THE HotnERNESSE House Jon.—It is stated, apparently on authority, that the noble Marquis did not strike the nurse, but merely used the means, when remonstrance failed, of endeavouring to force from her a portion of the Queen's gratuity, given her for distribution amongst the other servants. Her Majesty left 45/. in an envelope, on which was written, " For the nursery of the Marchioness of Londonderry." 15/. were given to the nurse, and 151. to distribute amongst the nursery servants, the remainder being retained by the Marchioness for distribution. The nurse insisted on keeping the 30/. for herself, which led to the noble Lord's interference. She ultimately gave up the 151. and quitted the house.— Times.

The King should give him a Marshal's baton, were it only as a memorial of his endurance.

Kemble, who had been for some time at the University of Gottingen, has placed himself in such a perilous situation as to endanger his life, in consequence of joining. with twelve brother students, the Revolutionists at Cadiz. The whole party, it is said, were amongst those who had the misfortune to fall into the hands of the Government, and have been formally tried and condemned. Mr. C. Kemble is in Paris, and it was stated that the cause of his journey was to endeavour to procure intercession for Isis son ; this is, however, a mistake —he is there professionally.

"SOME ARE FULL OF LOVE ma-nen, AND SOME ARE PULL OF BRANDY."— A young lady of good connexions and of some fortune, residing near Edinburgh, is about to resign herself in marriage to a Jew cobler, who has lately been baptized. The lady has been drinking deep in the Row heresy, and has had visions and revelations. In one or more of these, as she gives out, she has had an assurance that it is her duty to marry this man, of whom nobody knows any thing. The Jew acquiesces in the vision. In the learned town of Edinburgh, fifty-three young misses, seventeen full-grown maidens, one or two wives, and a few gentlemen, are followers of the new sect. They have doomed the city already; but whether it is to perish by fire or water, is not yet determined.

place, O'Connellmore will have the support of several members of his own family in the ensuing Parliament. In addition to Waterford and Clare, for which the Liberator and Maurice now sit, his brother John will be up for Kerry, and his brother James for Tralee, in which borough he has succeeded in securing a majority of votes. Christophero Fitzimon, the happy father of the Liberator's grand-children, will represent the

heroes of Garryowen ; and Cornet Morgan—not he of the " Noctes,r but of the Imperial Hungarian Hussars, who has been here some months on leave—intends to abandon the service of the Austrian despot, shave his upper lip, and, with the assistance of the freeholders of Drogheda, try his hand at franking ! On Wednesday next, in the metropolitan church of the Conception, the Liberator's amiable and accomplished daughter, Elizabeth, will exchange her ancient patronymic for that of French. The Conciliation badges of orange and green will be used on this happy occasion, instead of the ancient nuptial favours of white ribands, &c. Immediately after the honeymoon, a Western county will have the honour of returning this French representative to the Imperial Parliament. Mr. Finn, the brother-in-law, and Mr. Ronayne, the con.sin of the Liberator, are also canvassing, and places are already bespoken for the chieftain's sons and grandsons on attaining their majority. After this, ye Roses, ye Bathursts, ye Lowthers, ye Clintons, ye Dundases, ye Peels, and ye Wellesleys, hide your diminished heads !—Morning Herald.
