There is one, however, of an inter esting nature, which being indisputably autlienti, we have much pleasure in recording. In the cloisters of St. George's Chapel. Windsor, there is a tablet, which was erected by his Majesty's command, about four months after the commencement of his illness; at a time when the weekly bulletin of the Physicians was, " His Majesty proceeds favourably in his recovery " The Inscription placed on the tablet by the King's direction, is as follows : KING GEORGE the THIRD caused to be interred near this place the body of MARL - GAS .

THE KING V. JOSEPH AND SAMUEL MOATE.—ThiII was au inthrmation by the Commissioners of Excise, against the defendants who are concerned in an extensive soap work at Knightsbridge. The information was laid under the 47. Geo 111. chap. 31. Sec. 7. which states, that, if any maker of hard soap shall not cut his soap into cakes or bars, out of the frames, 14 ithiN Ris floors atter it has been ',mired into them, he shall forfeit for every such offence, the sum of fifty putimis. Mr. Waleot counsel for the prosecution, culled Kobi rt Cole, an Eseise Officer, who deposed that, on Sunday the I:Ws July last, the delimil.ints had a boiling of soap ready, and that before ten o'clock on that day, it was poured into foot frames. On the 21st of the same months at 6 o'clock in the morning, the SOAP in one of these frames, remained anent. It had therefore hero in the Frame 189 hours, instead of 168 as limited by the Act. J. Crooks, another Excise Officer deposed to the same effect. Mr. Andrews, for the defendants, after cross examining. the Witnesses objected that the opposite side had failed to prove, that, the defendants actually were, " Makers of Hard Soap," on the day laid in the inforniation. The Nlagistrates held this objection good; and acquitted the defendants. CitAxtoLoor.—in one of the last sittings of the Academy at Rome, M. GM. Fort.

Gall, Ist, That it was contrary to Physiology; Qd, That the principle of it was fidse, erroneous, tend ing to materialism and finalisin, destructive of the li berty of man, and derogatory to the dignity of the hu man race, which, according to Dr. Gall, differs from brutes only in an accidental physical conformation.— The Diario di Roma says, that all this was proved by reasonings equally convincing and eloquent. This will doubtless surprise Dr. Gall, whose system, as he asserts, no more tends tomaterialism;than that of the very re- Fghius Lavaiter, who, it 11111 V he presumed, never thought Of ranking himself in the class of brutes. As in consequence of a late event at Boulogne, an opinion is generalize entertained that persons cannot be arrested in France for debts contracted out of that country, unless on a judgment obtained against them, the following iufbrmation has been received from the President of the Tribunal of Commerce at Calais:— • - (70 PC OF TO E F.SI DENT'S I. ETT F No person can he arrested in France fir a debt contracted nut of that country, although it is acknowledged to be due by the debtor therein, nor would evidence to that efe....ct be of any avail before the* Tribunal. But if a Bill of Exchange csn be obtained trom the debtor in France, and indorsed to a French House, and regularly protested, the debtor might be ;armed upon that Bill, as it would then become a mercantile transaction. (Signed) -" M. AIOURON." A person assuming the name of Captain Wallace, and stating himself to be one of the first fatuities in Scotland, has just been tried at the Court of Assizes at Paris.

He was pursued to Boulogne, and threatened to be arrested, and was there accused of having stolen three napkins and a brush He was taken hack to Paris, where he was acquitted. This is probably the "soi-disant," Cap tain Wallace, better known than trusted, in the pur lieus of St. Jame's and Jermyn-street. It is said that the military establishment of the king dom of tlx Netherlands, is to be raised before the mid dle of next month, to 88,000 effective troops.
