A great proportion of the Land is ofthe finest quality, and adapted to tlie successful cultivation of every kind of grain and green crop. It abounds with calcareous sand, which, as a stimulant, has been found so highly valuable ; and in point of situation, its advantages are very rare, having tlie Fishing Village of Collieston near the centre of the Estate, and, immediately at the s6uth west boundary, the Shipping Port of Newburgh, which affords a ready outlet forthe produce, and an easy supply of Lime, Coal, and other necessaries. The Property is fourteen miles distant from Aberdeen, and ten from Peterhead ; so that It not only possesses, within itself, the convenience of an an excellent Fish- market, and exhaustless manure, hut lies also within a single stage of the best grain marke ts, and most considerable sea- ports upon the east coast. The Houses and Farm Steadings being all the property of ihe Heritor, the new tenants will have to receive them, upon dead inventory, without any payment in the way of melioration; and, as the outgoing tenants are bound, by the existing conditions oflease, to leave one- third partof the arable land in grass, three years old, and a proportion of the remainder in grass two, and one year old, the entry must be peculiarly favourable. The different Farms, and their present boundaries, will be pointed out by Alexander Fetch at Cothill, Ground Officer on the Estate; and, the Regulations as to cropping, and other particulars, maybe learned by apply- ing to Duncan Davidson, Advocate in Aberdeen, to whom offers may be addressed till the last day of October next, when the new Setting will take place at Collieston. Of- fers not accepted will be concealed, if desired. N.

" The late Dr GREGORY, as formerly stated, was born here, in the vear 1 753. and was the son of Dr. John Gre- gory, Professor of Philosophy in King's* College, to winch office he was elected when in the L'Oih year of his age , and upon the death of his brother, Dr. James Gregory, was appointed Professor of Medicine in the same lini- v rsity ; but about the year 1 " 7G5, he went to Edinburgh, and on the death of Dr. Rutherford, was chosen Professor of Medicine in that University ; , to hi. n, Dr. Cullen succeeded ; and since his death, the same chair bar, been filled, we need nit say hoe. ably, by the subject of the present notice. Dr. GREGORY was the fourth Professor of his family, in a lineal descent ; and it is not unworthy of remark, that from hisancestor. David Gregory ofKinairdy, he was the 16th descendant who had held a Professorship in a British' University. As a proof ofthe disinterested character of the late Dr. GREG RY. we l ave been informed, by a venerable Mem- ber of the Synod of Aberdeen, that he upon all occasions, declined receiving any pecuniary return for his profes- sional advice, from the Clergy of our NationM Church. Tlie same was an invariable practice of his father, Dr. JOHN GREGORY. Last week, a gentleman in Montrose, in walking among the roeks on the south side of the river, picked up in the neighbourhood of tbe tower, a very large and entire pebble, v. i igliing 16 pounds. On breaking it through the centre, it proved to be a very beautiful spar, surrounded by an outer coating of pebble; it was hollow in the centre, and the cavity contained a small quantity of water. l'his is supposed the finest and most entire specimen of s|) ar ever known to be found here, and is well worth the attention of miner dogists and those who feel an interest in survey- ing natural productions. On Friday last, a child, nearly three years of age, son of James Robertson, carrier in Brechin, vvas carried off from his parents bv two vagrants— a man and a woman ; but, being fortunately recognized by his grandmother, about a mile from town, was happily rescued from the cruel and unnatural thieves, and restored to bis parents, who were in the utmost distress concerning the fate of their infant. It is a pity that such violators of the laws of humanity are not brought to condign punishment.

A number of petitions were presented for and against the Catholic Claims. The Older of the Dav was then read for resuming the debate on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, but the prin- ciples ofthe Bill having been so often detailed, we think it unnecessary to repeat them. Amongst its opponents . ... t-;.. Royal Highness tbe Duke of Yoik, Lord Liver- pool, the Lord t.' tiancellur, ami T. ord Sidth ; and among its supporters the Marquis of Lansdovvne, Lord Crenville, and Lord Melville.

The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Beer D. itie- Bill, the Inn keeper Rates Bill, the Irish Treason Amendment Bill, and several other Bills. The Com- missioners were, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Choimondclev, and the Earl of Shaftesbury. The House adjourned till Tuesday, the Ist of May. HOUSE or COMMONS. Monday, April 16. TRADE AND AGRICULTURE. A ( rood deal of discussion took place on Mr. Ellice pre- senting a petition from merchants in London trading to Canada, against any alteration of the Timber Duties or the Corn Law-, the consequence of which, they stated, would be ruinous to the Colonies ; tbe difference in the quality they considered would be a sufficient protection in favour of British corn.— The petition was ultimately re- ared to the Agricultural Committee. FOREIGN TIMBER DUTIES' BILL. Mr. WALLACE moved the Order ofthe Day forthe Commitment ofthe Foreign Timber Duties' Bill. \ Ir. J. P. GRANT said, that it was his intention to move as an Amendment, that ihe question should again be referred to a Committee. The Hon. Member proceed- ed to argue, that the duties contemplated by the Bill went to impose a tax of 600.0001. upon the country. He con- tended that the principle of free trade ought to be acted upon in this trade. Independent of the protection given to Canada, the present Bill rendered us tributary to Rus- sia for 160,0001. a- vear, for no other reason than because he would not have the deals of Norway. He would ask the Right Hon. Gentleman ( the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer), if he refused to give up a tax like the Malt Tax, pressing with the greatest severity upon the country, be- cause the revenue must be kept up, how he could feel himself in a condition to allow a drawback to Russia of One hundred and sixty thousand pounds and to the Colo- nies of 4.50,0001. a year? The Hon. Member expressed his surprise at the Report which the Committee had made. He should propose that £ 1 15s. should be the duty upon Baltic Timber. All deals, according to their cubical contents, should he subject the charge of £ o 15s. Upon American timber he should propose 15s. for tbe first year, and 5s. more for tbe second, and ten for ihe third year; which would be equal to the difference in freight. The Hon. Member concluded by moving, as an amendment. That this House do resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House to consider further of the duties upon Foreign Timber." Mr. WALLACE did not think sufficient grounds had been shown for the amendment. He defended the protection that had ever been shown to the interests of British Shipping, and the limitations which the Report recommended, however it might occasion the animadver- sions of Gentlemen on the other side of the House. He entertained the same opinions he formerly did ; he should not therefore rejieat them again. He denied that the drawback Would, as was stated by the Hon. Member, amount to 450,0001. It was politic to encourage a spirit of competition, and if we were to derive our supplies sole- ly from Norway, she would hereafter increase her prices, and vve should " lose all the advantages arising from com- petition. - Mr. W. SMITH said it was hopeless, unless the de- tails were settled up stairs, to bring them before the House. The subject itself was too dry to command at- tention. The trade to Canada was not worth more than 200.0001. for which we. it seethed, we were to pay 450 0001. Was it wise, for. tl. ie sake of encouraging the shipping in- terest. to send to America for that which could he obtained from the Eib^? Would they, send to Newcastle for bricks, to put a duty on them to London? or would they send to the East . indies/ u/ sugars, if they could begot from the West Indies? not appear to knew the difference between Duties and Drawbacks ; the former was paid to the Revenue, and the latter was allowed upon its being exported. Russia, with the exception of our American colonies, w- as the only country now favoured in our presenfctimber intercourse. After a few observations by Sir. Rieardo, Mr. Glad- stone, and Mr. Rennet, tbe amendment was' negatived without a division, and the House went into a Commit- tee on the Timber Acts. The several resolutions were agreed to, and the report ordered to be brought up to- moi row, COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. On the motion of, Lord PALMERS TON, the House went into a Committee of Supply, when the army esti- mates were taken into consideration. Lord PAI. MEUSTON moved the sum of ^ 10,517 ISs. 9d. as allowances to principal officers in Irish depart ments, and stated, that it was the intention of Government as soon as possible, to consolidate the English and Irish offices, and put them both under one regulation. Mr. II UM E objected to the grant, and moved, as an amendment, that it be reduced fo L. 7000. Lord PALMERSTON said a few words in support of the original motion. Sir H. PA RNKLL argued in favour ofthe amendment. Mi. It EN NET followed on the same side, and, in ani- madverting on tlie manner in which the House of Com- mons repelled all propositions of economy, said, that a House of Commons w hich did not act as the guardian and trustee of the people, was not a blessing, but a curse to the country — ( loud interruption on the Ministerial benches) Mr. KROGDEN called the Hon. Gentleman to order. He ought not to pursue a course which he saw was so disagreeable to the Committee. Mr. RENNET stated, that he spoke hypothetical!}-, tb. it he said if a House of Commons acted so and so. or refused to per form dutivs which it was bound to discharge; then it was a curse, and not a blessing. Mr. BliOGOEN said he ought really to abstain from expressions so highly disagreeable. Lord MILTON observed, that there was a wide dif- ference between what was agreeableand disagreeable, and what was orderly and disorderly—( hear hear !)- Mr. BENNET disclaimed any intention of giving tbe Committee offence. He must repeat, that w hich he said vvas to be hypotbetically understood. After some further conversation between Lord Palmer- ston, Mr. Hume, Mr. Gordon, and Colonel Davies. the Committee divided, when there were, For tbeamendment, 45- Fortbemotion, 99- Majority, 54. The next item proposed was I.. 27.82-} for defraying the charges of medicines, surgical instruments, & c. for the army in Giear Britain. Colonel DAVIES moved as an amendment, that it be reduced by a sum of L. 5000. Sir 11. FE RGUSSON moved as a second amendment, that tbe resolution be postponed, in order that the charges might be examined by a Committee. Mr. HUME supported Ihe amendment for a Com- mittee. After some further discussion between Lord I'almers- ton, Mr. W. Smith. Colonel Davies, and Mr. J. I'. Grant, the Committee divided. Jj'or the postponement, 50— Against it. 109— Majority against the amendment, 50. For the reduction, 58— Against. 110— Majority. 52. The original motion of course passed. L-. rd PALMERS TON then moved L. l 70,000 for defraying tlechar es of volunteer cavalry corps, Mr. BEIINAL opposed the motion as extravagant and unnecessary. A discussion ensued, in which Mr. Clivc, Lord Pal- merston, Mr. ,1. P. Grant, Lord Milton, Mr. F. Palmer, Sir W. De Crcspigny, Mr. Brougham, and Mr. Hume, took part. Sir R. WILSON said, that ifthe Government prac- tised conciliation towards tbe people, they might save ihe expence of volunteer corps, but, instead of doing so, they pursued measures, some of which, if persevered in, would almost make resistance a duty ( hear, and cries of order). He would abide by what he said. The Govern- ment was proceeding ill a vicious ciicle, it raised cotps under the pretext of keeping down disturbance, and it laid on taxes to support those corps, which were increas- ing that distress, which was the existing cause of discon- tent. Mr. HUME followed in support of the last speaker, and accused the Ministers of having, by their emissaries, fomented disturbances in the country, and charged some official jiersonages with having encouraged ihe infamous practices of Franklin ( hear, hear') lie also said, that the placard w hich led to the dis, rders at Glasgow was sent down from London for the purpose, and that it was only yesterday that he heard of an active emissary, a new Oliver, whom it may be necessary, at an early opportu- nity to expose, to shame not a man of that description, but his employers—( bear, hear 1) Mr. I?. BATH URSTwasiiidignant at the charge made by the Hon. Member ; he defied him to prove it. He said it had no foundation in fact ; and he w- as unfounded and unjustified in asserting it. Mr. HUME, in explanation, recapitulated the facts already before the public respecting the apprehension of Franklin, his liberation by the Magistrates of Bow Sticet, and the refusals of the Home Office to issue a reward for his apprehension, until eight day's had elapsed, which gave him time to escape ( hear, hear !) lie appealed to every man of common sense for the rational conclusion which such facts warranted, and asked if it was possible that Lord Sidmouth's Office should be unacquainted with Franklin and his treasonable designs ( hear !) Mr. BATH Ult ST, in explanation, said, that all the Hon. Gentleman had stated was mere suspicion. Lord MILTON a iuded to the part which Oliver had taken in stirring up the people to seditious acts, and asked, whether instructions had not been sent to the Magistrates of the West Riding of York not to apprehend him ? ' This connection between the Secretary of State and Oliver gave colour to other charges of a similar nature. Mr. BATHURST said that Oliver was certainly em- ployed by Government ( cheers from the Opposition), but only to ascertain the designs of the disaffected, and not to foment them. The LORD ADVOCATE followed on the same side, and contended that the famous placard of Glasgow had been written and printed in Scotland. Sir R. WILSON explained his expression as to the people having a right, in certain cases, to resistance ; and said he only stated the doctrine recognised in the first of William and Mary ( hear, hear, !) Mr. J. 1\ G RANT stated, that he had much reason to believe that the placard at Glasgow was not written or printed in Scotland, and said the ringleaders in the dis- turbance which took place in consequence were unknown, and utter strangers to the infatuated people who followed them. Mr. MONTE IT II said that they had proof of the pla- cards having been printed in Glasgow, and contended for the necessity of keeping up a force of yeomanry after the transactions which had taken place. Mr. BROUGII AM denied that the Hon. Member for Aberdeen had made such a ridiculous charge against the Government, as that of sending down placards with a view to spread disaffection in the manufacturing districts. Hu charge was that they employed spies clumsily and in- cautiously, and with an anxiety for information, and that those spies did engage in the , promotion of treasonable practices. lie would admit that the connection of Frank- lin with the Government was not proved, but it led to violent suspicion when coupled with those of Oliver and Edwards, both of whom were connected with Govern- ment. He did not soy that Government employed them to do as they had done, but that they shewed such an over anxiety for information as suggested to these persons the expediency of making work for themselves where they did not find it. Ti e impunity of these was an encourage- j ment to others to trend in the same steps. Mr. WELLESLEY POLE, with a considerable de- ! gree of warmth, entered into a defence ofthe Adminis- j tration against what he considered the insinuations of the ; Learned Gentleman. If he intended to insinuate that they had employed such an infamous wretch as Franklin . to act as he was accused of having acted, the insinuation was base, false, and foul. It was disingenuous in any man to say that lie did not suspect the Government, and j yet endeavour to lead the country into a belief that he '• did. Such conduct was not candid or manly. Mr. BROUG II AM said, that as the Committee had j listened to the scandalous charges which the- Right Hon. } Gentleman had dared to bring against him, he was sure j they would permit liirn to reply tee, which drowned the voice of the Speaker.) After mutual explanations, it. was arranged that the allowance to tiie ha If pay'officers, upon which Mr. Hume has some important statement to submit, without mean- ing to object to the amount, should be postponed till Wednesday. Tuesday, April 17. Mr. LTNDSAY* presented a petition from the Magis- trates of Dundee, complaining of a petition previously pre- sented to the House by certain individuals, charging them with malversation A denying the charge, and urging their claim to lie heard by Counsel against that petition. Tbe petition was read, and referred to the select Committee on Scotch burghs. Petitions in favour of reform in Parliament were pre- sented from the following places, viz: — Northampton, Tavistock, Devonshire, Plymouth, Huntingdon. Boston, Ely, Arlesford, Suffolk, Cumberland, Nottingham, and the borough of Southwark. PARLIAMEN TARY REFORM. Mr. LAMB TON rose, pursuant to notice, to call the attention of the House to the subject of Parliamentary re- fer v. The necessity of reform was apparent from the state of the table. He was almost then tempted to take the sense of the House, from th J small number on the oppo- si e benches. Ipthat was meant as an insult 011 himself, he treated it wi. h contempt ; but if meant for the cause, he trusted that circumstance would awaken the attention of the people of England. On the opposite bench, he only < aw tiie Right Honourable Twins, ( the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer and Mr. Bat/ urst) the representatives ofthe oyster dredgers of Harwich.—( a laugh ) — lie was aware of a spirit of discontent stalking abroad, winch would not now be allayed by. promises that had so often been broken. About twonty or thirty years back, the lower classes l ad been remarkable for apathy, and for a blind submission to the will of their supeiiors. But now things called for amelioration and concession. At present there was a na- tional debt of .£ 850,000,000, a sinking fund that was but a name; a standing army that had been the jealousy of our ancestors, but vvas none to us. Tbe jails were crow- ded' With criminals, and almost every day teemed with executions. Such vvas the state of things, that it had been stated last night in the House that the country was only in the first year of domestic peace. Nor was there any thing in our foreign policy to console us for domestic disgrace. The abandonment of Norway, and the cession of Parga, had disgraced us in the eyes of foreign nations. All these evils were in a great degree to be ascribed to the state of the representation, which gave the Ministers of the Crown unlimited power over the deliberations of that House. It was then 110 matter of surprise that the national debt had been increased 1000 millions in the late reign. At present the theory of the Constitution was lost, as 150 individuals returned .350 Members to that House. We often heard of Members vacating their seats, as they could not vote in opposition to the patron from whom they derived their sea: s ! at the same time such a delicacy was never heard of on tiie part of those chosen by the people. To shew the state of ihe repre- sentation, a majority of that House had approved of the expedition to Waleberen. He thought, in order to re- medy that state ofthings. there should be a recurrence to triennial Parliaments, that rotten bo oughs should be disfranchised, and the right of election should be extend- ed to copyho'ders, householders, and leaseholders. In the time of Edward I i I. a Parliament was to be held once a year. The next act was that of the 17< h of Charles II. requiring that a Parliament should be held once in three years. A similar act had passed in the time of William and Mary. By the 1st of George I. the duration of Parliament was extended from three to seven years.— The Honourable Gentleman here read the protest in the House of Peers, stating, that the longer the Parliament lasted, the more liable it was to be corrupt. On the subject of that act, commonly called the septennial act, he should only say, that the benefit to the then generation was purchased at the exp? nce of posterity. By the old laws, no one could represent a county or borough unless he resided there, and was free of them. But wash meant that places now dwindled into nothing should send Mem- bers to Parliament. As to the question, whether the owners of those boroughs should have any compensation for them, as was the opinion of Mr. Pitt, be should say decidedly no ; for they would be deprived of nothing that they had a right to have. He was aware it would be difficult to make an exact proportion betwixt population and property. He should propose that householders,, copvliolders, < and leaseholders, should be admitted to vote at the election of Members of Parliament. He had drawn up the heads of a bill wh'ch was divided into three parts; the first part related to householders ; the second to copy and leaseholders ; and the third related to the re- peal of the septennial act; the Universities he should leave as they were. By a division of the country into districts, and taking one to ten for householders, each Member would have < 2500 constituents. The returning officer was to be a Magistrate, to be chosen annually by the overseers. If he acted corruptly he was liable to be imprisoned ; but upon paying a fine of L 200 he might decline to act. The poll was to be kept open eight hours, and to last six day*. There was also to be a sufficient number of booths, and the votes to be taken alphabetically. The election was to be at the principal towns. If the voter lived at the dis- tance of five miles from the place of election, he might tender his vote to the overseer. The election should com • mence on the Monday, and terminate without the inter- vention of a Sunday. Within a fortnight after the rates had been made, the overseers and the collectors of taxes were to send them in alphabetical order to the returning officers. At the same time he should propose, that those who had been in the habit of voting should retain that right for their own lives. To the county voters he should pro- pose to add all copyholders of 40s. a year. He should also propose that all leases renewable at the will of the lessee, of which 21 years were unexpired, should confer the right of voting. The duration of county elections he should fix at ten instead of fifteen days. The Hon. Mem- ber here read the form of an oath, which the candidate was to take at ihe poll, and afterwards at, the table of the House of Commons. He should also propose to disqualify those who had offices abroad, such as Ambassadors and naval and military officers. He should not now move for leave to bring in the bill ; but should move that the House should resolve itself into a Committee, to take into consi- deration the state of the representation. By voting for- that Committee, no man \\. ho voted for it was thereby pledged to any ulterior proceeding. The bill was only to extend to England and Wales ; but, should the bill suc- ceed, which he was not sanguine enough to believe, it could easily be extended to Scotland and Ireland. lie should conclude by moving, that the House resolve itself into a Committee ofthe whole House, to take into con- sideration the state ofthe representation. Mr. S. W HITB RE A I) seconded the motion. He was impelled to come forward by the call of duty. If report spoke true, there were members in that House. who- could not state the means by which thev had been returned. The House seemed to be in the situation of a female with whom a man might take any liberty, except that of telling her of her frailty. He did not mean to say, that a reform in Par- liament would redress all the grievances of the people ; but it would be the first step to that end. No doubt could exist as to the power of Parliament to extend the elective franchise ; and he believed there vvas as little doubt of the expediency. Mr. WILMOT had no fears that the House would consent to the sweeping alterations in the Constitution proposed by the Honourable Gentleman. The distress of the country was owing to the long war in which we had been engaged ; but during that war tlie country had gone completely along with the Government of that day. The people ofthe country had been told that universal suffrage and annual Parliaments were their right, and on that ac- count, and not from considerations of expediency, they had come as suitors to the bar of that House. If no cir- cumstances called on the country to make exertions above iis present scale, the distress of the country would syon disappear. Mr. HOBHOUSE argued in favour of the motion, and proceeded to point out the different numbers of which the House had at different periods been composed. In • the reign of Henry VI. the number of representatives was only. 300; Henry VIII, added .37 to the number ; Q. Elizabeth also added to the number ; and James I. de- ! creed, that Westminster and the University should send \ Members. He also contended that the mode, of election 1 and the duration of Parliamentsliad been changed ; there- i fore, those who supported the present proposition were ; not innovators. Ail his Hon. Friend and he desired was. ; to return to that form which Parliament originally bore, i The Hon, Gentleman then proceeded to take a review" of tlie manner in which the House cf Commons wan at present" constituted, and to point out the influence used in returning Members, and contended, that, as at pre- sent constituted, with a majority, returned by 71 Peers and 91 Commoners, it did not represent tbe people. By ancient records it was clear that we were entitled to annual Parliaments ; and he now called on all reformers to unite in one effort to obtain sortie reform. He was convinced, in d free Parliament, the prerogatives of t he Throne would find support, and the peopleVliberties protection. 1 Mr. H. TWISS objected to the motion. He denied that the majority ofthe House w? is returned by a Borough Oligarchy. Only 157 . Members were returned tor boroughs, and that number bore but a small proportion to the body of Parliament. Sir R. WILSON was in favour of the motion. The people had a right to such change and siieh improvement in their Government as changes of circumstances, im- provement in society, increased knowledge, and increased property required. Mr. ABERCROMBY wished Tor a revision of the present system ; he would adopt the proposition of a Noble Friend of his ( Lord J. Russell). With respect to the influence of the Government in the House, it had in- creased, and would continue to increase, owing to the patronage given to Ministers in the collection of the re- venue, & c. and, as a balance to that influence, he was anxious to- see the right of election taken from decayed bodies and given to populous towns, still preserving our present form of election. Mr. F. PALMER supported the motion. Mr. S. WO RTLEY agreed, that many Members were returned by influence ; yet he was ready to contend, that only in its present state could the House carry on its func- tions. The rotten boroughs, he contended, were a part of the Constitution* and were originally intended to give the Crown influence in the House. Mr. V A NSI I'TAR I'moved to adjourn the debate, as there was no prospect of its being terminated that night. The debate was accordingly adjourned. Wednesday 1 April, 1 8. STEAM* ENGINES. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR brought forward his motion respecting the measure to abate the nuisance by steam engines, aud to compel them to consume their own smoke. He proposed to make some alteration of the powers of the Courts, although he did not desire to touch the principle of the law of nuisances ; but in doing this he had no intention of interfering with the working of" mines. He only contemplated to control engines worked by steam. At present, Liverpool, Leeds, & c. were li- terally buried in smoke. He concluded with moving for leave to bring in a bill. Mr. SCARLET seconded the motion. After some observations from Sir M. W. Ridley, Mr. Mr. Grenfell, Mr. Wortlev. Mr. Curwen. Mr. Alder- man Wood, and Mr. M. A. Taylor, in reply, the motion was agreed to. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. Mr. LAMBTON ruoved, that the order of the day bs read for the resumption of the adjourned debate respecting reform in Parliament. Agreed to, and the order was } read. Mr. WYVILL thought that the public good demand- ed that the House should be reformed. He was there- fore favourable to the Committee. Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW declared the proposed scheme of reform most obnoxious. It would go to disfranchise many most excellent individuals. It had been the prac- tice of persons to advert to a tissue of misrepresentations, circulated about 1793, stating, that certain noblemen pat- ronised and returned Members for certain places. That paper was most mischievous. For instance, it said that the Duke of Devonshire returned a Member for Derby- shire, and the Duke of Bedford one for Bedfordshire.— He should oppose the motion, because he vvas against disfranchising any man whatever. Mr. SYKES said he should givv his vote forthe Com- mittee. because he wished the subject to be farther con- sidered. The Constitution said that the people were en- titled to be represented. He was only anxious that the House should express the senti. nents ofthe people. The Member for Yorkshire ( Mr. Wortley) seemed to think that the House of Commons should represent the express image of the wishes of the Ministers.—( Hear, hear)— His ( Mr. Sykes's) opinion was, that the House did not represent the wishes of ( he people. Many recent votes proved the fact, particularly those respecting the Queen, the army estimates, & c.—( Hear.)— There were many portions of the plan proposed which did not certainly meet with hi* approbation. He wished to allow tho countica fifty Members, and fifty more for populous places now unrepresented. He avowed himself to be a reformer, and would support the cause until it was ultimately suc- cessful. Mr. BURNETT, of Wiltshire, felt himself bound to support the motion for going into a Committee. There were some parts of the plan to which he objected. If Ministers were to retire whenever they were beaten— if t'. iat were to be deemed the Constitutional doctrine, he could not see the use of the existence of any House of Commons.—( Hear, hear.) Captain MABERLY said, that, if they sanctioned the motion, he should in some degree approve of the principle of the plan which had been avowed. He ad- mitted he was a reformer, but he was one of the most moderate and temperate kind. He was favourable to disfranchising decayed boroughs, and for transferring their privileges to populous places not now represented. That reform would be safe, and would tend to conciliate the people. The CHANCELLOR ofthe EX GIIE QUE It said, there was scarcely atvl jon. Member that had spoken who supported the whole of the proposition of the Hon. Mem- ber for Durham. He admired the temper, the wisdom, and ability with which that Hon. Member introduced the measure, for he should at all times prefer a clear and lucid proposition, than a vague and indistinct resolution. It was undoubtedly true, that a number of petitions had been presented, and he was not disposed to speak with disrespect either ofthe petitions or the petitioners; but he could not consent to the present proposition. Some of those persons complain of taxation, others of alleged grievances, others of agricultural, others of commercial distress ; but. none of them had any connection with the cause of Reform ; none of* them could be remedied by Reform, because they were inconsistent with each other. Therefore it did not appear that the demand for Reform arose from any defect iti the system of representation, but partly from an idea that Reform could remove their dis- tresses, and amongst a great many from a spirit of in- novation. The public press, too, had a great influence on this question, for with a good deal of sound argument it mixes up misrepresentation, which is calculated to mis- lead and delude the people. He thought that the more unrestrained the press was on the proceedings of Parlia- ment and the conduct of public men, the greater the check 011 the influence of the executive power. But this was sometimes carried too far. However, on the whole, he thought there was more good t ham evil prod need From it. He thought we could not do better than leave alone the system under which the country had £ 0 " long flourished. He thought that resolving the House into a Committee on that question could answer 110 purpose but that of agi- tation. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. Mr. CANNING then presented himself, lint from the noise that prevailed we could not hear distinctly his observations. We understood the Right Hon. Gentle- man to have said that in the absence of those individuals 011 both sides who generally took a part on that question, he should yield to the disposition that seemed to prevail, and not detain the House. The gallery was then cleared for a division. The numbers were— For the Committee, ... ... ... 43 Against it, 55 Majority against going into a Committee, 12 The other orders of the day were then read. On the motion for the second reading of the Here- ditary Revenue of Scotland Bill, Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON rose, and after a few observations requested- that before the Bill was read a second time, the necessary information should be laid before the House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to make a few observations, when Mr. LAMB TON rose to order. He said he observ- ed a smile 011 the countenances of some of the Members of the House, which seemed to be directed at him. In- deed if vvas impossible to mistake it. He should like to see some one of these Gentlemen have the manliness openly to avow their • sentiments. The SPEAKER said, th.. t really he thought ihe course pursued by the Hon. Member quite disorderly.— It was most certainly the duty of the House, if they dis- covered any thing of the kind the II011. Member had al- luded to, immediately to put it down. Mr. LAMBTON fcaid. in explanation, that some short time since be retired to take some refreshment, which he had dot done the whole of the Vast evening 5 and to his great surprise his Hon. Friend the Member for Middlesex ( Mr. Whitbread) came ami told him what lin4 occurred. It was most unexpected that in the short time he was absent, a division could have taken place under such circumstances. He particularly observed the Mem- bers for Chichester and Londonderry smiling. The SPEAKER interposed. He put it again to the consideration of the H « t; n. Member, whether it wou!< j( tend to tho dignity and decorum of the House, on liotl; of which jjoints he knew he was sensibly alive, to pursue the question further. If the House sivv that the view- lie ( the Speaker) bad taken of it was correct, be hoped they would support him. But he entreated tile Hon. Mem- ber to let the matter drop. Mr. LAM15TON said, undoubtedly he must bow to the decision ofthe Speaker. But he must always lament that it should go forth to ihe jiublic, that a question of such vital importance should have been disposed of with- out getting that full and mature discussion to which it was entitled.—( Hear.) After some farther discussion, the conversation drop- ped. Oil the motion of Lord A. HAMILTON7, it was ordered that an humble Address lie presented to his Mi- jesty for a return of the Crown Revenues in Scotland. Thursday, April If). SCOTCH REFOIIM. Lord A. HAMIL TON postponed to the ! Oth of May the motion of which he had given notice, with respeet t>> County Representation in Scotland, in consequence of a communication fro- n several of his friends, that it would he inconvenient to them to attend so early aftei the holi- days as the 1st of May, for which this notice was originally fixed. Any explanation which Gentlemen might desire as to the nature and object of his motion, hut which he hoped would not be looked for at present, he sh. ntid be fully ready to give as soon as requited after the recess.— Tbe Noble Lord took this opportunity of moving that the Petitions 011 the Table with respect to the Representation or Municipal Election for Scotch Ilurglis should be re- ferred to tbe Committee upon that subject. Ordered ac- cordingly. GENERAL REFORM. Mr. G. BENN KT gave notice, that 011 the 9th of May, he would move certain Resolutions for extending the right of Election to towns containing large populations. SICILY. Lord WM. BENTINCK. gave notice of a motion for the 8th of May, for the production of certain Fajiers con- nected with Sicily. TIMBER DUTIES. Mr. WALLACE moved the third reading of the tim- ber duties hill. Mr. GUHNEV objected to the scale of the duties. Mr. MONCK said tliebest thing for the country wouM be, that the bill should he inoperative. The bill was a tax on the whole community for the benefit of a particular class. Mr. PHILLIPS thought a scale might be adopted more productive to the revenue than tile scale in the bill. The scale of duties should he from 7, 14, and 21 feet. Mr. WALLA CE said that the measure had arisen from the state of the trade, and his object was to bring the Canadian and Baltic trade into fair competition. ThtU lie conceived to be due to the colonies; and at 110 distant period, he hoped, would materially contribute to the in- . crease of their trade. The hill was then read a third time " and passed. The other orders were then disposed of, and the House adjourned, at nine o'clock, to Monday se'eunight. MINORITY ON & M. LAMBTON'S MOTION FOR A REFOK. U IN' I'A It LI A M ENT. Allen, J. II.

T.— The Duke de Richelieu transact- ed business with the King. The Motitieur of Friday contains the telegraphic ac- count ofthe Austrians having passed toe 1' esino on the 8th. The GozeUetla France states the intelligence in the fo lowing terms : — " A courier extraordinary airived this morning ot Paris, which, it is said, has brought tbe news of the. emrance of the Austriaus into Alessandria and Turin. '." I'e. e troops took possession of those citics on the f> th. in the name, and as the Allies of the King of Sardinia Ac- cording to a Convention, the Piedmontese troops divide the duty with the Austriaus. This operation has met with little opposition." The King, Victor Emanuel, has quitted Nice to repair to his capital. Independent of the Russian army which has received orders lo march towards Italy, it appears certain that the Emjieror Alexander has also ordered the formatioa , f.- j second army, considered as a reserve, and which will he formed in Volhinia, by the troops cantoned in the military colonies of the interior of Russia. TURIN, April 9— This night the folWui" Declaration was affixed to tiie walk in the city : PROVISIONAL JUNTA TO THE CITIZENS. " The troops commanded by Count de Latour, In con- junction with the Austrian troops, are approaching tlie capital. The Junta which has employed it- elf w ith sue ce- i3 in the preservation of the public peace, and in guard- ing against the evils of anarchy and civil war, now confides the care of good order, and the tranquillity ofthe citv, to the municipal authorities. The inhabitants are informed, for their satisfaction, that the citadel is delivered over to the national " tiard. ( Signed) _ » MARENTINI, President" " Given at Turin, April 6, Iflfil. CHAMBERY April 10.— An cstafette ct'ftprUclieil from Turin the 9th instant, litis Iiroinrlit to , M. Count AmJezeno a letter, from which the, following extract vvas immediately affixed to the walls in the public places of the citv : " The number of the rebels was 5,000. Yesterday ( the 8th), the Austri ans entered tbe Piedniontese terri- tory, and encountered the rebels in front of Novara. single regiment of Hullans proved sufficient to dispero this troop, which appears to have been incapable of mak- ing a stand, which perfectly exposes the state of anarchy.- that subsisted among them. " In one hour the citadel of Turin will be evacuated : the Junta is dissolve!', and every thing announces that in three days the royal authority will be re- established in the whole of Piedmont, as it has been preserved in Savoy, by your wisdom and firmness. APRIL II.— On the information that the rebels, to the amount of 5,000 men, had left Alexandria to. advance to Novara, and to endeavour to induce the roval troops to desert, General Count Hulnia passed the Tesino on the night of ths 7th at the bead of the Austrian troops, and proceeded also to Novara. While the rebels foolishly flattered themselves that t their sciicnvDS would prove siicccssfiil, they sixWcnIy found a corps of Piedmontese infantry marching upon them, and at the same time the Hulans ap- peared. The rebels were posted on the high road with their eavalrv in front, but on the first movement of the Hulans to charge, the cavalry fled with such rapidity that thev could not be overtaken, notwith - standing that they at their head were the first instiga- tors of the revolt, the persons who had chiefly contri- buted to corrupt and seduce the troops. These- men had so completely and so shamefully lost all Self possession, that they scarce halted until thev arrived at Turin, thus leaving their soldiers be- hind them. By ten in the evening they had rode 20 leagues, and thought only of the quickest and most certain means of escaping from the kingdom. Never did a more graceful route dishonour troops, or rather their leaders. On the 10th the advanced guard of the royal army entered Turin, and a part occupied the citadel- General Latour arrived two hours afterwards, with the rest ofthe troops. He intends to march to- morrow to Alexandria, if the news ofthe surrender or dispersion of the garri- son do not arrive during this night, as there is rea- son to believe it may. FRANKFORT, April 10.— A new loan is spoken of here, which is ahout to be negociated on account of Austria, or of tiie Neapolitan Government. It is this circumstance probably which prevented the Austrian funds from experiencing a considerable rise after the news of the entry of the Austrians into Naples. Since the accession of the present Elector of Hesse Cassel, the censorship is much less rigorous. The journals ofthe Electorate enjoy greater liberty, and mav now give the news from Spain, Portugal, and Italy, and report what passes in the Assembly ofthe Cortes. Count Berostorff, Minister for foreign Affairs, is on his return from Laybach to Berlin. Lord Strangford, Ambassador from England to the Sublime Porte, arrived on the 20th of February at Constantinople. PARIS April 18.— An ordonnance ofthe King, dated the 4th inst. calls into service 40,000 men of the class of 1820. The time of their being placed on active service will be hereafter fixed. PERPIGXAN, April 6.—( Extract of a private letter.)— The news ofthe conclusion of the affair at Naples has caused considerable agitation in Catalo- nia. It seems that this news, brought bv a Neapo- litan Colonel and a member of the ex- parliament of Naples, was speedilv made known by the Journals. Those who affect great enthusiasm for the new order of things, seized by a sudden panic, resolved that, ' i o in order to ensure the constitutional system in Spam, it was necessary to seize upon those who disapprove it. A list of individuals, stigmatized with the ap- pellation of Servile, was immediately drawn up, and their arrest was demanded ofthe local authorities.— This arbitrary, illegal, and anti- constitutional mea- sure was instantly rejected ; but the fermentation having become extreme the magistrates yielded, and in the night of the 3d and 4th tiie houses of the in- habitants were violated, and more than twenty per- rons arrested, including General the Baron d'Eroles, General Farfield, the Bishop of Barcelona, the first Vicar- General, several Canons, and Generals Four- lias, Campbell, Roxa, and several other respecta- ble inhabitants. General Fotirnasi who obtained leave to retire into France, arrived here this day.— Tlie fermentation is not calmed at Barcelona, and every thing affords reason to think that it will extend to other provinces, and to Madrid. It is said that the Bishops of Tarragona, Tortosa, and Vich have also been arrested. r 110If GERMAN PAPERS. HANOVER, April 7.— III consequence of the po- sitive information, brought bv the last English Mail, concerning the visit of his Majesty our King to his German dominions, in the beginning of August, the Royal Authorities were yesterday furnished with the necessary instructions. This city will be un- commonlv brilliant and lively in consequence of his Majesty's presence. The Prince of Cambridge, son of Ins Royal Highness the Governor- General is still indisposed, in consequence of his late attack of the scarlet fever. HUNGARY, March 26.— Private accounts from Jnssy, in Moldavia, contains the following details : The plan for throwing off the Turkish yoke is now ripe among the Greek nation in Turkey. The plan, formed in secret societies, extends to Thessaly, Ma- cedonia, Servia, Albania, Morea, Romclia, and the islands ofthe Archipelago. Every one able to bear arms is called upon, and large funds are prepar- ed. At Jassv, after divine service on the 11th, three standards were consecrated, to which the oath was taken with the greatest enthusiasm. These standards are all tri- coloured, black, white, and red, as well as the cockade. One of these stan- dards has upon it a cross, with the device, " In hoc signo vinces," the emblem and motto which, ac- cording to tradition, appeared in the Heavens to Constantine the Great, before a battle on which de- pended the consolidation of his power, and which in- duced him to assume the Christian religion. The events in Moldavia and Wallachia are con- nected with this great plan. Ali Pacha is said to have professed the Christian religion, and to have assumed the name of Alexander ( according to other accounts, that of Constantine). and to have joined the Alliance. An account from Brodv, of the 16th of March, after a statement ofthe events in Wallachia and Mol- davia, savs, " Thousands of Greeks repair daily, unmolested, from the Russian territory, to Prince Ypsilanti, who had his head- quarters at Kischenew, iu Russian Moldavia, on the frontiers of Turkish Moldavia, and seems to have undertaken every tiling out of his own head without any higher autho- rity." ( How severely this has been disapproved of bv the Emperor Alexander is already known. So much is certain, that for the present no ships can sail from Odessa.) A private letter, inserted in the Milan Gazette, states, that the total loss of the Austrians, in the campaign against Naples, was 7 killed and 50 wounded ! Not an Austrian was taken prisoner NAPLES, March 30 By a decision of the Ge- neral Board of Police, the printing or publication < f journals, pamphlets, Sec. will only only be hcnce- foWard allowed under virtue of special authority.

The provisional Government has ordered tlie sus- pension of the forced loan of three millions. LEGHORN, April 3.—- An affair has happened here within the last ten days which has excited a great sensation, and created no inconsiderable alarm among the English residents in this port. On Sa- turday week Mr. Peel, ( nephewto Mr. Peel, late See- retarvfor Ireland), who has been established as a mer- chant here since 1814, received an order from the po- lice, signed by the Governor, toquit the town of Leg- horn and the Tuscan territory in twenty- four hours. Mr. Peel being not aide to learn the cause, proceeded to Florence, where he applied to Lord Burghersh, hoping through him to obtain redress. Failing in that he returned to Leghorn, where he had not been more than a dav when he received, a peremp- torv order to quit Tuscany in twelve hours. Upon this last occasion in the course of conversation with the Governor, his Excellency asked him if lie had not been sometimes incautious in speaking on political topics, and whether he had not called the first bul- letins of the Austrian successes against .\ aples false and exaggerated statements. This let Mr. Peel at once into the secret. He himself declares, and his friends vouch for the fact, that he has always been particularly cautious ill speaking of political subjects. HAMBURGH, April 11.— A communication de- serving of credit, dated Brodv, 23d March, has been communicated to us, stating, that General Count Langeron, Governor of Odessa, had called a meeting of the merchants, and assured them that thev might continue their shipments, notwithstand- ing the events in Moldavia. Reports of troubles in Constantinople, where the Greeks were said to have stormed the arsenal, seem to merit little credit ; but a Greek army appears to be advancing towards that capital. JASSY. March 19.— Prince Ypsilanti has march- ed with a well equipped corps, stated to amount to 20,000 Greeks Moldavians, and Arnauts, with fifteen pieces of cannon, and has issued a Proclama- tion of great length. The military preparations are continued with all diligence by Prince Suzzo, who remains behind ; and if money be considered as a chief requisite, this was in abundance. Tranquilli- ty is fully restored. The number of Turks massac- red in the first commotion is said to be forty, mostly of the poorest class. The Turks who were at Bo- duschaui, have taken refuge in Russia. From the LONDON GAZETTE,* April 21. Admiralty Office, April 2. The King has been pleased to appoint Thomas Harvey, Esq. C. 15.

The accounts in the French Papers are contradictory, in several respects, but there is little reason for doubting that the main facts are true, though perhaps not to the extent stated. We fear that the Austrians will succeed in overturn- ing the new order of things in Piedmont, as they have done in. Naples, and the Piedniohtese must renounce for the present the idea of living under constitutional laws. It would appear that the con- stitutional party have not been in sufficient force to to prevent the advance of their opponents.— Morn. Ckron. April 17- The Austrians have thus succeeded in restoring arbitrary power in Naples and Piedmont for the benefit of themselves, for the Sovereigns of these countries will be now entirely dependent on them. Austria will now be in military possession of all Italy from north to south. Already our merchants begin to feel this ; for Mr. Peel, a nephew of Sir Robert Pee', established a- a merchant in Leghorn since 1814, received orders'to quit the Tuscan territory in 24 hours, for merely expressing a suspicion of the accuracy ofthe Austrian Bulletins from Naples. It was hardly possible that a measure like this, which may involve a man in instant ruin, should not fill all the British merchants settled there with appre- hensions ; and accordingly a Memorial was, it ap- pears, presented by them to the Tuscan Govern- ment on the subject. They must now, however, make up their minds to abundance of insults from Austria, and " to breathe their murmurs low,' if they wish to avoid distress and ruin. That power will not soon forget the language in which English wri- ters and English legislators have spoken of her tyran- nical system in Italv, and will lose no opportunity of revenging herself on us. But our ministerial writers view all this with com- placency, and some of them even call out for the persecution of those who have endeavoured to im- prove the condition of their countrymen !— Ibid. The result ofthe discussions on the Roman Ca- tholic Bill ought to convince the numerous body who are affected by the existing restraints, that they have no chance of deliverance until a thorough change shall take place in his Majesty's Councils. It is with this Bill, as well as with Reform in the repre- sentation of Parliament, and with retrenchment in the public expenditure, as it was with the Slave Trade, Tory Ministers may allow the questions to be argued— they may affect candour on the subject to gain credit for moderation, but until there shall be Statesmen in power who distinctly declare that their continuaneein office shall depend on their carry- ing these points, they never will be carried. If Lord Londonderry had used the same decisive lan- guage to his friends on tiie Roman Catholic Bill that he did on the Malt Tax, the Bill would have passed both Houses. True bills have been found by the Grand Jury at the Middlesex Sessions against Robert War- dell, the younger, editor of the Statesman news- paper, on two indictments; John Thehvall, edi- tor of the Champion ; Patrick Kelleher, editor of the Real John Bull; and Thomas Dolbv. The London Grand Jury have also returned true bills against Mary Ann Carlile and J. L. Turner, all for the publication of Seditious libels. The whole of these indictments were preferred by the Consti- tutional Association for opposing the progress of disloyal and seditious principles. Bagguley., Drummond, and Johnston, were dis- charged from Chester Castle, on Thursday last, after entering into recognizances for their future behaviour, 111 5001. each, with sureties for 1001. each, for two years— Bagguley's beard is nearly eight inches long. The Marquis of Londonderry, it is said, will be re elected to a seat ill the House of Commons for Orford, in Suffolk, on the interest of the Marquis of Hereford. We have heard from the most respectable autho- rity that Messrs. Christie and Frail have enclosed, with ( he greatest delicacy, five hundred pou'nds each to the widow of the late John Scott, Esq. as a proof of their deep regret for the late unfortunate circum- stance. It was sent, we understand, anonymously as a tribute from two friends.— True Briton. The Report of the Agricultural Committee is ex- pected to be laid before the House of Commons im- mediately after the Easter recess.

TRIESTE, March 25.— An Austrian vessel has been chased into this port from Lessa, by a Neapolitan squad- ron, which captured on 22d inst. three Austrian brigs near Lessa. NAPLES, March 24.— A decree ofthe 19th inst. orders the raising ofthe embargo on Austrian vessels, and the restitution of merchandise which had been seized. The Countess of Bute of Glasgow, from Kingston to Montego Bay, Jamaica, was lost on Sandy Reef Key 8th February. Crew saved.

The Belle Rose, Joy. from Marseilles to Rouen, was totally lost 13th inst. off Havre. The master drowned ; part of the cargo saved. NEVIS, March 17. — The piratical system is still carried on by vessels from St. Bartholomew's and its vicinity to a very great extent; no less than eight vessels ( one of them a ship) fitted out by a person styling himself Com- modore Daniell, and under Artigas' flag, having lately sailed on cruises. Two English vessels, bound from Barb'adoes to Porto Rico, have been plundered ofthe money which they had on board to purchase cattle. A brig was lately carried into Five Islands, and after taking out. the cargo, was burnt ; and the trade between the Spa- nish Main, St. Thomas's, and these ' Islands, is greatly interrupted by these marauders. HOLYHEAD, April 15.— A boat has just landed from the Skerries, and in for ms, that last night at two i. si. a vessel must have been on the Cole Rock, as a light, and sometimes two or three lights, were seen about an hour stationary, then all at once went out. It is probable some vessel went clown there. Fortrose, 1st Wednesday Fin don, do. Cupar of Angus, the Thurs. before Easter Melross, do.

CIRCUIT INTELLIGENCE. The Circuit Court of Justiciary was opened at Perth on Saturday the 14th inst. by Lord Suecoth, who was joined on Monday by Lord Hermand. James Murray was brought to the bar, accused of writ- ing threatening letters to the Duke of Atholl. The pri- soner, a tall elderly looking man, pleaded Guilty, and was sentenced to seven years transportation beyond seas. Three young men, Beveridge, Fleming, and Wilson, pleaded Guilty to various acts of theft, and were sentenc- ed to 14 years transportation. Janet Anderson, for exposing her infant child of six weeks old, pleaded Guilty, and was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment iu the jail of Dundee. Isobel Lamb pleaded Guilty of concealing her preg- nancy. Sentence, imprisonment in Dundee jail for six months. Mary Duncanson, for theft, banished Scotland for seven years ; and Catharine Cameron, for tke same crime, to be imprisoned 18 months. Stewart Jamieson, a young boy, pleaded Guilty to several charges of theft, and was sentenced to 14 years transportation. James Paterson, from Lochlee, w'as indicted foran alleg- ed assault on the person of Margaret Crichton or Gill, and pleaded Not Guilty. After the examination of witnesses, the Jury returned a verdict of Not Proven, when the pannel was accordingly dismissed simpliciter from the bar. George IIally and Robert Burns, charged with an as- sault. on Robert Stirling, Dunblane. Haliy pleaded Not Guilty, and Burns Guilty in part. The Jury found both pannels Guilty, but recommended them to the clemency of the Court. Hally was sentenced tobe imprisoned for nine, and Burns for six months. APRIL 16-— David Luuan and David Duncan were in- dicted for houscbreaki ng, theft, aud robbery; but in consequence of an informality in the service of tlie in- dictment. the diet was deserted ; ir,- j loco el tempore. . Mr. Ivory rose to call the attention of the Court to a circumstance of considerable importance affecting the pro- ceedings of Courts of law in general. He had found in this case, nor was this Ihe first instance that had occurred in the course of his practice, considerable difficulty in ob- taining information from the witnesses cited on the part ofthe Crown— one man in this case had indeed refused it altogether. He hoped, therefore, their Lordships would correct this mistake, so prejudicial to judicial pro- ceedings, by an assurance from the Bench, that a person cited as a witness on a trial is at full liberty to impart all the circumstances bearing upon the case that are con- sistent with his knowledge. Their Lordships fully coincided in the opinion express- ed by the Learned Counsel, and maintained, that wit- nesses were not only at liberty lo satisfy the inquiries1 of the Counsel for the pannel as to the facts they have wit- nessed connected with the case upon which they are to give evidence, but that it. is for this purpose, in an es- pecial manner, that the prisoner is served with a list of witnesses, and that it is only in this way the Counsel for the pannel can prepare exculpatory proof. Duncan M'Ewen and William White, charged with an assault. The- pannels pleaded guilty, and were sentenc- ed to 12 months imprisonment in the jail of Perth. George Ralph, indicted for theft and housebreaking, pled guilty, and the Depute- Advocate having restricted the libel, he was banished for 14 years beyond sea.. John Yule, accused of theft, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to 6 months imprisonment. Alexander Webster, James Web- ter, and Thomas \ Gray, accused of assiult, pie ( led guilty, and were con- demned to 12 months impiii. nmeut and banishment from Scotland for 5 years. James Thornton, charged with theft by means cf house- breaking. pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to transporta- tion beyond seas for 1- 1 years. In the ease of John I" wen, accused of theftand house- breaking, ihe Jury gave in a written verdict, finding, hv a majority of voices, the libel not proven, Ebeiuzer Brown was indicted for the murder of Win Henderson, in Ketherfon of Dunfermline. After iI'd examination of witnesses, the Jury returned a vCrdi- ct of culpable homicide, and ihe prisoner was condemned to 7 years transportation beyond seas. ' 1 Avail. 1 7.— Peter . Wallace, John Robertson. Jolid Shaw, and Wiliinm Smart, were charged with- assab 12 and roblrery. After a long trial, the' Jury- returned .1' verdict, finding the prisoners guilty, art and jihrt^ of theft/ The ' prisoner's Counsel moved, that no ^ entehec cotlfd follow this finding, as the Jury had brought a vl- rdict fo a crime not libelled in tire indietmeht. Lofd Heriwand remitted the case to the High Court of Justiciary. John Kerr, accused on a charge of raisin;?; and carrying away a dead body from the burial place Of Old Scone ; but in consequence of an error'in the citation of two w itnesses, the diet was deserted, and the prisoner dismiss- ed from the bar. On Monday last, the members of the Relief Congregation, College Street, met for the purpose of electing an assistant and . successor to the liev. Mr. Smith, Minister of that chapel, who has for sonic time been prevented from performing - the duties of his office by severe indisposition. Four . gentlemen were put m nomination. . On summing hp ttie votes,, there appeared, for Mr. Limont, 411; for Mr, Welch, 109; Mr. French, 7; and Mr. Ander- son, 4. Mr. Limont ' was of course declared the successful candidate. Previous to the election, an excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. MTntvre of Newlands. Her Grace the Dowager Duchess of Roxburgh having presented the Rev. John Jaffray to tho church and parish of Dunbar, on the resignation ofthe Rev. Dr. Carfrae, to whom he had been assistant for five years, the appointment has - given very general satisfaction to the parish, and on the 20th curt, he was ordained bv the Presbytery Oil Thursday the 10th curt, the Pi'esbvtery of Glasgow, indicted the Reverend William Burns, minister of Dun, to the church and parish of Kilsyth, vacant by the, death ofthe' Reverend Dr. Rennie. The Reverend Mr. Marshall, of tho High Church, Glasgow, preached and presided oil the occasion. , We learn that the boy William Moore, present- ly under sentence of dea'Ji, has just completed his thirteenth year, and that the evidence . of the fact has been transmitted to the proper quarter, accompanied with a petition in his behalf.—^ Glasgow Herald. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.— On Friday last the town, of Whitehaven was thrown into a state of ex- treme agitation, when it was generally known that the inflammable air in the colliery behind the north wall, called the William- pit, had, suddenly caught fire, carrying death and destruction to almost every living creature withm the range of its explosion.— Six men, two boys, three girls, and five horses fill victims to the. furv of ti c blast : and three more pit men were so severely scorched and wounded that, v- e sincerely regret to state, but faint hopes are enter- tained of their recovery. This shocking catastrophe we understand, is not attributable to neglect or want of' judgment on the part of the stewards or overmen, but was occasioned solely bv the impru- dence of one ofthe workmen, who, in order the more readily to find a pick which fie had mislaid, un- fortunately opened his safety- lamp ; the poor mail lived long. enough to acknowledge his error, and to repent his temerity. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE A fishing- boat belonging, to Cockenzie. while hauling her lines at the mouth of the Frith, on Monday forenoon, about eleven o'clock, during a heavv squall of wind and rain, was sunk bv a sea breaking on hoard of her, when all the crow, consisting of six men. were drowned. Several boats btlonging lo the same village were working their lines within a short dis- tance, but until the squall was over the unfortunate boat was not missed bv her companions, when one of them immediately bore down to the place where she was last seen ; not a vestage of the boat or crew, however, remained, except the hatches, a few oars, and footsp. urs, floating about. Four of the crew were fine young men. and have, left- widows and eleven children totally destitute ; the other two were old men, whose families are grown up, but their widows arc unprovided for. SINGULAR CICUMSTANCE.— A bitch belong- ing to a gentlemen in Arbroath, was given away to a gentleman, who took hei along. with him in his carriage to Dundee. She pupped in the evening of her arrival there, and brought forth four ; before morning she had them all carried back to Arbroath, a distance of more than seventeen miles. BIRTHS.

SIR. .'.••<, I am glad to find mv suggestion of last week is like to produce its intended effect, a Petition for the extension of the Royal Mercy in the case of Urnh't. Upon referring to the proper authorities for the . particulars of the case, quoted from memory, as having happened in England in the davs of ALritrn, I have In so far to correct the state- ment. Tile number of Judges executed for contravention, of the law in one year was •' Forty- four, the case alluded to, No. VI. Was that of ATHPLF, who was executed in as much as lie condemned to the death CorrtNG, not being full tweuty- bnit years of age."* In these days, that was criminal in a Judge, which, in our times, it is bis painful but. jmlindeii duty to perform. Of Itite years, so many children have suffered on ac- fcount of Bank Prosecutions, that, it is believed, tbe matter will eotne under the serious consideration of Par- liament, during the next Session.

THE following Rhymes we received some time ag° from a Correspondent in tbe country, who informs us, that be thinks he can recover many more that seem to be wanting. We give them a place, although we cannot help thinking, that great poetical licence lias been taken with matters of fact— and we find many offences against the rules of genuine poetry— as three lines, Stanza IS. ending in us : because Northern Voyages have acquired a much greater interest than in former times, and it is generally believed, that the Argonauts really did proceed to tbe Pole— or at least, to where tbe day was of six months duration. We hope our Correspondent may be successful in find- ing tbe remainder of the Manuscript, w hich we shall lay before our readers as may be in our power. ARCTIC EXPEDITION EXTRAORDINARY. I. JASOV of old as legends tell us, ( Jason you know belong'el to Greece) Set out with other mad cap fellows, In search ofthe fam'd golden Fleece. II. Tbe Bully Ili. ncui. rs had joiti'd him, C-\ STOIT and POLLUX— lads of Fancy, And Fidler ORPHEUS to remind him, Of fabled deeds that never man saw, III. In short, bis crew mi^ ht muster fifty, Vine fellows as you'd clap an eye on ; They left at home their Mates so thrifty, Their Chastily they cotrld rely on. IV. At least they thought so : for when near ay, All sailors wives were good as could be, Yet IIKKCUI. ES absent, DEJANIRA Turned out 110 better than she should be. V. They Cole'; ts reach'd without much trouble, I'd say with ease and quickly rather, MEOEA taught them bow to bubble, And fleece her unsuspecting Father. VI. She came on board, and well intended With JASON to return to Greece ; The Gods tho* otherwise were minded, And Gods we know do what they please. VII. . ICoi. us puff d their charts o'er board. And raised a furious storm quite sickening, MF. ICC'RV nail'll down their compass card— Their log stol'n, puzzled their dead leckoning. VIII. So through the Straits and B. iy of Biscay, They hurried onward belter skelter ; Tbe Spaniards thought the ship quite frisky, But little dream't they then what ail'd her, IX. If nerds must, should the devil drive, Frail mortals into fatal erring. What ship, nay more, what man alive Withstands when Gons are mischief stirring ? X. Their course then north and westward turning, They saw the country nf tbe ' leagues, { so that upon St. Patrick's morning. Cape Clear bore north, north east, five leagues, XI. And northward still the vessel hi'd, ( A North Discovery Heaven did fate her.) The crew cold Iceland's mountains spi'd. Ami mark'd fam'd Hecla's flaming crater. XII. But leaving Iceland far behind. The mariners were all perplex'd so, That JASON whispering to the wind. Said " where the devil must we nert go ?" XIII. ORTIIEUS inspir'd, then quick infnrm'd him. Whatever folks the case might say on, The Gods had thus on purpose storm'd them, To see the Folks Hyper Borean. XIV. For when to Colchis we bad hasten'd, And when tbe sacred Fleece we stole. Why then it was that we were destin'd, To go in penance to tbe Pole. XV. But fear no darkness of the niglit sirs, Should up by ice our ship Ire slror'd. The sun shall never cease to light us. For PIICEBUS has two sons on board. XVI. BCit to tbe North we on must speed us, For here we'd lose our time in staying, In faith and troth it is decreed us— 111 seven tu one w'ell see JAN MAYES.* XVI I. What though our Sea Stock's quickly wasting, And case bottles be sinking low, Let no man fear to die of fasting, Jleav'n shall provide for this brave crew, XVIII. Seals will be found upon the west ice, Fare passing good no belter near us, BACCHUS shall hasten to assist us. And water turn to Gin lo cheer us. XIX. Ilis Wine's all well enough intended, For Bacchanals, and Fawns, and Satyrs, Hut faith more potent stuff's demanded, For hardy Greenland Navigators. XX. riiaisus no oxen has to graze on, Fieids where its cliffs Spitsbergen rears, But HERCUI. ES may lay his paws on Vast numbers of white Arctic Bears. XXI.

Upon tbe present occasion, it is agreeable to find, tbat Mr. I'I. UNKETT'S Bill, passed by ihe Commons, and rejected try so small a majority in tbe House of Peers, would have been received w ith gratitude by lire great majority of Catholics in Ireland, as well as in England and Scotland ; and notwithstanding many discouraging circumstances, w e cfttmot but consider their Emancipation, at no distant period, as a probable event. More than forty years have now elapsed, since a most respectable Catholic Clergy- ' man, whose name will be long respected in Ireland, pub- lished, in answer to one of tbe malicious attacks of WESLEY ( w ho inter alia declared, that the Roman Catholic Religion did not deserve to be tolerated in Tutkey !) a statement of tbe principles of Catholics as connected with allegiance to Protestant Princes. 41 I am a Member, ( says be) of that Communion which Mr. WESLEY asperses j j in so cruel a manner, and I disclaimed on Oath in pre- ) J sence of Judge KENN, ibe creed which Mr, W. attributes : ' to me. I have been the first to unravel the intricacies j of tbe very Oath of Allegiance proposed to Roman Ca- tholics, as it is worded in a manner which at first sight ; seems abstruse. And far from believing it lawful lo violate faith uith Heretics, I solemnly swear, without eqtii- \ i vocation, or the danger of perjtny, that iu a Catholic j country where I was Chaplain of War, 1 thought it a | crime to engage tbe King of England's soldiers or sailors into the service of a Catholic Monarch against their Pro- testant Sovereign. I resisted the solicitations, and ran the rink of incurring tbe displeasure of a Minister of State j and losing my pension ; and my conduct, was approved of by all the Divines in a Monastery to which I then lie- longed, who unanimously declared that, in conscience, I i could . not have acted otherw ise."

To be sold by public roup, within the house of John Ro^ s, vintner in Brechin, upon Tuesday the 22d day of May next, between- the hours of one and two o'clock after- noon, riMIE TOWN and LANDS of CAIRN- JL BANK, in the parish of Brechin, and county of Forfar, situated within a little more than a mile of the town of Brechin, and iu the immediate vicinity of Trinity Muir Market Place. The turnpike road, from Brechin to North E> k Bridge, extends along the west boundary of the property. These lands consist of about two hundred acres, in a high state of cultivation, and are subdivided by ditches, paling, and thriving thorn hedges, with hedge rows of bard wood. There is abundance of limestone on the lands, of excellent quality, and which may be wrought and sold to advantage. Tire whole property being presently in the possession ofthe Proprietor, the purchaser may have entry immediately; and to effect a sale, the Lands will be ex- posed at a low upset price. Intending offerers may apply to Charles GreephilJ, Esq. of Fearn, Old Montrose; Alex. Ritchie, Town Clerk, Brechin ; or William Hutchison, Writer in Forfar; and the articles of roup, and title deeds, which contain a clear progress, are in the hands of the said William Hutchison j tear and suspicions expressed by the Clergy of England of j the powers that Catholics would immediately acquire, j were they admitted to their just share of political rights, maybe partly attributed lo interested motives, and partly to that ignorance which desires not t-> be enlightened.— ; Even during the reign of JAMES, who was actually a ! Catholic, the folly of such suppositions was duly appre- ciated. When an Ambassador Extraordinary was sent to Rome to lay at his Holiness' feet the King's submission, { and solicit a Mitre and Cardinal's Hat for Father PETRB, j a sagacious Cardinal said, " Your King should be ex- j communicated for. attempting to overturn what little re- mains of our Holy Religion iu England." The event is well known. The motion of Mr. LAMBTON, for a Reform in the Re- presentation of the Commons in Parliament, our readers will perceive, has shared the fate of Mr PLUNKETT'S bill for the Emancii ration ot the Roman Catholics, being re jetted by a very small majority indeed, which would have been still smaller, bad not a division been hurried in the absence of Mr. I. AMUTOS himsedf, the Honourable G. BENNET, and several others, well known friends to Re- form. It deserves notice, that Ministers 110 longer attempt to oppose tire advocates of Reform by argument, for in as far as the reports go, Mr. I. AAIHTON was not answered but out- voted, the division hell being rung at the lucky moment, when he and his friends had, in consiquence of fatigue, retired to take some refreshment. I11 the mean time, it is evident, tbat the motion and debate which, thanks to the operation of a free Press, comas before the public, must do much good, as they manifestly prove tbat thecatise is gaining ground ; even Lord Ma. roNiidinits, that be now sees the necessity of Parliamentary Reform, who but lately declared against it in toto; and we are much deceived, if tlie Whig Party, generally speaking, are not now convinced, that a re. il and efficient Reform is ab- solutely necessary to the welfare and safety of the country. It seems however strange, that not one hundred Mem- bers were present on tbe discussion of a question of such high interest, and at a time when ail parties admit, tbat the distress of the country i„ extreme, and apparently does not admit of protracted deliberations concerning the manner in which it may yet be relieved. It is one favour- able sign of the times, that many of tbe young Noblemen and Gentlemen of England, aud some of this northern part of the kingdom, appear to be conscious of ibe politi- cal degradation ofthe country, and fully convinced, that the people have a right to be fairly represented in Parlia- ment, so that the Commons House shall really speak the sense of the people. For many years, the arts of falsehood and misrepresentation have been employed against tbe cause of Reform and its friends, and lo a certain extent, and for a certain time, these arts have had their effect; but truth must ultimately triumph, and we shall look back w ith astonishment upon the delusion that has so long prevailed. So long ago as the year 1781, a Sermon was preached 011 the Stli November, before the University of Oxford, by an eminent Clergyman who slill remains a distinguished ornament ofthe University and of Literature, which was remarked utthe tiinefor twopeculiariiies: 1st, Thepreach- er expressed himself with the greatest liberality concerning the Roman Catholics residing in Britain; and 2d, witn the greatest freedom concerning the injustice of the American War, and the corruption of our Government. Our war with America he characterized as a war of injus- tice, of apprehension, and dismay j and concerning our do- mestic state, he says-, Surely that State cannot but be in a perilous sittiaiion, when on one band corruption maintains a wide and increasing influence, acknowledged but uncontrolled, and prodigal beyond example : on crnrrtT iNTFLLrjzyc'k. ( Concluded frotn our last.) < On Saturday tbe Court again met, at half- past ten ani proceeded to the trial nf John Colder, William l! r. sx, Peter Stewart, and Charles Gordon, accused of obstruct- ing and deforcing, Daniel 1' iascr, Officer of Excise h!; Maryculter, while in the execution of his duty. After « long trial, the Jury found the paunels Guilty but una- nimously and strongly recommended them to the lenity of the Court. Lord Suco'th, in pronouncing sentence, made a very suitable address to the prisoners, on the i « es ture of the crime of which they bad been convicted ; an<£ teinarking 011 the gtcater degree of guilt, which, b\ tlia evidence, appeared to attach to the conduct of Cddw. ordained him to be imprisoned for six months, and tho other pannels for three months, in the Jail of Aberdeen. Alexander Davidson was then put to the bar, likewise accused of assaulting and deforcing tbe same officer, D. r- niel Eraser. Owing to the absence of some witnesses, the diet was deserted against him pro loco el tempore ; atitl be was re- committed on a new warrant. The Court then gave judgment in an Appeal Ca- e, which finished the business at this place, and their Lord- ships proceeded to Inverness. Monday the 2," 3d iust. being the day appointed to Ire observed as the anniversary of his Majesty's birth, tha same was celebrated here, by bonfires, hoisting offl. rjs, firing, atiel other demonstrations of joy ; and numerous convivial parties met to commemorate the occasion. In referring our readers to Mr. KNOTT'S advertisement of bis Concert and Ball, on Monday next, we cannot re- frain from expressing our hopes tbat lie will b" favoured with a liberal share of the public support — the effect of music ill ibe elegant hall in which the Concert is to bo held, must be very striking; while the accommodation for dancing is certainly superb— and added to Mr. Knott's merits in bis profession, will, wo trust, ensure hiiu ail excellent company. On Thursday forenoon, a bouse in Old Aberdeen, oc- cupied by a solitary tenant, known to have some money, was entered, when the thieves got possession of tbe poor man's stock, amounting to forty pounds sierHug, tile sav- ings of his industry, leaving the key, which opened a pros* where lay the key that gave thom access ! o the valuable de- posit, suspended in its usual place. On Saturday week, a rape, accompanied by circum- stances of peculiar atrocity, was committed by a miscreant in tbe neighbourhood of Cullen. The party, who is a. married mail, has been apprehended ; and a precognition taken of the circumstances, which we forbear to state. NA VAL INTELLIGENCE.

GLASGOW, April 24. — Yesterday the King's birth- day was celebrated wiib the customary demonstrations of loyalty. The military and volunteers, in the presence of an immense crowd, manoeuvred and fired in the Green ; and in the evening his Majesty's health was drank at th « Cross, amid great applause, by I lie Magistrates. The juve- nile loyalists amused themselves during the day by letting off pistols, squibs and crackers. The populace came intc. play as the. evening advanced.

Five months ago the mob consigned them to conflagration for the escape of the Queen ; and last night a similar u^ e was made of them in honour of his Majesty. The boil- fire had not lasted long, before tbe Police Offi- cers came forward and endeavoured to prevent further de- predation ; but they were fiercely assailed bv the mob and obliged to retire. A small parly of dragoons then came to the spot.

The crowd, persisting in their attack, were ultimately driven back ; but they renewed tbe conflict with sticks and stones, and severely wounded someof tlie soldiers. The patient for- bearance of tbe dragoons deserves tlie greatest praise; every man of this small party was cut or bruised ; a Ser- jeant and private were unhorsed. The Lord Provost and the head- jailor were cut on the head. Several gentlemen near them were also wounded more or less. One of the 41st was knocked out of the ranks. After some delay the dragoons reinforced advanced ; aud the crowd made off in all directions.

IT is with sincere regret, that we have to announce the loss of the Roman Catholic Emancipation Bill in the House of Peers, by a majority of less than forty, which is certainly trot considerable in the Upper House, seeing that Proxies arc admitted. That reason and sound argu- ment are in favour of the Catholic claims we have always maintained, for what can Ire more absurd than to agree, that while Catholics are admitted to be honourable and good loyal subjects, their religion must necessarily be believe, that they expected a co- operation which means were found to counteract, at least for a time. Iu Spain the people seem fully aware of the storm that threatens. The Cortes have declared martial law, and several General Officers and Bishops have been arrested as en- gaged in a plot against the Constitution. The fact is. the Spanish Revolution never has been complete ; and it, is fortunate that BOLIVAR never believed it to be so. but proceeds to complete the emancipation of South America, as if Spain remained under its former despotism.
