Equal Protection?A dialogue be- , tween the duke*, the dapes, and the j douuifula. , 1?< Duk??Gentlemen, the object of < this meeting is to give equal protection to . commerce, industty, and agriculture. The { first thing to be done is to restore the corn j laws. 1 2d JPu&e^-Fiec trade is mini"" ? 1} I country. We have had a revolvUott in } every country in Europe since the corn 1 lawa were repealed. We have had the i potato rot and Irish famine, since the corn , laws wero repealed. We have had short . cotton crops ainoe tho corn laws wore re- , pealed. We have had the railway mania , and the panic since the corn laws were repealed. Therefore it is clear that free ^ trftde !i mini"" '? ?-?*^6 vus c^uuiry. j 3d Duke?-My ncble friend having , proved, that freo trade is ruining the j country, I call upon vou, gentiemen, to > form a foaguc for protecting everybody , and everything against everybody and ev? i erything. First, you must rcstope the , corn laws, to protect the?a-hera?ten- { ant. i 1 $t Tenant Farmer?Huzza! I'll tfeartk ^uu to protect iuc against John Stooks j in next parish.

O ood Advicc.?John II. Prentice, in lis recent valedictory on retiring from 1 he editorial chair, which he had filled for 1 'ortv-two veara, has the following: "No man should be without a w< M-con 1 ducted newspaper. He is far behind the 1 >pirit of the age unless be reads one, is 1 lot upon an equal footing with his follow- ' nan who enjoys such advantage, and is lisregardful of his duty to his familv. in ^ot affording them an opportuity of acquiring a knowledge of what is passing in the world, at the cheapest possible teaching. Show me a family without a newspaper, and I venture to say that there will be manifest in that family a want of amenity of manners and indications of ignoranco most strikingly in contrast with the neighbor who allows himself such a rational indulgence. Young men, especially, should read newspapers. If I were a boy, even of twelvo yeai* I would read a newspnper weekly, though I had to work by torchlight to earn money enough to pay for it. The boy who reads j well will f<-> ""J ?1 w vniuKk mm iinuiyZ43 i UnQj if so, be will bo almost sure to make a man of himself, hating vicious indulgence, which reading U calculated to beget a distaste for." Iff AN AWFUL BAD FIX. Col. Noland, editor of 'he Batesvillc [Ark.) Eagle, tells the following good ?tory of a man being in a very warm and ight place: The late Col. Allen Oakley was stopping for the night at a Dublin Wi?> washer was warm, anA Oakley, when he retired to bed, divested himself of all his clothes but ht3 shirt. About midnight a terrible fuss vras raised in the yard?a catamount had been rustled up, and the dogs were fighting it. After having it around and around for some time they got to tho door, which, flying open, in popped the catamount. You mav miens # JO there was getting out of their way! poor Oakley Raw no chance to make the door, sad sought safety by climbing up tho logs to what should have been the loft; hut alas! it was deficient of every thing but a cross pole. This he straddled, with tho expectation of hearing, ;f not witnessing the fight going on below. But like the gallant hero of Ccrro Gordo, he soon had tne painful evidence that a man can be aiiflMMl 1 11 * " uvuiuu aa well as DC I ore. tie had waked up a wasp's nest, something more than a half bushel in size, and they were putting it to him in style. One hand was necessary to held on with, and the other slapped some. To come down was to incur the danger of a mad eat's teeth, and to hold on was not a bed of roses 1 Yet Oaldev did hold on??nd wasps. Poor fellow! it was not an easy natter for him to ride the next day* The New York Herald has a letter from Rome, under date of 3d ult. which pays: With th? exception of Major Cass, our Charge d'Affaires, thene is not a single diplomatic officer at Rome the whole of that body still remainir.* at Gaeta. I am informed that Russian, English, German, and other foreigners have implored Maj. Cass to ?Ake them under his protection.

During the action of this morning, the stats and stripes, or rather a very bad imitation of them, were waving from paluoes Piusiana, Falconeiri, and one or two others. This is certainly a strange spectacle.
