TITHES IN ST. ANDREW'S, HOLBORN.

-
Yesterday a nUmerous Meeting of the Inhabi-
tants of the London Liberty of the Parish of St. Andrew, Hol-
born, took place at the Inquest Room of the Church, at twelve
o'clock, to take into consideration certain whits proposed for a
permanent arrangement, by Act of Parliament, of the present
differences between the Inhabitants and the Rector, in regard
to tithes; Mr. Wrist)tv, Churchwarden, in the chair.
The requisition being read,
Mr. Sayler) r us, the Secretary to the Tithe Committee, read
the terms of the average rents proposed on the pert of the Rec.-
' tor, which were—lst, That the parish should allow 7004 a year;
in lieu or tithes and Esster.offerings to the Rector ; 2dly, That
the allowance should be secured by'Aet of Parliament, at the
joins expenee of the Rector and the parish, and that the sum
of P-1110/. should be given to him for arrears of tithe for the
term of four years
31r. Bx A lIC AMP rose to propose that these terms should be
recommended to the Tithe Committee for their sanction. It
appeared that the aunt demanded by the Rector would amount
to about ls. in the pound.
• Mt. FEARO observed that the Offer which was now submitted
to the Meeting was one which the Rector had rejected, through
his Solicitor, When he (hit. Pearon) and two other Gentlemen
waited upon him, Indeed, he had rejected various Measures
of conciliation, and the probability was, that he made the pro.
sent concession because Government had eipressell a wish, as
the Committee bad been informed, through a Member of the
House ofeounnons, that something of the kind should be done.
But it appeared the most prudent course to agreed to the
resolution, although it should be distinctly understood that
neither respect not attachment attended the acquiescence.
A motion far adjournment was then negatived by a vast ma.
jprity, and the original motion was carried. The draught of
the petition to Parliament for a bill to the effect above stated
was read and agreed to; and thanks being given to the Tithe
Committee for their labours, that Committee was dissolved, and
the meeting separated. Thus ends the question of tidies in this
perish.

that the Royalists had evacuated the Provinces
'Parma, Jauja, And lluamanga, and retired to
Ituancavelica, on the approath of the expedition
under the orders of General ALYARADO, who exi

CIAARGB oc ARUM—Yesterday Sir Richard
Birnie and G. R. Minshulj, Esq. were occupied
during the principal part of the day in investi-
gating the charge of Arson against John a one,
who was brought up for examination. Some
fresh evidence was adduced, among which was
that of Mrs. Gibb's husband, and of Mr. Beetham,
the Secretary td the Fla& insurance Company.
The Prisoner was again remanded till Saturday

WEIOVErt I AN Sber Satttnlay *e were
highly gratified by having an opportunity of hearing an account
of the dissection of that very lure and curious animal the Oast
r.
Tttatttcirxeus PARADOX Us. The results of fernier dissections,
as published by the celebrated euvier and some others, have been
entirely overthrown by the discoveries of Dr. Knox, so far as
they related to a very extraordinary horn er spur which pros
Jests from the heel of the animal's hinder foot, inclining in.
wards towards its body. Previously to Dr. Knox's most accu-
rate examination of it, this spur, us it was found only as
the male specimens of the genus, was supposed to have
served the purpose of a prehensile to seize its mate ; but
Dr. Knox has demonstrated that it is Connected with a gland
which secretes poison, and that It enables the animal to de-
stroy its enemies or its prey. As Providence furnishes all
its creatures with some provision or other tier those purposes.
we may remark, that the necessity of the Ornithorhyn_
cus having some weapon, offensive and defensive, is very
obvious, upon considering the shape of its mouth, which very
much resembles the bill of a duck. Dr. Knox also made some
curious observations on the structureof other parts of the online!,
particularly of the ear, which seems to be entirely internal: we
regret the impossibility of our following but the remarks of this
anatoinist. Dr. Yule read a paper, in which he disclosed a ilis-
coltery that he made in the germination of plants, which, as fir
at our information extends, is new. Independently of the
radicle and plutnule with which seeds are furnished, and which
are most easily observed in the leguminateous class, they
are also provided with vascular membranes that contain the
embryos of additional plumules, which will push forth if the
shoot happen to he injured. We never recollected to have
heard that these vascular receptacles have been noticed by
other pliyeiologists, but they will at once acedunt for the tiller:
or side shoots, which some species of seeds, particularly wheat,
throw out.---( Edinburgh Observer, May ito
A few days since, we stated that we had seen
the " Prospectus of a Scottish Military Academy," but not
having had tune to look at it ininutely on that occasion We now
revert to the subject. In the first place, then, we most heartily
approve of any attempt to enlarge the opportunities of commu-
nicating and acquiring knowledge of eitery description ; and
with respect to the peculiar branches of information; which
conic properly within the scope of a itfl/itoey Academy, we
cannot but observe that Scotland is at present, under great di:i-
advantaget.—Ne young man of this part of the kingdom has an
opportunity of preparing himself for the service, to the way
which all officers should be prepared, without goilig, ut a very
great expense, to the South of England. This is a very
serious inconvenience, anti is certainly one of - the objec-
tions to the splendid establishment at Sandhurst, in Ilerkshire
tin objection which cannot be obviated by Government with-
out incurring a great national expt'nee. Viewing the subject
in this light, we cannot but think that a:Military Acedemy
Edinburgh must be regarded as a great advantuge to the pu-
blic, not only by bringing the means of education home to us
also in consequence of retaining the revenues necessary for
the support of the pupils anti the masters amongst our.-
selveit. It is impossible for us, to say whether the /modem
now'projected is such as will supply the deficiency of whit'.;
we complain, though, by consulting the prospectus clone, we
should say it would. Mr. Scott, who will superintend the Sccalit—
my, is, as we have heard front Gentlemen well acqualoted
with him, a very good soldier, told fully aware of what is te-
(visite for a member of the military profession to be acquiiinted
with. As far, then, as these urrangenicrite g,o, it scents to is.
