Pints Feat/v.—The following
made much noise at Lisbon.—Many years since, a
person who was bred a carpenter, not finding the bit-
siness to 'hie likine, enlisted for a soldier, of which
profession l►e also became tired, and successively fllt•
ed the situations of footman, shopkeeper, and
.servant
at a convert. This latter place suited hts inclinations,
and after a proper noviciate, he became a brother of
the Order. The. Prior perceiving the new friar to be
a man of capacity, constituted him agent for masses.
In this situation he had to receive application front
those pious persons who wished to have masses said
for the souls of their departed relatives, or to be laid
up in store for their own advantage, when they should
claim admittance of St. Peter into Heaven. The price
of these masses was known, and after paying the oe-
eessary sum, the person making the holy purchase was
told when to call again, at which time a certifittate re-
gularly signed, was given, certifying that a certain
number Or .noses were carried to the credit of the in-
dividuals to be benefitted after death. This, it ap-
pears was a most lucrative office, for the agent con-
trived in a few years to realise 40,000 crowns. As
none of these masses had been celebrated, he became
as he said, uneasy in his conscience, and wisher to re.
sign, and qui: the convent. The good prior nisei
every argument in his power to alter this resolution,
bet fintlii.g the agent refractory, he hail bin' seizes(
and confined in the dungeon of the convent, where he
remained for a year and a half. However, his CUP°
embus wet•• lra?pily secured beyond the reach of
for Holy Fathers, who knew not that he possessed
such a sum. 'la►int beard from the friar that brought
him provision., of the Revolution, he set his wits in
work to profit by the change. One titrisaing, whealii4
'keeper 'nought liini his rapper, he contrived to stun
Ishii by a sudden blow on the head; when tying hie
hands and f•et, as he lay insensible, he seize) the key
of the cell, 10. ked him in, and was so fortunate as to
effect his esitape.—ills first business was to present a
petition to the Cortes, describing the whote system of
knavery in which he had so long borne a part, ea-
-I,res4ing his penitence, and praying protection from
tln• vengeance of the Hwly Brotherhood. This seas
erAnteil, and an inquiry into the allegations of the
petin.u+er nas ordered. It is supposed that the ilis-
elosares that are likely to be made will be attended
with iiiiiiiirtant effects to the convent. The petiti.iner
k t •ps a chaise, which be has hired by the month, ant
jives in Afflaence on his share of the plunder of the

tool that though they have paid their money. the son!.
of their fr;ends are all.sa•ed to remain in purgatory.

A pig belonging to a person near Launceston was
lately missed, and after a diligent search for it, this
owner supposed it bad been stolen. At the expiration
of nine days, the animal was discovered lying on its
bark in the puddle at the bottom of a deep ditch. into
which it appears it had fallen, and from which it was
unable to extricate itself. When found, it was covered
with sw-ams of flies, and appeared to be exhausted by

sects that cowered it; however, in half an boar after
being extricated, it took food, was able to walk home.
