Howard, a farmer in Thorpe. he' pauper didnot
commence his service until three or four days after he

ments of which they have been so long deprived) to the
slaves who have !Well sent back from Algiers by the English.
The ceremouy took place in the church of St. Maria Alla

at the lireast, to which rosaries were suspended. The many
boys among them walked between the Priests of the Order

A question of great importance, says a morning
paper, is to be tried this week betbre the new Jury
Court at Edinburgh, respecting a certain deed of settle-
ment of the late James Earl of Fife. An action was
brought in the Court of Sessions by his nephew, the
ptesent Earl, flir the reduction of that deed, on the
ground that it was not exccuttxl with the essential forms
required by law fir the conveyance of real property—
that the deed was signed by the late Earl at a time
when he was Mind—that it was not read over to him in
the presence of the witnesses, am'. that one of the wit-
nesses, whop name appears on the deed, was not pre-
sent when his Lordship signed it. To ascertain these
fiats, the muse was remitted to ti*Jury Court by the
Court of Session. A grist number of witnesses are
unmoned on both sides, who will be examined in
Court. The evidence of the I)uke of Cumberland,
Lord Erskine, and others, who were in the habit of fre-
quently seeing the Earl about that period, hare been
taken by commission in London. The present value of
the estates is upwards of 20,0001. a year.
The harvest has been extremely deficient in Italy, in-
Immuch that the Government had issued a decree al-
bowing the importation of wheat, rice, flour, oats, and
barley, of all kinds, free of duty, until the 31st of Aug.
