      Susdjly ix Londox . —? s otwithrtaniMng » o much L » s been written and said about the different ways of obsrring the Sabbath in London , it is now gecenlij conceded , hy old desizens and impartial judges , atf there is no city in Europe where more defereace for the day is voluntarily paid ; and certainly tiers are few places in the world where die same Burtr of expression , and iinanimity of observance , « XB 3 at the same time and oh the same subject . Ttzs , whatever amusement mav be proposedit is

      , liravs taien for granted that the amusement is secondary to the reiigioas pnrposes of the daT . In a sfirepolis with so many inhabitants , and under a Government of so much real freedom , it is natural for s people jo situated to fellow out tkeir own ideas d tis manner in whieh they shall occupy the hours si their Sunday ; but with regard to deferential re ? peet and bolj reverence for the day , bo people are sare united aaa S . rm . The fact of not using- the csr -with sufficient rsa . 1 , is a fault for which manv of

      asm are open to eeciure ; bet the general princiole ef holy regard for the Sabbath is thoroughly i * mpasted in the breast of Englishmen , and is ^ acknow . isdged in other ways than in mere show . London L < iiway 3 too well provided with ^ reat and good men , of sll denominations , ever to allow pnblic opiaion a relapse into any general desecration of the Sar > - bdu Daring the last half century , the diceremt dominations appear to have been engaged in a as oa the road of improvement toward the spiritnslizarjon of the intellect .

      best-Sled churches in the world for tie adoration of the karfc The crowded state of the streets , just before srd after the performance of divide service , furnishes i pieaang proof of the influence of toleration , and s » 'blessing ? of religion . Upwards of six hundred « : rctes are open for every individual , from the ornindoi episcopalian to the wandering tribes of Jtiah , and even the de ^ atin ? materialist . This is ae rroe toleration of catholicity , aad the catholicity « ' toleration .

This resin fuel is feaisf the greu ' -est ttf& in Ibzs voyage ! " , when used viai proper proportion of coal , as it enables the fire-= ai 13 maintain the requisite pressure of steam with -grex re ^ tuaritv , and also to raise steam more

      njidy on any emergence . It is not acapted for rise Mibel by itself ; but when about 2 % cvri . cf this fell used with 20 cwt of coal , by throwing it in tu :: of the are wi : h eac-h charge of fresh coal , a aaci better combu-tion of the coal takes place , and 4 e deer is equal to that which would be produced by 2 / cwt . of coal . Thus , 2 V & *! - ^ 13 fuel so enplred is equal to 7 cwt . of coal . The cw-t is froEiSs , to 40 * . per ton .

      CKKTAIN 1 NTBLMGKNCE . --The Po 8 t-officfc folks were ^ a good deal puazled the other evening by tbe circumstance of finding a chilrf , wrapped up comfortably in flannel , being left for delivery in the customary manner . As the postage would neceasasariVy be heavy , it was judged proper to consign the packet and its living contents to the care of th * authorities of St . Ann ' s parish . Kather singularly one of Owen ' s " labour exchange" notes was found enclosed—whether intended to defray tbe charge for " delivery" is uncertain . From the sex « f the child , the mail was evidently its destination .

      BAD IS THE BEST . " My wife > so very bad , " cried " Will , " 1 fear she ne'er will hold it—Shekeepsherbed . "— Mine r s worse , " said Phil , " The jaae has just now sold it . " AN Amotjrocs Pun . —" Who is that lovely girl ? " exclaimed Lord Norbury , riding in company with his friend Counsellor Granarty . " Mis * Glass , " replied the banister . " Glass ! " reiterated the facttious judge , " by tbe love which man bears to woman , I should often become intoxicated could I press such a glass to my lips . " A PtrN ik Perfection . —James the First of England , and Sixth of Scotland , though in some degree a man of sense and wit , ieems to have b « en remarkably deficient in the more important talent of steadineex and vigour of mind . It i « said that he

      was not unesnscieus of this defect ; acd that he was once told of it in a very curious manner from the pulpit . He heard of a famous preacher , who , ac-Curding to the fashion of the time . « , was very witty in his sermons , and peculiarlyhappy in his choice o ' f texts . James got this person to preach before him ; who , with all suitable gravity , gave out his text in the following words : — - James I . and VI ., in the latter part of tbe verse . ' He that wavereth is like a wave of the sea , driven by the winds and tossed . '" " God ' s chickens , " whispered the king , "he is at me already . " -The preacher went on , and trimmed the king soundly . The text is genuine , and the application of it witty , even inat-pendtatly of the pun , which seems so well suited to the time * of "James i ' and VI . "

      The Tailor's Clock . —A sentleman , popping his head through a tailor't working shop-window exclaimed , " Vfhat o ' clock is it ? " Upon which ' the tailor lifted his lap-board , and struck him a blow ' on the head , ' answering , " It has just struck one . " A Sati 5 Fact © ry Answer .- An Irish sailor , having fallen from the raiztn-f-p of one of our ships , was supposed by everyone on the quarterdeck to have been killed by the fall ; the poor fel-W , however , got up apparently but little hart . The first lieutenant , who was near him , inquired where ce came from . " Please your honour " " replied Paddy , all the while rubbing hid arm , " ' i came from the North of Ireland . "

      Science 0 ? -Optics . —A gentleman remarked the oilier cay to an Iri-h baronet , that the science of optics was now brought to the highest perfection ; for that , by the" aid of a telesco , e , which he had just purchased , ne could discern objects at an incredible distance , "iiy df-ar fellow , " replied the good-humoured baronet , "I have one at my lodge in the _ county of "W ex ford ibat will be a match for it ; it brought the church of Er . niseorth y to near to my view , that 1 ceuid hear tie whole congregation singing psalms . "

      Legal " Wit . Lori Norbury was asking the reason of the delay tim hippe : ed " in a oause ^ and be was answered , it was because Mr . Serjeant Joy . wao _ was to . lead , was absent , but Mr .

Dunning , a working man was called to the chair , and introduced the business in a long and able address , which was warmly applauded . Mr < O'Neil then addressed the meeting , and insisted strongly on the duty of supporting the Democratic press , both directly and indirectly . He called upon the workingmah to demand the expulsion of the factious press from every club or public house which they might attend by this means he contended , without the slightest

      sacrifice on the part of the people , much might be done to cripple the "power of their" oppressors . Mr . Gamsby , after a brief speech , proposed the followiag resolution : — " That the careful attention which tke General Convention has hitherto paid to ihe mighty interests confided to it , tneprudenee and ability with which those interests have been maintained , are such as to entitle that body to the warmest gratitude of the people , also to justify the most entire confidencein it for the future .

      sought to be withdrawn from the Convention . He then examined the comparative merits of Socialism and RadicaliMn ; shewing ; on the authority of Mr .

      Signal triumph of the Chartists in the City of Durham . —We have just time to announce the intelligence we have received of the Chartists' victory over the ¦ combined Whig and Tory factions of this city , on Thursday night . On Thursday morning Messrs .

The room was crowded at an early hour with an eager and attentive people ; and the utmost order was preserved with the exception of some

      bustling and talking of a clique of church sextons , parish ^ clerks , and newspaper scribes , who were knocking their heads together for the contrivance of a scheme to defeat the object" of the meeting . Mr . Lawson , of Broomside , having been called to the chair , proceeded to address the ; meeting with great warmth and energy , and challenged all the wisdom that the Cathedral , or the University , or the law could scrape together to a free and open discussion .

Reave ? , of Suaderland , was next introduced to the meeting , and in a speech of considerable leDgtb , and with great ability , exposed the atrocities perpetrated by the Poor Law Amendment Act , and pointed out , with great tffect , the five great prinles of the

      cip " People ' s Charter . " During the time these speakers were addressing the meeting considerable interruption was experienced by these " factious gentlemen" hawking their resolution about tke rceeting for a seconder . Wh ^ n Mr , Binns rose to address the ' meeting order was in a measure restored , whether it was owing to a seconder having been obtained , or from the more probable fear which they had of a speedy expulsion from tbe room , " w-e are not able to tell , but they were all attention . Mr . Binns urged on the people the necessity of laying aside all party considerations , and proceeding calmly and diligently to inquire into thV truth or error © f the principles for which he contended . He ridiculed the

      idea of men beiug Whigs or Tories , without urging in public one word in the defence of their creeds . Ihe cant of priest-craft—the curse of king-craftthe humbug of passive obedience , were shewn u p im their real colours ; and the majesty of truth wa » maintained to be stronger than the iron despotism of error . As the speaker proceeded the meeting increased in enthusiasm ; the " ' small ' fry" of the Advertiser and the Chronicle were absorbed in the unanimity of the meeting , and the " little resolution , " the " illegitimate bantling , " was pat out of the way , or rather , " died hy the visitation of the people . " Three cheers were given at the close of the meeting for the . Convention and the People , . aad three for Mr . Binns . '
