We understand that it is the determination of the ma-
nagement at both the great winter houses to discourage, in
future, the custom which has of late years obtained, of pay-
ing their principal performers by nightly salaries, a system
as injurious to the interests of the theatres as to the pro-
fession itself. Mr. Macteady has in consequence, it is
said, accepted an engagement at Drury-lane, on a weekly
salary ; and Mr. Ward is to take the tir.t line in tragedy
ar Covent-garden, on the same plan.

CODDLTT AND Till CATNOI.ICB.-•-It is now quite ap-
parent, that the real object Cobbett has in view, is to ex-
cite disunion amongst the Catholics, to prevent their rally-
ing around Mr. O'Connell, or any other leader, and to ren-
der their best friends suspected in their eyes. For this!
purpose he equally slanders the living and the dead, and
dares even to assail the hallowed memory of Grattan. Still
further to paralyse their efforts, and to deprive them of all
motive or opportunity for combined exertion, he asserts,
with evident satisfaction, " the King's declaration, through-
the Duke of York, the speeches of Lords Liverpool and
Eldon, and the consequent peat hostile majority of the
Lords, sanctioned too by rent public ameobation, seem to
have set the seal to never-ending exclusion." Is not this
showing the cloven foot?—Dublin Freeman's Journal.
On the 6th of nest January the Bank of Ireland tokens
of all kinds cease to be a legal tender. Being then no
longer upon a footing with the coin of realm, they will of
course be worth nothing beyond their intrinsic value, and
consequently they will sufKr a depreciation of about thirty
per cent., or three-pmce in a tenpenny. It is understood
that th!.! Bank of Ireland is not bound to take them be-
yond the term mentioned.-1{ aterford Mirror.

ANAGRAMS.

The writing of anagrams, trivial as this recreation ma•
now appear, was once the favourite amusement of men el
learning and ingenuity, and has found an advocate in en,.:
of the most learned of our English writets, Camden, whe
in his " Remains" has bequeathed to the world a math.
on this curious subject.
Of the antiquity of this invention there can be no doubt.
Camden seems disposed to refer its origin even to the tithe
of Noses, and conceives that it might have formed ROM
share in the mystical traditions, afterwards called tobabs,
communicated by that divine lawgiver to the choler;
Seventy. Another writer on this subject observes, that the
cabalists among the Jews were professed anagramma,ists ;
the third part of their art which they called /hems's', Os:
is " changing," being nothing but the art of making
acs-
grams, or of finding the hidden and mystical routing in
names ; which they did by transposing, changing, sad dif-
ferenily combining the letters of those names. '/bus, of
the letters of Nuah's name in Hebrew, they made era,e ;
and of the Messiah, they made he shall tejoier.
Among modern nations, the French appear t I have most
cultivated this species of wit, which Camden says " they
exceedingly admire and celebrate for the deep and far-
fetched antiquity and mystical meaning thereof." In the
reign of Francis the First, when learning began to revive,
they " began to distil their Wits herein ; and unclog
their first efforts was an anagram on the name of that
monarch."

France:As do Valoy—Da &con Gull royal.

Le Labourettr, the historian, who wrote the " History of
Charks VI," and the " Genealogies of Noble Families,"
was extremely well pleased with an anagram mails on the
inistrt lb of Charles IX. which he assures us was histori-
cally just. Her name was Marie Touche', which being
an agrammatised, forms Je chorine tout. An equally hen,
anagram was made of the name of the assassin of llctiry
111. of France. lie war called Frere Jacques Clement.
The anagram, without changing any thing, is C'est tent' er
qui m'a erre. Another, not less expressive, was formed by
changing Louis de Boucherat into est la lo uelie Ju eel, NI.
de Boucht rat being Chancellor of France when the annum
was made.

Of the success of the ROMIIIIS in this art we hare no ex-
amples. Ca t.vt ps alludes to the partiality of the Italian.
for it. "In England," he adds, " I know some, who,
forty years since, have bestowed some idle hours herrtu
with good success ; albeit our English names, running
rough with cragged consonants, are not so smooth and easy
for transposition as the French and Italian.** Accord-
ingly, he only furnishes a single instance of Engli.h ans-
gratnrcatism, which is on James I.

" And this," save the author, gravely, "shows his on•

lessor to the fibrous ging Arthur !"l'his anagram was

a note to one of Owen's epigrams, published a collection

tote, that the anagram was written previous to the actual
occurrence of the event which it seemed to indicate. fa
that case, ii is not merely applicable to its original, as re-
quired by Canuleu's definition, but prophetically so, which
it is presumed must be the highest merit, or ne plea ultra w.
this species of composition.
Sir Symonds d'Ewes, in his account of Carr. Earl of Se-
rnerset and his wife, notices an anagram which appeared
the time "not unworthy to be owned by the rarest wits 0:*
the age."

One " Alistris Ma sr Foos," who nourished in the time
of Charles I, was pertaps the most prolific anagrammatir.
England over produced. She published a whole bock of
anagrams and acrostics, under the title of "Fare •
Rowts," in which the names of the King and (loom.
and all the Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts, EthoiA•
Barons, Privy Councillors, Knights of the Carter, and
Judges of the three Kingdoms of England, fleottandt au'.
Ireland, to the number of no less than four hundred apt•
twenty, are ansgrammatized, and each anagram illusresml

an presenting his anagram, that he had tois-spelt

of Jesus Christ, both East and West, without, however,
any alteration or change of the sacred rites, discipline, cute.
toms, and institutions of the Greek Church • the whole
under the belief, and in manner entirely cot:formable to
what was decided in the Holy Council of Florence. Such
is, Moat Holy Father, the desire of the Provisional Govern-
ment of the Metropolitans, of the Archbishops, Bishops,
and of all the Elders of Greece. August mysteries! sub.
lime and wonderful decrees of the wisdom of a Got who
watches over the nations of Christians, redeemed by the
precious blood of his only Son! The Meek Lamb, the
most worthy Patriarch of Constantinople, Gregory expired
upon the veaffuld by the sanguinary ruder of the Sultan, a
declared enemy of the Christian name. It was thus
perished his illustrious predecessor the Learned Pa-
triarch Cyrillus, after having been torn hom his
native place, Adrianople. The fate of the gftter part
of the Synod has been similar to that of its venerable
Chief. Their forsaken bodies were delivered to the Jews,
who, in hatred of Christianity, after having dragged them
through the streets, venting imprecations upon them, and
treating them with all manner of outrage, threw thou into
the sea. The body of the patriarch was saved from the
waves, and secretly picked up by a Christian, who trans-
pened it to Odessa, where it was buried with all the Ito-
noun befitting his rank and virtues. 'flie oilier victims
were not so fortunate, except the venerable octogenarian
Denys, metropolitan of Ephesus, who, after having been
dragged through the dirt by the Jews, was at last sold to
the Greeks for its weight in gold, and buried in the church
of the most Holy Virgin at Ikea.
" The Greek Church was then reduced to widowhood,
without a synod or a bead. The Sultan created new Pa-
triarchs and new Bishops to occupy the empty places of
those holy men slain by his exterminating sword. But in
free Greece, amid the tumult of arms, the provisional Go-
vernment has occupied itself with assembling the ecclesias-
tical heirareby in Synod ; with declaring the new Patriarch
and Bishops illegitimate intruders, and with an athewiatising
with all the rigour of the canons, all who should acknow-
ledge or communicate with them, so that they were only
obeyed among that portion of the Greeks who yet groan
under the tyranny of the Turks. In this state of widowhood
Greece returns to the Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Christ
and Supreme Chief of the Church ; she prays him unite
all the faithful shepherds with the children of the Greek
Church, of whatever rank, dignity, or condition they may
be, and treat them as his own children, according to the
promise of divine wisdom. (Et fief soon *vile, el souls

" The example of the Greek Church, when welded to the
Roman Pontiff, will soon be followed by that of her
daughters, the Churches of Bulgaria, Smits, Aloblavia, and
even Russia, and it will then be that the prophecy of the
gospel will be accomplished : " Ut flies Jr. qui (rani Ilia-
peal eottgregarel in varim."t

to you, to recal to your holy authority all the dispersed cheep;

HORRORS OF fire FRENCIT REVOLUTION.
Th.• following narrative of the atrocious massacres in
the prisons of Paris, plaaned by Danton and his associates,
on the night of the 30th and Ste of August, 1793, and
known as the work of the Septemberizere, is eat:serest from
the History of the French Revolution lately written by
'ti Thiers and M. Rodin.
" Three years before, it peon named Maillanl figured
at the heel of the band of wipes who marched to Ver-
4ailks on the famous Stb of (Weber. This Maillsel was
'a bailiff by wecupatioa ; in mind, intelligent; in disposi-
tion, ranguinaq ; and, Mace the unquiet times of the re-
httion had left every roan at large to etre his own Ms
fluene, without say cowered or impediment, lie had col-
Ilected together a band of ignorant and low-born associates,
Who weft prepared for every desperate undertaking. lie
himself was captain of this bead ; and, if we may credit
• discovery which transpired so long a time after the crest
it refers to, he was employed by. Dalton and his party is
the execution of the most atrocious cruelties. He was
ordered to place himself is a situation best calculates' to
effect his dire intention; is prepare instrument. of death;
Ito take every precaution to stifle the cries of his victims;
I.bod to have viuegar„holly-hrosaii. lime, land covered car-
riages in readiness for all those purposes."
Oa the Id of Szptesober,-i-
-" The ministers assembled tar hotel of the marine de-
partment only waited to Denton, to hold their Council.
The whole city waste tiptoe. Terror reigned in the prisons.
The Royal Family, to whom every noise seemed menace,
anxiously demanded the cause of so much agitation. The
gaukru of the several prisons appeared struck with conster-
nation. Ile who had the tare of the Ablaye sent away
his wife and children in the morning. Dinner was served
to the prisoners two hours before the accustoms! time
and all the knives were takes Irma their plates. Alarmed
at these circumstances, the victims demanded the cause
with importunity, but could obtain no answer. At two
o'clock the generale commenced beating to arms ; the
tocsin sounded, and the alarunt cannon was fired. Troops
of citisens crowded to the Champ de Mars ; others sur-
rounded the commune and the assembly ; and all the
public places were, in like manner, thronged to elem.
" This was the moment chosen for the transfer of eighty
recusant priests from the Hotel de Ville to the Abbey.l
They were removed in hackney-cosehee, escorted by Memel
and some confederates, and conducted at a slaw papa
toward, the Faubourg St. Germain, along the pass, the
l'ont Neuf, and the Rue Dauphine. The rabble sur-
rounded the carriages, and heaped upon them every insult.
The confederates pointed them out: Behold,' said they,
' the conspirators *lto had designed to murder us, our
wives, and children, whilst we were on the frontiers.'
These words heightened the indignation of the multitude.
The doors of the coaches were opened, and the unfortu-
nates within endeavoured to eliut them to shelter themselves
from the . outrages which assailed them, but the attempt
was ineffectual, and they were forced to sit patiently under
the assaults of the infuriated populace. They at last ar-
rived at the court of the Abbaye. An immense crowd had
collected there to meet them. This court led to the
prisons, and communicated with the saloon where the sec-
(ions of the ' Four Nations' held their sittings. The first
carriage drew up before the door of the committee, and was
immediately surrounded by a throng of furious locking
men. Maillard was already there. The coach door being
opened the priest nearest to it descended, and was making
his way towards the committee, when he fell covered with
a thousand wounds. 'l' lie second end, &Toured to draw
back, but was dragged out by force, and suffered the fate
of the former. The two °there shared the same fate, and
their murderers then abassioned the Ora carriage, and
betook themselves to those which followed. These entered,
one after another, the fatal court, and the last of the
eighty priests expired amidst the savage acclamations of the
furious rabble.

" At the moment of the consummation of ibis bloody
deed, Hillaud-Varrennes le...ived on the spot. Of all those
concerned in these I:igittful massacres, he alone dared
constantly to approve of them, and appear personally active
in their perpetration. lie now came boldly forward, and,
with his scarf of office on his shoulders, walked in the
blood, and trampled on the bodies of the murdered priests,
addressing at the same time the butcher throng about him.
People, said he, you have done your duty, you have
I sacrificed your enennes. The, voice of Mediated was im-
mediately after heard above the crowd. There is nothing
more to be done here,' cried he, ' let us go to the church
of the Carmelites.'

"In this place uon priests were confined. The gang
broke into it, and the unhappy victims, giving up all hope
ejaculated a prayer to heaven, embraced one another, and
resigned themselves to death. The Archbishop of Arles
was first sought out, and, being soon discovered, was de-
'patched by a sabre cut over the neck. But the sword was
found too dilatory a weapon ; Are arms were, therefore re-
sorted to, and general discharges of musketry quickly
strewed the church with the bodies of the dead ; some also
full in the garden, others, in attempting to climb over the
walls, and some in the trees, where they had endeavoured
to conceal themselves.

" IVlrilst this massacre was carrying on at the church of
the Carmelites, Mallard, with a party of his band return-
ed to the Abbaye. lle presented himself at the section of
the Four Nations, covered with perspiration and blood,
and demanded ' wine for his brave comrades, who had de-
livered the nation from its enemies.' The committee,
struck with consternation, granted him twenty-four pints.
" This was served out upon tables in the court, in the
midst of the mangled bodies of those slain in the afternoon.
Th 3 wine was scarcely drank when another atrocious scene
took place. Mallard, who was the leader in all these mas-
sacres, pointing to the prison, cried out ' d I' Abbaye ' (to the
Abbey). Ile then led the way, and was followed by his
gang, who assaulted the gate of the prison with violence.
The poor wretches within heard the din, and considered
it a signal for their death. The gaoler and his wife
fainted through fright. The doors were burst open. The
first prisoners who were laid hold of were dragged out by the
feet, and thrown bleeding into the court, to be butchered by
the mob. Meanwhile Mallard and some of his most faithful
comrades demanded the gook r's register, and the keys of the
several prisons. (Inc of the gaolers, however, more bold
than the rest, cadeavosred to remonstrate ' • and, advancing
tenants the wicket of the door, he mounted on a stool, and
addressed the multitude: ' 41y friends,' said he ' I ace you
are bent upon the destruction of the aristocrats, the ene-
mies of the people, who have eonspired against the lives of
your wives and children. In this you are undoubtedly
right but you are geed citizens, you love justice, and
world be shocked. to dep your hands in innocent blood.'
' Yes, yes,' cried out the executioners. ' I ask, then,' re-
sumed the gaoler, ' if you do not expose yOUrself to the
danger of confounding the innocent with the guilty, alien
you rush like tigers upon your prey, waling no distinction,
and listening to no appeals.' 11, re he was interrupted by
one of the gang, who flourishing his sabre, exclaimed
• ll'ould you bare us sleep in the midst of danger ? If
the Prussians and Austrians were at Pails, would they
distinguish between guilt and innocence? I base a wife
and children, whom 1 wJI not leave in danger. If you
think fit, give the scoundrels arms, and we will engage an
equal number of them, Ina Paris thus: Le purged before
we depart." Bight, right,' exclaimed many emote, sad a
push was made figward; cevertheless they were at last
prevailed on to desist, and consent to a species of trial.
f he gaoler's books were then given up, and it was decided
that one of the band should be appointed president, to
reel the names, and the cause of every priseetier'• denti-
tion, and that immediate sentence should be passed or all
the culpripts. The Loden' of electing a kwftiarte now
engaged the attention of all, sod the natte of Maar(' was
shouted from every quarter. This bkiod.thirsty butcher
was, therefore, instantly invested with his terrific but eon-
, genial authority; and, sated before a table covered with

• .
i the pokes registers. turd surrounded by a few of his gang,
chosen at random front the multitude, to assist hint by
their advice, the prisoners were summoned, one after
another, before his appalling judgment sea:. They were
led out to their trial by hands already dyed in blood, and
then thrust among the wild beasts, panting for their
destruction. The sentence of condemnation was pro-
, nounced in these words—' Monsieur a la Ford (to (to the
j prison of La Force), and the unfortunate vietlllrhas then
precipitated through the p.trtition which separated the;
Judges front the exce..Atoll/is, and found his death on the,
blades of sabres already clotted with carnage.
" The first who went brought letere this dread tribunal
were the Swiss soldiers imprisoned in the Abbaye, whose
officers had been reronred to the Conciergerie. ' You are
those.' said Maillard, ' who assasainated the people oh the
loth August.' But we were attacked,' replied the unfi r-
tunates, ' and obeyed out commanders.' It dots not
signify,' resumed Maillard. coldly, and pronour.ccd the
sentence A la Force.' The wretched victims could not
mistake the dire import of these words, for they perceived
the menacing sabres on the other side of the wicket ; they
,hung back, and crowded behind one another in fear-
ful recoil, till one, more bold than the rest, asked,
1' Whither he must pass.' The door was opened to him ;
land, stooping his head, he rushed with hopeless despera-
non into the midst of sabres and pikes. The rest followed
'his example, and shared his fate.
" The females were all now locked up together in the
wile room, and other prisoners were brought forward.
Suveral accused of forgers nest suffered. After them the
celebrated titontmorin, whose acquittal hail caused so much
discontent. but bad not gained him his freedom. was let
lout. tieing presented to the blood-stained President, he
declared that he had been tried by the regular tribunal,
and could acknOwlettge smother. It!it es,' replied !fails
lard, prepare, nevertheless, for a different ssntence.'
The es-Minister. who uadoutood not this language, asked
for a ca'riage. Ile was answered he would tin".l one at the
it aof . lie then itlututteal permission to take With hint a
few necessaries, but, receiving no answer, he advanced
towards the wicket, and there discovered and fell into the
suare of death.
" After him, Thiery, the valet-dcschambre of the king,
was led forward. Like master, like man,' exelaimed
Medlar& and he was instantly assassinated. Boob and
Bocquillon then advanced. They were accused of having
been members of a secret otientnittee held at the Tuileries,
and this was sufficient fur their condemnation and death.
The night was now fast approaching, and the prisoners,
hearing the acclamations of the assassins, felt they had but
a few moments to live.

" This frightful massacre lasted the whole night. The
executioners and judges alternately exchanged their situa-
tions. Wine stimulated their thirst for blood, and the gob-
lets out of which they drank were marked with the prints of
their blood-dropping ringers. 'let in the midst of this car-
nage some victims were spared, and their lives were granted to
them with every frantic demonstration of drunken joy. One
young man, who was claimed by one of the section;, and de-
elated free from aristocracy, was acquitted in the midst of
acclamations of Long live the nation !' and carried in
triumph in the blood-stained arms of the executioners
The venerable Surobreuil, governor of the invalids, was
afterwards led forth and condemned. His daughter, from
the middle of the prison, heard his fate pronounced, and
lb pringing forward, darted into the midst of the plkes and
sabres, clung round her father, and implored mercy from
the murderers in such an heart-piercing accent, and such
torrents of tears, that their fury was for a moment 6U G•
pentled. To put her sensibility to the test, they offered her
• goblet full of blood. Drink,' said they, drink the
blood of the aristocrats !' She drank, and her father was
sa►ed. The daughter of Caaotte also succeeded in rescuing
her parent in like manner ; but she was still more happy
and obtained his safety without undergoing such a horri,:le
test of her affection.

" These scenes caused tears to stream from the eyes of
the assassin., yet they returned immediately to demand
fresh victims ; and one of those who had .diaplayed this
sensibility instantly resumed his dreadful office ut loading
out the prisoners to death, and was on the point of killing
the Fuger, because he had not supplied his victims with wa-
ter for the last twenty-four hours. Another of these singular
monsters interested himself in a prisoner whom he was lead-
ing to the wicket, because he heard him speak the language
of his country. Why are you here,' said he to 51. Journiac
de Bt. Mean), ' Urn are not a traitor, the president, who is
no fool, will give you justice. Do not tremble, but answer
me.' He was resented to Atillaird, who looking over the
register—' Ali, said he, Journiac, you are he who
wrote in the journal of the court and the city.' Nu,' replied
the prisoner, it is a calumny; I never wrote in it.'
'Fake care,' replied falsehood is punished
here with death. Did you not recently absent yourself to
join the army of the emigrants ?' • Thisia another calumny,'
replied he; ' 1 have a certificate attesting that I have been
for the last twenty-three months in Paris. WhosecertiScate
is it? Is the signature authentic?' Happily for Al. de Juurniac
a person was present to whom the subscnbtr of the certificate
was personally known. The signature was, therefore, declar-
ed worthy of credit. You see then,' resumed h. Juurniac,
that I have been calumniated.' If the calumniator was
here,' replied Maillard 'he should receive terrible justice.
lot answer me, were you imprisoned here for nothing ?'
' No,' answered M. de Journiac, I was known for an aris-
tocrat. Aristocrat ?' Yes, aristocrat ; but you are not
here to judge of opinions, but actions; mine are blameless ;
I have never conspired ; my soldiers, in the regiment which
I command, are devoted to ins, and, when at Nancy, urged
me to seise on Malseigne.' Struck with such courage, his
judges fixed their eyes on him with astonishment, and
Median! gave the signal of pardon. Immediately therein
of ' Live the nation !'resounded from all parts. Alt hastened
toembrace him ; and two of the by-stantlers, enclosing him
in their arms, led him safe and sound through the hedge of
swords and pikes which a few minutes before menaced his
life. U. de Journiac offered them money, but they re-
fused it, and only asked permission to embrace him.
Another prisoner, saved in the same manner, was conducted
to his house with similar enthusiasm. The execution. s,
all covered with blood, begged to be permitted to witness
the joy of his family, and immediately after returned to
the carnage. In such a state of over-wrought excitement,
the mind is keenly alive to all the emotions and instincts of
its nature ; they succeed each other rapidly and eonvul-
sively, alternately melting and firing the soul, and hurry-
ing those who have resigned themselves to their unre-
stained away from one extreme to the other with wild
caprice ; the passions, which seemed one moment tjueachtd
in tears, rise the next in flame; the whole man is subject
to delirious changes, and,he weeps and assassinates,with the
same heartfelt sincerity, in the short space of • few
minutes. Whilst wading in blood, he is arrested by ad-
miration of courage or devotion ; he is sensible of the
honour of appearing just, and vain of the semblance of
disinterestedutss. The events of the deplorable period
which we are now narrating afford many instances of
these striking contrarieties; and among this uumber must
be recorded the circumstance of the rubbers and mur-
derers of this night depositing the jewels found on some
of the prisoners with the committee of the abbey.

" But the massacre of the captives was not confined to I
one prison. The gang, having set their tools to work at the!
abbey, detached parties to follow their example, at the
Cltatekt, the Concietgerie, the Bernadius balpetriete, and
the Bicetre prisons, all of which were surrounded with
Ins:teed carcasses and streams of blood. When the morn.
ieg dawned upon the havoc of this frightful night the
spectacle it presented to the broad glare of day was as
sickening as it was horrifying. Billaud-Varreent repaired
early to the abbey, where, the evening before, he had
encouraged his miti•llien, as he termed them. lie now
again addressed them. Nly friends,' said he, in 'laugh-
; teiing these wretches you have saved your country. !Prance
