was waited upon the other day by a person who deli-
livers the income-tax papers. The official informed
.‘ There (said he)
our Tory Friend, that if lie did not make a return within
21 days, he would be subject to a heavy penalty. "Oh,

the
take that to your employers; 'and the business is soon
done."—Derby Reporter.
IPswicu.---This borough, which has excited so
much interest of late in an electioneering point of view,
did not escape the- raillery of then merry monarch, Charles
who, upon Out' occasion, as he was passing through
the town, quaintly obsvrvcd to Buckingham that it was
indeed a "strange place," for, "it vas a town withoit
inhabitants, possessed of a river without any water in it,
with streets without names, and that the asses had boots
on." Nor was the King much out of his reckoning ; for
in his time Ipswich was but scantily' populated, and the
river why the tide was out exhibited a very contracted
'channel, w.tilst the town was subdivided into four wards,
the streets not hearing names, and the donkeys, with a
view to browse upon suchfodder as the dikes
aitirded them,
were obliged to traverse the outskirts,
knee-deep in mud, for that purposes so that when the
latter became somewhat dry, and incrusted, the legs of
the animals appeared furnished with mud boots.—Cant-
bridge Chronicle.
The Parisians affect a contempt for Messrs. Howell
and Matthews, because they very properly refused,
although attracting crowded audiences at the Theatre
des Varietes, to perform on Sunday.. This, while it
astonishes our Parisian contemporaries, reflects the
highost-eredit on our countrymen, who,—though they
may for a season leave their native land, refuse to aban-
don its good old customs.—Prumutic Review,
