The Prussian Assembly met at Brandenberg on the
27th ult., but there was not a sufficient number of mem-
bers present to constitute a house; in consequence of
which Count Brandenberg refused to bring the Royal
Message forward, and the Chamber was adjourned to the
day following. This failure of a house is not a favourable
incident, and bespeaks a greater sympathy than was r-

the bed-ticking in particular is excellent. The butter is
superior to any exhibited in former years, and quite equal

It is, indeed, most gratifying to perceive such an increase

deplorable state of things : agrarian outrages, attempts at
assassination, attacks on persons and habitations by armed
men, burglaries, and robberies. In addition to all these,
the country is rife with predial disorganisation, dishonesty,
destitution, and retrogade morals : tenants flying from
their farms, which they leave uncultivated—defrauding
the landlords of years of rent, and sweeping away every-
thing which is capable of being removed—others holding
their ground, but resisting totally the payment of rent ;
ejectments, numerous and wholesale, following as a na-
tural and unavoidable result; resistance to taxes and poor
rates, the latter of which are levied " at the point of the
bayonet;" and, to crown all, hundreds of the idle and the
discontented besieging the poor houses in crowds, and
clamouring for indoor relief and outdoor relief—for that
bread which they have been taught to look for as the pri-
vilege of idleness, and not the earnings of " the sweat of
man's brow."—Dublin Mail.

GRATIFYING CIRCUMSTANCE.—The parishioners of
Jarrow,. Northumberland, on recently- learning of the in-
tended removal from the perpetual curacy of the incum-
bent, memorialised the patron in favour of the curate, the
Rev. J. M. Mason. In reply, the patron stated that it
was his intention prior to the receipt of the memorial, to
present the living to Mr. Mason, and that he was much
deceived if he (Mr. Mason) did not value the compliment
paid him by the memorialists more highly than the pre-
sentation of the living itself.
A DESTRUCTIVE. The interesting old church at
Buckenhall, six miles from Taunton, is undergoing entire
demolition, the tine old gothic windows being broken
up to mend a wall. A cross and other parts were taken
t Taunton, to be kept as a memento of what appears a
very strange proceeding. A faculty for taking the build-'

Portman. It is difficult to say whether grief or indigna-
