Peritonitide Since the 1st of August 1815, when the graduation of Medical Doctors, by a regulation of the Senatus, was restricted to once a-year, no fewer than eight hundred and seven gentlemen, from all parts of the globe, have obtained the diploma in Doctor of Medicine from our justlycelebrated University. 10.-Buildings on the Mound.-Meetings have been held in Edinburgh, during this week, by the different societies intending to be connected in the construction of a very handsome building, at the foot of Hanover Street, for the accommodation of the Royal Society, the Antiquarian Society, the Society for the management of the Fine Arts, and the Trustees for the improvement of the Manufactures of Scotland; and we are glad to say matters are now in a train which affords us just grounds for saying that the buildings may soon be expected to proceed.

The other buildings may also be expected to commence immediately. The double arcade, which it is proposed to construct, will prove a vast accommodation to the numerous individuals whose avocations require them to pass that way at all seasons of the year; and the novelty of the thing, we have no doubt, will create a great demand for the shops. 15.-BURGH OF INVERNESS.-The election of Magistrates and Councillors of the burgh, made at Michaelmas 1817, was reduced by the Court of Session on account of certain informalities in the mode of proceeding; and since that period a great deal of discussion has taken place before the Lords of the Privy Council, for the purpose of determining whether the Royal warrant for restoring the burgh should be directed to the late functionaries, or authorise a poll election.We understand that a Royal warrant has just been issued empowering the late Magistrates and Council to elect their successors in office. Suicide of the Marquis of Londonderry. -An extraordinary sensation was created throughout the country by the intelligence of the sudden death of the Marquis of Londonderry, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, which was speedily increased to a deeper feeling upon its be ing known that this distinguished noble. man had fallen by his own hands. This lamentable event took place on the morning of Monday the 12th instant, at his Lordship's seat at North Cray, county of Kent, where he had retired after the fatigues of the Parliamentary Session, and where it was understood he was making preparations to attend the Congress of Sovereigns, about to assemble at Vienna, at which assembly Lord Castlereagh was to represent the Majesty of Britain. It appears that the extraordinary fatigues of the last Session of Parliament had sensibly injured the Marquis, and from the evidence adduced at the coroner's inquest on the 13th, the Jury without hesitation brought in a verdict of insanity. The symptoms of this malady had been for some time apparent to his household, and his pistols, razors, &c. were carefully placed out of his reach; but a small pen-knife remained in his possession, unknown to any person, with which the fatal act was committed. Dr Bankhead deposed, that he attended the Marquis on Friday afternoon, at the desire of the Marchioness. His lordship was very ill; he complained of his head, and of a confused recollection. He was relieved by cupping, and he afterwards took some opening medicines. On Saturday afternoon, he was very incoherent, and continued so during the night. On Sunday, he was kept tranquil, and the doctor left him at half past twelve at night. About seven o'clock on Monday morning he was called to his lordship by Mrs Robinson. He waited till the Marchioness was ready to enter into her dressing-room, as she was in bed with the Marquis when Mrs R. first called him. His Lordship had in the mean time retired to his own dressing room, whither the doctor followed him. On hearing the doctor's step in the dressing-room, without turning his head, the Marquis exclaimed, "Bankhead, let me fall upon your arm -'tis all over!" The doctor caught him in his arms. The Marquis had then a knife in his right hand, very firmly clenched, and all over blood. In falling from the doctor's arms, the blood burst from his Lordship like a torrent. died in a minute. The witness, in reply to a question, said, from a thirty years knowledge of his Lordship, he was satisfied he was in a state of complete insanity at the time of committing the act; that there had been a decline in his general health for the last three weeks, but he was not aware of any mental delusion until within four days of his de cease.

It may not perhaps be known except to a few persons, that no sooner were the fine Walks formed round the Calton Hill, and at the bottom of the grand façade of Salisbury Crags, than the utmost pains were taken to introduce Seeds, Plants, and Shrubs, into every corner and crevice (out of the reach of the herd of idle lads, who are so eager to destroy whatever is either useful or ornamental) on these two hills; and as many of them are not natives of the country, they may, in after-times, mislead and puzzle Botanists. We therefore insert the following correct Catalogue of all that have been sown and painted : Allium bicalense lacteum strictum Acaena laevigata latebrosa Aconitum nitidum Clematis erecta Cucubalus Italicus uncinatum Orientale Pyrenaicum Angelica Archangelica hybridum Astragalus Carolinianus montanum sulcatus pallidum uralensis speciosum cicer Dianthus atrarubens virescens barbatus glycyphyllus Lilium martagon Pyrenaica tristis Linum angustifolium perrene sibericum Latus glancus Lupinus Nootkatensis Lychnis brachypetala heterophylla Illyrica macrophyllus Anthericum liliastrum Artemisia leucanthifolia Aster Alpinus Agrastemma Flosjovis Asperula galoides Alyssum creticum Aquilegia vulgaris Arabis pendula Asphodelus ramosus Antirrhinum purpureum pictum Athamanta alata siberica Atriplex hortensis Betonica officinalis Bidens tripartita Bubon buchtarmensis Campanula lat. coerulea pallida alba ncranica Digitalis ferruginea laevigata Draba incana Dracocephalum Ruys chiana Dracocephalum sibiri cum Epilobium roseum Galium pubescens asclepediae Geranium Ibericum Geum macrophyllum strictum Glaucium luteum Hedysarum Onobrychis saxatile Heracleum Alpinum Malva rotundifolia Melilotus Kokleana Melissa aethos grandiflora Mimulus luteus Myagrum perfoliatum italica latifolia multibracteata Oenothera sinuata tuberosa Phyteuma betonicifolia Pimpinella magna Plantago Alpina altíssima amplifolium amplexicaulis minus bassiacum elegans cordata saxatilis sibiricum Thymus Alpinus lamifolia gummiferum Polemonium coeruleum melissoides mexicanum Trifolium pictum Potentilla opaca pumila alba pumila coerulca sibirica Hieraceum glaucum multifida ochroleucurr Verbascum formosum pedata umbellatum Pensylvanica Veronica longifolia perfoliaturn Centaurea calcephala benedicta Chaerophyllum colora tum Calendula arvensis .. maculatum Chrysanthemum grandiflavum Cochlearia danica Hypericum hirsutum Iberis ciliata Hyssopus officinalis Laserpitium angustifo lium Laserpitium hispidum erecta maritima rupestris media ruthenica Poterium polygamum METEOROLOgical table, Kept at Edinburgh, in the Observatory, Caltonhill.

The second Observation, in the afternoon, in the first column, is taken by the Register Thermometer. AT the date of our last, harvest had commenced in the early districts, and we have now to state, that in such situations, the whole of the crop is safely secured in the barn-yard. In the Highland districts, the crop is not yet quite cut down, and must have suffered considerably by the late shaking, boisterous winds. Showers have been frequent since our last, but were generally succeeded by high winds. Since the commencement of the present month, the temperature has become gradually lower, the mercury often falling as low as 400 in the night; and hoar-frosts now begin to blacken potato foliage. At no former period do we recollect to have seen the crop occupy so little space in the barn-yard; even on the most favourable soils, the crop has been deficient in bulk; and with regard to oats and barley, there will be a considerable deficiency in grain. Wheat, though deficient in straw, will yield a full average crop of grain, and potatoes, it is presumed, will yield a full return. Turnips have not made much progress, and will, for the most part, be very light. Some fallows have been sown with wheat, and a considerable breadth is ready for the seed. Young grass has come up very irregularly on stubborn soils. The aftermath of the current crop has improved considerably since the last week in August; but should nightly hoar-frosts continue, such grass will soon be rendered useless. The anticipated scarcity of fodder will force numbers of cattle into the market; this circumstance will help to keep down their prices, which of late was likely to improve. Grain of every description continues to bring low prices; oats and barley, indeed, be gin to be sought after, and from the deficiency in both these species of grain, a considerable rise may be expected in the spring and summer months.
