warm weather we have had it is quite rein shin to meet
with something cool, an I redly we have seldom lett
with as thing so cool ss this :--Governem wanted, in •
Young Ladies' School near London. She will be
required to teach English, French, music, and to have
£3O at her command, which will be returned by instal-
ments.—Addrew, kit." Not • word is sail about the
salary this governess will have, and we incline therefore
to think that she will not be paid • shilling for her
screams. On the contrary, indeed, it seems that she
will have to pay the sum of E3O for the privilege of
Leashing English, French, and music: for although
the money, it is said, " will be returned by metal-
no guarantee is given her that mob will be the

A CAPITAL JOB FOS COSJUILOIL—We are
happy to announce that several of oar best conjurors
are engaged in the discovery of the means whereby
the Spiritualists secomplid what they grandly term
their "manifestations," but which aoeptics have been
heard to spe.k of by a shorted name. The Wiz mtle of
the North, South, End and Wed will work together in
this tack, and the result of their labours will be pub-
lished in • pamphlet, to be called, out of compliment to
the Brothers Davenport, (with of course the leave of

Stanton, not to be behind hand in kindness, telegraphs
that he has been mannfacturing crackers all through the
war, and that any he may have on hand, whem the
rebellion shall be pit down, shall beat anyholy's
Parries. This is noble, though it reminds one • little of
the orders of the Soceehmas, in the Bride of Lammer-
moor, after the dinner. "If anything is totally uneat-
able, Id it fad be given to the poor."

inflicted on Ireland by the appointment of the new
Viceroy. We can find nothing to the purpose in the
books, but inasmuch a. Lord Wodshouse is too able and

have no doobt that IriM patriots will are in the 'emo-
