(1, Palcß SD. CASE OF ABDUCTION AT MALTA. The " gentlemen of the longrobe" at Malta have been busily engaged in a case which, from its novelty and the distress which it is likely to occasion to the already injured father of the young lady, has s d e t r h e e at sze ac i rious worldly prejudice to this lat ter, very considerable sensation. The case was tried in the Civil Court, before Judge Grunge, on the 11 th of August. Dr. Adrian() Dingle, advocate s with Mr. William John Stevens, solicitor, appearing for the plaintiffs, Misses Sophia and Sarah Anna CiaoTloll, keeping a school at Valetta, and the Advocate Dr. i Augostino Spiteri, a n d M r . William Stevens, soil citor, for the defendant, Mrs. Emma, the divorcee; wife of George Savage Curtis, Esq., of Teignmouth, Devon, the lather and mother respectively of the young lady abducted, Miss Ellen Curtis. Both plaintiffs and defendant appeared in Court. the former having a host of friends, among yawn were observed Captains Rich and WilMot, R.N., the Rev. Sir Cecil Bishop, the Rev. Mr. Hare (chaplain to the forces), Commander Mends, R.N., the Rev. John Cleußh (chaplain to Government), and Dr. F. F. Sankey, K.N., From the opening addreas of the counsel gx the plitiae till's, it appeared that Mr. Curtis, a gentleman of for• tune, and having live dmghters, had at the close of last , year been constrained to seek, . and actually obtained, a legislative Act for the revocation and annulustinst of his marriage with Emina, the daughter of Sir William Curtis, Bart. ; that soon after he deemed it advisable to remove his three youngest daughters to . Malta, and before leaving for Lisbon, placed them its the highly-respectable scholastic establishment of the Misses Cannon. That the Misses Cannon had ree ceived strict injunctions from the father to allow of no intercourse, even by letter,- between the young ladies and their mother, or any others, though whom it was supposed she might seek to correspond with them; in reference to which injunction the father had addressed a letter to his children from the Tagus, calling upon-thou' to give a written promise that they -would strictly and inviolably obey the same, which, he pointed out to them as affecting their future welfare and happiness beyond what they could imagine, which promise was signed by the three sisters, and dilly forwarded to the father. Matters, remained in this state until the evening of Frids7;, the 6th of August, when one of the plaintiffs, iii crossing with the three Misses Curtis, and three other young ladies, their pupils, from Valetta to Sliema, in a terry boat, manned by two men, to take their accustomed daily exercise, were about mid-channel passed by a man-of-war's gig, pulled by several hands, steered by a naval officer (whom they subse quently ascertained to be Lieutenant Baker, come mending her Majesty's steam-packet Ardent), and having in the stern-sheets two females in mourn ing, which, shooting a-head, landed the parties a few minutes before Miss Cannon and her pupils. That on coming up to them Miss Charlotte Curtis recognised her mother and maid, as the two females who had landed with Lieutenant Baker, whereupon Miss Cannon, until then unaware of the fact of Mrs. Curtis being in Malta, hurriedly retraced her steps with her pupils, and embarking in the same ferry boat from which they had just previously landed, desired the waterman to pull quickly to Valetta. Lieutenant Baker, with Mrs. Curtis and her maid, followed their motions, and the gig pulled hard in pursuit, over taking them about mid-channel, when Lieutenant Baker hailed—" Miss Cannon! I have in my boat the mother of the Misses Curtis," and one of the gig's crew putting out a boat-hook, forcibly detained the ferry boat, when Lieutenant Baker demanded, itx the name of Mrs. Curtis, the-delivery up of the three Misses Curtii, with which demand Miss Cannon refused to comply, protesting that they had been confided to her charge and protection by Mr. Curtis, whose authority alone, and no other, could she acknowledge. Lieutenant Baker offered to assume all the responsibility, and, aided by the maid servant, strongly urged Miss Ellen Curtis to pass over into the gig, whereupon Miss Cannon again protested against such a step, reminding the young lady of her recent written promise to her father, which she was in duty bound to maintain. Lieut. Baker and the maid, on the other hand, sought to impress upon the young lady that her duty was to obey her mother's wishes ; and on Miss Cannon's remonstrating, Lieutenant Biker made many rude remarks, in disearagement of Misa Cannon's authority, and finally pros-e 'ed, with the ssist.lnce of the maid, to raise Miss Ellen Curtis from her seat, when she appealed to Miss Cannon in great grief, as to what course she should pursue, who pointed out to her that her duty required her to re main where her father had thought proper to place her. Eventually, however, Mi , s Ellen Curtis stepped over into the gig, notwithstanding the remonstrances of Miss Cannon, Lieutenant Baker asserting that he had in his pocket documents to justify the course he wie , pursuing. An attempt was then made to induce Miss Charlotte Curtis to follow her sister's example, hut she held out ; and on Miss Cannon asking the young lady to declare whether she was to understand that she (Miss Eden Curtis) was a willing and con senting party to what was going on, she gave for answer that she wished merely to see her mother, and not to go away.with her; on hearinz which, after looking at her watch, Mrs. Curtis and Lieutenant Baker promised that Miss Eden should be returned to the Misses Cannon in the course of three hours time. Miss Cannon threatened to report the matter to the officer administering the government, a threat which was met by Lieutenant Baker with an order to the crew to pull for Vi.letta Harbour. Application was immediately made. to the police, the acting in spector of which repaired to the hotel at which Mrs. Curtis was discovered to be staying, and where she had been only a few days, having landed from the Ripon, from 'Southampton, on the 31st of July, on board of which vessel her passage was taken under the assumed name of Mrs. Charles, and under which name she was reported to the marine police on land ing. Bat the endeavours of the Misses Cannon to regain their charge proved fruitless ; and after offi cially reporting to the Rear-Admiral commanding the conduct of Lieut. Baker, there was no other alterna tive than to institute a civil suit for the delivering h up of the young lady, first, that the * On the of the defendant exceptions wereta ho e she being a min k or o consulted, : must young lady, whose wishes . should that she was be a party to the suit; secondly,deter mined to remain with her mother ; thirdly, that she vas not a minor ; and, fourthly, that though an agreement had been entered into, owing chiefly to irregularities in the conduct of Mr. Curtis, for him and Mrs. Curtis to live apart, still this was no no divorce; and that this latter lost not in conse quence the right or control over her children. In support of the case, two of the pupils, who were in the boat, as well as the two watermen, were called by the plaintiffs, and they deposed to the main facts of the case. The strong injunction of the father that the daughters should not correspond with their mother, and the fact of the written promise Int made the out by a letter from the father to histedawurgrktrs. proof of the divorce existed in a " to the plaintiff, Curtis had thought proper to address tted.

The only witness examined for the defendant was the servant „ m ad, the drift, of whose evidence was t o esta bli s h that the yonng lady had left the boat spon taneowly and of her own free will, without perms. sion or force being used, and that whilst Lieutenant Baker took no active part in the matter she (the witness) had only held out a helping hand to assist Miss Ellen in stepping from one boat into the other. The Court gave judgment is favour of the plain tiffs, condemning Mrs. Curtis to deliver up to them the young lady, to be by them re-conducted to their dwelling, there to remain under their charge until such time as Mr. Curtis, the father, might think proper to give other directions, or make other provi sion in the matter. From this decision an appeal was immediately lodged by the defendant, who also entered an action to suspend the execution of the sen tence pending the appeal ; but on the part of till' plaintiffs, every possible judicial measure has. bell n resorted to to impede the carrying off fromtlifisland of the abducted party ; to strengthen which tnpedi. meat, the military, naval, and executive authorities, have lent every possible a w as nd seed a ssi or hearing on the : The case in the appeal fi f 16th of August.

Wit!. "yractizal Observations on the Treatment of Nervous Debility, .cal and Constitutional Weakness, Syphilis, Stec' ure, and other (11,ett4p,„ By SAMUEL LA'MERT, CONSULTING SURGEON, 9, itedforo 7 street, Bedford-square, London; Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorer! Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apo`. teearies' Ball, London, &c.,.&c. o PAPE R S av o e e n T ot ui e s ia n ps a e v d . since the President of the U ni t e d S tates communicated to the American Congress the intelligence that they were engaged in a war on their south-western fron tier. The motives which impelled Mr. Polk to the origination of so serious an incident in the annual register of a nation were very candidly di sc ussed at the time. It was assert e d th at the war arose from a source little more respectable than the imperfect win dow at Tri anon, or the cup of tea on Mrs. Masham's gown. It was said that the President desired by some signal exploit to endear his term of office so deeply to his constituents, that they would be loth to see the termination of so glorious a reign ; that he wished to identify his administration with gratifying victory and profitable conquest, and that he expected to divert or overbear the remonstrances of political dissent and the chances of a possible rival by the spoils or songs of a triumphant expedition. We are by no means of opinion that the end is come by which such actions are judged. But as our corres psndence of yesterday spoke a little more pointedly than usual as to the prospect s o f peace, let us compute for a moment the gains of the war, upon the suppo sition that the three million dollars have secured the assent of the Mexican authorities, and that the Mexi can authorities can command the submission of the people. Mr. Polk looked for a short campaign and a summary surrender. He dreamt, like Napoleon in l 812, of deputations and offerings, of cessions and spoils. He thought to acquire a province at the cost of a parade, and to discover a new planet for his star spangled banner without a mentionable expenditure or labour or time. Now, supposing that the next dis patches should bring the actual intelligence of a treats on the specified basis, the account will run thus : The Americans have been subjected to the drain of an eighteen months' war on a far more ruinous scale than any of their recent armaments. No very close approximation has yet been made to the precise amount of the penalty thus incurred, but it is ad mitted on all hands that it has gone far to postpone that revision of the American tariff, to which pre vious experience was leading, which was so em phatically called for by the reforms and prospects of other states, and which would have spoken so power ful!) for trans-Atlantic wisdom amongst the people of Europe. Instead of a conquest, Mr. Polk can only point to what by the most favourable appellation must be termed a compromise. Instead of enriching the Exchequer, or reducing the burdens of the country, he has retarded, it may be for years, its opportunities of sage experiment or enlightened re form. At an early period of the war, it was indus triously set forth that Mexico would indemnify her conquerors for the expenses which they condescended to incur ; but as this claim gradually became larger and larger, it was proportionately withdrawn from notice, and such impracticable arrangement no longer figures in any sketch of the preliminaries. Six months ago, before the battles of Vera Cruz, the ad vance to Puebla, or the dispatch of reinfor cements, the costs of the war were stated in Congress by a calculating Senator to approach 30,000,000 of dollars. By the same estimate the marketable value of Cali fornia was set down at 15,000,00 0 . Omitting, there fire, the intermediate accumulations of expenditure, and stating the case in a form most familiar to trans- Atlantic capacities,:it may be said that America has exposed herself to the hazard of disgrace and the reprobation of Europe for the sake of purchasing an unnecessary commodity at twice its worth. But this is not all It is notorious that the United States can receive no considerable acceasion of ter ritory without the agitation of a question which may involve the most momentous results. A large and powerful portion of the union is resolved that slavery, if it cannot be abolished in the states where it is at present legalised, shall at least never be in troduced into any newly-annexed province ; and the energy displayed in such matters on our own shores may lead to a pretty safe inference as to the obsti nacy with which this not unreasonable point may be insisted on abroad. On the other hand, it is alleged and declared with equal violence that slave labour will be more than ever indispensable in bringing under cultivation a prolific but encumbered soil, promising abundant returns, but demanding extra ordinary outlays of capital and labour. The best informed prophets of this dispute are unable to an ticipate its decision, but it has been very pal pably hinted that the eventual disruption of the union and the formatian of two separate and hostile powers on the North American continent, may be the consequence of so inveterate a dissen sion. Other anticipations combine with this pros pect to bring the policy of Mr. Polk into almost universal suspicion. Instead of extinguishing oppo- sition by the dazzling splendour of conquest and the emollit-tit importation of plunder, he has raised up by the events of war a formidable rival to his own fame. He has given his adversaries an inexhaustible topic of invective, disheartened his friends by the falseness of his position, and determined the course of neutrals by the ill success of his speculation. That quite so mis chievous a result was to be apprehended from the be• ginning, we do not say was probable. It was, per haps, not easy to calculate on the operation of the several substitutes for patriotism and valour which have befriended the Mexicans. But very few persons will be found, we think, to lament the disappoint ment of such unholy hopes, from whatever cause arising. A philosophical historian would hardly be dissatisfied with the moral of the chapter as it at present stands ; but we do not conceal our suspicions that the catastrophe may possibly have yet to come. The arguments which are said to have reached Santa Anna must necessarily be limited to a narrow circle of converts. But a short time ago it was announced that the Mexican Congress had refused to assemble or to debate ; that they had refused to delegate the power of the Executive to another, or to exert it themselves, and that Santa Anna would be left to a self-conferred dictatorship or to utter incom petency. That he and his fellow proselytes m ay pro claim the termination of hostilities, is not unlikely, if his disposition has been fairly represented in the last reports ; and, perhaps, such timely compact may en able General Scott to decamp from La Puebla with the honours 'of peace. But there still remain the feelings of an invaded and exasperated nation to be cajoled or subdued, and this task, not always very practicable to more efficient administrations, may pos sibly be beyond the strength of that faction or coali tion which is termed the Government of Mexico. " There are two things," says a noble historian, " which are generally popular in their beginning; the first is a war, the second a peace Mr. Polk s war certainly claimed its share of favour ; but though his peace may undoubtedly demand the welcome which the lesser evil always deserves, we think it will pass even his ingenuity to represent it as an advan tageous bargain or an honourable conclusion. CHRONICLE.—The failure of the Governor of the Bank of England has given rise to a good deal of discussion upon the principles according to which the Bank managers are chosen. The eve nt which has just occurred being unfortunately by no. means un precedented, it will not be surprising if the public becomes persuaded that there is something wrong in a system which is, from time to time, found to subject the most important mercantile interests to the discretion of individuals who are themselves strug gling with pecuniary embarrassments. For our own part, we believe that such a change in the con struction of the board of directors as would secure a firm and judicious application of certain principles in the conduct of the Bank business would he a practical and valuable reform, and that it would remove every pretence for the continuance of the existing restric tions upon the circulation ; but we are unable to see how any advocate of those restrictions can make out a greater right in the public to overhaul the manage ment of the establishment in Threadneedle-street, than to prescribe rules to its neighbour the London and Westminster, or to any house in Lombard-street. We do not think there ever was a more erroneous, or a more superficial notion, than that which represents the Bank of England as a private money-dealer, bound only by the considerations which govern all other traders in capital. This notion, however, was most distinctly maintained in advocating the separation of the Bank into two departments, and it has been prac tically realised, so far as it could be, by the present law. The issue of notes is as completely cut off from the business of the Bank as if the former operation took place at Whitehall and under the control of Government commissioners. The Bank directors have to manage a business differing from that of other bankers only by its prodigious extent. They have to trade upon the capital of their proprietors and depo sitors, and no obligation, either expressed or im plied, by law requires them to look to the public interest where it does not happen to coincide with their own. In short, one of the most frequently urged arguments in favour of the present system was, that it would at once strip the Bank directors of a dangerous discretion, which had been often abused, and leave them no functions to discharge but those which might be safely e n t ruste d to men acting with the motives and the intelligence of ordinary traders. If this theory were admitted, it would be absurd to demand a change in the system of the Bank direction upon the ground of its being required by the interests of the public. The only legitimate consideration would be, whether the in terests proprietors- - required it, and to pro. ... prietors it might be safely left to take the measures -equisite for the protection of those interests. It has now, however, become pretty obvious, that no theory, or law, which attempts to place the Bank ,f England on the footing of a private establish inent can be stricly carried out without entailing very 4erious mischiefs upon the mercantile community. The operations of the Bank, even within that sphere in which it has an unfettered discretion, are upon ,o vast a scale that they affect the welfare of the whole nation. The London Money Market is the 2:reit heart whose beatings regulate the circula tion of capital through all the ramifications of our industry ; and though the Bank of England is but one of the dealers in that market, it exercises, from various causes, an immense power over the proceedings of all the other dealers. The power thus possessed may be so used as either to aggravate or to diminish the fluctuations in the value of lisposable capital ; and it is with reference to the -xercise of this power that the interest of the whole ..ornmunity sometimes requires a surrender of profit by the Bank. It is for the good of the community - hat the fluctuations in the rate of interest should never, if possible, be sudden or violent, and that mer cantile calculations which extend over a considerable pace of time, and which include this element, should 'lot be liable to complete derangement from its un o.ertainty. A steady use of the power of the Bank of England, however, for the purpose of moderating the alternations in the value of money, would require a kind of regard to the distant future which has never been considered necessary by the Bank directors. 'Neither under the old system nor under the new have they ever thought it necessary to anticipate. Their system has been to wait for the action of the public, and never take measures to meet such em oarrassments as those caused by drains of gold until the bullion has been flowing out in a full tide. But a statesmanlike anticipation of the future is the very quality which the public welfare most requires in the Bank direction. From the Bank ought to have come first the warning against undue absorption of floating capital in railways, and from the same quarter we )ught to have had the first intimations of a probable 'rain of gold on account of extensive purchases of foreign corn. To secure this regard to the future in the Bank direction, it would be very ad idvisable to have at its head a more perma nent officer than the Governor is under present regue lations, and it would be still more desirable that that ifficer should be a person not actually engaged in commerce. Commercial experience, indeed, is essen tial, but a good:deal more than commercial experience is wanted, and we think it is not too much to say, that in certain kind of political knowledge and saga city is absolutely essential to wise and safe manage ment of the Bank. This subject is well worthy of the consideration of Ministers, and they would earn and receive the gratitude of the mercantile :ommunity, if, by the removal of unwise restric tions and establishment of a better system of Bank management, they could place the country in a better position for overcoming its present difficulties. The management of the Bank of France, though we would not hold it up as an example to be copied, is deserving of consideration. It has a governor and two deputy-governors, appointed by the Crown. This regulation was introduced by Napoleon in 1806. Attempts were made to alter it under the Restora tion, but without success. Subsequently, the oppo sition of the Bank, which caused those attempts, appears to have been softened, and the system has become established. The governor presides at the general council or board of direction. He appoints and removes agents, signs agreements, sanctions or not, at his pleasure, the discount of bills, and the re solutions to which the council may come, and exer cises a general supervision. These powers are exces sive, like the powers given to all superior functionaries of administration in France. In the case of the Bank of England we should expect little benefit fram the introduction of a new officer with extraordinary legal powers, but a good deal from the presence of one qualified to guide the councils of the Bank, and whose character and capacity enabled him to impress his opinions upon his brother directors. POST.—The failure in business of the Governor of the Bank of England is certainly a startling event. It may, however, be of some public use if it serve to convince men, as it ought, of the fallacy of the arguments upon which the friends of the existing monetary system rely. Mercantile failures are now taking place right and left, in conse- • quence of the great 'fail in price of those various articles of food which have been for some months past the object of mercantile speculation. These stoppages are certainly precipitated, and probably caused, by the difficulty or impossibility of obtaining such assistance in money as, under a less restrictive system, might safely have been given. The denial ..f such assistance. under such circumstances, was net unforeseen by the authors of the present system, but they said that with thelx system such circumstances would not occur. Their restrictive system they supposed would be such an impediment to specula tion that a crisis arising from unsuccessful specula tion was a contingency against which there was no longer any occasion to guard. It is now but too apparent that this reliance upon the Bank Charter Act of 1844 was as ignorant as the refusal to attend to the warning of the bankers of London, offered at the time of its enactment, was impudent. But it has been recently said in Parliament that if the Bank Charter Act had not worked as it was expected to work, in checking speculation, it was because the Bank did not soon enough restrict monetary accom modation, in anticipation_ of coining difficulties Easily said, but great nonsense ; for how is the Bank to act upon anticipation of circumstances which even the most intimate acquaintance with the affairs of the Bank does not enable any one to anticipate ? The Governor of the Bank, it appears, was so far from being able to anticipate the crisis which was coming on, that his own house is obliged to stop pay ment in consequence of the exigencies of the crisis. It is, therefore, utterly idle to think of working a monetary system, in such a country as this, by a calculation of coming events in the mercantile world. That which the country requires is a monetary sys tt m which can accommodate itself to the state of the times, such as they may happen to be. The country requires a description of currency which can be ex .panded or contracted according to the peculiar cir cumstances which a small circulation may satisfy, or which it may require a very large circulation to meet. Ile currency we have is one, indeed, which may be contracted, but which, unfortunately, cannot be ex panded without obtaining that which the country cannot obtain when it is most wanted, namely gold. Our law insists that when money is scarce, owing to the effiux of gold from the country, and when mer chants are in difficulty because of the scarcity of money, they shall break unless they can obtain gold, the very thing the departure of which has caused their embarrassment I Then they are told that the Bank, seeing what was about to happen, should have taken early measures to avert the difficulty ; and presently the evidence afforded of the Bank being able to see what was about to happen is the failure of the Governor of the Bank, who, with all the knowledge of the directors' room at his command, was not able to foresee what was about to happen ! DISGUSTING SCENE.—STOURBRIDGE, AUG. 111.— Yesterday a protracted investigation was brought to a close before the county coroner at Lye, near this town, employed relative to a revolting conflict between two women, which terminated fatally to one of the parties. The deceased, Maria Foxall, and her more fortunate adversary, Jane Perry, both single women under 20 years of a g e, were according in a to brickyard t he evidencein th s e d d o uu at s tron g s t o r f o n t h g e d t e o; e n e , an i a l d arbotboth occupation. a very a the s y im h l eaaw a lfl b iatteee o si rr u trec r ehad e tet, r uirhor, nnua n itnn a wdg m i f e torw d honar nahl B osh( e r r:k o e r ro ri snt d y hagai e a nyr r d t , h in a t of jealousy existed between them fur the company of a t Whether he encouraged their joint favours was not ' o a r eaend work away, wa a aw t y t h h e be ub deceased e i a c e u k e ba t i sa e ee l ci d d u down menat y. warm attachment for him. On Friday evening last Perry a lane in the direction of her home, when some one called ing all haste towards her. Not wishing to have any was induced to stop by some men, who kept calling her a "coward," and to "fight it out." Perry re fused to fight, and again attempted to get away. Foxall, however, encouraged by the depraved wretches around her, succeeded in overtaking the other girl, and a truly revolting scene took place. For near ten minutes they were engaged in what might be termed a " stand-up fight." Blows were first dealt, and, as they became more excited, so did the disgusting na ture of their violence increase. They fastened on each other's hair, and tore it out by handfulls. blood flowing from wounds about the face and head. At length. Foxall fell back in apparently . a dying condition, and it , was then di , covered that during the conflict her neck had been dislocated. She died alcnot,t instantaneous body. Mr. H.

It might have been produced by the head be ing violently pulled on one side or backward, or by vio lent rotary motion.

The coroner (Mr. Docker) , i n summing up, left it to the jury' to state whether the girl Perry had exercised any more violence than was necessary to protect her from-the at tacks of the deceased.

FORT WILLIAM, Aua. 20. Yesterday at eight L o'clock the R oya l Squadron left Crenan, and after visiting th e B ay of Oban, passed through the Sound of Mull to Stet& and lona, returnin g at night to anchor in T o b ermory H arbour. As the route - thus followed by her Majesty lay among scenes re markable not only for their natural attractions, but also for their great historic associations and the rich mine of traditional lore which among them invites the researches of the curious and the learned, I propose adopting the same plan with regard to them as I did in my last communication with reference to the coast further south, and giving a brief outline of the families and races whose fortunes in remote periods determined the present circumstances of those dis tricts. It is needless, with so large a field for specu lation in the imperfect records of less fabulous ages, to go back to those times when the Vickingrs held sway among the Western Islands, and when the piratical galleys of the Fingals and the Dubhgall swarmed in the lochs and sounds of the Hebrides. The names of Magnus Barefoot and Malcolm Can more (Malcolm with the large Head), sufficiently in dicate the primeval barbarism of the tribes over whom their rule extended. During the close of the 13th and the beginning of the 14'h centuries the history of the Western Islands first begins to assume the form of a connected narrative. It was at this period that, through the wise munificence of King Robert Bruce, the M'Donalds of the Isles began contemporaneously with their rivals, the Canipbells of Argyleshire, to rise into power. The policy of Robert demanded that antagonists should be raised up to crush the Nlillougalls of Lorn, his hereditary foes; and to effect this object, when Lorn was forfeited, he made great grants of land not only to Sir Neil Campbell of Lochawe, but also to Angus Oig M'Donald, whose son John, in addition to his paternal inheritance, de rived through his wife possession of the North Isles, and assumed for the first time the title of Dominus de InsulisvPr Lord of . . the Isles. .By the marriage of his descendant Donald to Mary Leslie, the Earldom of Ross was added to that lordship, and thus the great family of the M`Donalds acquired an amount of power which, taken in connexion with their previous claims to sovereign dignity and the turbulent spirit of the times, proved most formidable to the authority of the Scottish throne, and in the end disastrous to them selves and all connected with their house and for tunes. After a lengthened contest and many deter mined struggles for supremacy—after holding Par liatnents of their own, and negotiating independent treaties with England—after repeated, and some times successful, attacks on the royal castles and armies, the Lords of the Isles towards the close of the 15th century yielded to the sagacious policy of James IV. ; their wide possessions were forfeited, their titles attached to the Crown, and the subsequent represen tatives of their ancient state ceased to exercise any paramount influence in the Highlands, holding the rank of baron in the peerage by an Irish title. Yet as the tree does not fall without leaving on the ground the seeds of future vegetation, so the Lords of the Isles were not stripped of their territories and power without leaving behind them the evident signs of their rule. From them, in direct descent, sprang the M'Donalds of Lochalsh--the clan Huistein of Sleet —the clan lan Vor of Isla—the clan Ranald-bane of Largie—the clan Ranald of Lochaber—Seol Gorrie of Uist—the clan Ranald of Moydert Morar Knoy dirt and Glengarry—the M'Donalds of Glenco and Ardnamurchan, and the clan Allaster of Kintyre. Besides these formidable tribes, the following great families, either from the influences of vassalage or affinity, retained for a. _long .period the traditional politics of the Lordship of the Isles, and many of them were only finally dismembered by the events of " the 45 ;" these were the Macleans of Dowart, Lochbury, Cole, and Ardgour—the Macleods of Lewis and Harris —the Camerons of Locheil—the Maeneils of Barra and Gigha—the Mackinnons—the Macquarries of Ulva—the Macfies of Colonsay—the Maccacherns of Kilelan—and the Mackays of Nyadale in 'Kintyre. Several of the races here enumerated have disap peared or been swept from the land, and over all of them a mighty change has passed, transforming their habits, character, and manners, but yet can be traced among them the expiring embers of the fiery past ; for the Highlander still, though he labours indiffe rently, makes a brave soldier, still the love of country and kin is a ruling passion of his heart, and still each locality preserves, more or less tenaciously, the name of the clan which formerly possessed it. Returning to the route of the royal squadron yes terday, I must now attempt to give some faint idea of that splendid coast, so wonderful and wild, which along many a winding bay and far-extended headland stretches, " Where the Atlantic's wave pours o'er the stormy Hebrides." Passing from Loch Crenan up to Oban, the squa dron left the whirlpool of Corryvrekan on the left, and crossing the " Dorust-more," or Great Door, a point at which the tides of the ocean meet, steered on round the stormy shore of Easdale. Here the prospect opened up was surpassingly wild. Moving along a c 'list indented with lochs and studded with rugged and inhospitable little islands, the eye extended westward over the broad expanse of the open ocean, and moving thence south wards rested upon Colonsay and Jura. To the west lay the green hills of Argyieshire, and on the north in formidable array stretched the massive and iron-bound headlands of Mull, prolonged into the Atlantic, and backing up against the fury of its waters the defence less and wave-worn lona. The squadron rested in Ohan Biy for a few minutes, that the royal party might survey this beautiful and picturesque harbour, round which wood-crowned heights of exquisite out line form in a semicircle, the mouth of the harbour being closed in by the island of Kerrera, and the ancient seat of the M‘Dougals of Lorn Dunolly Castle, towering from a rock on the upper extremity of the bay. From Oban the royal squadron sailed northwards past the point of Lismore, and through the Sound of Mull. On either shore, as the fleet steered up the Sound, ob jects of great historical interest and the highest gran deur presented themselves to the view. Far off to the south and east stretched the mountains of Appin and Lochabar, flanked by Ben Cruiachan at the one extremity, and Ben Nevis on the other. On the west lay the stately Ben More, and eastward Morven —the country where Fingal fought and Ossian sang ; or where, to use more guarded language, Macpherson said they did so. The sea, which was as smooth as g lass, reflected on its surface every feature of t he ad jacent heights, and at short intervals, on either side, the ruins of ancient strongholds rise on the sea side, their grim and solitary aspect calling back the mind to times of violence now past. As the squadron steamed up the Sound, Doward Castle, once the stronghold of Maclean of Doward, appeared on the left, and on the right the ancient fortresses of Ard torinsh and Mingary. The former belonged in re mote periods to the Lords of the Isles, and the latter to the Maclans_of Ardnamarchan. In one or both of them James IV. and V. resided when visiting the Highlands to compel the submission of the refractory chiefs ; nor have these wild shores and deserted promontories been since visited by the Sovereign until yesterday her Majesty surveyed them from the quarter-deck of the Victoria and Albert. The changes which have been wrought on that coast in the inter val are striking enough, for few can help recognizing the distinction between the peaceful objects of Queen Victoria and the mission her.predecessora ; ob serving, that lands which, in the 16th d cant v u e ry or must adventurous hade produced a numerous, race of mountaineers, now devoted to pasture. sht:lP.pdorty, an d else than black-faced sheep, and are entire ly t from As the royal squadron cleared ou t of that island, the Sound of Mull, and round the north ern extremity a noble prospect lay be fore in a g tee n p wl a y nd barren into the headlands of Ardnamarchan strettchhe precipitous cliffs Atlantic on the right, on f the left the way and em bosomed in the of the Mull coast, and good deal ocean, the fantastic andarvasried forms of of as th a e adjacent the north as islands.
