NOTICES OF CHIEFS AND CLANS.

The " invasion of the Celts" (as some term it), upon
the present happy occasion, having made no small
noise among us, we have been at some pains to ana-
lyze the materials of the plaided and plumed array
which occupy our streets and highest places ; and we
submit the following detailed account of the various
members of this Tartan confederacy, with confidence
that it is correct:
1. There are the Breadalbane men, about fifty, armed with
swords, under the Earl of Breadalbane; their march The Camp-
bells are ceasing. Their dress is dark green ; badge, a yellow
plume in the bonnet, and a crest on the right arm.

2. The Celtic Society, under the Duke of Argyll; with Ge-
neral Graham Stirling, Colonel David Stewart, Macleod of
Macleod, Macdougal of Lorn, &c. as Captain*. A body of about
eighty or a hundred Highlanders and Amateurs, associated for
encouraging and reviving the national dress and customs of the
mountains, and numbering many men of rank and consequence.
In general, they are fully and even superbly dressed and arrayed
in the belted plaid, each in his own clan tartan, which distinction
gives a rich and half barbaric effect-to their appearance. Their
grenadiers carry partizans and targets, and are headed by Cap-
tain Mackenzie, of Guinard, whose stately, and at the same time
handsome and active figure. realises the ideal of a complete
Highland soldier. Here and there a white knee betrays the
Southron or Lowlander—in most the limb is as dark as that of
/Ahmed/au (Illack Knee) himself.
3. Strathfilian Society; associated like the former, for the
purpose of pursuing Highland sports and games, also as a Beneht
Society. They wear various tartans, as the Celtic Society, and
are in general well busked and armed. Leaders—Stewart of
Ardvoirlicb, and Grahame of Airtb,
4. Clan Gregor, under their Chief, Sir Evan Mac-Gregor,
whom we rejoice to see completely recovered of the wounds he
had sustained in India. The tartan of his clansmen is red, with
a branch of fir in the bonnet. They are (Gentlemen and kernes)
about thirty in number; and we saw with particular interest this
clan, whose sufferings and proscriptions are so well known, come
forth so gallantly to attend the Crown of Scotland, " Which still
they love, because their fathers war."

5. Glengarry has a small, but select following : twelve Gen-
tlemen of his house, amongst whom we noticed the gallant Colo-
nel Macdonell, brother of the Chief, and famous for his achieve-
ments at the defence of Hougomont, where, assisted only by a
serjeant of the Guards, he slew or drove back six French gre-
nadiers, who had forced their way into the Court-yard. Also
we saw liarrisdale, Scotbouse, Major Macdonell, and other
cadets of this ancient line. Each had a gillie in attendance—
tall, raw-boned, swarthy fellows, who, besides the sword and
target, tarried guns of portentous length. We believe they are
chiefly the foresters of the Chieftain ; and, indeed, they look as
if they had done notbifig all their lives but lived by bunting, and
slept in the woods.
G. The Marchioness of Stafford has sent up fifty men from
Duntobin. They-came to attend on her Ladyship's second son,
Lord Francis Leeson Gower,who carries the Sceptre, by Royal
permission, as representing his mother. They wear the plaid,

scarfdashlon, and the trews ; which, though perhaps as ancient
a garb, has not quite such a military effect as the belted plaid.—
The Sutherland men have swords, without any other weapon.
It has been disputed whether this great Lady's fullowin has been
diminished by the late improvements on her Highland estate.
The following accurate statement will enable the reader to judge.
Upon the first intimation that 50 men were warned, 200 volun-
teered within six hours ; and, in the course of the next day, 1,000
came down to the Castle, all eager for the expedition.
7. Lady Gwydyr has produced a very gallant band of Drum-
moods, about thirty we think; for equipments, in the hurry,
could be found for no more, though many were assembled.—
They wear sword and targe, have a holly-bough in their cap, the
ancient badge of their tribe; and are as smart mountaineers at
the eye would wish to look on.

The Dukes of Artrot. and GORDON, MAC Leon,
Lord Fire, Mrs. FARQUHARSON of Invercauld, and
other High Chiefs, offered, we understand, to contri;
bute to this martial attendance; and it would have
been, no doubt, an easy thing to have rendered it
twenty-fold more numerous. This was, however, de-
clined, for various reasons ; and, in particular, because
the two Qr three hundred men already assembled
formed a sufficient specimen of the readiness of High-
landers, their martial appearance, and their attach-
ment to their Chiefs.

To legalize the meeting of so many of the Clans,
they were all sworn in to act as guards to the Lord
High 'Constable and Knight Marshal, in di,charge of,
their # igh orates; and nothing could be more orderly
than the conduct of these military strangers.
Sir WA urea SCOTT, by universal consent, acted as
Adjutant-General to thee gal!ant tvountAtoocas.

i FUNERAL'OP iIR SAMUEL AUGIIMUTV,
LATE COMMANDER OF THE FORCES u. IRELAND.

. •
DUBLIN, AUGUST et
Yesterday the remains of this math-lamented and distinguiehnd
General were renthred with all due honours from the Royal
Hospital to the Cathedral Church, for interment.
Abort eleven o'clock the solemn pageant, attended by the
Great Olken of &ate, and A the Authorities, Civil and Miff-
tuy, together with a number of carriages of ,the Nobility and
Gentry., moved slowly along the Military-road, the Quays, and
Castle-street, the military lining the whole way; minute gnus
were iced during the whole of the procession, and the several
bands played the Dyad Marc* ix awl. vi
At one o'4ock the funeral arrived at the Church ; it entered
amidst a alb a* the military, and the body was borne by a
detachment of grenadiers.

The solemn tolling of the 'bells, the deep and awful silence,
and the periodic sounds of the artillery ha terrific claps, all com-
bined to make the ceremony truly imposing.
As soon as the body, enclosed In a lead, oak, and a rich ma-
hogany coin, ornamented with a covering of rich crimson vel-
vet, and adorned with mountings, was placed on a platform hi
the middle of the Church, the Organ commenced a solemn
dirge. The Burial Service was then read by the Bishop of Ku.-
naar.. At the conclusion of this impressive ceremony the body
was removed to the Royal Vault, with the same ceremonies as
on its entrance.

The Procession was attended by a great concourse of specta-
tors. When it reached Essex Bridge, the rain fell in ton-cats,
and continued until after the body was laid in the vault.

The number of persons in the Church were very few, not
haying tickets. The mournful spectacle appeared to have created
a melancholy ipterest in all who wknessed it.

insarox throughout the Peninsular war, and distinguished him-
self much in the command of the cavalry during those memorable

Considering the intricate and confused state of Ec-
clesiastical Law, and die endless variety of disputes which are
daily arising between Incumbents and Parishioners, no recent
publication can be bailed with greater Approbation than The Lew
reiatirsg to the Clergy, by the Rev. Dilr.WituAms. For bringing
forward the New Edition at the present critical moment, when
many subjects of Ecclesiastical Law arc questions of doubt and
contention, great praise is due to the author of this useful work.
The quantity of information condensed into this volume is really
surprising, and exhibits an excellent comment on the modern art
of book-,primting. By those who are not In possession of the work
it will scarcely be credited that it contains nearly double the in-
formation that is to be found in Bultes four volumes on the same
subject. To the Clergy sod the Public it cannot but prove a wel-
come present; and we do not think that it requires a prophetic
spirit to predict that, eventually, it will supersede all the bap-
plieable, imperfect, voluminous, and expensive works whicp are
at prescni y, cic.ulaiivu on Ecclesiastical L4w.,
