There is a lawyer in Philadelphia whose tongue is so oily,

There is said to be a county in Virginia so poor that twenty
farmers have to join milks to make porridge, which is then
so thin that nothing but pigs can see it.

THE FEMALE CAnIN 130t' AGAit.t.—The female cabin boy,
who, from a smart pleasant-looking lad, neatly attired, has,
by the aid of petticoats, been. metamorposed into a stout,
soft-looking, full-featured lass, was this morning arraigned
at the bar of the Gorbals Police-otlicc, charged with being a
vagrant, having no fixed place of residence, following no law-
ful employment, improperly assuming male attire, she being
a female. She was designated Albert Douglas, alias Had-
field, alias Lavender Cavendish. The charge being read over
by the clerk, who craved twenty-four hours io allow him time
to inquire how the law dealt with such cases, also to bring
forward witnesses, the Court agreed to remand the prisoner
until Monday, when she will be brought up for final exami-
nation. Before leaving the bar, the sitting magistrate inquired
if she had any particular desire as to how she she should be
disposed of, or if she had any wish to go to employment ?
The prisoner, who speaks with a mild English accent, and
who hung her eyes to the ground, and seemed somewhat
agitated, said she did not mind how they disposed of her ;
she was quite willing to go any where, or to any employment.
She was then remanded. We are enabled to give the sub-
stance of her last confession, which was taken down in writing.
She was born in New York : her relatives reside in the
Western-road, Halifax. Her father was minister of St.
Paul's, New York, and afterwards resided at Halifax, where
he died nine years ago; that her reason for going to sea was
the bad treatment of a stepmother • that she sailed from Ha-
lifax as a cabin-boy in a vessel called the Vivian ; arrived at
Troop, a town 75 miles below Quebec ; from thence she sailed
in a vessel for Falmouth, Cornwall, where she again left and
joined another called the Seven Stars, Captain Rice, and ar-
rived at Bridgewater, Devonshire. She next sailed in the
Haffart, Captain Richardson, for Cuba, and arrived back to
Troon about nine months ago. She was afterwards engaged
herself to a Mr. Ramsay, at the Isle of Man, where she re-
mained for four months. We believe that means are now
taken to ascertain the truth of some parts of her story, the
result of which will be forthcoming by the time of her next
examination. Whatever be the effect of these inquiries, it is
pretty evident that she has passed through not a few adven-
tures, and seen life undervariousaspects.-- Glasgow Chronicle.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 8.
We have again to report a very limited supply of Beef, and
mostly of inferior quality, at our market to-day, but the prices of
good Beef a shade higher than last week. Of Mutton and Lamb
the supply was larger, though we cannot quote the prices much
lower. Beef being so dear country butchers bought mutton and
lamb instead, which increased the demand, and kept up the price.
Best Beef 7d to Bd, mutton ticl to 7d, accoi ding to quality, and
lamb 7d to ad per lb.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 6.
There was a very fair supply of English Wheat to this day's
market, which has been taken off at aboutthe same prices as this
day week. Some of the recent foreign arrivals of good fresh qua-
lity aro offering ex-ship, but holders are very firm, in expectation of
a lower duty. Nothing passing in bonded, prices nominally the
same. There is very little Barley on sale ; grinding qualities are in
demand, and Is to 2s per quarter dearer. Beaus fully support late
prices, also grey Peas ; but white boiling being very scarce, must
be noted is to 2s per quarter dearer. The return shows a good
arrival of Oars last week ; in addition to which a few vessels got in
this morning from Lincolnshire. The continuance of the present
dry weather has caused this article to be held very firmly; but our
dealers and consumers being unwilling tp submit to the price de-
manded, the sales have been only to a moderate extent, at an ad-
vance of is per quarter on the currency of this day se'nnight.
WEDNESDAY, June 8.

The market has been again very dull this morning, and every
article is nominally at the rates of the last market day. The fine-
ness of the weather still prevents speculative business, but only
inferior samples of Wheat and Oats are parted with, at rather
lower rates. The letters from France and the south of Europe
describe the crops as suffering from the drought, and rain is very
much wanted in every part of the kingdom from which there are
parties this morning at Mark Lane.
