A munificent donation has been recently made to the University of France by a lady of fortune named Beaumont; who lots given 50,oto francs for the foundation of medals to be awarded to students in the faculty of Law at Paris.

lYte amusing and wicked Charivari is most unmerciful in its wit to iii. Thiess for submitting so quietly to the warlike acts of the four Allies, idler threatening so loudly before they commenced operations. The Outriettei draws a parallel between the conduct of the French Minister in this flintier and that of Pierrot after he has been warned by Searomouch-

We remember an tunusing scene, in which Scararnouch warns Pierrot that narlequin is too great with his wife. "Mut-then!" cries Pierrot, "is what you tell me trite, neighbour ? " "Upon the word of Ir1earamoueli," "Sarerlotte! flow du you know it ? " " He has long been fluttering about her, and is with her every evening. when you go out to make bread at the baker's, Cassandre's. And, what's inure, ha has succeeded."

"Christie ! lie has succeeded, do you say? "

"I mean ta soy that he is on the paint of succeeding. She has promised to receive hint tkis, evening in her chamber, when they will walk into a bottle of your old wine."
