ton. The proportion is still more considerable in
Flanders, where paupersm seems to be passing into
chronic state, as in Ireland This state CT things is
attributed to two accidental and the other

Five Sovereign pieces have been coined in England
and what makes the fact worthy of notice. is this
that the reverse of the coin bears the figure of the
British Queen as Una, guarded by the Lion. This is
another tribute from the Majesty of England to one
of It's early poets. Spencer, when writing his beau
tifnl lines describing the scene, could have little
imagined that the current coin of the realm would
one day borrow its beauty from his verse.

the leopard and the panther, lying with their

for one to keep watch while the others sleep. The
sentry is relieved with as much regularity as in q
well regulated camp of soldiers, although not pro-
badly, with much precision in regard to time. The
sentinel PAGES back and forth, and very careful moi
to touch do any thing to arouse his comrades o.
casionally he lies down. but always with his head to-
wards the front of the cage and sleeps until he
is relieved. This singular custom, Herr Driesbacl

.CoLr's REpEATERs-T The New York correspondent
of the Charleston Evening News, under date OF Dec
2lst, writes:
We are expecting a visit this week, from Capt
Walker the famous leader of the Texas light troops
the best in the world, asGen. Worth says and well
may he say So for they did the best part OF his busi
ness to his hand at Monterey. THIS visit of Capt
Walker to New York. is on business connected with
the service, of an interesting character.
You may remember, that some years ago, the Texan
navy was furnished with supply of Colts repeating
pistols When the navy laid up, these arms were
given to the mounted rifemen. 1t was by the aid OF
these that the Texans the frontier were enabled to
gain decisive victories over many times their numbers
of the Camanches who supposed themselves equal to
the Texans, man to man. Both Col Hays and Capt.
Walker owe their lives TO Colts repeaters, and thus
declare it to be the most perfect in the world
Walker has, after much solicitation induced the De-
par,ment to arm the regiment to which ne belongs
with these formidable arms but he obliged to ap-
peal to the President before the order granted.
The heads of the bureau at Washington not very
favorable Innovations however great the improve
ment When the gallant officer applied for these
arms they said seen Scott don't approve of them.

"Give my regiment Colts repeaters, and we vii
