ELG, in the county of Inverness. This most extensive and valuable estate comprises the barony of Glenclg, with the patronage of the parish and parish church of Glenelg, and contains nearly 38,000 acres Scotch measure, or nearly 50,000 English. It forms a peninsula completely compact; is bounded 011 the west and south for 25 miles of the coast liy the sea, and by the extensive salt water lake called Loch Hourn, 50 well known for its herring fishery. The estate of Glenelg has been long admitted to afford pasture for sheep and black cattle, of a quality amongst the soundest and best in the West Highlands of Scotland; and it has been of late highly beautified, as well as much improved by the extensive plantations, buildincs, and roads which were made by the late proprietor. The access from the west is now rendered very easy and plea- sant, by the late establishment of steam boats from Greenock to Tobermory and Fort William. The great military road, which connects the forts and the road call- ed Glengarry road, made some time ago under the su- perintendance of the Commissioners for Highland roads and bridges, passes through the estate, which thus en- joys in a very superior degree the advantage of land and water carriage, while the numerous vessels which the herring fishery brings to Loch Hourn afford a ready means of sending its produce to market. The woods, both natural and planted, are very exten sive, and in a most thriving condition. The former ex- tend along the banks of Loch Hourn for many miles in length, and are ii) so of considerable breadth ; they con- sist principally qt'oak, ash, and birch ; and being situat- ed close upon the banks of the I . och, which is navigable for the largest vessels, and within two or three days sail of Greenock, Belfast, Dublin, and Liverpool, arp within the reach of tlie best markets for bark and timber in the kingdom. The plantations made by the late pro- prietor exceed ( iOO acres, and consist of oak, ash, elm, larch, Scotch tir, spruce, pinaster, and other valuable trees, The estate is finely, diversified by hill and dale, and there are several very superior situations for a mansion- house. On that part ot the estate called lslandreocli, Uicre is a very good house and offices, which, though originally built for a tenant, were occupied by the late proprietor, and afford a good deal of accommodation— The estate abounds 111 game of every sort— grouse, black Cock, and deer. The livers and tresh water lakes ate well supplied with salmon, trout, and other fish. The rent roll of the estate exceeds £ 3500. The teinds are valued and exhausted, and the public and parochial burdens a; e extremely low, not exceeding £ 120. The valuation of the estate affords Five Freehold Qualifica- tions in the County of Inverness. The living of the pa- rish, which is in the gift of the proprietor, is valuable, and is at present enjoyed by an incumbent at an ad- vanced period of life— If not'sold as a whole, the estate will be offered in three lots, as equal in point of value as circumstances will permit; but on this and other subjects reference is made to the printed particulars, which, witli copies of a reduced plan, will be furnished, oil applica. tion being made to Messrs.

ItEFQltT FROM THE HAJQH. QF. MKIlAL TO HIS EX- CELLENCY THE MINISTER OF WAR. Madrid, May 99. I have the honour to transmit to yourExcellency the enclosed extract From the reports which have reached. hie respecting the interior of Spain. Ballasteros has concentrated at Valencia the troops which he had brought from Arragon, or which were ' Terruel, Valencia, Alicant, l'ensicola, and Cartha. Rona. He h t Valencia on the 92d instant, and has proceeded towards the Xucas, which he must pass, order to retire into Grenada, The tru, ops which were at MadrM, and In the en- virons, under the command of Abisbal and Zayas, have retired upon Talavera de la Ifc- yna, and to, wards Estt » madura. This double combination leaves the road to Seville quite undefended. In the province nf Malaga the people refuse to pay the imposts, Villages have risen, and it has been found necessary to dispatch bodies of militia to- wards Ada la Serrjnia to put down this insurrec- tion. Tbe desertion amongst the Constitutional troops is very great. An attempt has been made to form an army of reserve in Andalusia, but Villa Campa, the intended commander, was unable to raise siore than a few men. The disposition of this province is very good Galieia and Estremadura only wait f" ra point d'appu to risa%, La Mancha is entirely freed from Ihe Li- berals, \ yiio are now the objects of popular hatred and persecution. Independent of the church- plate which they have carried away, the Liberals have almost every where exacted enormous contributions in money, horses, & e, A letter from Seville, under date the 22J, Informs us that " Lopez Banos is tb replace Abisbal, who has given in his resignation, and remaini in the en- virons of Madrid." The guard placed over the Koyal Family has been tripled, apprehensions having been entertained that the populace would attempt to liberate them ; and, tor the same reason, the prisoners have been inter- dieted the promenade in the gardens of Alcarez. A squadron of observation is cruizing before Cadiz, and prevents even fishing vessels from leav- ing the port. It was even believe.! at Seville, that several Russian ships and frigates had been disco vered among the French vessels, of which it was professedly composed. Morillo is at Benavente with the shattered wrecks of the different Constitutional corps, and some raw levies, which General Bourck, who is at present malt, ing a movement upon I. enn, will easily disperse. The Portuguese General Silveyra is, it is said, at Salamanca, Several members of the Corles are apparently in- tending to quit Seville, in order to escape the an- archy which reigns there. M,. Garcia Herreros has been named Minister of the Interior, but has not signified his acceptance of that office. The arrival of the French is ardently desired by all parties. The royalists invite them to complete the work of their deliverance; the liherals to guar- antee them from the vengeance to which they are exposed. ( Signed) Major- General Count GU1LLEMINOT. There shall likewise he discharged annually, that is to sai, from the 1st of May to the 1st of Octo. ber, 40 men per company of all the regiments of in. . fantrv. The reiluctiops, howisver, shall not extend to the regiments of the guard, the corps ef Lithuania and Caucasus, nor to the troops that compose the mili- tary colonies. This measure will cause an annual saving of eighteen, millions of rubles. Stockholm, May 23, , Yesterday a message fVom the Kin$ r in fa- vour of the publicity of the sittings was transmitted to the Diet. The present ses- sion, however, being so far advanced, this measure will not be carried into effect till next session, Brasses, June 4. A great movement is taking place among the troops composing the French garrisons of the northern fortresses, from Lisle to Strasjiurg. Several regiments have already marched ; detachments of the engineers and artillery have set out from Douay, Arras, Metz, and Strasburgh; as well las trains pf artillery, caissons, an d waggons loaded with ammunition and warlike stores of all kinds. It seems that the object of these measures is to form an army of reserve in the south of France. On the other hand, the levy of poo- scripts, and the organisation of the veterans, proceed with activity.

They required him to show his papers and the certificate of origin of his cargo ( probably certificate of propeity, instead of origin, is meant), and was informed, that they had taken one Finglish and three Swedish vessels, and carried them into Algesiras, in consequence of their appearing to be laden on French account.

FRIDAY, JUNE 6- FRISH TITHES BILL. [ Concluded from pur last Private Cprrespondence- l After a few words from Colonel FRENCH and Mr DOM. BROWNE, the House went inoo the com- mittee. A long and desultory conversation took place on the clause empowering the commissioners, at the close of seven years, to add a third to the composi- tion agreed on bv the arbitrator. Several clauses then received verbal amendments. Mr S. RICE, on the clause of compensation to the clergyman, wished that the sum should be such as might be rationally supposed to be received bv him for the last three years, in order to make a standard of his compensation. Mr PEEL and others opposed this, oti the ground that no such standard could be established. The clause, however, was allowed to stand in the bill, The dispatches received this day from Madrid inform us, that in all the provinces in Spain the Grandees hasten to show their adherence to the address presented to his Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme. The following are 14 new signatures. The Marquis de Camaraso, the Marquis de Ma}- serit, the Duke of Berwick and Alba, the Marquis d'Abayden de San Jose, tbe Duke de L'lnfanta- dp, the Count de Cervellon, the Duke de San Fer- nando for the Marquis de Villamod de Dauro, the Marquis de Balacia, the Duchess de Montessano, the Count de Fuentes, the Marquis de la Iiomana, the Ceunt de Castile and Orgar, the Count de lle- villa- Gigedo, the Count de la Peubla for the Count de Safbatrane. Madrid, May 31 [ Extract of a private letter.} The Regency has received, in the saloon, in which it Jiolds its sittings in the Palace, the persons who came to pay their Compli- ments,, on the occasion of his Majesty's fete ( St Ferdinand's day.) Nearly 800 Spaniards of all ranks came to pay their homage to the new royal authority. The Due de l'lnfanta- do presided with great dignity at this Court. The Regency have appointed Ambassadors to all the Courts of Europe. It is the Duke of San Carlos who goes to Paris. The " Gaceta" of Madrid, of to- day,' pu- blished the following decree:— Tbe Regency pf the kingdom, during the capti vity of the Kingi our Sovereign, having received au- thentic information respecting the horrible and sari- guinary crime committed on the evening of the 20th of this month, and in con equence of which, a con- siderable number of peaceable inhabitants of this city were put to death, in the most unjust and cruel manner, in the streets and fields of the Alcala gate, by the hands of soliiers unworthy of the name— desiring to give to the heroic citizens a proof of the sentiments of grief which this event excites in it, decrees as follows i— 1st, The regiment of infantry of the line Guadalaxara, and that of light cavalry Lusitania, shall be etased for ever frem the roll of the Spanish army 2d, The individuals whq have taken part in this hprrible deed, shall be proscribed and punished according to the law— Signed by the President and other members of the ltegency, at the Palace, 30th May 1813. By several decrees, the Regency has no- minated Lieut.- Gen. the Marquis de Campo Sagrado, captain- general of New Castille ; Major- General D Linan, provisional milita- ry governor of Madrid; Major- General D. Pedro Griiriarcst, provincial inspector of the militia.—( This General was one of those who signed the protest of the royalist guards against the former Regency of Urgel.) Don Vargas v Laguna, who is appointed Minister and Secretary of State, being still abroad, the Regency have intrusted his of-, fice for the present to D. Saez. The two departments of the penitisula and the colonies are united under the deno- mination of the interior. It seems that the formation of an army of- Spain is going to be undertaken. The last letters from Seville state, that there has been a secret sitting of the Cortes, New York, May 12. SPANISH MAINE.— By the schooner Adonis, arrived in %% days at Baltimore, from Car- thagena, intelligence has been received that the Unite4 States schooner Shark, Lieute- nant Commodore Perry, arrived at Cartlia- gena from Santa Martha, and reported that news had been received that Mprales had sent a detachment of 500 men, with the in- tention of capturing that place ; but the ex- pedition had been intercepted by the Repub- lican General Montilla, who had taken 300 prisoners. Great rejoicings, in consequence of this victory, had taken place at Santa Martha, The Carabobo regiment, 800 strong, had arrived at Rio de la Hache, from La Guayra; with this force Montillo will as- sume a hostile attitude. The head quarters of the Royalists were at Maraoaibo, and can- not move from that spot, Baltimore, May 2. PERU— It has been already stated, in ge- neral terms, in the newspapers, that the Pe- ruvian Patriots had suffered a defeat.- We regret that we have now to confirm this in- telligence. The following are a few of the particulars, obtained from an authentic source. On the 20th of January last the opposing armies came within sight of each other, at a town called Moquegua, something more than 40 leagues from Arica ; the patriot army, commanded by General Alvarado, the royal army by the Generals Cantarac and Baldes. Dispositions were immediately made for battle, and it commenced with great spirit on both sides. It was maintained with much obstinacy, till the patriots, yielding, as stated by some, to superior numbers, by others to superior skill, gave way, when the r9yalists obtained a signal victory^ not more than 800 or 900 of the Peruvian patriots escaping fVom the scene of this san- guinary contest. This gallant wreck of the independent army arrived at Callao on the Gth of Fe\ x where it was supposed the Con- gress of Peru, then assembled at Lima, would suspend its sittings for a time, and place the country under the more immediate command of a milder chief. The possession of Lima by the royalists was expected. This is dis- astrous news, but we are happy to have it irt ptjr power, still to cherish a pretty confident hope of Peruvian independence. Bolivar, who so well deserves the title of Liberator, bestowed on him by his country, was in March at Guayaquil, where, having first sent off 1200 men to re- inforce the army operat- ing against Morales, he had organised an ex- pedition to liberate Peru.— Federal Gazette. The London Gazette of Saturday last con- tains a proclamation by his Majesty " for putting in execution the law made to prevent the enlisting or engagement of his Majesty's subjects in foreign service, and the fitting out or equipping in his Majesty's dominions, vessels for warlike purposes without his Majesty's license." It commences by stating that hostilities are at present carrying on be- tween different countries in Europe and Ame- rica, that his Majesty's determination is to preserve the strictest neutrality to all parties, and that he has been informed that attempts are making to induce his Majesty's subjects to engage in these matters, without his leave, The proclamation then quotes the leading enactments of the foreign enlistment act, passed in the 5.9th year of the reign of his late Majesty, and then concludes by declar- ing the King's determination to put the pro- visions ot that statute in execution, and pro- hibits every one from breaking any of the provisions of the said statute, under the pains of the penalties annexed to it' ( which declares the enlisting or engaging of his Majesty's subjects a misdemeanor, and to be punished acc6rdingly) and his Majesty's high dis- pleasure. It is at length determined that a new bridge shall be erected over the Thames, in place of the old one. This decision has been made in consequence of Government having agreed to advance £ 150,000 towards the ex- pense, and which, with the means already possessed by the city, is considered sufficient to warrant the Corporation proceeding in the work, which it is estimated will cost about £ 800,000. The question for a new struc- ture was carried at a court ot Common Council, by 49 votes against 40. A letter from Perpignan, dated the 27th ult. states that the Spanish army consists of 16,000 regular troops, who are full of resolu- tion and confidence in their General, and not a single one of whom has deserted, notwith- standing the progress of the French. Figue- ras has a garrison of 2500 men ; it is watch- ed by a division of 4000, a number insuffi- cient to blockade It, it consequently regular- ly receives supplies of fresh meat and other necessaries. Barcelona contains a population of 150,000 persons; it has for its defence 10,000 militia, formed of the flower of the Catalonian youth. In this state of things it is difficult to foresee what may happen. If 10,000 French troops, adds this account, are assembled under the walls of Barcelona, the whole of the French frontier must remain ex-, posed, and the safety of the corps d'observa-, tion atFigueras is compromised ; whilst, on the other hand, there can be no stable order PoRTsMOuin, June .- Yesterday afterhbtf Bear- Admiral Sir Charles Rowlev, K. C. B. latecom- mander- in. Chief in the " West Ind'iea, arrived at Spit- head in the Sybilie frigate, Captain J. H. Rowley, having been succeeded bv Commodore Sir Edward Owen, K. C. B- The Sybilie left Port Royal on the 20th April, and the Havannah 5th of May; the Phaeton, Captain Sturt, accompanied her three days sail from the Havannah, and then return- ed to Jamaica. The Hews prevalent at the Havar- nah, from the Spanish Main, was, that the Castle of St Juan de Ulloa ( which commands the entrance to Vera Cruz) still held out for the mother country. The enly pther foree in the Royalist cause, was in the distant province pf Maracaybp, about 2400 meil under General Morales; but an independent fore* of 0000 men under General Montilla, was in Aiil' march against him ; anil, though a clever and ejt[ se-- - 1 rienced officer, the dissolution of his command seem- ed certain. The pirates at Cuba were strictly watched by our cruisers. The boats of the Tamgr, with the Lion and Union tenders, under the command of Lieutenant Hobson, had recently destroyed three vessels, the crews of which escaped on shore at Cape Antopio A number of the men, taken in pirate vessels, had be- ri executed at Jamaica. Tbe Scoot sloop of war naa. also stationed at Cuba. The American flotilla hart destroyed one small vessel. They afforded a weekly convoy for all ships from tbe Havannah to tbe Double'„ headed Shot Key, which is clear of all danger.

The Provincial Journals received since Thursday furnish a remarkable contrast tot those which have been transmitted for the last three or four months. Except the houghiug of four or five cows in Mayo, and the emission of a fevv threatening notices, in the South, the country appears tranqui). In Clare some disposition is manifested, on the part of the peasantry, to return to the duties of their station.

On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the far- ther consideration of the report on the marriage bill was postponed till to- morrow. The Scotch entails bill went through a committee, Lord BEI. HAVEN and Lord ABERDEEN dach having made a remark, which did not reach us below the bar. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in moving the second reading of the Irish joint tenantry bill, said that the mea- sure was intended to remedy a great evil which had grown up, principal; since the Union, the uplifting of freeholds, and the multiplication of votes. Its fault was that it did not go far enough. Tne Karl of LIMERICK expressed his approbation of the bill. Many of the evils in Ireland were owing to the system which this bill was intended to correct, and by which paupers were greatly increased. He hoped that the principle would be carried fatther. The bill was then read a second time, and the committee fixed for Thursday. ' Adjourned; House of Commons, June 9. On the motion of Mr KENNEDY, the Scotch transfer- able securities bill was reported. The Scotch turnpike roads bill went through a committee. SCOTCH AND IRISH DISTILLERIES. On the motion that tbe House go into a committee on the Irish and Scotch distillery acts, Mr C'URWEN called the attention of the House to the petition he had laid upon the table. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that though he was not prepared to give a distinct pledge, the intercourse between England and Scotland in spirits was under the consideration of the Treasury. Mr C. HUTCHINSON hoped that time. would be given for ascertaining the opinions of parties interested, espe- cially in the intercourse of spirits, by the printing nf the bill.

The Paris journals of Friday contain nu- merous details from Spain, not only of mili- tary operations, but also of the proceedings of the Regency at Madrid, one of the first acts of which has been the appointment of Ambassadors to all the Courts of Europe. It has also issued a decree branding with treach ery and cruelty the successful resistance made by General ZAYAS to the plundering assault on Madrid by BESSIERES and his fol- lowers. The Moniteur of Thursday states that the troops which were in Madrid and the neighbourhood, under ARISBAL and ZAYAS, had retired to Talavera la Reyna, and towards Estremadura, leaving the road to Seville open. A private letter states that two corps of the French army were to leave M adrid on the l st of June, under the ' command of Generals BORDESOULT and JROURMONT, to proceed towards Seville and Badajos. In the meantime, the Government at Se- ville and the Cortes are not inactive, and are taking decisive measures, so far as legis- lation goes, against all who may join the Cause of the invaders. In the sitting of the Cortes, on the 16th, it was proposed, on the " report of a committee— 1. That the property of all Spaniards who follow ' the French army, and all factious, be declared se- questrated. . be seized and- administered for the use of the State. These two articles were adopted. A Lisbon mail has arrived with papers to the 25th ult. It appears that Count AMAR- ANTE has still a considerable hotly of troops Kinder his orders, with which lie threatens an irruption into the province of Tras- os- Montes. A letter from Opor' o of the 22d ult. says, " The troops in this city have marched for the northern provinces, in which the inhabitants have agaitj manifested an inclination to at- tempt to bring ahout a counter- revolution ; and it was reported the Conde ( 1' AMARANTE " was on his re'. urn to the frontiers with a force." It is understood that Parliament will be prorogued about the 10th of next month. Such, at least, is the present expectation of Ministers, and they do not anticipate any filing that will make it necessary to prolong the period.

NATIONAL MONUMENT.— We congratulate our countrymen in general, and our readers in particular, on the continued steady and successful progress of the subscription to this highly important and interesting object. The contributions of the inhabitants of Leith, inserted in this day's paper, and the patriotic exertions of Mr REOCH, the senior magi- strate, and his colleagues, in promoting the measure, are entitled to the highest com- mendation.; similar movements are, we un- derstand, making in the towns of Stirling, Lanark, Rothesay, & c. and we have no doubt of every town in Scotland taking a similar right and interest in this great work of na- tional gratitude and glory. Two Companies of the 73d regiment, under the command of a field officer, marched into the Castle on Tuesday forenoon, from Hull. This gallant corps, though considered a na- tional regiment, has not been quartered in Scotland since the year 1809, immediately COMMISSIONERS OF POLICE. A meeting of the General Commissioners was held on Monday ; and, on the minutes being read, which contained a remit to the lighting committee, to re- consider their former minute respecting the quanti- ty of light fixed for the summer season, Mr Mac- donald, the convener of that committee, expressed his regret that such a remit hail been made, espe- cially in his absence, nnd of other members of the committee. He was satisfied there was no reason for such a proceeding. The light now allowed, as the lowest quantity for the season, was more than three times the quantity allowed tor the year 1821 and preceding vears. In 1821 the total amount of 424 27 GALLERY OF FASHION. lamps burning at the end of May, was, Gas, 18— equal to - oil, ot oil, In all, In 1823, there were, as thsMowest allowance for the season, - - - of oil, Of gas, 660, equal to - - of oil, 451 500 999 In all, - - - 1499 Being at the rale of 1048 oil lamps more than were allowed in the year 1821. In making an increase of light to this extent, the Committee thought they had gone as tar as any of tho Commissioners could have desired, and farther, perhaps, than they were warranted, due regard being had to the interests of the public. He was also convinced that the increase was greater than hail now been estimated, for two gas lamps gave more light than three oil lamps on an average ; and not only was there this additional expence for 1048 additional lights, but there was the previous tota ^ nX'iwS « meantime. Some of the Commissioners expressed an Wales, from which colony, after a stay of several years, it was removed to Ceylon. The second battalion, now reduced, formed part of the expedition to the North of Ger- many in 1813, and also shared in the glory - and danger which fell to the lot of those re- giments who fought at Waterloo, in which action it suffered severely both in officers and men. . On Saturday forenoon, a chimney- sweep fell from the top of a house in Blackfriars' Wynd, and had both his legs broken, be- sides being otherwise much bruised. He was carried to the Royal Infirmary. On Monday, two young men of genteel appearance were charged in the Police Court with committing an assault upon some trades- men on the Regent Bridge early on Monday morning ; and then upon the watchmen who took them into custody; also with having opinion that the lighting had already been carried too far; but, generally, thev seemed perfectly satis- fied with what hail been done; John Smart and Arthur Mackechnie, prisoners in the toolboth here, have been in- dicted to stand trial before the High Court of Justiciary, accused of theft, by breaking open lock- fast places, and being habit and repute thieves. Early on Monday morning, the body of a child was discovered at the Royal Terrace, enclosed in a box. It appeared to have been of premature birth, and was much decayed. On the night of " yesterday week, William Smith, a native it is said of Galloway, and servant to Mr THOMAS FARGHER of the Isle of Man, on returning with his master from Rosley- hill fair, contrived to pick his pocket while in bed at an Inn in Workington, and broken the watchmen's lanterns, & c. The: long before morning decamped with the booty PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. -. , " London, June 9. ", Letters from Paris, dated 7th instant, received to- day hy express, state that some changes in the French Mi- nistry are expected, although they are not of that nature which is likely to be followed by a change of measures. The chief object seems to be, to restore MONTMO- RENCY to the butead of Foreign Affairs, being'the situ_ ation he formerly, held in the Cabinet. CHATEAU. IUTIAND, in that case, is to be transferred to the Ministry of the Interior. We have seen a letter from Madrid, dated the 31st ult. which contains some curious particulars respecting the proceedings, of the new Regency in that capital. It ap- pears to have been agreed on, that lelters should be writ- ten to the Emperors of RUSSIA and AUSTRIA, and the King of PRUSSIA, to give official notice to those Sove- reigns of what has been done, and to thank them for the interest they took in the fate of Spain, and the influence • which they had lent to destroy the constitutional party, by Withdrawing their Ambassadors from the Cortes. A letter is also to be written, to the King of FRANCE, but in a lii^ ior strain of gratitude, and concluding with a hope that the two nations, already united by the dynasties, should henceforward be more firmly allied in their commercial and political relations. With respect to England, the Regency has some very considerable difficulties what coursS to pursiie; but it has been, we understand, re- solved on not to take any immediate and decisive step, but tp send a confidential person , to London to ascertain the sentiments pf the British Cabinet, and to pursue discretional course founded on the discoveries he may make in London. It is said that the new Regency will make the attempt almost immediately fo negotiate a loan to tfic amount of £ 2,000,000 sterling; and circulars have been sent to the most eminent bankers and Capitalists foi their consent to supply them with that sum. We learn, by the expresses from France to- day, that, three Of the houses, which had signified their intention of bidding for the French loan, had coalesced, and the competition is, therefore, hot likely to be so great, as it would otherwise have been. In London also, three ex- tensive speculators in tho funds have adopted the same plan. There are yet, however, two distinct sets of per- sons in the city, who intend to hid for theToan, if their lists are compl" eta8, of which, however, there seems to be Some doubt, lis capitalists have - strongly objected to the commission required by MEssrs.' KICARDO, Brothers, and Mr ABRAHAM MONTEFOIRE. Advices of the beginning of February from St Jago de chili, received hy way of Buenos Ayres, contain informa- tion which is likely fo bring the loans contracted for on account of the independent Governments of South Ame- rica into much more disrepute than heretofore. It is stated that tiie new Government of Chili had just been installed, and that one of the first hieiSures adopted by the members was that of passing a resolution not to rati- fy the loan which had been raised in the name and on ac- count of the fdrmer Government. It will be recollected that, besides a great quantity of naval stores purchased by the agents in Londoh for tiie Republic, for which aboiit one- fourth of the Loan was expended, that 12,000 oz. of gold was sent over from England fo Valparaizo. The receipt of this amount in gold has, we understand, been Acknowledged by the new Government, but what will be the fate of the naval stores is yet a mater of doubt; but it f Is stated that as the Chili squadron is to be reduced, that ho use can be made of them. Commissioners have how- ever been appointed to settle such claims a « may be brought forward against the Government. The above intelligence, as might be expected, created a strong sensation in the city this afternoon, and the Chi- \ li bonds declined from 2 to 3 per cent.; in fact, so great wis the panic at one time among the holders, and whi'e t le news was- mere rumour, no one was disposed to efftc" Mes. j should now merely move the resolutions, and when in the form of a bill, he should of course state its nature and tendency. Two resolutions were then agreed to. They were read in so low a tone, that not a word of them was heard in the gallery. « Various returns, regarding the officers at present serv- ing on full and half pay in the navy, were ordered, on the motion of Mr HUME. Mr HUME presented a petition from Montrose, pray- ing the repeal of the duty on worts, ale, beer, & c. and the imposition of it upon malt Only. Lord A. HAMILTON presented a petition from the candle- dealers of Glasgow, in favour of the repeal of the duty on candles. SILK MANUFACTURES. On the motion of Mr HUSKISSON, the report on the silk manufactures bill was brought up, and Mr Adam and Mr Wyld were called in as counsel, on the behalf of the operative weavets. Mr Adam first proceeded to argue that the Spittalfields acts ought not to be repealed. Mr WYLDF, followel on the same side. Counsel were then ordered to withdraw. On the question, that the amendments of the bill be read the second timf. Mr F. BUXTON would not go into any length on the subject, but he was anxious that the petitioners should be allowed to adduce evidence at the bar, to prove cer- tain facts. But it was now said that facts were nothing, and principles were every thing. Now it was rather hard upon these petitioners to be told that although tilth very existence might depend upon the passing of this bill, v . it that the principles were good, and must be adopted. The principles by which the former bill was passed were said to be excellent, and the principles were now said to be un- doubtedly good by which that bill was to be repealed. He would say for instance to the inhabitants of Spital- fields, that, for a manufacturing .. district, there could lint be a more regular and moral class of people. He referred to the report of the committee of 1818 upon the bill, that the manufacturers of Coventry were much less moral and more profligate than those of Spitalfields. He con- cluded with moving that the measure be referred to a se- lect committee. Mr HUSKISSON opposed this motion, thinking that there was no ground whatever for it. He contended that the effect of this measure would not be so disadvantageous to the Spitalfields weaver as had been suppose.;. It was clear to him that the arguments ot counsel, at the bar, ap- plied to every principle of restriction. If this principle were adopted, tile poor rates would be increased to an enormous extent. If this measure was not passed, the manufacturer J of silk would be reduced to the greatest de- gree of distress. It would be found that the manufac- ture would gradually diminish unless the principle re- cognised by this bill was adopted. He should therefore refuse the appointment of the committee. Mr ELLICE was favourable to the appointment of a committee, because he thought that inouiry could be in- jurious to neither party. He adtniUea that it was un- wise to regulate the price of labour; but it was at least as unwise to regulate by law the price of provisions. Colonel WOOD did not think it desirable to press on the Subject this sessioii. Left sitting. case havingbeen clearly established, the young men were ordained to pay a fine of a guinea each and seventeen shillings of damages. A few clays ago, a light- fingered gentle- man, in the shape of a prime swell, entered a shop in Prince's Street, and asked the little girl in whose charge it was al the time, if she could give him any sixpences of the year 1820, and he would give her eightpence each for them, as he wanted them for a particular purpose. The girl, from his prepossessing appearance, not supposing him to be any- thing else than a real gentleman, instantly put the till upon the counter, and commenced a search, in which he very kindly assisted her; and having found three, he gave her two shillings for them, and walked off; not, however, without helping himself, in the search for sixpences, to seven and twenty shillings, as was discovered by the mistress's counting her money on her return, she not relishing very much the good bargain of which the poor girl was making a boast to her. The seventh annual meeting of the Sab- bath School Union for Scotland'was held on Tuesday week, in the As; embly RQOOIS, George Street.

Information having reached Dumfries, the police officers were on the alert, and on Sun- day last the culprit was overtaken at Bield, on the Edinburgh road, and safely conveyed to Dumfries Jail. With the exception of a few pounds he had paid for a horse, and a new suit of clothes, nearly all the money was found on his person. An addition and pleasing appearance is rendered to the countenance by the well- arranged curl, tbe braided plat, and the flowing tresses. In dressing the hair, nothing will have such a beautiful effect on natural or artificial hair, rendering it so admirably soft that it will lie in any direction, producing beautiful curls, and which it preserves in damp at- mosphere or violent exercise, at the same time add- ing a most incomparable, transcendant, and beautiful lustre, rendering the head dress trulv enchanting, as ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, which has by its unexampled excellence in promoting ill every respect the elegance and durability of that grant! or- nament, gained the admiration and astonishment of the whole world.

EDINBURGH, June 11. 1823. I SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE INSTRUCTION „ THE NATIVE IRISH, through the. Medium of their Own Language. THE BAPTIST IRISH SOCIETY V.* instituted, in London, in April 1814, when JLi. SEPH BUTTERWORTH, Esq. M. P. presided; sin^ which period about 30, » OO, young and old, have receiv n instruction in their schools, and not a few of these IK< now regulated in their daily conduct by the prinii lies o the saered Scriptures, a book which they had never sec" and of which many of them had never heard ! The ut terly destitute condition of so large nnd so imporl. nn a part of the population of Ireland ted this Society to di- rect its primary and principal attention to the necessity of establishing schools, analagous to the Gaelic schools i,, the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, and every day lias increased, in the minds of the committee, a sense of their great utility. There are at present ninety schools, contain- ing 7000 children, and several of these ore exclusively lor females, a circumstance of the first moment in the pre- sent state of Ireland. These schools, together with upwards of20 Irishmen, who are employed in reading the IrishScrip- turcs to their countrymen with great effect, present an in- strument of the greatest usefulness, in certainly bv far the nve$ t necessitous district of the united kingdom. The anntiiil expenditure of the Society has been about £ 2500 annually, and hitherto with considerable extru'oa the committee have been able to meet this . tpendittire. At present, however,, the funds are, exhausteu, and it. has become necessary to apply again to those friends in Scot- land, who, on former occasions, were not slow to assist their efforts. :'..,., ".

Next day the other woman called upon the girl, and, without speaking a word, fixed upon her a look which almost petrified her, and beckoned her to the street, where the sorceress was in waiting. She was then informed that the bottles hat! been stolen ; that they ( the two women) | had been fined 12s. for having them in their posses- sion ; that the officers of justice were in pursuit of her to carry her to prison ; and that, unless She gave them 12s. they would conduct the officers to her re- sidence. It was to no purpose that the poor girl im- plored their compassion, protesting that she had not 12s. in the world, or that she took refuge in the house of her master. She was followed there by the two fiends, who, one after the other, came to the door threatening her with vengeance, until at length her agitation became so extreme, that it could be no longer cOncealed ; and the cause of it having been explained to her'm'ulress, both her tormentors were taken into custody. The case is now under- going an investigation. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. Comet, Marshall, from Leith, at London 9tli inst.

FOYAIS—[ The following article has been sent to us for insertion.]— The relatives and friends of the settlers who recently left this country for Poyais must experience tnuch anxiety, on perusing a para- graph, in the form of a letter from Honduras, in another column, which appeared in the London Courier of Saturday last, and which, we trust, will, in the end, turn out to be a mere fabi ication. We have just seen a letter from a respectable gentle, man in this citv, a near relation of Colonel, now Brigadier- General Hall, the Lieutenant- Governor of St Joseph's, from which we copy the following words:—" The assertion that General Hall is a Mosquito man is perfectly false. He is a Scotch- man, born in Ross- shire; served in the British army till he attained the rank of Lieutenant- COlonel; and never was in the Mosquito territory till lie late- ly went there. Indeed, from the manner he is mis- represented, I do not believie one word of the letter inserted iti the Courier." Moreover, we have seen an official letter from General Hall himself, which has this day opportune- ly arrived here, ddteil at St Joseph's, in Poyais, 10th April last ( only three days prior to the date of the alleged letter from Ho iduras), which states nothing hatever of the disasters mentioned.

EMLiNE, June 7- 11523. ' ttSi!. l. LITERATURE. I- ffTTICOMT TALES. Petticoat We* or 7w| s, are. equally invulnerable ( to criticism!, and for both we hare loo much real liking rot tb « Wi them nil manner nf success. But us this is the age of humbug, we are not very eer- tain whether these tales may not be the production of a " bearded man," notwithstanding the title im- plies that male creatures have no concern in their composition Or, for the tiling is quite possible, some member of the Celtic Society mny have taken it into his head to enter the lists against breeched ( authors, under the protection of his philabeg and " tail." However, from some little unconscious expressions of admiration of hussar and dragoon offi- cers, and such like,— and the interest and know- ledge exhibited in the discussion of ribbons, caps, and laces, we should conjecture that the writer is a lady, and perhaps a young one. On that supposi- tion ( for we do liate old snuffy Blue Stockings), we shall give an extract from one • f these well written and verv amusing stories, under the idea that Petti- . coat Tells always manage best to plead their own • cause. " For all that they approve is sweet, " And all is sense that thev repeat." From the " Flirtations of a Fortnight in August," we quote the following account of a visit to the lioyal Yacht in Leith Roads We were a pretty numerous party and all in high spirits. Aunt Pen's terror on the water assisted greatly in keeping us alive. When we got alongside the royal yacht, an officer, whose countenance seemed an index to a soul of fun and frolic, expressed his regret, that he could not admit us on board; but he gave this denial in such courteous terms, and accompanied itwith such an enchant- ing smile, thit, although highly provoked by his refusal, I positively could pot feel angry with liim. Sir Howard Bentinck, who was seated by me, made a strong effort to prevail with him to alter bis cruel de termination; but all. his rhetoric proved unavailing; and we were forced to move off from the royal yacht. But, when I found that we were really not to get on board, 1 determined to hazard a bold attempt to accomplish our wishes, antl, in prosecution of my purpose, took upon my- self the task of pleading our cnusc, and, throwing back my veil ( you know, or should know, what n tolerably handsome countenance has sometimes accomplished, antl you must agree with me in thinking, that it is quite per- mittable to take advantage of the weak side ofthe lords of the creation), I said, with a smile which I intended should be quite irresistible, that, I was sure, he had too much politeness to disappoint the wishes of so many fair ladies, and since we had conic so far to have a peep at this much celebrated vessel, he surely would not turn us awiy at the very moment we expected to have our curi- osity gratified. He seemed to hesitate a moment, which we observ- ing, did not allow to pass unimproved, for with one con- sent we pressed eyes, looks, and entreaties, into our ser- vice, and the naval hero was fairly forced to yield acqui- escence. So, with a good humoured smile, he said,— *" Well, well, you ladies always manage to get the better of us, some bow or other; so, I suppose, I nmst allow you to come on board.. In short, we make nothing by disputing with your sex, for we only expose our weak- ness and your power, as we generally are obliged to yield at last; but since it must be so, it must." I was so transported at this, that, turning in ecstasies to Emily, I exclaimed— 111 That man's a perfect jewel. I never in my life saw a countenance that pleased me so much; such an expression would redeem the most hor- rific features. I am sure he is married, for never yet did I meet with an agreeable man that was not picked up by some fright or other. However," I continued laCighing, " should my conjectures unfortunately prove true, I must live in hope that his wife will make a quick retreat from this sublunary sphere." I had just finished this rhapsody when the hero of my tale descended the ladder, or steps, to assist us on board, and ill rising to quit the boat, I chanced to glance at. my neighbour, Sir Howard, won- dering that' he was not more alert in offering his services; but the length of his visage nearly sent me back to my seat in absolute amazement. My dear, he looked as black as night, and as grim and grave as a man need be. Ah! thought I, the green- eyed monster is busy here. Jealousy liad seized the noble Howard, and there he sat with a hundred and fifty blue devils for his companions, brood- ing over my words in praise of this son of Neptune, who, at this most inauspicious moment, came forward to assist me on deck, observing, 1 suppose, that my companion did not mean to be of much use in that way. Although I was perfectly convinced that the man was jealous, really and truly jealous, at which I was not ex- cessively grieved, yet 1 could not resist, woman- like, to give vent to a little, a very little, coquetry, just to try my power over him, and playfully giving my hand to the stranger, saying, at the same time, that though he liad at first denied us admittance, yet, now that it was fanted, he seemed the only polite man amongst us ; for, added, " I have been waiting with great patience for this half hour for that gentleman ( looking at Sir How- ard), to hand me from the boat, but I think he appears to have forgot where he is, and what brought him here." My escort was not slow in making a suitable reply, the last part of which was something about there being no wonder that a man should forget every thing in such dangerous company, not even excepting his duty; he laid a. particular emphasis on the last word. Sir Iiowaid heard the whole, which was just what I intended, and grew a few shades blacker, if that were possible. When we got on board, I could not resist a look at the boat to see if my jealous gentleman was following. He jdid, indeed, follow, but certainly not on the " light fan- tastic toe," for he moved along with such a solemn step and awful air, that it was enough to make one's very hair stand on end. I suppose he meant to frighten me into better behaviour, and no doubt imagined that I would become solemn the mo lier. t he thought proper not to smile. If such were his expectations lie must have been abominably mortified, for, as his visage lengthen- ed, my spirits rose. I was not obliged to sec that he was jealous and displeased, and 1 determined never to suppose such a thing within the verge of possibility. Although I appeared to he entirely engrossed by our naval hero, yet I kept watch on the motions of the Ba- ronet. He amused me much. It was evident lie did not wish that I should think he was taking the smallest notice of me, and he seetned to feel angry with himself for keeping near me, at the same time he could not tear him- self from where we were. lie imagined my mirth pro- ceeded from the remarks of the gay tar, when, in fact, he was the sole cause of it. At length we went to take a look of the royal cabin. Where so many ladies were collected together, you may suppose there would be considerable pilfering going for- ward ; for my part, I made no secret of my intention of stealing whatever happened to come in my way. Had the royal pillows not been quite so large, I think I would have made an attempt upon one of them ; but unless Sir Howard had carried it for me, I would have been rather at a loss to have got it conveyed into safe quarters, and, to have hazarded this request in his present humour, would have been as much as my life was worth. I told my naval friend I would not leave the ship without some- thing belonging to his Majesty. He replied, laughing, that he never yet had seen the woman who was not bent on stealing something or other, in short, anything, but steal they must, no matter, he said, though we poor devils are the sufferers; that love of pilfering seems se- j cond nature to them. I never saw one of the sex that was better— you must always be getting us into some scrape or other. Not contented, he continued, with making me disobey orders, you wish to make me art antl part in this thieving business. Is this all your gratitude for my po- liteness ? I begin to think I was a very foolish fellow to permit one of you to set foot on board; » man never does an obliging thing to one of you that he is not made to re- pent it. r After having scrutinized every corner of this very ele- f; ant vessel, we prepared to return to our boat, but, the adies of the party appeared most upwilling to depart without some ttoiliy, and 1 saw Emily fairly seize a wax candle, which action highly amused my companion. I tald him he would not get quit of mc till he gave me something which belonged to the King. He replied, with a bow of much gravity, that he had that honour, and was quite at my service; and, after a little more ba- dinage, he with great, politeness presented me with one of bis most sacred Majesty's wine glasses. I assure you, I made a very pretty speech upon the occasion, which seemed to gratify the donor rather more than a certain gloomy gentleman, who, I tool,' good cafe, should have the pleasure of overhearing it; and after the usual bows and curtsies, fee. & c. we quitted this enchanting sailor, whom I shall always remember with pleasure. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY. ' fhe Rev. Wm. Barclay, minister of Auldearn, lerlc lo the Presbytery of Nairn, identified a minute of that Presbytery, and the presentation of Mr Campbell by Lord Cawdor to the united parishes of Dalcross and Croy, which were read by the clerk. Mr John M'Andrew, solicitor, Inverness, wes then called, who deponed that he accompanied Mr Campbell and Captain M'Pherson to the church of Croy ( in which the former was to preach); they went in the same carriage— some other persons were in another carriage. They ariived at Croy a little b-. fore twelve o'clock, and alighted at the gate of the church- yard, without which, in the church- yard, and on the wall, there was a considerable crowd, who set up a shout; thinks there were about 1500 parsons present; the crowd without the church- yard consisted chiefly of women, who surrounded them ( Mr Campbell and his friends), making use of threats to Mr Campbell that he should not get in alive— that he had not the Gospel— that he was not a servant of God— that they had always had the Gospel before— and that be looked more like a drover than a Minister. Witness spoke to one wo- man who had attacked him, and had said much about the Gospel, remarking to her that her conduct was not as it she was under its influence. They were violently jostled, and the women continued to use violent expressions, among which he heard that of " kill them." The crowd pressed on them very much, and mud was thrown. The women at first were tbe sole actors, but latterly tbe people from the church- yard took part in the riot. Captain M'Pherson addressed them from the dickey of the caniage, when the people behind the wall set up a shout, and threw mud and stones. Captain Mac- Pherson, who had previously informed the crowd that he was a Justice of the Peace, said it was a shame to use a gentleman in such a manner. Capt. M'P. was obliged to come down from the dickey, the people still throwing mud. He observed to wit- ness that he must interfere officially to queli the tu- miYlt, and desired him to read the riot act, which he did accordingly, from Hutchison's Justice of the Peace," which they brought with them. When he had finished, a woman succeeded in taking the book out of his hand, which he afterwards saw taken from Margaret Kenntly, by a man who put it into the carriage; about this time a quantity of ti: ud came on his breast. There was much jostling, during which Margaret Kennedav was present; a woman with a stone in each hand struck him violently on both sides, the men had joined in the riot, and the mob was increasing. Witness informed the people that Mr Campbell was come to preach, but they seemed quite aware of that. Soon after the Captain got down from the dickey he remarked that it was useless to stay longer, as they would not get into the church; it would therefore be better to move off, and he got into the carriage. There was at this time a cry to unharness tbe horses, and some young men attempted to do so, but among whom he did not see any of tbe prisoners. Witness was standing on a board in front of the carriage behind the dickey; he saw Margaret Kennedy hustling among the crowd she was very active, and he heard her voice distinctly in some of the cries. As the carriage moved oft there was a crv to throw stones, which was immediately done, and he heard the words " kill them" used. The men from the church- yard ran across the angle of a field towards a part of the road along which the carriage had to pass; he observed Alex. Kennedy among them, whom he particularly noticed from his having on a remarkable tartan dress ; the stones were thrown generally from the whole line, but he could not say he saw Kennedy in parti- cular throw. Hugh Mackintosh was standing with- out the church- yard wall, but was not particularly pressing; witness noticed his dress and features as he was standing near him This was about the middle ofthe riot, at which time he thinks he saw Mackenzie among some lads and women at the gale, but not doing any thing; saw him afterwards ap- prehended at Clunie's, two or three miles from the gate, where the carriage stopped. Hid notseeMac- donald in the riot. Witness ( who had got off the dickey) got into the carriage at the turning of the angle, amidst a shower of stones which broke the glass, and as the carriage moved off a number of stones struck it, at which time there were hundreds running across the field. The first stop of the car- riaee was about 300 or 400 yards from the church gate, at which time he did not see Margaret Ken- nedy. It was natural to suppose the mob were fol- lowing, as stones continued to be thrown at the car- riage. About a mile farther met Mr Cooper, soli- citor, to whom he related what had happened, during which he saw Margaret Kennedy, Mackenzie, and Mackintosh, and he also saw Kennedy at a distance. M r Cooper proposed that they should return, but witness thought it best to desist. They stopt at Clunie's, about three miles from the church, to feed the horses, to which place a number of the people had followed along the roads and through the fields. Captain M'Pherson and Mr Cooper recommended to Mr Campbell to get into the other carriage and pro- ceed to Inverness— Kennedy, Mackintosh, Macken- zie, and Margaret Kennedy, were apprehended a little farther on, taken to Inverness, and delivered over to the Sheriff. Did not see Macdonald. Cross- examined bv Mr MENZIES— Did not think the mob could possibly know they were to stop at justices of the peace, and obstructing him in the due fulfillment ofthe lawful sentence of a church court. The learned gentleman then went over the material facts of the evitlence, as bearing on the prisoners in- dividually. It was no favourable feature in the case, that one of the prisoners was a female, for in every case that had been prosecuted for resistance to the settlement of clergymen, the greater part of the de. linquents had been women. Ir. one case of this kind, which occurred in 1780, there were no less than eight women tried; indeed it was quite common for the men to put them forward, and cowardly to put them forward on such an occasion. The prisoners had all followed the carriage a distance of three miles, most of them brandishing weapons or with stones in their hands— Here the Solicitor- Ge- neral quoted Hume on the Criminal Law, to sho HOXBURGtmilRK. The genial weather which commenced with the month has existed during its continuance. The heat has not been great, but the alternate showers and sunshine have produced a wonderful effect upon ve- getation, and the productions of the fields are all in thriving condition. The wheat, some of which is in the shot blade, has not presented a stronger braird in the experience of the oldest farmer. Oats and barley also look well. Swedish turnips rise freely ; and the ground is in fine condition for the reception of the seed of the common sort The crop of hay promises to be most abundant. The severity of the winter led to a great mortality amongst the sheep upon hill farms, so that the dropoflambs has not by any means been so great as in former years.

Mr DUNDAS stated to the Court, that a petition had been put into his hands from Mr Campbell, praying that the Court would inflict as lenient a punishment as was consistent with the ends of justice, the prisoners having been betrayed into their error; the bad spirit was rapidly subsiding in the parish, ancl he trusted would soon be ex- tinct.

Wheats, particularly after fallow, which have hitherto looked thin and bleak, seem to thicken and cover the ground beyond expectation.

From the un- usual quickness of the sales, many purchasers were disappointed, especially those who have hitherto " hung- back," in the hope of making better bar- gains. The increasing roughness of the pasture lands, and the necessity which graziers are under of Stocking their grass parks, of course quickened the demand; and although bullocks rose at least 5s. per head in one day, we are not sure thai this fact can be taken as a fair criterion of tbe state of the Nor- wich and other South Country markets. Upon the whole, however, it may be safely said, that there has been an obvious improvement in the value of beeves, within the last fortnight or three weeks— Dumfries Courier. LANDS AND TILE WORK IN STIRLINGSHIRE TO BE LET.

The lands in general are of an excellent carse soil, and are adyantagously situated for markets and manure, lime is brought by water carriage, and the black moss forms a valuable compost. The lar^ is have hitherto been occupied by a numerous tenantry, who will now be very considerably reduced, and the whole property will be let chiefly ill seven farms, riz. five in 1 hrosk and two in Popiltrees, anil ill the allotments as below.

These lands, situated in the fertile district of Annan- dale, form a very compact estate of about 1350 acres, of which upwards of 1100 acres are arable, generally of ex- cellent quality, and St for every species of crop. The dis- tance from l. ockerby is about thtee miles, from Moffat about 12, and from Annan about 14 miles. The river Dryfe runs along the eastern boundary; the vale of the Dryfe in this quarter is beautiful, and the grounds afford several excellent situations for a mansion- house. The great post road from Carlisle to Glasgow, affording convenient intercourse with every quarter by stage coaches, passes within a quarter of a mile ofthe western boundary of the lands, und a good parish road from Moffat to Lockerbie, along the vale of Dryfe water, passes through the property near its eastern boundary. The lands are almost all enclosed, and subdivided with thriving hedge fences, and the steadings, which are of re- cent erection, are generally in very good order, and ade- quate to the farms. The property is under lease for dif- ferent periods of endurance, to substantial tenants. The eitmulo rent ( including an estimated rent for about 24 acres under planting, in the occupaton of the proprie- tor), is upwards of £ 1500 per annum. Heuck Mill is of a very superior description. The lands abound with game, and the river Dryfe af- fords excellent fishing. The teinds are valued, and the public burdens, which are very moderate, are chiefly paid by the tenants.

Jane Fraser, in- cluded in the same indictment, did not appear The male prisoners pleaded Not Guilty ; the woman plealeil Gu'lty, but on reconsideration she re- tracted her plea. The indictment contained three i Jiarges. Tbe Court was occupied nearly two hours with pleadings on objections by the prisoners' counsel, " ir which a jury was sworn, several challenges be. By a Juryman— Saw a number of sticks raised,' tentive soils a fair crop is expected. As plants stand ' 1 rather thin after fallow, and as considerable breadths have been altogether ploughed up, the total produce will not, under the most favourable circumstances, he equal to that of last season ; this we believe to be tbe general opinion respecting the wheat crop ; of the other kinds of grain it is by far too early to hazard a conjecture, hut the presumption is not so great when the ear is formed, as is now the case with wheat. Beans and peas plant thin, but the plants are vigorous. Few potatoes are yet above ground, ancl vegetation is not quite so forward at this period ns on an average of seasons ; it may be reckoned at present about ten days later than at the same date last season. A slight elevation of temperature, however, with a scanty supply of moisture, may soon make up the difference. In the early districts, grass is nearly ready for the scythe, and some has already been cut. On hill farms, where the winter fodder is over, we observe horses turned out to grass when idle, and as this is rather generally the case, it may encroach on the returns of the ensuing hay crop. At no period do we recollect to have seen barn- yards so quite empty even in the end i f July; and it will be no easy matter to make the dung spread over the fallow division, as little no straw remains for litter in the summer months, when it always tells best in the dunghill. The appearance of oats is fair, and pastures have improved much since the rains.— Perthshire, June 2.| but not used. At no time did witness see Hugh Maedonald. Most of the threatening expressions used were in Gaelic. The people seemed prepared for opposition. [ Mr M'Andrew's evidence minutely details the leading features of the case, which most of the other witnesses go little farther than to corroborate. ] Captain M'Fherson, R. N. a Justice ofthe Peace for Inverness- shire, was also examined at great length on the facts sworn toby Mr M'Andrew, and agreed with that gentleman in all the particulars. By a Juryman The people were verv disorder- ly certainly, particularly the women. There were two peace- officers present whom he desired to en- deavour to make some prisoners, but they found it impracticable. He had expected to meet some re- sistance, but not of so determined a character. John Mackay saw Hugh M'Donald at the church- yard gate, who pressed forward to the carriage with a stick, and seemed much irritated at something. Saw Mackintosh, Mackenzie, ancl Kennedy appre- hended, but did not at that time see M'Donald. Several other witnesses swore to the presence and conduct ofthe prisoners during the riot. Mr Campbell stated, that when the chaise stopt at the church he took off his hat to the people, when they set up a most indescribable yell. The Rev. gentleman's testimony corroborated the statements of Mr M'Andrew and Captain M'Pherson. James Falconer, schoolmaster at Croy, had known Hugh M'Donaid many years, and thought him as un- likely a person to join in a riot as any mail he ever knew ; he was a regular attender at church, and was of quiet, peaceable, and decent habits. Reverend Mr Grant gave M'Donald an equally good character. The SOLICITOR- GENERAL in addressing the Jury, said the case they had to try was one of great deli- cacy and importance ; it was a charge of mobbing, of riot, and of resistance to the established law of the land ; and, although this prosecution might in the minds of some appear to trench on feelings which they were ill some measure entitled to respect, yet they must remember, that the laws of patronage being irrevocably fixed, any act of riot committed in opposition to these laws was just as punishable as if it were done in breach of any other part ofthe exist- SEQUESTRA TIONS.

The crops of every description have a very healthy appearance, and are much farther advanced than could have been antici- pated at tbe date of our last, and even more so than i i ordinary years. The pastures are good, and there is at present every reason lo expect an abundant return from the soil, and " that our hearts will he filled with food and gladness." The cattle markets improved in the course of the month, particularly SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

IN THE COUNTIES OF CLACKMANNAN AND PF. RTH. To be SOLD by public roup, within the Royal Ex- change Coffeehouse, Edinburgh, on Friday the 27th day of June, 11123, at two o'clock afternoon, THE LORDSHIP and ESTATE of CAMPBELL, and the ESTATES of HAR- VIESTOUN, SHKARDALE* MAINS of DOL- LAR and LAW11ILL, together with the PATRON- AGE of the PARISH of DOLLAR, and extensive Seams of Coal and other Minerals. All the estates lie contiguous, and form one continued property of 5362 Scots, or 6702 EngSsh acres, of which 1224 Scots, or 1532 English acres, asr arable land, above 250 Scots, or 312 English acres, are in woods and planta- tions, a considerable part of which is above fifty years old, and the remainder of the estate consists almost entire- ly of good green pasture. The arable land is of the richest quality, and situated in a dry, low, warm, and early district, and tbe estate is well accommodated with good roads ill every direction. The estate is in a fine and picturesque country, about ten miles east of Stirling, and stretches along the south side of the Ochil II ills, forming a considerable part of the beautiful Vale of Devon, and comprehending the moun- tains on the north, aad the banks or low hills, on the- south of the valley, with the river Devon winding through the grounds for about three miles. The Mansion- house of Harviestoun is beautifully situ- it: d, surrounded bv thriving woods ancl plantations, and is large ut d commodious, and in every way suitable to the- es: ate. The Staines and Coach- houses are large and con- venient ; and there aoe also excellent Farin- omces on an extensive scale. The Garden and Shrubbery are con- sidered to be laid out with great taste. The Ruins of CASTLE CAMPBELL, so much cele- brated by Pennant, antl other tourists, are situated in the eastern part of the estate, upon a projecting promontory ofthe Hills of Dollar. The Minerals belonging to the property are rich and extensive. There are many valuable beds of Ironstone throughout the grounds. In the Hills of Dollar are Lead and Copper Mines, which were some year.- ago wrought to a considerable extent, and for resuming- the working of which some proposals have lately been made. The Coal Field, to be sold along with the lands, is of great richness and value. According to the report of two coal valuators of the greatest eminence and experience, the quantity of' coal is so great, that they consider the revenue that may arise from it equal to a perpetuity, and its value to be li- mited only by the market. At the same time, the ex- cellent new turnpike rotiils which have been made, give easy access to the great country of Strathearn, to which it. is the nearest coal. It is also the nearest coal to Perth; ancl besides, it is no great distance from the sea at Alloa. The INSTITUTION or COLLEGE of DOLLAR, and the thriving town of Dollar, are situated on the Es- tate. Some years ago, a very large sum was left for the establishment anil support of this Institution. The mng- nificent building for the I nstitution is now completed, con- taining a Hall, und Library, and Class Rooms, for 11 or 12 Professors, five of whom nre already appointed, apd teaching. The town of Dollar is increasing rapidly in consequence of the Institution, anil the advantages re- sulting from it wilt greatly add to the value of the estate. Though the Institution is quite in its infancy, there have been already 27 acres feued, at the feu- duty or perpetual rent of £ 16 sterling per acre; ancl several handsome- Villas have been builL The PATRONAGE of the parish of Dollar is very valuable and of great consequence, including the right of' presenting the Minister of Dollar; who, besides a good stipend, manse, and glebe, and a handsome salary, as, Principal of tbe Institution, has along with his Elders the sole right of appointing all the professors of the In- stitution. The political influence of the estate is great; as the valued rent affords eight freehold qualifications for elect- ing a Member of Parliament for the county of Clackman- nan, upon the roll of which county there are at present only 19 freeholders or electors. The estate will now be exposed as one whole, at the reduced upset price of £ 135,000 ; and if it is not thus dis- posed of, there will then be exposed the following lots at the following redueeti upset prices, viz.
