TITE OLD COPPER COINAGE.—About 20 tons of
the old copper money has been sent from Manchester by
Mr. J. Robinson, Smithy Door. It is believed that the
amount of the old copper in this city was 60 tons ; and as
the Mint authorities are desirous of obtaining it as early as
possible, it would be well if persons in the receipt of large
sums of copper would reserve the old coinage, and change
it as expeditiously as they can.

Mr. GORILLA IN LIVERPOOL.—SeveraI specimens
of gorillas, one of which, it would_uppOir, is the largest
which has yet been seen in this country, have arrived in
Liverpool, under the care of Mr: ILI 8.-117alker, a gentle-
man who, it will -be remembered, attacked Du Chaillu's
work on the Gorilla. The femur, or thigh-bone of the
largest of Mr. Walker's specimens is 16i inches in length,
being 2 inches longer that, the femur of the largest skeleton
in the British Museum, and very much larger than M. D
Chaillu's. This monster, when alive, must have measured
6 feet in height. Mr. Walker has presented his largest
specimen, together with the skull and principal hones of a
smaller one, to the Liverpool Free Public Museum.

From the Lindsay Post the learn that a whirl-
wind, causing considerable damage, visited that neighbour-
hood on Friday, the 2d inst. Houses, barns, and fences
were blown down by the fury of the storm. The trees were
uprooted and cast about as so many reeds, the branches
being broken off and drawn into the air to the height of at
least 600 feet. Ono man had the half of hie house tarried
away, his burn torn to pieces and everything connected with
it destroyed. His waggon, which was loaded with wood kt
the time, was raised in the air, carried to a great dietanee,
and then dashed in pieces to the ground.

LIFE.—At best life is not very long. A few
more smiles, a few more tears, some pleasure, much pain,
sunshine and song, clouds and darkness, hasty greetings,
abrupt farewells—then our little play will close, and in-
jured and injurer will pass away. Is it worth while to hate
each other.

Private and Landlord, to his Sergeant and Tenant
(aside). "Look here, Mr. Slangham, if you come down
upon me so sharp at drill, I'll, —bloomed if I don't raise
your rent I"—Punch.

To A CORRESPONDENT.—Quiz—Buy a Johnson's
Dictionary. Punch adheres to the word " assimulate,"
but liberally presents you with the first three letters.—

CHE SARA, SARA.—The best excuse for Miss
Sairey Todd is in an allegation by a writer in the Fists
that she was formerly a Laundry-maid, as probably she
thought that a carriage-horse had no more feeling than b,
clothes-horse.—Punch.
THE CHARING CROSS RAILWAY FROM ST.
THOMAS'S HOSPITAL.--Yeaterday a large number of
houses lying between St. Thomas's Hospital and the South-
wark-bridge-road were sold by auction by Mr. Marsh,
which are to be removed for the construction of the line to
communicate with the branch line passing over the Water-
loo-road

which passes over the new street between the Borough and
the Westminster-bridge-road, along which some hundred*
of men are at work in constructing the arches.
CLEAN CATS. -_The roughness of the cat's tongue
is due to a multitude of 'horny papilla] (much stronger, of
course, in lions and tigers), by which it is materially helped
to keep itself clean : a most important point, for cleanness
is a necessity to cats inasmuch as if they had the slightest
smell about them, their prey would detest their presence,
and never come within their reach. As it is, the cat is so
free from smell, that she may sit close to the holes of mice
without their being aware of it, although they possess at
fine sense of smell. A cat never eats a morsel of anything,
whatever it is, without afterwards sitting down to clean,
and wipe its face and lips. This caution for which it is SQ
remarkable is likewise evinced in its choice of se.
eluded spots for bringing up its offspring; very often some
hole or corner very little thought of by the inmates of the
house ; if the young be removed and placed elsewhere, the
mother will frequently take them again and again to the
place chosen by herself.—Dickens's All the Year
, Round."

EXTRAORDINARY GALLANTRY OF FRENCH HUB'
BANDS.—A French manager has hit upon a beautiful ex-
pedient for filling his theatre; which was formerly not
patronised at all. He has advertised that ladies shall b:
admitted at half-price, the children at quarter price* and
babies for nothing I The consequence is, that the wives
force their husbands to take them. All the cafes end e"-
minets in the town are quite deserted.—Plinth,
THE TUNNEL-BORING MACHINERY AT MONT
ght, and now
CENIS.—The principle of the machinery for boring is en
tremely simple. The machinery consists of two essential
for ad,.
parts - one the apparatus for driving the cutting tool into,
the rock and withdrawing it, so that the blow may to rem
peated while at the same time it is made to take a whole
ttouwmardosn
the
es
l:fxt7,aniidowthetoowtharedrs,
the
oemraiehinery
vancing the bed on which the cut'ing tool rests as the
work goes on, so that the auger or borer may constantly
advance as the hole is being bored, and may be kept well
up
to the surface it has to operate upon. Beth portions
a this machine are worked by means
of
compre -sed air.
When the holes are bored the machine
is drawn back
upon the rails to a distance of about 50
wooden doors are then shut to yards; great
prevent the blasting from
doing an injury to the machinery; and the holes are filled
with powder, the English fuse being used to ignite it. The
blasting takes place twice in the twenty-four hours ; the
removed the 50 yards
in ten minutes. It and returned to its place
requires a long time to get rid of the
foul gases prodiced b
great work is by the explosion
.9f the powder. The
now
time• assured, and it is only a question of
, the machinery is so perfect that everY ything goes
like clockwork ; and the eat desideratum of makinggking a
long tunnel without shafts having been obtained, there
need now be no further doubt about the success of such
undertakings ; and the Lukmanier and St. Gothard Tun-
inels will, there is no doubt, shortly be commenced.—
