THE NORTHEBN MEETING.
INVERNESS, SEPT. 11.—This great annual gather-
ing of Highland chiefs and proprietors, and of sports-
men from the south, was commenced here on Thurs-
day and concluded list night. The attendance was
more numerous, perhaps, than on any previous oc-
casion, for owing to the fine weather with which we
have been favoured this season, and the absence of any
absorbing attraction in the south, there has been an
unparalleled influx into the Highlands of sportsmen
of every description, of 'visitors at the houses of tht
northern nobility, and of tourists from every part of
England and the Continent. These have flocked in
great numbers to Inverness to witness the festivities
at the northern meeting, which is the modern desig.
nation for the great Highland gathering, known in the
famous Duke of Gordon's time as the Northern Hunt.
The constitution of the meeting is so far changed that
for field sports and horse .racing have been substituted
piping and dancing. The northern meeting, however,i.
still
the most thoroughly Celtic demonstration ot
which we can boast. At the Scottish fete, in Hol•
land-park,
many of the best Highland games were
con tested by
a majority of the same brawny High-
landers who came forward at Inverness and at Brae-
mar; but then there is neither the noble panorama of
mountains which surround this picturesque town, nor
the presence of the chivalry of the north, the lineal
descendants of the same men who followed the for-
tunes of Dundee and Prince Charlie. In the large
park in which the games were celebrated during the
last two days, many thousand persons were assem-
bled ; and though clans and clanships are utterly de-
molished, yet of those present fully three-fourths bear
the names of chieftains with whom the readers of his-
tory are familiar.
The Duke of Richmond, the patron of the northern
meeting, did not attend; but the vice-president, Lord
&howl, and Lord Lovat, took an active part in the
proceedings.
The games which came off here on Thursday were
putting the stone, tossing the caber, throwing the
hammer, &c. The hammer was thrown 96 feet three
inches by Donald Fraser, of Upper KWh] ; the best
throw ever known to be made at Inverness. Samuel
Kennedy, the big-boned, red-headed celt of Bade-
noch, who regularly appears at the Scottish fete,
tossed with ease a huge caber, which baffled the
strength and skill of every other competitor. Yester-
day was set apart for the competition of pipers and
dancers. The winner of the gold medal was Alex-
ander M'Kerizie, piper to the Marquis of Breadalbane,
a hale and hearty grey old man.
The prizes for dancing called forth a large host of
light-footed competitors from the braes of Strathspey.
The sword dance and Ghillie Callum were never bet-
ter performed, and the reels were given with great
zest and spirit._

A ball, very brilliantly and numerously attended,
concluded the festivities of each day.
Amongst those present were Lady Ann Mqienzie,
Lady Carolina Townsley, Lady Lovat, Lady Mostyn,
&c. ; Prince Massino, the Earl of Leicester, Hon. F.
Dundas, M.P., Hon. L. Grant and Hon. Lewis Grant)
of Seafield, Hon. Mr. Abercromby of Birkenbog.,
Hon. J. Gordon, Sir C. Hope Vere, Sir Henry Wil-
more, Sir Piers Mostyn, Sir Adam Hay, Sir Robert
Meuziee, Count Moratt, Mr. Matheson, m.p., &c.

COLLISION ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN
RAILIVAY.—A collision took place near Leighton Buzzard
yesterday morning, September 13. The 6.30 down train,
which was a very heavy one, with a powerful engine,
marked 110, driven by James Pattison, left the Euston
terminus at its usual time, being due at Leighton at 7.48,
where it arrived in due course, carrying a large number of
second and third-class passengers. The pilot engine came
up to the Leighton station. and having been attached to the
down train, proceeded with it over the single line to that
point where the relaying of the up line at this point termi-
nated. The pilot was then unhooked from the engine of
the 6.30 A u. down train, and proceeded at a rapid speed on
to the crossing, in order to pass on to the up line to allow the
down train to pass. The pilot engine had nearly reached
the crossing, and was partially crossing on to the up line,
when the down train, the engine of which had been kept by
Pattison the driver following at a great speed, caught the
left-hand hind buffer of the tender, dashing it across the line
down the embankment and throwing the pilot engine round
across the up line. The passenger down train had its front
stove in, and was also, together with its ten' er, thrown over
across the down line, and four and five of the carriages of the
down train also being thrown off the down line, the road
was perfectly blocked. With the exception of one gentle-
man, who had his face severely cut with the glass of one of
the carriage windows, and injury to one of the heels of the
policeman who was on the pilot engine, we understand that
no one received really serious injury. _ _

MANSLAUGHTER AT LIVERPOOL. -On Sunday
morning last, about one o'clock, a widow, named Grace
Jones, was killed by her son-in-law, Thomas Yates, under
the following melancholy circumstances:—About midnight
he went home and found his wife in a state of intoxication.
Being irritated, he commenced beating her, when her mother
interfered, and Yates struck her on the throat, knocking her
down the steps into the yard, and causing a compound frac-
ture of the skull, from which the deceased immediately ex-
pired. A post mortar/ examination has been ordered, and
Yates is in custody.
