A still greater number of minor friend!) societies are not enrolled, and do not, therefore, possess the privileges and means of self protection enjoyed by the former. It is estimated that there are 33,223 societies in this position in England, Wales, Scotland, add Ireland, having 3,052,000 members. an annual revenue of £4,980,000, and with its funds amounting to so large a sum as £11,360,000, the praise worthy accumulations of the purely industrial classes. Indeed, half of the labouring male adult population are members of benefit societies. SINGULAR DUEL.—Among the most peculiar of the customs of the cavalieri, was the regulation with regard to which recalled some of the practices of early y. The parties who quarrelled were to repair to the next street, unsheath their swords, and fight out their duel in public. But at the command of a priest. a lady, or a f-eni or knight, they were enjoined to desist, and to be completely reconciled on the spot. Of course such en- - . counters seldom terminated fatally. An old Maltese lady told me that her interference had often been requested by the friends of the belligerent parties, and irr no single in: ad it ever failed Maltese priest averred that he had often been knocked up at twelve o'clock at night to stop the warlike proceedings of some of the ri.—Notes from Ninereh. HATING THE AUTHOR OF " WHITEJACKET.".— rs that some individual ambitious of notoriety has become enamoured of the good name and reputation of our townsman, Herman Melville, the author of Ornoo, Typee, TVhitejacket, and other works, and has been so far successful in his attempt to pass himself off for that gentleman, in remote parts of Georgia and North Carolina, that persons near the scenes of his exploits have been in- to correspond with the ssrs.

In consequence of the numbers await. ing a passage across the channel at Holyhead, owing to the arrival of a crowded excursion train, an extra steamer, the Anglia, was despatched from Kingstown on Tuesday morning, to afford the requisite accommodation to this influx of English tourists. . _ A Ncw PRIMA DONNA.- - A Madame Fiorentini, a Berlin prima donna, appeared as Norma at the Haymar ket Opera House, on Tuesday night, and even at the close of the season has produced an impression. Her singing is unanimously pronounced excellent ; and a London paper says, "As an actress, Madame Florentini is graceful and expressive, without extravagance, and her very beau tiful person is a constant charm in the eyes of her audi ence. Coming with the combined advantages of youth, beauty, and an excellent organ, well disciplined, she can hardly fail to create a great sensation. At the end of the opera she was repeatedly called with the greatest enthu- siasm. A NOVEL METHOD OF EVADING TOLL.—A couple of smallware dealers and showmen arrived in Fraserburgh on Saturday, from the west, and, having to pa9i the toll gate at the entrance of the town, took the following me thod of getting through without paying the usual dues, their movable toy-shop being drawn by a couple of dogs. On arriving within a respectable distance of the bar, the merchants themselves took the place of the dog horses, and drew their vehicle. wares. andfshow-;oar, and the pays no other multifarious odds and ends of tl through the toll ; and, as a cart without toll, nor a couple of dogs without a cart, by merchant showmen, so all the party, dogs, car &c., got quietly through, an small business.—Aberdeen , 'Der- I are Journal, FORTUNES OF TH were of consideration and ingdombire, sent( CROMWELLS.—The Cromwelis h county standing in Hunt- t the fine mansion of Hinchinbroke and descended in the female line I Essex, of the time of Henry VIII many of its members well a banner.

" I entered," he said, "a miserable cabin, in which an old woman was smoking a pipe by the fire. Seeing three Portraits on the wall, I asked her who they were ? a St. Paul on the right.' And this ? Au' sure, isn't that St. Peter ?' And he in the centre ? ' And don't you know Pat Donnelly, the bruiser ?—sure every ody knows him.' " Mr. Irving proceeded to tell of his 'oimr, to the Roman Catholic chapel in Dublin to see high co Sure t rformed, a ceremony which he had never wit To escape observation, he ensconced himself behind pillar, where he stood. Every now and then, however, an old woman behind him pulled him by the skirts, say ing. " Sure you'll go down on your knees." " And did you go down ?" said one of the St. John's elders. " I went. down at last, both to please the old woman, and to iving." The question as to whether he should have done this or not was raised and keenly dis cussed. Doctor Chalmers said nothing. The dis cussion closed, aud conversation took another turn ; abstraction. He was evidently still busy trying to settle the quallio vexata satisfactorily to his own mind ; nor w<ts it till some practical question had to be dc- Such instances of absence of mind would frequently occur. '' Three members of session," says Mr. Aitken, " being also patrons of the school, called on me, along with the o pertect a certain rarrangenu _ 3s.

CHALMERS AND HIS ASSISTANT.— At the corn mencemEnt of his ministry in St. John's, he had secured 'he services of the Rev. Edward Irving, then a licentiate the church, There were peculiarities both of thought ' utterance which made Mr. Irving unpopular as a He had given up the prospect of a settlement at home, and had resolved to leave his native land, full of the chivalrous romance of christianity. His intention was relying simply upon such resources as he could open up for'him - self by the way, to go as a missionary to Persia, Eller a preliminary wandering over Europe. To qualify himself for the self-imposed office, he applied himself to the study of the modern languages, and buried himself among his books. " Rejected by the living," as he told a friend, " I was conversing with the dead." In the midst of his studies he was interrupted by a note from Dr. Andrew Thomson, asking him to preach in St. George;s, and telling him that he would have Dr. Chalmer, , oking out for an assistant, as an auditor. He corn with the request, and preached as he had been d, without. however, having seen or conversed with Dr. Chalmers. Days and weeks elapsed without any indi cation of his preaching having made any favourable im pression. His books were all packed up and despatched to Annan, while he himself set off on a farewell tour round the west coast of Ayrshire to see some friends ere his departure for the east. Loitering on the quay at Greenock, he stepped into a steamboat which, was to carry him, as he thought, to Stan raer.
