Dispatches fiom the Ambassadors at France, Holland, Belgium, and Spain, have been received this morning at the Foreign Office. Messengers were afterwaids dispatched to the different Ministers. It is stated in the west end of the town that the sojourn of the Cabinet Ministers in the country will be considerably abridged, in consequence of the serious aspect of Foreign Affairs. Earl Grey has since the reces3 been in a state of very indifferent health. The name of Lord Howe, as having been reinstated in the office of Chamberlain to the Queen, was expected to appear in the Gazette last Friday. The delay in the official forms no doubt occasioned its omission. This appointment is understood to have the sanction of the Premier. The Lady of Sir Robert Adair, British Minister at Brussels, died on Wednesday last of the cholera, at Paris. This lady was of French extraction, and had been many years separated from her husband. The Earl of Erroll has returned to his residence in Richmond Park from Brighton, where his Lordship, by the command of the King, has been surveying the progress ofvthe works at the Pavilion. Count Dietrichstein, one of the Secretaries to the Austrian Embassy, has left Chandos House for Paris. The Count Dietrichstein, who was a Governor or Chief Preceptor to the late Duke of Reichsladt, is a near relative to the Attache to the Austrian Legation. RUMOURED MARRIAGES IN HIGH L I F E . — A m a r - riage is generally talked of between the Earl of Lincoln, eldest son to the Duke of Newcastle, and the lovely Lady Susan Douglas, only daughter of the Duke of Hamilton. Mr Otivay Cave is about to be united to the eldest unmarried daughter of Sir Francis Burdctt. A marriage between the Grand Duke of Florence and the Princess Maria D'Orleans is said to be in contemplation; the Grand Duke is a gallant widower, and tho most popular of the Italian Princes. It is reported, that in the event of a continued improvement in the other branches of the public revenue, it will be proposed to Parliament to reduce the present high rate of postage on letters to what it was previously to the different augmentations caused by the war system.— Sun. HOLLAND AND BELGIUM— The expectations which Were entertained by the Conference of a speedy and satisfactory arrangement of the Belgian question, are at an end. On Thursday evening, a sealed note, from the King of Holland to the Conference, was given to Lord Palmerston by the Dutch Ambassador, Baron Von Zuvlen; antl, on Friday night, the members of the Conference having ail assembled, the note was opened and read by them. Instead of finding, as they had expected, an acknowledgment of the readiness of the King of Holland to treat with the King of Belgium on the recommendations of the Conference, and an appointment of Baron Von Zuylen, with full powers to treat with M. Van de Wever, the Conference, to their astonishment, and to the real indignation of some, as well as the avowed indignation of all, found a long note, without the slightest allusion to the proposal of neaociations between M. Van de Weyer and Baron Von Xuylen, or to the suggestions of the Conference. The note commences by an expression of surprise on the part of the writer M. de Verstolk, in the name of the King his master, at the delay which has attended the Belgian question since the conditions on which the King was willing to treat bad been made known to the Conference and to the Belgians, and then proceeds in language intended to he courteous, but which is not to be misunderstood, to complain of the support given by the Conference to revolutionary principles, and to declare that, whatever may be the conduct of the Great Powers, the King of Holland, relying on the justice of his cause, and on the support of Divine Providence, will know how to maintain his honour without the necessity of conceding points which are of vital importance to his country. The Conference did not meet on Saturday; but another meeting 011 the subject of the last note from the King of Holland is to take place this day or tomorrow. It is not expected, however, that any decision will be come to until after two- or three meetings. The Prussian, Russian, and Austrian Ambassadors - declared at the Conference, on Friday' that the note of the King of Holland was almost insolent; but it is understood, that even if they are sincere, which is lo be doubted, they have no power from their respective courts to concur in any coercive measures against Holland. At the same time thai the last note of the Dutch Government was sent to Lord Palnierston, copies of it were forwarded lo the Dutch Ministers at Berlin, Vienna, and St P e t e r s b u r g ; and there is every reason to believe that although the representatives of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, in the Conference, profess to be very indignant at the language of the Dutch note, it will not meet with an unfavourable reception from the Allied Sovereigns. We are assured, from authority, that although King Leopold did signify to the Conference his willingness to treat 011 . the basis recommended by that body, there was a qualification as to time. He declared that if the King of Holland should refuse to comply with ihe suggestions of the Conference within a limited period, he would withdraw his concurrence in them, and demand the fulfilment of the treaty of the 15th November. The delay specified has nearly expired; and it will be the duty of M. Van tier Weyer to call 011 the Conference to enforce the treaty of the 15th of November. It is not probable, however, that this application will be complied with. The utmost that the Conference, or rather France and England, will do, will be to force the King of Holland to agree to the treaty as it has been modified by the Conference. In order to induce the King of Belgium lo accept the modifications, he was assured that if tbe King of Holland should refuse to agree to them, he would be compelled. It will soon be seen whether the Conference will fulfil the promise which it made in order to induce compliance 011 the part of the King of Belgium. Yesterday afternoon summonsei were issued by Lord Palmerston, for holding a conference this day, at the Foreign Office. They were forwarded to the members of the Conference who were from town. The Augsburg Gazette of the 16th instant contains the following, dated Berlin, the 8th:—" By letters from St Petersburg!! we learn that Lord Durham has received a promise from the Emperor Nicholas that he will take the situation of Poland into consideration, and comply as far as possible with the wishes of the British Cabinet, The Emperor, however, will not listen to any proposals relative to tbe restoration to Poland of her independence, or tbe institutions she possessed before the revolution. It is said that Lord Durham has already informed his Cabinet that the Emperor, so far from indulging a spirit of revenge, wishes to sooth and abridge the misfortunes of the Poles, but that it would be of no avail to urge the independence of Poland, which has been found by experience to be dangerous to the whole Russian empire." PARIS, S e p t . 22— ARREST OF THE DUCHESS DE BERRY— I believe I must no longer annouhce to you this intelligence as a rumour, but as a positive and undeniable fact. This morning, at an early hour, the news was received from Nantes by telegraph. A Council of Ministers was immediately held, and the King's Attorney- General, M. Persil,! was sent for. M. Persil remained with the Council of Ministers for an hour and a half, and then, without any previous preparation, left en posts for Nantes. Where she was arrested, how she was arrested, by whom, or where she is, or what is to be done with her, I cannot tell you ; but I believe the fact of the arrest you muft now consider as certain. I t is already whispered that she will be kept as a sort of hostage for the peace of Europe, and that unless the affairs of Belgium be now settled by the live powers, that she will be brought to trial for cxciting ci'vSl war in France. This is a subject of too delicate, and at the same time too important a nature to be glossed over thus rapidly. But I have 110 time to say more before your courier leaves. — Correspondent of the Standard. A School of Military Surgery has been newly formed at Constantinople, and the direction committed to a Frenchman, Dr Sat Deygallieres.

Arrived the Skylark packet from Vera Cruz, sailed the 29th July and Havannah the 18th ultimo. When the packet left Tampico, on the 17th of July, tbe following vessels were off there, viz. Ceres, French brig of war, of 18 guns; Grampus, American sloop of war, 12 guns; and Bello India, Mexican sloop of war, 12 guns. Off'port, the Nestor, Smith, from St John's, New Brunswick. FALMOUTH, Sept. 22 Wind E. fresh gales— Sailed hii Majesty's ship Cockatrice, for Rio Janeiro and Buenos Ayres, with a mail; Confiance steampacket, for the Mediterranean. PLYMOUTH, September 20 Wind N. N. E. Arrived the Circassian, from Chatham, for New South Wales, and his Majesty's ship Jupiter, from Cork. The Donegal, with the flag of Sir Pulteney Malcolm, and Veiion and Castor frigates, arrived on Tuesday. Th » Vice Admiral has displayed great talent in eliciting the various qualities of the respective ships, but a true estimate of the value of their relative constructions cannot be fairly arrived at, as no two ships of the squadron are of similar tonnage and armament. The Vernon beats the Castor on a wind by fore- reaching, but hot by " eating her out of the wind ; " both ships are very stiff, the Vernon the most so ; but neither ship, under the most favourable circumstances, exceeded eight- and- a- half knots— a rate of sailing which many frigates in our service will considerably exceed. With the wind abaft the beam, there is scarcely a difference between them; indeed, upon the whole, we are told that the Castor in that case takes the lead of all the ships. The Snake, with the Water Witch yacht, and the Prince of Wales revenue brig, beat the larger ships on a wind, but not in running free. The Nimrod and Trinculo are entirely out of consideration, and the Donegal has lost her sailing qualities ; but ' she requires coppering. The ships are lying at Spithead waiting for orders. The Echo steamer, Lieutenant Otway, sailed from Falmouth, on Tuesday, for Oporto, with the Marquis Palmella, Senor Barboza, his Secretary and suite; Senors Costa, Vasconcellas, Rorke, and Gomez, on a special mission in the cause of Donna Maria. The Marquis reached Falmouth on Saturday morning. The Steamer had been detained some days waiting the arrival of a messenger with dispatches, who airived on Tuesday, and the steamer sailed immediately. The Neptune, 120, the largest ship in the British navy, will be launched from this dock- yard at about half- past 12 o'clock on Thursday next Hampshire Telegraph. D011 Carlos, brother of Ferdinand, who hits a party in Spain devoted to him, will not, it is supposed, recognise the right arrogated bv , his brother of changing the order of succession without consulting the Cortes, a right established lor the last 150 years. According to the ordinance of his brother Ferdinand, Don Carlos should now proclaim himself guardian or Regent for his niece during her minority, but it is not generally believed that he will so act, but will proclaim himself Monarch in his own right. It is scarcely necessary to say that the death of Ferdinand in such circumstances, and at such a moment, may lead to consequences very important not only to Portugal but to the whole Peninsula. TOWN COUNCIL.— Yesterday the following gen - 1 tlemen were elected Merchant and Trades' Council- J lors for the ensuing year, viz. The latest advices from Constantinople are of an unfavourable character as regards the affairs of the Porte. The Sultan, with a resolute spirit, and undismayed by reverses, is endeavouring lo check the victorious career of the Pacha of Egypt, and has ordered the Grand Vizier to take the command of the army. His efforts, however, it may be presumed, will be unavailing, as his raw levies will be unable to arrest the progress of the veteran troops of Ibrahim. In every engagement the Turkish armies have been defeated, and Aleppo, Alexandrette, Antioch, Adana, a town on the western side of the famous pass of Issus, have all fallen into their hands, and nothing appears to prevent their march through Cilicia into Anatolia. That province lost, the empire of the Sultan may be said to be at an end. CORN EXCHANGE SEPT. 24. We had a large show of wheat from Essex, and a fair quantity from Kent and Suffolk, with a moderate supply of barley, beans, and peas from these counties. The fresh arrivals of oats for this day's market were rather limited. Since this day se'ennight there have only been reported 2651 quarters foreign wheat, 3622 qrs. linseed, and 590 barrels Canadian flour. There navebeen exported from London, Liverpool, and Hull, during the same period, 3028 quarters wheat, 150 quarters rye, 1180 quarters oats, and 794 barrels flour.— We had a slow trade for wheat, at a decline of 2s. per quarter on all descriptions of new. The demand for old was also limited, at about Is. per quarter under last Monday's currency. Ship flour was in fair request at full as much money. Town - made unaltered in value. The best samples of malting barley were Is. per quarter lower. Distillers' and grinding parcels must be quoted 2s. per quarter below our last quotations. Malt was dull sale. New beans have declined Is. per quarter. All sorts of new peas were Is. per quarter higher. Tares being more plentiful were offered at a decline of 6d. per bushel. We had but a moderate demand for oats at nearly the rates of this day se'ennight. In linseed and rapeseed there was no variation. Mustard seed was ottered less plentifully, and dry samples were full as dear. We had some inquiry for small parcels of fine Russian wheat in bond for ex. portation.

It is understood that his Majesty will arrive in town on Wednesday next, to arrange with Ministers the future steps that may be deemed necessary to be taken with regard to Belgium and Holland. The reports of the equipment of a squadron to the Dutch coast are still very current. Nothing has transpired in the city to a late hour this afternoon, as to the contents of the dispatches received at the Foreign Office from St Petersburgh. There are no private accounts direct from Spain, announcing the death of Ferdinand VII., and by some people the news has been discredited. Although the foreign news continues to increase daily in importance, the markets for the public securities, both here and abroad, manifest so much firmness, that the more sober politicians suspect, and perhaps not without some reason, that a great deal has been put forth, connected with the question now engrossing almost exclusively public attention, for which there is not much foundation. On the Bourse at Paris on Saturday, not the slightest doubt seemed to be entertained but that the most perfect understanding existed between Great Britain and France, as to the policy to be pursued with regard to the Dutch. It is on this account, therefore, that the quotations of the French funds had undergone so little depression, scarcely in proportion to that which has occurred in English consols. An immense deal of speculation was entered into at the stock market on the commencement of business this morning, but although the supply before 12 o'clock in time bargains amounted to upwards of £ 200,000, in transactions distinct from that conducted by the jobbers, prices did not fall more than J per cent, on what they left off on Saturday. The Consol market would have receded further, but for the contents of the letters delivered from Am sterdam, which throw cold water on the speculations of the Bears, for by these letters it was learnt that the Dutch funds remained firm, fetching prices 1 per ccnt. higher than their current value here this morning. The above had so far an effect on the Consol Market, that the account price recovered to 84, buyers, the closing price at four o'clock. In private bargains the sellers again rather prevailed, and at five o'clock Consols were offered at the quotation at which tliey werte previously buyers. 1 None of the leading sellers since Wednesday last, when the panic began, have shewn an inclination to realize by purchases. Hence there is a current potion entertained that the public securities will be lower before the end of the week. In the new 31 per cents, the investment of £ 45,000, at 92, was the principal topic of interest. It was made by a leading broker in connection with some northern Bank. The closing prices was from 92 to 92J. The 3J per cent, reduced were sold for the opening at 92J. Closing prices— Consols, 1000, 83J..

JUVENILE DEPRAVITY— RESET OF T H E F T . — M o n - day, . Tames Buchanan, an orphan boy about fourteen years of age, was charged in the Police Court with stealing a great quantity of goods from tbe shop of his master, Mr Gilmore, broker, in Blair Stieet. The unfortunate boy pleaded guilty to all the charges, and stated that he bad been encouraged in many acts of theft by different brokers in the Cowgate, two nf whom, Peter Muir and David Ross, were in Court. A quantity of hearth rugs, carpeting, coffee and tea pots, tea and table spoons, & e. were produced in Court, which were found in the house of one of the brokers ; and another of them declared that he had sold many things which he had bought from the boy. On being questioned by the superintendant, he admitted that he had bought 5J yards of carpeting, and one hearth rug, all new, from Buchanan, for 6s. 6d.; while Mrs Gilmore proved that the cost price of these articles was L . I , 6s. The Magistrate animadverted in strong terms on the conduct of the brokers, and remitted them, along with the boy, for trial before a superior Court. Monday the officers of polics succeeded ln recovering the property stolen from the shop of Messrs Porteous and Smith some weeks ago, by means of housebreaking. The goods were found secreted in an untenanted house in Craig's Close; and were worth about L. 50 sterling. There is reason to believe that it was the same individuals who effected this theft, that broke into the Caledonian Mercury Office. Some Individuals are in custody 011 suspicion, but it is believed that the chief actors have escaped. At an early hour on Sunday morning, a man observed something floating in the rising- tide close by the beach at Leith. On a nearer approach, it was discovered to bo the body of a female apparently in a lifeless state. By the assistance of the police, the body was taken on shore and remowed to the Humane Society Rooms, where after the usual remedies, in such cases, animation was restored. It is believed that the hapless individual thus timeously rescued from drowning, had, in a state of intoxication, fallen asleep on the beach the night previous, and had been overtaken by the flowing tide. On Friday morning, at a very early hotir, a poor maniac made her appearance at the Manse of Luss, She is rather tall, in a dark dress with ear- rings. No trace can be had of where she came from, but the clergyman and Mr Turner have paid her every attention. She sirigs without intermission, and from the general appearance of her clothes, must have escaped from her friends only the previous night. FUNERAL OF SIR WALTER SCOTT. Yesterday, the honoured remains o£ Sir Walter Scott were consigned to the tomb, amid the unfeigned regret of thousands. Never perhaps was the esteem in which this truly great man was held more conspicuously displayed than on this melancholy occasion. We understand that cards had been issued to nearly 300 persons, who almost all attended, it being deemed an honour to be present at the funeral obsequies of so distinguished a character. One o'clock was the hour fixed on for the time of meeting, and for about an hour afterwards carriages of different sorts, and gentlemen on horseback, continued to arrive from Edinburgh, Peebles, Selkirk, Galashiels, Melrose, Jedburgb, and other parts of the surrounding country. The company having partaken of refreshments, adjourned to the library, where they heard an eloquent and affecting prayer from Piincipal Baird; and a little after two o'clock the melancholy procession, consisting of carriages, numerous other vehicles, and horsemen, began to move from Abbotsford, and proceeded through the towns of Darnick and Melrose, and by the Fly Bridge to Dryburgh Abbey. As the long funeral train passed through the villages and hamlets, one universal feeling of deep sorrow pervaded all classes. Groups of people were assembled at different parts of the road, nnd on elevated points from which a view could be obtained. Most of. them were in mourning, and many standing uncovered.- The decency, propriety, and reverential silence which was observed gave a very impressive character to the scene. In passing through the towns, those respectful observances were still more striking. The streets at Melrose were lined on both sides with the inhabitants in mourning, and uncovered. The shops of this and other towns were shut; the sign boards were covered with black; the aged and the lame came forth to pay their last tribute to departed worth ; and along the many miles of picturesque country which the procession had to traverse, the ensigns of sorrow were every where displayed ; these were the unbought find voluntary testimonies to the private virtues of the deceased from those among whom he bad lived, and by whom he was best known. At Dryburgh Abbey the body, on being taken from the lieaise, was borne by his own domestics to the grave, they having specially requested that no foreign hand should be allowed to touch the remains of a master so honoured and so beloved. The pall- bearers were— Head. Mtyor Sir Walter Scott. Right. Left. Chas. Scott, Esq. J. G. Lockhart, Esq. Second Son of Deceased. Son- in- law of Deceased. TO THE EDITOR OF THE COURANT.

The King of Holland has transmitted a note to the Conference, in which he refuses to treat, on the modifications of the treaty of the 15th November, and expresses surprise that 110 steps had been taken by the Conference for carrying into effect the treaty which was definitively agreed on by the Dutch Government in the negotiation of June and July. His Majesty calls on the Conference, a, a they regard the consistency of their own acts, to proceed without delay to put in force tbe agreement to which he had assented, and which he considered, and still considers, as final. The high tone of this note has induced the French Government to issue orders for the march of 08,000 troops to the Belgian frontiers, and Marshal Gerard left. Palis on Saturday to take the command of this army. This has certainly a threatening appearance ; yet we Still trust that war will be avoided, for, notwithstanding the King of the Belgians shapes his policy to avert it if possible, or at all events to leave none of the powers in conference the slightest excuse for aiding his adversary, yet it is obviously the policy of the great States of Europe to prevent war,; and they have, unquestionably, tbe power to make their decisions respected, by both parties, howsoever much they may be inclined to come to blows. A telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne, received in Paris, announces the important fact of the death of Ferdinand V I I . King of Spain, at Ildefonso, on the 17th inst. of gout in the stomach. The death of his Majesty will give rise to a question of vast importance. In 1829, when Ferdinand married his fourth Queen, Maria Christina of Naples, he reestablished the oncient Spanish law, according to which females may inherit the Crown. At present James Scott, Esq. Nesbitt, Cousin. Robt. Rutherl'urd, Esq, W. S., Cousin. Hugh Scott, Esq. of Harden. The United Kingdom steam- ship arrived at Hamburgh, from Newhaven, with his Majesty Charles X. and suite, after a most delightful passage of only 57 hours. On Monday, some of the friends and admirers of Sir Walter Scott held a meeting in the hall of the Royal Society, for tbo purpose of making arrangements for a public meeting, at which persons from different parts of Scotland might attend, to consider the propriety of erecting a national testimonial of respect for bis memory, and of gratitude for the honour Sir Walter Scott had conferred on his country. This preparatory meeting, though called on the spur of the moment, and necessarily small in number, was composed of persons in various walks of life, and of the most opposite political views. The Lord Provost was called to the chair; and we observed Baron Hume, Mr Thomas Thomson, Clerk of Session, Mr Mackenzie, Depute Keeper of the Signet, Sir James Gibson Craig, Sir Thomas Dick Lauder, Messrs Cadell and Adam Black, booksellers, Mr Adam Hay, banker, Drs Abercrombie and Maclagan, Mr William Allan, painter, Professors Bell, Pillans, and Wallace, Mr Trotter of Ballendean, Mr Robison, Secretary of the Royal Society, Mr Robert Johnston, merchant, Mr Skene of Rubislaw, Messrs Wood and James Gibson Craig, jut)., W. S., Mr Williams, Rector of the New Academy, & c. & e. A Committee was appointed to draw up resolutions for the consideration of the public meeting, which is fixed to take place on Thursday the 4th October. The Twenty- Sixth Annual General Meeting of the Trustees and Delegates of the Burgh and Parochial Schoolmasters' Widows' Fund was held within the High School, Edinburgh, 011 Friday last, tbe 21st current. AVe are happy to learn that the affairs of the Society are- in the most prosperous condition. Mr Cooper of Dalmeny was elected Preses for the ensuing year. Mr Pyper of the High School was re- elected General Cashier, and Mr Brvdone of Tranent, Clerk. On Wednesday the Perth Golfing Society competed for the gold medal on the South Inch, and, alter a well- coiitestcd game, it was awarded to James Condie, Esq. he having made the sixteen holes in ninety stroskes. SIR, In consequence of the death of our great countryman, Sir Walter Scott, allow me to suggest, through the medium of your widely circulated paper, that the inhabitants of Edinburgh should testify their respect for his memory by appearing on Sunday first in mourning. I am not sure whether the covering of the pulpits with black cloth lies with the Ministers or the Magistrates, but I should suppose neither would have any objection to this being done. 1 am, & c.

A gloom brooded on every countenance, and among the softer sex many were moved to tears, by the reports of new cases of cholera occurring in various parts of the town, and almost every hour of the day. We were aware last week that the dreadful pesrilence had at length visited the banks of the Nitli; but as the cases were few in number, and by some considered doubtful, we at once yielded to the wishes of the authorities ; and made no allusion whatever to the circumstance. But concealment is no longer practicable, nor indeed de sirable. Up to one 0 clock yesterday, the report for this town to the Central Board of Health, London, stood as follows :—" I beg leave to state, for the information of the Central Board, that Malignant or Asiatic cholera appeared here in the person of an1 elderly woman, on Saturday the 15th instant. Since that time till the present hour there have been in all seventeen cases, of whom nine have proved fatal." ( ADVERTISEMENT.) A SCIENTIFIC IMPROVEMENT IN ARTIFICIAL TEETH. The following notice, though it refers to an useful art of only limited interest, has attracted our attention, as an instance of that which we always trace with much satisfaction, viz. the application of remote and scientific principles to the uses and purposes of life. The art to which we refer is that of remedying the loss or defects of the teeth which time or accident pro. duces. On a subject on which so much pretension is used, it will, perhaps, be difficult for some people to believe; what is, however, very true, that the uses of teeth, so far as regards appearances, the form of the mouth, speaking, and even mastication, can be re. stored, without any of the painful processes and disagreeable machinery now employed. Mr Prowett's method proceeds, as it has been explained to us, on the scientific principle of the pressure of the atmosphere; it depends, therefore, for its results, in respect to the main difficulty of the art, viz. the support of the substitute teeth, solely on the accurate air- tight fitting of the artificial piece into its place in the mouth, and is merely an application of the well- known principle in physics, by which all surfaces fitting together, so as to exclude air, naturally cling together and cohere. The material used is the tusk of the hippopotamus, an inoffensive and homogeneal substance, highly adapted, by its solid and durable qualities, for this purpose, and wholly free from the noxious effects of metallic substances. Metal, indeed, whether used for palates, or otherwise, is always highly pernicious, and is wholly avoided on this plan. To the simplicity and efficiency of the principle above stated it is owing that the method is unattended with pain, or the troublesome and injurious consequences which are now thought inseparable from the use of substitute teeth; the contiguous teeth, instead of being worn away and dragged out by the constant action and attrition of metal clasps and springs, receive support; the contact with the roof and gums being equal, no pressure is created, and consequently no pain 01' irritation ; and they can also be taken out, for the purposes of scrupulous cleanliness, and replaced, with perfect ease, in a moment's time. Being the gradual production of the sculptor, it can be made, in the fitting in, to remedy any bad form or habit which the loss of teeth may have occasioned to tbe mouth, and to restore it to its former state ; the ultimate objects, articulation, mastication, and appearance, are consequently accomplished on this principle in a higher degree than has yet been attained, and the wearing of artificial teeth rendered easy and convenient. All this Mr Prowett very willingly shows and explains to persons who are all interested on this subject, at his residence, No. 34, Spring Gardens. The certainty and efficacy of this method has, we understand, been confirmed by the experience of many years, unattended with any failure in respect to the power and scope of the art, as here stated.— The Age, Chas. Scott, Esq. Nesbitt, Coutdn. Wm. Scott, Esq. ofRaeburn, Cousin. Col. Russell, of Ashiestecl, Cousin. Foot. Wm. Keith, Esq. of Edinburgh. A grandson of Sir Walter Scott, a son of Mr Lock hart, was also present. Before the body was committed to the earth, the English Burial Service was read by the reverend J . Wil. liams, rector of the Edinburgh Academy. A little past five in the afternoon, the last offices were performed. The effect of the scene was at this time impressive, far beyond what any words can convey, and in considering the genius and Intellectual powers of the deceased; his wit, his eloquence, his fancy, we could not help thinking of his own beautiful words, " They sleep with him, who sleeps below." The spot in which Sir Walter Scott is laid is in the north wing of the splendid ruin of Dryburgh Abbey, now, alas ! containing a more splendid ruin than itself. Here is laid the body of Lady Scott, and also that of his uncle. The situation is sccluded and romantic, and quite congenial to all the ideas of the deceased. Among those present around the grave at the time of the interment, were Lords Melville and Napier, Sir W. Rae, Sir Thomas Dick Lauder, Sir John Pringle, Sir John Hay, M.

We understand that Sir Walter's head was opened on Sunday, and that the left side of the brain was found in a soft state, and that there were globules of water under the left lobe, appearances which fully accounted for all the fatal symptoms by which he has been afflicted. of his elders against him ? Tiie letter stated that the. proposal to dispense the Sacrament more frequently " • had originated more than a year ago ; and that on two occasions when it had been thus celebrated, the elders in question had officiated ; and that he did not then recognise their right to object at any subsequent pe. riod. But he now confessed that he had not answered the question wisely in saying that he would do again what he had done. The answer he wished to give now was, that he could not express regret for what he had done, because he was solemnly satisfied he was doing the will of the Lord Jesus Clerk; but in regard to what he might do in future, it would be wrong in him to give any pledge. When he was in the same cii- ' cumstances he trusted that God would show him what he ought to do. Dr BRUNTON moved that the Presbytery approve of • the report of the Committee. Dr GORDON said, he would be glad to hear first if Sir Tait had any thing to say against the accuracy of the report. Mr TAIT— The report, as far as my recollection serves me, is very accurate. Sir WILKIE thought it was an improper question to put to Sir Tait— whether he would do so again. Dr GORDON— The answer was in the first instance - volunteered by Sir Tait. He was then asked, " Do you mean to say, & c."— when he answered as stated in the report. Dr LEE considered the question was quite com. petent. Dr INGLIS corroborated Dr Gordon's statement. The Presbytery then approved of the report, and ordered it and Mr Tait's letter to Dr Gordon, in reference thereto, to be entered on the record. The Moderator then asked Mr Tait, if he had any remarks to make upon the subject. Sir TAIT.— I have only to say, that tbe thing was not lightly done y me, but after much prayer to God. Having removed any legal disqualification, as far as the Presbytery was concerned, and after much prayer, I felt, that I could not but dispense the ordinance, otherwise I would give great offence to God. I did it, therefore, in the fear of God. It is a Presbyterian principle, that, wliije we owe the Church all obedience, it is only in the Lord. I declared to the committee, . that I proceeded in no spirit of opposition or disrespectful feeling to the Presbytery on my part, but solely from tbe consciousness, that, if 1 did not do so, I felt, that I could not answer to God for not doing it. 1 - -; Dr MACKNIOHT begged to make a remark on one of the answers of Sir Tait, where he said, that he considered himself entirely free from his responsibility to the authority of the Presbytery, in consequence of his having entered a dissent and complaint. Now, they all knew that tbe authority of the Presbytery could not be suspended by such a proceeding, nor until sentence was pronounced by a superior Court. Dr INGLIS said, he had every wish to find that thtA letter of Mr Tait had removed the objections tiV his answers in the conference ; but he was sorry to 6ay It did not seem to do so. He had said that he did not answer wisely on one point, and that he ought to have said nothing ; but he did > not admit that he was wrong in acting in opposition to his Kirk Session. If he persisted in saying that he did right, when the whole Church said he did wrong, there was little reason to hope that he would act right in time to come. It was impossible the Presbytery could be satisfied with his present explanation, but he did not think they could come to a decision at present on the merits of the case. He therefore thought it would be right to give Mr Tait more time to reflect on the case— on the hazard to which lie was subjecting himself and the peace of the Church. In regard to the general question of dispensing tho sacrament in particular churches, at times when it was not done generally throughout the city, he thought the Presbytery should forbear entertaining or pronouncing upon that point, as it might affect a question now under appeal; but in so far as Mr Tait was individually concerned, the Presbytery should find that they were not satisfied with the explanations given, but delayed , further consideration of it till next monthly meeting, in order to give Mr Tait more time to consider of the matter. He moved to this effect, which was agreed to, and the committee were re- appointed to confer witlf Sir Tait. PRESBYTERY OF EDINBURGH. Yesterday, the Presbytery of Edinburgh held its ordinary monthly meeting. A deputation from the Town Council of Glasgow presented a call to the Rev. James Henderson, Slinister of Ratho, to the charge of St Enoch's Church in that city, which had been sustained by the Presbytery of Glasgow, along with reasons for the translation, & c., and prayed the Presbytery to loose Mr Henderson from his present charge, in order to his being settled in the new one. Sir H. who was present, accepted the call, and the Presbytery sustained the reasons, and ordered intimation to be made to the parties interested in the usual form. Answers were given in by the Committees appointed to prepare them, to the Reasons of Protest and Appeal by the Si mister and Kirk Session of St Slary's Church, and the Reasons of Dissent and Complaint, by the Minister and Kirk Session of College Church, against the recent decision of the Pres. bytery in reference to the dispensation of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper at times when it was not dispensed by the whole parishes of the city. The answers were read, and approved of. Dr INGLIS gave in a report by himself and Dr Gordon, of their conference, by appointment of the Presbytery, with Sir Tait, on the subject of his having dispensed the sacrament to hij congregation out of the regular order. The Report stated that in their conference with Sir Tait the Committee had asked him if he did not think it was disrespectful to tbe Presbytery to dispense the sacrament out of the regular time, in opposition to the judgment it had pronounced ? Sir Tait replied, 1} e did not think it was disrespectful, because he had entered a dissent and complaint against that judgment. He was asked why he did not consult his Session again on the subject, after that judgment was pronounced ? His only answer was again to refer to his dissent and complaint. Asked, whether some of his elders had not objected to the proceeding ? Answer- One of them, Mr Hutcheson, had given his opinion against it in a letter; and other two, SlessrsDassauville and Rose, had expressed a similar opinion ; and none of these three officiated at the administration. Asked, if these three did not form a majority of his elders?— Replied, they were a majority; there was another elder, but he had not attended for a long time, and he did not expect him to return again. Being asked, if he did not thmk he did wrong by acting in opposition to the majority of his elders ? he replied, he could not do otherwise than he had done, and that he would, in similar circumstances, act again in the same way. Asked, if he meant to say that he would administer the Lord's Supper at times when it was not done by the other churches, even in opposition to his elders ?— Replied, that he could not act differently in future from what he had done. The way lie had done he held to be conformable to the will of the great Head of the Church. Being asked whether he held obedience to the Head of the Church to be inconsistent with obedience to the judicatories of the Church ? he gave no answer. In regard to the difference of opinion of his elders, he said he only was responsible, and he defended his conduct by a reference to the Book of Revelation, in what the angel says to one of the churches 111 Asia; but the Committee did not conceive that they were called upon by the remit to them to follow out such a discussion. He was then asked if the Fast which he held previous to the dispensation of the Sacrament was intended to be parochial, or congregational only ? He replied, congregational only. Being reminded that the authority of a Kirk Session referred only to what was parochial and obligatorv on the whole parish; he replied that the Fast was for the benefit of the congregation. Dr INGLIS then read a letter from Sir Tait to Dr Gordon, dated on Jlonday last, in which he refeired to an answer he had given in the conference, for which he expressed regret, and which he now wished to answer differently. It was to the question whether he would do again what he had lately done even with a majority The Kirk Session of College Church were then called to the bar, agreeably to a citation ordered at last monthly meeting, to answer to certain matters contained in the report of a Committee of Presbvtery, regarding some proceedings recorded in the minutes of Ses. sion. There appeared Sir Tait, with the following gentlemen as elders, viz. Messrs Hutcheson, Dassauville, Rose, Slacdonald, Robert Wight, and Pitcairn. An objection was here stated by Dr Brunton, Sir Simpson, and others, that there was no record of some of these gentlemen having been ordained to the office; and as one of them, Sir Macdonald, had been declared disqualified by a sentence of Presbytery, in consequence of having refused to sign tbe Confession of Faith, that they could not be recognised in the minutes of the Presbytery as elders. In the end it was agreed to receive them cum nota; and the Clerk was instructed to state in the minutes, that " the following gentlemen, as elders, Or claiming to be elders, appeared," The Clerk then read the report of the Committee appointed to confer with Sir Tait, on matters regarding the proceedings of his Session, in which he was immediately concerned as an individual, and which had particular reference to Sir Tait's authorising his elders to expound tho Scriptures to numbers of individuals collected for that purpose; and his defending his conduct when called fn question; and also in reference to his receiving and allowing to be entered on the minutes of Session the resignation of Sir Henry Wight " in terms of his letter to the Kirk Session." Mr TAIT proceeded to reply to the report, reading partly from a written statement. In reference to his elders teaching the people of the parish, he held that it was their duty to do so, and did not consider them wrong in taking part of that duty from the minister ; although he admitted, that God recognised pastors as superior, by giving them higher gifts and higher authority. He had reason to believe that he acted in obedience to the Word of God in this. The Holy Scriptures commanded elders to feed the flocks entrusted to them, and he ( Sir Tait) could not conceive that they could do so, if not allowed to exercise the grace given to them. The Second Book of Discipline recognised elders as spiritual functionaries as wellasministers. The reverend gentleman acknowledged, that, as moderator of his kirk- session, he did wrong in allowing Sir Henry Wight's letter of resignation to be entered on the minutes, and he also acknowledged, he had acted wrong in permitting Sir SI'Donald's protest against tho decision of the Assembly, in the cases of Slessrs Campbell, SI'Lean, and Scott, to be entered on the minutes of the kirk- session. He felt zealous for the prosperity of the Church. It was his daily prayer, amine never was more desirous than he was now to see it upheld in prosperity and usefulness. Dr LEE wished to ask of Sir Tait, if it were intentional, or accidental, that, in his speech, he had substituted the word " teaching" for " expounding," which was the word always used in the report. Sir TAIT said, it was with no design that he had used the word " teaching." He held that and the word " expounding" to mean exactly the same thing. Dr INGLIS said he was not satisfied with Sir Tait's explanation, particularly in reference to what he had said of elders expounding the scriptures, and especially when at the time one of his elders was charged with expounding them in a manner which brought out heretical doctrines. He was, however, inclined to make tbe same motion in this case that he had done in the other, namely, that the Presbytery were not fully satisfied with Sir Tait's explanations; but that they agree ti> defer the farther consideration of the matter liU liext month, with a view to receiving a-> iore full and satisfactory explanation. r Sir TAIT declared solemnly before God, that never in the course of his ministry, of which this was now the 38th year, did he more anxiously wish for the peace and prosperity of the Church. The Presbytery then agreed to the motion of Dr Inglis. After some discussion, it was then agreed that tbe consideration of the Report respecting the elders of the College Church should be deferred till next monthly meeting, Sir Simpson giving notice that he would insist in his objection to the parties now appearing being heard as elders, until they could produce some satisfactory proof of their having been ordained to that office. The SIODERATOR then intimated to these gentlemen that they were summoned apud acta to appear at the bar at the next monthly meeting. Mr SIACDONALD said, it would be impossible for him then to appear, and asked whether he would be allowed to give in a statement in writing, which was answered in the affirmative. The Presbytery then adjourned. SECESSION SYNOD.— The Synod met, pursuant to adjournment, on Tuesday, but the business before it was not generally of public interest. A petition to both Houses of Parliament, for the abolition of slavery, was adopted; and the congregations in connexion with the Secession Church requested to watch over the progress of this business. On Wednesday, it was resolved that a uay should be set apart for giving thanks to the Almighty for the abundant harvest. A case from the Presbytery of Lancashire, relative to Dr Stewart of Liverpool, was, after a good deal of conversation, delayed till next meeting of Synod. From the state of tho health of Mr Chapman at Carnoustie, it was agreed to accept from him the demission of his charge. A tremendous fall of the Dover Cliff, amounting to some thousand tons, took place on Friday afternoon, just beyond the Castle, it made a breach through the road to the sea ; no accident occurred we are happy to state, from the fall. T > V R I REGISTRATION OF CLAIMS. A material point occurred before the Sheriff on Tuesday relative to the claims of Lodgers. Mr RUSSELL argued against the claim, lst, That the 12th and l l th section of the Statute must be construed together, and that the character and qualification of " tenants" under the former must by reference be held as applying to the latter. 2. That joint occupants must therefore possess under one title as tenants, otherwise they cannot he brought under any of the statutory qualifications. 3. Nor can the last clause of section 12 be taken alone ; because if it be, there will be no provision for payment of assessed taxes, which provision occurs only in the omission of the last clause— and the obligation to pay those taxes must be at variance with the whole tenor and spirit of the statute. 4. Unless the sections be taken together, there is no provision for occupancy during any Specific period. 5. The English statute and laws exclude lodgers. 6. The fact is, lodgers never can be joint occupants, because a lodger and the tenant of the premises can never have undivided possession. And 7th If the act were so construed as to admit lodgers, ' each case must be separately tried, which, in ascertaining the amount of interest, would introduce much arbitrary matter into decisions. Mr HUNTER answered that he appeared on the part of the individual claimant, and that whatever might be his own opinion, or the opinion of those whom he was in the habit of consulting, it was . his duty to argue the case of the claimant. In support of the claim ' he submitted, that lst, the claim was made under the last clause of the 12th section, which conferred a vote upon joint occupants having a certain interest. This ' Clause was clearly substantive, and was not controlled either by any of the preceding clauses or that of the l l t h section. 2d, The llth section related solely to tenants— persons coming under a legal denomination, and having a legal character, altogether different from those of occupants. The latter were, in the language of the law of Scotland, termed proprietors, and were not to be identified with tenants, according to the legal acceptation of that term. 3d, The llth section having conferred a qualification upon tenants, the 12th introduces a new character and a new qualification; as it gives the right to joint occupants, having a share and interest, to the yearly value of ± 10. In the l l t h section no mention is made, either of occupants or of the qualification arising from a share and interest, and, therefore, both the character and the qualification were new and substantive— 4. ' Nor was this enactment' at alt" Controlled by the l l t h sec. It was not a proviso, Bht a substantive enactment, and was as plainly intended to stand alon as was the proviso regarding proprietors under the ' l l t h sec. The words " such premises" were indeed introduced, and to ascertain' tbe meaning of them the l l t h sec. must be looked into, when it would be found that they were merely descriptive as a house, shop, & c. • but not intended to carry, or capable of carrying, the character of tenancy. The clause bore clear indication that a year was the term of occupancy, and therefore no reference to the l l th sec. became requisite to ascertain duration. 5. Nor was payment of the assessed taxes necessary; for tbe provision as to such • payment preceded the clause in question, and applied to the case of successive occupancy. This might be against the provisions of the other clauses, but the words must be received; and as the Legislature had not enacted payment, the necessary conclusion was, that it purposely refrained. 6. The argument founded on the necessity of the same title was plainly erro- ' neous. One member of a company only might be the tenant; but unquestionably all the members were joint occupants; and several persons might enter into an agreement to occupy a dwelling- house jointly. though the rent was paid by one of them only, claim should be sustained. Mr ANDERSON briefly and ably replied. Mr DUFF sustained the claims, because he held that the 12th sec. introduced a new and separate qualification. al- The COUNTV COURT OF REGISTRATION. Immediately after Mr Sheriff Duff had taken his seat on the Bench yesterday forenoon, for the purpose of proceeding with the investigation of claims, T h e DEAN of FACULTY rose and craved his Lordship's indulgence while he alluded to a circumstance which arose out of proceedings connected with the business about which they were now mtf. ihe occurrence was one without parallel in his experience in the profession, and he felt it to be his duty to take the first opportunity which had presented itself of noticing the occurrence, as in his opinion it required the public explanation which he intended to call for, and which, he trusted, all those whom he saw opposite to him would be able satisfactorily to give. His Lordship was aware that ameeting ofcounseland agents of parties objecting to the claims lodged for registration, took place at his Lordship's house in a private room, on Saturday last, with a view to consider of asuggestion from his Lordship as to the mode of disposing of one class of the disputed claims. At that meeting it was understood by him that all that took place was private and confidential if not acted upon. He understood that he went to that meeting on the principle and with the feelings which in such cases governed the conduct of gentlemen.^ lhe meeting broke up about a quarter after four on Saturday. His Lorilship would judge of his surprise when early on Monday morning, the intervening day being Sunday, there appeared in a newspaper published in this city, a long abusive article founded on a gross and positive falsehood as to sentiments ascribed to lufn, and said to have been made by him on Saturday as Sir George Clerk's counsel at that private meeting, follow, ed with an attack upon his motives as one of the counsel. If such an occurrence should be repeated, it would tend to put an end to the habits m which the members of the bar stood, both towards each other and the members of another branch of the profession, and to prevent the members of the bar meeting in private for the purpose of discussing with frankness and cordiality, propositions made as to the business of their clients. Had he contemplated the possibility of such occurrence arising out of such a meeting, he would have refused to meet any of the individuals who acted on the other side, and he was sure his Lordship would not have permitted any such meeting to have taken place had its proceedings not been considered as private and confidential. As so extraordinary a mis statement had been made as to what took place at that meeting, for the purpose of producing an impression on the public mind respecting the motives by which the management of Sir George Clerk's interests was conducted, it was due to himself, it was due ( to the electors of this important county, and it was due to liis Lordship to state, in open Court, what did take place, and to call his attention to the extraordinary attack which was said to have occurred. His Lordship, in allusion to those claims and objections which depended on the value of property, suggested at Dalkeith that two persons might be named, to the mutual satisfaction of parties, whose joint report should establish the question of value. The other party at that time saw no objection to such arrangement, and none then occurred to lead those then at Dalkeith acting for Sir G. Clerk to doubt of the propriety of adopting it. At a meeting which took place on Friday with his Lordship at the request of the agents on both sides, the other party seemed to have no objection to Mr Gordon Brown as one of the valuators whom they themselves had employed in such valuation, and he the learned Dean, having perfect confidence in the in tegrity and fairness, as well as skill of that gentleman, stated his willingness to allow the question of value it> all the cases to be settled by Mr Brown and Mr Grainger, the last of whom the Sheriff had suggested, and whom the Dean's agent had employed as a valuator; these persons inquiring info rent and all other data. His learned friend, the; Solicitor- General, was not then in town, but the junior counsel atting with' im, said he should not wish finally to agree to the ' Vposal, until the Solicitor- General returned to town, o objection, however, was stated then, ot indeed af. terwards to Mr Grainger. Another meeting was held on Saturday before his Lordship, in his private house, at which the Solicitor- General, the junior counsel, and two agents were present on the other side, when some farther conversation in regard to the proposition, which " was new to the Solicitor- General, and as it appeared to him, the Dean of Faculty, that there was some demur taking place, he UTged the importance of going into the arrangement, lie stated that he had tne utmost confidence in the arrangement, as tending to save time and expence, and he had not altered that opinion. It was asked of him whether it should take place in all case3. He said it was most important that it should, and added, that he thought parties might ultimately be driven into the course which was proposed. To show the importance of such an arrangement, he stated that in the Court of Registration for Roxburghshire, the first case turning on value had occupied four hours, and he had heard from Mr Jameson, that the evidence was most conflicting and unsatisfactory. After this conversation, the Solicitor- General asked whether the meeting of the counsel and agents would go over all the objections on both sides, reserving the question of value. He, the learned Dean, stated that this would be an unprofitable waste of time, and the result would be, that each party would have the benefit of knowing the case of the other, and would after all go on in Court, probably with all the cases. They could not take on trust what they were told could be proved, and it was idle for them to fighton private points bf law. But he saw no reason why the separate proof as to value should not be settled as before proposed. The Solicitor- General did not see why each party should be deprived of the benefit of prepondering evidence, and he would have a great deal of evidence to support the value, besides the evidence of valuators, and that from the testimony they were likely to adduce, he thought in many cases the Sheriff would not find it necessary to make any remit himself. He, the Dean, replied, that in that ease he thought the arrangement the more necessary, as they had much proof on the subject of value also, and he found if each case was to be so contested, that many might occupy an hour or an hour and a half, and that as the valuators might ascertain the rents of the premises and adjoining property, he thought the roposal should be adopted. The Solicitor- General adhered, however, to his oWn opinion, as he was per- ] fectly entitled to do, as he conceived it to be for the benefit of his clients. When the counsel and agents assembled at that meeting, tliey entered a private room as gentlemen, tbey understood that the parties might hear his Lordship's opinion, which could be stated far more freely than in open court, and tbey might state their reasons with the same degree of freedom. They had met not anticipating any objection on the other side. He made this statement for the purpose of asking explanation, and to learn how any thing at that meeting had been made the foundation of a public attack, because they never could have met on such an occasion, except on the footing of private gentlemen. The meeting broke up at a quarter after four on Saturday afternoon, and in the Caledonian Mercury of Monday there appeared an article, nearly a column long, founded on what had taken place at that meeting. In that article there was an attack upon counsel, to whom political motives are ascribed in the discharge of professional duty The learned Dean then read the following extract which, be said, contained a gross falsehood, as to what took place on Saturday. " Sir George Clerk and his friends are Btricken with dismay.' They know that their cause is deslerate; and, accordingly, as a last resource, they lave resolved to have recourse to desperate means. On Saturday, it was intimated by Sir George's counsel, the Dean of Faculty, that, besides general objections, every question relating to the value of a iroperty, for which a vote was claimed, would certainy occupy at least FOUR HOURS in the discussion of it; and as there are several hundreds of such questions, it is not easy to calculate when tbe sittings of the Sheriff will terminate. The intimation, however, proves beyond all doubt that the object of the party is, in the first place, to harass every opposing claimant as far as possible; and, in the next place, to endeavour, by means of useless discussion, to prevent the Sherifffrom deciding all the claims within the time allowed by the statute. But this unworthy expedient will not, we are convinced, answer." The article also gives some advice to his Lordship, to which he was snre he would not attend, and goes on with a very abusive attack on what are termed the objects of a defeated party and their counsel. In pretending to give an account of the proceedings at the meeting, there were mixed up animadversions on his conduct aj counsel. As to the attack on himself, he hoped he need not say that he did not notice the para- ; raph from caring at all what was said aft- tahim, but le felt d » . cply for the honour of the . F& calty. of Advocates, of which be had the honour to be the Dean. He felt most deeply for the respectahilify of other branches of the profession, with the members of which he was daily brought into intercourse, that out of the proceedings at a private meeting, taking place in the way he had mentioned, there should have been got up to produce an impression in favour of the conduct of the other party, such an article, founded on a positive falsehood, and containing an attack on the motives of one of tlie counsel present atthat meeting— The Dean said' he made no complaint that the projosition already mentioned had not been adopted, but le called for an explanation in reference to this attack. He could easily understand that false and exaggerated statements might in time have got abroad, as to what had been proposed, but that on Monday morning, so soon after the meeting, a long paragraph should be dressed up, founded on what was said to have taken place, without a communication with some person present, was a circumstance so extraordinary, that it appeared to him to require explanation. And he must further say, that though he doubted not that those present would be fully able to exculpate themselves, it was to his mind perfectly clear that some person or other connected with the management on the other side, must have been accessary to furnishing the materials or the hints for this article. He wished also to say, that if the article was in any de. gree written by any member of the Faculty connccted with that newspaper, he was greatly mistaken as to the character of that individual. I did not bear from him that he was ignorant that there had been any private meeting, and had believed that the statement furnished to him as what he ( the Dean) had said, had been made in Court. Parties may comment on what takes place in public Courts, although it is unusual to ascribe motives to counsel. He did not make the present statement for self vindication or complaint, but openly to state bis astonishment that such meeting could take place in his Lordship's house, and without hardly a day's intervention obtain publicity, and become the subject of a long abusive attack. The object of the meeting was that it should be strictly private, and if the confidence in this assurance was once broken, there was an end to all proper feeling among gentlemen. He made the present statement to afford those gentlemen who were present, an opportunity to disclaim all knowledge of the manner by which the paragraph in question had been promulgated. The SOLICITOR- GENERAL ruse only to noticeaone point in the Dean's statement. He agreed with him in holding that the meeting had been private and con. fidential, and concurred in the disapprobation expressed of the paragraph. On his own part tl}, aiirst time he knew of the paragraph, was when ijia J< ordsliip called his attention to it at Mid Calder oh Monday; he came to town on Saturday, two minutes before the meeting, and left town five minutes after fihat mfeetlng, and on his own part, and on the part of the other three gentlemen, he disclaimed all knowledge of the origin of the article in question. But he might add, that he could conceive circumstances, in which some person connected with tbe agency of the case, might, without breach of professional propriety, and in ignorance, have concurred in the insertion of some statement on the subject. The DEAN said, the Solicitor- General's statement was perfectly satisfactory as to the gentlemen present at the meeting. But the very guarded sentence as to other persons, satisfied him that the article had originated with some one employed on the other side, and independently of the falsehood in the statement, he could not admit that tbe article could have been inserted without a gross breach of professional propriety. Messrs KENNEDY and HECTOR, W . S . , who had been present at the meeting, most Warmly and anxiously expressed their disapprobation of the paragraph in question, of which, or its origin, they utterly and earnestly disclaimed. Mr DAVIDSON, advocate, said that he concurred in all that had been said, and disclaimed all knowledge of the paragraph. T h e DEAN of FACUITY— Then the whole matter is entirely forgotten. The SHERIFF said he was surprised to see the article in question, and thought it incumbent on him to show it to the Solicitor- General. They were all agreed as to the nature of the meeting, jvhich was private, sacred, and confidential, and that no person should divulge what took place. All meetings of that kind were held on the footing that every thing there passed between gentlemen; and such- meetings were held with great advantage to the parties. The business of the Court then proceeded. MAGISTRATES OF BURGIIS. DUNDEE.— William Lindsay, Esq. Provost. Messrs James Brown, John Anderson, Adam Symon, Alexder Christie, Bailies.

By the reverend ALEXANDER KEITH, Author o f " The Evidence of Prophecy." ' We have seldom, if ever, met with a more desirable or trustworthy help than the work whose title page we have transcribed at the commencement of this paper. • • * We do not hesitate, though we cannot exactly accord with the expositions given in all their minute details, to class It among the most useful books of the kind, which have ever appeared. « • • We can assure our readers, they will not be disappointed in their expectations, however high they may have been raised. • • • We cannot too warmly recommend the work."— Orthodox Presbyterian, No. 35. ' There is a simplicity and an absence of all pretension throughout the whole, which is exceedingly pleasing, and the reader, whether he acquiesce in the soundness of the author's conclusions with regard to the prophetic periods ot not, will close the work with the feeling, that his time could not easily have been either more agreeably or more usefully employed than in the perusal of a book, which is rendered very attractive, by the mass of historical information embodied in it."— Edinburgh Advertiser, September 14, No. 7179. " Among the expounders of prophecy, we are inclined to assign Mr, Keith a high place. • • • We were about to express our anticipation, that the work would prove a popular one. That is now no longer a matter of anticipation. Though very recently published, we hear, that a second edition is already called for. We are glad to hear it, and wish it abundant success."— Edinburgh. Christian Instructor, Sept. CHEAP TRAVELLING AND F A R E S R E D U C ED BETWEEN EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW.

THIS is a Mutual Assurance Society, in which the whole Profits are divisible amongst those who are assured. Its principles will stand the utmost scrutiny. The unvarying experience of other similar Societies has shewn the lates of Contribution or Premium to be adequate! not only to pay the sums specially stipulated in the Policies, but also large additions thereto. No one who intends to provide for his family or others dependent on him, by assuring a sum payable at his own death, can resort to any establishment from which he can have a well founded prospect of deriving greater advantage than would arise to him from assuring with this Society. At the present time, when a rapidly fatal disease renders life peculiarly uncertain, it is well worthy the consideration of those who have not yet accumulated a competency for their children, whether they ought not to embrace the opportunity of providing for them, which this Society affords. A healthy person aged thirty, may, by contributing only £ 2, lis. Id. yearly during his life, secure £ 100, payable at his decease, besides a corresponding share of the Society's pro- Every facility and accommodation which other Life Establishments offer, will be given to the members.

Kinross, 2lst Sept. 1832. F R O M T H E P A R I S P A P E R S. ( From the Monitcur of Saturday.) Marshal Gerard has left Paris, in order to take the command of the army in the north intended to protect Belgium against any aggression which may be attempted on tbe part of Holland. Paris, Sept. 23. We have received the following details relative to the affairs of Belgium, which merit the most serious attention :— King William, to whom it had been notified ori the part of France that he must evacuate Antwerp before the 25th inst., otherwise France would declare war, has not waited for that epoch to make known his answer, which was given yesterday. At the same time that he declared to France that he would not evacuate Antwerp, and that he would make no concession, he caused it to J) e notified to the Conference of London that he ivould no longer bear of any accommodation or of any protocol; that his propositions not having been accepted, he considered himself entirely free from any engagement, and restored to the plenitude of his rights, leaving the decision to force. This intelligence has disturbed the Conference, and couriers have set out to all parts to cause the return of the Ministers who were absent. It is not yet known what will be done with reference to this point. On the other hand, the King of Holland has sent to Prussia, to Austria, and the other members of t h e Germanic Confederation, a note, claiming the execution of engagements entered into at Frankfort, and under which he calls for a strong force to defend his rights to Luxembourg. It is stated that M. de Werther has had a very animated conference with M. Sebastiana, on the subject of Belgium and Holland. The Prussian Ambassador laid before the Minister for Foreign Affairs, 1. The note which Count Mole addressed to the Cabinet of Berlin, calling for a formal declaration on Ihe part of Prussia never to interfere in the quarrel between Belgium and Holland. 2. The answer of the Cabinet of Berlin to that note, in which it promised to comply with the desires of France, on the express condition that the Cabinet of the Palais Royal should make, on its side, the same engagement. 3. A convention which was to serve to regulate the conduct of the Conference of London, in which " according to the express wish of the French Cabinet,'' " the principle was laid down that the decisions of tbe Conference should not be executed, except in so far as tioth parties freely accepted them." The Prussian Ambassador moreover observed that the French Cabinet was always opposed to the employment of coercive means against Belgium when that country did not wish to accept ( he bases of separation, guaranteed to King William by the twelfth protocol ; that it would therefore be very unjust, and contrary to its own principles, if Fiance were now to force Holland to accept conditions which the whole nation repels, and he requested the Cabinet of the Tuileries to reflect deeply upon the serious consequences which might result from a precipitate etep, anil to be well assured that Holland would not yield to menaces in a question affecting its dearest interests, and attacking its honour and its independence. The intelligence which we gave of the departure of the fleet from Cherbourg, was confirmed yesterday hy all ihe Journals. It is intended to cooperate with the movement of our army to the north. I t is staled that an English fleet and a French fleet will form a junction off the coast of Holland.— French Nouvelle. The Journal des Debats confirms in the following terms tho announcement of the concentration of forces on the northern frontier, and the fitting out of a sqtiadion for actire s e r v i c e : — " T h e hope of an amicable arrangement between Belgium and Holland appears , to have vanished. The last concession of King William deviated too much from the stipulations of the 24 articles to allow the King of the Belgians to accede to them, The concessions » f the King pf the Belgians to effect an arrangement appeared insufficient to the King of Holland. A new project, which conciliated as much ab possible the regard due to the sacrifices of Holland, and to the rights acquired by Belgium, was proposed lo the Dutch government. This pioposal has been rejected. After these last und vain efforts, there remains nothing for the London Conference to do but to enforce the stipulation signed by all tbe Plenipotentiaries of Europe, and ratified by their Sovereigns. Coercive means were foreseen in the course of the negociotions. The moment to employ tlum has arrived, Tfce combined fleets of Fi • ance arid England are on the point of blockading the ports of Holland, A French army of 25,000 men is aheatly collected on the frontiers of Belgium, supported by another army of the same foice. Both will pass the frontiers at the first desire expressed by the King of the Belgians. This ineasure has been adopted in concert with England. Europe must acknowledge the epitit of upiigbtness, moderation, and patience, which has directed the policy of the French Government since the Jast revolution. No alarm can be caused by a new position which wa9 foreseen. The general peace now rests upon bases too solid to be disturbed by un event, the limits of which are traced out beforehand, both by the certainty of a prompt result, anil hy the good faith of the two Powers who undertake to obtain it. Every measure hes been taken for the immediate concentration of an army of from 25,000 to 30,000 men on tbe northern frontier of France; and similar steps have been adopted for collecting a naval division at Cherbourg. The Messager des Cliamhres says upon this subject—" The question is, whether these troops ate to march against Antwerp and Holland, or to be ready to support Leopold against the dissatisfaction of the parly lhat effected the revolution, and who may be alarmed lest the measures of the new Ministry should not bo in conformity with the victorious principles of 1830." Marshal Gerard set out yesterday for the army pf the north, the change in the Belgian Ministry, and the events which, in consequence, may disturb the tranquillity of the country, lequiringtbe presence of a Murslnl of France on the French frontier. ( From Galignani's Messenger.) Intelligence has been received from Oporto, by way of Santaniler, to September 10th. On the 6th instant, the Constitutional troops made a sortie towards Villanova. The Miguelite troops left their positions without fighting, and the Constitutionalists, who only wished to make a demonstration, returned to the town. The retrograde movement of General Povoas is accounted for by him in his dispatches to Lisbon, on the ground that his proximity to Oporto favoured the desertion of his soldiers. Three large vessels and reinforcements of trpops were expected at Oporto. A letter of the I5th inst. from Cologne says:— ' Considerable movements are about to tuke'place thcr of Ferdinand, who is supported by a powerful parly in Spain, will acknowledge the right assumed ! y his brother, without consulting the Cortes, the right of changing the order of succession established since Philip V. ? I f he proclaims himself not the guardian of his brother's daughter, as required by the ordonnance of Ferdinand, lint King of Spain, in virtue of the constitution established since Philip V., « hat events may not be expected in a country already divided by so many clashing interests? What part will Europe take in this new war of succession ? This it is impossible to foresee, especially as Portugal, the Banlieu of Spain, is rent by civil war. The death of the King of Spain, which, under other circumstances, would have been but ail ordinary occurrence, is at this moment an event, the consequences of which no political wisdom can yet calculate. The Messoger de Chambres argues that the legality o f t h e act abolishing llie Sahque law in Spain, promulgated by Ferdinand V I I . , cannot be contested. This act was issued under the following circumstances. In 1707 or 17911, Charles IV. had only two children, one a daughter, and the other Ferdinand, who was so sickly, that be despaired of rearing him. The Queen, being ill ill health, and Charles, fearing that his only soil would ( lie, and that the Queen might have no children, assembled the Deputies to the Cortes— that is to say, five or six representatives of the principal cities— arid proposed to them the abolition of the Salique law. This proposal was unanimously adopted, and Charles IV. converted it into a royal decree. The promulgation of it was deferred, and during this time Ferdinand grew up, and the Queen deceived the expectations of her husband by giving birth to several other Princes and Princesses. The decree of abolition had fallen into oblivion, when Ferdinand VIL, apprehensive that he would have no male issue, ordered it lo be sought for. The decree signed by Charles IV. was not found among the archives; but the minutes of the deliberation of the Cortes, with their approval, was found, and it was to this act that Ferdinand gave his sanction. Several cabinets protested against Ibis determination, antl particularly that of France, because the abolition of the Salique law removed for ever the Bourbons of France from the throne of Spain. The Duke of Orleans, now Louis Philip I. was one of its warmest opponents. Bv this act Don Carlos, eldest brother of Ferdinand V I I . was appointed Regent during the minority of the Infanta. The Queen of Spain is said to be three months advanced in pregnancy, and if she gives birth to a Prince, Don Carlos would still he Regent, unless he should seek to arrive at the throne by a revolution. The Messager then touches upon the fact of Don Carlos coming to power in its tearing upon the affairs of Portugal. Don Carlos," it says, " who entered completely into the views and secrets of the Ambassadors of Austria and Russia, was, of all the Spaniards, he who urged most warmly the Court of Madrid to act without reserve in favour of Don Miguel. His opinion was combated, and his influence more than counterbalanced, by the Marquis d'Alcudia, who, with Ferdinand, kept up the most intimate relations with the British Ambassador at Madrid, anil who was opposed lo the risk of an intervention contrary to the wishes and injunctions of France and England. Now that Don Carlos has the power, whether as Regent or King, it is evident to all those who know his character that be will turn the Spanish arms against the Duke of Braganza, and send troops to the succour of Don Miguel. A letter from Christchurch slates, that the Baroness de Feucheres is staying there, at the lesidence she purchased of Lord Stuart de Rothsay, which she is fitting up with much splendour. She came from Paris, accompanied hy Monsieur Bechv and his mother, and returns in November, as her law- suit will then take place resjecting the property of the late Duke de Bourbon. POLAND We have received from a gentleman who left Warsaw on the Bill August, the following picture of that capital:— " The population, which, prior to the revolution T H E PARLIAMENT HOUSES W o r k m e n are usily engaged in both Houses of Parliament, in the most complete cleansings. All t h e matting has been taken up, all the seats are uncovered, and the most extensive renovations are in progress. In the Lords, several further alterations are taking place, not only in the body of the house, but in the peers' ante- rooms, double- rooms, Sic. being honestly converted into single rooms. In the Commons, the earnestness of the members occasioned the necessity of a rather curious labour.

Lord Stanley, only son of the venerable Earl of Derby, whose eightieth year has been just celebrated at. Knowsley, is perhaps the oldest heir- apparent in the Peerage, his Lordship having entered his fifty- seventh year. There are now four generations of the noble house of Derby surviving— the right honourable Secretary for Ireland having an infant family by his lady, a ( laughter of Lord Skelmersdale. The advanced ape of Lord Derby is understood to be one o f t h e causes of Lord Stanley's retirement from the representation of Lancashire at the approaching election. Mr Wilson, who has been appointed Consul General to Peru, is the son of Sir Robert Wilson.— He served several years in the Colombian army, and in consequence of bis bravery was noticed by the Liberator Bolivar, who made him one of his Aidesde- Camp. On his demise Mr Wilson returned to England from ill health. His Majesty, who has most graciously restored the fathet Sir Robert Wilson, to the high rank be formerly hell in tbe British army, has equally provided for his son, and one of his duughters, who is an attendant upon her Majesty— a distinguished mark of Royal favour. Active steps are said to be taken to carry the projected railway from Brighton to London into effect. It is intended to apply to Parliament, ris soon as it meets, for a bill. A calculation has been made that the railway will cost L. 180,000. Passengers, should the project succeed, will be conveyed to London in two hours. The Pope has addressed a brief to the Polish Bishops, dated from Rome the 30th of July. The object of it is to inculcate upon the Catholic clergy in Poland implicit subjection to the higher powers, or, in other words, to the despotic will of the Emperor of Russia. LIEUTENANT- COLONEL PHILLIPS.— On T u e s d ay last died of cholera, at his house in Lambeth, Molesworth Phillips, Esq. lieutenant- colonel of marines, the last surviving companion of the illustrious circumnavigator, Cook, of . whose detuh he was an eye- witness, and, to a certain extent, the avenger. At a dinner given to Lord John Russell at Torquay, his Lordship, after referring to the interference of landholders with their tenantry in respecL of voting ( or members of Parliament, said, if the landlords of this country should presume upon their power, should presume upon their terrible position, to compel men who have entered into no such bargain, to dispose of their votes as mere servants of those landlords— I must tell them, and fairly tell them, that we shall resent it, and lhat other measures must follow, I myself, gentlemen, ain one of those who had always the greatest doubt and hesitation, antl I may stale that I have expressed the greatest opposition to adopt the vote by ballot. Y e t i f i t conies to this, that I must either adopt such a measure, or that 1 must see the tenan t ry of England ranged at elections contrary to the wishes and feelings of themselves, I should liave 110 hesitation, I should have no doubt, I should renounce my previous opinions, and I should at once adopt the vote by ballot. I warn ihe landholders not to use that harsh or arbitrary power, for instead of regaining, instead of re- establishing that dominion which is for ever gone by, it will lead to the entire, total, antl complete overthrow of that influence which they ought legitimately to possess. T I I E BALLOT. ( From the Morning Post.) As opponents to the innovating temper of the times, among the Prussian troops stationed on the borders f o u r chief objection to the ballot is not political, but n » r\ i • . * . . 1Y1 Ar » ll o f r i i n l r if t- lio l i n o t ^ AW .. 1 ^-.. lli... -. 2 of the Rhine, antl every thing indicates pacific intentions on the part of the Cabinet of Berlin. The • ivhole o f t h e infantry is about to be placed on the peace establishment. The battalions that contained 1200 men are to be reduced to 670. Tlie artillery, however, will not yet suffer any reduction. No orders have been given in this respect, although this part of the forces is a great expence to the Government, and a heavy charge upon the dislricts in • which it is stationed, in consequence of its immense number of horses." DEATH OF THE KING OF SPAIN Intelligence o f t h e death of Ferdinand V I I . has been received hy the Government by a telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne. _ H e was born October 14, 1784, arid ( lied at St Ildefonso of an attack of the gout in the stomach. The death of the King of Spain will give rise to an important question of political right. Before the accession of the Duke d'Anjou as Philip V. to the throne of Spain, females inherited the crown; but the constitutive law of France, namelv, t h e Salique law, was introduced into Spain witii the grandson of Louis X I V . Upon the marriage of Ferdinand V I I . in 1829, with Maria Christina of Naples, liis fourth Queen, and a short time before the birth of a daughter, the present Infanta, Maria Louisa Isabella, Ferdinand restored the old Spanish jaw, by which females may inherit the Crown. ' f h e question now is, whether Don Carlos, the bromoral. We think it the besl for national morality, vigour, and happiness that every thing connected with our elections should be open and above board. If, however, we could bring ourselves to consider tbe question merely in relation to the interests of party, we should not hesitate to express the belief, that the Tory party would be great gainers by the ballot, and our surprise that the Whigs and Radicals should still continue urgent for the adoption of that system. How have the ten- pound householders, on their side, acted with respect to the business of registration ? The most clamorous advocates for the bill have in thousands of instances neglected to qualify th. mselves to vote under it ? Are these parties so senseless as to learn nothing from a fact which indicates so plainly what would be the effect of the ballot ? Those who in support of the bill were ready to fire houses, and slay kings, queens, and bishops, so long as they could push each other on, were found totally worthless the moment a little individual, isolated, unexciteel exertion was required. What would the whole class of such men be worth at an election under a system of ballot ? Positively nothing. Not a man of them would give a vote for which he was to receive neither thanks nor applause at the cxfiense of half a day's time, or the risk of soiling the tool's of his nag. Among the Tories we may say, without presumption, that there are few persons of a character so light, and to persons of a character not so light it seems evident that, under the system of ballot the election would be almost entirely abandoned. Do the Whigs and Radicals imagine lhat they can aflbrd to lose the numerous adherents of whose effective aid at every election tbe system of ballot would probably deprive them t 00,000 souls. Scarce a Pole is to be seen in the principal streets and public places, but which on the other hand swarm with Russians and Jews. The number of cafes have doubled, as it is the only resort of the Russian officers, who are excluded from good Polish society. The misery of the Russian soldiery is so great, that they do not scruple to ask charity in the public streets ; the condition of those who are cantoned in the neighbouring villages is so infinitely worse, as to excite the generous pity of the Polish peasants, who share with them their own miserable pittance. Their duty is extremely harassing— for, as their numbers are greatly ieduccd, Marshal Paskcwiiscb, in order to conceal this circumstance, keeps them constantly on the move. Every night at dark a strong guard is placed at each end of every street, and is only withdrawn at day- break. In order to replace the numerous recruits that are continually marching from Poland into the interior of Russia, and to the Caucascan regions, fresh hordes of barbarians, many of them from the confines of Tartary, are continually arriving ; and Warsaw, fhe miniature Paris, is fast assuming the external features of Asiatic barbarism. In the meanwhile, the re- organization of the Polish army is rapidly proceeding. No one can avoid serving, not even the blind and the maimed. No adequate idea, therefore, can be formed of the miserable appearance ofthe present army of Poland. The most contradictory reports are in circulation. No sooner does one Ukase appear, than it is repealed by another; for such is the corruption of the Russian employes, that it in some manner neutralizes the rigour of the government. Money can produce anything with him, even an Ukase. The Pro- consul Paskewitsch is still in the capital; he is rarely seen. The garrison parades take place in the gardens of the Chateau, and his presence is only known by his acts of tyranny and oppression. A few days before my departure, a soldier of the exnatiorial army was flogged to death for refusing to wear the Russian uniform."— Com t Journal. The artists of Paris have petitioned the King for nn annual exhibition of their works, from the Ist of November to the lst of February, when the capital is inhabited hy the rich and powerful patrons of art. The lakes and mountains of Cumberland and Westmorland, especially the districts around Keswick and Ambleside, have been thronged with visitors during the last week or two. Amongst other distinguished personages who have been rambling amidst their beauteous scenery, we may mention the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Stamford, Lord Riblilesdale, the Right Hon. P. Thompson, Mr Pemberton ( of the Chancery bar,) M. P. General Gascoigne. CHURCH OF ENGLAND T h i r t y - s e v e n of the clergy of Northumberland have addressed the Bishop of Durham, praying his Lordship's attention to the evil of pluralities, and to the necessity of some measure ofremuneialion f i r poor livings, by a graduated assessment on higher livings and on church sinecures; and lastly, to some less objectionable mode of paying clerical labours than by the tithe system. Forty- three of the clergymen of the same county have addressed the King, humbly representing to bis Majesty the propriety of summoning a Convocation, in order that the reforms that are called for in the Church, may be begun by the Church itself. His Majesty received the address very graciously. The Bishop of Bath and Wells, in a letter addressed to H. F. Richardson, K- q., t h e Secretary to the Agricultural Employment Institution, expressed himself t h u s : — " After an experience of 30 years. I feel myself justified in asserting that I know of few plans better qualified to promote the temporal and, at the same time, ihe eternal happiness of the poor, than tiie giving to the labourer a small allotment of land, to be cultivated at his leisure hours." The harvest is completed for this year throughout Somerset. The quality of wheat and lhat of barley has been in some disfricts very slightly injured by adverse weather; but, on the whole, the season has been highly favourable, and ihe samples brought to our markets have been excellent.— Balk Herald. In many parls of this county, the orchards pre. sent a full crop, while in other dislricts the bearing is very partial, 60me places having scarcely half a crop, anu many none whatever. The price of rough farmei's cyder is 40s., superior 00s., and best, fit for bottling, from the last named sum to L. 7 a hogshead.— Bath Herald. Tiie harvest in the neighbourhood of Retford is now fast approaching its termination, for, with the exception of beans, and a few batches of late sown oats, all is safely gathered in. Previous to the late rains, however, the greatest bulk of the wheat was got in in good condition, and it appears that what has been carried since is riot materially injured. During the last week the crops of barley have been housed in good condition, and, wilh the exception of being a little stained, appears to be very little worse. The crops of all descriptions of grain are the most abundant we have known for a long series of years ; anil seldom has the season suited both the sandy and clay soils so well as the present one: in a word, we have an abundance of all the necessaries of life, and ull in the finest condition.— Nottingham Journal. The demand for hops from France, Belgium, anil Germany continues, which will clear the market of the old stock, and be of much service to the dealers. It is nearly fifteen years since there was a similar demand, and it arises in the present instance from the failure of the crop in those countries.— Dorset Chronicle. The body of an unfortunate creature, the wife o f M r M u n r o e , an aclor at the Bath, Cheltenham, and Edinburgh Theatres, and formerly at tbe Coburg Theatre, was found floating on the River on Tuesday morning. She had been separated from her husband for some years; and until the last twelve months, had lived under the protection of a Major in the Army; but during the latter period, 6he had led the wretched life of a common prostitute. In May last, she and her sister became each possessed of L. 400 hy the death of their mother; and, while that lasted, they lived in the most expensive manner. In little more than a month, the sister died, and the deceased expended nearly L. 50 in burying her. At length her money was exhausted, and she was reduced to a state of the most abject distress, chiefly subsisting upon small sums of money from those who had known her in better circumstances. In her bosom, three letters were found, which, from the date, showed that she had contemplated 6elf- destruction so far back as the 8th instant. One of the letters was addressed to whoever might discover the other two, and Btating where they were to be sent; adding, " b y so doing they will oblige n miserable cicature, whom misfortunes have driven to this dreadful end." At Mary- le- Bone Police Office, on Thursday, Mr Cochrane, nephew to LordDundonald, charged a man, named Reddal, with creating a riot at his house 27, Dorset Street. It appeared, from Reddal's statement, he had been employed by Mr Cochrane, in November last, to raise one hundred and fifty men for Don Pedro, and, in so doing, had spent every fraction he was worth in the world. Mr Cochrane admitted the fact of Reddal having been so employed, but denied that any thing was due to him. The Magistrate seemed to think otherwise, and that, until he was paid, the man had a right to call on Mr Cochrane. He, in consequence, dismissed the complaint. A captain of a vessel, named Pike, was summoned to the Thames Police Office, a few days ago, on a charge of cruelty to his apprentice. It appeared, from the eyidence of the boy, that he had, on one occasion, neglected to clean a saucepan, in which a fowl was boiled for the terrible Captain Pike, and, in consequence, the bouillon was tainted with ( certainly not a very delicate ingredient) train oil. For this he was severely beaten, and, like master like man, while the Captain beat him, the Captain's dog bit him, so that, leg and shoulder, lie was well oiled between them. After some discussion, Mr Ballantyne cancelled the boy's indenture and advised an amicable settlement. The boy's friends asked five pounds; the Captain demuned; at length they struck at two pounds, and the result was reported to Mr Ballantyne. But the worthy Magistrate scouted the idea of forty shillings for a paltry beating and biting, and ordered the party to receive twenty shillings and expences, iu the house, to appear there before prayers, and affix their names by means of paper and wafers, on the backs of the desired seats. This desire for particular seats ran so high during the debates on the Reform Bills, that scores of members have been known, in spite of lute debates on the previous nights, to return to the house before eight o'clock on the ensuing mornings, to affix their names on the backs of particular seats, to announce that they would be present " at prayers"— namely at four o'clock— a ceremonial that was considered, in the Commons' code of honour, a sufficient engagement of the seats for that night's debate. But this ticke t t i ng of the seats lasted only for one night— the ceremony was to he repeated each morning. This caused such an accumulation of watering, and such a succession of tbe scraping, that the wainscot backs were literally scratched and worn into holes; and to remove those unsightly defects, it has been requisite to take down the backs, to replace them, ROXBURGHSHIRE— JEDBURGH DISTRICT.— The claims of the established clergy, in virtue of their glebes and manses, have been uniformly admitted, and so have the claims of parish schoolmasters, where their houses, gardens, and school- rooms are of the value of £ 10 yearly, but the salary is not allowed to be taken into account. Generally, therefore, the established clergy and parochial schoolmasters may be held to be legal voters. Another description of doubtful claims was those of outgoing tenants, that is, such as removed from their farm- houses and grass at Whitsunday, but have the present white crops. In these cases the Sheriff has rejected the claims, except where the claimant at the time is actually in possession of land worth £ 30 a- year of rent. We have already mentioned that the claims of toll- keepers, as such, have been rejected ; and in the case of joint- tenants, with a rent above £ 56 but under £ 100, where only one of the joinutenants claimed, the Sheriff has rejected such claims; thus establishing the principle, that unless each o f t h e joint- tenants has a clear £ 50 rent, neither of them are entitled to be registered. The objections founded on informalities committed by the schoolmasters as to lodging claims were dismissed. The claims of factors occupying houses or lands of the yearly value of £ 50 were admitted, although no rent was stipulated, such possessions forming a part of the factor's emoluments.— Kelso Mail. AYR In deciding upon the claims for enrolment as electors for the burgh of Ayr, under the reform act, we understand that the ( sheriffs' assistant, John Cowan, Esq. advocate, on Friday last rejected all claims made on lands within the Parliamentary bounds of the burgh upon which no house property is situated.

Blr Cowan, who took the exclusive charge of claims within the burgh, disposed of the whole on Saturday; and Blr Sheriff Bell, who commenced his sittings on Tuesday, the 11th current, to investigate the validity of the claims of county voters in the district of Carrick and part of Kyle, finished the business yesterday, when 101 were rejected out of 1341. RENFREWSHIRE The claimants to vote in the county have all been admitted, with the exception of about twelve, who have not produced evidence as to the extent of their rental. The - Sheriff adjourned the Court till Alcnday, to affoid an opportunity for adducing such evidence. Objections were lodged against only two of the claimants, and these objections were ultimately withdrawn. It is not expected that there will be a single rejection. BURGH OF RUTHERGLEN.— On Tuesday morning, at nine o'clock, the Sheriff of Lanarkshire proceeded to scrutinize the claims for enrolment in tbe burgh of Rutherglen, in tbe Court- house there, when the whole, amounting to 158, were disposed of in little more than an hour. Of 20 objections lodged on the part of Captain Dunlop, 2 only were sustained ; and of 12 on the part of Blr Campbell, 4 were sustained. WIGTOWN The Sheriff completed his Court of Registration for the Lower District on the 20th. Various objections had been lodged to the claims of registration, particularly in the burghs of Wigtown and Whithorn. In the former 107 claims had been lodged ; twenty- six of these have been rejected; but appeals have been taken against the most of them. In Whithorn there were sixty claimants, nine of whom have been rejected. Several nice and intricate questions arose in the discussing of these objections, and'weie argued with great ingenuity by the counsel and agents of the different candidates. The Sheriff has decided, lst, That no specific period is necessary for ownership to a claimant within burgh, provided he be proprietor at tbe date of lodging bis claim. 2d, 1 lint a tenant within burgh occupying two bouses under different landlords, not ofthe requisite value, with land attached to one uf them, either not £ 10, is not entitled to be registered. It is but justice to Air Sheriff Walker to state, that he has discharged his duty in such a manner as to reflect the highest credit, anil to afford satisfaction to the different parties interested. EDINBURGH NEWS CONTINUED. Silt WALTER SCOTT.— At the dinner given to Blr Knowles at Glasgow on Friday, the health of Sir Walter Scott was thus introduced by Sir Daniel Sandfonl :— The Chairman " Gentlemen, the toast I am now about to propose is one that will naturally be expected at a festival in honour of a British Poet, and to which I know that every heart in this assemblage will respond with the liveliest enthusiasm. It may deepen the feeling with which you will receive it lo reflect, that this is too probably the last occasion on which it can be offered, or received under the form in which it can still be given. Need 1 name the great name of WALTER SCOTT ? need I say any thing to exalt your admiration of the man, who has done more than any other boast of our Scottish literature to create for his country, as well as for himself, a European reputation — nay, who has established a new link of sympathy arid brotherhood between us and every tribe of civilised humanity ? Who of you that lias travelled in foreign, perhaps in far distant lands, has not found that name in itself enough to break down the barriers of cold formality, and to usher you at once into fhe hearts and affections of those to whom you came as a stranger f In every tongue, cr almost every tongue, that is spoken by educated men, the works of that extraordinary mind are read with rapture, and the name of Scott is not pronounced w ith more affectionate emotion on the pastoral banks ot liis native streams, than by the side of the. Seine or ihe Tiber, the Danube or the Rhine. Never, shall I forget an incident that befel a near relation of my own, who, on entering a great city of the Continent, wrapped in one of Scotland's many- coloured plaids, was greeted by the acclamations of the people— arid the burden of their cry was Walter Scott. Gentlemen, in that shout spoke the homage of the whole enlightened world. Happily for me it would be utterly supeiiluous in this company, to run over, with cursory eulogium, the long catalogue of wonderful productions that have teemed li- oni his creative genius, and above all it would be needless to dwell on those exquisite fictions, instinct with the spirit of poetry, though not clothed in its external garb, which the judgment of a brother bard pronounced to form in themselves a consummate libraiy. But since I have ventured, in some former observations to hint, I hope in 110 invidious spirit, at a comparative failure of this great genius in one department of poetry, I would fain oweli with the stronger emphasis on his glorious excellence in other branches of the art. It bas been for some time a popular opinion, that the splendour of Sir Walter's more recent productions has partially obscured the lustre of liis poetry. Vet wdiy should it be thought so? Is that poetry not still engraven on our memories ? Is it not still the very manual of every traveller in our romantic land ? Is it not by tlie aid and influence of that poetry, that " not a mountain reals its head unsung ?" Does it not cover, with its rich associations, eveiy spot we most love to visit, brighten the beauty of tiie Highland lake, people every hill and glen with fancied lite, and give new fascinations to scenes, where nature seems already to have lavished all her powers of grandeur to astonish, or of softness to delight ? It is seldom a safe thing to indulge in prophecy, but gladly would 1 peril any reputation for Bagacity on that article of my critical belief, which maintains, that by his poetry will Scott be handed down, an immortal name, to all succeeding generations. Von remember the line of a great English classic of a former day, " three poets in three distant ages b o i n ; " that line will be differently read and interpreted at different eras, but, at the present, I will say, that at least my own taste and predilections would lead uie to apply it to the surpassing claims of Homer, Shakspeare, Scott, and it is a prcud ennobling thought, that to our own language and our own litemture two of them belong. Gentlemen, when last the illustrious individual, to whom 1 am rendering this feeble homage, left our shores, it was the hope of liis friends, as it was the prayer of his country, that he might return with tbe health of his frame reanimated and the lustre of bis genius unimpaired. It has been otherwise decreed. Perhaps, at this moment, that mighty spirit is flitting from the world, which it lias so long instructed and adorned; perhaps it is only to tbe distance that intervenes between the scene of his sufferings and this place, that we are indebted for a last opportunity of giving expression to that enthusiasm, which all after ages will associate with the name ot Walter Scott." When the enthusiastic audience cheered every HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. Tho fifth meeting of the Blelrose, Selkirk, and Galashiels Horticultural Society was held in the Galashiels Arms Inn, ou Friday the 21st instant, when premiums were awarded to the successful competitors for the following articles, viz. For the six best Hollyhocks, to Alexander Bertram, gardener, Gala Bridge. For the second best ditto, to Andrew Biunton, gardener, Iiuntly Burn. Eight competitors. For the best three sorts of Plums, six of each, to James Glendining, gardener, Riddel. For the second best ditto, to Thomas Iuglis, gardener, Prior Bank. Seven competitors. For the six best Carnations, to David Caldwells, gardener, Holylee. For the second best ditto, to Alldrew Brunton, gardener, Huntly Burn. For the best flavoured bunch of Grapes, above eight ounces,, to James Robertson, gardener, Eildon Hall. For the second best ditto, to William Bogie, gardener, Abbotsfotd. For the best two sorts of Peaches, under glass, to Janies Robertson, gardener, EildonHall. For the second best ditto, to William Bogie, gardener, Abbotsford. For the best two sorts of Peaches, in the open air, to James Robertson, gardener, Gala House. For the second best ditto, to William Bogie, gardener, Abbotsford. Fcr the six best Blagnum Bonum Plums, to Jumes Scroggy,. gardener, Old Blelrose. For the second best ditto, to William Fisher, gardener, Harmony Hall, Blelrose. Ten competitors. For the two best sorts of Pears, three of each, to Archibald Haig, gardener, Friars' Hall. For the second best ditto, to John Herbertson, gardener, Sunderland Hall. For the three best Apricots, to James Glendining, gardener, Riddel. For the second best ditto, to Janies Robertson, gardener, Eildon Hall. Eight competitors. The general display of fruits and flowers was much beyond the expectation of the connoisseurs in this part of the country", amongst which we might particularise seven varieties of peaches and two of nectarines, shown by James Robertson, gardener, Eildon l l a l l ; also, some fine specimens of retarded gooseberries, currants, and cherries, by several other members. Among tbe flowers the dahlias were of a very superior description, and attracted particular notice. The exhibition upon the whole, afforded general satisfaction, and the members of the Society are by no means unworthy of public approbation, fcr the delicious treat they presented to the lovers of horticulture.

DUMFRIES CATTLE BIABKET, Sept. 19 We h ad a fine show of cattle to- day, and in point of numbers the Sands bore a better appearance than we have teen for ninny weeks. The numbers were 1798. The heavy Galloways were in vtry respectable condition, and with the exception of a lot of 57 from a neighbouring parish, had been all collected from tbe pastures in the shire and stewartry; they brought from £ 10, 10s. to £ 7, 15s. a- head. Of young Galloway cattle one lot w as sold at £ 6, and another at £ 5, 17s. a- hcad. Among the stirks a lot brought £ 6 a- head, with a very trifling luck- penny returned ; other lots sold down to £ 3. For the better lots of Highland three- year- olds, from £ 7 to £ 5, 10s. were asked, but the few sales which we learned all approximate the latter sum. Two- year- olds sold at from £ 3, 10s. to £ 5 ; and stirks at prices so low in many cases that we would rather not mention tliem. At the Bluir of Ord Market, held yesterday apd Wednesday, about 6000 head of black cattle were offered for sale. Very little business was done on Wednesday, but a number of cattle was disposed of yesterday. For a lot of upwards of fifty two- year del Dunrobin stots £ 6, 15s. w as asked, and £ 6 refused. A lot of Highland three year old heifers brought £ 7 each. A lot of superior three year old stots fetched £ 8, 8s. Prices may be quoted as tollow :— Three year old stots from £ 7 to £ 9 ; two year old do. from £ 3 , 10s. to £ 7 ; stirks from £ 2 to £ 2, 15s. Two year old heifers from £ 4, 10s. to £ 0. Several flocks of sheep were on the muir; wedders, fit for the flesher, brought from 12s. to 16s. The show of horses was inferior, and sales dull. At the Bogbain Cattle Blarket, held this day, the show of cattle was great, and the number of drovers and graziers exceeded that which attended any former market this season. Thele were some horses of good quality, and wetlders, ewes, and lambs, which appeared to be in excellent condition, and changed owners at what was considered fair prices. The sales were brisk, and almost all the cattle changed owners at priccs fully better than those given at the Aluir. of Ord. Fat cattle were paiticularly in demand, aud fctcbcd from £ 5, 6s. to £ 6, 6s. per Dutch stone, sinking offals. From fifty to sixty persons sat down at the ordinary, which dill great credit lo the innkeeper. KELSO, Sept. 21 Wheat, 36s. to 40s.; ditto fine, 42s.; ditto, old, 50s. Barley, 20s. to 2 1 s . ; ditto, line, 22s. to 23s. Potato oats, 15s. ; ditto, tine, 16s. 6d. per boll of six imperial bushels. With a fair demand. At Ilawick Tup Fair, on the 20th and 21st current, there was a great show of sheep— indeed the maiket was evidently overstocked, and nail it not been for tbe demand from the notth, the Cheviots would scarcely have been saleable. Owing to tbe high price of half bred lambs, this and the preceding season, there was a considerable run upon the bled tups, which, however, dropped a little the second day. M e had a more numerous supply of Cheviot end half bred lambs, for which there was a dull sale. The best Cheviot tups brought from £ 4 to £ 6, but for a lot of any extent, £ 3 was the average price ; inferior sheep were sold fiom 30s. to 50s. Bred tups Tan from £ 3 to £ 5, and some were sold as high as £ 6 ; inferior, 32s. to 50s. Eild Cheviot ewes also felt a decline in price, and were selling at ' 20s. to 23s. Swine pigs 13s. to 15s. in consequence of the line weather for harvest work, tho market was not so ihrougly attended as last year. AGRICULTURAL REPORT. WiGTONSinnE It may be said that the harvest is nearly finished in this county. Portions of oats and beans still linger 011 tbe fields ; but much work has been perfoimeil within the last few days by those who were in the rearward. The crops on many farms are distinguished by abundance, 011 others by mediocrity ; but by far the greater portion by the foimer. It is the same with regard to quality, as far as that circumstance can yet be ascertained. Wheat does not appear to yield very well from the straw ; however its acreable produce cannot as yet be very generally ascertained. Oats generally continue to maintain a character for a good and abundant crop ; distinguished not only for bulk of straw, but for quantity and quality of giain. It may be fairly stated that oats will be above an average crop-— perhaps not inconsiderably. It is to be doubted whether barley will exceed, or wheat amount to, an average crop, throughout this district. The potatoe crop promises to be an abundant one in all quarters. Turnips are of a very anomalous description. Upon some lands they have, for fulness of plant and vigour of growth, seldom been equalled ; while on others of equally good quality and exposure, the roots are thin, poor, and insignificant. A mild and dry October may, however, still woik much improvement. On poor cold lands, with a northern or north- west exposure, they are a total failure. The pastures of this district abound with excellent feed, and we hear, that the same may be said of the grazing counties in England ; yet the jobbers continue to deal with caution for the cattle on hand, though they aie offered at ten or twelve per cent, lower than last year's prices.— September 21.
