by anticipation upon every loyal heart. Di-

repair to the respective festive boards, where 
the remainder of the day was spent with that

partaking of the general joy that prevailed, 
ordered a fut ox to be purchased and distri-

likewise one in-his own neighbourhood

A singular discovery has been made in one 
of the churches at Edinburgh. Some years 
ago, a chest, without any address, but of 
enormous weight, was removed from the old 
Weigh-heuse at Leith, and lodged in the 
outer aisle of the oldchurch. This box had 
lain for upwards of thirty years in Leith, and 
several years in Edinburgh, -withour a 
claimant 5 and, what is still more extraordi- 
nary, without any one ever having had the 
curiosity to examine it. On Tuesday the 
16th, however, some gentlemen connected 
with the town, caused the mysterious box to
