ppeated, from questions put to the prisoner by the
Wayor, and by the cridence of witnesses who had ac-

Ind, having wandered, by Glasgow, Liver-
lancbester to Hull, came up to London by the

Robert Peel, who `• must answer him, or be destroyed."
questions of the Lord Mayor he returned the most
ind rambling answers. He had been a ser-

cohere'

'eaver ; bu.

t for the last three years he had
ved on his earnings, (X3OO studying the Bible, the Greek
Testament, John Knox's History, and many books that he
could not name. if his wandering words are intelligible, he
conceived that there was a union (which seems to be a con-
fused idea between the union of the two kingdoms and a cle-

.cal combination) to put out all truth from-the Churches of
England and Scotland ; he wanted to see Sir Robert Peel to
break this union ; .but when asked what he meant to do if he
did not succeed, he evaded the question. Afterwards, when
111 r. Hewitt, the clerk of the packet company, repeated his
declaration that Sir Robert Peel must be destroyed, and the
Lord Mayor asked, " Is that your idea?" he replied, " It is ;
that every Minister who holds up Antichrist must be put
down." He adjudged that " man must reign, not the re-
' -" and he held, that if the Queen did not lay down her
she must be destroyed. Pistols being mentioned, be
exclaimed " I never intended the pistols." The Lord
Mayor remarked, that there was no law in the Bible that he
should destroy a man who would not fulfil what be thought
per ; on which he answered readily, " I think there is
"71,osoever will not serve the Lord, shall be
put to death.'" He quoted other texts, and a paper was
produced in which be had joined " Such oppressors make
wise men mad" to " That very justly they should stab."
" The Bible does not teach you that," said the Lord Mayor.
" Yes," he answered, " you will see the passages in Judges :
Ahab the King was stabbed ; and he was a very fat man you
know." He does not appear to have heard of the assassina-
tion of Mr. Drummond; but he said that he first heard of
Sir Robert Peel's being in power " When the man shot at the
Queen ; that first drew my attention to the subject." He
had but 2s. 24d. in his pocket when taken. He did not ob-
ject to his father being written to ; but he said his father
thought him " bad beyond correction."
The Lord Mayor asked whether Major Shaw had not
found some documents of a singular character in the posses-
sion of the prisoner? Mr. Superintendent Shaw immedi-
' - produced some papers, of which the following are the
'pal extracts :

such a thing

" Madam, in Christ's name I do thee
Address, because they have put me
Where, by law, I can never stand,
Because it would sink any land.
Intolerable it must be
To make a woman head of me.
And if besides me there's a man,
I'll speak a word unto the clan.
For Scotchmen bas all abjured thee,
And sworn no prelate shall rule me,
And I am no more bound unto her
Than if I had parried my sister.
And though her Ministers should bless,
God's law will curse, nevertheless,
And shall sweep off those that join her's,
Both commoners and state ministers.
'or all such men do turn God's law
;f it were a pile of straw.
might her foolish men
..ase earth to pass and the heaven,
Than make the woman's reign lawful ;
To men bless such is awful.
Perhaps she'll cry—Treason, treason,
As one did once without a reason ;
But Jehoida's voice is plain,
Let such as follow her be slain,
And God shall certainly him bear,
And thrust them through as with a spear
So she that can two faiths prescribe,
Had ne'er a right the throne to side."

01 crime ea

—Do not look so much upon
The outside of the cup,
As to the wine contained therein,
Lest lotbingly you sup.
And, as you read, consider well
The unlearned state of
The writer of the letter rude
Lest you should at it scoff.
But Scotchmen look the union up, .
And see if 1 mistake,
When I hold you are bound, this day,
The Prelates to forsake."
" A Letter to Sir Robert Peel, England :
" Robert, I am a Scotsman born,
And yet this day I sit forlorn ;
And, though I am near thirty-one,
My minority's scarcely done,
Because a woman is made head,
Which 1 must neither fear nor dread;
Such oppressors make wise men mad,
That very justly they would stab
With Chad, though he had few men,
Whose success we may shortly ken;
Or Jehoida, good and plain,
That would have Ethalia slain—
Now God commands as he did then,
Let such as follow her be slain.
When God sets them below woman,
Their lowness tell I never can ;
And if in earnest they can pray,
That God may lead them lung astray
By a curst woman, they must be
Low to an awful great degree."
Upon the suggestion of Mr. Made, the prisoner was
remanded till next Friday.

Before he left the bar, lie anxiously requested that a pocket
Bible which had been taken from him by the constable should
be returned. As it was handed about the court, his eyes
eagerly watched it, and when given him, he, with much ap-
parent pleasure, thrust it into his bosom.

A CLAIMANT FOR THE CROWN.—The London papers
of Wed.tesday last give the following as a copy of a placard,
partly in M.S. and partly in print, left at the office by a fe-
male who has of late been giving considerable trouble by her
vagaries to magistrates and newspaper proprietors :—[IN
MANUSCRIPT.] " British soldiers !—Act like free men.
The power you possess will be required, and when I need
your aid—protect me." [IN PRINT.] " VICTORY !
' Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace ; good will
towards men!—Luke ii., v. xiv. Jesus Christ, when on
Earth in the form of Man, asserted that God was his Father,
and for that was persecuted by his own people, the Jews; I,
with as much confidence, assert that He, Jesus Christ, is
my Husband. I have been persecuted by my people, and may
still be more so for maintaining this glorious truth. I will
nevertheless maintain it ; for I have a right so to do. Christ
lived, suffered, died, was buried, and rose from the dead for
the salvation of mankind. I was permitted to be born, to
suffer, to die, to be re-animated, and to live, for the same
purpose. Bigoted Christians, who are as blind as the Jews
were, will assert that 1 speak blasphemy. Can they prove it?
No. 1 wish they would make the attempt. SARAH
NEWELL. Feb. 17, 1843. The above is an extract from
a letter written by S. N., Nov. 9, 1841." [IN MANU-
SCRIPT.] " Who is ❑ow your Queen? I am. March 7,
1843. S. N." There can be no mistake as to the state of
this female's mind; the only question is, as to the propriety
of allowing such persons to be at large. A gentleman in-
forms us that this woman is in the habit of frequenting the
lobby of the House of Commons.

MIRACULOUS CLAY.—A correspondent informs us that
some months back a priest, named Kelleher, residing in the
neighbourho, d of Mallow, died and was buried in the church-
yard of Kilshannick. After his interment, an old woman
afflicted with sore eyes had a dream that if she went to the
grave of Father Kelleher, and drank a portion of the clay,
mixed with watur, her eyes would be cured. She acted on
the dream and journeyed to the burial-place, where she par-
took of a portion of the clay diluted in water. The old woman
returned home, and, as report states, was perfectly cured.
The rumour of the miracle ran through the country, and the
consequence is, that numbers of cripples and sickly people
have since daily visited the grave-yard, with the hope of being
relieved from the diseases under which they labour. To such
•ari extent has this been carried on that, from the numbers
who have visited the grave, the clay has been eaten down, if
the expression may be used, to the coffin. The scene is alto-
gether most disgusting, hundreds of those ignorant people,
under the idea of obtaining a cure, mixing the clay with water
in blacking pots and similar vessels, and quaffing off the con-
tents with as great a relish as if it was the most delightful
beverage. Besides this, the " blessed clay," as they call it,
draws the poor from the most distant parts of the country.
and, many of them being unable to return home, are obliged
to beg from the residents in the district of the church-yard
for something to keep them from starring. Altogether the
nuisance has become intolerable, that steps should be taken
by those whose duty is to prevent it, by impressing on the
poor and ignorant people the folly of relying on the clay of a
church-yard for effecting a cure, notwithstanding that it sur-
rounded the coffin of a priest.—Cork Constitution.
THE EASTERN STYLE.—In the course of the debate in
the House of Commons on Thursday, on the motion of 3,1 r.
Vernon Smith, reprehensive of Lord Ellenborough's procla-
mation as to the gates of Soronauth, Mr. Emerson Tenant
read one or two existing styles of some of the princes to
whom that document was addressed. The following is from
A mee r Dost Mahorned Khan to Lord Auckland, and dated
May 31, 1836 :—" As I have been long attached to the
British Government by the ties of friendship and affection,
the late intelligence of your lordship's arrival, enlightening
with your presence the seat of government, and diffusing
over Hindostan the brightness of your countenance, has
afforded me extreme gratification, and the field of my hopes
(which had before been chilled by the cold blast of the times)
has, by the happy tidings of your lordship's arrival, become
the envy of the garden of Paradise." The subjoined is a
letter from Runjeet Singh, addressed to Lord Glenelg:—
" At a happy moment, when the balmy zephyrs of the spring
t
were blowing from the garden of friendship, and wafting _o
my senses the grateful perfume of its flowers, your excellency

the winged words of sweet discourse, Mr. Burnes; and
receipt of which has caused a thousand emotions of pleasure
and delight to arise in my breast. By the favour of Sue_e
Akal Poorukh Joe (God) there are in my stables valuable
and high-bred horses from the different districts of H 1..:
dostan, from Turkistan, and Persia, but none of them will
bear comparison with those presented to me by the King,t
through your excellency; for these animals, in heauy:
stature, and disposition, surpass the horses of every city and
every country in the world. On beholding

letters to show that the oriental style was net at all shellsr
