An Adventurous Life.

The mournful intelligence has this week reached
us of the death of Robert Crichton Wyllie, Minister
of Foreign Affairs, &c., to the King of Hawaii—a
gentleman who raised himself by his indomitable
perseverance and talents to a high position of honour
and fame. He was born at Hazelbank, in the parish
of Dunlop, on the 13th October, 1798. He was

the second son of the late Alexander Wyllie, Esq.,
of Hazelbank, and Janet Crichton, of Cutstraw,
Stewarton. Those who knew him in boyhood can
well remember that from his earliest years he gave
every indication of being possessed of talents above
mediocrity. He received the first elements of
education under the late Mr. Bryce, parish teacher,
Dunlop, and afterwards for some time attended the
late Dr. Barr, of Glasgow, whilst he taught a num-
ber of families in the district of Broadlie, in this
parish. Thereafter Mr. Wyllie left for the college
in Glasgow, and received his medical diploma before
he was 20 years of age. He soon after left as
surgeon in a vessel bound for the North Seas, and
endured hardships and braved dangers like a true
Scotchman. He was thrice shipwrecked, and re-
turned to Liverpool, but not to home, having left
with the firm resolution to do so only after he had
earned a fame worthy of his name. Through the
instrumentality of his late teacher, Dr. Barr, who
was then in Liverpool, he re-embarked in a vessel
bound for South America, where he for a short time
practised as a surgeon, but soon turned his atten-
tion to mercantile affairs, for which, in tact and
talent, he was in every respect adapted. After a
sojourn of 14 years there he revisited his native
land, and, as one of the first fruits of his success,
built a mansion-house for his parents on the lands
of Hazlebank. He proved truly a devoted son, and
those who were acquainted with his aged parents
can well remember the feelings of pride and grati-
tude they ever cherished for him till their dying day.
He then, feeling time hanging heavy on his hand,
left for London, and was soon again engaged in
mercantile transactions. But, acting on an idea
which seemed to have actuated him, he went to the
Sandwich Islands, where for the last 20 years be
occupied an important field of usefulness with great
benefit to the natives there and much honour to
himself. It is gratifying to find that, from the
highest to the lowest in thatland of his adoption, all
are at one in testifying to his many virtues, and
recording his death as truly a national calamity.—

Palestine Exploration Fund.

A report has been received from Captain Wilson,
chaiemfasofeutsh:
Dec.rsfirst
2oof whichexpeditionof the followingassociation,tMs is h
datedt
Damascus, e
substance :

The party arrived at Beyrout at the end of
November, and left it for Damascus on the 10th of
December.

Surveying—Astronomical observations have been
obtained fixing the position of Beyrout, Mejdel-
Anjar, Baalbek, Surghaya, Suk Wady Barada, Da.
mascus, Tell Salhiyeh, and Harran el-Awamid.
The lakes east of Damascus were in course of explo-
ration.

Archieolog,y—Plans with detailed drawings and
photographs have been made of the old Temple at
Deir el Kalah (near Beyrout), the Temple at Mej-
del Anjar, the old city of Chaleis, a small Greek
church at Masi, the basilica of Theodosius at Baal-
bek (in the great quadrangle abutting on the west-
ern end of the great Temple, the back of the apsis
resting on the steps), the Temple at Ain Fijeh,
and the Roman gate Damascus—Bab Shurky.
The exploration of the Assyrian Mound at Tell
Salhiyeb, near Damascus, had been commenced. A
plan of the great mosque at Damascus, with photo-
graphs of details, was in course of execution.
Photographs—ln addition to those above men-
tioned, careful photographs of a large size had been
taken of various objects of interest along the road
between Beyrout and Damascus ; some of these for
the first time.

Inscriptions—At Tell Salliiyeli and Harm el-
Awaraid inscriptions had been found apparently
not hitherto known.

The expense of travelling appears to have risen
very greatly in Syria, owing to the locust plague of
the summer, and the murrain, which swept off the
cattle in the spring, and which is still raging vio-
lently in the north of Palestine.
Through the kindness of Earl Russell (one of the
committee of the fund) a firman has been forwarded
from the Porte to the Governor-General of Syria,
authorising and encouraging the researches of the
fund to the fullest extent. The Governor-General
has been profuse in his offers of assistance, and has
given every facility for carrying on the operations.
It is needless to say that from the English Consuls
at Beyrout and Damascus Captain Wilson has also
received every kindness and assistance.
The exact route to be taken by the party south
of Damascus will naturally depend somewhat on
circumstances, but it is intended and hoped that it
will include the following places :—Baulas, Kedes,
Tell-Hum and Khan Minyeh (Capernaum), Beisan,
Zerin (Jezreel), Nablus and Mount Gerizim, Sebas-
tiyeh (Samaria), Tibuch, Beitin, and that explora-
tions to good purpose
may be accomplished at each
of these before the setting in of summer, in April
or May, obliges the expedition to return.
A list of the subscriptions hitherto received for
the fund (amounting to £2,965 125.) will shortly be
published. In the meantime donations are earnestly
requested, and may be paid to his Grace the Arch-
bishop of York, president of the committee ; to
Messrs. Coutts and Co. and the Union Bank of
London (the bankers of the fund) ; or to the
honorary secretary, Mr. George Grove, Syden-
ham, S.E.

Another obstacle lies in the way of the satisfac-
tory settlement of the Jamaica inquiry, and it
behoves those who take an interest in the affair to
be on their guard, and not allow themselves to be
outwitted by Ministerial manoeuvres or party tactics.
The dangers of delay were fully proved in the case
of Denmark, and there are many signs apparent
which seem to foreshadow the adoption of a similar
system in this instance. Instead of all the different
members of the Commission proceeding together to
their place of destination, and also those who are to
wait on them and assist them, we find the party
subdivided in the most extraordinary . manner.
In fact it appears as if there was no defi-
nite plan or fixed purpose, except to gain
't This " dodge," for it
time, or rather to lose I '
can be called nothing else, is quite unworthy of the
•
Government of a great country 7 but at any rate it
will not do to let them have their own way. It is
said that a short-hand writer from the Government
will proceed to Jamaica in order to take notes of
.the evidence before the Royal Commission, and by
everymailto send notes to Government, so that
there may te .as little delay as possible in laying
the whole mass
_
of evidence before Parliament as
rLon as "the inqiiiry
has terminated." Then, and
not till then, it is
be presumed. Why should
not the inquiry, if it had been necessary to institute
one at all, have already commenced by this time—
it fi long while since .we Ant wad of it.

RICHMOND.

Watson gave Lozenge another beautiful gallop of a mile
and a half this morning. Elliott set Ameer to lead Molda-
via and Alice Fauconborg a like distance, and Moldavia ac-
quitted himself well. Zonobia was trotting about. Hawk-
swell was absent ; so was Roderick Random. Lord Zet-
land's horses were gently exercising in the home paddock.
Dear Tom and Honest Tom galloped nearly a couple of
miles.

Railway and other Companies.

CARLISLE AND SILLOTH BAY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Carlisle on Tuesday ; Mr. P. G. Dixon in the
chair.

The report of the directors stated that the contin-
gent rent paid by the North British Company this
half-year amounted to £Bll. This would not admit
of any dividend upon the ordinary stock of the com-
pany. The fixed half-yearly rent of £l,OOO, less
income tax, together with the balance of £9B brought
forward from last half-year, and £Bll already men-
tioned, after providing for the interest upon loans,
would admit of a dividend upon the preference stock
at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said the shareholders were all aware of the
reason why the directors were unable to pay a divi-
dend upon the original stock of the company. The
cause was the present condition of the North British
Railway. He trusted the steps which had been
taken as to the position of the company would result
its being placed upon a better basis, and in a little
time it would recover its proper position and this
company would partake in the improvement. In the
meantime they must look for better times in the
future. (Hear.)

Mr. HOPE seconded the motion, which was agreed
to.

The CHAIRMAN moved the payment of a
dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum upon
the preference stock of the company, which was also
agreed to.

Mr. P. J. Dixon and Mr. J. Irving were then re-
electedklirectors, and Mr. Cartnell auditor.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks
to the chairman.
London, England, 1866-10-18

GAINSBOROUGH—TuzsDAY.

A moderate supply of wheat offering to-day, prices for
which were in sellers' favour. Fine new, 52s to 54s ; fine
old, 50s to 61s. Barley changed hands at extreme quota-
tions. Oats steady, at top prices. Beans were scarce, and
in favour of tile seller.
London, England, 1866-10-18

MONMOUTHSHIRE-TUESDAY.

The markets have been pretty well attended, and the
supplies of most descriptions of grain good, especially
foreign wheat and barley, while several cargoes are ex"
pected to arrive. Holders of malting barley held out for
the current long quotations, and as buyers refused to give
them trade was far from active. For English beans prices
ruled firm.

The following are the average quotations:—Wheat, red,
6s 3d to 68 9d per bushel ; white, 6s 9d to 7s Od ; inferior,
4s 6d to 5s Od ; malting barley, 38s to 43s per qr ; grind-
ing ditto, 32s to 358 Od; beans, 44s ; white oats, 25s to 290;
black ditto, 24s 9d to 26s 6d.

MALTON.

Taraban won a rough trial this morning, and is sure to
run up for the Criterion, even if he does not win. His
condition is superb, and he comes of a good stock.
Klarinska galloped two miles and a half, and Amazon was
in good work. War and Bird of Bye have been turned up
for the season. Lord Exeter's horses are to be eased for
awhile now. Rondinolla and Knight of the Grove galloped
a mile and a quarter. The Lion has got into work again,
and now accompanies Treasure Trove, who goes very
free.
London, England, 1866-10-18

NE IV 31ARKE T.

We have had another change in the weather, a nasty,
rusty rain falling some time early this morning. Trainers,
therefore, did no more business than they could possibly
avoid. Several strangers have arrived already for the
Cambridgeshire Stakes race, and amongst them we noticed
Lozenge and Pepper's Ghost. The former went a steady
mile and a half gallop with Louisa, and the other galloped
a similar distance by himself. Actaca was following
Ostregor beautifully, and all declare here that she is
bound to get a place, having ran so fast in the Cesare-
witch, and her action continuing so free. The Scheldt was
in faster and longer work this morning ; and Broomielaw,
Out-and-Outer, Vespasia.n, and Mineral were doing their
usual amount of exercise, Breadalbane• still taking it easy.
Chepstow and Caithness went a mile and a half clipping,
and Regalia galloped further than that; Saladin did a
mile only. Jollity again took a mile and three-quarters'
gallop. Ambition was striding beautifully over a mile
and a quarter. Tomahawk followed Breeze fully a, mile
and a half, and Dalesman did a little more. The Duke of
York looks and does uncommonly well, and is a sure run-
nor, despite his 71b penalty. Paris galloped a mile and a
half fast, moving splendidly. Roland was in mile work,
but Peon, Il Re Galantuomo, Mount Palatine, Robin Hood,
Guinivere, Medina, Claxton, Sultan, Fluerette, Puebla,
Lightning, Countersign, and other Cambridgeshire nags,
were doing from a mile and a quarter to a mile and a half.
The two-year-olds progressed well. Gladiateur is going
first-class.

FIRE IN THE ROYAL PALACE AT BRUSSELS—The
King's palace at Brussels has narrowly escaped being
burnt to the ground. A fire which had been smouldering
for several hours during the night was perceived on Satur-
day morning about seven, when it had burned away the
flooring of ono of the rooms and destroyed several valuable
pictures, amongst them one representing our Saviour, by
Eubens, and various objects of art brought by the present
King from Egypt. The firemen being called in were soon
able to extinguish the flames. The loss is estimated at not
less than 400,000 f. The disaster is attributed to the care-
lessness of a workman who the evening before lit a fire in
an adjoining room, and on going away omitted to see that
it was extinguished.

cc THE ATLANTIC CARLE."--MORGAN, BAKER-
STREET.—This is a spirited international song,
dedicated to the Two Great Nations—England and
America. The words are by George Smith, Esq.,
and are most ably set to music by Mr. G. Cole, a
gentleman well known in the musical world. Such
a patriotic composition will doubtless aid in cement-
ing the kindly and friendly relations which should
ever exist between two such powerful countries.

The Yorkshire Wold Tumuli.

For two weeks past a party of arclueologists have ac-
companied the Rev. 'William Greehwell, of Durham, in a
scientific examination of the sepulchral mounds of the
Wolds, attributed to the pre-historic peoples who inhabited
Northumbria. The rev. gentleman has had openings made
in presence of Sir John Lubbock, the late President of the
Ethnological Society ; Mr. Fairless Barber, of Castle-hill ;
Mr. Rastrick, President of the Huddersfield Archaeological
Society ; Mr. J. W. Barnes, of Durham ; Mr. J. Burgess,
of Brighouse ; the Rev. Frederick Porter, of Yedingham ;
the Rev. J. Mason, of Sherburn ; the Rev. Mr.• Heslop, of
Weaverthorpe ; Mr. George Pycock, of Malton ; and Mr.
Southwell, of Winchesteollinois, United States, the last
named gentleman giving valuable information respecting
the burial customs of the Indian tribes, and pointing out
the analogy between them and those shown by the exhu-
mation of British burials. Much interest has been aroused
in the work, and the "diggings" have been daily visited
by the gentry of the district and several ladies.
Considerable discussion has resulted from the discoveries
made in the spring of the present year by the Rev. Mr.
Porter and Mr. Monkman in the barrows of the Sherburn
Wolds; those barrows yielding, in addition to the usual un-
disturbed and contracted burials of the Britons, strange
deposits on their eastern sides of broken-up human bodies,
evidently dismembered before burial The theory of canni-
balism among the Britons was supposed to have received
another confirmation by these discoveries, and with a view
to push the investigation the one remaining barrow on the
same wold was first opened. Strangely enough this barrow
yielded nothing save traces of fire, one fragment of human
bone, and six or eight "scrapers" or "thumb flints" strewn
among the soil composing it ; and the examination of three
houses on the adjoining wold yielded no better results; the
contents, in fact, had been completely destroyed by those
destructive implements, the drag-harrow and the plough.
As regarded the peculiar feature sought the openings on
Sherburn Wold were a failure.
The next openings were made in the " Hone-hill Field,"
on Ganton Wold, near Scarborough, the property of Sir
Charles Legard. Here many years ago one of the largest of
