The would-be martyr (Mr. John Martin) continues
to elude the vigilance of the police, and the return to
the commissioners at Post: our this evening was
" Non est inrentus." His friends say that he will re-
main incognito until within a day or two of the next
commission of oyer and teyminer, when he will
certainly surrender and put himself on his country.
Toe Freeman's .I.urnal states that the private re-

The club system goes on vigorously. At Nenagh
the "O'Meara and Fulton Club" met on Sunday, when
two drapers'assistants" from Ulster" spoke, "per the
ell," on legislative independence. Mr. Fitzpatrick
suggested "a procession to Templederry, to visit the
friends of the expatriated Mitch'. I," a piece of good
sense which was loudly applauded. John Connor, "a
discharged soldier," was admitted a member, where-
upon Mr. Fitzpatrick Stated his delight " to see the
old soldiers coming among us, they can drill us by
and by." Is the manumitted soldier a pensioner?

Norbury stands at the head of the list of defaulters
fur a large amount of rates ?

SCOTLAND.
EDINBURGH, JULY 6.
. .

Tae annuity-tax, or ministers' stipend disturbance,
is casting its snados s behind. A placard, calling
attention to the contemplated co-operation of the
military, bore, from the imprint, to have issued from
the offica of the Sailfish Press newspaper, a new
journal, in the dissenting interest; and on the morn-
ing of the riot a communication was sent by the
procurator-fiscal to the proprietors, to the effect that
they would be held responsible if any bre..ch of the
peace took place. The Press denies a I accountability,
and, in spite of the threatened prosecution, hints
plainly that the sheriff and his assistants had not
taken the best means fur repressing disorder. A
more serious matter is the case of Bailie Stott. At a
recent meeting of the town council, this gentleman
declared his intention of not paying the annuity-tax ;
and being a magistrate, this statement caused bents
sensation. Humours of all kinds are current. One
is, that the Home Secretary has been instituting
inquiries, with a view to the withdrawal of Mr.
Stutt's name from the commission of the peace ; and
another, that, instead of attaching his goods, the
church rig( nts contemplate the attachment cf his
person. But, be these things as they may, decrcet
has been obtained against the bailie, so that matters
will soon be rite for the settlement of his case. Two
parties charged with participation in the riots were
tried before Bailie Stott yesterday. The one was
bound over to keep the peace; as no case could be
made out against the other, he was dismissed, with a
truly constitutional address regarding the supremacy
of law. A church war is also going on in Dundee.
One of the ministers there has "asked for more"
stipend than the funds of the town will allow. The
I lord ordinary has decided in his favour, and the
magistrates have appealed to thu Inner Court of
I Sesaise.
