Many persons will learn with regret that Mr E. A. Hart, of " Happy Hours" fame, died in Sydney a few days ago. Captain Edwin telegraphs to-day — Warnings for gales mid heavy rain with* in from 10 to 16 hours hare been sent to all places. The entire Scriptures contain 2.775.2b'9 ems in diamond and | 2,807,840 ems in nonpareil. It would take a printer a year and a half to put the Scriptures in typo at the rate of 50u0 eras per day. The quantity | of metal required in nonpareil would be about 65001 b, in bourgeois 13,0001 b, and in pica, 26,(XX)Ib. No man oppress thee, Oh, free and independent franchiser; but does not this stupid pewfer pot oppress thee ? No son of Adam ran bid tliee come or go, liut this abvurd pot of heavy- wet can and does. Thon art the thrall, not of Odric the Saxon, but cf thy own brutal appetites, aud this accursed dish of liquor and thou pnitest of thy liberty, thou entire blockhead. — Carlyle.
