battalions of the gallant Roes-shire bulls
marched to conquer at Maida, at Serin

mto a« 1849, when Use present Prime
Minister bad already obtained political

there they are, elbowed to the very

of that country the proprietors even

on the fact that it has never been con

In every direction, these people, not

tbeir race. Crime of any kind is almost
unknown among them. Their moral
standing is the highest in Britain, oon-
Wasting in that respect most remarkably
