Archibala George, thirteenth #arl of Moray, died suddenly at Varnaway Castle, near Forres, Scotland, ashort time since. The Earl was served with breaklast as usual, and, when the servant entered the room, some time alterwards, he found his master prostrate on the floor, Medical aid was at once summoned, but bis lordship breathed his last almost immediately. Lord Moray ‘Was almost constantly resident at Darnaway, but ho was of a very retiring disposition, seeing almost no company, and occupying himself alone, with schemes of improvement in the buildings of tho estate, for which he grudged no expense. Some alterations were made in tue front of the castle, which are said Lo be in excelient taste, and two fine entrance lodges and gates were erected, each at an expense of several thousand pounds sterling. The splendid hall, known a8 dolpn’s Haul, ouilt by te gallant Earl Randolph, dear to Scottish memory, and in which Queen Mary held her Court in 1664, has been greatly improved by having its floor changed from stone to oak parquetry, and the win- dows from plain to stained giass. ‘The hall was built to hold 1,000 men at arms, and is spanned by a finely carved oak roof unsupported by pillars.

John Sobieski Stuart—The Lavt of “Royal Charlie.’? There has just been called away by death, in Europe, at the age of seventy-four, a gentleman who has for many years been known in certatn literary circles. in Engiand as the Chevalier or Count John Sobieski Stuart. 1t is asserted by his friends that he was the eldest grandson of the “Young Preten- der;”’ and ir this really were the case, if the Revolu- on of 1638 nad never occurred, and if the strict Jacobite theory of divine right were part and parcel of the British Constitution, the English nation at this moment would have been in public mourning for the loss of its lawiul sovereign. The real Stuart descent of this geutleman was questioned and ex- amined at considerable length 19 an article which appeared in the Quarteriy Review for June, 1847, and which was written by Mr. John Wilson Croker? who held him to be not a Stuart, out a Hay-Allan, Toformation a3 to the antecedents of tne Chevalier now deceased may be seen in tne Edinburgh Review o1 July, 1861, and in the St. James magazine, from which we quote the follow- ing extract:—‘-Among the most constant frequeat- erg of the reading room at the Briush Museum m be noticed almost dally two gentlemen, if not old, yet advancing rapidly into years, and dressed in an unmistakably foreign costume, A glance at their faces will at once remind you of the marked type of the Stuarts, especially about tne turehead and eye- brows; and, ludecd, they might sit for portraits of Charies I. and James II, respectively. The friends of these gentlemen say that they are John Sopieski Stuart and Charles Edward Stuart, and that they have proofs of their descent as grandsons of “re Young Pretender.’ And we believe we are not wrong in asserting that both of the brothers when young held commissions in the French army, and served against us at Waterloo, where one of them was instrumental mm svg the life of Napoleon as he fled from the fleid. it is said that the elder brother is busily engaged upon a work on military science.” Itts this “elder brother?’ woo is now de- the key of F major, three-quarter time, and extends from D to F, one octave and minor third, “Kiks Galop.” W.

Roberis, the actor who attempted to kill Dimsell by thrusting the blade of a pocket-knife into his breast and abdomeh thirty-one times, at Bowl- ing Green, Tuesday afternoon, ties in so critical a Condition that but little hope of bis recovery is en- tertained, © Roberts was subject to fits of melancholy and frenzy, a state of mind which is believed to have been occasioned by the partial loss of his voice a sae or 80 since, In consequence of which ne nad to cast for minor parts. This depressed his spirit to such degree that he came to the conclusion he was unfitted for the world ana the world for Of tt the beter. and that the seoner he was oat While suffering from the “slings and arrows of out- Tageous fortune” he would oiten remark that the burden of lie was too heavy for him, and admitted that hia thoughts ever tended toward “that mys- terious bourne from which no traveller returns.’ About four weeks ago he tried to kill himself at Winchester, Va., by cutting an agi gash in his Uhroat, but was saved by a skillal doctor and care- mul nursing. Early Tuesday afternoon Roberts went to bed in one of the hotels at Bowling Green. The opposite bed was occupied by Mr. 8. W. Ashley, who had been suffering irom a biilious attack. ‘At half-past Unree o'clock Mr. Ashley got up and dressed hiuuself for the purpose of going after some medicine. Roberts asked him to close the door afier him, as he ‘wanted to take au uninterrupted nap. AS Mr, Ashe ley went through twe passageway he heard Roberis | get up and lock the door, but thougat nothing of the | Cireumstanee. Mr. Ashiey did not returon to the room until he went with William Vestell, the latter naving been requested to do so by Miss Kate Ks- | velle, Roberts’ sister, Who said she believed her brother intended to kill himself, She nad pre- viously gone to bis room and asked adinittance, He opened the door for her, aud she thought she ob- served blood upon him; but the room was so dark that she was not certain as to this fact, He re- marked to her as she left the room that she would be sorry 1t she didn’t stop there and not go to the hall that night, As the hour at which she was v0 appear upon the stage had almost arrived, she nas- | tened to the hal, hoping to tinu and send some one | to. prevent Roveris fro doing any harm £0 himself. nen Vestell, Ashley and the landiord attempted to enter Roberts’ room, they iound the door locked and had to force it open, Roverts having become so weakened irom the loss of blood that he was un- able to rise from his bed. It was discovered that he had lost nearly @ galion and a half of bicod, that his clothing, the sheets, quilts and the bed were completely saturated, ‘the inside floor knob whica he had turned, upon the appearance of nis sister, Was covered with olood, and the door, from his bed to the door, was red with the lile-stream which ne had so desperately poured out, fits most serious Wounds were below und above the heart and through the lungs, though none of the cuts were muc’ Wider than a kniie-biade with which he stab- bed himseli. The blade was as sharp as any razor, and if 1¢ nad been pushed from side to side would doubtless nave produced almost instant death, | _ The unhappy man insisted that his wounds woula ; Drove mortal, aud shook his head despairing|: when any chance jor his recovery was suggested. On the last page of his diary the following enwy haa been maue:— “Nr. Ashley has just left the room. I am going to take a good long sieep. Goodby, life, forever.” Very little of Roberts’ history is kaown here, W, R. Roberts 3s sald to be lis professional name, he was from New York, and had been coanected with the Jenny Wilmore troupe only since she became tne lessee of the Masonic Theatre.
