in rotation; when Mir. Wainright, of Nanches- ter, played, his fingers were so rapid that old Snetzler, the organ-builder, ran about the church, exclaiming, !" He run over de key like one cat /; he will not give my pipes time to speak"
 During MT. Wainwright's performance, Dr. Miller, the friend of Herchcl, inquired of him what chance he had of following him. "I do not know," said Herschel, but am sure fingers will not do." When it came to his turn Herschel, ascended to the organ loft, and pro- duced so uncommon a richness, such Q volume of slow harmony as astoDished all present af- ter this extemporaLeous effusion, he finished with the Old Hundred Psalm, which he play ed better than his opponent. aA
 Ay, ay," cries Snetzler, "'tish very goot inteet. l will luf tis man he give my pipes room for to speak,
 Herschel, being asked by what means he preduoed so astonishing an effect, replied, I told you fingers would not do ; and produc. ing two pieces of lead from his waistcoat pock- ct said, "One of these I. laid on the low est key of the organ, and the other upon the octave above; and thus, by accommodating the harmony, produced the effect of four hands, instead of two" This superiority of skill obtained Herschcl the situation but ho had too many other and higher objects in view to suffer him long to retain it.

SPIRITED AND MERIrED REBUKE.-Parson S--, rather eccentric character, was called to preach the funeral sermon of hard case named Ram, which he did in the follow ing unique style :-
 My beloved brethren and sisters, if our beloved brother Ram would want somebody to come and tell lies about him, and make him out a better matter man than he was, he would not have chose me to preach his funeral sermon. No, my brethren, he wanted to be held up as burning and shining light, to warn you from the error of your ways. He kept horses, and he runn'd lem he kept chickens, and he fout lem. Our dear brother had many warnin's, brethren. The first was when he broke his leg, but still he went on in the error of his ways. The second warnin' was when his sou Peter hung himself in jail ard the last and greatest warnin' of all was, he died him. self" The preacher enlarged upon these top. ics until he sunk Ram so low that his hearers began to doubt whether he would ever succeed in getting him up again 1; and, as usual in flu nerals, landing him,in Abraham's bosom. This was the object of the second part of the ser. mon, which started thus :-" My brethren,

ELIZABETH BRowNINe-A correspondent of

ELIZABETH BRowNING-A correspondent of the Boston Transcript says
 Since Hiawatha appeared, the long poem which has sold the best in this country, is ' Aurora Leigh" Despite much critical ob- jection, especially on the part of the conserya- tive in poetic taste, the vital power and genu- inc inspiration eff the work has made it univer sally recognized as the emanation of original genius. A friend now in Florence, gives the following account, in recent letter, of a visit to the gifted author "I learned that the Brownlngs had returned and were at their old quarters" Casa Guidl" When 1 rang at the door, learned, with extreme regret that Mrs. Browning was suffering deep affliction from the loss of relative. Mir. Browning, however received me :: and, at his suggestion, after lalsA of some weeks, 1 renewed ny ,i f. |. Fancy to yourself an old palace drawing-room, with faded arms, furnished with black oak, carved furniture, book cases of the same, carv- ed, one might fancy, by Anthony of Trent, himself and weighed down by ancient looking books, many of them bound ill parchment. Cinque Cento pictures, Giottos, with golden back grounds, look down from the walls-and the whole air of the room is shady, dreamy, and poetic. Just as I was about to sit down l heard light rustlng, aud Mir. B. said Heres Mrs.- r,"-plcasant, simple intro duction The lopg-wished for moment had come and stood before the poet. She is a small, slight figure, and as she stood by the side of her well-built husband, looked almost like another style of being--so spiritual, so pale with her long dark curls, and eyes full, dark, soft, and wonderfully expressivc,--in which the genius of the woman is clearly seen. She talked so kindly and with such simplicity, that 1 really loved her: and was astonished to find that l had been with her an hour and half. To my taste, Mrs. Browning is vely lovely in appearance, aud in the tones of her voice and in an nexpressble gentleness of manner. She spoke of her American friends with much feel ing, Her child is beautiful boy of eight sum- mers, with long golden curls, and his mothers soft large eyes so fresh and unused to other boys, he looks if he had just dropped from the skies"

INGENUITY OF PARIsIAN THIEvEs.--The in- genuity of Parisian thieves is well illustrated by the following occurrence
 Two well-dressed persons stopped on Tues day evening, between nine and ten o'clock, be- fore the shop of a grocer named Crotan, Rue de Normandie, at Bercy, and burst into a very loud laughter.
 1 tell you that I will do it." said one.
 " pli bet you five francs you do not" said the other.
 Done--I take the bet"
 Beth entered the shop
 Do you sell treacle 2" said the first.
 Yes, gentleman" said the grocer. : Give me two pounds of it." -E Have you any vessel to put it in 2"
 No; /; but put it in here."
 What in your hat 2"
 Pour it in it's for wager"
 The grocer took the hat, placed it in the scale, aud much amused at the idea, poured into it two pounds of treacle
 "There's the money" said the purchaser, and he threw down five france piece.
 The grocer began to count the change, when the man said
 Pardon me, sir, but your trcacle has queer smell"
 cts very good, assure you"
 "No, smell it."
 The grocer put down his head to the hat, and at the same moment, the customer, by a rapid movement, thrust the mans head into the hat, and as the grocer instinctively raised his head, the customer knocked his hat over his eyes. The other man then plunged his hand into the till and seized handful of mo- ney, about thirty francs. Both got clear off before the unfortunate grocer could give tho alarm" e..

 From Europe we have one weeks later news by the arrival of the Earopa at this port. The London and Paris money markets were still growing easier, and there continued to be an influx of gold to the Bank of Eng land, which had reduced its rate of discount from eight to six per cent.
