LONDON, TUESDAY, Oci ort.rt 17, 1826% The war between Russia and Persia presents, in every point of view, the most important 01...ect of attention for this country. It will be remembered that we were at first 60 sceptical concerning the designs of Persia, that we sought to account fur the marching of the troops by sup posing some hostile demonstration against Turkey. But the citing is now put beyond qutstion ; the Manifesto of Russia, and the details of the warfare, show that Persia has had the madness to attack Russia. It is vain to at tempt to ilkgnisa the question concerning this war. The it! wrest of Persia is scaruly more cempromised by it than that of England; end seult.:l it must be without further e:•canchrocnt cn tit^ part of Russia, or England must at least obtain some advent P:4O (111%1VRICTit to that of Russia, and sufficient to render her successive acquirements of no itnportanee as points of attack on our Indian pof:sessions. The spirit of carp:est has keened the w!mle nation of Russia ; and, disguise it as we may, son - it:thing must be tit•!.• in the only practica l e way to check her career. The Poile of Sunday, and the French ropers of Satyr. day, contain no intelligence of consequence. That re- . sp. cting the operations on the Rossian and Persian fron tiers is not co late as the accounts by the Ramburgb Mail. FRTSCII Fens.—PAßl3.

The duties of the clergy arc of a more elevated nature; they are supposed to stand aloof from the world, and never to mingle with its business or its vanities. Their business is to enforce our moral duties by the sanctions of religion, but not to step from their high s tation t o t a k e th e arms from the soldier, though he wield them, in their • judgment, wrongfully—or to disport the statesman, how eeer much they msy disapprove his measures. If they are capable of such offices as these, they are unqualified for tint which they have chosen ; and, if theambition of filling such situations were once to pervade their minds, the worst .of confusion would be the result. All attempts at produce ire political effects in the pulpit—all allusions to disputed eestions in Government matters—are so many attempts to /oh the proper sphere of the interpreters of Reveletion—so teeny ambitious encroachnients on depaittoents which they t.reld not to understand. IVe speak not of the higher dignitaties of the Church of England, who are called upon to sit in Parliament: it is their duty td think on political subjects; but we presume that our ancratoes did not place them thereto enter into all the petty feelings of the day, tut for the purpose of watching over those particular ocostiona which might involve the concerns of religion. Even from them nets would not willingly tolerate politics r. the pulpit ; but when a dissenting sectarian utters cries Lfeedition in what he terms the Chair of Truth—when the l'siir.ister of the Gospel makes that Gospel a tool for pro ceeing political influence and serving his ambition—we eey lie ought to be restrained, if it be possible us restrain 1. , m. There is nothing but a consideration of justice I which ought to Slimier we tram depriving . - thew'-wfsite4 f: uits of their detestable conduct: but, *inform nately, in tl:e case of the Roman Catholic priests in Ireland, to which we have been alluding, we fear that justice will hardly Lest us out in setting aside the Elections which have been decided by their influence. The greatest inenvation ever attempted in our Constitution must be carr i on into effect Lefore these Elections can be invalidated ; fee Ito one can alvocate the setting aside Members elected in cenei grence oil the influence of superstition, without ure'ng r. alone sslich bear squally agair.st every miter species of influence, :red which are, in fact, little better than Radicalism. l'hough we might charge the freeholders with it.gratittule, aid the priests with meddling—though we detested their re- I ,gion as we would tle , gates of hell—though we feared them as much as we abhor s:ene of the doctrines esti ibed to t h em —unless we adopt the principle which they are said to I are adopted, we cannot do evil that good may come of it; we cannot do injustice, were it even to serve the cause of religion. But there is nothing for religion to fear from tie new hush Members. The late violent ebullition of priestly zeal will soon subside, if left to itself. Bet a new set of Elections in Ireland might raise a second rebellion; for it could not be difficult for those who are said to have brought the peasantry to vote against their landlords. in tl.e face of starvation, to lead them to face death in an ee;ier aid more acceptable shape on a field of battle. Religious enthusiasm is only to be quieted by-disregarding it ; and we are not yet such bigots as to believe that there cannot be an honest Catholic. It is asccrtcd by some of the ship-owners that the foreign vessels which have recently arrived in our ports, so far from carrying out a greater quantity of our manufactures than is usually exported in return for foreign productions, have not (to use the expression of the Hull petitioners) taken a single ounce of British manufactures in return for their cargoes. The freights, it is added, arc almost invariably paid in hard cash. Now this assertion confutes itself, for, -if there were a continual exportation of gold in this way, it is obvious that the course of exchange would speedily fall below par, whereas it has continued for several years considerably above it. IVltile this is the case it must be contrary to the interests of :he foreign ship-owner to carry back English gold in exchange for his merchandise; but, I even if he found it necessary to take gold at a loss, it is clear that the continued exportation of our coins, if it had been carried to the supposed extent, would long ago have brought down the course of exchange. Contrary to the common opinion concerning the superior cheapness of foreign vessels, it is a fact that for several months back ! British chips have been freighted—for the Baltic, in parti- I culsr—on terms considerably lower than those which are de mantled by foreign vessels; and though this may be said to prove the distress of the Shipping interest, as showing that they are obliged to trade on lower profits, we do not think that circumstance is likely in the end to be detrimental either to them or to the public. Abundance of capital is advantageous in two ways: in the first place, by enabling merchants to make advantageous purchases; and, in the second place, by enabling them to sell on less profits. If we estimate the quantity of capital in different countries as compared with this, it will be found that our merchants can advantageously trade on a less profit than foreigners, in the same way as the wholesale dealer is content with much lower profits than the retailer. Money, which does not exceed four per cent. interest in this country, can hardly be reckoned under six in the coun tries of whose rivalry our ship-owners are apprehensive; so that an English ship-builder might procure a loan of I Sol. for the same annual charge as a foreigner could pro ! cure 100/. It is clear, therefore, that the foreign ship builder, whether the expenses of building be defrayed front his own funds or from loans, must require just half as much more profit on the same capital than the English man; and this will hold good not only in the original cost of ship-building, hut in the whole charge of navigating I our vessels. This is an important point, to which we may probsb!y return. Another very unjust accusation against the advocates of the free trade system is founded upon the I fact of an increased number of foreign arrivals with corn. No one who has considered our old navigation laws in the I most cursory instiller could possibly ascribe these arrivals to the partial repeal of those laws, since every one of these vessels in all probability might have broevelit corn, though t every one of these laws had remained in force. The ves ads were laden with the produce of the country to which they belonged, and our nevigition laws never prohibited such vessels front entering our leathours. Cl f 1", MONDAY EVENING. There bas been very little doing to-day in the British Funds ; they, however, support the quotations of Satur day,within an eiglith,Consols, which opmed at sq, having closed at ROD for money, and for the Account at 804. Exchequer Bills and Indian Bonds are firm, the former at 19, 19 ;.and the latter at 31, 33. Accounts have been received of an action basing taken place between the Russians and Persians, at Elisabethpol, in which the latter were completely routed. In the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds beai nearly the same quotation as on Saturday, being 651 to 6G, while Colombian, till within a very short time of the close of the Market, varied from to to 41 ; at this period, however, 100,000 were thrown in, with a new assurance that a passenger in the hussar had arrived in town, who asserted that there were not any dollars ready for shipment on ac count of the Colombian Government. This was evidently a mere report, to aid speculation, and, as is always the case, that which ought to affect the Market does not, while any idle circumstance, however trivial, produces the most extraordinary results, which is fully exemplified to-day. The reported surrender of PA LE, and the prospect of a settled form of Government without bloodshed, was un heeded ; but that of the dollars not being ready for la:sr,' c tion by the Hussar voyage or was considered indeed ca lamitous, and had the eiKet of sending the Bonds in ques tion down to 37i, 3R. Chilian are stationary at 10, and Greek are a shade better at 113. The favourable influence that Mr. CA NNI NG it supposed to be exciting in favour of the Greeks in the French espiNil was assigned as the cause. Spanish arc nailed to the wall at 104. In Shares there is no alteration since Saturday. 'lite business on the Corn lit:change has been that of a fair average market. Oats ere from 6d. to 9d. dearer, the foreign supply having hen lees this week than lately. Barley and Malt are also about Is. higher ; fine Wheat titels a ready market at last week's prices; and other grain admits generally of the SMIIC observation. It is somewhat strange to see the misrepresentations which have been triode on the circumstances arising out of' M. 111. NT A ro's order for effecting the insurance on the specie, and that in a Journal whose means of information are sup posed to be of the highest character. In the first place, it was salt! that the insurance was opened on the Tuesday, when such was not the fact ; it did not take place till the IVetincolay : and to-day it has gravely assured the public thot-orr &overdo/ the-policy of insarancewssulfrred to the Allianee Company. but that an objection was made by them to taking it, and that, therefore, the proceeding with it was stoned. Now, this is wholly a misrepresentation. The policy was not tendered to the Alliance on 8 motley, and, therefore, they could not refuse it.. The question was, indeed, pot, as .to haw much they would take, and upon what teems? and the answer, so far from being a r e fusal, was in the affirmative, that they would take 30,000/.; to-day they have taken it, and the policy is lances:ding to completion. 'Fite pt.:4k are t hen told that there is to be a new Mexican Loan; and it mar be asked, with much humility, what is the object of this announcement? Well-informed persens 'in the City, though, perhaps, not the best, arc wholly unapprized of such a ciremnsmcce being in contemplation ; but it would seem that when it is no longer passible to question the payment of .7 evident's, in consequence of the rank anti character of the poisons in posser , ion of the Agency, then the public arc to be intimidated by :he threat hell out of a Near Loan : and all ibis; is done to put the public on flair guard ! If the pullic is to depend on such a source for the light t,) guide it, it. at least should he the light of 'tenth, anal not such mistatemerrts as those which have lately appeared. It would be highly improper to impute an unworthy mo:ke to any one in the absence of proof: but prsoirt should i,r aware that, in guarding the unwary to avast h. - ylls, th v do not wreck them on Charybdis. Um! r the strong tt . ,citemetit that has existed, and from the harsh manner it. which the conduct of M. lit itratm has been commented upon, it certainly is necessary that, when parties are canvassing the veracity of one man, they . should at least be secure as to,tbeir own. s ,ITISH PRESS. WAR WITH' RUSSIA. HANSI:MOH, OCT. 12. To-day we have received the official news that Russia declared war against Persia on the 28th of last month. The Manifesto fills several pages• At the same time we have received the following accounts, dated the 7th September, of victories gained by the Itusaians on the frontiers of Persia : Majoe.General Prince Madatow attacked the Persians on the 2d September, who occupied a strong position on the right bank of the river Chamhora. The enemy had 2,000 regular Infantry, eight pietas of cannon, twenty falconets, carried by camels, and 1;,000 cavalry. Mehmed Mires, sun of Prince Abbas Mina, and grandson of the Emperor, as well as the Studer of Merchan, brother of the Emperor, and other Persian great men, were at the head of them. The advance of our army was given notice of at a dis tance by the out-posts of the enemy, who were drawn up in order of battle, and awaited our approach. The tire of four Persian cannon, accompanieerby musketry, was pretty violent. But some artillery placed in a battery on our side soon silenced the guns of the enemy-- Our artillery was especially directed against the enemy's cavalry, which soon followed tke example oldie Caw• mender Mehmed Mires, who sought safety in flight. The Persian infantry were thus deprived of its support, and our cavalry, con sisting of 800 Cossacks, the Georgian militia, and some Tartars from the district of Karasch, pursued the fugitives briskly, and cut off their retriat. Terror and confusion seized the Persians ; they made but a faint resistance, and were pursued for ten wersts. Tii.enLmy lost in this engagement two cannons, and above 1,000 men were left on the field of battle. We took one cannon, eleven falcorets, and several powder waggons. After these advantages, Major-General Prince Madatow advanced to Elizabethpol, which he teok without Opposition on the 4th of September; but though this advance after lite liot*y at Chamhora was made with incr.?. d.ble rapidity, 1,5100 Persian infantry, who were in the citadel, succeeded in leaving it before our troops arrived. The enemy not only d:d nit halt under the walls of the city, but were even seen t fly in the greatest disorder on the other bank of the :eryva be. yond EUz ibetlipol. Our cavalry, which advanced 20 worsts, did trot meet with a single Persian. At Elizabethpol, we took f the enemy's camp, with large magazines of provisions, In the ei:adel we found great quantities of flour, powder, and lend. General Yermoloff adds to these accounts, that Maltometans and Armenians had already arrived from Karabasch, who aflirm, that since the appearance of the Russian troops, the inhabitants of those parts were become sensible of their treason, and are ready to atone fir it by immediate aubmiasion. On this intelligence General Ye m. I tff ordered the Adjutant-General Paskewitch to cfi;•ct, a. soon as pcssible, his junction with Mejor-General Prince Madatow, and to match to Karabasch." fiAmurnou, OCT. 13. The Russian Declaration of War against Persia is as tollown :, " The. doubts which Russia entertained respecting the nature of a sudden and unjust attack are now removed. For a whole month Russia was willing to consider it as impossible that the Sore. reign of Persia, in a time of profound peace, and in the midst of an amicable negotiation, should, without any ground of serious dfference—nay, even without a pretext for complaint, and without any previous tleclarstion—have ordered his troops to invade the Russian territory, and at the same time to make it the theatre of insurrection and war. This opinion, however natural, wan a mistake. It is not one of the barbarous tribes, dwelling on our frontiers, that has unexpectedly invaded them, as Russia, in its moderation and good with, supposed ; no, it is the Persian army itself that has snicked our posts, and advanced towards the in terior of our frontier provinces. or is it a restless Chief, who, in spite of the command of the Sehah, leads them on ; it is Lis own sun. the presumptive heir of his throne, that directs this insiisMi, and accompanies it with itsitations to revolt. Compelled to oppose force to force, and war to oar. Russia would consider it as a LlLty to refute, in the presence of Europe, the accusations upon which Pasta founded the necessity of these extraordinary measure., if it were acquainted with the grievances of that State, or could even divine them. But though Russia is ignorant of the object and the causes of the contest, which must be now decided by arms, it will, however, confining itself to a sketch of its relations to the Govern ment by which it is attached, show whether it had reason to ex pect such a breach of steatite, and of all the principle!, of the law of titions. " At the time what, memorahle.trhuesphe crowned that noble al liance which saved the Attropean continent, and gave peace to the world, it had pleased Divine Providence to bless the eti . zrts cf (Ins ide in its contest with Perils. Several Persian provinces were con quered by the Russ en armies, and as, in consequence of their vic tories, Persia had sacked peace, u convention between the two Powers was signed at Gulietan, on the Itlth Oct. IJI3. It stipulated, on the principle of the stains quo u.l prt stilton. the state of the possessions of both parties, an I imposed upon Russia only het) eseentiel obligetions towards the Court of Teheran, viz. to recog- Mee as the lawful heir to the Persian Throne that son of the Schell whom be should hitnaelf appoint as his heir; and, in concert wi It Persian Commissioners, to settle the new demarcation of the fron tiers, whirls were assigned by the treaty ;of Gulistan to the pro vinces which were annexed to the Russian empire. The tirst of these obligations was most punctually performed by Russia; and as met as the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh learned that Feth-Aly had designated his son Abbas 3lhza for his successor, he hastened to recognise his rights as presumptive heir, with which his father's decision invested him. The seeend has given rise to some difficul ties, and the principal was not yet removed when Russia had the misfdrune to lose the great Prince who had carried to so high a pitch its prosperity anel:ite glory. :licentiate the negotiations which related to the more important difficulties !me continued proofs cf the moderetion and frankness which chareeterized the policy of the Emperor Alexander. in conformity with his orders, the system of peace, friendship, end reciprocal goodwill, which his Cabinet ob served towards ell foreign Powers, should be also extended to his relations with Persia. These orders prescribed to his Ambassadors and agents at the Court of Teheran the mode of conduct which )as best calculated to convince the Schuh, his heir, and his 31iitis term, that Russia had co thought whatever of conquest—that it wished only for repose, and required nothing but tire execution of the treaties. They enjoined all the Russian authorities to observe the most conciliatory conduct and mensuees, which could never tend to give to Persia just grounds foe suspicion or complaint.— Lastly, itt the difference witch had 111 4 SCII between the two States, because Perais,aftor the cessation of hostilities , had occupied a tract of country between the rivers of Tachuw and Kapanakushay, which, by the treaty of Golistan, was expressly assigned to Russia; and be. cause, on the other hand, Russia had placed posts on a strip of country which divides to the north.west the watitrs of Lake Gok thscha from the mountains that run Borg it. The Emperor Alex ander, for from disputing the rights of Persia on this point, r•gnired no more. fir giving it up than that the district belonging to hint should be given up at the same time; or lie proposed to exchange this rich and latrikiria far that bank of 411044411it'sellib.ir4ric4riserf4 far leas importance, and whose dry and poor soil offereal no contren. ration but the vicinity of Cie A project of demareatien. con. fortnable to these provi•als. was presented to the Persian Court. After long discussion's, in which, however, nothing unpleasant in tervened, the two varies appeartil to be coming to an understand ing, in Mirth, 1325; and when God called the Entpetor Alexander to himself, every thing seemed to indicate that this amicable ditcus- Sion was drawing to a conclusion. " The Emperor Nicholas, is tenting the principles of :us au Ivo predecessor, hastened to tread in his Ciotsteps. In the mot th of Jamul lie confided to 31ajor-Oeneral Prince Ileneikott an extra ordinary mission to Penis. He commissioned him to anocaoce to t':e Smelt and to Prince Abbas Mire, his accessioo to the tlrme sod, to this end, arlil:essed autograph 'ewes to them, the friendly expre , sion of which only announced the desire to see the existing treaties observed, and pescc consolidated. The full powers of Prince Menriliofr even authorized him to cowhide an agreement respecting the only point which delved the demote:Our. of the frontiers, to rosew the above.mentioned proposal for a charge. or, in order to consult still none the interest of Persia, and to place the views of Russia in their true Hells, to acid to the points alr,ady occupied by the Pentane a part of the tlistt let of Talyschyre. Ile was further instructed 'to convince the Seiiala and the Hereditary Prince of the uprightness of the views of his Imperial Illajesty—to show them power combined with justice and moderation—to prove io them that it wee the common interest of both empireslo strengthen the ties of peace between them —to destroy' all their suspicions --and lastly, to convince them that the Emperor Nicholas desired nothing more than the accurate and scrupulous observance of the treaty of Willman' Thin in the mission to abich Penis his answered with war. The principal events that followed are well known. Prince Menzikoff, arriving on the frontiers of Persia, was received with great respect ; at Tam's, Abbas Mitz:t loaded him with honours and the-most friendly assurances. Ile was soon in vited :e the camp of Sultania, to execute the mission of the Emperor to the &bah. At the same moment a sudden movement beg's( in Persia. Abbas Mina, anticipating the Ambassador of his Imperial Majesty, repairs in the greatest haste to Suhania the Persian troops advance to our frontiers; the posts sta tioned there are attacked and compelled to retreat ; the Russian territory is occupied. The Emperor Nicholas. being informed of theme hostilities, was at lint disposed to flambe them only to the disobedience of some Persian Commander, who had disregarded the intentions of his Sovereign, and be demanded nothing more than the immediate removal and exemplary punishment of the Surdar of Erivan, whom he considered to be the first aggressor. But when his orders arrived in Georgia, it was no longer possible to execute them, aril the affair was decided. Abbas Mirza, having returned from the camp of Stilton's, took in person the command of tile Persian forces. fie has already occupied a part elf the province of Karabasch, belonging to Russia.,* Ile has excited rebellion there. Alia emissaries encourage the Mahomean subjeets of his Majesty in the fiontier provinces to revolt. The Proclamations announce a religious war. " Such prneeeilinirt cancnt remain unpunished. Russia declares war against Persia. It declares that as the Treaty of Gulistasi is broken, it will not lay down its nrms till It hat obtair.e.l wilcintees for perfect security for the future, and a just intletnnity, by al ho nourable and solid pence.

The result of such affairs with the Persians is generally the lons of a few heads and cm:coat:tong the unlucky counsellors." The following ie an extract of a letter, dated Smyrna, sth Sept. 1826 :—" 1 have just time to add that the Count Harcourt, who had been sent out by the French Greek Committee to obtain actual information of the present state of things in Greece, is now in this place inco4. Ile ar rived here a day or two ago. The Greeks, with 4.000 of what are called disciplined troops, under Col. Fabvier, and a good many French officers, have been attacked in the plains of Athens, by a Turkish corps. Fabvier did won ders, and so did the French officers, but they could not get the Greeks to fight. The whole corps of them was anni hilated, and Fabvier escaped, unwounded even, to Napoli di Romania, but all the French officers were either killed or woinelid, and the:e are now fifteen of them on board the French Admiral's ship, badly wounded, at Vourla, in this bay. Gourra remained in the citadel of Athens, and did not seem to care to venture out. The Capitan Pacha was seen two days ago at Fogia (at the bottom of this Gulf), where 1w was obliged 'to put in to atop a leak in his ship; part of his fleet was there, and part at Mitylene." Extract from a letter from Brussels, dated October 10: —" This morning, at ten o'clock, the coffin containing the mortal remains of the celebrated French painter David I was carried, with due solemnity, from the Cathedral, where, since hie death, it had been deposited, to the I hurylnvlround, out of the gate of Louvain.

Among them was re marked M. Siapleaux, one of his most eminent scholars, and who bids fair for fame, as an historical painter. Five c etelses with mourners followed. The spectators were not numerous. The cause of the long delay of this final burial is. that a monument has been erected on the cemetery, with permission of his Mejesty, the construction of which is but just completed. The King will arrive bare in the coarse of this Hai Majesty the Queen will be here in a few days Later, as she is expected to-day at Am , steolam." A actions alarm tras excited a few nights ago in Cowan street, Stiriing, occastirmrd by the absence of three very young children from the paternal roof for route hours after the gloaming.

Hav ing gone and procured a light, slig returned with some others, who, proceeding (net without feat) to explore the mystery, were saluted with a sonorous and ep-drawn snore, somewhat different from the monotonous grunt which Saunders was in the habit of sending forth, which amazed them exceedingly; they, however, upon again re covering their courage, cautiously approached to the mys terious spot—when. lo ! they discovered the three rei-e -godoes most lovingly locket)in the close embrace of the said how, and all four fag asleep.

About six o'clock between thirty and forty of tho.;.e men who have devoted the prime and vigour of life to the service of their cowary sat down to enjoy the recial recollections of their hazar dous and eventful lives. Colonel Aternetbie reek the chair, and had Major Bunee for his Vice-President. These officers, with Captain Leach, of the Ordinary. were among those who shared the hard-earned laurels of the day. The dinner being over, and the royal toasts disposed of in the usual order, Captain Rogers rose, and in a short complimentary speech proposed the " Heroes of the memorable day," which was drank with loud cheers, and followed by " Hearts of Oak" from the Royal Marine Band. The above-named officers, who perhaps have seen as great a variety of'service as any officers of their highly distinguish. d corps, returned thanita. The evening was enlivened by vec.ll and instrumental music of the choicest description, and the party, having closed the day in great harmony, broke up about midnight. Braes.—ln the manse of Wiston, at the head of Lanark shire, there exists at the present moment a remarkable cu riosity, which all enthusiasts in the natural history of these singular insects will of tourse lose no time in inspecting. A window having been closed up by a beard on the out the apace between that and rh glais was taken pos session of, at an early . period of the season, by a swarm that found admission t h rough an accidental chink near the top. From that point they have depended a large comb, filling the whole space, except ahem an inch on the glass side ; the cells of the comb being ail horizontal, and many ranges of them bt ing incomplete on the side next the glass, a person stationed in the room can leisurely observe the bees at work both upon the wax and the honey. From the well-known disinclinrtion of this strong community to have their works overlook J& such an oppartunity has per haps never before occurred of witnessing their labours. Before tht production of Dr. Galtismith's Tangh.blo eometly of She Stoops to Carrier, at Covent-garden therre, the stage had for some time beeW usurpttl by what th au thors called sentimental comedies, which Were, Dull pro.ing sermons, Ofl;Troreaelt'd io acts." The Doctor, on rea tin; his comedy in the rem-sown to the actors who he intend d should form the drumtt li perisonm, was astonished- at flit! gray.! -faces of the per formers, who entreated hint in withdraw it, as the Ace, if produced, wotdd certainly ha damned.

The great success of the cometly;to which in some measure their actin:: contrilratetl, ra i sed them at once to the top of their prufe!sion as comedians. and little Quick soon became a great favourite of his late Majesty, who annually rent him a purse of 10 guineas on his benefit night. The cause of Lee Lewis's first becoming an actor rens a singular ! one • he was previously one of the letter-carricra of the Ge neral Post-office, and passing one fine morning through St. Paul's Churchyard with a person in the same employment. with their bags of letters under their arms, Lee Lewis pre posed to his companion that they should ascend to the gal lery round the dome of the church, and take a bird's-eye view of the metropolis. This w'ts agreed to, and when here, the eccentric Lee Lewis offered a bet of a shillirg betel of nun and inn that he could throw his bag of letters further it:to the Churchyard than his tympanic!' cool!). The warner was :teemed. and the latter collecting all strength threw his bog, which fell on the steps leading to tl . e portico.
