TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Being a Member of the Royal College of Sur-
geons, I feel, in justice to that body, that the individual
who has given occasion to your very just observations re-
specting lunatic certificates, is, in fact, no surgeon at all,
nor has he ever attended a medical or surgical class in his
life ; but is legally empowered to practise as an apothecary,
according to the Act of 1815, having dispensed medicines
prior to that beautiful piece of legislation. The Herald
surely cannot be serious in saying, that " every street has
its Quack, and that that Quack has a diploma from the
Royal College of Surgeons." The possession of a diploma
from the present College of Surgeons, I presume is suffi-
cient guard against quackery.
Your notice, Mr. Editor, of this in any manner you
may think best, will very much oblige,
A CONSTANT READER AND SUPPORTER
IN AN HUMBLE WAY OF THE SUN.

P.S. The writer begs leave to say, that Mr. William
Jones's partner is a Member of the Royal College of
Surgeons, but is not himself. Query.—Such being the
case, is he qualified to sign a certificate ?

WALTEit COLYTON.--The author of
"Brantbletr;House" has, in this new fiction, chosen his-
torical grokald more closely approaching that of our own
period than he had previously taken, sad presenting ob-
jects and persons of snore immediate interest to the feelings
of his readers. He places before our eyes the "moving'
accidents" of the Revolution of 168 S, and introduces us,
as it were personally, to the infatuated Monarch JAMES,
and his deposing rival. He gives us portraits, full of
breathing resemblance, of the Earl of SUNDERLAND and
his Countess; of Sir CHARLES SEDLEY, the reckless wit,
and his noted daughter, and of most other celebrated indi-
viduals of this period ; and lastly, with these mat3t ials he
has interwoven a story of alternate humour and pathos that
affords a fine relief of domestic interest to the historic*
subjects of his work.

Some conversation, which however had no result,
took place last night in the House of Lords, on the
Poor Laws. We suspect that an immense propor-
tion of the evil ascribed to the system arises out of
the changed habits of society. The speculative and
splendid-living race of agriculturalists during the
reign of high prices drove from the land the plain
farmer of old times, whose manners were simple,
and whose gains, though comparatively small, were
equal to his wants. Where is such a man now to
be round ? On the banks of the St. Lawrence, or
in the swamps of New South Wales. Large farms
have destroyed or driven into exile the honest ie-
dustrious tenant of fifty acres, and his half-com-
panions, half-servants. All-grasping avarice, one
day successful, the next bankrupt, which converts
the whole soil at one time into a mere slave-factory
moved by what may be called human machinery,
leaves it, on the first failure, a mere waste, encum-
bered with starving serfs. The remedy for this
mischief is not to be found in any legislative tam-
pering with the statute of Elizabeth :—it must spring
—whetsce gradually it will spring—from a total
alteration of the condition and habits of ag:i-
eultural society. The degrading and destruc-
tive system which has treated man as a mere
machine, must be superseded by that better
scheme of our forefathers, which considered a
manly and independent peasantry as the greatest
glory of the nation. In the Commons, Mre Hume's
motion for abolishing the office of Viceroy in Ire-
land was discussed at considerable length ; and to
Many it will be probably matter of surprise that 115
Members voted in favour of the abolition, and only
229 against it. When the usual prejudices in
favour of a long-established office are considered,
this vote may be looked upon as a striking proof of
the realonaleleness of that proposition which could,
on its first discussion (for the motion in 1823 was
merely a feeler, there having been no division), at-
tract so many supporters. We may almost take it
for granted, that scarcely one member out of the
115 would have sanctioned by his vote the demo.
lition of this ancient dignity, unless his understand-
ing had been convinced that the dignity did not de-
serve preservation. We can conceive many motives
of interest, of prejudice, of habitual thinking, which
would influence the opposers of the abolition ; but
We cannot imagine any motive, but that of convic-
tion, to induce a man to support it. We augur from
:he vote, and from the general tenour of the debate,
that at no very distant date it will be thought in-
expedient to continue an office, however high or
ancient, which 115 Members of the House of Com-
mons, on the first deliberate argument of the case,
lieve pronounced to be useless.—Timer.
Lord Redesdale, who indulged in no theoretical
speculations in jurisprudence, but, on the contrary,
was one of the most decidedly practical men that
ever lived, so long ago as 1810, introduced a Bill
into the House of Lords (ordered to be printed),
evhich, in many of its more prominent features, bore
a strong resemblance to the measure now proposed
lee Mr. Brougham. The Bill was brought in pro
ornta only, for the purpose of inviting attention to
the subject, as it could not pass into a law when
originated in the Upper House, owing to its pecu-
niary provisions. Public affairs, of an all-engrossing
i. terest, prevented its receiving, at that period, the
attention it deserved. It is now, however, valuable,
:le containing the sanction of its learned author to
the principle of the projected reform. An authority
of this character, when in favour of an alteration in
the existing state of things—which persons in the
high official stations that his Lordship filled are
slow to advocate—must necessarily carry with it
greet weight. Lord Redesdale proposed the ap-
eointment of a Barrister of considerable standing,
*revery county of England and Wales, to preside
as Judge in Courts that should take cognizance of
certain actions (to be tried by Juries consisting
of six persons), where the sum sought to be re-
covered should not exceed twenty pounds. Mr.
Breughara's Bill goes further; it dispenses with
Juries altogether within a certain amount, making
she Judge's decision final: it adds all actions ex-
cept , such as concern titles to property, and it
seises the amount of the jurisdiction to one hundred
ounds. The experience of the Sheriffs' Court
in Scotland, and of the proceedings by Civil Bill
before the Assistant-barristers in Ireland, shows
that there is no reason why damages for wrongs
should not be recoverable within the prescribed
limit as well as debts. After the authentic state-
ments of the heavy expenses inevitably incurred in
;ill eases: swollen as they are, en many occasions,
to an enormous amount, by the charges of travelling
from long distances, and the protracted detention
nf witnesses in the Assize Towns (and all this fre-
quently incurred for the second time); it is evident
.hat this measure will net remedy the evil, unless
t embraces demands of this magnitude. In fact, a
prudent Mall is deterred from litigaeng a claim under
ibis sum. He is contented to bear his loss, how-
ever strong his ease may be in law and justice, rather
than be subjected to so much cost and trouble.
leis is a state of things too barbarous to be suffered
20 exist in England in the nineteenth century. Per-
haps the greatest benefits from this measure would
be felt in those cases which are now cognizable by
The Courts of Requests and the County Courts.
It too often happens, that, constituted as these tri-
bunals are, ignorance and prejudice occasion injus-
tice, and engender, as the natural consequence, sore
dissatisfaction. The abolition of these Courts,
when replaced by the Superior Court that is con-
templated, would be generally applauded through-
out the country. Mr. Brougham's plan, wherever it
has been understood, has been received with almost
unqualified approbation. The public, from the Speech
from the Throne, at the opening of the Session of
Parliament, had been led to expect an improvement
in the administration of the law. Ministers appeared
thankful to the Learned Gentleman for redeeming
the pledge thus given; for all the valuable sugges-
tions of the Commissioners, and the Bills founded
upon them, would produce no effect that would be
generally beneficial, in comparison with this measure,
and expectation, therefore, would have been disap-
pointed without it. Objections have been urged,
however, on the part of the profession. It is said,
that the perquisites of offices in the disposal of the
Chiefs of the Courts at Westminster, and the profits
of the King's Counsel and other leaders will be
diminished. The lawyers are entitled to be heard
upon the occasion; but if it shall appear that their
opposition arises only from considerations like these,
it is impossible that individual interests can be suf-
fered to stand in the way of the accomplishment of
a great public good. The objection on the score of
the appeal that is to be allowed, is founded on mis-
apprehension. It is only in certain cases that mo-
tions are to be permitted for new trials. These are
to be made before the Judge going the Circuit; and
they are necessarily incidental to all Courts, as
guards against carelessness of error. There is no
ground for the opinion that Barristers, competent to
discharge the duties of local Judges, will not be
found to accept these appointments. It may be
true, that those who, are aiming at the highest
honours and emoluments of the law, would decline
them, but there is not a Sessions bar in the king-
dom where a selection might not readily be made

At a time when we hear loud complaints of the
burden of taxation from one end of the country to
the other, and when the call for economy and re-
trenchment is loud and universal, no officeenot es-
sential to the public service, or the peace end good
order of the country, ought to be maintained. An
economy is ill-judged when any of the essential
ditties of Government are left undischarged from

the withholding the means for remunerating them.
In this country it unfortunately happens that those
things are too often not done which ought to be
done, anti those things done which ought to'be left
undone. One of the most essential of the duties of
Government is unquestionably the administration
of justice. When Mr. Brougham stated that the
expellees of the Courts, which would for the first
time in this country place justice within the reach
of the people, would perhaps amount to 130,000/.,
there were found persons who objected even to the
scheme on the ground of expence. But if the ad-
ministration of justice be objected to on account of
its expence, what are we to think of the keeping up
in Dublin the pageant of a Lord Lieutenant, with
all the mummery of mock royalty, at an enormous
expence ? There is not one good purpose which
can be promoted by the keeping a Viceroy in Dub-
lin. " When Ireland (observed Mr. Hume) pos-
sessed her separate establishments, it was consistent
enough that she should have a Lord Lieutenant,
but since the Union that had ceased to be the case.
The 'War business of that country, the Customs, the
Excise, the Post, the Stamps, had all been removed
to London ; and the Lord Lieutenant, with his Se-
cretary, was therefore remaining behind with no real
business to transact, for of himself he could do no-
thing; he had always to wait for instructions from
the secretary of State in London. It was
true, that the Viceroy held a Court in Dublin, but
he should be glad to know of what importance that
was to the people of Ireland. It might be of some
service to a few little great men who were anxious
to make a great show at the Castle; but, in his
opinion, its real effect was to destroy that natural
society which otherwise would take place in Dub-
lin." A few shopkeepers in Dublin may be bene-
fitted by the expenditure of the Vice-regal Court ;
but there is no earthly reason why the public
should be tixed for the shopkeepers of Dublin any
more than the shopkeepers of the other towns of
the empire. If we depart from the wholesome prin-
ciple of expending public money only for public ob-
jects, there is no extravagance which may not he
justified by the benefit of which it is productive to
some person or other. We may plant Vice-regal
Courts at York, or at Kirkwall, or Orkney, for that
matter. The expence of this useless—nay, mis-
chievous—Vice-regal Establishment, would supply
the people of England with local Courts. " The
expence," observed Mr. Hume, " was between one
and two hundred thousand pounds a year—but, im-
portant as he thought that financial concern, it was
in his estimation quite a minor matter; for he
thought the objections:to the continuance of such an
cffice lay much deeper, for the office of Lord Lieute-
nant and shadow of a Court tended in nothing to
preserve the people from pauperism, but tended to
this—to keep up party spirit, and to excite and
maintain those feelings of rancour and hostility,
which it should be the object of all the friends of
that country and of this to see at an end." Lord
F. L. Gower, in opposing the motion, assumed
the necessity of a resident Governor acquainted
with the local habits and transactions in the
country. But why must there be a local Go-
vernor acquainted with the local habits and
transactions in the country ? The range of moun-
tains between the two great counties of York
and Lancaster form a greater interruption to com-
munication than the narrow sea which divides
England from Ireland. The intercourse between
the two countries is facilitated by the sea which
divides them. No event can take place in any part
of Ireland which will not be known in a (lay or two
in this metropolis. The Government ought to com-
municate directly with its subordinates in Ireland,
in the same manner as with its subordinates in the
different districts of this island. It is not neces-
sary, surely, for the purposes of Government, that
the communications of Ministers should pass through
several channels before reaching those who act on
them. The Lord Lieutenant can at most be a chan-
nel through which Ministers communicate with the
various functionaries of the country. Even if it
were to be assumed, that the Home Secretary of
this country could not communicate directly with
the Governors of counties with advantage (an as-
sumption which no rational man would think of
making), still a mimic Court would not enable the
Lord Lieutenant to discharge the better the func-
tions of head of a certain number of Governors.
There is no earthly connection between communi-
cating with Government and the heads of counties,
and keeping up a court for the sake of the Dublin
shopkeepers. Any nobleman or gentleman, on a
salary of a thousand a-year, with i clerk or two,
could easily discharge all the business for which, even
in this view of the question, a Lord Lieutenant
could be wanted. But even this ,the only reason
urged by Lord Levison Gower for the continuance
of the Lieutenancy, is refuted by the practice of the
Government. Especial care is taken that the Lord
Lieutenant and Irish Secretary should not be ac-
quainted with the local habits and transactions of
the country ; for they are hardly well settled in
Ireland when theirsuccessors are appointed. " Chief
Secretary," said Mr. Spring Rice, " had followed
Chief Secretary, and every one seemed to have
been selected with the view of contrasting him with
his predecessor. Let the House look at the long
list of the Chief Secretaries since the Union, and
ask themselves how it was possible that a perma-
nent system of Government could be carried on in
Ireland. On the average, every Chief Secretary
had remained in office about nineteen months.
Another ground of his objection was, that just as a
Lord Lieutenant had earned a character in Ireland,
and could, therefore, be of some service to it, he
was recalled, and another appointed, who had all
that labour to go through." In fact, the Lord
Lieutenancy is an office so very beneficial to the
holder that no one man is allowed to hold it long.
As soon as the leach is gorged it is taken off and
another applied, which, when gorged in turn, is also
taken off. The Lord Lieutenancy is an admirable
office for may man who loves splendour and loves
tnoney. It is, however, satisfactory to perceive
that a little more credit for discernment is now given
to the public than a few years ago; for though it
would have been little less than high treason to
hist, a few years ago, at the abolition of an office to
which so many looked forward with longing eyes,
the defence last night was any thing but vigorous.
It is an awkward thing for an orator to be haunted
with the consciousness that the illusion necessary
for his object cannot be produced, at least in any
degree of perfection. " Why, you and I, my
dear fellow (says one of the politicians in Paul
Clifford), who know men, and who have lived
all our lives in the world, must laugh be-
hind the scenes at the cant we wrap in tinsel,
and send out to, stalk across the stage. We
know that our Corielanus of Tory integrity
is a corporal kept by a prostitute; and the
Brutus of Whig liberty, is a lackey turned out of
place for stealing the spoons—but we must not tell
this to the world. So, Brandon, you must write
me a speech for the next Sessions—and be sure it
has plenty of general maxims, and concludes with
my ' bleeding country.' " But Statesmen will cease
to give themselves this trouble, when nothing is
gained by it. There can be no question that the
Lieutenancy is a precious jewel in the eyes of the
Aristocracy, and that it will not willingly be aban-
doned, but where pretexts are seen through easily,
it ie, perhaps, prudent to abstain from them. The
man who merely robs you, does slot offend you so
much as the man who both robs you and insults
"sour understanding by an awkward attempt at de-
ceiving you. Mr. Spring Rice observed, " that the
tendency of Dublin was every day more and more
commercial. It was an outwork of Liverpool, to
which it was united by that flying bridge—a steam-
boat. So highly did he think of the value to Ire-
land of steam-boats, that much a :he valued the
Lord Lieutenant of that country, h valued a steam-
boat more than a whole wilderness of Lord Lieute-
nants." It is not easy to get over home thrusts of
this sort. Under all the circumstances of the case,
we view the minority of Mr. Hume something in the
light of a miracle. Who would have believed, three
years ago; that a motion with a view to the aboli-

don of the Vice-Royalty of Ireland would be lost
by a majority of only 229 to 115 ? Had the ex-
pectation of an approaching election anything to do
with the wonderful change of opinion, as evinced by
this vote ?—Morning Chronicle.
A Ministerial Morning Paper put forth the fol-
lowing observations yesterday :—" We are glad to
observe that Sir George Murray fully assents to the
propriety of laying annually before Parliament an
estimate of the colonial expenditure. Without
such a cheek, the confusion would become inextri-
cable, and the extravagance unlimited. Parliament
does not exercise that rigid and vigilant controul
which it ought over the numerous items of foreign
and domestic expense; but if even one Member
of the House does his duty firmly, the public re-
ceives benefit. While, however, there is no esti-
mate furnished, it is impossible to do more than
conjecture the extent of the evil. Let the accounts
appear, and the public. will alone be to blame if
they do not condemn and resist the waste of their
own money." The Journal in which the passage
that we have quoted appeared has been for a con-
siderable time past lavishing its praises on the Mi-
nistry for their patriotic and economical intentions.
It has not been more zealous in uphold;tig the Mi-
nisters as models of virtue and wisdom, than vehe-
ment in decrying those Members of Parliament
who have riot placed such implicit confidence in
their " enlightened policy," as to abandon the post
of Opposition, and leave every thing to the dicta-
tion of their uncontrolled will and pleasure. Now,
that same Journal tells us that " Parliament does
not exercise that rigid and vigilant controul
which it ought over the numerous items 'of
foreign and domestic expense," and that
" even if one Member of the House does his
duty firmly, the public receives benefit." Thus,
after all the panegyric heaped upon the advisers of
the Crown, we learn from the same authority that
gave them premature credit for fulfilling the pre-
mises of retrenchment and economy which they
made to the nation, that it is only on an Opposition
in Parliament the country is to rely for the mid-
gation of its grievous burdens. What, then, is
there no hope of a system of wasteful expenditure
being got rid of by the spontaneous act of a " liberal
and enlightened Govertiment ?" Will they adhere,
with a " desperate fidelity," to what is wrong, until
compelled to do what is right ? Is it necessary to
scare them from evil, and goad them into acts of re-
luctant virtue ? We were told some time ago what
vast advantages were to accrue to the country from
the breaking down of the distinctions of party in
the Government. We were given to understand
that the Administration was henceforth to be con-
ducted on principles purely national—the wise and
good of all parties were to unite, and, instead of the
struggles of conflicting ambition, between Whigs
and Tories, we were only to witness the generous
emulation in patriotic deeds, which was to distin-
guish the policy of men confederated for the salva-
tion of the empire. With such a Government of
course there would be no need of an Opposition.
Any man, or body of men, who would endeavour
to restrain and controul the measures of an Admi-
nistration, whose only object in seeking place was
their country's good, could only be actuated by fac-
tious motives. - Yet, without being much older than
we were, when this magnificent prospect was pointed
out to the people of England, we have lived to hear
the political Prospero, whose magic wand was mainly
instrumental in conjuring up this enchanting scene of
political felicity, lament the want of rigidand effectual
opposition to those august and benign personages
whom he hailed as the quellers of faction—the re-
storers of public confidence—and the dispensers of
the blessings of a new " golden age !" So, after
all, we are doomed never to thrive but by return-
ing to the old system of political warfare—never to
flourish but by dissension. It might, however, have
occurred to those writers who first invested Minis-
ters with every good quality and endowment that
Statesmen ought to possess, and then lectured Par-
liament for not more vigilantly opposing them, that
if the aforesaid Ministers had redeemed the pledges
which they gave•originally to the nation, of carrying
into effect a system of retrenchment and economy,
the organizing of an Opposition in Parliament to re-
mind them of their duty, would have been perfectly
useless—nay, it would have been equally obtrusive
and ungracious for any man or set of men to drive
them to do what they were of themselves anxious to
perform. But, for our own part, when we found
that Ministers were cutting down the little salaries
of hard-working clerks and other underlings of office,
without venturing to touch with the pruning-knife
of retrenchment a single one of the rich salaries or
luxuriant sinecures of the more prosperous occupants
of place or patronage, we lost all faith in their sin-
cerity. It may be said that retrenchment of this na-
ture is surrounded with difficulties—granted; but
they are difficulties which Statesmen, if they had
wisdom, ought to have foreseen, and if they had
energy, ought to have overcome. They should, st
least, have set an example of disinterestedness by
voluntarily surrendering as much of their own sala-
ries as was equivalent to the addition made by the
enhancement of the currency. They have not done
so—nor is it likely that they will ever forego a single
guinea of their pay, until Parliament shall have such
an Opposition as the exigencies of the country de-
mand.—Morning herald.
When the manufactures of the :country, espe-
cially the fancy sort, experienced a slight revive
about the beginning of March, we stated at the
time that faint hopes could be entertained that the
activity would continue to the end of May. Un-
fortunately, however, our calculations have been
anticipated. The outward and visible signs of stag-
nation have appeared sooner than we expected, and
the decline in price, anti the scarcity of employment,
have returned at the beginning instead of the end
of May. From Macclesfield, Manchester, Coventry,
Rochdale, and many other places, come complaints
of reduced wages, and symptoms of that gloom
which but recently universally prevailed. An im-
pending calamity, which is expected to cover the
land with mourning, is said to be the cause
of this temporary gloom and this returning stag-
nation. Be it so. Let us accept the explanation
with all its defects. Let us consider the point to
be settled, and ascribe the evil to the disap-
pointed hopes of the gay and the sorrowing
loyalty of the demure. What then ? Why, by
admitting the cause, we tacitly admit more than our
opponents intend or desire. For we must also ad-
mit, that the resources of the manufacturing popu-
lation are so grievously stinted, or rather so ex-
hausted, that the bare idea of a gentleman appearing
in a black coat, and a lady wearing crape, throws
them into convulsions. The diminished consump-
tion of crimson ribands, even for a fortnight, turns
the one-half of the free-born Britons of Coventry
upon their parishes. Manchester is in a state of
alarm at the thought of their printed and fancy mus-
lins being superseded by black bombazines only for
a few weeks. The machines of Macclesfield stand
still because merino wool is to be in the ascendant
for twenty-one days. In short, the effect is so se-
rious that it would not surprise us to hear of pro-
cessions with the quartern loaf bound in crape, and
an addition made to the number of those beautiful
specimens of the free-trade system—the soup-
kitchens. What a melancholy reflection ! not pro-
duced so much by the event, as by its consequences.
Here is a proud, industrious, and supposed-to-be
wealthy nation, whose artisans are so tax-ridden,
so poor, so resourceless that they dread the inter-
ruption to their business, and the slightest reduction
of wages, even for the shortest Possible space of
time, more than they dread plague, pestilence, and
sudden death. Den it who may, we contend that
this of itself proves the misery that prevails in all
the provinces. This shows the slow and lingering
death with which the labouring population are
struggling, and struggling in vain. Those who
have work during the busiest part of the season,
earn wages barely sufficient to keep body and soul
together. They subsist upon a diet which the poor
slave of the West Indies, for whom they pray, would
scorn to touch,. The education of their children is

Sucaa.—There was a better supply of new Sugars at
Market last week ; and as the Refiners are out of stock,
they purchased freely at full market prices; the estimated
purchases last week were 3,200 hhds. and tierces. The
stock of West India Sugars is now 15,375 lib& and
tierces, being 1,668 more than last year. The stock of
Mauritius, 117,564 bags, being 52,992 mere than in
1829. The deliveries of West India Sugars last week,
2,845 hhds. and tierces, being 216 less than last year.
The deliveries of Mauritius, 12,265 bags, being 7,929
snore than in the corresponding week of last year. This
day the buyers of Sugars were not so eager in purchasing,
owing to the increase in the supplies, and the large parcels
of Mauritius again forced on the market at public sales.
At the close of the day the estimated sales were 900 Wide.
and tierces. There is little alteration to notice in the Re-
fined market; the shipping goods are still scarce, and the
want of adequate supplies prevents the extensive purchases
that otherwise would take place, as the orders in town
yet unexecated are reported to be on a most extensive
scale. The goods are taken off readily as they are brought
forward, at full market prices ; fine Hamburg Powder
Loaves, and Prussian Lumps, are much inquired after.
The orders for crashed cannot be executed. Grocery
goods are also scarce. There is no alteration this after-
noon in refined goods. Molasses rather lower.
Foaaiaw Sucan.—The Brazil Sugar offered last week
at public sale was nearly all taken in ; some white Per-
nams sold by private contract 28s. a 335. a few brown
and yellow 141. a 18s. A parcel of white Havannah was
also taken at the late public sale prices.
EAST INDIA SUOALR.—About 19,000 bags Mauritius
were brought to public sale last week ; nearly the whole
sold ; the brown and low yellow 445. a 491., sold at a
reduction of 6d. to Is. ; all other qualities at full market
prices ; a considerable proportion was taken for export.—
In Bengal and other East India Sugars the transactions
were very limited ; nearly the whole sold with some brisk-
ness and at full prices, except the ord. brown about 445.,
the latter rather lower. At the public sales this day
12,241 bags Mauritius Sugars sold at full market prices.
Comm—The sales of Coffee after Tuesday last week
were inconsiderable, and generally at rather lower prices;
a parcel of good ord. St. Domingo sold at 325. By public
sales this day 542 casks of British Plantation; 354 bags
East India ; nearly all the British Plantation were Ja
maica, Berbice, and Demerara description; of the latter a
great proportion was taken in, the quantity sold went
rather lower, mid. 535. a 565. ; the Jamaica sold a shade
lower, fine mid. 70s. a 7bs., good middling 63e. a 665. :
ord. Cheribon and Sumatra taken in at 31s. Market dull.

MISFORTUNE NECESSARY TO WISDOM...I
Louis XIV. was the only King whom the First COO
really admired. "If," said he one day, " Loma XIV.
had not been born a King, be would have • been a greo
man. He did not know mankind ; he could nut knoll
them, for he never knew misfortune."

A TRIFLING MISTAKIL—The pariah-clerk
