IJAG4RD'S EtvGLAND. The following extracts from the above Work are continues! from our Paper of Saturday last:—. ANGW.SAXONS. About the middle of the second century the Santo, as cheerer tribe of berberisus, occupied the district beton.. the Elbe and the Eyelet., go the neck of the Cumbriesn Cher sonesus ; in the course of two hoisdred years the same op pellation had become commas to all the nations fruits the extremity of the peninsula to the Weyer, the Ems, sad the Rhine. They formed • hied of voleatary apsuciation, which was loosely held together by similar interests, and congenial porpoise. Pillage by laud, piracy ►y am, was their only profession: mod Omagh the unopened fleet h■d ufte• twee employed to clutch, it could sever subdue, their dainties' and enterprising spirit. Bet as the power of Rome de clined, the audacity of the Saxes, ine►essed; their expedi tions became more frequent, their descents more destruc tive: from plunder they proceeded to culuaisation : and the mew who had depopulated, afterwards repeopled the better portion of Britain. Adventurers from each of the associated tribes were among the colonists; but the majority rousisted ofJotes, Angles, and Saxons, properly it called. The ori ginal seat of the Saxons has already been asentiosed: the Angles were their neighbours on the 'meth as far as the site of the regent town of Firlisliorgh: and brynail the Angles dwelt the nation of the Jules, with no other boundary than the ocean. From the language of the Saxons, their gigantic stature and national institutions, it is evident that they were of Gothic descent. Their whole time was alteraately devoted to indolence sad to rapine. To earn by labour what might be acquired by force, they deemed unworthy the spirit of a freeman, and cosisigued the culture of their lands with she care of their flocks, to the meaner labour of women and slaves. Every warrior attached himself to the tontines of come favourite chieftain, whom he followed in his piratical expeditions. These chieftains guided the councils of the tribe : and from them, i■ times of danger, was selected. leader, who exercia d the supreme command, and was dig. riled with the title of Conyng or King. His authority, however, was hot temporary. It expired with the esigeacy to which it owed its existence. The warlike exertions of these tribes mom ret Ant checked by their omit of mars : but during three oratories of later course or hostility with the Rumens, they bad learned to supply the deficiency. They bore a target on she left arm, and employed fur offence the spear, the sword, and the bat tie axe. The two latter were long sad ponderous; end to their destructive effects is attributed the havoc, which the 9•aoas never failed to make in the broken ranks of as enemy. As their ship* were not fitted for the transportation of cavalry, they usually fought on foot in one compact body; after their settlement in Britain, the chieftains, with the moat wealthy of their retainers, came mounted into the Thew esteem for the war hone ruse to a specks of VCRITS. bun : but previously to his initiation in the military melba, his nostrils were slit, his ears were stitched sip, and hie stows of hearing was entirely destroyed. From that moment be became sacred to the God of War, slid was conceived on important occasions to 1111101.011C11 the will of the Deity. In the infamy of their naval power the Saxon boats re sembled those of the other northern tribes: and a few plash*, surmounted with works of osier and covered with skins, bore the fearless barbarian scrum the ocean, in the search of ad ventures and of spoil. tint in the fifth citatory their chitties or war-ships Mid assumed • more formidable appearance: and from the number of warriors whom they carried, and the {earth of toe voyages which they made, we may conclude that they were formed of more solid and luting mideriala jls them the Saxons repeatedly issued from their ports, some times steering for a particular point, sometimes trusting entirely to the guidance of the winds: bat whether they were conducted by chance or design, their object was invariably the same, to surprise and pill• d fe the onoffrnding inliabi- Meteor same part of the British or Gallic roasts. Siduaisis, the eloquent Bishop of Clermont, his described i• animated Inagnage the merlin of the provilcials and the ravages sit the t•rbarians. * We have not," he says, " a more cruel cud more daiegeroos miemy than the Saxons.

They de spite shover t they are leered to shipwrecks they are eager This work has passed with eclat through the or deal of the whole round of Periodical Critics. The Quarterly Review, from which we gave an extract, bestowed the highest and most deserved encomiums upon the talents and extensive attainments of the distinguished author of " The History of Java." The Edinber4h Review (just published) speaks of the work in the following terms We now redeem our pledge to the public, by off ring some account of the very valuable work be fore us ; which presents, to the British reader at least, the only authentic and detailed account of a land of eminent fertility •nd happy situation, inhabited by an interesting race of people, hardly fewer than five millions in number; and whose history, it is slow discovered, chiefly by the industry of our country men, is connected with that of the three great civi lized nations of continental Asia—the Hindus, the Chinese, and the Arabs." After making several extracts from the book it self, slid adverting to the extensive information it contains, the Reviewers pay this just sled appro priate testimony to the political character of Sir THOMAS S. RAFFLES for his administration of the attain or “ The philmnthropy, and public spirit of our author, when lie administered the affairs of Java, effected lers in the reformation of these abuses; and his liberal views would have been completed, had the colony remained • few years longer in our possession.” - We early called the attention of the public to this excellent work, ■nd have had the satisfaction of seeing our observations re-asserted and enforced by the most distinguished writers of the day of every public opinion.

Holy Eve, or the Eve of All Saints, is still also generally observed in Ireland, and ire the capital, with all those superstitious rite§ so adini- ?ably described in BUf111 ; 11 Poem of Hallow E's•. On the other hand, the Protestant inhabitants Jo not fail toconsmeinorate the Ist ofJuly, the anniver sary of the battle of the Hover, on which day Coe Laid Mayor and Corporation, attended by t h e military in garrison, used to parade round the statue of King William, which on this occasion was fresh painted and decorated with orange rib bands. The practice, however, has been of late years discountenanced, and but partially cimtinued. It is, however, at the fair of Dooms brook, that the uatural humour, and peculiar character of the lower classes of the metropolis are hest seen. Donnybrook is • pleasant village, contiguous to the south suburbs of the city. It has a green or common, on which the lair is held in the month of August. It is regularly proclaimed, 11111111 is at.. lauded by police officers, whose interposition is j diopeusabla to preserve the peace. The fair, which is held for the sale of horses and black cattle. lasts • week, during which every mode of amusement and gymnastic exercise peculiar to the In►h is practised, each day concluding with • pitched battle, in which much blood is spilled, and many 'reads broke,,, but rarely ■ay life lost. The green is covered with tents, and filled with pipers, fiddlers, and dancers; and of late years they have introducer) mimeo. mountebanks, shows of wild beasts, and all those spectacles, but on a much more limited scale, which are to be found at Bartholomew fair. During the continuance of this lair, Harcourt. street, and the other avenues leading to it, present extraordinary spectacles, particularly in the even• nags. Almost all the carriages which plied at other parts of the town now assemble litre, and while they go to said from the fair, are crowded at all hours with company. The din and tumult of the roads on these occasions is inconceivable, parti cularly in the stillness of the night. From the vociferation, laughter, and fighting of these turbulent cargoes, • noise ascends. . which is heard for several miles in all directions. The attachment of the populace to this amusement is so great, that the Lord Muyor finds it ne cessary to proceed there at the expiration of the limited time, and striking the tents, compel the people to go home. These annual scenes of turbu lence and riot ought not to detract from the general good principles arid quiet demeanour of the Dublin populace. They are even now by no means so pre valent us formerly, not so much ou account of morals in the people, as from that depression of spirits which is the consequence of• the decline of manufactures in the Liberty, and the state of abject misery which the lower classes at present sutler, from the pressure of the times, but svisich we trust will not be of very long continuance. The com mon people of Dublin have always been celehrsterl for the richness of their humour and the liveliness of their repartees. The disciiminatiou of the upper gallery, by which theatrical talent is estimated, can DO where else be surpassed. The greatest eta-. monr and riot instantly subsides into the deepest attention and silence when superior acting or ringiiig require them, and the judgment of the house ou piece or an actor is often directed, and justly direct ed, by the mob of the gallery. The people of Dublin assert. that the English language is spoken better in that city thins in any other of the British dominions.
