EXTRACTS.
———

    THE CHOLERA has penetrated into Upper Italy, and is daily expected to visit Milan. The French Princes have, in consequence, given up their visit to Italy.

    THE REV Mr Campbell, is to be presented by the Crown to the Church of Glen Leven, vacant by the transition of his brother, the Rev D Campbell, to Inverness.

    PURCELL, a bailiff, was surrounded, we understand, a few days who, by a crowd of women and children and stripped naked, being first obliged to make a meal of the writs.—Kilkenny Journal.

    A FAIR DAMSEL of seventeen, of a highly respectable family at Aire, in the Pas de Calais, appeared on Sunday the 5th instant, as the representative of the Virgin Mary, in the procession of the Fete Dieu. She was, however, soon tired of her character, for she eloped the same evening with an officer of the 4th regiment of Cuirassiers.

    IT CANNOT fail to be acceptable to English travellers, especially those who contemplate a visit to Aix-la-Chapelle, to know that the authorities have at length liberally yielded to the wishes of the British residents in that interesting city, by sanctioning the appropriation of the German Protestant Chapel to the Church of England service, which was performed, for the first time, on Sunday the 5th instant, by the excellent and esteemed pastor of the English congregation, the Rev Mr Davies. It is only due to Sir John R Whitefoord, who has resided in this city for several years, to state, that to his exertions and influence this valuable concession, so honorable to the President and Regency of Aix, is attributable.

    GAMBLING SECURITIES.—It does not appear to be generally known that the old Acts respecting gambling securities have been repealed. Our attention has been drawn to this by the decision of the Court in two actions recently tried, the one “Hitchcock v. Way,” the other “Bond v. Storer,” where both pleaded gambling. It appears that as the law now stands, if a note, bill, bond, or draft be given, and it is passed into the hands of a third person, that person can recover, and the defendant must seek his remedy from the party to whom the billwas originally given.

    THE first double sheet of an American newspaper arrived here lately. It was called the New York Enquirer, and contains a superficies of 2,376 inches, and 2,074 advertisements.
