Tn, Lent Parini:nos Rolmltriott.-011 the
death of the late Professor Robertson, of Edinburgh, it wee
felt that there ought to be some public tribute of respect
to his memory and recognition of his laborious and dis-
interested services in projecting, and in *great measure
accomplishing, the erection and endowment of 150 additional
parishes in the poorest districts of Scotland, where the
means of religious instruction were altogether deficient. A
number of his friends and supporters conceived that the
most apprapriate memorial would be the completion of the
great work which he had undertake°, and efforts were at
once made to procure the necessary funds. The appeal
which Professor Robertson, just before his death, had-con-
templated to his countrymen in London on behalf of his
scheme, was made on Saturday evening by means of a din-
ner in the Freemasons Tavern. The Duke of Argyll pre-
sided, and among those present were the Duke of Maitre's,
Lord Elcho, M.P., Sir J. D. Elphiustone, ILP., Sir James
Fergueson, M.P., Sir Charlet M'Gregor, Mr. Black, M.P.,
Mr. W. Miller, M.P., Sheriff Lusk, the Rev. Dr. Norman
M'lsiod, of Glasgow, Major-General Matheson, he. The
noble chairman, Dr. li'Leod, and other speakers bore
testimony to the seal and perseverance with which Pro-
fessor Robertson devoted himself to the endowment
scheme, and to the benefits which it has con-
ferred on the country. More efficient ministers can
be procured for permanent parochial charges than for
chapels of. ease, where the income is fluctuating sad inse-
cure; and the subdivision of very large parishes and dis-
junction of those which have been improperly united enable
the ministers to discharge their duties in a more satisfactory
manner. The disparity between the numbers of the popu-
lation 'which he. inczeased with great rapidity within the
last half-century) and the meaty means of spiritual lustre°.
tile' at the disposal of the church of Scotland has thus been
greatly lessened. Much, however, still remains to be done
in the same direction ; and the managers of the commemo-
ration fund make an wgent appeal for subscriptions to com-
plete the useful scheme of thee Dr. Robertson.
A CLAINVOYANTE AND HU. SINK IN TNOUBLL
—On Thursday a squalid, laded-looking Milividml, named
John Davis, and his daughter, Mary Riley, alias "Little
Mary," who were stated by their neighbours in Trueman-
street, where they lived, to be necromancers, were charged
before Messrs. Chilton and Corbally, at the police court,
with bevies obtained money ou false pretences. It ap-
peared that the prisoners had been driving a tolerably good
trade for some time paid, and for the last few months had
regularly informed the public, though the medium of the
daily pipers, that " Little Mary, the celebrated Liverpool
clairvoyant., may be 000sulted, whilst in the Orme-meg-
netic sleep, upon matters of general interest, at 11, Truemax.
street, daily, from the hours of twelve, noon, until nine,
evening ; terms, ss. per hour." This announcement caught
the eye of Mary Quinn, the wife of • working man, who,
on Saturday night last, lost • mantle from her house, where
she had a number of lodgers. She had seen the advertise-
ment in the papers, and having also been informed by some
of her neighbours that "Little Mary," the female prisoner,
could tell her who had Melee her property, she thought she
would consult her. Accordingly, on Tuesday &Remove, she
went to the prisoner's house, and asked Davis to tell her
who luid carried off her mantle. He directed his daughter to
sit down, took hold of her thumbs, then waved his hands,
made mysterious signs, and ina short time "Little Mary" fell
asleep, and was to all spie4rsooc unconscious of anything.
Wittiest then, acting upon the old nia7fsdirectiettli iK.O:rOd
the clairvoyant. a description of the person who had stolen
her garment. She did so, and by this description Mrs.
Quinn recognised the wife of one of her lodgers es the
thief indieated. Mrs. Quinn next inquired if this person
had any children, and was informed that she had, and had
cut up the mantle for the purpose of making a blouse for
one of them. The prosecutes, having paid • consulting
fee of helf.a.cmon, went home and charged the wife of
Lodge Madden, a cordwainer, one of her ledgers, with
stealing her mantle. Mrs. Madden was indignant at
such a charge being made against her, and acquainted
her husband with the fact. He proceeded to the
prisouer's house, and informed Davie that he
" had come to hear some mysterious tale by way of
fortune telling." Mr. Madden having paid the usual coo-
saltation fee, ' Little Mary" was sent to sleep in the men-
tor already described. He then asked her if she could tell
him his motive in going there. She was not clever enough
to do that, but revealed to him that the thief who carried
off Mrs. Quinn's mantle was the wife of a seafaring man,
and hail a family of two or three children. Knowing that
this description did not answer that of his wife, he thought
there was something wrong ; the police were acquainted
with the circumstances of the case. and hence the present
position of the prisoners, who were each seat need to a
month's imprisonuieut.—Liverpool Albion.
