GLENGARRY.--A respected correspondent
writes us—" Although this chief is 'far, far away ' from his
own people, yet still there exists an attachment and regard for
himself and family, among his clansmen, which, in this age, it
is pleasing to contemplate. 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 °flirr to drink their absent
chief's health, at the same time making liberal provision for
that purpose. Early on the morning of the 3d of June,
Mr. Mackay of Tellysoo displayed his flag at the inn,
and about eleven o'clock, groups of the ceatharnachs
were seen advancing from deep glen and from mountain
so rocky,' to the place of rendezvous. Meanwhile, the
pipes swelled forth the Macdonell's gathering, while Mr:
Mackay was busily jarring the blood of John Barleycorn, for
the libertines at Creagan-an-Fhithich. tit twelve o'clock,
about 100 men arranged in order before the inn, a-41
drank a bumper to her Majesty.' 'I pipers then struck
up 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-Dhugliaill, till they ar-
rived at Glengarry Castle and Creagan-an-Fhithich, still
retained as part of the family property. The flag was
soon planted on the highest toner, and the gatherin7,'
which, by this time, swelled to a formidable band,
drank, Health and prosperity to Mac-Mhic- Master, in
the land of his sojourn, and may ke soon return to ti e
and of his fathers.' fhree thrilling cheers followed, which
made 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 heal:hs of Mr. and Mrs. Bonar were
then quaffed, and the rest of the Glengarry family. On this
the clansmen, two abreast, marched through the park, till they
came to Invergarry House ; then they halted, and drank the
health of Lord Ward. From Invergarry House they marched
back, with pipes and banner, as before, till they came to the
inn. A table was here liberally provided, with appropriate
edibles and mountain-dew, and several other healthy were
drank. The dance W 23 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 man oc-
casionally enjoy, and which it is equally delightful to see the
rich man occasionally indulge."--Inverness 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 iu 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 ])jouni) appeared to Commodore
Napier, the evening before lie 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"—

EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE TN STEAM-

TO YOUR TENTS, 0 ISRAEL !

The day of repose and inactivity has passed ! Ever)
man gifted with the franchise has now to exert himself
for the well-being of his country, tin- the preservation
of its trade, and the employment of its millions. Parlia-
ment will be prorogued on Thursday, and dissolved on
Friday. The election writs are now actively preparing,
and in a fortnight hence the country will be shaken
with the most fierce election contest that has ever
taken place. The 'whole ramifications of monopoly
will be set in motion ; every principle of selfish-
ness will be excited, every subterfuge attempted.
every deceit resorted to ; yet the good cause must and
will prevail ! All the benign influences of truth, mercy,
and justice, are ranged under the banner of the people,
and success awaits their exertions. Our most gracious
Queen remains firm in her resolve to abide by the prin-
ciples of liberality and freedom, which have been incul-
cated on her mind since childhood. Ministers go, to the
country with clean hands : although they have been de-
prived, by Tory jesuitry and malignity, from explaining
within the walls of Parliament the full extent of their
liberal propositions, enough . has been enunciated to
arose the public mind into determined action, by which
the sophistries of the monopolists will be indignantly
flung aside, and the exploded principles of exclusiveness
and class-preference scattered to the four winds of heaven.

Notwitfistanding, however, that the Queen and the
Ministry extend their aid to the important struggle, the
people themselves, as the parties more immediately inte-
rested, are especially called into exertien. By their
efforts shall the extent of their power be made known,
and by the changes which they make in the representa-
tion will the prospect of success be secured. The Tories
and Monopolists have given ample evidence of their de-
termination to withhold every possible advantage from
the people ' • and it only remains for the electors to dis-
charge the functions with which they are entrusted for
the national benefit in a proper manner to prostrate the
faction once and for ever. Let every man consider it a
particular duty to exert himself for the public weal—let
every elector consider his vote of importance to the
commonwealth, and a barrier will be raised up against
oppression and misrule which neither Tory fraud, inti-
midation, nor deceit shall be able to surmount, to under-
mine, or to overturn.—British Queen.
