EV ENIA G. EDITION. CHURCH OF SCOTLAND. The following are extracts from private letters rela ! ties to the occurrences which took pace on Sunday, in the parishes of the seven Clergymen suspended by the Commission of Assembly, and the service of the inter , diets issued by the Court of Session upon the Clergy appointed to carry the orders of the Commission into effect. It will be seen that the law in every instance prevailed, that the agents of the Commission were not allowed to cuter the Churches cr Courch-yards, to pro mulgate the edict of the Commission, and that in all the parishes the people have displayed the utmost sympathy and regard for the suspended ministers. To what a la mentable ebb these violent men have brought the au thority of the General Assembly in Scotland ! One of the agents of the General Assembly having in vain ap plied in ►n my quarters fora place to officiate in, at last was obliged to preach and pro nulgate the sentence in the room of a public-house, and another officiated at the door of a pubiic-house bet could get no hearers : KEITH.--Mr. A bereromby Gyrdon from Aberdeen, came up to this place from Fochabers, on Sunday morning; and baying made a variety of attempts for a place to discourse in, he at last betook himself to the ex periment of waiting at the church gate outside, and the moment the bell began to ring for public worship, he got a chair, and during the ringing of the bell, and whilst the people were thronging to church, addressed the audience. By this means an au-.lience of perhaps 100 or 150 individaals was collected. In his discourse he justified the proceedings of the Cominissioo, con demned the seven ministers, and endear oured to show that the chief characteristic of the Commission's sen tence was leniency. After his sermon he read the sentence of the Commis sion, and then concluded by intimating that next Lord's-day, Mr. Cunningham from Edinburgh, would preach, and that in the meantime, it' any person wished to be united in the holy bands of matrimony, he was ready to perform the ceremony, or to baptize, or visit the sick, Om At Auntly, Mr. Walker, minister of the parish, preached twice to crowded congregations. Mr. Simp. son, (of Aberdeen) having in vain applied in a number of quarters for a place to officiate in, at laq got a room in the inn where be was living, and preached and promulgated the sentence to about 150 individuals, partly Dissenters and parlay persons attracted by cu riosity, At Betrophnie, Mr. Masson preached himselt . . Mr. Clark, (of Inverness), who was appointed by the Commission, sent a deputy, who officiated at the door of the public house in the parish, hut without any hearers. Mr. Grant did not arrive at Nlortlach till half-past eleven, being within half an hour of public worship. He was accompanied by Mr. H. Urquhart, writer, For res. Ou his appearance at the church gate, Mr. Ga therer, notary public, from Elgin, served the interdict on him before witnesses. He received the copy, but, along with his agent, maintained that the service was illegal on Sunday, and refused to read it. They then made very great efforts to see Mr. Cruickshanks personally, and demand the key from him, but in this they did not succeed, and a factor for taro of the heritors was present, who told them distinctly that he would resist their getting the keys ; and at length Mr. Grant addressed the people, of whom there Was a very large collection, stating the purpose of his visit, and that having been interrupted in preaching in the parish church, he would preach in the villago, whence he proceeded, and held forth to a considerable number, but chiefly stragglers from other parishes, who had come there from curiosity. At the manse gate, as well as at the conclusion of the service at Dufftown, he intimated the Commission's appointment, reading at the latter place the whotc p - oceedings, and intimated that in obedience thereto there would be pre telling next Sunday at the parish church. No disturbance took place, and the pa rishioners, rejoicing that Mr. Grant had been defeated, quietly dispersed, evincing it the same time the strongest feeling and attachment for their pastor. They seemed disappointed that he did not preach, no service having taken place in the church, which, under all the circum stances, and in order to prevent any disturbance, was mash - 1. - erect best. T A:tr'vNlE-A minister of the name of Mr. Shanks ar rived on Saturday evening, as did the Sheriff Substitute of the County on Sunday morning. It appears that Mr. Shanks, being apprised of the interdict issued on Friday by the Court of Session, and of the Parish Mi nister (Mr. Allardyce's) resolution to obey the law of the land, and to occupy his own pulpit, felt the expe diency of avoiding all forcible attempts, and adopted a different course. He intimated, by placards, that he was to preach on the street, and followed up this inti mation by placing a table, a chair, and himself precisely opposite to the parish church and its windows, at the very moment when the parish minister entered his church, followed by his people. Mr. Shanks, however, was not witlout his audience. He had from 80 to 100 people, composed mainly of strangers from surrounding pa rishes, whom curiosity had attracted, and by the mem bers of a small voluntary congregation who have a chapel in the village, and whose precentor officiated to Mr. Shanks. Both services Laving ended, the people (noted in this district for their general quietude) departed to their homes ; the parishioners demonstrating their respect for their excellent and talented pastor by every becom ;^7 expression of esteem. Flcos 's TRIAL TO THE MOST NOBLE THE MARQUIS • 'OF NORMANBY. Taystock Hotel, Covent Garden, Dec. 6,1339. My LORD—In my letter of the 22d ult., which I had the honour of addressing to your Lordship, I took the liberty of calling your attention to a report which was in circulation, and the truth of which has been since confirmed, to the effect, that the trial of Mr. Frost and others, who stand charged with treason, would take place in the course of the present month, and I felt it my duty to call your Lordship's attention to the injustice that would be committed in bringing those par ties to trial before their cases could, by any possibility, have had that perfect attention and mature deliberation which the magnitude of the offence with which they are charged imperatively demands and requires. Your Lordship's reply to that letter does not in any way notice the appeal therein made, and I, therefore, feel compelled again to obtrude upon your Lordship, and to implore your kt , :rposition, so far at least as to se cure to my clients somewhat more of probability than at present exits of their being afforded a full and an impartial trial. This, my Lord, can only bm secured by time, by a fair and reasonable postponement of the day of trial— a postponement loudly called for by the voice of humanity and of justice, and sanctioned by the usages of all our Courts of Law, not only by those of criminal, but also by those of civil jurisprudence. May I be allowed to call your Lordship's attention to the case of Archibald Bolam. That, my Loyd, was a case of the most revolting barbarity. The offending criminal was found deluged in the gore of his unoffend ini victim ; and yet, my Lord, in that case an appeal to the Judge secured a delay of several months, on the ground of th e excited state of public feeling and the prejudice which had been created against the pri,oner. It is possible, my Lord—or perhaps I should say highly probable—that an appeal to the Judges appointed to try my clients v‘ll be responded to with huma nity and consideration, the pros erbial characteristics of those who at the present day honour and adorn the judgment seat of this country. In the Judges appointed to preside at the trial of my clients, I hav e every con fidence that man can have in roan ; but, my Lord, I know that the Judges of the land are governed by established rules, and I am not aware how far their authority to postpone these trial. might extend, when acting under powers delegated to them by virtue of a Special Commission. I have, my Lord, tak , in leave to call your Lordship's attention to the recent ease of Archibald Bolam, and I could here mention a variety of other cases wherein a similar course has been pursued, but were I to pro ceed to call your Lordship's attention to the several in stances in detail, in ouch the trials of accused parties have been postponed under circumstances far less press ing than those which exist in the case of my clients, it would imply the existence of a doubt in my mind of Your Lordship's acquaintance with those canes, a doubt which I do not, and would not, for one moment enter. taln. I would there:Cre only ask your Lordship to give those cases and the cash of my clients your full consi deration, to reflect upon the nature of the offence with which My client s are c h arge d, upon t h e consequence of a conviction, and upon the awful reso.onsibility that must neceasarily a t tac h t o t h ose , w h o, h ar i ng the means of securing to the accused parties a full and fair trial, shall hare refused their int er p os i t i on , an d b y h at re f usal shall, in effect, have cause d t h ose part i es to he con demned untried, uoluserd, and undefended. There is, my Lord, another matter to which I beg to be allowed to appeal to y our L ordship. I am concerned in the whole for, I believe, upwards of thirty prisoners, at present confined in the connty gaol of Monmouth upon charges of treason and sedition. Most of these men are poor and destitute ;. none of them are wealthy. They have not the means of de ' fending themselves, and the question arises, how am I to perform the duties imposed upon me. Tho c o s t o f counsel alone will amount to nothing short of 1,000/. for lie there will be no circuit bar, counsel must be taken down specially, and the other expences necessarily at tendant upon the defence of so luau r...rsons will, amount to little short of .500/. more. The Crowe in the prosecution will be ,tided by all the forensic ability (and truly gigantic is the ability) now at its command, as well as hy all the means and appliances of an unlimited public purse, cod all this, my Lord, is, I admit, as it should ht. But when I direct my observation to these facts, when I conteitplate the phalanx of talent that will iJe arrayed against my clients as well as the resources without bran!: possessed by those who, in the fair and legitimate performance of their duty, are conducting these prosecutions, I cannot, my Lord, contemplate the relative posi tion of my c li ents but with the mast painful disquietude and wi t h th e most agon i s i ng suspense, and I feel that it would be extremely wrong in me to con tend against that overwhelming power which will be brought to bear against my clients, without first appeal ing for aid to the justice of the Government of which your Lordship is a memLer. In that feeling I ask tour Lordship to recommend to the Lords of her Ma jesty's Treasury to grant such a sum as will be suffi cient to secure to those prisoners who have no means wherewith to defend themselves, or who have not am ple means for that purpose, a sum sufficient to s,cure for them the best defence that human talent can be ca pable of affording. There is perhaps one mode by which the funds required for the prisoner's defence might be procured without invoking your Lordship's sense of justice —namely , by a public appeal to the sympathies of the party in Monmouthshire, and the adjoining counties, entertaining the same political views with those of my clients. I believe, my Lord, that by personally appear ing amongst that party the means would be obtained. To this course I have been frequently urged, but, my Lord, I shrink from the hazardous u ndertaking of adding to the present excitement, because it is possible, in order that my appeal might be effectual, that I should be compelled to state facts and use arguments which upon all occasions, but more especially in times like the pre sent, I should indeed regret to have recourse to. To secure to the prisoners, however, the best defence and protection the English bar can afford, I shall, if other means fail, feel impelled by a sense of imperative duty to pursue the course that has been suggested, and all, save personal honour, shall be involved in a struggle to obtain for them that to which law, justice, and huma nity pronounce them to be entitled. But, my Lord, when I call to mind the various and continued acts of clemency that marked your ex ercise of the Vice-Regal authority, with which you were invested in the Sister Kingdom, I am inspired with a strong and fervent hope that your Lordship will use your powerful influence not only to cause the trial of my clients to be postponed to such time as shall allow public feeling to have regained its usual compo sure, and the public prejudices to have subsided, but that you will also recommend the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury to respond to the appeal which I have before urged. This appeal, my Lord, does not emanate from one who is or ever has been the political partizan of the un fortunate prisoners. What the views entertained by so humble an individual as myself arc, can be of little importance ; but I may with propriety say here that I have never been involved in any political agita tion ; I am not, nor ever have been, an advocate for the principles embodied in what is termed the People's Charter ; it is my pride to be of a party whose exertions have ever been directed to the maintenance and support of the British Constitution, and whose earnest desire is that of transmitting it to posterity in all its purity. To ensure that end, my Lord, the power possessed by those in authority should be exercised so as to maintain the authority of the law, and the respect and confidence of the party governed. This, my Lord, forms one feature in the course that has hitherto marked your career as a Statesman, and the uniform clemency of that course has imparted addi tional lustre to the brightest gems that can adorn the Monarch's Crown—those of justice and mercy. Allow the same spirit that has influenced your Lord ship upon all other occasions to extend itself to your deliberation upon the case of my clients. In accordance with the spirit of our criminal jurisprudence, let not revenge for the past, but security for the future, be the principle of action governing and guiding those to whem the prosecution of my clients shall be confided. As the Solicitor of the prisoners, my Lord, I have had continued opportunities of learning much as to the feeling at this moment pervading the masses in various densely populated districts. Allow me, my Lord, to assure you most respectfully, though advis edly, that it is not by any unhallowed persecutions, nor by violent measures, that peace and harmony are to be restored in those districts in which insubordination has been and still is stalking abroad undiscovered and un suspected. The Government with which you are connected, my Lord, has at this moment an opportunity of acquiring and securing the confidence of the millions, and of re storing and establishing peace and tranquillity through. out the land. You now have an opportunity, my Lord, of acquiring for your Royal Mistress,—to whom God grant a long and happy reign I —the love and veneration of the millions of her Majesty's subjects ; and you have the means of causing her Majesty's nuptial year to be ushered in amidst the united voice of those millions joined in one universal prayer for her Majesty's earthly tranquillity and eternal welfare. May you, my Lord, under the auspicious guidance of :a Divine .Providence, pursue that course wh e r e by t h ose en d s are to be achieved. My Lord, my letter has extended itself far beyond what I had intended, and I must not further tres pars upon you. If I have already obtruded too far upon your Lordship, I most humbly apologize, but I trust you will ascribe the obtrusion not to any absence of that high respect and consideration, which I am bound to entertain for your Lordship, but to an anxiety of mind attendant upon the onerous and painful respon sibility which has been thrown upon me. I have the honour to be, soy Lord, Your very obedient, humble servant, W. F. GEACH. THE REPLY. Whitehall, Dec. 10, 1839. Six—l am directed by the Marquis of Normanby to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 6th inst. Lord Normanby directs me to inform you, that your application for a postponement of the trials of the pri soners lately committed for high treason should be ad dressed in the usual course, as you must be aware, to the Judges appointed under the Special Commission, and that it would not be proper or regular for him to interfere. Lord Normanby is confident that all application on behalf of the prisoners will receive from the Judges the fullest consideration, and that all will be done by them which can justly be done, for ensuring to them a fair and impartial trial. Upon that part of your letter, in which you request Lord Normanby "to recommend to the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury to grant such a sum as will be suffi cient to secure to those prisoners who have no means wherewith to defend themselves, or who have not ample means for that purpose, a sum sufficient to secure for them the best defence that human talent may be capable of affording,"—Lord Normanby directs me to inform you that a compliance with this request is entirely out of his power. Lord Normanby directed a letter to be addressed to you on the , which he hopes you have re ceived, informing you that you would be allowed to take copies and extracts from the papers seized in possession of Frost, in whose defence you are engaged. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, S. M. PHILLIPPS. W. F. Geach, Esq. The following petition was afterwards forwarded to tho Queen's Most Excellent Majesty— May it please your Majesty, The humble petition of us, the undersigned pri soners, in your Majesty's gaol, at Monmouth, upon charges of treason and sedition, and other charges arising out of the late disturbances a* Newport, humbly showeth,— That your Majesty's petitioners are to take their trials on or about the 31st day of the present month of December, 1839. That your Majesty's petitioners are to be tried under, and by virtue of, a Special Commission, and that there will be no Circuit Bar on the occasion of the said trials. That your Majesty's petitioners are destitute of the increased means, thereby rendered necessary, for pro curing the aid of able and experienced counsel to con. duct their defence. That several of your Majesty's petitioners stand charged with the crime of high treason, and that bills of indictment for that offence have been presented to the Grand Jury and have been duly found. _ . That your Majesty's petitioners humbly but honestly and truly beg to be allowed to offer their assurance to your Majesty that ycur petitioners never entertained either individually or otherwise any feeling or spirit of hostility, or irreverence against your Majesty's sacred person, rights, or immunities, nor against the Constitu tion r f your Majesty's realms as by law established. Your Majesty petitioners therefore humbly pray to be allowed to seek at your Majesty's bands, and that your Majesty will be pleased to grant, that pecuniary assistance which will enable your petitioners to establish in the face of their fellow countrymen their innocence of the high and penal offence with which they are charged, and of evidencin g to foreign nations that of whatever other degree of offence your petitioners might be guilty, there does not exist, on the part of your Majesty's petitioners, and (as your petitioners believe) of your Majesty's subjects generally, any spirit of dis loyalty or irreverence against your Majesty's sacred person, rights and immunities, nor against the Esta blished Constitution of your Majesty's realm. And your Majesty's petitioners will ever pray. (Signed by 38 prisoners.) THE REPLY TO THE PETITION. Whitehall, Dec. 26, 1839. Sir,—l am directed by the Marquis of Normanby to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 21st inst., transmitting a petition, addressed to the Queen, from the several prisoners confined at Monmouth, upon charges arising out of the late disturbances at Newport, and to acquaint you that Lord Normanby cannot re commend to her Majesty to give orders for the granting of pecuniary aid, as prayed for in the petition above mentioned towards the defence of the petitioners on their trial for high treason and other charges. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, S. M. PHILLIPS. W. F. Genii, Esq. Tavistock Hotel, Covent-garden. CHRISTMAS.--A eombination of circumstances at this period tends to render the duty of active bene volence towards our necessitous fellow-creatures doubly imperative on those possessin g , the comforts of life, and more than ordinarily acceptabl e to the recipients of it.

A TROUBLESOME CUSTOMER.—The Court of Assizes at Marseilles has been engaged for five days on the trial of a band of seven robbers, who, last spring. repeatedly stopped the diiigences in the ncighbourhoood of that city and Toulon, of which we gave accounts at the time. The facts were clearly proved ; one only was acquitted from some defect in the evidence ; five were sentenced to hard labour at the hulks for life, and the last to the same punishment for five years. When the criminals were brought into Court to hear judgment, some acts of violence being ap prehended from them, they were all manacled, and at_ tended by Is Gendarmes, while a guard of 36 men wer e stationed in the court outside. Oa the verdict hein,, announced to them, Dor, one of the five condemned le life, rose, and with a stentorian voice exclaimed, that i t was an act of injustice, adding " Coquins de jures !' " Coquins de jug es !" Striking the bar in front of the dock with his irons on his hands, he broke it down with a single blow. Eight gendarmes attempted to secure him, but he overthrew thtm all, and, seizing the sword of one drew it half out of its scabbard before it could be wrested from him. A long and desperate struggle ensued to remove the violent man from the Court. This, however, could not be accomplished without the united strength of twelve gendarmes, who at last got Lim back into prison, where it was found impossible to put additional chains on his limbs until the keeper threatened to let loose a savage dog at him. Upon this Dor submitted. Laval, another of the five, made a similar attempt, but was soon subdued, and listened pa tiently to his sentence. The Sud, of Marseilles, states that on the very day after the above scene, the diligence to Avignon was stopped at the same spot as that chosen by the men now under condemnation. TILE KELFIELD PROPHETESS. Hannah White, formerly Hannah &edam, the fanatic whose prophecy of her own death a few years ago created such a sensation in this city and its vicinity, and Hl , , 1 so many to make a pilgrimage to Kelfield, in order to wit ness its accomplishment, in reality paid the debt of nature, in Bedern, in this city, on Monday last, without making rclsnostication of her departure. Sho r tly aftertheanfiy P tilure of her strange prediction, she got mar ried, and has left two young children. Her closing days have been passed in distress and poverty.—York Cou rant. TETE KING GE HOLLAND'S MARRIAGE.— A letter from the Hague says, " A report which has for some time past been gaining groun d, t h at t h e Ki ng has been secretly married at Rome, by proxy, to Mademoiselle d'Oultremont, has had great influence upon the Dutch deputies in the rejection r o f th e Go vernment measure for the loan. This reputed mar riage does incalculable injury to the Orange dynasty_" MR. FROST. Address of the Committee appointed at a General Meeting, held at the Doctor Johnson Tavern, Bolt court, for the purpose of calling a Public Meeting of the Inhabitants of the Metropolis, on behalf of Mr. Frost and his fellow-prisoners. In pursuance of the duties entrusted to us, we have applied for the use of rooms at the several places where great metropolitan meetings have heretofore been held, but, either because such rooms have been previously en gaged for a period to extend beyond the issue of the ap proaching trials, or in consequence of our views being mis apprehended, we have been unable to obtain them ; and as our desire is not to increase excitement at this critical juncture, but to make a dignified and manly declaration of the intense anxiety we feel, we consider that thy solemnity of our object would not be accomplished be convening meetings of a less im l sortant character. We have, therefore, determined calmly and earnestly to place before the public our views and our appeal in the cause of civil right, justice, and humanity. Had we convened a public meeting, we had no inten tion to use or to sanction the use of language of a threatening or unbecoming character, or in any way to interfere with the operation of the law. But we did intend to express our indignation that the same fairness had not been pursued towards the prisoners— we did intend to repel the vile calumnies, the wicked aspersions, and the deliberate false hoods, which certain portions of the public press have propagated against a man, whose integrity, whose mo rality, and whose benevolence had caused him to be ioved most where he was known best ; we did intend to express our melancholy regret, that falsehoods should have been invented, and that facts should have been distorted, to prejudice this man, and his fellow-pri soners in the public estimation, and in the minds of those persons who are specially appointed to try th em . It has been charged against the prisoners that they sought the destruction of life and property ; and, in deed, that such are the objects of all those who are usually denominated Chartists. Malignity never in vented a charge with less foundation. It is well known that the assembled thousands in Wales carefully and sedulously paid for every article they appropriated to their use on their way to and from Newport ; they neither insulted persons nor destroyed property ; and, except in the yet unexplained occurrence at the West gate Hotel, which is about to undergo a judicial in vestigation, not a single outrage of any description can even be alleged to have taken place. Surely, then, it is not too much to ask of Englishmen to refrain from assuming that to be proved of which there is yet no evidence. As to the Chartists, their principles are plain, simple, and constitutional ; their objects have been printed, and before the public for months, in the shape of a Bill, which they proposed to have submitted to Par liament. It would be well if their enemies would read the Charter before they condemn its ad vocates,, and then it would be seen that nothing is further from their views than attacks of any de scription upon the property or the rights of others. Their petition, signed by a million and a half of persons, prayed humbly and respectfully for the adoption of the Charter ; and the whole tenor and scope of their exer tions have been to make the House of Commons that which the Constitution assumes it to be, but that which it really is not—the Commonx, or the common people of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. We arc at a loss, therefore, to know why the Char tists are to be maligned by the falsehoods of anonymous writers, for seeking to enforce a great constitutional principle, the justice of which no one can deny. If the principles of the " ChartQr " are now to be repudiated, there is not a book of authority in the library of any Judge in the land that must not henceforth become a dead letter. These anonymous writers have so far permitted party spirit to outrage propriety as to set aside that excellent maxim in English jurisprudence which aseumes the inno cence of every man not proved guilty, and demands that every one should be tried without prejudice. Not only have Mr. Frost and his companions been declared guilty before their defence has been heard, but their very fate and punishment have been anticipated and pronounced. We would hope, for the sake of justice and humanity, that the prejudice which these men have sought to create may be without effect—that their malice may not be gratified—that their unfeeling cry for blood may find no response in the hearts of a British jury. Should, unhappily, our hopes be disappointed, and the Government, yielding to evil counsel, be persuaded to exercise its power with rigour, in order to gratify the vin dictiveness of party spirit—we calmly and seriously ask, would the sacrifice of Mr. Frost, or of the humblest pri soner, better enable them to conduct the affairs of the country, in every way so critical as they are at present, and peculiarly so from the severe distress of the suffering millions P—would it supply the labouring population and their children with food in return for their un ceasing toil ?—would it remove their provocation to outbreak ?—would it establish for them their civil rights i—would it destroy agitation ?—would it put down Chartism ? If it would produce none of these effects, but if, on the contrary, as severity ever defeats its object, it would only fan the flame of popular discontent, and excite, as we contend it would, in an alarming degree, the most revengeful passions of our nature ; then how impolitic—how irreligious—how inhuman—and how awfully responsible must they be who would bring about such fearful and melancholy re sults, or who would add to the many afflictions which the people have already endured, by inflicting a wound too deep ever to be healed. Notwithstanding all our appehensions and all our grievances, we would still hope that justice and humanity may prevail on this important and perilous occasion, and that the prisoners may have every opportunity afforded them of obtaining that ac quittal which we hope and solemnly believe they merit. Whatever may be the issue, or whatever may be the general opinion respecting their guilt, still every Englishman must agree that they ought to have a fair and impartial trial : that cannot be had without great expense to meet the tremendous power and great ability of the Government advocates. We, therefore, implore the public to assist the prisoners with their subscriptions, and in every way to render them that support which they would themselves desire were they placed in a similar situation. By order of the Committee, B. TILLY, Secretary. TOURNAMENT IN TIFLIS.—The Constitu hound gives the following from Tiflis, in Georgia : " On the 10th of October four or five hundred Cabar dian and Tartar Princes assembled at Tiflis to celebrate their national fete. After the performance of divine service in the open air, horse-racing and a grand tour nament commenced. Eighty horsemen, armed from head to foot, and mounted upon steeds covered with armour entered the lists. They divided themselves into two bodies, and carried on a combat of three hours first with the lance and next with the sword. The Ca bardians wore gilded armour, with red scarfs, and rode grey horses. The Tartars wore silver-plated armour, with green scarfs, and had black horses. The victory was with the Cabardians, of whom, at the end of the tournament, eight were still in their stirrups, whilst all the Tartars had been dismounted. No more serious accident than a few contusions occurred. In the even ing there was a discharge of fireworks in the mountains. General Gollowine and a great number of the ladies of Tiflia were present at the tournament."

THE BASTARDY CLAUSE.—An interesting-look in g young woman was brought to this office yesterday by Mr. Miller, the clerk to the Guardians of the West London Poor-law Union, for the purpose of affiliating a bastard child upon John Beswick, who bad agreed to allow two shillings per week. It appeared that the father was a servant living in Thavies Inn, and having twenty guineas a year wages besides perquisites. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY—If the young woman leaves the workhouse will you keep the child in the house for the two shillings a week ? Mr. Miller—We should make her take the child with her, and allow her the two shillings a week. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY—Then I shall not agree to two shillings a week, it is not enough ; he ought to allow her three and sixpence a week. Mr. Miller—That is nearly half his wages, and would be inducing him to turn a bad character. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY—It is forcing the young woman to turn a bad character ; it is forcing her into the streets. Mr. Miller—lt is a premium upon vice. ' What Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY—Nonsens e, woman would have a bastard child for two shillings per week ? Mr. Miller—The law considers the fault to lie with no woman. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY-At least five-and -thirty per cent. of the blame attaches to the man.undTehr! framers of that law were very hard-hearted an d stood nothing of the female character. I shall make an order for three shillings a-week. How TO KEEP TAILORS HONEST.---"" tailors of Inverness are an ingenious race of men, and fully as good craftsmen as their brethren in the sout. We find, however, that their predecessors , a hundred years since, were somewhat suspected. In the letters of Captain Burt, written from this place about 1730, it is mentioned, as a " notable precaution agail st the tailors' purloining," that the following plan was adopted by the inhabitants :—" This is to buy everythi the ng sttarhat goes to the making of a suit of clothe s, even to - tape and thread; and when they are delivered out they are altogether weighed before the tailor's face ; an d when he brings home the suit it is again put into the scale, with the shreds of every sort, and it is exported the whole shall answer the original weight."--Inverness Courier. selected e y ociftle , it : s e GOLD NECK CHAINS from of several patterns, price, might of four of alx sove vs ; e e i g n h s t , Seen five into btoleii Goldsmith, J e r i: ji l t : l: 7 • f Silversmith, this des . i • ht i s given by coipparison with the weight of s overeigns, weig *ly referred s m o a v yL ere bA i e gn being m ore easi e G G o u ld . is warranted equal to any that is work 6 a to than if stated in ounces and dwts.
