FOREIGN MISCELLANY

/ "A melancholy circumstance has happened at
Hamburg Frenchman, who had been playing
for time with the usual luck of all gamesterS
put down his last napoleon and lost it like the rest
He drew pistol out of his pocket, and blew his
brains out whilst sitting at the fatal trete ct quar-
ante table. The people that are generally in atten-
drnce threw cloth over his face, and carried the
wretched man out, life being quite extinct, and the
game proceeded as if nothing had occurred.
Monsieur Gracia Spaniard now at Hamburg,
has lost four hundred thousand francs at the gam
ingtabe. His play, which he still continues is OBJ
liged to be now on more moderate scale, but not
so his temper. His rage is great at losing, that,
before the crOupier rake in the money! he takes
it up and throws it at him, which, if it happens to
be gold instead of paper, is not pleasant way of
being paid. He always insists on sitting next the
crouper who is the dealer of the cards. The con-
sequence is that when they know he is playing, or
going to play, the crOupiers toss up to see which
shall deal, their dread is so great of being his
neighbOr.
The following very pretty story is now going

lowing small characters: '0leo III. a, V, a, r, 8,
20 The village schoolmaster unhesitatingly GER
titled the inscription to mean 'Napoleol Ill, ante
ammo regnum subvertet % (debus);' the literal
translation of which is, Napoleon Ill, before five
years, will destroy kingdom in 20 days" Of
course, perdiOus Albion is the country thus super
naturally designated; but it will be comfort to
many minds to think that she has so long a respite
as five years.
"A French provincial paper, the Gazette du Md,
publishes a letter from Rome, from which it APP
pears that the Holy See has commenced using the
''interdict' in the Romagna. At Bologna five
priests have been 'nterdicted," the offence al
legged against them being that they took partu the
election for the deputies who pronounced the sepa-
ration of the Romagnas from "the demesncs of st.

French bazaar of Carlo Ross in the Toledo buttons

and Victor Emmanuel; and the director is begged

nal designs should be introduced into the kingdom.

The only authentic news of war from the Papa
States refers to crusade against the moustaches
and boards of the civil unctionaries of the govern
