ANECDOTES OF PARROTS. Parrots. like
cuckoos, form their notes deep in the throat.
and show great aptitude in initiating the
Auman voice. A most remarkable instance
] met with at Mr.. Braham's villa in Bromp-
ton. A lady, who had great admiration for
his talents, presented him with parrot, on
which she had bestowed great pains in
teaching to talk. After dinner during a
pause in the conversation, was startled by
voice from one corner Of the room calling
out IN strong hearty manner, Come, Bra
ham, give us a songn Nothing could ex.
coed the surprise and admiration of the
company. The request being repeated, and
not answered, the parrot struck np the first
verse Of God save the King in clear,
~arbllng tone, aiming at the style of the
singer, and sang Through. The ease with
winch this bird was taught was equally sur
Prslng with the performance. The same
Iauy prepared HIM to accost Catalini, when
dIning with Mr.. Braham, which so alarmed
Maname, that she nearly fell from her chair
upon ms commencing Rule Britannia in
loud and intrepid tone. the chnn,ress fell
on her knees before the bird. expressing. in
terms of delight, her admiration of i,s ,al.

CORN LAWS-ENGLANp.-Tho Liverpool Timos
OF tho I'd ut. contains column on the absurdity
of the Corn Laws, and concludes us follows:
"When foreigners who grow corn to a vast amount
come to trade with us, they bring, in exchange
Tor our goods. that of which they have the great
est quantity, which we, in fact, though wanting il,
reject I}y our present conduct we induce foreign
crs to rival us in and the least estimabe part of
our proceedings, with making thoir fiscal rcgu-
atons as unfavorable to British commerce as pos.
siblc. We are far from saying tina, the Americans,
for example, do wisely in enacting their Tariffs,
but they at all events act no unnatural part.
Englishmen constantly descanting very
sensibly, as they think, the folly of tho
people Of the United Staes making their own bad
cloth to sell at an enormous price 10 themselves,
when they might havo the best of ours for far less
money hui VIC never the while remember (or we act
as remember not) that they may be returning the
compliment, aud holding up their hands and eyes
while they cxcliim:-'Whst foo.s these English
men are, who will not take corn cheap from their
neighbors. but are resolved 20 grew it wretchcd
land, and buy it ut an eSorbitant rate at hsmc.
And this is case in point, for at this verymoment
While wc.are showing the Americans the absurdity
OF their conduct, there is in the ports of England u
vast quantity OF American flour in bond. which has
Deen there for months past, and from tho happy
suit oi our harvest has no prospect of release but
at very great sacrifice. Our ports are effectively clio.
sed, hermetcaiiy sealed against it; our trans
lantic friends have market with us for it, and us
our reward the market for our goods among them
must be very limited. We thus perceive that an
excellent harvest, when we have it, land i, comes
seldom enough) brings with it loss and great de-
triment to part of our body and completely bars the
entrance OF foreign produce, by the reception of
which our own might be taken off our hands our
manufacturers fully employed and plenty reign yet
more extensivcly.-No nation ever yet gained by
this KIND OF selfish policy, and sincerely hope
that our Legislature will soon recognize this truth,
and that no distant day will the humiliation of
all exclusive systems of policy, and the establish.
mcnt of perfectly free trade, but above all of free
trade in corn"
