FEASTING EXTRAORDINARY. -- A laughable and
rather expensive mistake was made by a Portuguese 9111cerin
mouth, the other day, owing to his ignorance of • the English lan-
guage. He had invited a email party of his brother °lacers to dine
with him, and that they might fare sumptuously, be ordered his
landlady to provide twenty legs el mutton. The landiedy remon-
strated with him, saying he must be in error, and even if were
not, it was imOossibleler her to dress such a quantity of meat. Re-
monstrance was, howeeer,.in v.ain. The mutton was purchased;
and for sake otvariety, part et it was roasted, part boiled, sag
baked. At the appointed time the guests arrived, and the .
commenced serving up dinner. When the fifth leg was
into the room, the host was astonished, and said he did not VIM
any mote. ale newer was that there were fifteen legs more in
bring up, and that it was in accordance with his order. An =tai u
cisanocut took place, when it turned out that his wish was to have
twenty sheep's craters Instead of twenty ley of mutton..-Itgesetilb

MAwcaasTra,—There has been a fair home business
done in the hone trade, daring the last and present
weeks.' A great number of buyers from London and
the country have been in town ; but their purchases
have not been sufficiently large to affect the prices of
goods. The demand for exportation continues limited,
and may be expected to continue so while so man* par.
!ideal events conspire to interupt it. We are sorry to
find, by the las! accounts from Brasil, that the demand
for goods there had greatly diminished. As the ship-
ments to that
,ritoirter have been great during the pie.
.sent year, We fear that some late speculations will oat
prove tortunatk. The demand for the low numbers of
yarn for exportation continues to be good. It is chiefly
wanted for Russia; and as the season for exporting thi.
Cher will soon expire, a considerable diminution in the
demand may be expected. The prices of all descrip-
tions of cottoa goods are as low at this moment as it is
remember them ever to have been.
