EouAL1TY.-It is asserted in some of the
Northern newspapers that there are more land
holders in the State of Massachusetts, alone
than in NIL England and ireland together. We
do not know what authority this declaration
has; but it nccords with our own impressions,
and tells, in forcible and practical way, the
difference between the tendencies of nm arts
tocracy and republic.

DR. FRANKLIN's "PooR RIcHARD."-J. Dog
gett, of New York, has recently issued " Poor
Richards Almanac" with a Calendar for 1852,
and containing the editorials written by DR..
Franklin for the years 1889, 1740, and 1741.
1t may not be known to all our readers that
Franklin edited, printed, and published an Al
manac with the above title for tcenty-Sir gears !;
yet such was its popularity in its day, that two
or three editions were not unfrequently de-
manded during the year. In this neatly-exe-
cuted work may be found the wit and wisdom,
the maxims and sayings, of their world-re-
nowned author.

GENERAL Scorr.-This noble and gallant old
chieftain was nominated for the Presidency by
the Wings of Pennsylvania and Ohio, and in
both of these States have the Wings been beaten.
Now this is not the Geaerars way of doing
things. He has fought many battles, and never
known defeat But then he was present and
managed them himself 1t may be, however,
that he never contended with republican Ameri-
cans before.

ion, beautiful, economical, and efficient. Who
ever has witnessed the brilliant appearance Of
an apothecary's windows can comprehend, in
moment, an important feature in the improve
ment proposed. We trust Mr. Bennett may
have favorable hearing; for we believe his
superior plan, and the moderate and modest
terms he proposes, cannot but meet with favor.

CAsrLrs IN srA1n. TINE New York Dais

| CASTLES IN SPAIN. The New York DdilS
Times, of Saturday, says that "there is u grea'
deal Of speculation ahoat about the prooaois
upshot of the special Spanish ENJOYS visit 70
Washington. All that appears to be known
is, that such messenger is on his way tnither;
that he goes backed up with subscription
spaper bearing the signatures and counter-sig-
| .natpres Of Victoria r., Palmerston, and Louis
Napoleon; that a guarantee of the indepen-
dence of Cuba is to be demanded; and that
Mr.. Webster will have the handling of the
man and the matter. The impression is prev
alent that Chevalier Hulsemann is likely to
have a sympathizing companion in his morti-
flying diplomatic oyerthrows. IL would not be
the first time that Spain and Austria have
consoled themselves together for common adj
versity and common contempt. The house of
iIapsburg was wont to have family feeling
in such calamities"
If "AIr. Webster will have the handling Of
the man and the NATTER" we can afford to dis
pense with all anxiety on the subject. We
have never known him to be worsted in such
m affair, nor his country to regret confiding
such matters to him.
A CAPTIVE MAYOR We were not little
astonished, ON looking into the police doings
this morning, to find that tn; kind and gentle
manly Mayor of our sister city, Henry Addison,
esq, had been bound over in the sum Of five
hundred dollars, on Saturday last, to keep the
peace toward all the inhabitants of this District,
and Brooke Mackall, esq., also highly respect
able citizen, in particular!
We learn that these gentlemen have for few
years VERY unwisely, no doubt been standing
apart on unfriendly terms On Friday last, it
happened that they met at an omnibus door in
such manner as to bring their persons in con-
tact--wilfully on the part of Mr.. Addison, as
Mr.. Mackall believed and minated; but the
conversation ended in proposition from Mr..
Addison, for some merely nominal considera-
ton, to break every bone in Mr.. MackalPs
body Mr.. Mackall had not learned in osteology
that oil his bones would knit together again );
or if he had, he felt no assurance that they
would unite in their original shapes. For these
and other valid reasons, therefore, he declined
to give the consideration indicated, and very
wisely came to Washington in separate 'buss
with whole bones And Justice Grub, who
wished to preserve entire the bones of every
body, and the peace of the community, issued
a special warrant for our esteemed friend the
Mayor, and made him give good bond to be
broken simultaneously with the fracture Of
anybody's Uranium even, by the hands Of the
said Mr.. Addison.
