Land of the mountain and the Hood,
Land of my sires ! what mortal hand
Can e'er untie the filial band
That knits me to tby rugged strand!"—WALTER Scan.

" Tt is the chief glory of Scotsmen that, next to GOD and their
parents, they love their country and their countrymen. It is their
chief merit, that they study from their youth till their grey hairs,
all that honours their ancestry and kindred; hence every Scots-
man is a hero for the glory of Scotland, wise for the glory of
Scotland, and virtuous for the glory of Scotland. And it is a dis-
tinguishing endowment of Scotsmen, that as they are familiar with
their national history, so the virtues and noble deeds of past ages
are ever present to their minds, and every Scot, by the influ-
ence or example, wives to become an ornament to his race."—

Mr. S. RICE renewed the subject of a dropped notice of his,
relative to the minutes of evidence taken before the Committee of
last Session upon the disturbances in Ireland. Ile understood
there was no objection to his making a formal motion for the-pro-
duction of these minutes. He therefore moved that the said
minutes be ordered to be laid before the House, and he would
merely observe that in his opinion they would lead to the most im-
portant results iw favour of Ireland.
Mr. PLUNKETT expressed his assent to the motion. He an-
ticipated the greatest advantages to Ireland from the production of
these minute.. There were some parts of them not material for
the purposes which the Honourable Member had in view, and
these he might as well strike his pen through.
The motion was agreed to; and Mr. &memo Rica shortly after-
w.irds brought up the Papers, and laid them on the table.
Sir II EN RY PARNELL rose to notice sonic mistatements
which had appeared in a Newspaper of that morning. purporting
to be a Report of his speech of the preceding night. He did not,
however, allude to the subject for the purpose of complaint but
because, did he not set the matter right, an error would go forth
affecting a whole county. it was grated in the Report, that he had
said Lord Kinnaird approved of the Catholic Association. The
name he had mentioned was that of Kt!nmare. He was also re-
ported to have said that Judge Moore, in his charge to the Grand
Jury, represented the County of Kildare as in a disturbed state.—
Now the county mentioned was Fermanagh. It had also been as-
serted that he declared the opinion of England was unanimous in
favour of Catholic Emancipation. What he really said was, that
if the people of England were better acquainted with the real state
of circumstances, with respect to the Catholics of Ireland, they
would he unanimous upon that point.

stated, the House was already acquainted witlu—The Models,
