This is the only Guaranteed Mutual Life Company— All other Assurance Companies are either Mutual, in which the parties Assured are also their own assurers, there being no Share holders and no original Capital—or Proprietary, in which the assured have no share in the profits, whteh belong exclusively to the Shareholders—or Mixed, in which the assured have the option, on payment of larger premium, of participating in a portion only of the profits. 13y the Constitution of the Lon don, Edinburgh, and Dublin Company, the Mutual Class of the assured are entitled to the Whole of the Mutual Profits, as if they had been assured in a purely Mutual Society, and they have also the security of the funds of the Company supplied by the Shareholders, who, guarantee by the subscribed Capital, the payment of the sums assured—the assured themselves being re lieved from all responsibility, and thus placed in the right of the advantages afforded both by Mutual Societies and Proprie tary Companies.

Important improvements have been introduced jute Life As surance practice by this Company, whereby the mode of ob taining Policies is simplified, all doubtsi as to their validity are removed, and their application is much extended. The Policiez are Indefeasible and Indisputable, unless they have been fraudulently obtainetl. They at once create for the assured an unquestionable right in reversion, easily negotiable, and valuable as a collateral security in pecuniary transactions. One-half of the Premiums may remain unpaid for Seven Years, affording a greater facility and more economical plan for loan transactions and family provisions than any other which has been suggested, allowing a Policy to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured at a futhre pe riod, when loss of health may prevent him from obtaining a new assurance, to continue a Policy for double the amount of the sum for which he has paid premiums.

Provisions for Old Age may be made by the purchase of an annuity to commence at any defined age, or by effecting a Life Assurance according to the following Table, whereby the sum assured is made payable to the Assured himself on his attaining 60 years of age, and in the event of his death before that time, it is payable to his heirs or assigns.

In d .ing this, how ever, caution must be observed, as certain individuals, without honour or honesty, are offering a dangerous substitute instead of the genuine Medicine. The Proprietors cannot, of course, be accountable for any untoward results that may ensue to these who have been thus imposed upon, but they can point out a effectual means to prevent further imposition. Purchasers may be sure they have the genuine Medicine, if they find the words PARR'S LIFE PILLS engraved on the Government Stamp, in White Letters on a Red Ground. Ob serve, also, that the name of Mr. Edwards, 67, St. Paul's, London, is printed, as Wholesale Agent, en the directions which are wrapped round every box.. Price Is. 441, 2s. 9d., and 11s. each. Instances of Cures, when every other remedy had failed, are received daily. The following, from a highly-respectable indi vidual, is selected from hundreds of a similar nature : FROM MR. HOLLIER, CHEMIST, DirDLET. To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills. " Dudley, Sept. 14, 1841.

" I, Joshua Ball, hereby testify, that I had been dreadfully afflicted with Rheumatic Gout for 17 years, so that I have at times kept my bed for months together, and could not get any thing to do me good, till I took Parr's Life Pills,' which I am very happy to state have nearly restored me to perfect health.

Illustrated with Cases, &c. By C. J. LUCAS and CO., Consulting Surgeons, London.

Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor, or, where debi lity has made threatening inroads, the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts ere extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin, and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heath of Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information an those salutary cautions this work is in tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and (as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the con ect treatment of sexual infirmities. If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflec tion and extensive practical experience. The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secrecy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are. given with faithful, but alas ! fur human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with out affording a remedy. It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarilyimpaired, and mental and physical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be restored ; haw the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion--afraid almost to encounter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the mind anebody. Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public, anal not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession, are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and will demand that medical works for public study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally, yet very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye) an entire devotedne , s to a deeply important branch of study. The tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well-written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism. No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a g and practic a ll y conver - warning beacon, a well-told appeal to re ason , a permanent blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent styl e , an d i s evi sdaennttlwyitthhethperottusecatisoens o o f fthaemost de mind lenlicate division o f t h e h uman organization. The security of happiness in the Marriage State is the chief anxiety of all; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a sesret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations. This essay is most particularly ad dre :sed to all suffering under a despondency of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart, and point the way to renovated health.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad kooks. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Marsh sod ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has teen to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intellistble to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu &bk.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing aseries of oaladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an i n t e lli gen t friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel ne hesita • tinn in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. , The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &e., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &e., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.--Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those ,who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. _ Messrs.

We regret to have to record the melancholy death of this lady, which took place at Brighton on Friday morn ing last, in consequence of injuries received from .fire. '. The circumstances under which it took place are detailed in the following evidence, which was given at an inquest held at the City of Hereford Inn, Brighton, on Saturday, before J. F. Gill, Esq., Coroner, and a respectable Jury. Sarah Cooper deposed—l was maid to the deceased, who resided in . Charlotte-street, Brighton. She was a single woman, and was in her 78th year. On Thursday morning, the 23d of November, between nine and ten o'clock, I had dressed her in all but her upper garments, and had then left her and retired into an adjoining room, as was my custom, until she washed. About half an hour afterwards I heard a noise as of the stamping of feet. I opened the door immedi ately, and found the deceased in the middle of the room enveloped in flames. I went up to her and got a carpet and put it over her, and then rang the bell. I screamed loudly. The two emale servants and the nurse came up immediately. The servants threw water upon her and extinguished the flames, and we then put her to bed. I then discovered that her left arm and thigh and round her throat were much burned. She was not able to speak much. She asked me how it happened but I was unable to tell her. There was a fire in the room., but there was no (mud on it. The flames appeared to me to have caught the lower part of her clothes. Medical as sistance was immediately obtained, but she died about half-past two o'clock on the night of Thursday. I bad been accustomed to leave her in her room with a fire in it: I had placed her gown before the fire to warm it. Mr. R. P. Phillpots, surgeon, Devonshire-place, Brighton, deposed :—I was called upon to attend the de ceased on the morning of Tuesday, the 23d ult., in con sequence of her having been burned. Being out, my as sistant went before me. On my arrival I found him dressing wounds of considerable magnitude on the left arm of the deceased. Her chin, throat, and left thigh were also very much burned. I continued to attend her up to her death. She died of fever, the consequence of injuries to the skin from the burning. She was unable to give any account as to how it happened. The Jury immediately returned a verdict of " Acci dental Death." The deceased was sister to the late and aunt to the present Earl Fortescue. CHURCH BREVET.—A forty years' Curate pro poses, with all ecclesiastic gravity and earnestness, in a letter to the Dublin Mail, that the Qucen, in order to record to posterity,.by some signal sad munificent aet, the birth of the young Prince, shotod order the heads of the ecclesiastical establishments in these kingdoms, to make preparations for a Brevet in the Church. FATHERS AND SONS.—Theodore Hook was ontl of the very. few of our modern novelists duly quali fied to delineate existing society, for he had enjoyed opportunities of stud) ing it under every 'view in winch it could be observed with advantage—had - mixed in the most brilliant coteries, and was equally familiar with cir cles of much less pretension. In the last of his admirable productions, just published, under the title of "Fathers and Sons," he had shown the excellent use to which he could apply his imagination when directed upon a sub ject so familiar to him. The characters of the lively tourist, Lady Cramly ; of the exceedingly attractive house keeper, Mrs. Smylar ; of the Chaperon, Lady Gramm, who knew every body that was anybody; and of her com panion and toadee, the sentimental poetess, Miss Phee zle, are no less true to nature and full of amusement than the gallant and disagreeable Colonel Bruft; the elderly young gentleman, Sir George Grindie ; his hope ful son, the Lady Killer, and the other worthies who play their several parts in this clever and interesting story. We can have no doubt that its popularity will be great, as it is the best and most entertaining picture of the manners of the day seen for many years.

PRICE 5d PRIESTLY TYRANNY. REPORT of the Proceedings of the Presbytery of Arbroa th, in the Complaint at the instance of George Key, against the Kirk S ess i on o f B arry, for depr i v i ng him an his Wife of Church Privileges, in consequence of their having Buried their Child on a Sabbath Morning. The ordinary Monthly Meeting of the Presbytery of Arbroath was held in the Town-hall on Wednesday, Dec. 1. Sederunt—the Rev. Messrs. Walker, Muir, Bar clay, T. Wilson, W. Wilson, Crichton, Lumsden, Mac beth, Kirk, Dymock, Arkley, and Weir, ministers•, Messrs. Tod, Stephen, Petrie, Guthrie, Strachan, Mill (Inverkeillor), and Milne (Abbey Church), elders. After the disposal of a variety of routine business, the Presby tery proceeded to the consideration of the complaint against the Moderator and Kirk Session of Barry. As a considerable degree of excitement prevails in the public mind in regard to this case, it may be necessary, in order to enable parties to form a correct judgment on the merits of the question, to recapitulate the previous procedure. At the meeting of Presbytery held on the Ist of September last, there was presented the following Petition and Complaint:_ Unto the Reverend the Presbytery of Arbroath ; the humble Petition of George Key, servant to William Henderson, Esq., of Grange of Barry, Sheweth—That the petitioner is tinder the necessity of applying to the Presbytery, for protection from certain proceedings adopted against him by the Kirk Session of Barry, in which parish he has resided for the last five 3 „ rs, during whi c h p er i o d he has been in communion with ti l , c Established Church of Scotland. The circum stances are these:" The p e titi oli ,srjs a married man, and has a wife and one child, a girl tsYe years of age, still alive. His only other child died on tho 30th day of April last, After a short illness, at the age of six years. In order to ceaable the relations and friends to attend the funeral, the peti tioner was under the necessity, and considered that Sab bath, the 2d day of May last, was the day for his family and relations altogether most suitable for the interment. The interment accordingly took place eerly on that day. The ceremony was conducted with proper and becoming solemnity, and was concluded, in the church-yard of ,Barry, before the Minister entered the church for the purpose of conducting divine service in the forenoon.. The petitioner's relations and friends, who attended the funeral, attended also the service in the church. Early on the following morning, the person at present performing the duties of Session Officer called upon the petitioner, and left a verbal message for the petitioner, that the Kirk Session wanted to see him in the evening. As no intimation was given to the petitioner of the cause or purpose for which lie was thus called before the Session, and as the petitioner was not conscious of having done anything as to which the Session had a right to interfere, he did not attend. On the afternoon of following Saturday (Bth May), the Rev. Mr. Lumsden, the Minister of the parish, called at the petitioner's house when the petitioner was from home, engaged at his ordinary employment, but the peti tioner's wife was in the house. In place of endeavour ing to soothe her distressed feelings for her recent be reavement, or to sympathize with her in her affliction, Mr. Lumsden accused her cud her husband of having desecrated the previous Sabbath, by having interred Tan that day the remains of their deceased child ; and he told her, in what she considered a harsh manner, that unless both she and her husband should immediately ap pear before the Kirk Session of Barry, and confess that they had been guilty of desecrating the Sabbath, and submit to be rebuked by him before the Session for that offence, he would have recourse to the law of the Church, and excommunicate them, by refusing them tokens for the then approaching Sacrament. The petitioner's wife told Mr. Lumsden, in a respectful manner, that she would be sorry if he did so • but that neither she nor her hus band would conf e ss of being guilty of a crime by having performed the painful, but necessary, duty of burying a beloved child. Subsequent to the visit from Mr. Lumsden, just men tioned; the petitioner and his wife have been annoyed, and had their feelings lacerated, in their own house, on five different occasions, by visits from and verbal com munings with Mr. Lumsden and other members of the Kirk Session, and Session officer, with a view to induce the petitioner to appear before the Session, and confess that he had done wrong in burying his child on the Sabbath day, to which the petitioner would not agree. At length, on the 3d day of July last, a written sum mons was left at the petitioner's house, to the following effect : " By order of the Kirk Session of Barry. "I, James Bulk, Session Officer, hereby summon you, George Key, resident at Grange of Barry, to attend a meeting of the said Session, to be held in Barry School house, on the evening of Monday, the sth day of July, 1841, at seven o'clock evening. Witness my hand this 34 day of July, 1841, (Signed) "JAMES BUIK, Session Officer. " To Geome Key, Grange of Barry." It will be observed . that this summons does not charge the petitioner with any offence, and the Kirk Session of Barry has never yet brought any charge against him. In consequence of the writteu summons before quoted, the petitioner went with Mr. James Wighton, a friend of his master, to the Kirk Session, to ascertain what the Session had to charge the petitioner with ; but the clergyman declined to give any inforination to the peti tioner in Mr. Wighton's presence ; and, after some irre gular proceedings on the part of Mr. Lumsden, the peti tioner returned home. On Thursday the Bth day of July last, being the Sa cramental Fast-day, the petitioner went, along with the other members of the congregation, to get tokens for himself and his wife for the communion table,.but he was refused them. Ho again applied fur them on the evening of the following Saturday (10th July, 184.1), both to one of the Elders (William Ewen), and also to Mr. Lumsden, .but he was then "peremptorily and distinctly" refused them. The petitioner having, by these harsh and irregular proceedings been cast out of the Established Church of Scotland, and held up and stigmatised to the world as a criminal, and the sacred feelings of his wife and only surviving child having been injured, and that, too, with out specifying any charge against the petitioner, he will be driven to seek religious instruction for himself and family under some other Church, unless the Rev. Presby tery interfere, and interpone their authority to relieve and protect him from the oppressive and tyrannical pro ceedings of the Kirk Session of Barry. The petitioner has the greatest reverence for the Church of Scotland, in the principles of which he was educated, brought up, and has all Mon lived, and under whose religious instruction it is his most anxious desire to continue and educate his only surviving child. May it therefore please the Reverend Presbytery to take the petitioner's case into their co::sideration ; to find that the said Kirk Session of Burry acted wrongfully in excluding the petitioner from the Sacra went ; to ordain the Kirk Session to expunge from . its records the proceedings against the petitioner ; to restore him to his privileges in the Church, and to do otherwise in the premises as to the Presbytery shall seem just. According to justice, &c. (Signed) GEORGE KEY. No report has been preserved of the highly characte ristic preceedings which followed on the presentation of this petition ; but the res gestce will be easily enough gathered from the annexed. The Presbytery met in the Guildhall on Wednesday last, and was constituted by prayer by the Rer. Mr. Walker, the Moderator. Mr. Anderson, writer, appeared for the petitioner. After reading the minutes of the previous sedorunt, Mr. Wilson, of Carmylie,stated that it was the universe) practice of the Church to proceed with closed doors in all cases of discipline ; and therefore moved that the PreSbytery should follow the same course in the pre sent case. Mr. Muir, of St. Vigean's—This is no case of disci pline at all. It is a complaint of oppression against the harsh and tyrannical proceedings of the Kirk Session of Barry. It is quite true that, in cases of discipline, the Presbytery universally and wisely proceed with closed doors ; but this is quite a different matter. This is not a case of fornication or adultery, where the evidence is of such a nature that it would be improper to adduce it in open Court. Hero there is nothing impure that could taint the minds of the most delicate or fastidious. It was a case of the greatest and most vital interest to the public. The Presbytery had already appointed a Com mittee, the labours of which, he- considered, would, in all probality, produce numerous cases of discipline ; and, as many cases similar to the present might arise, it was essentially the duty and interest of every man to [ulcer thin clearly the mind of the Presbytery on the subject.— (Loud approbation from the audience.) Mr. Wilson, Carmylie, considered the sounds the Pres bytery had just heard were of themselves ver = y sufficient reasons for their excluding th e public from their delibera tions, on account of their improper behaviour. He was sur prised to hear it stated that this was no case of disci pline ; and craved the decision of the Court on the Mo tion which he had submitted. Mr. Muir moved that the Presbytery should proceed with this case in the ordinary y Mr. Kirk, of Arbirlot, agreed with Mr. Muir that this was not an ordin ary case of discipline. * He thought it should not be conducted with closed doors. On the motion being seconded, Mr. Ander son sa i d his client had no wish for con cealment It should, th er efore,be distinctly understood, that if ther e was any desire to shun publicity, it was not on his part, but reste d so l e l y w i th the Presbytery. The roll was then called, and the state of the'vote was found to be as follows :—For Mr. Muir's motion (that the public should not b e exc l u d e d), 3 ; for Mr. Wilson's motion (that the doors should be closed), 9. , On the roll bei n g called, and Mr. Lumsdcn's vote Doing tendered, Mr. Anderson objected to his sitting as a Judge in a case in which he was a witness, and had a personal interest, and protested against his vote being recorded. " You can't be heard ! you can't be heard !" exclaimed several members of the Presbytery simultaneously. Mr. W. Wilson's motion was thus carried by a ma jority of 6, and the Moderator intimated to the audience the Presbytery's resolution to proceed with closed doors, and desired them to withdraw. Two or three gentle men immediately rose and retired, but the rest of the spectators quietly kept their seats. A very embarrassing pause now occurred, in the course of which the leading members of Presbytery exchanged looks of surprise and astonishment, and anxiously whispered together. At last silence was broke by //- EVENING SUN. Mr. Dymock, of Carnonstie, who, addressing not the Moderator but the spectators, asked, "Does the audience understand that the Moderator has intimated that the Court has determined to proceed with closed doors in this case, and that it is therefore necessary for -them to retire ? Itecate they do not, the Moderator will again intimate the resolution of the Presbytery. The Moderator accordingly made a second time inti i motion ; and, as ho observed, there were several persons present who had not the good sense and discretion to withdraw of their own accord, in terms of the Presby tery's resolution, he assured them they were only causing a vexatious delay, and impeding the proceedinge in the case. The Moderator was heard with respectful attention, but no one offered to retire. Indeed, instead of diminish ing, the audience was increasing in numbers. The si leisce that now ensued was only broken by the gentlemen who seem to take the entire charge of the Presbytery's busyness--Messrs. W. Wilson (Carmylie), Lumsden, and Dymock. The import of their remarks did not reach the ears of the audience ; but some of them, it would appear, had been caught by Mr. Muir, who enli vened the scene by exclaiming, " Moderator, they say I court popularity. Now it is well known that there never was a man that courted popularity less than I do. I stand up, Sir, simply for reason and justice, and I do so almost alone." A burst of applause from the audience followed. After alittle farther whispering, Mr. W. Wilson moved that the Presbytery adjourn to Seaton's Hotel, and summon parties apui acta. Mr. Lumsden—l second the motion. Nothing further was done for a considerable time. The trio already mentioned were, as usual, anxiously whispering together. The rest of the members of the Court were warming themselves, and even Mr. Muir, who seldom leaves his seat at the Presbytery's table, drew in his chair towards the fire. At last, Mr. Lums den again tried his influence, and intimated that there could be no manner of doubt the Presbytery might re- MOTO parties by physical force, an d a f terwar d s prose cute them for their illegal conduct in impeding the pro ceedings of a Church Court. This, like the rest of the remarks that fell from the same quarter, WAS received by the audience with the greatest equanimity ; and the Rev. Gentleman resumed his scat. Shortly after, however, ho again rose, and said that he had already intimated that the parties present had rendered themselves liable to civil penalties. He had now to warn them that they were also subjecting them selves to ecclesiastical censures, and the vario us Ki r k Sessions to which they belonged would be enjoined to deal with them for their conduct. This awful threat seemed to create a " profound sensation" among the members of Court themselves, but it only elicited a gene ral titter from the imperturbable audience. In a short while Mrs. ' Wilson of Carmylie (who had been absent for, a consideesable time) returned and announced to the-Pres bytery, that he had seen the Provost and ono of his legal advi.'ers, on the subject of their present:position ; and that they had directed that the Presbytery should make a format s.pplication in writing, instead of merely a verbal communication. He had, therefore, prepared a short petition, which he moved should be adopted by the Presbytery, and presented to the Provost. The Moderator inquired if the petition had been agreed to ? Mr. Muir turned round from the fire, and said that it was really necessary that their proceedings should be consistent. It had been agreed to rem. con., not malty minutes ago, that. the Presbytery should adjourn to Seaton's Hotel, and now they were about to adopt a very different course. He would like to know what the minutes of the meeting bore on the subject. Messrs. Lumsden and Wilson—No motion was ever made or seconded that the Presbytery should adjourn. Mr. Muir—l care not for that. It was proposed and agreed to, and, as I believe, minuted. The Moderator—l.never put any such motion from the chair. Mr. Muir—Moderator, all I want to know is what our clerk has taken down in the minutes? Mr. Lumsden—The clerk may take down anything he likes. That does not signify. Mr. Muir—l want to know what he has taken down. Mr. Lumsden—There are then two motions before the Court— Mr. Muir (interrupting) —I make no motion on the subject. There is no necessity that I should do so. As .a member of the Court I am surely entitled to know what has heel minuted by the clerk. What Is the ?ashy tery ashamed of what has been done, and afraid to et it be known ? Mr. Dymock (to the Clerk)—You had better read it. The Clerk then began to read from the minutes, in a low tone of voice, when Mr. Muir called upon him to speak out, as he (Mr. Muir) was a little deaf. He-ulti mately read as follows:--" The Presbytery, in conse quence of the audience, after having been repeatedly re quested .to withdraw, refusing to do so, resolve to ad journ to Seaton's Hotel, and summon parties spud acW." He then explained that it was a common thing for him to minute the terms of a motion while it was under discus sion, and that it might be afterwards altered or expunged in any way the Presbytery might think fit. Mr. Wilson (Carmylie), moved that tho part of the minutes now read by the Clerk should bo expunged. Mr. Lumsden—l second that motion. Mr. Kirk considered Mr. Muir perfectly entitled toin sist on the minutes being read, but there could be no doubt they might be altered in any way the Presbytery pleased, before they closed the sederunt. Moderator—ls at the Preabytery's pleasure that this part of the minutes be expunged? • Mr. Lumsden—Put it out. The Moderator addressed a note to the Provost re questing him to order the civil power to clear the hall. After a short interval, Provost Mann, Baffles Lyon and Jolly, Mr. Macdonald,Depute Town Clerk, and Mr.ltitchie, Procurator Fiscal, entered the room amidst the plaudits of the-audience, who rose in a body as a mark of respect to the Chief Magistrate. Provost Mann, addressing, them, said, Gentlemen, a com plaint has been made to me of your having interfered with the proceedings of the Presbytery. They have resolved to proceed with closed doors in a cave now before them, and you have refused •to withdraw and leave them by them selves. I -Oink it is to be regretted that they should have adopted such a resolution. I disapprove of their pro ceedings as much as you can do—(Hear, hear)—but still it appears to me that it would be much more dignified on your part to withdraw of your own accord, and allow them to proceed in their own way. lam not inclined to adopt any proceedings officially to get the Court cleared, and as I have recommended you all to retire voluntarily, I trust nothing farther will be necessary on my part (Loud applause.) Mr. Wilson (Carmylie) trusted they would now be enabled to proceed to business. It would be perfectly useless for the audience to attempt to remain longer. He was determined they should not be gratified-by being allowed to be present and hear the proceedings in the case ; and he would not. submit longer to the treatment the Court had to-day experienced.—(Hisses, followed by the audience resuming their seats.) Provost Mann—" Fie, fie, gentlemen ! Hissing is an unseemly practice at any time, and more especially so in a Church Court." The Moderator hoped the gentlemen present would now have the good sense to retire, without making any farther attempts to impede the business proceeding. Ho had stated, and now repeated, his own opinion, that the Court should not have been closed ; but after the Pres bytery had deliberately resolved to do so, there was no alternative for the spectators but to retire. Mr. M ' uir—Gentlemen as the Provost has request e d ' you to withdraw, although he disapproves of the discre ditable conduct of the Presbytery (in which I think every man of character and conscience must agree with him) / hope you will now obey his solicitation and leave the hall. Loud applause followed Mr. Muir's speech, and the official gentlemen, and the greater part of the audience, withdrew immediately after. Several, however, still seemed disinclined to retire, and kept their seats: where • upon Mr. Weir—who had been gnawing the top of his walking cane for a considerable time, with no great relish apparently—exclaiming " This will never do," bounced out of the room in a very considerable pucker, overtook the Provost at the h ea d o f t h e stair, and, bringing him back, said, " You must really clear the Court, Provost." The Provost advanced to the Presbytery table, when after some further angry discussion they resolved to ad journ to the Hall. The Moderator then summoned the petitioner to follow the Presbytery, and closed the meeting with prayer. Immediately after leaving the Guild Hall, the Presbytery walked up to Seaton's Hotel, where a room had been engaged for them. Duo care having been taken that no intruders had obtained admission, the.ad journed meeting was constituted by prayer by the Mode rator ; and the minutes of the previous sederunt having been read, parties were then called ; The Presbytery's resolution to proceed with closed doors was then communicated, against which Mr. J. A. Anderson, for the petitioner, protested, and appealed to the ensuing meeting of the Synod of Angus and Mearns. Thus ended the scene. THE FIRE AT THE TOIVER.—The Tower was yesterday opened to the public for the first time since the destruction of the Armoury. On Saturday last an ex tensive marquee was erected within the walls of the ruins, in which are placed tables and benches for the purpose of holding pieces of fused metal, niusket and pistol bar rels, locks, flints, and other small articles, which have been got out of the rubbish during the clearing away. All these relics, as they are called, are carefully selected and arranged, according to their supposed value, and are ticketed at prices varying rrom 6d. to 1/. Notwithstand ing the re'n, which continued nearly the whole of th e day, some hundreds of p ersons of both sexes availed themselves of the first opportunity afforded to p v u ie r w ch ti:e ruins. It was generally supposed, that on admission within the gates the visitors would be at once allowed to inspect the remains of the armoury ; but they were s oon undeceived, on learning that it was necessary to a ticket at the Armoury-office, by virtue of which they e were at liberty to view the whole of the Tower, acco panied by a Warden, just the same as before the cal el: tons event. It was amusing to see the anxiety many many ladies evinced to purchase a piece of fused or clinker, run into some fantastic shape, and th Metal care with which they were deposited in reticul e great new apartment has been prepared for the in re t e l epl a of urse the Crown jewels, which will be removed A llri i . n d i g ana 7 ck c: for of a few days from Messrs.
