SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We have the satisfaction to announce that her Ma jesty has been graciously pleased to appoint his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex to be Captain-Gene ral of the Royal Artillery Company, an office of equal rank, we believe, to that of Field Marshal, and which, though accompanied by no emolument, is yet of the highest distinction, it having hitherto been held only by the reigning Sovereign or the person nearest in rank to the Throne. Thus it was held by the two last Kin g s of the Stuart family in succession , and af ter them by King William 11. It was bestowed by Queen Anne on her husband, George Prince of Denmark ; by George I. on his son, who retained it after he became George 11. ; in like manner it was conferred by George 111. on his son the Prince of Wales, who re tained it as George IV. ; and his late Majesty, Wil liam IV. assumed the office in his own person. It is now well and worthily bestowed on the Duke of Sus sex, who has been for many years the Colonel of the Company, and under whose auspices we trust the corps may long prosper ; but we rejoice in the ap pointment chiefly as an indication of favour and con fidence from her Majesty to the most liberal and pa triotic Prince of her illustrious family, and as an au spicious omen of the spirit which is now to predominate in the Court as well as in the Government of our youthful Sovereign.—Morning Chronicle. On the view we took yesterday of the city election, so far as concerned the position of Mr. Grote upon the poll, we rely as a just and effective key to the ac tual state of political feeling in the eastern part of the metropolis. Mr. Grote has fallen to the earth, like the stick of a rocket, and in him and with him is in volved the downfall of tyrannical democracy. Just look at the history of this gentleman's elections for the city of London. In 1833 he was far at the head of the poll, over topping Alderman Wood by near 1,000 votes—the numbers being for Grote 8,412 Wood And Lyall, the Conservative, only Grote's majority, therefore, over the Conservative in 1833 was just 3,300 IA 1835, after democracy began to be a little better ka.;vve, Wt.ol had 6,418 Grote (the beau ideal of the movement) 5,955 Leaving Wood a majority over him of Whilst Lyal, who was accompanied by two other Conservatives, had 4,599 Being in a minority of loteacl of 3,300 We come then to 1837, when we find, that accord ing to the latest official statements put forth, though we have potent reasons to believe most unfair and dis- parag,ing to the suppo►ters of the Conservative candi• date, Mr. Palmer, the electors in the interest of Mr. Grote have been reduced from 8,400 and upwards, %% hie!) was their amount in 1833, to 5,879, being a diminution of 2,500 votes ; while the Conservative poll has exceed d that of 1E23 by about '760, and that of 1835, by nearly 1,300 ; Mr. Grate's majority hay ing in the same tithe, and by the same process, dwindled from 3,300 tl the magnificent (but more thin questionable} sum-total of six. It is, as we said beforc, of little if any moment to the nation generally, w Nether this majoritt he a real one, and such as en titles Mr. Grote to the possession for some longer period of seat in the House of Commons ;or whe ther, on a scrutiny by order of that Housc, it shall tern out to be an actual minority, and the means of seating Mr. Palmer. We know that a legal scrutiny not, as before the Reform Bill, under the eye of the P.-turning Officer, but one under the sanction of the House itself, must and will he shortly entered upon, and if- we are not much deceived will bring certain parties to confession. But, as compared with the establishment of the one inestimable truth, that City - Tholicalism is going out of fashion, and loyalty and r; , ll : 2ion spreading in the place of it, we hold the accident of Mr. Grote representing democracy in its decline, or Mr. Palmer the constitutional spirit in its progress, to be a thing not certainly indifferent to the citizens of Lon don, or to those persons who may sit within the walls of the House of Commons, but of small national. &guificancy. This is not the fitting time (we ar . e too much busied, and too anxious about the future) to dwell upon the accounts we have received of insolent and daring dictation by the Ministers, as well as of gross fraud committed by their subordinate functiona ries, for no end but to defeat the law, their own reform law ! and to crush the freedom of election by every knavish and villanous practice that bad men in despe rate circumstances, and conscious of impending ruin could devise. Those proceedings shall be duly exposed hereafter, ay, and fitly punished. But in the mean while let us look at occurrences more notorious. The metropolitan boroughs of Southwark, Lambeth, Fins bury, and Marylebone have re-elected Radical sup porters of the O'Connell Ministry. Procrastination in the employment of efforts which, resorted to earlier, might have proved successful, besides other descrip tions of mismanagement, especially the splitting votes at Marylebone, have locked up or frittered away the Conservative strength ; but that such strength exists and is maturing, even the facts of those several con tests and their adjuncts prove. Southwark, in 1835, was surrendered to Messrs. Daniel Whittle Harvey and his colleague without the shadow of a struggle, whereas 840 Conservatives have now voted for Mr. Richards. In 1835 Lambeth polled for Alderman Farebrother 919 Conservative votes ; it has now fur nished Mr. Baldwin with 1,587. In Finsbury, the sup port given to Mr. Perceval is in the highest degree credit able to that gentleman and to the electors, considering the late period at which the contest was first thought of and the canvass began. Sir William Horne, when, with a good deal of Conservati ve b ac ki ng , h e f oug h t Sir S. Whalley for Marylebone, in 1835, brought forward just 1,860 votes. On this present occasion, in the teeth of the most systematic and barefaced frauds, numbers of bad votes having polled for Sir S. Whalley, Lord Teignmouth's friends mustered, of votes, against which no valid exception could be taken, 2,925—a1m05t 1,100 more than had appeared en the previous election. Of Westminster we shall now say nothing, but that the game is in the hands of the Conservatives, and that if they lose it, the guilt is theirs, not that of fortune. The tactics of the battle are brief and plain ; they confine themselves to this one movement—that every man who prefers a consti tutional monarchy to a republic, without protection to law, property, or religion, must prove that preference by an early registration of his own vote, and by an ac tive canvass for the votes of all other electors of whom he has any knowledge. All who act thus will have done their duty,and have rendered effectual service to that cause wherein their own dearest interests are comprehended. Those professing Conservatives who act otherwise are but hypocrites, and unworthy the name and rank of Bri tons. Above all, let the Marylebone defeat be a sea sonable warning to the Conservative committees and voters throughout the country. Marylebone has been lost by splitting with a Radical. Especially do we call on the promised supporters of Sir Geo. Murray to avoid this fatal error. For every vote which they split with Leader, Leader will be enabled to bestow a corresponding vote upon Colonel Evans, who may thus possibly be enabled to supplant the great Penin sular warrior, whose breast is as radiant with honour able stars as his mind is distinguished for every sena torial accomplishment. Our advice to one and all is poll early, and pall plumpers. We have the happi ness to assure our readers that the clamorous vaunts and boastings of the Ministerial newspapers, touching the pretended success of their election contests, are ut terly and ludicrously false. The Conservatives have been gaining beyond their most sanguine hopes through out the greater part of England. We shall before the end of this current week present the public with an au thentic list of the results of the struggles which will ere then have taken place, and from which our countrymen may see with their own eyes the real prospects of this des perate Ministry, even before the returnsfbr counties can be quoted, wherein lies the acknowledged force of the Conservatives. Even allowing Ministers the full be nefit of all the seats for London, the boroughs and the just where of Middlesex, those places would remain where they have been ; the Conservatives would lose "' .%ilittiiikWkiiiihey now possess. We beg leave, never lEisrici.76ln k, that Westminster is not over, nor --- -"Cigeksviebebt nor Middlesex over, and that four 4r , j• 7 - : !_--- ""-, •- • f.. y air 4 Air-:.; tign a division, are in those several in *4l.-,,,... •,.-.7-. , ,i , i -. AT ), --4.047:'% 4 - -!z-,..jt-'. _.....-,n,_ ......,, ~3, 717,/, ~= I''~ri:~ '^~f ~~-~ j=~' stances still to be divided. The Conservatives have, in the persons of Sir W. James and Mr. Wilberforce, carried two seats for Hull, which were occupied be- fore by those outrageous Radicals Colonel Thompson and Mr. Hutt. The Conservatives have carried one seat for Wells, which they had not before ; two seats for Bridgewater, ditto ; one seat at least, if not two, for Canterbury, ditto : one for Wells, ditto. We shall, however, as we promised, soon present a list of a nature to make her Majesty's Ministers, much as they proclaim themselves devoted to Queen Victoria, and free as they are with the conversion of her Majesty's name to their own uses—we shall, we repeat, present a catalogue of living consequences produced by this appeal to the people of England, which will draw real tears from the eyelids of some among them for the de cease of William IV.— Times. There can be no greater political misfortune to any nation than that of being placed under the guidance of Ministers who are in themselves feeble and mean spi rited, and are yet pledged to attempt changes which, if they were truly justifiable or politic, would still re quire the most cautious heads and the most determined hearts to carry them into effect without danger of sha kin°. the Commonwealth to pieces. This, however, is the misfortune of the British nation at present. It is in vain that Ministers assume all the pompous manner, ... .._... _____ . . and not a little of the despotic spirit , of a Govern ment conscious of power. It is not difficult to appear mighty in the bestowal of appointments, to be very grand at privy councils, and to be very threatening when persons of inferior power and emoluments presume to act more independently than their official superiors. This is but a poor excuse for that power in matters of real na tional moment which our Government ought to possess —a power derived from the confidence of the more in telligent classes of the public, and exercised with the energy and the ability which, in former times, have distinguished British Statesmen. We do not see how any man—except it be those violent partisans of the Government who appear to set truth, probability, and decency, equally at defiance—can pretend for a moment that the existing Administration possesses either the public confidence or the personal ability which we have adverted to. It is apparent that fur the last two years there has been nothing like general confidence in the Government. Even they who are in the habit of vot- ing with it have not hesitated to speak of it frequentl with reprobation, and yet oftener with contempt. . were an easy matter to cite the speeches of Mr. Roe buck, the publications of Sir W. Molesworth, and both the speeches and letters of Mr O'Connell, in which the talents and the dispositions of the Govern ment generally are treated in anything but respectful language. These persons, and nine out of ten among all those who support the Administration, do so, not out of any respect for the policy of the Government, or the ability of the Ministers, but from a belief that the very weakness and dullness of the Administra tion, and its absolute dependence upon the " destruc tive" party, makes it the most useful Government to that party—the most convenient for carrying the de signs of that party into effect which could possibly exist. A Government openly avowing " destructive" designs would not serve the purposes of the ultra-Ra dicals half so well. They who hate the Church and hate the Monarchy—they who love to see the founda tions of British institutions disturbed and loosened, and made ready to fall at the first furious onset of popular assault—are much better served by the existing Go vernment than by any other which it is possible to ima gine. They are doing the loosening work—they are causing the buttresses to be pulled down, under the pretence of making repairs. I'he process which leaJs to ruin is going on, while a great part of the nation is tdeludA wish the idea that it is merely a little alteration which is carried into effect, in order to accommodate political institutions to the new " liberal" fashion of the present day. Even this delusion does not, however, extend to the belief that the at:ministration does this of its own free will, and by the exertion of its own energy. Everywhere the conviction prevails that the Government is of itself nothing, and that in all it does, beyond the distribution of patronage, and the receipt of the public money, it yields to a power which it would not yield to if place could be maintained on any other terms. Whatever the ultimate result of this may be upon the people, after the ordeal of a revolution shall have been gone through, it must be obvious to every man of common sense that the Government—that is to say, the present constitutional frame of Government in this empire—must, under such a system, speedily fall into degradation, and become a prey to its enemies. A system of Government which is worked, managed, and directed, not by the friends, but under the dictation of the enemies of that system, cannot last. The present Administration is as certainly and as palpably under the dictation of the enemies of the British Constitu tion, in Church and State, as a ship when driving upon a lee shore is under the direction of the storm which it has not the power to resist. Who, then, is to rescue this ancient system of British Government from shipwreck ? Who is to save that political system, under which Great Britain rose to be the greatest among nations, from the destruction which threatens? That can be done only by the electors of the king dom, and 71610 is the time for the great exertion to be made. If such a House of Commons be not returned as will cause a Conservative policy to be acted upon, the British Constitution must fall a prey to those who are watchin g in eager expectation for its fall.—Morn ing Herald. We will not at present say one word about the elec tions, except that in the returns already given to the public there is much suspicion of fraud. It has, we believe, been determined that as large a proportion as possible of the early returns shall be in favour of the Government, and as the Returning Officers are gene rally nominees of the Home Office, and as the poll clerks are, of course, of the same complexion as the Returning Officers, the Whig-Radicals have been enabled to make the appearance of a good fight. Not withstanding these advantages, however, the Whig- Radicals have not yet obtained any victory which ought in the slightest degree to damp the hopes, or relax time exertions of the Conservative party. They have secured for the present their former number of seats for the metropolitan districts—in other words, in the metropolis they have, as yet, neither gained nor lost. And to what expedients have they not been compelled to resort, in order to maintain themselves in this, not very triumphant, position. In the city of London, Mr. Palmer, the Conservative candidate has, according to the Sheriffs' return, lost his election by six votes, in a poll of about six thousand. But everybody knows that when an electioneering contest runs so close as this, the Whig- Radicals will not stick at trifles. Upon an investi gation we have no doubt that many more than six who have been dead for months will be found to have voted for the antaaonist of Mr. Palmer ; and, in addi tion to these, an equal number who never had any right to vote at. all. We should be deeply grieved to find that a City of London election had been car ried on upon the system which Mr. O'Connell and his adherents have made so familiar to the people of Dub lin ; but we fear that this last and bitterest mortifica tion will not be spared us. Whether we are to have the advantage of Mr. Pahner's vote in the House of Commons, or are still to be annoyed and injured by that of Mr. Grote, in either case the recent election fully proves that in the city of London the Conservative cause has made a great advance in public favour since the electors were last called upon to exercise their suffrages. In 1835 the majority of the lowest of the Whig-Radical candidates over the highest of the Con servative candidates was 1,356. And in 1833, when, as in the present instance, only one Conservative can didate was in the field, the Conservative, Mr. Liven, was 1,0 9 4 below the lowest of the Whig Radicals, Sir John Key. How striking and how encouraging, is the change since the period to which we have re ferred ! The Whig-Radicals, to obtain an apparent and nominal majority of only six over Mr. Palmer, the Conservative candidate, have been compelled to resort to the desperate expedient of putting upon the poll books the names of a large proportion of the persons, out of a list of many thousand voters, who, in the course of the last year, have either left the country or died. In the course of the investigation to which the City election must give ri se there :ill occur exposures sufficient to prove that the Whig-Radical leaders are both weaker and more desperate than has hitherto been imagined.—Morning Post.

Amongst the contemplated improvements that have been heralded, we find no mention made of one that would be more acceptable to the public generally than all the others together. We allude to an improved path from Bucking ham Palace to Spring Gardens. A paved path for pedes trians should be made. If this were done, the public would see in the act a desire to promote the comfort and convenience of the humbler and more numerous class of the community. Men would not then complain that whilst 70,0001. were expended for a palace-gate, a few pounds were grudged for the convenience of the public at large. In the absence of this improvement, why, we ask , are many of the Park gates constantly closed, that if o pe n, would contribute greatly to the public good ? We may in stynce particularly that gate opposite the York Pillar. In speaking of St. James's Park, we notice, for the purpose of reprehending in terms of the strongest censure the order which we understand emanated from the Com missioners of Woods and Forests relative to the exclusion of the working casses. The keepers will not permit any person to walk through the enclosure who is not well dressed. The gates are shut to all but the affluent. No person who does not wear fine cloth can pass through the public pathway. We ourselves once saw a farmer who had ventured into the precincts of that part of the park sacred to the wearers of superfine, ordered out and compelled so retrace his steps, because he wore the interdicted dress. He had the air and appearance of an honest English farmer ; and, to our minds, as far as cleanliness, propriety, and neatness are concerned, lie was an infinitely better dressed, and certainly a far more respectable man, than the nauseous dandies who prowl about the Park, with a cigar in the mouth and a glass in the eye, smoking and staring, to the great disgust of every lady who ventures to walk there without an attendant. There would be some reason for the exclusion of these well-dressed blackguards. But although these coxcombs, who daily glitter in almost femi nine finery, are as offensive and contemptible in the eyes of other persons as they are important in their own estimation, yet they are privileged to walk in every part of the Park, whilst no person who belongs to the working class—that class which is paramount in utility, importance, and real re spectability, is permitted to put his foot within the privi leged precincts of the Park. Thursday, the 10th August, is the time definitiely arranged for the Queen and household to take possession of Windsor Castle. On Monday morning, between five and six o'clock, as a gentleman named Roberts, was proceeding along the fields near to Primrose-hill, he discovered a man stretched in the pathway in a lifeless state, and surrounded with a com plete pool of blood. He instantly procured assistance and had the unfortunate man conveyed to the nearest house. A surgeon was shortly in attenda►ice, and on examining the body it was discovered that the effusion of blood had proceedela from a wound in the arm, apparently inflicted with a knife, or dirk. Under the judicious treatment of the medical gentleman, the man, who had only fainted through loss of blood, shortly reco vered, and stated that he was an itinerant vender of tea, which he carried about the country in packets, and that, on the night previous, he was passing along the fields near Primrose-bill, when he was stopped by two men, dressed in blue waggoners' frocks, who desired him to deliver up his money, and the pack containing the tea. Having a stout staff in his hand, he an swered the demand by aiming a blow at the nearest ruffian, which, however, the fellow managed to avoid, and the twoim mediately attacking him, he received a stab with a large clasp knife in the arm, and was at last knocked down, where be re mained insensible till discovered by Mr. Roberts. The villains took the pack, containing 9111 s of tea, and 1/. 14s. 3d. from his pocket. He does not think he should be able to identify the robbers, whose faces were concealed by large neckerchiefs and slouching wide-brimmed hats. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE ST.

Yesterday the Queen, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent , and attended by the Duchess of 'Sutherland, the Marchioness of Tavistock, the Earl of Albemarle, and others of her Majesty's suite, honoured the Exhibition of the Royal Academy with a visit. Her Majesty was received and con ducted through the rooms by the President, Officers, and Council. Her Majesty also condescended to inspect the Li brary, Council-room, and Hall of Casts. Yesterday morning, a few minutes past four o'clock, a desperate attempt at suicide was committed by Alexander Meredith, Esq., at his residence in George-street, Portman square. It appears from the statement of the unhappy gentle man's valet that he returned home at the above-mentioned hour, apparently in a dejected state. On entering his apart ment he sat on the sofa, and requested his servant to fetch him some water. On his return to him he found that he had re tired to his bedroom, and on entering it he discovered his un happy master lying on the floor, weltering in his blood, having cut his throat with a razor. Surgical assistance was procured 1 as promptly as possible, and the wound was sewed up, but no hopes are entertained of his recovery.

The valuable clips of Suther land and Inverness-shire remain unsold, and will either be kept back for another year, or consigned to the care of commission-agents in Liverpool. Mr. Lockwood, from Huddersfield, and other wool-staplers and buyers, were early in the market ; but they seemed disinclined to offer prices higher than at a reduction of 40 per cent. from those of last year. The sellers, on the other hand, were deter mined to hold on for a time rather than. submit to such a fall ; and, accordingly, instead of business being done in wool to the amount of 80,0001. or 100,0001., as we have known on former occasions, the sales this year scarcely amounted to 500/. Some small parcels of Cheviot wool sold at I4s. per stone. The price of Cheviot washed wool (if we may quote a price where so little was done) may be stated at from 12s. to 14s. Black-faced wool, per doubly stone, 14s. to 14s. 6d. The carcass was fortunately more in demand than the fleece. Sheep to the value of 50,000/. or 60,000/. were disposed of at fair prices. The most valuable lot of Che viot sheep in the north, or perhaps in Scotland, was sold by Mr. Houstoun, Kintradwell, to Mr. Andrew Lamb, Li verpool, at 11. Bs. each for weddcrs, and 18s. for the ewes. The former is the highest price by Is. obtained at the mar ket. Last year, the same stock of wedders were sold for 11. I Is. 6d. Two or three more valuable lots of Cheviot sheep, reared in Sutherlandshire, were sold, the wedders at 1/. 75., and the ewes at 19s. One extensive lot of Cheviot wedders was purchased at 22/. 10s. per score ; another lot of Cross wedders at the same price, and others at 22/. and 21/. Some Cheviot wedders sold as low as 19/. The highest price obtained for Cheviot lambs was 13/. per score, the Claggan stock having brought that price. THE YOUNG LADY WHO SINGS. " Those who are at all acquainted with society in En gland must have remarked, that in every neighbourhood there is invariably a young lady who sings.' This young lady in general has a voice like that tin kettle if it could speak, and takes more pride in reaching as high as D sharp than if she had reached the top of the pyramid of Cheops. Whenever she is invited out, her mamma' invariably brings four songs, by that dear Mr. Bayly,' three Germrn songs, two Italian, and one French song. Sometimes, but not always, an ominous green box is brought in the fly along with the music, inclosing the valuable appendage of a guitar, with a sort of Scotch plaid silk ribbon of no earthly use dangling from the handle. " At tea, if you sit next to the young lady who sings, she is sure to talk about Pasta, and beyond a doubt will ask you if you are fond of music. Beware here of answering in the affirmative. If you do, your fate is sealed for the night ; and while half a dozen pretty girls are chatting delightfully together in one corner of the room, as far from the piano as possible, it will be your unhappy destiny to stand at the side of the' young lady who sings,' turning over the leaves for her, two at once in your confusion. At the conclusion of each song, it will be your particular business to repeat over again the words " most beautiful" three several times ; and, while inwardly longing to be flirting with all the six pretty girls in the corner, you will be obliged to beseech and implore the young lady who sings' to delight the company with another solo. Hereupon the young lady who sings,' coughs faintly, and says that she has a severe cold ; but, much to her private satisfaction, is overruled by her " mamma ;" who, turning round from the sofa where she is seated, talking scandal with the lady of the house, says reproachfully, " Well, my dear, what if you have a cold—does that prevent your obliging us? For shame!" Then follows a short pantomime between mother and daugh ter, touching and concerning the next song to be sung. A German song is fixed upon at last, which the daughter goes through in the most pathetic style imaginable, quite ignorant all the time that the subject is a very merry one. All the company pause in their conversation, except the six young ladies in the corner, and the old deaf gentle man who is playing with the poker, on each of whom re spectively " mamma" looks scissors. The young lady, having gone right through from beginning to end, stops at last quite out of breath, as might well be expected when it is considered what a race her fingers have had for the last five minutes, in a vain attempt to keep up with her tongue. " How very pretty !" you observe ; now that there is room for a word. " I think it is," replies the young lady who sings' in the most simple manner imagi nable. " Mamma," now asks successively each of the other mammas whether any of their daughters sing, and, re ceiving a negative, addresses her daughter thus :—" Julia, love, do you remember that sweet little thing of Madame Stockhausen's, which she sung the other evening ?" Hereupon another song follows, and then another at the particular request of the lady of the house, who is all the time dying for her own daughters to exhibit. In this manner the evening is spent ; and, if you are particularly fortunate, you have in return for your patient listening, the exquisite gratification of putting on the young lady's shawl, before she steps into the fly, in which she hums all the way home. We have been a considerable frequenter of parties in our time, and never went to one but the pleasure of it was in terrupted more or less by the appearance of the young lady who sings.' At last, on this very account we gave up going to parties altogether, till one day we had an invitation to a very pleasant house, and received at the same time fr o m another quarter authentic information that the • young lady who sings' was gone into Wales. This news led us to accept the invitation at once. 'At last,' thought we, we shall enjoy an evening in peace.' We went. Coffee came in, and there was no sign of our enemy. Our heart leapt with delight, and we were just beginning to enjoy a philo sophical conversation on raspberry jam with the matter-of fact young lady, when, to our complete consternation, in walked the guitar, the younc , lady who sings,' and her eter nal mamma,' all three evidently bent on destruction. It appears that the young lady, hearing of the party, had kindly put off her departure for Wales just one day, on purpose to be present. " We can say nothing as to what followed this hostile in cursion. for having been unhappily fated to the possession of a tolerable car, w e were o b liged to beat a retreat at once. Since that memorable occasion we have never gone to any party whatever, without first ascertaining, beyond a possibility of doubt, that the young lady who sings' is not to be one of the number. SUPERIORITY or WOMRN.—Women have often more of what is called good sense than men. They have fewer pretensions : are less implicated in theories, and judge of objeets more from their immediute and involuntary impres sion on the mind, and therefore more truly and naturally. They cannot reason wrong ; for they do not reason at all. They do not think or speak by rule ; and they have in general more eloquence and wit, as well as sense, on that account. By their wit, sense, and eloquence together, they generally con trive to govern their husbands. Their style, when they write to their friends (not for the booksellers) is better than that of most authors.—Huzlitt. THE POWER OF WOMAN.--Shakespeare will knew that there is no true pathetic, nothing that can perma nently lacerate the heart, and embitter the speech, unless a woman be concerned. It is the legacy left us by Evo. The tenor of man's woe, says Milton, with a most ungallant and grisly pun, is still from wo-man to begin ; and he who w ill give himself a few moments to reflect will find that the stern trigamist is right.—Bentley's Miscellany. ---- - -- ----- ----- --- PPOWERFUL MUSICAL BOXES, in wood cases, 12 inches long, by 5 inches wide, each playing Four , A mr irs :r w ki i n t: the mechanism finished in a very superior manner, are offered frt.
