CONTROTIMST lESPECTING TIRR BI !Mt.-A

meeting between the Catholic priests and the
Clergymen of the Established Church, was held
at Carrick-on-Shannon, for the purpose of ar-
going the propriety of an indiscriminate perusal
of the Scriptures. Previously to the meeting,
the Magistrates were applied to by several re-
spectahle Roman Catholics of the town and
neighbourhood, to prevent the discussion ; but
tl.ey, after a long consultation, refused to inter-
fere. The Grand Jury room was the place ap-
pointed for the meeting. The meeting termi-
nated as might have been foreseen, leaving the
parties immediately concerned in it just where it
fouud them, equally firm in his own opinion.
Although there were but six speakers, the
discussion ran to an extraordinary length, and it
was not distinguished by any very eloquent or
powerful display of oratory.
Cuuncii Revemnes IN Russta.—The inc tins
of a Metropolitan does not exceed 800!. a-year ; that of an
Archbishop 000!.; and of a Bishop 5001. ; sums apparently at
small as persons of their rank can possibly subsist on, even in
Russia. They are, however, allowed a conllerable sum an-
nually for the purposes of charity.
CAUTION TO S vam.—Two valuable horses
belonging to one of the Quorndon Hunt were dearrny-
ed at Beeby, on Saturday morning last, from suffocation,
We understand that the groom had incautiously left a candle
burning against a wall while he quitted the stable for some
purpose, which falling upon the ground, set fire to some straw,
and caused their death a few minutes afterwards. One of the
horses is said to have cost its owner more than 200 guineas.
EDINDURGYI AND DALKEITII ItAILW A Y.—On
this subject, in which the mutual interests of the inhabitants
of this city, and of the proprietors and general po', u at:an
of the eastern district of the county, are so unveriatly in-
volved, by the ample supply and cheap conveyance to
Edinburgh of coal, lime-stone, grain, and return of goods
and manure to the country, we have much satisfacti
in referring our readers to the spirited and considerate
resolutions of the Noblemen and Gentlemen concerned in that
necessary, important, and rational improvement, by which, at.
an average distance of five miles, this ci y will be for age*
completely supplied with coal, &c. of the best quality.—(Edirs
burgh Courtrai.)
ORGANIC REMAINS IN Sussex.-- work-
men employed in forming the tunnel under the road at Kemp-
town, near Brighton, discovered numerous teeth and bones,
which were at that supposed to be part of human skeletons, but
upon being examined by a gentleman conversant with alien
subjects, were ascertained to belong to the hnrae and elephant.
—Similar organic remains are commonly found in thluvial
beds, like that on which Brighton is situated, and are evidently
the remains of those land-animals which were destroyed by the
Deluge. The town is built upon an accumulation of water-
worae materials which fill up a valley of the chalk. A short time
since a rib of a large animal, supposed to be that of an elephant,
was discovered in the bank on the west side of Shoreham liar-
bour. Mr. Mantel' has discovered in the iron-sandstone of this
county, the teeth of an herbivirous reptile of a gigantic magni-
tude. This animal approaches nearer to the Iguana of Barba-
does, than to any other recent lizard, and it is proposed to dis-
tinguish it by the name of 'guano-auras. Detached parts of
the skeleton, as vertebras, thigh bones, &c. have also ha :n found,
of which a particular account will be laid before the scientific
public. Mr. Mantel' has part of a thigh bone in his pooh:ssion;
which there is every reason to conclude is referable to this ani-
mal ; its size is so great, that, upon a moderate computation,
the individual to which it belonged must have equalled the ele-
phant iu height, and been upwards of sixty feet long.—(Surs.la
Advertiser.)
BRUTAL OuTaane.—A man named Thomas
Waren was put to the bar at Bow-street Office th:s day,
charged with a most wanton and brutal outrage on the person
of a young lady named flawlinson, about nine o'clock last
night, in Lisle-street, Leicester-square. The prisoner, it s !clu-
ed, had mistaken the character of the lady, and after a series of
unmanly attacks, at length proceeded to violence, and actually
knocked her down. Souse porsons, however, came to her aa-
sistance, and the fellow was taken into custody. lie pleaded
inebriation as an excuse, but he was ordered to find good bad
for his appearance at the Sessions.
Daring Robberies al the Dreagfal Fire last,
night.—On very few occasions were the thieves
more numerous, or more daring, than on ths
present occasion. Deformation was this day
given of no less than 17 robberies, and Several of
them, we regret to state, of a considerable
amount. The Justice Room at Guildhall was
this morning crowded. There were no less than

and impudence. They attacked a Gentleman
named Wilson, resident in Edward-street, Surrey.-
road, and having cleared out every pock. t but one
on his left side, actually contrived to cut away the
greater part of the left breast of his coat, with
which and its contents, a pocket•hook containing
some very valuable documents, they effected
their retreat. So systematic were their plans
laid, that the unfortunate individual, on whom
they had axed for their prey, had no chance of
escape,
