... NEW MATERIALS FOR MORNING AND EVENING DRESSES.— Before the entire establishment of winter stuffs (all the rich choice of velvets, double silks, and the most expensive satins), there is for this month a beautiful collection of novelties adapted to the demi saison. First, the stamped red silks.-2d. The Ti- grane, a mixture of silk and cashmere, the surface like satin, the patterns usually ...

... The public are probably not fully aware of the benefits which have been derived from the establishment of the New Court of Bankruptcy, or what a frightful amount of fraud and perjury might have been prevented, and how many tens of thousands of pounds might have been obtained by creditors from dishonest in- solvents and unfaithful or negligent assignees, had the present system been brought into ...

... LAMENTABLE PROCEEDINGS AT OLDIIAM—ONE Kj LLFD.-On Tuesday last a riot occurred in Oldham, in Lancashire, in consequence of the apprehension of two men belonging to the Trades' Union of that place. It appears that on Monday night two police officers, without any au- thority from the magistrates, broke in upon a meeting of the unionists at a public-hoi.se, in Oldham, and took two of them into ...

... MR. EDRROR,—In perusing the columns of the last Merlin, an erroneous statement respecting the principal object of a clerical meeting held at Llanover on the 13th instant, caught my atten- tion. As a member of the Society, present on the occasion, I beg to apprise your informer and the public in general, through the same medium he has used, that he has been misinformed re- specting the object ...

... FROM the climes of the east, o'er the calm ocean waves The vessel is gallantly sweeping; When far-far below in their red coral graves, The hearts of the shipwreck'd are sleeping. From the climes of the east to their own lovely Isle, The mariners gladly are steering And bright are their prospects, and sweet is their toil, For no storm on their path is appearing. They think of the homes where ...

... OH sing that song of other years- Oh sink that song for me Like sunbeams seen through dewy tears, It bursts on memory. What thrilling thoughts come with that song Of brighter, happier hours, When life was in its joyous spring Of sunshine and of flow'rs. Then sing again that song for me Dear visions still come with its strain, Of those I loved-of infancy- Of joy that ne'er can come again. PERDU. ...

... This month, though not wholly exempt from November's ac- customed frowns, has been exceedingly propitious, both to tillage and live farm stock as, instead of those accustomed exuberances of wind and rain having, as in many past years within our recol- lection, seriously impeded the progress of the former, and either rendered, in most situations, the pastures of the latter untenable to, or ...

... WHAT'S IN A NAME?— His Majesty, says the Gazette, has been most graciously pleased to command, that the Hon. Band of Gentlemen Pensioners shall be in future called his Ma- jesty's Hon. Corps of Gentlemen at Arms. The Black Document has, it appears, done its work with the Court; and the very name of Pensioner is no longer to be uttered in its pre- cincts. The Lord Chancellor, in addition ...

... George's answer to Hei-b, would not do his mathematical character much credit. 'A Patient's letter is quite out of our province; besides, his 1complaint is, we think, unreasonable. Goldsmith has said— When a physician, by inspiration, is sent for, he never per- plexes the patient by previous examination he knows every dis- order by intuition. A Patient would have his medical ad- viser so ...

... To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. Sir,-In offering the few following remarks, I deem it un- necessary to apologise for obtruding on your attention, as I be- lieve the columns of the Merlin are easily accessible to any cor- respondent who is desirous, however humble, to advance public good. It was with extreme regret that I perused the Monmouth Dispensary Report in your paper of the ...

... EXCISE REVENUE.—We are happy to observe, that the reports of the commission appointed last year to inquire into the revenue of excise have been presented to the House of Commons. The reports actually presented are but seven in number, though they include the eighth, the seventh not being yet quite completed. The important subject on which they treat, and the numerous changes which they re- ...
