A Delicate Machine. — Ihe King of Prussia recently visited, a r needle manufactory in his kingdom, and was shown- a number of superflue needles, thousands of which together did not weigh lialf : an. ouuee, and marvelled how such minute articles could be pierced with ah eye. The eye-borer asked for a hair from the King's head. He placed it under ihe. boring-ma-chine, made a hole in it r furnished it with a thread, and then handed the needle to the King. Tom. Hood said he wrote to his butcher that it was necessary for the sake of cheap literature and the interests of the reading public, that "he should furnish, him with meat at a very trifling percentage above cost, price ; and'. that. Mr. ,Slokes replied : "Sir respectin' your note, Cheap literature bebiowed I^Butchers live as well as other peppel ; and if so be you or the redin' publik wants to have meat at cost price, you must buy your' own; beastesses and kill yourselves."

' : Consequently, it was found when ihe Duke's horses were sent down to.Ppr^ Elizabeth, for "shipmenX' that "all the 1 Captains of vessels in . the harbor, decided, .as a little n au tical quid, pro'.quq, \fc "Kay '%^^.flo'thipg J to do with conveying, the anjinals. to, M^ujiitius.^However, itseems that theidifficulty was ultimately igdt -over, 1 aifd by the latest "Mauritius paper, that 'of' May K i<d, that the.
