CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.

As Mr. Levi has been jllformed ii!;.sveral of his Patients that
a person has been calling on several houses in Liverpool, and
representing himself to some as Mr. Levi, and to others that
he was sent by him, Mr. Levi thinks it but justice to the
public, io acquaint them that he has no connexion with any
such pretenders, nor does he attend out of his residence,
(except by particular desire,) neither will he be responsible
for any accident that is likely to occur by employing such em-
piric:. Mr. L. begs partieularly to direct the attention of
those who may be troubled with Corns, Bunions, &c., to a pa-
ragraph which appeared in the" LONDON MORNING POST,"
of November the 13th, where will be seen the dangerous re-

lulls. that may occur from unskilful treatment.
AI
ONSIEUR LEVI, CHIROPODIST, from Paris,
and No. 3, CONDUIT-STREET, REGENT-STREET, LON-
DON, has the honour to announce to the Nobility, Gentry, and
Inhabitants of Liverpool and its Environs, his FOURTH AN-
NUAL PROFESSIONAL VISIT to this town; and, owing to
his numerous engagements in London and Paris, his present
stay will be necessarily short; an immediate application will
therefore be desirable.

Mons. L. takes the present opportunity to return his grateful
thanks for the extensive patronage and kindness he experienced
(luring his former visits, and considers it his duty to state that
various arrangements at his establishments in London and
Paris will preclude the possibility of his revisiting this town
for a very long period, so that those who may require his pro-
fessional services should not lose the present favourable op-
pornity.
Monsieur Levi may be CONSULTED DAILY, for a short
time only, from the hours of Ten till Four o'clock, at his Resi-
dence,
Ito. 34, BOLD-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
Mons. L. (who has no profes&onal connexion with any Person
whatever) begs to submit the following Testimonials :

Mr. Levi has this day operatea upon a corn under my great

and I can walk now with the greatest ease. I can, therefore,
recommend my friends who are suffering from the same cause
to pay a visit to Mr. Levi. It. STEELE.

A remarkable document appears in the Dublin Free-
man of Saturday—a letter of Dr. Brown, Roman Catholic
Bishop of Elphin, to the Earl of Shrewsbury. The pre-
late replies to some former charges of the noble earl rela-
tive to the murder of Major Mahon and the denunciations
of the parish priest of Strokestown. The bishop regrets
the warmth of his previous language, if he has been be-
trayed into unbecoming ardour.
INQUESTS ON NEW-BORN CHlLDREN.—Yesterdav,
inquests were held before Mr. Curry, on view of the body
of a male child. The body was found on Sunday wrapped
up as a bundle near one of the gates of the north docks.
Also on view of the body of a female child, found on the
same day, similarly wrapped in cloth, in Great Oxford-
street north, opposite St. Martin's Church. On post
mortem examinations it appeared that in both cases the
children had been " still born."

SECOND SALE OF THE LATE EARL SPENCER'S SHORT-
HORNS.—This sale, on Friday, was attended by some hun-
dreds of noblemen, gentlemen, and breeders. The auc-
tioneer, Mr. Wetherell, of Durham, commenced the sale
between two and three in the afternoon, and the proceed-
ings were not concluded until the evening. For the cows
and heifers, consisting of 25 lots, prices ranged from 30 to
200 guineas. The bull Usurer, by the Lord Warden, was
sold to Lord Dude for 400 guineas; and Upstart, a bull,
by Lamplighter, was sold to Sir Thomas Cartwright for
200 guineas. Some little bull calves fetched a good price,
one about two months old being sold for 52 guineas, about
10s. per lb. The produce of the sale of the cows and
heifers amounted to 4,100 guineas, and of the bulls 1,304
guineas, making a total of 5,404 guineas for the entire herd.
At the former ale, about a year and a half ago, the sum
realised was nearly 5,000 guineas. _

REMARKABLE LONGEVITY.—Mr. Sharp, farmer, New-
ton, of Kilcarn, has in his possession a small highland
pony, whose history is certainly somewhat extraordinary.
This beautiful little animal was first brought from Orkney
to Cellardyke, In Fifeshire, in a fishing-boat. lie was
then full grown, but his age was not known. He was
purchased by Mr. Sharp's late father, by whom he was
used as a riding pony for many years; next by his son,.
who is 45 years younger ' • afterwards by his grandchildren,
the youngest of whom is 85 years younger ; and, lastly, by
his great-grand-daughter, who is 107 years younger. The
most remarkable circumstance connected with this pony
is, that, notwithstanding his extreme age, he is still lively
and vigorous, and could trot at the rate o!' 10 miles an hour
on a good road with ease. The late Lord President Hope
in 1822 informed a friend that he had then a horse 46
years old ; still, I question if this famous charger ever
attained the age of little Donald, or performed the same
services to four generations.—lnverness Courier.
HEREDITARY PROPENSITIES IN DOGS.—Roulin relates
that dogs employed for hunting deer in some parts of
Mexico, seize the animal by the belly, and overturn it by
a sudden effort, at the moment when the body of the deer
rests only upon the fore legs ; the weight of the animal
thus thrown over being often six times that of its antago-
nist. The dog of pure breed inherits this disposition,
and never attacks the deer from before while running;
even should the deer, not perceiving him, come directly
upon him, the dog slips aside, and mak-s his assault on
the flenk ; whereas, other hunting dogs, though of supe-
rior strength and general sagacity, which are brought
from Europe, are destitute of this instinct. 'A new instinct
has also become hereditary in a mongrel race of dogs em-
ployed by the inhabitants of the banks of the Magdalena
in hunting the'white-lipped Pecari. The address of these
dogs consists in restraining their ardour; attaching them-
selves to no animals in particular, but keeping the whole
herd in check. Now, among these dogs, some are found
which, the very first time they are taken to the woods,
are acquainted with this mode of attack ; whereas, a dog
of another breed starts forward at once, is surrounded by
the Pecari, and, whatever may be his strength, is destroyed
in a moment.—Millengen's Mind and Matter.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF REVOLUTION IN FRANCE.—
Upon the principles which installed M. Louis Blanc in
the Hotel de Ville, and which he himself has so ambigu-
ously laid down, any citizen would be justified in organ-
izing any association for the advtneement of any theory.
What the theory is—whether social, political, or religious
—whether developed as Communism, Catholicism. Abso-
lutism, Imperialism, or Judaism, signifies not a sour.
His sincerity must be presumed, and his rights are indis-
putable. He may fall a martyr, or lie may soar a conque-
ror. but that he is amenable to any authority for the dis-
turbance he may cause, is an idea not to be named. We
are now witnessing, in a most startling light, the fruits of
these principles. The whole French nation is to meet in
an assembly constituted by the universal and indiscrimi-
nate suffrage of the entire population. It might be
thought that from the decisions of such a body there could
be no possible appeal, and that whether Frenchmen chose
to decree themselves the subjects of an absolute monarchy,
as did the Danes in 1660, or of a limited one, as did the
English in 1688, was a matter entirely at their own
option. Yet it is already positively and openly declared
by each and all of the respective clubs, that if any other
than their own private opinions are sanctioned, or any
othir than their own peculiar theories advanced by the
National Assembly, they will march against it—that is to
say, that the voice to which they will acknowledge allegi-
ance is not the voice of the people, but their own. France
is a Republic, but it is a Republic in which each individual
citizen claims to be a State in himself, more completely
than ever did Louis XlV.—Tinier.
THE SWISS WOMEN.—Although High-German is the
language of the cultivated classes, the Swiss ladies are,
am told, little acquainted with it ; a fact which may be,
perhaps, both a cause and a consequence of their univer-
sal withdrawal from society. The inferences concerning
female education to be drawn from this fact are necessarily
very unfavourable; but these deficiences are probably
little considered in Swiss marriages, which are apparently
commercial bargains, in which the purse has more con-
cern than either the heart or the head. Once married,
mental culture in the women is little called for; general
social intercourse being denied them, and theirlives being
shut within the narrow range of their household duties
and the circle of their female acquaintance. Good house-
wives they are at least, and certainly not behind their
husbands in economical inclinations. Amongst mechanics
and artisans, women are much employed in trade and
business of various kinds : but, even in the higher classes,
household cares play necessarily a prominent part, since
they present in many cases the only resource against the
attacks of ennui. Marriages between foreigners and
native Swiss seldom take Place, partly, perhaps, from the
paucity of intercourse; but there are also in many cantons
legal difficulties hard to overcome, as, for instance, the
refusal of all civic rights to the children of such a mar-
riage. The women of Switzerland are physically much
finer than the men; and beautiful faces, principally in
• the German style, are often met with. The features are
usually large and full, the complexion clear and fresh, with
light blue eyes and brown hair. The figure, though sel-
dom slender, is well proportioned and active. The teeth
are, however, universally bad, an evil generally attributable
to the water ; and it is even asserted that no stranger can
long remain in Zurich without having his teeth affected.
,Miigge's Switzerland and the Swiss in 1847.
There is a good deal of talent which mug be looked for
before it can be found ; but it is worth finding, and there-
fore worth looking for.
