`Having proceeded to the investigation of the varionr, matters

to a considerable extent; in the . ilighiunds or Islonts of
Scotland I as that part of the thsbjed referred to their consi.;
iteration seems to them most immediately to require the atttoo
tion of Parliament,not only on account of its interesting natured
but on act:Mint of the abuses and suderinc.3 by which it appears
to be attended, That information is -coutained tit several
Reports front the Highland dociety Of Scotland,. and is con-
firmed by various other documents, and by such parole evi.
dence as your COMMittes have been able to procure, and of
which they have annexed. in the Appendix to this Report;
such ExtraCts as appear to them most material.
Your Committee will iMrdediately proceed to the investi4
gation of those measures Which, by Kiting employment at
home to the industry ofa hardy race at people, mar preclude.
them from the necessity of seeking subsistence in diStott
Countries, and which will at the sane. time promote the ge:,
tieral improvement and prosperity of the EM t• but, in
the mean time they think it necessary to call the most serious
attention -of the House to s lifermgs and htrdships which
those who have already emigiated, . appear to have eniimeld
for want of proper- treatment on their passage, which, to
the opinion of your Committee, &Maar{ the inunettiale inter-
position of Parliament, to prevent the reinterence of similar
calamities.

Accounts from Tellicherry stare, that Captain -
WATSON, in his late expedition against UNtmooTA,
drove that Rebel into the Jungles, at Maner Ghaut,.
where, with only ten followers', he took refuge in a
fortified house, seated on a precis ice, and where he
defended himself three hours, with the greatest re.
solution, against a body of fifty men, an almost
cessant fire of musquerry being kept up the. whole
'time. Captain W. finding-all his effurs ineffselual
to reduce the' place, with infinite difficulty found
means to undermine the rock, and blow, it nr, in
consequence of which, the ring-leader, with nine of
his party %vete destroyed. Gooacat., who' was'
next to UNrmuoTa, in his late depredations, was
the person who effeCted his escape ; and a reward
of too° rupees has been offered for his apprehension.
Considerable attention is now paid to Science in
the Turkish Empire :—the GRANa SIGNIOR' has
lately sent the Son of his First Physician to Vienna
to study medicine and chirurgery, in the University
and Hospitals of that Capital.
A fire broke out last Monday morning, at the
Spread Eagle Inn, near the Episcopal Palace, at
Buckden, near Huntingdon, which spread with rapi.
dity in every direCtion, consumed thirteen tent- •
ments,- and property to. the amount of 30001. it
was occasioned by singing a horse's ears in the
stable.—There was another fire at Brampton, two
miles nearer Huntingdon, on the ,same day, which
burnt down a public-house.
The following circumstance, on Tuesday, oc-
curred in the neighbourhood of Bury St. Edmund's :
A fine girl, /8 years of age, and daughter to a
respectable fanner there, conceived an affeetitin for
a young man,
,a tin:nutter belonging to a party of
the Guards, quartered in that town. Some even-
ings since, the father met them walking, in one of
his fields, when he reproved her fur her imprudence,
informing her that the. soldier was married. The
communication su powerfully operated on her mind,
as to induce the resolution of committing suicide ;
and on Tuesday evening, having addressed a letter
to her father, expressive of her purpose, retired to
her chamber, and shot herself. The report alarmed
her sister, who, rushing into the room, found the
unfortunate girl weltering in blood, holding the
pistol in one hand, and a prayer-book in the other.
Chirurgical assistance was immediately obtained,
and the. ball, which entered the body beneath the
left breast, was extracted from the right side, and
she is now in a state of recovery.
MANSION Housee—Saturday a number of water.
men were summoned before the Lotto MAYOR, on
a charge of refusing to wear badges in their hats
with the number of their boats. Only one of these
attended : and his Lordship deferred entering on the
subjed.• He at the same time observed, that the
warennen should he compelled to wear the badges.
The 'Beadle of the Watermen's Company they
had no objeetion to wear the badges on their arms,
but would not carry them' on. their heads : and he
also represented,, that the short fares were much too
marl, biing no greater than they were twenty
years ago.
