Bremner, who petitioned' the Assembly against the refu sal of the Presbytery .of Gatti:it-m.li, to order-Mr. Gunn, the Minister of the parish of Watson, ND baptise his child. It was urged by Mr. Munro, for the Presbytery, that there were grounds for delaying the baptism until Itremna should submit to a rebuke from Mr. .Gunn. These grounds were, that he had kept a public-house, was a smuggler, -an enamirager of drunkenness, and a sower of irre )igious opinions. Mr. Ilandyside, Advocate for .the petitioner, maintained, that the keeping of a public house was no compe tent, reason for withholding church privileges; and that, aS to the other accusations, they were not true, and ought not to have. bees) acted upon unless proved. It was agreed, on the motion of Dr. Inglis., to remit the case to the - Rirk Session, with instruc tions to reake.theuecessary inquiries, to hear Bremner in his own defence, and.to decide tiitively that Mr. Gunn shall or :elsall not baptise the child." • ROYAL NAVY, &c.

We are happy to the arrival in England of Major Denham and Lieutenant - Claperton, who left-this' country e in the year 1821, on 'an exploratory journey into the in terior of Central .Africa, connected with ascertaining the ' source, course, and termination of the river Niger, which has. been an object of geOgrephical research more then two -thou- • sand years. Mungo Park, threw a more, full and decisive' light on this subject than ever. had been made to e.ptlear dur ing this long period; after penetrating through a variety of the kingdoms of Western and interior Africa, he came at length to Sego, the capital of Bamberra,, where he beheld " the long sought majestic Niger, glittering to 'the morn ing sun, as broad ae the Thames at Weetminetcr, -and flowing slowly to the eastward." then traced its course down wards to Silla, and upwards to Barnmakoo, (about a thousand, miles), where it first became aavigable, to am extent of 308 miles. This, however, - appeered - to be onlysa commencement of the career of this - mighty stream, leaving its subsequent . ...progr ess . involved in increasing mystery._ Jackson, Horne mann,. Turkey, Bowditein Ritchie, - Lyon, Laing, and now Denham -and Claperton, have all since, by their persevering efforts, contributed to cur previous mass of information, re-. specting the mos - celebrated of 'African - streams: Nye un derstand that Majoa Denham and "Mr. Claperton helve as certained with great . certainly, that Lake Tyad a great fresh water lake, having no outlet, and that it is fed by two large Rivers one at which, the Sliary, flows from the same chain of mountains in which the western branch of the Nile (otherwise the White Nile) takeh ThaShary tuna in a -direction nearly due north front its source to the Lake ; whilst it is ascertained that the other river called the Yao. enters . the lake as its N. W. aitle, flowing from the westward; but it is not a continuation of .the Jaliber, or Ricer of Tim buctoo. These travellers. confirm the account of the Mahone.: mcdan Priest, that, between Cano and Ny fTe, there is no river . • consmunicatio.n.—Ceno is in hit. 13 N: long. 9 E. and SUccatoo, which our adventurers sublecniently veined: is in 12 N. 3. E.A-This town is the capital of a great ration; or - Which we appear to haite had' zio.previctre information, though the King of the country (whose name is Belle) was much pleased with the appearanc:4 - of our countrymen, and, - to :their esarprise they saw his house . was furnished - with English crockery, which, it appeared, he had obtained in the way of traffic, with the inhabitants of tha Bight of Bean. He expeeseed . a hope, that a mode would-be found by which his subjects could trade with the English. His country appeared very productive and abounded with cattle. it further eppears by the informa tion collected by Messrs. Denham and Claperton, that the.Tim buatexi River runs B.E. to NvTe, then southernly, and empties itself into the Bight of Iftein, which ascertained fact is of -much importance, as it opens a communication with - the Atlan tic, and will greatly facilitate-the object intended to be pursued by Major Laing, in the course of the ensuing winter or the next spring. Whilst crossing the Desert our travellers were ..much distressed for provisions, yet they have happily ar rived home in telerahle health, having suffered less from the climate than any of their predeceSsors in this arduous enter prise. They were everywhere-Fell received by the natives, who -made them various presents, which are on their way to England from Malta. Among them are five live ostriches, and a beau• tiful horse for our King, presented to him by - one of the native Princes..s..(Hernpthire l'elegrap7r. ) EDINBUR.GIr, JUN- 4. • EIACTTCYN Or A Przit.--On Thursday the election of a Peer to sit in Parlianifnt, us one of the sixteen Re presentatives of the Scottish Nobility, took place at the Palace of Ilolyrood. • 'The Lord Provost and. Magistrates of this city were present , 'nod the Peers were attended by Sir NValter Scott, Bart. and Cohn Mackenzie, Xsq. two of the principal Clerks of Session,•as deputies of the Lord Clerk Reg,:.ster of. Scotland . Rev. Dr: Watt, one. of the Ministers of St. Andrew 's Church, 'and the Rev. Dr. Bryce, Minister of Aberdour, Deans of the . Chapel Royal, were the officiating Clergymen. •Dr.GRAN'T opened the bUsinesS with prayer, after which Sir Walter Scott called over the .Union roil. The following 277 - 6bleraen were . . PREst , . Earl - 9f. . Lord rorbes, Earl of Leven and Melville, Lord Elibank, • . - - 'Earl of Glasgow, 1.0r4 Rollo, • Viscount Strathallan, Lord Narrne. The following 'voted ,by•Srar.r-r.:3 LISTS. • Duke of Atlioll; Earl of Re;seberry, Earl of Moray, • Viscount-lien More, • • Erta of 'Collie, Arbothnot, 1441 of Eight, Lord - Gray,' Earl of A boyne, Lord Cathcart. • • •' - Ear: of Dunmore. The only prosy commission produced was-drat-of the Earl of Mar, authorising Lord Nairn_e to vOte for him ; along with which was tendered the' Noble Earl's-protes- against the place assigned to himon the 1611. • - - • Among the Peers present At this election was the Earl of Stirling, as above noticed; whose tide has for some years been dormant, having been Vested in the Countess of Stirling his Mother, who died 12th Sept. 1814: The Earl now, for the first • time, took his place among our ancient Mobility, and voted on this occasion. 'Mr; lIIAcKENitt stated that in cases where a claim was Made to a dormant title, the clerks conceived it their ditty to receive the votes of such claimants. He also- mentioned that a claim had been 'entered for the title of the Earl of Stirling in 17.81, by a descendant of the'nncle of the first Earl, but as the claimant was not then prepar'ed with his evidence, it vas speed not to permit him to vote. The present Earl, however, was in a different situation, 'be being the lineal - desce ndant •oft iefirst, Earl, consequently the clerks felt it their duty to receive his tote. Vote. Sir WALTER S C OTT then intimeted that twenty votes had been given as prescribed by law, and all in favour of Lord Stratliallan, whoin they were about to return to the High Court of Chancery accordingly as duly elected. ViScolint STrikr IfALLAN returned thanks to the Noblemen present-for the honour now-conferred upon him. • . . Tilt return having been-made up in presence of the Peers, the business was closed by prayer from Dr. Bryce. Ia the' afternoon Lord Strathailan entertained the other Noblemen and a large party of friends with an elegant dinner in the British Hotel. THE LONDON COLLEGE• On Saturday, about 120 of the Gentlemen who have taken, a principal interest in the formation of the Lon don College, or University,* assembled at the Crown -and Anchor Tavern, 'rho Meeting was not publicly convened, and was intended merely to put the parties in possession of the steps which had ahead); been taken for the promotion of their object. Mr. Haounn.Azt was in the Chain—Among the public cha racters who supported him were Lord John Russell, Mr. Aber croneby,- Mr.-John Smith, -Mr. Hunte, Mr: Hobhonse, Mr. John Williams, and some other Members of Parlianient. Mr. Gnrney and, several Gentlemen of the Bar were also present, together with a number- of Clergymen -of -the -Establielied • Church,- as well as -Dissenting 'Ministers. Mr. Howard, of Corby Castle, and some Country Gentlemen, attended ; and we also observed Dr. Birklieek, and many scientific persons.-.- Several mercantile characters also assisted in the proceedinge. Mr, Thomas Campbell sat at the foot of the table. - Met Bnoun Han Commenced the bueiness by stating, that it was deemed right by the promoters of the London College, to-convene a meeting.like the present, which was not to be con sidered as a publie one, 'but rather as a medium of cornmunie eating, to the Very' intelligent per Sons by whom he was .Stii rouncitd such information as lie had the power of giving, touch ing the object they had all in view. It was fresh in their recol lection, that many gentlemen of great weight anti influenCe in society had called the public attention to the necessity of-esta blishing for the 'great population of this metropolis a college, which woold comprehend all the leadirig advantages of the two great Universities, together With the domestic supervision of the parents; and at a rate of expence se economical as to bring the' benefits of the establishment within the reach of almost every class in •sockten Many private meetings of the gentlemen concerned in the new plan had taken place, t his chambers n int( anon those who had co-operated to promote the great objeet, :one gentle.man - present, -Mr. Thomas Camp bell, had been most active. In pursuance of the originanin tenth:inn ').) (Mrniltoughtem) had /rade an application to . two. Peottirient Gentlemen of his Majesty's Government—the Chancellor-of the Exchequer, and Mr. liteekisson— by way of Rounding there whether, in dee event of a formal application, being; transmitted fora Royal Charter to establish a town uni versity, theyewould afford hopes of its receiving their_ recom mendation. c These gentlemen, after an interval of ten days,- returned' In eineever, whicfnivae in subStanee, that if the appli cation fortnrch-a charter were made, they should not feel war ranted in recommending it to the favourable consideration of his Majesty: - This reply was, of course, deemed fatal to the first intention of Seeking a Royal Charter, and no formal ap plication was made on that point. - The next course-to be taken was to apply for a Bill in Parliament; and upon come-n-dea -1 tion with antes of his Majesty's Ministers, they replied, that as a Parliamentary 'Bill • would- not commit them in the manner in which they considered a charter •would, the same objections did not at first sight 'occur to' them upon it. In the expectation, therefore, that :the friends of the measure could pass a bill through 'the House of Commons at least, he had - given dile notice of and subsequently introduced such a measure; which was en the eve of receiving a second reading, when he received, List Friday morning, information from the. highest authority on such measures—the Speaker of the-House of . Commons—:-ihat certain forms . of Paniament (which were explained) required the intended measure to be introduced in the form one private, and not of a public bill. This infor mation coming froM such a quarter, was of course conclusive, and he had no alternative but that to which he resorted on Friday niht—nanielv, to take the necessary steps to comply with :the forms recniired in private bills • and the Speaker was kind enough to .mention, that he should have every foci- lity it was.in his power to afibrd in hastening his bill through the preliminary stages.. He - had taken the opportunity, as all inns: have seen who had read the - newspapers of that morn ing,. in moving to have .the ceder for the second reading of the e puhlic bill discharged, to explain what were the objects which the friends of education had at present in view, and also to correct several misrepresentations which had gone forth on the subject._ He had . eeplained that they. bad no idea of found.: ing fellowelOps, or - conferting degrees, or giving,. theolOgithl . education—that they only *anted to combine the rely:Menges of collegiate studies with the due domestic controul of the children by their own parents—that the three, vela branches of study which theireollege was intended to'coreptehend, *ere Science, literature, and the arts—that for each - of then the children were to pay only three guineas annually, in addition to one guinea general entrance money--that the professors were to have no" sinecures, nor residetices provided for them tzeon the establish.: merit ; nelewere' there to be any religieers tests or doctrinal . forms, which would oppose a harrier to the education of any, sect antong- his'. Mej subjects. And he -had 'also . Par ticularly dwelt or. the ettcantages for enedieel studies which such - a College vas calculated to afford. The Honourable Member 'then enumerated many of the details of his Bill" ' in Met teens ; in -, which. he had de,seribed them in the .House Of Corn-nuns en t`:2 praVioll3 evening, the number and divi sions Of, the Proflesers, the manner" of cOndiurting the disciplirie of _the College, dkc„; and added, that .nothin more was in, tenclerS at tine present rnectiNi than after redUctng this outline , , into ebeeetithig like it , tritte.n form, tio appoint a Committee to . ; '. revise and consider it, - not committing themselves in any -tieel gree by any tmecific proposition, but leaving the whole subject in all Its beattngA far more mature examination, When they had . ,aicerininedhow far they were likely to havelhe power of reti e : . lizing- their general intention.—( ilear, hear!) --They would - heir the ontlinieof the plan read, and the names of gentlemen suggested to compose their Committee e end any names coditi be i ;added from - those present which would meet the general . - concurree;e. . . Mr; Cox then Te.aci.the plan, eel generally desetibed ley Mr. Brotigham. - The capital intended foe the undertaking was estimated at 200,001,41., and the mode of raising it by trans ferable rhares:of I)Lia each. Upon thii proposition a long conversation sroee, in welch Mr. Campbell, Mr. Abercromby, Mr. liehhouse, Mr. Eunic e/ Mr. Brougham, Mr. Rutt, Mr. Gurney, and the Rev. Messrs.. Theme, Morriseon, Stylesnand -othergentlemen* took a part. 1 .'llie tepice touched upon related entirely to the executive; details of the 'plan, all being agreed upon the necessity. and 1 utility oldie establishment of a Metropolitan University, and I all avowing , tine:- readiness to take an *cline part in its for. mation. "But many onjected to saying one word about tests in their arrangemert, their -conviction being that nobody could - 1 for a moment assume that the conductors of so benevolent an establishment would interfere- in the slightest degree with the religious opinions of the students, which were to be left entirely to their parents; while others'( particularly the DiSsenting Cler gymen)contendeel,. that it.wera. better: the ruleshould remain, from its necessary tendency to sooth the feelings.or prejudices of sectaries who were disposed io facilitate the undertaking. The other principal topic of cc nvereation, awl which was very Warmly urged by several .Gentlemen n was an objection to the plan of ' shareholders altogether, freirri an opinion that the money, hoW_ ever large, would be obtained by voluntary subscription ; and many of the individuals declared that they.woeld prefer,and had come prepared unenee. to pi•tent donations, lather than to iv ,volve themselves in any system of :shareholding Mr. Broughton gave a satisfactory solution of the objections, by explaining that the introduction oldie power into the Bill for enablingthem •to rake the mousy' y shares MI only necessary in the event of their sanguine expectation of adequate voluntary subScriptions 'not being'reelized ; they had still the full authority of proced ingto lira , intoner extent' by private donations, though it was provident ttecontitict the -plan inasuch a manner s% to have,the i other alternative= .. ... - .: . . . .• - .:• .• ' A‘corntrtimee 0f35 was then appointed to digest the plan, and Votes of thanks:were:proposed to the individuals who-had been prominent iu the. undertaking; hut these were withdrawn, it-1 tieing tlie,geitefal- Opinion -that they had met for more essential ininincs*tiithrtfilferrnig lieutc ial cop:On:rents on each -other, and that-it 'would- I)e..tinl't - enougli s to return thanks when some - practiCal *Yost had been effected. At present they were only in the incipient-ntate - tif ttetia4,- and . had al/ the practical business still 'to perform:: - . 'Before - the meeting -adjourned, letters Were read from the Dukes - of Bedford and Norfolk, and a .number of public indi viduals connected with the carious classca of society. regretting their unavoidable absence from the meeting ; but tencteriug their co-operation in. any manner in which it should be deemed. 'useful in the establishment of the new College.—( The Time:.) Mr, O'CONNELL ling he.Pn honoured with what, no doubt, he at least considers as a triumphal entry into Dublin., He was in an op e n carriage, with Mrs. and the MisSes 0'C024-. :FELL, and Master O'CONNELL, about eight or nine years old, on a pony, with a servant in livery behind him. 'AIr.FITZ-, sikow was mounted on the dickey of Mr. O'CoNziti..z.'s carriage, - which , was preceded by a cavalcade, and - followed .by coaches: and jaunting-cars. When Mr. O'Cw.ratirot.l. arrived: at his house in Alerrion-square, he addressed the mob from the balcony, tilling them he had carried their grievances to the British. Parliament, and they had not been redressed. He talked of pitying the man who could not love such a people and such a •towntry, and of despising the man who would not die for her: Having got them to give hums for the " King," and "Old Ireland," he counselled them to reti.re in good hu mour, and the multitude quietly dispersed. • • GENERAL MlNA.—Extract of a Letter,. dated Pivmouth,.

Mr. Brougham, M.P., Mr. Sykes, M : P., Dr. Birkbeck,- 111 r. Zachari Lh Macaully, the Rev. AIL Irving, and several other personages, who take an active interest in the business of education. The attendance of ladies was very crowded, notwithstand ing the wetness of theclayb -On-the platform sat the Canadian Chiefs. The Noble MAncturs called the attention of the Meeting to the history and details of this Institution, upon which he prO_ nounced a warm eulogium, praising what had bean done, and calling their attention to what remained to be effected by the public voice and support. - Mr. JbsEPll.Witsotkr read the Report, which conveyed a flittering • picture of the success of the system which they had assembled to promote- 4 1'in object of this Society was, he said, to pro Mote the education and tractability of Infants of tender years, and the success which had hitherto attended the efforts of the promoters of it, in really astonishing ; nothing could be more interesting or gratifying than the appearance of those schools, in which a system of education, adapted to the tender capacities of these children (inarms) is carried on with, werei:eat, astonishing success, from the early ageof 18 months, tt pwards. The moral dis cipline of the Establishment is its chief merit, in preserving and rescuing from the idle habitsof the streets; children, whose parentS arc negligen' nr unable to rear theni with proper solicitude. The Report set forth the process of Education recommended by this Society, and stated the successful exPiTiments which gave - pro - . mise of the most -successful result. The Institution had, since last year, given assistance to similar societies,in different parts of 1 the country and the SecretargnaMed the various places where schools Were now established upon their excellent plan. The ' report also stoted, that the Lord Mayor of "London. together 'with the Bishops of London' and Exeter; had lately set on foot Infant schools for the City of London. Some description was also given, of the success of similar plans in America. The subscriptionfOr the past year' amounted to 1534/As.; but the want of ati adequate and capacious School-house was dwelt upon. The building intended to be erected would be expensive, and for the amount the Committee apPealed to the public ; and the co-operation of all was entreated for the benign purpose of educating the-infant children of the poor. . Mr. JOHN SMITH, in proposing a Resolution for the adop tion of this Report, lamented the absence of Mr. Brougham, who was detained by business in the Court of King's Bench. He-described the.number of Infant Schools . which had been formed during the last year, allattended by the constant con sequence, not only of the improvement of the children, but of their parents.—(flear !)—The plan .of the Society essentially required persons of excellent temper, to guide the manage ment cf wayward children of tender years; and they had most ly the duty of educating beforehand those who would in their turn educate others hereafter. He congratulated the Society upon having their object taken iip by the leading members of the State, some of whom were at first 'prejudiced against it, un ' der an impression of its Impracticability. Mr. SYKES. in seconding this motion, declared that he knew no Society More entitled to their patronage than the present.— At first he was one of-those who were prejudiced against the system, but when he afterwards saw children of 18 months and two years old, moving tractably together, and imbibing the elea ments of early education,' then he could no longer shut his eyes to the great merit and actual value of a plan so full of advan tage to society at large. He anticipated before long to see the youth Of this metropolis brought up in the paths of virtue, and dissipating before it the seeds of ignorance and vice, which of late so unfortunately deformed the surface of society. He gave an affecting instance of the appearance of a youth of eight years of age, at the bar of a Quarter sessions, who had committed fifty felonies in that. short career.. This child was totally devoid of education of any kind whatsoever, and might have been rescued from such crimes-by the means extended to deserted children, by such a Society as this.—(Hear !)—Pie believed similar instances were but too freq.ueat.in this great metropol'is.

Mr. BROUGHAM seconded the resolution:. It afforded him ! heartfelt satisfaction that the success of the Institution, in accom plishing its benevolent objects, was row established beyoad the pdsaibilitv of a dotibt ; and he rejoiced that even those by whom it was at first opposed—but opposed, he felt great satisfaction in . saying, with a moderation that was honourable to the charastefs •of those by whom that opposition was giyen, were now converts to its utility, and -themselves promoters of an Institution fin. the same laudable purpose. He had seen a Resolution propos ed by one Right Rev. Prelate, another Right Rev. Prelate in the Chair, for the establishment of en Institution•for the forma tion of Infant Schools.' He congratulated the Meeting on this great advance in the object they had all so much at heart. Ile was persuaded the very Learned Prelatea to - whom he had al luded, the Bialuips of Landon and Chester; could-not, if they were to live in this lower world 500 years, gender a greater sera vice to-the cause of religion and 'human happinese, nor *act in more perfect conformity:With their:etaered characters, as Over seers of the Christian Church; than .byafie early cultivation of the human mind. It was a Mistake.; that religion was to be ex. eluded from, the education of children, it was only desirable that they should not be puzzled with - mysoetfeaVeyond their compre hension, He agreed . perfectly in -. aan lied,beeii said by. his Bevereeed Friend, that it was, by persons directing their applica tion to local districts that they :would' Make the roost effectual I progress. - Dr. Chalmers' experience. ih'(ilasgow had fully de cided this point. Females had so math" Melte intereourse . than men with infants, that their exertions weae • - peetiliarly useful, ', eand he was happy to bear testimotig that . ' they had been most benevolenely be.stogied e and had. peculiar pleasure in seconding the resolution. Vile resolution Was put from the chair, and carried by acclamation. The Rev.

That it Walt expedient•l that a central school lie established, at which the instructors of .1 the children might learn from example, the beat means of per forming their duties. , Doctor Bs maser-ex seconded the. Resolution: Human hap piness might almost be summed up in the four words, "good health, and goodlgetamer ;"! and the discipline preserved in these schools was eminently calaulate.! to communicate to the child both those blessings. The Resaution was carried with applause. The Marquis of Liet4Dowee epologised 'for the necessity he was under of leaving the. meeting; and expressed his convic tions that the Institution was established on a foundation not to be shaken. • 14::: - .1mtici Smile we's called to the!
