It has been suggested that the present time is specially opportune for a movement in this direction; and that our Mr Alexander Mackenzie's special knowledge of his countrymen, their history, and wants in the present crisis, points to him as the most suitable to conduct such a paper; the marked success of the Celtic Magazine, under his guidance, when all similar attempts by others failed, being an earnest of his ability to prove equally successful in conducting a Highland newspaper. To embark in the direction proposed is a serious undertaking, both as regards its financial responsibilities and the labour and energy necessary to make the paper influential and prosperous. Very liberal support has been already offered, and nothing. is wanting to induce us and Mr Mackenzie to move in the matter, but a certainty that the paper shall be widely and energetically supported by Highlanders, and by their numerous friends at home and abroad. To test the feeling existing among those specially interested, and to put the matter beyond question, the present Circular is issued, as the most practical means, to enable all who are willing to support a Highland Newspaper to do so in a substantial form, by subscribing, and agreeing to pay a year's subscription in advance; the money not to be paid until it is finally decided to issue the paper. Should the result prove satisfactory, steps will at once be taken to start a paper of eight pages, at one penny. If, on the other hand, such interest is not shown, in the manner indicated, as will secure a certain subscribed circulation to begin with, of at least five thousand copies, it will not be deemed prudent to proceed any further in the matter at present. Whether or not the Highlanders shall have a representative paper is thus left in their own hands; and they should, in a matter of this kind, remember that "Heaven helps those who help themselves.' All who feel interested regarding the position and prospects of the Highland people; and who care for the Language, Literature, Traditions, and the Material. interests of a noble but ill-used race, will, it is hoped, aid us in securing the necessary support for carrying out the object aimed at. It is believed that the manner in which the Celtic Magazine has been conducted to such a scccessful issue, will be accepted as a sufficient guarantee that the same pru dence, firmness, and energy which secured that success will be applied with even greater results, to the conduct of such a Newspaper as is now proposed. The leading friends of the Highland people are fully satisfied-however favourable the report of the Royal Commission may be that the real work of those who demand and will insist upon a change in the present Land Laws will only begin in earnest when the nature of the Report becomes known. This points strongly to the necessity of Highlanders having a special organ of their own to advance their claims. A Gaelic department will form a feature of the paper; and special attention will always be given to Local News from every Strath, Glen, and Hamlet, where Highlanders are to be found. Orders for the paper should be forwarded without delay, to 25 Academy Street, Inverness. A. & W.

SIR EWEN CAMERON-Continued.-THE BATTLE OF KILLIECRANKIE. DUNDEE having made his arrangements, marched forward to meet the enemy, and never halted until within a musket shot of Mackay's army, numbering about 3500 foot and two troops of horse. After some preliminaries on the ground, necessary by the enemy's formation, his Lordship, in a very short time, arranged his brave little army in battle order. Sir John Maclean, then a youth of eighteen years, with his men, occupied the extreme right; next him, on his left, were the Irish, under Colonel Cannon; on their left again were the Tutor of Clanranald and his brave Macdonalds, and next to them came Glengarry and his men. Then, in the centre, were the few horse they had, including about forty of Dundee's old troops, in very poor condition. To the left of the horse was placed Lochiel at the head of his Camerons; while next, on the extreme left, was Sir Donald Macdonald leading his Islesmen.
