SIR,—There is a peculiar herb in the compound of }\ ARR's LIFE PILLS, which no other Patent Medicine possesses, which I am ready to testify, and will give any information by applying to me or Mr. Batters, NQtting. nam. I am 54 years of age, and have taken every kind of medicine, and none had the desired effect but PARR'S Lirp PILLS in curing myself of the Rheumatism. And vvhen I lay on a ?d—or have sometimes sat up for nine ek8>1 received no relief until I took PARR'S LIFE ILLS, which ultimately effected a cure. I will also give you my wife's statement in her own words; "I was taken ill of the Typhus Fever and was not able to move from the bed. Through my husband taking PARR S PILLS I thought I would try them, and took two Pills at nine o'clock in the morning; still was not able to move, but gradually afterwards I became better. I then took more, and, at three o'clock, I was enabled to vialk in the garden, and in a few days I was quite restored. This is truth, and no fiction; I am now forty- 8IX yeais of age." I am, Sir, yours respectfully, SAMUEL WATERALL. Communicated by Mr. J. GAMIS, Yeovil. Yeovil, July 13th, 1846.

This invaluable Medi- cine instantly relieves the pain, and removes the most severe attack in two or three days, carrying along with it the excellent quality of strengthening the constitution j' and, what is most extraordinary, continuing to have the same effect upon us as when we first used it-a circum- stance that is perhaps unparalleled, and which merits the high encomium bestowed upon it by Lord Francis Egerton, %I.P., ,,Iio has said (in a letter to James Locb, Esq., M.P.) that it is the greatest discovery in the annals of mcdicine, mercury and bark not excepted. And as we are anxious to extend the benefit of this medicine to the poor, afflicted with this disease, knowing, as we do, the great increase of it amongst the more humble classes, we feel deeply impressed with the necessity of the hu- mane and wealthy joining us in the laudable under- taking, whereby a fund might be raised to establish, upon a permanent footing, an Institution, so as our views may be carried into effect. First Resolution, proposed and unanimously agreed to-" That the sum of £ 1 Is. be subscribed, which will entitle each Subscriber to Seven Tickets, to be distri- buted to the necessitous poor, afflicted with Gout, Rheu- matism, and Sciatica. And that these tickets may be available immediately, it is proposed that Mr. Borthwick shall furnish the medicine to those afflicted, who are in possession of them, whereby many advantages in the mean time will be vaiiied."

Cure of Asthmatic Cough of Twenty Years' standing, by the use of Keating's Cough Lozenges. Seend, near Melltsham, Dec. 8th, 184G. Sir,—I was troubled with a bad Asthmaticj Cough for twenty years, 'till I heard of your COUGH LOZENGES, through the Newspapers, and witn grauiuae isenayou an account of my cure. My cough was so bad in 1843, 4, and 5, that I was scarcely two months without being under the Doctor's care; at the end of 184 > I was so very ill with it that my wife and friends, and even the Doctor, gave me up; I could not walk across my room and the phlegm nearly choked me; but, thanks to your valuable Cough Lozenges, they effected a complete cure for the first night I took them I slept without coughing, and in a week I was quite well, and have not takèn any other medicine, or been laid up one day since. I wish for the good of my fellow-sufferers, that you would pub- j lish these facts. I remain, Sir, your obedient and grateful servant, JOIIX RAXD':M.. To Mr. Keating, 73, St. Paul's Churchyard.

IRELAND. I
IRELAND. I We do not perceive any change, for better or for worse, relative to Ireland. The Galway election is much dwelt upon by the Irish papers, even more than the famine, but that perhaps is natural; an exciting is dwelt upon rather than a depressing topic. We think, too, the denunciations of the Saxon are less vehement; the journalists appear to have come to the conclusion that the Saxons have been rather serviceable to the poor of Ireland lately. Famine and pestilence are sweeping off the population in several of the western and southern counties. The accounts received this day are still more horrible than any that have appeared. In the extent of mortality Sligo now appears to surpass any other county, and it is asserted that the police, finding the deaths from starvation so numerous, refuse to send for the coroners, probably because it would be physically impossible for those functionaries to hold inquests in so many cases and in different localities. And yet in this very county of Sligo, the local journal, the Sligo Champion, makes a most startling exposure of an infamous system of job- bing on the public works by landlords, for the employ- ment, it is alleged, of their relations and dependents at high salaries, to the exclusion of the destitute and famishing labourers. The reports from the county of Cork describe the destitution as daily becoming more desolating, extending to the better class of farmers, who, it is stated, after paying their rents, are now consuming the grain they had reserved for seed, while the peasantry, all through that extensive country, are dying by hun- dreds. The police throughout the country have received instructions to furnish returns of the deaths from star- vation and disease. The number reported up to the close of the last week, at the Constabulary office in Dublin, was fifty thousand. But there are many deaths from want and disease of which the police in the country could have no knowledge. The actual number of deaths from starvation is probably much larger than the amount reported by the police. THE FUTURE Caops.—The gentry seem to be para- lyzed-the people stricken and, by the operation of those combined and powerful agents of national calamity, the necessity of providing food for a future day appears to be abandoned. In December last we adopted means of inquiry, in order to satisfy ourselves as to the extent to which winter-sowing had been accomplished, and what amount of preparation there had been made for the spring crops. We did not conceal the result of our observations, nor did we exaggerate the importance of our labours by a description which could not be borne out by facts. We then asserted that there was no pre- paration for spring-work commensurate with the neces- sity which would arise for human food before Christmas next; and we now repeat the assertion, after the lapse of two months, the events of which justify us in the rectitude of our opiii ions. -Balli)zasloe Western Star. It appears by the weekly return of the repeal rent for the last week, with the names and localities of the sub- scribers prefixed, that of the whole amount, £ 17 14s. 2d., Ell 10s. 4d. was contributed by the Saxon towns of Hull and Liverpool, leaving the important balance of £ o 13s. lOd. as the offering of the universal people of all Ireland. This is, upon the whole, a satisfactory symptom of returning sense. FEVER AMONG THE IRISH IN LIVERPOOL.—We are sorry to learn that fever has considerably increased, within the last few days, among the Irish paupers in Liverpool.—Liverpool Journal. AUVANTAGES FROM NEW ROADs-In a district in Connaught—Conneuiara—where formerly no traffic whatever existed, and whence government received no revenue whatever, a considerable trade has sprung up owing to new roads which opened up a convenient ac- cess to a hitherto almost inaccessible interior. The ex- pense incurred by these improvements was at once paid, and the government receives a considerable revenue from the hitherto bleak, uncultivated, and barren district.— Neicry Examiner. ALARMING SPREAD OF DISEASE.-The fearful work of death which famine may leave undone, pestilence will finish. The poorhouse is now a pest-house. The Guardians have abandoned it. The medical officer de- clared that they could no longer meet with safety in the board-room. Dr. Knott recommended long ago, that no more paupers should be admitted, and we deeply regret that his prudent and wise advice was not adopted. Not that we attribute the slightest blotne to the guar- dians they acted for the best: and if they erred in crowding the house, it was upon the side of humanity. However the poorhouse is now a pesthouse. The guar- dians have fled from it. The nurses are all ill-the master and his assistants are lying ill, and out of eleven hundred inmates, six hundred are on the sick list. Di- sease is progressing through all parts (if the town and country. The fever, though very general, is not of a malignant character, and few persons die of it, but the dysentery, which now rages, is frightfully fatal in its re- sults. When infants, or elderly people are affected by it, it is almost certain death. This fact has been cotn- municated to us by the highest medicil authorities in the town,-Sligo Champion. THE GOVERNMENT—M. SOYER—AND SOUP ESTAB- LISHMENTS FOR IRELAND.—We learn that the govern- ment have resolved forthwith to despatch M. Soyer, the chef de cuisine of the Reform Club, to Ireland, with am- ple instructions to provide his soups for the starving millions of Irish people. Pursuant to this wise ana con- siderate resolve, artificers are at present busied day and night constructing the necessary kitchens, apparatus, &c., with which M. Soyer starts for Dublin, direct to the Lord-Lieutenant. His plans have been examined both by the authorities of the Board of Works and at the Admiralty, and have, after mature consideration, been deemed quite capable of answering the object sought. The soup has been served to several of the best judges of the noble art of gastronomy in the Reform Club, not as soup for the poor, but as a soup furnished for the day in the carte. The members who partook of it declared it excellent. Among these may be mentioned, Lord Lichfield and Mr. O'Connell. M. Soyer can supply the whole poor of Ireland with-one meal for each person once a day. The food is to be consumed on the premises." Those who are to partake enter at one avenue, and having been served they retire at another, i so that there will be neither stoppage nor confusion. To the young children, the sick, and the aged, as well as to distant districts, the food is to be conveyed in cars furnished with portable apparatus for keeping the soup I perfectly hot. With regard to the metrapolis, the ar- rangements are bv no means at a stand-stiil sites for kitchens are being'selected, but here a slight difficulty has arisen—the inhabitants of the localities being natu- rally averse to witness the assemblages of the poor, the destitute, and the needy, brought together to receive soup. Sites in Westminster, it is understood, where little or no annoyance will be occasioned to the respecta- ble inhabitants, have been selected, and Mr. Cotton of the Bank of England, has offered a large and convenient place for the east erd.-Obsei-cer.

The amount of money annually expended for cigars smoked in the United States is near 10,000,000 dollars. NEW APPOINTMENT.—Mr. J. A. Roebuck, to be Taxing Master Extraordinary of the Parliamentary Bills, vice Mr. Joseph llume, resigned. INDIA.—OVERLAND MAIL.—Letters and papers in anticipation of the overland mail have arrived The dates are-Calcutta, January 8th; Madras, January 14th; and Point de Galle, January 20th. The political intelligence brought by this arrival is of no very great importance. The treaty with the Sikhs was duly ratified betwixt Dhuleep Singh and the Governor-General on Christmas-day and the two great august personages just named were again to meet on New Year's day. Four Sikh corps are being raised, to form, with other troops, a frontier btigade at Peshawur, under command of Captain Lawrence, of the 11th cavalry. Orders have been issued for the reduction of the Scinde field force by about 7000 men. The excess of expenditure over revenue, which in 1846 is supposed to ha\e amounted to nearly two millions, will probably be reduced to what. according to the parliamentary returns, it appears to have been in 1844-45—considerably upwards of a mil- lion. Sir C. Napier has been raised to the rank of lieut.- general, and attached to the staff of India. The toun of Madras has lately been visited by cholera, but at latest dates it was )ti the decline. The country, with this exception, is healthy throughout, and the weather cool alld agreeable. PORTUGAL.—News from Oporto has been received. The insurgent leaders have re-assumed a course of active operations attended with partial success. The capture of the depot at Aveiro, a place within four leagues of Suldanha's head-quarters, is confirmed. This is not the only success which the insurgent forces have achieved. They appear also to have taken Alcacer do Sal in the province of Alemtejo, together with the garrison, consisting of a detachment of 180 men of the Queen's forces, under Major llhoreo. There was a general rumour that some important places had declared for the Junta at Oporto. The position of the hostile forces was such as rendered it likely an important action would soon take place between the Conde das Antas and Baron Casal. By the latest accounts Casal had withdrawn his troops from Valencia and Vienna, and had taken up a defensive position on the Lima. Saldanha's head-quarters were still at Agueda, and one of his columns, 1,000 strong, was in pursuit of Pervoas who was in the Estrella mountains. The whole Miguelite force, under Barnardino, 800 strong, had joined Vasconcellos, and several hnndred Miguelites, the remains of Macdonells band, had found their way to Antas's camp, where they met a cordial reception. Several deserters from Saldanha's army, it is said, had presented themselves at Oporto. There is nothing in all this very encouraging to the Queen's cause, and it was considered that the time had arrived when Colonel l' Wvlde would attempt a paci6c mediation. Sir H. Scy- | mour, our new mir.i5tn, had not armed.

Trinity,college, Cambridge, has furnished more con- verts to Rome than any other college in Cambridge or Oxford. A splendid dinner was given to Mr. Cobden on the 10th ult., in Rome, by many of the nobility and some of the most illustrious of that august capital. It was held in the Chamber of Commerce, the Marquis Potenziani taking the chair. The allusions to the liberal policy of the Pope, and to the triumphs of Mr. Cobden, were re- ceived with enthusiasm. It was curious to hear Mr. Cobden on the banks of the Tiber telling the people of Rome that the account books of the English merchants were kept upon the Italian model, and that the street of the bankers in London still -bears its Italian name- Lombard-street! Upwards of 50,000 persons are now inmates of the London workhouses 60,000 are receiving out-door re- lief; and froMT,400 to 2,000 nightly Sheltered in the refuges for the houseless Mr. Braham, the wonderful patriarch of English te- nors is now in London, and is rusticating for a time, after giving 400 concerts in 37 weeks, two each day, and travelled every morning by railroad, post, stages, &c. On no occasion did he disappoint an audience by pleading hoarseness or fatigue, and i4 now in excelient health, strength, and voice. An extraordinary shot was last week made on the Hampshire coast by Colonel Hawker with one barrel of his 2001b. gun, and a twelve-ounce patent cartridge by Eley. He picked up, at this one shot, 178 oxbirds and a plover, exclusive of about three dozen more birds that escaped in the scramble of collecting the killed and wounded. The accounts from Lancashire, as regards the present condition of business, are without any general improve- ment, and, we may add, hold out no hope of any im- mediate change for the better. It is true that the best effects are hoped for, from the cautious manner in which the trade to the east has latterly been conducted. The shipments to China and to India have been on so limited a scale, that it is hoped, before many months are past, those markets will again become a source of good demand. The amount already collected by the Society of Friends in England on behalf of the starving Irish, is £30,000, which sum has been paid into their bankers in London. From a few of their meetings the collections have not yet been quite completed. The above sum will average about 35s. per head, from every man, woman, and child belonging to that community. It is announced by the London Missionary Society that Rakotondredama, only son of the Queen of Mada- gascar, has embraced Christianity, and that, through his influence, the persecution against the native Christians has been stayed. The Lord Chancellor is adopting measures to prevent the free admission of prostitutes to theatres and saloons open under his license.

An accident of a very uncommon kind occurred at New Bridge, near Snaith, on Friday last. Mr. Joseph Bays, was ploughing in a field in his occupation, and had finished all the field but a narrow slip by the side of a drain, when it is supposed, owing to the restive- ness of one of the horses, the plough was overturned into the drain, and unfortunately, the deceased with it, and he was drowned. In the Court of Common Pleas last week, Judge Wilde refused to assume that certain parties were mem- bers of a railway committee, simply because they had J been advertised as such, and had not contradicted the announcement. He hnd himself been advertised as having derived great benefit from Cockle's Piils," j when he had never taken one in his life. The Anti-Slavery Society of Massachusets, U. S., has memorialised the legislature for a dissolution of the union, or a severance of the slave states from the free. The last Belgian census shows that the population of Fianders has decreased. In 1816, the population of West Flanders was G42.000, a decrease of 22,000 on the former year fhat of East Flanders was 701,000, a decrease of 15,000. The Church of England Journal shows that in the diocese of St. Asaph, which abounds in poor curates of long standing, £ 7,000 per annum is held, in sine- cures, by Englishmen, who do not know one word of the language of the parishes from which they derive their disgraceful incomes." In 181(5, among 4,563 prisoners confined in the Edin- j[ burgh prison, 2,400 were confirmed drunkards, i A fastidious young lady vowed she would never have an Irishman, a Presbyterian, or a Parson, and ended by marrying an Irish Presbyterian parson.

The Western Times suggests that the Anti-State- Church Asssociation ought to pass a vote of thanks to the Bishop of Exeter for his services in the cause. Certain London swindlers, who use good commercial names, forged of course, are agaia addressing circulars to tradesmen in the country, offering to accommodate them with bills, and sell goods on commission. Mr. John Lee, glazier, of Ilkeston, having lost an only child, and not feeling satisfied with the clergyman's demand for funeral expenses, made a vautt in his pat lour, in which he interred the body ou Thursday week — Nottinghamshire Guardian. ¿, Letters from Rome mention the lnunuou 01 ine Pontiff to give a municipal constitution to that city.

We are informed by a correspondent that Reschid Pasha, seraskier of Roumelia, died at Monastir during the last week of January and that a terrible fire had devastated Peru on the 27th ult. The palace of the British minister was only saved from destruction by the crew of the French steamer Ramier. On Monday the French Chamber of Deputies, by a majority of 205 against 29, granted the Ministry the authorization to augment by 10,000 men the effective force of the army.

Lolla Montes, the famous danseuse, has crowned hpr notoriety by turning out the whole Bavarian ministry! The kin" it must be remembered, is a poet and has his tastes, and a despot too, and will not be denied. The danseuse demanded the title of the Countess of Starem- berg, for which the king with his own hand wrote out an order, annexing to it one of the finest domains of the Crown. The Ministers refused to countersign an order which they thought compromised the king's dignity; and so they are all out. The king's conduct in this transaction has been so eccentric, that some of his sub- jects do not hesitate to ascribe it to insanity. A Newcastle-upon-Tyne paper mentions the appre- hension of a gang of thieves, whose business seems to have been carefully managed, as books were kept, and the profits of their plunder were regularly divided among the partnerx. The Emperor of Russia has forwarded to Paris, blocks of porphyry hewn from quarries belonging to the Crown, to be used in the proposed monument to Napoleon at the Invalides. A person asked another if the tolling of a bell did not put him in mind of his latter end. He replied, ir I but the ropc puts im: in mind of you, Mr. Richard Dunn, the Irish Barrister, whose perse- cution of Miss Angela Burdett Coutts, for some years past has gained considerable notoriety, was on Satur- day last tried for perjury, before Lord Denman. Ho was after a lengthened investigation, convicted and sen- tenced to be imprisoned for 18 months in the Queen's Bench Prison, and at the expiration of that period to find sureties to keep the peace for two years, and be further imprisoned until they are obtained. Extensive repairs are to be made in Windsor Castle during the absence of the Royal Family in the spring. On Thursday se'unight in consequence of the heavy fall of rain, about 30 yards of the Sheffield and Man- cliester Railway, near Woodhead, were washed away by the flood. A down traio to Sheffield, and another to Manchester, had just passed over when the line fell in. Had the fall occurred a few moments before, the accident must have been most frightful. Postage stamps are in preparation for the Colonies, by which pre-payment may be effected on letters for any place now covered by the shilling stamp. There exists ir. Bengal, a particular class of Brah- mins, known by the name of Ilulins, who are notorious for the number of their marriages. One member of this caste has been known to have formed three hundred matrimonial alliances, and to have had wives scattered over a vast extent of country. Dhaujibhai Nauroji, a Parsee by birth, was ordained a clergyman a few days since at Edinburgh. The King of Bavaria announces a fourth volume of poems. Considering that he is sole editor of the king- dom, and that he takes all its affairs, including the theatres, into his own hands, one wonders how he finds time (or imagination) for so much verse. Horses are liable to consumption when kept in badly ventilated stables and we are informed by Mr. Edmda Chadwick that a discovery was lately made as to the effect of defective ventilation on the cavalry horses in some of the Government barracks in England and it if stated that a saving of several thousand pounds per annum was effected by an easy improvement of the ven- tilation of the barracks near the metropolis.- Thp Builder. The House of Commons, as at present constituted, consists of 656 members, the two vacant seats for Bud- bury being still in abeyance, making the total number 658. Of these there are 44 members between the ages of 21 and 30, 159 between 31 and 40, 213 between 41 I and 50, 155 between 51 and 60, 67 between ou ana iu, and 15 above 70. The oldest member in the house is Mr. Denison, the member for West Surrey, aged 77— the youngest the Earl of Grosvenor, member for Chester, aged 22. The average age cf the entire house is 50 years.—Jersey Times. A piece of plate has been presented by the tenant- farmers of the Isle of Purbeck and its neighbourhood, to the Rev.

EXTENSILE IMPORTATION OF CHINESE SUGAR.—■ The Shebra, from China, was hauled into the St. Ka- therine's dock on Thursday afternoon last, with a cargo of 600 tons of sugar, the growth of the celestial empire. It is of a remarkably fine quality, and quite white. It is packed in bags, each containing 551bs. This is the third cargo of Chinese sugar, which has arrived in the port of London. THE FAMINE FLND.—A correspondent of Douglat Jerrold's Neicspaper writes as follows: — "I believe, if his biographers speak truly, Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington is an Irishman. Will you allow me to inquire what sum of money his Grace has subscribed for his perishing countrymen ? Has he veiled his charity under 'Anonymous,'—for I can in no list dis- cover his name." PLEASING TRAIT.—In one of the churches of this city, on Sunday evening last, the worthy rector, plead- ing for our distressed fellow-countrymen in Ireland and Scotland, in accordance with the Queen's Letter, took for his text, Luke iii. 11. He that hath two coats let him impart to him that hath none and he that hath meat, let him do likewise." In the course of his ad- dress the speaker said, that although he did not mean to press the literal acceptation of the text, yet that he would be glad to be the medium of receiving any do- nation in the shape of superfluous or cast-off clothing. At the conclusion of the service, whilst the vestry were counting over the collection, a parishioner, sfworking mason, sent in a very good great coat, warm, substantia), and in excellent condition, which, in the interval he had gone and fetched, and requested the acceptance of, saying he had another at home, and could well spare this. The gift was cordially appreciated. — Bristol Mercury. PRESENT STOCK OF r-,ORN-, &c.-]From a very elabo- rate table in the Gardeners' Chronicle of Saturday being an abstract of ninety-four separate returns ob- tained from practical farmers, in thirty-six English, Scotch, and Welsh counties, the following conclusions are drawn by the editor:—That the present stock of wheat throughout the country in the hands of farmers is probably one-fifth or one-sixth less than usual, and that appearances arc against an early harvest; that there is very little more barley in the country than will suffice for seed that the stocks of oats, beaas, and peas are unusually short and if there are enough potatoes for seed, it is only because no one desires to plant the usual quantity that the quantity of turnips is very small, the root being much injured by the frost; and that the stock of hay is very large. In the north of England and in Scotland the breadth of wheat sown up to the present time is below an average, owing to the severe winter, thus leaving a large extent of land to be sown in the spring. EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES !—A Brussels journal announces that an hotel-keeper and his wife having been prosecuted for assassinating a traveller, and converting his dead body into sausages, 'vere found guilty with the addition of extenuating circumstances. The French journal the Heforme copies the above statement, and observes, that no doubt the extenuating circumstances" were, that the convicted parties were induced to commit a murder in order to feed their fellow-creatures in this period of universal distress' •SALT FOR PURPOSES OF AGRICULTURE.—Too muoh attention cannot be given to the use of this valuable article as a prevention of the disease in potatoes as a fertilizer; as a preventive of disease in horses, cattle, and sheep and as a remedy for the wire-worm, the ruit in wheat, and the mildew.- Yorkshirema". GRAMMATICAL ERROR.—By an amusing error (of the press, of course), which occurred in a late edition of Davidson's popular English Grammar, the variations of the verb to chide were given as follows :—Presetit i1Ji. niiive—To chide. Past., iFnite-I cliid, Past injiititn o — To lian-c childi-eit An Irish paper accounts for the mistake by stating that the compositor must have been a bachelor who had recently got married. A CHEAP DIN-IL-R FOR THREE Bllliors.-In a book kept by the bailiffs of Oxford, at the time when Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley were in custody there, the following entry occurs of the bill of fare and ex- penses of the dinner for the three prisoners on the Is: of October, 1554:-Bread and ale, 2d., oysters, Id., butter, 2d., eggs, 2d., lyng, 8d., a piece of fresh salmon, 10d., wine, 3d., cheese and pears, 2d., the whole three dinners, 2s. 6d.—Cambridge Advertiser. MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.—But not in heavcnt neither on the earth, but on board the America, hence to New Orleans, in lat. 48 degrees, 29 minutes north, and long. 17 degrees, 31 min. west. Wind fresh on the starboard quarter, under full sail at the rate of ten and a half knots an hour. At the conclusion of the after- noon service on Sunday, the 24th ult., Mr. Joseph Cain, son of the late Mr. James Cain, formerly of the Nunnery Mills, near this town, to Miss Elizabeth Whittuker. The ceremony was performed by Elder John Taylor. The dear creatures were so sick that they were unable to hold each other's hands, and the whole party so squeamish that they could not partake of the wedding dinner indeed every one \\a:> in a sad mess.— Monti's Herald. SIDNEY SMITH.—The producing of a novel in three volumes was seriously proposed to the Rev. Sidney Smith by a celebrated bookseller. Well, sir," said Mr. Smith, after some seeming consideration, If I do so, I can't travel uut of my own line, ne sutor ultra crepidam 1 must have an archdeacon for my hero, to fall in love with the pew-opener, with a clerk for the confidant—tyrannical interference of the churchwardens —clandestine correspondence concealed under the hassocks-appeal to the parishioners, &c." It AU that, sir," said Mr. I would not presume to interfere with -I would leave it entirely to your own inventive genius." Well, sir," returned the Canon, with urbanity, I am not prepared to come to terms imme- diately, but if ever [ do undertake such a work, you shall certainly have the refusal." THROWING DIRT.-CArF. COD ELOQUENCE.— Addi- son speaks of a certain market in London, where they sell the best fish and speak the plainest English." There seems to be just such a place on the coast of Massachnsets. The following choice morsel is from a Locofoco paper called the Barnstable Patriot:—" The clumsy-footed, slobbering, dirty-mouthed editor of the Register, has once more turned his heavy quid of tobacco, and is trying to spit out in raillery at us, the venom," &c., &c., &c. As somebody remarked to his neighbour at whist, if dirt was trumps, what hands you would hold !Bostan Courier. FRAUD.—The machinations of the crafty and design- iiic are alike endless and inexhaustible. No sooner does an useful and excellent invention deserve and obtain the favor of the public, than it is immediately made the ob- ject of piracy and counterfeit of the basest kind. For- tunately, the arts supply the requisite protection; and we learn with pleasure, that Messrs. Rowland, the spi- rited proprietors of the invaluable Kalydor," have, in self-defence, engaged those incomparable artists. Messrs.
