Curious Post-Office . —I tnew an eld woman -who spent her life in walking from Berlin to Posen , and from Posen to Berlin , about one ansdred and for ty miles . She was called the Living Gazette . Have yon ever heard of . the celebrated . post-office of the whalers at Essex Bay , on one of the GallapagosIslands in the . Pacific ? There is a care , irell secured against the weather , in which , whalers deposit letters sometimes for the information of other vhalers , sometimes to be taken home when a retnmjug fellow-hunter on the deep passes by . Iiadheard of it by whaling captains , and fonnd it afterwards
mentioned in Lieut- PanWing ' s Journal of a ennse in tbe United States schooner , Dolp hin , among the glands of the Pacific ( Kew Tort , 1831 , ) a little Tmassiuning book , foil of interesting items . Lit-ut . Paulding foand a letter there safely deposited . This insulated fact shows -strikingly the " existence of a common bond and trsst among . civilized nations ; so does a letter deposited in a post-office of the farthest west of the Mis 3 onri , which safely arrives in a Tillage of the most eastern part of ( JennaBy , if it only has the words " TIa New York and Havre" on its direction . In the middle / ages there was a man who carried letters from Pomerania to the students of that conntry , in the University of Paris | and ,
when I lived at Ilomef the M Conner" was yet existing , who regularly carried letters from Rome to Spain . And yet-we are told the world goes back ; 01 is it maintained , that improvements of this kind Belong to the industry of nations only , which i sJJowed on all hand ? to improve Tapidljywhiie morally we degenerate ? I would deny this ; there is a morality in an intercourse of this kind l > etween nations ; it requires a universal acknowledgment of ctnaia broad principles of honour and morality . It will yet happen , within the next hundred years , " jiit letters are directed from London to Canton ( perhaps to Pekin ) via New York and the city which trill rise at the mouth of the Columbia river . — Stranger in America ,
Protestant Peers . —Among the Protestant Peers there is not one avowed LVi-ssenter : the great hali of the unfilled and -afBWct aristocracy are affiliated to the Established Church . The theatres and racecourses own few besides E piscopalian *; Crockford ' s is orthodox ; and Almack ' s Athanasian . IntJred it is indispensable that the Church should include all those wno do not avowedl y dissent from lint are simply ignorant of , is doctrines ; all the men women and children in the rural districts , who ne v » r see the Bible , all the mvriads of the
metropolis , whose conduct manifests that they contemn it . Otherwise how could it prove that immense majority claimed for it in the last session of Parliament by a Noble Lord who averred that the Pratar tant Dissenters did not exceed one million ? It jni g bt be offensive further to specify these conscientious adherents , bat it is no violation of charity or experience to predicate that among the lower classes of the people designated as churchmen a great prop ortion cannot dijtrnguish 3 To ? es from Judas Isar iot . —Dihmmas of a Churchman , by C .

Rocking Chairs in America . -In these jnall itms the disagreeable practice of rocking in the chair is seen in its excess . L . tbe inn-parlour there ire three or four rocking chairs , in which sit ladies , sfco are vibrating in -different directions and at "tanons velocities , so as to try the head of a stranger almost as severely as the tobacco che wer his stomach . How this lazy and ungraceful indulgence ever be-Bme general I cannot imagine ; but the nation teems so wedded to it that I see little chance of its teag forsaken . "When American ladies come to Brain Europe they sometimes send home for
arock-Bg chair—a common ¦ wedding present is a roekine tiair . A beloved pastor Las every room in his hocse femished with a rocking chair by his grateful and derated people . It is well that the gentlemen can fee sasned to sit still , or the world might be treated lith the spectacle of the jmblime American : « enate in isew position ; its fity-two senators see-= awing in M deliberation , like tbe wise birds of a rookery in ikeeze . If sceh a thing should ever happen it tS be rime for them vo leave off laughing at the Surer worship . —Miss Martineau ' s Western " InttU .
Peasl Fishing on the Coast of Cevlox . —Dining the calms of . November the banks are examined by experienced officers , and samples of the sjfteis are forwarded to tie seat of government . Tjf as result of the examination prove ffcyonrable , then Je fishery is announced by an advertisement , stattt | wuen and on what bank it is to take place , how l&g it i 3 to continue , and how many boats will be a&med to engage in it . These boa ' ts are of very n 3 e construction , generally from eight to fifteen fans burden , and without deck * . They leave the &we at midnight , favoured by the land winds , and J S 2 ehor near the-government guard-vessel and the
feiing bank . A fitd * after dawn in the morning , a « gnal is given for the diving to begin , and a gun ^ Sred at noon , on which it cease 3 . The following * 5 enption of the mode of proceeding was procured irtrar author on the spot : —" The erew of a . boat Blasts of a Tindal or master , ten divers , and thirfe ? a other men , who manage the boat and attend h * divers when fishing .

^ ' * ' ^^^^^^ ^^ ^^^^^ S ^^^^^^^^^^^^ P ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Th e Wobx op the Higheb ' Obdebs .- — - Oar West India Islands exnibit a specimen of ruin , devastation , oppression misery , wictedness , and horrible profligacy , the work of " our Hig her Orders , scarcely to "be paralelled in a modern history of the world . A very great proportion of the whole of them , some more and some less , are the property of our aristocracy—men who- have no more natural right to snch possessions than they have to possessions in the moon . Nay , I fear not ' so much as they have to possessions in the only place that can by possibility be more miserably wicked than they are . These islands , formed as it appears by their Creator to be in many respects the paradise of the world ,
bave teen , by the means of man , converted into the earthly hells of the world . Mammon led the Europeans there . They fonnd the ^ people whom God had been pleased toplaeetherein simple-hearted , unsuspecting , confiding , hospitable , generous , and happy . They treacherously deceived them ; . they robbed them ; they , enslaved them $ and they mardared them . The patrimony of the extirpated native inhabitants was apportioned ont amongst these murderera . Much , very much hath fallen into the hands and the possession of onr Aristocracy . Mammon , by treachery and the sword , cleared the islands of their rightful owner ? . But Mammon does not like to work . He then by all the wiles of the Devil , and by all the hitherto " known earthly
inflictions and sufferings , re-peopled them with other beings , kidnapped in distant regions , and . brought those through sufferings in which two-thirds of them perished . There they toiled , there they were tortured , there they miserably perished . The very Devils in Hell , I should suppose , would pity them , while the Angels in Heaven would weep over them . -Fj cm ihe Peers , the People , and the Foor , ly a Retired Tradesman .

Dr . Bow ring . —On Wednesday evening , a banquet , in honour of the above distinguished individual y took place in the Waterloo Hotel , when nearly a hundred gentlemen assembled on the occasion . Execution of George Maskelyne alias Maslen , at Devizes . —Our readei a are doubtless aware of the circumstances of this case . The wretched man who this day underwent the extreme sentence of the law in front of tbe new prison , Devizes , was tried at the last Wilts Summer Assizes , held at Devizes , by Mr . Justice Parke , for havinp , In the month of January las ' , shot at Mr . Bryan Rumbnld , his employer , at Lyneham , on his master ' s return from market . At an earl y hour this this morning Devizes was crowded to excess , and the numbers which lined the streets would have led
the strangers to believe that some great merriment was the cause . However , twelve o ' clock , the fatal hour at length arrived , and shortly after , the wretched man , by the assistance of the officers ( for he appeared entirely unnerved ) , was placed under the deadly noose . At this time not less than 23 , 000 persons were present , some hundreds of whom were from the neighbourhood where the act wan committed . The executioner having adjusted the rope , and the Lord ' s Prayer having been said , the culprit hastily exclaimed , " Oh dear ! when shall I drop the handerchief ; " and immediatel y the bolt was drawn , and he was launched into eternity . Maskelyne was born at Woooborough in the year 1804 , and of poor parents . His premature death seems to have been the effect of a licentious eouise of HfV ; but we are happy to add that he was an unmarried man , and we may add , that he was a very ignorant man .
Apprehension of a Suspected Murderer at Devonport . —A soldier of the 15 th Regiment , stationed ia Granby-square Barracks , Devonport , was apprehended on Tuesday last , on a charge of murder . It may be in the recollection of some of our readers , that about ten or twelve months since an old pensioner was attacked by three men near Hertford , on the day when he received his pension , and robbed by them . One of the three men after the robbery , beat tbe pensiouer on the head , so as to cause "h is death , and immediately after he left the town , and was not subsequently beard of . The two others were tried , condemned , and executed for the robbery . Nothing was heard of
the third party until a few days fince , when a letter was received b y his mother at Hereford , purporting ( as the address , franked by tbe commanding officer implied ) to be from a private soldier named Taylor . She at first hesitated to open the letter , but ultimately did so , and unthinkingly stated in public , ihat she had received a letter from her son , for she found that tbe communication was signed by him in his true name . The circumstance became speedil y known to the authorities at Hertford , and after some preliminary inquiries , steps were taken to prevent justice from being eluded . Mr . Duncan , head police-officer of Hertford , lost no time in
coming to Devonport , and immediately recognised Taylor , the man charged with the murder , in the person calling himself Eames , and by which name he had gone since his t-nlistment . Taylor also immediately ret-ognised Mr . Duacan , called him by his name , and asked if he was going to take him away that night ; indeed be appeared to be quite aware of the circumstances under which he was made prisoner , before a word was said to him on thesubjret . He was removed , heavily ironed , by tbe Defiance coach , in custody of Mr . Duncan . He is a young man , apparently about twenty-one years of age , and has behaved very well whilst in the regiment . —Devonport Journal .
Death of a Miser . —Died , on"Wednee day evening , in Water-lane , Rotherhithe , Joseph Bowman , better known in that neighbourhood by the appellation of " Old Bags , " from the number of these appendages he usually carried . He was always miserably clad , and obtained a livelihood by collecting pieces of oil rope , rags , and bones . The latter articles he has been known to stew down with onions and pieces of bread , for his meals . A short time previous to his dissolution , when he felt conscious his end was approaching , he sent for his nephew ( who always , considering his uncle in bad circumstances , allowed him a shilling a-week out of his earning * as a labourer in the West India Docks ) , and on his arrival told him where his monev was some of which was sewed up in the blanket , co-erlid , and bed-sacking , and a quantity of
half-pence and farthings under one of the boards of the flooring , but the greater part was sewed up in the patches of his clothing , and consisted chiefly of half sovereigns . The sum he had accumulated exceeded £ 230 , all of which he gave to him , with the exception of £ 5 . That he presented to an old woman , who was very attentive to him during his last illness . The rent of his apartment he punctually paid every week , in halfpence . He was an unusually clean person for his way of life , snd had ; the greatest aversion to Teceive any assistance from the parish . Two or three days before his death , on being ^ advised to obtain an order from the parochial authorities , he worked himself into a great passion , and actually sent for and paid a surgeon for his attendance and medicines , and spared himself no nourishment he could obtain . When he was aware
he could not recover , his last Teqnest was , that the cost of his burial should not exceed £ 2 . 10 s .,. and that he should not be interred in the ground appropriated for paupers . A Daughtbr ' s Tocher . t-A young woman in this city ( Glasgow ) , that had a few sweethearts , was lately married to one of them , who , previous to the happy consummation , bad secured a more frequent communication with the object of hi * wishes than any of his rivals , by taking np his lodgings in the "house ' of the mother , where the girl ^ also resided ^
After the . knot had been tied for some days , the calculating swain was surprised to ; learn that the parent had positively refused to give her daughter any one article in the shape of _ 'iQfl > Jaet , " or tocher . It having been agreed between the young couple that this was shabby in the extreine ^ . t ^ e , following stratagem was effected in order ^' . acl |« jst the , matter , I— -The mother was , most loving ^ r invited the other " night to tbe Theatre Royal , by the sontin-law and her daughter , to hear the- Misses Smith sing ; . bit when , on the point of entering together , ' the ydungi gndewife recollected , that beT husband ' s sister should alse have
