says that she receives nine hundred and sixty dol

which are the wages OF her labar, seven more the
profit on her acquired capital of knowledge and

The existence OF the great sea serpent has
hitherto bee matter OF as much speculation In
the minds of many persons as who was the author
Of Junius. The English papers have ever cast
large share of rldicule on American versions of
its existence. 1t the account is to be believed, it
Is no longer one OF doubt, as various of the crew
OF her MaJesty's ship DGdalus have seen the
hcially to the Admiralty. AS depicted in the
penny periodicals. OF the day, for the edfcation of
the million, It Is an awful sarpant," with
dragons head and barbed tail, such as ancient
pictures represent Satan to be the owner of.
Connected with the political commissions on the
continent of Europe, has been the expulsion of
the Jesults from several of Its Kingdoms and
States Many have already found an asylum in
thority, that no fewer than five hundred will take
up their abode In America, beyond the Rocky
mountains, there to found colonies and missions.
part are already in the new world, and the re-
for departure. AS far as appearances are con-
cerned, the circumstance might not be generally
known, as the policy OF this order Is never to want
publicity In country like the States, they can
never become troublesome. On the contrary,
wherever they settle, they will show an example
OF exemplary industry and clrcumspechon. In
these days OF enlightenment, their religious tenets
and ascetic discipline are only bugbears to the
weak minded iaI1ailc, Who ought ratler to Prev tor
their conversion, than hunt them down like wild
beasts.
Frem the Jesuits, turn to the Bible, the printing
OF which, up to a late period, was monopoly, in
the gift OF the Crown. The Scotch establishment
OF Sir David Hunter Blair has Just been brought
to the hammer. The whole material and stock
have been sold. The law that conferred this un-
just monopoly, to enhance the price OF the Scrip
lures, was sometimes evaded. The manner in
which twas done was to PRINT notes at the bottom
OF each page, with convenient space for the
binder to cut them off, which was regularly done,
and then Bible, similar to those of the monopo-
lists, was sold at half the price.
Whilst discussing matters connected with reli-
calling into exercise the authority of the President
OF the Wesleyan Conference IN expelling Minis
ter in Cornwall, from that society. The reverend
gentleman's delinquency was the assumption of
beard, la NaHcaise. The President insisted on
the free use of the razor as the only means by
which he could purge, himself from his contumacy.
The partor asserted the right of private Judgment
In such matters-claimed the sanction of antiquity
in his favour, and referred with glowing enthusi-
asm to the noble boards of our forefathers, Moses
and Aaron Both parties were memorable and the
consequence is that the poor preacher is now in
search OF another rostrum, where his adOrnment
may escape the censure of a superior.
A paragraph is running the round of the papers
which holds forth Queen Vlctoria's good example
to young ladies as worthy of following during d.
vine service. Whilst In Scotland, Her Majesty

passages quoted by the Minister, and mingled her

at all times been considered a powerful means OF
inspiring devotional feeling, but 1t has of late
years been matter Of regret among the; educated
classes IN Scotland, that the purltancal prediec-
tons of the country have hitherto proved an OBJ
stacle to the introduction OF really good music into
the service of the kirk. Some years ago an at
tempt was made by minister in the south to in
slant clamor was raised against worshipping
God through the instrumentality of a pair OF
bellows.
In England, little Is known by the public about
projected marriages, except those between members
OF the great arstocratic families An exception to
this rule now occurs, IN the announcement OF that
