| Speaking of the presumed connection
of a certain "greek" Marquis with Crock.
. Gord's house, our author observes
at is said that the Marquis of Hertford
has from first to last in the course of his
| life, won upwards of fl,5OO,OOO; how i,
has been spent-for it understood to have
been, for the most part, spent-is pretty
generally known to the public. He now
plays but seldom hardly ever unless there
is pigeon to be plucked."
On "plucking" there are few sensible
remarks -
"When well.feathered pigeon is in
the wind'-such is the gambling-house
phraseology-the fat-catchers of fCrockford's s
are all on the alert. Sometimes they will
keep their eye on him for year or two
before they expect they can fix their talons
on him. The public appearance OF no
young nobleman, for many years past, has
excited so much interest at Crockford's as
that of the Duke of Buccleuch. The i'm
mense wealth into the possession of which
they knew he would come when of age,
was too tempting prize TO be overlooked.
Every effort was accordingly made to de-
coy him into the great hell Of St. James's !;
but it would not do. He never evinced
the least disposition for play. His taste,
though often varying, was always opposed
to gambling. At one time it is for buying
old books; ut another for collecting Gu
rious ancien. vases, and other antiquities ;
then it changes to fine furniture. No mat
ter what direction it takes so long as it
keeps him out ofthe way Of gambling. His
princely fortune can enable him TO crafty
any other taste, whatever it may be, with
out inurng his family; but few weeks in
the hazard room Of Crockford's would, in
all probability, see him beggar."

despatch of 100 or 200 words must be
marked by one or two hundred signals at
! most, the Telegraphc despatch being al
ways conveyed with most exact orthog-
raphy and punctuation, as the principal and
true object of Telegraphic system is TO be
able to transmit all the dispatches exactly
and above all with very few signals, in OF
der to avoid the bad weather which might
occur momcntarily in great distances.
The Telegraph being very simple, and
the movement quite visible at a great dis
tance, it can be placed at 4, 6, 8 and 10
leagues distant according TO the proposition
of the ground.
The persons employed about the Tele-
time, and with little practice they will be
enabled easily to make from to lesignals
per minute, consequently despatch of
100 words which will employ 100 signals at
theaost, may be Transmitted through dis
tanceof 200 leagues in the space of Is to
20 minutes.
In consideration ofthe great advantages
presented by their Telesraphic system over
all others known, advantages attested by
undoubled certificates Of experiments Of
their dictionary made at St. Petersburg, and
at Moscow in presence ofgentlemen of the
Engineer department and the corps of CON-
municaiious of the Russian empire, as well
as before Mr.. Clay, Charge d. Affairs Of
the United States, and meeting Of Ameri-
can merchants, Messrs. Servel & Gonon
are making arrangements TO establish sys-
tenn of relegraphic communications in all
the States, north and south.
The Tclegraphic dictionary invented by
Messrs. Scrvel e. Gonon, can be easily
translated i'll all the living languages with
out losing any of the advantages it possesses
in the French; this consideration has indu.
ccd those gentlemen to proceed Immediately
to the United States of America, being per-
suuded that this great nation will receive
favorably a plan which, by presenting a
perfect system of Telegrapbic communica.
tions, will also be of the greatest utility to
this fourishing country.

A monkeys memoyy.-Authors generally
seem to think that the monkey race are not
capable of retaining lasting impressions
but their memory is remarkably tenacious
when striking events call it into action. A
monkey, which we permitted to run free,
had frequently seen the men servants in
the great country kitchen, with its huge
fireplace take down powder horn that
stood on the chimney piece, and throw a
few grains into the fire, to make Jemima
and the rest of the maids jump and scream,
which they'always did, on such occasions
very prettiy. Pug watched his oppertuni-
ty, and when all was still, and he had the
kitchen entirely to himself, he clambered
up, got possession of the well filled powder
horn, perched himself very gingerly on one
side of the horizontal wheels placed for
the support of saucepans, right over the
waning ashes of an almost extinct wood
fire, screwed ofthe top ofthe horn, and re-
versed it over the CRATE. The explosion
sent him half way up the chimney! Be-
fore he was blown up he was a snug, trim
well conditioned monkey as you would
wish to see on a summers day; he came
down a~carbonated niger in miniature, in
an avalanche of burning SCOT. The tiump
with which he pitched upon the hot ashes
in the midst ofthe general fare up, aroused
him to sense of his condition. He was
missing for days. Hunger at last drove
him forth, and he saeaked into the house
close signed, begrimed, and looking scared
and develiSh He recovered with care
but like some other great personages, he
never got over his sudden elevation and
fall, but became sadder if not a aciser
monkey. If ever Pug forgot himself, and
was troublesome, you had only to take down
apowder horn in his presence, and he was
off to his hole like shot, screaming and
Gathering his jaws like pair of castanets.
