" Let the TOAST be dear Woman!"—One of our Exeliange
papers contains an account of a drunken fellow, who placed
Ilia wife before a fire, with the intention of roasting her into a
declaration as to where she had hid his rum bottle. Though un-
usually warm, Fhe declined and screamed. Friends cam( to
her assistance, and the brutal husband was thoroughly Lbnched
on the spot, being generously provided with a coat and vest of
tar, and feathery inexpressibles. When completely meta-
morphosed; he made for the adjacent woods, looking in his
flight much like a kangaroo, or some rarer bird.
13nANov versus BaANnv.—French brandy, dissolved with
sulphate of copper, applied once a day, wiil make the hair
grow—•while, on the other hand, if a gentleman with a fine
head of hair, should take a quart of French brandy pi- day,
with a little nutmeg, sugar, &c., he will find his hair will all
come off, and what is worse, in a few years at most, his head
will come off also—in the dust of the last resting place.
Wno ARE You ?—A Mrs. Farnum, who lives down East,
has latterly been always asking the way home whenever she
walks out ; occasionally she requests to be introduced to her
own husband; and every two or three weeks she mahes ac-
quaintance with her own children. But on a more recent oc-
casion she actually forgot herself; and knocking at her own
door, she inquired " Pray does Mrs. Farnum live here ?"
Whereupon her astonished Help (Anglice—maid) took up
bundle and made tracks at once ;—for as to living with a double
woman, one half of whom came to inquire for the other half—it
Was more than she could undertake.

SOMETHING er%r, A BATTUE!—ThO St. Alban's( Vermont)
Journal says—" At the count after a squirrel hunt in Swanton
a few days back three thousand one hundred and eleven squir-
rels Grail kinds, grey, black, red and striped, were brought in
by the two sides."—Uncle Ben himself never was at such a
squill gunning as that, we guess !
CLEAR AS Alen—There are some very queer business men
in Albany, N. Y. One of them figures as an advertiser in the
columns of the Evening Journal, thus:—
" Vive La Rue Coolers.—Open this day some Stocks, dis-
tinguished by the aboye name, as the air ascends through
' them to the bottom of the boots, which is very agreeable to the
health in those days —P. S. The old and young Screamers in
great variety at STAATS' House, in Pearl-street, opposite
the market, six doors from State-street—so call and see for
yourself. " STAATS."
A New York paper, in reference to this sprightly advertise-
ment says it cannot, fur the life of it, conceive or imagine
how the air can ascend through the stock to the bottom of the
boots. We thought the New Yorkers were equal to any thing !
THE ATRICALS.—Mrs. Carr, an actress at the Cincinnati
(Ohio) theatre, after enumerating the performances about to
be performed fur her benefit—to wit, Alexander the G,eat,
followed by the Feast (f Apollo, and " other entertainments,"
closes her "bill of fare" with the following special announce-
ment :—" After which, a grand Agricultural Scene ; devoted
and dedicated expressly to the Farmers of Ohio, Indiana, and
Kentucky ; consisting in the exhibition of a splendid Cow and.
beautiful Calf, which will be given as prizes, to those who may
hold the lucky numbers. The prizes will be determined by
placing in a wheel or box a certain quantity of Numbers, agree-
ing with the numbers on the Tickets sold. The prizes will be
determined, by being drawn fron the box by Master Carr, in
the character of Fortunatus—and the person having the first
drawn number shall be entitled to the Cow, that of tho second,
to the Calf. No danger need be apprehended from the bleat-
in,q of the Calf, at the separation from its maternal guardian-
ship, as it has been some time weaned." 67—Mrs, Carr'e
notion is humbly submitted to. more than one manager in the
old country. A cow and a calf might not be convenient for
the cockneys, but an oss and shay would take immensely.
A FACT FOR THE NATCRALISTS.—( From the Ar. Y. •
Sun,
—A correspondent informs us that he witnessed on Mehday
night,
on one of the docks a little above Fulton-market, a re-
gular procession of the wharf breed of rats, which was some
tire minutes in passing. The creatures did not, however, ape
a regular funeral or a fourth of July procession ; but simply
passed, one by one, towards a particular point ; and after all
had passed, our correspondent had the curiosity to examine
what speculation such a mu'titude of the fraternity were upon..
Upon a closer examination, he ascertained that they had ob-
tained en entrance into a barrel of ship bread ; and soon after
every one of the animals returned, each carrying•a sea bis-
cuit ! It is to be presumed that these processional rats carried.
their biscuits " platter-fashion," and if so how much increased
would the interest have been, had each of them carried a piece
ofjeik'd beef on the top of Ins biscuit!

publishes the following " bill of parcels," which he has lately
seen :

Mocun.—By accounts from Mocha appears that
the cholera was raging there, the company's"gent, the captain
of the brig Waverly, and 42 other persons, had been carried.
off by it. Slavery was carried on to a great 'l,:tent, and was.
encouraged by the Egytian Authorities, hi, ecnsequeuce of the
duty of two dollars upon each slave passing through the CUR-,
tun House. Within the space of ten days about 700 females,
from 10 to 18 years of age, had been imported. They looked
wre!ched from starvation, receiving but just food enough to
keep them alive.

BANTAM.—Disturbances of a rather singular cha-
racter have lately broken out at Bantam, and the Governs ent
bad been compelled to resort to military force to quell them.
A body of Javanese, in a great measure from cEffcrent parts of
the Batavia residency, together with a feW Java born Chinese,
had organised a scheme of insurrection, which commenced by
setting fire to a house on the borders of the Batavia residency,
and properly, to the amount of 10,000 rupee , was totally
destroyed. The insurgents did -not attempt to plunder, but
barnt down the house of another European at T ricandia Illier.
/t party of the police, however, compelled. tls em to disperse
without further damage ; several of them were ..Wade prisoners.
Their numbers altogether do not exceed. `)00 ; mid at the date
of the last advices they were still holding outs and 150 troops
bad been sent against them to the hills.
Notwithstanding the state, bordering on actual star-
vation, of so many of the Irish peasantry, impf 'nations of corn,
butter, and bacon; from that country, continue to be every week
as large as ever.

BATA VIA.—By accounts from Batavia we are fur-
nished with some melancholy particulars of : the fate of the
crew and passengers of the Charles Eaton., Captain Lewis,
of the ship Isabella, in search of them, entered the barrier reefs
at Cumberland's Entrance, and brought up at Murray's Island,
where he found William D'Oyley, young es', son of Captain
D'Oyley, of the Bengal Army, and John Ireland, a boy be-
longing to the Charles Eaton, about 17. ears old, both quite
naked. He bought them with axes of'the natives, who had
been kind to them, having taken ',hem from a small island
called Boydang, where all, the rest of the crew and passengers
had been murdered by elle natives, of an island called Aureed.
It appears that those tn board had left the ship on two rafts.
The Captain, Captain and Mm. D'Oyley and family, and part
of the remaininr- passengers and crew on one raft, and a week
afterwards the. first and second mates, and the rest of the pas-
sengers ar.a crew on another. Both rafts happened to drift
on the Rdne island. The boy Ireland was on the second raft,
and he. ;totes that on landing at Bovdaug, he saw the eldest
son of Captain D'Oyley, who told him that his father, mother,
and tlie whole of the people on the first raft had been murdered
—a Ind named John Sexton and himself only excepted. Ire-
land further stated that they murdered itiese two also, and all
that were with them on the second raft, only leaving him and
the child, William D'Oy)ey, alive. On Captain Lewis land.
ing on the island, the natives had taken to their boats and gone
off. He found the skti:Ats of all the-white men, which he took
with him. He des'.royed with fire their huts, and cut dow►r
their cocoa nuts. on which they chiefly live.

Last Holiday the passengers from Hull to Leeds,
by Eteam•.packet and rail,: ay, arrived in Leeds about a quarter
before. 10 A. M., having left Hull, about a quarter afier a, thus
tra:elling eighty miles in about four hours and a hAl.—Lerds

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, FEBRUARY 17.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at
five o'clock.

CHURCH-RATES.
The Bishop of LONDON said that he had in his hand a
number of petitions from parishes in his diocese, against the
abolition of Church-rates. The petitioners objected to their
abolition on two grounds—the first was, that the Church-rates
were the property of the Church by the common law and the
custom of the land, and if they were not so, they (the
petitioners) would, nevertheless, object to their abolition on
the principle of the necessity of a national Establishment,
which demanded a national contribution for its maintenance. The
Right Rev. Prelate then presented petitiens to this effect from
the landholders and householders of the parish of St. Ni-
cholas, Colchester ; of Maldon, in Essex ; Salton, in Essex ;
Chiw.vell, in Essex ; Little Haydon, in Essex ; Ware, in
Hertfordshire ; from Colchester ; from the parish of
Langdale, in Essex. All those petitions were signed,
and none of them marked, by the parties, and
be had no doubt that he should have many
more to present to the same effect from the agricultural dis-
tricts in his diocese; so that those who thought that they
could carry the abolition of Church-rates by storm, would find
themselves greatly mistaken.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord A BINGER presented a petition against the Poor
Law Amendment Act, from a place the name of which we
could not learn.
Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition from the inhabitants
of Plymouth, praying for the total abolition of Church-rates.
Lord HA T II E RT ON presented a petition from the congre-
gation of Zion Chapel, Nuneaton, to the same effect.
GRAND JURY BILL (IRELAND.)
Lord CLARE presented a petition from the physicians and
surgeons in the county of Limerick, praying for an alteration
in the Irish Grand Jury Law.
Viscount DUNCANNON then moved the second reading
of the Irish Grand Jury Bill, in which he stated there
,was a
provision to amend the present regulation in regard to medical
men, whose salaries were so small under the present law that
in many districts it this impossible to get proper persons to
perform the duties.
The Bill was then read a second time.
CHURCH- RATES.

Viscount DUN CANNON presented a petition from a
parish in Devonshire, praying for the abolition of Church-rates.
Lord HOLLAND said that he had several petitions to pre-
seat to the same effect. There was one however which had
been sent to him, but which he had not with him in the House.
It was signed by 4,000 or 5,000 of the inhabitants of Not-
tingham, one-half of whom were Dissenters, and the other
were members of the Church of England; who stated that
they were not averse to pay the expenses of the Es-
tabfiAtment, but they considered that the time was now come,
when for the benefit of the Church, and for the sake of
the peace and harmony which should exist amongst Christians,
the impost of Church-rates should be entirely done away.
The Noble Lord concluded by presenting petitions against
Church-rates from Nottingham, Houghton Pans in Northum-
berland, from tho Dissenters of Kensington in Sussex, and from
a number of Dissenters in Plymouth.
Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition to the same effect,
frOuothe congregation of the new meeting house, Great Yar-
mouth ; and another from the inhabitants of the town and
borough of Great Yarmouth.
The Marquis of LA N-SDCi WNE then laid on the table the
second Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into
ties condition of the poorer classes in Ireland.
Lodi BROUGHAM presented petitions from a great num-
ter of Protestant Dissenting Congregations; among others,
in places in the counties of Northumberland, Wilts, and York,
pray ;ng for the total abolition of Church rates; also petitions
torn Bradford, Barnsteple, Taunton, Cernarvon, and Al-
beetarle-street Chapel, in Edinburgh to the same effect.
One of the petitions prayed for the unconditional abolition
ef Church-rates, but only as regarded persons dissenting from
floe Church of England, in the prayer for which the Noble
Lord did rot agree. The petitionels all agreed in praying
for a total and unqualified abolition of Church-rates, and in
opinion that it would be worse to abolish them for the pur-
pee of throwing them on any general fund than to allow
meters to remain as they at present were. But they took
different views of the grounds on which they urged the prayer;
:be majority urging it on the ground of liberty of conscience—
evereno the ground of Church-rates being unseriptural, there-
fort illegal, and others on the ground that they were bad for
tia• Cforrelt, oppressive on the community, and tending* to pro-
mete strife arnorg the diarcnt classes of his Maj-sty's sub-
jects
