THE NOTED litiliUAMI. THE following account of the present residence and mode of living of this noted character (who, it seems, has taken up his abode permanently ill Russia,) is extracted from the Portfolio of Litem- ture of Saturday lut:- Captain Price, of the Ramilies trader, was at St. Petersburgh in June last, and having business with a msrchant at Volsky, a village about sixty wersts up the Banks of the Neva, he rode there on a fine English blood horse. Having transacted his affairs, he mentioned to the merchant his desire to dispose of his horse, and intention of returning by a boat down the Neva. The merchant gave him a note to Count Leonwich, a Hungarian nobleman, who had a seat in the neighbourhood, and was a great sportsman, and moreover, a member of the new racing club at St. Peterburgh, and very likelv to become a pu chaser of his horse. Captain Price was introduced to him in his garden, and instant- ly knew him to be the far-famed Baron Bergauii the paramour of the late Queen Caroline, of un- fortunate memory. Captain Price formerly commanded a vessel that traded to the port of Trieste, and there he knew Bergami intimately, from having sold him severat times ale and porter for the use of the Princess, who then resided at Pesaro—he used to dine with Bergami whenever he went to the house. He now addressed him in the Italian lan- Jfartge, and after a tittle equivocation on Hrg- IBI"* part, he acknowledged his old acquaintance, ttira invited him into his house but cautioned him not to make known who he was to any of the Russians, who all took him for a Hungarian, which his great size and strength made appear very plausible. Captain Price remained with him to dinner, which consisted of two courses, served upon silver plate, and cooked after the Italian fashion. His wife and daughter dined with them the latter was on the eve of being married to a Swedish nobleman. The wife ap. peared sixty years of age. whilst Bergami did not look more than fifty. Captain Price thougnt the daughter very handsome. Their dinner was splendidly luxurious, though it was evidently Ids common mode of living, as no prepai-atkms wertt made for one they did not expect. The house was elegantly furnished, but not a book was to be semi in it. Whilst they drank their claret and hock, the young Lady played several airs upon the harp, and sang with a tolerible voice. Bergami said he had sold the Baroni, near Milan, for ZI3,000, and purchased the estate wheee he then resided, and also the title of Count: he wore the st¡'r, and also another Ger- man order -not that of St. Caroline. The house was full of guns, fishing nets. and sporting mate- rials of every -in the hall lay seve- ral pointers, and greyhounds, and on perches Were a jai-ge assortment of hawks he had a ken- nei of fine fox-hounds, and a stud of 12 horses.— Upon a heap of stones near the chateau was a staff. bearing the ftusslanflag-a distinguishing mark to show he was an officer of justice for he held a situation similar to that of all English Jus- tice of the Peoce, to which there is a salary at- tached of two hundred roubles. Captain Price saw him exercise his authority over a drunken fellow who was making a noise in the streets.of I I Vol sky he ordered him to be gagged, and put hi the stocks, which was done in a most savage manner. Bergami wore the Russian uniform, green and olrl-a gold lace cap and feather a sword by his side. and pistols in his belt; lie ap- pearerl to have twelve or more domestics, and in the litwn before his door, four feaialeS were em- ployed milking cows. He was much leased with lh« horae, for which he paid inorethan was demanded. His es- tate appeared well çultivatedand thickly wood- ed he had several fish ponds, or small takes, on the borders of which were little wooden huts, filled with nets and lines. He appeared likw a r little prince, but withal quite Unostentatious.— He said he would have liked to see England, had lie not been afraid of his life by venturing thither. Captain Price assured him no one there would in- jure him; but he shook his head in doubt, and smiled. He attended the Captain to a passage- boat, and saw him embark on the Neva, bidding him a most cordial farewell. When they had sailed some hours, the Captain observed his name on a large hamper, and upon opening it. found it to contain six fine large bear hams and several rein deer tongues he remembered praising those things at dinner, and Bergami took this handsome way of gratifying his appetite. He asked Cap- tain Price if the people in England ever said any thing about him; for he had heard it was be lieved he had left his wife and family in Italy to starve, and gone himself with all his fortune to America.

DREADFUL OcultizENCE. (Froin th a York Heritld.) A poor, but well-disposed and inclustrioùs wo. rtian/of the name Quthwaite, the wife of a shoe- maker, residing at the village of Cloughton, near Scarborough, and the mother of four children, the youngest of which is but a few mouths old, havitig business at the latter place on Friday last, resolved to take home, for the use of herself ahd children, a sinall portion of an opening inedi- ciIÜ. With this view-, she called at a druggist's shop in Scarborough, ordered the same, and said she would call for it before she left the town.— ft was accordingly weighed and placed ready for the poor woman. III the interim, however, a far- iner called at the same shop, and desired one ounce of arsenic to be Weighed, and he would call for it in a short time. The dangerous mineral was fclso got ready according to order, and as a pro- per precaution, poison' was written on the pa- per containing it; but, unfortunately, the two were placed togetlltr. The poor woman called the first for her medicine—she received the wrong ,Ocket-she could not read—she travelled; home to her little faiiiiiy, the innocent, Ulisuspectilig atessengerofdeath.

A coroner's j ury sat upon the bodies; and, af- i tera very minute investigation into all the cir- e'din.-itances of the case. delivered a verdict (as ro- garded each) of 4 Accidental Death.'

A verdict of Ac- cidental Death may protect the druggist from the severities of the law but it cannot throw into the shades of oblivion the recollection, that a little more care might have prevented the evil, and that a little more attention would have dis- appointed death of four hapless and innocent iV ¡.1..

UOXIXU. FtGHT BETWEEN YOUNG DUTCH SAM AND JONES. No less than three matches were fixed to take place on Tuesday, viz.-betwoe.ii Rueben Martiu and Young Gas, Youug-Dutch Sam and Joneg (the sailor boy), and Neil i»ayagt» and Kii kiuaii; The ptftce fixed was No Alan's Land, about five miles from St. Albau's. Such a hill of fare naturally Attracted the lovers of the polite art, and i the usual attendants of such scenes. The first fight in order, was that of Martin and Young Gas, and in fact this was the great attraction- both are good men. and both were backed, and altogether a fine treat was made snre of; but it was intimated there was to be a Marplot in the person of Reuben's wife. who, as it should seem, did not wish that her deary should be disgraced, and therefore applied for, and on Monday evening obtained a warrant to have her spouse yrabhed. This was the tale told but behind the curtain it was said that there was another scene-to speak out, it was flatly said that the party could not make all right. Tliey found Young Gas too honest to sell, and therefore they wished it to be smashed. This not being known for certain on Sunday night, on the arrival of those who take a drep interest in these affairs, the greatest disap- pointment was expressed, and thus matters stood iili it was nearly time to march from St. Albans (head quarters) to the field, when it was ascer- tained that the lovely Mrs. Martin had actually been at St. Albans all night oil the look-out for Reubeii.

TIIE ASIIANrEEs. THE following particulars have been communi- cated to us by a glntlelllall on whose authority we have reason to rely it is right, however, t ob- serve that our correspondent has had the informa- tion from a third person. Mr. Wilson, the only surviving prisoner of those devoted and unfortu- nate persons who had fallen into the hands of those monsters in human shape, the Ashantees, under the ill-fated expedition against that barba- rous and formidable tribe, which was conducted under the direction of the gallant but unfortunate Sir Charles M'Carthy, has arrived in town with- in the last few days. The account he gives of the horrid treatment which our hapless country- experienced at the hands of the savagesipaa- not be read without feelings of disgust and her. ror. Mr. Wilson states that ha and allotlier Eng- lish officer were, shortly after tits. bnset, des- perately wounded; they bad both falien nearly at the same moment, and on the me spot, at least within a few yards of each other; thev lay on the grouiid, and witnessed, with what feelings we need not describe, the bloody aud indiscrimi- nate massacre of their brave but powerless com- panions ilr anus. It has been already stated ti the public that the English troops under Sir Charles M'Carthy had falien the victims of Ih" Ashantees, in conSequeuce of finding tlicilitivivi-i in want of ammunition. Mr. Wilson colifil-tili that statement. If, sai.1 he. the late ftir Thomas' Picton had been in the place of Sir Charles M'Carthy, lie would have instantly blown out the brains of the slovenly and most negligent and criminal Commissary, who had left a brave de- tachment absolutely defenceless in a strange and savage country.
