The official print states that the axletree of Louis-Philippe's carriage broke whilst he and his sister, Madame Adelaide, were inside, but that the royal party found no difficulty whatever in alighting and getting into another carriage, which contained some of the King's suite. Pa STABBING AT SEA-George Washington, a man of colour, and a youth named Raven, on Thursday last were fully committed for trial from the Thames police office, after lengthened examination, the former charged with stabbing with intent to murder, and the latter with stabbing, fatally, two of their shipmates, on the high seas, on board the ship Kingston, from Jamaica. SINGULAR CRIME.-A very singular trial took place in A woman was found guilty of Cork, on Friday week. offering to sell a child (which she had for some time supported out of charity), for the avowed purpose of dissection. The medical man to whom she made the very extraordinary offer arranged a second interview, at which he had a police man concealed. She entered again deliberately upon the bargain; whereupon she was taken into custody. It appears that she was perfectly sober, but she had made the unfortunate child drunk, and when it became alarmed and cried, she urged the doctor to give him something at once that would settle him, telling the poor creature that the gentleman would give him something sweet. She was found guilty, Death is the penalty provided by the statute. The judge. however, held out hopes of mercy.

Alexander Nelson Hood, only son of Viscount Bridport, to Lady Mary Penelope Hill, second daughter of the Marquis of Downshire. At the conclusion of the ceremony the bride and bridegroom left town in a carriage and four for Easthampstead Park, Berks, where they will pass the boney moon. The wedding party then repaired to the mansion of the Noble Marquis, in Hanover square, where a sumptuous dejeune awaited their arrival. Several toasts were drunk, among others the health of the Duke of Wellington (who was present), when Viscount Hood briefly and appropriately alluded to the happy connection of the naval and military glories of this country in the names of Nelson, Hood, and Bridport, new alied with those of the illustrious Duke and his gallant companions in arms, Lords Hill and Combermere. DEATHS. On the 16th ult. at Paris, suddenly, our late worthy representative in Parliament, Benjamin Lester Lester, Esq., of Leeson House. From the year 1809 to 1835, the long period of 26 years (without the intermission of a single sessiou), he most ably and independently represented this town in Parliament, paying the utmost attention to all its commercial and other interests, and ever ready to attend to the applications and petitions of the humblest individual, and indefatigable in forwarding them so far as compatible with his duty.-Dorset Chronicle. On the 8th of January, at Curaçoa, on his return to his native country, after 17 years' absence, his Excellency Baron van Heekeren, who has been for a long series of years governor of the Dutch West Indian colonies. On Thursday, at Sir H. Fleetwood's house in the Regent's Park, the hon. baronet's only surviving child; she was an interesting girl, in the 11th year of her age.

He was born at Smyrna, in Asia Minor, brought over to England at an early age, and placed at a boarding school in Yorkshire. He afterwards occupied the situation of usher in a school at Catterick, after which be entered holy orders, and commenced the period of those sacred duties which his subsequent life has so much adorned.-Tyne Mercury. 80th Foot-Ensign C.

Her remains were deposited in the family vault at Teachbrooke, Warwickshire, on Tuesday week; her two brothers attended as chief mourners.-Globe. Lately, at Rouen, Madame Letourneur, the widow of the conventionalist of that name, and one of the first five members and esprit, and exercised much influence in public affairs of the Directory. She had been remarkable for her beauty while her husband was in office. She powerfully supported Napoleon after the 10th Vendemiaire, and was accessary to his obtaining the chief command of the army of Italy. The Princess Mihrmah, second daughter of the Sultan, and wife of Sayeed Pacha, died a few days since. She was in the family way, and had been ailing for some time, but was not supposed to be in danger until the day previous to her decease. Other physicians, besides her usual medical attendant, were then called in, but it was too late. Her disorder seems to have assumed finally the form of a brain fever. She was married two years ago, and appears to have injured her health by tampering with her constitution, for she feared having children, whose existence might have been unpleasant to her imperial father. Turkish women in general are much in this habit, and this is one of the grand reasons why the Ottoman population cious tendency of polygamy, which gives to the man a great is so fast disappearing. The reason of this practice is the vifacility for divorcing his wives, who, in case they have children, find it difficult to get married again. Some of them in ten years have been the inmates of as many harems, and have no families whatever.-Letter from Constantinople. M. Gravatt and H. M'Dermott, Great Russell street, linen- the Hon. William Curzon, who was of his own age, and who fell covered with wounds at Waterloo, whilst aid de-campo the Prince of Orange. It is enough to show that Colonel Dumaresq was no common person to say that, without powerful connections, or other patronage than of his own creating, he reached the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, without purchase, before he was 25 years of age. The first patron he had was the Marquis Camden, and the whole transaction does honour to our nature. His Lordship's nephew, Captain James, on the Adjutant-General's staff, was shot through the body and both thighs in mounting the terrible breach of Badajos, from which he fell into the water of the ditch. Young Dumaresq had afterwards an opportunity of showing his wounded friend kindness; poor James found a soldier's grave; but the grateful uncle never forgot the kindness of the friend. He afterwards drew the attention and experienced marks of notice and favour from the illutrious Chief himself. The Duke of Wellington honoured him with his countenance and friendship, and at the peace be was at his table with social parties at Apsley Hoth Cheltenham, and other places. He was in all the great affairs of the Peninsula, sometimes on the staff, in which capacity he served at Waterloo, where he was badly wounded, and carried with him to the grave the Frenchman's ball. After he had received it be continued on horseback and communicated with the Duke with regard to some ontposts. His Grace, seeing him look pale and sinking, touched him on the shoulder, saying You are wounded, my boy; go in the rear.' He afterwards served on Sir Lowry Cole's staff, when Governor of the Cape. General Darling, who, as Governor of New South Wales, fixed much of public attention, married his sister, and Colonel Dumaresq served in that distant colony as military secretary and aid-de-camp. He had before served on General Sir John Byng's staff in Yorkshire. In the colony he purchased property, and embarked in farming speculations. He returned to England on business connected with the charges against his brother-in-law; no one could explain them better. Here he married, and went back to the colony, when, after some time, he had an attack of paralysis, from which, however, he appeared to recover, and upon Sir Edward Parry accepting his pension, and retiring from the management of the affairs of the Australian Company, Colonel Dumaresq was appointed his successor. He administered the affairs ably, and to the eutire satisfaction of the company; but the snake was scotched, not killed, for on the 5th of March last he was again attacked with paralysis; he was found speechless in his bed, and expired on the following morning. Thus fell this gallant soldier. And if it be true, and there appears to be no doubt, that the movement of the ball caused the paralysis, he may be truly said to have been killed at Waterloo, though he died on the other side of the globe, and 23 years after the mighty battle. He has left a sorrowing and amiable wife and mother, and seven children; and he has left sorrowing friends in every part of the globe." A few days ago, at Radford, Nottinghamshire, in the 64th year of his age, John Chettle, one of the persons tried for frame-breaking in the year 1816. It is a well known fact that during the trial of Chettle numbers of men who actually broke the frames assembled in the hall, armed, with the intention to destroy both judge and jury in case of the verdict going against the prisoner; he was, however, acquitted; and, after his Majesty's pardon had been granted, the real offenders solemnly declared that Chettle never had any concern whatever in the outrages for which he had been tried. At Stallingborough, York, aged 97, Mrs Jane Skelton. She was able to milk cows up to last year. Lately, at Sundon, Beds, aged 102, Mary Worker. A few days since, in the union house at Maresfield, at the age of 51, George Watson, well known as the Sussex calculator. His death was accelerated by his obstinacy during the late severe winter, in leaving the house and sleeping in barns, &c. George, who was an idiot in all things relating to common occurrences, was a self taught calculator of the first class, and as such was known in many parts of the kingdom. The powers of his memory were astonishing. He could state accurately where he had been on any day for the last thirty years, what persons he saw, and what he was about. He lived for many years with an uncle in Buxted, who was a farmer, and he would recount the quantity of live stock bred during the whole time he lived with him, to whom they were sold, and the price they fetched. He has been often asked to state on what day of the year Easter Sunday was for a century past, and has never been wrong in his answers. The birth-days and ages of all the individuals among George's acquaintance were as well known to him as to themselves, and he has often raised a laugh against single ladies of a certain age, by stating the day of their birth in company. But one of his favourite amusements was to recount the number of acres, amount of population, size of the church, and the weight of the tenor bell of every parish in the county, which he would do without making a mistake. It was the wish of some individuals well known to the poor fellow, and who took an interest in his behalf, to have assisted him; but his wandering habits were such, that to, fix him to any place was impossible, and from his idiotic obstinacy he had latterly contracted such dirty ways, that it was found the only place he could be taken in at was the workhouse, where he had been kindly treated until death put an end to his sufferings. Poor George will be long missed in the neighbourhood. Sussex Express. At Girvan, Scotland, aged 100, Ellen Develin.

He was one of the oldest Baltic captains in this port, and was engaged in the transport service for some years; he took part in the operations of embarking the troops at Corunna.-Tyne Mercury. The death of Joseph Friskin, at the age, it is believed, of 112 years, has created some sensation at Ceres. This remarkable person, who had in the course of his life seen the events which have made history rife with incident for three generations, con. tinued hale, vigorous, and active-minded, till within a few months of his demise. His age cannot be exactly ascertained, though a near approximation may be made to it. He was an African negro, the son and prospective heir of a chief. He uniformly stated that he was twenty years of age when he came to this country, and that he had been here before the Rebellion. This gives us a fixed epoch which he was by no means likely to have forgotten, and carries us back to the year 1726 as the period of his birth. He was domestic servant to Lord Lovat în 1745; and to his dying hour he gave the most vivid description of the blockade of Edinburgh. He continued with Lady Lovat after the execution of her husband, of which also he had a distinct remembrance. The next twenty years of his life contained few events of interest. He became a cook on board ship, and escaped from the Royal George when "brave Kempenfelt went down, with twice five hundred men," in 1782. He was the servant of Mr Ferguson, of Woodhill, when Sheriff of Fifeshire, and recollected the births of several "of the children," of whom the eldest is now the well known Mr Ferguson, of Fergustown, Upper Canada. Subsequently he served in divers places as his declining years and abilities permitted. Luckily for the peace and comfort of his closing days, one of those in whose house he had been a domestic were the Makgills of Kemback, who extended to him that kindness which with them is never awanting where sorrow, sickness, or indigence calls for its exercise. Joseph had been discovered by them in Edinburgh some years since in want of some friend to assist him. Immediately a place was provided, and a comfortable habitation secured for him at Woodburn, the then residence of Mrs Makgill. Here he spent, amidst all the comforts which kindness could bestow on him or he receive, the declining years of a most unusually protracted life. He died, after an illness of some weeks' duration, a fortnight since, and was at tended by all the family and their friends to the grave.-Fifeshire Journal. BRITISH INSTITUTION, PALLMALL.

"Sir,-Ever since your Howqua's Mixture Tea was first introduced to the public, myself and family have drank it-indeed only it and I have no hesitation in saying that I consider it superior to all others. I am, Sir, yours, &c. (Signed) "JAS. JOHNSON, M.D. "8 Suffolk place, Pallmall." The above copy of a letter, voluntarily addressed to Captain Pidding, the sole Proprietor of the only real and genuine "Howqua's Mixture," and Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder Teas, by Doctor James Johnson, the celebrated physican, author of numerous works on indigestion, &c., and Physician to his late Majesty, carries its arguments with it; for where a physician of such known eminence not only recommends to his numerous patients a particular tea, as superior to any other, but adds that he and his family consume it in preference to all others," it is impossible that additional proots of its superior excellence can strengthen such a recommendation. The most rigid economist will also find that " Howqua's Mixture" Tea, from its great strength, is cheaper at 6s. per lb. than any other Tea at 5s., or even 4s. per lb. The Teas consist of one kind of Black, "Howqua's Mixture" (of 40 rare Teas, all Black) at 6s. per lb., being 8s. the catty package; one kind of Green, "Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder," at 8s. 7 d. per lb., being 11s. 6d. the catty package.-Both are sold in Chinese catty packages, containing 1lb. and one-third, net of Tea, by C. Verrey (Swiss Confectioner), 218 Regent street, and T. Littlejohn and Son (Scotch Confectioners), 77 King William street, City; whose names, as the sole London Agents, are upon every genuine catty. This should be particularly observed, as the unexampled celebrity of these two Teas has induced many unprincipled grocers, tea-dealers, and others to attempt a fraud upon the public by offering sparious imitations of the packages.

My head was almost destitute of hair, when fortunately your Agents, Messrs Hopper and Co., recommended your Balm, which, I am proud to acknowledge, had the desired effect; for in a very short time my hair was perfectly restored, and it now is as thick as it ever was in my life.

If I could accomplish this great object, my Lords, I should consider no personal sacrifice, not even that of my life, too much (bear) and I can only hope to accomplish it by the cordial support of my noble friends below me, her Majesty's Ministers, which I feel sure that I shall meet, by the active co-operation of Parliament, which I expect to obtain, and by that generous forbearance on the part of the noble Lords opposite, to whom I have been opposed politically all my life, which I am induced to believe they will display towards me, from the candour which the noble and illustrious Duke has exhibited on this occasion, as on all other occasions where the public interests have been concerned." Upon this Lord Brougham blazed out in some truisms about constitutional vigilance Upon the question of the legality of the ordidance of the 28th of June the lawyers are divided in opinion, according to the side of the House on which they sit.

The point appears to us, at least, far more doubtful never expected that I should have heard in this house-the may have been the intention of Parliament in pass"I have never, my Lords, until this night heard, and I than the Chancellor would represent it.
