Tan: CAL:Fonts:AN PRN.—The everl..sting question f" Is this
good pen" has been answered Yy Mr. E. T. Hell, of South John
sire •t, who has succeeded in reducing a metallic pen, which he
designates, not inaptly, as above. There is hardly anything more
annoying than a had pen—every one knows the mi-cry. The pea
made by Mr. Hall, Is fit for any hand to use hght or heavy), and
what is of the greatest value, it does not corrode, but will work with
equal facility in any ink. From experience of metall'c pens, we can
say that this one, which is polished as gold, and will last nearly as
long, is the Lest one we have ever used,—Northern Times. One
box, containing lux dozen pens, sent free on receipt of 2s Gd in
postage stamps. Agents wanted for the country.—Adv.
BUGS.—One of the greatest domestic nuisances, especially in the
spring and summer of the year, is the prevalence of bugs. Many
means have been tried to prevent or exterminate them, but all
hitherto ineffectually. Cleanliness may check, but cannot eradicate
than. Mr. 11. Greer, late one of the Liverpool santary officials,
after intense study and dtep research with many pr,ctical
meats, in the usual pursuit of his official avocation, bps at length
discovered the great desire atum, " Greer's t'atent Anti-Bug Lotion,"
is an unfailing exterminator of bugs, fleas, ate. It is clean, simple
in application, agrecanie in smell, ano perfcctly innoxious save to
Insects. To be had at the Anti-Vermin ()face, 19,
Liverpool, in bottles at ls. 2s. and 4s each.—Adrt.

THE CTE TILING WANTIN9,—A correspondent writes :—" Now,
that we have had the llivington water for some weeks, and no there
seems no chance of getting rid of it, it behoves us to search for the
remedy to Improve this water. Fearing illness, and bearing in mind
the well-known axiom that 'prevention is better than cu-e,' it is
gratifying to learn that, in this age of science and improvement, we
have in this town the one thing necessary for tie preservation of our
healths. To Messrs. Saundere and Co., only, we are indebted for the
best niters that can be made, removing all imi urit:es. and, by their
recently improved deodorisers. actually removing a t the colour, and
producing from the Rivington water a remarkably brilliant and clear,
sparkling beverage." We earnestly rt-comme.nd our reaiers to an
inspection of Messrs. Saunders and Co.'s filter warehouse, Parher-
street, Liverpool.—Adv.

Dr LIVINGSTON.—On Thursday last, the freedom of

on account of his African discoveries.

TRADE or LIMERICR.—WO are sorry to find indications
of a decrease in the amount of commerical business tran-
sacted at our port, as the office of Comptroller to the
harbour of Limerick is about being abolished, thereby
reducing Limerick to a third-class port. Various causes
may be assigned for the diminution of the number of
vessels trading to Limerick, by the facility for transport of
merchandise afforded by railway communication, and by
the steamers plying between Limerick end the principal
harbours in the United Kingdom.—Limcriek Chronicle.
By the new law for the press no one is to be allowed to
publish a political journal who does not pay direct taxes
to the amount of 300 francs in Madrid, and 2EO francs in
the provinces. Proof must be given of his h ving paid
such taxes for three years preceding the applicatirn to be
allowed to set up a paper. Caution money is besides
required, to the extent of £3,000 in Madrid, and £2,C00
in the provinces, and articles are to be signed with the
names of the writers.
FRENCH FRIDAY SUPERSTITION.—A curious bit of sta-
tistics is menti.iLel by some of the Yonch papers. It is
observed that on Fri:lay the omnibus circulation of Paris
diminishes in proportion of 25 percent, proving how strong
is the superstitious avoidance of doing anythit g that can
be helped oil that day. Ir. is further rem,rlred that when
the Friday happens to fall on the 13th of the month
(which has happened twice this year), the otr nihus receipts
decrease, at the rate of 50 per cent. A t.tranige fact, for toe
race that boasts of being the m )st advanced in the world.
THE AMERICAN NAVY.—According to a statement be-
fore us we have nineteen men-of-war in commission in
squadrons, viz :—flume, three, numbering 810 men;
Pacific, five. 960 men ; "_Mediterranean; three, 950 men ;
African, three, 360 men ; !razil, two, 660 men ; East
Indies, three, 630 men. We have, besides, crle ~n the
lases and three or four on surveying and other special
service. There are ten ships of the line, thirteen frigates,
nineteen sloops, two brigs, and nineteen steamers, many,
however, now undergoing repairs or still on the stocks.
The wl.ole number of officers in active service is 1,203.
