Su ott a m.—We have had several flying visits fm
Mr. Sugden, and on Priday be renewed his canvass, snit
met with astonishing success. When the result was
known, the bells rang a merry peal. The effect upon the
opposite party is proved by certain notices from the Duke
of Not folk's attorney to some barge-matters, warning them
not in future to take any shingle for ballast, and other
steps have been taken which are• narrowly watched, and
which in due time will be exposed. On Monday Mr.
Sugden surveyed the harbour with great attention, attended
by Capt. Clegram and other gentlemen, in order that he
may fully understand the subject when it comes before
Parliament.—Brie/tton Gazelle.

THE INNOCENT CONFESSION.—A young country squire
paid his addresses to a lively lass in, tile village, whose
pretty face captivated him so much as 'to convince him that
he could have no happiness in life without her. Its etc-
eeeded in his suit, and the wedding-day was fixed. The
ardent lover thinking the period, short as it was, too dis-
tant, would fain have anticipated his felicity, but she
turned a deaf car to his solicitations. At length the tartly
interval paseed away, the wedding-day arrived, and the
loving couple were linked together indissolubly. All his
wishes being now consummated, he praised her for the
virtuous prudence with which she bad resisted his impor-
tunity, for, to confess the truth," says he, "if you had
been foolish enough to grant me any favours beforehand, 1
should certainly never have married you." " I dare ray
not," replied the young toile, " but I took good care; I
had peen too often caught in that way before."

dow just as a fellow was on the point of entering, whom be
knocked down. Three of the villain's associates rushed to
the window, and assailed the Priest with clubs, having no
fire-arms. The Priest knocked down two of them, and
was himself knocktd down by the third—aben he was
robbed of his cash, watch, and other valuables. It was
known that he had received a considerable subscription for
the building of a new Chapel, which, however, had been
so concealed as to elude the researches of the robbers. la

erted themselves to discover the villains, we regret without

Pkiatles, the comet being situate in the south-eastern
angle. The tail, or rather brush, points toward the south-
west, and when the night is favm.rable, appears from two
to three degrees in length. The nucleus emits a light about
equal to a star of the third magnitude, and has travelled
theough rather more than one degree or two of the moon's
diameters, during the last 48 hours.
