flag and stone fields of Wersthorn, to Shipley, ,or Bradford, where it
will unite with lines now in ex stence, including the Leeds and
Selby line.
A highly influential local and other Committee is in the course of
formation for carrying out the above object, and a detailed Prospec-
tus will shortly appear; in the meantime, all communications, in-
cluding applications for shares in the usual form, accompanied by a
reference, may be made to Mr. C. W. Cobby, of No. 22, Paternoster-

MORALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of
deaths during the last week was only 786, showing a decrease
of 70 as compared with the previous week. Deaths from
diseases of the stomach, liver, and other organs of digestion,
are much above the average, being 90 to 68; measles still
continue - more than usually fatal, the number of deaths
amounting to 67, average for five autumns 81. Only 29 died
of-old age, being little more than one-third of the average.
The violent deaths were 22, of which 10 were caused by
fractures, contusions, and wounds, 7 from drowning, 3 hang-
ing and suffocation, and 2 from scalds. The return.gives 3
suicides. Rain in inches 1.19.

THE ANNUAL FLOWER-Snow.--The great Flower
Shocv of Literary Annuals is close at hand, and we hear
much in praise of the " rich and rare" qualities of some of
the specimens ; but we understand that one, of an entirely
novel character, is likely to eclipse them all, no less in tha
beauty and costliness of its pictorial illustrations, and the
elegance of its " complement extern," than in the novelty
and interest of its literary contents. The illustrations are
all from designs made by GEORGE CATrERMOLE, expressly
for this work ; the literary portions are contributed by seve-
ral of the most popular -writers of the day ; and the editor-
ship is entrusted to a lady (the Baroness Calabrella), whose
approved taste and judgment secure that choice and arrange-
ment of the materials, and that skill in putting them to-
gether, which are so essential to the success of a work of
this nature. The volume is entitled "EVENINGS AT HAD_
DON HALL," and we understand the " machinery" by which
the various tales, &c., are brought before the reader, is of the
most ingenious kind, and affords an opportunity of introduc-
ing personal sketches of many distinguished individuab3 in
the several worlds of fashion, diplomacy, and literature.

FARNINGHAM FAIR, KENT.—This autumn fair was
held on Tuesday for the sale of cattle.
There was a tolerable
good supply, and a fair share of business was transacted.
Bullocks, grass fatted, sold readily at 4s. 6d. per stone. Lean
beasts made prices ranging from
Si. to 11/. per head ;:cows
and calves (Ayrshire breed), 121. 12s. ; ditto, Durham, 13/.
•ditto,
down 141. Some heifers, with small calf, made 10/. y
down calving, 71. and 81. a-head. The horse field was large,
and prime young cart colts fit for work fetched from 211.
to 30/. ; good horses fit for London or farming purposes from
15/. to 251. each; aged cart horses made a low price, and
good nags, from 12/. to 21/. There were a few pens of store
pigs, and those strong, and free from distemper, sold well.
There were few samples of new hops offered, but purchasers
were reluctant.

SALE OF THE DURHAM AND SUNDERLAND RAIL'
WAY.—This line has at length, after a brief negotiation,
passed into the hands of Mr. Hudson, M.P., who has pur-
chased it on behalf of the Newcastle and Darlington Com-
pany. The guaranteed price is 301. per share, or 20/. less
than the original cost; but Mr. Hudson has agreed to re-
commend 33/. 6s. Bd. to the Newcastle and Darlington Di-
rectors, and there is little doubt that it will be the sum
paid. The arrangement, we believe, was completed at Sun-
derland, on Friday last.—Tyne Mercury.
A few days ago, George Hudson, Esq., M.P.,
Chairman of the York and North Midland Railway Company,
gave a substantial dinner to the servants of that establishment,
amounting in number to 260—including the mechanics in the
locomotive and carriage shops, engine- drivers-stokers, switch-
men, porters, &c.. They sat down to dinner, at half-past six
o'clock, in one of the large workshops appurtenant to the
York station, which is 150 feet long, and 60 feet wide. The
manner in which the health of Mr. Hudson was received
evinced the esteem in which he is held by this numerous
body of artizans. The most deafening cheers, renewed for
several minutes, followed the toast. The other toasts were
also warmly applauded, and the evening's entertainment
passed off in a most agreeable manner. The party broke up
about eleven o'clock, and repaired in good order to their re-
spe_tive homes, no little gratified with the enthrtainment.—

LOVE, A TALE OF VENICE;
MESMERISM, A MYSTERY.

By HOHACE SMITH, Esq.,
Author of " Brambletye House," &c.

" These volumes are full of interest and beauty. ' Love' is a very
charming tale of Venice during the first campaign of Buonaparte in
Italy. Amelia Lamedano, its heroine, is one of the loveliest and
most graceful of all Mr. Smith's creations. The characters are greatly
varied and ably sustained throughout ' Mesmerism' is a production
of altogether a different class. Bordering on the supernatural, it Is
exceedingly curious in its construction, excites an intense and thril-
ling interest, and with much of admirable moral, it throws much
light upon the obscure, and, as yet, little understood subject of animal
magnetism."—Naval and Military Gazette. . .

SECOND EDITION.

character are alike violated by the Commissioners in assign-
ieg a niche to the statue of Cromwell, the regicide." . •
" And who do our readers suppose is excluded to make room
for this treasonable homicide? There is to be no statue
of King Charles the First." Now, the over-sensi-
tive attachment of the Morning Post to all that
pertains to royalty, from its crown to its coachman, is here
betrayed into some inacuracy. We blush to say, that in
Memorandum A, at p. 9, sixty-three names, of which they
unanimously agreed to report as worthy of these statuary
honours, the name of the mighty Protector does not occur.
In Memorandum B, p. 10, a list of fifty-eight names, as to
which the "Committee were not unanimous, but decided by
greater or smaller majorities," the name of Cromwell is to
be found, smuggled in, as it were between those of the Marquis,
of Montrose and General Monk. The Post is, therefore,
premature, at least, in asserting, " that a niche is assigned"
to the great and victorious champion of the rights of the
English Commonwealth and people, against the unprincipled
oppressions of the second of the Stuarts. That Charles 1.,
whose fate, as our Contemporary remarks, "is annually renewed
in our remembrance by a solemn penitential service, appointed
—by the Church. But the Post is at any rate consis-
tent. If it rave with impotent vituperation against the great
asserter of English rights and liberties at home, and English
power and influence abroad, it is, as in duty bound, abso-
lutely maudlin over the grave of a smooth-faced but remorse-
less ruffian like Dundee, or the " Royalist Claverhouse,"
or a base Court sycophant and spiritual tyrant, like his
" Baud, the Prelate and Martyr ;" and he was a martyr—to
his meditated but unsuccessful treason to the Protestant
Church and the principles of the reformed religion. _ _

But what—leaving our unhappy Contemporary to his
Jeremiads over the honours intended for " the rebel
Hampden and the conspirator Russell"—what shall we say
to the seven Commissioners, Lord Mahon, Sir Robert Inglis,
Mr. Macaulay, Mr. Hawes, 31r. Hallam, Mr. Rogers, and
Mr. Wyse? What shall we say to the seven Englishmen
who, being unable to come to an unanimous resolution to
commemorate with honour such a man as Cromwell, are
unanimous in voting statues in this great temple of history
and legislation to so " small a deer" as Richardson, the
novelist, to an annalyst of no higher pretensions than " Vene-
rable Bede," or to a writer so entirely identified with
polemical divinity and " ecclesiastical polity as Hooker,"
whilst the 3 find no place for David Hume, and provide no
pedestal for so profound and logical a theologian as Bishop
Butler ? It seems to us that they have done
well in negativing such absurd propositions as erecting
statues in the nation's palace to players and fiddlers ;
for, with all our passion for music and our 'admiration
for dramatic excellence, we should indeed have thought
the sculptured effigies of " Purcell and Garrick," (gravely
proposed, it seems,) in such goodly company misplaced. Mr.
Hallam, even, one of the clearest-headed and most instructive
of modern historians, has not escaped the confusion of ideas
which seems to be contagious among these Commissioners.
There are 18 niches, about the appropriation of which he is
extremely solicitous. He writes thus to Mr. Eastlake :
" But while it would have been easy to recommend for the
18 niches in the House of Lords, the effigies of the Arch-
bishop and some other ecclesiastics, with these 16 Barons,
whom we find recited in the charter," &c. Now, 16
Barons, with an Archbishop (counted only for a single pre-
late) and " some" other ecclesiastics, therefore two or
more, make at the lowest computation, nineteen. Is it Mr.
Hallam's purpose to have two in one niche, like two in a
bed? Let us return, however, to the two lists, A and B.
It being our feeling that from this collection of " British
worthies" all purely controversial writers, however illus-
trious in the army of polemists--and all pensioned patriots,
however eminent for their talent at all times, and their pure
love of country at only certain periods•of their career—
should be excluded. We have no objection to Archbishops
Usher and Leighton, Jeremy Taylor, Chillingworth, Barrow,
and John Wesley, remaining on list B. But, in common
fairness, the seven Bishops who so nobly opposed at so much
personal peril, and under so many circumstances of suffering
and imprisonment the delinquencies of the Sovereign and
the Government, in the reign of James 11., ought to be
commemorated with due honour in a hall of statues that is
adjacent to the House of Peers. We have already avowed
our own opinion of Charles I. Yet we must ask why it
was proposed in list B to give statues to Lord Falk-
land and Lord Strafford, and yet to omit the unhappy
but not badly intentioned monarch—able, and accomplished,
and even brave Prince as he was—in whose cause both these
nobles perished—the one, gloriously, on the field of battle;
the other, ignominiously, on a scaffold? Why Lord Heath-
field should be promoted to list A, and Welfe, Aber-
cromby, Moore, or their illustrious predecessors in the rank
of great English Captains of former centuries, the Talbot
and the Chandos, be pushed back into the limbs
of list B, surpasses our comprehension. These are
inconsistencies that the public will indignantly resent. What
can have induced the adoption of the Earl of Surrey and
Cowper as amongst the noblest of our poets, to the exclu-
sion of Ben Jonson or Dryden, and Pope or Goldsmith, and
Burns, we cannot at all perceive. For the reason we have
alleged, we complain not of the omission of Walpole,. or
Burke, and Grattan (both of them pensioned patriots), but
why Cardinal Langton ("clarum et venerabile nomen"), the
munificent founder of English education, Cardinal Wolsey,
or that incorruptible and most able diplomatist, Sir William
Temple, or the true martyr, Lord William Russell, should
find no statues in such a collection, is a portentous inconsist-
ency only to be mated by the ingenious estimate of royal and
military greatness which decrees a statue to his Royal High-
ness Field Marshal Prince Albert, but rejects the claims to a
similar honour for Richard Cceur de Lion, Edward 1., Ed-
ward 111., the Black Prince, Henry V., and William 111. !!

The declaration by the authorities and commanding officers
representing England and France cf the blockade of all the
harbours of the Argentine Republic, and the actual esta-
blishment of that blockade as to the harbours of the Re-
public of Uruguay (the Monte Video State, or the "Banda
Oriental"), in whose behalf we have intervened—the latter
being directed against those ports in the vicinity of which
General ORIBE'S Buenos-Ayrean army is engaged in active
operations—will soon, we doubt not, bear fruits. The
seizure of the Argentine squadron is an auspicious com-
mencement of a better order of things for the outraged in-
terests of humanity, the insulted nationality of all the flags
of European civilization, and the wrongs of their commerce.
But for the very numerous

vulsions of South America in the last twenty-five years have
heaved into an agitated ythetwo greatest nations of the world is probably fraught with
' moral influences, that, but for the very circumstances—un-
toward as they originally appeared—out of which it has
arisen, would probably have slumbered, inactive, for a cen-
tury or two yet to come. The remoteness of those fine
countries of the Now World which, heretofore, were
the wealthy colonies of Spain, has hitherto proved of
fatal prejudice to the governed, whether under the mild
despotism of their Spanish masters, or the fierce licentious-
ness of the dictatorships established by their native and re-
publican leaders in the name of liberty. So long as European
opinion could be but very tardily and slightly brought to bear
on the incidents attending their political progress, so long
they would have continued to manifest a reckless disregard
of all the ordinary principles of international law and even of
moral responsibility. The excitement of contending factions
would have continued to absorb every other sentiment, and
that sanguinary desolation which seems to be the native
type of South American energy, under all conditions of cir-
cumstances, and in the several zones over which its sphere
of action is distributed, would still have marred and neutra-
lised all the bounties of PROVIDENCE and the productiveness
of climate by internecine wars and insane and incessant re-
volutions. Steam, among its other triumphs, had already
brought its " disturbing forces" into play. The remoteness
of their position, and the meagreness of their relations with
the Old World were already becoming little more than his-
torical recollections to these States, when the insolent pre-
sumption of a military adventurer, drunk with success and
blinded by his ambition, involved European subjects, their
lives and property, in the same violence which he had ha-
bitually applied to the citizens of Buenos Ayres and of Monte
Video. The lesson that will be taught by the manifestation
which this lawless policy has elicited at the hands of France
and England will not be readily forgotten by ROSAS or his
people. They will learn to respect the political maxim
which recognises the presence of the European power in the
exhibition of its flag, and Roans himself may yet be
signally instructed, that the governments of civilised states
will sometimes visit on delinquent chiefs, who have invoked,
for their own bad purposes, the cut-throat aid of such in-
famous auxiliaries as his " Masorca Club," the same retri-
butive justice which municipal laws inflict for atrocious
crimes on private offenders. Ere this we should imagine that
the complete defeat which another portion of his forces has
sustained at Santa Fe from General LOPES, aided by some
bo.lf-disciplined Indian cavalry, will have completed the
effect of the loss of his fleet. For our own parts, we trust
that when that national satisfaction shall have been afforded
which it is the immediate object of the French and English
diplomatic agents to compel, Rosas himself shall be sub-
mitted to the searching examinations of a duly constituted
tribunal, to ascertain to what extent, if to any, he himself
has been compromised in the barbarous massacre of the nine
English subjects composing the Scotch family residing in, the
immediate vicinity of Buenos Ayres, to which we alluded
more particularly a few weeks ago, and in other of those
excesses, perpetrated by the " Masorca," to which General
O'BIUEN was so nearly becoming a sacrifice, and beneath
which others of our countrymen, or European brethren, less
fortunate than the General, have undoubtedly perished.
In a merely commercial point of view, the re-establish-
ment of a pacific intercourse with the States upon the La
Plata is an object of greater magnitude to Great Britain than
some of our readers may perhaps suppose. By a reference to
the Parliamentary Paper, of which we recently submitted
a careful abstract, entitled " Exports and Imports" (P. P.,
secs. 1845, Ho. Comm., No. 651), we find the "Return for
Mexico and the other States of Central and South America,
exclusive of Brazil," consolidated under one head. But
inasmuch as the leading articles or commodities of export
and import are separately set out, it is not difficult to form
a sufficiently. accurate notion of the proportions we may ascribe
to the trade with Monte Video and Buenos Ayres. Taking the
whole table for Mexico, &c., it results that the "aggregate"
value of British and Irish produce and manufactures ex-
ported, last year, wa5_3,013,2671. In some of these exports
the increase in five years—from 1840 to 1844 inclusive—is
really astonishing. Brass and copper manufactures in the
former year were to the amount of 4,9001. only; in the
latter, 16423/. Hardware and cutlery rose from 76,6004
to 143,608/. ; woollen manufactures, including Yaw) from I

541,338/. to 770,7671. The imports from the same countries,

during the same interval, are, as usual, returned only as
" quantities," with the rates of duty chargeable thereon.
But these do not the less indicate a rapidly expanding and
lucrative commerce. The imports of Peruvian bark, which
in 1840 were only 69,2671b5., in 1843 amounted to 303,6651b5.,
the duty being meanwhile lowered from 9s. 91d. to ls.
per cwt. The return for " Cochineal (Granilla and Dust),"
independently of the interest attaching to the trade in that
precious commodity, is too instructive an exemplification of
the results of a wise reduction of import duties not to merit
here our especial notice. In 1840 the duty was Is. and a
fraction for the cwt. of Cochineal and Granilla, and 19s. 7id•
for the Dust; and the imports were 206,5501b5. In 1841,
at same duties, only 67,9401b5. In 1842, 1843, and
1844, the duty being reduced to ls. and a fraction
per cwt. on each, the imports were, severally, 259,9801b5.,
421,7421b5., and 303,8901b5. Again, in 1840, the duty on
coffee was Is. 3id. per lb., reduced in 1842 to
81e1., and in 1844 to 6d. and a fraction. The imports in-
creased through each successive year, from 587 3531b5. to
8,093,6391b5. But we content ourselves for the present by
merely pointing out in this manner what are the capacities
of the trade with these States. Let us, in conclusion, look
a little further, and see what they may be made by judicious
negotiation. For more than a century past the policy of the
Jesuits had gradually isolated the noble region of Paraguay
(situated as to South America within boundaries more land-
locked than even those of Poland, as to Europe) from the
approach of all foreign trade. As if Nature had not suf-
ficiently removed her by natural features and geographical
position from all access by the ocean, the jealous vigilance of
that remarkable tyrant, the doctor-dictator, FRANCIA (so
graphically described in Mr. ROBERTSON'S admirable
Letters from Paraguay,") successfully established a species
of frontier blockade for a full quarter of a century, without a
single soldier, and with the most moderate Custom-house
establishment imaginable. The death of FRANCIA, two or
three years ago, has demolished the more than Chinese seclu-
sion in which he managed to keep his territory. Its natural
wealth, its medicinal treasures, its vegetable products, its
mineral riches, are well known; its peltry much less so than it
deserves to be, for it abounds in animals that yield excellent
furs. Its hides are also of first-rate quality. Connected
by the mighty waters or the Parana, on the west, with
the fine countries of old Upper Peru, now incor-
porated into the States of Bolivia—on the east by the
Uruguay with Brazil, on the south by tributaries of the
latter, which unite it, as it may be said, with the course of
the mighty La Plata, it is not easy to exaggerate the bene-
ficial results to the trade of this country which a more ex-
tensive and carefully cultivated intercourse with Paraguay
would secure. The first and indispensable step in the work
of giving to such a trade a development far, very far beyond
any it has ever yet attained, must be of course to secure the
tree navigation of the Plata, and to establish permanent re-
lations of amity with the republics of which the cities of
Monte Video and Buenos Ayres are now the respective capi•
tals. The ultimate means of giving permanency and con-
solidation to such a commerce, so as to elicit all its advan-
tages to their full extent, will be the establishment of rail
ways, for which, we venture to affirm, few countries of
America will be found to offer more numerous or profitable
facilities than the vast and fertile plains of Paraguay. If
she be but supplied with these lines of communication, her
growth will be instantaneous from her dwarfed infancy of
two centuries of demi-civilisation to the gigantic maturity
of a magnificent and opulent dominion. It is somewhat
extraordinary that the nearest portion of the Brazilian em-
pire, abutting on her eastern and north-eastern boundaries,
is the great captaincy or province of San Paulo, for the esta-
blishment of a railway through whose maritime borders a
company has been fur some time past successfully organising
in London. It is thus that we may hope to see, ere long, in
the very heart of South America the most modern and useful
of the arts of peace, avenging, in the noblest sense of the
term, an interesting family of the human race for the long-
continued ravages it has sustained through the aggressions
of destructive wars and massacres.

frightful subterranean groaning filled the inhabitants around
it with terror. This continued till midday on the 2d, when
the mountain burst in two places with a horrible crash, and
vomited masses of fire. In former times these explosions
carne from the summit, where Heela has no regularly
formed crater ; but this time torrents of lava flowed
down two gorges on the flanks of the mountain.-
Letters from Reikjavik of the 13th, state that up to that day
no great damage had been done in the Syssels of Ranger-
valla and Arrids, situated close to the mountain, inasmuch
as the openings whence the ignited masses issue are fortu-
nately on the north and north-west sides, and, consequently,
took that direction, in which there is nothing but barren
heaths. Besides, the wind having constantly blown from the
south and south-west, has driven the ashes and dust towards
the opposite points. From the clouds of smoke and vapour
the top of the volcano could not be seen. The sheep on the
heaths were driven down to the plains, but not till several of
them were burnt. The waters of the neighbouring rivers
near the eruption became so hot that the fish were killed,
and it was impossible for any one to lord them even on horse-
back. Although the lava and ashes took a northern direc-
tion, the eruption was not known on that side of the island
till after the 11th, and even as late as the 15th the people at
the Syssels of Mule, iu the north-cast, were ignorant of it.
In the western parts the noise accompanying the eruption
was distinctly heard like the rolling of distant thunder. No-
thing was heard at Reikjavik." •

BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE DANKS.

This morning, Mr. NORTON, the solicitor, made an appli-
cation under the following circumstances :—The insolvent,
Ann Danks, a well-known character, appeared about twelve
months since before the late Sir Charles Williams, who ad-
journed the examination sine die, and remanded the in-
solvent to prison, where she remained until the lath inat.
Mr. Norton now complained that the notice served upon his
client was for the 30th. Mr. Solomon, the solicitor for the
insolvent, met Mr. Norton in Court the day after the dis-
charge, and with a smile, asked him how it was he did not
attend to oppose. The notices were not prepared by the
messenger, but by the insolvent's solicitor. He would not
have troubled the Court about the matter, but it was well
known that the insolvent had sufficient property to pay all
the creditors 20s. in the pound.
. .

➢lr. Commissioner SHEPHERD, upon examining the notice,
was of opinion it was the thirteenth.—(Laughter.) There
was a very small n.—(Renewed laughter.) He was of opinion
that Mr. Norton's client had made the mistake.
➢ir. Norton—lt is evidently a trick, as it was well known
he was instructed to oppose. _ _ _

Mr. Cooke and Mr. liuncan examined the notice, and gave
it as their opinion that it was the thirteenth.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD said he could give Mr. Nor-
ton no assistance in the matter.

MARLBORO U El-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
George Baker, a shabbily dressed young man, who de-
scribed himself of " no occupation,' and lodging at a coffee-
shop, in High-street, Bloomsbury, was charged with com-
mitting the following robbery, at the Princess's Theatre :
Caroline Smith, servant in a gentleman's family, residing
at No. 9, Cumberland-terrace, Regent's-park, stated that
a few minutes before seven o'clock last evening, as she was
standing on the gallery stairs waiting to enter the theatre,
she felt the pressure of some person's hand against herbosom,
and directly missed her brooch ; at the same instant, a fellow
servant that was with her, exclaimed that the prisoner had
taken it. She taxed him with having done so, but he strongly
denied it, and was attempting to make his way through the
crowd, when some of the by standers secured him until he
was taken into custody by the police in attendance at the
theatre; the brooch was found on the stairs close to where he
had stood when he took it from the prosecutrix's bosom; it
was a camelion stone mounted in gold, and of the value of
from 7s. to 10s.

The prisoner in his defence said that it was impossible he
could have taken the brooch, as he was not within three
yards of the prosecutrix.
The prosecutrix said he was close behind her when be did
it. She was quite positive he was the man.
Mr. HARDWICK asked if the prisoner was known.
Police Sergeant No. 12, of the E division said, that he was
convicted at the Central Criminal Court of utte►ing counter
feit money, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment
and hard labour. On his discharge from gaol he was again
taken into custody on a charge of robbery, on which he was
convicted at the Middlesex Sessions, and sentenced to six
months in the House of Correction, and had only come out
of prison a very short time.
The prosecutrix said it would be impossible for her to
appear against the prisoner if he was committed for trial.
Mr. HARDWICK said, that under the c►rcumstances, he
should deal summarily with the case, and convicted the
prisoner, under the Police Act, sentencing him to three
mouths' imprisonment and hard labour in 'Westminster Bride-
well.

CUSTOMS REVENUE OF LIVERPOOL.—The general
quarterly abstract of revenue for the United Kingdom shows
a decrease, under the head "Customs," of 1,154,4924 attri-
butable to the reduction of various important duties; and it
may be interesting to learn how much of this amount belongs
to this port. From the best information within cur reach,
and which we believe to be accurate, we learn that the gross
receipts at our Custom-house for the quarter just past were
897,9984 against 1,324,906/. for the corresponding period of
last year, showing a decrease of 426,9061. Considering that
the Customs revenue of Liverpool is, on the average of late
years, one-fifth of that of the entire kingdom, it may be
thought that the above statement shows somewhat like a
falling off in the trade of our port. It must be borne in mind,
however, that we have this year lost the cotton duty, amount-
ing to 640,000/. per annum, nearly all collected in Liverpool ;
and that the recent reduction in the sugar duties, computed
at 1,700,000/. for the year, has fallen peculiarly upon this
port. Taking these duties into consideration, we have
rather improved our position than otherwise.—Liverpool
Standard.

THE NAPOLEON MUSEUM.—We are glad to find
that the new purchaser of the Napoleon Museum has yielded
to the request of those who were desirous that the very in-
teresting illustrations which it contains of the eventful career
of " the foremost man of all this world," should be per-
mitted to remain among us a short time longer. The Mu-
seum, to which many interesting relics and curiosities have
been added, is at present exhibiting at the Egyptian Hall,
Piccadilly, pre% iously, we regret to add, to its being removed
by its proprietor to his residence abroad. We had hoped
that there had been public spirit enough among us not to
have suffered the museum to quit this country.
NEW DEVICE BY RAILWAY STAGS.—The broken-
down stags, finding their former practices unavailing, have
now resorted to a new practice of raising the wind, though in
a small way. They now make a prrctice of going round to
the different railways, and obtaining several prospectuses,
under the plea of coming from some respectable party whom
they name; having obtained a sufficient number, they then
adjourn to the precincts of Capel-court, where they turn
prospectus venders, and sell them at the rate of 2d. each to
those railway speculators who cannot lose time by writing for
them.
