Temple Bar is to be forthwith removed to vacant laud in Farringdon Road, where it is to remain until its ultimate destination sball havo been decided upon. A dealer in old bones in Paisley has played a smart trick on the proprietor of a chemical manufactory by having weighed as part of his merchandise a bag containing a young lad, who, when the coast was clear, released himself and made off. A poor, thoughtless old gentleman sat down the other day on the spur of ice moment Ilia screams were frightful. Ho ran somewhat hastily into a cigar store and said pompously, “ Give me one of your best Matilda cigars.” “1 guess you mean a Manilla,” said the assistant. “ Oh, yes,” he said, “ I was thinking of another girl.” “You always lose your temper in my company,” said an individual of doubtful reputation to a gentleman. “ True, sir ; and I shouldn’t wonder if I lost everything I have about me.” Two Irishmen were travelling to Portland, a few months since, When they stopped to examine a guide-board- “Twelve miles to Portland,” exclaimed one. “ Sale miles apace, jist,”. said the other. And they trudged on, apparently much gratified at their sudden proximity to the forest city. The French papers, as is their wont after the death of a celebrated Frenchman, have been telling many anecdotes about Thiers. -Among thorn is one about his fondness for codfish. He liked the fish best when served up in the homely way called br.andade. But there came a time in his old age whim ’the phyrioiaus forbade his eating the fish in any style, and Mme. Thiers sternly refused to disobey the order. Soon after the ladies of the family noticed that M. Mignet, the historian and intimate friend of Thiers, frequently visited him, and that ho always carried a thick parcel. Mme. Thieirs was suspicious, and thought that the parcel contained historical documents. But one day she made a discovery, and M. Mignet no longer entered the house with a parcel. Going suddenly into her husband’s room soon after lii. Alignet’s arrival, she there found him and his friend feasting on brandade contained in the pat cel. Both of the great men looked for a moment, after they caught sight of Mme. Thiers, like children detected in disobeying a schoolmaster. The death is announced of Mr William Wall work, who was engaged maturing an invention which he styled “ a new motive power, to supersede steam,” and which it is said, ho completed about six days before his death took place. It is stated positively that the machine has been Worked by Mr Barr, and fully justifies what Mr Wallwork had stated to him it would do. Its power, he declared, was unlimited—of course increasing the strength of the material —and at a trial it blew off air at a pressure of 40lbs, as tested by a patent steam gauge. Mr Mason (says the Pendlebury Times) is patenting the invention—which is extremely simple in construction, and is a wonder to those who have witnes'ed St how it has been kept so many years in abeyance—at a considerable cost in all countries. It will be put to a largo engine and tried practically m the place of steam. Having no fire, of course it emits no smoke, works without noise, and the first machine, it is said, will do the work Of a SO horse-power engine, yet it takes up so little room that a light cart and one horse carried it all the way, including the patterns. If all this turn out to be correct We may look for a revolution in the engineering and manufacturing world ; 1 as to the result. Throat Affections and Hoarseness. - All suffering from irritation of the throat and hoarseness will he agreeably surprised at the almost immediate relief afforded by the use of “Brown’s Bronchial Troches.” these famous “lozenges” are now sold by most respectable chemists in this country at Is IJd per box. People troubled with a “ hacking cough,” a “slight cold,” or bronchial affections, cannot try them too soon as similar troubles, if allowed to progress result in serious Pulmonary and Asthmatic affections. See that the words ‘' Brown’s Bronchial troches ” are on the Government Stamp around each box. —Manufactured by John I. Brown & Sons, Boston, United 1 States, Depot, 493, Oxford-street) London
