The present CIIIEF JUSTICE Of IRELAND is
fond of relating the following story. A boy
about ten years old, of whose moral capability
of appreciating the value of an oath he had some
doubt, came before him to give evidence ; upon
which the following dialogue occurred—" My
little boy, do you go to church ?" " No—l am
a Roman." 64 Well, do you go to chapel ?"
" Yes—l play ball against the gable." "Do you
know your creed ?" " No." " Or the command..
ments ?" 44 No." "Or the Lord's Prayer ?"
" No." "Do you know your priest ?" 44 Yes,
I heard tell of Father Phelim." 44 Did you ever
speak to him ?" " Yes, once." 44 What did
you say to him ?" " I axed him to give me a
penny for houlding his horse, and he bid me go
be damned.".

The Ex-Empress of France, MAnIA Louszk,
is making a tour in Italy under the travelling
title of Duchess of COLORNO. By the last ad-
vices from Genoa she was daily expected in that
city, whence, after visiting some of the delight-
ful villas in that neighbourhood, she was to pro-
ceed to Leghorn, and afterwards to Naples.
A curious circumstance occurred in the qua-
drangle of the Royal Exchange on Thursday.—
As the workmen were lowering the statue of
CHARLES I. from one of the niches on the north
side, for the purpose of cleaning &c. the head
came off, close to the shoulders. In this state
the headless trunk was taken to the statuary.

SPAIN.

.MAnnin.---As every thing respecting this ca:
pital cannot fail to be interesting, we shall advert
to a religious procession which takes place in tne
month of April, as described by an eye-witness.
" When in this capital I had occasion to wit-
ness what was denominated a religious procession'
although I conceived it not entitled to auy such
character, as, on the contrary, it appeared of 3
nature altogether profane ; this occurs on a Par'
ticular festival, which was observed in April. 19
the first place, at a fixed hour, our Saviour srt's
exhibited by an effigy as large as life, which was
dressed up, representing some particular act !'
lative to the different stages of life through which
he had passed, and particularly in the garde!' Of
Gethsamane, which was formed by boughs of
trees. Here a cup was suspended, before %chic!'
the figure appeared in a kneeling posture. Nest,
his being bound and scourged, the blood running
copiously down the hack, and ultimately sus"
pended on the cross with nails through the banns
and feet, were also exhibited. The objects re:
presenting these several situations were placed
on large boards, and carried on men's shoulders
in the presence of an immense concourse of people
uncovered, whose feelings were raised to the
very highest pitch imaginable by this piece °`,
mockery. The procession first moved round the
great square in front of the Palace, where all the
Royal Family came forward to a balcony, and
prostrated themselves, bowing to each of the
images as it passed. After this the procession
continued along the public streets, attended by
music and choristers, chaunting anthems, where
crowds of persons were assembled, and tapestry
and carpets by way of ornament were hung over
the principal windows. After its departure
another formality took place within the Palace'
Twelve of the poorest men in Madrid, were con"
ducted to the Palace, who took off their shoes
and stockings, and put their feet into water,
which were washed by the King. This is pre-
sumed to be an act of very extraordinary ha'
milky, and in imitation of the Apostles! After
this was finished, the paupers sat down at °
table, laid out with a bountiful display of pro'
visions, when each were complimented with 3
certain quantity of cloth as a donation. I per-
ceived, however, they afterwards received a
sum, which was preferred in lieu of every thing,
having, according to my information, sold the
provisions and cloth to those who offered the
highest price, and for which there appears to be
always a competition."—(Travels in Spain, ,S•C.
sfc. by Wm. REA WILSON, ESQ.

The Berwick Advertiser says, " A seal of a
most enormous size, in this part of the world,
was caught some days ago, near the mouth of the
Tweed, by some of our fishermen. When the
creature bolted up from the water, its large
glaring eyes almost terrified the men who were
near it. When killed and cut up, there were
found in its stomach nearly half a salmon recent-
ly swallowed, and part of another decayed by
digestion. Its weight was supposed to be about
50 stone.
