prosperity of the country will be

"My Lords and Gentlemen,
"I most deeply sympathise with
the distresses of the manufacturing
districts, and I contemplate with
feeling of the sincerest satisfac

sullenno-s have been borne.
"The depression under which
the trade and manufactures of the

but I retain a firm expectation that
the abatement will be progressive,

An ingenious mechanic of the
name of Jones, a native of Hart
fordshire, (Eng.) lately exhibited
in Essex, a chained Jlea; the chain
was fixed to a kennel, formed of a
cherry stone. The chain consists
of 32 circular links, visible to the
naked eye, and the collar may be
easily discerned through a inarmi-
v uvj yiuaiur power man a
common reading glass; the whole
is so light, that the flea runs and
gambols as though it was of but
little incumbrance. The same
person exhibits four gross of tea
spoons, so small as to be packed
up in a cherry stone; lie sometime
since made a common fine work
ing needle to unscrew, and in
which was secreted a pair of scis-
sors. With all this ingenuity, the
exhibitor does not appear in afflu
ent circumstances, but quite the
contrary.
A newly imported Frenchman

ordered to kiss the book said, "Mc
