VARIETIES

The editor of the New York Dispatch and Tattler has been
sued for a libel by a lawyer whose conscience he had compared
to boiler iron. The suit ought to have been brought by the
iron.

DRAMATIC LONGEVITY.—Madame Lange, the sister-in-
law of Mozart, for whom he composed many parts, is still
upon tie stage of Vienna, and lately acted to celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of her debut. A Mr. West, who was a
dancer with Garrick nearly seventy years ago, lately took a
benefit at the same theatre.

I have remarked, and Gil Blas' mother did the same thing,
that women generally bear a great dislike to their sons' wives.
This is the more remarkable, as they are almost always fond
of their sons-in-law. Can any person explain the why and
the wherefore of these singular facts 1-2lf umiak.
DRAMATICS.--Old Wewitzer was joking and laughing at
rehearsal, instead of minding the business of the scene.
Raymond, who was stage-manager, took him to task for this,
and said, " Come, Mr. Wewitzer, I wish you would pay a
little attention." " Well, sir," answered Wewitzer, "so I
am ; I'm paying as little as I can."
A shopkeeper in Piccadilly, determined to astonish the
world, had put up a motto from Euripides over his window.
Bannister happened to be passing with Porson. " That is
Greek," said Bannister. " What ! are you acquainted with
Greek ?" asked the professor, with a laugh. " I know it by
sight," was the reply.

THE SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD.—A warehouseman, in
Wood-street, Cheapside, London, wrote the other day to a
correspondent in the country, requesting him to send up a
pattern of a chintz which he had previously forwarded to
him. The answer he received in return was as follows :
" Sir, my clerk has took and bin and gone and lost it."
A silver coin, of Titus, was found in the rubbish of an old
house, which was lately pulled down in Eastgate-street, in
the city of Chester. In digging the foundation for the new
building, a pavement was discovered at about 8 feet below
the present level of the street. This gives strength to the
prevalent opinion, that the level of the city was originally
that of the floor of the ancient cathedral, to which persons
have now to descend by several steps.
A new arithmetical table has just been published. It is
extremely correct, and contains several very valuable minute
divisions of time, which have been found necessary, in con-
sequence of the extreme velocity' at which we were going
ahead. The following is the new method, viz. :-50 slicks,
1 idea ; 20 ideas, 1 notion ; 60 notions, 1 calculation ; 2 cal-
culations, 1 guess ; 4 guesses, 1 probability; 2 probabilities,
1 second ; 60 seconds, 1 minute.—Connecticut Athencruni.
CAPITAL OF GREAT BRITAIN.—The grand total capital
represented by all property in Great Britain and Ireland is
estimated at £3,620,000,000. The value of all sorts of pub-
lic property is £103,000,000. The value of lands, ships,
canals, railroads, mines, horses, timber, crops, &c., is esti-
mated at £2,945,000,000. The value of all sorts of furni-
ture, apparel, plate, specie, money in chancery, savings
banks, &c., is estimated at £580,000,000. The national debt
is about £764,000,000.

THE IRISH AND SCOTCH.—" I canna say that 1 dinna
like whiskey toddy," said the doctor ; " in the cauld winter
nights it's no sae bad." "Ah ! that's it," said Power ;
" there's the pull you Scotch have upon us poor Patlanders ;
cool, calculating, long-headed fellows, you only come up to
the mark after 15 tumblers; whereas we, hot-brained devils,
with a blood of 212 degrees of Fahrenheit and a high pressure
engine of good spirits always ready for an explosion—we go
clean mad when tipsy ; not but I am fully convinced that a
mad Irishman is worth two sane people of any other country
under heaven ."—Charles O'Malley, No. 6.
A CHINESE DANDY.—Many persons have supposed, who
only know the Chinese superficially, that a nation so grave,
so sedate, and so monotonous, cannot include either fops or
bon vivants. They are, however, mistaken ; few countries
possess more of those worthies than China, though perhaps
their talents are not carried to so great an excess as in other
parts of the world. The dress of the Chinese petit maitre is
very expensive, being composed of the most costly skins or
carpets ; his boots or shoes are of a particular shape, and
are made of the richest black silk of Nankin, the soles are of
a certain height ; his knee-caps are elegantly embroidered ;
his cap and button are of the neatest cut ; his pipes elegant
and high-priced ; his tobacco of the best manufacture of Fo-
kieq ; an English gold watch, a toothpick hung at his but-
ton, with a string of valuable pearls ; a fan from Nankin,
scented with chulan flowers. Such are the appointments of
a Chinese dandy.
SINGULAR JEWISH CUSTOM.—Burkhardt in his " Travels
through Syria, &c, informs us that at Tiberias, one of the
four holy cities of the Talmud, the Jews observe a singular
custom in praying. While the rabbi recites the Psalms of
David, or the prayers extracted from them, the congregation
frequently imitated by their voices or gestures the meaning
of some remarkable passages ; for example, when the rabbi
pronounces the words " Praise the Lord with the sound of
the trumpet," they imitate the trumpet's blast through their
closed fists. When " a horrible tempest " occurs, they puff
and blow to represent a storm ; or, should he mention " the
cries of the righteous in distress," they all set up a loud
screaming ; and it not unfrequently happens that while some
are still blowing the storm, others have already began the cries
of the righteous, thus forming a concert which it is difficult
for any but a zealous Hebrew to bear with gravity.
TRANSPOSITION.—The number of varied arrangements
which a given number of articles will admit of is astonishing,
and the astonishment increases as the number of articles
to be ♦aried in arrangement is increased, because the ar-
rangements do not bear the same proportion in one case to
the number to which they belong as they do to their number
in another case. The numbers of articles 1,2, 3,4, 5,6, 7,
8,9, 10, admit of the varied arrangements respectively of 1,
2,6, 24, 120, 720, 5040, 40,320, 362,880, 3,628,800. Who
would believe that ten volumes of a book are capable of three
million, six hundred and twenty-eight thousand, eight hun-
dred varied arrangements ? Such is the fact. The rule foi'
finding the number of varied arrangements belonging to a
given number of articles is this :—.Multiply the given num-
ber of articles to be transposed by itself less one, and that
product by the last multiplier less cue, and so on till two has
been the multiplier, and the result is the answer.

TILE GREAT RECOINAGE OF 1690.—.-Clipping and false
coining had for some time been carried on to an alarming ex-
tent and at length aroused the attention of parliament, who
appointed a committee to inquire into the abuse. The com-
mittee recommend a general recoinage as a remedy for the
evil, when their recommendation was debated in the house,
and finally adopted. The great coinage occupied nearly four
years, and was completed in 1699. The total amount of
silver coined was—in the Tower Mint, £5,091,121 7s. 7d. ;
in the country mints, £1,791,787 12s. ; total £6,882,908 19s.
7d. The Mint charges amounted to £179,431 Gs., and the
charges and the consequent losses are supposed to have been
equal to £2,700,000. In our own time the extensive coin-
ages in the Royal Mint from the year 1816 to 1822 amounted
to £7,402,236 Ils. 6d.—Akerman's Numismatic Manual.

THE GREAT WHITE EGRET.—A splendid specimen of this
very rare bird was shot by Mr. Martin on Tyningham Sands,
on the 9th June, and is the only individual of this species ever
obtained in Scotland. Although the species is mentioned by.
all writers on British birds, it does not appear that any of
them ever saw a specimen procured in this country, or that
any exists in our museums. It is said to be. abundant in
some of the southern and western parts of Europe, but in the
eastern and northern to be of very rare and merely accidental
occurrence. In size it exceeds the common heron, although
of a more slender form ; its plumage is pure white, and the
elongated filamentous plumes of the back extend about two
inches beyond the end of the tail.

ARCHITECTURE OF LONDON.-At the present time it is
extremely difficult to trace the domestic architecture of Lon-
don through its different eras, as the fire in the time of
Charles almost totally destroyed the city; perhaps the most
ancient specimens now remaining are the ecclesiastical lodg-
ings belonging to Westminster Abbey in Dean's Yard ; they
are hardly in point; yet we think there are no others to be
found. They were in existence before the year 1336, as
Abbot Lettingen, who built them, died in that year. The
windows are small and pointed, and in this they are different
from those till lately on the western side of Westminster
Hall, built by Richard 11., which were of brick, and were
the oldest specimens of the employment of that material in
England, certainly in London. From the time of Richard
11. brick buildings continned to increase. In the reign of
Henry VII. the style of architecture became so expensive,
through the fashion of excessive ornament, that it could go

JAMES THN FIRST AND TUN MAYOR or LONDON.—
I good story is related of James the First and one of the
Lord Mayors, in reference to the prosperity of the twin cities,
and which, for its happy quiet laudation of the Thames, it
would be unpardonable to omit. James being in want of
twenty thousand pounds, applied to the corporation of Lon-
don fur a loan of that sum. The corporation refused, upon
which the king, in high dudgeon, sent for the Lord Mayor
and some of the aldermen, and, rating them in severe terms
for their disloyalty, insisted upon their raising the money for
him. " Please your majesty," said the Lord Mayor, "we
cannot lend you what we have not got." " You must get
it," replied the king. "We cannot," said the Lord Mayor.
—" I'll compel you," rejoined the king. " But you cannot
compel us," retorted the Lord Mayor. "No !" exclaimed
the king; " then I'll ruin your city for ever. I'll make a
desert of Westminster. I'll remove my courts of law, my
parliament, and my court to York or to Oxford, and then
what will become of you ?" " Please your majesty," re-
joined the Lord Mayor meekly, " you may remove your-
self and your courts wherever you may please ; but there will
always be this consolation for the poor merchants of Lon-
don—you cannot take the Thames along with you.
DICKY SUBTT IN PAWN.—Suett, the comedian, had one
son, of whom he was very fond. The boy had just come
home from school for the holydays ; and walking down the
Strand with his father, Suett took him into a pastry-cook's
shop to treat him to some tarts. After the lad had eaten as
many as he could, Suett put his hand in his pocket to pay
for them, when, lo ! there was no money there. Suett was
much disconcerted, and said to the woman behind the
counter, " Oh, la! don't you know me, my dear?"—" No,
sir."—" lam Mr. Suett, the comedian." The woman re-
plied sulkily. " She could not help that."—Won't you trust
me, marm ?" said Dicky ; but the lady's look was enough,
and, he was fain to send his son home for the money, while
he remained in the shop till his return. Here he ever and
anon poked his old face out at the door, exclaiming, " Oh,
la ! ha! ha ! Oh dear, la! Here's the great Mr. Suett, the
comedian, in pawn for ten penn'orth of tarts ! Oh, la! only
think—ha! ha! Pawned for ten penn'orth of tarts !"
Bentley's Miscellany.
ANOTHER CORSICAN VENDETTA.—Extract of a letter
from Bastia :—" A farmer named Carrarra, 22 years of age,
residing at Itapala, has just been assassinated in cold blood,
in front of his father's house, while he was taking the air
with some of his neighbours, by a landed proprietor named
Scribani, a man of bad character and violent temper. The
latter having passed Carrarra without uttering a word, en-
tered his house, took down a loaded gun, returned to where
Carrarra was walking with his friends, and discharged the
contents of the gun into his bosom. Carrarra, bathed in
blood, was carried by his friends into his father's house,
where he expired shortly after. Meanwhile the assassin
gained a plantation adjoining the house, and in an hour
after, when a large assemblage of people was collected before
it, discharged his reloaded gun into the midst of the assembly,
but fortunately hit no person. Scribani had become Car-
rarra's sworn enemy, because he suspected the latter of
having acquainted the gendarmerie with the retreat of his
brother, a deserter, whom they had shot in a rencontre with
him. His suspicions, however, were entirely without foun-
dation. The murderer has not yet been taken."

A MODERN DOG OF MONTARGIS.—The Gazette de Ren-
drea has the following narrative in a letter from Arras of the
16th of August :—A shepherd was journeying to Souastre,
where his relations lived, for the purpose of passing some
dap with them. At night-fall he perceived three individuals
approaching him from a field on the road side. The moment
they reached his side they laid hold of his person, and de-
manded his money or his life. The poor man had nothing
with him, and pleaded his penury. Incensed at their failure,
confirmed by an examination of his person, the ruffians as-
saulted him violently with their heavy sticks. He struggled
with them, when one of his opponents drew forth a knife and
wounded him seriously with it. The unfortunate man fell,
and was left for dead on the road. During the night the
shepherd's relatives were awakened by the singular barkiugs
of a dog opposite their dwelling ; but the noise ceasing some
time afterwards, they thought there was nothing about which
it was necessary to trouble themselves. Next morning, how-
ever, having risen very early, they were greatly terrified upon
opening a door at perceiving a bundle covered with blood
lying outside, with the contents of which, upon opening it,
they were but too well acquainted. They also remarked that
the road which the bearer of the bundle had taken seemed to
be indicated by traces of blood. They followed this track,
and at some distance perceived the shepherd stretched on his
back, apparently lifeless. A knife had cut through the folds
of his cravat. His dog, which had been wounded in several
places, apparently by the same knife, was by his master's
side, licking his wounds, and whining piteously. The unfor-
tunate man was carried to his relative's house, and their
careful treatment restored him to life, and hopes are enter-
tained of his ultimate recovery. The dog had carried the
shepherd's bundle to the house, and barked for assistance.
Not succeeding in obtaining any, he had returned to watch
over his master, until human aid came at length to his relief.

PARRAKOETS.—This garrulous bird, which is held in such
high esteem by the ladies of this country, both for the lively
tints of its plumage, as well as for its loquacious propensities,
is looked upon as one of the greatest annoyances the pea-
santry of Bengal are exposed to. In the still summer even-
ings, about an hour before sunset, long strings of these birds
may be observed wending their noisy flight home, from the
rice-fields, in which they are accustomed to feed during the
day, to the deep " mange forests, where they roost through-
out the night. The damage that' inflict upon the standing
crops of grain is incalculable, nor are they to be deterred
from their spoliations by any threats that the peasantry may
hold out to them ; but, despite of all the endeavours of the
latter to scare them away, they will continue to cling to the
rice straws, with the tenacity of locusts, committing the most
disastrous ravages. Another remarkable circumstance con-
nected with these birds is this :--viz., that although kites,
hawks, and other birds of prey, are abundant throughout
India, yet not one of them will, however pressed by hunger,
select the parrakoet as his quarry, so that the latter are more
numerous than they otherwise would be. The plumage of
this bird, in a wild state, and when in its native clime is far
more lively and brilliant than it is in this country, and when
a large flock of them rush forth in their flight, out of the
trees, into the sun's beams, they convey to the eye of the be-
holder the fairy appearance of a shower of emeralds.
IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.—The extent of the prevailing
epidemic amongst cattle, and consequent loss to the farmer.
as well as the risk which the public necessarily run through
inducements too frequently held out, or facilities afforded for
disposing of infected carcases, render any mode of certain
cure highly important. It is with the greatest confidence
that the following recipe is recommended for this purpose.
It has been furnished by a gentleman of extensive experience
in the rearing and breeding of stock ; and has been employed
with invariable success in various parts of Yorkshire and
Lancashire, where the complaint has been prevalent. Dose :
Half a pound of sulphur, a quarter of a pound of Epsom salt,
two ounces of saltpetre, and one pound of treacle—mixed, to
be taken once a day. One•half of the above quantity will be
a sOficient dose for yearlings. As the complaint is seated
in the feet, the following wash should be used once a day :
One ounce of rock alum, one ounce of blue vitriol—boiled
in a quart of vinegar. The treatment here indicated, we re-
peat, has the sanction of successful experience in every case
wherein it has been seasonably applied, and we cannot,
therefore, too earnestly recommend it to farmers and others
concerned in the rearing and management of stock.—New-
castle Journal.

The chiet business done this week in Brimstone, has been the
sale of a cargo to arrive, at something below the rates now current
in the market. Some small parcels of Sumac taken for immediate
use, constitute the business done in this article, ruling at 12s 6d' for
Sicily. 7s for Verona, and 6s gd per cwt. for coarse ground Trieste.
A fair demand for Argols has taken off about 100 casks, and 32s to
33s for Oporto, and 38s 6d to 78s for the better descriptions.
Nothing reported in Cream of Tartar or brown Tartar. Flag
Anuatto has brought an advance, a few casks having been sold at
Is 2d. Berries in limited request. The demand for Valonia con.
tinues nearly suspended. The inquiry for Madder and Roots con
tinues good, and about 200 bales Turkey Roots have found buyers
at the quotations. 30 casks Dutch, and 20 casks French Madder
are reported but the price has not transpired. 20 quarters inferior
East 1 udia Linseed have been taken at 50s per quarter. Olive Oil
has continued in good demand throughout the week, and prices
have been fully supported ; the sales have reached 150 tuns, a large
portion of which was Spanish, ruling from 455 to 455 lOs per tun ;
other sorts are less easy to buy without paying some advance.
Fish Oils have become very dull of sale; no transactions worth
notice are reported in any descriptions. Seed Oils are also in
limited demand, and Linseed has been oflered rather lower, but
without leading to business. In Oil of Turpentine the sales appear
confined to small lots by the Distillers, at about the annexed
quotations Palm Oil.—The market continues steady, but the sales
of the week amount to only 126 tons, chiefly in small lots, at last
week's prices. For Hemp and Flax our quotations are firmly
maintained, and for Jute 415 has been realized for 250 bales ; 306
bales Bombay Hemp are also reported at 420 per ton, For yellow

by auction,at 48s up to 535, the quality being chiefly very superior;
the decline in the London market has since checked transactions
here, but no sales reported at any reduction in prices.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 18
Cotton.—A regular demand from the Trade has

prevailed this

week, chiefly for the lower qualities of American, for which, in
some instances, rather higher prices have been paid. The better
kinds of Surat are somewhat dearer, whilst Brazil and American
descriptions at above fair have continued heavy of sale. At a public
sale, consisting of 2035 Sea Island and 238 Stained do, there was a

very thin attendance of Spinners, and only 160 Sea Island and 50
