NOTICES OF THESE WORKS. " An able introduction dwells on the danger of too great a depreciation of agricultural produce, and furnishes much valuable and original information on the subjects most interesting to landlords and tenants."— Litcrary Gazette, Aug. 1828. " It is a single volume, which contains a mass of information of the most valuable nature, being, in fact, an epitome of the practice of all the chief agricultural districts in lingland, Scotland, and Wales."— Farmer" » Journal, Aug. 1828, " interesting not only to the landowner and farmer, but where such matters are under legal investigation, by suggesting important questions, it is calculated greatly to promote an expeditious and equitable decision."— Times, Sept. 1828. In the present state of the British wool grower, their remarks on that important subject will be read with deep interest. Indeed, whether we regard them as historians, staticians, or as advocates of the flock masters, we are bound to declare that their statements are all given with the utmost impartiality, & c.; and strongly recommend a perusal of the book itself to every one interested in the wool question."— BiUlsh Farmer's Magazine.

BUTLER'S FLUID EXTRACT OF JAMAICA SA. RSAPARILLA— FOR MAKING THE DECOCTION. SARSAPARILLA has of late years been much used, and with great success, as an alterative in Scrofulous Affections, Scurvy, and the most obstinate Cutaneous Diseases, and is considered by eminent Surgeons of the present day as the very best Medicine for re- establishing the Constitution after it has undergone the effects of Mercury. Th « Medicinal properties of the plant reside entirely in the Bark of the Root— a Decoction of which, when properly made, ( which is rarely the case, from want of time aud conveniences) is esteemed the most eligible form for its exhibition ; but is, when most carefully prepared, subject to objections :— it will not keep good tor more thau two ot three dnys, and the quantity required to be taken renders it almost importable, and a serious inconvenience when a person is not stationary in the same place. But this Fluid Extract contains all the properties of the Root, in a very condensed slate— will keep for any length of time, and wiih it, the Patient, in one minute, may make a Decoction of any strength, by the simple addition of water. It is put up in 4s. 6d., 0d., and 20s. Bottles, and sold by the Preparers, Messrs. Butler and Co., Chemists, 73, Prince's Street, Edinburgh ; and ( authenticated with their name and address in the label which is affixed to each Bottle) may be obtained of the Principal Medical Establishments and Druggists throughout Scotland.

To be SOLD by public roup, within the Royal Exchange Coffeehouse, Edinburgh, on Wednesday the 14th day of October, at two o'cloek afternoon ( if not previously disposed of by private bargain), THE ESTATE of OAKFIELD and LOCHGILPHEAD, including the FEU DUTIES of Lochgilphead and others, and consisting of 6947 imperial acres, whereof 1000 acres are arable, 5250 pasture, 560 natural and planted wood, 137 water, roads, and other waste ground, on which no rental is put. The present rental is upwards of £ 2300 pur annum ; but it has been lately estimated by a skilful aud experienced valuator considerably higher. The soil of bo'fh arable and pasture land is of good quality, the woods are properly inclosed and drained, and are in the most thriving state. The mansion- house is large and commodious, beautifully situated, and commanding an extensive view of the Bay of Lochgilp, Lochfine, Arran, and the coasts of Cowal and Kintyre. The offices are suitable, and adapted to the purposes ol the domestic and farming es. tablishment. The gardens are completely sheltered, and are early an il productive. Part of the wood atound the mansion- house consists of very large old trees of great value as timber. Lochgilphead, forming part of the estate, is a large populous, and thriving post town, where the London mail arriies on the evening of the thiid day. The distance from Inveraray, the county town, is 22 miles, by an excellent road, and also by steam conveyance. There isdaily communication with Greenock, Glasgow, and intermediate ports, by steam boats from these towns to Lochgilphead, I nveraray, and to other parts of the more northern and western Highlands and Islands. There are regular steam boats Irom Greenock to Liverpool, by which the passage is made in about 20 hours. The thriving village of Ardrisaig surrounds the basin of the Crinan Canal at its east entrance, about the centre of the esiate, through which tbe canal passes for upwards of three miles. The lands are well stockcd with a variety of game, consisting of Grouse, Blackgame, Partridges, Hoe Deer, and Hares, and several lakes and rivers in the estate and in the neighbourhood afford good fishing. The whole lands are out of lease in 1830. so that a purchaser has it then in his power to make such arrangements with regard to the division of farms or otherwise, as may suit his own taste and convenience. The teinds are valued and exhausted. The estate affords three F'reehold Qualifications. It is unnecessary in an advertisement of this kind to enlarge farther on the well known advantages of this estate, jf which a full description, along with lithographic copies of the plan, rental, & c. are in the hands of Mr A. Connell, W. S. Edinburgh ; David Caldwell, Esq. Golden Square, London ; Hugh M'Corquodale, Esq. LANDS IN WIGTONSHIRE. To be SOLD by public roup, within the Royal F^ xchange Coffeehouss of Edinburgh, upon Wednesday, 2d December 1829, at 2 o'clock afternoon, if not previously sold by private bargain, TUiE LANDS of MAINS of GARTHLAND, LANDS of BLAIRS, and part of LOCHAN'a MILL LANDS. They lie contiguous, and extend to about 900 English acres, of which between 50 and 60 are planted ; the wood, about 12 acres, around the Castle and Garden, is of full grown timber and mar. y very fine trees; the other plantations are in belts, mostly above 30 yeais old, which completely enclose above 100 acres, and give shelter to a much wider extent. This property lies in the southinost part of Scotland, neaily in the latitude of Durham; it is about an equal distance, of three miles only, from Stranraer on Lochryan, and Bay of Luce, so has ready communication for export and import. The lands are all arable, and the greatest part of very fine soil, with a southern exposure. There are several large meadows, or alluvial holms, with command of water, suitable for irrigation. The parks around the house and about 400 acres more have been lor many years set annually in pasture, and are of very rich quality. The leases of most of the remainder are also now expired, so the whole property is fitted and ready for the most modern system of improvement. The old Castle, bearing a very ancient date, and adjoining dwelling- house, that of 1637, were both newly fitted up within less than 30 years ago, and are in good condition, consisting of a dining room, drawing room, kitchen, and five bed rooms, besides garrets, and the large vaulted hall of the Castle, which might all be fitted up for farther accommodation. The whole lands are held of subjects superiors, at trivial feu duties, with duplication only, at entry of heirs or singular successors. The teinds are valued and nearly exhausted. The old valuation is only £ 283 Scots, so the public burdens are moderate. A F'reehold Qualification in Superiority can also be sold if required. A considerable part of the price may remain for some time with the purchaser, if wished for, on the security of the estate. For farther particulars application may be made to Vans Hathorn, W. S.

VALUABLE ESTATE, WITH FREEHOLD QUALIFICATION IN THE COUNTY OF FORFAR, FOR SALE, UNDER JUDICIAL SEQUESTRATION. No Auction Duty. To be SOLD by public roup, widiin the Royal Exchange Coffeehouse, Edinburgh, ou Wednesday the 18ih day of November 1829, T H E LANDS and BARONY of BALMAX DIES, in the parish of Rescobie and county of Forfar, containing 813 Scots acies, or thereby, of which the whole are araDle, with the exception of about 100 acres of wood. This estate is situated five miles from Forfar, the county town, eight from Arbroath, 15 from Dundee, 14 from Montrose, and seven from Brechin. There have been built within these few years an elegant mansionhouse, fit to accommodate a genteel family, with a complete set of offices. The mansion- house commands beautiful views of the vale of Lunan and surrounding rising grounds, and the German Ocean is seen from the upper story. There is a fine approach from tbe north, with a porter's lodge at the turnpike road from Forfar to Arbroath, and another approach from tile west, with a porter's lodge at the road leading to Dundee. The garden contains one Scotch acre within the walls, which are from 10 to 14 feet in height, and is Well stocked with fruit trees. Attached to it are two orchards, containing about 1J acres, and a considerable part of the pleasure ground is tastefully laid out in shrubberies and gravelled walks. The mansion- house, offices, garden, orchards, lawn, and avenue, which occupy about 20 acres, are so enclosed with a ring fence as not to interfere with the farm roads or fields. The estate comprehends three farms and several pendicles. On the Mains Farm, whicn contains about 300 acres, is a substantial and commodious steading ( built at the same period with the mansion- house, which is situated on it), containing a thrashing- mill driven by water. This farm has been in the possession of the proprietor for several years, in which time it has been enclosed and subdivide with excellent stone dykes and thriving thotn hedges, and has been much improved by draining and good husbandry. Attached to the steading is a site lor a farmhouse. The Farm of Chapelton contains about 215 acres, and that of Milldens about 100 acres. Both are let to substantial tenants, and possess good steadings, and the soil of all ihe three farms is adapted for raising green or while crops, and is particularly sound for stock. Besides these farms, theie is a Flour- Mill of a very superior description, built in 1825, upon the Lunan VYatet, with about 15 acres of laud attached to it; ihe whole possessed by a good tenant. There is a number of pendicles, from 3 to 20 acres each, possessed by tenants. The woods occupy about 100 acres, and are from five to twenty years old. In hollow cavities near the Loch of Balgavies there is a great supply of marl and peat moiss. The property abounds with game, and the two streams, the Lunan and Vinney, which forni the northern ar. d southern boundaries of tiie property, are trouting streams. The turnpike road from Forfar " to Arbroath passes through the csiate. The new projected load from Dundee to Brechin, and the proposed railway from Arbroath to Forfar, will both pass conveniently through the property. The present rental of the esiate, at a fair estimate of the Mains, is about £ 1200. The public burdens are moderate, and the teinds are valued and exhausted. The whole of the lands hold of the crown, and afford a freehold qualification. The Grieve at Balmadies will show the property and point out the boundaries. Particulars, with lithographic plans, will be furnished, and any information given, by William Paul and Lindsay Mackersy, accountants, 17, Howe Street, Edinburgh ; Baxter and Malcolm, writers, Dundee; or James Bei.- net, W.

This article is stated to be to the following effect :— " That the Porte shall recognize not only the treaty of London of 6th of July, but also the protocol of March 22, and to engage to assent to the extension of the boundaries of Greece to the Gulfs of Volo and Arta." This stipulation by no means accords with the instructions of the two Ambassadors, and they therefore exert themselves to the utmost that the arrangements to be made respecting Greece may be left to be settled at the conferences at London. From the Porte Sir R. Gordon could only obtain the declaration that it wishes the Greek question to be settled at London, and leaves the fate of Greece to be discussed there, provided the Russian General gives his consent. We are now impatient for the next accounts from Constantinople, and do not doubt that peace is at hand. The other more important points are said to be the demolition of all the Turkish fortresses on the left bank of the Danube. ( The remainder of this article, respecting the cessions in Asia, the payment of the indemnity, & c. coincides with the statements received through other channels.) The Turkish fortresses to be demolished are, Ghiurgevo, Kale, Tournoul, and Ibrailovv, which being on the left hank of the Danube are to be incorporated with the principalities on which they are situated. A L L E G E D SMUGGLING. ( From the Times.) In the present very irrritated state of public feeling, both in this country and France, on the state of trade, it is iff vast importance to make known as soon as possible, the steps which are taking to bring to light the nefarious smuggling transaction on which the French journals are so justly indignant. Ten bales of goons addressed to the British Ambassador in Paris at one time ! Why, if Lord Stuart de Rothsay were ignorant of their coming ( as no doubt he was), and they had reached his house, his Lordship must have stared somawhat like one of those people in London, in whose name cards of invitation had been surreptitiously issued, when the unexpected guests arrived by hundreds. His Lordship must have barred his gates, assembled his servants, and called in the gens- d'armerie to repel the prodigious caravansera from his tranquil abode. We have said it is of vast importance that the steps which are taking should be made public with all convenient dispatch, for we speak with confidence that " steps must be taking." The Duke of Wellington and the Earl of Aberdeen are men of too high minds to suffer the name of their Ambassador, the representative of their Sovereign, to be used for a traffic in which the basest of mankind only. are engaged.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY. WARSAW, September 36.— A dispatch from General Count Diebitsch Sahalkausky announces, that on the 1 4JIli instant, a definitive treaty ol peace was signed at Adrianopte, between the Plenipotentiaries of his Majesty the Emperor and those of the Sultan. W ARSAW, September 28.— We have learned, from an authentic source, the following particulars of the circumstances which immediately preceded the conclusion of peace :—" In order to remove as far as possible the objections which the Turkish Plenipotentiaries charged with the negociations at Adrianople appeared latterly to oppose to the definitive conclusion of the treaty of peace, and in the well- founded apprehension, that in case General Diebitsch should find that the time which he had positively fixed was suffered to elapse without effect, the inevitable consequence would be the advance of the army against the capital, M. Von Royer, Prussian Ambassador to the Porte, resolved, at the express desire of the Sultan, and the urgent request of the Ambassadors of England and France, to embark without delay for Rodosto, and thence to proceed to the head- quarters of General Diebitsch, to remove the difficulties. His exertions essentially contributed to the signing of the treaty of peace within the time given to the Porte." 1' ERA, Sept. 10.— Ever since the Sth inst., when an express from the Turkish Plenipotentiaries at Adrianople brought dispatches to the Porte relative to the progress of the negociations, all the Turkish and European Ministers have been in motion, and the diplomatists betray an uneasiness, which will scarcely be calmed till the return of M. Von Royer, who, after a long conference with Sir Robert Gord n and Count Guilleminot, set out on the 8th, in the evening, for the Russian head- quarters. It seems that the terms demanded by Russia are the cause of all this bustle; the Turkish Plenipotentiaries, though furnished with unlimited powers from the Sultan, would not venture, before they had received farther instructions, to put their names to a treaty, the fulfilment of which they conceived to be impossible, because the payment of forty- eight millions of Turkish piastres for the indemnity of Russian subjects, stipulated by the treaty of Akermann, is t6 be made immediately on the ratification of the treaty of peace, and General Dieliitsch has declared that the Russian army shall remain in its present positions till the payfnent is' made. The Turkish Plenipotentiaries hud succeeded in obtaining a delay of ten days to procure fresh instructions, which have now been sent to thein, with directions to sign the treaty, and to dcelare to General Diebitsch that he will not refuse his ratification, and that he expects from the generosity of the Emperor conditions which he will be able to fulfil. M. Von Royer soems to have gone to the Russian head- quarters, at the desire of the French and English Ambassadors, in order to ob- Ijjfn from General Diebifsch a modification of the demand of 48 millions of piastres immediately on the ratification of the treaty, so that one- third only should bo paid immediately, and the remainder in certain intervals. At the same time lie is to endeavour to obtain an important alteration iu one L O N D O N , O C T O B E R 9. We have reason to believe that the arrival of his Majesty at Brighton will take place between the 12th and 15th instant. A detachment of Life Guards ( we believe the 1 st), is expected on the 12th ; and Sir Herbert Taylor is understood to have been at the barracks with Col. Thackwell, ofthe I5th Hussars, on Saturday, arranging for the quarters and duties of the Guards, anil of the King's escort The Guards are to do the town duty, and the 15th are to be in more immediate attendance upon the King. — Brighton Gazette. It is undeistood that his Majesty is to hold a Council at Windsor on Monday next, when the Recorder's report will be received. A Cabinet Council was held at two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon at the Foreign Office, summonses for the assembling ot which were issued on Sunday afternoon. The Ministers remained in deliberation during three hours and a half. In the evening the Cabinet Ministers re- assembled at the residence of the Duke of Wellington in Downing Street, where his Grace entertained his colleagues to dinner. Viscount Melville was the only member of the Cabinet absent. His Lordship being at present in Scotland. A Cabinet Council was held at half past two o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign Office, Downing Street, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earls Bathurst, Rosslyn, and Aberdeen, Lord Ellenborough, Mr Secretary Peel, Sir George Murray, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr Herries, and Mr Vesey Fitzgerald. The Council sat in deliberation till past six o'clock. The Earl of Aberdeen entertained the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earl Bathurst, and most of the Cabinet Ministers, to dinner in the evening, at Argyle House. It is said in the best informed military circles, that on the demise of the Earl of Harrington, Colonel of the first regiment of Life Guards, the command of the regiment was offered, by an illustrious personage, to his Royal Highness the Duke of Camherland, who declined the offer, observing, at the same time, that in consequence of the attachment his late King and father had for the regiment of royal horse guards, when it was called the Oxford Blues, which he had at present the honour to command, he should most certainly decline the proffered exchange.— Morning paper. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY.— The G e n e r a l S t e am Navigation Company's packet, the Earl of Liverpool, arrived at the Custom- house, London, on Wed nesday se'ennight, in thirteen hours and a half from Ostend, bringing information of a most extraordinary robbery having been committed at Brussels a few days previous. The Princess of Orange had been robbed of all her jewels, amongst which, it is said, an amethyst necklace of the value of L 80,000 sterling, given to her by her late brother, the Emperor Alexander, was the most valuable. The loss is stated to be about 1.- 180,000. A most rigid search was made, and the persons of the passengers on board the Liverpool strictly examined on embarkati in. The proprietor of the Omnibus, which runs between Hammersmith and Somerset House, has issued bills, in which he announces that a reading lamp has been provided for the accommodation of the passengers, and that the doors of the carriage are made wide enough to admit fashionable bonnets without danger of crushing. After such aii announcement ( which is a fine illustration of national character, as to the taciturnity of English travellers, and at the same time a gallant devotedness to the fair sex), he cannot lack patronage. Pheasant shooting commenced oil Thursday last, and the day proved exceedingly favourable for the sport. Although the late had weather has of course injured many of the young birds, yet the pheasants are not so scarce in proportion as the partridges Bath Chronicle. BURNING OF WIDOWS IN INDIA.— At a late meeting of the India House proprietors, the chairman, in answer to a question put by a proprietor, said he was happy to inform the court that the practice of burning widows in India was not only oil the decrease, but that the Indian Government was most anxious to do away with it entirely. ( From the Courier.) AVhat are the real facts of the transaction as far as our Ambassador is concerned, and the real feelings of our neighbours upon the subject ? We shall take them from a letter published in the Moniteur by Monsieur David, " Administrator of the French Customs," who ought to know something upon the matter. This g. ntleman says, that the Administration of the Customs would have taken no notice of the incorrect representation of facts, given by the Propagateurs du Pas Calais ( the journal that first mentioned the case), " because the declamations, by which it is accompanied, showed, that the writer was odly in want of a text of any kind to vent them forth," had not the British Ambassador viewed the thing more seriously, and " demanded, that the truth should be made known." In consequence of this demand, the Administrator adds, ' I t is, therefore, my duty to declare, that as soon as Lord Stuart de Rolhsay learned that the cases which he expected frem England, and which were to contain books and articles of saddlery, were of a shape and weight which belied the declaration of the conductor, he insisted on their being visited, and having ascertained that they contained prohibited goods, he repudiated the envoy, and left them to the officers of the Customs to dispose of as they thought proper. His Lordship had no steps to take with any of the Ministers, and it was the Administration of the Customs which ordered the re- exportation of the goods, as a measure equally consistent with decorum and justice. This decision was adopted on the 27th of last July, and if it were not carried into effect before the 22: 1 of September, it was because the goods remained under sequestration till means should have been prepared to insure their reexportation." Mr David then repels, in the following words, and with the indignation of an honourable mind; an insulting insinuation of the Propagateur, directed against a still higher character, and, in doing so, reveals one of those traits of plain acting and straightforward integrity which abound in the history of the British Hero :— " I have also a right to defend the Prime Minister of England. No, it is not the Duke of Wellington who will request, ' as a mark of courtesy,' that the abuse of the privilege of Embassies be tolerated : for his Grace, in 1817. having received in Paris some cases which had been conveyed to him without being visited, sent them back of his own accord to the Custom House, in order that they might he confiscated, because they contained objects foreign to his service." COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. ( Prom the Times.) The comedv of the Clandestine Marriage was acted at this theatre last evening, when Mr Jones, who has been playing with considerable applause in Edinburgh, made his first appearance here as Lord Oglebv. The character is one which, having been played by actors who acquired great reputation in it, possesses a sort of traditional importance, to which nothing but the tradition entitles it. Whatever may have been its merit formerly, it has so little similarity with the manners of the present day, that the humour is wholly lost; and although old coxcombs have always abounded, and will never cease to abound, the old coxcombs we see are no more like the Lord Ogleby of the comedy than the wax work figures in Westminster Abbey are like the living personages supposed to be represented by them. It is, for this reason perhaps, one of the least, promising that an actor' whose object it is to recommend himself to a London audience could choose; and although Mr Jones evinced unquestionable talent in it, we think he would have been better received in many others. He played it extremely well— with great judgment, and evincing a very competent knowledge of his profession ; but we must wait until we see him in some other character before we shall be able to pronounce a satisfactory opinion on his real merit. He is, we should suppose, if not a young man, at least far on the more juvenile side of such an age as Lord Ogleby is supposed to bear. His efforts to represent senility were not very successful; and while he affected the gait and speech of an infirm person, the full voice and alert step which are more natural to him, not unfrequentlv betrayed themselves, and of course, destroyed the illusion. We are quite prepared to believe that he is a good actor ; and while we do not think he played Lord Oglehy well, we think it more than probable that he will play other and more worthy parts infinitely ^ better. TIIE EAST INDIA NAVAL SERVICE. The investigation, which has for some weeks past been going on at the East India House, relative to charges preferred against Captain Thomas Larkins, commander of the honourable Company's ship Marquis Camden, terminated yesterday. The result of this inquiry has perhaps excited as much feeling among those engaged in the naval service of the East India Company as a late Court- Martial did in his Majesty's navy. The charges preferred by Mr Haylett, Captain Larkins' chief officer, were tried before the Shipping Committee, Captain William Stanley Clarke, President of the Court. The following is the official statement of the charges preferred against Captain Larkins: — " To the honourable the Committee of Shipping, East India House. " Honourable Sirs— In presuming to appear before you, believe me, I have a painful task to perform, but, impelled by a sense of duty, which I owe to myself, and which to surrender would be almost criminal, I have no alternative, and feel bound to prefer the following charges against Captain Thomas Larkins, commander of the honourable Company's ship Marquis Camden :— " First Charge— For putting me under close arrest between the hours of two and three o'clock on the morning of the 13th of November 1828, whilst moored in the Whampoa river, and although serious indisposition was the consequence of this solitary confinement, and my life was considered by some in imminent danger, yet it was not until the 25th of the same month, when, by the interference of the President and Select Committee, an order was issued by them for my immediate release. " Second Charge— For challenging me to personal combat on the poop of the Honourable Company's ship Marquis Camden, on the evening of the 26th of March 1828, during the period that I was officer of the watch. " Third Charge— For addressing me at various times during the voyage in language the most gross, revolting, and insulting; demoralizing in its example emanating from the commander of ihc- ship, derogatory to the character of a gentleman, disgraceful and highly censurable as an officer in the Honourable Company's service. ( Signed) " WM. HAYLETT, chief officer, H. C. S. Marquis Camden." The court has sat upon these charges almost from ( lay to- day. Nearly all the officers and crew of the Marquis Camden have been examined at great length, and separate evidence taken on each distinct charge. Several of the common sailors spoke to the validity of the statements preferred by Mr Haylett, whilst, on the other hand the officers and part of the crew wholly negatived them. The evidence having been gone through, the court proceeded to consider of its judgment. The complainant was serve! with two distinct notices, apprizing him of tile day on which the case was to be decided, but to neither of these notices was attention paid. The court therefore proceeded to sum up the merits of the case in the absence of the accuser, and through the president, Captain Clarke, the court honourably acquitted Captain Larkins, who immediately received the congratulations of his friends. The Court of Directors of the Company, at the usual weekly meeting held on Wednesday afternoon, confirmed, as is understood, the proceedings of the Court of Inquiry. The subscriptions for the Eldon Testimonial amount to about L. 7000. We learn from Denmark that foreign porcelain is now admitted into that kingdom on payment of 30 per cent, duty on the value. New York Papers have been received to the 16th September, aud other papers from various parts of America, the principal contents of which relate to the descent of the Havannah expedition near Tampico, but there was every expectation entertained that it would be completely defeated. The following was posted at the North and South American Coffeehouse yesterday morning:— Extract of a letter dated Vera Cruz, Aug. 15 :—" The Spanish expedition, about 3500 men, effected a landing on the 28th tilt, at Cabo Roxo, near Tampico, which latter place they have since taken. This keeps us in suspense as to our operations, not that we fear any unfortunate result, for the Spanish force is very trifling, and as this Government is concentrating far superior forces, they must soon either re- embark or deliver up their arms. But in the meantime business is naturally affected, although we have no doubt of its revival after the expulsion of the Spaniards, as this success must in. spire the Mexican and satisfy the Spanish Government of the folly of sending their paltry expeditions against this country. General Santa Anna has the command of the forces operating against the Spaniards, and we anticipate much from his enterprise and experience. Previous to leaving this with the expedition, he was under the necessity of enforcing a loan, which he did froin the native and Spanish merchants, but exempted all the foreigners, whom he always endeavours to favour and protect." PRESIDENT JACKSON— Extract from a Washington letter, dated August 28, communicated for the Philadelphia United States Gazette:—" The fact is simply this: General Jackson is much more seriously indisposed than his friends are willing that the public should believe him to be. He is afflicted with a chronic infl. tmmation of the bowels, which comes on frequently, after the slightest excitement or application to business. The recent attacks have been much more severe than they previously were, anil have affected his head. His legs and feet are swollen considerably, and there are other equivocal symptoms of dropsy. This combination of afflictions, acting upon a frame weakened by age, and a mind which has been impaired by the loss of his wife, menaces the most serious termination. Every thing which human skill can suggest or apply, will doubtless be resorted to for the purpose of repelling or weakening the attacks ; but there is no expectation among medical men of a perfect recovery " EXHIBITION AT NIAGARA FALLS.— The Buffalo Journal states, that arrangements are making by a party of gentlemen, partly from that town, and partly from Canada, for a singular and complicated exhibition at the Falls, on the 6th October, the following particulars of which have been furnished by a gentleman concerned :— There exists a fissure in the rock, at the very brink of the fall, of 100 feet in depth, and about 10 inches in width at the top. This is to be charged with powder, and the explosion is expected to disengage a mass of ten millions of tons weight. The schooner Superiour, which has been purchased for the purpose, will be committed to the stream, to follow the fate of her predecessor, the Michigan. As this vessel, though nearly as large as the Michigan, does not draw so much water, hy several feet, there is little doubt that she will, under the direction of Captain Weissnoon, of Chippewa, vvho assisted in conducting her predecessor, reach the brink of the fall uninjured; in which case her descent would be most splendid and imposing.— Mew York Daily Advertiser. Mr North, a . scientific surgeon of London, has lately published a case of a child that was poisoned by eating the flowers of the laburnum. In consequence of expressing his surprise at the fatal effects of the flowers, Dr Anthony Todd Thomson addressed a letter to iiim, in which he says,— Not only are the flowers and seeds of. the laburnum poisonous, but also those of many others of the same natural family. Some French chemists term the poisonous principle of this " natural family" ct/ stisine. This fatal occurrence points out the impropriety of allowing children to run over green- houses and shrubberies which contain shruhs or plants, with the properties of which the family is unacquainted— a practice which we believe to be very common, under the erroneous idea that the effluvia arising from them are salubrious.— Gazette of Health. A. M. Hehuba, a candle manufacturer at Paris, has invented a new wick for tallow candles, which is hollow. It is said to give a better light than the ordinary wick, and to prevent guttering. ( From the Globe.) Mr Jones, who for a great number of years filled with perfect success, at the Edinburgh Theatre, the . line of characters occupied by Mr Jones of Drury Lane, appeared last night as Lord Ogleby, in the Clandestine Marriage; a character which lie had represented in Edinburgh, for his own benefit, with great effect, and which he performed last night with greater correctness than any actor on the London stage ( not excepting even Farren), but not with the effect which the performance would have produced if Farren had not made the part so exclusively his own, that even his faults are considered beauties. I t was a bold thing in Mr Jones, the Rover and Mirabel of the Edinburgh stage, to appear before a London audience as Lord Ogleby ; but he was driven to it bv the ridiculous etiquette of the theatre, by which Mr Wrench usurps the parts of the fine gentlemen ; and Mrs Gibbs, a ladv bordering on seventy, represents ( ill nothing, certainly, but her vivacity, which, in a lady of her age, is astonishing) the young girls of twenty. The success of Air Jones, therefore, is the more meritorious in proportion to the difficulties of his situation ; and we trust that in the new range of characters to which he has been driven he will become a favourite. It is not discreditable to this gentleman to state that he was not quite so amusing as Mr Farren— he was, however, more correct. He was not so effective, either, as Mr Farren; but why ?— because he represented the character of Lord Ogleby as it might be in real life, whereas Farren, with a talent peculiarly his own, made a new part of it, and astonished by the whimsicality of an exhibition beyond nature, and only sufferable as applied to a character which lias in itself very little that is merely amusing. Farren, too, has an advantage over Jones in the dress of the character : Farren, regardless of the absurdity which must strike every man . of taste at seeing the costume of the present day mixed with that of 1700, and aiming at effect, appears in a befrogged and bespangled coat, such as might have belonged to the early part of the last century, or to an era still more remote; whilst the ladies are trimmed out in the leg- of- mutton sleeves of 1829. Mr Jones makes only that distinction of dress which we witness in society; and although he cannot, like the jack- pudding of the riding school, bring down applause by the shaking of his sleeve, or, like the clown of the pantomime, raise a burst of laughter at the painted dimensions of his mouth and the curl of his wig, he obtains the silent approbation due to good taste and a proper regard to consistency. The greatest misfortune of Mr Jones is, that he represents a character to which all his former theatrical studies have been opposed— that he is compelled throughout to disguise his voice, and that in the full vigour of manhood he has to represent the infirmities of age without the long previous practice requisite for the undertaking. The consequence of all this is, that we are satisfied with his Lord Oglebv without being delighted, and yet we wonder that it should have been a favourite part as burlesqued by other actors. The other characters were respectably filled. MAIL COACH ACCIDENT.— AS flie L e e d s mail was leaving Nottingham on Saturday last, in. descending the hill, the horses became unmanageable, and set off at a rapid pace. At the turn of the road the mail was upset, and was dragged several yards on its side. Of three outside passengers, one was left on the spot very seriously injured; the other two were so much hurt, that at Bedford, where they received the greatest attention from the landlord of the inn, it was found necessary to call in surgical aid : they were unable to proceed. The inside passengers miraculously escaped with only a few bruises. The accident was occasioned by the viciousness of two of the horses; one of them was afterwards sent back to be changed. USE OF IODINE IN THE CURE OF SCROFULA.— Dr Lugol, physician to the Hospital of St Louis, in Paris, the only establishment in which patients declared scrofulous are admitted, has adopted iodine in the cure of scrofula with great success. His mode of administering it is two- fold: internally, as a solution of iodine, from half a grain to a grain, in a pint or half a pint of distilled water, in which he also dissolved a certain quantity of common salt. In external applications he uses salves composed of the usual sorts of grease, with certain proportions of iodine and iodate of potassium, or the simple pro iodate of mercury. In the space of seventeen months, M. Lugol had the opportunity of treating with this remedy 109 scrofulous patients. Of these thirty- nine remained in the hospital at the end of last year; thirty had quilted the establishment much benefitted; thirty- six had left it perfectly cured; and there had been four on whom the treatment had proved inefficacious. M. Lugol communicated the details of his remedy, and the cures he had performed, in a memoir to the Royal Academy; and the Committee to whom it was referred to inquire into the subject, reported that all the assertions of the Doctor had proved exact, that the evident effect of the remedy had been established, and that M. Lugol deserved the encouragement the Academy. THE DIVING BELL.— TWO persons h a v e been for some time past engaged with a diving- bell at Holyhead, in bringing up dollars which had been sunk in the ship Enterprize many years ago. On ihe second day, while the divers were employed in cutting away the weeds with which the remains of the wreck of the Enterprize were covered, the man in the bell discovered a crab which took shelter in a fissure of rock. Into this fissure he thrust his arm, laid hold of the crab, and dragged him from his lurking place. It is the nature of the crab to retain pertinaciously his hold of whatever he may get between his nippers when alarmed or irritated. In the present instance the crab laid hold of a Spanish dollar, which, when dragged forth to light, he held in his claw, as ' f willing to try if a bribe might' be the means of recovering his liberty. His captor, however, shoved both the crab and the money into the capacious pocket of his fishing jacket, and immediately proceeded to examine the hole in the rock whence hehal dragged the crab, where, to his agreeable surprise, he found upwards of 100 dollars. While the divers were thus employed, the crab took the opportunity to escape froin the pocket to which he hail been committed prisoner, and was seen by the divers at a short distance, running along the bottom inquest of a new habitation, and still retaining his dollar in his fist alias claw. The dollars are generally coated with a black oxide, which, when removed, exhibits the coinage fresh and entire. EPSOM OCTOBER MEETING. This meeting, which was revived last year with such" distinguished success, will lose none of its popularity from its continuation. The Marquis of Graham, Lord Mountcharles, Colonel Standen, Captain Locke, Mr Maberly, and most of the leading families of the county were present. The following is a return of the stakes decided yesterday : — The Metropolitan Stakes of 10 sovereigns each, and 25 sovereigns added from the race fund. Mr Bulkeley's Burlesque, 5 yrs . . I Mr Maberly's Howard, 3 yrs . . 2 Captain Stewait's Vicar, 4 yrs . g Four others started, but were not placed Won easy. The Epsom Stakes of 10 sovs. each, and 20 sovs. added from the fund.

It appeared on the examination, that Jenkins frequently had the key of the strong box in his possession for hours, and that it was of such a common kind, that a similar one could easily be made. That the box was opened by a key was evident, as it was found locked after the robbery. ORIGIN o r ENGLISH MERCANTILE COMPANIES. — The company first established in England for the improvement of commerce was erected by patent, in the reign of Edward I. merely for the exportation of wool, before we knew the value of that commodity. We were then strangers to the trade. The next was that of the Barbaty Merchants, incorporated in the reign of King Henry VII. A company of merchants trading to the north, called the Muscovy, or Russia Company, was established by Edward VI. and encouraged by having additional privileges granted by Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. The Barbary Merchants coming to decay towards the latter end of Queen Elizabeth's reign, out of their ruins arose the Levant or Turkey Company, who first trading with Venice, and then with Turkey, furnished England with East India commodities. This company has considerable factories at Constantinople, Smyrna, Allepo, & c. From the flourishing state of the Levant Company in the reign of Elizabeth, sprung the Old East India Company, who having fitted out ships of force, brought from thence at the best hand the Indian commodities previously sold to England by distant Europeans. Having obtained from the crown divers charters and grants in their favour, they become sole masters of that advantageous traffic, until a new company was incorporated by Kiug William, anno 9, W. 3. They lent the Government two millions of money and both those companies, after the expiration of a certain term, were by articles united. In the 2lst of Qaeen Eiizibeth, the Eastland Company of Merchants was erected, and in the reign of King Charles 11. the Company was confirmed, with full power to trade to Norway, Sweden, Poland, and other eastland countries. The Royal African Company had their charter granted in the I4ih of Charles II.; and by the 9th and 10th of William III. they arc enjoined to maintain all forts, & c. King Charles IL, by commission under the Great Seal, constituted James Duke of York ( afterwards James If.), Edward Earl of Clarendon, and others, to be a Council for the Fisheries of England, and declared himself the protector of the same. In the twenty- ninth year of his reign he incorporated the Fishery Company. William III., in the fourth year of his reign, established a Greenland Company. By statute of the 9th ot Anne, to pay tiie debts of the army anil navy, amounting to ten millions, the South Sea Company of Merchants was erected, who having advanced that sum, the duties upon wines, vinegar, tobacco, & c. were appropriated as a fund for the payment of the interest at the rate of six per cent. The Company was to have the sole trade to the South Seas, and others trading thither were to forfeit their ships, goods, and double value. The corporation was to continue for ever, but the funds were subject to redemption by Parliain ,- nt. This Company had their capital stock very much enlarged in the reign of George I. and to raise money were empowered to make calls, or take in subscriptions as they thought fit. On that foundation the South Sea scheme was executed. But to retrieve credit, part of the South Sea Company's stock was engrafted into the capital stock of the East India Company and the Bank of England. After that, half the stock was converted into annuities, at £ 4 per cent., and ultimately a further reduction was made. In that ever memorable year, 1720, the Sub- Governor and Directors of the South Sea Company incurred a forfeiture of their estates by statute, and were disabled to hold any office, & c. for their vile conduct, which tended to the ruin of the public. Over and above these companies there are the Uutch merchants; those who trade to the West Indies; the Canary merchants ; the Italian merchants, who trade to Leghorn, Venice, Sicily, & c.; the French and Spanish merchants. MURDER IN LISBON. The following is an account, by an eye- witness, of an atrocious murder and robbery, perpetrated at the residence of Mr MacKean, a British resident, and sixty years old, whose popular measures have endeared, him to the Portuguese in an extraordinary degree. It occurred in Buenos Ayres, which, as it is the most salubrious and the highest part of Lisbon, is inhabited by many British subjects. " On Saturday, Sept. 19, about half past eight o'clock, a noise was heard at the upper part of the street, and as it continued increasing, my boys and William ran out. In a minute one returned, and stated to me that M! r- MacKean had been stabbed. I ran out, and found Mr MacKean just rising from the ground before his door. Seeing the blood run profusely from his left side, I got him up stairs, and found he had a stab of a knife on that side, about the short ribs. I put mv finger into the wound to feel if any ball or part of the clothes were in it. I washed and dressed it. I also found another stub about the middle of the left thigh, one small wound below, and another 011 the arm. Having dressed the wounds, I had him put to bed, and some time after the doctor arrived. The circumstances of the case are as follow .-— Two men knocked at the door, and said that Senhor Joao ( Mr MacKean's Christian name, well known to the neighbourhood), had sent them with two bottles, which they produced, and instantly rushed into the house. One went into Miss MacKean's room, and presented a knife to her breast, threatening if she spoke to kill her ; others got into Sirs MacKean's room, who was alarmed and screamed very much. Miss MacKean, with great presence of mind, contrived to squeeze herself through the iron bars of the window, and, getting on a wall at the end of the hoase, to drop into the street Running to the street of St Domingos, where Mr MacKean was chatting with two of his acquaintance, she exclaimed, " Run, r u n ; there are thieves in the house; Mrs. MacKean will be murdered." He ran, desiring the others to follow him. He forced open the door, which was fastened solely by the latch. The noise alarmed the thieves, and two ran down the stairs, one of whom lie seized at the door, and struggled with till both fell, when the. robber made the stabs and escaped. Of the persons with whom he had been chatting, one ran for pistols, and the other stopped to accompany him, and did not arrive until others had come. As the man servant was absent, we concluded him in league with the robbers; but about half- past 12 o'clock my servant came to sit up with Mr MacKean, bringing with him one of my dogs. On going soon after into the garden, he observed the dog hunting about and did not return. On following the dog, he found the poor servant dead. Word was ser. t to the police, who apprehended two men on suspicion, and the officers having thumb- screwed thein, they, after a considerable bastinado, confessed they were part of the gang, and that the fellow who had murdered the servant was bugleman to one of the Royalist corps. His sword was found by the body. He was soon apprehended, bat denied all knowledge of the murder, although he had his scabbard empty. The usual forms having been gone through, four of the thieves were sent to prison, thumb- screwed The trumpeter had his Royalist coat turned, and the bloody sword hung 011 his back. When the body was examined, it was supposed that the servant was first knocked down, by a blow on the left side of the head, and then the sword run through him near the c » llar bone down into the lungs. Another sword wound was given at the upper part of the thigh into the bowels, both apparently after he had fallen. The thieves, while in the house, had torn from Mrs MacKean's neck a gold chain value £ 16, ransacked some of the drawers, and taken a valuable candlestick. The villains gave Mrs MacKean a dreadful black eye; and, as she believes, were about to strangle her, when Mr MacKean burst open the door. Miss MacKean sprained her ankle ill consequence of the jump from the wall. The man who confessed first turns out to'be one who had worked in Mr MacKean's employment for the last twelve months. It appears to be the intention of f. ie British subjects to enter into a subscription to defray the expense of all felonies committed against them personally." THE ARMY. The 47th ( Lancashire) regiment of foot arrived on Wednesday in the Isle of Wight from Chatham. A detachment belonging to the 30th ( Cambridgeshire) regiment of infantry arrived in town on Wednesday from Scotland, and marched yesterday for Portsmouth. A detachment belonging to the 2d battalion of the 60th ( the Duke of Yoik's own rifle corps) arrived in town from Scotland, and marched yesterday for Gosport. LEWES, OCT. 6.— On Thursday morning, the 47th regiment of foot passed through this town 011 their route to the Isle of Wight. The regiment halted at the Black Horse, where breakfast was prepared tor the officers, and where the " men partook of refreshment. While at the above inn, a court- martial was held on one of the flag Serjeants for impropriety of conduct at his quarters at Uckfield the preceding day. The resuU was, the stripes were taken from off his arm, and he was marcl. el forward as a prisoner. L O N D O N MARKETS— OCT. 9. T I I E COTTON TRADE The large sales of Surat and other cottons, this morning, has attracted much attention. The principal part of the cottons, amounting to about 11,000 bales, was bought in, and from the firmness of the holders the market may be stated to have improved a shade. Of Surats there were offered about 9300 bales, which was nearly all taken in at from 31 d . to 3Jd. pet pound. The demand for American was- not more active, and the majority of it was bought in also. A small parcel of Carthagena obtained 4d. per pound. The sales were fully attended. SUGAR.— The market for plantation sugars has been exceedingly depressed this week, the alarm occasioned by the late failures not having been yet wholly removed. The few sales effected were on lower terms. In foreign sugars no alteration can be noticed. Refined goods have partaken of the dullness in the raw market, and business much choked. The East India Company have declared about 16,000 bags of sugar for sale in November. TEA DECLARATION— The East India Company have issued their Declaration for the December sale of Teas. There are to be offered ot Bohea, l, 208,0001bs. ; of Congou, Campoi, Pekoe, and Souchong, 5,200, OOOlbs ; ofTwankay, Hyson Skin, 1,150,000, and of Hyson, 250, OOOlbs.;— making in all 7,800, OOOlbs., being the same as last sale. Of Hyson there are 50, OOOlbs. less, and of Twankay and Hyson Skin 50, OOOlbs. more, than offered at last sale. The coffee and rum markets remain flat. The former nre heavy at the last reduction. The public sales of plantation qualities went off about Is. per cwt. lower. The Government contract for rum is to be taken next week. THE SILK TRADE— The market for raw silks has become more heavy within the last two days. The prompt on last sale is on this day week, but will not, it is believed, be very large. The deliveries of silk last month from the Company's warehouses, were 866 bales, and the sold silks was 3758 bales; of unsold 14,634 bales. HOPS— New Mid Kent hops come to market very fine, and the holders ask £ 14. Buyers are found readily at £ 12. The market is steady. Duty £ 15,000. TOBACCO.— There have been some" purchases of middling dark Virginia for export, at 3jd. to 3 | d . ; low ordinary qualities are in good demand, at 2^ d. to 2 § d., but holders are firm, anticipating higher prices. A parcel of Kentucky stemmed, new crop, has been sold at about 6^ d. The quantity of stemmed imported is small, and prices are expected to improve. In the oil market there is not much doing, and prices are heavy. BALTIC PRODUCE.— Russian tallow continues heavy at about 37s. to 37s. 3il. per cwt. The last accounts from St Petersburgh are to the 24th ult. The Exchange was. at 10 11- 23. No alteration in produce. THE WOOL TRADE.— Some very large sales of New South Wales, Van Dieman's Lund, German, and other wools, have taken place within the last two days. This morning nearly 10110 bales were publicly offered. About 870 bales of Australian and Van Dieman's Land, went off at low prices. The New South Wales fetched 9d. to. I4d. per lb., one fine lot IE. lP^ d. per lb. The sale is proceeding. CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 9. The market is very inanimate, and we can quote n » variation of the slightest kind in any description of grain, which remains at Monday's quotations. The supply this morning is 3250 sacks ot flour; 3250 qrs of wheat; 2450 qrs of barley; 1100 qrs of oats; 250 qrs of Irish wheat; 450 qrs of Irish oats; 4800 qrs of foreign wheat; and 1500 qrs of foreign barley. SMITHFIELD— OCT. 9. We had rather a large supply of all descriptions of meat this morning, but we had not the slightest alteration in the price of any one article of meat; all continue as on Monday.

Sheep and lambs were alsovery plentiful, and a great number remain unsold Beef from 5s to 6s per stone; mutton and lamb 4Ad to 5Jd per lb. WAKEFIELD, Oct. 9— There is a good arrival of wheat this week, but the great bulk is of second quality. Choice samples of new South would bring nearly the rates of this day week, but all other descriptions are Isto 2s. per quarter lower, and the sales very limited. Very few maltsters are yet at work ; the little barley up, consequently, is more than adequate to the demand. The finest description sells at 32s. to 33s., and second sorts down to 30s.; inferior, still lower. There is no alteration in oats or shelling. Beans are Is. per quarter lower. Other articles as last stated.

Those from Ireland are increasing, and we may shortly look for good supplies from that country ; a great proportion of what wheat has yet appeared has had a mixture of sprouted, but there are some samples quite equal to those of the best years. The oats are superior both in quality and weight, but the undried aie generally very soft. Under the anticipation of an increase in the impost on wheat and flour, which took place on Saturday, duties were paid during the week upon 4160 quarters of the former and upon 2700 barrels of flour, also on 240 quarters of barley and 130 quarters of peas. The millers and dealers in this neighbourhood are at present well supplied with farmer.-' samples of new wheat, and, under the impression of lower rates, they have bought vary cautiously ; hence, notwithstanding the smullness of the supply, prices have been gradually giving way. Holders of old wheats have also evinced more anxiety to sell. New oats have gone oft'pretty freely, and have hitherto obtained our previous currency. Prices of old have been barely supported. Barleys continue scarce, and, as weT as Indian corn, grinding peas, and low- priced oatmeal, have met a good demand for feeding purposes. Free flour is offering on lower terms. New meal also, with only a small supply, is rather cheaper. About 2300 barrels of bonded flour appear in the export list of this week, but the sales have not exceeded a quarter of that quantity ; it may be bought Is. to 2s. per barrel below our last quotations. In other articles under lock little has been passing. Several Irish cargoes arrived yesterday, and we had a fair show of samples at this morning's market, but very little of the wheat was of good quality, and having only a very moderate demand, all destriptions were reduced in value 3( 1. to 4d. per701bs. and some quantity left unsold. New oats ( of whieh there were several parcels of well prepared West of Ireland offering) were also fully 3d. per bushel cheaper, the choicest qualities not exceeding 3s. 3d. per 451bs. ; prices of old also declined ld. per bushel. Flour was Is. and oatmeal Is. to 2s. per pack cheaper, and the sale of each article very difficult. ( auk Stock • • 3 per Cent, red — J per Cent.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 12. I t is mentioned in the Paris papers that the French Government had received the intelligence of the signature of peace between Russia and T u r. key on the 14th ult. The following are stated to lie the conditions :— " The ancient treaties, particularly that of Akermann, are re- established. The free passage of the Bosphorus antl Dardanelles is assured to the ships of all nations which shall not be at war with Russia or the Porte. The privileges and liberties stipulated by the treaty of Akermann for the inhabitants of the Principalities are confirmed and more completely secured. Servia shall enjoy the same privileges and liberties. Six districts which have been improperly separated from that province by the Turks, shall be re- united to it. All the places on the left bank of the Danube shall belong to Wallachia and Moldavia, and shall be exempt from Tuikish garrisons. Giurgevo shall be demolished, Poti, Anapa, and Akhalzik, ceded to Russia. The Protocol of the 2' 2d March is recognised, subject to negociations with the Powers, parties to the treaty of London. All Christian subjects mny emigrate with their property. An indemnity of 11,500,009 ducats, of which 1,500,000 are to be paid in three instalments, at intervals of six months, and the remainder in ten annual instalments.— The payment of this sum is guaranteed by the occupation of Moldavia and Wallachia. The Porte has the option of discharging the debt in a shorter time, and the Russian troops will deliver up the provinces immediately after the entire payment ofthe indemnity." The most remarkable condition in this treaty is that which provides for the payment of a pecuniary indemnity by Turkey to the Russian merchants, according to the treaty of Akerman, and another indemnity to defray the expences of the present war- The sum necessary to pay the first indemnity amounts in value to L. 1,500,000; and the second to L. 5,000,000. At first it is said, that General Diebitsch insisted for the immediate payment of this enormous sum ; but that he was induced, by the intervention of the Prussian Minister, to relax his demands as to the time of payment,^ and to be content with one- third of the money immediately ; the remaining two- thirds lo be paid in separate instalments ; Adrianople, Kirklissa, & c. to be evacuated by the Russian troops one month after payment of the first instalment; after that nf the second, the Balkan mountains, and after the third instalment, the Danube to be repassed. If it be true that General Diebitsch insisted for the immediate payment of I.. 1,500,900 as the price of peace, it is clear that he could not be sincere in his desire for the termination of hostilities, since he must have been well aware that the money could not, by any expedient of extortion, have been wrung out of the impoverished provinces of the Turkish empire. Nor does it much mend the matter to grant to the Porte the indulgence of a few years of grace. It is not possible for the Sultan to liquidate within the period allowed such an accumulation of heavy demands; and the Russian General must " be well aware of this. The Turkish Government never raised its revenue by any process of eqUal assessment. The plunder of dependent proviiices was its chief resource ; and the merit of the different Pachas was estimated entirely by the amount of their remittances to the general treasury. But by a long course of license and rapine, the provinces subject to Turkey are either exhausted and desolate, or they have cast off, in some degree at least, her tyrannical sway. Hence the Turkish financiers, though extremely efficient in their several departments, have for a long time experienced great difficulty in raising the ordinary revenues of the s t a t e ; and how is it then possible that they can levy such an extraordinary contribution ? But if the money is not punctually paid, the treaty is violated ; the Russian armies may be again set in motion ; and thus the effect of this provision is to place Turkey constantly at the mercy of Russia. Turkey is the debtor, and Russia the angry crediter, who will brook no delay, and whose claims, if they are not duly settled, will be enforced by the summary diligence of the bayonet. The treaty seems to be made on purpose that it may be violated, and that Russia may have it in her power to march an army at any time into the Turkish terj ritory. The principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia were, by the treaty of Akernian, placed in some degree under the control of Russia. The present t r e a ty follows out the same principle, and not only renders those provinces less dependent on Turkey, by allowing the governor to hold his office for life, on the payinentofan annual tribute to thePorte, but adds Servia to the number of those provinces. Tocircumscribe within narrower limits the tyranny of the Turks— to rescue from oppression the industrious Greeks who live under it, cannot be considered in any other light than as a great good, and if it could have been safely managed, a greater curtailment of the Turkish territory would have been no serious evil. But in this case jealousies might have been awakened, which it would not have been easy to quiet; and it is perhaps more eligible on this account not to encroach too deeply on the dominions of the Sultan. A serious engagement it appears has taken place at Schumla on the 5th September. A vigorous cannonade was commenced against the fortress, | which was returned by the Turkish garrison ; and a shell thrown from the town exploded in the Russian magazine, which was blown up, and occasioned considerable loss to the Russians, The Turks taking advantage of the confusion, made a smart attack, which compelled the Russians to retreat to Jeni- bazar with the loss of between 3 and 4000 men. From the American papers to the 17th September, we learn that the Spanish Government have actually landed a body of troops, amounting, it is said, to 3500, at Cape Roque, in Mexico, for the purpose, it would appear, of attempting the re- conquesl of that country. The most active preparations were making to put down this puny attempt to disturb the public peace, and there is little doubt that they will be successful. The grievous yoke of the mother country was too deeply felt by the Spanish colonies to be soon forgotten; and it can scarcely be doubted, that the attempt to re- establish that yoke will excite the people to unanimous efforts in defence of their newly- acquired independence. V PRIVATE C O R R E S P O N D E N C E. Royal Exchange, London, Friday night. Various reports were in circulation in tbe city on the subject of the condition of affairs between Russia and Turkey, and particularly with reference to a protest by the British and French Ambassadors against tile conditions of the treaty, in which it is said Russia has obtained undue advantages over this country and France— This statement rests upon the authority of advices from Vienna, which reach down to the 30th ult. What credit they may deserve it is impossible for us to state, but the following is an extract from a communication from the Austrian capital, written by a person of considerable influence and good information there, to a house of the highest respectability in the city. " Vienna, 29th September. " It is thought possible here that the conclusion of the treaty between Russia and Turkey, and the consequent termination of the war, will lead to very disagreeable disputes between the other powers of the Continent. It is said that the Russian Plenipotentiaries rejected altogether any interference by Envoys from other powers with Turkey; and that more favourable terms have been granted to the Turks, in cons quence of certain exclusive advantages to be secured to Russia. Among these are the navigation of the Black Sea, and a free passage in and out of the Mediterranean for the ships of war of Russia. The treaty seems to have been signed on the 14th inst., and very shortly afterwards, it is asserted by persons professing to be well informed, that a solemn protest was entered against it by Sir R. Gordon and the French Ambassador, and that the ground of this protest is, that Great Britain and France ought to be placed on the same footing with Russia with respect to all matters of navigation. " Should it be necessary Russia will of course assist Turkey in maintaining the part she has taken, and in securing the performance of the articles of the treaty as respects herself. The date of the last news from Adrianople received by the Government here, does not appear to be clearly known. The Russian troops nearest to the Danube were re- crossing that river in considerable numbers." There have been no fresh arrivals from any part of the Western Hemisphere to- day. MONEY MARKET. Speculation has increased in the Consol market to- day, and commenced at an early hour this morning; but the purchases having rather exceeded the sales, the prices advanced a shade, in spite of the reports industriously circulated, tbat the Ambassadors of both Great Britain and France had protested against the terms of the treaty of peace which it is said the Russians had demanded of the Porte. This, however, has been contradicted in the best informed quarters of the city, where, it is said, ' he late dispatches from Sir R. Gordon contain nothing to excite the least distrust, and that the war will terminate in the way desired by all parties. The private advices from St Pelersburgh are of the same date as the dispatches brought by Captain A'Couit, but contain nothing of importance. The news of the acquiescence of the Sultan in the treaty, it was expected, would have been received at St Petersburgh about the 26th of last month, twelve days after it was signed at Constantinople. It is now believed, that, in the event of the first instalment being paid without hesitation, the Emperor Nicholas will require no farther loan, but that, should any delay arise, he will be compelled to resort again to the house of Rothschild for money to pay his troops, and other expences, on the termination of the war. Consols for account have left off this afternoon at 89g buyers, and for the month of November at 90 sellers; the continuation remaining steady at from 5- 16 to g per cent. Continentrl stocks remain nearly the same as yesterday. In French stock not a single bargain was quoted up to the termination of business. The last prices were these :— Consols, 894g.

HOUSE BREAKING.— On Wednesday, about dusk, the house of Mrs Jardine, a widow, iri Leith, was broken into, and £ 1 7 in money, a silver watch, and several other articles of value, carried away. Upon the robbery being discovered, information was given to the Police Office, when Captain Denovan immediately instituted a search, which fortunately has led to the detection of the thief and recovery of the money and property. Strong suspicion falling on a man of the name of Dickson, his bouse was searched, and .£ 11 was found in the coal- cellar, the watch in the house, and part of the money on his j person. He was brought before the Sheriff on Thursday, but from the aggravation of the case, he was remanded to a higher court. We are requested to state, with reference to a paragraph which appeared in the Stirling Advertiser of Friday the 9th inst. regarding " Burgh Politics," that the account there given was far from correct. That Mr Johnston of Straiton certainly announced his intention of becoming a candidate for the representation of the Stirling district of burghs, on either a vacancy occurring or a dissolution of Parliament taking place, but he declined all canvass at present, his only object being to request of the electors not to pledge themselves ; nor was any statement made of any understanding whatever existing between him and Mr Downie, who, it is believed, was totally ignorant of his intentions. Thai it was quite incorrect to say that the members of Council present with Mr Johnston in Macpherson's Inn were unacquainted with Mr Johnston's object, every one of them having been previously waited on by Mr Johnston pe'rsonally, who dis- j tinctly anil fully explained to them the object he had in view. That, oil the whole, the kind and flattering reception which Mr Johnston met with on visiting the several burghs of the district, affords him the most sanguine hopes of ultimate success. A story that Mr Hume is about to retire from his arduous duties in Parliament, has been invented by some wag, and was industriously circulated through this and the neighbouring town of Arbroath on Friday and Saturday last. It was the precursor of Sir James Carnegie of Southesk, Bart., who visited both places on the above days, for the purpose of soliciting the respective Town- Councils for their suffrages in electing a representative for this district of burghs.— Montrose Review. THE LATE REV. DR MARTIN OF MONIMAIL. The Rev. Dr Martin of Monimail, whose loss his numerous and respectable congregation sincerely deplore, was, we believe, the son of a parochial teacher in one of the boroughs on the coast of Fife. Being originally destined for the church, thote early habits of piety and orderly conduct which secured him the lasting esteem of those ornaments of the church, Dr Erskine, Sir Henry Moncreifi; and Dr Balfour, seerred to be so congenial to his character, that in him they appeared to be almost innate. As the guardian of public morals, the efficiency of the minister will be in exact proportion, as those virtues clothe his name with awe and respect; and if the parish of Monimail exceed some others in those qualities, they owe much of tbat excellence to the undeviating rectitude of Dr Martin, whose severe example and calm exercise of the ministerial functions, carried secret reproach to the bosom of the most profligate. Some duties which now begin to be obsolete, were with him the most. precious relics of parochial superintendence, and for 61 years he scarcely once omitted his annual family visitations and public catechisings It has been remarked that he had attended above a hundred Synods, of which he had long been from other circumstances than years the indisputable father and monitor. The Presbytery of Cupar, with their usual good taste, gave him a jibilee dinner on completing his 50 years ministry among them, a circumstance of which the aged patriarch, who had then five descendants occupying prominent stations among the clergy, was ever after justly proud. It was, however, in his private character that he appeared to most advantage. He was warm and constant in his friendships, because they were founded on principle, and his hilarity and urbanity continued without abatement to the close of his long life; and it was animating to see triumphant old age sometimes cheering by its example those innocent festivities, in which militant manhood and inconsiderate youth occasionally unite to forget for a brief space the feverish agitations of life. Dr Martin was singularly felicitous in his domestic connections, being married for about 50 years to a truly pious, amiable, and affectionate woman, and of his numerous family and descendants, who now strike deep root in the spiritual affectiousofthereligiouscommunity ofScotland, there was not one scion who did not do honour to the precepts of their venerable ancestor, with whom they ever maintained a regular and close communication, and whose harmony and mutual love and dependence was the best commentary upon the benevolence and goodwill of their revered head. It has elsewhere been remarked that he died in his 90th year, and preached four weeks before his death, and until within that period his bodily frame preserved its full integrity, and he enjoyed to the last the perfect command of his mental faculties; he was within one of being the father of tile General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. L O C O M O T I V E ENGINE'S. The recent trial of these on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, of which we have giveii a particular account, is without doubt one of the most interesting experiments, in regard to the powers of such machines, which has yet occurred, whether we view it as an exhibition of scientific and mechanical skill, or look forward to the wonderful improvements in the intercourse and internal communications of the country to which this grand discovery may yet be applied. In regard to the use of locomotive carriages on common roads, we have repeatedly and decidedly expressed our opinion, and the reasons for it, that all such projects are crude and ill considered, and inconsistent with any just view of principles ; and we regret to see ingenious this day. The velocity at which it moved surprised ar. d amazed every beholder. It seemed, indeed to fly, presenting one of the most sublime spectacles of human ingenuity and human daring the world ever beheld. It actually made one giddy to look at it, and filled thousands with lively fears for the safety of the individuals who w? re on it. and who seemed not to run along the earth, but to fly, as it were, on the " wings of the wind." It was a most sublime sight— a sight, indeed, wliich the individuals who beheld it will not soon forget. Tbe course was rather more than d mile and three quarters each way, making a total distance each heat of about three miles and a half. Mr Stephenson's carriage, the Rocker, with waggons and tender attached to it, weighing 12 tons 9 cwt. and the weight on the wheels of the engine being 4 tons 3 cwt. performed four heats in the following periods:— The 1st heat was performed in 13£ minutes. 2d 22i ... 3d 15$ ... 4th I7J ... persons still wasting their efforts on such vain projects. But on railways, as we formerly stated, all those impediments, by which the engine is rendered so inefficient even on the smoothest turnpikes, are entirely removed. There the engine, however ponderous, meets with hardly any resistance to oppose its progress, and accordingly drags after it the most enormous loads ; and when these are lessened or thrown off, it then advances with a speed beyond any thing ever attempted on land or water, and to which indeed we can hardly assign any limits, because the engine is neither checked like animal force by the mere speed of its motion, nor resisted as in navigation, b_ v the continued and increasing opposition of the element in which it moves. It, is on the railway, therefore, that the powers of the locomotive engine have always been displayed with striking effect, and the engines lately exhibited furnish new and remarkable examples. With a load of thirteen tons, including many passengers, Mr Stephenson's engine, the Rocket, travelled at the StW of fifteen miles nn hour ; and the engine of Braithwaite and Erickson, of London, moved at the astonishing speed of twenty- eight miles an hour. " It seemed, indeed, ( savs a spectator,) to fly, presenting one of the most sublime spectacles of human ingenuity and human daring the world ever beheld. It actually made one giddy to look at it, and filled thousands with lively fear for the safety of the individuals who were on it, and who seemed not to run along the earth, but to fly, as it were, on ' the wings of the wind.' It ivas a most . sublime sight— a sight, indeed, which the individuals who beheld it will not soon forget." Such is the account of those engines, and we cannot conclude without remarking how slowly improvements advance, even in our own enlightened community, and how much they are retarded by prejudice and by partial and interested views. The locomotive engine has now bqen travelling on railways for upwards of twelve or fifteen years, and with complete success, yet the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company were originally restricted by their act of Parliament to the use of horses ; and even after the self moving engines were allowed, a warm controversy arose on the question, whether it might not be adviseable to substitute, t h e artificial, and in other respects extremely inconvenient apparatus of fixed engines, and long ropes extending from mile to mile all along the road— and lastly, the first engineer bf the day has recently declared himself from want of experience incapable of offering an opinion whether either of lliese plans will fully answer in practice Nothing, however, can- prevent sooner or later, the application to the purposes of t rade and intercourse, a machine of such prodigious powers of trackage and swiftness of locomotion as above described. I. et us only consider for a moment the consequences of such an engine travelling from London to Edinburgh, at the rate of 15 or 20 miles an hour, and thus performing the journey in less than a single day and night— of thepracticabilily of such a scheme there can be little doubt, and all that is wanted is capital and skill to carry it into effect. 69.} minutes. Being a distance of fourteen miles. The Rocket performed one heat, without any weights being attached to it, in 84 minutes, being at the rate of 24,^ miles in the hour. Messrs Braithwaite arid Erickson's Novelty was not tried with weights on Tuesday, in cons quence of some accident; but without them it moved with surprising velocity. It performed one journey in 7} minutes, travelling nearly at the rate of thirty miles in the hour. WEDNESDAY— We have just heard that there was an experiment made on Wednesday, with the carriage of Messrs Braithwaite and Erickson, preparatory to the grand trial which is to be made on Saturday. The carriage is said to have travelled at the rate of twenty- five miles in the hour, with three times its own weight. In consequence of the bursting of the bellows of one of the engines, the commencement of the contest was postponed to yesterday. THURSDAY The powers of Mr Stephenson's carriage, the Roiket, were this day put to the test, in the performance of a journey of seventy miles, with loaded waggons attached to it. This, we are informed, was done at the average rate of eleven miles in the hour, in eluding stoppages, and the time lost after stopping to return, before the recovery of the general speed. On one occasion the distance of thirteen miles was performed within the hour. We have been favoured by Messrs Braithwaite and Erickson with the following paragraph :— TRIAL OF THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINES— In consequence of the judges having this day ordered a new set ot conditions, or ' ordeal which each locomotive engine shall undergo in contending for the premium of £ 500 at Rainhill,' Messrs Braithwaite and Erickson have, with tile approbation of the judges, deferred the farther exhibition of their engine, ( The Novelty,' till to- morrow ( Saturday) the 10. h, on which day, at eleven o'clock, it will start at Rainhill, to go seventy miles with its allotted load, in less time than any other engine." The number of engineers nod other scientific men who have come to Liverpool on this occ ision is perhaps unprecedented. Among tbese are— Mr Jardine, of Edinburgh; Mr Rastrick. of Stourbridge; Mr Wood, of Killingworth; Mr Vignoles, of London; Mr Bennett, of Manchester ; Mr Dalgleish, of' Bolton ; Mr Price, ot Neath Abbey; MrJBurstall, of Edinburgh; Mr Fairburn, of Manchester; Mr Storey, of Darlington; Mr Ackworth, of Darlington ; Mr Sinclair, of Bolton ; Mr Braithwaite, of London ; Mr Gillespie, of Newton ; Mr Hartley, of Liverpool; Mr Lilley, of Manchester; Mr Stephenson, of Newcastle- upon- Tyne; Mr Fawcett, of Liverpool; Captain Kitson, Royal Engineers, Liverpool; Mr Locke, of Liverpool; Mr Dixon, of Eccles; Mr Brandreth, of Liverpool. A considerable number of old Scottish coins were discovered on Monday week by some dykers in crossing the hills from Dunkeld to Logiealmond. From the description sent us of them they seem to be chiefly merks, plucks, and bodies, of the early James's, with some larger silver pieces of Mary and her son James.— Perth Courier The Duke of Bedford, on his late visit to the north, generously sent a donation of £ 1 0 to the poor in the neighbourhood of Rothiemurchus, which, with the liberal contributions of the amiable Duchess during her residence there, has afforded a very seasonable relief. During the whole of yesterday the wind blew with great fury from the west; about hnlf- past six in the evening it increased to a hurricane, rendering it not only difficult but dangerous to walk the streets from the great number of chimney cans which were blown down. We have any accident that occurred. A cabinet- maker residing in St Patrick Square, was placed at the bar of the Police Court on Saturday, for having assaulted and struck his servant girl. The Sheriff found the complaint proven, and awarded L. 5 of damages to the girl, and ordained the defender to find caution in L. 10, and to pay all expences. John Smith, glazier, and a pensioner, residing in the Canongate, went on Friday to draw his quarter's pension. Wrhile partaking of some whisky with several of his old companions in arms he was waited on by some persons to whom he was indebted. Smith finding his pension not sufficient to meet their demands craved delay, but they Were obdurate and clamorous; he, however, got home, and in a fit of drunkenness attempted to hang himself; he was so resolute in his determination to commit the rash act, that he was found by Grant, the police patrole, with the rope round his neck, the end fastened to the bed- post, and his foot outside of the window. He was conveyed to the Police- Office, and on coming to his senses appeared to be sorry for the attempt which he had made on his life. Captain Wilson, of the Colombia, of Aberdeen, states, that in his last voyage to New Zealand, he discovered a very dangerous reef, not laid down in any of the charts, and has requested that we would make the particulars of its situation known, for the benefit of future navigators. The reef commences about two miles NNE. from Cape Maria, Van Diemen, and trends seaward in a W. to WSW. direction, full three miles. At the time that Captain Wilson saw the reef, there was a strong current or tide setting over it, which prevented him from taking further observation, so as to give a fuller description of i t ; but he hopes that he has sufficiently pointed out its situation to warn other vessels, that they may be on the look- out. From appearances, there is deep water between the cape and the reef.— Aberdeen Journal. An affair of a singular and bloody description occurred at the farm- house of Glenconner, in the parish of Ochiltree, on the night of Wednesday or morning of Thursday last. After the toils of the harvest, a number of the shearers went to the neighbouring farm of Ilolehouse, and spent fhe evening in diversion. Returning before midnight they repaired to bed. The men slept together in pairs in the stable- loft, and one of them, a lad of the name of William Mackenzie, from Stoneykirk, went to bed, as usual, with a man of the name of William Houston— a feed- servant on the farm, who is, like Mackenzie, also from Wigtonshire. Houston, it seems, was regarded by hfs fellow- servants as a simpleton, and sometimes they took rather singular liberties with him, such as coaming his face, deranging his bed- clothes, & c. Mackenzie, unfortunately, joined in this treatment of his bed- fellow, and, on not heardof t' l e re^ e r r e ( i t 0 ' i n particular, after getting into bed, he drew his hand over his face as if again cooming him, drew the blankets off him, & c. Whilst this horse- play was going on, Houston expressed his passion in words, and after Mackenzie had fallen asleep, he rose, and, drawing up a pitch- fork from the stable, through an aperture in the loft, in the dark, stabbed his bed- fellow with it repeatedly. The cries of the wounded man awoke some of the other men, and they prevented Houston from proceeding farther. Houston then went and told his master what he had done, who went to the loft with a candle and found Mackenzie in bed insensible, literally covered with wounds and swimming in blood. A surgeon was procured, and the wounds inflicted on Mackenzie dressed, and Houston was committed to the hands of two constables from Ochiltree, who brought him to Ayr. A precognition of the circumstances was promptly taken, and Houston has been incarcerated for trial on the charge of wounding with intent to murder. Mackenzie has received no fewer than seventeen or eighteen wounds — some on the head, one through the cheek, two in the neck, several on the arms, and one, in particular, in the breast, which, it is feared, has penetrated into the lungs. He is a young man, however, of a good constitution, and, we understand, seems rather recovering, notwithstanding the many severe wounds he has received, but he is not yet considered out of danger. Houston, we believe, makes no secret of his proceedings, deeming the provocation, to which we have referred, some palliation, if not a sufficient excuse, for i t ; but the worst feature in his conduct is the fact that, the night preceding the one on which the bloody transaction we have described, occurred, he hid a chisel behind his bed with the view, as he alleges, of defending himself! As, however, the matter will in all probability undergo judicial investigation, and that, too, whether the lad Mackenzie live or die, we refrain from going farther into the matter; but enough has been said to furnish a caution against provoking or exciting the passions of those whose senses are in any degree imperfect.— Ayr Advertiser. ( From the Liverpool Mercury of Friday.) A few months ago a premium of £ 500 was offered by the Directors of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company, fin- the locomotive carriage of the best construction, and copbiniug in the highest degree the advantages of velocity and draught. On Tuesday last the experiments to ascertain the merits of different carriages which have been entered f'or the prize were commenced, and they have been since continued daily, in order to ascertain, satisfactorily, their different merits. The spot chosen for the experiments was a portion of the railroad, near Rainhill, about ten miles from Liverpool, which is on a perfect level, and is, therefore, admirably adapted for the purpose. The ground was crowded with spectators from Liverpool and the neighbourhood to the number of 10,000 or 15,000, and it presented something of the appearance of a race- ground, but that the accommodations for the refreshment and more solid comfort of visitors were lamentably deficient. The following gentlemen were the umpires or judges:— J. M. Rastrick, Esq. of Stourbridge; N. Wood, Esq. of Killingworth, and J. Kennedy, Esq. of Manchester. There, were also several other gentlemen from different parts of the kingdom, eminent f'or their scientific and mechanical knowledge, on the ground. The following is a description of the carriages :— No. 1.— Messrs Braithwaite and Erickson. of London ; " The Novelty ; " weight 2 tons, 15 cwt. 2.— Mr Ackworth, of Darlington ; " Tbe Sans Pared;" weight 4 tons, 8 cwt. 2 qr. 3.— Mr Robert Stephenson, Newcastle- upon- Tyne ; " The Rocket;" weight 4 tons, 3 cwt. 4 Mr Brandreth, of Liverpool; " The Cycloped ;" worked by two horses. 5 Mr Burstall, Edinburgh; " The Perseverance;" weight 2 tons, 17 cwt. Of these the four first were exhibited during the day ; but Mr Burstall's did not make its appearance, as it was unfortunately thrown off the, waggon on which it was conveyed to the scene of action, and experienced some injury in the fall. TUESDAY.— The locomotive carriages attracted, of course, the attention of every individual on the ground. They ran up and down the road, during the forenoon, more f'or amusement than experiment, surprising and even startling the unscientific beholders by the amazing velocity with which they moved along the rails. Mr Robert Stephenson's carriage attracted the most attention during the early part of the afternoon. It ran, without any weight being attached to it, at the rate of twenty- four miles in the hour, shooting past the spectators with amazing velocity, emitting very little smoke, but dropping red- hot cinders as it proceeded. Cars containing stone's were then attached to it, weighing, together with its own weight, upwards of' seventeen tons, pi- ep'aratoty to the trial of its speed being made. The precise distance between the point of starting, at or near the weighing shed, to the point of returning, was If mile ; but in the adjudication of distances, the judge allowed a furlong at each end for tile acquirement and abatement of speed. With a load of 12| tons gross, the Rocket travelled the above space of 1 \ mile, four times forward and backward, equal to 14 miles, in the space of 75 minutes, exclusive of stoppages; but including the stoppages, the average rate v.- us 10.^ miles per hour. But in the fifth course the rate of speed, with a load, augmented by passengers until equal to 13 tons, was full 15 miles an hour. Mr Ackworth, of Darlington, ran his carriage along the course during the day; but no trial of its speed with weights took place on Monday. Mr Winan's machine, worked by two men, and carrying six passengers, was also on the ground. It moved with no great velocity, compared ttMhe locomotive steamcarriages, but with considerable spSed, considering that it was put in motion by human power. One of its wheels was, we believe, slightly damaged, in the course of the afternoon, by Mr Ackworth's locomotive steam- carriage. Mr Brandreth's horse- power locomotive engine exhibited. not in the way of competition, but as exercise. About fifty persons clung round the waggons, giving a gross weight, with the machines, of about five tons, and, with this weight, the horses ( themselves moving scarcely one mile and a quarter an hour) propelled tile waggons and load exactlv at the rate of five miles an hour. This could scarcely be called a fair trial of the ingenious in. ventor's machine, nor was it as such considered by the judges. The engine of Messrs"; Braithwaite and Erickson, of London, was universally allowed to exhibit, in appearance aud compactness, the beau ideal of a locomotive engine. Its performance, whilst exercising without a load, was most astonishing, passing over a space of 2f miles in seven minutes and a quarter, including a stoppage. With this delay its rate of speed was about 23 miles an hour. While running, the progress was upwards of 28 miles an hour. Owing to a variesy of circumstances this engine was prevented from being ready to start with a load until a late hour, when, at the re7 quest of tbe Directors, its exhibition was postponed until CALEDONIAN HUNT AND PERTH MEETING.

From Monday to, Thursday last; inclusive, tye_ l) ay% had. one continued'gale, fto ® . the northward, blowjng,- frequently in very violent squalls, accompanied: with, heavy showers of rain and hail. Such tempestuous, weather, although the harbinger of winter, has, from, its piercing cold, by no means been so unfavourable, to the crop as might have been supposed. The, grain ill the stack- yard has been kept cool so as to, prevent any tendency to heating; and the stooks have also been preserved in a wholesome state, andj latterly been so thoroughly dried as to he securcd in, good order. Indeed the harvest mny be said to be. now about concluded in the lower districts, and rapidly advancing to its termination generally overthe country, with every appearance of nearly a fairaverage crop, both of oats and barley. The season, so, unpropitiousand tdarming at the commencement, has, proved, on the whole, rather favourable than otherwise, for bringing to maturity and securing the crop, of corn, as well as of that indispensible esculent, potatoes, which are both abundant and excelleritt in quality.— Aberdeen Chronicle. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE— On M o n d a y last, a party of five boys went out to Aberdeen bay witha small rigged pleasure- boat; and after enjoying themselves for some time in tacking about, landed, at the south pier, two of their number, who seemed, to prefer getting again on terra firma. The otherthree, in prosecuting their perilous amusement, soon, found themselves unable to gain the harbour, anil were driven before a strong galei which had now, connnenced from the northward. Their perilous si-, tuation as they drifted before the gathering storm, was happily observed by the coast- guard at the, Cove, part of whom, launching one of their large, boats, pushed it off double- manned to tbe assistanc& of the hapless youths. At the critical moment, when their fate hung as il were upon the effect ofeach succeeding wave, their little boat filling with, water, and two of them abandoned to despair, lyingin the bottom, crying pit ously, while the third was, exerting a strenuous but vain endeavour lo bail out the water with his hat, the poor boys were providentially rescued from the imminent danger which they had unguardedly brcughton themselves. The, preventive boat, after coming alongside, succeeded, although with great difficulty, in getting them, aboard— of necessity abandoning the smull boat, which, no doubt, soon went to the bottom. The. unfortunate adventurers were landed when the violence of the storm rendered it now a work of 110, small labour to the liaidy crew of the preventive, guard to reach the shore, and were, after beinghumanely treated in their exhausted stale, restored next " day to their distracted parents and relatives. LOSSES BY THE FLOODS.— Returns have been, made by several of the gentlemen in Inverness anil Moray shires, who sustained losses by the late unprecedented Hoods, which sufficiently evince the extent of that great national calamity.

Grantown ' l'ryst, held on ' Thursday week, was well attended, and a number of black cattle was disposed of, at prices a little above those obtained at the last Muir of Ord market. Some superior animals, fit for the flesher, fetched very high prices, and a great deal of money has; been left in the country by the drovers. . Castlcton of Braeinar market was held on Monday last. The show of sheep was very Urge, the greater part were from Strathspey and Strathdon, of very inferior quality, and sold from 10s. to 15s.; those in better condition fetched from 18s. to 24s., and met a ready sale. Few; cattle were brought forward ; for lean stock there was no demand; a few droves of superior well- fed cattle were disposed of to the butchers, at somewhat reduced prices, from late markets. The weather has, for the last few days, been veiv boisterous. On Tuesday, a quantity of snow fell in Badenoch and Strathspey, and it drifted so much, that few could leave their houses. The damage done by the floods iu these districts is much greater than was at first supposed. Horses in many places, can scarcely be led through the fields to carry off the corn, as they sink so deeply into the soil, that they can, with difficulty, extricate themselves. On Wednesday night a considerable quantity of snow fell heie, ut melted immediately. In the vallies the reapers have cut the greater part of the corn, but in some of the higher districts, the farmers have not yet comr menced the application of the sickle to oats. Inverness Journal.

To be SOLD by public roup, within the Royal Exchange Coffeehouse, Edinburgh, on Wednesday the 18th day of November next, at two o'clock afternoon, subject to the approbation of the Court of Session, in either of the Divisions thereof, HHHE LANDS of CASTLELANDHILL, iif JL the Parish of Inverkeithing, within a mile of thaf Burgh, and of North Queensfeiry. This is a beautiful farm, consisting of about 157 Scots acres or 197 imperial, of arable, about 51 Scots acres or 65 imperial, of pasture ground, susceptible of very great' improvement, and commanding a view of the whole range of the Forth in both directions, nnd of the grounds of Hopetoun, Dundas Castle, and Datmeny Park On the> opposite side. The pasture ground presents singulis a.' vantages for a residence. Tile exposure is to the Forth on the south, and parts of it are particularly adapted for ornamental planting. This property is bounded on ti e south by the Forth, and is in the immediate neighbourhood of the great North Road, and of those from Dunfermline, Alloa, and Stirling, from the former of which places it is about four miles distant. The arable land is well suited for the cultivation of all sqrt* of grain Th. present rent is very low, the lands being possessed undet a lease which commenced at, Martinmas 1751, andwi i expire with the life of the tenant, who is of a very a. : • vanced age.

AGRICULTURAL MEETING, AND GENERAL SHOW AT PERTH. The great agricultural meeting a# d general show of live stock', ' implements, roots, seeds. & c., was held at Perth on Wednesday, uneier the direction of the honourable D. G. Hallyburton, Convener, and a Committee of the Highland Socieiy of Scotland. The day was most favourable, and the general results were very honourable to the district -, and notwithstanding tbe immensity of the crowd, and the number of the animals paraded, the arrangements which the Committee had previously fi-. ad e, enabled them to bring the business of the day to a conclusion, very much to their own satisfaction, and without any accident. In many material points, the Depot, if it had been constructed purposely for such an exhibition, could not possibly have been very much altered for the better, a circumstance which enhanced very considerably the value of the accommodation so handsomely granted to the Society, by the Master- General of the Ordnarce. of the use of these premises for the day. The show- yard was fitted up in a very satisfactory manner by Mr Murray, Carpenter to the Board. An extensive platform on the tower, over which a temporary covering was erected, afforded a commanding view of the whole progress of the Show, and gave an easy and safe retreat to a great assemblage of ladies who graced the meeting with their presence. Tbe quabty of stock produced, it may be safely stated, has not been exceeded at any previous exhibition in Scotland. In the great variety'of departments for which premiums were advertised, ( and there was scarcely a class in which competition did not take place), it may be faid, 11, at there was haidly an objectionable animal produced; and the splendid turn out in that compartment of the yard which was dedicated to extra stock, ( where cf course, the exhibitors were untrammelled by restriction or limitation), showed tbat the success of the exhibition was more owing to the general spirit of improvement existing in the country, than to a mere rigid adherence to the production of those classes of atimals lor which the Society's premiums are offered. It is impossible, ir. the ordinary limits of a report, to do justice to all the varieties of individual merit, which would have been worthy of recording; but in going through the classification of the different departments, we shall endeavour to notice, in some detail, those lots which happened to meet our own observation, being perfectly aware that time alone was wanting, previous to the closing of the gates, to have enabled us, without any sacrifice cf principle, to have added materially to our enumeration. Premiums were advertised and awarded for no less than six different species of cattle, viz. tbe short- horned, An- J? is- shire, Aberdeenshire, Highland, Fifeshire, and Ayrshire breeds. Of these tlie most numerous class, and one which speaks very distinctly for the merit of the exhibitors, seeing that the breed has been so lately introduced generally into Scotland, is the distinguished class of short- horn cattle. In this class premiums were awarded for hulls, cows, oxen crossed with other breeds, and pure heifers. Thirteen bulls were present. d for competition ; and the premium of 15 sovereigns was carried off by Mr Hunter of Mor. organ's Cowrie, by Linton and a descendant of Eastern Comet. Several of the other lots in this class attracted the observation of the judges, particularly one belonging to Mr Moubray of Cambus, and bred by Mr Grey of Milifield ; a fine haired and handsome fronted bull of Mr Ritchie's of Bow- house, bred by Mr 11 en roe of Phantassie J and a first- rate handler, the property of Mr Thomson of Bathillet. Cupar Fife, and bred by the late Mr Thomson of Pusk. Mr Kinnear of Lochtown's bull was remarked as proffering an exceedingly good quality of beef; and thebull Newton, the property of Messrs. Liston and Richmond, showed to less advantage from an accidental inferiority of condition. Mr Murray of Murraysball's wanted size to be successful in such a competition, but its handling is good, and it shows points of the right kind. On the whole this may well be considered to have been a very respectable exhibition of bulls, and a wonderful one when the short period that this breed has been generally introduced in Scotland is taken into computation. Eleven cows of the same breed were entered for competition ; and tbe judges hesitated long and anxiously between two which wire distinctly, in their estimation, entitled to a preference over all the others. They ultimately decided in awarding tbe premium of 10 sove-. reigns lo a spotted eow, the property of the Duke of Bucckucb, aud bred by his Grace, chiefly from the superiority of handling. The other was a roan cow of Mr Hunter's of Monorgan, bred by Mr Graham of Broxie, possessing in no common degree the characteristic gaity of this celebrated breed. It is rather remarkable, that this cow, which ran the other so hard for the premium, was bred from a cow which was selected some years ago from the herd at Dalkeith. Mr Moubray of CaiTibus's cow, in the same class, and bred by Mr Hood of Long Y'ester Mains, was very much admired. For the best ox of any breed crossed with the short- horn, and showing most symmetry, fat and weight, a premium of 10 sovereigns was awarded to Mr John Thomson of Bathillet, for his ox, 4 years 6 months old, as being de. cidedly superior to the other two entered in competition. Its weight by the tape was estimated at 100 stone 1 lb. ( 14 lbs. to the stone). The next in merit was reckoned Mr Hood's of Hatlon, in Forfarshire, aged 4 veats 4 months, and estimated at !) 2 stone. Sir Niel Menziis produced an ox, aged 5 years 6 months, which was estimated to come within a lb. weight of the prize ox ; but showed greater symptoms of offal. The show of heifers of the short- horn breed was perhaps the strongest department in the yard: and probably there never was so good a display of them before at any exhibition short of Doncaster. Some persons very completely qualified to judge of this species of stock, thought it the most remarkable show of them which they had ever seen. Nine lots were entered in pairs, and ftll of them under 30 month sold. The premium of ten tovereigns was awarded to Mr Moubray, one of them bred by himself, and the other by Mr Hood of Y'ester. Both these beautiful animals were descended from a celebiat. d Bull of the name of Duke ; and their daps were Nell Cwynn and Ilarriettc Wits, rt, two cows of the purest. Tees water blood. Another pair bred by Mr Bruce of Kelso, were very much noticed ; and also an admirable pair belonging to Colonel Wemyss, one bred by him, » r- d the other by Mr Rennie. The lots belonging to Mr Dron of Black- Ruthven, Mr Dudgeon of Falklandwood, Mr Duncarrof Cargill, Mr Stephens of Balinadies, Mr John Thomson of Hatbillet. and his Grjce the Duke pf Buccleuch, were each worthy of being individually pained. Hie Judges of the extra stock reported the following Stock IO be entitled to the Society's silver medals, viz :— the Duke of Buccleuch's short- born heifer, 18 months Old j a fat short- horn eow, belonging to Mr Thompson of Wlmefiel'J, bred by MrDalgairns; two short- born cows, bred by Mr Waddel of Muirtown, r. ear Perth ; and Mr Jolly of Grange of Elcho's two steers, a cross between the Ayrshire and the short- lorn. The three next premiums being for Angus cattle, were parried off by tile excellent, and on the present occasion, we may truly say, unrivalled breed of Mr Hugh Watson ot Keillor. Great and universal as was the admiration which '. eas bestowed on Mr Watson's bull, cow, and pair of oxen, it did create surprise, that in such a county the shrinking from competition should be so complete.— These oxen, however, were certainly very remark, ajde both from their symmetry and size. The bull shewn by tbe honourable Captain Ogilvy in this class, was an animal deserving notice. An extra premium Was awarded to Mr Watson, lot his lot of 10 Angus tows, A premium of 10 sovereigns for Aberdeenshire oxen, Shewing the most symmetry, fat, and weight, was awarded to Mr Robert Walker, Ferrygate, North Bcr. wick ; and the successful pair were sold upon the spot to Messrs Lockhart and Mutiie, fleshers in Glasgow, for £ 70- In the department of the Highland breed, there was » n excellent display. The premium of 15 sovereigns for the best bull was gained by Mt P. Macintyre, Tynablar, Perthshire, for a remarkably well shaped little bull, aged gj years, and bred by himself. Mr Macintyre likewise carried the premium of 10 sovereigns for the best cow, Which was bred by Mr D. Stewart of Auch. The prejnium ot ten. sovereigns for the oxen of this breed show- | t, g most symmetry, fat, and weight, was awarded to Sir Ned Mcrzies; and 10 sovereigns to General Balfour of Balbirnie, for two Highland oxen tbat had never been boused. An extra premium of seven sovereigns was Voted to Mr Menzies of Chesthill, for two heifers of the Highland breed ; and an extra premium of seven sovereigns to Mrs Stewart of Glenlyon- house, for two oxen that had never been boused. The silver medal was voted to Ml Home Drummond, for two West Highland oxen, Bne of them, a dark coloured, being reckoned a particular beauty ; and for another pair, to Mr Stirling of Keir, yhich were very much lauded, and would have rankeel Well for the premium in this class, if they had been entered for it instead of being entered as extra stock. Indeed it Was given as au opinion of very competent authorities on the ground, that Mr Stirling's brown ox was the fattest pf that breed which bad ever been fed in Scotland. Thc Silver medal was also voted to Mr Mgray of Abercairuey {' ora dun West Highland ox; to Mr Oehterlony of Guynd, for a Skibo ox, which was raised in three seasons from 7 to 70 stones ; and to Cept, Stevenson, foi a lot of ^ Vest Highlanders, direct from the liilL Of Ayrshire stock, there were some very beautiful specimens. The premium of 15 sovereigns for a bull was awarded to Mr Wm. Peter, Easter Kilpatrick ; aud 10 sovereigns for a breeding cow, to Sir A. M. Mackenzie of Delyine, Bait. Lord Gray showed a handpome Ayrshire bull, bred by Sir A. M. Mackenzie- Stiver medals were also voted to Lord Balgray for an Ayrshire bull; and to Sit A. M. Mackenzie, for two Ayrshire heifers. The classes of Fifeshire cattle were neither so distinguished nor so numerous. Mr Boswell of Balmuto obtained the premium of 10 sovereigns for a breeding cow ; jind General Balfuur of Balbirnie a similar premium for • t't pair of oxen of the Fifeshire breed, The sheep stock produced in competition consisted of the Leicester, Souflidown, and black- faced breeds. Ten Leicester tups were shown, and the premium of 10 so. yereigns, or plate to that amount, was awarded to tbe j-. Jil of Leveti and Mclyille, for a tii} i bred by the lf) te Genera Charles Hope of Rankeillor. The premium for' ewes was gained by Mr Kinnear, vonnger of Loehtown. though the judges were a good deal divided between that lot and oi e presented by the Earl of Mansfield. The premium for Leicester wethers was given to Mr John Crawford, Ladystown, near Crieff, for a very good lot bred by himself. Lords l. even and Mansfield, and Mr Kinnear, were likewise competitors in this class. In the class of Soutlidowns, tups were shown by Lord I. ynedoch, Mr Hunter of Monorgan, and Mr Murray of Murrayshall. The premium was awarded to Mr Hunter; as well as that for thc ewes of the same breed. A premium for Southdown wethers was gained by the honourable D. G. Halliburton, the pen piesented by him being held superior to those shown for Lord I. ynedoch and Mr Hunter of Monorgan. In the black- faced breed premiums were awarded for Ihe best tup to Messrs Donald and John M'Donald, (,' raigruic and In » erlochraig ; for the best pen of ewes to Mr Charles Stewart of Bunrannoch ; to Miss Rutherford of Glendevon, for the best pen of gimmers; and for the best pen of fat wethers, to the honourable Mr Manle of Panmure. These sheep were bred by Mr Proctor of Glenkilrie, and were sold by him to Mr Maule in 1827- They are now five years and four months old, and have been brought to a prodigious high state of feeding. They were estimated at from 28 to 301b. per qr. In the department of pigs, some very curious specimens were produced. The premium for the best boar was given to Mr David Cuthbert of Inneibuist, having been bred by Mr Martinson of Gillybar. ks ; ar. d that for the best sow to Mr David Caw of Millnab. The ltarl of Leven produced a ve- y handsome animal, a cross between the Neapolitan and the common Fife breed, and preserving very characteristic marks of the foreign breed ; and Mr Mstile shewed a boar, bied by Mr Western, being an union of the Neapolitan and Essex blood, which affords still stronger evidence of the admixture of that very valuable variety. Mr Belshes of Invermay produced a fine specimen of the domesticated wild boar ; and Sir N. Menzies one of the fattest of the Chinese breed which has ever been shown here. Lord Mansfield and Sir N. Menzies exhibited very handsome specimens of sOws of thc Chinese breed. The Judges of the extra show of swine recommended to notice a remarkably large and good hog pig, said to be 50£ Dutch stone weight, belonging to Mr Mailler, Perth. In the competition for horses there was a very respectable turn out. 15 breeding mares were entered, and the premium of 10 sovereigns was awarded to Mr Adam Cuiror of Myreside, near Edinburgh. No pedigree was presented of the mare; but she is understood to have been purchased from Mr Graham, horse- dealer there. One or two other mares were thought to approach near t i her in merit, particularly a grey mare of Mr Boswell o'' Kingcausie, by a Cheshire horse, and a mare bred in Libberton, Mid- Lothian; and a brown mare of Clydesdale breed, belonging to Mr Baird of Forneth, and purchased from Mr Stevenson of Shutterflat; but the general Opinion coincided with the ultimate determination of the Judges in declaring in favour of Mr C'urror's mare. The premium for an entire colt of three- years old was given to a black horse of Mr Sim's of Panlathy, being of the Clydesdale breed ; and tor a filly of the same age to Mr Ritchie of Cairnie, in the neighbourhood of Perth, bred by himself. There was a pretty fair competition of mares not exceeding 14 hands 3 inches, adapted to agricultural purposes in mountainous districts adjoining to the range of the Grampians ; and the premium of 10 sovereigns in thatclass was awarded to Mr D. L. Jolly, tenant at Grange of Elcho, for a mare bred in Kincardineshire, got by Taffy, a remarkable handsome Welsh horse, the property ot Mr Watson of Keillor, out of a very fine cart mare. Of colts of a similar kind, and same age, only one was shown, which was reported to be a good colt. For the best pair of geldings, bred in the county of Perth, only one pair was presented, belonging to Mr Maxton of Cultoquey, which were reported to be handsome, useful horses ; but as one of them exceeded the age prescribed by the Society's regulation, the premium offered could not be awarded, bnt they were recommended to the Directors as worthy of an honorary premium. These horses were bred from the same Cleveland horse ( Mogul) and the same mare, a Wheatear mare. A great variety of hotses were exhibited, as extra stock, which our limits ran only enable us to notice in a very cursory way. Mr Wallace, of Paisley, showed a black stallion, for rearing Low Country stock, of a very gocd description; Mr Sinclair of Methven, a dark- brown stallion, for Highland districts, very deserving of notice; a stallion, belonging to Colonel Wemyss, was reported as a superior animal; Mr Charles Duff of Nether Benehil, a mare ar. d four of ber pioduce, which were much approved of; Mr Stoddart, Dunkirk, Bridge of Earn, a black cart mare, ten years old, very good ; Mr Baird, a bay cart filly, one year old, good ; Mr Ritchie of the Rhynd, a bay filly, well bred, very much approved of. In the apartment for the display of seeds and roots, what appeared to us as meriting our first attention was a collection of grasses, exhibited in pots, in a growing state, amounting to one hundred and forty. four, chiefly distinct species of the most approved sorts of grasses for cultivating in the climate of Scotland, exhibited by Messrs Dickson and Turnbull, nurserymen, Perth. Specimens from a stock of one million live hundred thousand seedling Scots firs, from the forest of Braemar, were exhibited by the same gentlemen. Next in merit, in our opinion, was a collection of 30 specimens of grass seeds of the most approved sorts for culture, and 40 other sorts agricultural seee's, with a few tree seeds, particularly some of the Pinus Cimbra, of which also a growing specimen was exhibited ;— also above 200 dried specimens of grasses carrices. by Messrs Lawson, seedsmen, Edinburgh. The seeds all appeared fresh, and in good keeping slate, and the specimens were ample. About 33 seeds of grasses and other agricultural seeds, were exhibited by Mess s Gibbs, seedsmen, - London— but having suffered by sea carriage, they were shown to a disadvantage. Thiee excellent specimens of Mangle Wurzel, yellow, green, and red, and two varieties of Kohl Rabi, green and purple, of uncommon large size, which were also shown by the same gentlemen. The specimens of Kohl Rabi, now alluded to, are likely to show the importance of its culture to agriculturists. Specimens of Globe and Swedish turnip of uncommon size were exhibited by Mr Dudgeon of Falkland Wood. Some potatoe cakes, said to be useful in feeding calves, were exhibited by L. Oliphant, F. sq. of Oonelie ; but ni. evidence was produced of any lengthened experience of their merits ; and a number of specimens of Indian com from ihe Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, from Glencarte, Murie, Libberton, & c. Some ears nearly ripe appeared in the parcels from the Edinburgh Botanic Gardens, and from Murie—. but they were not accompanied by any declaration that they had not received the aid of forcing. Some of the other parcels contained large ears, but not in that state of forwardness to warrant the expectation that they would ripen this season. The following Implements were laid before thc Committee appointed to report for this department:— A machine for separating the seeds of Hare Grass from grain, by Mr Thomas Jack, West Mill, by Ir. chture. This appears to be a very useful and simple contrivance for tbe intended purpose, with the recommendation of having been successfully employed for several years. An improved machine for sowing turnips, with bone manure, by Mr Alex. Nicoll, Guiicliy, by Panmure. Cost £ 11. This is one of the most perfect machines which has hitherto been exhibited before the Society lor the purpose. The several arrangements of. the machine for regulating ihe quantity of bone dust applied, rolling, & c. seem well adapted to the ends in view. A general drill- dressing implement, by Mr Nicoll. Cost £ 8, 10s.— This is a well executed machine, and extremely useful in its application to the various purposes of a drill crop. A model of an improved portable weighing machine, by Mr John Smith, King's Stables, Edinburgh. Cost £ 12.. This is a well- consiructed and simple machine, and seems to be better suited lor the general purposes of weighing large weights than any similar contrivance that has hitherto been submitted to the consideration of the Society. A parallel adjusting brake, Mr by James Wilkie, Haddington. Cost £ 10— This appears U) be a very useful and ingeniously constructed machine, the arrangements" for adapting it to different depths of soil being at once simple and effective. A riddle or sieve for sizing potatoes, by Mr Henry Tod. Cost £ 2 This machine is of very simple constiuction. It is well adapted, however, for tile intended purpose, and is calculated to save a greal deal ol manual labour. A model of a machine for drilled corn, with adaptations to the varying breadths of different drills ; also by Mr Tod. Cost £ 2 or £ 3.— This machine is ot very simple construction. A common cart— but possessing no properly to recommend it to the attention of the Society, except the substantial manner in , vhich it lias been executed. Cost £ 16, 10s. A cheese press by Messrs Macfarlane and Co. Perth Foundry, Cost £ 3, 10s— This contrivance would answer its intended purpose extremely well; but it is probably too expensive for general use. A model of a draining plough, by Mr R, Robertson, Drip Bridge, by Stirling. Cost £ 10— This machine has not been tried on the large scale, but stems pretty well adapted for its object. A working model of a steam carriage, on a new con. struction— by Peter Elder; of the Perth Foundry. This model, which travels at tile rate of three miles an hour on a smooth surface, was exhibited in action before the Committee, and seemed to answer extremely well When executed on the large scale, it is expected to travel at the rate of ten miles per hour. The boilers for producing the sieam consisted of horiapntal tubes, which are placed before the carriage, but so constructed as to remove all danger in the case of explosion. A safety stage- coach— by Mr Peter Wallace, Perth. This coach; which weighs only 14 cwt, seems to unite strength, lightness, safety, and comfort. The Implements which appeared to the Sub- Commit tee as most deserving of the notice of the Society were the six first mentioned in the above enumeration. The following Sweepstakts entered into by Members of thc Perthshire Farming Society, were decided at the samctime. A SweepsfakeS of £>, 2s. for the best Stol not exceeding 22 months old. Gair. ed by Mr Chatles Wood, Abercairney. For the best two year old Quey, t- orned— One Guinea. Gained by Mr Henry Thomson, Culfargie. For the best 3 year old Cow.— One Guinea. Gained by Mr Henry Thon son, Culfargie. For the best short- horned Cow— One Guinea. Gained by Mr Scott, l. ethindy. For the best half.- bred Horse or Mare, rising 4 yean. One Guinea. Gained by Robert Lyall, Broombarns. For the best 2 year Filly, for agricultural purposes— One Guinea. Gained by Mr Andrew Heed, Coats of Fingask. For the best Filly for the saddle, 1 year old— One Guinea. Gained by Mr G Ritchie, Rhynd. Certainly upon no part of the proceedings does mere depend than the difficult and important duty assigned to the Judges. To the gentlemen who acted in that capa- For the best horned Bull of any bvced, ( the Highland excepted)— Oee Guinea. Guiiletl by Mr Charles Kitiuedl'i of n< is$<) sH city, the Society and the public are under infinite ooliga tions, for their assistance and the admirable manner in which they discharged their duty. The practical Judges of Live Stock, who attended from a distance at the request of the Society, were— Mr Grey of Millfieldhill, Northumberland Mr Jobson, of Chillicgham Newton, Northumberland Mt Heriot of Ladykirk, Berwickshire Mr Thomson of Bogend. Berwickshire Mr Gillespie of Parkhall, Lanarkshire MWWdsor. of DeansMe, Renfrewshire Mr Wilson of Cumlidge, Roxburghshire Mr Sinclair of Kilchamaig, Argyleshire Mr Dick, veterinary Surgeon, Edinburgh The following gentlemen, who came as amateurs, were requested to give their assistance in awarding the Prizes for stock in some of the classes Captain Barclay Mr Fergusson of Woodhill Mr Bell of Woodhouselees Major Forbes Mackenzie of Fodderty Captain Stevenson of Oban Mr Logan. Berwickshire. The Judges of Implements were— Dr Anderson, Perth Mr Symon of Errol Mr Middlemiss, Perth. Of Roots and Seeds- Mr Menzies, factor at Tulliallan Mr Gorrie at Annat Mr Bishop at Methven. The Judges in ihe two last classes were also assfftcd by some Members of the Committee. Scvtial of the eminent Judges from the South very handsomely tcouested that their attendance should be considered as honorary. . There were about 2500 spectators tn the show yard, besides many individuals in charge of stock. We und derstand the Mtmbers of Committee have expres- e their great obligations to Colonel Giiniore. Barrackmaster at the Depot, for the zeal and personal attention he manifested during the progress of tbe whole arrangements. „ THE DINNER. After tbe conclusion of thc Exhibition, 413 noblemen and gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner in the County Hall, prepared by Mr Davidson of the George. The tables were arranged to the best advantage in that spacious room, the use of which was obligingly granted by the County gentlemen, yet, notwithstanding the ample accommodation it affords, a great many intended visitors were disappointed of scats. The chair was taken at half- past five, by the Honourable Mr Halyburton. supported by the Lord Provost of Perth on his right, and on his left by the Very Reverend Principal Baird— Sir John Hope of Pinkie, Preses cf the deputation of Diiectors of the Society, being croupier. Among the distinguished company present were, Viscount Stormont, Lord Kinnaird, l. oid Thomas Hay, the Honourable Captain O^ ilvy, the Honourable W. Maule, M. P., the Honoutable John Gray, the Hon. Baron Sir Patrick Murray, Bart., Sir John Ogilvy, Bart., Sir Niel Menzies, Baft., Sir James Ramsay, Bart., Captain Wemyss of Wmbjjs, M P. with many other landed proprietors and ge(. iWajea of Perthshire and the neighbouring counties, i Principal Baird said grace. VK^ Abe cloth was removed the Chairman gave — The King— three times three. " A. - God save the King. Duke of Clarence and the Royal Family. Tune, of a noble race was Shenkin. Army and Navy. Tune— British Grenadiers. The CHAIRMAN ro6e and stated, that when he saw on either side of the chair, so many noblemen and gentlemen, oliler membets, and more particularly connected wi. h'the Highland Society of Scotland than he was, lie felt it necessary to preface the toast he was about to give with some explanation of the cause of its having fallen to his lot to occupy the chair. The President and Vice- President for the year were unavoidably absent— and in such circumstances it was the practice that the Convener of the General Committee should occupy thisplace. He craved the kind indulgence of the Meeting in performing the duties of Chairman. ( Applause.) Respecting the Highland Society of Scotland, no panegyric was necessary to point out its utility. It was instituted by Royal Charter in 1784, immediately following the conclusion of the American itar, and nearly at the commencement of a period when men's minds were almost universally excited, by the most extraordinary political movement that any age ever witnessed. About this time several gentlemen of lantled property began to introduce an improved system of agriculture. All of these it was impossible to name, but he would mention in particular Lord Kaimes, not only a great practical farmer, but who by his writings gave a new direction to the thoughts of bis countrymen, on this important subject. Next, in Kincardejfhire, there wab the lute Mr Barclay of Urie, who did not think it beneath him to go to England to learn the system of agriculture then practised in Norfolk, which he introduced with improvement into his own neighbourhood, and thus formed a centre from which emanated many of the most valuable modern improvements. The objects of the Society would be best understood by stating its results. At first only a few gentlemen of highland property associated for the improvement of the highland districts. They were not men so much of theory as of practice. He could not omit to mention the first president, the Duke of Argyll, a name dear to Scotland, a man highly esteemed and venerated by all who knew him; whose energy, and rar. k, and urbanity of manners contributed much to the success of the original institution, and who, he hoped, would be as long remembered as a Campbell can be found in Argyllshire to transmit his fame to posterity. ( Cheering.) He would next mention one, whose name has been long associated with the prosperity of agriculture, and whose statistical labours are so well known and have been found so generally useful, need he say, be meant Sir John Sinclair? ( Applause.) Nor could he pass over the name of the original secretary of the Society, Mr Maidonald of St Martins, without whose valuable assistance many most important objects would not have been carried. ( Applause.) As an antiquary, he ( the Chairman) had endeavoured to discover in what part of Edinburgh the Society held its first meeting. In this he had been Unsuccessful, but he bad pleasure in stating, that, wherever its meetings were situated, the Society had continued to go on iti a steady course of improvement. About five or six years ago, the Society resolved to have a great annual show of live stock in different parts of the country, for the purpose of carrying their benefits, if not to every man's door, at least within every man's teach. There was a peculiarity, however, in their present meeting, which had not characterised any of the preceding ones. ' Ibis was the first time, that the Highland Society bad really planted itself upon the borders of the Highlands, and was enabled at once to shake hands with the Gael ardthe Saxon. ( Applause.) He would conclude by congratulating the Society aril the country on the result of this day's meeting. Others, far abler than he, would give an account of it, but he was happy to say, that good humour ar. d an evident interest in the success of the meeting prevailed throughout the day, and, he trusted, this would r. ot be the last meeting of the kind in Perth, or at least not the last north of the Frith. The honourable gentleman then gave, •'' The Highland Society of Scotland, and prosperity to it." ( Immense cheering.) Tune, Owie the Muir arnang the Heather. The CHAIRMAN next observed that they would be culpably wanting in their manifestations of gratitude and respect, were they to omit recognizing the accommodation and kindness which they Had experienced in the city of Perth, and the polite attention of its tulers— he would therefore dedicate a bumper to the Lord Provost and Magistrates of Penh—' 1 hree times three. Tune— Auld Stewarts back again. Provost STEWART, in returning thanks, expressed the high gratification which he and his colleagues felt in meeting the Society on such an occasion, and the deep sense which he entertained of the distinction of being thus noticeel by the honourable chairman. His approbation of tbe exertions of the Society he wanted words adequately to express, but was sure that when fostered by gentlemen of'such zeal and activity, industry and enteiprise must flourish and meet their due reward. With regard to the honourable chairman in particular, any thing he could attempt to express in commendation of his patriotic spirit and exertions, would fall infinitely short of his deserts. The provost dedicated a bumper to the honourable chairman, which was hailed with three times three, and e'. ery demonstration of applause. Tune — A man's a man for a' that, The CHAIRMAN feared he had already trespassed too far upon the patience of the meeting, but could not resist acknowledging the flattering, and, he must say, exaggerated terms of commendation bestowed. He would beg to return sincere thanks, and if he had been enabled to promote the interests of the Society ill any degree, the consciousness of having done so, was more than an adequate reward, The CHAIRMAN then observed, that it must be in the recollection of many present, who attended the Cattle Show at Glasgow, that their Prescg, the Duke of Hamilton, presided, and by them the urbauity ar, d condescension of his conduct on that occasion could never be forgotten.— His Grace the Duke of Hamilton's health was then given, with three times three. Tune — Nae luck about the house In proposing the health of bis Grace the Duke of , A| holl, the Loid lieutenant of Perthshire, he did atlvcrl lo him in that character alone, hut as . one of tbe ( earliest members of the Highland Society— as one of the most extensive landed proprietors, and, without exception, the first planter in the land. His Grace's health was rapturously hailed. The next toast was Lord Bercsford and the Board of Ordnance, who had favoured them with the use of the very best place in Britain for the exhibiiion. The toast, he had now to propose, should be received with all and more than " all the honours." Were he to consult his own feelings, he could not mention it without a preface, in terms of the highest praise ar. d panegyric, but nothing he could say, however forcible and appropriate, could enhance the character of the distinguished individual he had in view. He had long associated with a r. oble Duke, now at the head of the Government, in the arduous duties of the field, and it certainly gave his friends tbe highest pleasure to have their talents joined in directing the Cabinet. Sir George Murray, member for this county, had, in his capacity of Secretary for the Colonies, been labouring assiduously to improve the condition of those detached parts of our dominions, and also, in conjunction with the Duke of Wellington, his energies were turned to tranquilise the sister island, and to ameliorate the evils, which still unfortunately distracted her. " Sir George Murray, and may he be as successful in the pursuits of peace as he was powerful anel irresistible in war." Three times three, and thunders of applause. Sir PATRICK MURRAY felt, th t h e should be very wanting indeed in respect to the Meeting and also to his brother, if he omitted to acknowledge the honour thus done him, yet he regretted having so often to do for him what he could so much better do for himself, for the simple sense of his own wouis was the best interpreter of his own character. Certain he was, that his brother would have rejoiced to be here, but his attention to foreign interests prevented him from enjoying the exhibition of home produce and home character, of which they had witnessed so gratifying specimens that day.— Tune, Braes ot Ochtertyre. The health of I ord Lynedoeh was giyen from the chair, and most rapturously received. The CHAIRMAN intimated, that, in the toast he was about to propose, he had in his eye certain gentlemen, w- thout whose most valuable assistance even the admirable exhibition of this day might have been of little avail, he meant the practical Judge?, who had so handsomely undertaken the duty of deciding between the competitors for excellence. Their healths were then given, with all the honours. Mr GREY of Millfi- ldhill, Northumberland, an eminent agriculturist, politely and eloquently returned thanks for himself and the other Practical Judges, of whom he was the junior. The office and uuty of Judges in such a case, was not throughout and altogether very agreeable, for even the most faithful discharge of their functions necessarily implied disappointment, and perhaps displeasure. Some of course must be unsuccessful; and he would beg of such gentlemen as had been so, to m ike allowance, on their own part, for feelings of selfishness, which was common to us all, and, on the part of the Judges, the fallibility which attaches to human nature. Without such charitable a'lowanees, the Judges could not expect to meet with their cordiality. For the consolation of such lie would say, that they had all exhibited such specimens of produce this day, as warranted the Judges to encourage them to perseverence, which he trusted they would not neglect. Mr Grey, after expressing the warmest feelings of gratification, in haying the honour of being entrusted on this occasion, concluded by giving as a toast—" The Unsuccessful Competitors." The CHAIRMAN said, that as the unsuccessful competitors had been disposed Of, and in the order they ought to be, for want of success generally precetlea success, he would now give—" The Successful Competitors." Sir NEIL MENZIES briefly returned thanks for himself and the successful competitors. ADAM FERGUSON, Esq. of Woodhill, said that they were not met here for hilarity alone, but also for instruction and improvement. He would beg to introduce to their notice a reaping machine, the invention of a self- taught genius in Forfarshire. He held in his han 1 various certificates to its utility and efficacy, which he would read to the meeting; and as there were so many gentlemen present from all parts of Scotland, and even from various districts of England, he would take this opportunity of recommending Mr Bell's important invention to all practical men. At this period of the evening, Mr Fergusson also read the awards of the Judges of Stock, an accurate statement of which will be found above. This be followed up with a high eulogium upon tbe disinterestedness, integrity, and impartiality of the Judges in their decision. The next toast was—" The Ladies connected with the Highland Society, and in particular the Marchioness of Stafford, as standing at their head. ( Cheeis anil applause.) In proposing the health of a distinguished individual, the Chairman telt himself restrained by his presence from entering at length into topics peculiar to him and his character. But briefly, as an old and active member and <- haplain of the Highland Society— as an ornament to the Church of Scotland, and as the head of a University, he would crave a bumper to the health of the very reverend Principal or, his left band— Principal Baiid. Three times three. Tur. e— College Hornpipe. Principal BAIRD having obtained leave to propose a toast, begged to express his grateful acknowledgments of the Chairman's courtesy and attention. In course of the proceedings this evening, he had observed one, and only one instance, of his having acied without his usual tact. That had just now occurred, for it was injudicious to give out to a preacher too many texts, and in this case three had been proposed. He trusted to be excused, however, if on each of these he should be very brief. For nearly forty years he had been chaplain to the Highland Society, and be held no office in his estimation more honourable. His labours were few and light in this fi. ld, and his only wish was, that they might be a6 productive in improvement of the mind, as the Society's exertions in the improvement of the country, and particularly of Live Stock. With regard to the second text, thc Church of Scotland, he was glad to observe that it stood high in the estimation of all good and great men, as also of the present assembly. In respect to the third topic, namely, the College, he must revert to the eloquent and appropriate opening speech of the Chairman, during which he felt considerable uneasiness at the allusions to its having remained stationary so lor. g after the tide of improvement had set in towards the north. He did, indeed, leel alarm, lest the inference was to be drawn, that it was to be classed with some other venerable institutions of the same kind, which modern notions held as improperly situated, and which had been compared to ponderous vessels moored inactive in a noble river, and floating heavily, heedless of the passing stream of improvement which run along. For the University of Edinburgh, however, he would say, that it was attending to the march of intellect in literature and in science, diffusing its stores of intelligence not only along the Norili Bridge and over the North Loch, but extending its moral, religious, philosophical, and political influence over Europe and the whole known world. He trusted its Professors would long continue to disseminate their intelligence, and support the proud distinction the Seminary has attained to. Having now ceased sermonizing, he would give a toast, prefaced by a few sentences. He was aware that, on the south side of the Forth, it would be considered a useless and Idle intrusion to expatiate on the subject of it— there his name was sufficient— but here these were comparatively strangers. The health of Sir John Hope, he was sure, would be drank with enthusiasm as long as man continued to appreciate private excellence joined with high patriotic teeling. Under the influence of these qualities, he had strenuously laboured to advance every measure calculated to promote his country's benefit. When his country's existence was in dan. ger, be left the citcles tf private society, and assuming the swoid, acquitted himself with honour and distinction as a military commander, and still continues to foster that glorious spirit which, he hoped, would ever animate the jucn of Scodand to stand forth ill defence of their country. He hoped that all would, with a kindly and cordial feeling, join in a bumper to the health of their Croupier, Sir John Hope. ( Gnat cheering.) Mr MURRAY of Murrayshall, as one of the unsuccessful competitors, begged to propose the health of the Committee, and thanks to them tor their excellent arrangements. The Hon. JOHN GRAY proposed the health of an honourable gentleman, who, either as an encourager of the growth of stock, or as a skilful agriculturist, had strong claims upon their attention. " The Hon. Mr Maule of Panmure." Thrte time three. Tune— Willie was a wanton wag. Mr Maule having just before left the room, the CHAIRMAN begged to return thanks in his name, adding, that as a patron of agriculture, as a liberal landlord, and as a promoter ot the best interests of his country, he did not know his superior. Mr SMALL KEIR begged a bumper to an institution with which the Highland Society was intimately con. nected, and under whose auspicies the useful institution alluded to had commenced its career— the Veterinary School of Edinburgh. This had long been a desideratum in Scotland,— aud now that its usefulness had been so generally felt and apprecialed, the local agricultural institutions could not better appropriate these funds than by sending individuals, there to attain a practical skill which would confer great advantage on the country. Mr Keir then gave " Mr Dick and the Veterinary School of Edinburgh." Mr DICK; returned thanks. A gentleman from Sutlierlandshire begged to embrace this opportunity of calling the Society's attention to the extreme difficulty, or rather impossibility, of conveying Stock from the three most northern counties of Scotland, arising chiefly from the rate of Tolls, but more especially from the absolute, impossibility of obtaining a resting place for these droves during the journey. This Siibject was earnestly taken up by the Chairman, by Mr Ferguson and others. They declined entering upon its discussion however, this not being the proper time pr place, and pledged themselves to give them due attention in the proper quarter. " Major Bclshcs of the late Perthshire Yeomanry Cavalry" being given, Sir DAVID MONCRIEFF, the senior officer present, returned thanks, aud said that although which all must rejoice— encreascd pcaee at home and abroad— yet he must ever regret thc loss of tbe opportunities of social intercourse with his friends and neighbours, which die meetings of that body afforded. Mr FERGUSON of Woodhill had once been a member of the Edinburgh Corps, but had exehaiig'd into that of his native county. Whatever difference of opinion might exist as to the comparative merits of the two corps, he would only say that he never had been, nor desired to be under a better commander than Sir David Moncrielf, whose individual health he now begged to propose. [ It is impossible, adequately, to describe the enthusiastic manner in which this toast was received, or the feeling manner in which Sir David received and acknowledged this gratifying mark of personal regard.] Mr SMALL KEIR proposed the health of the honorary office- bearers— particularly Mr M'Donald of Staffa, principal Secretary, and Mr lnt. es of Stow, which was received with all the henours. Mr TROTTEN of Ballendean in proposing the health of Mr Gordon, the Depute Secretary, adverted briefly but forcibly, to his indefatigable exertions in conducting the more laborious business of the Society, particularly on t h i s oceasiein. Sir JOHN HOPE and Mr M'DONALD of St Martin's followed up Mr Trotter's observations with others equally strong and laudatory— and Mr FERGUSON of Woodhill, in adding his tribute of praise, begged to notice that many of Mr Gordon's duties were not of the most pleasant nature— that there was much tact in doing disagreeable things in an agreeable way— and for this, of all others, Mr Gordon was peculiarly well qualified. Mr Gordon's health was then received with all the honours, and hearty applause. The CHAIRMAN then gave " the Lord- Lieutenant of Mid- Lothian. Sir JOHN HOPE, in the absence of tbe Duke of Buccleuch, returned thanks, and was sorry to say that, from domestic circumstances, his Grace would be prevented from attending the meeting of the Caledonian Hunt, to beheld here next week. Mr CLERK RATTRAY proposed—" Thc Caledonian Hunt, and may their exertions next week be crowned with success."—( Applause.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " Capta n Wemyss, and the Kingdom of Fife." Drank with all the honours. Mr FERGUSON proposed as a toast the peasantry of Scotland"— in introducing which be pronounced a panegyric upon the moral rectitude, industrious habits, and general intelligence of this " important class of the community." The CHAIRMAN in giving the " Rose, Thistle, and Shamrock," gave an animated anil instructive dissertation on the local advantages of Ireland in respect of its soil and climate— ar. d of its internal resources and capabilities, if the energies of its inhabitants were exerted and properly directed. Many other toasts of a public nature, as well as the health of distinguished individuals connected with ihe Society, and with the Counly, were given in course of the evening, which was well liigh spent ere the company finally broke up. FISH— PREMIUMS. giving a weekly average of 2448; which, taken at the moderate price of Is. lid. per dozen, gives altogethfi, independent of any bounty, to each of the seven men ( deducting also one share as the expence of keeping up the boat), thc sum of 38s. 2d. per week ; or, taking the minimum at the very low rate of Is. per dozen, it will yield each man per week 25s. 3d. If ihe weather had permitted, of course the result must have been much more favourable ; but contrasting this with the average sum obtaincd by those at tbe herring fishing, the difference is trivial. Taking the highest average, after deducting expences, at £ e l , for the nine weeks generally occupied, it only yields 40s. fid. per week ; twelve weeks, however, is usually taken up, including the time necessary for preparation, which reduces the sum to not more than 35s. per week. To obtain which many of the individuals must incur extra expence in supporting their families, from which they are separated, and are unavoidably exposed to greater privations. It is therefore most obvious, that if six or eight crews of seven men each, with boats and lines adapted for deepsea fishing, would continue at home, they would not only be able to make a comfortable living for themselves, but regularly supply the Edinburgh market. The sub- committee cannot conclude without expressing their conviction, that this attempt which has been made to increase the supply of white fish during the months alluded to— a defect which has long been com. plained of— will not be without some good results. The supply did not certainly come up to the expectations af the committee, neither was it equal to the demand ; yet, when thc weather did permit, it was regular, and the price continued always moderate ; at the corresponding period of last year, the white- fish market may almost be said to have had no existence, as no fish ( if we except a few flounders) appeared for several months It cannot be expected that the defect was at once to be cured, or that the prejudice of the fishermen should be removed ; but it undoubtedly has had the effect of directing their attention to the most efficient mode of procuring fish for a market which must at all times be certain, and exciting in them a spirit of emulation, which may be advantageous to themselves and to the public in future. Various plans of improvement as to white fishing generally, have been suggested to tbe sub- committee; such as employing small decked vessels in place of the open boats now ukeel; more especially it has been strongly urged, that the Newhaven fishermen should fit out a small steam vessel, with lines and nets adapted for the deep sea fishing, which, from their distance from the fishing station, would prove of incalculable advantage, and enable them at all times to command a pre. fetence in the market— not more by expedition, thai' by the quality and Condition of the fish, that they should, howeier, in the meantime-, take advantage of the numerous opportunities presented of steam tugs for towing their boats i , contrary winds. These other suggestions made, for the better supply of the fish market of Edinburgh gentrally, both as to the common species of white fish— to remedy the complaint, too well loundtd, of the great deficiency at all times of the finer ki ds of white fish, as lurbot and sole; also as to regulate by competition the high price of salmon ; they would leave in the On Thursday a meeting of the subscribers to an Association formed in May last, who offered Premiums for the better supply of the Edinburgh market with white fish during the summer months, was held in the Council Chamber, when the following Report was presented by the sub- committee, on whom bad devolved the charge of the details of the measure :— Edinburgh, Oct. K. 1829. The sub- committee, to which was remitted the arrangement of the details necessary as to tile premiums offered tor the better supply of the Edinburgh markets with white fish during the summer and autumn months, having examined the book kept by the Superintendant of the Fish- market, and having made the requisite calculations according to the scale fixed upon, beg leave to report to the committee and subscribers to the measure, that the premiums should be awarded as follows !— FOR WHITE RISH TAKEN BY SET LINES. 1. That ihe ptemium of £ 20, offered to any fisherman or company of fishermen, not exceeding seven persons, who shall deliver the greatest quantity of fish into the Edinburgh market, in terms of ihe printed regulations, in the 13 weeks between the 20th of June and 20th September ; be awaided to the crew of seven persons of the boat Perseverance of Newliaven, entered in the name of Thomas Aitken, who have very considerably exceeded the minimum quantity stipulated. The total quantity taken by their own lines :— Haddocks 24,128, cod 237, ling 10, whitings, 1867, flounders 1072, rock cod 21, codlings 054. Average of haddocks per week 1855. Total quantity by scale, taking haddocks us the standard, 31,804. Average per week 2444. 2. That the premium of £ 10, offered under the same regulations, be awarded to the crew of six persons of the boat Edinburgh of Fisherrow, entered in the name of James Millar and Sons, who have also considerably exceeded the minimum quantity stipulated. Total sent: — Haddocks 20.903, cod 354, ling 27, whitings 1430, flounders 5420, rock cod 8, codlings 580. Giving a weekly average of haddocks of 1312. Total quantity hy scale, taking haddocks as tbe standard, 30,955. Averaging per week 2381. N. B.— Tbe fish sent by this competitor partly purchased from others, but were quite entitled to be taken into the calculation by the regulations. FOR WHITE FISH TAKEN BY NETS. 1. The premium of £ 5 offered for the greatest quantity of turbot and sole, does not appear to have produced the desired competition. Only one competitor, viz. James Millar, jun. of Fisherrow, entered his name for it, and though he has failed in producing the stipulated weekly supply, yet they would suggest that £ 2, 10s. be presented to him by way of encouragement. The subcommittee are the more surprised at the non- competition lor this premium, as well knowing that the bays on the east coast ( those sent were taken oft" St Monanee) abound with these fish, and Irom the high price they never fail to fetch in the market, they would form a lucrative branch of fishery. 2. The premiums offered for skate and thornback appear also not to have had the effect expected, none of the competitors having complied with the stipulations relative to the amount of weekly supply, as no fish of this kind have been brought to market for two months past. The excise made that skate cannot now be taken by the net, and is out of season, cannot be admitted, as no attempt has of late been made to take them with the net. Those occasionally appearing in the market, taken by the line, have proved of good quality. The sub- committee would, however, recommend that £ 2 be presented to John Came, of the Ellen of Newhaven, who sent, in the first two months of the competition, by far tbe largest quantity to the market. EXTRA PREMIUMS. 1. To encourage the Newhaven fishermen, a premium was offered " to the boat's crew of not more than seven persons, who, within the before specified time, should make the greatest number of trips to the proper fishing station— shooting lines of at least three miles in extent, with not fewer than 4000 baited hooks." This premium— which, from the limited state of the fund, the sub- committee propose should be £ 2, 10s.— falls to be awarded to the boat's crew of seven persons of the Perseverance, Thomas Aiiken, owner, who appear to be the only parties who have complied with the stipulations. This boat has made thirty. six trips within the regulated time— averaging ftom two to three per week, to the deep water, eastward of tbe Isle of May, which appears to be the most - pioductlve at this season of the year, and their fish was also undoubtedly the best. 2. The premiums offered for mackartl did rot produce a regular supply, as it would appear, from the book kept in the market, that no fish of this kind appeared after the 28th of August. The sub- committee suggest, however, tbat £ 2 should be voted to Matthew Spears, of the Brothers of Kirkaldy, by way of encouragement to future attention ta this* neglected branch of fishing. 3. The sub- committee take the liberty of suggesting that two extra premiums should also be voted :— First, £ 3 to Henry Caird, of the Nimble, Fisherrow, for his great exertion ar. d regular supply sent to market, and who appears to be third in the amount of quantity delivered. Second—£ 3 to A. Johnson, of the Moray of Newhaven, whose attention to the maiket has also been very great, and who is fourth in the amount of supply sent. The sub- committee takes this opportunity of recalling attention to the two- fold effect, which was originally proposed in offering these premiums— first, to remove a prejudice very general among the fishermen, that during the summer and autumn months, white fish were not in season, and are scarce and difficult to take, from retiring to deep water— Second, to prove to our fishermen, that it would most unquestionably be for their own advantage that a proportion of them should continue at the white fishing in the Frith of Forth, instead of all of them resorting, to the heiring fishing in the north of Scotland. On the first point it is merely necessary to observe, that it has this season been proved to demonstration, that the quality of haddocks, and the other kinds of white fish, which have appeared ill tile market, continues of unabated excellence during the months of July, August, and September, and tile large quantity taken by one boat at any one irip in ordinary weather, forms a complete refutation of the notion, that white fish are not to be had in these months, and that the supposed ravages and destruction of lines by the dog fish, is not a greater obstacle to fishers than during most other periods of the year. As to the second point, upon which must chiefly depend the; supply. of our market at the season referred to — as annual premiums for this purpose cannot be expected, and would not be expedient— the sub. committee, while they cannot but regret that the boisterous state of the weather during a great part of July and August, was most unpropitious for the fair trial of this experiment, as otten for days together the fishing boats c- iuld not put to sea ; yet they think enough has been done to show the advantages to the fishermen themselves of prosecuting, during this season,. the white fishing, and would, therefore, direct their attention to what has been done by Thomas Aitken's crew, who have obtained the first premium. This active and enterprising crew have sent into the Edinburgh market, in thirteen e. 1 he pu attention, they presume, has now been sufficiently di. rected to this subject; and they would conclude by strongly recommending to the fishermen who supply our markets to adopt every improvement which experience has suggested, both in boats and tackling, if they would prosecute their line of life with advantage. Abstract nf the total quantity of white fish delivered into the Edinburgh market, from the 18th June to 28th September inclusive, extracted trom book kept by the Superintendent ol the market. 1.

The successful competitors, who were in attendance, were then called in, and the premiums which had been awarded, paid over to them. They seemed generally satisfied with the result, and several of the. n slated they had made more by continuing at home than if they had gone to die herring fishing. With reference to thc state of the subscription, which it appeared was several pounds short of the required amount, and to the propriety of perhaps continuing the plan for another season, the Lord Provost approved highly of the scheme, and suggested that the subscription book should be sent round, when he doubted not, an adequate subscription wou d be obtained towards a measure so very important, and so highly beneficial to tbe inhabitants. Saturday last, on the banks of the Carron, the honour of the silver arrow was shot for by the members of the Denny Archer's Club. Alter a keen contest, the arrow was regained by John Wilson, Esq. Broompaik. Also, two arrows, with poison under their barbs, formerly belonging to one of tbe savage tribes on the coast of Africa, were shot for, and gained by Mr Wilson. Notwithstanding the lather unfavourable state of the weather, thero was a considerable display of beauty and fashion on the field. After the sports were finished, the members sat down to an excellent dinner in Mrs Ure'a Inn. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LEITH. Arrived, October 10. Betsey, Budge, from Thurso, gran and kelp.
