Tus was the subject of the lecture de- livered in the Y. M. C. A. Hall last even- ing, by the Rev. J. C. Berrie. W hile in- tro.tucing the lecturer to the large audience present, Jud.e Hensley, who presided, said ny topic euuid be more interesting to ali than tie great metropolis oi tae world, with its four millions of inhabitants ; but special- ly interesting was it to himself, one who was born within the sound of the bow Bells.

Tue lecturer commenced by saying that, for himseli, ue was ‘‘ a young man from the country.” But his father was a free citi- gen of London, and from his father he in*® herited all the rights and privileges of a free citizen.

no name ‘‘Cockney,” applied to citizens of London, is said to have originated in the following circumstance :—A Londoner—all innocent of rural sights and sounds—was taking his first trip to the country. Hear- ing a horse neigh, he inquired waat sound that was. He was told that it was the neigh e:'a horse. Afterwards, seeing a cock ecow, he had to be told the na ue ot the bird. Un . said he, the ‘‘cock neighs.”

London, tae great centre of the world, covers an area uf 700 square miles. Its streets are 7,000 miles in length. Its p lice- men alone number fro. 8,000 to 10,000, with 2 J horsemen. On the highest ground in Lon- avn is a stone, from waich, tradition#ays, St. Paul preached to the resideats of the huts which then covered the site of the greatest city of the present age. Charing Uvoss is the great centre whence London is measured, and whence it extends some fifteen mules in every direction. Imagine

the space lying between Charlottetown and |

Covehead, and then mentally measure the same distance East, West and South, and a pretty good idea will be formed of the size of London. ‘To feed the millions residing within this area taxes to the utmost the skill and ingenuity of men. The principal source of jueat supply is Newgate Market, situated near the grun walls of Newgate prison. The stalls are filled with meat—displayed to the best advantage — for Londoners always put the best side to London —as early as three o'clock in the morning. ‘Lhe streets, for miles around, are thronged with butchers’ carts, butchers’ porters, butchers’ boys, by m.ans ot which the meat is, with extraordinary rapidity and precision, conveyed to all parts of the city. ‘ihe vegetable market at Covent Garden is of more varied interest. Here ace displayed ev:ry kind of iruit and vege- table, each im its season ; and here may be g udied every variety o: character in both azxec.

Once more take the harp; ye gods come again, Your poetical syllables tlash through my brain, Strike tae chords slow aad soft, be careful and mind— Every note is in tane, every word sung is kind ; For the bard isin sorrow, his heart is in pain, The ‘‘Patriot’s” Jew has been rhyming again.

—— —+<>e—__-——-- » A Poisoning Mania.

JENNIE POST, THOUGH ONLY SIXTEEN, HAS FED TWO FAMILIES ON ARSENIC.

(From the New York World.)

Jennie Post, aged sixteen years, whose history goes no further back than the date of her discharge from the Poor House at Patterson, N. J., four years ago, is now in jail-at New City, N. Y., under charges oi murder and attempted poisoning. She was untii recently a do.vestic in the employ of General von Weicht, late of the Prussian army, whose farm is near Spring Valley, on the Northern Railway of New Jersey. Six months ago, when he had oegasion tv rebuke the girl, the general was taken ill after eating a dish of soup served by Jennie Post. Violent cramps attended with intense nausea were the ciaracteristics of his illness. Afterwards upon several occasions Mrs, von Weicht’ was similarly affected; once so seriously that Dr. J. H. Whaghton was called, as it was believed” that her life was in danger. The physician ordered a diet of milk ; put the symptoms became more and more alarming. Mrs. Weicht noticed the peculiar taste of the milk and suspected that Jennie was drugging it. Jennie, how- ever, stoutly denied the charge, until the physician by persistency and stern langu g- irightened the girl imvo an acknowledye- ment of her guilt, Jennie was arrested and taken before Justice Farrington, to whom she confessed all. She acknowledged hav- ing obtained arsenic from the General’s hired man, Wiliiain Albrecht, who used it to ric the tarm of vagrant dogs. She declared that it was the arsenic wnich had caused General yon Weicht’s soup to disagree with hia, and admitted that during the weeks between the second and ninth days of the present month she administered the same poison tu Mrs. von Weicht in her food and aiterwards in the milk prescribed by the do-stor.

It was recelldcted that Jennie went from the Ajms-tiouse to the famiy of Mrs. Peter J. ve Baum, of Rockland, and remained chere until aiter the death of Mr. De Baum, which occurred iwo years ago. Mr. De Baum had been treated for pueumonia by or. Lake, but his sudden and pamiul death jexated suspivions. _Daums to Alexander Wiktie’s and then to ‘General von Weicht’s.

Say a few parting words to the Avary old man.

Good evening, old Jew,—I see you've been crowing Since 1 nad this pleasure ;—and also ’tis lain That there is just atime when the moon has stept growing, Which tradition sets forth as affecting the brain ; it has taken affect—and a serious one too— Un the ‘‘gruel called brains” in the skull of 4 Jew.

I felt somewhat timid the first time I wrote you; Atraid of your visage, so haggard and mean, But now I can say taat I know more about you, — What sort of a creature you are and have been ; I have taken your weight, and can tell by this ti:ne How much you are wanting in brain to make rhyme.

Your pedigree, too, I have now quite decided . (for Natare’s true laws maue you some body’s son) ; You deay being any any relation to Pilate ; Ui rhe two that 1 mentioned you name only one ; In the face thea of this, I conclude that nc other Than Judas himself was your sweet-tempered brother.

You've assumed a new role since your firt publication ; A critic, instead of historian, now ; A critic, fursooth (what vain infatuation), Expecting fresh laurels to deck out your brow. Reméniber, Oh Jew (1 can’t call you by name), That sometimes two persons can play at that game.

And here, just en passant, I venture to note The wonderful progress that iately you’ve mace ; (I deduce this opinion from what you last wrote, }

‘Tis a good thing for you that aside you have laid—

The historical garb, which your eloquence burst ;

You've astonished us now, but, tligustel as tirste

For a moment I'd turn up your first-born eci tion,

Anl scan some few lines near the tep of the sheet,

And forgetting the rest, which abouncls in tra- dition,

Lay hold on that similie, passively sweet ;

Lhe ‘‘ Wheel of Old Time,” with its axle so soiled,

That ’tis ‘‘clogged up with mud,” yet “‘ progres- sively oiled,”

(That's oae of your phrases one might call ur- couth),

A ‘** Yankee Miss,” sir, ‘‘from the State Mis3is- sippe!”

Come, come, sir, I doubt your regard for the truth ; :

A “Yankee Miss” hails from the Vorth, not the South. ’

A Wife’s Curious Suit—The Appeal whicha Catholic Lady has made to the Ecclesiastical Courts.

The following citation was recently served apon a well kaown citizen of Nashville by a ieputy sheriff of the town :—

A Sr. Parricg’s CATHEDRAL, New York, Dec. 31, ’77. le , Esq.

Str: You are hereby n«tified and res et fully requested toa, pear beforemeonthe+3i dvi January, 1878, to testify regarding the validity wr otherwise of a marriage contracted by you with before the late most Rev. Juha iughes, then Archbishopof New York, on the sixteenth day of May, lo49. The undersigned ias been appointed, according to the holy can- ’ ns of the Church, judge in this case, and in shat capacity respecttully addresses you this utation. The Court will epen at 263 Mul. verry street, New York®city, on the twent- -hird day of January, at 11 o'clock, as above vet forth.

Respectfully, your obed’t servant, Wa. Quinn, Vicar-General

The above, of course, has not the weight t law, but is only a request to appear be- ore ecclesiastical council, It is understoud ciat the lady in the case,formerly a wealthy esident of New Orleans and who married ut the age of sixteen, has applied to Rome -o have her marriage declared null, and shat in consequence of the application the Jourt of Rome has directed an investiga- cion to be made here according to the for.us orescribed by the canons of the Church as ‘ounded by Benedict X1V., the proceedings vf the investigation to be transmitted to dome for final aztion by the proper congre- sation with the approval of the Pope. "The ady is of creole extraction, and has been ‘or some time and is at present residing in Yrance. She obtained a civil divorce from 1é¢r husband some years ago, but under the jaws of the Catholic Church such civil pro- esses of divorce do not hold good unless nade valid by a special dispensation by the Pope. Wishing to marry again, she wili aow seek to prove that her marriagej was aot legal or was not a sacrament as required vy the Catholic Church, and this, notw.t1- standing that she had several children at che issue of the marriage. Her lawyer in france has written here and retained Mr. 3. L. M. Barlow to act as her counsel in the soming investigation. The husband has signified his imtention to be represented uso, and it is understood that he will spare ao pains to prevent her from accomplishing ner ovject. She will be ob.iged to prove that she was forced into the marriage against ner wishes, and that she was not responsible cor her act, and no action of his subsequent ‘9 tae marriage will have any weight in de- termining the action of the Church. The uivestigation will require the retention of ecclesiastical counsel, and will be carried yat at groat trouble and expense.
