must relate an anecdote in point
Some gentlemen were dining together,
and relating their travelling adventures;
one of them dwelt so much on the
marvellous, that it induced another to
give him a lesson.

skirmishing party in America; advan-

TigAt.-In the good old blue-law
times in Connecticut, the girls were in
the habit of tying their hair so tight on
the back of their heads, that it entirely
prevented them from shutting their eyes
or mouths, even if they ever felt inclin-
ed so to do. The consequence was
that their lovers were compelled to I'M
tie the string before they could kiss
them.
Tighter.-We were informed last
summer in Philadelphia, that some of
the ladies in that city were in the habit
of hooking their frocks so tight behind,
that they were obliged to loosen them
before they could sneeze, or run the
risk Of breaking off lots of hooks and
eyes
Tightest.-A Boston paper mentions
an instance of a dandy there who strap
ped his pantaloons down over his boots
so tight that when he raised his foot to
step he could not get it down again, but
was obliged to stand on one leg like a
goose until the strap was taken off.

Philadelphia, July 10. Accidents;
Soon after the launch of the Pennsyl.
vania, the chains supporting the steam
boat bridge at Kaign's Point gave way
and precipilated a number Of persons
into the river; no lives were lost, but a
young man had his leg broken. A col
ored man fell out efa boat near Chris.
tan street wharf, and was drowned. A
man fell from the roof of stable neal
the Navy Yard, and had one of his
hips put out Of place; he is likely to re-
cover. Nat. Gaz.

today, and even the American houses have
ceased to be subject Of remark ;everv one
is occupied more or less IL watching the
first incidents Of the new reign. Much as.
constituent is expressed at the statements so
confidently made of an approaching dissolu-
ton Of Parliament, without completing any
Of their important measures which have %
long been under discussion. The promo.
S:tion of taking vote of credit alarms
great many persons with notion that some
thing is seriously wrong in the state Of the
public revenue, for such a proceeding has
not been adopted for mnny years, and is,
without example, unless when the country
is at war or under circumstances Of peculiar
difficulty. There is much desire therefore
to have the budget brought forward, in orr
der that this, difficulty may be explained.
and in general, the notion of diSsolVing par
lament, while these and other matters rela-
ting to our commercial as well as our inan-
cial SYSTEM, are unsettled, are severely con-
demned. The difficulty Of procuring mon
eY safely and profitable in the present state
ct private credit is nevertheless bringing
capital into the funds for investme Mt, and
COnSols have experienced trifling advanc E;
the last quotations to-day was l93 for the
account. The premium on Exchequer
Bills have also advanced and left of at 32s
Gas.
