An into ligent. luaibeianan residing on the Restigoiiclie, well-known and highly iéspcitud in that quarter, has written us a clisracteristic lell'.‘t‘, descriptive of this new territory, from which we give some extracts in his own words :-

_ “ There is an immense tract of wilderness land between the Maiapedisc and the Resiigouche, that might slmodt settle the one-litilf of the pre- sent inhabitants of New-Brunswick, with soil as riclr as s-garden. You may take a cane, and by a small pressure of the hand, thrust it down three feet deep in s ric ark brown loam, quite free of

The chief improve- ments are tliese;'-——'I‘he ‘opening of two great strcetréone from the Hotelde Ville to the Strasbourg rnilway‘sttition—-a liroa street, to be planted with trees; the other, froin’the Place de la Concord, past the Tuileries and the Louvre,‘-to the Hotel do Ville, a mile and a half in length--a street of palaces, with two rand squares in it; an immense bari-ack behind the Hotel de Ville, a palace of stone, to contain 3600 soldiers, and to constitute a fort com- manding the Hotel de Ville and the streets around; the completion of the Tuilcrles according to the original design-—-adding a wing, and forming the most extensive palace in the world; the restoration and decoration of thr Louvre; the improvement and completion oftlie quays; the restoration and decoration of several chiirches—Nott-e Borne, the Saints Chapellc, St. Eustace, St. Etienne du Mont, St. Genevieve, the chapel oftho lnvalides, and the tomb oftlie first Napoleon; the great Exhibition building of 1854--a palace of solid stone, 800 or 900 feet long, 400 feet broad, whose walls are already springing from the ground, exhibi- ting u long row of marble arches, rising above one ariotlmr, aud forming already 8 couspicious object in an avenue of the Champs Elysees. It is not tinly.tlie mate- rial, the design, and the extent of these- itnprovcuicnts and new buildings which strike the visitor, but also the grouping, so arranged, at commanding points of vioiv, as to present it striking scene, solacing to the pride of the Parisian in its of ct an the mind oi't'ne stranger. Even the ofiliying Bois dc Boulogno is undergoing such its- provcuicnts as to make it a great pleasure- gi-ouud for the .I’arisians. Successive Governments of Paris have kept their river, so iiifci-iot: to outs: in size and utility, at least pure; it is iioiv to be made navigable to the sen.-- \Vith far less enterprise resi- dent in the body ofthe people, Paris will be supplied very shortly with a circular railway surrounding it, and uniting all the lines oftlie kingdom. The Englishman is not only struck by tliis..iinmense improve- inont for the-Parisian, but also by the con- trast which the capital of F rance presents with his owu.’’

On the trial of an im- portant will-‘case a witness was put in the box, and e osed an oath to the tcstator not being conscious of his act, when his mark was subscribed to the will. He was asked had he not on various previous occasion expressed a very diflbreni opi- nion? He replied that he certainly had. He was then asked how could lie justify ~such disgraceful conduct. “()li,"rt-plied the witness, “ I don’t see such harm in it. There is yniir own Mayor.
