CLEARED OUTWARDS, JULY 26. The Anna Johanna, Baing, for Bremen ; Ceres, Blundell, Rostland; Ocean Queen, Carnie, Pugwash ; Bee, Allen, Quebec; Susannah Cumming, Portsmouth, A.S. ; Sally, Dantzic.  Grouse shooting commences on Monday next, which will cause the departure of many sportsmen from town to those parts of the country the most favourable to the sport. The birds are not so numerous as they were last summer, in consequence of the season being unfavourable to their breeding. We have long regarded the sitting member for the St. Andrew's burghs as a natural phenomenon, that is to say, a being exhibiting a curious divergence from the ordinary gauge of humanity. This opinion is certainly not shaken by by late occurrences. To call Mr. Johnston's conduct, with regard to the St. Andrew's constituency, extraordinary, would be a perfect abuse of terms—it is absolutely miraculous ; or, if explicable at all, the clue must be found in some yet unheard of conformation of the bumps.—Fife Herald. Considerable sensation has been occasioned in the neigltbourhood of Airdrie on account of a murder alleged to have been committed by several combined ironstone miners on one of their number, who, it is said, was working at lower wages than the combination allowed. It appears from the information obtained that the miners, in consequence of the advance on the price of iron, struck work about six weeks ago, for an advance of Is. a-day on their wages. When the strike commenced the Union had a fund of 3001., and were able for some time to afford the men who stood out 6s. a-week, but being disappointed of a considerable loan from the cottonspinners, they were unable to continue the weekly allowance, and a number of the men were reduced almost to a state of starvation. The unhappy man, whose death has been caused by violence, which he received on Wednesday in a brawl at or near Arbuckle mines, was in this condition. He had gone to work for 4s. a-day, after having suffered under the severest privations ; but whether he had been attacked by the men for not standing out longer, or whether the quarrel had arisen from other circumstances, has not been ascertained. The Sheriff of Hamilton has caused inquiry to be made, and two men have been apprehended for being the chief actors in the murder.-- Glasgow Chronicle. The clergy of the Established Church, resident in the town of Liverpool, have given it as their deliberate and solemn opinion, that it is sinful to compile selections from the Bible for common use. " The Bible, the whole Bible, and nothing but the Bible" must, according to these high authorities, be circulated. Now, as the Bible consists of the Old and New Testament, it follows, that he who circulates the one without the other is, in the opinion of the reverend the clergy of Liverpool, guilty of sin in the sight of God. The clergy of the Established Church, resident in Liverpool, in denouncing the making and the using of selections from the Scriptures as a sin in the sight of God, forget, what is notorious to every body else, that the beautiful Liturgy of their own church is mainly made up of selections from the Bible, including parts of the Apocrypha.—Liverpool Albion.
