'V To the EDITOR of the CAMBRIAN. MH. EVITOR, IF your correspondent SKNEX should again feel himself inclined to be rcry fanny, I do hope and trust that he will Jet the Bible alone, as it was never intended to be used as the vehicle of shallow wit, or the object of a fool-born jest." As it may probably gratfiy his vanity, I- inform hira that I turned over the hattowed page in search of the chap- ters, &c. which he referred me to; and in so doing, I found two verses, which I cannot resist the inclination of transcribing. They are certainly the fifth 'and sixth verses of "the thirtieth chapter of the Proverbs of Solomon, and «fand thus :—■ Every word of God is pure, he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar 1" MINI-OK.

Instances of immovable Constancy. Sylla had seized upon the city of Rome, and had driven out his enemies thence: and being in arms, cdled the Se- nate together, that, by theni, lie might speedily have C. Marius adjudged the enemy of the people of Rome. There was no man amongst them found who had courage to op- pose Sylla. in this matter, save only D. Scaevoln, the Au- gur, who, being asked his opinion herein, would not de- clare his assent with/the rest. And when Syllll began to threaten him in a terrible manner" though," said he, you shew me all these armed troops wherewiihyou have 'Surrounded this court, and though you threaten me with dtoath itself, yet shall you never bring it to pass, that to save a little old blood, I should judge Marius an enemy, by wiiom the city, and all Italy itself, hath been preserved." [Kr* The forgoing furnishes a strong similitude iu the situationjf-of Moreau and Marius; and also in those of Syl- la and the tyger Bonaparte ] Mode'stus, the Deputy of Jfaieos the Emperor, sought to draw S. Basil, after many other Bishops, into the heresy of Arius. He attempted.a.tlirst with caresses, and all the sugared words that might be expected fr&m one who was not uuoloquent: Disappointedin his he rein- forced his former persuasions with threats of exile and tor- ijients,.and even death itself.

ANECDOTE.—During the examinations of surgeons for the tpmy or navy, jit is well known that the veterans of thai respectable class ojuestion very niinutely those who M'irfi to become qnaMed. At'ter answering very satis- faeUii uy to the numerous enquiriesmade, a young gentle- Bum was asked, if he wished to give his patient a profuse perspinition, what he would prescribe?

A rumour was on Sunday circulated, that the French fleets had not only sailed, but had effected a landing on the coasts of Kent and Sussex. This was swallowed with avidity by many, and the hoax of the day. successful, until it was recollected that •is was the first of April. The Si. Paueras volunteers have had a meeting to take their lute dilemma into consideration, when a Committee was appointed and instructed to write to the Lord Lieutenant, to make a fresh ten- der of their services. A private letter from a gentleman at Renncs in Brittany, states, that two J rench regiments had been ordered from thence into the interior, for de- claring their readiness-to defend Moreau. Admiral Truguet has been appointed Chief Ad- miral of France, with a salary of 60,000 trunks per annum. General Rochambeau has, it is said, requested of Government to be allowed, with his ameers, permission. to return to France on their parole, which has been refused them, the forces which surrendered at St. Lucia having been allowed that indulgence, and the Consular Chief not permitting an equal number of English prisoners of war to he aentinreturn. As many erroneous reports have been circulated with respect to the liabiiityof those persons to be sent abroad, who are baliotted to serve in the army of reserve, we insert the following clause from the act, to satisfy those concerned. "No person en- gaged as a substitute in the army of reserve can be sent along with a regular regiment abroad, unless with his own free will and consent; and any sub- stitute enrolled to serve in the said army of reserve, shall be liable to serve in any part of Great Britain, or Ireland, or the island of Guernsey, Jersey, and Alderney,.andnot elsewhere." A Commission Board is about to be appointed for an effective regulation of prize-money, both in receipt and payment thereof; all the frauds that our gallant tars have so long laboured under will thus be done awav. B. Winthrop, Esq. is elected Governor, and Beeston Long, Esq. Deputy Governor of the Bank of England for the ensuing year.—Lord Melville is elected Governor, and Patrick Miller, Esq.

Cassan, of the 85th regiment, in which the latter was run through the body. Captain D'Arcy and Lieut. Elkington were considerably hurt in Kndeavouriug to part them. At. Wexford Assizes, four men and a woman were found giultvofa barbarous assault on Ann Roney, of Da-vidstown. The prisoners bcoke into the house, &nd not finding the husband at homfe, seiz- ed the poor woman, beat her most cruelly, and then lighting some straw., stripped her naked, and burnt her legs, thighs, and body, in a shocking manner. The four men were sentenced to he pilloried, pub- licly whipped, imprisoned six months, and to find sureties for seven years; the woman to be impri- soned three months.

The doors of Tunnicliff's hotel, at which th-y put up, are generally besieged with carriages. They make their morn- ing visits before the persons visited arc out of bed, and re- ceive visitors in the same way. This forms an additional inducement for many., of our gentlemen, .who are much gratified by an opportunity of paying their respects to the loveiy bride before she has letthcr couch. Her charms, I am told, appear inthis situation to particular advantage. But that Monsieur' should be in bed also to receive his visitants, appears a circumstance as ludicrous as it is un- common." Signal posts are erecting, with the utmost expedition, along the south and south-west coa-sts of Ireland immedi- ately contiguous to which strong buildings are to be con- structed for the accommodation of the naval officers, their assistants, and detachments of soldiers.

It has always been usual for British sailors, with that frankness so conspicuous in their characters, to designate their favourite commanders by means of some apposite ex- pression, originating in some peculiarity, arising either out of their persons or their manners. Accordingly Boscawcn was familiarly termed nr"Y-lwck' Dieh ;1'.yc, so long Port- Admiral at Portsmouth, was always called Aosy -Earl Howe, whose very name is still adored in the navy, receiv- ed the appellation of Black-Dick-, while Admiral Cornwal- lis, on account of a certain twirl of his linger and thumb, added to a. sleek and ruddy connten-utcc, and a wig some- what similar to that seen in front of a nobleman's carriage, is frequently denominated Couchee.

From a late occurrence, the mistress of an eminent board- ing-school, in giving orders for a piano-jorte, enjoined the manufacturer to send it ready tuned. As men-miilincrs have usurped the station of women, some have it in contemplation, and upon less dis- cordant principles, to become forte-piano toners.

A terrible fire broke out on Sunday se'nnight at Ua- vershain, Bucks, occasioned by a chimney in the bouse of Air, Greaves taking lne, the sparks from wtnch communi- cated to a large burn and pig-sties, and from thence to the parish-church, some of the pews in which, with part of 1 lie roof were destroyed, and T'vo cottages in the church-yard entirely burned down, and the furniture destroyed. Wednesday a fire broke out in Woolwich Warren, occa- t sioned by the carelessness of one of the w orkmen, which for some time threatened very alarming consequences.— The man placed a candle so near sonic shavings, that they caught fire, and soon communicated to a large quantity of matches lying against the wooden partition of a store-room in winch were placed 160 barrels of gunpowder. For some time the greatest danger existed of the life commu- nicating through the partition, as the matches when once lighted, can only be extinguished by being trodden upon, water having no effect upon them. Ihe alarm bell was immediately rung, and owing to the great exertions and in- ¡ -trepidity of several of the artillerymen, the flamcs were ex- tinguished in about half an hour. At. Lancaster Assizes, on Wednesday, R. Sparling, Esq. and Captain Colquitt were tried for the murder of Mr. Grayson, of Liverpool, in a dud sometime since. After an investigation of fourteen hours, the gentlemen were both acquitted, so much to the satisfaction of a very crowded auditory, that the authority of the Judge could not prevent them from giying three distinct peals of applause for each verdict. At the Coventry Assizes, James Rnttlidge, for wilfully and fraudulently wounding hiinsell in the leg. for the pur- pose of procuring his discharge from the royai marines, was sentenced to be imprisoned two years, and to pay a line of 51.

Tuesday May 15 j Wednesday May 16 French jluraerers.—A gentleman was latciy acKostfd in; the street St. Martin, at Paris, by a beautiful little girl, about six years of age. Stie.was covered with rags, and. told him that her mother was dying for want, in the fifth tloor of a house in the same street, and that for herself, she had not ate a morsel for forty-eight hours. Touched-with* compassion, the gentleman- said he woidd follow her home, and lf'h'efound her story true, relieve her and her mother. On entering the room, he saw a woman lying OIl a bed, OIl some straw, instead of a mattress. Her looks and voice I seetued to confirm the 5torycf the child. In taking his purse from his pocket, it fell down by accident onrthe lloor; ) stoopiugto takcitup, he saw clearly a man under the' bed. Alarmed, but without losing his presence of mind, he said —" Good woman, here are four crowns, I have no more about me, but let y our child accompany me home, I will give her twenty more." Instead of returning to his lodg- j HlgS, he took the child to a police commissary, where, after some examination, she acknowledged that the person under the bed was Iter father, and.that within the last fortnight, during which they had lodged in the street St. Martin, six persons had been stabbed by him, plundered, and stripped; that two corpses had beeu carried out by him after dark, some nights before, aud thrown into the river, but that four I., corpses yet remained in the closet behind the bed. The police commissary, with the gentleman and some gens d'armes, went immediately to the house, but they found nothing but the four corpses in the closet. The man and woman were gone, and have not since been heard of. In consequence of the discovery made by the child"six for- mer lodgings of these cruel people have been traced, where, according to her report, aud several other circum- stances within the know ledge of the police, during, the last winter, no less than 22 persons of both sexes have been murdered by them. It, was the custom for the woman, as from gratitude, to take hold of her benefactors' hands, and draw them to her lips usshc lay in bed, when the man stole behind them and stabbed them through their backs.
