Description of the arrival at Dresden ‘ of o Remnant of Napoleon’s Army tn Russta.-— I was lately an eye-Witness of a terrible scene. The regiment of body guard that acquitted itself so manfully at Minsk, has, in the retreat from Moscow, been altogether cut up, mostly by the frost. Of the whole regiment, only about seventy rctrzain. Single bodies arrive by de- road in some carriage or wagon.— On Sunday forenortn I found a crowd collected round a car, in which some soldjers had returned from Russia.— No grenade or grape could have dis- tigured them as I beheld them, the victims of cold. One of them had! l0st tho upperjoints ot'his ten fingers, and he showed us the black stumps. Another looked as if he had been in the hands ofthe 'I‘urks, forho wanted both ears and nose. Mast horrible was the look of a third, whose e) es tvore frozen; the eyelids hung down, rolling, and the globes of the eyes were burst. and protruded out of the sockets. It was awfully hideous, and yet a more hideous object was to present itself. From the straw in the bottom ofthe car, [now beheld a figure creep painfully out, which one \vould scarcely believe to be a hu- man being,so wild and distorted were his features. The lips were rotted away, and the teeth exposed. He pulled the cloak away from before .his mouth, and grinned on us like a dead-head. .Then he burst into a wild laughter; began to give the com- mand in broken French, with a voice more like the bark of a dog than any thing human ; and we saw that the poor wretch was mad from a frozen brain. Suddenly, a cry was heard, Henry! my Henry ! and a young 'girl rushed up to the car. The poor lunatic rubbed his brow,as iftrying to recollect where he was; be then stretched out his arms towards” the distracted girl and lifted himselfnp with his whole strength. A shud- dering fever-tit came over him. He fell collapsed, and lay breathless on the siraw. The girl was removed from the corpse.—-It was her bride- groom. Iler agOny found vent in the most horrible imprecations against the French and the Emperor, and her rage communicated itself to the crowd around her—especially the women. who were assembled in con- siderable numbers. * From late English Papers. FRANCE.—-In his controversy with the Journal des Debats, Mr. O’Connell diverged to attack Louis Philippe for not having fulfilled the compact into which he entered at the timepf the Revolution of 1830 ; and he added, that if“ Henry the Fifth” (the Duke of Bordeaux) would undertake to give >to the French the whole charter,he should have an Irish brigade in fortyeight hours. This decla- ration has caused a general commotion among the Paris journals; who, with few exceptions,retort upon Mr. O’Con- ree-s, but, in the main, in a most- pitiable pli ht. When they reach the Saxon bor er, they are assisted by' l their compassiOnate countrymen,whu nell angry charges of ignorance respect- ing the real feeling of the country about which he is speaking. lam credibly informed that negocia- tions are being carried on for the pur- pose of forming an alliance, offensive and defensive, between England, France, and Austria. Louis Philippe scents san- guine ofbeing able to efl'ect so important an object,but in the higher diplomatic circles it is much doubted. Every lover of peace and order must join in forward- ing the views ofthe King of France. A strict alliance between England and France, backed by Austria, would pre- serve for over Europe from the horrors of war. [So be it.] An experiment with the electric light, which has been talked of so much as a substitute for gas,was made a few nights ago on the top of a house on the Quay Conti. in Paris. The light was so bril- liant that, It I distance of two hundred metres (about 200 imperipl yards.) it was possible to read print or manu- euabled them to make the rest of the I script. Solemn Fuonr A Love QUARRBL.—- On Wednesday last, Mr. Wakley held an inquest, at the Globe Tavern, Upper Marvlcbone-street, on Caroline Jones, aged 28. Deceased was single, and a young man courted her. Friday after- noon she was with him. and returned home alone, shortly before nine. She appeared asifshe had been crying. and muchexrited, and on bciogquestioned, said she had had a severe quarrel with him, and had left him threatening to de- stroy herself. She afterwards went out for some beer in a pint pot. Soon after this she came running down stairs, ex. claiming. “ I've done it ! I’ve done it.’ The Lord have mercy upon me I” She then, threw herself into aehair,-—and _ wridgiug her hands, informed a witness that she had taken a large quantity of oxalic acid to destroy herselt. Medical aid was at once procured, and a surgeon attended and administered the stomach- pump, but without efl‘ect, as she died in 20 minutes after his arrival. The jury returned a verdict of “ Unsound mind.” —-—0_ “hm—Now in Greenwich Hospital, 2,700 pensinocrs; of whom there are, with loss of right arms, 14 ; lefl. do.9 ; total ‘23.

Rich, farmer, of Ridley Court, accidentally Scratched one of his fingers (supposed by a thorn);inflatnma- tion took plat't' and spread over his trame'; it was followed by mortification, which shortly terminated in death.

THE MORNING NEWS. \Vaoucsosr, NOVEMBER [5, "343. When the English mail arrived last week, we were suffering under the effects ofthe prevailing coughs,colds, 8tc.which have recently visited, in an unprecedented manner, almost every habitation in this town. Although we can scarcely boast of convales- cence, we hare carefully reperused our European and other newspapers, and find little to add to our stock ofintelligence on hand. After the lapse of a few days, news of the most important character may reach us as Friday last. Wm, hi, bearing hard on the tranquillity of ad home late at night the mother country. We hastily collected the materials it not being a public market dam. found it necessary to give the im. portant news of the week in Satin. day’s paper, for the benefit of on, country friends. LIGHT-HOUSES —A light househu been erected at Cape Bonavistafiea. on the llth September—a welcome harbinger to the sailor on that bleak coast. Sambro Light, Halifax, is men. tioned in the Acadian Recorder, u requiring some improvements, and calls the attention of the Light house Inspector to the subject. We think there isa mistatament of this matter, as Sambro Light can be seen at a much greater distance by mari. ners sailing eastward from Cron Island to the Light, than from Je. dore towards Sambro. This circum. stance should be promptly investiga. ted, and the facts we have stated, from personal observations of late years, are sufficient to warrant usln suggesting to Mr. Miller a proper at- tention to his trust. Point Prim, P. E I.-—\Vhen will this eligible site for a Light-House be numbered amongst the improve- ments ofthis Colony ?-—there is not one on this Island. This is not as it should be, and we trust that Our Le- 'gislature, during its approaching set- sion, will not permit an object to be neglected any longer, of so much in portauce to a large portion of them- ding population of this port.‘ MUSICALB Semen—V“ have br- fore taken notice of Mr. Lobban’i Band of Instrumental performers,and are happy to find that the opinion we had entertained of them was fully confirmed by others who were pre- sent at the entertainment on Tues day se‘nnight.
