In the Court of King's Bench, London,
on the 27th November, in the case of YVil-
kinson vs. Johnson and others, it was deri-
ded, that, as the striking out an endorse

not discharge the endorser, it could not ren
der the party making the erasure liable to

subject him to an action on the case, if the

What the editors call “ a speck of war”
between this country and Spain, appears in
the political horizon. It is however, most
probably nothing more than one of thuse
transient meteura which appear only to
“ dissolve to common air again.” It is con.
tained in a Madrid Jotter of December 7th,
published in the Loudon Morning Chroni'

Another London paper states that Mr.
Appleton, of the American Legation to
Spain, had embarked at Liverpool for New

this matter is cleared up. The determina

energetic measures than those hitherto em
ployed, to root out the pirates who find shel

be as displeasing to Ferdinand as our re

TO TUX EDITOR, or THE •EOSStAi*.
On the Female Character, and its Influence in
Politics ana Slctty tun.
The ladies have been more closely con
nected with religion than perhaps they are
aware of. A new religion is congenial to
tlieii dispositions and nut merely fur its no
velty. There is a luxuriantly of fan
cy, and a progress to ideal perfection, which
every new religion displays ; it is honora
ble to their finer sensibilities, that they are
ever the first to incline to what appears so
theoretically beautiful. That the earliest
propagators of new dogmas have had re
course to these invisible, yet powerful
wheels in the machine of human nature,
(I mean women) is not controverted. Let
the fair sex be inveigled, and the religion is
established ; a woman at least can bring
Iter husband, a mistress the prime minister,
and a Queen the Sovereign. It is a curi
ous observation, but it is made by many,
that the Christian religion was greatly in
debted to the patronage and the sensations
ofthe sex—Voltaire would make us believe
that half of Europe owes its Christianity to
women. It is however certain that from
the influence ofthe female character, we de
rive many ofthe prominent events ofreligi
ous history. For instance, the first domi
nions ofthe Pope, and consequently the ori
gin ofthe Papal power, are the gilts of a la
dy. Gregory VII. received from the Coun
tess Mathilda, all her estates as a gift to the
holy see. The illustrious Paula, forsook
Rome and founded several monastaries. I
could advance many other instances, but in
a word, christianty in England, and conse
quently here, is derived from a French
Princess, who having married Ethelbert,
first stipulated for the free exercise of her
religion, and soon had such influence on
her husband, as to christianise his idolatrous
Saxons. It is thus, that the female char
acter has ever had an invisible influence on
two ofthe most important branches ofhu-
man events, politics and religion—-a superb
ority of talent, in one respect has produced
this unvaried result. This talent, consists
in a great knowledge of man, a susceptibilty
nf impression and a peculiarity of situation.
In the domestic circle, the female is inces

ORIGINAL POETRY.
ON VIS'TING THE TOMB OF THE
REV. DR. KOLLOCK.
Around the tomb white Koi.i.ock sleepB,
My footsteps tread, my full heart weeps :
Blest man ! how often have I heard
Thy burning lips dispense the wono >
How glory kipdled in thine eyes,
While pointing sinners to the skies;
And when thy voice declared Heaven’s In vs.
The bold transgressor tremb’ling paused.
But now, no more I see thy face,
In which tin-re shone such heavenly grace;
It moulders here in silent dus',
’Till God shall wake the sleeping just.
And thou “9halt have a large reward,”
When the last Thump shall rouse thy day*
Angels shall be thy flaming guard,
To the bright realm! of endless day.
A son of Northern climes, to thee
This hiunb'e tribute sorrowing pays;—
<> may my life thus end in p.'ifce,
Thus may I close my mortal dnys.
