THE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Nov. 19. [THY PUBLI6 LEDGER.] Letters were, received yesterday from Trieste, dated the 3d instant, which announce the arrival of the Malvina at. that port with Lord Strang ford on board. The intelligence she has brought of the utmost importance, for, besides confirm ing all that had been previously related to the advantage of the Greeks, it swells the amount of their triumphs. The Egyptain squadron has flared, in the strictest sense of the word, the fate of the Turkish ; and it would be difficult to say which of the two has suffered more severely. Both took part in the naval engagement, which took place place on the 7th ult. near Mityline ; but Ibrahim Pacha was not so fortunate as the Captain Pacha, one having, at least, saved his ship and himself, whilst the former has fallen into the, hands of the Greeks, and was at Hydra when the Malvin* passed that island. It is also said, that Ismael Gibraltar has shared the fortunes of his master ; and though the Porte, us well as the Viceroy of Egypt, may construct new fleets, they - will find it difficult to get crews to replace those they have lost. The loss in this respect is, in all probability, irreparable; and it is matter of grave doubt, whether the Turks or Egyptians will be able to face the Greeks again at sea. If they cannot, the situation of both will teem with dif ficulties and perils, as the Greeks will proba bly shut both up hermetically in their own ports; and it is easy to imagine the conse quences of depriving Constantinople of its usual supplies by sea, and blockading Alexandria at the same time. It is probable that the Viceroy of Egypt will try to avert the storm by concession, though he would thus gain only a reprieve, for *ha downfall of the Crescent in all the countries, immediately adjoining the Mediterranean, seems as certain as if fate had spoken the word. When once the Greeks consolidate their independence, and complete their system of liberty, the rays, emitted by their Institutions, will penetrate deeper and deeper into the countries now shroud ed in darkness by the gloom of Turkish super- 1 stition. The progress of this light will be facili tated by the great number of Christians in almost every province of the Ottoman Empire, but more particularly in its maritime dis tricts. These have to a man common in terests with the Greeks, and will make a common cause at last. The restoration of all the countries to the blessings of freedom and knowledge, where once the Greek language was spoken, and the spirit of ancient Greece shed its lofty influence, we may now reckon, without any fear that our anticipations will be disappointed, amongst the wonders of the 19th century. We cannot imagine any event that would afford more general satisfaction, or confer a greater benefit on the world. The natural wealth of these coun tries is proverbial, and it wants only the fostering care of good government to become as produc tive as it had been, when it was quickened by the sun of Grecian liberty. It is said that this brilliant destination is in danger of being retarded by the violent interference of Austria and Russia. We doubt not their in clination, but have great doubts of their abi lity, as the prejudices of one nation offer almost au insurmountable bar, whilst the wishes of the other are paralyzed by its want of maritime power. England, at the same time, would not allow their self-constituted jurisdiction ; and France, with her present liberal councils, would as loth to admit it. But Ito cajolings or threats could wring from the Porte its assent ; and Greece, elated by her triumphs, and Ulu mioed by her free press, would reject with scorn the humiliating proposal. Moreover, the Holy Alliance must think itself fortunate if It can pre serve its present influence instead of pretending to extend it. France has quitted its orbit ; Por tugal is on the point of following the example ; and Spain must, in spite of her infatuated Mo narch, pursue the same course. Thus weakened, and menaced with other desertions, it is very un likely that the Holy Alliance will wantonly create new antipathies by attempting to oppose the Greeks in their struggle for independence. Nottsinvo eon.] French Papers to the 17th inst. and the Mode of Wednesday, reached us last night by Express. The latter contains intelligence from Madrid of as late a date as the 11th of the present month. it is not important, however, and merely consists of fresh Decrees which display as much wisdom and honesty on the part of Ferdinand as usual.— By one of these the Officers of the late Constitu tioual army are to be robbed of their horses, when fit for the service of the cavalry or artil ry, and of all articles of equipment or harness which they may possess, on the ground that " complaints were continually made of their conduct." The real purport of this measure as probably to deprive those Officers of the means of night, after the retirement of the French shall have left them exposed to the unrestrained vengeance of their Monarch. The,other Decrees relate to the mode of instruction to be adopted both in Seminaries and in public. Ecclesiastical discipline is to be re-established in the former, "according to the precepts of the sacred Council of Trent, in the chapter De Reformatione," whilst the basis of a general system of study, calculated to keep in the dark, rather than to enlighten the people, is laid by a third and last Decree. [BRITISH PILESS.] The Paris journalists, on Tuesday, wore elderly occupied with the discussion of the plans for the indemnity of the emigrants and the eve cuation of Spain, as it is called, when the French intend to retain exclusive possession of all the principal fortresses. Some of the papers pretend to give an account of what passed respecting these questions at a Council of State, over which the King presided on Sunday. The' Eloile de nies that anything is in fact known as to the pro ceedings or the Cabinet on that occasion. In deed it is not very likely, that any of the Mi. ssisteers would suffer auy knowledge of their deliberations to transpire, especially through the Opposition Journals. We must wait till the opening of the Chambers for accurate informa tion. Meanwhile we shall have an abundance of projects published, each of which will be repre sented as that which is approved by his Majesty. Ferdinand VII., it appears, is laying down a ge. neral system of instruction to be pursued in the public seminaries. In order that it may be com plete, the new plan is to be printed and submit ted to the consideration of those who are qualified to give in opinion on its merits. These quali fied persons, we presume, are the clergy, whose discipline is to be re-established according to the precepts of the Council of Trent. An expedi tion of 3,000 men is stated to be preparing at Corunna, to sail for America in the course of this month. From the Spanish Treasury the means certainly cannot proceed to fit out even this small armament. The retirement of the French is re garded with exultation by the furious absolutistos, who are crowding round their infatuated Sove reign to urge him to further excesses, against all reason and moderation. The Trappist Marag. non ) the militant Curate Merino, the renegade Bessieres, and other officers of the army of the Faith, arc at the Escurial, and arrests multiply daily. [THE TIMES.] It appears that the Governor of Barbadoes has found it necessary to rebuke the tardiness of the Island Legislature, in effecting (according to the desire of Parliament) a reform of the slave laws. The Barbadoes Assembly are aware, that failing their discharge of this important duty, the Impe rial Parliament stands pledged to undertake it for them. They had better, then, we should suppose, put their own hands to the work, and finish it. There seems, too, the less rational mo tive for delay on the part of this Assembly, be cause the Governor bears honourable evidence to the kindness, lenity, and liberality, with which the slaves as a body are treated, throughout the island, and to the consequent happiness which is diffused among them, If such, then, he the voluntary disposition of the master, and such the practical comfort of the slave, where can be the objection to proclaim by law that which usage has already consecrated ? Sir Hudson Low is said, in the West India Papers, to have re fused the government of Antigua—not, of course, on account of a reduction of the salary. We did not know that Lord C. Somerset, the high and mighty among Hottentots, was so dex terous a politician as recent accounts would make him. It is already notorious that the paper called the " South African Advertiser," which Mr. Greig had conducted, was suppressed some time ago by official authority ; but late ar rivals from the Cape inform us, that the noble Governor, indignant, no doubt, at being accused of putting down the liberty of the press, has en deavoured to swi n g clear of the odious impute (ion, by setting up another newspaper! Such, however, is the distrustful and censorious temper of mankind, that his Lordship has unfortunately failed of his purpose, in so far as character might be concerned. The " satirical rogues " have the malice to allege, that an old Govern ment printer of his Lordship's own choosing has been appointed to direct the mechanical part of the business, and that public money has been ap plied to this constitutional undertaking in support of " the liberty of the press." Then, for the name of the Paper, a precedent was found in the trick of a paltry fellow, who some years since had the impudence to steal a title for his new catchpenny print from that of an eminent London Journal, but whose miserable and well merited fate ought to have been a warning to all swindlers to let their neighbours' goods alone, and their neighbours' fame unscandalized. In this new fraud the words 64 South African" were filched from Mr. Greig's title ; and instead of " Advertiser," 46 Chronicle" was superadded.— " Tans Mercurio quern Marti," says the saga cious manager of our colonial Press.--(lbid.) [MORNING CHRONICLE.] Mercantile letters were received yesterday morning from Bogota, dated on the oth of Sep tember, the contents of which are in every re spect satisfactory to the mercantile interests of Great Britain. Trade throughout the Republic was rapidly improving, occasioned chiefly by the increased circulation of capital. The. Executive was seriously employed in devising means for rendering the revenue productive, without its being in any degree oppressive to the people.— The whole of the salt pans had been taken into the bands of the Government, for so long as they were farmed by individuals, the revenue from them was unproductive, and . the weight of the impost was heavy on the consumers. The Go , vernment was also using the greatest exertions to add to the naval power of the Republic. Two large new frigates, rated at 40, but actually car rying 60 guns, would arr i ve at C art h agena from the United States in the beginning of January next. Two 84-gun ships were also ordered to be purchased, but it is not probable that they can be obtained by purchase. A London private' dock, however, if employed by the Colombian Minister, will, in a few months, build them ships Nina in power to his Britannic Majesty's ship the Superb, of 78 guns, which was launched from a private dock t 6 years ago, and is still one of the best ships of the Class:III his Majesty's navy. Many thousand tons of military and naval stores have, within theSe last six, months, been forwarded from England to Carthageria.— Every, allurement is also held out to European naval officers to lend their services to the fleet of this great Republic. Extensive tracts of land, in addition to the regular navy, will he given to distinguished naval officers ; and 'sorely the Bri tish. Government ought not to object to officers availing themselves of prospects Of' future emi nence, which, should England fortunately remain at peaCe fur a fevi years, they . 'cannot obtain in her service. 'Draw Tues.] The evacuation of Spain by the French troops is a subject which 'continues to occupy much of public attention, and not a little to di v id e public opinion. , There are persons, undoubtedly, who still think that the greater part of the French army is actually on its march at the present moment to retire from Spain ; and a respectable Evening Paper mentions a report that King Ferdinand, far from writing to solicit their continuance, has written to urge their removal. This latter circumstance, even if it has occurred (which we very much doubt), may be no more than a poli tical manoeuvre, carried on with a secret under standing that the request shall be regarded as a mare matter of form. For our own part, we are strongly impressed with the belief that there will be no immediate withdrawal of any consi derable number of troops; and conformable to this are all the contents of all the private letters which we yesterday received from Paris. The Papers are also silent upon the subject ; and the accounts from the South of France notice merely the return of a few invalids, and that no prepara tions were making for the reception of any body of troops beyond those usually passing through the frontier towns. [HORNING HERALD.] Tuesday's Paris papers arrived late last night. They speculate a good deal upon a Council of Ministers recently held, at which the King pre sided. Some will have it that the question under discussion was the granting au indemnity to the Emigrants whose estates were confiscated— others the withdrawing the Army of Occupa tion from Spain; and a third party asserts, that both subjects were discussed. NVith respect to the retirement of the great bulk of the French army from Spain, there appears no longer the least reason to doubt it. It also seems probable that Ferdinand neither requested nor desired their continuance in Spain. In truth, the Serviles, who at present surround and govern him, are the most anxious for the evacuation of the country by the French. Vengeance and persecution will no doubt reign still more fu riously. Little progress seems to be made in the organization of a regular army. A sort of militia, called Royalist Volunteers, seem to be chiefly relied on—and these are furious partisans of the Inquisition. Distrust and fear are still entertained respecting the ci-devant Constitutional army. A new Decree has been published, depriving Officers of this description of their honours, arms, and equipage—if not of their own pro perty. According to all ordinary calculations, however, there appears no likelihood of a serious effort to re-establish the Constitution. Twenty thousand Frenchmen is great nucleus in the kingdom, and if danger threatened, this number would be increased by French troops again passing over the Pyrenees. The Spaniards, be sides, want arms, ammunition, money, and or ganization. There are further accounts from Greece—not containing any thing important, ex cepting only that they confirm, beyond all doubt, the failure of the Turkish naval campaign, and the return of the shattered fleet to the Darda nelles. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. DECISION ON THE ST. ANDREW'S (HOLBORN) TITHE QUESTION. Havrow-GanDEN.—Vesterday_ being the day named for the final delivery of the Magistrates' opinione on this momen tous question, the office was thronge4l at an early hour by the more respectable part of the parishioners. Mr. Scrjeant Sra.t.oN, W. L. Ron Ens, and S. Larxo, Esqrs., took their seats on the Bench at twelve o'clock; and Mr. Griffiths and Mr. Taylor, vestry clerks, soon after ap peared—the former on behalf of the Rector (1)r. Beresford). Mr. MEnEwErnEn, who conducted the Rev. Gentleman's case on the former discussion, did not attend ; neither was it understood that he should ; for every argument having been exhausted as to the absolute merits of the point, the parties consented to abide the decision of the Magistrates, and merely came forward to have that decision made. Mr. Ansa: a attended on behalf of the parishioners. At a quarter before twelve o'c)bck Mr. Serjeant SELT.ON commenced by saying, that the time was now arrived when he and his colleagues were called upon to deliver judgment on a question of great magnitude and importance—a question which was involved in great obscurity and doubt. It was a question in regard to a certain tithe claimed by the Rector of St. Andrew's parish, Holborn, the payment of which was disputed by an individual named Wasp. After stating at considerable length his view of the question, the Learned Sergeant said, that the Reverend Plaintiff, having failed in carrying back the existence of a right to the period required by law, that he, for one, must say that it had not been sufficiently supported. 111 r. 'tool:Rs followed, and stated that after the very lucid view taken of the case, in all its bearings by his colleague (the Learned Sergeant), he felt it unnecessary to offer any further observation, and perfectly coinciding in those views, and resting judgment on the same point of law, namely, the non-existence of right, under the statute of Edward IV. Ire must come to the same conclusion, that the claim had not been sustained. Mr. La iNG then said, that he, as one of the Magistrates, felt It a duty whi c h h e owe d t o hi mse lf, as a l so to th e rec tor of the parish, to dissent from the judgment given by his worthy col leagues; for the payments having been traced so tar back as 103 years, without any interruption, was, in his mind, a suffi cient proof of the justness of the claim. 80 , L ut-STItIeET.--Yesterday morning a printed Bill, of which the following is a copy, was received at this office in a blank envelope through the channel of the twopenny post-office. It was leased—"ad To the Magistrates of Bow-street." "TU NEW PANDEMONIUM, or, THE DEVIL'S COUNCIL CHAMBER."

SWARET, Esq. had taken his seat, Snow , one of the constables, stated , that a ma n named toil eto/tyro, was taken into custody that suspicion of h a vi ng b eaten hi s youngest child, Ca rolineoa dreadful m anner , t h a t h e r life was then de. smparirn in ediingofo.n:L added, that a surgeon was then in attendance, who would describe the shocking state in which he found the child, on being sent for to attend it. Tho MAGISTRATE, beibre ho commenced hearing the evi dence, directed Mr. Swift, the surgeon, to call down at the pri soner'S house, in order to swain whether the OW wm In existence. In the interim it was stated that the prisoner had formerly kept a carpet and blanket manufactory, at No. 43, Blackfriars-road, where he failed in business about six months ago, subsequently went to lire at No. 16, Brond-place, Wal worth, at which place, since his bankruptcy, lie carried on bu siness as a plate glass manufacturer. His wife and five child ren resided with him. In the course of three quarters of an hour Mr. Swift returned to the Office, and informed the Magi strate that the child was dead. The prisoner was then placed at the bar. He is rather a genteel looking man, apparently about 35 years of age, and dressed in a suit of black. When he was put to the bar he sat down, and holding his head between his knees, remained in that position, with his handkerchief to his forehead, until the Magistrate desired him to stand up, and listen to the evidence given against him by the witness on suspicion of having mur dered his child. Upon hearing this dreadful charge, the pri soner (lid not betray any appearance of horror, but attended to the directions of the Magistrate. It appeared from the evidence of John Adams, a watchman, that on Wednesday night Mrs. Dewhurst applied to him for protection from the violence of her husband, and that after en tering the house with some difficulty, upon witness going up stairs into a room on the first floor, he saw a female child, ap parently about a year and a half old, lying down completely naked in one corner, and covered with blood - from head to foot. Upon seeing the dreadful state in which the child was, and the mother almost frantic, lie (witness) ran off for Surgeon Swift, who promptly attended. This evidence was corroborated by that of some other watch men. Mr. Swift, the Surgeon, stated that when he was sent for, which was between three and four o'clock in the morning, upon going up stairs he saw the prisoner standing in the middle of the room; who, upon seeing him, used very strong language, intimating that he had no business there, and swearing that he would turn him out if he did not leave the premises imme diately. He at that time appeared to be in a dreadful rage ; and witness, fearful of the consequences, gave him in charge to the two watchmen who were then in the room. The witness then proceeded to examine the child, which was lying in the state described by the foregoing witness. "In fact," said the surgeon, " I never beheld such a mass of' violence in my life, as that which the body of the infant presented; the whole length of the spine and legs were covered with desperate bruises, blood flowed copiously from its mouth and nose, no feature in its face was discernible—the head presenting the appearance of having been repeatedly dashed against a wall or some hard substance. The pupils of the eyes were dilated, and the infant was in a comatose state. There were also some violent bruises on the back of its head, and most of the hair appeared to have been dragged off:" Witness lost no time in administering both internal and external applications; and, after having used fomentations, the child shewed symptoms of difficult and painful respiration. The child at that time was in a dying state. Afterwards, the witness proceeded to examine the room in which such horrible barbarity had been committed, and per ceived on the wall a quantity of clotted blood, with hair inter mixed with it. These marks he discovered as bearing the appearance as If the child's head had been beaten against it. There was also found in the room a thick leather strap, about a yard in length, which had been evidently used, as it bore marks of blood, and some heavy wales, which he ob served on the child's back and loins, appeared as if they had been inflicted by such a weapon. The witness added, that during the time he was examining the child, the prisoner re. mained in the room in custody between the two watchmen ; and at the conclusion, he (witness) spoke to him, observing on the horrible state his child was beaten ; to which the prisoner replied, that he had done nothing, and the child fell down stairs and bruised its face. Mr. Swift said, that he had visited the child again that morning, by the Magistrate's direction, and found it was dead. The external violence on the hotly of the deceased the witness proved was sufficient to cause death. Shaw, the constable of Newington, stated that the prisoner was given into his charge between two and three o'clock that morning, upon suspicion of having murdered his child. He proceeded to search the prisoner, and took from his pocket, amongst other thing s , a p en k n if e . Wh en t h e pr i soner saw t h e knife in the constable's hand, he said, " I hope you did not think I was going to cut my own throat with it." He then ex pressed a wish to send for Dr. Sibree to see his child, and ob served that he should be then satisfied. The prisoner, in reply to a question from the Magistrate, said he did not wish to say any thing in his defence. He was then remanded for further examination. MANSION-llOUSE.—Yesterday an Italian, named Barto lomeo Lavezzo and his wife, or mistress, Carolina Lavezzo were brought before the LouD Mayon, charged with having forged the names of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith, the bunkers, to a parchment, for the purpose of obtaining charity. Mr. Manning, the Bank Director, and several other men of commercial eminence, attended the examination, the prisoners being suspected of having extensively imposed upon the public by counterfeiting the recommendatory signatures of some of the first people.—Mr. Samuel Cotton, of Basingliall-street, stat ed, that on Tuesday the female prisoner (who is under 20 years of age, and possessed of some personal attractions) called at his house, and presented the following petition, neatly written on parchment:—" Gentlemen, We take the liberty most particu larly to recommend to you Mr. Lavezzo, and his family, late banker and merchant at Paris, who, since the month of Octo ber last, has had the misfortune to lose all the property he possessed, in expeditions that he made to the Indies, and which have unfortunately failed. The intention of Mr. Lavezzo, if he be able to raise sufficient means, is to repair, with his family, to the Brazils, where he has a brother, who haS resided there for sixteen years, and all his difficulties would immediately cease could he once have the happiness to reach that place. In this deplorable situation, and having been reduced to the greatest distress, as well as all his family, these unfortunates address themselves with confidence to time Bankers and Mer chants, as well as all persons of consequence to whom this shall be communicated. Gentlemen, if any wish to snake an offering on the altar of God, who relieves unmerited afflic tion, they dare hope that they will not be insensible to the misfortunes of a family, otherwise, by their virtues, rendered so truly worthy of commiseration and relief.—We are, with the highest consideration, Gentlemen, your most humble and obe dient servants, " SMITH, PAYNE, AND SMITH." The signature was in the writing of some extremely illiterate person, and no Daniel was necessary to detect the imposition. 31r. Cotton, in the conviction that he had to deal with an im. postor, questioned his petitioner, and ascertained that Mlle body was waiting for her outside. He detained her, placed her in the custody of an officer , and went to the house of Messrs. from whom he learned what h e h a d signature was a forgery, a nd th e y l w he ere strangers to them. I;'orrester, petitioner ttrihmo,nl e y P r a e y x : n i) e ict a l ed l n is d — f S a t in n h l a i ll t th the officer, was ordered to take Mr. Lavezzo into custody; and as the Italian had hired a servant to assist in the plan for rais ing the wind, the latter was likewise required to be appre hended.—Mr. Cotton said he was convinced that some other person was in the back ground. , In fact, he believed that La. vezzo and his wife were the dupes of individuals who were com mitting very extensive frauds, by working upon the charitable feelings of the public. Forrester said he found Lavezzo and his servant Pietro Masse, in a house near Holborn, amongst a number of Italian minstrels and beggars. The servant said he had accompanied his mistress to more than twenty houses of persons of wealth and distinction, but he did not know her object in making such visits. Lavezzo at first said that the female was his sister, and then.his wife. In his certificate from the Alien Office, he got himself represented us known to Mr. Rothschild, and this certificate Mrs. Lavezzo took about with her to exhibit as an additional confirmation of her husband's claims. Lavezzo said he knew nothing about the petition, and his wife admitted that she went to Mr. Cotton's with the peti tion, but that the . gentleman who gave it to her, left a paper containing the real condition of her husband and herself, and she supposed that the parchment contained a similar description. Lavezzo confessed that he knew nothing of Mr. Rothschild, but that his object in coming here was to obtain a guitar, and ac. company his wife's voice in the street, where he might procure enough money to go over to the Brazils. He had called her sister, because he thought himself too old to be called her hus band. The Loan MAYOR said the frauds might be much more extensive than was supposed, and he thought it his duty to remand the prisoners until Monday, in order that the public might be apprized of the circumstances of the case, and that if any other persons had cause to suspect the conduct of the pri soners, they might come forward. The prisoners were remanded till Monday. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—Last week the follow ing singular accident occurred near Leith. A girl, about 14 years of age, whil e a mu s ing herself alone on a swing, and giving herself a rotatory motion, slipped from her seat in such a manner as to get the rope twisted about her neck, so that before she could loosen it, she was fairly suspended, and hung unob served for several minutes. When cut down she was to all ap pearance quite dead. On employing, however, without delay, the usual means of resuscitation, she began slowly to evince signs of returning life and in a few hours the vital func tions were restored ;- -.delirium, however, accompanied with convulsions of the most distressing kind, continued for twelve hours, and three or four days elapsed before she regained entire possession of her mental faculties. It is worthy of observation that she recollects nothing of the accident, nor even circumstances that occurred, and actions she performed several minutes before it. The last thing she can remember (and she does so vividly), is being engaged in some domestic tuatter, which was about ten minutes before she left the house for the swing. She is now quite Edinburgh Courant, Nov. MI) FOR. THE SUN'. EDDA. (FABcE VII.)—Of the Road leading to Bata. Mu. EDlTOR—Gang ler asks—Which is the road that leads from earth to heaven?---liar' swered, smiling, yours is not a sensible question. Have you not been told that the gods constructed a bridge which leads from the earth to heaven! Surely you must have seen it yourself; but per• haps you name it the rainbow. It is of three dif ferent colours, extremely solid, and built with more skill than any other edifice in the world. Rut great as is its strength, it will.nevertheless be taken into pieces, when the Genii 6fthe World of Fire shall ride over it on horseback, after hay ing crossed the principal ruins of hell. Gangkr then said—lt seems to me that there is much de ceit in the manner in which this bridge is con structed, since, though the gods can do all things! yet is this work of theirs liable to be broken down and destroyed. liar answered—Even though th is he the case, yet can no blame attach to the gos. In itself the bridge is good ; but in this world nothing can resist the strength of these Genii of Fire, in the day when they shall sally forth to wage war with the gods. But, continued Ganglsr, What did the Universal Father when he had built Asgard ? liar replied, In the beginning, hi established rulers, and commanded t hem to j udge and determine the differences that should arise among men, and to regulate the administration of the celestial city. It is in the plain of Ida, which stands in the midst of the heavenly resi dence, that these judges hold their Court.-- The first thing which they did, was to erect the hall wherein are their twelve seats*, and in the midst of those stands the elevated throne of the Universal Father. No hall can, equal it either in size or in magnificence, and both within an d „. without it is resplendent with gol d ; a nd 1 " L name is Gladheim (the abode of Joy.) They next erected another for the use of the Godde whisses is ; an abode truly b e autiful and agreeable, ch . called Vingolf (the abode of Love an d of Frie . lia _ ship.) Lastly, they built a house i n which Mel put furnaces, and hammers, and au anvil, i e t 0 every tool that belongs to a forge. With thsso they worked metal, and stone, and wood ; and great was the quantity of the metal called goal oal which they formed, that with it they made article of furniture, nay, eve n the harness of ti l lr steeds were of pure gold.
