THE INIUSSULMAN, OR LIFE IN TURKEY.

--This popular wonk opens on the mdat famous spot in
the world—the plain of Troy ; and the period of time
supposed to be occupied by the story is so recent that the
various details entered into throughout the volumes may
be described as applying to the present state of manners,
society, scenery, &c. in the various sports of the Ewen*
world, which the author so ably d-picts. That Dr. MAD-
DM; should have experienced innumerable obstacles in the
prosecution of his researches, while in Turkey (on several
occasions he narrowly escaped with his life) is not sur-
prising from the well known jealousy of the Turkish
character, but his countrymen may congratulate him on
having been enabled to surmount them all, and to present
them with a work which kas been justly pronounced
by a leading critic—" one of the greatest literary curiosities
of the age."
We have heard of another fire in the Isle of

Wight, a hay-rick, the property of Mr. Jowl's% or
Godshill-park, having been consumed on Thursday. The
Glasgow Courier, received yesterday, gives an account of
no lest than four fires which have occurred in that city,

though it is hoped that none of them arose wilfully..
The cotton-mill of Mr. ALLAN, at Kirbriuie, Scotland,
was burnt down on Wednesday morning.
At dusk, on Wednesday evening, a fire was
observed in the lower edge of the thatched roof of a house
containing a threshing-machine, which spread to an ad-
joining barn, containing thirty b igs of unthrethed bar-
ley ; the whole was rapidly conrumed, with two cottages
adjacent. The Newton Abbott engine was quickly
brought out, but the mischief could only be arrested in
its further progress. Water was plentiful a few yards from
the fire, but to the lasting disgrace of the labourers of
Abbotscarwell, the greater part of there mood in a body
expressing a fiendlike enjoyment of the scene before them.
The estate belongs to Gaol= LEY, Esq. of Cockington,
and the farm is held at rent by Mr. THOMAS ELLIOT, who
will sustain a severe loss, as the barley, &c. was unin-
sured. Mr. ELLIOT received a threatenieg letter a few
days since, as have other farmers in the neighbourhood,
and no doubt exists but the above fire is the execrable set
of some miscreant incendiary.— Western Times.
A melancholy accident occurred at Loch
Katrine, on the night of Friday last. DONALD' STEWART,
Stroin, and Gaoaoe MACFARLANE, etalichtat had been
in Callender that day, piying their tents; and on their re-
turn home stopped at Trosache inn. After they left tl:e
inn, STEWAXT gave MACE-ARLAN E his 110E4. About the
end of Loch Katrine the horse stopped at a burn to drink,
and ivritwaar went on ; and as his companion did nut
come up, he sat down by the road side and fell weep,
In the interval the horse arrived at Stroin without a rider,
and the saddle turned beneath his belly. -Next morning
search for the unfortunate man was made, and his body
was found in the lake. The place from which he had
fallen is frightful and dangerous. The road is cut out of
the side of an almost perpendicular rock, at the height of
thirty feet from the surface of the loeb, anti is so narrow
as scarcely to admit of a man walking by the side of a
cart,. and is without a parapet, or any safeguard,— Glas•

,ONDON, TUESDAY EVE

MEETING for REFORM at ST. ANDREWS

(Abridged from the Fife Herald of Thulalay.)

In consequence of an advertisement signed by
Dr. John Hunter, at the request of a number of
gentlemen, a meeting took plaCe in the Town.ludi
of St Andrew's on Saturday last, in order to pre-
pare petitions to the Legklatore tin the subject of
Parliamentary Reform. Application huh previously
been made to Provost Haig, to have the meeting.
summoned and held under his auspices; a request
with which that gentleman had declined to comply.
The meeting was most numerously and respect-
ably attended; of members of the University, there
were present Dr. John Hunter, Professor Alexan-
der, Dr._ Gillespie, and Professor Duncan.

Dr. John Iltinter who had called the meeting,
entered the room a little after one o'clock, and -nes
received with loud applause. •
Mr. SMALL took the chair. They need not be
told of the great progress which Reform had made
in the public, favoui; or how much it was demanded
by the situation of the country but one circum-
stance of the- most ,cheering nature' he coulsl not
omit ; the monarch of these kingdoms was the great
reformer of the ege—(Much applause)—and in
their present course they were only following at a
humble distance the steps of the, best Sovereign
who ever swayed the sceptre of Britain—(Applause)
—they were only realising the wishes of the most
honest, the most able, and the most intrepid admi-
nistration which we had ever seen. The whole
country joined in' the 'feeling which this meeting
had assembled to express; and at the very moment
when he was speaking, there was assembled in the
great city of Glasgow.a meeting under the auspices-
of the Lord Provost, for the same sacred purpose;
thus east joined with west, and the farthest extre-
mities of the country- were united in one object.
Still he regretted that in this city, the Chief Magis-
trate bad not thought it proper to preside, and to
grace the meeting by the dignity of his high its-
(ion.

Mr. DALRYMPLIt begged to propose the first reso-
lution which had been prepared by the committee.
He should not say much in support of this resolu-
tion ; it needed neither defence, nor explanation.
It had_ been, said that as Government had taken up
,the subject of Reform, there was no need to agitate
the public mind concerning it, especially at a time
of-so much excitement; but it must be recollected
that, Ministers will meet with many opponents in
their endeavours to carry this question through
Parliament ; there are numbers of powerful and
wealthy noblemen, whose interests will urge theme
to every exertion againstit ; Ministers must there-
fore be supported by the voice of .the nation; the
people must petition, and make their rights and their
wishes known, that the borough-holders may see the
necessity of yielding : if this is not done, and if the
Ministers are,not supported, they may be forced to
resign in consequence of the failurieof their under-
takings; a change of Government must ensue ; and
every such change is an impediment to business,
and a loss to the nutlet'. Iris not therefore officious
interfeteece with Government to petition; but it is
a due and most necessity support to them in mea-
sures which can not otherwise be successful.- Pub-
lic opinion becomes every day stronger and stronger;
every day more deference is paid to it; and no Go-
vernMent stands on a sound or safe foundation,
which does not possess it for a basis; let us there.
fore spew that our present Government possesses
that safeguard. In other countries the changes de-
manded by the altered circumstances of society, can
only, be produced by revolution: but in our happily
formed Constitution there is a self-regulating power,
by which it is enabled easily to accouneoNv itself
to the changing exigencies of the time; unt of this
power the right to petition, which we are nollisinet
to exercise, is one of the principal elements.
Mr, JoHN HAY had much pleasure in seconding
the resolution.
Mr. DEMPSTER having been requested to propose
the second resolution, felt it necessary to make a
few observations in reference to the object of the
meeting. Every one conversant with history knew
that after many struggles, the Constitution of this
country had been at inst eceblished in a satisfectory
form, in the year MSS, by what was called the Bill
of Right.; in this shape it met at that time with
the approbAtion of all good mon—it was justly
termed our glorious Constitution—it was the envy
of all nations—and its excellent qualities had
been proved in many exigencies; but though
perfect as far as the occasions of that period
required, it had been found defective when ap-
plied to the altered circumstances of after years;
and there had from time to time been a
necessity for introducing changes, as the habits of
the people changed, and as the relations of the
country both externs' and internal became modified.
It was now a notorious fact that though still
abundantly effective in all its more important and
nobler plate, it had become unhealthy and cor-
rupt in some of the minor functions. Popula-
tion had increased threefold, the wealth of the
country had quadrupled: and it was well known
that the growth of luxury consequent on these had a
tendency to corrupt all the institutions of a nation.
Many proofs of this could be produced from history,
but none was more remarkable than that of Rome:
in early times the virtue of the people rendered laws
almost unnecessary; their patriotism had been the
defence and salvation of the State : the very geese
of the capitol by their cackling could defeat un
army,—(Laughter.)—But Rome, alas, by luxury
and depinvity had fallen from her high estate: the
geese were no longer on their guard; and the bar-
barians of the north rushing in, hurled the nation
from the earth. In like manner the British nation,
had from various causes become changed ; and it ,
was now necessary to introduce some alteration into
her institutions in order to prevent a similar catnip
trophe. It might be asked where was thtrevidence
of change? But let any one look round at the
severe commercial distresses which had pressed on
the country from one end to the other, and which
had produced such Agitation and commotLn among
her -people, and say, if there had been no change?
In Scotland these distresses had been borne decently
and with fortitude; but in England it had been far
otherwise, and consequences yet more disastrous
might be anticipated. It was well, therefore, that
we had seen our danger before it was too late, and
the object of such meetings as the present was to
consult together in order to correct the errors which
had been committed—for all had been in fault, the
people as well as the tioveinment. The corruption
and supineness_of the people had
prevented them
from exercising their right of petition, and of stating
their grievances: the errors of the Govonment had
accumulated, from its views not being in unison
with the sentiments of the people. Now, however,
the people had resolved to state their wishes. and
to petition for the right of sending to Parliament
such" repreeentatives as will conscientiously perform
theWduty to the nation. I propose the second re-
solution for the adoption of the tneeting.
The resolution was aecOnded by Pt ofessor
DUSCAN.

Professor ALEXANDER, in moving the third reso-
lution, said, it is no party question, but one public
arid national, which has brought us together;--
mooted not for private ends, fur less with. factious
purposes, but in the behalf of Scotland; claiming
for her u due participation in the privileges of the
Constitution; and that the evils of her repre,eora-
tive or rather no-representative systentshould be
finally and for ever aboliblied,—(4planse.)—lt is
