FULLERTON V. SIR H. D. HAMILTON.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said that this case came before
him in the year 1000 ; it. was then sent back to the Quarter Ses-
sions in Scotland. After the fullest consideration, he was con-
vinced of the legality of the decision on that occasion. What-
ever might be the intention of the parties to a deed, it was the
legal construction, and not the intention, that must be acted
upon : the intetlocutor being grounded on the true intention,
must therefore be reversed.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE said a few words to the same
effect.

SPANISH MIRACLE.

The following is an extract of a letter from
Barcelona, dated 9th June :
" The monks here are in raptures ; they talk of nothing else
but our blessed countryman, Julien, a monk whom the Pope
has lately canonized. It is curious to hear them talk of the
miracles which this holy monk has wrought ; they are of all sorts.
We, Spaniards, must take care how we raise the least doubt
on the authenticity of these miracles, for that is classic ground
with them ; and it was not long since this our happy country
witnessed what cannot be considered otherwise than a mira-
culous fact. During the course of last year as great a drought
was felt as now ; in every town public prayers were offered
up, and each addressed its own peculiar patron, that by his
intercession, the floods of heaven might descend upon us.—
The village of Las Cabtzas de San Juan, in Andalusia, which
the unfortunate Riego has rendered celebrated as the spot where
he proclaimed the Constitution, invoked with fervour the great
St. Nicholas; but it was all to no purpose; for the fields re-
mained as dry as ever. At last, one Sunday morning, the faith-
ful perceived the Saint had a letter in his hand. Each devo-
tee respectfully advanced to receive it ; but at their approach
the Saint, although made of wood, raised the hand which held
the letter, a certain sign that it was not to them he was to de-
liver it. The Curate, who was immediately iorormed of the
prodigy, attired himself with all speed in his sacerdotal vest.
meats, and went in his turn to take the letter, which the Saint
let him do without opposition. The Curate then read it to the
faithful; it was conceived as follows:

" Abode of the Blessed, Ist May 1824.
MY DEAR IsticaoLAs—l have heard the prayers, in which,
thou continually beggest for rain, for the district ; but thou
canst not be ignorant of the crime with which that rebellious vil-
lage is stained. It is for this that Spain suffers drought, it is
therefore in vain that:thou askest waters of me, for I cannot
under the circumstances be accessible to your prayers.
THE ETERNAL FATHER.

What I hare just stated to you fact well known all over
Spain, particularly in Andalusia ; and I would not advise a tra-
veller who should pass through Las Cabeza-dis man-Juan, and
hearing this miracle to express the least doubt of it, he would
infallibly be torn to pieces, and would have but a small chance
of again seeing hisnative country, unless the blessed St. Julian
should come to help him.—(Courier Francois.)
