The one edition is of date 1800, the other of 1608 • and both are in beautiful preservation, and display g reat excellence of ypography, and fine taste in the accompanying ornaments, as well in .he binding. The later edition is the more simple in appear ance, and contains, at the commencement. the whole ritual of the ('hutch of England, and, at the end, several of the Psalms set to ao,sic t the earlier and more shewy one contains -The whole Book of Common Prayer, or Church of Eng- I mod Service, in old English letter.

No determinate trial. wok place to-day, nor, indeed, were any of the judges or directors on the ground, but some of the engines exercised. TUZSDAY-SIVENTII DAY. This morning, at an early hour, the judges were on the ground, and Mr. Ackworth's engine was pronounced to be ready for start ing. It was weighed and the regular load assigned. The first printed cards having stated the weight of the " Sans Pareil" to be 4 tons 8 cwt. 2 qrs. the load assigned to it, according to the condi tions, would be 13 tons 5 cwt. 2 qrs. making in nil 17 tons 13 cwt. for the total weight of the engine and load Soon after ten the " Sans Pareil" started to do her assigned performance of 70 miles ; and for two hours this engine performed with great speed and regularity, averaging full 14 miles an hour, for a distance of upwards of ets miles, while drawing that enormous load. Unfor tunately, one of the punips which supply the boiler from the tender w.:4 cut of order, and, in consequence, some accident occurred, which it was tieceuary to stop to remedy. This is no proof of failure, because it has nolhing to do with the principle ; and we are assured that when the " Sans Pareil " has got into good working order, she will rank high hi the list of competitors, and may well be considered as having fulfilled the original conditions. Beyond the above, we believe little of importance took place, with the ex ception of the exercising of Mr. Stephenson's carriage, which, without carrying weight, performed several journeys, at a speed exceeding its former performances, to the great delight and sur prise of the numerous spectators who were, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, assembled on the ground. W lIDN 'LSD* T....EIGHTH DAY. The definite trial of Messrs. Braithwaite and Ericsson's loco r• etion carriage, " The Novelty," was fixed for this day. The had having been attached, the engine started on its journey shortly after one o'clock. It performed two trips with great celerity ; but, when running down the course for the third time, the pressure of the steam was too great for the boiler, which unfortunately burst. Tbis accident, which was unattended with injury to the indivi duals on the catriage, put an end to the trial, and The Novelty was taken from the course. We understand that its proprietors, in consequence of the accidents which had befallen their carriage, signified to the judges their intention to withdraw their engine from the competition for the prize of five hundred pounds.— The triAs which have taken place have satisfactorily proved the superiority of the principle on which The Novelty is con structed. The machine was, however, too hastily and slightly fabricated—defects whlch Messrs. Braithwaite and Ericsson can easily remedy in any future engines which they may construct for rail roads. After the accident to The Novelty's boiler had taken place, Mr. Burstall's engine exercised ; but, the'works being stiff, its speed was not more than six miles per hour. Mr. Stephenson's powerful loro-motive carriage then ran up and down the road for the amusement of the company. Its speed, drawing between 40 and 50 passengers behind it, was nearly 24 miles per hour. The withdrawal of the London engine from the competition may be said to have left Mr. Stephenson without a rival, and his carriage, which combines strength with speed, will, it appears certain, gain 1 the premium of 500/. Public opinion seems to have gone considerably astray with respect to the late trials of these machines on the Manchester rail-road. It too often happens that results alone are regarded, and causes and circumstances altogether overlooked. Pr .bably a more striking instance of this cannot be given than the following fact, within the recollection of thousands. Just atter the invention of the steam carriage which had been in use for the last twenty, years on our railways, Mr. Trevithick publicly exhibited it for months on a circular rail-road, constructed on purpose in the Bedford Nursery grounds, now Euston-square. He al , o, on the 3d of August, in the same year, ran it, and won a large bet against a race horse. Hereupon public expectation rose to a high pitch, nothing less wits talked or thought of than the immediate application of steam loco-motives ro our common roads. It was however found, that this carriage, which would draw an immense weight on a rail-road and outstrip the fleetest horses, lay like a log when transferred to a common road, and could not move even itself. Indeed, the difficulties to contend with in applying locomotive carriages to our turnpike roads are altogether of a different description. The evenness and hardness of an iron surface, and the generally level character of a rail-road, render weight of little value, whilst the " bite of the wheels" being considerable, permits great effect to power. On the contrary, in common roads the least resistance holds a large proportion to the weight, and of course a much larger to the bite. In going up a hill the obstacles to overcome inc ease much, whilst the bite, the fulcrum on which the power acts, diminishes. So that, to ensure success on: our turnpike toads, it becomes nee e yto combine extreme strength with extreme lightness ; to have power at will withi.in encumbrance; and to possess some means of augmenting the bite in proportion. The commonest capacity must perceive the difficulty of incorporating such clashing qualities, and hence the wide difference bv.wten making a carriage to go on a rail and on a turnpike road. A carriage, which an a common mail would run eight or ten miles an hour with a ton or two after it, 'would take tour times the weight, at four times the speed, on a railway ; whereas speed and power on the latter, as in the case of Mr. Tre vithick'a engine, are by jso means a proof that the machine could even move on an ordinary road.—lfornieg Paper. D EST It VCTIvE FIRE AT Ax 311 sT E —Tue:Alav morning, about halt-past two o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in some back premises belonging to 'Jr. Dommett, fellmonger, whose fureitute and stock in trade were nearly consumed: and the rapidity .of the ficmes was so great, that before the engines arrived, the adjoining houses were in the must imminent clangor, the inmates finding the greatest ditliculty to escape with their lives. We sever to add that seven houses were entirely consumed, but•mo.r Pi the property was nicured, and 'no lives were lost.— (Dorset County Chronicle.) SHAKER VILLAGE A tribe of these unaccountable people is located near Loudon, twelve miles beyond Concord, New Hampshire. We had ar ranged matters so as to be present there on Sunday, to witness their mode of worship. This community is composed of nearly 300 in dividuals of the two sexes, in about equal numbers. The whole association is subdivided into three or four smaller societies, ur families, which, for certain purposes involving their own intetn.d economy, are distinct from each other. It appears to be a kind of confederacy of sociedes. It is well known that they profess to live in a state of perfect celibacy. The men dwell together in one suit of apartments, and the women in another, totally separate from each other. They are of all ages, from small children to octoge narians, and we saw one surviving piece of mortality, in shape of a woman, said to be 103 years of age. There is no public Hotel in the village, exhibiting the usual tall external sign of hospitality, for the entertainment of the wayfarer. But what answers the purpose as well, they all profess :o be so much given to hospitality, that the needy traveller may be sure to find a good supper, and a comfortable bed to rest his weary limbs. For this purpose some or the houses, with common consent, are prepared to receive visi tors with open hand, and to charge a fair equivalent. This is very convenient, and we soon found ourselves as much at home, among the broad brims and the neat close white caps, as we could have been if entertained by the most portly Bone= in the state. . Their houses are su ffi ciently nu merous, large, and convenient. Ott entering them one is struck with the incomparable neatness and polish of the rooms, furniture, and every thing visible. Their houses are painted within and without most thoroughly. Nut a particle of dust can be detected on the tables, chairs, or floors. As to the poor spiders, If ever one dared enter the village, he must have come washed, painted, and varnished, and on positive condi • tion, never to spread his hammock across the ceiling, or the whole brotherhood would have thrust him out. The cat is probably taught to keep house evenings, and not to sally forth till the sun be two hours high, lest puss should bring in a little morning dew. A tin flue, or tube, passes from over each candle to the chimney, not so.much to prevent disagreeable smell of the smoke as to preserve the colour of the ceilings, which are as white as the driven snow. Every thing is in character; cleanliness predominates to a curious extremity ; they beat the Dutch all hollow in the whole appear. ance of their houses. Nor do they stop here; their barns and out• houses are swept and garnished as perfectly as new Shaker brooms can make them. Their pig styes are examples of cleanliness, and the thoughtful pigs themselves are patterns of neatness for the whole swinish multitude' And here, perhaps, the credulity of our readers will be out of patience. But we were never more serious; the Shaker pigs wear a much more tidy holyday dress and appear-. :nee than those of the " world's people," as the Shakers terns all the rest of mankind, So it was with their habitations. It being Sunday, perhaps the sqneeling circles were sitting in state, to re ceive strangers. But the Shakers actually told us that they were taught to keep themselves clean, and we appeal with confidence to every one who has inspected them if they do not verify the asser tions of the Shakers. But enough of the swinish crew—'tis time to speak more of their betters. We had arrived in the village of a Saturday afternoon. There was to be a religious service in the evening. We were invited to attend. Was it to be a lecture ? Surely not—for there was neither reading nor speaking. It might be termed a conference, because the people met together. But we will state what happened. At eight o'clock the ladies present were conducted into the hall, by the prim sisters with starched caps, through one door, and the gen tlemen were led by the primitive-looking brothers of the associa tion, with broad brims, through another door. Presently the folding-doors were opened connecting the two parts of the hall, and exhibiting a body of men and women standing up and facing each other, with the spectators in the rear of each. After looking at each other for some minutes, probably to their great edification, and to our amusement, the Spirit seemed to move, and they set up their notes in nasal tones, with a kind of methodistical tune, to words that we did not hear distinctly. They constantly beat time with their hands and arms, and by vibrating their whole bodies. After singing • I tunes standing in their places, one of the Elders proposed chanting the "traveller's tune." At this, they ranged themselves in a procession in couples, the men still together and the women following up the rear, also by themselves.—They immediately turned up again, repeating the following couplet : " At last we have our Canaan found, And marching on the solid ground." This was repeated over and over, b;ating time with hands and arms, and marching round the hall. At' times they would all clap their hands in unison to the tune. There appeared to be present about 20 of each sex. Having continued this exercise, with great animation, for about half an hour, they resumed their original po sition, facing each other, and one of the Elders announced that the services were at an end. At this all dispersed, and we among the rest. " Here endeth this lesson." This exercise they call the " labour" of their religion. After returning to our lodgings, andconfabulating some time with the Elders, smoking long pipes, one of them intimated that, as next day was the Sabbath, on which they could not settle accounts, and as we proposed leaving before Monday, it would be necessary to pay the reckoning before '• retiring for the night." This was no unreasonable request, and the bill was soon adjusted up to the next afternoon. Next morning we were invited to attend the usual religious ex ercises. Soon after ten a procession was formed in couples, the brothers and sisters still in separate places ; thus all marched to the Meeting-house, the spectators, to the number Of about 50, biting in the rear. The two sexes took opposite ends of the hall as before, facing each other, and the spectators were accommodated with seats on one aide. As the house is not large enough to hold the whole fra ternity at once, different societies meet at different hours of the day. About 100 Shakers now appeased. One of them soot reed a long hymn, which was sung in chorus. They have no combination of parts—all unite in the tenor. The music is, of course, very insipid, and often grating to the auricular nerves. After this they com menced singing couplets similar to the specimen cited above, re peating each, several times. In aU their singing they move their arms and bodies in time. Having kept this up for half an hour, the seats were removed back for a " regular built" dance. But it was not constructed on the French style ; there was no "setting corners," no "chassee de chassee," neither " ladies' chains," nor •‘ pirouettes ;• nor was a single " pigeon wing" detected in the whole broth erhood ' or sisterhood. Much less, did it approximate to the •' Spanish dance ;" there was neither kneeling to the ladies, nor " waltzing" —(shade of Ann Lee forgive us for thinking of such a vision !1 There was none of this outlandish, heathenish flummery ; it was all plain sensible dancing, and with good solid shoes. The men and women were in opposite ends of the hall. All would " for ward and back" four times • at the fourth torward, they would balance, face to the right, an d forward four steps, and balance and face once more to the right, and back to their places, ready to commence again as before. This was kept up with great anima tion for half an hour, all singing in chorus couplets relating to Zion, Jerusalem, Canaan, &c. This is the sum and substance of their dancing or " labour."—Labour it is indeed, and the men all script off their coats to it in good earnest. Thus passed away more than an hour, when they resumed their seats, and one of the Elders stood up, and held forth for about half an hour, disciasing the tenets of their religion. To him succeeded two or three others, who entertained desultory discourses, varying in length from 10 to 20 minutes. By this time it was nearly one o'clock, and the congregation was dismissed, and returned in pro cession as before, and we returned to dinner. A DRUNKEN Cow.--John Bull is often drunk: why may not his cow get tipsy sometimes? A curious affair took place at l3ulwell, on Wednesday. Mr. Adin having been brewing sonic ale against the feast, set it outside the budding to cool ; a cow was attracted to the spot by the invigorating gale ; she tasted it, and finding it as pleasant to the palate as it had been to the smell, actually drank the whole, consisting of 14 gallons.—[So says the Boston Gaaette, and who will gainsay it?] On the 7th May, 1780, a labouring man, named Gurnmery, with• his wife, and a daughter aged nine, and Thomas Sheen, the brother of Gummery's wife, were murdered in their beds at Berrow, in this county. These murders caused the greatest sensation at the moment, and some persons were apprehended on suspicion, but no evidence could be obtained sufficient to warrant the trial of any one on the dreadful charge ; the general impression was, that the murders were committed from motives of revenge, arising out of transactions connected with the enclosure of Malvern Link. A circumstance has. within these few days, occurred at the Worcester Isitrmary, which seems to throw sonic light on the dreadful affair :—Oh the Ist of Augusta man, named Geo. Stokes, of Maddersheld, 75 years of age, was admitted into our Infirmary, having a contp aiut in one of his legs; a mortification took place, am: on Sunday be died. In the ne..r prospect of death, Stokes's mind appears to have been haunted by a terrible crime of his early years ; in moments of delirium be appeared trequently to revert to a murder in which he bad been concerned ; had this idea been con fined to the temporary, aberrations of intellect, perhaps little stress could have been laid upon the fact—but in a more collected muo. mein he acknowledged to one of the naedtcal officers that lie was concerned in the murder of Gummery and has family —that he " nobbled" one of them with a bill-book—and that the others who took part in the mursig were stow de.td. The instrument alluded to by Stokes agrees vet y well with that which appears to hav e b ee n mien, for on turning to our Journal of slay 18, 1780, we hod it stated that the evidence before the Coroner led to the belief that the poor creatures were " murdered .with a hatchet or some such like instrument." We think ir, thtretore, highly probable, that Stokes's confession 1 1 ,3 , .ttue, and that all the atlntsl in the dreadful tragedy have passed into isbit unseen world where they must render an account of the " deedidone in the body."— Worcester Journal. _ .
