MR. CATLIN, MR. RANKIN, AND TIIE OJIBDEWAY
IsmAxs.—,The exhibition at the Egyptian -hall of the Ojib-
beway Indians, which was, until within a week or two, the
joint speculation of Mr. Catlin, who is well known to the
public, and of Mr. Rankin, who held during the late rebellion
in Canada a commission in the British army, and who brought
the Indians over to this country, is now the sole speculation
'of the latter of these two gentlemen. Souse animadversions
have, we understand from Mr. Catlin, been made upon him'in
certain journals, imputing to him the having made from the
exhibition the larger share of the profits, and of having made
a bargain by which he has secured -" the cream" of the
speculation, and left his co-partner the " skim milk." With
this we have nothing to do, nor can we interfere in any
arrangement between him and Mr. Rankin. At present the
Indians are exhibited under the sole management of Mr.
Rankin, and Mr. Catlin has an exhibition of Indian curio-
sities and pictures at the Egyptian-hall, which is well worth
being seen, and which derives greater interest from the able
manner in' which he illustrates what he exhibits by his ex•
planations. Both exhibitions will reward a visit from the
curious, and both gentlemen are, in our opinion, deserving of
success in their pursuits. •
A ,MAN LEGALLY PROVED NEVER TO HAVE HAD A
FATIIER.—A young man was summoned to appear before the
magistrates at Bocking Petty Session, on the 28th March, to
show cause why. he refused to support his father, who had
received relief, from the guardians of the Braintree Union,
and consequently not able to maintain himself. Mr. Lane,
who appeared for the young man, to show cause, informed the
magistrates he should be able to prove that his client never
never had a father. Mr. Lane then did so by showing that
his client was born out of wedlock, and, consequently, legally
had no father; upon which, the magistrates dismissed the
case.—Essex Herald.

. Several old coins have been found near the sea-
shore, close to a field called Cae'r Heublas, near BangOr;
Canarvonshire. They are inscribed fdwrang hyb; on the
reverse, Civitas London; others have Bristol on the reverse.
They evidently belong to the reign of Edward 1., and are
probably some of the great coinage which he issued in 1279,
being therefore 565 years old.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
