The american Trophies in Eng
tand.--l was not aware until very
recently that the trophies taken
during the American war are not
now exhibited with the other curl
osities in the Tower. | am infor-
med that the Queen gave special
direction, some time since, that they
should al be removed to an apart
ment appropriated exclusively for
them, and on no account are they
to be exhibited This is an interes-
ting and significant fact, as showing
not only great consideration on the
part of the Queen, but a commen-
dable desire to avoid any occurrence
which might tend to interfere with
the friendly relations she is so anx-
ious to maintain with America. Ny
attention was directed to the fact by
an American gentleman who had
been visiting the Tower, and who
remarked to the attendant the abb
sence of every thing which could
recall the difficulty between Eng
land and his country. He was then
informed of Her Majesty's direc-
tons but as special favor he was
shown the apartment, and was
struck by the the neatness and COM
plete system which prevailed. Ev-
cry article is labelled, with the par
ticulars of the incident which gave
interest to it, from the bullet which
killed General Packenham 10 the
blade of an oar which caused the

TRICKS UPON THE UNWARY.

The New York papers continue to caution
country people against the tricks played
upon them by rascals in that city. Even
those who never visit Gotham are victimized
by letters informing them of valuable pack
ages for them, which they can have by re-
mitting certain sum of money or that they
will "hear of something to their advantage"
by sending dollar to an address mentioned
IN an advertisement A little reflection ought
to protect people against these TICKS
Every man who really needs valuable pack
ages may rest satisfied that he is not going
to get them except from his own industry.

she may have been the victim OF mutiny. My
