ADDRESS TO SIR C. METCA.LFE.

We understand a requisition to the senior Magis-
trates of St. Andrew's is being handed about for signa-
tures, to request that he would convene a public
meeting of the freeholders, and other inhabitants of the
parish of St. Andrew's, for the purpose of preparing an
address to Sir Charles, congratulating his Excellency
upon his arrival to assume the government of the island.

GORDON CASTLE.—The Duke and Duchess
of Richmond, and the Ladies Lennox, will leave the
Castle in a fortnight for town, on their way to Good-
wood-park, for the winter. The festivities were brought
somewhat suddenly to a close, in consequence of the
demise of the Duke of Bedford, his Grace's uncle.
Mr. and Lady Louisa Tighe, who have been on a visit
to the Duke and Duchess, have left for their seat in the
county of Wicklow. Lord March has left to join the '
Royal Horse Guards (Blue), at Regent's Park barracks.

HINTS TO WIVES.—Make yourself so agree-
able to your husband, that he will see there is no true
happiness absent from his home. Be always becomingly
dressed, and have your household and yourself per-
fectly clean and comfortable-looking. But beware how
you show too earnest a desire to keep him at home, as
Ten are selfish creatures, and seldom feel much beyond

you suspect him, and are acting a part, there is an

real affection, so much the better, as you will be im-
pelled by Your love to study his wishes and tastes,
which is the surest way with most men to secure
their regard for you in return. Many a man has been
mortified, broken down, and ruined, by having a slattern

AN AERIAL GUY FAIVICES.--A,
rial ma-
chine, a colossal and well-proportioned figure of
a minflated with gas, ascended on Guy Fawkes Da y a n
the premises of a resident at Pentonville, and after
floating through the air for a very considerable time,
descended in the garden of Mr. Smith, a retailer of
beer, in Fleet-street-hill, Bethnal-green. The machine
is about twelve feet long, and it is stated by those who
saw it in motion that the swinging of the limbs to and
fro gave it the appearance of a walking giant, and num-
bers of those who witnessed its progress were per-
suaded that it was a living being., endued with super-
natural
its atural powers. The beerseller who made prize of it
descent has since been reaping considerable orofit
by showing it to his customers. I
