CALAIS.--The pier and jetty of this port, the strongest and best constructed of any in this country, could not stand against the impetuosity of the foaming element. The massive stones that were cranked together by strong iron bars, and hitherto have served as a breakwater to the pier and harbour, were shaken from their places and broken asunder. The deep-driven piles of the jetty then became loosened. At the end there was a sentry-box for the douaniers, which was completely washed away, with about •; 25 to 30 yards of the upper part of the pier or bars, leaving only the piles standing, and other damage done. The signalstaff was broken to pieces, and six small brass guns, which serve to salute the arrival or passing of any squadron or ships of war belonging to foreign nations at peace with France, were entirely dismounted from their carriages, and thrown to some distance by the impetuosity of the waves.— Boulogne Journal. The Waterford Mail, a Tory paper of some conscience, pays the following well-deserved compliment to the Noble foreign correspondent of a fashionable morning paper It is boasted that a Peer, Lord Ranelagh, is as fightin, a volunteer in the bigot's ranks, and much admiration 'has been bestowed upon his Lordship's excellent letters in favour of the patron of the Jesuits and friend of the Inquisition, published in the Morning Post. If he were a popish Peer, we would understand his conduct. But he is a high Protestant ; and, if he had a vote in the House of Lords, would unquestionably record it against the National Board, and every measure tending to exalt the name of the Bishop of Rome in these realms. Yet, he is fighting and shedding blood, to make the Pope lord paramount to Spain What a miserable, contemptible, and unprincipled creature he must be !" •  TILE VENDOME MuTINY.—Tile trials of the military mutineers of Vendome commenced before a Council of War at Tours on Friday. The President read to the Court the Ministerial order by which it was summoned to sit on the trial of Bruyant (Charles Victor), a brigadier, a jeweller before entering the service, 22 years of age ; Thierry (Nicholas), a hussar, a boat-maker before he enlisted ; Oudinot de la Faverie (Pierre Victor Francois Louis), brigadier, a student before entering the service, 25 years of age ; Marsha l (Louis Nicholas), hussar, formerly a gardener, aged 22 ; Descartes (Bartholemi Theophile), a hussar, formerly a carrier, 30 years of age ; Bassicre (Claude Alphonse), bussar, a paper-stainer, aged 25 ; Benoit (Pierre), a hussar, a hatter before entering the army, '25 years of age ; Bernard (Pierre), a hussar, formerly a mason, aged 24 ; Lenoan, a hussar, a servant before enlisting, aged 20 ; Nardin (Francois Auguste), a hussar, and formerly a boot-maker, aged '27. All of these are charged with participation in a conspiracy having for its object to overturn the Government of the King, and proclaim the Republic. Bruyant is, moreover, accused of having been the promoter of the plot—of having attempted to create a revolt in the regiment to which he belongs, by crying " To arms : liberty for ever!" and having committed a wilful murder on the person of a brigadier Thierry was declared contumacious.
