SPEED OF STEAMERS OF DIFFERENT PROPORTIONS.—
On Thursday evening, at five o'clock, her Majesty's steamer
Medusa left Kingstown for -Liverpool, and, at Six o'clock,
the Princess, contract mail paCkets, also left Kingstown for
Liverpool : they both entered the Mersey at the same time.
The Medusa has unusual beam for her. length. She was
modelled by the Surveyor of the Navy. The Prince and
Princess were constructed by our townsman, 144. Thomas
Wilson, and their proportions have given them the advantage
in speed, particularly in rough weather, over every other
steamer that has come in their tracks.

• GI,ENGARRY.—We learn that the present• chief of the
ancient sept or clan Macdonnell, namely, Mr. 'Mcdonnell of
Glengarry, is preparing to embark for Australia, with his fa-
mily and dependents. lie is constructing timber houses, and
furnishing himself'*ith various agricultural implements, and
other conveniences, for residence in that distant region- 11"
.Macdonnell was compelled some time since to dispose ofmost
of the property, which was heavily intirtgaged and encumber-
ed by his father, the late well-known Glengarry, whose char-
acter, in its more favorable light, was drawn by Sir Walter
Scott, in his hero Fergus M'lyor. We cannot regard this
expatriation of the head of an 'old Highland family, with its
clan associations, its pipe music, and.its feudal recollections,
from the battle of Inverlocby downwards, without some re-
gret and emotion. These Celtic strains and legends, will sound
strange in the new world of the wanderers, so far removed
from their native Loch Oich; the Rock of the Raven, and the
other magnificent scenery of .the Glengarry wountains.—Li-
verness Courier,
