Dr. Johnson.. Other 'evidenccs of hits attelitiOn - will appear in a reetilication'of some miStaiien references, 'or imperfect citations, winch Di. Johnson has given ; and in the production ti:t examples to many words which Imre want ed eten a single instance of .illustration, as well as-to others which require additional authority. In these lairthirs he has derived assistance from some einumunica.tions'of impontan4 ; which have been made to him with liberality, awl without solicitation ;`and which have en abled -him, though indeed tt;ev ate obt very numerous, to admit into his volumes emen dations, and additions, as well by antagonists as by friends of Dr. Johnsen ; by Mr. Malone, Mir. lioi at...Tooke, and others : of all which the Introduction to this Work will give a wore explicit account. In these • labours - also. - it may not here be quitted, the " Plan " of Dr. Johnson has been respeetfolly followed ; and if it :;11:1.11 be fonni!that,•in the eonstruMon of the present Work, the Editor has been at all successful, he must greatly attribute his success to having built upou so noble a foundation. • To the Hi >tory of the English Language, and to the Gem mar., coninjerahle Additions ise made; and aeChro noh,gical List of Anthers cited in the Work, with iiccasional remarks upon them, Will complete the materials introductory to the Dictionary.

Thorns was, to be ce lebrated on Sunday last in the metropolitan church, when the relic,would be exhibited! to the 'vene ration of.the faithful.. This precious deposit, says the Gazette de France, confided ,to the piety of our fathei•s; was at Constantinople in the time of Sr. Louts. -- BALDIVIN, the Latin Emperor of Con stantinople,'offered it in a present to the trench Monarch„ who sent to the capital of the Greek Em pire two Monks of the order of St. Dominic, com missioned to bring to Paris thC Holy ,Crown of Thorns. On their arrival at Constantinople they fount! that this relic was pawned to the Venetians who were to possess it in full proPerty, unless, be fore the feast of St. Crervais, the sum lent on this sa= cred pledge was repaid to them. The fiitag's en- Voys, - thcrrefine, conveyed the Holy Crown to Ve nice, where St. Louis redeemed it, and it was im mediately brought 16 France. The pions.Monarch wertt to receive it to Villeneuve 7 lei-Archeveque, in the' diocese of Sens, and accompanied it to Pa= ris, where it was first exhibited in the cathedral to the, public veneration, and then conveyed to the chapel 'in the palace, dedicated to St. Nicho las. It was on the site of the church that St. Louis caused the Holy Chapel to•be built, which still exists .at this day: , He there depo,,ited the Holy Crown of Thorns, with a large portion of the true cross, of thesponge, and the lance. • The crown escaped the ravages of Zhe revolution, and is still preserved in the archives of Notre Dame. It is impossible to call to recollection the usages, the solemilities, and the Indnurnents of religiim,' without sp ea ki ng of the ancestors of the: Kink who is restored to us. SINGULAW-OCOURRESTCE.—A few nights since the Cheshunt (Elerts) waggon ) on. leaving London 9 had a. n u mber .of . women and children pas'sengers, and after partaking of some refresh ment at the Black Bull- at Kingsland, they pro ceeded on. Some time afterwards the' waggoner was alarmed by the shrieks of one of his women passengers, and on 'inquiring the cause, she ba , d fallen asleep and lost her infant, whit i was sup posed to have slipped . through her arms, and fallen out of the waggon. The driver stopped, whilSt th e afflicted mother and two men. traced' the road back after the' 6bild, and it, their way they met a stage coach and a wagron, but they could get no tidings of the infant until they found it lying in the road, about a mile from the wag-. gon, - uninjured, except having been sli g htly 'bruised. The night was dark', and although' neither of the drivers of the coach or waggon, could see the child,' the - borses. evidentl7 did, abd broke - ' way &ow rPnICE SIXPEN'CrA- iT AT.

NyAti - , : an allegorical work, iti which the author describes the journey of a Christian train the City of Destruction to the, heavenly Jerusa lem. The origin of the Pilgrim's Progress has been 'attributed by satire to Barnard's Religious Allegory, entitled The Isle of Nan, or Proceed= ings ,in Mansh:re, published in 1627,whilemthers have traced it to the story of -the Wandcging _Knight, •transiked •from the French by Wm. GoOdyeare, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. There-is also au 'old French work, which was Written by a Monk of Calais, and was versified in English as far back as 1426, relating to a pil grimage to' Jerusalem, and containing., various dialogues between the Pilgrim's Grace—Diett, Sapience, &c. The existence of such works can detract' little. from the praise of originality ; if . the notion of a - journey through the perils and temptations of life; to a place Of -religious re r, has been borrowed-by the author of the Pilgriin's Progress; it' was most probably suggested ny Flemish work alreaily nientiohed, which de• , .cribei the pilgrimage of Coloulhelle'.tO'Jerasaleui..
