GENUINE MASONRY. The well known sign we marki and Sy The .. .round to heal--pt still the sigh— And wipe the tear front Sorrow's eye $ For ore's the aim is, our's the art, To meliorare the human heart ; Of wild desires, to stem the Sood, And act as if of kindred blood! ST. ANDREW'S DAY. We have already stated that St. Andrew's Day was ' on Saturday celebrated with its usual festivities -and observances. Legandgives us a curious acount of this Saint, and ofthe circumstances which occasioned him to be adopted as the patron Saint of Scotland:— St. Regulus, or Rule, a-pious Greek, being warned in a vision to visit a distant country, called Albion, and to take with him the arm-bone, three fingers, and three toei of St. Andrew, relics, it seems, which he bad in his possession, or could procure, he obeyed; 'and setting sail' ith his companions, after being grievously tempest-tost, was at length shipwrecked on the coast of Othoninia, in the territory of Her gustus, King of the Picts. This happened i n the y ear 370. His Majesty no sooner heard of the arrival of the pious strangers, and their precious cargo of re liques, than he gave orders for their reception ; pre sented St. Regulus with his own Palace, and built near it the Church which to this day bears the name of St. Regulus, and the remains of which, together with its magnificent Monastery, form one of the finest ruins in Scotland. Ungus, another King of the Picts, gave this triGoo and St. Andrew, and ordained that it should be the mother and head of all the Churches in his dominions. This spot afterwards came to be called. St. A ndrew's, and was subsequently erected into the archiepiscopal See of the same name.' This Prince also first directed that the Cross of St.' Andrew should become the badge of the country. The Festival of St. Andrew, though more parti cularly celebrated in Scotland, is not aline noticed by the natives of that country. Luther, in his 66 Colloquia," says, that on the evening of the Feast , of St. Andrew the young maidens in his country un-. dress thernselve;, and in order to learn what sort of husbands they shall have, recite the following prayer in Latin: " Dens, De" 0 sancte AndrcT office ut bonum piam aeqpi tam virum ; !ludic milu osteade qualis sit cui me in %norm ducere debet." And George, in his translation of Necogeorgiusßr gum Papisticum, seems also to allude to some such observances in the folloss ing lines : "To Andrew all the lovers and the lustie wooers come, ' Believing through his ayde, and certain ceremonies done. 'While as to him they prosecute, bring, and conjure all the night, To have good luck e, and to übtaine their chicle and sweet delight." It is not stated in what way St. Andrew gave rise to these sort of amorous incantations, but, from the above quotations, they seem to have been common to more than one country. • In the Statistical account of Scotland, Duddington parish, distant from Edinburgh about a mile, we read, that many of the opulent citizens resort thither in the summer months, to solace themselves over one of the ancient homely dishes of Scotland, for which the place has been long celebrated. use of singed sheep's heads, boiled or baked, so frequent in this village, is supposed to have arisen from the practice of slaughtering the sheep fed on the neighbouring hill, for mat ket ; removing the carcases to town , a n d ' leaving the heads, &c. to he consumed in thii place. And accordingly singed sheep's heads arc borne in' ills procession of the Scots on St. Andrew's D.ty. Ifastel mentions a singular local custom on this day in the county of Kent, but which does not ap pear to have any telation to the Festival or Saint.—; Speaking of the parish of Easling, he snys—" That on,St. Andrew's Day (November SO) there is yearly a diversion, called squirrel-hunting, in this and the neighbouring parishes, when the labourers and lower kind of people, assembling together, form a lawless rabble, and being accoutred wit!' guns, poles, clubs, and other such weapons, spend the greatest part of the day in parading through the woods and grounds with loud shoutings ; and under pretence of demo, lishing the squirrels, some few of which they kill, they destroy numbers of hares, pheasants, partridges, and, in short, whatever comes in their way ; bteak- Ing down the hedges, and doing much other mischief ; and in the evening betake themselves to the ale houses, and finish their career there as is usual with such like gentry." MIRACLE-MONGERS DEFEATED.—A singular plot to save the life of a condemned rebel, and to derive from that circumstance an influence over the minds of the superstitious part of the population, has been' discovered at Oviedo, in Spain. The criminal, named. Roces Dorado alias Lantana, was ordered for execu-• tion on the 9th. He was put in Capilla, and per-, formed all his religious duties with an appearance of : remarkable devotion ; and he ate a good supper, and' slept soundly on' the preceding night. NVilen the usual hour arrived, and he'was led out from his pri son; he shevred no Alarm ; he looked coolly on, and his countenance retained the natural colour cone sponding with his youth and vigorous state of health. He was delivered into the hands of the executioner, who very carefully covered his head, neck, and part of his breast. He then proceeded to perform the office of.garreting or strangling . the culprit ; and it appeared that he applied to the instrument of death the forcemeeessary for that purpose. The executioner, however, contrived to avoid giving the fatal turn.— The result and the explanation of this affair are thus stated in the Madrid Papers : 44 This diabolical plot was the work of the friars who accom panied the etitninal to the scaffold, and was got up for the pur pose of fascinating the people, by setting up a cry that the un happy man had been saved from death by a mine*. One re claimed that be was opening his . eyes, and that Heaven bad saved bins. Another friar said, that though there was no (mercy on earth, there was still mercy in Heaven.' This infa. minis stratagem, which might have produced Dome effect among the ignorant and superstitious, was completely defeated by the Milker/ Commandant, who ordered four soldiers to discharge their,eices - ii l the cidpiff; and thUs completed the sentence.-- The .yebrl expired immediately, and the friars appeared very vela& at being disappointed -af their •asiracle. The executioner be. been committed to prison, and an innstigation into this soadalotia affair has commenced." LAST koala* lift MOON& eIIONPARTE. I • , • • The evening preceding her death she caned together her household. She was supported on white velvet pillows: her bed was crimson damask, and in the centre hung a crown decorated with dowers. The whole of the apartment was lighted in grand style. She called her servants, one after another, to her bed side, who knelt, and kissed her attended hand, which was skinny, and covered with a profusion of rings.— To her Chief Director of Finances, Junx BRROSA, she said, " Juan, my blessing go with thee and thine !" To MARIA BRLORADR, her waiting-maid, she said, " Go to Jerome, he will take care of thee. When my grandson is Emperor of France he will make thee a great woman." She then Called Colonel DARLZY to her beckside ; he had attended her in all her fortunes, and, in NAFOLZON'S will, had assigned him a dona tion orkl4,Qoo. " You," said she, " have been a good friend tome and my family : I have left you what will make you happy. Never forget my grand son ; add , what he and you may arrive at is beyond my discerning ; bin you will both be great !" She then called in all the junior servants, and with a pencil, as their names were called, marked down a sum of money to be given to each. They were then dismissed, and she then declared that she had done with the world, and requested water. She washed her hands, and laid down upon her pillow. Her attendants found her dead, with her hand under her head, and a Prayer book upon her breast. Thus perished the mother of one who has been a meteor on earth, and a blaz ing star to direct others ! She had some amiable qua lines, and, considering that her rise from poverty to wealth was s rapid, her way If conducting herself, and proud manner, may be pardonable. She did much good from ostentation, and died regretted for vault she could do, not lamented bran) , one for what she had done. Yesterday an Inquest was held at the Wheatsheaf, Croydon, on the body of J. Manning, a bricklayer, which was found in a ditch near that place, supposed to have been murdered; when it appeared, from the testimony of several witnesses, that the deceased had ''been drinking at two public-houses, and was met at a late hour : on Saturday night in a state of intoxica tion ; and. a Surgeon, who examined the body, de posed, th:it lie could find no marks of violence suffi cient to occasion death ; and hjs opinion was, that he died from suffocation. Verdict- 4, That the deceased fell into a ditch in a state of intoxication, and was there suffotated." A young woman, a servant to Mr. Farquhar, over seer at Carmylie Quarries, near Dundee, went into I I art apartment with a lamp in her hand, to procure a supply of oil. A cask of gunpowder, kept for the use of the quarries, was in *he room, into which a spark from the lamp having fallen; the gunpowder kindled with a tremendous explosion. The roof of the house was carried off, and the woman borne along, with it - to a considerable distance ; when the asto ilished female began to examine her situation, she found that she had sustained very little injury, and -Was much mole terrified than hurt. On the "even;ng 'of Friday fortnight, which was very rainy, a farmer, with his wile and his horse, had to teem n to their home from Northwich mar ket, a distance of a few miles. The farmer monnted,'his wife was placed behind him on a pillion. Their way lay across Martin Sands, a wild and dreary place. The road is also said to be haunted. The Lady was thrown from the pillion. As she fell she very na turally screamed, and to her scream the husband, all unconscious of her dilemma, coolly replied— " Eh, Sarah, Pm afraid I've hurt that woman sadly," and trotted on, leaving his poor wife to the mercy of the elements and the ghosts—nor did he miss his rib until, upon his arrival at his own house, Peter was called to help his mistress off the pillion.— " Why, master," said Peter, •" there's nothing here but the pillion!"—" Why, your mistress is there, you booby; why don't you. help her off?" retorted the angry farmer. Upon examination, however, it was found that she actually was not there, and the farmer and his servants, with lighted lanterns, went in quest of her. She was soon discovered, however, and con ducted home, without having received any material injury. At Plymouth, on Saturday evening, as a young man wa. holding a bottle of aquafortis before the fire, the bottle burst, and the contents flew up, went into his eyes, and so dreadfully burnt them, that it is feared his sight Will never.be restored. Wednesday. as Thomas Lister, tailor, in the em ployment of Mr. Simpson, of Turihoe, was returning from Durham, on a mule, about a'quarter of a mile south of Farewell•hall, a footpad leaped out of a plantation, which caused the tailor to whip and spur his beast with all his might, but the animal fell quite stupid, which enabled the man to come up with him; fortunately, however, the•robber in aiming his club at the rider, hit the mule and caused it to amend its pace, and - get clear off. . It is said, that the rental's: latelS , consigned to the care of a celebrated I3ibliopolist, at the west end of the' town, by his Noble Friend in Italy, and since depo sited in Harrow Church-yard, were those of a lovely child,• the daughter of a beautiful Greek Lady, who has long been his Lordship's ministering Angel. Cußiotls ittitetiOiltir. COKE, of Longford, in the county of Derby (brother to Mr. COK E, of Nor folk), is the father of several amiable and accom plished daughters. One of the tenants on his estate, a young farmer of superior address and attainments, had by the depression of the times become in arrears for his rent; his landlord. sent for him, and expostu lated with him on the subject, and hinted to him, that with his handsome person he might easily obtain a wife among some of .his richer neighbours, that would soon enable him to pay off his arrears, and place him in better circumstances in the world. The young farmer listened to the advice, looked thoughtful, and departed. In a few dayele•returned again, and told his landlord he had been reflecting seriously on their last conversation, and would follow his counsel. At this interview one of the daughters of hii wealthy landlord was present. In a short time afterwards it was discovered, that Jour; GRIM/MIMI (the name of the young farmer) 'had effectually taken the hint, and; by an.elopement•te.Gretaa Green, had beCotpe. the dutiful son-in-law of the Gentleman whO had am, unwittingly ) , bestowed upon him this sage advice.. . `worm University 1 room of J ohn January rUpth John Wheeler, _ surrender - Des.. ber 14, 16, and .

Faith if it was, summit wouldn't be here spaking_to ye ntwstit the mice," replit4 Jemmy Sullivan, with a shrewd queerish sort of a smile. The officers in searching his pockets-had found a number of English and Irish pawnbroker's duplicates, and the Magistrate, selecting one of them, asked— . " Whore did you get this ticket fot a pelisse?' " Bought it,.ynur Honour, of Myke Dermot, in DonaghaCee. He a bagpiper, your Honour." " And pray what are you ?" " A tailor, your Honour," was the reply ; bat one of the pa trOl, who is skilful is such matters, having examitud his h ,ags, • declared, that if he was a tailor, he had not used the needle tbvse twelve months at least.

Honest Jemmy . endeavoured to make the nature of these " little bagpipes" very plain to his Honour; but he did not seem to understand it exactly himself, and so he made nothing of 1:. Neither could he.accouet for his bringing his wife's wardtebe up to London . whilst she herself remained in Portsmouth ; and be was committed for furtlier examination on Wednesday nest. Even this order fot his imprisonment he took in perfect go.:d humour; and having carefully counted the ten or twelve shi hags whith the Magistrate *ordered to be returned to him, he replaced them at the very botteim of his pocket, and s. id, " I hopes your Honour take care o' me things ?" The 3lagetrate assured him he would, and honest Jemmy Sullivan then fulloo cd the turnkey as blithely as if he had been going to Donnybrook fair, instead of to prison. • Yesterday Mrs. Seal, the wife of the clothes talesman on whose premises a number of shawls, Sec. stolen from a warehouse in Watling-street, were found, was brought up again.

WOI/SHIP4TREET.-•••A TEAT STRANGE DISCOVERY— WiIIiam Thornhill was brought before War. Boorrr, Esq. the presiding Magistrate, for being found in the house of Mr. Wm. Henry Daker, of Chiswell-street, on Sunday night last. Mr. Daher stated, that his wife, late on Sunday night, when their woman servant was gone up stairs, was induced to follovi her into her room. On entering the room she perceived the bed-clothes move, 3nd immediately exclaimed, " Why you have got some person in bed !" The servant said it was only her sister. But Mrs. Daker seeing a pair of boots under the bed, became alarmed, and her husband being instantly apprized of the discovery, the prisoner was apprehended in the servant's bed. The servant did not appear, but Mr. Daher said she had been nine months in his service, and that they always found her honest and correct. She was a widow,and had been twice married. The Magistrate ol•served, that there was something mysteri out in this case, and it became the prisoner to give an account of himself, and the reason for his being in the house. • The prisoner said he was a hackney-writer, and wrote for Law Stationers, and that he was invited to stay there by the servant, who waa his sister. Mr. Bairn.—" You do not mean that you and your sister, if she is so, were going to sleep in the same bed?" Prisoner.—" No, she was going to make another bed on the floor." The prisoner being called on to name any Law Stationer he had worked for, mentioned the name of one, but did not know where be now lives. _ The Magistrate ordered him to be detained till he could pro-1 duce some one to give a more satisfactory account of his character. Bow-waver.—Taus Max.—A gentleman tailor, of the name of Barnard, charged one of his workmen, John Car, with an intention to commit an assault upon him. John Car, it ap peared froth the prosecutor's statement, is an excellent work man, can cut out a suit in the newest style-of fashion, and 4n the shortest space of time, but is very noisy and dangerous when drunk, which is only seven times a week. John Car Went to his master's house on Sunday evening, entered into his hell, and took out various articles, such as a goose, a lap-board, and a large scissors. Alarmed by the noise which the goose- made on the stairs, the master quitted the parlour, and asked John what he had got there? John immediately threw down the. articles, and seizing a knife threatened to rip out Mr. Barnard's entrails. The latter retired into the parlour for a tongs, and now a furious combat would have ensued but for the timely interference of Mrs. Barnard, a mild peace-making lady. When asked what he had to say for himself? John replied that he was drunk. The Magistrate said that was no excuse, and that if he had stabbed his master when drunk, he would have been tried for his life ; as the case stood, he would send him to . the House of Correction, there to be kept to bard labour. A very curious application arose out of the conviction of six Licensed Victuallers, for selling liquors during Divine Service. A man, in a suit of raven grey,and mud-beipattered boots, presented himself before the Magistrate, at the evening sitting, and said— " Sir, lam an undertaker, and I and all other undertakers— that is Looting undertakers, are under great difficulties in conse quence of the fines imposed upon publicans for suffering people to take refreshments in their house during service time ' • because , we are often obliged to wait an hour or an hoer and a h alf for the clergyman, and if we have to stand in the streets all that time, it will be a sad thing for us, especially in the winter. Now, what we want to know, Sir, is, whether a publican would be liable to be fined, or to lose his license, for sheltering undertaken?
