The la'c on Sunday sharing. Ina Dun
dee shaving case, the magistrates declared
the apprentice was bound to shave his mas
ter's customers on Sundays. The Lord
Ordinary, in The court of session; reversed
this Judgment finding that the apprentice
was not bound to shave OH the Lords Day.
In January, the court of session reversed
the Lord Ordinary's interlocutor, and or
dained the irfdrtiinate apprentice to shave
again on Sundays. And, to end the buffet
ing about the apprentice, last week the
House of Lords declared his services can
not be called upon to shave the people of
Scotland on Sunday.-GIasgOw Chron.

The richest main on edrth.-The Paris
correspondent Of the Albany Daily Adver-
tiser says:-''Louis Philippe is, without
exception, the richest man in the world.
He receives annually, in ready money, a
sum of twelve millions of francs, He de-
friyes revenue of perhaps twenty millions
more from the lands, forests, and other pro-
1perty Of the crown. He is in the enjoy
'ment of the private fortune of the Orleans
family, which should have been united to.
the national domain, as was the custom
with former monarchs, on their accession
TO the throne, but which he was allowed to
retainby an act consented to by Lafayette,
Laffitte, and the victorious insurfectlonists,
who little knew what they were about, on
the eve of his taking the oath to observe
the charter as King Of the French. The
amodnt of his private fortune cahnot be
less than ten millions of francs per annum.
He possesses, besides, an immense sum in
ready money; estimated by some at be-
tween one hundred and fifty, and two hun
dred millions of Francs. He pockets the
million granted the Duke of Orleans as
presumptive heir to the throne, and the pri-
vate fortune he is supposed to have given
9he Queen of the Belgians, and he has none
of the obligations with which the civil list
of Charles x. was burdened. The latter
paid nearly six millions in pensions, which
Louis Philippe has thought proper to sup
press altogether; he had besides a large
military household, chapel, hunting es-
enlistment, &C., which cost him at least
as much more, none of which have been
retained by the present king, whose reve-
nues are totally disencumbered, and cOnse-
quen1y fully adequate to the maintenance
of his family, without any provision from
ahe state.'

an era OF universal barter. Every thire ha,

1t is fact, probably not generally known
that more than half of the territory inclu-
ded within the present limits of the United
States, contains few or no settlers, and is
not yet formed into states. If line were
drawn from the mouth of the Sabine river
due north to the Missouri river, and thence
in a northeasterly direction to the south end
of lake Michigan, the eastern division
would include nearly all the population,
though less than half the territory y.-The
other division is almost wholly in the pos
session Of the Indians.

the newest fashion. He heard gas spoken
of as being very superior to oil, but he had
not the courage to ask an explanation on
the subject. Going to dine at a chop-house,
he ordered some turbot, and on being ask
ed by the waiter whether he would take
oil with his fish; he answered, 'No, wish
to try the new mode, give it to me with
gas"
