This undertaking, in connexion with the Lancaster and Carlisle
Railway and its tributaries, will bring the important mineral, agri-
cultural. and grazing districts of Furness and West Cumberland (hi-
therto for the most part isolated) into immediate and direct commu-
nication with the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and York-
shire, and will form a continuous line of railway between the east
and west coasts, viz.: from Hull and the other neighbouring ports on
the Baltic to Whitehaven wad the' other ports on the Irish Sea, and
it will afford the only safe and sure means of transit, irrespective of
tides, from the town and port of Ulverston with Lancashire north
of Sands, to all other parts of England.
The line is intended to diverge from the Lancaster and Carlisle
Railway, near Milnthorpe, which, admitting of a near approach to
the foot of the Lakes of Winandermere and Coniston, may be deemed
the most eligible route to Ulverston.

the Grand Union Railway.
A Provisional Committee is formed, and a detailed prospectus will
be issued in a few days ; and in the meantime, communications
may be made to the Provisional Committee, through their Solici-
tors, Messrs. W. and S. Parsons, jun., Nottingham, of whom further

p ILBROW'S ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY
and CANAL PROPULSION COMPANY.
Provisionally Registered.
Capital 600,0001., in 60,000 shares of 10/. each.
Instalment Il per Share.
Since the issuing of the former Prospectus, the Proviaional Three-
tors have considered it desirable to negotiate with the Patentee for
his whole, right of patents, instead of confining themselves to the
United Kingdom and Ireland, as originally proposed ; and the Direc-
tors have now the satisfaction of announcing to the public that they
have agreed for the purchase of the British and Foreign right of Pil-
brow's Atmospheric Railroad and Canal Propulsion Patents. By this
extended arrangement the Directors have obtained the patents upon
much more advantageous terms for the proprietary, in consequence
of which the amount of call necessary to carry out the object and
intention of the Company will be greatly diminished, and the pros-
pect of immediate return considerably increased.
In lieu of Five Pounds, One Ponnd per share is considered ample to
cover the expenses of purchase, and to lay down a line of sufficient
length to prove the superiority of Pibrow's Atmospheric principle.
The arrangement of this undertaking, however. necessarily involves
many changes ; the amount of capital and the number of shares must
be considerably augmented, but the shares will still be continued at
the same amount, viz.i Ten Pound shares, to meet the wishes of the
original applkants.
An instalment of One Pound per share will be required on the
signing of the deed of settlement.

The proalnent advantages of this system of Atmospheric traction,
are, that the continuous valve is dispensed with ; roads :we crossed
u on a level without interruption of main ; one atmospheric railway
can be intersected by another, thus saving bridges, approaches, and
leakage ; and It is confidently expected that a stationary engine every
ten miles will he sufficient.
The system combines extreme simplicity with perfect efficiency,
and that obtained with a small comparative expense in working and
construction.
It is estimated that a saving altogether Upon the other plans of
Atmospheric Railways (having the continuous valve) will be nearly
3,0001. per mile; two:mains or lines can. on this plan, be laid for
little more than the cost of one, upon the other plans; and a saving
or working in annual expense of two-thirds.
Increased safety is insured, also obstruction and destruction by
weather and other sources are placed beyond probability by the
mains being buried, &c.
The objects of the Company will be to dispose of foreign patents ;
to grant licences to Railway and Canal Companies to use the
invention, or lay down the works under contracts with the different
Companies ; and to lay down an experimental line in the neighbour-
hood of the metropolis, by agreement with an existing company or
otherwise.
The income derivable from these sources offers considerable advan-
tages, while the expenses, with the exception of the purchase of the
patents, and laying down the experimental line, are obviously small.
A Model, upon a scale of one inch to tit: foot, may be seen at work
on Wednesdays and Thursdays, between twelve and three o'clock,

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE
ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the breeding of
the Llama, from which a very fine wool is obtained. The Cloth
made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and as some
curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry of a
coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of REGENT-STREET,
TAILORS to the COURT, it may be marked that such was made, of
this material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED
PALETO r, and. in its appearance there Is nothing very singular,
beyond a very gentlemanly neatness, and an absence of all unsightly
vulgarity. Upon being submitted at Court it met with high appro-
bation.—Morning Post, April 19. _ . _

Amongst the registration of designs according to the new Act, that
of a coat is to be found. The notion of securing the particular sub-
stance and cut of a coat is certainly a new one, but it speaks well for
the working of an Act which thus secures the profit of a good
judgment and well-directed ingenuity to those to whom alone it is
due.—The Times, April 4.

a summer overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and
comfort of the wrapper of tweed and Its moderate price, without its
inelegant and universally-admitted common appearance. The ma-
terial is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest Llama
Wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige nor trop habille, but
whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it cannot
encumber free movement, worn riding or walking: it will also, from
the neatness of its form, admit of its being used as a light Frock Coat
—a desirable advantage in our warmest summer months, or abroad
where heat is found oppressive.
H. J. and D. NICOLL, sensitive to the importance of that vade-
mecum—a moderately-light overcoat in a climate so changeable as
that of Great Britain—would not submit to the public the Registered
Paletot till themselves were satisfied of its being perfect,

When used as a pardessus, riding or walking, or as summer frock, the
above firm might pledge a reputation, which, gained by matured skill
and honoured by royal patronage, is of some standing. This they can
do with safety, as their new introduction, they respectfully submit,
will not compromise that characteristic of an English gentleman—
the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a wide extended sale is
sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas is fixed.

In consequence of the great variety of counterfeit Envelopes

pernicious compounds under the title of " KALYDOR," the Pro-

ment of their object—the protection of the public from fraud and
imposition, have employed those celebrated artists, Messrs. Perkins,

The great benefits resulting from an efficacious household medicine
must be manifest to all. This medicine is not put forward as a cure
for every complaint, but in those cases of sudden and temporary ill-
ness so frequeirly occurring in families, it will be found of singular
service, as its operation is extremely mild, as well as effectual.
The large and steadily increasing sale of these Pills, ,princi-
pally from the recommendations of those who have expe-
rienced their salutary qualities, is the best proof of their ex-
cellence. A fin, doses will convince those suffering from Indi-

IRELAND.

THE NEW BANKING MEASURES.

DUBLIN', APRIL 28.—Sir Robert Peel's explanation of the
changes contemplated by Government respecting the Irish
banks has produced very general satisfaction, especially
amongst commercial men. The measure is well calculated to
afford facilities to trade, and to open up new sources of com-
mercial enterprise. Some apprehension prevailed that the
Bank of Ireland would be materially injured by the abolition
of its monopoly of issue in the metropolitan districts, and
within a circuit of sixty-four miles around Dublin; but
there is little ground for alarm on this point.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
The weekly meeting of the Association was held this day
in the Conciliation Hall. The chair was taken by Nicholas
Maher, Esq., M.P. for Tipperary.
The CHAIRMAN said he could not let that opportunity pass
without declaring his gratitude to Sir Robeit Peel for intro-
ducing the Maynooth Bill, and the straightforward manner
in which he brought it forward. But whilst they would re-
ceive these instalments with gratitude, they would neverthe-
less be satisfied with nothing short of the repeal of the legis-
lative union.—(Cheers.) The Member for Edinburgh (Mr.
Macaulay) had recently stated in his place in Parliament
that the suppression of the monster meetings had led to the
restoration of peace and order in Ireland; but he would ask
the Hon. Gentleman, at the period when these meetings were
in progress was there ever the slightest infraction of the law
committed? He doubted much whether Mr. Macaulay had
given expression to such a sentiment; he was sure some
waggish reporter had put the phrase in his mouth.
Mr. O'CONNELL handed in several remittances. In refe-
rence to a letter from Wexford, inclosing 10/., be said he
regretted' much to he obliged to animadvert on the absence
of the members fur that county from Conciliation Hall. For
the gentlemen that represented that county, individually, he
entertained the highest regard, but he felt bound to declare
that the first question put to the candidate who sought the
suffrage of any Liberal constituency, would be whether he
was a member of the Repeal Association.—(Cheers.) The
Hon. Gentleman then announced the receipt of 741. from the
clergy of the diocese of Ardagh, forwarded by the Right Rev.
Dr. Higgins.
Mr. S. O'BRIEN brought forward the address of the com-
mittee of the Repeal Association to the electors of the county
of Down, adverted to yesterday. The Hon. Gentleman,
having moved the adoption of the address, said, that during
the course of a late debate, Mr. Macaulay had declared in the
most emphatic terms that the repeal of the legislative union
would be fatal to England, and that the English people
would never consent to it, were they even threatened with an
united attack from France, America, and Spain. Sir James
Graham, on the part of the Government, concurred with every
sentiment which fell from Mr. Macaulay on the subject.
Firm as had been the declaration of the Member for Edin-
burgh and Sir J. Graham, he would assert that no less firm
was the determination of the people of Ireland.—(Cheers.) The
language which had been enunciated almost tempted him, on
the part of the Irish people, to answer it with defiance.
If the Government of England depended solely on the
strength of that country for the maintenance of • the union,
he would tell them that, circumstanced as even they (the
Irish) were, it could not be sustained by physical power.—
(Cheers.) They would not be intimidated by rash and in-
solent boasts.—(Hear, hear.) The consummation they
aimed at they were determined to have, not certainly through
the intervention of foreign aid, but by their own exertions ;
and he had no hesitation in declaring that if the north joined
the national cause, the union would be repealed within three
months, and that without striking a single blow, and he did
not know but such a union might take place.—(Hear, bear. )
Expressions had lately been uttered by Conservatives which
were worthy of that 'hall, which warranted him in looking
forward to a union between all parties for the benefit of
their common country.—(Hear, hear.) If the contingency
on which he calculated were to occur, he would tell them it
would then be too late to negotiate.—(Hear, hear.) If the
ships of America, manned with regiments of Irish emigrants,
armed and ready to defend their native land—if the fleets of
France were ready to make a descent on the unprotected
coasts of England—if the soldiers of the British army, form-
ing one-third of that force, were to refuse shedding the blood
of their fellow-countrymen—if the Irish resident in England
were to co-operate with us, then the contingency would have
arrived—the British empire would be broken up, and the
history of Ireland would henceforward be that of a distinct
and independent nation.—( Loud cheers.)
Mr. J. A. O'NEILL seconded the adoption of the address.
Mr. GREY PORTER said he did not find fault with the
Association that there were so many Catholics in it, but be-
cause there were so few Protestants. The men of the north of
Ireland wished to know whether the repeal of the union were
a sine qua non, and whether, if the just grievances of the
country were redressed, they would still persist in looking for
that object. If, for example, the number of representatives
were increased in a fair proportion—if the franchise were
extended, and if a good Landlord and Tenant Bill were con-
ferred, and the Municipal Act amended, and if. the Church
temporalities were modified in Munster and Connaught, and
if a diplomatic intercourse were opened with the Court of
Rome—the question then was, whether, if these concessions
were granted, would they forego the repeal of the union ?
(Cries of " No, no.") lie approved of the course Sir Robert
Peel was pursuing. What he was doing he was doing well,
and when he considered the opposition that was offered to
him, he thought it was the duty of the Irish representatives
to go to Parliament and support him in carrying out those
beneficial measures.
Mr. O'CONNELL said he quite agreed in the speeches
which had just been delivered by his two friends who had
preceded him. It was true they had the entire of the Pro •
testant population of the north against them, but they
had the entire Catholic population of Ulster with them.—
( Hear, hear.) He was sorry to be obliged to make these
distinctions, but he looked forward to the day when
all parties would be known only as Irishmen.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Porter had expressed his regret that they did not in-
quire first whether the people of England would do them
justice, before they had resolved on the alternative of repeal.
But they had already tried the experiment—it was for that
purpose the Precursor Society was formed.—(Hear, hear )
Did any of those of the north join them then ? They did
but, since they had made their manly declaration of
insisting on the repeal oft he union, many of them had done
so. The schoolmaster, when he found that tufts of grass
would not answer, tried stones; it was so with them—they
had in vain appealed for justice. What hopes of justice
could he expect from the people of England when he beheld
Exeter- hall, and indeed every part of England ring with
calumnies on the Irish people and their religion? Was not
an Irishman nearly torn in pieces the other day merely for
asking who was the publisher of a certain forgery ?—( Hear,
hear.) What was the harm of giving the name of the
publisher, if it were not a forgery? But it was
a forgery, and was sent from. Achill. Sir Robert Peel bad
promised him success; he had declared that this agitation
could not be put down by force. He might deny that asser-
tion, but he could not blind the English mind, or the mind
of Europe. They would have that declaration placed on the
walls of that hall. The declarations of Mr. Macaulay and
Lord Howick, with regard to the Established Church and its I
temporalities, were most significant, and would, no doubt,
tell on the Protestant mind. Sir Robert Peel's measure
with regard to banking he looked upon as excellent;
and, as far as he had considered the matter, the
Bill was admirable. He intended to abolish the oaths
usually taken by Catholic directors, that was just
and fair. The monopoly of the Bank of Ireland was to be
abolished by Peel's Bill, which secured freedom of trade to
bankers, and safety from failure to the public. He thanked
Sir Robert Peel for that measure. The Hon. Gentleman then
proceeded to animadvert on the speech lately delivered by
11.1 r. Macaulay in the House of Commons, which he desig-
nated as insolent and intolerant, and stated that the first
speech delivered by that gentleman in Parliament was in
favour of the Coercion Bill, which he designated as an expe-
rimentum in corpore viii. Last week he was anxious for the
Queen to come to:lreland ; he had a notice on the books of the
corporation in reference to the subject, but his mind had since
undergone an alteration. That alteration was in conse-
quence of the speech lately delivered. He would wish it to
be understood that there neither was nor would be any
shrinking on the part of the people, and for his part he
would declare that he would forfeit his claims to the charac-
ter of a Christian if he relaxed in his efforts to accomplish
that object which would restore happiness and prosperity to
his country.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, Mr. O'Connell
moved the following resolution :—" That the Committee of
the Loyal National Repeal Association be directed to con-
sider what will be the most appropriate manner of receiving
the Queen in case her Majesty should visit Ireland, taking
care that while the greatest respect is paid to our Sovereign,
she may not be allowed to remain in ignorance of the inten-
tion of the Irish people to persevere, under all circumstances,
in their demand for the legislative independence of Ireland.":
After the disposal of some further business, Mr. O'Connell
announced the rent for the week to be 417/. 12s. 11d.
The meeting then adjourned.

STOCK EXCHANGE THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES.
There was a slight rally in the Share market to-day, and
speculators calculate on the speedy subsidence of the " panic"
which prevailed at the close of the past week. Dublin and
Galway, which sunk from 51 to 34 between Friday and Sa-
turday, have again rallied, and were sold freely at 44. A.
further improvement has taken place in the Belfast and Bal-
lymena, Waterford and Limerick, and the Cork and Bandon
lines. Altogether the market bears a better aspect.

The neighbourhoods of Bingham, Hose, Melton Mow-
bray, have latterly had many robberies of an extensive
character committed in them, and it has only been by
the most vigilant and persevering exertions that a dis-
covery has been made which led to the apprehension
and final committal of the Bingham burglars for trial at
the next assizes,. Amongst the mane depredations com-
mitted was one in the early part of the month of March
list; at the house of Mr. John Bailey, draper, at Bing.
ham, when property consisting of silks, satins, waist-
coats, flannels, and other goods, to the amount of
nearly 60/, was stolen and carried away. The thieves
accidentally left behind them an old pocketknife, hav-
ing a remarkable-appearance.- On the police being in-
formed of the circumstances connected with the robbery,
Gillman, an officer, took the knife into his possession,
rand during three weeks used his best endeavours to
find out the owner, but being unsuccessful, he handed it
to Cunningham, a policeman, at Bottesford, to exercise
his judgment and to set his wits to work in discovering
the owner. After untiring exertions Cunningham as-
certained that the knife belonged to Henry Rouse, for-
merly of Hose, but then a soldier at Leicester, and
being determined upon an experiment, he set out to Lei-
cester, where, after diligent inquiry, he contrived to get
into the company of the soldier. Attired as a country-
, man, he sat a considerable time in the room,
.and
then took the knife from his pocket, and began to
pare
,his nails. Rouse, seeing , his old pocket com-
panion, involuntarily exclaimed, " That's mine."
"Is it indeed ?" replied the unknown policeman,
" I should think not, for I have had it a long time."
" You hav'nt," replied Rouse incautiously, and imme-
diately attempted to force the knife out of the hand of
the policeman. Cunningham, fully satisfied with his
discovery, said, " Yes, I know it's your knife, and you
are my prisoner," and at the same time secured his man
with a pair of handcuffs. The soldier was then directly
charged with the burglary. and supposing his accom-
plices had been " splitting" upon him, he resolved to
make terms, if possible, to save himself, and he
at once made a confes ion of the whole affair. In
consequence of his information, Samuel Morrison,
carrier, from Hose and Bingham to Nottingham,
and Richard Sarsten, labourer, of Hose, were taken
into custody, and a large quantity of the stolen pro-
perty was found concealed in the roof of Morrison'*
house, and other portions of it hate been found secreted
in different parts of the village of Hose. The prisoners
underwent examination before the magistrates at When
Mot bray, and afterwards were removed to Bingham,
where, on Thursday last, they were committed to -the
county gaol at Nottingham, for trial at the next assizes.
Morrison has been living in circumstances that raised
him above suspicion, and was considered a respectable
person, but there is reason to believe he has long been
an associate of thieves, and the means of conveying large
quantities of stolen fowls to market from the neighbour-
hood in which he lived, as the farmers have missed
poultry, generally, on the mornings he had to go to Not-
tingham.

TO REMOVE WHITEWASH OR
PAINT FROM STONE AND WOOD.

Much of the beauty, we are able to obtain by well-
executed masonry results from the well-defined forms
of the mouldings, and the sharpness of the arrises. The
effect of Time is rather to chip out at intervals the soft
parts of the stone, than to wear the whole away at an
equable ratio : the general tendency of the lines is un-
broken in the perspective, and the decay rather adds to
the impression which results. But the brush of the
whitewasher mars all that it passes over : for fillets are
substituted rounds, and for mouldings and indents plain
faces, while bosses and similar ornaments become very
much like door-handles. To the paint-brush is
to be attributed the unsatisfactory result of our
modern cement and stucco, scarcely less inferior to well-
executed brickwork than to stone, and having for its in-
evitable consequence a feelinc, of unsatisfaction at its
pretension, and the attempt to deceive. The speedy re-
moval of the whitewash, from which hardly two of our
churches are free, is much to be desired, and the work
is so easy and inexpensive, and the result, with proper
care, likely to prove so very satisfactory, that it ought
to be every where proceeded with. This may be most
easily done by scraping away the outer surface, and then
moistening the part by means of a brush with a mixture
composed of one part of sulphuric acid (oil
of vitriol), and eight or ten of water, and washing
it over with water after every second or third time you
put it on, till you see the stone or wood appear. If,
however, you wish to remove the whitewash from the
remains of a painting on a wall, use soft soap with hot
water, and a brush not too hard. This, done carefully,
will not hurt the painting. Paint is harder to get rid of ;
it may, however, be effectually done with strong soap-
makers' lye, or, what is quite as good, the fol-
lowing liquid :—Put one pound of potash or pearl-
ash, with half a pound of unslaked lime, into a
jar, and pour over it one gallon of boiling hot rain-
water • wash this repeatedly over the surface,
scrubbing off the paint as it becomes softened. Or
you may try this way : take a quarter of a pound of
soda boil it with a little soap in three pints of water till
it al!) mes to a paste, then lay it on till you want to clean,
pretty thick ; two days atter lay it on again, without
washinc, the old away; do this tour times, and then scrub
the whole off, the 'paint will come off too. This does
either for stone or wood. At North Walsham, Norfolk,
a solution of potash and quicklime, in the proportions of
one pound of the former and half a pound of the
latter to a gallon of boiling water, was used
with satisfactory results. The solution, being ex-
tremely caustic, should be used with care, and if the ex-
ternal coating of paint which it may be desii able to re-
move, be thin, diluted with water ; and in all cases the
solution should be tried upon a small portion of the
painted surface. Mr. J. G. Waller, in giving his opinion,
that the paintings found on the walls of churches, and
usually called 4• fresco," are in reality nothing more than
distemper, suggests the use of vinegar for cleaning. It
should be carefully applied with a brush, alternately
with water.—The Builder.

which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10d. per ounce
for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 59 ; and the
exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 771, it follows
that gold is 0.72 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from liamburgh, the price of gold is 436 per
mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 lull ; and
the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 Hi,
it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London than
in Hamburgh.
The course of exchange at New York on London is 1091
per cent. ; and the par of exchange between England and
America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex-
change is 0.18 per cent. in favour of England ; but the quoted
exchange at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight,

Le interest must be added to the above differenCe._

The settlement was the chief business of the railway mar-
ket. It is not a very heavy account on the present occasion,
but money nevertheless fetches high rates of interest. -Dublin
and Galway and Direct Northern experienced severe depre-
ciation, the want of compliance with standing orders having
caused sales. In other respects prices show a tendency down-
wards.
The decree passed on the 19th inst., for the conversion of
the Portuguese Bonds of 1841 into a new permanent Four
per Cent. stock, appears as an advertisement in the journals
of this morning. On the whole it set ins to have met with
the approbation of the parties most interested, as is indicated
by the state of the market; but, otherwise ,a second conver-
sion of a Government stock, brought forward after an interval
of only four years, would be a matter liable to some question
as to its soundness and policy, as, in consequence of this pro-
ceeding, an entire set of new bonds with coupons attached
must be issued, and all the old ones cancelled—a process
which involves considerable expense in itself, as well as a
commission to the parties who manage it, and i 3 almost al-
ways attended with embarrassing circumstances, arising from
the • neglect of many holders to convert in. time,
and the refusal of others to _ convert at all, which
must be dealt with according to -the merits. Some
persons are of opinion, therefore, that it would have
been better for the Portuguese Government to have quietly
waited the gradual increase of the rate of interest under the
conversion of 1841, which would not have reached 4 per
cent. for several years to come, though it would ultimately
be 6 per cent. The present arrangement involves the pay-
ment of 10(1,0001. annually by the Portuguese Government
more than would otherwise have been required, and this,
with a Government certainlaffair in a state of great financial
prosperity, would have been motive for a little further
delay in such a conversion, which could as well have been
accomplished three or four years hence as now. There is
some suspicion, too, of a little stock jobbing at the bottom of
the whole affair, as it is notorious that Portuguese stock did
rise nearly 10 per cent. without any public communication lw
which its cause could be explained, and of w it follows
that some few favoured individuals must have derived the
advantage. We have no reason to doubt the regular pay-
ment of the dividends now created, but certainly Portuguese
onandalall
British
ritthishe
credit would are
stood quite as high without the present
conversion.

•We are glad that Lord Middleton has determined to take advan-
tage of the talents of gentlemen who have been engaged iW so
many undertakings of importance, to employ artisans and la-
bourers, enhance the worth of his own property, and impart addi-
tional attractions to the place. The work, according to Mr
Burton's plan, will consist of an esplanade 2,000 feet in length, on
a new quay in continuation of Mr. Smith Barry's, divided from a
new road by chains, &c.—a crescent and several ranges to be laid
out for new buildings, with provision for terraces, hotels, 'baths,
and all that can contribute to comfort or convenience. We hope
this example may be followed by other proprietors similarly car
cumstanced. Rumour says his Lordship intends to spend 40,0001.

A NEW WAY TO GET 111 DOUBTFUL DEBTS.— A.
good deal of merriment and some little " quizzing" was eleited on
Wednesday last, by the appearance of the following "notice" in
the shop window of Mr. Mottershead, provis'on.dealer,..of East-
gate .street, Chester :—" Mr. grocer, of- F4stgate.street.row,
owes me, Thomas Mottershead, Is. Sd. for two pounds of butter ;
this is to give him notice, that unless he pays very soon, thetlank
will Le filled up with his name in full." OnThursdaian addendum
was made to the following effect :—" Sent use boy to ask for it this
morning—says he is a respectable man, and will not be annoyed—
drove the boy away without paying—does that look like respectrad.

debtor into compliance, as the threat of publishing Ids name bas
not yet been fultilled.—Maccicereki Courier.

THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE FOR MAY.—The
'• Passages in the Lives of Celebrated Statesmen of
Europe," publishing in the New Moi.thly Magazine,
which have attracted so much attention in the political
world, are in the number of that popular periodical for
May, illustrative of the career of that illustrious diplo-
matist, Prince Metternich. It is impossible that a subject
of greater interest could have been found—this great
man being not only the tutelary genius of Austria, but
one of the master-spirits of the age, in whose hands are
the destinies of nations. The author of these clever
papers has evidenly been behind the scenes where,
though kings were the actors, the prompter was a Met-
ternieb, and he afforded the reader glimpses as extraor-
dinary as they are entertaining of the rehearsals for the
important political dramas that have had Europe for a
stage, and the world for an audience. The particulars of
the career of Prince Metternich will be found extremely
interesting, and are believed to contain many startling
incidents and piquant anecdotes hitherto unknown to the
general reader. _
