The consumption of butcher's meat in Paris during
the month of September last amounted to 5,963 oxe,

The Times thus adverts to a new scheme of
Non-Intrusionists to keep alive the flame of disco
a•
tent in Scotland, and afford an opportunity for making
attacks on the civil power :—" We have received d.
copy of a general circular which has just been
dressed to all the ministers supposed to adhere to a
cause of resistance in the northern kingdom, for 110
purpose of convoking a general meeting of the .4:
Non-Intrusionist clergy at Edinburgh in the cots"'
of next month. A note intimates that it is ennota
dered indispensable that all the brethren from
absent
country should lay their account with being ab.r.eb
from their pulpits on Sabbath, the 20th'—a hint ail!:
.t
may perhaps serve to convey a distant suggestion that
these worthies should lay their account with hefjbat
absent frem their pulpits altogether. To suppose e,
a mere convention (for the term convocation iS Pe,
culiarly inappropriate to the proposed assemblage)'
irregularly constituted, and summoned from one s
only, will have more weight than the real and general
representation of the country, is absurd. The refc.e,
existence of such a body is wholly new and stritette
to the Church of Scotland, to the law, -and °kind
