Buchanan, Esq., Begatelle, has with most considerate philanthropy devised £lOOO to the Greenock Infirmary, £lOOO to the Female Benevolent Society, and £4OOO for the establishment in Greenock of a Night Refuge for the temporary lodgment and relief of deserving persons seeking employment or otherwise destitute in town.  On Wednesday last, a meeting of the Trustees of the Forrest Bequest took place in the Royal Hotel, Airdrie, when the three bursaries at their disposal were awarded to Mr James Buchanan, Dunngelloch, Mr David Shanks, Whiterigg, and Mr Archibald B. Telford, Airdrie. There were 20 applicants; about 12 of these were natives of the town and parish of New Alonkland.  The half-yearly Court for the granting of publicans' licenses was held on Tuesday in the Lesser City Hall. The number of applications lodged was 98, of which 94 were granted and 4 refused. There were continued 145 applications for new houses, and of these 87 were parties who had neglected to lodge their applications in time in April last. There were no cases of public interest brought before the Court. One of the cylinders of the Londonderry steamer Rose burst on Monday, on her passage from Londonderry to Morecambe, and she had to put into Belfast, where her cargo was transferred to the Laurel.—The s.s. Arbutus, from Ardrossan to Morecambe, was fallen in with on Saturday off the Mull of Galloway, with shaft broken, cargo loose, and leaking, by the steamer Shamrock, and towed to Ramsey, Isle of Man.  Capt. Tyler, one of her Majesty's Inspectors of Railways for Great Britain, was in Greenock on Monday, accompanied by Mr Ward, superintendent of the Caledonian Railway, and made an official inquiry into the late melancholy accident at PortGlasgow. His report will be submitted to the Board of Trade. Mr Dick, one of the sufferers, is still in an improving condition, although his strength is not such as to warrant the surgeons amphtating his arm. On Thursday, William Anderson, miner, residing at Linwood, met with an accident which occasioned his death, in the No. 2 Linwood Pit, which pit is situated on the farm of Green, parish of Kilbarchan. Anderson, it appears, was employed along with two others in sinking the pit, and was being drawn up along with one of his companions, when his shoulder came in contact with a mid partition, whereby he was jerked out of the machine, and fell to the bottom from a height of aboutseight fathoms. On Saturday afternoon the tine clipper ship Aboukir, 948 tons, Captain Peter Wilkie, left the Tail of the Bank for Auckland, New Zealand, having on board a large number of passengers, principally of the middle class, together with a full cargo of general merchandise suited for the New Zealand markets. The Aboukir is one of Messrs Potter, Wilson & Co.'s and William Orr & Co.'s line of Australian and New Zealand packets. This is only her second voyage. The Aboukir will belsucceeded,rin November, by the A ship Bruce, 1110 tons register. We understand that the Rev. Mr Douie has resigned the pastorate of the Free Church of Large, in consequence of a fame affecting his moral character. It is with feelings of pain we have to notice the supposed suicide of the rev. gentleman. It is stated that he left his residence, about three o'clock on Monday morning, apparently in his night drew, and has not returned since. His slippers, however, were found on the shore at daybreak, and it is pre• sinned that he sought death by drowning. CottvwrioN OF AN
