Mrs. COUTTS, after nearly two years mourn-
ing for the death of her husband, has returned

A (Gentleman, on whose judgment we place
the greateSt reliance, well acquainted with Spain
about twenty-five years ago, was lately in a com-
pany of the unfortunate exiles`from that country.
He observed to ns. et The Spardards of the pre-
vent. (lay are, I find, a very different set of beings
from those I was acquainted with. I will venture
to say that it would have been impossible to
find throughout the whole country then, one
single individual-possessed of the abilities and
information displaYed by most of the company.
The improvement 'in the mean time has been very
great indeed. The imbecility and ignorance
of the higher ranks of Spaniards, formerly,
are hardly to be conceived by Englishmen ;
Judge then of my iurprize to find myself among
'a number of men speaking the Spanish language,
equally distinguished by strength of mind and
extensive information."—(Morning Chronicle.)
Dr...H(IIAR; Bishop of New York, has ar•

Mr. Cost (Lord Alton), eldest son of the Earl of Brownlow.
—The Countess of Brownlow was the younger daughter of Sir
Abraham Hume, by the Lady Amelia Egerton, his wife, who
was sister to the Earl of Bridgewater. Sophia, the elder;
daughter of Sir A. flume, Bart., married the Right lion. C.

'f he Rev. Mr. MATTHEWS, who preached at
St. James's Church, Piccadilly, Sunday morning, from the text
`• Fools make a mock at sin," (Prot'. xiv. ch. 9. ver.) pointed,
in impressive and eloquent language, to the appalling murder
which so deeply interests the public mind, as a melancholy and
awful example of human depravity, originating in bad com-
pany, and a scornful disregard of religious duties. He la-
mented that the unparalleled atrocity of the deed indicated a
fearful change in the national character, and denounced gamb-
ling as a vice which, beyond all others, tended to vitiate and
brutify the heart. When dishonourable .exptslienta and fraud
failed to retrieve loss of money, despair and revenge impelled
the gamester deliberately and ruthlessly to perpetrate crimes
from which, in the outset of his career, he would have recoiled
with horror. The congregation listened with an earnestness
which evinced how deeply their minds were impressed with the
dreadful subject. " •
At a meeting' of • the Presbytery of Glasgow,

resignation, by a letter, in which he stated
in substance, that having been appointed Pro,
fessor 'of Moral Philosophy in the University'
of St. Andrew's, and as his installation will take
place on the 14th, current, it was with deep
emotions, and sentiments of unfeigned esteem
for every Member of the Presbytery, that he
tendered to them his resignation of the 'charge
of St. John's parish. But he did not resign
the office of the Ministry, of the importance
of which he was well aware, and which he would
always hold in the highest estimation. lie request-
ed that they would not declare the Church va-
cant till he was installed in his new office, •of
which he would give due intimation to the NU-.

derator. Dr. M‘Lean, Dr. Taylor, Dr. Ran-
kine, Mr. Dow, and Dr. M'Gill, spoke in high
terms of the able ministry of Dr. Chalmers, who
returned thanks in a nee:. speech, and the Pres•
bytery accepted his resignation in the terms of the
letter.

prove premature.—(Chester Chronicle.,)
