ALARMING DESTITUTION.

In the parish of Llanelly, Breconshire, the males exceed the females by

more than one thousand. At Worcester, says the _Examiner_, the same

majority is in favour of the ladies. We should propose a conference and a

general swap of the sexes next market-day, as we understand there is not a

window in Worcester without a notice of "Lodgings to let for single men,"

whilst at Llanelly the gentlemen declare sweethearts can't be had for "love

nor money."
