' EDINBURGH, Dwain* 17. ..... em...- Sunday morning.last, about two o'clock, the manse of Muiravonside was broke into by a gang of fellows, who, after procuring lights in the kitchen, proceeded up stairs to the bed-room, where the Rev. Mr. Wall, Mt nistei of the parish, was sleeping. He had heard the noise of the fellows getting to at the window, and think ing it might be the servant out of bed at that hour, he was opening the door to call to her, when one of the gang presented himself, with a pistol in one hand, and a candle in the other. After threatening Mr. M'Call with death, should he make any resistance, he was con ducted down stairs in nothing but his shirt—here other two of the gang attended, one armed with a pistol, and the other with a sword. The Rev. Gentleman was com pelled to open his drawers and presses ; they found in one drawer five pounds in silver, which had been col lected at the church door; in another they found nine silver tea-spoons, which they carried away with them, together with a gold watch. Daring these operations, Mr. M'Call found his way out by the doer, and ran to the house of Mr. Henry Raid, of Nicolton, who, with two of his servants, were only a few minutes in reach ing the manse; it appears, however, that a fourth of the gang remained outside of the house, and had given the signal to his accomplices—for two bundles, con taining shirts, stockings, &c. were left behind, together with a hat. The alarm being given in Falkirk, although there is no regular police there, by the activity of a number of the special constables, four fellows were-ap prehended in an obscure lodging-house. They were kept in the lock-up house till next day, when a precog nition was taken by the SheviffPepute and Fiscal of Stirling, Mi. mica was present at the examination, bat it does not appear he was able to identify the per mos. It is singular that the pocket of. Mr. MsCall's small clothes, which upon the first alarm he threw under the.bed, contained 401. which escaped the search of the robbers. The fellows are still in custody, and we un derstand several persons have been apprehended at . Linlithgnvi on suspicion. Severol severe accidents occurred on the evening of Friday s-'ignight, to individuals leaving Perth fair, in consequence of the uncomm-n darkness of the night.-- A cart, in which several persons were sitting, %volt over a.precipitous bank at the finther end of the. bridge at Milltown of Aberdalgie. Mr. Donaldson, a school ma,ter, belonging to the village of Dunning, yeas killed on the spot, and o:bers received serious injury. Shortly after, ano t her cart was 'overturned at the same place, and hose tiding cal it were dangerously bruised. Brussels Papers announce that mercantile couriers were sontEnually passing through that city, which shews that some degree of agitation - prevails on the Continent. • Boas/ass WAR.—A letter Las been recently received from an Officer of high rank at Calcutta, which states that the army, under the command of Sir Ancwinsisto Cnwraat.t., at Prome, was in high health and spirits. a'd that the neighbouring Burmese were acting in the most friendly mannertowards our troops. It is in the contemplation of Government to render the convicts sent to Botany Bey as serviceable as they are on board the hulks at.

In 1821 (after some preliminary measures) an Act was passed t.. panic the 13.0 k •.1 England to pay its notes in gold (edict. ! `and 2 Gen. IV. c. 6.), and in 18'22, another Act was passed, authorising the issue of One or Two Pound Notes till the sth of Jannary,lBsS. The village and neighbourhood of Stoke Green were thrown into great agitation on Friday morning, by, the , discovery of a most atrociotts murder having been com mitted on n poor *old woman of the name of Smith, nearly 70 years of ege, who. kept a small chandler's shop in the immediate vicinity of the Plough, at Stoke. Green. The situation of the premises, and the habits a the deceased, render the circumstances somewhat yn.y terious ; as it appeared from the evidence that thi molder must have been committed about nine o'claok in the evening, and the house' and shop of deceased, though 'sanding alone, hare the publiphouse, and se venth other homes, within a very skit distaece, so , that any noise or struggle must inevitably have been heard. The spectacle was truly horrible: the blood lay its masses immediately rotted the head, and cos . ., masted most awfolly with the silvery grey hair they, under Abe night cap °fake deceased.

ROYAL ACADESIY. Saturday last, the Professor of Anatomy afthis In. , 4itution delivered his sixth and last Lecture for the' Jostruction of the students. He regretted that the' limited period assigned to his Lectures obliged him to treat his subject in a more superficial way than hell wished; but he would propose, as a compensation, the admission of the students to his School of Anatomy, where every opportunity should be afforded them for the prosecution of their study. Mr. Green then pro-, seeded to discuss the muscles of the fore-arm and hand. He dwelt particularly on the structure of the thumb, and retnarkfd how wonderfully that member of the hand was adapted by its strength and facility of move. anent for the execution of the most laborious, is well as the most delicate kinds of workmanship. Before he catered on the muscles of the lower extremity, the Pro fessor took a cursory glance at' those that run along the span up to the occiput, which he remarked are strongly expressed in the neck of the Farnese Hercules, and give it its remarkable breadth and fulness. These muscles, he further observed, serve to make the necks of the bull, the stallion, and the wolf, so full and large. In the lower extremity, the most remarkable muscle was the gluteus; indeed, he considered this muscle one of the most prominent features of the human form. Why, he asked, should it be so large in man ? It fur nished one of the strongest evidences in support of the opinion, that man. was designed for erect posture, since its only use was not to carry back the leg, but it also was a primary agent in preserving the bushy in its uptight position. In all the monkey tribes this muscle was comparatively very diminutive, and those animals , could not stand erect for any length of time 'The tireet posture was with them a forced one. Mr. Green next went over the muscles of the face, de scribing their different action, and pointing out the influence the passions of the mind exercise over their forms, and the consequent result in expression. He observed, that with a egard to expression, the artist should depend on actual observation, and industriously collect materials for his study from nature herself. He dwelt on the power of the will over the features, and pointed out the general character of intelligence pecu liar to the human countenance. It was no objection to this observation, he said, that there appeared in the Australasian savage such a brutish and vacant expres sion. He was not the representative of the genus, but of a particular family of the human race. in the midst of all his brutality. the essence of humanity was seen gleaming through a troubled medium. The Professor adverted to the varieties of expression in the human countenance. There was one general form; and the differences in the portraits of tie greaten and the wisest, exhibited merely so many different declen sions in the character of man. In alluding to propriety of expression, he referred to the story of the young Greek actor, who having to perform the character ot Agamemnon, came before the audienCe in a bold and confident style, with a lively step and elevated head. The audience were enchanted, and loudly atiplay i sied him. A Sailer; hiss alone was heard, and this, to the surprise and indignation of a 11 ,,, proceeded from the teacher of the new► actor: The a 'd?eiesi %tilted eih immediately performing the part lanisslt.. This, the old actor complied with; and came on She star with a dow step, .his arms folded, his eyes eitis abwn,.and his head reclining on his breast: He soon made the Spec tators recognise the true personification of the leader of theXtmetian fortes, on whom the hopes of his country rested, and might them to distinguish it from the rant and fury of an Ajax proceeding to battle. Mr. Green's Lecture, a few points of wh'cit we have given above, was at its conclusion loudly applaodcd.

Yokerdar the, ....antssinners of Bankrupts in this estate held another meeting, at the Cour:, in Basing hall-street, to receive proofs of debts, and to transact such other business as might be deemed necessary. Chambers and his Ste were in attendance. Nr. Mairstaw, an attorney to the Provsional A-sig. nees, upon a claim of 1831. Bs. being tendered as due to the Directors of the S:. Lieorge's Scholl of Instruc don, being the residue of the sum originally deposited in the banking-house by the Managers of the Charity, asked the Commissioners if any one cr tsio persons could draw that which seal entered in the name of a particular body, and not in their own ? The SECitlreMtif to the Institution begged to submit, that the money was virtually invested in leis name and that of the Directori, one of wh m attended to make the affidavit, by consent of the whol •. None of the money, he also said, could be drawn out without the cheques being countersigned by him as Secretary. The Commissioners held there could be no bjection to the reception of the offered affidavits, as they were made with the concurrence of all. The necessary proofs were then received. Mr. T. Puccncx, on the part of the Committee or Provisional Assignees, opposed the claim of the Rev. Mr. Hicks, for 12831. 103. dne to him as one of the exe cutors of the Rev. George Elwei,- on the ground that the demand could not be personally made upon Mr. Ch imbeis, but must be made conjointly upon the bankrupts. The facts were simply these:--About the year 1821, the- elder Mr. Chambers and Mr. Hicks were appointed executors to the estate of Mr. Elwes, Olson whose account a very large sum of money was. deposited in the bankrupts house. but Mr. Chambers changed it from the name of Mr. Elwes, and placed it to the credit of the firm, and of course debited him self as debtor to the deceased's estate so much. Mr. Hicks, his co -executor, he desired to draw upon Cham bers and Son, for any money required to pay off the legacies willed by the testator, which was done fre quently and entered in the regular way. If, therefore, Mr. Chambers had, in the exercise of his duty, as executor, placed the money in a house which failed, he not being aware of the insolvency of the establish ment, could not be expected to become personally _liable, but was bound to proceed, in conjunction with the other executor, for the recovery of the dividend ; awl, supposing Mr. Chambers bad placed the money. in any other house which had failed, it could not be expected that he was to become responsible for the loss. He had not been guilty of any dereliction of duty, and had the full concurrence of Mr. Hicks, as that Gentleman bad riot objected to the money bring so deposited. The Learned Counsel urged th s point at very considerable length, ob se rving. that the money being placed to the Messrs. Chamber' account, was merely a continuation of that of the deceased person. Mr. Hicks always drew upon Messrs. Chambers and Son, awl not upon Mr. Chambers personally. Mr..Dastetan, for Mr. Hicks, contended, that the-time of the transfer of the property from the one count to the other, Mr. Chambers must have been it'any.and must bare known that when the last atim, making up the present demand, was paid into his bank, it was in a tottering condition. Tbe Learned Gentleman entered at large into the proceed ings in Chancery upon some part i f Mr. Elwes's estate, and said, Mr. Chambets, about two months before be stopped payment, paid into the hands of the Ac , countant-General 20,0001. belonging to the testator by an Order of Court, and then, he considered, must have ,Iraown he could not stand. Ile denied Mr. Chambers's tight to make any aransfer.. unless Le iendered.himself personally liable for the whole. Mr. Paccece asked Mr. Chambers if be knew two month" before his failure that.he was in'a state of Insolvency ? Mr. chambers.—. Most certainly not. After some further discussion of a 'am interesting nature, the Commissioners adjourned the question for tits then consideration, observing, that if the demand was made personally upon Mr. Chambers, the claimant could have no vote for the choice of assignees to the bankrupts estate. Mr. Pou.ocx opposed the claim of hfr.James Denew, of Charles -street, Bea ke:ey-square, amounting to .3681. but upon examination, it proving to be a fair and just demand, it was received, and Mr. Denew was sword. , Mr. Denew, in making affidavits of several debts he had purchased, said, at the time of -purchasing those 'debts he told the parties they %vete acting very fo. , lishly to sell them, as he was suit the house would pay 20s. tn-the pound, and he was of opinion they could - do so still. tie was sol!cited to purchase the debts, be never Applied to do so, and he paid I Os. in the pound.: The COMM having received a great number of anopioned roots, 20,;octned.
