declined his offer, considering that the removal should be effeced with
as little violence as possible. A letter hart been received from Signor
Mazzini relative to the government of Rome during the Pope's pro-
longed absence, and remains under consideration.
The alarming state of the King or Naples had engaged the anxiuus
attention of the Committee. Evidence had been heard, and opinions
consulted. The Committee had felt some hesitation in coming to a
fixed determination, but they were fain to consider the case of his
Majesty as altogether hopeless. His malady had assumed a very
dangerous phasis. A morbid delight in the sufferings and p>otiacted
pains of wise, amiable, and aged gentlemen, bound in Lons, lodged
in vaults, and nurtured upon mouldy bread, was among the worst
symptoms of tne patient. With more hope than expectation of a
beneficial result, the Committee would propose that Doctors Cojnolly
and Willis be sent to Naples with full accredited powers to bleed,
blister and physic to the best of their ability. The Committee, how-
ever, could not suppress the opinion, that retirement would be found
most beneficial to the patient and his well-wishers.
The report stated that the King of Portugal, whose visits to
England had had the best tffect upon his constitution, continued to
improve. His advance in the elements of arithmetic was most satis-
factory. He had already arrived at a knowledge of the amount of
Portuguese money owed to English bonuholders; and lively hopes
might be entertained that, some day, using his influence and authority,
his Majesty would pay it.
The Emperor of Austria still remained very poorly; with an
increasing weakness ot the hams, that made him liable to drop down
upon his knees whenever he came within sight of a led hat, or red
stockings. He had been recommended a course of mud-baths, as a
strong detersive of Roman cement.

The ladies all flocked to his church so readily;
And he turned up his eyes with so saintly an air,
That this clergyman greatly was liked by the fair.
His features were fine, and his views Sabbatarian,

A SEARCHING NARRATIVE.
We see there is a publication calh d A Gentleman in Search of a
Tailor. We think a much more interesting narrative would be, A
Tailor in Search of a Gentleman. The incidents would furnish
materials for three good Vols, of the most exciting description, more
especially if they were founded upon the well-known fiction, that every
gentleman owes, and is excused in owing, money to his tailor. The
concluding chapter vvould be the settlement of the tailor's account, for
according to the time-honoured jokes upon the subject, a tailor is
always abi>ut the last person a gentleman ever ihiuks of paying. But,
of course, the pith of the fun would be in the tailor first finding his
gentleman.

manifest itself, it would be advisable to bind him apprentice to some
honest trade; though it is much to be feared that the near proximity
of so many brigands has not tended to strengthen his Majesty's moral
convictions. The Queen would make an excellent vivandiere. The
report was agreed to, and after many admirable speeches were delivered
—speeches, by the way, more easily conceived than txpiessed—the

French and English Management.
Of all things that are decidedly managed better in France, we must
not forget to mention the Theatres. The French manage their theatres
in such way as to get original pieces; but it would seem that the
English Managers either cannot, or will not.

America and Her Honour.
Mr. Buchanan, according to the New York Daily Times, has just
made a speech in Philadelphia, in the course of which occurred the
following remark:—
" But there is an interest superior to all these considerations, and that is our Natioua
Honour."
A very proper observation for a Ciiizen of the United States to make
