To add insult t.o injury, tho seducov asked the husband ,to hush tho matter up by money payment. This was indignantly refused, and tho matter booaino public. Tho husband's causo was . taken up with an enthusiasm tho Port has never-shown any signs of possessing before; Not content with giving vent totboir exocration of the deceiver in ordinary ways, tho citizens got up a monster procession headed Dy the Garrison Band playing the Doad March tn Saul. On a trolly, drawn by two horses was a well executed effigy of tho gay sinner, and behind him a ligure representing Auld Clootie with the orthodox horns, hoofs, tail, and pitchfork. Also on tho trolly wore a judge, two lawyers, and twelve jurymen. Between 8.80 and 5, this party drow up before the offender's house, and, having vented their footings in groans and hoots went on their way to tho reclaimed land, where he was duly tried (in effigy), condemned, hung, and burned to tho tune of a Salvation Army< hymn.

Great Britain and Ireland, The Brighton Herald, in a recent issue, reprints from the Ohlemsford Chronicle of February 28, 1800, the report of a Parliamentary debate .on the introduction of tho articles of union between Great Britain and Ireland—« prnpos, of course of the discussion which the question of the union is now undergoing.

Mr Corry responded, reiterating his charge, with additions; whereupbn Mr Gratton, almost in express terms, called Mr Corry a ruffian, a jackanapes, and a coward, and said that if Mr Corry uttored what ho did outside tho walls of tho House, his answer would havo beon a blow." As soon as Mr Grattan had ended his speech, tho Chancellor of tho Exchequer retired, and sent in a messago by Genoral Craddock to Mr Grattan, demanding immediate satisfaction.

Eeddisb, in tho presence of several hundred spectators took to the water exactly at 12.55. During tho journey Messrs H. Strode H, Ilumphery and George Cooper swam alongside of the Professor at intervals, but so well was Reddish progressing that ho easily distanced them, North Woolwich Pier was passed at one forty-five, Erith at three, and the Floating Hospitals off Purfleet wore reached at about four o'clock, It was now merely a matter of the tido serving the swimmer sufficiently to enable him to accomplish the feat, but most unfortunately the stream began to got very slack, and at 4.40 when opposito the anchored training ships Arethusa and Chichester, Reddish showed signs of fatigue, and although well coached by his brother swimmers in the water, and encouraged by those on board, he eventually gave up the task when a little over a mile short of the distance, his time in the w iter then being 4h. 44m, 48£s.
