MRS. SOUTIWOIT.

The Editor of the. Sunday Monitor has, hit upon a
new expedient to give greater eclat to his friend
Joanna, by publishing an OFFICIAL BULLETIN, and
if there be any truth in the srory, it is to he feared the
Prophetess will make her exit before young Shiloh
makes his debut.

" OFFICIAL BULLF.TIN.
" A material alteration has taken place within the last three
days, in Mrs. Southcotes situation.
" On Thursday night, she complained of a great oppression,
insomuch, that she could not lay down on her bed, nor lie in one
posture, hut a very short time together during the night.
a" On Friday mnrvinr,. she got some sleep., but %yak, d fre-
quently, with the oppreteion and pain. Towards the eveniiig,
she became restless again, had a very bad night, and t•ds day
(Saturday) is so touch exhausted, that,she cannot keep her head
off the pillow. She complains of a giddiness in her Mmd, and
extreme faintness all over her. She declares that s!ie fe• Is the
animation within, much stronger during these last three days
than usual ; sickness and pain continue, bet not those pains moat
tend to any effectual good ; only general pains all over her.
" This is t,le state she is mat present ; some change inmd soon
take place, according to all human under tanding, as she sill
continues without taking nouri-hment, except the vs can, w hick
does not remain lan!. nit her stomach, The sleep she has during
the day, seems t ne'her only support.
" Saturday Evening, Nov. 126.

A. Dublin Paper mentions, that a Mrs. Masos.,
the wife of a calico printer (a Scotchrnan), residing
near Drtimcondra, who is 5S years old, was last
week delivered of a son ; but the most extraordinary
circumstance is, that nature denied the mother the
accu.torned support for her offspring. In this dilemma
her (laughter, who had been brought to bed a month,
and whose child had died, ()tiered her assistance, and
is now nursing her young brother. It will also ex.-
ci!e much surprise, and afford a subject of curiosity
among the medical men, that Mrs. MASON, after her
deliver y , recovered her hearing, of which she had
been deprived for a long time.
The Pursers of the Royal Navy lately presented
a Petition. Opted by about 300 of them) to the
Lords of the Admiralty, setting forth the insuffici-
ency of their half-pay, and the inadequacy of it to
their former pay with the allowances of provisions,
Fire. of which they had been deprived by the recent
reel:L;(6ons. Their Lordships have replied—that the
se4ulations were maturely considered before they
'sere promulgated; that they had been re-considered,
with a regard to the prayer of their Petition ; but
that they did not see any necessity for altering them ;
for that the system, ultimately, would prove more
beneficial to them than that by which Otis Majesty's
Officers of that class was before regulated.
MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT PARIS.—(PARIS, No-
VEMBER QO.)—I have just time to inform you of a
most horrid and mysterious murder, which must have
been committed here last night, or early this morn-
ing. The body of a man was found here this morning
in the following mutilated state :—The bead was found
on the Quai de Thuilleries, the body and arms on the
Place de Louis Qttinze, the legs and thighs in the Alle
des Veuves. The putroles who found there ditrerent
members took them to La Morne, the place v, here per-
sons who meet with an untimely death are exposed, in
order that they may be owned. Thousands have
flocked there, and are still flocking to the place, but
the countenance, though not at all disfigured, is not
as yet recognized by any one. It is generally sup-
posed that he Was a foreigner. It is remarkable that
the members were wrapt up in very fine linen, uhich
was marked with the initials A. C.
A genteel dressed man endeavoured to pass Judd,
one of the cheque-takers at the pit of Drury-lane
Theatre, at 10 o'clock on Saturday night, but not
haying been in before, the man did his duty, and
stopped him. The stranger unttuttoned his coat,
drew a loaded pistol from his pocket, and was in the
act of presenting it, when Baker, a Constable, be-
longing to the Inspector's Office, snatched it from
his hand, and the offender was safely secured in St.
Martin's watch-house.
