A new agitation has arisen, not giving itself voice in articulate speech, not even embodying an argu ment in thought shaped and formed for after expres sions when it shall have the necessary organs, but finding vent in a low growl of discontent. The farmers begin to find that they have been deceived ; that every promise made to sustain them 'in the artificial condition which they held during the war has been falsified, that the lavv - of 1815, which was to guarantee them 80s. for their wheat, was only a law to sustain rent; that the law of 1828, which we. to give them steady prices at about 725., was only a law to sustain rent; and that Peers Bill of 1842, to keep prices at or about 555., is as great a deception a. the others. True, they have now a protection to the amount of 20s. a quarter, a protection of 31.. an acre on ordinary, and 51. an acre on good, well-farmed land ; but with all this protection the fact that wheat has fallen to 48s. staggers their belief in the power of the Legislature to keep up'prices ; and they now begin to discover that in every election since they have enjoyed the privilege of a vote, they have been dragged to the poll that laws might be made to oppress them without doing themselves any good, and which not only have done them no good, but, by holding out the false hope of high prices, have in duced them to offer rents which they now find them selves totally unable to pay. They have as yet but a faint glimmering of the truth ; but the light begins to break upon them. They begin to see that all this legislation has done them no good, and they have a faint apprehension that it has done them some harm ; but the landlords have hitherto been their thought proxies, and they cannot, all at once, think for them selves. But they are in the way towards their emancipation—the low grumble is heard, indicative of a deep discontent. which, by-and-bye, will find eloquent voice. A friend furnishes us with the fol lowing' dialogue between himself and a fat bullet headed Cheshire farmer whom he met the other day " IVell ; how is cheese selling? " Selling! Why, next to nought.

GEORGE ROBINS i 3 honoured by the ...TA_ instructions of a Foreign GenCeman to SUBMIT to PUBLIC COMPETITION, and entirely free from reserve, at his Great Rooms, in Covent-garden, on THURSDAY, Dec. 8, at Twelve, FORTY-FIVE PAINTINGS of the highest class and unquestionable authenticity, by the most renowned masters of THE DUTCH, FLEMISH, ITALIAN, FRENCH, AND SPANISH SCHOOLS, embracing the well-known and highly-celebrated collection of pictures which for so long a period formed LA BELLE GALLERIE DU CHATEAU DE WESTMALLE, PRES D'ANVERS, and enjoyed a reputation of so high a character among the cognoscenti of all countries, which Mr. Robins feels cannot but cause considerable excitement upon its being announced for peremptory sale in London. The collection includes many distinguished pictures, and there will be found chcf-d'oeuvres by the following eminent masters, viz. : Van Asselyn A. Van Dyck P. P.

We therefore fondly hope that you will take our case into your immediate serious considera tion, and use your utmost exertions to alleviate our distress, seeing that the winter is approaching, and thousands of virtuous and industrious families have neither clothes nor bedding, nor wherewith to pro cure fuel, and the relief given in food is not more than one meal per day. Gentlemen, it is work we want s —we do not want to eat the bread of idleness, or of charity, but of la bour. Nothing gives us more pain than for our chil dren to know that they are living on charity; we there fore pray that you will give all the aid you can to the Relief Committee of Greenock, so that they may be enabled to set us all, or as many as possible, to work. We would also ask you to use all your in fluence with her Majesty's Government, in order that they may grant a sum of money for our relief, without delay, as we fear that if left in our present position, disease, crime, and death will ensue. Gentlemen, we leave our case in your hands, in the full assurance that you will take immediate steps to have our distress alleviated. "It also appears from another part of the same return that in the years 1835, 1836, 1837,. and 1839, that potatoes and oatmeal to above the value of 6,8001. was given to rel'eve distress in cc: iuin its of Ireland, and that a farther sum of 1,8081. 2s. 2d. was also given from the public purse, for the employment of the desti tute in certain districts of Ireland. Admission free to the body of the Hall. Mr. FLEMING will give the Opening Address. SHROPSHIRE. 3d. " That as no portion of the said distribution of wearing apparel, shoes, stockings, blankets, rugs, &c., were sent to any part of Scotland, nor any oatmeal, or potatoes, or public money to employ those out of work and destitute in Scotland, their present claims for relief to Scotland may well be insisted on, and therefore this meeting hereby agrees to apply to her Majesty's Government, for such immediate supplies of all the above articles as can be spared for distribution among the destitute in this county— seeing that however great the destitution may have been in the towns of England to which the above enumerated articles were sent, that neither the inha bitants of those, nor the inhabitants of Ireland, could have greater need of national aid and assistance than many thousands now have in the several towns and localities already mentioned in the county of Renfrew. 4th, " That a copy of these resolutions he signed by the Chairman, and be transmitted to Sir James Graham, Chief Secretary of the Home Department, to be by him laid before her Majesty's Ministers." The Hon. Gentleman supported his resolutions in a speech of considerable spirit. Mr. 11PFEE seconded the motion.

Early in the Sp-ing Mr. Robins will endeavour to enlist the public attention by a very faithful announcement, which will necessarily enter more into particulars than the condensed statement that follows. It is accounted THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF GLOUCESTER SHIRE; at present it will suffice to observe that the Mansion and Offices (of the pure Bath Stone) were created at an expense exceeding One Hundred Thousand Pounds ; it is seated in the beauteous vale of Gloucester, and in A PARK LUXURIANT BEYOND DESCRIPTION, NOT YIELDING IN ITS NATURAL BEAUTY TO ANYTHING CONTEMPORANEOUS IN ENGLAND. IT EXTENDS TO FOURTEEN HUNDRED ACRES, AND IN WHICH THE WOODS AND THE WATERS are for ever contending for the supremacy ; and this, be it remembered, at a distance of only three hours and a-half ride from London, THE ESTATE EXTENDS FOUR MILES IN LENGTH, AND IS MORE THAN FIVE MILES BROAD, including Lots of first-rate Farms, with a tenantry quite un exceptionable.

FOR GRANTING IFE ASSURANCES, DEFERRED ANNUITIES, &c, No. 26, CORNHILL. Capital £500,000. Empowered by Special Act of Parliament. DIRECTORS. T. LAMIE MURRAY, _Esq., Chairman. Lord KELnuaziE said he was not satisfied in se conding the proposal of their Hon. Chairman so far as it went. He would recommend, at the same time, that the suggestion of an lion. Friend on the left of the chair, that a petition should be forwarded to her Majesty's Government to enforce that assess ment, should be acted upon. They had no power in the meantime to enforce such an assessment, and without that he was much afraid that they would find great difficulty in raising the sum proposed. He did not despair of seeing before long a well ar ranged system of emigration established ; but in the meantime there was no well arranged system, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred those who emi grated found themselves worse off than in their own country. He was of opinion, too, that notwithstand ing all the inconvenience and objection to a Poor-law in Scotland, it had become yearly of more necessity. Without specifying any direct means, he was for en forcing upon Government that they should provide an adequate support for the poor of Scotland. Before proceeding to any other business, they should first dis pose of the proposal of their Hon. Chairman. Mr. MAXWELL, jun., of Pollok, considered they should take up the question of a voluntary assess ment first. J. Elliotson, M. D., F. R. S. John Griffith Frith, Esq. Hunter Gordon, Esq. George Lungley, Esq. John Rawson, Esq. John Riddle Stodart, Esq. Clement Tabor, Esq. Joseph Thompson, Esq. . " Has the Corn-law done you no good ? " D—n the Corn-law! Nought does us good, man; we are all as bad as can be. " Well, since it has done you no good, and injured your customers so much that they cannot buy your cheese, should it not be repealed? " Nay, master, I cannot tell; but this I know, if town's folks cannot peay me more for my cheese, I must peay less rent." There is the element • of thought in these inarticu late growlings. If town's folk cannot " peay" high prices, farmers cannot " peay" high rents, is a conclu sion out of which will grow good argument. Farmers will listen now and talk ere long. Sir Robert Peel's position is far from being an en viable one. He has put down the Chartist leaders only to give impulse to the Sturge movement ; he has altered the Corn-law expressly to put dow n the League, and has only given it increased energy; he has al lowed the importation of salted beef and pork, and has thus, without satisfying the trading part of the community, alarmed the agricultural ; and he has tried to eke out a deficient revenue by the imposition of a new tax, odious alike to his friends and his op ponents. His has been the era of the great UNSET TLEMENT. He has set the stone a-rolling, and it is beyond his power to arrest its progress. We wish him joy of his position.—Manchester Times.

They are now on their way from Antwerp, and will be ar ranged for public inspection dining the week previous to the sale ; but, as a concluding remark, Mr. Robins is anxious to impress upon the collectors of ancient carved furniture, that the objects which he has so imperfectly described are not to be classed among the " modern antiquities" which deluge the market at the present time. They comprise a part of the pa trimonial possessions of the highly respectable vendor, and have remained during centuries in his family. Covent-garden, November. AUDITORS. Professor Wheatstone, F. R.

AND POLITICAL INFLUENCE EXTENDING OVER TWELVE HUNDRED INDEPENDENT YEOMEN. It is believed Mr. Robins has now set forth enough to incline all those who think with him that terra firma is the first security in the world, to give it their immediate and serious attention ; and since THE ADMIRABLE AND STATESMANLIKE MANNER SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., by vt bich has settled and put to rest for ever, the INTRICATE QUESTION OF THE CORN-BILL, there can now be no doubt in the minds even of those who were sceptical before, that land, the rental from which is now fixed upon an immoveable rock of safety, is preferable to Three per Cents., at a very unhealthy price. Mr. Robins will conclude by inviting such capitalists as are in search of the best investment extant, to give him personally the opportunity to explain the minutiae connected with the Woodehester property, which he has carefully surveyed, and consequently is competent to add considerably to this very im perfect representation to those who may do him the honour to make inquiry. The plan is just completed. Covent- Garden, November. NORFOLK-STREET, PARK-LANE.

The Land is principally pas ture, with a few thousand acres for corn and wine: it is admir ably adapted to depasture Sheep. and the Merino Wool is highly appreciated in England. fhe pasture is quite equal to fat beasts upon, and the wheat produced upon the arable lands is not to be surpassed at Mark-lane. There are Vineyards, and the Cape Wine is very fine. The Madras Cavalry are entirely supplied from the Cape, as well as the Mauritius and St. Helena. Slabberts Poort is a most improveable Estate, and in the hands of Englishmen, or more especially, a few FIRST-RATE SCOTCH FARMERS, would soon become invaluable. Its position is one of the first importance, being on the direct road to the frontier, and in a position where a profitable business might be carried on inde pendent of farming. It is near the forests of the Knysna and the ports of Massel Bay and River Knysna. The latter port will probably soon be opened by the completion of a projected road from Beaufort district to it. It is very eligible in many other respects; vessels of 400 tons burthen can enter at all times, and take cargoes on board four miles up the river. There are a great number of ENGLISH SHEEP FARMERS, with moderate capital, say from 1,000/. to 3,003/. each, who have, within the last two years, located themselves in the Colony ; and it is not a little gratifying to behold the fine flocks of well and cross-bred sheep, 30 abundantly scattered about; it is surprising to see how well the animals look—sheep as well as cattle. This is a convincing proof that the grazing qualities of the land are adapted for cattle as well as sheep. The wool flocks are fast increasing in all parts of the Colony, and, it is said, from the frontiers alone, ONE MILLION OF POUNDS, AT LEAST, WILL BE EXPORTED THIS YEAR, and a corresponding export from this end of the Colony. The Cape will eventually, and ere long, FORCE ITSELF INTO NOTICE, for the investment of capital and introduction of labour, in spite of any opposition. Emigration here, with moderate capital, must be certain and successful. THE NEW TARIFF IS A MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE, _ _ and the time of its introduction most apropos. The Colony will now export in large quantities Salt Provisions—Fat Oxen are procured there at 41., or 14d. per lb., the hide worth 20s. This is a brief outline of the advantages in perspective for men of character and small capital, and if they produce good references will have the Farms FREE FROM RENT THE FIRST YEAR, and then for seven years at ONE SHILLING PER ACRE PER ANNUM. The prospect is even more cheering than to Australia, where such rapid fortunes are being made. A printed Prospectus, giving an insight into all the capabi lities of this Property may be had, and principals will meet with great encouragement by application to Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent- G arden, London.

Saturday Post.) (Abridged from the Glasgow Thursday, a meeting of the Noblemen, Gentlemen, Justices of the Peace, &c., of the county of Renfrew, in compliance with the requisition of the .Lord- Lieutenant and the County Convener, to take into consideration the condition of the unemployed popu lation, with the view of devising means for their relief, was held in the hall of the County Buildings, Paisley, 1 at one o'clock. There was a large attendance of the gentlemen of the county at the hour of meeting. On the motion of Lord Kelburne, P. M. Stewart, Es q ., M.P., Vice-Lieutenant of the County, was called to the chair, who said, he would not detain them with any general remarks, but proceed to inform them that the Committee appointed at last meeting had met, and taken as well as they could, a v iew of the pressing distress of this county in its unemployed population, and had come to certain opinions which would now be laid before them by Sheriff Campbell. Sheriff CAMPBEL L , in laying before the meeting the Report of the Com m itt ee, i n f orme d them that these resolutions had not b een a d opted w ith o ut consider able discussion. Th e R eport showe d th a t the number of the unemployed in P a i s l ey was grea tly on the in crease, so much so, th a t w i t hi n the mon th 1,333 per sons had been added t o th e li st, w ith the prospect of an additional increase. That the ex p e nditure of the Relief Committee was i ncreased i n pro p or tion, a n d that notwithstanding the assist anc e they received from the London Committe e , th ey had an a l arm i ng defi ciency every week, whi c h t h ey requ i re d t o r aise b y local effort. Under these circumstances the Com mittee called upon the landed proprietors of the county to come forward on behalf of the destitute, and by a , voluntary assessment upon all description of fixed property within the county, to endeavour to preserve the lives of the une mp l oye d peo pl e . Aft er reading the Report, the Sheriff begged to add his own personal experience as a w i tness o f th e p reva ili ng distress during the last eight wee k s , i n con j unc ti on with his friend. the Chief Magistrate of Paisley. He had been brought in contact with labourers who had themwhich could not be ad equately d escr ib e d . Th ey been reduced to a state of starv a ti on an d painful dis fsrmomall daayndto day, but it was scarcely very precarious supply dealt sufficient to keep body and soul together, and what was to become of them hereaft er , depended altogether on what the county should res o l ve upon t o -d ay. Be fore resuming his seat, he dis tress,ssa, l out l g n t t o avery begged to call their atten tion to a letter which he held in his hand from the Honourable the Earl of Glasgow' expressing his sym pathy with the object of this meeting, and expressing a hope that they would not undertake too much, lest they should fail in their eftbrts ; nor too little, lest they overshoot their object. Mr. WALLACE, of Kelly, m.p., moved as an amend ment in the Report, that after the word Paisley, the towns of Greenock, Pollokshaws, Johnstone, a n d other places in the county, should be added. He moved this addition because the Report only refer re d to Paisley, and because it was desirable, as that Re port would go to the Government and the public, that the extent of the distress should be known. Provost BAIN, of Greenock, laid before the meet ing the following memorial :...... Unto the Noblemen, Commissioners of Supply, Justices of the Peace, and Magistrates of Towns in the shire of Renfrew, in general meeting assembled. The Memorial of the Unemployed in Greenock, consisting of Joiners, arpen ters,Engineers,Blacksmiths, and C abourers. lII.IIIIBLY SHOWETH, That we have been suffering privations to a fearful extent these many months past, through the want of employment. Thousands of our t ownsmen are sunk to the lowest depths of misery, being destitute of the common necessaries of life. In the month of March last, a census was taken of the unemployed in the town of Greenock, when no less than 900 able-bodied men, and upwards of 2,000 dependents, were enrolled in one day, and the destitution has been greatly on the in crease ever since that time. Thousands have had no thing to subsist on, but by the_ sale and pawning of their effects ; a great many others have been entirely depending on the Relief Committee up to the month of September in work at ls. p . e . r, day, f or six days in the week, ands ce that time MO'. whole living has been from the soup kitchen. In the month of March our worthy Provost and Magistrates, with a number of other benevolent gen tlemen of the town, got up subscripti ons for our re lief. On the 19th of October last, the subscriptions amounted to 3,4221. 18s. 6d. About that time the Relief Committee were under the necessity of relin quishing the work, and giving what they could in food from the soup kitchen, and that in small quantities, not exceeding one meal per day. From the 20th of September to the 20th of. October, they , y had on an average on their list about 2,880 persons and their i expenditure did not exceed 1701., which s not more than five-pence per week for each individual. At the same time they had not more than one-half of the unemployed in the town on their list, as the following 1 statement will show : On the 9 7th of October there was a second census of the unemployed taken, and the following is the re sult of the return from nine out of ten districts : Able bodied men, 1,304; of this number 829 were married, and had 1,962 children under twelve years of age, and 684 above twelve years of age, making a total f 4,849. Th e district from which no return was made was one of the worst, and a great many other places were missed, and many workmen have been paid off since that time ; many of those who are working, are only employed three days per week. • Your memorialists are fully Convinced that these Signed in name and by appointment of a meeting of the unemployed in Greenock, this fifth day of November, 1842 years. (Signed) JAMES BACK, Chairman. After reading the above, he said, in reference to th? memorial just read to them, he was sorry to say that he firmly believed the number of the unemployed in Greenock was greater than that stated in the memo rial. The number stated was 5,000 persons, but there was one district from which no return had been made, and they were not taken in account in this calcula tion. Prom the number drawing relief out of the funds, and from his knowledge of the fact that there were many of the unemployed living on the sale ofi their furniture and clothing, and who had hitherto kept back, but who were nevertheless suffering dis tress to a fearful extent, he could conceive the number exceeded 5,000 persons. And the number, he was afraid, would be speedily greatly increased; if the numbers continued to augment as they had done for the last six months, there was no saying to what they might in the end amount to. On 28th Sept. the num ber on the list was 551 families, or 2,492 individuals:; on sth of Oct. they had increased to 606 families, or 2,730 persons ; and the number yesterday was 742 families, or 3,302 persons. As to the amount of relief which the Committee dispensed to the sufferers, he might state that it went at the rate of 7.51. per week. That expenditure consisted of soup, bread, potatoes, and herrings, and nothing was given in money. Now, the extent to which that distribution went in reliev ing the distress of those depending on it was consi derably less than one penny per day to each individual. It might rather be said to amount to about 4-sths of a ld., and even with that limited distribution the Committee found they had gone beyond their means, and were in debt. With regard to their prospects fur the future, he might inform the meeting that they proposed to raise 1,5001. by voluntary assessment, and that sum, even were they capable of raising it, would do no more than continue them at the present rate of 4-sths of a ld., and would not enable them to give one farthing for clothes, fuel, or house rent during the in clement winter months, and he was sorry to say he had good reason to apprehend that the number of the destitute would go on increasing during the winter months. Every trade and department of business was in a state of the greatest depression, .and there was not the smallest symptom of progression. The total sums already raised in Greenock were as follows :—By voluntary contribution, 3,5601. If they added to this the sum expected, 1,500/., they would have a sum of .5,060/. Now, the assessment for the parochial poor this year was much larger than usual —it would amount to 5,8401. The sums added gave a total of 10,900/., say 11,0001., since the month of January last. That sum was equal to an assessment upon the entire rental in the town of no less than 3s. in the pound. As to anything to be expected from the town of Greenock by the proposed county assess ment, it was a delusion—it could not be expected. They had had their case repeatedly laid before the Go vernment, and without effect. They were, therefore, without the means of giving relief to the additional claims to come upon them, and he did not see how they were to get through the winter unless they got support in some shape or other. Dr. BURNS, in the name of the Presbytery of Paisley, as the present Moderator of that assembly, submitted a series of resolutions and other documents for their serious consideration, on the subject of the unemployed at Paisley, which had been adopted by them at a meeting held yesterday. The amount of relief given to each individual amounted to no more than the sum mentioned by the Provost of Greenock, viz., something less than one penny per day, or about fivepence per week. He impressed upon the gentle men present the importance of the facts and papers which he handed in, and concluded amidst the plaudits of the auditors. Mr. APFEE, of Langhouse, supported the memorial and statements of his friend the Provost of Greenock. Provost CORDET, of Pollokshaws, handed in a me morial from the unemployed of that town, complain ing of the severe distress, and showing that there was no visible means of relieving the increasing numbers of persons out of work and in destitution. The CHAIRMAN proposed the adoption of the Re port of the Relief Committee, in a short resolution. It was to the effect that the meeting agree to vote the sum of 1,5001., to be raised by voluntary assessment on the rental of the county, for the relief of the un employed, appoint a Committee to see the same pro perly appropriated, and approve at the same time of emigration on a proper and well-regulated system, as a means of ultimately relieving the country. In support of the motion, Mr. Stewart alluded to the im pressive statement of facts by Dr. Burns and the Provost of Greenock, and spoke of an ultimate appli cation to Government, as with it would rest the responsibility for the condition of the people. Mr. WALLACE, of Kelly, said—From what had been stated by his Hon. Friend the Chairman, be per ceived that it was proposed to consider the distress in two points of view, first, with regard to its immediate relief, and, second, an appeal to Government for more permanent and effectual aid. With regard to the first proposition in the resolution, he had nothing to object, but in regard to the second he was prepared to bring forward a series of resolutions for the purpose of bringing before this county, the country, and the Go vernment, the desperate state of the country. The resolutions were as follow : Ist. " That in consequence of want of employment in their trades and callings, there are at this time thousands of persons in absolute destitution, and this without any legal claim for relief on any partie s whatsoever, in each of the towns of Greenock and Paisley, as well as similar proportional numbers in Johnstone, Pollokshaws, and other smaller towns and villages in the county of Renfrew. Therefore, it is the opinion of this meeting that an immediate applica tion should be made to G overnment, to issuesuc such sums of public money 'as will be sufficient to give employment to those willing to work ; or, failing this, as will be sufficient to afford food, and such other aid in clothing and fuel as shall be necessary to preserve life. For which mo d es o f supporting the destitute with public money there are ample and abundant precedents in a Parliamentary Return, which had been moved for by Mr. Wallace, the Member for Greenock, and which return is now before this meeting, and is No. 577 of the last session ; and which shows that in the year 1826, 16,9601. IGs. sd. was gifted from the public purse, to those in distress, in consequence of want of employment ; the same Parliamentary Re turn shows that 15,0001. was advanced in the years 1826 and 1827, on account of distress among the operative manufacturers. Also, that 40,000/. was given in the years 1831 and 1832, for the employment the poor and the relief of distress in Ireland ; that in 1825 2,8161. 16s. Bd. was given for a similar pur pose : that in 1836 2,518/. Bs. ld. was given on ac count of the failure of crops in Ireland : that in 1837 1,044/. ss. Bd. was also given for the latter purpose ; that in 1837 6,729/. 12s. Bd. was given for the relief of the Highlands and Western Islands of Scotland : that in 1839 2,5011. 10s. sd. was given to relieve dis tress in the West of Ireland—also a further sum to Ireland of 3761. 12s. 3d.: and in 1842 that 5001. was advanced from the public purse for the relief of dis tress in Paisley; besides 125,321/. for the relief of distress occasioned by hurricanes, cholera, earth quakes, fevers, &c. &c., in the West Indies, the Me diterranean, and in England, Ireland, and Scotland. 2d. " It further appears, from another portion of the Parliamentary. Return already alluded to, that in the years 1826, 1830, and 1842, large quantities of wearing apparel, shoes, stockings, blankets, rugs, &c. were sent, at the public expense, from the Government Ordnance Stores, for the relief of the distressed inha bitants in the following towns in England, viz., Man chester, Padiham, Rochdale, Oldham, Skipton, Ash ton-under-Lyne, Blackburn, Bolton, Bradford, Burn ley, Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Stockport; also, to the Strangers' Friend Society, the Mendicity Society, Spitalfields Refuge for the Houseless Poor, and in I year, 1842, to the Spitalfield Weavers. The CHAIRMAN again read his resolution, and spoke at some length in favour of the question of emigra tion, and on the necessity for an adequate provision for the poor. Provost HENDERSON, of Paisley, previous to the question of the amount of assessment being fairly laid before the meeting, wished to put a question to the Provost of Greenock. It was to ascertain how much assistance they would require from the proposed assessment. Provost BAIN was not prepared to say how much they would require. 3001. a week he was satisfied would by no means give adequate relief to those out of employ. If it was understood that the proposed assessment was meant to apply to property in towns, he begged distinctly to inform them that it would be a complete and total failure in Greenock. Bailie SMITH showed that it would be quite imprac ticable so far as Paisley was concerned. He proved that proprietors were paying at the rate of 6s. Bd. in the pound of the rental they were at present receiv ing, and that it would be impossible for them to give anything additional. So far as the raising of 1,5001. was concerned, he considered that it would be a mere drop in the bucket in meeting the distress. Provost lIENDERSON explained that his reason for putting the question to Provost Bain, was to show that the sum proposed was far too little. He was the more convinced of this when he looked to the numbers of the unemployed. This week they had to provide for the increased number of 153 persons, and he was sure from the number of applicants that could not be put off, that by the next week the list would be greatly increased. They would require the sum of 5001. weekly for two months at least. Now, their as sessment of 1,5001., even were it raised, would only give one•fourth of the sum required for ten weeks, though the London Committee supplied all the rest, leaving nothing for Greenock, Pollokshaws, John stone, or Renfrew. H e b egge d t o remind them, at the same time, in connection with the proposed as sessment, that it would require as much machinery and expense, in the way of collection, as would raisa a much larger amount. They of the towns had no right, it was true, to dictate to the propri e t ors o f t h e landed property of the county; but this he could V. sure them, along with Bailie Smith and the Provost of Greenock, that nothing was to be expected from Paisley or the other towns. Lord KELDURNE said, after what had been said by his friend the Provost of Paisley, and the gentlemen from Greerocl: that the sum of 1,5001. w as qv t o in adequate, and that the expense of collection would be almost the same for a larger sum, he would propose 3,0001. as an ametidtrent. Mr. A LEA A 1 DEE, Of Southbar, opposed the proposal of Loyd Pe. Sir W. M. NAPIER was entirely of the opinion that even the stem of 3,000/. was no mo7e than a drop in the bucket towards meeting the impeniing distress, He reminded the mectins that they had elpended 22,0001. last year. Ile was of opinion the.t adcli.‘:on to their vote of 3,0001., which, after all, might not be raised, a deput,eoon should be sert off to Govei.'ment to lay the cordition of the people before them, and to demand immediate aid. Mr. MAXWELL would roe oppose the proposal for 3,000/. ac,er the arguments as to colleaton, &c., brought forward by Provost Henderson. It would be proper, he considered, to explain to the Govern ment the condi::on in which they were placal, and at the same t;tne it ()centred to him that if they assessed 3 0 , f 0 001. , 3,0001.7 themselves to the amount 0? 3,000/. wou4 the stthiraesuofm h c e ha m ir o m ti a o i n l gbae,i.regbipsult.o, voice e he f f o -e r tahpepemaorei c.lo—n,forbtihche stronger eviderce of the amount o f th e di s;fess. i m n o t t h io is n w f a o y r: mad e oo t / h ., em S — e I f u o o r t an Th l e ' was ultimately voted.

EOLINTOUN CASTLE, AYRSHIRE. — The Earl of Eglintoun, since his return from Newmarket, has been entertaining a party of sporting gentlemen. The Noble Earl, with Major Fairlie and Captain J. C. Fairlie, had a splendid day's shooting at Dundonald ; the Countess was also present, and seemed greatly to relish the enjoyments of the battue, in many instances lending her aid to dislodge the timid hare. Upwards of 150 head of game were killed. The beaters and others were treated to a plentiful pic-nic, by orders of the Noble Earl. Y - PARLIAMENTARY Bums.—On account of the great number of suicides a member of the House of Com- mons moved for,leave to bring in a Bill to make it a capital offence.. In May, 1784, a Bill introduced to limit the privilege of franking was sent from the Parliament of Ireland for the Royal appro bation. It contained a clause, " That should a Member be unable to write he might au thorise another person to frank for him, pro. vided that en the back of the letter so franked the Member gave a certificate under his hand of his inability to write!" In a Bill for pulling down the old Newgate in Dublin, and rebuilding it on the same spot, it was enacted, that " to prevent unnecessary ex pense the prisoners should remain in the old gaol till the new one was finished !" When Sir John Scott (the late Lord Eldon) brought in his Bill for re straining the liberty of the Press,' a Member w mo o v r e k d s as an additional clause that all anonymous should have the name of the author printed on the titlAeL,ust t pagel lNG ACCIDENT AT PEBAIARSII.

LEIGHTON BUZZARD.—en Saturday last a barn, situate in a close adjoining Leek-street, the property of Mrs. Mary Bushell, Swan Hotel, was set on fire. There not being any buildings near, or any thorough fare by the bain, the fire could not arise from any ac cident—Northampton Mercury. At about seven o'clock on Saturday night last, the sth of November, some person maliciously set fire to a stack of gorse standing in a field i n the parish of Billesdon, the property of Mr. Summers, farmer and baker of Billesden.—Northampton Mercury. On Saturday morning last, a haulm wall, forming a sheep-yard, in a field near the mill ditch, in the palish of Taversham ; and also a haulm stack adjoin ing the yard, the property of Mr. John Collett, were destroyed by fire. It is supposed to have been the act of an incendiary, and 15 guineas reward is offered for his detection.—Cambridge Independent Press. CHATTERIS.—Last Sunday evening, soon after six o'clock, a fire was discovered raging at the lower end of Chatteris, on the left of the road, near Ely, and on the premises of the Earl of Leicester. An immense pile of faggots and blocks of timber had been fired, and f:om all circumstances there can be no doubt that it was the act of some diabolical incendiary. At a late h6ur the fire was sufficiently got wider to allay all fears of further danger. We most sincerely hope that the parties, whoever they may be, will be dis covered, and meet the reward of their malignant conduct.—Cambridge Independent Press. BUSIIMEAD. —On Wednesday morning, between ten and eleven, a destructive fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Gray, farmer, Bushmead, near Eaton Socon, Bedfordshire, which consumed nine or ten stacks of barley, beans, and other corn, but by great exertions the wheat ricks, house, and farm buildings were preserved. The property is insured in the Sun Fire-office, and, we regret to say, was the work of some diabolical incendiary.—Cambridge Chronicle. BECCLES. — On the evening of Monday week another alarm was created in our town by the appear ance of fire, anda shed, situated in a meadow near the race-ground, was found bnining, and in a very short time destroyed. This being in a place where no ac cident could have caused the fire, leaves no doubt of its being the work of some vile hand.—lpswich Express. On Tuesday everi;ng, a large bay-rick, 15 tons, belonging to farmer J.-n:les Old, of Henley, near Buck land ewton, was destroyed by an incendiary ; and the same uigirt, a furze-rick, containing. about 1,600 faggots, was destroyed by fire at Piddietown.

It appears that some few days s i nce th e accused, h st a te d to have lately retu rne d f2om America, wenttoHarrow to visit a youth at the public school, to whom he had contrived to obtain an introduction from his father, who returned to England in the same vessel with him. On seeing the youth, he professed to he much attached to him, and invited him to spend a day or two at his residence in town, at the same time telling him that he would invite a youth to meet him from the Military College, Sandhurst. On the fol lowing morning the youth applied to one of the under masters for permission to do so, when :.nom some circumstances which transpired in the course of the interview, the y ou th was stLictly questio ned, when he madesome disclosures as to the conduct of the accused towards him, which induced the authorities of the school to lay the facts before Mr. Rotch, who issued a warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner, and he was taken into custody on Sunday, the 6th in which was was estx7mtinaOtionnthbeefllolreondi‘ajyr. fo ß l! o o t u e , h i, w h h e en ui i i l d e er went an committal re manded to New Prison, Clerk enwell.

Some time ego lle climbed a stalk at St. Rollox 190 feet in heisir" ~ t, and, a:;,ex performing some necessary operations on its summit, descended with the same ease he had manifested in going up. Wilson, who is an active little fellow, a native of Ireland, declares he would have no fear in mounting the highest steeple or stalk in the kingdom.—Glasgow Argus. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERL — At the conclusion of the lecture at the Polytechnic Hall, Falmouth, Mr. Robert Bunt, the Secretary, announeed th e dis covery by himself of a metallic plate which would receive, by mere contact, impressions of any printed page, an engraving, or the like. Thi s discovery was arrived at by following out the recent dis coveries of Moeser, that bodies were constantl making impressions upon each other in absolute y dark ness, by the agency, as he considered , of latent light, but which Mr. Hunt thinks he has certain proof of being latent heat. The impression received on the metal is at first invisible, but is readily brought out by the means of any vapour. Mr. Hunt e xh ibited some specimens of wood and copper-plate engravings, copied from the paper into the meta'. These copies exhibited every line of the original, and were far more distinct than any of the early Daguerreotypes. Mr. Hunt proposes to call this new art thermography.—. West Briton.
