" TO THE' FIRST • PERSON WHO PASSES.
" 'Vol' who find my body will suppose that this act
arises from folly, and possibly you have no weakness of
which to accuse yourself. Ah me, I feel deeply far these
who, like myself, are steeped in misfortune. The evil is
done—it is without a remedy, and death alone can cure it.
It is, alas ! my. only remedy. Oh, God, pardon me. I
am very nnaappy ; and you, my father and mother, who
hear me from the depth of the tomb, Pardon me for the
crime I am about to•commit., I am so wretched that 'life
is to me a burthen. HoW can who from so Lir
a position am fallen so low—accused, diShonoured, ready to
be confined in a prison with thieves and murderers. Oh,
no, that shall never be ; death a thousand times before
such dishonour. lam sure that all who really 'know use '
will 4pprove of my conduct ; my position is dreadful. I •
have committed faults, but I have paid dearly for them. I
had so fine a position, honourable, lucrative.---Itio, fur the ex-
pellees of my appointment w crc greater than the pay. I
hoped one day to clear myself from those difficulties, but all
wns in vain. Hope sustained me for a long time —yes, fora
long time, but it was a delusion, arid my existence
was worse than death. I accuse no one' of my misfor-
tune,. still I have much to sty. lam aboltt to die. Cud-
science tels me I have done more good than evil. I have •
-teen plundcrad. without daring . One per: ow.
alone could have drawn ma from this desk sir, but his ava-
rice only values money. He is fortunate in his affairs—he
buys land and houses, and his augmenta:ion of fortune may
one day open people's eyes ; but I care not what arrives—
what is the world vow to me ! Nothing remain; for me but
death—and oh, what death ! I shall be accused of
cow..rdicc. They will ask why I did not avow my true
pthirion—but I dare not. When I thought of so doing
my head turned. I saw dishonour only before me, and I
prefer death to dishonour.

" You who find my body, in the name of heaven throw a
little earth over it. Do not take the trouble to remove it.
I have no sympathy with man. I desire that man should
have none wi!h me. lam sorry for some poor people to-
wards whom I have committed wrong. I have corn' ramised
them, but it was not in my power to avoid it. There is a we-
man who will be put to trouble on my a7eount. I declare that
she is not the cause of my mi,fortunes—she never wished to
run me to expense. She cost me very little. United in heart,
self-interest did not prevail between us. I was at first un-
certain whether 1 should commit this deed. I have walked
250 leagues to see the ground in which rcpos3 the ashes of
my father and mother. I alid not communicate with any
person. I wandered about, avoiding the high roads, sleep-
ing- in the woods, in the fiekb, in the damp, in the cold, but
all that was nothirg. They will accuse me of having gone
off with money, but I bad only 100 ftancs in my purse.
I pa:d seventy-five francs for a pair cf pistols ; I bought
a pair of shoes, two pair of socks, a cravat, a shirt, and a
little soap and salt. It is thus easy to see that I had not
money to spend for food. I sold my watch to buy me
bread; I have new nothing left. To-morrow I shall be no
more. My eyes now see the sun for the last time. If to-,
morrow, when it shines on this world, one of its rays should
fall on me, it will be reflected by eyes without light, and its
warmth cannot revive my stagnant blood.—Adieu, adieu,
adieu ! " I3ERARD."

Other letters were found on Captain Berard, announcing
his intention to commit suicide ; one of them was addressed
to Catherino. A Court-martial is now appointed for the
trial of Captain Berard, in which it is hoped such 'explana-
tions must be given as will reconcile the unfortunate man
to life.

JOHN KNox's Cituacu.—The Church of St.
John's, at Perth, is at present undergoing some slight repairs.
In this Church John Knox preached the first Refbrmation
sermon, and excited the congregation in an extraordinary de-
gree by his fervid denunciations of the errors of the Church
of Rome. The sacred edifice is in an excellent state of pre-
servation: it requires no great t flirt of imagination, while
standing within its wails, to conjure up the scene of this me-
morable discourse—the people greedily deyouting the for-
bidden truths,sweet as stolen waters—the thin, spare figure of
the preacher, dilated with a sort of preternatural enthusiasm_
his long white beard—his keen eye and outtre.tehed hand,
holding the audience as it were by a spell, while ne thundered
forth the torrent of his rude vehement eloquence, heard with
r:pture or with fear, but never heard in vain. The frantic
gestures and incontrollable enthusiasm of his hearers must
have
to the troubled and toiling spirit of Knox ;
endwban dew
them sally forth to destroy the images in
the Catholic Church, he must have known that from that
moment a spirit had gone forth which could not b,r quelled
by authority ; and that the cause was won.—lnverness
Courier.
On Wednesday last, about noon, as the Eclipse
Manchester and Hull, coach, very Itiayily laden, was passing
through Dewsbury, on its route to Hull, the fore axle broke
very near the middle, and threw the coachman and passengers
upon the pavement, by which Mr. Aaron. Halrashaw, black-
mith, of Lake Lock, near Wakefield, had his leg dreadfully
broken by a heavy trunk falling from the top of the coach upon
him. He was carried to the. Hope and ',Anchor inn, Dews-
bury, where he now lies in rather a precarious state. Three
other persons, who were slightly injured, proceeded on their
journey. The coachman and other passeßgers were unin-
jured.—Manchester Guardian.

ANECDOTES OF PETER THE GREAT..=---RUsSla,
in the time of Peter the Greet, had several Lirge iron manu-
factories; some of these he visited with grc.t ;assiduity, and
learnt the buSiness of a bla'eksmith. He succeeded' so well in
that trade that in one 'day he forged alone 18. ponds of iron,
equal to 720 pounds weight, and put his own particular mar k
on each bar. This was performed itt the forges of one Mul-
ler, at Istia, 90 werets from Moscow. One oft these bars, au-
thenticated by Peter's mark, is still shown et the same forge
at Istia. Another, forged also with the Czar's own hand, is
shown in the Academy of Sciences at St. Petershurgh; but
this last was forged at Olonetz. on the 12th of October, just
before his death, which happened in 1725. This bar weighs
120 pounds. Peter, on the receipt of one of his day's wages
from Muller, went directly to a shop and purchased a pair of
shoes, which he took great pleasure in showing on hi 4 feet,
saying to those who were present, " I have earned them well,
rl,
by the sweat of my brow, with hammer and anvil."
Czar once pasged a month at Istia, and when Irr
the forges the Noblemen of his suite were obliged to blow
at
thelow the
bellows, to stir the fire. to carry coals, and p
of-
fices of journeymen blacksmiths.—Raikcs's formt g( ;l theall
Czar.
