THE YOUNG HARPER.—A Welsh child,
named HUGHES, not yet five years old, has been for some
time past entertaining various fashionable assemblies at the
West-end of the town with his extraordinary performances
on the pedal-harp, in which he developed some talent at
the early age of two years. He is considered quite a pro-
digy in the use of that instrument. We understand that
he makes his first appearance before the public at the New
Strand Theatre this evening.

The bald-headed gentleman with Louis PHI-
LIPPE is M. FONTAIN E, the architect. They are concert-
ing a plan for a Royal Bazaar. His MAJESTY has a great
turn for such projects : in fact, between you and me, his
character has been mistaken—he only looks on the Crown
as a great commercial speculation. He has at once the
soul and the civility of a tax. gatherer ; and if he loses the
throne, give him a patent for building shops on a new plan,
with a certain gain, and he will be at once the happiest
and most popular man in the kingdom.-IVew Monthly
Magazine.

The forthcoming volumes, written by a cele-
brated public character, and entitled " Adventures of a
Younger Son," are said to detail the remarkable passages
in the life of the author, from his school-days to the ter-
mination of his sojourn in India. It is to be expected that
the author's intimacy with Lord BYRON, the late Mr.
Siixu.sy, and some of the Greek chiefs, will furnish rich
materials for this extraordinary production.

which has been adopted amongst the Hebrews in London
A correspondent proposes the following plan,
for several years past, and which has saved a great many
of their families from starvation :—During the four severe
months of the winter they have a lottery amongst them ;
the prizes consist of coals, meat, and bread, and the subscrip-
tion is 1/. and upwards per annum. A housekeeper, or
any charitable person who subscribes 1/. per annum is en-
titled to one prize ; those who subscribe 21. per annum
have two prizes, and the rest of the subscriptions in pro-
portion. After this lottery is drawn, each subscriber has
sent to his house every week a ticket, one for coals, one
for meat, and another for bread, which he gives to the dis-
tressed, and the tradesman who furnishes these articles
takes the paper tickets to the Hebrew Treasury, and
receives the money. For our own part we should
recommend this example to all the parishes, with
persons appointed as overseers, to see that the tickets are
not sold for money. No doubt by this means there would
be a great saving to the parishes, for the subscriptions
would not be heavy.

Greene •Id, parish of Moneydie, which was put into it ex-
actly 17 years ago; it died a natural death.—Scots Times.
ANECDOTE OF MR. JEFFREY.—Th pre-
sent Lord Advocate for Scotland was the son of ane under-
clerk of Session, and was born in the upper part of a
house in the Lawnrnarket, very near the spot where the
celebrated DAVID HUME is said to have also first seen the
light. The house happened to take fire at the time when
in the hurry of saving
the future Lord Advocate was only about a year old, and
other things, the child in the garret
was for a time forgotten. When it was almost too late
he was remembered, and an honest man, by trade a slater,
volunteered his services in rescuing the infant from his
perilous situation. With much difficulty, and no little
danger, he was brought forth from the burning house, and
delivered into the arms of his anxious friends. Thus was
a life, which assuredly has been of some importance in
Scottish literary and political history, preserved by the
courage of a poor tradesman. It is pleasant to have it to
record, that many
years after this event, when Mr. JEr_
F.REy had commenced his career at the bar, the poor
slater, happening to get involved, by no misconduct of his
own, in a ruinous series of legal troubles, applied for ad-
vice to Mr. JEFFREY, who, in gratitude to his disinte.
rested preserver, exerted himself in such a way as com-1
pletely to extricate him in a very short time. We believe
we may safely
add, that this conduct on the part of the
Lord Advocate is no more than what all who know hires
would expect from him under such circumstances.--
