ROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.—OR Monday a
meeting of the friends and supporters of the Protestant
Association was held at the Lower Room, Exeter-hall, for
the purpose of proposing a petition to Parliament, praLieg
that the clause in the Act introduced last Session of l'er-
liarnert for the better ordering of prisons, enabling
" Popish chaplains to be appointed in all prisons contain-
ing upwards of fifty Catholics," such chaplains to be paid
by the State. should not be passed into a law. W.
Blackstone, Esq., M. P., in the chair. Tha chairman and
the Revel end Dr. Croly were the principal speakers.
Resolutions to the above effect were unanimously ngreed
to. There were about one hundred persons present.
A NEW ERA IN AGRICULTURE._" A new era
in Agriculture" is a pompous and somewhat startling en'
nouncement, yet such is the heading of a paragraph which
we fled staring us in the face in every newspaper in the
kingdom. All the old-fashioned notions, and all the musty
experience which has been gathering and increasing ever,
since the writing of the Georgics—all the tumbrels, and
harrows, and half-finished steam-ploughs, and the Core-
laws, we, suppose, elan- with them, are to be swept clear
away, and tile the farmer is to begin the world aril'
Quite a new cra ! What a beautiful world we shall ma"
of it Really the cow-cabbages that required rather
a lengthy ladder to enable a man to pick the caterpillars
off the bottom cleaves, were mere dwarfs to this clover!
‘• It must be sown in April" too—the first day of that
month, we presume; and in about thirty days you may send
out your men to fagoting clover—for of course it is cut
t
down iiith a good stout axe—laying out the thin":
stalks for hurdles or nice French bean sticks. Our 004
fear is that a few fields will grow such immense iquan-
tities that till the farm will have to be turned into a stack
yard. What excellent covert, too, it would form in case
of war. Only think of a regiment of dragoons or three
thousand Chartist pikemen being concealed in a clover lay
of three weeks growth, ready to sally out and Olt:
towns and hen-roosts We hope some Essex farmer ",
-been fortunate enough to secure at least one grain of ti„.'

On Monday afternoon, as the Ipswichii°l/
coach was coming through Shotesham to Norwich, ther
horses by some means became frightened, and started ei
at a tremendous pace. The coachman, who is a Tee
steady man, used every possible means to bring them eaie,
controul ; in the midst, however, of his exertions, O r'tbis

was still a lady inside. The horses coatinued their courSO
through Newton toll-gate, over Hartford Bridges, 1111 d
were stopped near the top of the hill, where the coach was
run against the bank. The lady was discovered lying in-
sensiLle on the road, somewhere between Shotesham and
the toil-gate, by Mr. Long, of Duneton, who assisted in
conveying her to a cottage near, and immediately sent og
for Mr. Merry, of Shotesham, and Mr. Dalrymple. The
lady is Miss Kertsey, of this city, and we regret to state,
that at the time we write she lies in a very precarious state,

TRADITION EXTRAORDINARY.—Thert 25
now living in the vicinity of Aberdeen, a gentleman wbo
can boast personal acquaintance with an individual who had
seen and conversed with another who had actually been
present at the battle of Flodden Field. Marvellous as this
may appear, it is not the less true. The gentleman t°
whom we allude was personally acquainted with the cele-
brated Peter Garden of Auchterless, who died in 1775, at
the reputed age of 131, although there is reason to believe
that he was several years older. Peter in his yo
suite
days was servant to Garden of Troup, whom he accompsowu
one journey through the north of England, where be saw
and conversed with the famous Henry Jenkins, who died to
1670. at the age of 169. Jenkins was born in 1501, aa°
was of course I 2 years of age at the battle of Flodden
Field ; and on that memorable occasion he bore arrows to
an English nobleman, whom he served in the capacitY of
p,ge. Our reason for thinking that Peter Garden was
older than he is reported to have been is this :—There arc
still living individuals who knew Peter, and to whom be
used to boast that he had served under Montrose, and bee°
present at the fight of Fyyie. He used to say he was then
a "gey luun," and page to Ogilvie of Forglen. He had a
vivid recollection of the encounter and personal appearance
of Montrose. The battle of Fysie was fought in the year
1644 ; and, supposing th at Peter was then between ly
and 12 3 ears of age, he must have been at least 141'
years old when he died.—Aberdeen Journal, April 6, 1839.
One morning at the beginning of the week, aS a
Caen paper states, a man was observed asleep on the Ildge
orthe roof of a lofty house at the corner of the Place
Fontelle, in that town, and in such a position that the
slightest movement must have precipitated him to the
ground with the certainty of being killed. The persons
who saw him were at a loss how to get at him, and a aim" 1
nev.sweeper was applied to, but be declined the under'
taking as too dangerous. At length a servant mounted
with a rope, and with great address slung it over tbs
man's body, and drew him into a place of safety without
a
waking him. Whsn roused to his senses the man declared
that he had been at work on the roof as a tiler, but bay''
goon up in a state of intoxication, had fallen asleep, an
must have rolled insensibly to the edge of the roof, theta
he mad been h'ndered from falling only by a water pipes an
by his foot having caught against the angle of a chiinneyfic
