FRENCH FLIRTATIONS.--If flirtations exist
at Paris, they certainly are not exhibited in public ;
and those between whom they are supposed to be esta-
blished observe a ceremonious decorum towards each
other, well calculated to throw discredit on the supposi-
tion. This appearance of reserve may be termed hy-
pocrisy ; nevertheless, even the semblance of propriety
is advantageous to the interests of society ; and the
entire freedom from those marked attentions, engrossing
conversations, and from that familiarity of manner often
permitted in England, without
.even a thought of evil on
the part of the women who permit these indiscretions,
leaves to Parisian circles an air of greater dignity and,
decorum, although I am not disposed to admit that the
persons who compose them really possess more dignity
or decorum than my compatriots.—Lady Blessington's
Idler in France.

►STEAMERS ON THE NEVA.—A St. Peters-
burgh letter says—" We have now afloat on the Neva
34 steam vessels, of which 15 belong to the Crown, and
the rest to Companies or individuals. These last are,
for the most part, employed as packets between the
capital and Cronstadt, Poterhoff, Oranienbaume, and
Schleysebourg. Besides these there are seven constantly
running between this city, Lubeck, Copenhagen, Havre,
London, and Stockholm."

" INHERITANCE," BY THE AUTHOR OF
" MARRIAGE," AND " DESTINY."—We have here this
admirable tale, in one handsome volume, a most accept-
able addition to Mr. Bentley's " Standard Novels." It
is with infinite relish we have again perused it, and re-
newed our acquaintance with its varied dramatis persona,
the weak and pompous Lord Rossville and the different
branches of his family, the Blacks, with the important
Bell and her Major, the inimitable and almost omni-
present Miss Pratt, old uncle Adam, and his bonnie
Lizzie Lundie, &c., &c. The author has carefully re-
vised this new issue of her most popular work, which
deserves to be widely disseminated for the useful lessons
it inculcates and the truthful portraiture it presents of
character in different spheres of life.—Caledonian Mer-
cury.
RIOT AT AIRDRIE.—Duzing the taking of the
poll, and subsequent to it, on Friday last, the town of
Airdrie was the scene of much confusion and disorder, in-
cluding injury to the person and destruction to property.
After the poll had closed, the mob fell upon the house in
which Mr. Baird's Committee met, smashed the windows
and endeavoured to force an entrance, but fortunately
those inside were enabled to barricade the doors, and the
others who did not choose to stand a siege, escaped by
the backway. In the meantime respectable persons were
knocked down, and severely injured in the street, and
when the rioters could get no more of this class to as-
sault, they knocked down each other. About eight o'clock,
matters wore such a very alarming appearance, that
two Bailies, in the absence of the Provost, concurred
in sending a written report of the state of the
town to the Sheriff, and expressing the belief that
unless the military were sent to their aid, neither life
nor property would be safe. This was despatched by
a messenger on horseback, who at once carried his com-
munication to the Police-office here, when Capt. Miller
immediately proceeded to Fossil, the residence of Sheriff
Alison, having in the interval apprised the commanding
officer at the Cavalry Barracks that his services would
in all likelihood be forthwith required. The Sheriff im-
mediately called out a party of the Lancers, and as they
had been warned beforehand, the men were speedily in
their saddles, and accompanied by Mr. Alison, they
went along at a rapid rate. and reached Airdrie about
midnight. But here, instead of uproar and bloodshed,
the military found all the quiet of a rural village Sab-
bath, and topers and rioters alike at rest. The Bailies
whO had sent for the Sheriff and military were not to be
found, and the police or town guard only knew that a
riot had taken place, but they knew nothing of the
ringleaders. There was neither preparation nor re-
freshment for the military, although they had ridden
ten miles in the dead of night, and after a brief de-
lay, the Sheriff and the Lancers retraced their steps to
Glasgow, with the impression, we believe, that they had
been very scurvily treated by the authorities of Airdrie.

The value of Sight and Hearing can never be
truly estimated but by its loss. Sedentary occupations, close
ap-
plication to business, continual reading and writing, intense study,
the use of bad and improper Spectacles, and Ear Instruments, all
conspire to injure these best of nature's gifts, the Eyesight and
Hearing. It is, indeed, of vital importance that the adoption of
Spectacles to imperfect vision should be regulated on proper prin.
ciples. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39. Albemarle-street, Pic-
cadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street,
City, have devoted their whole lives to this branch of science,
which has enabled them to invent Spectacle Lenses upon a new
construction; immediately they are placed before imperfect vision,
either by day or candlelight, that mist and dulness which a:pear
before the eyes is at once removed, every object becomes clear and
distinct, so that the most aged imperfect sight becomes bright and
brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and original
state. Their Invisible Operative Voice Conductor Sound Magni-
fiers, for deaf persons, is not the least perceptible nor uncomfort-
able; they give immediato relief to old standing, extreme cases of
deafness. Persons can be suited at a distance ; those who have
never made use of Spectacles, by stating the number of inches
they can etc moderate sized print from the eye, and those who are
making use of Spectacles by sending them, and making the snme
statement when in use. The Sound Magnifier Invisible Voice
Conductor and Spectacles are sent, daily, by poet, to various parts
of the country.
