Tf) THE EDITOR OF TILE ,':r.7.\7. SIR, Tits fdllowing Fa& ought to be made public, as a Caution to the poor Clergy, who at any time may be without employment. A Clergyman, who was in want of Cnracies, looking into a Morning Paper, perceived two Cu. racies, one at Ipswich and another at WoOdbritige, advertised. He immediately applied at the Agency Office by which they were advertised, and was '-told if •110 went immediately down to Woodbridge, tart Suffnia, where the Agent's friend resided, he ''t - 6#04t1 his choice, and that he would be re : IntiNetifkttl for his expences. The poor Gentleman paid Four Pounds for agency, Went down to Woodbridge at the expence of five poonds more, where be met. with the Agent's friend, whom he treated'. with several dinners and suiTers ; and after having expended all his ready cash, his sood -Friend put him in possession' of racks fur three' months, at the rate of gol. pei ann. ; but, to his sad mortification, he found that he could obtain .nothing in re-payment for his expences, and that his whole earnings for the three months would amount to no more than Twelve Pounds Ti:n Shit lius-s—a tom not equal to what he paid for agency, try tic/hug expeutvs, and mteriaiumentr. Surely it is the duty of their Lordships, the 'Midlop, to proteEt the poorer Clergy fronr-such miserable degradation. Studious men, fruit) their ignotance of the world, are more -liable to be im. posed upon:thin others. If Clerical Agency Of fteer nre , permitted, they ought to be under the bteidest Replations.

CITY OF EDINBURGH. ELECTION% ON Tuesday the Ele&ion of a Member to repre sent this City in Parliament, took place in the Council Chamber. At twelve o'clock the meeting was constituted by a prayer from the Rev. Dr. BAIRD; Principal of the University, and one of the Ministers of the City. The Right Hon. Lord Viscount MELVILLE, our late res , peetable Representative, paid a visit to the Council, and addressed them in the following word s : t I 44 Nty , :t.ol.b PROVOST; " I have been Wonourecl , by the 'receipt of the Congratulatory Letter which your Lordship has addresSed to the In your own name, and that of the Magistrates and Town Council of the City of Edinburgh. I would have immediately acknow. !edged, the receipt of it, if I had not thought it more respectful to wait the earliest opportunity I could. have of your being assembled together in Council, when I might be permitted to make my ;personal acknowledgments for the very flattering terms in which you have been pleased to address me,. on occasion of His MAJESTY'S late marks of favour ~to, me,' and to my family. 1 can assure you, with great truth, that the acquisition -of a Peerage was never an object in my contemplation, with the view of gratifying any personal , vanity of my own, nor could I have any wish to change the name I have hitherto borne, descended as I am from a family, which for ages past has been distin. guished in the estimation of its Country, and in the course of that time has enjoyed many signal proofs of the good will and attachment of its fellow subjects. In my own person, I was at a very early period of my life seleded by the partiality, of my native Country, to be be their Representative in Parliament, and their original choice was ratified by many succes sive unanimous eledions. At a more advanced period of my public progress, I was, as you so oblig., ingly observe in your Letter, sixteen years ago, called upon by the Metropolis of my Nati ve Land, to undertake the important trust of representing them in Parliament, and in many successive and unanimous elections, you have given public testimony, that no part of my condud had drawn upon me your displea sure or disapprobation. Under these circumstances, and witlila perkt consciousness in my own breast, that litiWesier unavailing my exertions may at any time haVe been in the Public Seryice, there had been no want Of zeal or anxiety on my part to discharge my duty ; I was fully prepared, without further re. ward, to spend the remainder of my days in enjoy ing the society of my family and my friends ; and by what I ha ve‘said, you will be, satisfied, that the dis. tinguished honours I have obtained, are not the result of any importunate anxiety on my part ; you will not however 'conceive, that I value them the Jess on that account. I receive them with the deepest sense of gratitude to a gracious Sovereign, who has condo. scended, in this manner, to mark his approbation of the public condud of his servant. I trust, that my posterity, to the latest period, will never lose sight of the grounds on which these honours have been conferred on me, nor of the sentiments of loyalty and gratitude-with which they were originally re. ceived. " From the,explanation I have given you of my feelings on this subject, you will anticipate the sa tisfaCtion I have to express, on the grounds and terms of your congratulation. Your Letter justly describes the sentiments I entertain on the occa. sion ; and it is no inconsiderable addition to the satisfadion I have derived, to be enabled to flat: ter myself, that His Majesty's favour' is seconded by the approbation of those, whose duty it has been to watch, and whose province it has been to witness, the steps of my political progresi. The timesin which I have aeled have been critical beyond any former ex ample. 'They have been marked by circumstances, for which no past experience had produced a guide, and I trust, it is just matter of consolation to those who have been engaged in the.condutt of public con cerns, .for these nitro years years past,' that, by t h e goo d sense and tiithneAtif their Countrymen, they have been enabled to preserve entire that Constitution, which has been exposed to such variety of unex. ampled dangers. • " Having mentioned the Constitution under which we have, the happiness to live, I trust I shall not be thought to deviate very far from the objeCt• of my present Address, if I presume to trouble you with one observation resulting from the situation in which I am now placed. I will not trouble you with any of the particulars of the out, set of my life ; they are too well known to re quire any detail from Me. I content myself' with barely alluding to them. It has .pleased Provi dence to bless my Family with success beyond my most sanguine expectations. While we, there fore, continue to resist the pernicious effeCis of those frantic principles of ideal, equality, incom patible with the government of the world,- and the just order of human society, let us rejoice in those sUbstaptial blessings, the 'result of real free. dom, and of equal laws, which open to the fair ambition of every British &Midi the means of pur suing with success those objects of honour, and those situations of power, the attainment of which in other countries rests solely upon a paitial partici pation of personal favour,. and the enjoyment .of which rests upon the precarious tenure of arbitrary power. - It is impossible to look round to any quarter, without seeing splendid examples of the truth of this remark. " Before I conclude, allow me to offer you my best thanks for the very kind'reterence in your Letter to the interests and prosperity of my family, and for thelftiendly desire you are pleased to ex. press, irt - f thitaiicring your connexion with me, al. thoughnillotitieill - tie" is dissolved by w hich we have Wind 'Ocars been united. .1 accept your in vitation"With'gratitude and cordiali t y ; and if, upon any occasion, you conceive that 1 possess either abilities or experience thlt can be of use to you,, yoti are justly entitled to demand the 'aid of their best exertion s in your service'. At the same time, whatever citcumstances of regret I may on other grounds feel in the separation which has taken pine between us, I cannot permit myself to enter. win sentiments of that kind, from any doubts of my place, as your Representative, being amply sup. plied. You bate made u 3, secret amongst your low-citizens,of the person whom you mean to -adopt as my successor, and there i 3 every reason w believe your choice will meet with the most perfed appro. batiQn. It would be affetlatiOn'upon my parr, con sidering the ties by which Lim conneaed with that Gentleman, if I were to disguise from you the real , satisfattion I derive from every instance of OA for., tune that may attend kris progress; 'but if I know !tiy self, I can with truth 'assure you,that no ties of frknd ship or connexion, could blind me so far•as to Make me wish for his success, if. t were not conscientious ly satisfied that in every material reiluisite•of and heart, he was em i nent l y qualified ra'tfiselialge the duties of that important trust, wirh generally unterstood you intend to invest him. I will ,detain you no longer, but merely to offer my sincere prayers that happiness and prospe rity may attend you all, in your public and private concerns." The Council then proceeded to the- busirress of the Elenion, and after the usual forms had been gone through, and the necessary oaths taken and subscribed, the vote was put, when CHAR LES Ho - p e f Esq. His Majesty's Advocate, was unanimously chosen. • • The Eleetion being declared, JAMES JAct:sow, Esq. and CotiVRNER RANK7NR, immediately , went out to.acquaint his Lordship. - They soon returned, accompanied by the new Member, whom they con cluded to the Lord Provost, when his Lordship, in a very elegant and appropriate speech, intimated to the Lord Advocate, that. the Council had una nimously eledted him Representative in. Parliament for the City. • The Lord Advocate politely returned' his thanks to the Lord Provost, and the 'Members of Coun cil, for the honour they had Conferred .7uPon and addressed them at . considerable.length in a very elegant speech. In the afternoon, the Lord Advocate gave a splendid and sumptuous dinner to 'a very numerous company in George-street Assembly Rooms, con sisting of the Lord Provost, Nlagistrates and Council, a number of Nobility, the Judges of die Courts' of Session and Exchequer, &c. and a number of the most respeaable Gentlemen in the town and neighbourhood. The most clioise Wines were great abundance, and the desert was served up witii great taste and elegance. • The Edinburgh Papers• received this 'morning, give at great length the Evidence on the Trial of the four persons belonging to the Ross and CromartY Rangers, accused of Murder on the 4th of June last , at Aberdeen. On Friday evening the Justiciary Court adjourned till eleven o'clock on Saturday, the Evidence for the Prosecution nyt having .been gone through. We shall lay before our Readers the Proceedings on this Trial, which is rather of all interesting nature. It 'was formerly mentioned, that the. herring fishery in t!..: Tay had failed of success. -We+awe the pleasure to notice, that since that time it has considerably improved—the price runs about i Bs. per crane—upwards of one hunkired boats are daily employed :=-Some of them catch from ON to eight cranes ;tnd upwards the tish.corers are' blisy. From Balmenno down to Broughty Castle; during the Rood title, the river is covered with fishing craft—a scene at once lively and interesting. The quality of the fish is said to be good. The Reveren d LOTHBEIIT juIINSON BAINDS, A. M. of Pembroke College, in the University of Oxford, and Chaplain to the Right lion. the Earl of flomp, has been instituted by the Lord gtstror of LINCOLN into the Vicarage of St. Ives, With the Chapelries of Oldhurst anti Woodhnrst an. nexed. On the Isth December died, at Oporto, jotirt, WHITEHEAU, Esq. in the 76th yearsofhis age,. +i years His Majesty's Consulat that place..;-.l4'ew men have been endowed with greater natural or acrired talents.

Hi s Funeral was attended by the Natives of a ll ranks, b ot h i n and_ out of office by all his Countrymen, and every Foreigner in thc place—tliey were all his friends. It seldom happen , that a man is so truly regretted by all classes. OE. the sentiments of his own Countrymen, the follow ing unanimous Resolutions of the Factory best ex• press their sense of his merit : At a Meeting of the Factory, held at the Faaory House, the 16th December, 1802, resolved, That the remains of the late JOHN WHITEHEAD; .Esq. • our much respened Consul, be iiiterreci on Sattirday the 18th inst. at twelve &el( ck, in the centre of the burial.ground, and (deviating from the esta• blished rule) id respell to his memory, That a handsoine and most expressive Monument he erected at the expellee of the Fattory. And it being the desire of the Fattory to pay every - O%lWe attention, that the Treasurer consult the wishes ei his Nephew, WILLIAM WARRE, Esq. on thiA occasion. That our Public - Balls be discontinued until Christmas ; and that the Faaory put themselYo into Mourning until that time: Early on Sunday morning last a fire wr vereti breaking out in one of the stables be to the George Inn, in Christchurch, whi happily soon extinguished by the vigilat adivity of the men belonging to the Horse A and the inhabitants of the town, but not stable was entirely consumed, and eight principal horses belonging to the Artillct, burnt to death.
