THE MARQUIS OF HUNTLEY.—We under-
stand that by far the greater portion of his Lordship's
debts are due to private individuals. The oniy public
bodies who have claims on his Lordship are—the Tius-
tees for the Roman Catholic Clergy, 22,0001. ; the
Highland Society, 10,000/. ; the Bank of Scotland,
12,0001. ; the North of Scotland Bank, 10,000/. ; the
British Linen Company, 3,000/. ; and the Society of
Advocates in Aberdeen, 2,000/. The two first-men-
tioned sums are secured on the estates of Glengarry and
Lochabcr. Of the total amount of his Lordship's debts,
about 106,0001. are due in Aberdeenshire, 56,000/. in
Forfarshire, 7,000/. in Kircardineshire, 28,000/. in In-
verness-shire and the neighbouring counties, and 250,000/.
in Edinburgh and the south of Scotland.—Aberdeen
Constitutional.
DUKE OF ARGYLL.—As Lord John Campbell
has now succeeded to the Dukedom of Argyll, we uft
derstand he requires to pay to the beautiful and accom•
plished Miss Logan the sum of 5,000/., in addition to
the former sum of 10,000/., awarded against him for
breach of promise of marriage.—Refurnters' Gazette.
The great difference between the sums claimed
by proprietors, and the sum offered by Railway Com-
panies, for occupation of land, and damages, has fre-
quently excited remark and surprise. The difference in
the case of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, and
the Directors of the Glas.Tow Lunatic Asylum, pre-
sents, perhaps, a greater difference than was ever before
witnessed in the kingdom, and would almost lead to the
supposition that the claim had been made by the in-
mates rather than by the Directors. The first claim
made was 44,0001., but, before trial, this was reduced
to something a little above 10,000/. The sum awarded
by the Jury was 8731.—Paisley Advertiser.
PENNY POSTAGE.—More than two thousand
proposals from parties competing for the supply of
stamps, by a superior method, to he used in the collec-
tion of postage, are now lying before the Lords of the
Treasury.
Sir Edward Smyth, Bart., is rebuilding on a scale
of great splendour the interior of his new mansion in

Tories 225—majority 69.
The Durham Magistrates meet the 19th of next
month, and those of Northumberland on the 27th

Tithes were first granted in 854, and have ever
since they were diverted from their original purpose of
aiding and assisting the poor, been considered an annoy-
ance, for they may be justly considered a tax upon
arrive
and capital. No doubt the time. willr arrii •

ACCIDENT.—About nine o'clock this morning
s than and
a journeyman butcher named Hislop, living in Drury-
lane, in passing through Little Turnstile Holborn, with
a tray of meet on his shoulder, accidentally struck a boy
who was conning
.hy at the time a violent blow on the
eye, with the projecting corner of the tray. The
poor
little fellow fell, bleeding profusely, and he was so much
p
injured that it was found necessary to convey him to the
hos itai—his eye being completely knocked out.—[ll
Mr. Hawes and Mr. Wakley had turned their attention
to this dangerous nuisance, they would have been better
employed than in drawing up clauses to prevent boys
eying kites or trundling hoops.]
