There can lie little doubt, however, of our making a safe estimate for the cause of emancipation, by dividing these in the same proportions as the members re- elected ; that is, in equal num- bers- on- each side, after devoting one for the Speaker, who, of course, did not vote. ••• Of the hundred Irish Members, we con ascertain the sentiments nearly of all.

( 0) ( 27) The Marquis of Qucensberry tendered his protest against putting the Earl of Mar on the place which had been assigned him on the roll, which was entered on the minutes, Mr. Mackenzie remarking, that all that could be said in answer to the protest was, that it was the duty of the clerks to read the names as they stood- upon the Union Roll. Upon the title of Earl of Stirling being read, the Earl of Rose- bery said, as no person was present to answer to that titie, he be- lieved it was the proper time and quite regular for him to notice, that at the last election a gentleman appeared at their Lordships' table, and was admitted to vote at that election as Earl of Stirling, who had not previously made good his claim to that titie. His Lordship by no means intended to insinuate, that the officers had in the least degree deviated from their duty in the interpretation they had put upon the resolution which he had endeavoured to get passed in the House of Lords in the year 182,2 ; their cousiruction of that resolution was perfectly correct, but having been the humble in- strument of proposing that resolution, for preventing the collateral descendants of Peers from assuming titles until they establish their • laim, it was his intention, should he lie again returned a repre- sentative Peer, to move on amendment on the resolution of the House of Lords, that any person laying claim to a peerage by col- lateral descent, and under peculiar circumstances of lineal descent, should not assume the title until his claim was established in his behalf. This, his Lordship said, he thought would be a good wholesome rule. Lord Belhaven stated, that when he first received the proxy of the Duke of Hamilton, he wrote his Grace that he would not act as his proxy unless he either filled it up with the names of those he wished him to vote for, or send a signed list; his Grace had written iu an- swer that he would not appoint a proxy under that stipulation, and sent a signed list. The list was found to be informal, and as it was not his wish to withhold his Grace's vote from any person, he would, as proxy, read the list Be had sent. It was his Grace's pleasure to vote for only ten, and he ( Lord B.) desired it might not be under- stood he withheld any other vote. The votes having been counted, the following sixteen noblemen were declared duly elected, viz- FFIIMLIMTMZ NZB)$. ELECTION OF SCOTS PEERS. On Thursday the 13th, the election of sixteen Peers, to represent the Scottish nobility in the ensuing session of parliament, took place at Holyroodhouse. Their Lordships were attended by Hector Mac- donahl Buchanan, Esq. and Colin Mackenzie, Esq. two of the Principal Clerks of Session, in virtue of a commission from the Lord Clerk Register of Scotland ; by the Rev. Dr. Grant, of St. An- drew's Church, one of the Deans of the Chapel Royal, and the Rev. Principal Macfarlane of Glasgow, one of his Majesty's Chap- lains for Scotland, and by other official gentlemen. The Lord Provost and Magistrates were also present. The business was open- ed by an excellent prayer from Principal Macfarlane, after which the Union Roll of the Scots Parliament was called over by one of the Clerks, when there appeared RILESENT.

The petition was approv- ed of, signed bv the Lord Provost of Edinburgh in name ol'rbe Con- vention,' and Copies of it ordefed to'- be sent to the M& rquis '. d' Lothian — the Members'of' Parliament tor Northumberland, and to such Scotch Members a? take an interest in tW measure. After sorfoe general' business'. relative to accounts had been gone through:, the Assessor for Latfark observed, in reference to what he stated on Wednesday as to a general system of police, that he brought the matter under the notice of the Convention with a vievV to its being taken rip next year ; hut after leaving the house he met with some Members, who entered so warmly into the subject, that he wished, if it were competent, to have it referred to the annual Committee. The LORD PROVOST of Edinburgh believed the Assessor for Lanark was not in order. The subject must lie over till nexfyear. The PROVOST of Perth said, the business being closed, he begged to move the thanks of the Convention to the Lord Provost of Edin- burgh, for his conr'uct in the Chair, which was seconded by Mr. W. Bell, W. S., aud unanimously adopted. His Lordship, in reply, stated, that he trusted the business of future years Would be conducted in the same agreeable manner. The Convention then dissolved, and the next Convention ap- pointed to meet on the 2d Tuesuay of July 1827. The old stone, Mr. Johnson slated, might la- it twenty rchiv > nger; ljut at all events would be worth 8s. per y itd after teif years' wear. That statement was made at a calculation of using the very best material, but most of the pavement is laid down at from ts. to 10s. per yard.

The Clerks having certified the return of the Noble Lords to Chancery, in presence of their Lordships, the business was closed with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Grant. At the election in 1818, there were 58 voters, viz.— 27 present, 3 proxies, and 28 signed lists. Thursday, there were exactly the same number of voters, 58 ; of whom 25 were present, 6 proxies, and 27 signed lists. The election took place, as usual, in the Picture Gallery, and was numerously attended. So judiciously, however, was the whole arranged, that although the room was completely filled, there was no overcrowding or confusion. In the afternoon, the Noble Lords, accompanied by several per- sons of distinction, dined in the Waterloo Tavern, where an elegant dinner was served up. CONVENTION OF ROYAL BURGHS. Tuesday, July 11. The Convention met this day, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh in the chair ; but the business was chiefly routine. From the re- ports by the agent, Mr. Irvine, it appeared that informations to the Court had been ordered in the actions brought for reducing the new setts of Brechin, Montrose, and Dundee. A very full report of a Committee on the subject of alimenting crimiual prisoners was read by the Convener, Mr. J. W. M'Kenzie, W. S., the Commis- sioner for Irvine. The Committee had been very active in com- municating with the County Members, the Lord Advocate, and the Secretary for the Home Department, through whom the subject had been remitted to a Committee of Parliament; but the shortness of the late session of the Legislature had reudered it impossible for the Committee to make a report. Mr. M'Kenzie moved the re- appointment of the Special Committee of Convention. He also brought under consideration, a proposal made from the county of Inverness, for having district jails erected in each of tire Circuit towns. The Committee had agreed to recommend this measure to the consideration of the Convention. The Special Committee, with the addition of Glasgow, Aberdeen, Inverness, Perth, and Cupar Fife, was re- appointed, with Conventional powers. On the mo- tion of Mr. Gibson Craig, thanks were voted to Mr. M'Kenzie, for his exertions as Convener of the Committee on this subject. In the afternoon, a number of the members dined together in the Waterloo Hotel. Wednesday, July 12. After some routine business had been gone through, the Assessor for Jedburgh ( Mr. Wm. Bell, W. S.) with reference to certain former proceedings of the Convention, in regard to the shortest line of communication betwixt London and Edinburgh, stated, that he understood surveys of three different lines of road had }> ecn made under the authority of Government, and he now wished that the Convention should apply to the Treasury, requesting that they would be pleased to order a survey of another line from Newcastle to Edinburgh, by Wooler and Jedburgh. After some conversation on the sahjeet, a Committee was appointed to prepare a petition, and lay it before the Coaventioa next day. The Assessor for Lanark said there was one subject to which he begged to direct the attention of the Convention, in the hope that it would be taken up by some member more able to do justice to the cause. The most of the burghs were invested with loose cha- racters, and a general system of Police ought, if possible, to be pro- cured. In Edinburgh the extent of this evil was not known, but in the country it was felt as a most intolerable grievance. He would suggest that, with this view, a general Act of Parliament should be procured, applicable to all the burghs of Scotland ; • but he would leave it optional to burghs to take advantage of the provisions of the statute as they should see cause. The Assessor for Kinghorn acquiesced in the general utility of the suggestion, but doubted whether the burghs would be able to support the machinery of the system. The expense of procuring such a bill would be a mere trifle ; but thd very objection of ina- bility to procure a bill as applicable to each burgh, implied that the burghs ir, general would not be able to take advantage of such a sta « tute even were it passed. The Assessor for Lanark replied, that he only intended such burghs as were inclined should take advantage of the law. He did not mean it to be imperative, but optional, on the burghs to adopt it. He trusted that the subject would not be lost sight of. The conversation here dropped, on an understanding that the question will be taken up next year. The Assessor for Kinghorn said, there was one subjcct in which the burghs, as well as the whole people of Scotland were in- terested, and to which he wished to direct the attention of gentle- men opposite— he meant the high price of bread. It was known that his Majesty's Ministers intended to revise the laws relating to the importation of corn ; and though he had on more than one oc- casion moved votes of thanks to Ministers, yet lest he should be ac- cused of servility in making it an annual practice to bring forward motions of that nature, he made the suggestion that some gentleman opposite might prepare a petition in name of the Convention to strengthen the hands of Ministers. The Convention then adjourned till next day. Thursday, July 13. The Convention, met at ten o'clock* Mr. Bell, W. S. as con- vener of a Camxnutee. produced a draft 0? n petition, to tW Lords of C O B B E T T. Kensington, July 4, 182G. GENTLEMEN— Here I am, after an absence of thirty- seven days, during which days 1 have travelled five hundred miles, have seen and spoken to half a million of people ; have had, 1 dare say, fifty thousand men and women shake me by the hand, and more than five thousand of these have, perhaps, come from an average distance of more than twenty miles, expressly for that purpose, ami that they might go home and have to say that they had touched Mr. Cobbett's hand. Many persons came on this errand from a distance of fifty miles ; which of itself ought to be deemed by me more than a compensation for all my labours. The government, the boroughmongers, the whole body of tax- eaters, know right well, that I would have done something ; and they know that that romething would have affected them most deeply. Vaiu, howrever, are their efforts to keep ine out of Parliament; in that Parliament I must be, or there must be a dreadful convulsion. Now mark, this I predict with as much confidence as I ever pre- dicted any thing in my life. Every day has added a thickening to the mess from the time that I last embarked for America to the pre- sent day. I have proposed the remedy ; that is to say, I have pro- posed the principles of the remedy; and there is no other remedy under heaven, whereby this nation is to be saved from a dreadful convulsion. I have the details of that remedy down to the minutest provisions, drawn up in the shape of an act of Parliament. That remedy adopted, that act once passed, all would soon heeonx har- mony in, the country, safety to the state, competence amongst the now half- bankrupt tradesmen, and plenty of food anu raiment amongst the more thau half- starved working- classes ; but this remedy, these details, shall never be seen by any eyes other than those of my own family as long as these abominable conspiracies, these foul and un- natural combinations and coalitions, continue to exclude me from my proper place in the Government. In Parliament I will be, or this remedy shall never be communicated to the public. You, my friends, of the working- classes, cannot easily be worse off than you are : it must he almost the devil himself to come to add to your sufferings and privations. Therefore, I shall stand by and see the thing work ; and as long as he sits there, lot' the cotton lords of Lancashire cry out for assistance to Mr. Wooa. In the Register of 22d April, I said, " When I compare my situation, in the eyes of the public, with my situation only five years ago, am I to be disheartened by any thing ? When I reflect oi\ the abuse, opprobrium, the scorn through which I maintained my ground, till I saw the day when the correctness of my opinions were verified by events, arid recognised by the acts of the Ministers them- selves ; and when I reflect, that it is fear of my talents and my in- tegrity, and that all the world will be convinced that it is nothing « lse that will cause me to fail, if fail I should, am I a man to pout and sulk and retire, at the loss of an election ? Am I a man, be- holding, as I do, the events which are now fast treading upon the heels of the other ; dm I a man, beholding these things, having all the materials for circulation so plainly before me ; am I a man to fly off in a huff, and reject the apple, because I am not permitted to take it by the tail ? No such a thing." Such, then, was the temper of mind, and such were the pro- mises with which I entered upon the Preston contest. And, gen- tlemen, have I not fulfilled those promises to the very letter V Hav< I not carried on and concluded this contest in a manner worthy of your friendship and of the actions of my whole life ? I hesitated for some time between Westminster and Preston ; and, indeed, I was not without some thoughts about Middlesex. I can- not behold the f VuV miserable things who have been returned for Westminster and Middlesex as quietly as if for a couple of rotten boroughs, like Old Sarhm or Gatton, without lamenting that I did not remain to make a stkv against them ; yet- when I think of the excellent people of the north ; of the sensible, the public- spirited, the zealous, the disinterested, the generous, the devoted people at Preston, I can feel sorry at nothing that tended to take me into their country ; I can lament nothing which has arisen from my being present amongst them : to have made an effort to give them free- dom, to have actually given them fifteen days of liberty to pour out just reproach upon the execrable tyrants who oppress them ; to have been present with them for a month, and to have witnessed the sacrifices which they made to their duty: these are beyoud all value: beyond all estimate. On the 29th, we passed through Manchester, Bolton, Chorlev, and other villages, to Preston. When we came within about two miles from Preston, we were met by flags, banners, and a band of music, and by an immense multitude of people, many of them car- rying green boughs. As we proceeded on, the people came flock- ing from the hamlets and the detached houses ; and we found the sides of the road, that is to say, the banks, which are very deep and sloping along here, covered with people. At some distance from Preston, they were in groups rather than Hues. The sloping grounds at the side of the road were from thirty to forty feet deep. On these slopes, you beheld closely- packed groups of women and girls, from one to four or five hundred in a group, all in their best clothes-— all delighted ; the gayest and most enchanting fight that eyes ever beheld. As we approached Preston, the she'ivi « g grounds became not the station of groups, but they were covered altogether with people. See me, then, in an open carriage, standing upon the seat with my hat off, and see these immense multitudes of peopl. behold their eager looks, their inexpressible satisfaction, the de- monstrations of their joy ; see their faces and hear their shouts, and then ask yourselves whether there must not have been some reason for all this ; whether any other man in the kingdom could have drawn forth such demonstrations ? Here was no pl-. n ; no con- trivance to get people together; not a penny, nor a pint of beer given to any body. All was purely voluntary. We proceeded on. deafening the town with shouts, till we got near the Castle Inn, which was my quarters, and which is situated on one side of the Market Square. We wished to drive in at the gateway, but that was found to be impossible. I therefore jumped out upon so mi men's shoulders, and they carricd me sale into the inn, from the window of which I made my speech, and then my good and kind conductors departed for the night. It was towards the close of the evening when we entered Preston ; the weather was fair, the sun was just setting, the air was mild, every thing in nature was beauti- ful, and the beauty of the groups of women far surpassed any thing that I had ever beheld in my life. The women, being tlie most beautiful here that I ever saw; their vivacity distinguishes them greatly from the women of the south or the west; all appears to be energy with them ; and judge of my happiness to receive smiles from so many thousands of beautiful faces, and to hear blessings upon me from so many thousands of pairs of beautiful lips. . Our next town was Boiton- le- Moo; ^. A baud of music was ready for us a mile further on ; and we entered Bolton amidst im- mense multitudes of people. The great and general desire of both men and women was to shake hands with me. I put my arm over the side of the carriage, and sometimes both arms together, and let them squeeze and pull my hands about just as they pleased, till my hands were sore from my wrists to the points of my lingers. M right arm was so much pulled and shaken between Blackburn. and Bolton, that I could not, the next morning, lift it up to tie on my cravat.— CobbetCs Register. MACADAMIZATION. In the proceedings taken before the House of Lords on the 11 th of last May, several witnesses gave evidence on the Westminster Improvement Bill, as to the comparative expense of macadamizing and paving. According to this evidence there is no less a difference in ten years thau L2 on every yard ; a yard of paving for that time amounting to 10s. lOd. and a yard of macadamised road, for the same period, costing L2 1 Os. 1 Od. Mr. Johnson, an eminent pavior and stone- merchant, stated be- fore their Lordships that he had beeu a contractor for St. GeovgeV, St. Ann's, St. Giles's, and other parishes, and for some pa its of the city, which enabled him to make very accurate calculations. He proved that the very best pavement would cost 13s. per square yard, which would require no repair for the first year certainly, and in most cases would cost nothing in repair for the first three years; that the expense after the first year would be ahout 4d jver annum for ten years, after which the pavement, as laid down, would be worth 8s, per yard to the parish ; thereby reducing the expense of a square yard of pavement, in ten years, to lOd. as under Firstcost Ten years' repairs, at id.

Kline rofod in repair for the last seven years was 8 | per yard ; tlia^ it has now been macadamized, and cost, in labour only, from 3s.. 6d. to Is. per yard ; that they broke up all the stone, and took none away ; and although they laid it on from 15 to J8 iucher » thick, it still wanted a general coat throughout the line. The Commissioners for Woods and Forests offered to keep it in repair at 3s. 4- d. per yard ; and 2|- watering. At 3s 4d. it would cost LIper annum— a sum more than one- third of their whole rat « for watching, lighting, and paving. The Surveyor to the Commissioners of Westminster- bridge, stated that the expense of paving and keeping in repair the paving of the bridge for 22 years ( from 1802 to 1824) was L3494, including LI 165 for new paving in the first year, making an annual expense of LI56. About two years ago the bridge was macadamized, and the year after cost LI 507 12s. Od. There was a covering ordered in June 1825, which cost LI72 10s. besides Mr. McAdams an- nual charge of LSflO. The surveyor said he thought it now requir- ed another covering like that of last year, at the ex pence of 1,170 1 Os. as he hifid examined the road,, and found the broken stone oi* an average, not more than three washes thick. NEW STEAM CARRIAGE. [ From a CarrcsjionctoiLj We have just had an opportunity of examining a Steam CatriiW^ y which has lately been constructed, iu the most private maimer, under the direction of Mi'. Gnrney, of Argyie street, and whicU is now so near its completion, that a brkf description of it, while it cannot fail to interest the public, to whose notice it is on the point of heing presented, will scarcely be considered as unfair or injurious to the proprietor, by giving a premature publicity to his ingenious and original invention. Considering tlie great weight, and umVcildy character gme-' •> iy, of ordinary steam machinery, perhaps the most remark- able particular connected with Mi.. Cj& mey's new fcarriagp, and that which will strike the observer- with most surprise, is, tlur extraordinary lightness awl elegance of its external appearance, looking at it with reference to the ordinary carriages at present it* use among us, its appearance is something between that of the re- gular Mail and the common Telegraph stage- coach. Indeed it more nearly resembles those light carriages which are at present driven four- in- hand, by our young bloods in the Parks and about town, than any other vehicle with which we arc acquainted. The body of it is not larger—- it has tlse same kind of fore and hiniS boor, the same sized " box, dickey, ike. fir. what is stiii more re- markable, it has, so far as relatc9> to all the aliove particulars, no- thing belonging to it in appearance, which can distinguish it from one of the above carriages— nothing " which they have not, or which cau indicate that it is intended to- be moved in any other than tlicor- di nary manner. On looking, however, before Mr. Guraey- fi Car- riage, at that spot which is in ordinary Carriages occupied by the pole, & e. and also beneath it, we perceive in what it differs out- wardly from others. Immediately in front, at about seven or eight feet in advance of the fore wheels, is j^ Iaced1 an oblong b& x ear & oot, . with a single wheel beneath it, and a. dickey seat above it, out' of which rises a high pillar. And underneath the body of the Carrisao- are several other pieces of machinery. IV is by means of tlwse- ob- jects that the Carriage is moved by the intervention of steam, and: 011 the ordinarily uralerstood principles of that power ; but by contrivances and arrangements, that appear to be altogether new, since the whofc weight of this macliiaery for generating- and; applying the required steara, amounts to but one twentieth part of that which has hitherto been considered as necessary, and witPwmfe which relative weight af this machinery, no successful attempt ha. » yet been made to apply steam practically to the arts of lite. The steam machinery attached to this carriage is estimated S » posscM what is called an eight- horse prow, and yet fV weight of the- whole, including the cylinders ( of which there are two instesdiof one) amounts to little more than about five hundred pounds. Where- as the ordinary weight of the machinery hitherto required Sagt- nerate- the above- named power, is not few than six tons. The- diminished . bulk is also iu proportion to the dintinished weight. With respect tt> the arrangement of this machinery in Mr. Gurnet's carriage, the boiler is contained in the oblong bos, or boot, whicl » vre have des- cribed as placed in advance of the carriage ; and the cylinders are* placed beneath the body of the carriage stsel&~- on£ on either aide the perch. Thus all the ordinary parts of the" - feBiele are left for the purposes to which they are applied in ordissty carriages— tfce in- terior and the hind and tore dickies for passengers ; and the bind and fore boots for luggage, & c. But one of the principal novelties in this carriage remains to be mentioned. In the various unsuc- cessful attempts which have hitherto been made to use steam for the- pnrpose of moving carriages along public roads, it has- been the in- variable practice to apptv the power exclusively to the TtVii; and the consequence has been, that when any considerable resisitewe has been encountered from extraordinary weight, rjsing of the road, & c. the wheels having 110 hold of the ground, have not been able to overcome it. Now, in Mr. Gurney's carriage, the ] Hnrer can, when sesessary, be applied, without a;: y reference whatever to the wheels, ami preeisefy in the same manner that ioco- motiv.; power is applied on man and other animals— namely, by mean* of propellers, or feet, placed Krarferneath, the carriage, and acted upon immediately by the steam machinery, wlwraany entvuordiuari- resistance presents itself. But although the propellers, or feet, of this carriage are of the most striking features belonging to it, thj- boiler strikes us as being far the most important; as that, if acie- quate to its purposes irttfie present instance, must be available in x vast variety of other ways in which steam has not hitherto been ap- plied, on account of the great weight and hulk rwsrairvd to generate it. We ha've not had am epjwttruity of examining this new lioile » , with a view to ascertain the principle on which it acts. But m>' redly if it is capable of generating tlie steam to work an engine of ait eight horse power, it must be reckoned among the mcstf ' oafKirtam achievements of modern science. The reader \ rifl be good enough to bear in mind, that we do not profess to lie answerable for any thing more than we have actually seen ef this carriage, aud Ue described as above. But we place perfect reliance on a » that we have now stated of it, and also/ m the- still more interesting and im- portant fact that it has been tried ort the premises at KilStu- im, where it was, in part, manufactured ; audi also on the public road; tW- se^ and that it travelled on the level at ihe rate of six niik's an h « ar, with tlie weight of sixteen persons t: pon it, and up the steep accli- vity, at the rate of about three miles an hour. We are assimil, that it moves without any more than the- ordinary reoise of a foul- wheeled carriage, without any unpleasant sensation of tile heat to the passengers, aud without any uppearance of smoke M.

UNNDTCS. la 10 CIIUK of the Mirage— This singular phenomenon,' which pre- sents on the parched and sandy pbim in hot climates an exact re- presentation of a lake of water, sometimes milled iu waves, at other times still and ' smooth, and appearing to reflect like a mirror the images of houses aud other objects situated beyond it,' is tb,> effect of a refraction of the rays of light, occasioned ' by the heated and ratified state of that portion of the air which is in imm.- liatt- contact with the sand. On a very hot day it may he observed this same process of refraction is distinctly visible in our country; al- though from the effects of vegetation at night, as well as lVmu the narrow range of our landscapes, it is never followed by a mirage. In the evening ulso, iu tile less frequented streets of l. on( l » u, we have observed the same phenomenon, although the stm has but little power ; which we ascribe to the action of the heat retained by the pavement aud bricks on the air which has gradually cooled to a low- er temperature than these solkl bodies. Talma.— Last night, at the rising of the curtain, the audience who came to witness the last appearance this season of . Mademoi- selle Duehehois, in the character of Mary Sl. ua, I, would not sulKr the tragedy to commence without receiving some account of M. Tal- ma. Saint Aulaire came forward and read' a bulletin, signed by si'. r physicians in attendance upon M. Tahna. On the first word* ' being pronounced, announcing all amelioration in the state of our celebrated tragedian, the loudest plaudits burst forth, and wer. » prolonged for a considerable time.

He- etorwurd.,-' resided in the college of Quito; but his memory had " so entirely abandoned him, that li," never could recollect any thing that had occurred to him before the earthquake, not, even his studies j and he was afterwards tau- ht- t,>. wad, aud to celebrate a votive mass. Mevican Indians.— If any altercation arises between two nnr. VI V oj*. they so to tfa » priest, ,-, Jl him the origm 01' their quarrel, and the cause thai each jiirty has lot: rompUlu^. The holy father alter admonishing them, administers a slight dogging toeaeh ; after which ceremony, the good creatures bless the hand which reconciles them, enthral cordially, and go away perfectly free from rancour. The present government, when it established equality among all the citizens of the state, deprived the priests of these privileges, and de- duced them from the condition of sovereigns of their respective pa- rishes, in which all judicial matters were decided by them aud every thing was left implicitv to their wisdom, to a level with tho rest of community. One austere priest, as himself told me, communicat- ed this act of government to his parishioners in the following man- ner : " My children, a law has passed which deprives me of all the advantages which your fathers are pleased to grant me, and my right to '. VrfHi is hereby abrogated. By virtue of this law I am . now your equal, or rather, the lowest among you. You are now citizens, and no objection binds you to me. Take away, therefore, Mie persons whom you have hitherto dedicated to my service. 1 have rfj claim to them. Henceforth I shall live an obscure and humble fife ; I shall wait on myself, I shall go from the altar to my house- hold labours, and the same hands which offer up the sacred and immortal sacrifice of the Host shall he employed iu the most abject ri& ces. I shall no longer be the reconciler, the - tan of peace among you; even this function, so dear to my heart, is no longer mine," & c. " Father," replied they, ( Totachi, as the Indians call their priest,) " Father, we will never depart from the way in which our fathers trod. They taught lis to serve you, and we will never cease to serve you. We will not be Citizens, we will remain Indian*. We will always obey you as we have obeyed you, and you shall llog us whenever we deserve it. This, oh ! Father, is our de- termination :" and thus does this imposter continue to enjoy the ad- vantages which he extorts from the simplicity of these innocent crea- tures. The village contains two hundred souls, " All," as the priest told me, " all thanks to the Lord < h razon ;" which in their slang means that tlicy are all Christians, and still, more, that they can all speak Spanish. This expression is so common, that the Indians themselves distinguish those among them who speak Spanish asgente tfe razon.— Journal ia London Magazine. Taking Tea in Persia After dinner, the Ameerzadeli, who knew that I usually took tea, asked me if I chose to have it with or without cream ? On my requesting to have it in the former way, .1 dish was brought me covered with the most beautiful cream ; but to my surprise, upon tasting it, I discovered that it had been season- ed with salt instead of sngar. I expressed my surprise at this, and was informed that it was the Oosbeek custom to sweeten only the tea which is drunk plain, but that if milk or cream be added, salt is used instead of sugar.

It is said that the improvement in steam navigation, introduced by Mr. Perkins, has attracted the serious attention of the Ministers, and that the Comet steam vessel has been placed at his disposal tor the purpose of the experiment. Mr. Pet- kin's plan consists in giv- ing to steam engines the same propelling power by a comparatively • mall portion of fuel, so small indeed that steam navigation to the remotest part of the world would become practicable, and vessels of war might be fitted up with steam engines without inconvenience. Should the experiments made by order of Government succeed, wo may expcct to see the whole system of naval warfare materially al- tered.

Plight of Locusts.—( Prom a Bombay paper of January 21.) i We have seen a private letter, dated at Baroda, which mentions that the cloud of locusts, which has been hovering for nearly two months over diffc- rcnt parts of the province of Gnzeratt, passed over that city on the 23d ult. The writer gives a most appalling account of the probable numbers of this host of destroyers ; for, after averag- ing their apparent rate of flight, the period tliey occupied in passing, and the estimated breadth, as gathered from different observers at opposite situation*. he- xalcuHtes that the cloud must have covered ten square miles, which, allowing only one locust for a square inch, would give more than 40,000 millions !— a number, which, how- ever startling it may seem when written down, the writer conceive*, to be very much below, rather than above, the truth; and he grounds that opinion on the almost perfect and unbroken shadow the insects cast on the ground, and the lurid darkness they occa- sioned, and from observing them as they passed a very tall flag- staff, where, so far as the bewildered eye was capable of judging, they appeared to be equally thick 50 feet above the ground, as they were 12 or 20. The insects are said to have done little or no injury at Baroda, hut to have passed onward with a steady flight; their course being from the south- east, and towards the north- east, di- verging from the right tine of their route on reaching the city, the smoke and uproar of which may probably explain the change Before their approach, and after their departure, there appearance was precisely that of immense and heavy clouds of dense smoke all along the horizon. Royal Johe. The King's wish to raise Sir Henry Halford to the Peerage has been met by the objection, that a Peer could not, consistently with his dignity, practise as a physician ; and also, that he would lose ' ins business, as people would not send for his Lord- ship, when they had, or fancied they had, any little nonsense the matter with them. His Majesty observed, that he saw nothing at all in the last objection, for all his friends would go to the Lord Harry. It was then proposed to give the coronet to Lady Halford, and to leave Sir Henry at liberty to take the fees ; but this arrange- ment did not exactly please his Majesty, whose wish is to obey the injunction of Scripture, and " to honour his physician;" he there fore asked whether it would not be the same thing if Lady Halford were to be made the physician and Sir Henry the Peer ? 1 believe it would— to the patients London Magazine.

The rebels demanded the heads of the Grand Vizier, the Aga Pacha, the Aga of the Janissaries, the Mufti; and P. eis Eftendi. It is said that the Sultan is resolved immediately to suppress this corps. He went to the - Mosque yesterday as usual. JUXE 18—- Not a single Frank or Rava has received any insult. The corps of Janissaries is going to be destroyed.

Their barracks have been burnt— their regiments are dissolved— and the whole institu- tion abolished. Tranquillity is now restored ; orders have been given to re- open the shops ; but the arrests and executions still con- tinue. Numerous guards are still placed in the principal streets. The Sultan has not yet returned to the country, and his Ministers are still encamped in the inner court of the Seraglio. The Sultan has displayed on this occasion extraordinary energy and firmness.

We have received a copy of lt An Address to the Holders of Greek Bonds, and the Friends of the Greek cause generally," writ- ten and put forth, we are told, under the sanction of a body of gen- tlemen who have taken a peculiar interest in the progress of the Greek arms and the support of Greek independence. It begins by expressing surprise that Englishmen have cooled in their sympathy towards the sufferings and in their ardour for the success of the Greeks, while the sympathy and the enthusiasm of the French have suffered no abatement. We were scarcely aware of the change, nor are we afraid of the contrast ; but if there has been any diminution in our zeal or our admiration, both its cause and excuse may be found in the conduct of the Greek authorities themselves, and the representations of those travellers who, having visited the scene of their operations, pretend to be best acquainted with their character. Passing by these topics, however, as not necessarily connected with the main object of the address, though forced, upon us by the writer, we may mention that its chief recommendation seem3 practicable, and might be extremely useful. Certainly, most of the recent dis- asters of Greece have arisen from the want of military organization ; and it is to be presumed that any arrangement for creating it might not only give a favourable turn to the war, but ensure the ultimate triumph of the righteous cause. Tho Address, therefore, recom- mends that a distinguished officer, whom it does not name, but describes, shall be solicited to proceed to Greece to organize its mili- tary resources, and that a temporary loan of L50,000 shall be rais- ed, to be exclusively appropriated to objects connected with his en- terprise. It is more than hinted, that the officer alluded to would have no objection to undertake the duty suggested ; and if we are right in supposing him to be the same able man who was formerly engaged in a similar service in Sicily, Naples, and the Ionian Is- lands, we think the cause of Greece could not be offered a more va- luable present— except in the person of Lord Cochrane, which it al- ready possesses - Times. The Etoile contains a long statement, taken from the Augsburg Gazette of the Oth July, of the accounts declared to the Greek Government by the two Deputies, Orlando and Louirotes, who are in London. Among the items are the following : — Expended on the building of six steam- boats - £ 123,000 Paid to the person who is command them ( Lord Cochrane), on account of his dis- bursements, estimated at £ 50,000 37,000 Three of the steam- boats are to be large, and three small; the first of the three large ones sailed for Greece in May, and it is to be hoped the two others will sail at the end of June. As for the three smaller ones, it is thought there is not money enough to finish them.

PARIS, July 10.— The Government has received very important news from Constantinople, which is published in the Etoile. of this day. Ou the 15th June the Janissaries revolted at Constantinople ,„,' account oft| ie Nizam Djedid. It was reported among them that this new organization was by virtue of a decree of Solimao, yet. notwithstanding this, the; took up arms. Sultan Mahmoud tin ned immediately from the country, caused the standard of the Prophet to tic hoisted, and summoned all the faithful to it. Eight thousand Topsehis have assembled and turned their cannon against the Janissaries, who for three days defended themselves in the streets sfcid iu their quarters. All those who did not submit have been ex terminated. On the 19th tranquillity was restored. It was not a moment interrupted at l'era. Sultan Mahmond has displayed Scree of energy and courage which was not possessed by his uncle, ' Kelim 111. who perished in 1807, iu an insurrection of the Janis- » , ries against the establishment of the Nizam Djedid. It is thought that th>* revolt will render the Divan more accessible to the repre dentation of the great European powers, who require the cessation of bloodshed in G recce. CdTreTANrlNovti!, June 16 The Sultan was at his sitmme Palace of Bschcktash. The Aga Pacha, and the Pacha command- ina- on the Asiatic bank of the Bosphorus, repaired to Constantinople with their troons ; 8000 Topehis, or artillery, also went thither. At length, his Sublimity being resolved to quell the rebellion, caus- ed the - standard of the Prophet to lie and displayed, proclamations t- 1 be made in all the quarters ( if the city, that all men of honour, that is to sav, true believers, had immediately to rally round this Standard.

In the letter of Paez to Bolivar, he accuses Santander of duplicity in inducing him to enforce the decree lor the enlistment of the mili- tia, fortvhich he was subsequently impeached. The conduct of the Supreme Court of Police'at Bogota is also complained of; and what- ever that conduct may be'be, it ia manifest that its distance from the interior affords reasonable ground of dissatisfaction. There is no trace of Spanish influence visible throughout the whole ot these documents. May 2- 1 On Saturday, the 15th of this month, the resigna- tion offered liy General Santander of the office of Vice- President; for the second constitutional period, came before Congress. It was refused to be accepted almost unanimously, only five votes being in favour of receiving it. The Congress of Colombia has passsd a law, authorising the es- tablishment of ports of deposit for all kinds of goods and merchan dize. This law is founded on the advantages derived not only to importers, by permitting the re- exportation of such goods as do not find a ready sale, without the payment of import duties, but also to the people in general, who will thus be regularly provided with such goods as they may require. The ports of deposit are, on the Atlantic Coast, Puerto Cabello and Carthageua; on the Coast of the Pacific, Guayaquil. From the LONDON GAZETTE, July U. Whitehall, June 27.

We have received Caraccas Papers to the 1st June, which the curiosity excited respecting the events in Venezuela will cause to be read . with interest. They throw further light on the motives of the enezuelans, and on the probable issue of the step taken by Paez. It will be recollected by those who have attended to the affairs of Coldmbia, " that in the late elections, while the Votes for Bolivar for President Were unanimous, those for Santander as Vice- President, who, in the absence of the Liberator, is the head of the Executive, did not amount to the number required by the Constitution as a de- cisive majority ( though he had a greater number than any other candidate). In such a case the Constitution of Colombia ( copied in this respect from that of the United States) directs that the final choice shall be referred to the Congress— who chose Santander. Santander is a native of New Grenada, and his re- election seems to have increased the distaste of the Venezuelans at the conduct of the Executive Government, the seat of which was at a considerable distance from their province. The impeachment of Paez following upon this, presented, perhaps, an occasion rather than a cause for the declaration against Santander's government. Paez and the Venezuelans have not proclaimed their separation, and refer their complaints to Bolivar for his arbitration, with abun dant professions of respect and submission, probably sincere on the part of many, as Bolivar- is a native of Venezuela, which was the first scene of his exertions and his glory. It ap- pears that by the Constitution of* Colombia, a convention of the departments is appointed to be held in 1831, in order to consider of any changes which experience may shew to be desirable. This Paez and the Venezuelans desire to have accelerated. In the mean time " every thing," they say, " which is not inconsistent with the step we have taken, shall remain a3 before." A Commissioner has been dispatched to Bolivar, and his arrival in Colombia must be looked for with anxiety.— Globe. FROM EL COLOMBIANO. Caraccas, May 20.— Yesterday evening arrived in Caraccas his Excellency General Paez, accompanied by the Members of the Il- lustrious Municipality, and a very numerous and respectable body of the inhabitants. The air resounded with shouts of " Viva la Republica !" " Viva Bolivar!" " Viva Paez !" Immediately on the arrival of his Excellency, the following proclamation was issued : " INHABITANTS OF VENEZUELA, " The free voice of the people has conferred on me the charge of the supreme command of the civil and military administration. Un- mindful of my personal situation, the state of the country alone de- mands my attention. Our enemies congratulate themselves on this event, and presume us to be once more in their power. They de- ceive themselves, and will find us as ready to repel them as we have ever been. Self- preservation is the supreme law. This it is that lias dictated to us the measures which we adopt, and which are recorded in the Municipal Acts. The police will be informed of all through the medium of the press. Meanwhile it is sufficient to know that tlie laws reign, and that all guarantees shall be re- spected ; in a word, every thing which is not inconsistent with the step we have taken, shall remain as heretofore. The people were oppressed by a bad administration, and sighed for the remedy of their grievances. This very cause has afforded us the oppootnnity, and we have profited by it, seeking the remedy in the constitution itself. We are resolved to accelerate the moment appointed for the grand convocation, which was to have taken place in 1831. The Liberator and President shall be onr arbitrator and mediator, and he will not lend a deaf ear to the importunities oi his countrymen. Our peculiar situation calls us to arms. Threatened at one and the same time by our common enemy from abroad, and by the machinations of self- interested persons, we should be imprudent in the extreme if we did not assume a becoming attitud, " The power which you have conferred on me is not designed to oppress, but to protect you and secure your liberty. I shall always consult the opinions of sensible men, and execute their wise res0lves. " JOSE ANTONIO PAEZ. " Head- quarters in Caraecas, May 19, 1S26. The same number of the Colombiano contains the act of the Municipality of Caraccas, dated May 10, in consequence of the communication from General Paez, dated Valencia, the I2th This act recognizes the authority of Paez. It determines that commission shall be dispatched to Bolivar, begging him to visit hi: native country,' that he may use his influence with the other De- partments to convoke immediately the Grand Convention which the Constitution fixes for 1831, that the mode of effecting this reform iu brotherly love, aud avoiding the horrors of a civil war, may be taken into consideration by that Asssembly ; and that he may apply the great experience which he has acquired during the long perio;' in which lte has guided the destinies of a great portion of the Ameri- can world, in communicating to us lessons of prudence and wisdom, and become a teacher in the establishment of our institutions. The act declares it necessary to invest General Paez witll authority for the maintenance of public order and tranquillity, for raising armies for the defence of his country, and for preserving regularity in the administration. This authority he shall hold as long as circum- stances may require, under the title ef Civil and Military Chief of Venezuela.

The King appeared in the enjoyment of excellent health. The Duke of York's intended removal from Mr. Greenwood's villa, at Brompton, to proceed on a visit to the Duke of Rutland at Belvoir Castle, is postponed; his Royal Ilighness's present tempo- rary residence at Brompton being considered a very healthy spot, and where he has the advantage of being visited by his medical at- tendants. His Royal Highness rode on horseback on Saturday; the remainder of the day he gave his attention to military business with Sir Herbert Taylor, his Royal Highness's Military Secretary. There have been nearly 140 new members returned for England and Wales. The number of new members for Ireland are 35. On the whole we imagine there will be a greater number of new mem- bers than there was in the last Parliament. It appears that from the accession of Henry VIII. to the death of George III. we had sixty- five Parliaments, and that of these only four exceeded seven years in their duration, and only eight had a duration of six years ; no more than six lasted above five years ; two above four, two above three, and nine above two years ; and the remaining thirty- four did not any of them reach to the extent of two years. Taking one Parliament with another, the duration of each, including the long Parliament in the reign of Charles I. and the still longer of Charles II. did not exceed two years.

Mademoiselle Soimtag, the present Heroine of the Italian Theatre in Paris, has thrown the merits of Madame Pasta and Madame Feodore entirely in the shade.

Death of Earl Grey's Son.— The family of Earl Grey have been thrown into great affliction, in consequence of the sudden death of the Honourable Thomas Grey, his Lordship's fifth son. This youth was just fourteen years of age, and possessed of the most pro mising abilities. He was educated at Ripen, in Yorkshire ; but had recently removed to Leeds. About eight or ten days since, hi was playing with other youths, and had neglected to wear any hat or covering to the head. The excessive heat, in consequence, brought on a brain fever. His father was sent for, but so high was the fever that the son knew not the father nor any person about him, till a short time before his death, which happened on the fourth day of his illness. STATE OF TRADE.— We are extremely sorry to have to observe that there is at present a gloomy feeling amongst commercial men in this district, with respect to the condition of trade. On all sides we hear of mills being put to work shorter time, or altogether shut up, and nevertheless prices both of goods and yarn seem to get lower and lower. There have been, it is true, of late fewer insolvencies declared, but this is because most of the weaker houses had aheady suspended. The losses which even persons of the best property have been, and are experiencing, are, hovyever, mflst serious, and we fear that thete are yet many houses who will be tillable tu weather the storm. Up to this time there are no favourable symptoms ob- servable in business, and the prospect as regards the condition and employment of the labouring classes is, we regret to say, most dis- heartening.— Manchester Guardian. SHI?- BUII. TIINO. — Some idea of the magnitude of ship- building may be inferred from the following statement :— A first- rate man- of- war requires about 60,000 cubic feet of timber, and uses 180,000 llis. of rough hemp in cordage and sails. The ground on which the timber for a 74 would require to grow, would be fourteen acres, requires 3000 loads of rough timber, each load containing 50 cubical feet ; 1500 well grown trees, of two loads each, will cover 14 acres, at 20 feet asunder.

A quick sale, and prices much the same as last day. There were about 3000 Lambs; which sold from 6s. to 14s. A brisk ale, the prices less.

Glasgow Cattle Market.— There were only 127 fat cattle iu the market on Monday, but small as the supply was, it was fully ade- quate to the demand. A lot of bullocks, brought from the Lothi- ans, were iu excellent order, and the stock in general was in good condition. Ordinary beef brought from 6s. to 7s. aud best from 7s. to 8s. a stone English, sinking offals, or from 9s. to 10s. a stone tron, beef and tallow. There were 3930 sheep and lambs. Sheep met a pretty good sale among the country fleshers. Best cheviots • old from 30s. to 32s. and best black- faced wedders sold from 20s. to 23s. a head. Lambs were mostly in poor condition, and they sold from 3s. to 3s. 6d. but a few that were in good condition brought front 8s. to 10s. Glasgow Fair commenced on Wednesday, though less or more, in preparations and in other matters connected with it, it had been going on since Monday. It partakes of the spirit of the times.— More we cannot say in its favour. The Horse market was held in the Cattle Market, Graham's Square, Gallowgate, where it will in future be held in a large commodious market ( built for the pur- pose) adjoining. There was a very good supply of both saddle, coach and cart horses, but we understand that the business trans- acted was by no means such as was anticipated, the holders asking high prices, and the purchasers expecting them considerably lower. Upon the whole it was a dull market. Morpeth, July 12.— At our market to- day there was rather a short supply of cattle ; which sold readily at a little advance in price. Being a good many sheep and lanbs, they met with a dull sale, and prices rather lower. Beef, 5s. 9d. to 6s. 3d. per stone, sinking offal. Mutton, 5s. 6d. to 6s. 9d, Lamb, 6?. to 7s.

Matson, arrived from the coast of Africa, having been nearly four years on. that station, during which she lost three commanders,, by the fever cf that climate. She left Sierra Leone ou the 28th of May, bringing one of the Commissic- iei's of Inspection and Inquiry, who went out some months since. The rainy season has just com menced, but the ships were remarkably healthy. On Tuesday his Majesty's brig Alacrity, Captain George J. Hope Johnstone, arrived from Naples, whence she i tiled ou the 22d Ma;, bringing dispatches from Admiral Sir Harry Neal, who was about to sail in the Revenge, for Athens. The Sybille, 46, Sir Samuel Pechell, Bart, had proceeded thither. Captain Copelaud havin-; completed the tansy of both sides of the Straits of Gibraltar, and of the Harbour of Ccuta, would shortly sail for Malta, and, eventu- ally, to the Archipelago Islands, to survey them. The Alacrity sailed this afternoon to Woolwich, to be paid off. The Lords of the Admiralty have, we understand, made a grant of £ 1000 to Captain Hayes, of the Royal Navy, as their first com- pensation to him in consideration of the benefits he has rendered to his country by his scientific improvements iu Nival slop- building, as exemplified in the Champion sloop of war, and Arrow cutter. Permission has been given to Officers of the Roj- al Marine Corps, holding Brevet rank, to sell their Commissions, in the same way as was lately granted to the Arfny. Several of the senior Officers intended to embrace this mode of retiring from the service. The Swallow packet, Lieutenant Raldock, when about five hundred miles west of Scilly, on her return front Jamaica, on the 25th ult. fell in . with the ship Malta, of Liverpool, Captain Thomas Young, and supplied her with provisions and water, of which she was greatly in want. The Malta was then in possession of an ofli cer and some seamen of his Majesty's ship Brazen, Captain Willi*, who had detained her in consequence of her Captain having sold four females, wives of an African chief, as slaves.

HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, July 14. James Ilenfon and Andrew Puliation were pi,- teed at the bar, charged with highway robbery, ta which they pleaded not guilty. Sir. Coekbtirn, as Counsel for the prisoners, ( with whom was Mr. Cuilen), objected to the admission of the declarations 011 the ground of informality, and the objection was sustained by the Court. After the examination of witnesses, the LF> rd Advocate addressed the Jury on the part of the prosecution, and' Ut. Cockbnrn for the prisoners, who contended that there was uot legal proofio convict Renton. The Lord Justice Clerk recapitulated the evidence to the Jury at great length, who, after retiring fat 6 few minutes, unanimously found Fullarton gsiity, bit the libel against Rent ™ not proven. Lord Mackenzie, after some observations as to the nature of th- erm;", which ever hail been held as capital, proposed that the- im. fortunate voting man be executed at Edinburgh on Wednesday the 16th day of August, at the usual time and place. The Lord Justice Clerk, In addressing the pi isoner on the awful situation in which he was placed, earnestly advised him to enter- tain' no holies of mercy in this world. His Lordship adverted to the robbery for which Mitchell and Sharp were convicted, nod which was committed in the same parish about two years ago. In that case the prisoners, though sentenced to be executed, had their punishment commuted, in consideration of the circumstances of the assault being of the most trivial description; hut ih the present case the assault had been to the effusion of blood, and even with more horrible views. After directing the prisoner to call to his assistance the ministers of the gospel, his Lordship concluded by' pronouncing the awful sentence, ordaining him to be executed on Wednesday the 16th of August next. The appearance of the prisoners was very respectable, and their conduct mrofeghouttbe investigation of their pafnfal case was per- fectly decoious. Fullarton, whose countenance was mild and pre- possessing, heard his doom with fortitude and without a tear, but the big drops of perspiration that trickled down his cheeks told the anguish within his bosom. His more fortunate companion, who. burst into tears on leaving the Court, accompanied hhn to the coach, where they wrung each other's hands, amidst a piteous wailing of their friends. Monday the Coi> rt met, - tfhen Charles Lamond and John Smith- were placed at the bar, charged with wilfully and maliciously shoot • mg at William Stevenson and Richard M/ LacMan, officers of ex - cise, with intent to murder, or to maim, disfigure, or disable them in the ex- eeution of their duty : the first part of the charge being in contravention of the act G. Geo. IV. c. 1* 25, by which the crime is made capital, and punishable accordingly. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. William Ferguson, charged iu the same cri minal letters, was outlawed for not appearing. Mr. Jeffrey ( with whom was Mr. C. M'Dougal) said that tk* prisoner had no connection with the affray ; in fact that they were not present during any part of the transaction, but had no wit- | nesses to call in support of their averment. William Stevens'oii, officer of excise, stated that on the 25th of [ April, lie and Richard M'Laclilan proceeded to sdrvey the hills of Crathienaird and Lawsie, accompanied by George M'Hardy, . ground- officer to Mr. Farquharson of Invercauld. As they ap- proached the hills they saw a hut smoking*. When about ' 200 yards off it they saW two men run into it, and ten or twelve com.? round it. The two men fired each a shot. Witness's party were about 150 yards distant when they saw tfie other men come out, some of whom had^ uns, and others had sticks. When the shot ) were fired they thought it best to'retire to the road ; nine men pur- sued them, fired, gave a great halloo, ahd overtook them. Wit - ness counted fifteen shots before they were overtaken ; he heard the sound of the balls, and saw the ground broken by them two or three yards before him, and about eight, inches from his right side. Heard one of the men say, " take aim, aud shoot the They had their faces blackened, and some had their coats tumed- One of the men knocked witness down by throwing a stone at him, at which time M'Laelilan was '/ 0 or 80 yards before him. He observed the man particularly. George M'Hardie lifted witness up, and they travelled oh a few yards, when, three of the men came up, knocked him down agam- and kicked him scVertl tinier They attempted to make for the road, but the men continued to fire till they turned them from going in that direction,, aud told them if they went that road they would shoot them. Three met* had guns, who" did not come so close up'a^ the rest, and who lie saw load their pieces. The road witness wanted to go was the nearest to Crathie kirk ; the way the men wanted them to go was contrary. The witness detailed a long $> ntinu « ' d course of attacks upon him and Mr. M'Lachlan, accompanied by firing, during which a ball passed between^ tfeem when they Were not iriore than eighteen inches asunder, which struck the road. M'Havdy went off another road soon after the commencement of the assault. The men kept with them for three or four titles, and before leaving them they were <% ain knocked down and kicked. Both witness's name and M^ Laehlan's were frequently mentioned b}* t^ e men in au opprobrious' manner. They went abort a mile further, to Ogilvie's public- house, where they stopt all night. Witness's head bleeding and swelled, and he bruised about the body. A me- dic il person was sent for, but lie was not at hOibe. Tlvey walked home next day, and ou Friday witness was bled'By Dr. Robertson ; he was very little out the day after the assault, but was not incap- able of surveying from wh^ t had taken pfoce. On tbfc VSth of May witness recognised Lamornl among a number of other persons » t Ballater as one cf the persohs who struck him : he now identified him, bat could net speak ns to Smith, Who) however, was like one of thb men who ran to Mr. M'Lfichlan. Cross- examined by Mr. Jeffrey— On reaching Ogilvie's they h;; i half a ma?( ihkin of whisky and water with him ; they afterwards had son\ i* tea, and then went toT> M. Th- v walked home next d. n , a'distance oi" six or eight miles; was vorv littk- out that day, but surveyed hi' part every d. iV after. Richard M'L'ohhm was also examined at gfent 1- Tigtfc, hut hi , •: videui.- e, with triding exceptions, consisted of details of the tre: u- ment tie received, which was equally brlStal with that suftered by Stevenson, during which he was asked U " lse was not content with what begot last week?"—[ Alluding to a seizure of melt which be had made.}— He identified ixith the prisoners as two of the men, but neither of then) had guns. Lamond struck witness repeatedly ; he alto received some blows from Smith, but he « as f;. ito means so ba'J its I. amoiid; he threw stones but did not hit lum. Cross- etimined— Smith's coat was turned. It was Between 4 mil r> o'clock when tin y reached Ogilvie's inn. By the Court - Lamond was fully two hours near him, and Smith about, the same time. George JI'Hardy; an old man, gave his testimony very reluc- tantly, but generally his evidence was corroborative " of that of the two farmer; The men, whose fares were no blackened that no one Could know t^ ieni, did nothing more to him than tumble him over. He did not know any of the men on the hilt so as to be able to swear to them. Cross- examined.— Knows the prisoners quite well, but knew not if lie taw them on the hill that day ; he did not hear their voices, lie was so much afraid that he was nearly out of his judgment.— Their families might have had sheep on the hills, as they had a right of pasture there. Witness's party was a good while going up the hill, but a short time Coming down.—( A laugh.) Mr. Andrew Robertson, surgeon, read his report of the injuries received by Messrs. Stevenson and M'Lachlan, from which it ap- peared that the former lied a swelling on the side of his head about half rhe size of an egg, a large bruise on bis side, and was bruised on the back; he bled him- freely on the Friday: the latter was severely bruised, but not so bad as'Stevenson. The declarations of the prisoners were now read. L- imond's elated that he was engaged with his father's carts on the day lulled ou, and Smith's Stilted he was sure he was at home on that day, btc. inse he was always at home. The Lord Advocate said he should ptra from the statutory offence ,- md confine the case to assaulting and deforcing. It had always been his wish that such eases should be disposed of at the Circuits, but the present one was of so grave a nature that lie had thought proper to bring it before this High Court, and by speedy punish- ment, in the event of conviction, to restore that part of the country where the crimes were committed to that state of peace and quietness that was so desirable. This Was another instance of the baneful effect of that dangerous spirit called whisky, and from what they had that day heard of the attitude assumed by the persons engaged its preparation, it would appear that there was a determination to is- ist the officers of the revenue in the execution of their duty ; but - thiv would find that the strength of the law of the land and of the country would be too much ( br them, liis Lordship said he knew ( hat w hile his Learned Friend would do all lie eouhl for the benefit O: his Clients he Would join him in his condemnation of these prac t. ees, and he trusted that what was done there that day would have tfce effect of - putting them down. His Lordship in going through the evidence adverted to reports that prevailed, that the Factors in t if part of the country connived at illicit distillation ; he hoped it wes not so, as it appeared from the evidence that the respectable Factor to Mr. Farquharson did not connive, he having sent the • H itness Jl'Hardy to aid the officers in its detection. . That witness he did not think had given a fair evidence, whither from the in- Ifeence of fear, or otherwise he could not judge. Mr. Jeffrey expressed bis perfect agreement with the Lord Ad vocate in his condemnation of illicit distillation, and the evils at- tending rt, which the Learned Gentlemen reprobated in strong p irns. He entered on a lengthened and most ingenious defence of the prisoners, against one of whom, Smith, he said nothing was proved. Against Laniond he maintained that a verdict of condcnv nation could not be returned ou such evidence as had been adduced mid he trusted that the Jury would so specify their verdict that it would clear him of being concerned in that aggravated part of the transaction, which deserved the highest reprobation of. all; and which, if any of the shot had taken effect, would have merited the last punishment of the law. ' ihe Lord Justice Clerk, in opening his charge to the Jury, ex- pressed his approbation of the proper mode the Lord Advocate had adopted, in bringing the case before a Jury unconnected with. that part of the country where the crimes were committed. His Lord- ship went through the evidence with his usual minuteness and per. ipicuitv, and concluded by expressing his conviction that the Jury would return such a verdict as would satisfy their conscience* and th? country. The Jury retired for a short time, and returned a verdict of against Lamond, but theimel against Smith Not Proven. Lord Pitmilly said he had been present at many trials of a similar nature, but he never was present at a trial where the crime com- mitted was so very atrocious, or with such a total disregard to what might happen to- rhe safety of those they were* opposing, and what was worse than all, a total disregard to all law— as if acting in a country where there was no law to repress tliem, and prevent them from carrying their purpose into effect. It was impossible to allow a ls- rson convicted of such a crime to remain in this country, and the sentence he would propose was transportation, and that for no inconsiderable period. His Lordship therefore proposed the pui - llient of transportaion for fourteen years. Lord Mcadowbank concurred in the remarks made by Lord Plt- 11,',' iiy. Their sentence should Ik1 sueli as to prove that the law Was too powerial to be resisted by the lawless ; and teach that band- of lawless men that the law would overtake them, aud that punish- le. nr would follow. His Lordship was of opinion that fourteen uMrs' transportation was the least punishment that could be award, ed. Lord Allowev expressed his concurrence. The Lord Justice Clerk said, the prisoner Laniond had been nonvictcd, on the most satisfactory and conclusive evidence, of an attack on the officers of the revenue. He, with other fourteen f uilty associates, bad attacked tlie officers with lire- arms in open day, and it was not from any design of the aimers that the crime of murder was not committed, but by the interposition of Almighty and had death ensued, the prisoner would have stood in a very . different situation. His Lordship, in conclusion, sentence. Lamond ts fourteen years' transportation, and Smith, alter a suit artile admonition, was dismissed from the Bar. The Court tlien proceeded to the case of James M' Inioslt, lately clerk in the Post Office, Stirling, charged with feloniously opening staled mail bag*, and abstracting letters, which by the Act 62 tieo. HI. infers the penalty of death. The indictment contained three separate charges. The prisoner pleaded Guilty of once opening the Oban bag with intent to steal as libelled. The Lord Advocate passed from the orher charges in the indictment, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty in terms of his own confession. Mr. Jeffrey spoke iri mitigation of punishment, and read several m i tir'eates of the prisoner's previous good character, who was stated to be of respectable parents. The Learned Gentleman trusted that as much mercy would be shown to the prisoner as the ends of public justice would admit. ' Flu: Court was unanimous in swarding sentence of seven years' transportation, which was accordingly pronounced. . d. u.

It would have gratified us mucn to have been able to confirm the report in a London paper, of a valuable employment having been 1.. stowed on the Great Unknown. The late Mr. Bruce held the office of King's printer for - Scotland, in conjunction with Sir David Hunter Blair, by patent, which does not. terminate for thirteen Years, and for which period it was to be enjoyed by them, their heirs, executors, or assignees. On account of the shortness of the crop, a number of the mem hers of the East Lothian Agricultural Society have resolved not to allow the use of scythe hooks this season ; it is therefore requested ti. at all thtai'ers will supply themselves with the teethed ones. A salmon, weighing upwards of 50lb. was last week taken- in th, stake net at Courdon, near Bervie. On Wednesday last, a serious riot took place at Dumfries in con- sequence of a meaimonger, named Robert Clerk, having attempted; from the circumstance of the supply at the market not being ade- quate to the demand, to advance the price of his meal 2d per stoue.

In another )> art of this paper to- ill h'c fomiil. a Letter from PAEZ to BOLIVAK, justifying his revolt, and ex- tracts from the papers of Caraccas to the same purpose. These documents do not seem calculated to strengthen the cause of ihe insurgents: they contain vague allega- tions against the Vice- President, SA'NTANDER, and complaints, almost equally vague, on the inconveniences arising from the excessive centralization of . the govern- ment. General 1' A- KZ' broad charge, however, against tiie Vice- President", in his letter to BOLIVAR, is not supported l> y the distinct specification of a single abuse of the high trust reposed in that officer: and against this vagije, and Suspicious accusation are to be placed, tiie perfect confidence apparently reposed iu lnni by BOLIVAR, his election for a second time to the second situation in tlie republic, and the recent refusal of the Colombian senate to accept of his resignation. Be- tween BOLIVAR and SANTANDER, if we may judge from the public communications between them, there appears to exist the most perfect confidence and cor- diality. However extensive may be the views of the former, and however desirous he may be to aid person- ally in the consolidation of the other governments of the southern continent, it is not probable, that, even for this high object, he would have devolved the executive administration of Colombia on one unworthy of so dis- tinguished a trust. Almost equally vague are the complaints of the Ca- rnccasians, on the evils arising from the centralization of the government. The only instance of inconve- nience, specified bv them, is the delay in transmitting the certificates of reversal of two judgments of the Pro- vincial Court by the Supreme Court at Bogota— an evil, certainly; but as it is not denied that the reversals were sound, we should think that it was counterbalanced in the instance specified, by the award ( albeit dilatory) of substantial justice. We have formerly slated, that we entertain no djiibt that the ccntral system of Colombia must receive con- siderable modification; but we see nothing to justify the present appeal to arms for the purpose of obtaining this desirable object ;— and we trust that the revolt of PA EZ will, in the first instance, be put down by the vigour of the general government.

ABERDEEN: SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1826. SUMMARY OF POLITICS. DON PEDRO of Brazil, beset by the republicans of Buenos Ay res in the south, and his own rebellious sub- jects in the north, has bethought himself at last of his promise to grant his subjects a ne. v constitution. That war ai d rebellion are evils in themselves, we are not dis- posed to deny, but we are never Ipss inclined to regret them, than when they lead to so desirable a result. We fear, that the Brazilians would have had little chance of obtaining this valuable boon from the pledged faith and honour of the Emperor, seeing that these were some- what compromised by the unceremonious and wilful dis- solution of the National Assembly in 1823. On paper, the new Brazilian Constitution does not seem to differ materially from that which was adopted at the separation of Brazil from Portugal; and among its provisions are recognised, many of the most valuable principles of a free and limited monarchy;— but, as to the probable stability of these institutions, and the worth of the whole project, we are unfortunately left after all in the dark; because it so happens, that we are not distinctly informed on the most important feature of the whole, namely, the mode of election of the Re- presentatives of the Lower House. If we recollect rightly, that matter vtas satisfactorily settled in the former constitution, by the indirect, but almost univer- sal mode of suffrage adopted by most, if not all, of the new American states, and evidently borrowed from the Spanish constitution of 1812 and 1820; and it was the spirit and independence of the legislative body, the re- sult of the sound state of the franchise, which we ap- prehend was the simple secret that led to its violent dissolution in 1823. One thing is certain, that, by the new constitution, the Upper House will be substantially under the eontroul of the executive, and that for two obvious reasons ; first, that the senator holds his seat for life ; and secondly, that he is in fact appointed bv the executive, from triple lists furnished by the pro- vinces. These triple lists seem to be furnished by the (• lectins for the deputies, so that their, value, such as it may be, as a check on the influence of the crown in OHAEI. ES SMITH. E q. .

Smith, Jim. 1' q. merchant in Eeeehiii.^, Suddenly, on the 28th ult. deeply regretted, by a numerous and respectable eirele of acquaintances ALEXAVDEIT CA. UIIRON, Esq. Tacksman of Culcraigie. M From a statement of the appropriation of the Greek loan, it appears that a considerable part of it has gone to defray the expense of the ex]> ed; tion now on its way for the liberation of Greece. We never were able to join in the regret, so gene- rally expressed, that the Greeks have been left to work out their independence without the aid and interference of the Christian powers of Europe. Nor could we join in the ridicule which the liberal press of England at- tempted to cast on the remonstrances of the agents of' the American and French Philhellenic societies, when the Grecian authorities seemed, in despair, to throw themselves on the qompassioni of these powers. In the most desperate crisis of the affairs of Greece, we preferred the remotest chance of her achieving her own independence, to the certainty of her attaining a secure but degrade! existence, under the protection of the half- free states of European Christendom. No project can be more interesting to the philanthropist, the scholar, ( lie philosopher, or the wan of taste, than that of establishing a liberal and representative government in that country, which seems destined, for the second time, to be the light and regenerator of Europe, whose soil and climate seem, above all others, calculated to develope both the physical and intellectual powers of the human species— which possesses the most glorious recollections of an- tiquity— which is'the birth place of science, art, and literature— whose every spot is sacred to the illustrious dead. Vet freedom, turbulent and ill regulated as it was, under the ancient Greek democracies, was the true source of tlkeir superiority ; and we can conceive of no object comparatively more worthless and insignificant, than such a pacification of the troubles of Greecc as shall, in place of emancipating her, minister t6 the cupidity of two or three of the powers of Europe— givi. ig a province here to Russia, and there to Austria — and placing the islands, and perhaps the Morea, under the protection of that mockery on all free govern- ment, the republic of the Ionian islands. We repeat, that there never liaS been a crisis in the affairs of Greece so desperate, that we did not cling to the chance of her independence, in preference to so paltry a eon- summation as this of her heroic efforts. How gratifying then is it to find, that there is at last a rational prospect of this noble work being accom- plished, and that under a leader than whom there is perhaps no man living more fit for conducting it to a happy issue— for he is not more distinguished for his bravery than his love of liberty. With all the courage and energy of NELSON, Lord COCHRANE is perhaps more than his equal in military science, and is devoid of his political prejudices. He, we are confident, will not lend the sanction of his name to any compromise of the honour and independence of Greece. The precise destination of this expedition seems to be still unknown. If, in our ignorance, we were to hazard a conjecture cm this point, we would venture to predict, that Lord COCHRANE'S first object would be the de- struction of the Egyptian fleet;— having thus cut off the supplies of the Egyptian forces, he might leave them to be disposed of by the Greeks— proceed to blockade Alexandria— force the Pacha into terms— and return to carry the war into Turkey. The important revolution at Constantinople, which, has ended in the annihilation of the Janissaries, however it might ultimately lead to the improvement of the dis- cipline of the Turkish forces, or the consolidation of the Turkish government, must, for some time, weaken and distract the councils of the Porte, and will, we trust, further rather than retard the emancipation of Greece. BIRTH. On the 15th July, at Pittrichie House, Mrs. MACKENZIE, of a still- born daughter. MARRIAGES. At Aberdeen, on the 18th inst. the Rev. Mr. BULMER of Ber- wick, to JANE, daughter of the late Mr. Alex. Scott. At Mountpleasant, in the parish of Dyke, near Forres, on the 6th inst. by the Rev. Mark Aitkin, minister of Dyke aud Mnv, MATTHEW ADAM, Esq. A. M. Rector of the ltoyai Academy of Inverness, to Miss ELLEN MOFFAT ATKINSON, only daughter of the late William Atkinson. Esq. of Rural Retreat, in the parish of St. Ann's, Jamaica. DEATHS. At her house in Guestrow, on the29th ult. Mrs. ROBERT LoMsnur. At Barnby Moor, on the 9th inst. the Right Honourable LADY SALTOCN. Her Ladyship was suddenly taken ill whilst travelling, and afterwards expired in a fit of apoplexy, supposed to have been brought on by an injudicious use of the warm bath. Her Ladyship died without issue, in the 51 st year of her age. She was the eldest daughter of the late Lord Chancellor Thurlow. On Wednesday her remains were'renwved from the Bell Inn to Tliorne, to be con'-" veyed by water to the burial place of the family, in this county. At Troup House, on the 10th current, FRANCIS GARDEN CAMPBELL of Troup and'Glenlyon, in the 35th year of bis age. On t'oe 12fh July, at Manse of Oyne, in the 19th year of his age, ATHOL, eighth son of the Rev. Alex. Cushny. At Aberdeen, on the 16th inst. aged 73 years, deservedly re- gretted, Mr. GEOIIGE ALLAN, Nelson Street, late farmer at Pilta- chie, parish of Ellon. On the 3d July, at bis house in London, Mr. DESKI- ORD GRANT, eldest son of the late Rev. Robert Grant, minister of Cullen, aged 65. At Mill of Aberlour, on the 7th inst. aged 70, Mr. SAMUEL CRAIK, who for MpwawJs of 50 years filled the office of school- master of that parish. Ilis modest merit, extensive benevolence, and inflexible integrity, secured hiin the friendship and esteem of all around him, by whom his loss will be deegK' felt, and long regret- ted. On Ihe li> ih I'. kv. r. ry, at Calcutta, m the C' 8th vcar af his aftff, The weather has, during this week, completely changed its tern- \ perature as from the excessive heat under which we sutKycd, it ivas j since become uncoiumoi. ly cold, since Monday in particldav, when the wind suddenly shifted to the northward. Ou Thursday, the wind veered to the south- eastward, accompanied with drizzling va. hu which came to tall very heavy during' the night, continuing until yesterday, at noon, in great abundance* The thirsty iields must be much benefited by such a ' copious rain, the pasture aiul- secwd grass crop in particular, while the grain crop must also be in no small de- gree improved. We are sorry to learn, that about Fraserburgh, and the sur- rounding district, the crops generally have suffered very much from the drought— some iields so much vhafc it will be dUikult to reap them. . In the neighbourhood of Peterhead, and in St. Fergus, the crops will, although short iu fodder, afford a fair average of grain. Upon Thurs< lay last,. Mr. Stevenson cut a lie Id ot oats on his farm of Upper Balfour of Durris. JOHN FARQUHAR, ESQ. The funeral of this distinguished character took place on Thurs- day the 13th inst. in St. John's Wood Chapel, and was attended l> y his relatives, and by a numerous body of respectable relatives : he was in his 77th year. It is now ascertained that he died in- testate, and the heritable property, it is said, will be divided be- tween Mr. James Mortimer, of this place, and Mr. Fraser, a soli- citor in London, and the personal property among all tlw relatives. It has been stated, that Mr. F. hail been returned a Member of the new Parliament, for the Irish burgh of Port. irlington ; but- this is not the fact, James Farquhar, iSst]. of Johnston,, formerly repre-- seritative for this district of burghs, is the new member, and has- represented Portarlington ever since the death of Mr. Kicardo, of whom he was one of the trustees. The system of depredation continues, when any favourable oppor- tunity presents itself; and this week afforded some fresh examples, as, on different days in the early part of k, some sheets, clothes, & c. were stolen from the bleach greens near the canal, where the utmost vigilance is required, to prevent the light fingered tribe from shewing their dexterity. Extraordinary Gooseberry.—- la a gentleman's garden on the Denbuvn, there was pulled, the other day, a. Gooseberry, of the white kind, called Wellingtonys Glory ; which measured one inch and a half in length ' r 3 § inches in circumference ; and weighed 282 grains : the weight of the pulp being 261 grains, and t he skin only 21. For the last two weeks, there have been abundance of herrings off Peterliead and Boddatn ; but as there are no curers settled there, the fishermen have not caught them.. It is likely that this fishery will become of more importance after the light- house on Buchan- ness is finished, as it is well known that the Dutch have uniformly made their best fishing off the Buchanness. We learn from Elgin, that on Monday the 10th current, General Duff, the Member for the Elgin district of Burghs, accompanied by his brother the Earl of Fife, and Sir William Elliott, Bart, paid a visit to their friends in that burgh. They were met about a mil ® from Elgin, by the magistrates and council— by the six incorporat- ed trades— by the Kihnolymock Lsdge of masons, and by a numer- ous and respectable assemblage of inhabitants. With this proces- sion the noble visitors entered the town, amidst the waving of flags, the discharge of fire arms, and the sound of music. On the fol- lowing day, General Duff entertained upwards of 100 gentlemen, including the Provost, Magistrates, and Town Council, at dinner in the masons new rooms ; many loyal toasts were given, ami tiie evening spent in the greatest conviviality. The company separated at a late hour, highly gratified with the hospitality of their gallant chairman. William Sinclair of Freswiek, Esq. has been pleaded to present the Rev. William Milne, preacher of the Gospel at Wick, to the church and parish of Canisby, in the Presbytery of Caithness, va- cant by the dearh of their late worthy pastor, the Rev. James Smith. HERRING FISHERY—- We are much gratified at observing the continually increasing interest which th § fishing on the coast of Caithness has excited among the fishermen in distant parts of the kingdom. This morning a fleet of ten fishing vessels - passed through the Caledonian Canal, at Clachnaliarry, from St. Ives in Cornwall, on their way to prosecute the fishing - on the coast of Caithness. They had been five weeks on their passage.— hwerness Courier. Tnverury 15th July.— The Treasurer of the Coal Fund of this burgh, has this day received from Messrs. Maberly & Co. manu- facturers, the sum of 13s. Gd. being the balance of a Sue awarded by the sitting Magistrate, after defraying expenses, against one of their winders, for embezzlement of yarn in her charge, which they are resolved, in future, to punish with the utmost severity of the kw. The Cattle Markets at inverury on Tuesday ; and St. Sair's Fair, on Wednesday last, we are sorrry to say, exhibited no im- provement in price., nor any increased demand ? at the same time, that the scarcity of pasture compelled mmy to make sales, at rates which must prove ruinous to the feeder : in some eases, we under- stand, that beasts iniole. able condition did not bring above 2d. per lb. on average. .? .. The Inhabitants of St< n: haven, to mark their sense df the con- duct of Mr. FARQUIIARSON of Finzean, ori the occasion of com- mencing their harbour improvements, have presented him w- ith an elegant gold snuff- box, made by one of the ti/ st jewellers iu Lon- don, bearing the following inscription : — Presented to ARCHIBALD FARQUHARSON of Finzean, Esquire, M. P-. BY ' The Inhabitants of Stonehaven, In acknowledgment of the obligation he conferred on that place by laying the foundation of its New Harbour, l lth March, 1826. The ballot and inrolrnent of the Local Militia is suspended for a year after the 16th July inst. DRUMLJTHIE.— JAMES SMITH, Innkeeper, Drumlithie, suc- cessor to J. BRAND, gave an entertainment to a very respectable body of his friends in that neighbourhood on Monday last. About one hundred persons sat down to supper, which was excellent, a fair specimen, we may suppose, of Mr. Smith's usual good cheer. After supper, for those who preferred to trip it oh tiie light fantastic toe," musicians were in readiness ; while they who chose rather to prce ate a at the barley Iree, were well supplied with that commodiry, so that while tasting the sweets of ' last " year's bounty, the farmers seemed to forget their present lirsled foicrws. After a night spent in the most jovial good humour, the gwests tool, their leave at an early hour in the morning. ABERDEEN CORN MARKET, JULY 2!, 182<>.
