loomed are was " intervention sod no reheat,"—oow it is "retain and
no intervention." He had lately met with the following narrative in an
ancient chrobkle, which he would, with their leave' relate to them
"A attain gentleman inherited a goodly estate from his Saxon ances,
tors, situated in a pleasant fertile country; his descendants in the
course of time, made considerable additions to it, by their energy and
talent, and increased it to about 500 ACM. It afterwards, however,
devolved to others who had less of those qualities, and were rather
remarkable for a jolly, good•tempered, unsuspicious nature; and the
consequence was that they lost much of their patrimony by the encroach.
ments of their powerful neighbours and by disputes about their bounds.
ries and titles. At length the head of the family, a respectable old gen.
demon, finding family wants increased, and his means diminished, de.
tennined to have his estate surveyed, and be found that he had been de.
spoiled of 300 acres. He was advised to apply to a great house, es.
tablished for the redress of grievances, and particularly of that sort of
which he com pla toed. He therefore repaired to it without delay, but what
was his astonishment and dismay when he saw before him the very men
who had rubbed him and his family of the 300 acres. He how.
ever pleaded his case; the president, Sir Robert (--a foul blot had
eif'aad the name !) addressed him with his usual candour and corn.
mon-place manner, in the following terms :—We commisserate your
situation, though you have nobody to blame excepting yourself. The
three hundred acres you complain of having lost, we have divided
among young men of rising talents, who Gould not have got land any
other way, and who will cultivate it, as we prescribe. on the true old
system, which works well for us, and always has done. You are
dull and stupid, and want discrimination to discover venue
and talent; and worse than all, you have got some newfangled no.
tions from your volatile neighbours, who have been long trying expert.
meats of a very alarming kind. Notwithstanding, we will do some.
thing for you, if you behave well and are sufficiently patient. We have
lately been engaged by a long investigation of a case of delinquency
which has lasted between 4 and 6 years, a few poor people have been
tempted beyond their strength, and at length a case of bribery has
been made out, and confiscaUon will follow of course. Mind! we
do not object to the bribery, but to the detection. We follow the
practice of the Spartans, who taught the boys to steal, but
inflicted severe penalties for being caught. Well ! two eats
were confiscated on this occasion, and we promised that you should
have them; but for reasons best known to ourselves, we transferred
them to the contiguous landowner. However, don't be disheartened ;
we are on the watch for other similar cases, and we do not doubt that
in five years more we shall be able to restore you two tem% ; being
as much distinguished at this house for the minute particularity of our
accounts and estimates, as for our lavish expenditure. We will tell
you the cost, and the me it will require to restore your 300 acres.
The last two acres cost 27,2561. 3s. 4gd. and took five years in time;
now three hundred acres will just cost 3,376,8501. 18s. lid. and the
restoration to be completed in 750 years. The old man threw an in.
dignant glance on the assembly, and retired, saying to himself, I shall
take another course." Mr. D. had one comment to make : the elective
franchise of East lletford was ;risen to the Hundred of Bassetlaw, in-
stead of the Hundred Thousand of Manchester. In condu.ion, he
begged to give a toast,— We have had reforwolion, restoration, rt.
volution;—rosy muse have renovation.
The astonishing number of four hundred and fifty plum stones were
last week extracted from the body of a woman, in Wilmslow, named
Ann Pearson, by Mr. Moore, the surgeon of that place, having it i$
supposed lain in the alimentary canal from the time of her first preg.
nam,y, ten years ago. She bad laboured under great bodily affliction
during the whole of that period, and her complaint had up to the time
of this occurrence, baffled the skill and penetration of all the medical
and surgical gentlemen who had been in attendance upon her.
OXALIC Acin.—With respect to testing between salts and oxalic
acid, the most simple test is by the application of a small portion of the
fluid to a piece of paper which bas been written on. If the writing
becomes aimed, the fluid is poisonous. Oxalic acid will extract the
colour from blue paper if the paper be covered with lytmua, but some
blues resist it; common writing ink, therefore, is the most convenient
teat.

Imo week engineers were engaged in making a survey of the country
between Gainaborough and Grimsby, with the view to a railway which
is contemplated between Manchester and the eastern coast. This great
measure was designed to connect Liverpool and Hull, by way of Shef.
Geld and Gainsborough ; but it is found that the country is so much
snore in the line from Gainsborough to Grimsby, that the
inters is to make the latter town the eastern end of the railway,
with branch ways to Lincoln and other places at the nearest points of
the line.
