SCOTCH SEQUESTRATION.

ROBERT CLARKSON, china dealer, Leith, July 24 and
Aug. 8, at two, at the Royal Exchange, Leith.

The following anecdote of her Majesty, illustrative
of her sound judgment and of her kind and affectionate feelings
towards the Queen Dowager, may be relied on. On Monday
last, Col. Wood, of Littleton, one of the executors of our late
lamented Monarch, William the Fourth, waited on her Ma-
jesty relative to the disposal of some of his late Majesty's pro-
perty, when, on his pressing the Queen for an answer on one
of the points, her Majesty, with much firmness, said, " I
would rather think about that matter first—perhaps I shall let
you know to-morrow my determination on the subject." Col.
Wood then said he had another favour to beg of her Majesty,
which was, that the Queen Dowager had a great partiality for
a few trifling articles of furniture which had been favourites
with her lamented Consort, but which she did not wish to
disturb, or to remove from Windsor Castle, without leave ;
to which her Majesty with great emotion immediately re-
plied, " Oh, my dear Colonel, let the dear Queen have them
by all means, and any thing else in the Castle which she may
desire."

ANECDOTE OF QUEEN ELIZABETII.—An anec-
dote is told, which exhibits Queen Elizabeth's character in a
peculiar light, and explains in some degree the secret of that
love and veneration which was always shown to her by the
people. While the Queen was rowed in her barge on the
Thames, attended by her courtiers, a shot was fired, which
wounded one of the bargemen ; an enquiry was commenced on
the spot, and finding it was done by accident, she immediately
gave the person his liberty, without further punishment or in-
vestigation. So far was she, indeed, from entertaining any
suspicion against her people, that she was often heard to say,
" she would lend credit to nothing against them that parents
would not believe of their own children."—James's Memoirs
of Celebrated Women.
MUNGO PARK'S SON.—It was at Accra that Mr.
Thomas Park, son of the celebrated traveller, was landed as a
midshipman from the Sybille, with three years' leave of ab-
sence, to travel into the interior, and search for his father.
1-he was a fine tall Scotch lad, only 19 years of age, and with-
out any knowledge of the world. His death has been com-
monly ascribed to poison, administered to him in vengeance for
haring imprudently ascended a fetiche or sacred tree ; but the
real cause was his obstinacy in rejecting the advice of the resi-
dent merchants of Accra. He lived for three months in the
town, and though he had frequent invitations to take up his
quarters with the Europeans, he preferred remaining in a hut
with designing natives, who plundered him. There he indulged
in drinking spirits, married an Accra wife by way of learning
the language, though the dialect at Accra is totally different
from those in the interior ; and took long walks in the heat of
the day, with the view of hardening himself. The consequence
of these imprudences was, that when he set out to cross the
Volta his constitution was already completely broken ; he was
thin and weak ; he caught a fever after a few marches, and fell
another victim to African discovery.—Alexander's Voyage.

PitisLEY.—We regret to state that the prospects
we have held out of an improvement in trade for the two last
weeks have not been realised. Some heavy failures in the
shawl trade, and severe losses sustained by several manufac-
turing houses, have again damped the brightening prospect,
and have been the cause of a considerable number of work-
men being thrown idle. The men employed by the relief Com-
mittee this week stand at the extraordinary number of 1,989,
and the wives and children dependent on them at 8,067. The
applicants at the soup kitchen have remained nearly stationary
as to numbers since this day week, the number of portions
given out running about 1,800. We have again had a remit-
tance from our kind friends at Edinburgh, who altcgether have
sent to Paisley not less than from 1,5001. to 1,6001. We are
sorry to learn that the Edinburgh subscription is nearly ex-
hausted, and we really do not know how the misery is to be met
after being deprived of such a source of supply.—Glasgow
Chronicle.
