A meeting of the leading conservatives of Wcolwich was
held at Charlton on Saturday, when it was determined to
support Admiral Sir G. Cockburn, BEirt. in conjunction with
Mr. Wolverley Attwood, M.P. at the next election. A pre-
liminary subscription amounting to nearly £lOOO was made
for the purpose of defraying the usual expenses.
A DINNER Two HUNDRED YEARS AGO.—Home from
my office to my lord's lodgings, where my wife had got ready
a very fine dinner, viz., a dish of marrow bones ; a leg of
mutton ; a loin of veal; a dish of fowl, three pullets, and a
dozen of larks, all in a dish ; a great tart ; a neat's tongue ;
a dish of anchovies; a dish of prawns and cheese.—Pepys'
Diary.
TUNNEL THROUGH THE ALPS.—M. Vanino Volta, the
engineer of Como, who, in conjunction with M. Bruschetti,
of Milan, obtained, in 1837, from the Austrian government;
a privilege of 50 years for the construction of a railroad be-
tween Milan and Corno, is now negotiating with the Swiss
cantons of Grisons and St. Gall. an enterprise which would
vie in magnitude with the Thames tunnel, viz., the piercing
through the Grisons Alps. impressed with the commercial
importance of the passage of the Splugen, and, at the same
time, with the various obstacles which it presents, he thinks
it posiible to pierce through that mountain, and establish,
in the passage thus effected, a railroad, the northern portion
of which would end either at Wallenstadt, or even at Scho-
merckon, on the Lake of Zurich, and the southern should:
be connected with the Como and Milan railroad. M. Volta,
reckoning that 30 years will he requiredto execute the works,
deMands an exclusive privilege of 100 years, with liberty to
establish companies, in order to procure funds, or to transfer
his privilege to other parties.—Mechanica' Magazine.
A ROYAL MARRIAGE SPEECH.—Among many instances
of the great change of manners which 170 years have pro-
duced in England, perhaps few are more striking than the
difference between the style of past and present speeches
from the throne. Those of Charles the Second, iu an age
scarcely thought less witty than their own, have a familiarity,
a bluntness, and a homeliness, which make them sound
oddly in our ears. The following is from Charles's speech,
at the opening of his second parliament in 1661 :—" I will
not conclude without telling you some news—news that I
think will be very acceptable to you and therefore I should
think myself unkind and illnatured if I did not impart it to
you.. I have been put in mind by my friends that it was
now time to marry, and I have thought so myself ever since
I came into England. But there appeared difficulties
enough in the choice, though many overtures have been
made to me • and if I should never marry until I could
make such a Choice, against which there could be no fore-
sight of any inconvenience that may ensue, you would live
to see me an old bachelor, which I think you do not desire
to do. I can now tell you, not only that I am resolved to
marry, bnt to whom I ain resolved to marry. If God please,
it is with the daughter of Portugal. * *
And I will make all the haste I can to fetch you a Queen hi-
ther, who I doubt not will bring great blessings with her to
me and you. In the same session Charles finished one of
his speeches thus .—" The mention of my wife's arrival puts
me in mind to desire you to put that compliment upon her
that the entrance into the town may be with more decency
than the ways will now suffer it to be ; and to that purpose
I pray you would quick despatch and pass such laws as are
before you, in order to the amending of those ways, in order
that she may notfind Whitehall surrounded with water.—
Morning Herald.

THE MISERIES OF A CORPULENT LADY AT SEA.-Our
cabin has two boxes in it called births ; tho' coffins would
be nearer the thing, for you think more of your latter end at
sea a great deal. One of these is situated over the other like
two shelves, and these together make what they call a state
room. What would they think at the real palace of such a
state-room as this—of just a closet and no more, for the
Queen and her mother to sleep in—and no dressing-room
nor nothing—but you shall hear all. My birth is the upper-
most one, and I have to climb up to it, putting oue foot on
the lower one, and the other away out on the washhand-
stand, which is a great stretch and makes it very straining—
then I lift one knee on the birth and roll in sideways. This
is very inconvenient to a woman of my size and very dan-
gerous. Last night I put my foot on Mrs. Brown's face, as
she laid asleep close to the edge of the lower one, and nearly
put out her eye ; and I have torn all the skin of my knees,
and then 'I have a large black spot where I have been hurt
and my bead is swelled. To dismount is another feat of
horsemanship only fit for a sailor. You can't sit up for the
floor overhead; so you have to turn round, and roll your
legs out first, and then hold on till you touch bottom some-
where, and then let yourself down upright. It is dreadful work,
and not very decent for a delicate female, if tbe steward hap-
pens to come in when you are in the act this way. I don't
know which is hardest, to get in or get out a birth—both are
the most difficult things in the world, and I shall be glad
when I am done with it. lam obliged to dress in bed
afore I leave it, and nobody that hasn't tried to put on their
clothes lying down, can tell what a task it is. Lacing stays
behind your back, and you on your face nearly smothered
with the bedclothes, and feeling for the eyelet hole with one
hand, and trying to put the tag in with the other, while you
are rolling about from side to side is no laughing mat
matter. Yesterday I fastened on the pillow to my bustle by
mistake in the hurry, arid never knew it till peopie laughed,
and said the sea agreed with me, I had grown so fat; but
putting on stockings is the worst, for there aint room to stoop
forward; so you have to bring your foot to you, and
stretching out on your back, lift up your leg till you can
reach it, and then drag it on. Corpulent people can't do
this so easy, I can tell you. It always gives me the cramp,
and takes away my breath. You would pity me, if you could
conceive, John ; but you can't—no, nobody but a woman
can tell what a female suffers being confined in a birth at sea.
—The Bag of the Great Western.

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS' KITCHEN.—On the evening

of the Canada Debate I was invited by an honourable Mem-
ber to dine in the Members' Room, attached to the House
having been highly amused with the style of doing things in
the refectory of the Commons, perhaps a description may
not be uninteresting. There are three rooms, the innermost
of which is styled, by way of distinction, the Kitchen : in
this, as most humble, it is considered most fashionable to
dine, and therefore it is more frequented than the others.
These rooms and their furniture are of the most simple and
homely description ; the chairs arc of oak, very plain, and
the tables (each of which will accommodate six persons) are
of white pine, unpainted. The only dishes served hot . are
beef-steaks and mutton-chops; they are cooked at one end of

‘a bottle cork doing duty for a stopper

things about it, there seemed an attempt to cheat one into a
belief, that he was seated in a clean comfortable, quiet inn,
in some remote country village.
w, h
ence he might draw a
contrast between his plain, but hot and excellent dinner, and
the luxurious profusion of a London fashionable entertain-
ment. Opposite me sat Gisborne, the member who had

bedaubing his face with it while waiting for a
steak. On my left was D'lsraeli, the author of Vivian Grey
and member for Maidstone, with his singular head, and long
j.e.t, black hair hanging profusely' over his Micmac face, quietly
discussing a mutton-chop. Our steak was just coming on
the board when a sharp-toned bell rung violently, and in an
instant the members rushed out of the eating-room into the'
House—it was the speaker's bell, and the signal a division.
All left' except D'lsraeli lin& i staid Scotch tfiember with
whom I believe he paired off for the occasion. It was the
final decision on the Canada Bill, and in a few minutes the
members returned to their dinners, laughing and joking as if
