SUPERSTITION.—Had not the following anecdote
been told us on the authority of a gentleman of high re-
spectability, we should have found some difficulty in be-
lieving that so strange a superstition still had influence over
the minds of the inhabitants of the West Riding. On the
night of Christmas-Day our informant was returning to
Leeds in a gig, from a town a tow miles off, and wished to
light a cigar. He stopped at- a cottage by the wayside, and
begged to be allowed a light. " No," was the reply, "thou'lt
get no lights here to-night." Somewhat surprised at this
surly reply, he drove on for a mile or two, and, arriving at
a toll-bar, again preferred his request. "-No, Sir," said the
gate-keeper, " I shall let no light go out of my house to-
night." As there was no mending the matter, our friend
again proceeded to another toll-bar, and a third time re-
quested a light. He was very civilly told that he should
have a light with pleasure,had it not been Christmas night ;
but on that night, to allow a light to be taken out of the
house, would insure bad luck through the next year. Here
at length the mystery was solved. This silly superstition
was the cause which led to the refusals which so astonished
the traveller.—Leeds Times.

IRELAND.—At a time when, at length, the unhappy
state of affairs in Ireland is so seriously occupying the pub-
lic attention, it is indispensable, in order to come to a just
conclusion as to the policy or impolicy of the measures that
have been, and may be,,adopted towards her, that the most
authentic sources of information should be consulted for the
discovery of the causes which have brought about her present
misfortunes. For this purpose, it is impossible to select a more
valuable authority than Sir Jonah Barrington, who has been so
situated, through family, talent, and circumstances, as to be
conversant with every point connected with the history of
the country during the last fifty years. In his " Memoirs
of Ireland and the Union," which, we are glad to hear, are
occupying the earnest attention, of our legislators, Sir Jonah
Barrington hopes " to open wide the eyes of Great Britain
to the present dangers of Ireland ; to draw aside the curtain
of ignorance and prejudice by which her welfare has been so
long obscured ; to compare her once rising prosperity with
her existing miseries ; to discover the occult causes of their
continuance, and the false principles of her misrule ; to dis-
play her sacrifices for England, and to unmask her libellers
in both countries." This is, indeed, " a consummation de-
voutly to be wished."
Bombay papers to the 20th of September have
arrived, but their contents in, general are uninteresting ;
they contain, however, an' account of the exportation of
of the
cotton from that
year to 106,170 bales, and which exceeds the exportation
rr
1834 country,by36l which amounts
70bales;for the present
as for that year, they
amounted only to 70,000 bales.
