AS a mild and effectual remedy for all tiiose disorders - which originate in a vitiated action of the Liver and Biliary organs, namely, INDIGESTION, loss OF APPETITE, HEAD ACHE, HEARTBURN, FLATULENCIES, SPASMS, COSTIVENESS, AFFECTIONS OF THE LIVER, & c. See. DIXON'S ANTIBILIOUS j'lI. LS ( which do not contain Mercury in any shape) have met with more general approval than any other Medicine whatsoever. They unite every recommendation of mild operation with successful effect; and require no restraint or confinement whatever during their use. In tropical climates, where the consequences of redundant a^ d bile are so prevalent and alarming, they are an invaluable and efficient pro- tection. They are likewise peculiarly calculated to correct disorders arising from excesses of the table, to restore the totie pf the stomach, and to remove most complaints occasioned by irregularity of the bowels.

Go— for I feel thy looks are changed, And it would grieve my " heart To find thy tenderness estranged, And that we coldly part; Ah! leave me then at once, and fly. Ere doubt is turned to certainty; Few, very few, have been the hours My soul has known of peace ; tTnwelcoi.' ie is the cloud that lowers And bids that'sunshine cease— But Hope's bright colours soon decay, And pass, like Iris- hues, away ! Go— not a word, a look. of mine Shall make thee linger: yet I would not, in thy faith's decline, Thy early truth forget; I would not learn from thee the tale That words are air, and vows are frail.

Aberdeen, May 86, 1S « 6, " After a long attention to the cure of diseases,. it is mortifying to redett how m[ ieh this ardnons province is iniested by a race of ignorant and shameless empirics, who are daily tampering with rlie public credulity, to the destruction of tifmibers of lives. It may safely be affirmed,- that a very considerable part of the annual death, in the capital and its vicinity, eiecWsive of those in o'lier parts, ere • occasioned by tlie profligate temerity of these unprincipled impostors. There is hardly a newspaper that does not teem with the audacious fiflsi- hoods, and pompous pretensions, of this imposing class of mercenary, and yet ( 1 use not too binSi an expression) tolerated murderers. What man who is conversant with physic can perns,, without indignation the ptilift advertisements of these quacks, i/ x which every one arrogates to himself, the possession of superlative knowledge, and ascribes to his respective nostrum such coiitradii - torv and inconsistent qualities as were never yet united in any one medicine in the world. " ' To ' he ilisgrare, however, of the piblie credulity, not a few of these impostors attaiu to a d- gree of opulence that i- seldom . acquired e, at in tlte- Tieieirtific find legitimate prcseeution oTniedie. d practice.

CORN LAWS. Oil the. order of th* day being read for the second reading ofthe Hooded Corn Hill, The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, lie did not think it necessary at present to travel at any length into the questiui, because it had already been - o fully discussed. He had stated formerly, and he w- ouid now repeat, that these measures were but temporary, and were by CO means intended to form any permanent principle. He was Well convinced that in no way the bill militated against, the agriadtiwal interest. If the agriculturist would exclude all foreie- n fora, and thus give a complete monopoly, then they might object to this bill; bnt he would not believe that the agriculturist would be so unwise its to expect such a monopoly. lie alluded to the evil consequences which arose in July, 1K1G, from the want of such a measure as that now [ imposed to be introduced. In the year 1811 there was an mmsilal'iy b id harvest, and the ports were not opened, because- the price was a lew shillings below 80s. In the month of November following, when the price of wheat was ehove 80s. the Baltic was shut, and wheat consequently ruse to the high price of 100s. per quarter. He adverted to the last clause ia ' he bi'l which had been discussed yesterday, and stated that its object certainly was to prevent too great a quantity of corn being brought to market. However much the first bill might be disap- proved of, he thought no reasonable objections could be raised against the second inyasure. Ministers h id no desire whatever to h ive the power, or to exercise it, but for the benefit of the public a^ the exercise of it thev were peculiarly desirous should lie ren- dered lawful. Ministers were first doubtful as to the policy of the bill, because they might lie considered as tampering with the ge nt- rnl question of tbe Corn Laws.—( Hear, hear, from Lord Luu- denude.) The public gooil however, was piirimoiflt, and Mini' tern were determined tbe*: should lie no repetition of the evils so severely felt by the country in 181( 5.

With reitard to the bill releasing the bonded com, and throwing- it into the market for cim- uuiptiion, tiiiat met with his most cordial ap- probation. Aa to the other bill, which gave the power to Govern- ment to import corn in caies of emergencies, he thought it objec- tionable in principle, as well as injurious in its effects. If the power did not go beyond admitting above 500,000 quarters of corn, in the event of a scarcity, it iu fact did nothing, The Noble I^ ord, after expatiating at Mime length upon the necessity which existed of a fall revision of UiegenwJ system of the corn laws, con- cluded by again expressing bis assent to tbe bill for releasing the bunded corn, and his disap| ir°' KUioa of the importation of corn bill. The House then went into a Committee on tlie bonded corn bill, when the clauses were discussed seriatim,; after which the bill was reprieve!, with amendments, which were ordered to be taken into consideration to- morrow.

GREEKS AND TURKS. ) Lord DARNLEY, after a few preliminary observation^ to show tiattlu; French Government liad not actj.- d with that sUiot neutra- lity ' With respect to the Greeks and Turks which they had been re- presented to have done, moved for copies of all communications re- ceived from the Consul at Marseilles, of sueli facts as had cuine- to his knowledge touching any supply of ships that had been furnished bv the French Government to the Pacha of Egypt. ' The Earl of LIVERPOOL hod never, since he had a seat in the House, heard such a motion as that now proposed. Its effect was to take the King's prerogative into his own hands, upon the con- duct too of a foreign nation towards another. He had no difficulty in stating, that, as far as his accounts went, the French Govern- ment had preserved a strict neutrality tjwardit the Greeks. With respect to this country, the object was first to preserve peace, possible ; and secondly, to preserve a strict neutrality in the event of war. Me therefore entreated the Noble Lord to withdraw his motion.—( Crir. of withdraw.') Earl DAft. VLEY said a few words in reply, but declined to withdraw the motion. The question Wat put, and the motion nnftitived. CORN BH. LS. On tbe motion of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, the. Bonded Corn Bill was rood a third tiirte. On the motion fur the third reading ofthe bill for importing corn, a short discussion took place, iu which the f'. ir1. of Liverpool said tliat CI.( l. inii but absoliire necessity would induce his Majesty's Minis- ters to avail thern- clvc* ofthe power given to the- ia by the bill for- importing com. The bill was read a third time. THE CURRENCY. The E'irl of CARNARVON called the attention ofthe House to the mibj- s* of the currency, nod lii. ele some remarks upon the pr< u-' edinus of the Committee, urging tlie necessity nf adopting such measures as would place the currency of the coh- n'ry upon a proper footing. The F. arl of LIVERPOOL said, thjt in reference to Scotland and Ireland, the principle w hich had been Mop'ed in England, with regard to small iml.-, did not app'\. It had been found tlist the principle coiUit not be applied to Scotland a't piarsent ; many- ditficult'u- s were in the wty to prevent it.

RUSSELL moved his resolutions relative to bribery and lorrujit. practices art elections. They embodied what ho bad propos- ed to introduce into his bill; and having so recently addressed the House, it would be unnecessary for him to address them at any length. Briliery and corruption were notorious. The Noble Lord moved, that when it should appear to tile House that bribery had been practised at any election within the space of eighteen months, Committee should be appointed to inquire into the same. After some conversation tiie House divided, when the numbers ere, Ayes ( W, Noes 62. The Smsakbh gave his casting vote in favour of the Resolution. The second Resolution, to the effect that the truth of the matters contained In the said petition should lie referred to a Select Com- mittee of thirteen Meniliers, to lie chosen by lot, and of two Mein- to be chosen by the House, and that they shall report their opinion, together with the evidence, to the House, was then put aud carried without a division. , SCOTS BANKS. Mr. PEFL brought n ithe Report of the Select Committee on e Banking System of Scotland, which gave rise to a long and animated discussion. The remarks matle by Mr. Tierney on the conduct of Ministers in regard to the question of Scottish currency, was most conclusively answered by Mr. Peel, who declared that however much it might be desirable in principle to assimilate the urreney iu England and Scotland, he considered that it would have been impossible to do so without the most disastrous consequences, when it. was ascertained that two- thirds ol' the whole circulation of Scotland was in small notes. It became absolutely necessary, there- ire. to ascertain, by experiment, whether tbe metallic currency of ui. gland could not co- exist with the paper currency of Scotland If it- should be found that the two systems were absolutely iucom- p. Uible, then lie would u'fiuli- Ui the latter. Mr: HUSKISSON then moved—" That the Report be brought up und printed," which passed in the affirmative. After which, Sir. M. W. RIDLEY moved the following Resolution :— " That this House thinks it advisable to pledge itself to institute an inquiry in the next session, hoyv far the interests of England and Scotland are affected by different systems of currency, and to ascer- tain, if any, and what weans may be taken to assimilate the c « ur- encies of the two countries." The motion having been put to the vote by the Speaker, was negatived w ltliout a division. Adjourned till Wednesday next. GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Wednesday, May 24. The Assembly met this day at eleven o'clock, but it being under- stood that the question on the union of offices was to come on, the west gallery, appropriated to strangers, was filled soon after nine o'clock, and by the time of meeting the house was crowded in every part. There were a number of ladies on each side of the throne, and in the gallery. The clerk then read over a list of overtures on the subject of the union of offices, from the Synods of Fife, Glasgow and Ayr, Suther- land aud Caithness, Iloss, Perth and Stirling, and from the Pres- byteries, of Annan, Kircudbright, Irvine, Paisley, Dunblane, For- dyc1, Perth, Tain, Dornoch, Tongue, and Forfar. Mr. MARSHALL of Glasgow said, he did not intend to have ad- dressed the Assembly so early, but he had lieen requested, by those whose views he supported, thus early to intrude himself on the at- tention of the House ; and he trusted they would bear with him in this his first speech on the subject before thern. In his Presbytery, it had beeii objected to the frequent introduction of these overtures, on the ground that the subject was one of minor importance,, and that the attention of till General Assembly might be more profitably di- rected to questions of gre^ r interest and advantage to the Church. He was glad to know that this view of the subject was not correct, for, while members differed widely on the general . question, some considered that the union of offices was detrimental to religion, others maintained a contrary doctrine, and held that it was both lor the interest of religion and literature that the union should sub- sist ; and he was happy that tlie Assembly had now affixed their seal, and given it as. their opinion that the question was one ofthe highest importance. He should now proceed to state his reasons way he considered that the holding of pluralities was detrimental to the interests of religion and education. Considering the importance and the arduous nature of the duties of the ministerial office, and that of a professor, or teacher of youth, it was quite impossible that one person could faithfully discharge the duties of both. We live in a world where every individual pursues his . secular office with a singleness of aim ; the physician devotes himself to the practice of physic ; the lawyer gives his whole time to the study of the law ; and the merchant to that of mercantile pursuits. Were any of these asked to take on himself the burden of another profession, he would answer that he was unfit to perform the duties of any other than that in which he was engaged ; and surely if, any office was of more importance than another;* it was that of a minister ; it was an office that should rather be placed higher on the scale than be degraded ; and if it were couplet! with any other, it must therefore be rendered less effective iu its execution. It was a profession the most solemn and sacred in which any human being could be engaged; it was one of transcendant and" paramount importance, compared with which all secular emplonnents d windled into insignificance. Though the physician devote his attention to his profession, the lawyer to his, and the merchant to his, yet their objects were of a temporary character ; that of a minister was, or ought to be, devoted to labour for the souk of his fellow- men, to sooth and support them in the dying hour, to confer benefits which expired not with lifb, but ex- isted through the end- less ages of eternity. There w. i? attached to the sacred office a high a rati awful responsibility ; for if they proved unfaithful to one single soul, the blood would be required at their hands. What are the " duties of a minister? He has to preach ; and this led him to advert to the state, of the vote on this question last Assembly, when it was carried, not by ministers, but by elders. Hear.) There was a majority of ministers who voted on the side of the question which he should support— the vote on the other side was carried by lay- members. He mentioned this from the sup- position that these gentlemen might be influenced by the idea that a clergyman's discourse required little preparation ; and many may be found who, to go to church and hear a sermon, who consider that it is as easy to prepare and preach that sermor,. as ijt is to listen to it. But every one who knew any thing of tiie matter, was aware that the preparation of their sermons occupied no incon- siderable portion of the week. Besides the preparation of ser mons, they had to visit the sick— to administer consolation where family bereavements took place— they had to keep, pace, with the li- terature of the age— they had also the common labour of all , men they had to work out the salvation of their own souls. Ministers in large towns were in some respects unavoidably pluralists. In coun- try parishes they had only to cultivate an acquaintance within their their bounds. In towns,, they had to visit the sick, not only of their own congregation, but of others. He had no hesitation in stating, that the duty of a minister in populous towns was fully occupied every day in the week by his parochial duties ; and. let him. labour as much and as anxiously as he may, lie will still have to regret that much has been left undon?. For himself he would say, that though he was entirely freed from his pulpit duties, aud were to confine himself exclusively to the visitation of the sick ftfOii\ Mon- day to Saturday, he was satisfied that many a poor distressed crea- ture in the lanes and alleys of his parish, Who. caH. e< l for his atten- tion and sympathy would be neglected. Was it upon men thus over- loaded with duties" that you would add the charge of teaching in our . Universities ? And who w;* s the man that would undertake the task, when he looked for\ vard: to the day on which hb should give an account of his stewardship? ( Hear.) He would now say tew words on the duties of a professor. When he called to mind who were the persons who attended the proliotions of our professors — Were they not individuals just about to enter into lite ? Some of them the nobles of the land-— some of them to plead at our bar others to minister in our pviipits—- and other? to occupy high mer- cantile stations in the country." It was at a time when the moral habits of young minds are formed, when the bosom is most easily- biassed, and wherr the character receives that stamp, which it must bear throughout after- life. He could not calculate the extent ofthe good that,, a professor who devoted himself entirely to the duties of his chair might accomplish.. For the truth of th it remark, he had only to appeal to the conduct of a venerable individual at the table ( Professor Jardine).. It was not long since upwards of 200 of his pupils assembled around him, some of them nobles, and many of them eminent individuals, and again and again did they declare that it was i> om the instructions at the logic ekt* s that their habits had been formed. Laurels had . been, wreathed around the brow of the venerable Professor more glorious than those of any' conqueror - laurels whiefi would make his name l> e remembered and* respected when he skill have gone the way of all living,— Did he gain all this honour by little labour, or in a short time? No. . He did not merely content himself with delivering lectures ; he prescribed ex- ercises to his pupils,— these he examined carefully, reporting on each accoring to its merits ; and thus he found that his whole time was completely occupied with his professional duties. It was not for him to. anticipate objections to his own views, but before he con- cluded he would advert to one thing. It has been said that many of the chairs in our universities were not properly, endowed, and that they should wait till they were so, aud make no legislative enact- ment. He had heard that objection most satisfactorily answered and repelled by a reverend Doctor at the table, who said, and well said, " If the thing is right let us. go forward with it." He was sure that it only required' that a representation should be made to his Majesty's Government t hat the interests of religion and literature r. quired aid, and they would at once stretch out their hands to sup- port it. No ministry ever hold the reins of Government who were more disposed to serve the people and attend Co public opinion. In proof of which he needed only refer to their giving up their, awn . favourite measure as to the alteration of the currency, because it was opp- ed to, the v* ukv of the people. W. an. ii< s. uch. men as these | who would « hut tVir t< i & requ- Ai of rl. U ^ ntniv ? We haw la king' distinguished by every princely virtue, whu*; beneficence had . within these lew days stuttered gladness among Thousands of his distressed people,, and had made merry the hearts of those who were ready to faint. Was it such a king as this who . would turn a deaf ear to their application ? No— he would spurn the very idea.— Then, in the words of the venerable Doctor, u if the thing is right let us do it." Alter some other remarks, the Rev. Gentleman con- chi'led by muring, u That the General Aasemhy, having considered the overtures relative to the union of the office of a parocliial minister with that of principal or professor in any of the universities of Scotland, and be- ing deeply convinced that such unions are injurious to the interests of religion,- education, and learning, and contrary to the spirit of our ecclesiastical constitution, resolve, That a committee be appoint- ed to prepare an overture, to be transmitted to the Presbyteries of this church, for preventing such unions of these offices in future, in all cases not already provided for by the act of Assembly 1817, and to report to this AssembW : Aud farther in respect that some of the theological professorships are not at present sufficiently pro- vided for, the General Assembly resolve to appoint a committee to take all such cases into consideration, with instructions' to make all necessary inquiries* and to adopt all measures that may be deem- ed expedient, with the viow of obtaining some means or security for the adequate endowment of these offices, aud to report to next Assembly." Principal Nicoti, proposed that the following motion be adopt- ed :-—" That the General Assembly, having maturely deliberated , on the subject of these overtures, judge it inexpedient to transmit any overture upon the subject to the several presbyteries of this church." Dr. COOK said, I assume it is a fact, about which no man ac- quainted with the history of the church can have any doubt, that our,. Scottish reformers did not contemplate, under their ecclesiastical polity, the union of benefices with offices in universities. This is apparent from their sentiments as to ministerial duty— from the dis- tinction made by them between pastors and doctors— from their scheme of education— from various incidents recorded in our history, and from ill their anxiety to procure from abroad divines to fill theo- logical chairs. Vet they acted with respect to this in a di& rent man, uer from which they did as toother unions. They passed laws against the union of benefices, with cure of souls, against non- resi- dence, and against the junction of offices properly secular, with paro- chial charge, but they passed no law against the union of benefices with situations in universities. I perfectly agree \ vith those who think? that tywje$; propel*^ manag^ i^ eut, itjs desirable that the- union ofo$ c*! S and benefes should abolished. But whether assuming that U would be fight to abolish pluralities, we are so situated that, without any previous inquiry or arrangement, We may at once do so, I have no hesitation in saying that we are not. The early reformers were most desirous that every situation in the Universities and the Church should be adequately endowed. Has this been done, especially with respect to theological professorships ? It is admitted that it has not. Can it then be reasonably expected that able men will seek after them-— or, if they should do so, from their high regard to the cause of religion, ought we to permit them to be involved in pecuniary embarrassments which would destroy their happiness, and ucfi£ them for the arduonsness of intellectual exer- tion ? I am for appointing a committee of inquiry. WE shall thus know on what ground we stand, and si) legislate as to prevent the danger , of evil. The Doctor concluded with the following mo- tion : " The General Assembly having considered the overtures On the table, find that it is no. t expedient, under existing circumstances, to transmit to. Presbyteries an overture for abolishing the union of of- fices in Universities with parochial charges, where the law of resi- dence is not violated; but appoint a committee to inquire and as- certain whether adequate endowments for theological professorships could be obtained, and what effect the universal abolition of plura- lities woujd produce on the connection between the Church and the Universities of Scotland." After a long discussion, in which the same arguments were used as in the Assembly last year, the roll was. called, when there ap- peared— For Br.

LEE, as Convener of the committee on the manuscripts of the Church, made a communication, stating generally", that, during ast year, the committee had not been able to recover any MSS. great value., Some, however, of rather a curious nature, they had recovered— one of wliich tended to throw considerable light pou the opinions of the fathers, in reference to the Subject which td been under discussion on Wednesday. It related, to the trans- ition of Dr. Dickson from Glasgow to aprii& ssorial chair iu Edin- burgh, to which it was v. %' erstood that a parochial charge was at- ncbed. V Dr. M'GILL objected to any- part of these* pfpers Wng read. Dr." Lt- Js Sitid he.( fid not mean to read aily- part'- of them. He ished only, to mention the fact genecally ; it- was,- lumv've. r, of some importance that the opinions of the fathers should be known and • preserved. One of the MSS. which had come into his hands was course of lectures on.- divinity by the famous Samuel Rutherford. Sir John Sinclair ipade along speech which was very indistinctly. leard. It related to his Statistical Accuunt of Scotland, and lie concluded bv presenting the Moderator with the second-. part of the analysis of that voluminous work. The Assembly returned theii*- thanks to Sir John Sinclair. The Assembly then proceeded to hear the overture relative to unnecessary oaths. Dr. Duncan of Ruthwell supported the over- ture, contending that there were several oaths, not only useless,, but absurd, and he considered that it would lie of great advantage to get rid of them. There were a great number of oaths in use lor arions purposes, but there was one which was not only useless but idiculous. He meant the abjuration oath, which was an oath ab- juring a family, not one of whom are known now to exist. But it still must be taken by every man appointed to an office under go- ernment, and by every minister of the Church of Scotland, ile held that unnecessary oaths were, a great evil. Tin? abjuration oath was, in fact, a mockery of the Deity, because it was an oath with- out an object. It was an act of impiety towards tin; Divine Being to call Him to witness what did not exist. The rev. Doctor read the oath,, and concluded by moving that a committee be appointed to consider the oaths administered to preachers and others, and per- sons admitted to offices under government. The PROCURATOR highly approved of the proposition, and se condeiL the motion. A committee was appointed accordingly. Dr. BAIRD made a communication relative to the Psahnody and Dr. M'Gill moved that the- committee on that subject should be revived. This caused a long desultory conversation, in which Principal Maetarlane, Dr. Bruuton, Mr. Douglass of Ellon, Mr. Garment, Dr. Lee, and others took a part. The question was put —" Is it the understanding that the committee is to be revived ?' when cries of" Yes, yes," and " No, no," resounded from all quarters of the house". Dr. M'Gill withdrew his motion. The reference from the presbytery of Lome, relative to the . settle- ment of the Rev. Archil/ aid Stewart to be minister ofthe Chapel of Ease at Oban, was next called ; but it being intimated from the- bar that parties had agreed, the reference was withdrawn, the presbytery being left to proceed iu the matter according to the law of the church. The Assembly then proceeded to hear the appeal of the Rev. II. Liston and others,, appellants, against a sentence of the Synod of Lothian and Tweeddale, reversing a sentence of the Presbytery of Linlithgow, relative to certain repairs on the manse and ' offices of Dalmeney. In the synod, Mr'. Liston Objected, in limine, that the synod had no jurisdiction in* the matter,- as the. pow ers of pres- byteries,. in the cases of manses, glebes, '& e< do not arise out of the ecclesiastical functions, but as specially given tliem under certain acts of parliament ; while, on the other hand, it was contended that all the superior church courts have a superintending power and authority over the inferior ones. This latter view of the case was adopted by the synod, and the objection was repelled; Upon this, the appeal was taken to the Assembly. Mr. Liston. and Mr. Ferguson appeared as the appellants, along with Dr. Meiklejohn for the presbytery ; Mr. Somerviile ofCurrii appeared for the synod Mr. Greig appeared for himself, with F. Jeffrey for his counsel. Parties having been heard and removed, the Solicitor- General, at considerable length, addressed the '. As- sembly,. contending that this was purely a question of civil right, in which the ecclesiastical courts had no title to interfere ; and Con- cluded by moving, rthat as this was a question in which neither the Synod nor the General Assembly had any jurisdiction, if the pres- bytery refused o, r delayed to do justice when required, the proper quarter, to apply for redress, was to the civil court ; and that the synod ought not to have entertained the appeal: -. Therefore, re- verse the sentence of the synod, and sustain the judgment of the presbytery. This motion was seconded by Mr. Dempster of Denny and unanimously agreed to* The Assembly next proceeded to hear the petition and appeal of the Rev. D. Carment, against a sentence of the Synod of Ross, in respect to certain proceedings of the Presbytery of Dingwall, in granting ordination to John Ross, Mr. Garment was heard in sup- port of his appeal, and Mr. M'Douald for the presbytery, but no appearance was made on behalf of the synod. . After Dr. Cook. Dr. Hamilton, Strathblane, Dr. M'Gill, the Solicitor- General, and some other members' had addressed the house* the Assembly, on the motion of Principal Nicol, declared, in substance, tliat the synod, before proceeding to give judgment in the matter, ought to have had the presbytery records before it. Remit back the whole procedure to the synod', and direct them to serve an order on the presbytery of Dingwall to produce their records, and to hear that Presbytery in explanation ; but- as there are certain anomalies inr volved in the case, the synod shall not give any final sentence, but bring the whole matter before the next General Assembly. The Assembly then adjourned' to Friday at H o'clock. Friday, Wiy 20. The Assembly having met, Sir John Connell, the procuratoV for the Church, as convener of the committee on irregular and cland'es- tine marriages, gave in their report and made some observations on the subject; but, from. the low tone in which the learned Knight ipoke, he was not distinctly heard. The Assembly agreed, that the subject should be referred to the Commission, with instructions to adopt such measures to prevent the evil, as they might deem proper. Dr. Lee stated, that he had, been able. to recover, since yesterday, a book belonging to the church, that' had been famis^ ing for twenty years ; it was- a copy of - Crawford's History or the Church of Scot- land. After some conversation, in which ail the members, wh spoke, bore testimony to the labour bestowed by Dr. Lee ami hi high qualifications as a scholar, it was resol'verfy that a committe should be appointed to take every step in their power for thejire servatiou of the library, and that no volume or MS. shouM be given out, without the authority of the convener. Dr. Gimpbell, as convener ofthe committee on the translation of the Gaelic Bible, gave in the report, which was read. Tbe transla- tion of the Old Testament had been printed in quarto, and that o the New Testament in octavo; a translation of the metrical version of the Psalms had also been made. The committee recommended- that this translation ofthe Scriptures should be used in all ehurche and chapels under the authority of the Assembly. Copes of the work were laid on the table of the house. Principal Macfarlane congratulated the Assembly on this transl; tion, and moved, that the recommendation ofthe committee should be agreed to ; and that the thanks of the Assembly should be given to Dr. Campbell and the committee for tBeir labour and pains m this important matter. Mr. Macleod of Campsie seconded the motion, which was unani- mously agreed to by the Assembly. Dr. Lee moved,, that the report of the committee, as being document of some importance, should be. engrossed in the record; which was agreed to. In answer to some questions, the Rev Doctor stated, that the price of the 4 to edition was under a guine and that of the New Testament was 2s. J) d. The next case that came on was tliat of M r. MaJcoIm Macdonald. minister of Gigha and Cara, against a sentence of the Presbytery of Kintyre, which had been remitted by the Assembly last year that Presbytery with instructions. Mr. Skene said, tliat from the painful nature of this case, and for the interest of all parties connected with it, he trusted, that tl ' Assemblv would agree to a proposition on his part, to remit it to committee, who should report to the Assembly. The Assembly unanimously agreed to the suggestion of Mr. Skene, and a eomnvit tee w. t< named to hear parties. and' ! o » report in the A.^ mhly on, Monday. The Awmhly ibm fo ' cAn- ud^ r % n jpjv- hl from eer- t ufi iuhabiUMMtf' rhe parish of Lasswade, against a decision of. the Presbytery of Dalkeith, refusing permission to erect a chapel of ease at Rosliii j' wkji a dissent from said decision, by the Rev. Mr. Ramsay, minister of Ormistoh. Mr. Ramsay appeared for himself; Mr. Jeffrey for the appellants; and Mr. H. Co.: kburn, Mr. P. Robertson, r and the Rev. Mr. Torrance, of Glencorse, for tin? Presbytery. Some . difficulty arose a* t& the propriety of entertaining the ap- peal, in consequence of the appellants not having lodged their reasons within the number of days limited by the law of the church; birr, after soift'e discussion, it was agreed, on account of certain specialities in this case, to waive the legal objection, it being under- stood that tlie doing so should not be held as - precedent.' Mr. Ramsay then addressed the Assembly. He appeared to' complain of the judgment of the Presbytery of Dalkeith, in refusing to allow the erection of a chapel of ease at Roslitv ; and although h. r, as the only member of the Presbytery Wht » had regularly entered'' is dissent, he believed lv was not the only one who drsag/ eed trifle their judgment. The Preslwtery were f( J in number ; 2 of whom ' id not vote. So thut while there were 5 against granting tho prayer of the petitioners, there were 5 Vho were, not against it » ! The Presbytery was thus equally divided ; and they uow came to: the Assembly for^ direction and advice. The parish of Lasswade as very extensive, and very populous. The church and village of i.. asswade was situated at the eastern extremity of the parish, which ' extended to the westward eight miles beyond the church. In I population ofthe pariah was 4l6t>,. and since that period it « d increased he believed to - ftiOO, Two- thirds of this number might be taken to be examinable persons, who had right to church trivileges, namely upwards of individtrals. The parish church, it was stated in the petition, contained only 1400, sitters but he believed, if accurately estimated, it would not. be found ca- di!," of containing in me than 1200. The body of the churchr hich was allotted to the parishioners, was not seated for more than COO." The rev. gentleman arged the necessity of granting the petitioners' request by various other arguments. In conclusion, he id, they might br. st of their magnificent church, of its rights, anil of its laws; but if they suffered the people, by indifference to' their desires, or by any harsh treatment, to go away from it, and join different dissenting societies, the magnificent fabric of tire enhi- blished Church, spoiled of its ornaments, and deprived of its pillars of support, would soon tumble down, and they> e buried under iu rU'LfW » " •' . - i; , , , -' y. , . • -..' Mr. James Moncrieff said be was well acquainted with the cir- unjsfcxnees of the parish, and was quite convinced of the necessity and imjmrrarn- e of, the chapel being erected. He would not trespass art her on the time of the house, but move that the Assembly do- sustain the appeal from the Presbytery of Dalkeith, aud reverse the ntence : Find the circumstances of the case are such as to render expedient that the prayer of the petition should be granted, and chapel of ease erected at Roslin : Remit to the presbytery to pro- ceed in the matter according to the act of Assembly relative to chapels of ease. This motion was seconded adopted. - ; Saturday^ May 27. The report of the Committee on the Widows' Fund was made by Sir II. Moncreiff, who stated thut an addition Would this year be made to the annuities, but no farther addition could be made for fourteen years to come.- , With respect to the additional emoluments to the officers of the fund, he said it Was not of great consequence to him as an individual, for in all probability he had bnt little longer to live, but the other officers were well entitled to an advance of salary, for never were more meritorious individuals employed in any serv ice than the clerk of the trustees and the collector's clerk. The thanks ofthe Assembly were then givea by the Moderator to Sir Henry Moncreiff, for the diligence, activity, and fidelity, with which he continued to discharge the duties of Collector of the Widows" Fund. by Mr. W. Paulr and unanimously The Committee on the Royal Bounty was then appointed. The report of the visitors of the Synod books was given in, which stated that the records ofthe Synod of Moray had not been regularly authenticated by the signature of the Moderator, atjd thev did not appear to have been produced to the Assembly for eighteen years. Dr. COOK considered this as a great irregularity. It was ne- cessary that these hunks should be produced every year, or onco in two years, whereby it could easily be ascertained if they contained a fair record of tbe proceedings of those Courts, Tho report ofthe ConWiittee on public accounts was next laid on the table, from which it appeared that petitions for aid bad been presto fed from the' ministers of Glenshiel, Kiltearn, Barht, and Kirkwall, and from the Presbytery of Tongue. The three first petitions related to disputes as to glebe*, and, for want of funds, th. Assembly was reluctantly compelled to refuse their prayer. The case of Kirkwall was considered of great importance as a general question. It was, whether the first Minister of a parish in 4 royal burgh was entitled to a ihause. The Assembly ri- sohed to defend ic action at the expense of the funds- of the t'hurch. The peti- tion from Tongue was refused for want of funds. The general point at issue here was. whether the Court of Sessiiui had the power of reviewing the judgment of a I'resbytery in case of deposi- tion of a schoolmaster. Dr. Nlcei!,!,, in submitting that'the prayi* of fflis petition should lie refused, said h • understood that a suliscriptiott - was to ho set ou foot to defend this important ( piestion.— The Presbytery had already been unsuccessful in the Court of Session, and it was proposed to- ap] ieal to the House of Peers. The Report'of the Committee on Chapels of Knsa was Brat pro- duced. It stated that the alterations prayed for on the constitu- tion of the Chapel of Anderston were' reasonable, and ought to lie granted:— the Assembly resolved in terra, ofthe recommendation. With respect to the alteration on the constitution of the Chapel of Ease at Arbroath, the Committee reported ( aud the Assembly de creed accordingly) that it ought not to be- mude, without tbe con- currence ofthe whole parties having an interest. The Report of the Committee 011 Small Livings wits neSfpnv' duced. Principal . Vic- on. stated, that it was proposed to pri- scnt a petition to thc King,- aud a fnrmorial to the Secretary of State. These had been revised by Mr. iJtindas and another Hon. Member of the Assembly. Tbe petition wait then mail.' It prayed for in- quiry. Tiie Committee was directed to give countenance, advice, and assistance, to the gentlemen interested in the business ; bnt it; was understood- that the main object should be earned thtotgb kf the parties themselves. The Committee on the reference from the Presbvtery of ' Sortie Isles, reported that it was their unaniinou* opiusou, that the con- duct of the Presbytery should be approved of; that there appeared no grounds for commencing any process against Mr. Paterson ; and that, with respect to the alleged indecorum during the dispensation of the Lord's Supper, remit to the Presbytery to tender such ad- monition to their brethren as the circumstances of the case call, for. The Convener of the Committee relative to Parocliial School- masters, stated that there was no report thh year, as nbthing de- cisive had been done, but he suggested that the Committee should be re- appointed. The report of the Committee for classing returns to overtures trim next called for, wheH it appeared that a majority of Pi- esbyteries had expressed an approval of the first overture for an alteration in the course of tlieological study, und Uiat one- half had approved ot the second overture. Dr. BKCSTOX, as convener of the Committee, . tated that forty- two Presbyteries had approved of the first overture, and thirty- eight of the second, therefore he felt himsulf juntilied iu movhig that the first overture do now become a law of tho- Church. Hy this overture it would become imperative on every student to give one year of regular attendance) at the Divinity Hidl. When evei v other profession was making such exertions to improve its education, it would ill become the Church of Scotland not to make similar at- tempts to improve the course of study iu the best and mtfct noble of sciences. In all alterations, great care ought to lie taken fo follow rather titan precede the march of opinion, and that had bueti doua , in the present case. It hod been objected w. the jm, pos « d alteration in the course of study, that it would injure a ino « i iist- fnl class of young men, who acted us tutors and teachers in the cbuntrv. If he thought that such would be the result, it would be to liitn a con- stant " source of regret that) it had fallen to his lot to- mnve its ado| i- tion as a law. lie misted that the contrary would prove to be the case,, for students would flleBeby be belter able t& undertake- the du- ties of tu-,*. and teachers ; aud us they rose to a higher grade of education, their pupils would also rise. He concluded by tpoving that the first overture do now pass into a law. After a few observations from Principal M'FARI. ASR and Prin- cipal Nicot. t., the motion was unanimously approved of, aud the- second overture ordered to be re traiisruitted. Some conversation fallowed a," to the period when the law wa* to come info operation ; and it was resolved thai all students who, shall enter after the parsing nf tbe law should lie Subject, to its pro- visions ; but it is not to affect those who huye already commenced" their studies. ' - The .'• iSembly then proceeded to hear the appeal of Alexander Brown, preacher of the Gospel, against a sentence of tlie Synod oti. Glasgow and Ayr, affirming a sentence • of the Prc- bytery of Glas- gow, depriving him of his' license for siinnnaica] practices; he hav-. ing written a letter to Mr. Cunningham of Iiaituhaw, offcting tin, pay ct'ltJO" per annum for five years, If that gentleman would, gtvj,, him file prisentation- to, the church ami parish of'Stev, irt„ n. Thia letter Mr. Cunningharti communicated to, the Presbytery. Mr. Jcrrtir appeared'for Mr. Hcown, and expressed- his re- gret for- the rash and ill- advised act, contending that whatever grounds there might have been for suspending the appellant, a -: en- tence of deprivation could only beawardeil agaiuSt a person who . had completed a bargain or. paction. Mr. MAUSHAI. I, of Glasgow appeared for the Svnod and Pres- iiy- cry, and argtled that simony derived its name- froul Simon, meu- tioned in the Acts of the Apostles, who wjjdie'd to purchase with money the gifts of the Holy Ghost, A reference to that passage of Scripture was the best explanation that, could be given uf what the law yens. Ilesidcv, every preacher who could write such a letter must have made up his mind to be guilty at his ordination pf a fear- ful aei of ilt- lilier. it • js- r- iirv. lie concliuled by stating that the 1,11V * j> plied to » iuniH. iie d prtM- itcet as \ » ' ell a* to p.. c'. i,| l » l, ami, ia the •• Jrcnw->( ai> Mt « fi} i<! lav. tl. rPr. bjin'> L. d no » lt"- r; iali. el « t tu pronounce a sentence u|" deprivation. Principal Nicoi. r, said, itfhero'wj;, tuny subjerUn- which the law ct' the Clitireli was more express t han another, it iva, gainst simony. Alter noticing the various acts that applied to this office, lie pro- ceeded to remark tliat the appellant's counsel hail tried to make out e distinction between the intention to commit, aud the actual eom- ttiit- ion of tlie ortence. Tbe appellant, it Was true, had not com- pleted the bargain, but that was no fault of his j anil he ( Dr. N.) t- onsidered the moral guilt as great as the actual commission ot' the While. Under . all the circumstances, he did not see any legal ground upon which an alteration of the sentence coul. l be justified. He should propose that the sentence of the Synod be affirmed. Mr. MoSTRF4i'i-', seconded the motion, who, along WITH THE . Sottctrnii- UfNUtM., fully concttrretl in the law of the case as laid tl. r. vii |> y Principal Sic oil. An overture was presented relative to preachers ordained to go tibtoud, and another rcganling the mode of teaching divinity, both tif which Were scut to coinmittccs. The Assembly then adjourned till Monday. Mmtlay. May 3!>. Tlie report from the edtnmittee on the overture from the Synod of Fife, relative to a digest of the laws of the Church, was GIVEN in and read. It approved of the proposition fur obtaining such a digest as was recommended in the overture, and that it should eX" tend to all the judicatories of thd Church, both civil and ecclesiastical. Aftef some discussion on the propriety of the Assembly GIVING its sanction to ste- h a Work, it was agreed that a Committee should be appointed for procuring materials fur a digest of the laws, and to ' report to next General Astertibly. Dr. COOK called the attention of the House to the state of Kirk Sessions ; he stated that no less than one- fourth of the parishes had rio Kirk Session, aud concluded by proposing that returns should be obtained from all the Presbyteries of the Church with regard to the number and residence of persona composing kirk sessions. Dr. DCSCAS of Buthwcllj in order to show the importance OF the subject, read a part tif the overture from, the Presbytery OF Cupar, which stated that there were iu that Presbytery live parishes which had no ciders, and several others w ith only one elder. The motion of Dr. COOK, after some discussion, was agreed to. ' Dr. MEIKI. EJOIIN gave in the Report of the Committee appointed bv last Assembly to revise the constitutions given to chapels of ease. ' It stated that they had examined the institutions given to tweuty- two chapels during the last twenty- seven years, aud recommended - certain articles for their government ih granting constitutions to chapels of ease in future. The Kcport, on the motion of Principal Macfarlane, was ordered to be printed, and circulated almig with the Acts of Assembly ; and the thanks of the House were given to file Committee by the Moderator from tin- Chair, for the manner iu which its duties hail been discharged. ThrCommittee appointed on Friday, with respect to the case of Cighft and Cart, gave in their report, which stated, that a proposed arrangement had been submitted to them, whereby it was stipulat- ed, that Mr. M'Donald should retire for ever from the parish of Gigha and Cara— tliat he should give his concurrence to the appoint- ment of an assistant anil successor— that to this assistant, in addition to the glebe and manse, he shall assign such portion of the stipend as may be fixed by certain referees named in a bond this day signed, executed, and now produced by Counsel at the Bar. In this pro- postd'arrangement the Committee gave it as their opinion, that the Assembly should concur, it being understood that . Air. M'Donald should be suspended sine die. Whereupon Principal Nicoll sub- mitted a motion in substance as follows, which was agreed to unani- mously:— The General Assembly adopt the opinion of their Com- mittee, and in pursuance thereof, snspend Mr. M'Donald from the oftree of the Ministry, and from the exercise of his pastoral aud judi- cative functions sine die— prohibit him, in consequence of the terms tafeisbond, from residing in the parish of Gigha and Cara— instruct the Pracuratorto gJre his advice and assistance in carrying forward this measure, and order the bond to be inserted in the records of the Assembly. Reasons of dissent were given in from the decision of the Assem- bly in regard to the uniou of the offices of a minister and a profes- sor— also reasons of dissent from the decision in regard to the ap- pointment of a sub- clerk, while there was no vacancy or prospect of a vacancy, as irregular, unconstittttional, and contrary to all for- mer practice. The MODKRATOTI, after an emphatic address to the clerical AND lay members of the House, proceeded to dissolve the Assembly, AND appointed the next General Assembly to meet on Thursday the 17th May 1827.

IN THE SUPREME COURT AT CALCUTTA, AN ACTION WAS BROUGHT AGAINST LUIS JOS. BAFRATTO, BY MISS MARIA JANE CHRISTIANA, TO RECOVER DA- MAGES FOR A BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. THE ESTATES OF THE DEFENDANT AND THE PLAINTIFF'S FATHER ADJOIN EACH OTHEJ-, AND TILE FII- STTLCQNAIUTANEE OF MR. BARRATTOWITH THE FAMILY OF MR. CHRISTIANA, AROSE FROM HIS SENDING MR. C.' S CHILDREN FRUIT. IN FEBRUARY, 1835, THE DEFENDANT MET MR. CHRISTIANA, AUD IN- TIMATED HIS WISH TO CALL UPON HIM ; ON WHICH HE WAS INVITED TO DINNER THE NEXT DAY, AND HE CONTINUED TO VISIT FROM THAT TIME TILL MARCH, WHEN MISS CHRISTIANA WENT TO RESIDE WITH HER AUNT AT BARRACKPORE, AND DID NOT RETURN TILL JULY. IN THAT MONTH HE AGAIN VISITED AT . MR. CHRISTIANA'S AND EXPRESSED TO MR. C. HIS DESIRE TO MARRY HIS DAUGHTER, IF HE COULD OBTAIN HIS CONSENT. HE ALSO SENT MR. C. HIS BUGGY HORSE T'OE FOLLOWING MORNING TO FETCH LIIS DAUGHTER FROM BAIRACK- PORE, AND SAID THAT A GOOD SETTLEMENT SHOULD BE MADE UPON HER. THE DEFENDANT PROPOSED TO SETTLE A LAC OF RUPEES UPON THE PLAINTIFF INSTRUCTIONS WERE GIVEN TO DRAW UP THE SETTLEMENT FOR THAT AMOUNT, IJYT THE DEFENDANT AFTERWARDS ALTERED IT, BV SAYING HE WOULD SETTLE THE INTEREST OF A LAC OF RUPEES UPON THE PLAINTIFF, AND 50,000 STITMLD. IU THE EVENT OF HERDEATH, REVERT TO MR. CHRISTIANA'S ESTATE. NOTWITHSTANDING MR. BARRATTO HAD GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS FIIR PREPARING THIS SETTLEMENT, HE BEGAN TO RELAX IU HIS ATTENTIONS TO. MISS CHRISTIANA, AND SHE THEREUPON ADDRESSED TO HIM THE FOLLOWING NOTE -. " MR DB: AK LOUIS— HOW ORIGINATES THIS COOLNESS ? ON MY PART I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY THING THAT CAN GIVE RISE TO IT.

BARRATTO'S CONDUCT WAS ALSO DESCRIBED AS BEING MOST CRUEL, IN REMOVING THOSE SERVANTS WHOM HE HAD EMPLOYED TO ATTEND HER, AUD ALSO THE CARRIAGE WHICH HE HAD DIRECTED HER TO USE. AT ONE OF THE DINNER PARTIES, M- S. BARRATFO PROPOSED THAT HER SOU AND MISS CHRISTIANA SHOULD CHANGE RINGS, WHICH IN INDIA IS CONSIDERED HALF A MARRIAGE. MR. BARRATTO THEN GAVE - MISS C. A RING ; AND HE, IN RE- TURN, RECEIVED A BROACH, TO WHICH LIE HAD TAKEN A FANCY. IN THE THE COURSE OF A FEW DAYS, HOWEVER, MRS. BARRATTO APPLIED FOR THIS RING TO BE RESTORED, ALLEGING, IT WAS A PRESENT, FROM A RELATION, AND THREATENING LEGAL PROCEEEDINGS IF I' KVAS DETAINED. THE DEFENDANT ALSO TOOK THE PLAINTIFF TO THE EUROPEAN SHOPS, AND PURCHASED HER A FEW LITTIE ARTICLES BV WAY OF PRESENTS ; BUT WHEN THE BILLS CAME IN THEY WERE SENT TO MISS CHRISTIANA FOR PAYMENT. THE REPEATED PRO- MISES OF MR. BARRATTO, AND THE FACT OF PLAINTIFF HAVING REFUSED TWO GOOD OFFERS BEING PROVED, COUNSEL WERE HEARD ON BEHALF OF THE DE- FENDANT, WHO CONTENDED, THAT MR.

A Sixth Continent— AN EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON PRESENTED IN THE SOUTHERN OCEAN MAY RENTIER OUR SETTLEMENTS IN NEW SOUTH WALES OF STILL MORE EMINENT IMPORTANCE. A SIXTH CONTINENT IS IN THE VERY ACT OF GROWTH BEFORE OUR EYES ! THE PACIFIC IS SPOTTED WITH ISLANDS THROUGH THE IMMENSE SPACE OF NEARLY TIFTY DEGREES OF LONGI- TUDE, AND AS M.- NY OF LATITUDE. EVERY ONE OF THESE ISLANDS SEEMS TO BE MERELY A CENTRAL SPOT FOR THE FORMATION OF CORAL- BANKS, WHICH BY A PERPETUAL PROGRESS, ARE RISING FROM THE UNFATHOMABLE DEPTHS OF THE SEA. THE UNION OF A FEW OF THESE M ISSES OF ROCK SHAPE'S ITSELF INTO AN ISLAND, THE SEEDS OF PLANTS ARE CARRIED TO IT BY BIRDS OR BY THE WAVES; AND FROM THE MOMENT IT OVERTOPS THEWATERS, IT IS COVERED WITH VEGETATION. THE NEW ISLAND CONSTITUTES IN ITS TURN A CENTRE OF GROWTH TO ANOTHER CIRCLE. THE GREAT POWERS OF NATURE APJIEAR TO BE STILL" IN PECULIAR ACTIVITY IN THIS REGION ; AND TO HER TARDIER PROCESS SHE SOMETIMES TAKES THE ASSISTANCE OF THE VOLCANO AND THE EARTHQUAKE. FROM THE SOUTH OF NEW ZEALAND TO THE NORTH OF THE SANDWICH IS- LANDS, THE WATERS ABSOLUTELY TEEM WITH THOSE FUTURE SEATS OF CIVILIZA- TION. STILL THE CORAL INSECT, THE DIMINUTIVE BUILDER OF ALL THESE MIGHTY PILES, IS AT WORK ; THE OCEAN IS INTERSECTED WITH MYRIADS OF THOSE L'- TES OF FOUNDATION ; AND WHEN THE ROCKY SUBSTRUCTURE SHALL HAVE EXCLUDED THE SEA, THEN WILL COME THE DOMINION OF MAN.- Monthly Heview. Haram of the Mogul.— AS THE CLIMATE OBLIGES THE LADIES OF THE HARARN TO WEAR ONLY VERY LIGHT DRESS, THERE ARE SOME MANUFACTURED OF SILK OF SO FINE A TEXTURE, THAT THE WHULEDRESS DOES NOT WEIGH MORE THAN AN OUNCE ! THEY REPOSE IU THESE DRESSES, WHICH TLIEY CHANGE IN THE MORNING, CASTING ASIDE THE FORMER AS OF NO FARTHER USE. EVERY- DAY THEY ASSUME A DRESS OF DIFFERENT COLOUR. THEY ARE ADORNED BE- SIDES WITH AN IMMENSE QUANTIFY OF JEWELS 5 THE COLLAR OF THEIR ROBE IS BORDERED WITH TWO BANDS OF DIAMONDS ENCHASED IN THE CENTRE OF TWO ROWS OF PEARLS, CROSSING UPON THE STOMACH. THEIR EAR- RINGS AND BRACEK- TS ARE OF SURPRISING BEAUTY. THEIR FINGERS, AND ALSO THEIR TOES, WHICH ARE BARE ( THE FEET BEING COVERED WITH SANDALS ONLY), ARE ORNAMENTED EQUALLY WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RINGS. All THE WIVES OF THE • MOGUL, AND ALL TIRE PRINCESSES, HIS DAUGHTERS, CARRY ON THE THUMB OF THE RIGHT HAND, IN THE FORM OF A RING, A SMALL LOOKING- GLASS BORDERED WITH PEARLS. THEY CAST THEIR EYES INCESSANTLY UPON THIS MIRRPR; IT IS WITH THEM THE OCCUPATION OF EVERY MONFENT. THEIR MOST BECOMING ORNAMENT IS A GOLDEN GIRDLE OF THE BREADTH OF TWO FINGERS, ENRICHED WITH JEWELS. MANTLES OF THE SAME METAL ARE SUSPENDED TO IT, SOWN WITH DIAMONDS, WHOSE POINTS ARE TERMINATED BY KNOTS OF PEARLS. WHAT IS VERY SURPRISING IS, THAT EACH OF THESE LADIES HAS A CHANGE OF SIX OR EIGHT SETS OF THESE PEARLS. A Happy Suggestion.— A LADY WHO WAS VERY HOSTILE TO LAZINESS, AFTER IMMODERATELY PRAISING A GENTLEMAN, WHO STOOD VERY HIGH IN HER GOOD GRACES, WOUND UP ALL HER COMMENDATION WITH, THE FOLLOWING VERY PROBABJE- ASSERTION :—" AND NEVER, I MOST SOLEMNLY ASSURE YOU, NEVER DID THE SUN SEE HIM IN BED."

When the army of Charles Edward entered England, during the rebellion of 1745, the terror of the English at the Highlanders was almost inconceivable. One evening as Mr. Cameron, of LoChiel, entered tbe lodgings assigned to him in Carlisle, his landlady, an old woman, threw herself at his feet, and with uplifted hands and tears in her eyes, supplicated lnm to take her life, but to spare her two little grandchildren. He asked her if she was in her senses, ami told her to explain herself; when she answered that every body said the Highlanders ate children, and made them their common food. Mr Cameron having assured her that they would not injure either her or her little children, or any jierson whatever, she looked at him for some moments with an air of surprise, and then opened a press, calling out with a loud voice, " COME out, children, the gentleman will iw> t e: it you." THE children immediately left the press \ yhere she had concealed them, and threw themselves at his feet.— Chevalier de Johnstone's Memoirs. Pwshjtbrian Prhiteges.— We understand, on Questionable au- thority, that an order was issued on the 15th of May inst. from the Horse Guard?, to Lieut.- General Sir George Murray, ct'umiuuuling the forces in Ireland, transmitting- a copy of the decision of hi* Ma- jesty's Uovermneut, rd tUve to soldiers being* allowed to aitetal tfie ifttv- fiog~ luju? os of ar. y der-' iiiiHiiihou of fV>' Vi Ici'liUi*. the inini*-( vrs of which receive tf- st ipond Iron) the crow'u, wi- rli instruction* to the Lieut.- General to carry this decision of ihe King's G'overmnent into effect, by- communicating it to the officer commanding ' tl. fc 72d .-'• ginient at Belfast, as well as all other odicers commanding regi- ments within his command.

THE USURPER AND LIIS TWO SONS ARE PRISONERS, The DETAILS OF THE EVENTS OF the SIEGE, from the 834 up to THE END OF DECEMBER, HAVE BEEN RECEIVED, of WHICH THE FOLLOIFIIIG' SUM- MARY IS COPIED FROM THE COURIER " BY THE DISPATCHES OF THE 23D OF DECEMBER, IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THE FIRST PARALLEL WAS NEARLY COMPLETED. QN THE MORNING OF THE 24TH THE BATTERIES OPENED, AND IN THE COURSE OF THAT DAY, EIGHT 18- POUNDERS PLAYED ON A PART OF THE WORKS, CALLED KUDDU'M- KAII- DEE, AND FIFTEEN MORTARS OU ANOTHER POINT, CALLED BULDEO SINGH'S GARDEN. " ON THE NIGHT OF THE 24TH, THE WORKING PARTIES WERE A GOOD DEAL ANNOYED BY THE ENEMY'S MATCHLOCK TNEN— SOME OF OUR MEN WERE KILLED, AND CAPTAIN SMITH OF THE ENGINEERS, AND ERTSLGN GEILS OF THE ( 50TH REGIMENT WERE WOUNDED. " ON THE 26TH, AN ADVANCED BATTERY, MOUNTING TEN GUNS, WAS COMPLETED, BETWEEN THE TWO FORMER POSITIONS. SEVERAL' OF THE DE- FENCES WERE NOW DESTROYED, ARID TERRIBLE EXECUTION WAS DONE TO THE TOWN, WHICH HAD BEEN SET OU FIRE SEVERAL TIMES. ON. THE NIGHT OF THIS DAY THE CONFLAGRATION WAS AWFULLY GRAND, AND IT WAS SUPPOSED, THAT AT THIS TIME THE ENEMY'S FORAGE WAS DESTROYED ; FOR, ON THE MORNING OF THE 27TH, THEY TURNED THE CATTLE, LOOSE, AND DROVE THEM OUT OF THE GATES. " PRIOR TO THE 26TH, SEVERAL OF THE BETTER CLASS OF INHABITANTS CONTRIVED TO EFFECT THEIR ESCAPE FROM TILE TOWN WITH THEIR FAMILIES ; AND IN THE EVENING A SMALL PARTY OF CAVALRY ALSO ESCAPED. ON THE FOLLOWING EVENING 220 MORE OF THE CAVALRY ENDEAVOURED TO FORCE THEIR WAY THROUGH OUR PICKETS, BUT WERE OPPOSED, AND A SHARP CON- FLICT TOOK PLACE, IN WHICH CAPTAINS CHAMBERS AND PALMER, AND LIEUTENANT BROOKE, WERE WOUNDED ; ALMOST ALL THE ENEMY, HOW- EVER, WERE KILLED OR MADE PRISONERS, " IT IS WITH GREAT PAIN THAT WE HAVE TO STATE AN ACT OF DISGRACE- FUL TREACHERY, WHICH OCCURRED AT THIS PERIOD, IN THE DESERTION OF SERJEANT HERBERT TO THE.

THE BASE TREACHERY OF THIS EUROPEAN WAS THE MORE REMARKABLE, AS OUR SEPOYS WORKED IN THE TRENCHES WITH THE MOST HONOURABLE ACTIVITY, AND OUE PARTY OF THEM EVEN GRUMBLED VERY MUCH AT BEING RELIEVED. " ON THE 28TH, A BATTERY, BEARING ON THE NORTH FACE OF THE NORTH- EAST ANGLE OF THE TOWN, AT 250 YARDS DISTANCE, WAS COMPLETED AND ARMED WITH TWELVE GUNS. A SECOND PARALLEL, CONNECTING THE TWO ADVANCED BATTERIES, WAS COMMENCED, ON THE EVENING OF THAT DAY, AND COMPLETED ON THE 29TH, AND ON THE 31ST THE BESIEGERS WERE EMPLOYED IN RUNNING A TRENCH TO THE SOUTHWARD, AND CONSTRUCTING ANOTHER BATTERY.

ACCOUNTS FROM VIENNA COMMUNICATE THE IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE OF TLIE ADJUSTMENT OF THE LONG PENDING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RUSSIA AND TURKEY. IT APPEARS THAT THE POINT ON WHICH THE DIVAN HAS SO LONG HELD OUT HAS BEEN THE ALLEDGED NON- FULFILMENT BY THE RUSSIANS ON THEIR PART, OF CERTAIH PROVISIONS OF THE TREATY OF BUCHAREST. THESE RELATE TO THE OCCUPATION OF SOME FORTRESSES ON THE ASIATIC FRONTIER OF TURKEY, WHICH ARE STILL HELD BY RUSSIA, THOUGH A STIPULATION HAD BEEN INSERTED IN THAT TREATY FOR THEIR ABANDONMENT. THE QUESTION INVOLVED IN THIS PART OF THE TREATY HAS, IT IS; NOW UNDERSTOOD, BEEN REFERRED TO ARBITRATION, AND TWO COMMISSIONERS HAVE BEEN APPOINTED ON THE PART OF THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT, . WHO ARE TO PROCEED TO ST. PETERSBURGH FOR THE PURPOSE OF SETTLING IT UNDER THE MEDIATION OF TLIE AUSTRIAN AMBASSADOR IN THAT CAPITAL; AND IT IS ADDED THAT, AS A TESTIMONY OF THE GOOD WILL OF TLIE GRAND SIGUOR TOWARDS THE EMPTOR NICHOLAS, THESE COMMISSIONERS" WILL CARRY WITH THEM A LETTER OF CONGRATULATION ON LIIS ACCESSION TO THE THRONE, ACCOMPANIED WITH PROFESSIONS OF AMITY AND GOOD WILL.

PETERS- BURGH, ASSURANCES HAVING BEEN GIVEN TO THE DIVAN THAT THE FULFILMENT OF THE TREATY OF BUCHAREST, SO FAR AS REGARDS THE ABANDONMENT OF THE ASIATIC FORTRESSES, WILL BE STRONGLY URGED ON THE COURT OF ST. PETERSBURGH BY THE REST OF THE EUROPEAN POWERS. IT IS SAID, IN THE MINISTERIAL CIRCLES, THAT THE PRESENT WORTHY SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS WILL B, J RE- ELECTED TO HIS HIGH AND HONOURABLE SITUATION AT THE MEETING OF THE NEW PARLIAMENT, WHERE HE WILL REMAIN FOR ONE SESSION ONLY, WHEN HE WILL BE ELEVATED TO THE PEERAGE, AAD OCCUPY AN IMPORTANT POST IN HIS MAJESTY'S COUNCILS.

THE PUBLIC TRANQUILLITY WAS NEVER LESS DISTURBED IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND THAN DURING THE PRESENT WEEK ;.

WE DO NOT THINK THAT ANY MATERIAL IMPROVEMENT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN TRADE GENERALLY, BUT IN ONE BRANCH OF THE WOOLLEN BUSINESS THERE IS AN OBVIOUS AMENDMENT.

The workmen have behaved with the greatest propriety. There are at present from 850 to 900 em- ployed, and down to ia* t night only two solitary instances of insolence have occurred, in which Mr. Rankine was voider the disagreeable necessity of discharging the individuals. We notice, wifb pleasure, the spirited and liberal manner in whvh the subscription fc> r fno tcVief of wnemployedworkmen is car- ried forward. Thp amount of subscriptions which have now ap- peared in our paper exceeds .4: 7700, and we confidently hope, that when the ) ist.? y are completed, a sum will appear adequate ( o afford relief to evsery deserving applicant.—^ Glasgow Chronicle. Considerable orders for linen goods have lately been received in this place i'rom Jamaica ; but such has been the extent of the ship- ments- of German linens direct from Germany to that quarter, that the shippers b » ve resolved not to venture upon competition.

Rut, unfortunately, Government went farther, anil not content with applying a good and sufficient remedy, they took the supererogatory step, of annihilating the English country paper altogether— and in this, we think, they were entireIv wrong. Not, indeed, thtft we im- pute any great blame to the Ministry in the waiter,* for, in the first plite, this measure ( we mean the English one) unnecessary and oppressive as it is, when coupled with the other, was after all only a return to the metal- lie currency, which had existed in England front 1777 to 175) 7. Secondly, the Ministry lnid the support and encouragement of their co- adjutors, the Economists, on whose shoulders, we must sav, principally rests the blame of the whole measure— and thirdly, they were ooadeil to it, or would have been so, by the whole po- pulation of Enol. wd, among, whom the appetite ior metal, and Horror of paper, has, from the continual crashing of the country banks, become a settled epi- demic. IStit whether blumeaWe or not, error still is error ; and the papvro.' hobia of the south, only proves how error is apt to perpetuate itself, and into what a maze of perplexity and confusion we may be thrown, by a s; ng! e incautious departure from the sound principles of public economy. For in attempting to ap; i! y tl-. c violent and charlatan cure to Scotland, where the real remedy was in full and successful operation, Ministers immediately found them- selves assailed bv such a clamour, as nothing on earth could have occasioned in this country, but one univer- sal Scotch feeling, tiiat Government was, without rhvme or reasaa, approaching within a disrespectful distafu- e of our Scotch pockets. Hinc via lachrymce, (( hose cart loads of petitions)— hence the seditious gossip, and sossipping sedition— tiie niisptaccd jokes, amUnwdrv pamphlets of the Great Unknown— and a- on, the charges of inconsistency and vacillation— and ol legislation from day to day— the antithetical quizzing of Mr. TtBftNEY— and most ' unscientific, but well intend- ed lecturing of Mr. ABKKCHOMBY. We have said, that we think a great part of the respati. sibili. tv of tins matter Ives with the Economists. We can only conceive two views on which they can rest their argument in favour of a metallic currency— Th;, t the private banking paper is, in general, an unsafe and unadvisable currency. 2. ' I hat : t is liable o fluctuation in value, and depreciation from over issue. As to the first of these arguments, we will readily admit, that the opposite proposition is not one that can certainly he deduced from any principal of political eco- nomy. It cannot be shown, a priori, that the natural course of the money market will certainly place banking paper and banking establishments on a perfectly safe footing. Ail that can be estaldished a priori on the point is, that the course of the money market will have this tendency. How far this tendency will operate, must be a question of fact and experience. Now, in determining this point, the error of the Ministry and Economists, we apprehend, was, that they looked at a country where the facts and experience were not to be found, ami hence the error of their cotu'eision. They looked at England, where the money market had not its natural course, but on the contrary was trammelled by the monopoly of the Rank of England;, and they over- looked Scotland, wilt re the market hud its course, un- fettered by that monopoly, and where we think the most triumphant and convincing proof has been afford- ed, that the natural course of the money market has not merely the tendency, but the effect of placing bank ing establishments, and by consequence banking paper, large and small, oil a broad, stable, and sure founda- tion. And we would ask, not in the name of econo- mical science, but of common sense, why a system, which has answered so admirably in this, poor country of Scotland, with otn1 trifling capital aad resources, should fail among <> tir wealthy and entcrpriz'ulg neigh- bours ? This first view of the matter, although that least insisted on by the economists, is, however, the one in which they appear to be least in error; for although, on tiie t. ne hand, we think thai the experience of Scot- land siitliciently proves that there is t; » i necessity & ir abandoning the profits of our paper currency, or, in other words, of incurring the loss arising from the coo- version of our capital into the dead stock of a metallic currency, by any expulsory measure affecting the pri- vate banks ; vet, on the other, we should have no ob- jection to see Government furnishing us with paper and money agents, bevoiid : he possibility of suspicion, and imitating in this ( as It might wisely do in almost every thing else,) the policy of the American republic, w hich, while it imposes no unnecessary restraints on private banking, sends branches of the great national establish- ment into every considerable place in the republic. As to the second argument, it mav be observed, in the first place, that if the alleged depreciation . or fluc- tuation has any reference to the credit of the issuers, it is sufficiently an& weted bv our observations on the first view of the matter. Rut if, as we suspect, it is meant that the value of the paper ( exclusive of this circum- stance) is affected by the mere amount in circulation, this, we do think, is the most singular and unaccount- able mistake that ever was chargeable on the economists. The depreciation of paper convertible at the pleasure of tlie holder, and convertible bv a solvent issuer, is neither more nor less than a contradiction in terms, and utterly at variance not merely with the principles of economical science, but with ihe prinsipWs of common sense; and we should reject the possibility of such a meaning being attachable to their theory, if we could possibly discover any other. It is indeed olivions, that if any depreciation shoidd occur, it would be immediately remedied by ( lie simple process of conversion ; and if by depreciation is meant depreciation ' of the metallic currency into which the paper is convertible, it is equally clear that tliis would be immediately remedied by the equaliv simple process of exportation * We know none of the doctrine of the economists so indefensible as this of tbe depreciation of a convertible currency bv solvent issuers, except it be that lately pro- pounded bv them on the subject of Irish absenteeism We are far from thinking that auv considerable part of the eviis of Ireland arise from absenteeism; but at the same time, we cannot see how it can be a matter of perfect indifference to the Irish tradesman, whether the great Irish proprietor circulate his rents in his own neighbourhood or at TimhucioOk The Timbuctoo theory, however, has hitherto, as fur as we know proved very harmless, while that of the depreciation of the convertible currency litis produced much noise and speechifying, ami a very considerable waste of pens ick, and paper, which might have been employed to better purposes. The errors of great men, however and of professed scavans, as: e dangerous only till they are renounced ; and we trust the economists will itnittite the candour of the Ministers, and rcnotmre both of their dogmas* We trust, at all events, that tliev are above the dishonesty of throwing out random and uiv founded imputations against ( he credit of the Scotch Ranks, and thus endeavouring, by more than question- able means, to work out an argument in favour of their own theory ; although, we must confess, it required h Vf- ry ;• « .•: id. iaMv » lr. tcli i'C ch. uity I-', pu! ar. y ntliei- coii6tnn: lion on some pastors which Iwvo oei .' i.< ii<> n.' illv appeared in onu or two ol our most respectable cotein- pot'j ' ies.

On Monday last, Messrs. ALEX. HENDRY, and WILLIAM lloss, writers, were admitted Members of the Society of Advocates in Aberdeen, and Procurators before the ditlerent Cowrts here. rl'he long pending case between the Earl uf KINTOKE and others, versus JAMES FORBES, Esq. and others, on the subject of the Stake Net Fishing, which has excited a considerable degree of interest, was decided in tlve Second Division of the Court of Session oil Wednesday Jast, when an Interlocutor was pronounced, " in respect, that the machinery aud nets complained of are confessedly erected and placed in the sea, and not iu any river or estuary, the Lords assoilzie the defenders from the conclusions of the libel, and find the pursuers liable in expences— remitting the account of the same to the auditors of Court, to tax and report." On Sunday morning, between 2 and 3 o'clock, a lire broke out in the still house of the Gilcomston Distillery Company. It was speedily discovered ; and an alarm being given, even at that early hour a number of people assembled, by whose exertions, ail led by the fire engines, wliieh were brought from town on the instant, and having a plentiful supply of water on the spot, the fire was pre- vented from spreading, so that tlie only damage done is the destruc- tion of part of the roof of the building, with some pipes, # md other apparatus, of which the value does. not exceed X100. The pre- mises, we Understand, are insured in tlie Globe Fire OfSce. We are happy to learn that the working of the distillery will not be in- terrupted. On Monday afternoon, Samuel Fieteher, sail- cloth weaver, re- peated his somewhat hazardous feat, of leaping from the Bridge of Don into the river ; and which he accomplished with the same suc- cesss as before. He swam a considerable distance after rising to the surface of the water, was greeted on comiug ashore with the applauses of an immense concourse of spectators. The public autho- rities having determined to put a stop to the like exhibitions, Fieteher was apprehended and brought before the Sheriff on Wednesday, when he was prohibited from afterwards making any such indecent exposure of his person: and bound to find security, under a penalty, against any repetition of the offence. We understand that a number of dealers still persist in using the old weights and measures, notwithstanding the provisions of the Act of Parliament for establishing a uniform standard. The con- fusion mid inconvenience, both to buyer and seller, which must re- sult from the use of the old measure-', we should think sufficient to induce dealers to lay lliein aside. The Magistrates, however, have determined to enforce the salutary provisions of the statute, by an examination of all weights and measures within their jurisdiction, after the ( ith June next. Force of Conscience— A female who died here last week, con fessed on her death bed several thefts which she had, been guilty of, and told where the greater part of the property was lodged. Cjmn inquiry, it turned out to be as she had stated ; several of the articles were found in pawnbrokers shops, i'ce. We stated soiae weeks ag. 3, that, in the highland districts of this county, illicit distillation was far from being suppressed ; and that, in several instances, the smugglers bad appeared in. large bodies, carrying fire- arms, and had evea gone the length of firing with ' hall at the revenue officers. A fresh occurrence of the same kind having recently taken place, the Sheriff- depute of this county, and the Procurator Fiscal, repaired, a few d:*.. s ago, to the upper dis- trict of Deeside, and, along with the resident Justices of the Peace of that quarter, instituted an investigation into these outrages ; anil, n consequence, two men, of the name of Charles Lamond and John Smith, from the parish of Cratliie, were apprehended, and transmitted to Aberdeen jail, aud have iir. ee. been coniiiyrted for trial. By the revenue laws, we unde'rstend, that . such outrages subject the offenders to capital punishment; and we sincerely trust that the determination thus shewn by the public authorities, to re- press proceedings of tiiat nature, will have its proper effect ; and that, henceforth, the officers of the revenue will lie iu as much safety to perlcrin their duty in the upper, as they are in the lower districts. The Church Patronage Society Have purchased the potsonage of the parish of Cofinton, close to Edinburgh, which henceforth will belong, in terms of the rules of the Society, to the male heads of families in that parish. We are likewise given to understand thut another patronage is in the market. On Thursday last a nsipite, during his Majesty's pleasure, was received in favour of Charles Bowman, under sentence of death in this place, ihr the crime of housebreaking and theft.

Melancholy Accident.— On Thursday last, William Fraser. voting man of gyeat promise, lately employed iu tbe shop of Messrs, Eraser and Maelennan, Inverness, was drowned while bathing in the Longman. Every exertion was made to save him, and several of his companions went into imminent danger, but all iu. vain. After being about an- hour iu tiie water, be was picked 114, bv tbe crew of a boat, which wa>- put out to bis assistance. The body was immediately conveyed to the citadel, where every effort to restore animation was made) but unhappily proved ineffectual. The un timely and melancholy fate of this young man is deeply lamented by all who knew hi, n. We learn from a correspondent at Elgin, that on Thursday last, the accounts of ihe affirmation bv the Lord Chancellor of the deci- sion of the Coutt S< on. in litvoilt: of lis- Evil! of I'll c, were more anxiety, nor could it. have met a more welcome reception. The bells were rung, a large bonfire was erected on an eminence in the vicinity of the village, where several rounds of imisquefry were fired. Long life to his Lordship to enjoy his patrimonial estates was repeatedly drank, with acclamations of great joy, even the lisping infants crying out, " Lord Fife forever." A bail was then given in the hell uf the Milage, where dancing was kept up with great spirit till morning. STONEHAVEN, May 20 I. a « t week, tbe crew ofa Dutch fishing vessel were kind enough to lii. nl two great lines, be'. mijing to tiie fishermen ofCowic, who, when they dis- eovered the circum- stance, were at no loss to form correct suspicions of the thieves. Two of rtte boats' creA- s-' instantly boarded Vou's ship, which iv. is lying becalmed close by, and uncereinoaionsly demanded their lines and the fish which hud been caught by them. At first, the captain protested his innocence, laying his hand ou his heart, and saying, il Peacie, jtende /" but the fishermen would have no I sens', and threatened to take the vessel into Stonehaven ; whereupon the lines were produced, from which the whole hooks and tippets had been cut to avoid detection, and the fish were also giv,- i out of the vessel's hull. The fishermen, after noting . her name and port, t'n ri tdpk leave of the r lscally Dutchman. We u- uderstaud th , t the proper ap- plication to the Admiralty, for having this infamous transaction punished, has been made. Onthe 15 th ult. tlie trial of Margaret Henry, present prisoner in tbe tolbooth of Stonehaven, accused of concealment of pregnancy, came on before ( Jeorge Douglass, Esq. the Sheriff- Depute of the county, andajnrv. Onthe indictment being reed over, she pled guilty of the crime charged against her ; anil it appealing that she bore an excellent character previous to her committal, mid the Sheriff taking into eoiisider. it ion the time she had been Already confined, sentenced her, after a most impressive speech, to three months im- prisonment. On the 22d ult. in the parish of Fetteres « o, a woman calling herself Margaret Mochay, was lodged ia a house ail night, am} went away early next morning, before tbe people rose, currying with her a number of valuable articles. She then wore a red tar- tun clonic, a petticoat and cap of nearly the s.' inte colour, very old fashioned ; is of short sUture, re, and faced, brown hair, poe. k pitted, apd speaks very bod English. Friday afternoon, a woman, carrying a basket, was observed on the Deiihvtrn green, laying her hands abottt her and collecting the greater part of a family washing, and the hint being given, a crowd collected, who immediately proceeded to indict summary punish- ment 011 her, by sousing her several times in the burn ; and had not a person who was passing restrained their fury, she would, ia all likelihood, have bee n more severely dea> lt with. The counterfeit silver coin now jn circulation consists chiefly of Britannia or Queen's metal : the pieces are much better executed than the copper or brass counterfeits, and iu fact little inferior in appearance to the real coin, but deficient in weight compared to the latter. On Tuesday morning, n man going into Montrose was met b-- a band of sharpers, seven iu number, who contrived by gambling to • ase him of i'fl. The man Went to town aud complained to a ma- gistrate, who immediately sent, some officers iu search of them ; who, after following them until four in the afternoon, found them, at about a mile's distance from Ivrtcrcairn, sitting on the road side. With the assistance ofa number of the inhabitants of Fcttercairn, they were secured and brought into tiiat village, where they, be- haved in a very refractory manner, until they were, hy orders ol' Captain Ramsay, bound with ropes, and sent off" in carts to Stone- haven, under a proper escort.

A number of considerable dealers from tiie South country were upon the ground, as well as many extensive home graziers ; the demand, was consequently pretty bride.; but the prices obtained were very low, so as jn most cases ty leave little or nothing for - winter feeding : some very fiue cattle indeed were jvarteil with la to 20 per cent, under what they had cost before M. Lvtininas. The prices upon the whole were not under those of Iuverury ; aud some considered that there was a slight improvement. ECHT, May 24 Our feeing market yesterday was well at- tended by servants of every description. Wages, contrary ta general expectation, were upon the advance :— Men- servants, first clans, ^ t' 7 15s. to .1* 8 10s.-— second class . t'- t 18s. to seven guineas— third class, or boys, .£ 3 to £ 4. 10s. Women's wages, although somewhat extravagant, arrived at a fair proportion, to tiiat of tiie men : yesterday they were promised from £ 3 to hf 5s. Little sale was effected among cattle, owing to a scarcity of pas- ture, which begins to fail in this quarter. At Bervie cattle market, on Thursday week, there was little or no demand for beasts. Prices, at an average, may lie quoted about 9s. or 10s. a- head cheaper that at Muchatis tryst tbe preceding week. There was - a full market of cattle at Auchinblae on Wednesday last, which met a dull sale, and a great proportion were driven away unsold.
