tieaStn, had cineJ early, am; nau notmug whatever on his mind to keep him awake. Still he found ail his aueinptsto sleep impossible, and, from eleven till two in the morning, had never closed an eye. At length, weary of this struggle, and as the twilight was breaking, it was summer. h determined to try what would be the effect of a walk in the park. There he saw nothing but the sleeping sentinels. Hut in his walk, happening to pass the Home Otnce sevaral t:me, lie thought of letting himself in with his key, tho igh without any particular ebject. The book of entries of the day before still lay on tho table, and through sheT listlessiiess he opened it.

Sir Evan sent to the Tost Office for the truest and fleetest express. The rt pmve riched York next morning, just at tin moment ichen the unhaji y men icerc ascending the cart.' With birEvan Neapean, w e fully agree

in regarding this little narrative as one oi the most extraoadinary that we ever heard. Wt shall go further even than he acknowledged, and say, that, to us, it bears sh iking evidence of what we should conceive a superior interposition. It is true that no rhostsnnears, nor is any prompting voice

audible; yet the result depended on so long a succession of what seemed chances, and each of these chances was so improbable and so necessary, that we are cnnicompelled, to regard the whole matter of en influence not to be attributed to man. If tha first link of the chain might pasfor a common occurrence, as undoubtedly fits ef wakefulness will happen with

out any discoverable ground m tiie state of aither body or mind still what could, be less in the common course of things that a man thus waking should take it into his head to get up and take a walk in the park in the morning? If he had like others contented himself with taking a walk around his chamber, or enjoying the cool at his window, not one of the succeeding events could have occurred, and the men must have been sacrificed. Or if, w hen h took this walk, he had been content ve'rth getting rid of the feverishness of thf. night, and returned to his bed, tho chain

would have been broken, for what w as

The Duke of York v.'ild to the society his gold plate, out cf a large goblet ot j w hieh they drink health to their invited! guests. One o! their fesiivals originated; m an interesting event which happened; near four bundled years ago. Aquarrl rose between the Merchant Tailors and .Skinners, a: to the precedence which their livrried men should take in all processions in the town of London. The quarrel was continued for many years, occasioned frequent coliisons and bloodshed, and finally referred to tlie Lord Ma v or for . .'iiration. He was not unlike Don Quixote's governor in his temper and judgement, and decided that their claims were so nearly equal that neither

fifteen miles unconscious cf any should have precedence, but they should

alternate in processions, dine together and be friends. They did so, and the P.54ih aniversary dinner in honor cf tlie reconcilia'ion was celebrated at Merchant Tailors' Hall, in Thread Needle St. on the '20th Ju'.v last.
