SERMONS ON THE TRINITY Shorthand Notes of Sermons preached in St. Jude's Church, Liverpoid, on Trinity Sunday, - 1833. By the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, A. M. Liverpool: Thomas Kaye. These sermons have been printed at the request of se veral members of the congregation of St. Jude's Church, with the consent of the reverend author, having previ ()tidy had the advantage of his revision. Independently of their excellence as discourSes, Containing unanswera ble arguments drawn from the fountain head of truth in support of the doctrine of the Trinity, they have another excellence not generally found in controversial writings, plainness and perspicuity of language, admirable calcu lated to convey instruction to the simple and unlearned. We should also remark that.they are printed in a cheap form, and therefore will be more accessible to those who may be presumed most in want of religious knowledge, or miv wish to be strengthened in their faith by knowing the foundation on which their belief is based- COAYTEMPORARI" PRESS. •It now appears certain that our ambassador to the Court of St. Petersburgh must signalize his entrance into the' plack Sea by , a fresh recognition of the supremacy of Russia,. and a new instance of humiliation to the British flag. This is only what we anticipated. Our corres pondence from the East has recorded only • Russian triumphs, Russian insolence, and disgraceful acts of sub mission on the part of those who ought to assert the honour and protect the interests of Great Britain ever since the present ministers first came into office. For directing the attention of the British public to this im portant subject, the unblushing sycophants of the Lord of the immortal protocols hive been ordered to assail us with all the impotent energy of their feeble malice. Their zeal, it must be admitted, is great, though their at tempts to silence the voice of truth are hopeless. Nothing can make the. conduct .of ministers more contemptible than it is, except to be so defended. This list act of national disgrace which Lord Durham's voyage to Odessa brings upon us might surely have been avoided by his Lordship choosing another route to St. Petersburgh, in the first instance, than that by Constan tinople. Why did he not travel by ,the route which he took before, on his former abortive mission to the Autocrat, which cost the country more than the diplo macy of the radical admirer of the Autocrat will ever be worth r Why should Lord Durham and the ministers be ostentatious of the disgraceful position of England in the East ? Knowing that they had not the sense and spirit to vindicate the honour of the British flag against the insolent demands of Russia, why did they wantonly and unnecessarily expose the weakness and degradation of English policy to the world, by contriving that the re presentative of his Britannic Majesty should take the only route to Russia that could lead to a new demonstra tion of the almost incredible meanness with which our " liberal" government submits to the insults Of that bar barian power ? Was it not enough that Mr. Ellis should have been re cently smuggled in a steamer thr oug h t h e B osp h orus an d the Black Sea to Trebisonde, without the same act of humiliation beino' gone through in conveying our am bassador to St. Petersburg ? The public recollect our explanation of the affair of the Afesange and the Volao'e, which the French ministerial papers, being ashamed to dis Close the truth, so elaborately mystified. The French government were ashamed Of' confessing that they sub m'itted 'to humiliations similar to those which the anabi tibus and insolent Autocrat imposes upon us ? As to Louis Philippe, he has a strong selfish motive for sub mitting to the insults of the Northern despots. He en deavours, by the basest sacrifices of principle, to propi tiate the absolute pow ers towar d s ' his yet unsettled dYnast . V, and to wipe out the stain of his revolutionary title. But what motive can the English government have for submitting. to such insults ? Why is - it that in every skip which they have yet taken in the East, or in every step which they have omitted to take, they have shown themselves always more ready to uphold the ab surd• and auctacious pretensions of Russia, than to assert the honour anif-maintain the interests of their own coun try ? Even the poor fallen Sultan insults us to gratify his Russian lord and master ! When did England, that howed c riot tb NapoleOn, ever fell in, low before ? gorn!ng Herald. ORDINATION AT GLASSNEVIN.—THIRD CENTENARY OF THE REFORMATION.-:-OR Sunday last, being the third centenary of the glorious Reformation, three candidates far the holy office of Priesthood, and twelve for the Dea conship, were ordained for the saved service in Glass nevin Church, by the Lord Bishop of Kildare. It is truly a delightful thing to behold so many young men of high education, sound morals, and Christian piety, coming forward at this rnoinent of distress and persecu tion, and devOting their talents and their lives to the service of true religion in a church from whose dilapi dated revenues they can expect no adequate compensation for their labour—not even entertain the prospect of an adequate support. If ever men can be supposed disin terested in their holy calling, these must be considered so; nor can any impulse be imagined to have led them to these offices, save the pure motive of preaching faith fully to all men the everlasting truths of the Gospel, and of fulfilling that solemn engagement unto which they bound themselves by their ordination vows of endeavour ing diligently to banish all pestilent heresies him) the church;- and (as an inclusive duty) removing all popish error from the land. It has been said that our Church is a falling—a decay ing Church :—that the number of its ministers is super fluous and ought to be reduced. Here is the answer. Fifteen clergymen have on one day been called into actual and immediate service in the several districts spe cified; and the demand fur young clergymen of pious minds and active habits is every day increasing more and more, not because the profession is beneficial to 'them, but because their ministry is more and more required by the wants of the protestant population. It is a fact, that on the very day of their ordination several of these gen tlemen were required to assist in the celebration of that auspicious epoch dhosen for the commemoration of the great and glorious. reformation of the Church: the third centenary of the day on Which the Bible was first pub lished in an English version. The omen is a good one. We trust the persons thus set apart for the ministry will remember the duty involved of faithfully preaching and propagating the contents of that Holy Book.—Dublin Evening Mail. MEMOIR OF MILES COVERDAI4 Miles Coverdale, the third centenary of whose English Bible fell on the 4th of October, was born in Yorkshire in 1487. He became a monk of the order of Augustines, was subsequently, with his superior Dr. Barnes, con verted to the doctrines of the Reformation. When his judgment was enlightened regarding,the evils of popery, he commenced p reac hi ng aga i ns t the mass, the worship of images, and auricular confession, the favourite prac tices of the Church of Rome. While on the continent in 1530, whither be had gone to esca_pe persecution, h e ass i s t e d Ti n d a l i n hi s trans l at i on of the Pentateuch. When his illustrious coadjutor was martyred in Flanders, he carried forward the good work in which they had been jointly engaged till 1535, when his complete translation of the Scriptures appeared. The Work was dedicated to Henry Vtll. and by his sanction circulated in England. In 1551 Coverdale was created Bishop of Exeter: So little had he profited in a pecuniary sense by his labours that, on accepting the prelacy, a fee, peculiar to persons in his situation, was remitted by the intervention of Cranmer..' During the persecution which ensued on the accession of Queen Mary, he wondertkilly escaped Martyrdom by the intercession of the. King of Denmark. He was only exempted from the stake, however, on condition - of his leaving the kingdom. 'On the accession of Queen Elizabeth he returned to' England from his exile. Disliking the court measures for conciliating the papists, he was passed over without preferment. At last this illustrious man was presented to the rectory of St. Magnus, London Bridge, at a time when his poverty was such that his Tee had to be for given him, after intercession with Archbishop Parker and Cecil. The poverty of Coverdale was a reproach to the nation, and was regretted by Bishop Grindail, who lamented that one who had been in Christ before them all, was left without support. Probably on account of partial nonconformity, he resigned his living before his death, but continued to officiate as a minister in this parish by permission of his superiors. He died in peace at the age of eighty- 7 one, and was followed to the place of his interment (a place near his own cure, the Church of St. Bartholomew by the Exchange,) by a large and sor rowing company of the citizens of London. • An admirable man he was. "Good cid Miles Cover dale," Dr. Southey justly designates him in his Book of the' Church. 'His life was that of a saint of the primitive ages of CM istianity—his house resembled a sanctuary of religion—and while bishop of Exeter, his labours were ' abundant as those of a missionary among the heathen. The crown of martyrdom was denied to this exalted Christian; but of his coadjutors in translating the Sciip- , tures, two were martyred: Tindal suffered in Flanders, and John Rogers.; teas the preto-martyr of the., Marian persecution. The latter victim might have escaped his persecutors and the stake; but in language worthy of the Christian here, he declared that he would not inn a wa y from the captain of his salvatipn in thq utmost jeoptgdy of the batfle. Noble spirits such as these should be held, up to the ad miration of all ages. Their learning, their heroic piety, their tortures, and their privations, are sacred to pure religion. In forgetting these the protestant may fO,rge the first principles of his creed, and be led to mingle his acclimation with the heartless and no-British mob, who would swell the triumph of a popish demagogue, and aid in advancing the interests of a hateful superstition. HINT TO COT-HORSE BREEDERS Errors detected by experience are allowed to•be equal to demonstration; but this truism is . not admitted by a vast majority of English farmers, who persevere in the use of the heavy black .horse for agricultural purposes, for which, solely, he is .by no means fitted, from the slow- • pesa of his step, (independently of his weight,) unless very highly fed. • As long, however, as the ponderous 'vehicles made use of in London and elsewhert, for the :transmission 'of ,heavy goods, are persevered in, this 'equally ponderous animal may be necessary; but it is certain that lighter horses, in lighter vehicles, would do the business better, that is, more speedily, and at less :cost. Notwithstanding the objections to him; the heavy Mack horse pays well foi: Rearing; for, being always aaleable at two years old, a certain profit is insured, as, , for•the first year, the expense of keeping him is trifling. g on a 'large scale, and promising to be fit for the London market, or the best conducted road waggons, he cons-' bands a price that leaves a handsome surplus .to the ) reeder. The chief disiderata in the cart-horse are 'pabstance .and action. If possessed of the latter, his shoulders and fore-quarters can scarcely be too coarse and heavy ; for, drawing being An effort of the animal to preserve himself from the tendency which his weight gives him to the centre of gravity when he inclines for ward, so the more weighty he is before, and the nearer be approximates this centre, the more advantageously will he apply his powers. Notwitstanding this, we are no advocates 'of heavy horses • for farmer? work, Much less on the road. The 'lighter horse gets over in eight hours what would take the heavy one ten; and the great improvement in the present mode of culture and the implements used for agricultural purpoies do not re quire more weight and strength than what the Suffolk, Clydesdale, Cleveland-bay, and other lighter breeds, are masters of. Besides, there are periods of the year when dispatch of business is of great moment to the farmer, which he cannot command in those mountains of horse flesh which we see labouring in most of the finest dis. tricts in England, tiring themselves by their own weight. Travellers on the continent ; occupying land in England, Should early in their eye the form and action of- the horses which draw. the public carriages, particularly those bred iii .Picardy, in France. The prevailing colour is iron -roan, and their nature appears to sympathise with that colour; for, speaking figuratively, they are as hard as iron itself. It is not unusual to find four or five of 'them drawing those cumbrous diligences, weighing per haps six or seven tons, a twenty-mile stage at the rate of six'miles an hour, preserving up their condition to the highest pitch ; and this with hay and corn very -inferior in quality to that grown in England. lo keep up the condition of the English black cart horse requires him to consume nearly as much as his la-, hour is worth ; and unless he lives well he is only half alive, as his sluggish action denotes. In fact, his chief fault lies in his having too great a body, and too little spirit; consequently he exhausts himself in the mere act of carrying that body. The nimbleness of the smaller kinds of cart-horses to which we have alluded is owing to theirmoderate size; add their immense powers in lifting weight (with the Suffolk punch and Clydesdale breeds in particular,) to the same cause, combined with the low position of the shoulder, which occasions weight to be acted upon in a just and horizontal direction, The Welsh cart-horses, especially those in use in the counties of Denbigh, Merioneth, and Montgomery, are eminently adapted to all agricultural purposes, combining much strength with a great share of activity; and the general criteria of wide breast, with low shoulders, good carcass, and small head, indicate their being good workers, with 'hardihood of constitution. Their - height is about fifteen hands two inches, and .the colour black or brown.— Apperley. EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON. This rather rare phenomenon has been lately witnessed on, a part of ',Mil O'Neill's estate, in the neighbourhood of Randalstown, on the Ballythena road, and about two and a half miles from the former town. The following is the substance of a letter which we have received from a 'gentleman who was at the place on Saturday last :—On the 19th ult., in the evening, the first movement occurred. A person who was near the ground was surprised to hear a sort of rumbling noise, as if under the earth; and, im mediately after, his surprise was not a little increased on perceiving a part of the bog move pretty rapidly forward, a distance of a few perches._ It then halted, and ex hibited a broken, rugged appearance, with a soft peaty substance boiling up through the chinks. It remained in this state till the 22d, when it suddenly moved forward, at a quick rate, covering corn -fields, potato-fields, turf stacks, hay in ricks, &c., not a vestige of which now re- Mains to be seen. So sudden and rapid was this move ment, that the adjacent mail coach road was covered in a feW minutes, or rather moments, to a depth of nearly 20 feet. It then directed its course towards the river Maine, which lay below it; and so great was its force, and such the quantity of matter carried along, that the moving mass was forced a considerable way across the river. In consequence of the late heavy rains, the river has again found its channel through the matter deposited in its bed, otherwise the Water would have been forced back, and immense damage done to the land on the banks. The fish in-the river have been killed for a considerable dis tance. The damage done by the mossy foundation has been very considerable. About 150 acres ,of excellent arable land have been covered, and rendered totally use less. Down the middle of the projected matter a channel has been formed, through which there is a continual flow of dark peaty substance over ground where, only two weeks ago, the reapers were at work. A house close by the road is so far overwhelmed, that only a part of the roof is to be seen. Besides the actual damage sustained, the utmost alarm prevails, and the people living adjacent to the place have been removing thei r f urn it ure , &c., to a distance. All manner of absurd reasons are assigned to account for this destroying visitation; but, as the cause is one of a natu r al a nd su ffi c i en tly we l ascertained kind, it is useless to dwell upon the solutions offered by ignorance. —Northern Whig. VETA GRANDE MINES. The situation of these mines, the richest in Mexico, is four miles north of Zacatecas. The elevation of the sur face above the level of the sea, is supposed to be about 6,000 feet; and of the bottOm of the mine above the level of the sea, probably near 5,000 feet. The nature of the rock is transition clay-slate, alternating with dolo mite, and coasionally with grey wacke ; this clay-slate is sometimes decomposed ; it rests on syenitic rocks, and is in some cases covered with porphyry. There is one principal vein (the Veta Grande) which is generally se parated into three branches, and sometimes into four ; when ramified, the width extends to 60 or 70 feet ; when united, it varies from 8 or 10 to 20 or 30 feet ; the branches are generally about 10 or 12 feet wide, and the Upper one is most productive; the direction of,the Veta Grande is from 30 to 40 deg. south of east and north of West, and its underlie from two to three feet per fathom sou th. Other veins of less size occur in the neighbour hood of the beta Grande, which cross it at an acute angle; one of these appears to heave the vein for about 700 feet, being the most remarkable derangement of the kind on record. The ores are chiefly red silver, native silver, and argentiferous pyrites, producing 31 oz. per quintal. Th e veinstone is chiefly quartz, occasionally amethyst, carbonate ollime, and sulphate of barytes, while the ores are generally accompanied by blende, sulphuret of anti mony, and iron pyrites. The principal shafts are the Tiro General, 182 fathoms deep, and Gallega shaft, 138 fathoms deep. There is no alit to this. mine. The wuantity of water drawn is about 80 gall o n s p er m i nute , hich is raised on an average about 150 fathoms, usually by ten malacates, probably , equivalent in actual horse power to 32 horses constantly working, or a total number of . abont 100-horses, at an annual expense of drainage, £20,000. The "quantity of ore annually produced is 21,380 tons of silver, producing 153,0001b5. troy of silver, making the total value of £423,400 per annum. The total costs of the mine £252,170 per annum, giving a clear profit to the proprietors of £171,240, from the a mount of £130,000 invested, making an interest on the capital vested of nearly £7OO per cent., after paving back the original capital. The proportion of costs to returns is about 591 per cent., and the number of men employed about 900, of whom nearly 600 are underground. The wages of the miners per day is about Bs. or 9s. The ores are chiefly reduced by the company, at the Hacienda of Sauceda, by smelting and amalgamation.— -Mining Journal. EATABLE Bia us' NF.sTs.—There is a peculiar kind of bird nest abounding in the Philippine islands, which is in high re quest among the Chinese goarmands. Trelawney, in his Ad ventures of a Younger Son, tells us that the price of a moderate cargo is occasionally immense, and relates an amusing story of an ignorant English caPtain, who threw Overboard enough of them to have made, the foriune of his family. Dr. Meyers thus eaßlains the precise composition of this luxury:—The weed which coMposes this branch of 'commerce is the Sphcerococcus eariilagfneus va. setaceous aq. which is found in great abundance in this partnf India. It is eaten by the bird .Idirundo •Scalenta, which builds the nest in question, and is used in the prepara tion 'of its precious nest. The swallow eats the fresh weeds, and permits them to soften for some time in its stomach, after which it throws up the mass, now converted into a jelly, and sticks it together to form the nest. The nests, which are sub sequently smeared over with dirt and feathers, are brought in their raw state to China, where they ore cleaned in imuleuse warehouses built for the purpose and then, exposed for sale. These so celebrated Indian nests are, therefore, hardly any thing more than the softened kS'pheerococcus caailuyinaus we. have brought with us from the Chinese seas, and their effect is.no other than that of fine jelly. In the preparation, of these nests such a number of fine stimulants are generally added, that they of right occur the first .rank arming relishe s at, the tables of the Chinese. The Japanese bad' lung ago discovered that these costly bird-nests are nothin i g more than softened sea-weed, and now prepare the substance itself in an artist like manner. Some of our sets epicures may be glad to learn that the Splicer omcinis e7ispny, which 1)r. Meyen thinks would serve just as well thy the composition of this luxury, is to be found in large quantities on the. western and northen coasts of Great Britain. —Quarterly Review. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. LONDON POLICE REPORT. THAMES POLICE-OFFICE-MONDAY. EXPENSIVU JUSTICE IN THE lifs.swl,Jso,tes.—Captain John Lawrence, the master of the ship Caleb Angii, appeared before Mr. Combs, on a summons to show cause why he refused to pay the sum of £4 10s., the balance of wages claimed by Benjamin Cooper, a seaman, for his services on Ward as a mariner from Loudon to lionduras and back. It appeared that the seaman had signed articles for £2 ss. a mouth, and the net amount of his wages from the Ist of May, 1833, to the 22d of last month was £lO Ils. 6d. After deduct ing the amount of money advanced, tobacco, and hospital dues, he claimed the balance above-named. The captain, however, said there was a balance owing to him of £3 2s. 6d., and that be had paid £7 9s. 6d, equal to £l2 Os. Rid. Jamaica currency, at Belise, for Jaw expenses, incurred by the apprehension and committal of the complainant ,to prison for Way slays, for an • assault on the captain. . _ _ Cooper said he had ,been wrongly convicted, and objected to paying such a large sum for law expenses. The captain here handed up the vouchers for the payment of the money, and a certificate under the hand and seal of Henry A. GraY . , Assistant Keeperof the Records at Belise, from which it appeared that " Benjamin Coupe, had been brought before William Muskat!, William H. Coffin, and William Walsh, Esqrs: magistrates, at the Court House, Belise, on the 15th of July, 1835, charged with baying ,asiaulted.Jobn Lawrence, cap tain of •the Caleb Angus, without cause or provocation. The cOuziplaint was fully substantiated, and the prisoner was ordered to be lopt in solitary confinement for four days, and to be fed on bread and water only during that time, and then return to his duty on board the said vessel. The expenses which have beenincurred on the warrant to be 'Said in the first place by the captain, and then to be deducted from the wages of the prisoner. —H. A. Gray, Assistant Keeper of the Records, Record Office, Belise, Honduras, Aug. 1, 1835." Mr. COmbe said that with this document before him he could not order the payment of the wages, but he could help remark ing that the law expenses were most exorbitant. The gaol fees amounted to £1 16s. 81., inciudiug las. for four days' rations (bread and water), and then he fouud that D. B. Lockward, au officer of police, charked El for Cooper's apprehensiou, Ws. fot l / 4 the warrant, audDs. for examining him. (Laughter.) 'l6e bill of the Clerk of the Court, Thomas Miller, amounted to £4, as folloWs :—Warrant and examination, '£l' lOs, ; attending 'magistrates at examination, El ;two subpoenas issued on part of defendant , 10s.; and a certificate of order, £l." The last bill made out was by L. M. Leman, Postmaster-General, "For warning magistrates, &c., £3 2s. 2d." lie dmst say that it was an extremely hard case on the sailor that he should be compelled :to pay such enormous fees, which had swallowed up the whole or his hard-earned wages. In London the expenses of a war rant, "apprehension, &c:, would only amount to 4s. or ss. He was compelled to dismiss the case, The sailor, who said he did not mean to deny the justice of all the worthy magistrate had said, complained bitterly that he had been dragged to a prison, he knew not for what, in the West Indies, where anything urged by a common seaman was never attended to as it was here, and that he had not a copper to receive. . _ _ soon afterwards Mr. Broderip took his seat on the hen h, and his colleague referred his attention to the documents, and the enormous amount of the fees, amounting to £l2 West Indian currency. Mr. Broderip perfectly agreed with the decision of Mr. Coombe, and also that the charges were most exorbitant. There was one item very amusing, if it was possible to be amused at such a charge—" For warning the magistrates, £3 2s. 2d." (Laughter.) A reform was certainly wanting here. Several cases of a similar nature have come under the notice of the Thames Police magistrates, in which the whole amount of seaman's wages have been swallowed up in fees to clerks and police-officers in the West Indies in cases of trifling disputes between sailors and captains. In one case which came under the notice of the magistrates a short time ago, upwards of £l5 had been charged to the account of three seamen for fees in a matter. disturbance on board ship at Jamaica. Among other charges was one of £3 15s. "for apprehending three seamen with a silver oar," "tor taking the men to gaol,16;" "for luck ing up the cage, 105.,_. " "copy pi' indictment £4.," and ether exorbitant fees, including £5 for conveying tie men from the gaol to the Court House and back. Mr. Broderip said he recollected the case just referred to. The situations of clerks of the peace and constables in the West Indies must be very profitable ones. . GRATITUDE.—A very poor aged man, busied in planting and grafting an apple tree, was rudely interrupted by this interro gation : "Why do you plant trees, who cannot hope to eat the fruit of them?" He raised himself up, and, leaning upon his 'spade,. replied—" Some one planted trees for me before I was born; and I have eaten the fruit; I now plant for others, that the memorial of my gratitude may exist when I am dead and gone."—Education Journal.

IN 'nit; PRESS.—" I am going to write a work on popular ignorance," said young F. D. to Doctor F—e the other day.. "I know no one more competent," was the M.D.'s reply. AN ARISTOCRATIC OSTLER.—At the late Doncaster races an ostler had one a the small bones of 'Ms leg fractured by a kick, and was making sad lamentationg during the time the sur geon was setting it to rights. "Do not make such a fuss about a trifle," said the mendicus, " you will be right again in a few days." "Do not think, Doctor," said the sufferer, " that I should have uttered one word of complaint if the Queen of Trumps, or any real good thortiugh-bred had broken both my legs. iu a playful kick ; but to have even a small bone broken by'a brute of a jackass is really too bad, and more than any re spectable ostler can endure without complaining." GOURMANDISM.—A man of property, who had for years been abusing his stomach, at last found his health in a rapid decline. Nature could endure it no longer. He went to consult the ce lebrated Dr. Spring, of Watertown, Mass. lie stated the symp toms of his case so clearly that the learned physician could not mistake the nature of the disease. " I can cure you, sir," said he, "if you will follow my advice." The patient promised most implicitly to do so. "Now," says the doctor, "30A must steal a horse." "What! steal a horse ?" "Yes, muststeal a horse. You will then be arrested, convicted, and placed in a situation where your diet and regimen will be such that in a short time your health will be perfectly restored."—Literary Gatette. INSTINCT OF A TCETLE.—A ship, which touched at the Island of Ascension on her way to England, took in several large tur tle, and amongst them one which from some accident had only three fins. It was in consequence called and known on board the ship by the name of the " Lord Nelson." It was marked in the usual way by having certain initials and numbers burnt upon its under shell with a hot iron, and which marks are known never to be obliterated. Owing to various causes the ship was a long time on her passage homewards, a circumstance which occasioned many of the turtle to die, and most of the rest were very sickly. This was the case with the "Lord Nelson," and it was so nearly dead when the ship arrived in the channel, that the sailors, with whom it was a favourite, threw it over board, in order, as they said, to give it a "chance." Its native element, however, appears to have revived it, for, two years afterwards, the very same turtle was again taken up at the Island of Ascension. The proofs brought of the accuracy of the statement place its authenticity beyond a doubt; and it affords a mostextraordina_ry instance of that wonderful instinct possessed by animals. When we consider the vast tract of waters this turtle had to pass through, and that the Island of Ascension is only a speck in the mighty ocean, it is impossible not to reflect with wonderupon the uxexplained instinct which enabled so unweildy and apparently so stupid an animal to find its way back to its former haunts.

STEALING A PURSE.—Friday, at the Police Court, a woman of decent appearance, named Elizabeth Sothern, was placed before the magistrates, charged by Mary Bowman, a widow, wbo keeps a grocer's shop in Toxteth-park, with having stolen a purse, containing two sovereigns and eighteen shillings in silver. From the statement of the prosecutnx it appeared that the prisoner came to her shop on Thursday last, and offered for sale a pair of scales, which she agreed to purchase, the prisoner to receive a quantity of groceries in part payment, and the rest in money. The bargain being thus concluded, the prisoner in quired whether she had any old scales or loose metal in her possession as she had no objecti on t o p urc h ase it. Sh e p rom i se d to look, and went into the cellar fur that purpose, leaving the prisoner alone in the shop. She (the witness) returned im mediately with an old pair of scales, which the prisOner bargained for, and then went away. "ShOrtly. afterwards Mrs. Bowman missed her purse, which she recollected laying on the counter a short time before the prisoner came to her shop, shei having but a short time before made a payment from it. Her suspicion fell upon the prisoner, and upon information o f th e robbery reaching the . police, Davison, the officer, went iii search, and succeeded in tracing her to a house iu Moor-fields, where he found the prieoner . drunk in b e d.- Th e s t o le n purse, containing ss. lid. was found upon the prisoner, as well as a large bundle of prints and some wearing apparel, which it is supposed she had purchased with the money which was defici ent.—The prisoner acknowledged the theft, but excused herself underthe plea of poverty. She was committed to the sessions. ADVANTAGE OF A LARGE NEWSPAPER.—There is a curious exposition in the Temps of the advantages of the larger size of the English over the French journals. It is said, very justly, that a sort of impartiality and comprehensiveness of view Of the various interests of society is secured by this circumstance alone. The English papers cannot be filled by mere party politics; and the taste of readers for general news and variety of topics is partly cause and partly effect of their present form and dimensions.

TtIR DINNEit TABLE.,—ho order dinner well is a matt er o f invention and combinati o n, It involves novelty, simplicity, an d • taste ;'whereas in the generality of (tintless there is n o c h aracter but that of dull routine, according to the season. The same things are seen every where at the same periods, and as the rules for providing limit the range very much, there are a great many good things which never make their appearance a t a ll , and a great many others which, being served in a fix e d order, are seldom half e njoyed; as, fur instance, game in th e t hi r d coarse, This reminds me of a dinner I ordered at Christmas day for two persons besides myself, and which we enjoyed very much. It consisted of crimped cod, woodcocks, and p um-puct ding, just as much of each as we wanted, and accompanied by champagne. Now this dinner was both very agreeable and very wholesome from its moderation; but the ordinary course would have been to have preceded the woodcocks by some substantial dish, thereby taking away from their relish, and at the same time overloading the appetite. Delicacies are scarcely ever brought till they are quite superfluous, which is unsatisfactory if they are not eaten, and pernicious if they are. When the ma terials and the cooking are both of the best, and dinner is served according to the most approved rules of comfort, the plain es t, cheapest food hiss attractions, which are seldom to be found in the most laboured attempts. herrings and hashed mutton, to those who like them, are capable of affording as much enjoyment, when skilfully dressed, as rare and costly dishes. I think it would be a great improvement to introduce, as a mode of enjoy ing easy society, small parties to plain savoury dinners, without state or ceremony. They need not supersede more expensive repasts, hut might be adopted as a variety and a relief. At present such a thing is scarcely heard of as asking half-a-dozen people to dinner unless it be an affair of trouble and e x p ence. if people can dine alone in a plain maner, they could do so in society much more agreeably.— The OrVinal, - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ADVICE TO UNMARRIED LADIES. F,OUND AMONGST S<YME MANUSCRIPTS OF A LATE DOWAGER If you have blue eyes—languish. If black eyes—leer. If you have a pretty foot —wear short petticoats. If you are in the lea s t doubtful as to that point—let them be rather leng. If you have good teeth—don't forget to laugh now and then. If you have bad ones —you must only simper. While yon are young—sit with Sour face to the light. .While yoaare a little advanced—sit with your back to the window. _ ir you have a bad voice—always speak'in a IoW tone. Hit is acknowledged that you have a fine voice—never speak in a high one. If you, (lance well—dance but seldom. If you dance ill —never dance al all. If you sing well—make no previous excuses. If you sing indifferently—hesitate not a moment when you are asked; for few persons are competent judges of singing, but eve' v one is sensible of a desire to please. !fin conversation you think a person wrong—rather hint a difference of opinion than offer a contradiction. If you find a person telling an absolute falsehood = let it pass over in silence; it is not worth your while to make any one your enomy by proving him a liar. It is always in your power to make a friend by smiles—what a folly to make enemies by frowns! When you bavo an opportunity to praise—do it with all your heart. When you are forced to blame—appear, at least, to do it with reluctance. If you are envious of another woman—never show it, but by allowing her every good quality and perfection except those she really possesses. If vett wish to let the world know you are in love with a par ticular man—treat him with formality, andevery one else with ease and freedom. If you are disposed to be pettish or insolent—it is better to excercise your ill humours on your dog, your cat, or your servant, than your friends. If you would preserve beauty—rise early. If you would obtain power—be condescending. If you would live happy—endeavour to promote the happiness of others. Embing. Vie figures denote the regis!e-r burtlum of tho Y'enek) AFRICA, William.
