Walter Glover, known as the carrier between
Dumfres and Edinburgh in the time Of Burns, died
recently at Ferpeyside, in his native parish of
Liberton being in his 10Th year. When Burns was
exciseman at Dumfre, rum was extensively imported
there. and Glover was frequently employed to con-
vey Edinburgh. The permits on these occasions
required to be signed by the poet, and, contingent on
the arrival Of the vessels, these documenswere often
required at a very late or a very early hour. Glover
was wont to state, as proof of Burnss regularity
and business habits, that sometimes when he used to
apologize for disturbing him at these untmely hours,
the poet said, Walter, it is but my duty, and never
hesitate at any hour to call on me to do it, Till
within the last twelvemonth, this old man was in the
habit Of walking frequently to Edinburgh-a dis
lance OF between three and four miles, and bis chief
enjoyment was sitting by the fireside playing his
fiddle. Within the last two years be wrote out the
poem of "Tam O'Shanter," in bold steady, legble
hand, amazingly like the poets handwriting-ahd
this WAS done without the aid Of speCtaces. For the
las; few months Time has been laying bis memorable
hand upon him, but very gently, and he retained

to the very last. 1t Is only month ago that he was
heard to relate with great JUNCTION, some OF bis hui
morous stories and to make some shrewd observations
on recent and passing events.

Mr.. Kenricks relatives in England, who are wealthy
paid no heed, under the circumstances to bis appll
cations for remtances, and that the two thereupor
resolved on suicide. From what subsequently trans
PRED, it seems they must have gone directly to tho
tublic gardens Of the Villa Reale, on the sea-shore
where, the cafe being open, they took glass of run
or rosoo. They then climbed over the low wall o.
the villa, where a semi-crcular space overlooking the
sea il furnished with stone seats, and descended Oh
the beach, where Miss Gray tied her dress round her
ankles and filed it from the waist with sand, Mr..
Kenrick efIecting the came purpose by filling the
bosom Of his shirt his waistcoat and coat sleeves
with SAID aud stones, Miss Gray supplying the neces-
sary strings and tapes from her own dress. They
then tied themselves together round the waist with
their pocket-handkerchefs and deliberately lay down
10 die in the sea- which at that point is not more than
two or three feet deep. Tuey had the resolution TO
endure suiioaion and their copses were seen IN the
transparent wafer next morning ut day break by "a
fisherman. Mr Kenrcks life insured for t3, 900,
which bis heirs lose from the fact OF his having COM
mitted suicide.
