7.-On Tuesday, Mary Hutcheson, aged 24 years, a native of Tyron, charged with fraud, was committed to Glasgow Jail. The folly on the one hand, and the duplicity on the other, which are developed in this case, are sufficiently singular. The prisoner acknowledges that about four years ago she began to tell fortunes by reading cups. She was in the habit of giving information to people who had lost property by theft or otherways. Her art only enabled her to give a description of the persons of the thieves, not being able to tell their names. A servant girl, it seems, began about a year ago to call on this woman for the purpose of getting her destinies unfolded. In reading the cups she told the simpleton that she was to receive some money, concealed in a corner of her master's room; and in order to show her where to look for it, she went to the house along with the girl, and laid down some money in the place where the promised sum was to be got. So complete was the ascendency which she had over this young woman, that in the course of three weeks she got from her sums to the amount of £27, assuring her that when the money promised was found it would be increased twenty fold. For the purpose of so increasing, it was pretended to be deposited, the ceremony of doing which was not a little imposing. It was laid down in presence of the girl; and Mary, after telling her to retire, read several passages of scripture, and prayed. She has also defrauded a man, who employed her fortune-telling powers, of several pounds. To a blind person she promised to give sight, received a considerable sum as the reward of her promise; and to a person affected with deafness she was to restore hearing. These are understood to be only a few of her tricks. She maintains that the servant's money will be returned when the time of its rising comes.

8.-On Tuesday, the Sheriff-substitute sitting in the Police-office, sentenced James Maclauchlan, Adam Macdonald, Alexander Macmillan, John Mackenzie, and Grace Macmillan, to be confined in Bridewell sixty days each, for various acts of theft. This is another gang of the juvenile depredators with which this town and neighbourhood has been so much infested. The oldest does not exceed thirteen, and the girl is not ten years of age, but all of them have been repeatedly in Bridewell for theft.

Maclauchlan, who seems to be the leader of this set of young thieves, is perfectly callous and regardless. Their practice was to go about the environs of the city to see where clothes were left in areas and greens, and then come back in the evenings and carry them off. The things stolen were generally carried to the house of one Johnston, in the Calton, where they were left, but neither sold nor pawned, a trifling sum being given for each article, and sometimes a little bread and cheese. Johnston and his wife are in custody for this offence.

The first anniversary of the Edinburgh Society of Highlanders, was celebrated on Thursday last, in the British Hotel, Prince's Street. The meeting was numerous and respectable. The members and visitants appeared in the full Highland dress of their respective clans. The evening passed away in the utmost harmony. The laudable purposes that drew the members together as a society, glowed in every bosom, and broke forth in every sentiment ;-these purposes are to keep alive the language, dress, and customs of their ancestors, their funds being principally devoted to benevolent objects. Many loyal and patriotic toasts were given, and songs sung, in the Gaelic language, appropriate to the occasion; and the company broke up at a late hour, singularly gratified with such an opportunity of recalling feelings connected with "Tir na'm beaun, na'w gleaun, agus, na'n gaisga ch."

On Tuesday forenoon, a meeting of the members of the Trades House, Glasgow, in consequence of a requisition to the Convener, took the question of Burgh Reform into consideration. After considerable discussion, it was agreed to postpone the farther consideration of the question till the Lord Advocate should bring forward his bill relating to this subject in Parliament. At this meeting the Convener exhibited an abstract which he had taken from the Chamberlain's books of the city's funds, which appeared to be in a very flourishing and prosperous condition.

Commission of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. Thursday the Commission of the General Assembly, convoked by a circular letter from several members, met here in the Assembly Aisle. After the meeting had been opened in the usual form, by the Rev. Dr Gibb, moderator, and the authority by which it was called had been read, Dr David Ritchie shortly stated the urgent necessity of having the proposed legislative measure of the increase of churches extended to Scotland.

Dr Nicol then read a printed report of the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the subject, and from this inferred, that it was only necessary to draw up a strong case of the very destitute state of many parts of Scotland of religious instruction, to obtain the concurrence of Govern. ment for the requisite extension of the bill to this part of the island.
