G LENGARRY,L—A respected correspondent
writ's us—" Although this chief is 'far, far away ' from his
own people, vet still there exi,ts attachment and regard for
himself and family, among his clansmen, which, in this age, it
is pleasing to comemplate. On hearing of Glengarry's safe
arrival in Australia, A. Bonar, Esq., of London, communi-
cated that happy 'intelligence to the clan, inviting them
to assemble at Invergarry, in order to drink their absent
chief's heath, at the same time making liberal provision for
that purpo e. Early on the morning of the 3d of June,
Mr. Ma, kay of Tu'lvsoo displayed his flag at the inn,
and about. eleven o'clock, groups of the ceatharnachs
were :een advancing fi out deep glen and from moui.tain
s t rocky,' to the place of rendezvous. Meanwh.le, the
pipes swelled forth the Macdonell's gathering, while Mr.
Mackay was busily jarring the blood of John Barleycorn, for
the, libertines at Crea:lan-an-Fhithich. At twelve o'clock,
about 100 men arranged in order before the inn, ILA
drank a bumper to her Majesty.' The pipers then struck
lip gillean an fheilidh,' and the procession marched with
flying colours round by the romantic bridge of Garry, and
the green shades of Tom-lain-Id-Dhugt all, till they ar-
rved at Glengarry Castle and Creagan-an-Fhithich, still
retained as part of the family property. The flag was
soot planted on the highe,t to.:er, and the eathering.'
which, by this time, swelled to a formidable band,
drank, Health and prosperity to Mac- Nlhic- Master, in
the land of his sojourn, and may he soon return to the
and of his fathers.' Three thrilling cheers followed, which
matte the woods and hills resound. The sun shone forth in
the midst of a summer shower, and the green leaves shed hearty
tears of sympathy. The heat he of Mr. and Mrs. Bonar were
then quaffed, and the rest of the Glengarry family. On this
ac clansmen, two abreast, marched through the park, till they
came to Invergarry House ; then they halted, and drank the
health of Lore Ward. From Invergarry House they marched
hack, ' with pipes and banner, as before,' till they came to the
inn. A table was here liberally provided, with anpropriate
edibles and mountain-dew, and several other healths were
drank. The dance was set up to the inspiring music of the
pipes, and the remainder of the evening was spent in that joy-
ous manner which it is so delightful to see the poor min oc-
casionally enjoy, and which it is equally delight al to see the
rich man occasionally indulge"—lnverness Courier.

The following is an extract of a letter from a
British officer of rank, dated Beyrout, April 17, 1841 :
" There is no story you cannot make a Syrian believe.
They have a firm belief in the existence of giants. I amuse
myself by going into their cottages at night, and sitting
down on the floor, in the family circle; I tell them long stories
about the Spanish giants, (translated by my dragoman),
which they listen to with open mouths. I told them the
other night, that once in Spain I was on the eve of being
made prisoner, when a giant, a great friend of mine,,
came to the rescue, and killed 700 men with two blows
of a stick, and carried me away to a high mountain,
where he fed me for two months on young eagles ; all
which they quite believe. I said again that St. George
(who is buried near Djouni) appeared to Commodore
Napier, the evening before he landed, and assured him
of the conquest of Syria ; and a priest who was present
said it was most probable, and they all believe it"—
Brighton Gazette.
HAILSTORM.—Tite Canton of Pouliguen, in
the Loire Inferieure, was on the 31st ult. visited by a tre-
mendous storm, which covered the lands with hailstone!, some
of which are said to have been as large as pullets' eggs. The
college at Guerands had 403 panes of grass broken, and the
total number destroyed in the town is estimated at 4,000.
One of the painted windows of the church, representing the
different scenes of the Pa lion, and which was one of the finest
specimens of the ut,d Is age, was entirely destroyed. All the
country round was severely damaged. At St. Brieuc the
lightning was terrific. At Dinan the electric fluid struck
some poplars, divert.ing the branches in all directions, some to
the distance of more than thirty yards. The ground at the
foot of one of the trees was trenched as if the plough had been
used, and yet a man who had taken shelter under the trees
with some horses escaped without injury, though dreadfully
a4rrned. Theantique church tow( r f Blamontin, in the Illeurthe,
which resisted all the attacks of the Swedes in the wars of the
seventh century, has also hen very wuch shattered. rle
iron work, immense beams of oak, and even some of the
Teassive blocks of stone, we'e split and•displaced, the roof was
entirely broken downs and t'thtr rioient di,,,,ge-a5 done to
this wont straetwe.
