NOV. B.—The Police of Paris—which is, perhaps, politically, the best, and civilly the worst in Europe—has been very busy for the last few weeks in seizures of prints and hooka, winch accord unhappyly with the present system of Go.' vernmont. A poor printseller, upon whose premises were i found some copes of " Apotheosis de Nardeva," has been denounced, and will probably undergo a conhnement of twelve months for the sale of a picture which merely re. presents the grave of. Napoleon -; and an Agent d'Affitiree, m the Rue ,St. Augustin, has had all his effects seized beeause there was. in one of his rooms a colossal bust of Buonaparte, which had been sent to hint for private sale.— I know not upon what law or principle this man's pro. perty has been seized, but the effect is his ruin. When I say that the Police of Paris is• only politically severe, I am not speaking falsely. In no capital on earth are so many murders and robberies perpetrated with impunity. It would be a fair calculation, indeed, to say, that at least twenty per. Sons are murdered In Paris annually, whose bodies are dia., covered anti exposed on the ream tie, but whose death remains unavengcd by the apprehension and punishment of the min... tiers. Speaking of this morgue, which has been so much praised by some English travellers. I must say that there cannot be a more filthy, disgusting, or immoral exhibition.— There is now a new System of tuition in music in Paris, which is all the rage. A. M. Sudre teaches what he calls a musical language, which is applicable to every instrument. Pertains of all nations may converse with each other in music in this. Way; Without.the trouble of Yearning to speak a language. In one of Mr. S.'s recent courses, a 'lurk, upon the flute, con. versed for half an hour with a Frenchman, who played the fiddle. The latier, of course, knew the Turkish language upon principle, but not n•word could he speak. This system may be very useful, if generally adopted amongst well.informed musical, persons in Europe, because we know it is easy to learn sufficiently of a language to form phrases in the course of a very feW months, but that it requires years to be able to utter them correctly or agreeably.  MELANctroLY Sinewatcx.—We have collected the following particulars of the loss of the ship Morreston, an event which has left several of our fellow-citizens in the deepest affliction :—The Morreston, which was built by Edward Joinder, Esq., of Kinsale, left this harbour on the morn. ing of Tuesday the 20th ult., with a cargo of pigs ; a crew consisting of the captain, pilot, four seamen, anti a boy, and seven passengers.' She was accompanied by the George the Fourth steam-packet for the entire of that day, the wind and weather favourable; but wanting stern-sails, she was unable to keep up with the George the Fourth, 'or the melancholy catas. throphe which we are about to relate might have been avoided, as she would have reached Newport before the storm commence ed. Captain Brown, of the steam-packet, describes the gale as the most tremendous that was ever experienced in the navi. gation between Cork and Bristol. The lightat Lundy Island, which the Morreston had passed, could not be seen at 200 yards distance. Tice Morreston was bearing away for Cork, when she was blown right on the island,and at a distance of not more than 20 yards.from the abore,at ten p. m. she struck. The scene which ensued cannot be described. One of the survivors has strived in this city: he is the pilot, and a native of Paesage: Ile stater that four persons only came on shore, one of whom died immediately. The Captain and boy remain at Lundy Island, and this mart came over in the Marquis of ihiglisea packet. The manner in which his life was preserved is providential : he had clung to a plank, and was nearly washed ofit several times, but still held on, while another person whom • he could not distinguish, and who held, also by it, was struck ofr and met a watery grave.—Among the passengers, we have' to lament Mr. Samuel J. Newsom, of Patrick-street, who has left a wife and a large family to mourn his death.—.We have also to add the name of Mr. Edward Cleburne, son to Mr. Cleburne. This young gentleman acted for sometime as Librarian to the Cork Institution.—( Cork Paper.)
