THE HIGH CHURCH. The votes in the Synod on this interesting cue vie have heard stood thus :—For inducting Princii)al Macfarlan into the charge. 3-i Ministers and one Elder; against it, 25 Ministers and - 15 Elders. The Elders from the Presbytery of Paisley mustered very strong. From the Dumbarton Presbytery,•we believe, no Elders attended. They could not appear, owing to some rt. gulations which require that they should have been approved of by the preceding Synod. „ • Unto the very Reverend the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, the Petition of the Elders of the Parish of St. Mungo, Glasgow, • Dumbly showeth—That your Petitioners have now, for a long period of time, endeavoured to manage the secular con cerna of that Parish with all the attention and fidelity in their power, still they are sensible that great inconvenience has been experienced . by the Parishioners from want of their own minis ter, accustomed as they were, for many years, to the un wearied diligence,. and faithful labours of the. late Principal Taylor, who, frOm the delight which he took in discharging his Parochial duties, knew the residence, character, connections, anti circumstances of almost every individual residing within his bounds. In many Instances, though willing' to . dO their very best, the Elders feel themselves at a loss from want of the advice and direction of their own minister, who, being at the head of the Session, not only regulated the measures which' came before them, but was at all times ready with his counsel to assist each member in the right management of his own Proportion. Your Petitioners being all engaged in business, can ill afford the time requisite for the right discharge of the whole duty which should be divided between their Minister and them. Besides, the very Reverend the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr will readily perceive , that. the knowledge of each Elder is limited to his own par ticular district, and that many inconveniences, and even unpleasant circumstances may occur, from their being de prived of the important assistance and Precedence of their Minister, in whom the whole concerns of the , Parish centre. Your Petitioners'exceedingly regret dielong delay occasioned by the opposition made to the induction of the Reverend. Dr. ‘MsFarlan, presented by his Majesty to the Church end Parish of St. • Mungo. From whit your Petitionerc have heard and know of the character of that Reverend Gentleman, they are of opinion, that there is no than in our Church, an 'establishment front which innumerable and invaluable. bless ings have arisen tothe community, better qualified for fulfilling the Ministerial duties of that Parish than, the liar, Dr. Ill‘Fer lam ; a man of the first respectability, a Scholar of great distinc tion, and a Divineof the highestattaininents: Residea; thedeep interest which he has uniformly ,taken in his Parishioners, has made him decline. no trotible•on their account rie'n'iir their st eel/I; Concerns : and be has thereby acquired a knowledge of business, which' few Clergymen Possess, to say nothing of his activity and fidelity. Ilis sympathy and consolation are never Wanting to' the afflicted, nor his counsel to the perplexed ; and his extensive information, spotless integrity, and sound judg. 'runt, qualify him in an eminent degree for the important duty of aconsoientioua and useful catraseßot. Your Petitioners have farther to add, that this Biblical literature, his scriptural know ledge, his sound opinions, his ready utterance and command ing delivery point him out as the one most fitted for .the able, faithful and successful discharge of the clerical labours in the Pariah of. Glasgow. Your IPetitioners, therefore, most earnestly beg' the very Reverend the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, to put an end, •to • the numerous evils already sus.: tamed by the 'Parish from the long vacancy, by reversing the sentence of the Reverend the Presbytery of Glasgow, by granting them the Illiniatzr whom of all others they era moat anxious' to have, and by appointing the said Presbytery to take immediate steps for the induction of ,the Rev. Dr. Macfarlan to`the church and parish df Saint Mango, which will . confer a lasting . obligation on year Petitioners, and.nn the patch at large. ~And your Petitioners shall ever pray, &c.

To THE Enyroa or TIIR GLAIQOW COURIER. SlR—The , proceedinijs of the Synod in the (sole ,of the Rev. Principal .111 , Farlan, l ave excited 'great interest.' The de. cision is considered by a party as a triumph of the purity etches Scottish Church. Thies any person pretend to say, that the respectable minority in the synod are enemics,to our Church's purity ? It was remarked by a R ev. Gentleman in e'nonrse of the Debate, that., thersi existed its hunian, nature a tendency" to find fault with the law as it is. Is it not possi. his , that *hose who tip posed the induction of .the Rev: Principal AlTarlan, may have been acting under the influence of this tendency.? ' Thb triumph of the purity of the Semeh Church may ,be a triumph over her existing laws. It does not seem dosibtfut but that several of the lasa of our Church are not to the taste of some individual. ' Thia, howeyer, cannot Lie. elped. Sanctioned as these laws are, Is it safe to assume a latitude of interpretation, . ,in order to get rid "of. what is considered' faulty ? Dr. hlTarlan'a cue ii not set *Crest. It goes to the So , preme Court. AVitat the sentence of that Court will be Ido not venture to las, but ft may be less agreeable to some indi. viduals than the.aentenee of the Synod. •r' ': ' 18th October; 18.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LOVE, DESPERATION, ANI? REVENGE. Giitinn Al. the midst of the liminess' at this Jnitice Room, yesterday, considerable interest was excited by a re port generally buzzed about the room that a lady had that morning shot,a gentleman in the Temple; and shortly after wards's yellow Chariot, with the initials M. M. upon it, drove up, to the Office, , in which was an defend* dressed Young "fe male, attended by her maid servant, in custody of blasters a city officer. °Witen.placed front of the Magistrate's table, she stated her name to be Agnes Watson. Her countenence was not .very handsoine, but her drese and general appearance might almost be called splendid, Her fingers were almost 'revered with rings, several of them diamond ones ; she had an elegant, gold watch at here side, and the portrait of a gentleman, set sound with large pearls. was suspended by an' elegant gold chain round her neck. The female servant, who stood by her Aide, seemCd .deeply affected, and was sobbing continually,.;, hut the prisoner was evidently labouring to keep herself coma posed, so much so, that she-correcteda mistake the clerk had made in her Christian name, having caught it as Ann. On Mr. Alderman C.Smyr it, the Sitting Magistrate s asking who charged the Lady, a Gentleman, at whose instance she had been brought there, said he had no wish to charge her.' The Magistrate, however, felt it hie duty to, know why, she had been given into custody, - on which the Gentleman, who now stated himself to be Mr. William Gausson, Paper-buildingic Innei-temple, replied, he charged her with an assault. He had, he said, never seen her before till that morning, when she came to his chembent.tunithreetened to shoot him with a pistol. She upbraided him with having caused her partnour. a. gentle man of his acqueintanee, to break off his connection with her, and leave her. alibi he explained, by saying she had been living with the ilentl enutn.,lie told het he had given him the 4 tdviee that he now gave her, 'Which was, either to marry or separate ; on which site pulled a pistol out of her muff to she& hint. He seized her riht fiend, and the pistol in it went off. She had another pistolin her left hand ; he immediately seized that hand, and that pistol also went off. There was no appa rent mark matte en the wajnacntotor did he think the pist ols were loaded with balls, though one was subsequently found on the floor, which she pointed out. Hp hail ;mid to her, ha wee sure it was only a joke, and that the pistols were not loaded; to which she replied, why the ball fell at my. feet, and then pointed Out where it lay. The ball was now produced, and was evidently flattened on one side by strikin the ceiling. Mestere also produced a pair of very small pistols, and en elegant morocco case-which had contained them, the . powder-flask, &c. The pistols, he said, he took from her reticule, and the case out of her muff. Poring this statement , though the prisoner Maintained her composure tolerably well, she was 'evidently much agitated ; the tears rolled plentifully down her cheek, and she raised the portrait two or three. times, and looked et(iCwitit.much appa rent-affection, at the Same time moving her-head in a manner as if to reproach it with unkindness. When asked by the Magistrate' what 'she lipid to saY in her defence, she replied, " I have no. defence to make . It is all true what he has said. The ball was in it, btii I had no inten tion to shoot him, or I should not have held up the pistol to. wards the. ceiling as I did. It may be true. what lie has said now, but I had been told very different. lam indeed in duty bound , to be his wife. • I have his promise." Mr. Gauestre here stated he had no wish to proceed further against her.and the Alderman pointed out to her,the great int. propriety of her conduct, which he hoped sha was now Sint sible of. • The prisoner replied—" Ham indeed aware of it, now Lain called back to my senses; but my friend is flown, and I thought this Gendentan had advised him to desert me; but if what tie now save is true, I am very sorry for what i l a l u ia 4w ve then gave her promise , not Lego to c any tram, and,wasi discharged: On leaving the table she ap plied to. h a ve the Cue And pistols returned to her.

Her mother was expert at the trade, and tin doubt the daughter had served an apprenticeship to the' same business, which was pmfitable, as appeared from the leN tors containing money, which was Always *pent with a degreo of liberality proportioned to the ease with which it WO acqutred: The apartment of Miss Kerr was no doubt miserable enough, RS in all cases of the kind the parties Who looked for a liveli hood in that, way endeavoured to snake themselves; amid their habitations appear as destitute and forlorn as possible, in order to excite the commiseration of the benevolent. As to the letter from the Duke,of Portland to Miss Kerr, it appeared that site circulated copies of that letter amongst the nobility and other* of rank and fortune; but she had the ingenuity to add' a few lines of her own composition, stating, amongst the ;words used ,by his Grace,, that he WA; " sorry to !Ina that ' what she had stated wee true." This addition; and the fact that his'Grace, enclosed M.to his petitioner, were calculated to assist her much 'in her %Peculation. The Magistrate said it was evident Miss Kerr had received money 'tinder false pretences from the Duke of Portland, and ,from what the Secretary had mated, no doubt Was a Swindler. The Duke, however, was the person to proaecute. The Secretary said he was convinced that the Duke would pot come forward to arbsecute. The Magistrate then asked "Mrs. Cafe, who charged the prisoners with having stolen the articles out of the lodgings, ,whether s ite intended to.prese the charge against she prioners? ! 'She replied that she wished to get back her getcalsor the value {of them, and lied, no desire to prosecute if she obtained them. The Magistrate advised her, to follow up the business: sbe consented; and the charge was entered against the prisoners.— The evidence which was detailed on the first examination was then read over, and: Louisa Bellenden Kerr was convicted under time Pawnbrokers' Act, of having illegally pawned the articles, a pillow and two pillow-cases. Elizabeth Dunn was discharged,. her_ mistress having acknowledged. that ,site. had herself pawned the articles, and declared that Dunn was not at all concerned. The convicted prisoner wise then told that idle had MI shillings penalty pay, andthet in default of payment site must go to prison. The unfortunate woman requested to be heard.' ' Distress had, she said driven her to the commistion of the offence, but she was no impostor. Iler father had been in the situation she hail described, anti .her family ,were related to thenoble family Named by her. . • , . , Ilere the Magisirate told her that the penalty must be paid, Or she must go to the 'louse of Correctien for a fortnight. r . The Secretary said that if she would abandon - the. mode. of lying she had followed, the penalty should be paid, and, she ihould be sent home to her pariah. , The prisoner consented, and the Secretary paid the penalty. MASTERS IN THE ..N.Aity.,-r-By the plan, which has been submitted to the lord* Cuniralaiimera of the Adrni. ratty, for the promotion of practical navigation on board ships of war, and the improvement of the condition of that very use ful ;lass of officers, M, asters ip the Navy,.the service would be enabled to train and bring up her own navigating ,officers, with. out hiving recourse to the merchant advice for auxiliaries as masters; another circumstance, strongly in favour of adopting ti class of navigating lieutenants, is the great experience they would - gain "While commanding" gun-brigs, cutters, and schooners on the several stations where they might be or. dcred, a* well as a local knowledge of dial harbours, which would be their particular rendezvous, and, to flirther the 'extent of nautical experience still more, it might be deemed expedient' IA change the stations of ell vessels commanded by navigating lieutenants once in every two years. All `those lieutenants ' who are now desirous of 'holding commands, would, of neees. sity, qualify themselves as navigating lieutenants nor would it he requisite to limit the number; as, etlinitting that time were twice the number of navigating lieutenants, that there are ahipa in the list of the navy, it would not be detrimental to the set vice, hecauee those officers could either dei the 'duty of lieu train of a welch; or take upon them the charge and naviga t ing othe ship. On the' contrary, it .would rather have the effect' o bringing forward a • great many alcilfol and judicious navi gators, whose abilities otherwise might never be brought Imo practice ; and it is generally allowed, that of all the theories of eciencs that of nevigation is the least useild, without the experienced and practical part. , „ Si Notme LdittctilitaTANCE.—A rabbit's nest was lately discpvered iintlerneatli the thatch of an old barn, on the premises of,;i: Westeer, L'sq. nt Cresiee, near Aylesbury.
