of Mr Julian Haraey . at Tiverton , at the lateelection . The masterly manner inwhit-h Mr Harney laid bare ihepastdiplomaxyofthe "Whig secretary for Foreign Affairs , is a f roof how closelyTIr Earner , in hispolitical observations , has tracked the steps of " his opponent in alibis foreign acts of intrigue , deception , aud cruelty Thanks to Mr Harney for pouring such a flood of truth " and light upon the public mind . The constituency of Tiverton would hive done honour to themselves by returning snch a man as tlieir representative to Parlia ment ^ , ana would at the same time have conferred a benefit on society at large . But let Mr Harney ba assured tUat among the minds that think , investigate and enquire , he has en-ned aname an 4 fame far mora
honoured ana honourable than that which can or will be awarded to Ids opponent . It is an evident sign of moral and mental progression , to witness the readiness with which the men of Tiverton responded to the ad . nee of their late candidate , Mr Julian llarney , in establishing forthwith a \ Yorking Man ' s Library . It is a matter of great pleasure to see the principle of progression qnitkeninginto life theintellectual nature of man . I have a volume or two that I feel disposed to add to the library at Tiverton , if our friends there will accept thorn . 3 Ir Haraey will oblige by saying what will be the best and cheapest mode of conveyance . Wishing prosperity to the institution , and union amongst tbe men of Tiverton .

Let yoar orders reach ut not later tban Thursday morning . 3 , W , Smith , M « n he =: er . —Year temperate remarks on the article in last week's Star , relative to the effect
of FieeTiaie an the state of the country , have net altered tlie rien-s we hold on that question ; nor do ire think that it ii the duty of a journalist , for the mere sake of standing well with a party , to wfrain from commenting upon events which illustrate important principles . It may have been premature to exptct that , concurrently with a gO 3 d barvtst , good trade should make its appearance , but at all events , so one could liavc expected , reasoning upan ihe data furnished by th * League orators , that It would bave 1 ) 660 concurrent with a proposal for tbe absolute suspension of labour fcr a month , to allow the markets to recover . We do not deny the truth there may be in Free Trade doctrines , but contend that these alone are not sufficient to prciuco that-improvement in the general condition of the people , which all parties profess theragehes desirous of seeing realued . We are quite willing to refer tbe dechion to the great arbiter , Time , with the pervasion that it will von . firm the correctness of the remarks which have elicited the remarks of our correspondent .
LESAL . KOTICE . —Anxious that clients should not be disappointed , and the number of cases rendering it impossible for me to attend te all , I -have arranged with a professional friend , equtlly competent with myself , to render me bis assistance . I , therefore , request that , in future , all letters containing law cases may be addressed to me at Xo . 4 S , Queen ' s Road , Bayswater . londoi ; but letters ickich reUOetoang other thcmlcgdl ittriaeu . to be addressed tame , as heretofore , at the iStor office , since So iS , Queen ' s-rostd , is Kor my place of residence . I also beg to decline cdl personal inttnieics , not having time for the same , neither can they be of any advantage to clients .
The Immense number of unanswered law cases now before me , renders it absolutely necessary to prevent , if possible , the sending of any more fur tiie present . In order the better to prevent it , I bez to state that till the cases now btwre me are finished ( of which due notice will be given ) , all law cases will be returned , unless accompanied by a fee of at least 5 s . Ebnest Jokes . The Heir-at-Law . ' -Havingaddressed your letter to 48 , Qnesn's-road , Bayswater , yon bad evidently read the notice in lust week ' s Star , in which I stated , that till I had got through the vast number of unanswered law cases then before me ( of which due notice would be given ) , no cases tronld be attended to unless accompanied by a f e . Notwithstanding this notice , yon send me a case without a fea . If you send me a 1 ' ost-ofSca order for lvs ., vour case , shall be forthwith answered .
Even had no such notice as that cliuiku to appeared in last week ' s Star , yours is a case with which a fee ought to be giren ; fui-1 hare al ! along declare d that it was my intention to give gratuitous advice to poor men ouly , and not to men of property , and that jou arc a man of property is appareut enough from your case . I have expressed inv readiness to be satMed with very moderate fees , eren from men of property ; and it would be unreasonable In such persons to expeet that I should render them grcftiitjtw services . B . S . A . —If i ! r iW . vroan has given you notice of Pis mortgage , and desired von to pay no more reutta your landlord , but to him , ilr Newman ; you must pay to Mr Kewman ; and if you cannot agree with him to continue tenant , you must quit according to the notice you have received . I suppose yo u aresatisfied that Mr Sew man really is m Jtgigee .
"W . Beiibt , Grtenaire's HilL— "Withoat knowing all the .-. circumstances of the case , itis impossible for me to sav ^ whether you can recover property which you say has been'in wfoaghar . ds fsrmore . than forty years . * That ( drcnm : tance however , renders it highly improbable ¦ that vou sbou ' . d be able to recover it . If you claim it as heir ( or as customary heir , if it is a cunoinary or copyhold properly ) , yon should ssnd me a pedigree , Ehowiag-your bcirshfp to the person from whom you claim . And tell me who tlie person was who wrongfully took possessionf . irty years age ; andif youknow or can learn on what ground he setup a claim to it , let me also know tfcat Johs Deis , Leeds . —Your former letter and the papers which you say accompanied it , I have uee » unabic to
attend to ; but hope 1 shall be able very soon to give them my attention . MrJ . Whithew , LiverpooL—Il < opesoon to be able to attend to your p-tpzrs . The notice in this and last Trcek ' 6 Star will account for the delay which has taken place . O . P . —Where a surety pays the debt of the principal the principal may be compelled to repay . Wood istli » rjfore liable to the payment t » Chew's father-in-law , of whatever sums he ( Chew ' s fathtr-in-lawl has paid or may pay to the club on account of Wood ; and if Chew's fathcr 4 n-law shouldsue Wood , and Wood should make default in payins according to the judgment of the Court his ( Woai ' s ) goods wouldbeliable to be takenin execution . Shouli AVood be proceeded against , he must state hi « cirenmstances to the Court and get time to pay
by easy instalments . Edwaxd Sadkdees , Dean-streel . —I am not acquainted with the nature of she rate or tax called the consobdated rate f nor do I know under what Act of l ' arlia ment itis leried . I supiioM under some Parochial Act Without seeing tbe Act , it is qtiite impossible for me to Bay whether vmsre liable or not- 3 I « t likely some intelligent neighbour of yours can givcyon the information you wish for . I mean some odc who pays th « JJ 5 ., Bristol .-It does rot appear , from the extracts from your grandfather ' s will , whether the annuity of £ 42 is charged nponthe real estate , or personal , or both . It only upon real estate , your father , probably , is not me person invested with the discretionary power , given uy youi grandfather ' s will , as to the application of tlie annuity . If I saw a copy cf the will , and codicil , I should
be better ableto sav what were your rights under it . Jobs . - Hobc&os , Staimingley —J . W . S .

Thomas Taylor Asuton-street ; Manchester . —If I mistake not , I sometinse ag . > gave an opinion on your case . You say that tha property was entailed and that you aretheheir-in-taU ; but what proof have you that it was entailed , and isave you satisfied yourself that the « : tail has not been barred . Tbosus Shctherbsoh , Armley . — Joseph Ilopkinson , JohnHopkittFon . and their sister are equally eutitlea to tueiiroptrtv at Annley . I presume tl-. ey are the ouly children of their late mother who were living at the time
of her death . If they cannot aureeabout Uie property they had best make a partition or drttSKm of it ; and it an coual division should be attended with disBculty , he or she who had the most valuable part should give a Eum of monev to tiie cithers by way of'Equality of rar-. tition . If they acrceto divide theproperty , iMillpreparethem athort deed at a small expense . As the Hopkiusons ' are not ' poor people , their case is not nihaoneas the columns of UieSTjB are in a strictness , open to ; a fee of 10 s . ought to hnve been sent with it H . OTUT Sheffi >! d . —I aji of opinion , that the rate or asttisment , as msntiored in your letter , is illegal ; ana ftat every perhon , ( otherwise eligiWa to be on the To « m Council , ) who is possessed of property of the anMalvalseofXSO must be rated at that sum , and

Ma A . » . South , Brighton . —I have received your large parcel of papers , but cannot at present attend to them , for the reason stated in this and the three or four last numbers of the Star . wuriass Jaheb Kehbick , —The only counties in England in which deeds are registered are Middlesex and Yorkshire If therefore , the property conveyed by your uncle to his housekeeper lies in any other connty you have no other -way of coming at a knowledge of the conveyance tban by bringing a * ejectment against the housekeeper for the recovery of the property ,: which , as vour uncle's hiw-at-law , you may do . By taking that step you will compel her to produce the deed on the trial your threatening an ejectment may possibly induce her to let you inspect the conveyance . ' ¦ | Me Thos Liodell . —If jour friend will send me a of
copy the will by which the legacy was left to him ( or a copy of that part of it which relates to the legacy ) and give me all other particulars respecting it . I will render him mv testassistance . Theaoticein this and the two or three last numbers of the Star will account for the delay which has taken place in answering your letter . J . W . L ., Snowsnelds . —If the only defect in the Security is the want of a properstamp , that defect may be cured by getting the proper stamp put upon the deed ; and the judgeof the Small Debts' Court would , I should think , postpone his decision in ord-r to afford time to get th deed duly stamped . A penalty must be paid atthe Stamp office , in addition to the duty ; butl amofoninion that the solicitor , through whose iguorance or carelessness an improper stamp was used , may be compelled to pay all expenses incurred by reason of such iguorance or carelessness

G . A . Newell , Portsmouth . —I fear your first letter rejecting thoproperty left by John Mobbs ' swill has got lost or mislaid .

Hartley Stabkex . —Your letters have shared the fate of hundreds of others ; butl shall be able , I hope , before long to attend to your case . . Saml .

W . Betheil , 97 , Farriiigdon-street , City . —To your silly and impertinent note I give this reply : —No honest man , who is himself able to pay , ought to expect another to pay for him the fees attendant on the search for Wills ; and , though I offered gratuitous advice , yet , as you are a reader of the Star , you must have known that I do so only to the ' poor * , to which number you do not appear to belong . Jas . Joekeon . Manchester . —There is no public office where information respecting title deeds is to be ob . tajned , except as to property in Yorkshire and Middlesex . No information o m I obtain for you as to deeds relating to the property in Nottingham , formerly belonging to Charles Clay and Samuel Clay . If , indeed , the property was copyhold or customaiy , the court rolls of the manor in which the property Jays might furnish the desired information . You do not say what is in
your object wishing to seethe deeds relating to the property of the Clays ; nor do I know what you mean by saying , « Mr Smith wished to get the job . ' MePotts , Stockport—All such wages are illegal , and you had best return the money to the parties who put it into your hands as stakeholder . Chas . Ashwokth . —After an adverse possession of more than ( Hi years the probability is , thatthejssue in tail are barred ; butif I saw the pedigree you speak of I might be able to speak more decidedl y ; provided it ( the pedi . gree ) gives the dates of births , marriages , and deaths . W . B ., Leeds . —Ask the exciseman to show or refer you to the Act of Parliament which requires you to give twenty-one days * notice , where you had ceased to sell exaseable articles for more than six months before fan expiration of your last year ' s licence : I suspecthe can . not show or refer you to any such act
T . Beskett . —The £ lo i should be laid out in ihe funds , or o » other good security and the interest paid to your mother for her life , and upon her death the principal divided amongst her children . 6 io . DrrcHFiELD , Stockport—Your letter affords not the slightest evidence of Elizabeth Browne being entitled to the property ; and if she ever was entitled , the probability is , she has lost her right ; having neglected to assert it for fortyyears or better . With respect to gettinga copy of herfathert ( John Brown ) will , you say theis notcertain that he made one , butif she wishes i ^ and will send me a Post-office Order for five shillings ( or five shillings worth of postage stamps ) I will search at Doctors Commons , and if 1 find a will I will look it over and let you . know whether it gives anything to her or not . I suppose she is certain that her father died at Stepney in or about the year 180 G . The fee ought to be ten shillings ; but I infer , from what yoa say that her circumstances are not veiy flourishing .

•• rnion / # rtt < Jfl « jW We feel proud in being able to s . iy , that this Asac ciation is gradually and Bteadily progressing . The opposition of capitalists , and the counter power of ill-designing men , put into operation to obstruct our moveinent , tend to increase the interests of the working classes , and to awaken within them a growing desire to ameliorate their condition by a national organisation and consentration of their hitherto divided power .
Instead , therefore ,, of opposition impeding our progress , and crushing the hopes of our confiding friends , it is binding them together more firmly , and infusing a spirit of active co-operation unequal led in the history of this country ; and , atthe same time , it is creating us friends and advocates where we least expected thorn . An extract from the' Mac clesfield , Stockport , and Congleton Chronble , ' of August 28 th , will show some little of our progress , inasmuch as the editor , in his leading article , defends our association against the attacks of one of his contemporaries : — ' There is a sad lack of heart about « omo people , ' says he . ' Why should our con temporary call the straightforward protest of five hundred Englishmen a rigmarole ? ' As if purposely to show him on what ground he standshe has this
, week to report the complete and final annexation of the weavers of Maccle 3 field to the great British League of Operatives . We , who have the knowledge of aud a faith in the progeessive principle , do most unquestionably believe that it will always be felt by civilized man , that the one performance of a 'French Revolution on the theatre of earth is quite enough . But we are not so sure that equal severity in . less savage forms , will liotoccur befere tlu injured feel compensated , and the wrong doers convinced , among ourselves . Jet , if any such faith exists within ua , it is because we see man evcrv dav
learning to love his brother , not scorn him ; because we see the ureat listeniag patiently to the lowly , and not calling his simple earnest protest , a rigmaro l e . ' And in referring to a public meeting held in Macclesfield , and addressed by Messrs Parker & Humphries ,-he says— ' To recur to Monday ' s . meeting : —Is thero , or is there not , an immense organisation goin * forward ? Will the calling of its utterances , bo they ever so humbly uttered , a rigmarole , reduce its power or appease its spirit f Must there not be something done ? What can you do ? This—this onlyremove the ground from under its feet , and it sinks for ever . '
We have heard it said— 'But if the men combiho throughout the empire , cannot the masters nho ? Of course they can . But what will that combination amount to , it ever the nation should loose its self-government ? One against a hundred . ' Thns , is the press beginning to defend our principles and advocate our claims , and the justness of ouv , cause , when attacked by tho enemy of the industrious classes ; aud the great British League of Operatives , ast he editor designates the National -Association , is rapidly extending its principles , augmenting its numbers , and sweHisg its immense moral power . And ' we feel convinced , th . it when tho power of the people honco fairly organised iu one great national consolidated union , the rights of labour will be ooncedetL
and tlio toiling millions enjoy the fruits of their industry ; and , it is only by such a union that the working man will be able to command a fair and equitable remuneration for his labour . For satisfied are we that the m « ter class , who accumulate their fortunes out of the hard-earned pence of the worldng classes aud rise in opulence and wealth , wrenched to a considerable extent from the repeated reductions on the price of the honest work man , —we feel satisfied that this class of raon will withhold the rights of industry , and retain a despotic power over the toiling multitude as long as they can . If the oppressed must be sot irco , they must free themselves . They , the workin ? classo 3 , must take the sword of liberty , and proclaim labour ' s emancipation , or oppression will sink them still lower and lower in the pit of wretchedness and destitution . This the working classes can do .
They can effect their own redemption when they like , without the aid ' of physical force j andvaise to a proper standard tho price of labour without violence or tumult , simply by organising themselvesin- « no , great union , comprehending evory class of operatives , for their mutual protection , ami for tho preservation of wages . A national association we conceive to be the only safe and effectual method of resisting tho aggressions of capital , and of securing to the labourer a just portion of the wealth he pro luces . The present Association has done more to accomplish this , than any of its predecessors ; and what ithas done , will sink into utter insignificance , compared with what it will do , when its entiro machinery shall be brought fully into operation .
We know that some people are disposed to grumble because the National Asssciation has not done more for working men than what it has done , They seem te expect the Association to perform all that tho rules point out , without for a moment stopping to consider that itis only an infant yet ; and that to require it to fisht ; with the strength and skill of a full-grown man , is not only impossible , but absolutely unreasonable . Give it tinio , and it will unfold a power , as never yet was wieled for Labour ' s redemption " . A power that will be irresistible in its operation , and astonish surrounding nations with the ox .
tentand magnitude of its peaceful and bloodless victories , and triumphs over the cupidity and selfishness of the oppressors and evil doera . But we say , do hot expect impossibilities of a childr-rather nurso it , and with the greatest care and attention , aid it in acquiring strength , and to deyclope its growing power ; and eventually the happy issue of our f Groat British League of Operatives' will make happy homes for the distressed and destitute , and procure for labour a fair and good living . We sny , then , give the Association time to grow —< lo not exact tod much from so amiable and so promising an infant , and depend upon it , we shall reap , if we faint not .

Mr Green attended the hearth-rug makers of London , who adopted a resolution to join the Association . , EXTENSION OF THK ASSOCIATION TO IHE 1 SLK OF MAS . Douglas , Aug . 24 . —Mr Peel reported , having attended a moetiug convened by placard of the trades of Douglas , in tlie largo room of the Wellingtonhall , which ffoa attended by nearly fivo hundred o the tradesmen and \ vorking ; classes of Douglas , Mr xM'Gowan , shoemaker , moved that Mr William Daniels take the chair .
Mr Daniels addressed the meeting , congratulating them atthe prospect of a movement of so important n . character as that alluded to in the placard being introduced into the Island . He showed by facts , within his own experience , how beneficial union , when based on sound , equitable principles , had proved to thoao who had adopted them . He particularly alluded to the great improvement which had been effected in tho condition and prospects of that numerous and important body he had the honour of being conuectcd with . He said he should have great satisfaction in giving all the assistance in his power to promote its introduction into tho Isle of Man . Ho would riot occupy their time at any groat length , as Mr Peel , member of the Central Committee of the
National Association , was prepared to give them a full explanation of its objects nod principles . After a few more appropriate observations he concluded , amidstmuoh applause , by introducing Mr Peel . Mr Peel , on raising , was greeted with strong marks of satisfaction . He assured them how much pleasure he felt in having an opportunity , of introducing what had not been unaptly termed 4 The Monster Movement , ' into their beautiful and rapidly improving Lland . Ho rcfeired to the improvement which was already visible , and which might be eonsidercd only the commencement of that gradual , yet certain extension in tho commercial and trading operations of the Island , which might be clearly traced as tho first IVuits of those fiscal measure ' s
which had recently boen pa ? sed through the valuable exertions of their friend , Dr Bo wring , and which will , no doubt , receive the crowning triumph by the successful termination of the struggle they were now engaged in to effect their political regeneration . When this consummation , ' so devoutly to be deBired , ' was accomplished , then the enterprise and energies of the sons ef Mona would have fair play ; then the mineral and agricultural wealth would be fully developed , and all the advantage ! of her geographical position would bo fully apprccitted . But if these changes have the effect oi enriching those who embark their capital and enorqies in trade , what security have the working classes that they will reap their fair share of these benefits ? they are disorganised , and have , while in that condition , no power to protect their interests . Mr Peel then went into a
long explanation of the principles of the Nationa Association , and proved , by a process of reasoning that the middle dosses , as they were usually called , had an . interest as deep as the working chBses in assisting ; thereby all their means , in any well-directed effort , conducted in accordance 3 aw . . and equality , to protect their wages . lie beged 5 whnm i 1 ' 089 gentle ^ ? the mi ^ dle elMs / riEy of whom he saw round him , that their interests were he assured them it was his most earnest desire to see tne cord ot sympathy drawn closer between these twoclasses who were natural allies .

OuMondfty , August 31 , Mr Humphrii-8 attended a Be . cond meeting of the trades , of which meeting we ex . tract the following report from tho -Birmingham Journal' ?—
National Absociatiok ov United Tbades . — 0 a Monday evening last , a meeting of tho operative claeses of this town was held at the Public Office , Moor-street , for the purpose of hearing from Mr Humphries , of London , an explanation of the principles and objects of the 'National Asseetotion of United Trades . ' From the eloquent address of the above-named gentleman , it would appear that the primary object of the Association was to do away with the old system of trades ' unions , or ra . ther incorporate them into ene great union , to the privileges of which all trades would be admitted ; and , whilst they coniidered this in itself an advantnga over tho old system , they had also another in tbe mode in which they settled tho differences betwixt the employer and the employed . Instead of the workmen endeavour * ing to gain thtir jiist-rightB , or resist oppression by a
' strike , ' Which bad alwayB been found « o bs injurious t « both parties , more er less , they proposed to decide the matter in a more efficacious waj ; namely , by setting up an oppositisn trade in the tame town , to bo conducted by the workmen whom the Association had reason to believe were really oppressed . This was to W a ? compliBhed by a central fund of the contributions of tho members of the Association . T his novel plan of Battling saoh matters had already been satisfactorily tested in many towns , bothin England and Scotland , snd it was found that the threat was generally sufficient in obtain , ing for the operative his rights . Mr Humphries entered into many interesting details , and the meeting appeared to approve highly of the objects of the Association . Addresses were delivered by Mr John Para , tie chairman of the meeting , nnd ftthers friendly to its objects '
O . » Tuesday , September l 8 » ,-Mr II . returned to the Potteries , to exert himself to cftect an adjustment of tbe strike among the crate makers ; and is happy to Bay that the affair has every appearance of being speedily settled to their advantage , many of the masters having alr « ady given the price . We say to the crate makers , be steady and persevere , and , having oneo obtained your price , see that you hold it fast , and let no one take it from you . Your position is such , as 1 b not equalled in any othor trade in thecountry . You have only to stick together like man , and jou will bo able to retain tha advantage ; you are steadily and aucceSBfally accom . plishing .
Wiminhah , . —On September the 8 rd , MrHumphries attended a meeting of the locksmiths and key-forgers of thattonn . Mr H . showed the adaptation of theNational Association to meet tho wants of those trades , and as it rejjftTded the Employment Association , they could as soon , and as easily give employment to their trade , as any other trade in this country , however complicate * and intricate it might be . But , at the lama time , the Association did not wish to enter into any manufacturing or commercial speculation , unlesB they were forced into it , by the oppressive and tyrannical measures of unprincipled employers . The speaker then , directed attention to tho Holytown aff iir , &nd urged upon the meeting the hee 63 « ty of thoir individually cooperating with the Central Committeo , to procure assistance for the nobio men of Scotland ,

The speaker entered largel y into the principles of the Abbociatton , and demonstrated , to the evident satisfaction of all present , the superiority of the National Association over aU local combinations ; and that , if the redemption and elevdtiou of the working classes must be effected , it mustbeby the most national plan adopted by that Association . Tho speaker then dtoctod attention to tho Holytown miners , and an excellent Bpirit ia thoir fuvour was created , and active steps aro taken to canvass that xtcnslve district—and , we are proud to say , that tha hearts of the collectors are fully engaged in the work , and they will not leave a Bingle Bhop , or pit , or foundry unvisited ; and every operative will be asked for his mite for Holytown . This is the way to do business , and we fcol conviuced that many other trades in the country will not ba one whit behind the trades of / WoIvothampton .
At nine o'clock , p . m ., Mr Humphries attended a meeting of tho operative plasterers of that town , whea he entered fully into the constitution , principle of man . agement , and plans of opsration of the National Associa . tion . He also explained the . position oftheHolylowa miners , und showed , that if the miners failed in resisting the ^ snsnou of their masters , no trade iuthecountrf would be safe one month from similar attacks The Cliv r r , f bodyl » t ^ town , but the , hail S , ° , 1 , ° Ur cal 1 ' ' ° « y numbert ^ enty-fiT . ub cnbed £ 12 , for the miners .

Two Ekglish Gektukmek fockd bead w Ikvee-KEBs-sniRB . —At the Mansion House , on Tuesday , tie Lord Mayor received the following communication from the sheriff-substitute of Inverness-shire , dated Fort William , Iuvernes 3-shire , enclosing an account of tho finding of the bodies of two English gentlemen on the 2 nd instant . The names of the deceased gentlemen are Mr Stericker . of 49 . Fenchurch-street , aud Mr Ilenry Whitburn . brewer , Esher , Surrey . Thelettcr went on to say— 'I refer to the enclosed paper , containing the evidence of one of the first persons who found the bodies , and which contains all the information I have as yet collected . The report of the medical men is also enclosed , agreeing that death ocenrred from natural causes .
I have not as yet ordered a dissection , and will abstain from doing so , unless circumstances of a suspicious nature msy emerge , but which 1 do not sxpect . Tlwuecessaiy attention to the bodies wiil be bestowed , and I shall suspend all directions as to interment until the pleasure of the relations becomes known . I r-i owed this evenin ? , with the proenratorfiscsl , to the spat where the bodies were found , to prosecute further inquiries . ' The evidence alluded to is that of »? . S . Milner , ensien in the 69 th regiment of Fcot , who bad been residing with his brother atKinlochbcg . fifteen miles from Fort William , and it gives the following acconnt : ~ About eight o ' clock this morning ( 2 ad September ) , one of the servaitg told me that a drover had seen a dead man by the
road-side stout two miles from Kinlochbes . I went to the spot and fonnd two men lying close to one another , about threeyards from the ro » d on the low side , quite dead . There was not the slightest sign of straealing or cf violence , and their appearance pave me the . irapression that having sat down to rest they became benumbed with the csld and expired . Both were dressed as travellers , each with a small knap , sack on his back . There was a small whiskey pocket flask lying near them empty . Last n ? £ ht wa 3 vcrv stormy , wind and rain in great abundance , probably the most stormy night we have had this year . ' The statement then gives a particular account of the nro .
perty found upon the two deceased persons . Ihe medical certificate expressed the opinion that death wa ^ causcd by exhaustion and cold from the deceased having fallen asleep on the mountain oa that boisterous night . The Lord Mayor upon receipt of the commnnication on Monday sent his chaplain to the friends of Mr Stericker . and one of the marshals to hsher , to disclose the intelligence . It appears tha ' the two gentlemen - sere strangers to each other , and had journeyed together accidentally . Each had left on an excursion through Scotland , and they had been seen on the preceding uisht at no great distancefroni the spot on which tlieir corpses were found . Mr Stericker had written home on the 31 st August .
