by the gentlemen composing the club of this town, to decide

during the play. The Falmouth gentlemen west in first ;
the score at the conclusion of the Ant innings amounted to
48. In the best Innings of the Redeuth Club 37 were ob-
tained, leaving a majority oil in favour of the Falmouth
Club, who then commenced the second innings with much
spirit, and made up their score to 78, leaving for their op.
ponents only 42 to beat. Notwithstanding the number belft
small, the Falmouth gentlemen became the victors, and

ALEDOSIAY MERCURY, July 21.
At a meeting of the West LothLut Agricultural Society
and others, Sir William Baillic, Bart. President of the So.
cicty, in the chair, it was unanimously agreed. that o peti-
tion to the following effect should be presented to both
houses of parliament t—That your ne, tidoners have observed
with deep concern, that the official advisers of the crown
have it in contemplation to propose an altetation of the law
applicable to distilleries and breweries, in so far as to permit
the use of molasses in the production of whisky and beer,
and thereby put that colonial commodity in competition with
barley and other grain ; and being fully satisfied that such a
measure, if carried into a law, would be attended with the
most serious consequences to the landed and agricultural in-
terests of the county, they deem h their duty humbly, but at
the same time most earnestly. to intreat your hon. house to be
careful of inflicting a blow which must prove ruinous to many
—At present a very large propottion of the grain produced
in this country is consumed in distillation and brewing, and
the demand thereby created, has most undoubtedly been the
means of raising and keeping prices higher than they other-
wise would have been. Since the reduction of the Spirit
duties in Scotland iu 1823, and in England in 1825 in par-
ticular, the consumptitm of barley in this way has been great
beyond example, end prices have most materially improved;
so much so, that this grain alone, on a imprison of the
average prices for the five years previous to 1825 with the
five years following, will be found to have advanced no less
than six shillings per quarter. The footing upon which dia.
tillcries were then placed was understood to be permanent,
and upon the faith of this many of the farmers, who have
got thick leases melted, and others who have betaken them.
selves to the cultivation of the soil, have become bound to
pay increased rents. If molasses are to be allowed to sup-
plant barley and other grain, however, as most unquestion-
ably they will in a great measure do, if they are permitted
.to be used in distilleries and breweries, the present demand
foritrain must be materially injured.
THZ LATE Coacu ROIIIIEIII,--UpWardil of 4,0001. has
Mao recovered upon the information of Gilchrist. The
lashes were concealed under the pavement of a stable, and to
prevent the rats from destroying them, arsenic had been
scattered about the place. Brown had gone west, and re.
stored about 1,1001. which were concealed hard rammed into
a gun barrel. Of the whole sum stolen, 5,7121. there is now
recovered, destroyed. or accounted for, upwards of 5,4001.
leaving a deficiency of under 3001.
The shipping trade at Leith is brisk at present; during
last week extensive importations were made from various
foreign poets; eight vessels entered from Miramichi and
Quebec, with timber; three from Oporto, Cadiz, and Bor-
deaux with wine ; and a considerable number of ships with
grain, &c. which had been released from quarantine.
