CURIOUS FASHION.—In 1612,10 James 1., Mr. Edward
Hawley, of Grey's Inn, coming to court one day, Maxwell
ja Scotsman] led him out of a room by a black string
Which he wore in his ear, a fashion then much in use ;
but this had like to have cost warm blood. Not only
Grays Inn Society, but all the gentry in London, thought
themselves concerned in the affront ; and Hawley threat-
ened to kill Maxwell whenever he met him, if he refused
to fight, which so frightened the king, that he sent for the
benchers, and made up the quarrel.—Tindal.
NATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS.—A German, an Eng.
lishman, and a Frenchman, each received an order for a
drawing of a camel. The Frenchman went immediately
to the Jardin des Plantes, and the next day produced a
skilfully-drawn, if not quite a perfect sketch of the camel.
The Englishman set off on the first steamboat for the f-
rican desert, a
and there observed and sketched the animal,
and, after few months, made a picture true to the life.
Meanwhile, the German withdrew into his studio in order
to construct the camel out of the depths of his own moral
consciousness. According to the latest accounts, he is
still there.—North American.
THE CHOLERA AN IMPORTED DISEASE.—The disease,
•of which I have drawn but a faint outline, was not known
in this country till the autumn of the year 1831. There
are Persons, I am aware, who hold that it has always ex-
ssted among us, only not in such numerous instances as
at that period ; and they appeal to Morton and other
early writers on the diseases of this country in support of
their opinion. But the malady was too striking to be
overlooked or ever forgotten by any one who had once
like 'it • Certainly till that year 1 never saw anything

er, told me that it was quite new to him. He had

Plaint ; and the reply was always, without a single excep-
tion, " No." Yet I say there were and are a few practi-
tioners who denied, and deny, that it was anything more
than the common and well-known English complaint
raging with unusual frequency and violence.—Dr. Watson.
REPEAL.—We have already repeatedly stated that the
day of Repeal, " dies ilia," may come, without any of
the agencies by which it is at present ostensibly sought for.
It maynot wrung from England, but forced upon be, Ire-
land.As to the " bubble, bubble, toil and trouble" of
the faction by whom it is at present aimed at, we hold
them of little account. Before a steady course of wise and
vigorous policy, they would dissolve into thin air, " vox
et preterea nihil." The humbug of Old Ireland, and the
fierce, impracticable extravagance of Young Ireland,
might be equally disregarded by the statesman who took
his stand upon constitutional principles ; and while he re-
medied every real grievance, resolutely determined to
maintain the articles of the Union. But the minister
who, for party objects, makes an alliance with the faction
of the country against the landed interest, and the super-
stition of the country against the Established Church, is
the most dangerous enemy to the integrity of the empire.
He it is who gives importance to the Repeal movement.
He it is who, by unwise concession, diminishes the centri-
petal, and increases the centrifugal force—by the due
equilibrium of which an harmonious connexion between
the two countries can alone be maintained. And should
the hour of separation come—as come, assuredly, it will,
if our course of policy be not altered—such a calamitous
result will not be ascribable to O'Connell or the priests,
lar Young Ireland, or Old Ireland, but to the degree in
which faction shall have triumphed over principle; and
the very
System of government become itself the machi-
nery of agitation which can only find its perfect consum-
mation in the dismemberment of the empire.—Dublin
university Magazine.
THE - OF BAVARIA AND THE INNKEEPER.—
Among tTr
he uneducated of Munich a habit prevails of using
the third person singular of the past tense of the verb to
• be, to answer for all persons, first, second, and third ; and
or tenses,--past, present, and future. We have no par-
sslel in
England for this habit ; but there is some approach
to it, in those persons who, wishing to be super-correct,
always say
" I were." Now it happened that there was a
gastwirth, or innkeeper, who was landlord of an establish-
ment much frequented in the outskirts of Munich, an
liginal, and who was notorious for his perseverance in
this habit. One morning, the king, in his usual daily
ramble, found himself in this place, when, of course, Herr
Gastwirth came out to salute him, with that mixture of
familiar botzhotnnzie and respect for his station which cha-
racterises the Bavarian people. " Well, Herr Gastwirth,"
said the king, " and so you are the landlord of the
_Gaean " Yes, I was, your majesty !" This of course,
Ms, what the king wanted to hear. " But are you not
still that
landlord, ?" " Yes I was, your majesty," again

could b
thank S°, suppose, hope you will be !" " Yes,
you
your m
questions by_
. majesty's goodness,l hope I was." The king
ear it no longer. He had been often baffled in his
this stupid _habit of some of his- subjects.
With one of his peculiar and forcible gestures, which made
the
astonished landlord fear he was about to receive a
Heal coup, the king replied, in his laconic style, " Then,
nerr Gastwirth, I can tell you, you were an ass, you are
" ass, and you always will be an ass !" And with that
the irate grammarian hurried away, leaving the poor pub-
lican ly ignorant in what he had offended his usually
good-natured king.--Fraser's Magazine.
PRESENTIMENTS.—I have heard of several cases of
teople hurrying home from a presentiment of fire ; and
s°ll.• M., of Calderwood, was once, when absent from
swine, seized with such an anxiety about his family that,
without being able in any way to account for it, he felt
himself impelled to fly to them, and remove them from
the house they were inhabiting, one wing of which fell
down immediately afterwards. No notion of such a mis-
fortune had ever before occurred to him, nor was there
any reason whatever to expect it, the accident originating
from some defect in the foundations.—A cirs,umstance,
IfsasetlY similar to this, is related by Stilling, of Professor
os"""0, teacher of mathematics at Marburgh. who being
v9e.vening in company, was suddenly seized with a con-
iction that he ought to go home. As, however, he was
erY comfortably taking his tea, and had nothing to do at
"tile, he resisted the admonition ; but it returned with
such force that at length he was obliged to yield. On
• leactine his house he found every thing as he had left it ;
stood ini
some: iv felt himself urged to remove his bed from the
resist which it stood to another ; but as it had always
ere, he resisted this impulsion also. However the
do i ance was vain, absurd as it seemed, he felt he must
the t ; s° he summoned the maid, and, with her aid, drew
bed to the other side of the room ; after which he felt
quite
_ at ease, and returned to spend the rest of the evening
with his friends.
At ten o'clock the party broke up, and
he retired home and went to bed and to sleep. In the
middle of the night he was awakened by a loud crash, and
i9n looking out he saw that a large beam had fallen, bring-
ng part of the ceiling with it, and was lying exactly on the
pot his bed had occupied.—One of the most remarkable
cases of presentiment I know is that which occurred, not
ili long since, on board one of her Majesty's ships, when
lying off Portsmouth. The officers being one day at the
e_eis,s-table, a young Lieutenant P. suddenly laid down his
an, le and fork, pushed away his plate, and turned extremely
pale.. He then rose from the table, covering his face
with his bands, and retired from the room. The president
of
the mess, suppo.ing him to be ill, sent one of the young
ram to • • inquire what was the matter. At first Mr. P. was
nnvvilling to speak ; but on being
pressed, he confessed
that he had been seized by a sudden and irresistible im-
pression that a brother he had then in India was dead.
He died," said he, "on the 12th of August, at six
O'clock ; T am perfectly certain of it !" No arguments
could overthrow this conviction, which, in due course of
Post, was verified to the letter. The young man had died
at Cawnpore, at the precise period mentioned.=—The
Night Side of Nature, by Mrs. Crowe.
DR. HOWLEY'S FAITHFULNESS AND MUNIFICENCE.—
The late Archbishop of Canterbury had difficulties
with which to contend, and many painful duties to per-
forma He had baptized the Queen ; he had solemnized
her marriage ; he had placed the Crown upon her head ;
he'wris the 'first ecclesiastic in the realm ; and when it
appeared to him, as well as to other distinguished mem-
bers of the hierarchy, that, in the palace of the Sovereign,
- Sunday was observed in a manner rather in accordance
with the gaiety of continental tastes than with the quiet
'reserve of English and Protestant habits, he did not he-
sitate to call her Majesty's attention to the subject • and
it ht's been stated that more than once during the 'Mel-
'lsourne Ministry he respectfully tendered to the Crown
advice not quite in accordance with the wishes of those
.1:410 at that time surrounded our then youthful and in-
. 731.perienced Sovereign. Though a man of remarkably
mild and unassuming manners, he was by no means defi-
cient in moral courage, nor likely to be deterred by any
3t f • 0 courtiers from discharging a duty due to his Sove-
ter or to the church of which that Sovereign is the
