OLD NOAH AND THE Holy LAND.-What has be-
come OF the grand project for the redemption Of
the Holy Land, which was announced month or
two ago by old Noah and recorded IN our columns :?
Will nobody move in the matter! II is really too
bad to see the lneal descendant of the kingy race
Of Judea retailing twaddle for the benefit OF the
BARRIERS shops and groggerics Ct this Gentle city,
when he ought be restoring the former slories of
jerusalem. Noah has, we see, turned quite round
to Csy--a!most as important an accession as that
Of the Chevaier, and making complete the magi-
cal number OF cquss in his city, ali ready to
die for Clay. Whata hard lot sas been that Of poor
Noah--conemplatDg, smelling, and fighting for
the flesh-po,s Of administration after admlnisira-
tom and parry after party, only TO them snatch
ed away and devoureo by others. Noah is certain
y curiosity amongst politicians. He is Of a verify
al Things to all men. Hisprinciples and conscience
are admirably suited for public life They can stand
az nhoe deal Of wear and tear, and, like the bar
ber's chair, as described by The clown, in "All .
Well that Ends WE'LL" are capable of uniyers al
adaptation to circumstances.

"GRAHAMIKG LETTERS The conduct OF Sir
James Graham, in the case Of Mr.. Mazzini's let
tiers, opened in the London post office, has given
origin to new popular phrase, descriptive Of post
office tyranny and Encouragement. Letters inter-
fered with in the post Office ere said to be "Gra-
hamed," and seals have been prepared with the
motto, "This letter not to be Grahamed"
This new phrase, " Grahaming letters" is quite
as significant in this latitude asin London. Indeed,
we believe we must claim the credit Of originality,
with respect to the introduction Of this very des
crptve epthet. Letters detained two or three days
on thier route are very properly said to be /" Gra-
hamed" Throughout the whole Post Office De-
partment Of this country, for time past, there
has been quite too much of the Graham system.
1t has been Graham and Wicklihe-WicklfTe and
Graham all lhrough-the wool Of stupidity, warped
with Inc ficiency, anda pretty web they have made
of it.

DgPRAr or THE CHARTIsrs IN BIRMINoHAM.-Th
defeat Of Mr.. Scholefed, the liberal candidate, at
the recent election in Birmingham, and the return
of conservative member, has occasioned good
deal of excitement. This triumph Of the Tory
party IN the very head quarters Of radicalsm, has
excited considerable surprise. Il has been
hailed with tremendous enthusiasm by the
Tories throughout the country, and the 60
vernment seek to find in this event no little
encouragement in their present hazardous
position. Corruption and bribery are charged upon
the supporter Of the Tory, Mr.. Spooner, who was
elected, but the defeat of Mr. Scholefeld, the Wing
candidate, was entirely owing to the persistence of
the radicals in running their candidate, Mr. Surge,
who received upwards of three hundred votes, and
occasoned sufficient disturbance in the liberal
ranks to defeat their candidate.
The result ofths election does not at all indicate
any falling off in the strength Of the anti-corn law
party. 1t has been owing to the circumstance just
mentioned. The tree trade party is daily waxing
stronger and stronger in England, and violent and
decisive struggle with its opponents cannot be very
far distant.

through three bed rooms, out the parlor window to
the basement window, slightly damaging the frames
of both. The other branch passed down by the
rain water conductor into the well, splitting the
pump into ten thousand pieces. Among other
movements pig near the house was killed, but
which branch Of the fluid committed this act had
not been satisfactorily settled at shutdown last even

time the place was struck and escaped without in
