SCOTLAND.
The "living" of Scone has been presented by the Crown to Mr. .T.' Craik, tutor in - Heriot's Hospital, Edinburgh. This exercise of Government patronage has been in direct opposition to the interest of the Earl of Ma»sfield.—Dandee.24dveitiser.
Among the victims of cholera at Canonmills (near Edinburgh), were a husband and wife, Who died nearly at the same instant. An affec- tionate daughter, in place, hearing of their illness, arrived hurriedly to soothe the bed of affliction ; but just before her arrival, they had sunk under the disease. Their corpses were carried off shortly after their demise. The daughter followed to the door, looked after the proces- sion for a moment or two, suddenly threw up her hands, seized each side of her head, and tore away two handsful of hair: she was conveyed. to One of the hospitals in a state bordering on insensibility, and died, shortly afterwards. It was ascertained, by surgical examination, that she died of a broken heart.—Scotrman.
