CARPET ESTABLIS HM W.:T.—We were, the other daye•
much gratified by a visit to the carpet warehouse, itir
Lord-street, recently re-established try Mr. Elba. The
stock of Brussels and other cirpets, hearth-rugs, &c., ie
most extensive and select, showing a vast improvement,
both in quality and pattern, in these beautiful and Use-
ful products of the modern loom. Many of the drawing
arid dining-room carpetings ate noiet in design, of the
finest text tire, and of the richest and most delicate, yet
enduring colours. Amongst the numerous rugs we No-
ticed some with centre-pieces and bordering, so admi-
rably executed as to form perfect pictures, equal to the
most elaborate needle-work. The proprietor in choosing
this locaWy for his establishment—near the centre of our
shipping business—had in view the greater convenience of
the captains of vessels and families residing in Ch ‘shiret
and as he has (let-mined, notwithstandin2 the recent
great and continued advance in price of alt articles in the
trade, to content himself with sell•ng at the old prices. ft!e
confidently recommend ail who would adorn their dote"
cites at a cheap rate to vial his extensive rooms.

was struck by him in the manner described. Mr. Kni.
ton ordered the defendant to pay a fine Of bOa. sad cring
or, in default, to be imprisoned on- month ; and. "
i" renta-
so, he said Jones had a perfect right to exercise Pare the
authority for the protection of his daughter, and t.."r„ble,
defendant, if his intentions were pure and hon7o,,act,
should have gone openly and fairly to the cowl per-
told him that he admired his dauph'er. a d a-ked_so right
"
mission to nay his aderesses to her, but he had re,,ed
to carry on an intimacy with her against the er,
