IMPORTANT.

From Saturday last, December 31, .1837, all articles sub-
ject to duty, either ad valorem or specific, imported on and
after that day: and paying more than twenty per cent. on their
invoice cost, will be entitled to a reduction of thirty per cent.
of the excess on such duty over and above twenty per cent.
It is understood that Captain floldrege of tile George Wash-
ington, the packet of the 24th, has received orders not to
enter New York until after the Ist of January ; thereby ena-
bling those who have goods on board to enjoy the benefit of
the reduction.
The New York Courier and Inquirer says:—" On and
after this day, in pursuance of Mr. Clay's Compromise Act,
of :Id March, 1833, in all cases where duties are imposed on
foreign imports, which shall exceed twenty per cent. on the
value thereof, one-tenth part of such excess will be deducted,
in addition to the two similar reductions which have already
taken place."—Morning Chronicle.

OUR NAVAL HEROES.—We pride ourselves on
our naval heroes during their life ; but we too soon forget them
when they cease to be capable of serving us. The most marked
exception to this truth is afforded in the case of Nelson, who
has given occasion to one of the most admirable pieces of bio-
graphy that was ever penned. We are, however, happy to
learn that a naval hero, only second to Nelson, and one to whom
Nelson himself owed the chief occasions of his fame—Re
al-
lude to Earl St. Vincent—is on the point of having similar
justice done to his merit, in the form of a " Life and Corres-
pondence," from the pen of Captain Brenton, to universally
and creditably known as the author of " The Naval History of
Great Britain." We understand that Captain Brenton enjoyed
peculiar facilities for the task he has undertaken, from his long
and intimate personal friendship with the Earl, and the unli-
mited access which he enjoyed to his entire correspondence
public as well as private. The result can scarcely be other
than a work of high and rare interest, and national importance.

A duel having lately taken place between a Captain
and a Major of Dragoons, in which the Captain tray killed,
the Minister of War has placed the survivor on the retired list,
has ordered the Major who acted as his second, to remain un-
der arrest for a month, and subjected the Captain who wa4
second to his adversary, and also the Colonel of the Regiment
for not preventing a meeting between a superior and an inferior
officer, to the same punishment for fifteen days. This decision
has been given out in general orders to all the regiments of
the division.

At the Circuit Court, Glasgow, on Thursday,
Thomas Riddle w•as tried for assault and intimidation, found
guilty in terms of his own confession, and sentenced to seven
years' transportation. He was one of the operative cotton_
spinners who had escaped ; but was lately caught, and brought
back from Manchester.

EFFECTS OF THE WEATHER.— 0 wing to the in-
tensity of the cold, the gas metre at the Unitarian chapel was
so completely frozen on Sunday evening last, that the congre-
gation was obliged to wait nearly halt an hour between the
water which had congealed in it could be thawed, and the
chapel properly lighted, which was at length effectually done
by pouring upon the metre a quantity of hot water. The gas
metre at the Wesleyan chapel was also similarly affected, and
the congregation was obliged to have recourse to what candles
they could procure at that untimely season, to enable the mi-
nister to conduct the service.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.

AN. THCIRIDAY, - I 18.—This day the twenty-third anniver-
vary meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held he the
.
Merchants' Court, Guildhall, in this town/ S'" Matthew
White Ridley, Bart., the President of thee Society, in the
cha'r. The Report was made in the usual way to the meet-
bg by Matthew Plumeeer, Esti., Vice-Presidentr of the Cham-
er and Treasurees, A sum of between 601. and 701. was added
to the funds :sr' the Society, after discharging all the obliga-
tions of 'Lie past year, making the actual aggregate amount of
the feinds 3751. 18s. I Id. The following were re-elected
offecers of the Institution for the ensuing year :—viz., Presi-
dent—. Sir Matthew White Ridley, Bart. ; Vice- Presidents-
-1:c seph Lamb, Esq., Matthew Plummer, Esq. —Treasurer--
Anthony Easterby, Esq. ; Committee—Messrs. James An-
derson, Thomas Clarke, Joseph Crawhall, William Armstrong,
Charles Smith, Thomas Wilson, Addison L. Potter, George
Thomas Dunn, George Straker, Russell Blackbird, Edward
H. Campbell, James Archbold ; Secretary and Sub-Treasurer
—Thomas Grieveson.
In the evening, between 30 and 40 of the members dined
tugetber at the Assembly Rooms, Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart.,
the President of the Chamber, in the Chair. The Hon. Ba-
ronet was supported on the right by the Hon. FL T. ,
Liddell
M. P., and on the left by J. H. Hinde, Eso,., M. P. ?eel M.
Bell, Esq., M. P. The Vice-President's cha;.-e was ably
filed by Matthew Plummer, Esq., in the abssence of Joseph
Lamb, Esq. At a few minutes before elx o'clock the com-
pany sat down to a splendid dinner. t: omprising every delicacy
and served up in Mr. Haiglds usSl le of excellence. At
the conclusion of the re[ast, andeaafter the desert had been
placed on the table,
The Cnetes'aisi rose and gave " her Majesty, the Queen ;"
which was speedily followed, also from the Chair, by the
i" Queeei Dowager," " the Duke of Sussex and the rest of the
oyal Family," and the " Lord Lieutenant of the County of
orthumberland."
The CHAIRMAN then rose and said the next toast which he
de to propose was one which could not be otherwise than
ell received by them : he had briefly to propose " Pros-tw-
t
rity to the Chamber of Commerce of Newcastle."—( 4-
plause.) There were many amongst the company who had
experienced the benefits which it had conferred upon the com-
merce of the town, and there was no on© reore aware of that
than the Vico- President, who was one of its earliest and most
strenuous supporters. He (the Ceairmais) was happy to say
that the finances of the company were in a tolerably prospe-
rous state ' • there was every probability of an increase in the
number of their members, and as the trade and commerce in
the north of England increased, so would they find an additional
increase to their valuable body. It was quite clear that the
trade both of Liverpool and Manchester had been very much
improved by similar associations, and he was happy to think
that the task had devolved upon him to propose the heath and
prosperity of such a society as the Chamber of Com-
merce.—(Applause.) This was the second time that he had
appear:Al amongst them as chairman of that society, and he
could assure them, that he felt new, as he did then ;—he felt
that there were many who were far more able to fill that situa-
tion than he was, but, at the same time, he felt proud of the
situation to which they had appointed him. He would at all
times be most willing and anxious to meet them all, indivi-
dually, and collectively, and get all the information from them
which his situation required. He could not refrain from hop-
ing that their numbers would still further increase, and that
the snowball would become larger in bulk as it rolled on. He
was satisfied that such a body must have considerable weight
with the Government of the country, whoever they might be,
and, in the hope that the benefits of the society would be ex-
tended throughout a much wider field than it had hitherto
occupied, he would conclude by calling upon them to drink
a bumper to the prosperity of the Chamber of Com-
merce.—(Applause. )
The CHAIRMAN said he had to propose to the meeting the
healths of two individnals, Members of Parliament, who were
very much interested in the prosperity of the commerce of this
town. One of them, he regretted to say, was necessarily ab-
sent, having recently suffered from severe indisposition ; bet
he (the Chairman) happened to know that the gentleman to
to whom he alluded was much better than he had been, and
that the danger might now be considered to be over. He
would beg to propose the healths of Mr. Hr,dgson Hinde and
Mr. Ord.--( Applause.)
Mr. J. H. Hoses said, on behalf of himself, he begged to
return them his sincere thaaka as one of their representatives,
d he was sure that Le might, on behalf of his colleague,
nder them his warmest thanks for the kindness with
hich they had ....frank his health. Differing
as he did, ge-
e rally, with Ilia Honourable Colleague In politics, yet
wherever .She interests of the town, its commerce, or the
prosperity of that society, were concerned, he could assure
them that himself and his colleague felt, in unison, the
warmest and deepest interest. He (Mr. Hinde) was at all
times glad to meet gentlemen actively employed in com-
mercial pursuits; and he could not but congratulate all present
on the fidhrishing state of the commerce of the tr,wn and dis-
trict. From the many improvements which, were making,
I'. one the splendid streets which were everywhere in the
course of erection, it might naturelly be asked was this a
solid and lasting prosperity ? lie trusted that it was ; the
pressure which had been SO severely felt in other parts of
England had not beets eo severely felt here ; that was sa-
tisfactory as to the, past, and if they looked to the future,
to the new souSces of trade and commerce, they could have
no doubt of_ their success. If they looked at that great
work (th; Newcastle and Carlisle Railway), now so near
its con.elusion, in which his friend at the bottom of the
table. (Mr. Plummer), had taken so deep an interest, a work
witich would be the means of increasing our trade with the
Baltic, and the north of Europe • if they looked at the Dur-
ham Junction Railway, an undertaking which would bring
to us the produce of the great coal-field which had hitherto
only been in rivalry with us ; if they looked at these and
other projects of a similar kind, now in progress, they
could have no doubt of the increasing prosperity of the
town ; and he did hope that much as they had increased.
they would all, or inertly all of them, see the day, when they
would look upon whit they now enjoyed as merely the com-
mencement of a species of commerce which they would live to
See completed.—(Applause.) At one of the representatives
of the town he would pay attention to every suggestion which
might be made to him, either from members of that body, or from individual merchants in the town ; and, in asking any ser-
vic
e from him, he trusted that they would not for a moment
consider whether he was indebted to them for the seat which
be had the honour to hold, or whether they had been opposed
to him in obtaining it. When the election was over he was
anxious—certainly not to forget the friends who assisted him
—but to blot from hie memory all recollection of these who
were his opponents, and advocate their interests as warmly as
he would the interests of those who- had given him their sup-
port.—( Applause.) He was glad in thus having an opportu-
nay of exchanging with them those expressions of kindness
which, he trusted, would at all times, and under all circum-
stances, subsist between the Members of Newcastle and their
constituents. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by saving that
he was deeply sensible of the honour which the company had
dove him, and begged in return to drink all their good healths.
—( Applause. )
The CHAIRMAN said he had next to propose the healths of
two other individuals who were more or less interested in the
prosperity of the commerce of the town—he meant the Mem-
bers for the Southern Division of the County of Northumber-
land.—( Applause. ) From the deep interest which they had in
the county of Northumberland, they could not but be much in-
terested in the prosperity of the trade of the Tyne. He re-
gretted, in common with them all, that one of the gentlemen,
like Mr. Ord, hid been lately visited with severe sickness :
but he trusted that the worst was now past, and that he would
not be long in the situation which he now occupied. He (the
Chairman) had no doubt of his anxiety and zeal to promote
the interests of his constituents by every means in his power,
and would beg to propose the healths of Mr. Bell and Mr.
Blackett.—( Applause.)
Mr. M. Beer., M.P., rose amid considerable applause,
and said, that, as one of the Members for South Northum-
berland, he begged to return them his thanks for the ho-
nour which had been done him, and at the same time to ex-
press his regret that his Honourable Colleague could not be
present at the meeting that day, because in a conversation
which ho had with Mr. Blackett, he knew that Mr. Blackett
was extremely anxious to attend the dinner. —( Applause.)
He (Mr. Bell) was last year prevented from attending the
anniversary meeting of the Chamber of' Commerce, and he
trusted that he might be allowed to avail himself of that op-
pertueity of expressing his deep regret, in common with them all, for the severe loss which they had sustained by the death
of their late excellent President, than whom no one had the
interest of the Society more perfectly at heart, no one was
more sincerely anxious to promote the commercial prosperity
of the town which he had so long represented.--( Applause.)
He thought that in electing the sari to fill the situation of the
father, they had paid a well-deserved compliment to the me-
rnoey of the deceased. The Hon. Member then expressed his
satisfaction at the increasing prosperity of the town, which
was daily and hourly increasing, and would do so, as long as
its interests were entrusted to such an intelligent body of
merchants as he had then the pleasure to see around him, Ho
had to thank many of them for valuable information afforded to
him in the course of his Parliamentary duties, and to wish
them every prosperity.—( Applause.)
The CHAIRMAN said, ho had next to propose the health of
an individual who represented a large portion of the commer-
cial and mining interests on the g'l,er side of the Tyne. The
Hon. csentleman bad been elected, not without a struggle, to
the situation, which he held, but no feeling of animosity
Would remain in his breast, and, as a Member of the British
Legisleture he would do everything iq his power for the corn-
mereial interests of the town and neighbourhood. He begged,
ill conclusion, to give the health of Mr. Liddell.
The Hon. H. T. LIDDELL rose amid great applause, and
briefly expressed his thanks for the honour done him, and the
high sense wleich he entertained of the value of such societies
as the Chamber of Commerce. He declared that he had no
feeling. on the score of politics, but that he would always, and
to the best of his ability, promote the commercial interests of
VIC town and district.--( Applause.)
The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Trade of Newcastle," as
It corollary to the Chamber of Commerce, which was drunk
with great applause.
Mr. Wee Asaiseeoeo then rose, and in brief but appro-
priate terms proposed the health of their excellent Chairman,
:ompanied by three times

Mr. EDGCOMBE returned thanks for himself and his brother ,
Officers of her Majesty's revenue, and congratulated the 1
Company on the increase which had taken place in the
trade of the port within the last few years. FrolTl h stAte-
ment which Mr. E. had taken the troul:‘,e to prepare, and
which he obligingly comrnnO:ated to us, it appeared that in
1824, the amount of duties was 165,079/. ; the cargoes in-
wards were 352 ; outwards, 1,001 ; coasters inwards were
2,343 ; outwards, 10,937 ; entries inwards were 5,155 ; out-
wards, 3,067 ; coals exported in chaldrons Newcastle measure
were 50,104; coals coastwise were 687,603. In 1837 the
amount of duties was 413 6381., the cargoes inwards were 618;
outwards, 2,725 ; coasters inwards, 2,963 ; outwards, 15,301 ;
entries inwards, 9.842 ; outwards, 6,019 ; coals exported,
171,721 ; coals coastwise, 845,495. Mr. Edgeombe con-
cluded by giving the health of the Vice- President.*( Cheers: )
Mr. PLUMMEER returned thanks, and spoke of the gratifica-
tion it gave him to see the increase of the trade of the port.
Mr. M. BELL, in very complimentary terms, proposed
health of the Secretrry of the Chamber, Mr. T. Grieveson.
Mr. GRIEVESON said he was deeply impressed with a 'fientie
of the kindness which had been done him by th* maim& in
which his services had peen spoken of by the Hon. Member.
He ( Mr..G. done nothing hatlll.7, duty ilia enhavoura
to reso.!:,ntate the Chamber, wnen by accident it had become
T'eauced from its Original strength. Prosperous as was the
condition of the Society now, he felt satisfied that it would
speedily be much more so when all the contemplated Railways
and other Public Works were completed—then, indeed, would
Newcastle not only he the Emporium of the North, but the
second port in the Empire.—( Applause.) Mr. Gricveson
concluded by giving as a toast—" May the cares of Com-
merce be solaced by the pleasures of society."

. .
Several other toasts were given, and the company separated
highly gratified with the proceedings of the evening.

THE DE'IL AND THE DUKE.

The following well. own Jacobite song, written on the
atrocities of the mike of Cumberland of that day, after the.
Rebellion of 1745, came in our way the other day.
Ken ye the news t hae to toll,
Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie,
Cumberland's awa to H—l,
Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie.
When he cam to the Stygian shore,
The De'il himsel wi' fright did roar.
Charon grim cam out to him,
Welcome here, you Devil's limb.
They towed him o'er with curse and d—n,
Whiles he sank and whiles he swam.
How he did skip and he did roar,
The Ds'ils ne'er saw sic fun before.
They put him on a phillibeg,
And in his lug they ramm'd a peg.
They took him neist to Satan's Ha',
There to lilt wi' his grind papa.
The De'il sat grinning in the neuk,
Riving sticks to roast the Duke.
They put him then upon a spit,
And roasted him, baith head and fut.
They ate him up, baith stoop and roup,
And that was the way they guided the Duke.
Bonnie laddie, &c.

The number of fires occurring in London is much
greater than that of the same casualities in country towns,
taking into account the relative sizes of the places. Thus
it is stated in a local paper that during the last five years not
a single fire has occurred within the limits of Salisbury.
TITEHOUSEBREAKER.—A ROBITERY PLANNED.
—" Oh, ah, it's all planned,' rejoined Sikes, never mind
particulars. You'l better bring the boy here to-morrow
night ; I shall get off the stones an hour arter day-break.
Then you hold your tongue, and keep the melting pot ready,
and that is all you'll have to do.' After some discussion in
which all three took an -active part, it was decided that Nancy
should repair to the Jew's next evening, when the night had
set in, and bring Oliver away with her ; Fag in craftly observ-
ing, that if he evinced any disinclination to the task, he would
be more willing to accompany the girl, who had so recently in-
terfered in his behalf, than anybody else. It was also
solemnly arranged that poor Oliver should, for the purpose of
the contemplated expedition, be unreservedly consigned to the
care and custody of Mr. William Sykes, and further that the
said Sikes should deal with him as he thought fit, and should
not be held responsible by the Jew for any mischance or evil
that might befal the boy, or any punishment with which it
might necessary to visit him, it being understood that, to ren-
der the compact in this respect binding, any representations
made by Mr. Sikes on his return should be required to be
confirmed and corroborated, in all important particulars, by
the testimony of flash Toby Cracket. These preliminaries ad-
justed, Mr. Sikes proceeded to drink brandy at a furious rate,
and to flourish the crow-bar in an alarming manner, yelling
forth at the same time most unmusical snatches of song mingled
with wild execrations. At length, in a fit of professional en-
thusiasm, he insisted upon producing his box of housebreaking
tools, which he had no sooner stumbled in with, and opened
for the purpose of explaining the nature and properties of the
various properties it contained, and the peculiar beauties of
their construction, than he fell over it upon the floor, and went
to sleep where he fell. Oliver Twist, in Bentley's Miscellany.
POMPEY'S PILLAR.-011 the 6th of September
last it blew a heavy gale at Alexandria from the westward,
which raised such dense clouds of sand as to render distant
objects totally invisible. But in the interval between the
squalls, to the surprise of the officers of the Egyptian squadron
and the inhabitants of the town, the colours of England were
observed floating en the summit of Pompey's pillar, while a
discharge of musketry was heard from the same elevated situa-
tion. On inquiry, it appeared that a party of officers belong-
ing to her Britannic Majesty's steam-vessel Hermes, had,
by moans of a huge kite, contrived to get a piece of
twine across the top of the pillar, to which was attached a
small cord, and ultimately a larger one was hauled up, and
a ladder was expeditiously formed. A party of ten then as-
cended the pillar and seated themselves on the summit, with
the Union Jack planted in the centre. Here they drank to
the health of her Majesty Queen Victoria of England with
three times three, and fired a royal salute. The prospect of
the surrounding sea and country from this elevation is de-
scribed by one of the officers, who was of this intrepid party,
as very fine ; but the tremulous motion of the pillar was so
great as to shake out the contents of a wine glass I—Malta
Gazette.

On Monday last the boiler attached to the manu-
factory of Mr. Carter, at Darlaston, exploded with great vio-
lence. The boiler itself, weighing upwards of two tons, was
carried over the adjoining houses, and fell in Cock-street, a
distance of 150 yards ; doing considerable damage to two
houses in its descent. It first fell upon a house on the north
side of the street, occupied by a shoemaker, demolishing a
portion of the roof and the gable end ; and rebounding from
thence, fell against the house on the opposite side of the street,
knocking in the door and a portion of the wall. About a
yard of the steam-piping was carried forty yards further, and
propelled against the door of Mr. Rooker, and, falling from
thence, broke down an adjoining wall. Another part of the
piping was blown through the front window of the same house.
The bricks, &c. were scattered in all directions for one hundred
yards, and so great was the concussion that most of the houses
in the place were somewhat shaken. Three of Mr. Carter's
shops were entirely blown down. The accident is mainly
attributable to the intense front of the previous night having
frozen down the safety valve.--Sheffield Iris.
MATHEWS—Dined with James Ballantyne, and
met R. Cadell, and my old friend Mathews, the comedian,
with his son, now grown up a clever lad, who makes songs in
the style of James Smith or Colman, and sings them with
spirit. There have been odd associations attending my two
last meetings with Mathews, The last time I saw him be-
fore yesterday evening, he dined with me in company with poor
Sir Alexander Boswell, who was killed within a week. I
never saw Sir Alexander more. The time before was in 1815,
when John Scott of Gala and I were returning from France,
and passed through London, when we brought Mathews down
as far as Leamington. Poor Byron lunched, or rather made
an early dinner with us at Long's, and a most brilliant day we
had of it. I never saw Byron so full of fun, frolic, wit, and
whim ; he was as playful as a kitten> Well, I never saw him
again. So this man of mirth, with his merry meetings, has
brought me no hick. I like better that he should throw in
his talehts of mimicry and humour into the present current
tone, tlf the company, than that he should be required to give
this, that, and t'other bit selected from his public recitations.
They are good certainly—excellent ; but thee you must
laugh, and that is always severe to me: When Ido laugh in
sincerity, the joke must be or seem unpremeditated. I could
not help thinking, in the midst of the glee, what gloom had
lately been over the minds of three of the company. What a
strange scene if the surge of conversation could suddenly ebb
I,ire the tide, and show us the state of people's real minds 1
Life could not be endured were it seen in reality. Mathews
was, indeed, much more than a mimic; he was a fine satirist,
a subtle observer of every peculiarity and point in character.
No wonder that he chafed in his way through the world, for.
things that seemed to ordinary people as round, smooth, and
like each other as the pebbles on the beach, were full of salien-
Cies and angles to his microscopic vision.--Lockitart's Life of
Scott.

The Temps gives an animated description of a
mixed scene of tragedy and comedy, which was enacted on
Thursday night, at No 239, Rue St. Honorit, the corner of
the Place du Palais Royal. Two young women, living in
one room on the sixth story, were on tho point of being suf-
focated by the fumes of a small charcoal fire they had lit
for the purpcse of preparing a meal, but overcome by fa-
tigue, had fallen asleep. They were so stupified as not
to be able to reach the door, but their cries aroused
the other inhabitants of the house, the first of whom was
M. Lapeintre, jun., of the Vaudeville, whose natural rotun-
dity, our readers will recollect, rivals that of the late Stephen
Kemble, which enabled him to act the part of Falstaff with-
out stuffing. Imagine this mountain of flesh, impelled by
that kindness of heart for which he is distinguished, rolling
from his bed, enveloping himself in an adequate robe do-
chambre, and hurrying to the scene of distress, which he could
only reach by ascending a staircase scarcely wide enough to
give passage to a man of ordinary dimensions, urged on by his
humanity till he not only got wedged in himself, but pre-
vented those behind who also came to help from getting to
the relief of the distressed women. By force of pushing this
obstacle was at last moved forwards, and Lepeintre, renewing
his activity, arrived first at the door of the sufferers. Here again
he was stopped by the straitness of the aperture ; but a man,
one of the thinnest, squeezed by him. The two poor women
were found senseless, and one of them severely burnt by falling
on the brazier. They were, however, both partially recovered
by medical care, and afterwards taken to the hospital of La
Charite, where hopes are entertained that they will he speedily
restored....Galignani's Messenger.

HIGHLAND AND AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY OF SCOTLAND.

The A7auivergary Meeting of this National Institution
held on Tuesday week. The Hall was crowded by a numer-
ous assembly of Noblemen and Gentlemen, from every district
of Scotland, resident at this season in Edinburgh and its vici-
nity. The Marquis of Tweedale, Senior Vice-President in
office, in the chair, supported by the Earl of Morton, and the
Earl of Strathmore.

The Society, as the first business, proceeded to ballot for
the election of new members, when fifty-eight* gentlemen, who
had been severally proposed in pursuance of the charter) were
duly admitted.
The Honourable Williani Rollo, Master of Rollo • Sir Fre.
&rick George Johnstone, of Westerhall, Dart.: 'John An-
derson, Esq., of Farthingrush ; Thomas Chalmers Borthwick,
Esq., of Hopesrig ; Dr. John Clitrike, of Speddoch, M. D. K. H.,
Deputy-Inspectorz (-lomat oi Army Hospitals; James Church,
Etth Ttivrer of Sark; Lieut.-Colonel John Dirom, of
Mount- Annan ; Archibald Hattie, Esq., M. P. for Paisley ;
Thomas Tinglian, Esq. of Airds ; J. Hotchkis, Esq W. S., re-
siding at Castlercilk ; John Irving, Esq., of Burnfoot ; An-
drew Johnstone, Esq., of Hallcaths ; James Kerr, Esq., Mid-
dlebank ; James Nl'Douall, Esq., of Logan ; Henry Con-
stable Maxwell, Esq., of Nlilnhead ; Wellwo id Maxwell,
Esq., of the Grove ; Robert Mein, Esq., of Ormiston; John
Maxwell, Esq., of Westwater ; John Alexander Pringle, Esq_
of Castledykes ; James Stewart, Esq., of Gillenbie.
The meeting afterwards elected the President, \rice- Presi-
dent, Directors, and other Officers for the ensuing year.
Sir JOHN STtTART FORBES, Bart., the Treasurer, submitted
a view of the funds, income, and expenditure of the Society
for the last year. The Treasurer was enabled to congratulate
the Society on the very satisfactory and flourishing state of
the funds.

As Chairman Of the Committee on the New Museum, the
Treasurer 7,150 stated the progress of that important object.
Sir MOMAS MARDOUGALL BRISBANE, Bart., said he had
been requested, in the absence of Mr. Milne, Chairman of the
Society's Geological Committee, to report the state of the ar-
rangements for resuming the Trigonometrical Survey of Scot-
land, and he had great pleasure in doing so. He had had the
honour, as President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, to
accompany the Duke of Sutherland, and the members of the
Deputation, to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when the
subject of the Survey was brought under consideration—when
they had mentioned to the Government that, while France,
Austria, Russia, Bavaria, Denmark, and other States in
Europe and elsewhere, possessed, or were engaged in trian-
gulation and in surveys and in maps on enlarged and magnifi-
cent scales, we were still behind in this country.
The Society's original memorial to the Government on this
important subject, related to the resumption of the survey in
Scotland, and the wish so generally manifested having been,
in a very gratifying manner acceded to the Society, at the last
General meeting, further instructed the Directors to offer
such suggestions as should appear to them calculated to ren-
der alike advantageous to the public, and creditable to the
country, the great work which the Government had under-
taken. The Directors, accordingly, lost no time in carrying
the instructions of the Society into effect. The General
Meeting was held on the 3d of July, and so early as the 21st
of that month, a memorial to be laid before the Government,
was transmitted to the care of his Grace the President, sub-
mitting such suggestions as had occurred to the Geological
Committee and the Directors. In that communication the
Directors did not offer any remark as to the way in which the
triangulation and mensuration should be carried on ; the able
superintendence under which these surveys are conducted,
gave the fullest asurance that in these respects nothing will
be left undone that could be desired. The department of the
survey, on which alone the Directors ventured to make any
suggestion, was that connected with the filling up of the maps,
after the- triangulation is completed. In the first place it
was noticed that the maps ought to represent, and they cer-
tainly would exhibit the physical features and configuration
of the country in respect to its mountains, valleys, and plains,
its rivers, lakes, &e., as well as the outward signs of its inha-
bited condition in respect of towns, villages, churches, and other
prominent buildings, roads, canals, harbours, &c. Secondly,
it was suggested that the maps should exhibit the heights
above the level of the sea of all the mountains, whether
isolated or in ranges ; and that along the river courses and
water-shed lines, the levee above the sea, every quarter of a
mile, should also be marked. The importance of such infor-
mation as showing whether, and how, districts of a country
can be drained, and whether, and where canals and railways
can be executed, is sufficiently obvious. Thirdly, that the
boundaries of counties, parishes, and towns, should be de-
lineated. And, in the fourth place, that there should be
sections of the country, from sea to sea, showing its geological
structure, and an outline of its levels. Ile Duke of
Sutherland, in this matter, displayed the same promptitude
and attention he has given to every duty which the So-
ciety has requested of him, and a satisfactory answer was
received by the Duke from Lord Melbourne, dated the 31st
of July, which was read to the meeting, containing the as-
surance that the Society's suggestions would be carefully
considered.

The meeting expressed their gratification at the satisfactory
position of this important object, with their best acknowledg-
ments to his Grace the President, to the Directors, and par-
ticularly to Mr. Milne, Chairman of the Geological Commit-
tee, for their zealous attention.

The Earl of MORETON, in a very appropriate address, ad-
verted to the success which had attended the late meeting at
Dumfries, and the obligations the Society were under to those
whose exertions had contributed to that end, from the Direc—
tors; and submitted several resolutions of thanks to the Noble-
men and Gentlemen who had taken an active interest in the
success of the Society.
' -

The meeting fixed the General Annual Meeting show o
Stock in 1840, to be held at Aberdeen.

The Society, in conformity with the recommendation of the
Directors, unanimously resolved to suspend, on this occasion,
the standing resolution, and fixed the annual meeting, for 1841,
to be held at Berwick.

After the other business of the day was concluded, the cor.
dial thanks of the Society were, on the motion of the Earl of
Strathmore, seconded by Sir John Muir Mackenzie, Bart.,
voted to the Noble Marquis, the Vice-President, who so ably
discharged the duties of the chair.
The meeting then adjourned.

On Wednesday an inquest was held at the House
of Correction, Brixton, on Edward Kelly, a prisoner. De-
ceased had a cut on the left side of his head, of which he eon-
stantly complained, but he was not sensible enough to account
for his wounds. From the surgeon's evidence it appeared he
had a cut on his head, about an inch long, which had pene-
trated the scalp. The wound appeared to have been in-
flicted with some sharp instrument, and had caused death. Mr.
Dallon, a miller at Cobham, stated that on the evening of the
14th instant, he and his nephew were at home, when some
persons were singing near the windows. The men complained

He ordered them away, but they swore they would not go
without relief. Witness took deceased gently by the arms,
and begged him to walk out. A desperate blow was aimed
at witness, which was warded cff by his servant, who knocked
the fellow down. This was the signal for a general assault,
and the fellows attacked witness and his party with brickbat,
n d stones. Witness and his party retreated to the house, and
shut the door. Deceased had frequently struck him with the
chain of a horse-collar. His nephew procured the handle of a
chaise-umbrella, with which he struck deceased on the head.
The headborough and others came, and the four prisoners
were takeifinto custody. If it were not for the resolution dis-
played by his nephew the lives of the whole party would have
been in danger, and the companions of the deceased said as
much upon the road. The jury after a long consultation, re-
turned a verdict of " Excusable Homicide."

Intelligence was received in town on Saturday of
the death of the Earl of Clonmell, at his seat, North Ashton,
Oxfordshire, on Thursday last, after an illness of several
weeks. His Lordship was in his 56th year, baying been born
August 15, 1783. He succeeded his father, John Scott, who
was Attorney-General of Ireland, and afterwards Lord Chief
Justice of the King's Bench, and who, on his elevation to the
Irish peerage, in 1784, was created Baron Earlsfort, and was
created Earl of Clonmell in 1793. In February, 1805, the
deceased Lord was united to Lady Harriet Greville, daughter
of the late, and sister of the present Earl of Warwick and
Countess of Aylesford, by whom he leaves a numerous family
He is succeeded in his titleand estates by Viscount Earlsfort,
now Earl of Clonmell, who is in his 21st year. The late
Noble Earl, accompanied by his son, visited his estates in
Ireland in the autumn, but since his return to Aston has been
in a declining state of healsh.
DOCTOR WOODWARD.-011 calling to settle
with his physician, Dr. Woodward, the smallness of the de-
mand produced a generous altercation between them. " In-
deed, Captain Nelson, exclaimed the worthy physician, "you
must allow me to follow what I consider to be my professional
duty. Your illness has been brought on by serving your king
and country; and, believe, me, I lore both too well to be
able to receive any more. "—Naval Keepsake for 1838, con-
