SIR WILLIAM WALLACE.

Great Britain appears just now to be smitten with
a mania for monuments and testimonials. In Eng-
land subscription lists are opened for the purpo-,e of
perpetuating the memory of the go-.kl Duke of CAm•
bridge and the Lime of the Poet Wordsworth; while
the pence of the millions are invited to bestow a like
honour upon Sir It ,bert Peel, the undertaker of
Protection, and upon Ebenezr Eliot, the midwife of
Free Trade. In \Vales the virtues of Sir Charles
Morgan are committed to enduring marble, and in
Scotland we are informed by the Caledonian Mercury,
that " public attention has lately been attracted to
the propriety of erecting a national monument to Sir
William Wallace, the illustrious Champion of Scot-
land."

Everybody has chne homage to the goodness of
heart justly attributed to the late Duke of Cambridge
—who has not felt and admired the poetic genius of
the high-principled Wordsworth ?—Sir Robert Peel's
name, for good or ill, has during the last quarter of
a century been sounded from Laud's End to John o'
Groat's—the Corn-law Rhymer is not unknown as
poet laureate to the Manchester monster, on the altar
of which Sir Robert Peel sacrificed his party and his
country—even the exertions of the Welsh baronet to
make his native mountains produce other stock than
goats, and her valleys other food than leeks, are of a
modern and practical character—but when we cross
the border, we must leave corn and cattle, charity
and poetry, and travel at once into the regions of
romance.

Sir William Wallace is a hero whose deeds, like
those of Homer's warriors, are enwrapt in the mists
of ages, and are revealqd only to modern gaz3 by the
verse of Thomas the Rhymer, the Scottish Homer, or
of his rival "The Minstrel." Lord Hailes, who
writes from these and like authorities, says
Wallace, the most famous man of the age in which
he lived, deserved to be compared with the most re-
nowned captains of ancient times, both for hid great-
ness of mind in undertaking dangers, and for his
wisdom and valour in overcoming them. For love
to his country he was second to none, who, when
others were slaves, was alone free ; neither could he
be induced by rewards nor moved by threats to for-
sake the public cause which he had once undertaken.
His death was the more to be lamented because he
was not conquered by his enemy, but betrayed by his
friend. He bad every excellence—strength of body,
keen courage, a spirit active and ambitious. By his
affability he conciliated the affections of his followers;
by the force of native eloquence he moulded their
passions to his will ; by calm intrepidity and perse-
vering wisdom he maintained an authority over the
rude and undisciplined multitudes which crowded to
his standard.

" The stature of Wallace is asserted by all his his-
torians to have been remarkably large, and his
strength extraordinary. liollinshead says, he was
a young gentleman of so huge a stature and notable
strength of bodie, with such skill and knowledge in
warlike enterprises, and of such hardiness in attempt-
ing all manner of exploits, that his match was not
any where lightlie to be found.' "
The minstrel describes him thus :
" Wallace statur of gretness and of hycbt,
Was jugyt thus, be discretion off rycbt,
That saw him, both in dissembii* and weid;-1-
Nyne quarter:l large he was in length, indeid:
Thryd part in schuldrys braid was he,
Rycht sembly, strong, and lusty for to see:
Biwand§ bron haryt, on bron an i breis lycht;
Clear asprdj eyne, like to the diamonds brycht;
Under the on the left side, was seyne
Be hurt a wain; his colour was sanguine;
Wounds he hail in many divers place;
But fair and weill kepyt was his face."

Oar Scottish neighbours will doubtless erect a mo-
nument worthy of so distinguished a patriot, and in
order to fasten the enterprise upon those who might
be stimulated by pride of descent, the Caledonian
Mercury, after a lengthened history of Wallace,
enters into an inquiry whether any of his descendants
still exist, and where the principal residence of the
family is fixed, from which it appears that the present
representative of the family is Mr. Be llie Cochrane,
the Member for Bridport.
" The following brief account (says our contem-
porary) of the Baines of Lamington, who are lineally
descended from the champion of Scotland, is princi-
pally compiled from the seine source to which we
have already been indebted for the narrative of Wal-
lace, and may prove interesting to the admirers of
the Scottish patriot, by whom, after the lapse so many
centuries, a tardy act of national justice is about to
be performed to one who, when others were slaves,
was alone free ; and for love to his country was second
to none.:

"Perhaps no family in Britain can boast of a des-
cent more illustrious than that of Baillie of Laming-
ton, that has so fully preserved its original possessions,
and that retains still among its numerous descendents
so much of its original talent, than is, the subject of
the present memoir.
" It is well known that Sir William Wallace mar-
ried the only daughter and heiress of —s—Braidfoot,
of Lamington, about the year 1296, by which he ac-
quired that valuable property in Lanarkshire (con-
sisting of about 4,000 acres, on the right banks of
the Clyde, about twelve miles south-east of Lanark),
and by that lady had an only child, a daughter, who
was married to Sir William Balliol, or Baillie, of
Hoprig and Penstoun, but afterwards designed of
Lamington, as being the more extensive domain, and
both these other places (in the East Lothian) con-
tinue in the possession of the family to the present
day, as also Lamington itself.
" Alexander Baillie, of Castlecary, who was held
to have been a very learned and ingenious antiquary,
deduces the B sillies from the Balliols, and, in parti-
cular, traces the pedigree of Baillie, of Lamington
(the head of the family), from that illustrious house.'
William de Balliol, according to this authority, was
the second son of Sir Alexander Balliol, of Cavern,
uncle to John Balliol, King of Scots, and Great
Chamberlain of Scotland in 1298. He was possessed
of the lands of Penstoun and Hoprig, in East Lo
thian, and Carnbrace in Clydesdale, which are the
most ancient possessions the Baillies of Lamington
had, and which circumstance is of itself corroborative
of their being the same with the Balliols, which name
was afterwards softened down to Baillie, the modern
appellation. This Laird of Penstoun, after the abdi-
cation of his cousin John Balliol, King of Scots,
joined with great zsal the other patriots in defending
the liberties of their country against the encroach-
ments of the English, which rendered him so obnoxious
to King Edward 1., that he was fined in four years'
rent of his lands in 1297. This William de Balliol
appears to be the same with William Baillie, who
married the d iugihter of Wallace, the heiress of La-
mingt(in. This will accord with what Blair, the his-
torian of Wallace, writes, as quoted by the continu-
ation of Nisbet Sir William's daughter was mar-
ried to a squire of the Balliol blood, who in that way
got the barony of Lamington. The date of this mar-
riage I have nowhere met with. Bat as Wallace, in
revenge for the death of his wife, slew Hesilrig, the
Governor of Lanark, in the year 1297, his daughter
must have been born before that time ; and it may be
concluded that, as she was an heiress of so valuable
property as Lamington, she would not be beyond the
ordinary years of life when she was married. Tnis
may therefore be stated, as a probable conjecture, to
have been about the year 1315, or a year or two
sooner or later.'

" Oar limits prevent us from referring more parti-
cularly to the successive heads of this distinguished
tamily, equally distinguished for the alliances which
they contracted, and for the part which they took in
the service of their Sovereigns and country for many
generations. To come to more modern times, we find
the representation of the descendants of Wallace and
the succession of the ancient property of Lamington
devo ving on a female heiress of Margaret Baitlie,
daughter of the fifteenth Baron of Lamington, by a
daughter of William, the sixteenth Earl of Crawford.
The heiress of Lamington married Sir James Carnal •
chael, of Bonnytoun (of Bennington), who sunk big
estate into that of Lamington, and to the heirs of the
marriage, the heirs male being to use the name of
Baillie and the arms of Lamington. This lady, who
died on the 11th of Slitember, 1759, had by Sir
James Carmichael, Williatn BAillie, of Lamington,
who died without issue in 1738, end a daughter Hen-
rietta Baillie, the heiress of Lamington, Hoprig, arid
Penstoun. She married on the 11th of October,
1741, Robert Dundas, of Arnistoun, afterwards Lord
President of the Court of Session, and was succeeded
by her son William B tithe, of Lamington, who, dying
shortly after his mother, the representation of Wallace 'a
descendants, and the estates of the Lamington family,
devolved on his eldest sister, Elizabeth Baillie, who
married, on the 6th of September, 1762, the gallant
' Captain Lockhart, of the Tart4r,': after wards Admiral
Sir John Lockhart Ross, of Lockhart Hall and BAna-
gown. Bart. By this distinguished officer, who died
in 1790, she had five sons, the late General Sir
Charles Ross, of Balnagown, Bart. • James, a post
captain in the navy, who married Bart.
Farquharsor,
heiress of Iu veremild ; George, formerly one of the
judges of the Consistorial or Commissary Court in

LONDON,

Edinburgh ; John, a colonel in the Coldstream
Guards, who was killed at Talavera ; Robert, lieu-
tenant-c donel of the 4;h Royal Irish Dragoon Guar Is.
Lady Ross Baill e died in 1819. On her death the
representation of the family of Millie, of Leamington
and of the Guardian of Scotland, remained for some
time uncertain, till her grandson, the present Sir
Charles Russ, of Balnagown, came of age, when he
had in his option either the succession to his paternal
estates in Ross-shire, or his grandmother's extensive
estates of Lamington, lloprig, and Penstoun. The
succession, and we presume, therefore, the representa-
tion of the subject of this memoir ultimately devolved
on the present head of this ancient family, Alexander-
D undas Ross- Cochrane- Wisheart-Baillie of Laming-
ton, M.P., in right of his mother Matilda (who
married Admiral Sir Thomas Cochreni in 1812),
daughter of General Sir Charles Ross by his first
marriage with Maria Teresa, daughter of Janes
Lockhart, of Lee and Carn wath, Count of the lioly
Roman Empire. The present Sir Charles William
August Ross, of B.lnagown, Bart., by whose prefe-
rence of the Ross. shire estates the succession of La-
mington devolved on his cousin, h the only male
is,ue of the late General Sir Charles Ross by his
second wife, Lady Mary Rebecca Fitzgerald, eldest
daughter of William Robert, second Duke of Leinster,
besides the present baronet, the late Sir Charles left
four surviving daughters.
"The representation of the family of Sir William
Wallace has now, therefore, devolved on either the
present proprietor of Lamington, or his cousin, Sir
Charles 11. A. Ross, of Balnagown. As Sir C. Ross
has formally resigned his claims to the property of
Lamington, in favour of Mr. Cochrane Baillie, it is
presumed that the present head of the Lamington
family is properly the representative of the Regent of
Scotland.

"Ilia point, however, is one of a strictly genealo-
gical nature, which it is not our province to deter-
mine. The representation of the Guardian of Scot-
land certainly belongs to the family of the late La,ly
Ross Baillie, of Lamington ; but whether Mr. Baillie,
the present proprietor of that property, or Sir Charles
Ross, Bart., of Balnagown, more properly represents
the subject of this memoir, we do not undertake to
decide. That all the existing members, however, of
this ancient family, on whom the representation of
Wallace has devolved, through a long line of distin-
guished progenitors, may emulate the virtues of their
illustrious ancestor, should form their proud and
laudable ambition, as it must surely form the ardent
hope and desire of every admirer of the Scottish
Patriot—of every true, loyal, and Scottish heart."

DEATH OF LORD LEIGH.

We regret to announce the death of the Right Hon.
Lord Leigh, which took place at Bonn; on the Rhine,
on Friday last, at a quarter before 10 A.M. It appears
that some weeks ago his Lordship had left England
for the benefit of his health, which had been seriously
impaired. On Thursday last he was pronounced to
be progressing se favourably towards recovery, that
he had resolved to return home. On the same night,
however, at 10 o'clock, his Lordship was seized with
an apoplectic fir, and from that hour he continued
senseless until the following morning, when he died.
Lady Leigh and her family were with his Lordship
at the time of his death. Lord Leigh was the author
of a volume of poems, which obtained some
favour at the time of their publication, and
his name has since been rendered somewhat
conspicuous in certain legal proceedings,
through which a fruitless attempt was made to
question his Lordship's title to the estates he enjoyed.
The late Lord Leigh was the first baron of that
name, and was created in the year 1839. He was
the son of James Henry Leigh, Esq , by the eldest
daughter of the tenth Lord Saye and Sele. Ile was
married iu the month of March, 1819, to the eldest
daughter of the Rev. Wm. Shippen Willes, of
Astrop House, Northamptonshire. His Lordship
was descended from Sir Thomas Leigh, lint., Lord
Mayor of London in 1558, and was great grandson
of Sir Peter Leigh, Knight-Baronet., who fell
at Agincourt. Lord Leigh was in his 60th
year when he died. He
,will be succeeded in
the title by his eldest son, the Honourable William
Henry Leigh. The principal estate of the family is
Stoneleigh Abbey, in Warwickshire, and there is
also property appertaining to the title in six other
counties of England. The body of the deceased
peer is expected to arrive in London on Sunday
morning, on its way to Stoneleigh Abbey, for inter-
ment in the family vault.

PROPOSED SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH
BETWEEN ENGLAND AND IRELAND.
Negotiations are being entered into with the Lords
of the Admiralty and Government authorities for the
establishment across St. George's Channel of a suba-
queous telegraph, upon a similar though much more
extensive scale to that now being undertaken between
England and France, the promoters of which have, it
is understood, after considerable interviews and
treaty, come to terms this week with the French
Government for the exclusive possession of
the proposed electric line from the French coast to
Calais. Preliminary surveys have been made for this
proposed - oceanic communication across the Irish
Channel, and the coasts on either side, combined with
the submarine site ascertained by soundings for the
sinking of the wires, are found, owing to the founda-
tion being comparatively free from rocks and shoals
as compared with the Straits of Dover, and with treble
the extent of channel, to be favourable. Notices of
the intention of the promoters to apply to Parliament
next session for an authorization to lay down the line
will be given. The precise points at which telegra-
phic stations on the English and Irish coasts will be
established, will depend on the result of the Govern-
ment Commission now pursuing its inquiry into the
best place for the establishment on the west of Ireland
of a greet Transatlantic packet station. At present two
telegraphic routes are proposed; the one of 64 miles
across the Channel, from Holyhead to Kingstown
and Dublin, and thence by the Great Southern and
Western Railway on to Cork and Galway—the other
from St. David's Head, on the Welsh coast, and on to
Wexford, Waterford, and the extreme western points
of Ireland to 13,Tehaven and Crookhaven, the latter
being the last points touched at by vessels outward-
bound for the Atlantic. From this point, on the ex-
treme western coast of Ireland to Halifax, the nearest
telegraphic station on the American side, the distance
is 2,155 miles, and as this might be accomplished by
the steamers in five or six days, England, by means of
the net-work of telegraphic communication in exist-
ence on the Atlantic sea-board on the one side, and
the Lake Frontiers on the other, may be put in
possession of all political and commercial intelligence
from the American and European continents in six
days instead of as now in 12 or 14. The project,
though it is asserted it might be done with safety,
does not contemplate anything like the immense en-
terprise of a wire under the Atlantic.

ENROLLED PENSIONERS.
The following circular, authorizing staff-officers of
pensioners to call out the enrolled force for drill
during this month, has been issued from the Ilor,e-
Guards :

" War-office, September 27, 1850.
" Sir,—l am directed to request that you will forth-
with make the necessary arrangements for calling out
the enrulled pensioners under your command for four
days exercise in the course of the ensuing month. In
the event, however, of your men having already been
out, either for drill or in aid of the civil power, for m,,re
than six days, you will only assemble them on the pre-
sent occasion for 90 many as will complete ten days in
all, which number is on no account to be exceeded during
the present year; and if you have not already done so,
you may forward an estimate of the money required for
this service.

" You will report the days on which your drill is to
commence and terminate to the commanding officer of
the garrison and the general officer of the district, in
case they have any orders or instructions to issue for
your guidance, or in case they should wish to see your
men under arms; aid you will also report the days of
exercise to this office.

"I am further to request that you will not fail imme-
diately on the dismissal of the men, when assembled
ei .her for drill or iu aid of the civil power, to forward to
this offier. a parade state in the usual form, as required
by the regulations.

"I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
" L, SULIVAN."

MASONS' AND SCULPTORS' PROVIDENT INSTITU-
TION. —Last night a meeting of the subscribers to the above
institution was held in the Mechanics' Institution, Great
Smith-street, Westminster, to receive the report and for the
first election of pensioners; Mr. William Tite, F.R.S., presi-
dent, in the chair. The funded Capital at present amounts to
350/. in Three per Cent. Consols. The institution, which is
yet in its infancy, 1143 met with the support of many of the
employers, who have liberally subscribed to its funds, and
signified their intention of further encouragement, provided
a disposition is shown on the part of the operatives to sup-
port it. It is calculated that of the operative classes there
are about 4,000 in London and the suburbs, and above
26,009 in the United Kingdom. The object of the institu-
tion is the granting yearly pensions to aged and necessitous
members of the trade, their widows or orphans, and the erec-
tion and maintenance of an asylum. The report was adopted,
and two candidates were placed on the pension fund at 7s.
each per week.

The spot chosen was a level" field, of between four and
five acres, immeiiately behind the Debtors' Ward, St.
Thomas, and several hundreds assembled to witness the
feat. The large quantity
of rain which had fallen the
previous day, and the heavy showers during the day
itself, had rendered the ground damp and more than or-
dinarily unfavourable to the man, notwithstanding
which be found man
qual distances of 70 feet eight hurdles were fixed, and
3' backers. Round the field at
to complete the distance and the number of jumps re-
quired six circuits and two hurdles more. At 20
minutes to 4 the start was made, and during the first
round the horse took the lead, waiting fur
his opponent very leisurely. At the third jump the man
caught his foot, but did not tall. During the second
round the man was evidently permitted to go a-head.
During the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds the
horse led, usually walking, except when put to the leaps.
At the first leap of the sixth round the horse knocked
down a hurdle, and had to return and go over clear, but
it was pretty evident that the man's chance was very
small indeed, and the mare came in a winner by nearly
two minutes. It is right to mention that the mare fre-
quently knocked her teat in going over, but she was

at a pace very little above by her owner, Mr. W.
a walk at any time. The whole distance was accom-
plished in 16 minutes and a half. The man took his

leaps in a style pronounced beautiful by the sporting men

The mare is very well, but not thoroughbred.
