MR. GRANT OF CORRYMONY.—This venerable
gentleman, the father of the Scottish Bar, died at Lake-
field, Glen Urquhart, in this county, on Sunday last, and
was interred this day. He was in his 93d year. Mr.
Grant was an accomplished scholar and antiquary, and—
what is not often united to these qualities—he was a first-
rate musician, both vocal and instrumental. He was
author of a work on " The Origin of the Gael," and he
also wrote treatises on the origin of language and society.
He was early distinguished for his liberal political princi-
ples, and associated with the celebrated Henry Erskine,
and other eminent men of that day, and subsequently with
Sir James Mackintosh, Mr. Horner, &c. He retained his
faculties to the last, and, from the extent and variety of
hiq attainments, was a delightful companion.:—Inverness
Courier.

CHRIST'S HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday, according to
annual custom, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and Governors of
Christ's HOspital, after having attended divine service and
heard the anniversary sermon, proceeded in state to the
great hall of this institution, to hear the orations delivered
by the two senior scholars. At 1 o'clock the Lord Mayor
and Sheriffs, attended by the city, officers and civic digni-
taries, entered the hall. As soon as they had taken their
seats, the platform from which the orations are deli-
vered was wheeled up in front of them, and Mr. Joseph
Christian, who was to speak the Latin oration, ascended
and commenced. The speech, which was well delivered,
after eulogizing the munificence of the founders and advert-
ing to the subjects more immediately connected with the
hospital, conveyed, amongst other things, an elegant allusion
to the genius of Charles Lamh, who received his education
at this foundation. At the conclusion Mr. Christian was
greeted with the loud plaudits of the audience. The
English oration was delivered by Mr. Edward Railton. It
was spoken with considerable energy, and was a correct
and eloquent specimen of English composition. Mr. Rail-
ton, who is a connexion of the Rev. J. Boyer, formerly head
master of Christ's Hospital, adverted to this fact in his
address, and took an opportunity of paying a high compli-
ment to the characters of Coleridge and Middleton, who
were educated under the superintendence of his relation.
Mr. Railton received the same tribute of applause as his
predecessor on the platform, and a liberal collection was
made in the hall for the two scholars, who proceed imme-
diately to Cambridge.
MORE FACTION FIGHTING.—A large party of
those detestable rioters, well supplied with fire-arms on
both sides, assembled on Thursday to fight it out at the
fair of Knockaderry. On one side were arrayed• the
Curtins and Mulcahys—on the other, the Leahys and the
Connors. Sub-Inspector Smith was on the ground with
the military and police to prevent a collision. One party
was in strong position in a wood contiguous to the fair-
green, and the other party on a hill opposite them, from
which positions they continued firing shots in defiance of
each other. The Curtin party at length retired, being the
less numerous of the -two, leaving the field and its glories
to the Leahys, without a life lost or a blow given. Among
the parties there were from forty to fifty stand of arms.
Shame on the men that cannot turn their energies and
strength to a better purpose—the support of their families,
and the advancement of their country's prosperity.—Li-
Merick Star.
