There is a small circular burying-ground in the policies which con tains the remains of several of the chiefs of the Mac phersons. A large farm of great fertility is attached to the Castle ; and the enlightened manner in which it is cultivated, and the great exertions which have been lately made to preserve it from the ravages of the Spey, by means of artificial embankment, convey to the mind a vivid idea of the benign and fostering influences of an enterprising and resident proprietor. Spending some time in the grounds, the royal party then returned to the Castle, and, after partaking of a cold collation, took leave of their delighted guests. The royal cortege arrived at the floating bridge about six o'clock. Tier Majesty, in returning, wore a grey hooded cloak to protect her from the cold air. It is now arranged that the queen and the royal party will pass through the Crinan Canal on Satur day, and the squadron will anchor the same evening. in Campbeltown Bap, and sail thence either on Sun day or Monday morning—most probably the former as I understand the tide will be more favourable for entering Fleetwood on that day. The royal party will, in that case, proceed to London by railway on Monday.

Mr. Wickham, Chairman of Stamps and Taxes, had an interview yesterday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FRIDAY EVENING. The daily anxiety regarding failures has been ful filled this morning to a more distressing extent than we have yet had to record. The house of Reid, Irving, and Co. has suspended, and the liabilities are estimated at 1,500,0001., the amount of acceptances alone being upwards of 900,0001.. The failure, mere over, irrespective of its amount, derives importance from the circumstance of the head of the firm being one of the senior directors of the Bank of England. The cause of the stoppage is to be found in the way in which the firm had extended their operations, not only without a corresponding extension of capital, but in the face of an annual diminution of their means consequent upon the gradually increasing weight of inconvertible investments. A sum not less than 600,0001. is understood to be locked up in real estate, and other property, in the Mauritius and the West Indies. Apart from the want of prudent calculation thus shown, the pr esen t case, i t i s b el i eved, may be de scribed as an ordinary mercantile failure. In former days the house possessed a capital far beyond most others, and there is rea son t o b e li eve that the difficul ties which have brought about the present result have been of that gradual character which often escape re cognition until a fall in produce or a permanent rise in the discount market brings them to a fatal conclu sion. The balance-sheet of the house, as now made up, shows, it is said, a nominal surplus of about' 330,000/.; but this it hardly can be doubted arises from valuations of the Mauritius estates, which will prove entirely delusive. Although it is said that an aggregate of more than 290,0001. has at various periods been written off from the total at which they were originally valued, the probability is, that if brought to sale these estates would still be found to have been enormously over- estimated. The firm, it may be added, were the agents of the Spanish and also of the Venezuelan Governments. Sir John Reid was. Deputy-Governor of the Bank in 1837, and Governor in 1839. In connexion with this and with each of the other disasters which have re cently fallen, it must be pointed out thdt 'al' as the real stability of commercial credit is concerned, nothin g has yet occurred to beget terror upon the part of those houses who may thus far have conducted their business upon sound and recogi.ised principles. All the evils which have yet taken place have (with some small exceptions) either had their origin in direct speculation or been the natural climax of a long con tinued state of weakness, vz hich to those acquainted with it could have left nothing but the actual date at which suspension would occur a matter of much un certainty. Painful as all individual cases of distress must be (and few will be regarded with more regret than that which has to-day occurred), it should still be matter of thankfulness rather than of alarm to the solid trader, that however a course of speculation or of incautious extension may seem for a time to yield results with which his own unob trusive progress can present but a slight comparison, periodical storms will certainly arrive when the dif ference between real and spurious credit will be tested, and when commerce will be restored (at least until the lesson shall again have been forgotten) to its sound and legitimate channels. Even if the surround ing evils were ten times worse than they are at this moment, we do not believe that any house which could clearly show that it had pursued a course of business steadily confined within the fair limits of its means would experience any difficulty in obtaining every aid that would be essential to avert the conse quences of any merely accidental pressure. For the true and rational trader, come what may, we have there fore no fear. Our only apprehension for the future is, that the number of those, especially among the community at large, who have been tempted to depart from the straight road, is far greater than has yet in any quarter been anticipated.—Times.

FREE-TRADE CONGRESS AT BRUSSELS. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 16.—The first sitting of the Con gres des Economistes was held this morning in the hall of the Hotel de Ville, which has been placed at the disposition of the society by the municipality. It is a long and lofty chamber, with a dais at the upper end. Here was placed the table of the President and Vice-Presidents. On the level of the floor, at the side of the hall, and to the right of the President, was the tribune for the speakers, a simple semicircular pulpit, decorated with a slight drapery of blue stuff. The tables for the journalists were ranged along the side of the hall under the windows. The wall behind the President's table was decorated with the flags of the different nations represented in the Congress. A space was railed off at the lower end of the chamber aid thrown open to the general public. Soon after ten o'clock the members began to arrive, and some time before th e p rocee di ngs comme nced the hall was full, though not crowded. The number present included the gentlemen whose names were forwarded yesterday, with the addition (from England) of Mr. Ewart, ALP. At eleven o'clock M. Ch. de Brouckere (late Minis ter of War and Finance), to whom the presidency has been given, took his seat. The PRESIDENT opened the proceedings by con gratulating th e assem bl y on the completion of the task they had undertaken, and the formation of the Congress. They had met and were about to take an initiative step, which did not require any justification from him. They would allow him to thank them for their attendance in the name cf the alliance of na tions and the fraternity of peoples. A revolution had been accomplished in industry and science as well as in politics ; progress in the arts of industry and dis coveries in the world of science had, in the present age, given each other the hand and united their poweis to alleviate the condition of the working classes. To them it belonged to direct these two forces, political and industrial, to that one object, in stead of leaving them to produce perhaps mutual destruction. The progress of arts and the liberty of commerce both tended to popularize doctrines which had hitherto only been known to, and acknowledged by, the few. They were now about to make a great step in advance. This was not, indeed, the first time that citizens of different countries had met together; but hitherto in such assemblies the discussions had turned only on theories of philosophy. They never met to consider the material development of the re sources of nations. There had often been congresses of crowned heads, but their conferences had been de voted only to the consideration of war, of battles, of military power, and territorial aggrandisement. He did not visit kings exclusively with the blame of this; it must be ascribed to the ignorance of the mass of mankind and the duplicity of diplomatists. The present Congress was the first in stance of nations meeting on the principle of frater nity. In the course of action they were adopting, they were putting in practice the divine precept of the Gospel, " Love one another."— (Applause.) He then referred to the different classes composing the meeting; he saw before him statesmen, legislators, capitalists, merchants ; he might take the assembling together of such varied occupations as a proof that in reality all their interests were the same. He pointed out the state and condition of England, where the principles of free trade had made such progress ; he cited its wealth, its industry, and the comparatively good condition of its working classes, as the objects they should propose to themselves to attain. He dwelt particularly on the necessity of paying the ut most attention to the condition of the working classes —in their welfare every one was interested. He alluded to the superiority of employment as the means of improving that condition over any organization, however vast, of the principle of charity ; the univer sal application of that principle would end at last in conducting society into one vast almshouse. He re minded them that they were living in an age of tran sition ; the equality dreamed by the levellers of so ciety could not exist for a single day, but men had a just claim to equality in the liberty both of their per sons and their industry.—(Applause.) He con cluded by again thanking the members of the Con gress for their attendance, and formally declared the sitting opened. The four Vice-Presidents—the Due d'llarcourt (France), Colonel Thompson, M.P. (England), Count Arrivabene (Belgian), and M. Hesser (Berlin)—then took their seats. The PRESIDENT announced that the secretary would read the lists of the foreigners present, the native members of the Congress, and the names of those foreigners who had been invited but could not attend. The several lists were then read by the secretary, M. Le Hardy de Beaulieu. This proceeding of form occupied some time. The Marquis RIDOLPIII, as deputy from the Academy of Political Economy and Agriculture of Florence, read a communication conveying the ap proval of that body of the object of the Congress. The PRESIDENT then read the order of the day, which opened the dipcussion on the first of the themes submitted to the Congress—" The general principles which form the basis of p o li t i cal economy, and of the doctrines maintained by the advocates of free trade;" and called on .M.secretary n d addressed of the th e assembly Congress, who VlCTO Rascended the iin ‘A trib E u ß n ' e and in a speech of considerable length, in which he re viewed the first principles of the science and its objects, which were those instinctively desired by the mass of mankind happiness, contentment, and wealth. He gave a sketch of the progress of the science, referring to the writings of Hume, Quesnay, Gournay, &c. These were the men of theory who Fiboured in the past, but in the present day the doc trines of political economy were adopted and were being daily worked out by men of practice. The latter fact he ranked among the chief causes of the rapid progress this class of opinions had recently made. It was their effort to bring into action the opinions based on abstract right ; it was to their ideas and the for tunate inventions of science that society owed that industrial progress which was the glory of the pre sent century. The questions involved in the doc trines of political economy were so various that they could not all be solved, except by a f u ll application of those doctrines; and he dis cussed the evils that might be caused by an in complete one. Unrestrained competition had pro duced some unfortunate consequences, but they could not be attributed to the principle of freedom, only to the imperfect manner in which it had been carried out; the sources of wealth had been agitated and disturbed before the channels had been dug through which the waters were to flow. The study which these unfavourable phenomena necessitated had tended to disseminate the principles of the science. Men were led to inquire into the causes of evils which had almost been regarded as inevitable. It was such an inquiry in which they were engaged. It was to attempt to resolve the important question that they had sum moned them to Brussels. He regretted that the French journals had thought it their duty to remain totally silent on the subject, and hoped the publicity given to their present proceedings would produce a favourable effect; and he confessed he had no right to expect of the press of France that attention which even the press of Belgium had not given them. They had found in the press of England and America that support which their own had refused them ; but at last they had succeeded, and the Congress had been brought together. He then proceeded to that branch of political economy com prehended in the term " Freedom of Trade," treated under several divisions, fiscal and social ; and com bated the arguments with which it is opposed, in Belgium more particularly. The principal one is, an apprehension that if England were admitted to com pete with this country, all its manufactures would be absorbed and swallowed up. To these apprehensions he opposed the material advantages of a free commerce and its moral effects, the preservation of the peace of the world, and the extension of the sentiment of fraternity among mankind. Professor WALowsm, of Paris, then addressed the meeting. He commenced by regretting that Germany should have sent to the Congress an oppo nent of the principle of free trade, and then pro ceeded in an animated speech to explain the advan tages who are perfectly ready on the inconsistency of those t rnimprovemen s in machinery, of free trade, and dwelt with considerable effect to accept the most mode produce. The men who those improvements mu railways, which, by the ae'vocated the extension ofbringing all the world together, Thet oppose themselves must t o the consequences which ait I of steam, were of protection, which, as 'cm ild not support the systemations separated. Having much as possible, several by drawing a com parison English public, he concluded and enfranchisement rt between the e nlar g ement pariso by the doe thich was effected 3f the human mind w arguments familiar to passed in review thee ept what one was for et he free principle in commerce the other would be for the moral existence of man, being. —(Applause.) his material and physical (de Berg) read a paper 14 T. R O TIIENILIUSEN riri es of Christianity, andtheeffe;ct, in a lower sphere, in• s upportstyle, and the dis s pea, ker was unimpressive protection. The' se was coldly received. Coll.r. character of the policy of of the doctrines m refers aces to the grasping contained frequent lo h tf e reproached us with ikEnglacid ; among other things, the Methuen treaty with Portugal, and accused Lord Aberdeen with having used the language of menace to the German Governments. M. NATALIS BLANQUI, in an agreeable address, marked with a light, lively humour, narrated some of the consequences of the protective system, and stated what it would produce if fully carried out. He drew largely in illustration from the state of Spain. There the protective system was in full perfection, and the whole trade of the country was in the hands of the smuggler !—(Applause.) The people were demora lized by it, for men were just what bad laws made them; tel systeme , tels homnzes. It was ridiculous to talk of national independence; every nation was, and must he, dependent on others; without America, England would be deprived of her 'immense cotton trade. The primitive system of supplying everything from within was impracticable; the orckr, keep yourselves to yourselves, absurd. While de scribing by way of illustration some details of the manufacture of shawls in France, he returned again to the effect of protection in increasing contraband trade and excited some amusement by saying that the couriers of the foreign ambassadors were the greatest smugglers in the world. The contrabandist was the worm continually gnawing at the foot of the tree of protection, and would destroy it without the aid of congresses of economists or any one else. Dr. BOWRING, having been named by the President, ascended the tribune, and was received with great applause. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman addressed the assemby in French, Claiming the in dulgence of the Congress while addressing it in a language foreign to him. He was glad of the oppor tunity of meeting some statements made by the de puty from Prussia with respect to the Metheun treaty and to Lord Aberdeen. He had described the treaty as advantageous to England and disadvantageous to Portugal. It might have been advantageous to Eng land at the time, as it secured it many privileges ; but that treaty had been destroyed and abolished, and that by England itself and in its own. interest. The destruction of that treaty was one Of the first move ments England had made in the direction of freedom of commerce. The apologist of the system of pro tection had talked of Lord Aberdeen as using the language of menace to the German Governments. He had read the whole of that correspondence and had never found any menace in it. He would render that justice to Lord Aberdeen, though he did not share his political opinions. He wished that foreign Governments would follow the good example England had set them. Everywhere England sought reciprocity, and in the great changes she had lately made she had asked nothing in return from foreign countries. He instanced the opening of the Chinese ports under the Pottinger treaty as another instance of the moderation of England, who, in that case, only demanded for herself what was accorded to all the world.—(Applause.) He did not think pro tection had succeeded in Germany ; he was sure it had not succeeded in England. In England they had many branches of industry. Protection had never saved a weak manufacture; certainly never did anything for a strong one.—(Applause.) The in dustry of England was dependent on foreign produce. Their soil was not very favourable to production ; their climate was not one of the most beautiful. For cotton they depended on the United States; their silk trade was dependent on France, Italy, China, and the East Indies. He admitted that England was dependent on every nation but he must assert, also, that England had rendered great services to those other nations in return.—(Applause.) The effect of free trade was not only material; it had a moral consequence. The time had arrived when nations, like individuals, should seek their own happiness in the happiness of others.—(Applause.) What was called the spirit of nationality would be lost in a large philanthropy, embracing the, whole world.— (Applause.) As an Englishman, he was glad to be able to say that they bad done something in the good cause, but they were not yet satisfied ; they had set their hands to the work, but much remained to be done. On returning to England he hoped, with his Hon. Colleagues, to be able to tell the English people and the English Parliament that the Belgians took great interest in the question of commercial liberty, and engaged themselves solemnly to give it every possible development. In England the question was beginning to be comprehended. He could not tell what would be the position of parties in England ; he could not say which party would have the prepon.; derance, but in a late appeal to the people they had replied, " Do all to advance the cause of free com merce ; that is your mission, and the Minister who will do the most for it shall have our best support."— (Applause). The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded with a reference to the English League, and urged them to follow the example it held out to them. M. DUCHATEAU (de Valenciennes), secretary of a committee for the protection of native industry, fol lowed in a protectionist address, in which he im pugned Dr. Bowriog's reading of history when he praised the moderation of England. Mr. EWART, M.P., M. CAMPAN, and Colonel Tiromrsos, M.P., were the next speakers. Colonel Thompson spoke but a few minutes ; he was most warmly received ; in leed, the greatest respect is ex hibited for the English legislators who hare attended the Congress. The PRESIDENT then closed the sitting, and the Congress rose. The visiting members dine together every evening at a table d'hote, the arrangements of which are con ducted by the committee. A grand concert and banquet are to be among the festivities of the meeting. PORTLAND HARBOUR OF REFUGE. (From the Sherborne Journal.) The inhabitants of Weymouth and Portland, feel ing that a debt of gratitude is owing to Mr. John Harvey, for his and his father's untiring exertions, both by personal application and writing, in bringing before successive Governments and the public the necessity of a breakwater at Portland (now happily commenced), have now resolved on entering into a subscription to present him with a suitable testimo nial. The late Mr. John Harvey was, in 1803, by the special command of his Majesty George the Third, appointed postmaster of Weymouth, and the present Mr. John Harvey succeeded his father in the same situation in the year 1817. Subscriptions will, we understand, be received by the Weymouth Banks, and it is hoped that the country generally will unite with the inhabitants of Weymouth and Portland in promoting this laudable object. Capt. Joseph Slade has kindly undertaken to act as secretary. Among the subscriptions which head the list are the Worship ful the Mayor of Weymouth (J. A. Devendish, Esq.) and W. Eliot, Esq., for 11. each.—[We are happy to hear that the hint lately given in our journal is being acted on.—En. S. J.] HARVEST-HOME. — This good old custom is not yet extinct in this country; in proof of which we have to in stance the festivities at East Hampstead Park, in Berk shire, the seat of the Marquis of Downshire. In a letter we have received from that neighbourhood the writer says:—" We had rare doings here this day (Fri day)—the- harvest home. The Marquis of Downshire had a fat bullock killed for the occasion, which was roasted in joints; plenty of plum-puddings, and home brewed in abundance. About 300 farming men, work men, women, ac., employed by his Lordship, sat down to the dinner. After the feast the village band attended for country dances; and cricket, and all sorts of rustic diversion concluded the festivities of the occasion." THE YANKEE PEDLAR.—" See here, Mister, don't you want tew buy somethink in my line tew-day? I've got a new machine for picking bones out of fishes. Now I tell yew it's a little the darndest thing yew ever did see. All yew have to dew is to set on a table, and turn a crank, and the fish flies rite down your throat, and the bones rite off the other way. Well, there was a country greenhorn got hold of it the other day, and he got turnin' the crank the wrong way, and I tell you the way the bones flew down that 'ere feller's throat couldn't be beat. Why, it stuck that feller so full of bones, that he couldn't get his shirt off for a fall week.—New York Globe. PRICE OF BREAD.—A meeting was held at Evesham on Wednesday, to con s id er th e p r i ce o f bread and other articles of consumpti on , an d th e d es irableness of provi sions generally being supplied by weight. It was con vened by the mayor (J. B. Haynes, Esq.), whpp!esided, in complianc e with a numerously signed Requisition pre sented to him for that purpose. The parties . who took an active part in getting up the requisit ion being absent, some time was passed in desultory c onversation on the Act of Parliament bearing on the subject of bread, , and at last Mr. R. Whitford moved — " That bread, whichis the chief article of food of the masses of the population, should bo offered for sale by weight, so as to prevent the possibility of fraud to the consumer." This was carried unanimously ; and a second resolution, pledging the meeting to buy only of those bakers who sell by weight, was also adopted. Resolutions were afterwards agreed to that all other articles of food ought to be sold by weight, and in favour of the erection of a public weigh ing machine.— Worcester Chronicle.

ARDVERISIE, SEPT. 15 . —Yesterday Her Majesty and his Royal Highness, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, walked into ,the Forest in the morning. In the afternoon the Prince, attended by the Mar quis of Abercorn and some of the gentlemen of the household, went to the hills ptarmigan shooting. The Ladies Harriet and Beatrice Hamilton arrived on a visit to her Majesty. (From the North British Mail.) LOCH LAGGAN, TUESDAY NIGHT. Yesterday morning, Prince Albert went out to the cover-shooting in the woods adjacent to the Lodge, attended by a great number of beaters. The sport was excellent—the best, I believe, the Prince has enjoyed sinca his arrival at Ardverikie. his Royal Highness killed three roe-bucks and twelve brace of birds, and returned to the Lodge at two o'clock to lunch. In the afternoon, the Queen, Prince Albert, and the royal children, drove out to Cluny Castle on a visit to Ciuny Macpherson. The Royal Family rode in a phaeton, drawn by four beautiful grey Arabian ponies, and were accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, and General \Vemyss, and at tended by two out-riders. The weather had become much milder about mid- day, and the afternoon, though rather cold, was calm and clear. Cluny Castle is distant about 12 miles from the Lodge. The road passes through the centre of the parish, and besides giving a gold view of the scenery of the district, is invested with numerous objects of natural and historical interest. After leav ing the head of the loch it winds for two miles along the edge of the Paatock, sometimes enclosed in natural groves of birch, sometimes emerg ing into rich grassy holmes, and at others rnounting over precipices, with the smooth stream purling at their base, or leaping down a flight of rocky steps in successive falls—all combining to form one of those scenes of quiet rural beauty which in Scotland so frequently steal upon the traveller when least expected. The Paatock is a good trouting stream. It rises in the depths of Ben Aulder forest, and, after flowing six miles northward, change., its course by a rapid bend, and runs westward into Loch Laggan, whence it is carried by the Spean and the Lochy to the Western Ocean. It is a curious fact, and ono which illustrates .he elevated position of the parish of Laggan, ;hat another stream, which rises within a mile and a half of the source of the Paatock, pursues quite an opposite course—passing . through Loch Ericht, Loch Rannoch, and the Tay, to the Eastern Ocean. And, in like manner, proceeding along the road to Cluny Castle, you find, a little way beyond the spot where the Paatock begins to run towards Loch Laggan, that the streams pass eastward through the Vale of Spey to the Moray Firth. It seems that the main land rises to its greatest elevation among the wilds of Laggan, and that the rain which falls from the clouds upon these dizzy heights descends in all directions upon the lower countries with which they are sur rounded on every side. Issuing from the glen through which the Paatock runs, the road passes through Strathmashie, and then stretches along the more open country which is watered by the Spey. Strathmashie was formerly divided into small farms, but is now occupied by a gentleman of the Macphersons, who devotes it partly to arable and partly to pastoral purposes, but chiefly the latter. It is separated from Glensherra by a series of grey rocky mounts ; and on the almost inaccessible summit of one of these the remains of an ancient fortification are still to be seen. A wall three yards in thickness, and built with large flags or broad stones, without mortar, runs round the edge of the summit, enclosing an area which is said to measure 500 feet in length, and 250 feet in breadth. It was probably employed as a place of protection for the cattle, and probably also the women and children, in times of foreign invasion or domestic war ; and, as it looks directly down over the extensive plains of the Spey, a fire lighted on it must have been a most effectual signal of alarm to the inhabitants of that rich and comparatively populous territory. Behind this range of rocks, in the mouth of Glensherra, stands the Roman Catholic chapel—a very plain but neat erection, to which apartments are attached for the residence of the priest. It is impossible to conceive a more chaste yet wild and gloomy solitude than that which has been chosen as the site of this place of worship. The Spey issues from Glensherra in the form of a tiny stream, and passes down as far es the eye can stretch over a level country, studded with clumps of trees, and varie gated with the multifarious tints of harvest. Country mansions, farm-houses, huts and bothies, rear their many-coloured walls in populous profusion. One perceives at a glance that the great majority of the 1,200 inhabitants of Laggan are domiciled in this plain. Corryarrick and the Monadlia mountains bound the valley on the north, while the dark blue hills of the Grampians enclose it on the south. Here it was where Sir John Cope made his well-known and much-ridiculed movement, by which he suddenly diverged to Inverness, and left the south country open to the march of the Pretender, who lay en camped with his forces on the north side of Cor ryarrick. The cowardice of his troops, and the disadvantageous character of the ground, render the course pursued by Cope the wisest that could have been devised. The army, which was afterwards so easily routed at Prestonpans, would have cut a very sorry figure, and fared a great deal worse, in this secluded valley of the Spey, where they would have found no means of refuge or escape. It is impossible to have the mind thus cast back on the stormy period of the Rebellion, without reflecting on the altered circum stances of the present times. A hundred years have only elapsed, and the representative of the house of Brunswick passes through these scenes of former strife unattended by armed men or any other guard, save the love which burns for her in Highland hearts, on a friendly visit to the descendants of a chief who was the bosom -friend of the Pretender, and the sworn enemy of her line ! The road crosses the Spey by a handsome wooden bridge, at the end of which, on the north side of the river, stands the parish church—a plain building sur rounded with burying-ground, and enclosed with a row of fine trees. It was built a few years ago on the same site as its two predecessors, both of which must have been very short-lived, as an octogenarian residing in the neighbourhood informed us that he had witnessed the erection of them both. Masonry must be very defective in a country where the human body is so greatly more dura ble than temples of stone and lime. Previous to the occupation of the present site, public worship was conducted in an old barn situated a considerable way farther up the river ; and it was in this rude building that Divine service was first celebrated in the parish according to the Presbyterian form. The old parish remained in the hands of the Roman Catholics and the Episcopalians to a very late period. The oldest Presbyterian minister of whom I could get any account was a Mr. Macintyre ; and a story is told of him which is creditable alike to his diligence and his wit. The manse and the place of worship were situated on opposite sides of the river; and as there was no bridge in those days, the minister was obliged to ford the Spey before he could reach the old barn. On one occasion a heavy flood bad rendered the ford impas sable, but the people had assembled, and waited anxiously to see what the minister wo uld an do. On m reaching the bank of the river , th e g ood for all all difficulties by calling out, loud enoug h all to hear him, " I canna gang owre to you mysel', but rse try to sen' the preachin' owre." The people accor di ng ly gathered on one side on oftho other, thoereirv,erp proceeded to minister taking up his p ositio n to deliver to them his weekly message over the bosom of the swollen stream. A neat monument in the churchyard points out the grave of the Rev. James Grant, the husband of the late Mrs. Grant, favourably known to the public by her "Letters from the Mountains," and other literary works on the scenery and manners of the Highlands. Inscriptions on marble detail the leading circumstances in the lives of this amiable couple. Mr. Grant died in December, 1801 ; and his widow, after a long and heroic struggle in behalf of her family, died at Edinburgh in 1838. About two miles below the church you reach Cluny Castle—a massive and substantial residence, built of the granite of the neighbouring hills. Cluny and his lady had only received notice of her Majesty's intention to honour them with a visit about an hour before the arrival of the royal cortege. Little time was allowed therefore for any formal preparations, but by the time her Majesty had reached the gateway, 30 men in Highland garb, with a a piper at their head, were drawn up in front of the Castle. Cluny himself in his usual costume of kilt and philabeg, and Mrs. Macpherson, were also in waiting for the arrival of their Royal visitors. The Duke of Norfolk handed the Queen from the phaeton, and her Majesty, the Prince, and the rest of the royal party were ushered into the castle. About a quarter of an hour was spent in inspecting the various a ntiquities which have remained in the custody of the Macphersons since the Rebellions, after which the royal party went out into the grounds, an d visited the garden and other • places of iuterest 4n the vicinity.

By the statement we published yesterday, it ap pears that the Conservatives have objected to no bass than 2,279 voters, while the Liberals have only ob jected to 1,181. Deaths and removals could scarcely account for such a sweeping riddance of men who only a few weeks before were entitled to the fran chise. The cases which have been brought before this Court explain the matter, and the decision to which the Revising Barrister has come seems very well calculated to put a stop to this wholesale system of making objections. The process is this :—The Conservatives—and for aught we know the Liberals too—have a list of the voters before them ; they send canvassing letters to these voters through the Post-office ; to these letters either no answers are given, or the letters themselves are returned, endorsed "Not known," " Gone away," "No such person," &c. T , !ereupon, notices of ob jection for non-residence are served on the overseer, or the clerks of the Livery Company, as the case may he, and they are sent also to the supposed residences of the voters. The time comes for adjudicating on these notices, but the agent meanwhile has ascer tained that he has no foundation on which to rest his objections, and when the parties appear in Court the agent says, " It is a mistake, and I withdraw my objections." The voters then claim their expanses. " No," says the agent, " I have withdrawn the ob ,iections, and therefore you have no right to any ex penses from me." This is exactly the shape in which the question has come berore this Court. The question is argued thus :—The objecting agent contends that, unless the duplicate of the notice of objection (which is in his own possession) is produced in Court, there is no proof of any objection having been made; and as he is the only party who can pro duce that duplicate, he, by withholding it, protects himself against th e liability of the charge of having made a frivolous and vexatious objection, and cannot, therefore, be made subject to pay any costs to the voter. On the other side it is argued that the objection enures from the moment the notice is served, and that the party objected to is under the necessity of appearing in Court to sustain his vote, otherwise he would be disfranchished. The vexation, therefore, has been committed the moment the notice is served, and on the voter appearing and proving his right to vote he has a claim for costs. Several cases involving this argument occurred both yesterday and to-day. We will mention only one of them, as showing the extremely vexatious na ture of this mode of proceeding : Mr. Nias, of Islington, and a freeman and livery man of the Blacksmiths' Company, was objected to by the Conservatives for non-residence, and yet that gentleman stated on his oa th, that he had been an in habitant of his present residence thirty-one years, was the owner of twenty-one houses in the neighbour hood, was a professional man, and was as well known as anybody living in that part of London. To this Mr. Brown, the Conservative agent, had nothing whatever to say, except that he had been told that there was no such person living at the house mentioned in the list. Mr. Nias said, that the Conservatives had come into his neighbourhood canvassing about the tune that his house was undergoing repair, and during that period he occupied the adjoining house. He sup posed the assumption of his not being a resident there arose from this circumstance. . Mr. Brown thenSai4, — that he saw Mr. Nias in Court yesterday, and told him that he had ascertained that there was no objection to his vote, and that he need not give his further attendance. Mr. Nias—Yes, but I told Mr. Brown that as a professional man my time was valuable to me, and that I should expect my expenses. Mr. Brown—l offered you ss. Mr. Nias—Five shillings to a professional man! Mr. M'ClinisTlE awarded Mr. Nias 20s. costs, and then said, that the general rule on which he should act with regard to these notices was, that he should require the objections to be gone into, and if they proved to be vexatious he should impose costs on the objector. Mr. Brown could not understand the j ustice of such a decision, seeing that by his agreeing to withdraw his objections the parties were not put to any trouble. Mr. M'CnaisTlE—Not to any trouble ! First, the overseer was required to attend ; then, the secondary to record the notice; then, the clerk of the company was also to attend, and he himself had to take cogni zance of the notice ; and, beyond this, the party ob jected to, a professional g e n tl ema n in this instance, was taken from his home for two days. Surely this was trouble enough. The money was paid. Subsequently Mr. Smith and Mr. Brown applied to the Court tor an adjournment. They observed, rhat in consequence of the rule laid down by Mr. Nl‘Christie respecting the nature of these objections, they wished to have an opportunity to confer to gether in order to determine what course they should hereafter take. Mr. M'CiiiiisTlE suggested that at the close of this day's proceedings the Court should adjourn till ➢lon day. Mr. Smith—l have no doubt that by such an ar rangement the business of the Court would be greatly expedited. The lists were then proceeded with, and in every case where the objection appeared to the Court to be groundless, either on account of the question raised having been already decided, or the inquiries not having been made with sufficient vigilance, costs were a warded. Adjourned till Monday. EXTENSIVE FlRE.—Last night, about half-past eleven o'clock, a fire, that for nearly an hour completely illuminated the western portion of the metropolis, broke out upon the p rem i ses i n the tenure of Mr. Miles, a cabinet• manufact urer , s i tuate i n Neal ' s-yard, Seven - dials, a very narrow an d d ense l y . populated neighbourhood. The flames were first noticed by Mr. Ilillsman, the corn factor, who occupies the lower part of the building; at which time the two upper workshops appeared to be in a general blaze. Not a moment was lost in sounding the alarm, and with all speed engines from Messrs. Combe and Delafield's brewhouse, together with numerous others belonging to the London Brigade, West of Eng land, and County establishments, reached the scene of conflagration. The flames at that time were rusAiing out of the front and back windows with such fury that the destruction of the contiguous buildings appeared quite certain. Th e fi remen , h owe ver, having set their engines to work, mounted the mole of the adjoining houses, and by carrying the hose with them, they were enabled to pour the wa t er in suc h di rect i ons as to nom pletely encompass the flam es . Thi s was a wor k o f con siderable difficulty a n d d anger , b ut , f ortunate l y, not one of the men received any personal injury. Owing' to their indefatigable exertions, they succeeded in e tinguishing the fire before twelve o'clock; not, howeve.v, until Mr. Miles's premises were burned out, and th,tt contents, including the workmen's tools, were totally consumed. AWFUL FIRE.—On Thursday last a most extensive fire occurred at Needingworth, a village near St. Ives, in the county of Huntingdon, which has rendered it ono scene of misery and desolation, upwards of 80 houses, in cluding farming-houses and cottages, being entirely de stroyed. The fire was first observed about 12 o'clock at noon, and originated through a poor idiot servant girl throwing some lighted straw into a yard ; the wind at the time blowing a hurricane wafted some o the straw to the thatch of the cottage, which was immediately enveloped in flames ; it then communicated itself to an adjoining farm, and in a few minutes the whole of the property, on the right hand and on the left, was one terrible fire. The farmsteads destroyed are six in number, together with the produce of nearly 3,000 acres of land, and about 70 houses and cottages. The amount of property destroyed has not at present ben ascer tained, but it must be very considerable, and a large pro portion of it is, we are informed, insured. Several engines were upon the spot, but in consequence of the wind and the scarcity of water were quite useless. We understand a subscription has already been set on foot for the relief of the sufferers. A NEW DAILY PAPER.--A new morning journal has just appeared in Paris, under the title of the Con servateur.
