Novst. More OF " 001110 TO WAR."--The
vehicle in which the Duke of Orleans and Nemours took
their departure from Paris for the field of battle was of a
very uncouth construction, and certainly not much like the
equipage which Raglish Dukes Royal would have put their
bodies and baggage Into, though, prebaNy, far more ap-
propriate. It is an immense maAine, something like an
omnibus, and was drawn by six hones, three abeam, it
le divided into three compartatatte; the first of which was
occupied by the Dukes and their Aides-de-Camp; the se.
rood formed a bed-room, and the third was ta kitchen.
which contained a servant of all work, and a very modes:

is one who pays promptly, and does what he conveniently
can to advance the interest of the paper he takes. The
first be will do to form self-interest, for if pay the
printer once a year, he saves himself from the mortifi.
cation of a dun, and at the same time enables the
man of type to devote his time and talents to the
concerns of his office, instead of borrowing money, writing
duns, and fretting and scolding about hard times to the un.
avoidable neglect of his more appropriate duties. He always
consults his own interest, pleasure, and profit, by using his
influence to extend the circulation of his favourite papa
among his neighbours, and by promoting its success in va.
dons other ways. By so doing, he enables the minter to
make useful and permanent improvements in his weekly
sheet, which he could not do with a stinted circulation and
its attendant embarrassments. This is a slight and hasty
portraiture of " • good subscriber," and it gives us pleasure
