The Queen has returned to England.
The deep and deadly hostility Of her
royal consort, is manifested by the order
to expunge her name from the Liturgy,
BY which the clergy Of the English Epis-
eopal Church are prohibited from offering
prayers to Heaven for the preservation Of
Her Majesty. She complains to Parlia-
ment, that her name has undergone the
utmost ascerbity Of reproach---iha, her
character has been submitted to the inves-
figation of secret committee-that this
committee had reported, that net shade
Of suspicion was attached to her charac-
Ter. His Majesty the King Of England

served with an infant child In her arms,
the fair compIexionof which excited the
curiosity Oh many persons present. On
questioning the woman, she stated, that
the child bad that morning been put in
her possession at Point Levi, by a man,
who engaged with her and her son to con.
vey il TO town and place il at The Hotel
Dieu, as a foHndIiHg, or dispose of it in

which he paid them half dollar. She
said they had accordingly brought the
child to town, and had it baptized, aud
that she considered It as her property.
and was determined 10 keep il and rear ii
as such. This determination was opposed
by three compassionate ladies' Of the
Lover Town, who Interested themselves
IN the fate Of the poor innocent. They
endeaveured, but for a long time 10 vain,
to persuade the woman to psst with Ii.

on raw corn only at night. and giving TOO
pIeutiiully of water in the morning, so
foundered his horse, that before ten o'clock
he was unable to move a limb. BY the

made decoction Of sassafras root. and
drenched him with il six or seven times,
at intervals Of about an hour, using q
black bottle full at time, with handful
of common salt in it. At four o'clock the
horse walked short distance TO a wheat
field, and eat the green wheat--at night
he was put in dry stable with no other
food than corn blades, and in The morning
the mao continued his journey on sound
horse. No unsoundness was afterwards

/" Man is the modest growth our realms

European writers have strenuously con-
tended, that the productions OF the eastern
continent uniformly degenerate, when
tsansplanted into an American soil-that
aot only vegetables and animals soon be-
come diminuiive, but man also degenerates
10 body aud ia mind. We could not but
think of this theory, and smile at its abb
sardity, while conversing few days since
with an american gentleman. who is sir
feet eight inches and an half high, we'll
proporlioned, and ,ueighs tho hundred and
seventy. He is young, aud appears not
yet to have acquired his full growth. He
is a native Of one Of the western counties
in this state. While accidentally speaking
Of this man to two other gentlemen with
whom we have the pleasure Of an acquain-
lance, one Of them observed that he was
six feet two inches, and the other six feet
four inches. Such facts appear to fur-
uish pretty good data for the REPUTATION Of
European theories, on the degeneracy of
man in the western world.
