The affair came to his knowledge; and, after learning the particulars, he determined to be himself the When he proceeded to give judgment, he first annulled the sentence pronounced by the Clergy; and, aiter asking the young man what profession he to make shoes for a year was of, "I forbid you," said he, A Canon of the cathedral of Seville, affected in his dress, and particularly in his shoes, could not find a workman to his likeing. An unfortunate shoemaker, to whom he applied, after quitting many others having brought him a pair of shoes not made to please his taste, the Canon became furi-judge of the young shoemaker. ous, and seazing one of the tools of the shoemaker, gave him with it so many blows upon the head, as laid him dead on the floor. the unhappy man left a widow, four daughters, and a son fourteen years of age, the eldest of the indigent family. They made their complaints to the Chapter: the Canon was prosecuted, and condemned not to appear in the choir for a year.

A few days past, capt P-; a worthy young man in the prime of life. but a period to his existence. The cause is said to be, that having long been witness to the intemperance of his father, and having in vain attempted to keep it secret, he closed his own eyes, that he might never more feel and see his family mortified, by the most disgraceful scene a child can witness -the drunkenness of a parent. A boy from an American vessel was received into the public infermity here a few days ago under very peculiar circumstances..While yet on the American coast, the legs of this unfortunate youth which had been very badly frost bitte exhibited such symptoms of gangrene, that nothing but immediate amputation seemed to have any chance of saving his life. In this desperate extremity, with no surgeon at hand an Italian sailor offered his services, which after some deleberation were accepted, He cut off the poor boys legs with a common case knife and sawed the bones with a large carpenters saw and bound up the stump in the best manner he could.

SONG. AIR" The Wild Geese." FROM THE IRISH. In the year 1691, the ever-memorable Seige of Limerick, was terminated by its surrender to the army of William III. Though the terms of the Capitu lation were the most favourable that a conquered people could effect the greater number resolved to take advan tage of au article in the treaty. Which permited their emigination; and, ac cordingly. the flower of the Irish garrison embarked for foreign countries. In getting under way their vessels were greeted from the shore by a crowd of females, who joined in a song of grat. itude for the bravery f their defenders, and grief for their own and their country's loss in their departure. Behold the crowded barks that bear The pride of Erin from her shore; Hark! their voice salutes the ear, Farewell-farewell for ever more, Farewell! A fresher breeze impels each sail, But vain expression's plaintive powers Our weeping country's woes to tell; Yet, not with yonder humbled, towers Her pride, her strength, her glory fell; Farewell! No, then her glory owned no stain, Her pride, her strength, then shone as high; They bowed-a conquest to obtain, And changed defeat to victory; Farewell! But now is faded all her fame, The sons she gloried in are gone; Gone from their native vallies far, No combat on some foreign plain, Lead Gaul's thick squadron to the war, Give valour to the hosts of Spain; Farewell! Yes, now she falls; no guardian hand Her prostrate from the earth to raise And, Erin, lost, deserted land, Has bade the Brightest of her days Farewell: BY M'CREERY. Tune-Castle of Mayo.
