• , is ig to ig :e in lo sh a-. at it d- :n -i- ni►e • t' IfOn..dett . tlernin would rsus . e pleCedent where` evidence had not •been printed, because it could not accompaniedby the speech of Chunsel ; or that he would jive something like it reason (which he was SO-capable of doing), vihy the House ought in this particular case to depart from what had been its uniform practice. He should propose that the evidence be printed, and placed -in the hands of Members, so tha t t h ey m i g h t b e a bl e to consider and weigh the case in their minds before they eameto a decision. It would then be for him to state toe House what his views were, and although they might be different from those of many Hon. Members, be 'was SIMI, convinced that they were fully supported by the • evitience which had been adduced. • Mr:Secretary PEEL sai.i, that the observations of . :Ite Hon. and Learned Gentleman appeared to him ri 1 ;.o entirely beside the question. There was no charge ; :tivinst Mr. Kenrick but-that containeJ in the Pe t ition. Thefenquiry in which the Committee were now engaged, ";;;;Is directed. to the nhject of ascettaining what steps sought to be taken with regard to those charges. And he, for one, was ready at the present moment to come to a resolution for declaring, that having heerd the evi dente of Camfor in support of his Petition, the House saw noground for any further proceedings, if the llon. and Learned Gentleman had no other evidence to produce. . Mr. ABERCROMBY said, without expressing any opinion upon the merits of the cae, he thought they would not be consulting that which was the power and essence 'of the House, if they did not, pursuant to the usual form, proceed to the :printing of the evidence before they came to, any decision. Mr. Secretary CANNING said, that his impression, at first was, that th! Flon. and Learned Gentleman pro posed that Mr. Gordon should leave the Chair, without any pledge being given that some ulterior step should be taken in the matter. He thought it right that some statement of opinion should be made by t! , e Com mittee upon which the House should afterwards act ; and with that feeling he stated his intention to propose some ResoltitiOn, if t'm Honourable and Leatned Gentleman did' not. But if the Chairman was only to report progress, to give time for the printing of the evidence, and the lion. and Learned Gentleman or , old then propoe something for the consideration of the Committee, he did not wish to interfere and take it out of his bands. . But he could not consent to cut the matter short by going out of the Committee, and leaving it to be revived or not, as chance might direct. Ile hoped that the evidence would be printed in the shortest possible time, .and that the House might meet to torrow, even if they did so at au earlier hour than usual, to come to a decision. The case lay in a very narrow compass, and he saw no good to he 'obtained by delay. Mr. DENMAN objected to so early a time as to morriiiw. He thought the great advantage of printing the evidence was, that it gave time to Members to con sider and examine the bearing; of the question. Besides, the attendance to-m' now would be small, and it might even be doubtful whether a House would be made. lie should propose that the evidence he printed, and that the Committee should sit again on Monday. The SPEAKER declared it to be his strong opinion upon th. point of form, that the Committee ought to come to some resoluti n upon which the House should act when the proceed.ngs of the Committee were re por.ed. With regard to the time, but not wishing t' „ point out any particular course, he could inform the I louse that the printing of the evidence should be no cause of delay. As far as that went, the case migbt either be gone into to-morrow or Monday, as the Committee should see fit. Mr SecretaryPEEL was sti 1 of opinion,that the Co mmittee should cone to a resolution immediately, that there were no grounds for putting Mr. Kentick on his trial. • But if to morrow should be deemed preferable, he should not object to the delay. • • Mr. WESTERN was of the same opinion with the Right Ho nourable Gentleman. Mr. J. WILLIAMS thought it was impossible to accede to the resolution of the Right Hon. Gentleman. The Committee, it ap peared to him, should report progrers, and ask leave to sit agaht. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that if the case was closed, he W. 15 ready to come to the resolution he had stated. Mr. WILLIAMS contended, that Mr. Kenrick had already been put on his trial,.as evidence had been given to inculpate him, and be had been heard in his defence by his Learned Counsel. Mr. DENISON said, that the House had beard the arguments pro and con. and be was prepa'ed to vote -with the Right Hon. Secretary. Mr. Kenr ck and he were opposed to each other in politics, but that would have no effect on him. He thought Mr. Kenrick had stew a sound discretion, in not rashly issuing a warrant against a respectable individual. Sir J. WROTTESLEY thought the Committee had a right to form their judgment on the evidence they had heard. From the evidence of Camfor, it was diffi cult to -say to wl.om the. ram belonged. Under the same circumstances, he himself would have acted neatly as Mr. Kenrick had done; but be would not come to the same conclusion with the Right Hon. Gentleman, that no censure was to be passed cn Mr( Kenrick. At the same time, he could not agree to pa.: a severe censure ; but he must blame the conduct of Mr. Ken sick in sending for a constable to search Candor ; nor could he ate why he had been ordered to give up the fleece. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, he had never proposed, by the Resolution, acquiescence in the conduct of Mi. Kenrick. A corrupt motive on the part of Mr. Kenrick had been distinctly disproSed. He did not say that Mr. Kenrick had acted properly, but as no corruption had been shewa, it appeared to him that the House should proceed no further. Mr. MALSERLY would not consent that the people of Surrey should be told that the House approved of the conduct of Mr. Xerirkk. Mr. W. WYNN said, 'that ample tedress had been already afforded by constitutional means. Any Gen tleman who thought a case had been made out might make a motion upon the subject. The Resolution in volved no approbation of the conduct of Mr. Kenrick. Mr. BARING saw no reason for any hasty decision in this case;, he did not see any reason to address the Crown for the removal of Mr. Kenrick; at the same time, he saw no ground fur a deviation from the usual forms of the House. Mr. Secretary CANNING was of opinion that a de cision was required in that Committee. lie did not mean to say that it should necessarily he come to now, if the Committee were to sit again. Upon the next sit ting the Hon. and Learned Gentleman might propose any course which his view of the case might dictate,' sold ;lien his Right It - m. Friend could move his Reso lution as an amendment. What he at first objet ed to was, that the Committee, having heard the evidence, timuld adjourn for two or flit ee days, without coming to an understanding as to whether any other proceedings should be taken or not. Theltight Hun. Gentleman then moved that the Chairman do report progress, and obtain leave to sit on Monday. Mr. DENMAN was quite satisfied with the motion of the Right lion. Gentleman. If the Committee had taken the precipitate course recommended by the Right )lion. Secretary for the Home Department, he thoug,ht the country would not have been very well satisfied with suclr a decision upon a questiol so important' id the pure admini-sration t f justice. his opinion might , ti be changed by an examination of the evidence, but at present be felt every statement in the Petition had been 'idly substantiate'', and that the Home would not do its duty if it did not go to the espression of some very strong censure upon the conduct of Mr. Kenrick. ' Mr. Secretary CANNING said, that he had hi therto abstained from declaring any opinion upon the case ; but after the speech of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman, he desired to say that he was perfectly pre pared to agree to the resolution of his Right Hon. Friend. Mr. Secretary PEEL said he thought, if the C tm mittee had done its duty by remaining in the House, there would have been no occasion for any delay.= But as Honourable Members bad left their places, no decision could be come to. It was for this reason that he consented, and not because he was not perfectly ready to come to that decision immediately. Mr. HUME asked whether the Right Honourable Secretary could instance any one case where the evi dence in an inquit y was not ;minted before the House came to a vote? He thought the House would have been acting very improperly by adopting the precipitation recommended by the Right Honourable Gentleman. Mr. GOULBURN s..id, that before the Honourable Gentleman asked for a precedent in which the House had not waited for the printing of evidence, he should shew that a case of irqoiry had ever been before the House, in which only one witness was produced by the accuser, and none at all on the other side. He thought there were many advantages in an immediate decision, and that it would be more clnducive to the ends Of jus tice. The evidence ought not to be considered only as it appeared in print, but the manner of the witness in giving it was very material to the degree in which it ought to be received or rejected--( Hear). Mr. W YNN protested against the doctrine that it was not competent for the House to come to a decision im mediately upon hearing evidence. It was always a question of expediency and no more. In the present case he was quite pr:pared himself to agree in the Resolution of his Right Hon. Ft lend. He consented to the delay, because there might be others wholvere not so prepared, and who wished to take further time for consideration. Mr. GORDON wished to know, before moving to report pro gress, whether the statement of Mr.. Kenrick, as read by the Learned Counsel, was to be printed at well as the evidence? Mr. CROKEIt said, the understanding had been that the state ment of Mr. Kenrick should be presented to the House as a Petition, and then printed in that form. The Chairman was then ordered to report progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday. The House resumed, and the Report was received, and ordered to be printed. The Colonies Trade Bill was reported, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. SURPLUS GRANTS BILL. Upon the motion for the third reading of the Surplus Grants DiII, Mr. S. RICE moved a clause for empowering the Lord Lieu tenant to apply the grants made for the four Establishments for Educatinn in Ireland, to an experiment upon the plan recommended by the Comthissioners of Inquiry, or in such other mode as be may think fit. The lion. Member asked whether the evidence taken before the Commissioners would be laid before the Rouse preiious to the close of the Session ? Mr. GOULBURN said, that the reason of its not being already printed and before the House was its very voluminous nature. He' had no objection to the clause proposed by the lion. Gentleman. Mr:CHOKER. said, that he lamented equally with the Hon. Member, that the evidence was not before the House. He had received information from persons of the very greatest respectabi lity, and upon whom he placed the greatest reliance, giving him the assurance that many points of the Report regarding Protestant Charter Scimiols were capable of, and would receive explanation. The Dill, with the clause added by way of rider, was read a third time, and passed. The Smuggling Prevention 13111, after a few words front Mr. Rama.? and Mr. CORMS, was . read a third time and passed. Mr. LOCKHART said, he should early next Session move to make smuggling, and the receiving of smuggled goods, an indictable offence. This he thought was the only way to reach these who en.' couraged the practice, and who did not care for payment of fines. The Report on the Customs Consolidation Bill was brought up and agreed to.—Third reading on Monday. Mr. GOULBURN presented a Petition from William Kenrick, Rsq. of Surrey, containing matters in answer to the chargesunder investization against him.—Ordered to be taken into consideration on Monday. The other Orders of the Day were , then read, and the House adjourned at HALF PAST Nnli to L.IW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, ;UNE '24. • A TAILOR'S BILL.-BATZ AND !INLAY D. BELL. The plaintiffs in this action are the celebrated tailors in Duke-street, St. James's ; tht defendant is a Gentle man rehicling in Dean-street. The action was brought to recover 1051. being the amount of their bill for clothes made for Mr. Bell. The only peculiarities in the case were the extraordinary dimensions of Mr. Bell, mho was stated to be on the verge of seven feet in height, and 20 stone in weight, a circumstance which occasioned considerable difficulty to the plaintiffs in fitting their customer, and some rather high charges, such as six and seven guineas for a coat. Several wit nesses were called, and letters read, to prove the deli very of the clothes, and the defendant's acknowledg ment of the debt. There was no defence, and the Cow lemma having directed the Jury, they immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages £lO5. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. JUNE 24. COUSINS AND ANOTHER U. BROWN AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought against the defendants, who are Sheriffs of London, for an escape. The Sheriff had arrested a man named Fletcher, for the sum of SOL at the suit of the plaintiffs, and let him go at large without taking a bail bond. Shortly after the arrest Fletcher became bankrupt. Mr. Serjeant WILDS, for the defendants, contended that the plaintiffs were not injured ; that it did not fol low that Fletcher would have given bail, but probably would have gone to jail ; and the bankruptcy being full proof of his insolvent state, the justice of the case only required nominal damages. The Cissar Jusvica charged the Jury that they were not bound to give a verdict for the whole sum for which the man was arrested, but in his opinion something more than nominal damages was re quited.—Verdict fur the plaintiffs—Damages, £l5. PREROGATIVE COURT, JUNE 25. WOIDWARD V. WOnDWARD. This was a suit in which two papers were propounded as being, either one or other of them, the will of Mrs. Sophia Woodward, late of Clifton. Sir 3onstHou. pron-.unced judgment. The testatrix died at the advanced age of seventy-seven, leaving property in the funds to the amount of 6,0001. and which she had disposed of by two papers, marked A and B. By the first of these papers she bequeathed various small legacies to different relations, amounting in all to ab ut 5001. and left the residue of her pro perty to Mi.s _SJphia Dixon, to whom she was much attached. In her last illness she called fo- pen and ink, and drew up a paper cancelling the former one, and in, which, alter bequeathing her It 'use and furniture to one of her i.ephews, she re-appointed Miss Diann resi duary lisatee. This , paper she did nit sign, owing to her b ing seized with an attack of spasms, but it was in proof that she had repeatedly alluded.to it subsequently., and had always tecoatised it as contain'ng her last will. Under these circumstances the COURT was bound to pronounce it a valid inittument, and to decree for it accordingly. ELECTION OF SIiERIFF.& Yes'erday . a Common H ill was held, for the purpose of electing the Sheriff. of lentdon and Middlesex, for the year ensuing. The dimes of the respective Candaites were read over by the Town Clet k. Amongst them were--- • Mr. Alderman Carman, Sir C. nowea, Mr. PIIILiT Hutto, Mr. Tams Coots, Mr. Jona FOWLER Dove, &c. The shew of hands was decidedly in favour of Messrs. Iluan and Dove, and the Commost &musty declared that the electiOn bad fallen on Prime Haan, Esq. Citizen and Scrivener, and Joust Fovnza Dove, EN. Citizen and Stationer; but it was .then announced that Messrs. Wool.r.zir and Kamm had demanded a Poll. Upon the name of Mr. PHILIP 'Ulm being put in nomination, Mr. HENRY Flux r stepped forward amidst loud hissing. He was about to make some observation, when he was interrupted-by 111y a ,Sheriff Diowtr, who said that t e could not allow any discussion. Previous to the names being read, it was competent to any 'everyman to make observations, but Mr. Hunt had suffered chat time to pass by. (Here there was a general uproar, and Mr. Hunt very re luctantly retired). The Sumner afterwards announced that Messrs. Min and Dove had also demanded a poll. The SHERIFF then announced that the different Mem bers of the Corporation w. uld retire to the Court of Aldermen, and announce how far the election had pro ceeded, and the poll should commence as soon as pos s ible. Polling for one hour commenced at three o'clock, and on casting up the same the numbers were— Dove . . 42 I Marten . . 4 Hurd . . 30 Woolley . . 4 RSCHAED CLAIM Esq. was unanimously re-elected Chamberlain ; Messrs. Lewis and Gria.max. Bridge Masters; and the four former Ne Conners were re appointed. The following Gentl.men were removed from the situations of Auditors of the City and Bridge House Accounts, having served Itwo years, viz. Mr. RICIMID Soma and Mr. &often Ilyacosize. Mr. Rosette CARTEL and Mr. RICHARD WALTER were continued for another year; and Mr. Cumices Baum and Mr. Wu.Lta CARTER were elected for two years. The Auditors read astir Report for the present year. A Court of Aldermen was afterwards held, at which the Chain berltin and Bridge Matteis were sworn into their respective oMces. IYESTMINSTEK SESSIUNS, JUNE 24. All the witnesses against Lord Harborouzh, and his friend, Mr. Bailey, for committing an assault and bat tery on a wa:climaii, at Stevens's Hotel, Boni -street, went before the Grand Jury, and this morning they came into Court, and pi onounced a true bill against his Lord ship and his friend. The ti 41, we understand, will take place on the adjournment d iy. G. Pad and J. Smith were indicted for a fraud, in endeavonring to impose upon Mr. Norris, the landlord of the White Horse, in Long-acre, by tendering him a 51. note, purporting to be of the S , mersetshire and Ire land Bank, but which Bank has ceased to be in exist ence for 15 ye us past. The facts of the case are already familiar to our Readers. The prisoners went into the 'White Horse, and after drinking wine, ale, Ike. to the tune of 12s. 4.1. tendered this note in payment, which the landlord suspecting to be a bad one, sent for an officer and gave them into cusody. No evidence Was adduced to prove the non-existence of the Bank in question. The CHAIRSTAN charged the Jury. He had no moral doubt of the guilt of the parties, but as no evidence had been given to prove the note valueles-, they were bound judicially to assume the con trary, and mum...therefore acquir the prisoners. . The prisoners were actriltted accordingly. • Atu: Dndfsed, who was yesterday convicted of keeping a disorde:ly house in Shire-lane, was this day called up '6r4 judgment. No affidavits - in mitigation were put in, lint her advanced age (between 70 and 80) h:•cl its due .weight with' the Court, and her sentence was only four •asonths o(infitiernent. GROS! FRAiii).—J. Maddox alias John- Francois, a well-kn Own darer, was put to the bar on an indictment chnrging him with' defrauding a Mr. Greville of 101.—. Itt , be remembered that the prisOner went to the house of the prosecutor, and represented himself as the Captain of a vessel just arrived from India, adding that, he wander the necessity' Of sailing the next day for Brusieli, He then presented the shawls in question, which he described to have been worked by negroes, .and for which he received a 101. note of the Bank of England. The shawls were proved to be not worth more than twelve shillings; and Mr. ADOLPHUS having made an ingenious and humorous speech for the pri soner, the CHAIRMAN summed up the evidence to the Jury,. who found him Guilty. The Comm sentenced him to be imprisoned six months in the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour. Marshal MACDONALD, Duke . ryf Tarentum, arrived in the city. of Edinburgh Saturday evening: he went to mass at the Catholic chapel on Sunday morning, and visited Bishop CAMERON.. He has since received nu merous visits from Noblemen and Gentlemen of the oldest families, to some of whom he remarked, that from what he had seen of them and their country, he felt more pride than ever in having Scotch blued in his veins. He has visited the field of battle at Preston pans, where his father fought in the ranks of the Pre tender ; and he intends to visit many other celebrated spots in Scotland, and, among the rest, the cavern where the Chevalier kept himself concealed, with a few of his folloWers, amonf whom was the Marshal's father.' He is to set off nest Thursday, on his way to the north and west of Scotland ; and alter having seen the most interesting parts of.the country, he will embark in a King's cutter, which has received orders to attend him and take him to some of the principal Western Islands. Amongst others he will - visit South Uist, where his ather was born. The same cutter will then take him to Ireland. After some stay in the sister island, he will return to London, through Liverpool, visiting Manchester, Birmingham, Stowe, Blenheim, and some other of the most splendid seats of the Nthility, end not forgetting to take a view of a few of the best spe cimens of British farming and manufacturing indus try. The Marshal, who was never in England before, is enraptured with the beauty of the country, of the towns, and, above all, of the metropolis of Scotland. A singular Public Company has been formed in Paris, with a capital of 100,0001. English, fur the purpose or importing from South America all the new publica. , tious of that country, and causing them to be sold in France, as also translations. Thursday evening, about seven o'clock, Mr. GRA HAM ascended, attended by two Gentlemen, named ADAMS and DICANB, from White . Conduit House, in his silk balloon. The day was remarkably line. The balloon pursued an easterly direction, and after continuing in sight about three quarters of an hour from the time of 'ascent. descended.% ith the. vo ) agert in the vicinity of Wanstea I, Essex, without any material occurrence. SUDDEN DEATH.—About two o'clock -on Thursday afternoon, as Mr. BURGOYNE, a Gentleman who Icktgei at the house of Mr.'Srawattr, Bask-court, Strand, knocked at the door, befell duain and instantly expired. . • • 1 • . • BAPTIST SOCIETY POR PRO3IOTEVO GOSPEL IN IRELAND. The Eleventh Anniversity of this Society was ye.t-rday morning, at the City of London Tat Bishopsgate.street. Breakfast was provided at o'clock, and several hundred pers-ns partook the'reof, of er %Lich the company assera,b:eJ in the Ball-rooti, which was crowdet) to eicess by a respectable asselle'' the majority bring the fair sex. • Abc.ut :even o'clock the business c ,, rnmencect, the Ch air WAS taken by J. Burrattwoltro, Esq. 1 who eelivered an appropriate preparatory address, c411.:d on the Secretary to read the Report. The Rev. Mr. Num, Secretary, then real ft dacumtnt, which was printed and distributed thus theroont. It noticed the " erroneous and incorrect" statements made by one of the' witnesses before ' Selezt Committee of the House of Commons of State o Irel end," which represented this Society as ing for its object to proselyte the children of the Roman Catholics. They wished to make m..n become 14 Christians" without aiming to convert them to religious opinions merely ; and their conviction that the Hol; Scriptures in their schools is indispenssble to a proper education. The number of Se.ools of the Society 90, which contain 8000 scholars, 7.8 th% of whom Roman Catholics. They have many Irish Scrir rea 'ers, who go about to the cabins, and read the in I ith t) the people, with much effect—(Hear). Several Resolutions were then proposed, and many excellent s. dresses delivered to the Meeting, by the Rev. Messrs. Middieditch, Edwards, Hawkins, Grocers, Cramp, Wilson, ICinghorn, Ste. JosEPH BUT TERwoRTH, Esq. M.P. then rose, and that he could not put the first resolution from the ' without a few observatitms on the result of that oppo sition which the Roman Catholic Priests had given last year to the circulation of the Scriptures in Ireland, The long deb rtes at Carlow, Carrick on Shannon, and Esky stele printed and in every one's hands ; but there we: a fact connected with the last which' he would mention, and doubted not that similar instances were numerous. .4 1 poor E 'man Catholic was present at that debate, r WAS sh convinced by the arguments in favour tight of man to read the Bible, that he renounced Popery, end finding himself exposed to the peril of his life, he came to London. He arrived one Morning at his (Mr. B.'s) house at breakfast time, when one or two Gentlemen of rank were patent, and being io troluced, he told his story with such artlessness that they were thor,ughly convinced of his sincerity— (Hear, hear).—He bad left Ireland withfifte. - n shillings in his pocket, having divided all his worldly wealth with his aged father—( Applause).—He had since found employment as a potter in a warehouse, and gave much satisfact;on—(Hear, hear). The Resolution was carried naves. con. The Rev. Dr. STEDMRH said the downfall of Popery was predicted in the Bible, and was speedily taking place in Ireland. Ministers of CHRIST ought not to be so tame in opposing it, but should meet it in the spirit of Luther and the early Reformers—( arise). At Preston, in Lancashire, there are 10,000 C - atholics, and two immense Roman Catholic Chape)s. The Jesuits' College, at Stoneyburst, is splendid, and the Priests and Professors there behave so politely and mildly to visi tors, as to send them away quite in love with Popery. The Rev. Mr. Fianna addressed the Meeting at some length, and concluded his speech by saying, before I sit down, I must tell you there will be a collection made; and I wish to avoid the mistake of my Irish brother, who was once preaching for us, and I gave him on a slip of paper these words—" Please to tell the people there will be a *collection after sermon." Hs got ': through his sermon admirably, and then, hold ng up the paper, he said," I have now to tell you, my friends, that a collection will be made to-day, after the-congse g ition is dismissed—(Great laughter). I hope this day, however, (said Mr. F.) that the collection will be made b:fore the assembly separates. (The Rev. Gentleman then sat down amidst loud cheers aced laughter). The Rev. Mr. Raysi said that he came this dto make Wpm lession to the Chairman, and to ackantilidge 1* repentameir*, past neglect of the Society. . Mr. Vox. Bur ow {of Denmark) said, tilt . on the Conchae tia . had always observed the grossest ignorance amongst the tallith.' ' . The company then joined in- singing a hyMa ; after whi*assa. lection was made at the door; and they finally rieparatird aslte‘ -vt ten o'clOck. . Between William Kelly, a well-doing tradesman, and Helen Henderson, a respectable servant, a mallet.. attachment had subsisted for years.. Both resided in the parish of Urr, in Galloway, and, little anticipating the calamity that followed, they, with joyous hear ti, fixed their wedding-day for Friday week, the 10th instant. A number of mutual friends were invited, and the ceremlny was to be performed at hieikle Dal beattie, the, residence of the family with whnm the : bri.'e lived, and who were desirous of paying her every attention. On the Thursday preceding she became suddenly indisposed, and, on some one asking her to lie down a little,' touchingly replied, 4. Yes; but it must be in a soft place ; for, oh ! I feel as if 1 would • never rise again." In the course of the day she be came worse, and a Doctor having been sent for, he declared the complaint to be of a serious natute, and indicated from the first I , is fears as to the issue- t4ex, t morning the wedding party began to assemble; the . worthy clergyman also arrived ; and then, alas ! the house of joy was unexpectedly turned intu the houie of mourning. The unhappy bride, whose sands of life were well nigh run, was humanely made aware of her situation ; the heart-broken bridegroom was also warned that death was in the cup ; and, amidst the tears and sobs of all present, they were mu tually interrogated whether, under such an awful dis pensation of Paownitticr i the proposed ceremony should proceed or be delayed ? A question so try ing perhaps, never put under similar circumstances; and after communing with their Own hearts, the bride ex pressed a wish to close her eyes as an affectionate wai, the bridegroom to discharge the duty of a sorrowir g widower, by laying the head of his betrothed in t e grave. This resolution added not a little to the al.,ony of the scene; the mournful party approached the couch of the dying woman ; the divine favour was most pathetically invoked amidst many interruptions from hearts that seemed ready to burst from the.bo soms the y 'agitaied ; the bridegroom grasped the burning hand that was languidly extendtd in token of assent ; tne worthy Clergyman pronounced a blessing,and in faulter. lag accents made those one, wihoin in less than twelve hours death had severed and sundered for dy e , hat followed.
