SATURDAY. at an extraordinary Mee - tint of the LORD PR OVOST, .Magistrates, and Council of Edin burgh, a letter was read from the Right Hon: Lord Viscotint MiLittLir, announcing his elevation to the Peerage; and thanking them for the honour they had so repeatedly conferred on him, in chusing him their Representative. A letter was also read from the Right Hun. the LORD ADVOCATE, an. nouncing hid ntention of offering - himself a - candi date to reptesent the City in Parliament, in the room of Lord Viscount WIELmi.,2.—A letter was voted to their late Representative, thinking him for the great services done by him, both to his country and native city, and congratulating him cm the honour so deservedly 'conferred on him by his Sovereign. We understand the eleaion of a Member of Par liament for this City is to take place on Tuesday next. In pursuance of instrudions from the Magistrates, a number of the carts with coals were examined and Weighed yesterday, and, we .are sorry to say, that only one out of many was found just. The Ma. gistrates forfeited the coals in eight of the most faulty, and sent them to the Charity Workhouse, and direded the names of the drivers to be pub. lisped. The attention of the Magistrates of Glasgow has been lately taken up with the following rather sin gular case. About eight days ago, information was given at the Procurator Fiscal's office, that a tumour prevailed that Eiji. Walker, wife of Robert Coch. rave, carter in the Dovehill, who had died suddenly, and been then two days buried, had owed her death to the maltreatment of her husband. The Ma. gistrates immediately caused a precognition to be taken, by Which it was established, that Coch. cane had behaved with much barbarity to his wife for some time past, and that, in particular, he had wounded her on the head with a pan, some days before her death. The Magistrates hereupon ordered the body of the deceased to be lifted from the grave, and inspeaed by a phy. sieian and surgeon of respeElability ; but •their re port did not confirm the suspicions arising from the precognition. On the contrary, they found the wound on the head to have been merely su. perficial, and that there was no mark of violetice upon any other part of the body. • In consequence of this, Cochrane, who had beep imprisoned, has been, admitted to bail, being still open to prosecu. tiun for the assault on his deceased wife. On Thursday evening, while some people were .bringii , g in a quantity.of whisky to Aberdeen, they were . met at the Bridge of Dee by the Officers - of Excise, when . a desperate encounter ensued ; in which some hard blows were dealt on both sides.— The Excise Officers, however, got the superiority, and succeeded in bringing the whisky to town, to. settler with seven horses which were carrying it. Yesterday and this day .the MagiStrates sen tenced four sturdy beggars to be confined in Bride_ well, they having been a nuisance anapest to the inhabitants far nigh a week past, bawling on the streets, and pretending to he wounded seamen, When; on inspection and examination, they were found to be impostors.

The following Literary Anecdote is given in A French Paper, as told by MDR LaLikrive: After the first 'Volumes of the Etricee/apedis. , had been criticised by the Jesuits in the journal de Tre , ..oux, the Encyclopedists revenged themselves by decrying the College of Jesuits, in an article relating to that Institution. This attack was answered by THOLO MAS, Professor of Rhetoric at Lyons, who havin g made use of a passageof , ertikur necpater me , rer, it Was construed by DAL Shill ERT into a re. fleaion upon his birth. The latter immediately wrote to the Academy at Lyons so intemperate a letter, that the Jesuits thought their best revenge would he to publish it. He wished TtfoLottms to he expelled the Academy, which was of course not complied with, but he prevailed upon Mar:TY:rows and some other young enthusiasts, to give up their Academical Letters and withdraw front the Inititoz don; This circumstance is reckoned among the first causes which gave rise to that hatred of the Jesuits, which was evinced by the Encyclopedists. rfhe Banaivirta, MAtinte,"from Newfoundland to i Poole ' is put into Dfracomlie. r k • ,•1 YESTERE;Nir rwri Seri, anti. of Lord li/out :mot. nice ,brought before Sir ita ctiAtto FOIL) AIM TlTO i.tio Ron 1:45 . 0r1, Esq., charged with stealing phirc; wearing.apparel, and other property, of his.
