HIGHLAND CLUB. The anniversary meeting of the Highland Club of Scotland was celebrated at Edinburgh. on Monday. The competition for the prizes for the different sports took place on L ids Links in the forenoon, in the presence of between from fifteen t-s twenty thousand spPctators. Such an in:ow , se multitude, hoatever. instead of adding to the rifes;t, at a great degree marred the whole. No game i r sport could :se a tempt , . d but an instant rush took place, which no arrangement could prev?nt or counteract. Among the visitors was the Lord Provost, and a number of distingoi.hed characters. They, how ever. lett the ground eirly. nn doubt from the general confusion which prevailed. The following were the rrizes competed for:—To the winning side of a party I f Highlanders. to play the prim of club and ball, or shinty, ten :over •igns. To compete for this poise forty men appeared, and were divided into sides of tuen.y players each, the one patty being headed by a Mr. M‘Pherson, and the other by a Mr. M'kenzie.—After p'arng one eni, which was gained by M'Pherson, 111‘Kenzie de:lined the contest, from the pressure of the crowd. The second prize, to the best putter of the stone (a bullet of 221b5.) a silver medal, was gained by Mr. R. NlrKinnon of C irrychattacan. To the best at thro , lug the sle.ige h im rner, a silver medal, was gained by Alexander M•ll nt.ild from Galva, Badenoch. To the best runner a font race of hail* A mile, a silver me 1.1, fisin , d by William Russ, from Baodale, Ross-' shire. T liz.te were other three prizes to be competed for, but so much time had been wasted in fruitless attempts to keep the ground clear, that it was found impossible to decide them.—ln the evening from eighty to a hundred members of the Club dined in the Hope toun Rooms, British Hotel—Lieutenant-General Sir 'John Hope in the chair, and P. Robertson, Esq. advo cate, croupier. The Lord Provost, and a number of other Gentlemen, were present as guests.

Hilary Term commences this day. The word Term is said to be derived from Terminus, the God of Bound aries, Space, and Landmarks, in the Heathen Mytho. logy. Of the four Law Terms, there is one day in each in which no business is transacted—Candlentas, in Hilary Term ; Ascension Day, in Easter Ter or ; Mid summer Day, in Trinity Term; and all Sagas' D Is, in Michaelmas Tern.. These four days are called Grand I)ra in the 1-r!s of Court, Giudy Days at the es; o Uni v,rsiiies, arid Collar Days at Sc. James's. The Terms k pt by the Students at the Universities differ from those observed in the Courts of Law in their com mencement and termination. Oxford has four Terms in the course of the year, and Cambridge three; both the Universities have also two particular days—that at Oxford called the Act, that of Cambridge the Corn- rnencement, which generally takes place on the same day of the month in July. They are fixed this year for the 4th of that month. It is common in Persia to inflict the punishment of the bastinado upon persons of the highest rank.

Colonel Michael Henry Francis Goold, a person of very respectabte appearance, was indicted for assault. in Thomas Payne, a servant to Messrs. France and Minting, the upholsterers. Mr. BIVIDRICK sated the case. Messrs. France and Banting, the upholsteters, having a house in Charles street, St..l imes's•square, to let for a Gentleman of the name of Walsh, were wai ed upon by the defendant. who gave his card, and wished to occupy the house. Before he was allowed to obtain possession, Messrs. France and Ranting expressed a wish to have some reference for the defendant's capability to pay the rent, and he accordingly gave them a reference to a Mr. Mitchell, of Bloomsbury quate. A person had been sent to Mr. Mitchell, but he said that the defendant was not in the good circumstances he had e .ented, hut that be had been a bankrupt, or had passed through the insolvent Court. Tie clerk ran back a, quick as he could, but the defendant was before him, and had got into the house, where he persisted to remain. He was to occupy the house for three months, upon condi tion that he paid fifty-two gutnt.a, for that tet m. There 1 1 was also a proviso that he might occupy the house for sift or nine months. The tent was to be paid week iv, and when about 201. or 301. was due, a distress was put into the house fur the rent. The prosecutor was placed in possession, and when he had been theme three days, the defendant called him up stairs, and asked him what business he had in the h use? g. Why, Sir, " said the man, io you know why I ni placed here." The prose. cutor then went down stairs, where he was shortly afterwards seen by the defendant, who again asked what he wanted on his premises? The prosecutor told him he was placed in possession for the rent that was due, but the defendant said he should not stop there, and called the patrol to take him into custody. The pAtrof said, 44 Why, Sir, I caranor, under these citcum stances, take the man into custody." The defendant, however, pushed the prosecutor into the street, and then the patrol was fool enough to take him to the watch-house, where he was immediately li serated. " Now," said Mr. Brodrick, 41 this is the assault; but if the defendant will pay the rent, and give up the house, this prosecution shall drop." He wished to know if Mr. Goold would give up the house ? Mr. Atter, the Counsel for the defendant, said, the rent would be paid when due. Mr. BRODRICK said. then if he would not give up the house, the case must go to the Jury, and be would know that his conduct was illegal. Mr. ALLEY said, that all the rent due was paid, and so long as Mr. Goold paid the rent, he did not see why he should he pre vented from occupying the house. The case then proceeded, and witnesses were called who proved all the facts. _ The defendant then consented to give up the house at Lady-day, and pay the rent, provided the prctecution was dropped. This was agreed to, and the ca)e ter minated by a Juror being withdrawn. J. Daly, who was footman to Colonel Goold, was next placed at the bar, for having committed a very serious assault on Re d, an Officer r f Marlborough. stteet porce offic:.

There were three sirers, the relatives of Captain Swaine, who it was alleged had been illegally confined in a lunatic asylum, they being of sane mind at the time, arid that this was done by the defendant, who held consider able property in his hands belonging to these young ladies. A host of witnesses were examioed on b sides. There was something eccentric in th. it appearance; they were always clean, dec-nt, and respectable; but in consequence of their having but 6s. 3d. per week each, to 'Novick themselves with food, clothing, !noise rent, &c. they could not appear in that sphere of ltf. to which in their younger days they had bee:t accustomed. On account of this they were judged insane! Dr. Fowler considered that , singularity was no proof of insanity, and that from all! that he had seen of the young Ladies, his conviction was that they were of Sane mind. At., the Liverpool Insolvent Debtors' Court, a fort. night ago, Mr. REYNOLDS. the Chief Commissioner, in addressing a prisoner, mentioned the difference between a debtor's discharge under the Insolvent Act, and under a commission of bankrupt. Tile great difference, said he, between bAnkruptcy and insolvorcy is this:—lf a bankrupt receive his certificate, he is lor ever discharged from all his debts; but an insolvent, when discharged, contracts, at the very instant of his dischar;e, a liability to pay the debt, by a solemn instrument, which he signs, and which the creditors have the power of enforcing for ever a ter. There have, within my knowledge, Leen many instances in which debts have been paid to the creditors of iasolvents, without their ever appearing in Court. The insolvent, although discharged by due pro cess of law, when no fraud has been proved against him, is still liable, until the latest period of his life, to pay his debts in full; and creditors have a right to en. farce the payment, if ever the insolvent should have it in his power, in future life, to liquidate their just claims, by bringing , him up again from time to time before the Court, which will judge whether he is, or is not, able to pay his debts out of his then property. Thursday seinnight, at Worcester House of Indusry, a person - offered cheese for s ile at 40s. per cwt. and one of the directors was so well pleased wilt it, that 6 cwt. was ordered for the use of the House; but, after the o:der was given, the price appeared so law for cheese of such good quality, that the director de,ired to have another taste; the dealer was about to give him a sam ple from the same side as before, but being desired to give a taste from the other si.'e, it proved that the cheese was of a very inlet ior quality, and that the kna vish dealer had inoculated it with a portion of fine old Cheshire cheese.

Saturday, Mrs. Hill, wife of Mr. Hill, oilman, Piccadilly, was brought up in custody of Clements the officer, on an assault war• rant obtained against her by her husband. This Lady, who was dressed in a superior style, and apptcred to be about forty, has been repeatedly held to bail on charges. Mr. 11111 placed on the table the fragments of a large crystal salt celler, the instrument will which the assault had beet committed, and proceeded to state that be was sitting quietly ii the parlour, when she rushed in without th , , least twice, and begat to abuse him in the most shocking manner; and not satisfied with that, she laid hold of a large salt teller, and with the utmost fury dashed it at his head. Luckily for him, he hail time to raise his right arm to protect his face, and warded off the blow. Mr. Mehl% confirmed this statement. Mr. Hill did not use any violence or threats before t►is assault. There were high words ou eac► side. Mrs. Hill, who had repeatedly attempted to interrupt bet husham:, on being informed by the Magistrate that he was now ready to hee what she bad to say, proceeded to state her defence :—She had beet separated from her husband at that Officc sonic time ago, and had been allowed only 751. a year. That was a small pittance for a woman who had formerly kept her carriage and servants, and h.. 1 plenty of everything at her command. Of that, however, she would say nothing. She went to see her two daughters who lived with their brother. to whom, and net to Mr. Hill, the house belong., acid she considered that she had a right to go there. She went to h:n. in the parlour. in order to see if some new arrangenitnt made with the Trustees about her plate. It was worth 3001. and as she wanted it much, she offered to give up something else in place of it. She bad come from Brighton for that purpose, as well as t.. see her children, and on main the proposal to him, he refused ho consent, and told her, that he bad bought het with a (con. chiding the sentence with two vulgar words) which irritated her so much that she took up the salt teller, and in her passion flung it at the wall, but had no intention of hitting him with it. Mr. Hires thought it more probable that she had thrown it with the intention of striking her husband than the wall, and it any other weapon had come in her way perhaps she might have used it against his life. I might, said she. If I had had a pistol in my bosom, I would have fired it at him. The worthless fellow, to treat me in the way be does. I hope my eon will yet fire a pistol at him before he dies. Mr. Draa having ascertained from Mr. Aveling that Mr. Ilia had not used the words imputed to bins, and that the house was their mutual property, said he had heard quite enough to justify him in calling 011 Mrs. Hill to find bail. I'll find no bail, said she. I'll go to prison, but I'll not find bail. The officer then took her into custody ; but she resisted his au thority for some time with the utmost obstinacy, until after many entreaties and threats she was at last put into a place of security.
