SCOTLAND.  Drymen, Jan. 22.—The Duke and Duchess of Montrose have left Buchanan House for London, and it is due to them to say, that they have left behind them the blessing of the poor. During the six months of their residence in this neighbourhood, they have been most considerate and liberal. They have had a soup-kitchen for the poor—they have distributed money, clothes' blankets, tea, sugar, soap, Ste., in the various parishes of Buchanan, Drymen Kilmaronock, and Aberfoil—and the peculiar feature of all this charity is, that it has been done by a personal anxious inquiry after the objects of their benevolence. There is much destitution in this part of the country, and the Duke and Duchess have done their part to keep away its horrors. Their charity has been unostentatious, and we trust this notice of it will not be offensive, but that it will have the effect of leading others to do likewise. The Late William Gordon, Reg. of Fqvie.—This gentleman, whose death we have already announced, was an only son, and succeeded to the patrimonial estates on the death of his father, the late General the Hon. William Gordon, son of William, Earl of Aberdeen, by Lady Anne Gordon, daughter of Alexander, second Duke of Gordon. Mr. Gordon was thus nearly connected with the noble houses both of Gordon and of Aberdeen. With the members of both he ever lived on terms of the most cordial friendship. The mortal remains of Mr. Gordon were, on the 19th inst.,interred in the family burying-ground, in the churchyard of Fyvie. The funeral was attended by the numerous tenantry on the estates, and by the principal gentry of the county; Lord Haddo, in the absence of the Earl of Aberdeen, Mr. Gordon of Hallhead, and Mr. Gordon of Cairnbulg, being chief mourners. Dying unmarried, Mr. Gordon is sueceeded by Captain Charles Gordon, eldest son of the late Lord Rockville, one of the Senators of the College of Justice, the immediate younger brother of the deceased's father. Revolting Circumstance.—Another of those disgraceful acts by which the feelings of humanity are so frequently shocked, viz, the murder of illegitimate children, was recently discovered in the neighbourhood of Pallinsburn. The water in a well, long in use, was found to have acquired a very disagreeable taste, and it was resolved, a few days ago' to have it thoroughly cleaned out, when the body of an infant was found in the water. The child had evidently been new-born when immersed, and from the advanced stage of decomposition and other circumstances, it is supposed to have been in the well for some time. A coroner's inquest was held on the body on Monday week, but from the time which must have elapsed, there is 13robably little chalice of discovering the perpetrator of the horrid deed.—Berwick Warder.  ilitirsoo is a fair specimen of a Concany °ming a high street, alike paraded by pariahs, buffaloes, and lars, two Beldam' shop', and a good house belonging to the ;at the eastern extremity is a pretty temple of Mandeo, a tank and dhurmsallah, and at the western r a huge pepul tree, whose root stretches across *r of true believers. e village from a short distance is invisible,: _ t clumps of fine trees in which it is embowered; a. it, this forest-like foliage towers around, interspersed w,. cocoa nut, the Tires palm, and the straight, slender, brightlybeteinut tree; while the ground, where - of the rich of the original soil, is covered with veo, " n,g the rains, unfortunately, the wi bad odour from which is equally
