41.. , ......... New and Variable Stars. At the last week's sitting of the Academy of Sciences, France, M. Faye spoke at some length on the question of new stars and variable ones. After adverting to the rarity of the former, and stating that Mr. Birmingham in Ireland was the first to perceive, on the 12th May last, the star which appeared in Corona, and which is not a new one, but merely No. 2,765 of Argelmnder's catalogue, and which, being only of the ninth magnitude and hence invisible to the naked eye, suddenly burst forth on that date with considerable splendour. M. Faye states that it attained its maximum brilliancy almost immediately, and that it has now gradually dwindled down again to its original size. M. Faye holds the opinion that the stars hitherto mentioned a_new are merely old ones which suddenly increase la brightness owing to some (volcanic ?) convulsion. We beg to illustrate this to our readers by an ex ample. Most geo l og i sts imagine (erroneously, we believe) our earth to be a hollow shell enclosing, a vast quantity of mineral matter in a state of igneous fusion, the shell itself being nothing but the cooled crust formed on the surface of this fiery liquid. This crust occasionally cracks at some place or other, and some of the liquid (lava) issues forth, as in the case of volcanoes, - which, by the partisans of this view of the case, are considered as a strong argument in favour. Let us now suppose the shell of our earth suddenly to burg in conse quence of the violent action of the igneous matter, which would then rush out and cover nearly the whole surface. To an observer situated ou some other celestial body our earth in its ordinary state would either not be visible at all or scarcely so ; but this convulsion we have described would at once bring it conspicuously into view by the glare of the fiery fluid. But the latter would gra dually cool down in course of time like a red hot iron, which ultimately becomes black, and so, to our observer, the earth would soon relapse into its former lustreless state. This is the explanation given of stars that suddenly appear and then fade away. Returning to M. Faye, he proceeded to adduce several arguments in favour of his own view, which is that variable stars, and those which are called new, belong to one and the same class of phenomena. From 1596 to 1800 not more than 12 or 13 variable stars were observed; but since then the heavens have been subjected to such a searching and unremitting exploration that since 1864 nearly a hundred of them have been ob served. The same is the case with new stars, three of which have been observed since 1848, while hardly 20 are mentioned in history pre vious to that time. M. Faye rejects the various explanations attempted by the earlier astrono mers, simply on the ground that, as Schwabe has shown, the sun itself is but a variable star, the period of which is eleven years, and the variations of whose brilliancy are owing to the Spas which appear on its surface ; such, he conceives, must also be the cause of the variations of brilliancy which are the characteristic of variable stars. The case of new ones is the same. Formerly only such stars were known as seen with the naked eye ; now we have catalogued upwards of 300,000 stars, and our chances are much greater of finding in our cata logues some small star that may suddenly blaze forth in unwonted l us t re . Th u s, Jansen's star, which appeared in 1600 as a star of the third mag nitude, disappear e d in 1621, and reappeared in 1665, 1 . 8 now definitively catalogued as P Cygni, accord ing to Argehender. M. Faye promises to continue the subject on a future occasion. ONEy MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGE 'ICE. OCLOCK. The Di rectors of the Bank of TWELVE England ' have jllBl held their weekly court, and h av e not made any alteration in the minimum rate for discount accom _hiodation. S ome of the speculators at the Stock •I':.xchange contrived at e yesterday afternoon to circu 1, a report th at a deputation from the joint-stock ba nks would wa i t upon the Chancellor of the Ex ?hequer, urging upon him the necessity for allow ing a reduction from 10 per cent. to be made by the Bank of England, and the continuance of the Government letter intact. The rumour had the desi red effect of causing a recovery in Consols, but It is ne e dl ess to state that there was no foundation for it. The Position of the B an k is too weak to admit of any reduction in the charge for nego ciating bills ; and there is no doubt that while the Present high value of money is burdensome to the maiority of th e commercial community its opera tionh tio n has been b enef i cial by excluding from circula a large amount of comparatively valueless paper. e demand f or assistance to-day continues rather active, and 9 and 10 per cent are the lowest quotations in the open market. The official Liquidator of the Bank of London has issued n notice announcing a first dividend of O s. B d. in the pound, which it is thought will be paid on the 27th and 28th inst. A. telegram has been received from the general man ager of th e P anama, New Zealand, and Aus tralian Royal Company, relative to the Panama route to New Zealand and Australia, stating that the second vessel for Panama, the Ruahine, was to Sai l from Sydney on the 15th, and from Wellington °II the 24th July, the mails by which will be due at South ampton the 13th September; and th a t th e colonial authorities had finally decided to adopt the dates named in the printed time tables, in order that the mails may arrive in this country at the end o f the month, instead of coincidently with those via Suez, as will be the case during the first two months. Gold to the amount of £15,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday, and 170,000 sovereigns Were withdrawn for shipment to Brazil. The Land Securities Company have issued a re port to be presented to the shareholders on the 15th instant. The document states that there is an avail able balance of only £5OB, in consequence of the high rates of discount, which have prevented the issue of the mortgage debentures, upon which the business of the company mainly depends. A pro position has been made for taking over the business of the Lands Improvement C;Anpany. A. deputation of Venezuelan bondholders, con sisting of Mr. Thome, - d Baring, M.P., and the mem bers of the ComiLlittee, had an interview with Lord Stanley at f .'ne Foreign-office, on Monday last, and • were 'gratified to receive from his lordship the as kltrance of his sympathy with the bondholders, and of his wish to use his influence to bring to a satis factory issue the negotiations now pending between the British and Venezuelan Governments respecting the rights of the British bondholders. His lordship expressed the opinion that the re-establishment of • the credit of Venezuela would be highly beneficial, to her own interests, and would tend to increase our commercial relations with that country.

Rather lineaai neBB: The various department of the Stock-Exchange are still depressed by the unusual limitation of 'busi ness, speculative as well as on investing account. The high rates of discount, over which the Govern ment have little control, is not an element in the discussion upon the existing dullness, because con fidence is reposed in the present administration. There can be no doubt that the unsettled weather is producing an unfavourable effect upon the tendency of values. Consols are 871 4 for transfer, and 881 1 for September, showing a decline of k per cent, compared with the latest prices yesterday afternoon. The settlement is expected to be satisfactorily con cluded, but the rate of ".continuation" is as high as 1 per cent, owing to the present condition of the money market.

On Thursday last the prosecutrix, Miss M. E. Bailey, of Bolton, was driveu in a cab to the Oxford-road station, whence AO had to proceed to Brooklands, near Altringliam, She requested the cabman to carry her trunk to the platform, and soon afterwards she loft by train, be hoving that the trunk would be forwarded at the same time. When she had completed her journey the prose cutrix could not learn anything of her property. On the everting of the same day an assistant to Mr. Barlow, draper, Oxford-road, found the trunk in an ashpit at the rear of Mr. Barlow's premises. The discovery was com municated to the police, and it was resolved that the trunk should be replaced and the ashpit kept under sur veillance. About 9 o'clock on the following morning the prisoner entered the passage behind Mr. Barlow's house, jumped into the ashpit, opened the trunk, and took out a dress. As he was leaving, the constable, who was watching, asked him why he had come thither, to which he replied that he was in search of old bottles, The con stable then took him into custody, and reference having been made to the trunk, the prisoner raid that two men engaged him to carry it from Oxford-road station, and that after dismissing him at the entrance to the passage already mentioned, they put it in the ashpit. Mr. Walker said he should remand the prisoner fcr a week, in order that he might learn whether any reformatory would re ceive him without his going to the sessions. k It is said that a single message was transmitted by the Atlantic Telegrasph on Tuesday, the cost of which was £BOO. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9,186 G. The Great Stamp Robbery at Manchester. - BOW-STREET—(THIS DAY). Charles Batt, who stands charged on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery of £12,000 worth of stamps from the office of the Hon. Henry Howard, distributor of stamps for Manchester, was this morning again placed be fore Sir T. Henry for further examination. It will be recollected that the prisoner was given into custody on the occasion of his attending before Mr. R. P. Walker, the examiner of spoilt stamps, at Somerset House, on the 12th July last, to obtain the return of £1 upon a spoilt stamp for that amount, which had the appearance of being wilfully damaged, and which on close observation was found to be of the same class of stamps recently issued to the distributor at Manchester, and of which he had been robbed. The only witness examined this morning was Mr. William Drewitt, of 55, High-street, Marylobone, who sai 1— On the 17th of May last I obtained two £1 inland bill stamps from the head-office, Somerset-:house. The stamp now placed b3fora me is not one of them. Mr. Jacobs.—l now intend to call Inspector Potter to prove that the description given by himself in the affidavit at the Stamp Office in London was untrue. Inspector Potter said—The description given by the prisoner was ft lse when he attended at the Stamp-office. I have known him for 13 years. Mr. Wontuer, who appeared for the prisoner, objected to the inspector giving evidence as to the prisoner's ante cedents. Sir T. Henry—Except for the purpose of proving that he name was false. Mr. Woutner—Yes. He could not give evidence of any former conviction. Sir T. Henry—Yes, he can. He might be indicted for this robbery having been previously convicted. Mr. Wontner—But that would be kept back until he had been indicted for the simple offence. Sir T. Henry—The judge is entitled to know it, and the clerk of the arraigns must know it in order to prove the indictment. Inspector Potter's evidence was then continued—The prisoner's right name is Charles Martin. I have known him go by the name of Charles Roberts and Charles Angel. I was'present at the Old Bailey on the 17th of August, 1863, when the prisoner was sentenced to three years' penal servitude for stealing from a dwelling-house. It was a jewel robbery of between £4OO and £5OO. I gave evidence against the prisoner on that occasion. His time on that sentence will not be up until the 13th of this month. _ _ _ _ Sir T. Henry—ls he the holder of a ticket-of-leave at this present moment ? Inspector Potter—He is. Mr. Jacobs—That is all the evidence I have to offer, Sir Thomas, and upon it I ask you to send the prisoner to Manchester for trial. Mr. Wontuer trusted that as there had already been three remands for the prosecution he would not be refused one for the prisoner. He was instructed to ask the post ponement of the committal for a few days, because in that time he believed he should be in a position to prove an alibi of so complete a character that the evidence of Allan would fall to the ground. He should also he was informed be able to show that the prisoner was not in Manchester either on Friday or Saturday. Sir T. Henry—l will under those circumstances remand the prisoner for a week. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. -+--- SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) NEWSAGENTS AND CHANCERY DISPITTES.-IMPORTANT DICISION.-ERUTON v: HACKETT. This was an action to recover a sum of money for cer tain newspapers, called the Sporting Opinion, supplied to the defendant for sale. Defendant admitted having received the newspapers, but said he had been served with a notice from a suitor in this Court, under the provisions of the Equity Jurisdiction Act, not to pay for the papers. His Lordship asked if such notice camo from this Court. Mr. Osgood (the registrar) explained that there had been Chancery proceedings in this Court in reference to a sport ing paper known as the Turf. Mr. Commissioner Kerr had granted an injunction against the defendant in that suit, Mr. Davey restraining him from publishing any news paper resembling the Turf. The notice handed in, how ever, had nothing to do with the Court. Plaintiff--I have nothing to do with the Turf at all. Mr. Osgood—Do you know Mr. Davey ? Plaintiff —I do. lie was formerly in my service, but be has nothing to do with me at all, nor with the Sporting Opinion, which is a totally different affair to the Turf. Defendant--I am perfectly willing to pay the amount, only I wish to know to whom I am to pay it. His Lordship—The notice with which you have been served does not come from the Court, .and you must pay the money to the plaintiff. You will be protected by the order of the Court against any other proceedings. Defendant—That is all I require. The verdict then passed for the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. Henry Roylance, a middle-aged man, was charged before the Lord Mayor with having unlawfully in his possession four table cloths, the property of the proprietors of the City Club. Charles Underwood, ono of the City detectives, said that about half-past five o'clock yesterday afternoon he saw the prisoner in Old., Broad-street, and noticed that he ap peared very bulky. He stopped him, and asked him what he had got about his person. He took from him one of the table cloths produced, which was concealed under his left arm, and he told him he must charge him with being in possession of it unlawfully, and that he must ac company him to the station. At the station he found the three other tablecloths tied round his body with a piece of string, and also a pound of butter. The prisoner said that the things were given to him by one of the servants of the Club, where he was employed as a labourer, or stable helper. He gave the officer his correct address, and he found the wife, who appeared to be a very respectable per son, there, and she told him she was not surprised at what had occurred, as the prisoner had lately become addicted to drink. The tablecloths were identified by a female servant of the Club as having been given out by her the day before to be sent to the laundress who worked for the establish ment. She said that the prisoner had no right whatever to have the articles in his possession. _ _ It was also proved that the prisoner was employed at the Club for ten hours per day, at the rate of 411 per hour. _ _ Underwood said that he had found another tablecloth at ,he prisoner's lodgings, and asked for a remand in order that it might be id.ntified. The prisoner, who admitted having taken the tablecloths produced, was remanded until Thursday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CASE.—Michael Murray, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned with another man named Barrett now in custody, in committing a burglary at the house of Mr. James O'Neil, 17, Ileddon street, Regent-street, and stealing a quantity of clothes— some partly made. Barrett was charged at this court somo days ago and committed to the Central Criminal Court for trial, he pro testing his innocence. The prosecutor said—On the Bth of July my place was broken into and some coats and other property stolen. I charged a young man named Barrett, and he was com mitted for trial. Last night the prisoner called upon me, and I then accused him of being concerned in the burglary. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had done, and that if he had not been drinking he would not have done it, and that he had come to give himself up. I sent for a constable and gave him into custody. The prisoner—l did not say I was guilty. lam inno cent. I know nothing about it. Buckingham, 328 A—l was called to 17, Heddon-stree t, last night, and on the prosecutor saying that the prisoner had come to give himself up, the prisoner said, " Well, I thought 1 might as well give myself up, as I have been seen in the streets by several persons, and the other man in prison is innocent, and he did not want to see an inno cent man suffer, although the man had some of the pro ceeds of the robbery." I then took the prisoner, who was quite sober, to the station. In answer to the charge the prisoner said, " I heard the prosecutor was looking after me, and I went to him to know what he wanted with me. I met the man who took the things in the City, and he asked me to come out of London with him, and before we went he sold the things, but I did not know where they came from. I afterwards went to Kingston with him, and then he told me all about Dir. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. WESTMINSTER. FEMALE ORCHARD ROBBERS.-C. Ryan and S. Reeves, of the ages of 15 and 17 years, were charged with being in the orchard of Mr. Freath at Brompton. John Smith, gardener, said that on Tuesday night the grounds of Mr. Freath were entared, and a quantity of fruit carried off; this had been effected by breaking down the fence, which he bad repaired yesterday, but found, in the course of the evening, that it was again broken. He went then about 8 o'clock and found the two defendants in the ground. They had got in by breaking a board down, and crawling through the hole they had made. In answer to inquiries from Mr. Selfe, The gardener said that the loss of the apples and other fruit purloined by intruders was trifling compared with the damage they did to the trees and in other respects. Those girls had trodden down a quantity of potatoes. Ryan—We had none of the apples. Mr. Selfe—What did you go there for? Reeves —We went there for fruit. On its being asked what was known of the girls, it was stated that Ryan's family wore nearly all in prison for dif ferent offences. The accused were remanded till Saturday. THAMES. THE STATE OF THE COURT.-HEALTHFUL PRECAUTIONS. —This morning the whole of the matting laid down in this court, to deaden the noise of people walking about, was re moved by order of Mr. Partridge, who said the noise was a secondary consideration at this critical period, and that people from all quarters of the district where cholera and diarrhcea were prevalent were constantly passing in and ottt cf the court, The matting collected large plan-, tities of dirt and mud, and eVery time any person moved about large clouds of dust were hovering about, which the magistrate presiding, the officers of the court, professional men, witnesses, and others inhaled. Mr. Pearidge 'Was satisfied the matting was very unhealthyand ought never to have been laid dcrwn in the court. He directed that disinfecting fluids should be throWn over the court, the passages and cells, and that no overcrowd ing be permitted. These precautions are highly neces sary and expedient, as two persons have been recently attacked with cholera in the court. They were imme diately remo'ed, one to an hospital, the other to a work house. A mass of the dirtiest people to be found in the metropolis are generally to be found in the passage and the back of the court, and are known as the " court beauties." UTTERING A FORGED ORDER.—Frances Green, a woman about 30 years of age, and who was described as a tailoress, of 48, Grosvenor-street, Ratcliff, was brought up on remand, charged with being concerned with John Lucas, not in custody, in uttering a forged order for the sum of £2B 125., with the intent to cheat and defraud Peter Murphy, well knowing the same to be so, at the parish of St. George-in- the-East. Murphy is a soldier in the 86th Regiment. He was formerly serving with the army in India, and he deposited his savings, amounting to £2B 125., with Captain Gold, the commander of his regiment. 'When Murphy came to England he made the acquaintance of the prisoner and her brother, John Lucas. They in duced him to have his letters addressed to their dwelling in Chapel-street, St. George-in-the-East. Lucas obtained possession of an order for the payment of £2B 12s. in favour of Murphy, and drawn by Captain Gold, and by forging Murphy's name to it, and representing himself as that per son, he obtained cash for it at the office of Sir John Kirk laud, army agent, of 17, Whitehall-place, on the 20th of May last. It was proved that the prisoner, Green, received the letter containing the order, and that she gave it to her brother. She is the wife of a carman, and she admitted to the police, Sergeant 'reeston, No. 58 K, that she received the order and gave it to her brother, who was keeping out of the way. Freesto n had ex p erienced great difficulties in the investigation of the case, in consequence of prosecu tor's reserve and his want of intelligence.was kee i n g back Mr. Partridge susp ected that Murphy p something. The case must be further investigated. Ile remanded the prisoner again for a week. SHARE MARKETS.—This Day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Share Railways. Paid.

FLOGGING OF GAROTTERS. —During the assizes which terminated on Monday six prisoners, convicted of robbery With personal violence; *ere ordered; in addition to their sentences'of penal servitude, to be flogged with the cat-o'-nine tails. In his charge to the grand jury, and sub sequently in sentencing the prisoners, Mr. Justice Lush re marked that the fullest power of punishment allowed by the law would be inflicted, with a View to the repression of i his si3eCieS of tiriiiie ; and on TiiesdiV the first batch of offenders underwent- the lash at the New Bailey Prison, Manchester, in the p resence o f se veral of the visiting jus tices, Captain Mitchell, the governor, and Dr. Braddon, the o ewly=appointed surgeon of the gaol, The place selected for carrying out the punishment is a small enclosed yard near the Irwell-street end of the gaol; The prisoners were stripped to the waist, their legs fastened in a kind of box, and their arms secured by straps, at the wrist, leaving the hands free to clutch two rings to which the stra p are attached. no first brought to the post was Michael John Tlaherty, 18 years of age, who had been convicted of having, together with other persons, robbed William BradahaW on the 12th of Vebruary, and John Ile was to receive 1 8 iSaVsahtesso. n Tc n he th p e ris f o o n l e lo r w h i a n d g f o d r a t ed himself with a piece of leather, which he rolled into his mouth, and at eVery fall of the "cat" compressed between his teeth, He Writhed and howle d piteously, and at the twelfth stroke crie d, tell me whether that i s e l even or t we l ve ."

Th o sus p ense between the strokes seemed to add t al of th e s t ro k e. O n b e i ng re had howled so f ear f u lly before, renewal round, and said with the most consummate impu dence, .. Thank you, gentienlen I my a apprehensionse the d , agonyt hprisoner; t the en who eN mother often gave me worse with her apron strings." The next mounted was Peter Kelly, who was a youth about 20 years, tall in stature, and muscular in frame. lie had been convicted of h i g h wa y robbery with violence, and of an attempt to " choke and strangle" an old man. He bore the first three or four strokes with perfect composure, but through out the rest of the castigation groaned repeatedly at every stroke. Once, turning round ho said, " I'm innocent of this, gentlemen;" and when taken down he repeatedly protested his innocence of the offence for which he had been condemned. He also received 18 lashes. The third prisoner was William Wright, thirty-four years of age, who was the companion of Kelly in the offence. Ile also received 18 lashes. lie was brought into the yard as Kelly was taken away, and, turning rou,.. - d, ho WV the u nsightly lacerations on his companion's back, and shuddered at the anticipated pain of under going a similar disfigurement. Though he uttered no cry or groan, every muscle and fibre of his frame shook throughout the operation. On being removed he also de clared his utter innocence of the crime imputed to him. A refractory youngster, who had refused to work, was next hoisted. At the first stroke he howled, danced, and shrieked, and continued to do so throughout, protesting that he would willingly do any work if allowed to go. The remaining three prisoners sentenced to be whipped were t 9 undergo their pluitlbziont yeavoity.

BRIGHTON RACES —WEDICESDAY. The Cup day is considered the most fashionable of the meeting, the attendance, therefore, was much larger than on Tuesday. The weather during the morning was very boisterous, and as the hour approached for the first race the prospects of A fine afternoon appeared remote, as the sky was overspread with clouds, and rain tell heavily, but for tunately after the first race the clouds dispersed and the sun shone brilliantly. The wind was not so disagieeable as on the opening day, but it was still very high, and ladies ex perienced great difficulty in keeping their toilettes from its rude strength. A match between Nightwatchand Forester Was placed on the card to commence the sport at '2 o'clock, but being off by consent the actual business of the day did not commence until half an hour later. The Ovingdean Plate, with 11 runners, produced a warm favourite iu Vio lent, who won very easily by two lengths from Paris. The Fifteenth Brighton Biennial Stakes, with but three runners, was productive of some very lively speculation between Trocadero and Cannon Ball, but the last-named was beaten at the distance, and " the outsider" Mandrake, a remark ably good-looking colt, was left to do battle with the French horse, who, however, won by half a length. The Cup, a very handsome silver vase of elegant workmanship, portraying " The escape of Charles the Second from Brighton to Fackham, near Havre-de-Grace," was of course the most attractive race of the day, and when the five starters were notified the interest was at its height. The betting at the last moment was very heavy, both Tormentor and The Duke being freely backed, the Oaks victrix at ono moment having a slight call, but before the flag fell they were equal favourites, at 2 to 1, while Tourmalin, at 5 to 2, received substantial support from the followers of the popular " blue and yellow cap." Janitor was among the starters to make the pace for his stable companion, an .d the moment they were settled in their places he com menced his mission. The pace requires little comment, for Tormentor was beaten a mile from home, and The Duke, taking up the running when he liked, cantered in a winner by 15 lengths, almost pulling Fordham out of the saddle. The victory of the Marquis of Hastings was received with great satisfaction by the general public, loud cheers greeting the winner and Fordham as they returned to the enclosure. The remainder of the racing is suffi ciently described in the subjoined return, which contains every detail of the running.

Cannon Ball made play with a slight lead of Mandrake and Trocadero for more than half a mile, when Lord St. Vincent's colt gave way, and Man drake came on with a slight advantage of Trocadero to op posite the stand, where the latter headed him and won cleverly by half a length ; Cannon Ball was a bad third.

A long delay at the post was occasioned by the restiveness of Monitor, Variation, and Birkdale. When the flag fell Monitor jumped off with the lead, but gave way to Caprice, Birkdale, and Goldylocks, after going a hundred and fifty yards, and they ran thus till half-way up the hill, where Monitor rushed to the front, and never again being headed, won easily by a length from Caprice ; Virtuous and Birk dale, close up with the second, finished a dead heat for third place ; Wild Thyme was fifth ; The Masson sixth ; Variation seventh ; and Escorte next.

The competitors were dispatched at the first attempt, Tormentor having a slight lead for a hundred yards, when Janitor, forcing the pace for his stable companion, took up the running with a clear lead of Tormentor and Tourmalin side by side, The Duke being about a length in their rear, while Rattler, outpaced from the start, was beaten off before going a quarter of a mile. Little variation in their relative positions occurred until approaching the T.Y.C. post, when Tormentor, it was evident, was beaten, and in a few strides further she gave way.

Several witnesses w ere called to prove these facts. The prisoner was com mitted for trial at the ass izes. Mr. Hutchinson syn. , , appeared for the prosecution. DR. GUTHRIE ON THE DUCAL HOUSE OF ARGYLL —At the rejoicings on the occasion of the Mar quis of to his majority , the Rev. Dr. e L l o n r v h e e ra a ry ttaining Guthrie proposed th e health of the Duchess of Argyll. In the course of a very interesting speech he said—" I have all the more freedom to stand here this day, and to plead, if it were necessary, for all reverence and affection for that house (of Argyll) and the order to which they belong, for . crushed that I have not spent my life booing, booing, as the Scotch people say —booing, booing to those at the top. I have at the bot tom tit better. I have spent it pleading s pent lying o in b g orrow figurefrom the an sociald brokenscale . fellow-creatures e t mesaythis,of the obsolete art of falconry, which has survived, and which, I think, is very telling. Lord Lorne is a hawk out of a good neat—Argyll pu tmy oot on onthhisis hand, and Sutherland on that. I will to a i n •y d . , I will stand on ground where uo man can challenge me, and I will assert before this company and before the world, th a t to no house, from the border to Dunnet head, does Scotland owe so much as to the houses of Argyll and Sutherland. Twi ce the sun saw the head of an Argyll roll on the bloody scaffold for Scotland's rights and liberties ; and to the good Earls of Sutherland that district of country owes the honour that she wears un rivalled this day. There were good Earls of Sutherland in the olden times, whose qualities are written in imperish able memory ; men who made it a matter of conscience to fill the pulpits and parishes of that district country with mini s ters pre-eminent for power and piety. Though dead, the good Lords of Sutherland yet speak, sneak in the statistical tables loud and clear. Sutherland —and Ibe lieve it maybe tracedba ck to the good works of these good old Earls—Sutherland in point of morality this day stands w ithout a rival in Sc otland, in England, in his day believe, in the civilised world. I therefore repeat my say ing, that Lord Lorno is a hawk out of a good Go ne t; and I have no doubt whatever that he will, by God's blessing, hi s baying he would add to—the honours of his house. Evena regard to the present Duke, his science, his literature, his statesiranship, his support of every good and great moral cause in the country, if the Duke and Lord Lorne were hnre, I would say in the pre sence of the father to his son; "May ye rive your father's bonnet.'
