V., 1, 2.—"And seeing the multitude, he went up into a mountain and taught them." 44 From the top of Tabor you have a prospect, which, if nothing else, well rewards the labour of ascending it. It is impossible for man's eyes to behold a higher gratification of this nature. On the north vtest you discern, at a distance, the Nlediterranean and all around, you have the spacious and beautiful ptains of Edraelon and Galilee, which present you with the view of so many places memorable for the resort and miracles of the Son of (rod. "At the bottom of T.Al)or, westward, stands Daberah, a small village, supposed by some to take its name from Deborah, that famous Judge and deliverer of Israel. Near this valley is the fonntain of Kislum. "Not many leagues eastward you see mount Hermon, at the foot of which is seated Nain, famous for our Lord's raising the widow's son there.(Luke, vii. 14): and Endor, the place where dwelt the witch consulted by Saul. Turning a little southward you have in view the high mountains of Gilboah, fatal to Saul and his sons. Due east you discover the sea of Tiberias, distant about one day1 journey; and close by that sea, they shew a steep mountain, down which the swine ran, and perished in the waters. A few points towards the north appears that which they call the Mount of the Btatkudes a small rising from which our blessed Saviour deli- vered his sermon in the otli, Gfli, and 7th chapters of St. Mathew. Not far from this hill is the city Saphet, supposed to be the ancient Belhulia. It stands upon a very eminent and conspicuous" mountain, and is seen far and near. May we not suppose that Christ alludes to this city in those words of his sermon, (Mat. v. 14): "a city set on a hill cannot be hid I A Conjecture which seems the more probable, because our Lord, in several places, affects to illustrate his discourse by comparisons taken from objects, that were then present before the eyes of his auditors. As when he bids them, 'behold the fowls of the air,' and the lilies of the field' "From Mount Tabor you have likewise the sight of a place which they tell you was Dothaim, where Joseph was sold by his brethren and of the field where our blessed Saviour fed the mul- titude with a tew loaves, and fewer fishes."— Maundrtll's Journey from Jlleppo to Jerusalem— 1697. LAW ELOQUENCE—The following powerful, eloquent, and classic appeal was made in a court of justice souewhere in Kentucky by one of the "learned heads" of the bar Gentlemen of the jury, do you think my client, who lives in the pleasant valley of Kentucky, where the lands is rich and the .oil are fertile, would be guilty of stealing eleviog little Ikains of cottiug ? I think not, I recoo not, I calculate not. And, I guess, gentlemen of the jury, that you had better bring my client in not guilty, for if you convict him, he aud his sou John will lick the whole of you." DICK AND THE POSTMAN.—-A gentleman tired of town servants, wrote to a friend in the couniry to send him one. Oil his arrival he was summoned to his master's bed-room "My lad," said he I am ill with the gout, therefore for the present shall give you only one lesson. This isa wicked.cheatin" town When you buy anything forme, never give above halt' what asked. The next morning he was roused by a clamorous dispute in the hall. Inqniring the cause, he was informed that his new servant was squabbling w,th the postman, who had demanded fifteen pence for a letter, which Dick thought too much, (leclaritig that nothing should induce him to give more than sevenpence halfpenny, which, in his opinion, was a great deal more than it was worth. REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF ATTACHMENT IN A —I he sagacity of the dog, and his fidelity towards the human species, are prominent among the many estimable qualities for which he his renowned. Instances of such traits in the fe'ine race are more rare, it being generally imagined that the partialities of the cat are devoted rather to the habitations than to the persons of mankind. The following instance ofa contrary disposition ought, inj ustice to poor puss, toberecorded. An interesting little girl, three years old, the daughter of a gentleman living at Burnett, while playing in the garden where her parents were Walkiekg, crept under a bush; when the rustling of the branches arousing the attention of the house dog, he made towards the spot, which was no sooner perceived by a cat belonsjinj to tiie family, thau she »prang across the dog" path from the place where she wtis lying, a, some distance, and keeping him at bay, fairly prevented him from approaching the bush. Struck with the singularity of the circumstance, the gentleman resolved to ascertain the real cause of the cats conduct; and, accordingly, on the fullowing" day replaced his litlle girl in her former position, in Bight of the cat; then, calling the dog, and attracting bim towards the bush, hud the gratification of wit- nessnig the scene of the preceding day repeated. Puss instantly resumed her atlitude of defiance, nor would she, so long as the child remained suffer the do* to nvade the retreat of her little favourite — Hertford Press. TENACITY OF LIFE IN TENCH—In September last four tench were taken out of3 mere, at Play ford, in Suffolk, in the morning-, and were packed in dry Straw. They arrived in London on the same evening and two of them showing strong signs of life, they were put into river water and soon came round. At balf-past 10 o'clock on the following mornin" they were packed again, with the dead ones in dry straw, alung to the lainp iron of a coach, and so carried to Sudbury, whence they were wheeled in a barrow, with other luggage, to Upper Haiti ford, Middlesex. On their arrival, about two o'clock p.m„ one only was Ivioff. It was put into a tub ofraiii water recovered in the course of the day, and on the net morning was turned into a pond quite live|y aud we||.

These fishes sometimes abound and a fisherman, who informed me of the circumstance found seven of them at one time on the deck of a trawl-boat* On expressing his surprise at the number, he was told that it was not uncommon to take a dozen at once. Wheu this fish is taken in a net, its captivity does not destroy its rapacious appetite, but it generally devours some of its fellow- prisoners, which have been taken from their stomachs alive, especially lfounders. It is not so much sought after for its own flesh, as for the fillh generally to be found in its stomach thus, though the fishermen reject the fish itself, they do not reject those that the flsb has collected.— Yarreir„ Bnttlh Fishes,

CHURCH REPAIRS. ---dom-
CHURCH REPAIRS. -dom- TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE & GUARDIAN. SlR,J Facts disguised, modified, or collected only on one side of a question, must ever lead to lallacy and error." Suffer me to lay before your intelligent readers a proof of the truth of this position, derived from the leading article of your contemporary, on Church Rates, which will, perhaps, supply us with apt illustration. To follow Dr Abercrombie's useful enumeration of the sources of sophistry, that article contains, l-Alleed facts which are not true. 2- Facts not relating to the subject discussed. 3-and is further disfigured by the omission of important facts. 1.—With relation to the tripartite division of Tithes, Seldeu does not think it worth while to notice the opinion that such division had been practised in England, in the body of his work, but thus alludes to it in his preface It is a common but most deceiving argument,aiffrmatively to conclude fact or practice oi tithing from what is ordained for tithes in any old canon of the Church." He then proceeds to quote, "Lyndwood, who knew both the general practice here and the canons"—against the parish churches being repaired (as to the nave) by the Incumbent, and thus concludes-J To aprue there- fore, from affirmative canons only to practice, is equal. in not a few things, (and especially in this of titheing) to the proving of the practice of a custom from some consonant law of Plato's Commonwealth, of Luciau's .lien ill the Aloon, or of As-i*topliaiies his City Of Cuckooes in the Clouds." How often, when you think that the brains are knocked out of an error, will the reptile raise itsetf on its coiUaud hiss at you again. Another alleged fact, which turns out untrue, on turning to Bede's History, is, that in the Epistle of Pope Gregory, &c, "his Holiness distinctly requires that a portion of the Tithes be set apart for the repair of Churches." The hue fact is, that he only mentions this practice, in reply to a question about altarage, and gives his advice against its udopfion in the infancy of the Anglo-Saxon Church. It is alleged, that 11 C'hi4rchshol," (as the Plumbago of the Cambrian writes it,) consisted in c, the first fruits of seed," the' coi-i-tiplion of the word, in Saxon, which misled the Latin translator, v-as ably pointed out by Whelock, in 1644; it cannot denote seeds, for no one thinks of them when he talks of paying Scot and Ljt. "Cliui-ch Scot, as it ought to be written, signifies simply a portion paid to the Church, and has just its much to do with Corn Tithes as it has with the first fruits of seed." There is positive proof of its having been paid in poultry When will the old correspondent of the Cumbrian get tired of this blunder? 2.—We have a luculent instance of facts not re- lating to the argument, in "the quaint and curiolls list," as it is called, of to be found for Churches by the parishioners, in the year 1305. This list was printed a few weeks a-o, by the St. James s Chronicle, correctly; the blunders in the Cambrian are as genuine « as any sim- pleton who can scribble in a newspaper," (to borrow the phraseology of its contnblltors) could commit. My business is to observe that it is irrelevant to the argument, with the exception of that part which enjoins oil the parishioners the repair of the body of the-Church inside and outside. 3.—We pass, therefore, to the omis.vi,,n of'tliat material clause which pi aces oil the parishioners the maintenance of the enclosure (If tire churchyard, Clausiiram CtrQwtcrii, which it is probable the gentleman who talks of <•« Ceji«,r," instead of a Center, was unable to English, on which account these delinquencies may be palliated, ifnot excused. We now arrive at "a dictum" short and pithy sen- tentious, if not profound, on the celebrated statute, Circumspccte Agatis, 13 Ed. 1, which is generally considered to be only declatory or confirmatory of the ancient common law, although made so lone ago as 1-2S5. oil this important provision for the decent worship of the Giver of all public as well as private good, we have the following remark: — "This isa singular example of the mode in which law sometimes springs out of the weakness of mankind, and is based on their superstition and their Ignorance." So much for a national duty, of the highest and most beneficent order. What, cauuot a man be too shallow to be superstitious—too wavering to he i-ei i,, i o u Is it impossible for a nation or an individual, "to turn about, wheel about, do just so," and after having a try at every thing, stick at nothing Neither can do so, without unconsciously and un- conscionably exposing themselves, and neglecting the rule Circumspccte agatis.

CHURCH PASTORAL AID SHCIUTY.—The second annual meeting of this society took place on Friday week in Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen Street. Lord Ashley, M.P., took the chair, and, after a brief address on the objects of the society, called on the Rev. John Harding, the secretary, to read the report. The funds have risen from February, 18345, to March, 1837, to tbe sum of £ 7.363 lis. The society has received great support from the Lords Bishops of Winchester, Salisbury, Chichester, Chester, and the late Bishops of Norwich and Salisbury. The following noblemen have been added to the list of vice patrons :—The Rt. Hon. the Earl of Clarendon, the lit. Hon. the Earl of Chi- chester, Lord Bexley, Lord Faversham, and Lord Sandon. The grants of the society already voted, provide for the employment of 58 clergymen and 13 lay assistants. So great has been the increase of this society since its commencement last Year, though it then met in the small room at Exeter Hall, that the large hall in which it met on Friday week was crowded to excess. Among the gentlemen noticed on the platform were, the Rt- Kev. Lords Bishops of Winchester and Chester; Sir Andrew Agnew, M.P. Capt- Algae;er, NI.P.; Capt. Harcourt, R N. J. Hardy, Esq., M P., &c., &e. On Sunday, Chester and its neighbourhood were visited by a terrific thunder atid snow storm which was attended with fatal circumstances in the village of Beeston.

Lord RIPON gave notice, that he will on Monday next move for a copy of a letter addressed by Colonel Arthur, late Governor of Van Dieman's Land, to the Colonial Secretary, relative to the government of Ihat colony. Lord HADDINGTONgave notice, that he wi I to- mori-ow a-k a question relative to the intention of His Majesty's Government, arising out of the report (If the Commissioners of Public Instruction in Scotland. The other business transacted was confined to the presentation of Petitions. HOUSE OF COMMONS—THURSDAY. After the disposal of private bu-ines«, there was a conveisation respecting the slate of tite public measures, iu which so liitle progress has been made; but it had no result, nor do we liud in the observa- tions that fell from Hon. Members any groulld of hope that the time ofthe House will be more uselal y employed, at least for the present. On the motion of Mr GILLON, a Select Com- mittee was jippointed to inquire into the best manner of rendering more just the taxation on the different modes of travelling." Mr Serjeant TALFOUKI) obtained leave to briti, in a Hill "to consolidate and amend the laws re- nting to property in the nature of copyright in books, musical compositions, acted dramas, pictures, and engravings, to provide remedies for the violation thereof, aind to extend the term 01 its duration." Mr ELPHINSTONE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to render the register of electors final. Mr L. CHARLTON rose to move for the appoint. ment of a Select Committee to inquire into the matter of the Ludlow Charity Trusts; but the House was counted out in the course of the Hon. Member's speech, shortly after 7 o'clock. .6'6'#### HOUSE OF LORDS—FRIDAY. Petitions were presented for and against Church Rates, for and against the We-it Cork Mining Com- pany's Bi'l, against the Cork and Passage Railway, from 700 graduates of Cambridge against any violent interference with the University system. rhe Glagow Police Bill was read a second time. THE SCOTTISH CHURCH. The Earl of HADDINGTON drew attention to the report of the Scottish Church Commissioners, who stated that, in Edinburgh alone, church room was wanted for 90,000 people. The people of Scotland had subscribed < £ "150,000, had been in. dulged with hope of government assistance from time to time, and now they were told that the sub- ject was under consideration. The country would build churches if ministers would immediately endow them, so as to allow the means of instruction loihe poor. The people of Scotlallcl, attached as they were to the church, were looking with the utmost anxiety. He begged to know whether the Noble Viscount was prepared to apply an efficient remedy to the evil complained of by the people of Scotland; and secondly, what course government meant to take iu consequence of the report of the Commissioners of religious instruction ? Lord MELBOURNE said, that if the Govern- ment of 1835 had remained in office, and persisted in demanding a grant of money, the Commons would have refused, ujileas something more was known (by Commission) of the actual slate of the church of Scot. land. They would have been compelled to do as he had done of his own motion enquire. He did not say that the King's speech in 1835 was dictated by a desire to outbid the present ministers in the demand for popularity nor did he accuse the Noble Lord of bringing forward this question for the mere sake of influencing the general assembly now about to meet (hear'.) ou the very eve of a popular election in Scotland (Glasgow), when that influence might be exerted in favour of the Noble Lord's friends. (Hear, hear.) He did not believe that this particu- lar time was chosen to bring oil the discussion from these or other political motives—it was a mere co- incidence (hear, hear, hear.) like that which had proceeded from the Noble Lord aud his party in the name of "Friends of the Church." (Hear, hear.) The quesiiou lay deep beneath the surface of par'y politics—it was important iu reference to religion and morality in Scotland aud the whole empire; for if there was destitution in Edinburgh, so was there, on the showing of the Bi-hop of London, equal want of the meaus of religious instruction in this metropolis. It was true that a stiuggle was goiu0* on between the friends of an Established Church and the advocklte", of the voluntary system; but all Dissenters were not voluntaries. He (Lord Melbourne) was decidedly in favour of a Church Establishment. But iu adding power and wealth to an establishment, great care should be taken that their measures did not defeat their own ends, and weaken where they meant to confirm. He had not read the report s'> carelulh as the Noble Lord but hejoined with him in regretting ihe want of religious instruction in Edinburgh but it must not be forgot that there were 20,000 sittings unlet, and they were not kept tnipty by 'he IJlg-h rent demanded for them. Now this showed consideration Was necessary. Ministers were as anxious as the N.Jb:e Lord to ex- lend tho influence of the Church of Scotland; but they wished to see if no ottier means could be found before they ap|>lied ,,v»'gar expedieut,'—a Parliamentary grant. I he Episcopal Tithes iu Scotland, amounting 7, were iu the hands of Ihe crown; there were also the unappropriated tithes in Scotland. (Hear, hear.) Now these funds, raised by tax oil the heritors, would nearly meet all the exigencies of the case. Undoubtedly their minis- ters would not make any on the partial report before them, because it would be a precedent which must, if introduced, be extended too far. The Earl of ABERDEEN said it was useless to wait for a recommendation from the Committee, for it was so constituted its to render any agreement impossible. (Hear, hear.) It had lasted two years, and cost £ 20,000—(<nes of iltar> hear")-and as Government promised to act on its detached reports, and had not, faith was broken wiih the public. The crown tithes could never be so well employed as in the support of the Churcti, but ihey mi^bt have been thoroughly uuderstood in the first week, and yet no report on the subject had appeared in two years; as to Ilhe teines the Noble Viscount evidently spoke with- out knowledge of his subject. As to precedent, they had been for years voting £ 100,000 to the Church of England, aud, in short, it further delay occurred, the Scottish people would see that the commission was appointed merely to postpone the momentary difficulty. „_nrtt7 The Earl of ROSEBF1RRT was for complete aud full information before any m wy was appropriated. The Earl of H ADDING I ON in reply, said his question had reference to the general assembly; it was necessary that that very important body should become acquainted with the intentions of Govern- ment. The Municipal Corporations Bill went through a Committee, and the House adjourned. ".###1. HOUSE OF COIINIONS-Fitir)A.Y. Lord Melgund (son of Earl Minto) took his seat for Hyde, vice Mr Marjoribanks; and Mr Broadwood his for Bridgewater, vice Mr Leader. The Petition of Mr Yeats against Stevenson's Brighton Line of Railroad was referred to the Dept- ford Committee by 43 to 22: majoiity, 2], On the motion for the third reading of the Glasgow and Air Railway Bill, Dr. BOWRING moved to omit the clause which went to stop the mails, &c > °" Lord J. Stuart, Mr Wukley, Mr Roebuck, Mr Labouchere, Colonel Thompson, Lord J. and the Attorney-General opposed the clause, which was defended by Mr DUlllop, Sii- A Azuew, Mr Finch, Sir R. Inglis, Mr J. Maxwell, and Mr Chisbolm.. The most remarkable speech was that of Mr Roebuck, who said this question had been made the ground of religious discussion, and to its oppo- nents was imputed a want of liistian piety. Now he was resolved to push this question to a point, and he quoted Archbishop Whatl^y, who quoted from Archbishop Cranmer to this effect— Knw ye not, ••ood children, that the Jews ui the Old Testament were commanded to keep the S .bhath day, and they observed every seventh day, called the Sabbath, or Saturday; but we Christian men the New TYsta- ment are not bound by such comma,idments of Moses's law concerning differellces uf limes, days, and weeks, but have liberty and freedom to use other days for our Sabbath days, thereon to hear the word of God and keep holy rest, and therefore the Christian liberty may be kept and maintained. We now keep no more the Sabbath on Saturday, as the Jews do, but we observe the Sunday, and certain other days, as the magistrates do pidge convenient, whom in" this thing we must obey.' Now this was answer enough to the Church of England objectors; and to those of other creeds, who still objected, he would read, with all due reverence, and he hoped that reverence would extend to others, a portion of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, chap. xiv One uiau csteeiiKth one day above another, another esteemeth every day alike. L"t every man be folly persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day regardeth it unto tht. Lord, and he that regaideth no, the dav to the Lor(i lie dolli not re,,ard it." And again— L"t us, therefore, not judge one another ■ ny more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling-block, or an occasion to fall, in his brother s way." Tti,,it %va- I)is (I,lr Roebtick's) rule. There was nothing in the Bill to command travelling on a Sunday, and those who thought it .sinful, were they not able to show their peculiar faith by staying at hottic on Suuda) ? Why did they not begin nearer home, ifsucli enac'itit,fits were to be cvried ? Why not stop the Greenwich Railway or the Greefl wich steamers ? They dare not. It was well kno.-rn that to do so was absolutely beyond the power of Parliament. Let those who were conscientious themselves abstain from forcing the consciences o( others. The House divided, and there appcared- For the clause, 83; against it, 11a: majority, 32, The Bill was then read a third time and passed. Lord J. RUSSELL, in reply to Mr Heathcote, said that ameasureto reduce the expense of carrying out the English Tithe Bill would be introduced in a short time. Sir J. HOBHOUSE, in reply to Mr Hume, said there would be an immediate issue of the Burmese pr ze money. Mr ROEBUCK again calied attention to the state of the public business. Lord J RUSSELL said that if the same courtesy were shown as had been usual when he sat on the opposition benches, much of the inconvenience would be obviated. Mr ROBINSON said there had never been any want of courtesy on the opposition side of the House towards Government. lie hoped the eupe Hence of this and the fast session would induce every other Member ofthe House to find out some measure by- which they might more satistactotily get through the business of the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the adjournment of debates was the chief cause of the evil. iNl-- O'CONNEI,I, said late hours were the evil Let two days be allowed to Committees, and let the House meet at ten o'clock oil the other days of the week, and all would be well. Mr AGLIONBY said he would next week propose t better plan for drawing Bills, &c., and the subject dropped. CRIMINAL LAW. The Forgery Bill went through Committee, and was ordered for further consideration on Monday. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved the House into Committee on the Bill to abolish the punishment of death in certain cases. Mr EWART moved that it be an instruction. to the Committee to abolish capital punishments in all cases except murder. The Hon. Member sup- ported his motion by the example and effects of similar lenity in France, and Prussia, and by show- ing that in England, since 1833, the decrease iu crime was 12 per cent. In Russia capital punish- ments were diminished; in Tuscany they had been sofor fifty years; in Austria, and in the United States also. Under Metcalfe and Mackintosh, as punish- ments had diminished in India, it was remarked by the latter that the morality of the people had im- proved. He concluded with his motion, which was seconded by Mr Hume. Lord J RUSSELL said, that by his Bit!, out of 31 capital offences, the punishment of death would he abol ished in 21. If he went further-if such men as the convicts lately executed in London and in Gloucester were suffered to escape capital punish- ment, a reaction would be effected in the public mind which all the friends of mercy would regret. (Hear) It was by the improvement of public feel- ing that he would have legislation guided. In England last year the executions were seventeen, in France fifteen. The question, he thought, should be left more to written discussion and the influence of public opinion. The horrible feelings exhibited by the people at the executions of Green- acre and Bartlett were owing to the deficiency of moral and religious education. Mr F. BUXTON said, that at one time the abolition of capital punishment for forgery was considered the dream of an enihusi"st. How many died in those days of rigour, and yet tbe crime in- creased The opposite scheme had been tried— punishment was mitigated, and the consequence "as that in 19 out of 20 cases forgery had ceased. He saw no reason why there should be death ex- cept for murder. Mr BROI HERTON thought that the divine law set aside any human law of blood shedding. Mr ROEBUCK was of the same opinion, and hoped aftettbe Noble Lord's speech that all means wc;ld he taken to educate the people. Dr. BOWRING also voted the total abolition. Mr O'CONNELL thought they had no right to take that existence which they could not restore, and to send a human being before his God at any period which man might fix upon,but which nature had not determined. (Hear.) They could punish sufficiently when they punished for the purposes of prevention, and not to the extent of taking away life. If example or education were the object, what was the last execution calculated to effect; Was there one being present at the last execution in London that was not made worse by the sight? (Hear.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that by the Bills before the House three fourths of the present capital punishments were abolished, and these Bills he IYould support, but he believed that there would be a general exclamation against any law that would propose an entire abolition of the punishment of death. (Cries of No, no!) He was quite sure of this. Mr YVyse and Mr Plumptree would vote for total abolition, as did Mr Robinson, Dr Lushington, Colonel Thompson, and Mr \V. S O'Brien. The Solicitor-General and Sir R. (nglls were fearful that the amendment if agreed to might ulti- mately endanger the Bill. Mr EWART replied, and the House divided- For the motion I'or the Amendment Majority The House went into Committee; and on the first clause, Mr GOULBURN objected to the clause respect- ing the capital punishment for the crime of setting lire to dockyards and arsenals in time of war. (Hear.) The clauses were agreed to. Mr LENNARD objecied to the power given to the Magistracy. Mr HUME thought a system of secondary punish- ment should precede thes* alterations. Lord J. RUSSELL said, prison discipline was improved and improving, These Bills would, he hoped, reduce to five or six years the awlul spec- tacle of capital punishments.. MrGUOTli did not see why the ptinishment, even if retained, should be made public. Sir R. PEEL said private execution would be still worse; the great thing to effect was, that no one, of whatever rank, should be permitted to visit and make a hero of a prisoner, under the circum stances of the last unhappy convict. He hoped the perfecting of tho police system, as well ir. the rural as in the urban districts, would produce the best possible effect. Lord J. RUSSELL agreed with the Hon. Baronet, and had taken measures for improvement in all the cases he had put. [Vir GOULBUIIN,on the preamble, put his motion on the subject of dock-yard fires to a division, which gave- For it 40 Against it 102 11 Majority -62 The Offences against the Person Bill then went through a Committee, and the House ajourned.

AMERICAN SOCIETY. The following h Miss Martineau's account of the state of American society. It must not be forgotten that (he ltdy is a Democrat O,le of my hosts, a man of great good-nature, as he shows in the treatment of his and in his family relations, had been stabbed in the back in the reading-room of the town, two years before, and no j prosecution was instituted. Another of my hosts carried loaded pistols for a fortnight, just before I arrived, knowing that he was lain in wait for by persons against whose illegal practices he had given information to a magistrate, whose carriage wa* therefore broken in pieces, and thrown into the river. A lavyer with whom we were in company one after- noon, was sent for to take the deposition of a dying man who had been silting with his family in the shade, when he received three balls in the back from three men who took aim at him from behind trees. The tales of jail-breaking and rescue were numberless; and a lady of Montgomery told me th.it site had lived there four yens, during which time, no day, she believed, had passed without some one's life having been attempted, either by duelliug or assassillatiulI." And we may instance another abomination, which Miss Marlineau calls by the geiitle name of false honour;" but to which our readers will apply a very diiferent epithet.' She is speaking of a fellow pas- senger on board a steam boat. He belonged to one of the first families in Ken- tucky, and married well, and settled at Natchez, N] ississipi. His wife was slandered by a resident ot Natchez, who, refusing to retreat, was shot dead by the husband, who fled to Texas. The wife gathered their property together, followed her hus- band, was shipwrecked below New Orleans, and lost all. Her wants were supplied by kind persons at New Orleans, and she was forwarded by them to her destination, but soon died of cholera. Her husband went up into Missouri, and settled in a remote part of it to practice law but with a suspicion that he was dogged by the relations of the man he had shot. One day he met a man muffled in a cloak, who engaged with him, shot him in both sides, and stabbed him with an Arkansas knife. The victim held off the kuile fi Oil' wounding him mortally till help came. and hist foe nen. I ne wounded man slow ly recovered but his right aim was so disabled as to compel him to postpone his schemes of revenge. He ascertained that his enemy had fled to Texas; followed him there; at leng-th met him, one fine evening, riding, with his double-barrelled gun before him. They knew each other iusu,,t|y; ,|le double-barrelled gun was raised and pointed but before it could be fired, its owtiei fe fiom the saddle, shot dead like the brother he had sought to avenge. The iiitirdei-ei- was flying up the river Ollee more when I saw him, not doubling tIat he should again be dogged by some relation of the brothers he had shot. Some of the gentlemen ou board believed that if he surren- dered him-ctf at Natchez, he would be let off with little or no puih",ent, aud allowed to settle again in civilized society; but he was afraid of the gallows, and intended to join some fur company III the north- west, ifhe coiild; and if he failed in this, to inaks hirnslf a ehief of a tribe of wandering ltidian-I."

PHYSIOGNOMY OF ;,ti rrp.-EXTRAOIID INA RY FACT A trifling wager was decided a short time since between Mr ltichards Mathews, of Huxhatn, and Mr VVippell of Reeway, in the parish ofRewe! which proves the accuracy of memory and power of observation possessed by the latter gentleman in the physiognomy of sheep. Mr VVippell engaged to take sixty ewes promiscuously out his flock, and to have their lambs penned off from them at a dis (atice otit of sight, ami to go to the ewes, fix upon them and proceed to the lambs and select the lamb belonging to the ewe pointed out, and vice versa to take a larnb, and go and point out the dam amongst the ewes. The ewes and lambs were accordingly penned off separately. An ewe was taken out of the pen by the umpires, and Mr \V. directly went and selected the lamb belonging to her, the judges were immediately satisfied by the maternal tokens of recognition of the fact a lamb was then brought out, and he went immediately and se ected the ewe that owned it. Another ewe was aken out, and Mr VVippell said," that ewe has two ambs, and he proceeded till 49 out of 00 had been tried, the spectators declaring themselves sur- prised, and perfectly satisfied with the trial. One instance was very extraordinary. A lamb was selected, and he said to the boy, "go and fetch an ewe with a tuft of wool growing out of her neck." It was fetched and proved to be the dam. This wonderful instance of memory and observation was proved before Mr May, Mr J. Player, Mr Mathews, and Mr Moxhay Mr VVippell offered to bet tloo. to XI. that lie could at any time re- peat it.— Western Luminary. DESTRUCTION OF THE CANDIDUS, BY LIGHTNING. -Intelligence has been received of the destruction of tit" above new vessel, while on her voyage from New Orleans to Liverpool. The particulars of this disastrous occurrence ureas follow :-The Candidus, Captain Webb, a new ship of 39ti tons, on her first voyag'e, bound to Liverpool, with a cargo of 1365 bales of cotton, sailed from New Orleans on the 20th of March, and Belize on the 22d. On the night ot the 31st of that mouth, while scudding under bare poles, in a severe gale, in lat. 32, and long. 78, was struck by ligInning, which shivered the main top gallant mast and mainrJlast and descended to the hold. The lat-board pump was also split, and the mast partners turn up. Smoke then issued from every crevice, and all hands were immediately em- ployed in pouring water into the hold, but all efforts were found ineffectual to quench the flames, which were making fast progress towards the deck. Iu this situation, early in the morning of the 1st April, the barque Maria Theresa, from Boston, from the same port as the Candidus, hove in sight but the gale continuing with fearful violence, she lay under the lee of the ship for several hours, anticipating that the weather would moderate, so that a boat could leave to rescue thecrew from their perilous situation. The flames, however, increased rapidly, and the poor fellows on board the Candidus were compelled to have recourse to their boats to slve ttieixiselvet;, and by keeping before the sea, ultimately got on board the Theresa. Scarcely had the last boat left the vessel, when the masts fell alongsid, and the hull was completely enveloped in flames. The barque, after having paid all the necessary attention to the crew of the vessel, left, aud on her departure the flames were rushing out of the sides of the hull, and the deck had fallen iu. The Caudirllls is, it it; aflirmed, insured to the amount of 35,000 dollars, 23,000 of which are on the vessel, and 12,000 on th. freight. The whole of the cargo was either damaged or burnt.
