A WISH FOR IRELAND. —I do not love the French
Emperor; I do not admire his rule, or reaped t bis char.
acter ; butt wish with all my heart we had a loan of
him to govern Ireland, not depending on this or that
great party in the State; not obliged to ooncede a
tenant.right to carry a reform, or obliged to endow and
devote • Papist to the Bench to secure • meet for a
borough; but to rule Ireland as he rules France
decisively, despotiaally, and nniforaJy. —Blackwood's
Alapazitie for January.
IT is indispeosahle when " a good cup of tea" is desired
that the infusion he made with yonng leaves, as the
spring aorta alone have great strength and choice d avour.
The ingenious Chinese, with • view to prat, diagnise
brown withered Autumn growths with mineral ookr,
consequently all who want tea reliable for stren.tth and
choice ..our must patchese it undisguised: such tea
has for the past quarter of a century been imported by
Honaiman and Co., London; their green haa no bluish
mineral lacing,' it is • dark olive line, and with their
black is very moderate in price. To insure the tea
reaching the purchaser as imported, it is sold by soared.
Sod agents, in sealed pecket• with the price piloted on
each, and signed by Horniman and Co. Londoo,
original importers of the pare tea; as spurious imita-
tions abound, it is neattlf.,:l to notice the signature.

RYKSZT RAILWAYS IS LONDON. —Tbe plan for the
re-introduction of street roil ways into London is being
pushed forward as rspidly and energetically as possible.
In oonnection with this matter • number of report. on
the working of tramways have been obtained from
ofnoiels in the various cities and towns of America, into
which the mystem has been introduced. The general
tratimoey thus obtainto is to the effect that the tram-
ways do not interfere with the ordinary street franc,
though laid down in some of the most crowded thorongb•
farm. Opposition is said to bane died out in almost
every dietrict, and, to crown 0. the expenses incurred
by the local authorities in repairing the roedways have
been very materially learned by the fast that the sum-
pony who use the tramways take the responelbility upon
themselves of keeping such pert of the road as their
vehicles run upon in good conclation.—ne Zispineer.

THE REFORM AGITATION appears to have drifted into
personal oorreapondence. A member of the Refo.-m
League, with • foreign name, has written a patronising
letter to Mr. Lowe in reference to the bon. gentleman's
often quoted speech, advisiog him to retract thaw
" arcusations which only enemies of English freedom,
English character, and English institution could
with pleasure or witielaatien." In replying to his
" humble, obedient servant," Mr. Lowe very Justly
complains of the League hiving kstened upon him
assertions whicili he never made, and saya he does not
feel celled upon to retract miarepraentations.
Another and more lively interchange of thought and
feeling is recorded. A short time ago the Rev. W.
Chemberlain, incumbent of St. John's Bolton, delivered
• welch at a Conservative gathering in that town, in
the course of which he made some remarks redacting on
the political character of the hon. member for Binning'
been. The matter having been brought under his
notios, Mr. Bright wrote to his informant in rather
envy terms, as the following passage in him letter will
show :—" I pity the congregation which is doomed to
receive its weekly supply of spiritual instruction from
the ignorant and vulgar minister whose speech has
been recently reported in your papers. He ia • poor
guide for this world, and I know not how say one can
trust him for the nail"

MODS Or MANAGING • NJNITIIII HOLM —oo Satur-
day week. a groom, mounted on a high 'nettled hunter,
entered this High-street of Colditream, and when
opposite Sir John Majoribeab's monument the bone
began to plunge and rear to a fearful extent, swerving
to the right and then to the left, but go forward be

overcome his obstinacy. The street was dlled with
people expecting to see the animal destroy himself on
the spike@ of the iron railing rovnd the monument,
when Mr. WDoudal, saddler, walked op to the groom,
and said, "I think., my man, you are not taking the
proper method to make the horse g ' ; allow me, if you
