"Ego=lon" is perhaps the most popular idiomatic
which even a Lew felfoo's genius hu commended to
universal eonipetive sapiration ! To rise higher,—to
improve _Pteildee,—to over-come impediments,—to
EXCEL. The idea elevates the standard of mercantile
integrity. Why should not every article be, what it
stews to he ?—One of our table necessaries, TEA, (as
proved by Parliamentary Evidence) is, with a view to
profit, mostly covered by the Chinese with facing of
ruiner,' Colour ; this deceives the consumer by giving
• fictitious value to brown wintry leaves, and enables
foreign traders to get rid of otherwise unsaleable stock.
In order to "eroar both in quality and wholesomeness
Horniinan & Co. find it necessary to import all their
Tea wholly pure—Oreen • dark olive, and the Black
not made intensely dark. Surplied only in Packets,

Pope is now attacked in small and popular *beets,
evidently intended for circulation from hand to hand,
and forth. instruction of those to whom a more elaborate
invective would be inaucesible or unintelligible. One
of these publications, bearing the name of a printer in
Paris, and circulating through the permission or C4ll.
nivance of the French government, is entitled, in •
spirit of bitter irony, " Our Holy Father lb. Pope,"
and it begins thus:—" Always the sante tune in the
streets and at howe,--in the newsptpers and in 'conver-
sation at the church and at the wineshop ; we ate and
Lear nothing but discussions on our Holy Father the
Pope. All this noise becomes wearisome. If the pone,'
honest man has male mistakes, that is his misfortune;
that is his affair." The Pope is accused of breaking his
word, and the people are recommended to set`
"Millions of excuses, Holy Father, if we quit you
but we prefer au honest king who keeps his word r
If the Pope curses modern civilisation, and thinks
liberty is made for himself alone, the people are advised
to shrug their shoulders. He is reproached with tlu
Mortars case, and reminded that if he falls it will he
by his own weight, because lie has neglected to Pr,*
the edifice by meriting the love of his people. The
rest of the pamphlet is theological rather than political
in its tendency. It purports to test the Pops. War
government, and his proceedings by the precepts of thei
gospel and the example of the Founder of C'brlstianity,

TWO BROTHILILS DROWNZD AT HeLL.—An accident
of • melancholy nature occurred on Sunday, which re
suited in the death of two young brothers by drowning.
It appea-ed that on Sunday afternoon,about two o'clock
two brothers, named Willman and Joseph Holland,
respectively ton sad fourteen years, noes of Mr*
Holland, iron-plate worker, residing at No. 17, Welling-
ton-mart, Wellington-street, went, alms with two other
boys named Joseph Costa and William 'Duncan, to play
on the timber pond, adjoining the Victoria dock. They •
got upon some pieces of timber, and the younger one
was paddling the timber along with • piece of wood,
when he accidentally fell in. The other brother got •
short piece of timber, and strided himself across it, but
while pushing himself along to the assistance of Mit
brother, the piece of timber capsized, and threw him
into the water. Unfortunately, neither of the boys
could swim, and before any assistance could be got they
both were drowned.

SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE.—Last week the neighbour-
hood of Leyland was thrown into • state of great ex-
citement, owing to a report that a young woman named ,
Mary Grimes had committed suicide by drowning. She
lived with Mr. J. Batmen, a yeoman, as farm servant,
and was awhile. The thoughts of her unfortunate
position, and the shame to which he felt he should be
exposed in consequence, preyed so heavily on ber mind
that she was tempted to lay violent hands on herself. It
appears she rose early on Monday morning, washed her-
self, and left the house about ten minutes past five a.m.
Her bonnet was found near a pit behind the house of
Mr. T. Pearson, with whom she bad formerly lived for
many years. Attached to her bonnet was found • letter
in deceased's handwriting, avowing her rash intentions.
The pit was consequently dragged, and the body of the
unfortunate woman was drawn out. The deceased had
always borne • good character. Her sad end caused
much grief to all who knew her, and has caused a most
painful sensation at Leyland. The following is • copy
of the letter above referred to :—" May 27, 1861.—Dear
Father und Motber,—Pardon me forth, rash act! am
about to commit, if I should live any longer in this
world I shall become troublesome to somebody, and that
is not my wish by • great deal, all I crave is that you
will forgive me for what I have done min to you, and
see that I am buried anywhere which ever you think
most proper, if you will fetch my box away from Mr.
Beatsons you will find three pounds ina small purse you
must take that towards the expense which I hope will
not be so very heavy and you will give the Box and all
those clothes in it to thy two sisters and I wish them
health to wear them. Ido not know that! crave any-
thing in this world now as I have but few friends now

FATAL ACCIDINT WHILK BATHING AT BRIGHTON.
—A case of drowning occurred last week on the beach
opposite Cannon-place, Brighton, to a young man
maned Janice Henry Barber. What renders the oc-
currence mere sad is the fact that the &mimed was
married so lately as Thursday last, and hadcensadown to
Brighton on Saturday with his wife, and taken lodgings
at 45, Grenville-place. Having engaged one of Campbell 'a
machines, he went into the water, and, as be said he
could not swim the attendant directed his attention to
a rope to take hold of, which he did not, appears, avail
himself of. After being in the water about • quarter of
an hour, lie was seen hr a young man, whose ac-
quaintance he had made on the beach, when about up
to his breast in the water, to turn over as if attempting
In play • port of auminersault, and to disappear. As
liedid not come up again the alarm was given, and
Campbell's eon went in and tried to find him, but could
not, and as the water was thick, did not attempt to dive
for him. A boat and nets were then procured, and
search was made for the body, which was recovered in
s lifeless state at the second cast of the net, and was
conveyed to Hodden's bath, and placed immediately in
a hot bath. Hr. Pocock, surgeon, who arrived in a few
minutes, used every means for • considerable time to
restore animation, but in vain, as the body had been
iunner•ed in the water from twenty minutes to half an
' hour, thus rendering recovery peifectly hopeless. A
thin piece of seaweed, about roar inches long, was found
to litre been drawn into the windpipe of deceased, and
this was supposed by Mr. Pocock to have helped to
produce suffocation. An inquiry was held in the
evening, at the Lamb and Flag Inn, Cranbourn-street,
when a verdict of" Accidently drowned" was returned.

DEATH BY SWALLOWING ARTIFICIAL TEETIL—OR
Thursday, the 9th ult., Peter Brennan, !adding in
Albany, while skylarking with • friend, received a
sadden blow which caused him to faint. On recovering
ho discovered that he had swallowed his false teeth.
There were four teeth, three at one cod and one at the
other end, the plate having, of course hooks' whereby
to fasten to the adjacent natural teeth. The entire
length of the plate was fully two inches. He applied
to physicians for relief, but no relief could begiven him,
and he returned home. His respiration meantime had
been uninterrupted, but his stomach had been so
irritated as to make it impossible to introduce anything,
even the softest sponge, into it. every touch producing
violent and bloody vomiting. The next morning it was
found that easpAyseuus of the head and neck had
supervened. This is caused by air which had escaped
from the trachea or liroerAia into the cellular tissues of
the body, under the skin, inflating the parts to an
enormous extent. The unfortunate man was then
suffering (ruin imperfect respiration, and was usable
to take anything but fluids. Brennan lingered on in
this terrible condition, unable to eat, and respiration
growing inure and more impeded, until, after living
thus six days, he died on Monday afternoon, as well of
starvation as of suffocation, at 5 o'clock. A post toorteas
examination was held, and the plate was found in the
meat pipe, immediately below and level with the top of
the breast bone, lying transversely across, and its
broken and "harp hook points having cut, on the right
side, • gash an inch and a half long, and pierced the
upper lobe of the right long, producing an intense
infiaunuation of the parts, and allowing what food he
had taken to pass into the pleural cavity instead of into
the stomach! On the left side the pipe was perforated.
and the plate firmly imbedded into tint AubstAnos of tbe
throat. Extensive laceration of the limp and neigh-
bouring parts had supervened.—Asserkaa Paper.
