WRITING.

(From the Charivari.)
Readers of the Charivari, dispel your fears ; it is
not my intention to enter into a dissertation on the art
of the physiognomist ; my only purpose is to give a
simple sketch of those observations on which caricaturists
are wont to work. Among them you will find some
that are well known, others that perchance may amuse,
while some will appear futile, false, or incomplete. Take
them, such as they are.
THE STREET.

Like their own bush on Mount Horeb, Israel has
continued in the flames, but unconsumed. They are
the aristocracy of Scripture, reit of their coronets—
princes in degradation. A Babylonian, a Theban, a
Spartan, an Athenian, a Roman, are names known in
history only ; their shadows alone haunt the world and
flicker on its tablets. A Jew walks every street, dwells
in every capital, traverses every exchange, and relieves
the monotony of the nations of the earth. The race has
inherited an heir-loom of immortality, incapable of ex-
tinction or amalgamation. Like streamlets from a com-
mon head, and composed of waters of a peculiar nature,
they have flowed along every stream, without blending
with it, or receiving its colour or its flavour, and tra-
versed the surface of the globe, and the lapse of many
centuries, peculiar, distinct, alone. The Jewish race at
this day is perhaps the most striking seal of the truth of
the sacred oracles. There is no possibility of account.
ing for their perpetual isolation, their depressed but
distinct being, on any grounds save those revealed in
the records of truth. Their aggregate and individual
character is as remarkable as their circumstances.
Meanness the most abject, and pride the most over-
bearing—the degradation of helots, and yet a conscious
and a manifested sense of the dignity of a royal priest-
hood—crouching, cozening, squeezing, grasping on the
exchange, in the shop, in the world, with nothing too
low for them to do, or too dirty, if profitable, for them
to pick up ; and, notwithstanding, in the synagogue,
looking back along many thousand years to an ances-
try, beside which that of our Peers and Princes is but
yesterday ; regarding, justly, Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob as their great progenitors, and pressing forward
on the wings of faith, and hope, and promise to a long-
expected day when they, now Kings and Princes in dis-
guise, shall become so indeed by a manifestation the
most glorious, and in a dispensation the most sublime.
The people are a perpetual miracle—a living echo of
heaven's holy tones, prolonged from generation to gene-
ration. •

The man whose thoughts arc of the future directs his
gaze aloft ; he that is busy with the past looks to the
ground ; the present fills the mind of him whose looks
ate straight before him, while he that thinks of nothing
looks to the right and left ; but if a man cast frequent
glances in the rear, be sure remorseless creditors are
busy with his thoughts. He that walks slowly, reflects,
meditates, or is wrapt in some calculation—be whose
mind is filled with prbjects, strides rapidly along ; he
who runs dreams of some rich legacy, of love, or of
vanity.
A simple dress, slightly neglected, but clean w:thal ;
a gait neither too hasty nor too slow ; a demeanour
without cffe:ninacy, yet not too stiff; mark a reasonable,
good, and cordial man.
The man who trots along, mincing his steps, blinking
his e3es, thrusting forth his head, and wagging his
shoulders, is a chatterbox, a punctilious caviller.
He whose dress is neat, yet stiff, who is constantly
drawing his hand over his hat, dusting his trowsers with
his pocket-handkerchief, rubbing the front of his coat
with his sleeve, is of a minute, susceptible, and waspish
di' position.
He that wears gold chains visible with the naked eye,
cameos, rings, watch•seals, is either a wealthy rustic, a
conjuror, a vendor of specifics, or an Italian Prince.

THE SALUTATION.

The magistrate, tne professor, or the president of a
public office, who, dressed in a sable suit with one hand
thrust in his breast, walks rather stiffly, jerks out his
leg at each step, and whca he bows lifts his hat high
above his head, is not, as is commonly supposed, a man
puffed up with pride ; he is, in general, good and well-
meaning, though rather particular and precise.
Your proud man is not merely the cub that greets
you with a glance or a nod, but is also he that requites
your bow with affectation.
The only occasion on which it is allowable for a clever
man to appear a fool is this :
Two men meet, look, smile at each other, exchange
endless bows, and at every salaam each advances a
step, until, when near enough to shake hands, both at
once inquire and respond, " How do you do ? "
" Pretty well. thank 3ou, how arc you ?" then stand
staring with open mouths. They thought they knew
each other.
The inferior and superior, both conceited, never ex-
change bows, but pass on apparently not seeing one
another. Were you to meet a fool ten times in an hour,
he would bow as many times.
A man of tact, it he meet you at dusk, or in some •
out-of-the-way place, in the company of one lady, will
never bow, oven if you are face to face.
When two men meet who despise each other, both
bow with marked respect and civility, for both fear one
another.
The husband bows to the lover with a patronising
air, the lover returns the bow with a smile, on the same
occasier. : rivals compress their lips, the creditor bows
in confusion, the debtor with levity ; friendship greets
with the hand alone, love with a glance. When two men
have previously seen each other at a funeral, on meeting
again, were it even at a masked ball, they assume a
grave and solemn air.
The man who wears a wig bows but seldom ; the
exercise of the hat always causes him considerable
anxiety.

THE REGISTRATIONS.

MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday Mr. Falconer, the Revising. Bairiecr for
the borough of Marylcbone, proceeded with the lists of
the parish of Paddington, in which there were f. 2
claims, and 185 objections.
Messrs. Ivimey and Allen supported the Reform in-
terest, and Mr. Greenwood and Mr. Rook that of the

Tories.
The only cases of any importance were the following :
Mr. William Hole, late Secretary to the West Mid-
dlesex Insurance Company, claimed as the successive
occupant of the house No. 9, Maida Hill, Paddington,
from 27, Baker-street, Marylebone. It appeared that
he had given up his house in Baker-street in Michael-
mas last, but had previously taken the one in Padding-
ton, which, having to undergo certain alterations and
repairs, was not put into rate until the April of the
present year. On the day previous, when Mr. Hole
attended the Court to prove the payment of his rates as
regarded Marylebone, he stated that he had paid an
empty rate for his house in Paddington ; but the col-
lector of the latter parish contradicted him, asserting
that the empty rate was paid by him on account of a
previous tenant.
Mr. Ivimey, on the part of the Reformers, resisted
the claim, and argued that inasmuch as the claimant
left the parish of Marylebone at Michaelmas, and had
not come into rating in Paddington until so long after,
there must have been a lapse in the rating between the
successive occupation of the two houses, and therefore
the claim was rot a valid one. If it was a bona fide
successive occupation the claimant was not on the rate,
and he ought to have been so, properly to have com-
plied with the provisions of the Reform Act.
Mr. Greenwood said he was not required to pay any
rate at all, inasmuch as the vestry of Paddington had
not thought fit to rate him, conceiving that his house,
although occupied, was not in a proper condition to be-
come rateable.
Mr..FALCONEIt said the difficulty was this. If the
claimant had made out a case of sufficient occupation,
then, under the provisions of the Reform Act, he was
clearly liable for the rate due during the entire period of
such occupation ; if, on the contrary, there was not a
sufficient occupation, lie was not entitled to be on the

TIIE HAT.
The shape of the hat, and the mode in which it is
worn, give considerable insight into the heart and mind.
He that cocks his hat on one car is a poltroon as-
suming an air of bravery.
He that wears it off his forehead is a Baby.
He that wears it slouched over his eyes, and raised
up behind, is a railer.
He that rams it down perpendicularly over his brows
is a blunt ill-natured fellow.
He that walks with it :n his hand is a coxcomb.
The man who has always a bran new shiny hat pos-
sesses the spirit of order ; he is a man of method.
He that wears a peaked hat with a large brim and a
broad riband—in a word, he that wears a hat such as -
they are never worn—is a falsc•minded and conceited
mannerist.

GENERAL REMARKS.

register.
Mr. Greenwood said the claimant had his servant in
the house before entering it himself, and two rooms
were occupied by a portion of his furniture.
Mr. FALCONER said it was evident that there was
some imperfection in the mode adopted in the rating of
the claimant, which clearly proved that the provisions
of the Reform Act bad not been complied with, be
therefore could not admit the claim.—Claim disallowed.
Charles Fozard was objected to in respect of a house,
No. 32, Cuthbert-street, by the Conservatives, upon the
ground that he was not qualified within the meaning of
the Act.
Fozard, it appeared, tenanted a house which was
farmed with others in composition, the landlord paying
the rates.
Mr. Greenwood said that this was no qualification, as
the person was not upon the rate-book.
In answer to questions put by Mr. Falconer, the

''Collector stated Fozard was on the ratebook as occupier,
but not as the ratepayer. He had made application to
'be rated two years since, the' landlord, ' Mr. Green, also
agreeing. No rates were due in respect of the premises.
Mr. FALCONER observed that a tenant was clearly
entitled, although the house might be is composition, to
vote, and he should therefore disallow the objection.
Objections were then taken to three other persons
similarly situated, upon the ground that although the
landlord had requested their names might be put upon
the rate, there was no proof, as in the case of Fozard,
that it was with the consent of the tenant. They were
adjourned in order that proof upon this point might be
adduced.
The Court then proceeded with the correction of the
lists, and adjourned at two o'clock until this day, when
the revision of the Marylebonc list will be resumed.
The following, with respect to the parish of Padding-
ton, is the result of the day's proceedings :
Liberal objections ... 43 Allowed 33 Failed 10
Tory ditto
Objections by both parties 3B Allowed 38 Failed 0

BLE ACCOUCHEMENS.

EAST SURREY.
The barristers appointed to revise the lists of voters
for the Eistcrn Division • of the county of Surrey.
Edward Bullock, Esq., and Sir Walter B. Riddell,
held their Courts yesterday, at the Town Han, South-
wark, for the purpose of revising the lists of voters in
the parishes ,of St. Mary Bermondsey, St. Mary.
Rotherhithe, St. John, St. George the Martyr, St
Olave, St. Saviour, and St. Thomas, with the Liberty
of the Clink.
Messrs. 11:91Ier and Corur appeared on behalf of
the Liberals, and Air. Edward Meymott and Mr.
Robert J. Crosse were i;:r the Conservatives.
(Before Mr. I3ur,LocK.)

ST. MARY BERMONDSEY.
In the list of voters for this parish the name of Mr.
Vousley was objected to, who claimed to be registered
in consequence of his having redeemed the land tax
of a public-house, in the parish known as " Simon the
Tanner of Joppa."
In support of the objection Mr. E. Meymott sub-
mitted that the qualification sought to be established by
Mr. Vousley was not a freehold, but merely a chattel,
added to which it bad been already decided that the
redemption of the land tax was only personal property,
and therefore could not give the franchise.
Mr. Corner contended that under the 42d of George
111., became redemption of land-tax by a stranger to the
tate a fee-farm Trent, and entitled the owner to
es
the franchise.
Mr. BULLOCK, after consulting with Sir W. B. Rid-
dell, decided the claim to be good, and returned the
name of Mr. Vousley in the list.
In this lisfno objections were taken by thverseße
ers, adicalall

The lists of the parishes of St. John, Horsleydown,
St. Olave, and St. Saviour's, came on for revision before
Sir W. B. RIDDELL, but in none of them did any ease
occur possessing any point either of interest or novelty.
The lists for the parishes of St. Mary, Lambeth, oi
Clapham and Streatham, were appointed for revision to-
morrow (this day, in which there arc no less than 150
objections.

The man who is ever laughing is a fool, but he that
never laughs is a blockhead.
The busy man looks, but sees not ; the idler sees
without looking ; the lounger both sees and looks.
A quick walker either does not lounge, or knows not
how. The same may be said of him that yawns in
the street, or 'that passes a pretty woman and looks not,
or passes before a showy shop-front or a mountebank's
booth without stopping. A fool takes a walk and never
t lounges.
A stupid than lounges sometimes, a man of
,
talent often.
The true lounger continues in one direction until a car-
riage pass Wore him, or he encounter some interrup-
tkn ; a crowded shop-window at the corner of a
street, a shove, a blow from the elbow of a passer-by,
are capable of changing his course. From accident to
accident, from encounter to encounter, lie comes, be
goes, he returns, and finds himself either very far
from, or very near, his homa, as chance may have
willed.
Ono may lounge away from home, in a public place,
alone or in company with one other lounger. He that
thinks to lounge in his own house is mistaken—he
muses.

Some people are astounded at the " energetic for
bearance which the citizen Chateau manifests with re
Bard to the Quadruple Treaty. It is all by reason o
the Chateau believing that it has an abundance of com
pensation. Let us explain ourselves.
Undoubtedly, in all that relates to European politics
foreign Courts appear to consider the Court of the
Tuileries, as, having no manner of existence, as an ab-
sts action and a mere chimera. They protocolise with-
out troubling themselves more about it than about San-
cho's Court at Barataria. They grow big,, and bring
forth the most important treaties without deigning to in-
vite its concurrence. We freely admit that this
disdain, this passing us by as an "unconsidered trifle,"
is in some small degree humiliating, but still there is
a compensation, a magnificent compensation. It
consists in this—that if foreign Courts do not
condescend to notify to the Tuileries their Euro-
pean treaties, en revanche, they continue without inter-
mission to inform us with the utmost regularity
of the birth of the several dolls and dollies which Pro-
vidence sends them. It is true that the citizen Court
is not kept au courant of the result of questions big
with events ; but a Princess, a Duchess, a Margravin-
ninny puts nothing forth to see the light without our
Chateau being duly informed thereupon. The Chateau
knew nothing whatever until after the event, of what
was about to be done in the Eastern question ; but it
doingad n and

reign politics remain a closed book for the Chateau,
foreign breasts of milk are at least no secret.
Never have these glorious notifications of new births
been more frequent than for some time past. It would
seem that the Princesses of Europe have determined
on " multiplying" with the greatest possible fecundity,
in order to compenuce our 9th of August fcr its quad-
ruple humiliations in points of policy, and maintain the
rank which is its due in the accouchemcns of Europe.
Not a day passes without the Moniteur registering
with a triumphant air, some august little billet of birth.
The day before yesterday it was the Prince of Orange ;
to-day it is the Duke of Baden, who notifies the advent
of a little Dukeaninny, of whom he has graciously
deigned:to be the father, in favour of the Padois people.
How
,unimportant is the exclusion of France from the
quadruple treaty in comparison with her participation in
these rejoicing on " the straw ?" The East grows pale
in presence of the pap-spoon!
What can, in truth, be more glorious for a Court or
a Kingdom than these nascent notifications? It is
