commemorate her Majesty's lauding at that port, on her
visit to the wilds of Athol. Lord l'anmure, the tither of the

The delay in executing the work has arisen from the amount
subneribed nut being equal to the estimated
DISEASE IN Tittts.- In various parts of the parish of
Elgin, in the parish of Kinknoi, and other districts, the leaves
of the poplar, and other delicate fibres, present the identical
black and withered espeet of the stem of the potato. The
poplar is particularly attacked, weuse leaves present a
slim, Heil and decayed form contrasted with the hardy
green of the oak and fir in the woods.
STATE or CHlllli IN EDINIII uoit—The superintendent
of the Edinburgh County l'olice has published his annual
return of the crimes and offences report d by his tune from
of July, 1844, to the 110th of June, 11446. The tables,
which are arranged with gnat perspicuity, exhibit au in-
crease under the principal head, viz., those tried before the
High Court of J uatieiary, butt this is to be attributed to no
lees than 13 having been tried and convicted for being coll-
et:flied iu the serious riser at Fusltie Bridge during last
summer. Leon the average there is a decrease of comic-
thaw, which Pc very satisfactory, when we ( .7ler-
r 'try) reflect that neatly 4,000 additional lalaiurers from
uarious parts have been employed on the railways now
forming within the county. 't here Las been an increase of
petty offences under the general turnpike net, which was to
bee spurted from the great additional traffic in eunveying
matt r alt. for the railway Nitrations. Un the whole the re-
turns may be regarded as eery tavourabie.

LANCASIIIRE.
THE POST-OFFICE IN Lol OLT COMPLAINED OF by the
Liverpool papers. The Mercury of yesterday concludes a long
article upon the subject with the following e vie, which, if
corr«.t, tells V 4.1 y strongly against the existing manugement.
--!• The city of -Cheer is only about It miles from Liver-
pool; 12 railway train from each end run between these
towns daily, from early in the mumble till late at night, and
yet ut no business hour of the day eau a man en Inusiness in
either town write to a person in the other town and receive
out answer on the same day. Nor is this all. Ifa letter be
dropped into the box at Liverpool after 6 o'clock in the even-
ing, it will not be delivered by the carriers in Chester till
alter 11 o'clock the next day. It is a fact, proving how com-
pletely the Post... Alice has of late been mesmerized, that the
morning mail is not despatched by the first train, that is,
at 6 o'clock, nor by the second train at 7 o'clock, but
by the third train, namely, at eight o'clock, so that when it
arrives at Chester the carriers are all out, delivering the.
London and aouth letters, after performing which service.
they return to sort the Liverpool and north letters, and
sally out again at eleven, so that, at a few streets distance,
letters and paps rs do not reach their destination till Mkt •
noon day. l'he despatch by the first train would be its time
for the Ant delivery ; and if the north of England letters d
not arrive in Liverpool early enough, they ought to be set it
by the first truiu after they errive. There are twelve trai as
during the day, but mails arc only
.despatched by two. of
them; and strnnge to say, the two trams so used are nut" her
the first in the morning, to reach Chester fur the first
nor the teat at night to serve the Liverpool law
ideeuli:Thery.
So Siren HAS TYPHES INCREASED of late, say A the
Lirerpuul Mercury of that the recent mine 'lance-
waent that the Fere r liospit:d was full has been fu dewed
by most painful circumstances. Further accumm elation
*sight to be provided immediately. A pour frieudle so Irish
servant girl the other day, suffering from incipient typhus,
was advised by a medical gentleman to apply to V se parish
for shelter and assistance. Weak as she was, she walked to
the proper office, thence to Bruwnlow-hill, and was there
refused admittance. She returned to the gen'aeman in a
state bordering on despair, and had to wend the greater
portion of' the little money she possessed met .r hire before
she obtained shelter, and where she succeed, Al in doing so
we have not heard. There ought to lie a temporary ad-
ditional fever hospital opened at once; and seeing how
necessary this is, it will be obvious that pies entive measures
ought to be adopted with more energy thart ever. Death is
making extraordinary havoc in the tov.n just now, from
causes, too, which might be avoided.
A Puntie MEETIND was held on Tuesday, in the l'oetico,
Newington, for the purpose of forming an instiVation, to
have for its object " the iatellectual and spiritual improve-
ment of Sunday-school teachers," and the fer..nishing of
means to aid them in their educational efforts. Upwards of
600 persons were present and various resclutions were
adopted.
