a Swedish brig, took what they could Gu!
of her, and let her go; then an Engll'n
ship, bound to Jamaica from Madeira

that the English captain abandoned d.
ship 10 the privateer, and went win DIS
people into the boats, to endeayour 10 60

.!tcoaaI Of that extraordinary production
Of Nature, the Russian Lamb.
The most extraordinary of the curiosi-
ties OF Little Tartary, is the Lamb Of
Mascovy, which grows between the two
great rivers, the Don and the Wolga. This
plant is remarkable for possessing great
portion OF the animal nature. Ii is for
this reason called the Animal plant; as al
SO Zoophytes. The fruit is Of The size
of gourd, or melon; it has the figure oil
a sheep, all the limbs of which are diseov-
cradle. Ii is fastened to the earth by the
naval, upon stalk of two feet in length.
1t always leans towards the grass, aud The
plants that grow round it. and changes lis
place as much as the stump will suffer-
When the fruit comes to maturity, the
stalk dies; it is covered with a hairy
skin, irizzled like that of lamb just la
med, and this skin serves it as a fur to de-
fend it from the cold. Ii is further observ-
ed that this plant never dies, till it can no
longer find any grass TO nourish 1.-THE
fruit yields juice like blood when it is
taken from the stalk,

SCOTCH EdnQ[1CS.-A religious SeCts
protesting some most extraordinary doc
trines, has appeared in the Highlands OF
Perthshire. These misguided fanatics
have come from the Lowlands-they call
themselves Free-meu,' and adopt the
tenets OF the Minnonites of the 10Th cen
fury and of that sect known in England
by the name of BrowRonianS. They
affirm that every sort of external worship
is useless-that they are free from all
moral and political restraint-that the
truth has made them free. and that being
under the immediate guidance Of the
Holy Spirit, they can commit no SIM.
Happily this sect is not numerous.
Religious Observation-Disclosures.
ing the ridicule and contempt to which
the followers of Johanna Sou,hcott were
exposed some years back, when that un-
fortunate creature paid the debt of nature,
without bringing forth the promised Shi-
lob, of whom her disciples publicly de-
clared she was pregnant, scion OF ths
old stock has again sprung into something
like celebrity, and contrived to draw 10
him few credulous fools, whom he has
taught to believe that Shiloh was actu-
ally born, although invisible to the eyes Of
all disbelievers, and will shortly come
forward, and, as he says, " Shame the
Devil" and put an end to all doubts of
his divine mission. This wretched fanatic
made his appearance at Camden Town, on
Wednesday last, attended by about a
dozen of his followers. He took up his
situation near the Pound, and delivered
a long discourse on the virtues and
heavenly attributes of Johanna after
W hich he launched into wild and incom-
prehensible rant, in which he prophesied
the immediate coming of Shiloh, the real
Saviour of mankind. Those who ap-
peared TO be his disciples listened to this
iarson with the most ardent attention, and
by their signs and groans proved how
deeply they were affected. Those, how
ever, attracted by curiosity, soon evinced
their disgust al the scene which was pre-
sented, and bursting into groans of DIFF
ferent character, drove the Prophet from
his post. He retired with devout hui
miIity. 1t is not little remarkable, that
there was among the followers, one man Of
a most respectable appearance, who re-
sides near to Hampstead, and is known to
have been most liberal contributor TO the
fund raised for purchasing a silver cradle
and other nursery furniture, shortly prev
ious to The expected aecOuchement of poor
Johanna Southcott.
