—The London Court Journal Las the fol
lowing :
“A most extraordinary discovery,which,
for obvious reasons is sought to be a pro
found secret, has taken place in an old ru
ined house at Iriel. An immense chest
full of gold and -ilver coins of English
stamp, has been found concealed in one
of the cellars, where it had been carefully
walled up. From the papers and docu
ments contained likewise in the chest, it
has become evident that the house was
once inhabited by Bolmgbroke, who must
have laid concealed here during the poii
o<l wherein his whereabouts lias always re
mained a puzzle to biographers and histo
rians. In one of his letters be iwentious
that ‘his retreat is convenient to the Seine.’
And the house in question is found to pos
sess a subterranean passage 1 a ling down
to the water’s edge. The money is evi
dently of the subscription raised by the
party of the Pretender, tor the want ol
which the latter was prevented from strik
ing a decisive blow.”
Pride of Ancestry.—There was mitcli
sound truth in the speech of a country lad
to an idler, who boasted his descent f:om
an ancient family. “So much the worse
for you said the peasant,“as we plow
men say—the older the seed the worsa
the crop.”
