The manifestations are carried to such a height in Edinburgh, that Mr. Tait was last Sunday obliged to hang out a placard that no strangers would be admitted into his chapel, and also to have a number of Police- men present to preserve the peace. About six o'clock the same even- ing, Messrs. Anderson and Carlyle were seen walking towards Leith ; and whenever they met a group or an individual, they accosted them in some such language as this—" Obey your master "—" Fear God "— " The end of all things is at hand"—" The day of God's judgment is -come !" After uttering these exclamations, Anderson declared, that if they would not hear him "he would speak to the stones and the walls, for he was a prophet sent from God to proclaim that the hour of his judgment was come." He then dashed into a Sunday school ; where, with the most violent geeticulations, and in the most unearthly tones, he exclaimed," Fear God," &c. The children shrieked with affright, and the master fell down in his chair. Carlyle, on reaching the draw- bridge, commenced a sermon in his usual style, but was often inter- rupted by the manifestations of Anderson. They at length shrieked aloud," Ye will not hear God's word!" and shook off the dust of their -feet and departed.--.Caledonian Mercury.
