BROTHER JONATHAN.—Another book upon
America, by that very popular writer, Mrs. Trollope, is an-
nounced by Mr. Bentley, under the title of " The Life and
Adventures of Jonathan Jefferson Whitelaw." It is understood
that it will present us with sketches of American life in all its
aspects, from the log-house to the Congress, with abundance
of piquant dialogue and, anecdote.
MASS CELEBRATED IN ENGLISH.—.On June 5,
the ceremony of the Mass in the vernacular tongue was cele-
brated at Birr, by Mr. Crotty, the Catholic priest. The
people were highly edified and delighted.
We direct the attention of all interested in the Tim-
ber trade to the advertisement of the Anti-dry Rot Company,
inserted in another part of The Sun. A process by which the
inferior timber of Canada can be made as durable as Baltic
timber, cannot be too highly extolled by a commercial people.
Builders, more especially, ought to adopt this remedy against
the decay which all our new streets so soon exhibit, if for any
time untenanted, in consequence of the badness of the wood
employed in roofing them.
The Earl of Beauchamp has made some very exten-
sive purchases of lands lately in Worcestershire, and is now
one of the greatest landowners in that county.
A report has been circulated in Exeter during the
early part of the week, to the effect that Sir W. Follett was
about to resign his post as representative, on account of ill
health. We have heard that Lord Courtenay is to be the
candidate.— Western Times.
REPRESENTATION OF MERIONETHSHIRE.—
Every shifting of the scene in what must be termed par cour-
tesy, the politics of the county of Merioneth, only further de-
velopes the farce that is being enacted there. It is the free-
dom of election travestied ; a constitutional appeal burles-
qued. The late representative—for we understand that Sir
R. Vaughan has at length " taken measures to vacate his seat
in Parliament,"—has not only essayed a plot, but also a coun-
terplot ; the first to blind the freeholders, and the last his own
clique of apparently-trusted confidants ; and then, with all the
coolness imaginable, he gives both the go-bye when it suits
his good will and pleasure. He first tells the " gentry, clergy,
and freeholders, he is ready to resign at their earliest conve-
nience." Almost contemporaneously with this declaration
comes out Mr. Richards, as his nominee, to succeed him. Sir
W. Wynn, the Reforming candidate for the representation of
Merionethshire, arrived at Dolgelly on Saturday.—Carnarvon
Herald.
THE CHINA TRADE.—Yesterday a meeting of
the merchants and others connected with the importation of
tea from China, was held at the City of London Tavern,o for
the purpose of receiving a report from those members of the
East India and China Association who have had interviews
with Government for the purpose of obtaining, if possible, an
extension of the period fixed for the payment of the present
duty upon Bohea teas. Among the gentlemen present were
Mr. Horsley Palmer, Mr. Larpent, Mr. Bates, M . W. J.
Thompson, Mr. Norton, Mr. Weeding,_ Mr. Sanderson, Mr.
G. G. de H.
Twining, and others interested. Mr. Larpent
took the chair. The meeting was successively addressed by
the gentlemen above-named; and the business of the day con-
cluded by Mr. Palmer moving the appointment of a committee
of twelve gentlemen, for the purpose of considering the best
House of Commons. Mr. Bates seconded means for bringing the question beforeded atheCro
