Easter is styled by the Fathers the highest of all festivals, the feast of feasts, the queen of festivals, and Dominica Gaudii, the joyous bunday. Masters granted freedom to their slaves at this season; and Valuable presents were made to the poor. A very singular custom formerly prevailed at Lost ' withiel, in Cornwall, upon Easter Sunday. The free holders 'of the town and manor having assembled to gether. either in person or by their deputies, one among them, each in his turn, gaily attired and gallantly mounted, with a sceptre in his hand, a crown on his head, and . a 'sword borne before him, and respectfully attended by all the rest on horseback, rode through the principal streets in a solemn state to the Church. At the Church-yard stile the Curate or other Minister ap proached to meet him in reverential pomp, and then conducted him to Church to hear Divine Service. On leaving the Church, be repaired with the same pomp and retinue to a house previously prepared for his recep titre. Here a feast suited to the dignity he had assumed awaited - him and his suite; and being placed at the held of the table; he was served, kneeling, with all the rights and ceremonies that a real Prince might expect. This ceremony ended with the dinner; the Prince being . volantarily di.robed, and descending from his ' momentary exaltation to mix with common mortals.— On the origin of this custom but one opinion can be reasonably entertained, though it may be difficult to trace the precise period of its commencement. It seems to have originated in the actual appearance of the Prince, who resided at ltestormel Castle in former ages. But on the removal of royalty, this mimic grandeur stepped forth as its shadowy representative ; and continued for many generations as a memorial to posterity _of the princely magnificence with which Lostwithiel had for merly been honoured.—Easter-day is always the. first bunday after the full inc .n, which happens upon, or mat after the vernal equinox (the 21st of March).

A question of very pest inteeest came on befire the Court of Aldermen on-Tuesday last. It arose in its argument before the Vice Chancellor Upon the sub}ect of property left by the celebrated Sir Francis Drake.-s- In the year 1782, Sir Francis Drake, Admiral of she Red, was, in consequence of a victory gained over the enemy ir. the West Indies, with other officers, under ,Lord Rodnsy presented with the freedom of the City of London, by a vote of the Court of Common Council, and was, in pursuance of that vote, made a Liveryman of the Company of Grocers, and sworn in a freeman. Sir Francis Drake took the several oaths that are ro. quired in he taken by all persons who are honoured With the freedom of the City. He was not free by birth,. or servitude, or purchase, or other .vise than as aforesaid. H. married Pooley Chislow some time afterwards, and made over to her the sum o f 15,0001. i n t h e 3 pet Cent. cimsolidated Burk Annuities in lieu of dower. In the year 1789, he died intestate, and without issue. The G-orge Walcot Onslow was constituted executor' to the estate. His widow some time afterwards mar tied Mr. Sergeant Onslow. She had received by the stature or distribution, the share of the property to which she was entitled as the widow of the Baron -t, and for some years it was supposed that there was no further claim upon the part of the Learned Sergeant. It how item occurred to him that the privilege of a citizen of London, which he believed extended to-his wife, as the widow of a freeman, might be made available in ob taining an increased share in the property bequeathed, and he accordingly claimed, in opposition to Mrs. Fuller, a near relative, we believe, of Sir Franck Drake. The case came before the Vice• Chancellor, who, atter having heard counsel, ordered that di,. Lord Mayor and Aldermen should be applied to to certify the custom of the city if London on those points:— Ist. Whether Sir Francis: Drake, having been presented with the freedom of the city under the above-mentioned circumstances, was a freeman of the city of London in the sense, meaning, and opera don of the custom of the said city, relating to the distribution of ' the effects of freemen who die intestate; and in case the custom of the city of London as to the distrihution of personal estate ap plies to such a freeman as Sir Francis Drake was, then Cdly, Whether there is any cottons of the city of London, by virtue whereof the wiuow of a freeman, having the benefit and provision of such settlement as the settlement in the pleadings in this cause, is debarred from her customary share of his personal estate." Those questions were first propos. d to the Recorder of the City of London, hut were submitted, at his suggestion, to the Court of Aldermen for their certificate by the mouth of the Recorder. Mr. WAKEFIELD, who appeared as Counsel for the executor, who bas no interest in the decision, stated that his attendance was merely complimentary. Mr. SHADWELL, as Counsel for Mr. Sergeant Onslow, contended that Sir Francis Drake had been a freeman of the City of London in the most complete sense of the word, and had been entitled to all the privileges of one of that body. The conferring of the freedom of the City upon meritorious individuals comptehended, of course, all the advantages to which pet sons who ob tained their freedom In any other way were entitled, otherwise it would be a mere mockery to proprne such a nro.le of conveying the sense the Corporation enter tained of the great efforts of the naval and military heroes of the country. Mr. Shad well cited some au thorities in support of his position; after which Mr. Serjeant SPANK'S address d the ,Court for the other claimant to the property. - He argued - that - the eetkiris of the:City, c.nterresl as it had been apbbl' Sir Francis Drake, was not burdened with the-hictrOe• niences which necessarily attended-those atm I).'euAtbel 'freemen tinder d.fferent circums ances; and- that it never could bare been - meant to impose upon a man upon whom the freedom, had been bestowt . ct as a mark.of hoptuir trod testimony of great merit, the performance of duties iocrimpatibie with his situation. Pile custom of the City et Loudon took away from parents the right to leave their children under the guardianship of those whom they might approve, and place them under the controul of—whom ? Why, of ,the Chamberlain of London. That regulation might be a wise one so far as related to the orphans of those who were freemen by purchase, servitude, or birth ; but how must the Duke of Wellington be surprised at being told, that one of those rewards to which his mi litary exertions entitled him was, that his daughters must at his death be placed under the care of the Chamberlain of the City of London, and that all at tempts to interfere with that regulation would be vain. Bat the Chamberlain was to have raitill greater autho rity over those who happened to meet with the appro• bacon of the Lord Mayor and Common Council of the City, and to be presented with the freedom mere mote of the Corporation. If the question were decided in favour of the argument of his Learned Friend, Mr. Shadwell, the D..ke of Wellington, in that case, must, resign his authority, with regard to the marriage of his daughters. into the hands of the Chamberlain, who, in the event of his Grace's death, could exercise a paternal authority over them, until the age of maturity recog nised by the law. The Ihielles of Richminad arrived here yesterday from Mon teith, Wigtenshire, the seat of Sir William Showell, where her Grace had been on a visit to the worthy Barenet. A meeting of the Magistrates and Council of Kilmarnock was held yesterday, for the purpose of devising means for supporting the unemployed weavers of that place. It is intended to provide them with work lo their own trade. or otherwise ; but if, as we have just been informed, the demand for Kilmarnock goods, particularly plaids and shawls, has materially increased within a few days, there is every probability that the weavers may very soon find employ ment unmixed with public beneficence. A must distressing accident occurred this morning, at the coal pit lately opened by Mr. Taylor, at the Belt Rock quarry, opposite Prestwick toll, by which three me* lost their lives, and five have been materially injured. John Dunlop and William Smythe went first down, Pride and Mr. Gordon next. and after them Joseph going and John Rice. Two buys were standing at the pit-head waiting the return of the creel to go down, when a dreadful explo sion took place, which burst the building at the pit-head, 'and drove the two buy: to the ground, at the distance of eight or ten yards from where they stood. In about ten or fifteen minutes a cry i was beard from below, and upon going down, Mr. 'Gordon, and Rice were foiind in a senseless state. William Pride was able to. speak. Ewing and Dunlop were dead, and Pride expired a few minutes after be was brought up. These unfortunate men have all left wives and children to bewail their loss. We are sorry to state that James M'Gachan, son. mason bore, a very sober and industrious man, was killed in the Sa on Thursday last, *bile employed in taking down the wall ar Doswell's park. For the sake of expedition, the practice at Mil* mining was adopted, and while doing this a lags gave ado denly way, and fell upon ild•Gachan before he get out ot reach. He lived only a few hours. Aid=lllll2 WAIIIOI4II asked whether Sir Francis Drake bad not, or could not have exercised his privileges as a freeman of the city ; and Alderman Bastwx asked whether, if a penmen were to be admitted to aU the privileges of a freeman, it was not reasonable to expect that be should submit to any inconveniences whisk might be bush parable from those privikges? Mr. Serjeant Scams thought, that an honorary freeinan might exercise his privileges, but certainly did not suppose that he Wm tO be subject to the inconveniences alluded to. much less coma a dis posal of his property as he might never have cosstemplaked. Mr. SWAM /ILL replied.—He contended that a person could not become a Member of a Society without some obligations. What he understood by honorary freedom was, she posseseien cif the without being subject to t h e bandana-10kb in be lo manpatible with the situation of the person whom ebe boome was auferred. . The Coons, when the arguments were concluded, subnihted the questions to the city law-officers, who will give their opinion before the neat Coast of Aldermen. The Recorder will then go dowito the Vice-Cluncellor's Court, and certify in she nuns of the Lotd Mayor and Aldermen. It is stated in Ist Burrow's Reports, 3d George 11. that a con siltation was had in the city concerning the sort of gown which It; was proper for the Recorder to mit on to make this ore Unita return in which consultation it was determined that it ought to be the I purple dotirrebe faced with black velvet , and not kis scarletgoviii, his black silk one, or the common bar town.
