THE SABBATH WORSHIPPERS.—we are glad
to find one Edinburgh paper, at least, denouncing these
hypocrites with becoming spirit. In the Observer, of
Tuesday, is the following notice of the case brought
before the Arbroath Inquisition, which was reported at
length in The Sun :—" In this single case we have sonic
of the rarest elements of clerical oppression. A member
of the Established Church is debarred from the privileges
of the Church by a
petty parochial despot, for burying
his child on a Sunday, and the majority of a Presbytery
attempt to protect the tyrant by shutting up such pro-
ceedings from public indignation. Both acts are alike
unlawful, and the case, doubtless, will lead the people of
Scotland to scout the professions of our itinerant orators
of reverence for' Christian privileges' and popular rights.'"
DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A SHARK.--We
are extremely sorry to have to announce the death,
under very melancholy circumstances, of Captain J. R.
Lumsden, of the 63d Native Infantry, Senior Assistant to
the Commissioner of Arraean. He was bathing, as usual,
at Khyook-Phyoe, on the morning of the 26th of Septem-
ber, when a shark carried off his leg, and very soon af-
terwards the unfortunate officer was a corpse.—lndian
