The issisiriaa Observer vt the 18th lust. states, on the
apthor:ty of accou' ts from St. Pttersburgh of the Bth
inst t'l.4 the answer of the Ott iman Poi t: to the Rut-
zian ultimatum, had been received in that capital with
greav saVistaction; and that Count WORONZOIT and M.
ffitaltetl,llAOßlS had been appointed to settle all minor
point. with the, Turkish CoMmissioners, who were to
meet on the 13th inst, at Ackermann, for t at purpose.
We have heard from the City, that two Gentlemen
deeply interested in Turkish and Egyptian affairs, one
of whom has been principally iiistriimental in provi-
sioling the Turkish fortresses, and the other of whom
pu.chased the London Engineer steam vessel last year
for the Paella of Egypt, have addressed in their own
names, and in those of a few of their friends, a Petition
to Mr. CANNING, requesting him, in pursuance of our
system of neutrality, to prevent Lord COCHRANE from
acting against the Turks, and to lay an embargo on
the resources destined for him. Surely, of all persons,
these should be the last to mabe a similar applicatidn ;
they are, no doubt, well calculated to teach the Right
Honottrable Gentleman the priticlples on which he
should act.—Times.
Accounts from the frontiers of Spain, of the 20th of
Juttc, state that the report which was circulated for se-
veral days past,of the withdrawing of the garrisons of
Pampeluna, St. Sebastian, and Juice, by the French,
appears now to be confirmed, and the garrison* of Ma-
Idrid will be reinforced by $OOO troops Irons Cadiz. It
appears also certain, that tbe,Duke L'hanriTADO and
CALOMARDE will retire from Office.
GREENOCK, JUNI 24.—Wednesday afternoon, a fire
was discovered at the west end of Crawfordsdyke, io a
yard at the rear of a granary possessed by Messrs.
Fairrie and Company. How the fire originated is not
-distinctly known, but when first observed, a conside-
rable portitin of a shed erected against the walls of the
granary had become ignited, and owing to the dryness
of the timber, from the great drought, was soon en-
veloped in flames. From the combustible quality of
every thing around, and the contiguity of the above
building, it also soon became involved in the confiafira-
don, and the flan/es spread so rapidly that, notwith-
standins the continued application of the engines, with
a plentiful supply of water, the fire gained such an as.
eendancy that in a short time the whole broke out into
one volume of flame, and in little more than an hour
the entire building was reduced to a heap of smoking
ruins. The extent of the loss is nett yet fully known,
but. a quantity of grain, then in the granary, has been
' consumed.

ST. STEPREWS, Mrakfc446llll6ET.

• The election of a Vicar. foilria . Parish soalaafaced
this morning in the Parish Church, in consequence of
the Court of Chancery having decided that the one'
which took place in MS was illegal, owing to the
votes of the parishioners having been taken by bell 't
instead of viva' vote. 0 r the former occasion the Rev.
Josiah Pratt, the candidate opposed to the Rev.eir..
Fayle, was elected by a majority of three votes ; but in
a short time after, the friends of the lanter.Gentlemaa
thinking the election illegal, and there being no mode
of ascertaining who were to be cons dered as parish-
ioners, the charter vesting in the parish the privi-
lege of selecting its own Paster having been burned
in the Fire of London, filed a bill in Chancery, praying .
that either Mr. Fayle be declared the Vicar, or Mr.
Pratt's election be recclered void; after many and fre-
quent arguments on the :object, the Chancellor was
pleased to comply with the latter part of the prayer,
and out of.it has arisen the present election.
The interests of the candidates appear nicely balanced,
and the contest has excited as roach liveliness of feeling
and trickery of manoeuvre, as those that are going on
with far different objects in other parts of the country.
The High Church of England party, and the aristo-.
cracy of the parish, are in favour of Mr. Fayle; while
the Dissenters, of every hue and shade, are straining all
their powers to promote the success of Mr. Pratt. The
good wishes of the tradesmen also are said. to be with
the latter Gentleman, but' they are unwilling to come.
'forward, fearing to disoblige their employers, and. are,
with their assistance, .instead of participating in the
bustle of the election, enjoying themselves in. the plea.
sures of a country excursion.
The Quakers were willing to support Mr. Prat, .but
an impediment presented itself. A short time since they
had a meeting on the subject, when it was determined
that though their good wishes were with the Reverend
Gentleman, if they voted, it would be involving them-
selves in an inconsistency, tor they would thusizrise
the right of a Protestant Clergyman to de his,
clerical dues. Beth the Candidates have their Com-
mittees, and bills explanatory of their respective merits
have been put in circulation.

The Church, in anticipation of the severity of the
contest, was prepared for the occasion ; barriers were
placed at the ends of the side aisles through which the
voters ate admitted, and at the chancel, hustings were
erected, which, in solidity, would have done boom to
a country election.
Before nine o'clock the candidates, accompanied by
their friends, made their appearance. The senior Church-
warden, Mr. Smith, was the presiding officer, and Mr.
Pollock attended as Counsel for Mr: Pratt, and Mr.
Nolan for. Mr. Fayle. After the Rev. Gentlemen were
'put in nomination, the polling proceeded rapidly. The
numbers up to two o'clock stood thus :
Rev. Mr. Pratt . . . 16$
Itev. Mr. Fay!. . . 146
