Thit year, howeTer, thtt Una on "charity" most begin in a few from the pretent time. Nor can we real tarrrise that such helplettnett leads to the liTffigoa" Bat; who it chiefly to blame for this! Let ns tee the connetha landlords adopt to ixoproTe their people.

The largest landowner in thit district it a gentleman rained Cameron, of Lochie, the bead of the dan Cameroajsetter known here by the name of "LochieL By reputation thit gentleman it an imiable and benerolent man. lie, howertr, chootet to lire absent from hit estate.

The obstacle in the way of improTement here, therefore, was tht short eighted and too greedy landed whooe descendant now hat most to put him ia mind of bit father's folly.

Let us, howeTer, again recur to the eridence, and see the result which the non residence and neglect of the proprietors produce at compared with an opposite conduct. Mr. Crichton (before quoted) in bit eridence before the Poor Law Commissioners, Being roqaeatad to say vbetber ba bat aaytbint; to tosgest witb ratrard to tb poor, states tbat batbiakstbe increase of pauperism greatly owing to tbo sabdirition of croftt, particularly ia tbe interior of tba country.

There is, howeTer, yet stronger eridence of the good effects which hare followed upon Mr. M' Lean's attention to the duties of hit position at a landlord. Mr. M'Donaid, in hit erideace before the Poor Law Commissioners, says, Tba crof rt are ia better coaditioa oa Mr.

We get no is the cry of tbe people all orer the Ilithlands i and though tbe cry it not one of energy' tad independ caoc, out rainer one ox belplesaaess, yet is there much justice in it Generalities, howmr.

am nn. needed aad I will giro you a couple of instances which I beard of in Eoeathire, such at are not fare in this county. Last year I tent rtro maar instane of and harshness towards the natire population oa the estate of the Duke of Sutherland. The factor of thit nobleman it Mr. Loch, M.P.

for the Wick burgha That nobleman bat rtceatly told a part of hit estate ia Boasahire. near to Ardnr. in a wealthy gentleman named Mattheton, the present proprietor oi tae Island of Lewea. A portioaof the estate so sold was let to aaextensiTa alwonfcrmM. named MXeod, who hat now a large sheep farm in we isie oi stye, loot gentleman by hit energy and enterprise, beiaz without lease.

imaiv farm ia raluej In all these improremenU he was prnaea ana eaoouragea by the sub factors of the Duke of Suthtrlaad, who held out indistinct mises of remukeration te him, or.as it termed here, meliorations, Inus encouraged, he turface drained the hills of his sheer) farm, and hndWanV m.r,, stantial improjTementt, at aa expenditure ef upwards i.wi. auis was to unusual aa experiment, that the result of Jit was watched by tbe farmers of tb couatry. There imprbrementt were" rained on the sale of the estate, aad their ralue pasted Into the Duke of Sutherland's pocket and from thai ti thit Mr. JfLeod hat not receired one fsrthing in compensation, ii appucattont were put off and postponed, aad at lentrth ha was inform! uh from Mr. Loch that ao compensation could be paid mm ana uu refatal wat afleged to be grounded onprmdplertbe" when exnlainei rin understood to be that bo' tenant would undertake such tmproremeattif they did not pay himself.

The true reason, bowerer. watsimnlT thai Mr. MTwi happened to be oppoeed to Mri Loch ia his poliUcal opinions, ana naa used tus influence against him; The effect of such a princiole." acted on in nrw torious, an instance, was just this, that erery tenant of the Duke of Sutherland, ia Roes shire or Sutherlaadshire, who beard of this treatment of Mr. M'Leod, retolred, "on prindple," not to improre nu land to the ralue of one tXilling; the explanation of the phrase with them it was unwise to improre the land for the beaefit of tne landlord out of their own pockets, as they would reap no benefit from it. They got "no encourage ment." Yon will remember also that.

wbn in last year, I tent you a detcriDtion of tba clmrin ont of tbe population from a glen called Glen Calrie, ia rwstsntre. xae pubUcation of that case of coldblooded cruelty excited universal distrust and Tfnm. bation. The proprietor, Major Bobertton, of Kia aeace, nas at iengto let the glen, aad aa adjoining onirics, to a tneep larmer named Munro. Tb howerer, of "weeding out" the people naa not yet neea aoaaaoaed, but it more cautiously pursued.

It it dangerous to turn out 20 oaoe it acquires aa awkward publicity, aad the shame attaches where it ought. Now, howerer, the proprietor bit bit upon a norel expedient of carrying out "the priadple" of extermination, whilst ae nopes to escape bota toe pubudty aad the shame. He hat contrired a corenant in tb lease of the farm to Mr. Monro, with a special clause ia it, binding him to turn avay twofamUia may rear, until At comettmaa of cotton it crttr. I hare taken the paint to aaertsia' the ac curacy of bout these tntt tapes of tbe way the people of the Highlands are "woomstA before I bare thought fit to maxe them Tjublln.

fc Tali tae tort of eaeirtgaeat on the people of the Highlands get. you wonder at their apathy aad indifference, "or the oouauy is ununpruTcq i coaaact, too, it palliated on the erouad of "Drfadnlar Tt'a a fine thing it There is a weH tnowa aaecoote aoout gooa tntettfiont" torming tae parement of a rery warm pboe below; after such samnlea of nrindtila." howerer: tba n. lUy hat a good UUe to claim to be an elerated pW on either tide of the said "paTBmentw I or tae special acoommooauoa or a select few.

A Highkuid gentleman of thit district that wrltet to me on this subject, with a truthful force tndeloauenea wbicb induce me to lay hit letter before you.
