of greatness ; the living became the des-
poliator of inanimate worth. The chapel claimed the
skeleton, and Barberousse the marble chair, which after-
wards became the throne where thirty-six emperors were
crowned. Ferdinand the First was the last ; Charles the
Fifth preceded him. The coronation of the German
emperors now takes place at Frankfort. * * * In
that fatal year, 1814, the allied sovereigns visited the tomb
of the great Carolo. Alexander of Russia, took off his
hat and uniform ; Frederick William of Prussia kept on
his casquette de petite tenue ; Francis retained his sur-
tout and round bonnet. The King of Prussia stood upon
the marble steps, receiving information from the prevOte
of the chapitre respecting the coronation of the emperors
of Germany ; the two emperors remained silent, Napo-
leon, Josephine, Alexander, Frederick William, and
Francis, are now no more !—The Rhine.

VARIETIES.

The mahogany tree is full grown in 200 years. Cyprus
trees are known to be 800 or 900 years old.

The Sherborne Journal says, there are now living in
Axminster sixty-two unmarried ladies, and only seventeen
bachelors.

Glass scratches an iron hammer, proving that it is
harder than iron ; yet glass is the very type of fragility,
yielding to the stroke of soft wood, or, indeed, of almost
any thing.

" IN DEATH NOT DIVIDED."—A man living at Su-
resne, having descended a few days back into a wine vat,
was overcome with the g,s generated therein, and was
unable to ascend. His wife, in her anxiety to succour
him, was also overpowered, and both perished.

A PORTRAIT!—When a certain lady, who had been
charmed by his writings, but had never seen his person,
wrote to Mirabeau, saying how much she longed to see
him, and begging that he would describe himself to her,
he complied with the wish of the fair enthusiast, in these
brief and self-adulatory terms : " Figure to yourself a
tiger that has had the small-pox."
THE ART OF STIOPPING.—" What's the price of this
article ?" inquired a deaf old lady. " Seven shillings,"
said the draper. . Seventeen shillings !" she exclaimed ;
" I'll give you thirteen." " Seven shillings," replied the
honest tradesman, "is the price of the article." "Oh !
seven shillings," the lady sharply replied ; " I'll give you
five !"

A REMARKABLE FACT.—A Baptist clergyman and his
wife, who reside in- the vicinity of Boston, have the plea-
sure of daily gathering round their fireside four daughters,
who were born in four different quarters of the globe—
viz. one in Europe, one in Asia, one in Africa, and one in
America—a fact probably unparalleled in the history of
any other family in New England.—Boston (America)
Journal.

RELIEF FOR AN EDITOR.—We were apprehensive of
an almost newsless summary for September, when the
arrival of the intelligence of troubles in the Punjant re-
lieved us. There Singh, the Sikh sovereign, has, along
with his sons, been murdered by his all powerful minister
Ohgan Singh, the regicide himself having, on the day
after the murder, fallen a victim to the dagger of the as-
sassin. There is no chief now strong enough to secure
the sceptre without a long and bloody contest, and such
turmoil is likely immediately to spring up in the country
as to demand our instant interference.—Bombay Times.
—[We congratulate the editor on his complete relief frora
atrophy.]
CHALK HOUSES !—We have heard, often enough, of
wooden houses, iron houses, log huts, and the like ; but
it is something new and curious to hear of chalk houses !
Yet the latter abound in the south of Russia, where the
peasants use large blocks of it to construct their cot-
tages, barns, stables, &c. These erections last much
longer than might have been supposed; and they are
warm in winter, and impervious in the damps. The go-
ernment have lately caused four boarding schools and
v. x stables to be erected of this odd material for building,
the military settlements in the district of Kharko.

DON'T JOKE WITH ELEPHANTS.-At the Statutes at
Barnsley, on Saturday last, a country bumpkin went to
look at Hilton's Collection of Wild Beasts. On enter-
ing the place he began to amuse himself by giving the
elephant gingerbread and fruit; but, soon growing tired
of that, he thought he would try what a joke would do,
and accordingly he pricked the elephant's trunk with a
penknife. No sooner was this done, than out of his den
rushed the animal amongst the visitors, forcing the chain
and the large post to which he had been fastened along
with him. The elephant caught the delinquent by the
collar, and threw him with great force on the ground. Up
he got again quickly, and made his escape outside, but
the elephant struck the temporary ceiling which the man
had just passed with such force as to shiver it to pieces

SALE OF SHIPS OF WAR.—On Tuesday afternoon,
ten of her Majesty's ships of war, condemned by the Ad-
miralty Surveyor, were put up for sale by Dutch auction,
at the Admiralty Office, Somerset House. The average
price of the vessels sold did not exceed 345. per ton, ac-
cording to register, which was considered exceedingly low
considering the construction of the old gun brigs, the class
to which they chiefly belong.
CAUSES OF DEATH.—CORONERS 7 INQUESTS.—From
the borough coroner's accounts for the quarter ended
Nov. 9th, we find that the following are the causes of
death, in the 60 cases in which inquests have been held
by this officer during the quarter :—Burns and scalds, 8 ;
drowning, 8 ; falls, &e., 11; from horses, carts, &c., 3 ;
machinery, 2; railways, 4 ; poisoning, 2; suicides, 7;
found dead, 1 ; other casualties, 2 ; natural deaths, 12.

EXTRAORDINARY ROPE.—Saturday, a hempen rope
was made at a rope factory, at Hayle, which measured
2'BBo feet in lenth, 10* inches in circumference, and
weighed upwards of five tons. More than three million
feet of yarn were consumed in its manufacture. It is for
one of the inclined planes on the Hayle Railway, and in
weight and size exceeds any railway rope of which we
have heard. It is probably the heaviest rope ever made
in the country.—West Briton.

DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL SIR Josn. O'HAL-
LORAN, G.C.B.—We have to announce the demise of the
above gallant officer, who expired at an early hour on
Friday last at his town residence. Sir Joshua was
youngest son of Mr. Sylvester O'Halloran, of Lime-
rick, and was born in 1781, so that he had been upwards
of 60 years in the service, 54 of which he was in India,
having during that lengthened time, we believe, never
been absent on furlough.

It appears from the Bankers' Circular, that the race of
private bankers has ceased to exist in Scotland, the
Greenock bank having merged into the 'Western Bank of
Scotland. Mr. A. Thompson is to continue in its ma-
nagement. This gentleman, in a letter on the subject,
says, " I am the last and oldest of my race, having in
July, 1801, bad the whole property of this company
placed under my charge, and during that long period I
have not been three months absent from my cause.
