SineiJLaa SCENE IN a Cover or JUSTICE.—

Giacomo Benolini, an Italian tailor, small town near Berlin,

residing in a

was a man ofa brutal and

vindictive character, but for a time so mastered his nature as to induce a young woman to marry ‘him. The honeymoon, however, waned before its time, and all the sweets were turned into bitterness. Benolini treated his wife with such cruelty that she

was forced to sue him for a separation.

The parties

met in court, and sentence of divorce was pro- nounced. Upon this Benolini suddenly advanced to the table in the middle of the court, placed upon

it under his

a small

barrel which cloak, and,

he had addressing himself to the

concealed

judges, declared that they had pronounced their

own final

judgment, for that

the barrel was

filled with gunpowder which he would imme- diately explode; and producing a flint and steel, began to cover his infernal machine with sparks.

The court

bein

on the ground-floor, the judges,

counsel, plainti , witnesses and audience, were at once seen scrambling pell-mell from the windows as well as the doors, leaving the infuriate tailor to

blow up himself alone.

The barrel, however, was

well hooped, and, though Benolini continued to shower his sparks, the contents remained untouched time enough to admit of a fire engine being brought

and the tailor deluged with water.

He was after-

wards seized and pinioned, and the barrel secured and examined; when, instead of gunpowder, it was found to contain only some hemp-seed. On being afterwards examined as to his motives for this extravagantjoke, he said he only meant to punish the judges for deciding against him. They, however, turned the trick upon him, by condemning him to .-; two years' imprisonment.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, £840.

. After having delayed the ublication of our a er till the latest moment, in exxpectation of the alfrfz’al of the mail, we have been compelled to go to press Without it. This is nota little provoking, especially as it is probable the English Mail would arrive at Halifiix on Sunday or Monday last.

. On Monday evening last, notwithstanding the inclemency .of the Weather, :1 number of respectable and influential individuals assembled at the Court House, agreeably to public notice, to hear from (,av1e Richardson, Esq, the Agent of the Colonial Church Society, a statement of the objects contem- plated by that excellent institution, in extending its views towards these Provinces. In the course of his interesting address, many objections, on the score of rivalry, 8w. were staited, and ably answer- ed, by that gentleman. The meeting was also given distinctly to understand, that, although influenced by no bigoted or sectarian views, the Society is, bond fide, what it professes to be, strictly a Church Society. Owuig, however, to the thinness of the attendance, the meeting was adjourned to last even- ing, when Mr. Richardson again advocated the cause of the parent Society, with considerable feeling and effect. After which, a series of Resolutions were submitted, and unanimously agreed to, after having, in several instances, been supported by animated and impressive addresses. The Rosolutious, which we subjoin, will suflicieiltly explain the objects con- templated by the Society :-

I 1. That whilst we feel duly impressed with sen. timents of the liveliest gratitude for tile great efforts already made by the Incorporated Society for the pro- pagation ofilie Gospel in Foreign Parts; to relieve the spiritual dostitution of this Colony, and fervently pray that the great Head of the Cllllll‘ch would continue to youchsufe to it his special blessing, and abundantly increase its means of usefulness, yet, from the acknow- ledged inability ofthat venerable institution to meet the urgent and increasing demands for help throughout the British Colonies, we deem it our hounden duty thunk- fully to livnil ourselves of the benevolent offers of the Colonial Churtli Society to supply, accnrding to its ubi- lliy, in conjunction with that ancient institution, our destitute settlements with Missionaries, Catechisls and Schoolmusters. ' ‘

2. Thu! u Society be forthwith formed, with the ex- press view nfuidiug the Colonial Church Society iii its hon Iiiidertiking-wllich Society shall be designated the Prince Edward Island Auxiliary Colonial Church Society. - ‘

3. That this Society shall solicit, through the inter- vention of Cuvie Richardson, Esq, the accredited Agent oftlle Parent Institution, its countenance and approval, and theta Committee be appointed, to consist of one clergyman and two or more Layinen, to carry on the general CUI‘I'I‘SPUIHIEHCC. ‘

' 4. Thu! His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor be respectfully requested to become tlle l’utron of this Society. ‘

5 That any Annual contribution, however small, slillll qualify the donor to hecoincu member for a year.

6. That in future the Office—bearers and Committee of Management be chosen annually, at a general meeting.

7. That a Committee be forthwith appointed, to draw up the plan ofli constitutionpfor the Society, and to draft the Rules for its proper management—the whole to be submitted to a general meeting of the Subscribers, for llleir approval. '

8. That Cuvie Richardson, Esq. be conSIdered an honorary member of this Sociely.

9. That the following gentlemen be the Office-bear- ers oftlie Society, for the ensuing year, viz :—

Prcsidcnt, the Hon. the Chief Justice.

Vice-Presidents, the Hon. the Attorney General and

Treasurer, F. ongworth, jun., Esq.

Secretary, W. R. A. Lamont, Esq.

General Committee—1V. Cundlill, Esq, J. S. Dooley, Esq, Edward Palmer, Esq, William Douse, Esq, I. B. 'I'rclndin, Esq, Edward Huytliorile, Esq, Hon. 1.31. Hull, Henry Palmer, Esq, J. I)- I’Iilslfll‘d, Esq, John Longworlll, Esq—and all such Clergyineous are mem- bers ofthc Society ; With authority to appoint the Cor- responding Committee—nnd that fiiur be a quorum.

The Hon. the Attorney General having left the Chair, and Capt. Swabey being unanimously called thereto, the thanks of the meeting were given .to the former gentleman, for the able manner in which he conducted the business of the meeting. . .

The meeting was then cloSed With the Apostoli- cal benediction, by the Rev. L. C. Jenkins._ ..

We are happy to have it in our power to congra- tulate the Presbyterian part of the community on the arrival ofa pastor, the Reverend Angus M‘Iutyre. who has been appointed to the long vacant Situation of St. James's Church, in this town. Report speaks highly of the ability and fitness ofilie reverend gentleman for the discharge of the duties of the important situation to which he has been appotnted.
