Mr. Isaac Jopling, of Gateshead, county of 
Durham, has presented to Anderson's Institu- 
tion, Edinburgh, several specimens of beauti- 
ful marble, from his own quarries, Sutherland-

Arts, novless than thirty-six specimens, all 
British, twenty-two of these’were Scotch, and 
14 of the most beautiful his own, for the dis- 
covery and working of which he secured the 
society's gold medal. We understand, Mr. 
Jopling has wrought the Scotch marble with 
great success, and in the greatest variety of 
colours, suitable for chimney pieces, and 
other ornamental furniture, equal to the Ita- 
lian, so that we are not now dependant on’a 
precarious foreign supply for an article with 
which our own mountains abound. 
In consequence of the present distressing 
State of tne country, many of the operative 
manufacturers have been deprived of employ- 
ment. The gentlemen of Kinross shire have, 
on tkis occasion, resolved to purchase on 
their own risk, cotton and linen yarn, and’ 
give it out to the weavers to be manufactured 
into cloth, under the direction of persons 
appointed for the purpose. Four thousand 
pounds have already been subscribed to carry 
the measure into effect, and the subscription 
is still going on. : : T4rui$ 
When lately repairing and new seating the 
church of Inverkeithing, the workmen in 
removing: some rubbish lying within the ad- 
joining steeple, discovered, and carefully dug 
out, the baptismal font stone which had been 
used in the Popish service, and been hid there 
at thetime of the reformation. It is of the 
figure of a hexagon, “is quite entire, and is a 
beautiful piece of workmanship, The height 
of it is two feet, and upon its pedestal is three 
feet and niné inches; its breadth is three feet 
and six inches, and the diameter of the basin 
is two feet broad and one foot deep. Upon 
each of the six sides there is the figure of aa 
angel, with expanded wings, and enclosed 
within the extended hands is a coat of arms, 
finely wrovght out, one of which is the 
royal arms of Scotland: the other five are 
not exactly known, and must have belonged 
to some of the ancient and noble families in 
the neighbourhoed, at the remote -period 
when the church was originally buile. 
There was lately found on Tyringham 
sands, near Dunbar, the dead body of a layge 
wolf. There were several wounds on its 
head, and a cut on its peck, and, from the 
appearance of the body, it had not been Jong 
dead. It was immediately skinned and stuft_ 
ed, and is in good preservation. The-colour: 
is light dusky yellow; black ridge down the 
back, and nearly white in the belly and breast. 
It has a sharp snout, erect ears, strong fore 
parts, and a bushy tail. The Jength from 
the snout to the tip. of the tail is six feet. 
The legs are shorter than usual'y described. 
It is conjectured the creature had been aboard 
some of the vessels lately wrecked on the 
coast. 
It is long since the dangers and difficulties 
attending the navigation :ound the Peninsula 
or Mull of Cantyre, in Argyllshire, suggested 
the importance of a canal, by which these 
perils might be avoided; andy in 1792, 4 syb-
