FQI; R. [ From ( Ac Dundee Courier of Friday, Jane S.] The case of Balfour ( executed this day) has excited gre. it, atten- tion here, and the peculiar features of his mind have added to this feeling as tmich as the singular manner in which he went about the nanguinary act for which he suffered. He » m<, from the be- ginning, to ha- ve LU tde up his mind to the fate which awaited him ; and yet, in the full possession of his faculties, he resolved to pay the forfeit, hi order that he might avenge himself for what his feelings had suC- red from the unfaithfulness of one whom he loved. He has all along declared that he was, even to the last moment of her life, prepared to fbrgiVe his wife, had she shewn any wish to give up wi'. h lier other associates, and to live with him ; but her indifference and contempt- were what he could not bear— although he was ready at trie moment in which he grasped the fatal knife to have taken her to his arms. To the clergymen ami others who have visittsl him since his return from Perth, he has behaved with propriety, and, > n many instances, shewn an intelligence and acuteness of mind above what could have been expected from oue in liis situation uf life, and with his limited means of obtaining in- formation. Though ready to hear them, he shewed a determina- tion to judge for himself of what was contained in the sacred writ- ings ; and to several Clergymen he expressed a difference iu the opinions he held from them, and stated his reasons fordoing so from the Serijiieres, in a distinct and rather forcible manner. Of all the • clergymen who visited him, he stoned most attached to Mr. Hors- ley, who paid him the utmost attention, and with whose sympathy and attendance he seemed much pleSsed. He was also partial to the Rev. Mr. Murray. He had written his son, a young man of nineteen, a cooper in Greenock, on the Wednesday ; he hail also seen several times within these few days his wife's brother, and several others of her relations. His father- in- law would also have coiue to see him, but he was not able to do so from his feelings, they had all exchang- ed mutual forgiveness, and their lotting was tender and affectionate. He had also seen that day his own brother, who was to call on him to- day. His brother is a pensioner, for services in the army. He. was in the navy himself, and both were at £ u.- tmua when Sir John Moore's army was obliged to take shipping frotn thence ; at that time they parted, and he knew not whether he was dead or alive until he recollected his features through the iron grating of the door of his cell, when he came' to call on him. On Wednesday he parted with molt of his ordinary acquaintances, and only wished a few particular persons to be admitted to him, along with Messrs. Hursley and Murray. He passed the night in a very calm and tranquil manner. He read aloud - a number of chapters from the Old and New Testament, aud requested the friend who * tt with him to relieve him occasional- ly in this. Among - the - portions tjf Scripture read were— two chaptets from Job— xxii. and li. Psalm— slit, of Isaiah—*!. Mat- thew— the whole of the epistle to the Ephesians, & c. lie seemed most affected on reading the xxii. Psalm, which he considered a prayer suited to his case. He had been kept ignorant of the arrival ofthe executioner, and a little after the coach passed, he remarked that now lie would be arrived ; ho added, that he - would not ex. change situations with him. He wrote a letter during the night to a cousin of his wife's, and sent her a hook in token of remem- brance. He said he intended to have written a letter, expressive of his gratitude to the Magistrates and those who " had interested themselves in his favour; hut as he still designed to express this on the scaffold, aud hail also given instructions fur this being done in the newspapers, he judged such a letter unnecessary. Messrs. Hartley, Murray, arul Macalistcr, wi re within his ccll early in the day, and conversedand prayed with Aim several times. They were- much '. inpressed with his falmncsa and composure, and S « ith his remarks upon the portions of Scripture which formed the jinhject of conversation. When it was announced that the execu- tioner was at hand, he said, " lam ready and willing ; when I am fcotind by him, I am free." When he saw the ex, utiouer, he said, " Come forward, don't be . afraid; you have no reason." ' filings being thus arranged, he went down to the Guild Hall, ac- companied by Mcsvrs. Horsley, Murray, Macalister, « nd Mr. Dick, surgeon 11 the jail. He bowed most respectfully, and with a placid countenance, to the Magistrates and Council, Commissioners of Police, ir. assembled in the thill, and proceeded to the scaffold, where he bowed most respectfully to the nipititnde. Keeling some- what weak, he requested the llev. Mr. M. icalister to give out. a hymn he had previously selected, which was sung, many of those in the hall and in the street joining in it. The unfortunate man joining in the singing ofthe- hyhm with A plear and audible voice, and with apparent fervour. He then addressed the multitude to this effect—" My friends, you niay think that my condition is hid, ajid so it is ; hut bad as it M, I hope for mercy through the blood fif my Suvjour, and in his blood alone my. tope rests. X ho| ie that you i^ ill take warning from the death to whi? h J have brought myself, ami that the ex- ample that has been made of me will hue.- a proper effect upon your minds. I regret that J have brought so much disgrace upon the town, and I am ready to die, and willing to die for it." ile regretted thai, from weakness, he was. unsbje to express himself so fully as he meant to have done ; but he had obtained . a promise that the substance of what he desired to say would be published in the newspapers, and they might all have an opportunity of seeing it to- morrow. One ol the gentlemen whom he, particularly requested to be with him, observed that he h » d not spoken of. the justice of his sentence as he proposed. He was instantly. aware of it, and turn- ing round, said, " My friends, I._ ackuow, fc « lge that my sentence is just— thetit isrighteous sentence^— ttwt itis uroper fshoijtl for 1 have sinned ajjainst- God and man, tmd have justly forfeited » iy life.

Mr. George potman, the younger, expresses himself highly delighted with these arrangements : Kv. it, April l i " A new ordinance for the theatres has just beer jiublished, which plainly shows how little the Government desires to encourage the dramatic art, and how much it wishes that the superior class slsuild amuse themselves in some other way.— The following are some of the articles of this ordinance :—- The per- formances shall not begin latter than nine o'clock, and end at half- past eleven, except on Thursdays, when they may continue .11 twelve. Only a certain number of persons shall be admitted, into the pit, and those who have no winter ticket ( coidre- marqueJ shall lie turned out. Whosoever stands up ' in the pit shall be arrested, and pay tivescudi. Whosoever puts on his hat shall be immediate- ly turned out. If the contractor acts in the smallest particular contrary to the present ordinance, he shall pay a fine of 50 scudi. An actor who allows himself any indecent gesture, or uses an ex- pression that is not in the prompter's book, shall lie sent for five years to the galleys. No passage shall be repeated. Whosoever disputes in the tlieatAs with an agent of the authorities shall be turned but. Whosoever strikes a blow in tiie theatre, without weapons, shall be sent to the galleys fir ten years. Whoever ap- pears iu the theatre with a weapon of any kind, shall be sentenced to the galleys for life ; or, if lie inflict a; wound with it, to death. All expressions of disapprobation, as well as of enthusiastic applause, are forbidden, on pain ofvnprisonment for not less than two or more than six months. All workmen, who do not immediately obey the orders given them, oi oppose the otBcert, are to be arrested ; and, on the evidence of a soldier and of another witness, sentenced to six months' imprisonment," Such is the substance of this Ordinance. We are really anxious to see whether it can anil, will be carried into effect. Frmpl ( fjfieers in Jhdd.— A short time after, the restoration, some French officers went aud ofiercd their services to foreigncouu- tiias. Some of them, having reached Persia, obtained a higher rank than they had in France; but when England paid to Fith Ali Schah the last, part of a military contribution which wan due to him, it annexed, as a condition, the discharge of all the French officers, without any exception, aud nearly all the French offioers then returned to Europe, by way of Tiflis and Constantinople. Two of. them, however, a former Aide- de- Camp to Marshal Urune, and another officer of the army of Bonaparte, a native of the duchy of Modena, resolved to go and offer their services to the King of C- abu, or of Runjeet Singh, Chief of the Seiks of Lahore. Though watched by the English, whom they persuaded that they intended to go to the Persian Gulli to return to France, they found means, on their arrival at Ispahan, to elude observation, and, disguised as Georgians, proceeded towards Calm. A long time elapsed without any news being received of these two- officers : only a report was spread that, oil reaching the dominions of Runjeet . Singh, they had been given over by him to the English East India Company, - which, it was said, had orders to embark them for France. It is, there- fore, with great surprise, that a letter has been received from Tiflis, in the hand- writing of M. Allard de Saint Tropes himself, iu which he announce that he is in Lahore, with Mr. Ventura— that they are happy, loved, and esteemed, ami have the rank of Gene- ral, with a pay amounting to six thousand francs per month. The country in which those French officers are setttled is quite unknown to geographers, and we have hardly any information concerning it beyond that which was transmitted to us by the historians of Alex- ander, whose conquests ended with the Punjub, which forms part of the dominions of'Runjeet Singh. We may", therefore, hope to re- ceive, one day, information concerning those countries, which will be important to science, and to commerce, and cannot be indifferent to the English— the present possessors of India.— French Journal. Volcano in the Moon On Sunday evening, the 4tli February, I observed ( says Captain Rater) a luminous spot in the dark part of the moon, which I was inclined to ascribe to the eruption of a vol- cano. The telescope used was an excellent Newtonian, of inches aperture, with a power of 11. The moon was exactly two days old, and the evening so clear, that I was able to discern the general outlines in the dark, part, of her disc. Her western azimuth was about 70 degrees, and her altitude about 10 degrees. In this posi- tion, at 6 hours and, 30 minutes," the volcano ( estimating by the eye) appeared distant from the northern limb of the moon about I- lOtli of her diameter. Its appearance was that ofa small nebula, subtending an angle! of about three or four seconds. Its brightness very variable ; a luminous point, like a small star of the 6th or 7t! i magnitude, would suddenly appear iu its qentre, and as sud- denly disappear, and these changes would sometimes take place in the course of q few seconds, On the, tith. I as& in observed it ; it hatf certainly liecome more faint, and the slur- Tike appearance less frequent. I Could see it very distinctly with a power of 40 ; as the' moon approached the horizon, it was visible only at intervals,- when the star- like appearance took place.. Oh the 7th, I. could still see the volcano, and the occasional star- like appearance, but I do not think it was sufficiently percep tible to have been discovered by a person ignorant of its precise'situation. I am inclined, how- ever, to think, that the difficulty of seeing it is rather to he attri- buted to the increased light of. the moon, than the diminished ac- tion of the volca tio. The spot in which I Tibservcd the volcanic, ap- pearance is that named Arislarclms. The spot was particularly examined by llevelius, who calls it Mons Porphirites, and who considers it to be volcanic. If his drawings are to be relied upon, it has undergone a considerable change in its appearance since hi- time. Sir William Herschell has recorded hi his Philosophical Transactions, an observation of three volcanoes which he perceived in the inooo, April 19, 1787, at 1 oh. 36m. side- real time. One of these, which he said showed an actual eruption of fire or lumin- ous matter, was distant from the north limb of the moon 3h. 57m. 3s. the diameter of the burning part being not less than 3m. 1 find that this observation was made about nine o'clock in the evenin: when the moon was not quite two days old ; and from the situation ofthe spot described by Sir Wm. Herschell, I have no doubt of its being the same that I have noticed. A curious circumstance occurred in this city a short time since A brewer, residing in a market town in Gloucestershire, had for some time paid his addresses to a young lady in Somersetshire. He had proposed, was accepted, and the happy hour was fixed for the consummation of his bliss, The lovers arrived iu this eit- y, where they were ui. i - 1, and set off for church; but on. the way, the fair Luiy did not admire the bridegroom's style of dressing h hair, and wished him to step- in to one of our fashionable per rut pa- ers, to complete the required alterations, whilst she proceeded to a milliner's shop to make a trifling purchase. The operations on the gentleman's head were soon finished, but on emerging from . the barber's shop, he could no where find the lady ; and after a long and fruitless search, he discovered that she had taken the opportu- nity of his stdonising to make all speed to tlie. church, where she was indissolubly united to an attorney's clerk, who had long been the more favoured object of her affections.— Bristol Mirror. The sanguine hopes of the. projectors of the Pearl Fishery have, it- is said, suffered some disappointment in the Bay of Panama, where the largest and finest pearls are known to be produced Their first attempts in that sea, from the beginning to the middle of February, had been frustrated by the peculiar nature of the bot tom, which- proved most unfavourable to the operations of the bell. The ground to which they were directed by their pilots « ud the na- tive divers, was invariably found to be uneven aiiil rooky, affording tlO safe resting place to the machine, which, in - piie . or. its emir mous weight, was further endangered by the violence of the unde! currents. The pearl- oysters were never found iu masses or beds, according to previous expectation, bu, t singly in sin^ ll clusters, at- tached to the orc\~ ieos of rocks, and thus sheltered from the fore; of the under currents. The Colombia was left engaged in further investigations, and the onlyehauoe of success on that side seemed to depend upon the discovery of extensive oyster- beds, similar to those in the coast of Ceylon and in the Persian Gulf.

PITT CLUB.— It has often been asked, without any satisfactory answer, which of Mr. Pitt's principles it. is that his Club meets to support? There are several of the traits in Mr. Pitt's life, espe- cially his early life, to which we should not grudge the honour of a celebration— his economical administration, his attempt at Parlia- mentary reform, his advocacy of the abolition of the slave trade, his endeavours to extend the principle of religious liberty, his project for a fair commutation of tithes, and the reluctance which we really believe he felt when he was urged into tha war against France.— But these are scarcely the principles which bring Lord Eldon and Lord Kenyon and others to Merchant- Taylors' Hall. The main topic of praise which Lord Eldon yesterday dwelt upon was, the institution of the prosecutions for treason in 1794, and tin; sus- pension of the Habeas Corpus act. The detestable and nnsuccestul attempt to create cumulative and constructive treasons, in behalf, of which, as a correspondent reminds us, Sir J. Scott made a. speech of nine hours, is now brought forward by Lord Eldon, as the bright part of the liie of Pitt. He alludes, however, to these matters in general language— wisely enough, lor surely if the prosecution of Horne Tooke, one of Pitt's associates in the cause of reform, lor acts not more treasonable in their character than those which thc. y had done in concert— if this prosecution had been plainly detailed, Pitt's warmest admirers must , have blushed for theitidol. The ex- amination of Pitt/ as a witness on that trial was. particularly discre- ditable, even to his private character, for manliness and sincerity.— Globe. . The exertions which are making in France in favour of the Greeks are. at once gratifying and astonishing.

A very numerous meeting ofthe friends of Mr. Buckingham, was convened on Saturday at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James Street, for the purpose of making an appeal to the liberality of the British public, to afford assistance for the support of himself and his family Tlie chair was taken at two o'clock by Lord John Russell, and there were present ' Sir C. Forbes,' Mr. Hume, Mr. D. Kinnaird, Sir John Doyle, and many others of his numerous friends. Lord John Russell briefly stated that he had been requested to take the chair on this occasion, aud he should feel much gratified if his coming forward should prove of any assistance to Mr. Buck- ingham, whom he. considered injured and cruelly oppressed. He thought the peculiar hardship of Mr. Buckingham's was the double punishment, with which he had been visited; 1st. his dismissal from India; and 2d. the total destruction of all his valuable pro- perty. He sincerely hoped the affair would prove successful. Mr. D. Kinnaird moved the first resolution, which was to the effect, that the case of Mr. Buckingham was highly deserving the commiseration ofthe British public, and that all appeals to the Di- rectors of the East India Company having proved unavailing, it was most desirable that the . liberal feelings - gf Englishmen should be exerted to support their injured countryman. In support of this re- solution Mr. Kiunaird made an eloquent appeal to the meeting, and enumerated some ofthe hardships which Mr. Buckingham had endured. One of the causes ofthe removal of that gentleman from Iudia, were some observations made upon a iVIr, Bryce, a clergy- man, who had accepted a situation in the stationary office. Mr. Buckingham thought this was a disgraee to the cloth, and so others thought, and ' Mr. Bryce was compelled to resign,. Even after all the accusations of his enemies had been proved to be false. Mr. B. had endured- a greater amount of punishment than any law Could in- fiioi, and he was ruined, > nd his children punished for life.. Mr. Hume seconded' the resolution, and toqk rather a more ex- panded view of the sufferings of Mr. Buckingham. Banished from the shores of India, stripped of every thing he jwjssessecl, prevented from returning to the scene of his former labours; when his friends, his reputation, and his prospects of fortuue were all happily made, Mr. Buckingham had a peculiar claim upon the generosity of his countrymen. The resolution was then put from the chair, and carried without dissent. Mr. Hume then read a list of subscriptions, which had been en- tcvtd into long prior to the present meeting, and before any public apfjfdl had been contemplated by his friends. Among the* e sub- scriptions were Sir Charles Forbes, L. 500.—( Applause)— Friends in India, through Sir C. ' Forbes, L. 500—( Applatise)— Mr. D. Kinnaird, L. 100 ; Mr. Lambton, L. 100 ; Colonel Stanhope, L. 100 ; Mr. llume, L. 50; and others. Mr. Ilill, who had acted as counsel for Mr. Buckingham, in the courts of law, spoke with much energy and eloquence in support of that, gentleman's claim upon the public.— Mr. Buckingham had proved himself to be not only a man of strong talents, .. but of courage and of honesty. He had ventured to advocate the cause . of freedom on the shores of India. He had borne the . brunt of the battle, and unfortunately been defeated. . The lovers of the free press should therefore come forward and support their champion in . days of di- fficulty and distress, , Sir C. Forbes moved the second resolution for the appointment of a committee. Although he was not decided as to the propriety of a free pi es* in India, he waa copviuced there had better be none at all than the venal press which now existed there.—( Hear, hear.) Sir John Doyle seconded the resolution, in a speech of much humour and feeling ; and, after a short*' discussion, the resolution was carried. The business ofthe day was concluded by a vote of thanks to the chairman, 1 and tbe meeting broke up soon after four o'clock. Letters from Dantzic, to the 1,9th May, received yesterday, state, that the prices of wheat had advanced about 3s. per quarter, but the markets were then extremely dull, which was owing to Urge demands from England having'been anticipated, which had not arrived when the advices left that city.

Dreadful JUxphghM.— On Tuesday morning last, about three o'clock, one of the most dreadful explosions ofchbke damp occurred at Stella Colliery, abaut six miles from Newcastle. Go the day previous to the explosion the Colliery had been at work, and w hether the misfortune can in any degree be attributed to tfiis, does uot . seem to be ascertained ; one thing, how. e. ver,. is certain, trut there must have begn an immense body of in& iminatpry ga* collect- ed to produce an irruption so truly horrifying Ra the present; aud fatal to so many of our fellow creatures. It is supposed that as soon as the men had descended to their work on the awful morning, and ou some of the lights being kindled, the air almost immediately ignited, and thus in one moment caused a scene of death aud desolation which is ahr. Oist incalculable. The sound of the explosion was heard to a great distance; and, indeed, so dreadful were its effects, that the relation seems almost incredible. Corves full of coals were propell- ed with indescribable velocity, from the bottom of tho pit to a con- siderable height in the air ; and all the brattices in the colliery were sent forth" iu the same- destructive manner. Several horses were tl\ rown to tlie top of the shaft; and some men, in the act of descend- ing at the time the explosion took place, weie, by the force of the concussion, cast from a considerable depth' up to tlie surface, aud sustained much ininry, though none of their lives arc despaired of. But so great has Tjeen the calamity, that we understand only live men belonging to tlie colliery have escaped unhurt. How many lives have been actually lost, is not yet known ; but thirty dead bodies have already, been brought up, and circumstances seems to. indicate that many others shared the same fate. Every exertion is now made to discover the rest, of the bodies, dead or living ; but there is too much reason to fear that most of the people employed in this extensive coal work will have lost their lives by this deplorable misfortune. The machinery, within the range of the explosion, was all t, iown to atoms. The Colliery is the property of Mr. George Dunn, of Newcastle. The hite Murder at Manchester.—- We have the satisfaction to state, that the two M'Keands who are accused of the nUirder of Mrs. Blears and lier servant girl, noticed in'our last* . yvere appre- hended on Monday the 20th ult. by a constable of the name of Farraday ai} d other two persons, near Appleby, after a violent struggle. Wheu they were apprehended they had no money what- ever upon them. They appeared to be extremely exhausted ; the soles of their shoes were completely worn through, and their feet were very much blistered. The whiskers of both men were shaved quite off; and their coats appeared as if recently washed. Ou the person of Alexander was found a loaded pistol, live bullets, a little guupowder, and a penknife, the handle of which bore stains of blood. At their first examination before the Magistrates, Alexander stoutly asserted his innocence, saying that his name'was Matthew Kirk, and that he was upwards of thirty years of age. Michael said that his name was James Kearson, and that he was likewise innocent of the charge. On the arrival of AJr. Lavender and his party at Appleby, about noon on Wednesday, they immediately proceeded to the Court House along with the Magistrates. The prisoners were then brought up. BleHr's and the other witness identified them ; after which the whole party set off towards Lancaster. On their arrival there, they found the market- place filled with people, whose conduct was violent in the extreme; and there is no doubt that but for the interference of Mr. Norris and Mr. Lavender, the M'Keands would have been torn to pieces by the infuriated popu- lace. The constables had to fight their way through the mob from the place where they alighted from the coach, to Lancaster Castle; and during all this time the prisoners appeared extremely alarmed, and clung to the constables for protection; and on reaching the Castle they appeared relieved, and seerped to consider it a place of 11 adding ' ON.- Colt N M.

Laurence Eraser was charged wit! wilful murder of Mitchell Moncrieff, a bciy of about eight y « .- u- s of :, in the parish of Sandsting, and County of Shetland ami Orkney, on the 29th September Inst, by shooting the said Mit- chell Moncrieff, with a gun loaded with slugs, the contents of which penetrated the left arm and entered his body, of which wound he expired in a few hours thereafter. The pannel. pieaded guilty, but uot to his having committed the act designed!?. Witnesses having been examined, the Jury found the prisoner guilty of culpable homicide, and he was sentenced to nine months- eoflfinement in Bridewell. Alexander Borland, manufacturer in Paisley, was charged with unlawfully intercepting, opening, and detaining, several letters addressed to Mrs. Caldwell. - Renfrew Road, Paisley, in theinonlh of February last. It appeared iu evidence that Borland rfas a partner in the firm of John Caldwell and Company, manufacturers in I- Visely—- that iu ttie month of November last, Caldwell had gone to Eugland,- carry- ing along with him goods to the amount of upwards of L40U0 ster- ling, under preteuce of doing liosinws for the firm— that sliotrly after lie sent a letter to his Sun George, residing in Paisley, aud * clerk to the firm, stilting that he was going to America, and re- questing him to secure a few hundred pounds, as they might he- useful-— which coming " to the knowledge of Mr. Borland, a meet- ing of the creditors was called immediately, when it was discover-' ed that, besides the goods, Caldwell had taken with him, he was indebted to the firm £. 2000 iu cash. Mr. Borland anxious to ob- tain information as to his partner's real intentions, and desirous to learn what liiight' be communicated by Caldwell to his family ad- vantageous to the creditors of the / iron, as soon as he utiderstiijid that a letter had arrived addressed t^ Mrs. Caldwell, tmdei pre- tence of taking the letter fo Mrs- C. ijitained ij from the letter, carrier^ broke it open, and showed it to the trustee on the bank-' rupt estate. A day or two after this letter had bobn thus obtained, another letter had come' to the aforesaid address, which was also at tlie instance of Mr. Borland, and under false pretence, taken out of the Post Ofliee. The trustee on the estate detailed the stejis that had bec- n. taiin with respect to Caldwell's fraudulent-;, deponing that had he nc « run off with the goods and funds, the firm would have been per- fectly solvent. A number of witnesses were examined both for the prosecution and for the prisoner, wlii) all concurred in giving him an excellent character. The " nry were addressed, ou the part of the Court, by the Lord Advocate—- and in a very able speech, by Mr. Moncrii- ff, for the pannel. The Lord Justice Clerk summed up the evidence, and, at con- siderable length, Adverted to the sad consequences that might result to , file country were private correspondence, under any pretence whatever, to be interfered with. The Jury havitig retired for about half an hour, returned the following verdict— 1" The Gentlemen of the Jury unanimously find the prisoner guilty of fraudulently obtaining and detaining the letters libelled, but without any fraudulent intention, uud unani- mously recommend him to the mercy of the Court." Tlie Jury were desired to reconsider, and bring iu a specific verdjpf. They were accordingly re- inclosed, and, after a lew miuutes, returne< l their verdict— guilty of the crime libelled, but, in consideration of tbe alleviating circumstances of his ease, unanimously recommend hiin to the leniency of the Court. Lord Pitmiily, aftei- adverting to the nature of the ease, said, tat*' she liiiLrJ did not appear to h. tv< 5 acted from vkinioui mo tivea, Ite sho'iild provost' imprisonment in thfe-' Jail of Paisley lor six weeks.

Note CurreiicV ot Scotland and ltelautJ, a « tl the relative evidence, will, we think, go far to put the English jmtJic in posse « stdn. of. the true state Of this queslion. Tiie- immediate efleet of tlie aimiliilatian of our mnaii tiote enrreitey would have lieen neither more nor less, than the unnecessary dentcnetioii of about two ttiilHons of Scoacii capital, and the general derangement of the money investments throughout the country. We think it was impossible for thesu Committees to look at the evidence adduced before them, without being convinces!, that the inexjiedienc. v of a paper currency, eoiivertitite at the' pleasure of the holder, and issued by efit. af'lishmehts of ttiiquestioiied solidity, is a mere chimera— and that the trite source of the evils of English Batilting is not . the paper currency, . but the monopoly of tlie inttik, of England. But, although these Committees ( which are under- Stood to' speak the sense of Government on this mat- ter,) have very properly reported in favour of the continuance oi' our currency on its present footing, it- was ' hardly to be expected, that the Ministry should avow the -" ftd! extent of the error into which w e think they had fallen ; and accordingly, both Reports mat- be said to consist, mainly o| an awkward attempt to reconcile the condition to which they have ar- rived in the case , of Scotland, with the general prin- ciples hitherto maintained by them on this question. The Committee of the Commons, for instance, rest their Report on the allegation, that there must be some " special circumstances in the condition of Scotland," to justify the conclusion of the Report. V\ e will, venture to assert, that there is no peculiarity iu the condition of Scotland <* ther than this— that | ter . money market has not been weighed down by any mo- nopoly— that her banking establishments are in the sound and healthy state at which they will naturally arrive in any country, in which the trade in money is free— and that the peculiarities mentioned in the Rep » rt proceed, beyond question, from this general cause. It is very true, that the sound state of the Scotch Banking System, like all sound institutions of a public and national nature, is attended with remote and col- lateral, although very important advantages. Thus, it is true, that the proht derived from the paper cir- culation may afibrd ati inducement to the extension of Bank Branches to the less populous parts of the king- dom— that the same cause may lead to the extension of cash credits and does uMjiiestionabiy enable the Banker to afford a reasonable interest on deposits— w hat, of all that ' i There is nothing, in branch bank;, cash cre- dits, or interest notes, peculiar to the soil or climate of Scotland. These are all admirable illustrations of the Collateral advantages arising from the prevalence ot a good general principle-— sotmd, arguments for setting free the trade in money among our neighbours. But do thev afford any reason for the destruction of the Scotch capital, by which these very advantages are pro- duced ? Certainly not. Yef, from the turn of some of the ' arguments on this question, the complaints of the unfuir advantages, the superiority, & c. enjoyed by the Scotch banker, Me are almost led to the conclusion, that this is the doctrine meant to be maintained. In one point of view, indeed, the advantages of the Scotch Banker may place him iu something of invidious rivalry with the English Banker. From the thorough solidity of the Scotch banks, it is not improbable that the small note currency of Scotland may find its way across the border; and accordingly, both the reports hint at the possible necessity of confining tile circulation of Scotch mites to this country. But alas 1 how error multiplies itself: for here we find ourselves in a sea of dif- ficulties. By what oriental legislation shall we prevent the passage of a Scotch note across the national border ' i The very idea" is absurd ; and to increase the absurdity, the party for whose benefit the measure is pro- posed, would be the last to avail himself of it. What Entrlish banker would refuse a Scotch note that lie was otherwise acquainted with, still less impeach it, under cover of a measure so uneticUsh and despotic. Boor Ireland, too, at the time when sne has just been relieved of the monopoly of her national bunk— when she had the reasonable prospect of enjoying the profits of a small note currency— of extending her banking es- tablishments, and participating in ail the advantages oi the Scotch system— Ireland, wliich, whenever there is e> ii, or suffering, or error of any kind, is sure lo have her full share of it— is doomed, as soon as pos- sible, to be sacrificed to the metallic mania of Enghuid, and with this announcement, is dismissed in both reports with a single aud superficial ' paragraph.

Smuggling.— Ou the evening of the 31st nit. the men beiongiug to the Preventive Service tell in with a band of srnuggU rs near Cul- len ; and after a seizure of a cart, a horse, and two ankers ol whisky was effected, the smugglers assaulted the men, anil cut one of them severely on the head. On falling, the man discharged a pistol, ' and the ball took effect in. the smuggler's arm. 11c was not so materi- ally injured a- to prevent his escape— and all search for him and Lis companions has hitherto proved ineffectual. Oil Monday, Mr. Ross, supervisor, and Mr. Tawsc, officer of Excise, were assaulted at Petterdeu by a band of smugglers. Mr. Uo> s was seriously injured, and had to be taken liome iu a post- chaise, where he still lies very ill. This assault appears to have been of a most wanton and revengeful nature ; as the officers were not at the time making any senate. Sfr. Ross's misfortune is much regretted by all who have the pleasure of his acquaintance. His gentlemanly comhsct, aud the correct civil maimer in which he perforins bis doty, has made him a general favourite in that quar- ter. On Tuesday, a party of the Seventh Hussars, with two Excise- officers and a Sheriffs officer, proceeded it! search of the perpetrators of this cutivtge ; but returned unsuccessful. Petterden and it » neighborhood has long teen famed as_ a cost for smugglers of the most ferocious description, always ready for deeds of viol- ence. Incendiaries seem to he as busy in this quarter as lately they wfcre in Ireland, ' To a roceiit instance of fire- ratsing on the estate oi Otirris, belonging to. his Grace the Duke of'Gordon, we have this w eek to add another of the same kind. On Thursday week, a young wood plantation at Bainagtibs, belonging to George Silv er, Esq. of Netherlay, was discovered to Iw on fire: hv the proprietor, who immediately gave the alarm to liis servants, by whose exertions, in cutting an avenue, the devouring element was arrested in its progress, but not before - several acres of the wood were consumed. A precognition has been instituted to find out the origin of the fire, hut as yet nothing has been elicited to throw any light on the mat- ter. Saturday evening, ti fellow went into a stabler'* house in Back Wynd, and was -'. o- vn into a back room, where he called for some drink. After stopping a shore time, he paid, aud went away; but had not been gone many seconds, when the mistress of tile house, missing To?, which she had in a t- a canuister, set out after him, and fairly ran him down at a considerable distance from her own house, and recovered possession of the money. Last week, a- labourer employed at the new Cotton Mill erecting at the end of Constitution Street, fell to the ground, from a con- iderable height, at, d . Was taken up naticli hurt; but is now in a fair way of recovery. A Deeside farmer,- returning from Stonehaven market, ou the evening of Thursday se'ennight, observed, a short way on tlio road before him, a person, whom he supposed to be a neighbour- ing farmer ; and being anxious of obtaining company, he quickened his horse's pace, on purpose to overtake him : but no sooner did the foremost rider see the latter gaining upon him, than he dis- mounted, and, after taking the bridle front the animal's head, made his. exit into the fields. The farmer, on coming up, dis- covered the hoii. se to belong to a person a: Netherlay, W ho at that time was employed watching his landlord's wood, lest the fire should again break, out. Of course, the man regained his horse before he was aware that the animal was lost. CLEISBUCKET, June 1 As soon as it was known that the Lord Chancellor had affirmed the decision of the Court of Session, in favour of the Earl of Fife, the whole inhabitants of this parish met at Simuybraes, with one accord, to rejoice in the success of their noble aud beloved landlord.

On Thursday se eimigliU as stated in our last, this most important case was decided by the Second. Division of tlie Court of Session. The pursuers are proprietors ( rf salmon fishings on the river Don. The defenders are possessed of estates, with grants of salmon foiling from the Crown, on the const to the north of that river. These defenders had recently erected stake nets for catching salmon at their respective fishing stations, the nearest of which stake iy; ts was from ofie to two miles distant from the mouth ( of the river, and some of tl^ em were ei:£ hr or ten miles distant from it. In consequence of these erections the pursuers instituted this action, for. having it found and decided shat, by the ancient statute law of Scotland, which is still ? n'force, aft; such fixed machinery for catching salmon on the coast 6f the ocean is positively prohibited, and ordered to be put doWri. . The < 1.. fenders admitted that such machinery was prohibited in the mouths of rivers, . as was solemnly decided both in the Court of Session aud in the House of Lords, iu the Tay case; but they con- tended that, of - the whole series'of statures on this subject, not one could be fairly construed to apply to the proper Ocean. Lord' . Mackenzie, before whom the case was pleaded ordered in- formation* to the Court; and when those papers came to be ad- vised, their Loidship> ordered a hearing; in presence. Four Counsel were accordingly heard on diiferenj days last . session. And on Thursday last the Court pronounced judgment, in favour of the de- fender, aud found them entitled to expenses. In pronouncing this judgment, however, their Lordships were | iot unanimous. Lords Justice- Clerk, Pitmilly, and Alloway, gave decided opinions for the defenders.. Lord Glenlee's opinion was in favour of the pur- suers. It is understood that the Parliamentary Committee on tlie salmon fisheries have been, awaiting the issue of this case, in order that the actual state of the Jaw respecting stake nets on rhe coast might be known. No doubt the case may Still be carried to the House t> f Lords ; but from the dispatch with whieiVbasiness is now conducted there, a very short time will certainly lay it finally v rest. There are numerous other actions iu Court which w) U he re- gulated by this leading c^ se. Indeed, the extent of the interests affected by $ h'i » question is obviously very great.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.— One- of the greatest discoveries yet made ia navigation has transpired, although the patent has been abandoned in consequence of the technicalities of the patent laws, and the probabilities of litigation. Three- fourths of the fuel now used in steam navigation will be s;> ved. TJie vapour of quicksilver is substituted for steam, with similar machinery, and a few precau- tions to' prevent any waste of the metal by a pipe on the safety- valve, & c. The bottom of the boiler which is very small and strong, as compared with tliat now in use for producing steam, is conical, and the'termination of the cone is in contact \ v* ith the burning coals, which surmount it, their heat is communicated almost instanta- neously to the quicksilver in the boiler, throwing it into vapour, at the temperature of 056 degrees of Fahrenheit. Its elasticity and power can be well indefinitely increased by heat, and the greater the vacuum in the cylinder on opening the valve communicating with the well. The saving of stowage will be very considerable, and a ton of quicksilver will be sufficient for propelling a vesSei to India and back again, with 110 horse power. ARRIVALS AT A tiEll DEEN.

Hallidav's Annuls ot the House of Hanover the follow- ing new 1 ersion is given of the story of the Princess of ( Vile ( wife uf (,' e . rge 1.) and I'ouftt Ktwipmufk. By the way, it is a. great fault in Sir Andrew, that he is too sparing iu his relerences to au- thorities:— " ' li e Princess of C'elle felt indHftiaat at. the neglect of her bus- band, and would not submit to the insults of h » mistresws. J he- Ehctress, by her own conduct, rtideavoured H set her un esatnpl « of patient forbearance-, but it was » 9 in vain ; and thongh she li^ d become the moth, r of the 1' riuce aiiil l'rineess, her domestic lite wa » spent in recrimination and contention with her hiifbaad when pie- sent, and id upbraiding* when absent. Her Uother- iu- Jnw, iW Prince Philip, pitied & or sitsiatiuh, and cosidnkd witJi lh! r ia all sn& rings. telle had found ir, his sympathy a comwUtion ntidet- • many oi her idilictioas'; but this Prince had » friend aud oonHdent. a Count Kou% stnjrk, who wa. s sofftetimes moployed ro carry mon- tages between tln- iii.

I'nder pretenco of preparing fol her escape into France, where it was intended she should seek an asylum for the present, Konigs- mark obtained frequent and secret interviews v ith the Princess. ' 1 lu- y vainly imagined that their jilans were secret, but the Edi- tor was master of the whole intrigue, and Konigsmark teceitfed » sudden order to quit the'Com and the capital, anji to join his mas- ter Philip ou the Hungarian ( rentier, lie prevailed upon the Princess to gfanfhim a parting intetvicw, at hour when it wa » supposed it might take place with impunity, and in tlie middle'' of the nit'lit he was admitted to her bcd- chamher to receive her letter* and dispatches for the amiable I'liilip. But as his raoveiMents had beeii carefully observed, he had no stumer entered that chamber, than the Elector was called, » nd in the rage of the siomehi. he sta - tioned two of the guards in the passiigc w tfe. h led frojn the Prin- cess's bed- chamber, with orders to dispatch the intruder as as bis- made his appearance. His orders Were but too wi'lS siwvd.: Konigsmark had scarcely left the presence of the IJuclW, v, hen a dagger was plunged into his heart, and Ids budy tossed infe the com- mon sewi r of the palade.
