Queen Victoria, the PerSecuted. If
there is any one thing more ridiculous than
all others, it is the seven-day's wonder,
made by the American press, of any thing
& every erythingperainingto British Royalty.
Poor VICTORIA, from the day she ascen-
ded the Throne, to the day the Baby was
"laid on the table," she had dogs time
of it, with the penny-a-line scribblers, and
miserable gossipping Editors, who filled
their papers from week to week, about
her private affairs. If she happened to
take walk, to get mouthful of fresh air
and an appetite for dinner, the astounding
fact was not only formally "gazetted,"
copied and re-copied, that she was bona
tfde biped and put one foot before the 9TH
er in walking, but her very gait and car
riage were accurately described. Wheth-
er she walked parrow-toed or straight
ahead, or turned her toes out. 1t was not
only definitely known in England, Scot
land and Irelaad, but freely gossipped
from Maine to the Texas line, whether
VIcToRI ate biscuit or buckwheat cakes
for breakfast; and if the latter, whether
with or without molasses.
1t was known to a fraction when Prince
ALBERT popped the question" and the
newspapers had settled the wedding day
long before ALBERT found out whether
there was to be any wedding at all.
As the Queen was fairly married, it as
formally announced in the newspapers
that she was growing little en- bon point,
and half the Editors aightway seemed
to imagine themselves er-oGcao Professors
of a particular branch of fmedical science,
and gave forth, from week to week, oracu-
lar intimations touching certain tipes and
seasons.
At last child was born sure enough,
and for the life of US, we can see no great
matter of wonder in it poor little thing,
like its mother, it has had very little peace
since its birth; and we thought never
would, unless its daddy should take his gun
10 60 to shooting Editors. "Rock-a-by-
Baby" you may now take little nap,
for your scribbling prosecutors have start
ed a new game, that will keep them 60
ing until "the fall"
Among the items of Foreign intelligence,
brough out by the Brlttania, we find the
following published:
"Her Majesty of England, isnow open-
ly gazetted, as hkely in the autumn to glue
the nation rival to the Princess Royal.

HEELS VS.. HEADs.-A veyclever mix
ture of parody, parable, personification,
pantomine and mythology, now doing at
the Buwerp, merits more than "a passing
notice of the press. The character OF the
performance will be readily inferred from
the title, but we think the reader will find
short sketch of its incidents, &C., anus
ing. The first scene presentsa man for
merly well known as William Shakespeare,
once considered immortal. The interlo-
cutors with him are Mesdanes the Drama.
Fame and the dialogue is cleverly man
aged by extracts from certain once highly
esteemed dramas. The next scene is in
the Hartz Mountains, where the presiding
demon, at the instance of Folly. provides
somebody to play the very demon with the
drama, The apparition which is invoked
and produced to order, looks exceedingly
like Fanny Elssler, and after a pusyanish-
es. Another scene represents serenade,
and another theatre, on the stage Of
which the sprite from the Hartz noun
tains is literally covered with flowers,
showered down by baskets tull. In one :
part of the piece the Baltimore coach
drawing scene, where men made beasts
or burthens ofthemselves, is enacted. At
a magic word, the heads the men IN har.
ness t1,rn to asses heads. This part OF
the performance, as indeed do all parts
bring down shouts of applause.
The universal verdict is that this affair
i one of n, best and MIST witty ever
,,rar;nced upon the New York stage. In
~ ,.per .lsver exlravagance it convulses the
! - ,sa 80 with laughter or shakes it with ap.
'nur ,"n"e The true and only way to make
tho drama popular, is thasto "palnt folly
as @ it fiies," in local sketches.

pectorate large quantities of matter, perhaps
mixed with blood, difficulty of breathing en-
sues, and then you find your own foolish ne
gleet has brought on this distressing complaint.
If then you value life or health, be warned in

FALL TRAN SPLANTING.-When
trees are removed for the purpose of be-
ing transplanted, their roots should, il
possible, be preserved fresh and entire
If these precautions have been omitted
their whole bodies and roots must be I'M
mersed in fresh water during "a hours:
and their tops must be lessened in pro.
portion to the loss their roots have sus-
tained.-The sources by which they de-
rive the nourshment which they receiv-
ed from the earth being diminished, the
whole sap of the tree and even its vitali-
ty, would otherwise pass off by transport
talion.
October and November, and immedi-
ately after the first hard frost has arres-
ted vegetation is esteemed the best JASON
ler transplanting trees. The plum, the
peach, the cherry and evergreen trees do
especially well when planted early in au-
!umn. But where circumstances render
II necessary, transplanting may be defer
req till spring. When trees are trans
planted m autumn the earth becomes duly
consolidated at their roots, and thew are
ready to vegetate with the first advance
