The following appeared in a portion of our im pression of yesterday : THE BRAZILIAN MAILS, ----- LISBON, Oct. 31.—The royal mail steamship Avon, with the Brazilian mail, arriv e d h ere f rom Rio to-day, and leaves again this evening for Southampton. No political news of importance. The - wine duties have been fixed for the future at 320 reis per medida. Exchange on London 2s. 51d. The Avon brings drafts on London to the amount of £670,000. Coffee declined from 200 to 300 reis after the arrival of the Avon from Europe. The exports in coffee since the departure of the last mail, amount to 104,310 bags for the United States, 57,745 for the Channel, 9,126 for Havre, 15,716 for Marseilles, and 12.172 for the Mediterranean. Prices of coffee, 5.700 to 5.900 reis : flat. Stocks 120,000 bags. FRANCE, PARIS, Nov. 2.—The Moniteur of this morning , contains the follo wing :—" The Duke of Padua re tires from the post of Minister of the Interior on account of ill health, and the Emperor has named M. Billant as his successor. Their Imperial Majesties arrived last evening at Compeigne, and were received with much cheering by the people." THE CONGRESS [REUTER'S TELEGRAM.] DRESDEN, Nov. Ist.—The Dresden Journal asserts that England will send a representative to the approaching congress, without making any condition. The same journal says the congress will, in all probability, meet at Paris. The Paris correspondent of the Advertiser says that it is at the urgent request of the King of Sardinia that the British Government consents to take part in the European Congress. He re presented that otherwise the unfortunate Italians would be delivered over, bound hand and foot, to their oppressors, and no voice would be raised in their behalf save his. STATE OF ITALY The Emperor's letter is said to have produced a very bad effect at Florence. The extreme party is gaining strength, and troublesome times are expected. Persons are being despatched from Tuscany, Modena, and Parma, to pray Victor Emmanuel at once to accept the annexation, and refuse to join the Congress under the conditions proposed by France and Austria. The interview between Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi, on the 28th, provoked much discussion. It was asked whether the visit was to persuade Garibaldi to lay down his arms, or to concert with that popular chief of Italian independence, in order to resist the joint policy of France and Austria. The Paris correspondent of the Post says the French Government has opposed the proposed loan which Tuscany was negotiating with a house in Paris. This, as well as other passing events, when known in Italy, will produce a bad effect. SPAIN. MADRID, Nov. 2.—The staff of General O'Don nell will leave here about the 3rd or sth instant. Preparations are being actively made in every branch of the war department for the expedition against Morocco. EXPEDITION TO CHINA. The Times is urgent in pressing on Govern ment the necessity of despatch. It says, if we are at the landing-place by March, we can do the work well in one year; if we are later than April, we are almost certain to take two years about the business, and to double our risks and our expenses. We hope that no desire of French co-operation will induce us to carry oar politeness to so expensive an extent as to wait for them. If they should not be ready to go with us, we can divide the task with them, and meet them at Pekin, or expect them at Tien Tsin. Perhaps, also, we may meet the Americans there. If private American letters from China speak truth ; if Mr. Ward was, with studied intent to ridicule him, drawn to Pekin by a mule and a donkey, tandem fashion, and if his ratified treaty is found to be destitute of the only useful stipulation the draught contained ; that is to say, the regulations for trade and tariffs, then we conceive that the Americans may, by this time, have ooncluded that their humility has not answered. We, however, want no help. RUSSIA. A telegram from St. Petersburg, of Monday's date, states that 85,600 casks of tallow had been shipped off, and that business for the season was apparently finished, although the weather con tmucd mild. _ _ . St. Petersburg letters state that the claims upon Alexeyeff and Co., of Moscow, have been sold at 10s. to 1 ls. in the pound. The rate of discount has risen to 8 per cent., and much commercial disturbance prevails, espe cially amongst the manufacturing interest. THE GALE OF YESTERDAY, Throughout the whole of yesterday and the previous night, a gale of wind, equalling in du ration, and occasionally in fury, that of last week, appears to have swept over the country. At Portsmouth it is described as far exceeding in strength and intensity the gale of last week. At Plymouth, yesterday, the steam-ships of war in the Sound had their engines at work to ease the strain on their cables. _ . At Eastbourne, Sussex, the gale, which was from W.S.W., is said to have been terrific, caus ing serious damage in the town. The account adds that, fortunately, there was little or no sea, the wind blowing off the land. The Alliance, which makes the voyage from. Havre in nine or ten hours, has arrived at South ampton, after being at sea thirty-two hours in a terrific gale, which was first encountered three hours after leaving Havre. The French and German mails have not ar rived to-day. _ Tenders are invited at the India Office for the supply of 8,000 tons of coal, deliverable in India. The Admiralty will receive tenders, on the 10th instant, for the supply of 50 tons of raisins, 300 tons of sugar, 800 quarters of split peas, and 240 tons of salt. The Admiralty notify that, in future, all ships engaged as transport, troop, and convict ships, are to have four of their boats fitted with either Clifford's or Kynaston's lowering apparatus. No fresh insurances occurred at Lloyd's yester day on the bullion freight of the Royal Charter.

DEATH FROM BURNING.—At the Coroner's Court, yesterday, an inquest was held on the body of Catherine Doyle, a girl two years old, who was burnt in the absence of her parents at their house on Monday last, and died of Tuesday. Verdict, " Accidentally burned." Numbei ANOTHER DEATH FROM BURNING.—Sarah Hanigan, aged 29, was accidentally burned by the ignition of some turpentine bandages which were around her body. She was removed to the infirmary, where she subsequently. died. At the inquest, yesterday, a verdict accordingly was returned, FIRE ON BOARD A SHIP.—A fire broke out yesterday morning about 5 o'clock, on board the ship Lisle, lying in the George's Dock. It was, however, of very trifling extent, and an engine and reel, which were promptly on the spot, soon extinguished it., It was almost entirely confined to the long boat, which was lying on deck with a quantity of vitriol stowed into it; several of the jars of which had burst, and thus originated the fire. CIVIC HOSPITALITY.-This evening his Wership the Mayor (William Preston, Esq.) gives his farewell official entertainment at the Town-hall, which, after mature deliberation, he has judged it advisable to give in the form of a ball. From the great pop ilarity of his Worship, and the enticing form in which the valedictory proceeding presents itself, there will be, without doubt, a large and brilliant assemblage of the Liverpool elite present on the occasion. - BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH Co3I PANY.—A meeting of this company, attended by a numerous and influential body of shareholders, was held yesterday, (Wednesday,) at the chief offices of the company in Exchange-buildings, Liverpool, J. C. Ewart, M.P., in the chair. After a full explanation from the Chairman, showing that the extensions proposed would yield a profitable result, a resolution was passed unani mously, giving the directors permissive power to raise up to £70,000, to provide for important new lines, works and improvements of the company is system THE GREAT EASTERN.—This steamer left Holyhead yesterday at half-past twelve for Southampton. THE WRECK OF THE ROYAL CHARTER.—Joseph Rogers, the seaman of the Royal Charter who plunged into the waves and swam ashore with a rope round him, and made the same fast to the shore, by which he rescued twelve seamen and riggers from the ill-fated vessel, was, yesterday afternoon, presented with the sum of £5 by the committee of the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society, as a mark of their approbation of his gallant conduct on the occasion. STANLEY VILLAGE LECTURES.—The fourth session of these popular lectures commenced on Tuesday last, when the Rev. T. Gardner delivered a lecture on " Words." It proved interesting ; and amongst other matters, a chapter on "slang" was read, accompanied by judicious suggestions to the "fast" men of the pre sent day. A vote of thanks was passed to the rev. lec turer, and also to the Rev. W. T. Newenham, of Knotty Ash, who occupied the chair, and addressed the meeting before the close of the proceedings. NORTHERN HOSPITAL.--The following persons, suf fering from the unthrmentioned injuries, were admitted into the Northern Hospital yesterday :—George Webb, shoemaker, Prince Edwin-lane, slipped off the footpath in Beresford-street, and fractured his leg.—Timothy McDonough, tailor, Clark's Court, Cow-lane, was knocked down by two men in Freemason's-row, and sustained a severe fracture of the leg.—John Hull, a glazier, residing in 5 Court, Eldon-place, while. engaged putting a square of glass into a window in Clement's-street, was precipitated to the ground, by the slipping of the ladder, and sustained severe injuries in one of his legs.—Two men, named John Donegan and Edward Tomkes, bricklayers, sustained several severe contusions on the body, by the breaking of a scaffold, while they were erecting a chimney at 111 r. Gregsou's New Saw Mills, near Bootle. ARCHITECTURAL AND ARCHIEOLOGICAL SOCIETY.— The second meeting of this society for the present session was held yesterday evening, at half-past seven o'clock, in the Royal Institution, Colquitt-street,—the president, Mr. H. P. Horner, in the chair.—The secretary of the society acknowledged the receipt of the last two numbers of the Building News.—A memorial was read, which was addressed to the architects of Liverpool, and signed by pupils and others, to the number of forty-one. The prayer of the memorial was that they should be allowed to commence business at nine o'clock in the morning, and stop at five o'clock in the evening on every day ex cept Saturday, on which day they wished to cease busi ness at two in the afternoon. Several of the principal architects had assented to the prayer of the memorial, and Mr. Piston said he had found it to work well. Mr. Ellison was more ix favour of the hours being from nine to seven, with an interval during the day of two hours for dinner. Some further discussion took place on the subject, when it was agreed that the society, as such, could do nothing farther than acknowledge the receipt of the memorial.—Mr. Goodall made a short statement regarding the observations he had made while on a visit to Roxiter. To this Mr. Picton added a few observations on the same subject.—A paper was read by Mr. F. Horner, entitled "Amateur Criticism on Art; its Right and Limit."—Thanks were voted to the essayist and also to the chairman, and the meeting separated. WEST DERBY BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—Mr. Pitts pre sided at the usual weekly meeting of the West Derby Guardians, yesterday, and 'the other members present were—Messrs. H. Edwards, Whitby, Ledger, Garrett, Reyes, Medcalf, Pilling, Abrahams, Roberts, Mawdesley, Roscoe, Ware, Morris, and Smith. The minutes of the last meeting were read, and it appeared that, after the ordinary business last week was concluded, the following resolution had been passed :—" That, in consequence of the chaplain declining to provide two services for the inmates of the workhouse on the Sabbath in addition to one service at the hospital, the incumbents of the several churches in the townships of West Derby, Everton, and Rirkdale be respectfully requested, either by them selves or curates, to provide an afternoon service, in rotation, at the workhouse, and that the clerk be directed to obtain the decision of such ministers, and make the requisite arrangements, so as to meet their convenience." The master of the workhouse reported that the num ber of paupers in the house was 659 last week, this week 658 (of whom 368 belonged to the Toxteth-park Union) ; and that in the corresponding week of last year there were 642 paupers in the house. Last week there were 79 sick paupers in the hospital, but this week the number was 81, whilst in the corresponding week of last year it was 121. The following cheques for out-door relief were granted--Mr. Potts, £l2O ; Mr. Olney, £3B ; and Mr. Lythgoe, £22. The other business before the board was of a routine character. THE LIVERPOOL ROYAL ARTILLERY VOLUNTEERS. The first meeting of this force took place yesterday, at the Cotton Sale-room, and was worthy of the body, and the town of Liverpool. The seats were filled by members of the corps. Mr. James Walter, honorary secretary of the body, was called to the chair, when cheers for the Queen were given with great heartiness, after which Mr. WALTER addressed the force, observing that the members were formally called together to sanction the proposed rules and regulations for their government, and other formalities required to be complied with by the Government circular. That being done, and certain officers elected, they would at once proceed to business with the Lord-Lieutenant. Having disposed of the routine, Mr. Walter said :—This gathering of a large body of the clerks of Liverpool, at the close of a day of unusual toil, to proffer to our Sovereign your services as an enrolled body of volunteer artillery, is, indeed, one of the most interesting and remarkable events in the history of the good old town. I see before me in this room, daily devoted to the disposal of vast amounts of produce drawn from every quarter of the globe, seated on the benches, worn thin through long occupancy of anxious dealers, whose united transactions sum up to fabulous amounts, a body of young, ardent, spirited men, drawn hither by motives that should inspire the warmest admiration of eve ight-minded citizen, and arou6e feeling cf the heartiest kind in favour of the cause you offer to cspo htly in throwing cannot but feel that you h, res into the gt spring out of this diversic expec res hours?

We can with pride and ratification point to our Tinley as second to but few men in England in rifle precision; so that although Liverpool has yet made but a thin show of vohniteers compared with what is needed of her, yet we will believe that peculiar circumstances of the moment rather than any insensibility to action has been the cause of the delay.

SIR,—In sorrow, rather than in anger, I feel com pelled to say, that the remarks in the Courier of this day, on the speech of the Earl of Derby, delivered at the banquet on Saturday last, are written in bad taste, and wrong conclusions, They are, therefore, calcu- lated to mislead many well-disposed persons, 7 and to njure the Conservative cans( article must have been written by a foe to the late government, and the Con- be known to the merchants of Liverpool that thii force is entirely composed of young men—, surance offices, and mercantile counting-houses; banded together for purposes of acquiring, by sy. drill and hard work, something like a modest capabill., the town defence. The same' efficiency you exhibit in yo employers' business duties will be manifest in your sold capacity. (Hear.) The willing interest you take in can forward through all the details and ramifications of commercial transactions, will be brought to bear newly-acquired capacity; and I that your lerks in banks, in bat you are n firmly rel honlderinv determination, pluck, and capab: will in no way detract from your co ...house zeal and effi- cienty, but rather that ,e manly exercise which nerves yc arm for your count s defence shall imp ,pour tc your intellects, and render you more fitting for the duties of the desk, with your minds more than ever bound up in the interests of those you serve. (Loud cheers.) As your honorary secre tary, I have studiously refrained from ann cular patrons of this force, simply because I consider the whole of Liverpool as rightly claimable for its patrons.. I have not sought interviews with any gentleman of distinction, but con fined myself strictly to your business of real soldier-making. may say, however, that, on Monday last, his Worship the Mayor did your corps the honour of requesting my attendance at the Guildhill; this without any solicitation from me, and I need not say that you have the hearty support of your excel lent chief magistrate. At the close of his interesting speech, Mr. Walter expressed his earnest hope that funds would be provided to purchase a library for the artillery arm, and a permanent building ob tained for its use, where the young men could resort for pur poses of assuming and taking off their soldier garb, and so save the loag distances many would have to travel to reach their homes. Mr. WALTER then stated that, proportionate with the num ber of enrolled men, they had in their power for immediate disposal three captaincies and six lieutenancies. He adyised the force, however, to elect only two captains at this their first meeting, leaving for their meeting on Saturday next the election of the other disposable commissions. In highly eulo gistic terms Mr. Walter then submitted to the force the name of Capt. Thomas Bourne, an officer of artillery experience, of an old Liverpool family of high standing, and 1 deuce near Liverpool, be commanding officer of the fora gentleman eminently qualified to Captain Bourne was unanimously elected to hold such rank as her Majesty should think prope The only other captain elected was our respected townsman Mr. Philip F. Tinnc, of the firm of Sandbach, Tinne and Co. His name was introduced to the force by Mr. Walter, in terms worthy of his position and high character. When Mr. Walter stated to the corps that Mr. Tinne, until now created Captain Tinne by the Liverpool Royal Artillery force, had rejoiced, line a man of true metal and a gentleman, to shoulder his rifle in the honours of a full private, there was most excited cheering for that gentleman. to confer, After transacting private business connected with the forma tion of the force, the meeting auguring so favourably for the embodiment of a really efficient body of artilDary, broke up, not, however, without cheers, again and again repeated, for Mr. James Walter, through whose energy and known deter mined spirit the success of the movement has been ensured. It was arranged that the remaining commissioned officers should be selected from the leading and best suited men of Liverpool. -...'---- Orders have been received in Dublin from the Post officeFithorities t o h ave a spec i a l t ra i n i n rea di ness a t the Ring's-bridge terminus, to start at 11 o'clock a.m., on Sunday, with t h e Amer i can ma i l for C or k .

As a good i nstance of the h i gh value o f censorship, there is a good story going the round of the city, of one of these official critics, who struck out a manual of chemistry--by the way, the first book of the kind printed in Russia—the name of prussic acid, alleging as his reason for so doing that it was an insult to the Emperor for so deadly and virulent a poison to bear the name of the country governed by the untie of his Ala jesty ,— .Lctterfr on St. retcreb;ir, consequence This great fact alone should be enough to arouse the philanthropist and friends of education, to examine and to see whether this great drag on their efforts cannot be on this I removed. But further, we should not lose sight of the fact, that the tone and the many facilities now afforded for the development of the mind of our youth, must be of great consequence on the future of our country; and that as it has advanced so far by the diffusion of intelli gence, the means of education, and the guiding of the Gospel, rather than by manual labour, and to continue in the future that has been in the past—true progress, England's sons must be wise in intellect, and firm in religious principle. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ And this can only be secured by the rising class of our community, the future of our " nation of shop keepers" having increased facilities for enjoying already provided means of mental and religious improvement. But, we now ask, will our assistant-tradesmen make good use of leisure hours ? We unhesitatingly answer— Yes. And we are not prejudiced as being one of their number, and as being injured by late closing ; but we have enjoyed acquaintance with them ' • we have fre quently mixed with them ; and, therefore, may be allowed to know something of their .desires, and their inclinations. We truly believe that, equally with that other large portion of the community, our clerks, they would avail themselves of intellectual improve ment. We are told, and it is considered a strong argument by many employers, that their assistants would not make good use of the time had they such time afforded them. This we venture to dispute, and we think the case of our commercial clerks one in point. If we go to an evening class and ask what is the occu pation of the pupils, we are told clerks ; do we revise the names of the members of our literary societies, what have vie—clerks ; do we go to lectures and look around us, whom do we see—clerks; do we ask the secretaries of our Christian and other associations, who are the majority of subscribers, again the answer—clerks. Why is this, we ask ? Simply because their business is mostly finished by six o'clock in the evening, assistant tradesmen's bnsiness on the average at nine o'clock in the evening. Place the assistant tradesman on the same footing as our clerks, and, we doubt not, that the same results will follow. Even our mechanics and artisans, all honour to them, are members of our evening classes, and frequenters of our public libraries from seven till nine o'clock in the evening; thus the assistant tradesmen only are without facilities. _ _ _ . _ im provement,✓ we should see it evinced ere now. We have But, says an employer, if there was a desire for heard this airument used. How could the desire be evinced ? No books are allowed in the shops, perhaps very properly so. No thinking can possibly be indulged in by the assistant ; for what with preparing for, and attending to, and sending after customers, all train of thought must be broken—and, possibly, did he indulge in afty, and in the midst of (business appear reflec tive, very likely he would be informed " he was not paid for thinking." And when the establishment has been closed, and himself at liberty, say at nine, often ten o'clock at night, what spirits then, after fourteen or six teen hours' st ra i n , are e l ast i c ; what mind prepared for intellectual food ; what sentiments ready for moral or religious activity —none; the spirits must be dead, the mind confused, the faculties benumbed, and the only feeling perceptible, a hankering after something to rouse, centre or awaken his feelings.

THE LIVERPOOL STAG HUNT, FYTTE THE SECOND. " A yow ! how-how ! yow-how !" The dogs come howling round, To see their huntsman in such fix, The whole pack stands astound ! Then Jemmy with a ready wit, For such emergency, Beats up such clouds of pungent dust, As let him soon get free " Yow-how ! good dogs ! set on! One of these bucks I'll slay" The dust was blown aside—ha ! ha ! The herd had pranced away !

There is string of grievances advanced by the writer, too numerous to recapitulate in a short letter; all being only the imaginations of the writer. But there is one circumstance I cannot allow to pass un noticed—and that is, appropriating language to the Earl of Derby that he never uttered. I was present at the banquet ; had the good fortune of sitting near the noble earl; heard every word he uttered; and have since carefully read his speech in other papers, as well as in the supplement to the Courier, and can speak positively. The writer in the Courier states that the Earl of Derby said, that " the Romish party in these kindoms are the natural allies of Conservatism." Now what the Earl of Derby did say, was, "that the great body of the enlightened Roman Catholics of this country evince a tendency to alienate themselves from the advanced Liberal party, and unite themselves with those who are their natural allies—the Conservatives of this country." The bias of the writer in the Courier must be obvi ous, and his other statements and conclusions are little, if any, more correct. When the Earl spoke of the en lightened Roman Catholics, he undoubtedly alluded to the large landed proprietors, and the edu cated and the independent, nine-tenths of whom are Conservatives, and not to the half educated priests and thr , _ _ the ignorant an superstitious ocks under their control. The article in the Courier did - -irnrise the zealous adherents of Conservatism in this town ;and in conclusion, I can tell the writer of it that every word and every sentiment uttered by the Earl of Derby on that memorable occasion went to the heart of every true Conservative present, and caused a thrill through his veins, which showed the noble earl had indeed touched the true chord.—l am, your obe- AN OLD CONSERVATIVE. die 'Change servant Nov. 2, 1859 LARGE PROJECTION OF NEW BUILDINGS. E EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES In the building now in the course of erection on the site of the old Compton-house, recently pulled down, I observe that the formidable masonry intended to support the superstructure, projects a foot or more upon the already too much contracted footwalk in Church-street. This is so glaring that I am surprised the authorities have not interfered, and can only account for it by Mr. Jeffery having a sort of influence over the officials, and it is natural to assume that they dare not interfere. If it is a legal act then, in the name of common sense, pay Mr. Jeffery a sum to set the building back to a proper line. Speaking on this subject, can you inform me whether Mr. Jeffery was the chairman or the deputy chairman for the town's improvements ? If so, or even on the cpmmittee for that purpose, how can he account for one of the most unwarrantable projections being made in one of the most contracted and densely crowded thiwoughfares in Liverpool, and where a large sum will have to be expended ere long to prevent the One naturally speaks strongly sacrifice of human life on a subject which has lately occupied the attention of the bench of magistrates, of which Mr. Jeffery is one, namely, the projection of shop fronts, under which denomination this front cannot possibly come, as it is Hoping these few - lines may be the means of ag the attention of the proper parties to it, I remain, PEDESTRIAN. the street sir, your obedient servant, - - Liverpool, November 2, 1859 THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THI3 NORTHERN DAILY TIMES SIR,—In our last communication, for the insertion of which we thank you, we asked the question, why is it our educational appliances are not more successful ? and ventured to show that the cause—as far as concerns a large portion of our community, no less than 18,000 in number —was, that these means, through late closing, were unavailable to them, the very Class for whose especial benefit these were provided. The statistics we then quoted seem to have caused universal astonish- We have heard them questioned ; but we can assure our readers they are strictly correct, and almost represent, in like proportion, the whole of this great business town And sprawling lies poor Brag. Off rides the hunt thro' Castle grounds, Sure there of sport right good s gallant herd had disappear'd In burn and leafy wood ! Yelp ! yelp! Tantivy! yoicks! Quo' Jemmy—' Hark back, The deer that graze St. Anne's demesne, We'll throttle in a nick ; 4sp ! goad dog! thy fangs display And like a serpent charm The antlers of the noble herd, Poor Aspy soon disarm ! To Vauxhall now they go, Their spirits 'gin to flag The hounds go in with crash and din, But bravely stands Vie stag. The scatter'd pack hang tongue and pant, And slink amang the ferns, Some, gored and jaded, yell'd their last, And buried lie in Cairn's ! " Yow-how ! yow-how ! yow-kowl !" " Confusion !" Jemmy cries, " To see my own pet puppies Thus gored before my eyes ! To Everton ! To Everton ! There we a buck will slay !" The buck display'd a steady front, owly moved away !

Quo' Jem " confound the do gs, They yelp like stanch and sturdy hounds, But hunt like sturr Had I my bow and cloth-yard sl Like famed bold Robin Hood, 'd soon bring down each fine fat buck That roams throug ;h this greenwood." And now away they tear, With yelp, and growl, and bark, To chase awhile the antler'd heads That sport about the Park ; They rode o'er knoll, they rode o'er dale But when the deer they found, Alaelc! alaA ! the stalwart deer Charged man, and horse, and hound ! " Yow-how ! pow-how ! pow-howl !"

" Hurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah !" " What brave luck Quo' Jemmy Just as the pack was limping back Without a single buck ! Now tear him, hounds ! that folks may think We ran him down in chase ; Here, Harry ! wrench his antlers off The Compton den to grace !" Then jaded, jeer'd, and hanging tail and head, The hunt sneak'd off; and I went home to bed. "Buckniaster." AMERICAN SLANG.—An American is very indignant with us because, in a recent review of Mrs. Stowe's new work, we confessed ourselves ignorant of the meaning of the expression " bobolink." Among st our accomplish ments we lack the pure American language, and our correspondent is simply cruel to be angry with us. He also pities our ignorance by informing us that " bobo link" means " idler." The intimation is coupled with a recommendation not to rashly confuse " bobolink" with " loafer," of the meaning of which, it would seem, no Englishmen is thoroughly informed. Bobolink is to loafer as the expression speaking in unparliamentary language" is to " liar." You may call a man a " bobo link" and he will pardon you ; call him a " loafer" and you had better make your will.—Literary Gazette. sporting flitlligturt.
