burton, sir ? A very hot man he was, sir; we never could
please him in putting on his robe. The stiff high collar
used to rufff his full-bottomed wig; till, one day, he threw
the robe off. in a great passion, and said he would never
wear it again ; and he never did ; and the other gentlemen
soon left off theirs too."— Watson's Life of Dr. Warburton.

RAPIDITY WITH WHICH THE MANUFACTURE
OF COTTON GOODS INCREASED DURING THE LAST
CENTURY.—On the accession of George the Third, in 17 0.
the value of cotton fabrics annually menutactured in Eng-
land was estimated at about. £2oo,ooo—whereas the worth
of the cotton goods prouuc,O by English looms, in 1860,
exceeded £52,000,000. In ,772, British calicoes were made
to the number of 50,000 pieces—in 1816, the number had
grown to 100,600. Su late as the year 1750, the cotton
manufacture employed only 20,000 British workers, a num
ber raised no higher than 80,000 in the first year of the
present century. With the introduction of steam as the
motive power applied to the spindles, began the rapid
growth of production and trade. In 1853 Great Britain
found work for 10,000 steam lonms--end last year she had
in operation 399,992 steam looms, driven with a power of
274,000 horses, and employing 451,600 wot kpeople in 2,887
factories, that contained 30,387,457 spindles.
RIDICULOUS CONFUSION IN THE, dOUSE OF
COMMONS.—The hon, and learned member lot
Westminster (Sir De Lacy Evans), who h s fought many
brilliant battles in Spain, and who invaded the Crimea
without loss of life or limb, mea-ured his full length on the
floor of the House of Commons, the other evening, in a
'very distressing and undignified manner, The hon. and
gallant gentleman was passing in front of the Treasury
Bench, when his spurs got entangled, some way or other,
in the long legs of the Right Hon. F. Peel, the Financial
Secretary to the Treasury, and the result was that he lost
his balance and sprawled over the feet of the whole abinet I
Lord Palmerston most fortunately m.naged to get his legs
out of the way in time, ana escaped disaster, but Mr. Milner
Gibson and the Chancellor of the Exchequer were sadly
spurred, although they good•naturectly picked up the mem-
ber for Westminster and set him upright. Mr. Frederick
Peel rubbed his shins, as well he might—an operation
which occasioned no small amount of amusement to the
occupants of the Treasury Bench opposite. For the future,
it is clear that Sir De Lacy must either abandon the use o
spurs in the House of Commons, or Mr. Frederick Peel
must keep his legs out of the way. The former, we need
scarcely say, is far more easy of accomplishment than the
latter,--Court Journal.
