We cannot suppose that this paragraph arose from any Malignant motive, as there cannot surely he any Person who wears the .human form capable of such wanton malignity ; but it has afforded new occasion to admire the Committee for the prompt ness with which it has attempted to obviate the consequences of so erroneous a statement. We Lope that our Countrymen, who have the means of benevolence, will not be contented with merely relieving temporary distress, hut rather endeavour, by the liberality of their contributions, , to esta blish a permanent foundation for sheltering dis tress, when the severity of the season or any other cause shall increase their number to such an extent as induced the benevolent mind of Mr. IficKs at first to offer his humane proposal, and the Gentlemen who so cordially adopted, and so laudably and promptly formed themselves into a Committee to carry it into effect.

SEDITION AND BLASPHEMY —This day the High Court of Justiciary met to proceed to the trial of Andrew Marshall, now or lately residing in Rot, ten-row, Glasgow, and Margaret Wright, his wife, accused of sedition and blasphemy, by circulating and distributing certain publications of a seditious and blasphemous nature, tendiug to produce in the minds of the people a spirit of insubordination and insurrection against the established Govern ment, and also tending to the malicious denial of the authority of the Holy Scriptures, and the troth of the Christian Religion. Neither .of the defendants appearing, sentence of outlawry was pronounced against them, and their bail bonds declared forfeited. The Loan A.DVOCATF. shortly stated his reasons for bringing these people to trial. They were very extensive circulators of the criminal publications of Richard Garble, bow under sentence of imprisonment in England, and in a short rime they bad sold no less than 16,930 copies of these publications, at so cheap a rare as not to amount altogether to the sum of 1401.

CHEAP SNIT!'. We have thought• it proper to re , publilt the following Receipt, which rudy be -considered as heoevolent contribution of the Gentleman to whom we are indebted for it, towards the relief of his suffering fellow -creatures, and who, we are assured, devoted a great p:►rtiou of his time to the Composition, in order to resider it agreeable to the palate 213 well as conducive to health : " Among the variety of schemes that have been" suggested for bettering thc condi - ion of the Poor, a more useful or extensive Chirity cannot be de vised, than that of instructing them in Economi cal Cookery. The best and cheapest method of mr.kiog a noutishing Soup—is :east litir! , ,vo to those who have most need of it—it will enable those who have small incomes and large families--no make the most of whatever they possess without pinch , ing their children of that v.-holt-some notilishrot-nt which is 'necessary, for the purpose of reaming them up to inatmity in health and sareng.h. The labouring classes seldom purchase what are called the coarser pieces of meat, because they do not know how to dress them, trot lay out their motley in pieces for roasting, &c., of \lbid. the bones, &c. enhance the price of the actual meat to nearly a shilling per pound. This, for the sake of saving time, trouble, and fire, is generally sent to an oven to be Iniket4, the nourishing parts are evaporated and dried up, and ail that a poor man can afford to purchase with his week's earnings, perhaps does not half satisfy the appetites of nim self and lamily for a coupe of days. It . a hard working man cannot get a comfortable meal at home, he soon finds the way to the public-house, the woman contents herself with tea and bread and butter, and the children are little better than starved, The following Receipt how to make a cheap, nutritive, and palateable Soup, fully adequate to satisfy appetite, and support strength, will open a new source to those benevolent bousekeepets, who are disposed to relieve the Poor, and will slew the industrious classes how much they have it in their power to assist themselves, and rescue them from being objects of Charity dependent on the precations bounty of others, by teaching them how they may obtain a comparatively cheap, abundant, salubrious, and agreeable aliment for themselves and families for FIVB PENCE PER Gat-LoN—(for various " Economical flans for Domestic Comfort," see The Cook's Oracle ) Distributing Soup does not answer halt so well as teaching P e opl e how in wake it, and improve their comfort at home, as the time lost in waiiing at the Soup House is seldom less than three hours ; iu which rime, by any industrious occupiiion, however poorly paid, they could earn more money, than the quart of Soup is worth. RECEIPT TO MAKE A GALLON OF BARLEY SOUP. Put four ounces of Scotch barley (previously washed in cold water) and tour ounces of shced onions, into five quarts of water ; boil gently for one hour, and pour it into a pan., and then put into the saucepan two ounces of clean beef or Mutton drippings, or melted suet, or three ounces of fat bacon minced; when nicked stir into it font ounces of ()Anneal., rub these together till you make a paste (it this be properly managed, the whole of the fat will combine with the barley broth, and not a particle appear on the surface to offend the must delicate stomach,) now add the Marley broth, at first a spoonful at a time, and then the rest, stirring it Well iogether till it hods. Then, to season it, pat a drachm of bruised cde r y seed, and a quarter of a drachm of Cayenne, or a drachm 2,m1 a half 'of ground black pepper or all- spice, into a tea cup, and mix it up with a little of the soup, and then pour it into the rest, stir it thoroughly together, and Jet; it boil a quarter of an hour longer, and it is teady. it will be much imptored, if irivead of water , it he made with the liquor meat has been boiled in; at tripe, cow-heel., and cook-shops, this may be haul for little or nothing. This Soup has the - advantage of being► very easily and very soon made, with no more fuel than is necessary to warm a room—and those who have not tasted it, cannot imagine what , a savoury and satisfying meal is produced by the combi nation of these cheap and homely ingredients.- 11 the generally received opinion be true, that animal and vegetable foods afford nourishment in propor►ion to the quantity of oil, jelly, and mucilage that can be extracted from them, this Soup has strong claims to the attention of Ra tional Economists." *** We have partaken of this Soup, and found it to be pleasant, nutritious, and fit for any table.

EntTon—Giving every credit to the pro.. maters of the Bill before Parliament, respeceioe these Gentlemen, and with every wish Or:it something of ihe kind may be settled, I fear is Will not pass into a Law. It is tot) general, anti not sufficiently explanatory, nor does it desclibe who is, or what ought to be a Co4veyancer, lu one sense, it embraces too Innen, and in another too little.. In a sweeping clause it proposes, that none except Serjeaws at Law and Bairistets, At tornies and Solicitors, shall practice as Convey ancers. Now, Sir, it is well known that the latter of these characters cannot do o ithoot the former. 'ln the course of their business, which is to prosecute and defend suits, to which they are educated, and regularly admitted by the Courts, they require assistance in Law, which is neither their study nor profission. This they require of those who confine their employ to Common assurances of real and personal propeity, and as they find these sufficient, it is nothing to C.em, whether or not they are clothed with the ordinary formalities. It is ability in Law Learning they seek, and not a coif or " a gown, which cannot give it. Many , men there are who wear neither, but are deeply read in the science. It is admitted, that the majority have too long been of a contrary descrip7ion, which no formali ties can ever make otherwise. These should he excluded, but hoW is the difficulty. They arose on the fall of the ancient Scriveners, who wtqe a legitimate corporation, and they assume the name of Conveyancers without its competence. The Scriveners, whose business was procuring and lend• ing money, never went out of their depth, but when they wanted the pen of a L twyer to draw or settle their Deeds, they applied to into, as the Attornies do at present, and did not trust them selves to do what they ,knew nothieg of; but for some years their negociatic ns hate fallen into the bands of pretenders, called .money brokers, for the convenience of occasionally slipping into the Gazette, told doing abundant mischief. These Quacks of modern times have been en conraged in their obtrusion, by the annual duties imposed by Statute on the regular bred Attor nies, and •a Certificate of a Law Sociehy that they are Members thereof, nut fur the pnipose of going to the Bar, but to practice as Con'seyancets, with out any regard to their abili.ies. This is the source of the error, to which correction should be de voted, and which would render the proposed Law unnecessary. Stop he B,;ncher's and Stamp Office Certificates against all Applicants but Attornies and Solicitors, and the ohject ref this Bill will be obtained. It will affect the Revenue very little ; so little that it ought: to give way for a greater good. Regulation is demanded ; hut while it se cotes legitimate practims from the iguorance and intrusion of mere empities, let i t not cut oil the well-informed Lawyer, who, though neither a Serjeant or a Barrister, is of undoubted service to the sattornies and Solicitors at large,. Should the Bill go into a Committee, many amendments may be proposed. To this end, Sir, I send you these thoughts, in addition to the many you have obligingly published on the subject, under the sig:ature of AN OLD JJAIUUSTER.
