LEITH.---TAKING THE CENSCS.—In seceral
of the localities in a town like Leith, it was expected
that (onsiderable opposition would be offered to the
man( raters in taking up the census. This has turned
out the reverse ; every facility, as far as we observed, or
have learned, has been given, although some strange
notions were entertained as to the meaning or object of
the returns. "F.h ! sir," exclaimed a douce-loolting
David Deans, " what did David mak' by numbering the
people ?—and didna :re bring the cholera on us the
last time it was done among ourselves ?" "'Phis will
be some of the Queen's nonsense, nae," said an
old woman, herself well numbered in years ; "
thought that, now that she has got a bairn to nurse, she
wad hae had something else to do than read ower folks'
names wi' their ages ! but seine folk has an unco deal o'
curiosity !" "Is this about the Corn Bill ?" inquired a
third ; "if it will only gie us cheap meal, I'se no only
gie my ain name and ay, but that o' my cousin and a'
her family that's awn to One Demon's Land, as weil as
that o' our Jock that's awn to the West Ingies ! ' "An-
other," unconscious of the pun, " declared that this po-
pulation .business was enough to put folk out 0'
their senses !" It will naturally be supposed
that unmarried females of a certain age would
wish to take advantage of the " five years'" dis-
count allowed—but human nature is the same at all
stages of life—many a wrinkled dame appeared not only
pleased to be supposed younger than she really was, but
actually pigged a few years under ' • as if the fact of
being put down so would cheat the fell tyrant, that in a
few years, at most, will number them with the clods of
the valley. Poor frail huManity ! It is pardonable
after all to sometimes not look the enemy in the face ;
for no one, as Charles Lamb says, likes to dwell much
upon the time when they shall be no more.

Oh ! this were a bright world,
Most pkasant and gay,
Did love never languish,
Nor friendship decay.

—Scotsman.
HOME CIRCUIT.—The Learned Judges Lord
Chief Justice indal and Mr. -Justice Bosanquet, have
appointed the following days for disposing of the busie
ness of the Home Circuit. The Commission will be
opened on Wednesday, July 14, at Hertford, on Monday,
July 19, at Chelmsford, on Monday, July 26, at Maid-
stone, on Monday, August 2, at Lewes, and on Monday,
August 9, at Croydon. The business of the Circuit is
unusually light.
NOVEL EXCUSE.—Upon the names of the
Petty Jurors being called over at the Central Criminal
Court yesterday, one individual claimed an exemption
from serving on the ground that he was a baker. The
Recorder said he was not aware of any Act of Parlia-
ment under which he could claim the exemption. The
applicant said that bakers were exempt by a Charter of
Queen Elizabeth. The Recorder requested him to pro-
duce the charter, and as he was unable to do so, lie was
ordered, amid the laughter of the Court, to take his seat
in the bar with the rest of the Jury.
PRESTON ELECTION.—No doubt any longer
remains as to a second candidate on the Reform interest
in this borough. Sir George Strickland, Bart., M.P.,
has signified Iris intention to stand for Preston.
BAD LAW.—II is strictly demonstrable that
the causes which have continually crushed tile energies
of industry have been legislation. The sacrifice of
human labour entailed upon this country by the corn and
colonial monopolies, and on restrictive commercial law,
amount to nearly one-third of the value of all the ex-
changeable commodities produced annually in the United
Kingdom. Remember that more than 1,200,000,0001. of
the produce of this country went to purchase human
betes to fertilize the soil of Europe during the conti-
nental war ; and though the actual amount was never
paid, three-fourths of it was poeitively consumed—and•
posterity has been made debtors for the remainder.—
Paulton's Lectures.
COMPETITION.—Human labour has
not a fair chance. The iron machine has its food—coal
and water—produced on the spot, untaxed as cheap as
nature can give it. The flesh and blood machine has to
be supported by food 40 per cent. higher in price than
nature !elves it. No wonder -that machinery should sup-
plant hand labour, and that the poor hand loom weaver
should be competing at such terrible odds.—Alarm.
The Tories have taken a mortgage of eight
hundred millions on the national estate--have applied it
to themselves ; nod now they blame the Whigs for fail-
ing to meet the Is hole interest of " the Debt." They
blame their opponents for not paying debts which they
did not incur. However a country may be blinded for
a moment by the specious display of liberality, and scat-
tering, of plundered wealth. on the part of the Tories,
there would soon be a reaction when in office, and the
dupe of to-day world become to-morrow's enraged anta-
gonist. They were fairly driven from office in 1830—
from no other cause than national dislike of the party.
The same is to be said of 1835—and the same would
happen, if required, in 1842. Never will the Tories be-
come a popular party In England ! They understand,
this, and seek a foundation in the " Conservative princi-
ples" of strong enough abuses and aristocratical in-
fluence. Bribery is, with them, a weapon suited to their
necessities in these times of popular agitation. They
were first driven from office, after having begun to
amend and reform : they were driven a second time un-
der large promises of " doing gockl ;" and, promise what
they may, they will be driven a third time, if they again
take place.—Durham Chronicle:
NOVEL RECIPE.—It was stated at a late meet.
ing bete that one of our publicans, suffering from excessive
drinking, called on the doctor. The doctor ordered him
gravely not to drink more than two bottles of gin a day ; that
he should put a bean into them every morning, and if he
always used the same bottles, would certainly 'recover when
they were full of beans, The publican acted accordingly and
was restored—Suffolk Chronicle.
IRISHMEN IN CHINA.—ADMIRAL QUAN.—
Another Irishman—a Lear relation of Mr. Quan, of
Marlborough-green, coachmaker—has fallen under the
British fire. 'We regret to see Irishmen in foreign ser-
vice ; but it will be great consolation to his relations here,
that the Chinese Admiral died on the field (..7 waters ?)
of glory, and that his obsequies were saluted by twenty-
one guns from her Majesty's vessels of war. We should
mention that the -British interpreters have made a strange
mistake in spelling the name Ktvan, whereas it should
be as we have written it, Quan ; but as the Chinese have
no letters, but write in a certain phonetic character, we
are not. so much surprised at the mistake, and particularly
as the letters in either combination are omophenous. It
is not a little remarkable that Quan has been succeeded
by Quin—a blood relation, we understand, of Lord Dur,-

t week we made allusion, in
condemnatory terms, of the practice adopted by the
for the free distribution of intoxicating liquors.
For several days during* the end of fast week,
scenes of the roost revolting description were wit-

wit-
nessed. It was impossible to contemplate without pain
the sad corollary of demoralization and domestic
distress, which must inevitably attend this state of things.
Many men of weak principle, but of comparatively in-
diatrions habits, were seduced front their ordinary
avocations, and precipitated into the slough of in-
toxication. The father (and in one instance the
mother), and the son, the husband, too, of a nu-
merous family, were seen rolling from the cesspools
of immorality, in a state of the most abect physical
anOeenental prostration. One individual was seen
in -t'ee\ act of haw wheeled to his hou.e in a barrow by
sonic humane friend, while others, less fortunate. but in
a similar state of drunkenness, might have been found
stretched like unanimated lumps of clay, in several dif-
ferent alleys, within these few days. However, a check
has been put upon the recurrence of these loathsome
spectacles, through the interference of several respect-
aole inhabitants. It is gratifying to state that the sub-
stantial portion of the working men in the burgh stood
