A Wriro.---Whig was doubtless first used in Scotland, and
applied to the supposed sourness and ascetic, temper of the
religious dissenters. To whiy, in the northern counties of
England, as well as in Scotland, means to turn a thing acid;
. thus, if you pour milk upon ruin, and do it so slowly or so un-
skilfully as to coagulate the mixture, you are said " to whip it.

THE Jaws.—Among the patent. rolls in the tower of London
are many which bear a particular relation to the history of the
Jews in the middle ages, at least, as to their residence in Eng•
land. Henry 111., by a patent iu his fourth year, granted to
Elizabeth, the daughter of Rabbi Meysis, the bishop of the
jews, as he is called in the record, will had lately been converted,
one penny a day.- In his 36th year Henry founded the Damns
CoriversorHin, in Chancery-lane, when the Roll' chapel was built.
for converted jaws. This foundation was much encouraged by
his son..ss who. iu the eighth year of his reign, ordered • that the
Friars Benehers, shourd make it a principal business to preach
for their conversion,
Loxon.N.rasTueetce.—The ordinary business of each 1.13,v.:
is, in letters, in the inland office alone, 354X/0 letters received,
and 40,0 Xt sent (23,475,000 annually) exclusive of the numbers
in the foreign-office department and the ship-letter-office, and
altogether indepeudent of the twopenny-post. The numbers of
newspapers daily vary from 25,000 to 60,000 (on Sunday 40,000,
anti en Monday 50,00), of which number about 20,000 are put
into the office ten minutes before six o'clock. After that hour
each newspaper is charged one halfpenny, which yields a reve-
nue of upwards of £5OO a year, and of which 210000 news-
papers are annually put into the office front six toga quarter
before eight o'clock. • The revenue derived from charges for
'early delivery in London is £4OOO, and the sum obtained by the
charge of Id. on each letter given to the postmen who go round
with bells to collect the letters, is £3OOO a year, giving 720,000,
or nearly WOO tlailv. The revenue of Loudon is £6OOO a week,
above £300,000 a Year; and yet, of all this vast annual revenue,
there hasonly been lost by defaulters £2OO in twenty-five years.
The franks amount in a morning to 4or 5000, or more. News-
papers can only be franked for foreign parts to the first port at
which the mail arrives; after this they are charged postage ac-
cording to.their weight, in consequence of which an English
daily newspaper costs in St. Petersburg £4O sterling per annum.
