THE LATE BURNINGS.

(From the Boston Gazette of Tuesday.)
We are sorry to announce that the horrible system of
burning farming produce is extending into the neighbour-
hood of Louth. Niue corn stacks, and one straw stack,
valued together at about 600/., were burnt on the premises
of Mr. Mower, of South Heston, in the night of Saturday
I ist ; and we have just learned that a stark of earn was
burnt belonging to Mr. Kemp, of Swaby, last Sunday night.

There has b;i.n also a fire at Muckton, but we have not
learned particulars.
A hay-stack belonging to Mr. John llandsley, of Irby,
was burned on Fi iday night.
STAMFORD, MONDAY Maim—There have been alarm•
ing rumours here through the day of mischievous mobs in
the neighbouring parts of Huntingdonshire and Northamp-
tonshire, and about a hundred gentlemen and tradesmen of
Stamford on horseback, and armed with firearms and
swords, are gone thither, headed by Sir John Trollope,
Bart. From the latest accounts brought in, there seems
to be very little foundation for the frightful rumours which
have been circulated,

A foot and horse patrol is being raised at Spalding rod
its vicinity to act against the lawless depredators who are
making soup near approeches to this part of the country.
A number of special constables were sworn in yesterday
at FalkinEharn for the same purpose.
We understand that the Lord Lieutenant of the county
has written to the several magistrates► recommending
ar►ued associations for the protection of property.
We cannot allow even the relation of the most interest-
ing and important event in the political world to prevent
us from deprecating and deploring that incendiary spirit,
the progress of which appears to be advancing so rapidly
over England.

CHASSE, the celebrated French singer, pre-
senting himself one evening at the door of the C-omedie
Francaise without his admission ticket, was refused en-
trance. " Sir," said he pompously to the door-keeper,
"I em CHASSI, from the Opera." " Very well," re-
plied the man, "and now you are chaise (driven away)
from the Comedic Francaise," at the ham time shutting
the door in his face.

FCSSELI'S LECTURES.—A second series of
Lectures on Painting, delivered at the Hoye) Academy by
Mr Fusrmt, is just published. The first series established
the fame of the author as the supreme of modern critics
on art; and the second volume is considered to be worthy
of the elevated rank of the first. The subjects of the
lectures are, design ; colour in fresco ; nil painting ; pro-
portions of the human frame, with directions to the stu-
dent in copying the life ; Historical Painting, and remarks
on the present state of the art. These Lectures, with
those in the first series, complete the circle of criticism
and Instruction which their celebrated author regarded as
the chief object of his professional life.

An application, we believe, was made by
some of the heads, Nome of the hot heads of the Purple
and Orange party, to solicit Colonel PxxL to attempt the
revival of the faded colours in Norwich. The Colonel
has not taken leave of his senses. He is a most respect-
able gentleman, and it really would have grieved us had
he listened for one single instant to the suggestions of such
deceitful partizan.. Distress has made reformers of us all ;
and they who could flatter him with the hope of re-ani-
mating, is his person, the ghost of a departed Ministry
must either have tlinught him ignorant of the affairs of this
mortal world, or have been utterly ignorant themselves.--

SCOTTISH HOSPITAL.—The St. Andrew's
anniversary of this excellent institution was celebrated by
a dinner at the Albion Tavern on Tuesday ; the Duke of
GORDON in the Choir. His Grace had been elected Pre-
!lidera of the Hospital, in consequence of the accession of
his present MAJKITY, who was the President, to the
throne. As Duke of CLAWCW, his Maims' was a
most assiduous supporter and munificent patron of this
excellent charity. It is raid that lie lass given an
assurance of his desire still to forward its objects ;
and the recommendation of so popular a Noble-
man to succeed him is the hest evidence of his sin-
cerity. His Grace the Duke of Goanote entered
upon his charitable offices with all that zeal which
is the beat security for future success. There being two
meetings in the course of the year, the St. Andrew's

even a more numerous assemblage than at the spring
meeting, the collection being more than 9501., a sum
unusually great. We have so often explained the objects
and advocated the cause of this excellent charity, that it
would be needles. farther to call publio attention to the
'subject.
The declaration of the new Ministers in Par-
liament within a few hour* after they had received the
seal* of office formed the most perfect contrast possible to
the heartless anal vague professions of the late Government.
'' It is the firm' and fixed resolution of myself and my
colleagues," said Lord Garr, "to cut off with an un«
sparing hand all that is not demanded for the interests,
the honour, and the welfare of the country." And as A
pledge of their sincerity, he added, that " they had already
cut off some plots which had been the subject
of discussion elsewhere," alluding to the Lords of the
Treasury being put at the heads of the different Boards of
Excise, Customs, and Stamps. It is intended to abolish
forthwith the places of Vies-Treasurer of Ireland, and that
of Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance. The salary of
the Master of the Mint, toy, is saved by its union with the
Presidentship of the Board of Trade. It is also the lotto-
tion of Ministers to tusks, a considerable reduction in their
own salaries: to the amount of a third it has been ru-
moured. This is beginning at the right end. Lord Gattv
stated that he should originate a measure for the Reform
of Parliament, under the sanction of the Etna; and that
to relieve the distrese in different pacts of the kingdom
would be the most anxious end of the deliberation of a
Cabinet Council, summoned to assemble on that very
night; but that it was the determined resolution of the
Ministry to suppress all outrages with vigour anal severity.
This is right. Let Government earnestly and honestly
Net alma relieving the distress of the people end there will
soon be no occasion for restraining their excesses, for they
will no longer he excited to constnit them. Such relief
will be more effective than a hundred fire-engine*. The
Pretnlersa declaration on the foreign relations of the country
is equally satisfactory Our true policy," said he, "is
to maintain universal peace, and therefore the first object
of this country ought to he non-interference." Herein+.
ment, the Continuance of Peace, Refrain ; these are the
three things wanted. The country makes a demand for Re-
trenchment. What said the Duke of WltLiancrt»t ?
Take the cheese•parings and candle's ends of office ;
take the rasping' of the loaves and the hones of the fishes."
The country demands non-interfet eases in the affairs of
other nations as the heat security for peace. The Duke
quibbles; he parries the dement! with pretexts and sub-
terfoges' to gain time, while the .Emperor of Russia is
putting his army on a War Establishment, and Belgium is
in feet- of a Holy Alliance. Lastly, the country demands
Reform. The Duke no longer quibbles, he fires a point.
blank shot with the mottosyllairle N. The entire nation
is reused into hostility against him at the report ; but
luckily the gun burst at the discharge, and the Noble Duke
ieceived a mortal wound from the splinters. Peee,, to his

FORFAR.--•A requisition, signed by some of the
respectable part of the community, was, a kw 'days
ago, handed to Provost Smith, requesting 'him so
cell a meeting for the purpose of considering the
propriety of petitioning both Bailees of Parliament
for Parliamentary and Borough Reform. The Pro-
vost attended to the call; and oil Tuesday a ,ineet.
ing was held in ,the Council Chamber, the .Proenq
in the Chair. The meeting unanimously "greed
that Reform was necessary, and that a petition to
that effect should be presented. A Committee was
then appointed for the purpose of preparing drafts
of resolutions and petitions, to be submitted to a
general meeting of the Magiatratee, Town Council,
burgesses, and householders, to be convened by the
Provost, as soon as the Committee base made the
necessary preparations. The Provost, and Bellies
Whyte and Brown, are of the Committee. The
former is convener.—Dundee Advertiser,

KlRKALDV,—lmmediately on the result of Sir
Henry Parnell's late motion -being announced in the
Newspapers, a number of gentlemen agreed in hold
a meeting in Low's inn, " for the purpoie of ex-
pressing their satisfaction at the breaking up of the
Duke of Wellington's obnoxious Administration,"
and of considering the best mode of getting up is
petition for Parliamentary and Burgh Reform. 'Die
meeting accordingly took place on Tuesday evening,
and after having. reviewed the proceedings of the
defunct Ministry, and " given the Duke his due,"
they drank his dirge in merry fithion, and with the
ardent wish that " we may not look upon his like
again." Reform next occupied the attention of the
meeting, which unanimously and decidedly ex-
pressed themselves in favour of election by ballot.
Considering the apathy that prevails throughout
Scotland in general, and in this town in patticulet,
as regards the political interests of the community.
the meeting were of opinion that the sense of the
general meeting, to be held on Tuesday next, should
be taken on the propriety of establishing a Political
Union, after the manner of Reform has been 44-
cut.sed.—Fife Herald.

We are glad to find the spirit of Reform spread-
ing through Fife. A requisition, most respectably
signed, has been addressed to Wm. Swan, Esq.
Provost of Kirkaldy, requesting him, on an early
day, to call a meeting of the inhabitants, for the
purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning
Parliament " for the extension of the Elective Fran-
chise, both in the Counties and Boroughs of Scot-
land ;" and on this occasion, as on every other, the
present Chief Magistrate has promptly met this
wishes of his fellow citizens, by appointing a meet-
ing far that purpose, to be held in the Town-house,
on Tuesday next.—Ayr Advertiser.
We understand that, at a meeting of the Town
Council of Ayr, held yesterday, a series of Resolu-
tions were unanimously passed in favour of an extru-
sion of the franchise, both as regards the Legislative
and Municipal Representation of Scotland, and pe-
titions, founded on these Resolutions, agreed to be
presented to both Houses of Parliament,—Mid.
KINGllOltN...—.Lord Loughborough has intimated
to his constituents here, in the most courteous
manner, his intention to present to the House of
ICommons their petition in favour of Parliamentary
' Reform, " although he cannot conscientiously sup-
port the prayer of it, as he doss not consider this a
favourable or well-chosen time for agitating the
(motion of Reform at all." Sir James Chantal, Sir
Ronald Pergusson, Mr. Denman, and Mr. Hemp, in
acknowledging the receipt of the copies of the peti-
tion sent to them, have, however, stated their in-
tentien to support the prayer of it.
AUCIITERICICHTY, Nov. 23--This day theist
were sent of from this place, to both Houses of
Parliament, two petition. for Parliamentary and
Burgh Reform. E4ch of them was signed by nearly..
400 of the most respectable, wealthy, and intelli-
gent inhabitants of the town, including its Ministers,
its parochial schoolmaster, with other two esteemed
teachers. The proportion of Burgesses was about
99 to ZOO, with a large part of the Town Council,
including all its independent Members, the Magi-
strates excepted, with their few adherents.--.We
Herold.

GLASGOW.—Those in the management of our
Royal Burghs cannot but now be aware that the
present close system has not minty more months
perhaps weeks, to live; and therefore they would
do well to nick. a virtue of necessity, by coming
forward, and showing a cordial readiness to promote
what have evidently become the intentions of Go-
vernment. l'he declarations of the new Ministry
leave no room for doubt on this point; but, in ad-
dition to these, we have to state the farther corro-
borative fact, that the various Slierith in Seotlinid
have just received orders from the Home Depart-
ment Office to transmit, with the least possible de-
lay, a return of sit persons renting property iu
burghs to the amount of ten pounds and upwards.
This order, perhaps, originates solely front Mr. Ken-
nedy's motion for such returns from Scotland; .yet
it is highly probable that now the Government will
coincide with the views of that honoursbits and in-
dependent gentleman, and adopt his returns as the
basis of its contemplated measures.—Glasgoto Fins
Press.

BOROVOII olr CALNP CAR .—ft is said that
Parliamentary law is little understood ; and at all events
it is not easy to comprehend the decision on the Caine pe-
tition. Mr. Wynx, ►he Chairman, who himself trained
the last Election Act, stated that the petitioners should
not be allowed to go into proof of their ease, because a
previous determination had finally settled the right of elmi-
tion in that borough so clearly and explicitly, that it nei-
ther required nor admitted any explanation; and yet the
Committee then, without having heard any evidence them-
selves, declared * resoluties, in whisk siwy added Arlie-
planation of their own to the hat determination. The
decision, under all the eirounistances, bar occasioned much -
surprise.
