at the advance but on The arrival of the Hlbernla on the

KEEP OUT THE OuD Sow.-We we're very
much amused at the following dialogue be-
tween a ssoap lock" of Columbus, and a plain
practical farmer. The currency was the sub
ject of disputation:
Soap Lock.-You have witnessed the
blighting influence of the whole litter OF local
banks-they have swept across the breadth OF
our once happy land like the awful %sirocco,
leaving nought but destruction and devastation
in their train. Sir we must have a National
Bank, it is the only thing tina: will ever relieve
us from our embarrassments, and restore the
currency to a healthy condition!
Farmer.-If a litter of pigs had got into
your potatoe patch, and destroyed almost the
whole crop, would you turn the old sow IN to
complete the destruction?
This was a poser to "soapy," and he turned
upon his heel and left the farmer. The illus
tration is a good one. We say, keep out the
old sow.-A;ss. Adu.

Court of Queens Bench, Mon. 15.-This day being the
last allowed for pleading to the Indictment agains OCon-
nell, that gentleman appeared in Court, not to plead, but
to show cause why the Indictment should be quashed, be-
cause the Witnesses were sworn before the Grand jury
only, whereas, by an act of Parliament, 90 George ILL.,,
they should have been sworn in open court. The great
err paft of the day was taken up with argument, whether
a plea of abatement lodged the day before was in time or
not; the counsel for the Crown contending that it should
have been lodged when the parties were first charged and
not after the rule to plead had run. Ii was finally decid-
ed by Court that il was IN time, ADD thus an important
advantage was gained over the Attorney General; the
counsel for the Crown then demurred, and contended TO
plead to the argument at once but the traversers refused
10 do so without notice. and the Court agreeing, n four
day rule was granted, which delays further proceeding
until Monday next, when the validity of the objection
will be urged. The question is so entirely out OF law,
and the matter lies between the technical wording OF two
separate acts of parliameut, that we can give no opinion
of the result. or course, if OCo inell's objection Is
rod, the proceedings of this Indictment would be at an
