Westmorland; they were the advocates, and their opponents were the antagonists of the liberal and sound policy which ought to pre. vail both in Church and State — in matters foreign and domestic. Their opponents belonged to that part of the Administration whose narrow-minded and confined views led to erron which were now nearly exploded they (the Blues) to that other portion which by its steady and constant support of sound principle, which it they had not been recognised leis country must have been per petually misgoverned, had a strong claim upon the gratitude of the country. He rejoiced that then principles had at length found as with the enlightened and popular portion of the Govern. tnent,and that they weresupported by great majorities of boo It !louses of Parliament. ( Cheers .) We sincerely hoped, that in this our limited sphere they would be encouraged and comforted by so grow and signal a triumph. If the advocates of these doctrines of liberality, who had resisted bigotry and oppression in all their noxious forms, year atter year , had been disheartened by tern pantry defeat, they would never have lived to see the day when the Acta of 11113, which those powers bad resisted, and which they by their resistance had reduced almost to a dead letter, they would never have seen the day when those Acts would have expired. They would still have them tearing up the Con stitution by the roots, for instead of expiring as they had done, they would have been, as originally intended, but for the resistance he spoke of, rendered into a perpetual night. mare upon the liberties of England. (Tremendous cheering.) It they had been cast down by repeated defeats, or disheartened by disasters, the advocates of liberal policy abroad, as well as at home, would have laid themselves down in the first ditch, instead of main brining to the last the NUM of their country : the worst forms of Gireernment would have prevailed, commercial restrictions and taxes would oppress the country at home, and the name of England would have been disgraced abroad, by a continuance of that vile po. hey by which it was yoked to the Holy Alliance. The emancipa tion of the people of England from arbitrary power, and insup portable taxation, was owing to the steadiness of those who had fought the battles of the Constitution at home, and of liberty, and of the character of the country, in every part of the world. ( loud cheering.) Let then such an example of success following defeat give them fresh courage. Let not present defeat dispirit or relax their exertions in a good cause : hut let them persevere, and re. new the battle in At es:morland. (Cheers, and reiterated cries of " We will.") Let not the example merely cheer, but bind, con. wand, and compel them to continue the contest, until their exertions shetild be crowned with success. Their friends all over the country had been successfully fighting the same battle in which they had ?fist Veen engaged. Ile would dirt et them to turn their eyes to the capital, where two etc idy and tried friends to the country, after a Severe contest, hail been returned—he meant Aldermen Wood and Waiihninn. If they kinked to NVoreester„ they would see that Colonel Davis had triumphed. 31r. Thompson had tri. tinseled at Dover, and Mr. feinnard had secceetled at 31:titbit': and In-t, though net Last, a great victory had been gained by his excellent ttiends Fir Robert ‘rilson and 3lr. C.lvert,i in the Itorotigh of Southwark. (Cheers.) Ile hoped these sue ces:as would cheer them under their defeat; and when. in tinir temporary defeat, they found such companions as Lord .1 em Russell and the M aqui% of Tavistoek—such coin. onions us Mr. Ellice and Mr. Evans, than whom there was rn abler or truer friends to civil and religious libcry in England. he Impel they would nut be cast down by temporary defeat, but remember that sue!, men as those he had mentioned wire com panions in their di...million. Our motto, said the Honourable Gentleman, is—again oral again. (Tremendous cheering.) This is our motto—this cur rallying cry, our watchword, as it has been the rdbying city And the watchword of freemen in all ages when sotiering umber oppression —as it is at present the rallying cry of the noble-minded Greeks, and the persecuted rlperiards, and :l it proved to be the vre:ch .sort. rot of fighting only, but of victory to Washington ant to Itohvar in the New World.

Howard politely gave way. Mr. ADAM Tlms t rt addressed the Meeting, and said that he did not stand there to advocate the cause of the house of Loather, but he felt himself compelled to come forward, or labour under all the odium which was sougla to be cast Tint, him. . . Here the uproar was tremeitilons, Anil , Mr. Brougham besought the people to listen to the lYotthy Clergymen, as it was much easier to do so, though perhaps not quite so agree.side as disputing. Mr. A DaltTelwA I T c then said, that if he was disposed to shrink from his late friend Mr. Brougham in paint of talent, he was not disposed to do so in p.'int of isitegri.y. Ile fuel knked upon Mr. Brougham as the private adviser of the Queen long before she cane the last time to England. He thought that he was the oracle to whom she Inked for advice as to her conduct ; and therefore it was that he sapported bins. He then contended that Mr. Brougham was nn better prophet than himself, fur he had prophesied the destination of this country years ago, and yet she bed one thousand ships upon the seas. It is sufficient here to say, that the Reverend Gentleman re. plated his speech of Saturday last, with respect to oar naval and military force, reducing the numbers engaged in each ser vice, however, from four millions to four hundred thousand. He was then allotting to the banditti. which he said the Sheriff kert at the lodge. when a movement took place in the crowd, for which I could not in any way account, but which was evidently of a hank , nature. The Blues end Yellows separated, and hosti. lilies commenced ; the Yellows first retreated to get bludgeons, and upon their return the Blues, who were least numerous, and in a great measure unarmed, fled in all directions. By the AA. atiOnS of several gentlemen belonging to each party order was at length restored, and Mr. Adamthwaite pursued his speech for about a minute, when a similar movement to the former took place; by this time some blows were struck, and one or two in dividstats were severely hurt. The Yellows being in possession of their bludgeons, the Blues fled, and emight shelter within Idle (4.117 gates; and, to the credit of the Blue Committee, they did not furnish them wit:: the bludgeons. which I every moment expected to have seen distributed amengmt them. The Blue Com. mittee.room was immediately behind the hustings; and as many of the Blues sought protection there, stance were flung at the win. does between the floor and the roof of the hustings. The hustings, from the very commencement of the election, had been respected until stew, but it wax soon found to be untenable by those who had to ao.hition to earn the weed of fame in a combat between the Lin—. anti Yellows of Applzhy, and all accordinglj retreated. The rot In able to procure arms, and being exhorted by M r . I!:o34linnt to keep the peace, did not return to the combat, and was teonnlingly restored. The speaking, however, was not renewrel, it being. of course, considered imprudent to bring large bodies of men in cobtact while their blood was so fevered with pas. eior.. The etheriff, therefore, ennui after appeared, and read the in. denture, by which Lord Lowther and his brother were returned as Men.bers for the county, and then declared that the Court was ad. jaunted. About five o'clock, when men's minds had in some measure resumed their e;ilmness, two handsome chairs, covered with yellow silk, and adorned with sprigs of laurel, were brought nut, and Lord Lowther irld the C•donel were chaired through the town. All the Hags which had been paraded during the contest were row borre in triumph before the successful candidates, while their respective bands played "Hearts of Oak," " S e e th e Con. queting Hero comes,' and other appropriate tunes. After hay pasual in procession found the crosses at the top and bottom of tie male street, they were ch a i re d over the bridge as far as the 'County Gaol, and thence back again to the King's Head. Nothing was to be seen but Yellow, the Blues seemed to have co wshed to a man. It was extremely gratifying to perceive that, atter so severe a contest, the chairing was suffered to proceed with out the slightest mi.leatation ; and during the evening, though all was jay and exhiliration, not the slightest disturbance presented itself. 'flans hat terminated this the third contest for the county of Westmorland ; and it is now tolerably apparent, although Ale.

On Friday, Mr. Beaumont accused Mr. Lambton of prompting Lord Mookt in his address to the freeholders on the subject of o .4tholic Emancipation. Mr. Issinbton denied the accusation. On std.% Mr. Beaumont came forward, and *aid, "Mr. Lambton says it is not the say it is false." Mr. Lambton then pre. sensed himself, amidst the cheers of one puny and the clamours of another. Alter some time spent in procuring silence, Mr. Lambton addressed the Meeting. He stated that they had all witnessed the violent and intentional attach made upon one who was well content to be a silent spectator of what was i using. The noise continuing, Mr. Lambton asked if it was their int e ntion that Ise should be heard or not, because he was perfectly ready to give Mr. Beaumont a very different answer—an answer which he moat assuredly should have. He hoped that the freeholders of North. umberland were lot to be assured at this day, that his Noble Relative (Lord Howick) bad talents which did not require prompt ing front any man. It was true he (Mr. Lambton) had made rune observations on what was passing to his friends, and he had yet to learn that it was not an Englishman's prerogative to do so. if it was Mr. Beaumont'', intention to resolve this into a private quarrel. he should not, as far as he (Mr. Lambton) wa s concerned, be baulk e d i n his inclination. bind Howick had been sacrificed to a base and odious coalition ; but he would retire from the con test with an honour which would always belong to the name of the in its native county. Mr. lAmbton then assured the free- Alders, in the name of Lortl Howick and in his own, that he (Lord Howick) would stand whilst one man remained to vote for and alluded to the means taken to induce the county to be r; that his Lordship would not stand. Even letters had barn daily sent off', stating that he had actually resigned. How could he (Lord Howick) insure his success in a future election, better than by giving every freeholder an opportunity of voting in this? He (Mn lambton) had always considered his Noble Relation fully equal to answer any attacks that might be made upon him—a consideration which had hitherto withheld him (Mr. Lamloon) from indulging in the nearest and dearest feelings of his heart— those of addressing his fellow.countrymen on n question of great public interest. (Cheat applause hollowed.) The Candidates then left the hustings, and • meeting was appointed to take pb.ce on Saturday between Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Lambton. holm/A tkin, however, having been given to Sir D. Smith, is magistnte, he assembled a number of police, and dispersed them in diffe rent directions to prevent the duel i and on Saturday, at five o'clock, both gentlemen were arrested on the ground, and bound over to keep the peace. STATE. OP THE POLL. --- - 1438 Beaumont . 1201 801 l - - 13131 Howick . 932 . _ ALWWICL, JULY 1. . . This town has been thrown into the utmost anxiety and alarm, in consequence of what transpired on the hustings last night. In the course of the proceedings yesterday afternoon, Mr. Beaumont ob served that Mr. Lamhton was promp'ing my Lord Howick. Mr. Lambton said, "It is not the &et." Mr. Beaumont retorted, " That is false !" and immediately left the hustings. Mr. Lamb ton remained behind, and observed, that he should reply privately, in a suitable manner, to Mr. Beanmont, and then continued to speak on the subject of a coalition between Mr. Liddell and Mr. Beaumont. A challenge was immediately after sent by Mr. Lamb. ton to Mr. Beaumont. and accepted. The Magistrates and police were on the alert. tiir David W. Smith, Bart. called at the lodg. legs of Captain Plunkett. Mr. Beaumont's friend. Alr. Beaumont was concealed in a bedchamber, and escaped observation. A meeting had been appointed to take place at nine o'clock at night, on the Alnwick Moor, three or four mites front here. Constables having been stationed in front of Captain Plunkett's lodgings, that gentleman and Mr. Beaumont effected their escape at the back part of the house, by chinbing, in their way, over a high wall. An express had been despatched to Fallowden for (lrmeral Grey, on the pan of Mr. Lambton. Mr. b. and a friend left the town privately, but ns General Grey and others got into a carriage and four, in the street, the attention of the people was excited, and it was found impossible for the parties to meet without interruption. A second attempt was made this morning, about three o'clock, on the Moor, but this also was frustrated. Sir 1). W. Smith was on the ground at the time appointed, in his capacity of 3lagistrate, and Mr. Lambton and Mr. Beaumont, who both appeared, with some di ffi culty escaped. Captain Plunkett, Mr. B. 's second, who whited the meeting to take place in Scotlar.d, has been taken into custody. It is not yet certainly known where the gentlemen are gone, but it is supposed somewhere in the neighbourhood of Belford. Ale. Beaumont is not exhorted to take his place on the hustings this afternoon as a Candidate, as usual. Sonic friend will return thanks for him. P. S. Fier oT roc it, P.

On Monday sennight, Mr. Hume met the Trades in their Hall, for the purpose of giving an account to them of the conduct pursued by him in Parliament, that they might be enabled to judge bow far his labours coincided with their expectations. H e then met with the Guildry in their Hall; there, also, to render a like account ; the substance of which we shall attempt to give, After the subject of the meeting was announced by the Dean of Guild, Mr. Hume stood up; and began by alluding to leis elec. 1 tion when tint he presented himself to them. Then, Mr. Bar. clay, who was Provost, iii a speech which Mr. Hume eompli. mented, demanded of lihn, whether he was detemined to pursue a purely independent, and, to the country, strictly useful course, as they had come to the resolution, and which was recorded in their minute book, that none but such a Member should have their countenance and support. That pledge he then gave t but the time between his first election and the first dissauttou of par. Lament was so short, that their confidence in him could not be supposed to be properly established—but as he had been again returned, and had "erred for seven sessions, the period of last Parliament, they had had sufficient opportunity of watching his conduct, and consequently of determining how far he had dia.. charged his duty. I t had b ee n hi s constan t en d eavour to expose the prodigal expenditure of the Government at home ; and al. though many, many motions, made by him had been lost. neglect ed, and despised, yet he now bad the pleasure of seeing Ministers come round, acd adopt those very measures formerly proposed by him, which before, by their overwhelming majorities, had been lost. But although be had often seen himself beat at all hands, yet he never shrunk from his determination, but still held on . in the course which he saw was to benefit the country. The same course lie had also pursued with respect to our Colonies abroad ; and the same result was the consequence. An improvement had also taken place in almost every thing that concerned them. He could nut understand shy the country had adopted the plan of ranking every one. who took any part in politics, under the title of either Whig or Tory—hn. his part he belonged to neither sect —he was either NVhig or Tory ' just as the interests of Mecum. try required. Ile certainly had for the most part opposed Mi nisters, but he had also voted with them in every measure that had the appearance of being serviceable to the people. He was desirous of seeing a Reform in Parliament. At one period he was friendly to Annual Parliaments, but experience had taught hint to change his mind. So various and complicated were the forms of doing business in the House, that it would require one Session at least to be made acquainted with these forms. Seven years were so huge a portion of a mares life-time, that when once a gentleman obtained a seat, the idea of meeting his constituents at a remote period rendered him often indifferent; the best me. shod, he thought, would be to return to the good old system of triennial Parliaments, as being the most convenient, the best adapted to our constitution, and, in every respect, the surest barrier against the inroads of corruption. He would like to see the elective franchise extended—he would like to see every house. holder possessed of a vote, and for that reason it was that he voted against the forty shilling freeholders in Ireland being de prived of their right of voting—he was for enlarging the privi lege% of the people, not for circumscribing them. In prosecut ing these measures, when lie first commenced his Parliamentary career. possessed of no family pretensions, and consequently no friends, lie was obliged to stand alone, without support from any; but, nevertheless, ho persevered, and row he had the sa tisfaction of bring listened to, and his proposed measures met with proper attention. It was rather strange that those, who, for the most part, had been his early associates, were those who had principally obstructed his course; he now stood before them, and now was the time for them to come tearlessly and boldly for ward and state ttie abjection' they entertained against him ; and while he requested them to do so, lie was conscious within him self that there was not a single act of his public life which would not bear the strictest scrutiny. As there were some before him who were connected with the shipping interest, he would mention that he made a motion, which was carried through, to reduce the consular duties on ships going to certain foreign ports. In sonic instances so heavy were these, that they often exceeded the amount of the freight; but they bad now been done away with, and in that respect a heathen of - no common magnitude had been , removed. With respect to his conduct towards Carlile, he had been much misrepresented. Even in this town he had endured much obloquy and reproach on that account ; it was not with the view of supporting any religious opinions held by that man, or that he acquiesced with these, that he had given hint any countenance; but it was because he entertained the opinion that every man ought to be left to worship God in the way which was most agreeable to his own mind. It was for that reason that he had turned his attention so much to the corrupted condition of the Church of Ireland. In that country he would like to see the burthens taken off those who were not benefited by the religious services of the Church ; and also the huge salaries of the higher clergy reduced, and a portion of it given to those who sustained all the labour. For entertaining such opinions as these, he had been held up as an infidel—as an enemy to all religion : that charge he de:tied. He had much more to say to them, but time would not allow him. Now that he had the certain prospect of being again returned by his constituents, he pledged himself to follow the sante line of conduct which he had hitherto pursued, and advised them, if he ever broke faith with them, to drive him, the next time he appeared to solicit their support, from his seat, by the same manly and spirited independence with which they had all along countenanced him. During his speech the Honourable Gentleman was frequently and enthusiastically applauded. We were rather disappointed that he did not state his views respecting the Corn Bill, Catholic Question, and Banking System. With respect to Slave Emancipation, we have been informed that lie stated to the Trades that he wits a friend to abolition, but that the slaves must first be prepared for it by dissipating their ignorance. and instructing them how to enjoy the litissings of civilized society. The Election takes place on Monday first, at Arbroath, and Provost Jamesou lies been appointed delegate from this town. A HIIIIOATII.—Mr. Hume arrived here yesterday, and was received by the Magistrates, Guildry, and Incorporated Trades. The standard was displayed cn the Town-house, and in all the dif ferent parts of the town ; the Trades' and Friendly Societies* flags were exhibited on the occasion. A robbery by artifice, but not exactly new, took place on Sunday, at the house of a gentleman of the name of Lawler, Nottingham-terrace, Marylebone. A well-dressed man, on horse. back, inquired for Mrs. Lawler and her niece, who were from, home. The impostor tamed that he had left 3lrs. L. at Brighton, and that he had obtained 701. for a cheque which he was to leave at the house inclosed for Mrs. Lawler to set.d to him. lie called for pen, ink, and paper, pulling a note, or something like one, nut of his pocket, and the servant showed him into a parlour, and after remaining there about ten minutes, he rang the bell and left the house. tin the return of Mrs. Lawler, she felt some alarm, and on opening a secretary, she discovered that the lock had been picked, and twelve severeigns, a gold catch, and some plate, had been stolen.

ABENDEZN.—The weather, we regret to state, continues dry and sultry to • degree very unusual in this part of the country, and most unpropitious to the progress of the growing The face of the country is parched ; and corns, which till no w preserved a tolerably healthy appearance, are becoming brown, and shooting into the ear, although but a few inches above pound. The heat for the last few days has been most oppressive, the thermometer in the shade ranging from 7i to 112. Many wenn, ponds, and some of the smaller streams of water, are entirely dried up ; and cattle are suffering no less from the drought than from the scarcity of pas. tures. In the oilier parts of the county, the effects of the heat have been of a most extraonlinaty and alarming description. On Saturday the furze on the hill of Izoclinagar was observed to be on lire; and the most plausible conjecture as to its origin ascribes it to the influence of the sun acting upon and reflected from some of the cairngorums and other gems which are to be found in that pic turesque spot—the thermometer upon the' side of the hid hav ing risen to above 90; but the fire, we have since learned, Is snot confined to Loclinagar. Several other hills in the neighbourhood have also caught fire; among which Rena board. lienaven, and the bill of filentsner are mentioned, and have been burning for some days. livery exertion is making to prevent the lire reaching the woods, and we trust will prove successful. Our information on the subject is hitherto very imperfect ; we have just received the following from Kincardine ('Niel, dated on Monday:—" The heat is excessive; to such a degree. thst at Major Ilay's a towel, in six folds, was burnt through. and some wooil eamtht lire where it lay : had it not been observed in time, it is believed the house would have been in flames. The hills up the country. six miles from hence, have caught fire, and many are the probable conjectures as to the cause. Be this what it may, the tire has spread fifteen or twenty miles, carrying all along with it ; upwards of NO sheep are burned ; the woods of lilentaner are thteatened : all the men in the country are raised to cast ditches, and put It out but we have not heard of their suc cess. In addition to the above, we hear that the forest of Mar has caught fire. Ni'e trust this is incorrect.-44erdeen Journnl. On Saturday last a muir on the farm of Chapel, near Kirkaldy, the property of J. A. Thomson, Es q. of Charlton, accidentally caught tire, and at one time threatened destruction to the adjoining plantations on the estates o 1 Ranh and Duntilkier. From the pre sent extreme drought, the burning extended with great rapidity, and rendered the efforts to stop its ravages no easy matter. We understand, however, that by great exertions, it is expecte:l to ar rest the farther rogresa of the devouring .dement, and save from destruction a considerable extent of valuable growing timber. On Sunday last, the people about Perth and its neighbourhood were considerably alarmed, by the Loma of large and dense co lumns of smoke from the country. at some distance to the west ward. The view front Perth in that direction being very limited, the precise spot whence it arose could rot be seen 1 various con jectures were formed, and several alarming reports circulated. Many set out to ascertain its source. It arose from the burning of a large peat moss, called the lied Moss, the Frorm of the Earl of Kinnoull and others. Itlr. Smythe o etliven suc ceeded in preserving his part of the property, by cutting a deep and wide ditch along his boundary. The fire is said to have arisen from the tobacco pipes of some old women, engaged in stacking the peats, on Saturday. It is a fact perhaps unprecedented, that at present Loch Tay discharges no water by the bed of the river Tay. It is not remem bered by the oldest inhabitant in that quarter, that they have at any prior period seen a less body of water titan three feet deep issuing from the loch by the Tay, in any season—thus the evapora then from the loch has exceeded in this any known season by about 180,124,i1ti0 cubic feet. CUPAH ArNGC/9. — Last week, part of the heaths on the ex tensive moss of Cochrnge was set on tire. The flames caught hold of large quantities of dry pears which were lyi:rg on the moss ready to be carried sway, and then fastened on the undug moss. In a few minntes, the whole breadth of the moss was in a blaze. It still continues to burn to the depth of lire or six feet; and will pro-1 bably continue to do 53 till the rain and snow of winter quench it, if they be able. The loss to the individuals who depend on the moss for their winter fuel will be severely felt ; the proprietors will also lose the game on the extensive hill where the mess is situate, and the cattle pasturing on the hill will be in danger. The loss at present is supposed to he above 800/. Why are mosses rot in sured ? This is not the first Instance of ant ess having been set on fire and burning fir years. BRECHIN.—A lire has broken out in the hills in the parish of Strachan, which has assumed rather an alarming aspect. It is sup. posed to have originated about twelve days ago, on the east side of Mount Battock, one of the Grampians, the property of Mr. Mauls, from a burning left in the bank by mane people who had been casting pests, for the purpose of lighting their pines on the follow ing day—a frequent though a foolish and dangerous practice. The surface of the ground is principally composed of moss, covered with heath; and this being completely parched by the recent drought, the tire spread rapidly and widely to the adjoining estates belong. ing to the Earl of Aboyne and Sir James Carnegie. On Sunday last, it had extended to a depth of from five to seven feet over a sur face nearly seven miles in length, and live in breadth, compre hending Mount Battock, Comiehill, the head of the Water of Ann, Petershill, and the valley, down to the Stone of Clochnabean, which was that day enveloped in flame. The excessive heat front such a mass of burning matter, by preventing all approach, has rendered it impossible to adopt any efficient measures fur extin guishing the fire, which must, of course, be increasing every hour. The inhabitants of the paria'nex of Strachan, Bine, and Aboyns, and the overseers of the respective proprietors, have been making every effort in their power, without effect. Serious apprehensions are entertained for the extensive forest of Glentaner, towards which the flames are approaching; particularly should the wind veer to the southatouth-sast. A similar catastrophe seemed to threaten the woods of Slateford, also the property of Mr. Mauls. A fire made ira apixarince in these words in the afternoon of Sunday last, and had made considerable progress before it was dis covered. _ _ . _ _ _ _ PERTH, Juxx I'l—During the latter end of last, and corn. mencetnent of the present week, the heat has been excessive; the thermometer in the shade exhibiting a temperature, varying front 80 dee. to 118 deg., according to the situation and exposure. During the whole of Tuesday, thunder was heard at a distance in every di rection, and at Dunkcld, in the afternoon, there was a very severe storm, accompanied with . heavy showers. Yesterday, the thunder clouds approached nearer Perth, and we had a few minutes heavy rain, with hail, and the thermometer has since fallen a few degrees. The Almond is nearly dried up, and in the upper districts, the mills can with difficulty obtain two hours sufficient supply of water in thetwenty-four, In Logicahnond, the cattle are sent great dis tances to the watering ; a ;,•entleman in that part of the country has offered a bet of 50!. to I!. that there will be much rain on or before the 6th July, which has been accepted. In consequence of the continued dryness of the season, and the almost unpsralle.etl ebbneas of the Clyde, the salmon have suffered severely by the great quantity of stuffs that are discharged from the differne; pnblic works, common sewers, &e. in the nelghbourhood of this e4f. On Sunday, about one o'clock, an old woman went into the Clyde to babe a child, opposite the Liorbals church, end observed a large salmon come towarts the shore, which she caught, and carried along with the naked child, in her arms, up Mellen street, to the great amusement of the lieges who were coming out of the church at the time. Wednesday the heat of the water, combined with the delete rious substances mixed with it, had a deadly influence on the tinny tribe. Hundreds of salmon trout, brazes, perches, eels, &c. were floating on the surface of the water in an inert state, and the river was thronged with urchins between the Brounticlaw and the new bridge, who easily made prey of the filth. I On Friday morning last some of the workmen engaged at Mr. Penton's, on the Shawpark estate, near Allon, discovered a great quantity of smoke arising from a young plantation in the imme diate neighbourhood, and on investigating the source from which it proceeded, found the luggage and young trees were on fire. We understand that the strenunue exertions of upwards of a dozen of men were required the whole day to confine the ravages of the de. straying element, which was not fairly got under till nearly two acres of the plantation were destroyed. Nothing has been de veloped to account for its origin. ‘Ve have received the following information front Falkirk : " The heat has been excessive for some time. The thermometer has frequently been at 84 deg. in the shade, and at P 2.5 deg. in the open air. The consequences are :terming. The mosses and muirs to the S.W. have been on fire for a week past, and are still burning, anti no human power seems able to arrest its progress. It has been computed that upwards of 2,000 acres have been burnt, including some corn fields and plantations, at the same time destroying all kinds of game upon the moors. Our only hope is, that an ample supply of rain may conic and stop the ravages.' Tit UNDER STORM, TUESDAY.—In the course of the thunder storm with which this part of the country was yesterday visited, the lightning broke on a wooded height to the north of Craigend Castle, Stratliblane. It seems to have been attracted by a larch tree, somewhat taller than the rest, down which it passed, tearing off the bark in a spiral direction, for more than fifteen feet, but without breaking u branch, though there were many of these in its comic. The grass around the roots of the taco being rendered combustible by the extreme dryness of the season, was set on fire ; but being speedily discovered, the fine was prevented from spreading farther. This spot is within 40 yards of one of the towers fronting the north-west, which, under Providence, in all probability, owes its safety to the high ground in its vicinity. 'Fhough the storm continued front half-past three to five p. m., anti though much lightning during that time was visible,the moment when the tree wits struck could not be mistaken. It was an explo sion more terrible than the ; the flash and crack were seen and heard at the same instant t and so stunned WAS the family, that for a while they believed the building to have sustained souse ter rible disaster. The above is all the damage, so far as we know, which has happened to this neighbourhood from this storm.— Sti limrshi re June 28. On Thursday afternoon we bad another heavy shower of rain for about an hour. hut the hot weather still continues with little abate ment. —Cohvioalou Ilfercary. GLAgoow, .1c NZ 29.—We believe we may now coneratulate the country upon a change of weather. On Tuesday, after an ex ceediug hot day, we had a good deal of thunder and lightning in the neighbourhood of this city, with a amen shower of rain. Yes terday forenoon, though cloudy, was exceedingly sultry, and during the early part of the day we had much thunder with gentle rains. The wind - , the little that we had of it, seems fairly to have shifted to the southward and westward, and from this change we anticipate showery weather. The barometer since Saturday has been gradu ally descending, and stood last evening at 22 in. The thermo meter on Tuesday, in the neighbourhood of this city, rose to 92 in the shade. There was very little rain at ICylsyth. Cumbernauld, or Airdrie. In the parishes of Eaglesham and Stewarton, it rained for a con. siderable time. Yesterday morning the burns in these quarters were considerably swollen, and the water was standing in the holes on the roads. 'I rile was ♦ery heavy down the Clyde between Renfrew ant Erskine ferry. The pasture ground on the banks of the Endtick water is so much burned up at present with the late violent drought, that some of the sheep farmers or graziets have been obliged to lift their stock front the parks of his (irace the Duke of Illontrose, to other lands more moist, at some distance. The drotight is an severe in the island of Bute, that the cattle are dying tor want of water. It is so very mane in some places, that the cows have to be driven for miles foe every temporary supply. THE MARVELLOUS. We have found the following stated as a fact in the Journal du Commerce de Lyons :—Dr. James Hotham, of Morpeth, Northumberland, returning from Switzerland, is stated to have reported that a most extraordinary event had lately passed at the foot of Mount St. Gothard, a league from Aizoli, in the valley of Levantina. At the bottom of a kind of cavern, the body of a man, about thirty years of age, was perceived under a heap of ice, proceeding from an ava lanche. As the body seemed to he as fresh as if it had been stifled only half an hour before, Dr. Hotham caused it to be taken out, and having had the clothes pulled off; ordered it to be plunged into cold water. It was then taken out, covered with a crust of ice, and placed first in lukewarm water, and then in some water still warmer—afterwards it was put in a warm bed, and treated as usual in cases of suffixation, by which means animation was restored. What was the astonishment of every body, when this individual, having was recovered the use of his faculties, declared that he Roger Dodsworth, son of the antiquary of the same name, born in 1629, who, returning from Italy in 1660, a year after the death of his father, was buried under an avalanche. Dr. Ilotham, according to the same account, is stated to have added, that Mr. Dodmwotth feels a great stiffness in all his joints, but that by degrees they will become as flexi ble as before the accident. If Mr. 15tillsworth, fully reco vered. should pass through Lyons to return to his country. after 166 years absence, it may be predicted that he will attract in the highest degree the public curiosity. CORONER'S INQUEST. A Jury attlembled yesterday evening, at the Lion and Lamb public-house, in Drummond-street, Somers-town, to investigate the cause of the death of Elizabeth Hadley, who expired on Sunday morning, in Church-way, St. Pancras. Considerable interest was excited previous to this inquiry, by reports tending to criminate in a great degree the daughter cf the deceased ; but nothing was eli cited from any of the witnesses in confirmation of such report, which appeared to have originated in the malicious gossip of some evil•dispesed neighbour. Mr. Cepeland, surgeon, of No. 7, Tonbridge-place, New-road, knew the deceased for the last three or four years, and attended her occasionally in his professional capacity; but had not seen her for several days previous to Friday evening last. when he was called upon to attend her about three hours after she had taken poison ; but bring from home at the time, a friend of his, Mr. Wel land, of Judd-street, attended on his behalf: Deponent saw her afterwards himself, about nine o'clock, when she appeared rather senseless; was told she had taken nitric acid, anti she complained of great pain in the stomach, which the least pressure increased considerably. Inflammation was at the time visible externally in the region of the abdomen, which was much swollen. She survived about 19 hours front the time of taking the poison. Her husband is in the brass trade, and uses aqua-fortis in his business. Opened deceased yesterday, and found the whole of the stomach completely destroyed. Deceased always appeared to hin t quite h a ppy an d cheerful, and very attentive to her husband. Assigned no reason for the rash act, and appeared quite collected. Maryl Ann Hadley, daughter of the deceased, said her mother had had very bad health for some time before her death, and seemed to be much deranged in her mind. Her mother and she had some words in the morning, and she went out to avoid further altercation. She returned to dinner, and when the family were quietly sitting at the table her mother started up suddenly and struck her. The only provocation she gave was her having refused in the morning to go to her place of service until Tuesday, her mother requiring her to go on Monday. After she received the blow site went out im mediately. and did not return until 6 o'clock, when she was sent for. Told her father on Thursday that site believed her mother was deranged. Her mother was in the habit of drinking, and when in liquor was luite a maniac. Her father is in the habit of using large quantities of aqua-fortis in his business, to which, though always lecked up, het mother had occasional access, as she sometimes assisted him. Sarah Powel saw deceased the evening she had taken the poison, and she appeand in a very distracted state of mind. The Coroner, Mr. ST fnutsfo,recapitulated the evidence, when the Jury proceeded to view the body, which presented a most appalling spectacle, being literally one mass of mortification, after which they shortly delivered a verdict of " Temporary Derangement."

After riding in splendid cavalcade from an early hour in the morning, the procession arrived about four o'clock, at the White-Conduit noun, Pentonville, where the members of the Society, about 200 in number, set down to dinner at five o'clock, Mr. J. Davies in the chair. After the usual routine of loyal toasts, and after drink ing the health of Messrs. Newton and Rice, the trustees of the Society, the Chairman proceeded to give a brief but very satisfactory account of the prosperity of this benevo lent Institution : during the late panic, he observed, no Member bad been dismissed from the Society, except for misconduct. Subscribers were daily increasing, and with such rapidity that he looked forward to a very considerable dividend next year. This statement was received with loud acclamations, and, a few more bumpers to the health of the principal subscribes, the assembly dispersed at an early hour. LAW NOTICES.

On his Lordship's coming intoCoart this morning, he said there were two causes in which he would,,tive judgment to-morrow : the names of them were Lancaster sad Atk neon, and Goodson and ElliFnn. In both thos e cau s es ha h a d h o p e d that a compromise would have taken place, but as the partiis were not so disposed, he would deliver his judgments to-filo:tow. In the case of Lan , raster 0. Atkinson, it was a suit between two sisters, one of whom filed it hill against the other, charging that, at a particular period, the defendant found the means of taking a large sum of money eta of the escrutoire of their common father, and had appropriated tl.e same to her own use and benefit. Upon the death of the father the plaintiff and the defendant proceeded under his will to divide the property of the deceased between them, with the exception of eight hundred and seventeen guineas, two halt guineas and a seven shilling piece, which the defendant was c'isrged IT the bill v ith having abstracted from the place of its deposit. The diitendlut, in her answer, seemed to suggest or intimate that the charge might he retorted on the plaintiff, and she added to that, t h tile plaintiff had possessed herself of sums of money during her life-time In the same way :arid the defendant further said that the dealings which she (lie defend ant) had with the Bank, arose out of her proper savings. Ili. fle nour (the Vice-Chancellor), on hearing the cause, directed an issue to try whether the money in question had bean in possession of the father in his life-time. His 14011D9111P said that he considered that decree to be right at far as it went. Upon the other hand, unless something !toed in the way of further proceedings, in point of form the defendant had, as a matter of justice, an equal right of inquiry against her sister; and therefore he should direct an additional issue to meet that right. A more unpleasant case could not hnve been filed on the records of the Court; but as there did nut appear any hopes of a compromise, he would deal with it according to the justice of it. Ile would pel the terms of the issues to be tried. and would hand them down to morrow morning. —As he had intimaud, he would give judgment in " Goodson and Ellison," and in `• Exparte Harrison in the mat ter of Sykes," to-morrow. The Court was occupied the remainder of the day in h earing appeals of no public interest. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COFRT, Jrcv 3. DOLLAND IN THE MATTER OF MARSH: STIACEY, AND CRAHA M. ...... • In support of the petition in this case, Mr. MoarrAol.7 applied on the part of Mr. Rolland, the riesignee of the joint estate of the bankrupts, for the direction of the Court, respecting a claim of 91,0 W. moueht to be proved by the assignecof the joint estate, against the separate estate of Henry Fauntleroy. the Learned Gentleman confessed tint he had been originally of opinion that this was a claim of which the Commissioners could take cognizance without the interposition of that Court ; but when the matter had been, on a former occasion, brought helot* his Honour, the Court decided that the Commissioner* had not ore. ginal jurisdiction to that extent. The assignees being the same for both estates, a trustee had been appoint e d f or th e separate estate, and in hat condition the parties now mine before the Court. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to state, upon the 'affidavit of IVilkinson (the accountant under the Commis. 'ion), that several sums of money. amounting in the whole to 91,09Nte, had been fraudulently abstracted from the partnership funds by Henry Fauntlerov. and applied to the augmentation of his own separate estate. The items of this nature were in num ber between thirty and forty, but it would suffice for the satisfac tion of his Honour's mind, to refer to one only. The instance to which he should confine himself related to an entry in the books of the firm, in the hand.writing of Fauntleroy, debiting the house with a sum of 5,600 e as purchased in the 4 per cents. on the 13th June, 1822. for Major Sire, whereas ZOO/. only were so laid out ; the joint estate had, in consequence, been rendered liable to Mawr Sire for the balance (1,e00f.), who had subsequently proved under the joint commission issued against them for that amount. lie (Mr. Montagu) apprehended that there was no rule more clear (for in it his Honour the Vice-Chancellor and the Lent Chancellor both concurred), than that where one partner ot firm fraudulently abstracts from the partnership funi, fur the be nefit of his own personal estate, that private estate is accountable to the joint estate, under a commission of bankrupt, bir the amount so abstracted. But, as in the present case, the omission of the proof must depend upon the facts of fraudulent abstraction by Henry leauetleroy, the course to be pursued was, by directing an inquiry for the Commissioners as to that fact ; and upon their re port to the Court, his Honour would direct whether or not the debt now claimeel ought to be allowed to be proved against the se parate estate. He understood that his Learned Friend, Mr. Rose, had been instructed to argue against the admission of that claim, but he tele. Montagu) was utterly at a loss to conceive what an. swer to it could be set up. Mr. RosE, on the part of the creditors of the joint estate, resisted the inquiry demanded, contending that. upon the principle of con venience, a principle on which that Court always acted in cases tf bankruptcy, his Honour would not order an inquiry into accounts so complicated as those of the parties in the present case ; a pro. ceedirg which would be so extensive as to swallow up the whole assets of the separate mate, unless, indeed, in the first instance. the principles upon which the application fur such order was founded should have been clearly made out. In the case before the Court, those principles had been by no means clearly established. The application was founded upon the affidavit of the accountant, which sated that, owing to a certain disposal of the funds of the firm by Henry Fauntleroy, the joint estate hail become subsequently chatged with certain debts. Here was no proof, however, that Fauntleroy had fraudulently, and without the privity of his part. tiers, taken the moneys in question ; and unless the fraud were clearly established, and that it was for his own private use that unfortunate man had committee it, there was, lie would contend, no case made out by the petitioner. On the contrary, there was every reason for believing, that the lion had all the benefit of Fauntleroy's frauds ; those had been frauds committed upon indi viduals, customers of the firm, which would enable the creditors of lie joint estate to prove against the innocent creditors of the sepee rate estate. He held in his hand the affidavit of Mr. Forbes, the solicitor of Fauntleroy, which chewed that the ebstractions of that unhappy person formed, in fact, a part of the system of finance by which the firm had been supported ; and, indeed, it was very clear that these bankers had for many years been insolvent--that they were aware of their own insolvency, anti that nothing could Sire them from bankruptcy but an interposition of Providence, in the shape of a shower of gold, or some such ntrangement as that by which their partner, by his crimes (for such they mien now be de signated), ted the partnership fund from day to day. He defiee his Learned Friend to prove that the money now claimed had been abstracted for the separate use of Fauntleroy. That unfortunate individual had been entrusted with the entire management Or an it:. solvent concern ; and ihere was nu possible mode of keeping up its credit, unless by the commission of crimes similar to that for which he suffered, or (as he had already said) the special miraculous in terposition of Providence. The Court would therefore see, that where debts are thrown upon a whole concern, it was not compe tent for the joint estate to leave the creditors to prove against tue separate estate, and plunge it hemp' inquiry that would absorb the whole of its funds. Mr. Feenea billowed on the same side, contending that Fume, leroy had fm.a series of years supported the credit el the linn by fraudulent means. Mr. 3loseec n-1 call tiro, Mr. Ferrer to chew his autho rity fur stating that tire funds of the house were provided by Faun:- teeny. Mr. Fenn E n then read the affidavit of Mr. Forbes, from which it appeared that several sums of money, which had t een fraudu lently obtained by Fauntleroy, had been applied to the uses of the firm. Mr. Aimee . ..icy objected that theft WAR CO official copy et this affidavit. which must. consequently. go for mstbing. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said it was not iniportatie fur at It could only form ground fur inquiry. Mr. Mosrreou was anxious to eat'S expense, and as it was probable that the Commissioners might at the present time be oat of town, he was willing to refer the point to the Master. The Vie E-ClIAXer I. Lott. —I f there were any foundation f r the auspie on that the other partners participated in the fratitis out. . mitred by Fauntleroy, this would be revery important inquiry.
