NORTH BRITAIN. 
An accident of the most distressing kind 
occurred on the i0th of November, at Pais- 
ley. Jeing the fair-day at that place, a great 
number of the inhabitants, chiefly young 
people, were eager to indulge themse!ves with 
an excursion in the passage-boat, which had 
a few days before begun to ply on the Ardros- 
san canal, between Paisley and Johnstone. 
On its arrival about noon at thé quay, in the 
basin of Paisley, before the passengers from 
Johnstone could be landed, those who were 
waiting to replace them crowded on board, 
North Britain. 
[Feb. 1, 
The boat stands high out of the water, and 
being thus over-loaded above, she heeled to 
one side, and precipitated all on deck, to the 
number of about 100, into the basin, which is 
7 or 8 fathoms deep. Though every possi- 
ble assistance was immediately afforded, 84 
persona perished ; of these, 12 were under 10 
years of age; 56 from 10 to 20; and 17 above 
20. . Such of the passengers who remained 
below in the cabin sustained no injury, the 
boat righting as soon as the crowd fell off. 
The affliction in which the whole town was 
involved by this calamity, may be more 
easily conceiyed than described. A subscrip- 
tion was set on foot for the relief of the fa- 
milies and relations of the sufferers, 
From a recent calculation it appears that 
there are 940 clergymen on the establishment 
of the church of Scotland, the patronage of 
whose livings belong.in mapner following :—< 
To the crown, 269—to peers, and their el- 
dest sons, S15%4—to commoners, 355%. 
Total 940. Of the last description, private 
proprietors have 282—Royal boroughs, in- 
cluding Paisley, (a borough of Regality) 
53£—Colleges 9—patishes 11, Total 3555. 
The patronage of the Crown was much in- 
creased by forfeitures during the last century, 
particularly in 17155; that of peers and com- 
moners is more fluctuating, Commoners 
sometimes succeeding to patronages connected 
with extinct peerages, ‘and also being at 
other times created peers. = 
Married.| At Edinburgh, the Duke of 
Argyle, to Lady Paget, third daughter of the 
late Earl of Jersey; her marriage with Lord 
P, having been previously dissolved in the 
Scotch Courts. Her ladyship has ten chil- 
dren living by her divorced lord. 
Died.| At Edinburgh, Lord Cullen, one 
of the judges in the second division of the 
Court of Session, and one of the Lords of 
Justiciary. His lordship was eldest son of the 
celebrated Dr. William Cullen, He entered 
advocate in 1764, and was raised to the bench 
in November 1796, upon the death of Lora 
Alva. Lord Callen was a man of acknow- 
ledged talents, a sound lawyer, and was 
always conspicueus in professional argument 5 
he had a great taste for polite literature, and 
his papers in the Mirror and Lounger evince 
the elegance of his pen. 
At Glasgow, on the 4th instant, in the 63d 
year of his age, Mr. John Reckie, teacher 
of the Greek and Latin languages. Though 
his whole life had been laboriously devoted 
to the instruction of youth in the principles 
of Greek and Roman literature, he yet 
found means to acquire a critical acquaintance 
with the ancient classics, and a profound 
knowledge of the structure of their lan- 
guages, which has not been surpassed im any 
period; andis perhaps without parallel in 
the present. A happy sagacity, aided by 
a memory uncommonly retentive, enabling 
his unwearied zeal to surmount many ob- 
: stacles
