..obifitti to the assumption of that ladle-armed chain-
ter termed the" laiy " by his sweetheart, ..the-sweep's
daughter (bliss E. Chaplin). A gentleman (Mr.
Boyce) works his cure by making him believe that he
is the 6on of an earl, and forcing him to go through
a course of etiquette. A dinner where he 1.11:-,y
not ask twice fur soup, eat fish with a knife,
and have an "ingon" with his cucumber, proves too
much for him, and abandoning his aristocratic no-
tions with disgust, he is too glad to escape from
genteel society, and effecting a reconciliation with
his friends, to put on the verdant costume of the
May-day "Jack.' The practical "fun" of Mr.
Wright at the dinner, where he commits all
sorts of enormities, is highly amusing, and the un-
mixed admiration with which he is regarded by his
sweetheart is portrayed with a great deal of force by
Miss E. Chaplin. The austere, unambitious ramoneur,
is a stately personage in the hands of Mr. Paul-Bed-
ford, and the small character of a sweep who enacts
the Mayday Clown, and incurs infinite bruises by
practising his tumbling, is rendered with much
humour by Mr. Sanders.

THE WINDOW TAX Tim GREATEST ABSORBENT OF
LlGHT.—Since Government is so paiiicular in charging for
light, we wonder it has never thought of putting a tax upon
spectacles, eye-glasses, and opera•glassea, which are all
media for conveying light to the eye, just as much as a pane
of glass. The rime with the windows in a carriage, or an
omnibus, or a bathing machine. Why should they not pay,
the window-tax to the same monstrous extent as the win-
dows in a house? These are shameful inequalities, which
betray a partiality which should exist in no tax, particu-
larly in one which should be framed with the strictest eye to
accuracy, as the larger the frame, the larger the payment
for it. It is strange that Government should institute itself
the Great Purveyor of Light, in opposition to the Sun; with
this difference, however, that Government charges for every
pane of light it lays on, and cuts it off pretty quickly if it I.
not paid up exactly to the quarter, and the sun gives its
light for nothing. Of all monopolies, the monopoly of light
is the most cruel, and is a measure only worthy of the dark
ages. To carry out the cruelty consistently, every man who
has two eyes should be taxed for light doubly, men with
only one eye should be let off with one payment, and none
should be exempt from the tax but blind persons.—?each.
DEATH OF MR. EDWARD W. LLOYD.—It is_ OUT
melancholy duty to announce the premature death of /Ward
Watson Lloyd, Esq., Clerk of the Crown and Prothonotary
of the Chester and North Wales Circuit, in which office he
succeeded his late father eight years ago. The death of Mr.
Lloyd, which occurred on Friday last, after a very short M-
I ness, is deeply regretted, not only by the members of the
legal profession, by whom he was deservedly esteemed for
his urbanity and courtesy in the discharge of his public
duties, but by the general community, whose interests and
enjoyments ha was always most ready to promote. His
personal friends have to deplore the death of a kind-hearted,
generous, and worthy man ; while to his bereaved widow and
twelve children his loss is irreparable.—Chester Courant.
MR. GLADSTONE'S VISIT TO ITALY.—SOIDe Of Our
contemporaries have attributed a political mission to the
Hon. Ilember for Oxford, but we believe he merely went in
the character of friend to a Noble Lord now in the Levant,
whose conjugal sorrows will come before the House of Peer.
next Tuesday. The melancholy office of collecting evidence
in this deplorable business devolved on him. It appears
that the infant born last August received in baptism the
name of Horatio Walpole Lawrence. The latter name
being a travelling designation of the Countess, who, as
stated last week, has pleaded guilty in the Ecclesiastical
Court.—Adeertiser.

On Wednesday James Cobb, flesher, found a clasp
knife in the stomach of an ox which he had newly killed.
It had been in the stomach apparently for a considerable
time, as the back of the blade was worn down to a sharp
point. The iron was fast wearing away, while the handle
was not injured in the least —Montrose Review.
THE LOBD•LIEUTENANCT IN IRELAND.—Yester-

SIR JOHN ROSS'S EXPEDITION.—STRANIAKIL,
MAY 21.—Early this morning Sir J. Ross, with Commander
Phillips, arrived in Loch Ryan in his vessel the Felix, called
after the late Sir Felix Booth, from Ayr, to take leave of hie
friends, and dispetch other business, before sailing for the
Arctic regions His vessel is to be registered out of this
port (his native place), and the papers are expected from
London by this right's post. As the Felix will only register
91 tons, he requires a special licence..from the Board of Cus-
toms, under the late regulations, as to the distance which
vessels under 170 tons are allowed to go from the land. The
same regulations limit the number of the crew to seven, in•
eluding the master, whereas Sir J. Ross's vessel carries a
crew of 13 men, exclusive of officers; he will also require
special licence for this purpose. These have been applied for,
and are expected to arrive from London this evening. He is
to have any quantity of stores he requires duty free. The
Felix is a very clumsy-looking vessel; she sits a good vcal
by the head, and his very low: she will probably not leave
Loch Ryan until the end of the week. it even then. Sir
John is an extraordinary man to undertake such an expe-
dition • he is in his 76th year, is quite deaf, and nearly
blind, 'but chacun a son gout. We wish him every success,
and a safe return. Should time permit, the inhabitants of
stranraer intend to give hint at public dinner.— Shipping
