Sunday last the eltarela-yard and streets leading to BeHasid
Green Church were crowded by thousasda of spectator, to
witness the ceremony of a young woman, named Sarah Green,
doing penance, by order of the Surrogate of the Erclesiasitical
Court, by standing in • white sheet M the chancel of the
church, for calling her aister•in-taw, Mrs. Ann Johnson, wife
of Kr. Wm. Johanna, of the above parish, " W—e." How-
ever, the eeresamag, of standing in the sheet was dispensed
with, to the disappointment of the multitude; but the
female, wbu was a very Ise young woman, attired in a white
dress, repeated the following recantation in the vestry, in the
presence of the rector, chsechwardear, the person r•lum.
Dialed, ••d five or eis of her relations:—" 1, Sarah Green,
wife of James Green, have tittered and 'pekes several scan-
dalous and opprobi ions words against Ann Johnson, wife of
Wm. Johnson, of St. Matthew, Bethnal Green. to the great
offence of Almighty God, the scandal of the Christian reli.
;Pun, and the iajney and reproach of my neighbour's credit,
by calling bee ' W—e.' therefore, before God and you,
►umbly confess and acknowledge such i•ffence, sad am heart-
ily sorry fur the same, sod do "Stsk her forgiveness, and pro-
mise hereafter sever to offend her in the like mann. r„ God
assisting me." The female appeared very Enoch affected;
and after the form was gone through was led out of the
church by the beadles, who conducted her safely t►rough the
mob, and abe was tuaveyed berme is • coatis.

On Tuesday evening the .90th ult. a boatman had
hi. pocket picked in a public-house at Gainsbo-
sough. He had been engaged in tossing fur liquor,
when a dispute arising. he threw off his waistcoat to
fight, not remembering at the moment that his poc-
ket-book, containing several bills, was in it. Before
the dispute ass ended, the book was abstracted, and
although immediately missed, it could not be re-
covered. A few days afierwsrds the book with one
of the drafts was found in the neighbourhood, but
the owner has not been so fortunate iu recovering a
larger draft, slid 111. in notes.

ARRIVAL OP tit
)IRINCE sad PRINCESS of DENMARK.

bOVEIt, WAY 14.
Five 0*(104, p. 'L.—The Prince Urgent Fopl
yacht proceeded Irons the Deism this morning, and
was aern from this place at about eight o'clock.
This being a very clear day, she was afterward.
seen at anchor off Calais, where she reurnined till
about half an hour ago, wheu it was perceived she
had just got under weigh wish a Ane breeze for that
port. The Prince will Prince's of Denmark went.
through Boulogne yesterday, on their way to Ca-
lais. Coma Molike, the Ambassador from the
King of Denmark, and Mr. Campbell. the Da-
nish Consul-General, arrived at the Ship lon this
morning from Loridoo, to receive their Royal
Highnesses.
Half puss Fight o*Cloek —The Prince and
Princess of Denmark have just landed from the
Prince Hegent yacht, under a salute from the
Heights' battery ; their Royal Hightsevses were re.
mitred by a guard of honour, and were cheered by
an immense concourse of people. The evening
being very fine the sight was very imposing, the
whole of the weasels in the harbour having nu-
merous flags flying. Every class of people vied
with each other iu demonstrations of respect to she
Royal Visitor., who seemed highly gratified by the
cordiality and kindness of their reception.
A French Paper says—" The Prince of Den-
mark, previous to his departure from Paris, sent •
very beautiful gold 'snuff-box to M. Denton, by M.
Adler, his private secretary ; his Royal Highness
also pre.ei.ted one. enriched wish a fine manic, to
M. Bourdet de la Nievre, who accompanied him in
his mineralogical and geological excursions iu Swit-
zerland."

It has been discovered that the old national debt
of Spain is not half so large as was thought. When
the regulation of the finances occupied the Corte',
the Minister for this Department made a return or
estimate of the old public debt, from such imperfect
data and records as he found in the offices; bat as
very incorrect accounts had been kept of sums paid
off, a notice was given to all public creditors to
bring in their statements and claims, and the term
of two years granter'. It now turns out. that the
amount claimed is not half as much as the one set
down in the Alinister's estimate.

The gunpowder plot at Abbeyleix. which is al-
luded to in the Dublin papers of Thursday, has
been the subject of conversation in this city (Kil-
kenny) for several days. The reports here united
every buy in the extensive mammy at that piece in
■ conspiracy to blow up the school-house, a noble
mansion, &c. &c. We did not notice these rumours
at the time, nor would we have adverted to thi-m
now had they not found their way into the Dublin
Journals. Of whatever fully the boys may have
been guilty, we have no doubt that rumour has
greatly exaggerated it.—( ',roster Joined.)

Sir B. Warr, Bart. is now et his seat et TOT-
stork, which is very delightfully situated near the
banks of the river Taw ; the lend belonging to this
manor i 4 supposed to be superior to any in the
North of Devon, extending near seven miles in
length along the bunk of the Taw. The whole
estate is richly planted with trees, which, from its
situation, has a beautiful picturesque appearance,
and cannot fail to sweet the notice of the traveller.
A reduction of above 30 per cent, on his rents
has been made within a few years by this respected
gentleman.

A hedge sparrow's nest was nn Thursday found is
• garden in Stamford. coo►aioiug four eggs; a
mouse had taken poNsession of pert of the nes►, and
had deposited therein seven young ones. wh►ch were
alive when the nest was discovered.

We have had brought to our office, ■s a proof of
the mildness of the season, a sprig of hawthorn,
nut only in full flower, but bearing fruit, in the
greatest perfection, and perfectly ripe !—(IN ming.
ham Review.)
We are credibly informed, that a person of the
name of THOMAS MORLEY. now residing at
Broughton, in this county, who had been in a de.
dining state of health some time, has had five toads
expelled from his body ! and is now in • fair way
for the recovery of his health.—(l bid.)

The Monitrir contains a Royal Ordinance. which
decrees that all 'pint distilleries in Paris shall cease
working on the 20th of June next. It al.io deter-
mines the indemnity which sh.II be paid to the pro.
prietors. From one of the articles, it would appear
that a city is not considered a fit situation for such
establishments.

A letter from St. Amend, near Valenciennes,
states, that in the sfiernoon of the 7th instant the
effects of • tremendous morn► were severely felt in
that city and its environs. There was a very heavy
shower of hailstones, some of which were of tihe size
of •ii egg : the fruits of the earth a►e crushed, and
•II hope of the li t destroyed in these places
over which the storm passed.
