HISTORY, with numerous Original Notes,. and a Life of the Au'bor. BT JAMES BEX. II. It is due to the Very learned author, of the life and notes which accompany this edition, t. o state, that he has performed his ta- k with exemplary Success; so much so, indeed, that the present edition must be pronounced to be vastly superior to all former new ones.— Evangelical Magazine, Oct. 1825. •' A Work so well known and so generally esteemed as the present, requires from us no Commend at ion ; and in noticing the present neat and cheap edition our object is rather lo call attention to the Notes by which it is illustrated than to the pro- duction itself.. In addition to the Standard character which all allow it to deserve, this excellent Woik possesses also a popular cast, which renders it attractive and amusing to those even who have not undone that previous course of study which is required for its thorough comprehension ; and to this class of readers the edition now before us will be found peculiarly valua- ble, as it embraces in the form of Notes, essential infoimation. These are chiefly geographical, and ate complied from the best authors, compared with the recitals of modern travellers. The ancient and modern geography of the classic land of Greece is admirably illustrated at considerable length ; and particular attention is given to the establishing of the site of the memo- rable Carthage. The notes will indeed be found extremely useful throughout ; and we have no hesitation in declaring our opinion that, in consequence of the introduction of this new feature, this edition bids fair lo be not only the cheapest, but what is of much greater importance, the best that has yet issued from the press."— Oriental Herald. No. XVIII. June, 1825.— See also Asiatic Journal, May, 1825, and Scuts Me- chanics' Magazine, June, 1825. ALSO, In 4 vols. 8vo. — Price =£ 1 10s. boards. The PROTESTANT, a Series of Fissays; in which are discussed at length those subject which form the distinguished features between true andfalse Religion— between the Chris- tianity of the New Testament and a Superstition, which has usurped the name: In which the mental bondage and per- sonal slavery— the absurdities— the cruelty— the persecutions the unrelenting bigotry— and the unbending intolerance of the Papists— now too much forgotten— are fully displayed and contrasted with the genuine principles of the gospel,. and the liberality oi* ttio l'roteslant Cliurchqs. " We must strongly recommend," says the London Christian Instructor, for November, 1823," this work to our readers, as fraught with important arguments and facts, that it has cir- culated widely the number of editions, is a sufficient evidence, and we hope that the reduction of its price will still farther ex- tend its sale."

Although no splendid procession, according to old " use and wont." some Tears ago. nor any demonstration of public r^- iictng marked St Crispin's Day, on Tuesday la. t, ( Oct. 25,) yetthedesc. ndants of their venerable ancestor, the good old king, did honour to his memory in copious libations ou the occasion ; although the edd saying was fully verified, " The twenty fifth of October " Ne'er- taw A $ « fftrr sober." Tills dav is • till recorded and kept a holyday in the English calendar. Two brothers. Crispinus and Crispiaous. were Itorn at Rome, whence the, travelled to Sc. i-. sons in France, about the year 303. to propagate the Christian religion. Being desirous, of rendering themselves independent, they gained a sHlwsteiicehv shoe making. It having been discovered that they privately embraced the Christian faith, and endeavoured to make pro- olyies of the inhabitants, the governor of the town immediately ordered them to he beheaded, about the year 308. From this tittle the shoemakers chose them for theirtute- Itir - lints. With reference to this day. we introduce an anecdote of Charles ( he Fifth. This sovereign, in bis intervals of relax- ation, used to retire to Hrussejs. He was a Prince curious to know the sentiments of his meanest subjects concerning him. self yid his administration, therefore often went incog, and mixed himself in saeh companies and conversation as bethought proper. One night his boot requiring immediate mending, he was direct- ed to a cobbler. Unluckily, it happened to lie St. Crispin's holy- day, aud. instead of finding thectl bler inclined for wotk, he wasin the height of his jollity amon^ his cquaintance. The Em- peror acquainted him with what iie wanted and offered htm a a hnnd- ome gratuity. What, friend ! " says the fellow, " do yon kiKiw no better than to ask one of our craft to Work Oil St. Crispin? Was it Charles himself, I'd not do a stiich for him now ; but if you'll come in and drink St. Crispin, do and welcome: we are as merrv as the Emperor call be." The Sovereign accepted the offer, and as a return for his Hospitali- ty, gave the cobblers a coat of arms, being a hoot, with an imperial crown on it. There is to be seen a chapel in Flan- ders adorned with a boot and imperial crown on it ; and in all processions the company of cobblers lakes precedence of the company of shoemakers. It remains only to observe that the shoemakers of ihe pre- sent day are not far behind their predecessors in the manner of keeping St. Crispin. From the highest to the lowest, it is a day of feasting and jollity. It is observed also, we believe as a festival with the corporate body of Curdwainers. or shoe- makers, of London, but without any sui t of procession on the occasion, except the proceeding lo a good tavern to partake of a ttooil dinner, and drink the pious memory of St. Crispin Besides this day being Ihe Anniversary of St. Crispin and the Battle ot Airincourt, it is also that of the accession of Geo. III. in 1760, and of the death of Hogarth in 176- 1. We are happy to learn, that a young Gentleman in Turriff has. ( luring the course of last week, collected 1.6 sterling for behoofof the widow and family of the unfortunate individual, lately murdered at Fyvie. Last wet- k. a grocer had several Dutch cheeses stolen off his counter; antl a confectioner, his neighbour, missed a number ofjttrs, containing jelly, from the same place. From several circumstances in tfiese ctoes. as . well as of other similar thefts which we have heard of. it is understood that they are effected by boys, who come into. the shops under some pretence or other, and hand out the articles to their confederates, who hang on ah tit the doors to receive them. On Thi. rsdtiy. a'woman who resides in Carmelite Lane, having to go nut an errand, left her child, about five years of age, to take care of a younger child in its cradle. The young gualdian, iu running about the room, had gone, as is sup- posed, too near the fire, by which its clothes were kindled, and its body burnt in snch a dreadful- manner th:- t ir died next day. Two girls, lately employed at a manufactory here, were sent to Bridewell last week, for purloining a quantity of ma- terial belonging to their employers ; and a woman, mother to one of ihe girls, for resetting the same, was subjected to tile ' same punishment.

Sheep 2s. to 4s. lower than at last market. A considerable number of inrenor cattle from Caithness remained utwold. We are h tippy to learn, that, bv the Turnpike Act for the County ( if Banff, passed last Session of Parliament, powers have been granted for building a Bridge over the river Doveril near Turriff. This B, ritlge has been long called for; and be- sides the great inconveniency to which the public have been subjected from the want of it. many narrow escapes have been made, and many lives have at different times been lost in at- tempting to pass the river when swollen by rains, or obstructed by ice, which frequently happens, particularly during the winter months. The erecting the bridge, and executing the necessary roads of approach, will be attended with a heavy ex- pense, probably not under £ 5000; and unless the greater part of this sum can he raised by subscription, it is feared the under- taking trust be abandoned. — A Subscription has been opened ; and although several handsome contributions are already given, they fall gteaily short of the requisite amount. The gentle men - t the vicinity are exerting themselves lo the utmost in . promoting the subscription ; audit is hoped their praise- worthy efforts, ill ( his respect, will meet with corresponding support from the public in general ; and more particularly from pa- triotic individuals connected with that part of the country, where the bridge is of such vital importance. JURY COURT. GEORGE LESLIE. ESQ. against ROBERT MENNIE [ Concluded from our last ] Mr Cowie called, and examined by Mr Wbigliam. Mr Cowie, are you Schoolmaster of the parish of Auchter- less? Yes Sir. Are yoil an Elder of the parish? Yes. Are you Session Clerk ? Yet. I am Session Clerk. Are you DeouleJustice of Peace Clerk? I am. Are you District C'erk ? Yes. Are vou factor on the estate of Hatton? No. I, I, only assist Hatton iit's business. Well, did you know the late William Murray, tenant ill New Mill? Yes I did. Do you know that he was principal tenant of the farm of Darley? So I understood it. Look at lhai if you please, ( the acceptance of the renuncia- tion on the back of the lease.) Is that your hand- writing, Mr Cowie? Yes, it is my hand- writing. Is Ihe signature at il, that of William Murray ? it has every aj^ Miaranee of being so. — . *-' * ~ Do you know Robert Mennie? I do. Was be a subtenant lo Mr Murray ? Yes. Who employed vuu to write that on the back of Ihe lease? William Murray and Robert Mennie. They both called upon ll, e at my own house, and I wrote it nut for them. From what took place in your own house between Murray and Menrtie and you. did you understand you were writing a document whereby — Mr Robinson— My Lord, I submit that this question is not remnetei. t. Sir learned friend is attempting lo prove by witnesses the contents nf an existing written document. It is qttile iffompilent to make out by parole evidence that a re- nunciation was granted. Mr Wfifgbatn — My Lord, with great submission. 1 atu only seeking lo pri. ve, by the present witness, what took place sr t:, is meeting, without attempting lo enter on the terms in which any w ritten document may have been framed. Your Lordship can controul the parole testimony if you think that it proceeds an nhj. s- tionable length. I have not a- ked the wit- ness what were the contents of the writing. I have only asked him to State the conversation which took place when the parties came to him. And— Lord Pitmilly— Put your questi- ut. Mr Whigh it ill—( To the witness)— Well Sir, what took place at this meeting betwixt Murray and Mennie and you ? They w ished me to write out a renunciation of Robert Meuiiie's latk. and th- y both seemed to regret it. What did they call the paper which they wished you to wvite? O, a bit o' a minute o* a renunciation, as Robert Mennie was givitt' tip's lease. Lnok lit thai ( ropy or scroll of ihe minute renouncing the lean- and restricting the rent.) I « that your hand- writing. Mr Cowie? ft is. When was this written, Sir? I'm sure it was fully a year tft^ rNe win ill's failure. Now Sir, who employed you lo write that? O, the late New- mill and Hubert Melinie both call. ,1 upon « ii>. anil Lord Pitmiily— K is Mr Murray whom you call Ncwinill ? Yes, my Lord, ' Mr VV trigham— Well Sir ?—( Witness)— Tittle is a lelter which I wrote lo Mr Hay, and which will be in Mr Chal- mers' possession, it ' I! tell every thing about it. Mr Whigham— Answer, yourself. Sir, the questions that are put to von. I ask what took place on the occasion how referred to? Wee I. the late New- mill said to me, that if he didni grant But I'll begin at the beginnin' o'l — Newmill called on me the day o' his failure— about April 1 think— and told me he was meetin' with a check, and would be ob- liged lo put's business into the hands o' trustees, but that IIK wished, in the first place, to give Robert Metiuie his lease at a reduced rent, but that he didna know in w^ at way it could he done, and w ished me to write out what was necessary. Lord Pitmilly— When was this? The particular time was taken down in my declaration at Knockleiib. It was the day o' Ntwmill's failure. He asked me to writ: a new tack to Robert Mennie. He said, he wished to do something for that poor man ; that he wouhlna like him to be turned out o' his house, for he didna know how soon he might be turned out of his own ; and lie said so with tears iu's eyes. ' But a' this is mentioned in my declaration at Knoekleith— in the declara- tion that Mr Chalmers took frae me there. Mr Whigham— Moot, boot; state the milter yourself Sir ' Wee I, I will. Newmill a ked me to write out a minute re- ducin' the rent from j? 25 to £ 15. Lord Pitmilly— Was Mennie present when Murray told you this? I, I forget the thing— Yes— no— Meunie wasna present. Lord Pitmilly— This is not evidence—( Witness)— I hope my Lord you imtlersrand what I say. I hope I'm under- stood. Newmill wished me to write out a minute givin' the poor man bis lease at a reduced rent, which I declined, and said it would be better if the trustees were consulted. Mr Whigham— Vou said, a little ago, that you were again applied to by Murray and Meunie on this subject ? Yes. And that this was fully a year after Murray's failure?— Yes, Sir. Did any conversation take place about the date which the writing should bear? Mr Murray wished a prior date put to it, that Robert Mennie might get no trouble with the trus- tees. And— Mr Whigham— Slop a little if you please—( Witness) — Atn I wrong? I am not wrong— I am stating what's right— 1 atn surely right— Said you I was wrong' Mr Whigham— I only requested you lo stop a little, that his Lordship mighi have time to take down the evidence. Now Sir, what you wrote was intended for a scroll or form was it? Yes, aud Newraill was lo copy it over him- self. Where was this to be written ? It was to be written oh the margin o' the lease, and Mr Murray wished it to be in few words, because there wasua much room. Did you see the tack at this time ? Mr Murray had the tack iit's hand. And you wrote out the scroll and gave it to Mr Murray? Yes, Robert Menuie went away ; and Mr Murray and I went into the school, where I wrote out the scroll, and he took it away w ith him. Now, I wish you to look at that on the margin of the lease ? Weel, I have. Is that a copy of what you wrote? Surrly. Is that Murray's hand- writing? Yes, I think so. Aud you said that this was fully a year after Murray's failure ? Yes. it w- as. Who w as principal tenant of the farm at that time ? New mill considered himself principal tenant. But Newmill was bankrupt? O. I suppose the principal tenant was Mr Cliishultn, or the present tenants, I am not sure. Lord Pitmilly— Take a little time, Mr Cowie, and tell me who was in the man. gemetit of the farm at this period ? It was the preseyt tenants. Take time ; you seemed in doubt a little ago; we wis] every thing taken accurately ; there is no hurry : now, tell me who was in possession when this scroll was written ? It must have been tbe present tenants ; for Newmilfs stibjecis wete rouped oil'. Who. are ihe present tenants? The present tenants, so far as consistent with my knowledge, are Mr Hay and. Mr Janiiesot). Cross- examined by Mr Robinson— Mr Cow ie, Mr Murray first applied to you in April or May, to get this minute writ- ten? Yes; Can you state the exact time? It's mentioned in my de- claration at Koockleiih. It was taken down there. That paper will be here? I wish to know from yourself what the time was ? It may have been about tlie end of April or beginniu' of May. Slate distinctly what Murray said to you on this occasion ? He said he wished to grant a new tack to Robert Mennie at a reduced'rent. When did he repeat that request to you again ? Yes, fully a year afterw- ards. p. M J.. understand Ihat there was any obligation c part of Murray to grant this new lease? Sir wiliglum — I am afraid my learned friend cannot prove an obligation tff this kind in that way. Mr Robertson—( To the witness)— When Murray applied to you on this second occasion, was it for the same object as previously? It could be for no other object. He said he wished to give the man his place at a less rent. Did you understand Mennie to be Murray's subtenant at this lime? Murray considered it so, but whether it was so or not I cannot say. Ditl he request you to be silent about the transaction ? No, he ditl not. Did you consider it any thing improper lo make out this writing ? I, I felt a little aukward. 1 thought it was owing to me that the man did not get's lease on the first application you understand me— and Mr Murray wished me to write out tbe minute. Did Mennie ever apply to you to write out any paper? No, never. Tire only thing he ever applied to me for, wasacerii- fictile of poverty. Lord Pitmilly— But Mennie was present when you wrote out the scroll of Ihe minute reducing the Tenl? Yes, my Lord. They came together— Mennie just asked me how I did— and Murray and I gaed into the school together— and I wrote . it there. Mr Robinson— Did Murray at that time consider himself as tenant? I couldna say. I know little about that. Lord Pitmilly— You say tbe scroll of the minute was writ- ten in the school; I see it is dated Newmill ? I dated it as at that- pi-. ee, because it was to be copied over by Mr Murray— I hope your Lordship understands uie ? Lord Pitmilly— I understand you perfectly, but it is right that these things should be stateil plainly. Witness—( After a pause)— Are you done with me, my Lord? Lotd Pitmilly— Mr Cnwie, you have given your evidence very candidly and distinctly. It was not a very proper Iransac- tion in'which you were engaged, but I suppose you were not aware of it's impropriety. Witness— My Lord, I beg your Lordship's pardon— I didna hear what your Lordship said? Lord Pitmilly — You are at liberty to go. Afier ihe other witnesses were examined, Mr Robinson spoke for the defence : May it please your Lordship, Gentlemen of the Jury— In addressing you on the part of the defender, I have to beg your attention to the true nature and hearing of this case, and to the points involved iu it. The quest ton is one of some difticnlly ; and, iu considering it, you will keep in view ( what will be told you from the Bench) that the facts appearing in evidence can only be applied in so far as agieeable to rules of law. The first issue is, whether tbe defender renounced to Murray the sublease. I do humbly apprehend,. Gentlemen, that what is necessary, in point of law, for the renouncing ofa lease, did not occur here. If owever strong you may consider the circumstances of this case to be, and however much they may tend to influence your opinion, still, in point of law, there wtts no renunciation; and if there was no renunciation in point of law, your verdict must he for the defender. Jn order to make a valid renunciation in law, it is necessary that a tenant deliver over to the landlord a regular writing, signed by him self, renouncing the tack. A learned author lays down that doctrine in a few words ( a passage from Erskine's Institutes read, bearing that- verbal renunciations may be resiled from in the same manner as verbal tacks.) Now, Gentlemen, it has not been attempted to be shewn that there was any writing under the hand of the defender, renouncing the sublease in question. There is merely a letler by Murray, saying, that he was willing to accept a renunciation ; but that is no proof that a renunciation was granted by the defender. Parole proof is quite inadmissible to establish this. Even although there may have been an impression oil the defender's own mind, that he had renounced, that will be no ground for your finding for the pursuer, if, in point of law, there was no effectual re- nunciation. An obligation constituted by writing, can only be extinguished by writing, aud you are bound to discharge from your mill's any circumstances which rest on parole testi- mony. In the action of removing before the Sheriff, an at- tempt was made to adduce parole evidence, atld I beg lo re- mind Ihe pursuer, lhat this was disallowed. The Sheriff Substitute, by Interlocutor, of dale ihe S7ili Sept. 1820, found lhat the sublease was tlowi. e affected or invalidated by Murray's trust deed, or the renunciation by bis trustees lo . Mr Leslie. And, at it has not been proven that the defender gr.\ n! e, I r. uy wi- ilfta renunciation of the sublease, T need not detain you longer on this part of the case, but shall pro- ceed to the second issue. The second issue, gentlemen, is. whether the minute re- ducing Ihe rent w- as fraudulently granted ? In considering ibis point, you will keep in view the pursuer's allegation that, iu 1817. Murray had no right to the lease of barley, that he had ceased to possess it, ami that the trustees alone con Id dis- pose of it. But. gentlemen.. I have lo call your attention to what the strict law of the case is.. By the trust deed, the right ' of property in the lease did not pass to the trustees. In suite of that deed, the radical'right still remained in Murray. You will- understand this wb& ii I state thai, in fact, Murray had uo power to assign his lease. The right of property could not be taken from him. Ol the renunciation^ by the trustees to Mr Leslie, you will set--. it mentioned, lhat assignees and sub- tenants are expressly excluded,. except in so' far as regards a sublease over Woodhead of Darley. And ' assignees being ex- c uded, the trustees right was not. an,! could not. be, completed. I shall read lo you a passage from Mr Bell's Treatise ou Leases, shewing that the assignees to a lease, even where as- siguing is permitted, can only complete their right, by obtain- ing the natural possession of the farm—( passage read.) Gen- tlemen, I do say that the trustees never acquired possession in this way. There is a paragraph iu one of the pursuer's plead- ings in tbe inferior Court process, where it is stated, that Chisholtn came forward as cautioner for Murray's composi- tion, that Murray gave Cliisholm the sole controul of his af- fairs, and that the trustees scarcely ever interfered. It thus appears that the trustees were not in possession ; and no inti- mation was ever made of their right. These trustees, no doubt, renounced to the proprietor; but if the trustees had. themselves, no completed right, the proprietor could acquire none through them. It is thus shewn, that the radical right was always vested in Murray, and in no other individual. This is proved by the simple fact, that Murray had no power to assign. If, then, gentlemen, Murray had no power to assign, the assignation to his trustees was good fur nothing, atld Muiray had still a power to grant this minute, reducing the rent to £ 15. and it has been proved that he was under a previous obligation to grant it. It appears from the evidence, lhat Murray considered that lie was doing nothing improper, that he was only doing what he had a right to do, and what he was under a previous obligation to perform. It is said, gentle- men, that the date which he has given to this writing, is proof of ihe fraud. But if Murray had a right to gram the tnimite, it is of little importance what date may have been affixed to it. If sifter a writing is promised, the granting of it be put off for sometime, it cannot be said to be a fraud, if ihe date at which tbe agreement in reality commenced be given to it. In the present case, the writing was antidated, merely to shew the time at which the reduced rent commenced, namely, to shew that for the year from Whitsunday 1817 to Whitsunday IS18, the rent of ,£ 15 was payable. As fraud, then, is entirely out of the question, it is in vain lo seek for circumstances to throw blame on Mr Murray, who did nothing mote than he - was under an obligation to perform. And with regard to the defender Mennie, be did not interfere in ihe matter. It cannot be said lhat there was collusion oil his pari, for he did nothing more than accept from Mennie of a reduc- tion of Jiis tent. Such being the Circumstances of tbe case, gentlemen, it must appear clear to you that there was no fraud on the part of Murray ill granting this minute, aud that he granted it in implement of a previous obligation which he had come under to Mennie. Lord Pitmilly summed up at considerable length ; after which, tbe Jury returned a verdict in favour of the pursuer on both issues. iftteccUamous: Nctus. AND THE GLASGOW OPERATIVES MR. HUIE, On Thursday the 27th October, the Associated Trades of Glasgow, by a Deputation from their number, waited upon Mr Hume at the Waterloo Hotel, to present him with a mag- nificent and massive piece of plate, as a token of their esteem for his character, and their gratitude for his services. Mr M'Aslah read over the following address: — Joseph Hume, Esq. M. P. SIR— The associated tradesmen of Glasgow, feelingly alive to the many instances of your attachment to the interests of the labouring poor, desire to testify their approbation of your po- litical conduct, and their gratitude for your unremitting assi- duity in their behalf. They Were flattered with the idea that yot: would have visit- ed Glasgow— that you would have in person examined into the causes of thi* great outcry which has been sounded through eVery tncrcei « ary and hireling press in the kingdom, that you would have, with your wonted diligence aud accuracy, inquired into the origin of the disputes ( if disputes there be) between masters arid workmen, and that you would have been able to i r « W « « a malitfnaM spirit which his been so busy in fomenting jealousies and heartburnings among the various classes of our great commercial city. They regret you have thus declined a personal visit, as, in spite of all the efforts of the unworthy, you would have been highly gratified to observe the cordiality that exists between the employer and' the employed. Instead of civil warfare, or reign of terror, which many base publications insinuate dis- tracts that great emporium of trade— no period within the last six years has presented a state of more profound tranquillity than what has been experienced since the repeal of the combi- nation laws—- for the truth of this we appeal to the Magistracy and citizens of Glasgow, and to the last Circuit repoit, which proves to a demonstration a vast decrease in moral turpitude. The public conduct and private character of the working classes have, within these twelve month*, experienced a change to the better.' Sar beyond what the most enthusiastic philanthropist could have anticipated. To what causes can this important change be attributed ? Surely not to the general prosperity of the times. Great and manifold sufferings have been patiently endured by thousands this season, yet" nothing has transpired to create the smallest alarm in the existing authorities. By every impartial person the causes will be traced to that memorable act which emanci- pated from political- thraldom, in the use of their natural rights the great mass of British subjects— and gave a stimulus to the public mind, by making the working classes feel their own im- portance, in exercising the privilege of disposing of their labour to the best advantage. The operatives of Glasgow having suffered under the undue pressure ofthe Combination Laws— through which no compro- mise could ever be effected between them and their masters, nor could they collectively adopt measures for their mutual benefit, cannot but approach, with feelhigs ofthe liveliest gra- titude, a gentleman whom they consider a principal instrument in destroying those records of legislative barbarity— they have accordingly deputed us to present you with this memorial of their esteem-— aud while amidst your Parliamentary labours, should the sycophants of party and power depreciate your efforts towards improvement-— may you turn with heartfelt satisfac- tion to the humble testimonial of the unqualified respect, affection, and gratitude of thousands of virtuous and industri ous wotkmen. J AS. M A SL A N. J. YS. BERRY. HY. DALGLEISIJ. After which Mr Hume read the following reply :—• GENTLEMEN', I am much obliged to the operatives of Glasgow for their good opinwp. I crime is on the decrease, from whatever cau « e ; ahd T am particularly glad that tranquillity exists in so gieat a degree in your large and important city. To have the approbation of so many of my useful and respect- ed countrymen, is to me most cheering, and amply repays any exertion and every sacrifice I may have made in discharging what I consider to be my public duties; but however painful to my personal feelings; I must decline receiving your splendid present, and all such tokens of esteem, under existing'clrcum stances. It would, indeed, have been most pleasing to me to have accepted them, but I feel that I ought not to do so at this time. So long as any clasi of operatives consider me ex- clusively as their advocate, while their employers or any of them look upon me as an enemy, it w< uld be most improper' for me, conscious as I am of the strictest impartiality iu every act, to accept tokens of esteem from the oneiu which the other did not concur. In instituting the inquiry, examining the evidence, and in traducing the bill for the repeal ofthe Combination Laws, I did not consider myself as acting for either party in particular, but for both. I fondly hoped that, by removing all the grounds of difference which had so long existed between masters and their men, each would be benefited— that a good understand- ing would arise between them— that the interests of tiie one would be gradually and firmly interwoven with the interests of the other, and that monopolies would be deprived of their chief support, restrictions of their arbitrary character, and combina tions of their former ferocity. I think so still: and when that period arrives, which must arrive, if not retarded by other and and more arbitrary enactments, then will I gladly receive your present, and then will I congratulate you, that the friends of free labour may receive the honest tributes of the employed with the approbation of the employers. That some interruptions of trade, and unhappj disturbance1 were consequent on the repeal ofthe Combination Laws, was tq me a matter of deep regret, but not altogether of disap pointment. I certainly did calculate much on the good sense of this operative elasse> of the United Kingdom, but it would hriVr heen madness fo n i » e cupposed that no great a cltin- re j could have been effected in s ishori a time without many mis- conceptions and some abuses. These, however, I was con- vinced, could only last for a time, while the beneficial conse- quences of the repeal would be perrpanent. Experience, T was certain, would , teach the operatives that Jaws could npt affect wages, and that the prices of labour would etfer depend, not upon statutory enactarient, but upon demand and supply. This truth, f am happy to find, is fast making its way, and such of <{ ie operative classes as fell int » the error of supposing that greaier wages couhi necessarily follow greater freedom, are be* coming convinced that this is not the case ; and that to com- bine against their masters, to cramp their energies or destroy their profits, must iu the end be fatal to both. It is a grievous error to imagine that either master or man, when moderately and judiciously addressed, will not listen to the language of conciliation. 1 have ever fo'tind the operative impressed with a desire to act justly towards his master and fellow workmen ; but when it has appeared otherwise. I am satisfied that it has arisen more from ignorance of the real merits ofthe case, or from a sense of resistance to what was consider- ed unjustifiable domination. And [ cannot persuade myself that the operative will ever adopt either coercion or intimida- tion towards his master or' fellow workmen, preventing that perfect freedom of labour and capital which the Legislature in- tended, and which are so essential to the prosperity of every kind of trade and manufacture. I must now tell the operatives, that their fate is in their own hands— that if intimidation or coercion of any description is encouraged and practised— if they willentertaiu erroneous anil ill- timed views of raising their wages by the means which the Legislature has given them to resist injustice and extortion when attempted against themselves, that then no feeble efforts of mine can avert the renewal of the old restrictions ; nay more, such efforts I would cause to make, rather than, by making them, hold out to the world lhat I placed confidence where confidence was not deserved. My motives have been much maligned, and my measures much misapprehended. To the wilful tntducers of the former I say ' nothing ; to those who oppose me for the latter, I can only declare, that if I have been wrong, I have been so in common with hundreds who have examined the evidence* traced the causes, and watched the progress of combinations. Out of upwards of sixty masters examined before the Select Committee of Parliament in 1824, only three remained mi- convinced of tiie absolute necessity of repealing the old laws, and in tbe Committee itself, consisting offorty^ eight members, ncluding Messrs. Huskissoh, the Attorney* General, and a majority of others attached to the Ministry, not one dissentient voice was heard against tli6 bill, after a most minute and labo- rious investigation of 36 days. To you, I have only to say, that my actions have been, and trust ever will be, what conscience dictates to be done," and no more. I have peace of mind from a conviction that I have honestly done'my duty without favour or affection to any party, nd I sincerely hope that the measures I have supported will be ultimately and as permanently useful, as my motives for bringing them forward were truly and sincerely well meant to all. Though I decline your magnificent present, I accept with great pleasure your kind and sensible address. I shall be ever happy to hear fiom you, or any of my countrymen, whether masters or workmen, and will most readily and respectfully listen to their suggestions and their wishes. I have only now to observe, that notwithstanding the diffusion of sound princi- ples, and the great progress that has been made, and is mak- ing, to clear away existing prejudices, a hard battle is yet to be fought against ignorance and selfishness; and as a humble com- batant in the field, I ca'l upon you, the operatives, to assist me; which you can do most triumphantly by the moderation of your measures, and the justice and propriety of your con- duct. Allow me again to thank you most heartily and affectionately. JOSEPH HUME. Edinburgh, Waterloo Hotel, 27th Oct. 1825.

After the con*, cushion the Ayr swung in on the Comet's larboard pji'ddle- liox.

The Comet stopped her ine whenever they thought the two vessels would corneal •• Outact with each other, aud if they had not done so, from thd immense power ofthe two boats, she would have gone down in a moment.

He ( Sutherland) is confident they might all have been saved. When bv found she was sinking, he endeavoured to take oftV his shoe*; but could not, as they were highlovs and faced up to tbe ancle.

He heard John M'Lach- lan call port" to the pilot of the Comet, which was done. This term means for the boat to fall to the starboard, which he believes was attended to. Their crew also cried to the other boat to keep off, but no notice was taken of this direction. Sutherland cried out, when the concussion took place, " you have done it now," but the words were scarcely out of his mouth, before the order was given u to set On the engine." The Captain ofthe Comet instantly ordered his engine to bo set on, and the boat to be run ashore. Four or five minutes after this she went down. The Comet's stern- boat was put'ott, but she was instantly overloaded, and went down.— Sutherland was cast away on the coast of Holland in 1817, at the time the Albion smack of Leith. bound for Hamburgh, was lost,. nd in 1818 he was on board the Stirling kteatn- boat, when she exploded at Grangemouih. A poor woman, the wife of Oonaltl M Intyre, residing at. Euglesbam, a native qf- Bonaw, with her family, consisting of* six children, were ail lost. She has been picked up, together with her infant and two daughters. Three ofthe sous are still missing. The unfortuna'. e woman was pregnant, aud within a few months of tbe time of her accouchement. Thus was tbe poor man, in an instant,, bereaved of wife ami children, and left a solitary, being in the world. SYNOD OF PERTH AND STIRLING. The Synod of Perth and Stirling met at Perth on Tuesday, the I8th Oc ober. After an eloquent and impressive dis- course from Acts xx. 27, delivered by the Ilev. Mr. Benuie one of the ministers of Stirling, and late Moderator of the Synod, the meeting was constituted ; apd having, besides settling other routine business, elected the Rev. Mr. Kennedy of Perth, Moderator for the ensuing half- year. The principal business of the meeting consisted in the con- sideration of an appeal from David Malcolm, L. L. D. preacher of the Gospel and schoolmaster at Madderty. It appeared that about ten years ago, the appellant had, by a dereliction from propriety, not mentioned in the present proceedings, fallen under the scandal and censure of the church. Proceedings had forthwith been instituted against lliin by the Presbytery of Auchterarder, who found tile libel relevant, and appointed lb same to go to proof. Aeainst this conclusion Dr. Malcoln appealed to the'Syno'd of Perth and Stirling, who affirmed the sentence of the Presbytery. The appellant then had recourse to the Supreme Ecclesia- iical Court, by appeal to ihe General Assembly; which tribunal iu May 1816, unanimously sus- tained the appeal— reversed the sentences of both Synod antl Presbytery— finding the procedure of'the latter in some in- stances irregular— dismissed the libel, and remitted the case to the Presbytery, to proceed in it de novo, if they should see cause. Itappeiirs that since the deliverance of the Assembly the Pres- bytery had done nothing farther in the matter. On the 5th of July last. Dr. Malcolm petitioned tiie Presbytery of Auchter- arder lo expunge from their records the whole entries relative to the matter, or give such redress as to the Presbytery should seem meet ; particularly as by law all ecclesiastic I slanders are proscribed in file years, that charge should nut be resumed. The Presbytery considering that the petitioner, a preacher of the Gospel, having in 1816 been served with a libel, charging hiin with a scandal of a serious nature— which libel was after- wards dismissed by the General Assembly, merely on account of certain informalities— the granting of ihe prayer of such pe- tition would be not only contrary ultra vires in tiiem, but wuuld he tantamount to a declaration on their part that they bad finally departed from the prosecution ; and seeing lhat by the law and practice of the church, such a scandal, if once noticed in order to censure, does not proscribe, tbe Presbytery for these reasons refused the petitioner's prayer. Against this decision Dr. Malcolm now appealed to this Synod. M. George Gardiner, writer iu Perth, and Mr. Sharpe writer iu Aucluerartler, appeared for the appellant; the mem- bers of tbe Auchterarder Presbytery present appeared for lhat body. A long and animated discussion followed, when a mo- tion to the following effect was ultitnati- ly proposed and agreed to:— That Dr. Malcolm's petition be dismissed, and the Pres- bytery enjoined to institute an investigation de novo. Mr. Sharpe, for the appellant, gave notice of appeal to the General Assembly, took instruments in the clerk's hands, and craved extracts.— The Synod then adjourned. LOSS OF THE COMET, FARTHER PARTICULARS. ( From the Glasgow Free Press of Wednesday. J GriuNoct, Monday Morning. We Inst night saw John M'Lellan, one ofthe tinder stewards, who was saved. He was sufficiently recovered to detail all he knew of the unfortunate catastrophe. Tile following is his statement, and neacly in his own words :— When the concus- sion of the vessels took place, he was descending the step; which lead to the cabin. He hastened dowij, and seeing John Heron ( another of the stewards, whose body has been found), resting on his right arm. apparetitly'asleep, he cried to hiin, " Johnny haste ye, the boat will sink !" Heron rose upon his legs,- and rubbing his eyes, replied to him in a manner as though he deemed his messmate was joking ; but lie had scarce- ly uttered half- a- dozen words, when the water, lo use his own expression, came " rushing in like a burn." All that were be- low now rushed towards the » tair leading to the deck, in the greates't confusion, many of them screaming iu a pitiable man- ner. As sotin as M'Lellan reached the deck, Captain Suther- land, who w as earnestly speaking to his lady, having hold of her hand, turned round to him. and asked—' Steward, will you be able to make for shore ?" He made no answer, not knowing what lo think of the matter. In the cmrsti ofa few seconds, he heard one of ti e crew. M T. at- hbn lie lliiuks, ex-, prtss his fears that they would be lost ; upon which he pulled off hi- t shoes, buttoned ui> his fustian jacket, and ascended one of the ropes affixed to the funnel. When he was a little w„ y up, Captain Sutherland tKnJa another appeal to him, but ho ( From ike Glasgow Court, r.) is determined to raise the Comet; and we lentil l! iat tlie rintendent, Mr. CUrk, gives it as his opinion, that it can She lies in clean ground, and It i superin be effected without dilfieullyT by actual soundings taken, her bow is. at half tide" in 17 1- 2 fathoms water, and 165 yards from the shore, her length ex- tending directly from it. So close was she that soon after the accident happened, a gentleman on shore distinctly heard the cries of the sufferer, for relief with ihe water gnrglrftg in their th roats, while struggling with death ! It is not probable any- more bodies will be found till the vessel is raised. Several lines have been broken in attempting to trawl close lo her side. The shock, when the Ayr came in contact with tbe Comet, must have been exceedingly strong, as ot, e of ihe bow timbers, full of tree nail holes, has floated ou shore. Our River Trur- tees are actively engaged in devising legulaliuus, such as inay prever. t the recurrence of such terrible misfortunes; and » » hope the public will follow up the matter, till, by a Legislative Act, the steam- boats, according to their tonnage, are, iike mail coaches, limited lo a certain number of passengers. We cannot omit noticing tiie following remarkable fact amongst the particulars relutirig to t is melancholy affair.

Monument at Waterloo The following is an- account. given by a recent traveller, of the monument now erect- ing by order of the Netherlands Government, to com memorate the battle of Waterloo :—" The monument, as it is called has a very imposing effect, in its unfinish- ed state. It is an earthen mound or hill, of a conical form, resembling the one on tho Bath road, near Keu- nett, but of larger dimensions and more striking appear- ance. It is of immense size, being upwards of seven hundred feet diameter at the base, or two thousand one hundred and sixty feet circumference. It is two hundred feet high, and one hundred feet in diameter at the top ; there is a double carriage road willing round it, . in a spiral form, aud supplying an easy matins of as- cent for carriage to the very top, and bv this road the materials have been, and are conveyed to complete the work. In the centre is . a shaft of brick work., which has been carried up from the bottom, and is. still going on. It is to be sixty feet higher than the top of tbe mound, making the whole height ? 60 feet. It is iu- tended for a pedestal, to receive a lion twenty- one feet long, and twelve A- et liigli, whichjs ready to be put up when the work is finished. The mound has been eigh- teen months in hand, and is to be completed in° six more, and from what has been already don. e, little doubt remains that it will. he so. For the first twelve moatli3 2,000 men, and 600 horses, and as many carts as couitl be kept at work, were employed on it, and the number hgf only beep reduced as the termination of this undertt^ W approaches.

Leicester immediately upbraided Bowyer, called Inm a knave, and said he should not long continue in office, at the same time proceeding towards the Queen's apartment.

The greatest anxiety evinced by James the First, ' during his reign, except in the detection and punish- inent of old women for witchcraft, was for the recovery ofa hawk which he had lost in sporting. Sir Anthony Weldon savs, that " the King being at Newmarkpt, ' ilelighted much R> fly his goss: hawks at herons, and the conflict was this : tllfc heron would mount, and the hawk would get much abovfe it ; then when the hawk stooped Hi the game, the heron would turn up its belly to receive her with his claws, and sharp bill, which the hawk per- ceiving, would dodge and pass by, rather than endanger itself. This pass being over, both hawk and game would mount to the utmost of their power, till the hawk being got above, would be at another attempt, ami Hivers such assaults, bv some lucky hit or other, the hawk would bring her down. Hut one day a most excellent hawk, being at his game, in the King's pre- sence, mounted with his game so high, that both hawk and herup got out of sight and were never seen more. Inquiry was made, not only all over England but in all the foreign princes' courts in Europe, the hawk having the King's jesses, and marks sufficient whereby it might be known, but all to no purpose." MAGNETIC EQUATOR.— The magnetic observations made by Cap'ain Duperrey, of tbe Coquille sloop of war, which sailed from Toulon on a voyage of discovery in August 1R22. and returned to Marseilles in April last, are numerous and interest- ing. Every body knows thai there are oil the • surface of the globe a number of spots where the compass ceases to point, and that a line drawn through these spots is called the magnetic equator. This equator must not be confounded with the ter- restrial equator, round which it winds, as it were; sometimes passing to the north of it, and sometimes to the south, to a greater or less extent. In tbe course of his voyage, Duperrey grossed the magnetic equator six times; and the result of bis observations rendered it extremely probable, that the whole line is moving parallel ly from east lo west, with such rapidity, that, since the year 1780, when its position was ascertained by scientific man in a very satisfactory manner, it has advanced no Jess than ten degrees towards the west.— French Paper.

These last have for some time seized upon all Austrian vessels which have Turkish property on board, and those ships are condemned bv the Board at Nnpoli di Romania. It is the interest of the Austri- an Government not to allow the validity of a doctrine, which it has reprobated for fiftv years. It is understood that fresh instructions have been sent to the Commander of the Austrian naval force in the Levant, to enforce the observance of the system adopted by the Court of Vienna, and in case the Greeks refuse to comply, to adopt further measures against them. But it is likewise asserted that oiders have been given for all Austrian ves- sels to abstain from carrying troops or warlike stores for the Turks or for the Greeks, because this would be equally contrary to neutrality. The effect of these orders in the Levant remains to be seen. FRANCE. PAllts, Oct. 28.— The health of his Holiness is still very precarious, yet it cannot be said that he is in danger; as no bulletins are published. Among the alarming reports that were spread, a spitting of blood, and some symptoms of dropsy, were spoken'of, but these have been contradicted. There are various reports respecting Spain, and Iter long talked of decroes of, amnesty and regulations of regimental purification, which have not, however, as- sumed any more definite form than their predecessors. It would seem that she is now willing to receive pro- posals from her South American colonies on the sub- ject of their recognition as Independent States. The late transaction of France with the Republic of Hayti, seeins to have opened the eyes of Ferdinand to a mode of re- plenishing his empty coffers which had not previously been contemplated by him. On the night of the 15th of October, a sacrilege was committed in a church in the Department of Upper Garonne. The tabernacle and pyx were carried away, and the consecrated host scattered about the altar. The robbers had also attempted to break into the sacristy, but did not succeed. The Mayor ofthe commune, on hearing of the circiimstauce, hastened to a village where persons on whoru suspicions fell resided. On passing through a little wood near the place, he found a foot and handle of the pvx, or holy box. It would seem that the robbers, finding them to be nothing more than gilded copper, threw them away, keeping only the box itself and cover, which were of silver. GERMANY. GENOA, Oct. 19.— His Sardinian Majesty's ship the Commerce, of Genoa, commanded by Commodore Sivoie, arrived sit this port yesterday morning from Tripoli in the west, with news that the differences which existed between the King of Sardinia and that . Regency had been settled in a satisfactory manner for the former, although not without having btvn obliged to have recourse to hostilities. The following is a statement of what is currently re- ported to have taken place on this occasion ; without . however answering for its correctness, as nothing offi- cial has yet been published on the subject. > " - It is said that the Sardinian squadron, on their ar- rival offTripoli, sent a message to the Bashaw, inform- ing him they had come to land the Consul; that the Bashaw returned an answer refusing to receive him, unless certain sums ha claimed under various pretences were paid to him. On which it seems the Sardinian Commodore sent on shore his ultimatum, that unless the Consul was accepted without any payment, he must proceed to hostilities, and gave the Bashaw three days time to reflect' on the matter. • That on the third day an answer came from the Bashaw, saying that he per- sisted in his resolution, on which Commodore Sivoie made ai signal to attack the place, which, owing to the shoals and shallow water, was chiefly performed bv the lirig Nereid and the armed launches, skiffs, and boats of the fleet, which kept a brisk'fire on the castle iind • forts of the place. " It is added the boats boarded, took and burnt three of the Bashaw's cruiiers winch " were lying in the port ready for sea ; landed a body of men in the docks, and set ' fire to a brig on the stocks, which was partly burnt. That after this the Bashaw sent the British Consul off to the Commodore with a carte blaiwhe to make up matters on the best conditions he could. In conse- , quence of which hostilities ceased, the Consul was re ceived, and the former treaties were solemnly renewed. It is farther reported, the Nereid had oiie man killed and seven wounded. We have not been able to learn what losses in men the other vessels have sustained.' The squadron consisted of the Commerce of Genoa, ( iOguns; Christina, 44; Triton, 28 ; Nereid, 14; and three transport brigs. FRANKFORT, Oct. 17— The Cabinet of Vienna is nWt to discuss a question of the law of nations, the de- cision wh'i^ h involves impoitant consequences. This / pvstion has, iu fact, been agitated by the maritime jiowers on former occasions, and was solved in a manner conformable to the principles of humanity, which will Jiave theevils of war alleviated as far as possible. The question, at present is this, " Shall the maxim that the flag covers the merchandize, be considered valid • in the present war, between the Greeks and the Turks?" This system was formerly adopted bv most of the powers, jmd confirmed by special conventions. During the American war, it was solemnly laid down by France, Spain, and Holland, and was the basis of the armed neutrality, of which Catherine II. was at the head. All the powers ofthe North, and even Austria and Prussia, recognized this principle, and at the same time England alone supported the contrary system, that is to say that one of tlw belligerent powers has the right to seize all property belonging to its enemy, no matter under what flag it niav lie embarked. England maintained this sys- tem during the wars of the J'rci. ch Revolution, but of GREECE. The following letter to the Chairman of the Greek Committee, from a Gentleman recently returned from Greece, gives a very gloomy view of the present state of affairs in that country, and traces the misfortunes ofthe Greeks to the very injudicious manner in which the loan has been applied. The letter is entitled to the utmost attention. The writer, Mr. EirERSOV, is a young man of good family in the north of Ireland, of high honour, and possessed of an excellent understanding. He advises a change of system with regard to the appro- priation of the remainder of the loan, as the only means of preventing a total loss :— LONDON, Oct. 27; " Sm— It is now upwards ofa month since my departure from Greece for England. At the moment I sailed from Cephalonia, the retreat of Ibrahim Pacha from Tripolizza to Kalamata, and the retiring of the Turks frotn before Misso- longhi, seemed to be the winding up ofthe campaign, though both the hostile fleets weie still at sea— the Turks at Rhodes, antl the Egyptians at Alexandria ;' and no accounts bad been received from the Greek squadron under Miaoulis, who bad sailed southward to follow and thwart their movements. Of the progress ofthe revolution during the year, and my move- ments io discharge of the duty confided to me by the Greek Committee, my letters have before informed you ; a glance at the events of the campaign must at once show that Greece has been retrograding, and a very slight investigation will be suffi- cient to convince you, that the misfortunes of the present year ' have been attributable to the abuse of the means placed in the bands ofthe Greeks, as much as to the deficiencies of their military force. The sums of money which have from time to time been sent fo GT- eece, and which, if properly managed, could not have fail- d, long ere this, to have freed the country, have, by their mal- appropriation, become its chiefest bane ; bad tiie reasonable suggestions of Colonel Stanhope, on the first negociaiion of the loan, been attended to. these disastrous consequences must of necessity have been avoided, but instead of placing the money in the care of economical and trust- wor- thy individuals, at least till an unanimous and united Govern- ment should be formed, it was at once poured, without re- straint, into the hands of the factious, imbecile, aud contend- ing members of the present Executive Body. Men, whose talents were far inadequate to its distribution, and whose honesty for its protection was by no means above suspicion. The consequences have been as might be expected, that the thousands which have been monthly arriving ill Greece have as regularly disappeared, and instead of the expected advantages accruing from its distribution, Grcece now possesses an army constantly murmuring for arrears of pay, a navy mutinous for increase of wages, and a government as usual at its old whine, We have no funds in hand.* What has become of all those sums of money 1 am not prepared to say, nor do I know whe- ther to credit the report ofthe seamen, that' tile Capitani have consumed it by pocketing the pay of the army ; the complaint of the soldiers that the sailors receive a more than partial share ofthe money : or the universal outcry of all, lhat it has been embezzled by the government. It is sufficient to see, that of the immense sums already popred into the country, no available use bas been made. It has neither been expended on arms, ammunition, nor the repair of fortresses ; and though infinitely more than adequate to the support and provisioning of their naval and land forces, both are disconsolate and repining. Paa- 0 Castro and Navarinobave been lost for want ofprovisions. Missolonghi has narrowly escaped the same fate. Not one unattached fortress in Greece, with perhaps the exception of Athens and Napoli di Romania, is eitiier garrisoned, stored, or in any situation for defence, whilst during the last 6 months instead of accomplishing the short step to freedom which they seemed to want at the commencement of the compaign, one of the most important fortresses, Navarino, has been lost— the country has been overrun, pillaged, and desolated ; the enemy have approached to the very walls of the capital, and again re- tired to rheir head- quarters through the most debateable passes, uninjured, and almost unopposed. As to the payment of the seamen, as far as I have had experience on board the Greek fleet, it is regular, though exorbitant; but that of the land forces is conducted in a shameful manner. A few days before. I left Napoli di Romania, a soldier of the regular coFps told me, that for three weeks he had received no pay, and no other provisions than his rations of brown bread. As to the irregu- lars, their Captains are perhaps the most abandoned portion of the population. Their drafts for pay for their soldiers are usually for double the number actually in their service, so that though rations and money are issued for 25,000 or 30,000 men, I have not been able to learn that their numbers have ever ex- ceeded 14.000 or 15,000, and what is still worse, even these unpaid, the money flowing into the purses . of the Capitani, whilst the soldiers receive in lieu billets, or rather robbery order on the villages ; and so much is the country in the hands of these men, that the Government, though well aware of their system , of robbery here, never had the resolution or the power to take any effective steps for its amelioration or sup- pression, " Turbulent and ambitious before, a new spur has now been given to the factions of the Government, by the uncon- trolled disposal of such apparently incxhaustless treasures, so that formerly disunited, every ambitious Member of the Legis- lature now sees in hts colleagues, no longer coadjutors, but spies and rivals ; the jealousy existing between the Moreots and ilo'umeliots, the Hydriots and Spezziots, the islanders and the inhabitants of the Continent, have now been widened by petty dissensions ; the offspring of envious avarice, till all subordination to the Government, or co- operation with each other, has disappeared before the more attractive stimulants of wealth and self aggrandizement. - It has ever appeared unaccountable to me that the Com- missioners of the Loan, w| ip must be supposed to tie well aware of th* national character of the Greeks, as well as the little confidence to be- placed in the Members of the Government, should frorii time to time send ofl'the instalments of tlie loan with no talented agents in Greece to look after its disposal, and apparently- with none, or a very erroneous idea of its abuse of applii~ tion, and of their prospects of reimbursement under the present system. •' The crisis of lhat unfortunate country now calls imperi- ously for a reformation, which if not effected, the consequences must be, that every 40 or 50,0001. will disappear as hereto- fore, a lew days after their landing, without any one knowing how. or able to point out an object attained by their expendi ture; and tiie result will be. that in a few months, without military stores or necessary supplies for their army, with an in- famous crew of commanders, and a crowd of murmuring and disheartened soldiery, an inefficient fleet, and a disregarded and inadequate government, the country must be lost, and with it perish every hope of remuneration to the contributors to the loan. " That the present Government should longer continue in office, imbecile and despised as it is, mu- t, under any circum- stances, be prejudicial ; and though a few honest men may still be found in Greece to compose a new Legislature, doubt much whether the money, though it might be sacred under their protection, would be more economically or judi- ciously expended. Of the ultimate success of the Greeks, however their prospects may at this moment be overclouded. I see no reason to despair. They possess a country, by nature eminently calculated for defence ; an army, however defective in oilier points, at least not deficient in courage and endurance; a navy, whose succMses have borne ample testimony to their intrepidity ; and funds, if properly applied, adequate lo elicit any advantage derivable from their forces and situation. Hut, it is deeply to be reg relied, that at this moment Greece con- tains no man of distinguished abilities, to guide her efforts or improve the opportunities afforded her. I) ny after day is now rapidly hurrying her towards her fate : and, without an instant reformation, the most disastrous consequences may be antici- pated, To prevent which, the means now rest with the con- Haulers ofthe loan. It would not be difficult, in iny opinion lo lirtd a A- w E. ir. iprans of <> nl « >: pr< V nn'ii Islent adequate to the task » if curreitiiig the abuses in the Greek army aiid navy, and of sufficient probity, to he piimsted. in conjunction with those ofthe natives who may lic'dcemed worthy of confidence, with thecha'ge and distribution of the funds, as well to pie- vent their embezzlement as to watch with vigilance that they are conscientiously and advantageously expended. Let the pay n1 nt ofthe troops be at once transferred from the hands of the infamous Capitani to those, who shall likewise be vested w ith the power of procuring the necessary stores and provisions for the navy and the land forces, and who shall narrowly ob- serve that no sums are issued for irrelevant purposes, and that all lie applied to the accomplishment of the objects lor which they are drawn. " What man will, in the present state of affairs, be willing to place himself at the head of a mutinous force, over whose allegirtiite he has no other lie than that of interest, whilst he is utiaware ofthe moment when their pay may cease, or be in- tercepted, and whilst he is well aware thai the sums allotted for lhat purpose have been embezzled or abused ? " All seem aware that their only want is a man ofUalents, a foreigner of course, to assume the direction of their operations; but till these circumstances are plaJb- d on a proper footing, none of these now ready to volunteer their services can be sup- posed to be so foolish as to venture his life or reputation in such a cause. Let those who have now the means of saving a falling country beware how they abuse it— let them consider, that not only the freedom ef Greece, but the existence of 3.000,000 of human beings are at slake; let the funds dedicated to so sacred a cause, and now the only hope of its success, be no longer flung, as it were, on the shores of Gree .', a prey to every plunderer; but let such agents be found, and such means be instantly adopted, as may insure their protection and con- scientious disposal. If such steps be nut taken, if the remainder of the Grecian loan be wantonly abused as heretofore— the desperate consequences cannot for an instant be doubted, Greece must sink Ivneath her blood- thirsty tyrants, and every shadow of a possibility of remuneration be withdrawn from those who have contributed their portion to the sums thus heed- lessly abandoned. " Let the holders of the Loan reflect, that the success of a cause to wh-' ch the eyes of the world arc direeted with straining eagerness, is at this moment vested in their hands ; and even it a feeling of honourable patriotism is unequal to arouse their exertions, they may rest assured, that the destruction of every chance of reimbursement or personal advantage, must be the inevitable consequence if further ne'glect. •' 1 remain, Sir, yOufobeiiTent servant.

EAST INDIES. ( From the Supplement to the London Gaxelle of Tuesday October 25, dated Friday 28.) Political Department, Fort William, April 29, 1825. The following Copy ofa Dispatch, received this day from Brigadier- General Sir Arch. Campbell, K. C. B. and K. C. r. S. is published for general information :—> Sin — My dispatches of the 29th ult. would inform you of my arrival in front of Donabew, as well as of my motives for having retraced my steps lo that place, 1 have now the honour to acquaint you, that the fort, and different redoubts fell into our hands this morning, with all the ordnance, stores, depots, & c. & c. having been evacuated and abandoned by the enemy in the course of last night, and it affords me great satisfaction to add, that this important point has been gained with a trifling loss on our part. I found ihe foit of Donabew much too extensive to be sur- rounded by my small force; and although fully aware of the great importance of every hour of the declining season of mili- tary operations, I preferred the loss of time lo the loss of lives, and resolved to lake advantcge of our means and science in the reduction of the place, I in consequence ordered some heavy guns and mortars to be brought up, and landed, and with much laborious exertion on the part of all employed, our mortar and enfilading batteries were opened yesterday, and the breeching batteries had just commenced their fire at day- light Ibis morning, wiien the enemy's small rear guard was discover- ed in full retreat towards the jungle. The place was immedi- ately taken - possession of, and iu addition to the long list of guns, & c. found on the works, we have taken granaries and depots of grain sufficient for the consumption of this force for many months; all the wounded and sick found in the place join with the deserters who have come in, in positively asserting ( he death of Malia Bundoolah ; and from the circumstantial manner in which the story is told by all, I can have no doubt ofthe fact. He is said to have been killed by a rocket while going his rounds yesterday morning, and no entreaty of the other Chiefs could prevail upon the already panic struck gar- rison to remain longer together. They have fled through the Jungle,, in the direction of Lamina, and I have reason to hope few of them will again appear in arms against us. During the siege tha enemy made several bold and desperate sorties on our lines, but were on all occasions quickly repulsed. In one of these sorties, a scene at once novel and interesting presented itself in front of both armies. Seventeen large elephants, each carrying a complement of armed men, and supported by a column of infantry, were observed moving down towards our right flank ; 1 directed the body guard, under Captain Snedy, to charge them, and they acquitted themselves most handsome- ly, mixing boldly with their elephants ; they shot their riders off Iheir backs, and finally drove the whole back into the front. On this occasion, 1 also observed the energy and activity of the Bengal Horse Artillery and Rocket Troop, under Captains Graham and Lumsden, as very conspicuous. The unremitting zeal and activity of Lieut.- Colonel Hop- kinson and Captain Grant, Commanding Officers of Artillery aud Engineers, during a most trying period, merit my peculiar notice, and their skill and attention in carrying on the ap- proaches before this place, reflect upon them the highest cre- dit. I now beg leave to acknowledge my obligations to Captain Alexander, C, B. of his Majesty'sship Aligator, senior naval officer, and commanding the flotilla, for his hearty and cordial co- operation on all occasions since we have served together, and for his very great exertion on the present occasion, in bringing up stores and provisions. Since we have been before Dotiabew, eleven of the enemy's large class war boats have been captured by our advanced boats, under his own immediate orders; miking with others evacu- ated by their crews, 38 first- rate war boats iu our possession ; and I have every reason to think that only five of the large iquadron the enemy has stationed at this place, have succeeded in escaping. A vast number of other boats of an excellent description have also fallen into our hands. In Ihe course of to- morrow part of my force will be again motion towards Prome. I have the honour to be, & c. ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, Brig.- Gen. Ilead- quarters, Donabew, April 1825. Here follows a general return of killed, wounded, and missing, from the 25th of March Ut the 1st of April, 1825, making in all 8 killed, 60 wounded, and 1 missing, includ- ing Lascars, Coolies, 6sc. Names of Officers wounded— Madras Artillery— Lieutenant Symes, severely, not dan- gerously. His Majesty's 47th regiment— Lieut. John Gordon, se- verely, not dangerously. . The return of ordnance and^ pilrtfry- stores captured amounts to— brass guns 28, iron ditto 139, jinjals 269, iron carro- nade one. Several other dispatches ' have been reeeived, though not officially transmitted, of which the following is the substance : It was Oil tlie 25th of March that Sir Archibald Campbell reached the vicinity of Donabew, and immediately dispatched Major Jackson with a detachment to open a communication with Brigadie'- General Cotton's division. This was ef- fected, but Major Jackson's return was intercepted. In conse- quence General Cotton determined to force a passage by water, The troops were, therefore, embarked in boats, and the flotilla was headed by the Powerful cutter, which the Diana steam vessel had taken in tow. They passed within half range of Burmese battery, by a shot from which Lieut, Sym « ; was wounded. The Burmese war- boats, 21 in number, then sallied forth to attack our little squadron, when the steam ves- sel suddenly cast off the Powerful, dashed in among the war boats, and took or destroyed thiiteen of them. It was on the same day that the enemy's attack with elephants occurred, which Sir A. Campbell describes as a novel and interesting scene. The enemy were alike foiled by land aud water, and the two divisions of the army effected their complete junction. Protne was taken on the 25th of April; and with it, 101 pieces of ordnance fell into our hands. Nearly one quarter of the town was destroyed by fire. Prince Sarrawuddy, w ith the remnant of his people, was retiring direct upon the capital, destroying the villages, grain, boats, & c. of every description, which lay in the line of his retreat. A reinforcement of troops, and 30 pieces of cannon, were within a short distance of Prome, when Sir Archibald Camp bell took possession of it. The troops had dispersed, and the greater part of the guns together with the war boats, had fallen into the hands of the flotilla, under* the command of Capt. Alexander, It. N. LONDON, Oct. 31. Letters were this morning received from Bogota, dated August 20, which state that a division ofthe Colombian fleet is ordered to the coast of Mexico to assist in an at- tack on the castle " of St. John d'lJlloa.

We regret exceedingly to announce the failure of one of our most respectable houses in the American trade; indeed, one which is highly esteemed, both from the respectable, safety, and honourable manner in which its business has always been conducted.

DESTRUCTION OF CASTLE FORBES. LONGFORD, Oct. 20. — Thursday morning, between two and three o'clock, the wind blowing very strong at N. W., the fun- nel of the kitchen chimney, which is now supposed must have been for several days on fire unobserved, burst at I'J very top story ofthe house into the room in which Lord Foibes was fast asleep. The flames forced in wiih such violence and rapidity that he must have been inevitably burnt in his bed. had not the sagacity ofa favourite spaniel dog, of the poodle kind, that lay in the next room to his Lordship, and of which the door was fortunately open, jumped upon him, and by exertions the most extraordinary awoke him I The story is miraculous, but true ! Lord Forbes had the presence of mind to fire a shot, in- order to arouse and alarm the servants, then to remove 25lbs. of gun- powder, and afterwards secure a large chest of family papers Sec. Much of the smaller furniture has been saved, but the larger, with a great many valuable books, pictures, and paint- ings, of which there was a rare and magnificent collection, are, I fear, destroyed. I was there yesterday morning. Lord Forbes was cool and manly. I was, I confess, so much af- fected that I could hardly speak to him. He seemed sensible of it, and shook me most cordially bv the hand. Of that noble, venerable, and respectable old building, or rather pile, which gallantly, held out the against the Irish in the Rebellion of 1641, nothing remains but the walls. It was of great magnitude— the fury of the fire irresistible. It was little more then twelve o'clock, when I saw it, yet had it not been for the various oc- cupations of the multitude around, it would have appeared to have been uninhabited for half a century I The loss must have been immense, and in some respecls irreparable ! We are all here exceedingly distressed, and so indeed is every individual in the country. KABAL JTUGISTCR. latter end of June, and only the. master'( who was art shore) saved.

About nine o'clock she fell over on her beam ends, when the poor fellows appeared to lash themselves to the shrouds, but they shortly afterwards met a watery grave. A long- boat has been washed on shore at Corton, which is sup- posed to belong to the above brig; the name " John. Leaig" appears on her quarter, but has been painted over.

Tows COUNCIL.— Wednesday, the Council was principally occupied witli routine business of little |> uli! ic interest. The resignation of Mt. Morton, as third old Baillie and Admiral of Leith, was intimated. Mr. Morton, it appears, bad not taken his seat at the Coun- cil Board since the last election, and we understand Ins reasons for resigning to be, that as the Lord Provost and Council had, contrary to all precedent, placed Mr. Forbes aud himself at the foot ofthe list of Old Bailies, in place of the top ; and as his seat at the Council table had been usurped bv another, he declined to act till Ins seat as first Old Bailie was vacated. This not having been done, he sent in his resignation. \\ e have not heard who is likely to till Mi'. Morton's seat.

V08.~ We understand that herrings have made their apjiearaucc in the Frith. Oil Tuesday night, a boat belonging to Qiteeusferry caught above 300 off that place iu a very short time. Late on Friday night, or early on Saturday morn- ing, a woman at Earl's Dykes, in the vicinity of Perth, gave birth to an illegitimate child. On Saturday fore- noon, some of her female friends conveyed it to the residence of a member of a learned profession in Perth, leaving it to his charge, and alleging he was the father. Knowing that he had no proper person to attend to its infant wants, the females hovered about the premises till towards evening, when they intimidated a wish to recover the child. Legal application was resorted to, and the individual implicated being brought before the Sheriff, declined giving any satisfactory account ofthe child. He was therefore committed to jail, and his house was repeatedly searched in course of Saturday nii'ht and Sunday. On Monday the lock of a scrutoire v. as forced open, in which the child was found lying on its face, quite dead, and apparently much crushed by the compression of the sloping top. Whether the child ha I died previous to its concealment, or had been suffo- cated by the pressure and confinement, remains matter of conjecture.— Perth Courier. IRELAND. APPROACHING NUPUALS ofthe MAB. WELLESLEY. Mrs Patters7- 1. the lady iu question, is, we under- stand, of Irish descent. Her grandfather, Mr Carroll, who is yet alive, resides in the city of Washington. This gentleman, if we are not misinformed, filled at a remote petiod, a high judicial office ill Canada. Mrs Patterson's maiden name was Caton. She had been originally married to the brother of Mrs Jerome Bona- parte— with whose history, all our readers, we presume, are acquainted, She is niece to the Catholic Bishop of Maryland, and i; herself a Roman Catholic. It may not be immaterial to add, that the fortune of this ladv is very considerable, that her landed property in America is great, and that her claims 011 the British and American Governments are still greater. On Saturday his Excel- lency the Lord Lieutenant removed from Malahide Castle to his permanent residence at the Vice- Regal Lodge, Phcenix Park. The day for tire celebration of his Excellency's approaching nuptials is not yet appoint- ed, as it will depend upon the arrival of his brothers, the Duke of Wellington and Lord Maryborough, who are txpected about Wednesday : but, at all events, it is un- derstood that the ceremony will not be deferred beyond Saturday next. It will he performed by the Protestant Archbishop, and aflerwa rds by the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin.

THE Letter of Mr. EMERSON to the Chairman of the Greek Committee gives, we are persuaded, a very faithful account of the state of affairs in Greece, but the view he presents is gloomy, and not well calculated to raise the hopes of those who w ish to see the Greeks in- dependent, and again maintaining a distinguished place among the nations of the earth. The loss of Lord BYRON appears in the mean time to be irreparable, lie kept the Capitani in check, and prevented the misappli- cation of money destined for the public service ; but from Mr. EMERSON'S account, there is now an immediate scramble among them upon the arrival of a remittance, and whoever is fortunate enough to obtain possession keeps it, while the public service is neglected, and the soldiers remain unpaid. Of the bravery of the Greeks no person entertains a doubt, manv of their commanders have emulated the heroic deeds of their forefathers ; but true patriotism demands the exercise of other virtues, as well as personal courage, and situated as the Greeks are, rapacious avarice is a vice which threatens destruction to the common cause. ODYSSEUS was brave, but he had vices that more than counterbalanced the possession of great personal courage, and his death was probably a greater loss to tiie Turks than to his countrymen. If, by the aid of a foreign commander, independence should be obtained for Greece, it Is a mortifying consideration, that the quarrels of the chiefs, and their love of money, might very probably again endanger their liberty, for the enemy cannot he supposed ignorant of their character. A re- port prevails, that there is a negociation going on for the purchase of an island in the Archipelago by the United States, and the presence of an American squadron in the Mediterranean, which the Brandywine frigate has just sailed to reinforce, gives some apparent probability to the statement. Should the report prove well founded, the United States must be considered as having declared in favour ofthe Greeks „ but many are of opinion, that no such decided measures will lie taken, the Americans confining themselves to friendly offices, that cannot be called direct infringements of neutrality. The island ol Milo. the ancient Milos, is said to be the point upon which the United States have fixed for an establishment in the Mediterranean. It is situated about sixty miles to the northward of Candia ; the harbour is one ofthe finest and largest in the Mediterranean, the entrance narrow, hut expanding within to a noble bay, capable of containing the whole British navy. We again repeat, however, that many doubt the reality of the negociation ; and also, whether the European Powers would agree, that the Americans should thus establish themselves in the Archipelago. The details of the operations of our Indian army' under the command of Sir ARCII. CAMPBELL against Donabew, and the occupation ofProme, have now been published by authority. At the attack of Donabew our troops met with great resistance, and suffered consider- able loss. In one of the enemy's sorties, an attempt was made to intimidate and disorder the Europeans by the employment of elephants, each carrying a comple- ment of armed men ; but against this attempt, horse artillery and a rocket troop were most successfully em- ployed, and the commanding officer particularly distin- guishes Capt. GRAHAM, and Capt. LU. MSDEN of this place, as most meritorious upon the occasion. It is said tliat the chief BUNDOOLAII was killed by a rocket w hile going his rounds, when the other chiefs, struck with terror, would make no farther stand, and Prouie was soon after occupied without resistance, a great numlier of camion, ammunition, and provisions falling into the hands of the captors. From former experience of the character of the native governments and armies, it is believed, that terms of peace would be proposed by the Burmese, immediately after the occupation ofProme. Upon the whole, very little intelligence has been re- ceived from abroad, of sufficient interest to deserve a passsing remark. The Brazib appear to be still iu an unsettled state— and although Don PEDRO pretended at first to favour the simplicity of Republican Government tinder Imperial forms, as more suited to the prejudices of the people, it is not doubted that his intentions have ever been against their liberties. He has expressed great indignation tit the conduct ofLord CoCUBANE, who has left him finally, after having ascertained his duplicity. The priests'are'liis steadiest adherents," but the immediate neighbourhood of free states must tend, although gra- dually, to weaken their influence. In Jamaica all is quiet, and the public journals taken up with extracts from English periodicals, and libels against the friends of negro emancipation. In the United States every thing is going on prosperously, although apprehensions are entertained, that lite late failures in England may seriously alfeet the dealers in cotton. ' Ihe States are increasing their marine every year, and six corvettes from six 10 seven hundred tons aie ordered, to carry twenty- four pounder carronades and two long twenty- fours each : a class of vessels admirably fitted for Medi- terranean service. During the animosity that unfortunately continues to orevail between the manufacturers and operatives of Glas- gow, Mr. HUME, as our readers are already informed, declined to v sit that city upon the present occasion. He received deputations from the associated tradesmen of Glasgow, and the three western coal counties, at Edinburgh ; and to their address returned answers which ought to convince them, that to proceed in every instance peateably and legally is their true interest. I / idcr the present circumstances, he has declined to ac- cept their presents, but pledges himself to advocate their cause in Parliament, so long as they respect the laws of their country and respect the rights of others. The associated trades of Glasgow have acknowledged thi re- ceipt of Mr. HUME'S answer to their address, for which they return their thanks; and while tlicv regret that lie dedinw accifiting their present, ( a valuaUi piece of jihtte) thi s declare their r « solution lo adhere lo the advice he has given. On this occasion, all parties are agreed, that Mr. HUME'S conduct has been at once o ' prudent and delicate, aud as such it is duly approbated by his countfVmen. With regard to the price of labour, every thing is on aright footing, when the operative works or not as he conceives the remuneration fair or otherwise, and meddles not with others who exercise the same liberty, the same discretion. And although the operatives have in some instances been led into excesses by false representations, they must soon see, that the repeal of the combination laws merely opened up a free market for their labour— but without conferring upon them anv right to coerce their employers, or their fclltnv labourers. " Reproach" ( says the Scotsman) " is now re- moved from the fciw, and the clamour which has been ra. s- ed against Mr. HUME, Y> n account of his exertions in procuring the repeal of the combination laws, is the most insensate that ever was heard in any enlightened society. It is discreditable to the feelings— disgraceful to the intelligence of the country ; and it delights us to think, that Edinburgh has chosen this period to shew, that her citizens are truly emancipated from the vulgar prejudices of their countrymen." This observation alludes to the public dinner to be given to Mr. HUME, at Edinburgh, on the 18th inst. at which we are assur- ed. that many of the: most distinguished inhabitants, without regard to party, have declared tiieir resolution to attend. In the meantime, Mr HUME is waiting upon his con- stituents. in Arbroath, Montrose, and Brechin, and proposes to be in this place on Wednesday or Thursday next, and to remain, as we understand, about a week. He was much mortified last year, because, unavoidably, lie tviis prevented from waiting upon the Students of Marischal College according to Ins promise, and there- fore takes the earliest- opportunity of redeeming his pledge. - • His election for the Btjrghs is certain. Constitution of the University of Edinburgh.— Accor- ding to the Coiisti'ttitions of Uilivcrsilics in Europe, a Rector, to be elected by the subdiii, was the office- bear- er of highest authority ; and it was therefore held to be a strange anomaly, that no such office- bearer existed for many years past in the University of Edinburgh. But it turns out that, although the Rector of Edinburgh University was not in etse, he vvas'in posse; for, upon some misunderstanding between the Town Council and the Senatus Academicus, the Council resolved to visit the College in form, and, as a necessary preliminary, elected the Provost Lord RecMr of the University. " It tnay be inferred from this, that matters have assumed a complexion somewhat serious ; the Senatus met on Saturday and were in consultation for some hours, but the result of their deliberations is not yet known."— Scotsman, Nov. 2. The Visitation of an University by a Town Council is certainly something new, and we ex- pect much interesting information upon the subject, that we may be enabled to comprehend how the things is pos- sible. If we are rightly informed, the Town Councils of Scotland are, or should be, composed of men engag- ed in trade, to the exclusion of even men of law or judg- ment: and how commercial men are to beecyne compe- petent examiners of Schools of Philosophy, unless in so far as regards regulations respecting discipline, we do not clearlv see. But something is stirring in all our Universities, and we hope we may say with VOLTAIRE, " T he rising generation will see fine things." MARRIAGE.

Mr, RYDER lias continued to exert himself for the amusement of the public; he has brought ( Vward novelties supported by really respectable performers, and, we are sorry to say, without that encouragement which his exertions de- served. Of the performers who have appeared for the first time this season on our boards, there are many who deserve to tie mentioned in terms of approbation. Mr. ORM » ND. if 1101 ' great in any character, is very respectable in all, and sometimes rises much beyond mediocrity. Mr. CLIFTON is a young man, but evidently possesses talents adapted to the mimic scene. His voice is not full, hut it may improve ; and in Fribbles he appears to great advantage. Mr. MASON we consider a young perforinerof great promise, f lis voice is good, and also his general conception of characters ; his comilenanCr* expres- sive, and by practice will become much more so. He sings w- ell, and is upon the wltoie a very useful performer. Of Mr. GANN we have yet seen very little— hut his performance of DAMON, 011 Monday evening, proved him a spirited actor, whose energy was under the control of sound judgment. In this piece, Mrs. ANGEL and Mrs. MITCHELL appeared to much advantage. With regard to the spectacle of DER FKKISCHUTZ, it has not succeeded so well as Waterloo. Mr. RYDER has neither an orchestra nor vocalists to make this spectacle in- teresting, and devils, snakes, and flying dragons, have no great attraction in themselves. lii this spectacle, so entirely depend- ing upon music, ' neither . Mrs. ANGEL nor Mr. OKMOND sung, and the effect was consequently lost. ANNUAL VISITATION OF SCHOOLS.

On the same day, they examined Ihe Parochial School in Drum's Lane, taught by Mr FALCONER, where the pupils gave highly satisfactory proofs of their proficiency iu Reading, Spelling. Recitation, and English Grammar. The visitors were aisci certified of the scholars being instructed in the prin- ciples of Christianity, and were much pleased with the Speci- mens of Writing. On Thursday they examined the School in Long- Acre, taught by Messrs; GRANT, where numerous pupils exhibited great proficiency iu Reading. Spelling, English Grammar, and Writing; aud gave proofs of their acquaintance with the Cbiis'ian Religion. On Monday last., the School in Gordon Street, under the care of Mr ROBERT A IIAM. was visited hv several Clergymen of this city. The Scholars gave very satisfactory Specimens of their progress in Reading, Writing, Spelling, Arithmetic, & c. and the visitors were particularly pleased with the attention paid to the religions instruction of the Pupils in this school, which promises to become very useful in that neighbourhood. The School taught by Mr THOMAS ADAMS, i 11 H1r. che.

The Treasurer of the United Coal Fund has received Two Guineas for that institution, from a Friend to Humanity, by the hands of Miss Kinloch, being a repetition of former dona- tions by the same person. We understand that the Commissioners of Police have re- solved, in terms of the Act of Parliament, strictly to prohibit the dusting of carpets from or over any window or stair, open- ing to the public streets or lanes ; a measure solely calculated to promote the comfort of the inhabitants. Yesterday afternoon, between one and two o'clock, a house in Prince's Street caught fire in the attic storey, but it being timeously observed, ^ V- soon got under, by the prompt as- sistance of the neighbouthood, aided by the Norwich fire en- gine. A good deal of the interior is considerably damaged, and several of the tenants were obliged 10 remove their furni- ture. The Oid Town Market, held on Wednesday last, fell short of expectation, the shew of Black Cattle being less than usual, and the sale dull with some teduction in the prices, except for Cows at calving, which met a teady sale at L9 to LlO sterl- ing. Horses were, in general, of an inferior description, and not much in demand. AKTHIIK N'ICOLSON.

" The Robert and J inet sailed frii n Stornaway, on the- 7tW' n't. w ith a cargo of stales hutind for Leith. On the follow^ itig Wednesday she put into Lc. nghope, in Orkney, ami tAolt on board there a. young Laii;, Miss i'liom .11, and two girl*' and a boy under her protection. The vis- el left I. onghope with a light and fair wind, which continued till she was off Buchan- ness. On the day after leaving Longhope, il came to blow a strong gale from the north— so much s i. that they could, not carry any sails, but had to keep tile vessel straight before the wind— and they w ere at last obliged 1 ™ heave her. to r. tftlie Redhead. At , l, iy- break they endeavoured to get into the Forth, but as it continued to blow very hard, they were rot able to ef- fect it, and had to bear away round St Abb's Head. TI10 vessel, being much strained, made considerable water. . She also carried away In r main boom, and they were obliged t. o cut away great part of the mainsail with it. After reaching St Abb's Head, they attempted to run into Berwick, but the sea was rising mountains hiiih on the bar, atul threatened destruction if ihey persevered Under these circumstances, they bore away for Holy Is'and, but alter arriving at the bar, thev could n.' t gel the vessel to lye ill, owing ft, lira shltleied stale of her sail-, and the exhaustion of her crew.

I).. iwld M'Dotuld, one of the crew, w as washed bff the deck by the sea dashing over the vessel in a tremendous manner— the others got iut" ihe rigging. Miss Thomson and her voting friends, not being able to follow them, were, one by one, washed off the deck. 1' he mas'er, ail active young man, stripped off his clothes aud attempted 10 swim on shore. He hud nearly effected his fkut- pose, and was seen breast high in Ihe water, when he wat dragged out by the recoil id' the waves, and perished. Tbe mate, an old man, fell from the rigging, but was thrown into the Vessel by a returning wave, and caught hold ofthe pump, to which lie clung. Mr Joy, mate uf the Mermaid cutler, observing their perilous situation, with four uf his men, accom- panied by Mr Wilson, a pilot at Iloly Island, in the most in- trepid manner pushed off to their assistance in- a pilot boar, and about two r. M., got lo the ship, when they rescued tho mate, a boy named Murdoch Mackenzie, aud William M Rae, an old man, who died shortly after landing. The sloop soon went into a tlrousand pieces. Some boles and papers Moated 011 shore belonging to Mr Robertson. Stornownv Mils Thomson's body was found near Bamburgh Castle, and inter- red at Milford.
