HIGHLAND TOUBIS'FS.

An unusual number of strangers and tourists have, within the last eight or ten days, passed through Inverness, and are at present exploring the scenery of the Highlands. Amongst these, on Monday last, was a splendid French party, styled the Countess Marnoss, Count Ohigarty, and suite ; but the impression here, as elsewhere, was, that " Countess Marness " was but a travelling cognomen for the Duchess of AngoulOme. Of sporting visitors, the attendance this season will be large, and their reward promises to be propor- tionate, for it is universally agreed that the game was never more abundant.
