Maclean, another of those useful and valuable men who unostentatiotely and reseluteiy serve their country in comparatively subordinate slime ions, but chose abilities, j a cigmenr, and decision would Tit,lity them for the me t distitieuished peat=. Captain Maelran closed his valu able life at ('ape Coast, on the western coast of Africa, em the 22d of May lust. To most of eur readers Captain Maclean will, doubtless. be best remembered as the bus , bend of " L. E. L. ;" but, without at all underes.imati , g the geed •ortune of his marriage with that distinguish: d lady, he hail far more eulistaetial and independent claims on pudic attention and respect. Tee deceased was the nephew of General Sir J. Macltan, and, early io life, entered his relative's profes sion. After serving in the Waterloo campaign. Captain Maclean was draughted, after the peace, into the Roya: African Corps. From his first entrance into that force, he appears to have devoted himself to the study of African life, habits, and customs, and their relations to. rind bearings oii, the European settlements on that coast. This stun y, his cool, unbiassed judgment, his rare ability to appreciate accurately the feel ing with which barbarians regard their civilised neighbours, and his undeviating tact in conducting intercourse with, and in creating confidence amongst, the natives, enabled him to render perfect. He had nut been !Deny y, ars on the station, when the Colonial office, in despair at the disastrows consequences of the miserable Ashintve war, threat ned to abandon our ancient forts on the Gola Coast. This threat, if acted ten s would not only haze been a discouragement to our rising trade with the _coast, but must have proved an active stimulus to the slave trade. The merchants con nected with African commerce remonstrated against the intention; but all their remonstrances accomplished was, to induce the Colonial office to resign our forts there to them, with the paltry allowance of 3,000/. a year for their maintenance, Happily, for the preservation of •hese ancient possessieus, the committee of merchant., who undertook the duties abandoned by their Govern ment, nominated Captain Maclean to be pre.ident of the council appointed to rule these dependencies; and, on they early sum thus allowed, he restored their prosperity, gained comph to power over the water side tribes, made British influence felt where, before his arrival, the Bri tish name had scarcely been known, restored perfect amity and fre nd,litp between the forts and the neigh bouring kingdom of Aehantee, and drove the last rem nants of the slave trade from this, its most ancient and once flourishing bite; for which services, arid for the unbounded hospitality with which he received the officers of all nations whose vessels entered the road stead commanded by Cape Coast Castle, Capt. Maclean's salary was 5001. a year. The great secret of his influ epee over the natives was their implicit confidence in his sense of justice, and their knowledge of his resolution to repress all attempts to disturb the " balance of power" which he had established ; their general resort to him for the settlement of all disputes was unequivocal evi dence of the former; the signal chastisement he in flicted on the savage King of Apollunia will long be re tnembered as a most remarkable instance of the latter. And while thus saisfactary to the natives, his rule was equally popular with the European residents ; for this reason, it was governed by good sense and knowledge, not sentiment and quackery. No sooner, however, had Capt. Maclean accomplished these important results, than the Colonial-office became ashamed of its abandonment of its duties, and resolved again to bring the Cape Coast into immediate and direct dependence on the Crown ; but in taking this reso lution it exhibited its usual petty jealousy, for in stead of continuing the services of Carain Maclean as Governor, a naval officer was appointed to the Govern ment, and Captain Maclean was reduced to the position of judicial aesessor. Such, however, was his sense of duty and his fondness for the people whose happiness he had long promoted, that he accepted the interior office, and fulfilled its functions as thoroughly as he had previously those of the superior appointment. From the change to his death. he had the niortificaticn to witness the gradual declension of British influence on the coast, and the slow disturbance of those friendly relations he had established with the inferior tribes. His presence there doubtless prevented much mischief which would otherwise have overtaken his successors; but the inteli gene° of his death has created very serious apprehen sions forthe future amongst the London houses trading with the coast. During the greater part of Captain Maclean's resi dence in Africa he enjoyed excellent health; but it was evident to those who bad the happiness to enjoy his so ciety when last in England, that his return would be haz-adous. It was, therefore, with no very great sur prise that the news of his demise was received; but the grief thereat was as general as his acquaintance; and it is difficult to say whether Government has lost a more able servant, or society a more estimable member.—Ad vertiser.

Ailsa Craig, however, is by no means unconnected with the marvellous. Its history, if the legends of a remote age could he credited, is singular enough.

In pllolyi,ehdistwheaydetvo the north, ca r ry north, laden with a huge burden of these p on n her an i stones ficen t derous materials, he dropt Ailsa Craig by the way, and Dumbarton Rock farther up the Frith ! Strange work is attributable to his. Tartarean majesty. The foregoing is of a piece with the freak handed down by German tradition. Near Altenhurgh is a rock, which the united efforts of five hundred men could not move—the devil put it on his head for a hat, and carried it in triumph through the fields! But to return to our description—" From its soli tary and detached position," says Dr. Maculloch, this craggy ocean-pyramid " frequently arrests the flight of the clouds, hence deriving a misty hue, which more than doubles its altitude to the imagination ; while the cap of cloud which so often covers its summit helps to produce, by concealing its height, the effect —invariably in such cases—of causing it to appear far higher than it really is ; adding that appearance of mystery to which mountains owe so much of their consequence. What Ailsa promises at a distance it far more than performs on an intimate acquaintance. If it has nut the regularity of Staffa, it exceeds that island as much in grandeur and variety as it does in absolute bulk. There is, indeed, nothing, even in the columnary scenery of Ske, or in the Shiant Isles, superior as these are to Staffa, which exceeds, if it even equals that of Ailsa. In point of colouring, these cliffs have an infinite advantage ; the sobriety of their pale grey stone, not only harmonising with the sub dued tints of green, and with the colours of the sea and the sky, but setting off to advantage all the in tricacies of the columnar structure; while, in all the Western Isles, where this kind of scenery occur, the blackness of the rocks is not only often inharmonious and harsh, but a frequent source of obscurity and confusion. Nothing can exceed the magnificence of the columnar cliffs on the south 'west and western sides. Pile upon pile, tier upon tier, they rise, the in terstices and tops—wherever in fact the tiniest hold can be had—crowded with the nests of innumerable legions of sea-fowl. The din and delay created amongst these denizens of the rock, as the steamer en croached slowly on their domains, was quite astounding, In quick, long successive strings of thousands upon thousands, they came wheeling from their haunts, some taking circuitous flights at a distance, some plunging and leaping along the surface of the water which whitened into rough foam as they breasted it sharply aside, whilst multitudes hovered above the steamer. filling the whole atmosphere like flakes of snow—the hoarse screams of all fairly drowning the dash of the paddles and the snort of the waste pipe. The scene at this moment—the picturesque beauty of the birds, the gracefulness of their movements, and their variety of effect in light and shade, air and sea—baffles all description. The face of the cliffs, too, were swarm ing with the young birds, and reminded us strongly , of the description given by travellers of the multitu dinous-peopled shelves of a Chinese watching house after the birds have chipped the shell. Ailsa Craig is the property of the Marquis of Ailsa, and from it he takes his title as a British peer. The Craig is let for the purposes of fowling, fishing, &c. ; land Mr. James Davidson, the jut .111 gent tacksman, informed us that he usually begins his operations, aided by two or three assistants, iu the month of MaA, and during the whole summer is engaged alternatel% in taking the birds and in the cod and ling fishing off the rock. The birds, which are prized almost entirely for their feathers, are taken in two modes. Accord ing to the first, a large net is spread over the cliffs to which they resort, and left there. (Jn being visited at any time during the day, it is generally found that as many as will fill a sack or two have entangled hemselves in the meshes of the net, and the yowler nes nothing to do but to pick them out and dis patch them. A very different and much more perilous practice is resorted to for taking the birds which resort to the shelves of the perpendicular rocks—a plan, we suspect, copied from the customs of St. Kilda. Here, morning and evening, when the birds are quiescent, the tackaman or at, assistant is let down from the summit against the face of the rock by means of a rope, which is securely held by two people above. The man, thus dangling between ky and sea, is armed with a long pole, to which is attached a gin made of hair, and this he slips over the head of the slumbering goose or gull, draws tight the loop, and the business is done. The birds thus dis patched are cast down below, and picked up by the boat at leisure. The feathers are sold principally in Ayrshire and Glasgow for the stuffing of beds ; and, notwithstanding the immense numbers which are thus taken, the general mass never seems in any degree diminished—the feathered multitude in this sense being like the wave which " takes no furrow from the keel." In a month or so from this date, the birds have completed the purposes for which they became the tenants of Ailsa; they then leave in detachments according to their kind, and early in autumn, the myriads of solan geese, cormorants, puffins, links, and gulls have entirely taken their departure for other regions. The rock, however, is even then not with nut inhabitants, for in addition to great numbers of rabbits, between forty and fifty goats work hard amongst the cliffs for a decent subsistence. The rab bits are thinned during the month of January, when, according to the season, from 50 to 100 dozens are taken off the rock, and as their quality is generally excellent, they are great favourites in the market The tenant pays a yearly rent of 341., and seems quite contented with his dreary occupation, excepting at seasons when ill-bred persons come off from neigh bouring shores, and render all his labour fruitless by frightening the birds with the reports of their fire arms.—Ayr Advertiser.

The greet hindrance to the progress of the eastern districts his been hitherto their remoteness from the seat of Govern. ment, and great hopes are entertained from this new appointment. The Lieutenant-Governor had arrived at Graham's Town from his visit to bis Excellency Sir Henry Pot- Unger at Fort Peddle. Since Sir George Berkeley has assumed the command of the troops in Kafirland ali has remained quiet, and the whole country to the Buffalo was abandoned by the enemy. There is no intelligence from the front except the capture of 10 spans of oxen from Colonel Van der Wulen's camp at the Buffalo mouth. I; is supposed that these were taken by friendly Kafirs. . . The accounts speak favourably of the new post, and of the success that has hitherto attended the landing of sup plies. . A " general order," issued from Fort . Peddle, dated May 8, directs commandants of districts to give instructions to the commanders of posts in their respective districts to have their men butted, and tko , cemmissariat department is directed to afford ev,ryfaFi lity in furtherance of this object. The Lady Keith arrived off the Kleinmond on the 6th, warps were laid down, and on the 8,13, goods were succe.sfully lands d. The Chanticleer, iron schooner, T. Challis master, on entering the Kowie river, struck on the east bank and sprung a leak. All the cargo was saved exc,pi some 25 bags of sugar. The vessel was expected to be got off in a few days, Tne hull of a vessel, supposed to be the schooner Mon tagu, had beet washed up at the ea.t end of Chapman'. Bay. KENT AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR dm-li. Under the hot dry wrather or the last month the corn has been ripening rapidly, and the harvest will be gene rally commenced during the pr ese nt week, under the most tavoura'de prospect s . W e are now a ble to judge with some degree of accuracy as regards the condition of the crops to which we are looking for the supplies of another year. Wheat can hardly be an average c rop , in consequence of the want o f a fu l l p l an t in some of thr land, and the in9ggot blight which bas struck the clevel during formation. The prospects of a full crop of beans have been much lessen d this last fortnight by an attack of the dolphin, and the dry Weather is bringing them ti. a premature harvest. The early sown petis will pro duce an average crop, while the later sown are almost a failure. The barley is looking abundant crop. welly and generally p romises an The oats en strong and well cultivated soils will g row a full average crop, while those on poorer land a nd sown later, are very short in the straw. Most of the hay was got up in the 4 arty part of the month, in very fine order, but the quantity grown will not be more than half of last year's growth. The turnip crops must be a total failure, unless rain comes r , ry soon; there is not a suffi meta moit4ture in the ground to cause the seed to vege tate, much more to gi ow. The crops of marigold wurzel are looking well generally, but much in want of rain. Toe early crops of potatoes have been very good, and those that were planted later for the general crop have been looking well and free from blight, but are now beginning to suffer much from the want of rain. The hop plantations present a most luxuriant appearanee,and are *ikely to produce a full crop. There will be abun dance of filberts and apples in some districts, while others have partly failed. The inead.'w and pasture land is quite scotched up, consequently the stock is ver . % short of food, and in many places short of water al,o, which causes the stick to do oadly. The corn market has been very unsettled; the . prices for the next two months will depend much on the weather. The stock markets have been scantily supplied, consequently prices have been high.--Maidstone Journal --- PIGEON-SHOOTING. M A TCH BETWEEN LORD 4 HIINTINGFIELD AND MR. GANN", 100 ASIDE.--The Red House enclosure was c rowded on Tuesday, by a numerous muster of the amateurs of this peculiar trial of the trigger, to witness the above match at 100 birds each, 21 yards rise. The s hooting began about two o'clock, and after the first 25 birds were disposed of, th,, score stood—Mr. Gannon (who is best known by his shooting soubriquet of Calir 16; Lord Huntingfidd. 19; the latter three birds ahead.

THE CONDEMNED . CONVICT AT LINCOLN The s!att-inent that nas gone forth rcspectiy: g th e ex cutn•ti of Mary Ann dither, at LiLeohl, on Friday last, is in correct. The unfortunate woman hung herself in her cell a few hours betore the appointed time. An inquest was held on the body on the following day, and a verdict of fele de se was returned. The error arose through the officials at the gaol allowing a report to be circulated that Millner had been privately executed in the walls of the prison.

(Continued from our Atternoon Edition of yesterday.) Lord R. GROSVENOR then came forward to address the elector; and was received with -loud 'cheers. He said— Brother electors, and gentlemen here assembled, I nave been advised , by some of my friends who are here around me, and who are getting a little impatient, to say to you—gentlemen, here I am ; nobody has attacked me for anything I have done '• I held the same opinio n s that I did before—(Ch e e rs )— an I, then, gentlemen, to make my bow and retire, leaving my place to the next speaker. But, gentlemen,. I hardly think that such a course would be respectful to you—(Cheers) —and, gentlemen, not being gifted with the power of tl.e lungs possessed by my Hon. and Gallant Friend who has just addressed you--(Laughter)—pr my Hon. and late Gallant Friend—for he is now no longer in the army— who is also about to address you, and whose speeches I have often heard with great admiration:--:(Cheers)—l must ask your silent attentionfor the few minutes that I shall have to trespass upon you. Now, gentlemen, lam somewhat in the situation of the celebrated hero ot the Beggars' Opera, Captain Macheath—(Laughter)— because, alter the speeches of, my.. Honourable Opponent, and the other gentleman you have heard, I suppose neither desire to have the other as a colleague, whereas, as I am informed, neither of my Hon. Friends have any objection to me.—(Cbeers and laughter.) Therefore, gentlemen, lam in that enviable position that I can reconcile both Polly and Lucy—(Re newed laughter)— who stand on each side of me. Gen tlemen, it seems but the other day since I had the honour of appearing before you. I quit e a d m it t h at I appear on the present.occasion under very different cir cumstances. At that time the snow was falling in very cooling showers. I wish we had some cooling showers at the present moment.—(Laughter.) The assemblage was very • select," and • everybody around was quite peaceful and unanimous. Now we are assembled under a burning, under a meri dian sun, and, as a man of peace, I have the happiness of saying, that in neither party have I an enemy of any sort ; yet, nevertheless, I find myself involved in all the horrors ot war.—,..Laughter.) Now. gentlemen, I certainly have not been much attacked, but when shots and sheds fly about in all directions it is nut easy to know when one's head .may be taken off— (Laughter) —and I am aware that I owe the peculiar immunities of my position, not at all.froin any tre sits ot my own, but from the circurnst•inces which a tt en d t h e present contest.. Now I' have made my professions well al, the others, and when I was here last year I math some professions to - which I wish now to refer. I beg trays at this moment to cull' your attention to them, and I wili very shi'rtly ask your opinion whether, since - we met, I have endeavoured to act up to those professions.—(Cries of " Yes," and cheers.) I stated to you, gentlemen, at that time, what I need not tell you ; that I was a free trader.—(Loud cheers.) Now, the painful calamity that tell tin this empire prevented the country from following up so rapidly,as it wished to do that reduction of the custom duties so ably begun by the predecessors of the present Government; but I had great pleasure in voting tor a committee to inqifire into the operation of the na vigation-laws.—(Cheers.) I ant most, anxious that the whole nature of those laws, and their influence upon commerce, should belaid before the people, and that the) should be accurately understood. Don's imagine that I for a moment wish to underialue 'the importance of a commercial marine, becausei belieire that our maritime greatness depends upon the efficiency of our commercial marine ; but there are anomalies in 'these laws, which, it is admitted on all hands, prevent the free circulation of our shipping, and which ought to be repealed.— (Cheers.) Nuw, gentlemen,. I must say that no con siderations of revenue ought, in my opinion, to prevent the immediate reduction of the duties upon tobacco.— (Laud cheers.) I think it impossible that the malt-tax can be repealed now, but all these subjects must come under consideration ; but,. tobacco is exception to the rule, because I. am certain a considerable reduction of duty upon that which may bo truly termed the luxury of the poor— (lmmense cheering)—l am certain a considerable re duction of the duty will, instead 'of diminishing the revenue, benefit it.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I also think that but a short time must elapse before the window-tax must be repealed. It is unnecessary fur me to declart to you the exceedingly injurious nature of the operation of that tax upon the whole community. In support of this tax many people said that the tax was paid only by a certain number of houses, sod that the houses of the poor are exempt, but the poor, instead of being exempt, were the greatest sufferers from its operation, because the reasons they will not make themselves 'liable to the impost which they could not afford to pay is this—that they will have less of light, less of air, less of ventilation, but which, if this tax did not exist, they would be the . first •to avail themselves of.—(Lou' cheers). Many people are talking about improving the sanitary condition of towns—(Cheers)—bat, surely. In the arrangements making for this parpose.the fall of the window -tax should be amongst those 'things which as Improved system or supervision would put an end to. 1 . confess I think the Chancellor of the Exch ,a Right Hon.

Yet the Bill, when they thought it on the point of passirig, was rejected, but he had seen this happen more than once with respect to measures which he had subse quently- eeen carried. Ile had voted for the Health of emortins nil me nisi btinnm Towns Bill with great pteasnre, b ut h e :slight say of it— • li which, freely translated; ant "P c' " e,...e to its ashes . ;" he hoped in.ariOther s session it would ri-e i cetex• like from its ashes',.anef that, after' being that it ,would not preve nt l oca l and central might 4a s l om nt p r r o c l, v l e i d t would pass Into a ?acv.—(G ear , h ear.) offence to some by sayi ng t h at he voted wih great gl'e oir.asure, for a grant of 100,0001. tor the education ofthe people--(Cheers;--and 'might • state with truth th at the minutes of the Privy Council were formed with tht earnest desire of being impartial to.every denemination of professing .Christiens.—(Cbeers.) . The Church might find fault with him, .but he..comidered is quite possible that that system of education might be purely secular, - (Cheers.) He held that opinion, lung ago, and when the Whig Government,, some years ago, proposed a grant of mohey to. a Normal • school, gip.ter Hall blazed up and the House of Com mons was inundated with petitions 'from both Church men and Dissenters against 'the proposition, and after such opposition a Minister would have been insane if - he had brought in any measure other than the one he had—one palatable to all sects of the people, and he trusted that they had laid the f;undation of a general scheme of education co much ~ouglit after. -He asked if he h-d not acted up to the proqqationS he had made. In the ehctions throughout the country, turn had been ask. d to pledge therasetv. a n.-t to vote one .tartitiiirgoatiiirm: underh, en duwment of the Roman Cathode, clergy if any circumstances. ~No one, profeio . ,d to bring 'such a proposition forward, and again, there was, a loud call ior the s. Aeration of Church and State ; but he doubted much whether many In the crowd, himself. included, knew what this meant.—(Laughter) All he could say was, that he 'would not brine in a measure ot the kind himself, but at the same time he did not consider that the endowment of the Rowel Catholic priesthood would be sinful. Notwithstanding 'the " home corres pondence," he would not . pledge himself on the subject. The whole subject of Church property would lie brought under review next-- session —(Cries of " That's the ticket")—and he trusted they would be able, by a better distribution of that. property, to .render that Church more efficient ; but so long as the Church did its duty he would not vote for the extraction of a single shilling from her; but he trusted they weuld distribute the reve nues in such a way as to afford the working clergy a sufficient stipend,- for their labours. After some further observations, the'Neble Lord concluded by trusting that • he should be re elected, and retired amidst loud cheers. Mr. RAUH OSBORNE then presented -himself, and was received with loud Cheers and the waving of hats. He said he hoped, •on this occasion, that he should not be considered the political Polly to whom reference' bad been -made.. He had the highest respect for Colonel Wood; but he considered that the opinions he supported were not those professed by a majority of the constituency.—(Cheers). 'J'he state of the county representation during the last ten 3 ears had been of the most " humdrum" style, as one Whig and one Tory had been elected to neutralise die effect of each other's votes—(Cheers)—and they could not deny that on this occasion there :had - not been an attempt to compromise the county' 7 -(Cries of `• Yes, yes")—and he asked, therefore,. the, electors if they were prepared:to allow the great county of Mid dlesex to degenerate into such places as Old Gatton and Sarum?—(Cheers.) And he told them frai,kly that in default of a better matt he had edme forward at the eleventh hour in order to give them an opportunity of recording by their votes that such a compromise did not exist. He was in favour of giving pledges-to a certain extent, but he could not forget the fatal blow which had been given to public confidence by men voting at the end of their career diametrically opposite to the course they had :formerly .adopted.—(Cheers.) Why Ca:holic emancipation was carried by. the very men who were pledged to oppose it (Renewed cheering)—and they , should recollect new that they pledged themselves Ir. 1841 as the supporters of pro tecion, and as the 'farmers' friends had deserted their principles, as the corn-laws were carried by those men who stated the contrary on all the hustings in the king dom, and who upset - Lord Jdlin Russell's Government on that very point, tend when the Noble Lord, in 1841, propounded a scheme for the repeal of the corn laws, and for the reduction of the - duty on. sugar, and for the revisal of the whole system of taxation, Co lonel Wood voted in the majority of 112 which turned out Lord John Russell and the. then Free trade Ministry. lie did not-consider that he deserved. the term of a poli tical apostate, but he was of a ductile mind.—(Laughter.) In 1837, the Gallant Colonel protessed principles diffe • rent from those whiCh he announced in 1847. In 1837 there was not a breath whispered about a repeal of the corn-laws. but on the contrary, fin. - he professed him self the farmer's friend; and if the same course Was pursued with •respect to t e• Church, he would say, God defend him from his friends."—(Cheers ) He had no hesitation in telling them what course be would pursue on the subject ot endowments. Colonel Thomas Wood appeared to be ilichned.to the endowment of the li,,man Catholic Church in Ireland, but he had spoken with ainingu:ty. He (air. Osborne) was opposed to the payment of any church from the fonds of the State. lie lied voted against the grant of 39,900/. to the Presby terians of the North of Irelaiid, because he was opposed to all endowment on principle.—(Chess's.) The system of - taxation would be °tie of the first snbjects which would be considered by the Legislature.—(Cheers.) He bad voted against the imposition of the incomdtax, 'and he did so because he thought that income from trades should be team+ in the same way that income from land was. It was his wish to , -ce a graduated property-tax-establish, d. If returned to Parliament, he would vote for the repeal of the wii.clow.. tax ; and he thought. there were other modes of keeping up the revenue without imposing uniair burdens on the tradesman. He was in favour of direct taxation. He wished to repeal the.. duty ,on tea, which was necessary to 'the people of the country. Be was a mem ber of the Church, but was opposed. to any further en dowment. He bad but one motto inscribed on his banner, and that was . " The Sdrereignty of the People." —(Cheers.) Ile had not. voted pith Colonel Wood in favour of additional'lnshopszthat 'Gallant Gentleman concluded his Parliamentary career for Middlesex by voting for more bishops.—(Cheers.) The surplus revenues • of- the' Church 'should -be given to in crease the • stipends • of -the poorer • clergy, and not to the increase of the number of bishops. There were so many, subjects on which he -had addressed the electors during the last week, that it was unneci ssary for him to trespass at any length on their time or patience. It had been asked," Whp is Mr . Osborne?" and he hoped the electors of Middlesex would give the same answer to ibis question that had been iven to Mr. G. Thompson in the Tower Hamlets. He wo uld tell 'them that Mr. Osborne was not one that would change his mind and give no tpportU nity tO the electors to express their opinions.
