The Message of the Church to Labouring Men . A Seitnon preached at St . John's Church , Charlotte-street , Fitzroy-square , on ike Evening of Sunday , June 22 nd , 1851 , By Cuaw . es Kisgslet , junr ., Rector of Everdey . London : J . "W . Parker and Son . TTe have now "before us the Sermon which elicited such an outcry about Chartism , Sociaism , Infidelity , and Atheism , from the « liberal ' daily papers . In order that our readers may jttdgo of the nature of the opinions thua designated , we shall present them with somewhat copious extracts , of which is really a very valuable Sermon from a clergyman of
the Established Church . The Sermon is heralded by a preface , explanatory of the circumstances under which itwaB delivered , and a letter from Professor Maurice , in which , without directly stating the fact , Mr . Brew is conricted of at least very bad manners , if not absolute untruths , in the coarse he thought proper to take at the close of Mr . Kingsley's Sermon . The friends of that gentleman took the manuscript from him as soon as it had been preached , and they state that it is issued mhtdim aa delivered . The text selected by the rev . gentleman as the basis of his message a the following , from the Fourth Chapter of Luke : —
"And Jesus came to Uazareth , where he had bren brought up : and , as His custom was , He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day , and stood op for to read . And there was delivered unto Him the hook ef the prophet Esaiaa . And when He had opened the book , He foond the place where it was written , The spirit of the Lord is upon me , because He hah anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor ; He hath sent me to heal the broken hearted , to preach deliverance to the captive .- * , and recoverisg of si ^ ht to tbe blind ; to set at liberty them thst are bruised , to preach the acceptable year of the Lord . And lie closed the book , and He gave it again to tbe minister , aud sat down . And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on lliin . And Ha began to say unto them , This day is this Seripwire falfilled in your ears .
At the outset , Mr . KfagsleY denounces Pr iestcraft , Kingcraft , and the slavery of the intellect , persecution , and tyranny involved in these words , as no part of the trua idea of a Christian Church . He aBserts—Tint the business for which God sends a Christian priest in a Christian nation , is to preach and practice Hb-Tty , equality , and brotherhood , in the fallest . deepest , widest , simplest meaning of these three great words : that in as far as he 80 does , he is a true priest , doing his Lord ' s word , with his lard ' s blessing on him : that In as far as he does art , he is no prie 3 t at ' aU , but a traitor to God and nan .
I say those words [ of the text ] express the Tery pub " and marrow of a priest ' s business . I say &it they preached liberty , equality , and brofterhood to the poor and rich lor ever and ever . Mr . Kingsley proceeds to describe , in eloquent terms , tbe purport of the teachings of one whom he describes * as a poor young man , fee job of a -railage girl ; and after showing ftat then : very essence is political freedom , proceeds : — Eat if there was one expression of the Lord feus on that day which roust , above all others , lure | iY < -n nope to tae oppressed poor of Juiisea , iai .-truck terror into the hearts of those who had
t *« n euahving their countrymen—adding house to ioose . and field to field , and making a few rich at & * expense of many poor -it must have been the % - *« tence which he quotes from Isaiah;— " The s ? im « l the Lord hatli anointed me to proclaim tfe awBjitaMe year of tbe Lord . " Sow , there » onll be no doubt in the minds of His hearers as to wiaUe meant , for that year of the Lord , iustly called ac-eptable and pleasant to the many , was tee of the wisest of Moses' institutions , by which « tbe expiration of a certain period , all debtors aod " ona-servants were released , and all land * &eh nad been Eold returned to its original poster : so that in Jnrisea there could be no
obsoJnte or eternal alienation of the soil , but only , J Moses ordered , a . lease of it , according to its T * he , between tbe time of sale and the next year ° [ Jubilee . If I wanted one proof above all others s '_ tlien > sj > Yreil "wisdom of Moses , 1 should choose t& unparalleled contrivance for preventing the actiunulation of large estates , and the reduction of &e people into the state of seris and day-labourers . And this acceptable year , the Lord said He was « me to preach : and more—that the Spirit of God tzi anointed Him to proclaim it—that eternal s ? ffh of eternal justice and eternal righteousness , * aose laws cannot change for any consideration of ^ en ' s expediency , but true once , or true for ever
* H therefore , if those words of the Lord of all )?? earth mean anything , my friends , they mean jjs i that all systems of society which favour the ^ cumulation of capital in a few bands—which ^ H the masses from the soil which their forefa-£ er possessed of old—which reduce them to the * j * l of serfs and day-labourers , living op wapes ^ 1 on alms—which cruBh them down with debt , ? " » anywise degrade or enslave them , or deny j ^ m a pi-rtnanentstake in tbe commonwealth , are j ^ tarj to the kingdom of God which Jesus ^ l-d med—contrary to the eternal justices and ^ teeoasnesses of the Spirit of God—contrary j' « ie constitution of man and the will of bis j ^ enly Father—and contrary to the idea of the ^ fe h , -shich witJiesses / ffr God ' s kingdom upon . f " , ami calls all men and nations to enter into t ^ * e saved therein in body , souL and spirit .

Bible , and the two great Protestant Sacraments are : — The Church our forefathers taught us to say is a company of faithful men , wherein God ' s word is preached , and its sacraments duly administered . They constitute the root and essence of a church . Let the clergy for the time being or the laity either , be what they will—aye , let them be what they will , let them b& as tyrannical , luxurious , bigotted , ignorant , careless as they may—those tbree great "D ' l-l A i . 1 . ilDlB . and the iwn OTflat Prnfnafnnt Ksu » . r * .
Gud'given i . ets—the Bible , Baptism , and tbe Supper of the Lord—will witness against them , and witness for the people . Though man may hold his peace , yet God will speak . Though man may forget the meaning of the very aigus which God baa preserved to him , yet to the poor there will be always in the Church a message from their lleavenly Father . In the BiuJe , which proclaims man ' s freedom—in Baptism which proclaims his equality—in the Supper of the Lord , which proclaims his brotherhood .
To illustrate these positions , take the following definition of the meaning of Baptism , as explained by Mr . Kingsley : — What is the plain and simple meaning of the baptismal sign , but washing — purification — and that alike of the child of the queen : ind the child of the beggar ? It testifies of the right of each , because the will of God for each is , that they should be pure . And what better witness do you want , my working'friends , against that vile neglect which allows tens of thousands in our great cities to grow up hogs in body , soul , and spirit ? If we really believe tbe meaning of that baptismal sign , we should need few further arguments in favour of sanitary reform , for every savage in St . Giles's
would fee ! that be bad a right to say , Go d ' s will ia that my children should be pure washed without and within from everything that defiles and degrades roan ; my child ' ls God ' s child—God's spirit is with it , It is the temple of the Living God , and whosoever defiles the temple of God , him will God deBtroy . God has promised to purify its spirit : how dare you interfere with God ' s work ? God's will is that its whole body , soul , and spirit should be preserved blameless , and grow up to the full stature of a noble manhood . How dare you stand in tbe way of tbe will of God towards even one of the meanest of his creatures ? Hovr dare you , in your sectarian jealousy , your dre : id of that light which
after all comes down from God , who is tbe Father of Light : how dare you , I say , refuse to allow his mind to be purified by education ; how dare you for the sake ot your own private greed or party chicaneries , refuse to allow his body such purity as God has not denied even to the wild beast in his native forests ? How dare you , in the face of that baptismal sign of the sprinkled water , keep God ' s children exposed to filth , brutality , and temptation , which festera in our courts and alleys , making cleanliness impossible—drunkenness all but excusableprostitution all but natural—self-respect and de < cency unknown ? Again , my working friends , I speak the truth of God . In that font is a witness for
education and for sanitary reform , which will conquer , with the might of an archangel when erery other argument has failed to prove that the masses are after nil not mere machines and hands to be used up in the production of a wealth of which they never taste , when their numbers are , as far as possible , kept down by economical and prudent rulers , to the market demand fur members of Christ , children of God and inheritors of the kingdom of Heaven . In an equally eloquent and powerful style Mr . Kingsley deduces the principle and the leeson that all men are equal from the Sacrament of the Lord ' s Supper , and thus concludes a very remarkable sermon •—
Above all , when I hnve been inclined to give in to that subtlest of all temptations--the notion that one Gospel is required for the man of letters , and another for the labouring drudge—that he may pamper and glorify himself on art and science , and the higher and more delioate subjects of thought , while for the poor man a little reading and writing , and religien , is enough and to spare ; then again , that sacrament has warned me ; Not so—one bread , one wine , for thee and them . One Lord , on © pardon , one fountain of life , one feeling and inspiring spirit . They have r . ot only the same rights , but the same spiritual wealth in them . If thou hast been put into circumstances , in which thou canst use thy gifts more freely than they can theirs , why
is it but tbat thou mayest share thy superfluity with their need—that thou mayest teach them , guide them , nourish up into flower and greet tbe heavengiven seed of nobleness which lies in them as surely as in thee ? For after all , as that bread and that wine proclaim to tbee—thou hast nothing of thine own , —wit , scholarship , utterance—what hast thou which thou did 3 t not receive ? Fool ! Instead of priding thyself on it as thine own property , confess it to be that which it is , the gift of God , who hath only bestowed it on thee as his steward—to give it freely to all , aa he hath given freely to tbee . Oh , my friends / I speak the truth ; God is my witness 1 speak the truth , when I tell you tbat these thoughts are uot matters of doctrine but of
experience . There is one man at least in this church now who has been awakened from the selfish luxurious dreams of his youth , by that message of tbe Bible aud of the sacraments , to see the dignity of the people ' s . cause—to feel it at once the most peremptory of duties and the moat glorious of privileges—to proclaim in the name of Jesus of Nazareth , the message of the Church of Christ—That the will of God is , good news to the poor , deliverance to the captives , healing to the brokenhearted , light to the ignorant , liberty to the crushed , and to the degraded masses the acceptable year of the Lord , a share and a stake , for them and for their children after them , in the soil , the wealth the civilisation , and the government of this English land .

The English Republic . No . VI . Edited by W , J . Lixton . London ; Watson , "We have not seen this periodical for some months , and are glad to find it still in existence . The present number contains some admirable papers j among which we may especiall y note that on 'Universal Suffrage . ' We moat , however , object to the spirit and tone of the article entitled ' The Ghost of Chartism , by One Twelve Years in the Banks . ' The writer begins with a . mistake as to a very simple fact , and heaps blunder upon blunder hb he proceeds . He says : —
It is true I am an older Chartist than Mr . Fear gus . O'Connor : for I joined from the first . Mr . O'Connor took time to consider . I am not blaming him for tbat . It would not have hurt tne D 10 V . 6 « ment had his consideration been even more protracted . But I have no precedence . Now , Mr . O'Connor has been an avowed advocate and labourer for the Charter for sixteen years , at least . We remember well his coming to Manchester as the representative of the Marylebone Association in 1835 ; and the * Northern Star '—in which the writer says it is a misfortune his devotions have not been chronicled—is in the fourteenth year of
its existence . It would appear that the writer , however quiet he may have been in the ranka , has not made the best use of his opportunities ; and , if we may judge of the communications he might , could , or should have sent to the ' Star' by that he has favoured the English EepnWSc' with , it has been * no misfortune' for this journal . It is much easier to criticise those who act than , to actyourself ; and when this writer , who assumes such supercilious aira , and such a lofty superiority over those who have devoted themselves in earnest to the promotion of Chartism , has shown his superiority in action , and in
practical sacrifices of time , money , and energy , for the cause , it will be time enough for him to lecture his betters . If the friends of Chartism can do nothing better than find fault with their co labourers , it will be long before Chartism becomeB anything but a * ghost . ' Turning from this disagreeable subject , we have much pleasure in transferring to our columns , tbe following extract from the nervous and eloquent article on Universal Suffrage : — We need Universal Suffrage to Upbuild Ih 8 nation . That templeof the Eternal , the sacred workshop wherein we serve the Future of Humanity shall not be unsightly and disgraced because of its many broken and disfigured columns .
Whatis a nation ? ^ ot a mer e hord e Of savages or serfs , driven by some imperious master . Kot a Babel-gathering of trading thieves , held together only so long as they can find withal to exercise their calling . A nation ia the free association of equals , the predestined association of men of one iace , in whom tradition and history have breathed the prop hecy of an idGntieal life , —men whose cradle songs , whose noblest memories , whose dearest hopes , echo that charmed word of COUJSTRY , which links together the various families of earth , each in its special bond of harmonious tendency , whose result is national vitality , national growth , and the acbierement of national purpose—the fulfilment of the nation's work and mission mandfor
tfae ' vjorld . " - . „ ., . Ho w : shall the nation grow except all parts m the nation share and help its growth ? Uo * Bhall all grow unless thej hare fair room for growth , — the Equality on which their freedom builds , rising uprightly , like some well-proportioned column , a pillar of humanity ?
bavages buiid not at all . Your trader * , helJ to * gether by one common interest , would sell the very loundation stones . Sorts , at some royal bidding , may built ) pyramids , but cannot build a nation : not even though the royally be held in commission l « y ao many as 800 , 000 of the elect . A nation can onl > be built by all—of all . AH the people , each iu his place . The individual first perfecting his own upvight and rounded life ; the family standing as perfectly together , a stately column group ; the parish , township , and province , the further association , for that combined work lor which tho family alone it SavatMW huiM nnf at ¦ Al V .. «« . r » .. rla » u >> ul . l t ... "
not competent ; and tbe nation , the compiete-i temple , built and supported by the regulated strength of all . Only from the Universal Suffrage of equals can such a building rise . The slave could not mount to the height of the freeman , could not reach to upbear tho temple roof . The nation is indeed a living temple : with multi tudinous columns , many as individual natures , but wJjioh all unite together to uphold the place of worship for the future . Infamous ia he who neglects his portion of the serriee , who upholds no pare of the sacred roof of couutry , the homestead of his
race . For tho vote is not a mere eisjht-mUlioneth share in the election of a master ef tonjrue force . It is not a mere hustings dulusion , the careless or considerate droppiug of some name in a ballotbox . Nor is it but a pledge for higher wages , respectabilities , and coniforts . It is the symbol of manhood , the public acknowledgment that a man ' s life is hia own , that all his fellow men of that nation recognise him as a man , a free man , their equal , to be cared for , and ruled and ordered , be he never so insignificant , with the same care and in the same rule as the noblest . Nay , it is : i symbol of more than that . It is not only the proclamation and fearless challenge of the man's rights , but also the open confession of the man ' s duties ; the public honingp ( would once a year be too often for that homage ?) of the individual man to the nation , and through
that to the collective humanity , to which he so swears fealty and allegiance , confessing that for it he Hveaj and moves , and haa his being . Wages , respectabilitios , and comforts : —Freedom has better growths than these . Let the respectable stalled ox take his due wage of fodder , and be comfortable ! The aim of human life is higher than that . Not for the mere material ; not only for some better arrangement of laud and labour ( though these things wait on freedom ) , not by any means to supersede the necessity for work , is the plaee ami dignity of manhood to be desired . But to take the yoke from off thy neck , that tbou rnayeat -work freely and healthily , that all thy powers and capacities may be employed and perfected , that universal life may be better served , —that fcbou mayest bear thy heavy sheaves of corn , thy full rich fruit , any way thy worthy and acceptable sacrifice , to tbe mighty spirit of the future .
Rough the path of life ; toilsome the ascent ; and heavy the burden that must be carried to the distant heights . We need the help even of the least ; there is no strength to be spared . The slave may stumble and faint by the wayside . Let him se * k his rest , his comforts , his own ' well being . ' What is the general good to him ? Wbat to him the aspiration toward the Excellent and the Eternal ? But the freemen faint not , nor stumble . Singins . they iourney onward , hand linked with hand , and hopeful eyes consoling hope ; so each upholds the other . Come , my brother!—my Bister!—cry the equal voiees;—aid ns in the work which is neither thine nor our's , but the Eternal ' s ; bow down with us in worship of the inevitable ; raise thy proud head toward heaven , thy life aspiring as the altar ' s flame soars skyward ! Wreathe with us tae crown of future triumph ; help us to upbuild the moving temple of humanity .
It is fov this that we would be ruled ; for this that wo need Universal Suffrage . That every human life may have its healthy growth , its perfect bloom , or pleasant store of fruit , ami so the garden of the world be well arranged and beautiful . That every columned life may be firmly built aud finished to ita utmost grace , that the national temple in which we would worship the Eternal Spirit of Growth and Freedom may be worthy of its purpose , of the service to which it is dedicate , well proportioned in all ita parts , and the whole a perfect beauty , an increasing leveliness , and ' ajoy for ever .

Statistics of Litigation . —Some curious returns are given \ ntUe firBt report of the common law commissioners just printed ! of litigation in the common law courts of Westminster . In the four years , 1846 . 1847 , 1848 , and 1849 , the three courts issued 403 . 313 writs . The appearances entered were 212 , 777 ; the rules to plead were 156 , 629 ; and in that period tbe judgments figned were 11 , { J 64 . The commissioners , remark , that " It appears , that one-half of the cases in which writs are issued begin and end with the first step—tbe writ of summons—and that before the time for pleading has expired , which varies from twelve to sixteen days , more than one-fourth of the actions in whiub ,
appearances have been entered are settled . The probability is that all these are for clear and undisputed demands . " The commissioners recommend that the appearances to be entered , and the rules to plead should be abolished , and that , with the startling facts disclosed by the statistical information , the proceedings in actions should be shortened . The number of rules to plead indicate tbe number of cases in which declarations have heen delivered , and in which the plaintiffs have taken the step to force the defendants to plead or submit to judgment . The ohm-go for a writ of summons is from £ 110 a . to £ 2 , and the cost put of pocket h 5 s . The writ alone is effective in about ialf the cases to induce a settlement .
Novel Application of Gum Percha . ' - — a patent has been obtained by Mr , E , Truman , of No . 40 , Ilaymarket , for a method of fixing artificial teeth into a preparation of gutta percba , made to resemble as closely as possible , in colour , texture , and consistence , the natural gums . The substance of the gutta percha , whilst in a softened state , produced by beat , is made to fit closely to tbe IDOUth , and by its pliability enters into every interstice , depression , or projection of the jaw , aud the processes of the teeth , so that no cavity in which air is
contained is left unfilled . The result is , that the artificial gum cliaga to the natural gum with a tenacity that requires great force to remove it , and the ar tificial teeth can be used for mastication , &c . The principle is a simple one , and is exemplified bv the common experiment of placing a piece of wet leather upon the smooth surface of a stone , when it will be seen how closely it clings to it . The adaptation of gutta percha to this purpose will avoid the use of metallic plates in tbe mouth , and prevent many , evils Known to arise from tho use of baa ' w metals . -.

The consequence was that the steam rushed in with extraordinary violence , and in a short time he was oi'nv pletely suffocated . When touched the skin came off , and he was , according to the expression of a witness ^ " quite boiled . " His widow , brought a complaint
before tbe Tribunal of Correctional Police agamaj the waiter of the baths , a man named Portimer , and as it eleariy'appeared that the accident had been caused by his gross negligence , he was condemned to eight days' imprisonment and to the payment of 10 , 000 francs as damages . .

Philosophy v . Astronomy , —Exceedingly interesting are flie new experiment about ihe earth ' s rotation : but it is said that a little mure brandy in your water than usual will cause the rotation of the earth to be distinctly visible . A BIG " IDEE . " 'Tis orful grand , I caJKerlate , to sit beside an oak , And hear these ' tat-nal bull-frogs join iu one tremendous—croak 1 _ Liaci » Manure . —It maybe useful to say that July i » the very bsst time in the whole year to give liquid manure to everything we want to strengthen or push on , as now things are in ihe height of their summer growth , and they can b » more freely dealc with on that account . — Cottage Gardener . Patiencs . — "I remember , " says the celebrated Wesley , " hearing my father saying to my mother , ' How could yoii have the patience to tell that blockhead the same thing twnty times over
?'—' Why , ' said she , ' if 1 Had told him but nineteen times . I should have lost all my labour . ' " Borneo the Mm . —A » bip from Port Glnsgow was recently lying in the liarbimr at New Orleans , when an Irish emigrant one day came on board , and thus adolresBed the cn » k , who wa * also Irish— " Are you the mate ?"— " No , " said he ; " but I ' am the man as boils the mate !" Bekp . — " Madam , " said Old Roger to his boarding house keeper , '' in iirimi ' . ive countries , beef in often the legal tender ; but , madam , " said he , empliatically , thrusting his fork iato the steak , " all the law in Christendom couldn ' t make this beef tender . " " Where was I , Ma , " said a little urchin to his mother , as he stood gazing up . n his drunken prostrate father , " where » aa 1 when you married Pa ? Why didn ' t you take me along with you ? I could have nicked out a better man than he is ! "
DlALOGUB BttTWJiEN TWO OF IvNIBB ' a CoNGBEOAtion . — " Hotf < l ' ye do , broder . " " S » s < y , me tank y » u ; how you been rfis l > ng time ? " Q , « ite well , tank you ; hww ^ you pass your time now broder ? " " Oh , me , no pass me time at all , brodfi '; me cock up me foot , so let time pass himself . "—Jamaica Standard . I he Softer Skx in Smalls . —The revolution in female attire which has commenced in America may extend to this country . Well , no matter , if die attributes of the husband are abrogated . It may be well that ladies should know what it is to be continually having to put the hand in the breeche * pocket . — Punch .
The Desired Effect . —At a funeral of an individual noted for being a brutish husband , a severe father , and a mean man in general , it was observed that nobody shed tears ; whereupon the sexton said that he had officiated in that capacity for forty five years , and that , an instance of the kind had never happened before , and that it might , not disgrace the village , he seized a little boy and pulled hia cars must severely , speedily producing the desired effect . The Hodse of Lords may now be viewed by the public twice , instead of once a week , viz-, on Wednesdays and Saturdays , Tickets of admission may be procured at tbe Lord Chamberlain ' s Office ,
adjoining the house : and I at . ad of applying , as before , only on the Wednesday for tickets whicb are to admit on the Saturday , parties may now obtain them on each of the days above mentioned ( from eleven till five , we believe ) , tor inatant admission , ¦ Deceit . —When once a concealment or deceit ' buB been practised in maters where all should be fair and open as the day , confidence can never be restored , any more than you can restore the white bloom to the grape or plum tha' . you have once pressed-in your haud . How true is this and what a neglected truth by a srea' portion of mankind ! Falsehood is not only one of the roost humiliating vie s , but , sooner or later , it is most certain to lead to the most serious
crimeB . Tbibiwals of Commerce . —The promotion of Tribunals of Commerce ( say the Mining Gazette ) is destined to work great changes in the law . The spirited manner in which the wiby'dhaa bevn taken up , and the phalanx of mercantile influence by which it is supported , cannot fail before long to render the movement successful . Every one acquainted with the lasses and vexations attending leijal proceedings must be fully aware of the iniquities pvactUed nuder tbe assumed protection of | rofeasional technicalities . The law ' s dangers and the law's delay ' s have become a byword and a reproach , and the sooner remedial J » ea 3 utes are adopted tbe better .
Fowl and Truffles , —A . farmer who was dining with his landlord received from him a good portion of a fowl and a considerable quantity of truffles , with which it was stuffed . In a very short time the host was startled by an emphatic exclamation from hia rustic friend , and was surprised to see him making nide'ius ( grimaces , and ejecting hastily from his mouth something apparently very unpalatable . " What is the matter , Thomas ? " inquired the entertainer . — " Matter 1 Confound it , " was the reply , " you've gi ' en ma a pic cbucBie , uae doot 5 but wow b © here , roan , the beastk's wame is fan 0 ' corks ! " .
Death's Warrant . —On a wall , in the east of London , is the f » IJo * ing notice : — " Whoever trespasses on these p-emines are requested to bring their coffin . " The following is a skit on the above : —• Whoever on this ground may tread By way of depredation , May rest assured they'll I 09 B their head , And end the provocation . Their coffin they had better seud , And then it will be ready ; i For their survivors may depend Tney'll have the corpse to bury , J , Si
LlPE in a Tub— "Schmidt , I say , what are you doing here ? Why are you not at your work in Whitechapel ?"— "Because some one has knocked a nail into my ca ? k , aud I ' ve run that nail into my foot "— " Some one has knocked a nail into your cask 1 " said I . "What do you mean ?"— " Why , " said he . turning to me , while the money changer left the room , " I 'im a carpenter by trade ; but finding no work , I engaged myself with a fellow in Whitechapel to ' cure' skins . I have done it now a fortnight , but some < me who wished for my place disabled me by knocking a nail into my cask . " I could not make out bis meaning . " I had to get up at three in the morning . " he explained : " I undressed ,
and tben went into a cask with bare skins , which I had to stamp upon all day long . If I continued that work till Beven or eight in the evening , I could earn about a shilling a day ; just enough to keep me alive . ' — " And were you tricked out of 80 miserable att employment ?"— " Certainly . There are dozens who wait for one of the workmen to fall ill ; and , if they have to wait long , they make him fall ill by secretly disabling him . Every one has bi 3 place' so Ion ? as he can keep it ; They are all Germans who work there , and many of them are clever in their trades ; but they cannot find other employment .

Tub Pbnsteb ' s Fate . —How trueis it that " the man who makes a pun will pick a pocket , " may be ascertained from the reports of last week's proceedings at the Old Bailey . It will be found , from reference to those dismal records , that a wan has made a pun—that he has picked a pocket—that he has been tried , and found guilty . The facts are these : -An infatuated wretch , of the name of Cotton , stole a handkerchief ; and , on being called upon for his defence , he declared "he tbouRht it was his own , because it was a CoUon ' one . " Judge and Jury f 4 t at once how much the atrocity of the pun added to the enormity of the offence . Who , after this , will dispute the soundness of the axiom , that the man who can make a pun will pick a pocket ? Tbe thing lias been logically proved ; and henceforth , whenever a punster is known to be present in a large assembly , the cry will be . aa a matter of course , " Take care of your pockets !"—Punch ,
Visitors AT thr Maxsion House . —In corisequeuce of the great influx of visitors to View the Mausion House , it has been found necessary to put some limit to the admission of strangers ; and for the future , permission to view the building will only be granted on Tuesdays , Wednesdays , Friday * , and Saturdays , fron twelve till three o ' clock in tbe afierugon ,
