The following is credited to an American j visiting in England:—" Wal, stranger, you English juries ain't smart nohow, [f an American jury had had the Tichbome case, I'll tell you what they'd dune. They'd just have bought up the Tieliborne bonds, and then found a verdict for the claimant." A reporter upon an American paper, says of a certain fair creature, "the profusion and colour of her hair woidd lead one to look upon it as though it was spun by the nimble ringers of the easy hours as they glided through the bright June days, whose sunny rays of light had been caught in the meshes and were content to go no further."—The | girl had red hair ; that was all. A Chicago contemporary thus describes the manner in which that city is being rebuilt : " Let me see," said a Chicago bossmason reflectivey, to a burned-out merchant, " ! have got to put up a block for Brown this morning, and a dwelling-house this afternoon for Smith. Yes, I guess we can jerk |up your store this noon by takin' only half ; an hour's noonin." It is stated that Mr George Augustus Sala j is under contract with one of the most prominent of the London journals to visit the Australian colonies and Xinv Zealand, and to furnish periodically a series of papers on "Cur Antipodes." During his visit he in- ! tends to deliver a series of lectures in his most popular style. At present the idea is that he should leave England at the commencement of next winter (November perhaps), and extend his travels for the space of one year.
