against the Count, ,and he was held liable in payment of the several sums for which he had become bound. The debt then amounted to nearly l0,000f. sterling and about the year lS04, the Count was ob- liged to sacrifice his estates at less than half their value to liqudatc the debts of the royal fugitiyes. Matters remain ed in this state until Louis XVIII, was reinstated on the throne of France The Count now made application to his Majesty and the Dauphin for the resti- tuition of the sums advanced, when Lou is and his ministry entered into an en- gagement to pay off the debt by install ments, ,and about l50,000 francs {6,00W.) were refunded to the Count in three diff ferent payments. After Charles Ks ac- ccssion 10 the throne, the Count renewed his application, and received repeated promises, from him and his ministry, but not a shilling of the great balance due. Hope deferred had made. the Counts heart sick even when his expectations depended on the honor of a King; but judge of his surprise on aseertaining that the late occurrences in France had dri- ven his royal debtor from the throne, down even into the sanctuary of Holy rood House! Charles being foreigner here, and having no domicile in Scot land, the Count was compelled to take certain steps in order to avail himself of the Scots law. Letters of arrestment at the instance of the Count and man~ datories before the Court of Session was accordingly raised against the ex- King, and about the beginning of No vember, messenger at arms was sent toarrest all his carriages txe. whehwas forthwith done jarisdictioais fudanda coatsa, in order to be found q jurisdiction in this court. Immediately thereafter a summons was raised and executed by IT messenger, who cited King Charles the Tenth, alsas Mir. Capet, to appear before the Lords of Council and Sessiol
 on an early day in December. The ac
 ton being thus founded according tt law. letters of arrestment were raised on the dependence thereof, and arrest
 ments laid in the hands of an eminent banker here to the amount of about 50,00al. We should like to see how "eur Lords of Council and Session. vii
 look with the King at their bar.

Epiiaphs and Church-yasds.--Who does not love to wander among the hab- itatious of the dead, and read their va ried inscriptions? Volumes of instruc- ton and curious information may be gleaned from grave stones, but it is inei.. ancholy to observe the little care that is taken in our own country to preserve these, perchance the only memorials of the deceased. Our church-yards arc in
 deed, enclosed by ornamental and sub stantial pailings-the grass waves green and luxuriant above the ground, uDpro-
 famed by tic footstep of the brute crea- tion--but where is the pious hand to protect the tomb itself from the rayagcs of time---the vicissitudes of the seasons and the dilapidations by accidcnt?-- Where do we behold any of those sim pie yet touching tributes of affection, which, in other countries, are paid at the shrine Of departed genius and worth? ?
 It is cold, cold philosophy, that teach
 es to neglect such acts as useless and un.
 availing--that demonstrates that the
 body is but the prison-house of the soul --the soul only immortal--that when
 she quits this curious workmanship and life TO longer animates it, that then should cease all those feelings of vencr- alton and respect with which before we were won't to regardit. 1fsuch be the cffcct--and we fearit is so--of modern philosophy hy-then may we we'll question
 our boasted superiority over the ancicnts flor they thought it not unworthy Of the departed soul to embalm the body in
 which had dwelt that soul, and to pre-
 serve it in splendid mausoleums as the
 once sacred deposit of a precious treas- ure.

Our readers were informed, some

pauy to make Rail Road from Hin
chester in Virginia To Xarpers- Eerry,

incorporated on most liberal terms and
with ample powers, by the Legislature
Of Virginia, at the last session. A

Mr.. Barton and Mr.. Marlborough, Di-
rectors. and Mr.. Bent. Clerk Of the
Company, have visited Baltimore to
examine the Railroads in the vicinity
Of this city, to obtain information as to
their construction, and ascertain the
disposition Of our citizens to unite with
them in eifecting a communication by
Rail way between Baltimore aud the
rich valley the Shenandoah, in which
Winchester is located. On MONDAY
afternoon, the gentlemen composing
the delegation took ride up the Sus-
quehanna Rail Road; and. we under
stand, were much eratilied by the in
