morning, a little shaver, about twelve years old,
went to some whiskey establishment in town,
and obtained liquor enough to give him a rather
ubiquitous carriage. After becoming comfort
ably drunk, one of his conn ades took him to the
river, to wash the rum out. The little fellow
came very near drowning, but finally wallowed
ashore The last wc knew Of him, be was ira
yelling homeward, like circus clown, getting
over the ground by dnt Of . serics Of beautiful

WHY NANKEEN WENT OUT OF FASHION,
In the days of our grandlathers there was
nothing SO faShinable for summer wear as nan
keen. No gentleman would be seen abroad
or at home in dress of which this material
did not go to the making of portion; and as
we ever fixed the fashion on questions of male
costume, the mode was adopted in France, and
English nankeens threatened to drive all
French manufactured articles for summer wear
out OF the market. Louis XIV, however
surmounted the difficulty; he ordered all the
executioners and their assistants to perform
their terrible office in no other dress but one
OF nankeen. This rendered the materill "in-
famous" and many man. who deserved to
be hanged, discarded the suit because Sim
liar one was worn by the man who did the
hanging. So Mrs. Turner, the poiSoner, Ge-
ing executed, in the reign of James l. in
yellow starched ruff, put to death the fashion
Of wearing them"

RETURN OF CAPTAIN HARTSTEIN. - The
London Times announces that Captain Hart
stein and officers and crew. will return to the
United States in her Maesty's steamer Re-
tribution, now at her station at Portsmouth.
The vessel was to leave England the day after
Christmas, and she may be expected at this
port within ten days. Capt Hartstein dined
with the Queen at Osborn, where she engaged
him in familiar conversation for nearly an hour
Lady Franklin entertained the officers at her
house at Brighton, with great hospitality. and
their return to this country was delayed on
this account solely. A recent letter from Mr.
Barrow, of the Admiralty, to friend in this
city, states that another expedition in search
of Sir John Franklin is determined on, probably
under the direction of DIR. King
