r " st. is i.rhrrlfpr fnr October. Extract from "An old man's records," containing a most .spirited tescription of the great London riot of 17S9: "We have been much alarmed of late, by the mobs and distui hauccs which have prevailed in some quarters of our Republic but we have never yet experienced any thing half so terrific as the mobs of Europe. The Bristol Riots, and the Etennemeans de Lyons, a e fresh in all minds; while some of the more remae Riots in the British capital stand out like pynmids from the general level ol ordinary rnadnes3 and crime.

Incensed a this imputation, Lord Gordon vowed that he would : i....t;..-m,.t ..f !t error, bv bringing up the petitioners in propria persona before iheir re presentatives and servant. . He kept his vow, end at 10 o'clock on the next Friday morning several thousands oi his petitionsigners assembled in t. ucerge s tho noble Lord met them, as a Roman General would have done his legions. He directed tnem to proceed to the Parliament House, over the VVestminister, Blackfrhrs, and Lordon Bridges. Before this great multitude had reached their place of destination, it had doubled its numbers, and become a mob. Lords, bishops, and archbishops, were made objects of population fury; cries of'o Pooery!1' ran" through.thc dusky streets; carriages were upset, and their occupants obliged to escape from the mclce, and glide iu disguise from roof to roof, lo which they ascended from dwellings where they sought refuge. ... i, This day was but the beginning ol tumult. Like an half cured ulcer on the human form, the riots, when suppressed in one quarter of the town, would break forth in others. Saturday ar.d Sunday witnessed the most dregful excesses. Indeed tho mob was quite uncontrollable, end yet the horrid Saturnalia had but just began. The rioters convened in immense force on Monday, the anniversary of the King's birth day. Efforts had been madr. but ineffectually, to supprees them; large rewards were oliered for the ring-leaders among the lawless band, who had burned several Catholic chapel, in different sections of the capital. A d. but the llame was spreading, and tho great body oi miscreant uuiwu 1 1: w uucum.1" ' V. I V- W 7 A ,1 on. nia r,f TiiP!.hv were dreadful. Ihe mob made a desperate attack upon Newgate prison mounting in swarms over ine wans, aim ing the cells, (where a few riotous principals were confined) with pick axes and hammers. The chapel and the house of the keeper were soon destroyed. This occurred between six and nine o'clock in. the evening. The loud alarms, aud rising flames, drew me to the spot. The fire had iheicommunicaled to the wards and cells, from which thoufiiightcd prisoners rushed into the yard, where many of them were supplied with liquor by tho mobocracv, and went yelling and shouting around the enlarged boundaries of exercise, with Iho fury of uncaged tigers. Many who were under sentence of death, were among the liberated prisoners. The new prison at Cleicenwell was also stormed and broken open , and all the inmates set free. Many of them, grateful for their sudden and unexpected discharge, entered heartily into the case of those who had played for them the part of liberators. They next destroyed the mansions and furniture Sir John Fielding and lord Manfidd; pictures, libraries, wines, and splendid lurniture, might have been seen strewed iu all directions, and clutched by the crowd. . .

Upwards of 20,000 sterling has been raised in England to educate the negroes of tho West Indian Islands. Every thing for their souls nothing for iheir bodies. Instead of being laught the mechanic arts, tho use of tho plough and the harrow, the plane and adze, the awl or needle, the anvil and lap stone 'instead of practical industry, temperance and integrity, they are tought to read their bibla and sing hymns.

But the movers in ihis grand religious scheme feel strong in the faith they are suro that God is with them. They raiso 100,000 to teach the negroes religion, while thousands of their poor in Ireland are perishing with hunger, actually dying with want they must die in a land of plenty, bocause it is deemed more charitable to look after the souls of the blacks than to feed ihe hungry and clothe ihe naked whites of their own soil, and this is called religion. It id delusion it is fanaticism. The great atonement for sin on earth, is to relievo the wants and distresses of our fellow beings. The above, from the N. Y.

Theological Semina ry, in one of his discourses, illustrated the sophistry of the abolitionists by tho following anecdote: "The eccentric Lorenzo Dow, lately deceased, had by building a mill-dam across a stream, flooded his neighbors' ground above tho dam. They commenced a suit against him, and obtained a vordict in their iuvor, on the principle that he was invading their rights. This verdict convinced Lorenzo, that every moment he Kept the water in its present position, he was guilty of a legal sin; and on Iho round that every man should quit sinning immediately, he at once became a convert to the doctrine of immediate abolition. He accordingly went to . . .. i . i I t I 11 3 work J.U i-i C? V and immediately abolished (or demolished) his mill dam. The immediate consequence ot letting off so largea stream of water at once, was delugTngthc country below, and a great destruction of property. And Lorenzo was taught, by a second prosecution and assessment of damages, that his immediate abolition had led him into a greater sin than ho was guilty of before." A XEW WAV OF APPLAUDING A PUBLIC 6 PEAK KitAt a late meeting one of ihe orators addressed the assembly as follows: "My dear brethren, it has been the usual custom for an audienco to testify their approbation of the speaker by clapping of hands; but I beg lo recommend to your adoption a new method of clapping, less tumultuous, and much more pleasing; when you leavo this placo clan vour hands into your pockets, and clap the money into me piaco 10 receive n, uhu mo "viu oivc it his blessing." This address had tho desirecd elftct. , Liverpool Mercury CitUEL Dcserton. About the middle of last July, a man and woman, of ordinary appearance, mounted on good horses stopped at the house of Mrs. Todd, in Green township, in this county, and left in the care of thai lady a male infant apparently about six months old, with the excuses lhat they were going a few miles farther, and would return in an hour or two and take the child, which they said was' too sick to proceed with them. From lhat hour until the present, no tidings of these inhuman aim uniecnng wreicuea iau itm.m.u v. having charge of the child. It is believed by the neighbors, from the appearance of ihe strangers, and from other circumstances, lhat the mother of iho infant had deserted her homo with a paramour, and that finding tho child troublesqmc, they had abandoned it to the care of the public. A description of iho man and woman may lead lo their detection, or nny cause the friends of tho child to identify it. The man was apparantly between twenty and twenty-five years of sgc, short thick pei3onf and dark complexion. The woman older in appearance, largo in person, and fair or freckled face with red hair.
