Attorneys.-— A gentleman in tbe
country who had just buried a rich
relation, an attorney, was complain
ing to Foote of the very great ex
pense# of a country funeral. *• Why,'
do you bury your Attorneys here f”
asked Foote gravely. “Yes, to be
sure we do; how else ?’* “Oh ! we 1
never do that in London.” “ No!”
said the other, much suprised, “ how
do you manage ?” “ Wljy, when the
patient happens to die, we layr hint
out in a room over night by himself,
lock the door, thrown up the sasit,
and in tire morning he it entire.y
oft’.” “ Indeed!” cried the other
in amazement, “ what becomes of
him ?” “V\ hy, that we cannot ex
actly tell, not being acquainted willv
supernatural causes. Ail that we
know #f thetftatter is, that there’s
a strong smell of brimstone in the
room next morning .”

Curiosities of Literature
We hardiy know any subject bet
ter calculated to atnu»e-the man of
ll t U:r * r y and research, than the
® .*e and manner of sermonizing in.
Ang and, at diSetcut periods snjee
Utlor i a *U»B. > Among ajl the
k
curiosities of literature, we have
never met with any thing more
worthy of that title, than the dis
courses of the celebrated Latimer,
Bishop of Worcester, one ot the
Martyrs in the sanguinary reign of
Mary. The following passage from,
a sermon of his, in the time of Ed
ward VI. in which, among other evils
of the times, he introduced the sub
ject of judicial bribery and corrup
tion, may serve as a specimen of his
plain, bold, and pungent manner,
when preaching before the court.
44 Now a days, the judges are a
fraid to hear a poor man against the
ridi j thy will either pronounce
against him, or drive offthe suit, that
he shall not be able to get through
with it But the greatest man in
the realm cannot so hurt a judge as
a poor widow j such a shrewd turn
can she do him. The cries of the
poor ascend to heaven, and call
down vengeance from God. Cam
bises was a great Emperor, such an
other as our master is : it chanced
he had under him, in one of his
dominions, a briber, a gift-taker, a
gratifier cf rich men. The cry of a
poor widow came to the emperor’s
ears; upon which he flayed the judge
quick and laid his skin in the chair
of judgment; that all judges that
should give judgment afterwards
should sit in the same skin. Surely
it was a goodly sign, the sign of the
judge’s skin: I pray God we may once
see tbe sign of the skin in England.’
Speaking of the progress ol the
reformation, he says— 4 * It was yet
but a mingle-mangle, and hotch
potch i 1 cannot tell what, partly
popery, and partly true religion mix
ed together. They say in my coun
try, when they call their hogs to the
swir.e-trougli—Come to thy mingle
mangle, come poor, come. Even so
do they make mingle-mangle of the
gospel. They can clatter and prate
of it, but when all someth to all, they
joined popery so with it, that they
married ail together.”
We have also lately had oppor
tunity to examine two volumes,
made up of collections oT sermons
delivered before two houses of the
English parliament, in the time of
Charles I. and during the civil wars
immediately before the execution of
that monarch, and though there is a
great difference between the style of
this period, and that of Bishop Lat
imer, yet the sermons in the time of
Charles are almost as great curiosi-.
ties as those in the reign of Edward
VI- In thu year 1647, the Rev.
Peter Sterry preached before the
House of Commons a sermon which
he entitled— 44 The Clouds in which
Christ comes, opened in a sermon be
fore the honourable Mouse of Com
mons, assembled in Parliament, upon
the solemne day of their monthly
Fast, Oct. 27, 1647.” This dis
course is preceded by a Dedication,
which, as a literary curiosity, and
especially as a specimen of style and
the manner of thinking of the times,
we have copied.
44 To the Honourable House of Com
mons, assembled in .Parliament,
44 Noble Senatours,
Not like Araunah in the holy
story, as a king in spirituale things;
but the widow in the gospell, poorc
in the riches of Christ, and too much
a widow by the absence of her
Heavenly Spouse, my soule hath
offered from her penury to your
treasury.
Yet, as a steward, I have endeav
oured to he faithlull, bringing forth
the best of my spirit, for service,
and food to your spirits—-as the
p.iests of old gave the fat of the
sacrifices to the flames on the alter.
As the royal] Preacher sought out
choice words—so have 1 sought for
the most pleasant, most profitable,
most powerful I discoveries of God,
in ray scanty store, in the midst of
that thick ignorance, which covers
my poore heart.
Now! have laid them atyour feet,
where they lye, as scattered, and
dry bones ; except the Spirit of our
Lord Jesus breath upon them, bring
them together, infuse a warmth,
power, and beauty into them, to
make them living company for y< ■ .
Not able to bring stately and cost
ly beasts to the sanctuary ; 1 have
made it my-desire, and designs to
present far an ottering before God,
and you, a pavre of Turtle Doves;
simplicity and sweetness ; or an in
nocent integrity with an humble
meeknesse.
1 hope both aw, if not without
blemish, because they have alighted
on my heart—yet ot the right breed
of that Dove, which descended from
Heaven, and alighted on the head of
our Lord Jesus
And now, what is my expecta
tion }—For my own soule, for my,
brethren in the flesh, all the child
ren of Seth, tor trie rest of my l«J
--iow creatures, which groane con
tinuaJly in my eares i U not my de
sire and sighing before thee, i) my
God ? Even this; the descent of the
Dove upon them the manifestation,
ot the Spirit in them—the true Jub
ilee, the divine liberty of the whole
creation.
All within roe .testifies of this
Spirit within roe ; all without me;
proclaim* this ‘spirit before me; as
i the spring of my ; joy«3 ; the 3nd of
! raj faith; the glorification of my per
■ son—and not of mine only* but of
, all those who are looted in this
: principle of life, whatever the soiie
f of education, profession or custbme
be, in which they are planted , what
ever the bark of opinion or affection
be, in which for the present they afe
enclosed. The most known men for
wisdome in all languages, learnings,
religions, ages, regions have wor
, shipt, have waited for this Eternal I
Spirit ; the understanding of the
world, riding forth in a chariot of
light, upon the face of all formes of
things—the good converting ail
things unto itselfe; the Unity, or
something above an uuity--the Su--
.prerae Baud of Unity and Multi
plicity.
This Spirit brought forth from it
selfe the creation, and still sits up-'
on it, hatching it, till it breake the
shell of this dark flesh, and spring
forth into its own life and image.
The Lord Jesus is this Spirit; who/
is, bes ore Abraham was, by whom the
world were made ; who is a spirit,
comprehending, cherishing, enclos
ing, coming forth intoall the fleshly
births of time.
This Jesus came himselfe in the
last times, into flesh ; was by his
cross drawn up out of it into spirit;
and now by the same way is draw-?
ing up all things after him into the
same spirit.
That yourselves, and these king-,
doms may feele, obey, enjoy the
drawing of this Jesus, the descent of
his Spirit, is the affectionate prayer
of him, who is
Your honours lowest servant in
Christ*
PETER BTERRY.
The sermon which follows this de
dication contained the folliwing di
visions—l7 heads in explantation of
the context, 4 under the text, and 7Q
in the doctrine and application—
making about ninety in the whole- a
degree of division and subdivision,
that one would suppose must have
puzzled not only the|wisest heads in
nis auditory, but evens that of the
preacher himself.

From our late English papers.
The Coronation.
The preparations, both in the Ab
bey and Westminister Hall, were
yesterday inspected by their Royal
Highnesses the Dukes of Clarence
and Gloucester, the Bishop of Ches
ter, and several of the foreign Am
bassadors.; the latter were accom
panied by Sir Robert Chester.—They
all expressed themselves highly grat
ified. The Dukes of Clarence and
Gloucester were in the Hall at the
moment some banners, on which
were portrayed the Arms of Eng
land, were exhibited from the two
towers of the triumphal arch, for the
purposes of ascertaining their effect;
their Royal Highnesses were much
pleased with the addition of these
decorations, which seemed to be
particularly appropriate. Four of
these banners, we understand, will
be suspended from the embrassures
of each tower.
The iron pillars supporting the
galleries immediately over the Roy
al platform, at the south end of the
Hall, have been richly gilt, and add
considerably to tbe splendour of the
eonp Wait in that direction. ,
From the unfinished state of the
decorations contiguous to his Maj
esty’s throne, it is apprehended the
Lord Great Chamberlain will not
be able to gratify the public to the ex
tent lie desired so soon as Monday ;
indeed, we think it would be for the
advantage of ail who are desirous of
viewing the arrangements, to wait
till the whole be completed.
Coronation Medals After (he
Coronation, and during what U call
ed the homage, gold and silver Coro
nation Coins or Medals are scatter
ed about the Abbey. Those gold
and. ver medals atihs last Coro
nui.on, the main design of which
ire, it is understood adopted now,
were ornamented on one side with
his Majesty’s bust, and the inscrip,
tion “ Georgius HI. D. G. M. Brit.
Fra. ct Hib. F. D.’and on the re
verse, was a figure «f the Sovereign
seated, with Britannia holding°a
Crown above his head, and the in
scription “ Partiae Ovanti Coron.,
xxii. Sept, mdoclxi.” Silver me
dals of the Queen were also thrown
into the galleries and scaffolding,
and amid* t the populace. On one
was represented her bust with the
Inscription Charlotta D. G. M. Br.
Fr. et Hib Regina,” and on the
other side, her figure appeared at'
full length, standing by an altar,
with a Seraph about to crown her,
the whole encircled by the motlo'
“Quasitum Merities.”
Mr. Dymocke, in the hope that he
may have the honor of personating
the character of his Majesty’s
champion on the day of Coronation,
h«s been for some time taking let
sons at Astley’s riding school® and
has become tolerably perfect in the
management ol a charger. He yes
ter day rods for (fee first time in a,suit
r of anattar, and went -through many
. ol the evolutions of an ancient
f knight. The horse which is to be
ridden by the Champion, has been
chosen from Astley’s stud j it is a
powerful entire horse, pie balled
. black and white, and is extremely
tractable. Two other horses, upon
: which the .Lord High Constable and
’ the Lord High Steward are to ride,
, have also been chosen from the same
stud ; one is perfectly black, (he
other white. They are about four
teen and a half hands high. The
Champion’s horse has been measur
ed for bis trappings, by Mr. Cuff,
the King’s saddler, of Cbaring-cross.
. The Champion’s stable is nearly
• completed. There is a platform,
with a gentle ascent, leading from
the gates to the real platform, down
which the cavalcade will proceed in
to the Hall. The stable and all its
fitments will become the property of
the Cinmpion ; it is substantially
built, and covered with lead.
We understand there are to be
several oxen and other animals
roasted whole in Newcastle, m com
memoration ofthe 'Coronation, and
that a quantity of malt liquor will
be given away. One thousand pounds
have been voted by tbe Common
Council to the Mayor for the occa
sion ; but he is not to be limited in
the rejoicing expences to that sum.
The pants, or water-fountains,are to
run something better than water on
the occasion. At George the Third’s
Coronation, a temporary erection on
the Sand hill ran wine, which was
nearly all wasted, owing to the
pressure and rudeness of the popu
lace We hope that the liquor will
be this time taken better care of.
DOMESTIC
Occupation oi Pensacola.
Extract of a letter to the Editors, dated at
Pensacola, July-18tli, 1821. t
Yesterday, after a series of delay,
and disappointments, of.a piece with
• the whole tenor of our twenty years’
negotiation with Spain the American
authorities were finally and formally
put in possession of this city, of the
fortress of the Barrancas, and of the
dominion of the ,Florida*. Out of
tenderness to the feelings of the
Spaniards, deeply excited by the
painful separation about to take place
'between those who go and those who
remain—and who are allied not only
by the ties of intimacy and friend
ship contracted during a long period
of a common residence in this plea-'
sant and salubrious region, and con
firmed by a community of habits and
religion, as well as of lineage and
language, but knitted together by
the most sacred and endearing bands
of consanguinity and alliance ; the
ceremony was conducted with very
little ostentation. The Spanish Go
vernor’s guard, consistingof a full
company of dismounted dragoons of
the regiment of Tarragona, elegant
ly clad and equipped, was paraded at
an early hour of the morning in.front
ofthe Government House. About
8 o’clock, a battalion of the 4th regi
meiK ol U. S. infantry, and a compa
ny of the 4th regiment of U.-S.'ar
tillery, the whole under the command
of Col- Brooke ofthe 4th infantry,
were drawn up on the public square,
opposite to the Spanish guard, hav
ing marched into town from the en
campment at Galvez’ Spring. The
usual military salute passed between
them. Four companies of infantry
from the American lint, under the
command of Major Dinkins, of the
sth infantry, were then detached to
take possession of the Barrancas
which is nearly nine miles below this
city.
At ten o’clock, the hour previous
ly appointed, Gen. Jackson, attended
by bis aids, secretary, interpreters,
etc. crossed the green, passed be
tween the double line formed by the
troops of both nations, who simulta
neously saluted him by presenting
arms, and entered the Government
House, where the formality of the
transfer was soon dispatched, and
the Spanish sergeant’s guard at the
gate was immediately relieved oy an
American guard. After a few mi
nutes Gov, Jackson, accompanied
by col.Callava, the late commandant,
and their respective suites, left the
Government house and passed, thro’
the same double line of troops, to tbe
house which the Governor has ren
ted for the temporary accommoda
tion of his family. The Spanish
troops were then marched to the
place of embarkation—the American
flag was displayed upon the flag staff,
and grand salutes were fired bv the
artillery company of the V. S.‘ ship
Hornet, a gun being given to each
state and territory of the Federal
Union not forgetting Florida, and
the regimental baud and that of (he
Hornet, playing the “ S'ar-spangled
Banner’ all the while. In the course
ofthe day a number of the citizens
waited on the new Governor to pay
their respects and offer their gruuiia
tions. The delivery of the Barran
cas was performed with a little more
parade. The Spanish flag was low
ered to half mast. The American
flag waa raised to a level with it.—
i / .
Both flags were in this situation, sa
luted by the Spaniards. Alter wliich.
the Spanish «S)Jurß were hauled down,
and the American ensign was hoisted.
The Americans tlten saluted their
national flag. The American troops
made a fine ac.d martial appearance,
and the Hornet was gaily dressed.
Governor Jackson, on assuming
his functions, issued his Proclamati
on. ( learn to day that he is prepar
ing some ordinances on the subject
of our municipal police, wlucb, if the)
are promulgated in season foe this
conveyance, I will transmit to you.
A strict system of quarantine, com
bined with salutary internal regula
tions, vigilantly enforced, is indis
pensable, not only to secure our
health., but, what is almost equally
precious to us, onr “good name.’*—
The long delay in the delivery of
this country is on no account more
to be regretted than as it has preven
ted the earlier adoption of precau
tionary measures against the intro
duction of disease, to which we shall
be rendered peculiarly liable from
the very salubrity of our situation ;
for, as Pensacola is justly regarded
as the temple of Hygcia, it is resor
ted to from every quarter where in
fection shews itself. We have, how
ever, hitherto, thank God, escaped e
■very thing like general or dangerous
sickness, scarcely a death having oc
curred among oiir numerous and he
terogeneous population in the three
months 1 have resided here. I have
heard, in this interval, of only four
deaths—-one of a gentleman who
came here from Alabama, d)ing of a
consumption,.who expired a few days
after his arrival.; another «t a sailor
from Orleans, -who was laboring un
der a dysentery when he left that
city, which at.last killed him; the 3d
was that of a.creole struck by light
ning a dew miles below .town ; and
the fourth, as I remember, of a Span
ish soldier in the Hospital. There
, will hereafter be less danger of the
importation of an epidemic, which,
in truth, could not spread to any ex-'
tent in this place; and of the gene
ration ol a contagious malady we
have not the slightest apprehension.
We may .now, at length, felicitate
ourselves on our opening prospects.
Pensacola as.destined eventually to
.become the great emporium of the
Gulf of Mexico, and to enjoy a large
share of the trade of the West. Un
der the.paternal government of. Jack-.
, son, we hope soon do emerge from
the weakness of infancy, and to es
cape from dhe restrictions of nonage.
High expectations are entertained of
bis wisdom and .magnanimity in.his
civil capacity. .Os his courage and
decision, his military career has a’-
read) afforded conspicuous proofs.
T© hand that so ably wielded the
Weapons ot .war against foreign ene
mies are now committed the sword
and the scales of justice, to weigh the
rights of his fellow-citizens, and to
mete out .punishment according to

champion of his country, is now con
fided the nurture and guardianship
ol the last offspring of freedom, the
Jouiigest child ol the family of free
and federated America. lie will
feel the elevation and jesponsibility
ol the trust reposed in him, of pro
