Sir C. B. Adderly opened the longthreatened debate in the House of Commons on the Washington Treaty upon a motion for papers. His motion was ultimately withdrawn. Sir Roundel Palmer's vindication of England was very effective. A farmer, who wished to invest the accumulation of industry in United States securities, went to a broker's to obtain treasury notes. The clerk inquired ' What denomination will you have them sir ?' Having never heard that word use excepting to distinguish religious sects, the farmer, after a little deliberation, replied, ' Well, you may give me part in Old School Presbyterian, to please the old lady, but give me the heft on't in free Will Baptist.'
