PRAIRIE SKETCHES.

Consumers—It was on the fifth day of our ' travel homeward, after leaving San Miguel, when the mountains were slowly lessening behindus. and far away before us stretched the great plains. that our attention was attracted, at about eleven o’clock, a. m., by the appearance of some three or four objects in motion, at a great distance, away to our right. A few distinct spots appear- ed, which would scarcely have been discernable at all had they not been in motion. We conti- nued on our way with our eyes fixed upon the far horizon, where these objects were seen, not apprehending danger, though, being in a region much frequented by maraiitling tribes, we‘ felt probably a sufficient mingling of apprehensmn ,to enliven our curiosity. It was soon evident that what we saw could not be btifialo, and a very few moments more brought its to the conyiction that a band of wild horses was approaching us. for the swift and graceful lope oftliat animal be- came discernable, and as those in advance rose more distinctly into sight, other spots appeared behind, and little knots of fi‘Ve or six were seen scattered about the same portion of the prairie, all seemingly moving towards where we were.

The Bishop of Exeter has done more for the promotion of religious peace in our Coloniesthan any Prelate of the Church to which he belongs. To his Lordship we are indebted for the Opinions ofthe judges on the subject of the Canada Cler- gy Reserves—an exact copy of which, as deli-, vered by the Lord Chief Justice ofthe Court of Common Pleas to the House of Lords, we this day lay before "our readers. Whatever may have been the intention of the Right Reverend Pre-

late, he has called into being a document which cannot fail to have the most salutary effect, not merely in Canada, btit in nearly all the Colonies of the British Empire in which sectarian differ- eilces have been productive of the most mis- chievous results.

is most warlike and dangerous to the trader, yet was this party that ndw crossed our path tho- roughly frightened, and Lieutenant Hernandez understood their perplexitv' well, and knew as well how to profit by his advantage; and he talked to the savages as though they were all at his mercy, and he could if he pleased extermi- unto them all in an instant. They said they were in search of buffalo, and had no intention to molest us ; upon which Hernandez told them they might depart, assuming an air as though he had magnaniinously granted them their lives. They care little for the Spaniards, but they dread the Americans, and the first question these Iii- dians asked of-us was, how many Americans were in our party. ,

Hernandez, still maintaining his confident de- meanour, ordered the camp to be struck, and the Commanchcs, after hovering around us for two or ‘three hours, at last went off in scattered groups, as they had approached us. They were covered from head to foot with vermilliori; and as they dashed along the prairie upon their un- tamed horses, with their long hair streauiiiig be- hind them, they seemed like mounted flames of fire, and the very horses seemed to sporn the ground as though they were under the control of

Lieutenant Hernan- dez, who commanded our escort oftwenty-five soldiers, furnished us by the Governor of'Santa Fe, gave us now a specimen of his military capa- cities, and set about arranging for del'eiicd with great coolness and deliberation. Some descrip- tion of these soldiers is necessary, as also the condition and strength of our whole party. There were five lenders, each ofwhom em~ ployed from five to ten retainers or attendants The chief of these leaders is entitled to first at- terition. He always rode a more than ordinary sized mule, rather rough looking, but very docile and very strong. His heavy saddle was orna- mented with brass and silver headed naibyflriven into the high pummel] and back, and fortniri fanciful but tirimeaning devices. The bridle— tbe wooden stirrups, with their thick and heavy leather guards—the Spanish bit, locking the poor animal’s month'up, and not suffering it to eat or drink, with the jingling ornaments hang- ing under the jaw—the skins hanging from the piiminell, guarding the rider’s legs from rain and cold—all these wore more or less decorated with knobs and plates of fine silver, but so coarsely worked as to look no better than as so many bits

STATE or AGRICULTURn.—'I‘he scien agriculture is yet in its infancy, and the improvements which we have witnesse' these last thirty years, and which, we re' say, are daily and steadily progressing, fail us out in our opinion. By increasing in,

tion of the Judges of England, (with the excep- ‘ion of Lords Denman and Abinger, who were absent,) will, no doubt, be abandoned, and the various religious communities, inflamed by the claims in question with the most violent feelings against the Anglican Church, will now be suf- fered to live together in peace and amity.

The Judges declare, that the words “a Pro- testant Clergy,” in the Statute, 3| Geo. IlI., cap. 3|, and first met with in the Statute 14, Geo. III., cap. 83, “ include other Clergy than those ofthe Church of England,” and “ both in their natural meaningfirnd still more from the context of the clauses in which they are found,” ,appear to be “used to designate and intend it gergy oppoaed in doctrine and discipline to the

ergy of the Church of Rome, and rather to aim at the encouragement of the Protestant reli- gion, in oppoaition to the Rouiish Church, than to point exclusively to Clergy ofthe Church of England."

But the opinions of the Judges are not merely negative. When desired to state. ” if any other Clergy are included. what Other 1” they answer, “It appears to us that the Clergy of the Estab- lished Church of Scotland do constitute one in- stance of such other Protestant Clergy.” By a

reference to a number of acts they show not only that the Clergy of the Church of Scotland must 59 held to be a Protestant Clergy under the pro- Vision of the Act, 14 Geo. 111., but that in Bri- tish Colonies acquired by Conquest since the union, and forming part of the dominious ofthe British Crown, the term, a Protestant Clergy, must be held to include the Clergy of the Estab- lished Church of Scotland.

This disposes of the Prcsbyterians, established and seceders, of Scotland and of Ireland ; for in the Colonies they form one whole.

But the Judges, in admitting the Presbyterians “an equality with the Church of England in all the, Colonies acquired since the Union of 1708 —-that is, in all but Jamaica', Barbadoes, and a few others of little importance—do not exclude other persua'sioris. The Clergy of the Church of Scotland constitute one instance ; but they vary considerately add, “ although in answering your Lordships' question, we specify no other Church than the Church of Scotland, we do not thereby intend that besides that Church the min- istersofother Churches may not be included in the term ‘Protestant Clergy.’ ” All that they say is, that they do not find in the Statute Book the acknowledgment of any other Clergy answer- ing' the description. But now that the exclusive

- claims of the Church of England are disposed of,

the Legislature will not under itself to be restrict- ed by former Acts, but consider in what maiiner the peace and prosperity of the Colonies may be

promoted.

The emigrants, in their new country, are all imbued with a feeling of civil and religious equal- ity; for the associations of the Mother Country having been torn asunder, and land being only Valuable to the owners from the labour they can bestow on it, these circumstances imperatively determine the relation in which they stand'tow- nrds each other. The principle which serves as the basis of the Bill of the Legislature of Upper Canada, is the only principle on which the Le—

' gislature of the Mother Country can hope to se-

cure tranquillity, and inspire the Colonists with a wish to preserve the connection with the Pa- rent State. .

But the same principle of: religious equalit Which prescribes the ‘particiyiation of all the Pro- testant persuasions in the C ergy Reserves, ought

to‘ include the Roman Catholics. '~ on re-

of tin. Don Jase upon his mule, was a very far mitlahle looking person for one who was so com- pletely inoffensive. He was master of a very beautiful and very old donble-barreled shot gun, and ditto broadsword. Those were‘invariubly every morning fastened securely to the pnminell of his saddle, and taken off again at night, by a servant ; and the writer, upon this emergency, finding Dan Jose in some perplexity with his weapons, went to his assistance, and found that the shot gun was entirely useless, the nipples being broken and filled with fragments of caps, and the broadswmd was so rusted Within the scabbard that no effort could extricate it,\and it was not actually drawn during the whole course of our travel. Such was Don Jose fora war- rior, and such, with little variation, may serve as a description of the other Spanish traders and their servants.

The uniform of the soldiers was as follows :— A round jacket, and pantaloons open on the out- side from the knee down, with cuffs, collars, and other trimmings of red flannel ; leather leggings tied round the calves and and ancles, and coarse shoes. Their weapons were—a short .escopcta or fusil, a long iron pointed lance, andra knife stuck in the belt.' They were all mounted on mules, and each carried, hanging to his saddle, a long rope with it slip noose at one end, and a hollow gourd for transporting Widen—They were in truth as good a sample of “ A tattered host of mounted scare crow!"

as were ever dignified with the name otsoldiers, yet they manifested little alarm, and having been placed in the best defensive order by the lieuten- ant, and the brass cannon having been drawn in the front of the encampment, ready for action, each man planted his lance in the ground, cock- ed his fusil, and awaited the approach of the enemy. ‘

Five of the objects which we had seen. were now swiftly approaching us, and the forms ofthe Indians were distinctly discernable, mounted upon their half-wild horses. Other groups were hur- rying on behind, numbering in all something less than a hundred, though others were still ri- sing into sight in the distance, and of course we could fisrm no conjtmture of how many were vet behind. _ Our lieutenant was undoubtedly a brave little fellow, (a man of slender but sinewy mould, well traced features, deep, dark flush“; eyes.
