SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The Tories must have strange ideas of Protestan tism, when they represent its existence as incompatible mith even-handed justice to all classes of his Majesty's subjects. We have higher notions of the Protestant religion than to suppose it unable to exist without something more than justice for its protection. The people of England and Scotland are Protestants, be cause they are firmly convinced that every modification of Protestantism is better than Catholicism ; and though they could wish that the great majority of their irish brethren were equally convinced of the superiority of the religion of free inquiry, they know from experience that penal laws and a partial administration of jus tice cannot effect the conversion. As, however, Ire land and Great Britain, are connected by an incorpo rating union, every sensible Protestant must see that if we wish the connexion to be something more than nominal, the law which declares Catholics and Protes tants equal should be fairly and honestly administered. In what way Protestantism is to be endangered by giv ing to the Catholics motives for being attached to the Government under which they are protected and kindly treated, we are at a loss to conceive. If we may be lieve the Times, however, Sir F. Burdett has rescued the Protestants from impending destruction. " Tlnd hour," says the oracle of Printing-house-square, " at which Sir Francis Burdett delivered his brave and wise declaration of stanch Protestant principle and feeling, was the happiest among the many surpassing felicities that at tended the Westminster election. That the question for Ireland is Protestant or Papist ?' we have long and earnestly represented. That such is the question, viz., whether Popery shall domineer over the realm, or the re formed Church be suffered to exist in peace ? each reflect ing and well-informed politician throughout England and Ireland has, even for years, while sitting by his own fire side, been persuaded. But the alarm bell was never rung before in tones so clear, or with a peal so thrilling. Pro testants have hardly ever yet been so distinctly, so empha tically, or in a voice of command so stern and authori tative, summoned to unite for their common protection. It is the cry of No Popery,' not for aggressive purposes, not for offence to any man, or injury to any, or for the sake of threatening any, but in answer to the exterminating veil of No Protestantism,' No Protestant religion,' No - Protestant Irish people.' " We give the Tories joy of the old apostate, and we suppose his conscience will be lulled for a time by the sickening incense offered to him. But, in sober seriousness, what means this trash ? When the law smote the Catholics, it made them, no doubt, poor and ignorant ; but still they increased and multiplied. And how are the Protestants to be exterminated ? By the law ? It would be strange if a Parliament, composed almost exclusively of Protestants, were to pass penal laws against Protestantism. By fly in4 in the face of the law ? This is pa"ing a poor compliment to Protestants to suppose that they would allow a Catholic minority to exterminate them. conversion ? He must be a poor Protestant indeed who thinks so ill of his religion that he despairs of i.s standing its ground against Popish arouments. 1-1 , ),v the miracle could have been performed, even if L'is second Saint Francis had not thrown his protect w,g,is over Protestantism, we cannot for the soul of u-; conceive. " The cry of No Popery,' not for <ig , z :ressive purposes," has, however, saved the Protes tants from extermination. Not for ao-gressiye our nos.!s T. Oh no ! only making the law of 1829 a dead `ter—only perpetuating the ascendancy of Orange e'en, and all the heart-hurnings whi c h it woti id occa _ s ion—only appointing Orange Judges, and Orange .Magistrates, and Orange Sheriffs, and subjecting Ca t knics to be tried by o:anoe ,Jurors, packed by Orange f'.orporators f. This would be no aggression ; for are the Catholics used to injustice as eels are to be skinned ? We beseech our countrymen to repel the in,nit offered to their understandings by this renegade journal, and by the imbecile old twaddler who has afforded the Tories a temporary triumph. Let not the good feeling which ought to prevail between sub jeers of time same King, members of the same empire, he disturbed by such incendiaries, who make religion a stalking-horse, for vile and corrupt purposes. The 'nen who now cry out Protestantism is in danger, are 1;-.boniing to rein.;tate the Inquisition in all its autho r;tv in Spain. The monster who issued the bloody Durango decree is the object of the idolatry of these pretended Protestant alaraiists. The religion of these incu is their maw.—Morning Chronicle. As the time for the commencement of the newfan gle.l laws of England affecting the registration of and deaths, and the solemnization and registra tion of marriages, draws near, we think ourselves bound to resume the consideration of that most important sn)ject. We have before shown that the provisions ir the registration of births are utterly defective. The parents of a new-born child must give notice of the vent to the registrar, and in case of their death, ilbless, absence, or inability, the next of kin, or (says the Act) " the occupier of the house or tenement where the child is born, must give the notice." And if . they give not su c h no ti ce , t h ere i s no pena l ty . B ut wnat is meant by " the occupier of the house or tene ment where the child is born ?" Why, the parents must be the occupiers of the tenement where the child is born, must they not ? and if they abscond or neglect their duty, what other occupier is to be found ? Probably the enactor's of this notable law meant, the owner or landlord, instead of occupier. But a matter more deserving of notice than the above mere absurdities and inefficiency of the new laws is their injustice. They are meant wholly for the relief of the Dissenters—and would that anything satisfac tory could be invented for that purpose ; but is it fair that the whole nation should thus be taxed for the re. lief of a portion, and that at a time when it is at tempted to withdraw the funds necessary for the main tenance of the mere fabrics of the national Churches? The salaries of the Registrar-General, and of the :said officers, clerks, and servants, and the amount of the sums hereinafter provided to he paid to the super intendent registrar, for every entry of the certified co -uies of the registers, and all expenses of carrying on the business of the general registry, shall be paid out of the consolidated fund of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland." (Clause iv.) These are the words of the Act, and of most unjust and unfair import they are ; for the people of England, the great body of the British nation, will have nothing to do with these complicated registrations. But the man ner in which the sacred rite of marriage is desecrated and degraded in the Act which directs the various forms under which it may be celebrated, almost exceeds credibility, and must, we should think, shock Dissen ters of even the most lax creeds. Mr. Burke, in speaking of the law of the French National Conven tion, by which marriage was declared a mere civil con tract, has these remarks—" All their new institutions (and with them everything is new) strike at the root .of our social nature : other Legislators, knowing that marriage is the origin of all relations, and consequently the first element of all duties, have endeavoured by every art to make it sacred. The Christian religion, by confining it to the pairs, and by rendering that re lation indissoluble, has by these two things done more towards the peace, happiness, settlement, and civiliza tion of the world, than by any other part in this whole creme of Divine wisdom. The direct contrary course has been taken in the synagogue of antichrist—l mean in that forge and manufactory of all evil, the sect which predominated in the Constituent Assembly of 1789. Those monsters employed the same or greater industry to desecrate and degrade that state which other Legis lators have used to render it holy and honourable." `Will it be believed, or is the great body of our country men aware, that in the new Marriage Act of this yet _Protestant and Christian country, about to take effect next July, if God's providence do not obliterate it, there is a provision and form for celebrating marriage as a mere civil contract ; and that that form has as little of solemnity in it as the process by which a man would transfer a horse or mare to a purchaserin an open and proclaimed fair. " Any persons objecting to marry in a registered building may contract and so _lmmnize marriage at the office, and in the presence of h vt superintendent register and two witnesses, using the se words :—I call upon these persons here present ao witness that I A.B. do take thee C.D. to be my lawild wedded wife (or husband)." Clauses 20 and 2.t of the New Marriage Act. The form we believe use !d by Gipsies in the solemnization of the marriage r ite. is somewhat more striking and impressive : a stake i s drawn from the adjoining hedge-row, which the tensor Gipsy present holds at a reasonable height from I the ground before the parties ; another person calls out at the same moment— " Jump rogue 1 follow w-e " Man and wife for evermore." There never was, we believe, any country profess ing Christianity—for France at the time of its now marriage law professed Atheism—there never was any country professing Christianity, or even in a decent state of civilization, the Legislature of which allowed its male and female subjects to unite themselves under the pretence of marriage by so slight a form as that which the present Ministry have provided for the people of this degraded country in the preceding mock ceremonial. On reading the Act, or at least that portion of it, we really ask ourselves where we are ? Are we in honest old England ? Or are we in turmoiled France, at the beginning of its horrible massacres ? And it is the more remarkable that this Act was carried by a House of Comnions in which Papists vrerefirstadmitted, with whom the marriage rite is a sacrament I Yet, men believing that rite to be a sacrament, voted for the ad mission of this law into the statute book of their coun try We have still our doubts, however, of the pos sibility of carrying these Marriage and Registration Acts into operation, for their chief agents, the Regis trars, are to be the Secretaries also of the new Poor Law ; and yet this more savage enactment halts in its march, and may never go on to its completion. It was, however, consistent in these motley legislators of ours—Papists, political Dissenters, and infidels—as they meant ultimately to tear and separate husband and wife from each other in the days of their infirmity and affliction, to take from that rite which originally bound them together every thing of a sacred character, and render the marriage tie at its origin loose and dissoluble.— Times. It has long been manifest to every person at all ac quainted with the state of public opinion or the strength • of parties in Great Britain and Ireland, that there re • mains not a vestige of chance for the Tories ever again to clutch the helm of the State, by the exercise of a ' moral influence on the national sentiment. We, of [ course, mean by moral influence that hold—however fraudulently acquired—on the confidence and coinci dence, however feigned or forced, in the opinion of the people, and that intellectual supremacy by which the councils of free States are usually directed. No one could ever suspect the influence of the Tories to have at any time been moral in the ethical acceptation • of the term. This moral influence, however, has for [ ever departed fie.n the Tories, and though the more judicious and less evil-disposed of the party would endeavour to ward off the day of final retribution, and delay the triumph of popular principles, by doling out tardy concessions on the one hand, and endeavouring to mar the effect of these concessions by the vilest chi canery on the other, yet the more reckless and ruth less are evidently desirous to try the chance of a violent and sanguinary collision. The symptoms of this de sire manifest themselves in accordance with the vary ing indications of the relative strength of parties. When Sir Robert Peel usurped the Government, he, arid almost all the Tories, professed themselves Re ' formers ; but the cheat did not impose on the country, and they were scouted from office midst the strongest expressions of popular indignation and popular deri sion. The more desperate of the faction, foiled in the attempt of imposture, changed their tactics, boldly de nounced ail ameliorations in our political system, and proposed the repeal of die Reform Act. These ma mruvres having served only to exhibit the weakness of the faction, without attaining their object, the cry of " re-action," and the yells of the grand Con servative manifestations" having been proved to be mere " sound and fury, signifying nothing," a favour able opportunity has been waited for, and encouraged by the success of the arch apostate of Westminster, out comes from the leading organ a manifesto to put down the people of Ireland, in whose case the great question of progressive Reform is now being tried, by the " gallows and the sword"—the " No Popery" ciy is revived with most infuriate animosity, and the diabolical atrocity of these acts having no palliation in existing circumstances, is sought to be excused by at tributing to the existing Ministry, the Reformers of England, and the Catholics of Ireland, the design of exterminating Protestantism. Even a war-cry is in vented for them to this effect, and " No Protestan tism " No Protestant religion I" and " No Protes tant Irish people !"—language never heard of but from the incendiary writer who basely coined it for the grounds of malignant accusation—are represented as the watchwords of Reform. When " No Popery !" and the government of the " gallows and sword" is openly advocated under the encouragement of partial victory, snatched from the Reformers in the case of Westminster, what might we not expect if they could establish even the semblance of having the majority of the British constituencies in favour of Tory principles ? This is a question which it behoves all genuine Re formers to ponder on, and thereby stimulate their exer tions to protect the empire from the horrors of a Tory Administration.—Morning Advertiser. The Radical party seem to be wholly incapable of a rational submission to the circumstances of affairs. The leaden, winking eyes of the genius of stupidity (embodied so aptly in the person of Joseph Hume) might be able to perceive that this is not a time for the success of Radical proceedings. Why will these people not look at facts ? Why do they torment the public, and make themselves ridiculous, by representations which have no foundation in 'truth, and arguments which have no sanction from reason ? Why do they go on croaking and scolding about their defeat in West minster, and publishing nonsense about that affair, which only shows how seriously they have been wounded, and with how little manliness they endure the pain ? Surely the gratification which they derive from the ex pression of their spleen is more than balanced by the ridicule which they bring down upon their defeated speculation. One would have thought that their boasting before the battle, compared with their success in it, presented a contrast sufficiently humiliating to make them hold their tongues and their pens on that subject, at all events for a long time to come. But, as they have not courage to win a fight, so they have not fortitude to bear a defeat. Instead of a calm acknowledgment of defeat, and a cheerful exertion to repair their loss, they assail our ears with the vulgar yelp of wounded vanity. Like crushed wasps they thrust forth their stings while writhing in the dust, and in their dying throes display their ineffectual venom. If we may believe their ex post facto. discoveries on the subject of the Westminster election, its result was owin g not to the unpopularity of Popish Radicalism, but to the potency of Tory intimidation. The philo sophy of Leader the candidate, in Covent-garden, was. according to their account, no match for the frowns of the ladies who canvassed in Regent-street and Bond street. The ladies, we are assured on the best Radi cal authority, overthrew Mr. Leader, and patriotism was not proof against the purchase of a gown ? Alas ! the day when, notwithstanding the Reform Bill, the Penny Magazine, Mr. O'Connell's letter, and Mr. Leader's eloquence, the cause of Radicalism in Westmin ster is thus easily overthrown ! We could not have be lieved it upon any other evidence than that of the Ra dicals themselves. But we would again ask these wise and potent undertakers of an entirely new British Con stitution why they are so fond of their own disgrace as to proclaim to all who will listen to their complaints that they have been utterly routed by intimidating ladies ? Can they find no better excuse ? Is it come to this, that, while Mr. Ward, M.P., is ha ranguing in one public-house, and Sir N. Moles worth, M.P., in another—while Joseph Hume is auimating one congregated district by his spirited elo quence, and Mr. Wakley inspiring another by his fiery declamation—the whole effect is counteracted by the intimidating intimations addressed to patriotic tradesmen by Conservative ladies ? If this were the case how strange that nothing should be known of its tremendous effects up to the very night preceding the election. Was there nobody who had thne to run down from Bond• street and Regent-street to acquaint the Committee in Charing-cross that all was lost for the present, because the Lady A., and Mrs. 8., and several others would buy no shawls nor bonnets this season unless Sir Francis Burdett were allowed to win? Had this been done, the Courier might not have ap peared quite so absurd in its confidence, and the Chronicle might the next morning have been judi ciously diffident of success. It would have been much better to have refrained from boasting, on ac count. of the tremendous intimidation of Tory ladies, than to continue boasting to the last, and then, when defeat came, to let out the disastrous truth that the British ladies were so accustomed to imposing chains upon men as to have indulged themselves in throwing shackles upon the Radicals from the ribbon-shops of Regent-street. Away with all this ridiculous false hood. The Radicals are beaten because England is itself again—because the riot of revolutionists is past and gone, and sound old English feeling is again in the ascendant. We tell the Radicals the times have changed, and they have no men among them capable of :stirring up the nation to mutiny against the excellent things which still remain of the British Constitution. No, not though they have the trembling and faltering hands of a weak and worthless Govern ment to aid them—not though they have the as sistance of Irish Popery, and the mass of misguided peasantry whom that superstition alternately stupifies and excites—not though they have an Irish tail to vote with them, and, a mendacious mendicant to brawl within the House of Commons, and flatter without it in their behalf—not even with all these means and appliances can they succeed. The English blood and mettle is wanting among them. Disappointment tuft hunters are not the men to lead in any English cause where the public heart and. mind are to be wrought upon. It is one thing to spout spurious philosophy in a Review, and quite another to lead the sympathies even of an English mob. We have but small respect, God knows, for those who accommodate themselves to mob sympathies for the sake of carrying out a plan of selfishness and of deceit, but still the men who have the ability, the spirit, and the sentiment to lead the direct and downright minds of the English public, even of the lowest class, must be very superior indeed to the puffed-up and perverse witlings who dub themselves the " philosophical Radicals." They ridiculously mistake themselves, and they absurdly miscalculate the temper of the present time. Their folly and their weakness have become apparent, and if a dissolution of Parliament were declared to-morrow we are well satisfied that at least twenty per cent. of those who figured on Mr. Leader's preposterous elec tion Committee of non-electors would be left quite as much at leisure from House of Commons affairs as Mr. Leader himself now is. We would recommend such gentry as Sir W. Molesworth and Mr. Ward to learn some political tunes than those they piped so ineffectually last week in Westminster, unless they would perchance choose to join their friend the late candidate in those deep studies which attendance on Parliament may have too much interrupted. —Morn ing Post. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. An elderly man, named James Harland, who was some years ago a machinist in Fenchurch-street, was brought be fore the LORD MAYOR, charged with having struck a constable a violent blow with a tin tube. The officer stated that the defendant gathered together a crowd near the church in Fenchurch-street, at half-past nine o'clock in the morning, and proceeded to read to them the contents of a large piece of parchment. Witness, anxious that no disturbance should take place, put his hand upon the old gentleman's shoulder, and requested that he would go away. This mild expostulation was, however, received with a very bad grace, for the defendant struck witness on the forehead with the tin case of the parch ment, and the blood immediately followed. Another offi cer interposed, and the defendant made an attempt to give him a " tin topper" likewise, but was prevented and secured. Mr. Harland had been formerly a very wealthy trades man in the neighbourhood, but having been treated with great cruelty, particularly by lawyers, he h a d consi dered it necessary to read the statement of his case from the parchment, which also contained his pedigree, to a few persons who assembled at the church. He would dot have used violence if the officer had not, by seizing him, vio lated the liberty of the subject. The officer who apprehended the defendant said that the sum of 1151. in Bank of England notes, 71. in gold, and a fed shillings, were found in the old gentleman's pocket. It was evident that the defendant, although in possession of his faculties on general topics, started away from them on a particular point, and certainly was not a fit person to have in his possession so large a sum of money. The overseer of St. Dionis Backchurch parish stated that the defendant's wife, who had been separated from him nine years, had been obliged to apply for relief within the last week at the workhouse, and as the parish officers found that he had such a sum of money in his possession they thought he might support the poor woman upon it. Defendant—They say that my wife is in their work house. That I will never believe. The fact is that my wife was some years ago removed from London, but to what place I don't know. If they are able to produce her, why do they not ? Here Mrs. Harland, who appeared to be overwhelmed with affliction, was brought into the roam, and the defendant, when he saw her face, acknowledged that she was his genuine bona fide partner, to whom he bad been married thirty-one years ago, and from whom he never would have been separated had it not been for the calamitous litigation in which the whole family were in volved for the benefit of that honest profession—the law. It was here stated that at the death' of Charles Harland, the brother of the defendant, the family became entitled to a large sum of money, about which all the members of it began to quarrel before the corpse was buried. The consequence •f the fierce contention which took place was the estates being thrust into the Court of Chancery, and, as a matter of course, began to undergo the inevitable pro cess of decay under the active superintendance of the gen tlemen who so cleverly manage pecuniary matters in that establishment. The defendant said it was true the case was in Chancery, but that was neither his fault nor the fault of his relations. By a conspiracy of lawyers and Jews, who seemed to have been born to help each other for the honour and glory of their common parent, the devil, the property was thrown into the above-named Court, and the greatest confusion was the result. He (defendant) had gone off to America, where he remained for some years, and now that he was come back to make another attempt to rescue the estate from the fangs of Chancery, he was apprehended the mo ment he began to adopt measures for the purpose. A gentleman of the legal profession, who was acquainted with the circumstances of the defendant and his family, having been sent for by the Lord Mayor, willingly attended to state some facts on the subject. The case was, he said, a most deplorable one. Mr. Charles Harland, the brother of the defendant, had upon his death left a large sum of money among the family, all of whom had been in very humble circumstances indeed. The money produced the most active spirit of hostility amongst the claimants, and that spirit was aggravated by another sort of spirit which sudden prosperity often causes to flow particularly amongst those who have been obliged to live by the sweat of their brow. At length it was agreed, upon reference to a high mercantile house that the property should be equally divided, and an agreement to that effect was drawn up and signed by all the parties. The agreement, however, afforded matter for further dis agreement, and again the estate was committed to the te dious misery of an equity process. The defendant con trived,,notwithstanding, to get hold of 1,0001. of it, and with that he proceeded to America, of his return from which country nobody knew until the complaint against him had been made at the justice-room. The Loan MAYOR—Whatever may be the case with regard to the property, I cannot let you go without pro curing bail for this violent assault. Defendant—What bail do you require? The Loan MAYOR—Two sureties in 201. each. Defendant—Take 401. of the money you have of mine as a deposit. The LORD MAYOR—I ant not permitted to do that. You must procure two respectable house-keepers to bail you. Defendant—Let me go and get them. You can keep 1001. in security. The LORD MAYOR—The officer will call upon any of your friends. Defendant—Very well. Bless your soul I have as much power as the Emperor of Morocco. They dare not refuse to come. The defendant then, without taking the slightest notice of his wife, retired with the officer, apparently with the in tention of walking quietly to the Compter. The moment, however, he reached th• bottom step, he turned round short and cut away as rapidly as he could with the police at his heels. He was soot, stopped, and then, finding that re sistance or attempt to escape was useless, he ♦ery tranquilly went to his place of destination. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1837. HATTON.GARDEN. Yesterday Jan:;.; Walker, an urchin about nine years of age, was placed at the bar, charged by Mrs. Mary Wil liams, of No. 3, Union -court, Islington, with being found on her premises with intent to commit a felony. The prosecutrix on Tuesday last, about nine o'clock in the morning, had occasion to leave home for a short time, and on her return, and proceeding to the first floor, she heard some one in the apartment, and on opening the door she saw the prisoner getting out of the window, and got upon the ledge, from which he dropped to the pavement at the risk of his life. She instantly pursued him, with the cry of " Stop thief," and he was eventually taken into cus tody by a police constable. The prisoner, a fat, chubby-looking fellow, stood at the bar smiling whilst the prosecutrix was giving her evidence, and behaved himself with great effrontery. Being asked how he procured his livelihood, he answered flippantly, " In the best way I can. My father and mother are both dead." The Magistrate inquired of the officers whether he was known ? An inspector said that the prisoner was one of the most daring young thieves in the neighbourhood of Islington, and lie had been repeatedly in custody on charges of rob bery. He had been convicted at that office, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment ; but he endeavoured to make his escape from the prison. Prisoner (impudently, and giving a side look at the inspec tor)—What! do you mean to swear that? Are you on your oath ? Three constables swore that they had had the prisoner se veral times in custody. He had once escaped from Bride well, where he was sentenced for three months. Prisoner (affecting astonishment)—Well, I never—you'd swear a man's life away but I can't help it. The Magistrate committed him to the House of Correc tion and hard labour for three months. On being handed over to the gaoler he said, with bra vado, " Never mind, it isn't the first time. I suppose I shall meet some of my old pals in limbo." WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Mr. Robert Saddler, late organist of the parish church of Spitalfields, appeared before Mr. BROUGH TON to a summons, charged with putting the Rev. William Stone, the Rector, in terror of his life. A letter was handed to Mr. BROUGHTON by Mr. Brushfield, the church warden, the language of which formed the ground of com plaint, and from which it appeared that the defendant im puted to the Rev. Gentleman that he was the cause of his (the defendant's), at the last election for organist, having lost the election. The letter was couched in very angry and unbecoming terms, and it concluded with these words— " That as the mortal complaint you have must hasten our dissolution I hope it will be the last act of wickedness you can commit." It was addressed to Mr. William Stone, and not to the Rev. Mr. William Stone. The defendant felt the hardship of losing a situation which he had held for fourteen years. The cause why he wrote the letter was, that, when he heard last Saturday of the appointment of a young man to play the new organ, without any premeditation, he determined to communicate his opinion to the Rector ; but after he had sent the letter he would have instantly recalled it. He considered this step the norst he had taken in the course of his life. He had, however, sent another letter in apology for the lan guage he had used, and which he had no doubt that the Rector had in his possession. The second letter was then put into the hands of Mr. Broughton, who also read this, as he did the other. The reverend complainant said that the subject was not in his hands. He had no wish to press the case, and freely forgave the defendant. Mr. BROUGHTON remarked that the complainant had acted in the true spirit of the doctrines he professed, and he hoped the example would have its due effect upon the defendant. The summons was then dismissed. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. ( From the London New Price Current of May 16.)

STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH LONDON.- The General Steam Navigation Company have now effected that long-wished for object—a steam communication between Berwick and London. Their fine steam-ship the City of Edinburgh arrived in the Tweed on Monday night, and re turned to London on Wednesday afternoon. She had a fair complement of passengers and goods, for a start ; and we have no doubt she will be liberally supported, when the advantages of so speedy and certain a mode of conveyance are better known. As the summer advances, we expect to find shoals of tourists availing themselves of this conveyance; for the route by Berwick is decidedly the best, the shortest, and the cheapest, for seeing the beauties of Scotland, starting at the Tweed, on whose banks are Melrose Abbey, Abbotsford, Dryburgh, with other objects of interest and attraction, and proceeding either to the west or to th e nor th, t h ere b e i ng plenty! of coaches in :both directions. The City of Edin burgh's cargo outward included a quantity of sheep and fish, and several tons of dead meat for the London market. In a little time it is probable there will be a considerable exporta tion of all these articles, as well as of cattl e , an d o th er sorts o f agricultural produce.—B erwick Warder. A new work, by the celebrated Washington Irving, entitled " Adventures of Captain Bonneville," has just been published. Strange incidents, striking situations, dangerous encounters, midnight escapes, discoveries of vast regions and of tribes of Indians, whose existence was never suspected, are the chief elements of the narrative. To these may be added the humours of the free trappers in the wilderness—men al- ways ready for a desperate exploit, or for a frolicsome carouse. The scenery of the romance—for, though a true story, Cap tain Bonneville's adventures are steeped in the hues of poetry ....is magnificent; and the reader finds himself now in the midst of vast plains, anon scaling the steep sides of giant moun tains, sometimes bewildered in interminable forests, at others borne along by the torrent of rushing rivers, or beleagured in the savage villages of the Indians. Whatever, indeed, may be the scene, the incidents are everywhere surprising and rapid in their succession, while curious developments of human charac ter and action are no less frequent. A HOLY DAY.—At Northampton, on Holy Thurs day the Clergyman, Churchwardens, and others, of one of the parishes, perambulated the boundaries, and entertained 300 persons on the Race Course with bread and cheese, and ale, filling up the day with scrambling for halfpence, and other holy diversions. At Banbury, the inhabitants, as they have been accustomed to do for ages, held a fair for the transaction of business, which has been regarded as a desecration of the day by a neighbouring Clergyman, who has written to the Mayor on the subject. Now the Clergyman of Shennington and the Clergyman of Northampton had better have a meeting, and explain for the edification of the laity, how a Holy Day is not desecrated by scrambling for halfpence, although it is de secrated by holding a fair.—Northampton Chronicle.
