DEATH OF MR. SERGEANT ARABIN.—TIIe
cle-
:ease of the above Learned Gentle Man took
dace yesterday afternoon, at his residence,
lig)) Beech, after a painf'ul illness of sonic du-
Ittion. The deceased gentleman was sixty-six
Pears of age, and held the following lucrative
appointments :—One of the Judges of the Cen-
tral Criminal Court, Deputy Judge-Advocate,
one of the Venders of Epping and Hainault Fo-
rests, besides various other smaller appointments,
from which he derived an income, it is stated, in
the aggregate, of 10,0001. per annum.
SABBATH OBSERVANCE.—At the_ meeting of
the 'Edinburgh Town Council, held on Tuesday,
Baillie Johnston moved " That it be remitted to
the Lord Vrovost's Committee to consider and
devise the best means of counteracting the de-
moralising practice of .selling spirits and other
intoxicating drinks on the Sabbath-day through-
out. the City." The motion, aftersome discussion,
was agreed to, but it was evident from what was
said by all the speakers, except a 1)r. Macaulay,
that they agreed to it rather with a view to
allow the Baillie to ride his hobby than
with the slightest prospect of carrying his
iailatical purpose into effect. One of the
Councillors said—." I am aware that it is both
difficult and dangerous to legislate on matters re-
lating to the first day of the week, or what we
are accustomed to call the Christian Sabbath.
There is no direct connnand in the New Testa-
ment, so fir as I am aware, in reference to the
observance of the first day of the week, neither
during the ordinary times of Divine Worship, nor
any other time." Another said he did not see
what the Council could do in the matter; a third
maintained that the Sabbath was much better
observed now than it was twenty years ago; and
a iburth, who would heartily go along with the
Council in the inquiry, told them that it would
just end where it began. This is a strange waste of
time. We would have given the Baillie's speech at
length but for want of room for it is a great•
curiosity. According to his account, the people
of Edinburgh, with all their strict Sunday ob-
servance, must be the most immoral people in
the world, there being not fewer than 18,500
habitual Sabbath-breaker; by traffic alone,' inde-
pendent of drunkards, swearers, cursors, blas-
phemers, lewd persons, thieves, and infidels, in a
population less than tliat,of Marylebonel

Major-General tIV. T. P. Napier, brother of
Commodore Napier, and author of the "History of the
Peninsular War," is placed on the list of General Officers
rewarded for distinguished service.
