On Thursday Mr Grant Duff gave his usual annual address at Elgin. The meeting took placi in the Corn Market Hall, and theie was a ccod att endance Bailie Hay in the chair. Mr Duff, on rising, was received with applause, and in the course of his speech said, Towards the end of the Session, there were several sharp passages of arms between Lord Palmerston and Mr Cobden, and on the 1st of August, in a very thin hou-e, they engaged in a regular single eomb.it. There tbey stood unreconciled and irreconcileable, the representations of two widely different epochs, and of two widely different types of English life. The one, trained in the elegant but superficial culture which was usual amongst the young men of his position in life at the beginning of this century, full of pluck, full of intelligence, but disinclined alike by the character of his mind and by the habits of official life from indulging in political speculation, or pursuing long trains of thought yet yielding to no man in application, in the quickness of his judgment, in knowledge of a stateman's business, and in the power of enlisting the support of what has been so truly called that floating mass which in all countries, and in all times, has always decided all The other derived from nature finer powers of mind, but many pissed away before he could employ his great abilities in a field wide for them, and he has never had the official training which is perhaps absolutely necessary to turn even the ablest poli cian into a statesman.

There he stood, an admirable representation of the best section of the class to which he belongs, full of large and philanthropic hopes, and full of confidence in his power to realize them, yet wanting in pliability of mind, and deficient in that early and systematic culture which prevents a man becoming the slave of one idea. Of the debate I will say little. The opinion of the country was sufficiently clearly pronounced upon it. The champion of the necessary and the possible came off victorious, but his opponent said much that was true, and if the Admiralty does not mend its ways, he may some time earlier in a Session make a more dangerous onslaught.

The business of the association commenced at Cambridge earnest on Thursday morning. The various sections assembled at 11 o'clock. Several interesting rea.nd there is abundant promise of a meeting of no ordinary scientific value aDd interest lhe various sections on mathematical and physical science, chemical science, geology, zoology, and botany, physiology, geography, ethnology, economic science and statistics evidence of exports, and mechanical science met indifferent places, and had interesting and instructive papers read to them, and discussions on the topics which they illustrated. In the section for geography and ethnology the following related to DR LIVINGSTONE.

The Rev. WiUiam Monk, If. read a letter from Dr Livingstone, dated January 2, 1862, in which that enterprising traveller referred to the University's mission to Central Africa, and gave an account of the disorganised state of the native tribes on the Shire. He also stated that for the first time in Africa he had been compelled to fight with the natives. The same letter contained a most graphic description of the great I-ake which the writer had just explored.

It concluded by the expression of a hope that the great work of civilisation and evangelisation would be stimulated in that interesting country. The rev. gentleman also read the following letter from the Rev. H. C.

Scudamore, M.A., of St St John's College, one of the University missionaries to Eastern Africa Magonier, April 5. 1861. My dear Monk, Many thanks for writing to me. It is a great pleasure to receive letters in this out-of-the-way country, especially when they take one back to Cambridge and old College days. I only knew a few weeks before leaving England that I should join the mission, and, having great difficulty in getting away from my engagement, had barely time to wish mv relations good bye.

Had I more time I should certainly have visited my friends at Cambridge, and among them made a poiut of seeing you I think I remember having some talk with you when we were undergraduates about Livingstone and missions to Africa. You will have learnt long before you receive this the distressing account we have just sent home. It has been a sad blow to us, and must be to all connected with the mission. I mean, of course, the death of our bishop, for whom every one of us, even the black people, our new friends, had the greatest affection and respect. His death, followed soon after by Burrup's, who had joined us only a few weeks before, cast a gloom over us which has not and will not soon disappear.

You ask me to tell you about our reception in the country. On our first coming everything seemed to prosper better than we could have expected or even hoped for. The doctor's (Livingstone) great kindness, his taking us up the Shire safely and comfortably in the Pioneer, and then introducing us to the Mitnanja chiefs, smoothed the wav completely. The bishop, being enabled to tike charge of the rescued slaves, to feed and protect them seemd to be the earnest of the good work the mission had intended. Again, the fighting with the A jawa, though not perhaps so congenial to us, was attended with much good results as made us think we could not have entered the country at a happier time.

We are now in some difficulty about getting our stores, but as greater difficulties than these have vanished, so we hope will this. You mention that your letter to the doctor contains information that will interest me. I hope I may see it, but he is so engaged with his very difficult task of getting the Nyassa on to the lake that we, none of us, know when we may see him. Dr Kirk and Captain Wilson, of the Gorgon, came up to Soohe, about 30 miles from here, a few weeks since. They had brought Miss Mackenzie and MrsJ Burrup to Chihisas.

Some of us went down to see them it was a most melancholy meetiug, as you can well irmigine Captain Wilson, who has been most kind to them and to us, took them away again. Miss Mackenzie, on her way up the Shire, was very nearly dying at the mouth of the Kno, where the bishop died, though they knew nothing of his death till they reached Chibisa's Island. I wi5 just give you a short description of our present station. It is nearly in the centre of a large plain, in which is Lake Shirwah, a day's walk from us. The Milanje Zjmba and Chiradzuro rise-from the edge of this plain, appearing nearly equidistant from each other; from us they are 40, 25, and seven miles away.

We have visited these the Milanje are by far the greatest mountains in this part of the country, Zomha next, and then Chiradzuro. The Milanje are 7,900 or 8,030 feet high. Our huts, or, as we call them, compared with the natives', dwelling houses, are built on a peninsula about 200 yards long and 100 broad, formed by a river with well-wooded banks called Onamadzi i.e., 'he always has water" a fact not to be taken for granted in an African river. The immense plain is so perfectly flat and the grass so tall, 10 or 12 feet high during part of the year, that we have no very fine views. However, there is a small hill ahout ten minutes' walk from us, and from this we can see many miles around, and besides the mountains already mentioned, on the edge of our southern horizou, a number of funny-looking, comical hills, which overlook what the doctor has named the second terrace from the Shire.

Chibisas, Mav 7. Before I have finished describing Magoniero we have been obliged to leave it Want of stores and the un-healthiness of the place made it advisable, but the immediate cause whb tho Ajawtt, who burnt some -rillngee within four or five miles of us, and were on the point of surrounding us on all sides, and cutting off our path to the river. This is a fiue position for a mission station. We are already beginning to build, and hope here to be free from several of the inconveniences at Magoniero. We have not seen the doctor yet, nor shall we probably for some time.

This is about to be despatched by a canoe to Portuguese settlements I must now con-elude thanking you for your letter. Believe me, yours very sincerely, H. C. Scudamore." The President next called ou the Chancellor of the University of Dublin, who spoke in forcible terms both with respect to the necessities of Africa and the duty incumbent on British Christians to supply them- The Rev. George Williams, Fellow of Kind's College, gave some details of the present condition and prospects of the mission- The "discussion was concluded by Mr Whiteside, M.P., who strongly urged the claims of the mission as a means of helping forward the abolition of slavery and the evangelization and civilization of Africa.

NEW YORK UNDER MARTIAL LAW. New York is becoming tired of the martial law which is now enforced within her limits. The state of siene'' has now been proclaimed, indeed, in the commercial capital of the United States, but everybody feels that tbe whole city tests under military lule. A Provost Marshal has been sent from Washington by the War Department, and that official exercises the most despotic powers. He arrests whom he pleases, he consigns persons to prison without procest of law, and he in point of fact defies the authority of the civil officers provided by the constitution for the reinforcement of the laws.

All this was borne patiently for a time, but that time has passed, and the New York journals are beginning to ask, Why have we a Provost Marshal?" The other larger cities of the North are left in the bands of their civil rulers, while New York is placed under the thumb of a military policeman. The fact is not very flattering to the capital of the Empire State," and the indignation of the New York journals is natural enough. They point with pride to the efforts made by their city in aid of the war, and demand that a state of things which brands New York as a dangerous and disloyal place should be at once altered. The peculiar kind of vigour which has for some time characterised the action of the War Department seems to become moie hateful to the Northern public every day. The Americans are beginning to feel again some of that reverence for personal liberty which so eminently distinguished tbtm before tbe outbreak of this war The Governors of Pennsylvania and Ohio had issued a call to the Governors of all the Union States to meet at Altona, Pennsylvania, on the 24th ult.

No one knows the object of this meeting, but those who have watched the current of affairs lately will hardly anticipate from it an accession of strength to tbe Federal Government. Leeds Inauguration of the Stephenson Monument. A general holiday was kept in Newcastle on Thurs day, on occasion of the inauguration of the Stephenson Monument. The preparations for the ceremony were so well conducted as to reflect credit on all conceined, and nothing occurred to mar the general effect. Heavt Excise Penalties.

At Largs Justice of Peace Court, on Tuesday, W. Crawford, an Innkeeper in Lai gs, was eharged with letting for hire a dogcart, without license, and fined in a penalty of L.25, modified from L.100. The Justices signed a petition recommending a further modification. William Paton, a carter in Largs, was charged with having a concealed still on his premises, and with concealing spirits on which no duty had been paid. The penalties attached to the charge amounted to L.3000.

One of the counts, concluding for L.1200, was abandoned but, after proof, a penalty of L.180O was imposed, modified to L.450, with a further recommendation to the to the Board in London to modify as they thought proper. A Safe on Safe Terms." The attention of our readers who have books, deeds, cash, or other valuables to protect from the ravages of fire, or the violence of burglars, is requested to an advertisement from the Vulcan Safe Company, Birmingham, which appears in our paper to-day, headed Extraordinary bargains in Fire-proof Safes." The peculiar advantages are, that a quantity of Fireproof Safes and Chests made to order last year at the Vulcan Safe Works, for the branch offices of a local Insurance Company, which, having lately become merged in a London office, had no further use for them they have again come into the possession of the manufacturers, who, treating them as second-hand articles, offer them at half their real value but a very liberal and perhaps the most important feature in the advertise ment is. tiiat the doubt which must be naturally felt by persons at a distance, in ordering a second-hand article unseen, is entirely removed, as the Company request intending purchasers not to remit the money until receipt and approval of the Safe, when, if aot satisfactory, it may be returned.

Accident. An accident that might have been attended with serious consequences occurred at the power loom manufactoiy of Messrs J. J. Smart. The boiler of their engine, which was found last week to be insufficient was replaced by a portable one but on Thursday the latter burst, by which two men were slightly scalded.

The works are at piesent stopped in consequence, and will not be again resumed for a short time. In addition to the loss to the working clss. the stoppage will also cause great loss and inconvenience to the Messrs Smart, who, we understand, are at present under a large contract, to be finished within a limited period.

MONTROSE.

Mesmerism. A few evenings back, a Mr Morgan, mesmerist and phrenologist, has been giving a series of entertaining and experimental lectures on Mesmerism, in the Thistle Hall. Every evening several of the audience have been under his mesmeric power, and have been made to exhibit various workings of the brain in a very marvellous way. Lecture. On Wednesday evening, Mrs C.

L. Balfour delivered the last of her three lectures in the Guild Hall here. The place was filled to overflowing. The subject was, -'Woman as the Helpmate of Man." For upwards of an hour and a half, without note or memorandum, this talented and gifted lady kept a crowded audience under the spell of her eloquence. Dr Laurence, in a few remarks, moved a vote of thanks to Mrs Balfour, which was cordially agreed to.

Accident. The other day, while a few boys were amusing themselves in Ferry Street, one of them, named Armit, accidentally set fire to some gunpowder which he had bought, and which burned him rather seveiely in the face. Additional Tug-Boat. A handy and apparently superior tug-boat, of 30-horse power, has just been purchased at North Shiel by Mr Watt, of the Commercial Company, on behalf of a company of local shipowne s. The boat is to be stationed at this port, and will commence to ply on the river immediately on permission being granted by the Harbour Trustees.

Captain James Reid, late of the Tabusintac, has been appointed to the command of the boat, which was brought hither in the beginning of the weeli. It is conveniently fitted up for passengers, and the company intend, we believe, to occasional pleasure-trips to places on the coast. Old Church Vacancy. A meeting of the Old Church congregation was held on Wednesday evening, in connection with the appointment of a minister to the first charge of the parish.

Provost Savege (who presided) stated that the meeting had been called to consider a recommendation from the Committee, to the effect that congregation should memorialise the Home Secretaiy to appoint the Rev. Geoge Stewart Burns, presently minister of Houston, to the vacant charge. The meeting unanimously approved of the Committee's recommendation and it is expected the vacancy will now soon be supplied by Mr Burn's appointment. DUNFERMLINE. Rifle Competition.

The members of the Rifle corps here who competed with the Lochgelly corps last week for a field glass, contested for the sam prize on Saturday last am ngst themselves. The firing was very good. Distance 500 yards, and 5 Corporal James Bonnar and Andrew Martin being 11 each, fired two shots to decide the tie, when Bonnar took 3 and Martin 2. Bjnnar consequently won the prize. A Small Wanderer.

One day last week, a child of three years old, belonging to a family residing at the head of the New Row, named Strang, suddenly disappeared, about ten o'clock foreuoon, from its accustomed playground around the door and along the street, and search being made for it at the next meal-hour, it was nowhere to be found. Every place and house about the doors, and far beyond the doois, was se.nched, hut in vain, the infant wanderer was nowhere to be found. The afternojn wore on, and still it did not make its appearauce. The anxious parents began to worry themselves with the torturing idea that some vagrant body had picked up their child and carried it off, never to gladden their eyesight again. But, now a days, gangrel bodies cannot so easily carry off children as they once did.

The eyes of the police are now everywhere, prying into every suspicious corner, and a woman's mantle is now no protection to a dead theft much less to a living ami noisy one. The child hud a grandmother in Hawkiesfauld, and knew that it had, and also had an idea where Hawkiesfauld lay, having been there more than once. This started a new idea, and the father set out in search. The child had not been at its grandmother's, but a strange child had been seen toddling through the village and taking the road to the north. Away the parent set in quest, and, when it was beginning to grow dark, found tha wanderer at Bower's Ha'.

It still held a bit of paper which it had been playing with before it left home. After a solitary ramble of three miles, and nine hours' time, it was carried home, nothing daunted by the idea of having done anything wrong. Volunteer Rifle Corps. On Tuesday night, the yearly general meeting of the Rifle Corps was held in the Music Hall Captain-Commandant Mathewson occupied the chair. The business brought before the meeting was the treasuier's report, the election of a new committee, and the election of a lieutenant for the 2d Company in the room of the late Mr Dobie.

The chairman prefaced the business by a statement of the number of men in the 2d Company, the state of drill, and various other matters connected wiih the condition and discipline of the two Companies. From these it appears that there are 1 28 men in the whole body, and all of these, with the exception of ten men, have received more or less instruction in military matters. The treasuier's report was then read. The outlay for last year in uniforms, ammunition, and sundries, was 208 13s 3d. The expense for the butt was L.43.

Still, with what was in the bank, and what was in the Treasurer's hands, there was a balance of L.468 5s 7d. The Rev. Mr M'Kensie then gave a lecture on the movement, the principal point of which was the old stone cross of Dunfermline and the material associations connected with it after which the following gentlemen were appointed as the committee First Company Captain W. Mathewson, Ens'gn Beve-ridge. Privates Couper, Stewart, and Pye Secon Company Lieutenant Robertson, Ensign M'Far-lane, Private W.

Brown, Sergeant Grieve, and Cor poral Bonnar. Ensign Beveridge was then elected Lieutenant for the Second Company, and Private Peter Martin elected Ensign to fill his place. Accidents in menageries are becoming more and more frequent in Germany. M. Menz, an animal tamer, was a few days ago in the cage of a panther at Bremen engaged in breaking it in, when the animal, becoming frightened by some noise on the outside sprang on one of the keepers, who was standing near, and mortally wounded him.

It was with the greatest difficulty that the body of the man could be released from the claws of the infuriated animal. (Bv EttcTEic Telegraph. AMERICA.

Svmpathy in London with Garibaldi. The Lord Mayoi has consented to the use of the Guild Hall foj a public meeting to express sympathy with Garibaldi. A memorial, asking his lordship to do so, was ngiied by upwards of 1.000 citizens, and presented to him on Thursday.

Th i announcement that Garibaldi is to amnestied will, however, probably obviate the necesiiy of such a meeting. The London press criiieise Garibaldi's addiess, and the generl ral opiuion is that his ideas are more theoretica-ihuu piactical. Hotel Swindling A man, who appears to have made a trade of roSina hotels for some weeks past, Was taken before the Bradford magistrates on Wednesday. His robberi had not put much money in his pocket, as the articles he to horn the hotels and lodging-houses where he had been staying were generally very trifling things. In his defence it was represented that he was an honest man till five weeks ago.

since which time he had been the victim of a set of sharpers, who had ued him for their own purposes. Literary Intelligence.

The London police have seized a gang of swindlers who have been carrying on an extensive system of fraud. The prisoners were in the habit of announcing in the country papers that they weie prepared to advance money on very advantageous terms, and the bait seems to have been swallowed by a large number of persons in all parts of the United Kingdom.

The Glasgow Mcrder- Jessie Macpherson formerly a Resident in Montrose. The greatest interest has been manifested here, as elsewhere, in the late trial of Mrs and siuce it took place nothing else has been talked about. Crowds of people have bet-n attracted to see a plan of the house in which the murder took place and a portrait of the condemned woman, which have been exhibiting in the shop window of Mr Law, bookseller, during the week and even yesterday we observed not a few about the window. Besides all thar, a story, vouched to be correct, is current, that Jessie Macpherson, the murdered woman, was formerly a resident at the Loch side here. The story goes, that Jessie and several members of her kindred came to reside at the Lochside about eighteen years ago.

They were handloom weavers to trade, and Jessie followed the same occupation for some time. A considerable time after the family took up their abode at the Luch side, Jessie gave birth to an illegitimate child; and as the father, a Montrose man, did not marry her, she and her whole family shortly afterwards left for Glasgow. Another story is afloat, that the Flemings belong to some of the parishes surrounding Forfar that the old man stayed in Forfar foi a number of years, and at that time his trade was a handloom weaver. 1 INTOLERANCE IN SWITZERLAND. The Grand Council of Argau, in Switzerland, having voted almost unanimously (there being only one disseniient) that the Jews should, to some extent, be admitted to political right6, the opponents of the measure immediately issued a petition demanding a revocation of the Grand Council.

According to the terms of the constitution, n6 soon as this revocation is demanded by 6000 citiz.ns an appeal to the people becomes a matter of course. The petition having received moie than 9000 signatures, the people were convoked in their comitia, and decided bjr 26.000 to 9000 that the members of the Grand Council should have their mandate revoked. It is," 6ays the Independence a 6trange thing, and one deeply to be deplored, that such an example of intolerance, and such a flagrant infraction of the principle of religious liberty, and ol civil and political 'equdity, should be given in a country essentially democratic, which Europe has been wont to legard as the most impregnable citadel of THE ROMAN QUESTION. The Independence' say6 The Emperor Napoleon, who is the supreme arbiter of the situation in Italy, has indicated what his views are as to the final solution, but he leaves the world in utter darkness as to the lime fixed in his mind for the accomplishment of his designs. We are assured that M.

Fould, during his recent visit to Biarritz, made an attempt to sound the Sovereign on this point, but without the least success. The Emperor confined his answer to the simple statement that all the noise which was made about the Roman question would not advance by a single hour the decision which he had re6olvel on. In political circles where this statement finds credit, the probable conclusion is drawn that the Emperor is desirous of allowing the question to arrive at such a point that any solution will be accepted as a relief but the conviction is strong that the evacuation of Rome is in principle decided on. M. de Lavalette has arrived in Paris, and letters from Rome state that he will not return as ambassador to the Holy See.

It is 6aid by others that he is charged with a mission from the Pope to the Emperor. (From the 'Times" own Correspondent.) That the Emperor of the French was for one moment serious in his late proposal will be believed by no man in his 63nses. The experiment could be made easily enough. Napoleon has only to express his firm will, to pronounce his final fiat. Neither of the contending parties has the means to withstaud it.

The Italians may be made to renounce Rome for a capital; nay, there are men who think it would be for their real good to settle on Florence, on Perugia, on any spot fresher aud healthier than that great charnel house of the Cas-iars and the Pontiffs for a seat ol Government. The Pope may be compelled to relinquish all hopes of his lost provinces; he might not resign himself without protest, but protests break no men's bones, and his Lite subjects might afford to laugh at his impotent ill-will. The Court of Rome might cry itself hoane with its stolid nun possumus, but it would end as it has iuvariably done, by making a virtue of necessity, aud acquiescing in the in-evitab e. The way is, therefore, to my mind, perfectly open before the French Emperor; he may, to-morrow, inaugurate that independent Roman State, which is to be based on a finance subsidized by the Catholic States, and upon the municipal self-government of its various communities. Such an arrangement, I say, may come into operation at a minute notice.

The Pope and Italy are too weak to raise any availing objection. Europe is too heartily sick of the whole matter not to be fain to leave it in those hands which have so bunglingly conducted it thus t.ir. Indeed there is not much to be done for the scheme to be carried into immediate execution. The boundaries of the new State are already traced the French need only withdraw, and the Pope will find himself tete-a-tete with his Roman subjects. That the Turin Government, in spite of the oft-repeated vote of their Parliament, will think of trespassing on forbidden ground, it would be idle to fear.

A mere word of the Emperor must need have as much weight with them as his whole embattled host. Napoleon tells them so aud they will venture no farther. The whole question will be between the Pope and the Romans. Only who is to keep the Romans to their duty Of all the parties concerned the iiomans alone are not consulted. The Pope, King Victor Emmanuel, the Emperor, Italy, France, and the Catholic world have a voice in the mafer.

The Romans have none. Will they thus allow themselves to be disposed of without resistance Put the Pope tete-a-Ute with the Romans, and before you are 10 days older you will have 1849 played over again; Pius IX. running away in bis fotman's livery to come back at the tail of foreign bayonets. Birth in a Rallway Train.

Theie are people in Scotland who make the Lord's Day a ghastly idol who make their children sit in church for three or four hours at a stretch, listening to two tremendously long sermons preached at the same in which Christianity is reduced to a system of the driest metaphysics and who, on returning home, devote the entire evening to questioning the poor little things upon the Shorter That Catechism is a very admirable one, but one may easily have too much of even the best things; and the peculiar system which has been described generally results in making the children hate both the C'atichism and the Lord's Day as long as they live. And I have heard of a man who said that, when he looked at a certain green expanse, on which on Sunday afternoon you might see people quietly and decorously walking, before returning home from church, he was always reminded of Sodom and Gomorrah, and expected to see fire from heaven come down to destroy the wicked race.

You have already heard, too, of the Highland elder who spoke of the awful sight which may be beheld ou a Sunday at Edinburgh. There, he said, you might see people walking along the street, smiling as if the were perfectly happy But there are multitudes of men and women in Scotland who could tell you that their Sundays in childhood and manhood, have been the happiest days of their life restful, thoughtful, cheerful das of elevation above the little cares and worries of week-days, when care and worry come; kept sacred, as far as may be, from the intrusion of these, and spent as in a purer air.
