EQUIVOCAL COMPLTNIENTS.—CompIiments may be
offered in all sincerity, and yet have a very equivocal sound, as
in the cbse of the City knight unable to aspirate the letter H,
who being deputed to address William the Third, exclaimed,
" Future aces recording your Majesty's exploits will pronounce
you to have been a Nero." Not les,l honest and ambiguous was
the negro's compliment to the great emancipator. Gora-
mighty bless Massa Wilberforce ! He hab a white face, but
he hab a black heart."—New Monthly.
YORK CATImmtAL.—On Thursday last, the great
tenor bell was raised to its position in the 'S.W. tower of our
Cathedral. Its weight is 2 tons, 13 cwt., 3 qrs. We under-
stand that in about a fortnight we may expect to hear its sono-
rous tone—publishing to our ci'izens the hour as they pass.
When it was raised from the ground, the master of the works,
Mr. Dent, struck a blow at it, and the sound was found to be
extremely sweet.—York Courant.
The Journal de Caen says that the gossips of the
town of Pontorson have been lately iu a state of agitation, in
consequence of a strong and heavy chest, bound with iron
clasps, and shut with' padlocks, being found in a house lately
purchased by a M. T. The new propretor, in making
some changes in his acquisition, came accidentally on the trea-
sure-trove—for so the gossips of the town declare it to be.
But the contents of the chest are unknown, except to the owr.er,
who keeps the secret to himself.
