FILIAL PIETY.

The following observations on Filial Piety were
translated from the Emperor YoNG-Tctrixo's Hook of
SAcred Instruction, by Sir G. T. STAUNTON, Barr.

Verdict for the defendants.
Mr. WILLIAMS obtained a Rule to chew cause why
a new trial should net be granted upon certain points
of objection taken to the proof of the defendants.

" This Filial Piety is a doctrine from Flrava.v, the consunnna-
tion of earthly justice, the grand principle of action unong man-
kind. The man who knows not piety to parents, can ,nrely not
have considered the affectionate hearts of parent; towards their
children. When still infants in arms, hungry, they could not
.feed themselves; cold, and could not clothe themselves; lint they
had their parents, who watched the sounds of tutir voice, and
studied the traits of their countenance; who were joyful when
they smiled ;.affitcted when they wept; who followed them step
by step, when they moved; who, when they were sick or in
pain, refused food and sleep on their account. Thus were they
nursed and educated until they grew up to manhood. The ,0113
of men who would repay but one viii-thousandth p::rt of this
parental kindness, ought to devote to it internally all then- heart,
and externally to apply to it all their strength. They ought tube
frugal and temperatein their persons, and diligent in perforating
their labours, that they may always possess the means of evincini
their pious regard to their parents, whenever their assistance a
required."

Yesterday, 'a Coroner's Inquest was held at Pr,nt-
ford on the body of -- Ji ues, a fine boy, ten yc?Ts
of age, who, while at play, got behind a Gentle

the driver pretended to do so. The boy's mote: im-
mediately called to him to get down, but in
so he fell, and the ulleel of the Twickenham coach,
which was closely following, went over his haid and
killed him on the spot. No blame appeared to be
due to the coachman, who used his utmost efforts to
pull up, but in vain; and the Jury rettnned a verdict
—Accidental Death. At the :-ight of the awful ca-
tastrophe the mother swooned, and has since remained
in such a state of mental and bodily infirmity as to
leave her medical attendants no hopes of her recovery.
Tuesday, as a boy, named Braithwaite, the son
of a lighterman, resident in Hungerford market,
was amusing himself in Brewer's-lane, Strand, with
riding on sheep, he came in contact with a cart
that was tilted ; the boy was thrown, and the car:
having been started, fell upon him. Ile was taken
up in a lifeless state, with leg and thigh severely frac-
tured ; but at the Infirmary it is concluded that life
may be preserved, with dangerous amputations.—
The boy had often indulged in such amusements, and
had been frequently cautioned against continuing
them in the streets and public thoroughfares.
At Auchencrow, a small village in the Parish of
Coldingham, in the afternoon of the 13th inst. a sow
belonging to J. Robertson, mason, having broken
from its confinement, his wife, to prevent its straying,
imprudently shut it into the house,where her son, an
infant of five months old,was asleep in the cradle; she
went out, and, in her absence, the voracious animal
seized the little innocent, and had one of its hands and
great part of its face and throat devoured when the
mother returned ! Wh• can describe her feelings and
distraction on discovering her child in such a horrible
mangled condition! The child expired in an hour.
HAPPY PUN.—A Gentleman who was blessed with
a mouth of unusual dimensions, was once asked by a
friend, if he had -a lease of that mouth of his ? " No,"
good humouredly rejoined the other, " I have it only
