AN OULD AND DANGEROUS AMERICAN.
((From the New York Mercury.)
There is a terrible fellow somewhere " down east,"
who ought not to be permitted to run loose. Ho threatens
to play strange pranks, and break things, all in conse-
quence of his faithless " gal." His first threat is,
I'll grasp the loud thunder,
With lightningu I'll play,
I'll rend the earth asunder
Ana' kick it away.
That's attemp;ir,g censidersble for one man. However,
if he has a mind to take the responaitity and pay da-
rnegns, let him smash away; we are not afear'd. He
nest sap,
The reinbow I'll straddle
And ride to the moon,
Or in the ocean I'll paddle
In the bowl of a spoon.
That won't hurt anybody. Go a-head, old chap—we
like to encourage laudable spirit of adventure.
1,11 set fire to the fountain,
And swallow up the ril;;
I'll eat up the mountain
And be hungry still.
Goodness gracious! is there no way to appease his
wrath and stay his stomach? Must we suffer all this
because be and his girl haven't anything to say to each
other at present? No—never! Down with him—dovn
with him!

The rain shall fall upwards,
The smoke tumble down ;
I'll dye the grass purple,
And paint the sky brown.
Hear that! A pretty world this would be, truly, with
the rain falling up, the smoke tumbling down, the grass
dyed purple, and the sky pai►,ted brown! We might as
well live in an old boot, with a dirty sole for the earth
beneath, and brown upper leather for the heavens above.
The sun I'll put out,
With the whirlwinds play;
Turn day into night,
And sleeps it away.
There is no doubt, if he cuts that caper, the sun will
feel as much " put out " about it as we shall. We leave
it to the whirlwinds to say whether they are to be
trifled with or not; and as for his turning day inw
night, and sleeping it away, we would as lief he would
as not—if he can do it.
I'll flog the young Earthquake,
The weather physic;
Volcanoes strangle,
Or choke with the phthisic.
Oh, oh! he dare not clinch in with an old be earthquake,
and so he threatens to flog a " young tin" of the neuter
gender! Coward! why don't he taae one of his own size!
The moon I will saiother,
With nightmare and wo; •
For sport at each other
The stars I will throw.
Serves e'm exactly right! they have no business to be
out when they ought to be a-bed.
The rocks shall be prei.chers,
The trees do the singing;
The clouds shall be teachers,
And the comets go spreeing.
That's all well enough, except getting the comets upon
a spree. We don't like that "'eratty well."
tie up the winds
In a bundle together,
And tickle their ribs
With an ostrich faather.
Oh, crackeys ; now he does it! We didn't think it lay
in the gizzard of mortal man to do half as much. Really,
we think such a despsrate and dangerous individual
ought to be caught, emit into a spider's web, and safely
guarded by one flea, two mosquitoes, and a vigilant
wood-louse. There is no knowing what the chap may do.

OLD CHURCII, LAMBETH.---The work of com-
pleting the internal fittings of this restored and chastely ele-
gant structure have been somewhat delayed by the compul-
sory absence, owing to severe indisposition, of the rector.
The galleries are in the course of construction, and the ap-
pliances for the hot-water apparatus for warming the church
nearly effected. By the new arrangement of the pews, no
less than 500 extra free sittings will be added to the number
which previously existed; and further, three pews on each
side of the centre isle, immediately below the reading-deck
and the pulpit respectively, will be devoted to the use of aged
and infirm poor, whose advanced years have brought upon
them deficiency of sight and hearing, and call for additional
care and comfort. A stained glass window, the donation of
the young gentlemen of the parish, of whom the ton of Mr.
Churwarden Taylor was one, has already been perfected, and
but little doubt is entertained that the whole will be so filled.
En passant, we ought to mention that with respect to the
one over that part of the church known as the Howard
Chapel, a communication has been opened by the church-
wardens with the Duke of Norfolk, as the heal of the
Howards, 'lacing it at his disposal, should he be pleased to
devote it to an ancestral record. His Grace, we understand,
has directed inquiries by his agents, but as yet has not re-
turned a definite reply. A new marble font of stupendous
dimensions, and designed in exquisite taste, has been pre-
sented by Sir Charles_Young, the Gaiter King of Anus, and
his brother, Dr. Young.

THE RAMSUAY INQUIRY.-PRESTON, Nov. 14.
The examination of witnesses on behalf of Mr. Ramshay was
resumed this morning. The public interest had so com-
pletely subsided that not more than fifty persons were in
attendance at the opening of the court. After our parcel
was dispatched yesterday, three other witnesses were brought
forward—Mr. liughes, solicitor; Mr. Edward Willan, sta-
tioner, and Mr. John Forbes. Their evidence was in sub-
stance corroborative of that given by previous witnesses,
as to Mr. Ramshay's general ability and demeanour, which
was stated to be all that was befitting a judge. The evi-
dence adduced to-day was of a similar purport, and the wit-
nesses were still under examination when our parcel was
dispatched.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday en inquest W.. 1.4
held by Mr. Bedford, at the Chat ing-croes Hospital, on the
body of Mr. Henry Palmer Parry, aged sixty-one. The de-
ceased was town traveller to a wine merchant, in Tower-
street, and on last Friday Ives crossing the Strand, opposite
Hungerford-street, when an orn_dbas Caine up, and the
driver called out to him to get out of the way. A lady who
was with him reached the pavement, but he unfortunately
turned back and was knocked down by the pole of as car-
nage, the wheals passing over his stomach. He was taken
to the Charing-cross Hospital, and seen by Dr. Dalton, the
house-surgeon, who suspected that rupture of the bladder had
taken place, end he died on Tuesday. The jury returned a
verdict of " Accidental death." A party applied on the part
of the widow for a retuta of the sum of 274, which the -
ceased had with him at the time of the accident, but it ap-
peared the money had been paid to Mr. Parry's brother. The
coroner said he could offer no advice, for lie might have
made a will.
SUICIDE AT TOTTENRAM.—Yesterday an inquest
was held by Mr. Baker, at the Bell and Hare, Tottenham,
on view of the body of Mr. Thomas Tuck, aged 66, of Iljgh ,
street, Tottenham. The deceased was surveyor of the IT:
board and tax-gatherer of the parish. He had for some
past complained of a pain

DOG • NT
W ED• —A Kentucky editor advertised as
follows:—" Wanted, at this office, a bull-dog of any colour
except pump kin and milk, of respectable size, snob-nose,
cropped ears, abbreviated continuation and bad disposition—
calcome when called with a raw beef steak, and will bite
the man who spits tobacco juice on the stove, and steals our
exchanges."

Dr. South says that many a man runs his head
tgaiost a pulpit, who might have done his country excellent
service at the plough.
