KIRK AGITATION.

The Dissenters of Fife held a meeting in Cupar on
Monday last, for the purpoie of exposing the misrepresen-
tations of the speakers at the Non-Intrusion meeting held
there on the preceding Thursday.
ST. ANDREWS.—The students of St. Mary's and the
United College met in the Town-hall on Saturday last,fc,r
the purpose of taking into consideration the present posi-
tion of the Church of Scotland. The meeting which had
been called by the Vetoists ended in their resolutions being
rejected, and those of the opposite party being carried 133
large majority. The proceedings were very uproarious.
We understand that a very numerous and highly respec-
table requisition is in progress in the county of Banff, for
callimg a county meeting, to be held on an early day, for
expressing their regret and reprobation of the recent pro-
ceedings of the Commission of the General Assembly of
the Church of Scotland, and to declare the determination
of the requisitionists to support the laws of the realm.

PRESBYTERY OF ABERDEEN.—At the meeting of this
Presbytery, on Tuesday, Mr. Leslie of Fintray brought
forward a motion in reference to the recent proceedings of
the Church. The substance of the motion was that the
eto Law, being unsound and illegal, ought to be rel
scinded—and, in reference to the consequeAces of the ad-
mission of Ministers and Elders of quoad sacra parishes,
that the Presbytery should overture the venerable Assem-
bly to take steps to remedy the evils complained of. Dr.
Forsyth seconded the motion. Dr. Brown met it by a
direct negative ; and, after a long debate, the Presbytery
divided, when Dr. Brown's motion was carried by a majo-
rity of 21 to 9.
DUNDEE PRESBYTERY.—Petitions for the Legislature,
id favour of the non-intrusion principle, were adopted by
the Presbytery of Dundee,. on the sth instant, by a ma-
jority of 23 to 7.
DUNDEE.—The Magistrates of Dundee have intimated
to the Committee of General Sessions their withdrawal
of the interdict against the use of the Town Churches• _

At the ordinary meeting of the Presbytery of Greenocks
on Wednesday, Dr. M'Farlan brought forward a motioa
that the Court petition Parliament in favour of the prin-
ciple of non-intrusion, and the spiritual independence ?f
the Church. Mr. Menzies moved a counter resolution in
a speech which lasted nearly three hours. The Presbyter?
then adjourned from five till seven in the evening, when
the debate was resumed, and was continued till half-past
twelve o'clock, when, on a division being come to, there
voted for Dr. M'Farlan's motian 18, and for Mr. Men'
zies's 3.

STATE OF TRADE.—WO are glad to state that
the extreme depression which prevailed in this market on Tues-
day last, has given way to a rather more cheerful feeling. 00
Thursday and yesterday there was a very fair demand for yarup
and the spinners found it easy to effect sales, though without
obtaining any advance of price. In the goods market there
was not quite so much elasticity; but still some improvement
was manifested, and manufacturers appeared in rather better
spirits than at the commencement of the week.—Manchester
Guardian.

THE INVERNESS BURGHS.-Mr. MOrriSOth
the new candidate on the Liberal interest for this district of
burghs, arrived here yesterday from London, in company kithi,,t,h
Edward Ellice, jun.; Esq., M.P. Mr. Morrison and Mr.
lice came by way of Edinburgh, where they remained during
Sunday, and proceeded ncrth next day by the Perth mall:
et,
They have been visiting part of the electors, and a canvass will
immediately commence over the burghs. We understand the
Honourable Gentleman will lose no time in calling public
meetings to meet the different constituencies. Mr. Ellice has
been gladly welcomed by his old friends here, with whom h 6
made so noble a stand in 1 835 (losing his election by only focir
votes), and by whom he has ever since been remembered wit",
affectionate regard. Mr. Macleod, of Cadboll, has announce"
that it is not his intention again to solicit the suffrages of the
electors. The reasons which have induced him to withdrairt
arise, he states, from no change of political opinion, but are
such as could not, in any degree, interest the public.—hives''
