At this Meeting, Sir William Max well, Bart., Vice Lieutenant, and M.P. for Wigtown shire, presided; and after approving generally of the opinions expressed, and Resolutions framed by the Edinburgh Committee, the Gentlemen present, with great judgment, as we humbly opine, protested against the rash opinion, "that the prolongation of the period fixed for the final resumption of cash payments would he of advantage to the country." At tie conclusion of the business, the thanks of the meeting were unani moesly voted to John Catboat, Esq. of Gsnoch, for the trouble he had taken in framing the following Resolu tions—Resolutiens, be it observed, that are to be em bodied in Petitions that will, by and by, be presented to both bosses of Parliament : " I.

Fortunately the family were not retired lio rest, and assistance being obtained, by great exertions the lure of the devonring element was soon checked, bet not till five horses out of the seven which •were in' the stable were considerably burnt and otherwise injured, two of which although medical aid was immediately procured are since dead, and there is not a chance of the other three living. One of the two horses which were considered but little hurt is in a dangerous state from the effects of the smoke. It is Dot clearly ascertained how the occident occurred, but from the appearance next morning it is supposed to originate from the post lad leaving a wick of a candle burning is a wire lantern, which com municated to a whole one that laid across, and is sup. posed to have fallen and set fire to the straw.—(.trorwich Paper.) We are sorry to learn that the small pox is very pre. relent in different quarters of this city. We have heard that out of one family three children have died within these few days. and that a fourth is not expected to live. It is a matter of deep regret to find that there are still so many individuals,who,either from culpable 'neg. ligence, or superstitions prejudice, fail to avail them• selves of the discovery of vaccination. We would fain trust that this awful visitation will operate as a warning to others who have children liable to be attacked by this. loathsome disease. In this city vaccination'can be pro , cured at all times, and is administered at the Dispense. ries gratuitously to the poor, so that those who fail to i avail themselves of it ate altogether without mese.— (Man.

Bagmen, JAN. 13.—A considerable quantity of snow has fallen in the course of the week, in ibis neighbour hood, particularly on Wednesday evening, when the wind blew bard. The great pest road on both sides of this town was rendered impassable. On Thursday morning, the Edinburgh mail did not arrive here until nine o'clock, fully four hours later than usual. Th- in• terruption was occasioned by the (hitting of the snow near Cockburnspath. The same day, the London mail was upwards of five hours later than usual ; the road near Detchant, between this and Belford, being blocked op by the snow. Yesterday morning, the Edinhargh mail met with little interruption; but the one from the south did not arrive until 7 o'clock in the evening.
