This Company is formed for the purchase of thirteen Valuable estates already in profitable cultivation, situated in the Province of Assam, in British India, and for the purp :se of further developing and extending their operations. The property consists of 12,000 acres of freehold land, held direct from Government, of which 2,182 acres are planted With tea plants of the following ages—namely, 440 acres, 3 Years old ; 902 acres, 2 years old; 440 acres, 1 year old ; and 4 00 acres, just planted. The soil and c imate of this locality are second to none in the province, as the following extract from the m nager's report to the directors of the Bishnath Tea Company, a neigh pouring concern, for the season ending 3!st December, 156 i, and submitted by them to the shareholders, will show : " The out-turn of tea and seed has been unpre'edented in Assam. The plantation in its fourth year has given an ave rage of 390 lbs., and the two year old gardens of 240 lbs. of tea to the acre ; and this has been obtained at no sacrifice to the prospects of future years, but with careful and light plucking, as is evinced by the present healthy appearance of the plants, which, I have often been assurel , are, in size and Vigour, unsurpassed by any plantation of the age in Assam." The dividends paid by the Assam , the Upper Assam, the Jorehaut, leishnieth, and b y several 'of the other tea om panies In Assam, vary from 20 to 30 percent and their shares are at a premium of 100 to 200 per cent. The factories have the advantage of being traversed by good roads and navigable revers, an d steamers p'y between Assam and Calcutta, affording great 1 acilitks for the sup ply of labour and for the other requirements of th e estates. Not less than 8,003 acres c m be brought into profitable cultiva tion; and each acre, when in full bearing, is capable of pro ducing at least 400 lbs. of tea. The plantations are calculated to proluce, during the first i year of the Company's operations (1861-65), returns sufficient to yield 10 per cent. on the paid-up cap!tal ; and the vendors guarantee a minimum dividend at the rate of 10 per cent., payable half yearly, upon the paid-up capital for three years, to be calcu ated from the date of the registration of the Corn- Patty. At the expiration of the three years the pla nts e will De su ffi ciently advanced to give progressively larg divi dends, until the whole have attained maturity and yield a maximum return. The price to be paid for the property 10 £i63,000, payable bay annual instalments, with interest, at 5 per cent., extend ing over a period of six years. These terms the directors consider to be most advantage ous, as, while they show the confidence of the vendors in the value of the pronerty, the easy instalments as to payments will enable the young plants to grow up into full bearing , and to yi e ld l arge returns b efore th e grea t er p ar t of the capi tal is called up. The undertaking originates with the Directors and their iriends. ireeuy No promoti on - mone y will be paid to any one, ,ei ther or indirectly, and the preliminary expenses will ba strictly confined to such as are absolutely necessary: all he vendors stipulate that 6,000 of the shares are to be alr ried to the m ; 6 , 000 o f th e rema i n ing shares have been publ'ilY subscribed for, leaving 6,000 shares avallab e for the I'4I7ICITLATZS OF THE ESTATES OF THE NOW ]. 7. / 1 . 1.1iNf,"1 E COMPANY OF ASSAM (Limited). -- BORKONDO LEE DIVISION Consists of the factories of Borkondolee, Loonzpoong, -okee, Topotjeoree, and Rembeng. all in the Nowgong District, on the banks of the rivers Knitting and Nonoye, d along the grand trunk road from Voboka to Nowgong i ng in distance from the station from Bto 10 miles.

Internatlonl al Reformatory Exhibition Under the direction of the committee of the Reforma tory and Refuge Union several exhibitions of industrial work have been held in London. The first of these was' in 1856, and was honoured by the presence of the late Princo Consort and a large number of the nobility and gentry, and others interested in the subject. The work thus exhi bited was from institutions for different classes of inmates, such as juvenile delinquents,' vagrants and destitute chil dren, outcast and friendless females, and homeless poor. It has now been resolved to hold an, international reformatory . . exhibition, and, to invite the managers of the institutions in all parts of the world, to send for exhibition, and where desired, for sale,. specimens of the industrial work of their inmates. It is not designed to have elaborate articles, made for the purpose of exhibiting, but to shoW specimens of povrnsaord;juce various kinds as l ds t a i ff s oof i l m .dai p rtn o ig s c s lse Z n e wethoi givedea a a the re s m c o u a m e d h p e l a n e s t ea theserlei s t n n i s a l t l i i i t t l t h y d e i i following are named among those which have been sent to former exhibitions. The list will show to managers the comprehensive character of the exhibition, and they will understand that all articles made in the institutions by the inmates may be sent for exhibition:—Woollen and other clothing and boys' caps ; boots and shoes, clogs, and wooden shoes ; brooins and brushes of all kinds, and blacking ; articles of furniture, and cabinet making generally ;- car penters', turners', and wheelwrights' work, and wood chop ping ; printing, plain and ornamental, and bookbinding ; mats and sacks ; paper bags, envelOpes, and card boxes ; models, toys, and games ; brickmaking, articles in iron, coopers work, agricultural produce, articles made of straw (bonnets, baskets, fancy goods, &c), spinning, weaving, knitting and netting, lace, embroidery, and plain and fancy needlework of every description. Every article exhibited is to contain bona,fide the work of one or more of the inmates performed, of course, under the superintendence of the trade master or,piber teacher. _Where the article-exhibited haz only been partially executed by the inmates, the treasurer or other chief official is required to certify what portion of the work was done by them. All articles exhibited may be for sale, and the price should be clearly marked. Institu tions in England will have facilities afforded them for the attendance of responsible perions in charge of the goods. The same. facilities will be afforded to institutions from abroad, where they have friends or correspondents in Lon don to whom they will consign their goods, and who will consent to take charge of them ; where this cannot be ar ranged, the committee will undertake the responsibility, provided a list of the articles be sent with their price or value. In addition to the display of articles already manu factured, and more fully to carry out a feature which in former exhibitions excited considerable interest, ample space will be provided for inmates of institutions to carry on their trades and occupations in the exhibition, so as to show to visitors how they work, as well as what they make., A prize medal will be specially struck for this exhibition. It will be awarded for excellence only, without reference to the country where the institution is situated, or to the descrip tion of articles. Merit will thus be rewarded without com petition. Accompanying the medal will be an ornamental card, stating.the grounds on which the award is made. A committees of jurors will be appointed to award the medals, so composed as to ensure the . Confidence of the English and foreign managers. All articles from abroad for the exhibi tion must be deliVered in London carriage free, but the com mittee will undertake, if desired, to defray the cost of such as may not be sold at the close of the exhibition. The description of goods likely to be forwarded to the exhibition are not chargeable with duty, so far as is known, and no special arrangements have therefore been necessary on this point. The exhibition will be held in the Agricultural Hall, Is lington, the largest building in London available for public exhibitions. The exact day for the opening of the exhibi tion has not yet been fixed, but it will be about the second week in May. It is intended to open the exhibition with a public ceremony ; the particulars of which, with the prices of admission and other details, will be hereafter an nounced. One feature of the ceremony will be the singing of a choir of 1,000 children from various institutions. In commemoration of the exhibition it is designed to issue a small volume, giving both a description of the exhibition and its contents, and also a brief account of the various in stitutions at home and abroad represented on the occasion. To assist in the compilation, all institutions proposing to take part in the exhibition are requested to send their last published report and such other papers as may be useful for the purpose. Institutions intending to exhibit are re quested to make application immediately to the seCrotary; Reformatory and Refuge Union, 26, Suffolk-street, Pall mall East, stating---1. The description of articles to be exhibited. 2. The amount of frontage they will require, reckoning at 3ft. deep.

The second was a passport'delivered to Don Claudio Fontenal las by the Spanish Consul at Rosario de Santa-Fe ; the thitd was a commission of sub-lieutenant of artillery, dated Buenos Ayres, July 22, 1858 ; and the'fourth was the mus ter roll of the men under his orders in a -ship which he had commanded. These four documents, of such vital import ance for the accused, were left in the possession of the exa mining magistrate, who when the case was tried asserted that he had lost them. During the trial a great number of witnesses were examined, but their evidence was contra dictory, some declaring that the prisoner was really Don Claudio Fontenallas, others as positively maintaining that he was the tailor's son. The prisoner •himself explained the manner of his capture, how one day he had escaped from the brigands while they were intoxicated, and made his way to Barcelona. He did not go home because, as his father had refused to pay the ransom, he 'concluded that the brigands had acted by his orders ; but what could be his father's motives for giving such orders he did not know. He therefore went to America and remainedthere till 1861. When several old servants of the deceased marquis were examined, the prisoner reminded them • of many circum stances which could hardly be known to any except the real Don Claudio ; but the Marquise de Villamediana, though she had at first recognised the prisoner as her brother, afterwards declared herself convinced of the contrary, as` she had found him un acquainted with many facts which her brother must have known. The result of the trial was that the tribunal, which consisted of only ono judge, declared that the priso ner was the son of Felin, and condemned him to 12 years' hard labour. The tribunal also ordered that 20 of the pri soner's witnesses should be prosecuted for perjury. The prisoner's counsel, M. Niviera, complained that the defence had not'been free, that the judge had refused to hear seve ral of his witnesses, and also that his demand fill- fury inquiry in the Argentine Republic had . linen rejected; and cooelude4l with prokesting against thqln 3 W l, 4n whicia 01 , 0 preVibus examinations and the trial had been condUcted. In consequence of these observations thejudge committed him to prison for contempt of court. The conviction was so general at Barcelona that the prisoner had been unfairly treated, that a subscription was opened in his favour which produced a sum of 40,000 fr. Part of this sum was applied to relieve the prisoner's immediate necessities, and the rest was offered to M. Caso, a celebrated advocate of Madrid, to conduct the appeal against the above judgment. After long delays the appeal was made, and a telegraphic despatch states that the Supreme Court of Barcelona has given its decision, substantially confirming the judgment, but re ducing the sentence of hard labour from 12 years to two. The prisoner's counsel was reprimanded by the court, and 13 witnesses were declared guilty of perjury.—Galignuni. GREAT NORTHERN AND WEST YORKSHIRE. A preliminary arrangement lids been entered into between the directors of the Great Northern and West Yorkshire Railway Companies for the amalgamation of the two un dertakings, though the terms have not yet been stbmitted to the shareholders. ROMANTIC TRIAL The Supreme Tribunal of Barcelona, in Spain, has been for some time past engaged in hearing a trial from a judg ment given by an inferior court of that district in July, 1861, relative to the identity of a young man who claimed to be the son of a wealthy banker of Barcelona, dead some years ago. The circumstances of this strange affair may be briefly stated as follow :—The Marquis Don Francisco de Cara-Fontenallas, a partner in the well-known banking firm of Lamberto y Fontenallas, had two sons, Don Lam berto and Don Claudio, and ono daughter, Donna Eulalia, married to the Marquis of Villamediana, residing on his extensive estates in the neighbourhood of Madrid. In September, 1845, the younger son, Don Claudio, then 23 years of age, suddenly disappeared, and all efforts to find him proved fruitless. It was afterwards ascer tained that ho had been seized by. the brigands, who carried him off to the mountains. Some days later, how ever, two or three letters:vvere addressed to the Marquis . • ,_ by his son, stating that he was in the power of brigands, who refused to release him until a ransom of 1,000 ounces of gold should be paid. Perhaps the Marquis did not be lieve in the reality of this capture, and regarded it merely -1 as an expedient adopted by his son to obtain a large sum of money. At all events, he did not send the gold demanded, and from that time nothing was heard of Don Claudio til May, 1860. Meanwhile, the Marquis made a will, dated May, 1850, in which he expressed his wish that his property should not be divided between Don Lamberto and Donna Eulalia until his lost son had been found, or his death satisfactorily proved. When the marquis died some time after, Don Lamberto succeeded to the title, and at once divided his father's property between himself and his sister, the Marchioness de Villamediana. This prompt division of the property caused some scandal at the time, as the pro visions of the will were generally known, but it was soon forgotten. In 1852, however, a man named Gomez, who had been arrested for robbery, gave the police a full account of the abduction of Don Claudio by the brigands, and the authorities determined on making a further investigation, when it was found that all the documents relating to the circumstances had disappeared, with the exception of Don Claudio's two letters written while in the power of the brigands, which the deceased marquis had given to a police magistrate in 1850. The investigation, therefore, led to nothing ; but nine years later, in 1861, Don Lamberto, the new marquis, received a letter, dated May 15, and signed " Your brother, Don Claudio," stating that the writer had just arrived at Barcelona by the steamer Puerto-Rico from Charlestown. Don Lamberto immediately sent an old clerk of the bank, named Don Francesco Juan Marti, to meet his brother. As soon as Marti set foot on the deck, he was accosted by Don Claudio, who called him by his name and shed tears of joy on meeting him. They went together to the Marquis Don Lamberto, who appeared to gladly recognise the young man as his brother Claudio, and instantly sent off a telegraphic despatch to his sister, the Marchioness of Villamediana, announcing the re turn of their brother. On the following day Don Lam berto informed the Governor of Barcelona of his brother's arrival, and also formally acknowledged him as his brother in presence of a magistrate. Not the least doubt was en tertained by anybody that the new comer was really Don Claudio, and ho continued to be entertained by his brother as such till the 23d May ; but at 2 o'clock in the morning of that day he was arrested by the police in his brother's house, on the charge of being an impostor. This arrest was afterwards ascertained to have been made at the in stance of the Marquis and Marchioness of Villamediana. Don Claudio was so overcome by this terrible accusation that ho was instantly seized with a violent fever, and begged to have a glass of water, which was brought by one of the Marquis's servants. He had no sooner drunk it than he exclaimed that ho was poisoned. Ile was, nevertheless, carried off to prison, where antidotes where administered, and he recovered, after three weeks' illness, but still re mained in the prison infirmary in a very weak state. While he lay there a tailor and his wife, named Felin, were brought to see him, and they declared the supposed Don Claudio to be their son Claudio, who had gone to Buenos Ayres in 1857, being then only 20 years of age ; their son and daughter also recognised him as their brother. All four gave evidence on oath to this effect. Two other per sons, however—Don Claudio's nurse and foster-brother — declared that he was really Don Claudio. In his defence before the examining magistrate, D on Claudio produced four documents in which he was styled Don Claudio Fothn tenallas : the first was his commission as ensign id d n tha e t army of Buenos Ayres, dated Ap ril, 1857, whi c h prove he'could not be Claudio Fe lin, as the latter sailed from Barcelona to Buenos Ayres late in February in that year, The North American Confederation, lIAIR-CURLING FLUID, 248, High Holborn, London.—A.LEX.

The following is the text of the despatch from Mr. Cardwell to Lord Monk, relative to the proposed confederation - of the North American provinces : " Downivp.stvet, Dec. 3, 1864. " My - Lord,---Her Ajestiti-Government have received with the most, cordial satisfaction your lordship's despatch of the '7th ultimo, transmitting for their consideration the resolutions adopted by the representatives of the several provinces of British North America, which were assembled at Quebec. With the sanction of the crown, and upon the invi tation of the Governor-General, men of every pro vince, chosen by the respective lieutenant governors, without distinction of party, assembled to consider questions of the utmost interest to every subject of the Queen, •of whatever race or faith, resident in those provinces, and have arrived at a conclusion destined to exercise a most important influence upon the future welfare of the whole community. Ani mated by the warmest sentiments of loyalty and de votion to their sovereign—earnestly desirous to secure for their poiterity throughout all future time the advantages which they enjoy as subjects of the British crown—steadfastly attached to the institutions under which they live, they have conducted their delibera tions with patient sagacity, and have arrived at unanimous conclusions on questions involving many difficulties, and calculated, under less favourable auspices, to have given rise to many differences of opinion. SO& an event is in the highest degree honourable to those who have taken part in these deliberations. It must inspire confidence in the men by whose judgment and temper this result has been attained, and will ever remain on record as an evidence of the salutary influence exercised by the institutions under which these qualities have been so signally developed. Her Majesty's Government have given to your despatch, and to the resolutions of the Conference, their most deliberate consideration. They have regarded them as a whole, and as having been designed by those who have framed them to establish as complete and perfect an union of the whole into one government as the circumstances of the. case and a due consideration of existing interests would admit. They accept them, therefore, as being, in the-deliberate-judgment of those best qualified to decide upon the subject, the best framework of a measure to be passed by the Imperial Parliament for attaining that most desirable result. The point of principal importance to the practical well-working of the scheme is the accurate determination of the limits between the authority of the central and that of the local Legislatures, in their relation to each other. It has not been possible to exclude from the resolutions some provisions which appear to be less consistent than might, perhaps, have been desired with the simplicity and unity of the system. But, upon thf whole, it appears to her MajcstL's Go vernnieA that: .precattftemligYillMar l iatt i ii , which are obviously intended to secure to the central government the means of effec tive action throughout the several provinces, and to guard against those evils which must inevitably arise if any doubt were permitted to exist as to the respective limits of central and local authority. They are glad to observe that, although large powers of legislation are intended to be vested in local bodies, yet the principle of central control has been steadily-kept in view. The importance of this principle cannot be overrated. Its maintenance is essential to the practical efficiency of the system, and to its harmonious operation both in the general administration and in the governments of the several a provinces. A very i m p or t an t part of this subject is the central expensen d local whigchovemrnamy governments, H th e e r w m o aj rk e in st, g y o s f G th o e . vernment cannot but express the earnest hope that the arrangements which may be adopted in this respect may not be of such a nature as to increase, at least in any considerable degree, the whole ex penditure, or to make any material addition to the taxation, and thereby retard the internal industry, or tend to impose new burdens on the commerce of the country. Her Majesty's Government are anxious to lose no time in conveying to you their general approval of the proceedings of the Conference. There are, however, two provisions of great import ance which seem to require revision. The first of these is the provision contained in the 44th resolu tion with respect to the exercise of the prerogative of pardon. It appears to her Majesty's Govern ment that this duty belongs to the representative of the Sovereign, and could n ot with propriety be in devolved upon the lieutenant- g overnors, who will under the scheme be appoted, not directly by the Crown, but by the central government of the united provinces. The second point which her Majesty's Government desire should be re-con sidered is the constitution of the Legislative Coun cil. They appreciate the considerations which have influenced the Conference in determining the mode in which this body, so important to the con stitution of the legislature, should be composed. But it appears to them to require further conside ration whether, if the members be appointed for life and their number be fixed, there will be any sail , cient means of restoring harmony between the Legislative Council and the popular assembly, if it shall ever unfortunately happen that a decided difference of opinion shall arise between them. These two points, relating to the prerogative of the crown and to the constitution of the Upper Cham ber, have appeared to require distinct and separate notice. Questions of minor consequence and mat ters of detailed arrangement may properly be re served for a future time, when the provisions of the bill intended to be submitted to the Imperial Par liament shall come under consideration. Her Majesty's Government anticipate no serious diffi culty in this part of the case, since the resolutions will generally be found sufficiently explicit to guide those who will be entrusted with the preparation of the bill. It appears to them, therefore, that you should now take immediate measures, in concert the lieutenant-governors of the several provinces, for submitting to the respective legislatures this project of the. conference ; and if, as I hope, you are able to report' that these legislatures sanction and adopt the .scheme, her Majesty's Government will render you all the assistance in their power for carrying it into effect. It will probably be found to be the most convenient course that, in concert with lieutenant-governors, you should select a deputa tion of the best persons qualified to proceed to this country, that they may be present during the pre paration of the bill, and to give to her Majesty's Government the benefit of their counsel upon any questions which may arise during the passage of the measure through the two Houses of Parliament.— .

It appears that the receipts for traffic on railways in the United Kingdom for the year 1864 amount to 33,182,4901., and for the year 1863 to 30,490,6601., showing an increase of 2,683,8301, or about double the average increase per an num. The aggregate length of the railways over which the traffic was carried was 12,582 miles, against 11,904 miles in 1863, showing an increase of 678 miles. The traffic receipts per mile averaged 2,6461., against 2,5621. in 1863 ; the working expenses were 47 per cent. of the receipts, against 48 per cent. in 1863.

So that the net return on the working of all or nearly all the railways in 1864 was equivalent to 41- per cent. on the total capital ex pended. This is the largest average return on the capital expended since 1847, when the rate averaged 4.69 or near 41 per cent. In the interval the lowest average reached was in 1850, when it touched 3.31 per cent. ; it gradually rose to 4 per cent. in 1856, and from thence, with some fluc tuations, increased to 41 per cent. in 1864. The amount of capital expended to the middle of 1847 was 114,728,0001., to 1850 230,522,7001., to 1856 298,946,2601., and to the middle of last year 391,396,680/. — so that from 1847 to 1864, a period of 17 years, [the large amount of 284,218,2601. was expended on those railways, being an average outlay of 16,719,0001. per annum. The traffic receipts in 1847 amounted to 9,278,000/. ; in 1850 to 13,000,0001.; in 1856 to 23,000,0001.; and in 1864 to 33,182,000/. Considering the magnitude of the outlay and other circumstances, the fluctuations on the average rate of dividend were not great.

Dickius, chairman, two, journeymen briokmakers, named John Stone and Edward Gregory, were indict {l for having, at Acton, on the 21st of August last, feloniously killed three horses the property. of Messrs.. Lewis. The prisoners were also indicted for maliciously stabbing four other horses, the property of the prosecutors. The case was one of peculiar atrocity, and almost unparalleled in the annals of crime in the Midland Counties. The prisoners, both young men, were active members of the Operative Brickmakers' Association, and the prosecutors, Messrs.. Lewis, who are brick manufacturers atthe Lozells, asuburb of Birmingham, were members of the Master Brickmakers' Association. In consequence of differences that had taken place Messrs. Lewis decided to employ no workmen_ in their brickyards who belonged to the trade union, and this evoked very bitter feelings on ` the part of the men ' towards the prosecutors. The outrage, the subject of y ftheT g n g oriZ 'e Z i a °3 s 'e h d or b t j- tit ~ prosecution, was committed on the 21st of August inu sa totwo N t v rs 7W :k o nel men go out of the stable and run last; at which time a man named Murphy,_ in the employ s a w '; fight in 1/ master's stable, direction of Wheeler -street. He subsequently jafafilf:owfurmitiatryhdtwhehinatinehrpdsketrdhiodinedhsoogeecrs of the stable locked, but the loft window was open. Murphy procured assistance and a light, and examined the stables. In the three-stall stable one of the horses was lying on the floor quite dead, having been stabbed in the chest, and another died in a short time from similar injuries. Murphy next went into the other stable, where there were four horses. One of them, a valuable entire horse, was dead, having, like the other, been stabbed in the bosom. The whole of the horses, seven in number, had been wounded in this way, but the majority of them sub sequently recovered. Some two or three months afterwards the prisoners were apprehended, and committed for trial at the late Winter Assizes, when, owing to the absence of a material witness, the bill was ignored by the grand jury. The evidence, though purely circumstantial, was now ma terially strengthened. Asregards Gregory, a witness named. M'Kenzie, who lodged with him, proved that Gregory left home between 5 and 6 o'clock on the night in question, and did not return until between 5 and 6 on the following morning, when a number of spots of blood were found on his trousers. Gregory and Stone were drinking together at a publichouse some two miles from the stables between 7 and 8 o'clock, but at 9, when a row and fight took place there it was observed the prisoners were. not there. The witness MlKenzie identified a billycock hat, having ti.pecu 7 liar band upon it, which had been found in one of the pro secutors' stables as :the hat usually worn by the prisoner Stone, and the latter, it was shown, was seen carefully wiping his boots the morning after the outrage, and dressed in different kind of clothes to those he usually, wore. As a reason why he had withheld his testimony, this witness stated that he was afraid if he disclosed what he knew of the affair he should be killed by the union men, some of whom had threatened him, and had since been placed under recognisances by the magistrates to keep the peace. Other corroborative points were also adduced tending to fix the crime upon the prisoners, who were both found guilty-on the first indictment. In passing sentence, the learned chairman said the outrage of which they had been convicted was one of the most aggravated character, both with re spect to the injury done to the prosecutors and as an offence against society at large. If trade associations were to lead to such outrages they were anything but a benefit —they wera a curse to. the country at large. There was no doubt whatever that the diabolical outrage of which they had been found guilty had arisen out of the association to which they belonged. He understood that Messrs. Lewis had been injured to the extent of 2001., and that another gentleman in the brick trade had a valuable horse destroyed which was worth 500 guineas. The Court was bound to protect society to the utmost of its power, and therefore it was his duty to pass the heaviest sentence upon them tint the law awarded for the offence of which they hail been convicted. He then sentenced the prisoners each to 1.4 years' penal servitude. Death in the Snow, On Sunday morning a sad tragedy was (liseovcrd to have happened on the hill of Drunimouehter, near Calvine, not four miles from Blair Athole. A party of travelling tinkers—John M'Kenzie, Catherine Cameron, his reputed wife, and Duncan Cameron, her brother—had been stay ing in the neighbourhood for a day or two, and they passed V;iday night in the Strowan wood, near Blair. They had resolved to start for Inverness-shire;oUSaturday morning, going over the hills instead of by the road, and with this view they began refreshing themselves by drinking two gills of whisky at inns a few miles from each other. They left the Bruar Inn about one o'clock in the afternoon, tak- ing with them a bottle of whisky. They were next seen going northwards by the farm-manager at Calvine, and then seemed quite hearty, the woman appearing the best traveller of the three. This was about two o'clock, and shortly after they met another tinker, named Alexander Stuart. It would seem that this meeting was considered a favourable opportunity for attacking the whisky bottle, as Stuart states that it was then produced and emptied. He was afterwards sent to Strowan Inn for another two shillings' worth of whiskey, and returned to the party with it about five o'clock, giving the bottle to the woman. Her brother, Duncan Cameron, had left for Calvine, in order to get shelter, as the night was coming on wild, and with every appearance of a heavy snow storm, but IPlienzie and his wife seemed determined to brave it out on the hill side. They-seem to have quickly fallen asleep, as did Stuart ; but he woke up about seven o'clock, and could hardly move with the cold, a wreath of snow having accumulated at his head. He states that he then tried to rouse the others, but failed, and, in order to save his own life, he almost crept along to Calvine, where he found Cameron, and got food and shelter, but said nothing about the two persons he had left. About midnight 3/Plien zie himself woke up, quite stiff. He says he did all he could to wake his wife, but without effect. Unable to walk for some time, he got along on his hands and:knees a good bit, and ultimately made hisway to a byre at Calvine, where he lay beside a cow till morning. Then he told his story, and getting some food for his wife, he and Stuart proceeded in search of hex. They found the poor woman quite dead and stiff, a good distance from the place where she was last seen. It would appear she had also awakened, and found herself helpless with the cold, but had made desperate efforts to reach some place of safety. The marks among the snow showed that she had dragged herself along slowly for a bit, and then falling among stones, had rolled down the hill near to the side of the river Garry, at a few yards from which _ her dead body was found. Poor woman ! though love y fe 7 r years of age, she had perished partly through herr e. strong drink, for Stuart states that she was a fraid f herand husband getting any of the last two shilling:ith worth, the view that 319ien.zie did contrive to take a e drop, k. It was evi of not allowing his wife to become to to " keep out tho dent, however, that she needed somethin g tand most meagre cold," for her clothing poorest this season ofth was of the description. Will it bo believed that year a woman was attempting a journey over the hills fret: Perthshire to Inverness -shim, clad only in a loos e t orn skirt of an old gown, an o ld shawl, and some rags a b out the waist ? Her person, indeed, was not entirely covered, ;an d when the wind The dashed the shawl aside, the breast wag exposed quite . poor creature had no stockings, and the old boots she wore scarcely protected her feet front t h e ground --certainly not from the snow. When the facts became known in the district a goo d d eal of excitement was ca oed. The body was removed to the church at Strewau a bout noon on Sabbath, and was buried in the churchyard by the parish authorities on Monday. It might be thought, from WlCenzie's conduct before her death, that he- cared but little for his wife; but his subsequent demeanour, un less he is a capital actor, gave tokens of there having existed a very strong affection between them.—Dwuke Advertiser. EXECUTION OF THE CONVICT BROWN.—Henry Brown, who, with Thomas Lindon (since respited), was convicted at the last Liverpool assizes of the murder of a man named 11Carthy, whom he had killed by gouging out his eye with a pistol, was executed this morning at Kirkdale.
