Aberdeen, 17th June, 162t>. his name with that straight- forwardness and independence, in all si- tuations so praiseworthy, and which must ensure the respect even of those who do not consider such qualities as essential to the due performance qf public or parliamentary duties. " I am aware, that the opinions of men are various, as to the proper mode of evincing such feelings ; and 1 do not presume to censure those \ vho_ think or act. in either way, according to their own. honest conviction, however w idely they may difter from each other, . and from myself: but I think I may take the liberty of say- ing, that, in going through life, I have pursued as independent a line as any man j and my own honest opinion, founded < 5n experience aud observation, is, that a Member of Patliament, in order to be useful, must, to a certain extent,' attach himself to party, and, in many questions of expediency in government, surrender his judg- ment into the hands of those, who, besides the confidence uue to their superior talents and experience, • have ^ access t< » information which perhaps'cannot be. publicly promulgated. In doing, this, however, a man may sufficiently evince thef independence of his. principles, by occasionally differing from those with whom he acts, on matters, of local or even nationaj interest, and acting steadily and determinedly on such ojynions, when once deliberately formed. " This 1 conceive to be the description of parliamentary ccfriduct calculated to produce the most useful and satisfactory results, and such ][ conceive to have been the description of conduct pursued by (> ur late Representative— who, while he gave his support to an ad- ministration whose general measures he had every reason to approve, did not shrink from the most decided opposition to a favourite mea- sure of that Government, which he believed to be pregnant with ruinous and disastrous consequences, to this . part of the kingdom. This circumstance is of such recent occurrence, that I need hardly say I allude to the Currency question, upon which, and other mat- ters of local and general importance* the . conduct of our late Mem- ber has been equally honourable to himself, and advantageous to- us'all. " I might also a Ivert to the proposed change in the Corn Laws, a measure so vitally aifecting our national and local interests, and other measures of minor importance, which, while iu progress, have on all occasions been steadily and vigilantly watched by our late Member, and the results of his observations regularly communicated, where such communication could be of the smallest service to tin County. " In the situation in winch the County has done me the honour to place me, as Convener, I feel, myself particularly called upon to state these circumstances,; and feeling - that our late Member has, by his services, eminently deserved, and 1 trust fully obtained, the general confidence, I move, tliat the Hon.

MitS Tviixkx: ^ IK the end of February I went F. o Macclesfield fw the pifrpofe of faying a long- promised" vi^ it to my friend felie Rev. f) r. Duvies. At that time I had heard Mr. Turner's name mentioned, but mere- ly in casual conversation ab< r* » t Cheshire people ; and 1 had no more knwvledge or thought• his daughter, or any of his fam » h\ than 1 have of people tv- the moon. I will now state Uow 1 <; ma to think of her, antf to no \* hat I. have done. , Mr. Turner has lately purchased an estate near Macclesfield. TTpon this property he has built a house, into which, when I was in Cheshire, he was about to remove. He is Sheriff for the county this year. Mr. Turner, having, till the late purchase, been a Granger to tlie county, and having, ; is is said, made a very large fortune by trade, which he has discontinued, to become, all at once, what is called a ' country- gentleman,' it is not surprising that he should be an object of jealousy to the old established gentry, and of envy to the numerous manufacturers of the neighbourhood where be has settled. But, unless I had witnessed it, I never would have believed that those passions could exist to the extent in which I " found them preying upon the peaee of Mr. Turner's neighbours. A wi- h to obtain information respecting » the siik trade ( of which , " the distress" has of iaje been a subject of deep; interest at, Maccles- field) teif n1e into the company of these people, and particularly amongst some, whow hatred of the " new squire" seemed like the or It urn thetJoyicujir to be gre. it in proportion to the little different^' that exists between his station and theirs. This display '''"( which., probably, I never should have witnessed, unless'' the envy and jealousy' of Mr. Turner's " friends and aeqiidin- t- incW had b.- en iust then particularly excited by his preparations to " do honour," , is they saicj, " to the office of Sheriff,") - Was so new, and therefore so attuning to me, that I was led by a mere flow* of spirits, and the: want of some better occupation, to take pleasure in observing it, ahd afterwards, in exciting such piriuil sp. te, by rind- ing provoking answers to rhe many ill- natured stories ag'irtist Mr. Turner, of which such spite appeared to be the principal founda- tion. Of four*, amidst all the backbiting, Mr. Turn* 1 r's only daugh- ter was not*" forgotten.. She was described a-> ugly, ignorant, awk- ward, and vtjlg. ir. I was truly informed, however, that Miss Turner was a pretty, clever, tyw& ially . well- educ ited, high- spirited, and a most amiable girl ; and I was thus enabled to seize every opportunity of describing her in ail the colours of the rainbow. A good, listener must often contradict. The Macclesfield School for Scandal, and one Sir 11. Backbite in particular, found me an inappreciable audience for their a? lie sneers, tiilatlast my ejrs rung with Mi- s Turner's name,- and I became her champion, as well as her father's. Still 1 had no thought of in nrying her. I had sought and en- joyed the fun bf talking about her and her father,' because the people at Macclesfield would, with'the exception of the silk trade, talk About nothing, else ; and, as 1 have said before, because mv high spirits had no better employment; but. if 1 had left Macclesfield two clays sooner than 1 did, I should in a week have forgotten Miss Turner's name and all th. it concerns her, as completely as I now forget how and when it was that I learned the alphabet. But on one of the last days of my stay in Macclesfield, t heard a discussion as t<> whefher any " country gentleman" would accom- pany the High Sheriff Oh his way to the Chester Assizes. This dis- cus- ion" ended in the expression of a general opinion in the negative. My friend, Dr. Davies, who is one of the most noble- minded per- sons I know, was near me at the time. I asked him, with a look and manner that b? gged hiui to say '* Yes," whether he would join Mr. Turner's procession. lie answered, " Yes, that I will, if it is « » n1y to shew that I do not share these people's pitiful jealousy." Ood knows why !— I cannot tell— but I exclaimed, " So will I!" A thought, a wish, a determination just then entered my head. It was, that I would marry Mi* s Turner myself before the Chester Assizes, and get up such • escort for her father, as must have driven the most bilious of his detractors mad. Nothing could appear so preposterously extravagant. All I knew of Miss Turner was, thA she was at s^ hoofat Liverpool. I had no chance of meeting her. Meeting her, I had no chance of persuad- ing her to marrv me without her father's consent; and his consent ^ was out of the question, for I had made an appointment at Calais witbift six days from this time, and 1 would not allow any thing to . interfere with that engagement. " What folly ! what madness!" I exclaimed ; and yet J could not drive the crazy wish from my. head. 3 foresaw, that evegf though I should persuade Miss Turner to marry me, I should obtain not a rich heiress, hut a beggar ; for I knew that she had no ptfo|> erty in her own right, and I had heard enough of the, vi ndictiveness of . her father's temper to be almost certain that he wou!( i never forgive us. 1 thought of the passion of hatred to- wards myself th^ t would probably take possession of him, of the apparent impossibility of success, of the great danger of the attempt, of the worlds reproaches, and of every thing that would hive de- terred me, had I been in my senses, from committing the act of a madman. Still,. I haijf not entirely lost my senses ; for my determination to marry Miss Turner was clogged with three very reasonable con- ditions. Thev were, fir- t, that T should find her to be a sort of person whom I could love and cherish for her own- sake ; secondly, that I should bring her to believe that « he would be happy in marry- ing me ; and thirdly, that I would not use force, or the shallow of force, nor even put the slightest restraint upon her inclinations, in any part of the adventure. .• Ihre was a task ! To marry within three days a person of whom 1 kne\ j- so little, and whose knowledge of me must have been equally limited, and ( for this made the difficulties almost insurmountable), to beeorne pleaded with her, and making her pleased with me, even before proposing marriage to her ! The Apparent impossibility of the thing urged me on; and I pnrr f- aed i£ s exertion with reckless activity. \ formed and rejected plan after plan, till, at least, I decided on that which induced the schoolmistress to give me the opportunity 1 desired, of conversing With Mis* Turner. Afcy servaut, who was not above half in the secret, was so frighten- ed at the success of his own grave and unsuspicious deportment, that he made a capital blunder, by leaving me at Liverpool, and pro- ivemng with Miss Turner towards Shrigley. She was thirty miles before me on her way towards home, before I discovered that she ): ft< i left Li verpool. I followed of course, intending, had they reach- ed Shrigley, to drive there at once, and get my servant out of the Scrape at any rate. But fate had decreed that Miss Turner should wait at * hotel at M mobester, close to the house of one of her favourite ' uncle's, for more than two hours, without the sign of impatience. On reaching the inn, I introduced myself to her, not by telling her my name, nor indeed, any otherwise than by saying that the carriage would be ready iti a moment. I then taiked of the journey, of the vain, of a Curious clock which we could see from the inn win- dows, and indeed, of anything that might prevent her asking ques- tions for which 1 should have no answers. She was not in the least alarmed, but answered me cheerfullv and aptly upon every subject. In ten minutes the carriage was ready. She held my arm whilst I stood in the hail talking to a waiter, joined nie in wishing the landlady good day, and entered the * carriage amidst a crowd of idle gazers, whom my hurried arrival had collected round the inn. She had very often been at Manchester, and knew perfectly that the horses' heads were turned in an oppo- site direction to the road to Shrigley. When I entered the carriage, the wooden blinds were raised. I lowered them, fearing that such an appearance of concealment might excite curiosity ; and, after ' aiifing her if she had forgotten nothing, ordered the boys to drive on. The first thing I said to herein the carriage was, <• ' Do you know iohp you have been sent for from School ?"—" Yes,". she said, ' 44 Miw D.; ud> y told me, though she was desired not to tell me, that my mother is ill." I immediately assured her that this was not the cue ; that I hail reasons for deceiving Miss Daulby ; that Mrs. ' turner was,• Ihelieve quite well; and that she should have a lull explanation by arul by. She seemed gratified to learn that her mo- ! rher was not ill, and neither expressed, nor . shewed the slightest smiety < o know more. 1 then exi ted - every power of my mind to amuse and please her. i ' My great object was to draw her out; to see what sort of a mind the " had; to learn what had been her education ; and what were I h. r opinions, manners, and habits. 1 soon discovered ( wlut our subsequent close intimacy has fully i confirmed) that she has a vivid imagination, ami a judgment beyond ' her years. Why then, it may be asked, were- not hersuspicions excited? Because; I answer, her. imagination enabled me to dis- cover at once the subjects that interested her, and by turning that uiVovery to account, to make myself an object of interest to her : end she felt no . alarm in my company, because her judgment enabled h.-' r to see and " lev 1 the great pains that I took to treat her with the itdicate and respectful, yes tender kindness, that her extraordinary Situation d^ an< k'd. It musiTK; di- rficrrlt for any one to imagine what actually occurred ; but I assevCj that if she had been a fool ( as the newspapers have industriously represented her), she would probably have hesitated t>> continue the journey with me. As it was, not even a shadow of - j aUvlu, or even Of suspicion, ever crossed1 her mind. A state of hiifh excitement curbed my spirits to overflow. She wa* almost equally elated'. We taked and laughed incessantly.— Never in my life did I say so- much in the same tln » e. All subjects Vatu « t under. di*/ u$ sion— the gravest and the most ridiculous— the ! important and most triding. Iler quickness, imagination, and ! Vov^ i senv, astonished and delighted me. ' Instead of having to ' - h/ uij* my'conversation down to the capacity of an ordinary school ; f ii i, 1 found th'. j. t i could t ilk on, at random, and that she under- \ fatood every win d 1 said. She too, was - gratified to discover that I ; fjtjuyed her display of a natural wit a rut keen genso of• the ridiculous, j with which she is gifted. Mairiage^, it is said, are made in hea- J veu. Ours was made by-. the first two hoar* of our conversation, i It may be u- sked— if 1 had ftraml her ffgW, ignorant, and vulgar, 1 &< she hud, vniel' been deseribe< l to me, what should 1 have done? Mv mind was quite made up. I shc* dd have taken her back to ! Vive) pool, det- ir.' d The schoolmistivs* Vv » send iujmediatelv for Mr. Turner, . iiul lave left with'her-, j'ov hi. it, i paitial accoii- nS of my fi. aL— ur- hig iriin lo co'ie. al it lot hi> chiidV >. ik » . I hid ii « . t tiieitti^ ned marriage to her. As my motives Jur taking lier back would never have been Mnpected, M my motives lor taking In r > y \ C'ould never have been discovered. I intended to refuse all explanation upon the suhj. rtj beyond admitting an act of seem- ing folkf and in j » art describing what would lia^' e been considered an unfathomable mystery. I trusted to Mr. Turner's good sense to keep the secret. At all events, that was my intention. If she had felt al.. rmed, and had objected to travelling with me, I should have' made for Buxton, and shotdd have sent her home with the landlady of the Buxton Hotel. In this case, as my object in taking her away would have been suspected, I should neither have appeared nor have written ; and I hid, by many precautious, taken care to conceal the real actor in what won 1^ 1 have been called " an unsuccessluI attempt to run away with Miss Turner." Ihtt instead of having to fulfil either of these intentions, every thing ^ conspired to confirm my main resolution. No oite cau imagine the pains I took to know my future wife— and finding her, as I did, all that is delightful, how I strove to interest her, and to make her pleased with me. That I succeeded there can be no doubt; for when, having made up my mind to propose marriage to her, I asked her whether she knew where fchc was going ? Site said " No, but I suppose you do ? and I do not wish to be told. 1 rather enjoy the uncertainly." I iufitfmed her that she was going into Yorkshire, and that she would probably meet her father at lluddersfield. " Very well," she replied ; and she then reverted to the conversation which had been broken oft' by my question. This occurred after we had left Manchestei about three hours. As we proceeded we still talked incessantly, and often alluded to the strangeness of our situation. I gradually assumed towards her a manner which I cannot readily describe. It was not studied. It was perfectly natural. I behaved to her as Lwoold to a beloved sister, whom I had joined, afbr a separation from childhood, and whom my whole soul was bent upon pleasing— with careful reserve, and yet with rhe most affectionate frankness;—- with intimacy with- out familiarity, aud with the greatest, the. most marked and thoughtful kindness, but with no more tenderness than any man of feeling would display to a helpless woman, accidently placed under his sole protection.. She was, 1 suppose, pleased by ihi* manner of treating her. By what means I cannot tell further ; but that she was pleased I had soon ample proof. As we approached Huddersfield, I mentioned the possibility of our not meeting her father there, and of her hiving to travtrf on With me fill the following day. Now, her love for her father is unbounded, and forms, perhaps the moht marked trait of her character. Yet, as she has since often assured' me, she was agreeably disappointed at hearing that she might not see him so soon, and that she might continue to travel with me till the next day. Few will believe this, but it is strictly true ; audi know so well ber love of truth, and sense of justice, that lam sure she will confirm mv assertion. 1 am not such a coxcomb as to say that she was in love with me; but, as I was always delighted with her, who had taken no pains to please, :* he might well be pleased with me, who had spared none to captivate. I cannot explain this secret of her heart; but I state the fact, according to my belief and her assurance. On reaching lluddersfield, my supposition of h" r regret at the thought of our separation was confirmed by her high spirits whilst we were at an inn there— after I had told her that we had no chance of seeing her father till the next day. We staid an hour, 1 be- lieve, at the inn, where we ate, draiik, talked, laughed, and almost played, as if we had b en on a party of pleasure. It was then dark. She expected to travel alone with me all night; and she knew neither to what place ghe was going,' nor with what object so strange a journey had been undertaken. But she did continue the journey, not merely without a sign of hesita- tion, but with every mark of delight at orir incessant conversation, and the hurry anil excitement of the whole adventure. At Hali- fax, my servant, on whom fright and fatigue had brought a fit of the gout, Remained behind. Openly, and so that she must have heard me, but in French ( which, I did not then know, she per- foctly understaitds), I gave him orders to return to Loh& on. He asked me whether he should engage " family, rooms" for me in the Brunswick Hotel? lsaid " Yes; but dov not, tell anybody that I am married, and go to bed and stay in bed, ill or well, till you see me three days hence." This, I suspect, did partially open her eyes to my ultimate object; for soon afterwards, as I was talking to my brother, in French, about her, and the time when we might reach Scotland, she desiiv- d us not to " tell secrets'T in French, unless we wished her to understand them.. Be this as it may, we continued to travel through the night, oc- cupied as before with incessant conversation. H , r spirits never flagged for a moment. Every thing, almost, was converted into an excuse for laughing. The all but dangerous rapidity with which the Yorkshire postboys drove through the darkness; the significant requests of more than one landlady on the road, that we would honour tin • m with our company on our return ; my struggles, alter two sleepless nights, with an almost overpowering drowsiness; various petty accidents ; and the probability, ascertained during tin* night, that the carriage would break into pieces before day- light, ail furnished u* with reasons, or rather excuses, for being so ir. yrry, that any one who could have- seen and lu* trd us, mast have be- eu satisfied of the perfect good will of both parties to lose no tithe in reaching ( iretna Green. I, of course, continued to direct my whole attention to improv- ing her partiality for me, not merely by sharing and encouraging her joyous good humour, but also by entering into all her feelings, and by bestowing upon her such personal attentions anil caresses as, without being indelicate, or calculated to alarm her modesty, were an unequivocal declaration of my wishes and intentions. And I undoubtedly succeeded ; for, before we reached Kendal, she treat- ed me with all the affectionate confidence and gratifying intimacy that a cherished friend and admitted lover could have expected from her. At Kendal, aftei* breakfast, I was about to undeceive her, to explain the stratagem I lud used, in order to know her, and make myself known unto her, and to attempt, by a common course of fcupplication and argument, to persuade her to marry me. The devil reminded me that, besides the means of persuasion furnished by our already established intimacy, I had a very power- ful argument to use. She had passed one whole night with me ! And I could have urged that, for her own sake, she would do well to become my wife without delay.*- True it Was, that I had treat- ed her with the utmost delicacy, and her conscience would have been clear though she had not married me. But, then, there was an ill- natured world, which, knowing how much I had done, would never give me credit for any degree of forbearance, and would laugh at any saving declaration of mine, as the mere result of fear or repentance. The argument was, indeed, at least to a gentle- woman, tremendously powerful; but I felt an invincible repug- nance to using it. A romantic fit ( for which no stranger will give me either blame or credit) came upou me; aud under its influence, I dreaded to appear a brute in the eyes of this sweet girl, who was already so well inclined to like me, and whom, had 1 used that un- generous argument, J should have married by a means which pro- mised to insure for me her dislike, instead of the tender love that I then felt certain of inspiring her with. Still, what other chance hail I of obtaining her free, and full, and openly expressed approval of an immediate marriage ? liven though, as I half suspected, she should not in heart object to be- coming mine, she must, for tlte sake of her pride, have made ob- jections which I could not have answered ; and it therefore be- hoved me to furnish her with some excuse for yielding to my wishes. There was no time to lose. Whether or not I should use the un- generous argument, I had passed one night with her. I had gone too far to recede, if it were possible to advance by any means short of constraint. The ungenerous •; rou; n.' nt recurred to me continual- ly ; but I always repelled it, and sougl^ till my head ached for some other means of inducing and excusing her approval of an im- mediate marriage, without destroying her good opinion of me. [ To he concluded in our next. ] TO THE PEOPLE OF SCOTLAND, Th* Letter of a Committee of the General Assembly of the Churchy RELATIVE TO THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL. IN communication with you, Brethren, on this interesting sub- ject, we do not think it necessary to say a word for convincing yon of the obligation which Christians are under, to employ such means, as may promise to be successful, for imparting to others a know- ledge of the way of salvation through Christ ;— For that obliga- tion, so far as we know, has not been denied or called in question. Perhaps the utmost exertions of our forefathers were not more than sufficient for the work of their own emancipation from the er- rors and bondage of the Church of Home, and for establishing them selves and their posterity in the possession aud exercise of that " li- berty wherewith Christ hath made us free." But, from the time when we came into the world, we have enjoyed- lull security for our own rights and liberties in the kingdom of Christ upon earth; and we have also become so intimately acquainted with the deplor- able condition of more than one half of the human race, to whom the gliui tidings of salvation have never been made known, that we should be altogether inexeusable for any thing like indifference to their case. Measures have, in consequence, be? n adopted by religious com- munities of various denominations around us, and particularly by associations ofgood men in our own land, for imparting tlie light of the Gospel to those of our benighted brethren, to whom they can best and niost effectually find access- And the General As- sembly of our National Church, having felt that it became them, as a public and representative body, to take a, part in this pious and benevolent Work, have authorised us to apply to you for such con- tributions as may enable them to prosecute tlieir object, in away which, • through- divine grace, may proVe effectual. In performing the duty Which is thus assigned to us, we desire to speak to you with all plainness,— for we have nothing to conceal, — but \ viih> all- eariie& rness,;— for our whole hearts are er » ' ra » v. l us; lh.- cause witieh we undertake to advocate. And, wh^ thrr they, whom we addrefi « , be of the class who are and learned, or of the more numerous body who* in this respfct, make less preten- sion, we trust that, if they do but li- ten to us without prejudice, we shall not fail to; satisfy their minds that we have the strongest claim to their . aid and co- operation. To the measure in question there is but one objection which we can readily anticipate, It has been said, and, by some whom we address, it may still he thought— that what is proposed is imprac- tioable. Respecting the natives of India in particular, to whom, as our fellow- subjects, our labour of love may be regarded as pecu- liarly due, it has been asserted that their religious prejudices tire strong as to render any attempt to make them christians altogether hopeless. To this objection we may certainly reply— That their hearts are in the hand of God, who can change or . turn them, even as he turneth the rivers of water, and that it is, therefore, presumptu- ous to deny the possibility of their becoming a willing people in the day of his power.— But while, we know that nothing is impossible with God, we, at the same time, admit that he does not ordinari- ly execute his purposes without the intervention of natural means accommodated to the object in view ; and, consequently, the de- gree of hope which we are, in this case, warranted to entertain, must be more or { ess regulated by a consideration of existing cir- cumstances, and of all the difficulties which we have to surmount. It is, therefore, with a distinct reference to such difficulties, that we desire to meet the question— Whether an attempt to propa- gate the gospel in India be a hopeless task, or be, ou the contrary, a measure which has a fair promise of ultimate success. It has been asserted that, in this case, experience, in a great,' measure, forbids us to hope— for that great labour has been bes- towed, both by Popish aud Protestant Missionaries, without much' fruit being reaped from jt. Popish Missionaries may have failed of success, because they were not at liberty to employ that instrument for the propagation of the gospel, which seems to ibe the most natural. A late Papal Bull against Bible Societies leaves us in no doubt that they are pro- hibited from putting the Scriptures of truth mto - theharwls of those whom they would convert to the faith of Christ. Even to the education of t] ie, yonng they do. not appear . to have been well dispos- ed ; for they have, hitherto, had few schools of any description ia India. Yet it is to these means, as collateral aids to the preaching of the gospel that w& are in a great measure to trust lor the ac- complishment of our oliject. In the case of Protestant Missions, schools for the education of the young have become a regular' accompaniment of all the tither means pmplt) ye< i ; and, though it will require more time than has been, hitherto, afforded, to develope fully, to the public eye, the practical advantage of thi$ improved system, there are circumstances which well entitle us to expect from it the happiest results. The gospel of Cliri- t and its evidences are, no doubt, adapted to the capacities of all meu. But, though its leading truths may be both comprehended and received by any mind which makes a fail- use of its powers, it is- not less certain that they address themselves to the understanding, and that, in this case, a just exercise of the understanding is greatly facilitated by the removal of those preju- dices against pure and < undefiled religion, which are encouraged by idolatry in all its bearings ; nor can it be doubted that an educa- tion, calculated to enfightea and invigorate the mind, is au im- portant mean of promoting this blessed effect. It will, accordingly, be seeh, from the General Assembly's plan of procedure ( of which a cgpy is hereto annexed) that schools for the education of the young form a great part of their more'immediate object; and it becomes, in consequence, an interesting, though subordinate, question— Whether in this department we may hope for success? To this question we cannot hesitate to answer in the affirmative. But, in proceeding to state grounds of our opinion, we feel that there is a strong call for caution and delicacy in weighing both tjie import and. the warrant of every word which we shall employ. Our opi- nion must be founded on facts and circumstances, with which very few, either of our own number, or of those whom we address, have the advantage of being personally acquainted. We therefore de- sire fo keep in mind the possibility that such tilings may be misre- presented— and, for that reason, will make no material averment, which is not verified, either in its minute or its itiore general im « - port, by evidence bf such a kind, as cannot be rejected, upon any principle that would not go far to put an end to Delief founded upon testimony. We shall even be scrupulous of resting upon the evi- dence of Missionaries themselves, where it is * not corroborated by other testimony— not Itecause. we doubt their title to credit— but because it is possible that some of those whom we address may re- gard their testimony as partial, in respect of their being deeply committed in the cause to which it relates. Under this pledge we desire to assure you that the natives of India'. shew themselves willing to have their chsldre. n educated by teachers from our land, in all that cau tend to the cultivation of their minds.' ' That many schools, under European tuition, are already esta- blished in India,—- Xhat the children attending them are propor- tionally numerous,— That they receive,, in these schools, an edu- cation very nearly similar to what is imparted to- people of the Same rank or eonditiou in our own land,— And that tiny appear to pro- fit in a eorre* pott, diug degree by the education which they receive,— | are facts attested . by such a variety of consistent evidence as seems to us to forbid their being called in question. And, though nothing more particular could be stated, we should conceive it to be Out of doubt that the youth of India may be educated to that important effect which alone we have in view. But we wiU not withhold from: you the satisfaction of reading a passage upon this subject, from the Fifth Report of the Calcutta School- Book Society, (" established in 1817,) because it Seems very nearly impossible that what is there asserted,-— if it had at all ad4 mitted of contradiction,— should have been published under the im- mediate eye of of tiiose who knew the whole truth—" Among the advantage now possessed ( says the Report) this will strike, the friends of general education with th? sincerest pleasure that ( ample time having been allowed for the experiment) European teaching is found to be highly acceptable to the natives. What was before speculation is now matter of fact. It is no longer doubtful whe- ther the natives will receive help from us; it is ascertained that they gladly avail themselves of our aid ; they flock to the schools ; they advance in their learning ; they prove, to a demonstrat ion, that, if the European will condescend to labour for their good, the native will gladly receive the aid offered." So far as regards the hearty concurrence of the natives, this evi- dence may even be regarded as stronger than it appears at first view — when it is considered that, among the Members and Directors of that School- Book Society, ( the language of which we have quoted) iio inconsiderable number are themselves natives, labouiing along with their European brethren, for the good of the ignorant and un- educated. For this fact we are indebted to a History o/ Calcutta Institutions, lately published bv Charles Lushington, Esq. one of the Secretaries of Government at Calcutta;*— And, with two more facts derived from the same source, we would seal the evi- dence of the spirit which thus prevails among the natives.—- Mr. Lushington informs us ( p. 45) that a rich native of Benares had himself established a school, and engaged to allow 200 rupees per month for its support, but had died without executing the neces- sary deeds of trust to the Committee of the Church ' Missionary So- ciety, and that his son had spontaneously confirmed his father's en- dowment, by making over, to the Committee, landed property suffi- cient to cover the disbursement. He also acquaints us ( p. 165) that even the native Princes of India begin to be favourably, dispos- ed towards this great work." Two of them, ( he informs us) have effectually manifested their approbation of it, by liberal donations to the Calcutta School- Book Society. It. was stoutly maintained that, in India, the education of the Female Sex, in particular, was'altogether a visionary project.— Vet experience has made it evident that, in that country, just as much as elsewhere, this portion of the human race may receive all the education which it is our wish to impart to tlietu. The suc- cess of those who lahotu ed in tiiU department*- has even led tt> the' t^ t; ib! i « hnient- of a swk'ty, under the patronage of the Lady of the Governor- General, for the special purpose of female education ; and our confidence in all the details which have reaehed us, on fnis sub- ject, is much enhanced by the peculiar- circumstance which we for- merly noted— That these details have been published— not in out- own country, or in Europe, where an imposition might, for a time, have been practised— but in the very midst of the people who have witnessed the procedure, and upon whose minds, therefore, a gross imposition would not l* e attempted. But, while the native youth of both sexes appear more than wil- ling to receive the elements of general education, it is peculiarly gra- tifying to know that the object of their most eager desire is the ac- quisition of the English language.— Of all the auxiliary means, that we can imagine, of preparing their minds for the faith of the gos- , pel, aud of permanently establishing the Redeemer's kingdom in the eastern world, this appears to us the most likely to prove efficient. ( Not only will our language prove a key by which they may find ad- Mission to those treasures of knowledge, fey which they can be so advanced in the scale of intellectual improvement as to be ashamed of their idolatrous rites— they will find, more particularly, in the English version of the Sacred Scriptures, a standard to which they can at all times resort-— to which even future generations may re- sort— for correcting such errors as may have been unavoidably conir mitted in any of the recent translations of the Bible into. Eastern languages. , . It may perhaps be theught that, after all, the advantage gained by such education, affords, at the be& t, but a very distant promise of accomplishing our great object, because, in all that has been said, we have made no reference to direct and immediate instruc- tion in those things which are spiritual and ( fryitie. Upon' this point, we are not willing to leave entirely out of view that, if our labour serve to promote even the temporal and world- ly prosperity of our fellow- men, it must not be regarded as altoge- ther vain. But let it not be supjtosed that the promiseof more precious fruit is either very doubtful, or very distant, - in its present aspect.

But th. it> which authority j^ WuiTd neyer hav^' accomjilished, lias been in a great measure effected by more honourable means. The extraordinary exertions, which have been lately made, to educate the children of native parents, m. a way calculated to promote their temporal prosperity, have so en- gaged the confidence of tho^ e concerned, as Co remove the scruples of many about the Christian Scriptures being employed as a school* ' book ; and the indiscriminate avidity of the youth themselves to learn our language effectually reconciles them to the use of every extract from the Bible, and every reliv'^.' is tract, that are presented to them in English. The conseq vftce. is that the Scriptures and other religious books are now introduced in a great majority of the schools; portions of Scripture are committed to memory ; and some of the children^ when examined, lmve evinced - a familiar knowledge of the Gdspel History. Is it possible that these exercises and these acquisitions should have no el lee t in preparing their minds to listen, with more advantage, to those who shall preach to them the faith of the Gospel ? If what is asserted be true ( and v/ e know no reason for doubting its truth) that, already, there are at least 40,000 native children receiving instruction in the various schools established by Protestants in India,-—- What an earnest is this of the good whi'ch may result from continued and persevering labour in the same pious and bene- volent work ! The benefit already in the course of being imparted to such a number of our fellow- creatures, who, in common with ourselves,' have souls to be saved', will not, we " are convinced, be lightly thought of bv those whom we address. Vet what are 40,000, compared to the whole number of native children in the British provinces of India ! - Millions instead of thousands are waiting for theTioon, which you, along with others, have it in your power to bestow. The field for cultivation seems, in this view, inexhaustible ;— and, yet, there are circumstances tending t.> encourage fa hope that, within a shorter period than our minds could otherwise ima- gine, it may be, in all its- borders brought to yield precious fruit* For, the system of education adopted, embraces one object which tends to enlarge and multiply its powers in a degree that is incalcu- lable. Besides the schools which are intended for the instruction of the grea. t mass of society, there are Seminaries of Education for a more select number, who may there be qualified to becTfnne the future teachers of their countrymen, not only in the arts and sciences of the civilized world, but in the things which belong to their everlasting welfare. Without such institutions, it is obvious that not only the propagation, but tlie maintenance, of the Gospel in India would be for ever dependent on such foreign aid, as could be very little adequate to. the - extent of the work. B* it by the insiitu- . tion, and progressive multiplication, of such • seminaries of leaguing as those to which we now refer, it is impossible to say with what rapidity the great work of education may ere long proceed^— or, how soon a great spiritual harvest, may, under the blessing of God, be reaped, by the establishment of the Redeemer's kingdom over the extensive regions of Asia. Yet let it not be inferred, from our helving said so much about schools and other seminaries of education, that we, for a moment, lose sight of the more direct means of accomplishing our object, by the Preaching of tile Gospel to the Heathen world. We have been anxious to develope the importance of the auxiliary instrument which we mean to employ, that the prospect of benefit resulting from it might be more clqavly discerned ; but it is, in subserviency to the success of preaching, that we would, in this case, devote our labour to the education of the young. : By reference to the plan of procedure, which has already received fhe sanction of the Gene- ral Assembly, . it will be seen that the Head master of the very first seminary of learning, which it is proposed to establish, is to be an Ordained Minister of our National Church, with a ' view to his both preaching to the natives, anil circulating, among them, Religious Tracts, illustrative of the import and the evidences of our Chris- tian . faith. Nor is this to be regarded as any thing more than the commencement of a plan for religious instruction, which is to be gradually enlarged, in proportion as the requisite funds are supplied, and opportunities of usefulness are multiplied.

THE SHIPOWNERS WITH MR. 11U SKIS SON. A deputation from the Liverpool Shipowners' Association wait- ed, on Friday last, upon Mr. Huskissian, for the purpose of laying before him their views with regard'to the recent regulations respect- ing foreign shipping. It is maintained by the associatiou, that the modern policy introduced by that Ilight lion. Geutleman, v/ hieh approaches almost to the abolition of the old navigation law, cannot fail to, be injurious to the interests of British shipowners, inasmuch as the cost of an English built vessel is double that of a ship con- structed in the ports of northern Europe ; and the expences of navi- gation amount to ( three times the cost of sailing a foreign vessel. On these grounds the deputation laid their case before Mr. llus- kisson. We understand, that whilst Mr. Iluskisson admitted that, under the present system of the country, the British shipowners must ne- cessarily labour under au apparent , disadvantage, he regretted that it was quite impossible to hold out any, expectation, that the recent ' measures of the Government could be rescinded or qualified so as to meet the immediate wishes of the deputation. Those measures,, he stated, had not been voluntary adopted by Ministers, but might be said rather to have forced themselves upon the country: If Great Britain had persisted in a rigid adherence to her old restrict ive system, the other, nations of Europe were quite prepared to retaliate upon her, by imposing heavy charges upon English vessels entering their ports, and also by levying exorbitant duties upon any goods carried thither in British bottoms. Were the Govift'oment now to depart from the principle of open trade which they felt themselves obliged to resort to, and to try the experiment of going back once, more to the ancient system of the country, the effect would be, that all the ports of Eurspe would be virtually closed against us, arid we should very quickly be forced, as we have already been, to extend to the shipping of foreign countiies the principle of equaliza- tion aud reciprocity. - Whilst, however, Mr. Huskisson felt bound to say that the Bri- tish shipowner did labour under the disadvantage of having to navi- gate bis vessel at a much higher charge than the foreigner, he thought that the disproportion which existed had been greatly overrated ; and he trusted, that the superior skill and dispatch which characterized the management of British vessels, and their known superiority over the shijw of foreign states, aided by the re- putation for mercantile respectability, and for punctuality in the dis- charge'of liis engagements, which distinguished the British ship- owner, would enable him to overcome some of the difficulties which are at present opposed to him. lie also trusted, that a wide field would, ere long, be opened for the employment of shipping gene- rally, in the carrying of corn, and in the additional impulse which would be given to our manufacturing power, by a free trade in that prime article of human subsistence, regulated, of course, by- the: imposition of a duty, when imported into this country, sufficient to protect the just interest of the British gr » w. er « Whatever could be done by the Government, to relieve British shipping from any of those fiscal charges which now press upon if, Air. Huskisson de- clared his readiness to elfe « £, so far as ifc was possible to do it con- sistently with- a due regard to the state of . the " general revenue whieh, he ohse? ved, had latterly been a good deal encroached upon, by the repeal of duties on taxes, during the last tew- years, lie re- quested the deputation to submit to him in writing their detailed . opinions with regard to the mode in which any such direct relief could be afforded, assuring them that those opinions should receive hifc immediate and earnest attention, and adding,- that he entertained no feeling connected with the welfare and prosperity of Great Bri- tain, stronger than the desire to see the shipping interest flourish, and the maritime greatness of the kingdom preserved unimpaired.-— Liverpool Advertiser.

NORTHUMBERLAND.— Lord I- Iowick and Messrs. Bell, Liddell, and Beaumont, are candidates to represent this county. At a meeting of the freeholders at Morpeth, on Tuesday week, Mr. Lambton warmly opposed the latter gentleman. Our grounds, he said, " for opposing fhe return of Mr. Beaumont, rest upon the allegations of Mr. Beaumont himself. He. has himself publicly con- nected private transactions with the non- performance of public duties. He" publicly stated, * that he had returned to England in order to discharge'his duties in Parliament, but hadiound that re- ports concerning him had gained credit, which rendered him unfit for acting as their representative ; that he must therefore decline any farther attendance in the House of Commons until he was able to repel the infamous allegations which had been urged against liim.* These are the identical words of bis' address to the couuty on the 19th January, - 1884-. " Did be ever explain those charges? Did he attend his duties in Parliament ? ( A cry of " Never, never," I therefore call upou him to state to the freeholders at large why- he never discharged those duties." To this call Mr. Beaumont re- plied :—" Why h ive I forfeited the confidence of the Whig gentry of the county ? 1 know of no reason in the world, but that I have- had a private quarrel with two of the leading Whig gentry, and. that the others, without knowing my case, have chosen to tack themselves to their heels. 1 will pledge my existence that my caao is not known to any one of them," Various; unfounded rumours having obtained circulation, in rt- latiou to the recent attack upon the private conduct of Mr. Beau- nipnt, at the lute nomination for Northumberland, a morning paper has set conjecture at rest, by asserting that it relates to a courtship with the daughter of a baronet in that county, which he has thought to have unhandsomely relinquished. • • State of the first day's poll: f Hon.

Mr. Bercsford - addressed the electors, at considerable- length, and was heard with approbation, whilst all attempts ou the. part of Mr.. Gladstone, to- obtaiu a hearing proved fruitless, his voice being drowned by hisses, and loud cries for " Blake, Blake."—• Sir Francis made several addresses, and was received throughout with unbounded applause. The newly elected Members Were chaired, but so great was the opposition and tumult experiences! by Mr. Gladstone's friends, that that gentleman was frequently in considerable danger, and the Ceremony was made as short aa possible. Delegates have now been appointed by the east coast borouglw, to clmse a Member of Parliament, on the 3d July next. The candidates, Mr. Balfour and the Lord Advocate have two boroughs each out of the five; The t\ Vo sets of Magistrates of Pit'tenweeia have each chosen a delegate— One party supporting the- JLo/ « i ibivpr. cate, the other, Mr. Balfotls. Whiuh of - bs parli^ . Lgye- the . power, is a question for often discussion. The re- election of Sir George Murray to the representation xif the county of Perth, took place ou Tuesday, and proved, as waa, - anticipated, unanimous.

During his ahse&'. e, a burgess ticket was made oat, and presented to him, / Not being at all aware of this mark of honour, Mr. Hume, in re- turning thanks, evidently laboured Uuder a certain degree of em- ^ harrasssnent. In the course off the afternoon, however,' on- h"*' health being drank aa a Member of l* krliuiiK> nt,, he was quite at ease, and pe/ fectU" in bin. element.

SIR-— I address this lettef to you AS Presei of the Meeting of Freeholders, assembled for the election of. a representative for the rounty of I. anarfe ; and 1 need'not add, that I should not write if it were in my power to be present, in the first place, I beg to re- turn my sincere and hearty thanks to all the Freeholders, w ho may have attended upon this occasion— and to express my keen regrets, that my only absence from such a meeting should occur at a time when i grri flittered with the prospect of unanimous support. After . what I have said in my published address, it will be superfluous to dwell now upon my principles, or past conduct; and writing, as I . jo, in ignorance of what may have p. rsed at the Meeting— and also of what may be the present impression of the county, as to public measures, prospectively, I l'.' el quite incapable of selecting for notice, in this letter,' stich topics as might have most interest with yourselves, and also be most appropriate to the occasion. I shall, therefore, confine myself to one point, which is, in itself, of para- mount importance, but derives additional importance, in the present jjiiie, from the state of distress which now pervades a large portion of the ctrtintv— ami. from the certainty that, in a few months, it will be made the subject of Parliamentary investigation. You mil immediately perceive that I aBude to the Corn Laws. It must be obvious to the Freeholders that the extensive county of Lanark in- cludes within itself a large number of growers of corn, and also of that class of consumers, who may be termed manufacturing, opera- tives. Unfortunately, the interests of these two classes are, some- times, regarded by each other as very much at variance. It Will be off duty, if I am elected to the ensuing Parliament, to consider, and to promote, as far as I can, the interests of both. It has been my lot to present to the House of Commons petitions, very numerous- ly and respectably signed, for the introduction of foreign grain, for the avowed purpose of reducing the price of the home grown article; and to hear complaints, at the same time, from the agriculturists of ' the country, that they, were already suffering from the cheapness of grain— the article of ' their manufacture. ' Tis on such occasions that a Munber of Parliament, - who wishes to do justice to those he represents, as well as to those who elect him, becomes anxious to hive his own judgment assisted by bis constituents. This subject is really the gordian knot of the present time. It involves to the agriculturist the valtu; ol" his property,- to the manufacturer the cost of his, substance— to all it involves the peace of society. My own opinion is ( and I derive much consolation from the impression), that the permanent interests ot these two classes are not irrecon- cilable. Before I am called upon to vote on this important ques- tion, I shall ha m'ost happy to receive from you any suggestions which your observation, or your experience, or the recent distress in the county, may enable you to afford; and be assured, that on this, and all other subjects, involving the interests, the peace, and • prosperity of the county, I shall always ghe to such suggestion the most attentive consideration, and also that weight to which they are so justly entitled. I have the honour to remain, & c. ( Signed) ARCHD. HAMILTON. The letter being read, Sir Henry Steuart moved that the thanks nf the meeting should be given to Lord A. Hamilton for his general conduct in Parliament, and his steady and uniform attention to the interests" of the county of Lanark ; and also, that the letter be in- serted in the minutes. This motion was unanimously carried, and the meeting broke up. LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.— A General Meeting of this Society Wis held on Wednesday night, to receive the tenth quarterly report. Dr. Birkbeck, the President, was in the chair; and. the members filled nearly the large theatre of the institution. The report . described what had been done for the institution since the last meeting. The receipts were £ 506 ; the expense £ 525 ; . upwards of £ 100 of which, however, were paid for charges not incurred above once in twenty years. The library now consists of 2500 volumes. Siuce the last quarter day, 574 members have been, added, and 397 have ceased to belong to the Society, making ' an increase on the quarter of 177, the whole number of members being 1772. Thanks were voted to the Lecturers, and to the ' Chairmani with great applause, for the inter : st they had taken in the welfare of the institution. CORN LAWS AND CATHOLIC QUESTION. Extract from Mr Brougham's Speech to his Frieruls at Kendal. The principal questions which bad arrested the attention of Par- ' liament during the last session, and which were likely to attract its notice in tire ensuing session, were the Corn Laws, and what was ' generally called the Catholic Question. On each of these questions he should wish to p « y a word or two to them on the present occa- sion. And first of the corn laws. He believed that the time was fullv'come, if, indeed, it had not arrived before, in which the wholiexisting system of the corn laws must be repealed, and ano- ther and a better « yatem be adapted in its stead— by which all the ports of therealm should lie thrown open to the reception of corn from every country in the world, under a protecting duty equal to the excess of taxation paid by the British over that paid by the foreign grower. By such a measure that fluctuation in prices which ' was now so constantly felt by all classes would be avoided, aud such a Supply of corn would be poured into the country as would render ' the Chances of famine almost impossible.—( Great cheering.) On the Catholic question there was scarcely any absurdity which had hot been attributed to them by those who, he thought, knew better than to believe the stories which they propagated, or who, if they did kaow better, ought to be ' ashamed of their ignorance and cre- dulity. They had been styled enemies of the Protestant Church, subverters of the Protestant ascendancy, and various other titles, tfhi'eh it was not worth while to fatigue them by enumerating. Tlleir adversaries had gone all lengths in the abuse which they had poured'upon them—. they had not, indeed, yet ventured to call tlienl Catholics ( A laugh) tr— at least, lie believed not, but he could not tell whether they might not lay even that charge at their doors be- fore the contest was ended. It had almost been said that they were - aniious to establish Popery agaiu in this Kingdom, and to bring • over to it the Pope himself, ' ji'ow, to this latter proposition he • did not see any great objection,"' as the evil of the measure was well calculated to cure itself/ Ofthe^ Pope, whom he did not hold ill • any high esteem, he and other good Protectants knew absolutely nothing— indeed he recognised, him only in the character of Bishop • of Rome.- Now, if he came to this country, he must belong, he supposed, to one or other house of the Legislature ; and as he was a Bishop to all intents aud purposes, he would naturally enough take his seat upon the episcopal bench. The consequence would be that he would imitate the conduct of his brother Bishops, and after calling as loudly as some of them had done, before their elevation to the mitre, fir Catholic emancipation— and his Holiness himself . could scarcely have called louder—- he would conclude by swelling the outcry which had been raised, and would gladly join with them in setting up the yell of " No Popery." ( Cheers and laughter.) The subject was, however, one that he was almost ashamed to treat with levity. Surely every man was entitled to worship God as he '. thought fitting, was not to he visited with civil disabilities on ac- count of the religious opinions which he sincerely and honestly main- tained. He contended that the Catholics were entitled, not only ill point of justice, but also in point of expediency, to a restoration of those privileges of which the policy of the state had formerly de- prived them. They might, perhaps, despise the claims of the Ca- tholics of England, who formed but a very trifling portion of the popidation - but could they do so with safety in Ireland, where the po- pulation consisted of 6,000,000 of Catholics, and of only 1,000,000 of Protestants ? It was hard enough that those 0,000,000 of men should pav taxes to a clrurah from wKU ® ' they received no benefit, . and by which only one- half of the Protestant community was bene- . titeil ; for the other half million of Protestants were Dissenters from the Established Church— it was hard enough, he said, that they , should pay a large amount of taxes in this manner, without their lieiug deprived of those rights and privileges to which the minority . of their countrymen were entitled. He reminded the meeting, that almost every great statesman of modern times had wished to rescue their Catholic fellqjw- subjects from the degradation in which their civil disabilities had involved them, Mr. Burke, Mr. Pitt, and Mr. Windham, had, one and . all, advocated the cause of religious freedom. Indeed, Mr. Pitt bad absolutely given up office because he could not carry the eman- cipation of the Catholics. Was Mr. Burke— was Mr. Pitt— was . Mr. Windham, the enemy of the Protestant Church? Would any tuauin his senses declare that he believed that they intended to overthrow our Protestant Constitution? Nay, more, the cause of emancipation was supported by more than one halt' of the present . Administration, and, that half the one which was the most res- pectjbie^ in point of talent, as it was the most popular in point of public esteem. Would any man say that they wished to overthrow the. Protestant Establishment, and to wtublish Popery upon its miiis ?—( Cheers.)— Que fact was often worth a thousand argu- ments ; and he would therefore mention a circumstance which was decisive' as to the sincerity of their present antagonists. They would all recollect that, the Administration of I807 brought in a . bill for the purpose of putting the Catholics on the same footing with other Dissenters from tlu> Church of Englaud. His late Ma- }< wty took exception . at the firm manner in which they supported the policy and justice ot the measure in question, and, in conse- quence of that, they gave up 01111*, and were succeeded by an Administration which came in upon the cry of " No Popery," w hich Was raised in a much higher degree throughout the country than it was at present. And yet that Administration, coming in nodeii such acrv in > 80.7, proposed and carried in JSI7, that every measure for which their opponents had sacrificed their places, and that, too, under circumstances, which showed tiie candour anil liberality of that party in a most exemplary manner ; for they uevcr even taunted t he Ministry, on any discussion of the meastire, with having carried that measure swressMly, which, when they . bad introduced it, had been used as an engine to derive them of the confidence of S.. v.- i lie cuu:.- uded, that in such a C. J « P. the) might fairly-' ay aside all fears as to the/' or: ^ quence „ of J Catholic Kmaneipation. lie was bound iii charity tv give every man credit for being sincere in. the apprehensions which he stated himself to - feel; but he must say, that it often demanded all his charity to induce him to believe that some individuals did not exaggerate their apprehensions of mischief from Catholic Emancipa- tion for their own purposes. ' He had thought it right tdspeak out thus openly his known and declared sentiments on the ttvo impor- tant subjects of the Corn Laws and the Catholic Question, lest he should be taunted hereafter with having endeavoured to conceal them from the electors of Westmorland. VMittk$* LETTERSfroik ENGLISH SETTLERS at RIO DE LA PLATA. PEAR CHARLES— I write tliis on my way to the Entre Rios, having in charge a party of men, two of whom belong to me, and the others go on account of the Company ; so I am in hopes of get- ting a good house built before the rest of the settlers come, which, I am afraid, will not be immediately, as the Brazilians have blockad- ed the river. On the 9th of February, there was an engagement, which we plainly saw from Buenos Ayres; but the Buenos- Ayrians after a tight of four hours, were obliged to run in. I can get a commission here without any trouble ; but the Association behaves in so very liberal a manner, that I should be great fool to leave them. Mr. Jones, the agent here, is a most respectable man, and he gives ine every assistance. lie lias given mo seven hundred dollars to take, the men and myself to the settlement. I can now say what I know will greatly gratify you, my dear brother, that I never felt so happy nor so independent in the whole course of my life. Speaking a little of the language, I buy the bread, beef, & c. for them, and could make'money, but I think it best to charge no more than they . ' cost.' I often think, when several of the passengers who have been discharged from the Association are doing all they can to make the people discontented, on the anxious life I spent for the last twelve months in England. The passengers have behaved so ill to Mr. ' Beaumont, that 1 doubt whether he will send another ship out from London, or else, Charles, I would not hesitate one moment incom- ing here if I were you. Those who have been discharged from the Association are determined to send to England the, grossest false- hoods ; now, if you see any thing of it in the Papers, I wish you would go to Mr. Beaumont and have it contradicted, for we are treated in tha giost liberal manner ; mtteiv more so than I could ever expect; and they are all perfectly Satisfied, except six or seven, who think a pint of wine per day not enough for'them. If persons i( i England could only, see the liberal manner we are treated, I think few of the middle class would stop in England ; but, if I go on any more in praise of the Association, my paper will be filled, so all that I will say more is, that I never was so happy in my life, nor treated so liberally.— I am, See. Feb. 24., 182G. FRED. TAYLOR. SIR— Do not encourage any further emigration to this country, until the war with Brazil . is over, at any rate. The Government, in their present difficulties and exhausted state of funds, have it not in their power to assist them, in any way, a3 every farthing they have has been expended in fitting out a squadron. The Dutch emigrants, who were sent into Monte Video by the Brazilians, are actually starving, and it is said that disease has much diminished their numbers. Two hundred French emigrants have been sent out of the River Plata by the Brazilian blockading squadron. _ The emigrants sent by the Rio Plata Agricultural Association have ar- rived safe in Buenos Ayres, and are well taken care of ; but it is at an enormous ex pence, and here they remain doing nothing. How they are to get to their settlement I know not. The blockade is the ruin of every thing in this country.— I am, & c. Buenos Ayres, March 15, 1826. " II. L. J." Other letters describe the blockade of the River Plata as having destroyed the rising commercial prosperity of Buenos Ayres and its independencies. The high roads in that country are the rivers, and these are completely in the hands of the " Brazilians. The- com- munication from one place to another is thus cut off, and the usual supply of flour, liquor, spirits, tobacco, and other foreign produce, is wholly excluded. The consequence is, that foreign goods have risen to three or four times their former value, and living is now twice as dear at Buenos Ayres as at London. The war is said to have been rashly provoked, without any preparations having been made for carrying it on, or forethought for its consequences. THE LATK DERBY STAKES. ( OFFICIAL.) We are authorised to publish the following Report, which was presented at a General Meeting of the Jockey Club, held at the Clarendon Hotel, on Saturday the 17th instant, and approved by the Members present: — r- " The Committee appointed to inquire into the charges made bv Mr. Farquharson, upon the subject of Mr. ThornhiH's horse The General, with reference to the last Derby Stakes, have to report, that— " They have heard the evidence brought forward by Mr. Far- quharson, aud also that which WBS produced by Mr. Thornhill, in answer thereto, and in explanation of the several matters contained in the statement delivered in to the Jockey Club by Mr. Farquha^ son, w'heh called upon so to do by Mr. Thornhill; and they are unanimously of opinion, that Mr. Farquharson has entirely failed in proving any part of that statement. - ( Signed) " CHR. WILSON, " EXETER, " SCOTT PORTLAND, " J. A. STUART WORTLEY, " J. R. UDNY." Tmprovisazione.— A distinguished improvisator is lately arrived in London. Signor- Giannone, of Modena, is one of the victims of that paternal government which the petty tyrants of Italy dispense to their subjects • In the beginning of the year 1821, a few copies of the celebrated patriotic hymn, " Sei pur bella con gli - astri Sul~ evine," in which Signor Rossetti, who is now in London, so feli- citously hailed the dawning liberty of Naples, found their way into Modena. The government of Modena, on the bare suspicion that Signor Giannone was the author, threw him into prison, where he endured the , most dreadful sufferings and privations. He was at the same time assailed by every means of intimidation or allurement which could induce him to confess his supposed crime, and to be- tray the secrets of a political society to which he was supposed to belong. After eight months of continued torments and temptations, which he supported with admirable constancy, the t ribunals of Mo- dena decreed that he should be set at liberty— in spite of this the Government detained him two months longer in prison, and on re- leasing him intimated to him that he had better quit the territory of Modena as soon as possible. Signor Giannone bent to the resist- less arguments of arbitrary power, and left his country ; the Go- vernment, however, repenting at having suffered its pyey to es- cape from its grasp, dispatched a band of its agents, who pursued him even into the territory of Parma. Fortunately he received timely intimation of the danger which awaited him, and assisted by some frie- nds, escaped in safety to France. The Kterary world of Paris were several times witnesses to the display of hisr power of improvisation, which excited the most flattering applause. He is about to submit his talents as an improvisator to the judg- ment of a ' London audience to- morrow. - We see \ vith great plea- sure that Madame. Pasta, who unites the most obliging courtesy,' and the strongest attachment to her country, to the other rare and exquisito gifts for which she is generally known and admired, has offered to contribute her assistance to this morning entertainment, when she will be supported by several of the most distinguished singers in London. ' WEBER.— This illustrious composer was invited to dine with Mr. L. the music- seller, whose residence and establishment are of a very handsowe description. On entering the noble drawing- room, the quiet German opened his eyes, and looking round him, said softly, a* s if to hitfiself, " I see it is better to sell music than to write it." Front hen- letters- it appears, that the wife of Yon Weber is of opinion that he has been but if! recompensed ; he is said to have got about 1000/ vby his visit to England, viz. 500for hi* Oberon, and about 50t> 2. for superintendance at " rehearsals^ and private; concerts.

The Westchester Herald, received thU morning, states, that a " destructive and wide spreading conflagra- tion has been rising since Thursday last, in J; he elevated . forests situated some distance north of HaVcrstraw. mountains. The ex- tent of the fire cannot be accurately defined at present, but it has spread apparently several miles; nor- is it yet known how it origi- nated.

Vice- Admiral Sir Henry Neale has transmitted to John Wilson Croker, Esq. a letter from Captain Hamilton' of his Majesty's ship Cambrian, inclosing a report from Captain George Hope Johnstone of his Majesty's sloop Alacrity, of the destruction of four piratical vessels, on the 9th and 10th April last, under the Greek islands of Ipsara and Andros. The Alacrity having left Smyrna Bay on the 6th of April, was passing the island of Ipsara on the morning, of the 9 th, when twp misticoes, deceived by the manner in which Captain Hope Johnstone had disguised her, being a brig of war, came out from under An- tipsera, and gave chace to her. The Captain allowed them to near the Alacrity, • but when within about two miles of her, they dis- covered that she was a vessel of war, and did their utmost to get away with sweeps and sails. The Alacrity made sail to cut them off; and the boats were sent in chace of them, under the orders of Lieutenant Triscott, first of the Alacrity. After pulling niore than thirteen miles, the boats forced the pirates to ground their. vessels, and to fly on shore in Ipsara Mole, where they took up'a position in front of some ruined houses near the MoleA The pirates were about fifty in number, more than double the number of ilie Alacrity's party \ and on being asked to send their Leader to the Commander of the boats, they answered with a volley winch was pwwnpt- ly returned from the boats ; Lieutenant TriseWf, with Ins Officers and men, then leaped on shore, and the pirates fled, availing them- selves of the shelter of- the houses to escape to the halls. Theboats returned to the- Alacrity, bringing with them the two misticoes, which Captain Hope Johnstone caused to be burnt and scuttled, and two prisoners, a man and a boy, who reported that two of the pirates were wounded. No person of the Alacrity's party was hurt. Early in the morning of the following day, the Alacrity being in the Doio Passage, Captain Hope Johnstone discovered two misti- coes standing out from a bay iu the island of Andros to cut her off ; and observing them shortly after tack and stand Back, he made all sail in chace, and sent the cutter to pursue them, under the com- mand of Lieutenant Triscott'; The crews of the ihistieoes, upwards of sixty in number, landed, and took possession- of an old tower, situated on a rock, which commanded the creek into which they had run their, vessels ; and as the cutter came near, they opened a. very heavy fire of musketry on her, ' which was instantly and smartly re- turned, the boat pushing on in a most gallant and judicious manher. The Alacrity covered her with her guns, and fired several broad- sides, which assisted to drive the pirates from - the rocks. Lieut. Triscott and his men, eighteen in all, landed, and . pursued, the pirates up the hills, keeping up a sharp fire on them ; whilst the Alacrity anchored, and the Captain sent the other boats to assist. Shortly after the boats returned, aud brought with them the two misticoes, which were burnt and scuttled, and three prisoners, one of them' severely wounded. Two seamen and one marine were wounded in the Alacrity's cutter ; and iii setting one'of the mis- ticoes on fire, an explosion unfortunately took place, by which Lieutenant Wheatley was severely burnt. Captain Hope Johnstone, in his report, expresses the highest approbation of the conduct of his officers ' and men ; and in trans- mitting the report, Sir Harry Neale, as well as Captain Hamilton, commends the active and spirited exertions of Captain Johnstone, and of Lieut. Triscott, on those occasions- LONDON, June 26. Tuesday forenoon the Earl of Fife . arrived at the Royal Lodge on a visit to his Majesty, . Wednesday afternoop> at half past two o'clock,, his Majesty, ac- companied by his attendants and the Earl of f'ife, left the, Royal Lodge for Virginia Water, where his Majesty indulged in his plea- surable excursions, and at five o'clock ( which is the hour that his Majesty dines on these occasions,) returned . to. the dining boat, where an elegant dinner, chiefly, cold, was served up After din- ner, his JVlajesty in general, renews his pleasurable excursions until eig'ht o'clock, when he returns to the Royal Lodge. On Thursday morning, about ten o'clock, his Majesty left his | toyal Lodge in Windsor Park, in his ; tjippn. travelling: carriage, to, visit his Royal Brother the Duke of York. His Majesty alighted from his carriage, at the apartments of his Boyal Sister the Princess Sophia, at his Palace in Kensington; aud shortly after the King proceeded to the Duke of York's house in South Audley Styeet, to visit his Royal Brother, in consequence of Ins indisposition* where Sir Henry llaltbrd was in attendance to report to the King the state of the Royal Duke, which, 1 we are happy to say, was, his Royal Highness was a great deal better, and had experienced a very good night. The King remained With his Royal Brother nearly an hour and a half, and then left town on his reHtrn to the Royal Lodge. A meeting of ship- owners, was held on Tuesday in ths city, the result of which has been the appoiutment of a committee, consisting of 1' 5 practical ship- owners, to oppose the report for the classifica- tion of shipping, and the interference in private property .; for this purpose communication will be held y/ ith all the outports in the kingdom. A letter from Philadelphia, of recent date, states, that late ac- counts respecting Mr. Owen's settlement, of Harmony in the West- ern county, are very unfavourable. Mr, Owen has incurred great expense, and will probably lose the whole. Many of the settlers were attracted by the hope of gain, and it is expected that Mr. O. will shortly be obliged to abandon his project.— Manchester Cou- rier.' '.••'• • F. AST INlJfA Sfmf'fMfj.

Devonport. June 17,— His Majesty's ship Pyramus, Captain Robert Gambler, is returned from Vera Cruz,. with Mr. Mortar ( as we mentioned in our last) « ho went oat to negociate a com- mercial treaty with the Mexican Republic, in which object he has not succeeded. The extreme jealousy and suspicion of that Go- vernment, that every proposition made originates in a sinister de- sign, the still'bigoted attachment to long existing opinions, aud the claims putr in by Mr. Poiucet, the American Representative, to equal privileges with any other State, have prevented the accomp- lishment of Mr. Morier's mission. The Mexican Government have also decided not to send an am- bassador to this country for the present, anil not to join the Colum- bians in an attack on Cuba. Commodore Porter ( of the Ameri- can navy) had arrived in Mexico, to offer his services to the Go- vernment,, in room of Captain W. R. Smith, or'the. British ser- vice, who resigns his command. The English seamen and officers in the Mexican service were extremely dissatisfied, and intended to leave it a » soon as their period of service was expired. Their SF| ui* irou consists of only one 36 gun frigate, five brigs, - and a few schooners. The Pyramus touched at the Havannah. The Spanish squadron, under the command of Commodore Laborde, consisting of a line of battle ship, five heavy frigates, and three sloops, were criming off Carthagena, with a view to intercept the new Columbian frigate, La Plata, Captain Thomson, which left New York on the Hth of May, for that port; aud it was apprehended she would fall into their hands. The Spanish squadron had no intention of making a descent on any part of the Columbian state. The Pyramus left the Dartmouth, 42, Captain IL Dundas, at Vera Cruz; the Rattle- snake, Scyll'a, Harlequin, aud Britornart, had recently landed mails, and sailed ou their return to Port Royal. The Pvramus brought 280,000 dollars to pay the dividend on the first Mexican loan, and 120,000 dollars, and 170 serous of cochineal, ou ac- count ot' British merchants. The Edward transport, Lieut. Burney, arrived on Saturday at Portsmouth, from Sierra Leone, whence she sailed ou the 29th of March. The B razen, 28, Captain Wiiles, was the oulv ship of yy. fir there. Thru* Slave ships she had captured were condemned " to her. One nfthe;- e prizes is 9G feet long, and 220 tons burden. The Edward hail brought home the master and mate of the ship Malta,, of. Liverpool, on, a charge of slaving. Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's; dated Montcgo Bag, April 22 : " The Hale, . of Liverpool, Clarke, arrived this mo. rping, efter 41 days' passage from Milford. - On Tuesday the 28th March, at 10 a. m. lat. 80.

Tbey then plundered the ship of cargo, provisions, and stores, with all the Captain's wearing apparel, and all his pri- vate property that they could lay their hands on. She was a large black schooner, apparently new, one white streak ; carried three very large topsails with three reefs in them, lidded top- gaflant.- niasts.

Trie Lord Advocate in addressing the jury dwelt much on the horrid nature of the offeiicc with which ih(" prisoner BKXK! charg- ed. It was that of the highest crime known in the law of Scotland uiurder— and in which was added the frigUtl'nJ aggravation of its having been perpetrated by a son, imbruing bis hands in the blood r/ f a rather. He had hopt'd for the honour ol the country, that while t « held the office of public prosecutor it would not have fallen to his kit- to consider.. such a case— but it was with sorrow he was com- pelled to stW " tar this was the seciuiil case of parricide which bad teen tried in that court within these six months. He was sure that the jury in the present inst.( tice could i- oine to no other conclusion t& in that the p^ nnel b id been guilty of parricide. As to the facta « » ' fhe ca » - lie ia- lieved there was little difference of opinion ; they would, however, perhaps hear a good deal about tlie case ; but tVoui the charaAer of the offence as made out by the evidence, he did not see how it could be viewed as a ease of culpable homicide. A% rgoing over the leading festuri- s of the evidence, and remark- ing in rather strong terms upon the manner Mrs. Brash bad given her tcsiiniopV,' he concluded by observing, ( hat it could never be hnn. i- > nUe vvheie the crime pris'eeiled fisirrr revenge, and by pressing tlie" juiy to return a verdict jofj- uiK* oi'parricide against tlie paunel. jir.

ON Tuesrfav, tlie Hog. Captain Go it DON", t lie for- mer nveioUt'r for this couiitv, was unanitoouslv re- elt- t- tfd for ilie ens, tiing Parliament. OppoSeJ' as our political opinions are to tliose of Captain GOHDON and bis siipporters, wi the more rusuiily bear onr ^ estiui'iivv- to tin- good seusi', iliiigence, ant! integrity, V » hie! t we helievp our eoinity represen- tative lias titeivti in the discharge of his parliameii- tarv duties, and whk'li have done credit to himself, and acquired liitn ttie respect of all parties. The gloom that was thrown on the aifair* of Greece. Iiv' the fail ofMissolotighi, has been m& re than dissipated by jiie ' intelligence, that Lord Coc'tl RANK lias sailed for the Mediterranean, with- a naval force tinder hie command. The expedition, it would appear, has been prepared with intentional seeresv, and no aceiirate in- formation, is given ot the nature or extent oi the arnia- inetit, or of its destination. The latter point- may, perhaps, depend partly on the state in which Lord COCHRANE finds the affairs of ( i recce on his arrival. It seems not unlikely, that the present contest between Brazil and the Republic of La Plata may lead to the desirable result,' of the establishment of a republican go- vernment in the former country. The naval superiority of Brazil has given her a temporary advantage in the contest for the Bahda Oriental. But it is even already apparent, that the superior vigour of the government at Buenos As res, the organization of the federal constitu- tion, and the popularity of the republican cause in the contested territory, will ultimately ensure the triumph of l. a P'a'a. Iu the mean time, in the Northern Pro- vinces of Brazil, the republican spirit, which. it formerly cost the Ihipetiai government so much trouble to quell, bus aonin broken forth ; and, as the government must be fjSlfv occupied with the contest which it has to main- tain in tile Eolith, the* aceir., now no small probability that these Prrninceti may aAieve their . object,' and that this be « ui- tKidsection of Sotllh America nuiv be shortly p'aced wui!< r a t! io » '. ni « hly representative oovermnerit.

Monarchies in the world— wotild in all probability have been saved from the dangerous contest in which tie is at ; present engaged, or at afl events, would have engaged m'j it with the advantagSr which a popular and constitutional j government would have derived from the confidence and j co- operation of" the governed, ami would probably have ! never heard of the revolutionary movements in the | North, which are now threatening-( not for tlit- first ; time) toil ml him from his throne. But intelligent and liberal as Don PEDRO naturally j is, it was hardly to be expected that a member of the family of Portugal should, at the present day; feel easy under the restraints of a constitutional government : and although our information with regaid to the political movements of Brazil is somewhat scanty, it is but too apparent, thit the Emperor has long been busying him- self in destroying piece- meul that fabric of liberty, which he wag himself so instrumental in rearing. i his con- duct has met with its appropriate reward. Lord COCH- ITAS E, partly ill disgust, we have no doubt, at the po- litical tergiversation of the Emperor, has left hjs service for the more honourable employment of aiding in the re- generation of Greece, and has been spared the humiliation fighting under his flag against Spanish freedom in La Plata, l ite Brazilian fieet, deprived of its best leader, has j acquired little credit in those skirmishings with the infant , navy of the republic, in which it has been openly ae- j cused of cowardice. The Emperor finds that, as lie is : without the restraints, so he is without the resources and J confidence which he would have derived in tlie contest ; from a representative government, and seeing his error j when it is too late, he is endeavouring to re- establish the institutions which lie has been so busy in subverting-* bile the republicans of Para are taking courage from his diffi- culties, and the Imperial Throuo is tottering to its founda- tion. We trust the day is not distant, when the New World will, from the" St. Lawrence and the Lakes to Cape Horn, be enjoying the inestimable benefits of Ue- presentative institutions. n I MR. HUME'S ELECTION. The election of our lute, distinguished Representative tahes place at • Arbroath on Mondag first. His- extensive services to the public are so highly appreciated by that public, and by many individuals even who differ with him on important political ques- tions, that it would be superfluous in us to say more than to con- gratulate. our felfow- citizen* on the certainty of his again being returned the Member for this District of Boroughs. To our readers at a distance, it is necessary to add, that the Jiu/ gesses and- Inhabitants vf Aberdeen have as much to say in the return of their representative as the man in the moon, and they have precisely ihe same share in the election of ihe Magis- trates and Council, who elect themselves, and are thus vested in a fifth share in the return of a member of Parliament, along with the boroughs of Arbroath, Brechin, Montrose, anfi Berate. Upon every occasion, the three first have voted for Mr. HUME, OH the present they unanimously support him, while Bervie ( which is. the property of Mr. FAHQUHAP., member for Portarlington, and who formerly represented this district,) has been cemented by family compact with Aberdeen, and these two boroughs have in- variuldy, opposed Mr. HUMK. The inhabitants of Aberdeen have no participation in this holy alliance, and it appears singu- lar ihat some of the ' Aberdeen Council should stick so c! 4se to it, considering that on other subjects they I kink for themselves, with- out jw. riting for the'nod of the Provost. We urish they would act occasionally for themselves at the Council Board; and we should like much ' better to see, than to hearf of independent Trades Counsellors. . . ffpQn this occasfori, when there is no opposition to Mr. BUMF., we ore anxious to see how. the Aberdeen Delegate will act oil Monday ; if the' Xfavjicil % we had sense enough to direct him to vote for Mr. HUME they will deserve the thanks of the com- munity. We understand, that the freedom of thi. i city hits nemr yet been conferred on " Mr. MSMX. Had Aberdeen been the returning burgh at present, we would, have recommended a public meeting, of the inhabitants to have been exiled, to shew their respect for kirn in some way or other. Perhaps purchasing the freedom of the city from the Magistrates, would have been a proper mode. We believe there is nothing to prevent this being done ; one penny each from half the population would much more than suffice, say 25,000, a/ id we are certain that number would attend at its presentation. We con fess we should like to witness, such a scene, and we hope, when Mr. HUME again visits Aberdeen, that we shall see it. BIRTHS.

' i'} » e flames ra^ etl kith great vivdctfcpe, and- a brisk wind springing up, they soon sprea^ l along the hills for several miles, burning the peat « w hich the in- habitants had prepared for them w inter fuel, and the very uueast moss, to tlie depth oi s<* veral fw- t; at one time the lire even threatened tiic plantations pertaining to ( icneral ForUs of AuchemaCli, but the exertions of the people checked its progress.. The hill of Corinc has likewise h<* en burning for sever; d weeks,, and report says, that a large extent of peat moss and turf is entirely . consumed. All these are however trilling, when computed to the dreadful con-' M igration which has existed among the Grampian Hitls and towards the woods of Glentannet, and which threatened the entire destruc- tion of that excellent'forest. It would appear, that these fires had originated in - various places, proceeding from the head of the Esk wa- ter, south of" the Grampians, from Mount Skene, Lochnagar, See- where the moors had been burning for several Weeks unheeded, . in that extensive range. On Sunday last, its increased extent and .. approach' to the. woods of Glentanner ciilkd forth the united exert- iou of, the country and neighbourhood. Hundreds of men, under the direct ion of Major Leith Hay and Mr. Farquharson ofFinzean, . who have been mOst indefatigable on this occasion, aud iucluding the Earl or A boy he's tenantry, convened to endeavour to stop its progress, but with rio great success. On Monday, the danger became immi- nent, that preparations Were making to remove tiie ihniiture of the workman belonging to the. sawmill of Olentanner, as not only, the he 1 th but the whole surface of the hills and infcss, to- the depth of five or six feet, were in one mass of fire,. The exertions , of the people continued unabated, although many of the men were completely exhausted with extreme fatigue and' want of sleep. ' On Wednes- - day, providentially, a stdr^ n of . thunder and rain. to<> k place, and we are happy to say, that its erfefcts on the same night were . such, a- j to enahle those engaged to get the fire considerably under. Some trees were burnt on the outskirts of the forest,, hut no great damage is doue to the plantations.' A report has reached here that it has not been subdued, but has again burst forth ; this, however, is happjly not confirmed. Many sheep are said to be burned in the hills or suffocated. The. extent of the burning cannot well be esti- mated as. yet, some reporting a Space of ten- miles, others. double that extent. The real cause of these- fifes seems to be, the thoughtless and careless manner of'peOple leaving fires on the mosses unextinguished, when preparing their fuel, and the" no less repre- hensible mode of kindling tobacco pipes, and throwing out the fiery ashes aiming the drytniatli. Jndwtf, n lar^ e [ iroportion of the pnat mus « - n, iu this part of the country and neighbourhood, liave been more or less on fire. And. last week, at. the bosses of I'otterton and Belhelvie, an alarming tire had extended w> far, that nearly 800 people were eta- ployed in digging a ditch to prevent itn extending to the neighbour- ing woods and plantations, in tihich they finally succeeded, after great exertion, * •• A correspondent, who has seen a very intelligent person from Glengarden, gives us the following particulars regarding the pre- sent alarming fires on Dee- side. It would appear that the fire on Locbuagar began on the west or Achalater side of the mountain, that it came jound the north end,- and at one time approached near the forest of Ballachbowie, but owing to a change of wind, it pro- ceeded up Glengelder, and along the east side, completely destroying every thing in its course, as far as a well known building called the Hut, belonging ' to Abergeldie, the furniture of which was removed ; the fire then communicated with Glenmuick, where it now prevails with considerable strength. In* passing along Glen- gelder, the heat was so excessive that the troufcs in the stream were thrown out upon the banks in great numbers quite dead, and many of them found scorched. On the east side of Lochnagar, the flames and unmelted snow were contending with each other, ulti- mately. the former prevailed, and the fire reached the highest summit. On Tuesday last, the smoke from Mount Chier and Polloch, si- tuated south of Pannanach, was so dense in Glengarden, that the nearest farm- town to our informant, although not a quarter of a mile distant, could not be seen ; and in passing down the north side of the Dee on Wednesday afternoon, he says he was dearly suffocated with smoke from- Clochrmben and the Glens of Dye, Birse, and Tanner; some straggling trees in the latter had been burnt, and the fire proceeded with such rapidity that the occupiers of houses removed from them with their whole, effects— in some cases it was distressing to see young infants actually lying m their cradles in safe sp& ts, until . carts could be . provided carry them away. Fires appear to prevail very far westward : our informant saw the summit of Ben Avon blazing, and smoke in various other quarter!?. Report says there is a moss in Corgarf in a similar state, arid that a man removing his peats, to, a. more safe place than the moss, had incautiously thrown amongst the rest & ome in which fire Was concealed,; after his. carts had proceeded, some distance, the fire " kindled, up anjl spread ao, that he was obliged to throw out the whole, to save his carts. , The weather extremely . warm and in general dry, so 8- S to be still ' very unfavo^ n^ ile for the/ yuits of the earth, and grow- ing' crop in particular, . Within these three or four days, however, the fall of the Barometer has indicated a change^ and there have been some refreshing showers ? n different parts of the country, which have, no doubt, had good effects iu the local situations to wbich they extended. In the course of the week, to the northward and westward, a great deal of thunder has been heard, and on Wed- nesday there was a tremendous thunder storm in the direction of Kin tore, and extending/ towards Gight, & e. At both places, the thunder storm w, as accompanied by a heavy fall of rain, and it is said, a good de. il of hail near Kintore. Yesterday there was some: thunder to the northward, and the rain fell so copiously in the parish of Belhelvie and neighbourhood, that it was running in streams * on the road, whtch was cut into rut.? in consequence. In this immediate neighbourhood, we have shared but slightly iu the benefit of the rain; one shower, which we had on Wednesday even- ing, having fefeen next day succeeded by the like severe drought and heat as before. Indeed, the heat has never been known to be more oppressive, the Thermometer in the shade, during this and last week, being generally from 75. to 78. resembling more the heat of a tropical climate than any tiling to which we have been accus- tomed in this country. The consequences of the drought must be sererelv felt, as in ad- dition to the hay, which in most places, is already in a great measure lost; without a speedy change and sufficient degree of moisture, the late fowii turnips must aUo suffer, as the *- rop now appears to do generally. No season like the present h e*, it is believed, been known *< inee tlyit of 1775, whea tlie heat and draught were most • evere almost throughout, so that the harvest was wholly conclud- ed against the first week of Sept. and the' crop so short as in many cases to lie , hardly • fit for cutting by the sickle. Enuer such un- favourable circumstances, however, and such an unpromising state of the crop, it does not appear, that in 1775 the deficiency was such as to occasion any great dearth of grain, < wts being alwat 15s. per boll, and with fodder SO*, so that the advance of price fell chiefly ou the fodder. The arid ami' patched state of the soil has, in the mean time, exposed the country to the danger arising from the improper practice of kindling fireron the hills and masses ; and the iiitet ior, oTas it . i. s called, - pa/ is of the coili> try./ ?
