PORTUGAL. . su t r; Lisbon, April 30.

A report was at the same time spread t h r o u g h tho capital, that a conspiracy had been discovered, directed against the life of our august Monarch, a n d of his royal family. T h e certainty that the illustrious infant and l ' r i n c e , > Don Miguel, had placed himself at t h e head of the troops as flieir commander in chief, and that he hail with his accustomed ^ energy and activity, arrived in time to save such dear pledges together with his country, ^ tranquillized t h e public mind ; a n d wherever at tutelar a n g e l o f t h e Portu< jties(; appeared, o u t s resountled of " V i v a s " to his royal person, Ills august p a r e n t s , and our holy religion. Ins. short time t h e r e was spread through t h e troops the proclamation wbisfo w e publish b e l o w ; while the same most serene Prince gave the necessary orders that e n t e r the royal residence of Bemposta, where he stationed troops, commanded by faithful officers, ordering the arrest of many individuals who were caiisideret! as implicated in projects hostile to royalty and to t h e nation. T h e r e he waited for t h e determination of his august father, to whom- he addressed the lett e r which we transcribe below. Her Maj e s t y ( tlie Queen) immediately proceeded f r om the Palace of Qtieltiz to Bemposta; a n d t h e whole of the royal family b e i n g met, t h e Council of Slate being called, and all the ministers of foreign powers, among t h e rest t h e Marquis of Campo- Major ( Beresford), being present, our Lord the King appointed n ew ministers, with the exception of the Minister of t h e Interior and Justice, in the room of t h e Minister of Marine antl. War, Count tie Subserra, who was arrested, and of t h e Ministers o f t h e Treasury and Foreign Affairs. At the same time a new intendant of police was nominated. Many individuals of t h e military class, some with titles, antl a great number of others, were cfrdered into custody. The troops retired to their quart e r s at two o'clock in . the afternoon. Public t r a n q u i l l i ty was not in the least interrupted b y this movement; on the contrary, the proceeding*, was highly applauded, as tending t o consolidate the legitimate government of the most benignant and beloved of Monarchs. As we are not yet able to give a detailed account of these circumstances, we Jay before our readers the three following documents in explanation of the'events:—• PROCLAMATION TO T I I E TROOPS. Soldiers— If the day of the 27th* of May 1023 liroke uiioii us with a in01m. cable lustre, the day of the 30th of April 1024, will be no loss memorable.

This has animated me with new force to destroy this most perfidious cabal, which has been supported by the authorities employed to repress it. Portuguese, do justice tn your. Infant Don Miguel, the Commander- in- Chief of the Portuguese army— recognising liis language to be pure, and proceeding from virtue. You .. have sufficient proofs of my singleness ot mind, antl the candour of my royal heart. The events which occurred- at the re- establishment ofthe Throne antl the Overthrow of the. arbitrary Cortes, are i rrefragable proofs of the good faith with which I address you; and if my royal word is not a sufficient pledge to command your belief, I invoke the Clod of Alphonso; and before that God I swear, with all my royal heart, that my views are not ambitious— that my royal desire is only to smooth the roatl to virtue; to save the King, the royal family, and the nation, and to support the ho] y religion of our ancestors! Forsueh jtist ends, in spite of all the sacrifices., thai might he required, I engage to establish the necessary means, as those which have hitherto been adopted have nofj produced the desired effect. This is a truth which in a few. words I can prove to you. You see around you the freedom which the masonic clubs enjoy, where they treat of tbe destiny of the King, the lloyal Family, and the nation, while no measures are taken to abate the spreading fire. You see that the laws, an object of the first necessity, are not enacted as they ought; you see that the administration of justice, ori which depends the public security, is in the last stage of decay ; you see that tl] e criminal commission, established to punish the in the Faface of Bemposta without seeing any' one, and was in fact a prisoner in his own Palace, and his Ministers were sent to prison by order of Don Miguel and'( lie Queen. I t is considered as indubitable, t h a t the deposition of the King Was intended ; and that it would have been parried into effect, but for the. e n e r g e t i c and spirited conduct of the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers. As early as nine o'clock 011 Friday the 30th, the whole of the diplomatic corps assembled at the Nuncios, whence they proceeded in a body to Bemposta, and insisted on seeing the King. This was at first refused, by an order from his Royal Highness ; however, after a short time had elapsed, they were admitted. They found the King in a most distressing state of mind, even ignorant of what had been doing. The attendance of the Prince was requested, and on his arrival, the foreign ministers made a full exposure of t h e views of the Queen's party, and various trivial excuses were made by his Royal Highness, which, however, had no weight with the . ambassadors, who insisted that an order should be sent, in the King's name, to disperse the troops, & c. which was complied with, and every t i l i ng appeared to be tolerably quiet.

Business is at present extremely flat; there is, • in fact, nothing doing, for the natives are afraid of a disturbance again. At Lisbon, 011 the 30th April, the Infante ordered a company of soldiers to surround the Palace, and suffer no one to enter. He then issued several proclamations, calling on the people " to sacrifice those, who, if they had it in their power, would Sacrifice them !" and stating it was through the Freemasons that the Government was not better conducted— I. ord Beresford and Sir E. Thornton applied for entrance at the Palace, and were refused; the whole of the Ambassadors then went in a body to the Palace, antl were admitted.' The King, hud not the least knowledge of what was going on, but sent for Don Miguel: as soon as he arrived with the troops, Sir E. Thornton Said, fie was commanded by the King of England to offer every assistance which the King of Portugal might require to . support his power.

His Highness thanks the 10th regiment of infantry for the good order and rapidity with which it marched from Cascaes to Belem. His Highness further orders it to be made known to the army, that some of those individuals are arrested who were plotting againbt.- the sovereighty of his Majesty, and that he has been most highly gratified by the notice which his Majesty has been pleased to send him, by his Master of tbe Horse anil Chamberlain, tho Marquis de Louie,, approving- all that. his Highness has done for the good of the nation.

MR BATTIER AND SIR HENRY HARDTNGE. We are authorised by one of the parties to state, that . Mr Battier sent a message to Sir H. Hardinge 011 Sunday, requiring him lo state that he ditl not in his lately published statement attributa 10 Mr B. falsehood, but merely misinformation. Sir H. refused any explanation on this point. Mr Battler's friend then demanded a meeting for Mr B. This also was refused, and refused with insulting lan guage, Sir H. Harding'e desiring Mr Battler's friend to take down in writing, that " he, Sir Henry, considered Mr Battier guilty of an infamous calumny; that he lioked upon him as a calumniator, and unworthy of his notice." He added, verbally, that he would meet any gentleman who would come forward for Mr Battler, but that he would not meet Mr Battier. On Tuesday, at about half- past four o'clock, Sir Battier met Sir H. Hartlinge in the neighbourhood of Westminster, and going up to him, asked if he had really sent the insulting answer to his message as above described, and if he persisted ill it as his final reply? To both these questions Sir H. Hardinge replied " Yes." Mr Battier then told him, that he had sent a gentlemanlike message, and that Sir Henry Hardinge's answer had been most ungentlemanlike; that Mr Batlier would not commit actual violence upon him, but, that Sir H. H. might consider himselt horsewhipped ( at the same time shaking his whip over Sir H. Hardinge's shoulders), and thai Sir H. Hardinge knew where lo find him. Sir H. Hardinge did not, at stated in one of the Morning Papers, offer his card Morning Chronicle. We understand that Sir Henry Hardinge and Mr Battier have been waited on by the police, and will be required to enter into recognizances to keep the peace— Courier. THE ARMY. The sporting world- will feel a great loss by the death of Henry Peirse, Esq. ( one of the ttiembers for Northallerton) of Beadle, Yorkshire, for many yearn a breeder of most of tbe best race- horses in the north', and who in two successive years won the Doncaster St Leger, a circumstance not known since the establishment of these Stakes. In consequence of thisl gentleman's demise, his celebrated colt Rosanne, for some time past a good favourite for the ensuing Sti Leger, cannot run, as that nomination, as well as the one for the Colt Sapling Stakes, at York, on Wednesday next, is thereby rendered void. The Earl of Darlington, who seems to be renovating his stud of racers by fresh purchases of the first bred horses, has again proved unfortunate.

Extract of a letter from the agents to Lloyd's at Leghorn, dated the Gtli of May :— " We beg to transmit the annexed extracts of let ters from Alexandria, transmitted to us by one of our neighbours:— " Alexandria, March 27. " About two hours ago, four Algerine frigates and two brigs of war have just anchored in this pott from Constantinople. They were off' the port yesterday afternoon, but could not get in for a contrary wind. Yesterday motning, we dispatched two English vessels for Liverpool, and, about two o'clock p. > « .., they were seen within a mile of the squadron; but, as there was a little fog, they had passed unnoticed, to our great satisfaction." Alexandria, March 29. " The above- mentioned Algerine frigates, when they entered the harbour, carried the flag of Tunis, and, this morning, one of them has hoisted that of Algiers and has taken a list of all the English vessels in port, and, it is generally believed, there is still all Algerine trigate out, as they " have been communicating to one another with ; and, a little ago, two other frigates and The doors were opened at one o'clock, when the company were admitted, w i t h great purpose of b r i n g i n g back that important! p ,) SCOf n m n j n s i n l 0 s h r t i l , w a t f t t o a l l n o y t h e di sp' a t ch ; „ « ma n y* as five c a r r i agV3e s set d own Tn'arntr! l o n iKfntr h ee n r - fh [ ml - ei rsntr i° r t. t i l! i hn ne o ™ l'r e t . nopf vF e irv( ! plr" p l , m, a ntubte- nluigwhl ti cs hnotutlodm tnhleo ren pnrnonv e Aolcmcaosi- ioa n PROCLAMATION OF THE INFANT TO THE PORTUGUESE.

They continued to arrive in crowded numbers till half past three o'clock. T h e different branches of t h e royal family, who entered by the military yard, were received with t h e band playing " God save t he King." The Duchess of Kent and t h e Princess Sophia Matilda came in state. His Majesty slept at the Palace on Wednesday .. night. At two o'clock the Duke, of York, the Diike and Duchess of Clarence, t h e Princess, Augusta, Princess Sophia Matilda, Prince Leopold, and also Prince I, einingen,., were admitted into the royal closet to t h e presence of the King. At twentyfive minutes past two o'clock, liis Majesty l e f t his royal closet, and entered his principal drawing- room, and received those entitled to the entree, consisting of the F0 | ' e ' gn Ambassadors and Ministers, the Cabinet Ministers, the Great Officers of State, and others. At the commencement of the general levee; his Majesty took his station with his back t o the second window, in the f r o n t of a chair. The King's royal relatives, & c, arranged themselves to the left of t he nand. But such propositions, if they were ever made, we are persuaded never received f r om ITURBIDE the most remote encouragem e n t .— Courier. Letters were received on Wednesday f r om Malta, dated t h e 29th ult. The reports of peace with Algiers, which had been circulated there, are ascertained to have been unfounded, but tBe sole ground of difference understood still to - subsist, was the removal of t h e English Consul, who had given the original offence, which the DEY insisted on, but was willing to make every other concession required of him. It is probable, therefore, t h a t news will shortly arrive of a final accommodation. The Revenge, 74, was to sail f r om Malta on the 1st instant, t o j o in the squadron off Algiers. The Cambrian frigate had sailed for Tunis, & c. and. several ships of war were stationed at various points, f r om which they could, with greater facility, afford protection to t h e British trade from t h e depredations of the pirates. His Britannic Majesty's sloop of war, the Pandora, sailed with a convoy f r om Malta for Gibraltar, on t h e 27th April, and on the same day she was j o i n e d by a small fleet from Smyrna, after which the whole proceeded for the Gut. These letters confirm the accounts of t h e destruction of the arsenal at Cairo by fire, and state that it was not believed at Alexandria that the Pacha of Egypt would take any part i n the expedition against the Greeks. schooner, under the Tunisian flag, have entered this harbour, and two or three lijor'e still keep out. u The English captains are rather frightened to see these operations going on, especially as there is no English ship of war to convoy them, and not less than fifteen of them loading at present for England. However, our Consul has given a report of this to tbe Admiral, and we hope now to have soon ships of war to protect the trade in this quarter." In addition to the Internal bomb, now fitting with the utmost dispatch for the Mediterranean, there are two smaller vessels it: tirepantliuti, for the purpose of running into shoal water to annoy the enemy to continue our hostile attempts upon Algiers. These vessels are small sloops, both " commanded by Lieutenants in the navy, antl will carry one mortar each. Captain Parry, on quitting the Admiralty, at nine o'clock 011 Sunday morning, joined his ship at Northfleet. He was accompanied bv his brother, Dr Parry, by - Captain I . von, and a few particular friends, who remained with him till the last moment. They saw the expedition under weigh at three o'clock on Wednesday morning, and then returned to town in the Comet steam- boat. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

Advices have been received from Lisbon of the 6th instant, which contain ample details of the recent events in that capital. It is clear, from all the accounts, that a plot had been formed, at the head of which were the Q U E E N and her son, whose intended operation, in its fullest extent, was defeated; but, whether defeated by the refusal of the soil diery to proceed farther, or by the firmness of the foreign diplomatic corps at Lisbon, is doubtful. Private letters state, that the deposition of the K I N G , and the nomination of Don MIGUEL as Regent, was contemplated, but this bold step would only have been hazarded in a case of extreme necessity, and it was not wished to do more than intimidate the Sovereign into a compliance ; an. l so far it seems to have succeeded; for on the 3d instant, the K I N G issued a proclamation in which he directs that summary proceed^ ings shall be adopted throughout the kiti^, dom towards the guilty, that their punishment may speedily take place, while, on the other hand, he pardons all that hnd been done by his son, upon the ground that the urgency of the case would not allow of his previously consulting with his MAJESTY ' or his Ministers. At the date of the latest accounts, distrust and consternation prevailed among the people of Lisbon. DON MIGUEL was still at the head of the troops, but the wishes of reflecting men pointed to Lord BKRESFORD, as the fittest person to be placed in command of the army. ' 1 Dispatches from the Foreign Office, it is understood, were forwarded to Falmouth ori Wednesday night, in answer to the important communications last received, with ordersfor a packet to sail with them to Lisbon immediately. It is said that Ministers would not approve of Lord BERESFORD'S taking the command of Portuguese troops, under existing circumstances, lest it might compromise this country; but that the noble Lord's mediation, from his influence, would be considered as well applied, and likely to be most useful. * * Brussels papers of the 18th inst. contain a copy of the treaty entered into between this country and the Netherlands, for placing on a reciprocal, footing the commercial relationi bttwjen the possessions of the two countries in tlie Indian Archipelago, and on the Continent of India and Ceylon. In the House of Commons on Tuesday, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER obtained leave to bring in a bill to render the stipends of the Scottish clergy more secure than they had been under the provisions of a former act, passed in 1810, which regulated the amount of their salaries by the price of grain, without making a proper allowance ifor the fluctuation in that article. The ob. jeat of the present measure is- to give the minister a clear income of <£ 150 a year where he is in the possession of a manse, find of a year where there is no manse. On Wednesday the bill Was ordered to be brought in. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. London, May 21. " The French mail due yesterday reached town this morning, and likewise several expresses both from France and Holland.. The notice posted at Lloyd's this afternoon from Genoa, regarding the danger that threatened a number of British merchant vessels at Alexandria, by the appearance oif that port of several Algerine vessels of war, has induced several houses engaged in tlie Turkey trade to . communicate the information to Ministers, under the expectation that they will" immediately dispatch a nataj force, to afford protection at Alexandria and the imme. diate vicinity. The letters frcm Paris of Wednesday state, that it was understood that the sense of the Chamber of Peers on the bill for the reduction of the interest on the Rentes, would not be taken until next week. The opposition to the measure would be much more feeble than in the Chatn- Wfof Deputies. Advices have, we understand, been received from Lisbon, throng!) France, this afternoon, ofthe 9th inst. and they state that tranquillity prevailed up to this date, but serious apprehensions were entertained that until some example should be made of those most actively engaged in the disturbances that farther commotions would ensue. This trkethe day Axed fbrthe' 2d IttsMWtcntTO the Columbian loan of 14 per cent.; the total amount of the payment is £ 500 0110, but it is supposed that the public haye not more than one- half this amount, the chief part of the loan remaining in the bands of the contractors. Both the English and foreign funds experienced some alteration fcefore the close of business, and the panic occasioned in tiie tirst instance by the news from Lisbon has nearly subsided. The following were the closing prices. Mt F.

ARRESTS IN JAMAICA. Dr LUSHINGTON presented a petition from two individuals, natives of Jamaica, complaining ot outrages committed on their persons by the Governor of Jamaica, ir, subjecting tlieni to arbitrary arrests, and afterwards transporting them to St Domingo. ( Hear, hear.) It appeared, that, on the 15th of October last, they were seized, by order of the Governor, as aliens. They showed that they were freeholders, natives of Jamaica, and married to- natives. An application was made to the Court of King's Bench for writs of Habeas Corpus, and they were discharged, it being stated, that there were r, o charges agaihst them. The petitioners were liberated on the 2! lth of October ; but, in November they were again arrested on the same charge of being aliens and dangerous, and they were thenceforth transported to St Domingo, the most dangerous place they could be sent to. ( Hear, hear.) They were there seized as dangerous aliens, and, ai ap peared from tlie Ilaytian Gazette, they were about to be dealt with severely; but the authorities' at Hayti, having ascertained what proceedings had occurred in Jamaica, tile petitioners were released. They were then obliged to live 011 the boun'y of friends. The Governor of Jamaica never deigned to return any answer to their subsequent petition. In March, they quitted lor this country, ant! w re now here. He ( Or Lushiugtoh) had examined and cr iss- examined them, and he should never quit this subj; cr, until he had done all in his power to show, that this CKintrv did not. sanction such outrages. Mr WILMOT HORTON said, that an inquiry into this subject was now going forward. He understood, that the Mayor of Kingston informed the Dulje of Manchester, tbaMh'e petitioners were aliens and dangerous, and it appeared, on the recent trial of various rebels, that they had sold arms to the blacks. It was also alleged, that they were engaged in a treasonable conspiracy. These were the grounds on which they were arrested. If they were not true, the official authorities had incurred a serious responsibility; but the whole matter was in progress of inquiry. Mr BROUGHAM said, that the registers of baptism were adduced, that tlie King's Bench was satisfied, and that in the teeth of such decision the Duke of Manchester Red. Ann. flSJ. Consols, lifi.

The Assembly met this day at noon, agreeable to adjournment. After the minutes o f t h e meeting on Thursday and Friday had been read, the report of the com- 1 mittee tor overtures was given in, read, and approved of. - - ' His Majesty's letter to the Assembly and the answer were then read. One or two verbal amendments were made on the answer, which was unanimously approved of, and signetl by the Moderator, in tiatne o f t h e Assembly. His Grace the Commissioner was respectfully requested to transmit it to his Majesty, to which his Grace replied that he would do so with the greatest pleasure. The report on the F. nzie fund was read and approved of, and the Assembly appointed the reverend James Leslie to be minister of that chapel. The report on the Canada petition was given in. Dr MEARNS rose and slated the nature and object of the application. The Protestants in Canada were in a destitute state with respect to minister: and places of religious worship. They had presented a petition on the subject to his Majesty's Government, craving assistance, and had also applied to the Assembly, who had appointed a committee'to correspond with the petitioners, and circulated queries in order to obtain information, but considerable difficulties had occurred in the way of the committee receiving information from the nature of the country. In September, the Commons House of Assembly ordered some provision to be made for the establishment of religious worship—- The Commons also forwarded a memorial t o the Guvefniiient at home, and instituted a correspondence with the Assembly's committee, on the subject, An answer was returned by Government, promising aid, but requiring more- specific information on various points. In this situation the matter now rests. The measure was one of great importance, since, bv its adoption, it would give efficiency to the Presbyterian Ministers, in connection with our national church. Dr Ingt. is entirely coincided in opinion with Dr Mearns, as to the importance of the measure. When he considered, that it was to receive the aid and encouragement of Government, he had no doubt of the ultimate accomplishment of the object in view. The reverend Doctor concluded by moving, that the Assembly approve of the report and re- appoint the committee. Principal NICOLT. seconded the motion, which was We understand that a youug wotiiart of respectable connections, in t h i s c i t y , has been t a k e n into custody and examined upon a, charge of child- murder.

He objec .- d to the creation of these joint s'ock companies. The LORD CHANCELLOR » » « I theTc « !& s if practice r. o*- going forward which called for legislative- interference. ' 1 his practice was, that certain individuals set up a company, and before they obtained any sanction from Parliament, sold their shares at an enormous profit. It would be well to declare all these bargains null and void. With respect to the bill now before the House, he ob - jected to the creation of this and all joint stock companies, upon the principle that they were extremely dangerous, and might prove highly injurious to the public. In creating a corporation by letters patent, the Crown Jiad a power of revoking its authority, if it should be f. mnd injurious to the public. Such a power was not given with respect to companies created by act of Parliament. It would be well to consider whether Parliament ought to do more than to refer the granting of these letters patent for the consideration of the Crown. After a few words from Lord DARNLEY, the bill was throirn out without a division. SILK TRADE. The Earl of LAUDERDALE moved the third reading of thb bill for the repeal of the Spitalfields acts.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it might be convenient to Statejtfhat course lie should pursue, lie was quite satisfied that the scale of duties was founded on principle. It had hotcver. met with much' opposition in • Jhe House, and in consequence of the feeling against it, tiough he retained liiS opinion of the good principle upon yhlcli it was founded, he should proposq that slick scale of duties be excluded . from tile bill.—( Het r.)— As to the hther part of the bill, which related to retail beer, he should deem it his duty to retAin it.— tHetr, hear.) Mr- MABERLKY said, that the proposed alteration would make the bill still more objectionable; if it were retained it must be the ruin. of many publicans, who had sunk their money in the purchase of public houses. Unless, therefore, the publicans were relieved from the restrictions which now pressed on . them, but which did not affect the brewers, he should oppose the measure altogether, by moving that it be read a second lime this day tSx m » nths.

Seventy- six appeal cases have been heard in t h e House of Peers since t h e y t n of February. fore the Court of Session next week, which would occupy it two days in the hearing, and thus the Judges and several professional gentlemen might be prevented from attending the discussion.

M r WALTER COOK t h o u g h t t h e s u b j e c t of e d u - cation at home being of the greatest importance, should be discussed first. l> r COOK was of the same opinion. Principal NICOLL did not think that on the day the questions came before the Assembly, that it would give any decision on any of the plans, but that the mutter would be referred to a committee, and therefore it was of little consequence which of the two subjects were considered tirst. I t was then agreed that all overtures relative to religious instruction abroad should be taken up first on Thursday, and thai all overtures on education and religious instruction at home, should afterwards be taken up. The Assembly aareed that on Monday should be heard all petitions relative to new chapels, the petition of the reverend Donald Macdonald against a decision of the Svnod of Ross, the petition of the reverend Donald Fraser, as to the election of an elder, the petition o f t h e reverend Robert Hannah, against a sentence of the Presbytery of Brechin, and all petitions as to church schools. On Tuesday, that the case from the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr should be taken up. Oil Wednesday the Kiltarlitv case, and on Thuisday the foreign and home missions. A long conversation took place, whether a petition from certain members of the Presbytery of Inverness, craving to be allowed till Monday morning to give in answers to the complaint of the reverend Colin Fraser, on the Kiltarlity case, should be granted, it being contrary to the " regulations of the Assembly to receive any papers on a subject for discussion after this ( lav.

A1 THE THEATRE On Saturday night a new play, entitled " Waverlev," dramatised by MTCALCRAFT, from fhe novel ot that name, was performed for the first time, fur that gentleman's benefit. It was eminently and deservedly successful, receiving throughout the unanimous applause of a most crowded and brilliant audience. The play was strongly cast, including in it almost all the talent of the company, and it was acted with a spirit anil energy, that, notwithstanding its own excellence, greatly contributed to its success. The part of M'lvor was performed by Mr CALCRAFT with great power and vigour. Mr MACKAY'S Baron of Bradwardine was a judicious and correct performance, but it does not seem suited to his manner, which is dry and caustic. Mr PRITCHARD'S Waverley was spirited, and the little Mr JONES had to do as Prince Charles, was done with hij. usual taste and feeling. Mr DENHAM was an admirable representative of the brave and faithful Maccom) » ieh; his conception of the character, and his performance of it, showed that discrimination anil judgment which distinguish all the characters he assume*. The Laird of Balniawhapple in the hands of Mr MURRAY was highly amusing. Mrs SIDDOXS, as Flora MTvor, was truly great; At a judicial sale on Wednesday, a parcel of land, in Fifeshire, was set up at £. 9000 and odds, and was sold for upwards of £ 1 4 , 0 0 0 ; t h e rental of which is at present only £ 3 0 0 per annum.

The food wliicli should be avoided by dyspeptic people is that which is tough, acescent, Hand „ oilv, mucilaginous. The flesh of full grown animals is more healthful than that of young, except beef. Fish is not easy of digestion, nor is it so nutritive, as is generally imagined. Vension is good, and so is game, and eggs, in moderation. Soft bread is nut so good as stale, or biscuit. Fresh vegetables, from their tendency to ferment, are bad; and so are home- made wines. Cold lruits are bad, particularly the melon. Grapes, strawberries, gooseberries, and currants, are the ivholesomest. Turtle, mockturtle, and all other soups, as well as fat, cheese, milk, butter, & c. should be scrupulously avoided. Plum- pudding, dumplings, and all boiled flour, is poison to dyspeptic people. Drink should not be taken at meals unless thirst call's for i t : much fluid dilutes the gastric juices too much, and weakens their power. This is the reason that tea is so injurious, for many take three, four, and five cups jat a meal. Cider, when it is really good, is a wholesome drink. As a grand rule, eating moderately should be observed*- and not so often as people imagine; three or four hours at least should pass between meals. E D I N B U R G H N E W S C O N T I N U E D. When on the n i g h t previous t o her intended d e p a r t u r e from thence, at the hour of eleven o'clock, and after she had been undressed, three men forcibly entered lier bed- room, laid hold of her, and dragged her out of the house, where a large party were waiting, who regardless alike of her tears, prayers, or entreaties, hurried her, undressed as she was, to a considerable distance, where the author of this most infamous transaction was in waiting to receive her.— Next morning Captain GOODWIN and the Chief Constable of t h a t district, Mr WELDON, on hearing the circumstance, proceeded to t h e place of her confinement, a wretched hovel, and succeeded in releasing her. Here t h e matter rests for t h e p r e s e n t ;— but what greatly aggravates the circumstance is that the person g u i l t y of this crime is son to the gentleman in whose house the young- Lady was ou a visit, and though the family, we arc informed, were all up, not one of them came to the assistance of her, whom they were by every tie of hospitality and good feeling bound to protect. DEPARTURE OF 1TVRBIDE FOR MEXICOT h e intelligence respecting ITURBIDE is f u l ly confirmed, by the following additional d e t a i l s :— Every vessel which has come to England fiom Mexico, for the last four months, brought pressing invitations to General Iturbide to return to that cSuntry, which since his abdication, has been" distracted bv different factions, contending about the species of Government that ought to be established there. Tile provinces were all divided in their opinions, but in all of them the name of Ituibide lias been invoked a. i the only individual capable of reconciling them. It is well known that Mexico owes her declaration of independence to Ituibide's valour, prudence, and patriotism: hence the safety of the country is identified with his name. In abdicating the Crown of Mexico, he was actuated solely by a desire to avoid a civil war; he now returns to Mexico as a soldier, not only for the purpose of putting an end to the divisions which vex it, but also for the purpose of securing its independence, which is mennced equally bv intestine discord, and by the resolutions of the Holy Alliance. We are confidently assured that Iturbide resisted every solicitation which was made to him, until he became fully informed of the determined views of the Holy Alliance in assisting Ferdinand, by intrigue and hy secrct supplies of money, to attempt the subjugation of the whole of South America. Under these circumstances he felt it a sacred duty to return; he has gone, not with any views of' personal aggrandizement, but as a soldier, tomaint fc the independence which his own efforts and talents gave to his country. We understand that while Iturbide was here, lie made himself thoroughly acquainted with our institutions, and that it is his intention to use any influence which lie may possess in order to introduce into Mexico as many of those . institutions as may suit the genius of the country. He has professed the greatest admiration for the equal laws and liberty of England, and next to these he has studied our system of public education. Gifted with a mind of extraordinary powers, and combining with this the I first talents of his country as a military chief, toge- A very remarkable deposition of lime was produced to the Wernerian Society at its meeting on Saturday week. It had been formed in the tanks which hold t h e lime water t h r o u g h w hieh gas is passed to be p u r i f i e d. I t appears that one of t h e components of the giis, as it issues f r o r r r t h e retorts, unites with I t is true that our ingenious, and excellent friend, iDr Chalmers, lias proved, in certain situations, the possibility, and, wbere. it is possible, tbe propriety, of supporting f^ ic poor by private charity, although he hSs rioVyet [ shown either how long the impulse his enthusiasm' has given to the system will last, or how far that impulse is connected with the existence of the poor laws. But granting the permanent success of his plan in flourishing towns, and in the neighbourhood of opulent find benevolent families, who can be brought into contact with the poor by the influence of tuch a master mind, what is to become of the indigent in country parishes, where there are villages of the lower orders, and where the heritors are non- resident, or in towns where the poor bear a great proportion lo the opulent ? It is not pretended that the destruction of the poor laws will destroy poverty. Disease, and old age, and numerous families, whose only head is a widowed mother, or a bed- rid and helpless father, himself needing support, will still be found in as great abundance as ever. How then are these to b? maintained? By casting them on the clia. ity of their friends and neighbours? Yes, this is just as it should be, where fiiends and neighbours can be found rich enough and charitable enough to afford that maintenance. But, highly as we admire the enlightened views, which dictated the scheme, and the fervent mind, which implicitly relies on the generosity of public feeling for its accomplishment, when we look over the face of the country-, we dare not hazard the satne conclusion. We know something of the pressure of indigence, as it exists in various parts of the country, even at present where no poor rate indeed exists, but where the law of assessment acts as a salutary stimulus to open reluctant purses, and we really tremble to think, what the consequences might be, if that stimulus PERTH MARKET, May IS.

Now the rich are just in such a situation asyour's, when the gate happens to be between you and the miserable mendicant. They seldom come in contact with objects of compassion. The poor are placed at too great a distance below them to approach their sphere of observation, and hence it happens, that so little, comparatively, is done for the indigent by that class of society, while so much is done for them by those, who are themselves nearly in the same rank of life with the poor they relieve. There can be no doubt then, that to annul altogether the law relative to assessment would just be to throw the burden of supporting the needy from the shoulders of the rich upon those of the middle and lower classes. We know enough of the sentiments of the landed proprietors to be convinced, that the relief, which many of them now give, is extorted from them by the fear of assessment, and that, if this fear were once removed, the parishes, where there are no residing heritors, would just t e left to shift for themselves, with the burden of a more rapidly increasing, and therefore a more starving, population. We say a more rapidly increasing population,, for it must. be remarked, that the poor inhabitants of the country are at present kept in c'ueck, by the unwillingness which proprietors feel to build cottages, the inmates ofwhich may, in their old age or in sickness, be the means of bringing an assessment on the parish or of swelling its amount, where already established. Mr Kennedy's bill would entirely remove this check, and the temptation of obtaining an additional rental might then induce those very men to give imprudent facilities to the increase of the poor population, by parcelling out their land and erecting huts, whereover they could find inmates; so that, if at present the l'nge for pulling down cottages is severely felt by the poor as oppressive, the community would soon suffer under a contrary extreme, and the curse of Ireland would be realised in Scotland. Here then is a . delemma; and if there were no middle course to be pursued, it might be a matter of serious consideration to which class of evils it would be most expedient tosubmit; whether to retain the poor laws, with ali their demoralizing tendencies, or by rejecting them at once, to leave the needy to be starved— or, at all events, to allow the country tobe overrun with wretched vagrants and sorners. But there is a middle course, and we shall just mention it as a scheme which well deserves the public attention, without stopping at present to discuss the subject at any length. Our plan would be to deprive the poor of all right to prosecute lor a maintenance, leaving the kirk session and heritors, at certain stat. ed meetings, to judge of the aid their circumstances might require. But as, for obvious reasons, it would be quite inexpendient thai the poor should be left entirely at ihe mercy of the majority of a court so constituted, we would propose, inslea. l of the power of prosecuting now vested in the poor themselves, lo On Tuesday last the great annual cattle market was held on Cockhill, in the vicinity ot Cullender. The supply of cattle was scarcely so large as that of last year. ' The cattle dealers observe the result of this fair with great interest, as it has a considerable effect on the prices of cattle during the summer. By Sunday night a number of lots bad arrived ; and during the whole of Monday they were pouring into tbe town from all directions. A good many South country dealers attended, and business began early in the ( lav. Stots were very scarce, and very lew fine lots appeared in the market. Their prices ran according to their age and condition, from £ i to £ 6, 5s. The market was well supplied with heifers, and they were, in general, ill good order. Tile prices were from £ 4, 5s. to £( l, 8s. Only one lot of 32 brought £ 6, 10s. Onelot of 40excellent cows went off at £ 7, 7s. and the best lot, consisting of 30, went for £ 0, 17s. Cd. A pretty good lot of 10 went at £ 0, 5s. The other lots went off considerably cheaper. One lot of 100 good queys brought £ 5, 18s. and another lot of 30, in pretty good order, went at £ 5,5s. The result of the markel is that cows went at last year's prices. Heifers are up from five to seven per cent, and slots about ten per cent. A good ileal of cattle remained unsold, as many ot the south country buyers refused to give such high prices, and the holders would not submit to any reduction. The Sliahdon market was held on Wednesday on the usual place, in the neighbourhood of Drymen. The number of cattle, being greatly augmented by those that remained unsold at Callender, was larger than usual. One lot of ten excellent cows appeared in the markel, aud were much admired. They vvei e wintered in that neighbourhood, and were purchased by a gentleman from Glasgow for £ 7, 18s. A few lots were sold in the morning at the Cockhill rates, but long before the conclusion of the market the prices fell from five to seven per cent, under those of the preceding day. Tbe Morayshire Farmer Club, on the 7th install', took into consideration the great importance, in that district, of winter- feeding cattle in the most profitable manner to the farmer, and the likeliest to find an early market. To ascertain the breed and keep, most probable lo accomplish both these objects, they resolved to trv the experiment of purchasing twenty seven bullocks, of three different breeds ( nine of each), of the same age, and, as nearly as possible, of the same weight and quality. These three lots to be put under the management of three of the members, and an accurate account kept of the quality and kinds of food given. A public exhibition, and report oi the management, to be made of the whole previous to their sale nexl spring, and whatever profit or loss arises from the experiment, to be shared by the club. We believe the country lias never been recollected to furnish at so early a period of spring as the present, a more delightful appearance than it exhibits at this time. We have conversed, within the last two or three days, with several intelligent persons, of whom some returned from different directions, and more reside, at different distances from Cork, and all Boncur in stating that, from tlie present fine promise of the fields, an abundant harvest maybe anticipated. The sowing season, quite in unison with tbe husbandman's wishes, was so dry as scarce to include a broken day, and towards its close, sunshine and showers commenced, and still continue to exert their genial fertilizing influence in quickening the operations and clothing the naked surface of the earth with all the varied beauties of vegetation.— Cork Mercantile Chronicle.

The Farm of MILNCRAIG lies betwixt Ardross's Lands and the Cromarty Frith. It contains 200 acies of tine arable land, perfectly adapted for turnip husbandry, and, in fact, in the best state of culture, 184 acres of planting, and 175 of pasture, a great part of which is in the course of being rendered arable by the present tenant.

They comprise about 40 acres ef arable land, about 25 of natural birch and alter wood, and about 500 of moor pasture. The arable lands are enclosed and subdivided, and are out of lease. The present rent of this estate is £ 4ti3, chargeable, however, with 42 bolls of victual, and £ 4s, 5s. Sterling of crown rents. The tenant of Milncraig entered at Whitsunday 1822, on a new lease for nineteen years, with breaks, optional to both parties, at the end ot seven and twelve years.

[ From the Dumfries Courier.] A bill to regulate the relief granted to the poor in Scotland has been brought into Parliament bv our active and intelligent countryman, Mr Kennedy of Dunure, of which we think it right to say something, although, from the temper in which it has been received by the other Scotch members, v.- e rejoice to sny it is not likely to pass, into a law. Tha principle on which this bill is founded is that which has been so ably advocated by Dr Chalmers, and, in one parish, so successfully reduced to practice by him; and, indeed, we have reason personally lo know that it was drawn up with his assistance. It is almost needless to add, that the object of the igiv'e to every" individual inember'of the court, who measure is entirely to put an end to the operation should think that the poor were improperly dealt of the poor laws. Now, although we are by no with, a right » f complaint to a higher judicatory— means friendly to assessments, and think they can be safely regarded merely as a last expedient, to be resorted to only in cases of extreme necessity, vet we cannot but fear that, by this sweeping legislation, there would be the greatest danger of falling on Scylla in endeavouring to avoid Cbarybdis With regard to the provision which would make the proofs which a father could afford, by leaving six of; minister and elders the sole administrators of the liis children here for their education.

AUGUSTIN DE ITURBIDE. To Michael Joseph Quin, Esq. G 3 y's- inn. rnittipg the funds arising from accumulations or mortifications to their uncontrolled management. If there were to be no superintendence over them in the investment of such property, highly as we esteem their probity and disinterested benevolence, we are persuaded that they would in many instances go egregiously wrong. We do not entertain this opinion without good reason ; for more than one instance of the maladministration of the poor funds, even as the law now stands, has come under our own limited observation; and we are convinced it would be well if the legislature, instead of \ removing, would render more efficient the power of the heritors over the permanent poor funds. The duty which ought to belong to them is that of auditors of the session's accounts, and guarantees of all investments of their funds. With regard to the provisions of the bill by which the right uf assessing the heritors would be entirely done away, ultimately in parishes where a poor rate is now established, and immediately in all other parishes, we have much to object to such a proposal. We do not deny that the law as it now stands might be improved. The power conferred on the poor themselves, of prosecuting the heritors and session for a maintenance, is certainly attended willi many evils. It constitutes them, to a certain extent, proprietors of the land, and by giving them a legal right to demand support, destroys the very idea of charity both in the giver and { he receiver. The one class are thus led tobe clamorous, the other tobe reluctant; the one lo complain of injustice, the other of ingratitude; and thus a breach is made between the rich and poor which cannot be healed; and, what is worse still, all those moral feelings— all those kindly affections— which are called foi til on both sides, by the unconstrained beneficence of the rich towards the poor, are entirely destroyed. Nor does the evil end here. The reciprocal good offices " between parent and child, arising, from a consciousness of mutual dependence, on which rest many of the charities of domestic life among the lower orders, are most fearfully invaded by the right under consideration. When the law invites the poor to throw off the burden of supporting their relatives, it is scarcely to be expected that they will loog retain virtue enough to resist the temptation And then come all the vexations, andjall the demoralizing influences of litigation, urged on by pettifoggers cf the law, and by radical agitators. To remedy these evils Mr Kennedy brings forward his bill, by which be proposes to level the whole fabric of the poor laws at one blow, and to leave the indigent without any provision, . except such as may be found in charitable feeling and Christian benevolence. Now to this we greatly demur suy the Sheriff of the county, or rather the Lord Ordinary, whose decision should be final, and before whom both the complainer and his opponents should have a right to plead in forma pauperis, and to be heard summarily on mutual memorials. To prevent improper litigation, we would also propose, that it should not be competent to prosecute any complaint without a formal decreet of the Presbilerv of the bounds in its favour; and to guard against expence, and the interference of law- agents, we would still farther suggest, that where proof of poverty, & c. was required, it should betaken before the Presbytery Such is the hasty outline of a plan, which, ill our opinion, would go far to obviate the evils arising from poor rates, aud which, at all events, wouid certainly be free from the most formidable objections attaching to the bill at present before Parliament.

FOR SALE, DESIRABLE PROPERTY IN THE EAST OF FIFE, WITH A FREEHOLD QUALIFICATION IN THE COUNTY. To be SOLD by private bargain, R I H H A T P A R T o f t h e L A N D S of S T R A - X VITHIE, called the MAINS, consisting of450 acres or thereby; of these 317 are arable, and the remainder in planting, of which about 130 are in one ring fence, of 2o years growth, and in a thriving condition The lands are of excellent quality; are bounded on the south by the water of Keniy, and the Straviihie ( Burn, and afford many eligible situations for a mansion- house. They are distant three miles from the city of St Andrew's, and five from Anstruther, to which there are good roads. They are almost entirely enclosed with stone dikes, aad with the exception of a small part, were let in 1821 to a substantial tentnt, on a lease of 10 years, for a rent partly in money and partly in grain, which, upon a low average, gives a rental of about £ 540 a- year. The planting afford^ at present a considerable sum annually, and will' become every year more valuable, and estimating it at the low rate of 10s. per acre, the rent of the lands averages fully £ fi00 a- year. Tile farm house and offic s are new, cemmo lious, and in the best condition. The tithes are w lued, and within £ 2 of being exhausted. The other public burdeus are very moderate, and a new manse has latily been built. A Freehold Qualification for tile County will be annexed to the property. The local advantages of this property, nearly cqitilly distant from St Andrew's and the south coast, make a very desirable as a place of residence, or for tlie inves* ment of capital. Farther paititulars will be communicatcd by Messr*. Scott and Finlay, W. S. Northumberland Street; Mr W m. Campbell, W. S. Society, Edinburgh ; or Charlea Grace, City Clerk of St Andrew's, with any of whom offers may he lodged, and the gardener at Wakefield will point out the boundaries ofthe property. Day of Sals Fixed.

The Mansion House of t'itlochie stands 011 an eminence surrounded with fine old timber, mid commands extensive views of all. the neighbouring hills and weeded landscape on that side of the comity, the Frith" of Forth, and opposite coasts of the l. othians, and might, with a little repair, be made a comfortable and convenient residence for a gentleman. ' The lands abound with game, are of easy artless by good roads, i 11 the near neighbourhood of both coat and lime of the best quality, and only about five miles from tile royal burgh of Kirkaldy, where there is a well attended weekly market, for disposing of agricultural produce, and where every necessary for a family may be hail; and from which there is frequent communication every day with Edinburgh by the steam boats. The houses and fenccs 011 the es'ate are substantial and in good repair. The two farms into which the property is divided are let on improving leases for 19 years, from Martinmas 1829, and 1821, to the old tenants ( who were born 011 the lands, and who are most substantial men of respectabilityindustry, skill, and capital), at money" rents, calculated according to the late depressed state of agriculture, therefore they may be considered as real available rents, and at the termination of the current tacks, a rise of rent may be confidently expected from the improvement of the lands under the management of such good tenant.'. A power is reserved by the lease to the puicliaser, to take possession of the Mansion House, and Mains Farm, should he so incline. In short, a more desirable property is seldom offered to the public, The lands ate valued in the county Cess Books at £ 395, 13s. 4d. but the superiority of a part of New Grange, valued in the same books at £ 18, ltls. will be . disposed of by pciva- te bargain, and ihus allijid together more than a F'rebhold Qualification.
