TEMPORARY OFFICES. 4.k, Alderman's-walk, New Broad-street. - - PROSPECTUS: The objects of the company are, first, to Construct a rail way, about nine mile& in length, from the " Old Port" of 4.l)larseilles to Podestat, to afford increased faeilitiei for. the commerce andmanufactures of thetown andport ; secondly, to acquire land •on both sides of the line - thrbughout its length for building and other purposes, to which great value • , will bo given by the construction of the railway. The reputation of Marseilles as the first maritime city of tFratj,co4i4 well known, socend.only jo Paris in populitiou and wealth ; its position and capabilities give it the com mand of French commerce in the 3klediterranean. -Within The last ten years Marseilles jaaaheen placed in direct railway communication with Paris and all parts of' Prance. Idagnificont docks and warehouses havebeen con structed; but k - Felit, and rapid as those new works have been -'they are still far behind the Irequirements of-its ever-in creashig trade. °The old quarters of the town are being demolished to malrereom for handsome Streetsandpublic buildingi. The t Population thus displaced are driven to the suburbs, more • egpoeially - te*ards the south, where the lauds df the Com-, pany aro situate, and where a fine valley stretches from-the, ( town to the- Metterranew with a,,view of tltd sea,: and ()Pen to the refreshing :Breezes, Which during the summer - afford4he only rellefkfbdm the intense beat of the' city. The engwious value of-ground in the town-may be esti mated by the fa& that, for'anyexte'nsion, rocks 60 feethigh lihwitohiccleared away to give 'sites ftir building ; it° will beizeidibtisuderstbod that such a locality lane longer suited for. the erection of ordinary dwellings, or factories and che mical works, which latter, for sanitary reasons; will soon bo drivenfeom the city. • ° The prowsed railway, after leaving, the port and town of 300,000 inhabitants, will pass through the southern suburb, which contains a population of 50,000, and follow the:Talley to the sea, ,at the "Madrague.do Montredon," from thence it will be continued for three miles .along the constto - Podestat, affordingsites for the erection of factories, with access to the sea, and direct railway communication with the town and port, ,and with the Paris, Lyous, and Mediterranean lines ' by it junction with the proposed now • branch of the latter to the "Place Castellatie." - - There are at the present time 460- factories in the town, employing nearly 10,0 . 00 werknieri, and the namber of factories would rapidly. increase were it not for the heavy charges to which they are subjected from jlie increao,ins, - value of the 'ground occupied, and `thy want of direct rair- 7 Way connexion with the port and with the Paris, Lyons, and Mediterranean lines. The proprietors of these estab lishments will gladly avail themselves of the opportunity of disposing of their present sites to great advantage, anti removing to a locality combining the facilities of sea and railway communication, wit h perfect freedom from all the difficulties of their present position, and where land can be obtained front the Company at a tenth part of the price new paid for building ground in the town. In order to form an opinion of the pecuniary results of the proposed operations of the Company, it will be desir able to consider separately the income to be derived from the railway, and the profit to be realised by the sale of the land of the Company. First, with reference to the railway it must be observed, that the existing lines are connected with the new port "Joliette" and the docks, but that the Old Port, which is 6 7 acres in extent, is entirely without railway communica tion or docks, notwithstanding which the official statistics of the Government show, that during the last year for Which they are published, 1863, the returns for the "Old Port" were as.follows : Vessels. Tons of Merchandise. 4 , 3 810 of various nations entered, carrying 950,180 4,303 „ left, ~ 593,842 8,686 Total of vessels. 1,544,022 Tons During the same period the returns for the new port " Joliette" were : Vessels. Tons of Merchandise. 2,609 of various nations entered, carrying 364,121 330.876 2 , 400 11 71 left, 77 5,009 Total of vessels. 694,997 Tons. nut in addition to this the new port "Joliette" received and sent off 1,159,021 tons of merchand ise in 1863, by 5,873 steamers, on account of the facilities afforded by the railways and docks. It is evident from those returns that a railway to the Old Port must secure a very large amount of goods traffic, and from the population of the suburban district through Which the line will pass, and the number of factories, &C., already established in that locality it is calculated that the revenue will produce an immediate profit revenue equal to 15 per cent. on the outlay, which income will be rapidly in creased by the erection of houses and factories along the line. There will bo seven intermediate stations between Marseilles and Podestat, one of which will be for the ," Race Course," and the "Public Gardens , " a nd " Chateau zorell 37." The Company have contracted for the execution of the Works of the railsVay from the " Place Castellano" to 4 .f Podestat," at the price of £185,000. Secondly, with reference to the profit to be realised b y the sal e o f the land of the Company, it may be stated that all previous speculations in land at Marseilles have been successful. The Company have contracted for the purchase of about 1,200,000 square metres of land (about 300 English acres) situate on both sides of the proposed railway, between the town and the " Madrague do Montredon ;" 140,040 retres of which will be required for the construction or the line and stations, leaving 1,060,000 metres to be sold for the erection of first-class residences. _ _ It has been estimated by competent judges of the value o building sites in the neighbourhood of Marseilles, that on the completion of the railway the whole of this land will bo readily sold at the price of at least 20 francs per metre, at which rate it will produce 21,200,000 francs, or £848,000. The Company have also contracted for the purchase of a very large tract of ground beyond the "Madrague de Mon tredon," through which the railway will pass to Podestat ; 1,500,000 metres (about 375 acres) of this land, adjoining both sea and railway, will be at once available as sites for factories and works of all kinds. Estimating the selling price of this land at 10f. per metre, a sum sufficiently low to induce the manuf acturers to esta blish their works rapidly in the locality, it will produce a sum of 15,000,000 f., or £600,000. The average cash cost to the Company of the land above referred to is only 51-f. per metre, including the houses already built thereon. and including also upwards of 1 0,000,000 metres of land (about 2,500 acres) on the coast line for three miles beyond the' proposed terminus at Podestat, which will thus be acquired by the Company free of cost, and which will be made available at some future time by an extension of the railway and the forma tion of roads. An ample supply of water,which is indispensable at Mar seilles, both for houses and land, can be obtained from the existing works, which have cost the municipality more than 60,000,000 francs. The additional capital required for the payment of land will be raised in debentures to be repaid out of the produce of the land sales. The practical bearing of the land question is as follows : - -Assuming the sale of the land at the low prices named, the profits arising therefrom will not only repay the whole cost of the railway, but in addition there will remain a very large surplus for division as bonus amongst the share holders. The railway concession from the French Government is for the term of 99 years. The lands of the Company will bo freeholds in perpetuity, except the small portion occupied by the railway, which must necessarily be surrendered with the lino at the expi ration of the concession. 5,000 of the shares have been subscribed for in France, and will be issued with £8 per share paid up thereon ; 3,000 shares will be reserved for issue as full paid up shares ; leaving . 12,000 ordinary shares for issue to the public. 20,000 The Articles of Association, and also the contract, con cession s, and plans, may be seen at the offices o f the solidi -I°ra, Messrs.

This Company has been formed to take over the busi ness of the Accidental Death Insurance Company—the existing constitution and cital of which are now found to be inconveniont and in ad apequate to its recently largely extended operations. Thit Company (empowered by special Acts of Parlia ment; 15 Vic., c. 56, and 22 and:_23 Vic., c. 22) was founded in 1849, with a nominal capital of £250,000, in 50,000 shares of £5 each, of which 20,000 have been issued. The folloWing statement, embracing the amount of Premiums since the commencement of the Company, shows the pro gressive and steadily increasing nature of its operations: — THE ACCIDENTAL BRANCH. 1850 £1,228 1 6 1857 £25,530 3 10 1851 1852 1853 - 9 1860 1854 1855 1856 The accounts of the recently forma Marine Insurance Companies., which have exhibited gdod divldonds and shown prospects of great value, leave no doubt on the minds of the Directors that at any rate equal success will attend the efforts of the Corporation in this direction. The services of a gentleman of experience have been secured as Underwriter. The extensive machinery of agents (of which there are between 4,000 and 5,000) is in full work, and is of great value—indeed the directors confidently believe that all that is required to secure a rapid increase in the existing business is a proper adaptation of modem requirements as regards capital and position.

On the first occasion his Royal Highness was pleased to direct the major general commanding the brigade to express to the regiment his high satisfaction, with the manner in which the battalion had marched past. On the second occasion his Royal Highness was good enough to express in person his high gratification to Col. Stuart at the manner in which the regiment moved, and to say that he considered it a pattern one. Such flattering approval involves great credit to both offi cers and men, and Col. Stuart cannot allow so pletas ing an opportunity to pass without th ank in occa e regiment for its marked attenti on on all such Cloth, price 2s. 434., HANDBOOK for the MAN of BUSINESS, fgle. _ oPntirAble to All•D of Commercial Engage cents. 44 i.ondOtt: F.

The most gigantic railway project in our engineering age seems on the eve of practical realisation. It is nothing less than a railway through the Swiss Alps, connecting Northern with Southern Europe by a continuous track for the locomotive. There appears to bo no doubt that tho physical difficulties, enormous though these aro, can be 'overcome with money, of which there is no lack, and the only question has hitherto been as to the choice of routes. The city of Genoa had appropriated 6,000,000 f. towards the work on condition that the Lukmanier pass was se lected ; Milan contributes 10 , 0 00,000 f. on a similar con dition in favour of the Splugon pass. Switzerland and Bavaria, on the other hand, prefer respectively the St. G o tthart and the Brenner. Signor Jacini, the Italian Minister of Public Works, has just appointed a commis sion to examine the various plans and report upon the locality of the proposed road best suitable to the interests of the whole kingdom. He has also induced the cities of Genoa and Milan to apply their appropriations to what ever route the commission might recommend. In addi to these 16,000,000 there is 10,000,000 which, by a clause in the treaty for the sale of the State railways, the new company is bound to contribute towards the proposed based upon the report of the com munisdseirotna,ldl v n i g il . be introduced bill, introduced in the Chambers at the next session, and negotiations are now on foot with the Go vernments of Switzerland and Baden to settle the amounts of subsidies to be paid by them.

The main army of the insurgents was shut up in the town of. Le Cap, which was besieged by sea and land by the national forces under General Lubenisse. The Senate and House of Representatives, had passed roso lutions pledging their confidence and support to the Exe cutive. The evacuation of the Domingan part of the island by the Spaniards has been completed by the blow ing up of the two forts of San Francisco and San Pedro.

Attack and Defence of Woolwich Dockyard One of the most interesting and exciting field days in connection with the volunteer movement took place on Saturday evening last, in the presence of many thousands of spectators atlVoolwiel Dockyard. The proceedings commenced by the annual in spection of the brigade of Dockyard Volunteer- Ar tillery, which assembled in review order at 5 o'clock, under the command of Major Piers, commandant of the force, with Capt. and Adjutant Elliott, and other officers, The brigade having formed into square on the parade • groun'l previous to active operations, a valuable silver challenge cup, the gift Of Mrs. Piers, wife of the major commanding, was presented to the corps by that lady, who addressed the force in appropriate terms, and handed the cup to Quartermaster -Sergeant Brown to be competed for by members of the brigade at heavy gun prac tice. The brigade was then reviewed by the in specting officer, Col. Maberly, and the commandant and staff, and subsequently marched past the standard at slow and quick time in excellent style. The force then formed square, deployed into line, and carried out a series of manual, platoon, and light infantry evolutions, which called forth the special commendations of the military officers present. The more imposing spectacle of an assault and sham fight commenced at half-past six o'clock, when the usefulness of the brigade as a defensive force was well exemplified. The attacking force was repre i::, &hit, posito barbette battery of four 12-ponnder smoothbore guns, on shore, with a party of seamen gunners and a strong detachment of :the 21st Kent (Royal Arsenal) Volunteer Rifles, and the Essex Volunteer Artillery, the latter beipg, posted with two mortars on the North Woolwich shore, whilst the dockyard battery, with several 9-pounder guns in position to the 'right and left, forming the de fence,'Were manned and worked by gunners of the dockyard brigade. The scene presented was of a most animated description. VesselS in the river decked with colours fore and aft; immense stacks of timber fronting the wharf, and every available spot commandh a view of the operations, were crowded with spectators, amongst whom were a large pro portion otTeei. Signal rockets haling been sent up froth the Fis gard, the heavy guns of that vessel' opened a terrific fire upon the dockyard battery, which replied with equal force, as did also the 9_ -pounders on the right and left., Amidst the dense smoke which prevailed, the 21st Kent, having 'embarked in small boats, were rowed round to the steps of the, bat tery ; but their landing was opposed by a murderous fire from the carbines of the defenders .and the ordnance on shore. Ulti mately the attacking force, in spite of all obstacles, protected by : the Fisgard, by means of scaling lad ders, sprang gaily over the walls of the battery, and being overpowered the gunners retreated ; the standardwas lowered in token of submission,. and the battery was fully in the hands of the enemy. The defenders, however, made a good retreat, and carried off to a good position the 9-pounder guns to the right and left of.the battery. The defenders then formed into two divisions, skirmishers were sent out, and a fierce volley firing was kept up by both ihe contending parties. At this 'juncture it was evident that other means must be adopted to regain possession of the battery, as the invaders were still protected by the guns of the Fisgard, and at the sound of the bugle the entire brigade of dock yard artillery re-formed into line in excellent order. The - guns which had been saved from the enemy were also again placed in favourable' positions for an aggressive movement, 'and the defending force at quick time made a determined and irresistible bayonet charge upon the enemy. The force in pos session was driven helter-skelter over the` walls of. the battery to their boats, and suceeedeq,. in escap? ins under cover of the Fisgaitt guns, although ex posed to a most galling fire from the carbines of a detachment stationed along the front of the wharf. The battery was completely retaken, and the stan dard again hoisted amidst the ]oud cheers of the brigade. Subsequently, both the contending parties reassembled on shore, where they were addressed in terms of high commendation by Major Piers as to the manner in which the several evolutions had been carried out. The proceedings terminated about dusk, when the force saluted and marched off, pre ceded by the bands of the dockyard brigade and the Royal Arsenal Rifles. The officers of the brigade were subsequently entertained at the residence of the commanding officer, Major Piers. lONDO BEG ONE, DULL CARE, TIIIS EVENING.

This Company is formed for the purpos e of purchasing, carrying on, and extending the busines s of Hodges's con- Dis tillery, and of appropriate operations wh ich may be nocted therewith. The world-wide reputation of this establishment is well known and appreciated. The Distillery has been estab lished and prosperously worked since 1774, and many for tunes have beon realised out of the business. This establishment, with all its cu rrent- trade, will be handed over to this Company on the Ist of August next, the vender guaranteeing the Company against any loss as to such of the assets and liabilities as it may be mutually convenient to transfer. a T a p h t e e property pu i rp s ca o s p e7a i n o uds, it iwellis h e s l i d tu u a p t e o d n , d a e n s d ir a a b a l m e i t r i a t nearly the whole being freehold. The plant has with never-ceasing care and attentionbeen improved as fast as advantageous modifications of machinery have been introduced, and its present working capability is adequate to supply a trade of fourfold the actual returns. The establishment is, moreover, provided with the most complete independent gas and water works. Looking at the present extent and condition of the pre mises, plant, and machinery, with a view to enlarged business without further outlay, the Directors feel con vinced that the establishment is one of the most perfect of its kind in existence. Relying also greatly upon the very confident expression of opinion which they obtain from gentlemen eminent in the trade as to the eligibility of the concern, Directors sincerely believe the prospects of the Company to be more glowing than they are willing to express. Mr. Frederick Hodges, the proprietor an d vendor, in re tiring, desires to do so in order to relax in his application without altogether losing his interest in the business ; and whilst he stipulates to retain a large share in the capital of the Company, he does not require to be paid in the sense of goodwill for the reputation and business of his house otherwise than out of the balance of net profits hereafter realised in excess of dividends at the rates of 10 and 15 per cent. to the Shareholders. The price to be paid by the Company for this celebrated business, therefore, is simply the amount of valuation in respect of the premises and plant, as settled by the Com pany's valuer. It is well understood, not only throughout the trade, but also by the public at large, that Distillers, like Brewers, command an extension of business in proportion to the facilities and support which they can extend to the trade ; and this circumstan ce explains the heavy capital absorbed in successful establishments of the kind, and the peculiar fitness of such business for the employment of a Joint-stock Company's resources. The Directors have power to allot one thousand shares fully paid up. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares can be obtained from the Brokers and Solicitors, as well as at the Temporary Offices of the Company ; and from Messrs. Clench, Smith, and Co., 1, Royal Exchange-buildings, E.C. Deposits upon which no allotments are made will be re turned in full. HODGES'S DISTILLERY COMPANY (Limited).

The encampment of the administrative battalion of this county terminated on Saturday last 'with a review in the Great Park, to which the Queen's Westminster and the St. George's came from town, by special train by the South-Western Railway, to take part in the proceedings. These battalions marched through the town anddown the Long-walk, headed by their excellent bands, to the ground, where the Berks battalion had been drawn up in quarter distance column, being under the command of their gallant colonel, Col. L. Lindsey, V.C., M.P. The Queen's Westminster formed on the left of theßerk shire battalion, and the St. George's on the right. On the arrival of Major-Gen. Seymour, the inspect ing general, he was. received by a general salute. The staff was composed of Col. Colville, Capt. Sey mour, Capt. Gould of the 97th and others. After the general had taken up his position, each battalion prepared for the marching past, which was done in quarter distance and performed in a highly creditable manner, after this a portion of the St. George's re tired to the left side of the Long-walk about half-a mile distant, to represent the enemy availing them selves of the shelter of the trees for protection. The St. George's led on the attack, supported by, the Berkshire and Queen's in line. The skirmishing of the St. George's was kept u p with g reat s p irit, and after driving the enemy back about half-a-mile, and then finding themselves so strongly opposed by them, they vrere compelled in turn to retire. The Berks and Westminster commenced a withering file fire from the right of companies, and havingbeen supposed to have checked the enemy, the order was given to prepare to charge. This was a most exciting movement,when each battalion was seen advancing with fixed bayonets at the trail to meet the enemy ; on theword " Charge" being given the men came to the charge, bayonets at a steady double, cheering as they advanced and driving all before them. After this spirited move ment each battalion retired, but were soon afterwards commanded to form battalion squares to resist the enemy's supposed cavalry, and file firing was ordered from the right and left of squares, which was sus tained with great credit. After this movement the battalions formed line, and commenced volley firing, the Berkshire battalion sustaining their reputation by their perfect vollies. After this proceeding, each battalion took ground to the rear by companies, and the command was given to form company. squares, and commenced file firing. They were then drawn up in close column, and Major-General afterwards addressed the men, telling them he was happy to say he should be able to send to the Horse Guards and the War Office a very favourable account of the proceedings. The weather was beautifully fine. The time, to wards the evening, being well chosen, the magnificent spot selected, with the immense number of spectators, formed altogether a most interesting and imposing sight. The ground was kept by the 2d battalion of Coldstream Guards. At the conclusion the Guards, headed by their bands, returned to Windsor, where they had a respite previous to their return to town, which allowed them to witness the finish of Eton Regatta and display of fireworks on the Eyot from the Eton Brocas. WEST LONDON (4TH MIDDLESEX) RIFLES. This corps, whtch is under the command of Lord ~- ~~----- ~: i~ V:::;c'; ' • " Truro, ..id oGUiptl66l.l ‘,/ eigtohniMOW,'lol3ooQ. , and upholsterers, was inspected on Sataidayitenitn in Regent's Park by Colonel Ibbettson, inspector of volunteers. There were four companies present of 24 file, or 260 of all ranks, including bands. The inspector arrived on the ground, which had . previ ously been cleared by the 3d Middlesex Artillery, at eight, o'clock, and the manoeuvres commenced imme diatety. On this occasion marching past was dis pensed with, and the men were exercised in the usual movements of battalion drill, file and volley firing, skirmishing, and forming squares to receive cavalry. At the conclusion Colonel IBBErrsoN addressed the corps, which be said well deserved the title of a crack • metropolitan regiment. The corps had manceuvied,according to his instructions, and he had not discovered a single mistake. Ile observed great steadiness and attention in the ranks, and the officers thoroughly understood their drill. He was very well pleased indeed, and should have great pleasure in reporting the efficient state of the corps most favourably to the Secretary of State. Cheers were given for the gallant inspector, for Lord Truro, and for the 3d Middlesex Artillery who kept the ground, a duty which the West Lon don have promised to do for them on the 12th of August. The two corps then marched home, headed by their respective bands.

The men of the Royal Artillery were ready to give every infor mation to the volunteers, and between the officers :of the two services a complete entente cordiale has been established.... The detachments availing themselves of the pri vilege of encamping and shooting for the prizes— among which are prizes from the Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, and Lord Pal -1 merston, include the members of regiments from all parts of the country ; and among those who had taken up camp quarters were the following artillery corps :-Ist Essex, ISt Sussex, 2d Sussex, Ist A Cinque Ports, Ist B Cinque Ports, Ist C Cinque Ports, 2d Cinque Ports, 4th Cinque Ports, Ist and 12th Kent, 3d Durham, 4th West York, Ist Mid dlesek„and 2d Middlesex. The 3d Middlesex, which used to be a large corps, whatever it is now, is conspicuous only by its absence. The Menibers of the different corps began to ar rive early in the morning, and by the afternoon de- , tachments from the country began, to march Into Southend in soldierly order, with knapsacks on their backs and that regard to detail which marks the well-disciplined corps. In that, so well organised and military did the different detachments look, that not a few of the inhabitants of the town were debating among themselves what inducement in the shape of pay the volunteers had to come, for, with the customary views of some of the " nation of shopkeepers," they could not comprehend the fact that men could find pleasure and holiday in perfect- t, ing themselves in duty for their country. X r • It only remains to be said that the arrangements, which were made by Captain Rutley, the secretary, -for the comfort of the men, were all that could be -desired, and the men, encamped on a place which in respect to the amusements of the town is a wild waste, appeared joyous in anticipation of fine weather and a week's enjoyment at the seaLside in their volunteer duties.

The first-class prize, presented by Colonel Beresford, was won by Private Williams, and the chief of the series of prizes given by Mr. Doulton, M.P. for Lambeth, was won by Paymaster Collins, who was also successful in winning the first of the three prizes given by J. Johnson, Esq., the treasurer. Sergt. Provyn was very successful, for he won the non-commissioned officers' prize and several others ; and Captain Porter also won several prizes. No winner can take' more than three prizes—a very wholesome regulation. Many prizes remain to be shot for, for the list was a very long one, and, with all the excellent arrangements, darkness came on before winners could be assigned to all the prizes, several of which were presented through Quarter master Gauntlet—a most active member of the regiment. INSPECTION OF THE IOT, 19 TH, AND 231116 SURREY CORPS. On Saturday evening there were three corps in. spected in Kennington Park by Colonel Wright, the Deputy Inspector General. The regiments were under the command of Col. Labrow, the 10th mustering two companies ; the 19th six • ; and the 23rd one ; and after drilling until it was so dark that they could see no longer, a square was formed, and Col. Wright addressed them in terms expressing his great satisfaction with the general drill, but with of ew words urging the officers to take care not to allow the men to press to the right flank in marching past —a defect .which he said he had noticed in some of the companies of most corps. Colonel Labrow acknowledged the compliment, and said he could no t call for three cheers for the inspecting officer, as he k new th e gallant .r sold soldier would look upon such a proceeding as untm 'tarp. column The men then reformed and marched from the ground. ANECDOTES OF GENERAL GRANT.—When Gen. Grant was in New York, says a gossipping correspondent, some one congratulated him on his relfief from so much re sponsibility and care. Ho remarked that such excursions afforded him no relief, and that his responsibility and labour would be more for the next twelve months than they had been for the twelve months past. A friend of mine visited General Grant's father, who, with the utmost simplicity, related many striking incidents in the life of the lieutenant general. One was quite characteristic. The old gentleman visited his son out West, just after the surrender of Vicks burg. In walking round he saw the carcasses of hundreds and thousands of cattle and horses, and as a manufacturer of leather he saw before him a fine field for speculation. He went to his son and told him what he had seen, and asked him for an order to gather the skins. " And what do you think," said the old man, " Lysuss said ? Why he told me that I had better go home, and not be speculating on the battle field and compromising him with the Government." A gentleman who was present at a dinner given to General Grant by several Congressmen, says General Grant spoke but one word during the whole dinner. His Engineer, in giving an account of the pas sage of a river, spoke of it as 13 feet wide. General Grant lifted his finger and said " fourteen."—Anti - Sl aver y Standard. GENERAL GRANT'S GRAND3IO7IIER.—Died at Crofts of Tulloch, in parish of Abernethy, on the 9thinst., aged 98 years, Mrs. Catherine Macdonald o s Grant r Grant, some time at Corbeth House , near Glasgow. Mr. w ho entered the British had three sons, gallant y oun g men, army about the beginning o f the present ce ntur y —James, Alexander, and Peter. James rose from the ranks to be a commissioned officer, God h op e. his wounds many y ears ' after at the Cape of o Alexander and Peter I latterly emigrated to America, and joined the army of that ' country. peter, after having attained the rank of major, was killed in Mexico. Mrs. Grant subsequently went to America, in search of Alexander, where she remained for nine months, but got no trace of him till on the eve of re turning home, mrhon she learned that he was then in the State of Ohio, but at such a distance that it was impossible for her to get his length. Since she had not heard of him. This Alexander, a person of great muscular strength, and who stood six feet four inches high, if alive, is now seventy.. six years of age, and his brother Peter a year or two younger( It is surmised by many of the clan whether either of these two brothers may not be the father of General Grant of • the American army. Deceased herself to the last cherishes the pleasing although perhaps erroneous impression that General Grant was her grandson. She was born at Tors pardon, in Inverallan. Mrs. Grant was chargeable to no body, she having had sufficient means of her own for hog pubsititence.—Elgin Courier.
