deputation consisted of Mr. C. P. Grenfell, Sir John
Pine, Bart., Mr. Templeman, Mr. Gibbs, Mr. G. F.

chester; Mr. Linton (master cutler),. and Mr. W. S.

Mr. Aldam, M.P., Mr. Protheroe, M.P., and Mr. Den-
nistoun, M.P. The injury arising to the trade from the
increase of smelting abroad, and the necessity for an im-
mediate repeal of the duty were strongly urged upon the
ministers ; and after a discussion of some duration, in
which the Chancellor of the Exchequer took an active
part, the depptation retired.
OF Two EVILS, CHOOSE THE LEAST.—An Irish wo-
man, who keeps a small fruit stall in the vicinity of Covent
Garden, was asked the other day, by a gentleman purchas-
ing some fruit, how trade was ; when she replied, " Och,
yer honour, I'm sure it's bad enough ; it's myself that's
thinkinrof given' it up, and goin' over to the famine."
It willhe seen by an advertisement in our paper of to-
day. that a grand appollonicon organ will be disposed of,
by subscription, at Mr. Whiteman's Brunswick Hotel.
It is powerful and splendid in tone.—See advt.
NEW.INVENTION.—An exceedingly ingenious and use-
ful apparatus has just been invented for the purpose of
obviating the necessity of damping the leaves or copying-
books with a common brush, which always "prodtices an
unequally moist surface. By this invention the moisture is
most ovally dispensed, and no drying paper is required to
beAmed. It will find its way into every office.
