A LOST SECRET IN ART.—Amongst the most
eminent glass painters who first appeared upon the revival of
the art in England were Isaac Oliver, born in 1616, and Wil-
liam Price, who lived about the close of the 17th century.
This last person was for many years (we quote the "
Eneycic-
paedia Brittanica") the only glass painter in England. He is
said to have discovered what is to this day a desideratum in
the art of glass staining—the secret of producing a rich, clear,
bright, and transparent red, the most difficult to strike, and the
most expensive of all the colours employed in glass painting.
But Price having died soon after making this discovery, his
L secret died with him.

Sir Thomas Henry S-, of London, on his way
lately from Rome to England, stopped at Salins, in the depart-
ment of the Jura, and ordered a very quiet dinner at the inn
where he put up, for which, however, the landlord sent him in
a bill of 22 francs. Being obliged to set out immmediately,
Sir Thomas paid the bill, but gave instructions to an inhabitant
of Salins, to lay a complaint, in his name, against the inn-
keeper; to obtain redress for an injustice so frequently exer-
cised towards travelleis. The Tribunal de la Paix, of the can-
ton of Salins, have, it appears, condemned the innkeeper to
restore half the amount of the bill, and to pay a fine of five
francs besides. These sums are, according to Sir Thomas's
directions, to be distributed amongst the poor of the town of
Salins.— Sentinelle du Jura.

tou, with 24. Total emigration this season to New York,
207—t0 the Colonies, 194.—Scots Times.

FEMALE EMIGRATION.—Extract from a letter
very recently raceived from Sydney, New South Wales, rela-
tive to the practice of the British Government encouraging or
selecting females, and sending them out in shiploads to that
colony as free settlers :—" I trust that when further importa-
tions of females take place (as the system seems still to be
encouraged), they will be found of a very different character
from those that have hitherto been thrust upon us. The co-
lony, particularly Sydney, teems with abandoned prostitutes,
sent out as if our society had not before been sufficient relined
in villainy from the unhanged refuse of English gaols. Like
-another Rome, we are deriving our origin from lawless bandits
and prdmiscuous intercourse; though you have taken care, by
your late exportations, that rape shall not be necessary to com-
plete the contrast."

TREMAIN 2, OR THE MAN OF REFINEMENT.—
Every one, we feel persuaded, will bail with satisfaction the
appearance, in Colburn's Novelists, of the new, cheap, and
embellished edition of this work, which originally excited so
lively and general an interest. It was justly observed by the
Quarterly Review, that "no fastidious person can read Tre-
maine ' without being persuaded that it affords most useful and
practical lessons of conduct. Our youth look to the poetry,
and not to the reality of life ; and it is the object of this book
to show that the individual who adopts such an idea, mars his
own happiness, as much as he fails in his duty towards the
community." Wo know of no book so admirably au..-:pted for
a present to young persons ; and its re-appearance in so cheap
a form is, therefore, exceedingly well timed.
ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE GENERALJACKSON•
It will be recollected that some suspicions were thrown out
that Mr. Poindexter, a member of the Senate, was supposed
to have been instrumental in procuring the attempt to be made
on General Jackson's life. The matter was referred to a
Committee of the Senate, which made a report on March 2,
fully acquitting Mr. Poindexter. The following is the con-
clusion of the report :—" The Committee cannot too strongly
express their aversion to and abhorrence of these proceedings
They are happy to believe that this vile attempt to implicate
in the most atrocious act a member of the Senate has excited
on, the part of the other inhabitants of. this city the strongest
feelings of indignation and the Committee feel that it is due
to every public consideration that the plotters and contrivers
of this nefarious charge against an innocent man should he
held up to public odium and scorn. In conclusion, the
Committee offer to the Senate the following resolution
Resolved—That not a shade of suspicion rests upon the
character of the Hon. George Poindexter, in reference to
the subject matter of inquiry submitted to the Select Corn.,
mittee."

THE MARCH OF INTELLECT.—At a day-school,
not a hundred miles from hence, and only a few days ago,
the master was examining one of his pupils in etymological
parsing, when the latter came to the word " away," which
he very confidently pronounced to be an adjective. " No,
no," said the matter, " how can you think so ? Do you
know any noun with which that word can be connected to
express its quality ? Did you ever hear, for instance, of an
away book, an away house, or an away field ?" " No,
Sir," replied the precocious wit, "but I have heard of a-weigh
bridge 1"
Shortly after three o'clock yesterday morning, the
utmost anxiety was manifested for the safety of
.the inmates of.
the Golden Fleece public-house, Salisbury-lane, Dockhead,
in consequence of the lower part of the house being on lire.
The neighbourhood being in a very confined and narrow situa-
tion, and the buildings of very old materials, for some time
great doubt was entertained of saving the extensive granary
of Mr. Landall, opposite the Fleece, from destruction. By
four o'clock, seven engines were at work, and the powerful
floating engine also being in requisition, and a high tide in the
enabled the firemen, after their utmost exertions, to ex-.
the fire, not, however, until trio houses, together with
the furi..:::- rs, stock, &c., were consumed. Fortunately, no
lives were los. The
property destroyed is iagured in the Sun
Fire Office. Tie :.• is supposed to have began in the bui: of
the public house
