AiACIAN6I; OF CLANRANALb ARD GLENGARRY. iROM Tilt 6ALlttoxlAir Several of our Contemporaries have already innoiin- W the de ith of this Celebrated Chief, accompanied ;,ith not•ces mire or 1 as accurate of the melancholy arid deplorable circumstances order which it took place.— the facts, as far ps we have been able to collect them f ront a variety of le.ters we have received, are shoals these: —Orr Wednesday the 16th, Glengarry, and his two eldest d .ughters, embarked on board the Stirling, steam boat, at Invergarry House, with the view of p roc ee ii g to Glasgow, on their way to this city, where i t was intended the youn - Ladies should spend the re. minder of the winter; but, owing to the state of the heather or some other cause, the boat stopped for the n ight at Banavie Locks, near Fort William. Next morning it blew a perfect hurricane, notwithstanding which the vessel cleared the locks; and as the wind, though vio lent, was favourable for the voyage, she unhappily pursued her course for Oban. This place, however, she was not destined to reach. Opposite Inverscatidel, about six miles west of Fort William upon the Ardgour side, part of the machinery gave way, in consequence o f which the engine became unworkable, and the vessel was soon &flied ashore on the rocks. In this perilous situation, Glengarry's attention was naturally direved to the s 'fel y of his daughters; and a boat basin., been procured, one of them was conveyed to t h e be sch, the rest of the passengers and the crew endeavoto ing in the mean while to escape as they best c , uld. Bur, unfortunately, while the second Miss Macdonell was bring c tined ashore, Glengarry, alarmed by her danger, I! a,,ed from the steam boat on a rock; and his foot slipping, he was precipitated into the wa ter, his head striking with great violence against a ledge of the rock. After being a few seconds in the water, h wever, he so tar recovered from the immediate effects of the coatusinas as' to be able to swim ashore, whore he joined the young ladies; and, having rested a little on the beach, he proceeded on foot with his daughters to Mr. Macdougall's house, at Inverscaddel, a mile distan:, which he reached about three o'clock in the ;Otero ion. Whether from a bcliet that the injury he had received was not serious, or with the kindle view of allaying the affectiotate alarms of his daughters,' Glengarry at first treated the accident lightly, and ea, pressed his conviction that he would soon recover, and be able to proceed with them to Edinburgh. But, alas! the bow proved fatal. The brain had teceived a mortal injury trom the violence of the shock ; and in a few short hours the chief of Clanranald and Glengarsy was no muse. The only other sufferer was a servant of Madan's, an Englishman, who, we understand, war drowned in attemptin4 to reach the shore. The vessel soon became a total wreck. Early on Friday, a Mr. Stewart proceeded from Fort William to Invergarry to announce the mournful intel ligence to Mrs. Macdonell and the rest of the family but on his arrival there he found that the disastrous tidings had outrun him, and that Mrs. Macdonell (who is eacerate) having been previously apprised of the loss of the steam boat, was in a condition scarcely to be ima gined, far less described; so that he was obliged to re turn without accomplishing his object. In the course of the same day, however, the unhappy Lady was made acquaintedwith the full extentof the calamity which had befallen herself and her family ; and by those who know as we do the enthusiastic affection with which G;en garry doted on his wife, and which she ardently re ciprocated, some faint idea may be formed of the impression which such an overwhelming communication was likely to produce ; though we are assured that no language can pourtray the scene of agonising and heart rending distress which succeeded the withering intima eon of her bereavement. On Sa urday, Glengarry's . remains were brought to Invergarry House. They were received on board his own barge at Banavie Locks, and from thence conveyed along the course of the Caledonian Canal to his family residence, wise e the young Ladies at:teed in the course of the same day, No arrangements for the funeral will be made till the arrival of Lord - Medwyn, Colonel James Macdonell of the Coldstream Guards, and Mr. &fleas, Glengarry's only son and heir„ which was hourly expected. These, however, is ill pro bably he on a scale of magnificence worthy the de scendant of a long line of Chi, fs, and the proptietor of such extensive and even princely domains. Thus peridied in the prime of life, and by an un worthy fate, a man of whose character the public at large, and those who had the happiness to enjoy- his fiietidship, have long formed, and will probably con• tinue to form, the most opposite opinions. At the hazard, however, of being discredited by the former, we shall endeavour to describe that character, as it displayed itself to our observation during the lt.). or 15 'ears that we have had the honour of enjoying his ac quaintance, and, we may, perhaps, be per mitted to add, his friendship, Endowed by nature with an ardent tern perament, strong passions, and a mind that was an utter stranger to fear, Glengarry was naturally bold, daring , andvcsolute, and, under certain impulses, it must be con fessed, headstrong, violent, and impetuous. Hs was easily excited by any manifestation of insolence or defiance on the part of others ; and, sometimes, in a moment of passion, was betrayed into acts of rashness and un prudence, which he afterwards had c arse to tegtet. andwhich, which, indeed, were most alien trothe general and pre• dominant feelings of his nature. But these gusts were accidental and transitory, and were soon succeeded by and c alm; the '' deep shadows of his character sunshine being relieved and contrasted with very brilliant and sti Otitis lights. Like all men of warm tempers, he was generous, open, frank, and undisguised ; equally Inca . pable of concealing his own sentiments, or of enduring those %ha practised the arts of evasion and dissimulation , which extensive commerce with the world is too apt to teach. In kindliness of disposition no man ever surpassed him; and though he has been described as variable and unsteadfast in his attachments, we have known few who could boast of older, firmer, or more devoted friends. As a hcsband and father he was allowed, even by his enc . ;ru es, of whom he bad many, to be most exemplary.— Indeed his devotion to his family was with him an all engrossing passion in that little circlehe had " garnered t," pp his heatand he had not a thought or a wish ex cept for their comfort and prosperity, to promote which he would ban accounted no sacrifice, even that of fife itself, too costly, To them he was the gentlest of the gentle, the kindness of the kind : not a frown was ever seen to sit on his brow, Of a cloud to flit actors his countenance while surrounded by them; and we have often watched with inexpressible pleasure the de , light which beamed from his large and full blue eye, as he regarded them with silent rapture. He was !hos pitable and liberal io no ordinary degree; indulgent to hs tenants pa dependents, and passionately attached 40 his country and his elan. On the subject of chief tainship he was sometimes a little extravagant, and could oot easily endoie any ;me to. dispute his preten lions as not merely the head of his own Sept (which indeed was never questioned), but as the Chief of the a link race who lo by his same, bat then, be wit such a nolue represearative Of the g ri it feudal Baron; of other times, and, in his princely bearing and chivalrous spirit, seemed .o admirably fitted to sustain the character 're assumed, that no one could look at him and dispute his claim-, or feel any other regret, whew these claim• were ma 'e ennd, erre t that he was born a century trio late. Ilad he lived in the Fif een or tfe Forty• five, he would, like his brave ancestors, have been found on the losing side, doer ring his claymore and his el in to the service of an unfortunate Prince, and doing all that the most heroic gallantry could achieve, to cut a way for him to the British throne. In these more civilized and less romantic times, he was accordingly somewhat out of place; and he felt keenly the sneers which were sometimes levelled by under-bred witlings, at the rank and state he assumed. But his feel ings and conduct were at least natural in the descendant of a long line of Chiefs and feudal Barons; and it will scarcely be denied, now he is gone, that he was the ullimus Romanorunt of a class which the stern hand of the law has at last succeeded in extinguishing. In his manners, Glengarry was a polished and high-bred Gentleman. lie had at different periods mixed in the most refined society of the principal capitals of Eu• rope, and had been no inattentive observer of its modes; in his own country he frequently found his way within the precincts of the Court ; and what was of more importance than all, nature had stamped him a Gentleman. .But the faithful husband, the affectionate lather, the steadfast mend, the proud Chief, and the accomplished Gentleman is no more; the grave will soon close for ever on his mortal remains ; and it ma) be permitted to the friendly. hand that has traced this honest tribute to his memory to express a feeling of deep and sincere sorrow for his untimely fate. May his ashes rest in peace ! They v. ill not be unhallowed by a few .se.ontatreous, unbought tears. CLARENCE BRIDGE. Yesterday a Vestry Meeting of the inhabitants of the palish of Lambeth was held at the new Vestry Hall, in Church•str •et, for the purpose of considering how the . . interests of the parish will be affected by Affitding of relusing their culiective sanction to the intended Lam• • heth Bridge, from Church-street to the Horseferry-rued, We%tmin.ter. At ten o'clockWlLLtAtu SIMPSON, Esq. the Churchw4acien, took the Chair. M r.fLis R wooD commenced the business of the Meeting by stating, that, in his opinion, the riectinn of the pto posed Btitige, which was intended to he called tl , e Itord Clarence 13ridge,"'wnuld prove vfcnnsidetable hentfit to the inhabttants of the ancient - Pat ish of Lam- beth,..s it must ,end to increase their trade, It was in tended to cr. ss the River fnm Lirnhe.h Stairs to the Horseferry-rnad,Westminster. If a bridge was wanted at Ali hetwent V timbal' and Westminster, it w as unneccs- sary to e that that was the most eligible situation for it, the wisarm t.f our forefathers having cointed it . out as a most convenient place for building a Bridge, it tidying been for ages u,ed by them a., a common ferry. Moiern improvements 1 al rendered it still more so, the various new roads that had been made in the Perish all centered near the proposed site of the intended Bridge, and which, if erected, would be a consider. able saving of distance in travelling towards the Wes tern road. The project of erecting a Bridge across the Thames from Lambeth &tail s bad since been revived from time to time, and plans and prospectuses wet e from time to time submitted to the notice of the public; but when the question was last agitated, in consequence of the numerous bubble sch• mes that were then afloat, it was throght better to abandon it for a time, to prevent a project of such real utility from be ng confounded with such plausible and delusive schemes. A mot esfavourable opportunity had now pre en ed itself for submitting the proposed plan to the no ire of the publ.e, and the only object in convening he present Vestry was to ascertain the opinion of the t habitints of Lambeth upon-the question. If the intended new 1 .-;-.idge lave erected, there could be no don t that the prryerty of the houses and land in the vie nit,' would be consithrably enhanced in value. In his opinion, such a Bridge as tt e one proposed ought to have been.built Yeats ago; but now the present den sity of the population in the neighbout hood of Lambeth tendered it absolutely necessary to facilitate the means of communication between that and the opposite s de of the river. According to an estimate that had 'been made, 13,0001. would be sufficient to compensate the persons whose premises must necessarily be removed, and to defray the expenses of making the approaches to the bridge, and 120,0001. would cover the whole expense. Mr. COLLINS.—May I ask the worthy Gentleman if it is part of the proposed plan to pull down Westminster Bridge ?—(Loud laughter.) Mr. HARWOOD.—Certainly not. He hoped that Bridge would stand for ages. Af er some further ob servations, Mr. H. moved 'the following resolution : " !trusteed—That, is the opinion of the Vestry, the erection of the intended Bridge across the Thames, from the Palace, at Lam beth, to the Horse Ferry, at Westminster, sttiU-be highly beneficial :o this Parish." Mr. FILACHE seconded the motion. On the question being put s Captain TUCK said, that as an individual. he ap proved of the proposed plan, lout objected to the parish being called upon to do so. Mr. HAROJOOD, in explanation, said, it was not his wish to bind the palish as to any future proceedings—. all he wanted was to ascertain the opinion of the inha bitants upon the subject. Mr. DYmEs said, that in reference to the erection of a Bridge improving the neighbourhood, he would ()Olt refer them to V-uxhall Bridge, the land in the neigh bourhood of which bas been to let ever since it bad been built. Mr.Coixtus said, that in his opinion the whole -cot cern, to use A vulgar phrase, was all my eye and deny Martin''—(Laughter ). Mr. LETT, the Magistra e, approved of the Resolu tion, to which he thought there was no reasonable ground of objection. Mr. WILLIAMS opposed it, and moved an Amend ment to it, which was, alter some discussion, put and negatived. After a very long and stormy debate, the origin Resolution, with a trifling alteration; was put and carried by a very considerable inajottty. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the Meeting separated. The Senior Lieutenant and Mate of each ship en• gaged at Navarin are, or will be, promoted to their next rank. Captain Joitx WILK** is appointed to the Tribune frigate at Chat ham, fitting for foreign service.

On Thursday morning, at half-past 12 all the company had left the house; wai:bd ailtiarter or an hour, and then went to see if all the candles were out, and examined the'parlour, tap room, and kitchen files. There were but a few cinders in'each, and they lay the bottom of the grate, and could not have caused the fire; and 'I was satisfied that all was safe. I slept in the two pair stairs front room ; no person lodged below me. • William Argent went to his room a little after eleven o'clock ;he and h - is two brothers, and my son, slept in one room; and the other persons missing wet my daughter and servant girl; my daughter slept in a small room off our larger one; the servant dladde was in a small apartment, and I think she went io bid before eleven o'clock. Goady WAS in the house; and is missing; he slept in a three pai; front; he a en! u, stairs at a cum ter pa t tr. else.

I went to the window aid cal:ed out " Fire!" so did my ~happy daughter. The set rant girl came up and asked what they were to do? I desired them to folio A my wile, and .I shouted " Watch, match! bring the ladders." M) A ile desired me to save the cash box, 'and this delayed rue. I think my d iti.w.ter and the servant-gill fe;l Jown, As they w. to found in a• situation that leads me .0 suspect so. I remised to the window, and 1 got ou and hung by t' e cil' ; I 'hen dropped on the sign board, And from thence to the penthouse over the shop front, and gained t!.e street. I was the last person that escaped, and, when I gained the treet, I found all those that had - been lucky enough to escape. There were two more persons in the house, J. Williams, who dropped out of the three pair of stairs window, and James Ormsby, whose body has not yet been found. The in ternal part•oi thi house was lighted with gas; I did not smell any escape of it. 1 think the fire commenced at the bottom ; but how it originated I cannot tell. I had not been in the cellar in the evening. I did not •use wooden spittoons. The'fire did not commence at the back of the house, for those that are alive escaped backs% ards. • Juror—Do you think the fire originated by accident or intention? Witness—l have every reason to think by accident. Juror—When the alarM was given to your daughter. did she stop to dress herself ? Witness—She put or. her pelisse. la about six Minutes a watchman came from Savage•gardens, and sprang his tattle. Juror—Were there any ladders brought? Witness — There were not. The lodgers had some friends from over the water with them. Juror—Was there any thing to prevent them (the lodgers) ciming down and making their escape? Wit ness—N.me whatever. Juror—Was there any door ?—None. Henry Cane, son to the last witne.s, deposed as 101 lows :—I lived in the house, Slept on the same fluor as my father, and was alarmed by his calling out.

Ore brOther, oho slept with me, escaped; but my other brother could not. and perished. • ' Mr. Thomas Hook, into whose house the survivors were taken, and numbered watchmen, were examined. Their testimony went to the tact, that Mete cell rinly had been some delay in 'Hunt, the beadle, supplying the ladders, and that a very reprehensible interval had intervened between * his being applied to and affording :assistance. The Conoxea said, the question the Jury had to determine was whether the deaths were accidental, or caused by malice? Titey had nothing to do with the conduct of the Ward Officers, the investigation of whi.:l, properly belonged to their twin authorities, and would, he doubted not, be inquired into. The Jury, after a few.ministes'consilleration, returned a Verdict of " Accidental Death." al The British side of thes . nor th.east boundary question amounts exactly to this. 'They acknowledge that the line was to run 'north till it came to the highlands v hith separate the waters which run into the St. Lawrence from those which run'into the Atlantic; but they say• t his was stipulated in ignorance On both sides, for in running north from said source, it never does nor ever can come to such highlands or such division of waters. • —Boston Palladium.

THE LATE STORK The extraordinary course of nature, as tel to the weather since the year 1824, is worthy of remark t up to that period, it was ever considered that the changes of the moon invariably operated (not only in this court. try but in all parts of the world) in:causing:Omni/es in the weather and fluctuations in the tides. Destructive storms usually toak place with stream tides ; brit incite the memorable storm of 1844, all the gals, in this part of the country, worthy of notice, have taken place about the neap of tides, or quarter of the moon. 'this wits the case in the late hurricane of the 13th of January, when high water (which rose to fifteen feet six inchel, was at a quarter before ene o'clock in the morning, the time of the dead of the neap. The commencerneht of the hurricane was at one hour after high waters . This being the case, it is not matter of wonder thAt the re• flux of the great body of the.tide water aided, by she extraordinary pressure of land floods, greater than ever before known, pouring down the rivers and harbours, directlyagainst a violent wind, caused in an open road. stead, such an agitated surface, that few vessels could withataad it. The height of this hurricane appears from all accounts, to have been at three o'clock is the.morn ing, at which time the surface of the water ooght to have been about thirteen feet above the level of .low water mark. The lower part of the sea•side of the breakwater, it is therefore presumed, had never experi enced such a trial as in the lase instance; but we are happy in being able to add, that no impression what.. ever has been made upon the break water by the hurri , cane.
