Napoleon's Gold Watch.-It is known
hat Napoleon presented the gold watch
which he wore at the battle of Austerli:z, to
the Able Buonatita, his Chaplain at St.
Helena, as mark Of regard for the atten-
tons which he had received at his hands.
By some concurrent circumstances, this
watch, with some other articles, also the
gift of the Ex.Emperor, come to be sold,
by auction in the Isle of Bourbon, during
the course of the last month, and woul ap.
pear to have been the objects decomposition.
The watch with chain and guard, sold for
1853 piastres, or about 1873 pounds, 10 a M.
A. Koenig. A silver tea pot fetched 100
piastres. ISL and other articles, such as
sugar basins, salt cellars, &c. equally good
prices. The whole realized about 400
pounds. An amateur, who was not pres.
ent at the sale, offered afterwards very
large sum for the watch, which had mark
ed the hour of the battle of Austerlitz,
but the purchaser would not part with it.

Potato Bread.--We were induced, few
days since--at the suggestion of a gentle
man ofthis place-to have the experiment
made in our family of baking species of
bread with which we had not before been
acquainted, and which we find answers ad.
mirably, both in point ofquality and econo.
my. The variation from the old method of
bread-baking consists simply in adding
one-third ofmashcd boiled Irish potatoes to
two-thirds OF flour, which is then made up in
the usual manner. When we are paying
80 SO per barrel for flour, and when pota.
toes can be had at two shillings bushel,
the saving will be found considerable, and
worth the attention of housekeepers gener-
ally. The bread is excellent, and to our
taste, decidedly preferable to that to which
we have been accustomed.
