So much for past and present Rejoicing in the heraldic learning of the Courant, and partially aware of the value attached to bold assertion, whether true or false, ;the Time* gives utterance to the hich we have quoted at the commencement of these observations; and waxing audacious on the strength of his northern alliance, our friend the thunderer adven tures a flash of his theatrical lightning-, wherewith to scathe the Scottish claims; with over-weening arrogance he launches his leaden bolt,—a ribbald sneer at BANNoes puux, and triumphantly assumes that he has laid the agitation and the agitators for ever in the dust. The bad taste of such an escapade is not more conspicuous than is its divergence from the usual caution which regulates the movements of the Times. On many a blood-stained field—on many an ensanguined deck, since the day on which the Scottish Marathon was fought, have our Cale donian brethren proved how sensitively, how devotedly sentiment of national honour—side they are alive to the ide with Albion's sons, in ninny a fray they have proudly sustained the glory of the British arms ; and every true-hearted Englishman will join in indignant on which Scottish men wrote in our country's bravest blood an interpretation of their national motto, NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSIT, in characters which the sunshine of nearly six centuries have been unable As for o conduct their own not the conclusion ,nce of what ;hem to conduct al the profe e world and ti Whether the subject of heraldic precedency of: the Scottish arms in Scotland is to be looked on as a question of courtesy, or maintained as a matter of right,—wiXether such claim shall be gracefully conceded or churlishly withheld, the quartering of the Scottish contingent upon t issue in this controversy. The grievances complained of by the Scottish National Association, besides the heraldic one, are of an eminently practical, and easily understood character.

Gi.PB OB GOOD Ihm—The South ~3 5.1.761-4 Corninew,. ciatAdrertiser of the: nth ,of September states that " The colonial estimates: presented to) the Legislatiwo, Council exhibit for 1854 a serious p:nbaltie decrease of. revenue and increase , of expenditure. _ The revenue: `is estimated at 1:228,811 15s, and thee expenditure at L'45,091 9s. 6d. Difference against the , revenue, £16,27 1, Ad_ tL In former years the - revenuweeeived has gene rally greatly exceeded the estimated reunite. In 1852,, the revenue received amo un t e d to ££284,146165. 3d ex ceeding the estimates by about a fourth of the whole. But that year, and some others, broutinto action many temporary sources of revenue, on which it would be im prudent to calculate for 1854. There, therefore, every chance of a deficient revenue for next year—a deficiency not likely to short of £40,000. or £50,000. In the course of the last 20 years the revenue and expenditure have risen from about £130,000 to £280,000, witheni, any considerable augmentation of exieang taxes, whilp..som4 have been reduced or abolished. They increase has arisen mainly from the •growth of the colony, and augmented consumption of articles taxed. The chief augmentation was in the Customs in 1847. 1114-,1846 the revenue• from the Customs villa £100,759 ; in 18•M,it was 4.:143,816; in 1841 it was only £48,058. It is probable, therefore, That financiers will:look to this sour(* ) in the first instance, to make up the apprehended defic:aney for 1854., With the exception ot , cofree, sugar, tea, rice, tobacco, and a few other articles, the present duty is—on British-goods £5, and on foreign, XL% for every £lO4 in value.. Supposing the imports that pay duty to be £1,200,000, an average rise of ift 4 per cent. on the whole woultl,be required to meet the deficiency."

C~isr ?OBET( THE WAR IN TURKEY, The. letters from Constantinople,. of the lath, declare that the report of an armistice between the Turks and Russians, often repeated, and as often contradicted, has no foundation. Orders, on the contrary, have been for warded to Abdi Pacha, the commander-in-chief of the Turkish forces in Asia, to advance as actively as possible. A combined Turkish and Egyptian squadron is to cruise on the, coast of Asia to support his operations. A report that the Turkish government is about to issue paper money is also denied. AL de la Cour, having left Constantinople in the Solon, arrived at Trieste on the 30th. It is again asserted that the first regiment of Osten Sacken's corps passed through Jassy on the 12th ult. But the German papers publish letters to the 17th, in which it is positively affirmed that to that date nothing had been seen of the Russian reinforcements on any point of the Pruth. Letters from Trieste announce that the Turks have ob tained further advantages in Asia. They not only defended successfully Fort St. Nicholas, but captured the fortresses of Usurgheti and Souchoum Kaleh. It is added that the 3eorgian people are favourable to the Turks. The Rus sians, in attempting to land 1,500 men at Batoum, met with a severe repulse. It blew a rather heavy gale at the time, and a well-directed fire from the battery almost im mediately sunk the large transport steamer with the troops, and all perished excepting 27, who were conveyed, ' per steamer, to Constantinople.. The Russians have as ' sailgd Shefkatil five times, hoping to regain their lost laurels, but hitherto in vain. A despatch from Vienna, of the 20th ult, says the Turks are still at Kalafat. They have evacuated the island of Moknan, opposite Routchouk, for the very good reason that it is overflowed by the river, which has risen to a great height. Kalafat is strongly fortified and gar risoned. Another despatch, dated Vienna the Ist instant, states that the Turks, on the 26th, had constructed a bridge between Routchuok and the island of Moknan, having on the previous 11,7 advimeed from Kalafat twelve By the stear Orinoco we have intelligence from ca to the'llth 'alt.

Tiar French CO3ektitationnegives the followinint, eating account of Sehaniyl, the: celebrated Circassian chief, whose recent appearance in the plains of Geora, and victory over the Russians, wc.mentioned last week;-- " - Schamyl has-,been often- compared to Abd-al,Kader, and there is, in fact, some• analogy between the two leaders. Both.. arrived at the chief commani by the prestige of then religious inspiration, more even than by their courage and, persenat: ability. Both have had for object the enfranchisement of their race, and the fusion of the tribes which compose it, wider the authority of their sole chief, But Abdel-Kader was only hadji, and he was obligod.to borrow from civilisation a part of his resources to.maintain himself so long. Sekonyl aimed higher ; he ad himself upae a second prophet. of Islamism ; he declared-liimself sent by God to complete the work of Mahomet, and particularly to fuse into onethe two great divisions of, Omar and Ali : he persuaded his followers that Allah.dictated to him his will in periodical visions, and in that way he succeeded in creating around him an indo mitable and, deveted bod,y of troops, whose blind obedience does nokg,ive way before any danger, ar i d whose religious. enthusiiism is capable. of the greatest, efforts. Schamyl, is at present fifty-six,years of age. He is a man of misldle ' size, but of a determined appearance,. His private life resembles that of Abd-el-Kader, heinsober and austere, and divided between prayer and action. His career as a warrior began 1834. His predecessors in the, war were ; , first, Scheick-Mausour, then, Khasi MolLsh, and then,Hainsal Bo The death of this last gave. him, at the.age of thirty-seven, the supreme authority over the Massulinan tribes of the Caucasus 4 and then began that struggle of twenty years, which has already cost Russia more than; the subjugation of Poland. It would be, wrong, however, to look on Schamyl as. the uncontested leader of all the tribes of the Caucasus. That chain of mountains separating Europe from Asia, between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, is itself cut into two parts. by the narrow pass_ of Darien, through which winds the military road from Musdok to Tiflis. Tothe right of that pass, coming from. Russia to the Caspian Sea, extends, the real empire of Schamyl, inhabited by Tehetchens.. On the left, to the, Black Sea, the tribes-, known by the- generic name of Tcherkesses (Circassians) do not recognise his authority, and are not even at open war with Russia. Only, as the national hatred and the religious creeds of these two fac tions of the Caucasus are nearly the same, it is easy to comprehend that, if circumstances favoured a general. rising, the Sultan and the Prophet of the Daghestan would soon become the Sultan and Prophet of all the Circassian districts, and in that case the fine provinces of Georgia,. and of Imertia, left without communication with Europe, might very easily pay Turkey the cost of the impious war now stirred. up against her. As to tte incidents of the war between Schamyl and the Russians, they are but little known. The Muscovite policy is to conceal its internal wounds,. and to allow Europe to hear only the bulletins of victory, often without foundation. But there are certain details and certain results which always in the end come to light. The war of the Caucasus has lasted for fifty three years, and has worn out the ablest generals of Rus sia—Zizianod, Yermoloff, Grablee, Sass, Neidharf, Rosen, and Paskiewich ; it has destroyed her best troops, and has become a complete object of dread for the regiments sent in that direction. It has cost immense sums to the Russian empire ; and notwithstanding all the efforts made, it is at present so little advanced that the General-in-Chief, PrinceWoronzoff does not consider himself safe in hispalace at Tiflis, and asks for 120,000 men from his Government to maintain himself in Georgia. The Prince, still Gover nor-General of the Caucasus, if caught between tl - men of Schamyl and the regular troops of Le horse- would find himself in a very en. Falposj man_Empire has three fleets on the Black Sea, to keep in check the two squadrons of Russia. It is known already that amunition•and officers have been sent by the Porte to Schamyl. Should hostilities commence, the Tcherkesses could not resist following in the wake of their co-religionists, and yielding to the prestige of their leader, and in that case there would, perhaps, commence for the Government of St. Petersburgh, one of those expiations of Providence which avenge the public feeling. The Caucasus; besides, has nothing to gain in civilization by its connexion with Russia. There will always be more true liberty, more justice, and more enlightened reforms on the side of the young sovereign who protects equally all religions, and who carries out the promises of Gulhane, than on the side of the autocrat, who has never respected the independence and nationality of the nations in the Nlcinity of his va4t. empirek" ROMAN TIC WEDDINC —A marring under the following man, resident in Canada, was engaged to a lady in England.
