British Banner, and the Wesleyan Times; The Roman Catholic Church, the Tablet, and the Weekly Register. The small towns have generally their weekly gazettes, whilst such a city as Edinburgh has eighteen, and Glasgow thirty, besides their daily papers. Politically, the London Times represents the public opinion, and its wonderful mobility seems its pervading spirit. The Morning Post, the Globe, the Observer, the Edinburgh Review, and the Examiner, are the principal organs of the Whig party. The Daily News, an independent Liberal journal, represents more particularly the Russell coterie of that party. The Tory organs are the Morning Herald. the Press, Fraser's Magazine, Blackwood's Magazine, the Quarterly Review, and the Constitutional Press. The Morning Chronicle represents the liberal Conservative party; the Morning Star, the so-called liberal school of Manchester; the Daily Telegraph and the Westminster Review, radicalism; the Morning Advertiser, the ultra Protestant party.

instance of Canine attachment --A circumstance occurred very recently at Portiere, Isle of Skye, which may be added to the many chapters recording the fidelity and attachment of dogs to their masters.-- A rumor spread through the town one morning, that on the previous night the dogs had torn open the grave of a young man who had died of fever, and was laterred some weeks previous. So painful and shocking an occurrence caused great excitement in Portiere; but in the course of the day Sheriff Fraser and others having inquired into the facts of the case. found the facts to be not only of a less revolting nature, but fraught with the deepest interest. When the young man was buried, his dog followed his funeral to the churchyard, and was with difficulty removed. It returned again and again to the spot, and, unobserved, had dug into the grave until it reached the coffin. At Portres, as in many other parts of the Highlands, the people bury their dead in a very superficial manner, mak

The social revolution in Ireland. --A writer in Fraser's Magazine has examined the census tables of Ireland with excellent results. By comparisons of data and diligent investigation, he has arrived at the pleasing conclusion that an important social revolution is going on in that country. He sums up his argument as follows: The evidences of this social revolution are visible in every corner of Ireland. It is not that the observer from England, who comes from a land of ancient civilization, of enormous wealth, and of an united people — whose pleasant landscapes have long worn the joyous aspects of wealth and content — will not find even now many signs in Ireland of bad agriculture and mournful poverty. All Castle Rackrents have not disappeared; the plow has not completely effaced the thick hamlets of paupers and cottiers which formerly overspread the country; in many districts the state of husbandry is still comparatively barbarous and imperfect; and lanes of beggars may

ten hastily immediately on our arrival here, the surrender of Cumberland Gap was alluded to. Since that time I have met with several of the garrison who escaped from that place — some of them after the surrender — from whom the following particulars are obtained: On Wednesday morning, the 7th inst., the enemy made their appearance at the Gap, and before one o'clock P. M. of the same day our forces, amounting to about 2,000 men, surrendered unconditionally. They were under the command of General Fraser, as previously stated. It is said that some 200 of Slemp's 64th Va. infantry made their escape, refusing to surrender, together with several hundred others. Among the batteries captured was Leyden's battery, said to be one of the most splendid batteries in the service. It was presented to our Government by the merchants of Liverpool. We also lost a large amount of arms, stores, equipage, &c. The affair is regarded here as one of the most disgraceful occurrences of the war, and the co

ers say he has promised his men that he will not require them to attack Confederate breastworks any more, nor will he expect them hereafter to do any but the most necessary work on the Sabbath. If this be true then he will find it necessary to attack Richmond from some other point than the Chickahominy. What route will he take? Will be move upon Atlee's station, on the Virginia Central railway, as some imagined or will be march over the crimson fields of Mechanicsville, Gaines's mill, and Fraser's farm? or will he try to reach the James river, form a junction with Butler, and then throw his whole army across the Richmond and Petersburg and the Richmond and Danville railroads, and thus cut our communications with the more Southern States? This last plan would be in accordance with the movement by which he enveloped Vicksburg, and destroyed all hope of the ear. Butler is already firmly fixed on the narrow neck of land at Bermuda Hundreds, his flanks and rear protected by the James a
