E LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts fro , n the Morning Papers, Sept.lo, 159.5. [TUE Timm.] A report prevailed yesterday in the city; and obtained very general credit, of the arrival of in telligence from India, of the termination of the - Burmese war, by the, capture of Ummerapoora, the capital and the entire submission of the 'op posing force.• We shall first give the letter on which this report is founded, and next examine to what degree of credibility it is entitled. It was received 'yesterday by the French post from Bor deaux, and may be relied on as a genuine letter, the hand-writing of the party being well known to the mercantile house to which it is addressed. —( Here . follows the letter; which' will he found in another column of Sur'.)--The facts stated in the preceding letter are so extremely confused, and the notions of the writer respecting the geo graphy of the country are so imperfect, that the first impression of every person perusing it will be, a doubt of its accuracy _in every particular. There are, nevertheless, some points in favour of its being substantially true, which ought to. be stated when they relate to an event of so great importance. It will be imagined that such an. occurrenceas the capture of Ummerapoora having taken place in the beginning of March, should have been known long before by the regular ar rivals from Calcutta, but we are at present sin gularly in arrear with respect to intelligence from Calcutta, having nothing later than the- 10th of March; at which date Sir Archibald Campbell, had he really succeeded to the extent stated, could not, by any channel, have conveyed the news of his success to the seat of Government in Bengal. No communication can take place by land from Ummerapoora to Calcutta, and sup posing him to send his dispatches to Rangoon to be transmitted by sea, they would arrive at a period when, on account of the prevalence of the monsoons, no vessel would be able to quit that harbour, and the reaching Calcutta at the date of our latest accounts, from thence would be altogether out of the question. The next chan nel, therefore, through which the news would spread, would be the ports of Siam, between which and Sincapore, the nearest English settle ment, there is a constant trading communication, and this, in the prevailing state of the winds, might even suggest itself as the route by which the intelligence might reach Calcutta sooner than any other. Captain Johnson is apparently in error when he talks of a British force within 100 miles of Bangkok, the sea-port of Siam, and it is impossible to have any thing to do with the taking of Ummerapoora, which is at least 500 miles fur ther up the country ; but this may be the force collected by the Siamese, which was relied on for conducting the operations of the present cam paign. After all, it may perhaps be unsafe to say more than that this news is not to be discre dited, either on account of the route through which it has travelled, or the length of time it has taken to reach England, and that the charge of wilful misrepresentation cannot possibly attach to nny portion of it. We incline, on the whole, to give some degree of credit to it ; but at all events many days cannot elapse before all arrival from Calcutta shall clear up any doubts that may exist on the subject. A: Proclamation has been issued by a noted Personage at the Cape of Good Hope, which, notwithstanding the quarter it pro ceeds from, will give universal satisfaction. It is no other than an official document, reciting an order under the King's sign manual, whie.l bears date the 9th of February, 1825, and di recurthat a Council shall be established for the Colony " to ad " vise and assist in the administration of the Government there ' " of." His Majesty haSalso signified his pleasure, that cer tain persons—viz. the Chief Justice, and five other individuals of the first rank and character in the settlement, shall jointly, with the Governor, compose this Council. Such gentlemen having a heavy responsibility cast Upon them, will, doubtless, be governed by a sense of it. Those acts of power which go to . affect the rights, the interests, the fortunes, and feelings of his Majesty's subjects, will no longer be executed at the caprice of a Governor alone. Every Proclamation will be, try the Governor " in Council ;" every act of Council will be . carried by vote. General my Lord, &c. &c. &c. with half a dozen appellations—Colonel of God knows what West India re giment, consisting of Negro-men, who wear white pantaloons to cover their black legs—this hitherto omnipotent Lord will hencesrth be compelled to submit his measures to the judg ment of six English gentlemen, with offices to lose, responsi ' hint) , to fear, and independence of character to vindicate. There is now some chance that complaints will be listened to, eeal grievances redressed upon the spot—that not so many petitions will beset the ears of Lord Bathurst and the Parliament'--that not so many hopes of honest and industrious emigrants be frustrated, or so many colonists ruined, nor hearts broken, nor murmurs nor execrations dispersed over the world. This we ' look upon to be a just, wholesome, and provident measure of the Bing's Ministers. It furnishes both indemnity and security ...;,-not merely a biting reprimand for the past, but a salutary • cheek upon any vicious appetite for abuses, or insolence of op. pression, that may show itself in Cape Governors-hereafter. It —tit a step towards a good and impartial administration of justice, affording a fair promise of colonial prosperity ; and on behalf of right against wrong, exhibiting a signal triumph.— (Ibid.) [NEW TIMES.] A single and uncorroborated letter reached town yesterday, conveying intelligence, which, if true; is of very high importance ; but before we give it entire credit we shall wish to see it con :Armed from some other sources. The letter which we give in another column announces the ,entire submission of the Burmese Empire to the , Uritish arms. We, for our part, have never doubted but that the final result of the war must 'be to us a complete success. That such a result .should be brought about so suddenly is certainly ~what we did not expect, and, are not quite pre. .pared .to believe. The narrative, too, is at once vague and surprising. No dates of time or• place ;Are assigned to any part of the British o perations, . but it is said the British Commander having occu. ~pied a Burman town, placed a garrison there; whilst he himself moved forward. The Burmese ,Availed themselves of his absence to murder the ...garrison, whereupon the general returned and Out 411 the inhabitants to the sword ! We hope that ,no such sanguinary scenei have really taken place; but the narrative goes on to ascribe to the mas. .sacre the most beneficial effects, since it is said to have struck terror into the whole country, and enftbled our troops to m a rch without further . opposition to Ameerapoora, the Burman capital. These events are certainly not beyond the tar:inds of possibility ; but .we ,cannot say that they'ap. pear to us to possess a high degree of probability. [MORNING POST.] Ltvpdrts were very prevalent in the city last night that a glorious end bad been put to the Burmese war. That there is some foundation for these reports, and one entitled to some credit, appears an unquestionable fact. The London China ship received letters from a French vessel at sea bound from Sincapore to Bordeaux. These letters -were addressed to merchants of the City. They are dated about the middle of April, and they state the arrival at Sincapore of a vessel from Bangkock, bringing the important intelli gence that the British troops had entered the BuNnese capital, and taken the Emperor pri soner, and that a peace was immediately con cluded, on terms the most advantageous and ho nourable to the British arms. We received last night by express, French Pa pers to the Bth inst. and the Elate of Thursday. The latter, in repelling an attack made by the Journal des Debuts, betrays two important facts : first, that the treaty concluded with the Haytian Government contains some secret articles se condly, that one of those articles binds the Hay tians not to trade with the French Colonies in ele West Indies, or even to allow their vessels to show themselves on their coasts. The object of this prohibition, which, we are told, was agreed to without any difficulty by the President Boyer, is to prevent the danger which might arise from any communication between the indepen dent Blacks of St. Domingo and the Negro Slaves at Guadaloupe and Martinique. This arrange ment may serve as a guidance to the other Powers who possess colonies in the West Indies (our selves in particular), with respect to the mode of recognizing the new State.—(ibid.) [PUBLIC LEDGER.] A great sensation was excited yesterday in the city, by the arrival of a letter from Sincapore of the 9th of April, announcing the termination of the Burmese war , --the King, his capital, and in fact the whole of the Burmese• Empire, having previously. submitted to our troops. The letter containing this important news was received on Thursday last by an eminent hous- in the City, and was sent the same day to the India House ; but of the credit attached there to its contents we are wholly. ignorant. It was brought from . Sin capore by a French vessel, bound to BOurdeaux, and thence transmitted to this country. It will be seen from the copy which we give of it, that it is exceedingly meagre in its details, which alone would he insufficient to overturn its claims to authenticity, as it may have been written in great baste, and before the particulars had tran spired. The episode, however, of the indiscri minate massacre of the Burmese troops,at a place not designated, and: by a corps of our army, the name of which is also omitted, and which occu pies more room than the main story, may be only an instance of bad taste, but it seems to us to shake the credit of the whole. Besides the date subjects the intelligence to deep mistrust, as it was hardly possible that any one of the events, which it mentions, could have been then known at Sincapore. They -must all have occurred be fore the middle of March, to enable them to be known at that place at the time stated ; whereas our previous advices from the main body of the expeditionary Army, ir,tr dated the negin ning of that month, when a long march through an unknown and difficult country was before them, and when no anticipation, even in the most indistinct shape, was entertained of an immediate termination of the war. According to the letter, the whole must have been concluded between the beginning and the middle of that month ; but if the capital had been occupied, and the King made prisoner, in the interval, it could not be known that the whole Empire had been sub jected, as the letter states. There is either an error, therefore, in the date of the letter, or the whole is a tissue of loose and crude rumours ; and such is the conclusion, we believe, which persons most conversant in India affairs have come to on the subject ; whilst there are others who look upon the letter itself as a forgery. [BRITISif PRESS.] The Paris Papers we received last night bring us no fresh intelligence from any part of Europe. The Etoile of Thursday contains a long account of the reception of the French Envoy at •the Court of Fez. The Emperor of Morocco evinced every disposition to testify his regard for his Most Christian.. Majesty ; but we apprehend it matters little, either to France or any other power, what sentiments are felt by the Mahometan Princes on the coast of the Mediterranean. Their day of mischief has passed by, and their friendship, for its own sake, we take it for granted, the King of France woad disdain to possess. An important statement is made in the Etoile respecting the treaty with Hayti. Some alarm had been expressed as to the communication between their ships and the other West India islands. It appears, however, that the vessels of Hayti are restricted from touching at any of the French colonies. It is added that this regulation met with no difficulty or objection on the part of the Haytians themselves. In the private correspond ence from Spain, some account is given of the misunderstanding at Cadiz with an English ves sel, to which allusion was made in a paragraph in our paper of yesterday. The correspondent of the French journal styles the vessel a frigate, but it was the packet from Gibraltar, returning home. The English Captain, it is said, was warned by a French brig not to enter the harbour. Two guns, with powder only, were discharged to no purpose, and it was not till a shot was fired by a frigate that the Englishman thought fit to stop. The affair was evidently one purely of mistake. The presence of Mr. Lamb at Madrid has pro duced-a great sensation in the political circles of that capital. The new Ambassador seems to have impressed those with whom he has to act much in his favour, and that is one principal clement of success. [MORNING HERALD.] The evidence taken by the Lords and Com mons on the State of Ireland, contains much va las.ble matter. There is al so much that is irre• . levant, and indisCreet. It is hard to see what benefit could result froth the q uestions about ex clusive salvation, as if th at was a do g ma of the Itomaa Catholic Faith alone. It is, in truth, the keystone of every Church, and every sect, however individuals may take upon themselves to reject or deny it. It is the bases of every re ligionist who has the zeal of making converts. — Look but to the Meetings of the Societies for sending Missionaries among the Heathens—for instance, that of the Brentford branch, held the day before yesterday. Exclusive salvation is openly avowed by the speakers. One of these Rev. Gentlemen says—" It is a ttemendous question whether, after all, the whole of the Heathen world is to perish. I fear to put the question ; I cannot answer it; but I am quite assured that, unless they are made holy, none, whether Mahometans, Heathens, or Jews, will ever see the kingdom of Heaven." Another is of the same opinion ; but adds the consolation, that they may be saved at the rate of sixpence a soul A third says " the Jews, like the Heathens and Mahometans, must be shut out for ever from the presence of God." And a fourth pronounces the acciden tal blowing up of some ignorant savages by gun powder, which they mistook for food, and tried to bake, to be God's jugment upon them. There is, as usual, a pretty assortment of edifying sto ries, got up for the occasion ; but this rhetorical licence of invention seems to be fully established, and one must no more be expected to' swear for the truth" of a speech than " for the truth of a song." This dogma—this universal dogma of ex clusive salvation is placed in a very striking light, in the following passage of a very striking speech : " The Protestants tell us it is in vain to look for harmony with the Catholics, inasmuch as they deliver the Protestants to damnation—gravely they say this—soberly they say this of a morning! —The Catholic who hears this produces a Pro testant Creed, which does the same thing, and damns his sect in return. The infidel who listens agrees with both and triumphs.—The truth is, (continues the orator) exclusive salvation is the common phrenzy of all sects—the relig. on of none—and damning one another, like burning one another, is now exploded.—No religion can stand if men, without regard to their God, and with regard only to controversy, rake out the rubbish of antiquity, and the quaint or cruel follies of the sectarians. Theologian against theologian polemic against polemic —exposing their commok* religion—defaming their common parent." This was the language of the late Mr. Grattan—a man admitted by all parties to have been alike enlightened, indepen dent, incorrupt, and in the highest, and in every sense, a patriot—who has had that deci sive testimony to his public worth and wisdom — 'he alternate vilification of the populace, and of , e satellites of power. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] There is at present great difference of opinio at the Police Offices about the extent of the powers of Watchmen, and the degree of respect due to these high and mighty Authorities. At Bow-street the doctrine of passive obedience to the race of Charleys has been broached, and do minion has been given to these children of light over all persons who walk under the shadow of darkness—at least such is the Ueneral impres sion ; and if it be erroneous, the Magistrate, whose sentiments have been mistaken, will do well to take the very earliest opportunity to correct it. At Mary-la-Bonne Office, how ever, we find the prerogatives of these peripatetic powers most materially, and most wholesomely circumscribed. Mr. Rawlinson and Mr. Griffiths hold that, these dignities are not entitled to resent affronts offered to themselves by imprisoning the offenders. We have already noticed Mr. Raw lin son's just comments on' the conduct of the guardians of the night, and his brother Magistrate, Mr. Griffiths, the other day suspended one of these personages for one of those vigorous measures that are now so commonly resorted to by them. The fellow had merely locked a person up in the watch house for calling him a brute—nothing more. In his defence, indeed, he alleged that the prisoner was tipsy ; but the night constable who took the charge being questioned on this point, said that the prisoner smelt of liquor, but was not drunk, whence we conclude that in round-house-law smelling of liquor is the offence that stands next to actual drunkenness.-- The Dogberry, in this instance was, we are happy to say, suspended by Mr. GRIFrITHS, who very properly refused to listen to a good character which some one offered to give him. It is the fashion to attach too much weight to good cha racter in all our Courts ; character, in doubtful, cases, may be allowed to turn the scale, but against established facts it should not be allowed to avail, for it is but one man's opinion of another, and every hypocrite, every prudent rogue, has a good character ; indeed, we never heard of any man, however great his misconduct or crime, who could not produce some one, for love or mo ney, to say all good things -of him. At Marlbo rough-street, we find the di g nity of watchmen shorn of its beams, at Mary-la-bonne, shining forth again in full lustre. It appeared the other clay, that the command of one of these monarchs of the night having been disobeyed, he tore the offender's clothes, and dragged him along by the collar to the watch-house ; the Magistrate, our old friend of Vagrant Act fame, Mr. Dyer, hav ing listened to the statements of the witnesses of the outrage, whose evidence was corroborated in certain particulars by that of the night constable, contented himself with observing that " there was no occasion to go further into the case," and mercifully ordered the mal-treated • prisoner to be discharged. Accordingly the individual, on paying the shilling_ which is exacted on these occasions, was set at liberty, and doubtless he blessed his stars that he was born in a country famous for its laws, where no man can be de prived of his freedom for one moment, except by the judgment of his Peers, or by the sentence of a Magistrate, or by the pleasure of a watch man. Idle charges and outrages, we may ob serve, though grievous to the parties, are not, however, without an advantage; for they are ob sop f o u i t viously profitable to some body or m seeing that they - bring shillings into the e Offices. Bad officers or watchmen must be very •ood for the fund, whatever it is., Persons who are in the habit:of priding- themselves upon buy ing bargains, should bear in mind, that besides injuring the fair trader, they are nine times in ten purchasingstolen goods. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. EFFECTS OF DRUNKENNESS. MANslON".HousE.—Yesterday John Plunkett was charged with endeavouring to enter the service.ofa Mr. Dennis, as foot man, by a false character. The complainant stated, that the prisoner' referred him - to a Mr. Chippendale, at Tooting, for a character, to whom he wrote a letter, and received one in an swer, giving him an excellent one. Suspecting some fraud, he. made inquiry, and found that no person of that name resided at Tooting, and that the letter was taken from the postman by the prisoner, who caused an answer to be sent to him. The moment the prisoner was placed at the bar, the Lord Mayor recognized him as having formerly lived in his service for two years; when his Lordship addressed him in a very feel ing manner, and stated, that during the time he lived with him, he was one of the best servants lie ever had, except that lie was in the habit of getting intoxicated. " I have (said his Lordship) often addressed you, even with tears, and pointed out to you the dangerous consequences of indulging in that fatal propensity, and you have as often assured me you would alter your conduct, and which, had you done, you would not have been placed in the disgraceful situation in which you now stand. Were you but to leave off your habits of intoxication, you would make a most excellent servant ; and I must say, that is your only failing, as I always had the highest opinion of your ho nesty.and integrity." The complainant, after consulting with his Lordship, said, he did not wish to press the charge, and lie was consequently discharged. The prisoner, who appeared much affected at his Lordship's address, bowed respectfully, and withdrew, solemnly promising to attend to his Lordship's advice. THE DISTRESSED ARTIST. GUILDHALL.—Amongst the prisoners brought up before Mr. Alderman BRIDGES, yesterday, was John Brown Eaton, the artist, of Fetter-lane, whose attempt to destroy himself in a court in Fetter-lane, we noticed in our Paper of Friday last, and as the particulars of his case, and the story he then told, were calculated to excite commisseration for him, as to cause unfavourable impressions as to the character and conduct of his wife, it is proper that the public should be undeceived upon these subjects ; and the more so, as, in consequence of the ac count that appeared, one charitably disposed lady forwarded to Mr. Alderman Atkins a 51. note for Eaton's use. Mrs. Eaton has since made affidavit that the distress of her husband was wholly attributable to his own dissolute habits and propensity to drinking; and that his conduct, for some time past, towards her, had been such as to make it necessary for her to have recourse to her own friends for subsistence.— She also stated that, instead of her instigating him to commit suicide, she, in her endeavours to take the razor from him, re ceived a severe blow in her stomach, and she declared that she considered her own life and that of her child to be in danger from his violence. The poor woman having removed to her mother's house in Hind-court, Fleet-street; she was pursued there by her hus band, as soon as he was liberated ; and it was in consequence of his conduct on that occasion that he was now in custody. Mrs. Street said, that she believed that the prisoner had been intoxicated every day since he had been liberated from the Compter ; that her daughter and her children had been with her ever since Monday, and if she was protected from the an noyance of the husband, she was willing to support them ; but he came there on Thursday, was exceedingly troublesome, and as he declared he would not leave the house, she was obliged to . give him in custody. Eaton in his justification said, that on his return home, on Monday, he found himself locked out of his lodgings, and was told that all his property was detained for an arrear of 2/. 15s. due to his landlord. He was, therefore, now without a lodging, and by the seizure of all his portfolios and apparatus totally de prived of carrying on his profession. Mr. Alderman ATKINS said, .that .his brother Magistrate and himself thought, that as he was able, but did not sup port his family, the proper thing for them to do would be to throw themselves on the parish ; the Overseers would in con se9uence apprehend him, and the Magistrates would then have it in their power to do that which alone it would seem could cure him of his passion for stating, send him to the tread wheel for three months. Eaton, in the sequel, on his promise not to annoy Mrs. Street in future, and to communicate with his wife only by letter, was discharged. POST-OFFICE ROBBERIES. BOW-STREET.— William Henry Austin, a letter-muter in the General Post-office, who has undergone several private exa minations before Mr. Misismuer., on various charges of having purloined money-letters, was again brought up yester day for a final and public examination before the,same Ma.: gistrate.—By the evidence against him, which WWI very voluminous, it appeared that he had long been in the habit of purloining the money-letters, which came into his hands as a sorter, and converting their contents to his own use.— There were a nurnbbr of witnesses examined, but the principal one was a person named Charles Wallis, who described him self as a paper-dealer, residing at No. 3, Bermondsey New road. This person, who was an old acquaintance of the pri soner, had unwittingly been employed by him to dispose of the stolen notes is the purchase of foreign money, and the whole afTair was discovered in consequence of his having given his name and address in getting change for one of the notes at the Bank of England. The prisoner, by advice of his solicitor, declined saying any thing in his defence, and he was fully com mitted to Newgate for trial. MILITARY REGULATIONS. MARY-LA-BONNE.—Mr. Abraham Bell, of the Bear and Bummer public-house, Mortimer-street, Cavendish-square' ap peared on the complaint of corporal Thomas Barn es, of the third battalion of the Grenadier Guards, for having obstructed him in the execution of his•duty.—Barnes said, a part of the military duty which had devolved upon him was calling the roll, or visiting the quarters of soldiers out on billet, in order to have them at their quarters before ten o'clock. On Tuesday night last he was traversing the " roll call," and at about a quarter after eleven o'clock arrived at the defendant's house, and found it closed, but perceiving lights and hearing voices, he knocked and demanded admittance. The defendant, on ascertaining what he ' wanted, exclaimed from within, " I have no soldier quartered here." The witness knowing he could not be mistaken, mentioned Selling, the soldier's name, and said, he must he admitted, as the Commanding Officer hail given him strict orders to see every soldier. The defendant again said he had not the soldier, but, after some altercation, opened the door, saying, " I don't care for your commanding officer or you either ; you shall not disturb. my house at this hour ; the man is in bed." The witness called Selling, the soldier, down, and being satisfied he was within, was about remonstrating with the defendant upon the impropriety of his conduct, when he threatened to kick him out of the house, and used the worst language to him, finally giving him (the wit ness) into the watchman's charge, but at the watch-house the constable of the night dismissed the charge. Mr. GRIFFITH—What time did you take to traverse the dif ferent places where the men were quartered ? Witness—Above an hour; the defendant's was the very last house ; and had lie not seen that some of the family were up, he should not have knocked. If the soldier had been in bed at the moment of his calling, he could have demanded to be shown to his sleeping-room. On entering the house there were four men drinking at the bar. Mr. Bell said, only a part of the statement made was cor rect, tlik complainant came in a state of intoxication after the house had been closed for the night, and thundered at the door, threatening to break it'open, if not immediately opened. He I (Mr. Bell) knowing that a corporal of the battalion to 'which the soldier belonged had been round the quarters, and had seen the man at ten o'clock, and went away perfectly satisfied, was not disposed to put up with such a nocturnal intrusion, anti for some time refused to admit the complainant, who upon being admitted commenced a 'volley of abuse, calling him puppy, • monkey, vagabond, rascal, &c., and although the soldier was called out of his bed to him, would not go, but continued abus ing him and saying, "d-- your eyes, it you had not been very • quick, I would have broken open the door for }roil." At length be became so disorderly that Mr. Bell called the watch, and sent him to the watch-house. Mr. GitiFFlTti.—Did he remain in the house after seeing the soldier ? Mr. Bell.—Yes, Sir, that was the reason I gave him into custody. One of Mr. Bell'e neighbours, who was paying his reckon ing at the bar, said he never saw such bad conduct or behaviour as the corporal displayed. Mr. H. Bell, cousin to the defendant, said he called in at about eleven o'clock to see his cousin, and was drinking a glass m th rl e ot l t a r n c g u u s a to g n e lers standing at the bar, who were paying of wine with him within the bar ; there were then only two of t t o i l l i s e e e i d i r reckoning. The corporal, lie proved, was intoxicated, and hAr v eo a su s piectiai called,abpl: happening nlvasg imputed to him by his cousin. Mr. UnIFFITH could not understand why the watchman tto be bseu thefli sufficient el last excuse r a e tt ftoor callliis beingat. It wlate,as clear tliat that . the publican, although his doors were closed, had persons tippling in his house after the regulated hours. Mr. H. Bell said that was a general rule, which he rather thought was not punctually acted upon, the two persons were neighbours, and such parsons were not likely to commit themselves; some discrimination oughtto be exercised. Mr. GRIFFITH told this young gentleman that he did not want any instructions from him, and also observed, that the persons had no right there after eleven o'clock, by any means or under any pretence. The conduct of Mr. Bell was, in his opinion, 'extremely censurable, and would n ot be overlooked. As to the corporal, he hoped the business would be correctly reported to the Colonel ; but as far as the discussion went, he could find nothing to interfere with, and therefore there was an end to the matter. Nevertheless he was glad, on public grognds, tliat the inquiry had taken place: r, • GRAMMATICAL SMOKING. (FROM A NEW YORE PAPER.) d as As smoking is an innoct indulgence, ¢ ° it is customary with people of all classes to relate the news of the day with cigars in their maut il : ; and as the generality of smokers make au ay.- ward appearance, in consequence of their ign ° ' ranee of the theory of punctuation in smoking, the following system is recommended :--- A simple puff serves for a comma. Puff, puff, a semicolon. Puff, puff', puff, a colon. Six puffs, a period. dish A pause, with a cigar kept in the mouth, represe nts A -, longer or shorter in continuance. 'With the under lip raise the cigar almost against the O a % for an exclamation And to express great emotion, e ven to, of shedding of tears, only raise, as before, the cigar to the ell" n the F ose. or an interrogation ? it is only necessary to open the r I P 6 and draw the cigar round the corner of the mouth. Taking the cigar from the mouth and shaking the ashes f lcsna the end, is the conclusion of a paragraph. And throwing it in the fire is a final and stylish pause. _ , Never begin a story with a half-smoked ci g a y. t 11 for to. light another while conversing i s not Op , a breach of politeness, but interferes with " above system of punctuation, which destroys a energy and harmony of expression. SAINT WINIFRED'S WELL, ; Olt HOLY W ELT I FLINTSIIIRE.-This well takes its rise nearly °i the top of the hill leading to the town can e '. Holywell, and nothing can be more picturesql than its situation. The valley through the stream forces its way to the sea is thickli planted, and the sides of the hill cov ered wit hanging woods. The spring boils up with rsva ev much force, that twenty tons are flung out minute. Sixteen mills for cotton, copper, PaPieli and wire are worked by the stream, within° f a mile before it reached the sea. In a circle of 100 yards round this well the Protestant chuAc.si the Roman Catholic chapel, and a Met 1)° " 1 8 , meeting-house are collected.
