INVASION or CUDA.—Armaments are in course of'
preparation in the United States for the invasion of Cuba;
and they are still carrying on, in defiance of the strong
prohibition of the President. Various explanations of
this strange movement are given. Accordion. to some,
the United States marchanti have large capital invested
in Cuba, and they are preparing for a revolution, by
which the yoke of Spain shall be thrown off, and Cuba
shall be attached to the great Republic. According to '
others, the people of the Southern Slave States wish to
annex Cuba, to strengt},en the Slavery cause in Congress.
According to others, the object is to command the Gulf
of Mexico, and to aggrandize still fuether the vast
Saxon republic. It is said that the President is resolved
to intercept the ornament ere it reaches Cuba. Should
it arrive there and succeed in revolutionizing the island,
the United States will be awkwardly embroiled with
Spain.—LeedB illerczvy.
ALISON, TUE HISTORIAN, AT COURT.—We under•
stand that Sheriff Alison left Glasgow this morning for
Balmoral, by special invitation of her rtiojcsty.—,Nwth

THE ALLEGED MURDER OF A GAMEREEFE..„ HAMILTON,—The Sl
person suspected of having murciereg,
the gamekeeper Kirby, near Hamilton, on lit;
nesday night, was apprehended on Thuriu'-',
morning. He was immediately conveyed t° /b a
Calton Pal ce- office, where he at oi ce confessf
that he had been the cause of the unfortunate gall/re
keeper's death,, but alleged that it was purely til
result of accident. He stated that he had been ebl/l,
f
longed by the deceased with poaching on the Duke " „
Hamilton's grounds, who, after considerable altercati°l4
set the dogs with which he was accompanied on
by whom he was torn to the ground, and in the conl4
of the scuffle his gun accidentally went off, and ,
contents were lodged in tho deceased's body, kiltlnhim on the spot-. He was immediately conveyeii"
by Thomson in a cab to Hamilton, where he
be examined by the Sheriff in the course of t',_
day. In reference to the prisoner's explanation of the
occurrence, we learn that a fact has come out in til
course of the examination of the body of deceased,
with which it can be with difficultv reconciled. It I°4
been found that instead of' the balls having penetrate
the heart in a vertical direction, as would have 1001
likely the case if the gun had gone off accidentally lit
the course of a scofil.., they have passed straight
through, thereby leading to the supposition that len
des d must have been the result of design rather than n`
accident.—Aortle British Mail.
THE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER,—.We have received
various accounts of the
quantity of game this seasoo,
but we believe that by the majority of sportsmen 13°L4,
birds and hares are considered, to use an agricultural
phrase, below an average supply. We speak, of course'
only of this neighbourhood.— Western Flying Post.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] —The most effectulil Cure for
Gout and Rheumatism is Holloway's Ointment and Pills.--1?
frequent cause of these complaints is the inflammatory state 0`
the blood, as they are generally attended with bad digestion,
lassitude, and great debility, showing the want of a proper cir'
culation of the fluids, and that impurity of the blood greatly
aggravates these painful disorders. Holloway's Pills are of sc:
purifying a nature that a few doses taken in tree is an effectual
preventive against gout and rheumatism, but any ono that 130
an attack from either should use Holloway's Ointment also, the
powerful properties of which, combined with the effect of the
Pills, ensures a certain cure.--Sold by all Druggists, and it',
