To the Editor of the Examiner.

Srr,—The following extract taken from an articlewn ‘Skirmishing Funds” in a recent sumber of an Edinburgh Journal, may perhaps be interesting,—probably suggestive—to some of your readers. One word of comment is unnecessary from

C’AkSON.

(From the Weekly Scotsman )

All this; however, is of comparatively little interest to us here ;-but there is one passage inthe report of the committee to which speci:] att ntion may be called. It is, that"$2 000 were given to Captain Neil to “ptirchrse or subsidise the Scottish High- lander.” This is not exactly news ; for, long ago, statements of a similiar kind were 'made, What is clearly known is, that \there was a paper published in Inverness ‘ealled the Highlander, which professed to be edited by a Mv. John Murdock. If we remember rightly, Psofecsor Blackie once fell in love with Mr. Murdoch’s legs, displayed below the garb of old Gaul, and ‘gave vent to his raptures in a sonnet in our | columns. Mr. Murdoch went, it was said, to America‘on a lecturing tour; and it must have been about that time the 2000 dollars were given, if ever they were given The strongest reason for doubting that the movéy was ever paid, is to be found in the utter absurdity involved in the sup-

profession as * school teacher I can DOW p+’ Yb cition that the Highlander could be a
