AM regrets to say, are very different from what the public have been led to anticipate ; oil the Tea bought on such fttwmVsWti terms tit the beginning of the sale having been returned to the Company and resold st an advance, diity included, of about ninepenee ti pound, which advance, by ( he time it reaches the consumer, will amount'to about a shil- 1 ling. I There may be some doubt as to who- are to blanie in ! this affair, but there can be none its to who are the ! gainers by i t : the Government getting in the shape of duty some £ 25,000,— the East India Company some 1 £ 25,000 more.,— the brokers their commission upon the above sum; and those London dealers who seem to have originated this fracas,' My endeavouring to keep up the price of Tea until they could rid themselves of their large stocks on hand, are g'ainets to the amount of the diftetence between the present value of their stock and what that value would have been had the Teas at the late sale remained in the market at the originally reduced price ; and, as they held upwards of three million of pounds' weight, ihey must havu been benefited, at the expense of the consumer, to a pretty considerable extent. One thing has been made manifest by this dispute, which is, that although the F^ ast India Company have been so severely blamed'for the existing high price of Tea, it is not altogether attributable to them ; for their Charter obliges them to expose their Tea for sale at a very small advance upon the cost; and although the splendid establishments, vessels, and stock maintained by the Company— to the support of which the Tea • contributes a very liberal sum— add pretty considerably to the first cost, still, with all these additions, the Company's upset prices have only been of late, for p. iheas, ls. 4( 1., and for Congous, Is. 7( 1. and ls. l i d .; whilst the Brokers and the London Trade have run up tbe price of Bo'neas to 2s. Id.,— that is, duty included, to 4s. 2d., being Is. 76. per pound more than ought to have been paid for them. And allowing that these Bclieas were better than the ordinary run of this description of Ten, still tbey could not have brought more than Congori prices, that is, Is. 7( 1., or 3s. id., duty included,— saving the public ls. Id. per pound. The extra prices paid for Souchong and other tine qualifies have been in even greater proportion. At present there are only three circumstances which could produce an immediate reduction tq ihe extent anticipated by the public. The first is a reduction of driven, for two years in a Droskie; is very steady and quiet, and fit for any sort of work.

( Continued from our last Private Correspondence.) T h e LORD CHANCELLOR, in c o n t i n u a t i o n , said, lie considered this to be no speculative question ; it was no visionary or fancied grievance of which the Dissenters now complained ; it was not a matter merely of principle, as many of the subjects lately taken up by that highly respectable and most virtuous and enlightened body of men appeared to him in some respects to be ; but it was a practical evil— a grievance which met them in the ordinary transactions of life, and which impose a burden 0: 1 them in the way of disqualification, from which the rest of their fellow subjects were free. ( Hear, hear.) Their Lordships would not, he believed, admit that it could be possible for this exclusion to last much longer. That it should continue much longer in these our days, he held to be a thing utterly impossible. The two Universities are the only two bodies having tbe power of granting medical degrees, they are also the only bodies which at once have the monopoly of the privilege, and of the incapacity to teach. They at once claimed for themselves the exclusive power of making doctors, and at the same time loudly admitted, for they proclaimed their incapacity, that they coul. l not tcach medicine. ( Hear, and laughter.) They could only make doctors, they could not qualify them. ( Laughter.) They could make a man a master of arts by teaching him mathematics and the classics, but he must learn medicine elsewhere ; and after qualifying himself by seven years' study in another part of the world, return to the bosom of his alma mater for the puipose of being created a doctor. But if the same individual happened to be a conscientious Dissenter, he could not go to Oxford at all. He would, to be sure, be admitted at Cambridge, but even there he could not be able to obtain a mathematical or doctor's degree. For the purpose of obtaining a degree in medicine, he must quit his home, his family, and friends, to go to a foreign country. Why was he subjected to this hardship ? Simply because he differed from the religious opinions of the majority of bis fellow subjects in this part of the country. ( Hear.) The noble Duke ( We l l i nSt o> 0 had, to be sure, an easy method of disposing of all objections on this as well as 011 most other questions. The noble Duke had askeel what great evil was there in allowing students at, the Universities to proceed with their education, taking cave before tbey obtained their degrees to make tli'em sign the articles of Christianity, as he called them, lint the noble Duke ought not to forget, that these articles were the articles of Christianity adopted by one particular church ; and however much the noble Duke and himself might venerate its form of worship, tbe pure and rigid Presbyterian considered it to be scarcely removed from what he regarded as little better than Paganism, namely, Popery. The noble Duke dwelt with much satisfaction upon the circumstance that the present petition had been signed only bv sixty of the resident " members of tbe senate of the University, that they bore no proportion to the whole number, and therefore a preponderating majority must be considered as opposed to the prayer then addressed to their Lordships. Now he ( the Lord Chancellor) begged their Lordships to recollect that the petition was signed only by resident members of tbe University, aud if any portion of that learned body could be supposed to feel a hankering after such opinions as those of which the noble Dake was the advocate, it v/ buld be rather members who resided, than those who might be scattered about the kingdom, and living in unreserved communication with their fellow countrymen. There were doubts and difficulties as to the proper mode of removing those disabilities of which the Dissenters complained ; but he bad no doubt that the University would seriously apply itself to the task of investigating the question, with a view of devising the best mode of overcoming all those difficulties. In his judgment it would be tbe greatest of all slanders upon that learned body to suppose them capable of shrinking, from the fullest inquiry into their whole system and management— their rights, privileges, and co. relative duties. From such an inquiry he anticipated the happiest results, and he had no doubt that the conversation of tbat day would have the effect of calling the attention of tha University of Cambridge to the fair and just demands of the Dissenters, and to the fitness, the safety, and tbe high expediency of losing no time in turning a careful and scrutinizing eye 0: 1 tbe growing importance of that great question. The Earl of DURHAM said, the noble Duke ( Wellington) bad, it appeared to him, passed over somewhat slightly the great delay and inconvenience sustained by the Dissenters, on their way to the legal and medical professions, by the existing regulations at our English Universities. But, if the matter had been brought more home to him; if, in the organisation and arrangement of the officers of that great and glorious army, of which he was the head; if, upon every turn, lie were there met with disabilities, arising out of dissenting opinions, then the noble Duke would have been led to entertain feelings of sympathy for meritorious men, held back from advancement and honour, on the ground that they had not subscribed to tbe Thirtynine Articles, or upon some equally futile obj? ction. The Duke of CUMBERLAND wished to observe, that, although the statutes of the University of Dublin differed from those of tbe Universities of this country, it by 110 means followed, that he should not be anxious to support the latter. The petition was then laid on the table. The House adjourned at half past seven. SATURDAY, MARCH 22. Tbe House sat to- day for the purpose of receiving several bills from the Commons, and to forward the bills on the table a stage. Mr BERNAL, M r G. W . WOOD, and other members of the House of Commons, brought up a copy of the report of the committee on the Liverpool freemen disfranchisement bill, tbe pensions duties' bill, the qualification indemnity bill, tbe smuggling act amendment bill, the consolidated fund bill, anel the Wigan branch railway bill, which were severally read a first time. The House then adjourned till Monday. H O UFSRIED AOY, F MACROCMH M2 1O. N S . THE ORDNANCE ESTIMATE3. ( Continued from our last Private Correspondence.) . Mr HUME, in continuation, said he would place the Ordnance Department under the Commander- in- Chief, and abolish the board which cost £ 70,000 a- year for merely auditing accounts to the amount of £ 40,500. Again, Imlf a million had been lost to the country by the purchase, sale, and expence of keeping perishable stores. There were muskets equal to the consumption of fifty years, and powder for forty years, perishable both, and this prevented the Government from encouraging improvements. With all this powder, what was the use of the Faversham anel Waltham establishments ? There were also 12,000 ship. carriages quite useless, except to create cxpence; 1, G83,0B0 shells, and twelve years' supply of wheelbarrows, all rotten 1 The first cost was extravagant, and the expence of keeping more; and when these articles came to be sold, tbey brought nothing. Any warehouseman in England would take charge of all the useful stores for £ 10,003 a year. Instead of which, we had a Master General, with a s l a r y of £ 3000 a year; a Surveyor General, with a salary of £ 1200 ; a Clerk of tbe Ordnance, £ 1200 ; Principal Storekeeper, £ 1200; Treasurer, £ 1000; Secretary to tbe Master General, £ 1000; and a Secretary to the Board, £ 1400. Thus the Board cost £ 10,000 per annum, while the salaries of clerks, & c. came to £ 50,000; add to this the expence for Dublin arid the outstatipns, and the amount was over £ 70,003. He put it to the House to say whether this was a civil establishment which ought to be kept up. All boards were bad, but this was the worst. The employment of agents would enable the Government to abolish the Ordnance Department and the Paymaster of the Army's Office, fie would not make any motion, but content himself with havingproved that there was abundant room for retrenchment. Col MABERLEY said this was an expensive force at all times, and was necessary to be kept up constantly. Independently of'its being necessary that the artilleryman should be both a horse and foot soldier, he was a scientific man, necessarily acquainted with mathematics and mechanism, and constantly practising in the laboratory. As wars were now carried on the honourable member must see the advantage of having such a force always fully trained and disciplined, since a single campaign so constantly terminated a war. As to barracks, would it be politic or just to keep the army always billctted on the people ? and if not, there must be barracks ; and whereas 1350 descriptions of stores were kept formerly, only fifty- eight' were kept at present. Of muskets they sold none, except they were assured of the purpose to which tbey would be applied lest they should be employed, perchance, against this country. The practice was to retain on hand three years' war consumption of powder, or about 100,000 barrels. The quantity made at Waltham was only desirable to keep up the school or laboratory practice of this necessary art. After a few observations from Mr Aglionby against and Ulr Littleton in favour of, the Irish survey, the vote was agreed to. Several votes having been agreed to, £ 39,743 for the extraordinary ordnance works ill Great Britain, Ireland, and the colonies, was proposed. Mr COBBETT said, that of all the roguery and of all the eheatery that ever was committed, there never was any thing which came up to that which took place i: i barrack affairs in the colonies. The timber, the stone, the lime for mortar, were all provided at free cost on the spot, the common soldiers, superintended by their non- commissioned officers, were made to labour in their erection without receiving a sixpence for their pains, and the Government at home were charged £ 1- 1,000 for that labour. ( Cries of " when ? " and — he saw the barracks built, and he, as a non- commissioned officer, superintended the men, whilst an old carpenter planned them, and got up the timber work. Mr STANLEY begged to know when this was ? Mr COBBETT—" Oh, it was long before you were born—( Loud laughter). At least, if it were not, it was many years ago." Mr STANLEY was sorry to hear from the honourable member that he had been concerned in a transaction of so much roguery—( a great laugh)— but as it occurred so many years before he was born, it could not be considered as a very heavy charge against the present Government. ( Cheers.) The fact, however, was, that this item was ta be found in the estimates for the sole purpose of preventing the roguery so much, deplored by the honourable member ( Cheers.) The vote wss agreed to, as were some others. The House resumed. The report was ordered for Monday. The consolidated fund bill, the indemnity bill, and the smuggling act amendment bill, passed. The Exchequer bill went through a committee. Adjourned. SATURDAY, MARCH 22. The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock. Mr SPRING IIICE moved the t h i r d r e a d i n g of the pensions bill, which was accordingly read a third time and passed. Mr SINCLAIR presented a petition for the better observance of the Sabbath, and others from the different parts of Scotland for an alteration in the system of church patronage. Mr MAXWELL presented a petition from the county of Lanark for the establishment of a local board of trade ; also several others to the same effect from various places in Scotland. Mr MURRAY presented a petition from Leith for the abolition of church patronage ; and one from the same borough for a copy of all Parliamentary proceedings to be sent to that borough ; also one from the merchants, & c. of Lsith, against the receipt stamp act. The House then adjourned. Canton Papers to the 15th November, corrobo- succeeded by Major General Sir Amos G. R. Norcott. MONDAY, MARCH 2L The House met at the usual hour this morning. Frivate business occupied tlie House for nearly half an hour. i Mr ABERCROMBY brought up the Edinburgh watching and lighting improvement bill, which was read a first and second time. Mr MAXWELL brought up tbe Lanark road and bridges bill, which was read a first anil second time. The same lion, member also brought in a bill to extend tbe Wishaw railway, and a bill respecting the Crinan Canal, both of which were read a first time. Mr MURHAY brought up the Orkney road bill, which was read a first and second time. The same hon. member also brought up the Leith harbour bill, which was read a first and second time. Mr S. RICE said, in consequence of tbe continued indisposition of his noble friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, be took the opportunity of stating that he should mpye the. order of the day for a committee on the tithes commutation bill, which stood for this evening, be discharged. If his noble friend should be sufficiently recovered, it was bis intention to state the plan of Government on Wednesday evening. ( Hear.) UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE PETITION. Mr SPRING RICE rose to present a petition from the resident Members of the University of Cambridge. The petition piayed tbat the Universities might be opened to all classes of Dissenters. It was consonant with the prayer of petitions which had been presented from different dissenting bodies. It was most gratifying tbat the Members of this learned body should come forwatil and ask to open their doors to the Dissenters. This concession was impoitant, as it partook of all the merit of an amicable adjustment. It came with more force aud grace, because it came voluntarily. The petition was signed by 03 resident Members of the Senate, and many who, from different causes, had not signed it, were known to be favourable to its prayer. He might say that one- half of the Senate had affixed their names, amongst whom were those most eminent for learning and piety. ( Hear, hear.) The petition was most fully entitled to the respectful and attentive consideration of the House. The gentlemen who had signed this petition were men of the highest attainments, as well as of the highest character. The praver commenced by expressing the strongest attachment of the petitioners to the Established Church, and to the maintenance of the character of the University ; and it so happened that one of those petitioners, Professor Sedgwick, had recently written a work, a triumphant defence of the religious and moral institutions of the Established Church, a work abounding in ability, aud it then went on to pray that the Universities might be thrown open to all classes and sects When he saw, as in this instance, that the advoeates for the removal of a grievance were composed of individuals of such high character, such high and sound principles, and such eminent attainments, he did consider that their petition demanded the closest attention of that House. When such men as these told tbe House that they ought not to continue this pressing and oppressive grievance, he thought the period had arrived when something should be done towards the alleviation of a system which excluded the Dissenters from the privileges of the Universities. The right hon. gentleman at great length detailed the history of the University; he pointed out the hardships which the exclusion inflicted on Dissenters, and contrasted the practice in the Dublin University and the Universities in Scotland with tbat of Cambridge. He was not so timid as to apprehend danger to the Established Church. He did not think its doctrines and principles were of so slight a nature that in granting the prayer of the petition a tendency would be created to bring the members of the Church to dissent from i t ; on the contrary, he believed that if the doors of the universities were thrown open, there would be a tendency directly the reverse. He was convinced that the Church was more likely to recommend itself if it were freed from abuse. On grounds of the purest attachment to the Church he strongly recommended the prayer of the petition. The hon. gentleman concluded by requesting hon. gentlemen in their discussion of this subject, to bring their minds to a calm and dispassionate view of it, for sooner'or later tbe question must be set at rest. Air GOULBURN said he was sure that although his right hon. friend had expressed a doubt in the concurrence of that House upon the motion which he had submitted to it, he must have done an injustice to that House in supposing that any petition, signed by 63 most respectable individuals, couchcd in respectful language, would be opposed. He was sure that so far as he ( Mr O.) was concerned, no such idea had entered his imagination. The University of Cambridge, as constituted, does give thc Dissenter every advantage, so far as education was concerned, which was afforded to the members of the Established Church. But whilst it did this, it did not derogate from its rank and dignity. He should ask honourable gentlemen, if the change were to be made, how would they be prepared to shape the course of instruction conformably ? how were all the errors of fanaticism to be avoided ? how all the vagaries of religious scepticism to be guarded against ? Tile petition did not speak the sentiments of the University, and, be hoped, no greater importance would be attached to it than it deserved, in a comparison between the numbers of the petitioners and that of the whole numbers of tbe University. ( Hear, hear.) The SPEAKER suggested, that, as it was almost three o'clock, it would be better to adjourn the discussion. The House then adjourned. rate the accounts pieviously received of the great calamity caused by the incessant rains ; and further add that the floods were not confined to tbe city of Canton, the adjoining provinces of Quang- si and Keang- si having suffered in an equal degree. The maritime city of Chien- Chou, situated on the northeast verge of this province, at the foot of a range of hills, was all but swept away by the sudden burst of water through a ravine; at least 18,000 houses were, it is said, destroyed, and many people drowned. At the Dorchester assizes on Monday last, six agricultural labourers were convicted of a felony in being members of an illegal society, and administering illegal oaths. It appears from the evidence, that Ihe system of many of the Trades Unions had been adopted by these peasants. Their object was to compel their employers to give them a certain rate of wages, and submit to certain rules of their dictation. It would seem also that they were in connexion with other societies of the same description. The oaths were administered with a good deal of mummery; the persons taking them being blinded, and then shown the picture of a skeleton, death's head, & c. The prisoners were sentenced to seven years' transportation. T H E ARMY. The Scots Greys now stationed here, are under orders to march to Edinburgh about the end of this month— it is expected they will be relieved by the Enniskillen Dragoons from Edinburgh. The Artillery stationed here for the last six months have been detached to Tynemouth and Carlisle, and replaced by a troop of the Royal Horse Artillery from Woolwicll. The company of the 19th regiment of Foot, on duty at Tynemouth Castle, will join the depot here, and will be relieved at Tynemouth by one company of the 8tli Regiment, from Sunderland. The depot of the 19th Regiment expect to march about the middle of April, for Carlisle.— Tyne Mercury. It is understood that his Excellency tbe Governor would return to England in the Rhadamanthus steamboat. His Excellency andliislady were in good health1 Ii does not appear that any precise time bad been notified for the departure of his Excellency, but preparations were making for his leaving the Island. The commercial advices received from New York today, are upon the whole, unfavourable. Great excitement existed in regard to the currency of the country, and a want of confidence was still felt that had a paralysing effect on business. The period of relief seemed as far off as ever. There was, however, a considerable revival in the stock market, and some descriptions brought an advance of 1 to 5 per cent. The rate of exchange on France has been at 4f. 65c. for money, and on England at 1 and 2 per cent, discount, from the assumed par of 4 dollars, 44c. to the pound sterling. The rates of freight to Liverpool remained steady, and the packets and two or three transient ships had been readily filled. To Havre, there was very little offered. Until late this afternoon, there was scarcely any business transacted in the Public Securities, and the price of Consols for tbe Account remained extremely steady a t 9 1 | . Very few bargains were made in the course of the day ; and after so many days of inactivity, a greater effect is usually produced upon the prices by comparatively few operations.

The noble j i ^ P " 1 ' " ' Viscount was, however, not so well yesterday. On Saturday the Lord Mayor gave a very elegant entertainment to his Majesty's Ministers, and a select party of friends. At seven o'clock the company sat down to dinner.

Sir Thomas Denman, the Lord Chief Justice, is to be raised to the Peerage, and his title is to be Lord Denman of Dovedale, in the county of Derby. We understand that the strong representation of the Lord Chancellor as to tho expediency, if not the absolute necessity, of his being assisted in the House of Peers by a Law Lord, whose principles are in accordance with those of bis Majesty's Government, have led to the elevation of Sir Thomas Denman to the Peerage, The King's consent to the elevation of the learned Judge was obtained, we hear, on Thnrstlay last, and the usual ratification will probably appear in next Tuesday's Gazette.— Sunday Observer. THURSDAY, MARCH 27. The German papers contain an address from the Chamber of Deputies to the King of the Netherlands, deprecating the spirit of disorder which has appeared in different parts of the kingdom, and disclaiming all schemes which have in view the overthrow of existing institutions. The Emperor of Austria has recovered from his late indisposition. Jamaica papers, which have been received to the 2d February, mention that the colony is tranquil. The meeting of tbe Legislature was farther prorogued to the 11th February. New York papers to the 1st instant bring accounts from Canada of discontents in tbat province. The malcontents had gone so far as to propose articles of impeachment against the Governor- General, Lord Aylmer, which, strange to say, were adopted by the Assembly of the States. We subjoin an extract :— " The Quebec Mercury of the 20th instant states that the general impression entertained was that the strange story of declamatory bombast submitted to the Assembly, under the title of resolutions, would pass by large majorities; and a subsequent paragraph of thc same paper confirms that anticipation by referring to a vote taken on an amendment proposed by Mr Nelson to moderate their fervour, and which was negatived by the large majority of fifty- two to nineteen. Twentythree of the resolutions bad been adopted on the preceding evening in a_ committee on tbe whole." These papers contain statements of continued and increasing commercial embarrassments. These proceed from the same causes which produce embarrassments in other countries, namely, an easy state of credit, which occasions over- trading and ruinous speculations, in which the capital lent, by which they are carried on, is ultimately lost. A general outcry has been raised against the President, who, however, defies t h e public clamour, and steadily pursues his own measures. He is supported by a strong party ; and those who oppose him and clamour against his measures, as the cause of the general distress, forget their own rash speculations, and ascribe to him the evils which might more properly l e traced to their own imprudence. | From the French papers we learn that the Asso- ; ciations bill had been carried in the Chamber of Several amendments were proposed, but they were lost. The debates were, as usual, extremely personal. Ministers were accused of refusing to protect the commetee of the country against the machinations of the Trades' Unions by the Mayor of Lyons, who gave a deplorable account of the depressed slate of trade in that city and in the south of France. P R I V A T E CORRESPONDENCE. Royal Exchange, London, Monday Night. In consequence of the extreme boisterous state of the weather to- day, there has not arrived up to the present hour, any express from the French capital; we are | therefore without any news from that quarter. Late accounts have been obtained from Jamaica today, which are of a very satisfactory nature. The crops were very promising and tbe negroes are represented as being very contented and happy, nor did it appear likely tbat the plan of Government for the abolition of slavery would produce any of those disasterous consequences which appear to have been apprehended by the colonists. The schooner Nimble, Lieutenant Bolton, hail reached Port Royal, having captured two slavejships and 814 slaves, which were on board. Sir Willoughby Cotton had resigned tlu command of the forces in the Island, and was to be House of Lords,, March 24. On the motion of Viscount STIIANGFORD, tile smuggling act amendments bill was ordered to be printed. Several petitions were presented from Dissenters, praying relief. Tbe Duke of HAMILTON presented petitions from the weavers and inhabitants of Lanark and Fife complaining of distress, and praying for relief. Also a petition from Dundonald, in tiie county of Ayr, against the present system of Church patronage. The noble Duke then presented a petition from the members of the medical profession in Aberdeen, praying for an inquiry into tbe laws which regulated the medical profession. The noble Duke said that he hoped ere long to. see one national enactment, which would embrace every branch of the medical profession, and 1 give each of those different branches a right unencumbered by thc bye- laws of various corporations, tbat enacted to themselves rights for their own personal advantage, and injury to the public at large. SCOTCH ENTAILS. The Earl of ROSEBERY, pursuant to notice, laid upon the table tivo bills to alter aud amend the law of entail in Scotland. At tbat time be would not enter further into tbe subject than to give a very short history of the law as it at present stood, and then state to tbe House the principal provisions of the bills be then presented. At present, in Scotland, a person possessing territoiial property might entail it to an unlimited series of heirs, and without regard to the quantity of property so tied up. Since tbe year 1685, when the law was passed, up to the present period, an immense mass of property had been so tied up or entailed almost to perpetuity, and the parties in possession were even debarred from granting improving leases, under a penalty of forfeiture. The bills he had to present were to obriate some of those difficulties. The first bill provided the regulations under which future entails might be made, viz., from the lives of the parties in being at the time of executing the deed, and for 2t years after, thereby following the plan in existence at present in England, which had undergone the test of experience, and bad been found to work well. The second biil was to regulate the entails that at present existed, and provided measures for the relief of those parties now in possession, by giving them tbe power of making leases where the improvement was to be bona fide considered in the rent. It also gave him the power to feu, as it was called in Scotland, which was granting leases in perpetuity. He trusted the bills would receive the attention of the noble and learned Lord on the woolsack, as well as the other learned Lords in the House, in order to make tha measure as perfect as possible. T h e LORD CHANCELLOR said the subject was undoubtedly one of very great importance, and he could assure the noble Lords that he would give the bills every attention in his power. He thought the law of entail in England was nearly perfect, anil so far as possible the Scotch law should be assimilated. Probably the bills might be better considered in a committee up stairs. Lord WYNFORD considered the rule of law with respect to entails in this country most excellent, but whether the people of Scotland would approve of that rule was another question. The Duke of HAMILTON ilepiecated the assimilation of the law of entail in Scotland with that of England. When the bill came, in a further stage before their Lordships, he should consider himself called upon to uphold the rights of those who derived their titles under the present law of entail in Scotland. The Earl of RostnEitY, in reply, stated that should he be successful in moving tbe second reading of the bill, it was his intention, agreeable to the suggestion of his noble friend on the Woolsack, to propose that the bill should be referred to a select committee. He begged also further to state to their Lordships that he had taken measures the moment the bill was printed for circulating it in every county of Scotland. The bill was then read a first time and ordered to be printed, and their Lordships adjourned at a quarter past six o'clock. House of Commons, March 24. The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes past five. Mr H. Ross brought up the report of the committee on the Leith and Edinburgh harbour. Sir R. PEEL said he had the honour to present a petition which had been committed to him by the High Sheriff and Grand Jury of the county of Stafford, complaining of the extreme depression of tbe agricultural interests.—( Hear, hear.) Subscribed to the pe. tition were the names of several gentlemen intimately connected with manufactures.— Laid on the table. Mr LITTLETON begged permission to say that there was not a single sentence in the petition to which he did not heartily subscribe. DEAN OF DOWN. Mr LITTLETON brought up a memorial from- the Rev. Thomas Plunket, Dean of Down. In the discussion that took place on the appointment of tlie Dean of Down some days ago, the inference to be drawn from the speech of the right honourable Baronet ( Sir R. Peel) was, that Lord Plunket, after in common with the other commissions recommended thc separation of eight parishes from the Dean of Down, and immediately after solicited the appointment for bis son, with all the parishes annexed. Lord Grey had since informed him ( Mr Littleton), that the appointment was made without any solicitation on the part of Lord Plunket, and he had received a letter from Lord Plunket, in which lie made the same declaration. When Lord Plunket was reminded of thejrecommendation of the commissioners, he instantly desired that tbe Deanery should be treated as vacant, and he has over- and over again called upon the commissioners to make farther inquiry into the appointment, and the Privy Council are to take it into consideration on the 18th of next month. The right honourable gentleman read a letter from Lord Plunket, declaring that he had never solicited the appointment of tbe Deanery of Down for his son, but that Earl Grey sent for him, and proposed giving it to his son, which lie gratefully accepted, but had no recollection of the arrangement proposed by the commissioners. This was the clear impression on bis mind. Air COBBETT said tbe impression on his mind was very different. ( Hear, and a laugh.) Mr GOUI. BURN said the right hon. gentleman stated that Lord Plunket, who was appointed a commissioner to advise the Crown and Parliament, had signed tha report without any knowledge of its contents. ( Hear, hear, hear.) Major BEAUCLERK said one of the parishes was his property, and the minister of it was one of the best and one of the most ill used men in the world. ( Hear, hear.) Mr ROBINSON thought tbe statement, that Lord Plunket had signed the report without kuowing its contents, did not mend Lord Plunket's case. ( Hear, hear.) Mr STANLEY said, Lord Plunket, when be signed the report, only affirmed its general principles, but not all its details, of mauy of which he was ignorant. Mr RUTIIVEN thought it was the duty of the Prime Minister, before lie gave the Deanery away, to have informed himself of the recommendation of tbe commissioners. The memorial was ordered to lie on the table. Mr STANLEY moved that the report of the Committee of Supply be brought up. A member asked if it was the intention of Government to prepare any measure to remedy the defective registration clauses in the reform act ? L o r d JOHN RUSSELL said it was his i n t e n t i o n to bring in such a bill after Easter. Sir S. WHALLEY asked whether Government would move tbe second reading of the house tax repeal bill before Easter ? No answer was given to this question. SCOTCH PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. House of Lords, March 21. The following petitions were presented. Scott ti. Johnston— Petition of the respondent to dismiss the appeal with costs. Same v.

An eloquent and most appropriate sermon was preached in South Leith Church on Sabbath evening, by the Rev. Dr Gordon, when a collection was made in aid of the funds of tile EJinburgh Magdalene Asylum. THEATRE— We are glad to observe that tbe exertions of Mr Murray to please the public by variety and novelty have been attended with success. The ludicrous after- piece of " My Wife's Mother" has been received night after night with loud applause. The magnificent spectacle of " Beauty and the Beast" continues to draw houses, and to please by its continued attractions of humour, extravagance, and splendid scenery. We observe that Mr Balls is to have his benefit on Saturday night, when we hope that the public will do justice to his merits. He is a clever and judicious actor, and to scenes of genteel comedy he imparts uncommon spirit and grace. His performance of the difficult character of Alercutio is one of bis best efforts, which evinces taste, discrimination, and a power of lively delineation that does uot belong to the common run of performers. Ho is a great addition to our corps dramatique, and merits every encouragement. F I R E , AND MELANCHOLY L o s s OF L I F E— Monday afternoon, about four o'clock, the inhabitants in the Canongate were thrown into great alarm by the cries of fire proceeding from the house of Luke O'Neil, manufacturer of fire works. It appears that his wife, and a servant gill of the name of Jane March, while employed in drying some saltpetre before the fire, it became ignited, and the flames communicating with their clothes, the miserable victims becoming insensible through pain and terror, ran to the window as the only means of giving alarm, and throwing it up, the draught of air had the effect of increasing the fire. Some of the neighbours hearing their cries, rushed in at the door, and got them conveyed out of the house. One person in the neighbourhood, apprehensive that the fire might preclude their escape, placed a mattress under the window, should they have found it necessary to leap over. Unfortunately tliey were so dreadfully scorched, that, although immediately taken lo the Infirmary, tbey only survived a very short time. Some of t h e furniture aud part of tbe house was destroyed. Monday fnorning, between four and five o'clock, a house in the Castlehill was discovered to be on fire, but some of the firemen being called, succeeded in checking it. It had been occasioned by the hearthstone heating and communicating with the joisting below, which ignited in consequence. In consequence of the peaceful state of matters in the west, the 300 men of the 63ill light infantry, who have been stationed in Glasgow for these few weeks past, under the command of Lord W. Poulett, left that city on Friday evening, by the Canal Passage boats, and rejoined the regiment in the Castle on Saturday. On Monday forenoon, while William Wilkie, an old man, was in the act of pulling down the walls of an old house on the farm of Burdiehouse, in the parish of Libberton, for the purpose of making drains, the wall fell on him, which caused his death in about an hour after. The body of the post lad, who was drowned some weeks ago, near to Portobello, was found on Tuesday morning very near to tho place where it was alleged he had entered the water; hut from tl e length of time elapsed, tbe face was entirely destroyed, and lie could only be recognised by his clothing. The body was humanely conveyed in a cart by the directions of Mr Wm. Mackie, merchant, and was on Tuesday inteired in the new burying ground of St Mark's Chapel.

The ordinary meeting of Council was held on Tuesday, tbe Lord Provost in the chair. A memorial from the Session of the Tolbooth Church was read, which set forth the high rents of the scats in that church, by which the parishioners werer virtually excluded, tbe majority of whom were poor people, and many of whom had adduced the circumstance of the high seat- rents as a reason for neglecting altogether the ordinances of religion. The memorialists urged that tbe rates of prices might be suited to the circumstances of the parish and neighbourhood. Mr M'LAREN said, that the committee on that subject had agreed to make considerable reduction, but tbey had delayed giving in their repoit until they should have gone through the other churches. Mr PURVES brought under tbe notice of the Council the heads of a bill which he bad prepared for abolishing the annuity tax, the merk per ton, the collegiate charges, and the privileges of the College of Justice, and for obviating the difficulties which those arrange, ments occasioned. After being read by the clerk, it was remitted to a committee. Mr AYTOUN then proceeded to bring forward the motion of which he had formerly given notice, respecting the propriety of taking thc advice of counsel as to whether the members of the late Town Council could not be made individually responsible for that portion of Dr Bell's legacy which was invested in the ale duty. The learned gentleman then proceeded to state the grounds for legal inquiry, and concluded by making his motion. Bailie DONALDSON proposed an amendment, to the effect tbat a committee be appointed to inquire and report. A long discussion ensued, during which Mr Aytoun adopted a rider to his motion, to the effect that tbe question be remitted to the Law Committee, to make out a case against the former Council, with powers to take tbe necessary steps Upon the vote being taken, there appeared to be 16 for tbe motion, and 13 for tbe amendment. Mr AYTOUN next proceeded to bring forward his motion for placing the appointment of a successor to tbe late Dr Inglis in the Old Greyfriars Church in tile hands of all those who paid annuity tax within the parish. Mr CRAIG moved the previous question, and after a short discussion Air Aytoun's motion was lost by 23 to 3. , AIr CROOKS then moyed, that in order to assist the Council in fixing on persons from whom to make a selection for supplying the vacancy in the Old Greyfriars Church, it is advisable to appoint a small Committee to look out for fit and proper persons, and to report. After a short discussion the motion was agreed to, and the following Committee elected by ballot— Bailie Donaldson, Dean of Guild Alacfie, and Alessrs Alacaulay and Tennent. Tbe Lord Provost was added as convener. The Council separated at a quarter before six o'clock. TOWN COUNCIL. Among the other reforms that are in progress by tbe Town Council, it is mentioned that an annual saving of nearly £ 2000 will be made, partly by the reduction of salaries, and partly by the abolition of offices considered useless. It is said to be in contemplation to reduce the salary ofthe Chamberlain from £ 1100 to £ 400, and to increase the duty, by joining with it the collection of the cess— also to reduce that of the superintenden of works from £ 500 to £ 300. Tbe precentors of the city churches are to lose £ 20 of tbe £ 40 or £ 50, wlrioh they receive. The ringer of the music bells is to be dismissed; also the mace and sword bearers— and tbe housekeeper oftheCouncil Chamber is to bereduced from £ 60 to £ 43; and her two assistants are to be dispensed with. That economy in the management o f t h e public business ought to be at all times studied, and that, in the present state of the town's affairs, it is especially called for, few will be disposed to deny. We give all credit, therefore, to the present Council for thc motives by which they are actuated in these retrenchments. Still, without at all vindicating profusion, we would respectfully suggest, whether in making retrenchments, some regard should not be had to the existing interests of individuals by whom tbe offices, especially the lower offices, are held, who have long been accustomed to receive the salaries— who have no other dependence for their living— and who have formed their whole plan of life on the faith o f their offices and their pay being permanent. It will, we should imagine, be admitted by every candid re. former, that in, this case we have a different question to consider than if we were beginning, de novo, to frame a new establishment. In this latter case, though we consider it for the interest of the public to deal liberally with its servants, yet we are at full liberty to make any engagements that may be thought expedient, because we disappoint no one. But where every thing has bden long fixed, even though rather profusely, we cannot economize so rigidly without inflicting sovere distress on individuals who have beeu guilty of no fault— who have been takon from their former way of life on the faith of a permanent settlement, who have become dependants on their offices for their living, and who may be and often ate entirely disqualified from following any other pursuit. These are considerations which ought to soften the rigour of economical reform, nnd which plead strongly against sudden and sweeping changes. If a salary were too large, we would reduce it gradually ; and we would thus give time for arrangements,, that the hardship might be lessened as much as possible. To take away at once one- lialf of the Chamberlain's salary, even though it may have been originally too great, is a sweeping measure— of small benefit to the public, compared with the great hardship to the individual. A gtadual redaction would here have been quite consistent with the most approved principles of economical reform. With respect to the other savings mentioned, they arc insignificant with regard to the public, but extremely distressing to the Unfortunate individuals concerned. The ringer of the music bells recoivesj we hear, a salary of £ 50 a- year ; the loss of which will greatly distress him, and besides, the ringing of these bells gratifies many citizens. It is a relic of ancient manners, which brings to thair minds the simple habits of their forefathers, who shut their shops to go to dinner at one o'clock; and were serenaded all the while with - this delightful music. It would also certainly bi hard to discharge the mace and the sword bearers without any provision. This would be turning them out to destitution ; and, besides, is it politic thus to strip the magistracy of the pomp and parade of office— of all those outward symbols of dignity by which legal authority has been in all ages distinguished ? Lastly, the house- keeper, who has been aecastomeil to depend on this employment for her bread, even if she were overpaid, wa would not screw down to the lowest rate. The public do not expect such rigid economy even from a reforming Council. Their compassion is interested for the unfortunate persons turned oat of bread; and they would by no means grudga though economy were lo move on at a slower pace. As we have already said, we have no doubt that those proceedings originate from laudable motives. But there are in all cases two extremes, between which it is wise to steer a middle course. UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH.— CLASS OF CONVEYANCING.— Tlio Prize given by Professor Napier for merit displayed in the Examinations and E x e r - cises of the Class, has been awarded, in pursuance of a unanimous vote, to Mr John ShirrefF, son of the late reverend Wiliiam Shirreff, formerly of St Ntnian's, afterwards of Glasgow. EMANCIPATION OF THE J E W S . — A m e e t i n g on this subject is, we observe, to he held on Thursday next, under the sanction of the Lord Provost. The steam carriage which has been preparing in Mr Learmoiitb's coach- yard for some months past, plyed on Prince's Street on Tuesday for some hours. Tha engine is in tbe boot; it makes a considerable noise, and clouds of smoke issued from it ; bir. it ptoduced less effect on horses passing it than could have been expected, though some were a good deal frightened. The coach made several lurns, and seemed to move at from six to eight miles an hou-. AIEETING OF FENCF. ns.— On Saturday tbe annual meeting of Air Roland's pupils took place in the Assembly Rooms, in presence of a numerous and fashionable audience. The various exercises in quarte and tierce, were executed with great precision and neatness, by eleves in different stages of advancement. Several of the assaults were maintained in a very skilful nnil spirited manner— and tbe whole exhibition afforded very general gratification and amusement. The prizes to the successful combatants were awarded by Lord Robert Ker, Professor Wilson, and the Rev. Air Williams, who severally addressed tbe audience— pointing out, among other topics, the utility of fencing, as a branch of education, and bestowing unqualified praise on Air Roland for his efficiency as a teacher of this elegant art. The band o f t h e 68th regiment attended, and played some choice pieces of music during the intervals of the exhibition. The Gaz " t e of Friday contains an order in Counc i suspending tho ca'ling out or train'ng of the mi. lit; a for this year. PRESBYTERY OF EDINBURGH. The ordinary monthly meeting of this Presbytery Was held yesterday. The committee to whom was referred, by last meeting, a petition from certain heritors of the parish of North Leith, in regard to the collection of a volun tary assessment which had been agreed to at various times by the heritors, for the purpose of building the new church, reported that the heritors were entitled to appoint a collector, and recommended to the Presbytery to sanction the appointment they had made in the person of Mr R. Archer, solicitor in Leith— Agreed to. DECLARATION IN FAVOUR OF TIIE CHURCH ESTABLISHMENT.— Mr Wardlaw Ramsay, who was accompanied by Mr J . G. Kinnear arid Mr James Howden, said they were appointed as a deputation on the part of a numerous and respectable portion o f t he inhabitants of Edinburgh, attached to the Church of Scotland, to present this declaration to the Presbytery. Mr R. said it was signed by a number of annuity payers, by many members of the College of Justice, and by many Seccders from the Church— and by individuals of all ranks and classes in society. It might, therefore, be considered as a declaration on the part of men who felt the importance and value of the Established Church, and they hoped it would meet with a favourable reception from the Presbytery. Mr Ramsay then read the declaration, which was recently published in all the newspapers, in reference chiefly to tile expressed resolution of the Town Council to reduce the number of ministers in Edinburgh to 13. The document was signed by 4243 individuals. Dr DICKSON said, that this declaration, from the number and respectability of the signatures attached to it, could not but be very gratifying to the Presbytery. It was particularly gratifying in these times to find such a number of individuals who, instead of looking with suspicion 011 tbe Establishment, had expressed their determination to maintain . it, and to do nil in their power to extend its means of usefulness—. It was gratifying to find them taking that Christian view of'the subject which ought to be taken by every one who valued the Church Establishments of the country. The declaration was gratifying, as expressing an opinion of the soundness of the Presbytery's decision, 011 the important point of maintaining tlie present number of ministers in the city, for the benefit of its great population. This paper, they were told, was subscribed by individuals in the higher, the middling, and the lower classcs of society— by many in communion with, the Cliurch of Scotland, but also by not a few, who, though seceders, were not dissenters from its doctrines, and Who were as convinced of the Christianity and utility of a national Church establishment, as if they be. longed to the Church themselves. This showed that though much noise had been made by certain parties in pulpits and on'platforms, against tbe Establishment, they had not been able even to carry their own people along with them. They owed particular gratitude to those gentlemen for not only coming . forward to put them in possession of what they had done, but for the admirable object they had in view. Mr W. PAWL said, that had the usual means been taken, the. number of signatures to the declaration might have been doubled. The whole of the signatures adhibited were Obtained in the course of eight days. ' Dr GRANT moved, that the declaration should be recorded 111 the minutes, and that the thanks of the Presbytery be given to the gentlemen who signed it, through the medium of their deputation. The MODERATOR accordingly addressed the deputation, and returned the thanks of the Presbytery, adding, that their good opinion and support would onlv stimulate the ministers to greater exertions, in devoting their whole time and talents to the discharge of their important duties. MEMRERS OF ASSEMBLY.— The Presbytery then proceeded to elect, their representatives to tbe ensuing General Assembly, when the following ministers were unanimously appointed, namely— Sir Grant, Dr Ritchie, Mr Wilk'ie, Mr Thomson ( Dudilingstone), Mr Grey, and Dr Gilchrist. Dr GRANT then moved, that the following elders be appointed, namely, the Lord President, Mr Craufurd of Cartsburn, and Bailie Sawers. Dr MUIRIIEAD proposed Mr George Ross, advocate, Mr Archibald Anderson, and Mr William Paul. Mr IIAF. ( elder) asked, if the gentlemen, named in the two lists, were members of presbytery, as representatives there of kirk sessions ? The CLERK said, only two of them were so circumstanced, namely,' Mr Ctaufurd and Mr Paul. Oil a vote being taken, 17 voted for the first list, and 15 for the second list entire. Eleven voted for individuals from each fist, and, on counting the votes, it was announced, that Mr Ross, Bailie Sawers, and Mr Paul were elected. As far as we could collect the votes, it appeared, that Mr Paul had 2( 1 votes, Bailie Sawers 23, and Mr Ross 22. Cnuncii PATRONAGE— A committee was appointed to assist the Clerk in fulfilling an order from the Parliamentary Committee on this subject, for a statement of any overtures transmitted by the Presbytery to the General Assembly, respecting the appointment of ministers, from ihe earliest period to which the records of Presbytery extend. The order was signed by Mr George Sinclair, as Chairman of the Committee. » Mr BAI. FOUIL( elder) said, that a notice stood for this day ol a motion to be made by him on the subject of Church Patronage; but at the particular request of a member of Presbytery, he begged to delay it farther till their next meeting, on the understanding that It would then take precedence of all other business. ST CUTIIBERT'S PARISH Mr Clason laid before the Presbytery another memorial from the ministers of Chapels of Ease in this parish, stating that since their former memorial was presented, they bad learned that it was no longer a matter of doubt that three- fourths of the population of the parish would soon become inhabitants of tlie burgh— that this change would still leave about lfWtt souls in the country part of theparish, while it would add ( i!), 0U0 to the citizens of Edinburgh. In these circumstances, the memoralists did not doubt that the Presbytery would shoiV as much zeal in providing this great number with spiritual ministrations, as they had recently done to provide for the present population of the City. Remitted to the former Committee, witii power to confer with the Burgh Commission and other bodies interested, and to take such steps as they may see necessary. Mr CUNKINGJIAME gave notice that at next meeting he would move that the Ptesbytery take steps for immediately raising ministers of chapels of ease to the rank and privileges of parish ministers. INDIAN MISSIONS O11 t h e motion of Dr B r u n t o n, a collection in aid 6f the funds of the General Assembly's foreign missions, was authorised to be made in the churches and chapels within the Presbytery on tbe second Sabbath of April, or on as early a day thereafter as the different sessions might finp. it convenient to direct. IloxnUttiPH PLACE CiiAPEL. T- tMr Tod, W. S., stated from the managers and elders pf this chapel, that fhe following getitleni. ju had been nominated as candidates for supplying the place o f t h e late Mr Johnston, namely, Mr James Fowler of Aberdeen, Mr 1!. S. Candlish, and Mr James Porteous, late of Prestonpans. The Presbytery then adjourned till the last Wednesday of April. At the rising of the Presbytery a meeting was held of the Assembly's Committee on Indian Missions, Dr Dickson in the cliair, when Dr Brnnton was appointed Convener of the Committee, aud Dr Goidon and Mr Harry Inglis, joint. treasurers., Mr Hunter and Mr Bruce were appointed members of the Sub- Committee.

Having this ( lay Examined the Parish School of Ratho, conducted by Mr GOURLAY, we have much pleasure in bearing our testimony to his superior attainments as a scholar, and his efficiency as a teacher, in the various departments of parochial instruction.— We deem it unnecessary to specify any tiling as mere remarkable than another in a school where every branch is taught so much to our satisfaction. The system pursued by Mr Gourlay is throughout an intellectual system, tending to the free and perfect development of the mental powers. As the public guardians of education in our parishes, we should be wanting in a sense of its importance, and the advantages 40 be derived Irom it, did we liot thus publicly express our satisfaction with the results of Mr Gourlay s talents and industry, as displayed in the school under his superintendence.

ARBROATH.— The Presbytery for the last eight days have been, and wo believe are still, employed in an investigation into certain reports respecting the conduct of the Reverend J . Macfurlane, minister of the Abbey Chapel, of a very- gross and revolting description. 1 ' PEEBLES— We have much pleasure in stating, that a Mechanics' Institution has existed in this town for the two last years, which has been numerously attended, by all classes, and bas succeeded beyond the most sanguine anticipations of its originators. It is a fact exceedingly gratifying, that 110 sooner was t h e intention of forming such an institution generally known, than several philanthropic gentlemen connected with the county came forward with handsome donations fur its support. After the conclusion of the valedictory lecture on Friday evening last, upwards of forty of the members, together with their meritorious lecturer, Mr Ferrier, who had been invited to attend, met in the Cross Keys Inn ( Mrs Hope's), John Walsh, Esq. vice- president, in the chair, Where they partook of an excellent slipper, and spent the evening with the greatest hilarity. Among the many toasls given, the healths o f t h e benefactdrs of the institution, prefaced by neat and appropriate speeches, were not forgotten, STATE OF CRIME IN EAST LOTIIIAN. The official Police returns have been printed for the year 1833, by the newly appointed Superintendent, from which it appears, the total number of convictions have been two hundred and sixteen, viz. one hundred and ninety- one males and twenty- five females. The analysis ofthe return shows, that nine have been convicted by the Iligh Court of Justiciary, ten by the Sheriff with a jury; twcnty. seven summarily by the Sheriff; one hundred and seven by the monthly Justice of Peace Coutts; twenty- one summarily by the J u s t i c s ; seventeen by the Provost and Blagistrates of Haddington, and twenty- five by the Provost and Blagistratcs of Dunbar. Blr List ( the Superintendent of Police) appears to have given a very clear return, Slid it is due to him to state, that lie has introduced a very efficient system of Police in the county, and that an annual return will be of some importance to the whole of the residenters.

The anniversary dinner of this Club was held on Saturday last in the Waterloo Hotel— Professor Wilson in the chair. After the usual loyal toasts had been drank, The CHAIRMAN said, that in rising to propose the first toast in connexion with the line arts— Prosperity to St Luke's Club— it was impossible to refrain from expressing his regret, in which he knew he would be joined by all who beard him, at the unavoidable absence of that distinguished man whom they had hoped on that evening to fill the chair— a man who had never disappointed the highest hopes which any company might form of the eloquence that dropped from his lips, and the inspiration of his generous sentiments — expressive at once of the emotions of sensibility and tbe thoughts of genius. He ( Professor Wilson) knew that du. ring the evening many words would be uttered in his praise, and that the pervading sentiment of the company would be admiration and respect for his character and imagination ; they would be able to figure among them his keen expressive eye— his noble forehead— and to bring into their ears the . tones of his silver voice, which carried persuasion to the hearts of his auditory at all times ; and while it was intelligible to the simplest understanding, was instiuctive to a mind of the highest order. ( Applause.) But he could not yield cveii to that distinguished man in affection and regard to Scottish artists individually, or in love to that noble art which they so successfully cultivated,— ( Cheers.) He trusted tliey would make allowance for bis defects, having been called upon so suddenly to occupy that chair which had been appropriated for him whose merits would be rendered the more conspicuous from his absence. He had taken tbe chair with a mixed feeling of pride and humility ; but he was entitled to be there by a companionship in feeling and genius, held together by the fine but strong links of kindred and elevated thoughts. ( Cheers.) This Club bad originated not only' in a feeling of zeal and enthusiasm for the fine arts, but in friendly and brotherly feelings, in order tbat their own spirit and character might thus be best preserved and elevated.— I t lias frequently been said, and with truth, that painters, poets, men of science, and all those whose minds ore devoted to the cultivation of the fine arts, are susceptible of the feelings of jealousy. And why should it not be so ? Should these feelings be natural to the men who are immersed in this world's business, to the statesman who is engaged in a perpetual struggle to overcome his rivals ; and should we not believe that these feelings belong to those who range through the realms of genius, and appeal to the waim but ever varying sensibilities and susceptibilities of mankind? ( Cheers.) It was a mistake to suppose that artists only felt the appeatences of external nature, for the expressions cf friendship and generosity— every noble sentiment, gave vigour and freshness to the springs of genius; andwitli these feelings this Society had been foimed, and he w as convinced these feelings would render it permanent, and as far as earthly, tilings could be, immortal. ( Cheers.) He believed one danger to men of sentiment and genius proceeded from their fine perceptions— fiom their liability to live too much alone— in m their aptitude to indulge in reveries and drtEms, and to cherish beautiful visions and fancied scenes cf happiness. It was, therefore, better for them to meet* frequently, in order to shew that earth has belter beings even than the beautiful creations of the imagination herself, that nothing elevates genius so much as the warm stirrings of the heart, and that, in the brothtrly warmth of the rffections, they may chance to give more beautiful touches with the pencil, and to express more happily the charms of external nature, or of " the human face divine," either in the delineating of niral life, or the more energetic occupations of historical srer. ie. He Should, therefore, propose prosperity to the St Luke's Club of Scottish Anists— prosperity to a society cf men who were determined to excel in their art— who " Scorn delights, and live laborious days"— who make even their hems of idleness instrumental in filling their minds with beautiful images ; and who, in their wanderings through the scenery of their native land, never lose an hour, whether surveying the poor man's cot at the foot of the hill— whether wandering through the thick wood, or tracing the meanders of a murmuring stream, are still engaged in laying up rich materials for the triumphant creations of their ait. ( Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN cgain rose anil said, if, in rising to propose the last toast, he felt deeply the absence of that distinguished person who was to have occupied his place, he felt it n. uih mere deeply when he had occasion 10 mention the name of the Scottish Academy. Certainly, this toast must be proposed and drank in a kindred spirit wilh the last, for the two institutions were almost the same, and thiy were connected with the cultivation of the n. ost dignified and important powers of the human mind, which seme perhaps might rather overlook and neglect in the rapid career of society, not only in improvement, but ill wealth ; they weie apt to fancy that imagination, the iinei and higher susceptibilities of our nature, belonged 1,0 the regions of evanescence ar. d unsubstantiahty, and were not easily reduced under the category of utility. But he believed that the ornament and highest beauty of national character consisted in the perfection of cieative energy and power, and that that country must ever feel seme want in her national character, how intrepid soever site may be, unless her genius points not to the earth, but ascends to heaven, partaking of ti. e divine character to which it aspires, and having no communion with the noisy world, for that is the shadow and this the substance. Far be it from him to say that this was r. ot an age of advancing intellect, lie was proud, and not only proud, but happy that Providence had placed him in this bright era of the world. But while there were parts of knowledge which were cultivated with a glory unknown to former ages, it was deficient in the feeling which belonged to the idolatruus worship of creative genius of other times, when every thing was fresh and dewy in the mottling of invention. He had heard it said that our skies were not like the skies of Greece and Italy, and ptrliaps they were not; but was he to be told that the perennial calm and quiet of those climes were more in- ; spiring to genius than our own ever varying clime, 1 which could show a sun- rising of as much beauty and : glory as any Oriental sky, and in a few hours presented tne mountain tops covered with a thin transparent j mist, which the sun still illuminated with his beanm, and in a few other houis would exhibit those mountains in all the wililness of a desert, covered with pitchy cleuds in all the blackness of darkness— ( Cheers). These were advantages on which he had slightly touched, but which he doubted if the artists of any other country possessed; while Turner, Thomson, and Nasuijth had gained tl'. cir country's honour, because they w; ero inspired v. ith a genuine feeling of . love for their country's scenery. After an eloquent description cf H ighland sceinry, in which he traced the couise of a rill passing lirst a cottage, then a hamlet, until widening arid increasing in its progress, it flowed into the sea beside some town with embattled towers, and in the course of which he paid a high cointhat we now possessed the finest specimens of an even art, and he did not see how any one could hope to improve the native taste, by importing the inferior works of my school whatever ( Cheers.)— There was no doubt much to be learned from old pictures; but he would appeal to the company whether the most— the best of these advantages did not belong to the mechanism of the a r t; while every thing else— all that can elevate the mind and touch the feelings were to be learned in the school of nature. This was the school where the painter must study if he wished to be successful— it extended to the moral, as well as to the beauties of the natural world ; and this dignified his art— it raised the painter to a level with the poet and the moralistit awoke the most varied emotions with regard to the frowns, the smiles, ancl the tears of nature; and he could not help thinking if they were to divest their minds of all antiquarian feelings, if they looked at the exhibitions of London and Edinburgh they would find there works which would do honour to any school. No cne could look at the works of Mr Allan — his Death of Rizzio, or his Polish Exiles, which he ( Mr K.) had had the pleasure of seeing, without feeling the full mora! force of painting, while the mechanical parts were such as would not disgrace the highest productions of the Dutch or Flemish school. He knew his friend Mr Allan would not misunderstand him— he did not consider him as a mere painter of still life; but its presence as an accessary was a proof St once of genius and good taste, and proved to the lovers of the fine aits that the best and safest course for them to follow was 10 encourage living artists. He should therefore propose encouragement to the artists ot Britain.—( Great cheering.) Mr NASMYIII returned thanks in a short speech, and exjuessed his concurrence with Mr Kinnear ill respect to the advantages to be derived from ancient art, and with Professor Wilson, as to the advantages Scotland possessed for studying external nature. Mr J . F. WILLIAMS— I am now to endeavour to associate the Fine Arts with a body v ho have hitherto been as strangers to them. 1 mean tbe municipal rulers of ibis fair city. It will be in the recollection of those who have interested themselves in the history of the arts, that they have not owed its prosperity to the aristocracy alone. When Venice sat " enthroned on her hundred Isles," arose the imperishable names of Paul Veronese, Tinterot, and Titian, and if we look to the Low Countiicsj Holland and Flanders, we find tbat independent of ihe great works of art which adorn their churches, many of the best pictures are to be found in the possession of the Dutch and Belgian merchants, nay the great master ( I may say the colossus) of light and shadotv, I mean Rembrandt, who according to Fuseii, " entered the Temple of Fame and took liis seat there for ever," owed his earliest. patronage to a Burgomaster. Iam happy to see that a similar feeling is partially extending over our native island, and that independent of the nietiopolis, the towns of Leeds, Liverpool, and Manchester, are yearly making efforts for encouraging native talent; tbe town of Leeds ill particular has long been a market for the works of Scottish artists, which have remained unsold in the Edinburgh exhibitions. This 1 think will be corroborated by many of my brother artists who surround this table; and in Manchester when the present magnificent exhibition rooms were suggested, the large sum of thirty- six thousand pounds was subscribed in one day. The Incorporation of Liverpool give annually a piize of fifty pounds for the ablest production in historical painting, and I am proud to say that tbat prize was awarded to my friend Mr Robert Lauder, a member ofthe Scottish Academy, who is now prosecuting his profession ill Italy, while competing with the artists of England and Ireland. That such a spirit of patronage exists in those places which contain so great a proportion of the wealth of the country, must be gratifying to artists and all who wish ihe advancement of the art. Every gentleman present must be av are of the kind and friendly qua throughout the civilised world, I mean our illustrious PAISLEY ELECTION.— Monday, a little after 12 countiyman, David Wilkie. As a painter he has no noon, Sir D. K.

It would be presumption in me to point out ; even a small portion of the numerous requisites by which Mr Wilkie's pictures are so justly celebrated, as we have all bee. i and will still be delighted with his admirable productions. It is also truly gratifying to me to have it in my power to mention the name of Wilkie at this meeting, not only as a brother in art, but an early companion and fellow- student; the kindness he has always manifested to those of his own profession, and the friendly fee ing he has shown to every one who has tbe pleasure of his acquaintance, that I am this moment at a loss which to admire the most, ( lilies of the right honourable gentleman who has come forward on this occasion lo honour the St Luke's Club with his presence, during the ihort time lie has been in office, his endeavours to amalgamate the conflicting bodies villi which be is sunounded, must convince every one that he has the interests of the community sincerely at heart. I give the Lord Provost and Magistrates of Edinburgh, and may they soon possess the means, as I know they have the wish, to extend theii Countenance to the F ine Arts. ' I h e LORD PROVOST returned thanks, and said that fiom the present situation of the city, they were ilebaned from encouraging the fine arts, and confined entiiely to those cf a useful and necessary kind. ( A laugh.) He begged to propose a toast— the University of Edinburgh, ' it would be presumption in him to dilate 011 that subject, and particularly in the presence of one of its brightest stars. ( Cheers.) He knew it would fail in his hands, and therefore he should not attempt it. He shouid theiefore propose the University of Edinburgh, and may it ever continue in the scale of science and art which it has so long maintained. ( Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN rose to return thanks for the honour done to the University. He would merely say that all places of education from the highest University down to the humblest school on the way side, ought to be animated and inspired with one spirit, the diffusion of knowledge, vinue, happiness, and religion among all cur fellow brethren and Christians, that all men may know and feel lhat the glory of their existence consists in tlie knowledge of their character as men and of the ptovidenceof God. ( Cheers.) And though there might be one era or epoch when the Univeisity shone with illustrious men more than another, yet if when they dropped their bodies in the dust, their genius survived and gave cut strength to encourage tiie weakness of their successors, could any thing be so unjust, so ungenerous and so absurd, as to carry against the living the glories of the dead, unless they were insensible o f t h e glories ofthe dead, antl unable to give instruction to the nation ? If there was a deficiency of zeal and enthusiasm for the work— if labour was not '• loved for its own sake, let them be condemned ; but lit no one press a comparison of them with others— let the stars shine ct. ch in their own spheie ; and let not the shadows, of the one overcast the brightness of | the other, when the common object of both was to dif. : fuse knowledge, and virtue, and freedom over the I acrid. One othei observation he would make was this, if the University of Edinburgh lagged behind tiie spirit of the age let it be condemned, but not if it kept on a level with the age ; all it desired was the perpetuity ofthe British Constitution— the perpetuity ot loyalty, faith, liberty, fancy and imagination. The CHAIRMAN rose to propose a toast, and said, 011 this occasion, he knew the subject was one which would awaken their enthusiasm instantly, even if what he was going to soy should prove au utter and entire failure, tor he v, as auout to propose the health of him who was to have been their chairman ( Cheering); him whose peculiar and characteristic qualities made him the delight of every • company; whose great talents had elevated him to the highest honours ofthe profession ; and who had been at all times, in public and in private, the artist's friend, because his natural sensibilities disposed him to admire the. works of nature, and her reflections, and her shadows, which lhat noble art reveals. It would perhaps be better, were he to sink altogether liis title as Chairman, to sink even his title as Solicitor- General, and simi- ly to pronounce bis splendid tale. its as a painter, the purity of his heart, or his upright conduct as a man ; but this I am certain, there is but one opinion, that he is an ornament to his art and an honour to his country. The CHAIRMAN proposed the Land of Cakes, and the memory of Sir Walter Scott. Mr GLASSFORD BELT, said the toast he had to propose was the health ofthe patrons of the fine arts, ln proposing this toast, be used the words patrons and patronage in their most liberal and extended meaning, not as infeiring obligation on the one part, and condescension 011 the other; but as full of the quality of mercy, which is " Thrice blessed, Blessing him that gives, and him tbat takes ;" he used them as words applicable to the art rather than to the artist. Many persons supposed themselves patrons of the Fine Arts, because they purchased the finest productions of art— those works, which all Europe were dying to obtain, and envied the possessor. But when a mail's works are thus sought after, he who professes to extend patronage to him is no longer a patron. Dr Johnson well understood the meaning of the word, when being about to be encumbered with help, not in deep w ater, but after he had reached the ground, he wrote to Lord Chesterfield, " Your patronage would have been kind had it been early ; but it has been deferred till 1 am indifferent and cannot enjoy i t; till I am solitary and cannot impart i t ; till 1 am known and do not want it."—( Cheers.)— He ( Air Bell) was no artist, but he spoke as the artists' friend when he said he would not thank a man for his patronage w hen he was known and did not want it. It was to the productions that were full of errors, yet indicative of genius that patronage was needed; let. Scotland and Scotsmen come forward, and there were men ill this country capable of raising the. art to its highest pitch of improvement.—( Cheers.)— That, with great deference, was the view he took of the meaning of the toast, and he was sure all liberal and enlightened men joined him in that meaning. He therefore proposed the patrons and friends o f t h e fine aits. Mi KINNEAR, after paying a high compliment to the merits of Mr Naunyth as a painter, proposed tbat gentleman's health. Mr NASMYTH returned thanks. Dr HEMES said, he rose with great pleasure to propose the toast which lie was now to offer to their notice. The Scottish sculptors had the honour of completing the fadeless ciown of Scottish art. This country had produced men eminent in all departments. We had our representatives in literature and science unrivalled in the annals of mankind, and the artists, painters, and architects, if they had not surpassed all that went before them, had at least laid the foundations of art in this countiy broad and deep, and capable of bearing the noblest superstructure, which human genius could rear. But there was something still wanting to the honour of this countiy, which, like the bust ot the Old Roman, not seen in the triumphal arch, seemed the more to mark its importance. Such was the absenco of sculpture from the fine arts of this country. But now this deficiency has been done away, and we ought to rejoice that this laurel to Scottish art lias been added in our day. But was the absence of sculpture hitherto a reflection upon native genius? By no means. It could be accounted for on the soundest principles of art, and the most admitted canons of criticism. The elements of sculpture aie simplicity and sublimity. In order tl at a nation may enjoy sculpture in perfection, she requires a refined taste ; she must go back to the elements of all that is refined, beautiful, and exalted ; for colour, and even expression, is denied to sculpture ; it has only to deal with the form, and with the abstract elements of perfection and beauty. Therefore, the absence of sculpture from the arts till now proves that we are adding to the glories of our native land ; it proves that her sons are placing Scotland highest of all the nations of the earth, or at least below none in the annals of intelligence and genius. And why should Scotland not asccnd as high in sculpture as in science and the other departments of the fine arts ? There was no country but Greece, and she only in her highest, happiest, and freest days, had excelled in sculpture. We have the authority of the ancients for saying, that of all the arts sculpture requires the greatest degree of industry and patience, combined with the highest ray of genius? It was known that the completion of one subject often occupied the life- time ol an artist, and that, when he left the world, it seemed as if he breathed into his maible the spirit which had gone to Heaven. Sculpture was to the arts what metaphysics ivus to science. The one was the abstract principle of science; the other the abstract principle of taste ( Cheers); and as we had among us the highest names ill metaphysical sci. nce, and as their distinguished chairman had done what their highest metaphysicians wanted— breathed into the science the soul of every thing that was beautiful ill poetry, who could doubt that our artists would do lor sculpture what Wilson had done for the highest interests of science. ( Loud cheers.) He could not doubt that sculptuie would reach its highest perfection in this countiy, and would take its place as the sweet and beautiful sister of the other arts. He should therefore propose prosperity to the Scottish sculptors. ( Loud cheers.) Mr STEEL returned thanks, and proposed the health of Thorwaldsen, the Danish sculptor. Several other loasts were drank in the course of the evening— among others, John Burnet, and the art of Engraving, by Mr W. Simson ; the Memory of Sir Henry Raeburn, and the Portrait Painters; Mr Thorn son of Duddingston, and the Landscape Painteis DrMemes, and the Writers on Art; the Artists of Glasgow; the healths of Professor Wilson, Sir Thomas Dick Lauder, Mr Allan, & c. Several songs were also sung, ant. the hilarity ofthe company was kept up till a lale hour. had found 542 for Sir D. K. Sandford, 509 for Mr Crawfurd, and 2!) for Captain Gordon, the Sheriff de. clared Sir Daniel to be the member for the Burgh. He then expressed his satisfaction at the orderly manner in which the proceedings had been conducted, and the. peaceable demeanour of tbe people, notwithstanding the excitement that had existed as to the result of the contest. He also hoped that now, when the election was over, all the animosity that had existed would cease, and that the citizens at large would continue 011 the same friendly footing as formerly, both in ! the ordinary relations of life, and in social society. Sir D. K. Sandford was not present himself, but plimerit to the talents of Sir T. Dick Lauder, in his sketches of mountain scenery, the Professor concluded with proposing the Scottish Academy. • t Air ALLAN, in returning thanks, said, I am greatly at a loss to express nry sentiments on the present occasion for the honour done the members of ilieScottish Academy. From what 1 knowofatt, united with rile observation 1 made when abiond, and comp ring it with the ait ill Scotland, it gives me the greatest pleasure to state to this meeting, that I feel proud of the talents evinced by my countrymen, and particularly by therising generation ot artists, although tliey labour under every disadvantage for want of properjencouiagement; and I am of opinion, were it not ior a very lew private individuals of taste who cultivate the line aits litem selves, and generously encourage them in otheis, they would soon sink into total neglect and decay, nevertheless I am persuaded, that by perseverance and industry, the artists of this country will surmount every difficulty, and I trust that while they continue to Vie with each other ou the road to honourable distinction, they will insure to themselves that high culogiulii now passed upon them by cur distinguished chairman, W ith regard to the Scottish Academy, I am sure my brethren in art will join with me in ever proving grateful for the noble and generous manner in which the Solicitor- General and the Dean of Faculty brought about a union, arid restored haimony between the etitjsts of Scotland. Sir THOMAS DICK LAUDER, after expressing bis obligations to the ckaira. au for the flattering manner in which lie had been pleased to allude to his labours, taid, that since he came inlo the room a toast had been put into his hands, which would have been better intrusted to any other person. Tbe. toas. t was the Royal Institution; and baling been but a short . time in Edinburgh, he was- obliged to tutn to liis eight and left to discovtr what the Roj al Institution was, and lie had been told it was the moiber of the Scottish Academy.— ( Cheers)— and he had been let into a delicate setrt't, that there was something extremely delicate in tliai luutily connexion—( Great laughter). Now, he would ask, whether it was kind io put this toast upon him, where he stood upon broken ice, and at the next step Plight plunge over head. But as he lek it was a delicate matter to reconcile a parent and child, be should conclude by proposing a bumper to their speedy reconciliation, and lie was sure he would be joined oy every one in this toast—( Cheers).. JOHN KiNNE. lt, Esq. rose to return thanks and said, that lie was so young a Director of the Institution, he knew almost as little of it as Sir Thomas. Xi. e only important tiling iie knew ol, was their exhibition of ancient pictures, which be hoped would produce the good effect the Directors anticipated ; but lie must be allowed to express an opinion that tiie time was now past when the aits of this country were to be stimulated by tin increase in the number of sueii collections. It was tar from his wish to uniiei value ancient paintings, or those collections of art cf which 110 countiy could bo- ist more than England; but there was 110 doubt J U R Y COURT. concouise of people attended, who were respectable both in numbers and appearance. The observations of Sheriff Dunlop were received with around of applause, after which the crowd dispersed. On the announcement of the state of the poll 011 Saturday, Sir DANIEL SANDFORD, with an unusual j degree of fervour and eloquence, addressed about f. iur I hundred of the electors. He said, that all who were | in any measure acquainted with the philosophy of nature, must be aware what his feelings were at the pre- | sent moment— at this moment by far the most import- j ant of his existence—(( heers). For the ardent and I unparalleled exertions which had been made in his favour, he could not sufficiently express his gratitude. The citizens of Paisley had, by their devotion in the cause of sopnd principle, obtained a splendid victory over wild and reckless innovation— a triumph over dictation and tyranny, not only in Paisley, but also in tbe neighbouring city of Glasgow. They had fought the battle of independence, and they had been triumphant in an eminent degree. His learned antagonist had taken care to tell them that lie preferred foreign importation to their own manufactures— which was perhaps natural enough, the hor. ourable gentleman himself being a foreign importation ; but lie was proud and most happy to see that tbe electors of Paisley had preferred the homo manufacture in the election which they had just made. ( Great laughter and cheering). The learned Knight then went on, amidst frequent bursts of approbation, to state his determination to use ail the energies of his body and mind for the benefit and happiness of all classes ofthe community— as well as those who had 110 share in the suffrage by law, as those who had. He felt the deep and solemn responsibility of tbe trust which would now be reposed in him, ( Immense cheering followed the conclusion of Sir Daniel's speech). He was then greeted with the heartfelt salutes of his friends, and after Bailie Pattison of Paisley had advised the audience to disperse quietly, and not to show any marks. of triumph over their opponents, the meeting dispersed. Three times three hearty cheers were given for the member for Paisley. It is an undoubted fact, that the violence with which the Town Council of Paisley has proceeded on numelous subjects, and particularity the wanton manner in which the feelings of the friends of the Established Church have beeti insulted by that nest of vulgar demagogues, has occasioned a re- action in Paisley, and induced many who approved of Mr Crawfurd's general principles to hold back from one who, on this very question, is put forwartl as the protege of the same restless faction. A majority of the. electors are members of, or sitters ill the National Church ; and although we are well aware that some even of these are unfavourable to the principles of a religious establishment, still they do not approve o f t h e offensive and insulting manner in which the question has been treated. Religious prejudices even are entitled to respect, and those who sincerely desire their eradication will never attempt by insult to harden those who cherish them against conviction Greenock Advertiser.

BODY F OUND.—- The body of a man, very much decomposed, was discovered on tbe 18tli instant, floating in the reservoir of the Forth and Clyde Canal Company, in the parish of Kilsyth. His features, from the length of time in which the body had been immersed in the Water, could not well be recognised; in stature he might be five feet six inches,— was stout made, and had on a green coat resembling a gamekeeper's, broad striped light vest, red under- vest, drab worsted cord breeches, daik grry stockings, strong shoes, reddish printed silk neckerchief, and a good harn shirt; he was round visaged, and had reddish or auburn hair.— Amongst several articles of a trivial nature, found in his pockets, was a printed paper, containing the roll of the electors of Great Britain and Ireland in 1814-, on which was pencilled, " High Whigham, 12 April, 1833;" but there was 110 money got on his person. The corpse was decently interred, on the same day in which it was found, in Kilsyth burying ground. CORN EXCHANGE.— MARCH 24. There was a limited show of wheat, barley, beans, and pease from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, for this day's market; and the fresh arrivals of oats since Friday have been very moderate, but of this article a considerable quantity was left over from the supplies of last week. The demand for tine dry wheat was pretty good at fully the rates of this day se'ennight, for tbe general runs, and in some instances for the choicest samples rather more money was obtained. Flout was unaltered in price, but there was a slack sale. Select malting barley was taken off'at the rates of last Monday, but there was a slow sale for other qualities. Prime malt was without any alteration in value, and the demand was fair for such, but there was no inquiry after middling and inferior parcels. New beans were nearly Is. per quarter dealer with a good demand, but old were in slov. request at last week's currency. Pease of all sorts were much the same in value, with a limited business. We had a fair demand for oats without tiny material variation in the price of this article, although for fine corn the trade was certainly rather firmer. In linseed and rapeseed there was nothing passing worthy of notice. Cloversecd brought about the rates of last week, with a limited sale. Current Prices, per imperial Quarter. DUMFRIES, March 26— The weather is still cold, and at intervals stormy. For all farm and out- of- door purposes better weather could not be desired. The earth is no longer soaked with moisture, and the seeds, man and harrower have for days been so busy on every farm, that a great breadth of oat. land has already been made in the finest condition. I11 our seed market on Wednesday business was brisk, and the attendance numerous. Top samples of Angus- shire, potato, and Hopetoun oats commanded readily 2s. 6d. per bushel. Common Oats, where the sample was superior, ieached nearly 2s. 5d. The Georgian and the skinless oat appear to have gone entirely out of fashion in this quarter. NEWCASTLE, March 22— The supply of wheatat to- day's market was small, the farmers being busy in the fields ; but owing to the depressed state ofthe flour trade, it was quite adequate to the demand, and sales were slowly effected at former prices. Malt and rye were little inquired after; all but the best samples were very difficult to dispose of. Fine barley has experienced a rather better demand, the weather having been colder during the week, but inferior descriptions hang heavy on hand. There was little doing in pease, and also in beans, the demand for these articles being very limited. Oats were in good demand, and prices were the turn dearer. The weather being less favourable than in the beginning of the week, there has not been s » much life in the seed trade ; prices are full as high, and for fine samples of both white and red for seed considerable sales have been effected at 62s. per cwt. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, M a r c h 24.— Our corn niaiket continues to receive large supplies of Irish produce. Since this day week the wheat trade lias been very inactive ; scarcely a transaction of a speculative nature has occurred, and Irish Hour lias been selling at so low prices, that the millers and dealers have purchased only for their actual wants.

To be exposed to SALE by public roup ( free of auction duty), within the Old Signet Hall, Royal Excliangc, Edinburgh, on Wednesday the 2d July next, at two o'clock afternoon. r | p H E LANDS and BARONY of S C O T S - - H- CRAIG and Others, comprehending the Parish of Ferry- port- on- Craig, and Part of the adjoining Parish of Forgan, in the north east of Fife, and stretching beautifully for five miles along the south banks ofthe Tay, from immediately opposite to Dundee to its confluence with the occan. This estate contains, bj a late survey and measurement, in imperial acres: Arable, . . . . 1723.492 Pasture, . . . . 105ll.( i67 Woods, . . . . 126.909 Roads, & c 52.065 the name of Henry Cockburn ( Gieat cheers), a name which was known over all Scotland, which was not | confined to the metropolis, " familiar as a household word." lie believed, it was difficult in this empire for an individual to attract universal notice, except when he either took a leading and distinguished part in pqli- I tical affairs as a statesman, or took a leading and distinguished part in the literature ofthe country. But ! therewere men, whose character was of that happy- constitution, that they carried the feelings and sensij bilities of the country along with them, and, while they did their duty in one sphere, showed, that nature had endowed them with powers that would have reni dered them conspicuous in the very highest destinations. Such a man was Henry Cockburn. He had been often in the public eye, and on what occasions had his eloquence been most conspicuous, ot on what occasion had his country regarded him with most love and admiration? It was as an advocate ol'the poor and those who bad no friend ; as an advocate of the misguided and unthinking, for the law recognises the principle of tempering mercy with justice, anu permits the'very outcasts of society to range on their side all the talent, and eloquence, and gernus, and power of an enlightened piofession, because they aie standing on the brink of the grave, and, before the sword of justice fulls 011 their head, it must be clear they are guilty, for it would be far better that twenty guilty j men should escape than that one innocent man ! should suffer. ( Cheers.) After some farther remarks, j eulogising the subject of the toast, the Chairman conj eluded by proposing the SolicitOr- Gcneral. ( Loud cheers.) Sir THOMAS DICK LAUDER, in rising to propose the Scottish Architects, Said, that he had gone through the greater part of Europe, and visited most of her cities, and lie had returned home far from being displeased with the architecture of Edinburgh. Every stiunger, who visited Edinburgh, had a fault to find here and a fault there; and why ? Because it v. as the only place worth criticising. No man thinks of writing an elaborate critical disquisition on sohie pallry piece of sculpture or painting; he goes at once to the Apollo Belvidere or Michael Angelo. In his opinion, Edinburgh could boast of some of the finest specimens of architecture in Europe, ofthe same age and there were architects in Etlinbuigh— why they were here he did not know— he supposed, it was from the feeling, which the Chairman so well understood, because there were fields where they might acquire more fame and pocket more money than in their present limited sphere, but here they were and were likely to remain, and would produce some ofthe finest specimens of the architecture ofthe age. Mr 1'. O. HILL proposed the Royal Academy, Air ALLAN, after returning thanks, said, the toast, I ani about to propose, I am sure, will be received with delight, although 1 feel myself unqualified to do it any thing like justice. 1 have, lrowever, only to mention the name, a name that stands and wiil stand pre- emi. ncnt iu the annals of art, not only in this country, bu CAMTBELL against CAMPBELL, & C. This important trial occupied the Court and an intelligent Jury, the whole of Saturday and Monday, and only terminated on Tuesday morning at two o'clock. The case originated in certain smuggling transactions carried 011 at the Easdale Distillery, in Argyleshire, several years ago, in consequence of which the Distillery Company were prosecuted in Exchequer and fined in £ 3000. This fine and expenses were in the first instance advanced by the pursuer, who was liable to the CrOwn as a partner of the Company, although personally ignorant of the smuggling, and lie afterwards brought an action befoie the Court of Session against the other partners, Air Alexander Campbell, residing at Easdale, and Donald Ai'Andrew, and also against Robert Hunter, the Company's distiller, Concluding for payment of a balance of the fine and expences, after, deducting tbe sums recovered from the other partners, upon the ground that he being personally innocent of the smuggling was entitled to total relief from these parties, as having engiged in the illicit transactions which were the cause of the original conviction at the instance of the Crown. I11 defence it was maintained that the pursuer, although resident at a distance iiom the Distillery and taking less interest in the business than the other partners, yet was iu the knowledge o f t h e smuggling ; and after a good deal of procedure, in the course of which the defenders obtained a deligence to recover all writings and correspondence tending in any way to prove the pursuer's knowledge, the following issues weie appointed to be tried, viz.:— " It being admitted, that the pursuer and defenders, Alexander Campbell and Donald Ai'Andrew, and the late John M'Andrew, were partners of a Company, for the purpose of distilling spirits at Easdale, and that the defender, Robert Hunter, was brewer or distiller to the said Company— and that on the 17th day of December 1823, the said company were found liable in a penalty of £ 3000, as being guilty of contravening the revenue laws :— " Whether the defenders, or any of them, were guilty of the said contravention of the said laws, whereby the saitl Company were subjected in the said penalty, and obliged to pay certain expenses ? And whether the defenders, or any ot them, are indebted and resting owing to tile pursuer in the sum of £ 1171,. 5s. Id., or any part thereof, with interest thereon, as the balance of the said penalty and expences ?— or, " Whether, the said contravention pf the said laws was with the knowledge of the pursuer ?" The Jury, after a patient investigation of the whole case, in the course ot the charge of the Lord Justice Clerk summing up the evidence stated, that they had unanimously agreed to find for the pursuer on both issues, and gave in a verdict accordingly,— finding the sum of £ 1009, 5s. Id., with interest thereon as lib " lied, resting owing to the pursuer, he haying passed from £ 112 of extia judicial expenses.

Extract of a letter from Lerwick, dated tile 15th of March :—" Such horrid gales of westerly winds, and of such a continuance, I do not recollect, nor do 1 believe any man living in this place. Our harbour is literally blocked up with vessels bound to tbe westward: some French vessels, bound for the fishery at Iceland ; the Peterhead whalers; the Fidelity and ( he Jane, loaded with the American's cargo of wheat; for Lisbon; a vessel from Newcastle, for the same port, loaded with stores for Don Pedro; a brig from Riga, lor the westward, that has lain two months at Stromness, put to sea, thinking to be able to weather the Cape, and, behold, here she is farther off than ever. This day week, a F'rench schooner from Dunkirk, bound to Iceland, for the cod fishery, in taking shelter at Vailla Sound from the violence of the westerly gale, in leading up to the anchorage, was drove on shore, and went to pieces; the Noma happened to be there at the time and rendereel good assistance; the crew were all saved and a good deal of tbe materiel, which the Noma has brought round here."

It is intersected by the turnpike road from Cupar to Ferry- port- on- Craig, which is now continued to Newport, the proprietor having about three years ago, at a great expense, made an excellent new road along the coast for nearly three miles, betwixt Ferry- port- on- Craig and Newport, to open up the lands in that quarter. The farmhouse anil offices, w hich are of late erection, are complete in all respects anil most substantially finished. There belong to the estate extensive and valuable Salmon Fishings in the Tay, and along the coast tor about six miles, which formerly yielded a very large return. They are let 011 lease for £ 600, with a break in favour of the proprietor in the event of a change in the legal mode of fishing, which would produce a great addition of rent. There are attached to the fishing an excellent ice- house and fish- house, and other suitable accommodations, and the Dundee steam- boats and smacks afforel a speedy conveyance to the London market, where the fish are sent At the Village of Ferry- port- on- Craig there is a commodious port, with suitable conveniences, to which is attached an exclusive right of ferry across the Tay to Broughty, and up the Frith to Dundee. This passage is known to be the best across the Tay in that quarter ; und from the level roads to it on both sides, and other advantages and privileges, particularly for cattle, it forms hy far tbe most eligible, as well as most direct line for the great Northern Traffic. The right of ferry was, as an interim anangement, let last year with the boats, on lease for five years, at the yearly rent of £ 125 ; and a great increase of trade has recent, ly taken place. The property comprehends two waterfalls, one applied to spinning machinery, and the other to a com and barley mill, which, besides serving the thirle, is well placed for extensive business.
