Jdf 4 r- * ' " * * £ wondwi but Ire ^ Sto «« e 1 that Lieutenant Hocking should so soon hare S ? i u * 5 £ ^ Sy" * * ^ * almost the first man killed . The affair was short—the allied forces penetrated the fortressand the whole garrison
, . j j num ber , laid down their arms , and surrendered themselTes prisoners . They were conveyed to the fleet , and are to be sent to Constantinople . A large supply of stores , ammunition , &c . were found m Sajda , and these also were committed to the fleet . All engaged in this afiair , KHgtiBh , AHstrians , and Turks , behaTed admirably , » ad the Archduke distinguished himself among the braTest . The fleet continues in Djooni-bay . Ibrahim £ acha was at I > jebel Senior , thirteen hours' march from Bejr » ut . 130 men , under Sheikh Mesond were four hours in advance , watched by Sheikh iranisiB , a Druse Chief , with his mountaineers , who tf ere posted within pistol-shot , read * to ennre
him the moment he attempted to stir . Ibrahim ' s ? anguard , 2 , 00 t men , under Osmau Pacha , was two hours stil l nearer Beyroot , and the allied commanders intended , on the 28 th and 29 th September , to attempt to surprise and cut off the body . Daily applications were made by the mountaineers for arms , of which 19 , 000 stand had already been distributed among them . Egyptian dssertera came in erery day by fires , tens , and thirties . One day 130 camo in a body , with , arms and accoutrements , and among them mere than Bixty were officers or sergeants . Amongst others whose gallant eonduot has entitled them to notice , is Captain Mustapha , who was brought up in the English nary . Admiral
Walker represents bis conduct as most noble . The admiral himself fights like fury , and I bare seen the Egyptian flag which he took from Beyrout with his own hand . Ik showed that cannon balls had not been spared . We hear little of Suleiman Pacha . He was , with 2 , 500 men only , surrounded by a large body of mountaineers , who were seeking to take the whole body prisoners without bloodshed . The- abore details were brought by tbe steamer Ferdinand , which west to Alexandria , took to Mehemet Ali a letter announcing his dismissal , and
brought away to the fleet tb * Consuls-General of the Four Powers . She armed here on the 3 d . On the same day the French steamer of war Enphrate arriTed here , from TohIoh , and the public have been lost in conjectures as to the object- of her mission . All I h&ve been able to hear on the subject is that France formally steps forward as the protector of Mehemet Ali , and threatens armed interference unless the Sultan immediately consent to make the ambitious tyrant a present of one-third of tbe empire his Highness has inherited from bis forsfitliera .
On the 5 th a letter was received here , addressed by Mehemet Ali to the Graad Vizier . It is , of course , in reply to that taken down by tbe Ferdinand , and contains , I understand , a declaration that , under the protection of Fiance , he is determined to repel force by force , and make good his right to all be possesses . He regrets much to be under the necessity of turning his arms against the Sultan , but cannot submit to injustice , and so forth . The Pacha ' s conduct haa excited no surprise , but
that of France has confounded the Porte . Yesterday Lord Ponsonby and the other ambassadors of the Four Powers had a long oonference with Reschid Pacha on the subject , tbe result of which ba 3 not yet transpired ; bnt I am told that actire operations in Syria will not be abandoned , but , on the contrary , pushed with renewed rigour . It appears that Mehemet Ali has ordered eighteen shi ps of the line and eight frigates to push their way out of the harboui of Alexandria in defiance of the blockade .
( From the Sun . ) Our Constantinople letters are of the 7 th inst . They state that an Austrian steamer had arrived with despatches , which the frieads of the Divan reprercsented as most menacing for Mehemet Ali . According to those statements , Soliman Pacha had token refuge in Beyrout after his late defeat , with only 1 , 500 men . The Allies had closely invested the place . Ibraham Pacha was equally said to have thrown himself into St . Jean d' Acre with 2400 men . These assertions , if well founded , would show
( say 3 our eorresdondent ) that the military force of Mehemet Ali , stated at 60 , 000 men , was composed of a comparatively trifling number . This wa 3 not all , however . The defection of the troops , and the revolt of the people against Mehemet A li , was general . Every means were resorted to by the Allies to bring over the regular Bo'diersof Mehemet Ali , and to rai 3 e tbe people in insurrection . The entire force of the Allies with whieh these matters had been effected is estimated at only 5 , 000 Albanians , 2 , 000 English , and 500 AuRtrianR .
The mission of Count WalewBki to the Porte had nevertheless partly succeeded . The mediation of France was accepted as respected Egypt , but refused ia respect of Syria . The following is from the Smyrna Gazette . —
"SYRIA . u Cam * op Djoxjhi , Sept . 2 fl . "From all appearances the affairs of Syria will be soon terminated . The insurrection makes the greatest progress ; already 14 , OO 8 mountaineers have joined the insursents . The Torts behaved nobly , and Admiral Walker leads them nobly on . " The desertiou of Egyptian troops ia very considerable , which has greatly weakened Soliman Pacha . a The Allies have their camp at Djouni , which contains abou : 8 , 000 men , independent of the insurgents . " The Stromboli has disembarked the few marines which she brought from England .
" All the coast is in the power of the allies . ¦ " Tyre and Tripoli have beea token ; Sidon was taken after a battle of ten hours . It was defended by 3 : 000 men , who capitulated , the greater part of whom have enrolled at the camp to fight in favour of the Sultan . Tho Turkish uaTal officers sent from Alexandria by Mehemet Ali have also been enrolled . 11 The Allies have established an hospital at Cyprus . " " Egypt , Oct . 6 . " The British squadron at Alexandria , consisting of the Asia , Implacable , and Daphne , has besu reinforced by the Dido and Ganges . " The French Consul has informed his protege * thfc . t the blockade will commence on xne 16 th instant . "
" INDIA MAILS . " Advices received to-day from Alexandria state that Mehemet Ali wiil allow the mails to pass through Egypt , and send them himself if the English are afraid to take them . * ' A private letter , dated Athens , the 9 th instant , states , thai the French fleet , of eleven Eail of the line , was then anchored in Saiamis Bay . " A Russian fleet , of eighteen sail of the line , to be placed under Sir Robert Stopford ' s orders , was daily expected . "

Her blue light * were se * n at four o ' clock , and her rate of speed up the chanuel was unuBually rapid . The intelligence which the arrival supplies is lea days later than that by the British Queen , and had not the vessel been supplied with bad coals , there is no doubt tnat the voyage would have been accomplished sooner than ever yet achieved .

lKcaroiAMSH .-70 n Monday morning , a fire broke out on the premises of Mr . Blaekman , of Broinbain , by which a cart . house , containing a quantity of straw , a cart , and several other articles , were totally consumed . . The fire was the act of an incendiary , and suspicion falling on a person of the name of Win . Gardiner , of Bronham , a pauper , lately in the Devizes Poor House , he was apprehended ; and he has-been committed to take his trial atthenext assises . —B * ih Journal . Incekdia&isv . —We are sorry to announce two
senons fires during the past week , one on Monday evening , at Charloot Hill , near Bremhill , where three cottages were totally destroyed , but fortunately no lives lost : and another on Tuesday night , in the farm-yard of Miss Morris , at Avon , where a large skilling and car t-house were totally burnt to the ground . It is feared that the latter was caused by an incendiary , but fortunately , though An immense amount of farming property were in the yard , the flames were prevented spreading to any portion of it . Miss Morris is , we understand , insured . —Ibid .
A Promising Yout » . —A few days since a youth , respectably connected , and residing not far from Gestinethorpe Church , was passing near a wood called '' the Lays , on his way to school at Castle Hedingham , when he deliberately and wantonly set fire to an oat stack , belonging to Mr . John Downes , of Gestingthorpe . Providentiall y , he was seen by a man working near the spot , who immediately ran and put it out , and then pursued the boy . On being asked his name , the boy said Clarke , which it was found was not correct . Fortunately for him , Mr . Downei declined to proceed against him .
A Ladt Thxkp . —We gave a short account in our last of the supposed doings of a female in some of the respectable hotels in Glasgow , and likewise noticed her apprehension ia Edinburgh . Since then she has been brought here and incarcerated on a charge of robbery , and we understand that the evidence to be brooght forward against her is of a very conclusive character . The thief is a little Roodlooking woman , about thirty years of age , quite a stylish personage ; and we are informed that when she was seated in her inn , with her wax-lights , and decorated with a gold watch , gold chains innumerable , white satin slippers , a riding switch , and papers on the table befor * her , it would have required a bold man indeed to have insinuated anything touching her respectability or honour . She says her name is Jean Peatrisie , or Harris , and that she belongs to Wales . —Glatgou Chronicle . We understand that the prisoner Peatrisie made an unsuccessful attempt to strangle herself in gaol .
Armkd Steam-ships . —One of her Majesty ' s most powerful steam-vessels has been recently fitted with two gun ? , one forward before the mast , an ordinary thirty-two pounder , and another abaft the mizen-mast , weighing eighty-four cwt ., with a bore of 10 * 02 inches diameter- Each gun is mounted on a slide , which moves on a pivot , so that they are capable of being pointed in any direction . The velocity of the rec » il is restrained by two powerful screws , which press the carriage on the side with so much force , that although there is a strong breeching , it is rarely seen , in the case of the great gun , brought to its full stretch . From experiments made on the great gun , it appears that with only two ounces more powder than is required for the charge of the thirty-two pounder , tuat is 101 b « . 13 oz ., it ia capable of projecting a hollow shot , weighing libs ., at a range of sixteen degrees , to as great a distance as the thirty-two pounder , namely 3 , 850 yards , or nearly two miles aud a fifth .
The Tomb of Washikotok—Nobie Conduct op a Scotsman . —On the l' 2 th of June , 1817 , John Strutherg , an humble journeyman mason , was compelled to leave his native town , Irviue , in Ayrshire , simply because he had endeavoured , with others , to get up a reform meeting . The Tory authorities sent for and examined hiui , touching , as they were pleased to allege , his Boditious and treasonable ( reform ) principles . They did not incarcerate him , bnt they threatened him with the terrors of the law ; but what was worse ihau this to the poor fellow , they arrested the productions of his labour , by getting him aeprived of work , and , consequently , deprived him of the means of sustenance for his young family . In this situation of matters , seeing that he was what was then significantly caled a " marked man , " John Struihers resolved to leave his native country , and to embark for the United States of America .
Struthers and his family arrived in safety at Philadelphi . He hid no recommendation—no chance of finding employment , except through the recommendation of his own hands and good behaviour . But he speedily found employment . The Bank of the United States in Philadelphia was then building , and he w s engaged upon it as a journeyman mechanic by Mr . Tr&nquair , the Government contractor . That gentleman soon appreciated the good qualities of the exiled Scotch mason , and the result was , that he , as also Mr . Strickland , tae Government architect , patronised him , and Struthers soon commenced business on his own account as a master mason . His work gave such singular satisfaction , that the Government of the United States consulted him and employed him on all their public works or finest buildings , and in the space of a few years he amassed a vast fortune , and is now one of the wealthiest and
most respectable citizens of that country—living iu a ? tyle almost equal to that of any nobleman in Great Britain . Here is true nobility . To show his gratitude to his adopted countrymen , he formed , about ihree years ago , the splendid idea of er « ctiug at hia own expense a marble sarcophagus , in which to deposit the remains of the grsatest roan that Ameriea , or perhaps the world , ever produced—the immortal George Washington . A beautiful volume , narrating the correspondence aud prucediuga consequent on that immortal event , so iateresting to AmericanSy and to every admirer of the illustrious Washington over the habitable glob » , was published at Philadelphia , a the sprio& of the present year ..

Thb Rkmaus of Buonaparte . —A gentleman just arriTed from St .

The road leading from the tomb to the shore is being l evelled and widened greatly so as to accommodate the procession that )¦ to accompany the ashes of the hero to the beach , thence to be put on board the French ship of war that is to carry them to France . The innkeepers of James Town regret exceedingly the removal ofthe relics , which they have long found to be asouzoeof attraction to voyagora touching at the island .
Suspected Cases or Poisoning Children to Obtain their Bvrial Monkt . —Some sensation has been caused in Stoekport in consequence of a report having been spread that one or two children had been poisoned by their parents in order to obtain the burial fees allowed by a Sick and Burial Society , of which their parentewere members . A Lancashire paper , after stating that two children had been suspiciously poisoned , goes on to state : —It was currently reported that a young woman named Bridget Riley , who resided near the parents of the children , had been the means of the death of the child , she having given them some bread and tea , at her residence , immediately before they were taken ill . On this account Bridget Riley and her father and witn
mumer , wnomsne resiaea , were taken all into custody , to await the result ofthe Coroner ' s Inquest . On Wednesday evening , an inquest was held on view of the body , before John Hollins , Esq ., and a respeotable Jury , at the Vernon Arms . The body , at that time , had not undergone a > surgical examination , and there not being any direct evidence to show the real cause of death , the three individuals were liberated ; and after an investigation of four hours and a half the inquest was adjourned till the following Saturday , in order that a post mortem examination might be made on the body ; and also on the body of an infant , sister to the deceased , who was supposed to have died through unfair means three weeks previous . On Saturday the Jury again assembled at the Vernon Arms . The Coroner said ,
since the last meeting circumstances had come to light which would probably tend to show that the mother of the child was the guilty person , in causing the death , not only of the child they were then met to inquire about , but also of another who died on the 23 d of September . It had been disinterred , and arsenic found to be the cause of death , which had also been the cause of the other . The first witness called was Bridget Riley , whose evidence went to show that she took Jane and Marianne Sandys to her residence on the previous Monday , and gave them somobread and tea , and likewise a little cabbage and some boiled milk , all of which she partook of herself . When she took them home they appeared quite well . The reason she took them to her house was , because their parents were quarrelling . She was eodmothev
to Marianne , and had ftequentlyjtaken them to her residence and given them food . The child which had been disinterred was called Elizabeth , and was about six months old when it died . It died on Wednesday , the 23 rd of September , and was interred at the Catholic chapel on the following Friday . Sha had not been on friendly terms with the child ' s mother from the time of its birth till its death , and had never seen it during three months previous to iu death . She became reconciled with its mother at the wake which was held on the body . Had heard the mother say at the wake that " a corpse being so Umber was a sure sign that another would follow . " She saw the mother return with the children from the doctor on Mondav . She asked
her what was the matter with them , when she replied , that the doctor said it was only a complaint that was prevalent among children . Her father had purchased some arsenic to destroy vermin ; what he did not use was put into a mug among some old rags . On Monday she took the rags from the mug and sold them . On sorting the rags Bhe threw out a piece of paper , which appeared to contain something . She did not know whether it contained arsenic or not , nor whether the children , who were in the house at the time , had got hold of it . She had never seen the paper since . Mr . John Rayner , surgeon , stated that he had examined the body of Mariaimo Sandys , on Thursday , it being in the custody of Mr . Sadler , at the Police-office . He succeeded
in obtaining purearsenio ; and theusual tests confirmed his opinion , that death was caused by arsenic . The quantity he found was between two and three grains . One grain was sufficient to cause death . The mother of the children was next examined . She attributed the cause of the death of her first child , Elizabeth , to debility . She took it to Dr .

Elizabeth was ill a fortnight within two days before its death . Bridget Riley had not been in her house for eight months previous to its death . They got friends again at the wake . Jane and Marianne became sick as soon as they came from Bridget Riley ' s . A woman who lived in the house over her had seen Marianne sick before she cams into the house . She had told Bridget Riley that the
dootor said it was only a complaint that was going among children , as she did not wish to set out any scandal about her till she saw whether the children would recovar , because Bridget had been accused of poisoning another child which she nursed about eight months ago . It was M'Neil ' s child . She believed it died vomiting . Its mother took it to two doctors , and they eaid it had had something . She was married to a person named Devaney , in Ireland , but ran away from him about six yearB ago , and got married to Robert Sandys about four years ago . She did not know whether her first hnsband wMliving or not . The inquest was then adjourned till Tuesday , the 27 th instant , and Robert and Ann Sandys were taken , iuto castody , charged with the horrid ottenee ot poisoning their children . The general opinion is , that the children had been poisoned merely to obtain the funeral money .
Attack on a Temperance Meeting . —On Monday the Newport Paguel Temperance Society held their second annual meeting . A great number of persons attended from Ayleabury , Duns ' . able , Wobnrn . Stoney Strafford , and rarious other places , ana an attempt was made to parade the town in procession , headed by the Dunsiablo teetotal band . A mob , however , collected , some of whom took deep offence at a black banner , bearing the inscription , M Because of drunkenness the land mourneth , '' and the procession wa-i assailed with yells and hisses , Which were the preliminary only to acts of positive violence . A drunken fellow went up to tho bearer of the flag , and having deliberately felled him to the ground , he and his companions tore the . offending to ribandsThe
trophy . . teetotallers behaved with great iorbaarance , but their assailants were not to be conciliated ; other violent and brutal attacks were made , and some of the teetotallers received severe injuries , f he mob afterwards broke the windows of a nouse , in which we believe the teetotal committee were silting , and an attempt was made to cut the supportii'g ropes of a large tent erected on the green , and beneath which tho teetotallers were taking refreshments . If the attempt had succeeded , it is impossible to calculate the loss of life which must have followed . On Tuesday one of the men moat active in the outrage was convicted in a fine of £ 3 , which was readily raiBed amon parties in a far more res pectable walk of h& .-Bath Journaf .- [ The more shame for them !]

FOREIGN POOR LAWS . No . V . 15 . Francc—We have already given a general outline of the French establishments , consisting of hospicet for the impotent , hospitals for the sick , dep 6 t * demendieiie for vagrants aad beggars ( constituting fte in-door relief ) , and hureaux . de bienfaisance for out-door relief . This plan of public maintenance , however , has not been carried into effect in France with so much completeness as in Belgium .
These institutions are almost confined to the towns , and as more than three-fonrtha of the population Of France is agricultural , only a small portion can easily partiojpate in publfo relief . That portion is estimated at 3 , 500 , 000 persons , or , in other words , the population of the towns"possessing such institutions amount to this number ; and the value of public relief annually afforded is £ 1 , 800 , 000 sterling . This sum equals the expenditure in England , under the Old Poor Laws , by dividing the amount by the nHmber of persons relieved .
1 . Havrr , ^ population , 23 , 816 . )—Into the hospital the aged , above sixty , the trick , and the young , under twelve , axe admitted . Into the poor-house none are admitted save those whose poverty is well known , and who have lived twelve months in the town . No poor of either sex are relieved , if more than fifteen years old and under fifty . All children admitted m « 8 t be racoinated . Every year a certain number of children are clothed ; but for ' this thay must produce a clergyman ' s certificate , or one from the nuns ef the convent , to shew their attention and merits . Each year £ 16 are given to the clergymen of the town , to be distributed in small turns . Distributions of bread also take place every Monday and Friday , and medical assistance is rendered at the houses of the poor .
2 . RonBW . ~ Th « re is in this town a workhouse ; the regulations respecting it are severe , but a third part of his earnings appears to be reserved for each poor workman , while pecuniary rewards for good conduct are also bestowed . 3 . Brittaht . —We have a very interesting account of this province . The population may be classed under these heads : ¦—1 . Old noblesse , possessing a portion ofthe land . 2 . Proprietors , retired merchants , and others , who have vested their money in lauded property . 3 . Peasants , owners of the ground they till . 4 . Farmers .
5 . Daily labourers and beggars . The abolition of the right of primogeniture causes a daily diminution of the two first classes . A man industrious ' , enough to work the whole year can easily take one of the numerous small farms , which average fourteen acres . The rent is about £ 1 5 s . for good land , and 83 . for poor land . Mendioity is not here considered disgraceful , aud farmers allow their children to beg along the roads . The Bretons are hospitable . Food and shelter for anight are never refused ; and charity is considered , as it should be , a religious duty .
4 . Nantes . —Here is a Bpecies of workhouse , St . Joseph ' s House , " supported entirely by private subscriptions , and begging is prohibited . The hospitals receive all workmen , travellers , and needy strangers that fall sick in the city . There it in France , throughout the whole country , a general union for each of several trades , the carpenters , bakers , $ c . In each tovvu of consequence , each society has a member , who is called " The Mother , " who receives the Weekly contributions of taose who reside in that place , afforJa relief to all its members passing through it , and ia obliged to procure work for the applicant , or to support him . In the city of Nantes , during great distress , public works are undertaken
to employ the poor . About £ 1 U 4 O are expended annually in giving to poor families , at their homes , clothes , food , fuel , and sometimes money . Let dames de charite ( Ladies of the first , families , who are appointed annually to visit and relieve the poor ) distribute the greater part of this sum . This city has also a general hospital ( Hotel Dieiij for the sick , coutaiuing six hundred beds , and there are three dispensaries for administering relief to invalids , who are attended at their homes , if necessary , by the Nuns of St . Vincent de Paule . The law requires a tour ( or establishment for ihe reception of Foundlings , « fcc . ) in each department . The Hotel Dieu has received , for the last twenty years , about three hundred and sixty childreu annually , more than one half of whom die under one year old .
5 . Bordeaux has a house of industry , which generally contains about threo hundred and fifty inmates . Owing to the want of population employment is plentiful , and wages high , in Bordeaux . All indigent families , also , are relieved by the Bureaux de CharitL Three thousand five hundred and twenty families are relieved by gifts of bread , soup , fuel , blankets , and medicines . All of these necessaries are distributed by the Soeurs de Charite ,
( Sisters of Charity , ) an order of nuns , who devote themselves to the care of the poor and sick and who undertake gratuitously the education of their children . They receive , for this purpose , about nine hundred girls . How beautiful to see the- fairer and more humane portion of our race thus devote themselves to the allovi&tion of suffering V Shame upon thoso slanderers , who indiscriminately describe the Roman Catholics as a sect without , virtue and
without merit ! Show us a Protestant , country , that can boast of such a glorious instituiioD . aa the Sisters of Charity . 7 . Bayokne and MABSBiUBS . po 3 sefis little worthy of notice . This , therefor ^ oonsludea our survey of Franae .

" " Forgive me , " replied the suitor , but you Bhould remember that all the votaries of Cupid are solicitors . "
We must get through life as we can , with the least harm to others and the least suffering to ourselves ; but we augment our uneasiness by superfluous anxieties—by cares that promote no good , and tend to empoison our own blood . Nothing does this more than idle desire of distinction , without a regard to 3 ust means . It is ah argument in favour of solitude tbat it suffers this desire to sleep . Quabbje £ s . —All quarrels ought to be studiously avoided , but especially conjugal ones , as no one can possibly tell where they may end ; besides , what lasting diBlike is often the consequence of occasional disgust , and the cup of life is surely bitter enough , witkout squeezing in the hateful rind of resentment .
Pebsian Supjbr 3 tition . — -It is a common belief among the Affghans that there ara individuals who , by fixing their eyes on others , and makiDg certain signs , have a power of destroying their lives : a > process not much differing from the belief in animal magnetism . A chimney-sweep passed the immortal Muntz , the other day , and exclaimed to an astonished companion , 1 say , Bill , that ' ere chap with the big beard and breeches is a Rassian ! " "That ' s a thundering lie , " was the response , in Brummagem , vetnaeular , from the M . P . —Fact .
The Benefit of Advbbtisino . —A merohant , in a northern city , lately put an advertisement in a paper , headed •' Boy wanted . " Next morning , he found a band-box on his door-step , with this inscription : "Howwill thisahswerl" On opening it , he found a nice , fat , chubby-looking specimen of the article he wanted , warmly done up in flannel . Pbbsian Lotbrs . —Men deeply enamoured often burn their arms and chests with hot irons , in order to shew the extent of their passions for their mistresses . This Persian custom may have given rise to that in use with European sailors and othere , who frequently tattoo anchors , hearts , and other amorous devices , upon their arms , by way of love remembrances . . .
Reforms . —All human institutions have a natural tendency to degenerate from their first purpose , to be perverted in their agency , or corrupted in their principles . Hence the necessity of perpetual vigilance and timely reform . The word reform Mas nothing alarming in itself . In itself it only means to remove from a bad state to a better ; to get rid of what ia morbid and gangrened ; and to introduce what is vigorous and salutary . All timely reforos are safe ; because they have not to contend with inveterate abuses or long-established interests .
HUHAHB SOLICITUDE . Though it issaid few Frenchmen care a pin About the life of Louis dear , Yet of hiafiealth some wish to hear , And many fain would ue a bulletin . John Jeekmie , Esq ., has been appointed Governor of Sierra Leone . The unenviable reputation which this happy region enjoys for pestilences of all descriptions , does not render such an office a very desirable one . If the worthy governor ' s constitution Buffer ia his new situation , we shall probably have a modern edition of the lamentations of Jeremie . "
Kenyoii , D onning , and Hornb Tooke used generally to dine together , in vacation , at a mean little eating-house , near Chancery-lane , at seveupence-halfpenny each . ¦ . *• A « to Dunning and myself , " Took « would say , " we were generous , for we gate the girl who waited a penny a-piece ; but Kenyon , who always knew tho value of money , sometimes rewarded her with a halfpenny , and sometimes with a promise . " Phincb Albert was enabled to give "Messrs . Grissell and Peto" an excellent idea of a kennel , ' * by communicating to them an accarate descriptioa or his kennel at Saxe Gotha .
Thb Traveller Nonplussbd . —Captain Basil Ha ll , whose written stories have charmed all who read them , was one day endeavouring to enliven a remarkable : stiff and dull dinner party , b y a few oral relations of the same kind . He concluded dn « of a very extraordinary character , by saying , Did you ever hear any story so wonderful as that 1 " and at the same moment his eye chanced to rest on a footboy opposite to him , who , without leaving a , moment of interval , exclaimed , " Yes , man , there ' s a las * i ' our kitchen , that kens a lass that has twa thooms on a hand !"—Laird of Logan . .

" "Lord bless you , " replied the hardworked mechanic , " I want something that will keep me from thinking . " . How could he do it?—A singular arrest has been made at New Orleans , namely , that of a good-lookingman , named 'Mitchell , dressed in female attire .

Sam Slick s ats , — " Whenever a feller is too lazy to work , he gets a license , stioks his name up over his door , calls it a tavern , and nine chances to ten , but he makes the whole neighbourhood as lazy and as worthless as himself . The Retort Lie . —Perhaps th » best retort upon a lie is to outwit it ; as Galba said when a courtier told him that he had bought eels in Sicily five feet long . "That ( replied the Emperor ) ia no wonder , for there they are so long that the fishermen use them for ropes . " ; - Alexander the Grbat , seeing Diogenes looking attentively at a large collection of human bones , Eiled one upon another , asked the pbilosopher what a was looking for . . "I am searching , " said Diogenefc ** for the bones of yoHT father , but I cannot distin ^ uiah them from those of his slaves . "
Logomotiom on Common Roass . —The attention of the BCientifio people in Paris has been lately much excited by the exhibition of a locomotive carriage , impelled and regulated by the action of air compressed and expanded alone . The inventors have been occupied one whole Tear in the construction and improvement of this extraordinary machine . The carriage ia stated to- be very light , and of great rapidity of motion , carrying seven to eight passengers , besides the apparatus , which is represented as of remarkable simplicity of mechanism , running without smoke , inodorous , and especially free from danger . It ia considered that by this invention the problem relative to the application of common air aa a motive power on railroads is completely aad favourably determined .

Abistocratic Feelisg r ? t Englaxd . —So exagcerated is the influence of the aristocracy in England , or rather so servile tbe spirit of the middle classes , that a nobleman in the vicinity of his country seat , a 3 compared with the- same man in his London elob , is as the magnfied £ aa in the plates of * treatise upon entomology compared with the same insect in its natural condition . The " Lord Anything " of an obscure country neighbourhood is talked of by all its Squires , as if there were something specific in the very hoofe of his coach-horses . To them he is a regal personage . They know the oames and number , of his servant »? -tbe arrangements of his household . On all occasions , they quote his sayings ; and when he savs nothing , wonder what nethinks ; till reasonable beings vismn / f in the neighbourhood become sick of sis very name . "
* Scra Such a Paib was Neve * Sebh , " Ac . —At the Mansion-house , on Friday , a young woman of genteel appearance , named Caroline Garland , the wife of a hair-dresser , was charged by her husband with having broken two mirrors , and some panes of -glass in the shop window . The complainant said that he had been married to the lady upwards of three years , and they had not been together more than a . year when she began to play very strange pranks , such as staying out all night , and sometimes for several days aud nights , driving home at two or three o ' clock in the morning with swells , and knocking up tiw house , &ad s in fact , doing all those thmga wMch a married woman ought not to do . The particular act , however , of which witness complained , occcurred on the preceding night , when hia wife drove up
to ihe door in a cab , walked into the house , and demanded" money ; upon being refused which , she took hold of a pair of curling-irons , ran np stairs , smasned a mirror , returned , broke another mirror , and concluded the business , by dashing her hands through the shop-window . The Lord Major asked whether the woman was mad ? A customer of the Bhop said that he went in to be shaved , but the appearance of the lady disturbed the operation . He heard the noise of the mischief she committed above stairs , and -to his dismay he witnessed her violence below . He had himself lears of her toy , for Bhe had threatened to cut Mm moro than B&in deep . Tne father of tke young woman said that he had had more trouble with her than with all the rest of hi 3 eight children , bnt hs Q ^ d reason to believe that her husband's
fondseas for gin was the e *^ se her misconduct , for it happened that the gentleman who required exem plary conduct from his wife , was in ihe habit of driving home in cai > 3 at & 11 hours helplessly drunk , and cpon one occasion the wife found that , not only her husband but another drunken fellow were with her ui bed when she awoke in the morning . The Lord ¦ Major— " Why , Mr . Garland , you don't come into ^ our t with clean hands yourself . " The complainant Mad , that he had never introduced aay man to his *? e s bed-room ; but he admitted that he and a friend had £ one home one night" raiiier lushy , " and oat his friend in mistake threw himself across the « ed . The defendant acknowledged that she had xtone 1 mischief in the house , but she declared tbat she ^ been pro voked to violence by the refusal of her auipajid to give her the means of support . She
« med most solemnly , that Bhe was the vile person her husband had described her to be , and said thai * 11 she wanted wae a separate maintenance . The Complainant said , that she ueTer should have any m aintenance from him . The Lord Mayor— " The Jfcriah officers will compel you to support her . I shall bind her over to keep the peace towards you , ¦ oa ; you must makeier an allowance . " Complainant r- ftever . " The Lord Mayor— " Weil , it is evi-<« ailja very bad business , " and I think it would oaTebeen better if you had settled it out of Court . if yon had set her a good example at first , instead of tttting drunk and allowing a filthy fellow to get into " » bed you would not , probably , have been in this Predicament . " The eomplaiEant said that he would fB * ke her no allowance without being compelled by « e parochial authorities , and that he was justified u > his refusal by her habits .
