On a is Itoysl !byline's and his Noble Host, ffien ed divine worship in the parish of Lagoin, cud on Mon day they advanced to Kinrara Lodge, the delightful hunting seat of the Marquis of Huntly. The wea ther lima since proved admirable, and the time of the distinguished pirty has been pleasantly divided between the moors of Badenoch and the elegant hos pitalities of Kinrara. His Royal Highness is said to have often expressed himself in glowing terms of admiration, in the course of his journey through the endless diversity of sublime, picturesque, and ro mantic scenery which enriches the route by which he approached the Highlands; hut by nothing did he appear so much work and delighted, as by a scene nor jnreul by the imagination of Isis Noble NA ' at Kiiirara, and which almost realised the spa parition of Rliodrric Ohu's mountain ambuscade. Nonce Leopold, conducted by his host, ascended Tor Aisle, where the Marchioness of Noisily. and a sin iii party of Highland Ladies and Gentlemen, waited to receive hint. In the middle of this cere monial. and ainidst a comparative stillness and soh tude, the piper suddenly sounded the rallying note. " Wild as the scream of the curfew, From crag to crag the signs' flew.

This publication has* twofold claim to notice, arising from the interesting portraitnre which it, presents of the character of Lady Russell, and from the clear and familiar details accompanying it. concerning the times in which she lived. That the kites. themselves are genuine, would be shun dandy manifest from internal evidence Moue ; but their authenticity is placed beyond the shadow of a doubt, by the fact, that they are given from ori ginals in the possession of his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, who is descended front this excellent Lady. The life which illustrates her correspond ence appears to be written in a kindred spirit, and at the same time evinces great diversity cod extent of research, not only into the received testimonies of history, but into the records and traditions of private families. The most pathetic part of the narrative is un doubtedly that which relates to the tri4l and execu tion of Lord Russell. and which describes the he roic and devoted conduct of his wife in so dreadful a crisis. As it would be vain to attempt an abridg ment of this impressive recital, we can only recom mend it with earnestness to the perusal of our readers, and shall select one or two specimens from the sequel. After exemplifying. in various ways, the meek resignation with which Lady Russell bore this catastrophe, the author thus alludes to the effect produced on her feelitigs by an event which had a more fortunate issue : The trial and acquittal of Lord Delamere, is January 1686, is a sew cause of recurrence to ber own harder tale : with the feeliop suggested by it, she is vain reproaches herself. 14 When I should rejoice with them that do rejoice, I seek a corner to weep in. I find I am capable of uu more glad ness; but every mew circumstance—the very comparing my night of sorrow after sorb a day, with theirs of joy, dues, front ■ reflection of one kind mother. rack my uneasy mind. Though I am far from wishing the close of theirs like mine, yet I cannot refrain geeing some time to lament mine was nut like theirs." The revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Lewis JV., the number of Protestants, fugitives fur conscience sake, who arrived in England, the cruelties exercised against those who were not lucky enough to get away, and the severe regulations made to prevent their escape, produced. this year, the live. best sensation its England. The effects which these events hail on tine general feeling of the country have not, perhaps, been allowed their due weight among the causes which led di rectly to the Revolution : a Revolution which, proetiog by the experience of the rebellion, correcting the negligence and omissions of the restoration, preserving all that was good in our previous government, and discarding much of the evil, finally established a system of institutious the least de. pendent on the indivitlii•l characters of meu that had then beets wituessed, and, consequently,* scheme of polity, which more than a century's experience in trying and difficult limes, has proved to be the best ever yet imagined fur the govern. meat of men in nn advanced period of civilisatiou. Nothing could be more unlucky fur the views of James, nor more unfavourable to his zealous ardour for the props. gation of his religion, than this striking example, brought so near home, of what might be its persecuting spirit under a despotic Prince, nursed in its exclusive principle.. James had been obliged, however unwillingly, to consent that a brief should he read in all the Protestant congregations of England in behalf of their sufferiug brethren from France. •ru this brief his Chancellor, Jeffries, tree, as keeper of the King's conscience, to what he knew were its real feelings, twice delayed to put the seal, and afterwards made the qua lifications necessary to partake of the charity so many, and their observance so strict, that few could avail themselves of it. The effect of these transactions on the truly Christian mind of Lady Russell may be racily guessed, and are con firmed to us by the manner in which she had previously es pressed herself to Dr. Fitzwilliain, as to the qualities she required in a domestic chaplain 6 - I approve with you the Church of Coe,land—the brat church and best offices and services in it upon the face of the earth that we know of. But, Sir, I shell covet uue so moderate, as not to be impa tient and paseionate against all such as cannot think so too; but of such et temper as to be able to converse peaceably with such as may have freedom in my family, though not of it, without giving offence, and I take it to be the best way of gabbing good people to our opinions.* The memoir concludes with a Runnel between ilie (Ammeters of Liuly Rurs.ll and Ma4l:ttie de Se►igne, of which the Inllowing is au extract : In the fancied niches of the Temple of Fame, which it is 110411'11ot to 1111Sitll to past mini, Lady Russell and Madame de Shoo* may surely be placed at the head of ft male excel lence in their respective countries; and the entirely separate character of their minds, their les of thinking, their opi. and their habits of life, may perhaps he found, nut sedately. to represent the appropriate and di-tinguishing ex cellency:. of the two halloos to which they belong.

(Pram " The Now Monthly Napalm" (Continuo likes ow Paper of Thstradap.) Another of my comrades. who fell sick, was shot by one of the keepers, after which his skull served me to drink out of for fourteen years. I brought it with me to Marseilles, as will be seen in the end. I lost three companions in all during my captivity, two of whom were shot, and the Italian just mentioned. Although I had not less than thirty different ones, they - stook care never to chain a Frenchmen up with me, thiukilig. that such a plan might lead to plots. This afforded me the means of learning several languages, so that I can now speak the Arabic, English, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, with as much facility is French; I also understood a little German and Dutch. The slims generally rise at two in the morning, to avoid the bastinado„ applied by large supple canes, that are kept steeped in water to prevent their getting too light. Some work in the sheik's garden, while others hew wood, till the groom!, or draw, yoked to a plough. I was frequently employed five or six leagues from the prison, with several more of the slaves, in irlooghing. It was cus tomary, on those occasions, for a party of Koubals, taken froth the adowars (who are obliged by law to furnish guards for the ►laves) to form a circle round us, not to prevent escape, fur that was imposai ble, but in order to protect us from the beasts of prey, some of which were coustautly on the watch to seize the unarmed captive. There are always a hundred and fifty armed men to watch over the safety of a hundred slaves. But although there are sentinels incessantly on the look out, it sloes not prevent the lion from carrying off his prey if greatly pressed by hunger, as L raw proved in the case of an unfortunate Spaniard, who once happened merely to go the length of the chain from his companion, when suddenly a lion rushed from a thicket and proceeded to carry him off. On the nearest Koubid giving the alarm, the ferocious animal was instantly surrounded and shot, but too late fur saving the poor Spaniard's life, as he had already expired, his entrails being torn completely out by a single grasp. It is remarkable that the cries of men drive the beasts of prey back into the woods, whereas they are attracted by the sound of fire-erms, as if curiosi►y formed some part of their instinct. Having thus given a specimen of the early part of our hero's adventures, reception, and treatment, we shall not follow him so minutely through a riety of less interesting details relative to the man ners and customs of the Arab+, more complete ac counts of which being to be found in the narratives of Tully • and l'iniantit much more at length. But in order that no material points of vu singular • story may be withheld front our residers, they will be given in a snore abridged form, when not thought aufficiently important to be related in the words of Dumont himself. As the prison allowance was totally inadequate to satisfy the cravings of hunger, under such 4.-Yrre labour, the slaves were tinder the necessity of hav ing recourse to every means within their remelt to supply the deficiency. This was generally effected at noon, wheu the keepers went through 11 rellg4ms ceremony of ablution, nr when no water could be found, rubbing the body over with a stone. As nothing whatever could induce them either to omit this practice, or suspend it when once begun, it was invariably the signal of foraging for the .laves, who instantly spread themselves around the spot, and seized every thing they could lay their hands on, whether in a garden or house, that did not hvp pen to be carefully watched. The nt urnuilers ge nerally paid rather dearly fur this sitetles of indul gence, for uo sooner were they ili4vuvered by the pious keepers, - than trollies of stones, kept in bag. suspended from the saddles of the lattries homy, brought them back, for the purpose of receiving the usual salutations of the bamboo ! o3lct t (laced soup. proof ..... ----- —............ ...---.....

' The arrival of a Prince, who came from Mo rocco for the purpose of collecting the 'mosso! to bute, indirectly led to a aeries of perseentim.% from Ditmont's keeper, which not only irnbittere.l his situation very much, but eventually almost pro duced his death. Having contrived to excite Ole Prince's commiseration in favour of his comps nions, the former gave him • hundred sequin-. which he immediately distributed among them. A• the keeper witnessed the receipt and distribution t.i this mini. it occurred to him that Dumont ought to have made him a participator : a neglect which duty exposed him to the most crud treat ment imaginable. No longer able to endure tt..• severity of his persecutor, he formed the resolutioa of being revenged; and accordingly, when nes. struck by the latter, he seined a large stone, owl threw it with such force at the keeper's eye, that was forced from the socket.
