PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND, Patronized by the Royal Family Nobility, IS a sure and speedy Cure for those severe annoyances, _tL without causing the least pain or inconvenience. Unlike all other remedies for Corns, its operation is such as to render the Cutting uf Corns altogether unnecessary indeed, we may say, the practice of cutting Corns is at all times highly dangerous, and has been frequently at- tended with lamentable consequences, besides its liability to increase their growth; it adheres with the most gentle pressure, producing an instant and delightful relief from torture, and, with perseverance in its application, entirely eradicates the most inveterate Corns and Bunions. Prepared by JOHN Fox, in boxes at Is. lid., or three small boxes in one for 2s. 9d., and to be had, with full directions for use, of C. KING, 34, Napier-street, Hoxton New Town, London, and all wholesale and retail medicine venders in town and country, The genuine has the name of John Fox on the Government stamp.

What a painful and noxious Disease is the PILES, and comparatively how few of the afflicted have been permanently cured by ordinary appeals to medical skill! This, no doubt, arises from the use of powerful aperients, too frequently administered by the profession indeed, strong internal medicine should always be avoided in all cases of this complaint. The proprietor of the above Ointment, after years of acute suffering, placed himself under the treatment of that eminent surgeon, Mr. Abernethy-was by him restored to perfect health, and has enjoyed it ever since without the slightest return of the disorder, over a period of fifteen years, during which time the same Abcrnethian prescription has been the means of healing a vast number of desperate cases, both in and out of the proprietor's circle of friends, most of which cases had been under medical care, and some of them for a very considerable time. Abernethy's Pile Ointment was introduced to the public by the desire of many who had been perfectly healed by its application, and since its introduction the fame of this Ointment has spread far and wide; even the Medical Profession, i always slow and unwilling to acknowledge the virtues of any Medicine not prepared by themselves, do now freely and frankly admit that Abernethy's Pile Oint- ment is not only a valuable preparation, but a never- failing remedy in every stage and variety of that appalling malady. Sufferers will not repent giving the ointment a trial. Multitudes of cases of its efficacy might be produced, if the nature of the complaint did not render those who have been cured, unwilling to publish their names. Sold in covered pots, at 4s.

I --THE NEW _FACTORY BILL.…
I THE NEW FACTORY BILL. I I [From the Westminster Review.] I Freedom of industry has become a question between freedom for eleven hours and freedom for ten. Old notions of the liberty of the subject and the rights of labour have given way to the extravagance of trade unions and labour, by the authority of Parliament, is to be regulated by conventional rules, not by the volun- tary compact of the employer and the employed. Let us note the sophism upon which the argument of the supporters of the present measure is founded. The State has judiciously interfered for the protection of children—why not for adults ? The why not, we will explain. Observe the distinction. Adults are free agents—children are not. A parish apprentice has no choice of masters the hours of labour must be regulated for him by somebody, and the choice is only between the State and the employers or guardians to whom ac- cident may consign him. The moral and industrial training of children is thp first of parental duties but when it ceases to be adequately discharged, from poverty or destitution, the brutalizing influence of intemperance, or the death of parents, the duty devolves upon the State. Society must supply the place of proper natural guardians, if only in self-defence. The interests of all are endangered when the juvenile vagrants of our streets, or the infant trappists of our mines, are sold and sacrificed to drunkenness, and suffered to grow up reck- less, abandoned outcasts. Adults are not only free agents, but so fiee to work when it pleases them, or to abstain from working, that we hesitate not to say the State cannot restrain their choice if it would. Our ob- jection to the New Factory Bill for the regulation of adult labour is based upon this simple but broad founda- tion-the bill aims at the impossible, We doubt, not that the Legislature, with the assistance of a policeman,' may stop a steam-engine at a given hour but when the restriction of the power-loom brings the hand-loom into renewed activity, what will hinder the factory weaver working at the hand-loom every hour of the twenty-four, during which the mill may be closed, or his wife and daughters filling up their over time with some of the numerous subsidiary employments in the nature of private manufacture, by which in the Manchester trade money may be earned ? This question is generally argued upon the supposition that a reduction of the hours of labour will or will not reduce wages; but the impotency of the Legislature may be placed in a more striking light by considering the effect of the proposed enactments in the event of wages rising by an improved demand for labour. Suppose the case of a manufacturer calling his hands together, and addressing them thus: I have received to-day large orders from China, which must be executed by a given day. I can only deliver the goods within the time required by your agreeing to work, for the next month, fifteen hours instead of ten; if you will do so, it will be worth my while to double your wages during this period, rather than lose the order." We ask what respect for a ten hours bill would factory operatives retain, after weighing its provisions against such a proposition ? and whether even a police- man stationed in the engine-room to detect forbidden strokes of the piston, would feel it quite safe or prudent, in the circumstances described, to act the part of in- former ? —————— ——————
I FREE TRADE TESTED BY THE…
I FREE TRADE TESTED BY THE FAMINE. [From Blackwood's Magazine.] Never was a truer observation than is made by the free traders, when they assert that goods will not be sent into a nation for nothing; and that if our imports increase, something that goes out must have received a proportional augmentation. They forget only one circumstance, which, however, is of some little conse- quence, namely, that two things may go out, goods or specie. We have melancholy proof, in the present state of the money market, that the latter occurrence has taken place to an inconvenient and distressing extent, and that this is the direct cause of the extra- vagant rate of interest charged on bankers' advances, and the general scarcity of money felt throughout the country. That the capital of the country is not only sufficient but abundant, is decisively proved by the fact that, notwithstanding the vast extent of the railway and other undertakings of a public character going on both in Great Britain and Ireland, Government has borrowed the loan of E8,000,000 for the relief of Ireland at 1:3 7s. 6d. per cent. The three per cents are about 90, yielding about the same return for money. But is currency equally abundant ? So far from it, the bankers are charging six, and the persons making advances o» railway concerns seven per cent. The holder of capital is glad if he can get three and a half per cent. but the holder of currency will not let his notes or sovereigns out of his hand for less than six or seven per cent. Can there be a more convincing proof that the currency of the cpuutry has been unduly drained away^jigid that tlje., present monetary system, which forbids any extension of it in paper when the specie is abstracted, is based on a wrong foundation ? Sorely perplexed with results so diametrically opposite to all their doctrines as to an increase of importation being necessarily attended with a proportionate increase of exportation, and of all apprehension of an undue pressure thence arising on the money market being chimerical, the free traders lay it all upon the famine at home and abroad. The potato-rot, it is said, has concealed the effects of free trade distress in foreign nations has disabled them to purchase our manufac- turers in return for their rude produce the increase of British importation has come too soon to operate as yet on their purchase of our manufactures. Here, again, the facts come decisively to disprove the theo- retical anticipations. So far has the increase of our importations been from being sudden, and come last year for the first time on foreign nations, it has been remarkably gradual, and has gone on for years, having received only a great impulse in the articles on which the duty was lessened or removed last summer. Our general imports have steadily advanced for the last three years and in particular articles the same progress has been conspicuous. How, then, has It happened that this general, continued, and steady increase of imports has issued only in a diminution to an alarming extent ofcxport ? The nations who sup- ply us with grain do not want our manufactures. They will not buy them. What they want, is our money. They have not, and will not have, the artificial wants requisite for the general purchase of manufactures for a century to come. Generations must go to their graves during the transition from rustic content to civilised wants. A'lierica has sent us some millions of quarters of grain this year, but there is no increase in her orders for our manufactures. On the contrary, they are diminishing. Even the free-trade journals now admit this constrained by the evidence of their senses to admit the entire failure of all their predictions. The reason is evident. They want our money, and our money they will have and if they find our manufactures are beginning to flow in, in enlarged quantities, in con- sequence of our purchase of their grain, they will soon stop the influx by a tariff. This is what we did, when situated as they are-it is what all mankind will, and must do, in similar circumstances. It was distinctly perceived and foretold by the Protectionists that this effect would follow from free trade, and that, unless something was done to enlaige the currency to meet it, a commercial crisis would ensue. » Lastly, the famine has taught the empire an important lesson as to Irish repeal. For many years past .that country has been convulsed, and the empire harassed by the loud and threatening demand for the repeal of the Union, and the incessant outcry that the Irish people are perfectly equal to the duties of self-govern- ment, and that all their distresses have been owing to the oppression of the Saxon. The wind of adversity has blown, and where are these menaces now ? Had Providence punished them by granting their prayer —had England cut the rope, as Mr. Roebuck said, and let them go, where would Ireland have been at this moment ? Drifting away on the ocean of starvation. Let this teach them their dependence upon their neighbours, and let another fact open their eyes to what these neighbours are. England has replied to the senseless clamour, the disgraceful ingratitude, by voting ten millions sterling in a single year to relieve the distresses whichv the heedlessness and indolence of the Irish had brought upon themselves. We say advisedly, brought upon themselves. For, mark-worthy circum- stance the destruction of the potato crop has been just as complete, and the food of the people has been just as entirely swept away in the West Highlands of Scotland, as in Ireland, but there has been no grant of public money to Scotland. The cruel Anglo-Saxons have given it all to the discontented, untaxed Gael in the Emerald Isle.

CAPE or GOOD HOPE.—Cape Town papers to the 23d of January have arrived. They state that the ope- rations of the forces under Colonel Somerset against the chief Pato, and in the capture of cattle in Creili's country, have been very successful, and that reasonable expectations are entertained of a speedy end of open war. The number of cattle captured was considerable, but far short of the number lost by the colonists, and in all probability, far short of the number of colonial cattle still held by the Catfres. ARRIVALS OF FOOD.—A letter from Liverpool, of the date of Friday, says- Whetlier in answer to the fast or not, during the last forty-eight hours there has been the largest arrival of bread stiijfs and other provisions ever known-—nearly forty thousand tons, it is stated. We may expect to hear of suicides now in the corn market. The demand for Ireland seems supplied by direct arrivals at Irish ports, and vessels are actually coming in here from Cork, not being able to sell their cargoes there."—Another letter, iu Saunders's News Letter of Monday last, says that 90 vessels arrived in the cove of Cork in one week, and that a large Amc-j rican fleet lIIust be iicar at liaiid. —
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.1
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 1 The Queen, Prince Albert, and the Royal family, have left Buckingham Falace for Windsor Castle. We understand that it is the intention of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, at the close of the summer, to visit Germany, to visit their illustrious relatives, when the Royal Duke and Duchess will be accmpanied by the Princess Mary. On Thursday the Duke of Northumberland was elected President of the Middlesex Hospital in the room of his late brother. The Earl of Orford has made an abatement of fifty per cent. on the rental of all his allotment tenants in Dorsetshire. Lord Charles James Fox Russell, a brother of the premier, has been returned for Bedfordshire in the room of the late Mr. Astell. There was no opposition. The King of Holland is seriously ill. Lord Saye and Seale died on the 31st ult., aged 49. Marshal Soult entered his eighty-third year on Mon- day last. He was made a Marshal of France in 1804, and consequently had held that high rank 43 years. There were on Monday week in the Cork workhouse, 5530 persons. The deaths in the house last week were 171. Major General W. D. P. Napier, C.B., has vacated the staff appointment of lieutenant governor of the Islands of Guernsey and Alderney. Mr. O'Connell accompanied by his youngest son and his chaplain, Dr. Miley has left Paris for Italy. The last news from Cork represents the famine fever as having become contagious and the grand jury passed some strong resolutions, expressive of the danger they encountered in attending their duties; calling for the act of 9th Victoria, touching fever in Ireland, to be put into immediate operation. A Polytechnic Institution has been formed at Bombay. Copper mines have been discovered in the island of Masseera, on the Arabian coast of the Red Sea. Prizes were lately offered by the French government for the composition of religious and moral songs, and no fewer than 1,700 competitors entered the lists. At a late meeting of the journeymen carpenters of New York it was proposed to fix the wages at 14s. a-day an amendment proposing 13s. was carried. The Birmingham Journal reports a case in which a stationer subjected himself to transportation for 14 years, had the law been carried into effect, for exposing for sale fictitious bank-notes, payable at the Bank of Love, of Folly, and the like. The Englishman (Calcutta paper) states that an officer at Bangalore has succeeded partially in gran- ulating gun cotton, so as to produce a species of white gunpowder. The German Journal of Frankfort states from Berlin that the King of Prussia is about to issue an edict, having for its object a larger degree of religious toleration than now exists. An Irishman was taken up before the Warrington magistrates the other day for begging; nothing was found on him but a large ball of soap, as "he liked to be clean, though he was poor." The soap was cut in two, and inside was found £16 In gold, The military schoolmasters about to be trained at Chelsea on the new system are to be amenable to mi- litary discipline, and, if approved after probation, will be enlisted as soldiers and take rank immediately after the serjeant-major. They will be mustered monthly with the corps, but their occupation will be confined to their scholastic duties. Last week the wife of the Rev. J. Rider, vicar of Nuneaton, near Coventry, was safely delivered of four children who are all living. About ten months ago she had three children at a birth, who are still living. A guard on the Great Western railway has written a tragedy, called Athelstan," which has been published by subscription. Sir T. B. Lethbridge, Bart., of Sandhill-park, Somer- setshire, has offered a premium of 1:15 to the farmer who shall employ the largest number of labourers the greatest number of days, and pay the highest wages during the ensuing year. More than sixteen hundred seamen have been raised at Bristol for her Majesty's navy within the last twenty months. Sir T. Baring has offered to furnish draining tiles to all the tenants on his Kentish estates, if they will undertake to lay them down. It is said that the Prussian government intends to re- duce the establishment of its army. The gardener of General Harrison, late President of the United States, complained to him that the boys stole his grapes, and advised him to get a good dog. Nu, a,a id get a good- srhwimtuftrr," and he will take care of the boys and the grapes too." The French Chamber of Deputies has rejected a motion for an extension of the suffrage, by a considerable majority. Mr. Thrupp has completed a working model of the statue of the late Sir Fowell Buxton. More than 30,000 negroes in Africa and the West Indies have subscribed towards the memorial of their benefactor. On Tuesday last as fourteen men and boys were de- scending, in "a cage," the Church-pit, near Gresley, Derbyshire, the spur-wheel broke, and they were precipitated to the bottom of the pit. Seven were killed, and the others much injured. Sweetmeats of all kinds, are now made by machines, which are said to perform as much work as nine men. On Saturday last, a little girl, about 5 years old, daughter of Mr. Charles Pime, hairdresser, Aston street, Birmingham, was killed by drinking oil of vitriol from a bottle carelessly left in a brewhouse in which she was plaving. Mr. Aitken, of Aberdeen, has taken out a patent for the manufactre of iron coaches. His trial omnibus, carrying nineteen persons, besides driver and cad, weighs only 11 cwt., and can be drawn by two ordinary horses at the rate of ten miles an hour. The original manuscript of Sir "Talter Scott's Rob Roy, was sold in London, last week, for 1:82. Last week, a maid-servant, employed by a fanllly residing in London, was so overjoyed at see;ng her lover, who came to escort her home, that she fell down and died almost immediately. His Grace the Duke of Devonshire, with a truly noble and philanthropic spirit towards his tenants, has ordered all the hares to be destroyed upon his Grace's domains about Chatsworth.-Derby Reporter. The Rev. H. Solly, in a recent lecture at Exeter, recommended the establishment of picture galleries, the practice of reading poetry, and the reform of the drama, for the improvement of the people. Dr. Buckland, Dean of Westminster, has been elected a trustee of the British Museum, in the room of the late Duke of Northumberland. Several sporting cognoscenti from Whitby attenled i a greyhound course at Harwood Dale, on Wednesday, when they killed the extraordinary number of 10 hares -and 20 sheep. A bill is now in the House of Commons to divide the large rectory of Doddington, in the Isle of Ely, worth £ 9,000 a year. A new College, on a large scale, is to be erected at Leamington, and arrangements have been made for laying the foundation stone, with the customary cere- j monials, on Thursday (yesterday). | The King of Denmark has determined to grant a con- stitution to his subjects. The Spanish Carlist Gencrals, Cabrera and Elio, are now in London, and in communication with the Count de Montemolino. Galicia is to be divided into two provinces—East and West—and Cracow will be made the capital of the latter. Accounts have been received of the sudden death of Sir Edward Vavasour, while on a journey to Rome. It is rumoured that preliminaries are concluded for the reception of the nuncio of Pius IX. at the Court of St. James's, and for the representative of the latter Court at the Vatican. The authorities of the Isle of Man are apprehending all paupers who arrive thither from Ireland. Captains of steamers have received notice that if they carry paupers over, the expense of transmitting them back will fall on themselves. The Marquis of Clanricarde h as presented one of the sons of Mr. John A. Heraud, the epic poet, with an appointment in the Secretary's department of the General Post Office; such recognitions on the part of the government, of literary merit, are at all times gratifying. At twelve o'clock on Thursday at Derby Platts, who was convicted last week of the murder of Collis, at Chesterfield, paid the last penalty of the law. Early in the week he made a written confession, the correct- ness of which he persisted in asserting to the last,-but its contents were not reconcilable with the evidence adduced on the trial. A man, named Daniel Aiken, died in Wexford, Canada West, a few weeks since, aged 120 years. He had during his life contracted seven marriages, and had 570 grand-children and great grand-children—370 boys and 200 girls.—Boston Advertiser. The contractors, Messrs. Coslett and Co., of Newport, have commenced the Works of the Newport and Mon- mouth Line of Railway, being in connection with the South Wales Line. They began the work between Newport and Carleon last Thursday week.—Cardiff' Advertiser. In Aberdeen the operatives have instituted a corn society for the wholesale purchase of provisions and the retailing of them to members at cost price. The entire village of Maeinbresscn, in the electorate ofCassel, is offered for sale, as all the inhabitants, amounting to 600 souls, are about to emigrate to; America. The village consists ol eighty houses. j Sarah Round, a doctress of Coselv, has been com- mitted for trial on a charge of manslaughter, for causing the death of a child, named Hyde, by unskilful treat- ment, having cut its gums with a pen-knife, causing great effusion of blood. The Augsburgh Gazette publishes a letter from Poland, which says—"The misery now prevailing in the western provinces of Austrian Gallicia is fright- ful. An absolute famine prevails, and the starving poor eagerly seize on the bodies of those who die of want as food." We learn from Bremen that from the 1st to the 17th of the present month, 4804 German emigrants embarked at that port for the United States of America aud it is believed that more than 4000 other emigrants will have taken their departure for the same destination before the 1st of April. A respectable bookseller, of Birmingham, has received an intimation that he has rendered himself liable to fourteen years' transportation, by exhibiting fur sale valentines, &c., which resemble bank notes. It appears that by the act 52 Geo. III., c. 131, such is really the case. At Exeter a person named Henry Jarman, a gar- dener, has been committed for trial on a charge of having, in a notice to the Superintendent Register of his intended marriage, made a false statement as to the place he and the young woman were living at. In the High Court of Justiciary, at Edinburgh, on Saturday week, a juryman, who had attended the court j' in a state of intoxication, was fined E20, the Lord Jus- tice stating that as the case might not occur again, the Court did not feel called upon to inflict any very severe punishment. Prince de Polignac (says one of our Paris letters), who was Prime Minister under Charles X., when the Revolution of July, 1831, deposed that monarch, and who underwent prosecution for his memorable press ordinances, expired on Monday night at St. Gerinains.- Morning Advertiser. Accounts have been brought from Monte Video, by a. Danish ship, to the 29th January. An action had been fought on the 2Rt.h between Riveira's forces and a divi- sion of General Oribe's troops, which resulted in the total defeat of the former. The towns of Paysander, Mercedes, and Las Vacas had fallen into the hands of the conqueror. An important commercial case has been decided at the present Mayo Assizes. The brig Glasgow" having been plundered off the coast of Erris of £ 1,000 worth of flour, the proprietors sought to have the amount raised off the barony; but it having in the pro- gress of the trial of the plunderers of the vessels appeared that she was not in distress, Baron Lefroy told the grand jury not to pass the presentment. The vessel was insured, and the underwriters will be losers to the extent of £1,000 by this decision. The Emancipatioti, Brussels paper, of the 30th ult., has the following:—" A well-informed correspondent in Paris states as a fact, which is now certain, that the Emperor Nicholas will visit Paris at no distant time." There is nothing at all improbable in this. It is not fogotten that Nicholas began his amicable advances by sending the Grand Duke Constantine to Algiers and Toulon, where he was well received. The financial operation of the fifty millions is not likely to remain an insulated fact. A bequest has been announced in Aberdeen of some importance to writers in theology. Mr. Burnett, a merchant in that city, bequeathed in 1744 certain moneys, which every forty years must yield LI,600, and in 1854, the second period of appropriation will realise abifut £ 2,400, three-fourths of which are to be given for the best, and, with certain deductions, one- fourth for the second best, treatises on the evidence that there is a being all-powerful, wise, and good, by whom everything exists and particularly to obviate difficul- ties regarding the wisdom and goodness of the deity and' this, in the first place, from considerations indepen- dent of written revelation and, in the second place, from the revelation of the Lord Jesus and, from the whole, to point out the inferences most necessary for, and useful to mankind." In 1814, when the com- petition took place, the principal prize was awarded to Dr. Brown, principal of Marischal College, Aberdeen. and the second to the Reverend Mr. Sumner, now Bishop of Chester.

Lord Stanley, a few nights ago, alluded to Lord Brougham as the noble lord who had just taken his seat;" but, chancing to look round, and seeing the ex- chancellor jumping about like a cricket, begged pardon, and said he meant his noble friend who never took his seat" (great laughter.) REBECCA WANTED.-NVithin a distance of two miles, in the neighbourhood of Falmouth, there are four turn- pikes, to pass through which a traveller with a two-horse vehicle has to pay 3s. 6d. A POINT or LAW.-In New "York a roller boy of a "prifittfig oiffce summoned his employer for five dollars which he claimed to be due 'a him for labour. The judge decided for the plainUti, cn authority older than anything to be found iu Coke --r that the devil should have his due." BRIOK TEA.—The Tartar eoicaists in Russia are said to make great use of tea, which is made into cakes composed of the coarser parts of the fragrant herb. Of this they make a kind of soup, adding to it salt, pepper, and milk. Forty thousand chests of this brick tea, as it is called, are imported yearly into Russia from China. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—Friday wek, during the trial of the Chesterfield murder case at Derby assizes, it was deemed necessary to have a fact deposed to by a ivitness then residing at the former place. The tele- graph was therefore had recourse to, and, wonderful to relate, scercely five minutes had elapsed from the time of sending the message till an answer was received saying that the witness would come by the next train. THE STEAM-SHIP GREAT BRITAIN.—The break- water to the Great Britain still continues to attract at- tention. The sea rolls along her deck in awful gran- deur, occasionally breaking as high as her masts. The noise of the seas rebounding and meeting could be dis- tinctly heard amid the roar of the wind and noise of the breakers on the beach. The tides, with the wind at the south, are expected to be the highest.of the year. TJoirnpatrick Recorder. METROPOLITAN GHAYE YARDS.—The mortslity of the metropolis, at the present computation of 52,0CK) annually, will in five years be 260,000. The lowest pos- sible period that should be allowed for the destruction of the human body in graves would be five years. An acre of ground contains 43,:jGO square feet. If we divide this by 32, the number of square feet required for a single adult interment, we shall have 1,361 as the num- ber of spaces left for graves in an acre of ground. If the biirving-grcunds in London, some of which have been in use for centuries, contain only 80 acres, portions of which have been prc-occupied by monuments, tombs, headstones, and otherwise, this space would receive and give burial to nearly 109,000 bodies,—a calculation which would leave during any given five years, the mor- tality, as above stated, being 52,000 per annum, 151,000 bodies to be disposed of, or in other words, without interment !-JIr. G. A. IValker. TRADE WIT a CHINA.—Among the most remarkable shipments to foreign countries which have recently taken place may be mentioned one of a considerable quantity of opera-glasses, actually so called, and of habit-gloves. The exportation of such articles, parti- cularly the former, would appear to argue all existence of refined civilization in that distant part of the world which was not the case previously to the extension of the commercial traffic between the United Kingdom and the Celestial Empire. UNION Ol.- INSTITUTES.—On Saturday delegates from the Mechanics' and similar Institutes of Lancashire and Cheshire held a meeting in Manchester, for the purpose of discussing the basis and plan of a union" between the bodies which they severally repre- sented. Before they separated, the basis and plan" of such a union had not been only" discussed," but settled and, henceforth, the Mechanics' institutes of these coun- ties are associated for certain definite purposes, which time may augment and expand, and of which, meanwhile the working out is entrusted to a central committee," sitting in Manchester, and responsible to a general meeting of the delegates."—Manchester F.xaminir. SPECIMEN OF THE PEPIN COURT CIRCULAR.—Cer- tainly the scribes who enlighten a most thinking people" in that important chronicle, the Court Circular, might take a hint from the Chinese, as the following extract from the Pekin Gazette shows:—The Emperor, assisted by the princes of the blood, held an examina- tion, in the gardens of Yuen-ming, of those scholars who had not obtained their degree. It is well worthy of remark, that the ruler of hundicds of millions docs not consider it beneath his dignity to act the part of a professor of the Chinese and Mantchoo languages, but shows himself interested in the education of his people, and anxious for their advancement in knowledge. LAUDATORY EPITAPHS —A little girl walking in the cemetery of Pere-la-chaise, Paris, and reading one after another the praises upon the tombs of those who slept beneath, exclaimed, "I wonder where the SINNERS are buried AIEAGP,F. DIET.-It is declared that Soyer must have prepared the new Prussian Diet, for it is so like his soup- there's notliii-ig in if, I)it)tt,h. To be let or sold, for building or rubbish, that tre- mendous plot, called the Neutral Ground, on which ail Irishmen were to meet with the view of improving the prospects of their country. This ground is well suited for premises, but they must be oil a sounder foundation than those upon which it was agreed that the landlords would not oppose any beneficial measure for the real interest of Ireland. The ground in question is admi- rably suitod for a poor-house, if arrangements could be made with the different parties. For further particulars apply to any Irish member, who will be happy to show ihe grounds upon which the proposed mffti"ss?cn? the upon ivliit'li t l :t:
