of scotch 'nine, the [rich Max,- from !Vomiter, be-
girls to supersede the Russian flax in Liverpool,
altliongh formerly it would scarcely be boulllit fur
rope-making. I um coofident Ireland might he
made to enjoy a very considerable trade in hemp,
flax, Ilax-seed, and spun yarn, now curried on to
the exclusive benefit of foreign countries--I mean
the South awl Santh-west of Ireland, where so
much ground remains to be cultivated.
The niarrufatctore of coarse
,yarn in Munster
would not interfere wills the linen trade of the North
of Ireland, where the article is so much finer, and
where, they are obliged to pull the flax greener, and
before the seed is quire ripe. I doubt very much
if any part of the world can produce so good coarse
flax as I have seen, in large quantities, w forme
parts of Munster; and it is • pity we should not
avail ourselves of those advantages nature has so
generottly thrown wry. •
My.ohject is, to endeavour to enlist our leading
men, who have a direct interest in the peace and
prosperzty of the country, to give their aid to the
introdurlng of those branches of trade owl manu-
facture into 'rebind. which would be a permanent
nod au increasing source of employment to a large
portion of our population, bringing tehef home to
every cottage; and, instead of colonizing foreign
lauds, Ireland would soon be üble to support double
its present population. At the exocirse of about
1/. fur each family, a supply of wheel., reels, and
cards might be obtained, which would afford such
an addition to their-means of obtaining an indus-
trious livelihood, us "would render them in a manner
independent. 1 remain, Sir. &c. &c.

EXPEDITION 710 THEI ROCKY MOUNTAINS.

A company of 180 adventure rs are stated to have left St.

taigas. They are described to be of vigorous and mascu-
line app , well armed, and prepared for a three
years tour through this almost unknown and savage country.

MASSACRE OP CLEAVE.

The belief that punishment of the cruelly, oppression,
or inisronrinet of an individual descended as a curse to his
children, was not violin. d to the common people. The tale
Colonel Cant nisei', of Glealyan, retained this belief through a
course of thirty years intercourse with the world. He was
grandson of the Laird of Glenlyore, wbo commended the mi-
litary at the niussere of (Ilene°, sod who lived in the Laird of
G!enco's house, where be and his men were hospitably received
An friends, a fortnight before the execution of ids orders. He
was playing al cards when the first shot was fired, and the
murderous scene contriteneed!-s-Iti 1771, Colonel Camp-
bell was ordered to superintend the execution of • ma-
rine condemned to be shot. reprieve was newt, but
the whole ceremony of the execution was to proceed
until the erireinel was upon his kneel, with a cap over
his eyes, prepared to received the volley. It was ties
he was to he informed of his. pardon. No person was to
be told previously; and Colonel Campbell wag directed
not to inform even the firing party, who were warned
'km the almost for &slag world be the waving of a white
handkerchief. When all was prepared, and the cltryfyntau
had lift the prisoner on his knees in momentary expec•
'slim' of his fate, and the firing party were looking with
intense expectation for the signal, Colonel Campbell put
his band in his pocket for the reprieve, and in pulling out
the packet the white handkerchief accompanied it, which
catching the eyes of the party, they /red, and the unfortunate
Preemie, was shot dead ! The paper dropped through
Colonel Campbell's fingers, and clapping his hand
to his forehead, he exclaimed, " The curse of God and
of Gleneu Is here! f am an unfortunate ruined maw!"
He instantly (pitted the parade, and soon after retired
from the service. This retirement was not the result of
tiny reprimand on account of this unfortunate affair, as it
was known to be accidental. The imprmisi (((( on his
mind, however, was sever effaced. Nor is the massacre,
and the judgment which the people Inhere lass fallen on
the descendants of the principal actors in this hags dy, effaced
from thew recollection. They carefully note, that while the
family ot the unfortunate gamic-man who suffered is still
entire, and his estate press ad to direct arise succession
to his posterity, this is not the case with the poste-
rity, and estates of 1110411 who were the principotti, promoters,
and actors in the black affair.—(Sfearart's Sketches of lke
Manners, *cc! the Highlanders.)
