Sir PETER remarked that [here Was some truth in the
representation, and asked whether the sale cf those un-
stamped newspapers was increasing or decreasing, lie
could not learn that any respectable.persons took them in.
There was a time when a publication of this sort, calle.i
the Omni;us, was thrust in every one's face in all the gar
thoroughfar,,,,..;, and the extinction of this led him to con-
clude that if let alone all these cheap newspapers would
share the same fate.

Davis replied that the sale of them in Londr.n was greatly
diminished, because the readers here wero able to detect
that these journals, though dated Sunday, contained no news
later than the Tuesday prccediag. • 'Pais delusion was not
perceived in the country, and the demand was therefore
very great. Above 3,000 copies ivad been seized during the
past week.

committed.

AN EXTRAORDINARY WARD IN CHANCER
Died recently, the cat Blucher, once the favourite petof a _
who at her decease left the sum of 101. per annum to be app
printed to the use of this favoured specimen of the feline race.
In consequence of some litigation occurring between the panic.
interested in the disposal of the lady's property, Blacker 1-,e.
came a ward in Chancery, and the amount of the legacy was
regularly paid by order of the Court to Elizabeth Whittington,.
