A gentleman, M. Mathieu (de la Drome), who filled
no undistingui.bed place in the French republican
assemblies of 1848, affirms that he discovered regular
tides in the atmosphere precisely anslogous to those
of the sea, which reduce varieties of temperature to
settled rule, by which the weather can be foretold
diva, weeks, nay months, in advance, with scientific
accuracy. . .

We learn from a Manchester contemporary that a
benutiful obelisk has just been 6nlshed by Mr. William
Grinishaw, stonemason, Cheetham, to the memory of
the murderer Taylor's three children. It is nine feet
high, and is surmounted by a croct. It is made of
Burnley stone the basement being 3ft 3m, square, on
which three lilies of the valley are carved. The front
bears the names and ages of the children, and on the
bark is the following inscription, the meaniur of which
can just be discovered through the outrageously bad
English in which it is couched :—" These poor inno-
cents were found dead on the 16th of May, 1862, and,
to avoid a pauper's grave, Mr. B. Lee received a few
hours voluntary subscriptions, from upwards of 300
persons of all chasm/ and sects, sufficient to provide a
respectable funeral and porchase this monument." fin-
mediably below the inscription are the words, " One
touch of nature makes the whole world kin. The
obelisk will stand at the head of the grave, and the
latter will be surrounded by a neat iron railing. Shrubs
will be plantei over the grave. There has • been 322
sub,cribers, 284 of which have varied from Id.
to 2e. _ _

A new idea in agricultural prises was promulgated at
the Cragie Agricultural Show, Ayrshire. Among the
extra prizes was one of • set of crinoline, given by Mr.
William Taylor, spirit dealer, of Kilmarnock, to the
dairymaid, unmarried, of the best milk cow, and it was
gained by the dairymaid to Mr. Thomas Lindsey. Was
the erinoline exhibited in the 'show room If so it
would have been but fair for the reporter to have stated
its diinensions. We imagined that the appertinancse of
crinoline to servantgalisin was oonsidered rather objec-
tionable in good society, but, probably, Mr. W. Taylor
considered that there shoull be an exception in favour
of the milkmaid. The hoop will, no doubt, answer the
purpose in canning the young lady to carry her buckets
and cans with greater facility.
The Times, in discussing the mnbject whether or not
the International Exhibition will pay, says that the
total sum required to clear all expenses of every kind
connected with the building, and, in fact, to wind up
the whole affair with satisfaction to every one, and
probably leave a balance of some few hundreds in hand,
is C 545,000, and that if the receipts go on as they are
doing now, every one will be paid in full, ani some
£lO i .000, remain n hand, but if they advance, as the
traffic managers of railwaYs say they will do, the
Croiniiriseionere will wind up triumphantly with **me

CAPTORS OF AN ESOAPIED Corncr.—lS will be
remembered that on Friday week, in the middle-0 the
afternoon, three convicts effected their escape (tub the
county gaol, Borsemonger-lane. Two active &deans
officers, named CM)011 and Holmes, whilst looking after
a thief, suddenly espied one of the ntissing.ioneleis,,
named G. Brunel, who was convicted at -AO bit,
Kinpton-assises for burglary with violence. He was
coining from a stnsll garoener's cottage in gentleman's
gsrden, at Highbury. The officer; well knowing Abe
fellow, at once pounced upon hints hut they met with
s desperate resistance. The man being tally armed
with a life-preserver fought in a determined manner,
but they succeeded in securing him Well, and handed
him over to the governor of the gaol. When the
convict found he vu in custody, he coolly remarked,
"If you had come Ave yards nearer the cotter. I
would have settled both of you." Upon searching the
cottage a pistol loaded with ball was found.
A paragraph having stated idiot Father Newman- of
the Brompton Oratory was tired of his new &arch and
WM hastening back to the Anglican home that be bad
deserted, John H. N. writes from his sell to my that
his orator/ is—" Brummagem." He has nsi control
over that which he founded at Brompton ; therefore
any visitors to the Great Exhibition who think to Qt
shriven by him will be disappointed. His address*
" The Oratory, Birmingham" where he is as happy as
the day, save when he thinks of" Protestantism—the
dreariest of all possible religions" and the Anglican
Service and Thirty-nine Articles, the thoughts et which,
adds the Father, make in! shudder."

deronills..—Tbe following letter, bearing the head-
ing of " Anonyma," appeared in the columns of the
rime, of Thursday. "Early in the seasoo of HSI, a
young lady, whom I must call Anonyms, for I tem
never been able to learn her name, made her appear-
ance in Hyde Park. She was • charming creature,
beautifully dressed, and she drove, with ease aud
two of the handsomest brown ponies eye ever beheld.
Nobody in society had seen her before • nobody in
society knew her name, or to whom she belonged; but
there she was—prettier, hotter dressed, and sitting
more gracefully in her carriage than any of the line •
19,:ma who envied hex her looks, bar skill, or him equip-
age. A good many young gentlemen seemed to be
acquainted with her ; but their recognition was
generally limited to • respectful bow as she pealed by,
or to a few friendly words slily interchanged on the
step of her pony carriage when she drew op in some
remote corner of the park. Anonynia mowed at first
to be rather a shy damsel. She io somewhat bolder
now. Last year she avoided crowds, itsd affected un-
frequented roads, where she could more freely exhibit
her ponies' marvellous action, and talk to her male
acquaintances with becoming privacy. When. all the
fashionable world were sauntering ou foot, on horse-
back, and in carriages along the Ladiso' Milo by the
side of the Serpentine, Anonyms used to betake herself
to the deserted thoroughfare leadinf 'front Amity
House to Kensington. But, as the fame it her beauty
and equipage spread, this privacy begun& isepoardllo
to her. The fashionable world eagerly migrated
in search of her from the Liidies' ADM ,to the Kan-
sington-road. The higlieht ladies in the laud enlisted
themselves as her disciples. Driving became the rage.
Throe, four, Ave, six hundred guineas were freely given
for pairs of ponies, on the simple eondition that they
should be as handsome as Anonyosee, that they should
show as mach breeding es Anonysua's, that they should
step as high as Anonyms's. If she wore a pork pie hat.
they wore pork-pie bats ;if her maggot Mad made by
Poole, their palettts were made by Fable; if she
reverted to more feminine attire, they resorted to it
also. Where she drove, they followed ' • and I must
confese that, as yet, Aminyma has fairlydistaneed her
fair competitors. They none of them sit, dress. drive, or
looks as well as she does; noroan soya them procure for
money such ponies as Anonyms contrive; to get—for
love. But the result of all this pretty play canoes a
great public nuisance, and it is an that amount, nod
not at all on account of my admiration for Anotayma
and her stepping ponies, that I now address you, I
have said that sap to the beginning of het year tfie
fashionable world chiefly affected the Ladies' Mile
in the park, and that the thoroughfare from
Amley House to Kensington wee comparatively
unfrequented, save by Anonyina. But this
year, when that road is more especially respired to be
kept open for the convenience of visitors to the Exhi-
bition, it is daily choked with fashionable carriages—
from five to seven—ell on account of Anonyms. Chairs
ars placed along it on either aide; the best partis that
I England knows, the toadies that cling to them, the
snobs who copy them—all sit there, wanking for
Anonyms. About six p.m., a rumour arises that
Anonym. is coming. Expectation is raised to its
highest pitch; a handsome woman drives Tepidly by in
• carriage drawn by thorough-bred ponies of surpassing
shape and action • the driver is attired in the pork-pie
hat and the Poole pilot& introduced by Anonyms; but,
alas, she causes so effect at all, for she is sot Anonyms.
She is only the Duchess of A—, the Marchioness of
B—, the Countess of or some other of
Anonyma's many eager imitators. The crowd, die
-
appointed, ressat themselves and wait. Another
pony carriage. succeeds and another with the
seine depressing result. 4- last their patience is
rewarded. Anonyms, and her footles appear, and
they are satisfied. She threads her way dexter-
owdy, with an unconscious air, through the throng,
commented on by hundreds who admire and bandmde
who envy her. She pulls up her moles to speak to an
acquaintance, and her carriage is instantly surrounded
by a multitude; she turns and drives beck again
towards Apgley House, and then—away into tha
unknown world, nobody knows whither. Meantime
thousands returning from the Exhibition ars intolerably
delayed by the crowd collected to gaze on this pretty
creature and bet pretty ponies, and the efferta of Sir
Richard Mayne and his polies to keep the thoroughfare
open are utterly frustrated. Could not you Sir, whose
business it is to know everything and syMybody; and
who, possibly, therefore, may know Anonyms herself,
prevail on her to drive in some other porticos of the
park so long an the Exhibition lasts? If she will but
consent to do this, the fashionable crowd will sertainly
follow her, ant the road to the Exhibition will be oat
free tor the use of the public."
There is a growing objection amongst the mummers
of tea, to the Chinese practice of colouring it,. especially
since the Official information given on the sub be-
fore the Parliamentary Committee on Food niters-
!ions. disclosed the fact, that the mineral 'facies' used
on the leaf comes off on infusion, and is imbibed when
the tea is drank. The public will, therefore, be pleased
to learn that ninny additional cargoes of pure uncoloured
tea have recently come in, per Kummer of India, and
other ships. Purchasers will do well to beer in mind
that pure green is a dull olive—not bluish—pure
