the tide been at the spring, the damage must have been very great,
but fortunately little, comparatively speaking, has yet occurred.

essential service. The brig Mary. the property of Mr. Broderick.

CITADEL ow INvanwass, &c.—lt is not, we believe.l
so generally known as it I ught to be, as it tends to
illustrate the military character of Crvmwell, that this
once important fort r.,ss, the ruins of which are still to be
seen, was built by the Usurper. It was founded in 1652
and was completed in five >ears thereafter. Our readers
will for m some idea of the extent and importance of the
edifice when we state that the expense of its erection was
80,4 111. stem ling, an immense sum in those times. lmme•
'irately oy the restoration, Charles the Second, in order
to petit y the wishes ot the Highland Chiefs, dismantled
ihis citadel, in consequence of which it soon atter fell into
a state of dilapidation. It is worthy of observation, as
tending to show the progress of society and commerce,
that at the time referred to, the now fl 'wishing town t f
Inverness contained only one merchant of importance.
A journey to Edinburgh, though now accomplished in a
day, then required a whole week ; and suai were the
dangers attending it, that no individual of property ever
set out to tire Scuitith metropolis svitlio.it having made
his will. The last wolf known to have been teen in
Scotland was killed in the year 1690, near to the house
ot Kinmylies, about a mile and a half [tom Inverneo.—
