There is, properly speaking, no house !drainage in Li verpool ; but we have a law instead, which, as we formerly showed, inflicts a penalty of £lO on any one who shall be guilty of allowing any house soil to pass into a main sewer. This law must of course be repealed ; and we trust that the day is not far distant when every cottage in the town shall have it, separate drain. The very first principle in house drainage is to avoid the use of the square box drain. It is one of the worst contrived and most mischievous forms that could be adopted. All competent authorities denounce such conduits as being little better than cess pools, and where they are carried into the kitchen floor, they may at any moment introduce fever or bowel h&c- MORNING 'Written for the Liverpool Standard.)

CANNING'S COMMERCIAL POLICY.—Mr. Canning's commercial policy was identical with that of Mr. Hus kisson. His general principle was this, that commerce flourished best when wholly unfettered by rest►ictions But, as modern nations had grown u p uuder various sys- tems, and were never secure - from fluctuation, he main tained that it was necessary to observe a discriminating judgment in the application of this principle. The wise course was always to keep it in sight, and to work to wards it as the final aim of legislation. He held the doc. as unjust. Bounties, monopolies and all special exemp tions in favour of particular classes or particular interests, were consequently the objects against which his commer cial system was cautiously, but continually directed. The Reciprocity Act, brought in by Mr. Robinson in 1823, was an indication of that system By this act the King in council was authorised to place the sbilis of foreign states, importing articles into Great Britain or her colonies, on the same footing of duties as British ships, provided such a like equality to British ships It will be seen at a glance that f extinguishing restrictions was thus fully its practical application was carefully re cale of safe equivalents.—Bell's Life of THE MODERN PILGRIM'S. PROGRESS. THE FRAGMENT OF A DREAM (From Blackwood's Magazine for May.) CHAPTER I. How SCAPEGRACE first became acquainted with SCRIP. As I walked through the wilderness of 'Change Alley, I lighted on a certain coffeehouse, where there was a box in the corner, and, falling asleep therein, I dreamed a dream. I dreamed, and behold I saw a man bearing a burden on his brick, walking up and down the alley in a grievous plight ; and ever and anon be put his hands into his breeches pockets, as if in search of something, but drew out nothing. Then he turned his pockets inside out, and cried—" Wo is me ! what shall I do ?" And, as he turned his back to me, I saw his burden, which was large and heavy ; and thereon was writ, in large characters, the word " Debt :" and drawing near, me thought the bag was stuffed quite full of mortgages, bonds, bills, post-obits, and suchlike, wherewith he appeared to be weighed down even to the ground. And, as he made his moan, and strove to unloose his burden from his back, behold another man came up to him, who also bare his burden upon his back ; _ but, wore a smiling countenance, and skipped along as lightly as if his pack had been filled with feathers; and drawing near to the first man, be thus accosted him : " How now, neighbour SCAPEGRACE, wherefore so in the dumps? Thou seemest to have a sore struggle with thy load, which, soot!) to say, seems a heavy one. Can I toe I lend thee a helping band?" " In good 'fait6, neighbour STAGMAN," answered Scapegrace, so long as this burden sticks to my back, I shall have no peace or rest, by night or by day, for I know not how long I may be left at large ; and men say that, even now, one Gripeman hath a writ out against me, at the suit of Mr. Legality, and that I shalt be hauled away to prison incontinently. Bail, as thou knowest, I can find ncne ; for Easyman, who stood surety for me aforetime, ikrupt, and thou, Stegman, hast not a penny in thy —it' thou wert ever so much inclined to befriend me. " " Nay, not so fast, friend," replied Stagman ; " mat.. ters have gone better with me of late than thou wouldst suppose ; and perchance. if thou wilt listen to me, I can put thee on a way to get quit of this thy burden !—or, if thou wouldst rather do as I do, to fill thy pockets, keep thy burden still, and yet dance under it as lightly as if it were no burden at all." " Of a truth," said Scapegrace, " I long to know how these things may be." " Know then . ," said Stagrcan, " that of late all the world have gone crazed after a new fashion of travelling, or rather flying, discovered by Mr. Irontnan, by means of h the traveller reacheth his journey's end ere he well begun it, smoking his pipe, or read. ong over " These be pleasant tidings," cried Scapegrace. " And profitable likewise," answered Stagman, " for all that are concerned in these new highways ; for ❑ow-a days none will take the old roads, which are fast becom ing full of ruts and pitfalls, fearful to behold, and all must soon resort per force to those made by Mr. Irontnan, who levieth a heavy toll on all passengers at various wicket-gates which be hath set up along the road. Now, as Ironman required some friends to assist him with mo ney in making his roads, he bath formed various goodly companies, who lend him their money in the meantime, and share thereafter in the tolls levied from the pilgrims that use the road. If thou couldst but be joined to one of these companies, as I have been, thy burden might soon be lighter. And even now there is a new road about to be begun, which I doubt not would make tbee rich in a brief space, if thou wert bnt a sharer therein." " Whither goeth this road?" asked Scapegrace. " From the town Of LIITLE-GO, by HAP -HAZARD, to wards CENT-PRA -CENT, and thence to the great city of ELDORADO," answered Stagman. " Thereafter, if the traffic answer, we contemplate a branch rail to UTOPIA." " that road of , ut metboug. which thou speakst was full of rocks, and deep pits, and swamps, and quagmires, and other frightfuls. Ido re member me of a certain SLOUGH OF DESPOND, wherein sundry travellers were bemired to purpose, and some hardly escaped with their lives." " The Slough of Despond, quotha!" cried Stagman; " a certain man, called in the vulgar tongue a Contractor, s to fill it up, and to lay a double line of rails, s, across it in a fortnight." with aid " Truly, we live in strange times, neighbour," s Smegrace. " But then the HILL OF DlFsucuvrir?"

Father Thomas Maguire then spoke likean . honest, as well as an able man • and if similar convictions were felt, and a si milar zeal exhibited by his co-religionists, the distempered state of the public mind would be corrected, and con science would become an auxiliary to law, instead of being, as it is at present, antagonistic to it.

And yet nothing is done to mark the indignant sense which Church authori ties should feel for such connivance at flagitious wicked ness, beyond some formal condemnation, understood too frequently by the guilty patties as " a make believe," to divert from themselves the suspicion which might arise, that with the atrocities which were planned and perpetra ted they were in their hearts well pleased.

PRONUNCIATION OF INDIAN PROPER NAMES.—A correspondent of the Glasgow Herald says :—At a time when Indian affairs are exciting no ordinary interest, the following hints as to the pronunciation of certain names of places, in and near the seat of war, may be acceptable to your readers. These observations have been taken down from the dictation of an officdr who has served on the' spot —every reliance may be placed on their accu- - racY :--1. All names ending in "an" have the accent on the last syllable, and the "an" is sounded like the Scotch ah, or nearly ate—thus Moullan is pronounced Mullawn. The tome remark applies to words terminating in "ab"— thus the river Chenab is sounded Chunawb, with the first syllable rapidly uttered, and the full weight of the sound on the " awe,." " Punjatvb" is another illustration. 2. Compounds of the words Feroze have the accent on the " oze," not on " poor" or " 'ha," as one often hears it. Feryzepoor must be uttered in three syllables. 3. "/" has the sound of "ee"—thus Sikh is pronounced "Seek," not Sheek or Syke. the good ataught opinion. a conclusion, we hol. ws pertee, ; tor we have the high autho. ity of Mr. Rennie for the fact, that "No town in the British dominions is better situated than Liverpool for a coniptete system of sewers." as pos ALEXANDER THE GREAT IN THE PUNJAI.7I3.—. ander the Great laid siege in person to the ancient en, finding that he was a mark for the enemy' jumped down• in the midst of .them, followe soldiers.—Although severely wounded, the bold act secu red to him victory.

And for this feeble expostulation against their iniquity, which partook so little of reprehension that it amounted almost to encouragement, he, as well as they, incurred the divine condemnation. Ilia children were cut off, and his priesthdod was transformed to ano- Ither, and upon the express ground that " his themselves vile, and he restrained them not." Now, we need not suppose that the Romish priesthood are one whit more consenting parties to the blood-guiltiness of so many amongst their people than was Eli to the abomina tions of his two sons, who set at nought his indolent recla mations, to be persuaded• that for the iniquity which abounds, they, too, have much to answer The question THE LIVERPOOL S'T'ANDARD. so that you need never know there was a hill there. rata are all clay and sandstone, exceeding well fitted for borin " Then the VALLRY OF HUMILIATION, and the road which leads therethroug,h 1" asked Sea egrace " We go slap across it in the tivinklineof a bedpost, by a handsome viaduct of thirty arches on the skew princi ple," said Stagman "Lo, you now"' ."

" Thou wouldst say, the gradients are bad; not so, there is none worse than one in the hundred—quite as good as the Caledonian." " I know not that road," said Scapegrace. " So much the better for thee," answered Stagman gravely. " But, neighbour, how do you contrive to carry your ough other men's grounds?" said Scapegrace. road t} " We promise to share the profits with them, said Stagman, and so keep them quiet; or put them on the Provisional Committee, with power to audit their own ac counts. Sometimes, no doubt, we are put to our shifts for a time, as was the case with Squire Despair, of.Douliting Castle, who opposed us on the standing orders, and threa tened to throw us out in committee; but as it ended in our buying Doubting Castle at his own price, and paying him handsomely for intersectional damage besides, he soon withdrew his opposition, and is now an act: - -ter of ive promc _ the line. • Indeed; I know not any one who can give us further trouble, except it be the old Pope, who says the road will ruin his villa, and be the death of any of his bulls that get upon the line; but as we know that he is as poor as a church rat, and will never show his face in fhe corn- mittee, we mind him not, aud, in truth, I have no doubt the committee will find the preamble proved." " Find what ?" enquired Scapegrace ;—" methinks, Stagman, thou dealest in strange words, aud usest a jar gon hard to be understood of men." " Find the preamble proved," answered Stagman ; " which means we shall be empowered to make the road." " I suppose, then, neighbour,""said Scapegrace, " there will be a great resort of travellers to this same CENT-PER CENT, and much toil levied thereat ?" " The passenger traffic, the prospectus says, will be enormous," answered Stagman ; " and the minerals along the line are of course inexhaustible." " But tell me, neighbour, is this same mode of travel as pleasant for the wayfarers as thou sayest ?" " Exceedingly pleasant for the survivors," answered Stagman. " Doubtless it sometimes happens that a car riage or two will run over a precipice, or the down-train from Little-go may run into the up-train from Hap hazard, whereby some dozen lives may go amissing ; but such accidents are unavoidable, and it is satisfactory to know that on these occasions there never yet has been the slightest blame imputable to any orie concerned—the sto- ke; being invariably a most respectable man, and the ut most attention paid to the signals." " Nay now, neighbour Stagman," said Scapegrace ; " all this is mighty comfortable and encouraging, and I long much to have share with thee in this same business." " I know not," said Stagman, " whether that may be; for the way is narrow, and many there be who would go in thereat. But, look you, neighbour, I have promised to do you service if I can, and I will tell you how to set about it. There is an ancient friend of mine, who bath stood me in good stead before now, his name is Mr. Scrip ; he bath holpen many a one in worse plight than thou art; so that by his aid, from being poor and needy, they have become well to do in the world in a short space. Let us go together to him ; he dwelleth in Paper Buildings hard by ; it may be that he will stand thy friend, and help thee out of this thy difficulty." So methrught the men went both together, and, knock ing at the door of Mr. Scrip, they were shown into his apartment, which was all garnished with slips of paper, whereon were strange figures and characters written, which no man could read or understand. He wore a coat of many colours, the pockets of which appeared to be stuffed with papers,' bearing the like figures ; be was always look ing either up or down, and he moved to and fro continu ally. as if he could not sit still in one place for a moment. " Mr. Scrip," said Stagman, you must know here is a friend of mine who is presently sore bestead, and lacketh thine aid. He would fain have of thee some of those wonderful papers whereby so many have become so sud denly rich ; and, for the sake of our old acquaintance, I Then methought Mr. Scrip looked fixedly upon Scape grace, and shook his head consumedly. " The applica tions," said he, " are so numerous, that the Provisional Committee have been compelled to decline many from the most respectable quarters, and in all cases greatly to restrict the amount allocated." But observing that Scape grace appeared much discomfited at these words, he said, " Howbeit, as the man is a friend of thine, and this is the first time he bath come to me, I will for this once do for him aceording to his wish." So, putting his hand into his nether raiment, he pulled out certain slips of paper, and put them into Scapegrace's hand, saying--" Take these, and put them into the purse thou bearest with thee; they are called after my name : a fortnight hence thOu wilt pay to me a depo4it of twenty crowns thereon, but thereafter thou mayst sell them for ten times that sum." " Alas," cried Scapegrace, " for now I am utterly un done ! I have not a crown in the world, and h ow can I pay the deposit !" ' Nay, neighbour, have a good heart," cried Stagman, drawing him in a corner ; " long before the fortnight comes, we shall have sold these papers to some other man, who will pay the twenty crowns for thee, and give thee a hundred beside for thy pains. At the worst, thou bast but to burn thy papers and be seen no more of men, which, if Gripeman should get hold of thee, would happen in any wise. Take the papers, be of good comfort, thank Mr. Scrip for his kindness, and tell him thou wilt call another day with the twenty crowns." . . _ _ So Scapegrace took the papers, and they thanked Mr, Scrip, and went their way. ........iS.

AN IRISH BEGGAR-WOMAN. (From the Fortunes of Torlogh O'Brien.) As Miles Garratt followed his homeward way through the misty shadows flung by wild hedges and straggling timber across the narrow road. he passed the tall, lean, figure of a female, wrapt in a cloak of red cloth ; herlank form was curved with age or bodily deformity ' • she car ried a staff of blackthorn in her bony hand, but less, as it seemed, for support than for effect, for she often smote the stones of the road, and often the stooping boughs of the overhanging wood in malignant wantonness, as it seemed, while she advanced with long and leisurely strides over the unequal road ; ber hood flapped in the light breeze, and occasionally disclosed a sharp hooked nose and the bowl of a short tobacco pipe, from which she drew thin clouds of the narcotic vapour which perfumed the chill night air. As the grim horseman rode by, almost grazing her shoulder with his jack-boot, so closely did she keep the centre of the narrow road, she whined a mendicant peti tion, which degenerated into a fierce and bitter curse, as he, sullen and unheeding, pursued his way. Wisha! one little penny, Miles Garrett, agra, an' the ould woman 'ill be prayin' for ycu night and morning, an' may—it's never mindin' be's keepite, the thatching pin cil ! Ride away, an' the widdy's curse behind you—you black, ill-lookin', lean, unlucky scoundrel ; may the gar ron come down an' crack your long neck in the piper's quarry, you yellow nigger! an' if you ever get back may you carry the Phooca home on your shoulders—you shka min', double-tongued, poison-faced dog, you. Oh! blur an' agers ! it's stoppin' you are, is it ?—an' it's plenty iv stoppin' an' standin' I wish you this blessed night. Turn in' round, is it ?—may you never find the way home, you down-lookin' villian ; doesn't the world know you, what sort you are ?—as bad as your murdherin' ould cousin, Willoughby, the hangman : bad luck to every mother's skin iv you, seed, breed, an' generation—the bloody pack iv yez—may ye be cuttin' one another's throats, it's all yez are fit for. Aia ! by jabers, what's that ? Its beck'nin' he is—its changin' your tune you are, afther all, is it?" As she thus spoke, she quickened her pace, and ad vanced to meet Miles Garrett, who was now slowly re tracing the intervening space which he had lately passed at so sharp a pace. " Peg n her!" he said, gruffly, as be approached, " is that Peg Maher?" " Ali, then, who else id be in it, agra ?" she responded, with a whine, " its the poor widdy, sure enough, void no one to help her but the fatherless innocent, that's more in her way wid his thricks and his nonsense, God help him, than anything he's good for, the crathur." " There—there's a shilling," he interrupted, in the same gruff tone, as. he dropped the coin into her hand. " Wisha! my b!essin' an you night an' rnornin', Miles Garrett, acushla," said she, as she glanced from the coin, which glittered on her smoke.dried palm, into the face of the donor, v‘ith an undisguised expression of wonder and curiosity ; " The widdy's blessin' be about you an' yours this night." She looked inquiringly in his face, for be had reined in his horse, and now sate motionless in his saddle, gazing upon her with a scowl of profound and, as it seemed, ,nant thought. " Peg Maher," he continued, abruptly, after a pause of some seconds, " I'll make that shilling a crown, if you do a message for me safely." " Begorra, it's a far message, an' a heavy one, the poor widdy would not carry for a crown piece, Misther Garrett, agra," she rejoined, with alacrity; " an' for safity, just lave that to myself—that's all." Without heeding her, he muttered, thoughtfully, " It mustn't be to Willoughby himself—the hot-headed old bully might frighten the hag into confessing whom she had it from —no, his right-hand man will answer better;" and turning to the old woman again, he said, in a changed tone, " you must tell old Tisdal, of Drumgunniol—ob serve my words, old woman—that his own house and Glindarragh castle will be rifled and burnt on to-morrow night, unless he and Willoughby gather their friends— you understand me—and defend themselves ; just say so much, and no more. If you mention one word of your hty:ing seen or met with me, you had better make up your mind to quit the country, for I'll undoubtedly make it too hot to hold you—do you understand me, witch ?" " An' how could I but ondherstand you, darlin' gen tleman ?—to be sure I do," rejoined she ; " never spake to Peg Maher, if I don't carry the message right. That's enough—honour bright, and no deludin'." Without further interchange of words, Miles Garrett flung the broad silver piece upon the road before her, and rode rapidly away. She picked up and examined the coin in the moonlight, and ringing her earnings together in her joined hands, she wagged her head exultingly, and, with a chuckle, muttered, as she watched the receding form of the horseman— " A crown an' a shilling, aisy aimed, by gannies, an' for nothing else but mischief, as sure as my name's Peg Maher; for wherever it lies, an' whatever it mains, I know by hfs face, an' I know by his nature, there's mis chief galore in Dark Garrett's message. Let them fall out, the blacker the better; let them he plundherin' an' murdhet in' aich other, an' caed millefaltha ; they robbed an' slaughtered us long enough, and now, like the wild dogs, when there's no more left for them to tear an' devour, they only turn an one another." She sat down on the bank by the road side, and continued in a changed tone, " Oh ! Shamus, mavourneen, did I ever forget you ? —don't think it, my darlin' ; I'm your own Peggy still — your own Peggy bawn, that you married an' loved—that was your young wife for two years, my darlin'. Did I ever lave you, Shamus, all the time you wor on ynur keepin' ?—wasn't Peggy beside you in the woods of Aber loe, ma bouchal dhas, an' didn't you sleep with your head in her lap on the- aide of- Galty More—oh'. enebla ma chree, an' didn't we dar' tbe storms together, my darlin'? an' the hunger and could, for Peggy was your first-love an' your last; an' when they killed you—killed you, my beautiful, undaunted boy, didn't Peggy—your own Peggy bawn—hould your head on her could knees for a day and a night, the way she used when you were sleepin' in the wild glins an' the monntains, Shamus laudher ma bohul bra, with no one but herself to guard you—antil the sinses left me, and the neighbours carried me, God knows where, away from my darlin'—for, livin' or dead, I'd cling to you, Shamus; and afther your head was laid in the clay—then, when our first child was born, the poor innocent—oh ! wasn't my heat t hoping I might die in the pains? that I might be with my darlin' agin. Oh ! Shamus, my hus band !—my darlin' thrue-hearted boy ! sure I'm thinkin' of you every minute that goes, an' promisin' an' prayin', ma bouchal bragh, that the time will come round yet, when l'll see your murdherers hunted an' harried from the hills to the woods, an' from the woods to the glins, an' back again—with no shelter from the winter's wind but the mountain carrigs an' the brakes by the bog side ; it's comin' yet—it's comm'—l see it comin'!" She rose hastily, and climbed to the top of the bushy bank which overlooked the road, and as suddenly resu ming her wonted accents of harsh and querulous discord, she shrilly cried— _ _ _ " Shaun—Shaun, you big omadhaun, will I never make you folly me? Shaun dhas, will you come, I tell you, or, by gannies, I'll lay this switch across your back." An Irishwoman called at an oilman's the other day, and asked for a quart of vinegar. It was measured out, and she put it in a gallon jug. She then asked for another quart to be put in the same vessel. " And why not ask for half a gallon, and have done with it ?" said the oilman. "Och, bless your little bit of a soul," answered she, " it's for two persons." THE MYSTERY SOLVED.—Some years ago attention was particularly called to a tombstone in Worcester Ca thedral inscribed with the one word " Miserrimus," (a most wretched man.) So brief, yet so painfully-expres sive a record, naturally awakened a good deal of conjec ture, and we. believe that a whole book was written upon the supposed career of the nameless tenant of a mysteri ous grave.—ln Widcombe churchyard, Bath, lately, a like inscription, the word " Annette " upon a broken co lumn, attracted the notice of a poet of no mean pretensi ons, who wrote some very affecting lines, full of touching conjecture as to the mortal pilgrimage and affecting death of the fair deceased,—which verses were inserted in one of the most popular of our monthly periodicals. The de nouement of the subject, however, is rather curious. A surgeon, who dates his success in his profession from the time of the occurrence, states that " Annette " was almost his first patient, and that he was called in by an old Duch ess-dowager, the foster-parent, who resided on the North parade, Bath, and who with tears in. her eyes entreated the doctor's best offices for the poor invalid. The physi cian was enabled to effect a temporary recovery ; the ma lade, however, eventually had a relapse and died. But who was the fair deceased ?—None other than a favourite Blenheim spaniel! The dowager was at first inconsola ble for the loss, but so sensible of the kind attention of the medical attendant, that she not only appointed him her own professional adviser, but recommended him to others, thus establishing his fame, and making his fortune. The defunct spaniel was, by means of a douceur to the Sexton, interred in a Christian burial-ground, and hence the touching elegy of the muse ! HOW TO SOW FLOWER SEEDS.—We want fine dry soil. First provide that; get the ground level, and press it gen tly with a piece of tile or class. If it contains stones or clods, remove them. If your seeds are very small. sift over it a little silver sand or peat ; upon this scatter the seeds thinly. If they are excessively small, mix them be fore sowing with dry sand or peat, in order to separate them ; and again with gentleness press all flat. Then pro vide some coarse moss—any sort will do; but bog-moss or sphagnum is the best—having previously soaked it in boiling water to kill insects or their eggs. Press it till its wetness is exchanged for dampness, and then, while warm, scatter it loosely over the seeds. Press it down, invert over the moss a common garden-pot, lay a tile on the hole, and the operation is performed. But the little apparatus thus contrived must be watched. In a day or two lift up the pot, raise the moss, and examine the seeds. If the moss is dry. which is not likely to happen, again damp it with warm water. If all is still, have patience. Thus go until you find your seeds beginning to grow. Then re move the tile from the hole in your pot, and leave them for another day. At the end of that time you will possi bly find that the seeds have grown much more ; if so, take away part of the moss, so as to give the young things more air and light. The next day, raise the pot on one side, so as to open it to the south. This may be done with a stone placed beneath its front edge; but do not raise it all round, because if you do the strong current of air setting over your seedlings and through the hole in the pot will chill them. As soon as you find the seedlings green and plump and stout, the moss may be entirely removed and the pot raised higher. And very soon, that too may be qaite dis pensed with, unless there are frosts at night, or bitter dry easterly winds by day. In the former case, replace the pot every night and take it off again in the morning; in the latter, it is wise to place a little screen between the plants and the wind. For this purpose a pantile is a capi tal thing, but a piece of board, or any such matter, will do. In this way you secure all that you want in order to get a hardy seed to grow—darkness, moisture, air, warmth; and afterwards moisture, air, light and shelter.—Gardener's Chronicle.

SPORT ! ! —ln one of the Newmarket races two horses ran foul of each other solely through the weakness of ont of the jockeys—that weakness being brought on by sweating down for the race "'FIRST TEA-DRINKING IN A DURHAM VILLAGE.—The following well-authenticated account of the first pound of tea which reached the primitive neighbourhood of Cother ston, is given by a grand-daughter of the recipient, Mr. James Raine, of London, who died at the age of 100 years about thirty years ago. Mr. Raine, a comfortable far mer, had married a wife of equal respectability from Lon don; and, as a wedding present, the lady's friends sent thew a pound of tea and a new brass tea-kettle from Lon don.—tea being then only just introduced in Cockai with a recipe for the use of the tea, viz. :—" bAe— bat it be boiled with cream and sugar." The tea was thus duly poured into the new kettle, and a goodly portion of sugar and cream added, to the delight of a party of friends who had met to celebrate the wedding. After this process, the contents—leaves included—were poared into a large earthenware bowl, and placed on the middle of a table, and the assembled guests, each provided with a spoon, set to work to sip this new beverage ; which, on account of its novelty, we opine, more than its excellence, was duly consumed—tea-leaves and all !—Durham Chronicle. THE KING OF THE FA lan s.—The inmatesof H— d. l an upland farmhouse in a mountainous district close to the foot of Snowdon, were thrown into much confusion by the entrance of a little girl in a state of great alarm. She had seen, on the other side of a low wall, the king of the fai ries (Brehin y Tylwyth Teg), and he had spoken to her. This district had in former days been much frequented by these little people. An old woman, who was sitting on a bench in the chimney corner, asked the girl to describe the stranger—" He had a red cap on, and his nose was thin, red, crooked, and very long; he had on a tippet like those worn by some young ladies she bad seen going to the top of Snowdon in the summer. She did not see his feet. She could not understand what he said, but he certainly did speak, and he shook his bead at her when he did so." Just at this time, "Throll, throll, throll" announced that his fairy Majesty was at the door. The old woman declared the language to be identical with that used by the fairy which had vanished about fifty-five years ago, on being unintentionally touched with the bit of the bridle by her father, near Clogwyn Coch. Fairies,she said, could not bear to be touched with iron. Just at this time, to the great consternation of the family, after another "Throll, throll, throll" speech, the door opened, and in walked a neigh bouring farmer, followed by, instead of fairy royalty—a fine turkey-cock! None of these birds are either reared or kept within many miles of this farm, and no clue has been obtained as to where the strange visitor came from.—Car narvon Herald. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.--COUGHS, COLDS, ASTIIMAS AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH RADICALLY CORED.— For some time past it has been known that hundreds of the most distressing cases of asthmas, of many years' standing, have been completely cured by Holloway's Pills. There is also no doubt but that they are a sovereign re medy when taken for any wheezing or shortness of breath, even of twenty years' standing ; and, as to coughs and colds, however bad they be, it need only be the wor k o f a few days to get entirely rid of them by the means of this astonishing medicine. Blair's 6ont and Rheumatic Pills effectually cure every description of Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Tic Doloreux, Pains in the Head and Face, &'. They are recommended to the afflicted, with a con- results of the improved state of medical science, and the only efficient remedy ever discovered for these disorders. The continued authenticated proofs of decided approba tion sent unsolicited to the proprietor, from all parts of the kingdom and from all classes of society, with a ra pid sale, and demand for them at home and abroad un paralleled, fully warrants the assurance that no person subject to these disorders will, after a trial, ever be with out them.

BEARD'S PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—We have been much pleased with the inspection of some portraits taken by Mr. Beard at his establishment in King William- street, which indicate astonishing progress made in bring ing to perfection the interesting process of photography. The patentee, with great intelligence and industry, has successfully devoted himself to the discovery of some means by which the cold, flat, and shadowy aspect of for mer daguerreotype portraits may be corrected. A great improvement has in this respect been effected by the use of new chymical agents in the coating and preparation of the plates. The portraits now produced exhibit a degree of boldness, and stand out with a relief greatly desiderated in all the earlier specimens of the art. The discoveries made by Mr. Beard, jun., in the method of colouring, render the portraits agreeable and life-like, while the bre vity of the period required for a sitting, compared with what was formerly requisite, enables the operator to catch at once the characteristic expression of the countenance, which is the more natural as the sitter is not obliged to remain longer than a few seconds in a fixed position. From the increased sensitiveness of the plates, portraits, we have been assured, can now be taken in the dullest weather, if not densely foggy, in all respects as good as if taken in the sunshine. A new mode of copying portraits has also been brought into operation, from which photo graphs are obtained as much smaller or larger than the originals as may be desired, with the best possible effect. In addition to his establishments at the Polytechnic Insti tution, in Parliament -street, and in the city, we are glad to learn that it is Mr. Beard's intention to open several others in different parts of the metropolis, which will ob viate the only remaining inconvenience arising from the delay which unavoidably takes place in his numerous tors having to wait their turn.—Times, April 2Z.
