FIGHT BETWEEN A LION AND TIGER-The Birmingham (Eng) Journal describes recent fight between tiger eighteen months old and a lion six or seven years old, belonging to den of wild beasts in that city:
 The newly bought tiger had burgariously broken through the "slde" or partition divid- ing his den from that of the lion, and had the latter in his terrible grasp. The combat which ensued was terrific one. The lion acted chiefly on the defensive; and, having probably been considerably tanned by his three years confinement, the newly imported tiger had the advantage. His attacks were of the most fero- clous kind. The lions mane saved his head and neck from being much injured; but his sa- wage assailant at last succeeded in ripping up his belly, and then the poor animal was at the tigers mercy. The lion was dead in a few minutes. The scene was fearful one. The inmates of every den seemed to be excited by the conflict, and their roaring and bowling might have been heard quarter of mile dis tant.

SOUND DDoCTRINE.-Thefo following arguments Tn favor of advance payment for newspapers, were advanced by member of the Ohio edi- torlal convention, at it's recent session.
 "What would you think of farmer who had raised a thousand bushels of wheat, and who should sell it to thousand different per- sons scattered all over the State, and agree to wait year for his pay from each of them, and if one-half of them did not pay at the end of the year, he should give them another bushel of wheat, and agree to wait another year for his pay and thus go on year after year? How long would such farmer escape bankruptcy? probably not very much longer than publishers of newspapers who followed such practice. It cost the editor of weekly paper as much to supply a thousand subscribers with it for one year as it cost farmer to raise thousand bushels of wheat The farmer sells his grain in bulk, and either takes the cash or note just as good as cash upon delivery. The editor can not sell his thousand papers in bulk. They are sold to thousand different persons, living in different towns in the country, and different counties In the State, and he must wait until the eud of the year before he can get his pay Iment, and then he depends wholly upon the honesty and responsibility of the subscriber, for It Is impossible that he should know the char acter of all his subscribers. It would not pay him to go around or send around the country or State te collect his dues. It would cost more than the collection would come to-

 Below wll be found the letter of Louis Ma poleon to M. Magne. Minister of Finance, dated Paris, Nov IS:
 MONSIEUR LIE MINIsTRE-I see with pain that, without either real or apparent cause the public credit is injured by the chimerical fears and by the propagation of soj disant remedies for an evil which only exists in the imagination. In preceding years, apprehensions had some foundauon--a succession of bad harvests, con- polling us to export many hundred millions of specie to pay for the corn which we required and yet we were able to avert a crisis, and defy the sad predictions of alarmists, by simple mea- sures of prudence adopted momentarily by the Bank.
 To-day, why is it not understood that the same results are rendered yet easier by laws which permit the rise of discount, and which suifce fortlorl to preserve the Bank specie, seeing that we are in a very much better con- dition than last year, the harvest having been abundant and the metallic reserve more consi- derable? beg you to deny peremptorily all absurd projects attributed to the government- the propagation of which so easily creates alarm flor it IS not without pride that we can affirm Of France that there is no country in Europe where the public credit rests upon more exten- sve and solid basis Your remarkable report confirms 1t. Give heart to those who vainlv rghten themselves; assure them that 1 am firmly resolved not to employ empirical means only resorted to in cases, happily so rare, in which catastrophes beyond human foresight break upon a country.

MosT UNGALLANT EDIroR.--There is a fair being held in Richmond, Va, and the Whig says:
 We have no idea of provoking a personal difficulty with any of the chivalrous gentlemen who have come hither to the fair; but we do say, in spite of the world, the flesh and the devil, that Heaven, in manufacturing most of them, was exceedingly sparing of it's comedy materials. As to the female portion, language fails us to speak of their infinite merits-n terms at once truthful and graphic The amount of female homelness in town at the present time is utterly indescrbable and unim- asinable, There are few noticeable and even brilliant exceptions however, to look upon which is feast to the eye and a rapture to the soul. But may kind Providence soon take the balance to himself, and make them jewels in his crown; for their light on earth, derived from their personal appearance, will never be brighter than that emitted by rusty tenpenny nail"
