When the usual loyal and 'constitutional toasts and
sentiments had been given, and Mr. CANNING'S
health had been drank with three times three andthe ,
utmost applause, that Gentleman arose, and deliver-

went, and animated patriotism, has perhaps seldom
been equalled. In the e6urse of what fell from hint
he took the opportunity,, after having expreoed
his exultation on the glorious events oa the Con-
tinent, and on the perseverance of this country,
in the principles of wise and dignified national
policy, to-pay respect to. the memory of Mr..PITT..
Gentlemen expressed their'sentiments, and
we regret, that we.have only room to' add, that
the day passed off in the triumph of loyalty and
patriotism.
The present manner of spending Christmas, in
the North Riding of Yorkshire, still preserves
some traces. of antiquity. It is customary for a
party of singers, chiefly' Women, to continence,
at the feast of St. Martin, a. peregrination round
the neighbouring villages, ,carrying with them a
small waxen image of -our Saviour, adorned with
boX and other -ever greens ; at the same time
singing a hymn.----7 This custom .is continued till
'Christmas-Eve, when their " good living" begins.
Every rustic dame pi'edaces a cheese, upon which,
before any part of it is tasted, rude incisions_are
made to represent thecross. -With this and frumity,
made of barley ail& meal,- the cottage affords -tm7
interrupted hospitality. .A large fire is stillutinie
on C hritmas7Eve, on. which the " yule-clogs",
are piled, and a fragment of a log is, yearly pre-
served -by everyprudenthousewile.--The-yule-elog•
appears to be a relic of Pagan superstition, and is
the offspring of those fires and sacrifices which
_the
ancient idolatrous inhabitants of this island
made to the sun, to hail his genial return again
to Communicate warmth and fertility to atitre.
This relic is considCred as the great preserver of
.thefamily froni every misfortune, the palladium
of their health and prosperity during theyear..
