BURNS'S MONUMENT.—The monument erected
to the memory of Burns upon the Calton Hill has been for
some time finished so far as regards the elegant structure itself,
but the design of railing off and planting the adjacent ground°
so as to complete it in due taste, remains unfulfilled for the
want of funds. About a hundred pounds or so would accom-
plish this end, and what must a stranger think of the en-
lightened and rich metropolis of Scotland, when he sees thi§
token of remembrance for one whose genius dignified the name
of Caledonia, suffered to remain unadorned and neglected, for
the paltry consideration of a few pounds ! We believe it i§
only necessary to call public attention to the subject, to have,
the monument immediately completed as at first designed, and
in noticing this fact we are glad to perceive that it can now be
done in a way which must be agreeable to all the admirers of
our national Bard. A prospectus has been put into our hands
intimating the publication of a song dedicated to the lady
Sir John Campbell, M. P. for Edinburgh, the profits of which
are to be applied to the object mentioned above. There are
associations connected with this plan with which every lover
of his country must be pleased. The song is by Henry S'
Riddell, set to music by Peter M'Leod, Esq., and both the
words and the melody are Scottish in feeling and. power. The
dedication is intended to honour the lady of one of our worthy'
representatives, from whose patriotic spirit Scotland may ex-
pect to reap many advantages. And the profits of the song
being devoted for the completion of our metropolitan monu-
ment to Scotia's favourite bard ; all these considerations must
operate powerfully to accomplish the object desired. The
price of the song is only 25., and we would think less of the
fair daughters of Caledonia, especially those of the Three Lo-
thians, if they ever awoke a strain of Burns, and grudged the
small pecuniary assistance required to complete his monument
in Edinburgh.—Scotsman.
The olive trees in the south of France had all
flowered, notwithstanding the extreme dryness of the season,
which has done so much injury in Provence; but the olive.s
have all dropped from the trees, so that there will be no
harvest in the department of the Var. There is a very exten-
sive exportation of wines to Algiers.

CLACKMANNAN.—Tuesday being the anniversal
of the battle of Banriockburn, a flag, with the motto, ,g Scot
land is Free," was hoisted in commemoration of the event, 011
the Tower of Clackmannan, the ancient seat of King Robert
the Bruce ; as also another, with the Scottish arms, on the
ancient stone from which the town derives its name, which hal
been elevated on a solid pedestal of granite, ten feet high and
weighing twelve tons. King Robert the Bruce having stop
ped at this stone in order to fix his spur, went away and le
his mannan, or glove, in the clack or rent in the stone. Ile
had proceeded about half a mile to the south when he dis-
covered his loss, and mentioned it to one of his attendants/
who answered, " Stop here and look about ye, and I shall,
return for it." The place where this occurred is still called
" Look about ye," from the circumstance, and hence the
derivation of Clackmannan, from the old word clack, or rent:
and mannan, which signified a glove. The stone is stilt
preserved, and held in high veneration by the inhabitants...."
Scotsman.

NEW LOCOMOTIVE MACHINE.-Mr. Akrill, $
very ingenious mechanic of Boston, has discovered a mode by
which a person may easily propel himself on common roads'
at a speed of from eight to ten miles per hour, without any
expenditure in material, save the cost of the carriage I The
construction of the vehicle is remarkably light ; the body 18
on four wheels ; and the impetus is effected by the pressure,
of the feet upon some concealed machinery, the nature 0'
which the proprietor keeps a secret, though he willine
shows the carriage to every one except professed mechanics.
At an elevation of about four feet the conductor sits, and be,
is enabled to guide it with the utmost accuracy ; to suspend
the motion in an instant; to turn to right or left; or to Vie
it a backward progress. Besides the mechanical power, horti-
ever, the inventor has called the winds to his aid ; for should
the traveller be favoured with propitious gales, he can by diet
introduction of a common umbrella in front, avail himself e`
an additional accelerator, the lightness of the vehicle and the
elevation of the conductor rendering the least breeze sufficient
to give the carriage an onward progress. Important as tble
invention is on its own account, however, it is doubly so bF,i
cause it contains a principle which the projector declares Wl'
nearly abolish the friction which has ever been so great e
drawback to the powers of the mighty steam-engine, and the
removal of which will increase the powers and diminish the
cost of those engines to an almost incredible extent.—Lincols-
shire Chronicle.
