POPULAR HARLEoulNs The clowns in the circus
have not got all the world of fun to themselves For
the tntilng sum of a shilling head, the public can
witness the keen encounter Of wit, and refined gla-
datsrship of respe ctable merry andrews at the Ta-
bernace, every other night in the week. John Cos

1t is positively mysterious how these &c Debates'
at the Tabernacle, happen to be attended by crowds
of intel igent ladies and gentlemen. The taste of
the age has, however, become quite too refined to
tolerate such things the plays of Shakespeare and

vances in PHILOSOPHY, morals and religion Is it
strange that truth and virtue should be sitting under
the willows, and common sense be fast retreating
before the practical folly and error of generation
so wise in their own concet?

gene Sullivan, two of the boys confined for alleged
participation in the mutiny on board the Somers,
were yesterday brought before Judge Greenwood of
Brooklyn, on writ Of habeas corpus The ground

with copy of the charges against them at the time
of their arrest. These prisoners have been IN con-

Greenwood postponed his decision till this day at
O'Clock, in order to allow the District Attorney time
prepare his defence, and show for the con-
finement of the boys

tholic publishing house in this CITY, The instrument
by which these gentlemen are determined to sound
the "vasty deep" of the gulibity of their religious
brethren, is in the form of pamphlet, purporting 10

Tyrol," is represented as having lived for the last
eight years without having ate drank, or slept, and
exhibiting in her person perfect fac simile to the
wound inflicted on the person of the Saviour in his
crucfxion The other presents, it is stated, pretty
much the same appearances-the marks of the crown
of thorns, the wounds in the side and hands and feet
