DESTRUCTION OF TULLOCH CAS-
TLE, ROSS-SHIRE, byFlßt.l. LOSS of JEWELS,
&c.
( Abridged from the Edinburgh Advertiser of Friday.)
We regret to state that almost the whole of the fine mansion-
house of Tulloch Castle, near Dingwall, with a large portion of
its rich and valuable furniture, some family portraits and pic-
tures, the library, and other effects, have been destroyed by fire.
This lamentable catastrophe occurred early on Monday
morning last. The fire was first discovered by the proprietor,
Duncan Davidson, Esq., of Tulloch, who, going to his bed-
room about two o'clock, found. the apartment filled with
smoke and flame, and presenting a most alarming appear-
ance. The family were all from home, with the exception
of the youngest child, and no man-servant being on the
premises, Mr. Davidson ran to the square to rouse the gar-
dener and farm servants. A messenger was also dispatched
to Dingwall, when the town bell was rung and a great
number of persons flocked to the spot. By this time the fire
had spread to a small parlour adjoining the bed-room, and com-
municated to the attics, which, with the roof, were soon all in
flames. Water was procured from a well in the flower-garden,
and was also conveyed by means of hones from a spot half a
mile distant; but it was obvious that no efforts of this kind
could avert destruction. The fire spread to the western divi-
sion of the building, and the attention of all parties was turned
to save some of the most valuable of the furniture, and cut off
the communication with the back part of the castle. The dining-
room and drawing•room (the latter a rich and splendid apart-
ment) were both destroyed, but a few of the paintings were
saved. Fortunately some valuable pictures, by the Italian
and Dutch masters, had been sent to Edinburgh to be
cleaned and repaired, and the family plate had been de-
posited a. short time before in the safe of the Caledonian
Bank, at Dingwall. The chartulary, containing the title-
deeds of the property and family, was saved. The wines
in the cellar were removed, and the crystals and choice articles
also preserved. While Mr. Davidson (the proprietor) and his
friends were attempting to carry off some of the paintings from
the drawing-room, the ceiling fell in, and they narrowly es-
caped with their lives. The billiard-room and library were
consumed, and the old tower (occupied only by bed-rooms),
was also destroyed. By nine o'clock in the morning nothing
remained of the interior of Tulloch Castle but the bare walls
and smouldering ruins. By means of axes, hammers, &c., a
large gap was cut across the building, and the communication
of the fire being thus arrested, theeback wings, containing the
servants' apartments, remained uninjured. We are happy to
add that no accident occurred. Many persons, in their eager-
ness to render assistance, placed themselves in situations of im-
minent danger, and nothing could exceed the coolness and in-
trepidity with which the tradesmen and workpeople endea-
voured, though ineffectually, to stop the progress of the flames.
Mr. Davidson himself wrought manfully by the side of his
sympathising and warm-hearted neighbours, and was mainly
instrumental in saving the remnant of his effects. The house
and furniture, we understand, were only partially insured.
The unfortunate accident would appear to have originated
from a lighted candle left in the bed-room. Our reporter,
whom we sent to the spot, was informed that no fire had been
made in the bed•room that day. Mr. Davidson, it was be-
lieved, had entered the apartment in the course of the evening,
and returned to his study to finish the writing of some letters,
on which he had been engaged. Whilst thus employed, he
came aware of the presence of fire in some part of the house,
and rushing to his bed-room discovered, but too late, the fatal
progress of destruction.
Amongst other things, a carved oak table, which had for-
merly belonged to the Fowlis family, known as the " speaker's
table," with the furniture, clothes, wardrobes—in short, all
above the drawing-room was entirely destroyed. Unfortunately
the late Mrs. Davidson's jewels, watches, trinkets, &c., in a
wardrobe containing valuable dresses and other things, were in
a room up stairs, to which no access could be obtained during
the fire, and have perished.

1 REVISING BARRISTERS.—A return, extendinz to
seven pages, has been printed, by order of the House of Com-
mons, showing the operations of the revising barristers of last
year. It contains the names of the barristers, with the days
they were employed. They are now paid 2001. each, including
expenses, and the revision which, on its commencement, cost
the country 31,0001., has been reduced to about one-half of that
sum. Last year, the Court of Common Pleas decided seven
appeals from counties; two were for the appellants, and five
tor the respondents. From cities and boroughs, there were 23
appeals; 17 were in favour of the respondents, and the re-
mainder for the appellants. Last year, costs were ordered for
the first time—the highest amount was 221. 2s. ; and the
smallest, 71. 15s. Bd.

ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASTER
AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—KENDAL, JULY 18.—We regret
to announce that another accident has taken place on this line,
attended with fatal consequences. Yesterday morning the
17th instant, a boy named Savage, about 15 years of age, whilst
following his employment as a driver, on the Lancaster and Car-
lisle Railway, in the neighbourhood of Burton, was driving a
horse attached to a train of waggons, laden with earth, when
his foot tripped upon a stone, and he fell across the rails ; he
was pushed along the line by the train, to-• a distance of forty
yards after he fell, in the course of which two of the waggons
an over the lower part of his body and killed him. This
afternoon an inquest was held on the body. The verdict was,
" Killed accidentally, by being run over by the wheel of a rail-
way waggon."

The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prine
of Wales and the Princess Royal, left town in a carriage an

Her Majesty and her Royal Consort were conducted to their
carriage by the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse,
the Vice-Chamberlain, the Earl of Hardwicke, the Marquis of
Granby, and the Hon. Captain Huod.
The royal party was escorted by a party of Light Dragoons
from Buckingham Palace to the terminus of the South-Western
Railway at Nine Elms, and left town for Gosport by a specie
train.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prine
of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess
Alice, arrived at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, at seven o'clock
on Saturday.

ROYAL VISIT TO THE ISLE OF

WIGHT.
i PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY.—Her Majesty, Princo Albert,
and suite, with their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales,
Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice,
arrived at Gosport this afternoon, at a quarter-past four, per
special train from Vauxhall (which left at five minufes past
two), en route to the new royal marine residence, Osborne,
Isle of Wight.
Her Majesty was received on alighting from the train by
Major-General Pakenham and staff, and Colonel Henderson,
Mr. Sheddon, Mr. Martin, Mr. Beattie, and Mr. Watkins, of
the South-Western Railway Company, arid a guard of honour
of the 76th Regiment, under the command of Major Grubbe.
At sixteen minutes past four the royal party left, in two car-
riages, far the Clarence victualling establishment, escorted by
General Pakenham, where they were received on alighting by
Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, Bart. (Sir C. Rowley's health
not permitting him to leave the Admiralty-house), Captain
Carter, superintendent of the establishment; Flag-Lieutenant
Wilmot, Captain Moubray, Colonel Malet, of the Bth Regi-
ment ; Majors Martin, Longfield, Hartley, and Skelly ; Cap-
tain Pakenham, Mr. Town, Master-Attendant ; and Mr.
Grant, Storekeeper of the Establishment ; and a guard of
honour of the 37th Regiment, under the command of Major
Francklyn.
At twenty-five minutes past two o'clock the royal party em-
barked in the new state barge, steered by Lord Adolphus Fits-
clarence, and proceeded on board the royal yacht. The at-
tendants followed in another barge.
At the time of the embarkation it was dead low water with a
spring tide (when the water runs lowest), consequently it was
not:considered safe to venture out of harbour until the tide had
risen somewhat. The men upon the yards of the Victory were
piped down, and the yacht remained at her moorings forty
minutes. At ten minutes past five o'clock sufficient water had
sowed, and the yacht got under weigh. The royal party were
all on deck, and on nearing the Victory her Majesty and Prince
.tlbert held the royal children up on the port side of the vessel
to the view of the seamen, who responded to the gratifying act
by a thundering cheer, during which time Prince Albert re-
mained uncovered. The usual royal salutes were fired by the
ships in harbour and the platform battery. The Fairy screw
tender followed the royal yacht, which, on passing the Hibernia
at Spithead, made signal to her small consort to " get up her
steam—full power," and try her rate of speed with the Victoria
and Albert, which was accordingly done, and a trial of speed
between the two vessels commenced, but the Fairy did not draw
upon her larger consort, and from the time the signal was wade
up to the end of the voyage the Fairy had lost full a mile.
The Hibernia manned her yards, and dressed in colours and
saluted as the royal vessel approached. Vice-Admiral Parker
expected her Majesty to visit his ship, and had prepared her for
the royal inspection ; the companion was handsomely decorated,
and every other feature connected with the decoration of the
ship attended to, but the yacht steamed on.
At 25 minutes past 6 the royal visitors landed at the Medina-
pier, Cowes harbour, and proceeded in the royal equipages in
waiting direct to Osborne House, under the usual salutes from
the yacht squadron and battery and West Cowes Castle.
Her Majesty has signified her intention of remaining at Os-
borne 14 days.
The royal yacht and Fairy tender remain in attendance.
Her Majesty and the Prince continued on the paddle-box-
bridge nearly the whole of the voyage, and looked in excellent
health and spirits, as did the royal children.
We are sorry to be compelled to mention an act of gross
impertinence and breach of faith committed by a numerous
assemblage, who, by the kindness of Mr. Watkins, were per-
mitted to witness the arrival of the royal train on one side of
the Gosport terminus. These persons, immediately on the stop-
ping of the train, and before the royal party were seated in the
private carriages, rushed pell melt across the rails to the ar-
rival side of the station, and thrust themselves roost rudely
against the royal children and attendants, and on their de-
parture turned their attention to the royal state carriage, which
they climbed about, scratched, and otherwise most imperti-
nently interfered with.
The arrangements made by Mr. Watkins, the superinten-
dent of the Gosport terminus, were upon this, as upon every
previous occasion, most admirable, not only for her Majesty's
comfort and convenience, hut also for the accommodation of a
numerous class of applicants for his courtesy, of which the
parties above alluded to formed an unwrrthy portion. We
trust, however, the knowledge that their conduct was
observed and noted will deter them from the exercise
of future impertinent curiosity. The result, for the present,
is the suspension of the privilege of entering the station on
occasions of royal visits.

LITERATURE.
POEMS. By Eliza Cook. Second Series.

The lovers of poetry have lamented that in this age
of civilization and intelligence, while every other species
of literature improves and advances, poetry alone—the
noblest and highest of the whole—has seemed to decline
and fade away. They ask why we must seek for genius
only in the past—is there not more wisdom, more learn-
ing in the present day?—is not education more widely
diffused, the intellect more cultivated, the taste more re-
fined ? Why then are the inspirations of the poet
counted but among the things that were? To those who
speak thus we would reply, their own arguments convey
their answer. The march of intellect has effected
wonders, its progress is vivifying as the sun ; learning
and knowledge improve by civilization, but poetry needs
no adventitious aid. Science may require investigation
and research, philosophy needs experience and reflection,
but who would " gild refined gold?' Genius requires
no teacher but nature ; the unstudied effusions of the
heart are the brightest and the best. It is for this reason
that poetry has declined : we have sought to refine that
which is itself the essence of all refinement, to improve
the highest efforts of human intelligence—what wonder
if we have failed? The hot-house flowers may be
lovely, but they have lost the perfume of their native
mountains. True poetry must be unstudied as nature,
free as freedom itself—

" Immortal habitant of mind,
And catch its beauty from the day, its music from the wind."
It is for this reason that the poems of Eliza Cook have
obtained such celebrity. Free from the vain embellish-
ments of art, they are, like beauty, " whea unadorned
adorned the most." They come from the heart of the
writer, and will touch a responsive chord in the breasts
of all who read them. It is unnecessary to recommend
this volume to the attention of those who are acquainted
with the first; the admirers of true poetry will find in it
the same unstudied charms, the language of simplicity
and truth.

" Compared to this, Italian trills are tame."

In the introduction Miss Cook observes—

" I can only write from my heart, and that heart has been
left from infancy to the mercy of its own intense impulses.
My rhyming tendency developed itself at a very early age, but
the tones of judicious praise, or improving censure, never met
my ear. The advantage of an enlightened, nay even a common
education was denied me, lest Knowledge should only serve to
foster Poetry, and make a sentimental fool' of me. I was
left like a wild colt on the fresh and boundless common of
Nature, to pick up a mouthful of Truth where I could. The
woods and forests became my tutors : the rippling stream and
bulrush sighing in the wind whispered to me in sweet and
gentle breathings : the silver stars in the measureless night-
sky, and the bright flowers in my morning path awoke my
wonder, and opened the portals that led to the high and mys-
terious temple of Thought. God and Creation were before
my eyes in all their glory, and as an untaught child I wor-
shipped the Being who had endowed me with power to con-
template his works, and ' rejoice therein.' "

Many of the poems are evidently recollections of child-
hood, and are written in an easy, inartificial style. Some
are devoted to the simplest objects—" The Old Straw
Fiat," " The Room of the Household," and others of the
same description ; but even the humblest subjects pos-
sess a charm from the natural and unaffected manner in
which they are depicted. It might be said of this au-
thoress, " Quod tangit ornat."
The following are specimens of the more serious
poems:—

THE FUTURE.
It was good, it was kind, in the Wise One above
To fling Destiny's veil o'er the face of our years,
That we dread not the blow that shall strike at our love,
And expect not the beams that shall dry up our tears.

Did we know that the voices now gentle and bland
Will forego the fond word and the whispering tone ;
Did we know that the eager and warm pressing hand
Will be joyfully forward in " casting the stone ;"

Did we know the affection engrossing our soul
NVill end, as it oft does, in madness and pain ;
That the passionate breast will but hazard its rest,
And be wreck'd on the shore it is panting to gain ;

Oh ! did we but know of the shadows so nigh,
The world would indeed be a prison of gloom ;
All light would be quench'd in youth's eloquent eye,
And the prayer-lisping infant would a,k for the tomb.

For if Hope be a star that may lead us astray,
And " deceiveth the heart,' as the aged ones preach;
Yet 'twas Mercy that gave it, to beacon our way,
Though its halo illumes where we never can reach.

Though Friendship but flit, like a meteor gleam,
Though it burst, like a morn•-lighted bubble of dew,
Though it passes away, like a leaf on the stream,
Yet 'tis bliss while we fancy the vision is true.

Oh I 'tis well that the future is hid from our sight;
That we walk in the sunshine, nor dream of the cloud;
That we cherish a flower, and think not of blight,
That we dance on the loom that may weave us a shroud.

It was good, it was kind, in the Vise One above,
To fling Destiny's veil o'er the face of our years,
That we dread not the blow that shall strike at our love,
And expect not the beams that shall dry up our tears.

agonising scene that would ensue if the messenger ever sue;
ceeded in making his way back ; and after Kre Gamache had
said grace after dinner. Lord Jermyn entreated him not t
retire, but to stay to offer the yet unconscious widow all the
consolation she could derive from the miniiters of her religion'

assembly, and the heart of her most concerned in the approach.
ing tidings was still agitated by the sharp pangs of hope !pyre
" The actual truth had been communicated to the
Gamache, who thus had nothing to distract his observstill
from the effect of the authentic tidings on the mind of the
hapless queen : but what words can we find so forcibly tn
delineate this climax of a royal tragedy, as those of him "*1;:,
drew it from the life ? 'At this grievous intelligence,' 810
Pere Gamache, I felt my whole frame shudder, and 01
forced to turn aside from the royal circle, where conversati°ll,
went on for an hour on divers matters, without any subject
being started which had the effect of diverting the mind of 10
queen from the dire inquietude under which it was secret /
oppressed. At last, she complained piteously of the tardinl
of her messenger, and said that he ought to have return!
before with his tidings.' Then Lord Jermyn spoke: The
gentleman dispatched on this errand,' he said, is known t°
so faithful, and so prompt in executing all your Majesty's COT:
mands, that, if he had had aught but very disastrous tiding', -
would have been in your presence ere this.'
Whatever they may be,' replied the Queen, ' I see that
you know them full well.
" ' I do indeed know somewhat,' replied Lord Jermyn'
Then the Queen, dreadfully alarmed, entreated him to sPe'
less darkly, and, after many circumvolutions and ambiguoui
words,;he at length explained the horrid truth to her, who never
expected such intelligence."
":oh, the cruel kindness of those who undertake to break ea'
lamitous tidings by degrees ! And yet sudden death has been
known to follow such a tale too bluntly told, and indeed ttg
communication, as it was, almost stopped the springs of
when the widowed Queen at length was brought to colnPre'
hend her loss.
" ' She stood,' continues Pere Gamache, 'motionless a 5 s
statue, without words and without tears. A great phil°s°Ph!r
has said that ordinary griefs allow the heart to sigh and the "Pa
to murmur • but that extraordinary afflictions, terrible an
fatal, cast the soul into stupor, and, by locking up the sense!'
make the tongue mute, and the eyes tearless." If the good fa-
ther had been, like Charles 1., himself a reader of Shakspeareo!
he would have described the state into which the royal widow
was plunged, by that exquisite quotation :
' The grief that cannot speak,
Whispers the o'er-fraught heart, and bids it break.'

" To all our exhortations and arguments,' the Pere c°°.
tinues, " our Queen was deaf and insensible. At last, awed
r
by her appalling grief, we ceased talking, and stood round
in perturbed silence, some sighing, some weeping, all with
mournful and sympathising looks, bent on her immovablecoun;
tenance. So we continued till nightfall, when the Duchess °I
Vendome, whom our Queen tenderly loved, came to see her.
Weeping, she took the hand of the royal widow, and tendeof
kissed it : and at last succeeded in awakening her from
plungedtri
stupor of grief into which she had been since she b
comprehended the dreadful death of her husband. She was
able to sigh and weep, and soon expressed a desire to retire

says, admitted to her bedside, where I fell on my knees, an
she gave me her hand, amidst a thousand sobs, which oftell
choked her speech. She commanded me to tell my Queen the
state in which I found her ; that King Charles, her lord, who'°
death had made her the most afflicted woman on the wide eartbi
had been lost because none of those in whom he trusted had
I°ls
him the truth ; and that a people, when irritated, was like
ferocious beast, whose rage nothing can moderate, as the girl°
her lord, had just proved ; and that she prayed God that tl.l
Queen-Regent might be more fortunate in France, than s 1
and King Charles had been in England. Rut, above all, abe
counselled her to hear the truth, and to labour to discover it,
for she believed that the greatest evil that could befal soft:
reigns, was to rest in ignorance of the truth, which ignoranr,
reverses thrones and destroys empires. That if I was re°
faithful to my Queen ( Anne of Austria), I should tell be,
these things, and speak to her clearly on the state of bes;
affairs ; and she finished with an affectionate remembrance I W
to make to my Queen, in her name.'
Then the afflicted Queen gave me some orders relative tf.
'the interests of the young King, her son, (become Charles hi
through the lamentable death of his father.) she entreate:
that he might be recognised as such by the King and Q: ht
of France, and that her second son, James, Duke of York, ou,g
receive the same entertainment as the King, his brother, PA
done previously. As she reiterated these requests, she wrun°,
my hand, and said to me, with a burst of grief and tendernessf
I have lost a King, a husband, and a friend, whose loss / o
never sufficiently mourn, and this separation must render t 0

and words of this afflicted Queen touched me deeply. Bens
the sympathy I felt in her grief, I was astonished at thew, °

she seemed to foresee for us ; nor did I ever forget the dise°,° to
of this Princess, who, enlightened by adversity, seemen..,,

avenue, long wanted, from the north to the south ss
London. There is also every reason to believe that the I°t'ef
required establishment of the courts of law in a central Pgl,reen
the metropolis will be accomplished. Surveyors have tich
engaged during the past week in measuring the new site, w"ard,
is to extend from Boswell-court, Carey-street, to Bell-Y ing
Temple-bar, extending back towards the Strand, thus bripgway
the courts close to Lincoln's Inn and the Temple, and midi of
between the east and west and north and south porti":00
London. The plan is consistent with common sense 00 4
convenience of the public, although long opposed by the tat.
and bigoted influence of a few old crones who keep ceerleitt,
and find it desirable to combine Parliamentary with legal
terests. The plans will be carried out by Mr. Barry, the :rte
brated architect, and, c• mbined with the new streets,
and south, east and west, referred to above, will indeed
boor, to the public, as well as a vast advantage to the :never'
