When the hair is becoming thin and falling off, the only effec tual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above named articles, applied alternately—the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a non risher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for renovating and preserving she hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North American Indians, would be a sufficient answer. ROSS and SONS, 119 and 120, BISHOPSOATE-STREET, who first introduced the use of bear's grease into this country, and who fat and kill the animals, recommend the public .to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious article.

The royal cortege was received at Dundee with every demonstration of respect, and proceeded at once, escorted by the Scots Greys through Cupar Angus to Dunkeld, where her Majesty remained for a short period at Grant's Hotel. With the romantic scenery surrounding this picturesque town her Majesty was familiar, having been received there by Lord Glen lyon the year before last, when visiting Taymoith Castle. The royal carriages were ordered shortly before twelve, and her Majesty having re-entered her cha riot cast a long look of astonishment and admiration at the sublime scenery around Birnam Wood, which is now curtailed of its fair proportion of " leafy boughs," which we suppose have never sprung up again since they were lopped off and carried to Dunsinane by Macbeth's opponents. The carriages then went on to Moulinearn, from whence her Ma jesty was escorted by Lieutenant Phillips, with his detachment of Scots Greys. The postilions were or dered to drive slowly in order to afford her Majesty and the Prince as opportunity of remarking some of the magnificent objects which burst upon their view at every turning of the road ; on entering the pass of Killiecrankie, the scene of Claverhouse's exploits with the battlefield where he closed his usefu and eventful career, her Majesty ordered the postillions to walk their horses, and appeared to be overwhelmed with delight and admiration at the beauty of the surrounding scenery. The carriages then drove on slowly to Blair Atholl. It is expected that her Majesty will not leave the mansion during the afternoon. Lord and Lady. Glenlyon have been invited to join the royal dinner party, which will be strictly private. His Lordship, with Lady Glenlyon, will occupy the residence of Captain Macduff, his Lordship's factor, during the sojourn of her Majesty at Blair Atholl. Captain Macduff resides in a picturesque cottage in the grounds of Blair Atholl. tators often in a giddy elevation. A park of large leer, including several royal deer, is quite close to the 7astle. While ascending Glentilt, there is a carriage (rive of ten miles, hut a distance of two or three miles from Blair Castle leads within the boundless range of the red deer, all which may give an idea of the sequestered nature of the scene. Leaving Blair Castle in this, the north •east, direction, for the public road to Inverness runs within a short distance of the south side, one may wander through a range of moun tainous scenery for forty or fifty miles, or until reaching the eastern side of the Grampians in Aber deen and Forfar shires. The valley of Atholl, in the vicinity of the Castle, presents the same features as that around Taymouth Castle, or indeed the neigh bourhood of any great Highland territorial Lord ; the valley and lower elevations all showing manifold traces of art, enterprise, and wealth—the beautiful meadows skirted with wood running up from the bottom of the vale to the higher land, sometimes topping the lower hills and the dark rugged scene in the back ground, with one or two lowering mountains limiting the view, as if nature, in its rude and mag nificent domain, still scorned and defied the efforts of man with all the appliances of art. As this visit is to be of a quiet, private character, at least as far as a Queen can enjoy those privileges, Lord Glenlyon has endeavoured to impress this feel ing on the population in this quarter. No heather arches are to be seen along the road from Dunkeld, as at Taymouth two years since, nor is any demon stration anticipated beyond a few bonfires on the heights, and the reception by the 200 Atholl men, who are fully equipped and drilled for the occasion. There are halberdiers with Lochaber axes, and buckler men, as at Dunkeld in 1842, the main body being armed with the broadsword. Her Majesty's approach will be telegraphei from Dunkeld, and two small pieces of artillery, placed on a rising ground, within 200 yards of the Castle, will fire the royal salute. A few artillery-men have been sent from Leith fort for this purpose. Several marquees are to be placed on the lawn for the accommodation of the Highlanders. But so quiet did everything appear here last night, and along the road, that had it not been for the sight of dragoons quartered here and there, and busy clean ing their accoutrements, there was little indication that the Queen of England was to he in this reaiote quarter within a few hours. At the inns there was plenty of accommodation, but this evening the bustle will be greater. It may be recollected that.the Duke of Buccleuch was five years lessee of Atholl Forest, which he regularly hunted. His Grace will, there fore, probably aecompany the Prince in the deer stalking. Blair Atholl, Half-past Eleven, A.M. The day continues fine, and crowds of people are arriving from the neighbouring districts, almost all in their best native garb. Lord Glenlyon, fully equipped as a chief, with an attendant in the Highland costume, has just passed in his travelling chariot, on his way to meet the royal party. (From the Fifeshire Journal.) We have the pleasure of presenting in another column, to our readers, a full report of the gratifying proceedings which took place on the occasion of her Majesty's visit to Blair Atholl. Her reception, it will be seen, was most loyal, gallant, and magnificent —highly creditable to the city of Dundee and its authorities. We sincerely sympathise with our good brother of the Dundee Warder in the just indigna tion with which he has been tilled towards some of his contemporaries, who have been sneering at Dundee as a dirty hole, where our Queen could not place her most gracious foot, and declaring that she would never land there, go where she would. The Perthshire Advertiser declared that she must land at Perth, the beauty of the fair city being indisputable. The Aberdeen Banner scouted the very idea of a Queen of her Majesty's acknowledged good taste landing anywhere except at Aberdeen. But the Banner of Ulster (a paper famous for Irish black guardism, non-intrusion, and blasphemy) beat all these authorities hollow, and told her Majesty to call at Dublin—certainly a truly Irish way of getting to Blair Atholl Our brother the Warder—who is no fool, hut, on the contrary, has a considerable spice of the devil in him, and can say a wicked thing smartly enough when he is in an ill-humour (which he always is)—thus handles his presumptuous Free Church brother of Ulster:— "He thinks Dublin should have obtained the pre • ference over Dundee, and the selection of the latter the two ports are concerned. Kingston he knows to be vastly before Broughty Ferry, and Dublin immea surably preferable to Dundee, in all those adjuncts that render landing-places or cities agreeable.' Our Contemporary must confess, however, that Broughty Ferry and Dundee possess one decided advantage over Dublin and Kingston, inasmuch as they are in the line of the most direct route from 'Woolwich to Blair Castle, which the latter are not ; and as that happens to be the place of her Majesty's destination, this single property a great deal more than counter balances all the adjuncts' of which he boasts." It is somewhat curious, by the bye, that the whole of the papers which our brother abuses are Free Church papers. Such, indeed, is the hateful charac ter of this sect that, when they can get no decent person to ill-use, they fall upon and tear each other to pieces. We have frequently reproved them for their viciousness, but they take no heed to our ad monitions, nor even benefit by the example of good nature, benevolence, and politeness, which we heb domadally set before them. In fact, it is the nature of this people—" Can the Ethiopian," &c. Now, with regard to Dundee, we have this to say in de fence of her Majesty's conduct in going there, that though internally it is an ill-regulated town, yet the approach to it from the sea is admirable, and from the 'lay most beautiful—insomuch, that the Highlanders, who see it in this way when they come from Perth, call it, in the original language of Ossian, " The City of Beauty." But if the Queen would see Dundee In all its glory, let her get up to the beautiful hills of Fife about Balmerino, and look at it across the lovely Tay, where it lies like the vision of a city such as may he met with in a magnificent and happy dream. COURT CIRCULAR. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester returned to the residence of the King of Hanover on Thursday, after attending the ceremony of the nup tials of Viscount Grimston with Miss `eland.

Miss PEEL.—Letters were received in town yes terday from Drayton Manor, Staffordshire, dated Thursday evening, half-past six o'clock, giving a more favourable account of the young sufferer.

Very few men had greater versatility of imagination or power of satire ; and few indeed could commit their overflowing thoughts more easily to paper, ready for the eye of the printer and the critic. Not long ago, we heard Dr. Gillespie himself state, and state with some re gret, that many things from his pen were scattered, if not lost, without preserved duplicates. There is, however, a vast amounf of his writings, both in poetry and prose, extant in the magazines of the day, as well as in the newspaper press of Scotland, particularly in that of Fife and Dumfries. We have beside us, for next publication, a poetical communication from Dr. Gillespie so recent in its date as Monday last. To the Dumfries Courier he was at one time an occasional con tributor ; and his "Farewell to Cann veloseburn"—t he record of his last visit to hi, birth-place as it has hap pened, will long hold a place in the remembrance of his friends and admirers on the delightful banks of the Nith.

The following has been received at Lloyd's:— " Swedish and Norwegian Consulate-General, " London, Sept. 10, 1844. " Sir,—l have the honour to communicate to you the following translation of an ordinance issued by the Royal Naval Board at Stockholm, on the 13th August last:—The Royal Navy Board hereby makes known, for the information of mariners, that in conformity with an ordinance of the 7th July last year, a light ship will be placed off Falsterbo Reef, at the end of this or the beginning of next month. The vessel has two masts, with the sides painted red, with two large white letters, F S, on each side, and carries a red flag on the foremast. During the night the vessel will show two lights, so placed that the one cannot . easily exclude the other from sight, but they will appear aide by side when seen from either side of the light vessel, or when seen fore and aft one light will be close above the other, the highest in the foretop. These lights will burn from the middle of September to the Ist of December at such hours as arc fixed by the regulations for the other lights of the kingdom, and after the last-mentioned date the vessel will be removed. The light vessel will be moored in 81 fathoms water, and a full minute from the extreme point of Falsterbo Point (see Admiral Klint's chart), having Falsterbo Lighthouse N.E. on the compasses, and Stevenklint'a Light on Sjalland appearing W.N.W. IV. on the compass. There will be a large bell on board, which will be tolled during misty and hazy weather, to give notice to mariners. "These lights appear about fifty feet above the level of the sea, and ought, therefore, to be visible, in clear weather, at a distance of two German miles or more. Commanders of vessels wishing to take pilots through the Fluitchannel, to or passing Malmo, or to Drog den, and the places where Danish pilots take charge of vessels, are informed that there are fire pilots stationed on board, ready to attend, day and night, when signal is given for this purpose. The light vessel is moored in such a way that the largest ship can sail round her without risk in order to obtain pilot. If the pilot signal is flying at the top, pilots are always to be had, but the signal will be hauled down when they are all employed. " Should there be no other advice; and no ice prevent, it is intended to replace the vessel on the 15th of March, near to the same spot. (Signed) CHARLES TOTTIE. " To W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary." THE WINDSOR AND ETON HUMANE SOCIETY. — SWIMMING AND DIVING MATCHES.—A few days Since the members of this Society me a variety of prizes to be contended for on the Thames, above Windsor bridge, by lads from twelve to sixteen years of age, as an encouragemeet to induce them to perfect themselves in the useful knowledge of swimming and diving. The distances were marked by flags on either side, and in boats on various parts of the river. The banks were lined with spectators to witness the several trials of skill, which were superintended by the Rev. Stephen Hawtrey, of Eton College. At the conclusion of the matches, which were admirably contested, the judges and all those who had contended for the laurels (losers and winners) proceeded to Porney's school, at Eton, where the prizes were delivered to the successful com petitors by the Rev. S. Hawtrey, who, at the same time, delivered an excellent address, explaining that the ob jects the Windsor and Eton Humane Society has in view are that there may not be wanting, in cases of emer gency, persons in every way competent to render assis tance to their fellow-creatures in the hour of need. The prizes consisted of the Society's medals for the best swimmers, divers, &c. ; and other prizes in money. A " MAN-FACED" BIRD I-At Waiapu, in New Zealand, the natives speak of a monstrous animal, which is called a Moa, and which, in general appearance, is described to resemble an immense domestic cock, with the difference, however, of its possessing a " face like a man ;" to live upon air, and to be guarded by two enor mous tuataras, who, Argus-like, kept incessant watch while the moa slept. The Rev. W. Colenso, in the sum mer of 1841-2, obtained some mea bones, from which it is calculated that this extraordinary bird must have mea sured in altitude, when alive, at the lowest rate of esti mation, from 14 to 16 feet ! Thus, it must, have formed an enormous feathered monster, well worthy, from its gigantic size, of being classed with the Megalosaurus of Buckland, and the Mastodon of Cuvier. A mechanic, who had been residing at Cloudy Bay, in the Middle Island, asserted that this bird now existed in the high hills near Cloudy Bay ; and that one bad been seen by two Americans, who had gone to shoot it ; but were so petrified with horror when they beheld the monster that they were utterly unable to fire on it. Truly, this is a rera av i s in terris. Tisi HARVBST.—There are a few scattered plots of barley left uncut in the neighbourhood of Ashburton, and it is not yet fit for the sickle.

We have received the following from our cor respondent at Blair Atholl : BLAIR ATIIOLL, WEDNESDAY, 5 P.M. Her Majesty arrived here at a quarter past three to day, and was received at the principal entrance of the Castle by a body of Lord Glenlyon's clansmen, at tired in the Highland dress, who ran by the side of the royal carriage from the lodge up to the grand portico. Her Majesty's arrival was preceded by two of the royal carriages, containing servants and baggage, and shortly after three an escort of Scots Greys, commanded by Captain Griffiths, ap peared in sight, together with a travelling chariot and four horses, containing her Majesty and Prince Albert. Her Majesty appeared somewhat pale, but this may be attributed to the effects arising from the fatigue of a long journey, which her Majesty has, perhaps, not been able to support so well as usual on this occasion. The Prince looked remarkably well, and appeared to have been but slightly incommoded by the sea voyage. The travelling chariot, with its Royal occupants, was followed by four other vehicles containing the Princess Royal, Lord Liverpool, Lord Aberdeen, Lord Charles Wellesley, and the remain ing members of her Majesty's suite, including Lord Glenlyon, who had fallen in with the Royal cortege shortly after it left Dunkeld. On arriving at the principal entrance of the man sion, her Majesty was received by Lady Glenlyon, who was accompanied by the Young Master of Glen lyon and Mrs. Home Drummond, her Ladyship's mother. Four companies of forty each, consisting of his Lordship's clansmen, attired in the Highland dress, were drawn up by the side of the portico, Ao.i rrreptirm her Majesty with the pibroch; and the - effect of the native melody as it peeled through the glens and passes in the distance, considerably enhanced the interest of the scene. The clansmen were commanded by Lord Glenlyon, assisted by the Major of the corps, the lion. James Murray. The first company was commanded by Captain Drummond, with his Lieutenant, the Hon. W. Drummond; the second, by Captain Charles Drummond, with his Lieutenant, Sir David Dundas; the third, by Oswald of Dunnikier, with his Lieutenant, Kier of Kindroggan ; the fourth, by Stewart of Urrat, ith his Lieutenant, Butter of Fascaly, the owner of the magnificent mansion which is situated in one of the most picturesque spots in Scotland, just before entering the pass of Killiecrankie. Her Majesty appeared much pleased with the mani festations of loyalty with which she was greeted; and after addressing a few remarks to Lady Glenlyon, en tered the mansion, accompanied by Prince Albert. Within a few minutes, however, after the arrival of the royal party, the Prince came out into the front of the mansion, accompanied by his noble host, with Lord Aberdeen, Lord Liverpool, and Lord Charles Wellesley. His Royal Highness inspected the Highlanders, keeping his hat off as he walked through the ranks, a mark of cour tesy which will not be unappreciated by those fine fellows, and which evidently afforded them no small gratification. The clansmen then marched round before the Prince headed by the pipers playing the pibroch ; and then her Majesty app eare d a t th e window, and se emed much delighted at th e p i c t uresque appearance of her Highland subjects. (From the Caledonian Mercury of Thursday.) Blair Athol', Wednesday Forenoon. All is anxious preparation here, and although the hills were covered with mist in the morning, and the atmosphere rather dull and heavy, the day is now breakingout beautifully. U p to a late hour last night the Castle was filled with workmen, and in every direction on the grounds men were seen trim • ming the walks, mending fences, smoothing the roads, and in short, to use the cockney phrase, put ting matters into " apple pye-order.' A new en trance has been constructed for her Majesty nearly opposite the church, the gate and archway being entirely of larch ; and on either side a high pali sade of the same wood runs for a consider able way along the road, the whole having a simple rustic appearance, in fine keeping with the sur rounding plantations. The Castle itself is shorn of much of the grandeur of former days; from having been a great feudal keep with buttresses and towers, which frowned defiance on all around, it has degene rated into a substantia l mansion of th e l as t cen t ury , the portion of the ancient building which remains being lost in the modern innovations. It is still con solatory.that there are no pretension s t o f orma l archi tecture in the edifice —no attempt either at modern gothic patchwork, or the more elaborate graceful pro portion of the Elizabethan age. The whole presents a large range of building, the centre a plain right angled pile, and the wings, i f they can be alongg so designated, two storied ranges runnin way from either en d, and in From the size ofin opposit e d irec ti ons , zig-zag to the princip al buildi ng. these appendages, a s contrasted with th e C ast l e, one would imagine that the dep e ndants h uge l y outnum bered the principal s, for t hey are r egu l ar b arrac k s , an infantry re g i ment. Vi ewe d which would contain externally, the impression is, that her Majesty and the Prince and royal suite will have ample room for the subordinate part of the household, but will re quire to economise their own accommodation. Tay mouth Castle see ms a palace on the outside, and Blair Castle a hunting-lodge magnified four-fold ; but the interior of the last, as well as of the first, contains every appliance of luxury and comfort in common with Windsor Castle ; and those who have witnessed the Palace at Ostend, in which her Majesty and Prince Albert found gulden last year, will Lot be disposed to undervalue the capabilities of Blair Castle. In regard to the demesnes of Blair Castle—if that term can apply to the measureless extent of wild and varied scenery, all falling within the exclusion im plied—we can conceive nothing more adapted for a royal retreat. Within two minutes' walk of the hall door is the river Tilt running, or rather strug gling, through a rugged, precipitous ravine, the path , way, cut out o f the face of the cliff, placing the spec- COURT OF SEWERS. Yesterday a Special Meeting of the Court of Sewers for the City and Liberty of Westminster, and part of the county of Middlesex, was held at the office, in Greek-street, Soho-square, Thomas Leverton Donald son, Esq., in the chair. Mr. llAwx.fxs, assistant surveyor, read the general report, ordered by the Court of 31st August, on the practicability of Mr. John White's plan for sewers of an oval form, and its eligibility, as compared with that at present in use. The surveyors stated that although the form recommended by Mr. White was, in some respects, superior to that now adopted by the Court, especially as possessing a greater hydraulic depth of sewerage and a greater power of resisting lateral pressure, yet there were almost insuperable barriers to its common use, and they (the surveyors) had therefore brought before the notice of the Court two sections, combining, as they thought, what was best in the others. Mr. LESLIE moved that the report then read be printed, and that the sections be lithographed and laid upon the table, in order that Hon. Commissioners might have an opportunity of examining and comparing one with another. _ Mr. Joust Wurrr would second the motion, but he felt that he should be allowed to state his opinion, in the shape of a report, in order that it also should come before the Court at the same time, and in the same form, as the other. After some remarks upon the subject from the Chairman and some lion. Commissioners, it was agreed that Mr. White should forward his report to the Chairman, to be printed and discussed with the others on the following Friday. The CHAIRMAN stated that a letter had been re ceived from the Court of Commissioners for Holborn and Finsbury, which the Clerk would read. Mr. lIERTZLETT read the communication, which expressed, that in reference to the notice of the reso lution come to by the Westminster Court of Sewers, in the matter of the sewerage in the proposed new street from St. Giles's to Long-acre, and the further deepening of the line to suit the purposes of the Holborn and Finsbury district, they could not be jus tified in expending an amount of several hundreds out of their own district. They regretted the de-; t= which the Westminster court of Sewers had come, and cited the mode in which other Commissions of the metropolis—the City of London and the Tower Ham lets—were wont to act. They stated that these Commissions had deepened the sewerage to meet their views, and had never exacted any part of the expense. They trusted, therefore, that the Sewers Court for Westminster would reconsider the matter, and com municate again at an early period. The -CHAIRMAN said that the Holborn and Fins bury division had no just reason to complain of the resolution arrived at by that Court. They had already given that district the advantage of a level of eight feet where they at first only wanted five, but when they afterwards sought an increased depth of five feet more, then indeed they (the Court of Westmin ster) thought, that fi)r their own purposes, and theirs only, the Holborn and Finsbury district should bear the expenses of the increased digging. He was of opinion that it would he illegal for them to expend the money of the rate-payers for purposes not calcu lated to benefit them in the smallest degree; and it was no argument for them, that if other Commissions in London had acted illegally, they should do so also. Captain BaGun said that the argument might ba advanced by the Holborn and Finsbury district, " Why do you, who command the outl e t s t o the river, stultify us in this matter? It is for the public good, and not merely for the interests of one division of the City." He certainly thought it looked like one Court opposing another, and looked as if they were actuated by factious motives. If four Commissions out of five did not accept money under similar cir cumstances, he did not see why that. Court should do so. The CHAIRMAN denied, in the strongest manner, that that Court, in acting as they had done, were influenced by factious motives. Mr. W. DONALDSON briefly adverted to the corre spondence that had taken place between the Commis sioners, and denied that the llolborn and Finsbury dis trict had had anything to complain of. That Court had come to the resolution to improve the Charlotte-street sewerage, although for some years even that might not be necessary. They did so partly to meet the wishes of the neighbour district. He was of opinion that it would be decidedly illegal were that Court to tax the eastern division of Westminster for the pur poses of the Holborn and Finsbury district. The ex penses of the City of London, in granting their wishes, was comparatively trifling—very trifling indeed ; but in their case a very great expense would be thrown upon the rate-payers, and that, too, for a matter in which they had not the slightest interest. The CHAIRMAN had before stated that he thought such an expenditure of their funds would be quit* illegal, and he would ask the solicitor of the Court what his opinion was upon the subject. Mr. SMITH was of opinion that, by the statute, they could only tax the division for benefits accruing to themselves. It might be a question of fact whether that greater depth would be a benefit. Of that he was not a fitting judge. He had no hesitation in say ing that if the surveyor of the Court thought such an increased depth not required for the purposes of their own district, that such an expenditure would, for other purposes, be quite illegal. The CHAIRMAN suggested that Mr. Smith should take the opinion of counsel upon the matter. Capt. BAGUE thought it was absolutely requisite that he should do so. Mr. LESLIE was of opinion that they were quite enabled to come to a decision without troubling coun sel upon the subject. He found in t he re g ulation of the City of London Commission that the Holborn and Finsbury division paid them an annual rental of 1501. for the very privileges they were then discussing. After some further discussion, it was agreed that counsel should be consulted by Mr. Smith. The CHAIRMAN s aid that the next subject for th e i r consideration was one of ver y g reat importance. It was " the forms of contracts, specifications, and bills o f quantities, with the other steps necessary f or ob taining new contracts for works. The old forms of contract were laid upon the table by the surveyors. These were examined in detail, and a few verbal alterations were agreed to. Mr. SMITH, the solicitor, said, that before examining int 3 the sufficiency of the forms, it might be allowed him to draw their attention to the operation of the present bo nd. The old b on d o f contract was s i gne d b y six Commissioners for the Court generally, but these gentlemen, some thirt een years ago, too k a l arm a t the responsibility to which they were subjecting them selves, and withdrew in consequence. From that time the bond was drawn out as at present. An Hon. Commissioner, on a late Court day, expressed a doubt that, though the Court were protected by the articles of the bond, the contractor was not so, and it DEATH OF DR. GILLESPIE. It is with feelings of the sincerest regret that we announce the sudden death of Thomas Gillespie, LL.D., Professor of Humanity in the University of St. Andrew's—an individual well-known to the lite rary world for his many beautiful contributions to the poetry of his country, and known also to the classical world as an author and a teacher. Dr. Gillespie had been a few weeks in the country, at the house of Mr. David Tennant, schoolmaster of Dunino, enjoying the pleasing pastime of an angler, to which he was a great votary. In the afternoon of the 10th inst., when in apparent health at Dunino, he was suddenly taken ill, and though the assistance of Drs. Reid and Adamson was speedily had from St. Andrew's at seven o'clock, all was in vain, and he breathed his last at two in the morning. His loss will be felt as a severe blow by his colleagues, and also by a very wide literary and social circle. The Doctor had the rudiments of his education in the celebrated seminary of Wallacehall, in his own native wish of Closeburn, Dumfriesshire ; and, after pass ing the curriculum of the Dumfries Academy, long and justly noted among our Scottish seminaries, he enrolled himself as a student in the University of Edinburgh, with a view to the Church ; and, after making his way through the divinity hall with marked approbation, he obtained license as a preacher. A few years after, upon the presentation of the United Col lege, St. Andrew's, he was inducted as minister of Cults, in the Presbytery of Cupar, where, after the manner of the Spanish adventurer, be had the words of th• Roman poet carved over the portal— " Inveni portum, spes et fortuna valeta. Sat me ludistis, ludite nunc alios." his immediate predecessor in the ministry at Cults was the Rev. Mr. Wilkie, father of the late lamented Sir David Wilkie; and we have heard Dr. Gillespie condemn his own want of taste in having, upon his entering to the manse, unconsciously, in the cleansing process, washed away many rude drawings from the walls of the nursery, the work of the infant painter. Like a kindred spirit the Doctor had a great admi ration of the genius of Wilkie ; and in the course of his pilgrimage in Cults, he collected many interesting it z d „ /i.ev • ) , • -As 4 , v oc ; • , „ irti.Ni A L " : ; .41010•4,,,f/5t,410„hipak76,,..x4 g rAle , 9 * - 5 , , • ,'""c;i1 • „ t 0 D a 0 . ~~~-~~_ /~ WAS, therefore, advanced, that if a contractor failed in his contract, the bond would not hold good in law. Legal opinion had been taken on the subject, and it had affirmed that the bond was good. Mr. W. DONALDSON thought that counsel's opinion ought to be taken on the subject. lie did not think the bond was binding upon the contractor. Mr. SMITH did not think that any six lion. Cotn missioners signing the bond in behalf of the Court would be personally responsible, but he doubted, after past experience, if any would do so. Mr. BALDWIN would not hesitate for a moment to sign it himself. Ile had no doubt that the Court would support them. This ►luestion was, however, deferred, and the Court proceeded with the consideration of the forms for tender. _ A number of items were then sanctioned. On the question that " 12 feet 3-inch yellow second deals" be allowed to stand part of the form, Mr. LESLIE said that this was a most important item, and seeing an Hon. Commissioner (Mr. White) in his place, he would draw his and the Court's atten tion to it. When he had told that Court that an enormous quantity of money hail been overpaid for deal, what was the statement ? Why, that the mar ket price was paid. They found that there were two memorandums about the prices of wood at the bot tom of the old contract. Let them look at these closely. The statement given was that they had sent to one of the Commissioners for the prices of wood, and the prices he had stated were given to the con tractors. Mr. WurrE —I was asked for the market price, and I gave it. I never saw the article here, and Ido not know that it was required. Mr. LESLIE did not attribute any part of this trans action to Mr. White, but he must say that a more abominable fraud was never perpetrated upon the public or upon any Commission. Of two contractors, Mr. Bennett put in his tender for deal at 6d. a foot, and Bird at something higher ; and by the note bene already alluded to, they were enabled to get the one 271. a load, and the other 25/., for this article. The CHAIRMAN—The Courtwas certainly indebted to Mr. Leslie for the trouble he had taken in examin ing into the accounts. The state of thins he had de scribed was certainly wrong, but the question now was, how did he mean to correct their recurrence for the future ? Mr. LESLIE meant to put an end to them in this way. Let them contract for the worst wood in the market, and they would be sure to get it.—(Laughter.) He had heard Mr. White say that Lower-ford white spruce deal could be had for 141. a load, and they were paying for an article not so fitted for their work s 24/. They had paid their contractor above 3,0001. for timber, and of that sum it was clear that the public had been cheated of 3001. He had found out how it was so arranged, and he was glad that he had found it out, for in the first instance he certainly thought the surveyors were in fault, but he could now say how it had occurred. It had been arranged between two gentlemen—Commissioners they had been of that Caurt—he could name them, too, and the manoeuvre had been going on for thirty years.—(Hear, hear.) Could they now wonder at his not signing thecheque, or cautioning other Commissioners against signing it ? The CIIAIRMAN said it was a very wrong thing, and what the officers of the Court should have looked to. An LION. COMMISSIONER said that the thanks of the Court were certainly due to Mr. Leslie for his exertions. The remaining items were then agreed to, with some trifling► alterations ; but, before the Court broke up, Mr. LESLIE said he should wish to call their at tention to another circumstance, which might have escaped their attention, but had not escaped his. He found that the contractor, in express contraven tion of his contract, was charging and receiving Is. 6d. for carting away the rubbish. The CHAIRMAN—Why, my finger is now upon the contract, where it says that he is to cart away all the superfluous earth and rubbish at a given price, which is already allowed. How is it, ➢ir. Doull, that the contractor has been paid this sum ? Mr. DouLL—I thought it was according to the terms of the contract. Mr. LESLIE—Mr. Bennett charged it, and Mr. Douai) paid it.—(Laughter.) The CuAIRMAN—The contractor must pay back such moneys. Perhaps a notice to such effect will be entered by Mr. Leslie, and it will be transmitted to the contractor through the clerk. Mr. LESLIE moved a resolution to the above effect, and Mr. liertzlett was instructed to communicate with Mr. Bennett accordingly. The offers of contract were then ordered to be ad vertised in the newspapers, and the Court adjourned. BANK ISSUES.
