( From the Correspondent of a Morning- Contemporary. ) The ceremonies and festivities of the installation having terminated yesterday, it was generally under , stood this morning that the Duke of Wellington, doffing his academic robe of office, would figure in his military capacity at a review of Lord Churchill's troop of Yeomanry in Blenheim Park. In conse quence of this impression, post-horses and vehicles, significantly denominated flies (lucus a non lucendo), were sought after with the utmost activity, and at an early hour carriages of every description succeeded each other rapidly on the road leading to Woodstock. But the movements of his Grace were not exactly such as had been anticipated. At ten o'clock his Grace, accompanied by the Vice-Chancellor, proceeded to visit the several colleges to return thanks to their respective bodies for the very warm reception he had met with, and the more than ordinary splendour and solemnity bestowed upon his installation. The time unavoidably consumed in this ceremony prevented his Grace from fulfilling his original intention of being present at the review. The troop was drawn up on the ground contiguous to the monument in Blenheim Park. The Duke of Cumberland honoured them with his inspection, and seemed highly satisfied with the excellent equipments andirnilitary appearance of the men. A silver cup, of very handsome workmanship, was presented to Lord Churchill by the troop, as a testimony of the very great esteem in which his Lordship was held by the yeomanry under his command, and of their gratitude for the manner in which he had invariably discharged the duties of their commanding officer. His Lordship received the cup from the hands of the captain, and expressed his deep sense of the compliment paid him, amid the cheers of the troop. The men withdrew to a dinner that had been prepared for them in the market house of Woodstock, where they passed the evening in most vociferous hilarity. The influx of strangers was very considerable, and the town of Woodstock exhibited a very animated appearance. The ball of yesterday evening was free from all the inconveniences thet made that of Wednesday infinitely more fatiguing than pleasing. Doubling the price of the tickets, and a rigid attention to the costume of •the applicants for admission, had the very desirable effect of limiting their numbers. The festivities were prolonged until a late hour. This morning the streets are rife with the hurry and bustle of departure. Equipages are issuing from all quarters : no mercy on post horses. Happy are they who can make their escape immediately by the public conveyances, as there are no places to be had till Tuesday. In another day, Oxford will have relapsed into its original dulness and tranquillity. OXFORD, JUNE 15. Yesterday morning, before the Duke of Wellington took his departure for London, he paid a farewell visit to the several colleges and halls in turn. It was nearly twelve o'clock before the Duke's travelling carriage was drawn up to the door of University Col lege, and then he got into it, accompanied, as on his entry, by Mr. Croker. Just as he had taken his seat two squalid-looking fellows approached him, one of them holding in his hand a di r ty piece of paper, which he alleged to be a certificate of his service as a soldier. This person requested his Grace would give him something to drink his health, saying he had been at the storming of St. Sebastian. The Noble and Gal lant Duke asked him what regiment he bad belonged to at the time ; and on hearing his reply, which, how ever, did not reach those who were staeding round, he said, " No, no ; it was not there at all." This fellow, who was evidently an imposter, then folded up his sham certificate, and put it into his pocket, seeing the Duke was not "to be done." But the other gave proof of his services, and " had his claims allowed." He sought his Grace's bounty, upon the ground of his having been at the battle of Orthes. " I don't think you were there, my honest friend," said the duke. " Yes I was, your Grace, and I'll prove it," replied the ragged veteran; " I was standing at the corner of that field where your Grace received the slight wound on the hip." This was conclusive with the duke, and putting his hand in his waistcoat pocket, he presented him with a sovereign. " Thank your Grace," said the maudlin old soldier ; " I'll now go and drink to your health and long life, with as light a heart as any man in Oxford." The carriage then drove off amidst the loud cheers of the spectators. His Grace took the Tetsworth road, and it was understood that he would call at the Earl of Jersey's, on his way to London. Before I close this letter, I think it right to state, for the information of the public, that the parties who have furnished the several accounts of the solemn celebration which has just terminated, owe nothing either to the courtesy or kindness of the two Curators of the University of Oxford. Indeed, some of them must have been excluded altogether from the scene, had it not been for the generous interposition of pri vate friends. The press was never once contemplated in the arrangements, and it would seem as if the two reverend doctors, who had the direction of them, wished that the whole splendour of the grand ceremo nial should be hidden " under a bushel," so far as the public were concerned. - - - IRISH CHURCH. Many of the daily papers have for the last week clung with an angry pertinacity to gross misrepre sentations of Lord Grey's speech in the debate on the Irish church. They have asserted that he shrunk from the expression of any principle on which to found his views upon the subject in question, and that he acknow ledged a subordination and unmanly deference to the Tory majority in the Lords. We have no hesitation in declaring both these accusations to be utterly and glaringly false. The most careless or the most critical examination of the speech itself will bear out our as sertions ; but as few give themselves this trouble, we w ill make such short extracts as will satisfy all but those who are predetermined that nothing shall satisfy them but the gratification of their own spleen or ambi tion. We are unwilling to impute motives : but we can conceive nothing short of stupidity on the one hand, or malignity on the other, which can have so doggedly misinterpreted plain language andunequivocal sen ti ments ; an d we l eave t h e e di tors or their prompters to choose either horn of the dilemma, or they may each take one. We proceed to the speech itself, which has few parallels for manly simplicity of style, and resolute adhesion to a continued liberal po licy. Having rebutted the vulgar taunts of Lord Wick low, and repelled his unfounded assertion that the Government were about to seize on the property of the Church, Lord Grey, having first drawn a distine, tion between the English and the Irish establishment, proceeds to lay down the principle upon which the commission in question has been appointed. He says —" The rights of the present proprietors I hold to be sacred ; but I maintain that the property of the Church is a subject for the exercise of the discretion of the Legislature." From this general principle, he proceeds to its special and practical application, wherein he adds—" I will fairly state my opinions with respect to the property of the Church in Ireland. I think that if a considerable surplus of the revenue should remain beyond what is required to support the effi ciency of the church and those other purposes con nected with the interests of true religion, I avow the principle, that the state has a right to deal with that surplus with a view to the emergencies of the state and the general interests of the country." Now, if both principle and application be not clearly enounced here, there must be some latent defect either in the English language or in English apprehensions ; for we can devise n o f orm of .words to render them more clear. The second charge accuses LoFd Grey of trembling before his peers, and Confessing e that . he holds office at the pl easure of their Tory But when we search for expressi ons of this ry t ui r ha e aj m t o ia l b e r li t i l i y ly g . . spirit, we find him, emphatically . challenging the cont rary , e challenging Lord Wicklow, the Duke of Wellington, and their associates , to proceed to extremities against himself and his administration. His words are— " I say there is no shrinking from this course. The noble earl ( Wicklow) must be prepared to f o ll ow up his motion of this night with anether, having for its object to put an end to an administration which in his likAelnydtoapgraoidnuchee so rei m te u r e a l t i es m t i h sc e hi w ef ag t e o r th e e f Country." opinionis battle this appeal to the opinion of their countrymen ; till, fearing lest so urgent a defence of the principles of his administration should be misinterpreted into a personal clin g i n g to office, he, with a high-minded consciousness, which base minds may not compre hend, separates himself from his cause, and con templates the formation of a new administration, wherein he is zealous only "that the principles on which it is conducted be in conformity with the spirit of the age ; in order that progress may be made in those further sa lutary improvements which necessarily grow out of the great measures of reform." This is the course of policy for which he contends; if it can be, and will be honestly enforced by others, and if there be a peculiar bitter ness of spirit towards him, which obstructs their com pletion by his hands, then he is ready and willing to resign ; for as to personal gratification, he says, " dive me leave to assure you that it cannot be very agreeable to me to sit here, night after night, to see arranged on the opposite benches a number of your Lordships, which, I know, when called into a division, must decide the question against me. Nevertheless, I have persevered, under all the difficulties and disad vantages incidental to this state of things, in the hope that better times would come." He then expresses his regret that these hopes have not been realized, and firmly adds, " In conclusion I will again observe that, with honour to the noble earl ( Wicklow ), the matter cannot rest here, but that if he has good reason for entertaining the opinion which he has expressed re specting the conduct of government, he ought to adopt proceedings to effect our removal from office. If he will not do this, let him, at least, permit our measures to proceed without endeavouring to excite throughout the country a factious spirit of discontent." We have troubled our readers with these long and many ex tracts, in order to enable them to form their own opinions of the justice of these accusations against Lord Grey. It is seldom that we enter on these con troversial points ; but a sense of justice has impelled us in the present instance ; and we believe few but the blindly prejudiced, will accuse Lord Grey of having evaded the recognition of an important principle which must govern the present question of the reform of the Irish church, and none but tavern brawlers, whose notion of courage consists in noisy threats, will com plain of him for having stated in firm and dignified language the pains and difficulties of his situation, together with his resolution and desire to meet them.

There seems at length to be sonic prospect of the speedy completion of the new Palace in St. James's Park. Great numbers of workmen are now busily engaged on the ground in front of the Palace, which is to be raised some feet above the level of the public enclosure, so as to form a kind of terrace car riage sweep from Constitution-hill to the James-street gate. The equestrian statue of George the Fourth, we understand, is finished, and in a few days will be placed on the marble gateway in front of the Palace ; from which gateway to the lodges on either side has been erected lofty wrought-iron palisades, the orna mental tops whereof are richly gilt, and have a very handsome effect. We are told that the interior of the Palace is also in a forward state, and that it will be ready for the reception of his Majesty early next season. MR. BARON GURNEY AND HIS " SHORT HAND."—During the sittings in Bunco of the Court of Exchequer a curious objection was made, arising out of Mr. Baron Gurney's expeditious mode of writing down a witness's deposition. The learned judge, who is the brother of Mr. Gurney the short-hand writer to the House of Commons, almost invariably takes steno graphic notes of the evidence. A witness, on a late trial in the country, was entering into some inadmis sible details, when a learned counsel started up to pre vent him, but Mr. Baron Gurney's rapid pen had already committed to paper some of the inadmissible evidence, and on the objection being held valid, he accidentally omitted to make an erasure. When the learned barcn read his notes in court, on an argument for a new trial, Mr. Evans, the barrister, discovered that more than was necessary appeared in evidence, and he actually contended that the learned judge had admitted illegal evidence upon the trial. After an amusing discussion this objection was of course overruled. On occa sions when ill health has caused the learned baron's absence from court during term, much merriment has been caused by his learned colleagues finding his notes entirely unintelligible to them. FEMALE MANIFESTATIONS.—On Sunday last there was an exhibition of this nature in that hot bed of fanaticism, Mr. Tait's chapel. We believe it was a sacramental day, and one of their evangelists, as they are termed, was prea c hi ng , w h en su dd en l y a fe male started up and exclaimed, " Oh, what lack of love ; oh, what deadness !" Mr. Carlyle then mounted I the rostrum, and another female in the same manner I shouted out, " It is a smitten rock come from among you, ye worshippers of Baal—he has received the pro mise, it has behoved him." Although it might be sup posed that these displays have been too frequent of late to attract any particular attention, yet a consider able sensation was excited by the sex of the zea lots.—Edinburgh Observer. PANORAMA OF NEW YORK.—On Sa turday a numerous company was attracted to the Pa norama in Leicester-square, to witness the private view of a new panoramic picture of the City of New York, painted by Mr. Robert Burford, from draw ings taken by him in the autumn of 1832. This is by far the most extensive and interesting picture ever finished by Mr. Burford. Mr. Burford states that it was taken by him opposite the city hall, a spot from which the eye embraces the whole of New York. On the east it is bounded by the East River, an inlet of the sea, beyond which are the shores of Long Island, and the wooded heights of Brooklyn. On the west is the river Hudson, a mile in breadth, with a long line of shipping of all sizes and nations, to which the ro mantic town o f H o b o k en , an d th e richly cultivated and fertile shores of Jersey, form a splendid back ground. To the south the bay presents its vast expanse of water, studded with green and pleasant islands, with white villas peeping forth among the trees; others covered with formidable and frowning batteries, the view being closed by the heights of the Narrows. In the oppo posite direction the island stretches about fifteen miles in extent until it is lost in the continental part of New York, from which it is divided by the. Harlaem river : the whole, under a clear state of atmosphere and a brilliant sky, forms a most lively, agreeable, and inte resting scene. Such are nearly the descriptive terms employed by the artist himself. SEA WATER MADE FRESH._ Ori Satur day a number of scientific gentlemen inspected Messrs. Wells and Westrup's patent machine for converting sea water into excellent fresh water, which was exhi bited in a vessel moored in the river, near Westminster bridge. The conversion is effected by distillation, the condensation being produced by passing the pipe, by which the steam is carried off; through the side of the vessel into the river, and returning it into the vessel again at a sufficient distance for condensing the steam, which then flows out in a stream of pure fresh water. The top of the cistern in which the sea water is boiled, is formed to allow cooking kettles to be placed in it, and of course anything contained in them may be boiled by the heat of the steam, so that the cooking for a ship's company may be performed by the same process that shall supply them with a sufficiency of fresh water. The process converts nine-tenths of the sea water contained in the cistern into pure fresh water in about twelve hours. The cistern by which the process was performed on Saturday contained about 133 gallons, and in twelve hours about 120 gallons of fresh water was produced. The gentlemen present all tasted the converted fresh water, and pro nounced it excellent. Their Majesties, and many of their friends, at a dinner party, a short time ago, tasted the converted water, and all agreed that it could not be distinguished from the best naturally fresh water. The invention combines simplicity and utility in a high degree, and may on many occasions prove an incalcu lable benefit to the class of men to whom this country is so much indebted for its greatness and its security. ATTEMPTED FRAUD ON MR. CONST.—A few days ago a man presented himself at the house of Mr. Const, the late Chairman of the Middlesex ses- ' sions, with a note to the following effect, purporting to be signed by Mr. Rotch, the present Chairman of the sessions :—" Dear Sir,—Being hard pushed this morning, and having very urgent occasion for a sum of money immediately, I should feel obliged if you will lend me a check for 550/. Yours truly, B. Rotch." The circumstances under which Mr. Const and Mr. Rotch are placed induced the former gentleman to doubt the genuineness of the note, but, without creating any alarm, he desired the man to convey his compliments to Mr. Rotch, and to state, that until he had made up his banker's book he was not aware that he had so much money in his possession, the man to call at two o'clock in the afternoon. In the mean time, the letter was discovered to be a forgery, and at two o'clock, when the man again made his appearance, he was taken into custody. He stated that he was quite ignorant of the contents of the note. He was a porter at a banking-house in the neighbourhood of the Strand, and he was desired by a person whom he did not know to take the letter to Mr. Const's house, and wait for the answer. His story appearing to be cor rect, we understand he was set at liberty.—Observer. The wife of Thomas Benson, livery-lace maker, of Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, being suddenly taken ill on Thursday morning last, to all appearance expired, and when every symptom of life had fled the body was duly laid out. The hus band, hoping for a little consolation in his distreFs from some money which he had reason to believe she had secreted from him in her lifetime, began to search for it, and in the course of the evening found upwards of 701., principally in silver, iu a rusty tin box depo sited in an old birdcage in the cellar. On the follow ing night between nine and ten o'clock, whilst the un dertaker was in the house receiving instructions for the funeral to the astonishment and terror of the whole family, Mrs. Benson came down stairs, having been in a trance nearly thirty hours. Her situation has so terribly shocked her that but faint hopes are enter tained of her recovery. On Saturday the inhabitants of the village of Pensez, near Morlaix, in Finisterre, were suddenly alarmed by reiterated shouts of a crowd on both banks of the river, announcing that a large body of monsters were swimming up the stream. In a minute the whole population was out, and found no fewer than six enor mous dolphins sailing up so close to each other, that they appeared to form one immense mass. Several balls were fired at them without effect. At length, three large boats, laden with sand, followed the in vaders up the river, cut off their retreat, and at length drove them upon a bank, where being assailed by oars, spades, shovels, pitch-forks, and other similar instru ments, they were all destroyed, and dragged with shouts of exultation to the land. The triumph, how ever, was not gained without great danger, for the strokes of the tails of these marine monsters were suf ficiently violent to break an arm or a leg. BRUTAL ASSAULT AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER. —On Friday a most brutal outrage was com mitted at Rendlesham, on the person of a poor woman, named Mary Webb, aged 84. She left her home at Sutton on the Friday morning, to visit her son at Buteley, upon which he said that he was going that way, and would walk with her. They had not walked further than 20 rods together before they came to a covert belonging to Lord Rendlesham, called the New Delight. The fellow then jumped over the hedge, and having dragged the old woman after him, knocked her down with a stick, thrust a handkerchief into her mouth, and then proceeded to commit a fiendish assault upon her person, which he accomplished. Not con tent with this savage triumph over the helpless victim of his brutality, he with some blunt instrument stab bed her in the throat and in both arms, leaving her for dead, weltering in her blood. In this state the poor old creature lay until six o'clock on Saturday evening, when she was discovered by a labourer, who recognised and conveyed her to her son's house at Butley. She is still living ; and Barnes, the constable, having oh tained a description of the ruffian, went in pursuit, but without success.—Stiffolk Chronicle. SINGULAR DISCOVERY.—A few days ago, the skeleton of a human being was dug up on the estate of Corsock, in the parish of Parton, in the Stew artry of Kirkcudbright, close to the great road leading from New Galloway to Dumfries. The bones were but a few inches below the surface, and from the man ner in which they were disposed, it was evident that the body must have been forced into the hole in which it was discovered, for it must have been doubled up for that purpose. The skeleton appeared to have lain for no longer than fifteen or twenty years in the earth, as part of the hair was stilt fresii, and attached to the scalp. It is, a remarkable circumstance connected with this accidental discovery, that some three years ago the Procurator fromt e or Fiscal the e f H th e e me Stewartry Secre tary, re ceiveda mm s tating that a private soldier had been sent home from the West Indies, who confessed to a murder that he had committed about twenty years before on the road from New Galloway to Dumfries ; and re questing the Procurator to investigate the matter, which he did, but was not able at the time to obtain any clue to the act to which the man had confessed ; and indeed the whole affair was considered in no other light than as one of those every-day fictions by which men in the banished regiments seek to escape from their punishment. On the report of the Procu rator to Government, it is believed that the soldier was then sent back to the colony from whence he came. Whether, after so long a period has elapsed, it may be worth while farther to inquire into the case, it will be for the authorities to determine ; they have, we believe, received such information as will enable them to do so. The bones, after being examined, were decently re-interred in Parton church yard. —D unyiies Times. MYSTERIOUS DEATH.—The neighbour hood of Limehouse is in a state of great excitement, in consequence of the body of a handsome, respectably dressed young woman having been taken out of the Regent's Canal, on Friday night, under circumstances which are calculated to excite a suspicion that she fell a victim to some foul play. The night was stormy, and the deceased was observed by a policeman in the Commercial-road, walking in company with a gentle man dressed in black, who carried an umbrella. They appeared to be very earnest in conversation. Shortly afterwards they were noticed by another policeman, walking near the canal, and eventually the same policeman saw the gentleman running away very fast, and carrying the umbrella. The circumstance at the moment did not particularly engage his attention, but within two or three minutes after the gentleman had passed, the policeman heard a noise in the water, and saw the deceased struggling ; but before he could render any assistance, she sunk. She was taken out of the canal as speedily as possible, and efforts were made to restore animation, but without success. She wore a black silk dress and bonnet, and on the inside of one of her gloves there was written the name, " Mrs. Hart." A pocket-book was found upon her, but it contained nothing that would lead to a discovery of her residence. There are no marks of violence on her body, except a slight bruise on the left leg. A sailor, who assisted in getting out the body, states that he saw a gentleman answering the description of the person seen by the policemen, come to the bridge over the canal, about an hour after the occurrence. He looked about very anxiously, and walked back wards and forwards hi a hurried manner. The sailor spoke to him, and asked him if he had missed any one ? He replied " No," and went away. The sailor and the police are fearful that they would not be able to recognize him again. The body awaits the Coroner's Inquest. TERRIFIC STORM: BRIGIMN, JUNE 15.-During the week we have had occasional showers, but of a transient nature. Yesterday, however, the weather was very sulky, and towards evening black clouds arose in succession, por tending a violent tempest. About 7 o'clock it bean to lighten, and as the evening advanced the lightning became more vivid. Shortly a flash of lightning il lumined the town, and was succeeded by a most awful burst of thunder. The rain afterwards fell in torrents, and in a short time " hail mingled with the rain." The hail-stones were of such magnitude that the stoutest heart appeared appalled ; we speak within compass when we state that a shower of hailstones fell as large as chesnuts, and many of the size of walnuts, and so hard were they congealed that it was impossi ble to bite them asunder ; and they came pattering down with great violence, breaking thousands of squares of glass. The storm raged with the greatest violence at the eastern part of the town, and scarcely a single window on the whole line of the Marine Pa rade is left whole. The Royal Crescent windows ex hibit the appearance of havoc occasioned by a fire. In some houses from fifty to sixty squares of glass are broken, and in one house on the Parade every pane facing the sea is broken. The storm raged with un diminished violence for about an hour and a half. We have conversed with several old inhabitants, who say that they never remember a storm so terrific in ap pearance. The above is but a faint description. The damage done is estimated at 8,0001. DISSOLUTION OF THE LEEDS TRADES' UNION. (From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.) This union has, during the whole of the present week, been melting away with great rapidity, and yesterday its complete dissolution took place. On Monday the unionists assembled, as usual, on Hunslet Moor, abused the masters, the Leeds Mercury, and its correspondents, and resolved never to sign the de claration. Tuesday, the payday, however, produced a great change of tone. A small sum of money being in hand, the committee paid those of the men whose secession they most feared 2s. 6d. each, including the men who had been in the employ of Messrs. Sheep shanks and Co., though these had only been standing a week ; whilst the poor fellows who had been out a month, including a great majority of the whole, re ceived not a farthing. What followed is characteristic— the men who had got paid were the first to run and sign the declaration renouncing the union, and Messrs. Sheepshanks soon had their mill full of hands. Another meeting took place on Hunslet Moor on the Wednesday, but the rain, and a cause still more damping, reduced the attendance to a few hundreds. Still there were big words ; and a counter declaration, vowing inviolable attachment to the union, whatever might be the consequences to the masters, was agreed upon. But when signing was talked about, the men ran and signed the wrong docu ment, namely, that renouncing the union ! In short, Wednesday, Thursday, and yesterday, there was a race among the applicants at the mills ; and we regret to say great numbers who applied for work will not be able to maintain it owing to the depressed state of trade, and to the numbers from other trades and other places who have been taken into the mills during the strike. About 45 mills and dressing shops have been standing, but nearly all are now at work again. The masters having completely triumphed, we trust they will use their victory generously, and not suffer the slighest feeling of resentment towards a class or towards individuals to sully it. They have done well to break up a union which had acted in an insolent, tyrannical, ignorant, and mischievous manner ; but let them not sow the seeds of future unions, by attempting to gain unfair advantages over their men. We trust the mas ters feel it a happiness to give good wages, and to see their men comfortable and well fed. We are con vinced that it is the interest of masters to have work men who are in such circumstances, rather than to have half-starved, listless, and debilitated workmen. The Union being broken up, it may be hoped that the or ders which have been driven away from Yorkshire in consequence of the uncertainty of having them exe cuted, will be regained ; and if trade should revive, the hundreds and thousands of workmen who will now be left out of employment may again find work. SIR WALTER SCOTTS LAST VISIT TO SANDYKNOWE. Kindness for old friends and old scenes was a cha racteristic trait in the character of the late Sir Walter Scott. The relations that surrounded him in his in fancy, and nursed him in his tender years, he never forgot, but always delighted to allude to, and remem ber them. In Marntion, where numerous allusions to the friends and scenes of his childhood occur, the kindest and most honourable mention is made of his " grandsire." His kind old aunt Jenny, with whom, according to his own recount, " if Watty was right a' was right," was often present to his mind. Nor was her memory less cherished from its being associated with the ballads and songs which she sung to him, and the legends which she told. Almost every summer, during the last twenty years of his life, while he resided at Ashiestiel and Abbotsford, Sir Walter visited Sandyknowe with a numerous party of friends. After traversing the localities of the place, and surveying the old tower from the most striking points of view, the party, with their illustrious cicerone, sat down to a pic-nic feast upon the hill, while the household piper of the latter, seated on the tower, or on some neighbouring eminence, made the gray rocks echo with the martial strains of his native Highlands. Having passed a few days at Sandyknowe, I had an opportunity of learning the particulars of Sir Walter Scott's last visit to that romantic scene of his in fancy. He was accompanied by Mr. T—, the cele brated artist, and Mr. C—, the publisher. It was only a week or two before he set out from the land of his fathers, in search of lost health. He had been suffering much, both in body and mind, from that fatal paralytic affection which ultimately, and at no distant period, brought him to the grave. After walking round the rocky and ridgy hill, supported by his two friends, and having pointed out to them what was remarkable in the old tower and its vici nity, he entered, in their company, the hospitable dwelling of Mr. Stewart, on the invitation of its master, while the wearied carriage horses were rest ing over their hay. Mrs. Stewart, who had seen Sir Walter in his prime, was forcibly struck with his worn and enfeebled appearance. He walked with increased difficulty, spoke in a low and dispirited manner, so as to be but imperfectly heard, and seemed bowed down with disease and decay. On entering the apartment he observed to Mrs. Stewart, with characteristic naivete, that she was receiving into her house three very different characters—an artist, a bookseller, and a book-maker. Speaking of Sandyknowe, he said, with consider able emotion, " I love Sandyknowe well ; every grey rock, and every green knowe, is familiar to me ; I have known them from a boy. I was sent out here to die, but Providence has had more for me to do." One of Mr. Stewart's daughters, a lively girl of four teen, sitting near him, he suddenly looked in the face, kissed her, and caressing her with his hand, and speaking in the broad Scotch dialect, of which he was such a master, and which he delighted to use when mingling with the tenantry and pea santry of his native land, he said, " You'll be a braw lass when I am no muckle worth." There was an air of melancholy r.nd dejection in his whole manner, and in most of his observations ; he evidently felt, and he even expressed his feel ing, that he was paying his last visit to Sandy knowe. He spoke, as was usual, of his grandfather and grandmother—" the gudeman and the gudewife," as he said they were commonly called—and aga i n and again he tenderly mentioned all the kind old guardians of his youth. On the " gudewife," as he called Mrs. Stewart, offering him a refreshment, he archly shook his head, and refused the proffered cup, alleging, in excuse, the stern order of the physicians, who would allow him, he said, " de'il a drap." After sitting upwards of an hour, and carrying on a conver sation with the inmates of the house, in which a keen sense of his melancholy situation was seen mingled with that fine vein of humour which formed such a charming feature in his character, he rose to depart. He left the house and premises in visible emotion ; in the fulness of his heart the tears stood in his:eyes ; and in a few minutes he was borne away from Sandyknowe, never to visit it more. Sandyknowe, and its interesting tower, have already become objects of attraction to tourists on the Tweed. In the summer and autumn, I have been informed pilgrims of every description, from the solitary pedes trian, carrying his coat bundle-wise over his back, to the traveller in a coroneted carriage, hasten to visit the favourite tower of our immortal countryman. For the information of future visiters I may add, that the hill which it crowns is about a mile and a half on the south of the Edinburgh road, five miles from Kelso, and that there is a tolerable road to the base of it, which is passable by carriages.—Dumfries Courier.

If a physician recommend some house where pure medicines nifty be obtained, he is assailed in the pages of a contemporary, and accused of having made a contract with the proprietor for a per centage system. His reputation and the welfare of his patient are unworthy of the slighest conside ration, and he is grossly slandered for daring to pro tect his own reputation, and save his patient's life.— Londor Medical and Surgical Journal. ■ .2. d. 2 4 3 3 A 3 0 3 LO
