of the sardlnes we eat in the west, are
such as can be caught in the Erie canal

From Lastres, a province of Asturi-
as, we learn that so great number of
sardines have entered the bay at that
place, that twenty-five lighters, belong
ing to the port, and as many more from
Gilon and Candas, have been insufficient
to carry off the innumerable quantities
Of this fish. In fact, almost every day
quarter of million of sardines enter
ed the port, and some days twice that
number; so that neither the extraordina-
ry rivalry Of ponquetos, argoyanos, and
other craft, which were employed in car
rying them of, picked and fresh, nor
the great pains taken to catch the fish at
Santander, Bilboa, and San Sebastian,
could seriously diminish their prodigious
abundance.

HoMILY AGAINST SpITTING.-Yesterda
week Rev. Mr.. Beecher, in a serm on.
in the new church in Orange street,
Brooklyn, inveighed severely against the
filthy practice of splitting in churches.
He said men had a right to snuff. and
chew, and smoke, as much as they pleas
ed at home, but they had no right to in
troduce such profanity into the church,
destroying the carpet and showing dis
respect to the house Of God. What
would theythink of him if he chewed
in the pulpit, and spat from it, They

name of God let them have one place
on earth they could call clean: and let
them abstain fom chewing on the Sab
bath! A suppressed laugh ran through
the whole church at what chewers con-
sidered so very unreasonable. We fear
the revrend gentleman will not be much
more successful than was King James
the First of England, in his Counter
blast against tobacco. "-One young
man, at all events, did not seem to pay
much attention to the onslaught, for he
never stopped splitting on the floor dur
ing the whole of the service.-[N. Y.
