The news of the Reform Bill having passed
the second reading, was received with the utmost gratifi-
cation in this city. In the coffee-rooms the intelligence
was hailed with cheers. Throughout the city and suburbs
numerous flags are to-day unfurled from the windows and
house-tops in honour of the mgt.—Glasgow Chroxick.
That remarkable production of nature, the
toad fish, was brought to this town on Moniay, for exhi.
bition, having been caught in the Bristol Channel, at
Burnham, a few miles from Bridgewater, the preceding
day. It is two feet in length, of a dark earthy colour, has
a large head, &c., tongue numerously furnished with fangs,
and a short bony tail. It is well known to naturalists,
but has rarely, we understand, been seen on this roast.

THE MISFORTUNE 011 IMPATIENCE.--A
man named BourriLL was committed to Essex county
gaol, on Tuesday, for sheep-stealing. The next day he
learnt the death of his grandfather, and that he had left
him an estate in land of the estimated value of 5,0001. !

CHOLERA POLITICS.—.In England the ace?
/era attacked only the poor—in Paris it extends its ravages
to all classes. There is no wonder in this, for in this
country the plague is an aristocrat, while in France the
plague is a republican.—Figaro in London.
The liberty of a people consists in being go-
verned by the laws which they have made themselves,
under whatsoever form it be of government ; the liberty of
a private man, in being master of his own time and action,
as far as may consist with the laws of Gon and of Lis
country.—Cowley.

The " main of cocks," which was to have
lasted three days in Laing's Bazar, Edinburgh, has been
stopped by orders from the Lord Pro►ost, who will not
allow such brutality in the city. It was a bet between
some pot-sons from Forfar and Glasgow.

A destructive fire, which is supposed to have
originated in malevolence, broke out at St. Avoid, near
Mete, in the evening of the 14th instant, and continued
burning for more than twelve hours. About sixty houses
were consumed, and twelve individuals, four of whom
were military men, perished in the flames. We have net
heard any estimate of the amount of property destroyed.--
Galignani's Messenger.

CURRAN AND THE Cow.--A few days be-
fore his death, he was taking an airing with some friends,
and as the state of hie health would only allow the carriage
to proceed at a very slow rate, a cow that was grazing by
the road side put her head in at the ooach window.
" What a very curious circumstance," exclaimed cone of
the gentlemen, " Not at all, Sir," replied Mr. CURRAN,
" she knew you were Irish, and was looking for a bull. '

In the city of Norwich there were, a few
weeks ago, no lees than TWELVE THOUSAND persons, out
of a total pordstion of 70,000, receiving parochial relief !
In one paush the rates amount to no lees than thirty
shillings in the pound.

EMIGRATION.—From all we can learn, emi-
gration to the Csnadas, and other parts of the Continent
of America, is proceeding in an accelerated and aceelerat-
hag ratio, despite the recent regulation, orig.-taring in the
dread of cholera merbes, which renders it imperative on
the part of the shipowners to employ a surgeon wherever
the number of passengers amounts to or exceeds fifty per-
sons. Last year, as was lately stated in Parliament, op.
wards of 40,000 emigrants entered the St. Lawrence, and
emb,rked at Montreal ; and as this is only one point, and
leaves untouched St. John's, Prince Edward's, Nova
Scotia, and the United States, the aggregate emigration
must have been very greet. And this year it promises to
be double, treble, or quadruple the former amount; nor
is it at all improbable that it will go on increasing
for some years to come, in what may be called geome-
trical progression. And the reason is obvious. let the
first instance, few, save the unfortunate, the roving, the
hardy, and the enterprising, tore themselves from their
belayed father-land ; but after an experience of years, when
the axe had done its work in the back woods, and thriving
culture, more or less extensive, had usurped the place of
the tangled forest, the settlers very generally despatched to
their friends such cheering accounts of their altered lot and
improved condition, that the maxim that it is " better
to bear the ills we have, than fly to others that we know
not of," became every year less inveterate. Few probably
at first deemed it prudent to encourage their friends, or
were ahle to render them any assistance ; but as their own
prospects brightened, they naturally turned their attention
to relatives pining in poverty at hotne—a circumstance
which, combined with other causes, account. for the revival
of the trade of emigration after a comparative stagnation
of several years' dura.ion. The hardy back woodsmen,
so long as they remain in an incipient state, are compelled,
as it were, to do everything for themselves, practising,
however rudely, various trades; but as their numbers
multiply they cease to forge, fashion, and build, finding it
more for their interests to employ proper tradesmen, and
restrict their attention to the management of stock, and
the culture of corn, excepting perhaps daring the
winter months, when they sally forth with the gun or the
axe, to wage war, as the case may be, against the fowls of
the air, the beasts of the field, or the giants of the forest.
And thus one thing leads to another, until even artisans
are able to earn a livelihood amidst the inmost recessed of
the wilds of C 401441..... sunfrie Courier.
