SCINTILL.E.

A comic poem, just published, contains the following stanzas :.
Poor fallen Charles I—we pity him,
And own his fate is sore ;
The X that stood behind his name
Is placed, alas! before.
And they who called him Charles the Tenth
Hare learnt to look askance,
And now address him by the name
Of X King Charles of France !
Voltaire had a figure of Cupid placed in the hall of h:
house, with this motto—

"Qui quo to sob, void ton maitre,
Il Pest, le fat, on le dolt etre:"
which rauts,thus rendered into English--
a you be, that look on this plaster,
LOTS is, Of once was, or Mee will be, your master.
Pvw VPON Puw.—Cabri ant lait, a kid dressed in milk,
N pronounced in the same manner as the word Cabriolet, a light
; whence the punsters at Paris give to a superior carriage
:rie
this kind, the name of Cabria la Creme ; a kid dressed in
cream.

" Why don't you wheel that barrow of coals, Ned ?''
quoth a learned vendor of black diamonds to his man ; ee it is not a
very bard job : there is an ins:lW plane to relieve yrou."—" Ay,
Muter," replied Ned, who bad more relish for wit than work, the
" pfsnsessay be iaeliasd, mayhap, but hang me if I em."
PILTDDING.—A correspondent, who is curious in trifles,
wishes to know whether the old custom of eating pudding before meat
at dinner still prevails b, any part of this country ? Vs—in Norfolk
and Cambridge.
SWEET-HEAS.II24O.—A girl named Knott, who had im-
posed herself on the family of Mr. Lightfoot, at Camberwell, was de-
tected, a few days ago, robbing her mistress of a sovereign ; and on her
box being examined, a dressing case and other articles, of the value of
301. was found in it. Among the property belonging to the girl herself,
was a letter from a sweetheart, containing very zealous assertions of
eternal fidelity, and ending with a broad hint foe a supply of cash ; with
which, it appears, he was not so well stored as with love and duty. If we
could hope that these nymphs of low degree would attend to our admo.
skim, we would impress on them a rule without one exception, that a
sweetheart who asks for money, or for pudding, is certain to fly off the
moment the money gets scarce or the pudding gets cold.
A DINNER-Bzu..—The suggestion of Mr. Hume, in the
House of Commons, that there should be a regular dinner-bell for the
use of the members at a particular hour, reels to recollection that there
have been already dinner-bells in that house, in the person of Mr.
Burke, towards the end of his career, and afterwards in that of his ex-
ecutor, Dr. Lawrence. The latter held the office for a considerable pe-
riod, though there is no record of any acknowledgment of it on his pan.
Let us not be understood to anticipate that the honourable member for
Middlesex is likely to be his successor; nor do we for a moment sup.
pose that he aspires to such an honour. We arc, however, much
=led, when the obviously incomplete nature of his proposition was
by Mr. Brougham, namely, the having a bell to summon the
members to dinner, without suggesting one for calling them back again,
that Mr. Hume did :not offer himself a candidate for the latter office,
especially as he had previously declared, that it was perfectly indifferent
to him whether he dined or not. Dr. Johnson said, that a man who
did not are about his dinner, did not care for any thing ; but probably
Mr. Hume is of opinion, that to sit dinnerkss in the House, enabler
him the more clearly to understand what is passing. Perhaps the next
proposition may be, to provide a certain number of nigliimpe in a
similar manner as cocked hats are kept in another place, for c4C3-
&lona use.

Tuesday evening week, a Court Martial was held in Co-
mentry, on two privates belonging to the 80th Rifle Regiment, which
passed through Coventry on their march to Carlisle. One of them was
charged with selling his ammunition, and the other with having stolen
51. from hie comrade • they were both found guilty, and received 300
lashes each on wedne;day morning...-Coeentry Herald.

throughout this part of the country, in a very unsettled stew, 11106 t
particularly so the colliers,who have, in most instances. obtained an
advance of 100 per cent. nd in one or two cases, 150 per cent. This,
of course, has been followed by a corresponding advance in coals,
which, upon an average, in Manchester, are 60 per cent. higher.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—Two persons, named Guy and
Warren, residing at Carn.glassin, in the parish of st. Just, and who
