HEAD. ment of the negligence of the Spiritual Peers in Parlia ment, whose duty it is with holy jealousy to labour to remove them. " I humbly entreat you, my Lord, not to enforce them, or act upon them—but rather to use your influ ence in Parliament to promote a mitigation of these in tolerant enactments, in which the string of human pre rogative is stretched tighter than the 6th Article permits. " It has been well observed, that we ought to treat the defects of our laws with as much tenderness as we would treat the wounds of a sick child. This is just. But there is such a thing as drawin out a tooth—and there is such a thin.- as cutting *pea limb. In such cases of necessity, the fi'rmness and dexterity of the sur geon must be superadded to •the tenderness of a friend. And so it must be with regard to the alteration of our laws. " If, therefore, it be an arduous or an inconvenient task which I have entreated your Lordship to under take, it is nevertheless a necessary one. Anti-Chris tian stains ought not to be suffered to remain on the face of our laws and. establishment, merely because it is inconvenient to our Bishops and Clergy to wipe them away. ing an alarm concerning Roman Popery. The Right Reverend "Prelate has been apprising his clergy that her Majesty's Government are patronising Papists in Aus tralia and Upper Canada ; but withal the Right Rev. Prelate is endeavouring to impose upon our consciences as heavy a burden as any that a Papist could bind upon us. The Right Rev. Prelate has raked up a few anti- Christian statutes, virtually obsolete, because inconsis tent with the general tenor of our laws and religion. By threats and intimidations 'drawn from these raise= rable statutes (which it is the Right Rev. Prelate's duty in his place in Parliament to endeavour to rectify), bc is endeavouring to force upon o ur consc i ences a b urden no less intolerale than that of Popery itself. " Brethren; if .we, the clergy ; of the Church of Enr HoNiTaN, OcT. 8, IB39.—The quiet borough of - loniton bad its propriety somewhat disturbed yesterday by the visit and visitation Of Bishop Phillpotts. It was expected that the Rev. H. E. Head would receive a severe admonition touching his soul's excesses in the matter of setting up the Open Bible above the canons of the Church. It is worthy of remark, in limine, that whilit Bishop Phil potts takes his stand on the open' Bible ii the House of Lords for the purpose of advancing the Interests Of his political party, here, in his own diocese, a gtowing party take their stand on the same open Bible against him. The public are not fully acquainted with , the quar rel between Phillpotts and his sulgirdirtte brother, and with your permission I will briefly state the facts : Phillpotts issued, in the course of his vocation, a circular commanding the clergy to perform certain duties, which the Rector of Feniton considered to be contrary to Scrip ture. He addressed a letter to the Bishop, demanding his authority for making this call, and treated the Bishop in that letter with a want of ceremony which his subor dinate station did not warrant. Mr. Head is a mild benevolent man, exceedingly beloved by his parish.: ioners, of simple habits, and most enthusiastic tempera ment. He yielded to a conscientious conviction of the truth, or what he felt to be the truth, and replied to the Bishop accordingly. This reply was, in manner and mat ter, a breach of clerical discipline, and on reflection, Me. Head felt regret and deep anxiety to make that atone-) ment which a conscientious man would do when sa tisfied that he had done wrong. He apologised to the Bishop, and the friends of the Prelate have most indus triously spread the report that he had recanted the doc trines on which the reply was based. But the fact was that he made atonement for the disrespectful manner in which he had entered his protest againSt the Bishop, call-. ing on him to do that which he believed to be opposed to Scripture. But Mr. Head took proper means to set' hiMself right here in 'the diocese, by printi ng , w ith hi s name attached, a recapitulation of his principles on the point in question, which was addressed to the Bishop. A repetition of the offence in an unexceptionable form had its due effect upon the Prelate, who took the oppor tunity of his visitation to discharge a regular pamphlet against the misguided Rector. Mr. Head took this as it was doubtlessly intended, and replied 'in a very spirited manner, taking his stand upon the 4 ! Oracles of God." The fact that the Rev. Mr. Head and the Bishop were to meet face to thee drew some attention to the Honiton visitation; but it was not sufficient to fill the church. :The Bishop appeared in company 'with his se cretary, Mr. Ralph Barnes ; his chaplain son-in-law, the Rev. Mr. Stephens; the Archdeacon of Exeter and a general gathering . of the priesthood. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Conybeare, the geologist ; it was a well-written production, but rather severe on Phillpotts, as it went to show the mode in which St. Paul discharged his episcopal and ministerial duties, and which it may safely be said is widely different from that of the good Prelate of Exeter. However the Bishop took it in good part. After the Bishop's benediction he proceeded to the altar, headed by his arace• bearer, and followed by his Secretary. Here he took his seat on a throne brought within the railing for the occasion, and turning his back to the Divine command which was inscribed on the wall—" Go ye therefore and teach all Rations, baptising them," &c., proceeded to open the preliminary business. This being done, the names of the clergy were called over—the good Bishop giving a patronising boW and the blandest of smiles to each as he replied. Mr. Head was standing immediately in front, and when his name was called the Bishop bowed with the meekest grace to the recusant Rector, and told him that after he bad delivered the charge he had something to say to him. The preliminaries having been completed, 'the throne was moved nearer to the centre of the altar, and Bishop Phillpotts proceeded to de liver the Charge, which on a former • occasion called forth the animadversiOns of The Sun. As soon as he had concluded, the Rev. H. E. Head stood forward for the purpose of addressing his Lordship, but a ge neral rush of persons, official and unofficial, was made towards him. The throne was pushed aside, the Bi land are to be burdened with the ,intolerable .yoke oi human tradition in points of doctrine, like the ass in the fable, we may inquire what does it signify to us whether our minds are held in bondage by the bulls of the Bishop of Rome or the threats of the Bishop of E xeter . L earn, brethren, . learn to put a difference b e t ween t h e com mandment of God and the command of your Bishop. '" Your Lordship will pardon me if I inquire how it is thatyour Lerdship.omits,also to threaten the rigid en forcement of that statute of ,Queen Elizabeth which awards ' deprivation to ministers who preach doctrines contrary to the Thirty-nine Articles ? If this statute were to be enforced, E the pulpit i n many a c h urch, the throne in m an y a cathedral, will be vacant. Many of our Bishops and. clergy will be expelled from their sta tions their flacks will he in the same predicament as thetroops of the Israelitish king, of whom it was said, These have, no. masters ;' the divines of the Oxford school, among the rest, will certainly be deprived of their benefices. Will the sermons of the reverend gen tlemen who have been so zealous in criminating me— will yogi-, Lordship's own sermons bear the test of the Thirty-nine Articles, those 'fundamental principles of our • Church ? This question; my Lord, should be answered to . the public before you proceed to those extremities which you threaten. What if you yourself, my Lord Bishop, can be proved to be liable to deprivation under the 12th chapter of the 13th statute 'of Queen Elizabeth, for preaching doe trine contrary, and -repugnant to the Thirty-nine Arti cles ? I myself have heard your LOrdship preach doc trine both contrary and repugnant to the 11th Article, which'teacher that we are justified 'by faith only.' I have heard your Lordship preach contrary to the 17th Article, which teaches the indefectible security of the saints of God. Other discrepancies - between your Lord ship's preaching and the Thirty-nine Articles might be pointed oat. Show, then, my Lord, to other men, that toleration which you need yourself. " That your Lordship should be persechted for these discrepancies is what I by no means desire. If any calamity were to befal your Lordship, no man in the diocese would mourn for it more than I should. All disaffection to your Lordship's person—all impatience of your Lordship's authority, I disclaim. I have denied a Bishop's right to glorify a scarlet .coloured throne at the expense of'the Gospel ; to terrify timid men into an un holy subjection; and to push away the doctrines of the Bible to make room for the doctrines of men ; but I do not deny his la"wful'authority. Accordingly, here I stand, in all due subjection, to answer any complaints against me in your "Lcirdship's presence. Let me anticipate some of these complaints, by observing that I have made no secret of my opinions concerning certain passages in. the baptismal 'service. It was 'suggested to the long ago that I should procure these services to be pei formed by a curate, that I might thus escape the anti-Christian rigour which I have already spoken of. But I felt arid 'feel that I do not need this expedient in such a righteous cause. As long as I ern Rector pf Honiton, and do the duties.Of the parish, I will, by the help of the Althighty, perform the baptisms myself, and•in a manner. consistent with His word, and with the general tenor.of my ordination vows. " My Lord, I sincerely respect your Lordship in many points of your administration ; I respect that in flexible love of just dealing which you have manifested in some instances. I respect that ardent zeal by which, doubtless, you mean to uphold much that is lovely, and of good report. Nor would I withhold, nor have I ever intended to withhold, any of the resp et that is due to You—that respect would be increased, if your Lordship were to endeavour to reform, in your place in Parlia ment, some Of the oppressive enactments, some :of the flagrant inconsistencies, of our ecclesiastical laws. .." In the meantime, my 'Lord, with all due respect for your age and station ; with all love for your person ; with all . tenderness for your feelings—l inttcat your Lordship, as a father, not to threaten clergymen of the Church of England with excommunication,' merely because they refuse to lend themselvei to the propaga tion of doctrines, :contrary, to. Scripture, to, the Thirty nine Articles, and to common sense. .These threat enings,' my Lord, may remind us of St. Paul before his conversion, but they form no' part 'of his character after he had become, an ,Apostle. In vain, my Lord, we ransack the histories of the twelve blessed Apostles of the Lamb, of God for a precedent for • such intoler ance and coercion or consciences. I implore , your Lordship not to force your clergy to obscure the clear doctrine s of the Scripture, in order to give lustre to the doctrines of men. I implore your Lordship to pause before you openly pass that Rubicon which constitutes the boundary between Protestantism and Popery. I implore your Lordship to pause before you avowedly abandon that ' great leadin g p r i nc ipl e o f a P r o testant Church—the all-sufficiency of Scripture as a rule of faith. I implore your Lordship to pause before - you place openly, avowedly, deliberately, and decidedly, traditions of men instead of Scripture, and the sacra 'netts instead of Christ. " My Lord, it is no degradation to superiors to listen to the counsel of their-inferiors. Christian ethics de mand this condescension at your hands. All of' you he subject one to another.' I Peter, v. Naaman, the Syrian, listeued to the counsel of his servants, and wen was it for him that he did so. 4My father,' they said, ' you had better do so and so, far such and such rea sons.' Other heathen officers might have com manded these servants to be cut in pieces for their temerity. Not so with Naaman, the re generating grace of God appears to have touched his heart, therefore he paused, he reflected, and at length said, 'My friends 'you say well—there is reason in what you say. I will follow your advice.' This placability in a great heathen general is one of the most amiable features in ancient history. " On thiS principle, my Lord, the principle by which a subordinate man may sometimes offer his advice to his superior, I implore your Lordship, for the sake of the empire in whose counsels you bear a part, for the sake of the Gospel which you reverence, and for the sake of the Establishment which you love—to lend a favourable ear to the counsel that I have laid before you—a coun sel which it is competent to me as a Church minister to offer—counsel which will be no degradation 'to your Lordship to receive. " But if your Lordship is resolved to turn a deaf and a contemptuous ear to all my arguments,' remonstrances, public and private suggestions, protestations, and en treaties—if you only reply, I excommunicate you, I suspend you' —to all the clear testimonies of Scripture which I adduce—it only remains for me humbly to as sure your Lordship, that, by the help of the Almighty, no menace whatever shall make me swerve from that Protestant 'pledge which I gave to the ecclesiastical au thorities at my ordination, that I would make Scripture my paramount guide. "In conclusion, my Lord, I feel obliged to protest, and do protest, against your Lordship's intimidating lan guage. I protest against it as a pa l pa bl e i nstance o spi ritual usurpation and spiritual tyranny. I protest against it as a transgression of the ' lawful authority of a Bishop contrary to liberty of conscience, and contrary to the principles of Protestanism ; contrary to the spi rit of the British laws, and contrary to the letter of the 6th Article of the Church ; contrary to the Apostle Paul, who forbids you to exercise dominion over 4 Christian man's faith, 2 Cor. 1 ; and contrary to the Apostle 'Peter, who forbids you thus to lord it over God's heritage. " And, my Lord, I pray that the Almighty may show more mercy to your Lordship than your Lord.:' ship seems disposed to show to the free-born minds andl heaven-born consciences of Britons and Christians. • " And now, Rev. Brethren, suffer me to address my self to you. I will not trouble you with many Worth-- I would merely say a few words in my own. defence. Misrepresentations have gone forth concerning me. 1 have been prejudiced and prejudged. Variou i s publiea • tions have been written in deprecation of my principles. —whether in a charitable strain, or whether. in a eliffe. rent strain I will not inquire ; I would only remark that the character of haste is impressed upon them all ; not that haste which will sometimes hurry a man into a few unguarded expressions in the heat of a just remon strance, and in a righteo s s cause—hut that haste which makes a partial judge *Univiiiing to weigh and examine the defence of him whim he is predetermined to condemn. • " I will . give you an instance out of many.

One day his owner came :o him, saying, Make haste and come along —you tardy creature, don't you hear that 'sound ? It is the enemy's trumpet. We shall be taken prisoners.' The ass replied, What's that to me ? What do I care for the enemy's trumpet ? He will make me carry a burden—'-you will make Me do the Sarno. What does it signify to me whether I carry a but - den for him or for you ?' " my Lord, one would suppose from your Lordship's language, that it is abject baseuesa' to preach against error, and good churchmanship to up hold it, " A Protestant Bishop, one would suppose, would open the Bible, and say to his clergy I require you to preach these doctrines, because they aro in this holy book ;' but your Lordship opens the Prayer-book, and you say to your clergy these . are the doctrines to which you have subscribed ; preach against them at your peril.' " Now, in' order to show that your Lordship lays an anti-Protestant stress upon some p o i n t s o f t h e Prayer book, and th a t we, the : . clergy, are justified in preaching against error, even though that error be found in the Prayer-book itself, I beg leave to refer to ordination vows 1 and 3, and art. 6. shop stepped . forth from the holy altar with wonder ful alacrity, smiling and looking as bland as a brides maid.

The organ struck up, and the church was immediately cleared. " ' Are you persuaded that the Holy Scriptures con tain sufficiently all doctrine required of necessity for eternal salvation, through faith in Jesus Christ ? And are you determined out of the said Scriptures to in struct the people committed to your charge, and to teach nothing (as required of necessity to eternal sal vation) but that which you shall be persuaded maybe. concluded and Raved by the Scripture ?—I am so per suaded,' &c. 4 " Will you be ready, with all faithful diligence, to banish.and drive away all erroneous and strange doc trine contrary to God's word ?'

On this principle I have acted, do act, and, by the help OlGod, will continue to act, not in theory, but in practice —not in pretence, my Lord, but in truth.

INTERVIEW OF MR. HEAD WITH THE BISHOP. In the evening Mr. Head met the. Bishop at the Dol phin Inn, whither his Lordship and the clergy retired to dine. His Lordship sent for Mr. Head at five o'clock, and I understand that the following dialogue took place between them : Bishop—Have you any friend that you wish to be present ?• _ _ - Mr. Head—l have a friend above, my Lord. Bishop—l do not wish to lay a trap for you—your replies may be brought against you. I will even say that I will proceed in the present business or not, as you think best. Do . you decline any further investigation ? —if so, no harsh construction shall be put upon your thus declining. Mr. Head Your Lordship will use your °y in pleasure. Bishop—Do you avow yourself tile writer of this pamphlet? [Producing the letter published with Mr. Head's name.] Men generally avow their own works, and at all times, and in all.companies. Mr. Head—My Lcrd, your Lordship refused to hear me in a church, and• I beg to decline answering you in a tavern. It is said that the Bishop's conduct to Mr. Head was kind in the extreme, and calculated to win the confi• deuce of any man who was not armed with a strong.de termination to resist it. MR. HEAD'S PROTEST. Mr. Head has issued the following "protest," as the substance of what he purposed to have said in reply to the Bishop, if he had been permitted to speak : " PROTEST. " My Lord—The matter at issue between your Lord ship and myself is not so much a point of law as a point of divinity. The sPiFit of the British laws, not withstanding some inconsistent statutes which require altc.ration, .is to 'be considered as intending to exalt the doctrines IzirScripture above the doctrines of men. The 6th Article:is established by Act of Parliament—that Article declares that whatever is not proved by Scrip ture is not required of any man to be believed.' The question, then, is, what can be proved by Scripture, and what cannot ? Here then we find that the law loses itself in theology ; and the question must be de termined, not by the counsellor, but by the divine. According to the 39 Articles, the Bishops of the Church of England have no right whatever to force upon men's consciences doctrines which cannot be proved by Scripture. This is precisely What your Lord ship is now doing by threats and intimidations. In so doing, my Lord, you are clearly overstepping the bounds of your episcopal authority. " TO use the phrase of Bishop Latimer, the autho rity of the 'Bishops of the Church of England, in mat ters of faith, especially, must be hedged in and ditched i n . 'They must hear rule indeed —hut this mutt he ac cording to the word of God: 66 My.Lord,.l beg to observe concerning those tyran nical statutes which have been quoted, in order to eli minate me, that they:are inconsistent with the 6th Ar ticle—that_thoy are repugnant to that liberty, that re ligious liberty , berewith Christ hatli made us free; that they are calculated to entangle the minds of tnen in Ei reo.,t vii,erable yoke of bondag e , t b at they a re a disgrace, and not a defence of an 'establishme nt , a monu- KNUTSFORD RACES.-WEDNESDAY.

The authorities interfered to prevent it ; .the bull-baiters persisted in carrying forward their brutal amusement ; a.contest en sued, and blood flowed in many directions. So violent was the excitement that the military were sent for from Bolton ; but, fortunately, the quarrel was suppressed without their assistance. We condemn as vehemently as persons can the brutal amusement of the Chow benters, but the amusement of the authorities seems to us still more brutal. It is bad to bait a bull, but it is worse .to. beat men and women. A Lord, with a bad habit,•is never beaten out of i If a body of the middle classes were to indulge in a vicious propensity, the au- thorities would think it a case for the admonition of the clergy, but the lower classes are not to be reasoned with ; they are at once commanded to give up an idle or vicious pursuit, and failing to obey, are cudgelled into obedience.. The authorities are less humane than the brutal people. The latter only baited a bull, the former baited and beat their fellow-creatures. No long time has elapsed since hull-baiting and other similar amusements were encouraged by the gentry and were considered truly old English sports. Because theyjmve given up the brutality, they are not warranted in thumping those who have not yet followed their.good example; DEAFNESS.—We are happy to announce that Mr. Cronin hits returned to his residence, 6, Colonnade. This gentleman has justly been called, by most of our provincial contemporaries, " the celebrated atvist"—a compliment he richly deserves. If he continues as suc cessful in the performance of cures as be has been during the past month in our town, we hesitate not to assert that he will gain the reputation of being the most celebrated aurist in the kingdom. We are at all times opposed to puffs ; and bad we not experienced great benefit from this gentleman's treatment, we should refrain from speaking of him in such high terms. —C'heltenhanz Chronicle. We are informed that Mr. C. may now be consulted at his residence, 11, South ampton-row, Russell-square. ENGLAND IN 1839.—The old style of English hospitality (which means " Receive all those you know") is fast passing by, we regret to say. People winter at watering places, or, what is worse, out of England— there they do nothing for their friends, but get a cargo of exclusives from London for a 'Short time ! Witness Belvoir Castle, Grimsthorpe, Apethorpe Wynyard, &e. ANTIQUITY OF RAILWAYS AND GAS.—Rail ways were . used in Northumberla n d in 1633, and Lord Keeper North mentions them in 1671 in his journey to that county. A Mr. Spedding, coal-a gent to L or d Lonsdale, at Whitehaven, in 1765, had the gas from his Lordship's coal•pits conveyed by pipes into his office, for the purpose of liehti@g it ; and proposed to the Magis trates of Whitehaven to convey the gas by pipes through the streets to light the town, which they refused. EMIGRATION To NEW ZEALAND We are informed that the Chevalier Dillon (1), late French Consul at New Zealand, intends to cpen New Zealand House of agency in Broad -street, City, where the best information can be obtained by persons desirous to emigrate to that island. He has been — for thirty years in constant intercourse with New Zealand and other islands in the Pacific. It was he who first established the Church Missionaries at the Bay pf Islands. He speaks the native lan guages, and has great influence over the various islanders, and possesses extensive tracts of land, and numerous herdS of black cattle, horses, &c. &c., on some of the islands. That gentleman intends shortly to lay on three ships for freight and passage to New Zealand, and to go out these himself by the first ship ; he therefore invites emi grants to join him.' .They wiil have a fair opportu oify of choosing such land as thpy•require in the coun try, and of making their own bargains with the native Chiefs, under the sanction of Lieutenant-Governor Hobson, lately bent out by the British Government ; or he proposes to supply such settlers with land from :2s. 6d. to .ss. per acre. Labourers can be procured from the Australian Co lonies at the rate of 51. per head passage money, and for half that amount from the adjacent islands (2). He also proposes to supply his passengers with a breed of horses, cows, bullocks, and Merino sheep, on very moderate terms. Should the emigrants not wish to reside in New Zea land after visiting that country, they can retire to New South Wales with their cash and the goods intended for barter at New Zealand. In the former colony there is a large and profitable field open for enterprising and indnstrious emigrants. (1) And Company. (2) Whereas the passage of each person from this country of the above class to New Zealand, amounts to upwards of 201. PENNY POSTAGE versus CARRIAGE AND PORTERAGE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sett—Although much has benn said and written upon the first of the above subjects, 310 not remember to have seen the two last touched upon, as to of the manner in which they are likely to be affected by the former: Coach proprietors are some of them very stiff and obsti nate in their charges for parcels, although they ought to be aware of the contrivances that tradesmen in the country are obliged to resort to, by getting several par cels enclosed in one general package, to- escape in some measure the heavy charges for carriage, particularly cn small parcels. There is also another system connected with the conveyance of parcels, which almost amounts to a prohibition of correspondence with the metropolis, at least it sadly diminishes profits on small orders. I mean where a change of coaches takes place,* as for in stance at Exeter, where, if a parcel is sent to the water ing-places branching from thence, as Sidmouth, Dawlish, Teignmouth, &c., the transfer and extra carriage for the last stage amounts to as much as the charge from London to Exeter,. The same thing may be said of the places branching from Canterbury, Coventry, and other considerable towns. Again; on the- score .of porterage, parcels coming from the country to London are often charged nearly as much for what is misnamed porterage as the expense of coach conveyance a hundred miles, at more than double the rate of the " London Con veyance Company." " Ay," says a book-keeper, but we charge by Act of Parliament?". Be •it so—the charges of the latter Company, and the business-they are doing, proves that the Legislature contemplated actual portercge when they gave the scale of chargds, and not the conveyances by • horse ind- cart from the various coach and waggon offices. I will, however, close this communication by the supposition that as the postage of all letters will be confined to one penny, tradesmen will be induced to Write to London much more frequently ; and the quantity of small parcels being increased the expense of carriage must be, in a❑ equal ratio, decreased, or some contrivance of the public will find a way of obviating the incubus upon• prompt add frequent communication. •Iloping that •these remarks may be thought worthy a place in your paper, and lead to the benefit of " all whom it may concern." I am, Sir, Your obliged and constant Reader, P. Q. It is no uncommon tlling where a parcel has to pass from one coach to another, although they both start from one office, to charge porterage and booking for the transfer, and that pretty heavily, especially in passing through the metropolis. [The porterage on small parcels is Bd., besides Ij. carriage, such par ce l s o f ten conta i n i ng only a letter.or slips of paper, which at the present rate of poatage would only cost from 6d. to a Is. altogether.—ED. Suick] THEATRES. CO VENT-GARDEN. A hazardoua, but by no means an unsuccessful, effort was. made here last night to perform Sheridan's School for Scandal. The scenery and dresses were perfect, and the audience were agreeably taken back to the time when the comedy was first brought out, 1777. Vestris, of course, played Lady Teazle, and on the whole very pleasingly. Her assumption of coaxing was decidedly the most successful part of her impersonation; where the young country lady with her newly-inspired passion for the glitter and gaiety of fashionable town life were to be represented, the finished face and ai sured manner of the fair Manageress perhaps a little marred the effect. Vestris, we thought, did not quite look the character. With regard to Farr en ' s Si r P eter Teazle, while some o f our brother critics declare that it was last night even better than usual, others protest that he over-acted as well as misconceived his part. The audience, however, greatly cheered him, and we think deservedly. Mathews was the busy, well-natured. little-thinking rollicker, but he did not exactly pour Sheridan's refinement into his own activity. Cooper played Joseph Surface with considerable cleverness, but with too much apparent evenness of temperament and voice. Keeley dressed and imitated the action of the JeW admirably but he has not quite caught the pci culiar accent of the peculiar people : he is a trifle too foreign. Bartley's Sir Oliver Surface was frank, hearty, and boisterous. Mr. Meadows played Crabtree, and Harley Si'r Benjamin Backbite. The house was wesl j filled, and all things seem to augur well for a good season. • HAYMARKET THEATRE. Brother Torn, orffly Dear Relations —a very near relation by the way of the new afterpiece Alive and illerrs, was successfully prOduced here yesterday. The• best, and the most like an original rcene in the piece, was that in which Captain Ja,^,k , is speaking of his late brother, and fancies, when he. scans Brother Tom sit ting- before him, that he is a ghost. A.ll the rest of the farce, which is lively and bustling, was made up of the calculations and 'squabbles of the different interested and heartless relOons as to how they should dispose of Brother Turn's property amongst them. The relations were personated by Mr. Buckstone, Mrs. W. Clifford, Mrs. Gallott, and Mr. Bishop. Theyhad very little to Rio ;. but that little they .performed well. The farce con• eludes with a marriage between a young lady and an editor of a now paper, the Alarming Crisis. ADEL PH I THEATRE. Mr. Rice,, the veritable Jim Crow, whO is scraper cadent, made his re-appearance here last night, in what is called the " celebrated Black Opera" (Bone Squash Diabolo). Squash is a, very miserable specimen of the f'ree nigger of Atnerica who, being unsuccessful in his avocation as a chimney sweep, nnd somewhat of a phi losopher, resolves to sell himself to the enemy of man, and to live a short liftz and a merry„. He declares his purpose in a song ,of most singularly, qu::er character, to which a broken horse-la Ugh serves as chorus, and those conic contortions 'Of dailee; for which Mr. Rice is also uotcd. afford a rounding - -embellisliment.. His wish is He beco mes master of 200..flullars-- . courts, marries, and gambles—loses the price of him self, and goes quickly to the regions below. -The hetitse was well filled, and the audience well humoured. • AST LEY' S. We yesterday witnessed a private exhibition of the extraordinary performances of Mr. Carter, the Ame rican " Lion King," at this popular place of public amusement. The control which Mr. Carter •pos sesses over his menagerie, which includes a magnificent Numidian lion and lioness, Brazilian tigers, leopards, &c. far exceeds that of Van Amburgh, andis calculated to excite the utmost astonishment, not untri'Xed with terror. There arc three cages placed on the stage, and in front of th ese a large comp ar t ment i s fenced off by a rather slight wi re screen, about 12 - reel high. Mr. Carter, after " bearding the lion in his.den," and encountering the tiger in single combat, brings the animals into this open space in front of the. cages, where they arc corn paril: ively free, and .there exhibits his extraordinary power over them in a variety of ways. Not the least interesting part of the exhibition - is the harnessing of the majestic lion to a triumphal car, which Mr. Carter drives with al! the dignity of the conqueror of this heretofore `'untam'abl'e king of the forest. Mr. Duerom, with his usual zeal and indus try in catering 'f or t h e pu bli c amusem ent, has made in the pre sen t i ns t ance w h at. " we calculate" will prove a lucky hi:. 'Th e en t er t a i n ments .were varied by tho wonderful perf o r rn in co s of the elephant, &c., and eli cited the marked applause of a large 'party of friends, among whom were several proprietors of theatres, m ost probably speculating upon the advantages of 'the reVer. lion of Mr. Carter and his menagerie.

Ono evil attendant upon the habit of procrastination isotled it produces a certain dissatisfaction of the -mind vvl gat impedes and deranges the animal functions, and tetoat to prevent the attainment of a high state of health. A perception of what is right, followed by a liromptne4 of execution; would render the er:ay of life-perfectly smooth Children should be 'told to do nothinc , but what.is rea sonable, but they should he t a u g ht t o do what they are told at once. The habit will stand them in stead all their lives. The second weakness is when we have Made a good resolution, and have partially failed in executing; it, we are very apt to abandon it altogether. For in stance if a person, who has 'been accustomed to rise at ten, resolves to rise at six, and,oafter a few euCcessful attempts, happens to sleep till seven, there is great danger that he will relapse into his former habit, or pro, bably go beyond it, and lie till coon. It is the same with resolutions as to economy, cr tempeilancee or any.o thing else ; if we cannot do all we intended, or make on o slip, we are apt to give up entirely. New what We , should aim at is, always to do the best we can, undfr: existing circumstances; and then our progrees,"with exception of slight interruptions, would be continual The third and last weakness to which I allude, is, t h,, practice of eating and drinking tbings•beeause they are on the table, and especially wen they are to be p a ;d for. How seldom it *pens that two triO:teletiVe'a glasses of wine in aedecanter at a'coffetehtnisei though they 1,„•,;;both had enough ! and• th e c ensequenee not doing . so is freqetently to order a fresh . supply ; but, :.‘t any rate,. even the first small excels is pern;:cious. - E xcess , howeVer slight, either in solids or licit-,ids, de ranges the powers of digestion, and of course dimi nishes the. full 'benefit of any meal. It often induce: an indisposition to move, and so one excess leads to an other. What is called a second appetite is generated ; ind, the proper bounds being once passed, it is not easy to fix another li m i t . Th e i mportance in a man's life of stopping at enough is quite incalculable ; and to be guilty of excess for the reason I have just mentioned, though very common, is the height of folly. A very small quantity will cause-tire difference between spending the remainder of the day profitably or, agreeably and.in I dolence and dissipatiort.-7We'Orig;nal. 9 • A GIANT FOR JONATHAN.—Sit Thom; , Elyot, nnbestor of the late Earl of Sr. Germains, 'nil compiler of the first Latin and English DiPtionnrY, ..tallblished in folio, about 1539, tolls irettat "'At Luy ehureb," some labOurers, in dioging, discovered . the ske kton cfa.mhe quite perredt,,, in lergth am. feete, an the teethe were each of tele'bifenesse ri a•man's thumb," A SkERFIY.:--Thb Dublin Erfn; 21 ,7 POSE, on :lye authority of a gentlemen, lately nrrivid from ee e lO ee states:'"the qeano • it ; ty of sherry Wines exported. entlit by a/few of the most respectable houses from th e fa of .hznuar: to this 31st of Augez.t . th'e /eir; Valieh:artiectht to nearly 10,0e0 L utts; aflinrinfehtl 4 tribe, who shin le - ge quantitic, wine u.. ,ql - /r - ttretrivne of sherry wirve "R` x 414,
