OthOT.--••-RORAMONDEN. — We are certainly improving, and getting much cleaner then we were a short time since.— MAIWILN.—We are better than we were last week, but are sot clean yet. Some grounds look very sickly, and can do but little; on the whole, however, there is a decided inn peoveraent.-o—HOLLINOBOU ItX.— The bine is certainly much cleaner than it was last week, and looking pretty well, giving a good promise of a fair crop.--UNDISit On the kill the bine is pretty clean, and doiag well ; but on the low grounds it is very foul, and has plenty of fire-blot. The lice are following up the new shoots to their tops. Sayan OAKS, SEAL, AND PLANTOL.—The bine is pretty pod in all these parishes, and looking well.—Tunaathioz. —We are still very foal, but there is en improvement since OUT lest.--SitienuenN.—There is some very good bine in this parish, and some altogether the reverse. In most parts it is foul, but making a little insprovenient.--CitarnAn AND Se nooD.—The bin e looks memorably well here, and clean.-- BART AND WEST FAILLEIOII. —lt is impossible for the bine to wear a better appearance. The hur in many places is out free, and in a few days we shall bare Hope.--Essr SOT /DN.—The bins is g e tting along very well, and is pretty cilisan.—Tat.oltto.—Our Hops OTC looking well, and the bine is clean. In many places the bur has begun to show itself and IooksheaIthy.—STAPLEIIIIIU3T.--We are improv ing very fast. In some grounds, where the bine has been bad, it is growing through, and looking clean and beautiful. —llaAnconx.—ln some places the fire blast has played great heron upon us, but in other grounds the bins never Looked bitter—BATTLE, July IL —Hops continue grow ing. The hints are shaking hands across the alleys. Vermin has increased in some grounds, end consequently honey-dew has followed. Thy Aphis has bed num erous enemies which have devoured them, otherwise they would have been more destructive.—Cawrza auser.—We have had very warm weather this last week. Our plantations are going on as favourable as we can wish; some are c3roing out in bur. From appearance at present we may calculate on a good crop in general..-- HANOLILDOWN.—Hops here are sporting in some plantations, but cannot look better in others. The fiy still attacks every leaf as soon as it is oat ; the leaves are perforated from the top of the shoot to the bottom of the plant. They have not branched yet two inches. Last year's poles are not used up, for they are now in stacks.—BAßHAN.--Our plantations are going on luxuriantly ; they have a clean and healthy eppearouce.—Bathoz.—We thall have a short crop of Hope here ; some of our plantations have not used all their last year's poles, the plant is so weakly.--Stvaste—We are going on well ; good strong branch, sand plenty of them; no vermin to check them.—HoArie.—We shall not have above a half-crop. In some ground the fly still commits havoc. —Tiesuetier.—Tbe bine during the past week has mad* but little progress. The lice are very numerous, and a great deal of vermin. leonine grounds there is a little improve ntent.— —Mae ri ELD.—Our Hops are on the retrograde in many of our gardens, and others, if looking at pees at thriving, yet give indications of going off, on account of an increase of vermin, in the last few days, to an amazing ex tent.—GOVDRURST.—Hops are now making considerable IFTET:eitil::Utft:Tatteirrealla w d e eci m ele . d y iLlp , ro e ne n t e . produce. Potatoes are now doing well, and all signs of disease have disappeared, but they require rain.— BURWSRH.—We have hod the weather remarkably hot this week, the effect of which has been that the bine has grown, and it is the opinion of several growers that a con tinuation of the same would entirely destroy the insect, which is still found in coma& rable norabers.—BiteNett• Lev.—Our plantations,with a few exceptions, are improving, and we hove less vermin, particularly on the BRIGHTLINO.—The Hops are improving.—DALLINOTON. —The Hops have improved during the put week.— SPELDHUBST AND As HURST.—The Hops in these parts are growing, and the greater portion of the vermin has disap peared. I: some few grounds they are very bleck.--Tre pat Do n WELLS.—The c,inditions of the Hops round cbout this neighbourhood arc exceedingly various. In somegrounds they use looking exceedingly well, while in other grounds they are quite black, and are anything but promising.— P EISSMARSIL—Our Hops are in a very precarious state ; in spite of the weather being excessively hot, the leaves are loaded with lice, and the low grounds are going fast into blight. HEREFORDSHINE.—The accounts from the Hop-yards of this eouatry, which comprises four-fi ft hs of what is called the "Worcester District, ' are extremely unfavourable. Grounds, hitherto the finest and most luxuriautare laden with vermin and the leaves and bines present a jaundiced, curled, and wither, d appearance. It is, however, not too late fur hope. By the 2.5 th instant we shall probably be able to give a d.ei sive opinion. Blight also prevails to a great extent, aad the produce will certainly be partial . WOOL—ANDOVER, JCLY 17.-43raziers still hold for higher prices. There are willing buyers at from 24.1. to 32a. per tod. BRADFORD.—The supply of Wools coming to market is rather on the increase, but limited by the high prices sought by the growers, which acts as a drawback to more extended operations. In prices there is no change. Nulls and broke. are more inquired fur, and a shade better prices are realised. Asi.trax.—Very little long Wool is coming to market. The growers exhibit increased firmness in holding out for higher rates, which cannot be realised in our local markets. The spinners have obtained a small advance upon short Wool, but dealers say they cannot realise the increased rates, and but little is changing hands. Ilum..—Prices rather in favour of the buyers. LEEDS.—A pretty considerable quantity of foreign Wool bee changed hands this week, prices being firm, at late quo tations. We bare not any change to report in English. the demand is about the same as the last few weeks. Prices are stationary. Ltvaitroor..—There has not been so good an inquiry for Wool as during the previous week, excepting for Russian, of which a few lots have been sold at 7d. Prices roman firm. A cargo of Port Philip has just arrixed, which will be brought to the hammer on the .sth of next month, with a quantity of East India, Buenos Ayres, &c.

SMITUFIELD, Tiro o'Clock.— Although the supply of Beasts, es regards numbers, is con siderable, there is • great deficiency in quality ; the beat descriptions are, consequently, readily disposed of. The weather being much cooler also gives activity to the trade. From Holland and Germany we have .569 ' • from Lincoln shire, 500; about 850 from Leicester and Northampton • 60 from Scotland; and the remainder from various parts o f country. We have riot so many Sheep and Lambs as on Monday last; the trade is more cheerful; and, in the choicest descriptions, 2d. per 81ba. advance is realised. Front Hollaad and Germany there are 2,200. We have, fur a Monday's market, rather a large number of Calves ; the demand is increased, and prices rather better : there are 116 from Holland. Trade continues steady for Pige.

COMMITTEE.— Eccleidastical Jartsdictke Amendment BilL THIRD READlNG.—Consohda:ed Fund (Appropriatke) BBL MANCHESTER BISHOPRIC BILL. On the motion that the order of the day be read, Mr. ESCO rT gave some explanation as to the reason why, on the preceding night, he had moved that the chairman should report progress. He admitted that the motion was irregular in matter and form ; he regretted that he ha] made it; and hoped the hon. chairman (Mr. Greene) would not suppose it was done for the sake of embarrassing him in the discharge of his important duties. Mr. GREENE assured the hon. member that he had met supposed his motion was made with any such intention. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL.' On the order of the day being read for the third reading a this bill Mr.HUME objected to one clause, the 24th, which gave power to the treasury to alter the proportionate amounts in , the different departments, provided the gross amount was exceeded. This' was a very convenient power for the govern ment; but it rendered the discussion in that house on the several items perfectly nugatory. The pro;ser course would be, if at the end of the session any excess had arisen on cer tain items, to state the matter to the house. It was im possible to make estimates strictly accurate; and this bad led to the clause he objected to, which was introduced for the first time last session. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, admitting the importance of the clause, contended that it was neces sary to obviate the inconvenience arising from excesses on some items and deficiencies on others. Hitherto, it had been regularly stated by how much the estimates haefallen short; and when this did happen, bow could the deficiency tr: sup plied but by the surplus on other items ? The only difference now made was, that Instead of the parties concerned doing this in an unauthorised war, they were now empowered to do it with the authority of the Treasury. Sir J. GRAHAM said the clause was certainly somewhat new to him. Great inconvenience had arisen in past years, from outstanding balances in the ordnance estimates 'beisig applied to the frogrees of works in the navy, which had not been authorised by the house. At the same time, so long as the system of proceeding by estimates was persevered in, it was impossible to dispense with some authority for applying balances to make up deficiencies ; hut he objected to this being done without an annual audit, by a duly qualified auditor, and an annual account. Upon the application of this check, would his approval or disapproval of the clause depend. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that by a bill introduced last session, by the government of which the right hon. baronet was so distinguished a mem ber, the system of audit was provided for, and was now the law of the Land,—u far as regarded the army, the ordnance, and the commissariat department. After a short conversation, the bill was read a third time. Oa the question that the bill do pass, Mr. HUME canvassed at great length the proceedings of the Tidal Harbours Commission. The state of the harbours of this country was a question in which the whole kingdom, end not merely one harbour, was interested. All the harbour. In which abuses were going on, should be looked into and the evils removed. He was a :cry the government had not brought in any measure on the subject. Railways were permitted to carry goods from one part to another without paying any tax, whereas one million of money was charged on the shipping of this country, in the shape of harbour due*, a large portion of which went to corporations, and was grossly misapplied. He merely mentioned these matters with the hope that the government would prepare some mea sure on the subject next session. (Hear, hear.) There was another subject to which he wished to refer, namely, public charities. 180,0001. had been expended in making inquiries into every charity in the country, but the information, which filled twenty-six volumes, had not been made any use of, for it had led to no reform or improvement. He withdrew his bill lot session, with the hope that the govern , ment would introduce a measure on the subject this session ; they had not, however, done so, and he would admit that they had been greatly pressed by affairs of pure mount importance. He trusted, however, they would direct their attention to the subject in the next parliament—(hear, bear) and not exempt the City of London, which had cla moured lordly for exemption when he brought forward his bill. He thought there should be no exemption, but that the trustees of every public charity in the country should annually lay a balance-sheet before the public. (Hear.) Sir G. GREY said a bill had bcea prepared on the sub ject of charitable trusts, which was intended to have been submitted to the other house of parliament; but it did not appear that there was any prospect of carrying it this swim. Another reason for postponing the bill was, that it was ia tended to be carried out through the agency of the judges of the new county courts ; and they had been so recently ap pointed, that it would not be wise to place such additional duties on them thus early. After a fev observation* from Mr. S. O'Brien, Sir R. H. Inglis, Mr. Brotherton, Mr. Divett, and Mr. Watley, urging the necessity of the introduction of a bill on the subject, with a view to the better administration of charitable funds, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said this conversation was quite irrelevant to the subject of the bill before the house--namely, the Consolidated - Fund (Appro priation) B:ll—and he hoped it would not be continued, as it would greatly interrupt the progress of public business. Mr. Encore having briefly addressed the house, the bill was passed. ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION AMENDMEN BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. On clause 1 being read, Sir J. GRAHAM said be would consent to the bill, if it were limited to one session, and the government would pledge themselves to introduce • comprehensive measure on the subject in the next parliament. Sir G. GREY only intended to propose the bill as • temporary expedient. Ho hoped to be able to bring in a permanent measure on the subject in the next parliament, bit he could not pledge himself that it would be one of the first measures introduced by the government. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought there would be no difficulty in introducing a bill on the subject which would give general satisfaction. Mr. BOUVERIE sincerely hoped that such a measure would be introduced. After a conversation, in which the Attorney-General, Sir J. Graham, Dr. Nicholl, and Mr. Eecott took part, The clause was agreed to, as were the remaining clauses, with some verbal amendments. The house resumed, and the report was ordered to be re ceived on Monday. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL. The third reading of this bill was postponed till Monday. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES BILL. The committal of this bill was also postponed, and the house adjourned at a quarter past three, having been de tained about three quarters of an hour in consequence of the Lords not having been enabled to make • house, under the circumstances stated in the Lords' report.

In Tipperary, Mr. BAGWELL, we are glad to perceive, stands on liberal principle., Mr. NICHOLAS - MAHER, the present repeal member, being tired of senatorial honours. Mr. BAGWELL is the representathe of an old tory family, and from his high connexions we augur his return. He has met, however, with a singular opponent in Mr. FRANCIS SCULLY, who is a member of the English bar, and affects to be an out-and-out repealer. We do not wish to disparage the personal pretensions of Mr. SCULLY, but we frankly say that we doubt his political sincerity. He settles himself for life in England, where he seeks for professionalsuccess. IL?lays himself under anobliga- Son to court English good will, and seeks admission to the legislature upon hostile and anti-English princi ples. We confess that we cannot understand the ease of a repeal zealot, who takes special care to choose England as his residence ! His supporters have pompously announced Mr. SCULLY 68 " a mem ber of the English bar." His views in life strangely disagree with his scheme of released politics. Of such a candidate we must doubt either the sense or the sincerity. We believe, therefore, that on the whole we may look for an improvement in the clans of Irish members elected to the next parliament. More men of in fluence, of established and recognised position, will be returned. We have no faith in the quantity of acres or gold a candidate may possess, but as society is con stituted it is almost a matter of necessity that mem bers of parliament should be taken from the influen tial classes. A member of parliament, in order to secure proper respect, should be aman either of vigorous political talents or eminent social position. The Cork Southern Reporter, totally misapprehending the spirit of our remarks on the recent county of Cork election, has asked us whether Lord L RUSSELL.. or Mr. MA CAULAY, or Mr. Slim, and others, belong to the class of proprietors of the soil? Let Ireland send us over representatives with the talents and accomplishments of the public characters now named, and we can assure the Reporter, on the part of the English public, that no inquiry will be made ns to the class of society from which a Celtic RUSSELL, or Hibernian MACAULAY, may have sprung. We expressed our doubts as to the fitness of Dr. MAUR/CZ POWER (who may in his walk of life be most respectable) for a representative of the vast county of Cork. Our remarks had 11) special reference to Dr. POWER. We were only exposing the system of polities under which a very inferior body of Irish representatives is chosen. Once for all, let us make the matter plain by a reference to facts, which our friends in the Irish popular party cannot deny. We need not go beyond the Southern Reporter's own locality, the county of Cork. What kind of representatives, we ask, have the repealers of that great county sent into parliament since 1832 ? By a great ma jority they elected the fantastic adventurer, FEARGUS O'CONNOR ! They selected him in prefe rence to liberals of tried character and known worth. For his colleague they selected a gentleman of excel lent private character, but without any public talents, and with a fortune as modem . e as his abilities—a most respectable man in• his own sphere of life, but utterly ridiculous when dubbed knight o f ! the shire "--Mr. STANDISH BARRY. For nine years that gentleman was member for the largest county in Ire land, and those acquainted with the House of Commons ran testify that he was a mere nonentity. He sat in parliament for a series of years, and never exerted himself further than to say "yea " er "nay." A gentleman who considers it a mark of social distinc tion to call himself " Doctor," who feels that his per sena], rank is increased by tbat prefix, has now been returned by the Cork repealers as member for the first county in Ireland! FEARGUS O'CONNOR, STANDISH BARRY, Doctor NI SURICE POWER—are these, forsooth, the kind of public men best suited to the exigencies of such a country as Ireland ? Let us not be told by the repeal apologists that we are exacting too aristocratic a standard for the Irish members. We have no aristocratic prejudices to gratify on such a subject. If a man of rank and for tune, without ability or public virtue, aspire to the senate, he ought to be strenuously opposed, in our opinion. The large estates and the ancient pedigree of Mr. EDMUND BURKE ROCHE, one of the members for Corkshire, by no means atone for that gentleman's indolence and want of talent. Mr. ROCHE was absent from his parliament during nearly all the session in this event ful year. The dying O'CosisatcL made an effort to attend the legislature, while his young and healthy colleague remained in Ireland attending to his own affairs. Mr. Roans (EDMUND BURKE—save the mark!) at the end of this session delivered himself of an attack on the " Irish party" in terms so unjust, that he was rebuked in the House of Commons by one of his own party. Now, just as we object to a firebrand like FEARGUS O'CONNOR, or a mere cypher like STANDISH BARRY, so do we demur to the elec tion of a notorious political sluggard like Mr. EDMUND BURKE ROCHE. The famous patronymic of this gentleman, home by one of such feeble abilities, pre sents as ludicrous a combination of ideas as if we heard of WILLIAM SHAKSITARE SIDTHORP, or ISAAC NEWTON FERRAND! SHERIDAN once said that " he was too poor to afford dressing shabbily," and in the same way Ire land cannot afford such a class of representatives as the FEARGUS O.CONNORS, STANDISH BARRYS, BURKE Rocue.s, et hoc genus omne. If Ireland were a country with a self-reliant population like the Scotch, she might be comparatively indifferent as to her mere political representatives, but, in her present position, it is a matter of the last importance to give political power to none but men qualified to wield it for the advantage of her people, and to reflect credit on their country by their intellect and conduct. THULE is no doubt that the evils of the game-laws and the immoralities of game-preserving are making a profound impression on the public mind. In Scot land, where the farmers, from having leases, are more independent than the English farmers, the sub ject has become one which will considerably influence the forthcoming elections. In nearly all the contests the candidates admit extensive changes in the game laws to be necessary. No man, seeking the marages of his fellow-subjects, dares to avow a desire to main tain the game-laws in their integrity. This is signi ficant, and it is hopeful. But such makeshifts do not satisfy those who understand, either from experience or full inquiry, the demoralisation and destruction of food caused by game. So far as the taw is concerned, nothing short of the total abrogation of all game laws will suffice anything short of that is sheer delu sion. It is instructive to mark the steps by which public opinion on the subject is impelling candidates towards that—the only rational conclusion. In East Lothian the tory and whig candidates bid against each ether by way of modification of the game laws. In the Haddingten Burghs Sir F. DAVIE, in a great mea sure owes to his mere emphatic declaration against the game laws the present sole and apparently un disputed possession of the field. While Mr. GIBSON MAITLAND, the last announced candidate for the Stirling Burghs, declares that if modification of the law shall prove insufficient to correct the evils of the game laws, which he distinctly admits to exist, he will afterwards support a total repeal. Now this is really taking a crooked way instead of a straight one, without excuse, for as the orientals say, " what is written, is written." The most full, clear, and de cisive evidence of the necessity of total repeal stands recorded in the evidence taken before the game law committee. And that evidence is not, as often happens, conflicting, for it is all one way. And much of the most condemnatory testimony was given by game preservers Clemselves, who seem to be so passionately addicted to game as to have lost, in con nexion with game, all distinct perception of right and wrong. Nor will Mr. MAITLAND have far to go e verify . some important evidence in that report; for Fi fe shire is infested by game preservers. Indeed, Captain Wesm-s, the present member for the county, is noto rious for his strict preservation of game and his con ' stant litigation with his tenants and others upon the subject. The csmmunications we constantly receive upon the subject by different correspondents and from various districts are so uniform in their descriptions of ' the ravages of game as to afford complete currobora tion, which, however, is not needed, of the truth of the statements made before the game-law committee.

Thanks to the leaders of the repeaters, the ridiculous shares with the fearful in Iris% affairs. A ludicrous contro versy on the subject of begging plices from the much abused " Saxons " is at present raging between the Old and Young Irelanders. The dispute was com menced by the latter. At the meeting of their monthly club, which they have pompously called the " lash Confederation," they proposed to enact a species of "self-denying ordinance" for the future representatives of the repeal party. They declared that no candidate for parliamentary honours should have their support who was not ready to pledge him self that he would neither ask for others,nor accept for himself, a place from a ministry opposed to repeal. This was putting the repeal principle to a terrible test. The Old Icelanders, with Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL at their head, denounced the resolutions, and con tended with no small zeal for the inalienable right of Irish patriots to beg and accept places. They had no idea of the loaves and fishes being withheld from them. By this controversy, the mingled weakness and folly of the repeal party is most significantly exposed. When a cause is radically hopeless and entirely im practicable, even men of sense and talent cannot give it dignity or grandeur. We see in the case of the repeaters what a vain and obetfnate party become when men of feeble talents and few resources seek to make wrong principles prevail. Both sections of the repealers are by this controversy placed in a position equally ridiculous. First, supposing that the proposition of the Young Irelanders was acted upon, what would be the result? Simply that an additional share of power would be possessed by the imperialists in Ireland. Nor is that all. When we recollect that the repeal members (so called) are most of them catholics, and represent catholic constituencies, the effect of withdrawing all patronage and influence from their hands would he to give additional vigour to the social ascendancy of the protestants. At present the protestants vastly pre junderate in all the departments, as well on the dicial and magisterial benches as in all the offices connected with the executive. Damming up the chan nel through which patronage and office might reach the catholic population can only confirm that ine quality between the protestants and catholics which the best friends of Ireland have desired to remove. Secondly, the Old Irelanders have, in this controversy, shown the hollow structure of their party. In the excessive eagerness with which they have vindicated the right of place-begging and place getting, they have unconsciously betrayed their condition. What a spurious repeal party they are ! They yell against England, bat they roar for her pay. They denounce the Saxon, but implore him to salary them. They vitupe rate the ministers, whom they solicit to confer *ces on their brothers, and cousins, and needy friends. Miss MARTINEAU, in her "Travels in America," has eloquently recorded her indignation at the political insincerity prevalent amongst a certain class of American public men." She rebukes "those sinners of the rostrum!' who, deriding the democracy in private, exhibit the most abject subserviency in public to its capricious decrees. We are afraid that the. Yankee politicians alluded to are surpassed in political double-dealing by many of the Irish re peaters. The principle of this " repealer's self-denying or dinance " was sought to be carried out at the recent election for the county of Cork. Mr. DENNY LANE, a prominent member of the Young Ireland party, made it a test for the repeal candidate. Several repealer* (so called) implored Mr. LANE not to press his reso lution. They quaked at the loss of anticipated places under " a vile Saxon government." Mr. Lore, how ever, persevered ; the candidate (Doctor Powell) appeared to swallow the unpalatable pledge with a wry face, and seemed likely to disgorge it on the hustings. A correspondence, however, ensued be tween the parties, in which the candidate committed himself to Mr. LANE'S ordinance. Meantime Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL declared war against the anti place-begging resolutions. He claimed Dr. POWER as an Old Irelander, and stated that " Dr. Fowles distinctly intimated to him that he refused to take the pledge "—a declaration which seems "passing strange " after the published correspondence, in which Mr. LANE very skilfully fastens the candi date to the offensive pledge. The new member for the great county of Cork (the gentleman e to fill O'CoNNELL'S place!) makes very awkward deka in parliamentary life. He is a declared " Old Wander "—seeundurn Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL ; but he is also secundum Mr. DENNY LANE, pledged to Young Ireland's " Repeal self-denying ordinance!" But in spite of all the absurdity and mischievous policy of the discordant repeaters we rejoice to find that the electors are acting upon the principles we urgently recommended to their notice. They are in several places rejecting the candidates with extrava gant national pretensions, and preparing to support honest men attached to the feasible principles of ra tional liberalism. We think that there is reason for Than a writer, who lately occupied as a farmer 500 protective duties of the Zollverein tariff into acres of land, says " I have been driven from purely revenue dirties.

On these grounds th e nant of Blacketyside, Sunnybraes, and Lundin parks, Prussian journalist bases his appeal t o and Captain James ERSKINE WEMYSS, M.P. for the states comprising the Zollverein, a s th ey Fifeshire." This case is so illustrative of the game wish to see German enterprise, German indust r y, system and its progress, that we shall give a succinct and German capital permitted to devel o p ti e ; statement of the proceedings reported. natural resources of Germany to their full extern, In 1831, Sir joins D.

ERSKINE, of whom required for the raising of a public revenue. Captain WEMYSS is one. In 1837, the lease of Blacketyside was renewed. There was no condition in either lease as to the protection or preservation ofi game on the one hand, or any stipulation for damages on the other. In fact, the evil had not then become so plain, as will appear by the following account, contained in the proceedings of the transition to a game farm : During the time of Sir John D. Erskine there was no gamekeeper on the estate, and the game wu not preserved ; while some of the tenants kept sporting dog", and shot over the property. The game was in consequence very scarce, and no perceptible injury was done to the crepe. At Sir John's death, which took place in 1836, he was succeeded in the Lundin estate by Captain Wemyss, who immediately appointed a gamekeeper, and a system of rearing and pro tecting the game was commenced. He withdrew the per minions to shoot enjoyed by the tenants, and requested the sporting dogs to be put away; poaching of every sort was strictly prohibited ; there was no sporting except for a day or two in course of the season by Captain Wemyss and has friends ; every sort of vermin was trapped and destroyed dog spears were stuck in trees in the woods for the purpo.e of , killing dogs or foxes; pheasants' eggs were hatched under domestic fowls, and the produce turned out up in the fields; has, partridges , and pheasants, were fed in winter with torn and potatoes; brushwood and lopping' of hedges were laid in the woods for sheltering the pheasants; the game keeper for the first three years had a game license without exercising it except to kill • hare or a few partridges now and then, and for the last three years he held no license at all ; while his whole time was devoted to the protecting of the game and destroying vermin—the result ofall which was, that the pheasants and hares on the property multiplied ten yr fifteen fold, so that the injury done by them to the produce of the farms became intolerable. In 1844 Mr. WasoN, who had succeeded his father as tenant, applied to Capt. West vss's factor to have the game damage valued with a view to compen sation. That was refused ; when the tenant " raised an action " in the Sheriff's Court, and valuers, after much opposition on the part of Captain WEMYSS, were appointed on the 16th of September, by which time a considerable part of the crops had been cut down. They, however, reported game damage then Icapable of being estimated to the extent of 441. 185.6 d. This did not include injury to the hay and other crops already cut, or to the turnip crops,which happened in the winter. Long pleadings, many proofs, and much argument was offered on both sides; the contention on the part of the tenant being, that if the landlord during the currency of the lease increase the burden of game on the farm, he must make good the damages to the tenant. The respondent, Captain WEMYSS, on the other hand, contended " that the object both of the statutory and common law of Scotland was to encourage the preservation and protection of game,Ar the benefit of the enjoyment (f the proprietors of the soil." rfhis defence had at all events the merit of candour ; it was an unblushing claim to rob the tenant of his capital. In February, 1846, at Cupar, the sheriff-substitute decided that the tenant had sustained damages to his crops from the depredations of game, and that Captain WEstvss was liable for these damages, in consequence of having protected and increased the game since the date of the leases; that the damages were 521. 10a, and that Captain WEMYSS was liable for the expenses. From that decision Captain WEMYSS appealed to the sheriff, who, in March, 1846, confirmed the decision. In so doing, the sheriff found, that when the lands were let to the tenant the game had not been "artificially increased or preserved," and was so limited in quantity as not to be the source of injury to the crops; that the game, and in particular the hares and pheasants, had since increased so as to cause serious injury to the crops ; and the increase had been caused by Captain Weraves having " adopted artificial means for the preservation and increase of game." The judgment then proceeds upon the ground that the leases contained no stipulations as to game, and that the parties must be held to have contracted on the faith that matters were to continue on the same footing as at the date of their contracts, and that the landlord was bound to indemnify the tenant for the loss sustained by game; and the par ticulars of injury specified in the sheriff's note are instructive—That The damage done to eight acres of hay on the farm of Muirton, amounting the said lastimentioned damages to 10/. 135.: Finds that the damages done to the crops on the lands of Blacketyside and others, belonging to the re. spondents, the trustees of the late Sir William Erskine, amount to 201. ss. sterling; and that the damages done to the crops on the remainiag lands belonging to Captain Wemysa, as an individual, amount to 351. 6i.; and ordains the said respondents respectively to pay the said sums re spectively to the petitioner: Finds the respondent' liable in expenses And the following note, appended to the repeat, shows how wholly inadequate to the actual loss am tained is the compensation obtained by the tenant after so mach of dispute and litigation. The 651. lls. of damages awarded are, for the reasons stated in the sheriff's interlocutor, little more than nominal in comparison with the lom actually sustained. The damages for the subsequent year's crop, 1845, were valued at different time, from the sowing to the reaping, by compeent persons, and are estimated above 3001, for which a separate Mime is in dependence. A plan of the Lundin and Atherney is. fates, belonging to the respondents, was produced in the process, by which it appeared that the various farms ex tended to 2,243 imperial acres, of which the respondent pos sessed about 420, besides Sunnybraes Links, for all which his rent averaged about 1,1001. The wood on the estate heisted at 107 acres, whereof about 80 adjoin or are intermixed with the petitioner's possessions. Nor did the litigation end here, for, it appears, that Captain WEMYSS appealed to the Court of Session, where, as our correspondent informs as, he has at this moment two suits about game depending between himself and his tenants. Such vexatious proceedings are not unfrequent in Scotland, which fully accounts for the feeling of the electors upon the subject of game. Nor, after reading the above case, can any one be surprised at the announcement made in the local papers, that " a liberal and anti-game-law candi date" will contest Capt.

This diplomatic document acquires importance, so far as it supplies the means of sneer. taming the part which the cabinet of the Tunisia, will take in the event of a collision ensuing betwcen the federal government of Switzerland and the local governments of those cantons which comprise the Sunderbead. The following is the note of M. Guist in rule/an:— _ . M. Le Comte,—The satiation of Switzerland is daily ts coming more serious. The ensuing diet may perhaps k induced to come to resolutions the consequences of wind will grieve the allies of Switzerland, and the friends of order and peace in that country.

Thy pretend doll we do not allow the diet the right of imposing the will alit majority upon a minority of the cantons, we attack the pis ciptes of the independence of a free people. To prowl* falsehood of this assertion, it suffice. to say, that Switzeded is note single state, hut an association of states, which, a granting to the diet certuin powers, conk& red neceseryir the common interest, have, however, reserved to thumbs essential rights of sovereignty in all things we kilning to their internal government.

Tit= alliei to Switzerland, in protesting against such art ing, are far from wishing to strike a blow at the indepeedwe of the states which compose the confederation. On them trary, they give proof of the respect they hear to its is, peadence and to treaties. These considerations, which emelt be perfectly founded in the case of the adoption of a reek tines regular in appearance, and accepted by the majority if the diet, would acquire additional strength were the amid independence to be attacked in the name of a minnrity,e by irregular and violent means. Thus the govecaue of the King acts both according to right and to aWs police, in endeavouring to prevent, by representstew as friendly as they are urgent, a struggle (which might pa fatal) between states to which they are equally desert and by the declaration that in case such a struggle doll break out they reserve to themselves the right of free ea, nation and judgment.
