Men or mast Wivbs. — There exists in Bengal, a particular class pf Brahmins, known by the name of Kulios, who are notorious for the number of their marriages. One member of this caste has been known to have formed 300 matrimonial alliances, and to have had wives scattered over a vast extent of country. — Indian Examiner.
Remarkable Fact. — It appears that many of the French journals are conducted by Englishmen and Scotchmen, who write articles in a foreign tongue, and act just as well as native editors. One of the principal Havre newspapers is conducted by a Scotchman. The most important Weekly newspaper of Paris is edited by an Englishman, and one of his priucipal contributors is an Englishman. To one or two of the daily newspapers, literary contributions from our countrymen are not rare ; and in the management of more than one of the light amusing periodicals of the day, they take an active part. These facts are a striking proof of onr national superiority. And is it not really c remarkable thing, that Britons should manage French newspapers, should write in the French language on French affairs, for the information of Frenchmen ? Is it not, too, a marvellous sign of the times, that instead of thinking it a national duty to cut French throats, and hate Frenchmen, we dabble in their periodical literature ? What would our solemn old grandpapas say, if they were to see such things ? Professor Wilson has published a letter disclaiming all present connexion with Blactwood.
