TRURO. JUNE 6.

A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the
Lords and Adventurers in the Cornish mines was held at
Truro, on Wednesday afternoon, to lay before the meeting
the result of the exertions of the committee appointed to
apply to Government for protection against the foreign
ores which are importing into this country. The Earl of
Falmouth was called to the chair, when a series of reso.
lotions were carried, and a committee of the Lords, Ad-
venturers, and most experienced persons connected with
the mines in the county appointed to carry the resolutions
into effect. From what transpired at the meeting in the
course of the Noble Chairman's address, it appeared that
memorials bad been presented to Government calling on
his Majesty's Ministers to protect the mining interest by
placing on copper ores imported into this country such a
duty as would prevent that serious injury to tbe mining
interests of this county, which would inevitably take place
if the present system was continued ; but that Ministers
were not disposed to grant the relief sought for. The
noble Chairman very forcibly showed that the benefits
which were likely to be derived to this country by working
foreign mines with English capital, were as nothing com-
pared to the ruin and devastation which would accrue to
the immense population of the county of Cornwall, were
the mines in that county stopped, one third of the popula-
tion of which were engaged in that employ. The meeting
was also addressed by S. W. Tremayne, J. Danbury, R.
Vivian, M. Williams, E. Turner, and J. Austen, Eirs.
The most unanimous feeling prevailed, and the cordial
thanks of the meeting were voted his Lordship fir his
great exertions in promoting the general interests of tbe
county.

DEPARTURE OF CAPTAIN BACK.—The
Montreal Gazette of May 4, says—" On Thursday morn
ing, Captain BACK, Dr. KING, and the other persons
composing his band of adventurous heroes (accompanied
by Colonel M'DouciALL, and several other civil and mili-
tary gentlemen,) proceeded to Lachine, and after break-
fasting with JAMES KEITH, Esq , at the Honourable
Hudson's Bay Company's house, embarked there about
noon, in canoes, on their voyage to the arctic regions."
The Apothecaries' Company have resolved
upon opening the botanic -.1 garden at Chelsea for the free
admission of medical students during the space of three
hours every day. _ _ _

BARLEY CROP.—A field of barley, about
half a mile from Dumbarton, on the farm of Dalmoak, the
property of ROBERT Drxorr, E,q., of Leven Grove, was
wholly in ear two days ago.
Thursday morning the farm-house of Mr.
GRILLS, at Bishopateignton, was discovered on fire. Every
assistance was rendered by the inhabitants, and there being
a plentiful supply of water, their exertions got the fire
under without material damage. An inquiry was insti-
tuted, and the result was a conviction that the place had
been wilfully set ott_fire.-7Cornubian.

" Independently of the novelty of hearing what
an American Ambassador thinks of us, the information
given by Mr. Rum in his ' Residence at the Court of
London,' of the description of life red by the Ministerial
and Diplomatic circles, must be necessarily new to the
bulk of our readers. This part of the work is pretty
copious, and may be considered a sort of running com-
mentary on the Court Circular. We see what Royal
parties are—what transacting business' at the Foreign
Office means, and so on with the round of proceedings,
which the official newsman honours with his notice—not
certainly very interesting in his dry announcements, hut
curious and amusing enough as touched by Mr. Rusas's
pen ; which is as lively and intelligent as if it had never
indited a protocol."— Spectator.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNES.-

A SUNDAY APPARITION, OR THE UN-
xl•rowri TONGUE IN PARADISE.—After divine service
had commenced on Sunday week, in the parish church of
Saline, the congregation was put into no small consterna-
tion, by some strange sound proceeding at intervals from
about the pulpit, but in a language quite unknown to the
audience, and even to the Rev. Minister himself. As the
parishioners had heard something of the exhibitions of
inspiration that bad lately taken place during public wor-
ship in the south, not a few of them were thinking that
their paradise (the worthy pastor being pleased to style his
parish the paradise of Fife) was to be favoured with a simi-
lar mark of the Spirit through the medium of some gifted
individual. However, they were not long kept in
this state of uncertainty, for, to their utter astonish
went, the form of a calf made its appearance, and took
up a position directly in front of the pulpit, appearing to
listen with devout attention to the sermon—so much so,
that the whole of the congregation were fully satisfied,
from the beast's behaviour, it must he something else than
an ordinary calf. It behaved extremely well during the
service, occasionally assisting at the sing of the psalms.
When the audience were going out, the calf being rather
bewildered by its new company, did not know very well
how to proceed, and finding a pew open where an old lady
was sitting, it walked in and looked very innocently up in
her face, which put her in a sad alarm, as she was no way
sensible of any such a " hearer" being in the kirk. She is
still convinced that there is something more than ordinary
in the circumstance, for, as she says, " who ever heard
before of a calf coming to the kirk ?"—.Edinburgh

HORRIBLE ATROCITIES IN ROSS-SHIRE.
—The atrocities from time to time committed in Ross-
shire—and in every case with impunity—exceed ail belief,
and, if paralleled, are certainly not surpassed by the worst
deeds done in the worst pails of Ireland. In 1826 a gang
of ruffians and incendiaries made repeated attempts to
assassinate a gentleman in Ross-shire, and when they failed
in their diabolical purpose, they killed his horses, ham.
strung his cattle, set fire to some of his houses, and me-
naced with vengeance all who dared continue in his employ.
The year 1827 was distinguished for the houghing of
cattle, the destruction of ornamental planting, and the
burning of houses ; and in the succeeding years similar
outrages were at intervals committed, and, in every case,
with absolute impunity. The cow of one poor man was
strangled when near calving ; the horse of another stabbed
and maimed; pinfolds maliciously opened and cattle let
loose to destroy the growing corn ; and, in some instances,
cows were driven into bogs or morasses, where their tails
were cut off and their ears cropped. One gentleman had
his horses backed over a precipice, his house fired into by
night, and his own life anti that of his family put in such
jeopardy that he was obliged to leave the country. In
September, 1832, a yair, the property of Sir G. Mac-
xxxxxx, of Cool, and another belonging to the Rev. Dr.
Ross, of Lochbroom, were demolished in broad day by a
mob of about a hundred lawless ruffians, armed with
hatchet., who went about their work with perfect deli-
beration, and when one of Dr. Ross's sons attempted to
interpose for the protection of his father's property, they
threatened to hew him in pieces with their axes if be
dared to offer the least resistance ; yet, as usual in Ross-
shire, not one of these miscreants has hitherto been called
to any account for his conduct. But perhaps the most
revolting, if not horrible, atrocity yet remains to be tot&
Only a few nights ago, two horses on the farm of Mr.
Law's Macicirtaix, of Lochbroom, one of them a in,re
in foal, were actually flayed alive, and left an that state by

!LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 7, 1833.

The Paris Papers, which arrived this morning,
allude to a quarrel between some soldiers of the
35Lh Regiment and some other troops of the
garrison. The account, however, is a very slight

one, and would lead the public to believe that
the quarrel had no political origin. Our own

Correspondent gives a very different version of
the affair. The following is a copy of his letter :
PARIS, JUNE 5.
A serious event has just taken place, which confirms
what I have already stated to you respecting the disposition
of the army. The Nlini-terial journals will not fill to treat
he conflict which took place the day before yesterday be-
tween a large portion of some regiments of the garrison at
Paris as a matter of little consequence, and as unconnected
with politics. lamab e, however, from personal inquiry
on the spot, to give you a very different account, and one
on which you may place reliance. You are aware that the
35th Regiment of infantry of the line has acquired an
unfortunate celebrity, by its conduct in firing on the people
during the late troubles at Grenoble, for which the Go-
vernment were compelled to retnove this regiment to La
Vendee—lately, however, it was sent for to P. ris, as
that portion of the army the most compromised with the
people, and therefore the most likely to serve the Go-
vernment, in the event of any new disturhance.
Since its arrival in the capital, the 35th has been the
olject of hatred and disdain to the other troops of the
Garrison, and it was evident that the slightest pretext
would be sufficient to produce an open quarrel.
The opportunity presented itself the day before yes-
terday, and was seized with eagerness. Some sol-
diers of the regiment of Curabineers a cheval, the
elite of the French army, and some infantry of
the 35th Regiment, met in the same public-house,
near the barriere de l'ecole milituire, where each went
for the purpose of drinking. The Carabineers forth-
with entered into conversation upon the conduct of
the 35th at Grenoble, which they denominated as

infamous. The soldiers of the 35th thinking their
own honour attacked with that of their regi-
ment, answered that they had only done their duty,
and were ready to do it again. Both parties drew their
swords and attacked each other with the greatest rage.
The report of the combat soon reached the barracks of the
military school, and the soldiers of the two regiments
ran to the assistance of their respective comrades. Some
soldiers of the artillery, and a few dragoons also, joined the
Carabineers, so that, in less than half an hour more than
600 men were upon the spot engaged in the combat.
The 35th were repulsed from position to position as
far as the gates of their barracks. In vain did the
Guard of Service, the civil authorities, an Aide-de-
camp of Marshal Soult, and the Commandant of
Paris attempt to separate the combatants. The
engagement lasted from six o'clock in the evening
till eleven at night, and when at length the combatants
nail been separated, they began fighting partial duels,
which were continued up to the following morning
ilthough the Minister of War had ordered off the
carabineers to Versailles, the artillery to Vincennes, and
the 35th to a barrack at the other extremity of the
city, where they are to remain until they cm be sent on
foreign service, it being impossible that they should con-
tinue to form part of the garrison at Paris. It is impos-
sible at present to say with certainty what has been the
result of this conflict. It is generally believed, however,
that ten or twelve were killed, and about thirty wounded.
Considered in itself, this affair is not of great importance,
but taken with reference to the cause which produced it,
and as showing the disposition of the army, it is calculated
to excite great uneasiness in the Government.

We understand that overtures have been
made by the French KING to M. DECAZES, but
that the latter has refused to join the Ministry
whilst the KING continues to act as President
of the Council. He also stipulates for the ap-
pointment of Marshal CLOZEL as Governor of
Algiers.

It is a curious fact that whilst the friends of
Don MIGUEL were making a strong effort in
the House of Lords to serve his cause in this

country, and complaining of the Government
for permitting vessels and arms to be sent
out to him by our merchants, the Mi-
guelite agents were in treaty for four steam-
boats and a quantity of arms and stores for
the service of their employer. Up to a late hour
yesterday evening the negotiation was still pro-
ceeding.

We are happy to state that the Duke of
RICHMOND and M. COMTE are likely to agree
as to the establishment of a daily mail between
London and Paris. Several leading points have
been already finally settled between them.

Colonel DA vrEs's motion last night in the
House of Commons, that " An humble address
be presented to his MAJESTY, regretting the
continuance of hostilities in Portugal, and iex-
pressive of the grateful acknowledgments of that
House for the conduct pursued by his Majesty's
Ministers with respect to the affairs of that

country," was carried by an overwhelming ma-
jority, amounting to not less than 263 ! This
result is just such as might have been anticipated,
even though the whole moral and political in-
fluence of the " white staves" (on which the
Upper House seemed to lay such stress) was
brought to bear against it. It is SWIFT, we
believe, who observes, that in nine out of ten
cases, the gilt-headed cane is by far the most
intellectual part of a physician. How this may
he, we know not, but sure are we that the Dean's
remark will apply with singular propriety to the
" white staves" of certain Noble Conservatives.
Lord MORPETH seconded the motion in a
speech of much point and ability. He dwelt
upon the glaring inconsistency—he might have
used a more forcible term—of the Episcopal
Bench combining its energies to prop up a cause
built upon a disregard of all moral and political
obligations. His Lordship hinted surprise at
such conduct on the part of the Rev. Prelates.
We should be surprised only had it been other-
wise. True, Don MIGUEL is not exactly a
pattern of evangelical immaculateness ; true, he
cannot (in the strict sense of the term) be styled
a saint, inasmuch as he has the unlucky draw-
backs of some dozen murders, together with
a few hundred odd supplemental enormities,
on his consciet.ce ; still he has his redeeming
qualities—he is a sound and orthodox church-
man, with a strong sympathetic affection for the
backslidings and abuses of the Portuguese hie-
rarchy. This it is that, in the eyes of our
Episcopal Bench, throws a sacred halo round
his character. " How is it possible," says
FIELDING'S Innkeeper, " that Mr. JONES can
be a profligate ; I never saw a gentleman spend
his cash so handsomely ?" " How is it pos-
sible," chorus the Bishops, " that Don MI-
GUEL can be a despot ; never yet was there
a man who showed such affection for Mother
Church ? Despite his little peculiarities, he is
as true a saint as any in the Protestant calendar,
and, as such, we must and will support him."
How worthy of Episcopal adoption is this Por-
tuguese babe of grace !
The Rev. Prelates have not improved their
situation by their recent vote. The ship in which
they were embarked, was not a little leaky be-
fore. They have now started another plank ;
and, we fear, will soon find their lower decks
under water. Already the breeze is whistling
about their ears. Let them take heed that it do
not soon deepen to a hurricane.
Mr. O'CoNNELL defended Ministers, and
this not tamely or jesuitically, but in a bold,
manly, generous spirit. He threw about his
sarcasms with prodigious effect. Not a point
was lost. Not an argument was thrown away.
Sir R. PEEL expressed himself averse to the
motion. Why or wherefore he scarcely conde-
scended to inform us ; but took refuge instead

in those sonorous generalities and vapid
common-places, in which he does so love
to luxuriate. The Right Hon. Baronet is just
now placed in a cruelly false position. He is a
pendulum that vibrates between Whig and
Tory. At one moment his senses seem to be
intoxicated by the seductive atmosphere of the
Treasury Bench ; the next, to be delighted
and invigorated with the keen, rough, gusty
climate of the Opposition Bench. He stands
mid-way in the House, holding out the right
hand of fellowship to Mr. BARING, and the
left to Lord ALTHottr. The secret of this

doubtful policy is, that the Right Hon. Baronet
has not yet learned to know himself. England
has the advantage of him in this respect. He has
been so long accustomed to be the leading organ
of a party, and as such, to be invested with
undue influence, that he is literally stunned at
the idea of standing, fur the first time, on the
hollow ground of his own personal ability.
His satesmanship was always ricketty, and re-
quired a crutch ; that crutch being now knocked
from under him, down comes the bewildered Tory
to the ground.
As regards the discussion of last night, we
cannot but rejoice in it. It is pregnant with
valuable meaning to the Upper House,—to the
Episcopal Bench especially,—which they will do
well to attend to in time. They have already
had their two warnings ; let them beware the
third, for it will speak in thunder.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday bring no

ews of importance. Intelligence from the East

(which, however, does not seem to rest on any
good authority) states that the Porte, in addition
to Adana, had ceded also the district of Taurus
to MEHEMET ALI, and that IBRAHIM had
commenced his retrogade movement on Syria.
Some popular disturbances are reported to have
taken place in many parts of Switzerland.

Our readers will remember that in the letter
of the Duke of ORLEANS to his father, a copy
of which we were able to give on the 27th ult.,
his Royal Highness states that M. de TALLEY-
RAND had repeated his entreaty to Lours PHILIP
not to set the Duchess of BERRY at liberty,
otherwise than in virtue of a general political
amnesty. The advice struck us at the time as
another proof of the sagacity of the old diplo-
matist, who, under every regime, has endea-
voured to prevent those acts of folly which have
brought about great political changes in France.
M. de TALLEYRAND, whatever may be his real
principles, is at least a prudent politician, and it
would have been well for the Governments

which he has successively served if they had
listened to his counsels. We find by a letter
from Paris, that, notwithstanding the special
pleading of the French Ministry in favour of the
Duchess of BERRY, public opinion in that
capital is decidedly in consonance with that of
M. de TALLEYRAND, and that, although her
release, as an act of grace from LOUIS PHILIP,
without a general political amnesty, may not
lead to an immediate commotion, it will mate-
rially increase the dislike to his Govern-
ment, not only among the mass of the people,
but also in the minds of those who have been
hitherto rather his supporters than his opponents.
As misgovernment in France is generally carried
to an extreme, the present Ministers are deter-
mined to imitate their predecessors in their rou-
tine of political conduct. Not satisfied with
announcing their intention of releasing the
greatest political criminal in France, with no
other punishment than confinement for a few
months in a chateau where every comfort and
luxury awaited her, they have, within the last
few days, taken from the prison of St. Pelagie
five of the patriots of July, who were confined
there for political offences, and sent them to
the dungeons of St. Michel, that loath-
some prison, which was constructed in the
twelfth century for the incarceration of men
who, having become obnoxious to their rulers
by their public virtue, were considered
fit subjects for a long course of torture. This
circumstance appears to have created a great
sensation in Paris. Another event has also
occurred to increase the irritation against Mini-
sters;--four non-commissioned officers of the
garrison of Paris, who had been imprisoned on
a charge of having been present at a ball of the
Society of the Ands du Peuple, have been sent
off, without trial, and in chains, to the Army of
Africa. The propriety of maintaining strict dis-
cipline in the army is not disputed in France ; but
this open contempt of those laws which declare
that a soldier does not cease to be a citizen, excites
almost universal reprehension. If Louis PHILIP
should continue in this course, he will soon find
that the dread of revolution, strong as it is in
France, will not protect him against the necessary
consequences of a series of wanton outrages upon
public opinion. If, being a King, he imagines
that he must follow the example of his peeeces-
sors, he will present another, and the last exam-
ple of a Monarch expiating his own errors, and
those of his Government, by an ignominious
expulsion from his throne and country. 11

Sir ANDREW AGNEW, or St. Andrew, as
the ungodly call him, having been defeated in

his Bill to enable the rich to break the Lord's

Day with impunity, has put two notices of
motion on the books for Bills of a some-
what similar character, but not quite so out-
rageous in their spirit. The first is for a
Bill to enable local authorities to change
Saturday and Monday Fairs and Markets
to other days. Of course, we have no know-
ledge of the provisions of this intended Bill, but

that they must be even more ridiculously absurd
and inconsistent than those of his last Bill, is
clear. To say that there shall be no Monday
fairs or markets, is to say that there shall be no
dealings at all on those days, for, of course,
if it be bad to buy in a market on Satur-
day or Monday it must be equally bad to
buy at a shop. The reductio ad absurdum
is, however, a species of argument the Hon.
Baronet has been so accustomed to have brought
against his schemes that we doubt whether show-
ing him that his present plan will cut off from the
business of the world nearly half the week, will
have any effect upon him. We would, there-
fore, remind him of the conservative fact, that
Saturday and Monday markets have been held
from time immemorial; and what evils have
resulted from them, that would not result from

their being held on any other day, we are at a
loss to imagine. Let Sir ANDREW take counsel
of some friends not infected with his own spi-
ritual Quixotism, and we have no doubt that he
will drop his propositions for making every body
purchase every article of consumption they may
want for the next three days on the Friday,
or if that Friday should happen to be Good
Friday, all they may want till the ensuing Tuesdiy
on the Wednesday previous to Good Friday ;
for, of course, the day before Good Friday must
be held as free from marketing as the day before
and after Sunday. The second Bill of which
he has given notice is one which ourselves sug-
gested some months back. It is a Bill to enable
the elections of officers of Corporations, and other
public Companies, now required to be held on
the Lord's Day, to be held on the Monday or
Tuesday next ensuing. The practice of holding
elections on the Sunday in a number of towns,
which we enumerated on the occasion to which
we refer, ought to be done away with. We only
regret that Sir ANDREW did not bring in the
Bill for effecting this object earlier i❑ the Ses-
sion ; for we fear that there will not now be suf-
ficient time to pass it, although certainly we do not
see what opposition it could meet with materially
to impede its progress. Its being a companion
of the first Bill we have mentioned, and its being
brought in by Sir ANDREW AGNEW, may cause
many to look upon it with suspicion ; but if
properly framed, and discreetly brought forward,
there might be a possibility of its passing even
now. As for the other, if it be at all of an
obligatory nature, we doubt not it will be kicked
out of the House.

We have ascertained that the reason of PA.-
GANINI having advertised this morning that his concert
would not take place to night is, that there were so few
places or boxes taken, as to threaten his finding himself
in an all but empty house ! !

An ingenious piece of mechanism has been
invented by young Louts NAPOLEON BONAPARTE for the
firing of artillery. It affords the important advantages of
firing the guns in the wettest weather, without priming
them, with much greater expedition than usual, and with
perfect certainty and safety. Experiments have been
made in this country since his arrival, and have completely
succeeded, Artillery seems to form the principal study
of this young Prince, as it did that of his great uncle
NAPOLEON in his eatliest years.

MR. GALT'S NEW NOVEL, 44 EBEN
ERSKINE."—" The fertile genius of this eminent writer
has here produced a narrative which becomes doubly in-
teresting from the circumstances of its being a detail of
his adventures in his early life, which is known to have
been singularly chequered. The peculiarity of this writer
is, that not only his train of thought is strikingly ori-
ginal, but his expression also, and it is difficult to peruse
a page without lighting upon some sparkling novelty in
language, which is sometimes picturesque, sometimes odd
and ludicrous, sometimes trenchant and caustic, and
sometimes ingeniously elegant. There is a singular mix-
ture and variety of characters in this work, which are
sketched with a vigorous hand. ' Eben Erskine' is, in
every respect, worthy of the acuteness and fancy of the
author of ' Laurie Todd.' "

Some histories of London move our wonder
by mentioning that at a period comparatively recent, tab-
hits were chased in the fields about Holborn. We I ave
to state that pheasants on Friday last, were shot in New-
gate-street. Several brought to the market for sale
escaped to the tops of the adj 'cent houses, and could only
be brought down again by the gun.
