S U B S C R I P T I O N S FOR THE POOREST OF TIIE SUFFERERS BY THE GREAT FLOOD, ON THE 3 D AND 4TJI OF AUGUST 1829. • IN MORAYSHIRE AND THE IMMEDIATELY ADJOINING DISTRICTS. IN soliciting contributions for the relief of the destitute sufferers in' Morays| iire and it's neighbourhood by the'Storm and Inundation on the 3d and 4th of August last, it may be necessary lo state, that from the certified Reports from the SUb- comniitteeS of the Nineteen Parishes of Morayshire alone, it appears that there are nearly 400 cases of suffering by individual poor householders, a large proportion of whom havefamilies dependent upon . them, and others are totally helpless " from sickness and the infirmities of age- Many of these have had their houses, provisions, furniture, in short, their little all, swept away, and are left entirely destitute of any other support, than what the hand cf charity may extend to them. A considerable sum has already been collected, but yery inadequate. to the, amount of the loss sustained, and to the pressing wants of the sufferers. Contributions are therefore darpestly requested, which the Committee at Elgin will undertake to distribute with " impartiality and discrimination. The Committee consists ofthe Provost and Clergymen of Elgin, the Sheriffsubstitute of the county, and twelve respectable inhabitants, and they have the aid of a Sub- committee in each parish. Subscription papers are left at the following places, viz Sir William Forbes and Co.' s; Messrs Riunsays, Bonars, and Co.' s; Messrs Waugh and Inncs; Messrs Whyfe and Co.; Messrs Lindsay and Co.; and Mr Robert Johns'on, North Bridge.

" Alexandria, near Peterhof, 12th ( 24 th) Sept. 1829. ( Signed) " NICHOLAS." Prussian State Gazette, Oct. 9. ( From the Messager des Chambres of Wednesday.) Letters from Constantinople, dated September 20, and from Corfu, September 2- i, received at Marseilles, via Ancona and Leghorn, announce that all the western part of the province of Roumelia, as well as the whole of Bosnia and Albania, are in insurrection against the Sultan and the Russian army. The chiefs of the districts have made a levy en masse of all the Mussulmans of these countries, who are condHcted to Sophia and Comanova, where the Pachas of Bosnia and Albania are established with an army of 50,000 men. They are inspired by the most ardent fanaticism, and believe themselves to be destined to avenge the sacred cause betrayed by the Stdtan and his Council. They long to march upon Constantinople, as the pillage of that opulent city presents the most inviting attraction to their imaginations. On the other hand, the English Government is making very menacing preparations for war at Corfu, and nearly 15,000 men are now assembled there. The Turks assert that they shall be able to get whatever munitions of war they may require from the Ionian Islands, and that the English will disembark in Albania and in Epirus, if circumstances permit. The Pachas of Bosnia and Albania had formed the plan of proceeding towards the right flank of the Russian army, with a view to put themselves in communication with tbe Ayan of Salonica. The signature of the preliminaries of peace and the orders of the Sultan at first arrested their march ; but having obtained a knowledge of the humiliating conditions imposed upon the Ottoman Empire, and particularly of that part of the stipulation which would render it the tributary of a Christian Power, they adroitly fomented an insurrection amongst themselves, the consequence of which is that they seem to have been forced by their soldiers to continue the hostilities. Persons who are well acquainted with the extent of Oriental dissimulation, think that the Sultan sent to these two Pachas, by one of his most intimate confidants, a verbal order to continue their movement, to strengthen their army by continually recruiting in the provinces, and to do all the havoc possible to the Russian army, avoiding any fixed battles, Mahmoud, it is said, bad the intention of rejoining these Pachas, with the 25 or 30,000 men whom he has still with him, and to continue the war in the western part of his states; but he now feels, that to abandon Constantinople would be to abandon the key, the head and soul of the empire; and that it would even be to abandon the sceptre. The position of the Turkish army at Sophia greatly embarrasses General Diebitsch, and forces him to concentrate his forces at Adrianople. Generals Gcismar and Kisselew have, it is true, passed the Danube, with a view of marching on Sophia; but the retreat of tile Turks to the south or the west is easy, and they can maintain a long and obstinate war in these mountainous countries. They are besides masters of Widdin, Rutschuck, and Giurgevo, whilst General Kisselew has only a slight bridge over tbe Danube, to communicate with Moldavia, so that the Turks may make continual irruptions into that province. The consent of the Sultan to the preliminaries signed on the 11th at Adrianople was in some soit gained by surprise. The Russians with a few forces had made several bold and rapid marches; they bad pushed a point upon Enos and Rodosto, and they had even hazarded parties of Cossacks as far as the villages in the environs of Constantinople. The Sultan saw with how much skill the Russian General had separated the cause of Mahmoud from that of the inhabitants, and had made it believed that Russia wished to re- establish ancient usages. He then began to fear that the Russian party would organize an extensive conspiracy even in the capital, where the proximity of the enemy had already caused a secret fermentation. Whilst the Mussulmans of Epirus, Bosnia, Albania, and Salonica, re- assume their warlike energy, and rise in a body to declare that tbey will not recognise the treaty of peace, the European Ambassadors loudly protest against this same treaty, and particularly against tile clause which relates to the navigation of the Black Sea. In this respect the claim set up by the Cabinets is well founded. The navigation of the Black Sea was previously granted by tbe Porte to all the maritime Powers except the United States; but the concession of the free passage of the Bosphorus would become elusive, by the clause " that the entry to the Black Sea should be interdicted to every Power at war with Russia." Thus England, against whom this clause is principally directed, lias peremptorily declared her opposition to it. No doubt Malimoud and his Divan had a cunning presentiment of all the difficulties which would arise, when they pretended humbly to deliver themselves up to the generosity of their conquerors. The war, then, is not terminated, and peace, therefore, is not concluded. Winter approaches, and indeed this year it has commenced early. The Black Sea will soon cease to be navigable, and six leagues of mire and marsh will extend over the two banks of the Danube. General Diebitsch, if his Lieutenant, Crassowski, is not • aster of Schumla, cannot keep possession of Adrianople ; and if, in short, the Turkish urmy of Sophia refuses to submit, and if England should manifest its anger otherwise than by diplomatic notes, a third campaign will become necessary. SINKING OF k HUT. K OFF CHATHAM- IMMENSE LOSS OF LIVES. We regret to say, that the Dolphin Convict Hulk, off Chatham, sunk at one o'clock this morning, and that is is feared not less than 200 lives have been lost. She lay near the shore in such a situation that when it was high tide she floated, and at low water was supported by rests on both sides. About one o'clock this morning, as the tide was half- way up, the rests on one side of the vessel gave way, and she fell oil her side and immediately filled with water. The numbers lost are not yet ascertained, though persons have been dispatched from the Home Office, to inquire into the causes and extent of this fatal accident. FURTHER PARTICULARS— A gentleman, who lias just arrived from Gravesend, informs us that there were on board 135 convicts, all of whom perished. It was rumoured at Gravesend that the catastrophe had been wilfully caused by some of the convicts, in attempting to escape ; but this is not positive. DANGEROUS ACCIDENT TO MR O'CONNELL. Dublin, Oct. 14. Mr O'Connell, his biother, Mr James O'Connell, and the servant of the former gentleman, left Killarney at two o'clock on Saturday, in a kind of caravan called a gingle, on their way to the town of Caherciveen, near Derrinane Abbey, the residence of Mr O'Connell. AVhen passing a very high mountain called Dring Hill, about twelve miles from Caherciveen, one of the horses fell and broke the pole in the fall; the other horse plunged and kicked in a most violent manner. The situation of the party in the car was now most alarming, as they were upon the brink of a precipice 400 feet deep, only protected by a wall less than three feet high, so that the overturning of the vehicle on that side, would have caused their inevitable destruction. The driver of the vehicle called to Mr O'Connell to leap out, when Mr James O'Connell opened the door, and in his attempt to get out, fell and broke his arm a little above the elbow. Mr O'Connell ulso jumped out at the same time, and falling on his back, received so violent a shock, that he remained in a state of insensibility for more than an hour after. The servant succeeded in escaping with only a slight injury in the back. The driver, who got down when the horse fell, immediately dispatched a messenger to Caherciveen for surgical aid; and Dr Barry, of that town, set off without delay— Oil arriving, he set the broken arm of Mr James O'Connell, who was conveyed to Hillgrove, the residence of Mr Primrose, about eleven miles distant, where he and Mr O'Connell at present remain. Dr Hickson, of Killarney, arrived at Hillgrove on Sunday, and remains in attendance on Mr James O'Connell, who was considered to be in a very dangerous state. The place where the accident occun- ed is a mountain pass, admired by travellers for the awful magnificence of the scenery which it commands. At the bottom of the immense precipice the waves of the Atlantic roll in upon the rocky beach; and if it were not for the fortunate circumstance of one of the horsss legs becoming entangled in the traces of the caravan, Mr O'Connell, his brother, and the servant, would have been hurled into the frightful abyss beneath, when they must have been inevitably destroyed. ST PF. TF. RSBURG, Sept. SO,— Yesterday, at noon, a salute of 101 guns, fired by the fortress of Peter and Paul, announced to the inhabitants of the capital the happy news of the conclusion of peace with the Ottoman Porte.

WIVDSOR, THURSDAY.— Yesterday afternoon, not, withstanding the dampness and coldness of the weather, his Majesty enjoyed liis usual recreation for nearly two hours, confining his drives chiefly within the boundary of the Great Park. It is said, and from good authority, that his Majesty lias declined his intended visit to Brighton this season, but that he intends taking up his residence at the Castle the latter end of the present month. His retiring so soon to the Castle will in a great measure depend on the weather. It is further said, that his Majesty intends taking up his residence at St James's Palace this season earlier than usual, and that he will be resident there at the meeting of Parliament. His Majesty enjoys excellent health, and continues to pursue the best means of preserving it, by retiring early to bed and rising early.

The periods for its liquidation is to be the subject for future discussion between the Sultan and the Emperor Nicholas. Although the good offices pf the other powers will of course continue to ba interposed, it will therefore be more as a matter of friendliness, than in consequence of a regular understanding. As to the amount of the indemnity, it is so evidently beyond the power of Turkey to pay, though it may not in reality exceed the expances incurred by Russia during the war, that there is strong reason to expect that tbe Emperor Nicholas, with a due regard to the consistency of his acts a id declarations, and an honourable anxiety to reconcile them together, upon being satisfied that the terms imposed upon the Sultan by his Plenipotentiaries are really too grievous, and, if enforced, would be equivalent to the destruction of Turkey, as an independent empire, will himself relax them, and render them more commensurate with the power of the Porte to satisfy them.— Courier.

DRURY LANE THEATRE.— Mr Lister, a gentleman who has already established a literary reputation by the production of some very clever novels, on Wednesday night appeared for the first time as a dramatic author, and with a degree of success certainly not inferior to that which he had previously obtained in a different walk. The tragedy of Epicharis, fo.' the first time represented, is founded on, and adheres with great fidelity to, the story ofPiso's conspiracy, as detailed by Tacitus in the 15th bco'; of his Annals. The principal deviations from the original are the conversion of Subrius Flavius into tbe betrothed husband of Epichai'is, and the assigning tn that conspirator a prominence in the action which throws the real leader, Piso, into the shade. To have suffered the high minded heroine to strangle herself with her girdle, or Piso to bleed himself to death, would have been too undramatic an end for either; poison has therefore been substituted with good effect. Miss Phillips appears to gain added powers with added years ; and in the scene with Proculus, especially, made a great impression. Young was the Flavins, in which he mixed the pathos of the lover with the patriotism and energy of the rough soldier very happily. His scene with the con pirators reminded us forcibly of his Pierre, when placed in a situation nearly similar. Wallack and Cooper, as Piso and Nero, fully embodied the conceptions of the author, who must have been highly gratified with the reception which his maiden muse lias experienced. The house was an excellent one. Chatsworth House, the magnificent residence of his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, was never known to be so full of illustrious visitors as it has been during the past week. Such is the princely style of his Grace's hospitality, that, on Monday last, he entertained not fewer than 250 individuals at dinner. His Grace, we may here observe, is a valuable patron of our manufactures, and to him, and the numerous distinguished personages who are from time to time his guests at Chatsworth, th's town is without doubt very considerably indebted for much of the celebrity which its staple productions have obtained in the higbest circles." The number of people of rank, either on their way to Chatsworth, or to and from Doncaster races, who have visited our show- rooms, has this year exceeded any former period.— Sheffield Courant. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 13.— On Thursday last, the Marquis of Clanricarde arrived in this town, accompanied by the Marchioness, the daughter of the late Mr Canning. The noble Marquis was present at the experiments of the railway on Friday, and sailed the same day for Dublin, in the steam- packet Manchester. An iron steam- boat of a peculiar construction, and having the paddles in the centre, has been built by Messrs Fawce't and Co., for the Irish Inland Steam Navigation Company, under the management. of C. W. Williams, Esq. This vessel was tried in the river yesterday, and the result was highly satisfactory. Another iron vessel of s; xty tons burden, will be launched to- day from Messrs William Laird and Son's yard, on the banks of Wallasey Pool. At the Fethard Petty Sessions, on Monday week, an investigation was entered into by the Magistrates, relative to an affray which took place between the police and the army, a few nights previously. It appeared from the evidence adduced, that some soldiers of the 75th, having come out of a publichouse rather inebriated, the people threw stones at them, and a regular fight with bayonets ensued. No great mischief, however, was done. The Court adjourned to the Tuesday following; but it was understood to be the opinion of the Magistrates, that the police were culpable in attacking the soldiers, and also culpable in disrespecting the officers; and that tbe report of the investigation be laid before the Lord Lieutenant for final decision. — Tipperary Free Press,'- ' , . ... ; T H E T R E A T Y B E T W E E N R U S S I A A ND TURKEY. ( From the Times.) The supplementary and separate at tides of that treaty, which has fixed the expectation and attention of Europe for some weeks past, as it may affect her repese directly or indirectly for a much longer period, throw a lurid colouring over the policy of the Government by which they were dictated.' We do not now attempt to raise, much less to pronounce upon, the question, whether the virtual transfer of Turkey in Europe to Russia be a sufficient cause of alarm for the rest of lCurope, to justify measures of combined hostility against that all- grasping Government; but this we assert without fear of contradiction, that by the articles of the treaty, original and supplemental, explaining and enforcing each other, Turkey in Europe no longer exists, hut as both in form and essence a province, or mass of provinces, under the immediate gripe and sway of Russia. A sum of more than L. 5,250,090 is, unless the whole world be deceived as to the financial means of the Turkish Government, far beyond the power of Turkey, whoever may be Sultan, to liquidate within ten years. That the amount has been raised, deliberately, to a level which the resources of the Sultan could never be supposed to reach, there seems, we apprehend, some reason for conjecturing, from certain other stipulations of tbe same treaty. I t was observed in this journal, that the only sovereignty left throughout Turkey, if Russian subjects were to enjoy in the full extent the immunities provided for them by the 7th article, would be that of the Russian Minister and Consuls. There may have been cases, as that of Romish priests during the times of Papal grandeur, and that of Spanish subjects resident at Rome, which an evening contemporary has alluded to, where a separate jurisdiction was created in the heart of countries calling themselves independent, for the withdrawal of certain parties from the ordinary tribunals of justice : but are such concessions of distant ages, granted by superstition to spiritual tyranny, or by special favour of an ecclesiastical superior to his confidential instrument anr". ally,— are they to be adduced as examples for the imitation of the 19th century, and for the tolerance of Europe, whose interests and quiet a similar sacrifice of the rights of sovereignty by a weak Power to a strong one would now tend conspicuously to embroil ? Such privileges, enjoyed by foreign sovereigns within territories which do not own their formal sway, have ever been regarded as badges of the worst kind of servitude; why else was it, that throughout the whole of civilized Europe, the claim of the Popish clergy to be tried by Papal tribunals distinct from those of the temporal governments under Which they professed lo live, was gradually, and is now absolutely, abolished ? No, this new fetter, imposed by Russia on the Porte, is in itself a usurpation of the sovereign power in Turkey. Would the Emperor Nicholas permit French, or British,— least of all, would he suffer Turkish subjects to enjoy within the Russian territory an entire exemption from the penalties of Russian law ? So, with respect to Russian Shipping, a merchant man under that flag may be loaded with merchandise contraband of peace or war, and within the Turkish waters she is to brave the authorities of Turkey, and outrage every principle of the law of nations with impunity 1 At the close of the 11th article are these words : " Until the complete evacuation of the territories occupied by the Russian troops, the administration and the order of things there established at the present time, under the influence of tbe Imperial Court of Russia, shall be maintained, and the Sublime Ottoman Porte shall not interfere with them in any manner." Here, then, is not only a military occupation, but a direct and complete administration of the civil government hy Russia. Her Commander- in- Chief, it is known, has put arms into the hands of all the most disaffected Turks; he has fostered the faction of the broken Janissaries, the irreconcileable enemies of Mahmoud ; he lias given that faction the administrative power throughout the whole country which his troops have overrun and conquered. Coupling, therefore, this system with the arrangements made for keeping military possession of the Turkish soil, is it too much to say, that the manifest policy has been to overthrow all those associations and institutions which led the inhabitants of Turkey in Europe to consider the Sultan as their lawful ruler, and lo instil the notion of Muscovite supremacy as the habit and principle of the national mind of Turkey ? We do most gravely, and in terms, disclaim every wish for the preservation of the Turkish Government in any part of Europe. Its religion is a fraud— its essence is ferocious tyranny— its sceptre is the axe— its people are barbarians. No Christian or civilized being can desire the continuance of such a monarchy, as a thing to be valued for itself Our only subject of regret or apprehension, or both, is that the downfal of such a brutal power should be qualified by the establishment of another species of monster in the place of it. We do not mean to use the word " monster" offensively in its application to Russia; we would signify merely an unnatural and highly formidable power. I t is said that there exists no danger of another universal monarchy ; and that we believe. It is said that there exists lio chance of the revival of any power which shall threaten seriously to disturb the equilibrium of Europe. Doubtless, that proposition likewise we believe, with the proviso that fit means are taken to arrest the growth of such a power. The chance does not, or did not exist, because there is, or was, a greater chance that such an event would be seasonably and effectually frustrated. If nothing in the shape of resistance to the overgrowth of an immoderate power be attempted, the maxim is a silly one which denies the possibility of such a power. Upon the whole, we consider the state of affairs consequent upon the signature of the treaty in question, as one which may be termed critical in the extreme. Wisdom and firmness are mighty defensive agents against calamities which threaten the general welfare; but they must animate the councils of more states than one, or those, who betray the common interest will, unfortunately, not suffer alone. ( From the Globe.) The acrimony, with which some of our contemporaries, who were most sanguine in their hopes and most vehement irt their admiration of the Turkish Sultan, vituperate this unfortunate Prince, is amusing. He was, we are told, " a Christian in politics, Mahometan in religion, murderer and reformer, barbarian in diplomacy, Martinet in tactics, in short, every thing out of place." That Mahnioud is not the prodigy, that he has been represented to be, by those who are now so sharp- sighted to his defects, we can conceive, but. we think, fortune has a little to do with the judgment now passed on him. " A great place," says Selden, " strangely qualifies;" a little luck is of great effect in raising the character of a Monarch. When the unhealthiiiess of the summer of 1828 and the earliness of the winter, iu Bulgaria, delayed the Russian operations, we heard nothing but admiration of the vigour of Mahmoud, who was beyond dispute the greatest Sovereign in Europe, and, if any accident in western politics had induced other slates to lake part in his quarrel, lie would have remained the greatest Sovereign to this present 15th of October. It is not fair, at present, to visit our own credulity and exaggerations on bis head. If1 " Christianity in politics" be out of place, let us oarry into them a little justice. He has had much to contend with. Turkey had been wearied by a long war in Greece, and in the warfare in that country the old system of Turkish discipline had been found corrupt aud altogether inefficient. ( The new system of Mahmoud, but for the interference of other Powers, would manifestly have succeeded there.) Was he to endure quietly the continuance of the barbarism of the Turkish army, without an effort to reform it ? Or, would his janissaries have been more successful against the Russians than they had been against tbe miserable Greeks ? We think not. The war would have taken a different form, but the issue must have been the same ; at least, the belief of all men who formed a judgment before Mahmoud's time justifies us in believing so. Let it be recollected that he was not the man who first revealed the weakness of the Turkish empire, but he was the man who contrived for a year or two to raise a doubt throughout Europe whether the previous belief in its weakness ivas well founded. His reforms did not altogether fail— his troops fought well, - so long as he had troops; but it is true that when his new defences were broken through, be felt perhaps the want of those which he had abandoned. He had not time to raise an army sufficiently numerous to resist, for two cam paigns, the powerful enemies who assailed him, and Turkey was conquered^— not more rapidly than Prussia in 1806, or than great and brave nations have been which have relied on standing armies— not so rapidly as other nations have been which have had no such armies to relv on. But the weakness of Turkey, we repeat, has not been produced by the reforms of yesterday, but by the barbarism of two hundred years. The mass of the Christian population in European - Turkey, strangers and enemies to the Government, constituted a source of weakness— at once the result and the punishment of pride and intolerance, which Mahmoud could hot dry up. If his fate affords any warning, it shews us that reforms, if delayed till the necessity is irresistible, come too late; and that those nations are wise who attempt to unite and conciliate their subjects before their enemies are at their gates. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY. I- ast wick, an extensive robbery was committe at the Cross Keys Inn, Gracechurch Street, when proprty to a considerable amount was taken away, belonginito Sir Charles Flint, Bart, of the Irish Office, Great Qu « i Street, St James's Park, Westminster. It appeared, tht Lady Flint, who is at present residing at Sandgate, n Kent, being about to return to her town residence, hA given directions lOr a quantity of property of various do scriptions, consisting of plate, books and wearing apparel to be sent immediately to town. T hirteen packages of property were accordingly made up and sent by the Folkstone van, which slops at the Cross Keys, directed to her Ladyship's residence in Queen Sireet. The property was acrordingly deposited in the warehouse. Shortly afterwards, a genteel- looking man came to the booking office, and, pulling out a paper from his pocket, which he glanced at, said to the book- keeper, " Those thirteen packages tor Lady Flint you need not send to Queen Street, as a cart will call for them this afternoon." The reply was, Very good," and the man departed. In the afternoon, another man came to the office, with an empty cart, saying, he had come for Lady Flint's 13 packages, and asked what there was to pay for the carriage. The bookkeeper replied, " £ 2, lis." which was instantly paid, and a receipt given for the money. The carman then drove his cart into the inn- yard, and received the packages into his cart, and drove away. After a day or two, an inquiry was made at the Cross Keys, by Lady Flint's servants, to know if such packages had not been received from Sandgate, when they were informed that they had been delivered up in the manner above described. Information was immediately given to the police, and I vimy, an officer belonging to Queen Square Police Office, has been employed for several days in endeavouring to trace the depredators, but hitherto without success. It has been ascertained that the cart which took the goods away was one of the City carts. The value of the property stolen has not yet been ascertained, as no estimate can be formed until the arrival of Sir Charles Flint, who is at present in Yorkshire, but it i3 said to be several hundred pounds. It is supposed that the robbery was planned by a person who got up on the road to ride to town, and who by someacci lent got a sight of the way- bill. It is the intention of Sir Charles to proceed against the proprietors for the recovery of the value of the property stolen. y U ( From the Standard.) Whether the fall of the Turkish empire be a loss or a gain to Europe, and more especially to England, is a problem of some difficulty. The alarm commonly raised, the danger to our Indian empire, we still regard, as we always have regarded it, as perfectly chimerical. It is the ascendancy of Russia in the Mediterranean, her preponderance there, and above the Austrian influence in tbe south of Europe, which ought toi excite alarm in England, as her undue aggrandisement may justly provoke the jealousy of afl the F. uropean powers. The general danger is, however, if properly understood, the common safety ; and we trust that the I'iuropean commonwealth will cooperate in devising and enforcing security for the preservation of a balance of power. Though certainly no friends of the present administration in this country, we cannot join in accusing the Duke of Wellington of having precipitated the fall of the Ottoman empire : that empire fell by the disease which threatens greater and more respectable nations, and not by any external errors. It fell by hypocrisy, and pedantry, and the love of claptrap praise. It fell because the Emperor was neither Mussulman nor Christian— because, while he affected surface reform, while he pushed his zeal for innovation to the extent of wholesale murder, he would not abate one iota of his prescriptive personal pretensions. Had Mahmoud been a true Mussulman, he would not have murdered eighty- thousand Janissaries solely on account of their obstinate adherence to - the institutions of Mahomet— had he been a Christian he would have taught' his people the duty o" humility and obedience— the first element of military discipline ,• he was indeed a fool who submitted to the drill serjeant's cane men whose faith was their own inherent invincibility, whose very religion was unteachable arrogance. Had lie been a mere barbarian, he would not have entangle. f himself in the liegociations that ruined him, bd being something of all. Christian in politics, Mahometan in religion, murderer and reformer, barbarian in diplomacy, Martinet in tactics, by being, in short, every thing out of place, he taught his people to despise and distrust him, and he and they have fallen in consequence, and whatever the English Cabinet had done, tliey must have fallen. ( From the Morning Chronicle.) The terms imposed on the Turks by their victorious opponents are sufficiently moderate. Less could not have been exacted from them than an indemnification for the expellee of the war, and the free navigation of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles to the merchant vessels of Russia, or Powers not at war with Turkey trading with Russia- The cessions in Asia, however important they may be to Russia with a view to the consolidation of her Caucasian possessions, are of comparatively trifling magnitude. The space which the Turks continue to occupy in Europe and Asia Minor, is not in one sense a matter of which our times are entitled to boast. It vyere certainly to be wished that the regions ill which the first important advances in civilization were made by our species could be once more the abodes of security, and its offspring, industry and enjoyment. But, in another sense, tbe moderation of the Russians is important as a striking homage paid by the power last admitted into the pale of civilization to the principles of international law, and as a proof of the influence of European opinion over governments. We, for our parts, hail in this moderation, this deference to the views of the rest of the European Governments, this anxiety to show that war has be'en undertaken not with a view to extend dominion, but to secure the developement of the industry of the dominions already possessed ( by far the most important of all conquests), as a marked improvement in the his. tory of our species, that strengthens the belief which, in all ages, men have been found to entertain, of an endless progression in social improvement. The Turkish empire lias fallen because viplence and oppression everywhere, supplied the place of justice— heoause the people were everywhere sacrificed to an ascendancy. The Turkish empire had been falling during the sway of the Janissaries, who were not destroyed on account of their obstinate adherence to the institutions of Mahomet ( for the ascendancy of the Janissaries is of comparatively recent origin), but because their existence was incompatiblewith a vigorous government and the prosperity of the people. That Mahmoud is a barbarian, may be true; but he would have been still more a barbarian, if he had been more averse to reform, and not more able to withstand the enemy to which be was opposed. It has been sometimes insinuated that his reforms filled his enemy with apprehension, and precipitated the war : but the insinuation is at all events a tribute to the character of the reforms, whatever the issue. Turkey has fallen, but tbe wonder is not that it has fallen, but that it has existed so long. This however is, we believe, the first time of its being gravely maintained that a resistance to Innovation would have averted the fate of Turkey. While the nations of Europe have been constantly advancing in social and political improvement, and the power of governments has been incalculably increased by the increased means placed at their disposal by all manner of inventions, the Turks have remained what they were centuries ago. Little more than 100 years have elapsed since the Turks still filled Europe with alarm ; and no small part of the fame of a great General, who died in the memory of men still living, Prince F. ugene, was derived from his discovering a mode of engaging thein successfully. But the smallest of the influential powers of Europe, Prussia, is now, from the changes to which we have alluded, far more powerful than the great Ottoman empire was before its late invasion. Tbe secret of European power is the free scope afforded to the development of all the faculties of man, which insure to him such a mastery over the material world. MYSTERIOUS AND MELANCHOLY A F F A I R . — A b o ut four o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday se'ennight, a lady and gentleman, with a female attendant, arrived at Blackwall in a carriage, and went on board the Soho, Edinburgh steamer, lying there, which was about to proceed on her passage at eleven o'clock that night. The lady appeared to be about 23 years of age, and was most elegantly dressed; she wore a large black veil, which she kept close over her face, and the gentleman wore a splendid cloak, and seemed to be about the same age as the lady. The gentleman desired that the greatest care and attention should be paid to the lady, that she should have a cabin for her own accommodation, and gave particular instructions to the stewardess to be in constant attendance upon her, as she was enceinte, and her accouchement was near at hand. The manner of th<! parties, and the profound privacy with which the gentleman gave these instructions, excited very considerable curiosity, and various rumours soon became prevalent. The gentleman remained with the lady some short time, and then went ashore, leaving her on board and her female servant. At about six o'clock the lady was taken alarmingly ill with the pains attendant to ladies in her situation. Messengers were immediately dispatched ashore for medical assistance, and Doctors Percival and Beale, of Blackwall, immediately went off to tht Soho, where they found their patient in a very ill state, and accouchement hourly expected. The medical men remained with her, and, although they conversed occasionally, still they could not learn what she was, or even her name, and the female attendant was dumb to all interrogatories as, to the rank of her mistress. However, from her elegant and accomplished manner there could be no doubt entertained but that she was of superior rank in life. She continued in the greatest agony till*"" twelve o'clock at night, when she gave birth to a fine boy. The unfortunate lady now became worse, and her medical attendants announced her to be in great danger. The consequence was that the passage of the Sohp did not take place, and a communication was secretly made, through an unknown channel, to the friends of the sufferer, who continued to get worse and worse every moment, of which she was perfectly aware, and expressed herself sensible of her dangerous situation, yet never for a moment hinted that she wished any of her family to be sent for- She remained in this state till five o'clock in the morning, when an alarming change took place, and it was considered necessary to catl in further assistance,' and Dr Baillie was immediately sent for, and that gentleman, with Drs Percival and Beale, held a consultation as to the state of their patient, and the result was, that all hopes were given up of her recovery, and at about six o'clock, the unfortunate lady expired. Just before her dissolution we were informed two ladies and a gentleman, muffled up, evidently for the purpose of avoiding recognition, arrived, and were very deeply affected. They removed the infant, and placed it under the care of a respectable woman, living at. No. 9, Cotton- street, Poplar, where it remained till the funeral, which took place on Wed- » nesday. The body wns placed in a handsome coffin, and the name engraved on the plats was " Alice Hope, aged 23 years." The body was removed in. a hearse and pair, followed by one mourning coach, in which were Dr Beale and another gentleman, to the new church at Poplar, where it was interred.— London Paper. The rain which fell during the night of Tuesday last, swelled the river Tees, to a height not exceeded within the memory of the oldest inhabitant of Barnard Castle. In tho street of Bridgegate it entered several of the houses, and swept away from some of the inhabitants, a great part of their furniture, clothes, & c. while asleep in bod, and left them in 11 situation truly deplorable. The new bridge building across the river, near Whorlton, was entirely swept away. The loss to the contractors will be very considerable. The rivers Swale, Wiske, and Codbeck, in tho North Riding of Yorkshire, overflowed their banks to an extent never remembered by the oldest people now living, and have done an immense damage to the adjoining country. In the river Tees, at Croft, and its neighbourhood, there has also been a very great flood. The St Nicholas, a Russian vessel, with a cargo of iron, tallow, hemp, & c., bound to Liverpool, was wrecked in a gale of wind in November, 1827, near Wick, in the north of Scotland, and every part of the ship and cargo that was not under water was soon swept entirely away. The bottom of. the ship's hull, however, upon which lay the iron, about 60 tons, was kept together by this dead weight, and both iron and what remained of the hull were speedily buried in the sand. At intervals, during the winter of 1827, and more particularly in the spring and summer of 1823, many attempts were made to recover some part of the iron, both by fishermen and other inhabitants of the coast; but all of them were unsuccessful, as by this time the iron was buried many feet deep in the sand, and over the sand there was never less than two or three feet of water at low tide. Thus matters remained until the summer of. 1829, when Mr James Bremner, ship- builder, of Wick, made proposals for an attempt upon a more extended scale, to get up the iron, and his offer was accepted. Mr Bremner built a floating platform, which he moored effectually over the wreck ; from this platform he let down what might be termed scrapers, which were moved and agitated by the strength of the tide, and which, by degrees, cleared away the great bulk of the sand from the top of the iron ; then by means of strong and heavy iron claws, which were let clown open, and which closed of themselves when they were drawn up again, the bars of iron . were grasped and fished up ; and the result is, that notwithstanding this coast is one of the wildest that surrounds our island, the ingenuity and perseverance displayed by the above- named gentleman was so great, the proprietors are indebted to him for the recovery of nearly every portion of their . ong- lost property, the greater part of which is now safely arrived in Liverpool.— Liverpool paper. MURDER OF LIEUTENANTS BEDINGFIELD AND BURLTON. ( From the Calcutta Government Gazette of April 28.) We are concerned to state that accounts have been received from Mr Scott, the agent to the Governor- General in Assam, communicating the melancholy intelligence that two British officers, who were residing for the benefit of their health at Nunclow, in the Cossy hills, have been cut ofl'by the hill people at that place. The particulars are not yet fully known, but it is understood that Lieut. Bedingfield, one of the sufferers, was murdered on the spot, and his head severed ftom his body. With respect to the other officer. Lieutenant Burlton, he is said to have taken refuge in the bungalow with four Sepoys, and to have defended himself until next morning, when he effected his escape, and retreated for eighteen or twenty miles, towards Gowahatty. A shower of rain coming on, the fire arms of the small party were rendered useless ; the men with Lieutenant Burlton then dispersed themselves in the jungle, but one of ihe Sepoys made good his way to Assam, whern he fell in with a detachment proceeding to Nunclow This man reports that he saw Lieutenant Burlton fall down, exhausted with fatigue, when he was surrounded and carried off hy the Cossyahs. We fear, therefore, that but slender hopes can be entertained of his ultimate fate. Mr Scott was at the time at Churra Poongee, considerably to the southward of Nunclow, in the Pundua range of hills, towards Sylhet, and had called for a party of the Sylhet Local Corps, with which he was to return to Nuncio*'. The principal members of the Nunclow Rajah's family had come in to Mr Scott, and expressed their abhorrence of the treacherous act alluded to, which, however, was perpetrated, it is said, in his own presence. It is but a short time ago that we published extracts from the journal of Mr Walters amongst the hill tribes," or Cossyahs, descriptive of the scenery of the Punduah mountains, and making such gratifying mention, of the manners and disposition of the people, as could scarcely have prepared us for accounts of such a violent and atrocious nature as has been our sad task to refer to. They are, it would appear, a wild uncivilized race, inhabiting that mountainous belt of country extending about fifty miles in breadth between Assam and Syl. het. From all accounts thev are not destitute of those rude virtues peculiar to hill tribes, and in the absence of more reasonable motives for tbe atrocious outrage just committed in their territories, it may, perhaps, be attributed to one of those blindly vindictive paroxysm;, founded on some mistaken principle to which wiyfjui savage people occasionally yield. In language and , apn tarancc, no less than in customs, they are said ipdifi'- r materially from the surrounding tribes. Thfy are unacquainted with the use of tire- arms, and em^ y bows and arrows. '' I t f UL r THE CONVICTS ORDERED FOR EXECUTION. Tlie following is a brief account of the offences of which the unhappy persons were convicted who are sentenced to suffer the extreme penalty of the law on Monday next:— Richard Chick was convicted of a burglary in the house of Mr Wilson, a mercer, in Sun Street, Bishopgate. The convict was indicted with Mary, his wife, and Charles William Elliott and his wife, but the three latter were acquitted. It appeared from the evidence, that about one o'clock on the morning of the 13th of July, the prosecutor was alarmed, and on going down stairs discovered that an aperture had been made in the wall between his and the adjoining house, through which some persons had entered, and stolen property to the amount of £ 400 In consequence of some information he received, he went to the house of Chick, in Church Street, Bethnal Green, four days after the robbery, where, on a search being made, a considerable part of the stolen property was found. The watchman swore that on the morning of the robbery, he saw Chick bring some large bundles from the house, through the partv- wall of which access had been obtained to the prosecutor's, and after placing them in a light cart, drove off. It was also proved that the adjoining house had been hired by a person, who absconded immediately after the burglary. The only evidence against Elliott and his wife was, that a small part of the stolen property was found in their apartment. The Recorder passed sentence of death upon Chick immediately after his conviction, at the same time telling him that his offence was of so aggravated a nature, that he could not hold out to him any hopes of mercy. He heard the sentence with the most perfect indifference. Josiah Nathan, alias Joseph Latham, alias Josiah Jones, aged 27.— This prisoner was convictedj of a burglary in the dwelling house of Mr Newton, at Mile- end Old Town. James Browne, alias King, was convicted of the same offence at the last July Sessions, and was executed on the 24th of August. It was in consequence of a confession made by him that Nathan was apprehended. He stated that Nathan and himself had been concerned in upwards of eighty burglaries and robberies, and, among others, mentioned the prosecutor's as one in which they had been jointly concerned. The evidence adduced on the trial of Nathan was, that the prosecutor's house was broken open about one o'clock in the morning of the 23d of April, and a considerable quantity of property stalon. Tbe thieves killed the yard dog previously to breaking into the house. They left behind them a hairy cap, which was identified as haying belonged to Nathan ; and a watchman swore that he saw him coming in a direction from the prosecutor's house on the morning of the robbery. He had but recently returned from transportation at the time he committed the robbery for which he is doomed to suffer. Richard Gifford pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with haying personated William Green, of Crucifix Lane, brazier, and thereby obtaining £ 125, being the Ntalue of stock standing in his name on the Bank books. On the 6th of March, the prisoner applied to Mr Linton, a stockbroker in Shorter's Court, requesting him to sell out the stock standing in the name of William Green. The broker declined selling the stock, on the ground that he did not know the prisoner; upon which he replied, Your father knows me well, and has frequently seen me at the National Debt Office." The broker's father was sent for, and on seeing the prisoner, said, that he recollfcted him somewhere, but could not tell where. The broker was satisfied with this partial recognition, and made out the necessary documents for the transfer. The receipt for the transfer was signed by . the prisoner in the name of Green, and on comparing it with one which had previously been given on the receipt of the dividend upon the same stock, the hand- writing was found to correspond. He also pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with having personated Richard Mann, and thereby obtaining £ 27, being the dividends due on £ 300 consolidated bank annuities, of which Mann was the proprietor. A few days after the fraud on Mr Green, the prisoner went to the Rotunda, in the Bank, and introducing himself to a broker as Mr Mann, requested him to witness his receipt of the dividend. The broker asked for a reference, antl the prisoner named Mi Linton, who happening to be close by, was instantly ap pealed to, and at once recognised the prisoner as being the person who had imposed upon him in tbe name of Green. The prisoner refused to withdraw his plea of guilty, although advised by the Judge to do so. The Countess of Monthofon brought an action in the Court of the First Instance at Paris, on the 8th of October, to recover part of her property which had been seized by a person of the name of Sanders. It appeared from the statement of the lady's counsel, that in consequence of misfortunes, into which Count Montholon fell, his wife found herself under the necessity of separating from him. She therefore demanded and received from her husband some property, amounting in the whole to 550,000 francs value, a sum which she brought him as a portion at her marriage. Among this property were 2500 books, which the defendant Sanders, a creditor of the Count, seized at the residence of Madame Montholon, as property belonging to her husband. The counsel for the defendant contended, that as the house where the books were seized was the domicile of M. de Montholon, as well as Madame de Montholon, the legal presumption was, that the property there belonged to the husband. The court annulled the seizure, and condemned the defendant Sanders to pay the costs. THE ARMY. i FCV WASTE L A N D — A d o c u m e n t has r e c e n t l y been published, showing the extent of the waste lands in t h e principal counties of England, Scotland, and I r e l a n d ; but not particularising such lands where they do not exceed 60,000 acres in a county, and not including unprofitable landed surface. The gross quantities in the English and Scotch counties enumerated, of waste lands, amounts to the enormous number of upwards of eight millions of acres; to which may be added two millions mote of counties not reported, and unprofitable and unemployed land; making a gross amount, in round figures, of ten mil lions of acre3 ; with four millions of acres for Ire land ; or fourteen millions of acres for the United Kingdom. Among the Scotch counties, Inverness contains 750,000 waste acres, mostly bounded on t h e east and on the west by the sea; with the Caledonian Canal running through the centre of the county ; and enjoying the advantages of numerous lakes for more local conveyance! Sutherland has 600,000 waste acres, with three fourths of its boundary on the ocean, and other similar advantages ; Aberdeen, 450,000 acres, and an extensive coast; Argyie, 600,000 acres, with more variety of coast than any other country ; Ayr, 292,000 acres, with no part of it that is 20 miles from its own coast; Banff, 330,000 acres, constituting a very great proportion of the whole county, and abutting on the sea ; Berwick, the site of transit for so large a portion of the intercourse with England, 130,000 acres; Dumfries, with the former advantages in common with Berwick, 320,000 acres; ltoss and P e r t h have more than a million of waste acres; and the other Scottish counties, similar proportions for their extent- That much1 of this land may be bad is undeniable ; but all sorts of land are vulnerable to cultivation in one shape or another, the rock has its dwarf timber, and the bog its peat, for fuel. Hafod, the seat of Colonel Jones, that was one of the most barren tracts in Wales, was coated with soil imported from Ireland ; and rendered a spot celebrated equal for its romantic beauty and f e r t i l i t y— Wherever you have surface, you can produce somet h i n g ; and the art of mining is yet but in its infancy. It was in reference to the latter that the Romans were originally tempted to invade this country ; and among their first enterprizes, they redeemed large tracts of land from the sea, on the eastern coast, because the silkting of the tides had formed a fine deposit as manure. Millions of acres are yet redeemable on the same principle ; yet have we so many thousands of able- bodied men, willing t o labour, literally starving for want of the commonest productions of land ! Yorkshire contains 600,000 waste acres; a district that likewise contains about one hundred thousand unemployed and half starved artizans and labourers. And in the small county of Rutland there are 1000 square acres of waste. Mayo, in Ireland, contains 565,570 acres of waste land ; with a beautiful variety of coast, antl abounding with lakes and rivers ; and Gal way has as many more, with similar advantages ; Donegal nearly half a million of acres ; and King's County not much short; the other counties average about 130,000 each; yet happy is the Irishman that can boast of a potatoe garden and a pig; as an ' indipindency !' while thousands of his countrymen are roaming over all parts of the world for a hearth and a home I— The News. The natural intelligence of the Goldfinch ( Fringilla Carduelis), were it not well authenticated, would scarcely merit belief; but as the fact is undoubted,' I think it deserves being put on record. The circumstances are as follows; but as no dates were kepi, the periods mentioned are only quoted from memory :— It was very early in the spring of 1827, that a bird had been lost fiom a cage, which was still hanging up, with the door open, in the passage entrance to the back court of a gentleman's house in this town, when a goldfinch was one morning found feeding in it, and the door was closed upon i t ; but, on inspection, as it appeared to be a female, it was very shortly after restored to liberty. In the space, however, of about two hours it returned, and entered the cage, when it was again shut in, and again liberated ; and these visits were repeated daily for a considerable time. She was then missing for some few days, but then returned, accompanied by a male bird ; she entered the cage, and fed as usual; but her companion, after perching on the outside of the cage, retired to a neighbouring tree until she joined him. They then quitted, and were no more thought of; but, at the end of about seven or eight weeks, she again made her appearance, and accompanied not by her former companion, but by four young ones, when she eg tin entered the cage, and fed as usual; but as she could not induce her brood ( for such they were presumed to be) to follow her example, she finally went off with them, and has not since that timeagain made her appearance. I have written tbe foregoing account precisely as it was elated to me by the gentleman at whose residence it occurred, and I have not the smallest doubt of the truth of jt in every particular— Louden's Mag. of Nat. Hist. No. 6. A General Court Martial has been assembled during the last week at Chatham, Major General Hastings, President, to investigate the conduct of Lieutenant Peter Macfarlane, 16th regiment, respecting a disputed account with his agents, Messrs Campbell and Co., and which has attracted very great attention amongst military men. The late Secretary of War, anil also the present one, have been summoned to attend. Sir H. Hardinge arrived on Thursday last to give his evidence, and returned to town again the same day ; but he will be required to return for examination on the defence— The circumstances connected with this Court Martial have been upwards of six months under investigation, but the proceedings under the Court Martial did not commence till last week. A General district Court Martial has also been assembled at Chatham, of which Major Lachlan, 17th regiment, is President. The Lords of the Admiralty have directed a General Court Martial to be held at the Royal Marine Barracks, on Monday, for the trial of a corporal for striking an officer. A Board of Officers, consisting of Major- General Egerton, Colonel Greenwell, Aide- Camp to his Majesty, and Lieutenant- Colonel Reeves, assisted by a Clerk from the War Office and Chelsea Board, have been assembled at Chatham, to investigate the correctness of the discharges and amount of pensions allowed to out- pensioners. We understand the frauds committed are to a very great extent. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Lord Colchester ( late the Hon.

The Sultan, however, had thrown himself upon the generosity of the llussian Emperor, to whom he had not appealed in vain, since he agreed to such a modification of the treaty as would render it " less onerous to the Turks, and less obnoxious to the other powers of Europe." This would certainly be a very singular concession. The very nature of the treaty hinges upon the indemnity. It is on this important condition that Russia depends for maintaining her controul over Turkey. Without the indemnity the treaty is nothing; and we cannot easily believe that Russia, will let go out of her firm grasp such a necessary instrument of her policy. Russia gains a reputation for moderation by the reasonable provisions of this treaty ; but her negotiators cunningly append to it a condition which in a manner nullifies t he whole transaction, and under a show of moderation secures all the substantial advantages of the most grasping ambition. It is scarcely possible for T u r - key ever to comply with the demands of Russia But in this case her empire, still occupied by Russian armies, is entirely at their mercy. I, cannot be doubted that this article for finding Turkey liable in expenses, has been invented for a special purpose, and it will be singular if Russia consents to mo. dify it to suit the viewsofthe other European powers; and either to part with such an enormous sum of money already nearly within her grasp, or to part with the influence which'the power of exacting it gives her in the councils of the Sullan. THEATRE.— Mr & rah » tn played, on Saturday evening, his old and favourite character of Henry Bertram, in Guy Mannering, to a house much better filled than that on the previous night. As we intend, in our next publication, to give our attention fully to his performance, by which time we shall be enabled to speak with more confidence and more justice of Miss Phillips, we shall not now remark upon it farther than to say, that we never heard eien Braham himself deliver the spiritstirring strains of " Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled" with more energy and power. Its effect on the listeners was electrical. We understand there is little likelihood of the German company coming here at present; but it gives us much pleasure to state, that Signor De Be- gnis has all but concluded his arrangements for taking the Caledonian Theatre during part of next winter.

' Royal Exchange, London, Friday night. We have still nothing but rumour on the subject of the supposed remonstrance by the British and French Governments against the terms of the treaty between Russia and Turkey. From what we understand, there is some reason for believing that the treaty has by no means given complete satisfaction to the Cabinet of London. Letters from Palis obtained this afternoon, mention that several reports were current in the French capital of the same nature, and this coincidence renders it the mote probable, that there is some truth in the opinion that Ministers object particularly to the articles which relate to the occupation of Turkey until the payment of certain portions of the indemnity have been completed. It i3 a fact that this morning, at a comparatively early hour, a messenger was sent off with dispatches for the British Ambassador in Paris. Accounts from Vienna to the latest date they could be obtained, mention, that the Austrian Government was apprehensive that the influence and power which would accrue to Russia in consequence of her recent victories would ultimately tend to destroy the balance in Europe, and that the interests of the countries adjoining the Russian territories would thereby be materially affected. The letters from Vienna are of the 8th inst., at which time no fresh political intelligence was in circulation. The Austrian metalliques had declined, but not materially, in consequence of the news from Turkey. The Bermuda papers to the 29th July mention, that a meeting was about to be held there, for tile purpose of adopting means to establish schools for the instruction and edification of the slaves of the island, upon the basis of the institution for affording religious instruction to the negro population of the West Indies. Such an institution, it was thought, would be productive of the most beneficial results. It was intended to erect schools in every parish, and not the least doubt was entertained but that the attempt would be suecessful, the Bishop having taken a lively interest in its adoption. The meeting was to be held in the Court House on the 8th August. A proclamation had been issued by the Governor proroguing the Colonial Parliament from the 23th July, until the 2d September, when it was expected to meet for the dispatch of business. Calcutta papers have also arrived te'- day to the 13th May. It would appear from a paragraph in tile Calcutta Jeihn Bull, that the Indian Government had shown a greater degree of leDiency to what was called the radical press of Inelia, and an inference was drawn from this circumstance, that the Government was less hostile than heretofore on the subject of its affairs being discussed. THE MONEY MARKET. It was ascertained to- day that the Stock taken yesterday by the party speculating for a rise, amounts to no less a sum than £ 3,000,000, two- thirds of which has been transferred into the names of three banking- houses in the city. The knowledge of this circumstance of course rendered the Consol Market extremely firm throughout the day, but more especially towards the termination of business, when the price for account, which had remained at 90J, alternately buyers and sellers for some hours, advanced to 90£, and for money, to 90, buyers. In the other stocks the demand was greater than the rupply, owing to the reinvestment of the dividend, amounting this quarter to about 6 millions sterling. The 3J per Cents have been done at 985, the 4 per Cents of 1826 at 101 j , and the new 4 per Cents at 10 Exchequer bills on the contrary remain steady at 71s. and 72s. premium. This was pay day on the account settled yesterday, but not a single defaulter was announced, the differences being so extiemely limited. Options either in favour of or opposed to a rise of stocks are rather cheap than otherwise, and are pretty freely dealt in extending throughout the whole of the November account. The business transacted in the English market increased speculation in the foreign securities late in the afternoon, but without occasioning any material advance. The last prices were : — Red Anns. 89J. Consols, 90. Do. for account, 901* 34 per Cents. 98f. 4 per Cents. 103J. Do. 1826, 104 § . Exchequer Bills, 72s. prem. India Bonds 63s. prem.

E D I N B U R G H E V E N I N G C O U R A N T. C £ i i n r b i t r g i > MONDAY, OCTOBER 19. To CORRESPONDENTS The communications we have received, relative to the Beer Duties, will be duly attended to. According to accounts in the French papers, several of the Turkish Pachas, dissatisfied with the late treaty of peace, had risen in insurrection against the Sultan, who is far from popular, as well as against the Russian army. The effect of such disorders cannot be very serious. If the Russian army was an over- match for the whole united strength of the Turkish empire, with tbe Sultan at its head, it is not likely that the scattered and ill- directed efforts of discontented individuals will have much effect. Indeed, the t r u t h of the intelligence may be doubted. The people of Turkey have displayed the greatest degree of apathy during the whole war; and it would not be very easy to explain why, after the fate of the country has been decided, they should rise up in any violent movement against the victorious army. Such a display of zeal would he altogether out of time, and must prove utterly vain. It is also mentioned that letters had been received from the Emp' ror Nicholas by the French G- overnnient, signifying his int. en On the 12th instant, at No. 27.

The merit of this painting is so generally known, that all who have visited it since the opening are unanimous in their warm expressions of satisfaction and pleasure, as the imagination can long linger with delight upon viewing such an interesting exhibition. The heavy gale on Tuesday night was attended with disastrous consequences to several of the fishermen of Nevvhaven. Thomas Aitken and crew returned from a trip to the Isle of May with a quantity of haddocks, cod, and other fish, and having moored their boat, came ashore, intending to bring their cargo to the pier in time for the Edinburgh market in the morning; but the gale suddenly became so violent that the boat broke from her moorings. and was wrecked. James Fleucker and his crew had a narrow escape. An extra crew set out tpeasaist him while attempting to gain the harbour, but ill spite of their utmost exertions, they were driven on the rocks, the boat was destroyed, and the men narrowly- escaped with their livgs, Two other boats have been rendered useless. The gale has raged with equal violence all along the coast. Near Dunbar the sea made several breaches in a strong wall of twelve feet high, and overflowed seventy acres newly sown with wheat. On receding, it carried off both. seed and soil, and has rendered the ground completely useless for this season. SHIPWRECK— On Wednesday last, the sloop Bank Note, of Whitby, Wm. Pearson, master, was driven on Spittal Sands, near Kudshead. She was bound from Sunderland to Brechin, with coals; shortly after leaving the former place on Sunday she was overtaken by the storm, and after being as far as the Bass Island on Tuesday evening, she was driven back to Berwick bay, where she lost her mast about nine o'clock on Wednesday morning, being then about ten miles off. She was observed from the shore, in the course of the forenoon, but the boisterous state of the sea prevented any boat going off to her assistance. About one o'clock she elrove on the beach, when two brave fellows got on board by means of a rope thrown over her, by which they lowered the persons on board, consisting of the captain, his wife, trt'O sons, and two men, into the arms of the people, who stood immersed in the water, whence they were conveyed to Spittal, where they received every attention that humanity could dictate and their situation required. The vessel broke up'in the course of the afternoon, the wreck antl utensils were savecf by the preventive men, assisted by several soldiers of the 71st regiment, who were dispatched to the spot when the vessel came on shore. She was the sole property of Mr Pearson, and we regret to add that not a farthing of her is insured. A subscription has been opened in aid of the sufferers.— Berwick paper. On Wednesday morning, the rivers that run through Carlisle rose to an alarming height. The temporary bridge lately erected across the Petteril at Harraby, about a mile and a half from Carlisle, was nearly washed away, and the carriages from the south were obliged to go round by Botcherby. The Caldew was so much swollen, that all the houses in Caldewgate were completely inundated, and the watchmen Were called off duty to render assistance in saving the lives and property of the inmates The Eden User did much damage, but we have not yet heard of its extent. We understand that, on the application of Colonel Lindsay, younger of Balcarres, M. P. Sir Coutts Trotter, Bart, has bestowed, from a charitable bequest at his disposal, the sum of L. 40, in aid of the fund subscribed for the relief of the widows and families of the Ferry boatmen who perished in the gale on the 3d day of August last.— Dundee Advertiser. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE— On T u e s d a y s e ' e n - night, while two men of the name of Cameron, father and son, were travelling homewards to their residence in Callander— their route lying through the Carse of Frew— and having, as il drew towards the dusk of the evening, passed the toll, they observed an object, that appeared like a pitcher, floating down the Forth. Having stept forward to the side of the water, they were distressed to observe, in addition to the object which had at first attracted their notice— a bov in imminent danger of being drowned. Impelled by feelings of humanity the most commendable, they immediately set about rescuing the little sufferer. One of the men proposed to plunge in at once; this was fortunately not assented to by the other, who proposed that, not being sevimmers, they should adopt the only plan that could prove successful. The father accordingly instantly waded into the water, followed by the son, who. held his hana firmly on getting into deep water. By this means the former was enabled to hold out a staff to the boy, at same time calling on him to lay hold of it, but, at the moment he expected him to do so, he sunk. Shocked at. the idea that their efforts might prove unavailing, Cameron was not a little relieved on seeing the body rise again, when he gave the little fellow smart stroke on the hand, to secure his torpid faculties being roused to the aid held out to him. In stantlv the drowning boy laid hold of the staff, which he continued to hold till he was pulled to land. At this time the mother appeared, who had hut a few minutes before sent him to the river to draw some water. The woman's mental sufferings on witnessing t h e peril of her son, were beyond description- Although she held him in her arms, she continued for some time, in a state of frenzy, calling on tiie mep to save her child, so difficult was i} at first to persuade her that he was safe. The poor K/\' TR KFNN IVNMA F A ILIA I « AI N/ AR D TRIAL OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGINES. The trial of these engines may now be considered as finished, and the very curious and interesting details will be found below. Whatever may be the result to the candidates, it is impossible to estimate too highly the atlvantages of this new and singular locomotive com- be expected, petition, and the great improvements to which it promises to lead in the construction of those machines. Already it appears, from the keen collision among the opposing competitors, the plan of a new engine has been elicited, on the merits of which, however unsuccessful in its first essay, there appears to be but one opinion among tbe numerous and highly intelligent engineers who have witnessed its performances, and which promises, when exeecuted in a more perfect manner, to exceed every other hitherto attempted in the lightness of its construction, freedom fiom all annoyances of smoke, noise, & c. and unexampled powers of speed. Here then is in itself one very important step in the improvement of' these engines, gained by the competition, and we may yet look for many others by similiar exhibitions. Nothing can exceed the interest which they have excited in the neiglibeurhood of Liverpool, as we learn from eye witnesses. Crowds of spectators have been continually flocking from all quarters to witness the successive trials— though the engines were going often with such inconceivable velocity, that the spokes of the wheels, as we are told, were perfectly invisible from the frightful rapidity of their revolution, yet it was quite impossible to keep the spectators off the railway, even in advance of the engine, where they collected in crowds to observe it coming up, and as it approachcd, they then merely stood osid- c, to make way for tbe machine, but yet remained so close to the railway, and in such a dense file on each side, that many were almost touched by the engine as it passed. The reason is, that by the rails or tracts, they could tell to an inch where tbe engine would pass, and this shows the superior safety of these engines, even over a common coach, where the drivers are really often much less under our command. 1 Spiders, are excellent barop^ ters; ; if; tlie, e n j k < lfr their webs are found branching out to any length.' it is a sure sign of favourable weather; if, on the! contrary, they are found short, and ( he spider docs, not attend to repairing it properly, bad weather may. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ABERDEEN, October 17 — In tbe niglitbetween Tuesday and Wednesday last, it blew a tremendous gale from" N. N. F.. to N. E. which, although it raised a heavy sea,' was not attended with any loss on this coast, the wipdi being free along the shore. On the Durham and Yorkshire coasts the effects, it is feared, must have been very, disastrous to the shipping, as accounts have already been received of a great deal of loss and damage at Sunderland. A fleet of 17 vessels, which brought up in the" Roads the day previous, are said to have been all driven,' ashore, when many of them, it was feared, would be total wrecks. At the height of the storm a great fresh of the river Wear came down, by which a number ofvessels in Sunderland broke adrift, and a good deal of damage was done in consequence. The Margarets, Baxter, got int^ the harbour through a tremendous sea, and with utmost peril. The sloop Ruby; James Henderson, Still; and Douglas, Jaffray, had arrived safely" previous to the gale. ' The Emperor Alexander, M'Kinnan, from Quebec to Newburgh, in Fife, was obliged to seek shelter front ARCHERY.— On Saturday the 17th inst. the St Andrew's Cross prize, given by Sir George Mackenzie, Bart, of Coul, to the ltoval Company of Archers, the King's Body Guard for Scotland, was shot for in Hope Park, antl gained by Henry George Watson, Esq. accountant, Treasurer to the Royal Company. bdy was carried home to his mother's house much exhausted. HONEY.— Accounts from all quarters agree stating, that owing to the constant wet weather, there has been very little, if any honey obtained this year. A horticulturist, in the vicinity of this city, who lias for a. series of years realized about ,£ 15 or £ 1 6 by his honey, will this season be obliged to expend two or three pounds in the purchase of winter provision for his bees. Honey is consequently rising rapidly in price. Last year the heath honey sold at about 5s., and flower ditto at 0s. the Scots pint, weighing 5! bs. Heath honey at present is selling at 12s. and flower ditto at 16s. the pint. ROYAL CALEDONIAN HUNT AND PERTH MEETING. FRIDAY, OCT. 16.

TUESDAY.— There was no contt st of any importance on Monday, but on Tuesday morning, at an early hour, the judges were on the ground, and MrAekworth's engine was pronounced to be ready for starting. It was weighed and the regular load assigned. The first printed cards having stated the weight of the " Sans Pareil" to be 4 tons 8 cwt. 2 qrs. the load assigned to it, according to the conditions, would be 13 tons 5 cwt. 2 qrs. making in al! 17 tops 13 cwt. for the total weight of the engine and load. Soon after ten the " Sans Pareil" started to do her assigned performance of 70 miles; and for two hours this engine performed with great speed and regularity, averaging full 14 miles an hour, for adistance of upwards of 25 miles, while dragging that enormous load. Unfortunately, one of the pumps which supply the boiler from the tender was out of order, antl, in consequence, some accident occurred, which it was necessary to stop to remedy. This is no proof of tailure, because it has nothing to do with the principle; and we are assured that when the " Sans Pareil" has got into good working order, she will rank high in the list of competitors, and may well be considered as having fulfilled the original conditions. Beyond the above, we believe little of'importance took place, with the exception of the exercising of Mi Stephenson's carriage, which, without carrying weight, performed several journeys, at a speed exceeding its former performances, to the great delight and surprise of the numerous spectators who were, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, assembled on the ground. WEDNESDAY.— We may consider the trial of the locomotive engines virtually at an end. In consequence of the number of petty accidents which had occurred to the London engine, the Novelty, the ingenious inventors, Messrs Braithwaite and Ericsson, ( rather unadvisedly, as we consider,) took their engine to pieces after the performance of Saturday, anel they only had the joints of the boiler pipe dosed this morning. Every engineer knows the effect of a high pressure upon a green joint, but as the Novelty had been entered for this day's contest, the proprietors determined upon starting. Accordingly, at one o'clock the engine set off, and performed about seven miles in a manner highly satisfactory, going at one time at the rate of 24 miles an hour, with iis accustomed load, when the green joint of the boiler pipe gave way, as might have been naturally expected, and the engine was obliged to stop. It is much to be re. gretted that the Novelty was not built in time to have the same opportunity of exercising that Mr Stephenson's engine had, or that there is not in London, or its vicinity, any railway where experiments with it could have been tried. It will evidently require several weeks to perfect the working ot the machine and the proper fitting of the joints, and, under this impression, Messrs Braith waite antl Ericsson have acted wisely in withdrawing, as they have done, from the contest. In the early part of the day Mr Stephenson's engine ascended the Rainhill inclined plane several times with heavy loads of passengers, and did this at a rate of twelve miles an hour ; now considering that the rate of ascent is 1 in 96, or upwards of a third of an inch in a yard, we consider the erection of fixed engines on that and the other inclined plane at Jutton, as quite out of the question, and that before very long we may hear ofrailwajs by the sides of our turnpike roads. Mr Burstall exercised his engine, but we believ-' wc are correct in stating this gentleman is conscious that his engine is not sufficiently powerful to compete with the other three. He will, however, continue to try its powers. It is now understood that Mr Ackworth's engine is over- weight for the original conditions. We have, however, heard that Mr Ackworth disputes this point, and will try it again. Mr Brandieth will also exhibit again, but as he can have, under the present circumstances, no chance ot" succeeding against. what has been done, it is probable his appearance will not be as a competitor. On Saturday last the Directors of the Railway dined, by special invitation, at the Waterloo, with the numerous and distinguished company of engineers and scientific men. who have assembled at Liverpool from all parts of tbe kingdom, to witness tbe interesting experiments which have been tried during the past week on the railway. Among the men of science present were Mr Rastrick, who acted as chairman, Mr Braithwaite, Mr Ericsson, Mr Jardine, Mr Vignoles, Mr Burstall, Messrs G. and R. Stephenson, Dr Traill, & c. Among the toasts drunk were " the Liverpool and Manchester Railway," *' the Chairman, Directors, and Officers of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Co.," " the Members for the Town," " t h e Candidates for the Locomotive Prize," '• the town and trade of Liverpool," " the health of G. Stephenson, Esq. the engineer of the Railway." The Chairman gave " Count Platten, and the engineers of Sweden." Mr Ericsson regretted his want of a sufficient knowledge of the English language to return thanks, as he could wish, on behalf of his countrymen. The Swedes look upon Count Platten as one of the greatest men in Sweden. There is now constructing under his auspices a canal of 300 miles in extent, which will connect Sweden with the Baltic. He concluded with proposing " Colonel Colby and the trigonometrical survey ot' the united kingdoms." Various other toasts of a similar character followed, and the company was addressed by Several of the engineers and directors, anel the evening was spent in the most agreeable and cordial manner. I. AUNCH OF IRON VESSELS— On T u e s d a y , a somewhat novel sight was witnessed in Wallasey Pool. An iron vessel had been oonstructed by Messrs Laird and Co. at their extensive steam- boiler establishment, on the southern side of the Pool, and betwixt eleven and twelve o'clock in the forenoon all was ready for launching. She started down the ways about ten yards, when she was checked ill her descent by the shrinking of the cradle within a few yards of the water's edge, where she stuck for a short time, until she received assistance from a steam- boat, which had brought a number of gentlemen from Liverpool to witness the ceremony. Thus aided by a line from the steamer, she descended into the water amidst the acclamations of t h e workmen and bystanders. Some anxiet y had been manifested to ascertain the quantum of water she would draw upon being committed to the watery element. This was soon made apparent by. the register on her bottom only drawing 14 inches, being a less draught than that of a vessel of equal tonnage, built of timber. She is of a beautiful mould, and looked exceedingly well and buoyant upon the water. She measures sixty feet long, 13 feet beam, 74 feet deep, measures 54 tons, carpenter's measurement, and will carry about 90 tons dead weight. Previously to being launched, she had received a coating of a chemical cement, inside and out, to prevent the oxygenization of the iron. She is intended for t h e inland Irish Steam Navigation Company, recently established by and under the management of C. W. Williams, Esq., and will, we understand, cost considerably less than a flat of equal size built of timber, and, in many respects, is likely to possess advantages over flats built in the ordinary manner. This is the first vessel constructed in Cheshire of this material, but it will doubtless be followed by others of a superior class, when their advantages shall be more duly appieciated- An iron steam- boat of a peculiar construction, having the paddles in the centre, built by Messrs P'awcett and Co., foi the same Company as the above, was tried in the river on Monday, and we are glad to say the result was highly satisfactory. — Liverpool Met cury. this storm in the Frith of Forth, running up to Burntisland Roads. By this vessel, accounts have been received of the arrival at Quebec on the 13th ult. of the Venus, Nicol, and Margaret, Anderson, both of Aberdeen. The Glentanner, Walker, encountered the gale off- Kinnaird Head, where she met with a heavy sea, which, ran very high and broke on board, by which she lost part of her bulwarks, & c.; a large Swedish ship was in company the preceding day. Passed this place next day to the southward, anil came into the bay yesterday,' when, being supplied with some articles from the shore,' she proceeded with a favourable wind on her destined' voyage from Memel to Belfast. The Glentanncr had a passage of 13 days from the Sound, and was, as well as the Phesdo, afterwards put into Norway, from whence the former sailed on the 8th, and on Sunday last passed, in the North Sea, close to the Corsican, Smith, of this place, running before a strong gale, with the top- gallant' sails set over his single reefed top- sails, long. 4.

Having selected the most suitable for their purpose, they slice them, by sawing them with soft and thin iion wire fixed in a bow, leaving at the end a coil to renew the wire as it is worn awav by the friction. The workman having seated himself on the ground, drives into it a piece of bamboo about a foot long; in this he makes a slit vertically, t o fix the pebble upon which he is to work. He then places an earthen cup of water, and another of coarsely powdered corundum ( sometimes only sand) 011 his left; and having; taken the l) ow in bis right hand, and wetted the fore- finger and thumb of his left hand, lie applies the powdered corundum every new aud then to the wire, as he saws the stone; and by a little practice, the stone is cut very evenly through. Although this plan, owing to the expense of manual labour, might not answer for mechanics generally, in England, yet children of both sexes might be employed very beneficially in sawing the stones, by thc foregoing very cheap and simple process, preparatory to their being polished. The labour is nothing, the means available, and thc method easily taught.— Mechanic s Magazine. MIGRATORY BIRDS.— At this season of the year the departure and arrival of migratory bisds attract the notice of the attentive observer of ihe operations of nature. During thc summer months, the copses and hedgerows, the pastures and the woods, teem with the varieties of the feathered creation, nnd offer to the ornithologist delightful subject matter for instruction,' reflection, or scientific research. Nor has thc eye of genius disdained to glance upon BO delightful a science— a science slow, indeed, in its growth, founding itself on the results of continued observation, and perfectly itself, if to perfection it can never arrive, in the progress of years. The eye of genius disdains not to glance at and ennoble, l » y its scientific classification, the observations of Jess gifted individuals of various times and in various places ; and hence the usefulness of notices, in & provincial journal, trilling perhaps in themselves, of local occurrences, and appearances iu natural history which contribute to that aggregate mass of facts to be afterwards systematise'! for the instruction and delight of mankind. Although the habits, instincts, and enjoyments of migratory birds are, duriug their summer or winter visits, pretty accurately known, of that stirring, mysterious, and powerful impulse' which guides their arrival at or departure from oiir shores, little positive information has transpired. . Thercver their destination, in what manner and by what signs they are guided in their migrations, their flight across our island generally takes place during the stillness and safety of night. The fact has been observed repeatedly; anil, as serving, to mark the season of flight, it may be noticed that on Friday last, at half- past ten o'clock ut ( light, an immense body of migratory b'rds, presumed to be swallows, the rushing action of whose flight was remarked by an intelligent inhabitant, passed over this town in an easterly direction, Indeed, this and thc other delightful tribes of summer visitants have now departed, with the solitary exception of the latest brood of the chimney swallow, which still lingers in melancholy flittings around detached dwellings. Of the migratory birds which ( October 7) have urrived in this neighbourhood to share the winter enjoyments which our island affords, we may enumerate tl| e following : — The Redwing, Woodcock, Fieldfare, Mountain Finch, Short- cared Owl, Merlin Hawk, Siskin ( Fringilla Spinus), Grey Wagtail, and the Ashcoloured Shrike.— Duncaslcr Gazette.

A fraud has lately been discovered, the circumstances of which are of a very extraordinary nature The butler of a nobleman, during the abscnce of his master, in Ireland, being left in care of the town residence, availed himself of the circumstance to assume the character of a man of fashion, attended various public places, and had the address to impose upon several persons, as being the person whose appearance he assumed. He was, however, observed by a friend, of his master's in this new character, and suspicions being entertained of the means he employed to support it, he was apprehended, and remains in confinement till the arrival of his Lordship from Ireland. A mechanician, brother to the celebrated Moelzel, of Vienna, has constructed at Boston a set of musical automata, no less than forty- two in number, which compose a complete orchestra, and execute several of the most difficult pieces of music, in the most perfect manner,— among others, the overtures to Don Juan, Giovanni, Iphigenia, and La Vest ale. Those which excite the most admiration and wonder are tbe violin- players, which execute their portion of the music precisely as if they were ' living performers, viz., by the motion of the fingers, Sic. A company of Americans have offered the artist 300,000 dollars for this extraordinary and ufirivailed piece of mechanism; but the price demanded 500,000 dollars, and it seems probable that it will be obtained. M R LAWRENCE'S L E C T U R E S — T h i s g e n t l e m an who has succeeded Mr Aherneth v as principal lect u r e r at Si Bartholomew's Hospital, has given his introductory lecture, which will edifv every practitioner. The following are his concluding remarks:— " Vou will understand, gentlemen, front the obseraftei preparing himself, and shutting his eves, he was at last able to allow the operation to proceed.

( From Captain Andrew's Journey ) New Guinea, otherwise called Papua, extends, according t - the present imperfect, line on the charts, from the Pacific equator to about the 12th degree of south latitude. and has a longitudinal range of near 20 degrees; that is, ' roin 130 to 150 east. Thc information hitherto derived has been from the mere casual touching on the coast of vessels for reireshments, . whose, crews, intimidated by the ferocious appearance of the natives, returned 10 their boats almost as soon as they had effected a landing- In tbe instance to which I have alluded, we anchored under an island adjacent to the maia land. The island was covered with deep foliage down to tbe beach, along which, as we pulled to a more open situation for the boat, the natives screened by the wood announced our approach with savage yells betokening no very friendly reception; but we fouud on gaining the shore that these were characteristic shoutings for joy. Three British huzzas would peihaps have been equally extraordinary and alarming to a people in u perfect state of nut i i t j , men and women. The natives debouched from the woods In great numbers, and surrounding the boat, would have dragged her up, crew and all, as they do their canoes on the beach ; upon which our people thought it necessary to assume a defensive attitude, which they soon understood,' falling back, at our suggestion, to a line marked with a cutlass in the sand, as a neutral or parley ground, and seemingly in implicit obedience to their superior moulded but frightful looking chief. To our insignia of peace, a white flag, he waved a green branch ; on our returning our n. usketf, & c. to the boat, tbey laid aside their weapons, and in half an hour they . were as intimate with us as though we had been brothers. A sharp jook- out was, ot course, kept to see if they resumed fheii arms, but we were shortly satisfied of their fiiend. ly intentions towards us. Our interchanges of civilities and barter were arranged in due form, through tbe medium of their chiets ; indeed, our hoats were soon crammed with poultry, plaintains, and various sorts of fruit. Of. the animal species we only noticed the dog. They seemed at first to object to pur cutting down some of their trees for tuel, of which we were 111 great want, but they soon became reconciled dpon our presenting them wnh a cocked hat, a few bottles, knives, and lieads, and somo patches of red cloth ; in particular, jiicce- s of the Times newspaper were in request, thecharacters of which stiuck them as something very ex— i n o r d i n a r y , unit they actually gave us a boat- luad of. sugar canes for the printed heading part of a number. We moreover presented tliem uith a goat in kid, and plant- il a patch of ground with potatoes. Al. though we could not persuade them, to come over the gangway of the vessel, no dpubt from apprehension of treachery, ihi y let us knuw they were not prone to it themselves. Two of our seamen' had wandered from the boat, and remained a day and a night in the island ( tlicy returned to us, after being hospitably treated by the natives, both men and women. We were not so much surprised at the shyness of these penpte, when wc found afterwards that one of them pad been shot by a ball from a musket. The wounded person was a man about fifty years of age, and fiom ( lis gestures we could make out that some ship hai i ng j'orunrly anchored there, the c i ew had got into an affray with thc natives, and were authors ot the accident: it is mere than probable tbat tlie sailors took their shoutings and demeanour as aggressive. ' 1 hey were very anxious we should remain, to aid them against hostile atv. ck, as wc imagined, from their neighbours, tbe New Biitain Islanders, they pointing in that direction. Their w. ar implements were bows, arrows, and slings, with which kilter tliey very dexterously brought down Jrftjib ; they had also shields for defence. An officer of the 73, i regiment with us shot a gull with a rifle, which { eVrified them exceedingly, and'their observations on this induced their, no doubt, to solicit our assistance. Their f l i n g atones, properly ruunded, they carried in hempen nets, curiously worked. Their fishing lines were a l s j ill hemp; very ingeniously twisted. We observed that they possessed the Pan- pipes for music. Their canoes were welt constructed, but neither so large llor so handsomely carved as those which visited us from the main Duel. Their pbdjrtain and ^ ugar- cane patches were arranged Tj* it. ii uniformity, and in a good sta'C of culture. The prime minister, lis we supposed I1O111 the deference paid bim, intimated the desire 01 the king to see us, wiio by bis gestures we judged lay sick in a distant part of ( lie Island. 1' tip boats from the main land of New Guinea gave us in exchange tor such articles a; suited thoiT lan'ey, before mentioned, a great variety of , shells, many of a. de- - . l i p t i on entirely unique; also armlets, rut out of ( as we conceived from the size) the solid part of elephants' teeth, hovtls, airows, & c. Specimens of wild nutmegs and other spices were also received in exchange. I remarked that tl| e New Guinea tennes generally contained nineteen persons ; they had always an odd individual, whom we conjectured to be a priest, whose instep was marked or seared as with a hot iron. ' ' " The advantages of a settlement, on the west end of this island cannot fail qf being obvious to the most pommon observer; I mean if only commercially considered: its climate would afford us, in high perfection, the articles id the Dutch spice islands, and in the course of time tyove u Valuable net- oif for the loss of tbe inestimable f j v a ; it may even possess indigenous products unknown Kt) d ' peculiar to Stt » cM'; in flue, it may lead to sources nf tl'. itje and traffic, with China, India, anil | i pstcri! Archipelago, of mralculiitjjc value.' slight shudder succeeded. Mr M'Cullough and Mr Miller remained with him during the night. He tried to take some milk, but when it was placed before him, lie felt a slight shock 011 touching it- He was at length able to take two or three sips; when suddenly raising himself up in bed; and speaking very rapidly, he said he was eboking, and cried out for a door to be opened ; but no sooner was this done than he exclaimed, " Oh! shut— shut— shul— the air, the cold air— I cannot bear it I" He shortly afterwards took some morphine dropped on sugar. In a few minutes more be called for one of his friends, and requested liim to hold his head that he might try to sleep. Mr Miller complied.; but in about three minutes afterwards lie was seized with a spasm, accompanied bv horrid and terrific distortion of countenance. Mr Miller rushed from the bed in an agony of horror, anil had only strength sufficient to tell Mr M'Gullough to lake his place. Instantly Mr Hervey jumped uji in bed, crying to his horror- struck and almost paralysed 6lends, " I see you boy si— I see you boys I" and then, as it were mastering his excruciating agony by a powerful effort, he continued in a calm but scarcely less terrific tone; " I t is, all over— call the house— send for a doctor." His friends gazed in speechless horror for a few seconds; and the silence was at last broken by the unfortunate sufferer, who, observing that they were making a movement as if to leave the room, called out, " Miller, Miller, do not leave me— be a. man ; ' tis over, and I am again quite collected ; do not be frightened— depend 011 it I will not barm you." " No, my dear Hervey," replied tbe other, " I will not leave you, 1 have promised to stay with you to the last, and, cost what it may, I will keep my word." His friends, being now somewhat recovered from their fright, asked, where the men slept ? l i e immediately answered, " Above stairs," and desired Mr Miller to call them. When that gentleman left the room, Mr Hervey said to Mr M'Cullough, that he would come out of the bed. i his Mr M- Culloiigh protested against, and the other immediately replied, " You are right, but fbr God's sake do not leave me. 1 am perfectly ill my senses, lnu, oh I that dreadful toiment is beyond the power of man lo bear. If you leave me, I cannot prevent myself flora jumping out of the window." His friend assured him, he would not leave bim, and requested him to lie down. He replied, with much vehemence, " Oh I do not ask me, do not ask I" but immediately adding, " Sure you are not afraid of pie?.' Indeed you need not be afraid." And, bis friend protesting that he was not, he held out his hand, with an affectionate look, " Shake hands with me," said he, and then, grasping Mr M'Cullough's hands, he blessed him. In a moment he became perfectly calm, his voice resuming its usual tone anil his countenance its wonted serenity. By this time Mr Miller had returned from sending lor the doctor and awakening the inmates of the house. Calmly and collectedly the sufferer then addresssed bis friend, " I did not expect this,'" said he, " so soon. 1 thought,.! should have had a little more warding. I knew it was to come, but I did not expect it till to- morrow." His aunt and a vourig lady, also a relation, came into the room. He shook them loth Affectionately by the hand and said, " 1 would be glad to kiss you, but dare not, for fear of consequences." During one of the intervals, hearing his watch tick on the table, he said, " Is riot that my watch,?" Being, told it was, he called one of his friends forward, to whom he expressed himself under many obligations. ' Herp, my dear friend,' said lie, ' lake Ibis waleh and wear it as a memento of your friend, poor John H e r v e y ; and when you have occasion to look bow the time passes, sometimes think of me, and the circumstances under which I gave you this memorial of mv friendship.' He made several beautiful prayers, and then asked Mr lteid, a young clergyman, who was present, and of whom he ex- ' pressed a very high opinion, to pray with him. The fits now became more frequent, and he requested Mr M'Cul. oiigh and Mr'. Miller to hold his hands- Every attack continued longer, and appeared more severe. At about half. past oue o'clock, he said he felt a curious sensation— it was in Ids limbs, as if be were pricked with the finest needles — a prickling, as if the finest silver- barbed arrows were darting through every portion of bis body ; he said it was altogether a most delightful sensation. His nerves became most . sensitive. The least noise in the room— a change in the light of the candle— the moving of a shadow 011 tlie wall— a relaxation or compression of the hands of . those thai held him, gave liim the most excruciating pain; arid he would exclaim, with a heart- rending voice, that it was cruel so to use him. Shortly after this, the saliva began to make a noise in Ills t h r o a t ; he lost his voice; but lie showed, by significant gestures, that he was perfectly aware of all that was passing around him. As the fits came on hini, he appeared to place himself In' tliaf position as if he wished to rest 011 his head and heels, while his body moved quickly up and down, accompanying such motion with an agonizing groan. These, fits at length ceased, and he l a y from ten lo fifteen minutes so still that all except those in tlie bed- room with bim supposed lie was either dead or dying. Suddenly, with a voice loud arid strong, as. if in perfect health, he exclaimed, " Here, boy's, do your duty." The awful moment which lie hail dreaded, and vainly hoped to escape, bad come, l ie became dreadfully convulsed; every muscle was distended to the utmost stretch ; while the spasms, • commencing at his, stomach, seemed to roll up like a large mass tu his throat, where the breath rattled hideously, as if vainly seeking a vent. Mr M'Cullough and Mr Miller seized his wrists, while tlie lleverend Mi' Iteid laid himself down across him. He struggled dreadfully, and " appeared tq wish to' get himself out of bed- l i e screamed with the most appalling agony, and called for Dr O'Neill to cut bis jugular yein. He besottg! t his friends about him to put an end to his horrible torments, if they had the smallest spapk of pity remaining in them. Some of hia labourers came in and assisted in holding him down. So intolerable was the dreadful agony of the sufferer, that he threatened to bite those who heljl bim, if Uiev did nut kill him or let him up, Rearing that tha courage - of the men might fail, Mr Miller called 011 them tq reriiain firm, if they valued their existence, He continued beseeching those about him alternately to put an end to his pain- He I ben . ceased shouting, bijtt three or four times lie was heard lo sav, in an under dressing to you, that, in selecting t h e medical protqnef " Severe, terrible j " iii a mariner that showed he was perfectly sensible, though the agony in the height of flip jparojtvsm was too gr{! it'lbr uyen man V W > | e in his senses to bear- II is-. voice hegap. tp change jf i he C( v,; tii npthing, b'til fession, you have set yourselves no veT_ v easy task. The study of medicine is, indeed, an arduous undertaking. Tbe most comprehensive mind, and the greatest industry, might find occupation for mainyears in acquiring tbe whole circle of medical knowledge; you will have reason to lament that you cannot employ a longer time in the preliminary studies which are necessary as a qualification fbr practice, and the active duties of vour profession ; anil you will therefore see the necessity of improving, with tbe greatest diligence, the opportunities of information which you now possess, and which you will never be able to recall. I. et me observe, at the same time, that among all the various objects t h a t can engage tbe human mind, there is 110 better exercise of the intellectual faculties, no more attractive and interesting pursuit, than the study of the medical profession, while its practice has the most salutary moral tendency ef repressing selfishness, calling forth ntid strengthening all the benevolent and social tejlirgs. Our studies embrace all the most interest- tog parts of natural knowledge. Our first and immediate object is to learn the construction of our " own frame, the means by which we live, and move, and have our being; we see the nature and operation of those influences by which health is interrupted and restored, by which disease and suffering may be averted. Chemistry, natural philosophy, and natural history, auxiliary sciences, are more or less immediately connected with the primary objects of our pursuits. Thus we are led to the contemplation and ptudy of nature, and the investigation of t r u t h . We are not called upon to defend any doctrines or systems, or to uphold any set of opinions. We have no interest at variance with those of the community. In professional intercourse with our fellow:, creatures, we are known only as instruments of good ; in restoring or securing health, the greatest of blessings, in removing pain and sickness, the greatest of evils ; in soothing the anguish and quieting tbe alarm which friends and . relations feel for each o t h e r ; ill protracting the ' approach of that ' awful moment, from which we all shrink back with instinctive dread; tbe termination of existence. Tbe happiness or misery of life, and the very question of life or death, often bang on our decisions. I trust that, bearing in mind tbe serious nature of those duties, you w ill be anxious to employ the » b « rt period of your duties to the greatest advantage, and allow no opportunity of gaining knowledge to pass unimproved ; you will thus become respected members ol ail honourable profession, and prepare for yourselves, in the decline of life, the sweetest of afl rewards,— the retrospect of labours devoted to the good of others." BELGIC AND PRUSSIAN MANUFACTURES— The encouragement of manufactures, to any extent, and of every kiud, is at present t h e favourite object of attention of most of the great potentates of Europe. They consider only the establishment of such in their own respective territories, bv exacting heavy duties on ihe importation of foreign manufactures. Bonaparte gave the impulse, and tbe Sovereigns have not forgotten his lessons. All his bad institutions have been retained by them ; such as heavy taxes, prohibitory duties 011 British manufactuies, an espionage. police, conscript militia, and the wading through an entire establishment of a bureau, from tbe lowest clerk to the Minister of the Interior, lor the smallest application of money to repair a road, a bridge, or a church. The King of the Netherlands is wisely getting lid of these absurdities; but manufactures are bis favourite hobhv. He is at present partner in several fabrics, and the good- humoured Belgians persist in calling the firms of some of them " Messrs Cockerel!, King, and Co." The histoiy of Mr Coekerell is that which is connected with the sudden extension of the manufactures of ten ancient Austrian pro virices, and those of the'county of Die ge, as also of the manufactures of Aix- la- Chapelle and Elberfelt near Hie liliine, both now comprehended in tbe Prussian territory. I. iege was celebrated for its iron manufactures, nearly 200 years ago ; and the cloths of Verviers werelamousin tlie 14th century Aix- la- Chapelle has nianu'actiired cloth above 500 years.. It was probably tbe warm sulphureous wateis of tbat town which first attracted tbe notice of ilutliiers. The rough wool is still washed in the public street, bv means of the warm springs, to a dazzling white colour. So steady and persevering me the fabrics of this town, that the respectable house of Izaa'cs and Co. at Bourchette, close to Aix- la- Chapelle, can show records of their house having been in business for nearly 300 yeats, Several other houses can claim 100 years' standing ill fhe same trade of clolfuers. Several Vcrviersliouses are of very' long standing, and the respectable house of Fischbach, of Stavelot, have pursued the tanning trade for 150 years. But the Wool was all, hand- spun till within these thirty or forty years ; when small spinning- jennies were introduced, and every- cottager bad his machine, which was worked, by his children ; but about 1800, a poor English-, rn-. ui found his way to Verviers, offered to make a model of a machine lo spin fifiy times more wool t- han a jenny could; and being encouraged, he soon produced his model, having apparently been bred a carpenter, to M- Simmpnet, one of the principal manufacturers of that town. M. Simmonet was satisfied, treafe^ l for a machine, and it was erected. The pool- carpenter was Cockered; tbe machine, Arkwright's adapted to wool. But it was necessary to erect such machines' iii the town, where no water" could . be had to work them Coikerell called to his assistance a Mr Hodgson, and they constructed at Liege a steam engine to drive the machinery. Orders followed so rapidly 011 them, that Co^ kerejl established an it on manufactory near Liege-, which, in process of time', has grown up ' into ' the very complete iron- loundery, & c. of Seraing.— the very Carroll Works of Belgium. The clothiers of Aix la Chapelle were as ' clfar- sigh't^ d as those of Verviers ; and steam engines arose in all parts, to woik all the machinery used,, till the fabric was brought to: perfection,. in the. very complete and compact works of Lbe long- established bouse of Keltener and Co. There,- as in Mr Gott's works at Leeds, the whole operation, frftm the' rough wool to the broad cloth finished for the shops, 13 performed within an enclosure in Ihe very loom itself. Many new wool- spinning machines are now erecting on the river that passes by Verviers ; and there is every appearance of the Belgians falling into excess of production in yarn arid chilli, as we periodically do ill tha cottcn trade- I shall resume the subject of Belgian and Prussian manufactures shortly— From a series of paf. crs •>'/ r Cfii rr- pondenl of the Spectutor, f j f i c in the Neifieffchdfi Friday, an adjourned meeting of this body was held in the Exchange Buildings, Leith, when Lord Provost Allan took his seat, ifbr the first time, and presided af the Bcaid. It is pleasing, to; observe the conciliating spirit, which prevailed at the meeting of this Commission. The Lord Provost appears well disposed to follow out the sentiments, which be formerly expressed, and we have little doubt, therefore, that the existing disputes Will soon be brought to a close. They had, we are corn vinced, originated rather in a misunderstanding than in any serious grounds of difference, and, at any rate, by mutual accommodation, and by mutual concession of points, not perhaps very deeply involving the public interest, we should hope, that harmony will be re- established, and that both parties will cord'ally unite for the attainment of one common object, namely, tha good of the community at large. The business before the meeting was purely routine and of no public interest, but some conversations arose in reference to former proceedings, which we regard as the happy omen of all we have anticipated. Mr HARIDE called the attention of . the Commission to the motion made at last meeting by Mr Criehton, regarding, the qualification of Mr William Blackwood, who was about to retire from office, which motion had been negatived, and an amendment, pf a general nature, proposed by Dr Maclagan. : arrieifr He ( Mr Hardie) alleged, that two gentlemen voted for that amendment, who were not legally members of die Commission, and contended, that tills was an interference with the privi* leges of tlie Commission, which oogi i to be checked. The individuals, he alluded to, were the late Convener Brown and Dr Maclagan, who, he contended, bail ceased to he members before the last meeting, in consequence of tbe new elections' in the Town Council, and yet tbey came down and voted in the Commission, widiout being re- elected. Dr MACLAGAN stated, that, as far as regarded himself, Mr Hardie vas utterly wrong; for, although he changed his character at the Council Boardof Edinburgh, he had never for a moment ceased to be a member of Council. Mr Brown was a member of Council also, at the time lie voted in the Commission, and there was, therefore, nothing wrong on his part. Mr C m c i l T O N explained, that the doubts os to the qualification of Sir Blackwood had only presented themselves to bim tliTee days before he made the motion; and that the sole object he had in view in it was to check future irregularities. , . . . . , i The LOUD PROVOST said, from what be understood of the matter referred to by Mr Hardie, he thought, there could be no doubt of Dr Maclagan's qualification, a » d. there was as little doubt, tbat Mr Gordon Brown, at the time be gave his last vote at the Commission, considered himself qua lified, by being a member of the Town Council. His LOtdshlp thought, however. I SYtfOD OF GLASGOW A N D AYR. ' On Tuesday the Svnod of Glasgow and Ayr met in ihe Tron Church, Glasgow, and after an excellent sermon by the Rev. Alexander Cuthill of Ayr, the members adjourned to Jhe. Session House, when . Mr, Robert M'Nair of the Abbey Church, Paisley, was elected Moderator for the ensuing s i s months. Correspondingcortimittees were appointed tor tile Synods of Lothian and Tweeddale, Perth and Stirling, Dumfries and Galloway. CORPORATION 01-' ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS, Upon this subject a letter from the Lord Advocate, which had. been received by the Moderator since last meeting of ihe Synod, was read, in reply to a communication that had'been sent him enclosing Mr Peel's letter, stating that Parliament had accepted tile petition transmitted by the synod agains!, furfh, er concessions to the | BomaniCatholics, as the petition, of the moderator only. It stated that the matter did not refer to SIR Peel or the G'qyerntnent, but chiefly lay with the House of Commohs anil the Speaker. The House had only received it as a peiitioa from tbe individual SHSmne') t h e body not being incorporated. , H a d it been of a judicial character, there would have been no objectioris. A pi ti lion from the Court of Session, signed in a similar mannci by Ihe Lord President, he considered cbuldionly be accepted as Ironi an individual. Under these, circumstances, he had delayed taking any measures till the 14th Oct. Dr BEGG said, he would be glad to hear Principal Macfarlaifsletter 011 tbe subject read again, to see how the matter stood. The letter wa3 read accordingly. It stated that tbe Church of Scotland, which consists of Sessions, Presbyteries, Synods, anil General Assemblies, were in each of these a? separate incorporations, anil that petitions therefrom transmitted to Parliament, had been recognised from time immemorial as ftoni the bodies, and not as from the individual signing only ; and that all further communications,. signed by the Moderator, were to be understood as from the. body.,. It bail been contended, after. Mr Peel hadebnsulted with the Speaker on tbe subject, that unless ihe petition had the corporation seal attached thereto, it could only be received like others, as from the persons signing.

" ' Mr HARDIE said, that was all lie wished, and on opinion, to that effect, was accordingly entered on the minates. . . . - , . .. Mr CCICHTON then called tbe attention of the meeting to a cause which had been brought before the Court fit" Session at the instance of the Town Council to enforce the assistance of the Commission's Superintendent ill tile stoppage of vessels which refused to pay certain dues at the port. This case, it had been understood, Was to be fallen from in consequence of a mutual agreement; notwithstanding which, a protestation had been lately posted in Court by the agent for tbe Town Council, to lorce the Dock Commissioners to go on. On this subject it was explained by Treasurer ANDEn- SON, and other gentlemen connected with the Town Council, ttrat tbe proceeding of which Mr Crichton complained was the act of the agent alone, without authority from tile Council; and that it was occasioned by their neglecting to give him notice to stop proceedings. They assured the meeting that there was no intention on the part of the Council to go on with the process ; and that, should they see cause to depart from their present opinion, due warning would be given to the Commission. They, however, exculpated the agent ftom any charge of wishing to urge 011 the process, as the step he had taken was necessary in order not to foreclose the interests pt the Town Council, and which it was his duty to take, they having neglected to give him instructions in the matter. The " Leith gentler n expressed themselves satisfied with this explanation. The LORD PROVOST then said that this was the first time he bad been amorg them ; and Irom what he bail yet seen, he anticipated much pleasure in their future meetings. He was but imperfectly acquainted with the subjects of difference between the gentlemen of Edinburgh and Leith; os what he did know of them was only what be bail learned through the medium of the public, press. From the; spirit ot candour, however, which he liad witnessed to- day, he was satisfied that it was only necessary for both parties to meet, and fully and fairly to state their matters to each other, in order to have every source of difference reniedi. d or removed. This was a matter which he had much at heart, and he now asked whether there was in this Commission any proper committee appointed to negociate and assist In putting an end to the differences wilti Edinburgh. If there was not, and if this was a proper place for the purpose, he would make a nip. ion for the appointment of such a committee. He had been told that many of the uifferences might be settled by reference; and if so, why should they not be amicably arranged ? If there were any which could not be settled without teference to the . Courts, let them enter into an amicable suit, in order to have doubtful points legally settled ; but if it were possiDle to settle any of their disputes out o f Court, surely let that be done. If there was any matter of difference existing, that could neither be setile- d by reference lior by appeal 10 the Court of Session, then let them agree together in an application to Parliament for a remedy ;, but, of all things, let them not continue to wrangle year after year so unproliiably as tliey bad hitherto' d o n e— ( Hear, hear.) Mr HAHBIE said, that when he was in. the Magistracy of Leith, they had taken the very step which his Lordship now proposed; and Mr , Searth, his successor, had made a similar proposition, but they were at that time met in the most offensive way by tbe Town Council. They had been taunted, and insulteo, and called troublesome people. Ail he would now add, however, was, that if these differences had not been settled before this, it was not tbe fault of the town of Leith. The LOUD PROVOST said, what he now wished, was to have a Committee appointed to inquire into the nature, ol diese differences, ami to negociate with a Committee of the Town Council, it he should obi-, r its sanction, of which he had no doubt. Mr HAIIDIE said he only wished to show that the Leitlr people were not to blame. Asto this Commission they had no disputes to settle with the Town Council, except the ene lately adverted to, which might be considered as at an end. But theie was another body in which it might be useful and proper lo propose the appointment of a Committee, he meant the Inhabitants Committee of Leith. But this was altogether a separate body from the Commission, I h e LORD PROVOST said, he bad made the proposition here tor the purpose of obtaining information, as be had no oppoitunity cf doing so in any other body jn in l. eith. Or MACLAGAN said, he was sure the general feeling of die Town Council was In unison with tile sentiments expressed by the Lord Proiost. Mr GORDON BROWN said he bad great pleasure in assenting to the sentiments delivered by the l. oril Provost, and trusted he would succeed in accomplishing the object be had so much at heart. Mr CRICHTON sail! lie was satisfied that the interests of Edinburgh and Leiih, if properly understood, would be found to be inseparable; and he had 1.0 doubt great good would arise from the negociations. Mr ALLAN, Master of the Merchant Company, hoped the gentlemen ot influenced!! Leith would act in the same spirit which the Lord Provost had done in endeavouring to briny their whole differences to an amicable termination. The LORD PBOVOST trusted they would not now stop till tlieir matters wire brought to some point. There was now only onp question to settle—'• Shall we pf tlie Town Council move first in the business, or will you in Leith ; or who shall begin ?" Il this was not settled, when he felt tHe room to- day, he would go home, and be no wiser than he ffas before. Mr HAHDIB said, he would answer for himself and tbe gentlemen belonging to the Shipowners' Society, and the Inhabitants' Committee, that they would be all most willing to appoint a committee; and he bad 110 doubt that, before, next meeting of Council, his Lordship would receive t' 10111 them such a communication as would completely clear his way in the matter. MrOoDDaRD expressed a similar opinion, and regret, ted that his Lordship had no: been there- some years ago, as in that case a great deal of money, which, bad been wasted on litigation, might have been saved.. The LOHD PROVOST said be was obliged to Mr Goddaid for his good opinion ; but it was not a t a l l improbable that bail lie been there, be might have been'involved in the discussions of the day. . l i e would not, pethaps, more than, others, have been wise beforehand, aod the wisdom lie now sought credit for was not prospective but retrospective. He believed that in all il at had been hitherto done-, they had individually acted according to their best judgment and the best of their knowledge. Mr HAIIDIE said he was glad his Lordship thought that the l. eith people bad not been so far wrong— ( Laughter.) Dr MACLAGAN said it would bean important element in tbe negotiations, that both parties should torget what was passed. ' Mr Hurdle was about to make a remark, when Mr AI. LAN said be was sure every thing had been now so fully and satisfactorily explained, that there could be no profit in prolonging the discussion. There Was nothing for them noa but to forget what was past, apd begin a new book. The conveisuion then dropped, and thc Clerk proceeded with the business of thc day, which, as already Slated, was entirely joutme, thc 83d regiment, stationed in Glasgow barracks, and the length of servitude of a number of the meit, who have been long in tbe army, has been ascertained, previous to their discharge at the half- yearly inspection, in order that tliey may be replaced by young men.

Thanks were voted to Walter Dickson, Esq. for this tine exhibition. A letter from Mr John Macnaughton, gardener to John Waucliope, Esq. of Edmonston, was read, giving account, 1st, of a seeuling nectarine; 2d, of two seedling peaches; 3d, of a seedling plum ; and, 4th, of a seedling grape vine; oil of which were approved of, and considered as highly promising. The Society's silver medal was unanimously voted to Mr John Macnaughton, for these interesting produo tions, and he was requestid to attend to the progress of the fruits, and also 10 furnish grafts or buds for_ the experimental garden.

The. committee tccounnended that Mr Spalding should attend to this seedling plum for another season ; and tliey voted him a copy ol the'half volume of the Society's Memoirs lately published, as a testimony of their approbation. ... , Specimens, of a very promising seedling apple,, raised by Mr James Goodall, ot the seat of the Marquis of Lotiiiaiv, were presented and tried.
