line of the crevice mu-t the turf have charged,
wave after wave, ages ere the last upheaval of
the land When the Dcgstone at Dunolly ex•
isted as a sea stock, skirted with alga, the break•
ers on this shore must have dashed every tide
thr,ugb, the narrow opening of the cavern, and
scooped out by handfuls the decompoiing trap
within
"Tbe process of decomposition, and consequent
enlargement, is still going on inside, but there
is no longer an agent to sweep away the disinter
grated fragment. Where the roof rises highest,
the floor is blacked up with accumulations of
bulky decaying masses that have dropprd from
above; and it is covered over its entire area by a
stratum of earthy rubbish, which has fallen from
tbo sides and ceiling in such abundance that it
covers up the straw beds of the perished islanders,
which still exist beneath, as a brown mouldering
felt, to the depth of five or eight inches. Never
yet was tragedy enacted on a gloomier theatre
An uncertain twilight glimmers gray at the en.
trance, from the narrow ce-tibule, but all within,
for two hundred f et, is back as with Egyptian
darkness - As we pa-see ai with our one feeble

rest was the relics cf the cave, including the
paces of earthen jar, and the fragments of the
porringer; but the horse's tooth seemed to be the
only real curiosity among them in the eyes of
little Bill. He laid instant hold it; and approi
prtating it as a toy, he continued playing with it
until he fell asleep
"I have now little doubt but that it was first
brought into the cave by the poor child amid
whose mould( ring remains Mr Swanson found
it. The Ittile pellet of gra) hair spoke of feeble
old age involved in this wholesale massacre, with
the vigorous manhood of the island; and here
was a story cf unsuspecting infancy amusing it
self on the eve of destructh n with its toys
Alas: for man! "Should not I spare Nineveh,
that great city," said God to the angry prophet,
"wherein are more than six score thousand per
acts that cannot discern their right hand and
their left?" God's image roust have been sadly
defaced is the murdciers of the poor inoffensive
children of Eigg, ere they could hsve beard their
feeble wafflings, raised no doubt, when the stifling
atmosphere within began to thicken, and yet
ruthlessly persist in their indiscriminate destruc

"Some hundreds of years ago," says Mr Wil
son, "a few of the McLeods landed in Eigg from
'kye, where, having greatly mis.conducted them
selves, the Eiggitee strappt d them to their own
boats, which they set Arm in the ocean They
were, however, rescued by some clansmen; and
Soon after a strong body of the McLeods set sail
from Skye, to revenge themselves on Eigg. The
natives of the latter island, feeling they were not
of sufficient force to offer resistance, went and
hid themselves, (men, women, and children,) in
this secret cave, which is narrow and of great
subterranean length, with an exceedingly small
nuance It opens from the broken face of a
steep bank along the shore, and as the whole
coast is cavernous, their particular retreat would
have been sought (Or in vain by strangers So
the Skyemen, finding the island -uninhabited,
presumed the natives had fled, and satisfied their
revengeful feeling, by ransacking and pillaging
the empty houses. Probably the moveables were
of no great value. They then t• ok their depar-
ture, and left the island, when the sight of a soli•
tary human being among the cliffs awakened
their suspicion and induced them to return.—
Unfortunately a slight sprinkling of snow had
fallen, and the (pow( ps of an individual were
traced to the mouth of the cave. Not having
been there ourselves ut the period alluded to, we
cannot speak with certainty as to the nature of
the parley which cue* cc the terms offered by
either party, we know those were not the days
of the proetocols. The ultimatum was not satie
factory to the Skye men, who immediately pro,
°ceded to "adjust the preliminaries" in their
own way, which adjustment consisted in tarry
11311 a %ast collections of heather ferns, and other
corn, ustibles, and making a huge fire just in the
very entrance of the Uumh Faaingh, which they
kept t p for a length of time; and thus, by "one

JUDGE IRWIN
Our Harbor ('reek friends will rejoice to learn
that Judge Irwin, of the United States District
Court at Pittsburg, has resigned The resign:L•
t,on was the result of a pressure demanding itn
peaehment It will be recollected that sore,
m since Le had difficu,ty in Court wi,h a
promineut member of the Pittsburg Bar, a Mr
,T.ieo Selden, who was stricken from the list of
att,,rue3s, and who rinee that difficulty has
fended himself in a manner to bring about the
above lucky result
The writer of this Lad a good opportunity of
seeing and appreciating the ex-Judge while a
the bench, some time iu the year 1854 or 5 Th"
occasion was the somewhat celebrated hearing
for "eontempt" of "King and Lowry." Judge
Hepburn, II in. Wilson McCandless and Samuel
V Black, Chief Justice of Nebraska, were
ciuusel for the parties in contempt. Mr. Mc-
Csirliess and Mr Black both .poke eloquently,
and were followed by Judge Hepburn, who eon.
eidered exclusively the "law of the easy," refer.
ring Judge Irwin to the Acts of Congress of
St.pt 24, 11'139 and of March 2, 1531, as eon
taiaing the law of contempta. The whole case
was embraced within two abort sections. After
the reading of the sections, Irwin remarked that
that disposel.of the case, the parties under ar •
rest going free; and added, that he did not know
of the Ada of congress before! This, it will be
remembered, occurred after he had issued the pa
pers upon which the gentlemen then in custody
were detained. They bad, been arrested, forced
