The following is the way a Missouri editor deals with a " pressure of matter :" We are compelled to make this week's issue almost exclusively a local and advertise ment paper; but lookout for next week's. It will be one of the gayest, fiercest, hottest papers that ever went forth from an Ameri can news raggery." A New York editor thinks from the manner in which shirts are made in that city there ought to be an inspection of sewing. He says lie went to the expense of a new shirt the other day, and found himself, when he awoke in the morning, crawling out from between two of the shortest stitches. Oh, kittens, in ourhours of ease—uncer tain toys, and full of fleas; when pain and anguish hang o'er men, we tnrn you into N sausag e then. 'erA gentleman having a remarkably long "Visage, lately passing a turnpike gate overheard one lad say to another. "That gentleman's face is longer than his life." Struck with the singularity of the rude observation he turned and requested an explanation " Sir," said.the boy, "I read at school that man's life is but a span »nd lam sure your !face is double that leHgth." A curious advertisement appears in the current number of the National Society's Monthly Paper. A clergyman in Surrey wants a school-master and mistress, and that " they must stand in such a relation to each other as to be able to live in the 9&me house." We learn from a Continental paper that the captain of the German ship Nymph bad on the 25th of March last an audience of the King of the Fiji Islands. To the communication that the German Emperor intends eventually to establish a consulate atFiji, the King replied, " I know that Germany has, through her union become a great ytate, and I have during the late war followed the feats of the great nation with the greatest interest. It i 3 my inten tion also to form. a strong empire through union of the different races, and through carefulness of the interests of the foreign colonists. It will be the greatest honour for me if his Majesty the Emperor will grant me his help and recognition by the nomination of a consul.1' The next German ship-of-war which is to visit Fiji is tocarry to King Thakombau a present of some cannons and breech-loading guns. A statue to the memory ofNicholas Wood. the celebrated mining engineer and coal master, has been unveiled in Newcastle, in the presence of a large assemblage of the members of the North of England Institute of Engineers, the Institute of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland, and the South Lancashire and Cheshire Coal Association, who last week commen ced a series of joint meetings for business and pleasure, to be held at tho various seats of industry on the Tyne. Mr. Gladstone has, it is said, arranged to pay his visit to Ireland early in October He will be accompanied by Mr. John Bright and Lord Spencer, and will address meetings in Dublin, Belfast, Londonderry, and probably in Cork. Mr. Bright, if he feels equal to the task, will speak at one or two of these places. The Government policy upon education in Ireland is likely to be either the subject or the object of these addresses.

A press association telegram from Aid ershot says: —" Ernest Boulton, of Boulton and Park notoriety, was to have given an entertainment at Aldershot on Monday evening, but was prevented by a number of officers and others who determined they would not hear him, A regular row ensued, in the midst of which the gas was turned out. and the principal performer was glad to make his escape as best he could."

The road to a man's heart, in a woman's estimation, we gather from the following anecdote : " Fanny Downing, the well known North Carolina authoress, knows many lady litleraleurs, most of whom understand perfectly well how to make home pleasant, and show no disposition to Bhirk from duty," as it is generally sup posed literary ladies do. In a letter to Mr T. C. DeLeon, written some time back, she speaks of being herself a good cook, and says: " While I may be able to reach the hearts of my readers by way of their eyes and ears, I never fail of going to the heart of my husband down his throat.

In all proposals for life insurance, these, among a host of others questions, occur: "Age of father, if living?" Age of mother, if living ?" A man in the country who filled up an application made his fathers'age "if living" 120years,and his mother's 102. The agent was amazed at this showing, and fancied he had got an excellent subject; but.feeling somewhat dubious, remarked that the man came of a very long-living family, "Oh you see, sir," replied the applicant, " my parents died many years ago, but, ' if living ,' would be aged as there put down." " Ob, I see, said the agent,"

According to reliable intelligence from Broussa Turkey two agents of the British and Foreign Bible' Society have been ordered by the Caimakan toleave Quembek, the seaport of Broussa. Their books have been seized, and the sale of all Portestant ■works prohibited. Complaints having been made to the Governor of Broussa, the latter approved the action of the Caimakan, from whom he had received a report accus ing the Bible Society's agents of insulting the Greek religion. The agents ask to be but on their trial, but this has been refused. It is alleged that this interference with Portestant writings was made at the instigation of the Eussian Consul. The matter has been referred to the British Embassy at Constantinople.

It is stated that the Emperor of Russia con ' templates uniting the Caspian with the Black -^•Enxine pea by means of a canal, which oi-*".;lcl be about 400 miles long, and take six years to complete. This project is worthy of one of the greatest powers on our globe. More than one object is subserved by it. It secures eutrance to the heart of Russia to the com merce of the world without necessitating a tran shipment of goods, the Caspian and the Volga being navigable altogether more than 2,000 miles. It,-will enable Russia to concentrate reatermilitarystreng'bupontbesouthernshores of thi? Caspian and within 500 miles of the Persian Gulf. And another object is said to be the replenishing of the waters of the in land B<>u, which is showing a, subsidence year by year, threatening in (he course of time the destruction of the fishing business, which now gives support and employment to hundreds of thousands of the Russian people. The Caspian is 88 feet lower than the Black Sea by latest measurements,

{ The London Times understands that the j legal proceedings which ai"ose out of the j alleged forgeries by William Roupell have ;at length resulted in a compromise. The j estate in Lambeth, which consists of Eoup ell strpet and neighboring property, is given up to the mortgagees, it having been left to William Jtoupell, according to his testi mony, by the will which he destroyed. The property at Brixton Hill, called Roupell Park, upon which William B,ou pelllavished large sums of borrowed money, has been made the subject of a settlement jin favor of Mr William Eoupell and the j mortgagees of William Eoupell, the estate having been bequeathed, according to the same testimony, to the former gentleman by his father, the late Eichard Palmer Eoupell. The value of the two estates, including the fund in Chancery derived from the Brixton property, is said to be £240,000— sufficent to cover the principal mortgages, and to satisfy to a considerable extent the claims of Mr, Eichard Eoupell. The fact of William Eoupell being the executor and trustee of the will which he destroyed, taken in connection with the anomalous state of the lawrelating tofelons, rendered itadvisable to obtainhis signature to the deeds, whereby an amicable arrange ment has been effected, and the Times understands that he willingly signed the documents, and evinced a desire to do all in his power to make reparation for the past. A petition in favor of the release of William Eoupell has been got up in Lambeth and has been signed by Mr, Spurgeon, and most of the leading inhabitants of that | neighbourhood. An incident well worthy of consideration by Dr. Darwin occurred in the Serpentine, ! in July List. A man named Joseph Small, living at Chelsea, went to bathe in the lake, accompanied by a monkey, which he is in : the habit of taking about with him where ever lie goes. Having undressed himself, he placed the monkey on his shoulder | secured by a chain, the animal looking in mute astonishment at the thousands of noisy fellow-creatures who had been drawn to the lake by the sultry weather for a cooling bath. His master having waded in breast high, the monkey's tail came in contact with the water, when he evinced a cat-like repugnance to that element. The terrorstricken animal rushed frantically round his master's head, endeavouring to escape to the shore By these means the chain became tight twisted round the man's neck, producing semi strangul.ution. In their fight to get free from each other the man and the monkey both went to the bottom. On coming again to the surface the monkey screamed] out. which attracted the atten tion of John. Green, one of the Eoyal Humane Society's boatmen , who at once hastened to the rescue . On reaching the spot the poor animal held up its pavvt to Green to be taken into the boat , which was at once done and its master followed at the other end of the chain. The monkey soon recovered consciousness, and expres sed his thanks to the boatman by chattering and showing his teeth . The man remained in a slate of stupor, and was taken home by two frends to his wife, who, it is said, used the " ready method " to restore his suspended animation. Had Mr. Darwin been in the boat he might conclusively have decided, by tliis singular case, which was the man and which was monkey, thus adding a valuable page to his celebrated work.

"'Twixt Axe and Crown" was repeated on Saturday evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre before a full house. The perform ance of Lady Elizabeth, by Miss Ilo3e Evans, is, in our opinion, one of the most finished and faultless which our stage has ever seen. Such acting as hers —so intelligent, so na tural, and so highly artistic—should be seen by those who talk about the lost art. Once seen it cannot be forgotten. It will be produced again this evening for the last time.

"T. T. G-. B." sends us the following:— " A dealer buys two dozen eggs at three for a penny, and two dozen at two for a penny ; he sells them out at five for twopence. What js the result of the transaction 1" The residents of Cook-street are beginning to complain, and not without reason, about a number of lads, varying from fifteen to twenty years of age, Avho are in the habit of meeting on a green space every Sunday after noon, and who are becoming a nuisance to peaceful citizens in consequence of unseemly habits, such as throwing mud and missiles, and using ungenteel language. Where are the police ? asks our correspondent. A simple mode of avoiding the spread of small-pox has been discovered in Alabama. They let the patient die safely by himself, hire a negro to bury him, and shoot the negro as soon as the interment is finished.

We learn to-day that there is another va cancy in the Provincial Council, Mr Every McLean having resigned his seat for Franklin.

Mosgiel Tweeds, of Otago manufacture, are now in demand in the London market. They area decided novelty, and excellent quality ; and yet at a distance of 1,000 miles from the place twhere they are produced, and from the people whose interest and profit it is to prefer the home production to the imported article, their excellence is discerned and appreciated before we bestow even a passing notice on the child of our own industry. Truly a Prophet hath no honor in his own country ; but it is not " colonial" to " meu.wnl" a profit. The time has come when the nether extremities of every New Zealand man and boy should be clothed in stuff of the home production. Samuel Coombes has just received a parcel of the above Tweeds from the manufactory, and not only hopes that they will be extensively sought for, but expects every public spirited man to "goin " for at least one pair of Mosgiel Tweed Trousers.
