C JOURNAL,. It has been well 'remarked in a recent pamphlet on the Irish Church 'Bill (" by a Disciple of Selden") that " there is the same connection between a law for :adjusting Irish tithes, and one for appropriating the surplus to general education as subsists in all bargains, between price and - purchase, between money which can buy, and the article which is to be bought." Nothing, however, is more common than the desire to possess a thing and the strongest repugnance to pay the price of it, and the very familiar business of the Old Bailey is all referrable to the various ingenious contrivances for avoiding the quid pro quo in ex change. To a vast number of minds the connection to which - we have adverted is imperceptible, and they act upon the conviction that the thing will be every whit as - useful to them without being paid for. The man who separates the possession of a horse from the very disagreeable question of the price of it, by the quiet process of picking the stable lock and mounting himself without more ado, reasons correctly, that the beast - will trot and gallop under him just as well as if a price had been given for it. The Tories take the sa , ,ne view of the Irish Church Bill. The offer of thn settlement of tithes they are ready to accept, but they say, " What has the price got to do with it ? We have no insuperable objection to anything you propose, but the paying for it ; our consciences will never allow us to consent to that. We are just and reasonable men : we are accommodating enough to take what we want and you offer, if you will only separate that offensive question of price for it." The question, however, has ceased to be merely whether the Tories are to have an unmixed boon or not ? The ques'tion is whether they are to have a boon which woyald prove to them " Like Dead-sea fruits that tempt the eye, And turn to ashes on the lips ;" and which would in no degree abate the present hos tility of the Catholics to the Protestant Establishment in Ireland, and only change the recusancy to a more dangerous ground ? For if the demands of the Church were, in the present state of popular feeling, to be covered by rent, can we doubt that rent would be endangered by the odium so mixed with it ? The rent-charge, to be safely established, must be accom-, panied with a propitiatory sacrifice,, the grace of which._ may keep it clear of the odium of the impost it super aecfes: It the tithe demon instantly `pass into it, the last resource for the adjustment of the question is . destroyed. It is admitted on all sides that things cannot .remain •as they- are. The present Bill is proposed, as it were, for the renewal of the Church Establishment lease, the appropriation being the fine on such renewal, and a very moderate fine it is. " But will it give a perpetuity ?" cry the Tories. This is not a question which reasonable slier, will stop to consider when a house is falling alrout their ears. We are not to neglect the repairs necessary for present safety, because a doubt is raised -whether they will last for ever. The building to be saved from instant ruin must be relieved of a weight too much for its rotten foundation. The Tories, in objecting to what is expedient at the present time, because it may not be a final settlement, are like Swift's seriant, who refused to clean his master's boots, be ea use they might be dirty again ; and the Dean's an swer is applicable to them, " that their meals, by the same reasoning, should be useless, because hunger will return again. The Legislature has to deal with an institution intolerable to seven millions of people. To make it bearable is the present task. It is sinking. How is it to be made to swim ? The vessel is foun dering, and some of the lading must be thrown over board. " This is spoliation—robbery !" cries the supercargo. No, it is lightening the vessel to save her—it is abandoning a part to save the rest. In the present trim all would go down and perish together ; and in the present case, the load of which the labouring vessel is relieved is oil thrown upon the troubled waters to calm them. " The waves," cry the Tories, " may rise agp„in." They may---there is no providing against such possibilities ; but are we to let the vessel sink at the present juncture, because, if lightened and saved stow, she may have to buffet with a future storm ? To borrow a memorable saying from the Times, " there is too much church in Ireland," and the question of its existence is the question of re duction. It. must fall if left in its present top-heavy state, and all that statesmen can do is to put it in the best condition by abating its undue proportions. Those who anticipate its ruin, after an arrangement most favourable to its stability, should a fortiori see the impossibility of supporting it in its present most of fensive exorbitancy. VVhat strength, what hold upon, the country, can it be conceived to derive from the excess which it is proposed to retrench and to convert into a peace offering, making it the instrument of moral improvement instead of the constant subject of hostility ? The troubles into which Ireland would be plunged if the Bill be rejected may be matter of small concern to the Tories ; but in those troubles, the Church, already mendicant, which they pretend so vast an anxiety to uphold, would surely perish.-- Morning Chronicle. There is now before us a Parliamentary paper, pur porting to be " a return stating the manner in which the 1,000,000/. voted for the Irish clergy has been appropriated, specifying the name and residence of each borrower, the sum advanced, the amount of tithe alleged at the time to be in arrear, and whether for more than one year, the estimated yearly value of the borrower's preferment, whether the same is held with any other, and whether the duty of one or both preferments is discharged in person, with the name and title of the impropriator." Now, let any body read the above title, and recollecting for what purpos es th e million was confessedly granted, for whose - use, for whose relief, and what sacred functions it was destined to secure and fac:Alitate the discharge of such reader then turn to the report itself, and see how iniquitously, and, all things conside re d, h ow inhu manly to war d s the 'clergy, the fund voted by Parlia ment for their benefit, and as an indemnifica tion to them alone, has been teal-appropriated. We have to state, then, that, according to custom, the wolves have made their way into the sheepfold. The landlords, great and small, from the duke to the squireen, have broken in upon the unfortunate clergy, and carried off a large proportion of that loan which was destined ostensibly to their subsistence, and of which the clergy have borne the exclusive credit of entailing as a debt upon the community. There are amon g t h ese l ay depredators Whig names and Tory—Protestants and (proh pudor !) Papists-- Lords and Commoners—all joined in one league of plunder from the Church, and in the extortion of those tithes, the payment of which in any shape, or under any pretext, your Itiomiall revolutionists call heaven and the opposite region to witness ought to be resisted, as unla:wful and abominable. We find in this list of exemplary lay-patriots the name of Barron, the - name of Sheil, the name of Lawler, the name of Ronayne, with a catalogue of noble (?) tither.s., who sweep up the very scourings of the a Rarrear, and pocket—viz., the Lord *Sorttlitvell, oman Catholic absentee, 35/. ; the Whig absente e , Lord *E ssex , 82/ . ; the absentee Leviathan Whig, the Duke of *Devonshire, 3,4401., with Lords *Head fort, * Ormonde, Downshire, Norbury, *Shannon, *M ea th, g * Donouhmor e , De Vesci, *Li smore , *Carew, *Dillon, &c. We have remarked the noble supporter s of the Whig-Radical anti-Protestant Mi nistry in Italics, and there are 11 of them in the ex tract suppli e d b y a C ontemporary Journal, who make a merit of attacking and browbeating the clergy, for endeavouring, by lawful means, to recove r their tithe, Which is all that the greater number of those reverend persons have to exist upon, and is the sole worldly reward of their professional labour. That Conserva tive impropriators should take their tithe where they find it, is nothing blameable, nor inconsistent ; inas much as they have brought no ch arge aga i ns t th e c l ergy for P.. similar vindicati on of their rights ; nor do they 7 :aischievously and hypocritically swell the clamour Against the tithe system, ready though they are to re form it. But the conduct of the others we want words to describe. We do earnestly hope that it will be held up within the walls of the Commons itself to just reprehension, and that the contemptuous obloquy which it well deserves may spread through every part of the empire. It is pretty clear that they are so prompt to snap up that equivalent for tithe which was designed expressly for the clergy exposed to destitu- tion, and thereby disqualified from the fulfilment of their sacred functions —would with as much alacrity, if the occasion offered, call in the police and army to assist them in levying it by coercive means from the people—but, although O'Connell designates the Whigs in general by the epithets " brutal," " bloody," &c., we have never heard of his abusing the lay lin propriators of that faction for the crime of collecting their tithe so often as they are able. This cruel fraud and robbery of the clergy demands, we repeat, the most signal exposure.—Times. Not only his own acts, but the acts of his oppressors and enemies, would seem to conspire to make a great man of Louis Alibaud. He does not need in fact, the aid of the last adventitious circumstances to become so. He is, or was—we naturally use the present tense, for such men are immortal in the annals of the world, arid their characters are the property of history— decidedly the greatest man that has appeared upon the stage of the world since the brilliant galaxy of great men which arose from the first stormy clouds of the French Revolution. Louis Alibaud was a great man ; and his greatness becomes perfectly colossal in compa rison with the pigmies, including Louis Philippe and his satellites, who have endeavoured to defame his character, and to depreciate his motives—to burke his defence and defeat his example. Our readers by this time arc fully aware of all the superior points of Alibaud's character. They have by' this time drawn an accurate inference from the .- publications in this paper of his memoir—of his suppressed defence---of the calm and untroubled talent which he showed upon his trial —and of the more than Ro man fortitude which he exhibited at his death. Our read , Jrs by this time know that Alibaud might have !axed his life by only admitting to the King's aide de-camp, who visited him in the prison for the especial purpose, that he was wrong in his attempt, and that he regretted it. The repeated assertion . of Alibaud that the only thing he regretted was his failure, was wormwood to the slavish faction, to the apostates and middlemen, who now with tottering and ~vindictive hands grasp the transitory and departing sceptre of the barricades. Louis Alibaud spurned the offer with contempt, and preferred death. We should' .be glad to know what Romdfi stoic, 'condemned by tyrknny- 7 ,-. ,„ .f h' d i 4 th , what martyr W, `cause ,o, the' peop e,-.an e eternal prindiples of •patriotism—could- have. done padre 'than Louis Alibaud ?. We pause-for- ieply: :We defy the exhibition .of a superior example . $126 . annals . history. This. A . i tierf,e,c_ity. trne e * lta : , if Alibaud were rnima sincere view of the duties of patriotism. He was equally a great man and a great genius. But the absolutist faction who, with loud cries and with clamorous efforts, attempt to put down even the memory of his example and defence, and the " hushers-up" who are always ready to " prophecy smooth things" to those that are in power, will have some difficulty in proving that he was mistaken in applying the principle asserted and maintained by Brutus to modern practice. They will have the difficult task of expunging the most bril liant pages from the works of ancient or modern times ; they will have the more difficult task of subjecting the Jurists—the very expounders of all laws, natural, so cial, or national—to the expurgation or exclusion of their new censorship. The right is undoubted. No proof has yet been adduced that Alibaud was mistaken in its application to Louis Philippe. On the contrary, that infatuated man and his parasites seem bent on exhibiting, in their own persons, and by their own acts, that he was not mistaken in the application. The suppression of truth at the trial, and since the trial, appears to be their great aim. The light of truth is too painful for eyes congenial only with the dark shadows of bigotry and tyranny; and their sole object is to put out the light. They may be addressed in the words of Campbell : " Ye that the rising morn invidious mark, And bate the light because your deeds are dark, • Perhaps your little, souls presume to scan The march of freedom and the powers of man ; Perhap s ye watch at P ower ' s un h a ll owe d shrine, Her victims newly slain, and thus divine : Here shall thy triumphs, genius, cease; and here Truth, virtue, freedom, end your short career I' " —Morning Advertiser. Ourexcellent correspondent " Zeta" establishes upon grounds which, if not the strongest that can be con ceived, are such, at least, as his Majesty's MiniSters are most disqualified to impugn, the duty which those Ministers owe to the peaceable, loyal, and well-dis posed portion of their fellow-subjects on the occasion of Mr. O'Connell's new attempt to usurp all social and political authority in Ireland by means of a factious and unprincipled association. Those grounds are no other than the solemn and reiterated declara tions of the present Ministers of the Crown on an occasion in every respect similar to that which now demands their attention. Nothing would seem to be more clear than the demonstration afforded by our able correspondent, that if Ministers intend to show any respect for the peace and welfare of Ireland, any reverence for Government or law, any regard even for their own honour or consistency, they must instantly apply to the Legislature for the means of putting down Mr. O'Connell's new scheme of agitation. Yet there is one thing more clear a nd certa i n t h an even this. It i s that Ministe rs will not dare, in the present instance, to discharge their duty to their peace able and loyal fellow-subjects ; that so far from at tempting to suppress the new project of turbulence, discord, and strife, they will patronise and encourage it to the utmost of their power ; that they will be re negades from their own proclaimed principles of honour and duty, false to the tranquillity and welfare of so ciety, traitors to the wholesome authority of law and Government which they are sworn to administer, and true only to the wicked and flagitious compact which gave them not power, but place, and not an ally, but a master, in one whom they had recently denounced as the most active, bitter, and unrelenting enemy of the State. Lord Grey and his colleagues had enough of sense, virtue, and courage to hold Mr. O'Connell in check. Lord Melbourne and his colleagues have so little of these qualities that Mr. O'Connell holds them in chains. Such an alliance as that which unites the pre sent Ministers of the Crown with the systematic insti gators of turbulence and crime in Ireland could not, indeed, be expected to p ro d uce to t h e f ormer any other fruit than th a t o f the most humiliating and hitter de gradation —a degradation destined, in the natural order and progression of affairs, to become deeper and deeper the longer the infamous confederacy endures. What is the share of advantage obtained by Lord Melbourne and his colleagues from the base and disgraceful con spiracy to which they have descended ? It may be summed up in the words " place and pay"--place, without any portion of that power which should exalt and ennoble it ; pay, the sordid wages of menials obey ing a master who is the more imperious and despotic that his authority is clandestine and illegitimate. Can anything be imagined more mean and beggarly than this side of the account ? But let us look to the other side, and what a contrast is presented to our view ! Mr. O'Connell gets by virtue of this con federacy a privilege invaluable to him, whether it be regarded as a means of gratifying pride and malevo lence, or as a source of power and of pelf--the privi lence of convulsing Ireland, without the least appre hension of chastisement or restraint. Is there any semblance of equality in such a bargain ? Nor is this all ; for this would afford a very inadequate idea of the advantages reaped by Mr. O'Connell and the faction which he leads, by their compact with Ministers. The unlimited scope for agitation which has been virtually conceded to them would lose more than half its value, if regarded apart from the specific objects to which the agitation is to be directed or separated from the consideration that these are objects which Go vernment and the agitators pursue in - ' . 'common. The establishment by law, in all the principal towns of Ireland, of " normal schools," of anti-Protestant and anti-British agitation, under the nickname of corporations, is one of the objects to which the ap proving stamp and attestation of the British Govern ment have been affixed, and in favour of which, with all the advantages incident to so high a sanction, in termediate agitation is to proceed undaunted and un restrained. Can Lord Melbourne and his colleagues show improvement o f th e i r pos i t i on, political, social, any or moral— can they show anything, in a word, but place and pay, to compensate them for this in calculable advantage which they have thrown into the hands of a man whom but the other day theydenouncd as the implacable and deadly enemy of ifie. ,State ? With respect to the appropriation principle, Ministers have yielded to this man, whom, so long as they could keep their places, independently of his assistance, they justly regarded as an enemy to them and to the country, still greater advantages. They have made this principle the very tenure by which they hold office. They have given to any kind or degree of agitation by which this bold and .wicked man (their own character of him) may seek to enforce it, the name and character of a Ministerial rather than of an O'Connel agitation. They have, in' a word, committed the whole influence and authority of the Administration, under the absolute direction of Mr. O'Connell, to constant 'and unmitigated hostilit: against the peace and prosperity of Ireland, for tile indefinite, and probably extended, period which may elapse before this principle, a questionable principle, to say the least of it, shall have obtained the sanction of the Legislature. These pr o p os iti ons are un d en i a bl e, and• they amount to no less than this—that, for sake of place and pay, Ministers have bound themselves to be the servile tools of Mr. O'Connell. They are as strictly bound as ever was hired servant to obey the lawful commands of his master to adhere to the appropriation principle, to pursue it as paramount to all considerations whatever of policy or prudence, and to pursue it in what ever manner and by whatever means Mr. O'Connell shall think fit to dictate. Such is the abject condition to which Ministers have reduced themselves, and such the lofty eminence they have enabled Mr. O'Connell to reach, with reference to this vital question. Our readers can be at no less to determine who is the gainer and who the losers by the Melbourne-O'Connell alliance. We cannot conclude without observing, that this appro priation principle, which has enthralled the Adminis tration in irredeemable bondage to their former, or rather, we should say, to their actual, enemy, is a manifest and notorious fraud. It professes to deal with a determinate surplus of Church revenue, which cannot be shown to exist, and of which the conspiring appropriators do not pretend to show the existence, to any amount which can be regarded as .f the least im portance, in a practical point of view. What is the inevitable conclusion from the intensity of the struggle maintained for an object - apparently so trivial ? No Thf''`and 'candtour. affects, or . can affect, .to doubt, it , The .obj'eet 'Of Mr. O'Connell and :clearly , other - than thisto get the, ~-.appropriatiorr. rineiple - established,' with! the (Freboignitiorr' of 'ah Incottgitlerable surplus, in order to tiWt'''NiVitter',the':iili f Oie revenue of. the Esta )i,1i5heir.44614 ,- .,inclielanil,;:or nearly , - the whol e of that reve n u e as an available surplusefor Roman Ca tholic uses. Upon any other supposition the" question of appropriation, the whole history of its progress, the position it has actually assumed, the fact that it has .become the bond of such an alliance as places the Irish agitator and his Majesty's Ministers in the reciprocal relation of master and slaves—the whole matter, in evert possible,view and aspect, would be an inexplica ble riddle ; but with this explanation everything be comes clear, distinct, and intelligible. The matter, as it has4ven brought before Parliament, is simply a fraud ;. and it is a fraud to which every circumstance of instill : to the legislature is superadded ; for, while Ministerjnsist before Parliament upon the appropria tion of aliretended definite surplus of ecclesiastical re venues, all the organs of Ministers and all the organs of their confederate and master, by his own pen and tongue, speak,of the principle of appropriation as only of value with reference to an indefinite and progressively increasing surplus. It would be difficult to imagine any more conclusive evidence of actual fraud —any more explicit intimation of predetermined plunder.— Morning Post. We confess we have our misgivings as to the pro posed measure of Church Reform being either so im partial or extensive .as the Reports of the Commis sioners, or the obvious demands of the subject, had led us- to expect. Warmly Conservative in our own principles, we have nevertheless always considered it not only consistent with,.. but essential to the conti nuance and carrying out of those principles, not only to—set our faces against, but strenuously to advocate every species of safe and necessary reform. The inte rests, the safety, and the strengthening.and extending the cause of the Established Church, have been ob jects which we have never ceased to advocate ; and in so doing the necessity of a revision and more equal dis tribution of its means among the working clergy, has always struck us as essential and unavoidable. That such, too, had become the general feeling among the Conservative party, was sufficiently proved by the prompt and decisive manner in which Sir Robert Peel, on coming into office in December, 1834, took up the subject. Whatever advantage, therefore, may, and i n d ee d must revert to the established re ligion by the appointment of the Church Commission, let it ever be. borne in mind that it - originated with a Conservative Administration, and that the great-pro fessing but small-performing class of Whig reformers are only partially carrying out a measure which we feel persuaded would in the hands of Sir Robert Peel have been rendered much more effective. Our main objection to the result of the labours of the Commis sioners, as far as they have yet been made known, con sists in this, that they have bestowed infinitely more pains in providing for the higher orders of the Clergy, and in securing patronage to the Bishops, than in ex tending the benefits of religion to the people, by en larging Church room and increasing the means of the great body of the ill-requited parochial Clergy. Nor, if we are rightly informed, does the Whig Bill even carry out what are generally understood to be the measures and intentions of the Commissioners. In zimmon, we believe, with the generality of the public, e have been led to suppose that the proposition rela tive to the future amounts ofrevenues of the Archbishops and Bishops, meant that they should be always those mentioned in the reports, and that in every case the sur plus beyond the sums there fixed should go to the fund for increasing the revenues of the small sees, and those of small livings. But in the Bill as now passing through Parliament, such, we are credibly informed, is not the case ; but that by it the contributions to the fund only are fixed, leaving the surplus in each case to go in in crease of the episcopal income, subject to future revi sion. Taking, for instance, the present revenues of the sees of Canterbury and London at 17,5001., and 12,0001., the contribution in one case will be 2,5001., and in the latter 2,0001., though the revenues of those sees will in process of time become each upwards of 50,0001. per annum. We might here add a word or two on the mode proposed of dealing with the., patro nage of Deans and Chapters ; but this will furnish amplescope for a separate consideration. But contenting ourselves for the present with the one 'point to' which we have referred, we would ask whether. the Whigs are keeping faith with the country in rendering the mea sure of Church reform in this respect such as we have described it to be ? Why, next year a fine of 30,0001. or of some other large amount, may fall to the see of Canterbury ; and, as the law is about to be passed, every farthing of that sum would go to the possessor of the see. The present amiable and exemplary Pri mate is a man probably who would not take it, but would hand it over to the fini4. But such an act of self-denial, honourable as it would be to the individual, is quite beside the matter. Every one of the old dioceses is, more or less, in the same situation ; and it is not therefore, at all unreasonable to conjecture that from the very outset an average sum of from 10,0001. to 20,000/. would thus be annually lost to the fund, and added to incomes which the public has been led to suppose were to be fixed and unincreasable. Are we not justified, then, in saying that there is some ap parent trick and deception in this ?—that the Whigs, instead of carrying out Church reform, are under this head crippling and diminishing it all they can ? And that in the hands of its author, Sir Robert Peel, it was much more likely to have been rendered what he really intended it to be ?—Morning Herald. .

IN THE MATTER OF HENDRY. Mr. ROGERS applied, under the statute 6th Anne, for an order in this matter, to compel the mother of z,n infant to produce him to the heir-at-law of the estate to which that infant was entitled. The mother of the infant had been for some time resident in a village between Watford and Hemel Hempstead, in the county of Herts, hut she had removed to a place of which the applicmt w;t3 ignorant ; and it was sworn he had good reason to believe that the infant was dead, and that the death was concealed by the mother. The LORD CHANCELLOR granted the order. IN RE ANGLE, A BANKRUPT. Mr. GIRDLESTONE moved the discharg e of a servan t o f the bankrupt, who h a d b een committed' to the Fleet for unsatisfactory answers in his examination before the Com missioners. The prisoner had been committed in November last, and in June he was again examined, and gave a distinct and positive answer to all the questions proposed to him. Mr. BETHEL opposed the application. The prisoner, a ervant of the bankrupt, was asked what he had done with 001. which was traced to his possession, and which the editors believed to be the property of the bankrupt. s answers, when given, were to the effect that the . ley was his own, and that he lent it to a Mrs. Stephen - and taken an I 0 U for it ; that he had lost the • U, and did not know where Mrs. Stephenson was. answer, being both suspicious and unsatisfactory, nceived to afford a full justification' of the conduct • :ommissioners. • LORD CHANCELLOR thought the petition must be •• • -1.

The razor blade remained in the prosecutor's hands, which were cut through in the struggle. Ann Grey, who ran to his assistance, on hearing his screams, assisted him to her master's house. Anne Grey corroborated Preston's statement. He was rather " lightened" with beer when they first parted, but not " fresh." It was a starlight night. A great number of witnesses gave the prisoner a most excellent character. The Jury brought in a verdict of Guilty, recommending him strongly to mercy on account of his previous good character. WESTERN CIRCUIT, DIVIZES, JULY 16. The Commission was opened here on Thursday after noon. The business was very light. CROWN COURT.—W. Alder was charged with having set fire to a bean stack, the property of John Brown, at Chi seldon, on the 9th of February last. Mr. BINGHAM was retained for the prosecution, and Mr. SMITH appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Baron ALDERSON having summed up, the Jury ac quitted the prisoner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. William Farley was charged with assaulting his brother James. The defendant resides in Norton-street, Clerkenwell, and is a jeweller. For a length of time he had paid his ad dresses to a young woman to whom he had promised mar riage, but on Thursday he found her walking with his bro ther James, and he subsequently ascertained that she was actually married to him. The defendant reprehended his brother for marrying the woman he intended for his own wife, and a scuffle ensued, which ended in the defendant getting a pair of black eyes. His brother James then gave him into custody. The magistrate dismissed the case. The defendant (crying)—Oh, your worship, he knew I loved her, and had sworn to marry her, when he took her to church and married her himself. Complainant—She knew me before she knew you. The young woman was present, and hung down her head. On leaving the office, she took hold of the arm of her husband, and said to the prisoner that she would always respect him, but now she was bound to love and obey her husband. MARYLEBONE. A respectable-looking gentleman, in a whitey-brown wig entered the office, puffing and blowing like a grampus, and, wriggling his way through the crowd to the beach, re quested the Magistrate's advice. The gentleman (whose name and address did not transpire), having wiped the per spiration from his brow and recovered his wind a little, proceeded with much solemnity to state that his wife having lost two of her best front teeth, which greatly im paired her beauty, he determined upon supplying the defect with a pair of artificial masticators, an d h e accor di ngly re paired to an eminent dentist in the vicinity of Oxford street, who asked three guineas for the couple of ivories. Applicant said he thought this a long price, but he should have no objection to deal if he (the dentist) would take a set of harness, for which he had no further use, in ex change, and which was worth 31. The dentist replied that it was just the thing he wanted, and having seen the harness the bargain was speedily struck, and the teeth being manufactured to order were sent home. Applicant's better half, however, disapproved of the bargain. declaring that she would not wear false teeth upon any account. The lady's objection was stated to the dentist, but he in sisted upon the fulfilment of the agreement, and actually came to the stable and carried off the harness in triumph.

I say, gals, don't I know the river? I expect this will prove the most profitable privi— lege of a wooding station of any 'twixt New Orlines and Cin cinatti. What with that there elegant creek, and this here handsome elevation, (the spot selected for his house was at this time at least six or seven inches above the level of the river;) and what with them there capital hickories, and this dreadful beautiful sweep-in of the river, that will bring the steamers up to me, whether they will or no ;—I say, gals, that if things do but go at New Orlines as bravely as they do now, I'll make dollars enough, by wooding their boats for 'em, to open store for all the notions in creation at Natchez, before ten years are out. Why, since we've landed, I've seen half a dozen first-rate timbers shoot the creek ; hut I'll soon see if I can't find a way to stop 'em short, as soon as I've got a pair of hands to spare."--Mrs. Trollope's " Jonathan Jefferson lirhitlaw." We learn from St. Petersburg that there are up wards of 3,000 workmen employed in building a cathedral, to be dedicated to St. Isaac. The outside of the copula is to be ornamented by 24 columns of granite, each of one piece, 42 feet high, fifteen of which have already arrived. The porticos will be 120 feet in length, and will be supported by 48 co lums of granite, with bases and capitals of bronze.
