THE BRIGHTON ADDRESS TO TIIE KING.

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY—We, your Majesty's
most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the High Constable, inhabi-
tants, and visitors of the Town of Brighton,\humbly desire to
offer to your Majesty our most heart-felt congratulations on
your happy return in health and safety to your native land.
Although your Majesty's absence from this town, which owes
its prosperity to your Royal favour and protection, must ever
be a source of concern and regret to its inhabitants, yet those
feelings have not been unmixed, during the present year, with
sensations of the most lively satisfliction. •

We hailed, with peculiar gratification and delight, the au-
spicious day of your Majesty's Coronation, and participated
most cordially in the general joy which it diffused throughout
your dominions.
We have rejoiced sincerely in the opportunity most graciously
afforded by your Majesty to the natives of our Sister Island, of
testifying on their own shores that warm-hearted and devoted
loyalty to their King, which has ever formed so prominent a
feature of their national character.

We have heard, also, with unfeigned pleasure, of your Ma-
jesty's visit to your Hanoverian dominions, and we doubt not,
but that your continental subjects will fully appreciate the
marks of parental care and Royal favour you have conferred
on them.

And now that the opportunity is afforded us of welcoming
your Majesty's return, allow us to express our earnest hopcs
that the British empire may long experience, in the Sacred
Person of your Majesty, the inestimable blessing of a Monarch
reigning in the hearts of an affectionate, united, and happy
people.

His MAJESTY is not expected to reside in town
again till after the Christmas holidays. On his
leaving Brighton, it is said that he will occupy
the Cottage, in Windsor Great Park.

[FROM THE QUEBEC GAZETTE OF 4TH OCTOBFR.J
The lease of the KING'S Posts, fo'r 20 years,
from October, 1821, was sold on Tuesday last to
Mr. Goudie, of this city, for 12001. per annum.
The last lease was held by the North-West
Company, which is now united with the Hud-
son's Bay Company. The country, the exclusive
trade of which is granted by the lease, extends
from the Saguenay about 40 leagues downwards,
on the northern bank of the St. Lawrence, and
back to the height of land forming the Hudson's
Bay Company, in all enough to form a large
kingdom. This lease, we believe, is the only
remaining vestige of the monopoly in which the
French Kings once held the trade of this colony.
The Quebec Agricultural Report for Septem-
be', after stating that the harvest has been got in
tolerably well, states :—" As was predicted in
our last Report, the price of butchers' meat has
given way. It must still come nearer to that of
grain. If the present restrictions on Trade con-
tinue, both must be lower than in the American
Seaports. This is but poor encouragement for
the farmer, but he ought not to be discouraged.
He is, indeed, not easily discouraged. It is but
a bad season, in which experience has shewn him
that his exertions are more necessary than ever."

LFROM THE QUEBEC GAZETTE OF OCT. 18;3
We have received files of Bermuda Papers,
during the past Week, and are happy to find that
no event had occurred since the release of Mr.
Till, that could have a tendency to agitate or
disturb the public mind. We believe orders were
transmitted in the last mail for recalling Gover-
nor Lumley from Bermuda.

The Princess SOPHIA has been for a week con-
fined to her bed by illness, but we are happy to
say her Royal Highness is now nearly recovered.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.-We bad not till last
night an opportunity of visiting this Theatre,
since the commencement of the season ; and injus-
tice to the maangement, it may be fairly said, that
it not only ranks high among what are styled the
Minor Theatres, but holds forth a very respectable
competition with those which are sanctioned by
the authority of a Patent. The chief representa-
tion last night was a burletta, entitled Zorayda,
which is an interesting piece in itself, and which
was throughout well supported by the Per-
formers, particularly OXBERRY, !who appeared
to much advantage in a part different from his
usual style, and in which he displayed great feel-
ing. Miss S. BOOTII,WIIO would be an ornament to
any theatre, also distinguished herself very much
in this interesting drama. Mr. BAKER, from the
Haymarket Theatre, also appeared in this piece,
and may be considered as a respectable addition
to the dramatic corps. The piece was deservedly
received with much applause. The new drama
entitled Life in London, another production of
this Theatre, is very well calculated to amuse
the audience, and the same may be said of the
concluding burlesque tragedy called Rumfuskin,
King of Bythnohorbia. Upon the whole, those
who wish to pass a few hours without the alloy
of churlish criticism will not be disappointed in
visiting this Theatre. The house last night was
crowded, even to an overflow.

His MAJ riTy sported Prince LTOPOLD'S live-
ries when he left town on Tuesday last.
The Duke of WELLINGTON and the Marquess
of TITCHFIELD are named as members of the

A Bridge over the Black Water is about to b

considerably shorten the road to Waterford from
the South of Ireland, and consequently be useful
in conveyance between the South and Milford.

WJIISTON computed the. period of the World
to be 20 years from his own time (1712), and yet
asked 30 years purchase for an estate which he
had to sell.

ANECDOTE.—SiT RICHARD STEELS had constructed a
very elegant Theatre in his house for the recitation of select
passages from favourite, authors, and wishing to ascertain whe-
ther it was as well calculated to gratify the ear as the eye, de-
sired the carpenter who had completed the work, to ascend a
pulpit placed at one end of the building, and speak a few sen-
tences. The carpenter obeyed, but when mounted, found him-
self utterly at a loss for the matter of his harangue. Sir RICH-
ARD begged he would pronounce whatever came first into his
head. Thus encouraged, the new-made orator began, and look-
int; steadfastly at the Knight, in a voice like thunder, exclaim-
ed, " Sir RICIIARD STEFLE, here has I and these here men
been doing. your work for three months, and never seen the co-
lour of your money. 'When are you to pay us ? I cannot pay
my journeymen wuhout money, and money I must have.
Sir RICHARD replied that he was in raptures with the elo-
quence, but by no means admired the subject.
PRAYING FOR 11 USBANDS.—The convent of
the Chartreuse, .at Auray, in Normandy, possesses little other
interest than that of its site, except that it has certainly the
moss wonder-working altar in all Christendom. The natives
have the firm belief, that whatever boon is there solicited, is
granted to the petitioner. This well-frequented altar is dedicated
to St-. Anne. .Mrs. Stothard relates in her late tour, that she
observed a certain young girl offer her prayers, with great punc-
tuality and earnestness of, devotional feeling, to St. Anne, and
observes, that from her best cap and jacket being worn on such
occasions, and the soft air of a young man who always accom-
panied her to the church door, she could, without much
craft, divine the subject of her devotion; anti the more
especially, as the girl had assured her, in proof of the
efficacy of St. Anna's blessing upon her shrine, that a certain
young lady of Auray, who feared dying (rather say lii,ing) an
old maid, very earnestly begged the saint to grant her a httNhand.
St. Anne's b9unty being equal to her power, she most kindly
sent the trembling petitioner three husbands in the space of five
short happy years.

_NATLAND HUNT.
Monday last being the day appointed for this old established
Annual Hunt, the Kendal Pack, in excellent condition, threw
off about eight o'clock in the morning, accompanied by upwards
of thirty Gentlemen on horseback, and a large party or pedes-
trians. After.beating about a short time, a hare was put up, in.
Cock Crow Wood, which, after running about an hour,
lost at the same place. A fresh hare, however, was started in
the wood, which afforded tolerable diversion for two hours; and
as she run the same ground twice over, those Gentlemen who
had not spirit to follow the bounds the first round (on account of
the heavy leaps that interposed) rode gallantly over hedt'e and
ditch in the latter part of the chase, as the difficulty of following
was considerably removed. Some of our young sportsmen,
however, who had gone fully prepared to contest the honour or
leading the field, were much disappointed that they, as compe-
titors, had not an opportunity of deciding to whom the palm was
due. At half-past two o'clock, the sports of the-field being
ended, the Mayor, Mr. Richard Thompson, with 31 Gentlemen,
sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by the respectable
hostess, Mrs. Dawson. The glass went briskly round, and se-
veral of the Company did not leave Natland before they were
liberally crowned with the favours of Bacchus. 4 Mr. Heelis was
appointed Mayor of the linnt for next year, and there is no
doubt but he will be well supported.— (W estmoreland Gazette.)

In addition to the tribes of North American
Indians, the Usage and North West Indians have
lately attracted notice. The Osage Indians are
within the territory of the United States, and
'Missions are forming amongst them, on the Ar-
kansas and the Missouri. The North West
Indians are connected with British America.
—lt•' was suggested to the Church Missionary
Society that the Western parts of British Ame-
rica, lying between the high ridge called the
Rocky Mountains and the North Pacific Ocean,
and extending from • about the 42d to the
57th deg. of N. lat. offers a more extensive, pro-
mising, and practicable field for Missionary la-
bours, than any other in that quarter of the globe.
The climate is in general temperate, the soil sea-
sonably productive, and the surface of the coun-
try level. The people are not savage, ferocious,
and wandering but settled in villages, and in se-
veral respects somewhat civilised, though still in
the hunter state ; with few arts, no letters, no
general knowledge, but a great desire to be
taught by white men, whose superiority they
clearly discern. Numbers of them are scattered
over this great range of country ; and it has hi-
therto been very little known, that so great a por-
tion of the North American continent is covered
with a stationary aboriginal people, still however
very much in a state of nature. The North
West Company trades through all the great
space which lies between Montreal and the North
Pacific, a longitUdinal. distance of not less than
4000- miles, and keeps up a direct communication
by. sea between London and the mouth of the
river Colombia, on the N.W. coast of America.
A member of that "Company, who is a highly
respectable merchant in Canada, informed the
Society that he has been frequently among the
Indians in question, and thinks the prospect of
the introduction of Christianity very promising,
while many of the principal persons .in Upper
Canada ark anxious for the promotion of that ob-
ject. And another proposal has-been offered to
the Indians on the Eastern side of the- same
chain, between the Rocky Mountains and Il ud-
son's Bay—and it seems very probable• that this
intercourse may • lead to a new settlement.

The following CURIOUS STORY appeared in a
recent Berlin journal
A remarkable event has occurred on the Ist Nov. at Sirakovo,
in the circle of Posen. A labourer named Sandke, who had
been married for several years, expressed a desire,-in the pre-
sence of his wife and parents, to be a father. One day his wife
announced to -him. that his wish was likely to be fulfilled; he
received the intelligence with transport, and the apparent state
of his wife rendered such an event every day more probable.—
When her time came near, she went lo a little distance in the
country near Dessaw, whence she was to return in the same
evening, but she delayed, and the night advancing, her hus.
band began to be alarmed. However, she did return, about
three o'ciock in the morning, and presented her husband with
a fine new-born infant,. of which she said she had been deliver-
ed in the open country. She said she suffered very much, and
felt great pain, which being all very natural, shethought it ne-
cessary to confine herself to her bed. In the meantime the
child was taken every possible care of, the wife recovered, and
Sandke, in caressing the infant, frequently gave way to his
transport, and expressed the horror which he felt at the crime
of infanticide, of which he said a young woman of Dessaw was
recently ac7rsed. . She was delivered of a child, which she said
had been stolen from her in the night-time ; she was accused
of killing the babe, as it was illegitimate, but she denied the
crime, and persisted in saying that the child had disappeared
in the way she mentioned. Some five or six weeks afterwards
a few friends came to visit the wife of Sandke; they were ac-
quainted with the supposed infanticide, as was also the wife of
Sandke ; they observed a strong resemblance between her child
and that which was said to have disappeared. Sandke's wife,
fearing that she should be punished, fled. She was apprehend-
ed soon after, and brought before one of the tribunals ; she
confessed she had deceived her husband by assuming the ap-
pearance of a woman about to be a mother, and that she had
stole the child in question in order to gratify his wishes. It was
with infinite pain that poor Sandke restored the infant to its
true mother, and his wife now waits the punishment of a
crime, of which the criminal justice of this country offers very
few extmnples.

ECCLESIASTICAL DRY.)

THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF WESTMINSTER V. THE

REV. HATCRARD.

In this case articles were exhibited Against the
Reverend Defendant, for attempting to eject via
et tfrinis from the pulpit of the Church of St.
Margaret's, Westminster, the Rev. J. R. Rod--
bard, who Claimed to have been legally elected
thereto. It will be recollected, in the latter
part of last year considerable disputes arose
amongst the parishioners on -the election of the
Evening Lecturer, when the defendant claimed
the election by a majority of votes. The aullo,
rity to whom it was left to decide gave it against
him ; he, however, endeavoured to gain posses,
sion by the means above described.
The allegations in the articles exhibited stated
the defendant to have pulled Mr. Rod bard by he
gown, and called out shame at the time he k‘ai
about to enter the pulpit. Mr. llatchard intend-
ed to rebut them by affidavits ; the Court, how
ever)•considered. that the original articles wanted
some_ verbal amendments—they were withdrawn
for that purpose: •
Mr. HATCH 1;1) addressing himself to Mr.
Rodbard) said, " I wish to give no offence, but
ask you before Goa and this Court) if you will
swear I pulled you by the gown and called)
shame Nc answer was given,and the consider
ration of the case postponed.
