Bruce Low, M.A., Con- tributes anr interesting paper to a. recent numiber of Chamnbers' Journal under the title of "The Bravost Briton at Waterloo." The gallantt soldior roferred tu was General Sir James Macdonell, G.C.B., of the Macdonolls of Glengarry, whuse dis- tinguished hravery, according to the Duke of Wellington, helped te turn the waxoring tide of battle into une1 of success on that memorable oc-i casion.1 The writer says " Ail British and' Frenchi writers agree that the de-1 fonce of the Chateau and farmhousei of Ilougomont was the key to Wol-i lington's position at Waterloo. When Lord Uxbridge- asked the 'Iluke which was the mnatorial point of his opera-1 tions ln case auy accident should ovrtake hlm, the reply was 'Keep Hougomunt.' Tu bold this vital point in his lirio of battle Wellington chose the Coldstreanm Guards under Lieut.-Col., Sic James Mardoneîl, a gigantic, broad-shouldered High- lander from Invergarry, and tu theso saine bruad shouldece and the per- fervidunt ingoniumn Scotorum which at the supreme moment and crisis of the assault refused to yield, Wlling- ton, after the battle, accorded the laurois of victory, when appealed ýto, in awarding the prize of five hun- dred pounds boqueathed te 'the bravest soldiers ini the British army at Waterloo.' -Wellington wrote: 'The success of the battle of Waterloo turned upon the closing of the GATE S OF UoIOMONT. These gates were closed in the miost courageous manner at the uick of -timo by Sir James Macdonell. 1 cannot help thinking, therefore, that Sic James ie the mani to whum yu should give the five hundred pounds.' Like a true Hiighland gentleman, Macdonelbhanded oveî' the money tu the stalwart sorgeant, -who shoulder to shoulder with this colonel of the Guards hadL4 forced back the dooi' on its hinigos in face of an overwhelm- ing force of the enemy. The party who assisted at the defence of liou- gumont wore men from the lighit coinpauios 0f the Coldstream Guards and of the 3rd or Scots Guurds. Among them wvere two brothers. ttrahiam by rine, alsu two sergeants of the Scots Uuards-Bry ce Mac- gregor, a native o0f Argylîshire, who enlisted at Glasgow ln 1799, and re- malned iii the service till 1822, and Sorgeant -Ralph Fraser, a vetoran who had served with distinction in Egypt in 1801, and in llanover and Copenhiagen. Alter describing the niow lu sight. In less time than it takes to relate Sir Jêmes Macdonell and Sergeant Grahamn placod their bruad shoulders agninst the open gates, aud while their comrades on- gaged and overcar.ie the daring spirits amiong the enemy who strug- gled to resist the he'txy doors Were swung together and Ilougomont was savecd. lu another instant the heavy cross bar whichý held the doors to- gether was fixed byGraham, and the iniuriatcd hlows of the hatchet audý bayonet boat unavailingly on the solid planks of which the gates were composed. Long afterwards the. im- prints of bloody hands upon the gate post and timbere told the tale of< the frantic disappointment, and passion of the assallants which be- came fiercer as the plercing cries of the, huuted Frenchmen still within the yard berame gradually silenced lu death." Wheni the Dulce of Wellington awarded the Norcross bequest of five hundred puunds to Colonel Mac- donoîl as "the bravest soldier at Waterloo" it was to Grahama that ho passed on the git, with the re- mark :"! cannot cdaim al the mnirt due to the closing of the gutes of Hougomout, for Sergean)t John Gra- ham, who saw with me the im- portance of the stop, rushed forward aud together we closed the gates." The other bravo fellows who had held the post at the 'lane aud gate till succour arrived were net alto- gether forgotteii, for it appears that Sergt-Major Macgregor retired after twenty-twu years' service with a considorable pension and was select- ed as une of the Yeomen of the Guards, andl wns thus well provided for until his death, on-27th Novem- ber, 1846. Sergt.-Majoc Ralph Fras- or was, aftor his disdliarge in 1818, appointed te a position in Westmiins- ter Abhoy, where hoe contiuued tilI ho wns over E1GIITY îYFARS 0F AGF.

The faînily estates wore hoav- ily mortgaged lu consequence of the prominont part taken by them lun the Jacobite rising 0f 171.5 and 1745, wheni, as official documents show,j they brouglit five hundred clansmen Lto the fieldi.

Sover eigns Whose ReignsE Have Been Clouded Withpisaster and Failure, "What is the finest sight lu the world ?- said Hlorace Walpole. "A corunation. What do peuple miost talk about ? A curonatien. What le the thing most delightful te have pnssed ? A corenatien." Tiese words are ant accurate in- dication of the close scrutlny which is cast by the public oye upon this great historical evont. It arousos, therefore, but little surprise tu learo that even' the tiniest incidents on this gi-ont occasion have been ce- miarked aud nuted don by the cu- clous; while a value altegether dis- proportionate hase bon not linre- quently nssigued te thom. Natucnlly, this lhas proved te ho the case lu a very marked manner at the corenation of soi ereigus , whose reigus have, subsequently been Cloud- ed witl disaster and failure; or, per- lape, terminated in a violent and untimely end. Thero was the well knewn scene at the deathhed of Edward thue Con- fesser, when Harold auJ bis rela- tives forced their way intu the Kinges bedchamnber and demanded the name of lis successor. "Yo know ful well." replied the dying moîiarch, "that I have lho- queathed my kingdem 'tu theo Duke of Normandy, and are there flot thoso here whose onths laveo been given to soecure his succession." Dissatisfied with thies is,çer, the Farl proceedod te repeat tke ques- tion lu stiil mure poui-rîptory termis. The coronation of Edirard Il. iras n scOfl o0f desperate confusion.

The Abhot and other membre of the couveeut met the King ns usual nat the door of the Abbey, but with heavy lecarîs, f or, nccordiug te tradition, 'they sang Te Deum irith a faint courage" ouly.

Inl reality, tic omnission of the Communion, aud ether promînont features of the rite, iras eutirely due to a desire te refrain from outraging the Papal sympathies of tic King. Once more, the time-lonoced, proces- sion from the Tower througi tie ity to Westminster was nbancloned on the grouud of expeuse.
