The family of the poet also survives. in Mr. Hope: ‘Beott,. leader of the “Patliamentary bar” of England, who is reputed to have the most Jucrative. practice of any English, counsel, making over $100,000. year by his speeches before committees of the Lerds and Commons. A MAN and wile recently presented themselves before the revenue officers at the drontier, in “Veriiiont, the wan producing a .gmall sized tin box and . the woman a small: work basket, each containing parts of old watches, watch findings*and a large variety of stone settings, upon which they offered to pay the duties.

Cheeseman and Swain. There has been no recent deficiency on. this account, and if Demo. . cratic journals East think they” can make anything out ofa Joss that oc curred during a Democratic adiiniss tration, they may find themselves mistaken.” The Zzaminer, in commenting upon this, admits that, “under a Democratic administration a portion of this fund } did go up the,chimney.of the Mint, and the Superintendent who suffered. sach called to account for his negligence, or whatever else you may call it; and was dismissed ftom his position.” The Examiner: clains, however, that’ ‘tlie amount reported as missing now is mach Jarger than the amount taken under Democratic rule. We do not know the amount, but if the charges of the Hzaminer be true,a thorough investigation should be immediately made, and the amount ae well as. the parties responsible for delinquencies madé known, No coubt the officers in charge of the Mint will, in, justice jo themselyes, demand an examination, that no suspicion may rest. upon them. We hope to-hear more of this es de— soon. .
