EDINBURGH, NOV. 17.

• Yesterday, the Right Hon. ROBERT BLAIR, having
gone through his trials as Lord Probationer, took his
seat as Lord President of the Court of Session, in the
first division of that Court. His Lordship, on taking
the chair, addressed the Court awl Practitioners in an
elegant speech, which was much admired.
The Teind Court in future is to sit only once a
fortnight, on Wednesday ; and unless very important
business occurs, none of the two Chambers of the
Court of Session are to !nett on the same day the
Teind Court sits.

Monday se'nnight Mr. Compson, who kept an ex-
tensive boarding-school, on Hanwell-heath, was knock-
ed down within a short distance of his residence, by
the leaders of a postchaise and four, when the wheels
passed over his body, by which he was so materially
injured as to cause his death in about 40 hours.
On the evening of Friday se'naight, a gentleman
was thrown, by a sudden jolt of the carriage, from
the top of one of the Greenock long coaches, on the
road between Glasgow and Paisley ; one of the wheels
went over his leg, and broke it in two places, and he
was otherwise shockingly bruised. In this dreadful
situation he Was left lying on the road, the darkness
of the 414. ht having preveuted the people of the coach ,
from Orceiving the accident ; but he was fortunately
discovered a short time after by a carter, who carried
him to Glasgow on his can, where, we are sorry to
say, he lies dangerously ill.

• Chichester market, on Wednesday, had a /very full supply both
of fat :led lean stock, which went off at prices below theme of last
wed,. Mutton 6.4 d. and 7d. rer lb.: great numbers of Sheep, fat
and lean, were driven home unsold. Beef fetched near upon ss.
per stone ; fat hogs, ss. 3d.; lean ditto, very reasonable. Wheat,
£23 to 2,0 10s. per load.
Lost withiel fair, yesterday se:might, was unusually large,
owing to the fineness of the weather; but there was not a great
many cattle sold.—St. Columb fair produced the greatest shew of
sheep ever remembered, but the sale was dull both for sheep and
bullocks.
Kelso Hiring Market on Frielay se'nnight, was numerously at-
tended. Servants wages were lower than last year. There was a
good deal of business done in the Corn Market.

Independent' of the four Prizes of 820,000, be.
sides 810,000, £5,000, 81,000, 8.500, &c. a boon
of One Thousand Tickets is set apart (from the
20,000 Tickets) for those who buy on of before the
13th of nexth Month. This advantageous offer has
met with universal approbation, and given rise to
more subscriptions than were ever known. The de-
mand for Tickets and Shares at HORNSBY and Co.'s
is the best proof of the excellency of the Scheme,
which may be had gratis, at No. 26, Cornhill, and
St. Margaret's-hill, Borough, who shared and sold
the last drawn 820,000, and the two first R30;000.

A new Edition of -Saw mou's Guide to Heath, was
last week published, and there is no doubt that al-
though there were 10,000 copies of the present edi-
tion struck off, they will, in a very little time, be as
difficult to be had as before. Near five months have
now elapsed since it has been in print, or a single
copy could be had for any money. Every individual,
male or female, are highly interested in this three
shilling Tract.
