MASSACRE OF SAINT BARTHOLOMEW.

The memorable massacre of St. Bartholomew, in which
fell Coligny, and so many of the bravest and best of France,
is so horrible in its atrocities that it is commonly classed
among those lark deeds of by-gone days which by no possi-
bility could be repeated now. The French Papists, however,
longed for its repetition so recently as twenty-five years ago,
openly expressed their longings, and by many sanguinary
acts showed themselves well-qualified to rival in bloody doings
their Popish ancestors in the sixteenth century. Sully's ac-
count, as quoted by Mr. Browning, p. 88, is so graphic that
we must present it to our readers.
" I went to bed, the over night, very early ; I was aroused
about three hours after midnight by the noise of bells, and
the confused cries of the populace. St. Julien, my governor,
went out hastily with my valet-de-chamhre, to learn the
cause, and I have never since heard anything of those two
men, who were, without doubt, sacrificed, among the first,
to the public fury. I remained alone, dressing myself in my
chamber, -when a few minutes after, I observed my host
enter, pale and in consternation. He was of the religion,
and having heard what was the matter, he had decided on
going to mass, to save his life, and preserve his house from
plunder. He came to persuade me to do the same, and to
take me with him. I did not think fit to follow him ; I re-
solved on atttempting to get to the College of Burgundy,
where I studied, notwithstanding the distance of the house
where I lived from that college, which made my attempt very
dangerous. I put on my scholar's gown, and, taking
a pair of large prayer-books under my arm, I went
down stairs. I was seized with horror as I went into
the street at seeing the furious men running in every di-
rection, breaking open the houses, and calling out, '
Kill, massacre the Huguenots !' and the blood which I saw
shed before my eves, redoubled my fright. I fell in with a
body of soldiers, who stopped me. I was questioned ; they
began to ill-treat me, when the books which I -carried were
discovered, happily for me, and served •me for a passport.
Twice afterwards I fell into the same danger, from which I
was delivered with the same good fortune. At length I ar-
rived at the College of Burgundy ; a still greater danger
awaited me there. The porter having twice refused me ad-
mittance, I remained in the middle of the street, at the mercy
of the ruffians, whose numbers kept increasing, and who
eagerly sought for their prey ; when I thought of asking for
the principal of the college, named Dafaye, a worthy man,
and who tenderly loved me. The porter, gained by some
small pieces of money which I put into his hand, did not re-
fuse to fetch him. This good man took me to his chamber,
where two inhuman priests, whom rheard talk of the Sicilian
vespers, tried to snatch me from his hands, to- tear me to
pieces, saying that the order was, to kill even the infants at
the breast. All that he could do was to lead me, with great
secrecy, to a remote closet, where he locked me in. I re-
mained there three whole days, uncertain of my fate, and,
receiving no assistance but from a servant of this charitable
man, who came, from time to time, and brought me some-
thing to live upon.
" The Queen of Navarre has also given an account of the
dreadful night which preceded, or rather ushered in, the
massacre. She relates, that on retiring to rest, her husband's
bed was surrounded by thirty or forty Huguenots, who were
talking all night of the accident which had befallen the ad-
miral, and resolved the next morning to insist upon the
king's doing justice for them on the Guises. No sleep was
to be had under such circumstances ; and before .day the

King of Navarre rose, with the intention of playing at tennis,
till the King (Charles) was up. When the King of Navarre
and his gentlemen had retired the queen soon fell asleep. In
less than an hour she was woke up by a man, striking with
his hands and feet against the door of the chamber, and
calling out Navarre ! Navarre !' Margaret's chambermaid
opened the door, and immediately a man, covered with blood
and pursued by four soldiers, ran in for refuge. He, wish-
ing for protection,' says' Margaret, threw himself on my
bed : I, feeling a man lay hold of me, threw myself out at
the bed-side, and him after me, still holding me round the
body; I did not know the man, nor did I know if he came
there to injure me, or whether the soldiers were after him or
me. We both of us cried out and were equally frightened.'
It was with difficulty the queen could obtain this person's
pardon. The captain of the guards conducted her to the
chamber of her sister, the Duchess of Lorrain ; and at the
moment of entering that apartment, a gentleman was killed
close to her. She almost fainted away, and could only be
brought to by ber sister's care."
These are only some of the horrors for further details of

whiCl;Weliave not space. " The ladies of the court were-
seen descending into the square of the Louvre, then filled
with the dead bodies of Protestant gentlemen, many of whom
had cheerfully passed with them some hours of the preceding
day. It was by their siren-like qualities that many of the
Huguenot nobility had been drawn to court. They had now
become harpies, through the addition of cruelty to their fa-
naticism and wantonness ; and trampling every proper feel-
ing under foot, they jested and laughed as they recognized
any of the murdered men." The conclusion of these doings
of these maids of honour is too indecent for our columns,
yet verified by grave and unimpeachable historians. Alas !
we need not recur to remoter history than that of the year
just closed to know what palace-women, uninfluenced by
religious principle, can do.

MARRIAGE.

(From the Morning Herald.)

Our readers have read in our columns a congratulatory
address to the throne on the marriage of the Queen with
Prince Albert, from the religious Society of Friends, com-
monly called Quakers.
That address is truly interesting for its high moral tone,
and beautiful for its earnest simplicity of language.
Take the following passages :—" The INSTITUTION OF
MARRIAGE we have ever regarded as a DIVINE ORDINANCE,
and it is our prayer to God that his blessing may richly
crown thy union, and render it conducive to thine own hap-
piness and the welfare of thy people.
" It is with heartfelt satisfaction that we anticipate thy
future happiness in this union, and earnest are our desires
for thee and for thy consort, that, WALKING IN THE FEAR
OF THE LORD, your examples may be so ordered in all things
by that wisdom which is from above, as powerfully to pro-
mote the cause of TRUE RELIGION and VIRTUE throughout
the land." _ _

Let us not forget that at the time when the plain-spoken
descendants of George Fox and William Penn approach the
throne and remind the Queen of this mighty empire that
the institution of marriage is a Divine ordinance, opinions
are disseminated through England,. subversive of popular
reverence for that holy institution—the source of all the en-
dearing relations of kindred, and all the sweet charities of
domestic life. In every country in which marriage is religi-
ously reverenced, morality flourishes—in every country in
which it is held in contempt, man is a degraded being—woman
is a slave, and rare are the flowers of moral virtue that are
gathered in the desert of a wild licentiousness.
With what exquisite beauty and truth does the greatest
poet, with one exception, that the world ever produced,
exclaim,
" Hail, wedded love ! mysterious law, true source
Of human offspring—sole propriety
In paradise, of all things common else.
By thee adult'rous lust was driven from men,
Among the bestial herds to range—by thee;
Founded in reason, loyal just, arid pure,
Relations dear, and all the charities
Of father, son, and brother, first were known."
The " bestial herds" which Milton in those splendid lines
alludes to, were the original " socialists"—the brute liber-
tines of the field and common. The only difference between
them and the modern socialists, whose avowed leader Lord
Melbourne introduced to our then maiden Queen, is, that the
"bestial herds" of the field and common act according to
their nature—the blind unreasoning instinct of mere animal
existence, whereas the socialists put off the nature of man in
abusing that reason which is the gift of God, and in degrading
themselves to the level of the brute creation. This they call
" emancipation from human prejudices." It is, indeed, an
emancipation to which the ass—the goat, and the hog that
walloweth in the mire, have attained long before them.
We should like to have seen whether the countenance of
the Premier fell or not when the Queen, who had been so
deeply insulted by the introduction to which we have alluded
, was exhorted to promote the cause of true religion and
virtue" throughout the land.

'Th
e socialists" denounce MARRIAGE, BIBLE, and
PROPERTY, as the three great sources of evil to society.
Without property there can certainly be no monarchy, nor,
i
NI,
of course, a Queen or a title to a crown. yaman pro-
fessing such doctrines should be favoured with 7 a p
introduction to a sovereign, the very foundation of w
throne he was endeavouring to remove, we cannot possiblye
conjecture, unless his claim to such distinction was rendered
irresistible by his endeavouring to destroy at the same time
the religion and morality of her people. Without the Bible
we presume we can have no Christianity ; and without the
institution of marriage it would be quite as vain to look for
morality in the Queen's dominions.
Let me leave to the Owenite plagiarists of bestial habits,
and the four-footed " philosophers," whom they imitate,
the enjoyment of a truly-radical " emancipation" from the
ancient bondage of religion and virtue, and let us join with
the " Society of Friends " in repeating the loyal and fervent
atodryiraintrion, " May He, by whom Kings reign and Princes
decree justice, bless thee, 0 Queen, and increasingly Make
thee a blessing to thy own and to surrounding nations, and
mayst thou, at the end of thy days, through the mercy of
,Christ Jesus our Saviour, be received into everlasting

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE—YESTERDAY.
At our market this morning we had a very short supply of
English Wheat fresh up, and of Foregn we have had no ar-
rivals lately. Having experienced a ively demand from the
town millers, the best samples of mulish were taken off at
an advance of fully 2s. per quarter on:he quotations of Mon-
day last, and the inferior description, as well as Foreign,
met a steady sale at fully former price. Flour of both town
and country manufacture was held wth great firmness, but
there not being much inquiry for the trticle, no alteration in
its value took place. Of Barley the resh receipts were very
moderate, and higher.prices were denanded : the trade, how-
ever, though firm, was not brisk, ar a trifling advance was
only realised for the choicest qualitie. The supplies of Oats
from our own coasts, as well as theresh arrivals from Ire-
land, were inconsiderable, and a fir steady business was
done in this grain, and in some intances an improvement
of 6d. per quarter on last week's curency. Beans and Peas
were scarce, and the turn dearer.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEB. 28.

We have, this week, again had very moderate imports of Irish
Grain, Flour and Oatmeal. The arrivals from abroad consist of
6750 qrs. of Wheat, (from Odessa and the Mediterranean,) 890 qrs.
of Barley, and go qrs. of Oats. During this period the business in
Wheat has not been of an active kind; but a purchase or two for
shipment coastwise and to Ireland and a fair retail demand from
