CELEBRITY OF THE LONDON OYSTERS.
The acknowledged superiority of the London Oysters, and
the difficulty of obtaining them regularly even in this great
'commercial town, has induced the proprietor to arrange with
one of the first Fishmongers of Billinsgate, from whom he daily
receives

AN ABUNDANT SUPPLY OF THE NATIVES;
but, as all the Liverpool Journals have eulogised them, Mr. F,
submits their recommendation rather than his own :

"A dish of the finest Oysters we ever remember to have seen
or tasted ; we can honestly recommend them."—Mercury.
"We can safely vouch for their fine condition and excellent
ilavonr ; better cannot certainly be had in London or else-
.where."—Ntatidard.

" FEENY'S ORIENTAL DI VA N.—We have seen, and, what is
far.better, we have tasted; some of the London Oysters which
Mr. Feeny, of the Oriental Divan, Clayton-square, is nor, daily
receiving from London. We recommend our friends to pay the
Divan a visit; and judge of the Oysters by their size, freshness,
and delicious -amour. They cannot form any but the most
favourable judgment of them."—Journal.

STArr. or RELIGION IN SPAIN.—The state of religions
belief. in .Spain, once the stronghold of faith though a
gloomy and superstitious faith, is indeed lamentable; we
have ourselves" heard Spaniards,—civilians, soldiers, and
priests,--express the opinion, that one-third of the entire
nation are secret or -avowed infidels : this may be—we
would fain hope it is—an exaggerated estimate ; but, at
all events; it comes from themselves, and indicates at the
best a fearful condition nowc and a terrible prospect for
the future. There has been. no bishop consecrated in
Spain for nearly fifteen years, so that more than one-third
of the sees are Paw vacant. 'We observe that a .concordat
has at length been entered into between the-government
and the pope, by virtue of which thirty bishops are now
to be appointed : we trust it may be the means of re-esta-
blishing a butter state of things than at present exists.
The estimation in Which the clerical profession is now
held may be judged of by two or three significant facts
(we speak from observation). First, it is a comparatively
rare thing.to see a !/Dung priest ;-2ndly, , in the southern
towns of Pain, the clergy seldom appear in the streets
in their elk:I:cal dress it begins to grow dark ;
at least,
we have seen therm : begging, even of foreigners, in the
sitreets.7 &witat any rate, is the ease, in Catalonia and
Andalusia, and we have reason to believe it is not differ-
ent elsewhere.—Church of 4:viand AlTiazine.
