TILE LATE MR. WEIR.

(From the Globe.)

The Daily News announces the death of its
principal editor, Mr. William Weir an announce-
ment which will occasion genuine regret, and not
alone within the walls of the office. A student at
the universities of Scotland and of Germany, and at
the Scottish bar, Mr. Weir bad acquired a most
accomplished familiarity with history, literature,
and law, in the spirit of those studies as well as in
the letter. Endowed with natural taste, which his
friendship with congenial minds had developed and
refined, he was widely read in the artistic as well
as graver sides of modern literature. It may be
said that he was master of the library of Europe.
Of geography he had made a special study, and was
at home in any part of the map of the world. His
friends justly anticipated for him a brilliant career
at the Scottish bar, and ultimately no doubt in
Parliament, whose debates he would have en-

lightened and adorned ; but a strong, incurable, and
increasing deafness drove him from the profession
of law into journalism ; to which he brought attain-
ments such as few writers ommand, a
generous heart and a flowing pen. Indeed one
of the two faults that beset him m his career—the
barrier which his deafness opposed to easy conver-
sation being the second—was almost a redundant
readiness with the pen, which at times induced him
to do scanty justice to his own maturer thought.
But wise at heart, almost universally informed,
possessing a memory tenacious and ever at call, he
.could not hold his post without earning a high re-
pute. The grief of those who knew him at their
sudden loss is lessened—not increased, as we some-
times fancy—by the reflection that, if there was
one thing of which William Weir was incapable,
it was to do anything ungenerous, coldhearted, or
ungraceful.

(From the Times.)
Under this title the Daily News publishes a well-
earned tribute to the memory of its late editor—a
gentleman to whom the public is greatly indebted
for the able and honest conduct of that journal.
We have often differed with it, but never without
sincere respect for the ability and the gentlemanly
spirit in which it was conducted—a spirit which
has made it, the youngest of our contemporaries, a
Worthy representative of the English press.

The Duchess of Inverness entertained a select
circle at dinner, on Wednesday evening, at her apartments
in Kensington Palace.
FALKIRK TRYST.—Wednesday, Sept. 15.—The
show to-day
came fully up to the numbers anticipated from
the close of yesterday's proceedings. About nine o'clock
a good quantity of stuff was shown of various kinds.
There were few buyers to-day, more particularly from
the west country, in consequence of a fair at talloch,
in Dumbartonshire. There were more two-year-old West
Highland stots than were expected on the ground to-
day, which brought equally good prices as yesterday,
also the stirks of this kind of stock. The north
country cattle were somewhat short in point of num-
bers, but the really good heifers and stets were at no
less a figure than yesterday. A few of the inferior hinds
would be 5 per cent. below yesterday's prices as re-
ported. There were a few Irish cattle, which met with little
encouragement to-day; and the sales made amongst this
kind would be about 24 per cent. below the price of yester-
day. The heavier cattle, although few in number, were
readily picked up, and unless a few inferior beasts, suffered
no reduction from yesterday. At the close of the market,
those unsold were driven off for the southern jobbing
markets. The old cows from the islands, and from Argyle-
shire, 'were large in number ; but they got very little en-
couragement, with one or two exceptions for the better
class, which brought even a shade higher than yesterday ;
but the second class was about 5 per cent. below yester-
day, and the inferior kinds Wei., unsukahlc. At the close
of the Purkfit cumber were left =tad. •
