The Other Day A Young Frenchman Who Had ...
¦ wa s the favourite of everybody in the hotel . A few days ago he arrived and was received with pleasure by all ; but it was observed that he was much less gay than usual . The stories that he told , instead of being interesting as formerly , were of a lugubrious character . On Thursday evening , after supper , he invited the people of the hotel to go to his chamber to take coffee , and he promised to tell them a tale full of dramatic incident . On entering the room his guests saw on the bed , near which he seated himself , a pair of pistols . ' My story , ' said he , ' has a sad denouement , and I require the pistols to make it clearly understood . As he had always been accustomed , in telling his tales , to indulge in expressive pantomime , and to take up anything which lay handy calculated ^ to add to the effect , no surprise was felt at his having prepared pistols . He began by narrating the loves of a young girl and a young man . They had both , he said ,
promised under the most solemn oaths inviolable fidelity . The young man , whose profession obliged him to travel , once made a long absence . While he was away he received a legacy , and on his return hastened to place it at her feet . But , on presenting himself before her he learned that , in compliance with the wishes of her family , she had just married a wealthy merchant . Theyoung man thereupon took a terrible resolution . He purchased a pair of pistols like these , ' he continued , taking one in each hand ; ' then he assembled his friends in his chamber , and after gome conversation placed one under his chin , in this way as I do , saying in a joke that it would be a real pleasure to blow out his brains . And at the same moment he pulled the trigger . ' Here the man discharged the pistol , and his head was shattered to pieces . Pieces of the bone and portions of the brain fell on the horrified spectators . The unfortunate man had told his own story . "

Gossip Rumour, Diplomatically Availing H...
Gossip rumour , diplomatically availing herself of the columns of the Sherborne Journal , will have it that Lord Palmerston is to be invited to dine with the electors of Tiverton , and that , in an after-dinner speech , he is to defend Ministers , explain their programme for " next session , " and electrify the public with all sorts of liberalisms . In 1841 , the cause of Free-trade fell into the hands of Lord Palmerston , Protectionists ; it seems likely that , in 1852 , Lord John Russell will rely for his fighting general upon Palmerston , the " Liberal" Minister of Tory convie t . on -I
Re presentations have been made to Lord Palmerston by the Manchester Commercial Association respecting the unsatisfactory state of our relations with Brazil , and requesting immediate inquiry into the alleged grievances . They held a meeting on Thursday and agreed to a letter to be addressed to Lord Palmerston , the pith of which is contained in the following paragraph : — " The association learns that feelings of the greatest exasperation against the British Government prevail in the Brazilian Legislature , and amongst the people at larce , in consequence of certain alleged acts of injustice
inflicted by our cruisers upon subjects of that State , by the seizure and destruction of their shipping engaged in legitimate commerce , and by the confiscation of their cargoes without due legal investigation ; and that a law had been passed by a majority of 79 to 15 in the Lower Houee of Representatives , empowering the Government to place the coasting trade under the flag of some more powerful nation ; a mode of proceeding which , it is feared , maybe still further extended , to the incalculable injury of British commerce , should a similar course of what they assert to be unprovoked aggression on the part of Great Britain beany longer persevered in . "
It Is Quite Obvious That Spain Is Terrib...
It is quite obvious that Spain is terribly enraged with the Yankees . Talk of war is rife in the streets of Madrid , lteinforcements are to be sent out forthwith ; and the steam navy increased . The temper of the people may be imagined from tlxe fact that the Ministerial organ , the Orden , intimates that it is intended to adopt a very energetic course of action towards the United States , with respect to this subject , both as regards the enlistments allowed to go on there , and the insults offered to the Spanish consul at New Orleans . It says on the latter subject : —
" If the invad * is of Cuba have been exterminated with valour , the ill conduct of the dwellers of New Orleans shall bo equally repressed . There is too much patriotism in the blood of the Spanish people , there is too much tact in the thoughts of the advisers of their Queen , there is too much right in all the acts that circumstances prescribe , for us not to expect a moral victory , in whatever reclamations an ; undertaken , that they may be a worthy successor of the material victory obtained by the army and the faithful inlanders . There is not a single humiliation in our history of twelve centuries , nor shall there be one in the history of the nineteenth century . Let the ambitious traffickers of North America thus understand it . "
Public meetings were suggested both by the Epoca and the Nacion , as a means of expressing in a striking fashion the prevailing feeding . The stars and the stripes may float in the bay of Cadiz yet ! The Eot ' nemciil , having been suspended for a month , and having four of its editorial staft in prison , ceased to appear on the l ! Mh instant . But to fill the chasms in tin : ranks of the Democracy soldiers are never wanting . In the course ; of twenty-four hours Auguste Vacquerie bad obtained ' 21 , 000 francs , deposited the caution
money at the I rrasury , organized a . staff of editors , arranged for type , printers , paper , and publisher , and , not withstanding every conceivable obstacle thrown in bin way by the ( loverninent official , he with inconceivable rapidity got through all the necessary preliminary arrangements for a new paper . It appeared on the evening of ( he day on which the I'Jvent ) - mevt was mijiprc . ised , under the . ' striking title , of the " Avinetm . nt du 1 'euplc " — or , " Acccssionofthe People !" Yes ; in 1 H 62 .
The Voss Gazette , under date of Hanover lifh says : — " It is said that the police have found com promising letters from London , but witho ut a n f mark , at the house of a leather merchant and th agent of the benefit fund for the refugees , who ha not been able in a satisfactory manner to account ftf the reception of them . It was this circumstance wTiich excited suspicions against the courier Feise and led to his arrest . Letters were found on him which compromised several persons . " M . le Docteur Veron publishes every now and again , a kind of essay called " Les Demenageruens Politique » " in the Constitutionnel . His latest con . tained a dissection of one of his old friends , Duyeil gier de Hauranne . Take a specimen : —
" You do not know M . Duvergier de Hauranne " he says . " You never were . in the Government , or in opposition with him . He is the man who ascends your staircase the oftenest ; who puts your bells out of order who wears out your carpet ; who thrusts his feet into your slippers ; who interrupts you b y entering your apartment when you are most occupied , and witho ut being announced . When you are just sitting at table in he comes ; when you are going to bed , there he is ' when you awake in the morning , the first face you behold is his ! "
The Local Committee Of The Great Exhibit...
The Local Committee of the Great Exhibition at Boltoa met on the 17 th , Mr . Robert Heywood in the chair , and passed a series of resolutions addressed to the Royal Commissioners . They propose that a column and statue should be erected to Prince Albert on the site of the Crystal Palace , in bronze or other metal , and in civic costume ; that , supposing the building is removed , so much of its materials maybe bought as will suffice to erect an edifice for the reception of all descriptions of records of the Exposition , to be opened free to the public ; and that a monolithic block of granite be set up at each corner of the present site of the Crystal Palace , to mark that site and its dimensions , inscribed with the fullest information of the rise , progress , and success of the Expo * sition itself .
The event of the day ' s racing yesterday at Doncaster was the Cup race . Seven horses started . The betting was even on the Maid of Masham , and 5 to 2 against The Ban and Black Doctor . Lough Bawn took the lead at starting , and at the stand was leading about twenty lengths , followed by Vatican , Mrs . Birch , and Maid of Masharn , the Black Doctor sixth , and The Ban last . They travelled in this order at a strong pace to the hill , where the running was taken up by Vatican , who went on with it , having the Maid of Masham and Mrs . Birch in his track to the bend . Maid of Masham thfn went in
advance , waited on by the Black Doctor and The Ban , who caught her at the distance , and went on singled out to the end , The Ban winning easily by two lengths , Maid of Masham , who broke down , a bad third . Run in four minutes forty-one seconds . The Ban carried seven stone , and was ridden by Arnold . On returning to scale , the trainer of the Black Doctor objected to the winner , on the ground that Sir Joseph Hawley ran two horses in the race ( Vatican , who ran as Sir Joseph Hawley's property in the £ 70 Plate , was stated to have been sold to Mr . Morris before this race was run , and ran in his colours ) . The case had not been gone into when we left Doncaster .
The Lady Franklin , commanded by Captain Penny , arrived at Woolwich on the afternoon of the 18 th , and was brought up at moorings alongside the Salsetto receiving ship , opposite the dockyard , and the Sophia , her sister vessel , is daily expected at that port . Hie Lady Franklin has come home in excellent condition , with as healthy and robust a crew as ever sailed in any region , and without a single complaint among the men on board , except that they cannot now eat so much meat as they used to do , iheir appetites having greatly abaieu wince they left the Orkneys for Woolwich , bhe bnngs home some relics of the Arctic expedition found at capt
