MOCK AUCTIONS.—The auctioneer has ge nerally two or three accomplices in attendance, who mingle amongst the company, and pretend ing to examine the articles on sale, praise them exceedingly, as being " excellent goods, really dirt cheap," &c.; while another stands by to bid against the real customers, and to let nothing be knocked down below a certain price, so that the auctioneer is safe from loss. The pretended purchases are frequently made by a female, who occasionally moves off' with her apparent bar gains, and conveys them, by another entrance, to the back part of the premises, to be again ex posed for sale. The unwary customer is often induced to purchase by a promise, that if the ar ticles are not approved they will be changed, if presented within a certain time. But if the un lucky dupe finds he has purchased a case of razors like those in the talc, made to sell, not to cut—a watch that elstinately refuses to go, or, going, keeps time like the musicians in a country choir—or a pretty looking tea-chest that tumbles to pieces on his table—when he calls on the auctioneer to perform his promise, he is offered an article equally worthless, in exchange, and has no alternative but to put up with the loss.— iVeekly Dispatch.

SHAKSPERIAN JUBILEE. STRATFORD-UPON-AVON, MONDAY, APRIL 23. This gala festival, in celebration of the natal day of Shakspeare, commenced this morning, and the contrast between the animated bustle of the inhabitants and visiters on this day, compared with the stillness of the preceding, was most striking. During the whole of Sunday, the several stage-coaches from London and the neighbouring towns were crowded with pas sengers, and vehicles of every description were put in requisition at Birmingham, Warwick, Leamington, and the adjacent villages, to con vey the immense number of individuals who were anxious to witness this splendid pageant, the first upon any scale of magnitude that has taken place since the Garrick Jubilee, on the 6th, 7th, and Bth of September, 1769. The common observation, that great events have risen from small beginnings, was never more verified than in the progress of Shakspeare's Jubilee. A Clergyman had purchased some property in and about this town, and with it the house which was Shakspeare's. In the garden of this house there was a remarkable mulberry tree, which the inhabitants looked upon with veneration, as it was planted by Shakspeare's own hand. The gentleman to whom the house and garden belonged, finding that the tree overshadowed too much of the house, and made *it damp, not having the fear of his neighbours before his eyes, nor the love of Shakspeare in his heart, one night most sacrilegiously cut it down. The alarm of this deed soon spread through the town. Not the going out of the Vestal Fire at Old Rome, or the stealing away the Palladium from Troy, could have more astonished Romans and Tro jans, than this horrid deed did the inhabitants of Stratford. In short, such a spirit was on foot, that the Clergyman was obliged to leave the town. The mulberry-tree was instantly bought up, and the purchaser retailed and cut out the branches of it into various relics. The Corpo ration secured some of the best parts of it ; and, among other fancies which this sacred tree gave rise to, the most remarkable was the foundation of the Shakspeare Jubilee, which was soon after established, under the auspices of Garrick. The festival was conducted by the Shakspearian Club established at Stratford-upon-Avon, who, anxious to do honour to their illustrious towns- i man (Shakspeare), and to show their loyalty to their Sovereign, have proposed holding a Trien nial Commemorative Festival on St. George's Day, the 23d of April, and to continue the same on the two following days. The subscriptions received for this purpose on the present occasion have been most liberal, and far exceeding the expectations of the Committee, whose good taste and evinced yesterday in the various f the ceremonial, reflect upon them ( lt'lroeceedn liberalitygs highest ) credit. Soon after six o'clock, the inhabitants were serenaded by the various bands of instrumental performers parading the town, and subsequently by the ringing of bells, firing of cannon, &c. The arrangements in the line of procession were very judicious, and controlled by the Com mittee, wearing sashes and. medals, assisted by about fifty constables. The whole being in rea diness at eleven o'clock, the pageant of Shaks peare's dramatic characters, filled up by actors from Mr. Raymond's company, and amateurs, moved from the Guildhall in the following or der, and not as previously published : The Royal Standard of England. Full Military Band in uniform, playing ' Warwickshire Lads and Lasses.' The Committee of the Shakspearian Club, two a-breast. The Banner of the Club.

Bardolph Union Flag. Members of the Club, wearing the various medals struck for the occasion, four abreast. The procession, which had a most brilliant effect from the splendour of the armour, dresses, banners, chariots, and other decorations by Mr. Palmer, passed through the principal streets, amidst the plaudits of an immense congregation, to the birth-place of Shakspcare, which still re mains in its forma- state. In front of the house a temporary hustings had been erected, and upon the cavalcade arriving at the spot, the officiating gentlemen having taken their places, the bust of Shakspeare was crowned by Thalia and Melpo mene, and the following appropriate address de livered : More than two ages, marked by many a deed Heart-thrilling, have passed o'er us since his dust Reposed with baser earth ; yea, in that time, High dynasties of Monarchs have been cast From loftiest Thrones, found refuge in mean graves ; Wars have depopulated regions ; light, Celestial light of knowledge, hath Eat the darkest corners. 'niece two centuries The world haoi lived in deeds two thousand years. Yet, mid the fall of Thrones the mighty crash Of wars exterminating, all realities That fill the drama of the actor—Man, He hath not been fergotten ; his strong hold, The empire o'er the soul, hath still been found Impregnable. Science hath raised new powers, Controlling elements ; but in his art, Oh ! sweet humanity, we all turn back, And linger on the accents of our Sage— Our Shakspeare. Truth and Nature were his handmaids, And led him curious and inquiring through The realms of human passion ; all he saw Within that mighty region, and polled forth From his vast store a stream of living knowledge, To animate, subdue, refine, exalt. Yee, Kings and Conquerors have passed away; The wealthy died, proud perished, high-bel n fallen, Leaving but names, the empty wind of fame ; Deeds, now whose very cousequents are past, Records of strife for causes swallow'd up In Time's great vortex ; is it so with thee ? The Bard, with Shakspeare ? Is it so with thee ? No ! Still we have the living Spirit with us Breathing and moving in thy progeny. There Falstaff is thy wit, Hawiet and Lear Thy deep morality, Othello thy fire, Romeo thy tenderness, and all the host, Macbeth and Richard, an unnumbered train, Still are thy genius. Immortality Hath set her seal on thee. Of other names We hear ar.d talk, revere perchance the sound ; But we live with the Poet, and converse, Holding continuous communien with him, He cannot die ! Therefore we crown thy brow With this fresh evergreen, the nearest symbol A power so poer as Time can offer thee. At the conclusion, the procession moved on to the Church, where the Epitaph inscribed on the grave-stone of Shalspeare— " Good Friends, for Jesus' sake ! forbear " To dig the dust enclosed here ; " Blest be the man that spares these stones, " And curst be he that moves my bones ;" was sung in excellent manner by amateur voca lists, the music by Dignum. The procession, at the termination of divine service, returned to the site of the intended new Theatre, which is partly erected, where the Mayor, assisted by the Corpo ration, laid the chief corner-stone in due form.— This part of the ceremonial, as well as the ;.r,And dinner to the Members of the Club in the t-ven ing, we shall give an account of in our next com munication, the express being compelled to leave the town. Shakspeare's 1111:1 is fitted up in a most superb manner for the occasion. In various parts of the room are scrolls ; over a painting of Shakspeare, upon a white ground, " We ne er shall look upon his like again ;" and above that of Garrick, " He suited the action to the word." Over the principal entrance within the hall, there is a transparency, representing the sun breaking through dark clouds, and a portrait of Shakspeare. So great has been the demand for tickets for the dinner, that a great number of in dividuals will be disappointed in obtaining admis sion. In the evening, various parts of the town will be illuminated, and several amusements, shows, &c., provided for the gratification of all classes. Tomorrow (Tuesday) there will be a public breakfast and a masquerade, in a tempo rary amphitheatre ; and on Wednesday, a con cert, ball, &c. Much surprise is manifested at the absence of the London performers, and their conduct in not being present fully and freely con trasted with that of Garrick, King, and others, who assisted in the Jubilee of 1769. RAISING THE WlND.—Fresh instances of the ingenuity of the schemers, or, as they are called in the gambling-houses, regular macers, are every day occurring, and there is no small degree of humour in some of the little every day tricks which they are in the habit of playing off. The following, which occurred the other day, is one of the many of which we frequently hear. A macer, who formerly belonged to the Com missariat, and calls himself Captain, lodged at a public-house in Fleet-street, and ran up a little bill. His wardrobe being of a very portable nature, the landlord began to get uneasy, and the landlady to look savage. The macer was too nice an observer of human nature not to guess at the cause. He took the landlord, whose credulity he had taken a very just mea sure of, aside, and eased all his fears by a pro mise " upon my honour." " All's right, Cap tain," said the landlord ; " I am satisfied that you are a gentleman." " Ah, but, my dear fellow," said the macer, " Mrs. B. is very un easy, and I'd like to quiet her mind a little."— " Ay, observed the landlord, " I wish you u , Captain." The mace'. appeared thought fulcod or a moment—" I've hit upon it," cried be, " I'll tell you what,—do you give me a sove reign to hand to Mrs. B. as part of my account. That will make her brighten up, and she won't nag you so much." This expedient, by which the smiles of the mistress of the house were to be into the hands of the macer, Propitiated, greatly pleased the landlord. He put th e sovere i gn who went to the bar, leaving mine host in the parlour, smoking his pipe, and soon raised him self in the estimation of the landlady, whom her husband heard return thanks to him with all pos sible suavity. The landlord, of course, expect ed that his customer would return to report pro gress, but not finding that to be the case, he went to the bar and asked where the Captain was. " He'll be back presently, my dear," said Mrs. B. " Well, you were right, after all, about the poor man, and I am • very sorry that I thought him a rogue." " Yes," observed the husband, " but what has he done, and where is he ?" " Don't make yourself so uneasy, my dear," said the wife, in a tone of comfort, " he'll be back instantly. He's going, poor man, to wipe away a few of his chalks ; he's ,ust going into the next street for a sovereign.' It is unnecessary to add that the macer, for whom nothing was too hot or too heavy, forgot to sleep at home that night. Mr. POPE then argued at considerable length in fa vour of private judgment. He acknowledged that every man should exercise the right according to certain rules. He should read the Scriptures with an humble submission to those moral restraints which men of learning and piety impose upon the exercise of his judgment. He was far from justify ing an exercise of private judgment, not in accord ance with those rules.—Every being was account able to God for the interpretation which he should put upon the Scriptures. A misinterpretation of the laws of the country does not justify in any indi vidual a violation of those laws. It was so with re gard to the Scriptures. If a man fall into error in reading the Sacred Scriptures, be exposea himself to the wrath of the Great Eternal. Mr. Pope pro ceeded to argue that the fact of God having endowed man with certain faculties, proved that man was en titled to the right of exercising his private judgment. He concluded a very eloquent argument by express ing his conviction that the common sense of the community would give its verdict, that private judg ment was the birth-right of every son and daughter of Adam. Mr. O'CONNELL being obliged about this time to retire, his place was occupied by Mr. Hugh O'Connor. Mr. MACUIRE, referring to the discussion of the preceding day, said the question before us yesterday was not whether the Catholic Church is the Church of Christ, but whether Christ established a Church upon , earth and endowed it with infallibility. I have quoted numerous texts to prove the doctrine of infallibility. Mr. Pope seemed either afraid or ashamed to recur to the Scripture on that subject. I have already shown that what was meant by the Church of Christ was all the Churches in the world, in communion with the Church of Rome, which was the matrix of all Christianity, as St. Cy prian calls it. Mr. Pope has endeavoured to make out a difference between the Catholic and the Roman Church. But I have already shown that the term Roman was applied to the C: - ,tholic Church to dis tinguish it from the Churches which the Heresi archs set up in opposition to it. The argument ad duced by Mr. Pope relative to the salt, is one that I would not be surprised to see coming from a Deist. The salt does not lose its essence or flavour. This was an argument that had been brought forwai fi al ready by Voltaire, and triumphantly refuted by the learned men of the day. The Roman Catholic need not look to Councils. If he is satisfied that the Church of Christ is infallible, all he has to do is to look to the texts of Scripture on the subject, which are multiplied in the Sacred Volume. Mr. Maguire applied himself then to the question of private judg ment, which he argued with great force and effect. Mr. POPE insisted that the Councils of Florence and Trent had raised the pow , r of the Pope above any Council, and that the Nicene Creed differed materially from the Creed of Pope Pius IV. Here, he said, were Councils against Councils, and creeds against creeds. He repeated, that the Church of Rome contradicted itself. He vas rejoiced to !fleet his opponent with the Scriptures. He would weigh the Church of Rome in the scales with the Bible ; and while the former went up, the latter went down. He contended, from the fact of Judea having fallen, that Christ did not intend to confer infallibility upon ins Apostles. He would not say that the Apostles were not infallible, but in so expressing himself, he did not mean tl intimate that they were infallible. He then referred to 450 harlots and 600 barbers who, he said, attended the hungry Bishops to the Council of Constance.—Such men were not fit judges of doctrine. He read a description of the state of Spain, from the Rev. Blanco White, in which it was stated that the Clergy in Spain are bordering upon Atheism—that Jews officiated there as Priests, &c.—The state of religion in Spain, he said, was like a painted sepulchre, white without, and all rottenness and death within. Mr. MAGUIRE said, he would fling back the Pro testant and Hugonot authorities, quoted by Mr. P. He was astonished to hear Mr. Pope refer to the authority of that apostate, Blanco White—a man who lived, according to his own testimony, for years in the most abominable fornication and atheism.— The statements of such a man were not worthy of belief. In reference to the 450 harlots, he discre dited his authorities. But, said Mr. Maguire, I will not pollute my lips by stating true and most dis graceful facts against the Protestant Church. He would not now refer to Henry VIII., the Virgin Elizabeth, &c. He would warn the Protestant Bishops and Clergy who possessed the green acres and the tithes, how they allowed such men as Mr. Pope to take their places. If every man were allow ed to think for hiaiself,where would be the necessity of paying 800,0001. a-year for the maintenance of the Protestant Church in this country ? If Mr. Pope's principles were established, the doing away with tithes must necessarily follow. He quoted a passage from the pamphlet of the Rev. Mr. O'Cal laghan, a Protestant clergyman, who calls upon the Protestant church to condemn such men as Messrs. Pope and Singer ; and who asks, when such men are leading the people with them, why is the Church of England silent?. Mr. Maguire proceed ed to point out the difficulties which Mr. Pope would have to encounter in endeavouring to convert the Pavan, under his principles. He then defied Mr. Pope to confute the Socinian, without violating the principle of private judgment. The remainder of the discussion turned upon this question, and was conducted with great cleverness on both sides. Mr. Maguire particularly displayed powerf u l a bility, an d a vast fund of controversial learning and research. In this day's discussion, the tact, readiness, and subtlety of Mr. Maguire was very much admired— as well as the eloquence, temper, and judiciousness of Mr. Pope. THIRD DAY. Admiral Oliver and Mr. O'Brien of Elmvale, county Clare, in the Chair. The question this day was " Purgatory." Mr. Pope spoke with great energy and eloquence; and maintained that Purgatory was a Pagan Doctrine, and referred to the 6th Book of the .T.neid, on the descent of the Trojan Hero. He also maintained, that the doctrine was absurd, inasmuch as the soul was an immaterial substance, and could not be effect ed by fire. His oratory was certainly impressive and his delivery emphatic. Mr. MAGutrtE, is evidently not what is called a set speaker. He took the argument of his antagonist point by point—and he expL:ined the texts bearing on his doctrine by the interpretation given of these texts in the volumes of the ancient Fathers of the four first centuries, which lie maintained was the doc trine of the Catholic Church. The Archbishop of Dublin was present to-day, and the room was crowded by a most respectable auditory. The question on Monday will be " the varieties of Protestantism." A young lady having given a gentleman, who was not very remaili-rble for his taste in dress, a playful slap on thi ice, he called out, " you have made my eye smart." " Indeed !" said she. " Well lam happy to have been the cause of making something smart about you." . . „.. .-, *Ali • - 'll4' ~ 4' ..,,- ... 1 i , , V.rA.7 'f'- EXECUTION 07 SA JONES , 'ie °‘- ele This unfortunate victim to seauCtion was 26 years of age, and lived with her father and mo ther, Thomas and Mary Jones, who resided in a small cottage, forming one of a row.,of houses, situated on the side of the Sirhowy tram-road, called Pye-corner, in the parish of Bassalleg, in the county of Monmouth. On Tuesday morn ing she took a farewell leave of her wretched pa rents, which she bore with considerable firmness, being the least affected of the three. A neigh bour, who spoke to her character, was, at her desire, permitted to see het the same morning? and speak to her in the Welsh language. She was particularly communicative ; detailing the circumstances most minutely which led to her present situation. She said it was not her intene tion to have destroyed the hapless infant until three months before , her confinement, whet she discovered her seducer Flook had married an , other woman ; she then formed the dia';elical plan of having her revenge in the murder of his infant. On Monday, the 23d of October, at breakfast, she found herself ill, and went up stairs ; about ten or eleven her mother came up, disturbed by her voice ; she sent her down for some fresh linen, and, whilst the mother was going down stairs, the child was born, She immediately seized one of two pen knives which were in her pocket by her bedside, and in a minute or two after the birth, gave it two gashes in the throat ; the mother coming up with the linen, she hid the body between the sacking and the bed, on some straw lying be tween, and lay on it until the Friday night. On that night Flook came to see her ; she was then down stairs in the chair ; her father asleep ; he immediately noticed the alteration in her size, on which she told him of the horrid deed she had committed, and entreated him to assist, her, by burying the body ; he consented ; and having sewed it up in some spare sacking, she gave it him through the window. She positively de clares her father knew nothing of the transac tion, till Potter, the gamekeeper, brought the body to the house ; that she had concealed her situation from her mother, denying her preg nancy, even the Sunday evening before her con finement ; and that the mother believed the child to have been still-born, up to the time of the Coroner's inquisition. Sarah Burley, a fellow prisoner, under sentence of imprisonment, for stealing money at Newport, slept with her dur ing the night ; she slept remarkably sound, being only disturbed by supposing she J saw her coffin lying by her bedside ; she asserts, she has felt ever since her sentence, the sensation of having a rope round her neck, and that she has often lifted ler hand to remove it. She slept soundly the last light, awaking about six o'clock, and on viewing he fatal spot, observed that every thine was ready .ind she was so herself. After divine service she re :eived the sacrament with seven'l other criMinals, end was from thence ushered to the drop, walking vith a steady step ; on arriving at the lodge, she uok a last farewell of several around her, ex eressing her confidence of being in a few minutes !iappy ; she then ascended the place where the xecutioner awaited her in the performance of :lis painful duty; the only observation she made was not to draw the rope too tight, and havine, kissed those around her, begged the cap might be pulled over her face ; she then stepped on the platform with firmness ; on the rope being ad , eisted, she beged the executioner to draw her Jothes tight mound her, which he did by tying 1 handkerchief; having retired, the drop fell, and in about a minute vitality ceased. After hang ing an hour, her body was - delivered to her liends, for interment at Bassalleg church-yard. ~)n its being made known that the part of her ,entence relating to tier dissection was remitted, he felt much gratified, and hoped they would at her body remain one night at her father's :louse. Two anglers were busy at their calling the ,)ther day on the banks of Lune, near Sedhergh, ~ nd while standing near each other, throwing in :heir lines at the sam.• time, both of them had a 'n'te immediately. The lines spun from the vheels at the same time, and were wound up at he same time, when after playing with the prizes or half an hour, and " drowning" their fish hey agreed to land them, but their wonder -was ‘ot trifling when they had both but one fish, .the flies had floated on the stream together, and he unfortunate fish had gorged both hooks ! Carlisle Patriot. BRITISH PEARLS.—The river Conway, in :sl'ortli Wales, was of considerable importancs given before the Roman invasion, for the pear, nuscle (the illyamargatipera of Linnaeus) andl Suetonius acknowledged, that one of his induce aients for undertaking the subjugation of Wales was, the Pearl Fishers' carried forward in that. :iver. According to Pliny, the muscles called he natives (Kregindilin), were sought for with lvidity by the Romanc, and the pearls found 7N. them hich t iis ass w e r e t r e e d h t hitt: Juliusvalued Caesar of dedicated breast-plate, set with British pearls, to Venus Genetrix, and placed it in her temple at Rome. Suetonius imputes Ccesar s invasion of Britain to his desire of enriching himself with the pearls round in different parts of the coast. The pearls most in request with the ancients, were those collected in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Persia, and the Indian Ocean ; the next in value were the British, tinged on the surface with a colour resembling gold, but, in general, of a dark hue, n t Indian. aer n 0 r o), Camden jr i 1 t p n e d aks less o f t . ra p i e l , s i i r ) l a s re f i found in Cumberland, and in the British Sea. Mr. P en nant, in his tour in Scotland, 1769, mentions t than a considerable pearl fishery out of the fresh-water muscle, in the vicinity of Perth, from whence 10,000/. worth was sent to London, from 1761 1769. But when that ingenious traveller visited Scotland, the fishery was almost ex hausted. There 'is a passage in Pliny that shows the esteem in which the Oriental pearl was held at Rome. " Pearls," he says, " are imported in such quantities from the Arabian Sea, that Rome was annually drained of an itn moderate sum by the inhabitants of the East, and the Peninsular of India ; so much do our finery and our women cost us annually." This proves what Tacitus says : when so much en couragement was given, the avarice of British merchants would not be deficient. Their pearls, therefore, were of an inferior sort. A fine specimen of pearl, from the river Conway, is said to have been presented to Catherine, con sort of Charles 11., by Sir Richard Wynne, of Gwydir ; and it is further said, that the same river has since contributed to adorn the regal crown of England. Lady Newborough pos. sessed a good collection of the Conway pearls, which she purchased of those who were fortu nate enough to find them, as there is no regular fishery at present. The late Sir Robert Vaughan had obtained a sufficient number to appear at Court with a button and loop to his hat, formed of these beautiful productions, about the yea:- 1780.
