every other country, where the .people are'
free, every man is a politician. Let-it be sup
posed for a moment-that procedure by indictment
is abolished, and the Attorney General's process
by information ex officio substituted for it, and
we have some idea of the office of public prose-
cutor—such an officer may be very congenial to
the jurisprudence of States, like the Roman Em 6.
pire, where all power, executive, legislative, and
administrative, was in the Sovereign, and the
people had only to pay tribute and obey; or it
may be relished by the Oligarchy which rules in
Scotland—but such an authority in one person,
and that person a creature of the Crown,
could not be endured, or, if endured, would
destroy public liberty in England, where the chief
tribunal in both civil and criminal matters is the
most popular that can be conceived. " Public
liberty," says Blackstone, " cannot exist long in
any state, unless the administration of common
justice be separated from the executive and also
from the legislative power." But what is the
public prosecutor? It was stated officially in the
House of Commons, that the Lord Advocate, or
public prosecutor in Scotland, has the whole Eau-
. Mil/I' Government of Scotland under his
cular care ! !!

MaTittmosnr.—The Lady who announced through this
Paper that she would, on yesterday, walk on the North side
of Alerrion.square, for the purpose of receiving from Candi-
dates for her hand in an honourable way a statement of
their pretensions, thinks- it a duty to explain the reason
that her part of the engagement was not literally ful.
tilled. At half-past two o'clock (half an hour previously ft)
the time fixed in the announcement), the Lady walked to the
spot cpecitied in the notice; not, however, in the costume
described to be worn by her. She made this preliminary visit, in
order to see what description of persons were in attendance. To
the great mortification of the Laity, those who were then present
were Individuals who did not at all come within the moaning of
her words. There were ladies rolling in their 'mooches and
carriages? and scampering on their horses, and walking on the
place which she had assigned to herself, none of whom, how.
ever well inclined they might haVe been to wear a certain por.
tion of male attire when they had once entered into the happi.
ness of matrimony, could at all put forward the masculine
qualifications that the Advertiserrequired in the companion she
was engaged in seeking. Then there were crowds of old mar.
ried Gentlemen—.persona who could have been only induced to
come there by an impertinent and prying curiosity. Besides
these, there were two other classes that mustered innumerably
strong, and who were, particularly denounced in the Advertise.
ment—there were superannuated beaux and swarms at spurred
and whiskered puppies. In addition to these there was
rude and tumultuous assemblage, so eager to see the wonder
of a woman acting according to the suggestions of pure and
unsophisticated nature, that, to a mind not accustomed to
such exhibitions, they conveyed feelings of terror and dismay.
The confusion that pervaded the entire body of persons then
assembled was altogether such as fully to warrant the Lady in
declining to perform the pleasing duty she had originally as-
signed to herself. As art illustration of the prevailing tumult,
the Lady begs to say, that but for the kind and polite atten-
tion of a Gentleman, whom on inquiry she understood to be
Mr. Sergeant Lefroy, she would, when she wished to retire,
have been unable to accomplish her desire, the crowd at that
time having congregated to an alarming pressure. The Lady
advertiser thinks these circumstances are more than sufficient

to account for her nonperformance of her announcement. She
now begs to say, that on next Sunday she will walk in Mount.

A short time since, as a boy was ploughing in
a field, near Swine, he took up a piece of metal,
which he carried to the parish clerk, who stated
it to be a Ronan coin. Upon further exaniina-
lion an earthen vessel was found, which, we are
informed, contained upwards of fourteen hun-
dred. Those we saw were Principally

ifroni 306 to 337, and was born at York. They
