SCOT, MINISTERS' STITEND IN EDINEURCIL-An application was made on Monday to Baillie Paterson by the solicitor of Mr. Ewart, now imprisoned for refusing to pay the annuity tax, for an order to liberate Mr. Ewart, on the ground that his life was in imminent danger by his con finement in gaol. Mr. Evart produced a certificate, by Dr. Walker, to this effect. Mr. Inglis, agent to the clergy, objected to Dr. Walker's certificate, on the ground that Dr. W. was also due in an arrear of stipend. Baillie Paterson said the certificate was sufficient, unless a special objection was made oa the merits of the caee. The objection was made, and Sir G. Bal lingat Was names to inquire into the merits. The case was then adjouttrerd. Mr. Ewart's solicitor bitterly com plained of this delay, stating that Mr. Ewart, wbo was suffering from sea ere indisposition, was an old man, anti the Conrt ought not to allow him to run the risk of an other day's confinement. The clergy's agent said if Ewart would give ttp his effects, he might be instantly liberated. On Wednesday the case came again before the magistrates, when it was stated that Sir G. Bellingal was out of town, and that a certificate imd been obtained from Mr. Liston, certifying that Ewart bad no complaint what ever. After much discussion, the magistrates said that both certificates were from respectable gentlemen, and the only mode was to employ another. The case was then adjourned..--- Scotsman. (No. 12,791.)

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 7.—The Salamander steam frigate, Commander Austin, arrived this morning from Sheerness; she has been to the Humber, and conveyed the Salsette to Sheerness, which ship was employed in the quarantine service. The Salsette it is reported will he converted into a troop ship. The Philomel was the only man-of-war in commission when the Salamander left Sheerness. The Philomel, 18, Commander Smith (b), arrived at Sheerness, Saturday se'nnight, from the Mediterranean, her time of service having expired. The Philomel has for the last eighteen months been protecting the British interests off Gibraltar. She is waiting her orders to be paid off into ordinary. The Cruizer, 16, has been commissioned at Sheerness by Commander James Barrow, son of the Secretary to the Admiralty. The Forester, four-gun brig, will be commissioned next week by Lieut. G. G. Aliall for the coast of Africa. The Lynx, 10, was launched from this dockyard on Monday; she is to be commanded by a Lieutenant, and will be commissioned during the ensuing week. Captain J. Hayes, C. 8., is ordered to construct a frigate on his own system of ship-building. She is to mot: nt thirty.six 32-pounders, to have the slum masts and yards as the Castor, to carry 300 men, and five months' provisio❑ under hatches, with 150 tons of water. She will he built in this yard. The three-decker, to be named the Royal Frederick, and to mount 120 guns, is ordered to be laid down in this yard. She will be one foot shorter, and four feet more beam than the Neptune. When launched, we understand, there is no dock in England in which she can be coppered. Her extreme breadth is to be 60 feet. Some complaint having been made to the Admiralty from the seamen of the Atria, surveying ship, a Court of Inquiry was held on board of her on Thursday last, and on the report to the Admiralty an order was issued that afternoon to pay her off forthwith.

It is a horrible superstition in the South of Ireland, that the left band of a corpse, if dipped into the churn, will make the cream produce considerably more butter, and of a richer and better kind, than it would otherwise have done. "In the year 1816,1 saw a woman, who had been apprehended and taken into custody, on a charge of raising cream' by means of a dead man's hand ; and two hands in a shocking state of putrefaction were exhibited in evidence of the fact. It was after wards, however, proved that these hands had been con veyed into the dairy by some persons who wished to injure the poor woman." But the circumstance was sufficient to prove the existence of the superstition, which then became a general subject of conversation in the neigh bourhood where it occurred.—Mirror. A QUEER FISH.—Some time ago, a young man, a native of New Luce, set out for a day's fishing in the water of Luce, where he was pretty successful, and, in course of the day's sport, caught a very dark-coloured (or rather we should say, a black) trout, weighing between one and two pounds. After returning to New Luce, he gave the trout to the servant of a friend to fry for break fast next morning. When the hour of breakfast arrived, the trout was served up ; but on dissecting him, it was discovered that a fish of rather a different species was contained within him—an adder of considerable size, finely speckled, and in full preservation, being found in the trout's stomach, a circumstance which had the effect of suddenly turning the stomachs of all present now and for ever against this species of fish.-. Glasgow Paper. The movements of the Duchess de Berri are, it would seem, closely watched by this Government. You are aware that she had left Naples for Rome, and that both she and her friends about her bad given out that Prague was the place of her destination. Now, it was well known to the members of the French Government, that the terms on which the Duchess stood with her proscribed relatives at Prague were by no means such as to make it probable that she would be induced to visit them. There was even rea son to believe that Charles X. had more than once intimated his wish to her that she would not think of repairing to Prague during his stay in that place. Whether M. de Chateaubriand succeeded, in his late ,journey to that place, in appeasing the anger which the exiled King feels against his daughter-in-law, is a point which has not perhaps been quite ascertained ; hut it is probable that he did not, and the Duchess is now directing her course towards Massa, the very place where she had formerly concerted her memo rable scheme of effecting her landing in France, in order that she might cause her son to he proclaimed King, and herself Regent during his minority. The adoption of every means whereby the repetition of such an enterprise might be prevented has been deemed, at all events, a pru dent course by the French Government, and orders have been transmitted to Toulon that a ship of war shouhl be immediately despatched to the waters of Leghorn, for the purpose of keeping an eye on the motions of the Duchess and tier friends, and stopping without hesitation all coast ing vessels of a suspicious description, or having on board suspicious persons. Secret agents have also been sent to watch the movements of the Duchess, and instructions have been transmitted to all the French Consuls on the coast where she might embark, so that the authorities in France may he better prepared to receive her, should she really think of landing in France again, than they happened to be last year. M. de Cbateauhriand is gone to Rome to meet the Duchess, and if he really is able to exercise any influence over her actions, there is reason to believe that he will induce her to give up all thoughts of embarking in so extravagant and hopeless an enterprise as that of effecting a second landing in France. But if she was mad enough to think of it seriously, it is to he feared that she will not have enough sense to listen to his wholesome advice. The German papers, and among them the most accre dited orga❑ of the members of the Holy Alliance, the Augsburg Gazette, have been amusing the world, for the last three months, with statements relating to a Congress, to be held sometimes at Toplitz, at other times at Troppau, and then in some place of Germany not yet exactly fixed upon. The late meeting of the Emperor of Austria with the King of Prussia at Theresenstadt, and now that of the Emperor of Russia with the King of Prussia at or near Stettin, have formed the grounds on which the German journalists have speculated so largely on what might be intended and what might take place. No political meeting, however, having the character of a Congress, has been or is contemplated by any of the Powers of Europe. The three members of the Holy Alliance may indeed Inca for the purpose of conspiring against the liberties of Europe, and the freedom of man kind ; but the total separation of England and France from that iniquitous confederacy, to which they were formerly to a certain extent parties, has destroyed the mania about congresses ; for, as no questions of general interest to the Powers of Europe, besides the Belgian ques tion, for which there is a " Conference" already provided, offer themselves for discussion, the three despotic Powers of Europe can have no motive for wishing that a general meet ing take place, but to propose measures destructive of the liberty that some states already enjoy, and detrimental to the prospects that others have of acquiring it. England and France can, of course, be no parties to any congress having any such object in view. The reign of the Tories is at an end, and the tools of the restoration have been crushed for ever. An alliance between the people of the two countries has, in a manner, sprung up of itself. It is founded on a community of political and other interests, and it can gain nothing from consultations with, and pro posed by, those who are alarmed at its existence, and would labour hard for its destruction. Without the par ticipation of England and France, no meeting could, under the denomination of a Congress, be held by the Powers of Europe in times like the present, of general peace and tranquillity. All the assertions of the German papers are, therefore, built upon mere vague conjecture, and for a time at least they may require notice only for the purpose of their being contradicted. In our political circles fears have begun to be enter tained that the King of Holland is again endeavouring to impede the labours of the Conference, with the view of finding money and grounds of justification for renewing the war with Belgium. In quarters wbere the best in formation on this subject is possessed, it is believed that such is really his intention, and that he will lose no time in applying to the States-General, at their approaching meet ing, fur their aid in executing that intention. The prices of the funds have varied a good deal to-day, but nothing of importance occurred at the Bourse. The Miguelite scrip is quoted at 54. Extract of a letter of the 25th ult. from Ancona : " To day's post brings accounts of fresh disturbances be tween the Swiss soldiers and the centurions having broken out of Lugo. Some were killed on both sides, but the people remained neutral. It is also reported that there has been a contest at Bologna between the Austrian troops and the populace, in which an Austrian officer and 20 of his men perished. An express was immediately sent off to Ferrara, whence a squadron of cavalry arrived without delay, and attacked the people indiscriminately, making great havoc. It was also rumoured at Macerata that there had been disputes at Zamboni between the centurions and the troops, in which four soldiers lost their lives." FRENCH FUNDS.—PAnts, SEPT. 7.

CHERBOURG, SETT. 3.-Yesterday during the whole of the time the King and the Royal Family were out, the weather was fair, but in the evening it became cold and rainy. Today it was not more favourable, About 11 o'clock, however, the King and Queen, Madame Adelaide, the Duke de Nemours, and the Princesses Mary and Cle mentine, accompanied by Marshal Soult, Admiral de Rigny, Marshal Gerard, the Maritime Prefect, and Count d'Harcourt, embarked on board the Sphynx, and proceeded to visit the fleet moored in the roadstead. On the ap proach of his Majesty every ship fired a royal salute, and as the Spbynx passed each of them, shouts of " Vice le Rui !" were uttered with enthusiasm. Although the weather had become very rough, and the sea ran high,ren tiering it extremely unpleasant to traverse, the King and Queen, Mad. Adelaide, and the Duke de Nernours, at tended by several officers, got into a boat and went on board the Admiral's ship the Atalante, where the Royal party was received with a general cheer from the whole crew On quitting the Atalante, the King visited the yacht of the Commodore, to whom his Majesty presented a snuff-box enriched with diamonds. The Royal party having rejoined the Spbynx, returned to the port. During the time the King was on the water, the English yachts were under sail, running frequently alongside the Sphynx, and saluting her with their guns and cheers from those on board. On landing his Majesty visited the establishments in the Dockyards, including the foundry, where the men were at full work, and the ropeyard, when he inspected the twisting of an immense cable fur the Jupiter. His Majesty expressed his entire satisfaction at every thing he saw. The King remained a long time in Fort du Hornet, whence he had an extensive view of the whole roadstead, and the entirety of the works completed, and the situation of those protected, and examined very mi nutely, with Admiral de Rigny, all the plans. At five o'clock the King returned to the Prefecture. The guests invited to dine with his Majesty amounted to 100 ; among whom were the Captains and First Lieu tenants of all the French ships, the officers of the English navy, and all the personages of distinction we have already named, to whom we have to add Lord Belfast and Lord Crofton. In the evening a great number of English ladies were pre , ented to the Queen. At ten o'clock their MajPsties went to the ball, which was got up at the esta blishment of the baths, and wa , estreme!y elegant. The Prince and Princesses joined in the dance till 11 o'clock, when the Royal party retired, as they entered, amidst the loyal acclamations of the company. A letter from Caen says the nohili , y are deserting that town. There are scarcely six noble families that have not obeyed the orders of the Legitimatist Committee of Paris, to ab s tai n from appearing upon the King's visit ; but the merchants, shopkeepers, and other classes, will not be wanting to his Majesty, and it may he affirmed with truth that there will be more than 100,000 souls in the town on the 6th and 7th. This morning the King visited the various manufactories of the town, and the Maine Hospital and barracks, at each of which he left tokens of his munificence. He like wise sent pecuniary relief to the willows of two pilots who were lost this morning in attempting to go out to the roadstead. His Majesty wished to go out to sea again him self, but it was found to he impossible, and thus was ex tinguished all hopes of the naval review which bad been looked forward to with so much interest. They were totally destroyed by a gale from the north, which succeeded that of the south-west, and preventng all communication with the ships in the roadstead. All the yachts were obliged to take refuge in the harbour, and the ships outside were compelled to strike their topmasts. The King afterwards visited Fort Kerkeville, and held a very long and interesting discussion on the various plans for combining the land and sea defences of Cherbourg, which was continued when, on returning to the Arsenal, the Xing found a model in relief of Cher bourg and its environs. His Majesty, who, during the whole of the morning, was accompanied by the Duke de Nemours, the Prince de Joinville, Marshal Soult, Ad miral de Rigny, Marshal Gerard, and other officers of rank, afterwards went to the quarters of the crews of the line, who, in his presence, suspended a number of ham mocks, in which his Majesty desired soldiers to place themselves, in order that his Ministers and officers might decide upon the propriety of adopting the use of them in the barracks of the land forces. During his short visit to the hospital his Majesty gave a reward to a sailor who distinguished himself by his intrepidity on the oc• casion of the wreck of the Resolue. The King has also conferred a gold medal on the Mayor of Fremainville, who, on the same event, hastened in his boat to render his personal assistance. At the close of his morning's ex cursions the King rode round the great basin of the port, surrounded by an immense crowd, uttering repeated shouts of Vine le Roil it is half-past seven o'clock, and the King and Royal Family have only just sat down to din ner. His Majesty will leave us to-morrow morning at ten o'clock. Admiral de Rigny will remain at Cherbourg till after the Queen's departure, and will then join the King at Caen. It is said that the King, previous to his departure for Cherbourg, gave orders to restore on all the buildings de pendent on the Civil List, such as the Tuileries, the Louvre, Versaill s, Sr. Cloud, Compeigne, and Fontain bleau, the cyphers and monograms of Napoleon, which were effaced by the Restorat - on. The bust of the late ex- Emperor, removed from the pediment of the colonnade of the Louvre, is to resume its former place, which is now filled by the figure of Louis XIV. with an enormous wig. SPAIN. (From the Morning Herald Private Correspondence.) Mariana, AUG. 29.—M. Zea Bermudez's situation since the publication of the conduct of Cordova, our Plenipoten tiary Minister at the Court of Don Miguel, and the triumph of Donna Alaria's arms, is exceedingly critical, and his dismissal appears certain, for the Queen insists more strongly than ever on the necessity of forming an alliance with'France and England ; the more so as she is aware of Russia and Austria favouring the pretensions of Charles V., and that M. Severino Gomez, agent of Dan Miguel, and the writer of the intercepted letters, is the private secretary of the Princess of Negra, and the chief of the Carlist faction at Madrid. M. Severino Gomez being in constant communication with M. Zea and the Ambas sadors of the Absolute Powers, there remains little doubt that they are in connivance to proclaim Charles V. at the death of Ferdinand. M. Zea is assembling the Cortes for the insignificant ceremony of the Jura, merely copying AI. de Calomarde, who, the better to concert his projects, promulgated the anti-salique law. The cholera has broken out at Huelvas, a small sea port of Andalusia, near Ayamonta, on the frontier of Portugal. The place was, it is said, instantly surrounded by a cordo❑ of troops, and all intercourse cut off with the neighbouring country, Two couriers have just arrived in Madrid, the one from Andalusia, stating, as is reported, that the cholera had manifested itself in Seville ; and the other from Por tugal, announcing the complete defeat of Don Miguel's forces. This intelligence has circulated during the whole of this day, and appears to be generally credited. It has spread considerable eloom at the Palace, but the account from Seville created a sort of panic in the Court, and a council was immediately held, to decide whether it were not advisable for the King to remove to Barcelona or Saragoza. Another courier arrived yesterday from Bada joz, but nothing had transpired respecting his despatches. It was near Buitrago that the courier of the British embassy was stopped and robbed of his money, and of one of his three despatches. We are informed that on the return of his secretary, who had repaired to the place, the Charge d'Affaires wrote a very spirited letter to M. Zea on the subject, remarking to him that such an occur rence could only take place among the savages of Africa, and that the like never happened even in Turkey, where the rights of nations were held sacred. The result of this application was, that M. Zea delivered a message to the Minister of the Interior, who, on his part, advised the Superintendent-General of the Police to investigate the matter. To day a sergeant of the Royal Guard, who lately rota dered a lady and her seivant, was executed. It is sfid that the unfortunate wretch, previous to his executieli, revealed the existence of a conspiracy, which no one believes, but which, nevertheless, led to the arrest of several persons. To day two other culprits were put into the chapel to prepare for execution, which is to take place after to morrow. They have been imprisoned for the last ten years, and were at last capitally convicted. The roads in Andalusia are no longer safe for travellers. Armed bands rc,b all those they meet, and at their head are men who have already obtained the King's pardon. It is reported that the garrison of Oporto lately made a sc. - ,tie, and, after a vigorous attack, carried the intrench tnents of the besieging army, and destroyed all their works. It is added that General Clouet. having attempted to re sume his lost position, and not being seconded by a Colonel, who withdrew from the field of action with his regiment, his failure was followed by a considerable re laxation of the rules of discipline, attended by numerous desertions. The following is an extract from the Madrid Gazette o f the 29th :—... The King has issued a Royal Decree, ordering sani tary measures to be instantly taken, in order to prevent the cholera extending beyond Huelvas." MADRID, AUG. 29.—1 n regard to the King's health, we are informed to-day that his Majesty is better, and not only able to stand up, but even to walk a little. The Queen, whose constant attendance on him had confined her a long time to the Palace, has been advised by the phy sicians to take some active exercise for the preservation of her health, and to check her increasing tendency to embon point. She accordingly makes short excursions almost daily to the Casa de Campo, which is about a mile from town, where, with a few attendants, she amuses herself by shoot ing, and has already killed with her own hands a quantity of small game. It is also said that, from an apprehension of being seized by the cholera in Portugal, the Infant Don Carlos has ap plied for admission into Spain. The accounts here from Portugal reach to the 23d inst. By a letter from Almeida of the 21st, we are in formed of the attack made by the garrison of Oporto on the posts of the north and south of the Douro, the result of which appears to have been (for the facts are very vaguely stated), that Don Miguel's troops abandoned the posts after suffering a considerable loss. Gen. Bantaleon, one of the Miguelite officers, who commanded on the occasion, was dismissed from the service for some miscon duct. The Correo do Porto, published in Coimbra, sa y s , under date of the 16th, that Don Miguel had left that place for Leira, where he would arrive on that day ; and that after being joined by some reinforcements that He had appoint e d G en . B ourmont Mi n i ster o f War, and , he would continue his march upon Lisbon. were expected bad made several promotions in the army. WINDSOR, SEPT. 7. Yesterday afternoon the Duke of ARGYLL, Lord EL rHiNsToNE, Colonel CAVENDISH, Sir HENRY WHEAT LEY, and Colonel WoormEn, arrived at the Castle, and had the honour of dining and passing the evening with their MAJESTIES. Yesterday the Duke of ARGYLL was invested by his MAJESTY with the Order of the Bath. His MAJESTY also presented the Duke with his warrant of office as Lord Steward of the Household. This morning the KING and QUEEN, with their Royal visiters, and many of the Household, attended Divine Service in the Private chainl of the Castle. The Rev. ISAAC GOSSETT officiated, and prer,.lhed an exceedingly impressive and eloquent discourse from the 24th chapter of Proverbs, verse 21—" Fear thou the Lord and the King." In the afternoon his MAJESTY rode out in a close car riage, and was accompanied by the Duchess of GLOUCES TER and Lady BINGHAM. Her MAJESTY did not leave the Castle. This morning ber Royal Highness the Princess Au• GusTa and the Ladies CORNWALLIS lunched at the Castle with their MAJESTIES. This evening their MAJESTIES will entertain their Royal visiters at dinner in St. George's Hall ; the Rev. I. Gos- Err, and several of the Nobility and Gentry in the neigh. bourhood are expected to be present, and many of the offi cers o❑ duty here. The Coronation gold service of GEORGE the Fourth will be used on the occasion-60 covers will be laid. In the early part of the week the young Queen of POR TUGAL, with the Duchess of LRAGANZA, and suite, are expected to arrive at the Castle, on a visit to their MA• JESTIES. On Welnesday his MAJESTY will go to St. James's, to hold a Council. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. ECCLESIASTICAL PREFERMENTS. The Rev. John Ball, B.D. Fellow of St. John's Col lege, has been appointed by the President and Fellows of that Society to the Vicarage of St. Giles's, in this city. The Rev. T. Horne, M.A., has been presented to the Rectory of Mureley, near Winslow, Bucks, on the presen tation of 'Mrs. Childers. PREACHER AT CARFAx..-The Warden of Wadham.— Oxford Journal. JUBILEE AT ELTHAM. The village of Eltham, Kent, was on Thursday the scene of a festival of rare occurrence, namely, the celebration of the fiftieth year of the residence of the clergyman. It appears that the Rev. Mr. John Ken ward Shaw Brooke, the present vicar, had been appointed to the living when he had at tained the age of twenty-five, and on Thursday (the sth of September) he had completed the fiftieth year of his charge, and the 75th year of his age. He had always been highly esteemed, and be gained on the esteem of his parishioners in proportion to the term of his residence. The consequence was, the determination to commemorate his worth by a jubilee, to be defrayed by public subscription. On entering the town we observed at every place indi cations of preparation ; garlands of flowers were erected on lofty poles, and flags and banners waving in every direction, with the word "Jubilee" and emblematical devices. The shops were all shut up —there was an entire suspension of business. The immediate scene of celebration was in a field close by the village, on the left leaving London, called the Parson's Field. There was an extensive square, or perhaps more properly speaking, we might say a continuation of marquees, under which were the tables and benches set to accommodate those who were to dine. In the centre was stationed a band of music, leaving space for a promenade. The main booth, and that intended for the chairman, Richard Mills, Esq., was surmounted with a grand device, painted in transparency. There were upwards of twenty marquees erected for lounges and retreats. Every person entitled to sit down to dinner had been provided with a card, stating the object of the meeting—the commemo ration of the Rev. Gentleman's 50th year in the vicarage, and the cards were elegantly executed that they might be worthy of preservation as a relict. The curate, the Rev. Mr. Myers, pro nounced the grace ; and the vast assemblage were plentifully supplied with a capital dinner from cold joints and plum-pudding, having an unlimited supply of beer. Every individual was then served with a glass of generous port, and the Chairman gave as the first toast,—" The health of John Kenward Shaw Brooke, fifty years vicar of the parish, and may he still be spared many years in the enjoyment of health and happiness." Although only 1,400 sat down to dinner, more than 5,000 were present in all. Here closes the first part of the grand fes tival, all that was solid and substantial and sober. The band played quadrilles, and the green sward was beautiful to dance upon. In addition to the sweets of the scenery and the daughters of the Terp sichore, there had been circulated the following placard : " AMUSEMENTS TO TAKE PLACE AT T/IE ELTIIAM JUBILEE, SEPTEMBER, 5, 1833. " No. 1, gingling match ; all persons to be pro perly attired.—No. 2, scrambling for penny-pieces; candidates not allowed to fall down.—No. 3, flog ging the ball out of the hole; no unfair whipping, and not to cut his neigbour too close.—No. 4, eat ing rolls and treacle; boys to come with clean faces. —No. 5, dipping for marbles; no candidate to wear hair-powder.--No. 6, dipping for oranges ; no boys to wear night-caps, and their mouths not to exceed six inches.—No. 7, climbing the pole; no candidate to come with bird iitrle, no objection to chaff.--No. 8, jumping in sacks; no person will be admitted with a wooden leg.—No. 9, hurdle stakes; short-sighted persons need not apply.—No. 10, carter's best !nattier woof, and best crack of the whip; no dumb person to offer himself candidate. Under the management of the Sub-Committee, Messrs. Smith, Lekeux, and Robert. The whole to conclude with a grand display of fireworks." Preparations were made for all these things, and completed the seria nzirta jocis of the day. The clergyman, good old man, did not remain to witness the games, but many of his admirers did. CHOLERA BLOWN AWAY.—The cholera, which, as we stated last week, had visibly begun to de cline, has undergone a more unequivocal diminution within the last six or eight days than during any former period since the commencement of its present irruption. We are glad to find by the Bills of Mortality that the deaths from cholera have diminished to sixty-nine in the week, the number a fortnight ago having been nearly two hundred. In fact, the late sudden reduction of temperature, and the change in the atmosphere effected by the late heavy gales, seem to have had a beneficial influence on the epidemic. If this improvement should continue, the preservation of life on shore may be set against the melancholy losses at sea, and the old adage still remain true, that " it is an ill wind that blows nobody good.".••Msdical Gazette. AVOTHER IMPRISONMENT !OR MtNisrEas' STIPENEG —Mr. Simpson, a wealthy poulterer in the market, was yesterday escorted to jail by a number of persons bearing flags, banners, &c., with a band of music. This parade seemed to attract much notice. At one o'clock the pro cession returned from jail, and we were surprised to see Mr. Simla ,n in front. We have just heard that Mr. Simpson alleges he was imprisoned for a sum, part of which he bad previously paid, that his law agent paid the full sum claimed, under protest, and staf,:i that an ac tion of damages for wrongeus imprisonment would imme diately follow. Royal Adelaide steam ship arrived in Leith harbour early this morning. This powerful vessel has no. .only been able to encounter the late northerly gales with per fect safety, but has been tl.e means'of assisting others in distress. In the course of her passage from London, she saw several vessels wrecked on the coast and in the river and many more in a disabled state, one of which, the Marquis of Huntly, she towed from near the Shipwash sand to the entrance of Harwich. THE ARDINCAPLE STEAM PACKET...m.IIms very gene rally rumoured yesterday that this vessel, on her passage from Leith to Newcastle, had met with some serious die.. aster at sea. Upon the arrival of the Newcastle coaches last night we made every inquiry, and what appeared to us the most authentic account was this:—That the vessel was weathering the gale of Sunday, when off Bambornugis Castle, one of the paddles went wrong, and that the captain and two of the crew, baying lowered the vessel's boat, went in it for the purpose of examining into the cause of the paddle not working, when unfortunately the rope by which the boat was attached to the vessel broke or gave way, and that the boat immediately upset, and those on board perished. The vessel, howeva, was after warps towed into Shields by a sloop, and the numerous passengers and the remaining part of the crew were landed in safety. So imperfect are the accounts received that we merely give the above as we have received it, without vouching for its accuracy. STEWARTON.—A very melancholy occurrence took place here lately. About mid-day, a lady and gentleman drove up in a gig to Mrs. Chapman's inn ; and before alighting, the lady handed to Mrs. Chapman an infant which she carried in her arms. Mrs. Chapman carried it into the kitchen, and sat down before the fire to warm it; but on uncovering its bands and feet, she felt them so very cold as to alarm her and the mother of the child for its safety. A surgeon was instantly sent for, who, on ex amining the child, declared that it had been dead for some time. Mothers when travelling in open carriages with children, ought to be very cautious bow they wrap them up with clothing, or place them in their arms, so as not to expose them to the strong current of air formed when carrLases ore driven rapidly along the road.—EdinburgTs Evening Courant. MEETING IN EDINBURGH IN BEIIALF OF TILE Pomrs.—On Tuoday night a highly respectable meeting was held in Rose street Chapel, for the purpo se o f afford ing relief to the suffering _poles ; the Rev. Dr. Ritchie in the chair. Poland (he said) Lad been the asylum of those who, in former times, had been banished for lighting up the torch of civil and religious libery before the empire over which their infernal persecutor reigned bad been cradled into existence.—(Great applause.) That despot, not content with slaughtering her patriots, with extirpat ing the young and old who could not bear arms, wreaked his vengeance on the infant in the cradle, and sent ten thousand females into Siberia, with such a scanty supply of provisions, that their drivers left many of them to perish on the way—indeed the path might have been traced by the corses ! He suppressed the University, knowing full well that knowledge and tyranny could not dwell together ; he had even enacted that it is an unpardonable crime to teach their native language—to speak the Polish tongue upon the Polish soil ! This was a cause which must find an advocate in every human heart. Several gentlemen, among whom were two Poles addressed the meeting, after which a liberal subscription was entered into for the relief of the Polish refugees. The house of Mr. Thomas Sharman, called Swayfield Lodge, near Corby, was attempted to be entered on Monday morning last, but without success. In the evening a stack of straw, the property of Mr. Sharman, was set on fire by some incendiaries, which communicated with a wheat hovel, containing eight acres of wheat, and the whole was destroyed in a very short time. The loss is estimated at 2001.—Lincolnshire Chronicle. ANECDOTE OF A RUSSIAN.—A Russian of' my acquaintance visited England, with a small portman teau, about two years ago. Good heavens ! how he abused us! Never was so rude, cruel, suspicious, bar baric people! I saw him a few months since, having just paid us a second visit—be was in raptures with all lie saw—never was a people so improved ; his table was crowded with cards—how hospitable we were! The master of the hotel had displaced an English family to accommodate him—what a refined consideration for a stranger ! Whence arose this difference in the Russian's estimate of us ? His uncle was dead—he had come into a great property. In neither case had our good people looked at the foreigner ; they had looked the first time at the small portmanteau, and the second tims at the three carriages and four !—Bulwer's England and the English. DOWN FEN.—In consequence of the gale on Saturday, and an unusually strong spring tide, the sluice and tunnel on the West bank of the river Ouze, recently laid down about midway between Downharn and Stow Bridges, were blown up about eight that evening. The breach was 30 feet wide, and such was the immense body and impetuosity of the water, chat in a few hours upwards of 1,500 acres of land (out of a district of from 1,600 to l7 r laid)vanthewlaeymrethFe'e n g ia, greater te under rat ptairat. o water;f momentindeedheh ar deeplyvensea r h l nearly idn the ne whole edna tdo of Do t u °o n ' t.

Two other breaches of banks of the said river happened the same night between Downham bridge and Salters'-lodge, which overflowed the turnpike road, and rendered it for two or three days impassable; by which inundation Mr. James Houghton, of Downhatn Market, farmer, had a valuable mare drowned in the stable. The damage sustained by this lamentable event has not yet been ascertained, but it is much to be feared that it is to a considerable extent, nor is there any prospect that the water can be got off before next spring.— Cambridge Chronicle. HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND MURDER.—On the .Ilst ult., at midnight, a robbery and murder of the most diabolical kind was discovered to have been corn enitted in the township of Newton, near this town, on the body of a man narued Joseph Cash, the keeper of a public house, The Cotton Tree, in the same place. The greatest excitement has prevailed throughout the neigh bourhood ever since the melancholy affair has transpired, and the most unremitting exertions have been used by. Messrs. Chorlton and Hibhert, the Clerks to the Magis trates in that neighbourhood, aided by Mr. Birch, the Special High Cwnstable of the district, to discover the assassins, but for the present all their efforts have been un availing. On Monday last an inquest was held on the body, before John Hollins, Esq., Coroner, at the house of Mr. Fleming, the Shoulder of Mutton, in Newton, when a mo , t respectable jury was empannelled. The inquiry commenced at ten o'clock in the morning, and continued until twelve at night, when, after the most patient exami nation of the witnesses, during which much contradiction e and discrepancy in the testimony appeared, the some ca to a unanimous verdict of Wilful Mu h r e de person or persons unknown.
