The following are extracts from the minutes of evidence taken before the select Committee to whom the several petitions, from the Royal burghs of Scotland, presented in the late session of Parliament, and to whom the report, which, upon the 16th day of June 1793, vras made from the Committee to whom it was referred to examine the matter of the several petitions from'the Royal burghs of Scotland, were referred.— Lord Archibald Hamilton in the chair. Monday, May 31. 1819. Mr Thomas Henderson called in and examined. [ T h e first part of Mr Henderson's examination relates chiefly to the sett of the burgh of Edinburgh, of which he is chamberlain, the mode of keeping accounts, & c.] You keep no o. ther book but this cash book ? No, none; that isrto'say, we keep books, shewing the different entries; for instance, if I receive from you L. 100,' I enter it in my ledger, and make you creditor. Is that ledger laid before the town council ? It is not. Is this cash book open to the inspection of any person but the town council; the Committee mean any of the burgesses ?. That is not till the end of the year. Is it then open to all the burgesses who wish to inspect it ? It is. For how long ? About'fcfrfrt? weeks ; it may be ci day over or a day under, just as the auditors meet, Is public notice given in the newspapers or otherwise, that such inspection may be had? Public notice is given in the council that the annual account is now made up, and ready for the inspection of the citizens at large; and it lies on, the table about three weeks. Who. is usually present in the council, other than the members of the council, when that notice is given ?— There is nobody but the clerks who attend, and as many of the council as chuse arc present, every- Wednesday ; we never proceed without a quorum of 17. Then y » u mean to say that notice is given to tbe council ? Yes. Is any notice given, to the burgesses ? The council, I suppose, mention it out of doors; it is well known that there is no other notice given but in the council ? Has it been usual, in point of fact, for the burgesses to inspect the books? It has, if they chuse; there were several inspected it last year, and different years; it is open for all who. chuse to come. IIow long after the close of the year is it before tbe annual book is made up by'the accountant from your cash book generally ? I should suppose about nine months. Is there any state of the income and expenditure of the city made up at the close of the year, except the annual book, which you have stated to be made up by the accountant ? None. Is that annual book laid upon the table of tbe council, for examination ? It is. Is any notice given that that book is prepared and ready for inspection, such as you have said is given with regard to your cash book The notice is given of the annual account, not of the cash book, but this annual account contains all the items in the cash book, and may be referred to if judged necessary.. Is your cash book also open for the inspection of the burgesses ? It is open to the council, and it is audited by the council, but that annual account shews the whole. Is your cash book open for the inspection of the burgesses ? ' That has never been required. The committee beg to repeat the question ; is your cash book open for the inspection of the burgesses ? That cash book is only open through the annual account, which contains every item. . Yoy. have said, that your general cash book is examined quarterly by the first bailie's committee ? It is. ' Of whom docs that committee consist ? Of seven merchants and six tradesmen. Who appoints them ? They are appointed by the council ; thirteen of the number ; there arc different committees. And they are of the Council ? They are. You have already stated, that your accounts, after being transmitted to Jljfi aecountfintj are examined by 16 auditors ; by whom are those auditors appointed ? By the council. Have they, - in the examination of those accounts, any other duty than to compare the vouchers, and to doquet the account, and fo discharge you ? None. You have referred to the dean of guild, the water, and the college revenues ; are those revenues under your management ? They are all in that book, under my receipt and expenditure. Is there any other revenue' belonging to the city, which is not under your management ? Leith docks are under a distinct act of Parliament; a committee is appointed to manage those docks, consisting partly of the council, and some of the respectable merchants of Leith ; the books are kept by Mr Charles Cunningham,' the town- clerk. There is also the ale duty, which is under a different act of Parliament, and the account made up by Mr Archd. Bruce, now in attendance ; his father is named the city accountant, and he is partner with his father. And he keeps those books ? Yes. Is there any body but the town council themselves who have any control over the expenditure ? I do not know that there is.. Are the debts of the city considerable ? That will be shewn by Mr Bruce, who has a statement of them. Have you, as chamberlain, no access to know the amount of the city's debts ? I see the amount of the debts and expenditure every year, by the annual account. You mean the account made up by the accountant Yes. Have you no other means as chamberlain? No other means, except the books in my possession, from which the same may be made up. Is it understood you are not a member of the council while chamberlain ? Quite so. Is it incompatible ? There are many questions about it ; I think myself totally disqualified, as the town's servant. In what manner are tbe debts of the city contracted, and under what authority ; the committee mean money borrowed ? When a per on comes to lend money to the city, it is represented by the chamberlain, upon the first Wednesday thereafter, to the council,- and then a bill or a bond, as the lender may require, is granted. Who signs that bill, or'e. xeeutes that bond ?' I sign the bill, as chamberlain ; it is marked by the- clerk, and approved and certified in council; the bonds are signed by . the Provost and Magistrates. Does an act of council always precede the borrowing of money ? That representation is made, and tho sum that lias been offered to the city, which is entered upon the record of that day. Do you mean to say, that the city always borrow all the money offered to it ? yes, they do'; for Some time past we have had so. many improvements going en, that it requires it. Is it borrowed for the city generally, or for specific purposes ? For the city generally. On- what security is the money generally borrowed ? It Is generally expressed in the bill or bond, For account of the community of Jidinburgh;" Whom do you conceive to be liable for the payment of debts so contracted'? ' i he city funds, in the first instance. - . ' Whom do you consider liable, in the second instance ? The burgesses of Edinburgh. Upon what authority do you say that you conceive the burgesses of Edinburgh to be liable, in the second in stance, for those debts ? I have always understood so. Is it so understood by the magistrates and council ? presume it is. When the magistrates want money for any specific • purpose, do they give public notice, in any way, of their wishing to borrow money? There have been instances of their borrowing from the banks for particular pur. poses. Do they give notice that they want money ? They call at the bank and say, they want aosmuch money, when there are improvements going on, if tbey'want more than can he spared from the city funds. , . When in'oney is borrowed, is any notice given in the council for what purpo. se it is so borrowed ? It'is in J^ eneral just mentioned that it is to ' reduce the balance due to the bankers. * - - When money is obtained" from bankers in advance, is the purpose lor which it hi so got made public in thecouncil There have been same instances, I believe. When Ihe council resMve lo carry on any. public work for which - they must borrow money, is a resolution to that effect entered in the minutes of council,' previous to the borrowing of such money ? Sometimes it is, in some instancss, And in some instances it is not ?. I think it must stand as it does; lhat in some instances it is not. Can you state any distinction between the class of cases in which such a resolution is entered, and those ill which it is not ? No, I cannot just now. Is the resolution to which you have alluded, a resolution to borrow a specific sum, or merely to borrow for fhe purposes of a particular undertaking ? 1 have said already that in sotne particular instances the object has been mentioned. In the resolution to which you have referred, has it been the1 custom to specify the particular sum it is intended to borrow, or merely that it is intended to borrow a sum for a particular purpose ? In the instance of the building of St George's church, it was mentioned in council that L. 18,000 would lie required. Do you mean by your answer, that tbe case of St George's church was a- particular case of the sum being specified, or that it is the cMstom to specify tbe particular sum to be borrowed, as well as the undertaking for which it is to be borrowed ? I cannot at present recollect any other instance of the specific sum being entered. Have you usually been present in the council when those resolutions with regard to borrowing money have been entered into ? Yes, I attend every Wednesday, except during the elections. It is your duty to be there every Wednesday when the council meets ? YeS, it is. Is it usual, in large expenditures upon public works, to have a plan and estimates of the extent of that expenditure, previous to resolving upon it ? It is. Have the burgesses in general, and the community at large, any means of preventing what they might think an undue expenditure of the funds of the burgh ? 1 do not think they have. Has it been usual to lay a state of the funds of the city before the council, previous to the undertaking any large expenditure ? There has not been any comparative state ment ; there is a general knowledge of how we ate by the banker's account, which appears every Wednesday. Has any discussion usually takpji place on this subject in your presence ? Not that I recollect. Ha* any other security but that which you have described as tbe security of the city, been given for any loan that has been made to the city, in your recollection ? No other security than the town's security. Is the town, to your knowledge, under any cautionary obligations, or obligations of guarantee ; and w hat are they ? I wrote down on the 29th, for a particular note of that, which ' will " be furnished, and I expect it in the course of post. Since you have been a member of the council and chamberlain of the city, do you know of any sales or alienations of property made by the council ? There were lately some superiorities sold. Were there any other sales made during that period, that you recollect ? There was a small piece of ground on the Calton- hill, which was sold for L. 1500, to the best of my recollection. • To whom ? To the4incorporation of Calton, for a burial ground, at the rate of L. 1000 an acre; they required it when the road went through the church- yard, as an addition to the burial ground. Do you remember any other alienatious ? I do not at present. Were you present in the council when the resolution was taken- to sell the superiorities you have mentioned? I was. When was this ? I cannot recollect the particular time ; but a certified list of the superiorities, and to whom sold, will be sent to the Committee by the course of post. Upon what ground was this resolution taken ? That the superiorities afforded nothing to the city, and that they would bring in a fund if sold. Were these superiorities in the county of Mid Lothian? I think they were. How many were there of them ? I would rather wish to defer that till the certified copy conies; I think there were four or five of them, but I cannot speak distinctly. Was it in the year 1816 ? I cannot be quite certain as to that. Was there any reason, at the time, for believing that they could be advantageously sold ? I do not recollect any thing particular. Was there any contest in the county of Mid Lothian ? That is a question I really have nothing to do with ; but there was a contest in Mid Lothian- Was it mentioned in the council, that they were likely to get a good price for the superiorities ? Not so far as I recollect. Do you recollect* any valuation or report, with regard to the value of those superiorities, being laid before the council ? I believe the price of the day was mentioned the last price. By whom ? I cannot recollect. You do not recollect that any valuation was laid before the council ? No. In what manner was the sale made; by public auction or private contract ? It was by offer made in the council; but Mr Cunningham will be better able to speak to that. Do you know, in point of fact, whether they were sold by public auction, or not ? They were not. Were they advertised in the public newspapers? Not that I recollect. If they had, must not the expence of advertising have been paid by you ? It would. Did you pay any such expencfc ? Not that I recollect. To whom were they sold? I cannot mention that either ; I do not know the particular names. Did, you not receive the price ? Yes. From whom ? That will appear in the cash- books. Were the sums large ? They were considerable. Have you forgot the names of the persons from whom you received such considerable sums ? I could mention some of them. Mention them now. There was Mr William Arbuthnot. Who is he ? The late provost. Was he a member of the council then ? Yes. What office did he hold in the council ? I cannot distinctly recollect; I think the certified list would save the Committee a gVeat deal of trouble. F rom whom else did you recefve any part of the price of those superiorities ? There was Mr Archibald M'Kinlay. Who was he ? A merchant in Edinburgh. Was he a member of council ? I think he was. From whom else did you receive any part of the price of those superiorities ? Mr Andrew Bonnar, the banker. Was he a member of the town council ? No, be was hot. From whom else did you receive, any part of this mo ney ? 1 am not certain, but I think Mr Samuel Anderson. Do you recollect any body else ? I do not recollect any other at present. They will appear from your books ? Yes. You have said, you think those sales were made on offers given in to the Council ? I think so. Did those offers come through you ? I do not know, I am sure ; sometimes tbey come direct to the council, and sometimes through me ; and I carry them down to the council. Did you hear any of those offers read ? I certainly would. Do you recollect whether there were more than one offer for each qualification read at the council table ? Not so far as I recollect. In point of fact, did you hear any resolution with regard to the preferring one competitor for the. purchase to another ? 1 did not. Do you believe there were any competitors for the purchase ? I do not. Do you believe, that if any body had been desirous of competing for the purchase, he would have had an opportunity of so doing ? I think he would. In what way would he have known that such superiorities were for sale ? It was generally known. Ity whom was it generally known ? By the council. Was it generally known out of the council? I cannot say as to that. Have you any reason to believe that it was so ? None, llave yon, during the ten years you have acted as chamberlain, known the auditors appointed by the council ever to reject one item of the payments you have made ? I have not. Mr Henderson was- then examined as to the powers of the guildry. lie informed the Committee that the dean was appointed b) the town- council, and that he did liot know of any power which the guildry possessed of interfering with its funds. He; was also examined as to a correspondence between Mr James Gibson and himself in 1816, regarding an offer to purchase the superiority of the lands of Grothill, which belonged to the city, and which the magistrates intended to sell. From the documents laid, on the table of the Committee, it appeared that on the same day Mr Gibson offered to purchase the superiority • the town- council receivc;^ - an offer to the same effect from Mr Arbuthnot, at that time. lord provost, which they ac » ! cepted,. refusing the offer of Mr Gibson. " Mr Wiliiatn Bell, writer to the. signet, Was examined as to complained of by the- petitioners, •^ lVichhfe stated to be self- election of- the magist rates artdttOunOil alienation of the property of the btu; gh, illegal imposition of taxes, mismanagement and profusion in the expenditure of;>. the revenues; ancj an inefficient mode o r e j e c t i n g and checking the revenues. ' Mr Francis Howden, deacon of the goldsmiths, was called in, and explained to the Committee the mode in which the leets are shortened previous to the election of the deacons. He also stated it as his opinion, that according to the present constitution of the burgh of Edinburgh, those who once obtain a majority in the council have the means- ini their power of re- electing themselves or their friends in pcrpetua ; and that any member of the council who objected to the measures of the provost and . magistrates were generally excluded at the subsequent election. Mr Archibald Bruce, accountant to the city, stated the general nature of the receipts of the town, which consisted of shore- dues at the port of Leith, feu- duties, rents of seats in churches, annuity, and the astricted multures paid by brewers. He then underwent a long examination as to the receipt and expenditure of the city. Mr James Spittal, merchant, was next examined. He was of the same opinion as Mr Howden, that the majority of the council have the means of" re- electing themselves and their friends in perpetuo. Mr Charles Cuningbam, one of the clerks to the city, was examined at great length regarding the sale of superiorities belonging to the city, which he considered were sold at as high prices as were then given. He then underwent a long examination regarding the financial state of the city, the cautionary engagements entered into in its name, and the practice of the burgh in the elections of of magistrates and deacons. Mr Gordon Brown's and Mr Alexander Henderson's evidence relates to ihe manner in which the deacons are . elected, and states it as their opinion, that the incorporations have been often disappointed in the choice of dea- FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE.

BERLIN— Sept. 18. On the 14th, in the evening, the news which we had some time dreaded arrived here, that Field Marshal Prince Blucher of Wahlstall terminated his glorious career on the lUth of this month, at 19 minutes past ten in the evening, at his seat of Kriblowitz, in Silesia. His Majesty the King received this sad news by a report from the Aidde- Camp of the Prince Colonel Count Von Nostitz, and also by a verbal communication from Captain Von Rudorf, the second Aid- de- Camp. His Majesty immediately gave orders that the army should put on mourning for eight days, and dispatched Count Blucher of Wahlstadt, the Prince's grandson, with a most gracious letter of condolence to the Dowager Princess.— Our readers will be glad to hear some account of the last days of the Prince's life. On the 5th his Majesty sent from Breslaw his Aide- de- Camp, Maj& r- General Von Witzleben, to him. The Prince was verv weak, but in full possession of his mental faculties. He desired General Witzleben to thank his Majesty for all the honours he had conferred on him ; to recommend his wife to his Majesty's kindness, and to beg that he might be buried without ostentation in the open country, in a field on the road between Krublowitz and Kunsh, on a spot which he described, under three lime trees. On the observation of the General, that he must not think his death so near, as the physicians by no means considered his case as desperate, he said : —" I know that I shall die; for I feel it better than the physicians can judge of my situation. I tlie without reluctance,, for I am now of no farther use; tell the King that I love him, and shall die faithful to him." He gave the General his hand to take leave. The next day, his Majesty, accompanied by Prince Charles, paid him a visit. At first he was in a kind of lethargy, and did not notice what was passing; but afterwards he knew the King. His Majesty, among other expressions of regard, said to him—" You may be assured that nobody takes more interest in your welfare than I do. I know what the country and myself owe to you. Do not give up the hope of recovery; follow the advice of your physicians, and take the remedies that are offered you'' ( the Prince had latterly omitted to do this).— He thanked his Majesty, and recommended the Princess to him. In the last four days he vyas without pain, but his strength greatly declined, and he was quite unable to speak. The body is embalmed, and placed for the present in the church of Knblasyitg. He waa born, ( as far as we can learn from former accounts) on the 16th of December 17- 1* 2; and has therefore lived 76 years, 8 months, and 25 days. He had been 45 years in the army. MANCHESTER. Friday mottling D. Kaye and J. Saville were at the New Bailey, Manchester, brought up. A person said, that he went to the White Moss, O. n the 15th of August last, to see what was passing, and that he heard Kaye give the word, •". Right about,'' & c. Two or three score then came up, and among them Kaye, who struck him. Other persons deposed to the same effect against Kaye and Saviile ; but none of them could identify Saville, who was accordingly discharged. Kaye, being called on for his defence, . said that he did not strike the complainant; but did not deny that he was present at the meeting.— He was not aware that he had committed a breach of the peace. Mr Ethelstone— I believe that you are a downright blackguard reformer. Some of you reformers ought to be hanged ; and some of you are sure to be hanged ; the rope is already round your neck's; the la< v has been a great deal too lenient with you.—( Addressing the Clerk) — I will have no bail for this ruffianly crew, unless they have some money. Bail was then offered, and particularly examined by the Magistrate, who objected to him ; but finally said, that if he could prove to- morrow that he was sufficient, he would be accepted. The bail declared that he should have no difficulty in doing this, as he was well known to several persons in the habit of attending the Court. The next case was that of a Mr Wilson, a respectable salesman, who appeared in Court with the dress and manners of a gentleman, and complained that R. Gower, a special constable, had this morning attacked him, and, without the least provocation, knocked him down. To support this charge he called Mr Johnson, who is also a respectable salesman, and who fully confirmed his statement. The constable said, that he did not strike Mr Wilson till he was collared by him; but called no witness. He was ordered to find bail, himself in L. 40, and two sureties in L. 20 each, to answer for the assault at the sessions. A complaint was then made on the behalf of a person of the name of Barrett. The charge was, that he had been ill used and violently beaten by two Police officers, named Prinnett and Collier, in a public- house called the Grapes, on Fritiay night last. Barrett himself was unable to attend, and a letter was read from a surgeon, stating that there were certain livid marks about him which probably had been produced by blows. The defence was, that the man was very drunk, and that, when they had taken him out of the house, he slipt out of their arms and fell on the pavement, which occasioned the bruises. Several witnesses swore positively to the ill usage of Barrett by the beadles; but a host of officers deposed, that' the bruises had not been occasioned by any violence on the part of the beadles. The Reverend Magistrate considered the weight of evidence in favour of the officers, and dismissed the complaint. « CORONER'S INQUEST. We have received a copious account of p^ rt of the proceedings before the Coroner'sylnquest, held at Oldham on Saturday, on the body of J . Lees, suspe'eteri to Iwve died of wounds received c* i the 16th ult. at . Manchester. This account comes up to seven o-' clock on SatufdSy evening, at which time there was every prospect of the Inquest being adjourned till another day. The father, mother- inlaw, and brother- in- law of the deceased were examined, who proved that he was Well in health when he left home", between eight and nine o'clock in the morning of the 16th of August ; but that be came home a little before dark on the evening Of that day, with a wound on his elbow. It*. had also bruises on his back and sides ; and before he diet he lo., t the use- of his left side, and the sijrht of his iefr. eye, and nothing that he swallowed remained on his stomach. A medical man, named Karnshaw, to whom the deceased went several times for advice during the illness which terminated his life, refused to be sworn, oti account of bis belonging to the Society of Friend!:. A woman, who assisted in laying out the dead body, deposed to the diseased state of it, Insomuch that it appeal - ed tt> her " as if he had been ticd- t to the h'alberts and flogged;" and she thought « ' that his inside- was putrid. 1'— Mr Basnett, surgeon, examined the body externally, and found the cut oli the elbow about two inches long, and an inch and a half deep. The bone was injured. This witness was of opinion, that the deceased died of mortification, induced by wounds and bruises. This judgment he was led'to f'prin from the neral external appearances on the. body. An. injury on the spine, he said, as every one knows, would produce paralysis, and loss of sight; and would also affect the/ stomach, so that nothing taken into it would remain there. Mr J. Cox, who appears to be another surgeon, deposed that he opened the body, by order of the constable's, about two days after death. He positively sv.- ears, " that there was neither putrefaction nor mortification, but approaching to putrefaction after his ' death." He found the Small intestines, and that part of the bmenturti which covered them, in a high state of inflammation. This was undet* the part most bruised. The right lobe: of the lungs, aT well as the windpipe, was full of suffused blood, whic:> he thought must have proceeded from the bursting of a blood- vessel in the lungs. Though he considered this to ' be the cause of the deceased's death, yet in his opinion it. might have been stopped in its progress, as Weil as the* internal inflammation, by frequent and judicious blood- letting. lie could not say that death or the internal appearances were caused by external violence. This is a faithful abstract of tbe proceedings ( as far as they have gone) at this Inquest, which interests the people in that partof the country to an uncommon degree. Mr Harmer attended, and examined the witnesses ; and it is but justice to Mr Farrind, the Coroner, to say, that he treated that gentleman with every attention.- From the contradictory evidence of the medical men, it would appear that Mr Harmer wiil not be able to make out his case, that the deceased died of wilful violence committed on him at the Manchester meet, ing; and therefore we shall be no nearer to inquiry into the conduct of the Magistrates and yeomanry on that fatal occasion than we were before this important inquest was set on foot.

Saturday noon the Prince Regent landed at Portsmouth, from his pleasure yacht, and immediately set off for Brighton, where his Royal Highness arrived the same evening, in excellent health and spirits. Last night his Royal Highness, accompanied by Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, arrived at Carlton House. Captain Vernon is appointed to the Blossom ; Lieutenant Ches « hire to the Stork ; Lieutenant Beckford to be Flag- Lieutenant to Admiral Otway, Vice Burton promoted. The York, 74 guns, is to be fitted for a con vict ship, in the room of the Laurel, at Portsmouth. The Heron, 18, Captain Haymer, is fitting at Plymouth, for the St Helena station. The Malabar, 74, Captain Clavell, is paying off there.— The Ocean, 120, is ordered to be docked; and the Primrose sloop has been hauled up . on a On Wednesday last a meeting was held at Driglington, to promote a radical reform, and to censure the proceedings of the Manchester Magistrates. Mr Mason of l i t t l e London was called to the chair, and the meeting was addressed by Mr Willan of Dewsbery, and by a Mr Smithson, who gave a minute detail of his escape from the most imminent danger, on the 16th of August, at Manchester. Music, flags, and females were present, and heightened the effect. A subscription was made for the same purpose as that at Leeds, amounting to L. 2 4s. 2d.; and nonconsumptisn resolutions were passed.— Leeds Mercury. The Carnation, 18, Captain Shiffner, sailed from St John's Newfoundland, on the 16th ult. with his Excellency Sir Charles Hamilton, Bart, on board for Trepassey. The Grasshopper and Egeria had sailed on visits to distant ports of the island. Bills of exchange from London on Vienna direct were drawn on Friday for the first time.— The intercourse has heretofore been maintained through the medium either of Frankfort or of Hamburgh. The exchange will be in guilders and kreutzers, and the first operation has been made atlten guilders five kreutzers to the pound sterling; sixty kreutzers make one guilder or florin. Bills were taken on Friday by Messrs Rothschild and other principal houses. A Curacoa paper of the 31st of July contains the following intelligence from the Spanish Main :—" A report reached this island on Sunday last, of an engagement having taken place on the 19th instant, near to Barcelona, between the Spanish and Patriot fleets, in which the former are said to have been defeated, and the Patriots to have effected a landing at Pozuelos, a short distance to windward of Barcelona. It is likewise stated, that the Spanish sloop of war Nymph had gone into La Guayra, after the action, in a very disabled state, and that the Patriots had succeeded in capturing a brig called the Tigre, formerly a merchantman, but which had been lately armed and equipped as a man of war in Puerto Cabello. On the receipt of this disastrous news at La Guayra, an embargo was immediately laid on in that port. Such are the latest accounts from Puerto Cabello, and we believe these are all tlie particulars that have transpired of the above transactions ; but we may expect, by the first arrival from the Main, a circumstantial account of the result of these interesting events. The event of the glorious triumph of Marino at Chispero, or Cantaura, and of the concentration of all the forces of that General, and those of Cedeno, Zaraza, and Bermudes, with the expedition of Margarita, is a sure harbinger of the fatal and irretrievable blow prepared for the Spaniards, which must undoubtedly open the gates of Caraccas to the Independents. The strength of the Republicans may be sufficiently inferred from their having lately sent an auxiliary body of 2000 men, by the way of Cucuta, to assist the operations of General Santander, who had already reached Sogamoso, in the environs of the capital of New Granada." CORN EXCHANGE, LONDON— Sept. 27. Our supply of wheat was large to- day from Essex and Kent, but the late rains affording a prospect of the watermills bein « s o o n able to resume working, the sales of fine- wheat wer. tolerably brisk in the early part of the morning, and picked samples of white sold £ s. per quarter higher than on this day week, and other descriptions lully support last Monday's prices.

The most dreadful excesses still continue to be committed against the Jews. In some places attempts have been made to set fire to their houses, and, from time to time, placards are posted up, in which the people are intreated ta massacre all the Israelites. Intelligence from Copenhagen, dated the 12th inst. states, that a second riot against the Jews had taken place in that city, of so violent a character, that the military were ordered to fire upon the rioters, in consequence of which several had been killed and many wounded. ii no alteration.

The most afflicting accounts have been received at Paris, from Madrid, dated 14th instant, They state, that the yellow fever had increased with alarming rapidity, during the last few days, in the Isle of Leon. From the lst to the 20th of August 105 persons died of the contagion, 392 recovered, and 723 were attacked. From the 20th ( the day on . which the communication? ceased) the mortality was 315, recovered 663; and the number of sick had amounted to 1313, The latest accounts from the above isle stale, that on the four first days of the present month 192 fell viciims; on the 4th instant alone 57 died. This alarming increase is attributed to the wretched condition of the indigent poor,, whose famishing numbers favour the progress of. the pestilec. tial - malady. . - . PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. • London, Sept. 27. Letters fronv Cadiz, of Vie Sth'instant, mention, that the fever'is spreading with some rapidity in the neighbourhood of Caefi*, and one letter distinctly states that it had found entrance into the city. There is reason, however, to believe) from an absence of all confirmation, that this assertion is incorrect. In Gibraltar it seems. that the strongest apprehensions are entertained, and intercourse with Spain had been completely interrupted. Extract of a letter, dated Gibraltar, 4th September:—" tn consequence nf the accounts received from Spain thai the epidemic fever there was extending its ravages, the communication with that country ( except through process of quarantine) was entirely closed here yesterday afternoon." The complaints of persons in London, who indulged sanguine expectations as to the success of the patriots in Venezuela, have become general, the time having arrived and pass ed when the revolutionary Government agreed to liquidate the demands against it; so that many hundred thousand pounds remain unpaid. As might have been expected, the Deputies just ariived from Venezuela to raise a fresh . loan for the Patriotic Government have not attained any sum whatever, although ths offers of large- tracks of land and bills bearing a very high interest are tempting. The holders- of bills drawn on the Government nf New Granada, by the agents of M'Gregor, arc more hopeless than the clairfiants on the Government ol Venezuela. An express to a great Jew contractor arrived in London this afterhoon from Paris. The principal object of it was to convey some intelligence regarding the Freifch funds, which on Friday afternoon, closed at 71. SO. Through the same channel the Moniteur of Saturday last Was received, but it contains r. o public news of importance, and relates chiefly to the persecution of the jews in Germany, regarding which some few new particulars of little interest are communicated. The receipt of tills express bccasloiicd the transaction of a good deal of business in French stock in London. The S per cents, were sold freely at 71. 60., but this price is no material advance upon theJast bargains. The meeting of the Livery in Common Hall on Wednesday is the principal topic of conversation in the city, and appearances strongly indicate a severe contest on the occasion. The absurd cdndnct of the meeting at the London Tavern has been generally reprobated, as more likely to lead to tumult and disturbance than to the preservation of " order and decorum." A counter meeting of the Livery is to take place this evening at the Horn9 Tavern, Doctors' Commons, and another, will be held to- morrow at the Globe, in Fleet Street. This has been a flat day for business at the Stock Exchange, and the prices have hardly varied. The scarcity of money continues. The Mowing are the last prices :— £ per Ct.

George Home Robertson was ordained minister of Ladykirk, vacant by the de^ th of the Rev. George Tod. Tbe i l e v . George Tough, of Ayton, preached and presided on the occasion. ... The 1st battalion of the Rifle Brigade, consisting of nearly 700 fine young men, and the 13th regiment, which were disembarked from the Liffey, and other vessels, on Monday and Tuesday, have marched to Ghrsgow, the . former corps on Tuesday, and tl^ e latter, jfestferjjayin or. n ing- Oil Thursday the 23d inst. the 7th regiment of dragoon guards, corhmanded by Colonel Dunne, which had been stationed at Nottingham for the last nine weeks, marched thence . for Carlisle, from whence they are to proceed into Scotland.

THEATRE.— Mr Kean commenced an engage ment of twelve nights here", on Monday, in the character of Othello, a part in which he never fails to draw forth loud applauses from his audience. Miss Lacy, from Dublin, a very elegant young actress, made her first appearance as Desdemona, and was very favourably received. The boxes these last three nights have been respectably attended, and the pit and galleries have been crowded. Arrived at the Cross Keys Inn, Kelso, within these few days, the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, Lord and Lady Clive, for Alnwick Castle; the Marquis and Marchioness of Tweeddale; Colonels Grey and Sligh, for London; and the Earl of ' l'yrconnel, for the south. We are glad to observe the very great increase of travellers of rank, both from the north and the south, who are induced by the beauties of the neighbouring scenery to take Kelso in their route.— Kelso Mail. Lord Lynedoch and the Marquis of Graham have left Stockholm after a fortnight's stay. A short time before, they were invitetl to dine with HIGH ROADS. The following is extracted from the report of John Loudon M'Ad a in, Esq. of the city'of Bristol, to the trustees of the turnpike and other high roads in the county of Edinburgh : — To lift, prepare materials, and relay a mile of road eight yards in width, at 3d. a superficial yard, will cost L. 176. To pick out the large stones, level the lumps, and to smooth the surface of a road eight yards wide, will cost Is. Gd. a chain, or L. 12 a mile. Clearing water courses, included in the contract in both cases. It is difficult, upon such . a view of the roads of this county, os my time has allowed me to take, to ascertain precisely how much of the road, will require effectually to be lifted and relaid ; hut from tbe calculation of the means of each road presented with this, it w ill appear that, without exceeding the amount of the disposable revenue, the greatest part of the principal roads may be put into a very a » uod state within the first year. It is more than probable that a skilful general surveyor would, upon inspecting tbe roads more ip detail than has been in my. power, find, that the sum of disposable revenue will be fully adequate to repair more than half the roads of the county, and to give a- partial repair to the remainder in the first year ; and lie wouid be able to bring the whole into order in the second year. After the roads have been brought into good. order, the annual, expenditure for repair under a continuance of skilful management will be greatly reduced below the former sum required for the same service. The expenditure for ordinary repair, in 1818, amounted to the sum of L. 19,"> 22, exclusive of Leith Walk. distiict. Were I to hazard an opinion, I should name L. 9000 per annum as a very sufficient sum for ordinary repair of all the/ roads under the care of the commissioners within the County of Edinburgh, which, with the expence of the executive department, clerks, Salaries, and incidents, would nut' amount to more than, half of the disposable revenue of the tr- uijt, leaving a sum of L. 10,000 per annum at the disposal of the commissioners, either for improvements, or for relief of the agricultural carriage from part of the present rate of tolls, at their; discretion, while the interest of the debt would be regularly paid, and the sinking fund ( equal to nearly six per cent, per annum of capital) would continue to operate its final extinction. JOIIN LOUDON M'ADAM. Lately, a grieve from the east country, on his way to Edinburgh, to draw a sum of money for shearers' wages, was attacked by two men, who robbed him of his watch and some money; the villains beat him cruelly, and threw him into a ditch. On Thursday last, the Sheriff fined a carter in three guineas and a half, for not taking proper charge of two horses and carts— in consequence of which ona of them came upon a gig and overturned the same. Warrant was granted to imprison the offender until the fine was paid. Two persons were on Thursday charged with entering the house o f a gentleman in Gilmour Place, under improper and suspicious circumstances ; one of them was fined 10s. and the other discharged.—- Three young men, Brown, Nicolson, and Shiels, accused of stealing a watch from a gentleman at the corner of the North Bridge, on the evening of Saturday last, and who were afterwards apprehended near the West Bow, in the act of rioting, were brought up for judgment ; two of them were sent to Bridewell for sixty days, ordered to pay all damages, and to find security for good behaviour.— A lad of the name of M'Donald, charged with occasioning a riot, and raising an alarm, whereby the vvatchtnen were taken off their duty at the Register Office on Saturday evening, was fined, and bound over to keep the peace in future.— A woman was sent sixty days to Bridewell, for pawning; various articles of wearing apparei intrusted to her charge, and selling the pawn tickets to a broker ; part of the goods were recovered, and the person who bought the tickets paid the value of the goods not recovered.— Another woman was sent to Bridewell, on a similar charge, for a like period. The porter of the Bank of Scotland, Glasgow, was on Tuesday night attacked in Argyle Street by two men, who put a sticking plaster on his mouth, dragged him into a close, and robbed him of a parcel containing bank notes, a silver watch, and some shillings. It is remarkable that the robbery was committed during the time that a number of passengers behuved to be- on the pavement, and when the light, both from the moon and the lamps, might have led to the apprehension of the robbers; but the populace seem to think that it . is nobody's business to prevent crimes but the police.— Glasgow Journal. COMETS— According to the calculations of the learned astronomer of Bremen, M. Olbers, after a lapse of 8S, 000 years, a comet will approach to the earth to the same proximity as the moon; after < 1,000,000 years it will approach to tiie distance of 7,700 geographical miles, and then, if its attraction equals that o f t h e earth, the waters of the ocean will be elevated 13,000 feet, and a deluge will necessarily ensue ; after a lapse of 2- 20,000,000 years, it will clash with the earth, and what the consequences will be is easy to determine.

Thursday last, Mr IJenry Mackenzie, the venerable author of ihe Man of Feeling, was introduced to Prince Leopold; ai' the particular desire of his Royal Highness, who continued in conversation with him for upwards of an hour. Sir Robert Gardiner, K. C. B. has transmitted to the Lord Provost, by command of his Royal Highness Prince Leopold, one hundred guineas, to be distributed among the following charities, in such way as his Lordship may be pleased to dir e c t :— Royal Infirmary, Deaf and Dumb Institution, Asylum for the Blind, and Society for the Destitute Sick: , which sums he has directed to be paid to those institutions in equal portions. His Royal Highness Prince Leopold passed through Selkirk on Friday, on his return to England. Mr Walter Scott, Sheriff of the coGnty, gave his Royal Highness the meeting about two miles from the town, for the purpose of paying his respects, and was most graciously received by the Prince; who, we understand, instantly recognized him, and alluded to the acquaintance he had wi{ fi Mr Scott at Paris, in 1815. At the bridge his Royal Highness was met by the Magistrates and Councillors of Selkirk, accompanied by the entire population of that ancient burgh. A number of stout fellows took the horses from fhe Prince's carriage, and drew it into the town, amid the acclamations of the inhabitants, and such of the neighbouring gentry as the very haity'notice of* his approach had collected. At the'Cross of Selkirk his Royal Highness left his " carriage, and was conducted to a table handsomely set out in the Market- place with wine and refreshments. Mr Lang, the Chief Magistrate, in a very appropriate and well delivered speech, requested his Royal Higbness's acceptance of the freedom of the burgh ; to which his Royal Highness acceded with'that courtesy and kindness of demeanour which have marked all his public appearances in Scotland ; and an enthusiastic bumper was drunk to the health of the " Young Sutor of Selkirk," accompanied by the shouts of the assembled multitude. Burgess tickets were also conferred on Sir Robert Gardiner, Count Hardinbrock, and Doctor Stockmar, who attended the Prince. His Royal Highness only remained at Selkirk to change horses on his road to Carlisle, where he proposed to sleep ; but we learn that, after having expressed his regret his time would not permit his visiting the far- famed Abbey of Melrose, he added, that " there was a place in the neighbourhood he could not pass unvisited — the residence of Mr Walter- Scott." His Royal Highness accordingly diverged from his direct route, and, attended by his distinguished host, ( who was accompanied on the occasion by the greater pat t of his amiable and accomplished family) paid a visit of some hours at Abbotsford, from whence, after having partaken of refreshments, his Royal Highness and suite pursued their route to Hawick. The Prince, while at Ahbotsford, appeared much interested in the curious collection of ancient armour in the armoury there, particularly with the sword of the gallant Montrose, and an exquisitely worked steel pistol, which was constantly worn by the no less memorable Dundee. His Royal Highness is understood to have regretted much that the extent of hie northerir tour had not left him leisure to visit ' he Border country ; especially the ruins of Melrose, and the scenery of Kelso and Jedburgh, so rich in natural beauty, as well as in memorials of antiquity. The Prince expressed, however, his purpose of returning to Scotland at no distant period, and it obviously appeared, that the frank and affectionate welcome which his Royal Highness had received from all ranks in this kingdom, had made a deep and most favourable impression on his mind. His Royal Highness reached Hawick about five o'clock in the afternoon. On Saturday last, Donald Galbfaith, a might, while employed at a new vessel building in the yard of Messrs U. Steel arid Soos, ' Greenock, met Ivis death by falling from a scaffold on which he was working. He survived the accident about an, hour. BIRTHS.

MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECK. In our paper of the 8th instant, we mentioned the loss ofthe Albion, Wilson, from Antiguaihound to this port. The following is a more detailed account: — In the afternoon of Tuesday, the 31st ult. a vessel was observed in distress off Lyt ham. The King's boat was shortly sent off to her assistance, but, owing to the violence of the storm, could not render any effectual aid. About ten o'clock at night, a boat was observed drifting towards the shore, on which the King's boat rowed to its assistance, and took from it ten men,- who were carried to Lytham in a most deplorable condition. One of tbe men being left on the beach, whilst the others were conveyed to the village, had crawled a . considerable distance, and made some resistance when found, supposing himself to have been cast on some inhospitable coast.— The vessel proved to be the Albion, Captain Wilson, from Antigua, for this port, and heavily laden with sugar. She was blown from the Welsh coast, with two other I vessels, in the gale of Monday night, and'struck uponthe Horse- bank, off Lytham, about six o'clock on Tuestliiy evening, in this situation two of the crew got into a boat, which. immediately went down, and the two sailors perished. The - long boat was then prepared,' and the mate and nine sailors were on hoard, assisting the others and taking in some valuable property, when a sudden gale and a mountainous wave carried the boat from the deck, nnd left the captain, three sailors, and three passengers, ( Peter Nichols, Esq. with two daughters, whom he was bringing to Liverpool for an English education), to perish with the wreck. The party in tbe boat found themselves in little better case than the unfortunate companions they had left in'the Vessel ; for having only a single oar, they were quite unable to direct it amidst tbe mighty waves on - which it- was borne, and they had all sunk, despairing and exhausted," to the bottom of the boat, except one boy, who still endeavoured to ward off any danger which might threaten, when picked up as we have before mentioned Liverpool Couth r. We have authority for stating, that Principal Taylor, on the part of the University, and Mr Nairne, writer to the signet, on behalf of the Barrack Department, on Saturday last, made an ar- I rangement, by which the latter obtains not only | certain ground upon the north- west of the present infantry barracks, but also an acre and a half of the University ground upon the north side o f t he barracks, for the purpose of erecting a cavalry barrack; and the fever hospital is in the mean time actively fitting up as a temporary cavalry barrack, until the permanent one is erected. Although the arrangement is subject, for a week, to the approbation or rejection of the Senatus Academicus, and the Barrack Board, there is every reason to believe that it will be ratified by theee bodies. A temporary shed is immediately to be erected in the present barrack yard for the reception of artillery horses.— Glasgow Herald. The Incorporation of Cordiners in Glasgow, upon the 24- th current, passed an unanimous vote of thanks to the Honourable the Lord Provost, Magistrates, nnd other constituted authorities in that city and suburbs, for the moderation and zeal they exercised, and the prudent anil effectual means they adopted in suppressing the late riots, and restoring tranquillity to the community. Sunday, St John's Church, Glasgow, was opened for divine service, when ihe Rev. A. Thomson of Edinburgh, and Dr Chalmers, the minister of the parish, preached in presence of the Magistrates and aniost crowded congregation. The first gentleman commenced the service of the day, and took for his text Hebrews iii. aniLl2th. Dr Chalmers preached in the afternoon from Isaiah xxix. 9, 10, 11, 12. In the evening the parochial sitters took their places, when Mr Thomson again preached. Notwithstanding the interest attending the occasion, and the anxiety to hear the distinguished divines who preached, the mode of access was so well arranged, that the whole was conducted with the order and quietness of an ordinary Sabbath.

PROPOSALS FOR ESTABLISHING THE PATENTS; SHIPPING CONVEYANCE FOR PASSENGERS, BETWEEN LEITH, THE PLACES ADJACENT, & LONDON. ^ J^ HE expediency and necessity of employing- a* Vessel upon an improved plan, for the conveyance of Passengers, & c. between the ports of Leith and London, have been long felt and acknowledged The miserable accommodation in the steerage, and the high charge for cabin passage in the coas ing traders, are objects of just, complaint, which loudly call for a speedy remedy. Various circumstances render the wished for improvements practicable with greater facility now than at any past period,' The new inventions by Messrs Annesley and Sower by, for" constructing vessels of every description, hold forth superior advantages that recommend their universal adoption. The mode also of propelling Ships and Boats by mechanicaj power, and upon the most approved principle, has engaged peculiar attention, and with a similar view. It is confidently thought a Passage Vessel, embracing thes< » great improvements, would prove highly beneficial to " the public. Facilitating thus' the intercourse between the above mtmed places, must evidently operate variously in giving fresh impulse to trade ; for, the plan in contemplation will enable rhe Proprietors to charge more moderate fares than the present, while it affords suitable convenience to all classes of passengers ; and hence it would in all probability more than double the actual number^ All scientific men who have seen the New System of Ship Building recommend it as eminently calculated for the safety of lives and property. Those concerned in Mercantile Affairs, as well as Ship- owners and Bu lders, wiil feel interested iu v an object of such general good, and be highly gratified on perusing a Description ( just printed) of the New System of Naval Architecture. Viewing the proposed plan impartially, it neither injure? individual interest, nor any exiting trading company ; 011 the contrary, the change effected thereby will benefit all: it is therefore presumed no objection, 011' any liberal principle, can be opposed. • To give a slight idea of the public advantages likely to re- ! suit from the object in view, reference need only be made to those Mreidy experienced at places whe^ e the Steam Boats have been introduced. The lively state of business, for instance, at Margate this season, exceeds ibat~ or any former time. This change is properly atiributed to the cheup and comfortable mode of conveyance bet ween it and I. qndon In order, therefore, to carry this object into immediate effect, it is pro* posed that enterprising individuals join in a Stock, to- be . ubscribed in Shares of L. 50 each. The. undertaking promises to realise ihe most sanguine expectations. An Estimate of the expence of buildipg a Vessel on the New System, with that of the most approved method of propelling it, is preparing*, It is ascertained to afford very considerable saving ; and such is the dispatch peculiar to ir, that rhe Vessel can bt? completed for cue voyage in about two months. Shares maybe subscribed for, on application by letter, ( post paid) ro Mr J. Gordon, deliverfd • to the Keeper of the Exchange Pleading Room, Leith, and M 53, Lower Street, Loudua. r - ; iir.- nxn OiD BAIL FA"— Sept. 25., Mrs Mary Ridding, who had been convicted of Stealing the infant child of John Sclirier, was this morning brought up to receive the judgment of the Court. She was dressed precisely as yesterday, with the exception of having substituted a black for a white veil. She was much agitated, and was again accompanied by Mrs Appleby, her nurse. On being asked by the Clerk of the Arraigns, in the usual fcrm, vv'hat she had to say why .- he should not receive judgment according to law, she trembled exceedingly, and seemed to require all her fortitude to sustain her spirits. The Common Serjeant immediately proceeded to address . her on the enormity " of the offence of which she had been found guilty. In her ease there certainly were shades ol extenuation, which entitled her to the lenient consideration of the Court; nevertheless, it was impossible for any person possessing the feelings of humanity not to regard the crime which she had committed as one calculated to produce the most agonizing feelings in the breast o f a patent. It was true that she was not herself a mother, and that from her youth she might not view, in all its bearings, the painful consequences of her capricious conduet. The circumstance of her tender and affectionate care of the infant, too, operatedjin her favour, and proved at least that she had not been influenced by any malignant motive. In every view < if the case, and under the strong recommendation of the Jury, the Court felt itself justified hi mitigating her punishment from the extreme severity providedby the act under which the had been indicted, to the payment of a fine of one shilling, and to an imprisonment in the House of Correction, Cold Bath Fields, for twelve calender months. • Mrs Ridding, although deeply affected, seemed sepsible of the lenity with which she had been treated, afid, in broken accents, expressed her thankfulness to the Court. - She repeated, bowever, that she should have endeavoured to discover the parents of the child, and that she should have ever treated it with maternal tenderness, From the early hour at which she was put to the bar, there were ' scarce any persons but the officers of the Court present, and she was thus saved the additional misery of another appearance to a crowd of curious spectators. ' MEETING AT YORK. A requisition having been presented to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of York, signed by above 480' inhabitants/ of that'town and neighbourhood, desiring him to call a public meeting," to take into consideration the late unfortunate events at Manchester, liis Lordship appointed Monday se'en'mght for that purpose ; and erected a hustings in the Guildhall, in order to accommodate tbe different'gentlemen who were likely to attend as orators oh the occasion. About ten in the morning, 4000 or 5000 pfcople paraded the streets of the city with banners and music, and in what is called at Manchester martial array, for they Inarched in a regular procession of six abreast. A man preceded tliem with a large black board On a pole, on . each side of which was inscribed, in white letters, " Order," whilst the whole of it was decorated with black crape. The band of music came next, after which was borne a large flag, inscribed " Magna Charta," Trial by Jury," " Bill of Rights," and " Liberty of the I'ress;" then a yellow flag, with the inscription, " T o the immortal memory of the Reformers killed at Manchester on tbe • 16th day of August." The Union Hag succeeded, inscribed " England, Scotland, Ireland," similar to that exhibited bv the orator at Smithfield. The whole were decorated with emblems of mourning. In Coney Street the band played the Dead March iii Saul, during which the jtreat cfencourse of people took their bats off, which gave t » thc £ ce: iea very solemn ^ nd imposing appearance. About half past eleven the Committee, accompanied by tbe Hon. L. Dundas, W. Bryan Cooke, Esq., S. W. Nicoll, Ksq. and several other gentlemen of respectability, proCeedud from Ettridgc's hotel to • the Mansion - house On their arrival there they were loudly greeted by the populace. Tlie Lord Mayor took the chair ot twelve o'clock. In opening the business of tbe day, bis Lordship took occasion to observe that he: had not called for the attendance of a iingle regular constable, and that he had not sworn one special one. The resolutions, nine in number, and nearly verbatim copied from those ufjUr Alderman Waithinan, were proposed in a speech of great length by Mr S. W. Nic'ofl, a barrister, and the Recorder of Doncaster They were seconded by Alderiiian Ilufsley. The Honourable L. Dundas, M. I', for York, then came forward, and was lofldly cheered by the meeting The present, lie said, was a question of a very novel and extraordinary nature ; it was this— Js there a constitution, iir is there not?—( Cheers.)— If the people had not a right to meet, the bill of rights was nothing more than a dead letter; if the right of assembling was to be limited at the will of the Magistracy, the Bill of Bights was nothing; for then any timid person, by making a timid tit. ( Mavil before a timid " Magistrate, might have the most legal meetingTmVncdiately dispersed ; and yet it was upon " ftiis ground that an attempt was made to justify tbe . Magistrates of Manchester.—( Hear.)— He maintained that ihe- people had a right to meet as they did, if they chose. ¥ 6. have a little music to give weight to their meeting Could- iiot be. productive of any danger to the community ; not vet Could it be injurious to it that the countrymen • hould walk together in ranks, or, as it was now termed, martial array; for what harrcrcould possibly result from this playing of a fn" e or tbe beating of a drum ? lie fairly own, that if there was any danger from niar- - . tial array, it was from the ifiartiitl array of those who v- ere sent in to attack the people { Cheers.)— Though he fully agreed with the general spirit of the resolutions, lie could not help olfecrving, that he was rather in favour of • » n address- demanding inquiry than of a declaration exjit easing their opinions on the late unfortunate pircu. m- Ktaucetf.. He objected to tbe latter plan, because he did biit wish the meeting la imitate his Majesty's Ministers In any thing. He ' did- not wifh to prejudge the question, '* » they bad first done themselves, and as they bad after- ' Mlaritefarced their royal master to do, for that be too bad " fSrtsjBdged was evident, fr'om a comparison of dates. The ihuiancholy events took place on the l6l. li, and the Prince Itcgenf'' s thanks were dated the 21st.—( Hear, hear.)— lie ulticli ' to them, bis constituents, because be was no, v, and bad been from bis earliest youth upwards, a ' friend to file liberty of the people; he trusted that he rtoiild'tie so to the day of bis death, and that, dying, lie Atiight bequeath that sentiment to his son (. Loud apjflltise.)— It Was said that'this was a party question ; this lie positively denied ; it was a question between tlie lovers of me constitution and its enemies ; and if it ever became • 1 party aiiesfion, it would be owing to tbe Government leaguing itself- openly with tbe magistrates. After pledging himself to support ail inquiry into this dark business, ^ ioth in ihe Hotlse and out of it, the Honourable and vorthy Member retired from the front of life hustings amid a volley of applause. Colonel Cooke of Whcatley, Mr Walker, Mr ITargrave, • ; it] d other geptlcmen addscssed the meeting to the same pufpp'rt. ' r The Lord- Mayor their put the resolutions above staled, to; fhe meeting, and declared them carried without a dissentient Voice; The thankfe of the meeting were then given to the ilij; ht_ Honourable the Lord Mayor, for his ready attent i o n ' ^ the rights of. the people by calling this meeting, ,^' nd for liis most independent and exemplary conduct" in til* chair. The Multitude then dispersed without tbe least tumult. . The Spartan, Captain W. F. Wise, C. B. L e e, Captain # luker, and tile Raleigh, Captain Baumhardt, have sailed from Portsmouth for Leith, with the wives, children, and baggage belonging o the 13th legiment and rifle brigade. The Spartan has on- board 161 women, and 183 children. DONCASTER RACES. SATURDAY, s e r r; i s. M itch lor. 11) 0 guineas each, 8 st. Mr Catter- on's eh. c. by Walton, 1.

The following may be relied upon as a correct detail of the circumstances which then took, place. It appears that the stale trick of making false starts to harass tbe Uvourlce l'nrse » was resorted to Kjr some of the Yorkshire jockeys. Al. Loci: wood, the Judge, seeing what was going on, rode among the jockeys, and told tbem, they should positively start after they had all answered they were ready; on this being done, he gave the word " Go," and then immediately mounted the Judge's chair to adjudge the rare. Mr Ferguson's Antoni'o came in first, was weighed, and declared the winner ; when tbe Judge and every other person wcre much astonished at seeing Agricola, followed by Sir Walter, Harmodius, and Wild Boy, etime in, and the riders exclaim, they bad not started. Mr Lfickwood then observed* he " had once started tbe race, and decided asto the winner, and worfld not start any horse for the same race.— ' The Stewards, however, could not agree on the business, and t' e horses run a second time. It is to be referred to the Jockey Club at Newmaiket, to decide whether Antonio or Sir Walter are entitled to ihe race; and large bets arc made on tbe event. CIRCUIT INTELLIGENCE. Inverary, Sept. 20. This day came on, before the Right Hon. Lord Pitmilly, the following trials:— Archibald Torrance, accused of stealing three pounds from a garret at Bailymichael, in the isle of Arran, and of stealing a boat in- which he made his escape, having pleaded Guilty, was sentenced to nine months imprisonment. Duncan Morrison pleaded Guilty to a charge of stealing - ix. casks or thereby of whisky, and received the same sentence. " John M'Glashan, accused of assault, was outlawed for not appearing. Archibald M'Lean, merchant iti Oban, Donald M'Lean, surgeon there, and John MucaOuin, manager of . the Oban tan- works, were indicted for an assault, in so far as, in the beginning of March IS10, ill consequence of their apprehending a marriage between Neil M'Lean, father to the two former; and Margaret M'Leau, his servant, they drove the said Margaret M'Lean by violence from two different houses where she was peaceably in bed at the time, and maltreated and assaulted her on the head and other parts of her body, and kicked her on the ground. They were all convicted, after a trial of some length; and Archibald M'Lean Was sentenced to be imprisoned in the tolbooth of luvcrary for two months, ar. d to pay a fine of L740 ;. and the two other panncls being recommended by tbe Jury to the lenity of the Court, were fined in L. 30 each, and thfy were all ordained to find caution to keep the peace for three years. Stirling, Sept. 21. There wcre only two cases before tbe Court. William Greig,- accused of - breaking- into a bouse in Alloa, by means of a false key, and stealing from a locked drawer ! 8s. or thereby, having pleaded Guilty, and the libel being restricted, was sentenced to seven years transportation. Thomas Ecnnie,' schoolmaster at Coals- Naughton, a id Alexander Hunter, junior, miner there, were convicted of assaulting' and deforcing William Watt, messenger in Stirling, in the execution o f a caption, and sentenced to six months imprisonment, and to find eaution to keep the peace. Dumfries, Sep'. 23. Tliis day the Justiciary Court was opened here by Lord Justice Clerk and Lord Gillies. ' The first persons brought to the bar were Ilobert Harries, John M'Dougal, and Elizabeth M'Lean br Harries. Two other persons originally belonged to this gang, but one of these had made Kis escape, and the other, after a precognition bad been taken, obtained his discbarge, on the ground that the crime could not be brought home to him. The indictment contained a variety of counts, and charged the parties, first with assaulting Henry M'Myn, tenant, Iligh Kelton, on tbe l!) th of May last, and robbing him of a silver watch and several other articles ; secondly, with breaking into a store- room in the house of Mrs Culton, Irish Street, and stealing therefrom six silver teaspoons and two pieces of cheese ; thirdly, with breaking into Sommervilie bouse, then occupied by Robert Taylor, Esq. and Carrying off a number of valuable articles from that gentleman's wardrobe ; fourthly, with opening with false keys a chest of drawers in the house of John Baines, innkeeper, and stealing therefrom a silk shawl and cotton gown ; and lastly, with committing similar depredations in the houses of Edward Dove, innkeeper, Dumfries, and James Smith, spirit- dealer in - Maxwclltown. This trial excited considerable interest. The whole of the crimes of which the parties stood accused had been committed on the night of the 19th, or morning of the 20th May last, and from the variety and success of their attempts infthis way, it appeared that they proceeded on something like ah organized plan. The table of tlio Court was literally covered with the fruits of tV. eifdexterity; Itobeit Harries, the! chief of this- gang, has something- approaching to gentility , irl his appearance, and might pass vert," well for a brokendown gentleman, ljls w ife, or at least tire ]> erson who I passes for such, is exceedingly good- looking, dresses smartly, and in overy'respect appears to be a fit representative of the heroine of the:" Beggar's Opera. When the lisial questions. Were put by the Bbtich to Ilarries and his wife, they-, both answered Not Cililt'y ; and notwithstanding the. judicioifs ammunitions Of their Counsel, persisted for a considerable time in this- plea. John M'Dougal, on the other hand, threw himself upon the mercy of the Court, and the- Advocate Depute immediately proceeded against Harries and bis female accomplice, whose business it was to linger about public- houses, and secrete the different articles stolen by the party. Tbe first witnesses called were Miss Culton and her maid servant, Agnes Scott, who related very distinctly the manner , in which their store- room had* been entered, and identified the silver spooss and two pieces of. cheese produced among the other trophies of the prisoners. These articles - had been found in the possession of the prisoness at the time they were apprehended, and as they could not prove that they were lawfully taint by, not a doubt could exist as to their being guilty of the second charge of the indict ment. • : The Court then proceeded with the third cliargeof the indictment, which was also clearly established by the evidence, of Robert Taylor. Esq, his servant, John Loltimer, and Messrs Oncy and Bain, shopmen to Mr James Kerr. Mr Taylor s evidence in particular was highly distinct and satisfactory, and drew forth a merited compliment from the Lord justice Clerk. Mr Taylor had been present at the apprehension of the prisoners, and there is something rather singular in the incident that enabled him to ferret out. their footsteps. Among tbe articles stolen from Som- Wrvifle house, there was an unopened parcel, which bad been sent to him by bis shoenlakcr. This parcel, boritaihing two pairs Of boots, had been left at a public house in this town, and having been accidentally shewn to tlic shoemaker, he at once identified the boots to be Mr Taylor's property,' both from the circumstance that they had been made by himself, and by a strange totality, still remained wrapped in a piece of paper addressed in his own band Writing. This important discovery having been, communicated to Mr Taylor, he immediately attended, and, with the assistance of an officer and another person, apprehended the whole party. At this part of the trial Mr Whigham again represented to the prisoner the extreme folly of persisting in his plea of Not Guilty ; and being backed in this rernoastrance by his wife, who now began to be much affected, Harries at last yielded to their joint intreaties and his own fears-, aiid consented to make art unqualified acknowledgment Of his guilt, provided the Depute Advocate agreed to restrict the libel to an arbitrary punishment. This Mr M'Conochie at first refused to do, observing that he made it a rule never to allow a prisoner to retract his plea after he bad once thrown himself upon a jury of his countrymen ; but Mr Whigham having consuited privately with the Bench, the matter was at last compromised to the universal satisfaction of the Court and audience. The prisoners, after, receiving a suitable admonition, were then sentenced— Robert Harries and John M'Dougal to banishment for life, and Elizabeth M'Lean or Harries to transportation for seven years. Upon hearing her Sentence, the ffcmale prisoner petitioned, with tears in her eyes, that she might be sent out in the . same same ship with her reputed husband, to which petition Mr M'Ci!( hochie humanely replied, that although that matter Was beyond his province, and lay entirely with the Secretary of State, he had no doubt her request would be attended to. This unexpected turn which had been given to the proceedings was exceedingly fortunate for the pri, soners, and must have been highly gratifying to the feelings of M r Taylor, Miss Culton, and the other persons whose • property had been invaded. • As the evidencewas completely made out, the punishment must have been capital'; and, after what occurred - at last Circuit, we do not think the jury would have felt themselves justified in recommending fhtf priSbners to mercy. William Wilson was then jxut tot- he bar, accused of stealing various articles from the house of- Robert Bennoch, Drumeruil, parish df'Durrisdcer ; as also from a bleaching green in the same parish. The prisoner, who is lame, and describes himself as a travelling mendicant, pleaded Guilty, and craved a mitigation of punishment. At one time he had served in the navy, and he Would have fain persuaded the court u. iit lie had been wounded while fighting the battles of his country ; but his story was too inconsistent and contradictory to Obtain the slightest degree of attention, and the Court more in consideration of his helplessness than his services, sentenced him to twelve months imprisonlrient In the'jafl of Dumfries. The next prisoner waS William Pollock, accused of various acts of theft, who having also pleaded Guilty, was sentenced to transportation for 7 years. The Depute Advocate then moved the diet against William Halliday, jun. and James Halliday , accused of having stolen, on the night of the 2d of March last, two Highland sheep, from the grounds of Thomas Hart, Esq. of Castlemilk. Both prisoners, who are brothers, appeared exceedingly penitent, and their Counsel stated, as a strong circumstance in their favour, that they had not only ingenuously confessed the truth o f t h e first crime ever laid to their charge, but had conducted themselves with the greatest propriety, from the period of their apprehension up to the moment they stood before their Lordships. The elder brother in particular^ previously to this unfortunate affair, bore an excellent character ; and a letter was read from the Reverend Mr Jameson, St Mungo, with whom he had once lived, stating, that, as far as his experience went, he had never kriowtV a servant more distinguished for sobriety and fidelity. Besides this respectable reference, letters in favour of the prisoners were read, from various gentlemen in the same district, and it was further stated, on the authority of Mr Docherty, the jailor, that some time ago a conspiracy o f a dangerous nature had been formed among the rest of the prisoners, which had been entirely defeated through tbe fidelity and good principles of the Hallidays. The Lord Justice Clerk expressed himself highly pleased botli with the demeanour of the prisoners, and the different circumstances that had been adduced in their favour, lie could not, however, in justice to the country, remit the punishment altogether, although he was willing to limit it to transportation for seven years. This trial concluded the business of Thursday; and after sentence of fugitation had been pronounced against James Irving, accused of assault, with an intent to commit rape, the Court separated at a few minutes before four o'clock. Friday, Sept. 24. The Court having . again met, James Matthews was put to the bar, accused of having Stolen, in July last, a number of shirts and various other articles, flom the side of a burn, iu the parish of Elves, the property of Alexander Hay Borthwick, tenant in Sorbie. The prisoner pleaded Guilty, and was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment in the jail of Dumfries. » This it will be admitted was a sufficiently mild punishment, and we are not sure that the prisoner would have been displeased, bad it been infinitely more rigorous. When asked by a legal gentleman what he meant to do when brought befo/ e Ihe Court, he answered with the greatest coolness, " plead guilty and be banished, to be sure." In that case, said the gentleman alluded to, yve must see to obtain some mitigation of punishment. " No, no," rejoined the wily culprit, d n your mitigation. If 1 am only banished for seven years, I will never be transported at all, but detained in the hulks, and treated like u brute beast; but if I am set down for tbe whole fourteen years, I will be sent out to Botany Bay without tail, where I have been before in the capacity of a soldier, and which I know to be a d d fine country." John Little was then brought to the bar, accused of various acts of theft committed in the town and parish of Annan, on the 20th of April last. Tbe prisoner acknowledged his guilt, and was ordered to be transported for seven years. Before he had been removed from the bar, however, George Graham Bell, Esq. who acted as his Counsel, represented to the Court, that his client was of a w eak and facile disposition, and was subject to fits of sudden derangement.' From the silly manner in which he had suffered himself to be apprehended, it seemed extremely probable that he had committed tbe crime libelled while he laboured under one of these. fits ; and he craved that their Lordships would b? pleased to allow a still farther mitigation of punishment, both in consideiatiori of the prisoner's unhappy turn of mind, and his long services as a soldier. But tbe Court repelled this plea, and dismissed Little, after a solemn admonition from the Lord Justice Clerk, delivered in his usual impressive manner. The Depute- Advocate then moved, that the diet should be deserted pro loco ct tempore against John Bailey,, Janet Johnston, and Ann Paterson, which was done: accordingly- Lord1 Gillies complimented tbe Sheriffs on the'apparent decrease of crime in the. county, and the excellent manner, in which they bad discharged their duty. The Court was then adjourned with the usual forms. Glasgow, Sept. 23. The Court was opened, this day, at 10 o'clock, by the Right Honourable Lords Pitioiliy and Meadowbank.— After prayets by the Rev. Dr Chalmers, the list of assize was called over, when only one was lined for not appearing: John Scott; lately residing in the Boar's Head Lane, accused of uttering a forged note, was outlawed. Agnes - M'Crae, accused of house- breaking and theft, was put to the bar, and the diet was deserted pro loco et tempore. ' Daniel Lamont, accused of vending base coin among the shopkeepers of Pollokshaws, on the & th day of July last, pleaded Guilty, and a Jury being inclosed, he was found Guilty on bis ow- n confession. Mr 1' yper, Counsel for the prisoner, produced a discharge from the army, and certificates of good character on his behalf, and prayed for a misigation of punishment. Lord Meadowbank, having commented on the enormity of the trhnc, as affecting the interests of the poor, ] proposed that he should be confined in bridewell, anil kept at hiird'labour nine months, and thereafter banished Scotland for ltfe. Joseph M'Farlane, accused of having stolen from the house of David Young, labourer, at Crown Point, near Cauilachie ( he being a lodger) on the 27th March last, a silver watch, atblue coat, two pair of pantaluons, & c. pleaded Guilty of stealing the clothes, but Not Guilty of stealing the watch- - Tbe Jury found him Guilty, on his own confession, and he Was sentenced to be confined nine months in bridewell, and kept at bard labour. The leniency of this sentence w as partly dwing to his Counsel- having' stated that he had been confined six months, and trad borne a good character previous to this. Archibald Knox, Cloth- Iapper, Gallowgate, accused of stearin" a silver watch, on the 5th July, frorii the bouse of Alexander Arneil, paper- maker. at Dalshohn, pleaded Not Guilty. 1 After examining five witnesses for tbe prosecution, and three for the pannel, who spu'- fe to liisr former character as being excellent, tbe Jury retired to make up' their ver. diet, and; after remaining about 40 minutes, returned a wricteii verdict of Guilty, by a plurality of voices. From the witnesses who had given him such a good character, he was only sentenced'to 12 months confinement at hard labour in Bridewell. Farther proceedings in our next. LONDON PRICES CURS.

The second annual fair at Thirlcstane, in Etterick, for draft ewes, faf'stock, & c. was held'on Friday the 24t. h inst. Above 6000 sheep of ditterent descriptions were shewn, and very few went away unsold. Draft ewes fetched from 23s. to 26s.; wetbera from 32s. to 34s.; lambs from Os. to 12s.; fat sheep from 28s. to 3- 1 s . ; and fat cattle from 9s. to 10s. per stone. ' The fair was welt attended by graziers and dejlers from the north of England, as well as all the feeding districts in the south of Scotland. It was a good market, proved of consequence to the surrounding district, and cannot fail to become still more so.—' The second market for spring ewes wi: l be held on tbe Wednesd . y before tbe first Monday in April. Wilton great Sheep Fair was held on Monday se'tnnight. Tt ere were about 65,000 penned, and, owing to tbe great and general abundance of sheep food at the p.' eser. t season, the prices demanded for all sorts were very high. There was a great briskness of Sale of ewes and lambs at the early part of day, - but slackness prevailed soon afterwards, and continued so until tile, conclusion of tbe fair, and many were dri ven away' unsold, particularly of the Merino sort. Prime Southdown ewes abut 46s. a- head, and inferior at about 32s.; wethers about 48s.; good lambs ac 34s. a- head, and inferior at about 22s. ' There were a great mapy fatted born cattle and young lean stock, but there was little demand for them. There was also a large number of horses, mostly of the cart kind, and they sold at declining prices. Mr S.
