Mr. BRIGHT said, in the debate on Friday
that at the time he visited the Library at the British Mu-
seum, he saw large numbers of persons of both sexes busily
engaged—in the most interesting manner possible.—(Great
laughter.)

QUIN is said to have possessed a secret, mode
of dressing a shoulder of mutton, which he suffered to die
with him.

Sixteen guineas for a.barouche and
.four, be-
sides two guineas to the drivers, was, it is said, no unusual
price for a day's excursion to the late Epsom Meeting..--
Brighton. Gazette.
The town continues dull, and thin of com-
pany ; but it is certainly less so than was the case last year
at this time..—Brighton Gazette.

A Dublin Paper, in noticing the state of the
police in this country, says that " some of the light-
fingered gentry stole a piece of ordnance in Essex, with a
view of turning the brass ie.° geld."

We continue to receive letters on the subject
of obscene print-shops. There can be no question that
any shop where prints of this kind are openly exhibited is
a public nuisance ; and there can be as little doubt that it
is the.duty of the police to abate it. There are, we are
told, some shops in the neighbourhood of Elow-street, to
which Sir R. illatitE will, we dare say, think it his im-
mediate duty to attend.— Times.

We have heard that it is in contemplation to
keep up a regular line of telegraphs on this coast, extend-
ing from Portsmouth to the Thames. It is certain that
some official enquiries have been made on the subject; and
that a new plan (which is not likely however to be carried
into effect) had been proposed for making communications
by night as well as day, by means of lunterns.—Brighton
Gazette.

At the interment of an elderly female, which
took place in one of the church-yards, in York, last week,
the son of the deceased, a man of about 35 years of age, ab-
solutely requested that the grave might be made shallower,
as it would be-impossible for his mother to get out of so
deep a grave at the day of judgment ! And so importu-
nate was the man, lest the labours of the
.sexton should
frustrate the "sure and certain hopes" expressed by the
Minister, that considerable interruption was given to the
performance of the service.—Hull Packet.

A lady's fashionable hat is designated a
windmill. According to an exact calculation, three ladies
in modern ton gear occupy the
.room which .7i 2-27ths
would have rlone three years ago.—Brighton. Gazette.

The frequenters of the Opera have desidera-
tell the rich and mellow tones of Signora BitAmmua
during the latter part of the season, and we shall be glad
to see her resume her station at the King's Theatre, at the
commencement of another operatical campaign.
John Bull says, a tremendous shower fell
upon the crowd at Ascot, who continued the verse of the
national anthem, " Long to reign over us," under cover
of an army of umbrellas.
French rogues are cheats, not thieves. French
honesty arises, not, perhaps, item the love of justice, but
from a repugnance to violence or force. They _are a com-
plainfl RePtib2? and would not rob you without first asking
your !;n4,setit and making you an accomplice in your own

We are sorry to learn that a young mail, a
butcher, at East Grinstead, has been committed to take his
trial, charged with a rape on a child twelve years old.—

TUNBRIDGE WELIA.—Last week, a being
iu the shape of human form led his wife (who has four
-children) froui This neighbourhood to Tunbridge, for
sale, when, after leading her up the town in a handker-
chief, he disposed of her to an old acquaintance for a trifling
sum, and, having himself taken another amorata to supply
her place, the whole party proceeded home together, and
were all living under the same roof, until those judicious
measures were taken which put an end to this act of flagrant
outrage and public detency.,—Maidsto-ne Journal,
