The leading country markets held on Saturday were but scantily supplied with wheat. The demand ruled steady, and very fine samples were the turn dearer. Malting bar ley, good sound oats and flour realisedfull currencies. In other produce very little was doing at late rates. Throughout the Continent, wheat has sold at very full prices. In the value of sprint corn no change of import ance has taken place. The American markets have been devoid of animation. The arrivals of English produce up to our market, last week, were only moderaio. From abroad wo received 450 quarters of wheat, 3,992 barley, 6,299 oats, 127 beans, 310 linseed, 160 rapeseed, and 226 sundry produce. Fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land-carriage, the arrivals of English wheat were ♦ery moderate, hence the show of samples was small. Notwithstanding that the at tendance of millers was by no means numerous, there was a slight improvement in the demand ; and, in some instances, very fine samples wore is per qr. dearer than on Monday last. Low and damp parcels moved off somewhat Slowly on former teriv s. We wore but moderately supplied with most kinds of foreign wheat. Importers were very firm, and most of them refused Ito. sell except on higher terms. The business done, however, was rather limited, at fully late rates. Floating cargoes were a slow inquiry. Fine and low qualities of barley moved off steadily at full quotations. Medium kinds were dull, but not cheaper. New malt maihtained late rates. Old parcels were very Tho show of oats wto rather scanty, and the oat trade ruled firm, at 6d to is per quarter more money. Beans— , the supply of which was tolerably good—realised previous rates. _ Peas were firm in price ; but the demand was by no means active. We have to report a fair demand for flour, at full prices.

The supply of foreign beasts and calves here to-day was limited, of sheep seasonably good, and in prime condition. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were moderate ; yet most breeds came to hand in full average condition. As the attendance of both town and country buyers was limited, the beef trade ruled very inactive, at Thursday's decline in the quotations of 4d per 81bs. The best stots sold at 5d per 81bs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, amounted to 1,500 shorthorns and crosses ; from other parts of England 500 of various breeds; from Scotland, 130 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 200 oxen and heifers. We wore very scantily supplied with English sheep Prime Downs and half-breds commanded a steady sale, at extreme quotations, quite Os 4d having been realised with out difficulty. All other kinds moved off slowly, at late rates. We have to report a. slow sale for calves. In prices, however, no change took place, the top quotation being 5s 2d yer Blbe.

COURT OP CHANCERY.. (Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords justices.) TWO APPBAIS-JUDGMENT-VEXNINC. V. LLOYD. Then are appeals from an order of Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood,directingthe appellant to pay into court £5,375 due on a life insurance policy in the hands of the Scottish Widows' Fund Assurance Company on the life of a gentleman deceased. An action •,vas raised in the Court of Session in Scotland for payment of this policy, and ar restments used in the hands of the company, jurisdictions funclundi masa, which is nrt concluded. Afterwards a bill was filed in Chancery for the same purpose. The appellant pleaded—.lst, that he could not pay the money into this court, ir 4 respect that the money was ar rested in the hands of the company in Scotland on a de pending action before the Court of Session, and the docu ments to prove his debt were produced in that action and could not be delivered up. Their lordships were unani mously of opinion that, considering the Court of Session had co-ordinate jurisdiction with the Court of Chancery in England, still that Court must be treated In the same manner as courts of co-ordinate jurisdiction in England,— such as the Court of Exchequer for example— that where an action is begun and not concluded this Court has a right to make such orders as are necessary on the sub ject matter of the suit before it. Their lordships affirmed the order of the Vice •Chancellor and dismissed both appeals with costs. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) JUDGMENT.-GORDON V. WOODFOILD. It will be remembered that some weeks since the defen dant was released from prison, where he was confined for breach of an injunction of this Court, restraining him from cutting down or felling timber on the estate of Derwent water ; an estate of great beauty, and valuable for its timber. In 1854 he became entitled thereto as tenant for life, without impeachment of waste ; but in that year he had, sold the right to cut timber to persons entitled to an interest in remainder, and afterwards executed a trust deed in favour of trustees. His Honour the Master of the Rolls ? on considering the contracts entered into by the parties, was of opinion that the defendants were not entitled to cut down the timber on the estate in the manner proposed ; that the timber not only included the timber mentioned on the estate, but also sap lings or growing timber known as such in that part of the country, and declared the injunction perpetual, with costs to the plaintiff, and ordered an account to be taken. His Honour recommended an amicable settlement between the parties. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) SINGULAR LOAN SOCIETY CASE-RATCLIFFE V. REEVE. This was an action to recover £3 10s. balance of a pro missory note for £5, defendant having been security. The note was produced and the borrower was entered as one Glindon. • Defendant denied that he was security for Glindon. Ho had agreed to be bound for one Newman. He attended one night at the house in which the society was held and find ing Newman had not arrived defendant signed the note produced in blank. Some person had filled in the name of Glindon without defendant's knowledge or consent. The plaintiff did not know Glindon. 30s. had been been paid off the note. Defendant—Not by me. His Honour—Newman might have been a rich man, and Glindon a pauper in the workhouse. Defendant could not be bound for Glindon, and must have a verdict with costs. MEDICAL CASE.-WELCH (EXECUTOR FOR LANODALE) V. LITERATURE. `;even Years, and Other Tales. By Julia Kavanagh, author of "Nathalie," " The Two Sicilies," Three Vols. Hurst and Blackett. 1 . These volumes cannot fail to prove attractive to readers, on account of their variety and the skill which is displayed in their construction. " Seven Years" is the title of the first tale. It is not so lively as the others, but there is more feeling in it. Fanny, the little heroine, is a charming young girl, and there is something really touching in her cheerful endeavours to promote the happiness of those by whom she is surrounded, while she is called upon to sacrifice herself' for their good. The characters of Madame la Roche and her two old servants are well done. These three women had grown old together after a sort of vegetable exis tence. Charlotte and Marie are very well sketched in their different ways, and Fanny was certainly a martyr between them. In many of the other stories there is much to entertain. " The Cheap Excursion" is one of the best comic sketches, and it is ludicrous in the extreme to follow the silly old couple in their devious conrse, fruitlessly endeavouring to make the day an economical one. Their last exploit was to climb up behind a fiacre, fancying they would get home ; but when they got down after nightfall, they were landed in Versailles instead of Paris. The adven tures of the Jasmin family are also enter taining, and the miseries of their splendid apartments were almost as severe as the annoyances experienced through the restric tions of poverty. The crowning; mishap was that they had to get into their be d-room through an upper window in their drawing-room door, which was a performance more distinguished for agility than conducive to comfort. " The Troubles of a Quiet Man" reveal how much confusion may occur in consequence of acceding too readily to everybody's request. The simpl individual here mentioned was very much to be pitied for the end less mischances that supervened on his most harm less pleasures. "An Excellent Opportunity" is a very striking instance of the way in which some of the cleverest sharpshooters sometimes overreach them selves. The man for whom the hero had purchased an annuity, thinking he could not live a month, recovered his health, and threatened to outlive himself. "Young France" demonstrates the foolish extremes to which young men often carry their fantastic ideas of reforming society, when reform ought, in the first place, to be done at home. Although these volumes will not bear comparison with the more elaborate productions of this autho ress, they will be found very deserving of atten tion, and the circumstance of all the tales being French is in itself an agreeable variety. They give a good insight into the manners and customs of our continental neighbours, and the various sketches of human nature in the different scenes and strange events here chronicled are most ably depicted. Altogether, the work will most probably meet with the approval of its readers. De la .Rue's Indelible Diary and Memorandum Book for 1860.—11 e la Rue's Red Letter Diary for 1860. De la Rue and Co. London. The approaching new year makes us think of re newing our diaries, pocketbooks, and almanacs, and it would be difficult to find a more attractive and useful supply of these necessary articles than that offered by Messrs. De la Rue, who display in them all the neatness and finish which usually charac terise their works. The indelible diaries are made in several sizes, and contain every conveni ence o f a pocketbook with all the information generally ap pended to diaries and almanacs. In their various forms they are equally adapted for ladies and gen tlemen, and will be found very useful auxiliaries and note books for all who have many engagements. The red-letter diaries and improved memorandum books are also made in different sizes, and offer every facility to the man of business. TIBBS. This was an action upon a doctor's bill. Mr. Beard, for plaintiff, called defendant, who had been subpcenaed, and asked him if he owed the account ! Defendant —No. Mr. Beard—Did ho not attend you on the occasions noted ? Defendant—No. Mr. Beard—Did he not supply thc. mixtures ? Defendant—No. I have paid deceased when he has called professionally, and produce receipts. He sometimes called on se and had a mixture of mine, rather more palat able than his. (Laughter.) Mr. Beard said he could not carry the case further, and his Honour found for defendant, with costs. CURIOUS PATENT CASE.-BARR V. BARNES. This was an action to recover £5 for instructions. Plaintiff said he was patentee of a very improved method of cutting out in the tailoring business. no had published a book, and had given defendant instructions and supplied him with a diagram. _ _ _ Mr. Beard, for defendant, cross-examined plaintiff, who said he and defendant had been fellow-servants at Messrs. Moses and Sons. Defendant was then called, and denied that plaintiff had given him a diagram or any instructions. Plaintiff had no witnesses, and was nonsuitod. Costs being allowed to defendant and his attorney. POLICE IN2'ELLIGENCE-( VHS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON A GENTLEMAN.—WiIIiam Bignell, a lighterman, was charged with the following assault on a gentleman:— Mr. Hippisley, of 8, Hill-street, Berkeley-square, said that between five and six on Saturday evening he was walking in Piccadilly, when he suddenly had his hat knocked off from be)lind, and the defendant then walked past him, no one else being near at the time. The defendant then rushed on towards Burlington-gardens, throwing his arms about all the way, and assaulting everybody he passed on the road. He went at least 200 yards after him before he came up with him, being determined not to let him es cape, and .then seeing a constable gave him into custody. The defendant had either been drinking or pretended to have been, and at the station made the remark in a very impertinent manner that he was as good a man as he was. r Sergeant Wm. Smith, 1 C, said the defendant was not sober, and very insulting. Mr. Hippisley said he took the matter up as ho thought the public ought to be protected against such men. Mr. Beadon said he should fine the defendant 10s., or seven days. THE DUMB ITALIAN ORGAN-GRlNDER.—Giovanni Battole, the Italian organ-grinder who so frequently is ob served about the streets grinding at the shell of an organ, surrounded by a crowd of blackguard boys, to the great an noyance of the tradesmen in front of whose houses he stands, was brought before Mr. Beadon charged with begging— Is. 4d. being found on him, and ho being at the time in Re gent-street, surrounded by a crowd of boys. Mr. Beadon ordered the man to be imprisoned for a month, and the apology for an organ to be destroyed. THAMES. IMPOSITION ON OMNIBUS CONDUCTORS.—Mary Ann Edwards, a young woman, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with being drunk and refusing to pay her omnibus fare. William Isaacs, the conductor of a Blackwell Omnibus, said he took the prisoner from London to the East India road on Saturday evening, and when she alighted she re fused to pay the fare. She was drunk, and he gave her into custody. Mr. Yardley—She was drunk when sbo entered the omnibus. Witness—l don't know, sir. Mr. Yardley—She did not got drunk in the omnibus. Witness—No, sir, she did not. Mr. Yardley—Then she was drunk when she got into your omnibus. You ought not to allow drunken persons to get into an omnibus. They are a great nuisance to others. The witness said he would not have allowed the prisoner to have entered the omnibus if he had known she was in toxicated. Such tricks as these are often practised upon omnibus conductors, and if they did not pay their employers for every passenger they were discharged. The prisoner said her destination was Bedford-streel Commercial-road, and that she was taken a mile beyond She had already paid her fare. The conductor—No, you have not. Mr. Yardley ordered the prisoner to pay 2s. 6d. to the conductor immediately for his loss of time, and said, if she did not do so, he would fine her ss. The woman was un provided with the money and was looked up. MADAME AND MDLLE. ANGELINA LEMOINE: A letter from Tours says :—" A circumstance which appears difficult to believe, but which is nevertheless per fectly true, is that ld. Lachaud since the late trial has re ceived not less than ten offers of marriage for Angelina Lemoine. These letters appear to speak seriously, but all of them request information as to the fortune of Mme. Le moine. That lady, who is not civilly dead, remains the possessor of her property, but an application is about to be made to have her placed under guardianship. Mlle. Le moine would only have to share the pension which the tribunal allowed her father when he was separated from his wife, if she were not entitled to claim an allowance from her mother." SUPERIORITY OF FEMALE EVIDENCE.-4t the late Liverpool assizes, Mr. Russell, one of the barristers engaged in a case which involved some peculiar an d lute resting female evidence, observed :—" The evidence of women is, in some respe c ts, superior to that of men. Their power of judging of minute details is better, and where there are more than two facts and something be wantiitgl they supply the deficiency. Wherev er th ere i s room f or their imagination, wh ich is more powerful an d ac ti ve than that of man, they imme diately bridge the thing over aid supply the gap." 1856. 103 k 3 TILE w - BATHER AND THE PARKS. As may be supposed, the various parks were yes terday visited by thousands of persons of all classes. Between Saturday night and yesterday the ice on the Serpentine was about three inches thick, and last night had increased to four inches. At two o'clock yesterday afternoon it was estimated that there were at least 12,000 skaters and sliders on the Serpentine,:and that on the north bank and carriage way there were upwards of 20,000 promenaders, as well as a large number of carriages. Before four o'clock the medical officers at the receiving-house had attended to more than a dozen cases of accident mostly consisting of cut heads occasioned by fall ing on the frozen en face. Near the east end a serious accident took place to a boy, whose name, owing to the nature of the case, could not be as certained. The poor boy was sliding along with ethers, when he was tripped up and fell with con siderable violence on the ice, striking his jaw with such force that his tongue was completely bitten through, and the blood poured from his mouth profusely. He was conveyed to the receiving, house and every attention paid him, but it is feared he will be unable to speak. Shortly after this accident a very serious one took place to a person named Richard Kent, butler to a gentle man residing at No. 10, Avery-row, Bond-street, He was passing along the ice near the receiving house when he was tripped up by a skater, and fell with great force on his right arm. On being conveyed to the receiving-house it was found that the unfortunate man's arm was broken in a most frightful manner, in fact, the limb was completely smashed at the elbow joint. He was ultimately taken to St. George's Hospital, where he remains in a precarious condition. About five o'clock a lad suddenly fell through the ice off the north bank, and the alarm havir g been raised, icemen Castle and Griffin went to the rescue, with lines and other apparatus, but in their praiseworthy attempts to save the boy they became immersed themselves, and it was upwards of twenty minutes before they were all taken from their dangerous position, the boy being in a very exhausted state. On the Long Water, Kensington-gardens, the number of skaters and sliders was about 4,000, and there was a vast multitude of lookers-on. The Skating Club had a number of its members present, and some extraordinary evolutions wer.-?, exhibited by many of them. No accidents of a serious nature were reported. The Round Pond was also visited by about 3,000 persons; the ice was about four inches in thick ness, and in fine condition. The numbers on the ice in St. James's-park were estimated at one time at 5,000, and there was a large number of spectators. Several immersions took place, but owing to the 'depth of water being only about four feet nothing serious occurred, yet in consequence of the bad state of the ice the im mersions were frequent. In the Regent's-park the numbers are stated to have been about 20,000, and skating and sliding were kept up throughout the day with the utmost vigour, and fortunately with no serious results, although there were several accidents and some very narrow escapes. Mr. Williams, the superintendent of the Royal Humane Society, reported that according to Messrs. Negretti and Zambra's thermometer the state of the temperature stood in the morning at 25 ; noon, 29 ; and at half-past 7 o'clock, at 23. The ice on the waters at the ,Crystal Palace was in excellent condition on Saturday, and attracted large numbers of visitors, especially to the grand fountain basins, where the water is not more than two feet deep, and a fine open space is afforded free from the interference to which skaters in other places are exposed. FATAL A CCIDENT ON TILE SERPENTINE. Between the hours of eight and nine o'clock on Saturday morning, one of five victims of an alarm- , ing and fatal accident, which occurred from the breaking away of the ice on the Serpentine late on Friday night was found and taken to the receiv ing-house of the Royal Humane Society. The ac cident took place, as near as can be ascertained, under the following circumstances : It appears that shortly , before nine o'clock on Friday night the deceased, whose name is Richard Decks, in company with Mr. Charles Hack and three other City gentlemen, all represented to be in the employ of the extensive firm of Messrs. Cal dicott, Sons, and Willcox, warehousemen, 20, Cheapside, City, determined on availin g them ' selves of the fineness of the night, re paired to the east end of the south side of the Serpentine in Hyde-park for the object of skat ing. A few minutes after they got upon the ice it gave way with a fearful crash, 'apd all five were instantly precipitated into the water. An alarm was immediately given, but by the time the drags and the necessary assistance had been procured two of the party were happily rescued. After much exertion Mr. Charles Hack, aged 21, was taken out, with life almost extinct, and removed to the Society's receiving house without delay. The body of the de ceased at that time could nowhere be found, and, after a protracted search, further efforts were dis continued till next morning, when the body was taken o'ut as above stated. On the removal of Mr. Hack to the receiving house, the Royal Humane SoMety's medical officer, Dr. Christian, 1, 0 vin gton- Brompton, was sent for, and after the appli cation' of the usual remedies Mr. Hack's recovery was effected, and he was removed to his home on Saturday morning. The body of Mr. Decks was discovered near to where the calamity occurred by James Knight, iceman •, it was conveyed to the receiving house, and subsequently to St. George's dead house, until information has been forwarded !to his friends and the coroner. A GHOST STORY IN KENT. For three weeks or a month the family of Mr. Martin, Ashford-road, has been disturbed by mys terious ringings of the door bell, violent shaking of the doors, and divers other annoyances, the perpetrators of which no vigilance - could detect, and to which no clue could he obtained. The family consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Martin, their son, a young man of about 20, another son (an invalid) some years younger, and one female servant. The servant was a staid, demure sort of person, not given to going out over much ; she had no fol lowers, had had two years' character from her last place, and was so much respected and trusted by her mistress that in the summer when the family went to the seaside she had sole charge of the house. The family were of regular habits, and kept early hours, and the whole thing was inexplicable. The effect, however, on the health of Mrs. Martin and her invalid son began to be serious, and the aid of the police was called in. For some time a police. man was almost constantly in the house, but al though the disturbance did not take place while he was there, he had never left many minutes before the bells were again rung, and the doors again shaken as violently as ever. At , length, last Sun day evening, Mr. Maloney placed Sergeant Feather stone and a cordon of police all round the house. The policeman on the premises left about 9 o'clock. In 20 minutes after the back door was shaken vio lently—there was no one within the cordon—and it was at once proved that the ghost was within the house. The police quietly departed, and Fea therstone having instituted inquiries found that the servant girl, under a steady and even a religious exterior, had long carried on a most flagrant and profligate career. On being charged with the per petration of these abominable tricks, she, after some hesitation, confessed her guilt, and that some of the fellows who visited her having come at such hours of the evening as rendered it likely that a disco very would be made, she had invented these noises and pretended alarms from robbers in order to pre vent suspicion falling upon herself. Footmarks in the garden which had seemed to confirm her tales had been made, unobserved, by herself ; and the boldness, coolness, and. dexterity with which she so long deceived everybody was certainly remark able. Her mistress, indeed, up to the very mo ment of the discovery, was so - convinced of her innocence as to be almost unwilling to test it. The girl, whose name is Harriet King, was dis missed—it being - doubtful whether any charge against her could be entertained by the magis trates—and her wages paid to her relatives here on condition that she was at once sent home to her parents, who, we hear, are very•respeetable labour- Lug people at Tonterden.—Maidstone Journal. TIIE FIRST ENGLISII PRINTER. An attempt was made a few years since, at the instance of several leading /ittcrateurs, to raise a fund for a monument to - William CaXton. The learned and the great were present, and spoke loudly in honour of the champion of intellectual liberty for England, but the enthusiasm evaporated in words, and the insufficient amount subscribed having been handed over by Dean Milman to the committee of the Printers' Pension Society, an en deavour has since been made to increase the fund sufficiently for the foundation of a " Caxton Pen sion." With the view of aiding this project, the Rev. J. M. Bellew, a few days since, delivered a lecture upon" Caxton and •his Times," at St. Mar tin's llall, to a numerous and highly interested auditory. After a few prefatory remarks, the rev. lecturer commenced by describing the scene of Caxton's birth in the Weald of Kent, and the careful education be stowed on the young lad by his yeoman father. It was not until the age of eighteen that the young man left his Kentish grammar-school for an appren ticeship in Landon to Robert Large, a mercer of Cheap. The,mercers of London in those days were not mere dealers in small wares as at an earlier period, or mere linendrapers as at the present period ; they were wholesale merchants, and from the time of Edward 111. were the chief woolstaplers of the country, having then constant dealings with the Low Countries, and so being the channels whereby valuable foreign MSS. found their way into England. It was thus William Caxton, in his apprenticeship, met with early facilities for acquiring knowl edge of languages. Remaining with his master until his death in 1441, Caxton then, at the instance of his brother mercers, went to the Low Countries as commissioner for adjusting new channels for their trade, disturbed by the quarrels of the Dukes of Burgundy and the English Sovereigns. Twenty-three years later, in 1464, Caxton was appointed Royal Commissioner by Ed ward 111. to confirm a treaty of trade with Bur gundy. All the best years of his life, therefore, were passed in Bruges, Ghent, Cologne, Mentz, and the German cities, where his long residence made him familiar with the invention of printing and the difficulties which obstructed its early develop ment ; and when the company of printers was broken up by the siege of Mentz, and the partner ship of Faust and Guttenberg dissolved, Caxton became one of the earliest and readiest scholars of an art then no longer secret. He set up a printing press in Cologne, whence he issued his first publica tion, " The History of Troy," but between 1470 and 1474, at the request of Edward IV., he came over to England, bringing with him his printing presses, types, and craftsmen., In the ilmonry of Westminster, just where Victoria-street now com mences, William Caxton, at the age of 60, established the first printing press in England, and, with Wyn ken de Worde and Pynson, his favourite workmen, published the first book printed in England, " The Game of Chess." This was followed, up to the time of his death, in 1491, by no less . than. sixty-two works —in all upwards of 5,000 closely-printed folio pages—the greater portion. translated by himself from the French or Latin, and afterwards " set up" in type, also by himself. He died in his 81st year, while his "Lives of the Fathers" was passing through the press, and was buried in the graveyard of St. Margaret's West minster. Pynson, who received the appointment of King's Printer after Caxton's death, resided where now stands the Times office, and gave its name to the spot. The lecturer, who was much applauded throughout, concluded with a resume of the develop ment of English literature, taking occasion from the example of William Caxton, to enforce the dig nity of labour, and impress the value and sure ulti mate success of earnest perseverance. OVERGROWN LONDON. The growth of London is the astonishment of statists, and the pride of its inhabitants. It has no boundaries,its expansiveness is itithout limit, we can neither say where it begins nor where it ends. Itsincrease is not in houses or hundreds of the population, but it swallows up whole towns and en larges the number of its people in a geometric ratio. What was green country when our grand fathers were boys, is now as completely muralised as London-wall ; what was country when our fathers were boys, is now only a continuation of the stereotype streets and shops, which makes the ra dius longer but not different ; and the quiet that once prevailed is given up to the perpetual rush of of threepenny omnibuses. What was country when we were boys, is gone, gone, even to the last land mark, and it would heed an infinitesimal division of the seconds of latitude and longitude to determine where, but a few yea rs since, was the site of a 'windmill or a cowbarn, or a pound or lock-up. The bits of sooty meadow our children make their way to, and in t heir happy ignorance call "fields," will be sw allowed up in themassbe fore they are married ; a l l built on and i nhabited before any of them can count half-a-dozen in family; and away farther and farther will travel, not the " the thin red lin e topped with steel," but the brown belt topped with chimney-pots. It is very o bjectionable, cannot help it. We may de plore the loss of a row of elms here, and chesnuts there, grow romantic over mossy gate-posts, and prospects that show a bit of green open ; but the mossy gate-post is already doomed, as the site of the new tavern, that is to supply with potables the new town, which will be not a new limb or mem ber, but a mere toe-nail of the plethoric London, which has determined to invade the prospect in its continuation ad infinitum of the unaccountable fo rest of chimneys. The only serious part of the matter is, that this extension is without order, withoirt place ; like a bog, it grows by chance, and housenettle down in blocks as they can find room, according to the price of land, the deg ree of local gentility, and the proximity of roads t o brings the tenants home to dinner. Jack the Giant Killer knew where he was going in his seven-league boots, but London wears forty-league boots, and stalks abroad with an intention of going anywhere, and a determination not to go any where in particular. The creature called an amoeba delights the naturalists by thrusting out an extempore leg or arm wherever it wants one, and very often, so far as we know, where it does not want one, and for the sake of stretching itself ; but the ameba can tuck all its legs and arms in again as completelY as if they had never been thrust out ; but when once London has a new limb there it remains in rigid permanency ; it may extemporise, but cannot absorb its extensions. If it was a " great wen" in Cobbett's day, what is it now, with a population equal to a tenth of the united queendom, and an appetite equal to the consumption of the produce of a county every day P—City Press. Count de Montalembert appeared yesterday be fore the examining magistrate relative to the incriminated article lately written by him.
