SCHOLASTIC ESTABLISHMENT.

A sum of ,C70,000' has been lately bequeathed to
the Parish of DoUar, in Clackmannanshire, Scotland,
by a person of the name of MACNAII, whose history
and connection with the parish is very imperfectly
knotrn. The money is left at the sole disposal of the
Minister and Kirk Session of Dollar, a parish con-
taining only about 800 persons The present Minister
is theltev. ANDRZW MYLNZ, a gentleman long emi
neat as a teacher in Edinburgh, and the Author of
several rideable Works on Education. It is propos-
ed, we understand, to employ the money in forming
an Academy, which will be the most extensive in
Scotland, and perhaps in Britain.. Besides teachers
for English, Latin, Greek, and the modem languages,
there will be Professors of Botany, Practical Chemi-
stry, Mathematic, Natural History, Moral Philosophy,
and some other branches. The details of the plan are
not yet sufficiently matured for the public eye.

A dish of green peas was last week gathered in a
garden at Shepton-Mallet ; and there is at present
growing in the same garden, on a vine, a second
crop of grapes, now as large as peas.
Thursday, General GOUROAUD was landed from on
board the Castlereagh packet, at Cuxhaven, and im-
mediately set at liberty.

A private letter from Aix-la-Chapelle, says—ft Mr.
ROWCROFT, from London, is here, to represent to
his Majesty the Emperor of ResstA, the hard case
of the British merchants whose property was confis-
cated in 1810, in the Russian ports, in execution of
the severe decrees of the Continental System. He has
been at Petersburgh, reclaiming indemnity for this
spoliation, to which the Russian Government pro-
fessed to have been reluctantly compelled by its ex-
isting treaties with the author of that system. The
same compulsion, it would appear, does not exist to
restore the property thus confiscated, Which amounts
to upwards of a million ; and this active agent ofjhe
sufferers has been as yet unable to obtain any suit-
.
rectory answer to these detente."

actemott has been.playing successfully since his
return from America, at Manchester, Liverpool, and
Bberseld, and is now arrived in London. His return
from America, where be might have secured an in-
dependent fortune, is said to have been hastened by
the alarming illness of Mrs. Incranow. the climate
not being congenial also to his own health. •

GLOUCESTER, Nov. 21.—Monday last arrived in
this' city, MIERZA JADIAR and MICIAZA SAULIib
two of the distinguished personages who were sent
into this country three years since, by ARRAS MRERZA,
the reigning Prince of Persia. On Tuesday they
viewed our Cathedral and the County jail ; the sub-
lime and beautiful architecture of the holy pile, ap-
peared to impress them with reverence for its pious
use ;their visit to the jail was highly gratifying to
their attendants, these distinguished foreigner -mi-
nutely inspected every thing which was directed to
their notice; and on loping the building, said all
appeared to be conducted on the principle of hums,
any and cleanliness. They expressed a wish that
their own country possessed such, au excellent esta..
blishment. On Wednesday they visited the Cloth
'Manufactory of Messrs. Davis, BOARD, and Dkws
ion Thursday our. Shire-hall, and the Pin Manufacr
ltory of Messrs. Dila:iron) and Co. The making of
pins seemed to afford them high gratification, which
was principally caused by the employment of se
many poor Pr
people of all ages. They left us on
impressed .t.
day, fully with the importance of the maim
valuable Institutions we possess, and highly gratify*,
with the polite attentions they bad received.

' COURT OF CHANCERY, NOVEMBER 113.
The LORD CHANCELLOR did not sit this day, but
. . his Lordship is considerably recovered, though by
no means well enough to resume his Sittings. It is
impossible to describe the vast disappointment which
has taken place to Solicitors and clients from the un-
forturiate indisposition of his Lordship.
VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, NOVEMBER 23.
The SOLICITOR-GENZRAL said, he had on Satur-
, day been honoured by a message from the Lord '
Chancellor, in which his Lordship requested that his
Honour the Vice-Chancellor would hear the two-cases
of the Duke of Marlborough, and that of Tempest
I tr. Ord. On the merits of these cases he could say
nothing, as he was not engaged as Counsel in them ; '
1 but he felt it his duty to state this from what he had '
heard had taken place before the Lord Chancellor,
and from his Lordship's wish.
• The Vica•Cisatiera.soft said, he had no objection '
:. • to hear the motions, as they had only come earte
before the Lord Chancellor, and therefore no Max-
de followed to his hearing them. Yet he must say,
thatperhaps no individual in the universe had so much I
labour to undergo as the Lord Chandelier bad from '
his laborious situation, and how the present Lord
Chancellor could be diPected to do so much as even '
$ he did, was to him astonishing These was business. I
now pending before the Lord Chancellor, which no ,
person could dispose of; and there never was a Judge
pa ,England who had shown more unwearied =en-
. .s. . - and more indefatigable industry in the search of
truth than the present Lord Chancellor had done.—
Motion granted. • . •
The rest of the day was occupied in hearing Bank- .
1 . rupi Petitions, of no interest but to the parties.
