Well, I felt a bit of relief when I heard the Sheriffs anser, $nd the Judge looked down at a piece oil paper, and then he 'says - Mr. Clerk, record the judgment of the Court : Let Mr. Hupks be confined in the blocks for one hour. I And," says he "Mr. Sheriff, you can conhe as near as possible to executing the judgment ofthe Court." How is that f slays Joofus, flaring up and looking wrathviat the Judge. " Your honor don't mean lo inflict any unusual punishment V j " Oh, no P says te Judge, laffin ; "the mode of carrying oat the sentence is left to the Sheriff."

There is no doubt of ihe general fact, but evidently much of fable in the record of inci dents which led to the formation of the Helve, lie union. In one respect, which we cannot regarded.

We are now to open lhe glorious age of Swiss history, and to see, though faintly, how many centuries it cost to reach independence, and how much of blood and time has been ex pended to maintain that independence.

It also performs the operation of extracting the square root and the most com plicated sums in fractions. The machine, which the inventor calls Arithmetical Instrumental, is about (he size of an ordinary toilet, being about 4 inches by 9 inches, and about 4 inches high. The external mechanism represents three rows of ciphers. lhe first and upper row, contain ing 13 figures, is immovable ; the second and third, containing 7 figures each, immovable.- The words addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are engraved on a semicircular ring to the right, and underneath is a hand, which must be pointed to whichever operation if 4 SIGULIl INCIDENT.

We now leave the soil of France to visit another theatre of human vicissitude, in which similar causes have produced like effects.
