All communications to be addressed to the Secretary. The Hon. FOX MAULE, Chairman. GEO. GARDINER, Secretary. Perth, April 2,1834. • _ T O THE ELECTORS OF P E E T H S H I R ET GENTLEMEN, ALMOST from the earliest period of my remembrance, though but indirectly connected with the County, my heart has beat for the freedom of Perthshire.. I have never lost an opportunity of joining the feeble efforts my situation enabled me to make, in aid of every cause which was likely to contribute to the maintenance of its independence. My powers of action, however, are. necessarily limited— so limited indeed, that I should not have thought myself justified in advancing, of my oWn accord, to Offer you my services in Parliament, on this occasion, when the choice of your Representative has again been placed at your disposal, by the melancholy cause which forces the Eatl of Onnelie to transfer bis usefulness to the House of Lords. But I have received such encouragement from thc Electors in various quarters, as displaces sonic of the obstacles which presented themselves as the most formidable against my presuming " to offer myself to your notice on my own account. 1 cannot think of putting my personal inconvenience in competition with a wish so generally expressed, and so flattering tome. Ij'ot. Can I hesitate to accept the support so generously poffered, and to request the suffrages of the general body of the Electors, to obtain for me the high distinction of representing this County in Parliament. The power is in the bands of tile constituency, who have so lately established the triumph of liberal principles over those which are exclusive and unreforming. In that contest, I went hand in hand with the liberal side; and as my principles remain the same, While I can see no manifestation of change in that portion of the constituency which gained the victory, I have every confidence, that though your new candidate has less merit, and less influence, the result will be the same, and that you will not allow the benefit of the former victory so soon to. be wrested from you, or the ancient fetters to be wound around the new constituency. For that purpose, if you allow them, there are Tory masters enough, willing enough to act, and only waiting to see, at what link tliey may venture to rivet your chain. Once more, therefore, look to yourselves. The old faction will try to be up again— I tender myself to help you to keep it down. If you prefer the former state of things, you can easily have it. But the Reform act has put into your own hands the means of being free. To a portion of the constituency I have only to offer the exertions of a known friend ; to those to whom I am not known, I hope it is. enough to offer Reform principles, and zealous and honest service. I have the honour to remain, GENTLEMEN, Your humble and very faithful servant, ROBERT GRAHAM. Lynedcch, 2d April 1834. C O M P L E T I O N OF S I R W A L T E R S C O T T ' S P O E T R Y.

We still remain in hourly expectation of some important movements to be made at Santarem. All the foreign and native forces that could be spared from Lisbon have been sent up as quickly as they could be put in readiness during this week, and others are in preparation. Ill the mean time General Baron de Sa has proceeded with extraordinary rapidity and success to expel out of Algarve all t h e enemy's forces, and has finally accomplished tire important object of securing the navigation of the Guadiana, liy taking possession of Castro Marim, whilst a small flotilla, with the flag of Donna Maria, is in possession of the river, thus depriving the enemy of one means of receiving supplies from without. The brave chief Batalha, who commands an independent and resolute body of men, on the eastern borders of xMgarve, consisting of 80 cavalry and 120 infantry, has also been instrumental in securing the banks of the Guadiana ; he defeated a party of the enemy of nearly double the force, on t h e 18th of February, near Amareleji; eightyfour of them were left dead on the field, and twenty- one prisoners remained in his hands, to. gather with a considerable quantity of arms. The Baron de Si returned to Faro on the 2d instant. The Belgian troops, which left here on the 4th instant, disembarked at Faro on the 7th, while other troops coming from Oporto were daily expected, to a considerable amount; with these new reinforcements greater events may bs very shortly expected. Admiral Napier embaiked here to- day, wilh 150 marines, while another body at St Ubes have also received orders to be ready on board tod a y ; their destination is also for Algarve. Don Miguel is said not to be now in Santarem, but to have left that place with his sister, Donna Isabel Maria, for Salvaterra, and thence lo have taken his departure for F. vora, where it is positively asserted preparations had been made to receive them ; it is also said- that he was upon his road lo Beja, but hearing of the movements in Algarve, he had suddenly returned. The Miguelite forces in Santarem, or " the army of operations upon Lisbon," as it is termed, is no longer commanded iiy General Povoas, whom Don Miguel has exonerated from this charge in consequence of age and infirmities, and General Lemos, who lost the last battle, is put in his place. His former General, Macdonald, still remains at Figuiera, waiting an opportunity of leaving that port. He had made applications here for a British ship to take him away, end accordingly the Savage brig of war was sent by the Admiral f'or that purpose, but it was to be upon condition that he would no longer interfere in the affairs of the Peninsula. To this, however, he would not pledge his word, and accord iug'v he remains at Figuiera. He is believed to be still in the interest of Don Miguel, or of Don Carlos, which is much the same thing. Many desertions continue to take place from the enemy " daily. On Wednesday Colonel I. npez Malta, who had been commander of the 10th regiment of cavalry in Miguel's service, having abandoned the usurpation, presented himself to serve in the cause of Donna Maria, and was accepted. During the months of January and February, the number of those who have voluntarily come over from the enemy amounts to nearly 400. CARTAXO, March 15 All announces that Don Miguel intends to try again his fortune in the field, f'or his pioneers have been employed for the last two davs in repairing the cross- paths on our right, from Santareni to Azambujeira, & c. Though his forces are greater than ours, I am confident he will meet wilh the same reception he did on the 18th February. But mark it, though the intentions of Dan Miguel were suspected," the few reinforcements that at last arrived from Belgium were sent to Algarves! It is Brigadier L^ mos and a French officer who now command the army ofl Don Miguel. Don Miguel is removing his depots from Tancos, Barquinha, & c. to Abrantes; so that if he fails, as I anticipate, in his intended attack, it is evident he will retreat to that fortress. Some volunteers of Lisbon, who abandoned Don Miguel this same morning, say that he may muster, in and out of Santarem, about 17,000 men. Napier is anxious lo co- operate with us, by sending some armed boats lo Vallada, but he is always opposed by the Minister of the Marine, who is an officer of the royal engineers, and of course quite a stranger to sea service. LISBON, March 15.—( Private letter.)— Mr Crotty, lale an officer of the Lancers, was shot during the night between the 13th and 14th instant. Mr Hamilton, also an officer in the Queen's service, received half a dozen, though only slight, bayonet wounds, on the same occasion. A species of inquest is now in progress to inquire how the deceased came by his death, who inflicted the fatal wound, and whether the infliction of it amounts to the crime of afoul murder and assassination, to manslaughter, or simply to a justifiable homicide. The proceedings are conducted by the British Judge Conservator ( a Portuguese), Mr Meagher, the acting British Consul, attending the same at the special desire of Lord Howard de Walden," who is determined to take up this horrible case, and sift the evidence to the bottom. Such a catastrophe lias excited the deepest sensation amongst the British part o f t h e community, and great indignation and exacerbation of feelings among the British and French officers in particular. But as the Portuguese law allows one month for this inquiry, to which only a few hours were devoted yesterday, and as this investigation with closed doors was then already adjourned to Monday, I consider myself bound to communicate what has transpired to satisfy public curiosity thus far. Mr Crotty was a tall good- looking young man, apparently twenty- four or twenty- five years of age, with light hair and moustaehios, and had resigned his commission previous to the regiment leaving Oporto, where he was said to have often, for want of cavalry employment, taken a turn in the batteries or infantry piquets, and repeatedly volunteered his services upon his arrival in Lisbon, lie was waiting here only for a settlement of his account, and the payment of a horse he had ce. Ied to Government, when receiving remittances from his family, and being urged to return immediately, whether paid or not, he was to have em. barked the next day for England, and bad for this purpose already taken out his passport from the Consul's office. But the night previous to his being shot he unfortunately joined a party of his brother officers at Schulcr's Tavern, at the bottom of Rua das Flores, near St Paulo's Square, where the bottle is stated to have circulated pretty freely at supper. A Mr Trundle, late First Lieutenant of the Portuguese Corvette ( recently liberated from imprisonment in the Castle of St George, for being one of a party that threw a bottle on the stage of the Theatre of St Carlos), wished to join them, when Dr Scantlin, surgeon o f t he British marines, opposed his admission, on the ground of his being troublesome, and having been turned out the evening before; they came to high words, and eventually to blows, wiien Mr Trundle was ejected. Mortified aud enraged at this treatment, Trundle went to the guardhouse or Caes de Sodre, close by, and represented that he had been assaulted by a party of British officers, intending to go over to the Miguelites, who were singing royalist songs, and crying " Viva Don Miguel,'' requesting the guard to protect him and the public peace, and to take up the offenders. A few men were accordingly sent with him to quell the riot. On their arrival they were assaulted in their turn, some of them wounded in the scuffle, and the whole party disarmed. Mr Hamilton, a British officer, received some pricks with the bayonet during the fray, which must have been slight enough, as, instead of running him through, none of them appear to have penetrated deeper than one inch.- The party broke up. It was r. ow past midnight. The last intelligence obtainedofMrCrotty was his parting from Mr Cornwall, an officer, who resided in that vicinity ; and about ten minutes after Mr Cornwall had closed his door, he heard the shot fired which killed Crotty, who must have remained during that interval in the street, leading to his lodgings close by, kept by one of Baron Zintillus' servants. Mr Laurie, a young officer o f t he Don John, who had been billeted, and was going to the tavern, saw the shot fired, and met six or eight of the commercial corps, none of whom appeared to him to be going to the spot from whence the flash issued. . Mr Crotty's corpse was found with one hand in his pocket, and the other extended, a ring being on his linger. He was lying on his face, the ball having entered his neck from behind, and shattered his jaw.— The wound wa » large, as if caused by a musket ball, m l apparently fired from a higher position. A pocket- book was found upon his person, containing his passport, some letters, and ten moidores in paper money ( about ten or twelve pounds) which was untouched. . On the part of the officers, it is alleged that the shooting of Mr Grotty was a foul and deliberate murder, committed by the commercial corps, from vindictive feelings at their comrades having been disarmed, which made them wreak thtir vengeance on the first British officer they met. Some ofthe Portuguese, however, attributed the deed to one of liis own party, and as Trundle, t h e individual ejected, departed early next morning to St Ubes, by land, after crossing the Tagus in a boat, and looking dejected when passing under the stern of a British merchantman, this circumstance seemed f'or a moment to give- an air of probability to the Conjecture, which . vanished, however, speedily, as Trundle was not known to have had any fire- arms, and would scarcely have carried his vindictiveness so far. An article in the Periodico dos Pobres admitted the killing of Crotty by the Commercial Corps. It was pleaded, in extenuation, that these guards were called in by one of the British officers to quell the riot; that tliey had acted with forbearance, as the nature of Mr Hamilton's wounds would show ; that they had been ill- treated and disarmed, and would rather have remained in their beds, or guard- house, than to meddle in a drunken quarrel not concerning themselves. The remains of Mr Cotty were interred yesterday. His funeral was attended by the British Acting Consul, and a great number of British and French officers ; but, as he was no longer in the service, no military honours, such as three salvos, & c. were done to his obsequies. The Government had doubled the guards, cavalry patrolled the streets, and every thing went off with perfect decorum and quietness ; some of the merchantmen hoisted their colours half- mast, and more of the British naval officers would have attended, had it not been exercising day on board his Majesty's ships in the Tagus. Two hundred F'rench troops this evening landed from the Algarves, being relieved by the Belgians. The Polish General Bern refused to embark in the Carroll for England, demanding 60,000 francs for bis expenses. He was paid a small sum, and blockaded in his house, an order having been issued for his imprisonment in the Castle; but the demand being arranged, the guard, horse and foot, were withdrawn. Brigadier- General Bacon continues with the army, but most of his English officers have resigned. RUSSIA. St Petersburgh, March 12. The accounts from the interior of the empire become more and more favourable. In consequence of large supplies of corn that arrive from all quarters, provisions have fallen considerably in price in the provinces where the distress was the greatest. The humane measures of the Government have been every where seconded by the public charity, and the greatest exertions have been made to rekeve the distress of the poorer classes. Our journals are full of accounts of patriotic gifts, as well of numerous individuals as of public bodies. An article in the Al'gemeine Zeitung, dated from the Polish frontiers, affirms that final sentence is passed on the authors of the Polish revolution. We believe ihat we may affirm that this statement is premature. As far as we have been able to learn from an authentic source the investigations are indeed closed, and it may therefore be expected that sentence will soon be passed. The same article insinuates that the inhabitants of Warsaw had been obliged to contribute the large sums required for the fortifications of the city ; to which wo reply that the expense for the erection of the citadel of Warsaw is defrayed out of the general revenue of the kingdom of Poland, and that no new burdens have been imposed on that acccount either in the city of Warsaw, or any other part of the kingdom. The correspondent , of the Allgemeine Zeitung further states the garrison of Warsaw at thirteen regiments of infantry, and four regiments of cavalr y ; to which we must reply that in the whole kingdom of Poland there are only 12 regiments of infantry and 4 of cavahy— cossack9 necessary to guard the frontiers. • « <.' PRUSSIA. Berlin, March 14. The late debates in the British House of Commons on the c > rn laws, have excited great interest here, for they affect Prussia more than any other country; since they have been in force, the ports, of Dantzic and Konigsberg, which previously were so animated and wealthy, have become disturbed; and the price of land has fallen upwards of a fourth; and, as the commerce of the interior of Poland is annihilated, the progressive decline of this hitherto flourishing province need create no surprise. Notwithstanding all the efforts made by the Government to revive by other means the expiring prosperity, it is easy to discover that as the geographical position and the productions of the country cannot be changed, its former opulence cannot be recovered until exportation to England and the communications with Poland are re- established. Mr Hume and Mr Thompson said, the only question was how long it should be before the corn bill should be abolished ; and this language proves t h a t, in all probability, the Government will not be able to postpone the repeal of this bill; for it becomes a question of vital importance to the manufacturing interests, which are the more closely connected with it on account of the Prussian system of customs, which is clearly more and more threatening and injurious to commerce. We may, therefore, entertain a hope, which is warranted by the declarations of the Ministers, that the corn laws will be abolished, or at least modified, and that in consequence the commerce of Prussia will be greatly increafed. LONDON, M A R C H 31. The answers to the very numerous inquiries al Kensington Palace yesterday, were that the P r i n - cess Victoria was much better, and nearly convalescent. The late harsh winds have been unfavourable to the asthmatic attack of the Duke of Sussex, who generally suffers from the complaint at the beginning; of the spring; but his hoarseness has left his Royal Highness, and his cough gradually decreases as the weather gets mild. A select party of fashionables, including several members of the corps diplomatique, left their residences on Saturday to spend part of the holidays with the Duke of Wellington, at Strathfieldsaye. Among the visitants of his Grace are— the Earl and Countess Tankerville, Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, Viscount Ossulston, Lord and Lady Cowley, Earl of Rosslyn, & c. Dispatches, dated the 2 1 s t ' o f March, were received this morning at the Colonial Office, from Lieutenant- General Sir William Houstoun, the Lieutenant- Governor at Gibraltar; from Major- General the Hon. Sir Frederick Ponsonby, the Lieutenant- Governor at Malta; from Lord Nugent, the Lord High Commissioner o f t h e Ionian Islands; and from the British Consul at Cadiz. Francis Douce, Esq., tho most tasteful and eminent antiquary of our times, died at his house in Gower Street, Bedford Square, yesterday morning. Douce was the friend of Stevens, Reed, Malone, Wm. Gifford, and Sir Walter Scott. He has left behind him an invaluable library, printed and in manuscript, of early English, French, Spanish, arid German poetry, coins, medals, missals, and prints. I t is rumoured at the Clubs, that if Mr Ashley Warre should be appointed the new Lord of Ihe Treasury in the place of Mr Kennedy, the Conservative party at Hastings will start M r Planta, the ex- Secretary to the Treasury, as a candidate for the representation of the borough, in opposition to Mr Warre. Mr Planta has an estate near Hastings, called Fairlight Place, and for several years sat for the borough in Parliament. RUINED GAMESTER.— At tiie corner of a wellknown court, not far from St James's Palace, may be frequently seen standing, attired ill the lowest garb of poverty, a wretched- looking little man, who asserts that he has been pillaged of upwards of L. 80,000 in the various dens of infamy with which the neighbourhood abounds; and that he comes there in the generally hopeless expectation of subsisting upon the casual bounty of those by whom he has been thus pillaged. A few days since he as sured the writer of this that he had not tasted fool for two days, an assertion which his hasgard appearance seemed to confirm.— Morning Herald. I t is generally reported that the two celebrattd Correggios in the collection of Lord Londonderry have been purchased at the price of eleven or twelve thousand pounds for the National Gallery. The history of these pictures is somewhat curious. There is good reason to believe that they were originally in ihe collection of Charles the First, and solJ by the republic to an agent o f t h e King of Spain. During the invasion of that country, Murat, by purchase we conclude, possessed himself of them, and they were subsequently removed to Naples. On his death they were claimed by his widow of the Congress at Vienna as private property, and the claim was allowed. Lord Londonderry, then Ambassador, purchased them o f t h e ex Queen, and here they are, after journeying about for nearly Iwo centuries, ill th ® National Gallery of T H E TRADES' UNIONS.— Saturday m o r n i n g a deputation, consisting of several members of the Trades' Union, waited unon I. ord Melbourne, in South Street, pursuant to a resolution passed at a meeting of the working classes the preceding evening, when it was resolved to present a petition to the King, " Praying that he will be pleased to remit the sentence passed upon the six members of the Agricultural Union, at Dorchester." The deputation was courteously received by his Lordship, who, after having made various inquiries respecting the nature and character of the different unions, and having received the petition, informed the deputation that he would take immediate measures to iay the same before his Majesty ; at the same time he assured the deputation, that until his Majesty's pleasure was known in relation to the prayer of the petition, the Government would delay putting in force t h e punishment on Ihe men. The deputation retired, having received this assurance. We learn from a correspondent that the Trades' Unions are spreading to a fearful extent in this county. Unless means be found to suppress the secret societies forming in the different provinces of the kingdom, no man's life or property can be safe for a moment; and England may expect ere long the same sanguinary measures that are at once the disgrace and terror of the Irish people.— Somersetshire Gazette. In the French Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, M. Roger, in arguing against the extraordinary grant for the War department, said that he could see no necessity for the augmentation of the naval force, particularly when the Ministry had declared themselves perfectly satisfied with the state of things in the East of Europe. To which the Minister of War replied that it was for the purpose of maintaining a respectable naval force in the Mediterranean ; not that any apprehension existed in regard to the affairs of the East, in respect to which existing relations were not unfavourable, but the general question not being yet resolved, government thought it its duty to he prepared for any event that might happen. It was under that point of view that the government had decided to propose that the naval force should be maintained upon the same footing as in 1833. Papers from Hamilton, Upper Canada, to the 6th of February, have arrived. The provincial Legislature had granted a farther loan of L. 50,000 towards completing the Welland Canal, by which means a ship navigation, would be opened from the Atlantic to the bead waters of Luke Huron ; but the House had thrown out the bill introduced to authorise the purchase of the property from the shareholders. Lord Wodehouse, who has attained his 94th year, is the father of the House of Peers. Lord Stowell is next in age to this venerable nobleman, having, we believe, reached his 89th year. There are nearly seventy Peers in the House of Lords be. tween 76 and 80 years of age. Thete is understood to be a plan in progress, devised by Mr John Martin, the celebrated painter, for materially improving and beautifying the banks of the Thames from Vauxhall Bridge to some distance below the Tower on the north side, and to Rotherhithe or thereabouts on the soulh ; and this plan, if carried into effect, will give an opportunity for the construction of those public walks which are justly held to be so necessary to the health and comfort of the inhabitants of the metropolis. The main purposes of the plan are to preserve the River from being polluted by the contents of the sewers which are now discharged into il, and to collect those contents for manure; a manure of the most valuable kind, but at present lost, and at the same time productive of positive mischief. To effect this object, M r Martin proposes to construct two large sewers, one on each bank, which shall receive all the matters now emptied into the Thames, and convey '' them lo receptacles below the city, whence they may be taken in boats, properly contrived to prevent the escape of offensive effluvia, and conveyed by canal or river to the country. This certainly seems to be a better manner of getting rid of the subject matter than drinking it— Westminster Review for April. T H E AMERICAN TRADE The u n p a r a l l e l e d embarrassments amongst the commercial classes ofthe United States, have produced a great stagnation in the trade between this country and that recently flourishing republic. The numerous failures which have occurred in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and the other cities of the union, have been felt both directly and indirectly in England. Directly in their effect on individual firms, and indirectly in their effect on the general state of credit. There is, of course a great indisposition on this side of the Atlantic to risk goods, or to enter into commercial transactions at present,- in a country in which undoubted solvency and unblemished integrity are no securities against embarrassment and ruin, and the commercial classes on the other side find too much difficulty in meeting their engagements in the present disordered state of trade and suspension of credit, to have either disposition or ability to extend their concerns. Thus the prospects of a vast and profitable trade with the United States, which only a few months since seemed so bright, have been clouded, and it is impossible to tell when the cloud will pass away. A rancorous spirit of party seems to have destroyed every thing like reasonableness in the Government. Under these circumstances, the close and intimate connection between the American Republic and the British Empire, compels us to endure a considerable share of the inconvenience resulting from the embarrassments of our trans- Atlantic friends and customers. The exports of iron, woollen goods, cutlery, hosiery, and we have no doubt of all other articles, have received a severe check, from which they will not recover until the Americans and their Government recover their senses. When that will be it is impossible to guess, for up to the latest accounts, the exasperation of all parties seems only to be increased by the increasing misery of every class of the people. Each party lays the blame on the other, and none does any thing to restore public or private confidence.— Liver. pool Times. 19th May 1808; succeeded to a troop 12th December 1811; received the brevet of Major 21st January 1819, being especially Gazetted as obtaining that rank " for distinguished service in the field ; " became Major of the 8th hussars, by purchase, on the 28th October 1824; and Lientenant- Colonel unattached, also by purchase, on the 21st November 1828.

VV Passed by the London, Pickering, from Bombay, sailed 10th October, and Cape of Good Hope 29th December. PORTSMOUTH, March 29 The Conway, [ 28 guns, Captain Eden, was appointed to sail from Rio Janeiro to the Pacific, on the lst of February, and to visit the Society and other South Sea Islands, in which places it was found that the presence of a ship of war was frequently much wanted. The Blonde, 46, Commodore F'. Mason, C. B. ( with the Marquis of Sligo and family on board, for Jamaica), touched at Madeira on the 7th instant. The Talbot, 28, was lying in Simon's Bay ( with the flag of Admiral Warren) on January 8. The Upton Castle, Captain Duggan, for Bombay ( with Sir John Keane on board), after being detained thirteen weeks at this port and seventeen days at sea, arrived at Madeira on the 3d, and sailed again on the 5th instant on her voyage. The Sesostris had also arrived and sailed from Madeira, for the Cape. FALMOUTH, March 26.— The Melville packet, which was off'the port last evening, came in early this morning. She sailed from Halifax the 9th inst., and brings no news of a political nature; but we learn by her that the Thais packet, commanded by Lieutenant Charles Church, R. N., which sailed from here the 12th of December last, had not arrived out, and no hope of her safety can therefore be entertained. When the Melville sailed, a frigate was about to sail to Sable Island to endeavour to ascertain whether the Thais had been wrecked there or not. The Eclipse packet had arrived previous to the sailing of the Melville. F'ALMOUTII, March 27 Wind W. S. W . to W., fresh breezes and squally Sailed the Williams, Clark, for Bombay.

SUPPOSED CREW OF THE DIAMOND.— This trader sailed from Jersey for this port three weeks since. On Wednesday, the 19th inst., an open boat was discovered by the preventive station men, having been driven on shore the preceding night near Berry Head, wherein were four men, two dead, and. the other two so ex hausted that they were immediately removed to Brix ham Workhouse, where they expired. F'rom the appearance of the men ( Frenchmen), and the boat, suspicion o f t h e fate of the vessel became excited, as no accounts have arrived concerning her.— Plymouth Journal. T H E RIGHT HON. GEO. EARL OF GALLOWAY, K . T . , ADMIRAL OF THE BLUE This nobleman died at Hampstead, on Thursday last. He was a descendant of Sir J . Stewart, who succeeded Sir William Wallace in the chief command of the Scots, and was killed at the battle of Falkirk, July 22, 1298. His Lordship entered the naval service about 1780, under the auspices of his uncle, Commander Keith Stewart, and was present at the battle off'the Dogger Bank, in 1781, and the relief of Gibraltar, 1782. Having served as Lieutenant in ths Aquilon frigate, he was made Commander into the Vulcan fire ship, from which vessel he was promoted to Post rank in 1793. He next served in the Sheerness, and subsequently commanded the Winchelsea, in which ship he was wounded whilst covering the disembarkation of tbe troops at Guadaloupe, April 11, 1794. In 1794 he was removed into the Lively frigate, in which ship he was present in the battle of St Vincent, and brought home the dispatches. He afterwards commissioned the Hussar, and commanded the Bellerophon and Ajax line- of- battle ships. He sat at the Board of Admiralty for a short time during Lord Barham's naval administration. He obtained his flag in 1810, and has not been employed since. The Earl married, in April 1797, Lady Jane Paget, daughter of the late and sister of the present Marquis of Anglesey. who voted for the obnoxious law will be sure to lose their seats. If the indignation of the people evaporate through this channel, it will be fortunate. At present they do not seem to have any real grievances, and no ground for political discontent. They have every reason to be content with the free Government which they have at length acquired after years of turmoil, agitation, and trouble ; and the better class of society in France duly appreciate, we have no doubt, their present blessings, and would look with horror on any new revolution. I t would be desirable that in those circumstances Louis Philip should pursue a wary course, and while the people are enjoying the solid blessings of peace and freedom, that he should not needlessly irritate them by p e t t y grievances. By the Napoleon, Smith, arrived at Liverpool, we have received New York papers to Saturday the 8th of March. The most important intelligence which they contain is, that the Committee of Ways and Means, in the House of Representatives, has published a report sanctioning the whole of tbe President's conduct with regard to the Bank of the United States. The Committee expresses its approbation of the withdrawal of the deposits, recommends that the Bank should not be re- chartered, that the deposits should not be restored, that the public money should remain in the Stale Banks, and that a rigorous inquiry should be instituted, not only into the general conduct of the Bank, but also as to " whether it had any agency through its management or money, in producing the existing pressure." A counter report in favour of the Bank, and of course in opposition to the Government, has been agreed to by the minority of the Committee of Ways and Means, and was presented to the House by Mr Binney. Il has been ordered that 15,000 copies of each of the reports should be published, and that the debate upon them should commence on Wednesday the J2th of March. The effects of the report agreed to by the majority of the committee will, it is thought, be to prevent the adoption of any steps for the restoration of public credit, to embroil the Senate and House of Representatives, and to confirm the President in his hostility to the Bank.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, March 31 The arrivals of wheat and flour from Ireland continue large, but of other articles of the com trade the supply has this week been very moderate. On Tuesday, with a very limited business, a decline of 2d. per bushel was noted on prices of wheat, the best Irish red not exceeding 6s. 2d. and good runs 5s. 8d. to 5s. lOd. per 70 lbs. At about these rates one or two parcels have since been taken on speculation, a little has also been retailed to the dealers, but the trade has still been exceedingly inanimate. Flour has sold with difficulty at 38s. to 39s. for choice, and 34s. to 36s. for good marks of Irish. Oats are scarce, and fully maintain their previous value, the best West of Ireland being worth 2s. 6id. per 45 lbs. Oatmeal still moves slowly at 21s. to 22s. per load.

Letters and papers have been received this afternoon from New York to the 10th inst. They state that in commercial matters, affairs remained in a very unsatisfactory state. Siveral additional failures had occurred in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, and money remained extremely scarce. There was rather a better demand for the United States Bank shares, which had risen to 103. The Exchange on London was quoted at from 2 to I J per cent, discount. Trade, as a matter of course, remained extremely dull, and from appearances when the advices were dispatched, there was little chance of a speedy improvement. By the Dutch mail, intelligence has been received from the Russian capital to the 16th inst. It would appear that the Emperor of Russia is adopting measures to render the army more complete, and directions bad been given for reorganizing several divisions with a view to increase the forces of t h e empire to their full compliment. The weather continued severe. The Exchange on London was at lOd. 21- 32. The private letters obtained from Lisbon to- day, state that the Duke of Terceira was about to proceed to Oporto, to from a junction, if possible, with the forces under Napier, with a view of attacking Figueira, the only port which the Miguelites had in their possession. From the position of the Pedroite forces, it was believed that the supplies would be al. together cut off from Don Miguel, and consequently that farther opposition on his part would soon be useless. The Consol Market has remained during the whole or the day in a very tranquil state, indeed, speculation has been extremely languid. Consols for Account opened at 91 buyers, and remained at that quotation up to the close of business this afternoon. In Money Stock to- day, there was very little business done. Exchequer Bills and India Bonds remain at about the same quotations as they were at on Saturday. This was settling day at the Foreign Stock Market, but as far as we understand, no failures have occurred, although the fluctuation in Spanish Bonds, within the last fortnight, has amounted to full six per cent, antl in Portuguese Bonds to nearly five per cent., the differences, which were extensive, had been met.

The 60th Rifles remain for the present, as also the 5th Dragoon Guards. The service companies of the 83d regiment do not embark for Cork for another week. The route for the 14th Light Dragoons to proceed from Dublin for Longford, & c. has been countermanded, and postponed from Monday till Tuesday next. On the latter day two troops of this regiment will leave Portobello Barracks and proceed for Gort. The next day, Wednesday, two troops will march for Athlone. On Thursday, two troops will march for Longford, the head- quarters. By the demise of Major- General Farquharson, the Lieutenant- Governorship of the Island of St Lucia has become vacant. General Farquharson for many years commanded the 25th, or Ring's Own Borderers, and obtained the rank of Major- General the 22d of Jtily 1830. Another victim to the unhealthiness of this island, was the late lamented General Stuart of Garth, who went out as Governor, in 1830, and died a few weeks after his arrival. The cause of this insalubrity is to be attributed entirely to the hitherto uncultivated state of the island. Owing to its unsettled condition, Major- General Mackie, who succeeded General Stuart, also fell a victim to the climate soon after his arrival. The 77th regiment will, it is calculated, arrive at Portsmouth early in May from Jamaica, after being relieved by the 78th from Cork. COLONELCY OF THE F I F T E E N T H HUSSARS The appointment of Lieut.- Colonel Lovell Badcock, to the 15th Hussars has given the greatest satisfaction. This selection is viewed by the service as an additional guarantee of the earnest desire of the General Commanding- in- Chicf to employ experienced officers in preference to mere holiday soldiers, whenever the difficulties thrown in the way of such arrangements by the Cabinet can be surmounted. We know that the most strenuous exertions were made to obtain the vacant regiment for more than one of the young scions of Whig nobility who have been pushed forward by family interest and the sacrifice of large sums of money, to the unattached Lieut.- Colonelcies, after a peace campaign of some six or seven years at the different cavalry stations in the United Kingdom. Lord Hill has, however, in this instance, steadily resisted all interference with his privilege of recommending to the King the successor to Lord Brudenell. The delay which lias occurred in announcing the appointment, arose from the necessity of awaiting the arrival of the steam packet from Lisbon, with the reply of Colonel Badcock, as t i his being disposed to pay the regulated difference (£ 1675) which Lord Brudenell receives as a matter of course upon returning to the half pay list, his Lordship having paid the same to Colonel Thackwell, whom he succeeded in March 1832. Lieutenant- Colonel Badcock has perhaps seen more real service than any other field officer of his standing, he having been present with that most distinguished regiment the 14th light dragoons, in the battles of Talavera, Fuentes d'Onor, THURSDAY, A P R I L 3. Recent advices have been received from Lisbon to the 17th instant, at which period the respective armies occupied the same positions; and there was no appearance on either side of offensive operations. The death of an Irishman of the name of Crotty, formerly an officer in the Portuguese regiment of lancers, has excited a great sensation among the British at Lisbon. He ap. pears to have been assassinated by the Portuguese guard. The matter is under the investigation of the proper authorities. So contradictory are the accounts received respecting the relative strength of the two armies, that we can form no conjecture respecting the events of the approaching campaign. I t is mentioned that Don Miguel has 11,000 infantry at Sanlarem, and 575 cavalry ; that his intention is to make another attempt on Lisbon; and in the event of his not succeeding, to retire from Santarem to Elvas. The Paris papers are chiefly filled with speculations on the law which has recently passed the Chamber of Deputies against political societies ; and this law appears indeed, as was to be expected, to have excited great discontent throughout the count r y . The measures pursued by t h e Government of Louis Philip, though it was established on a wide basis of popular freedom, are far from being consistent with this principle. This law in particular is tyrannical in its provisions ; so t h a t many of the furious zealots for liberty have declared their intention cf openly resisting it. But there will be no necessity for such extremities, as it may be more easily evaded. The t r u t h is, that it is extremely difficult in a free country to frame those restraining laws with sufficiently rigorous provisions ; and thus it happens that the law may, by any expert agitator, be complied wilh in the letter, and violated in its s p i r i t ; or if this is not practicable) f h e objects prohibited by the law will be attained in a manner that does come within the exact scope of its provisions ; and thus the ingenuity of agitators has always proved an overmatch for the vigilance of those restraining laws, however they mav be multiplied. But one effect this French law against associations will produce, namely, deep irritation among the people. It will add to the unpu- SCOTCH PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. The following are the clauses of a bill brought into the House of Commons by the Lord Advocate, " To abolish the office of Recorder of the Great Roll or Clerk of the Pipe in the Exchequer in Scotland." By an act passed in the 6th year of Queen Anne, the office of Recorder of the Great Roll or Clerk of the Pipe was established in Scotland in like manner as that and other offices were then established in the Court of Exchequer in England. By an act passed in the 2nd and 3rd years of his present Majesty William the 4th, " to provide for the examination and audit of the Customs and Excise Revenues in Scotland," it was provided, that the accounts of revenue of Excise in Scotland should be comptrolled and audited with the accounts of the Excise revenue in England ; and further, that the accounts of tbe revenue of Customs in Scotland should be audited in the same manner as the accounts of revenue arising in England are directed by law to be audited. Another Act in the same year was passed " to authorise the hereditary land revenues of the Crown in Scotland being placed under the management of the Commissioners of the Land Revenues," the accounts relating to such revenues in Scotland are therefore directed to be transferred to the said Commissioners, and audited in the same manner as the other revenues under their management. And whereas by the said Acts, a great part of the business of the office of Recorder of the Great Roll or Clerk of the Pipe in Scotland has been transferred, together with the auditing the accounts, to offices in England ; and whereas John Archibald Murray, Esquire, the present Recorder of the Great Roll or Clerk of the Pipe in Scotland, who has a life interest therein, has signified his desire to surrender his intfcrest'in the said office without compensation ; and whereas it is expedient that the said office should be abolished, it is enacted that from and after the lst of January 1835, the said office shall cease and determine, together with all salary, fees, or other emoluments theretofore receivable in respect thereof— and that the powers and authorities now vested in the said office, shall, from and after the 5th of January 1835, be transferred and vested in the Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer of the Exchequer of Scotland for the time being, who is hereby required from and upon that day to perform all the duties of the Clerk of the Pipe. tained that the appellant had no right to use the level which runs through his ( the respondent's) lands in carrying off the water which arose from the working of the coal- pits. The point for his Lordship to decide was, whether or not appellant had this right. In pronouncing the word Pitgobar, which frequent* ly occurred in the learned doctor's pleadings, T h e LORD CHANCELLOR said, the word i s " P i t - gober," not " Pitgobar;" for you see, Dr Lushington ( said his Lordship), the Scotch know how to pronounce, and they don't call " er" " a r , " more than you call " butter" " buttar" ( laughter). Dr LUSHINGTON : My Lord I have been of late thrown on my beam- ends with regard to pronunciation ; for I heard the other day a high authority in the House of Commons call " anecdote" " annecdote," so that I may be excused if I am at a loss as to the pronunciation of Pitgober. T h e LORD CHANCELLOR : Yes, b u t t h a t a u t h o r i ty was not a Scotchman. Dr LUSHINGTON : No, my Lord, he was an Irishman ( laughter). T h e LORD CHANCELLOR : T h a t makes all t h e d i f - ference. The learned doctor having concluded his speech, the Lord Chancellor called on the Attorney- General to proceed with his arguments for the respondent. T h e ATTORNEY- GENERAL— My Lords, I am perfectly ready to proceed with the argument, but before I do so, I must request your Lordships to allow me to make a preliminary observation as to the right of precedence at your Lordships' bar. I wish to know if the King's Attorney- General of England or the Lord Advocate of Scotland take precedence in the hearing of Scotch appeals. With respect to myself, personally, I shall be most happy to give precedence to my learned friend, the Lord Advocate, but holding the high office I do under the Crown, 1 cannot allow any of its dignities to be sacrificed. It had always been supposed that the King's Attorney- General in all cases took precedence, but latterly that privilege has been doubted. T h e LORD CHANCELLOR— The question of precedence was argued at great length twenty years ago, when it was settled by general consent of the Civil and Common Law Courts, that the King's Advocate- General Should lead the Attorney- General; in fact, that he shquld lead the whole Bar. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL— After that decision, my Lords, there was a difficulty as to whether or not the Attorney- General was entitled to lead the King's Most Ancient Sergeant. T h e LORD CHANCELLOR— Yes, t h a t was t h o u g h t a question of such importance, that the Crown issued a warrant to have it settled, when it was decided in favour of the Attorney- General taking precedence; and I believe the Attorney- General has since that time led the King's Advocate. Dr LUSHINGTON— No, never, my Lord. The King's Advocate has always led the Attorney and Solicitor Generals. T h e LORD CHANCELLOR— I remember a celebrated case in this House, which lasted several weeks, where the Attorney- General took precedence of the King's Advocate. Dr LUSHINGTON— Then that must be a matter of accommodation, and could only be allowed under protest. T h e LORD CHANCELLOR— But tbe K i n g ' s A n - cient Sergeant takes precedence of the King's Advocate. Dr LUSHINGTON— Never; and the Attorney- General always yields to him, not only in all the courts oflaw and equity, but in the Admiralty Court, sitting for the trial of criminal offences. The LORD ADVOCATE— My Lords, this question, relating to precedence, has taken me so much by surprise, that I am not prepared now to argue it. I, however, claim precedence for the Lord Advocate of Scotland. T h e LORD CHANCELLOR— There can be n o d o u b t, the Lord Advocate of Scotland takes precedence of the Solicitor- General, but I have doubts, whether he does of the Attorney- General. T h e LORD ADVOCATE— The S o l i c i t o r - G e n e r a l is an office of recent creation. I wish, however, as the question is one of importance, that it should stand over for argument on a future day, each party protesting against the right of precedence. I am willing to leave the decision with your Lordships, but 1 must maintain, that the Lord Advocate of Scotland is the first law officer of the Crown, in all courts of equity, law, revenue, or ecclesiastical. There is no other law officer, in the United Kingdom, can enter into comparison with him on the right of precedence. 1, as the Lord Advocate of Scotland, acknowledge no superior. Formerly, the Lord Advocate used to be styled the King's Lord Advocate- General, and he was always first named in all commissions, where the Crown was concerned. In short, it is the highest legal office at the bar. After some farther remarks, T h e LORD CHANCELLOR s a i d , an early day s h o u ld be named for the decision of the question. Now, each party might enter their protest against the right of precedence, and settle between themselves who should proceed. TJfiis arrangement would not prejudice the right of either party. The LORD ADVOCATE, under this suggestion, proceeded to address their Lordships. The arguments were not of public interest. March 31. The Lord Chancellor took his seat this morning at 10 o'clock, and it was generally expected that Baron Denman would have been sworn and have taken bis seat as a Peer, but he has been further detained in the Circuit, and will not be able to assist his I. nrdship in the hearing of appeals until the latter end of the week. SCOT V. STEWART. This case, which was partly heard cn Saturday, was again resumed at the sitting of the House, by Mr Knight, who contended that the appellant could not be liable in any manner whatsoever to the respondents, as be never handled a farthing of the money, and that as he had only entered into a written contract, by that contract he alone was bound ; the late James Stewart, Esq. of Brugh, died intestate in March 1811, leaving the pursuer in infancy and without tutors or curators. For a short time after his father's death, the affairs of the pupil were placed under the management of a Mr Allcock, who had been appointed as loco tutoris ; but whose factory was recalled in 1814, with the intention of applying to the Barons of the Exchequer for a gift of tutory ; a gift of tutory was accordingly obtained in favour of Airs Marion Stewart, the pursuer's mother, the late Mr Thomas Strong his uncle, and Mr Alexander Stevenson ; which was granted on June 2. 1814. The point at issue in this case is, as the tutory gift was in favour of three individuals, how far . it shall be held a joint nomination, as it was never made ill favour of the survivors or survivor, and acceptors or acceptor. After hearing the case very fully argued on both sides, the Lord Chancellor said, that the point of Scotch law to be decided in this case was a very important one in future cases ; and as there was a diversity of opinion on the subject in the Court below, would be better for their Lordships before they me to any decision, either to reverse the judgment or to agree to it, to have the fullest information on the legal point at issue. He, therefore, considered that it would be more advisable to wait for further consideration, which their Lordships agreed to. W E I R v. GLENNY. The Attorney- General and the Lord Advocate both appearing for the appellant, a question arose which should have the priority of first addressing their Lordships. The Attorney- General said, that he considered that his Majesty's Attorney- General always had the priority over the Lord Advocate. The Lord Chancellor observed, that nothing could be decided at present; but it must be left for further consideration ; after a few observations from each party, tbe Lord Advocate opened the case ; the further arguing of which was postponed till to- morrow.

The Lords met this forenoon at a quarter past ten pursuant to adjournment, to hear several Scots cases of appeal. The Lords present were, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Clanricarde, Viscount . Melbourne, and the Bishop of Hereford. The first case which came before their Lordships was that of TURNER V. BALLANDENE— PRECEDENCE AT THE BAR. Dr LUSHINGTON stated the case for the appellant. The Duke of Argyle held possession, in 1748, of the lands of West Pitgobar, in the parish of Muckhart, and county of Perth. In that year these lands were let in perpetual fee to John Ballandene and his heirs and successors, under reservations which were expressed in the following terms:— 1"' Reserving always to his Grace, and his heirs and successors, the coal and coal haughs, in the said lands, with the liberty of digging coal and coal haughs in any part of the said lands ; but if his Grace, and his aforesaids, should make a new level which had not been formerly made, then, and in that case, they should be obliged to pay to the said John Ballandene, and his before written, the damages which he, they, or they, should sustain thereby." The appellant hail used the level agreeably to the construction to be put on this charter. That level throws off water on the iands belonging to the respondent, who also holds those lands of the Argyle family. The respondent main- HOT PURSUIT— HORSE P A T R O L — M o n d a y a f - ternoon, beiwixt three and four o'clock, M'Levey and Mullholland, two of the police officers, having descried in the vicinity of the Abbey a well known character, named M'Kay, whom they had been in quest of for a day or two previous, immediately gave him chase, when he dashed through Croft- anrigb, along the old road to Meadowbank, closely followed by his pursuers, and a considerable number of people who had been attracted to the scene. He soon diverged from the regular road, and held his course through some of the gardens and fields adjoining, clearing hedges, dilches, and every obstruction in his way, so that the affair assumed quite the appearance of a steeple chase. On reaching the new line of road beyond Comely Green, two gentlemen passing on hoiseback, imbibing the t r u e spirit of the chase, and in a real tally ho style, joined in the pursuit, but Reynard, who was now close beset, not relishing this reinforcement, cleared some dikes on the Restalrig road, wilh a view to getting covert at Lochend. He was, however, prevented from holeinq, and had to resume the turnpike, when the horsemen again coming into play, succeeded in arresting his progress a considerable way beyond Lochend, where the police officers came up and secured him. Had it nol been for the able and efficient assistance of this volunteer horse patrol, il is more than probable that the prisoner would have made his escape. On the 25th ult. the United Associate Congregation, Carlisle Street, Newcastle, gave a most harmonious call to Mr William Puller, preacher of the gospel, to be their pastor. Mr Puller has also recently received a cull from a congregation in the neighbourhood of Dumfries.

S T STEPHEN'S INFANT SCHOOL We witnessed with the highest satisfaction the examination of the children attending St Stephen's Infant School, which took place on Tuesday, in the Hopetoun Rooms. It was truly delightful to see them go through their various exercises with such accuracy and precision, and display an acquaintance with the Scriptures, and the rudiments of general knowledge, which it seems hardly credible they could have acquired at so very tender an age. In the repetition ofthe catechism and of hymns, their calculations as to time, the value of money, & c., they evinced a degree of information that would astonish those who have not accustomed^ themselves to reflect on the acuteness and capacity of the infant mind. Such exercises are not merely useful in strengthening their intellectual powers, but they lay in a store of information which will prove serviceable in after life, and may aid them in the pursuit of higher and nobler attainments. The whole scene was enlivened by the healthful appearance and cheerful aspect of the children, who were neatly and respectably dressed ; a matter of no small importance among the lower classes, as tending to induce habits of personal cleanliness, which they might never have otherwise acquired. If there be any who doubt the utility of Infant Schools, or who think the. system of instruction pursued in them too precocious and trifling to be of advantage, their doubts must be completely removed by attending an examination such as was witnessed by a numerous and delighted audience on Tuesday last.— It has been too much the practice of late with some individuals to rail at what they call the indolence and carelessness of the city clergy, as if they paid not the slightest attention either to the education or to the official duties of their parishes; but had they been aware of the true state of the facts, we think they would have spared their reproaches. In the instance of Dr Muir, for example, we find a minister who, besides the pulpit labours of a single charge, and the periodical visitation of his flock, superintends the education and religious instruction of more than six hundred of the youth of both sexes within his parish. His Sabbath school is attended by above 300 ; the school for giiis by about 140; and the inlant school by nearly 200. Nor is this a solitary instance of a laborious and conscientious clergyman; we could name others of his brethren who are not behind him either in the extent and multiplicity of their duties, or in the faithfulness and quiet diligence with which they discharge them. FATAL ACCIDENT A d i s t r e s s i n g c i r c u m s t a n c e, and one which ought to operate as a salutary warning to parents, occurred on Thursday the 27th ult. in the Causewayside. A fine child, about four years of age, daughter of James Hogg, flesher, had been slightly indisposed, when it was suggested by a neighbour, that it might he beneficial were she to take a small quantity of the tincture of rhubarb. An oltl woman, who occasionally goes messages to tpwn for people in the neighbourhood, happened to he in the house at the time, and volunteered her services to bring the article ; but, on getting to the shop, instead of asking for the tincture of rhubarb, unfortunately asked for the tincture of' laudanum. Laudanum was accordingly given her, with a label on the vial, mentioning what it was. The unhappy parents, never suspecting any mistake on the part of their messenger, and without noticing what was written on tliehottle, administered the whole of the deadly draught. Its fatal effects soon becoming apparent, discovered the mistake, but loo late ; for though medical aid was instantly procured, yet every effort proved unavailing. The case attracted the notice of the Sheriff, who ordered an investigation into the circumstances of the case. MEETING AT L E I T H . — A p u b l i c m e e t i n g of t h e heritors of Leith, called, by public advertisement, on the requisition of twenty- five gentlemen, ofthe first respectability, to consider the probable effects of two measures brought into Parliament, viz. a petition for a bill for erecting a harbour and docks at Trinity, and a bill for amending tbe acts relating to the port, harbour, and docks of Leith, was held on Monday, Bailie Wishart in the chair. The meeting, which was numerously and respectably attended, understanding that the committee of the House of Commons, on the petition for the Trinity harbour, had found, that the standing orders had not been complied with, and that no farther proceedings would probably be had regarding it this session, confined their attention to the bill regarding the harbour and docks of Leith, which, having been read to the meeting, was unanimously approved of, and the following committee appointed to meet anil co- operate with the other public bodies of Leith, with the view of promoting the bill and using every means in their power to get it passed into a law this session, viz. Provost White, Bailie Wishart, Bailie Veitch, Robert Mowbray, Esq. George Wauchope, Esq. James Miller, Esq. George Young, £? q. John liardie, Esq. John Hutton, Esq. William Dudgeon, Esq. and James Sceales, Esq. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.— On Sunday last a small pinnace arrived at Dundee from Perth, in the forenoon, manned by five persons belonging to that city, who had come down the river on a pleasure excursion, for the purpose of seeing the steamship Dundee. At two o'clock in the afternoon they left the harbour on their return to Perth ; and a person who saw them on the eve of departure says, that the boat's crew consisted of a carpenter, a seaman, and three lads, shopkeepers, one of the name of Brown. The carpenter and the seaman were quite inebriated, and totally unfit to manage the boat, which was heavily rigged. On being warned of the danger of exposing themselves in a top heavy boat, and under the guidance of men intoxicated with liquor, the unfortunate lads replied, that they could procure no other persons to conduct them home. Thus they put out to sea, and when a little to the west of Woodhaven, where the wind and current 6trove against the boat, she went down and the crcw met an untimely fate.— Dundee Courier, THE THEATRE. On Monday night, Mr Charles Kean, son of the late celebrated tragedian, commenced a short engagement here in the character of Sir Edward Mortimer in the play of the Iron Chest. He has since appealed as Hamlet and Sir Giles Overreach, and with a slight tendency to extravagance in occasional passages, he appears to possess dramatic powers, which place him far above the common c'ass of theatrical declaimers. He has a great resemblance to his father, in manner, in voice, in figure, and attitude. But it is a natural likeness, and, therefore, has nothing in it of slavish imitation. So far from this, the great merit of this youthful candidate for tragic fame is his originality. He is no servile copyist. He is his own pattern, and in the truth and vigour of his conceptions, and in the fidelity and finish by which he gives them dramatic effect, we recognize the pupil, not of ait, but of nature. He has an animated and expressive countenance, which bears him well through scenes of passion, and enables him to pourtray with effect, and without extravagance, the deep working agitation within ; and in those sudden tumults of the mind, he occasionally displays a depth of feeling that reminds us of the great masters of tragedy. His voice, at all times a powerful instrument of passionate expression, his manner, his attitudes, which are unconstrained and natural, and of which he is a great master, all concur in impressing a corresponding sympathy on the feelings of his audience. He uses no hyperbolical gestures— no strainings after excellence— none of those sallies of desperate impotence, which mark the would- be tragedian in his vain aspiration after effect. His representations are all natural, the result of his own feeling and judgment,' and have no trace of that feebleness, the original and indelible taint of all imitations. We particularly admired him in many passages of Hamlet, to which the preceding observations chiefly apply ; for in the part of Sir Giles Overreach, though powerfully represented, there was, as we thought, more of elaborate effort with less proportional effect. But on the whole he gave a just, correct, and animated representation of Hamlet. In those scenes which are of a less exciting nature, he was graceful, dignified, and easy, while he represented, with power and dramatic effect, those mental tumults which the events of the play naturally excite. The celebrated soliloquy " To be or not to be," was given with a solemn expression of deep feeling that was most impressive aud touching. The scene in which by a dramatic representation of the story before the King, he proves the truth of his father's murder, was an animated exhibition of agitating emotions, and was sustained throughout with unabated power. His interview with the Queen, his mother, was ill the same strain ; and the sudden start of surprise with which he exclaims, after he had slain Pollonius, " N a y , I know not Is it the King ? " fully pourtrayed the feelings which agitated his breast. With regard to Sir Giles Overreach, there is perhaps no character within the whole range of the drama of which the representation is more arduous. Though it has many points favourable for dramatic display, it is in its leading features grossly and even coarsely exaggerated ; and this defect imposes an additional task on the performer, whose business it is, while he gives full effect to the violent ebullitions and ungovernable rage of disappointed ambition, to correct the extravagance of the original, and to bring it within the limits of propriety and truth, by an adherence to simplicity and nature. Now, though the representation of the character by Mr C. Kean was powerful, vigorous, and impressive, he was scarcely equal to the full dramatic display of those fearful paroxysms of rage, in which the uncontrolled malignity of Sir Giles' temper led him to indulge ; so that the original character, which certainly outsteps the modesty of nature, was not reclaimed from its extravagance by the power and redeeming excellence of the dramatic representation. Still there was much to admire in Mr Kean's vigorous performance, and his expressive countenance was dis played with powerful effect in many passages. The fierceness and tyranny with which he glared upon his creeping, crawling menial Marall, the base implement of his villanies, ( which character was, by the way, extremely well, sustained by Alaekay) was fearful and commanding ; and the whole conception of the character was correct; while, ill the more qulel sccnev, Mr Ivcau was a uiudol of grnceTuT jjiupriety. In his interview with Lord Lovel, where he openly proclaims and glories in his villanies, and declares that the widow's curse had no more effect on him than the wolves howling at the moon, he rose to gredtness ; and when at the last, in an agony of mental agitation and distress, lie sinks into the calm of despondency, and on not having strength to draw his sword, he exclaims— " Some undone widow sits upon mine arm," the tones of his voice, and his whole manner and appimeaprraenscseiv, ee xahnidb iatfefde cat isnpge. ctafcr" le'~ o1f woe that w— a1s1 deepJl y but not crowded. T O W N C O U N C I L P R O C E E D I N G S. The Council met on Tuesday, as usual, at twelve o'clock, the Lord Provost in the chair. After the reading of some reports of committees, of little public interest, the Council proceeded to elect members to represent them in the ensuing General Assembly. T h e DEAN of GUILD proposed that the Council should elect for their representatives the Lord Provost and Dr Macaulay. Mr AYTOUN moved that the motion of Mr Crooks, which the Council agreed to at a late meeting, regarding patronage, should be read ( Tbe motion alluded DEATH AND CHARACTER OF MRS BURNS ( From the Dumfries Courier.) At a late hour of the night of Wednesday, the 26th ultimo, or rather as it was just about to close, the world and its concerns closed for ever on Mrs Jean Armour, the venerable relict of the poet Burns. On the Saturday preceding she was seized with paralysis, for the fourth time during the last few years ; and, although perfectly conscious of her situation, and the presence of friends, became deprived, before she could be removed to bed, of the faculty of speech, and, a day or two thereafter, of the sense of hearing. Still she lay HI ue reau— t i tie auuueii ,„„„ e ,, , , . ----- — , - v to was to I t e effect that the Council, being decidedly a' ] d c t omP° s e c l ; i"" 1, "> the opinion hostile to the present law of patronage, were satisfied °, f her medical attendant, suffered from weakness rather that no member who was not determined to use his utmost exertion to have the present system of patronage either abolished or modified, would accept of a nomination to represent the Council in the ensuing General Assembly.) T h e DEAN of GUILD said, he h a d that motion in view when he proposed these gentlemen. He had no doubt but that they would come up to the standard. That motion having been read, Mr AYTOUN said, as an elector, be begged that those gentlemen proposed would state their sentiments on the subject of patronage ; he had no wish to pledge them. Mr CRAIG thought it unnecessaiy to question these gentlemen, since the motion of Mr Crooks had been agreed to. Mr AYTOUN called upon Dr Macaulay to state his opinion as to patronage. Dr Macaulay did not rise ; and Mr AYTOUN said, that since Dr Macaulay hud refused to answer him, he ( Mr A.) should nominate Mr Tennant. Dr SANDERS seconded the motion. Mr JAMESON said, he believed that a matter of great importance, as affecting the dignity of that Council, and the interest of the Church, would be brought before the next Assembly; he meant the question as to the reduction ofthe number of ministers in the city.— He had reason to believe that that subject would be carried before the Assembly ; and he hoped that whoever were elected to represent the Council, they would pa due attention to the honour and credit of the Council, with regard to that subject. They were aware that, by a decided majority of that Council, it . had been agreed to reduce the number of ministers to 13, and. lie hoped they would maintain and vindicate that resolution. Mr BLACKIE said, he had intended to vote for Dr Alac. iulay* but unless that gentleman gave a statement of bis opinion on Patronage, he should not vote for him. Dr MACAULAY complained of being placed in an awkward situation in having these threats held over his head. Wore he to make a statement of his opinions, it might appear as if he were courting the votes of the members, which he did not. He appealed to their general knowledge of his character for his sentiments. Mr JAMESON called on Mr Tennent to address the Council. Mr TENNENT said he had always been of opinion, that the nomination of the minister should be left with the religious body— meaning thereby the communicants— but that it should be reserved to tbe church courts to judge of the qualification of the minister. He conceived the present Law of Patronage foreign to the constitution of the reformed Church of Scotland. These were his present sentiments; but if returned, he should certainly reserve'to himself the right to exercise his judgment on all the views of that subject that might be presented to him when it came under discussion. ( Hear, hear.) T h e LORD PROVOST declined to answer any questions. He would not pledge himself for a King's crown. The roll was then called, when, by a large majority, the Lord Provost and Dr Macaulay were chosen as elders. T h e LORD PROVOST r e t u r n e d thanks. He hoped that whatever vote he may give in the Assembly, he might not disappoiut them. Dr MACAULAY said, he felt honoured by the vote they had come to ; and though he had refused to fledge himself, he trusted he would be found to be as . iberal as any man at that Board. ( Hear, hear.) Mr AYTOUN begged once for all to say, that he never asked Dr Macaulay to pledge himself. The committee to whom it was remitted to prepare a petition to Parliament iu favour of the bill prepared by the Managers of the Charity Workhouse, for the equalization of the poor's money over the royalty, reported, that they had deemed it unnecessary to prepare said petition, there being no such bill yet before Parliament. A long discussion ensued upon this point, and eventually the report was approved of. A letter was read from Mr Learmcnth, on the part of the Session of St George's, stating, that the attempt of that Session to secure the services of \ lr Candlish on a more permanent footing than at present, by getting him made the colleague of Mr M art in, had been suspended until the opinion of Mr Martin should be ascertained, Duih as to iiie ooject aiiu iiie specific plan for accomplishing it. The Council then proceeded to take up the report of llic e u m m l t t c c U1I llie d u t i e s a n d emoluments of nit the officers belonging to that establishment. Tiie report recommended that the office of Collector of Cess, the net emoluments of which amounted to £ 633, should be abolished, and the duties peiformetl by the Chamberlain ; and that Mr Hill, the present Collector, should receive such superannuated allowance The house was well filled as might be afterwards agreed upon Report approved than from pain. Frequently she gazed with the greatest earnestness on her grand- daughter, Sarah ; and it was easy to read what was passing within, from the tears that filled her aged eyes and trickled down her cheeks. To another individual she directed looks so eager and full of meaning, as to impress him with the idea that she had some dying request to make, and deeply regretted that it was too late; for even if her salvation had depended on the exertion, she was unfortunately incapacitated from uttering a syllable, guiding a pen, or even making an intelligible sign. The mind, in her case, survived the body ; and this, perhaps, was the only painful circumstance attending" her death- bed— considering how admiiable her conduct had been, her general health so sound, her span protracted beyond the common lot, her character for prudence and piety so well established, and her situation in life every way so comfortable. On the night of Tuesday, or morning of Wednesday, a fifth shock, unperceived by the attendants, deprived Mrs Bums of mental consciousness ; and from that time till the hour of her death her situation was exactly that of a breathing corpse. And thus passed away all that remained of " bonny Jean,"— tbe relict of a man whose fame is as wide as the world itself, and the venerated heroine of many a lay which bid fair to live in the memories of the people of Scotland, and of thousands far removed from its shores, as long as the dialect in which they are written is spoken or understood. The deceased was born at Mauchline in February, 1765, and had thus entered the seventieth year of her age. Her father was an industrious master mason, in good employment, who enjoyed the esteem of the gentry and others within the district, and reared the numerous family of eleven sons and daughters, four of whom alone survive,— viz., Robert, a respectable merchant in London ; James, who resides in the town of Paisley; Mrs Lees and Mrs Brown. The alleged circumstances attending Mrs Burns' union with the bard are well known, and may be dismissed with the remark, that we have good authority for saying that they have been incorrectly narrated by nearly every writer who has touched upon the subject. To the poet, Jean Armour bore a family of five sons and four daughters. The whole of the latter died in early life, and were interred in the cemetery of their maternal grandfather in Mauchline church- yard. Of the sons two died very young,— viz., Francis Wallace and MaxwellBurns, the last of whom was aposthumous child, born the very day bis father was buried. - Of the said family of nine three sons still survive, Robert, the eldest, a. retired officer o f t h e Accountant- General's department, Stamp Office, London, now iu Dumfries, and William and James Glencairn Burns, captains in the honourable the East India Company's service. Shortly after her husband's death, Mrs Burns had a very remarkable dream, which she sometimes spoke of to her more intimate female friends, as a circumstance not only most vividly imprinted on the memory, but more prominently placed before the eye of the mind, than any thing that ever occurred to her during her waking moments; and it was to this effect, that the poet, or rather his spirit, withdrew her curtains, and, after gazing wistfully and solemnly, said, " that he had been permitted to take a last look of his widow and the child, he had never before seen.'.' Tiie bare mention of such a circumstance may to many appear abundantly idle, and we, of course, merely allude to it as an impression rootedly entwined with our departed friend's memory, who was by no means a superstitious woman. We pass the funeral of Robert Burns as a matter that belongs to biographical history. It is certain he left his family poor, ( and how could it be otherwise ?) but it is not true, as Collector Findlater has most successfully shown, that they were in immediate want, or lacked any necessary comfort. The Relief Fund annuity of an Exciseman's widow is known to be small ( now, we believe, about £ 12 per annum); but Providence, shortly after the husband and father's decease, raised to the family many valuable friends. Passing exigencies were supplied from this honourable source; and no lengthened period elapsed until the active and disinterested benevolence of Dr Currie, in conjunction with his excellent talents, placed at the feet of the family, to the great delight of the people of the South of Scotland, very nearly £ 2000 sterling, in name of profits arising from tbe Liverpool edition of the poet's works. The poet died in 1796, and up to 1818, his widow's income exceeded not, if it equalled, £ 60 per annum. But on this sum, small as it may appear, she contrived to maintain a decent appearance, was never known to be in debt, or wanting in charity, so unaspiring were her auaUUirm. . mil views- aiid undeviating her prudence, economy, and frugality. At the period just mentioned, Captain James Glencairn Burns wrote, in breathless haste, from India, to say, that having obtained promotion, through the kindness of the Marquis of Hastings, he had been enabled to set apart £ 150 yearly for the uses of his mother, and, as an earnest of affection, transmitted a draft for £ 75. And it is due dance, nor heard her sing; but he has learnt from others that she moved with great grace on the floor, and chaunted her " woodnotes wild" in a style but rarely equalled by unprofessional singers. Her voice was a brilliant treble, and in singing " Coollen," " I gaed a waefu' gate yestreen," and other songs, she rose without effort as high as B natural. In ballad poetry her taste was good, and range of reading rather extensive. Her memory, too, was strong, and she could quote when she chose at considerable length, and with great aptitude. Of these powers the bard was so well aware that he read to her almost every piece he composed, and was not ashamed to own that he had profited by her judgment. In fact, none save relations, neighbours, anil friends, could form a proper estimate of the character of Mrs Burns. In the presence of strangers she was shy and silent, and required to be drawn out, or, as some would say, shewn off to advantage, by persons who possessed her confidence, and knew her intimately Peace to the manes, and honour to the memory, of bonny Jean! S IR A. AGNEW'S SCOTTISH SABBATH BILL We have received a copy of this bill, which seems to be essentially the same with the hill of last year. After referring to a number of old Scots acts on the same subject, it declares that the penalties in these acts for Sabbath profanation shall in future b reckoned in pounds Sterling instead of pounds Scots. I t repeals the penalty for absence from church ; prohibits the keeping open of news- rooms, club- rooms, the running of carl3, stage- coaches, or " other carriage whatsoever, carrying, or licensed to carry," goods or passengers for hire, the plying of boats, steam- vessels, or other vessels with goods, or to aid any ship to leave its port, and the travelling of cattle and sheep on Sunday. The penalties for these offences are left blank for t h e present. The Lord Advocate, or the public prosecutor of the district, is required to pursue offenders. The act of 9lh Geo. I V . having prohibited the keeping open of tippling houses only during divine service on Sunday, i t is declared that the old acts prohibiting the sale of liquor, during " any part of the Lord's day," are still in force. It prohibits t h e publishing of legal, fiscal, and other notices or advertisements on the doors or wall'of, or appertaining to, churches. Finally, nothing in the act extends to works of necessity or mercy. By the brig Essequebo, Captain Taylor, which arrived al GreeriSck from Sierra Leone on Wednesday last, with a cargo of African oak, we learn that the fever of the country had been more deadly this season than for several years past, and that it was exceedingly fatal to t h e British ships loading on the coast. The crews of the Cosmopolite of Liverpool, and the Harmony of London, had suffered severely; eight of the former and several of the latter having died. The Essequebo lost her mate, second mate, steward, a seaman and a boy, who died in the boat while going ashore to sick lodgings, all out of a crew of 15. It was while lying at a river about 50 miles to the east of Sierra Leone that the sickness prevailed most. The latter place and its immediate neighbourhood was not nearly so much affected, and will continue lo Le more healthy in proportion to the progress that is made in clearing the woods and marshes. The sickness on board the Essequebo did not commence until the cargo was nearly completed. The timber, which will not float, accumulates a great quant i ty of the slimy mud of the river and adjoining marshes, which produces a strong and disagreeable odour, and when brought alongside on floats of corkwood, great1 labour is required to have every log thoroughly scrubbed before taken on board, after which it is washed with a solution of quick lime. This was strictly attended to in the present case, nevertheless the stench in a grea'. degree continued, to which the fever on board was naturally attributed. All oil hoard, with the exception of three, were bedfast at one time or other. About three o'clock on Sunday morning, the 30th ulr., the large premises in Bo'ness, belonging to Messrs Paterson and Co., and occupied by them as a shop, warehouses, confection manufactory, &<\, were discovered to he on fire, and notwithstanding every exertion made to prevent the progress of the flames, were burnt to the ground, together with the valuable stock of goods contained in them. The prospect for some time was most alarnvng, and there was reason lo fear that many of the adjoining houses and granaries could not be saved, as it evrteblowing fresh. Fortunately, however, the wind fell,' and the devouring element was confined to the building in , which it originated. No lives were - lost, and only one man, a mason, was severely hurt by the'breaSihg of a bidder. Wo understand the premises were, insured.

SALE OF BOOKS, PICTURES, DRAWINGS, GUNS, BOOK- CASES, & c. & c. & c. M1 Last night Signor Etnilittni's concert, in the Hopetoun Rooms, attracted a numerous and splen did assemblage of beauty and fashion. We need not add that the various performances were executed with all that taste and feeling, and mastery over the instrument, for which Signor Emiliani is so much antl so justly famed, and which elicited the rapturous appluuse of his audience; Mr Maclagan, Mr Stewart, Mr Dibdin, Miss Byfeld, & c. aided in the entertainment of the evening. On Sabbath evening the scholars of St Stephen's Sabbath school, presented to Mr S. M. Penney a splendid copy of Hill's Lectures, bearing the following inscription: —" Presented to Mr S. M. Penney by the senior scholars of St Stephen's Sabbath School, Edinburgh, as a mark of their esteem for his character, and a token of iheir gratitude for the assistance he has afforded to Mr W. R. Thomson, their teacher, during a period of three years, as also to testify the value they put on the instruction received from him during that time." A. Pinkerton ( one of the scholars, a boy of fourteen years of age,) in presenting it to Mr P., expressed, in a rather eloquent manner, the regret which he and his fellow pupils felt at parting with him. Mr Penney's fellow teachers, at the same time, presented to him a copy of Cruden's Concordance, as a memorial of their affection for him, and Mr Thomson, in their name, took occasion to express the regret which he and his assistant teachers felt on being deprived of the valuable assistance of Mr P., who leaves this for Glasgow. St Stephen's Sabbath School is at present attended by upwards of 300 scholars. PRESBYTERY OF JEDBURGH.— On T u e s d a y last this Presbytery met at Jedburgh, for the purpose of taking evidence on the libel at the instance of Sir William Elliot and others against Mr Ewen. When t) ie parlies were called, none of the prosecutors appeared ; but M r Bruce, their agent, stated that they did not intend to lead any process, and meant to insist on an appeal, which had been entered at last meeting against a decision sustaining the relevancy of their libel. Mr Ewen appeared, along with. Thomas Maitland, Esq. advocate, as his counsel, and Mr Peterkin as his a g e n t ; and Mr Maitland, after recapitulating the circumstances of the case in a very forcible speech, moved the Presbytery to dismiss the libel, in respect the libellers had failed to bring forward any evidence in support of their charge. After a very brief discussion, the following decision was unanimously pronounced, the conduct of the libellers being strongly reprobated by several members of Fresbytery :—" Tlie libelling parties in the case of Mr Ewen having appeared by their agent, and declined to lead proof, the Presbytery, therefore, dismiss the libel, antl agree to proceed with the remaining trials of Mr Ewen, towards his settlement in the parish of Ilobkirk with all convenient speed, according to the rules of the Church." THUNDER STORM IN SUTHERLANDSHIRE.— On the 24th February, Cape Wrath and the Rae district generally, was visited by a dreadful thunder storm, when tbe roof of the Manse of Durness was struck with lightning, which again entered the walls about one foot from the ground floor, and escaped under the foundation. In the parlour, while the reverend Mr Findlater and his family were at their morning service, the plaster was torn off the walls, which were much blackened, a large mirror, several framed pictures, and a quantity of crystal, were broken ; a large mahogany table was also^ split, and 82 panes of the windows were shattered to atoms. The bottom was struck out of a pot upon the kitchen fire, and other damage done throughout the Manse; but most provideniially no one was hurt 0 r injured. of. It was tiler arty and what retiring pension should be allowed • With respect to the Chamberlain's salary, which is at present £ 800, the majority of the committee recommended, that it be reduced to £ 400, and that the salaries of his clerks should be regulated as under:— First c% k, £ 150; second, £ 105; and third, £ 85. After a long discussion, it was agreed to put the vote " five hundred pounds or not." The following gentlemen voted for five hundred pounds.— Tbe Lord Provost, Bailies Sawers and Donaldson, Dean of Guild Macfie, Councillors Mackay, Graham, Grainger, Ponton, Craig, Macaulay, Smith, Alexander, Tennent, and Ritchie.— 14. Not.— Bailie Macfarlan, Convener Banks, Councillors Robertson, Crooks, Saunders, Tait, Chambers, Aytoun, Blackie, Pnrves, Duncan, Richardson, Jameson, Wingrave, Maclaren, and Aitken. — 16. Treasurer Black declined to vote, and Bailie Thomson and Mr Lizars were absent. The/ Vote was then taken, £ 450 or 400, when the former sum was agreed to by a majority of 22 to 9. The consideration of the Chamberlain's first clerk's salary was then taken up, and after a short discussion, it was agreed by a majority of 16 to 13 to give him £ 180 per annum. He has been 29 years on the establishment. The salaries of the other two clerks, as fixed by the committee, were agreed to, en the understanding that they, along with the first clerk, were to devote their whole time to the duties of their office. The next question, embraced in the report, was the appointment of an accountant, which the committee considered would be more advantageous for the community, in an economical point of view, than remitting their accounts, on every particular occasion, to a professional gentleman ; the salary recommended for this office was £ 300. Mr MACLAUEN moved, that the sum of £ 250 should be assigned to the office. After some discussion, as to whether the accountant should be required to devote his time exclusively to the duties of his office, which seemed to be tbe general feeling in the Council, tbe vote of £ 300 was carried, on a divison of 15 to 13. The Committee recommended, that the salary of the Superintendent of Public Works should be reduced from £ 500 to £ 350.— Agreed to, by a majority of 19 to 10. The salaries of the City Clerks, Keeper of Sasines, Deputy City Clerks, Keeper of Council Records, are to remain as they are for the present. The Committee recommended, that the salary of the Dean of Guild's Clerk ( about £ 13) be abolished. •— Agreed to. They also recommended, that the salary of the Clerk ing some assistance from his brother, and allowances for his infant daughter Sarah, be remitted his mother in all the handsome sum of £ 2400 sterling.— Leave of absence, and some other circumstances, at length impaired tbe means, and changed the fortunes, o f t h e individual alluded to; but Captain William Burns, later in life, very cheerfully took his brothel's place, and discharged with equal promptitude, generosity, and affection, duties dear to the best and kindliest feelings of our nature. In this way, for sixteen years at the least,. Mrs Burns enjoyed an income of £ 200 per annum— a change of fortune which enabled her to add many comforts to her decent domicile, watch over the education of a favourite grandchild, and exercise, on a broader scale, the Christian duty of charity, which she did the more efficiently by acting in most cases as her own almoner. It is generally known that Mrs Dunlop of Dunlop was the first efficient patroness of Robert Burns. Of the accuracy of this fact his writings furnish the most undoubted proofs ; and it would appear that her children inherited her feelings, and spread the same mantle of friendship over the poet's family. For a greater number of years than our memory can trace, Mrs Burns dined every Sunday, after attending divine service in St Michael's Church, with the late Mrs Pcrochan, the eldest daughter of Mrs Dunlop of Dunlop ; and was noticed and patronised in the most flattering manner by various living members o f t h e same ancient family, who might feel offended did we dare to record all we happen to know of their exertions in a cause which Scotsmen, wheiever situated, are prone to identify with the land of their birth. The term of Mrs Burns' widowhood extended to thirty- eight years, in itself lather ail unusual occurrence— and, in J lily 1796, when the bereavement occurred, she was but little beyond the age at which the majority of females marry. But she had too much respect for the memory of her husband, and regard for his children, to think of changing her name, although she might have done so more than once, with advantage ; and was even careful to secure on lease, and repair and embellish, as soon as she could afford it, the decent though modest mansion in which he died. Antl here, for more than thirty years, she was visited by thousands on thousands of pet sons, from the Peer down to itinerant sonnetteers— a class of persons to whom she never refused an audience, or dismissed unrewarded. Occasionally, during the summer months, she was a good deal annoyed ; but she bore all in patience, and although naturally fond of quiet, seemed to consider her house as open to visitors, and its mistress, in some degree, the iproperty ef the public. But the attentions EDINBURGH CORN MARKET. APRIL 2. We had a very small supply of wheat to- day; that of other sorts was large, and sales heavy for all kinds, except oats.

L O N D O N COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.— Every necessary arrangement has been made for the improvement of the College of Surgeons in Lincoln's Inn Fields for the better accrmmodation of the Faculty. For the purpose 0r enlarging the College, the house of Mr Pollock, at tbe east side, which lately joined it, has been taken down, and leaves a large space for the new additions necessary to complete the interior of the edifice. When the building is thus lengthened in front, with a view of having the portico still in the middle, two of the columns at the west side will be removed to the east side, and the pediment, or rather the emblematical statue at the top of the portico will also be removed to a central position. I t is estimated that the expense of the alterations will amount to £ 20,000. Mr John Barnett, who was tried at Worcester Lent Assizes of 1830, and acquitted upon the charge of having been one of the principals in counselling and instigating Hemming to the assassination of the Rev. Mr Parker, at Oddingley, in t h e year 1806, and also of having been a participator in the subsequent destruction of the murderer, died on Friday week. We have not heard ( says t h e Worcester Herald) whether the deceased, as his end approached, made any reference to the heavy imputation under which he rested, of having been concerned in this double deed of blood, or divulged aught tending in any degree to remove t h e mystery in which those horrid transactions have hitherto been shrouded. We believe that the skeleton of Hemming, his carpenter's rule, & c., so singularly discovered, after a lapse of twenty- four years, in the barn in which he was destroyed at Oddingley ( then in the occupation of Thomas Clewes), are still in the possession of the medical gentleman of Worcester by whom they were produced at the time of the trial. The advices from Naples mention, that the King had left that capital, and, it was generally thought, • was on his way to Paris, for the purpose of arranging the marriage of his brother, who is in Sicily, with one of the daughters of King Louis Philip. I t was also again strongly rumoured that he was about to grant a constitution to his subjects. EXTRAORDINARY ENCOUNTER.— Some time since the master of a vessel bound to this port was bringing home with him a rattle- snake of a rather large size. In order to ascertain in how short a time the ating o f t h e reptile would produce death, he procured a rat, and put it into the cage with the snake, • who darted on him, and in something less than five minutes he was dead. Some time after he was induced to repeat the experiment; but on the latter occasion the result was by no means the same. On being placed in the cage tbe rat retreated to one extremity, and the snake at the other, having sprang his rattle ( a process which usually occupies about a minute) and placed himself in the usual attitude, darted on the rat, who, having dexterously avoided his assailant, before he had time to prepare himself for another attack had, in his turn, made such a furious assault on the snake, which he seized by the back of the neck, that in about ten minutes the reptile had ceased to exist, the rat never for an instant having let go his hold till he had strangled his formidable antagonist.— Liverpool Standard. APPREHENSION OF A MURDERER.— On Sunday last, an Irishman named Maguire was apprehended in this town, on a charge of murder, by Mr Macarthy, chief constable of Drogheda. A short time ago, a number of persons entered into a conspiracy t o murder a Mr flussey, a gentleman of property at Rathkenny, near Diogheda. For this purpose they waylaid his gig, but he had gone home by another conveyance, leaving his steward and a Mr T. Cudden, brother of one of the murderers, to bring home the gig with his cloak, 8ic. The assassins, fired with slugs, and killed both these individuals by mistake. Upwards of twenty persons have since been arrested, of whom eight, including the brother of Cudden, are detained. Three named Maguire, Donney, and Quin escaped. Mr Macarthy, the constable, came over to England in search of these individuals, and as we have stated, succeeded in apprehending Maguire upon the pier. The principal proof at present against Maguire, for whose apprehension a reward of L. 100 was offered, is to be found in the evidence of his own son, a lad seven or eight.— Liverpool Chronicle. The execution of Charles Shaw, a boy of fifteen, who was ot the Stafford Assizes found guilty o f t he murder of another boy, named John Holdcroft, at St oke. upoi). Trent, has been respited. We understand that on Tuesday his mother visited him, and, in the expectation that he would suffer death on the following morning, entreated him to tell her t h e whole truth. He then declared most solemnly, t h a t , having won the deceased's wages of him, they quarrelled and exchanged blows, when he ( Shaw) knocked the deceased down twice, the second time against a rail. A boat came up soon after, and he ( Shaw) retired for a while; hut when it had passed returned to the spot, and found the deceased heaving his last gasp. Finding Holdcroft was dead, he tied the cord round his r. eck and left him on the bank, in order to induce an opinion that he had destroyed himself. Believing that there might be some truth in this statement, and, if there was, that i t would reduce the offence to manslaughter, tbe Governor and Chaplain of the prison considered it their duty to come to Shrewsbury late on Tuesday evening, to lay the statement before Mr Justice Palteson, when his Lotdsiiip concluded it would not . be inconsistent with bis duly to grant a respite, in'oitier that further inquiry might be made. His Leidship, therefore, respited the execution of Shaw until the 29th instcnt— Salopian Journal. FRENCH FISHERY A l e t t e r of t h e 22d i n s t a n t, from Dieppe, announces that not fewer than fifty vessels are now fitted out at tbat port for tbe Newfoundland fishery, the number having doubled within the last fiveyeRrs. fiaron Hagel, the Austrian botanist, who lately visited the Neilgherry Hills, in India, declares that t h e uqknown varieties of trees and shrubs existing there alone exceed ten thousand. The wild rose runs up to the top of the highest trees, and grows t o the thickness of four or five inches. A delicious specimen of orange, but not exceeding a filbert in size, ia also found there. In the orange valley below Kotagherry, about 4500 feet above the level of the sea, numerous fruit- trees are found, amongst which are the wild fig and lemon tiee, the latter bearing fiuit little inferior in size and flavour to that of Spain. ATTEMPT TO BREAK OUT DF NEWGATE. On Monday last, Mr Cope, the Governor of Newgate, discovered that twelve transports, who have been for tlie last eight months confined in the gaol, had made very effectual preparations to break out of the north side of the prison. Upon going round the prison, the Governor ascertained that the water- closets i n . the immediate neighbourhood of the transports' room were choked up, and suspecting that the obstructions were caused by a mass of rubbish which might have been removed from the walls, he proceeded to the apartment of the twelve persons who have been for so long a period remaining under sentence. He observed no confusion amongst them, but upon putting his hand under the matting which hung against the wall o f t h e prison, he found that the brickwork was loose, and upon pulling out one brick a number of others tumbled out, followed by an immense quantity of old mortar. " Oh," said the convicts, ' ' i t ' s nothing but a little damp. It was that that gave us all such violent colds." Mr Cope, upon further examination, found that a little more skilful labour would have supplied his prisoners with the means of escape, for they had managed to destroy all the brickwork between the apartment and the large stones which compose the exterior of the building, and had cut round one of tile stones so completely that they could see every thing that was . passing ill the street, immediately beneath the apartment, which is about 15 or 16 feet . from the level of thepavement. Of the matting they had commenced the- construction of a rope, with which, as they subsequently acknowledged, iliey intended to pull the stone into the prison; to accomplish which they had chipped away a considerable part ofthe interior edges. It is calculated tbat only two hours' industry would have enabled them to let themselves down into the street. Indeed, they admitted the fact themselves, and added that they were determined to get out, as they were illegally detained in prison, and could not be blamed, after so long an imprisonment, for making any experiment of the kind. Each of the large stones in the front of the prison weighs upwards of 7 cwt., and if they could not have pulled it in, or contrived to chip away - a sufficient quantity to enable jlietu to get their bodies through, it was their intention to push it out, notwithstanding tile alarm which flip liill of so cnoruieus a bulk must have given, OATHS OF OFFICE, & c. ( From the Morning Herald.) The Duke of Richmond has done a service to pub- 1 lie morals, by directing the attention of Parliament to j the subject of unnecessary oaths. The multiplication of oaths in this Country in cases where simple declarations would have been" quite as efficient, has, we fear, I greatlv tended to bring the solemnity of an oath into contempt, and hence the multitude of cases of perjury that one continually hears of in Courts of Justice, which are one day employed in punishing persons upon the evidence of oaths who are prosecuted for falseswearing on the next. The adding oath to oath in the Customs and Excise departments, and in all the branches o f t h e revenue, has been a principal means of depriving an oath of its sanctity in the mind of the SPRING ASSIZES.. Derby, March 22. ATTEMPT TO SUFFOCATE THE WORKMEN IN A MINE. George Maltby, and sixteen others, were placed at the bar, and arraigned upon the Coroner's inquisition, for wilfully and feloniously suffocating and murdering Isaac Bsgshaw, Francis Taylor, and Thomas Wager, at Ashford, in the parish of Bakewell, in this county, on the 2d September last. Subsequently, however, seven of the number were discharged. The other ten, whose names are, George Maltby, aged 37; George Sutton, 23; Joseph Baker, 26; James Goodwin, 31 ; John Bunting, 21 ; Thomas Bagshaw, 24; William Stone, 21 ; Charles Harrison, 21 ; Daniel AUO OUUbblbJ - -- i Harrison, J 4" 6~ ; y and Isaac Goodwin, 7 27", / were - n e. x t ar. -. swearer. It is true a bill of Lord Lansdowne's, some I raigned upon the indictment for the murder ot the said years ago, considerably curtailed the number, but ' still there are too many, and there will be too many, so long as one remains. Of what use are they ? Do they prevent, fraud ? Do they awaken the dormant conscience ? No— they make those who are in the habit of taking such oaths think lightly of the solemn obligation when he takes it as a witness or as a juror in a Court of Justice, where the property, the liberty, or the life of another may be at stake. This is an awful consideration— for as long as oaths are persevered in in Courts, the only security which the upright and inuocent have is the sanctity and reverence in which an oath should be held by the person who gives the evidence, or the juror who decides upon it. It, therefore, greatly concerns the interests of justice, that oaths should not be of such frequent and familiar occurrence in the concerns of society, as to make them cease to affect with a deep antl awful impressiveness the consciences of men. Lord Morpeth's bill relieved members of the Society of Friends and Moravians from the necessity of taking oaths of office. We think it would be beneficial to public morality, if oaths of office were abolished altogether, and simple declarations substituted for them. They are of no practical effect, but to lessen the reverence for oaths. They are no restraint on bad men, and good men are bound to perform their duties by higher motives than swearing. We say, therefore, let all oaths of office be abolished— and the whole of that mass of swearing which makes the revenue a fertile source of demoraliza- EFFECT8 OF INJUDICIOUS PROMOTION. ( From the United Service Journal.) Perhaps we shall be told that the present system of promotion lias worked well. Splendid victories have, no doubt, been gained. But there were so many men of high genius, zeal, and enthusiastic devotion to the cause, in all ranks— the courage of the army was of so high a character, that, under ordinary circumstances, victory could hardly escape their grasp. Where were the men who escaladed Badajoz, and stormed St Sebastian, to find their superiors ? But can you tell us how many brave men fell to atone for the errors committed by regiments, brigades, divisions, or even companies, between Lisbon and Toulouse— etrors that the success of the mass concealed from all except those who were immediately on the spot ? How many men ofthe light division fell at Sahugal in consequence of the needless delay of the 5th division ? The failures of Ferrol, Walcheren, Rosetta, Buenos Ayrcs, and Platsburgh, could be ascribed neither to the soldiers nor to the want of means. The repulse at New Orleans was avowedly owing to the misconduct of a simple Brevet Lieutenant- Colonel; thus proving how much mischief may arise from the incapacity of individuals holding comparatively humble stations. What enabled two or three thousand F'rench to escape from an entire British army at Campo- Mayor, in order afterwards to defend Badajoz? what occasioned the defeat of the heavy brigade at Llerena, and made six squadrons of British cavalry fail before a handful of French infantry, on the Coa and in tbe plain of Merida ? why was Fort Erie surrendered to the Americans, and how came the attack on Bcrgen- op- Zoom to fail, after the troops had entered the fortress ? On none of these occasions was there any want of zeal or gallantry, these qualities at least were never called for in vain ; the means employed were also sufficient to warrant success, so that the failures must have been owing to some absence of professional knowledge, firmness, foresight, promptness, or decision, in some quarter, at some important point of time or place. The defeat at Buenos Ayres was ascribed to the General; the repulse at New Orleans, to a Captain and Lieutenant- Colonel; and who knows but that the other disasters may be attributed, in a great measure, to officers of even lower rank. Isaac Bagshaw ; and they pleaded not guilty. The Clerk o f t h e Arraigns then charged them, and i a man of the name of Black, not in custody, upon that indictment, which staled that they ( the prisoners) did, ] on the morning of the 2d of September last, wilfully and maliciously make a fire of straw in a certain mine, called the Grea't Red Soil Mine, situate at Ashford, in the parish of Bakewell, iu the county of Derby, and that they ( the prisoners) then and there put into the said fire a great quantity of oil of coal ( a sort of tar), and also of sulphur, and other combustibles, and thereby wilfully, feloniously, and of their motion aforethought, caused noxious fumes, smokes, and vapours, in the said mine ; and that the said Isaac Bagshaw, having descended into the said mine on the said day, to enter upon his lawful occupation of a miner, not knowing of the said noxious smokes and vopours, was thereby suffocated and murdered. This was the substance of the first count of the indictment. The other counts charged the same offence, differing from the first only in form. ( There were two other indictments against tile same prisoners, for the murder of F'rancis Taylor and Thomas Wager, respectively, in the same manner, and at the same time and place.) Itappeared from the statement of counsel that there were two mines— one called the Great Red Soil Mine, belonging to one set of proprietors, to whom the deceased workmen belonged ; the other, called the Magpie Mine, belonging to other proprietors, who employed the prisoners. There was a dispute of long standing between these rival proprietors respecting some alleged cross veins in these contiguous mines, and it was this claim of property, no doubt, that led to the unfortunate occurrence which now became the subject of investigation. The evidence offered was not conclusive as to the actual guilt of the COMBINATION IN CORK.— At the Co. K a s s i z e s on Monday, Thomas Sullivan, John Carey, Patrick Looney-, and Denis DriseoU, wheelwrights, were convicted of an assault, arising out of combination, upon a fellow- tradesman. The nature of the assault is thus detailed in the evidence of the prosecutor. Michael Murphy, whose head was bandaged, was sworn, and, in answer to a question by Mr Bennett, said— I am a wheelwright; 1 know the prisoners. On the 12th of January last I stopped up late; I had scarcely gone to sleep when several persons came to the house and dashed in tbe window shutters ; my wife roused me up, and said, " Mick, Mick, here are those fellows come to you." My light hand, in consequence of an accident, was in a sling ; I threw myself out of bed, and saw a number of persons enter the kitchen, and smash every thing in i t ; I ran behind the bed for the purpose of concealing myself, when a man came in and poked under it for me ; those outside desbed the man to search the chimney, for that I must be there ; ho at length discovered me, and cried out, " By C— t, 1 have the fellow." He caught me by the heels, dragged me on my back, and gave me a violent kick on the chest, and jumped on me. Others entered the room, and they fell upon me, and kicked me all over the body. I saw Pat Looney and Carey breaking my furniture. Sullivan and Driscoll did not appear to be doing any thing. I knew them all by the light of the night. I often worked alongside them, as wheelwrights, at the same bench; they pulled me to the kitchen, and continued to " murder" me. They pre. honour conferred on him, the rev. gentleman conclud- ) ed amid great applause. Among a numerous host of j toasts the following were given, viz,— Sir Norman Lockbart, Hart., and Upper Ward Yeomanry Cavalry. Mr Gillespie, Gateside, and the Highland Society of Scotland. Mr Scott of Letham, and the Farmers of Jed Forest. Sir Howiesou ofIlillentl. Mr Paterson of Carmacoup. Mr Gillespie, Parkhall, & c. & c.— with a variety of excellent and well selected songs, suitable replies and facetious remarks ; and by the judicious, able, and agreeable conduct of the Chairman and Croupier, nothing could surpass the harmony, liveliness, and regularity that pervaded the meeting. To the Douglas Instrumental Band, which was in attendance, and enlivened the scene by appropriate airs, a handsome reward was bestowed.— The dinner and liquors were prepared in a superior manner, and gave the utmost satisfaction, and every accommodation was made for the comfort of the party in Mr Lambert's usual neat and tasteful style. prisoners, though it clearly appeared tbat the men working in the Red Soil Mine had been by some means subjected to a stifling suffumigation, which had caused the death of three of them. The jury pronounced all the prisoners " Not guilty," No evidence was offered against them on the other two indictments. They were, therefore, discharged. YORK— MARCH 27. THE KING TAKEN PRISONER.— In an early period of his present Majesty's naval career, during the American war, Prince William, then a midshipman, together with two other youngsters, landed on South Sea beach ; and, having passed the lines, after warning given them by the sentinel, the latter, as in duty bound, took them all three to the guard- house, from whence they were marched before the colonel of militia, then in command, who, after giving them sharp lecture, sc- nt them on board their respective MELANCHOLY L o s s OF THE BARQUE ASIA, OF LONDON— We have been furnished WITH TI>„ following account of the barque Asia, of Loni'on, Stevenson, master, by the friends of one of her crew, who has received a letter dated Philadelphia, F'ebruary 10. The vessel sailed ( from whence it is not stated) OB the 24th of November last, bound to London, with a pleasant breeze from tile N. W., which continued until they were clear of the Bird Islands, when it was succeeded by a heavy gale from N. W. to N., the sea rnnning mountains high. From the severe frost at the time the exertions of the crew were almost frustrated, one man having lost his fingers, another his legs, and a third a part of his feet. Ill this distressing condition, however, from the quantity of water in the hold, all those ofthe crew who were able were fojeed to work at the pumps night and day, and which they continued for seven days, but at nine A. M. on the 17th December, the gale increased to such a state of Violence that the ship became unmanageable. They were then under close- reefed topsails and reefed foresail, with nine feet water in the hold. Orders were given by the Captain to cleu'e up the sails, which'was complied with, but the ship was settling so rapidly that they had not time to furl the sails before it was found necessary to secure what provisions they could. These necessaries were, however, scarcely secured on the poop, when the ship turned bottom up, antl the Captain, together with Captain Hamilton, a cabin passenger, and five of the crew, were washed of the wreck, and sunk to rise no more. Two of the unfortunate crew, named James Maclaman and George Swansford, were natives of this town. The remainder of her crew succeeded, after repeated struggles, in getting on tbe bottom of the vessel, and subsequently succeeded in cutting away the lanyards of. the main rigging, when the quantity of water in the sails caused the main and mizen masts to go by the board, and the vessel immediately righted. Nothing but the hull and the fore- mast was now left, the boats and all the gear having been carried away. The situation of the survivors was here more deplorable than before, left without a morsel of provisions or water, with no time for serious thduglit, the cries of the more timid were most agonizing— wet, weary, and almost frozen with cold, they remained in tfie fore- top during the first night, and when morning broke they succeeded ia getting the fore- top mast stay- sail, which they cut up to shelter themselves from the cold. In this situation they remained for six days and nights, without food or water, their sufferings from thirst being the most excruciating^- without chart or compass it was impossible for them to tell where they were, and their last hope was that Providence would protect them, and to their unspeakable joy, about five P. M. of the 23d December, six days after their vessel upset, a sail hove in sight, and which eventually proved to be the John Willis, of Philadelphia, from Liverpool, with passengers, bound to the former place. At this time it was blowing a heavy gale from the W. N. W., the shipwrecked crew hailed them as well as from their weakened state they were able, with three cheers, and after four hours' suspence between hope aixd fear, the gale not having abated until nine P. M., the boats OF the John Willis succeeded in taking them off the wreck. Here they were treated with the greatest kindness, but after they had been on board three days they were obliged to be put on short provisions, until they arrived at Philadelphia, on the 8th of February last. The British here provided them with clothes and provisions, and will send them to England by the first opportunity.— DeVonport Telegraph. MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF TWO LIVES— The brig Adventure of Ipswich, Lord, master, bound from Newcastle to Ipswich, sprung a leak, when the crew laboured hard at the pumps, and after using their utmost exertions, and being worn out by fatigue, and finding the water gaining upon them, they, for the preservation of their lives, hoisted out their boat, which unfortunately got stove by getting her over the ship's side, by reason of the tremendously heavy sea and gale of wind, which had continued from the vessel first springing!! lake. They therefore trusted their lives, being seven in number, in a frail boat, that required to be bailed constantly, under the guidance of Providence, and left their then sinking vessel at six o'clock on Sunday night last. In the mean time, two of the crew died from fatigue— one a lad about 16, and the other 21— when, to their infinite joy, they perceived a vessel bearing down to them, which proved to be the schooner Glasgow Merchant, John L. Duncan, roaster, from Glasgow to Rotterdam, with goods. Captain Dunc. m, on his coming up with them, wbich wi s about two o'clock in the afternoon of Monday, found the remaining five in a most exhausted state; but, owing to the praise- woithy exertions of Captain Duncan and his crew, by rubbing them with brandy, they re tored them. And we farther regret to add, that the Glasgow Merchant was driven on shore by a tremendous squall of wind on Caister Ness, the same night, where they were a second time exposed to the horrors of a shipwreck. Tile Glasgow Merchant, we fear, will become a wreck, and most of her cargo has becu landed in a damaged state, RIDSDALE v. GULLY, M . P . Mr Pollock and Mr Knowles appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Blackburne for the defendant. Mr POLLOCK said— Mr Ridsdale is a gentleman who lives at Murton, near the city of York. He is very much addicted to the sports of the field, and also frequents the turf a good deal. Mr Gully, the defendant, is member of Parliament for Pontefract, a gentleman, he believed, perfectly well known, probably to every one whom he had the honour to address, and to a very large portion of the public. Of him he ( Sir Pollock) meant to say nothing, except what was connected with that cause, and that was, that on an occasion which he sought for himself, in order to be in the company of the plaintiff, he availed himself of his superior strength, without any provocation then given, to inflict upon him a blow, and what was unfortunately worse, to disgrace a gentleman. in the presence of the public, in the presence of bis friends, and in the presence of his servant, who was riding behind him. He ( Mr Pollock) should rank. an action of assault, as he should an action for slander. They varied from a pothouse brawl, which Ought'n'ever to be brought into a court of justice, to the case where two persons moving in the rank of gentlemen of large fortune, frequenting and entitled to keep the best society as. in the present case, one of them, the. defendant, being a member of Parliament. The case was before the jury : it was for them to say what damages the plaintiff ought to receive for the outrage which bad been committed upon him— an outrage which no man ought to put up with, and which no man ought to have inflicted upon another. He ( Mr Pollock) believed what passed was in substance something like the following : Mr Ridsdale was out with two gentlemen, Mr Gully joined them and commenced a conversation, with Mr Ridsdale, as to whether he had said, that he, ( Mr Gully) had won a large sum of money on the Great Doncaster Race. Mr Ridsdale said, that lie had stated Mr Gully had won a sum of £ 12,000. Mr Gully said, he had not won so much, he hall only won £ 1200. He ( Mr Pollock) could not see, if Mr Gully could with integrity, after a race win £ 1200, why he should not with equal integrity pocket £ 12,000. Mr Gully said, you knew 1 had not won so much, I told you so myself. Mr Kidsdale then had the two gentlemen with him, and liis servant was riding behind him, when Mr Gully, as he had before stated, passed from one side to the other, and struck the plaintiff the severest blow that he could. The occasions were rare, and it could not be pretended, that that was one of them, that would justify a human being in inflicting a blow with a horse- whip upon any individual. Both the plaintiff and defendant live among gentlemen— maintain the character and station of gentlemen— the outrage was committed in the presence of gentlemen; and he thought it was no small aggravation, that a man in Mr Ridsdale's situation. in life, should, because Sir Gully happens to be stronger, and at the. same time more irritable than his neighbours, Mr Ridsdale should be horse- whipped in the presence of his own servant. If Mr Gully was possessed of the wealth of a gentleman, and conducted himself in a manner unbecoming tbe circle in which he moved, he ought to be called upon to pay a very ample compensation in damages. In support of the learned counsel's statement he called tw o witnesses. Mr BLACKBURNE addressed the jury in mitigation of damages. He said, the jury had been called upon to say what Would be reasonable and temperate damages for as severe a blow as the arm of Gully could inflict. He thought if so severe a blow had been inflicted, the action would hate. been altered by the death o f t he plaintiff. It was quite plain a great numbei of angry words arose between them, and tbat Mr Gully did that, not for the purpose of inflicting an injury, but for the purpose of showing the contempt he had f'or him, that he struck him. It was f'or them to say, under all the circumstances, what damages they would give for that. If he ( Sir Blackburne) were to talk to them all day, he could not change the circumstances ; they would have to take into consideration the character of the parties— the character of the transaction, as well what was likely to take place, as that which they had heard ; and when they saw that it was next to an impossibility that any person should so conduct himself without soipe provocation, they might be assured Mr Gully never could have been induced to do that with which he was charged, unless he had received some provocation from the plaintiff. Mr Justice TAUNTON, in charging the jury, said, the only question foi their consideration was, what should be the amount of damages that the defendant, Mr Gully, should pay to the plaintiff. Upon the testimony of both the witnesses who had been examined, the plaintiff gave no provocation, but that the blow was altogether a wanton anil uncalled for assault. Although the plaintiff'did not receive any injury, they were not only to consider the injury a man's body sustained, but the insult a person having the station, the rank of a gentleman, in which rank both the plaintiff and defendant were acknowledged to move, should receive for such an insult as that. The case was with them, and they would give the plaintiff such damages as . they thought he ought to receive,. and'the defendant ought to pay. The jury, after retiring above ten minutes, returned into CouTt, finding a verdict for the plaintiff.— Damages £ 500. served silence during the attack ; those outside called to those inside to " pull the villain out, and cut off his legs." I was struck on my head by an axe; they dragged me to a portion of the house occupied by my son, and there beat me again ; they covered my face; one asked why I had not communicated with my trade, and swore me to be with them on a certain day, they then struck me with the axe, and left me senseless ; one of the gang— I don't know which— interfered to save me. The prisoners were all found guilty, and sentenced to transportation for seven years. LIMERICK.— A very scandalous recontre is reported to have taken place at a gambling table in this town, between a Captain en full pay and a Captain who no longer receives any pay at all.— Between those respectable gentlemen a quarrel of a year old, arising out of an alleged gambling transaction, subsisted. One paity claimed a debt of honour to a considerable amount, which the other did not recollect t o have contracted, and the matter being referred to a military Court of Inquiry, the claimant was removed from the half- pay list. This disgrace made a deep impression, and on the first opportunity, which occurred last Saturday night, he struck his gallant opponent, and spat in his fare. A battle royal ensued, in which a young nobleman, at present quartered in this gairison, bit the dust, which caused his Lordship most philosophically to remark that he deserved no less for coming into such a place. The principal parties in the row are conspicuous members of the ton, and the circumstance has caused a corresponding sensation. The gentleman who EAST L O T H I A N AGRICULTURAL REPORT. ( From our Correspondent.) This month has been well adapted for the operations of the season though frequently cold and boisterous, yet at other times it has been uncommonly mild, particularly the second week of the month, when vegetation made great progress, and is at this time much farther advanced than in the generality of years. F'rom the ! 1th to the 21st, the weather being calm and dry, the great bulk of the oat- seed was got over under favourable circumstances, and though there has been little frost, yet from the land being mostly ploughed dry, clay soils harrowed better than might have been expected. The drilling of beans and pease, with some exceptions, is completed; the favourable season has induced an extended culture of these grains, which are well known to be suitable, preparatory to a wheat crop, inileed'it is remarked that several fields are under these crops which some years ago would not have been considered as calculated for producing them.— What a contrast is there between this seed time and that of last year, when nothing could be done wifh propriety on clay soils till near the middle of April, and even then much was done under unfavourable circumstances. At Gifford fair on 25th, which is the only market in the county for ewes and lamb, the show presented was smaller than usual, and was all quickly sold at an advance of about 4s. on the prices of this time twelvemonth, and several buyers left the market unprovided. Markets for fat stock have been larger than the demand required, and prices have receded; trade in some of the manufacturing districts having got dull will no doubt lessen consumpt. Grain markets have not been so full as last month. At Haddington, wheat, in particular, has been nearly a half less, average prices have advanced 3s. 6d., and on barley 3s. 2d. per quarter since the last market day of the preceding month. Oats and beans and pease, with the exception of some of superior quality for seed, have varied little. From the late discussions on the corn laws there is reason to expect, that another change will take place at no distant period.

T H E FALKLAND ISLANDS— Our G o v e r n m e nt having judged these islands lo be a station of some importance and convenience to our ships proceeding lo the Pacific, Captain Filzrov, in the Beagle, has been directed to survey them. Lieutenant 11. Smith, late First Lieutenant of the Tyne, is appointed Governor of these islands, and four seamen, volunteers, as a boat's crew for his use and protection. They were to proceed by the first ship from Rio. It was expected that this l i t t l e nucleus party of a new colony would be reinfoiced by a party of royal marines from England. It has been ascertained that these islands are not so unproductive as has been believed, and . t h a t a limited number of settlers would do well on the Eastern Island, where, in fact, one is forming. A situation, called Port Louis, at the head of Berkeley Sound, had been fixed updn as head- quarters. At least 7000 bead of fine wild cattle, and 500 wild horses, are roaming over a large expanse of most excellent pasturage- Game is also in abundance, particularly rabbits, and tbe shores abound with excellent fish, as well as whales and seals. Though there is no timber on the islands, the sheltered spots are favourable to the growth of hardy trees; there is peat" in abundance, which would furnish a never- failing supply of fuel, nnd kelp for manure. The climate is not severe, considering its localities, and there is good anchorage all round the coast. Wheat. Rarley. Oats." I - . s . d. L. s. d. L. 8. d.

A meeting of the Presbytery of Irvine took place on Tuesday week ; after the luuiiue business liad been disposed of, the Presbytery proceeded to elect their Commissioners to the ensuing General Assembly.

Mr Brisbane ofDunlop ; which was unanimously sustained, anil the moderation of the call appointed to take place oil the 17th April next, the Rev. Mr Roxburgh of Kilmaurs to preach and preside. Another presentation was given in by the Moderator, ( Dr Laurie of Loudoun,) in favour of Sir J . C. Jamieson of Kilmarnock, to tile vacant parish of Dreghorn. — An heritor of that parish gave in a petition and objections against the presentee, on account of informality. A long preliminary discussion then ensued, as to whetner the presentation should be sustained, or proceed to consider the objections first. It was moved by the Rev. Sir Campbell of Kilwinning, that the presentation be sustained ;— It was also moved, by the Rev. Sir Wilson of Irvine, that before sustaining the presentation, they proceed to consider the petition and objections ;— they were both heard at great length in support of their respective motions; and the question seemed to rest on the meaning of the motion carried by Dr' Cook, in tbe last General Assembly, in reference to calls— Sir Wilson contending that the motion watranted the Presbytery proceeuing with tbe petition first; ancl Sir Campbell, that it was only a declaration of what the law of the Church was, and riot that it was an addition to it— antl read a letter from Dr Cook in confirmation of this statement. The motions were eventual, y put to the vote, when it was carried, by a great majority, in favour of Sir Campbell's motion, that the presentation be sustained; against which finding, Sir Alex. Robertson, writer, Irvine, on behalf of the parish, protested ami appealed to the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, which meets on the 8th of April. Mr Campbell then moved, that Sir Jamieson be appointed to preach at Dreghorn, and allow the people a h aring of him ;— it was ajso moved by Sir VV'i son, that it is incompetent to allow Sir Jamieson to preach in the face of a protest and appeal, which was carried— Mr Campbell protesting to the meeting of Synod.— Kilmarnock Journal. taction with those presently in force. In Parliament, however, their total abolition finds few advocates ; but out of doors such a doctrine has many supporters. Since the present law came into operation the most valuable crop, wheat, has been frequently defective, notwithstanding, prices have generally been moderate, and also more steady than ever known for such a length of time.— SI arch 31. CORN EXCHANGE— SIARCII 31. The show of wheat, barley, beans, and pease from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, was very limited, and of these articles we had a moderate fresh supply on sale from other counties; but of oats the arrivals since Wednesday have been considerable, principally from Ireland; and there were also a few parcels of wheat from thence. The reports inwards of foreign grain, & c., consist of 480 quarters barley, 639 quarters pease, 95 quarters tares, 3532 quarters linseed, 22 casks, 269 bags and 26 barrels cloverseed, with 2496 barrels flour. The exports from London and Liverpool amount to 1279 quarters wheat, 100 quarters rapeseed, and 40 cwt. flour. There was a steady demand for the finest samples of wheat at about the rates of last Moilday, but the demand for all other sorts was limited. Flour was without any alteration in value, the best marks meeting a somewhat improved sale. Prime malting barley was in fair request at full as much money, with a moderate inquiry after other qualities. Beans and pease brought last week's currency. The trade for oats was mostly confined to the consumers, who, having a good choice, were enabled to supply their wants without giving any advance ; fine corn was, however, held pretty firmly at last Slonday's quotations, and thus the extent of business transacted this morning was only moderate. Flaxseed for sowing continues to be wanted, and, being very scarce, commands a high price. There is no rapeseed offering for sale. Cloverseed met a steady, although a limited demand, in the price of which article there was no change. For the month ending the 5th inst. riuty was p » iJ'o » 312a quarters foreign wheat ( from the British possessions), 20 quarters oats, and 1425 quarters pease ; and the quantity remaining in bond on that day throughout the kingdom amounted to 674,990 quarters wheat, 113,422 quarters barley, 225,0! i7 quarters oats, 5720 quarters rye, 2945 quarters pease, 38,288 quarters beans, 22 quarters Indian corn, and 33 quarters Buckwheat.

The demand for rye was also limited in the extreme, and the best heavy samples do not bring above 36s. to 37s. per qr. We note no alteration in the value of harley, for which there was a fair sale, the best description being worth 29s. to 30s. per quarter. White pease sold slowly at the quotations. There was little doing in matt, and the best samples were steady at former prices. Oats met a heavy sale, and the prices were with difficulty supported.

The prisoner kept donkeys for coal carrying, the latter having trespassed [ ion the prosecutor's land, a dispute was the consequence, arid the prosecutor summoned her before a magistrate, for which the prisoner in revenge Committed the crime of which he was found guilty. The Judge told her she must not entertain any hopes oflnercy. At the Kilkenny Assizes, last week, Philip Ma- - loire and Maty Malone, his mother, were tried for the murder of Mr Joseph Leonard. This was the horrid affair which occurred at noonday on the highway between Ross and Waterford; when the unforiunete gentleman was stoned to death in his gig, after which the vehicle was backed into a ditch, and the wheels deliberately blocked to prevent the horse proceeding, and to expose the spectacle to passengers.
