CHINA. (From our Second Edition of Tuesday last.) By the Overland, accounts have been received from Hong Kong and Canton as late as the 26th July. A fire bad broken out at Canton, but by great exertions on the part of the Chine,,e Governor and the English residents and sailors, it was fortunately subdued without occasion ing much damage. The latest date from England was April 6. A copy of the treaty brought home by Colonel Malcolm is among the documents furnished, and em braces every apparent provision for a future amicable understanding. As far as we can ascertain, the mer- RUMOURED ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.—Both the Prussian Gazette and the Augs burg Gazette make mention of an alleged attempt on the life of the Emperor of Russia on the 19th ult. The for mer paper says that either a gun or pistol was fired at a late hour in the evening close to the Imperial Chancery's carriage when it was passing the Wallischei suburbs. The Augsburg Gazelle says, " It is rumoured that twenty shots were fired at the Emperor and his suite, and that by a miracle nobody was wounded." It is not known whe ther the occurrence arose from design or inadvertence. Some persons in the neighbourhood heard the explosion, but deeming it a joyful demonstration, took no notice of it. Several arrests have taken place at Warsaw; nd a plot against the life of the Emperor was talked of. The The investigation at the latter city will probable show whether the alleged machinations there be connected with the alleged attempt at Posen. Loss or THE MEMNON. — Further particulars. --On Thursday week a brief and hastily written letter from a gentleman at Aden, connected with the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, was received by their secretary, which communicates the gratifying intel ligence that there were only seven instead of one hundred and seventy passengers, who endured the personal suffer ing and loss of property consequent on the wreck of the ill-fated steamer. Five of these were enabled to react► Aden in safety; the remaining two, a lady and gentle man, were, at the time the letter was sent off, with the crew, encamped at a village called Uloolah, about twenty miles from the scene of the wreck. On their mach to Utoolah their fatigue and sufferings must have been very great, as the heat was so intolerable as to affect one of the crew with brain fever, and who, melancholy to relate, in a fit of delirium, dashed out his brains against a rock. A steam-boat had been dispatched from Aden to fetch the above unfortunate individuals from Uloolab, who will be brought to England in a few days by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company's vessel, the Oriental. A DANCER IN TROUBLE.—A letter from Berlin states that Mademoiselle Lola Montez, the Spanish dancer, who has been for some time much admired iu that city for her great talent, is likely to be put in prison for some time. The day of the grand review she was present on horseback, and kept at some distance from the royal crrleye. When, however, the firing began her horse took fright, and rushed amongst the suite of the two sovereigns. A gen darme ordered her to fall back, and at the same time gave a blow with the flat of his sabreto her horse. Feeling ir ritated at such a liberty, she struck the man across the face with her whip. He was cool enough to keep quiet, and merely lodged a complaint against her. The next day a hussier handed her a summons to appear in court to answer the charge. As soon as she learned what the paper meant, she tore it in pieces, and threw it her feet. The hussier at once went for the public force, and had her arrested for having manifested marks of disrespect to the orders of justice —a misdemeanour punishable with from three to five years imprisonment. Mademoiselle Montez, who is the daughter of a deceased Spanish general, is only 19 years of age. chants are highly satisfied with the treaty. Sir H. Pot tinger had formally assumed the government of Hong Kong on the 26th June; the city on the northern side of the island heine named after her Majesty, " Victoria." A Legislative Council was appointed, magistrates and other civil officers had been installed, and the whole pos session seems to show signs of rapid growth. Mention is made of the loss of a vessel believed not before to have been noticed, viz., of the Alcmene, Capt. Galbraith, from Bombay to China, lost on Ceram Lant. The crew and a considerable part of the cargo were saved. and taken first to Banda by the Dutch war schooner Argo. The Spanish governor of the Philippine Islands arrived out on the 11th June. INDIA. The military news of the month does not possess much The Hyderabad force had returned to that station. There was a great paucity of European officers at Kur rachee and Sukker. Lieut. Horne, the Adjutant of the 55th Regiment, was drowned by the upsetting of a boat in the Khypore dis trict. All officers on staff employ, belonging to corps in Sinde, bad been ordered to join their regiments. The amount of prize-money at Hyderabad is likely to prove very considerable. The troops employed in Scinde at the end of Jnne amounted to about 16,000 men, and a wing of the 78th and of the 2d Bombay Light Infantry had been sent to Kurrachee from Bombay. A large force was stated to be assembling for duty in the Punjaub, on account of recent disturbances there. SPAIN. Telegraphic derpatches have been received to the fol- lowing effect " BAYONNE, Oct. B.—The elections of Malaga and Castalon are for the parliamentary party. They are for the oppo-ition at Almeira, which rose on the Ist, and pro - claimed the central junta. The elections of Pontavedra are equally favourable to the opposition. " General Concha left Madrid on the evening of the 3d. in order to assume the command of the army of Aragon." " BAYONNE, Ca. 10.—There was an attempt at a ris ing in Grendda, on the 27th September. There was fight ins ; some persons were wounded. Order was established. There was no change on the 2d at Almeira, and on the 7th at Saragossa." " PERPIGNAN, Oct. 10.—On the 7th, the junta at tempted to storm the citadel of Barcelona, with 1000 of the 1500 men disposable. They were repulsed with th e loss of 80 men. Bosch, the vice-president of the junta, was mortally wounded. In consequence of this attack the citadel and forts fired on the town. The firing ceased in the evening, and did not recommence on the Bth. The forts fired only when they were provoked." The Paris correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette says that numerous applications continue to be made for the hand of the Queen of Spain. The family of Francisco de Paula, the house of Coburg; the Courts of Naples and Lucca, are endeavouring to exercise their influence with the five powers, whilst the latt er appear to h ave l a id as id e their pretensions. The propriety of the marriage of the queen with the eldest son of Don Carlos is now recognized by France, as well as by England, and this is undoubtedly an important step towards an arrangement between the five powers. The difficulties, however, are far from being removed. The conditions on which this marriage is to be effected, are not yet determined on. France and England cannot grant to the Prince of Asturias more than the title of the queen's husband. The conservative courts will pro bably yield on this point, particularly as the rights of the prince and those of the queen meet, and are consolidated by their succession. In supposing that the courts yield on this point, a new obstacle will soon arise, and the abdi cation of Don Carlos in favour of his son, would not suit the new combination. The disposition and opinion of the Cortes, also, must not he forgotten. It will be difficult to lead them to a similar determination. GREECE The revolution in Greece seems to have settled down very quietly.

Pilots.—Whenever a British merchantman shall arrive off any of the five ports opened to trade, viz., Canton, Fuchow, Amoy, Ningpo, or Shanghai, pilots shall be allowed to take her immediately into port; and, in like manner, when such British ship shall have settled all legal duties and changes, and is about to return home, pilots shall be immediately granted to take her out to sea, with out any stoppage or delay. Regarding the remuneration to be given these pilots, that will be equitably settled by the British consul ap pointed to each particular port, who will determine it with due reference to the distance gene over, the risk run, &c. 11. Custom-house Guards.—The Chinese suprintendent of customs at each port will adopt the means that he may judge most proper to prevent the revenue suffering by fraud or smuggling. Whenever the pilot shall have brought any British merchantman into port, the superin tendent of customs will depute one or two trusty custom house officers, whose duty it will be to watch against frauds on the revenue. These will either live in a boat of their own or stay on board the English ship, as may best suit their convenience. Their food and expenses will be supplied them from day to day by the custom-house, and they may not exact any fees whatever, from either com mander or consignee. Should they violate this regula tion, they shall be punished proportionately to the amount so exacted. 111. Masters of Ships reporting themselves on arrival. —Whenever a British vessel shall have cast anchor at any one of the above-mentioned ports. the Captain will, within twenty• four hours after his arrival, proceed to the British Consulate, and deposit his ship's papers, bills of lading, manifest, &c., in the hands of the Consul ; failing to do which, he will subject himself to a penalty of nit donors. For presenting a false manifee, the penalty will be 500 dollars. For breaking bulk and commencing to discharge before due perunis , :ion shall be obtained, the penalty will he 500 --- --A ---4 4 --t;nn of the goods so di s charged. taken cos,e! , sion of the ship's pp- The Consul, Lay 'ill immediately scud a Custou I the Sul.

IV Commercial Dealings between English and Chi nese ilerchantv.—lt havinz ben stipulated that English merchants mar trade pith whatever merchants they please, should any Chinese merchant fraudulently abscond or incur debts which he is unable to discharge, the Chinese authorities, upon complaint being made thereof, will, of course, do their utmost to bring the offender to justice. It must, however, he distinctly understood that, if the defaulter really cannot be found, or be dead, or bankrupt, and there be not wherewithal to pay, the English mer chants may not appeal to the former custom of the Hong merchants paying for one another, and can no longer ex pect to hive their losses made good to them V. Tonnage Dues.—Every English merchantman, on entering any one of the above-mentioned five ports, shall pay tonnage dues at the rate of five mace per register ton in full of all charges. The fees formerly levied on entry and departure of every description are henceforth abo lished. VI. Import and Export Duties.—Goods. whether im ported into or exported from any one of the above. mentioned five ports, are henceforth to be taxed according to the tariff as now fixed and agreed upon, and no further sums ate to be levied beyond those which are specified in the tariff ; all duties incurred by an English merchant vessel, whether on goods imported or exported. or in the shape of tonnage dues. must first be paid up in full, which done, the Superintendent of Customs will grant a port clearance, and this being shown to the British consul, he will thereupon return the ship's papers, and permit the vessel to depart. VII. Examination of Goods at the Custom-house.--- Every English merchant having cargo to load or discharge must give due intimation thereof, and hand particulars of the same to the Consul, who will immediately despatch a recognised linguish of his own establishment to commu nicate the particulars to the Superintendent of Customs, that the goods may be duly examined. and neither party subjected to loss. The English merchant must also have a properly qualified person on the spot to attend to his interests when his goods are being examined for duty ; otherwise, should there be complaints, these cannot be attended to. Regarding such goods as are subject by the tariff to an ad valorem duty, if the English merchants cannot agree with the Chinese officer in fixing a value, then each party shall call two or three merchants to look at the goods, and the highest price at which any of these merchants would be willing to purchase shall be assumed as the value of the goods. To fix the tare on any articles, such as tea :if the English merchant cannot agree with the custom-house officer, then each party shall choose so many cheats out of every 100, which being first weighed in gross, shall after wards be tared, and the average tare upon these chests shall be assumed as the tare upon the whole, and upon this principle shall the tare be fixed upon all other goods in packages. If there should still be any disputed points which cannot be settled, the English merchant may appeal to the Consul, who will communicate the particulars of the case to the Superintendent of Customs, that it may be equitably arranged ; but the appeal must be made on the same day, or it will not be. regarded. While such points are still open, the Superintendent of Customs will delay to insert the same in his books, thus affording an oppor tunity that the merits of the case may be duly tried and I sifted. VIII. Manner of Paying the Duties.—lt is herein be fore provided that every English vessel that enters any one of the five ports shall pay all duties and tonnage dues before she he permitted to depart. The Superintendent of Customs will select certain shroffs, or banking estab lishments, of known stability, to whom he will give licenses authorising them to receive duties from the English mer chants on behalf of government, and the receipts of these shroffs for any money paid them shall be considered as a government voucher. In the paying of these duties, different kinds of foreign money may be made use of. but as foreign money is not of equal purity with sycee silver, the English Consuls appointed to the different ports will, according to time, place and circumstances, arrange with the Superintendent of Customs at each port what coins may he taken in payment, and what per tentage may be necessary to make them equal to standard or pure silver. IX. Weights and Measures.—Sets of balance yards for the weighing of goods, of money weights, and of measures, prepared in exact conformity to those hitherto in use at the Custom-house of Canton, and duly stamped and sealed in proof thereof. will be kept in possession of the Superintendent of Customs, and also at the British Con sulate. at each of the five ports, and these shall be the standards by which all duties shall be charged and all sums paid to government. In case of any dispute arising between British merchants and the Chinese officers of Customs regarding the weights or measures of goods, re ference shall be made to these standards, and disputes decided accordingly. X. Lighters or Cargo Boats.—Whenever an English merchant shall have to load or discharge cargo, he may hire whatever kind of lighter or cargo boat he pleases, and the sum to be paid for such boar can be settled between the parties themselves without the interference of govern ment. The number of these boats shall not be limited, nor shall a monopoly of them be granted to any parties. If any smuggling take place in them, the offenders will, of course, be punished according to law. Should any of these boat people, while engaged in conveying goods for English merchants, fraudulently abscond with the property. the Chinese authorities will do their best to apprehend them ; but at the same time the English merchants must take every due precaution for the safety of their goods. Xl. Transshipm nts of Goods.—lsh, English merchant ships may transship goods without special permission; should any urgent case happen where transshipment is necessary, the circumstance must first be submitted to the Consul, who will give a certificate to that effect, and the Superintendent of Customs will then send a special officer to be present at the transshipment. If any one presumes to transship without such permission being asked for and obtained, the whole of the goods so illicitly transshipped will be confiscated. XII. Subordinate Consular Officers.—At any place selected for the anchorage of the English merchant ships, there may be appointed a subordinate consular officer of approved good conduct to exercise due control over the seaman and others. He must exert himself to prevent quarrels between the English seamen and natives, this being of the utmost importance. Should anything of the kind unfortunately take place, he will in like manner do his best to arrange it amicably. When sailors go on shore to walk, officers shall be required to accompany them, and should disturbances take place, such officers will be held responsible. The Chinese officers may not impede natives from coming alongside the ships to sell clothes or other necessaries to the sailors living on board. XI 11. Disputes between British Subjects and Chinese. Whenever a British subject has reason to complain of a Chinese, he must first proceed to the Consulate and state his grievance. The Consul will thereupon inquire into the merits of the case, and do his utmost to arrange it amicably. In like manner, if a Chinese have reason to complain of a British subject, he shall no less listen to his complaint and endeavour to settle it in a friendly manner. If an English merchant have occasion to ad dress the Chinese authorities, he shall send such address through the Consul, who will see that the language is be coming, and if otherwise will direct it to be changed, or will refuse to convey the address. If unfortunately any disputes take place of such a nature that the Consul can not arrange them amicably. then he shall require the as sistance of a Chinese officer, that they may together examine into the merits of the ease. and decide it equitably. Regarding the punishment of English criminals, the English government will enact the laws necessary to attain that end, and the Consul will be empowered to put them in force; and regarding the punishment of Chinese cri minals, these will be tried and punished by their own laws in the way provided for by the correspondenc e which took place at Nanking after the concluding of the peace. XIV. British Government Cruisers anchoring within the Ports.—An English Government cruizer will anchor within each of the five ports, that the Consul may have the means of better restraining sailors and others, and preventing disturbances. But these government cruisers are not to be put upon the same footing as merchant ves sels, for as they bring no merchandise and do not come to trade, they will of course pay neither duties nor charges. The resident Consul will keep the Superintendent of ; Customs duly informed of the arrival and departure of such government cruisers, that he may take his measures accordingly. XV. On the Security to be given for British Merchant Vessels.—lt has hitherto been the custom when an English vessel entered the port of Canton that a Chinese Hong merchant stood security for her, and all duties and charges were paid through such security merchant. But these security merchants being now done away with, it is understood that the British Consul will henceforth be security for all British merchant ships entering any of the aforesaid Chinese ports. 32 La l (while lead), ditto 33 Lead (red lead), ditto 31 Nlarble slabs, ditto 0 2 0 0 35 Mats (straw, rattan, bamboo, &c.) ditto. 0 2 0 0 36 Mother-o'-pearl ware, ditto 37 Musk, per catty.... 38 Nankeen and cotton cloth of all kinds, per 100 catties 39 Pictures, viz., large paintings, each .... 0 I 0 0 Rice paper pictures, per 100 pictures . 0 1 0 0 40 Paper fans, per 100 catties 0 5 0 0 41 Paper of all kinds, ditto 42 Pearls (i. e. false pearls), ditto 43 Preserves and sweetmeats of all kinds,do 0 5 0 0 44 Rattan work of all kinds, ditto 45 Rhubarb, ditto .. 46 Silk, raw, whether from Chekiang, Can ton, or elsewhere, all kinds, per 100 catties Course, or refuse silk, ditto Organzine, all kinds, ditto . .

ARREST OF A HORSE DEALER FOR A HIGHWAY ROBBERY COMMITTED 16 YEARS AGO.—Mr. John Brit ton, the Leicestershire horse dealer, after realising a com petency, and establishing himself in the world with every appearance of solidity, has been committed for trial on a charge of highway robbery, perpetrated in Somerset shire sixteen years ago! At that moment the county of Somerset was infested by a gang of highwaymen, led by John Britton, alias " Gipsy Jack," and a man named John Burton. On the occasion of Priddy fair, the at tacked and robbed several persons on the high road, and all but murdered two men named Hedge and Bartlett. Burton was taken, tried, convicted, and in August, 1827, executed at Taunton. Britton escaped and it was sup posed that he had left the country or committed suicide. But, about a month ago, a policeman saw Britton, the Leicestershire horse dealer, in Smithfield market, and felt persuaded that he was the Somersetshire highwayman. On inquiry be found that he was living at East Langton, and dealt largely in horses. He hesitated to arrest him, not knowing but that he might have been tried for his an cient offence, and punished according to law. The police man therefore made the matter known to his inspector, who instituted inquiries, and then had him apprehended at Waltham fair. He most positively denied that he was the man, asserted that Britton the h ighwayman had been executed, and stated that he was living in good credit at East Langton, with his wife. His protestations, however, availed him nothing; he was taken into Somersetshire, fully identified, and committed for trial. Fourteen years ago. says the Leicester Chronicle, he married Miss Mar tha Wo• dford, of the Coach and Horses Inn, Kibworth Harcourt; and, eight years afterwards, another wife came to East Langton, from Bristol, to prosecute him for bigamy ; but she, having (it is supposed) been bought off, suddenly disappeared from the village. He resided on his own property, and kept s evera l servan ts, but was not . so happy as to enjoy the es t eem o f hi s ne i g hb ours : they ill not be sorr y," says the, Chronicle, " if he should never return to Langton." UNIV . E !i!S IT Y AND C 1; RICA L NEWS The Times states that a circular has been signed by a majority of the resident clergy of the united bishoprics of Gloucester and Bristol, alleging that the union has been disadvantageous to the church. The Bishop of Exeter, in his recent charge delivered to the candidates for the sacred ministry, made the follow. ing observ. Lion on extempore preaching : " Avoid," said his lo;dahip, "extempore preaching, for it is a mark of either a conceited or idle disposition." DEATH OF THE DEAN OF LLANDAFF.—This venerable dignitary of the church (the Very Rev. John Prohyn) died on Thursday last, at Manor-house, Longhope, Glorester shire, in his 821 year. The deanery is one of the least lu crative in the church—the emoluments, we believe, nut exceeding £5OO per annum. SIR ROBERT PEW. AND CHURCH EXTENSION.—Sir Robert Peel, has, within these few days, forwarded a che que for £4,000 to the ecclesiastical commissioners, with the view of raistng a fund to meet the demand for the building of churches, which will ensue from the act that was passed in the lasi session.—English Churchman. The important Ecclesiastical office of the Archdeacon of Manchester has at len 4 th been formally created ; the necessary instrument having passed the Great Seal and been confirmed by the Queen in Council. The r ev . John Rushton is the newly-appointed Archdeacon. The juris diction of the Manchester Archr:eaconry will extend over the whole of the county of Lancaster south of the Rib ble ; and the office is constituted as a precursor to the intended Bishopric to be seated at Manchester.— Globe. THE PREMIER AND THE ECCLESIASTICAL COM MISSIONERS.—In reference to the letter from Sir Robert Peel to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, announcing a donation of £4,000, which appeared in our last impression, the Standard has the following remark : " The writer of the foregoing letter is, as all know, the Prime Minister, and First Lord of the Treasury. His official salary is £5,000 per annum, and this whole amount he has within three months given back to the people, in two sums--£l,OOO to the education fund, and here £4,000 to the fund for supplying the means of religious worship. These are the terms upon which the right hon. baronet serves. He devotes his talents and his toil to the service of his country, accepts the legal equivalent, and then gives that equivalent back, in a manner contrived with the in genuity of true benevolence, to do the utmost amount of good. We admire and respect Sir Robert Peel in all rela tions ; but in this instance we have a pride in presenting the Prime Minister of England to the nations of Europe. We should, we know, give offence. if we were to recapitu late all the acts of munificence which even the right hon. baronet's jealous care cannot keep entirely concealed, as even the two we have mentioned would be, were they not necessary for example. We trust that in these, at least, Sir Robert Peel will be imitated by all who, like him, have derived wealth from the labour of the people. In any case, it cannot be denied that the Premier " Serves his England for herself," like his great model Pitt. CHARGE OF PUSEYISM AMONGST OUR MISSION ARIES IN INDIA REFUTED.—The friends of Foreign Missionaries will, we have no doubt, be gratified by the following extract from a recent charge delivered by the Bishop of Madras, in which the freedom of the reverend labourers in the cause of the gospel, in India, from a par ticipation in the practice of the followers of Dr. Pusey is eloquently maintained. "So much misrepresentation has been circulated lately against the reverend missionaries of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, located in the different colonial dioceses, of which those resident in my own have not, I tear, been without their portion, that I feel it my duty to this vast mission ary diocese, over which it has pleased providence to call me to preside, and which I fully believe to be the rich est, and, perhaps, the whitest, field of missionary labour to be found in the whole world, to endeavour to repel it. We read from time to time, as the monthly mails arrive from England, dark hints of strange doings in the East; of a lingering after customs, if not of their open assump tion, which savour of the worst follies of Romanisrn, and of a leaning towards some of its most pernicious doc trines; in a word, of a taint of semi-popery plainly to be detected here, as elsewhere, among the missionaries of the venerable society. It is due, then, from me to my brethren, who are labouring fur Christ in my diocese, publicly to declare my firm persuasion, that there is not one missionary supported here, either by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, in Foreign Parts, or by the Church Missionary Society, who is not simply and sober ly a faithful, uncompromising clergyman of the Church of England, and that I could not wish for better men. The missionary church of this diocese is equally pure from extravagance and latitudinarianism." TESTIMONIAL TO THE WORSHIPFUL WILLIAM BRUCE KNIGHT, M.A., CHANCELLOR OF THE DIOCESE OF LLANDAFF.—The Lord Bishop of Landaff presided on Tuesday, the 3rd inst., at the Chapter house, and, atter a dinner, which was attended by nearly 100 of the clergy and gently of the neighbourhood, presented to the li.v. gentleman a chaste and elegant service of plate, consist ing altogether of nearly 800 ozs., manufactured by Messrs. Payne, of Bath, and a gold chronometer, by Ar nold.—The plate bears the family arms, and the following inscription : " Presented to the Rev. and Worshipful WILLIAM BRUCE KNIGHT, M.A., Chancellor of the Diocese of Landaff, and Treasurer to the Glamorganshire Clergy Charity Fund, by the whole body of the clergy, and a great portion of the laity of the diocese ; as a means of recording their unanimous sense of his ability and zeal in the discharge of his official duties, and of his unceasing and eminently successful exert ons in the cause of the widows and orphans of necessitous clergymen of the county of Glamorgan : Also, in token of affectionate attachment to him, as their companion, their gulch , and friend; of gratitude for advice and instruction always promptly and kindly given, both in public and in private; and of deep respect for his learning, h ' s talents, his labours in the ministry ; more especially for his unwearied efforts in promoting, within his jurisdiction, all the interests, spiritual and temporal, of our Holy Apostolical Church. 1843." THE SCOTCH CHURCH. RIOTS IN SCOTLAND.—The opposition to the installa tion of the newly-appointed ministers of the Church of Scotland, to supply the place of those who have seceded, is so violent in Ross shire, that 203 troops have been or dered to that county. FIELD PRE ACH ING.—We have heard of a friendly farmer in the west, who, in gratitude to God for the abundant harvest, has arranged the stacks in his stack yard in a circle, so that the sheltered space within may accommodate the Free Church of his parish.—Scottish Guardian. THE APPROACHING ASSEMBLY OP THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—Workmen are now busily employed in fitting up the City Hall for the accommodation of the General Assembly. The arrangement of the sittings, which we shall describe when it is completed, may be expected to be very convenient and satisfactory. The strongest in terest is felt by the public as the nove► and important occasion draws nigh.—Scottith Guardian. ROSSSHIRE.—On Saturday additional constables were sworn in, and a second meeting of the county gentlemen was held, attended by the lord-lieutenant, the convener, sheriffs, &c. Immediately after the meeting broke up, the authorities proceeded to Resolis, along with a body of the troops, for the purpose of introducing the minister to that parish to his pastoral charge and manse. The soldiers remained behind at the ferry-house, about two miles from the church, and Sheriff Cameron and Mr. Macbean accompanied the minister. About sixty persons were present, and no opposition was offered. In the after noon three more of the rioters were apprehended at Jemimaville, and lodged in Dingwall jail. The principal ringleaders are, we understand, still at large, some of them having left the district.—lnverness Courier. GOOD ADVICE.—We give the following anecdotes, which we find in general circulation, believing them to be substantially correct, and very creditable to the noble per sons concerned. A Rev. Doctor at Lambs, is said to to have written to the Duke of Hamilton, requesting his Grace not to grant a site for a free church in Annan, to which his Grace's reply is understood to have been—that he was quite capable of judging for himself and would not only grant a site, but wood and stone for the building— that these men (the free clergy) worked double tides, and if the Rev. Doctor would just do the same, " the Devil would not have a foot to stand upon in the island." A minister in East Lothian wrote to the Earl of H adding ton, requesting him to prevent a tenant from giving the use of his barn to a free Church minister, as he wished to keep him out of his parish, to which his Lordship re plied, that he was not in the habit of interfering with the use his tenants made of their barns, and that the true way to get the Free Churchman out of the parish was to " preach him out."— THE COURT. The Queen has appointed Elizabeth Marchioness of Douro to be one of the ladies of the bedchamber in ordi nary to her Majesty, in the room of Charlotte Duchess of Norfolk, resigned • and Charlotte Duchess of N or f o lk t o be an extra lady of bedchamber to her Majesty. Tiig GRAND DUKE MICHEL or Rossi/v.—The au gust Duke (only brother of the Emperor of all the Rus sias), is now on a visit to this country, and has partaken of the hospitality of Windsor Castle. Owing to the very dull period of the season when the Grand Duke has thought fit to visit this country, it will be impossible for the leading aristocracy to receive him in a manner gratify ing to him and creditable to themselves. His Imperial Highness, before leaving Windsor Castle, gave the muni ficent sum of £250, to be divided between the royal domestics. On Thursday morning this distinguished vi sitor arrived at the King's Arms Hotel, Lancaster, by railway, from London. His imperial highness was re ceived at the station by Jon. Dunn, Esq., the Mayor, and G. Burrow, Esq., chairman of directors, and pro ceeded on to the hotel, where he was occupied writing letters till noon, when he departed for the north, the dis patches having been sent off by courier south. Baron Brunow, the Russian ambassador, had arrived in Lan easter on VI ednesday night. The Grand Duke visits the Duke of Montrose in Scotland, and returns to town by way of York. Sir Robert and Lady Peel will entertain his Imperial Highness and suite, at Drayton Manor, on the 21st instant, when a distinguished party will assemble to meet tlut Grand Duke. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge ar rirt d at Corfu on the 19th instant as colonel in command of the troops in the lonian Islands. i~ ~3, Uct• ~~/ THE TtlflE COMMUTA the occupier -- nltn , iv,,,;:b(i l ,ly- t tte h hnn a i:t s h , m) l:een asserted that the tithe eoi--,toalit9so operates as a grievance to the o ccuPY ill r,b ill' te get rage price of grain ruling over the seven Y e- b 01 the payment, which, of course, never c3,9beriest,'lte corresponding with the prices on the Pi s " ! o cco'V necessarily will eventually make the Inut ua ,„ o . lie m tY e oe a ra r nttosi l; eat thehye valuet tithe-ownerch a e seo t . i f tb t t_ Th - ei o i tithe-owner nrijoees dirjruteccgcerhui.ela-arsi;:ecluici;pre;,bijed-slbri tween the tithe-payer and the tithe -00P t ot 741 square.
