LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1850.

Our old friends the Sabbatarians are at it again
apparently. Nothing seems to allay their diseased
appetite for exercising authority over the morals of the
popnlation. That is to say, if the morals of the po-
pulation mesa the knock of the postman or the ring
of till milkwoman, the cry of the Seller of fruit or of
the vendor of mackerel, the brushing of boots or the
washing of linen. Another intolerable illustration
has just been afforded of the spirit in which these.
modern Pharisees regard the observance of the Sun-
day. What we would here render the object of ge-
neral attention is an incident recently recounted
in the columns of one or two of our provincial
contemporaries under the attractive title of " Sabbath
Profanation." A brief and rapid statement will be
amply sufficient to silos the sinful character of the
proceedings thus entitled, proceedings no less awful
and criminal than the cashing of a shirt on a certain
Sunday morning ! It appears from. the statements
made in the local newspapers that one JOHN
WICAUGHT, master of the schooner Parvenu, of
Stralsund, " did permit ADOLPHE GRA.IIAM, a hand
on board his vessel, in profanation of the Sabbath, and
in breach of the regulations, to wash clothes therein
to the annoyance of the lieges." Whereupon the
said JOHN WRAP/GUT WENldUly summoned, according
to the authority of the 81st Article of the River and
Harbour Regulations at Glasgow, in the River Police-
court, before the Worshipful Bailie PEAIV:ON. Con-
victed of the before-mentioned heinous offence, the
culprit was formally mulcted in the sum of seven
shillings and sixpence, the worshipful and sanctimo-
nious magistrate being resolved to avail himself of
the opportunity for the purpose of preventing,
if possible, any similar profanation of the so-
called Sabbath. Now, we are bold to say
that acts such as these are not only derogatory to the
cause of religion, but injurious to the influence of the
laws of England. Indignant at the treatment re-
ceived under those laws, the master of the vessel
above particularised, himself a subject of King
LEOPOLD, threatened to appeal for redress and protec-
tion to the Belgian Consul ; and, although ultimately
induced to pay the fine impcsed upon him by Reline
PEARSON, it is related of this Joux Wit:morn
that he . most sturdily insisted upon his right
to wash clothes, or to have clothes washed, when he
thought proper, even in the presence of Queen Vic-
TORIA, if he felt so inclined. There is not we are sa-
tisfied in the length and breadth of the United

....
Kingdoms a sensible and unprejudiced Englishman
who will not sympathise most cordially in that spirit
i, tor independence and indignation with which the Bel-
I;4aak•sa-captain protested against the unconscionable
.../..--etrin tion of the SAbbatarims.

Author of

Now ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., post
A NOVEL. 0 0 D.
•* The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly.see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, fin 4 by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage i which he empresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which clja-
racterise nature's nobility. Tho writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities,
to the schoOl of the Dis:aells, Alan-
nerses, and Smythes."—Observer.
" Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
r g beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Rosa we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of tile truth of what we have
said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in tile tale are.
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
mpulsive genius, passionately fond of music aad poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.
