Extraordinary Idiosyncrasy--An Aris-
tocratic Hermit in England.

A correspondent Of the Wolverhampton
Chronicle says there Is hermit living q few
miles from stevenage, and within thirty of
the metropolis; and he thus describes visit to
the hermit's retreat: 1fi ~ 3 .jesi.ts sir
At the termination of the road q mansion Of
no ordinary size met my view, but better and
happier tirnes had reigned within; without all
was desolation and ruin. Time--thst destroyer
Of all things-had done its work here; every
inlet was barricaded by therude axe and ham
mer; its portals no living mortal had passed
Tor eleven long years; the interior, which was
once rich in design and comfort, Is now moul-
dering to decay; no cheering voice Is heard
within its walls, only that of rats and vermin.
In tracing my steps to the scene of the hermit's
cell, which is situated at the back of the
building, and looking through the wooden
bars Of window devoid Of glass, perceived
a dismal, black, and dirty cellar, with an
earth floor, not one vestige of furniture except
a wooden bench and few bottles, with the
remnants Of q fire. Lar7r tr'f ,zzss.
It was with difficulty, by the faint rays of
light admitted into this loathsome den, that
could trace human form, clothed only in a
horse rug, leaving his arms, legs and feet per-
fectly bare; his hair was prodigiously long,
with beard tangled and matteds On my
addressing him he came forward with readi-
ness. ! found him a gentleman by educa-
tion and birth, and most courteous in his man
| ners. He anxiously inquired after several
aristocratic families In 6affordshire and ad-
joining counties. tits evident he at one period
mixed in the first circles; but the secret of
his desolate retirement is, and probably ever
will remain, mystery TO his neighbors and
tenantry, by whom be is supplied by food
Chiefly bread and milky Already eleven
weary winters has he passed in this dreary
abode, his only bed being two sheepskins, and
his sole companions the rats, which may be seen
passing to and fro with all ease and perfect
safety. During the whole of his seclusion be
has strictly abstained from ablution, conse-
dusntly his countenance is perfectly black.

ARMS FOR VIRGNIA.-We saw at Adams 8
Express Office yesterday ten boxes of sharpe's
rifles, six boxes of ammunition to match, four
cases Of Colts revolvers, and four cases of Ca
tridges, marked for Harper's Ferry. So it
seems that Virginians are not too proud to
use Yankee-made rifles and Yankee made
powder and ball. We understand that these
arms were purchased by the State Of Virginia,
and are probably intended to arm tho vol
unteer militia Of Charlsstown. 1t looks as II
hasty preparations were making to receive that
large body Of Ohio resouers who are expected
at Harper's Ferry on or before the I'd Of De-
cember.- Courant, November ~.

The WAR FEELING AGAINST ENGLAND IN
FRANoE.--It is stated, says writer in Q Lon
don paper, that in France tho project ofs war
with England is necessarily discussed in the
high places of power, in the public offices, in
the Army and the Navy, among the working
classes, and among men of business. Tho
army is reported to be unanimous for war. In
the Navy, tho desire for It amountto frenzy.
The Church Is as eager as either Army or
Navy. The Conclusions are that, in war
with England, the French Emperor has the
power of satisfying Army and Navy, Of graft
flying the clergy, Of winning over the Legiti-
mists, and Of securing the sufrages Of Z
united people. ',9! a'e hon
