Tux CAL!FOnNIAN Pos.—The everlasting quest'on f "is thil
good pen" has been answered by Mr. E. T. Hall. of South John
sire t, who has succeeded to producing a metallic pen. which he
designates, not inaptly, as above. There is hardly anything more
annoying than a bad pen—every one knows the misery. The pen
made by Mr. Hall, Is fit for any hand to use ;light or heavy), awl
what is of the greatest value, it does not corrode, but will work with
equal facility in any ink. From experience •of metallic pens, we can
say that this one, yvhlch is p3lished as gold, and will last. nearly as
long, is the best one we have ever used.—Northern Times. One
box, containing s'x dozen pens, sent free on receipt of Is 6d In
postace stamps. Agents wanted for the country,—Adv.

Bread was, a few days ago, sold by a baker in Paris,
which was made from wheat of the present year, grown on
a farm at Vitreul, near Theis. This fact proves the
precocity of the present harvest being. in fact, three weeks
in advance on that of last year.—Galignani.
LONDON AND NORTH 'WESTERN RAILWAY.—PICpaTatiODS
are now tieing carried on for the widening of this company's
line for a considerable dis`ance, out of °London, so as to
furnish four lines of rails ; and it is ultimately
intended to carry this out as far as Bletehley, a distance of
46 miles.

THE SALE en Corer:. —A bill to secure uniformity of
measure in the sale of corn and other grain, prepared and
brought in by Mr. Adderley, Mr. S. Child, ani Mr. Bass,
enacts that henceforth the word " bushel" in all bargains,
sales, and contracts of or for corn and grain, shall be deemed
and taken to mean eight gallons' imperial measure of capa-
city, and any person selling corn other than by the said
bushel will forfeit the sum of 40s ; and all bargains made
or entered into by or with any local or customary measure or
weight will be null and void.
ABOLITION OF THE Naw-RIAD.—The Metropolitan
Board of Works have given notice, that on and after the
31st instant, the New-road and separate names of places
thereon would be entirely changed; and that from that
date the road, between the Angel at Isliegton and King's
cross would be called the Pentonville-road ; from King's
cross to Osnaburgh-street, Euston-road ; and from
Osnaburgh-street to Edgeware road, the Marylebone
road; and the inhabitants are forthwith required to paint
such numbers and names on their houses as the beard
shell direct.
Tun DEFICIT COTTON SUPPLY.—Avund us on every
hand are extensive buildings, erected at enormous cost,
full of complicated and expensive machinery, providing
the whole country with an invaluable article for domestic
use—giving constant and remunerative employment to
thousands of both sexes and of all ages—encouraging
every branch of industry—congregating in an incredibly
short space of time people from all quarters of the land—
causing populous villages and large towns to rise in the
space of a few years—affording every facility for trade by
road, canal, and rail—adding ships constantly to our mer-
cantile marine—connecting, by commerce, this land with
all nations on the globe—supplying one-third of the whole
exports of the kingdom ; affn•ding a stimulus to material
and mental improvement, besides other recognised advan-
tages, and yet these establishment, which depend upon the
cotton plant, are now working either without a specific
profit or at an actual loss. The best, if not indeed the
only means of remedying this state of things, is not by
depending on a good harvest, or other fluctuating causes,
but by encouraging the growth of the cotton plant in every
direction.—Bleekburn Weekly Times.
