FACEIM havp dpviJUfES Fi°R Tr*E ^IL.ITIA*—The non-resistance patty have devised a plan for cutting out the Minni6 Rifle. The tailors-whose zeal for the defence of their native land is uni- form-are to form throughout the country, corps of sharp- shooters, who will be armed with the Needle Gun. The ball of this terrific weapon is to be of cotton, and the needle gun is to be charged with a thimble. Should the French invade us, Our heroes, arising on every side from their shopboards, will march upon them with the goose step, determined either to new their foes up with cotton, or to be themselves worsted in the attempt This mode of providing for the national safety has been devised by the advocates of non-resistance, in order to carry out their wise and magnanimous views on the principle of "a stich in time.

THE EARL OF DERBY'S DIGGINGS.—Various important re- flections are suggested by the statement of Lord Derby, in his speech at Goldsmith's Hall, that be had discovered a British mine, yielding abundance of gold in the form of statesmen. The first is a familiar proverb, which may be illustrated by the re- mark that what pretends to be gold, turns out sometimes to be brass. Some may think that the Premier has rather disco- vered a. mare's nest-or the nest of another quadruped-than a gold mine. Among the officers of state there is a gold stick but we have yet to learn whether or not the Derby cabinet is simply composed of sticks of an ordinary kind. Perhaps his lordship has discovered the philosopher's stone, and has thus been enabled to convert certain leaden ore into a field of pre- cious metal; and, if country gentlemea may be regarded as pigs of lead, he may be considered to have driven his pigs to a pretty market; at least the pigs themselves will th nk so, should that market turn out to be Free Trde. The noble earl's alacrity at turning things to gold reminds us of Midas, and the resemblance may perhaps be thought to be completed by the style of jokes that he has got lately into the habit of making after dinner. We agur favorably from this disposition to jocu- larity. ft promises that his lordship will become aFree Trader perceiving Protection to be no joke.
