GRAM POUND.

MR. EDITOR-1 ant sorry to observe your Cor•
respondent TcalAx adhering so pertinaciously to
his inadvertent misrepresentation of the Right of
Voting at the above place. If he had consulted
afly orthe English Lawyers with whom he is
acquainted, he would have soon learnt, that the
Right of Voting at Grarnpound is not derived from
the ownership of Land or llon3es hot, that is is
of a mixed nature, corporate as far as relates
to the Mayor, Magistrates, and Recorder, and
personal as it applies to all the other Vuters„
Who are the occupiers or tenants of Houses
or tenements, paying the Rates- for tie relief
of the Poor, or, in !he langoage of the Law of

Paper is extending its circidation, I do not like
to see it the vehicle of error, misrepresentation,
or intolerancy, and therrfote I am ind.iced to

On Tnesday mmning, the 21st inst., the fish-
ing smack Tarter left R,lmsgate, and having put out
to sea, the crew shortly after shot their nets, and
shifted for a short lime; wind W.N.W. Perceiving
heavy gale cowl g 4.2 n with a rough sea, they
began hauling in their train of nets. Mess in
the act of hauling. they drifted down on a boat
a-head, and by a scud of the sea struck the point
of the boom info the fore-huddiogs of the boat ;
before the crew perceived th'e damage, the water
was over -her ballast ; the leak increasing fast, in
less than ten minutes she 'cent down ; the cre,,
*ix in number, providentially escaped in the punt.
,The cre,v in the smack, judging the boat and the
fliers hid gone down together, made the best 'of
their way, and reached Itamsgate die following
morning, with the lamentable tidings of.the loss
of the boat and six non. Providence, however,
had them in tow. The punt in which they
escaped, comparatively like a tub, being 8 feet
keel and 6 feet beam, having high sides prevented
the sea bearing in on them ; bet they not having
any sail or oars, drifted dhow -in this forlorn state
for two days wi;hoot prOvisions, when fortunately
they were picked up by the merchant brig Julian,
of London, Capt. SIMCOE. when nearly 50 miles

.their exhausted state required, and the brig made
way for Dover, where she' landed the six men on
Saturday morning. On the case bring made
known, a liberal subscription was set on foot, to
enable the pour fellows to teach their houses in a
comfortable manner.

&c. IN Scomaren.—We stated on
Saturday, that the High Court of Justiciary in
kdinburgh had, on Tuesday last, proceeded to
outlaw a man of the name of Spiels, who was cited
to appear before it, and answer the charge of
having sold blasphemous and seditious publica-
tions.• On the following day, the same Court
sat to enter upon the trial of OBoRGE KINLocn,
Esq. of Kittloch, mho stands charged with having
tittered a seditious speech at a Meeting of Dun-
dee Radicals in Novembrr last. But he having
failed to appear, sentence of fugitation was pro-
nounced agaiost hint ; he was declared an outlaw,
his moveable goods and gear were escheat to his
Majesty, and his bail bond forfeited.
During the present state of the country, it is
highly gratifying to see the spirit with which offers
of service are contlorting to he made to Govern-
tient. We understand that last week, about a hurt-
dred•effective men belonging to the parishes of
Qu e ens fe rr y and Dalinetty, made a loyal and band-
some offer to be trained and armed in such man-
lier as Government might require, for the main-
tenance of the internal peace of the country ; and
that this offer having been presented to that pa-
triotic and public-spirited Nobleman the Earl of
Jlopetoun, as Lord Lieutenant of Linlithgow-
shire, immediately on his return trout London, has
been transmitted by his Lordship to- Govern-
inent.—We congratulate the country on such
offers as this; for it is evident that whether they
shall be an accepted or not, they must tend ro
tranquillize the minds of the. peaceable and well
disposed part of the community, and at the same
trine warn the disaffected that any attempt to ex-
cite disorder will he instantly resisted, and must
prove destructive to those only who are mad
en►ugh to engage hi it.--(Edinturgh Courant,
.Dec. '23 ).
