Timber for the British
Government.

Our forests are yielding their riches for the
forts and war-ships Of Great Britain. John
Bull has received in the past three years from
this country thirty large ship-loads of a supe-
rior white osk, from the line of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, on the Allegheny Noun
tains. Three hundred men are now engaged,
near Cheat River, telling and preparing this
timber, which is worked up in England for gun
carriages. Brother j. furnishes J. B. steam
cylinder presses and gun-stocks, and We hope
will never have occasion to take the guns or
the stocks away from her, unless the grumbler
miabehayes himself In this San Juan affair.

frrevefent Conduct Of a Dog.

Among the historical anecdotes Of dogs, Il
must not be forgotten that the memorable schism
between England and Rome, which commenced
in the reign Of Henry VII was rendered irrecon-
cilable BY the irreverent behavior Of Sir Thomas
Doleyn's dog to Pope Clement the Seventh.
Sir Thomas Boleyp, who was iither Of the cele-
brated Anne BOleyn, afterwards one Of the queens
Of Henry VIII, had been created Earl Of Wit
shire BY that monarch, and was at the head Of
the embassy appointed by him to argue the point
Of his divorce from Catharine Of ArragOn, before
the council at Bologna, in the presence Of the
Pope. The Pope, when he gave audience to the
Earl, required that he should acknowledge his SUI
premacy by kissing his toe.
This the Earl being Of the reformed religion, pos
itively refused 70 do, although Il was piece Of
homage which all sovereigns Of Europe were ac-
custOmed % perform when admitted into the pres
ence Of the papal church. While Clement, IN q
very high tone, was insisting on the propriety Of
the English Earl submitting TO the ceremony and
extending his toe significantly towards him, at
the same time the Earl's dog, imagining, no doubt
that signal insult was intended to his master, BY
this gesture, sprang forward and bit bis holinesss
toe, which provoked ageneral laughter ifom all
present, and was 50 highly resented by the Pope
that be refused to admit the Earl to q second au-
dience.
The Earl Of wiltshire returned to England
with his suite, and the separation Of that country
from the papal sect took place in less than four
years after this ridiculous accident.

A Speculation.

The following incident actually took place in
Baltimore few years since. As an evidence Of
the truth Of the event. It is said that the compan-
ions OF the young woman were not long in discov-
ering that one Of their number all Of sudden left
their ranks.
"How do you sell those flowers 2" said q good
looking stranger Of one Of the Southern States,
to pretty little damsel in the market, who bad
hitherto been compelled TO sell pinks, posies, and
similar notions, honestly to maintain herself and
family. et

ing up to the gaze Of the gentleman sweetecented
bunch.
Cheap" said the Southerner.
"Indeed they are" said the maiden.
$50 much so, that cannot possibly conceive
how you can make living at the business"
All, sir" said the pretty little damsel, the
times are hard, and we are compelled to do the
best we can. By economy, sir, we do manage TO
get along. Did those who live in gttering palaces
but know how severe is the lot Of the detected and
poor, we might, perhaps get trihe more for our
labor. But alas! sorry am to be compelled to
say it. justice IS blind, and dim indeed is the vision
Of opulence."
Here the stranger, touched by the powerful re-
marks Of the flower girl, was seen TO drop his
however. he Continued as follows:

When the frigate Consultation was at Malta, in

."Oh. do introduce me to that splendid man" "

It happened that our officer was acquainted with

Of course after such an answer, the American
officer ascertained the ladys wishes before the
introduction.
"Never mind, never mind" said shei "show

This the officer was doing, and, as he approached
with the exquisite, the lady, putting up her gass
and surveying the creature from top TO toe at the
same time motiOning back with her hand, ex-
claimed:

We observe that the Duke of Devonshire
has withdrawn this famous volume from the
British Museum. Doubtless, after the war of
words to which it has given rise he is afraid
TO trust 1t out OF his sight. In the meantime,
however it is announced that he intends 10
submit il to the inspection of a committee
composed Of the most eminent scientific men.
paleographists, chemists, antiquaries, and men
of general literature, who are TO decide the
senuineness of the corrections. On this
committee no man is to sit who has ever had
anything TO do with publishing any edition
Of SHAKsPEARE, or has rendered himself
noted by any writing in connection with
Shakspearian subjects, or who has ever had
any connection with the British Museum, or
anybody or thing belonging to II. The MS
Department Of the Museum will be put
TO . severe trial. Upon ii depends their fn-
ture reputation; for, If the question shall be
decided against them, they will be set dow
as a congregation OF presumptuous asses,
whom il is unsafe to trust with any thing
likely 10 involve the character of others, or
men Of judgment and sense. The trial will
be hardly less severe on Mr.. COLLIER We
can but wish him safely through it.
