Feb. 18, 1874. Gathering after tie Battle of Culloden. From 'Memoirs of thwehevalier de John- stene, translated from, the Al& in ' French by ()lunges Winchester, Esq Aberdeen.. The MS. was originally deposited in. Scots College at ralis. The Prince, when be saw the rout com- mence, saved himself along with some cav- alry of the piquet of Fitz -James, Lord Elcho found him some hours after the bat-. tie in a hut near the River Nairn, suiround-t ed with .TviAmen, not a single Seetchman being with him. He was in to a1 prostra- tion, lost to all hope of being able to, re- trieve his affairs, having bis mind com- pletely imbued with the evil counsels of Sheridan and other Irishmen,‘ who. govern- ed, him at their 'will. and giving np every project but that of saving himself in France zts soon as he possibly could. Lord Elcho 1-eprt;sented to him that this defeat- was nothing in reality, and his lorciship did all in his power to'persuade him - to dream of nothing but to ndly his army, put himself attheir head, and try once more his fortune. This disaster, he said, could be -very easily repaired ; but the Prince was insensible to all his lordship ceuld say, and would not hear him, I arrived on the 16th (of April 164(3) at Ruthven, which by a mere chance, hap- pened to be the rendezvous for rallying ant twiny -without its having been pointed out. • I found. there the Duke ot Athole, Lord TitE Not only has the work to which Earl Rosse slt voted it—the delineation of those strange stellar t;loudlets that deck the sky—been e ntinifed, but its powers have been deiroted to aid the progress of new and subtle modes of research. The tasic was nci simple one. The gigantic tube, with its,. ponderous six- foot •mirror had been poised so 'skilfully that a,ehild could guide its Movements. But for the new A ork which it was to Ite c4Iled on to perform. much More was want- ed. A new power had to be given to the telescope—a power of self -motion, so etact- ly, regulated that the gigantic eye of the telescope might remain steadily fixed on ill• ny given star or planet, notwithstanding tlie swift rotation of the 'earth, by which, in the ordinary eondition of the tube, the eel estial objects were carried in a few ino- nepts acrossits field -of view. This power *lki now been given to. the reflector, and thereby the value of the instrument , as an aid to scientific research has undoubtedly ..ecu more th:in redoubled. Already it las solved a question which had been ouud to be far beyond the powers of in- erior instruments ; and what it has dbne is elieyed to be the merest foretaste of what t is likely to du in coming years. te••.. A Cheerful Custom in China. A Brave Convict and a Iiighteous Judge, At the late Liverpool Assizes Thomas Greg,ory, alias Ed -ward Abel, 38,, al tailor pleaded guilty to hayieg, at Liverpool, ,on the Oth of August, unlawfully been at large before the expiration of a sentence of 14 years transportation, passed on him for felony, in 1856. The prisoner 'segged his lordship to read some papers which he had handed in. Mr. Baron Martin said that under the circumstances, he was dis- posed te give the priaoner the least punish- ment thlt he probably could, and he had beteSsOarching into the law with that ob- ject. He (the prisoner) was in England withinthe period of feurteen years for which he had been transported, which by an act of Parliament was an offence pun- / ishable by death, then it was fixed at transportation for life ; and now the pun- ishment was left to the discretion of the judge. His lordship proceeded : I will ascertain correctly the time when the pun- ishment would expire. I think it is the .17th of April next, and the sentence of the Court is that, you will be imprisoned until the 18th day of April—that is, for one ,day longer than the original term. I do this because I do not doubt your statement. The Counsel for the Crown very properly stated to -day, that your statement was a true statement, and that when you were in Australia your punish ment had been re- mitted to. this extent upon condition that you were not to be a freeman elsewhere. You went on board an American whaling ship, and in. it went to some port in the -United States, and thence you were taken to New York. There you were "shanghead." that is, made drunk, and taken out on ward a ship which you afterwards found sailing to England. That would not, L think, be coming here wider the act. Since you came here yob seem to have ben an industrious man, and to have endeavored to earn your bread honestly. You. are a brave man, having on four occasions saved human. life from drowning, for which VOL1 have got medals and rewards. Therefore, _ if you continue that course of conduct after the 18th of April next, you may live here safe- ly the remainder of your life.
