DRYDEN AND HIS 7*.----Prycleu has himself told
us that he vac, pf a grave cast, and did not much excel
in sallies of humour. One of his bon mots, however,
has been preserved. He does not seem to have lived on
very amicable terms with his wife, Lady Elizabeth,
whom, if we may believe the lampoons of the time, he
was compelled by one of her brothers to marry. Think-
ing herself neglected by the bard, and that he spent too
rruch time in his study, she one day exclaimed, "Lord,
Mr. Dryden, bow can you be always poring over those
musty books ? I wish I were a book, and then I should
have more of your company." " Pray, my dear,"
replied old John, "if you do become a book let it be au
almanack, for then I shall change you every year."—

INVERNESS RATS. A striking instance of the
daring and determined character of the rat occurred
here last week. A lywoler of fowls were kept in an
9uthonse in Bank-lane, and the owner of them was an-
noyed and surprised to find that out of a lot of twenty-
four thirteen had disappeared unaccountably. Eggs
also vanished in the same way, and it was only last
week that the matter was cleared up by the detection of
a number of rats in the act of dragging the cock, a large
bird, into a hole in the corner of the wall,. The head of
a fowl was also found at the entrance, and part of the
wing, legs, and body of the cock were also gnawed Off,
and though he still lives, he bears evidence of the strug-
gle he had for life with his voracious enemies. Since
that time numbers of the rats have been taken in traps
and others poisoned.—lnverness Courier
THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH OF 1743.—0ne hundred
and seven years um there appeared in the Scots Araga-
Zbif a remarkable letter dated from Renfrew, and headed,
"An Expeditious Method for Conveying Intelligence."
Premising that electricity is transmissible through a
short wire without any apparent diminution of inten-
sity, the writer shows how, in his opinion, it may be
turned to practical account. Extend wires, equal in
number to the letters of the alphabet, between two
distant places ; support them at intervals on glass fixed
to solid bodies ; let each wire terminete in a ball ;
place beneath each ball a shred of paper on which the
corresponding letter of the alphabet has been printed.
Bring the further end of the first wire into contact with
an excited glass tube, and the paper "A" will instantly
rise to the first ball, in virtue of the principle of attrac-
tion. Thus the whole alphabet may be represented. A
series of electrical bells, decreasing in tone from "A"
to "Z," may be employed instead of the paper. Possible
objections are anticipated and met, by showing how
the wires may be insulated throughput. Sneb was the
first electric telegraph, invented in 1143: an instrument
theoretically accurate in every detail, although rendered
impracticable for any considerable distance by its
cumbrous arrangement of wires.--Cornhill Magazine
for July.
110 W 'PRIZE-FIGHTS ARE GOT UP.—An American
writes to Thi Clipper, United States paper, detailing
sporting-house here they hap a room upstairs where
how prize-fights are got up about London. In every
the boys can put the mittens on. They have sparring
two or three evenings during the week. To these
there is no charge, unless it be for the "benefit of young
so-and-so ;" then, if the beneficiaire is not of some note,
the tickets are seldom above a shilling, unless you take
a reserved seat, but such reserved seats I never saw.
On occasions when there are no benefits, the company
is not the most choice ; at least, they don't look like
"dry-goods-clerks," I said there was no charge except
at benefits, but no one should 'attend 'either without a
few shillings in his pockets. When two boxers get
through basting each other, they immediately leave the
ring, and carry the "hat" round, with " Please, sir, help
a poor fellow along!' This, from eight or ten couples,
would soon . relieve your pockets of a couple of dollars,
but you must put up with it, as no American can with-
stand them—for, like. Uriah Heep, they are "so humble"
and polite. Many of those who have been in the ring
do this. The exceptions, are among the higher order of
pugilists. My first visit was to Sayer's exhibition,
where such people as Job Cohley, Galant and Hicks,
appeared, and with very few exceptions, all who sparred
carried the "hat " round It must be here nuderstood
that of those who spar at these exhibitions, some are
working men, but a great part of them are " setters,"
who get their living by carrying round the aforesaid
"hat." If any of them prove to be game, and tidy with
his " hands," he is likely to be backed for a mill with
some one by the proprietor of the house, and then he
may be called Jem Ward's "big ' kin," or Harry Broome's
"novice," or somebody's "pet." This latter appellation
is more fancied, I understand, when the pet is, the
protege of some well known " bruiser." The " pet," or
" big 'un," if he win a battle, may get a " light stake"
from his backer or backers, and for this he is gratified,
favourite at the house until be lose a battle. This is
as ha is well fed v hile training, and an especial
pretty near the style, I think, in which prize-fighters
are manufactUred in England.

The public needed no ghost ,to tell it what a direful
calamity would be the occupation of London by au

invading enemy. And Lord Overstone is not rielier

than any other man of common sense and experience in
his knowledge upon this subject. He says what all say
—it must not be. He places the first line of defence in
the Channel, and supposing any serious reverse to

happen there, then the next line must be taken up
foot to foot with the enemy. There are, indeed, three
lines : first, the fleet ; secondly, opposition to a land-

iug ; thirdly, if that great difficulty be surmounted,

our armies covering Loudon, and contesting every
inch of ground, with the advantage of knowledge of
the country and the command of all its resources, while
the enemy would remain with only the exhaustible-

supplies he had brought With him. Let us suppose, for
a moment, that our first defence failed, our fleet being
worsted in an engagement. Even this improbable event

could not occur without much loss to the enemy ; for his
transports could not escape much damage or destruction,

and his disposable force would be at least considerably
diminished. But there may be no battle at sea, it may be
suggested, and the enemy's fleet may give ours the slip, ar.d
come upon our coast unopposed. Considering what the scale
of such a fleet must be, and the narrowness of the waters
their vessels would cover, it is hardly possible to suppose
that so huge au armada could escape our fleets, but
even in that event there would remain, in face of
it, the immense difficulty of a lauding either with
or without resistance. It is the fashion to make

light of this difficulty, and to suppose it easy to
place men, baggage, artillery, ammunition, and
horses in boats, and run them ashore anywhere; but
our officers who has experience of the disembarca-
tion in the Crimea in fine weather, without baggage
and with few horses, and unopposed by the enemy,
will bear testimony to the immense difficulty of

the operation in circumstances the most favourable ;
and far from certain, indeed, must have been the
result in that instance if the Russians had offered the
resistance in their power, in which case the expedition,
if it could have etle:led the landing, must have done so
at the cost of a loss seriously imparing its strength.
But let us suppose this obstacle overcome ; let us suppose
the French landing with as much ease as passengers out
of packets, and carrying their horses, and artillery, and
munitions of war acthuic ao lightly R 9 if they were caipta
bags. Well, what next ? Why within twenty-four hours
all the troops in Great Britain, regular and irregular,
would be assembled at any point pitched upon for a stand
azainst the invaders. Our railways would enable us
to concentrate all their forces in less than a day, and to
furnish them with all supplies in any position they may
occupy. This is the true fortification on which we have

to place our dependence, the living lines, the flesh and

blood bulwark of the war. With the cause that would
inspire such a force, it is a wrong to our countrymen to
conceive the possibility of defeat ; but even in that disas-
trous event, and the occupation of the capital, we believe
that the patriotism and devotion of the country would
rise equal to the emergency, and spare no exertion, no
sacrifice, for the rescue of London, and the expulsion of
the invaders. We sannot but think, indeed, that Lord
Overstone does great injustice to his countrymen in this
passage :

" I believe that in the case supposed there would exist
a prevalent feeling that the fatal blow had been struck ;
that the deep humiliation had been sustained ; that the
means of satisfying his exactions are under the com-
mand of the enemy; that the means of further and
effectual resistance are doubtful, while the calamities
attending it are certain and overwhelming. Under
these circumstances, many, no doubt with a noble spirit,
would counsel determined and persevering resistance at
all hazards and under any sacrifice; but many would
deem such courage to be recklessness, and would think
the time come tor bending under the blow, and that no
rational alternative remains but that of purchasing the
withdrawal of the enemy upon the best terms that could
be obtained. Which of these conflicting dews would
prevail I cannot undertake to determine."
Why should Lord Overstone think his countrymen less
devoted, less resolute, than tlw Russians, whose spirit
rose with the occupation of their holy city by the French
That people, with nothing like our stake, intimated to
their Emperor through their chiefs that they would suffer
no compromise, no treaty with the enemy, and that they
would refuse obedience to his generals implicated in any
such transactions.
The occupation of London would be as mighty an
evil as Lord Overstone describes it in all but this the
worst respect—that it would not prostrate the spirit of
the people—it would not bend them to submission, and
to buying off the enemy; but would resolve them to work
out their deliverance by the might of their own hands,
and the virtue of a sacred cause. Justice and courage
make great odds.
We may be reminded that we have not touched upon
the present question, whether the dockyards and arsenals
should be placed in a state of defence. Against a coup
de main, which is the only danger to be apprehended,
they already are in a state of defence, certainly those on
the south coast, which are the maul stagans, and most
exposed. To do more with, tikeac pieces, end prepare
them against regula4 sieges which could not enter into
any plan of invasion, would be to withdraw from the
forces available for the field, and to lock up in garrison
some.thirty thousand men at the very least, and to throw
away many millions of muney.—The Exam i her .

HANGING 13Y PROXY.—We observed that all along
the route the junks had hung out white flags as a sign
of peace and neutrality. We passed near the junk of M.
Delorisse, the naval officer, who, having charge of tiw
transport service between Tien-tsin and Pecheli, had
been for some time living with a few E,uropcan sailors
in the midst of the enemy's country. We learned to
our surprise that he Lad hanged two Chinamen the
night before. Two of his sailors had gone on shore in
the usual way to buy provisions, and had been attacked
at the corner of a street. One of them had received six.
deadly wounds from a spear. M. Delorisse armed. bls
twelve Europeans, gave his junk in charge. to the
Chinese crew, and set out in pursuit of, Ali,e mandarins
of the vlliage. He told them that, if they did not de-
liver up the perpetrat ors, their own heads would suffer
for it. They brought the guilty parties without delay.
One was. already dead from wounds he had received.
The two others were alive. They were hanged from the
mast of the junk. A very curious incident, illustrative
of Chinese manners, imparted a touch of the ridiculous
to this fatal occurence. Three old men carne on board.
They had been sent by the relations to ot&r themselves
as substitutes for the prisoners. They were willing,
they said, to, he hanged in lieu of those who had com-
mitted the offence. They were very much surprised
when their offer was refused by the commander, and,
indeed, on leaving, anyone seeing them would have said
that they had been badly used by him. Had their pro-
posal been accepted, they would have obtained a large
sum in return for their lives, which would have enriched
their relations for years. They had missed a good bar-
gain in consquence of the childish scruples of the French
officer. These extraordinary transactions are not un-
common in the history of the Chinese empire, and, indeed
they are closely interwoven with Chinese manners.
The English have often been deceived in this way on
the Canton river, when they have endeavoured to oh,
tain justice from the mandarins for attacks upon their
countrymen. In such cases, poor creaturcn who, bad
voluntarily taken the place of the mii:d,er,er.s, and who
were perfectly innocent of the crimp, have been executed
with great solemnity in presence of the persons ap-
pointed by the European, authorities to see that the
punishinen,t was actually inflicted.—Baron Gros's

NEW INVENTION.—TISE NEW FOUNTAIN PEN.---A greater
annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with—the
difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve-
ments the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Itudhall
and Co., is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec-
tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of
a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, and this barrel
can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly
clean without any chance of being corroded. 4n9ther feature
in this pen is, that one dip in the ink will last for five minutes'
quick writing. The pen itself is of the 13,1:lest description, and
in merchants'. ofitees, banks, and indeed in every place, it will
be found to till a want felt by every one up to this tune. We
have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by 14 E. T. ll all,
South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are
sure all who use it will giye a full verdict in, its favour.

THE EXHAUSTION OF THE STOCKS OF
FODDER AND THE HIGH PRICE OF
ANIMAL FOOD. •

(Front the Money Mitrket Review.)
We make no apology for calling attention to a for
considerations relating to the supply of food other than
cereals. The food question, whether as affecting mall
or beast, is unquestionably one of primary importall"'
There is an obvious connection between the present
remarkable exhaustion of the stocks of fodder in
this country and the extraordinary high price of •
butchers' meat ; and an important influence
thereby exercised upon the consftption of other articles
of produce. Animal food is more largely 00'3514
in England than in any other country in Eurellj
and when its purchase occasions an unusual drain upon
the pockets of the population, they have, of course,,t"
less to spend upon other articles. They must cconomio
both in this and in other directions. If the working
mall's wife finds that, after providing a bit of meat I"
the Sunday's dinner, the week's wages will not sulliel
to buy some little ordinary luxury—or if the working
man himself is compelled to content himself With 91/:

general consumption, and even upon 'the revenue, mat

which is a trifle in a single household, assumes difi
ferent proportions when it is repeated in a railli°ll°

A good deal has been said about the prospect oii
late and deficient grain harvest, but sufficient attent
does not seem to have been directed to the effects-1°
important, it is true, yet still considerable—of prospec-
tive deficiency in the hay crop. Owing to the 11
continuance of cold wet weather, the grass has eccl Ore
neither the height nor the weight usual at this vessel' ;$
and there is reason to apprehend that when the.ll°l,
weather, now due, sets in, the forcing proceis to which
it will suddenly be subjected will not do much to,ior
prove the prospects of the farmers and grazier!. 132 t
there is another feature which points iu an equally 01'1!
manner to a deficient hay-crop. The stocks of fod'
are so completely exhausted that it has become neces-
sary to have recourse already, to an unusual extents
the growing crop of grass. The extraordinary duration
of wintry weather has caused the farmers' provision fclf

is that, except in those instances where there is caPital,t

necessities. They cannot wait until the crop arrives.

maturity.
These evidences of sacrifice furnish an idea of the.
straits to which the farmers have been driven, o'll
explanation of the high price of butchers' meat. Au
the very circumstance that, after exhausting the stoa+
of roots, bay, and other food for cattle, the agriculturii°
are obliged to resort thus early to the grass cl°l3!';
indicates that the price of animal food will prohabu
remain at an unusually high point for a considerable
time to come. Amongst other features there has bellt,
a bad lambing season, and for all the sacrifices 111`...„`1"
have been imposed upon them, the agriculturists 113'
be compensated in some form or other. A little °Will'
tion will show that the form of compensation is YariQu3'
and that it appeals tangibly even to the most tuareilect:l
ing. One effect is the prospect of a late, deficient,

Throughout the woollen districts the high price a
