The steamer Northern Light which arrived at

A correspondent Of the London times bears
testimony to the liberty enjoyed by the British
and Americans in the kingdom Of Naples, and
cites many instances where the activity Of the
representatives OF those nations obtained ample
redress lately in cases where their countrymen
had been wronged by subaltern officials.
The reception of the king of Portugal at
Naples had been on scale Of unusual mag
niicence, and, it was said, he had arrived to
seek matrimonial alliance with the house Of
Bourbon. The eldest daughter Of the king Of
Naples is IL years and some months old, and
according to the law in that country, has been
manageable these two years.

The Mayor of London Drunk.

A Paris correspondent gives the following ac-
count of an official visit of the Lord Mayor of
London to Fontainebleau:
son this occasion the Lord Mayor and several
of the Aldermen of London (who were then the
guests of the municipal authorities of Paris)
were accompanied by M. Edouard Thayer, whose
loquacity is proverbial, and who speaks English
with great fiuency and correctness.
CATER several hours devoted to sightseeing,
splendid dinner was served up to our dear
guests to restore them little after the fatigues
of the day, at which the municipal officers of
Fontainebleau were present. AT first all went
on tremendously; but after a good supply of
champagne had been imbibed, Nj. Thayer s
tongue was loosened, and on the occasion of a
toast offered to the union OF France and Eng
land, he pronounced discourse which, advanc-
ing from one-quarter of an hour to another,
gradually assumed the most magnificent proper
TONS
"The Lord Mayor was anxious to show that
in long windedness no nation surpassed the
British; and scarcely had NJ. Thayer ended than
he arose and gave free vent to his eloquence,
making a reply half as long again But the as
constituent of the guests exploded in shouts OF
laughter when they perceived that the cham
payne, mounting into the head OF the worthy
civic chief was causing him TO utter the most
absurd and extravagant language. This flow of
words, however, far from diminishing, seemed
constantly to increase, until the senior alder
man, seating himself by the side of the Mayor,
pulled him by the sleeve, a hint that il was
time for him to stop.
ellis honor, however, took the interruption in
no very good part and with a volley of oaths of
the most energetic character requested his col
league TO leave him alone. This was only pre-
lude to regular mill between these worthy city
fathers, which all the Frenchmen present hasten
cd to quell.
"The Lord Mayor, furious at the interruption,
wished to fight any one with pistols at six PAGES
such were the melancholy effects of the cham
payne upon him. But by the next day the fury
of the combatahts had disappeared under the in
fluence Of slumber, and NJ. Thayer succeeded in
effecting a complete reconciliation between them
as they breakfasted with him at his well covered

TO LOVERS OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.



i uate Of the Polytechnic School OF Paris, re-
specially ofeis his services as teacher OF his
native tongue to Schools, Glasses, and Private
Pupils of this city and vicinity The system he
follows 10 facilitate the acquisition Of the French
Language, unites in due proportion theory and
practices by which avoided the difficulties the
student often meets with N pursuing one Of the
many theoretical grammars, not sufficiently show
ing the idiomancal part Of the language, or prac-
teal one, in which the necessary grammatical
rules, if not entirely, al east far too much, are
neglected. In following these theoretical gram
mars, the student must have experienced that
after having devoted long time 10 the mere me-
morizing of sentences he find himself in posses
sion of number Of set phrases valuable il is
true, but from which, destitute of landmarks, the
slightest deviation must lead him into unknown
regions,
The advertiser feels confident in the assertion
that The pupil in adopting his method, may, with
little effort after course of fortpetght lessons,
understand and speak the French, and find the as
sistance of a teacher not necessary in the further
prosecution OF the studies OF that language.
Instruclionin Pencil Drawing, Pastel Painting,
and Penmauship, also he had from the adver
tser.

THE ANGELS IN THE HOUSE
BY T. y. ALDRICH.

BY T. y. ALDRICH
Three pairs Of dimpled arms white snow,
Held me in soft embrace;
Three little checks, like velvet peaches soft.
Were placed against my face.
Three tiny pairs Of eyes, so clear, 50 deep,
Looked up in mine Ibis ev'n;
Three pairs Of lips kissed me sweet good night"
Three little forms from heav'n
All, lis well that oille ones should love us;
II lights our fate when dim,
To know that once our poor Saviour babe them
Bring q little ones" 10 him
Said he not, "Cf such is Heaven and blessed
them,
And held them 10 his breast!
Isl not sweet 10 know that when they leave us,
lis there they 90 10 rest
And yet, We tiny angels Of my house
Three hearts escaped in mine
How twould be shattered. II the Lord should say
These angels are not thine =
