JOHN BARROW.  The following, from the Insulaire Franaise, is a striking instance of the still uncivilised state of Corsica: —" The bandit Santa Lucia. having threatened the medical man at Rocasora with assassination, the latter, as a measure of prudence, sought an asylum in the chief town of the department. A few days afterwards, at six o'clock in the morning, he was seen in the street by Santa Lucia, who instantly raised his gun and shot him dead. At the report of the gun the neighbours assembled in considerable numbers, and surrounded the murderer, but with great coolness he drew forth his stiletto, and threatened to stab the first who should venture to lay hands on him. The crowd opened a passage for him, and he retreated quietly through the streets. As he passed by a post of custom-house soldiers, he was summoned to surrender. " Come and take me," said he, concealing his stiletto. A soldier having at• tempted to seize him, he again drew out his stiletto and stabbed the man in three places. He then continued his route, and two soldiers without their muskets having ventured to follow him, he discharged his carbine at them, but fortunately without wounding them, and then, having again reloaded, rapidly disappeared in the country." The Journal de Rotten relates that on Wednesday last, while Mlle. Ernestine Jobey, a young lady 21 years of age, was bathing in company with Mme. Bizet de Cantelou, in the Seine, near the Cote de Deux Amans, she suddenly sunk in a hole, at least 18 feet deep. At the moment of sinking she caught the hand of Mrne. Bizet, but soon lost her presence of mind, relinquished her hold, and went to the bottom. Every exertion was made to recover her, but an hour and a half elapsed before she could be brought to the surface, and then, of course, life bad fled for ever.  THE GuAans.—The third battalion of Grenadier Guards, now quartered at Manchester, in consequence of the restoration of tranquillity there, is expected to return to town in a fortnight. The annual half-yearly change of quarters is fixed for to-day, when the first battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards is expected to move to St. George's Barracks, and the second battalion to the Tower ; the first battalion of the Coldstream Guards to St. John's-wood and Kensington ; and the first battalion of the Grenadiers to Portman-street. The third battalion of G renadiers, on their return to town, will move to Wellington Barracks.
