thus far to give him the meeting. On a is
Itoysl !byline's and his Noble Host, ffien ed
divine worship in the parish of Lagoin, cud on Mon-
day they advanced to Kinrara Lodge, the delightful
hunting seat of the Marquis of Huntly. The wea-
ther lima since proved admirable, and the time of the
distinguished pirty has been pleasantly divided
between the moors of Badenoch and the elegant hos-
pitalities of Kinrara. His Royal Highness is said
to have often expressed himself in glowing terms of
admiration, in the course of his journey through the
endless diversity of sublime, picturesque, and ro-
mantic scenery which enriches the route by which
he approached the Highlands; hut by nothing did
he appear so much work and delighted, as by a
scene nor jnreul by the imagination of Isis Noble
NA' at Kiiirara, and which almost realised the spa
parition of Rliodrric Ohu's mountain ambuscade.
Nonce Leopold, conducted by his host, ascended
Tor Aisle, where the Marchioness of Noisily. and a
sin iii party of Highland Ladies and Gentlemen,
waited to receive hint. In the middle of this cere-
monial. and ainidst a comparative stillness and soh-
tude, the piper suddenly sounded the rallying note.
" Wild as the scream of the curfew,
From crag to crag the signs' flew.
Instant, through copse and heath, arose
Hoeueta and spears and bonded bows;
(hi right, on left, above, below,
Sprung up at once the linking for;
From shingles grey their lances start,
The heacken hush scuds forth the dart;
The rushes and the willow wand
Are bristling into see and brand,
Aid every tuft of broom elves life
T. plaided warrioi armed fur strife—
Th it whisile garri•oued the glen
At once with full five hundred men."

hi as instant the height was transformed into
something like a beleaguered station, where the
Marquis and his guest stood pre-eminent, encircled
by several hundreds of hardy Highlanders, equipped
in the it native warlike wall—each pouring forth the
" wild greeting of the 31orintaineer" to the illus.

LIPS AND CORRE•SPONDENCR OF LADY
RUPY tILL.
This publication has* twofold claim to notice,
arising from the interesting portraitnre which it,
presents of the character of Lady Russell, and
from the clear and familiar details accompanying
it. concerning the times in which she lived. That
the kites. themselves are genuine, would be shun-
dandy manifest from internal evidence Moue ; but
their authenticity is placed beyond the shadow of a
doubt, by the fact, that they are given from ori-
ginals in the possession of his Grace the Duke of
Devonshire, who is descended front this excellent
Lady. The life which illustrates her correspond-
ence appears to be written in a kindred spirit, and
at the same time evinces great diversity cod extent
of research, not only into the received testimonies
of history, but into the records and traditions of
private families.
The most pathetic part of the narrative is un-
doubtedly that which relates to the tri4l and execu-
tion of Lord Russell. and which describes the he-
roic and devoted conduct of his wife in so dreadful
a crisis. As it would be vain to attempt an abridg-
ment of this impressive recital, we can only recom-
mend it with earnestness to the perusal of our
readers, and shall select one or two specimens from
the sequel. After exemplifying. in various ways,
the meek resignation with which Lady Russell bore
this catastrophe, the author thus alludes to the
effect produced on her feelitigs by an event which
had a more fortunate issue :

The trial and acquittal of Lord Delamere, is January
1686, is a sew cause of recurrence to ber own harder tale :
with the feeliop suggested by it, she is vain reproaches
herself.

14 When I should rejoice with them that do rejoice, I seek
a corner to weep in. I find I am capable of uu more glad-
ness; but every mew circumstance—the very comparing my
night of sorrow after sorb a day, with theirs of joy, dues,
front ■ reflection of one kind mother. rack my uneasy mind.
Though I am far from wishing the close of theirs like mine,
yet I cannot refrain geeing some time to lament mine was
nut like theirs."

The revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Lewis JV., the
number of Protestants, fugitives fur conscience sake, who
arrived in England, the cruelties exercised against those who
were not lucky enough to get away, and the severe regulations
made to prevent their escape, produced. this year, the live.
best sensation its England. The effects which these events
hail on tine general feeling of the country have not, perhaps,
been allowed their due weight among the causes which led di-
rectly to the Revolution : a Revolution which, proetiog by the
experience of the rebellion, correcting the negligence and
omissions of the restoration, preserving all that was good
in our previous government, and discarding much of the
evil, finally established a system of institutious the least de.
pendent on the indivitlii•l characters of meu that had then
beets wituessed, and, consequently,* scheme of polity, which
more than a century's experience in trying and difficult limes,
has proved to be the best ever yet imagined fur the govern.
meat of men in nn advanced period of civilisatiou.
Nothing could be more unlucky fur the views of James,
nor more unfavourable to his zealous ardour for the props.
gation of his religion, than this striking example, brought
so near home, of what might be its persecuting spirit under a
despotic Prince, nursed in its exclusive principle.. James
had been obliged, however unwillingly, to consent that a
brief should he read in all the Protestant congregations of
England in behalf of their sufferiug brethren from France.
•ru this brief his Chancellor, Jeffries, tree, as keeper of the
King's conscience, to what he knew were its real feelings,
twice delayed to put the seal, and afterwards made the qua-
lifications necessary to partake of the charity so many, and
their observance so strict, that few could avail themselves
of it.

The effect of these transactions on the truly Christian
mind of Lady Russell may be racily guessed, and are con-
firmed to us by the manner in which she had previously es-
pressed herself to Dr. Fitzwilliain, as to the qualities she
required in a domestic chaplain 6- I approve with you the
Church of Coe,land—the brat church and best offices and
services in it upon the face of the earth that we know of.
But, Sir, I shell covet uue so moderate, as not to be impa-
tient and paseionate against all such as cannot think so too;
but of such et temper as to be able to converse peaceably with
such as may have freedom in my family, though not of it,
without giving offence, and I take it to be the best way of
gabbing good people to our opinions.*

The memoir concludes with a Runnel between
ilie (Ammeters of Liuly Rurs.ll and Ma4l:ttie de

In the fancied niches of the Temple of Fame, which it is

lence in their respective countries; and the entirely separate
character of their minds, their les of thinking, their opi.
and their habits of life, may perhaps he found, nut

cellency:. of the two halloos to which they belong.
