ton OF Religious literature and intelligence,
the proposed work, to be entitled the .ueths-
dist hec0rde,," as supervising, il il should obtain

This is age in which Religious Intelligence
is making rapid marches over the face Ut the

FEMALE JUDGES.

In the reign OF Edward III. his mis-
tress, Alice Pierce, actually sat, ON more
than one occasion, in the Kings bench,
usurl ing his royal preroga,lve OF $50
ram Nobis." In Henry suns time, a
special commission was granted to lady
Anne Berkeley, by virtue OF which she
ga, on the bench at Gloucester sessions,
impannelled jury, and received evil
dence on the trial Of Sir Nicholas Po-
rynx, and others, for riot and disorderly
conduct, who were convicted OF the same
before her ladyship. The English laugh
si the oddities of the people OF other
countries, and have INDUCED themselves
at our expense. II would be very easy
to sit down, and after allowing them all!
their deserved reputation in arts and
arms, to select such an overwhelming
mass of oddities, ecoentriciiies, absurdi-
ties, follics and crimes, as would aslonish
the mind of "us natives" We never
have, and probably never can, in this day
Of illumination, commit one hundreth
part of the excuses, which crowd the
history of England. And yet England,
with all her faults" is an object of admi-
ration and applause.

With loves celestial fire,

Those in the hollow. being designed for
incubation, may prove useless TO the
traveller, but the others on the outside
will always be iound fit for eating. We
made our dinner from the ostrich eggs !;
each OF the Hotentots eating a whole
one, although containing as already men
toned, as much food as twenly four OF
the domestic hen.
The mode in which they were cooked
was one OF great antiquity. A small
hole the size of finger was dexterious
ly made at one end, and having cut a
forked stick from the bushes, they MIRO
duce il into the eggs by pressing the two
prongs close together; then, by twlrlins
the end of the suck between the palms
o! lhsir hands, for short time, they
completely mixed the white and the yolk
together.
Setting it upon the FIRE, they continued
frequently to turn the sticks, until The in-
side had acquired the proper Conscience
of a boiled egg. This method recon
mends itself to a traveller by its expedi-
lion, cleanliness, and simplicity, and by
requiring neither pot nor water; the
she'll answering perfectly the purpose OF
The first, and the liquid nature Of its con-
tents, that OF the other"
