ST. MAN'S HIGHLAND SOCIETY.

The ANNUAL MEETING of this Society was
held on Wednesday the 4th instant, on that truly romantic spot
at the foot of Loch Earn, from whence the' Society takes its
name. The weather proved very unpropitious; there was,
however, a very numerous assemblage of rank and fashion to
witness the sports or the day, which commenced at eleven
o'clock, and afforded much amusement and gratification to.
the distinguished spectators, amongst whom we noticed :
The Stewarts of Advorlich (Chieftain of the day), Dalguige,
Glenbuckie, and Col. David of Garth ; Graham of Airth, and
three Carriages full ; Lord Molincane ; Lord Balgray's
from Lawyers ; the Mocays, of Abercairney and Ardoch ;
Murrays of Ochtertyre,- Dollerie, and Ardbunie • Sir Francis
and Lady Sykes ; Sir Frederick Henniker, and the Miss Vile..
bois, from Lynedoch ; Wedderburns, of Scrymgeour, Drum-.
monds, Stragaith ; Cutoqueys, Broichs', and Capt. Robertson,
Tullibetton ; Duncan, of Damside, &c. &c. &c.—Most of
whom sported elegant equipages • the Gentlemen were chiefly.
in full Highland garb, and the Ladies in tartan sharfs, ribbons, •
or dresses; the middling classes and lower orders of society
were not so numerous as might be expected; the weather-
and busy time of harvest preventing many from attending._....
After'the sports were concluded, the Clieftain's Lady invited
all those distinguished females who had any pretension to
such an honour, to partake of a cold collation in her tent;
but-the dampness of the atmosphere prevented their enjoying
the. Highland hospitatity of this accomplished Lady. The
Gentlemen their guests, u ith about fifty Members of the So::
ciety, dined together; the Chieftain in the Chair; supported by
Colonel Stewart, of Garth, and Mr. Wedderburn, Secretary to
the Highland Society of London, with the Laids of Dol.
leric, Broich, and Cutoquhey ; Robert Stewart, Esq. the
younger, of Advorlich, Croupier, and Graham of Airth (Chief.;
tarn elect for the ensuing year), took up a position in the
centre, surrounded by the Morays of Abercairney and Arr
doch, Drummond; Stragaith, Robertson, 'l'ullibeltor., &c.—
After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts from the Chair,
the healths of Lord and Lady Gwydyr were given, the
stoups of the Society, and drank with great applause.—(A
melancholy event, the death of Lady Perth, prevented their
attendance).—The Chieftain Elect then rose (by permissioa
from the Chair) and addressed the Society in a most eloquent-
and appropriate speech, in which he complimented those mein-
hers who had upheld the honour of the Society on the occasion
of his Majesty's late visit to his Northern metropolis, and con-
cluded his animated appeal to their feelings of loyalty and
patriotism, by reading a communication he had received
from the Board of Scotland, inclosing a letter from the Right
Honourable Mr. Peel, containing a very flattering encomium,
expressive of their Sovereign's high approbation. These
communications were received with loud and lasting applause,
and the health of the Chief of Chiefs, our gracious Monarch,
was again drank in four times four, four times repeated ! Sir
Walter Scott 'was next given from the Chair, (the worthy
Baronet, who had made this very flattering communication),
and drank with shouts of applause. On Advorlick's resign-
ing the seat he had filled with so much honour to himself
and gratification of all present, Graham, of Airth, was loudly
and unanimously called on to succeed him, and the healths
of the late and new Preses were again drank, the pipes
playing " the gallant Grahams." The health of another of
the Clan was then proposed, Lord Lynedoch? and drank with
three times three. The highly distinguished Represen-
tative of
.the House of Abercairny was next drank, and
his brother Major Moray, and those heroes who fought,
fell, or bled with him at Waterloo, with all the honours ; they
each returned thanks in a most eloquent and feeling manner,
and the latter proposed the . health of that veteran soldier
and ornament to his country, Sir David Baird, which we need
not add was drank amidst loud cheering. The health of An-
thony Oliphant, of the Conde family, being drank on his sue-
! ceedmg to the Croupier's chair, he returned thanks, and in.a
speech, full of fine sentiment and pathos, declared his intention
of giving the prize he had gained, as best jumper, to the next
best competitor, evincing the independent spirit and feel-
ings of a Gentleman and man of high integrity and honour,
which have ever distinguished his long line of ancestors.—
We cannot attempt to do justice to the merits of the distin-
guished Individual who latterly presided over the meeting; his
talents as a convivial member .of the community are well-
known and duly appreciated; and tae exceeding go, d
moor and mirth which prevailed, notwithstanding the war-
ring of the elements had unroofed the slight canopy 'twist
them and the inclement night, bound all together in the ties of
good fellowship until past ten, when the company separated in
harmony, good order, and peace with all mankind.—We must
not omit to add that the songs of Mr. Bull, an amateur of great
eminence, with the Gaelic and other national airs of some in-
dividuals present, materially contributed to the conviviality of
the evening.

THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 13.

, ;,,t

A small quantity of fresh Wheat came to market this morn-
ing, and fine samples met with a good sale at Monday's prices,
but there was no demand for old Wheat. There were some
samples of new Barley, which sold at an advance of 2s. per
quarter ; in all other articles there was no alteration in the
prices.

SMITHFIELD MARKET, StrT. 13.
There was a good supply this morning of all descriptions of
Cattle, but more particularly in Oxen, left over from last
market-day ;as the trade did not seem to be brisk, the price of
all description of meat must be lower.

CUMBERLAND.

[FROM THE WHITEHAVEN GAZETTE.]

•
On Tuesday last Allonby was visited by a most tremendous
storm of hail and rain, accompanied by vivid flashes of light-
ning. We have not heard of any damage in consequence
having been sustained.

Potatoes were sold in the Whitehaven market on Saturday
last at lid per stone. On the same day, 49Ibs. of fine mutton
were sold in the same market for Bs., being scarcely 2d. per
pound.! This is really a return of good old times.
There was last week pulled from an apple-tree in the garden
of Mr. Isaac Bond, of Workington, Cumberland, an apple
which measures 14 inches in circumference, and weighs sixteen
ounces. The tree was full, and the whole of the apples are of
an unusually large size and fine flavour.
On Iriday last an apple, of the Cuponda kind, was offered
for sale in Broughton market, which measured in circumfe-
rence 13 inches, and weighed 15 ounces ; it was purchased
for a trifle by Mr. Colebank. One the same day choice apples
were sold in the same market for 2,12 d. per hoop ; inferior kinds
cheaper.

A parcel of common land, containing about 45 acres, belong-
ing to the Earl of Lonsdale, situate on Ileddiker Iligg, has this
year produced 3,573 stocks of oats, under judicious nianaga-
ment, being an increase of 721 stocks, as compared with the
crop of last year. _ _

There hal been a very plentiful crop of cranberries this season,
in many parts of Cumberland; several thousand quarts have
been sold from a halfpenny to one farthing per quart, which
were carried to the South and disposed of to great advantage.
A farmer at Mowbray in this county has two young sheep,
which brought forth a lamb each in January last, and both
again yeaned about a fortnight ago:

TOOPING-COUGII.—Dr. ARCHER, an American
physician announces that the hooping-cough is cured by vacci-
nating the patient on thp second or third week after the com-
mencement of the disease. This is a singular discovery, and
if the result be doubted, the experiment is at least harmless.
A melancholy case of suicide occurred at St.
Jves, on Saturday last, in the family of the Rev.
Mr. MORRIS, Dissenting Minister, of that place.
Mr. and Mrs. Morris had gone to Penzance of
Saturday morning, and on their return in the
evening found their niece, a young lady of about
twenty-four years of age, suspended to a nail
which she had herself driven in the wall of the
bed-room---when discovered she was quite (lead.
A Coroner's inquest was held on the body, and
the Jury, after a long deliberation, found that
the deceased had put a period to her existence in
a fit of insanity.
Yesterday, a few minutes before 12 o'clock; as
a waggon, heavily laden with bags of hops, was
proceeding down Queen-street, Cheapside, a man,
who had incautiously placed himself on its top,
fell off, and was seriously injured. He was con-
veyed to an, apothecary's shop nearly adjoining,
where his wound was dressed, and afterwards
taken home by the assistance ' of some of thole
who witnessed the circumstance.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

:10LTRAVTO FROM THR D %ILY MORNING PAPERS,
September 13, 1822.

[MORNING POST.]
CORROB'O'RATION OF THE VICTORY OF TILE
GREERS.-JUSt as our Paper was going to press,
the Paris Papers to the 11th instant reached our
office by Expiess. We do not wonder that the
Austrian Observer should have acknowledged
that there was no truth in the accounts which it
had published of the defeat of the Greeks by
Chourschid Paeha, for we find the Quutidienne,
which is equally hostile to the Greek cause, now
announcing that Chourschid had not only been
beaten, as the original reports stated, but had
experienced a second defeat, in which he was
even belived to have been taken prisoner. This
gratifyinv° intelligence, which would not have
appeared in such a Journal, if it had entertained
the least doubt' of its correctness,- is given
under the head of Semlin, August 21th. It
appears that the circumstance which enabled
the Austrian Observer to throw some temporary
dbubts on the correctness of the original intelli-
fence, was the confusion of dates which arose
from some of the accounts using the Old Style
(still prevalent in Greece as in Russia), whilst
others employed the new. Thus the first relation
stated the Greeks to have gained a great victory
on the Bth July (New Style), whilst the various
corroborating statements coming from Greece it-
self, and therefore using the Old Style, mentioned
the 20th July as the day on which the battle had
been fought, and both were correct : the differ-
ence between the two styles being exactly twelve
days, gives our Bth of July as the period which
was meant to be specified by all the accounts
whose dates seemed otherwise at variance. We
trust that the official details of these important
actions will at last make their way through all
the difficulties opposed by Christian States to the
passage of intelligence from Greece when it an-
-ounces her triumphs, and will reach us in such
a shape as to make it impossible for those who
regret, to deny the successes of the Greeks, and
the regular progress of their cause towards glo-
rious emancipation and national existence.

[MORNING HERALD.]
The arrival-of news from Madrid has been for
some time exceedingly slow. This has been
Chiefly occasioned by the frequent attacks made
on the couriers by bands of insurgents, who seize
the newspapers and private letters, burn or
otherwise destroy them, in order to prevent the
possibility of any communication, which would
make known the real state to which they are
reduced. To this cause also may be ascribed
the conflicting accounts, which, by means of
fabricated letters, have so variously represent-
ed the attitude of affairs in the Peninsula. The
new Ministers are daily gaining strength, by
the accession to office of some more of those
Members, who took an active share in tht
popular measures connected with the Revo-
lution of IBW, under Riego and his companions.
It appears that the King's reluctance to assemble
an Extraordinary Cortes has been at length over-
come. In order to prevail on his Majesty to
sign the decree of convocation, the Ministers had
to resort to menaces, and to declare that they
would resign, and publish the motives by which
they were actuated. The formal Address which
they presented to his Majesty, and to which the
latter yielded,is a strong and spirited remonstrance.
It will be found in another column. The Extraor-
dinary Cortes, it is said, will meet on the 25th of
this month. It is affirmed that all symptoms of
contagion had disappeared, so far back as the
14th of last month. But it is still doubtful
whether the troops composing the Sanitary Cor-
don will be removed. Although the intercourse
with France may not be interrupted any longer
by the performance of quarantine, or entering
into the lazar-house, yet it is probable the line
of military will still remain on the frontier, for
the pretence or purpose of securing respect to
the French-territory.

[BRITISH PitESS.]
The accounts which occasionally arrive-from
the South of France give us to understand that
military preparations,-on a very extensive scale,.
have been ordered by the Government, and that
every military station in the South shews an
extraordinary degree of bustle and activity.—
The cordon sanitaire, notwithstanding the re-
peated remonstranc,,,s - of the Spanish Govern-
ment, has never been withdrawn from its position
on the frontiers, and to- this force are now added
several new corps, so-that in point of numbers it
bas become a formidable army. The supplies of
cannon and ammunition are said to be upon a
scale that marks the expectation of an immediate
necessity for using them, and stations are already
occupied upon the frontiers as if it were intended
to skew an apprehension of invasion ! The tern-
per of the French Government towards that of
Spain, ever since the late revolution, has been
-far from conciliatory, and from the protection
granted to the Spanish royalist refugees in France,
and the encouragement now openly extended
to the Bayonne Committee for promoting the
work of rebellion in Spain, we cannot doubt
the hostile feeling of the Cabinet of the Tuileries.
—The vicinity of the Cordon Sanitaire was felt
by the Spanish Government to have exercised a
most pernicious influence upon the state of the

frontier provinces; and t',is new manifestation
of energy on the part of the French Govern-
ment, and the increase of the French army,
cannot fail to offer a great encouragement to the
soi-disant "A rmy of the Faith." The French
papers insinuate that if,in the event of a defeat of the
Spanish Royalists; the beaten party should take
refuge within the territories of France, it is not
improbable that the conquerors would pursue
them. This would be a violation of the French
territorry which ought to be prevented, and it is
presumed that this feeling on the part of the
Government will account sufficiently for so con-
siderable an increase of their military force on
the frontiers. There is just enough of pretence
in this observation to serve as an excuse for the
underhand hostility of the Government ; but can

any one doubt that these preparations are Blade
with a view to encourage the rebels in Spain, or
perhaps to be prepared with an overwhelming
army to take such advantage of occasional occur-
rences as would enable the Bourbons of France
to restore without much risk the former authority
of the Bourbons of Spain ?

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We cannot help remarking how felicitously it
happened that Mr. Canning had just concluded
the valedictory visits to his country cousins, and
reached within so convenient a distance of the
metropolis as Birmingham, when he met the
" invitation " from his former Colleagues. It
also luckily occurred, that although for some
weeks before Lord Londonderry's death and the
Liverpool dinner, his movements were performed
in modest obscurity, they have since been so
carefully traced and advertised, that a King's
Messenger might any day run him down
with certainty in a few hours. But now that
the invitation is given, will it be accepted ?
It is rumoured that the Lord Chancellor, a
Noble ally of his, only assented to Mr. Canning's
introduction into the Cabinet on condition of his
subscribing to a political creed drawn up by
them for the occasion. The precise stipulations
are as yet unknown, but as it is confidently re-
ported that one article relates to Catholic Eman-
cipation—a subject upon which the Lord Chan-
cellor and Mr. Canning have hitherto been at
loggerheads, and respecting which Lord Liver-
pool perfectly agrees with the former. The " in-
vitation" may, therefore, be considered merely as
a preliminary treaty of peace and alliance, and
as Mr. Canning must be anxious to show his
diplomatic proficiency, perhaps the negociation
shall continue for some time before the conscien-
tious scruples of those great men can be adjusted.
It is clear, however, to all the readers of the last
Liverpool speech, that the Catholic Cause will
never be a bar to Mr. Canning's ambition, for
he then good-naturedly volunteered to throw it
overboard, in order to quied the country.

[NEW TIMES.]
The trial of Berton and his associate traitors
in France draws rapidly to a close. The Morn-
ing Chronicle admits that they must be found
guilty, but very gravely adds, that they ought
not to be punished! What have they done,
poor fellows ! They have only appeared in
arms against their Sovereign ! only begun a
civil war, which might have drenched their

native soil with blood, and spread rebellion,
with all its consequent horrors, through Out Eu-
rope ! We shall leave it to the common sense of
mankind whether the sentiments of The Morning
Chronicle are prompted by genuine humanity, or
by the spirit of faction. But there is another
point of view in which the late French trials, the
events in Spain, and the quarrels of our own
Radicals, all assume a common importance, and
lead to a common conclusion. They teach
us what are the real characters of the self-
styled Reformers of mankind in all countries.—
For this week or more The Chronicle has been
loaded with the attacks of a Spanish Liberal on
the characters of Arguelles, Morino, and other
chiefs of the moderate revolutionists, who are
styled 66 the basest of mankind." Among our-
selves Cobbet and Hunt, the Pylades and Orestes
of radicalism, have been calling each other
liars and hypocrites. And in the French trials
we have been presented with the most sicken-
ing disregard of truth on the part of the
" Chevaliers of Liberty" who have figured either
as criminals or witnesses. We have seen them
swearing point blank against each other, de-
nying the most indubitable facts,, and denying
with unblushing impudence on one day, what
they had positively asserted on the day preced-
ing. If we were to go farther back in revo-
lutionary history, we should find the case ex-
actly the same. Look to Mirabeau, Orleans,
Damon, Fouche, Talleyraud, Buonaparte, you
find an absolute destitution of all moral and hon-
ourable principle has been the charactertic of all
the leading Reformers, according to their judg-
ment of each other, and to the test of events.
These multiplied revelations are of high import-
ance, inasmuch as they throw on the great cause of
modern Reform, a light, by which he who runs
may read. It is an evil tree ; for it brings forth
none but evil fruits. It is not the cause of true
Liberty—a cause holy and blessed throughout
all ages—but the cause of base and selfish pas-
sions, of dishonesty, false pretence, rapacity,
and ambition. Is is not evident that the de-
licate and awfully hazardous task of pulling

to pieces Governments, destroying Laws, and
overturning the fabric of Society, if it be
entrusted to any human hands, should be con-
fided only to men of unblemished integrity, of
high honour, of calm and dignified wisdom,
without fear and without reproach ? " What is
liberty without wisdom and without virtue?"
said the wise and virtuous Burke. "It is the
greatest of all possible evils ; for it is folly, vice,
and madness, without tuition or restraint.
Those who know what virtuous liberty is, cannot
bear to see it disgraced by incapable heads, on
account of their having high-sounding words in
1 their mouths."

[THE TIMES.]

It is not always that his Majesty's Ministers
are justly charged with profusion. We have
ourselves been, ere now, so far betrayed by ap-
pearances, as lightly to admit the general im-
pression aginst them; and we now acknowledge
that the facility of such our belief to their pre-
judice, ought to be followed by a similar promp-
titude of recantation when sufficient reason
presents itself for inducing us to fancy our-
selves deceived. The public have some cause to
remember that in the course of last year the Ca-
binet gained, or suffered, an accession of a party
well known under the name of Grenvilles. The
Leviathan of the race, the head of the Grenvilles,
was on that occasion turned from a Marquis into
a Duke, being the only Member of the existing
Peerage (the Duke of Wellington excepted) so
renowned for his public services, or so eminent
and exemplary for his private virtues, as to merit
that highest honour known to' English nobility,
viz. the ducal coronet. The Grenvilles of

the female line being Welch ones, cannot of
course be ennobled ; they can only be enriched.
We pass by the President of the India Board,
whose 5,0001. per annum every one knows
to be as hardly earned as any weaver's seven
shillings per week. But the Grenville whom
we wish once more to notice, and to whom we

ow make the amende honorable for all our abuse
of his rapacity in accepting, and of the wicked
prodigality of Ministers in offering him, 40001.
a year, that he might fish and shoot among the
Swiss mountains, is he, whom in the Red Book
they call a Minister Plenipotentiary from the
Court of St. James's to the Cantons. When pressed
to give something in the nature of an excuse or
palliation, or even pretext, for this prima facie
job, Lord Londonderry informed the Parliament
that the salaries of our diplomatic agents had
been increased that they might be the better
enabled to exercise a liberal hospitality towards
their countrymen abroad, and to keep up among
foreign nations the dignity and honour of Great
Britain. To this it was answered at the time,
that there was no semblance of truth, but great
effrontery, in the argument of Ministers ; for that,
in fact, so far from English gentMnen with their
families finding an agreeable or encouraging recep-
tion from the representatives of their own Sovereign
at foreign Courts, the English Ambassadors,
though the best paid, were the least courteous
and hospitable among all the public functionaries
of Europe. It was even affirmed, that this re-
pulsive carelessness of the civilities which every
one must acknowledge to be due to British tra-
vellers, had become worse within our memory—
that hospitality on the part of our Ambassadors
had declined, as the means of showing it bad
been augmented by the nation—and that
with regard to Switzerland, a salary of one
thousand pounds would leave the Envoy, at
the year's end, money in his pocket. This
is not true. Mr. Wynn is hospitable—or about
to be so. We read in the newspapers, that he is
probably at this moment in the act of receiving
English company. Sir Watkin Williams Wynn
and Lady Harriet Williams Wynn are about
arriving at Bern, "on a visit to his Excel-
lency, Mr. Henry Wynn." There is hos-
pitality for you !—there is an express con-
firmation of what Lord Londonderry alleged,

in favour of the increased allowance of 40001.
per annum !—there is " value received " for
even a larger outlay of the public money ! This
much-reprobated and deeply-injured Minister
does actually find houseroom for eight names,
and two great personages, fresh from England.—
True, they, like himself, are Wynns—like him-
self ate Grenvilles—his own brother and sister,

to boot ; but still they are English people, and
they receive from him the no longer disputed
rites of "hospitality." Now it may be no difficult
matter to prove, that by such an application
of tl►e public purse, the Ministers have made
not merely a fair, but an economical bargain for
the people of England. Sir W. W. Wynn has
not yet been cotnplimented with a pension, ❑or
natnefl, as we have beard, to any Cabinet office.
Yet why he alone should be left out, when all
his relatives were so dilligently taken care of,
we are unable to guess. That his exclusion can
be from inferiority of merit to theirs, no man will
think reasonable or likely. His rents, too, have

fallen, at least 10,000/. per annum, which renders
him an object of sympathy. We are therefore
half inclined to suspect that the 4,000/. a-year
salary to the younger brother, was destined by
a secret article in the compact, to cover a six
months' eetablishment for the elder ; and thus,
that by bargain at once delicate and frugal, the
Ministers have gained for us at the cost of a
si►igle salary, the services of two equally efficient
Grenvilles. With a scheme so provident as this;
who but the splenetic would quarrel ?

IRELAND.

LIMERICK ASSIZES.

Patrick Hennessy, Edmond llennessy, John Dorgan, Tho-
mas Halpin, Thomas J'lennane, and Patrick Cullahane, were
put to the bar for the murder of Patrick Buckley, a Crown.
witness, at Ardagh, on Sunday, the 23d of September, 1-321,
Patrick Cullahane, postponed his trial by an affidavit.
The trial lasted the Whole day. After the Jury had returned.
their verdict of Guilty, Baron PENNEFATIIER addressed the
unfortunate prisoners at very great length on the fatal crime of
murder, committed under the aggravated and atrocious leatures
of this case, in his usual emphatic strain. They were sentenced
to be hanged on Monday next. Thomas Mennane was recom-
mended to mercy.
While sentence of death was pronouncing; and after it had
been closed, one of the most hardened scenes of outrage and
contempt, perhaps, that ever occurred in a similar case took
place in the dock. Patrick Hennessy was about asking for a
long day, when his brother, Edward, struck him a brow in the
neck, as it were, for presuming to seek a favour. When the
last expression of the sentence was ended by the Judge, Hen- '
nesy tamed about and said, " la the Devil we pitch you all,"
and then struck and knocked down his brother in the lowcv
dock, jumped down himself in a violent manner, and kicked
at the door in a maniac strain. Two others, Halpin and Dor-
gan, imitated him in like conduct, each kicking the door and
exulting as he passed ; but Mennane remained quite, gazing
about. They were immediately removed by the military.
Their conduct was particularly disgusting, and was marked
by a crowded Court with a murmur of horror.
On Monday the sentence was executed on Halpin, the two
Ilennessys, and Dorgan.
SIXTiEN MEN RESPITED.—The following sixteen men,
who were sentenced to death at our last Assizes, have been
respited
James Fitzmaurice, who was to be hanged on the lAth inst.
for a burglary in the house of Mi,chael. Burke White, Esq. in
this county.
Owen Sullivan, sentenced to death on the same day, for a
burglary in the house of Mr. Rose.
Arthur Walker, the same day, for taking arms from the
house of Mr. John Shire.
Charles Connors, Darby Connors, Patrick Connors, William
Connors, senior, William Connors, junior, Owen Sweeney, P.
Sweeney, and John Lane, who were sentenced for death on the
4th of October, for burglary and felony in the house of Patrick
Hayes, Esq. of Craig.
John Galvin, for a burglary in the house of Maurice Connell,
who was sentenced at the last Assizes to be hanged on the 14th
of October.
Murtogh Dunn and David Shea, for a robbery in the house
of Thomas Kean, of Glensharum.
Patrick Duneen, for highway robbery.
John Reidy; for compelling Patrick Griffin to quit his dwel-
ling house, respited until further orders.—(Limerick Paper,
Sept. 7.)

LITERARY NOVELTY.—There has just now
issued from the Glasgow press a Prospectus and Specimen of a
History of Hannibal the Great, the enemy of Rome, with sonic
particulars of the Phoenician and Carthagenian History—in
which there appear some links of connection of Ancient and
Modern History by analogy. We understand a Parisian prin-
ter has been calling on the author, Mr. MoLLESON, of Glas-
gow, to urge him forward with the work, leaving an °icier forit,
it, for the purpose of translating it into,the French hnguage.—
( Glasgow Courier, Sept. 10:)
