THE DESCENDANTS OB FLORA MACDONALD.—WO
learn with much satisfaction that her Majesty the Queen
has been pleased to grant the sum of 501. as a gift to
Miss Mackay, the great granddaughter, and only des-
cendant of that relationship now alive, of the famous
Flora Macdonald. The recipient is unable to do any-
thing
to provide for herself, and, through the kind ser-
vices of the Premier, Lord Aberdeen, this grant has
been obtained. There are descendants of Flora by a
sister of the recipient of this gift, but the sister died
about a year ago.— Glasgow Examiner.
MILITIA TRAINING IN 1854.—The Militia Bill having
given her Majesty in Council power to extend or rednce
the period of the training of the militia in England and
Wales, provided the whole period of such training in any
one year do not exceed fifty-six days nor be less than three,
last night's Gazette contains the announcement that her
Majesty, by and with the advice of her Privy Council, ha 0
been pleased to order that the whole period of exercise and
training of all the regiments and corps in England and
Wales, during the present year, shall not in any case
exceed fifty-six days nor be less than three.
