THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers ) Dee. 11. [THE TIMES.] We have received letters from Demerara of the IBth October, which are chiefly remarkable from their conveying the impression that the so much-talked-of insurrection in that colony has been little more then a riot. It seems clear, at all events, that it had no extensive ramifications. It was Ftated, that at the commencement of the affair by the Guiana Chronicle, that Mr. A. Simpson had been the first to convey information of a tumultuary spirit among the Negroes of some particular plantations to Dr. M'Turk, their burgher officer,' and next to have communicated it to the Lieutenant-Governor: This turns out not to be true. Dr. M'Turk called on the Guiana Chronicle to contradict its assertion, and a promise was given by the printer and publisher that he would do so. No contradiction, how ever, appeared ; and in consequence a new paper has been set on foot, called the Colonist. — It contains Dr. M'Turk's letter, in which he states that he had received timely notice, the pro gress of the riotous feeling might have been arrested at once. The trial of Smith, the missionary, had commenced. It is thought singular that he is tried by a court-martial of officers of the army only, not including any colonist ; but at the same time the Judge-Advocate appointed to preside is the Dutch Fiscal Ileyliger, and the charges are so framed as to state his offence to be one against the (Dutch) laws of the colony. The President of the Court of Justice, having previously sat on the trials of the Negroes, in which the question of the revolt and rebellion or mere riot must have been the leading question, was, in the case of the missionary, put hors du combat. [MORNINU A sort of side-wind attempt has been made to cry down the motion which is to be brought for ward in the Common Council of the City of Lon don this day, for leave to erect a monument to the memery of Mew). We are told it would be better to give the money which such an under taking would require, to his surviving relations. 'We trust that British benevolence will be ex tended liberally to all the unfortunate sufferers from the restoration of tyranny in Spain ; but why should the proposed honour to Riego inter fere with this ? In a great and rich country like this, it must be the want of will,and not the want of ability, that prevents the collection of enough for both purposes. They are quite distinct from each other. The one is strictly charitable ; and all who are not utterly devoid of humanity, ought to en deavour to promote it according to their means, -whatever their principles ; the other has for ob ject to embody, in a most striking manner, devo tion to the cause of Liberty, and detestation of ryranny, at a time when the success of the latter renders an unequivocal manifestation of principle peculiarly necessary. No name has such claims on the gratitude of all lovers of liberty as Riego —no name recalls at mice such exalted devotion to a noble cause, and such a signal violation or justice on the part of its enemies. The fate of Riego is a bitter reproach to the Sovereigns of Europe, who meanly sought the blood of him whose only fault was leniency to guilt on a Throne; and there is not one of those who are chargeable with his death but will feel a pungent mortili. cation on learning that a monument to keep their crime in perpetual remembrance has been erected. It is the height of meanness in such a case to calculate on a few pounds. The man who is in fluenced by a feeling of regard for his pelf on such an o;:casioo, is a slave in his heart . Eng land is the only country in Europe where such an honour can be paid : and shall we refuse to avail ourselves of this distinction ? Shall the Common Council of the City of London meanly shrink from its duty, because it, would not be agreeable in high places ? Their refusal to do their duty would be placed to a lei honourable cause than charity to Spanish sufferers. [NEW TIMES,] The Expresses from Paris, bringing intelli gence of an advance in the French Itentes on Monday, produced yesterday morning the imme diate udvance on Consols from 8.5-1. to 85g.— Spanish Bonds in that Capital had not, however, experienced any improvement, nor were they likely, if the reported arrival of Mr. Parish should prove correct : it is added that this Gen tletam was even refused an audience by the King of Spain, and strongly was his Majesty de termined to adhere to his resolution upon the subject of the recognition or these Loans. We have some reason to doubt whether Mr. Parish has actually returned from his mission, althqugh it is asserted with great confidence. It is quite idle to suppose that the recognition of the former Loans would be made a condition sine quo non of concluding another. Such an arrangement Might be very desirable in more views than one; but It cannot be indispensable. Report states that the Revolutionary Faction has excited some serious disturbances at Barcelona. If so, it is deeply to be regretted ; for the individuals who suffered from the sanguinary cruelties of the Constitutionalists when in power, will be but too glad of an excuse for wreaking vengeance on them for any new treason. The Madrid Gazette exhibits no symptom of alarm on the part of the Spanish Government, but speaks most positively of the King's resolution never to recognise the Loans of the Cortes. Spanish Bonds in conse queuce continue very heavy in our Market, clos ing yesterday at.WI. DIORNINO Pon.] French Papers to the 9th inst. and the Eioik of Tuesday, arrived last night by express. The intelligence which they contain possesses neither interest nor importance. The little agitation produced in the capital by the return of the Duke of Angouleme had subsided so fast, not. withstanding the efforts made at all the , Theatres to keep up, or rather to create, popular enthu. siastn by " pieces of circumstance," that even those pieces were no longer played. They did not survive the day of his entry, and thus afforded a fresh proof of the little sym pathy which existed between the Orator in an un just cause and the general feelings of the people. It would appear from a short article in the Mo niteur that a fresh stand was making by the Ultras to resist the diplomatic exile of the Duke of Belluno. The previous accounts stated him to have yielded to a second invitation from the King, and accepted the honour of representing his Majesty at Vienna. It was added that he was preparing for his departure, which would immediately take place. Instead of setting off, however, as it was anticipated, he has returned to spend a few days at his estate at Menars. His appointment to the embassy is still mentioned as being unracalled, but his second retirement to the country seems to imply that the arrange- . ment made has not proved sufficiently satis factory to put an end to his hesitation. Some thing like indecision seems also to reveal itself in the conduct of Ministers. 44 The Ordinance for' dissolving the Chamber," justly observes the Qnotidienne, 64 is always announced but con stantly deferred. The list of Presidents for the Electoral Colleges is slowly formed. Each name is examined, weighed, set aside, re-consi dered, and then marked out for ever, or else de finitely inscribed. With respect to the Septen nial plan, it Is suffered to sleep. The next Chamber, however, will bring it out again : but in the interim our Ministers rush from fete to fete ; every day some new ceremony claims their presence ; visits, dinners, compliments to make or to receive—really the life of a Statesman is be come unbearable !" To find such a Paper as the Quotidienne slily turning into ridicule the triumphal pomp lately got up by the Ministers, is a phenomenon which the inconsistences of party spirit can alone explain. [BRITISH ?REIS.] Paris Papers to Tuesday reached our office yesterday. The long-announced Decree of Am nest by Ferdinand is, it appears, to be promul gated on the young Queen's birth-day. Then, the Eloile states, is to appear the great act which is to pass an amnesty overall (ainnestier tout.) But this act of professed oblivion will be in fact only a new proscription, loaded with exceptions; it is, by a species of jesuitical sophistry worthy of the Monk who prt , pared it, filled with numerous exceptions. It pardons only " all," in the words of the Etoi " that, in a fatal revolution, has " been the result of weakness ) influence, error, and example ; all that has stopped in its ca " reer ; all that a real repentance has been able " to extenuate ; all that an actual return to the 46 right path has been able to repair." Here are the fine-drawn distinctions of the confessional monk—the different political cases of conscience, set down and solved at once, with the perspi cuity of the celebraten casuist Sanchez. Saes has been accustomed to separate mortal sins from venial, and those of transgression from such as were only intended ; and to allot the propor tional penance us an expiation to each ; and this decree is drawn up on the same conscientious principles as be acted on in the Confessional. —The first project proposed in the Coun cil by the sanguinary Monk is said to have been one of complete proscription. Its leading articles were framed to drag to trial all persons who held any office under the Constitution, and remove to the distance of 30 leagues from Madrid all who professed constitutional sentiments. — The vile project is said to have been opposed by the Minister of Justice ; and even Ferdinand, it is added, " albeit unused to the melting mood," declared it too rigorous, and it lay over in conse quence for future discussion. The Official Gazette of Madrid copied into its number of Dec .2, a literal translation of the letter addressed to the Paris Papers, some time since, on the subject of a New Loan, by Guebhard. The Gazette de Madrid observes, " that Guebhard's declaration must " completely dissipate all allusion on the subject cc of the Loans of the Cortes." " Never (this " Paper adds), as the letter of the banker says, 44 will the Royal Government repay the money " leat to the gaolers of Ferdinand VII. and the 44 oppressors of his people." It is now quite clear that nothing but absolute destitution, and he utter inability to raise any new loan without he recognition, will ever induce Ferdinand, or he crew by whom he is surrounded, to recognise he loans under the Constitution. EMORNING HERALD.] A Paris Paper, which reached town yester day, contains an extract from the official Journal of Madrid, distinctly stating that the present Government of Spain has fully determined not to recognize the loan, contracted by the Constitu tional Government. If some statements respect. big the financial condition of Spain, now lying be fore us, be correct, this piece of intelligence, even if clothed with entire authenticity, could hardly cause any very great sensation. Of what avail the recognition, in mere words, of a loan, if there be no funds wherewith to pay one real of the interest ? What difference between the re cognition and non-recognition of the Spanish loan, if such be the condition of the Spanish Go. vernment. The account to which we refer, set forth the Public Debt of Spain at fourteen milliards of reals—the half of which, or there abouts, is described as not bearing interest... — The annual expenditure of absolute necessity is 1,2042,327,6134 reels.--Now, since the half of the tithes, which the Cortes had detached from the revenues of the clergy, and applied to the payment of the interest of the public debt, has now been restored, the receipts are brought down to, only 300 millions—and the interest of the con solidated debt alone consumes the whole of the re venues of the State.—And again, from the above data, it follows that if the Spanish GovernMent be came downright brankrupt, still the public income would be 400 millions short of the wants of the State. It surely should excite no surprise that the Minister-Confessor Sam declines pledging either his credit or his conscience by acknowledg , ing a loan, for meeting which he is not alone utterly, but ludicrously unprovided. The same state of things in Spain, also removes any sur prise that might have been felt at the squeam. ishuess—indeed, the indignation with which the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange lately re ceived the proposition for a new Spanish Loan for the 44 absolute King." It fully accounts for the " liberal" horror with which they scouted it from the market. But there is a matter of won der, which is, that the actual Spanish Govern ment, so utterly lost in credit and resources, and so overwhelmed in debt, should still expect to find any parties simple enough to cautract a new loan with it. It is difficult to conceive how, under these circumstances, such a Government as that of King Ferdinand can go on at all. It is pretty well known that no Government can go on with out money, and in no inconsiderable quantity, but least of all, a despotic Government. Des potism is a luxury, and, like other luxuries, cannot be enjoyed but a great expence. For this, Fer dinand seems, as we have shown, very ill-pro vided. One of the main causes of the revolution in 1820 was the general stoppage of pay ment to the army, navy, and civil servants of the Government. At present, these are not only not paid, but proscribed. There is little doubt that the soldiers of Morillo and Ballasteros, and those that betrayed their duty at Cadiz, expected pay and favour upon the downfal of the Constitution. They are woe fully disappointed, and it is to this that the dis orders in the provinces, as well as the quar rels between the Spaniards and French at Ma. drid and Cadiz, may be attributed. The ex tent of the disorder and alarm at Madrid, may be judged from the fact, that the French Ge neral Bourmont has ordered all the Spanish troops to quit Madrid. Some of the French Journals intimate, that the destitution of the Spanish treasury is one of the chief motives for attempting, or at least threatening, the reconquest of America. But such a project without money is treated as an extravagance. Even if the Spanish Government had money, it is said that soldiers could not be found in Spain for the enterprize. THE ROYAL NAVY. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 10.—Arrived his Majesty's ship Pandora, Captain Gordon, from Newfoundland, after an ex, tremely boisterous passage of twelve dare. It appears that the Pandora experienced a succession of very heavy gales of wind' from the day of her leaving St. John's until her entrance into the Channel, with a tremendous high sea ; but, fortunately, sustained no material damage, with the exception of having her bowsprit badly sprung, which was struck by a sea when lying to, and the loss of her quarter boats. The Pandora arrived at Halifax on the 3d ult., when she went from St. John's for the October mail ; the Salisbury, Rear-Admiral Fahie. Dotterell and Argus, had sailed on the preceding day for Bermuda ; the Rifleman, Captain Montagu, arrived there on the 7th, to relieve the Sparrowhawk, Hon. Captain Dundas, ordered home. The Athol, Capt. Boucher, was the only ship of war remaining at Halifax when the Pan dorai left it on the 13th, the mail not hav ing arrived. The following is an extract of a letter received from an Officer of his Majesty's ship Owen Glendower ,(via Isle of Ascension) dated Cape Coast, Sept. 5.—" I very much regret to say, that our excellent Commodore, who had been rather ill two days previous to Wednesday the 3d instant, was that morning seized with an npnplectlo fit, and expired yea terday morning about six o'clock : he did not utter more than half-a-dozen words after he was 'cited, and those were about his dear children s he was not ill quite 40 hours. lie was bu ried at Cape Coast this morning, at eight o'clock.—No other ' Captain being in company, Lieut. Prlngle Stokes read - Commission, as Captain.--Captain Percy Grace, of the Cy. rene, is the senior Commander on the Coast, and, consequent. ly, will assume the Post rank, command of this ship, and of the Coast.—The Bann is expected to be sent with tiispatehes to England." Letters have been received here from his Majesty's ship Bra zen, Capt. Willem, dated Sept. 13 , which state, that that ship had dropped down the River Plate, from Buenos A yres to Monte Video, to awatt the arrival of Sir Thomas Hardy ; a misunderstanding having arisen between the Authorities of Buenos Ayres and Captain Willes, in consequence of a abutted into being fired on one of the Brazen's boats; as she was proceed ing to board a merchant vessel which was entering the River.— Captain Wines conceived that this premeditated act wes an insult to the British flak Letters from Port Royal (Jamaica), dated October 11, state that the Tyne, 24, Captain Roberts, hail sailed for Vera Cruz and England. Commissioners front Peru, for Great Britain, had arrived at Port Royal, viz. Don J. D. Verona and J. B. Castells, and three other gentlemen. The Carnation, Captain Stopforti, sailed on the 10th October, with the homeward bound and North American trade, though the Gulph Stream ; the Scout, Capt. Wigston, for Carthagena and Barbadoes ; Bustard, Capt. Thos. M4Lean, for Honduras and Omoa ; Gre clan, Lieut. Cawley, for Campeachy and Vera Cruz ; Valorous, Capt. James Murray, for Trinidad. The Helicon, Capt. Daw kins, had arrived from Barbieloem, and sailed for Cuba. The Gloucester, Hyperion, anti Pyramus, were lying at Port Royal. Lately died, Lieut. Thos. Marriott, of the Union schooner, anti Lieut. E. Stephenson, of the Hyperion. His Majesty's brigs, which have been lately appointed by the Lords of the Admiralty to the Falmouth Packet Service, to convey the mails from thence to the different Foreign ports, are also designed to carry passengers, and for that purpose are fitted up with much elegance and every accommodation and comfort requisite for a long voyage. The Frolic, Lieut. Baron, and the Eclipse, Lieut. Passingliam, are now attached to the Falmouth station, and take their regular turns of duty with the other packets._Lieuts. J. G. Ocxxlinghas commissioned the Cygnet, and Lieut, E. Jennings the Plover, at this port, for the Packet service. It is said, that Rear-Adm. Willoughby Lake, C.B. is likely :0 succeed to the North American command. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—A letter from Copen hagen, of Nov. 18, says—" Doctor and Professor HERBOLDT has lately made known a most ex traordinary pathological case, the certainty of which is established by the testimony of thirty four Physicians, and which happened to a young Jewess of a delicate constitution, but who, up to the age of 14, had always enjoyed good health. In the space of 18 months, after terrible pains, there were extracted from her body, at intervals of several days, weeks, and months, 273 needles. A little time after, a hun dred more issued from a swelling which she had on her shoulder, which took place not without violent pain and accidents which seemed to threaten her with approaching death. They were for the most part sewing needles, not broken with out heads or points, almost all black or rusted.— There were found among them three pins, with the copper jet bright, and a hair pin. In his statement, the doctor describes exactly the places whence the pins were extracted, but he gives no conjecture as to the manner in which they could have entered into the body of this young person. (Journal des DZbale.) A. QUICK RETORT.—A. black footman going the other day down Bond-street, a slang fellow, in the habit of a groom, wishing to play off his wit before his companions, accosted him thus, Well, blackee, when did you see the Devil last ?" Upon which blackee, turning suddenly round, gave him a severe blow, which staggered him, and with it this appropriate and laconic answer, " When-I saw him last he send youllat . —how you like it?" OLD BAILEY. Yesterday Thomas George, aged 19, was indicted for the I murder of Charles Gibson; and John Fawcet for aiding and abetting therein. It appeared that an the 24th of November, the prisoner George and the deceased were at the Bird-cage p ublic-house, in Bethnal-green, witnessing the amusement of jumping in sacks. —One of the sacks belonged to the prisoner Fawcet, who was a baker, and whose servant George was. lie dirpcted George to take care of it i and the deceased who had it in his posses. sion, refused to give it up to him. This occasioned an alter cation, upon which Fawcet said he would back George to fight the deceased for a leg of mutton and trimmings. The offer was accepted, and the time and place fixed upon ; but on the following Saturday evening the parties met again, when deceased proposed that instead of a leg of mutton they should fight for a sovereign aside, and then it would get into the News papers. This being agreed to, the parties met on the following Monday. After fighting for an hour and five minutes, the de ceased received a blow, from which he fell senseless; and was carried in that state to the public-house, where he expired in 20 minutes. Three men, named Samuel Pell, Daniel Martin, and George Webb, who were included in the indictment, but who have absconded, acted as seconds on' the occasion ; Martin in particular took a most conspicuous part in what was going forward. The prisoner Fawcet also acted as a second or bottle holder to George ; and when the deceased's mother called upon him before the fight took place, and implored him to take some steps to prevent it, he replied, that " he would do no such thing; his boy George should fight the d—d young rascal, and he would stake a sovereign in his behalf; he would also, if necessary, get a man to do his work for three weeks." The Jury, without allowing the Recorder to sum up the evi dence, returned a verdict of « Guilty of Manslaughter" against both the prisoners ' • but recommended George to mercy on the ground that he had acted under the influence of his master. The RECORDER immediately ordered the prisoners to be brought up for judgment. With respect to George, he said, the recommendation of the Jury should have its due weight ; it appeared that hs had received a religious education, and expressed great contrition for what he had done, to which he had been instigated by a parcel of brutes about him. — He could not, however, expect to get off without some punish ment, and therefore the Court sentenced him to be imprisoned for six weeks in the House of Correction, and there kept to hard labour. The case was very different with respect to Fawcet; for were it not for his having proved himself devoid of every humane and Christian feeling, the young man Gibson would have been alive now, and might have lived to be a useful and respected member of society. A recent Act of Parlia ment left it in the discretion of the Court to punish a person convicted of this offence with transportation for fourteen years. As that Act, however, was but a recent one, the Court would not pronounce that sentence in the present instance; but he (the Recorder) now gave notice, that henceforward, if any person appeared before the Court convicted under similar circumstances, they would certainly put that Act in operation against him. They would make it known that people would not be permitted to be guilty of this disgraceful misconduct for the sake of figuring as heroes in a newspaper. The present was one of many instances of the fatal consequences which had resulted from the infamous conduct of the press in publishing details of these brutal fights. The sentence of the Court upon the prisoner Fawcet was, that he be confined for two years in the House of Correction, and there kept to hard labour. Andrew Conway was indicted for wilfully and maliciously cutting Margaret King, with intent to do her sonic grievous bodily harm. The prosecutrix was called upon her recog nizances, but did not appear. The RECORDER ordered her recognisances to be estreated. Two witnesses were then examined, who stated that they found the prosecutrix with a wound on her arm, but they could not say by whom it had been inflicted. No other evidence being produced, the Jury found a verdict of Not chatty. Cornelius Lawlor, Stephen Quick, Stephen Couchntan, and Edward Shackcil, were indicted for a libel in the John Bull newspaper upon John William Dunn. The prosecutor was called, and did not answer. In the ab sence of all evidence, therefore, the Jury found a verdict of Acquittal. The London cases being all disposed of at eight o'clock, the Common Serjeant discharged the London Jury. WINTER CIRCUIT. CHELMSFORD, TUESDAY, Mc. 9. .Thdlirc Mr. Justice PARK. Tux ICING v..JOSIZIPII JRII4•OII.Dp This prisoner had been convicted ut the last Hummer Assises, on an indictment charging him on the 3iith c. 15, sec. 2, with breaking and entering a dwelling-house in the day time, no person being therein, and stealing goods to the value of 3s. The evidence against the prisoner was, that he had remained outside the house whilst his companions entered and committed the felony. Mr. Justice Bayley, who tried the prisoner, doubted whether the case, under these circumstances, was within the statute, and after the prisoner was found guilty, re sprved the point for the opinion of the twelve Judges. The prisoner was now put to the bar, and Mr. justice PARK stated, that the Judges, during the last term, had met, and were of opinion that the case came within the 3d William and Mary, c. 9, a. 1,, which took away the benefit of clergy from persons found guilty of aiding and assisting in the commission of an offence within the statute of Elizabeth, and therefore that the prisoner was guilty of a capital offence. Sentence of death was according recorded ; but as the case was not marked by any features of enormity, the Learned Judge informed the prisoner that he would be recommended to Royal mercy. Before Mr. Justice 1101.110 M George Williams and Edward Edward: were indicted for stealing at Loughton, on the 10th of September, a gold watch, value M., a purse, containing a sovereign and other money, the property of J. 31. T. Turner, in his dwelling-house. It appeared in evidence, that the prosecutor was a gentleman farmer at Loughton. On the morning of the 10 of September, after Harlow Bush Fair, his wife had left the property in ques tion on her work-table, with the parlour window open. After being absent from the room about half an hour, she returned and found the property missing. It appeared that the garden gate in front of the house had been opened by aomebtxly, and by that means the property was taken. Information was given to a constable, and it was discovered that four ill-looking fel lows had been seen lurking about the house for sonic time, and had afterwards taken the Loughton coach for London. The coach was hollowed to town by the constable, who came up with it in Cornhill, just as the two prisoners were getting off. They were immediately charged - with the robbery. One of them was seen to take a purse out of his small-clothes pocket, empty it of its contents, which he put into his waistcoat-pocket, and throw the purse away ; and the other threw down a gold watch, which was picked up from the pavement. When be fore the Lord Mayor, the prisoners attempted to get rid of other articles of property, which turned out to belong to the prosecutor. The articles above-mentioned were now identified by the prosecutor. The prisoners strenuously denied their guilt, but called no witnesses. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's direction, found the prisoners Guilty, and judgment of death was recorded against them. Ref Ore Mr. Justice PAUL James Bortland and Charles Hutton were indicted for fe loniously killing and slaying Samuel Lambert, at High Omar,on the 20th of August. The death wax charged in the indict ment to have been occasioned by one mortal wound on the left aide of the body of the deceased. The Jury, under the Learned Judge's directions, found the prisoners guilty, and they were sentenced each to pay a fine of 3s. 4d. Edmund Bush, a young man of respectable appearance, was iudicted for breaking and entering the parish church of Down_ ham, on the 14th of October, and sacrilegiously stealing two silver tassels, silver fringe, two keys, and other articles, the property ,qf the parishioners of Downharn. the Jury found the prisoner Not guilty. . There Is, in the church of Walton on Thames, a curious instrument, presented to the parish, about a century and a half ago, by Es person of some consequence At that time, whose name was Chester. It was intended to be worn as a punishment by the fair sex , who had b een gu i lty of defama. tion. It is of singulaT construction, and when fi xe d one part enters the mouth, whith prevents the possibili ty o f art i culation. It bears this inscription.— " Chester prevents Walton with a bridle. To curb woman's tongues that talk idle." Its presentation. arose from the circumstance of the individual whose name it bears losing a valaable estate through the instru. mentality of a gossiping lyin g, Woman.

T• A more curious sight could hardly be iul h a e • gined. At our entrance, nobody was up. t members of the family held a conversation with our boatmen, but we saw none of them. The floor of the only room they had, and of which we had, taken possession, was covered with straw a n d sedge, according to the custom of the countrpt Christmas, and once a practice, even in King s houses, in England. Peeping from behind their hiding places, as soon as they perceived that strangers bad entered this apartment, they wa rs all stirring; and presently there fell out from ever/ side of the room the naked figures of men, women, boys and girls, who had been piled in tiara one above another, as in a ship's cabin; helng concealed from view by so many sheep-skloir which were suspended as curtains before their cots: This motley group, amounting in all to 13 persons, without a rag to cover them squat ted themselves upon the floor in the middle J the chamber, and began altogether the busin ess of their brief toilette, The women put on Of rt i , pair of woollen hose, and over these a pair 03 greasy boots. The toilette being ended, that all with one accord began to blow their nose' into the palms of their hands, and to wipe the m upon their clothes. Then the men kindled their: tobacco-pipes; and a universal hawking and spitting commenced. Nor were the women till` occupied ; for a large fire being lighted, the fa' males of the family quietly took up their Petri' coats, and sate before it, very leisurely gar' tering their stockings. This being done, a girl now handed round their b rea kf a st; it colloid a l' of, first, a dram to each person, served in a d aa i silver cup : secondly, a po r ti on o f black bisc ui t , with about two ounc e s o f f res h b u tt e r. At t his meal they sate without ceremony or order, el where and with whom h e pl ease d, c h a tting a laughing in groups, apparently contented onr . happy. It was rather new, t o see mothers wit h children at their breasts disengage their tensor infants from the nipple, to pour down their little throats a portion of the dram w hi c h cam e to the mother's share ; but still more remarkable to see these young dram-drinkers lick th e i r lips ) Yet their eyes about, and stretch out their pun , hands, as craving more ; showing how accustom' ed they were to this beverage.
