1:-The. following fine,,,treit, hu manitriyi
%too from k,4:oitstiptiennel of the 20th'ilt:

Jarlues,-in order to. expresc to him.- his profound gratitude.--
When he came away it was observed that his whole wardrobe
had undergone a complete metarsiorphosis, and that the noble
philanthropist had completed his ,•good work by placing the
child of distress in a CO/14itiP11 to brave the rigour of the severe
winter. " Vtre sari the French Editor, "put this
fine action on record, because it is so truly honourable to the 0
French youth, who at the present day are too frequently made
objects of the most vile calumny."
iix•Att, HEAR !—The eitclamation, " Hear,
Hear, Hear I" in the House of Commons, so often mentioned.
in the reports of speeches in the newspapers, surprised me much,
the effect being quite difilrent from what I expected. A modest,
genteel, " Hear, Hear !" id first heard from one or two voices
—others join—more and more crescendo—till at last a wild, tu-
multuous, and discordant noise pervades the whole House,
_re.
sembling very nearly that of a flock of frightened geese; rising
and falling, ending and beginning again, as the orator happens
to say any thing rernarkable.—(Journalofa French Traveller.)
POKE BONNETS.--All, Oose poke bonnets
so delightful when they prevent the surveillance of Mamma:l—
-se detestable when they impede the operation of "love's artil-
lery" on the daughters. For my ewn part, I have often wished
that the young ladies would adopt the modern improvement in
cabriolets, and have windows in. The sides of these enormous
pokes, with which they preserve their complexions, though they
lose their hearts, as I am couvinced such an alteration would tend
greatly to the convenience'hoth of themselves and others; a
greater improvement would be; the abolition of them altoge-
ther from those faces whick.streworth looking at. For many
a sly glance might be given acid received unbetrayed, were
it not for the enormous egolution which the slightest
movement of the head within: produces upon the external
circumference of these prodigious projectile roots—an evo-
lution which can never be performed without attracting
the attention of mamma,- whose poke immediately turns in the
same direction, and whose rubicund visage becoming inflamed
with anger, as she intercepts the ardent glance that was intended
for her daughter, appeeri to the affrighted beau, from the depth
of her black beaver, tied , close under the chin, like a red-hot
ball, glowing at the bottom of S four-and-twenty pounder.—

PAIN IN TILE EAR.—A.violent pain in the ear'
has for some time .been prevalent, and pudica-
larly amongst children, _extending like an epe,
deride through entire. families. The most effec-
tual remedy yet discovered :has been a small clove
of garlic, steeped for 'a. Ow minutes in warm
salad oil, and put Iraq: the ear rolled up its
muslin or thin In some time the garlic is
reduced to a pulp:; and having accomplished its
object; should he repiaced, with cotton to prevent
the patient taking cold,
STRONG 11.EAnto—That there is no general rule
with Out its exceptiokri,kinaxim, to the truth of
which daily iiperieneir rbears testimony ; and
however n ppropriatelrtitay be in general accep-
tation to call the fitie,the'*euker vessels, our city
(York) on Monday week. presented a proof of
strength in the upper
..Woiks of two fair travel-
lers, which will 'defy competition from the male
devotees of Sir John Barleycorn, and the " spirit-
stirring howl," even though he should muster
all the " free and easys" ijtuate, lying, and be-
ing within the walls of our most ancient city.—
At three o'clock in the afternoon of the above
mentioned day, these heroines of the flowing can
called ara public-house in this city, and by five
o'clock had discussed severcquarts of ale; the first
three quarts proved too weak, and in order to im-
prove the strength of
,the remaining 4; one noggin
of rum was added to each of them. After the
ladies had enjoyed this moderate wet, they arose
and went on their way, to all appearance having
taken no more than they, could comfortably and
steadily carry.—( York.lhver.)
SHOCKING OCCURREN'it.—On Sunday after-
nOon.a large congregation of that sect, commonly.
called Ranters,w were assembled for divine worshiA
in the City of N,orwichAmblic-house, when the
floor gave way, and they; were all precipitated
into the cellar. The %eerie which presented itself
was one of dreadful confUsiou : the cries of those
who were injured were distressing in the extreme. .
Assistance being obtained', they were, with con-
siderable difficulty, extrirtited, and it was found
that a child had been killed, one poor woman had
butts thighs broken, nitro, or ten more had sus.,
stained fractures, anti mti:tiy were otherwise in-
jured. They were convoyed to the hospital ins-
thediutely.—(Norfolk Paper)
On Monday afternoon', ihmunediately after
the close of the Police court, and just before
the removal of those persons to Bridewell who
had beets convicted in the, early part of the day,
six lads, who had received sentence tn: be con-
fined hi the Manse of Correction, coin peed to
snake their escape out, of the Police Office.
These boys had clambered up the wall which
divides the males from The females, and which
is about eighteen feet highs ; they then made
a hole in a thin brick wall, and thereby got into
what is called " the lumber room," where they
found the shovel, which they used as a lever to.
