DeERVOpT AT BIRMINGHAY.—Deerfoot, the Seneca
Indian, is rapidly becoming one of our national inati-
tution., if he be not already entitled to rank as such.
His movement. are watched with as much interest,
seemingly, as thaw of Lord Palmerston or Eaji Russell.
The state of his health and finalities are ob)ects of kindred
solicitude to a large portion of the British public; and
it has been reported that English Isdica, who are
pepoisily supposed to have latent sympathies with
everything having& foreign sound,* foreign appeimnce,
or • foreign name, have ,been looking upon the "noble
savage" with eyes of tenderness, and speculating with
reference to tbe probable pleasures or drawbacks of life
in a wigwam. The London journals have been devoting
" leaders" to I , and we shall no doubt read one of
these inornings of a conversazione of saran., learned in
ethnological lore, of whom the "son of ths Prairie,"
PA he is termed, will be the centre and the subject. It
seems pretty clear that at the lire-sent moment this
Indian from the " far Wog" is the chief pedestrian in
England, and as is nat we rather piime ourselves
upon our pedestrian pouvus. A tall Yankee liu
rendered the championship of the I' It. a matter of
dispute, and a Frenchman is now giving our native actors
new ideas with reference to the mode of representing the
Shakesperian drama. Verily we must look after our
laurels. Some one must be got to lick Deerfoot ; Boise
new light' must be kindled to eclipse Pechter. The
latest appearance of the former was at Birmingham,
where he was again victorious. beating his antagonists
off the course, and afterwards running an additional
"lap" to show that he was still in wind. It is true be
had fifty yards start, but we are disposed to think that
the result would have been the same although the
runners had started equal.

A RIVAL TO DIALS'FOOT.—The Arbroans Guide say.:
—"A young man, named Geer. Milli, • baker in tows,
• few days since ran on the Motstrose.road 100 yards,
and picked up a hundred stones placed • yard apart,
lifting a stone at each run from one end of the line
and returning with it to the starting point. The first
fifty were lifted in six minutes, and the whole dis-
tance we. accomplished in forty-six minutes."
SitooriNci 10 NOSTOLIL—Last week, at Gunton-park,
the teat of Lord Suffield, the extraordinary number of
L 064 partridges were killed in five days by eight guns.
The number of head killed in the five days were 1,600,
including hares and rabbits, and in one day 185 brace of
partridges were bagged. 370 partridges in one day roem
to speak of a genii season. Pheasants are very plentiful
everywhere in Norfolk this year.

FAIN PAC AND YOUNG TN.\ NZID so PAINT."—
Chinese Prorerb. Notwithstsnling those remarkable
people, tho Chinese have this common saying, con-
demning the painting or glossing over Tea, they do not
hesitate to colour that sent to England, as proved by
the published evidence taken before the Parliamentary
CAnnisittes on Food Adulterations. Chinese tea-men,
finding English Merchants will pay them more for their
Tea if all the years growth is made to look even in
colour and alike, diaguiss the brown low priced autumn
sorts, by using the same colouring powder on all the
various gatherings. Thus they not only get rid of
otherwise unsaleable stock, but &Ise double their own
and the Merchant's profit. As all such powdered
minerals must eventually be imparted to the infusion,
Horniman fc Co.'s Pure Teas are imported without the
usual blueish or intensely black 'facing' powder; their
Green is not blueish, but of a wawa: dark olive Ant,
and is, with the Black, pure, wholesome and strong.
