~Ben Ayet, the ex-minister of the
Bay of Tunis, has been to Marseilles to
fetch his wives, and has brought them in
triumph to Paris. These ladies have
adopted the French costume, and appear
in public without wells. The Bey is flu
rious, as he accuses Ben Ayet of having
plundered his treasury. Since the Minis
ter's fight his widowed spouses have been
detained as precious hostages by the Bey.
The police never quilted the door Of their
house, and only few women were allow
ed to visit them. 1t appears, however,
that they whiled away, the weary hours
of captivity by trying on and learning to
wear French dresses, and when they be-
came perfect in the art, they one day cool
ly walked past the sentinels, who mistook
them for visitors

VANCOUVER IsLAND.-Late intelli-
gence from this region speaks of petition
addressed to the British Parliament by
eighty-six landed proprietors and inhabit-
ants of the islandspraying that, as the five
years for which the island was granted to
the Hudson Bay Company is about to ex-
pire, the colony may be taken under the
direct charge of the Home Government,
and stating that the attempted colony has
proved failure on account of the high
price of land per acre, and the liberal gift
of land to actual settlers in Oregon, sepa-
rated from the island only by a strait,
which is daily crossed by canoes. The
petitioners say that a large number of
British subjects in California have been
desirous of settling in the island, but were
deferred by these circumstances, and, in
consequence, some have gone to Oregon.
