552 Foreign News-Domestic Occurrences. patches transmitted by the respective Admirals were added to prove the truth of that allegation. On the 6th of November news was received at Constantinople that Fabvier, supported by Lord Cochrane, had made a landing on the Isle of Scio, and that the Pacha and the Turks had been obliged to retire into the fort. 'I he news of this expedition, in which the Turks suspected the Allies had taken part, arrived while the Divan was deliberating on the steps to be taken in consequence of the events of Navarino, and it greatly increased the irritation already felt. On the 9th of Nov. the Reis Effendi declared to the Dragomans of Englan-1, France, and Russia, that all intercourse between the Porte and the Representatives of the three Courts were suspended till the moment when it should be known "whether they (the Courts) desisted from all interference in the affairs of Greece-whether his Sublimity should receive an indemnity for the losses and damage caused by the destruction of his fleet-and whether he should receive satisfaction for the insult which had been offered him." On the 10th of Nov. the three ministers of the Allied powers each presented a note to the same effect, which stated, "that the Allies never could consent to the demand of indemnity made by the Porte, because the event at Navarino was produced by himself. The same reason likewise does away with the demand of satisfaction. Lastly, the abandonment of the intervention cannot be admitted; because such a step would be a violation of the Convention of the 6th July." The latest intelligence states, that the Porte has very much softened its tone, and at length appears disposed to enter upon nego ciations. Despatches from Sir Edw. Codrington, at [Dec. Malta, dated Nov. 8, announce, that the British squadron had arrived there from Na varino on the 3d Nov. and that the squadron was refitting with all possible expedition. The line of battle ships had not been fired at from the forts of Navarino, nor, indeed, had a shot been fired since the battle. There was a large allied force at Smyrna, and all apprehensions of danger to the persons or property of Europeans were over. AFRICA. ALGIERS. On the 3d of Nov. the Alge rine squadron, which had been for some time preparing to attack the blockading French force, put to sea. It consisted of i frigate of 50 guns, a corvette of 36, another corvette of 24, one of 20 guns, two threemasted schooners of 22 guns each, tw schooners of 16 guns each, two of 12 gum each, and a brig of 18 guns. Early the fu lowing morning the French squadron w seen at some distance in the offing, bearing down upon the enemy. Both squadrons manœuvred to get the weather-gage, which the superior skill of the French at last obtained and kept. At one o'clock P. M. the action commenced, and continued for two hours and a quarter courageously on both sides. The intention of the Algerines p peared to be to board rather than fight at distance, but their object was frustrated by the windward position of the French flee The French Admiral bore the brunt of the engagement, and for some time sustained the united attack of the Algerine Admiral's ship, two corvettes, and a schooner. At a quarter after three o'clock the action ceased, with out either party showing a disposition to renew it; and, without causing much in jury to either of the combatants: at foural the Algerine ships steered for the port a good order. DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES. IRELAND. A meeting was lately held in Dublin for the purpose of considering the advantages and practicability of constructing a Ship Canal from Kingston Harbour, Dublin, to Galway Bay. The meeting was numerously attended by nobility, land-owners, and merchants. The advocates for the measure maintained that the canal would afford a safe and easy passage for merchantmen from America and the West Indies; that it would engross all the trade from the West Indies and America to Liverpool and the notherp parts of England and Scotland; that it would bring steam navigation into the very centre of Ireland, and the produce of the island could be transmitted to England with dispatch and cheapness. A committee was appointed to make a report on the impor taut object of the meeting. Some time ago, the Rev. Mr. Maguire, polemical Roman Catholic priest, at a meeting at Roscommon, had the effrontery to assert, that a protestant Rector had waited upon him with a letter from an Irish Arch bishop, offering him 1,000/., and a living of 8001. per annum if he would turn Protes tant. The Irish Archbishops have jointly denied this; and one of them, the Archbishop of Tuam, who has been named as having made the offer, has applied for a criminal information against a Dublin paper, in which the above incredible charge was made. This same champion of Catholicism has had an action brought against him in the Court of Exchequer, Dublin, for the seduc Domestic tion of Ann Magarahan, the daughter of an innkeeper living at Drumker, co. Leitrim, at whose house Mr. Maguire was then residing. But owing to the very equivocal character of the lady, and the dubious testimony of the witnesses, a verdict was given for the defendant. SCOTLAND. EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN SCOTLAND. The number of those who compose the Episcopal communion in Scotland (which agrees in all respects with the Established Church of England) may amount to 60,000, and upwards. It is divided into 80 charges or 100 congregations, many of which are situated in remote parts of the Highlands, at a great distance from each other. Their Church Establishment consists of six Bishops and seventy-four inferior Clergy. All of these perform congregational duties. The Bishops, besides, make triennial visitations of their dioceses, and many of the Clergy have the charge of two, and several of three congregations. This meritorious body of men derive their subsistence solely from voluntary contributions, with the addition of the income of a very small landed estate, and the interest of a small sum of money, the produce also of private benevolence. The annual amount of these additions, increased by a few annual subscriptions, enable the trustees to allow to the Bishops 60l. a-year each, to the most necessitous of the Clergy 15l., to others 10., and to others 5. a-year each. The Clerical Income in the Highland districts of Ross and Argyle, and in the diocese of Moray, which are derived from the congregations and private donations, are these: Bishop Low of Ross and Argyle, 1504.—Mr. Fyvie at Inverness, 130l.-Mr. Wm. Paterson at Ord, 861.-Mr. Mackenzie of Dingwall, 554-Mr. Macmillan, 271.-Mr. Maclennan of Fort-William, 357.-Mr. J. Patterson of Glengarry, 451.-Mr. P. M'Coll of Appin, 551.-Bishop Jolly of Moray, 901.-Mr. Pressley his assistant, 45l.—Mr. Buchan of Elgin, 451.-Mr. Murdoch, 301. Mr. Walker of Huntly, 35l. The Clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Communion in Scotland have petitioned Parliament to make some additional provision for their support, and are now taking active measures to accomplish so desirable an object. may be in existence, with the exception of such as have been contracted between 1803 and 1817. The question came before the Pritchard, the Rector of a parish in Essex, court recently, in the case of the Rev. W. to receive whose tithes a person prayed, in order that an incumbrance by mortgage might be liquidated. The defence set up by the Rev. gentleman was, that the 13th of Eliz. cap. 20. (which enacted that all charges on benefices, with any profit arising out of the same, should be utterly void), was still in force. Notwithstanding this never good, and it is singular that the question of precise enactment, such charges on benefices were very common, and always deemed this validity, under the Act, was raised. Besides, the processus de bonis Ecclesiasticis was supposed to give an indirect sanction to them. The 43d Geo. III. cap. 84, sect. 10, repeated the Act of Elizabeth, but the 57th of the same, cap. 99, known as Lord Stowell's Act (which consolidated all the laws previously in force regarding ecclesiastical benefices), repealed the latter Act among the others, except as far as it related to spiritual persons holding farms, to leases of benefices, and to buying and selling the residences of clergymen. The King's Bench is, whether the 57th Geo. question then for the consideration of the III. by repealing, in toto, the 43d of the late King, did not set up the 13th of Eliz. as far as regarded incumbrances ou church livings. Nov. 30. The first stone was laid of a new chapel at Netherton, in the parish of Dudley, by the Rev. Dr. Luke Booker, vicar. See P. 539. Dec. 10. The first stone was laid at Hull of a Junction Dock, by which a communication will be formed between the Old and long square, 700 feet in length, and 400 in Humber Docks.

Dom. 1827, by John Cowham Parker, Esq. Chairman of the Dock Company, at Kingston-upon-Hull. The Junction Dock was made at the sole expense of the Corporation of the Dock Company." LONDON AND ITS VICINITY. Dec. 3. A meeting was held on Monday at the London Tavern, Alderman Venables in the Chair, to receive the report of a provisional Committee, appointed some time since, to look after the establishment of a Pension Society, to relieve the wants of distressed aged printers. Alderman Venables addressed the meeting. He pointed out the advantages which would flow from this Society, depicted the distressing labours of its objects in true colours, and concluded by expressing his confidence that the public generally would come forward to subscribe in its support. Mr. Bleaden, the Common Councilman, as Secretary to the provisional Committee, read their Report, which detailed the steps they had taken; the number of life subscribers was already 58, and of annual subscribers above 500. The amount of subscriptions received was 370l. 6s. while the expenses had hitherto been 35l. 10s.10d. On the motion of Alderman Crowder, seconded by Mr. Phillips, the Report was adopted, as were also the proposed regulations of the Society, and after the nomination of officers to conduct the business in future, the meeting separated. Nov. 21. A parcel, containing bank notes of the firm of Whitehead and Co.'s Warwick and Warwickshire Bank, to the amount of 20,000l. was stolen from the Warwick mail, at the time it was standing in front of Furnival's Inn, Holborn. It appears, that when the parcel was put in upon the coachseat by the porter, and the door kept a-jar, a thief opened the opposite door, and took the parcel. The thief was, however, inexperienced in his calling, and not knowing what to do with the notes, took them to a Jew in N-street, City-road, who gave him 2001. for them. The Jew directed a police officer to inform the owners of the parcel that it could be restored for the sum of 2,000l. and the officer effected the compromising negociation by obtaining 2,8001. for its restoration, 8001, of which sum he put into his own pocket. The premises of Messrs. Grimaldi and Johnson, watch and chronometer makers, 431, Strand, London, were lately entered, and time-pieces, chronometers, jewellery, &c. to the amount of between 6 and 7,000l. -nearly the whole stock-were swept away, ed a letter, offering the restoration of the property for 1500/. Early next morning, Mr. Grimaldi met a person, by appointment, over Waterloo Bridge, paid the required sum in specie, and was sent to a hackney coach, where the whole of the stolen goods were deposited in a box, the key of which was given to him. 66 Dec. 15. Some premises occupied by Mr. Southby, an artist in fire-works," situated in the neighbourhood of the New Chapel, Lambeth-walk, blew up with a tremendous explosion. In a short time the premises were entirely burnt down. During the fire, rockets, squibs, &c. flew in all di rections, to the great amusement of a crowd that assembled about the spot. Considerable alterations have recent been ordered by the Lords of the Treasury, to be made in the department of the Ca toms throughout the country. All the outports in the kingdom are divided into fre classes, and the officers of every rank are to be first appointed in the lowest class, from whence they are to be promoted according to their merit. The salaries of the officers are fixed for each class, those of the collecton being 1,000l. 7001. 500l. 400l. and 300 Liverpool, Bristol, and Hull, are considered ports of the first class; Newcastle is regard ed as standing at the head of the second class. was given out for repetition amidst univer sal plaudits. magnificent description, and the different representations excited universal admiration.
