This Sauce was originally prepared by an eminent English Physician, residing in India, where it sig nalised i tse lf i n an extraordinary manner for its richness, fulness, Piquancy, and strong digestive properties. In India it main tained a celebrity previously unknown among sauces, and was there considered indispensably requisite, with every kind of fish, 'neat, game, made dishes, or curries. As a stimulant to the ap petite it is unequalled, possessing a smartness not met with in any other condiment, and is strongly recommended by the Fa catty, for its purity and fine tonic property. These are original and rare qualities combined ; cons equently, bon vivants, the Clubs at the west-end, and all persons of good taste, pronounce the Emperor of China's Sauce to be the finest in the world. Sold, wholesale, and for exportation, by D. Morse, the sole proivieter and manufacturer, 16, Cullum-street, London ; and retailed by all respectable chemists, grocers, oilmen and frui terers, throughout the United Kingdom. CABINET UPHOLSTERY and BED DING, at the CABINET-MAKERS' TRADING SOCIETY, 71, LEADENHALL-STREET, enrolled agree ably to Act of Parliament ; being the Manufacturers in all its branches. The system upon which this is conducted precludes the pos sibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as no house in London can manufacture at their prices. The Society wishes it to be thoroughly understood that they do not receive hawked goods for sale, like the baracers and haber dashers, but they make every article themselves, which enables teem confidently to warrant their goods of the best materials, and if any fault appears within twelve months, it will be made good free of charge. A trial is earnestly solicited of those about to furnish, as the only criterion by which the merits and de aided advantage of purchasing at this establishmen scan be fairlo estimated. The funds of this Society provide for the members in sick ness, old age, and burial ; they therefore sincerely hope that thoir humble endeavours will meet with public patronage. Estimates given, and orders punctually executed ; and lists of prices may be had, , from which the following is an extract • Mahogany lounging chairs, covered with leather, with spring seats, 455. each ; mahogany chairs in horse-hair seating, 134.9 d. each ; Trafalgar, 17s. 6d. ditto ; mahogany sofas, 90s. each ; m u llegany Pembroke tables, 21s. ; mahogany four-post bed steabls, 60s. ; tent ditto, 20s. ; furniture, ditto, 20s. ; japanned chairs, 25.; cane-seat ditto, 3s. 6d. ; japanned stands and dress ing -table,:. 6s. each ; japanned drawers, 345. each ; mahogany ditto, 44g; i feather beds and mattresses, warranted free from dust or smell, or the money returned ; solid rose-wood chairs, ' stuffed with horse-hair, from 255. each ; couches , 6/. 10s. ; ditto 100 tables, from 4/. 10s. ; mahogany ditto, 70s. each; fancy chairs, 7s. 6d. each.

On Tithes.—Quarterly Re __ •" Thou view, No. 53. New Trans'ation :—" A tenth thou shalt tenth, of all the increase of thy seed." Note—Onkelos, the most eminent of all the learned Rabbis, who lived before the dispersion of the Hebrews, and consequently made the translation of the Sacred Volume into Chaldee at that period when the Hebrew was a national language, he thus translates the clause—gnasaara tignsarah, " a tenth thou shalt tenth," which is the same as the Hebrew. The Septuagint 3EX27OV a7:iostal - xo - E1 (both Alexandrine and Vatican) " a tenth thou shalt tenth." The learned Selden, Le Clerc, and other great authorities on tithes, say—" It is not likely that the Levites should have had a tenth of the whole produce of the land, because the number of the tribe of Levi, compared with the numbers of the other tribes, was so trifling. Neither could it be of all the produce of the land, but of the increase of the seed : as it is truly said in the common version : for the increase mist necessarily have been that part of the produce after the seed employed to give the increase, had been returned to the grower out of the gross produce ; otherwise it could not have been said it was the " in crease of the seed." " The Council of Calcuith, or Calchite, held in 785, or, ac cording to others, in 787, on account of erecting Lichfield into an Archbishopric, ratified the Canons of a Synod that had been convened just before in Northumberland. Gregory and Theophilact, who presided as the Pope's Legates, acknow ledged, in their letter to the Pope, that they were the first that had been sent into England with that character. The follow ing are some of the Canons of the Synod of Northumberland, 'ratified by the Council of Calcuith Bth. The ancient privileges of the Church are carefully to be preserved. The 17th urges the payment of Tithes from the authority of the Law of Moses. Ethelwulph's reign furnishes us with a subject, which, though mentioned elsewhere, it will not be amiss to repeat a little more largely of in this place; I mean the grant of Tithes. The Charter runs thu : " 'I, Ethelwulph, by the grace of God, &c., have, for the health of my soul, and good of my people, taken the prudent resolution of granting the tenth part of all the lands throughout my whole kingdom to the Church and Ministers of Religion, &c. &c.—Dated the Palace at Wilton, in the year 854, Indic tion the second, at the Feast of Easter." The terms, date, and subsc ri p tion of the Charter, have in duced several ' learned men to believe it spurious. But without entering into the controversy, I shall content myself with ob serving-, that long before this Charter the Clergy of England claimed a right to the Tithes, if they were not already in actual possession of them. This is evident from the 17th Canon of the Council of Calcuith, held in 785, where we find they urged the payment of Tithes from the Law of Moses. If this Char ter, therefore, is not to be considered a forgery, it seems at least to be of very doubtful authority. Add to this, that by the tenth part of the lands must necessarily be meant the tenth part of the profits ", which must be owned to be a very forced inter pretation, especially in a primordial Act such as this."—Page 111, Rapin's History of England. From the above readings the following scale is deducible : Allowing agricultural produce to realise thirty per cent., which is absolute—tithe impost to be included —and increase being considered synonymous with produce —a tenth is 131. per cent. Here we must observe we think the imposition of three half pence in every shilling quartern loaf a severe infliction for our spiritual edification. Albeit it would almost pass without a murmur, but that our hallowed Faith enjoins us " To feed the hungry—and its denunciations are upon those who are unmind ful of " the child of misery baptised in tears." Ethelwulph's Charter.—A tenth of the profit, 31. per cent. Hebrew. New Translation. —A tenth of a tenth taken on produce, 265. per cent. Hebrew.—A tenth of a tenth, on the increase or profit, 6s. per cent. We cull from the "blaze of eloquence" of immortal Milton the epitaph for the patron of this work—" Revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the worse." "In the House of Lords, the debate being on the state of Ireland, the Earl of Liverpool said, The Noble Lord had in sisted on tithes, a property to which the Church had a right. He could not go quite the length of his Noble Friend, and be lieved that ultimately the question must come under the con sideration of Parliament. '—( Hear, hear.)—See Morning Herald, June 20, 1823. There is the recorded vote of the House of Commons to 10 per cent. property or income tax ! being oppressive. Under the operation of the property tax an esquire whose principal of 10,0001. netted him 500/. per annum, paid to the State 50/., under the operation of the tithe composition, an out lay of 5001. subjects the cultivator to the same 50/. ; this, in deed, is " th' oppressors wrongs ;" but thank GM, we seem to outlive this. Mr. Hodges wished to ask the Noble Lord the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce in that House, or the other House of Parliament, a Bill to amend and explain the Tithe Commutation Act? Lord J. Russell was understood to say that it was the inten tion of Government to introduce a Bill for that purpose.—The Sun, June 14, 1839.

Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. No. 36, OLD BOND-STREET. EYESIGHT and DEFECTIVE HEAR ING.—Mr. ELIA-SOLOMONS' VOICE CON DUCTORS for DEAF PERSONS have been eminently successful in the most extreme cases of defective hearing; are worn unperceived, being constructed on a smaller scale than any hitherto offered, mea suring only one quarter of an inch in diameter; possess the peculiar power o f conveying the slightest sound with accurrte affording at the same time tha greatest ease and assistance in all cases of Deafness. The success of his Amber Spectacles (the exclusive disposal of hich is sec".red to his house by Royal Letters Patent) has induced parties to offer publicly as a new invention, professing to relieve Vi sion, Deafness, and CATARACT WI'T'HOUT OPERATION, common glasses of many years' standing ground on the principle of the meniscus lens (employed for spectacles forty y ears ago), which are highly injurious to the sight. These quack and absurd misrepresen tations might have been safely allowed to pass um, otieed ; but as the names of some apothecaries and others are used, it behot es one to in quire by what means their signatures have been obt tit ed (if obtained at all) as sanctioning a direct untruth, by procla.ining such as "Newly-invented Spectacles," which are unansweral ly nothing more than common glasses of a pink or reddish tint. This fact may be easily asce_tained by applying to Mr. REARDON, SPECTACLE GLASS MANUFACTURER, residing at 42, Easton-street, Ex mo,l.h-street, Clerk enwell; wt ere the newly-invented Spectacle L , 2lis s are purchased at 7s. per dozen pairs, or a single pair at Mr. E.'s establishment for Is. .....

TIIE LATE FLOOD.—The effects of the late flood, in loosening and washing away the banks of the Severn, have been disastrous. _ _ . Mrs. GORE'S NEW NOVEL.—" A " fashion able novel" of the Court of Charles 11, from the pen of Mrs. Gore, must needs be a very piquant affair, when we call to mind who were the fashionables of that day, name ly, the Hamiltons, Rochesters, Buckinghams, Jermyns, Grammonts, the Castlemains, Clevelands, Stuarts, Churchills, &c. ; but the " Courtier of the Days of Charles II." is something more and better than this ; it is, in fact, a singularly impressive story of the most romantic times, as regards the personal chances and changes they brought about, of any recorded in English annals. In force of character, depth of interest, and brilliant de lineation of the manners and modes of life of the time, Mrs. Gore, has in this instance equalled the best of the previous works. THE ARMY.—Reeruiting for the army is going on briskly in Ipswich and neighbourhood. The parties in the Ipswich Recruiting Subdivision are enlisting young men under 18 years of age, at 5 feet 5 inches in height ; and above 18 at a standard of 5 feet 6 inches. Parties of the 21st Fusiliers, 43d Light Infantry, 70th Foot, 94th Foot, and 98th Foot, are stationed at Bury it. Edmund's; of the 20th Foot, 43d Light Infantry, and Ist battalion of Rifle Brigade at Cambridge ; of the ht and 2d battalions t,f Rate Brigade at Sudbury; of the 21st Fusiliers, at Colchester; of the 98th Foot, at Woodbridge and Brain tree ; and of the 12th Foot, 30th Foot, 46th Foot, and Ist battalions Rifle Brigade in Ipswich. The bounty of recruits has been raised to 3/. 17s. Gd. as an inducement to many to enlist, and the regiments of the line which are to be completed to the establishment of 800 men are rapidly filling up.—Szujo/k Herald. DREADFUL ACClDENT.—Thursday morning about eight o'clock, a lad, named Battle, in the employ. ment of Mr. White, farrier, Lancaster-mews, Button crescent, was taking two horses home which had been shod, when the led horse started off at full speed, and before the lad could loose the rein, which he had twisted round his band, he was dragged off the horse ho was rid ing, aild along the ground a considerable distance. He i had several of his ribs fractured, his right arm broken a little above the wrist, and a severe gash on the cheek, idlietad by the horse's hoof. He lies in a very precarious state. NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.—We have frequently called the attention of our readers to the subject of life assurance, and its utility and benefit when founded on right principles, and conducted with a duo regard to the interests of those for whose be hoof they are established. The groat object of the above institution is to secure, as far as possible, that no after misfortune during life shall prevent the assured from reap in; the full benefit of his contributions, and to exclude the possibility of forfeiture. This it accomplishes by lend ing back to the assured, as circumstances may require, to the extent of two-thirda of all previous contribu tions. A person insured at this office, therefore, has always a fund at command to provide against periods of temporary misfortune during his life, besides securing to his family at his death the usual benefits of a life policy. The Society's scheme of deferred annuities, whereby a provision is made, not at death, but at a certain fixed pe riod in after life, is calculated to be of very great service to the working classes, as well by giving their savings the most profitable investment, as by fostering in them habits of prudence and frugality. The same principle o f g i v i ng back two-thirds of all previous contr ibutions likewise per tains to this scheme ; so that the industrious operative has in this Society always nia sick-money ready for his neces sity, besides a comfortal> l .e provision for his old age. This society is repitlty extending its branches throughout the empire', and we believe its success will contribute much to the welfare and peaceable habits of the operative popula tion.—Soottish Pilot. YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY. — The traffic on this line is on the increase, and already far exceeds the expectations of the Directors. En the month of June 11,783 passengers were conveyed on the line, and in the month of July the number was 16,089. Not only in passengers, but also in merchandise the traffic was very e xtensive. In June 4037 tons of goods were carried on the line, and in July s,276.—Railway Times, WATERING OF THE STREETS IN THE CITY. Several complaints have lately been made to -the MLigistrates of the City of London by the owners of omnibuses and stage coaches in consequence of the slippery state of the streets in the great thoroughfares. The complainants state that those who are employed to tv-Iter the streets use just as much water as makes the pavement like s t much ice to the poor horses, and re present that if a good quantity were scattered about there would be no accidents from slipping. They par ticularly complained of Holborn-hill and Ludgate-hill as places in which the wet is most severely felt, notwith standing the skilful manner in which the stones are laid down. Our correspondent's experience enables him to confirm this account given by the owners of the poor horses, which suffer so much in ascending each of these hills. It is an undisputed fact that the great majority of the street obstructions which take place are all attributable to the falls which the toiling cattle get in consequence of the defective mode of watering alluded to ; and it has been often observed that in very wet weather, although vehicles of all kinds are more in requisition than when there is no fall of rain, the stop pages are incomparably less numerous. Application is we understand also to be made to the Commissioners of Sewers upon the subject, Alderman Gibbs, who resides in the heart of the City, and whose activity and zeal in contributing to the comforts of his fellow-citizens are duly appreciated, is the Chairman of the Commission, and as he is now in town, it would he advisable in those who are most interested to submit the matter to his management. We are convinced that many horses have been, by the falls they have got in ascending and descending the two hills, rendered totally useless to their owners, not to say a word about the cruelty to the poor animals. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A large woman, of very formidable appearance, was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having committed the ugly assault of spitting in the eye of a rival oyster woman, named Mary Hill. The defendant, who said that her name was Nance Young, was introduced to his Lordship as the terror of that pattern for all neighbourhoods, Whitechapel Mar ket. The policeman by whom she was escorted to the Justice-room, said that the moment she appeared with a little drop in her eye there was an end to their func tion of peace-making, and the d—l himself was but a mere baby compared to her. Mrs. Hill said, that being rather thirsty, she went into a neighbouring public-house for a drop of water, which she considered to be the most wholesome drink in the morning. As Mrs. Young entertained very dif ferent opinions on the subject, they were not quite fit for each other's company, and Mrs. Young tried to pro voke her to fight, by reflecting upon the drinkers of Adam's ale, and, finding that bad language would not accomplish her object, gave her what she called a " spectoration "on the left eye. As soon as she got her eye clear of the treat, she called for the police, but Mrs. Young got hold of her, and both went down to gether in the pugilistic style, the big one uppermost. There was no additional evidence as to the assault but multitudes were present who begged that Mrs. Young might be removed from the plane for ever, as nothing could resist her temper or strength. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mrs. Young, so we are to be constantly annoyed by you ? Mrs. Young—Arrah, thin, God knows it's meselt that's abused by such varmint. There aint a quieter nor a better conducted lamb in this town nor meself ; and I'm sure I'd rather take a beating a thousand times nor give one, God help me. But this is what I get for my kindness. The LORD MAYoR—Do you call the brutal offence of spitting in this woman's face a kindness ? Airs. Young—Ah, then, its meself that didn't think of such a thing. All I did was to offer her a drop of beer I was drinking meself, and the d--1 a drop she'd take in friendship. Mrs. Hill—lt was a very nice way to give a lady a drop of beer, for to go and take a mouthful, and let it fly through her teeth into my eye.( Laughter.) Mrs.Young—Oh, the Lord save us, my good womP,n ; you don't say that, do you ? Well, you surprise, ; me ; but you see, my Lord, in my country when wo' - re trying any liquor to see whether it's good, we've a way of run ing it round our mouth and squirting it out, so that the good woman might have got a little o f it un k nowns t. ' " _ A policeman:--My Lord, she says to us that she does not care a pin about a man, and she snaps her fingers at us. Mrs. Young—. God bless the man, I never said such a thing ; sure aint we made for each other—don't we just fit ?—(Laughter.) Why there is meself and my husband. If I didn't care for the man, do you think him and me would be so comfortable together? The LORD MAYOR-Your husband is not able, if I am informed rightly, to manage you. Mrs. Young—Faith, he has managed me these four and twenty years, and I hope he'll manage me for twenty years more ; if not, by my sowl, I'll try and manage him.—( Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—WaII, he must come and bail you, for I shall not let you go without receiving secu rity that you will not offend the neighbourhood any more. I dare say you will find it difficult to prevail upon him. Mrs. Young—Oh, Lord bless your Honour, he'll never be happy till I'm with him again. " Peg, dear (to a dirty-faced girl), fetch Bill." The husband made his appearance in due time. He was a tall lank Chelsea pensioner, who had evidently seen a great deal of service—since he came home. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, my good man, do you know what you are going to do ? The pensioner stared at the Lord Mayor, and then at his wife. Airs. Young—_Arrah, then, to be sure he knows what he's going to do, your Honour. (In an under tone, to her husband)—Why the hell don't you speak up, ould Snooks ?—(A laugh.) The Pensioner—Oh, your Lordship, I am ready to bail my wife ; she's a very good woman. The LORD MAYOR-Take care what you are about. You are to become responsible for her future conduct ; and if she commits another breach of the peace you will be imprisoned if you don't pay 401. The poor man looked terrified, and again turned round to his wife, who had prepared her face for him. After giving him a poke with her elbow, she said to him, in what is called a pig's whisper, " 'Why the d—l don't you tell him you aren't afeared ?" The Pensioner (with a very dejected visage)—l an't afraid of her, your Lordship ; she won't do no harm. Will you, Nance ? Mrs. Young—Harm! no ; I'll do no more harm nor you can do ; and God knows that's not much.—(A laugh.) The LORD Alnvou—Well, you may take her away with you now ; but I would advise you to leave that neighbourhood. Mrs. Young—Yes, your honour, we'll quit it altoge ther, for they're such a blackguard set about it that no decent respectable Irish people can go through the street without being mislested ; and I return your Honour thanks for serving them out so properly.—(A laugh.) The veteran soldier and his wife then left the police room, but the poor husband appeared not at all to reli'h the serious manner in which the Lord Mayor described '.he nature of the responsibility in which he was held. ARTIFICIAL IVORY.—Certain parties in Slief• field have just obtained a patent for the making of a sub. stance so nearly resembling ivory, and so applicable to al the purposes of that valuable material, that it is almost im possible to detect the difference. We have not ourselves seen the mock ivory, but we are told that, in one instance, a working cutler had a quantity of scales given out to him, consisting partly of the fictitious compound, and partly of ivory, and that he used them in hafting his knives, and re turned his work without discovering the difference. We understand that an imitation tortoiseshell is prepared and in use, which, for some purposes, is little inferior to same varieties of the real article. It may be expected, there fore, that the quadruped and the reptile, for which our ar tists have hitherto been indebted for the precious substances above-named, will henceforth be " left alone in their glory," the former of his tusks and the latter of his cuirass.—Shegield Iris.

Sydney Smith. TILE APPROACHING HARVEST.--The wheats have been much less laid than might have been expected, from the heavy rains and high winds, and almost every where give promise of an average crop. The' eats and barley crops are very muc h i mproved since the rain ; in deed there is every p rospect of a most York Cot rant. plentiful harvest.— (From the York Corrant.) In his palmy days, he was in?eetbr to none and the skill and courage which ho displayed procured him the jockeyship of the first horses of the day, from the best of the breed of the celebrated John Hutchinson, down to those 'of Mr. Watt. and Mr. Pere. He pos sessed great nerve, although - rather timorous at the first onset. He bad a good seat and a good head: looked well upon the saddle ; was strong in the arms, and possessed the skill of reserving the powers of his horse until the very moment when they were the most te quired, and when he brought them into successful operation. Resolute and untiring, he possessed correct judgment and discrimination ; and, increasing in courage as the race became more desperate, he was yet averse to pushing his horse beyond the reach of his physical powers, and invariably acted with feelings of humanity when he saw that the chance of winning was lost. Jackson was the most successful rider in the St. Leger -race ; and won that great event no less than eight times, viz., in the year 1791, on Mr. Hutchinson's Young Tra. yeller ; in 1794, on Mr. Hutchinson's Beningbrough ; in 1796, on Mr. Cookson's Ambrosio ; in 1798, on Sir T. Gascoyne's Symmetry ; in 1805, on Mr. Mellish's Staveley ; in 1813, on Mr. Watt's Altisidora ; in 1815, on Sir W. Maxwell's Fitho da Puta ; and in 1822, on Mr. Petre's Theodore. Nor was his successful career confined to the St. Leger ; for at other meetings be won many of the principal stakes and matches in a matr terly style. To his other winnings of the St. Leger would hive been added Mr. Watt's Blacklock, had he not incautiously pulled him up, opposite the Grand Stand, being confident all his competitors were defeated, and not seeing the approach of Mr. Peirse's horse, Ebor, until it was to; late to get Blacklock into his full stride again in sufficient time, although he shot past Ebor as,seen as he bad got beyond the post. Jackson was much blamed for this ; but the fact was, that he did not see Mr. Piersc's horse, and was, if anything, too confident of the race, and checked his own horse when he ought not, in that race at least, to have been checked at all. But perhaps the most successful feat of Jackson was, when he was appointed to ride Mr. Petre's Theodore for the St. Leger, in 1822. Theodore, who bad run successfully at two years old, was defeated a few weeks previously to the decision of the St. Leger ; and from being high in the betting scale, he was knocked down to the lowest point. In proof of how much be had sunk in public estimation, it need only be mentioned, that, on the morning of the race, a hundred guineas to a walking stick of the vahre of one shilling was laid against him, and taken. J ac k son was sa dl y mort ifi e d at his chance for the race, and was very desirous of riding one of Mr. Gascoigne's horses, either the colt or the filly, and declared that he could win upon either one or the other. But his chance was unalterably fixed upon Theodore. The extraordinary success which ensued will be seen. He was extremely low spirited during the whole of the forenoon, especially when he knew the state of the odds ; and at length grew rather ill tempered. As the time drew near, he walked to the ground with his saddle at his back, in no very enviable frame of mind, and was weighed in due course. On inquiring afterwards if any one had seen Mr. Petrc—or his groom, or his horse—he was answered in the nega tive. He then proceeded into the field and repeated his inquiries there with the like success. At length he discovered a horse at the far side of the field, led by a little stable boy. He thought that it must be his horse Theodore. He trudged across the lands, and approach ing the boy said—" Is that Mr. Petre's horse, my boy ?" " Yes, Sir," was the answer. " Bring him here,' said the veteran, " and pull off his clothes directly ;" and proceeded to adjust his saddle, to strip himself to his riding dress, &c. The little boy assisted him to mount, and be recrossed the field in the direction of the course. When he was passing the rubbing-house, a gentleman asked " What horse is that ?" " Mr. Petre's Theodore," said another. " What will you lay against him ?" "A hundred guineas to one." " Done,"—" Done," and the bet was booked. Jackson heard this, and looked not very pleasant—in fact, he was mortified, and ill-tem pered ; and had, even previous to that, let Theodore feel that he had his spurs on. But Theodore was all alive, remarkably fresh, and ready for the struggle. In fact, he had done little in the way of exercise since his previous defeats, and was almost wholly disregarded. Whilst parading in front of the grand stand, the objects of universal notice were the first favourites Mr. Watt's Mut:, and Marion, Mr. Gascoine's colt and filly, Mr, Powlett's Swap, Mr. Riddle's The Whig, &c. whil s t Theodore was little noticed by any one. taking n t kbai goodbodyg th y r e place,le Lockwood, andat Jackson,ni n o s f t r oa i nd a nt. way iTioce they e p wordnr, 0 0 : a ut: c s h 6:e e od d d f :r theobtaini n gw a sTheo dor e p ost given m mediately. The pace was very fast, Jackson was sur prised at his own position ; and afterwards observed, in allusion to this extraordinary race, that, " when we got to the first crofts road, I had lost all my iil temper and mortification—l turned my head for a moment—a crowd of horses (twenty-twu) were close at my heels—the sight was terrific—the speed was tremendous. Theodore pulled hard, and I held him pretty tight,' now, my little fellow,' said Ito myself, keep up this speed to the top of I the hill, and I don't care a straw for the whole lot.' I felt as strong as a giant, and the blood rusked merrily through my veins—away we went—l was first over the hill, and never headed in any part of the race." Imme diately after descending the bill, however, he eased hies horse a little ; and was instantly on the look out for sonic of the favourites. He could see that Swap, a grey horse, was defeated. Not so the others. They challenged him in turns, first Marion, then Gascoigne's colt and filly, right, and left—then Muta,—then Gas coimne's again ; and here the skill an d j u d gmen t o f Jackson were powerfully evinced. Theodore, peathaps, partly frightened by the tremendous thunder at his heels, still wanted to go further a head, but his rider so continued to use his powers as not to waste them. Challenge after challenge was given, and as often de feated. Jackson never suffered his horse to go much in advance of the rest. Holding him with a firm hand, but still going very fast, he only slackened the reins when he was attempted to be coupled. " I could,' said the veteran jockey, see head by head advance as far as my boots on each side, and when I encouraged Theodore forwards I could see head by head glide backwards out of my sight, observing, to myself (said he) Now, I think you are all done. 1 felt then that the race was my own, as I heard the exhilarating sounds, from the Grand Stand as I approached, Theodore— Theodore—Mr. P e tre—Jackson—Theodore wins,' '° which he did is the most gallant and skilful manner by nearly a length, to the perfect astonishment of all the betting men and of the immense crowd of spectators who honoured Jackson with three loud and hearty cheers as he approached the scales to be weighed. Jackson was highly praised by all parties for the superior jockeyship—his caution, skill, resolution, and correct judgment,—which he evinced in this extrordi nary struggle ; and as it was his last successful effort in this far-famed and matchless race, it may be considered as crowning all his exertions during a long, an interest ing, and eventful period of horse racing. He rode seve ral times afterwards ; but age was stealing silently upon him. At that time he ci'ltivated the farm at Broom field, near Northallerton, and had a numerous faMily. He afterwards occupied the Black Swan and St. Leger Hotel ,in the same town ; and expired on the sth instant in the 71st year of his age ; and has left behind him a name, as a skilful and resolute jockey, which will be long associated with the brightest events recorded in the annals of the good old English cast= of horse-racing.

" All the King's—( Henry the Eighth's)—proeeedings convincing the Pope that he was to expect no change in him, he published at length the Bull of Excommunication, drawn, and signed in 1535. As soon as Henry heard of the Bull being published, he required the Bishops and Abbots to swear again to renounce the Papal authority. At the same time, the new translation of the Bible being presented to him, he ordered 1,500 copies to be printed, being satisfied that nothing would be found there to support the exhorbitant power assumed by the Pope over all Christendom. " Grafton, the printer, printed 1,500 at his own charge, which amounted to 5001. !' —History of England, by Rapin, p. 819. He, who by a diligent and faithful examination of the ori ginal records, diminishes from the system one article which con tradicts the apprehension, the experience, or the reasoning of mankind, does more towards recommending the belief, and, with the belief, the influence of Christianity to the understandings and consciences of serious inquirers, and through them to uni versal reception and authority, than can be effected by a thou sand contenders for creeds ordinances of human establish ment."—Paley. " Patriotism is a scandal us game, played by public men for private ends, and frequently little better than a selfish struggle for power. " He must be a narrow-minded, short-sighted-statesman, who does not see and acknowledge that National Morality, pro ceeding from religious principle, is essential to the peace, the prosperity, the permanency of this and every Christian country. " No man upon earth, I trust, can have more enlarged sen timents of toleration than I have, but the Church of Rome is a persecuting Church, and it is our interest and ditty, on every principle of religion and common sense, to guard ourselves against her machinations." " Give every Bishop income enough, not for display of worldly pomp and fashionable luxury, but to enable him to maintain works of charity, and to make a decent provision for his family ; but, having done these things for him, take from him all hopes of a translation by equalizing the bishoprics. Oblige him to a longer residence in his diocese than is usually prac tised, that he may do the proper work of a Bishop ; that he may direct and inspect the flock of Chri t ; that by his exhor tations he may confirm the unstable, by his admonitions reclaim the reprobate, and by the purity of his life render religion amiable and interesting to all. ' We do not allow that there are any infal'ible interpreters of the Bible, on the contrary, we maintain, that Fathers, Churches, and Councils, have erred in their interpretation of this book, in their decision concerning particular points of faith. This we must as Protestants maintain, or we cannot justify our having emancipated ourselves from the bondage of the Church of Rome."—P. 117, Bishop Watson's Life. " University Education." " The great resorts and seats of learning often outlive in this way the intentions of founders, as the world outgrows them. Our Universities are, in a great measure, become cisterns ‘ to hold, not conduits, to disperse, knowledge. The age has the start of them, that is, other sources of knowledge have been opened since their formation, to which the world have had access, and have drank plentifully at these living fountains, from which they are debarred by the tenor of their Charter, and as a matter of dignity and privilege. All that has been invented or thought in the last two hundred years they take no cognizance of, or as little as possible, they are above it, they stand upon the ancient land-marks, and will not budge, whatever was known when they were endowed, they are still in profound and lofty ignorance of."—Hazlitt's Table Talk: also, the Examiner, Jan. 20, 1823.

" We observe in a pamphlet, ' Anti-Diest,' published by Mr. Bellamy, that Exodus, c. iii, v. 22, is a gross mistransla tion. He notices a number of other errors in the translation of the Bible now in use, equally hostile to the true meaning of the writers. It is not a little curious, that many of these mis translated passages, which give meanings in direct opposition to the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo logians as any in the whole took, and long commentaries have been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821.
