ABERDEEN.—The fortitude of a respectable
female was, one day lately, put to the test in the most try-
ing manner. Walking along Union-street, she was alarmed
at seeing two youths going on the outside of the parapet of
the main arch of Union-street Bridge. In approaching
nearer, she was horror-struck at perceiving that the youths
were two of her own children. She was on the eve of
giving a shriek, when the thought came into her mind
that, if she did so, it might be the means of frightening
them and making them fall. She quietly but quickly
walked along until she came opposite where the children
were, and in a moment seized hold of them both at the
same time, and pulled them through betwixt the balustrades.

ABERDEEN.—A female servant in this place
having fallen in love with a soldier, proposed, as he had
promised to marry her, to purchase his discharge At•ith
money ehe had saved from her hard earnings. The fellow
suce::eded in persuading her to " buy him off " before the
marriage day, which she did ; and a few days ago, having,
by the same means, got new clothes, and some cash, the
ungrateful fellow decamped from the town, leaving his
sweetheart plunged in sorrow.

THE NEW DEA N.—Tiic Very Rev. Dr.
PHILFOTTS, our new Dean, arrived hi this city on Satur-
day evening, and put up at the Royal Hotel. On Sunday
morning, before the commencement of the morning service
at the Cathedral, the ceremony of installation took place,
attended by Archdeacon CLARKE, Mr. Prebendary BLOM-.
Fizr,n, the Rev. JOSErif EATON, and WM. WARD, Esq.
Registrar. They then retired to the Chapter-house, when
the Dean was sworn in with the usual formalities. He
afterwards read himself in, by officiating throughout the
whole morning and evening service, with the exception of
preaching the sermon, making the requisite declaration
on each occasion. Dr. Plum:ars has a good voice,
and distinct articulation ; and very closely resembles both
in person and voice a former Dean, the Rev. Dr. HonG-
sox, now Dean of Carlisle. We noticed the Dean's lady
and one of her sons in the Dean's seat near the Bishop's
throne. She is a very fine looking woman, for the mother
of some twelve or fourteen children, all of whom are, we
believe, living. The Dean sets out this day for Oxford.—
