I have often imagined that something parallel to the office ci
Cersors anciently in Rome. would be of m glity use among us,
and could be easiiy limited froto running into any esorbitanees.
The Hoinans urderatood liberty at least as well aa we, were as
jealous of it, 'and upon every occasion as bold assertors. Yet I
do out remember to have read ary great complaints of the abuses
in that office among them ; hut many admirable effects of it are
I left upon record. There arc several pernicious vices frequent
at:d notorious among us, that escape or elude the punishment of
any law we have yet invented, or have had no law at all against
them: such as Atheism, drunkenness, fraud, avarice, and save-
ral others ; which by this institution, wisely regulated, might be
much reformed. Suppose, fur instance, that itinerary Commis.
sioners were appointed to inspect everywhere throughout the king-
dom ii:to the cohduct (at least) of men in office, with respect to
their morals and religion, as well as their abilities, to receive the
complaints and informations that should be offered against them,
and make their report here upon oath, to the Court or the Ali_
ninety, who should reward or punish accordingly. I avoid en-
tering into the particulars of this or any other scheme, which,
coming trout a private hand, might he liable to litany defects.
but would soon bra digested by the wisdom of the nation. And
surely ai= thousand pounds a year would rot be ill laid out
among a many Commiasloners, duly qualified, who. in three
divisions, shotikl be personally obliged to take their yearly circuits
for that purpose."

After stating in further detail the arrangements he pro-
poses for carrying his Project into execution, the Dean dis-
covers the real purpose of his essay, by making the follow-
ing observations, with which we bliall conclude, recom-
mending our readers to turn the whole piece over again at
their leisure:—

•• The proposals I hare hitherto made for the advancement of
religion and morality, are such at come within reach of the Ad-
ministration ; such as a pious active Prince, with a steady resolu-
tion, might soon bring to effect. Neither am I aware of any ob-
jections to be raised against what I hare advanced, unless it *tumid I
be thought that the making religion a necessary step to interest
and favour might increase hypocrisy amongst us ; and I readily be-
here it would. But V one in twenty should be brought over to.,
true piety, by this or the like methods, and the other nineteen be
only hypocrite., the advantage would still be great." • •
All other projects to this great end hare proved hitherto in-
effectual. Laws against immorality have not been executed, and
proclamations occasionally issued out to enforce them, are wholly
unregarded as things of torm. Religious societies, though begun
with excellent intention, and by persons of true piety, are said, I
know not whether truly or not, to have dwindled into factious clubs,
and grown a trade, to enrich little knavish informers of the meanest
rank, such as common constables, and broken shopkeepers."

The Money Market was somewhat depressed during the
whole of yesterday morning. Consols for Money opened
at 93i. and closed at 4, and the sales at that price were far
from brisk. The Account Bargains were proportionably
dull ; at the opening they were done at 934 ; they after-
wards rose to j, but very soon declined to looking heavy
at the close. An absurd idea has got credit, that the Holy
Alliance must go to war with England, in consequence of
her recognition of the South American States. Idle as this
rumour must appear to every one who reflects upon it
coolly, no other cause was assigned for yesterday's heavy
markets. With the exception of the New Brazilian Scrip,
which was done at 4j, all Foreign Securities were rather
on the decline ; Greek Bonds were done at 37 ; Spanish
lilt; Brazilian Bands, 6821 ; Old Braziliak Scrip, l G ;
Buenos Ayres Bonds, 914 ; Colombian ditto, 1821, 9044;
Mexican, ; Portuguese, 891; Prusaials 100 i ;
French Bente', 10341.
The letters received from New York, dated Bth ult. state,
that no recent accounts had been received from Mexico.
The bills for the Mexican Loan were offered in the money
markets of the Union at God. per dollar, a high rate of
exchange, as the dollar is only worth 4s. 311., and by this
negociation ss. was obtained, taking the bills of the Lon-
don Contractors.
We saw letters from Pernambuco yesterday, that had
just arrived, but they brought nothing new, as communi-
cations. dated the 18th December, had been in town se-
veral days. These last letters were dated the 11th De-
eeinher.

The letters by the Martha, from Buenos Ayrea, arc not
of so recut a date by one day, as those that were brought
by the Flora. The former were dated the 12th. the latter
the 13th November. They all speak of that State being
in a most satisfactory condition, and her internal regula-
tions going on in a manlier that must gratify the most san-
guine expectation of the friends of South American inde-
pendence._

A smileless attempt seems to be making to produce a
belief that the Panama letter in the Bosiun Centime! an-
nouncing the defeat of Bolivar at Truxillo on the 17th of
September, may turn out to be correct. It would be de-
grading to waste another word in refutation of so monstrous
a story.

TRINITY COLLEUE.--The Dublin Patriot of Saturday
has the following paragraph :—" We are authorised to
state, that the Provost and Fellows of Trinity College,
Dublin, entirely disclaim the petition which appeared in the
Antidote of this morning, purporting to be the petition of
the Graduates and Under-Graduates of Trinity College,
Dublin. The first intimation which they received of it
was the notice which appeared in the Irish Timm of yes-
terday ; and they are satisfied it has rot beensigncd by all
large proportion of the students. They have unift rmly
prohibited, under the heaviest penalties, all political in-
terference on the part of the gownsmen, and ere determin-
ed to proceed with the severity which the case requires
against all students who may sign or countenance the pre
sent petition, or any other, which shall not have duly
originated with the co-operation of the Provost, Fellows,
and Scholars."

ago, that in the year 1471, when Lewis Xl. of France
wanted to berlow the works of the Arabian Physician,

of valuable plate, and was also obliged to procure a Noble-

was bound to return it, under a very considerable penalty.
About the commencement of the fourteenth century, there

MR. KEAN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

Ste—You have advocated most warmly—and, to do you
justice, I must say, very effectually—the cause of Me
KEAN ; but still, Sir, you and I differ very Widely about
the morality of the matter. You will tell me, I know,
that you do not defend the conduct of Mr. KEAN, but
that you merely deny the justice of punishing him over
again for that conduct at the theatrical tribunal, after he
has been punished by the proper tribunal of his country.
This may be good logic ; but when I take up an argument
I have 110 time to attend to distinetious ; besides I always
consider that if my adversary makes a distinction there is
the less necessity that I should do it. My opinion is, that
punishment was intended for the prevention of crimes, and
that therefore the more you punish an offender the more
you incrcaso the example, which is the great chject of
punishment ; and by the same rule I bokl, that if you
make an example of him t trice, the benefit produced by it is
just double. In this I ant quite sure that you, and.every
friend to justice, will agree with me. For my part, I was
a lover of unsparing discipline from my youth up. I re-
member an old poem ness—she wee a woman after my own
heart—that always whipt the children when they were
naughty to make them good, and vhipt- them when they
were good to keep thou so .Now
. ow this is as it ought to be";
tins system presents to my mind the perfect model of a
preet suit e puiee. Its tendency to produce a perfectly
,'vier people is manifest at first sight. I think I
hear some one ask, " but where is the quite of
this ?" My answer is, I am protecting lobby neee„
don't talk to me, therefore, about equity. 31y-object is to
put down offence,: ; and to do so, I must, in every instaen,
hunt down the offender, for 'while he exists morality/ is not
safe. Besides, of what use is equity? Look at the Court
of Chancery; see the evils of a Court of Equity, and then
ask yourself candidly. would you introduce this principle
into the theatre? 'Would you think of at all resorting
to it in passing judgment on AN ACTOR? Surely not.
Besides, to talk about equity where a man is a pig/.
lic character, is quite preposterous. If a man conse-
crates his talents, whatever they may be, to the itblic
serr;ce, whether in the senate, at the bar, or on the stage,
it is monstrous for such a man, if he offends, to ask for
the same measure of justice that is dealt out to private
persrns. Public and private justice arc two very different
things. If a man is either perfectly useless to the public,
or dedicates himself in no way to its service, that man's
vices ought to go free. It is enough that he is unservice-
able to the cnnimunity ; it is enough that it receives to
benefit at his hands; this is, and ought to be, SllffiCi:Ll to
exempt hint, however profligate he may be, from all open
reproach; MO I•LITY can dispense with his services, on
the score of his inutility ; she is content to leave him tattle
administration of ordinary justice. But if the delinquent
happens to be one of that class who devote the whole cf
their qualiflcatiors—whether for benefiting or amusing the
public—to its service; in this case, I hold, that we se
acquire a right to take his bread out of his mouth at our
pleasure. Fair dealing here is out of the question. A juts
of his country may decide on the degree of his guilt, at:a
may punish him according to what they conceive to be his
deserts. He is here, however, made only to suffer like any
other private individual who has offended against the law:
but his having spent the best years of his liTe in minister-
ing to our amusement, and ha.ving expended the whole of
his days in diversifying the enjoyment of ours—if Ai: does
not give us a right, not only to inflict a double punish-
ment ,upon him, but to pursue him to his utter ruin,
I should be glad to know what does? I hope no one will
infer that I would judge, unrighteous judgment. I hope I
shall rot be accused of any thing like a wish to violate the
sacredness of equal eights, as belonging to every British sub-
ject. I know there are some who really feel no compunc-
tion in this respect. But I beg leave to lodge my caved
against any such an imputation. It is because I adore the
sovereignty ri the people, that I would hand over very
public character to their jurisdiction. I comic!, r that WE,
the people, or, as we are sometimes called, the public--
have a right to make all who serve us in any way, and ei
whatever stage—whether on the floor of the House cts
Commons as our Representatives--or of the Court of King's
Bench as Advocates—or of Drury-lane as Actors,—we have
a right, I say, to make them bow to the resistle c.. imps
tutslty of our offended mote/ feelings. " Well, but"--says
acme captious objector—" is it rot enough diet any offence
which they, may have committed should he punished by the
laws of the land?" I answer " No ; for the mass of the
community this way do; but not for any verde. character;
if any one of this class is caught tripping, far be it from us to
have an idea of moderation. For my part no one venerates
the precepts of Christian eatuktur and Christian charity
more than myself. If I have any failing, it is that I have
rather tco strong a leaning that way towanls all mankind.
But still I cannot help agreeing completely in feeling and
sentiment with that poet, whoever he is, who says that
Every Actor is a thing,
A Merry Andrew, paper kiNg,
A puppet mule of rags and wood.
The !,rest son licarrh, mere mud
Mere public game. where'er you meet him ;
And cohlers, as they please. may treat hint :
Shall one of this cLisii e'er offend
'tiainst rsblic Fr:gals—there's sin end
Of all that's dear to this our age,
If we t!on't drive him from site staL.r.
No punishment can betuo cruel.
I vote tot—crsenie is his genet."
As we have 1101 N, I hope, the power of exereisinc our
sahitary stns delectable censorship upon Mr. KEAN. I hope
the party Aimed against him—which, in my opinion, has
in it all the genuine and legitimate character of a " hole al-
wilibe supported by all the true friends to jlat-
rlan FIEEDOI. if we would have the drams perfectly
pure, which ought to be the wish of us all, we must begin
the conflict with making a clear stage.

A TRUE PEMTAN•

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.
Eta—lt must be a subject of surprise and regret to every Briton,
that although a liberal reward is offered for the best painting. de-
scriptive of the two principal victories achieved by the immortal
Nelson, there is scarcely atingle production 'in the ninth Gallery.

beg to subjoin a few remarks; which, as they arc iaipardally
made, you will, perhaps. deem worthy of notice.
No. :74. The Santissinia had her masts standing when the
Victory broke the line. The perspective, panicularly of the
rlsuitissinut, is very bad.
287. The Zealous is under sail, and on the starboard bow of the
thterricr. when the foremast of the latter is shot away ; she was
ar.chored at that period on her larboanl side. The other ships ate
too far to leeward to weather the Enemy's line ; whereas the Arion
'and Theseus actually did so.—Thts is more a morning than an
evening piece.
216. Perspec!ire and arrangement of the ships Incorrect.
244. The Hellish lines too near each other, and the ships badly
arranged. The frigates, and even the stualler vessels, are bearing
down to engage the enemy !
143. This is the only representation of a sea. The ships are chit-
tacterestic, and the position is in conformity with the official
snout. _ _ _

IBS. Ships badly proportioned, and out of character. Achille is

lin. Good dikes. Culloden is represented as being within shot
•otthe enemy ; she IV:Z8 hull down. The:i'wiftsure and Alexander

they grounded the shoed.
There ato many other attempts. but so contemptible that I do
not notice them; Wet. are better calculated for tea trays, and
public-lions,: signs. Notwithstanding that the number of paintings
trom• each artist was limited to two, some hate three in the es!,l-
- ; and it is manifest that the arrangement is done in a partial
why. The paintings should be placed oa the same line, and then
works of merit would roc be in an unfavourable light, while con-
temptible productions are intruded on your notice.

By the exhihition of the fiscal operations of the year, it ailll be
perceived that, if the expectations formed respecting the fourth
quarter should be realized, the receipts rip have exceeded the e.ti-
mate presented at the last Session of Congress by alxtut 890,000
dollars. The only (*gore has heen in the proceeds of the public

to combinations of capitalists, by which actual settlers were deterred
from competition. the price has not, with feet exceptions, exceeded
the minimum price fixed by law. The actual receipts from that
source of revenue during the present year will exceed those of
1923. s
The gross amount of duties on imports ard tonnage, which ac-
crued from the Ist of January to the 30:11 of September last ir.clu-
sive, is estimated at 19,000.000 dollars, and that of the whole year
at 22.300,000 dollars. Of this sum, that portion which accrued in
the first half of the year exceeds, by about 6311.0410 dollars, and
that in the three quarters by about 1.200,000 dollars, the portions
which accrued in the corresponding q aerie: s of 1823.
The debentures issued during the three first quarters of the pre-
sent year amounted to 2452,000 dollen. which is btss by 460,000
dollars than the amount issued during the corresponding period of
the preceding Tear; and the amount of deber.tures outstanding on
the 30th of september lase, and chargeable upon the revenue
of 1823, was 1,1004.090 dollars. which is leas by 401.000 dollars
than was on the same day in 1923 chargeable uptin the revenue of
1824.
The amount of bonds in suit on the 30th or September last, was
3,909,000 dollen, which is 92,000 more than was in suit on the
same day of the preceding year. Deducting from the whole
amourt of duties outstanding on bonds and otherwise on the 30th
of September last, the debentures actually' chargeable Munn them
and the bonds in suit, it is estimated that the sum payable after the
expiration of the present year, will be about 12.200,000 dollars.
This amount, however, is subject to debentures, which may still be
issued ; but as no allowance has already been made for throe which
are now chargeable upon it, no considerable deduction on that ac-
count is to he expected. A portion of the amount also is not pay-
able until 1926; but the residue, together with so much of the
duties accruing in the fourth quarter of the present, and in the
whole of the next year, as may be received during that year, will,
after deducting the expenses of collection, constitute the receipts
from the customs during the year 1823.
The productiveness of the customs, however, depends upon the
state of the foreign commerce of the nation. It is estimated that,
in the year ending on the 30th of September last, the value of do.
mettle articles exported was 4!h.1114,710 dollars, which exceeded by
2.529,302 the tunou:'t exported in the preceding year; and that the
value of foreign articles exported was 25,348.792 dollars. which
' was less by 2,294.1140 titan the amount exported in the preceding
Tear. The value of imports (luting the same period is estimated at
:8.519,183 dollars, which exceeds the imports of the preceding year
by 939911,
For three years past the average annual value of imports has
been 79.778,997 dollars; that of foreign articles exported 25,029,201
dollars; and that of domestic articles exported 48.904.732. The
little fluctuation that has taken place in these years. and the int-
prosement in the last year. may be regarded as indications that
the commerce of the country is tending to a regular and sound
state. If no extraordinary events should occur to interrupt it, it
is reasonable to infer that there will be no material or unfavour-
able change in the ensuing year.
For the two years ending on the 31st December, the average
annual gross amount of duties on imports was 23,227.C33 dollars.
This aunt, upon the annual ave:ege value of the whole imparts.
tions fur the three years ending on the 30th September, 1924. was
21!2 per cent.; and, upon the average amount of importations,
after per
the exports of foreign articles, it was 42.42 dollars
per cent.
The operation of the new tariff upon the revenue cannot, now,
he correctly estimated. (in one important branch of imports
those frost': beyond the Cape of Good Hope, its provisions will not
take effect until the Ist of January next. As it is only singe the
Ist of July last that it has been in operation in regard to other
i 1 portations, and as the collectors arc allowed, by law, three
months for rendering their account., the addition caused by the
rew tariff cannot, even for that portion of the imports and for one
quarter of the year, be stated with perfect accuracy. It is beheyed
however, that the investigation which has been made with a view
to that object,, alliods data for cerium lug its effects with sufficient.
exactness for the present purpose. It has been found, diet, upon
the whole importations (estimating their value at the rates adopted
I:1 forming the statistical report.) in the three quarters ef the year
ending on the 30th of Jttne. 11124. the gross amount of ditties was
27 dollars 43 per cent. and that, if the rates of the present tariff had
been ciplied to the same importations, the duties would lieve
amounted to 30 dollars, 30 per cent.; which is equal to an increase
upon the amount of duties, of 10 dollara, 39 per cent. It also nn-
' pears. that, in eight tithe principal ports of the United States, die
rate of duties upon the whole amount of importations during the
third glitter el the year 1823. was 28.311 dollars; and, during the
earreapo ding quarter of the year 1824, it was 30 911 dollars per cent.
But, it is to be observed that in the third quarter of 11124, the im-
porteCons front beyond the L'ape of Good Hope were not subjected
to the increased rates of the new tariff These, it is estituated,
would have made the rate of duties in that quarter 31.40 dollars per
cent. ; w rich is equal to an increase, upon the amount of duties,
of 7.5; dollars per cent. ('pun the whole, therefore, it is believed,
that the revenue derived from imports will be Increased by the
operation of the new tariff in a ratio nearly equal to that in which
it is estimated to have been increased during the third quarter
of the present year in the ports above mentioned—or, about 7?,
per cent. This increase, however, will produce less augmentatiott
in the actual receipts into the Treasury during the year 1925 than
in subsequent years.
With these views, the receipts into the Treasury, during the
year 1:125. arc estimated a. follows :
Columns, 20.000,000 dollars; lands, 1,000.000 dollars; bank
dividends, 330,1100 dollars; miscellaneous and incidental. 150,000
dollars—making 21.300,000 dollen; and the residue of the loan
authorized by the act of 26th of Slay Last, 2,450,000 dollars, form-
ing an aggregate of 23.950,000 dollars.
The expenditures of the year are estimated as follows: '
Civil, diplomatic, and miscellaneous. 1.t.C3.020 dollars; military
service. 5,013,2113 dollar.; eaval service, inclutling the gradual
increase of the navy. 3,044,789. I'ublic debt. including a pay-
ment of 7.834,370 dollars of principal, 11,902,083 dollars—making
together.2l,7os,lfZ dollars.
Which will leave in the Treasury, on the Ist of January. 192.5.
after satisfying all the demands of the year 1825, a surplus estimated
at 2,244,839 dollars.

the side, but not dangerously, and he was able to return
home to his residence in Seymour-street.
A few weeks since, a labourer employed in digging flints,
near Hollingbury Castle (the ancient earthworb or camp
on the summit of the hill between Brighton and Summer),
discovered an interesting group of antiquities, placed very
superficially in a slight excavation co the chalk rock. It
coliAved 01 a brass instrument called a cdt, a nearly cir.
cular ornament spirally fluted, and having two rings placed
loosely on the extremities, and four armillcr or bracelets for
the wrist, of a very peculiar shape. All these ornaments
are composed of a metallic substance which, from, dr.! al,.
peatanee of those par:s where the green patina with which
they are encrusted has been removed, must have originally
possessed a lustre but little inferior to burnished gold.
They arc clearly either of Roman or Anglo-Roman origin,
and probably were buried on or near the site of interment
of the individual to whom they belonged.

Another death, occasioned by an accidental pugilistic
combat, occurred on Saturday, at Pinner-green, in Buck-
inghamshire. Winter and nolines, labouring men, went
out to fight, after a drunken squabble, apulled each
other about for more than two hours, when Winter was
thrown heavily. lie never spoke after, and was taken
senseless to the Ilape and Anchor, where he expired in
three hours after.

" Obeying. as I always have until now, the voice of the law,
which conies from the Representatives of a free nation, I was ready
to suffer even death in defence of the virtuous Mexican elected by
our %%I:eland hearts. If the remembrance VI the unalterable con-
stancy with which I always maintained our rational dignity, is
pletstetg ; also, of the sacrifices (small indeed) which I made in
the beet of ceases ; I wiU say that my most ardent wish always has
been !o-ntark niy character aril political faith, with submission to
the supreme authority, firm adherence to just principles, and defer-
ence to the public voice.
" A strict obedience, proceeding front my sense of duty, makes
me accept an office, which the laws forbid me to refuse. This sacred
investiture of power should hare been to some more experienced
subject, who would have consummated the great and immortal work
of rout 'Mon).
" cannot express m• gratinble toward the (lotted States of
Mexico ; I have been meditating it ever since the hour in which I
was informed that, by the Spain:lllMM suffrage of my fellow-citi-
zens, the greit weight of public administration rested upon my
weak shoulders. Thus situated I have invoked the protection of
the Eternal and Sovereign Dispenser of all good, that he might
heap his blessings upon the great nation that has honoured me with
its confidence, that he might lead me towards its aggrandizement
through the paths of justice.
" Fathers of our country ! depositaries of the public favor !
such are my sentiments in your august presence. The oath which
I shall this day pronounce, will ever be renewed before God, before
man and posterity.
" However, I will reprevnt to all my fellow.citizens, that the
hark of our State has to encounter a heavy and tempestuous sea—
that the vigilance and strength of the pilot cannot overcome the fury
of the winds--that her hull is not sound, andlarkness not yet entire-
ly removed from our northern star. Dangers are numerous, our
circumstances precarious; and nothing but the wisdom and pru-
dence of the representatives of the nation, aided by the Ruler of
our destinies, can pilot ear bark to the port of happiness.
•• The peat constitutional chart, the anchor of our hopes, de-
fends the powers and guides the aexiliaries of Government. The
effects of the administration which this day begins, will be attri-
buted to the wisdomot the Sovereign Constituint Congress at Mexi-
co—to the politiesuoG the future Chamber of Representatives—
to the skill and prartertet of the honourable Members of Congress;
tinally, to the enlixittenett Government and Authorities.
•• For my part, I will always respect right, and see duty fulfilled.
Our holy religion will neither wear the mournful garb of supersti-
lion, nor shall she be exposed to licentiousness. Independenze
shall be waled with n:y blood, and Liberty lost but with my life.
The union between all the Inhabit:tuts of the Republic, will be
firm and unalterable—persons and property shall be sacred—and
thus will puldie confidence be established. The form of Federal
Government adopted by the nation, must be maintained with all the
vigour of the laws. the nation shall be enlightened, and sound
morals diffused throughout our territory; its strongest support
shall be the liberty of the press.
" My care and vigilance will be directed towards the organization
and discipline of the army, and due regard for the soldiers of the
State—objects which are as interesting as independence itself. The
Mexican Bag shall Peat on the ocean, and over our shores. Friendly
relations with Foreign Powers will be cultivated, with the attention
required by our political existence, and by the good name of the
Mexican States. Nor shall any means of prosperity and greatness
be neglected.

" Ss your representative, my inexperience will probably be the
comic of many errors; but never, never shall they be intentional ;
therefore beg your indulge:lee.
`• Such ars the dictates of nil heart--such my principles. Mar
perish a thica3and tortes over St ever I deviate from filial, or blast
the hopes of my country."

BRISTOL SHIP CANAL.
Mr. InglfsAtail thought proper to calla meeting of the
public, and of the subscribers to this grrat national unikr-
biking, by an anonymous wirer' tisement, which was further
and duty posted by placards at the door of the London Ta-
vern, inviting all who passed to enter, as the chair would be
taken at one precisely. Passing at the time, and feeling
highly interested in every thing relative to this impm tan(
public work, an ascent of two pair of stairs landed us in
a room of large dimensions, occupied only with empty
benches, on which it did not appear that any sub.
scribers would be likely to seat themselves. However, at
a quarter past one, Mr. Ing'is appeared, and stated that a
Mr. Johnstone would take the chair, if any one would se-
cond the motion for his so doing, which was dune in due
form.

The fears expressed in our last, that a vessel bad been
lost in Carmarthen Bay, have unfortunately proved to be
too true. On the morning of Tuesday se'nnight the sloop
Menai, of Newport, Pembrokeshire, foundered off Rossilly,
and all hands on board perished. Although she was seen
going down, not the least assistance conkl be afforded her
or her ill-fated crew. A great part of her ricgin,c, has been
since washed ashore, and secured for ill,: bencit of the
owners.—Giunce!:,- ry•

Several Gentlemen talked together, but no one could ap-
Patently discover what the object of the meeting was, unfit
Mr. Inglis became a little warm, not withstamlin4 the cool-
ness of the apartment, and told them that he had paid, or
would pay, for the room, and that he wished to be heard ;
when silence was obtained, he informed them that he had
been black-balled by some one or other of the Committee, and
ateurie of the list, and applied such epithets to the respect-
able individuals constituting the present Committee, as we
would not willingly, for his make and for the sake of de-
Comm, put upon record : however, the worthy gentleman
seems to find comfort and 'airport in his pod friend, Mr.
Fortur.e, a person unknown to us, but who de-
scribed himself as of the city of London, who was d_•ter-
mined to hear the whole complaint of his oppressed friend ;
but as it appeared to the company present that Mr. Inglis
had nothing to complain of respecting the projected Canal,
but, on the contrary, was exceedingly favourable to the
success of it, a wish in which the r,st of the company
concurred, it was moved that the meeting should
adjourn, which was strongly opposed by Mr. Inglis
and his friend Fortune; however, the Chair be-
ing appealed to, in time the worthy Gentleman was
aroused to the duties of his important station, which,
by the bye, he had apparently forgotten, his atten-
tion having been occupied with a black sniff-box, which
we cannot say that " ever and anon he gave his nose," but
which was, nevertheless, not without its attractions. How-
ever, by the kind assistance of one of the company, he was
furnished, in pencil, -with the needful, to prevent mistake,
to wit—" It is moved Mat this ifeetingda adjourn," which
being read, was carried unanimously, excepting friend For-
tune. who informed that Mere Chairman that be was wrong
and foolish in putting !he adjournment. The question of
adjournment was put to the vote, but not one Hand was
held up, Mr. Fortune frowning in displeasure upon the
Chairman, and shrugging up his shoulders at his sim-
plicity.
The Meeting was dissolved, earl the whole company de-
parted, except about half a dozen, including Mr. john-
stone, Mr. Inglis, and Mr. Fortune, with whom Mr.
Inglis obtained a hearing, in the midst of which a few of
the departed returned ; still the principal auditor was Mr.
Fortune, and when Mr. Inglia had any heavy document to
refer to. Mr. Fortune advised him to pass that, as he (Mr.
F.) had an appointment to which he must attend ; and at
a quarter past two, having ourselves also mare important
engagements, which this punctuality reminded us of, we
abandoned the meeting, as others had done before us, in
disgust; we afterwards heard it had been finally adjourned.

D.v:r's Sow—Oatotx or me PitnAsE.—A few years
ago, one David Llovd, a Welshman, who kept an Inn at
Hereford, had a living sow with six legs; and the circum-
stance being publicly known, great numbers of all descrip-
tions resorted to the house. It happened that David had a
wife, who was much addicted to drunkenness, and for
which be used frequently to bestow on her a very severe
drubbing. One day in particular, having taken a second
extra cup, which operated in a very powerful manner, and
dreading the usual consequences, she went into the yard,
opened the stye-door, let out the ►ow, and lay down in its
place, hoping that a short unmolested nap would sufficiently
dispel the fumes of the liquor. In the mean time, how.
ever, a company arrived to see the so-much-talked-of
; and Daxy, proud of his office, ushered them to the
stye, exclaiming, " Did any of you ever see so uncommon
a creature before?"—" Indeed, Davy," said one of the
farmers. " I never before observed a sow so very drunk

been considerably, heightened by an eloquent champion,
the author of the favourite Gijos, " Smiles and Tears,"
a delightful volume of Sketches and Tales, which has
attracted so much notice in the literary world. The in-
justice of hhtltting a female out of society in consoquencc
of her firs: error is most feelingly and forcibly painted.
