There are great many points on which we
should like to know Boz's opinions-such, for In
stance, on Downing's oysters-which we shall fnd
out when he gets along to this village
There are, however, two things in which certifi-
cate from the immortal Boz will not be required.
The first the genius for shaving at sixpence per
chops, and cutting off hair at shilling per head,
possessed by James Grant, Esq, the great Boz bar
Dor and Pickwick hair dresser, at No. Ann street,
whe shaves the Rev. Park Benjamin, the man that
has actually caused the great popularity Of Dickens
in this country, by first popuarzing and publishing

JupGE KENT AND RkpoRrIra-A day or two af-
ter the close of Colts trial, Judge KENT happened to
be conversing with tv or three gentlemen of the
press and few others, and his Honor remarked
that he had read the report of his charge which ap
peared in the Nep York Express on the Monday
morning after its delivery The Judge stated that he
was assnished at the accuracy of the report which
gave not merely the substance of the charge, but
every expression rerbaGm, and turning to MIR. Mac
lachlan, the reporter Of the Express who was pre-
sent, his Honor said
"Your report, Sir was admirable II never saw so
accurate report-do you write shorthand, Sir Z"

sent himself without blush, as the author ofthe

and Judge Kent had so highly eulogised
Yet this very paper, which thus appropriates our
reports, and by the most despicabe falsehood and
meanness represents them as its own has the impu.
dence to assail the accuracy Of our reporters The
same dirty trick has been played by the Express,
again and again. and its performance affords salts
factory demonstration alike of the meannese and
utter incapacity of that miserable concern and our
superiority in furnishing the public
with the most full and accurate reports.
