MISCELLANEOUS.

In the olden time there was no punctuation in literary
works, which is still the case in legal deeds and other instru-
ments. Stops were first introduced in the year 1520; the
colon in 1580; and the semicolon in 1599.

Colonel Peyronnet Thompson is stated to be about to offer
himself as a candidate for Leominster at the next election.—
Hertford Journal.
NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIBERS.—The printer of an American
paper says that ?natty of his patrons would make good wheel
horses, they hold back so well.
LORD BROUGHAM.— We announce that hopes are now
entertained of the ultimate recovery of Telfer, the person
who drove the carriage when Lord Brougham was killed—
Carlisle Patriot.
CABBAGE.—A large red cabbage was cut on Wednesday
last in the garden belonging to Mrs. Metcalf, at Kirby Lons-
dale, which weighed upwards of twenty pounds. There were
numerous other small cabbages growing on the same stem.—
Preston Pilot.
•
VERY SINGULAR. Mr. James Wright, of Penrith,
coach-builder, has now in his garden a pear-tree in full blos-
som. This tree, contrasted with the other leafless ones in
the garden, and at this cold season of the year, presents a
somewhat singular appearance.—Carlisle Patriot.
Many thousand acres of land are inundated to the depth
of several feet in the neighboarhood of Gainsborough, in con-
sequence of the incessant rains which have fallen. The
marshes and the low lands have the diiPearanee of a sea,
being one continued sheet of water.—Hull Times.
We understand that a meeting of the Edinburgh Protestant
Association is intended to be held in the beginning of next
month, at which the Rev. H. M'Neile of Liverpool, who has
so distinguished himself in the cause of Protestant and Scrip-
edfiCation, and other speakers from a distance, are ex-
pected to be present.--S'iviiiBll Guardian.
AWFULLY FINE WRITING.—The following incomprehen-
sible sentence is copied verbatim from a circular letter issued
by a schoolmaster in Spalding :—" Oblivion ! with all its sar-
castic spleen, can no longer contemn the splendour of the lu-
minary • but like an ripostaeg, shrinks into nothingless, and
labrinths itself into obscurity."
HOUSE PAINTING.—A very simple method has lately been
adopted to render the surface of paint perfectly smooth, and
eradicate the brush marks. It is done by a small roller co-
vered with cloth or felt, about eight inches long and two
inches in diameter, worked in an iron frame on pivots, simi-
lar to the common garden roller. The flattering coat by this
method is made beautifully even, and looks exceeding well.—
Preston Pilot.
A COACHMAN'S COMPARISONS OF GENTILITY.—Perhaps
the follo*irig illustration of a coachman's notions of compa-
rative gentility is worth preserving. It was made by a well
known whip, who sported his " bits o' blood" between Bol-
ton and Manchester, and given in answer to a person who
asked him what he had got inside ?—" A Manchester man,
a Bolton chap, a Wigan fellow, and a Liverpool gentleman."
—Preston Pilot.
HINT TO AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES.—It has been sug-
gested that a certificate, printed on parchment, framed in
oak 'and glazed, should be given to every labourer who has
gained a principal prize. Steil d proof of industry and good
conduct would ornament the cottage of the possessor, and
there is every reason to expect it would stimulate others to a
similar course. The subject was mentioned by the Rev. C.
James, at the Saffron Waldon dinner.--Preston Pilot.
Allusion having been made in this paper last week as to
the probability of Mr. Ewart becoming a candidate for the
representation of the Dumfries district of burghs, we are
now authorised to state that the Right Hon. Sit Alexander
Johnston will have the honour of offering himself to the con-
stituency, on the retirement of General Sharpe, by a disso-
lution of parliament or otherwise.—Dumfries Courier.
Captain Taylor's floating breakwater has been exhibited
at Bodmin before a great number of scientific men with the
most perfect success, its buoyancy and cheapness being an
extra recommendation to it. It has been proved that the
wind does not influence the sea beyond the depth of nine
feet; and as Captain Taylor's floats will reach 18 feet below
the surface, they will ensure smooth water in a harbour of
refuge.—Exeter Flying Post.
FAGGOT VOTES.—Sir Gilbert Heathcote divided a field at
Langham into fifty-seven life-rents to as many men, all of
whom claimed to be registered to vote, and were placed on
the county list. The revising barrister has just given a writ-
ten opinion against their right to be on the list, considering
that the life-rents were made for the purpose of manufacturing
votes,-and has therefore expunged the names of the whole of
them.—Lincoln Chronicle.

THE HoN. E. M. LL. MosTYN.—We regret to state that
this esteemed gentleman had another accident a few evenings
ago. He was proceeding to his dormitory at Bodysgallan,
and fell on the stairs. He fell with his thigh against the edge
of one of the stairs, the part being close to the recent frac-
ture. He was not seriously hurt, but it will retard his re-
covery.—The demise of Sir T. S. M. Champneys liberates
the Peckforton, Beeston, Parkgate, &c., &c., property, which
now falls under the direct controul of the hon. gentleman,
subject to Lady Champney's life interest, an event that the
tenants will hail with satisfaction.—Chester Chronicle.
THE COUNTY CONSTABULARY ACT.—Unless a charter
is obtained for making Warrington a municipal borough,
within two years from the close of the last parliamentary
session, the whole of the police establishment, now under
the direction of the commissioners appointed under an act
of parliament for building a new bridewell, And improving
and watching the town, will be placed, like the rural district,
under the charge of the county magistracy. According to
the present population, twelve policemen will then have to
be appointed, to do the duty now very satisfactorily performed
by three policemen, and the deputy constable.—Preston
Pilot.

PORT OF FLRETWOOD.—The Commissioners from the
Court of Exchequer, sent down for the purpose of surveying
and setting out the boundaries of the Port of Fleetwood,
finished their task yesterday se'nnight. They commenced
on the previous Monday to survey the coast and creeks be-
tween Preston and Lancaster, and determined the limits of
the port as follow :—to conimehce at a ruff of water called
the Hundred End, about two miles to the west of Hesketh
Bank, continuing up to Preston,_ thence along the coast on
the north side of the river to, Lytham, round the coast to
Blackpool, and on to Fleetwood. Thence to the river Broad-
fleet, four miles from Sea Dyke, including both sides of the
Wyre, and the river Broadfleet.—Mid.

ACCURATE OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.—Mr. Gurdon, of
the Norfolk circuit, has been appointed Recorder of Ipswich,
vacated by the elevation of Sir R. M. Rolfe to the bench.—
Globe. [One of the Commissioners of Bankruptcy, who bears
the name of Charles Frederick Williams, must be a little sur-
prised at this piece of intelligence, he having been for many
years Recorder of Ipswich, which Sir R. Rolfewas not. The
Recordership of Bury St. Edmunds has indeed been given by
Lord Normenby to Mr. Gordon, whom we mentioned as one
of the candidates some time ago, but the Home-Secretary did
not venture to give even this small bit of preferment away
until he had prevailed on Mr. Maltby to disembarrass the
Government by withdrawing his claim, which that learned
gentleman did, and, thereby, it is thought, saved the Go-
vernment from another serious shock !]—Morning Herald.

STARTLING FACTS !—The late three years' war with Eng-
land, the most powerful nation in the world, cost the United
States about 90,000,000 dollars. The three years' war in
Florida, with a remnant tribe of Seminole Indians and a few
runaway negroes, has cost us 40,000,000 dollars, or nearly
half the expense of our war with England ! In the war with
England, our navy and army, after covering themselves with
glory, achieved an honourable peace. The war against the
miserable Indians and negroes was wickedly commenced,
has been ingloriously conducted, and threatens to be inter-
minable ! There is not, in the history of wars among civilised
nations, a parallel for the wantonness, imbecility, and cor-
ruption which distinguish this humiliating, dishonourable,
and infamous crusade.—New York Paper.

PRIESTLY TYRANNY—THE CONFESSIONAL.—In the early
part of the year, a lady of this town hired as her servant a
young woman of the Romish persuasion, with the clear un-
derstanding that the girl was to join in family prayers and
the reading of the holy scriptures. The terms were complied
with accordingly for a considerable period „without reluctance
or difficulty of any kind, till the day of confession arrived.
It then became known to the priest that the girl had been
guilty of the•heinous crime of joining in Protestant prayers
and reading the Bible, and straightway she was strictly en-
joined to discontinue both, being further commanded to
leave her place if her mistress insisted on the fulfilment of
the original contract. The mistress did not feel it convenient
to part with a good servant, and, of course, Mother Church
has had her will.—Preston Pilot.

A DEFINITION OF DRUNKENNESS.—On Monday, at the
Town-hall, during the hearing of one of the charges of drun-
kenness, the accused person denied the allegation of having
sacrificed too freely to the jolly god, on which the following
colloquy took place between the mayor and the constable,
who was the witness. Mayor :—" Arc you sure he was
drunk ?" Constable :—" Not regular drunk" Mayor :
` Was he drunk ?" Constable :—" Gradely." Mayor :
" Was the man drunk or sober ?" Constable :—" Neither."
Mayor :—" What then "' Constable :—" Sharp fresh ;
well, so fresh that he did not know what he was doing, but
not regular drunk." On this elaborate definition of inebria-
tion the bench seemed somewhat puzzled how to act, and
the defendant, who admitted the allegation of "fresh," but
indignantly repudiated the accusation of. " drunkenness,"
was reprimanded, and liberated on payment of costs.—Pres-
ton Chronicle.

THE NEW CUSTOM HOUSE AT GLASGOW.—The building
intended for the Custom House of Glasgow is nearly finished,
and will probably soon be ready for furnishing and internal
arrangements. The barricade is removed from the front, and
the spectator has now a full view of the exterior. We are not
yet aware exactly of the extent of accommodation within ;
but, from the outward appearance it seems limited, when the
vast amount of business done at the harbour is taken into
consideration. The building is very plain, and upon the whole
shabby ; but that, of course is not the fault of the citizens or
the architect, the goverment being the parties at whose re-
sponsibility it, is erected. The absurd figures on the top will
shortly be removed, and be replaced'by the royal arms, the
cutting of which is nearly completed, and seems to be in a
style creditable to the taste and ability of the artist.—Glas-
gow Courier.

DISTRESS IN PAISLEY.—The number of unemployed wea-
vers in connection with the trade of Paisley, is still on the
increase. In the country, we understand, this is fully as
much the case as in the town. In the village of Kilbarchan,
for instance, we have been informed, nearly one half of the
weavers are idle. A second meeting of the business classses
in Paisley was convened in the Court-hall, on Monday, to
hear the report of the committee as to their inquiry into the
state of the unemployed. Though from four to five hundred
had been invited, only about a dozen or fifteen persons at-
tended, and from the inquiry of the committee it appeared
that there were only about a hundred men applying for relief
who were entitled to receive it. From that circumstance,
and the thinness of the meeting, it was considered unadvi-
sable to proceed with a public subscription, and that in the
meantime, the managers of the poor should be recommend-
ed to assist the families of those in want.—Scottish
Guardian.

TIIE MARQUIS OF WESTMINSTER.—It is not generally
known that this patriotic nobleman stands higher in the scale
of church building, and the education of children in the
principles of the established church, than any other noble-
man in the kingdom. His church patronage in Cheshire,
Flintshire, and Denbighshire is very great. The noble mar-
quis built the family church, Eccleston, near Eaton, in the
cathedral gothic style, at a cost of nearly £12,000, and has
lately presented to it a very fine picture of " The Dead
Christ." He lately built the church of Pulford, at the cost
of £4,000, designed by Mr. Jones, a citizen of Chester; and
has subscribed very largely to numerous others. The fine
old church of Northop he lately gave £lOO towards rebuild-
ing the body of, and also all the stone from a quarry close at
beinghand, ,
the same quarry that his lordship's castle at
Halkin, in Flintshire, was built from. His lordship has
schools for boys and girls at Chester, Eccleston, Aldford,
Poulton, Pulford, Dodleston, and Halkin, where from 1600
to 1700 children are educated on the most improved princi-
ple, and the major part of them are clothed. The noble
marquis attends very often the various schools, and takes
great interest in the same. Family prayers are read every
morning by his lordship's chaplain, the Rev. G. Edwards, in
the family chapel, Eaton, at a quarter before ten, and every
Sunday evening. The whole of this very large establishment
attend very regular. The noble marquis is klown to be very
tolerant to all classes of religionists. He is rebuilding all
the cottages at Eccleston and Aldford in the most picturesque
style, and, when completed, they will form two of the
prettiest villages in the kingdom. His lordship's agent has
the management of all the alterations in both cottages and
farm houses.—Chester Chronicle.
