THE NEW FeCToner A-CT, to regulate the employment
of children in factories will come into operation on
Thursday. No child is to be employed before six o'clock
in
the morning, nor after six in the afternoon, nor after
two o'clock Ong, nor
afternoon. There is, however,
power given to employ children in the hours between
seven in the morning arid. seven in the evening, from the
30th of September to the Ist of April, under certain
regulations.
Rocie Pennee.—Some vagabonds have latterly been
amusing themselves by throwing the caps off the stone
Pillars et gate-Pots in Rock-park and the neighbourhood—
a practice now becoming of nightly occurrence. A reward
of £25 has been offered for the apprehension of the parties
eng•aged in this nocturnal amusement, and, should they
be discovered, they will, doubtless, be taught that the
PerPetrators of such wanton mischief eventuallY find
themselves taking' exercise on the treadmill.
A VERY QUESTIONABLE CHRONOLOGICAL CHART or
CHBISTIANITy has, it seems, been extensively hawked
about among the members and friehas of Protestant
truth, piirporting to be compiled by an individual named
4_'llv,,i'd Poster. The attention of the Scottish Rthrrna-
'en Society having been directed towards the publication
in question, that body appointed a committee to examine
the current and report on it. The report bears, that
the chart in question includes, as of equal authority with
the divine oracles, several statenaents which appear only
in the Apocrypha ; and incluaee many of the most perm-
lifts dogmas inculcated by the llomish Church. protes-
tants ought, therefore, to be on their rd.
