HENGLER'S CIRQUE VARIETE.

This now thoroughly established and favourite place of'
amosern'ent continues to enjoy an uninterrupted tide of.
public favour. Although for-tne:past week there has been
another ".Richmond in the field," the audiences have not
diminished in numbers, lint 'stein rather to be on the
increase., Alt% Ileugler is .undoubtedly it most indefatigable
caterer for the .r.untienient of 'his patrons, having added
to his already Powerful and talented company a troupe of
Bedouin Arabs, whose extraordiqary performances in
vaulting, tumbling, and forming themselves into human
pyramids. and a variety of groups, postures, &c., are truly
warble/la; whieh, without belogl:.seen, it is almost
impossibleito .ferm any adequate:idea. A very graceful
and pleasing equestrienne,. Cariot, has also
appe4red, turd her, perfornianc.s,itka.ye•elicited unbounded
acipiau'se: Mons. Felix xfavglti
,has !been added to the
liAt of 'these merry-sons rif the clowns, and
their united efforts keep the 'audience in rich materials
for laughter. Other engagements with talented aitietes
are pending, and several striking noveltiis forthcoming,
and, doubtless, during the corpparir's stay here the spirited
proprietor will reap the harvest his unwearied exertions
to please 'and gratify the publin'snerninently deserve.

THE Bamsti Bitia Dittizerons.---,The Times urges the
Attornej-general not to, allow these gentlemen to ride off
triumphantly
‘upon ttleir -own disclosures of their own
frauds. It' recommeOds that two cr three of the best
criminal lawyers be 'emploied, to
.aseertain whether an
indictment for conspiracy to "dcfrind 'cannot be framed,
with reasonable altpechation of progientinglit to a success-
ful issue.

EXPECTATIONS OF, THE. Sesinosr.---The Times observes
there is a sort of conventional way f expecting each new
session to do wonders.' Now, no session ever did achieve
much of its own. The sessions may have wound up jobs
lung in hand, and wiped cff arrears: .At present the nation
has no old stock of measures on hand:_ The only stock is,
that which remains froth the last
.session, and if this ses-
isiiin-'does pais' Whitt' it fellecrita from the last, that is as
much as we can fairly expect it.tc. do._
Tits RUSSIAN RaitAt6.-Y ScirsetE purchases were
offered to ba made in RuSsian railways, yesterday (Wed-
nesdav), at -.12 preen., by the persons interiested in making
a market forthem:- Scarcely any valid transactions, how-
ever, occurred, because the public at large having refused
to take can have none to sell, while the few persons who
have su`,seribed for the sake of standing well with the
Russian government or the contractors, are, of course,
obliged to resist the temptation of parting with them
immediately.

languag,s, two of them—Mehratta and Hindustani—most
fluently, and Eneltsh pretty well. He has dined with
gentlemen at Southampton, with whom he is a great
Tayouriie, on account of his intelligence and agreeable
neinners. lie eats and drieks nothing stimulating; even
Indian curries he abhors. Bread, plain boiled rice, and
roasted meats, alone he partakes of. Water is his drink.
He is a good linking man, about 40 years of age; wears
an enormens tut ban and rich oriental tress.
A VOTER "TAKEN ret."—At au election lately, no matter
where, an elector was prevented from voting by rather a
clever trick. A gentleman had some upholstery work to
be done, for which he engaged a tradesman. After the
agreement, the gentleman (who was on the committee of
one of the candidates) learned that the upholsterer inten-
ded to vote against his (the gentleman's) candidate. He
thereupon res dyed to prevent this. Aceordirgly, on the
day of the poll, he got him into the room where the up-
holstery was to be done, and turned the key. He had,
theretore, to remain enclosed until the close of the poll.
Ha was not starved, however; although the veracious
history sayeth not whether he had anything stronger than
"Adam's Pale Ale' to quench his thirst, as his entertainer
was a temperance man.--,Dunden Advertiser.
EMlGRATloN.—Notwahstardirg the great demand in
the labour market, and the txcedent remuneration given
to agricultural labourers, still the exodus continues to an
alarming (vent. Not a single day el irises that emigrants
are not passing through the town of Athenry en route to
America or Australia. The emigrants are generally agri-
cultural labourers and farm servants of b th stx.s, and
they present an air of, comfort and independatce that
stands in striking contrast, to the ragged care-worn appear-
ance that characterised the Irish emigrant in the days of
the " famine." It would certainly be eitlicult to divine
the cause of this constant emigration, Perhaps they are
going to join their friends on the ether side of the Atlantic,
or more probably they fear a recurrence of those evils from
which this coentry has lately recover, (I. and from which
their class seffered most severely.—Galway Express
HERRING 'TRADE—Nick, April 30.—For the present
Vere is a lull in the purchiee of next season's catch, the
contracts being appaientle exhausted ; but prices for the
first few weeks of July and August at least are exaect-d to
exceed 30s for crown brands—the pr'ec already agreed
upon. A number of boats have left hr-re this week for the
Lewis, and many more are nearly ready to follow. It is
expected that a trial of tee early fishing there would be
made this week. Curers appear still eager to get boats to
fish there, and 17s 61 per cm with £2 bounty have been
given. We have accounts from Stettin and other Con-
tinental ports stating that these markets will be clear and in
readiness for Lewis fish ; but all advices warn curers
against the very eerly shipments, which they consider
will be disastrous if the quality is like that of former
seasons' first take.—John O'Groet Journal,
PONI-lIMENT OF MILK ADULTERAroas.—The Paris
Moniteur todtair.s a number of eiinvic:imts of milk dealers
in Paris, for selling milk reduced in strength by water.

In each case, fifty eni4es of the sun ment of the court are to

UNITARIANS IN TRANSYLVANIA.—In our impression of the
28th ult, we published a le tar from Mr John Paget, of
ktungary, addressed to the Rev. John Kenrick, of York,
descriptive of the embarrassing condidon of the Th,itari;ins
in Transylvania at the present moment, and the immediate
danger with which their ipetitutions are threatened by the
foes of religious freedom. The letter, we have no doubt,
has by this time been lead in every Unitarian home in the
king.lom, and has produced the effect which the writer
desired, namely, indig ati,n against the oppressors, and
deep sympathy with their oppressed brethren in Teensy'.
vania, who, unless generous friends in England hasten to
their assistance, mu-t tall beneath the persecuting spirit of
their Austrian glverllo-s. On Sunday next, in the fore-
noon, the Rev. James Martineau wil, preach in their behelf,
in the Unitarian Church, hope-qreeeand when we consider
the eloquence of the preacher, and the noble Christian cause
which he will advocate on the occasion a cause interesting
not only to the Unitarian body, 'rut to all who desire the
protection and extension of religious freedom--eve feel
assured that the numerous congregation which will assemble
within the walls of the Church next Sunday will contribute
towards the fund now being raised in aid of the Unitarians
in Transylvania with no.niggard hand.
