be speedily brought before the attention OF the

moved until they at length reach the line ald out
by the Dock Commissioners, and there Will be no
channel at all.

The Late Marchioness Of Waterford.

d The English papers announce the
heath of lady who has for some years
cen before the fashionable world of
London the Marchioness of Waterford.
Her first husband was the honorable
Mr.. Vivian, brother of Lord Vivian, a
gentleman now occupying high otfi
cial position. Lord Waterford, who is
nephew of the Marquise, soweH known
for his practical jokes, who was killed
in the hunting field, was, when his ac-
quaintance with Miss Vivian com.
menced, a young man i'll the Life
Guards. The intimacy between the
young Marquis and the lady had long
been the subject of uncharitable COM
ment, and was attended by circum-
stances which brough very severe re-
Election not Only on the young lady but
on her husband; The news that she bad
eloped with the Marquis $ took the
town by storm" A divorce was the
consequence, but the most extraordi-
nary part of the affair is that it is now
stated that the lady's marriage with
Mr.. Vivian was no marriage, inasmuch
as he had a wife already. For some
time after the divorce Mrs. Vivian re-
sided with Lord Waterford at Curragh-
more, his princeIy seat in Ireland,
without announcement of marriage
taking place. but at length the fact of
its solemnization was recorded few
months ago She died after giving
birth to still-born son.
Lady Waterford is a cousin of tho
unfortunate Lady Mordaunt, and her
death Ilndar the circum stances detaj led
is likely to create considerable sensa
tion in the fast fashionable world of
London.

DUeIing in France.

The Court of Assizes of Mayenne has
just been engaged in the trial of five
persons for dueling. The affair had
caused great excitement in the depart
ment, first from the situation of the
parties, the principals being M. Apple
ton, Sub-Prefect, and M. Ritter, Re-
ceiver of Finances, and next from the
fatal termination of the affair, the
former gentleman having been killed
by pistol shot, which passed through
the lung and fractured the spine. A
remarkable feature of the case was also
The trivial circumstance out of which
the quarrel arose. Ritter had neglect
ed to return visit the other had paid
him, and NJ. Appleton, meeting him
afterward at soiree, in consequence
abstained from bowling to him. The
Receiver ordered the Sub-Prefect to
salute him, and, on the other refusing,
threw his glove III the face of M. Apple
ton, who answered with blow. The
duel took place with the fatal result
just mentioned. The Court acquitted
all the accused, but condemned NJ.
Ritter to pay the cests.

4 Singular S0mnambuiist.
From the Shelby [Ky.) Courant.


A rather singular case of soDnna bu-
ism recently occurred in this vicinity
that is, perhaps, worthy place IN your
columns. The facts are these: A
beautiful and accomplished young lady
of the neigborhood, who had a strong
predilection for attending all the dane
ing parties that came off anywhere
within reach of her home-who rather
{" had dancing on the brain, " as one of
the good old deacOns remarked-arose
one night while asleep, and proceeded
to dress as for ball, and, as she re-
marked afterward, dreamed that her
escort was awaiting for her, and that
she was in great hurry. Instead OF
fixing her hair up as she should have
done, she procured pair of scissors
and cut it nearly all off, which occupa-
ton she was found engaged in by her
mother, who, hearing the noise, had
gone to her room to ascertain the
cause. She now mourns the loss of her
curls, and can't be induced to attend
another ball.
