-Mil* ?Ji UIIIL1?LIM-i?L.J Jl Li According to the Pans correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce, Lord Brougham has been making quite a sensation in one of the French Oourts of L?w. The writer says: Wo learn from Cannes (South of France) where Lord Brougham's Castle is situated, that some of his legal rights having been contested, Jio Appeared in person, before the Civil Court, to plead his cause in the French language. 'The Cicero of England,' Ravs the letter,'had n brilliant audience, and shone by his vivacity, ability, professional skill, and the elegance of his French style. He electrified his hearers, the lawyers and visitors, including all the fashionable British . at and near Ci.wnes, crowded about him j when he Jmd done, to otler their congratulation and homage. The luck of witnessing such a display of powers is rare for a provincial court.' SHie noble Lord astonished the Bench and the Bar, particularly by the grand dissertation into which he launched, on thu nature and sacred rights of property. All this is so exactly ihc i x-Chancellor. May he live a thousand years, and certainly he will never reach t::e age at which ordinary men like ourselves, live only to recollect what has happened, and to learn what happens ?how the world goes, lie will never ceare whilo lie breathes, to be a spoke in the wheel, every where Preach of Promise ofMarriaok.? Fifty-four and Twenty-four.?Sergeant Sliee moved in the Court of Exchequer lately, tora new trial in the case of Adams vs Gibbs, tried at J/aidstone, before Chief Justice Wilde, on the ground ! of misdirection and excessive damages. Mr. Gibbs, a farmer, aged fifty-four, sought Miss Adams, aged twenty-four, in marriage. All th? preliminaries were arranged, wedding dresses bought, and even the wedding breakfast ordered, when the defendant suddenly set off to Liverpool, and subsequently to America. Ser geant Shee contended that the damages, ?800, were excessive. The defendant vras ready to pay handsomely for his refusal to marry the plaintiff, but . 800 was far too much. What loss had the plaintiff sustained? There was no interesting correspondence, no sentimental courtship, no broken heart, or anything of that sort. (Laughter.) What had been the loss of this young lady? ^he j had lost a husband of fifty-four. Why i l ?r... i? wnutnuu t\ man ui uity-ium lu uu uiiu a young wife of twenty-four? Nothingnt | all. She would be much better without I him (Laughter.) Sir F. Pollock?It is very well for you, Brother Sheo, who nre under fifty, to say that; but I can assure you that m-?n far advanced beyond that age, ?^metiniG^ think differently.

Lopez.?Is a Venezuelan, notja Peruvian, by birth, and according to a very inflated biographical sketch, which appears to have been written by the same person who produces his proclamations, he has performed some extraordinary things in his time. Originally he was bred a merchant, but he took part with Bolivar in the civil disturbances which ended in the expulsion of the Span iards, nnd was ft Colonel at twenty-three, lie took up his residence in Cuba in 1823. Being in Spain during the Carlis(t troubles, he distinguished himself on the Government sirle, nnd was first j'lid-de-Camp to the Commander-in-Chief, Gen. Valdez. He was for a time Commander-in Chief of the National Guard of ?pain, jind suhsanuentlv Commander-in-Ohief of several Provinces; was afterwards Governor of Madrid, and /Senator from the City of Seville. It is said that he maintained liberal Democratic principles throughout his career. He is now fifty years old, and his disgust of Spanish rule arises from the expulsion of the Cuban deputies from the Cortes. Mrts. Dk Kuoyft.?Tlic exertions of tliii Mind lady, by tlic sale of her book, 4 A Placo in thy il/emory,' to secure herself a support, promises to be eminently successful. Since she left our city in January last, for the South, she has disp,edof two editions, with the proceeds of which she has pnid (he cost of their publication, and purchased the stereotype plates, from which new issue?, with comparatively little expense, can he printed to meet the public demand. She speaks with grateful enthusiasm of the warm hospitality extended to her at the (South, and uses no Moderation in dcscrl bing tho cordiality of tho Southern la dies, averring it to paragon even that o Northern gentlemen. The two, she says are worthy of each other, anil ought tc live together. Mr*. De Kroyfthas published a thirc edition of 'A Place in thy Memory,' o which every copy that is sold will add i stone to the walls of a rum! cottage, ir which, it is to be hoped site may, during the remainder of her days, forget iho mis fortunes of tl.o past, in the comforts and enjoyments of the present.?Jour.

She died, and I married a fifth, lived with her between two and threo years, but had no children; I don't know Dut what she is in heaven: I nerer asked her where slit. was going. I married a sixth wife at ylsa YVcntworth's house, in Manchester, about six years ago. It appears that his fifth wife, of whom he 'don't know but she had gone to heaven,' had been gone three years, without his having heard from her, when lie married the last one. Ladies Riding Across tukIstmus.? A late letter from one of the Crescent Oity's passengers, in giving nn account of the progress over tho isthmus, says: "The six ladies and six children all had trousers cn. The ladies rode their horses man-fashion, while the children were carried on the backs of natives; and all came through in safely. Mrs. McSpadding's horse fell, but she was pre{)ared for him, and gave a spring o ver lis lieid, and landed snfeon terra lirnia. Mrs. Norris's horse also foil down, but she was prepare"' and hung on the mouth of the saddle. As the ladies passed through town the whoJe company of Americuns cheered them. Affkctino Incident*?-Thft case of Mr. Arclitr Brackney, ono of the passengers on boarp the steamer Wayne, at the time of the explosion, is of thrilling interest. lie was going from Lafayette, In., to Philadelphia, with the remains of his wife and child, recently deceased. Both of the corpscs were inclosed in one box. When the explosion look place he succeeded in dragging his two living chil dren from their rooms, and with them plunge into the water. After swimming around for a short time he came in contact with the box containing his wife and child. Upon this he succeeded some time in keeping himself and children from drowning, although every wave would roA\ (vail aupport and plunge them in the water, until at last his little boy, two | years old, was drowned in his arms. Af i tor becoming satified that his boy was I dead, he reluctantly parted with the I body, and turned his attention to the rescue of the remaining child, who was cling ing around liU neck, crying, 'I'apn, avc shall drown!' lie finally succeeded in gaining the fl nting part of the wreck, with his little daughter, and both were 1 i suvfcu. MurdKr of a Bishop.?Bishop JnnI son, Bishop of the Swedes Colony, Henry j County, Illinois, was shot dead on the , 13th inst. by a man nrmed Root, who had a previous quarrel with the Bishop in relation to the wife of Root. Janson was standing in the court room during the adjournment of the court, when Root entered, drew a pistol, and fired with fatal precision. The murderer was arrested and committed for trial. Another torpedo case is mentioned in j the New York papers. A gentleman : whose porson had been threatened with ! violence, received mysteriously a neat looking box, which he prudently refrained f.ioin opening, and deposited in the bands of the police. The police poured water upon it, as a matter of precaution before opening it. When it was opened there wore two likenesses oftwo^ood looking female cousins of the gentleman, nearlv ruined hv tlio wntcr A virdonf 'explosion followed, but it was oroof , laughter. j Tiir Southern Onoxs.?Mr De Leon 1 of the Columbia Telegraph, (it is ;wud by the N.
