in England recently, in which tue principals are q
granddaughter Of the late Lady and Sir r. Burdett
and nephew of.Mr. Guinness. the Dublin banker
and brewer. The lady on her marriage became
entitled to splendid fortune-G14,0OO year-in
which the husband had life interest, and in the
event Of there being no children, the income would
fall absolutely 20 him, spposing that be survived his
wife. This was the position Of affairs at the birth Of
Mr. and Mrs. Hills first child, boy, and that gen.
tleman now stands accused of having had the infant
registered under fase name. and informing bis wife
that it was dead, when, in point Of fact, be had
handed 1t over to London beggar to be used as an
instrument of exortiug charity from the miscellaneous
public. The couple do not aPpearto have lived very
happily together, and Mr.. Hill sought refuge in
Brussels. Owing to the investigations Of detective,
this child, the heir to princeIy income, traced
and restored TO its mother. Hearing Of this crcum-
stance, Hill left his quarters in the Belgian meropo-
lis and proceeded in disguise to England whore he

elements Of the romantic-birth, fortune, youth,
wealth, and beauty-everything, in short, that can
fix on the attention Of an inquisitive world. Mr..
Hills position, in a legal sense, is very perilous,
unlees bis injured wife be induced toshow mercy.

Palas Royal. Two Spaniards, with one Of their
countywomen, were strolling along the galleries,
when the lady, neatly rolling cigarette, began to
smske The unusual sight Of a woman INDUCING in
the fumes Of tobacco eordm popHi attracted crowd,
and man actually came mp and asked the lady for
light in the most offensive manner. One OF her COM
panions Immediately knocked him down. am glad
to say the crowd spplauded him, and shouted

whether Spanish or Russian, should bear in mind
that in Paris smoking lie only practced by ladies OF
