I TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS, October '26. --•-- [MORNING HERALD.] _ _ There are still most afflicting accounts from Spain. Independently of the grief and alarm ex cited in Madrid by the authentic accounts from Barcelona on the one side, and Malaga on the other, the enemies of the present Government circulate fabricated news of the bursting of the contagion beyond the. sanitory lines, by which a most wanton and inhuman shock was given to the public mind. One rumour announced that the distemper had passed from Catalonia into Arragon, Murcia, and Valencia, and that the inhabitants of those provinces were flying in all directions to escape being bound w i thin the sanitory • cordon, an imprisonment regarded with the ut most horror. The agitation upon the reception of this news at Madrid was dreadful—comparable .only to the state of mind in a crowded theatre upon a cry of fire: The id;_a was that the flying inhabitants would 'scatter the contagion over the capital and the 'Whole kingdom. The French medical men, who so generously devoted them selves to the interests of science and humanity, had arrived at Barcelona, the chief seat of the disease. Their arrival caused 'a g leam of joy over the wretched population. hey report the number of deaths there of the yellow •fever at 12,000. They arrived on the 9th, sent off their despatches on the 10th- instant, ind had already commenced their heroic mission. We find repeated, under the date of Berlin, a. rumour respecting an important proposal of the Emperor of Russia, titer an interval of some months. The report is, that his Russian Ma jesty' has proposed to the Allied Powers a vast plan for the 're-establishment of the ancient kingdom of Poland in its utmost integrity— requiring at the same time, of coarse, that Austria and Prussia should restore their re spective shares of that barbarously dismem bered nation. This appeared rather a singular project on the part of Russia when first put forth. The revival of it, however, is brought more within the ordinary policy of that power by the annexed statement, that the Emperor Alexander requires, as an equivalent, the esta blishment of an Eastern Throne, occupied by a Christian, and, of course, a Russian Prince. The Cabinets, however, of England and Austria insist upon the inviolability of the Turkish Em pire in Europe. [MORNING tiIItONICLE.I The Meeting at the:City of London Tavern 'was numerous and high-11 respectable, such as the paramount importance of its subject de- Inanded. The injustice which has called.fortb this demonstration of feeling was, indeed, of so glaring a nature, that there are few countries of Europe in which the account of it has not been received with surprise. The sound and inde pendent part of the People of England, by corn ing forward in this manner, to atone, as far as they can, for the injustice committed by a Go vernment over which they. have, unfortunately no controul, and which is controuled neither by law nor discretion, afford a proof that the recol lections of better times are not lost on them, and that they are alive to what their duty demands from them on so important an occasion. If pas sion were not always blind, we might wonder why Ministers should have so causelessly thrown this slur on the Army. They have at once de prived themselves of all the influence which the supposed independence. of the Votes of Officers might on any occasion give them. [sionNING rosT.] The .City Meeting, as it is called from the place where it was held, rather than from the company of which it. was composed,, took place yesterday, for the purpose of recommending Sir Robert. Wilson's case to the generosity of our great commercial capitalists. Our readers Will naturally suppose that a,City Meeting must have been attended by men of weight and consequence in the Metropolis itself---by the Merchants and Bankers of the City—by the Leadinc , Men in City.politics—in- short by. persons who would 'give such an assembly some share of character 'with the Country. What then must he their as tonishment whenthey shalt learn that the whole charge of representing the .City upon this occa sion fell upon the shoulders of honest Mr. Faye'', .of Common Council notoriety! Without a single helpmate from his own boon companions, was he obliged to toil beneath a load, rather increased than lightened by the presettce of Mr. Ifume, Mr. G. Bennett,. Mr. Lambtou, and Dr. Lushington.— Even Alderman WTood absolutely withheld the benefit of his wisdom, the Knight of the Cause way being, no doubt, in search of fresh adven tures. Frcm whatever cause the absence of those worthies may have originated, -we are-quite sure that they will regret it upon reading the report ; 'of the 'proceedings. They haire true Alderrnanic 1 appetites - for the tit bits of sedition, and the most 1 torpid palate might have been stimulated by the food whiCh this meeting supplied. With the exception of Mr. Hume (who merely promised, with a grave face, to prove in law that the King's prerogative. gave his Majesty no power over the officers of his Army !) the Gentlemen whom we have enumerated thought proper, to indulge tlAeir usual propensities to such art extent, as implied. little less than utter, conteMpt and defiance of all . law. No one 'indeed could ' expect that they would suffer such a golden opportunity for libelling the Go .vernment of their country to he thrown away. 'But they have carried their andacity farther. They - - have no longer attacked the Monarch in his advisers : they havo openly, bravely they will perhaps call it,-waged war upon their Sove reign himself. It is to 64 his persecution and tyranny " that they have chosen to ascribe the late exercise of his Prerogative, - audit is now .or him personally that they demand reparation . and self-apasement ! , V HE The conduct an result of yesterday's meeting on the case of Sir R, Wilson were such as to make the heart of every honest Englishman glow with manly . pleasure. Where 'sensibility is be coming, and the expression of it useftil, the people of England know how to feel and act. We have long been satisfied bow deep and general w as the indignation produced by this last act of power. But an assemblage of respectable citizens like that at the City of London Tavern was requisite perhaps to display to the public at large the Tull force of the sentiment so excited. The order and decorum of the meeting were not more owing to the impartial and judicious conduct of the able and eloquent Chairmalt (Mr. Lambtou), than to the good sense and right feeling of the great body of individuals present. The Radicals, as they are called, had no share in the proceedings of the .day. Gale Jones's ,offer to address the Chair was received with general hootings. Not only was the unjust mode of punishment which had been resorted to against the Gallant Officer described, and universally condemned as it ought to have been, but its injustice in fact, or in other words, the impossibility that Sir Robert Wilson could have been guilty of any of the offences which rumour had ascribed to him, was made clear as light by Mr. Ellice an 4 Mr. Hume. The former of these Gentletteu had tra velled with Sir Robert - Wilson from Paris, and arrived in London with him at five o'clock on the afternoon of the 13th of Au gust ; having been on the French roads at the time when Sir Robert was said to have been in an ale-house at Kensington, plotting impediments to the Royal Funeral. Mr. Hume, on the other hand, declared that the - Gallant General had never left his side for 10 minutes during the whole of the 1-Ith of August. So much for the other set of stories. Where is " notoriety" now?— What becomes now of that exquisite piece of logic, that a•person against whom there is no charge, must prove that he ought not to be pu nished ? Shame on such deeds and on such ad vocates ! The subscription for Sir Robert Wilson bids fair to be as liberal as the design of it is just and noble. We learn with satisfaction also, that. whatever surplus May remain beyond the sum re quired for the principal object, is to be bestowed on the 'destitute families of Honey and Francis, who were slain on that unhappy day on which the Gallant Officer sinned beyond forgiveness, by his efforts to save many other's of his countrymen from perishing through the same violence. ENEW 'owes.] - It is so lonk since we have had Public Meet ings and Speeches from such Gentlemen as Mr. Lambton and the Honourable Mr. Grey Bennet, that we almost feel obliged to Sir Robert Wilson for having afforded us the occasion for such a treat. The oratory most in repute on such occasions is such as must carry conviction to every man's bosom. It is impossible to doubt, or dispute, or deny con clusions which are so logically hung to their pre mises. "If Sir Robert Nilson has been injured he ought to be compensated. If an armed soldiery are to be allowed to act.blindly at the will of the Crown, there is an end of our Liberties. If we are to be told that the only qualities necessary in a soldier are implicit obedience and the disavowal of all Constitutional feelings, then has England, the boasted land of freedom, no longer au exist ence !"- • How true all this! and how instructive ! Then- comes the very ancient discovery that this country is making a " slow but sure" progress to l a Military Despotism! ! ! This fact, it is true, does not quite accord with the other discovery of Mr. Hume's, that we have Twelve Thousand Officers on Half-pay : one would think that 1 the Military Despot—(by-the-by, who is he ?) would have had the wit to put all his Officers on Full-pay. However, military despotism goes trippingly enough off the tongue, and it is as plauSible and almost as true as the nursery tales of the Ogres that lived entirely on little chil dren. One thing surprises us at this meeting, considering the known liberality of principle which the leading Gentlemen present profess ; we are unable to understand why that very re spectable orator, Mr. John Gale Jones, was not suffered to harangue. lie would, we have not the least doubt, have talked as learnedly and perhaps as loud as any other orator, on the mili tary despotism, and the atrocity of Ministers. It was indeed extremely unfair not to give him his share of the pleasures of the day, for a pleasure he would, no doubt, have felt it to be cheered and huzzaed, whenever he uttered a sentence of extraordinary folly and fury. [BRITISH PRESS.] It is at length tardily admitted in the Irish Papers, that the Gentry of the County of Li-1 tnerick have been hitherto very remiss in not exerting themselves at an early stage of the dis turbances to seize and punish the rioters. Some inquiry is also talked of, for the purpose of as certaining the causes of the disorders. Should the Government have the courage to proceed with such an inquiry, it will, we are satisfied, be found, that the outrages have no connection whatsoever with politics, in the ordinary ac ceptation of the expression. They may, in deed, have arisen as an almost necessary consequence from the corruption of the Go vernment, as it is shewn in the general ad ministration of power within the county ; but who that knows any thing about the affairs of that country does not laugh at seeing it gravely urged by a writer in a Morning Ministerial Pa per, that there is a close connection between the few raggamuffins, who, to the eternal disgrace of the local Magistracy, infest a part of the county of Limerick, and (risuin teneatis) the Carbonari of Naples ! . When the army of Andalusia first declared in favour of the Constitution and the Cortes, the Viscount Chateaubtiand, indulging his excessive fancy, formed a chain that united the Spanish soldiers with the Blanketeers of Manchester, and there were persons silly enough, even in this country, to extol the wisdom of this literary dreamer. With a similar spirit a few miserable robbers in the County of Limerick are now associated in a community of interest with a body of men in a far distant country, whose real purposes seem to be as little. understood by the slavish advocates of despotic power in this country, as their exist ence is likely to be known by their new allies in the of Ireland - . The sup poEition of such as union, proceeding, from a writer by no means deficient in learning and intelligence, blit'de voted to the purposes of his party, comes forth, we doubt not, more for the purpose of discredit ing the Carbonari of Italy than of illustrating the principles of the marauders of Limerick. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH; OCT. 25. oGnr.N 'AND OTHERS V. WADDINGTON AND °TITERS. This was an action of assumpsit brought by the direction of the Vice-Chancellor, for money had and received by the defend ants to tile plaintiffs' use. The question involved was one of considerable importance, namely, 'hether the plaintiffs, as natural born subjects of the United 'States of America, could recover from the defendants, British subjects, the proceeds of certain merchandio shipped to this country to the defend ants for sale, for the plaintiffs' account, during , the late Ameri can war,the proceeds having come the defendants' hands after preliminaries of peace had been signed between this country and the United States. The case stated being defective in some ma felial and disputed Ihets, the Court declined entering into the argument until the case was ripe for decision, and therefore directed it to - be amended. SOLI. Y V. WHIT )Iqllt. This was an action upon a policy of insurance on the ship Seaman, loss averred to be by perils of the seas. At the trial before the Lord Chief Justice, at the Sittings in London, after last Hilary Term, the plaintiff had a verdict, subject to the opi nion of this Court upon a special case. The policy was upon the vessel in question at and from Hull, to her port or ports of landing in the Baltic Sea and the Guiph of Finland, with li berty to touch and stay at any ports and places whatever and wheresoever, and particularly at Elsinore,without being deemed a deviation. The ship sailed from Hull, with packages to be delivered at Elsinore, Dantzic, and Pillau, the latter being her intended port of landing. She touched. at Elsinore And Dant zic respectively, and delivered the packages deidined to those places, and on her voyage to Pillau she was lost in sight of that port. The question for.theopinion of the Court was, whether Pillau, being her port of landing, she was at liberty to go to Elsinore and Dantzic, for the purpose of delivering the goods in question, without being deemed guilty of a deviation ? Mr. POLLOCK was for the plaintiff, and Mr. PULLER for the defendant. _ _ _ • . . . . . The COURT was of opinion, that the policy did not cover the risk of going to deliver at those places, for it was a policy to cover only a voyage at and from her port of lading, and there fore judgment was given for defendant. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, the Chief Magistrate of the Public-office Bow-street, and Mr. DAY, the Conductor of the Police Horse Patrole Establish ment, inspected the Dismounted Horse Patrole yesterday, at the back of Whitehall Chapel. They are a set of strong and active men, are well disciplined and armed, and since the short period of their being appointed (whiCh is•not above nine months) have been of most beneficial service to the public in.the environs of the metropolis, not only in apprehending felons and other offenders, but by their activity and exertions, by night and day, they have prevented many depredations which otherwise would have been committed. Parties of them also attended the different fairs, races, and other meeting s for public amusement round London during the year, and either appre hended or drove away such sal_ those—gangs of thieves and robbers as usually (and more noto riously of late years) have infested those meet ings. They have also afforded great assistance to the other Police-officers in the Metropolis in the preservation of the peace thereof during the year. We regret to state that a most wanton and shameful outrage was committed a few nights ago in the parish of Rahue, in this county a ban ditti of ruffians went to the Baptist Meeting house, which has stood there upwards of a cen tury, unmolested, and is attended by a most re spectable congregation ; where, after forcing an entrance, by breaking the outside gate, they de molished all the windows and shutters in the house.—( Westmeath Journal.) OLD HOUSES.—Yesterday afternoon, between four and five o'cloCk, an old house at the corner of Maddox-street, Regent-street, which was for merly well known by the name of " The Swallow street Eating-house," fell with a tremendous crash, by which a woman named Grenville and her infant, a fine child about 18 months old, were killed: CHILD I`IURDER.-17,esterday an Inquisition was taken at the Unicorn, Covent-garden, before T. IlioGs, Esq. Deputy Coroner;on the body of a fine male child, found dead the preceding even ing in Covent-garden market. Mr. Morris, of Chandos-street, who bad examined the child, deposed that it appeared to have been born about 18 or '2O days. There were blows on the body, which, in his opinion, caused its death ; they were six in number, and had been inflicted with a red hot poker.—Verdict, " Wilful Murder, against some person or persons unknown." FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—A few evenings since, Mr. GOWER, in the employ of Mr. MANTea, of Lewes, left Brighton on horseback for that bo rough. The weather was cloudy, and at his de parture, between 7 and 8 o'clock, it was very dark. On reaching the cavalry barracks; he heard the sound of an approaching carriage, anti either thrbugh ignorance, or the want of re collection, kept his horse on what is termed the wrong side of the road. -The carriage neared, but was not perceptible ; it turned out to be a gig, in Which were two Gentlemen, but neither perceiving the horseman, nor expecting impedi ment to their progress on the turnpike side they took, a collision of a most dangerous character followed—one arm of the shaft of the gig met GOWER'S horse in the breast, entered his body, and in an instant deprived him of life. GOWER was cast some distance from the saddle, but not tgaterially hurt. The' Gentlemen' were thrown to the earth, and the gig overturned ; but a sprained ancle and a few slight contusions, pro videntially, were the only injuries they received. Assistance being procured, some miscreant, as the price of his share of the trouble, purloined the bridle from the head of the dead horse on the road. ExuumATloN.—An Inquest was taker by Mr. HARBIN, at Ringwood, on Monday last, on the body of William Palmer, who, on the morning of that day, put a period to his existence by hang ing himself. Nothing being adduced in evidence to prove insanity, a verdict of Febo de se was re turned; and the following day the body was put into, a cart, and t a k e n about a mile out of Ring wood, on the P oo l e road, where a hol e wa s d ug , and the body thrown in. In the course of the night the hole was e mptied of its deposit, which has not Since been heard of.—(Sali.ibury Journal.) VOlt Tin!: SUN. `O'N THE PRICE OF BREAD: , Enrrott. - --1 have read the various disser tations with which you and'lnany other Journals have of late favoured the public upon the sub ject of the Corn Laws ; 'Mt if, instead of dis puting about these laws, you could rightly ma nage the sumptuary particulars of the trade in flour and bread, yoti would find that the Corn Laws might be put on the required footing, and yet the public suffer nothing.' To explain this, I beg to give - you some calculations founded on facts, and an accurate knowledge of the subject : The average price of wheat for the kingdom, as published in the LCITDON GAZETTE of Saturday last, is 61s. 4d. ; and I mean to prove, that were that average 70s. to 80s. as it ought to be, the price of bread ought not, and need not, to be higher than it now is; namely-, ls. the quartern loaf. To spew this, I need but exhibit a scale of the enormous profits at present made by the Millers and Bakers. The average price of Wheat in the London Market for the week ending 13th instant, was 665. per quarter.; the top price of the best household flour (which all bakers profess to use) is publicly quoted at• Gss. per sack of five bushels, or 2801 b ., net weight. The price of the best wheaten bread throughout the Metropolis, &c. (called the trade price) was one shilling the quartern loaf. TheSe are the data. Now, in converting wheat into flour (I mean good market able mealing wheat) one quarter of eight Winchelsea bushels will give rather more than six bushels (of 561 b. each) or nearly 3401 b. of prime household, or baker's best flour. Therefore, if the millers gave 68s. per quarter for their wheat, it is mani fest that they would get 78s. in return from the flour alone. But do they pay this price for their wheat ?—I suppose they will not if they can get it for less ; let us see how they can, and we know, do obtain, it, by valuing the sorts and porportions of wheat from which it is made, thus :—. S. d. One-third of the wheat, prime old red, at 70s. per qr. 70 0 One-third ditto new white at 6@s. 60 0 One-third ditto prime new red, at 3U. 54 0 3j184 0 Average price to the miller 61 4 [They may use the wheat in other proportions, as best suits heir purposes ; as suppose— s. d. One-third prime old red (as before) 70i. 70 0 Two-thirds, prime new white 6O s. - - 120 0 3)190 0 Average - 63 4 But this calculation is not to be taken as a standard, its pro portions being rather adapted for making a tine flour, techni cally denominated WHITES, and used for fancy purposes, and . by pastry cooks, &c. which bears a superior price accordingly ] From each quarter of wheat, as above, may be, and is, obtained rather more than six bushels of fine household flour, worth the price quoted per sack in . the market, which being this. or 13s. per bushel, is 78s. Ott The remainder of the produce of the quarter e wheat will not only pay for the manufacturing, but leave a profil of from Bs. to 12s. according to the locality of the mills : say, on the average - - - 9 4 Total money value - . - 87 4 Total cost - - - 61 4 Miller's profit upon each quarter - 26 • 0 Twenty-six shillings profit upon 61s 4d. are about 42 per cent. and the returns may be calculated to be made every two months ; which amounts, in this manner (at simple interest), to .1:256 per cent. per annum ! Now for the baker : it must be owned • that he comes some thing short of his master, but not so much as may be hastily supposed. I will allow him to pay the full price for ALL the flour he buys, which we well know none of them do :—the sack of flour, Town made, as it is called, and at the best price, will give, in making up, from 82 to 86 quartern loaves, well-baked, and each of the standard wAglit, or 41b. 51 oz. Taking an average only of 83 quartern loaves, at s. d. the price before quoted; it is • - 83 0 Price of the flour, per sack 63 Suppose the baker to use no north country, Irish, or other inferior tiour at all, here is a balance of 18 0 Expences of baking are, per sack 7 6 Ditto, carrying out, &c. 3 6 Baker's expence 11 0 Baker's profit, per sack 7 0► This is more than 10 per cent. upon the cost of the flour, and upon a return for the most part made within a month ; so that the Baker, to pay his house rent, &c. and cover his bad debts, is at present content with the moderate return of at and after. the rate of about 120 per cent. per annum at simple interest. The above would be the state of the case, if the prices regu larly followed the rise and fall of the corn-market ; but it may be recollected, that from Sept. 3, to Sept. 19, (inclusive), the price of flour was taised - 17s. per. sack (a e.) from 535. to 70s. and though wheat has been falling from the 17th of that mouth till now, and can be purchased as cheap now as before the price of flour was raised, it has been reduced only ss. per sack : The pretence is, that they must work off the stock they bought in high - ; but some bought very little, ' and all of them take sate to wort: off; perhaps, twice as much as would be necessary to cover the ad vance, and not only so, but the advance in flour was made on their stock in hand, when the advance in wheat took place.— Such ate the facts ; let the public consider them. For my- part I have only to add, that it the corn-laws properly protected British Agriculture, and the average price of mealing wheat were 795. the pxice of bread ought not to . exceed Is. the guar tern loaf; since it is obvious, from the trade profits I have shewn, that flour might then be afforded at this. to .60s. ;.-and. thus the miller and the baker would net then rob thp farmer ; and the public be as well off as before. 1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, INVESTIGATOR. London Oct. 25, 11121. FRENCH EG GS tiD BltlcwroN MACKAREL.— We have commonly French eggs in abundance here, but not often at moderate prices. At Ports mouth, we are told, for the importation of such articles, that the duties amounted. to 5,8001. at the rate of 10d. for every six score, during the last year, ,involving an °various, aggregate of 15,264,000. It is also mentioned as a curious fact, that after the expellee has been submitted to of removing a portion of the importations to London, the venders there have been content to receive about Sc!. or less, the • dozen ; but at Portsmouth, and coastways, when the expence by carriage, and loss by the breakage have been avoided, about lid. and is. the dozen have been the common prices demanded and paid. This verifies the adage, " nearer the church," &o.— The disposal of fish in this town, at intervals, has afforded a singular parallel to the above ; we have known the wholesale price of mackarel in the market to have been sixpence, the local retail Bd. and 10d., but by far the greater proportion, when transmitted'to Billingsgate, has been sold for less than twopence a piece. It is a specula tive matter in both instances ; the hope of inor dinate profits, frequently, at the extreme risk of ruinous losses, is but toq prevalpt every where. (Brighton ; Oct. 24.) M ORAVIAN MISSItYNS ifs GREENLAN-D• (FROM THE SHEFFIELD MS.) More than three years ago, the Readers of the SHEFFIELD Ines made a-liberal contribution to relieve the necessities of the Widows and Orphans of Christian Greenlanders, belonging to the Missions of the Moravian Brethren: That fut:d has been so economically aditinistered that it is not yet quite exhausted : that it has, at-the same time, bcen so liberally administ,Ted as essentially to promote the comfort of the poor creatures, in that wild region, that,Were ready to perish through famine, will ap pear by the following accounts, Just received, - throUh the hands of the Rev. C. F. Raunftler, of Ftilneck, from Brother C.Kleins chmidt of Lichtenau, in Greenland. Who would not do good, when it may be done at so small an expense,—when it will last so long,—and seeing that it may be remembered and ac knowledged from the ends_of the earth, when those who did themselves, perhaps, never tkink of it, except when thus 'de lightfully reminded by the voice' of gratitude and prayer, ex= pressing thanks and imploring • blessings- upon them in strains, that would affect the most insensible heart ? The Journal says, at Feb. 19,1821, " the weather was soine. what milder, so that our Greenlanders could go a-fishing,- foi which we were the more thankful, because most of them have no provision left, but what they froni day to day bring out of the sea : it is partidularly grievous that most have no sears blub.., ber, which is so needful both for their lamps and for food for • they often declare, That they haVe violent pains in the stomach, when they have no seal's fat, their nature being from early youth accustomed to it, as they put a piece of it even into the • mouths of new born children, to•suck at it. We were, therefore, delighted that We could assist even the poorest from time to time with this needful article of provision ; as we had an . autumn to provide for such a scarcity, we purchased some casks of scars fat in lieu for tobacco, for which our dear English friends had furnished us with means. Of this we Could now connnunicate to the begging widows and Orphans, which indeed occasioned some uneasiness as Ire gave each time but small . notions, prehensive of greater distress„ and those who came were deilY noted down, that the division might be made equitably.; and we might not be led to make mistakes by attending to so manv.', At another time it is mentioned, " On a joyfill and festive del same tobacco was distributed among our seventy-six • widows/ for which they scarcely knew how sufficiently to express their, joy and gratitude" Again, brother Klemschmidt writes, " I add two letters frcro the national assistants, Benjamin and ahem, in which they tes tify their gratitude in the name of their countrymen: Lait ter,_ and still more in spring, we found m uc h o pp ortun ity to Make use of the presents sent us for our widows and °T o r phans?. as their want was eat ; wherefore we gradually distribute(' some casks of seal's b fat, and many herrings among- them, and, were thankful that we had thought of providing before-haite; With little expense much may be done here, as the Greenland • produce is not dear. With all our charity, we have last winter not consumed above seventy pounds of tobacco, and we have still so much in store of what was sent, that for some tim: au addition to it will be needed. We husbanded it as well as pos sable, and are not unduly generous, lest our poor people should become careless and indolent, in reliance upon what is giv o them. But this has not been the case this spring ; many Cir cumstances made their want unavoidable, but the providence 0, God helped them most strikingly, and - now the catching of hate rings is successful.
