THE GAME LAWS. Th. war !Oust the game laws is b. ing carried on with spirit in Salisbury and its . vicinity. A " rowel s ppporting club has been es•ahltshed in Fnherton, a grahurb of Salisbury. TLere is an entrance fee of je. 6d., and a weekly subscription of Is.; donations are also rem ived from friends at a distance. The pre coeds an allotted, in the first umlaute, to the support of the families of those who have been prosecuted wader the game laws while they ars in prison. A wanly audit is taken, and the bakeries for a. . at b, if any, is appropriated to the pirchtse of game certificates, all tied as the rides direr. The soc iety has also a weekly period cal, the Milts/sire Oases Low Reporter, a very readable publication. Efforts are making to establish similar clubs in different localities. A missionary visit was paid in fur tterace of this object to Fovea% on Monday the sth inst. The village had the appea•anee of a fair on the omegas. The secretary of the Fisarton Club ad dressed a meeting of labourers and others, and was warmly received. Three cheers were given for Mr. Collett, of Cheltenham, for his benevolence in libe rating molly poor fellows imprisoned and r the game laws, and for the large number of game certificates he bid purchased and bestowed gratuitously. The speech of tie secretary on this ceeasion, which we ex tract films the filth number of the Itriltshire Game Law Reporter, will give a better idea of the objects of the club and its mariner of going to work than any cep not we weld give of them : The Secretary said the object of the meeting was not to 'nemesis them in pose! ie g—nor to bled them to a dig basest mums of life, but to guard them spinat an evil hour, when they may bus no work—no money—cot od nor SKIM of support—srhen the board of generale,' may lavr refused them any relief—whea their wires w re sulle• end discootented (for they beer the old adage that Wile,. poverty comes in at are dour love flies out at the window ) —end when their child,. n may be crying for bread—at web • time se this, if they may hi compelled to kh an unnecemery law of man, and foe it seat to prison—rr. the Rural Supporting Clab would secretly support their elves and families, while they would at the same time be emerged to ask r potash relief. The nieces of the members wallet not be known to any one, ae it would not be policy; every member would he num bered, rid his mmo6lloooB would be acknowledgeo! not by Lame, but by cumber. The weekly centributioa was one shialipg ; so that, if there wets 100 members, that would be 201. per weekly month. The rate of sum rt would be the same as the wages tamed by the convected party, or the amount given in such parish where they lived. Ihippoenig there was Lo proeecation the month airdrop, then the 201. would be ezpeaded in same certificates Now, every member curia not be supplied at once with bowels, and therefore as essay game eerlificates as wield be pre chased, so many tickets bearing their numbers would, at the monthly meeting, be drawn from • beg by some didaterested party, sad wbuseever's number was draws would be entitled to the game certificate, and se from time to time. The imanthly mostrage would be held alternately ia the DINIIMIN village or town where there were mast lambent resident. The subscriptions of gentlemen eg g farsene would be applied to two purposes, first to provide bgal wistesee at the trials of the 'ceased, and then of any rem lied to pay the Ines and expenses foliated on them No doubt am a fumes would give hie mite " under the rout," be they dare not speak oat.

They knew, too, they dared not to destroy the pore, for bar of a lumber being concealed near their feet, or prowlir g about the thicket like a beast of prey, bahisd them. It war pretty certain there was no clergyman present—the duty of dentition was to eahort mea to keep the Commaadments of OA. cad ere of the commandments says, " Thou shalt do so murder."

Forest scud tell its areensfal tale of poaching in the night. Now, If any member went out poaching la the night time, he would not get any sue. port from this t iu aor if he violated the Sabbath. Having made these menons, be would ask, who could say aught to Its f o rmation ? The first saactment of the game laws woe Is the third century, when they wen Introduced into lamps at the same time, and by the game policy, se gave birth to the feudal system. When the leading of the northern masers of Rumps d It caste to settle the mummy of a van quished country, anwas done by a wet of chicasery to deprive the people of their fire arms—but now they were enacted end enforced for the pleasures and luxuries of the rich. After some other obeervations, the Seuretery then de. sired them to go home quietly—to get work and keep to ; but yet to be prepared against evil consequences that may sane. There is en amusing audacity about these proceed imp, considering they are carried on in that hotbed of high game preserving, the vicinity of Fordingbridge and ltingwood. Toe system, if extended throughout • the rural districts and vigorously acted span, is more likely to reeks the eqoirearehy sick of the game laws and game law prarecutirns than any plan that has yet been claimed.

The LORD BISHOP or the diocese was present, and entered st 6001.0 length into the particulars ou the scheme, wbiel,, be said, would have been brought forward at sa emlii r period bat how unavoidable circumatsn Te, which it is unnecessary sow to eater into. He said that the sum ri quitted to build and maintain the school would be 6,0004., and annual subscriptions to the esteem of 6001. He war pleated to state that 4,30 W. had already be n promisee, t mother with annual subseriptioos to the extent of 2401 (Chain.) Speaking of the Cheltenham training a hoof, anti o f 'be opposition which had been offered to Ur. Close at the Bristol emotion, his lordship said, " I now come to mention an untoward occurrence, which I feel myself bound to rxplsio. Just beton I did that which I bed been desired to do by the dim. sun board—r stately, to maks an appeal to my diocese fur the support of this atheme—there was a meeting held in this plat , for the purpose ct encourag ing a sanity of similar objects, but somewhat different to the preunt one ; that society is now founded in the town of Cheltenham. Tull' led ti a collision of opinion amongst some of our brethren. I mention this fact, accompan)ing it with a mensal*: request, as a personal faviur to myself, that the sport-re at the proem meetno will forbear to mention car even allude to that occurrence. (Hear, hear) I am fully and pertectly satisfied, as I can oe o' any fact in the world, that what then took plate proceeded from shis,pprehension— (hcar)—that the person who took *antral on that toc anon, as wet as those by whom hewn support. d, had ao teeliog al hostility to the present invitation; but, en the contra?, most of them have, I believe, shown their wish to promote it by their subscriptions, and many of them by their pre sence in this assembly. (Hear hear ) There was singu larly enough, still it was an sec;ed ited fact, going to be intro duced the present diocesan Van, of which they were not aware. Owing to the delay there certainly was as opinion prevalent that the present plan had been abandoned sr in advertently pcatponed, sod they were not aware that it was almost immediately to be brought on the tapir. 111 were to soy one word tither ,in condemnation or commendation of anything s id or done at that time, it is phis I should forfeit all right or claim to your forhearance or indulgence. Valor ' tanatele, ma everything is unfortunate that sets parties at variance who are labouring together in the same good cause ; such was the fact, that there was a difference of opinion; hut it must now be son* Wad as a thing gone by, and I ant per . saaded that in results it will no: be found that there was any Canine or any impuldnint thrown in the was of the scheme which we have now met to promote." Alluding to the insinuations which had been thrown out, that these schools were of a party character, his lordship observed, " It becomes me to ray, decidedly and unequivAally, that as for as 1 am concerned, and as far as my power or ihfisence can extend, there will be no s rt of a party character in the train ing establishment ; the pupils will be trained in the pried. pies of our apostolical religion. (Applause) If anybody apprehends that there is to be the least semblance of a party kind—l knew not what other name to give it, and I certainly will not give it a nano that an be offensive to any one—l assure them that as far as I know, ao such intention exists in the mind of any person who as supported it, or who moans to support it ; on the contrary, the establishment will be strictly of a Cnurch of Ragland character (applause), with ' all the principles of our Apostolic and Mom Protestant church —(rthewedapplause)—weparate from the abuses of popery. sad ham the errors of schism. (Continued applause.) 1 do ant think that the most zealous person not it apprehend that *au Is the slightest bearing to party purposes of one kind or the other." The Bev. Canon BARROW, in the course of the proceed ings, commented on the conduct cf the Privy Council on tha subject of education. He thought the question be tween the National S **sty and the Privy Council was in ' a mast unsatisfactory state. He thought it was impossible accurately to kaow what the Privy Council int nded to do • and ha feared, from what the governm ent had done with ' reference to religious niatters,—with regard to the Poet-office, and also with regard to the coinage, they had reason to suspect them of an intention to cleat. a scheme of education is this country which would be both infidel and irreligious. (Rear, hear.) The government of this eountry would find, or be was much mistakes, that the education of the Veils could not be carried on without the shank—that church which comprehended the majority of the population of this country—that church which costa bated by far the greatest amount of taxation—that church which bad the gees cat right to claim the largest amount of government aid. None of the management clauses could be considered sa , isfactory by the church; but with their oars 1 institution they would not interfere. The church in this I Moons would receive the aid of government as a right, and sot as a boon. He believed that the best way of defeating the intentions of the enemies of the church would be to hated training institutions, wherein the Queen's scholars, they came out from' their appeared/reship in church schools, might run* their education in the thurek's prin ciple', and not be forced into institutions founded upon the principles of instruction encouraged by the committee of privy mune*, to which principles they were altogether ep. posed. (Applause.) The Loan Bailor again roes and said—l have a few words to say relating to that important subject which has been alluded to by Canon Barrow. I am very desirous indeed that this day should oat off without any difference of opinion, and without anything occurring that would be effen'im to any party. But mentioned as the subject has been, I will not disguise at all the fact, that I entertain strong feelio p of palm, disappointment, and d issatisfaction, as **on ply as anybody possibly can, at the prociedioss et the Com ' =lam of Privy Council relative to the gustation of education. (" Rear," and applause.) I cannot reconcile them with my notices of plain an t span dealing, such as becomes mach a body. (.. Hear," and load applause.) I should am have used these terms, or have felt in thir way, had they once and in the lest Maumee canditUy declared what they wets about; but I felt I huge, loitered I may may, whoa I was led by their first pro , delikeas to recommend strongly to my diocese the adoition 'd *sir *Mem*, and finding almost immediately sin r *ads pertain points put forward in the shape of mausole ums* abases as affecting the Church of England. I find the Chunk of England treated not upon a proper equality ; we are treated, in fact, as if we were dissenters, sad the dinenters us if they were tine ratalhishasent. (Hear, bear.) I by no means entertain those apprehensions of bed oweeeinesose which some people do, because I think pa esi V:es of oar friends is now aroused. I know that t is under the control of public opinion, and I that Englishmen are fond of fair and open dealing. ( 6 * Bear, hoar," sad applause.) No government, let it be what it airy, would he supported is violation of good faith adl still do not give up my hopes that the individes l members of government wilt me that they are adopting a NOM which they eau sever defend. It isimpossible they can satisfy the pablie that they are making impossi • stand apes ground which is defensible. (App mem.) They limy to the church a liberty enjoyed by every society whisk was ever ooestitutad. (Bear, hear.) Everything dim can be said about the sonisaitise of privy maned, stay tends to make it the morn necessary for as to deter mine upon the maintonsnos of establishments of this kind, le order to secure our pupils being well and properly trained in the principles at the church. (Applare.) The worst thing we an ever apprehend is a total separation between the church and the state. This is an extreme ease; suppoai og that should be the case, bow necessity it is that the church should be prepared with her ismitntioss. (Applause.) If the apprehensions are well founded, and the government wishes to make our education like what it km been in Preiace--the fruits of which we have tamely sass-(hear, hear)—it Is the more necessary for all parties to join most medially in the maintenance of our amyl in stitutions. (Hear, hoar.) We must show a bold *waver iag Goat against all insovations. Let SI do our duty, and rit a mon ke the same kind Providence which has so wonder ful maintained the church. (Loud applause.) having bees voted to the Lore Bishop, the pro* "-es were terminated with prayers.

On Weds sday reining a pablie meeting was held at the Manchester Atheneum, attended chiefly by the operative clue, at which an exposition of the oh) ear of the scheme was given by several gentlemen connected with it. ABRAHAM WATEIX, E q oecupi, d the chair, and the meeting was a dressed by Mr. F. 11.pinevee, secretary to the asseciation ; Mr. 8 Lung, its chairman ; Mr. W. P. Roberts, solicitor ; and other gentlemen. Mr. ESPINASSI referred to the opposieiott which had been cast against the association by the clergy of the church of B..gised, and the difficulties which tiecesearCy opposed themselves to men of constructive principle. in an age of de. moll ion Ikt the present. He referred to a meeting last spring In the Manchester Town-hall, at which a melt vehe ment opposition was display. d by the clergy. It was said they could not *toned Messes the Church of England was evilest them; but he believed that their *theme was a good one, and would ousted in mite of the r.pp sition of the church ; and, further, h. believed that the Church of Ent. l.nd and the clergymen of Lancashire were two very different things. Mr. SAMUEL Lucas next addremeil the meeting on the relation of ignorance and crime, observing that. an a peen aiary matter alone, it would be advantageous for the people to be educated. He referred to some statistics ht the Law Maga sine, is which the writer acempted toshow thatscenlar eou cuion was of no benefit in checking crime, because in relative years the nuenberof criminate who could read and write ironer featly had increased. He (Mr Lucas) believed this to be a lallscious assumption, since reading end writing imperfectly was nothing whatever; and, besides, the inerease in the oumlorr:of persons who could read and write imperfectly, was partly to be accounted for by the tact, that many of these prisoners bad received a radios utal edu cation is the prison, and had afterwards been re convicted, thus swelling the numbers of those who wore only partially instructed. Glancing at the com parative bandits of Sunday schools, he contended that the secular *dustiest given in the Sunday schools was of a very inferior character, and that the education generally there re. es level was not sufficient to produce that amount of good which *mild be effected by a good secular education. He rlw quoted from various published authorities in support of his argument. With regard to the operation of the secular system in Anterica,he read extracts from letters which he had received from Mr. Horace Mann, secretary to the Beard of Education in Maseachuseta, and from Mr. H. Barnard, to cce tary t the Board of Education in Connecticut, proving satis factorily that the most beneficial effects had been produced, and that the people themselves appreciated in the highest degree this system of education. Mr. W. P. Ronsars afterwards addressed the meeting in a speech of considerable humour and power, detailing the plan of the meociation, sad commenting in a striking man ner on its leatares as he proceeded to delineate them . The usual votes of thanks were given, and the meeting then terminated. THE ORDNANCE SURVEY OF THE UNITED KINODOII. [From the Seereowan.) The whole of England and Wales, with the exception of the six northers counties, has been surveyed, and the maps published, on a seals of one inch to a mile. This scale, however, was found to be too limited and defective to be of value for kcal engineering purposes and for the improve ment of the coantey generally ; and the remainder of the survey was accordingly ordered to be finished on a scale of six beck's to a mile as regards the country ; but, as regards towns, they were to be laid down upon a seals of five feet to a mile in all cases where the number of inhabitants amounted to four thousvnd. The six aorthera counties of England, namely, Lancubire, Yorkshire, Northumberland, Dur ham, Cumberland. and Westmoreland, have all fallen to be surveyed on this larger seals ; and already the whole of Lanes-hire, and five-eighths of Yorkshire have been completed. The ex pense of the one-inch seals as compared with the siz inch scale, is represented to be as one to four. It will consequently take tour times as long to execute the survey with the grant continued at the rate it now is of 60,0001. • year ; the delay er acceleration of work being altogether • question of money. The y was still further improved by the introduction of tont or lines, showing the relative altitude of every por tion of the surface of the country ; so that • scientifio persist, mending to the testimony of Captain Yolland, might Icy mat drains without being et the trouble or expense of an entetal y. In town', contour altitudes will be of gnat value in insoliug sanitary improvements to be carried oat. Then altitudes are shown along the centre of the streets, and by cutting what are called" bench marks" on buildings a foot or two from the news' of the ground. These " bench make" will enable a civil encineer, who intends to lay out' a drain from one point to another, to get at ones the relative latitude between the two points ; and thus, with certainty, determine the gradient of the drain or sewer which be pure poses to make. Snob a survey, it is stated, will be quit* ems - for all sewerage purposes. The .outtern portion of Reeved, which has been surveyed see /ding to the smaller seals of one inch to a mile, and wishes% the benefit of ecotone lines, will, it is thought, have te be all done over again, with the exception of the primary teleocultritm ; , for the great purposes of town sewerage Mg lin as, it is declared to be of no use whatever. La the earvey of these southern counties oast about 400,0001, all this messy will consequently have been expended un beely ; and the only excuse that can be offered for it iv, that the purposes of drainage and sewerage are entirely sow. end wen not foreseen at the time that the survey was sadigtaken." To give the whole of England the benefit whisk the six northern counties will omens, will require, it is sideslated, a sum of not lees than 1,600,0001. Then, if we WOW* account that a further sum of 235,0001. will be messemey to finish the survey now going on of them sic modem ormuties, and if we add the 702,0001. which has been expended from the commencement in 1791 up to the pentratt time, we will have, as the total expenditure reqeiaite In make the survey of lineland uniform and complete, surveyed, lf, however, the southern counties ars not re the 'speediest* will only bs about a million. Tb aa yof Ireland is more advanced than that of England; indeed, it may be said to have been finished, sa l ail that remains to be done is the revision of some of the anthers counties which bad been surveyed, drawee, and en graved, by " toe:islands" instead of by " fields"—• plan which was abandoned, after having bean found to be luso& dent for the purposes of valuation. No estimate has been suede of the amount that will be necessary to finish this nobles, but Colonel Hell states that it will probably @semi to 85,0001. or 90,0001., and that at present a sum of !MK a• ear is appropriated towards that purpose. The survey is aU executed on the enlarged scale, bat only a sea & portion of it has been done with contour lie, chewing the physical relief or configuration of the (sunny. To gm 1 the whole of that country the benefit of this modern int. provement in surveying, will take, it is calculated, 120,0001; and Captain Yolland states that, up to the present time, the e xpenditure on this account her been only about 6,0001. The survey of Ireland will, therefore, when completed in the way it is now intended to be done, have cost • sem of not less than a milieu of money ; while the original estimate was only 300,0001. We now come to the details, brought . out in evidence, re garding the survey in Scotland ; and the fiat point we have to notice is Col. Hall's distinct declaration, twice repeated, in answer to questions from Sir James Graham. that the whole of Seodand will enjoy the benefit of the improved large scale." This annonceement is meet satisfactory; end will put an end to the feast, expremed, some time sines, at the meetings of various public bodies throughout the country, that it was the intention of the authorities is the Ordnance department to reduce the male for Scotland to throe inches to smile.

DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS AT STANI- - _ The Lincoln Mercury of to-day sass " The Mar quis , I Exe er pursues a MOM peteutiarli his own to obtain notoriety, and he rarely tails to or et with a certain amount of success. It it kn ma that the m o rquis h.s set sip a claim, which has been over soil over sown uieputed, to a right of toll for passing over Stamford-bridge ; to enforce this claim upon the cattle-de alert and drovers who attended St. Simon ant St J tide fair on Friday last, aging of about twenty me n were employed ; time persons were armed with thick sucks, aou p laced in a row across the bridge, to prevent the passage of any heists the owners of welch should refnew to pay toll. Berl in the morning the right of free passage was claim. d and dikitemd. and very sp. edit) acts of voileece com menced. Whenever a drover attempted to ur a e his beasts h tweed, Lord Exeter's men made tree upset their bludge. no, striking with all their force the Nur animals over their beads, and injuring them very materially. A report of what was going on been g beau circulated, the dr .y,re soon obtain. d assistance from the townapeople,and during the whole of the morning a continuous soothe of strife amongst the men and cruelty to the cattle was carried on. Alter the first or second onslaught, the appetite of Lord Enter'. ruffians seemed whetted will a desire to be as severe on the animals as pJasible ; but the more tb y used their bludgeons, the more dettenticed were the people to get the animile over without payment of toll ; and the eons. queuee was that, with the urging from behind, and the re Latices in front, the bears had to endure the mist terrible inflictions. One drove was on eke bridge for nearly half an hour, and two of the beasts w. re ft lieu and nearly disabled : an ox belonging to another drove was so much injured as to render it metal .ry teat it should be killed ; a cow bad one of its eyes kerek tut, an other had a thigh bone broken, and others had ther bores knocked oft : indeed, the damage done to the cattle in various wk s was so serious as to alarm some of the grasitrs, and to ioduce others to say they would never again attend a ter at Stamford. The toll-house keeper was frequently racoon. etrattd with for what was o cursing, and so strong was the excitement that two of Lord Exeter's men were nearly thrown over the bridge. The affair caused a painful feeling through -1 oat the town: those who know the importance of keeping up the fairs, remitted the outrage both ou account of the well doing of the town and the great cruelty to the auitnals : and the female part of the inhabitants were earnest in their en etamations against the revival of a spirit worse than that which marked the bull-running era. Never before, we be- I dove, was the nameef L ird B contemptuously *pott n of by persons who have no ordinary connection with the town: the attendance of buyers and sellers of stock was exceedingly !arse, and there was scarcely a man amongst them who did not give loud utterance to feelings of disgust at the illegal course pursued to enforce a disputed claim; agitatedly, if his lordship had appeared on the bridge, his WM:Mt safety would have been greatly endangtred, fur when an attempt was made to "bridge" one tat the hired Tatiana, the observation was general, " It is a pity you can. not ' bridge' (i. e. throw over the bridge) his muter." Some of the cruelties were undoubtedly caused by the over-zealous conduct of a number of boys and young men, who, to get the beasts across the bridge more speedily, and with less chance of benne beaten about the head, beture arriving at the I edit et n k hem on the hindquarters to urge them for ward; out nothing can palliate the act of employing twenty ruffians to obstruct a public highway, and to outrage public decency by perpetrating the atrocities watch were committed on Friday last. Fur six hours the sickening exhibition of belaboring cattle w.a carried on. Between 12 and 1 o'clock, the borough magistrates and the new mayor had a conference, the result of which was that some policemen were sent to give notice to the Marquis of Beea is men that if they attempted any farther obstruction, they would be takeu into custody ; one of them was, in fact, conveyed before their worships, and as he submissively pleaded that his poverty and not his will led him to be en gaged in so unpopular a service, and that he bad accepted the employment because he supposed those who engaged him knew the law, he was leniently treated by the magistrates, and told to rotors to his fellow labourers wi.h the information that they were breaking the law—that it was not permitted to any one by violt-uce to e atone a right, real or pretended—cord that the obstructing of the highway by stopping cattle upon ir, and thus end .ngering the public safety, was an offence for whieh all who persisted in it would be apprehended and put liked. The man accordingly returned to his colleagues, and from that ime the w hole body of Lord Exeter's bludgeon men dropped their weapons, and the remainder of the stock from the his passed over the bridge without paying toll, and without any demand being made for it. The amount of money collected dating the day was very trifling, ae all partite refused pay ment , except such as occupy under or have dealings with Lord Easter. But even the animals of those who paid the toll were not exempt from attack A curious incident connected with the matter is that Lord Exeter himself had a beast very seriously Jejuna. Mr. Sharp, the bailiff, sent over the bridge some animals he had pur &amid in the fair : on Si. Mary's-hill a few boys began to drive them, and the hired blackguards upon the bridge, not knowing to whom the animals belonged, opposed their pas sage, and used their sticks upon them as they had done upon other people's. At the various toes the affair was the sub ject of very bitter remarks, and many of the dealers reiterated a declaration never again to attend a fair at Stamford it the same wine of what they called extortion and brutality was likely to be repeated : the subject likewise led to commenta ries on the transaction by which the railway station was fixed on the St. Martin's side of the town, instead of on the north ern s de of the bridge, as originally surveyed—Lord Exeter,by that arrangemeat, getting the enormous sum of 36,0001, fur a very smell quantity of land, and 6,000 k to rebuild the bridge, and yet, in the fats of the fine pickings out of the un fortunate shareeolden (who are now suffering from the ex travagant prises paid to landowners), attempting to create • new source of income by claiming tolls under an alleged ancient right. It is satisfactory to learn that the affair will not end with the proceedings of Friday; we hear that one or two of the parties who bad beasts injured have had ri mers* to law against the toll-collector, who of course will have to fall back upon Ma employer."

She then sent witness to the markte to ask her (de ceased's) father to remain at the standing until she CJInAI down, as she had some particular business to attend to whisk must be settled by eleven o'clock, or it would ruin her for ever. On the girl leaving, dentinal gave her a key, ssyirg, " Take this, as I shall b • gong oat.' The girl thought it was the key of the door, and she returned with it in a gut ter of an hour, and tried to open the lock, but the key was to,, large. She knocked twine, and heard deceits d call nut her name. She then looked through the keyhole, and saw a shadow on the kitchen fl sot. She called to her =stress, end saw her feet between the stairs and the frort d -or. She (deceased) was walking ba k arde and forwards in and out of the kitchen. Another female came up, end peeping through, saw her standing at the kitchen door, flapping her arms at her aides, and she then observed blood upon her clothing. The women ran I. the market fur her father, and he got in by the parlour window, the house being otnerwise secured back and tient. She was then found will her throat cut, and quite dead. A bloody razor was found neer her. The girl had observed her for two or three months to be much agi tated, and in et ry low spirits, and could not emir her. Geo. Taylor, whose step-daughter she was, end who molded in Chester, said he had seen her on Friday night and Saturday morning, when the appeared to be dejected. On his asking her what was the matter, she replies, " Nothiorr." He did not know or think that she was at all in difficulti. a. Several other parties had also observed her to be low spirited, and not like herself in transacting business. Her br“ther, Geo. Taylor, who bad been her partner for two or three years, had also observed her to be in a melancholy way on Friday, but hod not noticed it before.—The jury returned a verdict to the egret—" that she had destroyed herself during a temporary fit of insanity." BILLETING OF SOLDIERS.—On Saturday an eppli cation was made to Mr. Rushton, at the Liverpool police curt, by Mr. Bremner, solicitor, r..latire to the billeting of soldiers on publican,. Oa Friday Mr. W. Liver* dge, pub lican, Burlington street, was swam ned before the magis trates for refusing, on the pnviout Sunday morning, to take in a soldier who had just arrived from Ireland, and had a billet upon him. He said he could not admit him at such an hour, and was not prepared to And him accomm•daVons. Mr. Rushton had no option and fined the publican the lowest penalty, 405., and 4 1 . c ats, hut he agreed to hear tho caw again on Saturday. Mr. Bremner said that Mr. Livers edge told the soldier he had only sufficient room in the house for his own family, and could not conveniently receive him at that mentionable h'ur. Mr. Redden maid that though there appeared to be some hardship in the case, he had no discretion under the set, but (as suggested) he had no objection to the cue being represented to the Secretary of War. Mr. Bremner admitted the nature of the set of parliament as stated; but the matter affected the licensed victuallers as a body. The question was whether they were compelled to admit soldier after 12 at night, or rather oa Sunday morning at unreason able hones. Knowing the stringent regulations znainst pub• Inane opening their houses at all on Sunday morning, his client considered himself justified in refusing, and he could net at that hour go out and get aecounnodati ebewher• for the applicant. Ile wished the case to be laid before the Secretary at War. Ho said that he also appeared in be half of all the licensed victuallers in this matter, and he pointed out the large sums they had to pay for the privi lege of carrying oa their trade, and their liability to heavy penalties for any reset by themselves or servants. He thought that in a eau like the present the captain of the Teo eel should be required to keep the soldier on beard until a /*amenable hour in the awning. Finally, it was trader stood that the question will be taken up by the Licensed Victuallers' Association, and a memorgil presented to the pruner authorities in the army departmlit. THE MITCHELDETIE FARM LABOURERS.—The pro tectionists have tried to make the world believe that the labourer Is the special object of the farmers' care. The in tense solicitude of the farmer for the labourer's well-doing has been paraded up and down from one end of the table to the other at their after•dinner gatherings. At all times" the laborer" was at hand, and used to do the pathetic at the le hennas of the canting farm of " Agricultural Dianna." But if we go behind the scenes what do we find ? Why the very class the most clamorous in public against the application of the doctrines of free-trade adopting them, and carrying them out in the article of labour, and in the omen , and families of the very labourers for whom they e:- presto such unbounded affection in their speeches before the public. In illustration of this fact, we may state that in the' perish of Mitcheldever a regular combinatioa of the fumers• bad been entered into to reduce their labourers' pay from eight shillings to seven shillings per week. We alluded M• this fact last week, but we were not thee folly aware of the special designs the farmers had in view. It appears now that the men wen to be made the y t's•paws of the farmers to act upon the fears or sympa th of Sir Fermis Barng, their landlord, and thereby to get a reduction of rent. TO effect this selfish object, they resorted to means which- we can only call unworthy and despicable. They knew that it was nukes to in to get rents reduced in a. fair, straigjildoe ward, business-like way, became there wage plenty cf men to be found reedy to take their placer as his Wants, therefore the peace of the vilbp and of the community at large was risked, and then labourers tempted to semen acts of desperation by a general and smtematio reduction, of their wages, under the plea that their yenta were too. high for the peasant prices of produee; the mea resisted, the attempted redut.m.te 7e. a week„ and left their work, saying they mold bat just keep body and to together with Be., and that it was melees M attempt it with 7e.
