EDINBURGH, Nov. 13.

pßEsivvrEity OF EptNnurtafff.--The Presby.
tery of Edinburgh met on monde'', agreeably to adjournment,
and took into consideration the application from the Kirk Ses-
sion of St. Cuthbert's, nominating the Rev. James Henderson
to be Minister of the new Chapel of ease, Claremont-street,
Stockbridge. A bond for a suitable provision to Alt Hender-
son was produced, subscribed by a numerous body of the
managers ; and the Presbytery being fully satisfied with the
security offered, sustained the nomination and other papers laid
on the table, and appointed the admission of Mr. Henderson
to take place on Thursday the 27th of November; the Rev
Lewis Balfour, Minister of Colinton, to preach and preside on
the occasion. The chapel is to be opened on Sabbath first,
when the Rev. David Dickson is to preach and serve Mr.
Henderson's edict.
ALL HatLow-Famt.—This great annual fair commenced
on Tuesday.—The supply of cattle was not. so large as last
year ; prices were from I6s. to 20s. higher than at that time;
and a good many drovers were in the market, but did not pur-
chase at the high rates. A good deal of business was, how.
ever, done. Two-years-old Highland cattle brought from 2!.
to 4/. ; four-year-old, from 01. to 91.55. 'West Highland cattle,
front 61. to 71. Cattle for turnips sold from 41. to ss. per stone,
sinking offals ; a heavy and dull sale. Cattle brought from
Doune Fair could scarcely maintain their price. A few good
short-horned queys, one-year-old, sold from 4/. 10s. to N. per
head. Fat cattle from ss. to Os. ficl. per stone, sinking offids ;
and a particular lot, bought by a Glasgow butcher, brought as
high as 7s. per stone. A great many cattle reintined unsold.—
There were a considerable number of horses in the Grass-
market;—but little business was done. Yesterday, the sale of
cattle was very dull, and prices somewhat lower titan on
Tuesday. There Were a great number of fine horses in the
Grassmarket, which met with a brisk sale, particularly thosf:
for draught; prices from 251. to 30/. Carriage horses were not
In much request ; price from 28/. to 40/.
CLAN OREGOR SOCIVTY.—We understand that this So.
ciety, which was only established about a year ago, is now in
a very flourishing state. Its object is the education of the poor
of the name; and subscriptions, we are glad to find, are daily
pouring in, in furtherance of this laudable design. The edu-
cation of the people is of the last and most vital importance,
and upon it may be said to bang the main springs of a coun
try's prosperity and greatness. The establishment, therefore,
of such a society as the Clan Gregor Society, is an event we
hail with much pleasure and gratification, and it gives us sa-
tisfaction to learn that it has been enabled to commence its ope-
rations under very auspicious circumstances. A bursary in
the Glasgow College, in .the gift of the society, was presented
to a young person of the name, a few weeks ago, and in addi-
tion to the establishment of bursaries, but here and elsewhere,
it is proposed to lay aside a great portion of the funds of the
society towards the education of the lower classes of persons of
the name, and in general of those whose future occupations and
employments in life may render a classical education, in its
literal sense, necessary.
PALACE of FALKLAND.—We are gratified to learn, that
the Royal Palace of' Falkland, formerly the favourite resi-
dence of severaloof our ancient Scottish Sovereigns has lately
undergone important improvements, and is destined to receive
further protection In the course of' next season, so as to arrest
the ravages of time. Mr. Bruce, now proprietor of the ex-
tensive and valuable estate of Falkland, and, as such, Heritable
Keeper of the Palace, has enclosed the grounds immediately
attached to it, cOnsisting of several acres, with a substantial
wall of freestone, about eight feet in height. The enclosed
space forms a garden ground, which is kept in good order, and is
open to the public. Phis is as it should be. Had the Keepers
of the several Royal Palaces in Scotland acted in the same pa.
triotic manner as Bruce is now doing, Scotsmen of the present
dav, instead of lamenting the ruined anti iliiiipidattsi appear-
ance which the Palaces now exhibit, might have looked with
pride upon the perfect preservation of these Royal residences.
It'e hope that the noble example afforded by Mr. Bruce, will
operate as a stimulus uppn the other Keepers, and that they
will in future bestow. more attention upon their respective
charges;
keeping in mind that the.revenues derived from their
offices are not intended for the emolument of any individuals,
but as funds field by them in trust for keeping In repair those
memorials of Scottish sovereignty.
ReseanecrioN. ME:sr.—An attempt was made early on
Monday morning last, to raise the body of a woman in the
church yard of Tranent, fortunately for the feelings of the de.
ceased's relatives, they did not succeed in their appalling office,
being scared by the illirlister's dog, who Was la loose by the
servants at Ibur o'clock in the morning. They had got down
to the coffin, and were in the act of tearing it open, when fear
seizet I the unfeeling wretches anti they made off; leaving the
n tutu the implements of their trade behind them.
Tuve o. enlhese consisted of an iron hook, with a handle to fetrs e open
the lid of • the coffin, a sack, a rope, a anarp.pointed stick, and
.
a handkerchief.

(From Mr Arm Monthly 4Vsitarine.)
Such is the attractive title of one of those Pa-
risian publications, which from their union of a refined and pi-
qUant style with great licentioitaness of matter—from their
abundance of caustic satire, or playful bantering, with the most
barefaced want of principle—and from the employinent of a
cultivated, subtle, and even delicate intellect to inculcate the
grossest sensuality, may be pronounced eminently and empha.
deafly French.
After having decided in his first chapter that Marriage, be-
sides its political, religious, social, sentimental, and patriotic
considerations, has also its gymnastic division, and that man-
nikins, pigmies, as yell' as all rickety and .deformed
,cripples;
ought to be prohibited by law from sullying by the"r abortions
the noble and superb theatre of propagation our author reminds
his readers that the wedding-day is like the day of judgment,
when poor mortals must be exhibited In theirtrue colours, with.
out veil or disguise; and subsequently compares the same pe-
riod to Ash Wednesday, when the Carnival-folks, having no
longer any body to deceive, finish by throwing off the mask.
Women in search of a husband are audaciously likened to cri-
minals, who, knowing that they must be ruined by the truth,
conceal it by the most complicated subterfuges; the slanderer
does not hesitate to state that they have recourse to pads and
mechanical stays to hide the crookedness, and that, as to their
mental defects, the veriest Fury will put their claws into lamb.:
skin, and exhibit honey upon her lips while her heart is rank-
ling with gall. This being established, craft becomes justifi-
able on the part of the wooer ; marriage, like diplomacy, has
its Machlavelism, and as it occasionally becomes indispensable
to sacrifice a rustic and ridiculous frankness to the interests of
the heart, or of a good establishment, the following instrue-
dons are to be diligently studied if the mother of your intended
should fortunately happen to be one of those blue-stocking
dames who deal in metaphors and romance, or are continually
spouting their own rambling stanzas.
This advantage, exclaims our Viscount, "is still better than
to have one of those voluminous mammas, who under the
weight of ten good lustres and an undulating fat, are not the
less solicitous to aear, young and simper their girlish graces
with ppset of teeth from Desirabode, and a head of hair from
Michalon. Yes, a literary or rhyming mother-in-law is, in my
opinion, the summit of felicity for a clever bridegroom. There
is no bird-lime of surer effect than flattery for catching a wo-
man who loves to see herself in print : in this case, you learn
by heart some of her sonniferous productions ; of course you
fall into extacies or swoon away at every verse ; in pastoral and
elegy Madame Deshoulieres and Madame Dufresnois, are but
ninnies and simpletons, you exclaim, compared to your
eleventh Muse; then it is that yourself will also try to com-
pose some little poems and madrigals, modest dwarfs presnm-
ing not to approach the giants which your eleventh Muse gives
you every morning to digest, and finally you hire, at whatever
expence, some journalist or review, who, although rarely of
his own opinion, but always of that of his purse,.will lavish
his typographical incense and venal enthusiasm, which you
have taken care to purchase for ready money. Oil 1 don't be
uneasy upon this subject; there are 2.0 ways of creeping into
the
.good graces of a lady-author, who quits her household
affairs to shoot, like Icarus, into a romantic immortality.
Sometimes, I confess, the task is tiresome. What a nuisance
to be daily overwelmed at dinner in the drawing-room, at
breakfast, even at the theatre, with bundles of verses and end-
less rhymes, whose harmonious and pompons delivery pursues
you even in your dreams ! Not to be able to swallow a mouth-
ful at table without having it rendered insipid by some so-
norms strophe which buzzes in your ear ! To be forced
to cry out charming ! beautiful ! while you mutter to your
self, what wretched stuff! But, on the other hand, take a
bird's-eye view of the handsome fortune which is to be
the reward of this heroic complaisance; contemplate, moreover,
that heap of canvas bags through which the fine live-franc
pieces are seen to model their bright diameter; those bank-
notes which are well worth all your love-letters ; that gold,
source of every prosperity ; that glittering furniture in maho-
gany and rose-wood ; those Ottomans ; that superb marriage.
bed, of mushroom colour or jonquil ; those golden doves which
are billing over the canopy ; those purple curtains; the obse-
quious valet-de-chambre with his plumeon ; the lady's maid
with pockets to her apron ; and, above all, those parchment mar-
tinge articles upon which the law itulf has engraved the gua-
rantee of your fortune."
For the benefit or all aspiring bachelors, we extract our au-
thor's " Vrai Code de Pftynten :"
" Instead of falling in love with a grisette, who has no other
patrimony than her fillies and roses, her plump graces, and her
wreath of flowers, the whole in a furnished garret at ill francs
a month, look out for a good bulky dowager, or an imposing
and substantial baroness of fitty-tive, who thinks freely at
every meal her bottle of best efaret, never reads any thing
but her cook's bill of fare, and knows to a nicety when a
pullet is well-dressed. A solid and discreet man who ties
the matrimonial knot with a woman of this description, un-
derstands his true interests : instead of wasting his youth in
the dust of a counting-house, or scribbling in a lawyer's office,
our gentleman discourses, with 11 complatent pride about his
chauteau, his garden-wall which he is going to rebuild, his
hounds, his monkey, and his newspapers ; arid throws a pa-
tronizing glance, as he walks, upon his former companions,
to whom he has refunded, by the hands of is third person, cer-
tain half-crown pieces, which they bed formerly lent him to
buy a dinner. For Heaven's sake never indulge in any tiling
romantic ala Oswald, a 14 Corinne ; that superb apparatus of
sentiments mrified in the alembic of Platonism soon vanisher at
the sight of misery ; and when you are left in a wretched loft
with a mistress full of sensibility, do you know what remains
of those marriages which are sneeringly termed the union of
hunger and thirst ? mutual regrets—manuscripts of romances,
and pawnbrokers' duplicates. Reflect, then, seriously, con-
jugalizers of both sexes, before you submit yourselves to the
empire of a sentiment ; anticipate the future fate of the Venus,
or the Apollo, who has captivated you, and do not imagine that
this fire-work of the heart can be of long continuance. Alas
softer the fine Catherine wheel has been let off at Tivoli, there
remains nothing but blackened scatiblding, scorched paste.
littletni any better husbands,
than a
board, and the had odour of sulphur •t a
i o
nt
marriage, after the honeymoon, appears
Tivoli tirework."

I. following is the first speech of a iitsd oti

of the realm, whom he had summoned, by Royal mandate, to
London. lie had Rupplan ted his brother, Robert of Norman.
dy, in his right to the English crown, and, being apprehensive
of that injured relative's vengeance, he endeavoured, by the
most artful INitlttlitiOtim, to engage the Barons anti other No.
bles in his interests:--" My friends and faithful subjects, both
foreigners and natives, you all know very well that my brother
Robert was both called by tied and elected King of Jerusalem,
which he might have happily governed, and how shamefully
he refused that rule'for which be justly deserves God's angt'r
and reproof. Yen know also, in many other instances, his pride
and brutality; because he is a roan that delights. in war and
bloodshed, I know that he thinks you a parcel of con-

QUEEM.SQUA ay.—(Daring Ilarglar•/.)--21'his
morning information arrived ut this Office of a
most daring burglary and robbery baying been
committed at the house of RALPH PALMER, Esq.,
No. :13, Curzon-street, May Fair. It appears
that about half-past eight o'clock on Sunday
evening, the housekeeper had occasion to go up
stairs to her room, the door of which she
found locked within side, and she distinctly
heard voices in the room. She instantly gave an
alarm, and the room door was forced open, when
it was discovered that every thing that was port-
able had beed carried off, consisting of 15 sove-
reigns, table linen, wearing apparel, and other ar-
ticles to a large amount. It appeared that the
robbers had gained their entrance from the next
house (34), which is unoccupied, and getting out
at the garret window, entered that of Mr. Palmer
14 the same means, and effected their escape the
way they entered. Mr. Palmer has offered a
large reward for the detection of the burglars,
and the Police are in active pursuit of them.

COACII ROBBERY.---114 twelve o'clock Union
coach, which leaves. Canterbury for Loudon, was
robbed about eight o'clock. in the evening of Sa-
turday last, on Blackheath. It appears that the
coach passed a cart on the road, in which were
three men, but they did not excite any suspicion
Until the guard, hearing a Unite on the seat below
where he was sitting, alighted to see if all was
safe in the box behind. The night was very dark,
but the guard observing a man making away
with a trunk, he immediately followed and se.
cared him, when a determined scuffle ensued.--
The coachman, having placed the reins in the
hands of a passenger, went to the assistance of
his companion, and knocked the robber down ;
they secured him, as well as the horse and cart
which had been deserted, and conveyed him to
Deptford. After an examination, before the Ma-
gistrates, he was committed to hlaidstone gaol to
take his trial. A new great coat belonging to
the coachman was stolen, and carried off by the.'
two highwaymen who escaped.
