/ CHATHAM STREET CHAPEL-BURcHARp AND MAR
TrS.-Thers has been quite revolution in Chatham
street Chapel; the Reverend brother Martin has been
requested TO quit, in order to make room for brother
Burchard who had been sent for in order to preach
the concern up, and make il popular There tricks
in all trades, We see and the mystery even of the
goodness of this world, when thrown open to public
gaze is found TO be made up of pretty much the
elements as secular matters. Saint Jededah Bur-
chard and his Egera of wife, therefore, are to be
the apostle and the elect lady of this independent re-
lisious sect founded Christian love- and proceed
ing upon the commandment which we had from the
beginning that we love one another" Mr. Burchard
IS now installed as the Gamaliel Of this church. and
Mr. Martin is to depart in peace bnt he has Sc, his
face against this proceeding and gansays its Justice,
saying, pay me what We owe me, even unto the ut

BILE, and Mr.. Martin is certainly entitled 10 his paw
which we hope he will receive forthwith, and not &C.
caslon scandal and causes of stumbling among the
pious.
MI. BHchard, we hear, hath ceased somewhat of
the vehemence of his celebrations having succeeded
IN exercising the evil spirits, and laying the old SER
pent in the Red sea, until the fifth angel sounds his
trumpet. His Boanerges attribute has subsidized into
comparative calmness by which his elo9aence is i'm
proved as what II loses in violence gained in rea
son and argument. We admire some of the byeaw.
by which this religious association is governed; one
OF which is, that no one shall be member of the
household OF faith who uses tobacco in any shape,
either smoking, Chewing, or shutting The congrega-
ton has right to feel earnestly on this point as
new carpet was furnished TO the pulpit last week the
former one being entirely destroyed by the expecto-
ration of tobacco Juice upon it by the preachers who
have held forth there We approve of this move; but
would recommend the trustees 10 pay Mr. Martin his
salary forthwith.

A LOVING CoupLE.-The Hereford (Eng)
Herald relates marriage anecdote which
may serve as I" caution to your beginners"
The story is, that Mr.. T. Powell brought
his newly married bride before the magis-
trates at Hereford, and charged her with
"absenting herself from home at those times
she ought to be at home" The complainant
stated his grievances at great length. Mr..
and Mrs. Powell had been eight weeks mar
ried. The fifth day of their union was ter
minated by the lady receiving sound drub-
bling, and the husband being locked in the
watch-house for the night. The wife took
out four warrants against her liege lord for
and up to the present charge had been eight
times complainant against him. Mr.; p.
offered his lady separate maintenance, but
she declined, valiantly declaring, that she
would yet make good husband Of him!
KIDNAPPNe.-By a letter In the Albany
Evening Journal from Col. Webb. we learn
that he was arrested in Bristol and held to
bail for one thousand pounds sterling, on de
etRdarii Of john Van Barren, the claim being
for q note held by the City Bank of Albany,
and sent for the purpose Of throwing Webb
in prison in foreign country, where Il was
expected he had no friends. The note he
alleges was obtained from him under false
pretences. Il was disgracefhl attempt TO

FEMALE RAsHNEss.-A circumstance oc-
Cured at Newport, (says correspondent of
q Bristol paper1 on Monday last, which
shows how unbridled are the passions of
some ladies when thwarted in their inclina-
tons by their husbands. A woman, by the
name of Philips, wished to attend a fashiona-
BILE bazaar, given for the benefit of the new
church but her husband objected, on &C.
count of her services being required at home,
upon which she declared, if he did not allow
her to 60. she would Immediately chop of
her finger. The threat was of course treated
with contempt. but strange to say. she carried
her intention into effect, and no sooner was
one off than q second shared the same fate :
when, with the most extraordinary berseyer.
ence, she exclaimed, "here's to 90 AT the
hand" The Ratchet, for that was the ipstru.
ment used. Immediately fell Immediately be.

tendons, but without injuring the bone. Mr..
marry Fry, surgeon, was sent for and the
lady was destined to undergo a second IN.
iitction by having both the stumns amputat.
ed. and her mutilated hand was dressed.-
She declared In the presence OF that gentle.
man, although she regretted the lass az her
finger, she would do the sRme thing again.
rather than any restraint should be nut Vpon
her reasonable inclinations.
