II was suddenly Urged on behalf vi
hs barbefs that, In the abstract, their s no dis
tinction between the hair OF the chin and the
hair of the head the form of the instrument
nsed To remove il did not affect the question:
whether the operation was performed by the
razor or scissors was matter of indifference.
The office Of the barber WAS TO remove super /
fuous hair wherever il grew, ergo, they had as
good a right TO clip as to NOW. The wigmakcrs,
eyading the abstract question 'of right, repre-
sented that the BARRIERS did not conhne them
selves to clipping, bat comb, brush, trim, curl,
oil, wash, anoint and otherwise dress and adorn
the heads OF, customers, and that these higher
branches Of the art belonged OF right to the
wgmakerS, who alone can legally create che
pel,tre. The BARRIERS rejoined by an objection,
rs fatal as that in the celebrated case Of Shy
lock vs.. Aatonio (in Shakspeares reports.) They
that the business of the wigmakers
only began where that OF the BARRIERS ended,
when there was no hair left To cut with perfect
badness the head became the property Of the
artist in peruques, and at this point the BARRIERS
were ready TO abandon it, retaining only right
of property in the chin. The magistrates con-
sdered the force of the objection, and the bar
bers have lrumphed. The above is only a re-
production Of the arguments RI ally used before
the court which decides such disputes, and they
occur daily. 1t may be said that all the trades
of Berlin now sue ench other to establish what
belong to one guild and what to
another. If all the clams were listened to, we
should shortly arrive at an Oriental division of
emplovments, and to get one article complete,
it would be necessary to go to half dozen
shops for the component parts of it.
DENMARK AND THE DucHIEs.
The Fensburg correspondent of the Copen-
hagen Post says, that in the sitting of the con-
ference on the 3lst nit, the Holstein notables
put in protest against the organic project of
law supported by the government the Danish
and Schleswig notables replied by counter pro-
test; ana it was rumored that, in consequence,
the Hostein notables intended withdra wing from

ITALY.
The Tuscan government has suppressed the
Statute of Florence, for having published an nc
count of the massacre by the troops, and gen.

worship in the church of Santa Groce, on the
29th May.
SINGULAR GEOLOGICAL FAcT--At Modena,
in Italy, within circle Of four miles around the
city, wherever the earth is dug, and the work
men arrive at the distance of sixty-three feet,
they come to bed of chalk, which they bore
with an augur five fee. deep. They then with
draw from the pit before the augur is removed,
and upon its extraction, the water bursts up
with great violence, and quickly fills the well
thus made, the suppy.of water being affected
neither by rains nor droughts. At the depth of
fourteen feet are found the ruins of an ancient
city, houses, paved streets, and mosaic work.
Below this, again, is layer of earth, and at 26
feet walnut trees are found entire, and with
leaves and walnuts still upon them At % feet |
soft chalk is found, and below this vegetables
and trees MS before.
TURKEY.
Advices from Constantinople of the 18th
ult state that the new French Ambassador, NJ. |
de Lavaette, has handed to the Sultan energetic
autograph letters from the Pope and the
President, claiming the right of the Catholic
Christians over the Holy Sepuchre against the
Greek Christians. The Russian Ambassador,
on the other hand has delivered what very much
resembles formal protest, and adds the follow
ing ad litional reasons in favor Of the rights of
Russia over the Sepulchre IL. About fifty |
years since a quarrel broke out between the
Greeks and the Armenians, on the subject of
the Holy Sepulchre. A commission, formed ofI
three Ulemas, two Greek and two Armenian
bishops, terminated the quarrel by deciding that
It belonged to the Greeks. There were then at |
sfaptipopla Erapch h.o 81,
bishops, and legate of the Pope, but no obiec. |
ton was made by them. 9 Some years since,
after the burning of the Temple the Greeks and
Turks made collections for its reconstruction !
1t was done, and no Catholic power protested or
pretended that the Greeks had built on ground |
which did not belong to them. g. France pretends
that the Holy Sepuchre was taken from the |
Turks by the Crusaders, and Incorporated by |
reaties with Catholic Christianity The Holy |
Sepulchre had, however belonged to the Greeks |
before the Turks and the Moors had possession
of it.
News from Constantinople to the oath Nav |
state that Mehemet Ali Pasha the Sultan's
who had been superseded in the
Ministry of War, was subsequently re-admitted
Minister without portfolio. This is reaction
against Resehid.
