A WORD ON SLANG (From Eliza Cook's Journal) It is a mistake to suppose that slang is allied to "vul garity" only. There is a manner of speaking in certain and set idioms in most grades of life and society, which amounts, at least with uninitiated ears, to a conventional slang. We confess it is an ugly and unseemly word to em ploy; yet we contend that the prescribed and vernacular jargon, current in the mouths of many who go about the world in "silverslippers," comes as fully under, this term as the coarse and offensive expression of • a Bill Sykes, though its modification is in a more dulcet tone, and it bears a " patent of nobility," conferred by the aristocracy of civilization. We have danced many a long night through in a fairy-filled ball-room, and listened to pre cisely the same legitimate fashion of address and conver sation—the subjects unvarying —the language methodized into delicate, unruffled, rose-waterish sentences, and the whole scenes acted to such an insipid, monotonous, un changing " libretto " that at the end of th e season , we were fully impressed with the idea, that to be perfectly competent to the duty of " Almfteks," a genteel, and in sinuating " slang" must be acquired. Once gained, it will serve in ail places of the like dedication. There is a ball-room slang, most assuredly, without which, no votary to twinkling feet can hope to distinguish himself. At concerts there can be no doubt as to the technical " grades" which is necessary to make us pass muster. We thought a e were somewhat acquainted with the simple elements of harmony, and that we could gossip easily a ith the shades of Handel and Mendelhsohn; but, Apollo, forgive us ! the last time we attended a" Grand Festival," we stood aghast at our ignorance, and found wo were totally unqualified to sit on the benches of judg ment, that is, it the refined and elaborate "dictionary words" of musical mysteries which rattled about us, constitute an essential in criticism. The minute rami fications of the divine science were handled as glibly and discussed as lightly as plain "Oh dear, what can the matter be," by a housemaid over her broom. " Counter point," " instrumentation," " consecutive fifths," " minor thirds," " dissonances," " diatonics," " dominant harmony," and an interminable legion of such serious and responsible difficulties, were lavishly mentioned.

A confirmation of the fall of the fortress of Rastadt into the hands of the Prussians has not yet been received, although it appears to be rendered still more probable by the accounts contained in letters from Stutgardt, that part of the insurgent forces has crossed the frontier of Baden and. entered .the dominions of the King of WuirrEsinuaf,;. The Wurtemburg troops were preparing to attack and expel the invaders. According to the Deutsche Zeitung of the 29th ult. the head-quarters of the Prussian army on the Neckar are at Ettlingen. The following paragra,at recounts the flight of the Provisional Government; the news is received from Friburg in the Breissgau, from whence we learn that the insurgent Provisional! Government have arrived in that town, the last stege on the road to Switzer land. The inhabitants of‘Lahr made an unsuccessful attempt to stop the jour ney of the Provisional Go vernment andto seize the moneys which they carried with them, and Mr. Bat LINTANO endeavoured to inflict summary punishment on the " rebels" of Lahr by sending them a detachment of 500 Free Corps men with two pieces of artill exy, whom he instructed to levy a large sum of money.

THE MOST DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT EVER INVENTED. CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Go vernments, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal Dock Com panies, and other public bodies, Sic., is particularly recommended to the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturi s, Manufacturers, West India Pro prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre servative. It is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses, farm and other out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories, park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copier, zinc, lead, brick, stone, old comp°, and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent slating. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every ether paint for out door purposes may be easily inferred from the simple fact, that Ito use has been always most strenuously opposed by colour manufac turers, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale of common paints. It is also very economical, any labourer being able to ,ay it on.

Diffidenee, or a sense at right determine the former, and miscalculated httpes ern -Ater the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea at caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un !oaaprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, .nd broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness uid social content. The dowry should not be the only Marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or teglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CIILVERWELL'S little XEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter yon, by their titles, nor be hindered ay mieinterprotation of their supposed contents, from obtaining tiers. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, tut far the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom thay are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on tne above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or ;Tether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other ttle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and As oid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob. servanes of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live alter nature's laws—and to keep always "ninny side of the way."

DiVatches v. - ,re received yesterday, at the Colonial-office, from the Governors of the North American Colonies. The Duke of Buccleuch had a large dinner party yester day) A Tgouttigao Lime, WhitolialL We have received the Paris journals of yesterday morning. Scarcely any comment is contained in the public organs upon the great events which continue to dis tract the attention of the people first in one direction, then in another—to the attack on Rome—to Russian intervention in Hungary—to Prussian intervention on the frontiers of France—to the undecided policy of the POPE—to the position of Austria in Italy—to the approaching elections in Paris—and to then state of siege with all its irksome accompaniments, the gagging of journalism and the suppression of public meeting. Add to all these exciting topics the defi ciency in the national revenue, the recast of patties, and the doubts entertained as to the positive intentions of the Barrot-Dufaure-Tocqueville-Falloux Admi nistration—it must be evident that if silent, the journals are only so "on compulsion." Take but away the gag imposed upon the press since the 13th ultimo, and we should have enough and to spare of the commentaries of our Parisian contemporaries on passing occurrences. The National contains the list of the Republican candidates for the representation of the capital :—the chosen names being those of—Charassin, E. Demur, Dupont (de Bussac), Flocon, Goudchaux, Guinard, Joly (pica), C. Malarmet, Proudhon, Ribeyrolles, the principal editor of the Reforme, an d Vidal, the editor of the Travail Affranchi. " hus," it is remarked, " as the one side, to obtain Maensvirdai, will accept GARNIER PAGES, the other to have BROUDII9N will put up with GOUDCHAUX." The Repu:blican list of candidates is almilysecl in these words by the Evenement : " MM. Joly, Flacon, and Ribeyrolles represent the democratic Revolutionists ; MM. Vidal and Proudon the Socialists • MM. Dupont (de Bussac), Guinard, and Goudchaux, the friends of the constitution; M. Demay is a flattery to the army. As for M. Charassin, a lite rary man, and M. Malarmet, a worker in bronze, we do not know them sufficiently to say what they represent, unless it be literature and manufactures. But the party of revolutionary opposition must be in a state of pitiable confusion to have arrived at these desperate fusions, and at these compromising arrangements, in which the name of M. Goudchaux is written by the side of that of_ Proudhon." What is singular in the matter is tliot Ct ovDCHAUX is the very man who once quitt:d the Assembly while PROUDHON was speeki.g, unable, as he declared, to contain hi: terror and disgust. Besides the foregoing list, the Notional, among other interesting articles, contains a long letter from a superior officer in the army, before Rome, dated the 24th ultimo. Lengthy, however, as the commu nication is, it gives no further details of any im portance beyond those already published. One of the thousand and one rumours prevailing in the capital of the French Republic, as to the intentions of OuDINOT, was to the effect, that in consequence of the continued resistance of the Romans the siege would be changed into a blockade, a supposition which appeared in some measure to countenance, by the continued reinforcements dispatched from Toulon to Civita Vecchia. The fourth number of M. de LAMARTINE'S cele brated journal the Conseiller du Peuple, which had just been issued, contained an eloquent article from the pen of the great publicist, entitled Republique et Anarchic; ou Democratic et Demagogic. Speaking of the 13th of June, M. DE LAMARTINE observes : " The day after his elevation to power, the Dictator whoever he might be, would ory—To arms! Form your battalions; pass the Alps on this side, the Rhine on that. Cross the Pyrenees! Invade Belgium on the north! Inundate Germany, Holland, Prussia, Poland, Hungary! Raise the people in every direction! Re volutionize the continent. Begin the Crusade of Dema gogues in all directions, and you will unquestionably follow your leaders—some of you through fanaticism, others through fear.' Do you know what would happen then ? (continued M. Lamartine.) I will tell you ; and with the same frankness, the same certainty, as if the fatal event had already passed before my eyes. I will tell it to you, because I know it to be the fact ; because it is my business to know the spirit that actuates foreign nations; the strength, as well us the weakness of Cabinets • the cha racter of the people, the amount of armies. Well, then, at the very first moment such an appeal was heard, you would be like the swollen stream that overflows its banks. Here and there, in Italy and in Belgium, on the banks of the Rhine, in the smaller and insignificant states of Ttnly, and Germany especially, you would obtain brilliant success; you would sing a few Te Deums —that is to say the Ca-Ira, the Te Deus of the guillo tine. You would enter Brussels ; you would fraternize with the German and Belgium demagogues in the Prus sian cities of the Rhenish provinces ; you would raise a part of Savoy, of Piedmont, of Genoa, and of Naples, perhaps; perhaps even you might gain a first victory, like Jemmappes, over the first Austrian or Prussian army that would dispute Germany with you. But after all that, do you know whom you would encounter 58 the rear guard? Nothing less than the continental world in arms against you Yes, I repeat, the very day after you had de clared war against the Continent, England would pro claim the coalition. Believe it, it is England that alone has it in her power. But so long as you only maintain your own rights, so long as you remain in your own territory, while you do not violate the laws of nations, and while you respect the rights of the people, even England is powerless against you; she cannot form a coalition without exposing herself to ruin." This article created an extraordinary sensation immediately on its appearance. Actuated by a strange freak, the town of Rheims has opened a subscription for M. LEON FAUCHER, for his firm and energetic conduct whilst Minister of the Interior. M. RENAULDEN, the Prefect of the Bas Rhine, has resigned, and his resignation has been officially accepted—in consequence of his refusal to demand that the department under his charge should be placed in a state of siege. All the accounts received from the French provinces represent the approaching harvest as most abun dant. It is expected that the wheat and oat crop will produce at least one-third more than that of the last year. of The the followingreports graphpara prevalent o b e e v g e i n v t e s n o a s t a i s t a o m m p e le ; although the date (the 23d ult.) is sufficient to show that the whole is a fabrication, seeing that both the last dispatch received by the French Cabinet from General OUDINOe aad the letter from one of his offi cers, published in the National, are dated on the 24th ult. Here, however, is the paragraph : " 11 Saggiatore, Turin journal, of the 28th ult., pub lishes ale ter from the French camp, dated the 23d. It was believed that the National Guard of Rome was fighting with the soldiers of the chiefs Masi, Garibaldi, Bartolueci, and Medici. If Sturbini and the National Guard get the upper hand in the struggle, which appears to have commenced, if one may judge from the firing which was heard, they will open the gates of Rome to the French. The tocsin was sounded in the city to call the people to arms, but the people showed little disposi tion to respond. The National Guard and the Carabi niers only wished to serve for the maintenance of in ternal order. The Roman soldiers of the Legion refuse to fight in open field—that is to say, they do not wish to go outside the walls." A letter from Chalons states, that wltl3l. aka Jest few days a number of German insurgents have passed through that town to offer their services to the Roman Government. A letter from Lyons states that the battalion of the regiment in which Sergeant-Major LEROY, of the engineers, has been appointed a Lieutenant, in con sequence of his having refused the patronage of the Socialists, have presented him with a sward of honour. Ir, was reported in the Assemtlly that General LIMO RICIERE had accepted the post of Ambassador to one of the great Powers of Europe. There was but little business transacted at the Bourse to-day, and Government Securities suffered a further decline in price. Some confusion was created towards the close of the day by the arrest in the great hall of a respectably dressed young man, who was said to be a notorious clubbist.

REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE. In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at tke expense of an other ; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling value and universal import as must prove, in the fullest sense of the term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may be effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated business system, will readily show. POSSESSING L IRGE ESTABLISHMENTS in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash, at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal percentage upon original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain gures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together with the accommodatio 'Worded by the exchange of garments lot approved after ~••• dvantages to our patrons such as have ben" :,,ictom, if ever, elsewhere pres. - -Itd, enabling them to effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item " Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief price list will testify to some extent : READY MADE.

PRUSSIA. _ Accounts from Berlin are up to the 30th. Although the prelizetinary inquiries into the charges against M. WALDECK had then been con cluded, the most profoun.d secresy was observed as to the result. FRANKFORT. The wreck of the National Assembly, driven from Frankfort, contemplates sitting at Constance. WURTEMBURG. The Government has. discovered the existence of a republican conspiracy, and the Ministry are about to demand from the Chamber of Deputies an authorisa tion to iz-secate several of its Members who are said to be implicated in the •plot. AUSTRIA. Vienna papers to the 27th ult. inclusively have ar rived. On the preceding day the young EMPEROR had left Schoenbrunn to place himself at the head of the army. The head- quarters a HAYNAII, the Commander in-Chief of the Austrian forces, are said to have been removed from Presburg: to Altenburg. PERZItEL'S corps is slated to have been entirely dis persed, and the Ban JELLACHICH was reported to have pushed forward from Peterwardein, eastward to Temesvar, and westw aid to Zombor. Several Honveds, exhausted by fatigue, had been brought into Vienna acs prisoners. By the last accounts Field-Marshal PASKEWITSCH had divided his army, and was advancing towards the Danube in two divisions, the one against Debreczin, the other against Pesth. The Magyars are described as having withdrawn from Oedenburg to Pl atten. The Imperialists are beginning to brag already about the victory they are going to obtain over the Hungarians near Comorn or Raab. We suspect they will find GEORGET 11., somewhat tough customer, much as they count on. the numerical superiority of their own forces. _ _ _ On the 13th preparations were being made by the Russians at Bucharest to set out on their march. This is taken from the Wiener Zeitung, so that we must discard all former " well authenticated" re ports of the Russian entry into Transylvania as un founded. A rumour has got abroad of an attempt having been made on the life of General HAYNAU, at Pres burg. The aspirant to the honour of assassin was, it is said, taken into custody. DENMARK. Accounts from Hamburgh to the 29th ult. state that since the advance of the Prussian forces north of Aarhaus no intelligence of importance has arrived from Jutland. It was. expected, however, that in so conducting his troops, General. PIUTTWITZ was actuated not so much by notions of attack as by those of convenience in regard to quarters and provisions. The Copenhagen journals of the 28th ultimo con tain no news of particular interest. All the regiments of the Schleswig-Holstein army left Rendsburg on the 28th ult. for the north. The Hamburger Correspondent has letters from Schles wig, stating that the German troops have advanced four miles beyond Randers. ITALY. Later intelligence has not arrived from Rome, but further particulars up to the 24th ult. inclusively have been received. _ _ _ It appears that although the Romans were taken by surprise by the assault on the 21st and 22d of June, they managed to fire no less than between 600 and 700 cannon shot against their assailants. The Italian journals contain accounts of the pro ceedings of the French, corresponding with the bul letins of General OUDINOT. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 27th, again contains accounts from Civita Vecchia to the effect, that the French had been repulsed and driven back from the walls to their original positions, and that hostilities were suspended. It says that General LEVAILLANT and other superior officers disagreed with General OUDINOT, and that the latter gave the order for the assault contrary to their advice. They propose to change the assault into a blockade. Some letters say that OUDINOT had embarked on board a steamer for France. The Corriere, however, also says it has received other accounts that, though the French have made no further progress, they yet occupy the breaches, and were still at work erecting their batteries on the 24th. While the Paris Constitutionnel declares that " all the Italian journals, even those that are the adversaries of the French intervention, coincide in saying that, but for the French having tried every means in order to avoid the injury of the Roman monuments and the destruction of the oppressed population, Rome would have long since been in their possession"—the National describes the damage done by the French artillery to some of the choicest frescoes of DOMENI. cum), and to the church of San Carlo at Catinari. On the 21st ultimo the anniversary of the en thronisation of his Holiness Pope Pius IX. was celebrated with extraordinary pomp at An cona. During the chanting of high mass in the cathedral church of the Crucifix the great Pon tifical banner was hoisted on the citadel, and was saluted by the artillery of the ramparts, and by the Austrian vessels in the harbour. After the perform ance of the religious, there was a grand _m;utary-,, ceremony, in the course of which M ar shal ylb prr distributed medals. to those who had distinguished themselves in the campaign, addressing them in eulo gistic language. The Piedmontese Gazette announces that the death of CHARLES ALBERT must be regarded as almost certain, according to a letter of the Sardinian Consul at Bayonne, dated the 21st ult. In consequence the places of public amusement in Turin were closed, and the Risorgimento and Saggiatore were in mourning. The Turcan Mond'sr of the 24th ult. publishes the following :—" At Padua a deputation is expected from Venice to treat for the surrender of the city. M. BE BRUCK, the Austrian Plenipotentiary, is also expected at Padua." Letters from Turin of the 21th ult. state that the conclusion of a commercial league with Austria had greatly alarmed the manufacturers of Turin, who anticipated from such a measure the destruction of the Piedmontese manufactures. The Government had refused to accede to the exigencies of Austria, and the negotiations were interrupted. The electoral colleges were to be convoked for the 16th of July, whether peace were concluded or not. The 17th and 18th Regiments of Infantry, which were to have reinforced the garrison of Alessandria, had been ordered to Piacenza, Parma ; and Guastalla. Another Sardinian corps would, it was believed, enter Tuscany to maintain tranquillity in that country. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

The l Koval Mail steamer from the West Indies has arrived, and doe s not bring favourable accounts from the colonies. The let cars are not yet delivered. There is a bullion freight of 270,3400/., and this includes no less than 300,000 dollars irom Cr lifornia. Some.; idea of the present state of Canada, and the ember rassme nt of :its finances, which unless remedied must bring about a serious crisis, may be formed from the following par ticulars in a local journal received yesterday by the Eu ropa :—" In 1840, the debt of Lower Canada was 113,9751., we ,were- saddled, it is true, with a debt of 1,271,744. from y ve A o 9 l:s s Upper Canada, but united, that of the whole province only amounted to 4385,7204 k The credit of Upper Canada was at a very low ebb ; the great works which were necessary y e: s dr e l o e r a . i v lr l ot : m ; e ro i rteoawd theirevdpa unnboeelaiscr. for that trade of the province were proceeding v pr e o r , o o yon th k a e s toL receivedEo t i l gl s a y n d d et , ne n a h n da d emrh co uld fao dr succeede d in uniting the two provinces, the Upper Canadians y o lo n st a no Vime in taking advantage of our good credit to carry rnacadad sizing roads, buildi n g • bridges, ports, canals, &c., of immense cost and extent. Some idea may_ be formed of their share lit the budget, from the s' thisr year's return, the Welland Canal, ng ein em classed at 68,1551., about one-sixth of the whole g expenses of the Kt )vince. Lower Canada continued after the union as before, spending little, improving little ; its credit , however, was, as may be imagined, considerably impaired by the increased expenditure of the whole pro vince. The interest of the public debt of Canada is to day, accordin g to Mr. Hincks, 200,0001. ; the whole expenditure of the. province was for the year 1848, and will probably exceed in 1849, 414,1771.; total, 614,1771. ; against which the revenue return of last year presents a sum of only 379,7451. 7s. Bd. The annual deficit, even supposing that notwithstanding the free trade policy of England, Mr. Hine& tariff, and local agitation, commerce remains still as pros perous as before, will be upwards of 200,0001. Thus the capital of the debt will go on increasing in a very rapid natio. To pay the interest, the Government will be obliged to issue debentures, on a perfect railroad scale ; for some rears yet to come no other available source of con siderable revenue will present itself. At what discount de bentures may be current we cannot, of course, now foresee; but any intelligent person will perceive that they will only be received at a heavy loss in England, where the Whigs call us bankrupts, and the Tories think us on the point of annexation. In Canada, if trade continues to decrease in the ratio it has done for the two last years, their value will be positively nominal. Canada Debentures will be placed on the same par as the Pennsylvania Bonds, and well will it be for the province if the disgraceful word repudiation be never pronounced in our Legislative Halls." There is evidently work here for the Legislature, and some speedy action should take plack in the matter. The polling in favour of Baron Rothschild goes on so tri umphantly that there is a feeling of ridicule attached to the efforts of his opponents. At the London Dock meeting to-day, the usual dividend of 2% per cent. for the half-year was declared, and a very fa vourable statement was made of the business of the com pany. The new wool warehouses, which will allow of 8,000 bales being shown for public sale, are already nearly full, al though not long since completed. The dividend will be paid on the 10th inst. The Colonial Bank proprietors have also had their meet ing this morning, and a dividend of one per cent. for the half-year has been declared. The profits have diminished, owing to the increased caution exercised by the directors, but the business is sounder. The English Funds have remained comparatively dull, and the report of a renewed complication of the Roman affair, and the recal of General Oudinot, has some effect. Consols have been 91 3 / 4 to 91%. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. 92% to 92%, and the Reduced Three per Cents. 9116 to 91%. Bank Stock is about 194 to 195. Exchequer-bills have been 445. to 475. premium, and India Bonds 695. to 71s. premium. The Foreign Securities have been very quiet, being marked 33 to % for Spanish Three per Cents., 28 to f for Mexican, 29% to 29% for Portuguese Four per Cents., and 80 for Brazilian. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 50 to 50i ex. dividend. Railway Shares are again fiat, and generally lower, and the speculators for a fall make the most of the unfavourable circumstances connected with two or three of the York lines. The returns of railway traffic for the twenty-four weeks of this year show a gratifying result compared with last year. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)

The house was well at tended. Some very amusing novelties are announced, which will employ tke talents of Arnal and Madame Doche until the close of the season at the end of next week. A BROAD lIINT.- 41 Sally, what time does your folks dine ?" " Soon as you go away; that'a DlisBus' orders." —Rochester .4.Yorth Star. We confess we were afraid to speak; we were in rap tures over many of the solos, and enthusiastic to slight insanity during the choruses; but as we knew not how to make our pleasure audible, in acceptable phraseology, we prudently remained silent, and felt. half ashamed of our inability to participate in the oral hieroglyphics. We had a shrewd idea that we could have As fully ex pressed our tasteful discrimination, and our intense ap proval, as our neighbours; but certainly not in their peculiar way, so we betook ourselves to deep study in chromatic" And now y; yet w wee the erudite and black letter lo re o f mus i c , b eg i nning with " Lasus of Hermion e ," an d en di ng w i t h " Cle ment" o f " b reves " an d " natural chords, " w i th tio flu enc a.r cano secretlyventure o o f to op i n t i a o l n k t hat most i t sounds very like a superior " slang.' " Tell it not in Guth " though, or we shall never have another concert ticket sent us. All the world must have observed the routine of cour teous and superficial utterance attendant on " morning calls," when healths are inquired after with strict gram. matical solicitude, when running allusions to popular subjects of gossiping interest are " got up" with dramatic accuracy, as to text, and duly delivered in some half dozen drawing-rooms, where compliment and scandal are administered according to " elite" authority, in words and tunes that have no variation from their first visit in Woburn-plaeo, their latest lingering in Belgrave square. Genuine, simpic matter-of. fact English, would never carry people through the embassies of " morning calls." Oh, dear no ! be assurct., reader, that the tongue which acquits itself creditably in such work must be acquainted with a certain method of speech, which is nothing more nor less than an elegant and refined " slang"—a certain way and manner of talking, spangled nothings—which would sadly per plex those foolish folks who have an obstinate knack of saying only what they think and what they mean. " Evening parties" are sustained on the same " deriva tives" and " elements" of language, perhaps rendered occasionally a little mor e " mellifluous" in sound by the " liquids" of negus and champagne. Who will deny that there is a most distinct, and not very euphonious, style of "slang " upon "'Change ?" Only put your head into " Capel-court," and if you do not confess that the business there is carried on in more abstract and exclusive terms than any ever employed by " Paul Clifford," or " Gentleman George," we will con sent to give up our shares in the " Californian Junction Line." We sought to become enlightened in this living Sanscrit; we anxiously inquired into the natural his tory of the " bear," and endeavoured to gain a few particulars of the physiology of the " bull," but in vain; every interrogative was met by some masonic " 'Changeism," which our simple brain could not possibly interpret. We tried to learn something of the " stag," but our most determined attempts were frustrated by the opaque "transcendentalism" of our city " Buffon." We have frequently seen one in the distance with the " pack" at his heels; but we know not to this hour, whether tears ever "course down his innocent nose." We made a rash and alarming essay in putting an inquiry to a sleek-looking gentleman, whom we have heard designated as a "lame duck," touching the " whys" and " herefores" of his cognomen. The indignation and displeasure he evinced, made us believe, for the mo ment, that, like Moses, we had broken all the Com mandments at once, and wo have never since men. tioned a word relative to any aquatic cripple within- a mile of Cornhill. We purchased the shares above men tioned, in the vague hope, that through them, we might at least realise a trifle of intellectual endowment in the Gresham classics. How dearly we have paid for our rash pursuit of knowledge, we do not choose to tell. Be it sufficient to reveal, that we religiously believe the " whistle " alluded to so bitterly and philosophically by the immortal Franklin, must have been a "railway " one, and that we still consider the " parlance" of " scrip," and "transfer," among the most veritable "slang" that ever echoed in a commercial Babel. There is a law " slang," which bewilders and confounds most painfully, for we seldom come within reach of its cabalistic breathings without knowing and feeling that the same will be all set down in " costs," and that every sentence of legal Hebrew formally chattered by aflippant clerk, or lynx-eyed principal, will be ultimately balanced by round and sound " pocket-pieces." We once saw an old countryman fall into a ,violent fit of alarm on being told he was " subi,enaed" on an approaching trial. " No body shall subpeeny' me," cried hei " I'll have none of your law tricks—l'd rather go to Americky to get out of the way." It was explained that he was merely to bear testimony as a witness. " Aye, aye," said the old fellow, " that's all well enough ; I ain't no objection to going speaking the truth, but I stand none of your subpeeny ing' bedevilments." Many a wiser citizen of the world has had dial dread of the " unknown tongue" so preva lent among " blue bags" and " briefs;' and happy for them if the imposing and astounding " slang," so pecu liar to parchment and pleadings, intimates no greater infliction than a " subpeenying bedevilment." There is a medical "slang," which has astonishing in fluence with hypochondriacal gentlemen and nervous old ladies. If a physician were to tell such patients that their stomachs and brains were oppressed by improper food and beverage, and that they only needed simple diet, mental employment, and bodily exercise, the unfor tunate disciple of Esculapius might starve in his plain spoken honesty; but let him discourse of an inflamma tion of the " pylorus," let him suspect congestion of the " biliary ducts," accompanied by gastric fermentation, and deranged ganglionic nerves, and that even the "pleura" and " diaphragm" show symptoms which need great attention; let him insinuate these important words, with grave demeanour, and the dear old ladies and gen preivseanstatstievree,pa,v,eur: tlemen are satisfied most incomprehensibly; the talent of the physician is pronounced " first rate," and they give gold and take physic under the " hey presto" cony of a few words of medical " slang." There is a political " slang " heard, perhaps, in talk*, " member " nominated who did not talk of " constital ontitconstituents," p erfection, entshustings.n ofarepresentative," e tives "" the great cause of reform," " devo tional proroga "seal for the national welfare," " ion to the people," "alle giance iance to the Protestant Church," " noble and worthy a p n rou el d ec p t o io si n tio flinching in ' duty as a servant of the public," and a long train of inflated idioms, recognised as belonging exclu sively to political " speechifying." They tell remarkably well, with the addition of open taverns; and perhaps the hustings' "slang" may be set down as among the moat " corrupt"dialects ever listened to. We could pursue the thread of our argument until it became a large skein; but we think the needleful we have given will show our readers that " slang" has its em bossed and gilt-edged encyclopedia, as well as its coarsely printed hornbook.
