ALLISON, 100, South Bridge,! ( late Scott and Orr's), begs to inform the mem- ' lers ot the Medical Profession, that he possesses^ ery large quantity of the ESSENTIAL OIL OF COPAIBA, to which, inconsequence of its extensive | tnd successful use in some parts of England, in the • arious stages of those diseases in which the Ptalsath s generally prescribed, he deems it his duty to direct : hcir attention. In strength tbe Essence is to the Balsam as 38 or 43 : o 100. It is perfectly colourless and free of offensive ; jdour,- and very fluid. The Dose varies from three to lix drops and upwards, arid can be' administered either I in drops, in emulsion, or pills, according to formula i in Dr A.' s- possession. Several eminent . practitioners in this city and: various parts of Scotland, are already, at the re- j spectful suggestion of Dr ALLISON, employing the j Essence, and have found it so superior in every \ respect to the Balsfim ( which is always nauseous, and , often unsuccessful), that they have kindly permitted ' hint to express their opinion ofifs . great value. Dr A. will be. happy to show the Drug, and afford all the information about its virtues in his power. * » * The Price is extremely moderate. The Public may implicitly rely on the purity of all Drugs sold at this WELL- KNOWN Laboratory, to the concerns of which, Dr ALLISON, having resigned his seat in the Royal College of* Physicians, his situation as a Medical Officer of tbe New Town Dispensary, . and reliftqnished practice as a PHYSICIAN, devotes the whole of his attention.

EPRAVEl) Appetite and Indigestion, Lowness of Spirits, Languor, and Weakness, constitute the misety of a large portion of the afflicted, and peculiarly of the Nervous. These symptoms, whether they have their origin in the fashionable and dissipated habits, an excessive indulgence of the appetites and passions, or anxiety of mind, are best combated by DR SOLOMON'S CELEBRATED CORDIAL BALM OF GILEAD; a remedy which has again and again met and triumphed over the most appalling features of disease. It may be resoited to by persons of either sex, and of all ages, v. ith the greatest confidence in its mild, tonic, and restorative qualities. ALSO, TIIE ANTI- IMPETIG1NE- S, OR SOLOMON'S DROPS. They are an Effectual Cure for such Disorders as originate in a depraved Habit of the Body, as Obstinate Eruptions, Undue Evacuations, Chronic Rheumatism, and the Consequences of Insidious Diseases. It is a truly mild, sate, and effectual Remedy, and the best substitute hitherto discovered for that dangerous mineral Mercury. It is equally well adapted to both sexes, and all ages. There arc few families in which its great utility does not admit of easy proof, as a purifier of the blood and a promoter of the natural secretions. Illustrations of the Efficacy of the Cordial Balm of Gil - ad, and ofthe Anti- lmpetigiries, are given in the Guide to Health, which also contains much interesting information on Health and Disease, particularly on the origin and treatment of such disorders as result from Imprudence and fashionable Vices.

Bulwell, near Nottingham, Sept. 27, 1823. GENTLEMEN, I HAVE frequently regretied that I have not in times past made that acknowledgment which is justly due for the benefit my family has derived from your excellent medicine, the ANTISCORBUTIC DROPS. Aiy son William, when about a year old, was afflicted with the Measles, which left a spot on his leg. This soon ulcerated and spread, forming a large woantl. The surgeon to wdiom we applied, succeeded in healing the ulcer, but almost immediately afterwards, an ulcer appeared upon his face, and ihe boy was dreadfully afflicted with running sores upon his neck and body ; the discharge of matter was so great, that we were obliged daily to change his linen. The physicians and surgeons in the neighbourhood were applied to, but their skill was in vain ; several other remedies we resorted to, proved equally ineffectual, and the sufferer continued a poor and miserable object, almost bent double for near twenty years. At this time 1 heard of the virtues of your inestimable medicine, and after taking six bottles, which 1 purchased from Air Sutton of Nottingham, an amendment began to take place, and perseverance in taking four bottles more, effected a perfect care. It is now six years since this was accomplished, for which 1 return you my unfeigned thanks, and wish you to make it public, for the benefit of those who may be similarly afflicted. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JOHN FOULKES. To Messrs J . LIGNUA1 & SON, Surgeons, Manchester. N.

He ( Mr L.) believed that a person had been executed for letter stealing within the last year. He hoped that the hon. member for Liverpool would persevere with his bill. Mr PEASE thought the question, as met by the Government, was merely one of time. He himself thought that the punishment of death should be abolished altogether. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. Mr Alderman WOOD moved that the petition of Mr Swift, on the subject ofthe Glasgow lottery, be referred to the select committee Agreed to. Colonel EVANS postponed his motion with reference to the working of the reform bill till after Easier. TRADES' UNIONS. Mr HUGHES presented a petition from the city of Oxford, praying the House to address the Crown to induce it to review the very rigorous and horrible sentence of seven years' transportation, passed recently on some agricultural labourers, at the Dorchester Assizes, for having administered illegal oaths. lie must say, that be thought he had perceived of late a great tendency on the part of the Judges, in sentencing prisoners for their offences, instead of judging of the nature of the crime, and apportioning the punishment to that, to be guided rather by the extent to which the particular crime existed. Now, he must say, that this appeared to him unfair. Mr H. BULWER said, if he bad seen any member of the Government present, to whose peculiar department such business belonged, he would have asked a question on the subject, which he did not know that he should be justified in putting to the right hon. Baronet opposite, the First Lord of the Admiralty ( Sir J. Graham.) What he desired to know was, whether it was the intention of his Majesty's Government that the sentence of the agricultural labourers, convicted at Dorchester of administering unlawful oaths, should be mitigated ? They ought to bear in mind that the act under which the prisoners were convicted was not passed with a view to such offences as had on this occasion been brought under it. He ( Mr Bulwer) gave notice of a motion for leave to bring in a bill to amend the act, it being evident that some alteration v. as essentially necessary. Sir JAMES GRAHAM did not believe it was t h e intention of his Majesty's Government to recommend the Crown to mitigate the sentence. Mr HARDY hoped, it was not the intention of his Majesty's Government to mitigate the sentence in this instance. Of all the curses, in any town or district, that of Trades' Unions was the worst ( Hear, hear), and, in so saying, lie did not speak as to their effect on masters in particular, but included the poor unfortunate creatures who were compelled— he had himself been witness of the fact— who were compelled, by the most foul tyranny that could be exercised, to join Unions, that they were most averse to, and who were called on to subscribe towards them sums of money, previously to themselves spending a shilling, amounting to one- fifth part of their whole earnings. To these Unions were they obliged to pay an amount, which, if they had been required to pay to the Government, they would have considered to be the grossest possible extortion. ( Hear, hear.) He knew instances, in which the men, out of twenty- five shillings per week, paid five shillings per week under the compulsion of these Trades' Unions, to whose purposes the money was applied. The House was perhaps not aware, that thesp Unions existed not in one place alone, but in every part of the kingdom, spreading from town to town, and from place to place, and exercising a universal influence. As regarded the learned Baron ( Williams), who had passed the sentence, every man, who knew his liberal principle ( Hear, hear); every man, who knew his character, must feel convinced, that he would do all he could do to protect these misguided men from the effects of their own conduct. Mr WARHUETON contended that the existing law was not sufficiently clear, and whatever other expedient they might have recourse to for putting down oaths, which were directly prejudicial to the free in. tercourse of trading, let them not resoit to a forced interpretation. It would be much better to get a statute for tile express purpose desired. Sir J . GRAHAM was sorry any question had been asked in the House which he was not better prepared to answer; but hejfelt bound to say, that as at present advised, looking at the existing circumstances of the country, with respect to this question, agreeing with the honourabre member for Bridport, and not with the honourable member for Oxford, as regarded punishment, which he ( Sir J . Graham) thought ought not to be for vengeance, but for example—( Hear, hear) — for example, that it might deter, that being the object of all punishment, and the only justification of punishment that was severe— as at present advised, then, and under these circumstances, he did not see any ground on which to tender advice to his Majesty to mitigate this sentence. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr HOOD presented a petition from some licentiates of the College of Physicians in London, praying for an investigation into certain matters connected with that College. Referred to the committee.

There is some mystery here which time alone can clear up ; for, to judge by appearances the two Cabinets are either not quite agreed respecting I he question of the East, or they [ are reciprocally endeavouring to help each other out of their difficulties as soon as either of them has gone too far, and a certain responsibility to the omnipotence of Parliament make3 it necessary to hold in a little. This time it was the English Ministry that had ventured too far, and now, as it seems, would willingly draw back without appearing to he inconsistent in the eyes of the nation and the Parliament. It is possible that they have come to an understanding on this subject with their French colleagues, and that the latter have commissioned their half official journals to adopt the tone which, to the surprise of Europe, had hitherto been chosen in London, in order to moderate the unseasonable language which was employed against the stipulations of 8th July. The Globe, in opposition to the opinion of the Journal des Debats, appears now to be satisfied with the ' convention of St Petersburg, in order to be able to allege to the Houses of Parliament the excuse that the intimate alliance with France called for an apparent demonstration against Russia, though it is notorious how little desire there was at Paris for demonstrations which, being contrary to all right, were contrary to sound policy. This diplomatic slight of hand may also serve the French Ministers, by enabling them to flatter the French national vanity, and give themselves an air of independence, and make use of the aversion to the Cabinet of St Petersburg which has prevail ed in France since the Polish insurrection; but it is possible, on the other hand, that there may have been no understanding, and in that case, j t should seem that the alliance between England and France is very precarious, and not likely to endure much longer. At all events, we have proof that the vacillations of the two maritime Powers lead to nothing, and their official and half official expressions of disapprobation of a legitimately existing and incontestible act are a vain show. In general, foreign policy seems to be the weak side of the Grey Ministry.— Mistakes are everywhere made, but among the greatest may be leckoned the attacks directed against the treaty of July 8. They have not only disclosed the weakness of England, but have even shown their cards to France, now their ally, but which will not always remain such, and may easily resume its old character of a rival. S P A I N . H O U S E O F COMMONS. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26. ( Continued from our last Private Correspondence.) The felons' property bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on the 16th of April. Sir J . GRAHAM said, that before^ going into the orders of the day, he would beg leave to move that the House, on its rising, do stand adjourned to Monday the 14th of April Carried. The hemp and flax bounties bill| vas read a second time, and ordered to be committed on the 14th of April. The Exchequer of receipt bill was read a third time and passed. LETTER STEALING, & C. Mr EWART, in rising to make his promised motion for abolishing capital punishment in cases of letter stealing, & c., went into details respecting the number of convictions and executions within the last few years, and contended that by official returns, it was clearly manifest that a diminution of capital punishment had not been followed by an increase of crime.— He concluded by moving for leave to bring in a bill for abolishing capital punishment in cases of letter stealing and returning from transportation ; and in certain cases of burglary. Mr AGLIONBY seconded the motion. Lord HOWICK felt unwilling to oppose a motion l i k : the present, but hoped that the honourable memb; r for Liverpool, when he considered the circumstances under which his motion was brought forward, would consent to withdraw it for the present. He admitted that the crime of returning from transportation, and stealing letters, and some kinds of bulgary, ought not to be p mishable with death; but the honourable member ant the country knew, that though these crimes were, by tile terms ofthe statutes, capital, yet, in point of fact, criminals were never now executed for t. iese offences. He did not ask the honourable mem. l e r to abandon his bill altogether, or even to delay it indefinitely, but he asked him to delay it for a short li ne, in expectation— and he ( Lord Howick) thought uie well- grounded expectation— that the report of the commissioners would soon appear. The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of Bayonne, of the 22d inst. has the following:—" I t appears that the Carlists had received the promise of three days' pillage at Vittoria, but the very day of their entrance they thought proper to abandon that town. The Commander of the Queen's troops, Osma, pursued their rear- guard, and made 27 prisoners, who have probably been shot, in retaliation for the execution of the prisoners made by the insurgents. The Carlists had 380 horsemen, commanded by a chief who bad fought in America- We have the following from St Sebastian. Two hundred militiamen were at Gamarra, near Viltoria ; these unfortunate men, after a vigorous resistance, in which 40 were killed, surrendered, on the express condition that their lives should be spared, but they were instantly shot. The insurgents then penetrated by different streets into the town, where they met with so obstimate a resistance, that they were obliged to retire, leaving a great many dead, and fifty prisoners, whose death was loudly called for. The greatest praise is due to General Don Joaquim de Osma, who, without hat or sword, put himself at the head o f t h e militia and the volunteers, and gave an example of Ihe most brilliant valour in falling upon the Carlists. Oil the following day several carts were laden with the insurgents killed ; the rebels required 150 horses to carrv away their wounded. Thus, but for the loss of the 200 militia, the attack on Vittoria would have been a glorious day." CARLIST BULLETIN OF THE 18TH MARCH. The Government Junta has just received the following dispatch from the Commandant- General of the army :—" I have the satisfaction of announcing to your Excellency that this morning, at nine, the town of Vittoria was attacked on three points by the troops of Navarre and Alava. The column forming the left wing succeeded in penetrating into the principal square, by causing great havoc in the ranks of the enemy, who avoided falling completely into our power by precipitately taking refuge in the houses, where they barricaded themselves. The column forming its right wing was obliged to divide its forces, in order to oppose a detachment of 200 peseteros, which suddenly appeared on its flank. This detachment was met with such intrepidity by a portion ofthe infantry and cavalry, and was so roughly handled, that in spite of its resistance, the whole troop, with the exception of one man, was put to the sword. This brilliant success, obtained with a trifling loss, produced joy and enthusiasm throughout the army, which hailed the happy event with repeated shouts of ' God save the King our Lord.' The troops which entered the town fought three houis, and continued advancing till I gave them orders to withdraw. I have not received details relative to our loss, but there is every reason to suppose that it is very inconsiderable. " I hasten to intorm your Excellency of this happy event, without waiting for particulars, which I will forward to you as soon as possible. I have to add, that our advanced posts this morning captured an officer and three soldiers of the line. Our troops have performed to- day twelve hours' march, and they are tired enough, but they are still animated with that satisfaction and order which are so characteristic. " God preserve your Excellency. " T H O M A S ZUMALACARREGUY. " Narvajas, March 16, 1834." BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS, March 24.— The bulletin of this morning, of tbe health of the Prince Royal, announces that as the Prince is progressively getting better no more bulletins will be issued, A battery of artillery coming from Waterloo has passed through Brussels, going towards Antwerp; it is thought it will be followed by troops fiom Hainault. and from the province of Namur. BRUSSELS, March 25— In the Chamber of Representatives yesterday, the President said thatM. Frison had proposed, the day before, that the Ministets should be requested to come to the Chamber, and wished, to know whether the Chamber would wait till the Minister of War should arrive. This was resolved on, and all the Ministers soon after arriving, M. Frison asked the Minister of War for some explanation relative to the movements of the Dutch army, and the measures which he intends to take to repel any act of violence that the enemy may commit on our territory, and to oppose an invasion if it should take place. M. de Renesse pointed out to the Minister of War what passes about Maestricht, and asked what measures he would take to prevent any further violation of our territory. The Minister of War— The recent information I have received from North Brabant enables me to say that the cantonments of the Dutch army are the same as at the time ofthe breaking up of the camp at Ryen and Aerschot. Yet it is certain that the army is increased by the return of the men who were absent on furlough, and that the furloughs which were to be granted on the lst March have been greatly restricted. On our side, relying on the treaty of the 21st May, we have not however ceased to hold ourselves in readiness to meet events. Thus we have caused the camps which were formed last year to be preserved, and they will be again occupied in the spring. The Chamber may be assured that the Government is on its guard; the measures that have been taken are not such as can be divulged here, but you may be certain that we are prepared against every event. As to the second question put to me, it is true that General Dibbets lias thought fit to make excursions to a pretty considerable distance from the fortress of Maestricht. General Hurel has written to him, to signify to him that these excursions were opposed to the status quo, and that he must not continue them. General Dibbets, on his side, appeals to the status quo, pretending that previously to the treaty of 21st May he made the same military promenades that he does now. This has obliged us to think of measures to put an end to this state of things. 1 shall shortly be able, gentlemen, to inform you what these measures are. M. de Robaulx thought the reply of the Minister too vague, aud after some further discussion The Minister for F'oreign Affairs said it would be ridiculous to alarm the country ; there is little appearance of war when we see the public funds at par. After some further observations, the Minister of War declared that he would engage to do all in his power to repel any invasion in case it should take place, on which several members declared themselves satisfied. LONDON, MARCH 28. THE KINO'S LEVEE. His Majesty, attended by Sir Herbert Taylor, arrived in town about half- past one o'clock 011 Wednesday afternoon, from Windsor Castle, escorted by a body of lancers. The Duke of Cumberland and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester visited the King at St James's soon after his arrival. His Majesty held a Levee and Privy Council. His Majesty gave audiences to Earl Grey, the Earl of Carlisle, the Duke of Richmond, Viscount Melbourne, Mr Secretary Stanley, the F'. arl of Albemarle, Sir James Graham, and Lord Saltoun, Field Officer in Brigade Waiting. The following were presented to his Majesty. The Hon. William Stafford Jemingham, by Lord Stafford. IiOrd Meadowbank, by Sir Robert Peel. Mr Haviland, Member of the Council, and Treasurer of Prince Edward's Island, by Sir George F. Seymour. Mr James M'Adam, by the Duke of Richmond. Major Crawford, 011 his return from Gibraltar. Captain Donald Maekay, on having paid off his Majesty's ship Revenge, by Sir James Graham, Bart. Lieutenant- Colonel Wilson, 011 receiving the third class o f t h e Royal Hanoverian Order, by General Lord Horaden, G- C. B. Lieutenant Torrens, by Lieut.- General Sir James Kempt. His Majesty gave audiences to M. Lichtenberg, the Hanoverian Charge d'All'airs, and Sir William Woods. The King left town at ten minutes past six o'clock on liis return to Windsor Castle, attended by Sir H e r b e i t Taylor. GERMAN PAPERS. PRUSSIA, March 14.— When we hear the Globe and the Journal des Debats give their opinions of the conventions concluded ot St Petersburgh, between Russia and the Porte, we might believe t'lat they hail exchanged their parts, and that the French Ministerial press takes the place of the English to occupy the ground which the latter has abandoned, and excite suspicions 011 the views of Russia with respect to the Porte, though these views may be clearly seen frotn tbe late convention, and Aeiimed Pacha has left St Petersburgh satisfied with the result of his mission. When we hear, on the other hand, that the English Ambassador presented on the 9th February a very energetic note at Constantinople, in which he appeals to the compact which the Porte entered into with Great Britain in 1809, as aground to declare ihe convention null which was concluded between Russia and the Porte on the 8th July last year; while the French Ambas- ador touches only reign Office. The Princess Victoria has had a slight attack of ! t h e prevailing influenza, which has prevented her from leaving Kensington Palace since Monday, but we have the pleasure to state, that her Royal Highness was considerably better on Wednesday, and is fast recovering- The answer to inquiries at Kensington Palace yesterday was, that the Princess Victoria was considerably better, and recovering from the effects of the prevailing cold which her Royal Highness has had. « The Duke of Sussex was 011 Wednesday much b e t t e r ; bis cough is less troublesome than it was, nnd he is 11a longer hoarse. His Royal Highness, in consequence of his sight being impaired, wears a shade. Mr Alexander, the oculist, visits him daily, and his report of the state of the complaint is very favou able. A Cabinet Council was held at half- past four yesterday af. ernoon at the Home Offiee, attended by Lords Grey, Lansdowt e. 11J Ripon, t i e Duke of Richmond, Lords Carlisle, Melbourne, Palmerston, Holland, and John Russell, Mr Stanley, Mr Grant, and Sir J . Graham. The Lord Chancellor joined he othe • Ministers soon after five. Viscount Altborp was absent, having left town in the morning for Northamptonshire. The Council sat in deliberation upwards of two hours. The Belgic and Porrti!? uose Ministers, and the Sardinian Ctiarge d'Affaires, transacted business yesterday at 1 ho Fo- The Admiralty have ordered a Government steamvessel to proceed to Calais to bring over his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, who is daily expecled to return to England from a visit to his illustrious parents. ROYAL MUSICAL FESTIVAL.— Their M a j e s t i e s i n - tend to honour each of the four performances with their presence, which will greatly enhance both the interest and splendour of tbe assembly. The tickets for admission will not be ready for delivery until the first or second week in May, which will be six weeks prior to the festival. A great proportion of the members of both Houses of Parliament have left town for the Easter holidays. There are at present no less than 140 notices of motions to be brought forward this session, entered on the order book of the House of Commons, in addition to the regular orders of the day for proceeding with bills already before the House, which amount to thirty- six. The 19th of June is the last day for which any notice of motion is yet entered. The anniversary dinner of that meritorious institution the Caledonian Asylum, is announced for the 16th of April, when the Right Hon. Lieutenant- General Sir George Murray will take the chair. At a meeting of the subscribers to Lloyd's 011 Wednesday a vote of L. 20 was unanimously adopted to Henin, the French fisherman, who swam off to the Amphitrite when that vessel was wrecked on the coast of France. CAPTAIN Ross.'— At the meeting of the Common Council yesterday, the freedom of the city of London was presented to Captain Ross in a handsome box of British oak, in testimony o f t h e approbation of the Common Council, for the courage and perseverance which marked the whole of Captain Ross's proceedings in his hazardous enterprize in the Arctic regions. Two curious entries appear in the Customs' lists of yesterday. The extreme mildness of the season has prevented the dealers in ice from obtaining their usual supplies, and two vessels, some time since, were chartered to proceed to Norway, to procure cargoes. The vessels have returned full. One of them has been entered as of the value of L. 80. We learn by advices from the Bahamas that the Legislature there had passed a bill admitting their free coloured brethren to a participation of the rights and privileges of the colonies. Papers from Demerara of the 4th contain a proclamation from the Governor, announcing that a most daring and extensive robbery had been committed in the district of Berblce, the office o f t he Colonial Register having been entered, and money in specie and colonial paper to the amount of from 120,000 to 150,000 guilders abstracted from the iron chest. A11 embargo hail, in consequence, been laid on the shipping in the river, and strict search was being made in every quarter to which suspicion was directed, but without success. As it appears a military guard was regularly stationed at night, it must have required a considerable degree of courage and dexterity to execute the robbery, unless with the participation of one or more of the guard. Sir J . C. Smith had offered a reward of 100 joes to any person or persons who should give such information as would lead to the detection of ihe culprits; and in addition to the said reward, 200 joes were offered by some gentlemen of Berbice for a similar purpose. FORWARDNESS OF TIIE SEASON.— The country around London is fast assuming the beautiful livery of spring. The hawthorn hedges in most situations are in full leaf, and the buds of its flower, popularly known as May, are fully formed, and almost ready to burst into bloom ; indeed, in a few rare instances, where the bush is in a very favourable situation, it is already in blossom. All instance of this is to be seen iu a gentleman's garden at Clapham. The bramble has been now some time in leaf, and is to be occasionally seen in blossom. The buckthorn, or sloe, the bloom of which precedes the leaf, is generally covered with blossoms. The weeping willows, the horse- chesnut, the elm, and the lime trees, show already small, tender, pale green leaves, particularly on their lower branches. The lilacs, the alder, the roses, and various other shrubs are in full leaf, and some of the latter are even blossoming in the open air. The peculiar and distinct sneeieS called the cherry. rose, where trailed up against the sides of houses having a southern or western aspect, 13 full of rich crimson blossoms, which, contrasting with its dark green leaves, have a very pleasing effect, These blossoms will, as the season advances, gradually fade into perfect whiteness. That well known parasite plant of our common hedges, the blue major convolvulus, is here and there to be seen in blossom. The verdant fields are richly enamelled with the daisy, and even a butter cup is occasionally to be met with. The early pease, although somewhat checked by the recent frosty nights, are, where the ground is well manured and the situation favourable, full a foot high. In properly cultivated gardens, all the spring flowers and shrubs are to be seen blossoming nearly a month earlier than the ordinary period. F'rench beans and cucumbers are exhibited for sale in Covent Garden market. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE— Monday, Reuben Moger, a private of the 46th foot, stationed at our barracks, was committed to Westgate gaol for trial at the ensuing Sessions, under the following circumstances :— On Saturday last Moger, and another private, named Johii Oliver, were standing near the fire- place in the barrack room jeering each other. Oliver becoming incensed with the remarks of Moger, gave him a blow on his breast with his fist, when the latter, greatly irritated, took up the poker and struck Oliver a violent blow 011 the head, and fractured his skull. He immediately fell, antl although every assistance was rendered, lingered only till Sunday, when he died. An inquest was held on Monday 011 the body of the deceased, and a verdict of manslaughter returned against Moger Kentish Gazette. TRADE OF LEEDS— We are sorry to state that our staple manufactures continue very inactive; most of the mills are working short time; and a great many persons ate totally out of work, many of them suffering great privation. We hear that the operatives contemplate a public meeting of the unemployed, in order that the inhabitants generally may be made acquainted with the extent of the evil. In the Cloth Halls on Saturday and Tuesday, very little business was done. The manufacturers and merchants will not buy, except on very low terms, the warehouses being heavily overcharged with goods of almost all sorts. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY The business done in wool is slack ; prices have gone down in the course of the last month 10 to 15 per cent. Yarns flat; the spinners decline accepting the offers of the manufacturers, who stand out for a decline. In the piece market, 011 Thursday, there was a good deal of business done, but at a small reduction. HALIFAX— A great many workmen are wholly or partially out of employment. Scarcely any tiling done in t h e stuff'trade on Saturday. The merchants will only purchase at a reduction; the manufacturers' decline selling f'or prices at which, in the present state of the wool market, they cannot replace the goods so sold. There seems to be a general determination to abstain until the price of wool comes down. At Halifax there is a heavy stock of goods, the season o f t h e year considered. I I UDDE RSFIELD On T u e s d a y , business to some extent was done in fine cloths; in other articles almost a stagnation. There are many hands out for want of work ; but in this respect Huddersfield is not so badly olf as Leeds and Halifax. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, M a r c h 24 The flannel market 011 Monday was thinly attended ; goods sold at the prices of last week, yet buyers seem to expect a reduction. The weavers and spinners are only working four days per week, yet there are few goods beforehand. The silk trade in Lancashire is slack, and particularly at this time of the year. The number of people out of employment in Bradford is very large, and daily increasing. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PLYMOUTH, March 26 The Edinburgh, 74, Captain J . R. Dacres, sailed on Thursday, for the Mediterranean. The Rodney was docked 011 Tuesday evening, preparatory to her being commissioned. The Nile, 92, will be launched in July next; she is proceeding with all possible dispatch, together with the Pique of 36 guns. The other ships building are the St George, 120; Hindostan, 74; Flora, 36; and Sappho, 16. The Impregnable, 104, is ordered to be brought forward, without delay, for commission. EAST INDIA SHIPPING. The East India Company's ship Farquharson arrived off Deal on the 26th inst. She sailed from China on the 29th of November, and St Helena on the lst of February. The Bounty Hall, from Bombay, at Liverpool, sailed November 7. Arrivals at Bombay— Ceres, Stockholm, October 25; Royal George, London, November 3 ; Parkfield, Liverpool, 4th; Eliza, London, 4th; Asia, Liverpool, 6th; William, Liverpool, October 23, loss of foremast and part of cargo thrown overboard. Arrivals at St Helena— Esther, Mauritius, January 28, sailed for London; Collingwood, Mauritius, 28th, sailed for Liverpool; Grace, Bombay, 29th, sailed for London ; Manderson, Calcutta, 30th, sailed for Liverpool; the Nyverheitl, Batavia, 30th, sailed F'ebruary 1, for Rotterdam; Reliance, Mauritius and Cape, 30th, sailed for London. COLONIAL MARKETS— MARCH 28. Business in the city being wholly suspended today, the following remarks have reference to the transactions o f t h e week ending yesterday afternoon :— BRITISH PLANTATION SUGAR The prices have improved from 6d. to Is. per cwt., and yesterday a good deal of business was done. The sales have been about 2000 hhds., including 101 hhds. of Barbadoes sugars, which was 6d. per cwt. dearer, good and fine qualities realizing 60s. to 62s. per cwt. The sugar market is very firm, and after the holidays increased business is anticipated. EAST INDIA SUGAR The advance of I s . per cwt. in Mauritius is supported; and in the week ending yesterday 10,470 bags have been sold. Manilla sugars are Od. per cwt. higher. REFINED SUGARS— For fine crushed there are buyers at 31s., but 31s. 6d. per cwt. is demanded Grocery qualities are steady. COFFEE— British plantation Coffee has been d ul in consequence of the expectation that the crop would be abundant. Holders are, however, not inclined to press sales. Foreign coffees are 2s., and East India coffees from Is. to 2s. lower. The public sales have been pretty large. TEA— The clearances continue considerable, and good business is doing in Teas. Ru M.— The market is steady and prices firm. COTTON— About 900 bales have been sold during the week at steady prices, including a public sale of 225 bales of Para, which fetched 9Jd. to 9 § d. per lb. WOOLS— Somejpublic sales having been announced for the beginning of next month, there is more activity in this trade. In all about 1800 bales of Australian, Russian, Tuscany, and other wools are to be offered, and more is expected to be declared. The present prices, it is expected, will be fully supported. INDIGO— There is rather loss doing for export and home use, the East India Company's sale drawing very near, when it is expected about 5000 chests will be offered. TALLOW.— The market for Russia tallow is at 44s. per cwt. Town tallow is Is. per cwt. loivei than last week, being now quoted at 46s. per cwt. country. There is 110 doubt that they merit the deepest sympathy, and are proper objects of private benevolence. But it seems . doubtful how far Government woul i be j u s t i f i ed in extending relief to them from the public purse. Ministers, in theirolfieial capacity, act as trustees for the public. They are bound to apply the money entrusted to them to its allotted purposes ; and it would be cor— t r a r y to all principle to expend it on other objects, however laudable and benevolent. A public meeting has, we observe, been convened in the metropolis on the subject, where individuals may contribute for the relief of those distressed refugees out of their own f u n d s ; the t r u e legitimate source from which benevolence ought to flotv. The House adjourned on Thursday night, for the Easter recess, until Monday the 14th of April. P R I V A T E CORRESPONDENCE. Royal Exchange, London, Friday Night. This being Good Friday, all places of public resort here were closed, and of course, no business was done in the Public Funds. It was rather expected that the Lightning steam boat, which we believe is the nex1 vessel to arrive from Lisbon, would have been announced as having arrived at the out- port during the day, but, up to a late hour this afternoon, no express ha. l been received with such information. Many of the sp: culators, however, visited the city to ascertain whether any news had been obtained. There are very few arrivals in the City of importance to- day. Halifax papers have been received to- day, reaching down to the 9th inst. The Legislature of the colony was actively engaged in the adoption of measures for the improvement of the colony. The subject of improving the representation of the province had been entered upon by the Assembly, and it v. as expected, would be attended with beneficial results. Some private accounts received from Kingston, Upper Canada, state that the House of A sse nbly had, after a lengthened debate, resolve 1 thst the Welland Canal should become whol'y the p: ope ' ty o f t he public. The anticipations of an improved dema id for Colonial and other produce, after the Easter h ilidays have concluded, arc very strong. A good de il of interest is at present attached to the state o f t h e wool trade, in consequence of the extensive advance which has oc. curred in the prices of this staple during the last 12 or 15 months. Some public sales have been announced, the result of which is looked for with anxiety, as they will tend more correctly to indicate the present state of the market. SMITHFIELD, March 28 The beef trade this morning is flat, and the price for the finest meat is 3s. Od. to 3s. lOd. per stone; in mutton the primest Downs sell at 4s.

E D I N B U R G H E V E N I N G COURANT. © linilaivg'i), MONDAY, MARCH 31. From the Brussels papers we learn that some movements have been made among the Dutch troops, which have excited serious uneasiness in Belgium. To a question which was asked on this subject by a member of the Chamber of Representatives, it was answered by the Minister at War, that means are about to be adopted for the purpose of putting a slop to those incursions into the Belgian territory by the garrison of Maestricht. It is not possible, however, that any danger can thence arise to the general peace. The great Powers of Europe will not permit any war to take place between Belgium and Holland ; and whatever antipathy may prevail between the two countries, it cannot lead to any warlike result. I t appears from the Paris papers, that the Ministers have carried their Association Bill, but the minority is greater than we expected. The division was, for the bill, 246 ; against it, 154. A protest o f t h e minority would, il is supposed, be placed on record against the bill. The debates upon it occupied fourteen days, and were in general conducted with much personal abuse anil political acrimony. The Parliamentary business has not of late been of any great importance. In the House of Lords a petition was presented from certain Dissenters of Leith and Edinburgh, praying for the dissolution of the connection between Church and State, and that all taxation for the support of the Established Church in both parts of the kingdom should be discontinued, as it added greatly to the burdens of the people. Lord Brougham, however, expressed his strong dissent from this part of the petition, as also from another averment made by the petitioners, namely, that the adherents of the Established Church form a minority among the people. In Scotland, certainly, the Established Church, with the trifling exception of the two towns of Edinburgh and Montrose, is supported without imposing any burden on the people at large, nor does it in af. y respect interfere with the Dissenters, either in their marriages, or in any part of their worship. In all points they are quite at liberty to act entirely according to the dictates of their own judgment. They, it appears, disapprove on principle of an established church. In this case, they are quite fiee to enjoy their own opinions, and to act upon them ; aud having this liberty, why should they desire more? If the establishment trenched in any respect on their freedom, their hostility would be easily understood ; but, seeing that this is not the case, why cannot the Dissenters, having their own way in religious matters, allow others also to follow their own opinions ? At present, it is clear that there is 110 disposition in any influential quarter to encourage their petitions.

Died, at Saint Lucia, on the 23d of January last, M a j o r - G e n e r a l JAMES ALEXANDER FARQUHARSON of Oakly, Governor of the colony of Saint Lucia. Extract from St Lucia Gazette, of 29th Jan 1834. « It is with unfeigned grief that we have now'tf) record and to deplore the death of Major- General James Alexander Farquharson, the Governor of this Colony. The mournful event occurred on Thursday evening, the 23d instant, at half- past seven o'clock, after an illness, ftom fever, of four or five days ; but ;; o suttlricn a termination was totally unanticipated by his immediate friends and attendants. " On the following day his remains were deposited, amidst military honours, in the burial ground on Morne Fortune, side by side with three other gallant officers, who have successively been conveyed to the same bourne whilst administering the government of the island;— a fourth Governor now lies within that hallowed spot, close to the monumental pillar erected there to the memory of his countrymen and his brothers in arms 1 " In General Farquharson, his Majesty has been deprived of a faithful and zealous servant, in whom his Ministers reposed the fullest and most unalloyed confidence; and as an irrefragable proof of his high character and meritorious offices, he enjoyed the gracious distinction of remaining as the only Govetnor- in- Chief in this command throughout the Windward and Leeward Archipelago. " In our late lamented Governor, the planter had a friend and protector, who evinced on every occasion the warmest zeal and anxiety for his welfare, with the utmost promptitude in supporting his lawful authority over his plantation. " Devoted to tbe conscientious discharge of the important functions of his high situation, he was patient and unwearied in his application, and, disregarding every personal comfort, although for some time he was nearly bereaved of the blessing of vision, he yet continued to fulfil his task with vigour unimpaired and with ardour nnabated. " In him, we fondly think, were blended together the varied talents ofthe civilian, with the military virtue8 of the veteran." Setoff from Oman's Hotel, fi, Charlotte Square, the Right Hon. the Earl of Aboyne, for London. DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF BREADALBANE. We understand tbat this nobleman died al Tavmouth Castle on Saturday last, after a painful illness. His Lordship is in the 72d year of his age. He succeeded his cousin in the Earldom of Breadalbane in 1782, and was created Marquis of Breadalbane in 1831. His Lordship is succeeded in his titles by his only son, the Earl of Ormelie. DEATH OF MRS BURNS.— It is with regret we announce, the demise of the venerable relict of our National Bard. The melancholy event took place at her own house in Dumfries, about eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, and the information was communicated in a letter to her sister at Mauehiine, where, we believe, the eldest son of the poet ia at present residing.— Kilmarnock Journal.— Mrs Burns had a paralytic attack on file Saturday previous^ which deprived her of speech and hearing ; but she remained perfectly sensible, and knew the relations and friends who ministered to her comfoit. She was about 72 years of age. Her remains are to be interred to- morrow, in the Mausol^ m at Dumfries, where her husband is buried. EDINBURGH YOUNG MEN'S SOCIETY.— On W e d - nesday evening, the 26th instant, the quarterly meeting of this society was held in the Calton Convening Room, the reverend William Cunningham, of the College Church, president of the society, in the chair. Near the Chairman were the reverend Edward Craig; J. Campbell, Esq. of Carbrook; Rose, Esq.; the reverend William Day, & c. Upwards of two hundred young men were present, who, before the business ofthe meeting commenced, partook of an excellent supply of coffee, & c. provided f'or the occasion. The President having opened the meeting, the report of the society's proceedings for the quarter was read by the Secretary, from which it appears, that the great objects of this institution continue to be promoted. It consists of nine associations, composing which the number of members amounts to upwards of one hundred and forty- six, one of the objects of the society being to co- operate with such approved religious and benevolent institutions as can be most effectually benefited by its assistance. The meeting was addressed by the President, by the reverend J. Stewart, vice- president, and by several of the members. LEITH.— On Thursday evening, a public meeting of the inhabitants of Leith was held in the Chapel, Storrie's Alley, Kirkgate, for the purpose of addressing his Majesty, to relieve the Spiritual Peers from their political duties in the Houso of Lords. The meeting was numerously attended, chiefly by the working classes; Councillor John Mitchell was in the chair, and tho meeting was addressed respectively by Mr Perkins, MrD. Young, Mr C. Morrison, Mr J . Veitch, Mr L. Bennet, & e. A memorial was read and adopted by the meeting, and it was agreed that the Committee should forward it to tbe Earl of Durham, to be personally presented to his Majesty. After thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. On Saturday afternoon, eighteen convicts embarked at Leith, in one o f t h e smacks, for London, previous to undergoing the various sentences of transportation which have been passed on them. A very fine engraved view of Dalkeith, from a beautiful painting by Mr Thomas Thomson ofthat town, was lately presented by that gentleman to his Majesty, in a frame of oak root from the woods at Dalkeith Palace. A short time ago Mr Thomson received a letter from the Keeper of his Majesty's Privy Purse, not only graciously acknowledging the receipt of the picture, but announcing that his Majesty was much pleased with it, and inclosing a draft on the bank in return. Mr Thomson at the same time sent one of his views, framed in the same manner, to the Duke of Sussex, and his Royal Highness, in testimony of his high opinion of Mr Thomson's abilities, has been pleased to appoint him his painter for Scotland. GREENLAW.— Mannes Svvincv, lately convicted before the High Court of Justiciary of assaulting and robbing near Lauder, was brought here on Tuesday last, under a proper guard, preparatory to his undergoing the last sentence of the law on Wednesday next. The poor man has been most deplorable state of mental agony since his arrival, all hopes of a commutation of the sentence having been cut olf by Lord Melbourne returning the petition of the jurv for mercy with an observation that he saw no cause to interpose the royal clemency. The Magistrates of Inverness have applied to the Lord Advocate to take some steps for getting ihe burgh relieved of the expense of executing criminals. They mention to his Lordship that they have discharged their executioner, and that they will be subjected to very serious expense, if the man at present in custody on a charge of murder, should be sentenced to be hanged. One night last week, the keeper of a spirit cellar in Johnstone had occasion to go out with his wife, and left only a little girl in the house. On their return they found her enveloped in flames, when, with the greatest presence of mind, he smothered them with his coat, and tore off her remaining ^- clothes; in doing so ho scorched his hands severely, but it is rather remarkable the child escaped without llie least bodily injury. TOWN COUNCIL. In our paper of Thursday, we took the liberty of suggesting doubts respecting certain economical arrangements proposed or said to be proposed by a committee of the Town Council; and farther inquiry has convinced us, that however laudable economy may be, it may, in some cases, be carried too far. In private establishments old servants often receive pensions when their services are no longer wanted, and the public ought certainly not to be behind hand with individuals in liberality to those whom it employs. By the reform which is proposed, several old and meritorious servants of the public are to be turned off to destitution. We have access to know that in some cases this will literally be the case. Mr Macleod, the ringer of the music bells, who, for that office, left a situation where lie earned from £ 70 to £ 80 a- year, an industrious, well- doing, and respectable character, with a wife and family, lias scarcely any ether dependence. We state, without fear of contradiction, that if he be turned out of bis situation, it will be to ruin and misery. Now, we would earnestly entreat the Council to consider, not whether such treatment would be generous and humane, but whether it would be just. It will be observed that most of those whose salaries it is now proposed to abolish or reduce, i: i accepting their situations, necessarily made a sacrifice of other business, because they could not attend to it, and they did so under an idea that their offices would be permanent. There was no formal engagement, certainly— nothing on black and white— but I there was here an implied engagement, which, on honour and principle, must be recognized, and which will be violated if these functionaries be at once turned off to poverty, after having lost their other business in the service of the public. These are considerations which ought to be deeply weighed, and which may well cause the staunchest economist to relent, and to check his impatient course. There could be no possible objection wh- n these situations become vacant by death, to consider of their utility to the public, and either to abolish them altogether, or to adopt new arrangements. But to deprive the present occupants of their poor pittance, and to retluce them to destitution, seems as little consistent with the public interest, as with the principles of humanity or justice. In consequence of the death of the Marquis of Breadalbane, anil the succession of ihe Earl of Ormelie, a vacancy is occasioned in the representation of Perthshire. The friends of the right honourable Sir George Murray litive announced that he is again to be brought forward as a candidate.— See Advertisement. MR HOPE JOHNSTONE.— Our county member has lost bis suit for the Lordship of Annandale. The present Chancellor and the most learned of his existing " predecessors, Lord Eldon, were both opposed to it. Their grounds of opposition were twofold ; they questioned the validity of the proofs produced of a failure of the issue of Lord John Johnstone, a personage whose existence, our readers are aware, was at one period of the plea disputed ; and conceding 6uch a failure, they inclined to the belief that the right of the title had vested, not in Mr Johnstone, but in the Earl of Hopetoun.— Dumfries Times. DUNKELD.— An accident of a rather serious nature happened here on Wednesday se'ennight. The Hon. Mr Murray, eldest son ofLord Glenlyon, being in Gleritilt, attempted to set fit e to a patch of heath, which being rather wet, he had recourse to his pow_ der- flisk as a stimulant; but, in the act of shaking out part of its contents, a spark ignited the whole. The explosion seriously injured Mr Murray's right hand, one of his kne. s, and oilier parts of his person ; and one of his attendants was thrown by the shock to some distance, but not hurt. Mr Murray has betn for some days under the care of Dr 11. B. Macfarlanc of Perih; and we are glad to hear is rapidly recovering. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.— On Monday evening a married female was burned to death in a most shocking manner in her own house in Kirk Street, Calton, Glasgow. It appears that she had, along with her husband, been in town the greater part of the day, and on reaching home lighted a candle, with which she had occasion to go near the bed, on whruli her husband had just Iain . flown with the children. Accidentally the flame of the candle ignited part of ihe bed clothes and the straw beneath the mattiess, on her attempting to extinguish which the fire laid hold of her own clothes, and in one instant she was enveloped in flames. Iler husband sprung from the bed and threw his apron around her, but found it impossible to repress tbe burning element, having himself been severely scorched in the attempt. The screams of the wretched victim, however, alarmed some of the neighbours, and the fire in the bed was fortunately soon extinguished, and the children taken out unhurt; but the mother expired shortly afterwards in the most inexpressible agony. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.— O n T u e s d a y , t h e 2.3th ult., as Peter Morrison, miller at Bass, near Connie, was oiling part of the machinery of li s barley mill, while in operation, his clothes happened to be taken hold of by one of the pinions, his body was thereby dragged in amidst the wheels, and, dreadful to relate, besides a severe wound on the head, one arm was torn off near the shoulder, the other broken and bruised, and one of his legs crushed to pieces. He remained fixed among the powerful machinery, impeded in its motions only Ly his body, for nearly u quarter of an hour before he was discovered by Ilis son, and the water turned off, and although the most prompt assistance was rendered by the surrounding neighbours, owing lo the peculiar construction of the mill, another hour fully had elapsed before the miserable man could be cxtricatcd, during which he was frequently heaid, amongst his groans, giving instructions to his anxious friends in their efforts to relieve him. He is still alive, but not expected to recover. We have much pleasure in noticing the appointment of Forbes Falconer, Esq. to the chair of Oriental Languages in the London University. That gentleman was lately elected member of the Asiatic Society of Paris, as a tribute to the abilities and attainments he evinced in the University of that city. While we derive extreme gratification from the distinction which our townsmen attain in other places, we cannot but regret that the meed of talent is inconsistent with their remaining amongst us.— Aberdeen Herald. Every possible refinement of Science is resorted to, by which to enhance the charms of female beauty, and to possess the virtue of sustaining the reign of loveliness against the inroads of time, climate, and disease. This desideratum is effectually attained in Rowland's Kalyilor. In all cutaneous blemishes, including Eruption, Pimples, Spots, Redness, and all Cutaneous Eruptions, Rowland's Kalydor is pre- eminently successful in eradication ; renovates the skin to more than prestine radiance, imparts tbe roseate hue of health, with elasticity and velvet- like softness equally delightful to feeling as to sight, and preserves the bloom apparently of youth even maugre the consciousness of age. These are incontrovertible facts proved by daily experience on the test of wbich Messrs Rowland cheerfully rely, satisfied that the celebrated Kalydor is of vital importance to tbe preservation of personal attraction, is unequalled by any other in existence. At Antwerp, a few days ago, a picture, about a foot high, and a foot and a half wide, was bought by a glazier of that town for ten sous. On the following market day he sold it for seven francs and a half, and the latter purchaser having ascertained that it was a Holy Family by Raphael, re- sold it to an amiteur at Bruges for 3200fr, G E T T I N G R I D OF A DANGEROUS COMPANION. — A gentleman who was proceeding from Durham towards Sunderland, alone in his gig, one day last week, overlook, in the dusk of the evening, a person on foot, having the appearance of a respectable female, who politely asked him tbe favour of a ride, which the gentleman readily granted. Soon after the vacant seat became occupied, the genlleman turned his head round to speak to his supposed female companion, when he observed a whisker on the cheek. Surprised, and somewhat alarmed at this discovery, he purposely dropped a glove on the road, and immediately drew up, requesting the stranger to be so good as alight and pick it up, as his horse would not stand to enable him to do so. This scheme had the desired effect, the person alighted, and the gentleman instantly drove off at a rapid pace, leaving his late companion at a distance in Ihe rear. On afterwards examining a reticule which had been left in the gig, the gentleman was horrified to find that it contained a brace of loaded pistols— Durham Advertiser, T h e NEW STATISTICAL ACCOUNT of SCOTLAND, published in March 1834 W. BLACKWOOD. Of the vast importance of statistical information, not merely to gratify curiosity, but to forward the progress of science, there can be no question. The facts collected by local inquirers respecting the progress of population, the state of manufactures, the rent of land, and the habits and moral condition of the people, form the ground- work of philosophy as well as of legislation ; and it is only where general reasonings are supported and illustrated by well- authenticated facts, that we can rely on their truth, and that we can act upon them with safety in the practical business of society. The important and simple object of the present work is, therefore, to collect a store of authentic information, from inquiries made on the spot, and to present a minute and accurate detail of the statistics of Scotland, in its towns and parishes, including every thing that is necessary to illustrate the progress and condition of society throughout its widely diversified districts. It is well known that a work of this nature was commenced about 40 years ago by Sir John Sinclair, which has always been referred to as a repository of accurate information ; and that the knowledge which it diffused of the state of Scotland, of its agriculture, its commerce, and manufactures, paved the way for many improvements The different clergymen throughout Scotland, each contributed an account of their respective parishes to Sir John Sinclair's work, which v.' as thus a collection of statistical facts, of which the accuracy could not be questioned. An interval of 40 years has since elapsed, during which all the productive powers of society have been developed with more than usual activity, and such changes has taken place as ren - der this account of Scotland, however true at the time, and however valuable in other respects, almost entirely obsolete. The object of the present undertaking is to present a local delineation of Scotland, as it really is, in tlie year 1834, witli all the improvements which have been introduced into every department of its social economy. It is a great and laudable undertaking, replete with important anil beneficial consequences, and, as the same means for procuring accurate information are resorted to as in the original work, we cannot doubt, that ample materials will be furnished for liberal curiosity as well as for philosophical speculation. For farther particulars, respecting tho views of those who have begun this undertaking, we may refer to the preface by Mr Gordon, secretary to the superintending committee, in which the plan and objects of the work are explained with singular judgment, force, and perspicuity. Of this work the first Number has been already published, which may be considered as in some degree a specimen of what is to follow. And the reatler will observe, in that fulness of detail— in that prodigality of useful facts, the nature of this publication ; of which the object is purely utility. In the account of the populous and commercial town of Dundee, which is rapidly rising in wealth and importance, every thing is detailed in a manner so as to satisfy the most eager inquirer regarding the population, the condition and moral habits of the people, the rate of wages, the stale of commerce, shipping, and manufactures, the state of society, the institutions of the place, commercial, literary, and religious. In short, we do not see that any one point of useful information has been neglected. Anil the same remark applies to the account of Arbroath, Brechin, and their several parishes, as well as to that of all the other parishes in this number Wo would only remark, that tbe work, besides being useful, might be somewhat more acceptable to the public, if the information were more perspicuously arranged, and if the whole were thrown together into a more connected and popular narrative. We admit this is no easy task ; and that in seeking after entertainment, we may miss tile paramount object of the work, which is usefulness. In this as in all other points of management, however, we have full confidence in the judgment of Mr Gordon, who, we understand, superintends the publication ; and who, in the able expose1 which he has made of the plan, lias given full proof of his fitness for the task. DUNSE.— At the sheep tryst here on Wednesday,' there was a middling show, consisting chiefly of Cheviot anil black- faced ewes. The demand was good. Cheviot ewes sold at from £ 1, 3s. to £ 1, 8s. ; black- faced ditto from 15s. to £ 1, 6s.; Cheviot hogs, fat, £ 1, 4s. YORK WOOL MARKET The first market t h i s season was held on Thursday last, but there being only two sheets laid down, of course there was nothing worthy of report. WAKEFIELD, March 27 The supplies are small of wheat, and moderate of all other ' descriptions of grain. The great depression of the Lancashire markets prevents any activity in tbe trade here ; our millers buy sparingly, but the scarcity of really fine fresh wheat has enabled sellers for such quality to obtain an advance of ls. per qr. ; other descriptions are without variation. Barley is precisely in value as on Friday last, though the quantity on hand is small; yet the maltsters do not purchase freely, in consequence ofthe low rates of malt. Oats and shelling steady. Beans fully as dear. Very little doing in other articles. TO MR JOHN LAING, HOYAR. HORSE BAZAAR, EDINBURGH. SIR, 109, Rose Street, March 29, 1834.

The Dead Sea, with Jericho and the Jordan, and the distant mountains, form a combination of the grand and the picturesque; and, lastly, the Ruins of Tadnor arrests the attention, not more by the power of ancient associations, than by the intrinsic merit of the design, and delicacy with which it is finished. It will also be observed that these views are faithful transcripts of those eastern scenes, being taken from draw ings by travellers on the spot, while the descriptions by which they are accompanied contain a store of in formation, geographical as weil as historical, and form a valuable accompaniment to the engravings.

The whole of the lands are inclosed, anil well known to be of a most excellent soil, either for tillage or pasture ; and as about two- thirds of the Farm have been in a regular rotation of pasture for many years past, there cannot be a more favourable entry for a tenant: Written offers in money may be lodged with Walter Cook, W.

The sheep market was quick, with an advance of 20 per cent, since last day's maiket, held at tbe same place. The cattle and horses were few in number, and some very so so beasts were to be seen amongst them, which met with a very dull sale, at prices looking downward. The first Newcastle Spring Fair, for horses antl cattle, held on Wednesday last, was much more numerously attended than could possibly have been anticipated. There was a great demand for horses for general purposes, but more particularly f'or the field, tbe saddle, and harness, which were sold for as great, if not. greater, prices than we ever remember them to have been at any of our previous fairs; in short, there can be no doubt, that this fair, when more generally known, will be equal to the fairs held in Newcastle in August or October. The show of cattle was small, but they were generally sold at tolerably good prices. At Morpeth F'air, on Thursday, there was a very large show of horses of all kinds; those fit for the saddle or harness were in demand and brought good prices, as did also good draught horses, but those of an inferior description were heavy on the market, and a great many were unsold. The show of cattle was greater than was expected, and lean steers and heifers were much looked after, and sold at high prices. Milch cows also sold well; indeed, considering the number of fairs in the neighbourhood, the show and sale were better than could have been expected.

The remainder to be shared as in the foregoing scale, with the exception of the clerk in charge, who is ttrshare as purser, but if a ship or vessel bearing a purser be present he is to share only as a clerk. Thirdly In all cases in which supernumeraries, whether officers or men, shall be borne by order ofthe Lord High Admiral, or our Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral, or by other proper authority, they shall share with the respective ranks in which they may be acting : providing always, and we do hereby direct, that no flag officer or other person not actually present at the capture or destruction of any pirate vessel, shall be entitled to share in any distribution of the proceeds or bounty in respect of the crews of such piratical ships, vessels, and boats ; and also that no flag officer cr other person who shall not have been actually on board of any of our ships, or ships of war, at the actually taking, sinking, burning, or otherwise destroying any ship or ships of war, or privateers, belonging to the enemy, shall be entitled to share in the distribution of any head or bounty- money granted as a reward for the taking, sinking, burning, or otherwise destroying any such ship or vessel. Fourthly.-— The following regulations are to be established with respect to the share before mentioned, to be given to the flag- officer or officers under whose command the capturing ship may be :— That a captain, commander, or commanding officer of a ship or vessel, shall be deemed to be under the command of a flag when he shall have actually received some order from, or be acting in execution of some order issued by a flag- officer; and in the event of his being directed to join a flag- officer on any station, be shall be deemed to be under the command of such Hag- officer from the time when he arrives within the limits of the station, and shall be considered to continue under the command of the flag- officer of such station, until he shall have received some order directly from, or be acting in execution of some order issued by, some other flag- officer duly authorised, or by the Lord High Admiral, or our Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral for the time being. ( That a flag- officer, commander- in- chief, where there is but one flag- officer upon service, shall have to his own use the one- sixteenth part of the proceeds of all prizes captured from the enemy, and of all other captures and seizures as aforesaid, made by ships and vessels under his command, and of the rewards conferred for the same, save and except as hereinbefore provided and directed. That when ships or vessels under the command of several flags which belong to separate stations shall happen to be joint captors, each flag- officer under whose orders the ships or vessels are, shall receive such proportion of the flag share to which he shall be entitled according to the number of ships belonging to each respectively. Captains or Commanders, or commanding officers of such ships or vessels as shall be under orders from the Lord High Admiral, or our Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral, being. joint captors with other ships or vessels under » flag or flags, the flag- officer is only to have his proportion of the flag share according to the number ships belonging to his squadron. That if a flag- officer be sent to command in the ports of the United Kingdom, he shall have no share an the prizes captured from the enemy, nor in the other captures or seizures as aforesaid, made by ships or vessels which have sailed, or shall sail, from that port by order of the Lord High Admiral, or our Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral, Iior in the rewards conferred for the same. That when more flag- officers than one shall be serving together, the one- sixteenth part of the net proceeds © f prizes captured from the enemy, and of the other captures or seizures as aforesaid, made by any ships or vessels of the fleet or squadron, and gf the rewards conferied for the same, shall be divided in the following proportions, namely :— If there be but two flag- officers, the chief shall have two third parts of the said one- sixteenth, and the other shall have the remaining third p a r t ; but if the number of flag- officers be more than two, the chief shall have enly one half, and the oilier half shall be equally divided among the junior flag- officers. The Commodores of the first class and Captains of the fleet shall be esteemed as flag- officers. And we do hereby further direct, that the Captains and Commanders of our ships and vessels of war shall, on making any capture or seizure, transmit as soon as may be, or cause to be transmitted, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, a true and perfect list of all the of. ficers, seamen, marines, and soldiers, and others, who were actually on board our ships and vessels of war un. tier their command, at the time of the said capture or seizure, and also of those who were absent on duty at such time ; which list shall contain the quality of the service of each person on board, together with the description o f t h e men, taken from the description books of the capturing ships or vessels, and their several ratings, ami be subscribed by the Captain or Commanding Officer, and three or more of the chief officers on board. And we do hereby further direct, that when such lists shall have been duly examined with the musterfjopks of such ships or vessels, and'lists annexed thereto, said agents in all such matters as shall be necessary. And we do direct that in case any difficulty shall arise in respect to any of the regulations hereby proposed, and not herein sufficiently provided for, the same shall be referred to our Lord High Admiral, or our Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Admiral for the time being, and their directions thereupon shall be final, and have the same force and effect as if specially provided for in our Royal Proclamation. Provided always, and we do hereby direct, that the distribution hereinbefore made, or directed to be made, shall not be construed to affect any captures or seizures made before the day of the date of this our Royal Proclamation, nor any captures or seizures which shall be made after that day, and which shall be condemned or adjudged in any of our Courts of Vice- Admiralty before notice of this our Proclamation shall have been received by the Court of Vice- Admiralty in which such condemnation or adjudication shall pass; and we do hereby, lastly, direct that the proceeds of all such captures and seizures made before the date of this our Royal Proclamation, or which will be made after that day', and shall be condemned or adjudged in any of our Courts of Vice- Admiralty antecedent to the notice of this our Royal Proclamation having been received in such Courts, tBgether with all rewards aforesaid, shall continue to be distributed in the proportions and manner directed in and by our said former Proclamation and Order respectively. Given at our Court at St James's, the 19th day of March 1834, and in the fourth year of our reign. GOD SAVE THE KING. The Gozette of Friday night contains an order of Council, puisuant to the provisions of the slavery abolition act, declaratory of the faer, " T h a t adequate and satisfactory provision hath been made by laiv in the island of Jamaica for giving effect to the said recited Oct of Parliament by such further and supplementary enaciments as therein are mentioned." This, by ihe terms of the act, is necessary in order to entitle the planters to their share o f t he twenty millions. The sixth report of the Committee on public petitions has just been printed, fiom which it appears, that the to ut number of petitions presented in the House of Commons this session to the 7th of March inclusive, is 885. Of these petitions no less than 192 are from Protestant Dissenters, praying for relief from their grievances, arid the signatures to these petitions omoutit to 31,900. The number of petitions from Ireland for the entire abolition of tithes is 113, to which 84,849 signatures are attach ed ; there are 70 petitions for a repeal of the Legislative Union, with 58,164 signatures; 49 in support of the Established Church, with 7285 signatures; 32 petitions for the better observance of the Sabbath, with 9357 signatures; 13 petitions, with 104,180 signatures, for a repeal of the Corn Laws; and 61 petitions, and 15,063 signatures, praying that no alteration may be made in those laws; th petitions complaining of agricultural distress amount to 34, with 8920 signatures. The number of petitions against the system of lay patronage in th Church of Scotland is 59, to which 50,730 signatures are attached. At a recent meeting of the Academie des Sciences in Paris, M. Puissant read the report of process which M. Gavard, Captain of the Staff, had discovered, io render the ordinary pantograph appli cable to the immediate reduction of any design whatever, upon copper plate or lithographic stone, so that the impression of the reduction may be reproduced in the same way as the original. It h hitherto been customaiv in engraving the reduction of a plan, first, to draw it on a piece of transparent paper, then to trace it on the copper with a poii. t, leaving ihc retracing of the inverted copy. M. Gavard has observed that the result may be obtained with much less trouble by affixing a lozenge formed of four ruleis joined by hinges to the pantograph, which moves with the play of the pantograph on a fixed parallel line to that of its diagonals. MANSION- HOUSE— Friday two seamen presented to the Lord Mayor an affidavit, sworn before Mr Larpent, his Majesty's Consul at Antwerp, and dated February 15, 1834, which contained an account of the shipwreck of the English brig the Dalusia, of Padstow, commanded by Mr R. Moon. The vessel sailed from St John's, New Brunswick, on the 19th of December, 1833, being laden with timber, and, after meeting with much boisterous weather, the ship was on the 31st of December blown down on her beam ends, in longitude 41 deg. 30 min., by which accident the master, Robert Moon, and an apprentice, named Fry, were drowned. The second mate, Edward Matthews, and Christopher Temereck ( the applicants), and the seven other seamen, got on the brig's broadside, v/ here they remained for two hours. Several of the masts having given way, the vessel righted, and the men got on deck, but they found every thing washed away. They were deprived of provisions and fresh water, and they remained in that distress for eleven days, during which time they had nothing but a cat, a rat, and half a dozen candles to eat. On the 9th of January they saw a barque, and they hoisted a signal, but in vain, for they almost instantly lost sight of the vessel. On the 11th following they conferred about drawing lots for one of the party to sacrifice his life to sustain the lives o f t h e remainder. They, however, declined lo fulfil this horrid act, and they prayed the Almighty to relieve them from their sufferings. The same day Robert Bray, the cook, was carried away by a heavy sea. From the 10th of January to the 16tli they had no food whatever, and their unfortunate shipmates died, the one after the other, in the most horrid fits. On the 18th following, the two applicants were saved by the American brig William Thatcher, Elisha Wood, commander. They were treated with great kindness, and landed at Antwerp. The Lord Mayor gave them a supply of money, and said he would endeavour to get them a ship. UNITED STATES— By the latest arrivals from America, it appears the embarrassment resulting from the alarm created by the President's removal of the Bank deposits, is turning some of his friends against him, and meetings have been held to express their dissatisfaction with his proceedings in reference to the Bank question. The following are extracts from tile papers detailing the steps taken in several places on the subject :— On Wednesday, 26th February, an unusually large meeting of the citizens of Philadelphia city and county, who supported tbe measures of President Jackson, but disapprove of the removal of the deposits, was held at the State House Square ; Dr Jacob Flick, one of Ihe proprietors of the American Sentinel, and a democrat of the old school, was appointed chairman. Sundry resolutions were passed, expressive of their opinions of the distress which prevails throughout the country, owing to the removal o f t h e deposits; and among them the following:— Resolved— That although we have always given to General Jackson our warm and zealous support, we do not think it incompatible with our regard for him, and the general principles of his administration, but the duty and privilege of freemen, to express our opinions that tbe removal ofthe public deposits from the Bank o f t h e United States was impolitic, unwise, and unnecessary, and has derariged the currency and paralysed Ihe industry of the country. That we believe that the removal of the deposits is part of a great scheme designed by some leading politicians to destroy the present Bank, for the purpose of erecting upon its ruins another Bank, to be located in New York, for political and speculating purposes. A resolution was now offered by B. W. Richards, Esq. preceded by some explanatory remarks, as follows, viz. : — Resolved— That as Pennsylvanians, we bail the bright example of our ancient and honourable ally, Virginia, and that we lire ready with her to rally again on the doctrines of 1798, in a vigorous effort to restrain the encroachments of executive power, to sustain the rights of the states, and the perpetuity of. our union arid its happy institutions. The whole were unanimously adopted. REVIVAL o r THE L I N E N TRADE IN IRELAND. — There is every prospect of a considerable restoration of this valuable branch of commerce to its former footing in this country, owing to the spirited determination evinced by the manufacturers in the north of Ireland to meet the English and Scotch mill- spun yarn upon its own ground. Already several spinning factories have commenced a prosperous trade, and many more are going rapidly forward. The price of flax has advanced considerably, and there can be no doubt will he in demand henceforward to supply the consumption of the numerous spinning establishments in the north. Cork Herald, ment, purporting to bind the person taking the same not to inform or give evidence against any associate or other person charged with any unlawful combination, and not to reveal or discover any such unlawful combination, or any illegal act done or to be done, and not to discover any illegal oath which might be taken. Mr Gambier, in stating the case, observed that this prosecution was founded on the statute 37 Geo. I I I . c. 123, which was passed for the more effectual prevention of administering or taking unlawful oaths, and though the preamble referred to societies , and confederacies, for seditious purposes, the enacting I part comprised all unlawful societies. The statute 39 Geo. I I I . , c. 72, designated what unlawful sociej ties were, by enacting that all combinations or confederacies, on an admission into which an oath was imposed which was not required by law, were unlawful, and should be prosecuted as directed by the 37th Geo. I I I . , and the ; 7th section provided that every engagement which imposed on the person entering into the same obligation as an oath, whatever the power of it might be, should be deemed an oath for the purposes of that statute. John Lock, a labourer, residing at Affbottle, examined— Saw the prisoner, John Brine, about Christmas last; he came to me in my master's barn, where I was thrashing, having James Hammet along with him, and persuaded me to go with them to Toolebottle. I went out with them in the evening for that purpose, when four other labourers joined us. We all went to Toolebottle. We went into Thomas Stanfield's house, into a room up stairs— While we were there, John Stanfield came in, and asked if we were ready ; some one answered that we were ; " then blind your eyes," said he. We all then tied our handkerchiefs round our eyes, and being thus blindfolded we were led into another room, where something was read to us by some person whom 1 did not know. 1 think from the reading of it, it was out of the bible; I don't recollect any part of it. We then knelt down, when a book was put into our hands and an oath administered to us. 1 don't recollect what the oath was about. We then rose up and were unblinded, when the picture of death, or a skeleton, was shown to us, upon which James Loveless said, Remember your end ! " We were then blindfolded again, and again knelt down, when something was read out of a paper, but what that was I don't remember. I kissed a book when I was unblinded first. I saw George Loveless dressed in white ; he had on him something like a parson's surplice. I saw all the prisoners there when I was unblinded. Another witness also deposed to the same facts, and several other witnesses were examined to prove that James Loveless had been an active member of the association, and that a copy o f t h e tules of the society, which was produced, was in bis possession. These rules were principally for the regulation of the conduct of the members at the meetings, and of their society, which was called " The General Society of Labourers." The object of the association was to protect the men against any redaction of their wages, and support them during a ." strike;"' and the members were enjoined to . communicate with the association whenever their masters did any thing lhat could be construed into a violation of the rights of their workmen, who were instructed to strike simultaneously, and with the utmost promptitude, whenever their demands were not acceeded to. Mr Detbishire addressed the jury for the prisoners, and contended that the act under which they were indicted was only applicable to cases of sedition, and was passed merely for the protection. of soldiers and sailors, from the seductions of persons then supposed to be conspiring for the over, throw ofthe British Monarchy on behalf of a foreign enemy. Mr Baron Williams told the jury, that if they were satisfied that an oath, or obligation tantamount to an oath, had been administered to, or imposed upon Edward Legg or Lock by means ofthe prisoners, they should find them guilty. His Lordship was of opinion, that the act referred to ail societies of an illegal nature ; and the second section of the 39th " George I I I . , c. 79, enacted that all societies were illegal, the members whereof shall, according to the rules thereof, be required or admitted to take an oath or engagement not required . or authorised by law. The jury, having deliberated half an hour, returned a verdict of guilty ; and further found that the prisoners, at the time of administering the oath, were memb. rs of a society, and bound by an oath nt t to disclose the secrets of the society. The counsel for the defendants urged, that as there was no evidence that the society was foimed for illegal purposes, his Lordship should reserve the point that the opinion of the judges might be taken on it. Mr Baron Williams took time to consider.— All the prisoners have since been sentenced to transportation for seven years. praiseworthy ; and indicate a great improvement in the motals and intellectual capacity of the builders. At last, after six months' contest, the masters triumphed : the men in penitence, returned to their work, after having spent in allowances £ 18,000. Their wages would have amounted during the same period to £ 72,000. All their grand designs are laid aside for the present. The failure of the strike was complete. The Leeds and Halifax Weavers have met with equally bad success in their strikes. They were as tyrannical in their exactions as their Lancashire brethren in the cotton trade. The Leeds Union drew up a scale of prices to be observed by. millowners, manufacturers, & c." The object of this was to compel the masters to pay equally high wages to bad as to good workmen. The masters gained the advantage in the strike which followed their resistance to this demand. The most strenuous opponents to the requisitions of the men were Messrs Hindes and Derham, of Dolphinholme ; whose workmen held out from the 1 ith September 1832 to the 2d February 1833. The invention of the wool- combing machine was the consequence of their strike : it wholly superseded the labour of the chief ringleaders, and has dealt a heavy blow at the combination. The oath said to have been imposed upon the members of the Leeds Union, is given in the pamphlet: it is of a most peremptory description. In Spitalfields, Coventry, Macclesfield, and Kidderminster, there have also been Trades Unions and strikes. The distress of the mechanics and the removal of a great portion of the trade have been uniformly the consequence of them. THE MURDER AT EPSOM At a petty Sessions held at Woolwich, before . Messrs Stace and Smith, a man named John Iteeve was placed at the bar under P R E S B Y T E R Y OF STIRLING. CHURCH PATRONAGE. At tbe meeting of the Presbytery of Stirling, oil Tuesday, Mr BROTHERSTONE moved that the Presbytery petition Parliament to repeal the act 1712, leaving it to the Church to frame such laws for the settlement of ministers as were agreeable to the word of God, and the rights ofthe Christian people. Mr CUPPLES seconded the motion. Mr DEMPSTER was deficient in knowledge as to what would be the result, if the act referred to in the motion were merely to be repealed. When Presbytery was re- established at the Revolution, the heritors, without qualification, and kirk- sessions were invested with the elective power. He did not think that that arrangement now would be the best. It would be safe, he thought, to go back to the act of the Assembly 1649, and pray the Legislature to abolish the act of 1712, and all others interfering with the Church's sole management of lier own spiritual concerns. The repeal merely of the act 1712, he doubted, would be to make the sessions patrons, and that patronage would therefore still exist, though in another shape, and such, as now, might not tend to harmony in elections ; but if all acts were remitted, prescribing modes of election, the Assembly would have it in its power to make a law securing the people's rights. It was with the Church alone that the matter rested, and if this light were guarded, he was satisfied. Mr CUPPLES, in reply to Mr Dempster's observations, said there was no doubt that if Parliament only repealed the act 1712, that of the Scottish Parliament of 1690 would come into operation, giving the power of election to heritors and elders. To this he was opposed, as these hetitors might be Roman Catholics, or any thing else. Without a modification of that act, the end would not be gained. It was the duty of the State to support and countenance the Church of Christ, but the following circumstances :— It appealed that two of j beyond this Government had no right to go, nor to in ( From the Spectator.) The public hears much of trades unions, but is very imperfectly acquainted with their organization and proceedings : for rhese societies are l, o>- « .< i t n ^ u - c . i> y oaths of secrecy, administered to the members on their admission ; and although the oaths are unlawful, very few have broken them. A pamphlet on tbe character and effects of Trades Unions recently published shows a knowledge of the subject which we have not met with elsewhere ; although the author confesses that he may be mistaken on some points, owing to the difficulty of procuring accurate information. From this pamphlet we have selected a few facts, which we presume will be new to many of our readers. The best organized and most extensive Union is that of the working cotton spinners. It has existed for more than thirty years; and in 1829, the members elected representatives who met together at Ramsey in the Isle of Man, and formed a kind of Parliament. Each village and town in the Union sent representatives to this assembly, proportionate to the population. These Parliaments passed laws, levied taxes, and printed some of their debates. The names of the speakers are generally not given ; but each member takes the name of the place he represents, and is distinguished by a - number. Thus it is said, Glasgow 1 moved, and Preston 2 seconded, such a resolution, & c. The specimen of the speeches of the orators, given in the pamphlet, is creditable to their debating powers. F'ew persons bave heard the name of Joseph Shipley. Yet this man is described as being a perfect Alasaniello. He was the leader of the most extensive and persevering strike that has ever taken place— that of 1810. More than thirty thousand persons were thrown out of employ by it. All the spinners in all tile mills in Manchester, Stockport, Macclesfield, Asliton, Hyde, and Bolton, turned out. Shipley was as implicitly obeyed by this mass of mechanics as the Duke of Wellington at Waterloo. It is mentioned as a remarkable fact, that he gave evidence to the Factory Commissioners against the Short Time Bill, and utterly denied that children became deformed by factory labour. During this great strike in 1810, the money collected weekly from the men, who still remained at work in different parts of the country, amounted to nearly £ 1500. The great object of this strike was to . compel the country masters to pay as high wages as those in Manchester ; but in not one single instance was. it attained ; and after four months of great suffering, the men all returned to their work, and in many cases at wages reduced 50 per cent. In 1829, more than ten thousand cotton- spinners again turned out. Many, . masters were shot a t ; and a Mr Ashton, as many will remember, was murdered ; the assassin or assassins have not been discovered to this day. The last great strike of the cotton spinners was in 1830; when fifty- two mills were stopped, and thirty thousand persons were thrown out of employ. They were, as. usual, obliged to yield, after ten weeks' Struggle ; and obtained no advance of wages. The committee of the cotton- spinners at Manchester is said to be armed with almost despotic power.— They not unfrequently compel men to leave their work contrary to the individual's inclination, in order to injure some employer to whom they bear ill- will. The wages o f t h e Manchester spinners have for some years averaged 30s. each, all the year round. I t is said that these partially- educated men, the leaders of the Manchester spinners, fancied that, had the Ten Hours Bill passed, one sixth more mills would have been built, to supply the deficient production. This would have created, they thought, a demand for workmen ; and thus those out of employ would have no longer drained the pockets of those who had work. If this is correctly stated, the clamour for the. Ten Hours Bill is easily accounted for. The workmen in the Building trades have formed one of the most extensive Unions in the empire. In 1833, they required their masters in Manchester to desist from taking contracts,— that is, from contracting to do the building- work for persons who had engaged to provide the whole of any private or public erection inside and outside complete. Their masters, they said, became- middle men under this system, and thus two'profits instead of one were gained out ofthe labour of the workmen. Sonie of the masters gave way, and abandoned this mode' of doing business. But the workmen continued to encroach, and in a great variety of ways tyrannized over their employers,— compelling them to employ bad and drunken members of the Union;- dictating the rate of wages, and hours of labour. The masters at length determined on resistance, and refused to employ any members of the Union. This threw vast numbers out of work, and reduced the consumption of bricks in Liverpool from one million a week to twenty thousand. The masters had very little success ill procuring fresh workmen,, as great intimidation was used towards all who presumed to defy the power of the Union. In September iast, 275 delegates met at Manchester, representing a constituency of 30,000 working builders. The expense of this session of Parliament, as they called it, was about £ 2000 ; and it cooled the zeal of the builders for more displays of this description. They determined, however, to erect a Guildhall at Birmingham, the principal room of which was to be 70 feet by 30: schools were to be established, committees were to meet, and the unemployed were to be set to work on this building. Many of their designs were in a high degree the horse patrols of Greenwich had received intorma. tion of two men who had attempted to rob a gentleman at Hendon, in Middlesex, and while on duty on Thursday night they apprehended the prisoner and a man named Richard Brown, on Shooter's Hill, on suspicion of being the parties in question. Brown, however, made an excuse to be liberated fora few moments, when he contrived to escape. In the absence of the gentleman alluded to the case could not be gone into, but a master shoemaker at Woolwich swore positively to the prisoner as being one of two men who, on Sunday evening week, stopped him in Wickham lane, Eltham, and threatened to beat his brains cut with their bludgeons unless he gave up his money. The villains were just about to carry their threat into execution as he handed them his watch and all the money he had about him, amounting only to a few shillings in silver. Upon this charge the prisoner was fully committed for trial. Previous to the examination of the prisoner various circumstances transpired which induced the magistracy and others to have a suspicion that the prisoner Reeve and his companion Brown were the two men whom tbe police had so long been in search of on the charge of murdering Air Richardson, at Banstead. One of the London constables who had been actively engaged in endeavouring to trace the murderer, was consequently sent for, and he gave it as his opinion that the prisoner answered the description given of one of the men stated to have been seen near Epsom on the day of lhe murder. SINGULAR STRATAGEM— A g e n t l e m a n from Boston relates the following singular a flair, which happened just before he left that place :— A person had been taken up and committed to prison for passing counterfeit bills. Shortly after a negro was taken up and confined in the same room, but was taken siik and died. The next day a coffin was provided, and the body put into it. As people of colour are generally interred in the evening by those of their own colour, the coffin was suffered to remain until night in the room with the moneymaker. Afler the gaoler and those who accompanied him had left the room, he bethought himself the present would be a favourable opportunity to make his escape, and thereby avoid the punish- j ment that awaited him. When all was still, he touk the corp out of the coffin and^ placed it in his own hammock, got into it himself, and turned the lid down. In the evening, the coffin was taken from the prison by four lusty negroes, and conveyed him to the burying- ground. When they arrived at the grave, the coffin was set down with care, and one of them was about making, a speech upon the death of their companion. Scarcely hod he time to u . t e r one word before the lid of the coffin flew open, and the money- maker jumped out end made his escape, whilst the poor negroes ran with great violence in all directions, screaming " de debil I de debil I de debil 1" The mistake was not discovered till the next day, and the person had not been beard of since - New York Star. terfere with its spiritual concerns.

He had been iu Stirling with a close cart, for a load of iron, and hud proceeded so fa,- os a short distance beyond Wellington Place, on the Dumbarton roal, when the horse, which was a spirited animal, became rather restive, and the young man, in endeavouring to check him, was so severely struck in the back either by one of the shafts, or by the iron, which was laid across the cart, lhat he was knocked down, when the wheel of the loaded cart unfortunate1)' passed over his breast. He rose, however, without assistance, and walked homt wards for about 100 yards, when he overtook his companion, and having told him what had happened, expressed a wish to be put into his cart, yet such was the fatal nature of the injury r e - ceived, that he hatl no sooner expressed his wish, than he immediately fell do- vn and expired. WILD DUCKS— Considt roble flocks of these birds located themselves, about a fortnight ago, in Lochar Moss, much to the delight of those who ply the demoralizing trade of poaching, and equdlv'so to the discomloit of Baron Solway's gamekeeper, who, what with gins and snares of all sorts and sizes, requires to be constantly on the qui nice. When in good condition wild ducks are unequalled in point of flavour; and hence the avidity with which they are sought after. Their numbers, however, we regret to say, bave been greatly thinned of late years, by causes which are, perhaps, not generally understood. At no remote perio I they bred in vast flocks among the reeds and sedges of every loch in the Highlands ; but from the moment Donald and his bairns discovered that their eggs when fresh aTe valuable, and might easily he converted into an article of commerce, a constant war has been waged upon the race by searching and rifling the sedges as often as the breeding season comes round. Persecution drove the capercailzie from our shores, and if the present system be continued the wild duck will be glad to follow his example, by removing to MURDER AND SINGULAR DETECTION o r THE JVruKjjEiiER— At Quansborough, in the neighbourhood of Eyre Court, a man, named Whelan, was shot when entering his house, and expired in fifteen minutes after.

He gave his friends credit for ; the goodness of their intentions ; the object they had 1 in view was the most worthy to which their efforts ! could be made subservient; it was one near the heart i of ministers as well as members of the church, that object was no other than that faithful men should be placed in the Church, and that the people should be afforded that voice in their election, to which he would say, most decidedly, they weie justly entitled. But he questioned if they possessed not that tight already. As to the act 1712, to which so much of public attention was now directed, lie observed that it was liable to various interpretations, but his own opinion of it was, that it provided for the very object contemplated by the motian now before them. As far as he understood the present law under this act, it was this, that the patron shall name the individual, but that then there were two parties to controul an improper nomination, namely, there were themselves—• the Church— and there were the people; and he held1 that the majority of a parish, without being very particular in giving their reasons, were entitled to say this gentlemen Is not qualified to edify us. If they did so, he conceived that the Church was brought to a stand ; that the Presbytery was not entitled to proceed to the investiture of the presentee in the office. A broad assertion made against the continuance of patronage was, that it was contrary to the word of God even in the modified form he had stated, but he read nothing in that word condemnatory of patronage.— From all that appeared in the Scriptures relating to the mode of election to the ministry, there was little to be gathered or. e way ot other, and it appeared to him that the divine Head of the ( hurch had left the method of appointment to be adapted to the varied circumstances of his people ; and that such courses should be followed as were conceived to be most conducive to the interests of his kingdom. As the members of this Church had already, he conceived, by the act referred to, all the power which, under any circumstances could be exercised, he conceived there was an impropriety in the step the Presbytery was about to take; to which he should not, however, offer any decided opposition. He thought it wiser to steer a middle course. He was not a friend to an unlimited patronage ; an unlimited patronage he conceived to be the greatest curse that could be inflicted, and its exer. cise the greatest disgrace to which any Church could be subjected.

The competition for cross- bred ( between Cheviot and Leicester) hogs excited great interest, not only in the neighbourhood of Lockerbie, but among the breeders and feeders of that stock in Dumfries- shire and Galloway. It is only five or six years since the crossing of the Cheviot stock on the hill faims was introduced, and already in the County— chiefly in Annaiidale— there are between 15, COO and 20,000 lambs of this sort produced annually, which are wintered cn turnips on the arable farms of Dumfries- shire and Galloway. They have obtained a reputation, and consequently a ready market in the midland counties of England ; and most of the principal lots have been sold to dealers to proceed thence in the course of this month, at from ten to eleven months old, at prices varying from 28s. to 35s. each. In fact, no sort of stock has been kept in the district which has paid so amply the breeder and feeder. It was with a view of still farther encouraging, and raising higher, the character of this important Lranch of stock that this show was proposed, under the auspices of Air Hope Johnstone, ( the liberal promoter of every improvement connected with the county,) and was cordially gone into by the sheep- breeders of the district. The show, in point of quality and condition of the sheep, fully came up to the anticipation of the numerous party of intelligent farmers who were present— The lots of 20 and 30 in each, which were exhibited, were drawn according to the regulations, out of wintering stocks of from 100 to 300, and although mostly bred trom hill farms, were remarkable for size and condition. The Judges taking these qualities, and also symmetry into account, awarded The 1st Premium of £ 6 to the lot wintered by Air Rogerson in Third of Ivirkmichaei, and bred by Air Renwick at Park. The 2d Premium to that bred and kept by Air Laurie of Terregles- town. The 3d Premium to Air Pagan of Breckonside for a lot kept in Kirkbean, and bred by Air Johnstone, Dinwoodie. On weighing the sheep alive they were found generally to run from 110 lb. to 120 lb., and two of them, which were 126 lb., were killed, and the four quarters weighed from 67 lb. to 68 lb. of mutton. One of Air Laurie's was the heaviest. It appeared that some of the lots of sheep, from which these were drown, had been partially fed on oats during the winter. The first lot had consumed to the value of Is. 3d. or Is. 6d. each— bur it was manifest to all from this experiment, that at tbe present relative ' to th* I prices of corn and sheep a vast quantity of grain might to tne jn this way be profitably employed. , . . 8_ „„„ „ „ DISE, A SES OF SHE E P STURDY.

The trial of Air Reeve was fixed for Wednesday, and the Court was crowded. Sir James Scarlett ( specially retained) with Air B. Andrews and Air Palmer, appeared for Air Reeve. The indictment charged AIR Reeve with having stolen a reticule, sovereigns, a box, and various other articles, the property of Air Pyne of London. To the charge he pleaded not guilty. Air GUNNING opened the case. He said the prisoner was charged with having stolen certain articles, the property of a gentleman of ihe name of Pyne, under circumstances of a peculiar nature. The learned gentleman then detailed the facts of the case, which have been already so frequently and fully before the public. After the evidence had been nearly gone through, The Judge intimated that it was necessary to stop the proceedings unless there was other evidence to offer. Air GUNNING said he did not know what he had further to offer. The case certainly was compressed into a very narrow conpass. The JUDGE— So narrow that I do not know what I have to leave to the jury. Air GUNNING thought there was sufficient. Sir JAMES SCARLETT s a i d Air Reeve would be anxious and ready, if thought necessary, to explain every part of this transaction ; but he submitted that there was not a title of evidence to go to the jury. TheJuGDE— There is no evidence. His Lordship proceeded— The question is whether, in taking this property, the object was to protect it for the rightful owners ? In matters pf this sort, the point for you to be satisfied of is, whether a felony was committed, and this depends upon whether you believe that the party taking these goods, took them . with a felonious intention— whether he took them as the authorised representative of the Lord of the Alanor, considering them as his of right, or whether his object was to protect the property fiom plunder ( for we all know - that there do exist a set of barbarous persons, whose object, like many of those who attend fires, is to plunder the property of the persons suffering); and it is very fit that there should be persons. for that purpose; in this case it appears that the gentleman charged with this offence is the son- in- law of Air Sims, the Lord of the Alanor, a gentleman of considerable property, for whom it appears he acted ; it was the duty of Air Sims, if he were not too old, as Lord of the Alanor, to look out and assist to protect the property of persons . that were cast on shore, or found upon a wreck. Air Reeve went there on this occasion, if we are to believe him, to protect this property. If he acted with a bona fide intention of preserving this property, then thc law, and very justly too, throws around him its shield for his protection. I cannot see, even looking over the fact that Air Reeve was acting under authority, how the felonious intent can be substantiated. It does not import us to know how the wreck was occasioned. A wreck takes place— Reeve goes on board— a body is raised from the cabin ; two bags are spoken of as having been secured ; in one of them nothing ia found, and Reeve takes possession of the other. The whele case in fact rests upon the suspicion of having taken, a small parcel of sovereigns, which it is slated he did not give up to those who were entitled to tliem. The question is, whether, under such evidence, ycu will think it right to subject a respectable person to be bianded with infamy, and to be sent out of the country, even upon simple larceny, for seven years, to which the law subjects him. The question is not whether Reeve might not have been more discreet in his conduct, and whether it would not have been better to have taken a piore prudent course, although, perhaps, under circumstances in which no eye could have been dry, it could hardly be expected that a person could have complete command over his faculties, With these facts, did the Jury think it necessary to ill the parish. The object of the motion was just to transfer the right of patronage to other hands ; to take it from the aristocracy and give it to the clergy,— it was not to give it to the people. It was a trust held for the parish, the exercise of which he should not like to see simply transferred to the clergv. To give the fight to the elders, he was sure, would lead to incessant battling and dispute, and would be far from satisfying the people; neither ought it to be left to the heritors alone, as that qualification might be possessed without, a fitness to exercise the privilege satisfactorily to the parish. It would be desirable, therefore, as a consequence of alteration, to know what the law should be.

At other times they leave the flock and may be observed wandering about or standing alone. In a few weeks after they are attacked, they exhibit the appearance of having lost their sight, or rather get into a state of stupidity, and not unfrequently drown themselves by going into any water near them. So soon as they are observed, they should be separated from the hirsel, and put into a park where they cannot injure themselves.

Air Reeve was immediately congratulated by anumber of his friends, months imprisonment which had already been awarded pgaipst. a great many delinquents, should not be found sufficient to check the mania, and that spirit ot'insubordination w hich pervaded the members of those lawless associations, to open the eyes of their victims, and restore them to habits of peaceful industry— they might depend upon it that a severer punishment would be applied, and perhaps that might be transportation beyond seas.
