Parliament to be as careful of the - interes of the Church Establishment as the Catho ( - that, moreover, the object of the Catholic oath was pledge Catholic legislators to deal with the interests of the Church precisely as if they were Protestants. While,- therefore, the Catholics in Parliament confine them selves to the support of measures brought forward by a Protestant Cabinet, under the sanction of a Pro testant SOVEREIGN, and approved of by the voice of a majority of the people of England for the reform of the Church, they will be merely doing their duty to their constituents, to themselves, and to their country. Not to vote at all on Church questions would not be doing their duty, inasmuch as their oath binds them to act as if they were themselves in communion with the Church of England as by law established. But strongly as we repudiate the conduct of the Tories in the House of Peers, we are by no means of opinion that it will injure the liberal cause. On the contrary, it will put the country on its guard—it will convince rational men that, were the Tories to regain office, they would do all in their power to kindle the flames of civil war in Ireland. The following is the letter read by Lord MUL GRAVE, in the course of his speech in the House of Lords on Monday evening, by which it will be seen that the measure, which it was reported it is intended to be carried into effect on the property of Lord BAN DON in the county of Cork, has been actually executed on the property of another landlord, in the county of Wexford : THE NEW COMIC PERIODICAL.

The publication of: Tag Sri NRWSPaIPER commenced this day al 10 minutes past Four o' Clock.: .~~' "- ..4C 4 ,PAS '...M.C44----Zig&Z," -V./4;N Clue aim , LONDON : WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1837. In the House of Lords veterday, after certain returns had leen ordered, the Duke of NEWCASTLE got up and presented a petition, the most extraordinary and extravagantly absurd perhaps that has ever encumbered the talA of their Lord ships' House. The prayer of this precious petition, which, it seems, was concocted at a meeting in London, was that the Relief Bill of 1829, so far, at least, as Ir.-land was concerned, s'iould be repealed! —aye, repealed, and the Catholics Licked out of Parliament. That such a petition has been presented in the 37th year of the 19th century, many pc: sons, no doubt, will disbelieve ; in order, however, to show that we are not amusing ourselves in the fields of fiction, but dealing with an undeniable fact, we quote his Grace's own words :—" Th" main object of the petition (avowed the Duke of Newcastle) was to exclude Roman Catholics from the Legislature. The security given in passing the Relief Bill had proved insuffi dent protection for the Protestant inst:tutions of the country. It had becn agreed upon that the titular Bishops should not sign their names as possessing the titular .sres ; notwith standing which, the letter of this agreement had not been observed, for these I.relatcs did use their titular signa tures. The oaths of the Roman Catholic Members, too, had been disregarded"—and so forth. Lord LORTON, it will be seen, seconded this motion in a very long speech, which every friend of civil and religious freedom will rejoice to perceive was afterwards dealt with and dean:- fished by Lord BROUGHAM in a mariner so searching, convinc ing and complete, as to leave neither Lord LORTON nor his Grace of NEWCASTLE a single fibre untorn of the miserably poor, ridiculous, and exceedinely rotten web which those live Peers, aided by the petition-mongers, had produced by their united labour fur public exhibition. In the House of Commons, Mr. HAwKEs pr, sentei a peti tion for the adoption of a measure to prevent the use of rail roads until they had been surveyed and proved to be fit to travel on with safety. Mr. HOUSTON presented a petition from Renfrewshire, complaining of the present rates of postage throughout the country, and praying for an equalization of the rates of charge. Mr. H. FLEETNNOOD presented a petition from the Board of Guardians of the Preston Union, against the Poor Laws Amendment Act. The Report of the Charity Commissioners was laid upon the table. Mr. HUME asked—whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government after having expended 200,0001. in inquiring into the state of public charities, to bring in any Bill which would do away with the necessity of instituting such inquiry again. On the motion of Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET a Select Committee was appointed to inquire how far the intentions of the Reform Bill were defeated by making and registering fic titious and improper votes in Ireland. Sir H. VERNEY'S motion for leave to bring in a Bill to re lieve the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of England aad Wales from their duty of laying before her Majesty in Council a scheme for uniting the sees of Carlisle and Sodor and Mann, on a division, was negatived. Mr. FITZROY moved' for ereturn of the names of persons in • the employ of the Post-office, against whom any complaint had been made for voting at the last general election of Mem bers of Parliament, and the names of those who had been dis missed in consequence. The return moved for was ordered after some interesting conversation. On the motion of the SOLICITOR.. GENERAL, the Commis sions of the Peace Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be read a third time this day. The House adjourned at half-past Eight o'clock. The discomfiture of the Tory Lords in the House of Peers on Monday on the question of the present state of Ireland, was not so signal as to prevent the Duke of NEWCASTLE and Lords LORTON and WiNcuELsEA from again returning to the charge last night. The presentation of a petition from the Pro testant Association, praying for the repeal of the Catho lic Emancipation Act, on the modest ground that all the Catholic Members of the House of Commons were guilty of perjury, served to unmask the real views of the 'Ultra-Conservative faction. We cannot but ex press our regret that either Lords MELBOURNE or BROUGHAM should have thought it worth their while to notice the fanatical ravings of the Duke of NEW CASTLE, and his brace of Noble supporters. What regard is due to the preaching of a Nobl e L or d, w h o stated it as his solemn belief that the condition of Ire land is ten times worse now, as regards the security of life and property, than it was in 1798 ? Lord LORTON'S speech ought to be tested by the degree of accuracy v k'ch is accorded to this his solemn and explicit de claration. The observation of Lord MELBOURNE, that if the Catholic Members of the House of Com mons were perjured, so likewise must be the Govern ment, appeared to take their Lordships by surprise. They had, in their excessive zeal to stigmatize the Catholics, forgotten that there was such a thing as a Protestant oath, which bound Protestant Members of THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1537 establish national Schools—that they have not used the means in their power to apply the benefactions of cor porations and individuals to the benefit of those for whom they were intended ; and that while many of their flocks were destroyed for lack of knowledge, there were many of their body that received, what in other countries would be called princely incomes, for teaching two or three scholars, or for teaching none at all. The violent opposition made to the Education Committee in 1818—the accusation against its author that his object was to pull down the Church by pulling down the Universities and great schools, and the subsequent reports of that Committee—afford but too melancholy proofs of this charge against the Clergy. It is needless to say that the G o vernment have no such plan in view, and even Lord BROUG HAM, who would go much further than the Govern ment, abjured the remotest idea, and pointed out the impracticability of making education compulsory on the people, or of establishing any system excluding reli gion. The Clergy have no fear of any such plan, but they have especial dread of another, which they can not so easily resist, and which Lord BROUGHAM adverted to in these words : " I hope that in what I say I may not be deemed to commit myself in another direction. For if I am of opinion that edu cation should be by no means compulsory upon the people, I am equally of opinion that there ought to be the most careful rejection and exclusion of any principle in the measure which could give to the Established Church, or to any single sect, any preponderance, dominion, or power, exclusively and para mountly over the education of the people of this country." It will be seen that a motion to prevent the junction of the Bishopric of Sodor and Mann, with that of Carlisle was negatived last night in the House of Commons. The union of these Sees was recom mended by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and forms part of the plan on which the new arrangement of the Bishoprics, and the regulation of the Bishops' stipends, were founded, in the measure which passed the Legislature the last Session but one. Sir ROBERT INGLIS urged upon the House the necessity of more Bishops to supply the wants and de sires of the people, and strongly deprecated the ab sorption of Sodor and Mann, because it had been held sacred from plunder by a French privateer one hun dred years ago. Sir ROBERT PEEL opposed this un seasonable tampering with a law so recently passed, and sanctioned by the highest ecclesiastical autho rities in the land. It is quite clear that if we take the extent of the other Sees into consi deration, that of Sodor and Mann is far too insig nificant for a Bishopric, and almost for an Archdea conry. The only thing like an argument in favour of its continuing in its present dignity is that the incum bent is the only English Bishop who has not a seat in Parliament. In cutting him off, therefore, from the episcopal roll, we cut off an argument for excluding the Bishops from the House of Lords. The Paris Journals of Monday have all been re ceived, but they do not contain any domestic news of public interest. No intelligence of a later date than the accounts published yesterday has been received from Spain. The following extract has reference to the Government of French Africa : A Morning Journal publishes a list of the chief officers, civil and military, through whose hands the direction of the colony of Algiers may be said to have glidtd since the revolution of 1830. We re-publish this statement, because it is most instructive to the country. It discloses the secret of the barrenness of our conquest, and the little solidity of our power. What is first of all requisite in an establishment of this kind is a firm hand, with a decided system consistently pursued ; a great knowledge of the loca lities, and of the inhabitants; and, above all, a vigorous and durable command. How should Algiers be prevented from going to decay, if it were still to be abandoned to so many personal feelings—so many systems—so many contradictions. If the English were to follow such conduct, though firmly established in the Indies, they would not possess an inch of territory there in ten years. The following is the of Generals-in-Chief:— ._.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, YESTERDAY.— Wo have had no market for Cotton to-day, and we doubt whether the sales exceed 600 or 700 bags, when holders were determined to sell at rather lower prices; but there is no change from yesterday. We understand a meeting of the Committee for the memorial of the Duke of.. Wellington's military achievements took place on Saturday, the Duke of Rutland in the chair. There were present his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, the Bishop of London, Viscount Beresford, Viscount Lake, Lord Downes, Sir Henry Halford, Bart., Sir Astley Cooper, Bart., Sir James Rivett Carnac, Bart., M. P., Sir Frederick Trench, M. P., Sir Augustus Clifford, Major Smith, tJh.eM .Rainboro, Esq., and T. B. Simpson, E sq ., &c. & c . By Secretary's report it appeared that the sum of 11,4451. had already been subscribed, exclusive of what may have been re ceived in Ireland, Scotland, and other parts of the united kingdom, and what may betxpected from the army, navy, the universities, and learned professions, (very few members of which have as yet subscribed,) the :East and West Indies, and the British dependencies. The money actually paid has been invested in Exchequer Bills by the Treasurers, Messrs. Drummond, but the nature of the design was not taken- into consideration.

" Sir—l am sorry to say that Mr. Quin has informed me that he does not intend to set the farm of Limbric to your brother, and I have reason to believe that such intention is not upon account of any personal objection to either your brother or to you (as his security), but that his Roman Catholic tenants have in general given him every opposition in their power, both as to the payment of the tithe that he has been obliged by law to pay for them, and also in any general election for the county of Wexford, which I think has nearly determined him from setting in future to persons of that persuasion: " You will, therefore, inform your brother what I men tion, and say that unless he can change Mr. Quin's present sentiments, he had better not do any spring work in the farm, as possession will be demanded.-:-Yours truly, " < SANDAM SYMES. " Mr. Edward Doyle, merchant, Gorey.' " Who, after this, will talk of peace in Ireland, or of trea son against the Constitution ?" Mr. •HumE last night called the attention of the House of Commons to the fees paid to witnesses exa mined by Committees of the House in cases of con tested elections. From the statement of the Hon. Member, there appear to be good grounds for an enquiry into this matter. In election petitions, as in many other cases where the law is said to have provided a remedy for an evil, it often happens that the remedy is merely a nominal one, because in practice it is found by its expensiveness to be the greater evil. In excuse or defence of the dearness of law, which in fact amounts to a denial of justice to the poor, it is sometimes said that it is a good thing to discourage litigation, and that dear law has this effect. We have never been able to discover any sound foundation for this theory. On the contrary, we arc inclined to think that the easier the means cf redress, the less will be the disposition to do wrong ; anti that those are the best friends of peace, and the wisest improvers of our institutions, who labour to bring clown the price of justice, and also to render it in other ways accessible to all classes of the community. But to return to the subject in hand. It was stated by Mr. HUME that great abuses had crept into prac tice in the payment of election fees. For every wit ness examined the regular charge is half-a-crown ; but an ingenious plan has been devised for multiplying the half-crowns without increasing the number of wit nesses. Thus we find in one instance_ mentioned by Mr. flumE, nineteen witnesses producing four hun dred and eighty-seven half-crown. The way in which this is managed is by charging the fee every time the witness opens his mouth—be it but to say yes cr no—provided the examination has been inter rupted ; every re-examination of the same witness being held to he the same as the examination of a new one. By this means, in the case alluded to; the sum of 21.7:x. 6d. allowed by the standing rule, is swelled to 601. 17s. 6d. Again, a fee of two shillings is allowed on the pro duction of a d3cument ; but let the same paper be produced a thousand times, so often must the fee be repeated. By such means was the amount of the fees in this particular case increased from 100/. to 1,000/. On the suggestion of Mr. WARBURTON, Mr. HumE included in his motion the fees paid to Counsel. The motion thus enlarged was agreed to, and a Select Committee to inquire into the subject appointcd. The Clergy of Cheitet7ham have shown great ala crity in exciting prejudice against ally plan of national education that may be brought forward by the present Government. This was only what Lord MELBOURNE had to expect from a body of men who are more hos tile to improvement, and more active in exciting bad feelings between Churchmen and Dissenters, than any other class in the community. The imputations against the Government were embodied in a petition which was very properly entrusted to the Bishop of LONDON, and which be presented to the House of Lords with due effect. This is only a fresh specimen of the fair dealing of an influential portion of that con stituency which, according to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, ought to have the preponderance. Mr. WYSE, the Member for Waterford, and the unwearied advocate of a general system of education, had, at a late meet ing at Cheltenham, spoken favourably of the plan adopted by some Continental States to remove one great obstacle to the amalgamation of Protestants and Catholics—the dread of proselytism in schools. The party who have hitherto been hostile to every attempt to remove the disabilities of Catho lics, and to promote harmony between the two great denominations of Christians, pretend alarm at the plan recommended by Mr. NYSE ; but with their usual candour and fairness, do not cast the blame on him but on the Government, and infer that the Central Society of Education and her Majesty's Ministers have formed the design of bringing forward a Govern ment plan of national education which shall be com pulsory, and exclude the Bible, not only in its entire form, but in short selections. The logic by which they come to such a conclusion is well adapted to the under standing of a vast proportio n of their hearers. It is the plan of Mr. WYSE. Mr. WYSE and the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE are members of the Central Society, and supporters of the Government, and therefore it is the plan of the Central Society and the Government. By a similar perversion of facts, the uneducated pea santry were made to believe that the abolit ion o f Church rates would lead to the destruction of their parochial churches, and the desecration of the tombs of their fore fathers. There is just as much truth in the one inference as the other, and the Lord Bishop of LONDON, and the" able, learned, and efficient clergymen" of Cheltenham know it. No ! The clergy have no such apprehension ; but they apprehend that they are about to be deprived of that monopoly which they have so long perverted to their own purposes, and of the baneful effects of which the monstrous abuses that prevailed in our educational charities, previous to the Commission obtained by Lord BROUGITAM, are such signal proofs. They know that there never was a body of men with such means and opportunities that have done so little for the pro motion of education —that they have done nothing to PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius before the CHIEF JUSTICE and a Corn• mon Jury.) LIVEL.-ITARPUR V. EAVES. The plaintiff in this case is a solicitor, residing at Kenning ton, and as trustee in a cause in Chancery he had to pay to the defendant and others certain dividends out of a fund in the Court. A misunderstanding, the precise nature of which did not appear out of the proceedings of this day, arose between them respecting a dividend which was paid in 1836, and the defendant had ever since annoyed the plaintiff by sending let ters, addressed to him and to others, through the twopenny post, with abusive and slanderous words, reflecting on the plaintiff's character, written on the outside. These letters constituted libels, for which the present action was brought, and in the course of the trial the Court ruled that the sending the letters through the twopenny post, with the words com plained of on the outside, was a publication of the libels. The defendant, whose handwriting to the libels was proved, addressed the Court in person, and made a long rambling defence, which excited much laughter by its irrelevance, and in which he was repeatedly interrupted by the Court. Amongst other things, he complained that the plaintiff bad withheld from him a certain receipt ; but upon his reading one of his voluminous documents, the Court pointed out to him, that the receipt was, in point of fact, embodied in the document which he had read. Mr. Sergeant WILDE, on the part of the plaintiff, offered to take a nominal verdict, and to stay execution until the in jury shculd be repeated, upon the defendant's paying the costs out of pocket, and entering into a rule to the effect proposed. The CHIEF JUSTICE said that the defendant was treated with very , great kindness. It was impossible that Mr. Harpur should allow himself to be annoyed by such letters ; and his Lordship put it to the defendant whether he did not think he ought to accede to the very handsome offer of the plaintiff, as:d undertake to abstain, from writing such letters in future. The defendant, after a great deal of misapprehension (ow ing to his deafness), which caused much laughter in the Court, at length said, " I thank your Lordship, I cordially agree with 3 our Lordship's proposition."—( Laughter.) A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff, subject to a rule to stay execution until a repetition of the cause of action ; the plaintiff taking only costs out of pocket. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. ( Before Lord DEN)MAN and Mr. Justice PARKE. ) Margaret James was found guilty of having in her posses s:on, on the 31st of October, in the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, a mould bearing the impress of the obverse a•id reverse sides of a half-crown, for the purpose of coining the sari e. Edward Strange was indicted, for that he on the 18th of October, in the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, felo niously and maliciously cut and stabbed Sophia Moore, with intent to murder her. A second count charged the prisoner with cutting and wounding, with intent to indict grievous bodily harm. Mr. DOANE submitted, on the part of the prisoner that, under the recent statute, Ist Viet., ch. 85, the Counsel for the prosecution ought to be put on his election as to which of these counts he would proceed upon, for if a verdict of guilty we: returned, some difficulty would arise as to what the pu nishment should be. By the second section of the Act, it was enacted that any person who shall cut, stab, or wound, With intent to commit murder, shall suffer the punishment o' death. Now the first count was laid under that section, and their Lordships would find that, on 'referring to the fourth section under which the second count was laid, it was there provided that if the injuries were inflicted with the intent merely of doing bodily harm,' the punishment was discretion ary vs ith the Court. Now he submitted that if a general ver. diet of guilty were returned, a difficulty would arise as to what the punishment should be. . . . . Mr. Justice PARKI did not think that the party should be put to her election. It was for the Jury to say what the intent was, and then the Court would apply the punishment which the Act directed. Lord DENMAN expressed his entire concurrence -in the opinion of his Learned Brother. Sophia Moore, was then called, and deposed that she lived at 54, Nelson -street, and cohabited with the prisoner at the bar rather better than three years. The prisoner is a shoe maker. When witness lived with him he resided at No. 6, Mount-street. Left him 30th Sept. Met him in Shoreditch on Wednesday the 16th Oct. half-past eleven in the morning. He asked witness where she was going. Replied that she was not going far. He then asked where she lived. Witness replied that it was no business of his. Iln followed her to the corner of the church, and asked her would she have anything to drink. Witness refused, and asked what he was following her for. He replied, that he was not following her. I was near my home, 61, Castle-street. A little boy opened the door for me. When I got in I endeavoured to shut the door, but the prisoner prevented me. He caught hold of me by the shoulder, and stabbed me in the shoulder. He repeated the blow four times, and in the throat. Cannot say what weapon he used. I cried, " Murder," and laid hold of him by the neekkerchief ; he said, " You b-- let go." To get rid of the, he - cut the corners of the handkerchief off, with the weapon he had, and got away. I bled very much indeed, and was in the hospi tal about a fortnight. Robert Bates, policeman, No. 51, produced the bonnet and dress of last witness. Sophia More, cross-examined by Mr. DOANE.—i did not push the prisoner when he tried to get in. I had not hold of his handkerchief before he stabbed me. I was as cool then as I am now. I was at the time living with another man in this house. He got completely in. I was doinn , nothing to him. I did nut try t o p reven t him going further when he got in. As soon as he got in, without saying any thing, he stabbed me. I saw the prisoner at Worship street, and he shook hands with me, after the examination be fore the Magistrate. Elizabeth - Faucit, who lived in the parlour of the house in question, corroborated the evidence of the prosecutrix ; as did also John Tombs, who resided three doors from the house in question. Mr. Barrow, the house-surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, was called to prove the injuries inflicted on the pro seeutrix. Found five wounds on the upper part of her body. There were two on the head and one on the back of the neck. The remainder were on the left side and shoulders. The wounds appeared to have been inflicted by stabs. Mr. DOANE addressed the Jury on the part of the prisoner, and on applying himself to the count which charged the wounds to have been inflicted with intent to murder, was in terrupted by Mr. Justice PARKE, who told him that he need not trouble himself with that part of the indictment. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to apply himself to the other portion of the charge, and contended that the pri soner had been compelled to use the knife in self-defence. Mr. Justice PARKE briefly addressed the Jury, who re quested permission to retire for a few minutes. After an absence of about a quarter of an hour, they returned a verdict of Guilty on the third count—namely, that the wounds had been inflicted with an intent to do grievous bodily harm. A few days ago, a sparrow, closely pursued by a hawk, took refuge in the chir,a shop of Mr. Benjamin Evans, of this town. The terrified little flutterer, in his efforts to es cape, got behind some of the brittle ware, amongst which his foe, in attempting to dislodge him, made sad havoc with wings and beak : at length, however, the sparrow flew out at the door, closely followed by the hawk, and bosh were instahtly ,ost sight of,—Merthyr Chronicle, Wheat.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK We have received Hobart Town papers to the 29th July. They state—" it will be scarcely credited that there are now in Hobart Town two gentlemen who left Sydney with a horse and gig, travelling overland a distance of five or six hundred miles through an uninhabited country, surrounded by the black natives, to the new settlement of Port Philip ; from thence crossing the Straits in a vessel to Launceston, and then from that town to this metropolis, performing the whole journey in an open gig. " MARKET PRICES. —ln our Wheat Market, little business has been done. During the past month, the farmers have been rather slow in bringing their Wheat to Market, owing to the' unsettled state of the weather rendering the roads impassable. Lisle or no change has, therefore, taken place in the price of Colonial produce. Average price of Wheat, Bs. 93. ; Oats, 6s. ; Barley, 6s. 93., per Bushel ; Potatoes, 6/. to 6/. Bs. per Ton. Flour, 20s. to 225., per Cwt. Butcher Meat of all kinds, very dear. " The weather for the last month has been very wet and cold. Mount Wellington has had a continued covering of snow. There has been more snow this season than has been known for many years. We have not heard that there has been much loss among the flocks. . There is a great scarcity of Vegetables of every description ; in Hobart Town, butcher meat is hardly to be got at any price.

In the Foreign Market the chief speculation yesterday was in Brazilian Stock, which fluctuated contintudly during ti;e morning, and closed firm at 78—an advance of neariy 4 per cent. on the recent depression. This advance is attributed to the favollrahle accounts received yesterday from Rio Janeiro, which had taken by surprise the parties who' have beert,largelv selling the above securities.

CATHERINE'S DAY, Nov. 25.—St Catherine was esteemed the saint and patronness of spinsters, and her holiday observed by young women meeting on this day, and making merry together, which they call " Cather'ning;" something of this still remains in remote parts of England. It was formerly the custom every St. Catherine's day for a man dressed in women's clothes, with a large wheel by his side, to represent St. Catherine, to be brought out of the' Royal Arsenal, at Woolwich, by the workmen of that place, about six o'clock in the evening, seated in a large wooden chair, and carried by men round the town, with attendants. They stopped at different houses, where they used to recite a speech, but this ceremony has been discontinued many years. On Wednesday Miss Elizabeth Parry, daughter of the late Mr. H. Parry, of Pen-y-dref, Anglesey, a beautiful young woman, twenty years of age, came by her death in the following manner :—She had arrived on Tuesday on a visit to her aunt, who keeps the inn at Holyhead. On the day of the fatal event a man named Radford, who had been out shooting, came to the inn, and on going away left his gun, loaded with swan shot, in the bar ; a lad, a first cousin of Miss Parry's, only thirteen years of age, took up the gun, and, presenting it at her in sport, pulled the trigger, when the whole charge of shot entered her chest, at the upper part of the left breast, shattering the collar-bone, and lodging in the lungs. A sur geon was immediately called in, but no hope remained, the sufferer dying in less than an hour after the accident.—North Wales Chronicle. - On Saturday the farm buildings of Diuniner Farm, Popham-lane, the property of Mr. S. Jessey, and in the oc cupation of Mr. Drummond, were maliciously set on fire by some miscreants, as yet undiscovered, when the whole of the extensive and valuable range of buildings, with their contents, consisting of wheat and other corn, the produce of a large farm, was completly consumed.
