ADDITIONAL ARTICLE.

The British Commissioners being most anxiously desirous to
manifest the sincerity of their wish for peace, and to make the im-
mediate execution of the fifth Article of this Treaty as little irk-
some, or inconvenient as possible to His Majesty the King of
Ave, consent to the following arrangements with respect to the
division of the sum total, as specified in the Article before re-
ferred to, into instalments, : upon the payment of twenty-
five lace of rupees, or one.fourth of the sum total;
(the other Articles of the Treaty being executed) the
army will retire to Rangoon; upon the future payment of
a similar sum at that place, within one hundred days
from this date, with the proviso as above, the army will
evacuate the dominions of his Majesty the King of Ave, with the
least possible delay ; leaving the remaining moiety of the Firm
total to be paid by equal annual instalments in two years, from
this 24th day of February, 1826, A. D., through the Consul, or
Resident in Ave, or Pegu, on the part of the Honourable the
East India Company.

Various meetings have been held in Dublin
during the last week, on the subject of the famine, and the fever
occagioncd in consequence ; but as the resolutions all tend to the
same end, namely the necessity of providing for the poor, without
doing more than harangue (eloquently, indeed, but ineffectually) on
the'suhject, we refrain from entering into more minute particulars.

THE SARDONIC LAUGH.—" I have seen," gays
Madame de Geniis, " in Dr. Tronchin, an instance of the love of
his art, which made me tremble. It was at the death of M. di
Ptrisiezza. Al. Tronchin was his 1.17440:i5m and intimate friend,
111444eviniler 'fain/eta. 'the
fifth day of his Masao, was conaidtkeetf tiying—bini sense' had left
him ; at throe in the morning. M. Tronchitt, who had nos
quitted him for twenty-four hours, told Madam. dr. Puisieux that
there wee nothing more to be done, and he was going to bed. In
three (latters of en hour I sent to know how he was. I was told
that M. Tronchin bad returned to the room, and was by the bed.
aide. I had now some little hops ; I went into the patient'stoom,
and was seized with horror at seeing the state in which he was.
In his last momenta he had a convulsive laugh ; this laugh was
not loud, but you heard it distinctly and continuously ; and this
fearful laugh, joined to the aspect of death, formed the most
terrible spectacle which the imagination can films. 2t I. Tronchin,
seated by the patient, looked at him holly, and with the utmost
attention. I called him, and asked him if he had still any hope,
as he remained by the side of M. de Puisieux Oh ! Good
God ! no,' said he ; 'but I never witnessed the sardonic laugh ;
and I was glad to have an opportunity of observing it.'"

KILMARNOCK.—We are sorry to remark, that
trade here continues in the most cheerless state; and at the pre-
sent hour there is not the smallest prospect of its being better Sall
trades are nearly upon a level, the carpets excepted. At a time
when almost every clams is suffering so much, it is something
strange that the carpets bare never been at all affected ; the demand
continues as brisk or rather brisker than even it did before, and
not a single farthing has been deducted off the wipe, they being as
high paid as ever. They have been the only standing of the place
this long while hack. Such a drought and scarcity of water has
rather been against the manufactures this season in not getting yarn
spun and dyed so fast as was required. But, in order to remedy
this, an enterprising manufacturer (Mr. William Thomson) has
engaged a steam-mill in order to get yarns forward, and it is at
present going night and d.:y. A large
mill four stories high has
been built this season at Crookedliolnt, for spinning yarns for the
oldest established house here in the carpet line, vie. the Factory.
There is et present in Kilmarnock 576 carpet looms nearly all
working, and, calculating each man to work 6 yards per day,
which is -eery moderate, they would make in whole 3456 yards
per day, or 20,736 per week, 83,944 monthly, and 1,018,272
yearly.— Miaow Courier.

BREAKYA.tas.—The (;reek breakfast was loop
dipped in wine ; the Roman, breed, dates, raisins, hnney or pre-
serves, sometimes a cruet. A etording to Martial, however, to
breakfast wee an effeminacy : be ego, that the baker's cry of
breakfast-cakes was the signal for getting up ; but that no person
ate them, except children, invalids, and effeminate people. With
our ancestor/1 it appears that it was not a usual meal, and they
often lay in bed till dinner-time, which was not later than nine
or ten. The hour in which it was moat 'lewdly taken was, first
seven, and in the course of time, xi lite as eight or nine. In the
fourteenth century, it consisted r bread and wine, boiled bee;
bread, bier, salt fish, butter, sprats; herrings, brawn, mustard, and
malmsey; Edward IV. had loaves made into manchets, or rolls,
almond hiscuit, kitchen grosse (dripping) and ale. Butter and
eggs, or buttered eggs, but more commonly meat, occur in the
time of Elizabeth, as well as a fine beef-ettak broiled, with
a cup of ale at eight, or perhaps nine—Among rattles it con-
sisted of bread and cheese as now; the monks took bread anti a
little wine for the stomach's kite.' In Germany the mutt
breakfast is a small cap of coffee taken at sit n'elock, the break-
faster usually walking up and down, and smoking his everlasting
pipe while he sips. To make up for this slender repast he dines at
twelve, and takes a second dinner at eight.

Mr. JoHN Nv IDGERY'S ToAST.—Tite Puritans
were famous, for lon graces; their descendants, to
America, have transferred their tediousness to their
toasts. We select the following from a list of those
given at a jubilee dinner at Portland (Maine). It
would he delightful to hear the toast-master at the
Crown and Anchor, or London Tavern, attempting
to repeat this eloquent effusion of a Widgery :
" The virtuous, fair, and accomplished Daughters of Colombia.
Born in the land of happy destiny, rocked in the cradle of Liberty.
*duetted in the unbounded freedom of intellectual inquiry ; roam-
ing in the garden of genies and the graces, she gathers from its
imperishable vet-dare the fruits of refinement, on which she ban-
quets in literary luxury. Culling the flowers of 'wit, of mirth.
and of sentiment, she encircles her brow with the chaplet; end
stands arrayed in all the majesty of moral beauty ; that brow.
arched by her smile, beams to us the bow of heavenly promise;
that smile the palladium of prestos Kee, We harbinger of future
joy.
Presented to us by Heaysn's high behest, as the redeeming
,
spirit of humanity, she must cause the heart and eye of every
Onest man among us to overflow with gratitude and wine."--
