Effect of the Baccarat Rehabilitation tt
Sir William.

Notwithstanding the evidero, against
Sir William Gordon Canning aud the re-
suit of the trial against him, it seems that
a large portion of the people of England,
and especiallyaof Scotland, do not believe
him guilty of the charge of cheating at the
game of Bacsarat, and it is probable that
the result of the trial, though seemingly q
small cause. will be to shake thu throne of
England. The people are greatly displeas-
ed with the conduct Of Price Albert, the
heir apparent to the throne, whilst Sir Wm.
Gordon Cumming and his American bride
are receiving ovations of the most fattering
character in Scotland. the home Of his al
cestors, where his estates are, and where
the people know him and admire him, aud
believe most implicitly in his innocence.
History is full of examples of the fact that
great effects result from what seem to be
small causes, and this trial promises to add
to the number. It will weaken the ties
that bind the people of Great Britain to the
throne, and sap the foundations of their
monarchical government, and hasten the
day when it shall become Republic. The
tendency has been in that direction for
some time, aud the result Of this trial will
be to add impetus to it.
A despatch to the N. Y. Herald dated
Forres, Scotland, June 18Th, gives an &C
count of the reception of Sir William and
his bride at all tho stations. At Fcrres the
whole population seems to have turned out
to welcome them.
The Herald despatch says
Everybody was there and everybody was
cheering. In the forefront of the battle
stood Provost Watson, striking figure, in
his gorgeous robes of Office. Sir William
and party were at once engulfed. The
Provost faced him and delivered a warm
address of welcome. At the flash there
was more cheering. Sir William stood
erect as if on parade, lifted his hat, bowed
slightly and in voice as steady as rock
gave brief and hearty expression OF
| thanks.

DRAWN BY SCOTS TO ALTYRE.

Sir Williams reply evoked Tremendous
enthusiasm, and everybody on the outside
edging Of the crowd began at once to nan.
ifest desire to get into the inner circle.
Ga account Of the crush Sir William was
able to introduce Lady Cumming to only a
few of the principal people. Finally, amid
upr0arious cheers, the party were permit
ted to get into their carriage which was in
waiting. The horses were Embarrassed
and dozen stout Scots took hold of the
pole aud sped toward Altyre at top speed,
everybody cheering like mad. At the limit
of the town horses were substituted for the
descendants of Wallace, bnt were not al
lowed to start before lovely bouquet was
presented to Lady Cumming by the little
daughter of Mr.. Cruickshank, the retired
manager of the Bank of Bengal.
When the excitement had subsidized some
what talked with several leading men of
the town, twenty at least. they were all Of
one mind. O-e said:-"If Sir William had
been tried by Highland jury he would
not only have been acquitted, but have goi
ample damages" Provost Watson said he
did not bslieve Sir William Gordon Cum

have voted for the resolution to present him
with an address OF welcome.

Mills, Hardscrabble, and thence across Allie

The bnilding of q road over this route would

built, will make Staunton one of the leading
cities of Virginia. and the road will be pay
