A Provincial Paper makes the following hu-
morous calculation of the questions likely to arise during
the visits of the officers appointed to make up the popula-
tion returns :—" Are all these children your own ?" say,,
the censor to one. " They are all my wife's, gentlemen,"
answers the good man of the house. " How many chil-
dren have you more than twenty, ma'am ?" says the new
official to the mother of a large family. " La! Sir," re-
plies she, quite amazed at the question, " I've only fifteen,
besides three that arc dead." "So ! you have only a
single set vant then ?" to another. "We have only one,
Sir, but she's net single ; she's married." "Do you keep
a man in the house ?" to a father who has a daughter in
love against his consent. " No, Sir ; but I wish I could
keep one out of it." " Are you the master of this house?"
to a hen.pecked husband. " No, Sir," replies he, " I'm
only the landlord, my wife's the master."

MEETING OF THE NIETROPOLITAN
CHARITY CHILDREN-(THIS DAY).

This morning the annual meeting of the cliar;tl
children belonging to the Metropolitan Churches wit-.
held at St. Paul's Cithedral. The attendance was ex-
ceedingly numerous, it being calculated that between
8,000 and 9,000 children were present. The appearance
of the interior of St. Paul's was exceedingly grand. The
attendance of a large company of fashionably dressui
ladies, added to the interesting view presen'ed by the a,-
sembling of so many children, all dressed in neat clothing,
giving ample proof of the extensive support rendered for
the maintenance of poor children. The Lord Mayor ar-
rived in state about twelve o'clock. The Sheriffs and
many persons of distinction were present.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY.

EX-FARTE HORNBV AND OTHERS, IN THE MATTER OF
JOHN TARLETON, A BANKRUPT.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on the part of the bank-
rupt, was instructed to apply for an early hearing of the
petition before the Court in this matter, presented by the
assignees for the purp tse of restraining proceedings at law,
to try the validity of the commission which was issued so
long ago as 1815 against the bankrupt, at a time when he
was abroad, and possessed of very large property. The
matter involves questions of great importance. After a
shot conversation between the Learned Counsel and Sir
E. Sugden (on the other side), it was agreed, au I after-
wards ordered, that the petition should he put at the head
of the bankrupt paper, to come on after the present term.
