      A Letter Io The Tenantry Of Ireland, Con...

      A Letter io the Tenantry of Ireland , containing an exposition of the Rackrent System ; and pointing out a Remedy , fyc , fyc . By William Coskeb , Esq . Dublin ; J . B . Gilpin , 59 , Dame-street . Mr . Conner is the oldest and the most indefatigable of the defenders of the rights of the tenantry of Ireland , and this pamphlet is welltimed , now that the Tenant Bight question is giving rise to a new Irish . Agitation . In the work before us Mr . Conner commences with an eloquent denunciation of the "Bac & rent

      System , " the main evils of which are exorbitancy of rent and insecurity of tennrfe . He proposes a two-fold remedy— *• a valuation and perpetuity f observing that—A perpetuity will avail nothing without a valuation , as what tenant , even though having a perpetuity of his farm , could continue to bold it at a , loss by exorbitancy of rent ? And again , a valuation will afford so protection to the tenant without a perpetuity ,- for when the term or lease expires , the tenant loses thefarm altogether , although he should have it at a fair rent by valuation . Therefore , it is a valuation and perpetuity , sot separately , but coniointly and together , which can effectually remedy

      the rackrent system , and afford roll and complete protection to the tenant Bearing in mind this property of our twofold remedy , Ietus , by tub test , try the chief remedies which have been advocated from time to time , and we shall find their total insufficiency to arise from the omission of a valuation , or of a perpetuity , or of both . Thus the tenant right of Ulster is clearly insufficient as a remedy for the raekrent system , from . its possessing no valuation for the fair regulation of rent . In proof of this , Mr . Berwick's case , as recorded by bun in his published pamphlet , is quite conclusive . Mr- Berwick gave the large sum of £ 1 , 000 for the tenant right of- LJsnabreeni-courity

      Down , on the estate of the Marquis of Downsbire ; he expended the further sum of £ 800 in permanent improvements ; and "when the lease expired ,-his landlord , Lord D ., set a rent on the house , and a large acreable rent on the land , so that , notwithstanding his tenant right , Mr . Berwick was glad to get his hands out of Jisnabreen with the loss of nearly all his £ 1 , 800 . It is so obvious , as hardly to seed the remark that had Mr . Berwick a valuation , Ms landlord couldnot have invaded Lira at all , much less have committed the wholesale plunder detailed by him , and which has never been denied by his landlord , nor by any one ou bis behalf . It is equally plain that had Mr . B . a valuation , without a

      perpetuity , he would stall have been put out on the expiration of the lease—proving that without both a va luation and a perpetuity conjointly and together , he could have no security or protection whatever . And further , those plans which consist in securing the tenant in the amount of his improvements , on his being turned out of . his farm , at the expiration of his term or lease , have neither a valuat ion nor a perpetuity , and consequently leave the entire rackrent system in fall force and malignancy , with the slight exception of returning to the tenant any of his own money , which he may have expended in improvements . So long as he holds the farm , he is still oppressed by the evil of

      exorbitancy of rent , and if during the term he happens sot to be ejected for the non-payment of that exorbitant rent , and in numerous eases the tenants are so ejected , he will still be met , at the end of his term , by the evil of insecurity of tenure , and turned out to the read . It is clear that this man feres so better than the tenant who makes no improvements . The one makes bo improvements , and is turned oat—the other makes improvements , and is also turned out—where , then , is the difference between them f They both bear the whole" weight of the entire rackrent system . ButbyaTraluation and perpetuity the tenant not only gets rid of the greater and more certain evils of

      exorbitancy of rent and insecurity of = tenure , but he also gains the fullest protection for all his improvements . By a valuation , the tenant is left the means of making improvements-which is full ^ ft ^ ¥ T'pensation after they are made ES ^ m ?

" My object ; in these observations , will be attained , when the tenantry class , whom I address , and whose rights and interests I . honestly defend , shall have their attentiou steadily fixed upon the two leviathan evils of exorbitaacy of rent and insecunty of tenure , and on the very small deduction

      that will be made from these monster evils , by returning to the'tenant the amount of his own money expended in improvements , on being turned out of his farm , and sent adrift and desolate upon the waves . of the wide world . The above have been the only Specious plans proposed for the protection of the tenant . As for " fixity of tenure" and " equity of tenure , " these were phrases having no meaning , and adopted because they had no definite or intelligible meaning , and for a long time used by trading poll , ticiansto humbug the people out of their money ,

      on the pretence of Obtaining for them redress of grievances relating to their land tenure . It were well if the delusion of " , Ulster tenant right , " and "tenant improvements protection , " phrases much used , I am s o r r y to sa y , in the present day , for tho same unworthy purposes of deception , were gone into the same dark oblivion , for I have said mneh more than sufficient to demonstrate to every intelligent and honest mind , the complete delusiveness and total insufficiency of these and of all other plans which the ingenuity of man can devise , short OF A VALTJiTIOS ASD PKBPBIU 1 IT OP HIS FABM 70

      THE TESANT . The remainder of the ^ pamphlet is partly devoted to answering objections , and partly to citations from Stuart Mills' new work on Political Economy , favourable to Mr . Conner ' s views . The plan of " a valuation and perpetuity" is likely to find warm adherents on the part of the Irish tenant fanners .

      General Willises. General Willisen, Comm...

      GENERAL WILLISES . General Willisen , commander-in-chief of the Schleswig-Holstein army , is about sixty years of age . descended from a noble Prussian family , he was early destined for a military career , and in the campaign of 1806 served as cadet in an infantry regiment . After the disasters of Jena and Auerstadt , he returned to the University of Halle , where he spent the next few years in the retirement of study . When the circle of the Saal was added to the kingdom of Westphalia , Willisen became liable io the military conscription , which was established in the new monarchy after the Trench model . His attempt to withdraw from the operation of this measure miscarried . He was carried to Cassel . and

      for a short time imprisoned there . This event took p ' in 1869 , just as Austria was about to turn for the fourth time her arms against France . The occasion was favourable to Willisen ' s flight , however otherwise venturesome this may have been . He proceeded to "Vienna , entered a free corps , with which he fought in Italy and the Tyrol , and a few years later returned to the Prussian service . From 1913 to 1815 we find him attached to the general staff of Reld-Marehal Prince Blucher . He was then in a good school . Led at first by Scbarnhorst , then by Gneisenau , and including such men as Generals Clausewitz and Grolmann , this small corps of officers comprise the rarest military talents . Willisen remained in this position for a certain time after

      the conclusion of peaces and at the end of twenty years experience he was appointed to give instruction in military history in the General Military School of Berlin . The aim of his instructions was to lay down a clear and complete system of warfare , which in respect of method mutt of course be his own work , but as to its principles was nearly related to the system expounded in the writings of the Russian general , JominL Proceeding from the axiom that the object of the art of war is victory , and of victory the attainment of military ends , he regards the army the instrument of attaining those ends , under two aspects—first and chiefly , according to its requirements ; and second , as to its . capabilities . The supply of the first is the subject , then , of

      the first part of . military science— " the doctrine of cond i tions " or strategy : to teach how the latter may be best brought out and applied is the objectof the second part of the system—tactics . Willisen then considers victory as it may be attempted in one of two ways , either by aggravating the enemy ' s difficulties , or by attacking him . It will be seen from the foregoing outline , that WiUiseu ' s instructions were at least systematic and logical . His views , however , met with various receptions ; and to confute certain objections . urged against his principles , he undertook in 1831 , through the medium Of the Mitary Weekly QazeUt , to establish and illustrate them by the course of the then undo * cided Polish war of independence . In his articles

      he incidentally gave advice , to the Polish heroes , and thus disclosed a political bias in no way calculated to win the favour of the court . Willisen , at that time a major , fell into displeasure .. His articles , however , made a great impression in all circles ; they were clear , defined by logic , and animated by political feeling ; but the issue of the war was unfortunate for their author , as it directly contradicted his predictions . Thus Willisen had prophesied that if the Russians below . Modlin should cross the Weischel , they would be lost . But they did so , and took Warsaw , and so shortly ended the war . Damaging as the exposure of this error was for . Willisen , the death of his scientific rival and opponent was a more important event . General von Clausewitz died . November 16 , 1831 , and soon after his widow published , from the copious literary remains of her husband , that work entitled " War , " which has since become so celebrated . Many of

      Willisen ' s views were here controverted , and his theory generally denied . After . long silence Willisen published in 1840 a reply in a formal exposition of his system ; he has had many opponents , but no rival to be compared to Clausewitz . For several years before 1818 Willisen was stationed at Posen , with the office of chief of the general staff of the fifth army corps , and afterwards as commander of a brigade . The plenipotentiary powers in the duchy of Posen in 1848 are part of the history of the commotions of March . In the autumn of the same year he was present with . Badetsky at the . siege of Malghera , and observed . the , progress of the Italian campaign , whose history he has , since written . In the promotions ef the spring and summer Of 1849 Willisen ' s name was omitted , and this circumstance may have induced him to apply for tbe dismission which was granted him in the spring , with the title of lieutenant-general .

      Hatmarket Theatre. A New Extravaganza, E...

      HATMARKET THEATRE . A new extravaganza , entitled the Hippopotamus , has little to recommend it beyond the popularity oi its title . The scene is laid in the Rosherville-gardens , where the hippopotamus is . supposed to have just arrived , and tbe plot—a very ordinary one of conjugal jealousy—is connected with , the , extraordinary animal by the circumstance that the jealous husband has been irritated by his wife's frequent visits to the wonder of the day . A situation in

      which this husband , acted by Mr . Wright , disguises himself as a vendor of fruit and . ginger beer to watch the movements . of his w i f e ,, and pelts the object of his jealousy ( Mr-Paul Bedford ) with the articles of his stall , is somewhat amusing , and the hippopotamus , which is introduced towards the conclusion , is very well made up .. However , the whole piece is much too loosely connected , and the combat between an uncaged lion and the more unwieldy quadruped on which the curtain falls is singularly devoid of meaning . Abusurdity is of CQUTfie intended , but this need not be carried out in too fanatical a spirit .

      Mr . 3 . Palgrave Simpson , who was favourably introduced to the public by the elegant little drama of Poor Cousin Walter , is the author of a slight farce brought out last night , under the title of Without Incumbrances . The plot turns on the dilemma of a simple usher , who taking a situation " without incumbrances , " is induced by some fellow-travellers on a railway to pretend that the . wife of one , and the intended of another , disguised in such attire , are Ms own wife and child . The position ot the usher , who is a timid bashful man , and whose patroness . has a horror of . "incumbrances , " creates-amusement in the hands of Mr . Compton , and there was . considerable applause at the fall of the curtain .

      Irish Democratic Association To All Demo...

      IRISH DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION TO ALL DEMOCRATS . Brother Democrats , —In the . last number but too . of the . Star a letter was inserted from our brothers of Glasgow in which there was an aoousar tion brought against me ,-charging me with withholding from the men of Francis-street a letter intended for their perusal . Now that that charge is true I distinctly and emphatically deny , as the following ** bill of particulars" will shew . The evening of the day on which I received that letter I proceeded with it , in torrents of rain , to the room in which we hold our weekly meeting , and which is considered as the place of general ; rendezvous . There I read it aloud for every member who entered ;

      no one from Prancis-street attended . ; The next night the committee sat 1 laid the letter , with the resolution contained therein , before them , ' and , as I was very busy at the time , I requested-them to give authority to Mr . Doylo ( one of the founders of the association , ) to answer it , —they , did so . Mr . Doyle got permission from them to bring it home , in order that he might make no mistake . The meeting adjourned , —no Prancis-street man attended , although two were on the general committee . The next night I was again at my post , and the Franois-street men did come . They asked for the letter , I tol d them where it was , at the same time I . informed them of its contents , and that if they would wait Mr . Doyle would come with it , when they could see it , Then they showed us their letter , which also contained the resolution j they read it for us , waited about three minutes , certainly , not five , would not wait longer , and then went away , and have never

      come near , us since . They were not long gone when Mr . Doyle brought the letter , although he hid not finished the answer to it . This statement , I think , proves that there was no' . ' kidnapping " in the question , and if there was , not I , but the committee members were the guilty parties ; , if not so , the fault is attributable to the non-attendance of the Prancis-street men . TSow one word about my former letter . Our friends in Glasgow seem to lie under a strange misapprehension , Tor they appear to think it came from me as an individual , —this is not so ; , it received the sanction of the committee before it went to London . They also think that it dealt too severely with the Francis-street men . ; any person , I am sure , judging impartially between their ' s and mine , will consider it but a fair and just retaliation .. I remain , Brothers , , Fraternally and devotedly yours , Tnoiua Uuubn , P . S . —I write this in my individual capacity . —T . C .

      We Have Received From A Correspondent Re...

      We have received from a correspondent resolutions adopted by the members of the above society at a meeting held at Fort Winnebago , on the 3 rd of June last , denouncing the society as a deception to the working classes .. . At an adjourned meeting , held at the same place , on the 8 th of June , the following memorial was unanimously adopted : — " 50 : IHE PEOPLE OV OBT 5 AT MUTAlft - "We , your humble memorialists , being members of a certain society existing in England , and known by the name of the . ' Potters' Emigration Society , ' beg to lay our grievances before you . The above : named society , by their prospectuses , head bills , advertisements , books of rules , lectures , and by

      means of a weekly paper or periodica ) , called the Potters' Examiner ,-lead the working and other classes of Great Britain to believe , that by means of subscriptions paid by persons joining the abovenamed society , they ( the society ) have secured for them ( the members ) parcels of land , of forty acres each in extent , situated upon the Fox River , Columbia county , Wisconsin , United S t a t e s , of America ; that they had prior to September , 1849 , secured as much as 50 , 000 acres in the said county . Tbat the land was composed of good black soil ef great depth and richness ; that it was easily cultivated into profitable farms ; that stores well stocked with every kind of provisions were in the society ' s possession oh the spot ; that food cattle , implements , & c . had

      been purchased , and were upon the land for the use of the settlers , and for cultivating certain lands set apart , and the produce of which was to he for the advancement of the settlers themselves . That employment could at all times be got upon , the lauds , sad cash or produce ( as required by the workman , } obtained , according to the current rates of labour in the State ; that members preferring employment aprrt from the society could always obtain it ' in the immediate neighbourhood ; that all could support their families in a comfortable manner , and ultimately acquire , independence ; and that certain other statements set forth in the book of rules , he , hereunto annexed , were attainable by all persons becoming members .

      " Now we , your memorialists , having thrown up our employment in Great Britain , —broken up our comfortable homes , —separated from , our friends , — borne the expense , dangers , and hardships of a long and weary journey , and arrived at the aforesaid place , our destination , Sod the greater part , if not the whole , of tbe statements to be grossly false , and the promises to have been either improperly carried out , or not performed at all . We find the . land at present in toe possession of the Indians , and cannot be secured by any party until surveyed by the American government , and afterwards brought lutO the market for sale , and therefore that all settlers are considered as trespassers . The greater part of the land is sandy , or wet marsh land , and in the opinion

      of many practical men , unsuitable for farming . The cattle purchased are unsuitable , being mostly aged and weak , instead of young and vigorous .- That portion of the land set apart ; for cultivation in . aid of the members is ill-managed , so that loss instead of profit can but be expected . The stores ( so called , ) seldonj-contain even the common necessaries of life , and the prices charged for whatever may be there are greatly in advance of any other store . The labourer ( when labour eau be got , ) receives lower remuneration than is the custom in the State , and then produce and not cash is the payment ; further , if a man earn , say five dollars a week , he can only obtain three or four dollars worth of stores , thereat being booked as due to him . The provisions , in * stead of being purchased when cheap and stored , ' are bought in small and irregular , quantities ( when greatly needed ) , and generally obtained upon credit

      price . The members upon tbe land have been compelled to exist throughout the past winter upon flour mixed with water , and in such small quantities that some have sunk under it , a nd met w i th a grave in a land far from all their relations ; numbers have been obliged to leave and wander through the country houseless and penniless , and have in some cases died , leaving families without support , ' ' " Employment cannot be got for many miles round , and . cash can seldom be got , stores being the mode of payment . The society instead of being in a prosperous condition , as it would have been had the ^ immehse sums subscribed been properly laid out , we have reason to believe is greatly in debt , both is England and America , and is only kept on foot by means of false . balance-sheets , and generall y tbe management has . beeh , and is such ,, that it will be impossible to avoid bankruptcy and ruin to all connected with it . '

      . * Now we , your memorialists , humbly pray ; that the British public will take the above-named statements into consideration , and cause the affairs of the said society to be thoroughly ' investigated , and a better course of proceedings adopted , in order to prevent our fellow-countrymen from being . duped , as we have been , by being caused to break up their homes and quit their native land to be thrown destitute upon a strange country without the means of extrication . " And your memorialists , as in duty bound , will ever pray . " '

I cannot positivel y a nswer thi s query , but 1 will state a circumstance that occurred to myself about tho year 1788 . Passing in a hackney-coach ' up the Old Bailey to West Smitbfield , I saw the unquenched embers of a fire opposite to Newgate ; on my alighting I asked the coachman " What was that fire in the Old Bailey , over which the , Yfheel of your carriage passed ? " " Ob , sir , " he replied , " they have been burning a woman for murdering her husband . " Whether he spoke tbe truth or not I do not know , but I received it at the time as truth , and remember the impression it made on me . It is , perhaps , as well to state that there were some fifteen to twenty persons standing around the smouldering embers at the time I passed . —A o « et and Queries .

      New Act relating to Parish Meetings . —An act of parliament has just come into force ( 13 & 14 Tict ., o . 57 . ) by which the desecration of churches , in holding parochial meetings , can be prevented .

The Poor Law Commissioners are now empowered , upon the application of churchwardens , & c , of any parish where the population exceeds 2 , 000 , to make an order to enforce this act , and on the expiration of twelve months , , certain meetings connected with

JWe have only to glance at . those colossal establishments now being built and already in full operation , to find an aaswer to such an assertion . ^ We have no wish to prescribe a maximum for the rich , but we do desire a minimum for the labourer— -that he shall not be reduced below the

      means of living , To that class of men denominated undertakers , we say , " Consider these questions ; abandon that aristocratic feeling , and unite with your fellow-men . Your ruin is still pending , by the further application of machinery . " "' ., Some suggest the propriety of petitioning the government to tax machinery . To such we say , it would not mitigate the evil , but rather aggravate it , as all taxes are paid by labour . We venture to suggest to the trades , the necessity of tbe application of land—to the machinery * made-idler—and the principle of applying machi * nery for the benefit—instead as now—against the workman ., Some may say it cannot be done . But to that numerous class of weavers tbat have looms

      of their own , we say it can be dene . We will suppose a case , and it is not improbable that a manufacturer required a hundred hands to work ten hours a day to supply him with goods , and that he . was to procure machinery , that would do as much work with the aid of ten men , as , the hundred did , it would thus throw ninety out of employ to become competitors in the labour market , and form a reserve for the masters to fall back on in reducing wages . But if the workmen were to become copartners in the machinery , it would keep the hundred on , and supply ' as many goods by working one hour in the day . The same principle would apply to a vhousand or a hundred thousand . Then machinery would be a blessing instead of a curse .

      You have knowledge , ingenuity ,, and industryunion and co-operation will furnish the means . If this was done it would change individual competition into brotherly love , and , turn de & pair into a bright future . If you love your h omes—your families—consider this question . By union you would dispel tyranny , by co-operation you would improve your social condition . It is said that the school of adversity is the school of wisdom , and surely we are in that school , and it is time we became united in tbe wisdom of warning those who hold the helm of state , to have a care for the system which is pulling one class of society down after another , and if the iabour . question is not attended to , which is the foundation , of all greatness , the superstructure must fall .

      In calling upon , you to support . the Protective Onion , we have only to instance the great advantages of the Plain Weavers' Association , which baa rendered good service to the trade , by protecting the interests of the honourable manufacturer and the weaver . = We do so in full confidence that we shall not appeal in vain . We cannot think that a body so numerically large as that of the weavers of Coventry , can sink in the scale of . wretchedness and misery , without affecting in a great degree the town at large . We submit the leading objects of the Union for your consideration , which were adopted at a meeting of weavers from various districts on July 26 th , 1850 , at the Old Mitre , Much Park-street : — .

      • 1 . —¦ To remodel the Figure Weavers' Association , so as to embrace the weavers engaged is every department of the fancy and figure trade of Coventry . 2 . —Tbat the name shall be the " Coventry Fancy andrFigare Weavers' Protective Union . " The principles of justice to be maintained both to the manufacturer and the weaver . 3 . —That the customary prices paid by the trade for fancy ribbons , either in the plain or figure looms , shall be tbe guide in all disputes . 4 , —In the weuv of any new nature of work being introduced , the Committee shall , in conjunction with the employer , fix as fair price has possible as is consistent with tbe circumstances , so as to allow , a fair remuneration for the expense and trouble of the weaver .

      5 . —Any weaver . thinking he ought to have more for making any pattern be is engaged on , and does not feel able to defend his own case , shall , by applying to the Committee , have their advice and assistance . 6 . —Under no circumstances are the Committee to countenance a strike , unless such Strike ia by the advice and consent ot the trade , Let truth be our watchword—justice our shieldreason and argument our weapons—and then we shall command respect . .

      Brother Wearers , —We are actuated by . no vain or ambitious motives in thus addressing . you , If we succeed ill arousing the dormant energies of some part of the weavers , we shall have done something towards the dawn of that day when—It is come—the glorious time , When the fetters of slaves shall buret ; And earth shall be fair as Eden prime . And man shall be free as the first .

      Signed on behalf of the Committee , , W . Hosieb , General Secretary . Committee Room , 'Old Mitre . N . B . —Th e , Committee request that every weaver will attend their district meeting , when a deputation from the Committee will attend , of which due notice will be given .

      Smuerb Ik Australia, —The Following Extr...

      SmuERB ik Australia , —The following extract f a private letter from Sydney indicates an opening for the profitable employment of Borne additional ateamers in New South Wales i— " Within the last few days the Phesnix steamer has become a wreck in a southerly gale , about five miles from the Clarence River . She now lies stranded on the beach high and dry , and / quite a wreck . Her engines may be saved , and all her spars and gear . Thus you see we have lost the only steamer that plied on that important line , making an additional opening for a steamer of double the size and power of the Phoonix , which , indeed , was never large enough for the trade . I intend , as soon as I have leisure , to get you all the particulars of the . dividends and profits

      now paid by the Hunters River Company , and what the Phoenix was paying . There is the Port Philip and the Launceston Hue BOW only about a quarter supplied ; indeed , from ten . to twelve good steamers equal to the Shamrock , tbat is , about HO or 150-horse power , and to carry from 200 to 300 torn of cargo , would find ample employment and capital profits o « the various lines now requiring steamers both to the north and south . I wish the public in London could be made acquainted with ; our wants in this respect , for we have no capital here to build new steamers . Our means of intercourse along the lines of coast and up our navigable rivers have become so limited that many parts of this country are

      now left in abeyance .

      Fwikg Kms In Canton.—A Foreign Missionar...

      Fwikg Kms in Canton . —A foreign missionary thus writes of kite flying in Canton : ~ " The sky is a universal flutter of kites . I counted this afternoon from my window ninety-three , which were floated at various heights with great skill . Some represented hawks , and admirably imitated their manosuvres m the air , noislug themselves , ami sailing , and darting ; gaudy butterflies floated' around ; and dragons , formedof a long succession of circular kites , With a fierce head , flew about the sky . The majority were of merely fanciful shapes . Loud noise , like a wind instrument , could be heard from them . The most

      amusing form was that of a large fish , which through the blue above , moved its tail and fins with a ludicrously natural effect . Those , like animals , a re al s o fliwn in pairs , and made to fight . " Tub act of eating strawberries , says an eminent medical writer , cleanses the teeth and gums , and purifies the breath . It assists digestion and fortifies the stomach , and being of itself entirely soluble , never turns sour or undergoes fermentation . In many cases it is positively medical , removing rheumatioaffections and other diseases arising from obstructions of the system .

      A Witness who was examined before a select committee of the House of Lords , respecting the manner in which a petition , purporting to be signed by " 18 , 000 " of the ratepayers of Liverpool , had been got up , confessed that" He had , upon one occasion , gone to a public house , where he had sat down and written about 300 of the signatures which first appeared attached to the petition . "While he was at that public house , three others of the agents and himself had dipped themselves into a water butt , so that the committee , when they arrived at their place of assembly , should believe that they had been walking about all theday in the rain . " ; , IOne of Pate ' s alleged delusions was , that his bowels were full of bricks , and the doctor had not

      the skill to remove them . We have heard that a member of the British . aristocracy , managing his affairs with uncommon astuteness , and yet under the belief that he wag constantly in that condition "in which ladies wish to be who love their lords . " A Curtain Irish attorney threatened to prosecute a Dublin printer for inserting the . death of a living person . The menacer . concluded with the remark , "That no printer should publish a death , unless informed of the fact by the party deceased . " ¦ ¦ . ' "What would I like to have ? " . said Mrs . Winblossom . '' Why , a two-bushel basket full of needles , and ail of them ere needles worn clean up to the eyes in making bags , and all them ere bags cbock full of dimuns . Tou wouldn ' t talk about Callyforny arter ¦

      that . " ¦; . . .. A tale is told of a hypochondriac gentleman of rank and fortune in Ireland , who fancies one of his legs is of , one religion and the other of another .,, He not unfrequently , puts one of his unfortunatelegs outside the bedclothes to . punish it for its religious errors . A , Ya . nkbb Title . —A Yankee , who found it , uphill work to support himself and family on a small gravel knoll , which he hired in old Connecticut , turned his face , a little more than a year ago to the land of gold , exhorting his wife to . be of good courage in bis absence , and leaving-his landlord minus a small amount of rent . After working his passage to San Francisco , be " footed it" np to the mines , and commenced a course of digging , for which his

      previous experience on the aforesaid farm abundantly qualified him . But he soon found that the stream of gold flowed steadily . from the mines to the sea coast , and that he could fill his bucket the easiest , and probably the soonest by tapping the current at San Francisco . He accordingly returned to the latter place , where he looked about for a location . Finding an unoccupied piece of ground , he put down stakes , stretched a rope round it , and pitching his tent in the enclosure , commenced trade . Presently an old settler came along , and accosted him rather roughly , as follows : " Hallo , stranger ! what are you doing on this ground ? " — " Selling licker and small notions . Anything yew want tew buy ?" " Well , you take it mighty coolly ; this is my property , arid you must leave it . " "We'll see about that" replied the Yankee . "I've h ' e'arn that

      , ' possession is nine pints of the law '" " Now , I ' ve got my title in-that way , and unless yew can show a better , yew may . be ' good lookih ' , but yew can ' t come in , ' as the circus folks say . " The propertyowner attempted to argue the case , but the . Yankee stuck to his text , and carried the day , being allowed to remain in " possession" until the rights of real estate-proprietors should be better vindicated by public legislation . Three or four months ago , finding himself ; the owner of a handsome fortune , he began to feel longings lot home and family , and having settled up his business , he sold the rtoatto his location for 7 , 000 dollars . When the new tenant came to take possession , he asked for a deed of the Property . "Never yew mind a deed , " said the r ankee ; " possession is uine p ints of the law , and a good tide enough hereabouts . ' : i

Though neither spirits nor butterflies have a stomach they cannot possibly eat less than a woman going to a bailor to . the altar , or who is cooking for guests , but should the doctor and her . body be the only just cause and impediment why ahe should not eat an Esau ' s mess , she devours it directly .
