      AMERICA . Xtteepool , Satoxdat MeBxnra . —Bj tbe arrival of the Britannia Royal Mail stewaer , Captain Hewitt , at this port , this morning , ^ e bare received Ifow . York papers to the 15 th , and Boston to the 16 th September , making the voyage in -eleven days and a half from Halifax , and twelve days and a half from Boston . The steamer Caledonia , which left here on the 4 th September , arrived it Halifax in twelve dajs . The Britannia has brought abont thirtr nassenzers . The following are extracts

      brought by thi 3 conveyance : — Ushed States . —In politics nothing new has occurred , except the meeting of a « reat political State Convention , held in the interior , which has taken np Mr . Van Buren as the candidate of the democracy , and has instructed its delegates to support him in the National Convention . "This cuts off the hope of every other candidate bo far as this State is concerned . In other respects the political horixon presents the Bime aspect as < when we last described it .

      The yellow fever alarm has passed -away , and so further apprehensions are entertained . - " We have liad a -wholesome change in the temperature of the weather , which most have an effect to stop the creation of the miasma . Business is reviving to an extent "beyond our hopes . Both in New York , Boston , and Philadelphia , it is admitted there is much doing , and upon a basis ¦ which is believed to be sound . The cotton crop « f the South is defective . The ¦ wheat , crop of the 3 ? or £ h is most abradant . There had been a disastrous accident on the Susquehannah Railway , occasioned by the breaking of the front axletoee of the first passenger car , by wbj ch

      thai and the two following cars were thrown off the Tails . A considerable number of persons were seriously injured . Torgeries to a very large amount have been committed at New York , by whieh the banks had beea defrauded by lalse cheques , of j £ 29 , G 00 , by a person named Henry Saunders , a yonth of eighteen years only . He made an unsuccessful attempt to board the Great Western as she left New York on her last Tojage , but missed her , and vent to Albany and ^ Boston . At the latter place he was taken after having taken his passage to New Oileans ; subsequently , about jC 2 S , 0 G 0 of the money was recovered in the hands of Mr . and Mrs . Raggi , in whose possession he had confided it .

      -EXTBLAOBDrKASY BtTRGLAKY ASD ROBBERt . —The extensive jewellery store of Messrs . E , and S . S Rockwell , of No . S , Asfcor-house , h » 8 been burglsxiously entered , and -valuable watches , silver , and jewellery , estimated at abont twenty-five thousand dollars , was stolen therefrom . All the elegant gold watches in the large case near the door were taken , aad all the valuable diamonds , one of which was estimated at 1 , 200 dollars . Gold chains , . diamond lings , aad breast pins were removed , and a-large quantity of silver , tea , and table spoons , were taken amoEg other valuables . It is strange that with such ft valuable stock of jewellery , no person was kept to sleep in the store ; but is Btill more strange , that such a robbery should take place in one of our most public thorougfares , and theTogues escape detection . They will quickly melt the available gold and silver lor immediate purposes , and retain the preeions stone 3 and other valuables until a chance to

      send them for disposal to some European city . The Messrs . Rockwell offer a reward of 500 dollars for the recovery of the property , which if extended to as many thousands , will probably be the means of restoring a large portion and arresting the thieves . Ga 5 ada .- ^ Thb Whkat Cbop asd JWxatbteb . — "We are happy to hear from all parts of the country around , the most favourable accounts of the wheat crop . Indeed , we have ample proofs of its being abundant in quantity and excellent in quality . "We see daily arrivals in town of new wheat , and some lots have appeared in excellent dry condition , weighin as high as sixty-four pounds per bushel .. The millers report the yield of flour as being large and good . In the memory « f the oldest inhabitant there has sot been known so long protracted a time of dry harvesting weather . Merchantable wheat in our market brings from 4 s . 3 d . to 63 . fid . per bushel . — Bytotcn Gasette .

      Serious RioiniG has occurred on the Brantford canal s in Canada . The , ringleaders have been arrested . In Miramiehi , toe , at Chatham , New Brunswick , there has been rioting , which is not yet suppressed , but only smothered by the exertions of the troops under Captain Grant . One or two lives are said , by the St . Jobn ' 3 papers , to have been lost . It is right to add that that these riots are of a local , rather than a political" character . The British schooner -A-rwwia . 'h has been wrecked sear Chaleui Baj , and sevBn lives lost . The steamer Adventure , ninety-eight tons , arrived at Quebec from Toronto a few days since , being tbe first steamer that has evei Tan down all tho rapids , aad made the whole voyage . The pardon of several Canadians , implicated in the insurrections of 1837—38 , has created quite a sensation .

      Sib Chabiss METCAiTB , 4 he Governor-General of Canada , has been visiting the Eastern t ownships . He appears to have been warmly received by the population . Easxebs I-isbk&tes . —A letter from Captain Stephens , the commander of one of our provincial revenue cruisers , published in the last Acadian Re corder , states thai the seal fishery out of aiarsaree , Cheticasap , and Sydney , has been very successful doting the present season ; a fleet of fourteen sail from these perls having returned from the ice with about 20 , 000 seals . ' The mackerel fishery in the spring proved remarkably unsuccessful , not more than 500 barrels having lieen taken where "np-wards of 23 , 000 barrels , -were obtained last year . The summer herring , it is stated , have teen pretty plenty about Tsxbay and the coast ont-Trarda . Prom fiie cod fishery only a limited suppfy may be expected .

      The Jj&brader fishfiripji promise TfelL The salmon fishery , in particular , has been very successful—up "Wszds o ! 1 , 100 tierces having been already taken . The number of vessels that nave passed through the Chambly Canal , this season , up to the present date , amount to about one hundred , and of these only two isve proceeded direct to Kew York without unloading at St .. John ' s . Sa"ared timber and salt form the bulk fat their cargoes . Texas . —The steamer Sarah Barnes arrived at Jfew Orleans from Galreston on the 26 th , with Galyeston dates to the 22 d ult .

      The Commissioners on the part of Mexico and Texas , respectively , are to meet at Loredo sorre time during this month , and upon a satisfactory adjustment of the points there to be discussed being accomplished and ratified by the negotiating parties , Commissioners are to be appointed to settle all existing difficulties between the two countries , under the friendly mediation of Grezt Britain , France , and the United States . Colonels Williams and Hockley are appointed Commissioners on the part of Texas . As a drawback to this , however , Santa Anna has stated to Elliott that " he will not entertain any

      proposition having for its object the separation of Texas from Mexico /* This we should suppose "Would be proposition No . 1 , on the part of Texas . Captain Elliott has made a formal requisition in th 9 Eaaie of M ? Government for the restoration of f 5 , © & 9 , {) 00 acres of land , designated on the old maps as Cameron ' s and Beale ' s grant—a grant from the Mexican Government to these parties . Tie piea of Texas for resisting the claim is , that it was made withthe Mexican Government before the revolution , and ^ thzi that government is alone responsible for its infringeuKnt . Commander Moore has been " dishonourably dismissed" from the Texan Navy . Texas is in a very disorganized state . Tbe President , Houston , is stated to be very unpopular .

According to the packet , ihe | insurgents had a great number of men taken yri-. . soners , and lost npwards of 1 ^ 00 horses , all their artillery , baggage , &c Gecsce— We stated in our last that a revolotiea had occurred in Greece ; press of Chanist aad -other intelligence prevented us giving the details . We now day them before our readers ; premising that they are somewhat abbrevated ; rendered necessary by 6 he many demands on « &r space . - All the leading features of this triumiphant popular ntowtteat w'Al bo perused with interest . The revolution was begun on the night of the 14 th , and effected before noon next day . We take the narrative of tbe Greek Oi *

      gjwer" The hostile attitude assumed by the Government against those who aoogbt to enlighten it , the extraordinary dispositions adopted within the last few days with a view to assail the Hberty and the very lives of tbe citizens ia military tribunal had been established most devoted to the national interests , should necessa rily-tend to hasten the aaarfeatatton of the contemplated movement Last night st two o ' clock a . m ., a few musket shots fired in the air announced the assembling of tbe people in the different quarters of Athens . Boon afterwards , the inhabitants , accompanied by the entire garrison , marched towards the square of die Palace , ¦ crying , ' The Constitution for ever ! ' On reaching the place , the entire garrison , tbe artillery , cavalry , and infantry , irew up under the -windows of the King , in frent of the Palace ; and tbe people having stationed

      themselves in the rear , all in one -voice demanded a eonstitutlen . The King appeared at a low window , and assured the people that he would take into eonsideration their demand and that of the army , after consulting with Ms ministers , the Council of Slate , and the representatives of the Foreign Powers . But the Commander , M . CaJergi , having stepped forward , made known to his Majesty that the Ministry was no longer recognised ; and that the Council of State was already deliberating on the best course to be adopted under existing circumstances . Shortly afterwards , a deputation from the Council xi State presented an address to the King , comprising , among other things , the following requisitions , which it described as measures emanating from the wants and wishes distinctly expressed by the Greek

      nation" * Your Majesty will consider it expedient to appoint a new Ministry without delay . The Council of State recommend to the approbation of your Majesty , as persona competent to form it , becanse of their enjoying public esteem and confidence , Messrs . Andre Metaxa , for the Presidency of the Council of Ministers , with the Itepartment of Foreign Affairs ; Andrt Londos , for the Ministry of "War ; Canaxis , for the Navy Department ; Rhigas Palamidis , for the Interior ; Mansolas , for the Finance ; XeonMelas , for Justice ; and Michel Schimas , for Public Instruction and Ecclesiastical Affairs .

      " Tour Ms jfesty will be pleased , at the same time , to sign an ordinance , which will impose on the new Ministry , as its first duty , the convocation within the delay of a month of the National Assembly ; ¦ which will deliberate upon the definite Constitution that is to be established in concert with the Royal authority , as the sesis under which tha throne and tbe cation shall hereafter be placed . The extraordinary circnastances ef the country rendering the convocation of the National Assembly an urgent necessity , and not admitting of a new law of election being previously framed , your Majesty -will permit your Ministry to convoke that Assembly , agreeably to the spirit and provisions of the last law of election in vigour before 1833 with the sole difference that the electoral colleges shall elect their presidents by a majority of votes .

      " ' The new Ministry , invested with the full powers necessary to conduct the Government in accordance with the gravity of the circumstances which led to its formation , shall render an account of its acts to the National Assembly . ' " Whilst his Majesty was reading the propositions of tbe Council of State , the representatives « f the Foreign Powers presented themselves at the Palace , and were told by the Commander that nobody could be admitted at that moment , the King being in conference with the deputation of the Council of State . The latter came out two houra afterwards , with the consent of the King . The new Ministry then repaired to the Palace , where they held a long consultation with his Majesty ; who

      shortly appeared on the balcony , surrounded by his Ministers and other personages , and was received with acclamation by the people . The cry of " Long live the Constitutional King !* ' resounded , together trith that of Tfee Constitution for ever . '' The new Ministers entered immediately on the discharge of their functions The military revolution was directed , on the part of the regular anny , by the ColoDel of Cavalry , Pemetri Calergi , and on that of the irregular army by Colonel Macryany . At three o ' clock in the afternoon , the garrison , after defiling btfore the Palace , re-entered their quarters , preceded by their bands , amidst the acclamations or the people . An hour afterwards , the city , in which order had net been an instant disturbed , resumed its customary aspect ''

      Next day the King issued a decree convoking a National Assembly within thirty days . The Couaeil of State issued a decree , thanking the people and the army , exhorting them to continued order , and dictating to the army an oath of " fidelity to the country and to the constitutional throne , " and of attachment to the constitution to be Battled by the Assembly . The Council also decreed that the 15 th September should in future be a national festival . Similar movements took place at Cbaleis and Nauplia .

      Letters from Athens , of the 17 th ult , say that all foreigners who held offices under Government weTe to be dismissed , with an exception in favour of the veteran Philhellenes . It is Baid that the King yielded with bad grace , when he found resistance on his part would be unavailing . It was eleven o'clock a » m . before his obstinacy was subdued . The military bandB were then playing the Marseillaise " and the " Parisienne "; which gave him cause to suppose that affairs might proceed to unpleasant extremeties . Oa the 16 th King Otho took his customary airing ; and was s&luted as he passed along the streets , with cries from the people and soldiers of " Long live the Constitutional King I "

      Intelligence from Athens , of the 17 th instant , adds nothing of news to the account of the recent revolution , but gives some interesting traits of" its most extraordinery moderation . Tx ' mos , a minister , who had ordered the infliction of torture on several occasions , was hidden for a time in the King ' s palace he wa 3 forced out 1 but hiB only punishment was to be banished , and to he guarded by the troops of the new regime from the fury of the mob . Ylahopnlo , the old Minister of "War , indiscreetly presented himself , and ordered the troops to withdraw : Calergi merely said , " Take the Bavarian away , and Bhnt him up P and he was put under a guard in his own honse .

      Herat . —Letters from Envan announce the important faet of the death of the King of Herat , Kamram Schah , whose throne has been usurped by his Yizier , Tar Mahomed Khan , who has expelled the sons of the late King . The usurper has been acknowledged as King of Herat by the Schah of Persia to whom he sent his submission . Extraobdinaht . —The HeTaldo of Madrid of tie 21 st says—** Yesterday a woman died at St . Andre at the age of thirty-three , after having given birth to five boys , who all died shortly afterwards . '

      Bussias Ttran > t . —The Commerce gives the following to show the rigour with which the police of Poland is conducted : — " A foreign merchant arrived at the frontier with post-hoi ses . His passport stated that ie was to travel with his own . From thiB circumstance alone be was taken into custody , and sent aa a prisoner to Warsaw , and it was not without the greatest difficulty , and through the mediation of many influential friends , that he obtained his liberty . " Belgian Bailway . —The Belgian and Bhemish Bail way will be opened on tbe ?* itb iuet Bome—The two bandits who , about three years ago , attached and robbed Don Miguel while "he was out shooting , were executed at Kome on the 12 ch icst ., having been condemned for various robberies and murders .

      [ If all "robbera and " murderers" were treated in the same way , Don Miguel would have been " executed" long since . 3 MntDEBS is Pabis . —Amongst the malefactors who have bees lately arrested on a charge of street robberies in Paris , attended with violence , is a man named Teppaz , who at first gave important information ; but it was at the same time evident that he concealed a grea ? part of the truth . On Friday , after having been permitted to receive a visit from his mother , he demanded to be brought before the chief of the police of safety , to whom he said"I know that I am about to commit myself beyond a possibility of escape ; but I promised my mother to tell all , and 1 shall keep my word . I have committed many robberies , and assisted at many atrocious deeds ; but there is one act the recollection of which haunts me night and day .

      " In 1836 1 was enrolled amongst a band of assassins by a man oamed PoDderache . When 1 showed any hesitation to commit violence , my companions kicked and beat me to give me courage , as they said .

Henry Salmon confessed his crime . His sole defence may be summed up in these words : — I wished to possess hia papers , aud I lost my heftd . " Having been found guilty , he was condemned to death . He heard his sentence without betraying tbe slightest emotion .

      Belgium , —Horrible Mtjrder . —An inhabitant of Lommel , in Belgium , suspecting that his wife had misconducted herself with an officer of the customs , a few evenings ago , reproached her with her infidelity . A violent quarrel ensued , and the woman became bo exasperated that she went to the room of the custom-house officer , who lived in the same house , and , taking a pair of loaded pistole from his table , returned with them , and discharged one of them at her husband . Having wounded ,

      but not killed him , she deliberately fired the other into his breast , and completed her object . The reports brought several persons to the spot , and she was at once secured and committed to prison . The next morning , she attempted to destroy herself with the sharp edge of the cover of a pot , in which some coffee had been brought her . She made a severe and ragged wound in the throat , but did not accomplish her purpose . The custom-house officer was not at home at the time of the murder , but has nevertheless been arrested , and committed to prison .

      Colocne . —The Way to cure Duelling . —Lieut . Pelzer , who lately , in consequence of a dispute at a ball , fought a duel with M . Hain , a bookseller , and shot him , was sentenced by a court-martial to be beheaded . The King has commuted this sentence to fifteen years' imprisonment in a fortress . Lieutenant Pelzsr has accordingly been conveyed to-day to the lortress of Ehrenbreitstein , as well as the two seconds , who are condemned to ten year- ' imprisonment . The other two persons implicated in the duel are said to be sentenced to five and two years ' imprisonment . No doubt is entertained that the imprisonment of the two seconds at least will be considerably abr idged . Hamburgh , Sept . 28 . —The brandy distillery of M . Schot , on the Green-dike , was destroyed by firo last night .

      France—La Iteforme states that five of the persons arrested as participators in the the Communist plot of the Rue Pastourelle bad been set as liberty . Other warrants however had been issued by the Attorney-General , but the charges against the accused were not of a very serious nature . M . Henri Dourille , a literary man , lately arrested as an accomplice of theirs , does not , it appears , belong to that portion of the Radical party . He always strongly condemned the principles of tho Communists . Jaras-e , a political convict , attempted to commit suicide by swallowing varnish used by carpenters . Boudin , who was condemned in tho affair of the Republicdn Monitor , had become insane .

      [ Such is the treatment given by the infamous son of the infamous Egalite , to the men who blindly raised him to a throne , on the strength of the pledge that that throne should be " surrounded with Republican institutions . " One patriot swallowing poison and another driven mad ! Such aro the "legitimate" fruits of middle-class treachery . How long—How loDg ! 3 Part ? . —Mdrdbr and Suicidb . —M .

Germain-en-Laye , on Thursday .: Serious Accident at Marseilles . —A Russian

      vessel having appeared a few days ago in Bight at Marseilles , a number of persons assembled on a drawbridge communicating with the mole , and commanding a view of the sea . The weight of such a crowd , amounting at least to 150 persona , proved too much for thf timber work , and the bridge g&ve way , bearing with it the living massinto the water , and on the quay below . Strange to say , however , this terrible event , which would seem likely to cause a great loss of life , passed over with only five fractures and about a dczen contusions .

      Indications are visible that the " far North" is about to prove as troublesome to M the powers that be" as Wales and Ireland have been for some time past . The Non-IntrusionistB have left the " kirk ;" and if there their hostility to the existing order of things had stopped , government would have cared very little for the change ; inasmuoh as there are not wanting plenty of " waiters on Providence " ready to clutch at the " loaves and fishes , " abandoned by Chalmers , Candlish , and Co . But ( as in the " sister kingdom ") the violent orations of the chiefs of the Non-Intrusion movement , have not been without their effect . When Macgill Crichton , the noted Don Quixote of the movement , talked about " unfurling the broad blue banner of the Covenant ? ' " unsheathing the claymore ; " and

      taking themselves to the " hill-sides there to emulate their martyred sires who died for the faith ;" people—at any rate the simple working people of the far north—thought all this was in earnest ; and that the worthy knight-errant meant what he said . Accordingly we find the flocks of the eeceders disposed to take a step beyond that of their shepherds : not only have they left the kirk themselves , but they seem determined to allow no one else to enter it . Thus in different parts of the North whore the heritors have attempted to " settle" new ministers in the vacated churches , they hare been met with open physical resistance . And no little damage has already been suffered by lords and ladies , sheriffs and procurator-fiscals , ministers and elders , in their attempt to " settle" ministers in parishes , to which ministers the people were opposed . Here is the latest " pronunciamento" of the Highlands : — l

      * Nox-iuthtjsion Riot at Rhwlis , near Crosiatbt . —Thursday being the day appointed for the settlement of the Rev . Lewis Rose , presentee to the parish of Resolis , vacant by the secession of the ReV . D . Sage , the rev . members of Presbytery , Colonel Hugh Bailie , M . P ., of Redcastle , and Lord-Lieutenant of the county , Sheriff Jardine , and other gentlemen , accompanied by ladies , set out from the residence of Sir Hugh Frazer , G . C , B-i at Braelangwell , in vehicles ; but on arriving within a short distance of the church , they found that the church , which occupies a rising ground , was surrounded by a numerous party of males aud females , for tho most part under mature age , and that a few minutes previously , on perceiving the approach of Mr . H , T .

      Cameron , procurator fiscal of the district , and a sheriff's officer , they bad at once forbade their approach to the church , by greeting them with a volley of stones , although Mr . Cameron is a celebrated non-intrusionigt himself . The lord lieutenant , Colonel H . Baillie , M . P ., and the sheriff , and Sir H . Fraser , being . present , it was hoped that respect tceuld be paid to them by the riotous party surroundipg the church ; accordingly , leaving the ladies in tho carriages , the members of Presbytery were accompanied towards the church by the above , among other gentlemen , and parties amounting to 100 . They were not , however , permitted to proceed , for on coming within reach , vollies of stones were hurled at them in such a manner as to oblige them

      to retreat . Matters having now assumed a most alarming appearance , an officer and three or four revenue-cuttermen , who were in the neighbourhood , were hastily brought up , armed merely with their cutlasses and pistols . One double-barrelled gun and a few pistols were all the arms that could be distributed in addition among the maintaiuers of the Jaw ; others being obliged to provide themselves with sticks . Having formed is as good order as possible , with the four cuttermen in front , the Presbytery and escort , preceded by the sheriff , again advanced towards the church , and were received , when within reach , by volleys of stones . The sheriff then read the Riot Act ; but , before concluding it , would have been brought to the ground by astoije . wbichhe only avoided by bobbing his head . One woman , more bold than the rest , advanced bo near that Mr . Cameron , the Procurator Fiscal , seized her ; she

      resisted ; however , so vigourously that it was not until they had both fallen and rolled upon the earth that she was secured , placed in a gig , and driven off to Cromarty gaol by a messenger at arms . Scarcely a person had not been struck by stones before the order w * b . given to fire upon the rioters . One man was apparently wounded in the leg , but , being on an elevation , the pistol , although loaded with ball , did sot do much apparent damage , and , n * t possessing further ammunition , the revenue ojffieer ordered the party to charge with their cutlasses and with slicks . At this jane tore , and while leading his men on , he was knocked down , and it is said had a rib fractured by a blow from a stone , and , unfortunately , about the same instant , he received a severe wound on the back of the neck from a missile , which covered him with blood . The force being clearly insufficient for effecting as entrance into the church , under gucU

      circumstances , and especially as it was asserted that there was a large patty lying in wait Jn the wood above the church , the Preshytery were deforced , and retired to effect the settlement in a private house . In the evening the sheriff ' s officer who had conveyed the female to prison voastinylaid , seriously maltreated , and his vehicle destroyed , A mob also surrounded the gaol at Cromarty the greater part of the night , and an attempt to rescue was anticipated by the authorities . Under these circumstances , and as simi lar outrages are expected at Knockbain , and other ulaces where ministers haie to be settled , it is said

      the Lord Lieutenant of the county has applied to Sir Nevil Dooglas , the Commander of the North British Forces , for troops , there being only a handful of men for garrison duty oF Fert George , " | A precious sight this ; the reverend members of the presbytery , skulkinfi behind "revenueofficers , " and trying to smuggle their contraband wares into the kirk under the legal protection of pistols" and " bludsjeons / ' And then the valorous Mr . Cameron with his triumphant capture of one woman , after she had well-rolled him in the mud ! Why , Lochiel is fairly put to shame by this valorous exploit of his namesake ! But " waitawee" !

      Since the above was written we have received the following account of more " routs , riots , and tumults" in the "far North" : — " Further Rioti ng in East Ross—the Minister of Loqie Deforced , &o . — -It is with no small mortification and pain we have to record a recital of additional disturbances in the eastern part of this county . The Rev . Mr . Mackenzie having been inducted by the ; presbytery at Dingwall , proceeded to preach at Logie on Sunday last ; but found a vast collection of people congregated at the church , in the utmost state of excitement . The entrance was barricaded , and a lawless , desperate mob hovered round it , resolved to prevent any person whatever from going into the church . Lady Ross , BaJnagtiwn , drove up to the church , aud was assailed with the most virulent Billingsgate . Not only so , but a woman actually struck at her ladyship with a

      stick ? , and she received a blow in the arm . Lady Ross then withdrew , amidst a shower of stones and blackguard abure . Shortly after this , Mr . Ross , of Cromarty , accompanied by his son , Mr . George Ross , arrived at the church . Access was denied them , and the most scandalous and impious language uttered . The church be > l was tolling , and the noise and clamour of the crowd was at that pitch bo as to threaten the most awful consequences . Mr . Ross repaired to Tain for Mr . Sheriff Cameron , who accompanied him to Logie . The Rev . Mr . Mackenzie had' by this time gone away ; but as there was still a large crowd at the church , the sheriff used the utmost exertion to restore quiet . We understand that some of tbe people said , if a site ware given to them for a ohuroh they would desist from further annoyance . The crowd shortly afterwards disappeared , without further violence .

      At Rossken , on Sunday , a mob collected , in the expectation that the Rev . Mr . Mackenzie was to preach , and of course prepared to obstruct his entrance . Having been made acquainted with the actual state of matters , Mr . Mackenzie did not appear ; and having collected , the mob could not bat perpetrate some mischief . The precentor of the parish church , Donald Fraser , having been recognized , was immediately assailed , and the mob would have torn him to pieces , had it not beea fox the interposition of Lieutenant Mao ' eod , who , having been on that part of the grounds near the church , checked the rabble that pursued Mr . Fraser , and in a manner rescued him from their violence .

      " On Tuesday morning , four officers arrived at Invergordon , from Tain , with warrants for apprehending two individuals ; connected with the riots . Oa this being known , the bell was put through the town , and an immense crowd immediately collected , whorescued the prisoners and ordered the officers to go home , under the penally of being stoned to death . The men took the hint , and their prisoners are still at large . During all Tuesday crowds surrounded the church of Rosakeen , the people ignorantly expecting that tbe Presbytery would appear that day , to go through again with the settlement of Mr . Mackenzie . "—Ross shire Advertiser .

      Se so ; tbe '' moral and religions * people of Scotland are now a " lawless and desperate mob , "—vomiting ' * Billingsgate , " " blackguard abuse , " " scandalous and impious language , " &o ., &o . Such are the libels heaped upon the noble peasantry of the Highlands , by miserable , lying , quill-drivers . The people are termed mob" and " rabble" too , because the patrons of this lickspittle thing , the Ross-shire Advertise } ' think proper to trample upon the coaecientious feelings of the people , and the latter thiak proper to shew resistance . Yerily the newspaper press is almost universally the very sink of iniquity . Mark too what the people want : " if a site were given them : for ; a church they would desist from further annoyance . " Now we have not much fellow-feeling with the " big guns" of the Non-Intrusion move * meat for wo can understand their motived , a » d therefore despise them . But we do sympathize with the people , —the conscientious' honest people ; and

      they having left the " kirk of their fathers" because they could no longer conscientiously worship therein ; what more reasonable than that at their own cost they should seek to build churches elsewhere ? But no , this must not be ; the " lords of the soil" say the Jand is ours , and we will " do what we like with our own , " and acting in this spirit they have refused to let or sell a solitary foot of ground on which the people might assemble for religious worship ! This is not all . The Scpttish aristocracy in general , and the Duke of Sutherland in particular , has been guilty of most gross tyranny towards the seceders . Is there any wonder then , that the people should exhibit the spirit they are now shewing 1 . We see by the Aberdeen Herald ^ that two hundred troops have been ordered to Ross shire ,: and 'cere on their march there the tatter end of last week ! If Donald ' s blood ia once fairly roused , there will be work for them .

      l From our oum Correspondent . J So ' , go ; " the truth itfwJfts tells the best ! " for oar Welsh newspapers , whichrwere so lately lost in admiration of the gallantry displayed by our rural police , bave at length made the discovery that the conduct of that force has neither been of such a laudable or praiseworthy nature as they bad led their readers to suppose . Even the Swansea Journal , that most contemptible of all puerile publications , has now , at tbe eleventh hour , communicated tbe astounding fact , that the gallant Captain Napier , his four full-privates , two sergeants , one inspector , aye aud even the magistrates who accompanied them , have a reasonable chance of figuring where better men h&ve stood before them , and obtaining the unenviable title of " the prisoners at the bar . " True the editor or reporter in noticing the circuinstance gives it as Mr . —— and Mr . ; but we all know

      who accompanied the police on their memorable excursion to Pontarddulais ; and this paltry effort at concealment is of a par with tha cringing cowardice which that newspaper has ever shewn , when the conduct of " the authorities" was under review . However , every maa who took part in the attack on the rioters , on the above occasion , is , according to these authorities , to be brought to trial on the charge of not having proceeded according to ' the statute in that case made and provided ; " and if so brought to trial , there is little doubt that a jury of Welshmen will do them ample justice .

      Agreeably to the promise contained ia my last , I attended a public meeting on Wednesday , which was announced as a meeting of the inhabitants of five parishes , with most unpronounceable names , and to be held on the Alt-Cyn-Adda mountain . The place of meeting was about seven miles from Carmarthen , and in the immediate vicinity of the burgh of Kidwelly . The hour was fixed for eleven 0 clock , but it was nearly twelve before tbe business commenced . On the ground there could not be Jess than a thousand persons , generally of tbe class of small farmers , with here and there

      a sprinkling of the " higher orders of society . " It was bitter cold upon the mountain top ; but notwithstanding both wind and rain , the great bulk of the meeting remained firm to the conclusion , although the proceedings occupied nearly six houra A whole brigade of reporters were present representing the four local papers , thelAHwioa Times , Chronicle , Herald ; and last , though not least , yonr humble servant of the Northern Star . Every accommodation was afforded to tbe scribes , but the labours of moat of ub , excepting one or two who could hieroglyphic the Welsh , terminated on the conclusion of Mr . Williams' address .

      On the motion of Mr . Williams , Philip Howell , EEq ., maycr pf Kid well , waa called to the chair . Hugh Williams rose and said—Gentlemen , amid the grievances -which we long bave Buffered , it is a source of some satisfaction to see such a respectable assembly gathered together , in order to make these Bufferings known , in the hope that some means of redress may be applied . We have already bad large meetings to lay our grievances at the foot of the Throne , tbe first of which wan held on Mynerid Selen , and the next on Myuydd Mawr . The first of these was a glorious display ; but the scenes of outrage whieh were daily occurring , threw a damp over the second . Yet still the people mustered in their thousands , determined to make their sufferings and their grievances known . I then had the honou'r of submitting certain resolutions to these meetings , which I am happy to say were

      adopted ; and subsequently we held a meeting at Trelearcb , In order that our common grievances might be generally submitted to oar common country . The meeting at Trelearch waf burked in consequence of imperfect notice having boen given , and a alight attendance only took place ; but although few were present , yet I have no hesitation in sa . Ving that they represented the feelings of the great body Of the community , as we were unanimous in our views , unanimous in our sentiments , being ( truly actuated omv by one mind , and having only one object in view , til * alleviation of the condition of oar fellow men . This agitation ha ? engaged tbe attention of all England ; reporters are present , both from London and the provinces , who will disseminate the sentiraenta which shall this day be delivered all over the countrynay , all over the civilised world . I gladly bear testimony to the service which has been done to w by tbat

      Untitled Article

      i mighty engine , the press ; and we have all reason to be grateful to the press far advocating the cause of the poor Welsh . It has been objected to these petitions to oar Qaeen that they are too long ; but a long list of grievances require a lengthy petition ; and my own opinion is , tbat ' they ate rather too short The- first subject which , it { notices is the tolls ; and I may take some credit to myself for being the first who called publio attention to the crying grievance of turnpike tolls . This is a little work which I issued from the press ao far back { as 1839 . You all know our national ¦ . -

      anthem , " God save the King , " which , to suit the altered circumstances of the country , was transmogri fied into " God save the Queen ; " but I then considered , as I do now , that the rhapsody and rant therein contained are a disgrace to a people who claim to be free ; and the sentiments of reveDge wbieb are there inculcated cannot consistently be entertained by any individual having the slightest claim to Christianity . In the little work I have just alluded to , I introduced a piece which I considered to be free from these objections , which I entitled " God save our native laud I " I shall now read the first etacz * in that poem : —

      " QodB&ye our native land 1 Vouchsafe thy fost'ring hand ! I Goftaave the land— ; From tyrants , tolls , bastiles , Barracks , and cat-nine-tails , Game laws , excise , and jails—1 God save the land !"

      In the notes appended to tbat etaczi , on the subjects of tolls and bastiles , I have said : — *• Tolls . —There ia no country where legal plunder , in the shape of tolls , prevails to so great an extent as in England and Wales . The several corporation , port , ferry , fair , market , and town tolls , are grinding and monopolizing enough ; but those collected at turnpikegates , or common-road-plunder-bare , are still more grievous . All toils impede traffic and intercourse ; and , beBide their impolicy , are a > clumsy and corrupt species of taxation . Highways should be under one general and responsible direction , possessed of talent and scientific skill .. The amount of our turnpike-road tolls might be made alone to defray the cost of a moderate government ; as it is , but a small portion is applied to the actual improvement of tbe roads , while the greater part disappears into a variety of dark channels—in peculations , jobs , ami patronage . "

      " Bastiles—This ia the only country in the world where the reduced ! middle classes , and all the producers , composing the great majority of tbe national voice , are reduced to worse than savage life ; where they bave no prospect in poverty and old age , but imprisonment in union workhouses , there to be treated as imposters or criminals ; separated from their wives and children , and subjected to the caprice of a host of officials , living ou the poor rates in ; ease and luxury : thus steeped in poverty to tho very lips , to have their ftest feelings outraged , and their most sacred engagements held in scorn . " Such , continued the speaker , were my views id 1839 , and such they continue unchanged to the present day ; and I am glad that ] the recent destruction of the turnpike-gates , though ; unlawful and indefensible acts , have yet succeeded in drawing the attention of tbe press of England to the subject ; and this grievance is rapidly disappearing . I contend , moreover , that the New £ oor Law is thoroughly inapplicable to the rural districts , as

      farmers cannot devote a sufficient length of time to the investigation of the complicated accounts of that board . For my own part , I have no hesitation in saying that I , a professional man , who , from habit and experience might be supposed to be better qualified to sift and examine accounts than you who devote your lives to agricultural pursuits ; j yet these fellows have become so expert in cloaking over tbe inaccuracy and incorrectness of their books ] notwithstanding tbat jugglery and insidious jobbing are as oonspicuoua aa the sun at noon day , yet were an angel from heaven to testify to the fact , the determined vagabonds would swear him out of it Tbe speaker next adverted to the various other points mooted in the memorial , which embraced the better regulation of county stock and legal fees , fixity of tenure , and assessment of rents ; each of which topics were dwolt upon at considerable length , and were listened to throughout with the greatest attention . !

      A number of other speakers followed , who addressed the meeting in the Welsh language , all of whom were enthusiastically cheered , and the speechifying continued until five o ' clock in tbe evening , when the meeting broke up and the Alt-cyo-Adda mountain was left alone in solitary grandeur . Humours are rife that South Wales is to be placed under martial law ; but if we get more " martial" than we are , Heaven only knows where our " martial" course will end . Every town and village is swarming with treops ; the very apple-wives have their stalls capsized , and their wares scattered along the street , by charging troops of cavalry : scarcely half au hour elapses , but bugles or trumpets are ringing fo .-tb their " cills "

      through oar streets ; and many of our magistrates have their mansions garrisoned by soldiers , in order to protect their worshipful persons from harm . We also hear many stories of " drillings" of Hebeccaitea among the hills ; but whether ] these stories are true or fklse , they nave raised no small ! alarm in the minds of many . Bat , be this as it may , Rebecca has been quieter this week than usual . Some , j who fancy that they possess correct means of information , tell us that the present lull is occasioned by the anxiety of certain parties to get their friends admitted to bail ; and if their present endeavours in tbat matter are unsuccessful , the calm will be but the prelude of a coming storm—a storm to which all that is past will be but as the gentlest whisperings of the infant breeze . i

      She has , however ; been having a " lark" or two with the myrmidons of the law ; one bailiff , who was in possession under a warrant for distress , having received some not very tender remonstrances from the whips of her daughters ; and another having obtained a lodgment in tbe farmer ' s horse-pond . Tbere is now no possibility of exacuting distress-warrants in the couutry ; ani the lawyers arejgetting laughed at whenever they attempt it . An attorney in Carmarthen bad been trying this method of ' / raising the wind ; " and he was accordingly waited upon by the party against whom he ' bad commenced proceedings . The faraier told him that he could ' nt pay '; and tbe attorney replied tbat be

      must distrain , as his injunctions were imperative . The farmer rejoined , that if such steps were adopted , he must apply to bis old mother for aid . " D n . you and your old mother , " said the lawyer ; " you mast remembar that you are in Carmarthen now ; and if you begin to talk about ! your old mother here , we shall clap you into the big house at tbe end of the bridge . '' " Well , well , " responds the farmer , "if you have a big house in town , my old mother has a big house in tbe country ; and if you ciap me up here , sWU'ctap you up there , the very first ] time you shew your nose among tke hills . " Sa saying ; he tore the summons to pieces , and coolly walked out of the office . He has heard no more of

      his law-suit . > , The spy-system is parried on to a great extent . Dae person , representing himself as a clergyman from Manchester , took lodgings at a res pec table inn . He had remained tbere for some days , and was very particular in his inquiries about 'Becca . But aa this ia the common topic of conversation , these enquiries excited no suspicion . Circumstances , however , arose which called particular attention [ to this gentleman ' s motives ; and an open letter having been accidentally left by hin » on tbe dressing table , afforded a clue to his real character , although id was written ia cypher ; but as Capt . Scott ' s name and Capt . Napier's were often repeated , the " peepers '' were St no very great losa to judge of hia clerical professian ; and the pump being conveniently located in the stable-yard , a plentiful dose of the " cold water cure" was administered to him on bis return , when be was advised : to shift his quarters .

      The trustees having . resolved tore erect vhe Minkagate , preparations were accordingly made * Bat 'Becca resolved to spare them the unnecessary trouble ; and accordingly assembled her forces on Saturday last . At her former visit she had spared the gate posts , they being ot iron , " and possibly too hard for her to digest ; but on that night sha shivered them , to pieces , and broke up all the materials which had been laid down to build the tollhouse , resolved that ! tolls should no longer be levied tbere . ! Some time ago the i gate at Pen-y-Girn was broken down and a farmer named Davles was apprehended on

      suspicion . Evidence ! waa heard against him and he was fully committed for trial . Bail to any amount was tendered and refused . ] They also refused to hear any testimony in the prisoner ' s behalf , stating that they bad heard plenty t » warrant a committal . The prisoner ' s council applied to the Queen's Bench for a rule nisi which waa granted . When they found the turn affairs were taking , they wrote to Mr . Maule , solicitor to the Treasury , enclosing him a copy of the depositions . He wrote back saying they had no ground for committing him at all . After hearing this , tbe parties who refused bail to the amount of i £ 3 009 , accepted the same in £ 400—Such is Welsh justice .

      Leeds Woollen Marketts , Tpesday , Oct . 3 . — The continuance of improved trade in other districts is operating most favourably here , the demand for manufactured goods increasing nearly every market day . For some months trade has been gradually , but slowly improving . Bradford Markets , Thursday , Oct . 5 , —Wool Yarns—There is a good supply of all kinds of Wool , which causes the consumers to be less disposed to extend their operations , and daring the week hardly an business has been

      average done . In prices we do not hearoi'auy alteration . Yarns—The buyers for both export and home consumption are still free to purchase , and lite prices still maintained . Piece—The demand for Goods continues very steady , and the fine weather cheers tho prospect of the home-trade houses ; this , with the favourable accounts from America , tends to confirm the opinion , that Goods nave ' seen their lowest poiat ; and tbat ere long the Manufacturer may expect to be better employed , and remunerated .

      York Corn Market , Saturday , Sept . 30 th . — We have a full sappiy of Wheat and a lair quantity ot Barley offering , but only a few Oats . Wheat supports the rates of last week ; fine Barley , which this season appears to be extremely scarce , is in gooa \ demand , and rather dearer , but coarse samples are difficult to quit ; Oats fully as dear ; Beans rather lower .
