FRENCH DENTlsTRY.-A riot took place
in NewOrleans few davs ago, under pecu-
liar circumstances. A dentist desirous of
establishing himself in that city, went to the
Frere Directerr of the Charity Schools un-
der his direction, and after exhibiting his
diplomas, ect., said that he wished to adver-
tise his talent and residence, and that if the
Frere would allow it he would do so by
gratuitously exerting his professional serv-
ices on the charity school children. His of
fer was accepted. The parents were re-
quested 10 come and witness the operations
performed. A great many of them came,
but good many did not receive the mess
age, their children having forgotten to de-
liver it. Nearly every child in school had
some teeth extracted. The parents who
he'd not received the message were sur
prised to see their children come home in
the evening with bleeding gums and swol-
| len faces; a rumor was started that some
spectators in false teeth had adopted this
method of obtaining the object of their trai-
fc, cruelty disregarding the "atrocious suf-
lerings of the poor children;" the whole
town was panic. stricken, and in an instan,
all the schools were attacked by mob oI
men and women; the doors of nearly all the
boarding schools were broken open, and
the children liberated, amid the shrieks o
the women, go, Mon Diea, Mon Dieu"
and there was general saure qai pent. The
excitement continued to increase next day
as according to rumor, several children haC
died after horrible sufferings, and nearly al
the others were at the point of death BY
lockiaw. II the dentist had fallen into tn,
hands of the people, he would have beef
lynched. The policy suggested to him tha
it would be safest ir he quit the place. Char
ty is sometimes dangerous!--C Cor. Bosto

man. TINT Hans Karg. He had beautiful
Madonna-loOking daughter, who no more
resembled him than does flower tie root.
"Hans, how on earth do you keep the pO-

one cold morning.
"Fy, makes Carolina sleep on De bova-
toes" answered Hans, ''dat keeps dem from

There was a man who came into coun
try store with an egg. which he wished to
exchange for darning- needle. To oblige
him, the store-keeper agreed to the trade.
Tbe bargain over, the egg dealer asked
Don't you always treat when you've driy,
en- tTade!"
mot FOR SO small trade" answered the
merchant
"A trades trade, whether IT'S for one
egg or a thousand!'
Aghast at the mans meanness, the store.
keeper complied, and asked, "What will
you take!"

The store-keePer said nothing. but took
the egg which he had just received from the
man. and broke it. 1t happened to be dou-
ble-yolked.
"There," exclaimed the mean man." now
you must give me fvo needles, 'cause that,
a double egg.I gave YOU"
And that was avery mean youth who de-
fined love as "a prodigaI desire on the pars

PAYING LIKE SIN1ER.- Several years a.
go, in North Carolina, where it is not Gus
tomary for the tavern keepers to charge the
ministers anything for lodging and refresh
men,, preacher presumingly stopped at
tavern one evening, made himself comfort
able during the night, and in the morning
entered the stage without offering to pay for
his accommodations. The landlord soon
came running up to the stage, and said,
"There was some one who had not settled
his bill" The passengers all said they
had, but the preacher, who said he under
stood he never charged ministers anything.
"What, you minister of the gospel; man
of God" cried the inn keeper. "You came
to my house last night, you sat down at the
table without blessing; lit you up to
your room, and you went to bed without
praying toyOur Maker, (or stood there
until you retired) you rose and washed
without prayer; eat your breakfast with
out saying grace; and as you came to my
house like sinner, and ate and drank like
sinner, you have got to pay like a sin

Two PREssUREs.-It seems 70 be npreef
that there is a slight pressure in our Money
Market just now-temporary and casual, o
course, and having no foundation in the
laws Of Trade; but still rather inconvenienI
while it lasts, and not TO be brushed aside
for two or three weeks yet, until our broker:
and operators return from their summer rus
tications. Meantime, Stocks have been
sinking, sinking, daily, until some of them
can hardly sink further, and it is hoped that
the bottom has at length been reached. We
shall be glad TO find it SO.
On the other side of the Atlantic, we hear
of another pressure-a pressure of goods on
the Liverpool docks, struggling and scuffi.

ard Steamers, and in good part Obliged to lie

ing the chances. We have now before us
a Liverpool Circular, giving an account Of
an angry meeting Of shippers of that city
protesting against alleged partially and un.
fairness on the part of the agents ofthe Coll.
ins steamers. 1t opens as follows:
"For some time past the deficiency oI
steamer Tonnage, and the great gQqntity ot
goods ofsring, haue caused so great a pressur,
for epery Sset, that they have been declar.
ed full within few hours after commenc.
ing to load. In consequence, it had be.
come necessary to send goods down many
hours before the time of opening the gate:
tor the reception of cargo, in order to secure
their being received in the priority of arr
val"
Here you observe are two pressmes
one at New York for cash, the otherat Liv
erpool for ships to transport British Manu-
facturcs to this city. 1t may be very Old
Fogyish. antiquated and all that; but WI
can't help thinking that one of these press
ures is consequent upon the other, and tina
the way to secure ease in the New Yorl
Money Market is through the diminution o
that other pressure on the Liverpool dock.
and Atlantic steamers.
Reader! reflect on the matter, and say
whether we are or are not right

FRANK CoRwIN.-This gentleman has per-
formed an act that ought to make his name
immortal ,iThe CiacianatiEnquirer says that
some time since Mr. Corwn went to New
York with authority to purchase iron for
twenty miles ofthe Cincinnati, Wilmington
and Zanesvilc road, of which he is Presi-
dent. When in market he found he could
purchase enough for seventy miles more at
good rates, but his limit by the Directory
was twenty miles. He determined to close
the contract for the seUsnty miles on his pri-
vate account, which he did. Iron soon rose
in value, so much SO that his contract was
worth 100000 above what he had agreed
to pay. 1t was legally, and fairly his, but
with disinterestedness almost without a
parallel, he gave the Company the entire
benefit of his bargain without cents COM
pensation. We agree with the Enquirer in
saying that the road cannot fail to flourish

At o'clock, A. NJ, We cleared ship for ac-
tion, as did the Austrian brig, schooner, and
two steamers. We mounted twenty guns,
four sixty-eight Founders and sixteen thirty
two Founders; the Austrian brig sixteen
thirty-two pound carronades, the schooner
ten twelve pound carronades, and the steam
ers each four twelve pound carronades. A II
preparation was made, and thousands flock
ed to the shore to see the fight. We car
ried 200 men; they had in all 240. A COM
mittee of gentlemen on shore, not wishing
to see bloodshed indeed it would have
been a hard ight-called upon the Austri-
an Consul, and the matter was arranged by
delivering COSTA up to the care of the
French Consul, who is responsible for his
body, to be delivered only by the agree
ment ofthe Austrian and American Con-
sus. So the matter now rests with the two
governments. These are the unvarnshed
