Tun BARON DR VIDTL. —An attempt has been made
to obtalm the release of the Baton de Vidil by. number
of his friend, and, for the purpose of strengthening it,
the eon was applied to, to ascertain it he was willing to
be • party to the application. Be positively refused,

In the moat imperative manner, to desist from

A W AVM Y BIM AR. —The Stepney parochial
authorities have advertised for the heirs of • trefelling
beggar, named John Denham, supposed to have
belongedoriginally to Newcastle-on-Tyne, who died
lately in • lodging-house in High-street, Stepney, and
was buried at the expellee of the parish. The parochial
officers found in the pocket of the coat which had
been worn by the deceased a coarse leather pocket book,
containing sax bank deposit receipts, for sums amounting
in the whole to £7OO.

" NIiVIR GO TO FIANCE UNLESS TOO ',TARN Till
LINGO." &c.—Some time also. (says the Greenock
Advertiser) three denizens of Dumbarton left on a
pleasure-trip for Paris. After spending the first night
in a hotel, one of the party next day took • stroll alone
in order to see the sights of the city, but missed his way
back to the hotel, the name of which he had forgotten,
• predicament rendered worse by his ignorance of ths
French language. After searching fruitlessly for it for
some hours, he hit upon the expedient of purchasing
from an old fruiteeller her stock of gooseberries, with
which he patrolled the streets, shouting, " Gude
Scotch grossets, • penny the pint." Words so outlandish
to Parisian ears soon collected • large crowd round him,
amongst which was • resident Sootainan, whe straight-
way accosted the amateur fruit-vendor, and after
learning the " fix" he had got into, piloted him in
eafety to the hotel.
THE BUTTE'. DESTDERATMI.—" The buyer's deside-
rains& is to find an establishment where will be pre-
sented to him ample choice of artistic designs, without
having forced upon his attention a host of mere in-
genious ones, and destitute of any other merit, with a
tariff of prisms adapted to the means of the economic or
those to whom price is no object. Such an establish-
ment is that of Mr. J. W. Benson situate at 33 and 34.
Ludgate Hill, and 46 and 47, &midi', whose recent
enlargement of his premises has made his show-rooms
more conspicuous than any other in the neighbourhood
of St. Paul's. His four windows contain such • variety
of gold and silver watches as to leave nothing to be
' desired but the money to buy them with. The high
standing of Mr. Benson as • London manamturer
must secure him a large amount of nubile patronage."—
Standard. Benson's Illustrated Pamphlet, post free
for two stamps, is descriptive of every construction of
watch now made. Watcher safe by post to all parts of
the globe.

TALL TALitle.—Under theheading of "International
Courtesy," • contemporary publishes the following
estraordinary specimen thereof. It is a letter from Mr.
Seward to Mr. Harper Twelvetrers, president of a
"peace rejoicing meeting" held somewhere in the Tower
Hamlets region :—" Department of State, Washington,
February 4, 1862. Dear Sir,—l acknowledge with
sincere pleasure the reception of your letter of the 17th
of January, and also of the proceedings of • public
meeting which was held on the 11th of that month in
the Tower Hamlets, on the subject of the relations
between your country and mine. It is very gratifying
to me to be assured, as I am by those proceedings, that
the course which this Government has adopted in regard
to a question of neutral rights In maritime war is ap-
proved by a large and respectable portion of the British
public. The policy of the American people, Sir, is •
policy of peace at home, peace abroad, peace with all
nations, a policy of freedom for themselves, of freedom
In their extending empire, and • policy hopeful of and
conducive to the ultimate freedom of all classes and
condition* if men. Whoever shall wage war against
the American people will find themselves obliged, not
only to commit the first wrong, hut to become, when
they enter the content, the enemiea, not only of order,
pease, and propene on this continent, but of human
nature itself. With many thanks for your great
eourtmy, and with best wishes now, as always, for the
prosperity and happiness of all your countrymen,—l
have the honour to be your most obedient servant, -
Wilt. if. SIMARD.

TH3 HARTLXT CoLLTICIT FUND.—At the close of the
business at the Mansion-house, on Thursday, the Lord
Mayor said he had a word or two to say on the subject
of the Hartley Colliery Relief Fund. Mr. Robert Jones,
the Governor of the Incorporated Society of Licensed
Victuallers, accompanied by Mr. Smalley, their secre-
tary, had that morning waited upon him with a cheek
for £Bl3, the amount of • collection which had been
going on during the last 29 days at the homes of
members of the trade in the metropolis; To have col-
lected so large an amount in small sums implied a very
considerable amount of exertion. He saw in a daily
newspaper which lay before bun that the sums sub-
scribed from day to day occupied three or four columns,
showing in a remarkable manner bow well-disponad
people would, when a proper occasion arose, devote
themselves to a work of charity, and what a vast
amount of latent benevolence there was in the public
mind. Ho could not refrain from making that public
declaration of the feeling he entertained towards those
who were so charitably inclined, and who leat
themselves to such labonn of love. He was however,
bound to say, that he thought the Hartley Colliery
Relief Fund had arrived at • point when it was no
longer necessary, if it had ever been, to stimulate '
public charity. He had said somethint to th•
effect about • formight or three weeks art when

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT. -,.Two hundred
pounds of earth were dried in an oven and afterwaris
put into a large earthenware vessel; the earth was then
moistened with rain water, and • willow tree, weighing
five pounds, was placed therein. During the spear of
five years, the earth was carefully watered with rain
water, or pure water, the willow grew and flourished;
and to prevent the earth being mixed with fresh earth,
or dust blown into it by wind, it was covered with •
metal plate, perforated with • great number of small
holes, suitable for the free admission of air only.
After growing in the earth for five years, the willow
tree was iemoved, and found to weigh 109 lb. and about
9 ounces; the leave, which fell from the tree every
autumn were not included in this weight. The earth
was then removed from the vessel, again dried in the
oven, and afterwards weighed; it was discovered to
have lost only about two ounces of its original weight—
thus 161 lb. of lignurn, or woody fibre, bark, roots, &0.,
were certainly produced, but from what source !
