FOR THE WdTcHMAN.

However Indifferent some people are on religious
subjects, all well bred persons will demean them
selves with proprety in place of worship, and pay
that respect to their Maker and those engaged in
the services of his sanctuary, which the occasion
calls for. l am induced to make these remarks in
hope that they will benefit some. young men who
are in the habit Of attending Trinity Church, with
no other object in view, one would suppose from
their conduct, than TO disturb those who sit near
them. They we're there last Sunday, and one oil
them rendered himself conspicuously ridiculous by
his rreverent and silly behaviour. He spent most,
of the morning in talking and laughing as though he
had no more ideas of correct department. than is
possessed by calabash. l only refrain from de-
signaling him, through respect to his relatives. But
here inform the young man, (genteman cannot
ducts himself when at Church, in manner more
becoming the time and place, l will render him
more conspicuous than he wishes to be.

The Duke of York.-The Liverpool Mercury,

The Duke of York.-The Liverpool Mercury,
in reprobating the conduct of the Duke of York on
the Catholic Emancipation Bill, says: "we never
estimated the talents or judgment of the Duke Of
York very highly, and his recent display, certainly
has not tended to elevate this Military Bishop in
our opinion !" - If princes will, however,
have their quaIms, when positive good is to be
DONE they ought not to lay aside such scruples OF
conscience, when the indulgence of their pas.
sions is alone concerned. Marriage is a. solemn
sacrament as a coronation oath; and yet we recoI-
lect one Mary Ann Clarke, who had influence
enough TO seduce this Duke of York from his duty
and the obligations Of his sacred marriage vow.'

generally turned to the cultivation of cotton the
corn crop has been neglected, and the writer as
serts that farmers at the north and east may rea.
sonably calculate on ready and profitable sales Of
corn IN the southern states.
