Feats being entertained that homeward bound sa xes km the westward may run abort of prov:lnons, owing to the prevalence of easterly winds t f late, cep libation was /meetly made to the Admiralty 'equat ing ti.at, the usual &mistime might be reedited to such vessel,. This request has bees acceded to by the authorities, and her Majesty's ship Superb has already been ordered on this 'eerie', whilst the Hope bas been directed to proceed on the same duty from Cork. St. Petenabort advice. of the 6th state that the market fur tallow continued depressed, whilst It. Russian dealers wire my relnetant to sell at the reoedicg prices. About 3,000 casks had been disposed of, the foreign houses to return the tallow next year at a Cantinas of 4 ruble% Sales had been Weaned of first Y. C. at 106 to 107 It. ; first Kelowna at 110 R.; first and second mop at 102 to 107 R. Contract settlements were done at 103 R. First white candle was quoted n.minsl at 128 It. In hemp there was little doing, and the qtiotat'ons were without varia tion. FIJI bad given way a little in prise. Clean was quoted at 80 to 79 It. Oatabot at 75 It., and half clean at 73 U. There was every probability of a large quantity wintering as the season advanced Of linseed about 15,000 chetworts had b.en din peed of daring the last few days at 221 to 261 It., according to quality. The total stock on the apart was reduced to about 45 chetworts. Potashes were in small stock, and were quoted on the spot at 6511. For 10:h October, 800 casks Kasen hid been sold, at 82 It., and Stroh at 81 It. Lips had found buyers for 10 and nibs. at 60e. Bristles met a ready sale at 165 to 210 r. for Okalka, and at 102 to 11311. for first sort. Iron was quoted at 43011. The men market was altogether inactive. Freights had given way, and with the exception of Butted, little cargo was offering. The rates to London were quoted 3s. for 1 need ; 235. to 21s. for tallow; 40e. for hemp ; 48e. for deals. The exchanges were, on London, 371 to 7-18 ; on Perin 395 to 396; on Hamburgh, 34 3-16 to 1. Letters from England to the 25th September had been received. The arrivals at Cronstadt this year were 1,310 vessels, add the departures 1,103 vessels. From Rigs the advises are to the Bth inst. The market for flax was firm ; the price was kept up by the limited arrivals, though more abundant supplies were expected as the season advanced. The Lief latch:re, who are generally the first in the market, had nut yet made they appearance w.th their new flax, nor had the flax-growers from other districts,s.i that the supplies of new flax would bi later this year than usual, The weather had been wet, but erotic' net be injurious to the flax unless frost set in. The quality of this year's crop is favourably spoken of, and that which had already been brought to mark-t was flue, long, end strong. Business bad been dote in CM r.' 26 to 29r., according to quality. PDC at 23 r., DC at 22 r., end PRT et 18 r. ; and in Cedilla at 11 to 11}r. The demand for hemp wee limited, nevertheless the prices were maintained for cemmon Poli-h Rein at 90 to 92 r. ; Outshot, 87 to 88 r.; and Pass, at 85 to 86 r. The supplies of sow ing le.sted continued moderate, owing to the literati.' ot the season this year, and the result of the crop bad not yet been determined. The opinion prevailed that the ern? ot seeds in general would be short this year, but especially that of sowing seed, and until this im portant point was better ascertained, the Nahum in this article could not be said to have commenced. The total arrivals were limited to about one thousand barrels of new sowing seed, for whim the nigh price of 10r., or 375. f. n. b., was asked fur the finest quality. For the ordinary qualities, 7 and Br., equal to 275. 6d. and 31s. per barrel, f. o. b., would be accepted, but no transactiors had taken place, although the hoiden would not telex in their demand The crop of crashing seed was &handset, and the price will de peed entirely on the English and Dutch markets ; but purchase@ on speeolatioa bad been made in the growing districts at advanced rater. In grain not much sal doing, with the exception of bailey, in which several transactions had taken place for shipment to England at 503 r. for 106 107 (sNbe.), and Stir. for 110 111 Oats weighing 77 78 had been disposed of at 43 and 451 r. The new crop of grain was not of heavy weight, bat there was no indication of the pre sent prices giving way. The disease in the potatoes was very general, and in some places two-thirds of the crop were destreyed in consequence. The rates of freight to London snd Hull were 37e. 61. for flax, and 40.. for ditto third quality ; crushing seed, 3.. to 3r. 01. ; and peas, 4s. 3d. The number of vessels (geared inwards this year was 1,306, and 1,278 ves sels cleared outwartle. The exchange on London was 371 d. for three months. The position of the refineries of colonial sugar, as compered with that cf the refineries of red beet root sugar, two distinct and adverse interests at present in activ- operation within the circle of the Germsa Zollecreen, but more especially in the North of Prairie, is beginning to excite serious apprehensions on the part of the former; and from the excitement which appears already to prevail in those cstintries on Vie subject, will, no doubt, ensure for it the earnest coenderation of the Venetian government, since one of its principal sources of revenue is materially affected by the protection afforded to the native sugar, to t; e manifest prejudice, we might say, threaten ing altogether the entire extinction, of the colonial sugar . refineries. To understand this question in all its bearing it is necessary to point out that the principle adopted by the Zollverein, and by which they hoped to gain the adhesion of all the German stmt., was the emission of a tariff which would insure a considerable revenue to the state, and at the same time operate as a stimolus and protection to native industry. With this view five Prussian dollars im poet duty are levied on every 100 lbs. of raw colo nial sugar, and refined sager was for the first time altogether prohibited. It may be proper here to mention that nearly all, certainly the greater part, of the sugar consumed in Germany is refined, and cones quently,under the prutectioe thus afforded, the refineries of colonial sugar began to increase and to extend themselves, specially in the German ports of the Baltic. Te parties who embarked in these under takings had good reason for some time to be well satisfied with the result of their speculations. In the me. n time, however, another branch of industry, the cultivation of the ed beet-root for the parries of making sugar, began to make rapid strides in the interi'.r of the country, and under the fostering infia eace of the import duty on colonial sager, and the prohibition of refined auger, it continues to be successfully manufactured into raw and refined sugar; and being subject to an excise of only 221 silver grow:hen, or about 1-7th of the duty on raw colcniel sager, the production and manufacture of it has increased to an extent equal to the supply of one-third of the entire consumption of sugar in Petunia. The advocates of protection have now an opportunity of judging of the effects of their favourite system. Here are two protected branches of industry—the one protected against foreign com petition, and the second protected against the former. Ucder this system both hive been forced into an un natural development, and have at length attained that importance that one of them must of necessity give way, in order to enable the other to revive, unless the government steps in, and either by an increase of the duty on beetroot sugar, or a reduction in the import duty on raw colonial sugar, averts the annihilation of one of the tNO branches of industry, which otherwise would be inevitable. If the financial interests of Prairie bo :egarded, it is impossible to avoid taking some .teet of the kind, for it is well known that the colonial sugar duty fame a very im portant item of the revenue, and setting all other con siderations on one side the citation cannot be a matter of indifference to the Minister of Finings, whether the duty on 700,000 centners colonial ewe at five dollars, say 3,500,000 dollars, or only a sevsath part, say 700,000 dollars, being the amount of duty on the same quantity of btetsugar, are paid into the exchequer annually. The shipping interest too have also an important stake in the question, for if the trade in celestial sugar must be abandoned, in order to favour the production of beet-root, the annual frghtage of upwards of 40,000 tons of sugar, priteipelly - from transatlantic ports, which gives em plo3ment, say to 100 vessels of 200 tons each, would be altogether lust, and thus a severe brow would be inflict. d on, without coy correspondirg advantage to, the merchant nay . of Prumia—a consideration which no prudent statesmen would lose sight of, and . we limo no doubt it wi 1 have its influence in deckling the question at the wetting of the respective sugar refiners appointed to take place for that purpose this week, at Berlin, to which we adverted in our paper of the lath instant.

Quite a reaction took pipes at the crwasesseement of business in the share market this morning, and prices were all coesiderably higher, some liars quot ing as much as 41., 51., and even 61. per share shove the closing quotations of yesterday. This advance was attributed to the more favourable character of the traffic receipts doting the last week, and to the reaction which usually follows a fall in pries so extreme as that which occurred yesterday and the days previous. With the decline in Couple, however, the prices of shares rapidly receded, bat have again recovered to some extant, and at present nearly all descrip iODI mark considerably higher than yesterday.

THE question of capital pun'shment is again forcibly brought before the public by the cue of CHARLOTTE HARRIS, convicted during the last forezes of the Western Circuit, and condemned to death, but, owing to her pregnancy, respited until such time as she should be delivered of her child. A petition was lately brought up from Taunton to the Home Secre tary, who, however, granted no favourahle ear to its prayer, and this unfortunate woman is about to un dergo the pangs of childbirth, in order, during the weakness consequent upon it, to be transferred to the hands of the executioner. . . We have no need to expatiate on the horrors of such a system, or the hundred thousand deaths that this woman has been dom. d to die during her so journ in the condemned cell, and the revolting duty of making such a creature in such a state totter to the scaffold. That inch punishmPuts can continue to be inflicted we do not believe. The frame and temper of society will not bear it, even if juries can be found to condemn, and Home Secretaries to be blind to the horrors of the spectacle. Neither do we believe that it is possible in this cue to persevere. The cue of a woman not long since condemned under similar circumstances, and say. d by the general outcry of the public, is well known. Now, can the bar barous sacrifice be accomplished in the one case and desisted from in the other? Dues the Home-office obey a clamour, not a principle ? Is it not plan that in such cases punishment is aggravated an hundred fold ? Either the unfortunate creature is seceitive, and then her agonise must have been uLepeakable, or she is, what criminals with us too often are, stupid and unconscious. If to, whine is the justice, the use, the morality of her execution ? Women under such circumstances cannot be hanged. And yet, it will be said, is pregnancy to be always a protection ? And hive women but to take care to add one crime to another, in order to escape the penalty of the more heinous one ? We must say that the hanging of women at all appears to us superlatively disgusting, aid the hanging of women pregnant, or just recovering from preg nancy, impcssible in a civilized and christian country. Yet if women are to escape and men to remain subject to the infamous penalty, the sex which enjoys impu nity would no doubt always be selected and induced to perpetrate crime. There is especially the crime of pnteoning, that for which Cummorrs HARRIS was condemned. Tho fatal deed can be committed with out bloodshed, or without any of those efforts which require nerve, and which peculiarly shock the female nature. Women, too, always entrusted with the preparation of food, have peculiar facilities for such kind of revenge, of which they are, in consequence, much more often guilty than men. The use of poison is the criminal refuge of the weak against the strong, of the abused woman against the man that ill-treats her. Such eases, therefore, require attention and repression. But the only mcde of repression is to adopt a punishment to which society will lend its sympathies, and which may be equalised to both the sexes, and to persons in all circumstances and condi tions. This, we think, can only be answered by the abolition of the punishment of death, and the substi tution for it of a system of seclusion, which may be rendered equally deterring, and in re ality, we believe, more severe. But, whatever maT be the award of the legislature, when it can be got to give time to a question which is or a of humanity and justice, not of party, the duty of the Home Secretary is to supply the biches of par liament, and at least not allow public feeling to be outraged by sending • human being from the bed of childbirth to execution. We trust that Sir GEORGE GREY may be induced to reconsider his deciPion ; and we should recommend those alive to humanity throughout the country to remind the Home-office of that universal sentiment which prevails upon the horrid subject. TrtE proceedings of the Dean and Chapter of Roch ester against the Rev. ROBERT WIIISTON, Master of the Cathedral Grammar School in that city, are oertainly as offensive a piece of ecclesiastical tyranny as the pre sent century has seen. For reminding these reverend personages and pluralints of their sworn obligation, under their founder's statutes, to maintain twenty scholars in the Cathedral School and four students at the Universities, they first dismissed him from his office of schoolmaster; then revoked their instrument of dismissal ; and are tow calling on the resolute object of their persecution to answer before themselves charges in which they have already pronounced judgment against him. In this mode of proceeding there is a stupid confusion of all judicial propriety—an inva sion of the order in which ell legal Investigations in this country take place—a disregard of thecommonest principles of justice, such as vindictive malice only ventures on. Happily, however, its very outrageous ness ensures Mr. WHISTON against any ultimate damage from this display of Cepitalar spite ; for it is impossible to suppose that as a last resort the court of Queen's Bench will not correct the adjudication of so partial a tribunal as the Chapter of Rochester Ca thedral, which in its corporate capacity unites in this ease the inconsistent characters of prosecutor, judge, and jury. The Dean and the Canons of lent:nester may be able to tease and torment Mr. WINSTON a little, but the only persona who will ultimately suffer from these proceedings will, they may depend upon it, be themselves. _ _ _ That the statutes of Rochester Cathedral directed the maintenance of 20 scholarsat the Grammar School out of the capitular property, and of four students at the University, does not admit of a doubt. Liters acripta menet. The only question is, what may be meant by maintenance ? Ihe chapter contends that mainte nance in the nineteenth century signifies such a sum of money as would support *cholera and students in the sixteenth century. Mr. WinsToN more rationally 1 argues that maintenance in every century means a sufficiency of meat, drink,clothing, and nurture in that state of life to which it has pleased God to call the per son to be maintained. And for this difference of opinion (at last strongly expressed, no doubt, by Mr. WatsroN, bat only after moderate expressions and temperate argument had failed to enlighten these reverend men of Rochester) the Dean and Chapter are now at tempting to eject a most competent schoolmaster from an office, in which the whole city of Rochester, by resolutions passed in public meeting, seek, for their children's sake, to retain him. The statutes of Rochester Cathedral (A.D. 1542) assign to the dean 1001. a year, and to each canon 201. a year ; but, by the progress of wealth and the growth of property, the dean is now in receipt of 1,4261. a year, and, each of the canons of 6801. a year. The same statutes assign 61. a year till the degree of 8.A., and 61. 13s. 4d. a year atter the degree of M.A., to four students at the universities, and ordain that they are to be maintained out of the fends of the cathedral church ; they also assign 21. 13.. 4d. to each of twenty scholars, with the like direction. But the Dean and Chapter, for whom time has done so much in the way of augmented reve nues, won't allow time to do anything for their students or scholars. They pin them down to their original allowances, and increase their own in comes, by the rigid constructionof the statutes which they read en liberally when they affect themselves. Nay more; they endeavour to oppress the gen tleman who takes a more liberal view of their obligations than they do. Ins'ead of applying to others the principles which they apply to themselves, they harass, persecute, and try to crush a brother clergyman, in wham they have no fault to find, except that he has used strong lan guage against themselves. And yet it a; pears from the proceedings which took place in Chancery, eat they are conscious that they are not doing what is right: nor what they have been told by their own counsel they ought to do as regards these foundation I boys and students; for from these proceedings, we gather, that their own legal advisers have recom mended some larger allowances than the miserable stipends of 1542. Mr. WHISTON'S case is not a mere local question: it involves a matter of no little importance to the middle classes of England, for whom Sir ROBERT PEEL truly said at Tamworth that little had been done in the shape of educational provision; and from whom, be might safely have added, cathe dral dignitaries have taken much of the provision that has been made. For let Mr. WHISTON only succeed in compelling the Dean and Chapter of Rochester to maintain and educate 20 boys in that city, and what he achieves there must be done for the 50 at Canterbury, the 40 at Worcester, the 20 at Peterborough, the 24 at Ely, and the 18 at Durham, sho he has proved in his valuable pamphlet, " Cathedral Trusts and their Fulfilment," are entitled to be educated at the cost of the chapters of those cathedrals. It would have been more creditable to the Dean and Chapter of Rochester, and more advantageous to that church of which they are highly paid dignitaries, if, instead of holding five chapter meetings in a month t, dismiss an efficient schoolmaster, they had shown to the citizens of Rochester some practical results of the " suggestions" made to them by their own counsel as to fulfilling their educational obligation•. Pride and anger may dictate the resolution, not to comply with these suggestime till they have glt rid of a school master who has, in his zeal for education, offended ; but such a resolution inflicts a great injury, and an undeserved wrong on those who have given the Dean and Chapter no cause or ground of offence whatever. The Foundation students and scholars, at least, ought not to suffer. What have they done to be deprived of their maintenance at the adversities and et school? As, however, the Dean and Chapter of Rochester won't do their deity, we will do ours, and let the public know who and what they are. This capitular body consists of a Dean, five Canons, end three Minor Canons; end each of the first six members is, it is al most unnecessary to add, a pluralist ; while each of the remaining three is, of course, on very short com mons.

THE School of Design seems destined to be &perma nent incubus on the City of London. Twelve years have elapsed since its foundation, and though it may Lave effected some Food in developing the national taste, the direct object for which these schools were founded, that of nurturing able designer., so as to make us independent of continental ingenuity, has been completely frustrated. In despite of this experience, according to the re- port of the select committee now i.sued, not only the old system is to be carried on, but it is recommended to increase the annual parlia mentary grant of 10,0001. to 16,0001. The institution is avowedly formed on the Paris and Lyons models, and may or not be a fair copy. But the great mistake has been to take from these models the " Ecole Gratuite " alone, this establish ment being but a small particle of a vast scheme of art-education. France, by its schools and noble endowments for teaching design, and other branches of the arts, raises annually an immense and, indeed, over-abundant crop of able designers, in much greater numbers than the pursuit of legitimate art can employ or remunerate. Of these numbers, only the best or most ambitious, or the beet provided, aim at the higher walks of their profession. The others turn to industrial art, and bring to it the edu cation and acquirements of the genuine artist. But this is not the case in England, where students persist in aiming at the profession of the artist, and have no idea, much less experience, of those humbler walks into which the French designer descend.. Indeed, instead of the English industrial schools and walks being filled from the failures and overpowering. of the higher schools, the School of Design itself, in stead of educating designers of ornamental art, has been converted into a hot-bed for ambitious youths, who nee Somerset-house as a convenient stepping-stone to the Royal Academy. The flux of students to Trafal gar-square is notorious, and, it seems, from 13,000 to 16,000 students have sifted through the schools of design without any credit being gained by the latter. It is difficult to see how any change in the work ing of the system, or the granting more power and confidence to the professor, will mitigate this evil; it may sound very well to say that the masses of mechanics are gradually improving in taste, and that in time able designers will arise out of these schools ; the hope certainly accords with art history. Still it does seem monstrous that not oce man has been found educated in the schools of design capable of furnish ing a single pattern that could be worked. We must own we never expected anything else. Experience shows that the most beautiful pattern on paper will often be the reverse when worked out. This is reme died in France by the designer and the tnetteur en carte being one and the same ; when he sees his de sign set up, if anything goes wrong he is there to correct and retouch, to obviate failure, and save the market from being overstocked with an inferior article of design. Our students of the School of Design are far too proud and too ambitious to dream of such a thing as this. They scorn to follow their design into the mys tery of fabrication, although in reality this is the im portant point. When a jacquard machine and other necessary apparatus for the manufacture of silk were provided at the school, the attendance was so thin as not to warrant the expense of tuition. So that whilst the professors feel they are making way and educating students, they know they are doing so for a purpose quite different from that of the institution. Another difficulty of these schools of design has been to find masters of sufficient skill and ability to teach decorative art. Mr. HERBERT asserts that there are not in this country Ave persons competent to teach ornamental art. The natural inference is, that the pro vincial schools are under the mastery of incompetent people. This is but too evident from the disgust shown by the manufacturers, especially in Manches ter, to which a larger grant than usual was allowed for the purpose.

Mr. Wissertsu says : "The French lead the taste, and we follow. go to Paris three or four times a year for no otu e , purpose than to buy designs and see what theFre tto are doing. (Er. 1016,7.) Mr. COLE states (2%2): " The best of our meta ornamental desiges are A t giarisms from the French; as respects the Potte n ,,, , the beat of the pottery designs are imitations dills old Dresden and Sevrse designs. The greater pad ornamental glue is imported from France, nevelt e s the best patterns for paper hanging (2084). Au the best designs for calico printing are adaptations from the French ones." The true remedy for this is to ad o pt th e Frstea pattern of schools, in order to supersede the bo rrow . mg from their designs ; and in these schools to ( ei th English students not to be so tremendously ambit. our.

A l 4 our church, our bar, and our army, suffer fs,,, the foolish struggle to maintain the contrary ?i t . ciple. It is almost a relief to turn from the steno null;,, of this report to an article of the Edinburgh Reenr which sees everything couleur de rose. With tu ft it tells us, we are to overcome all difficulties ; se expect too much from its infancy. When mash, tuners complain of its not bring practical, they forte the French school only gives the clue to the stadm who hss to undergo another two years' tuition etc, a manufacturer before he is ccnsidered an ablest. sun.

The reviewer thus argues as to the possibilitT d removing this dtawhar..k to improvement: The pattern to which Mr. Wakefield here refers spew from eubseq•rent answers, to have been a shawl patters, es, probably exhibited a variety of the Inaisn seems to leave ccquirci a patent right to tpi, su under some disguise: or other, upon all diesels, past, pu t and to come. Another witness—Mr. Nortinole—tosa a some farther light upon this point. He is one of the a spectors of the nrovineial schools, and appears to bare be. struck, on visiting I'aisl•ey, by the perpetual reesneme d this fins pattern. On arkiner the reason, he is told tha t, getuine Indian ehawls always have the pine, sad thsreires the pine is &litho fashion; and that the macufacturen yea not think of sending out shawl, without it. bens.' t,117 would inevitably be rejected. (Er. p. 112) Pinaclig of the kind occurs in pnpier rnacor Roots. In these th peacock is supreme, betting., as Hr. H.pe iaturas us, tie precook is the distinguishing mark of Japan wire. Northeote observed, in &papier naarU factory at Birearp ham, that desians, in other respects gracefully elf nattel,wes spoiled by the introduction of the eternal peacock, often ss a mils so disproportionate as to the rest of the design u be ludicrous: What, however, does the prevalence of imitate: prove, bat that confidence and original genius is ran ing to the designer ? Let him descend from a bight school, and he will not condescend to copy limier peacocks. He will have something in him 'slid will force its way, and which, as soon as it &ea oil be remunerated, and will attract others into the Ease path. In fact, our School of Industrial At t ought n be part and parcel of larger and more geceral ins'uc. tions for the teaching of art—a large edifice, is fir: with no liking up or parking cif one branch of it from another, libelling one as gentlemaniy, the oche as vulgar. There should, on the contrary, beam. munications and facilities of ascent or &scent from one to the other, with the same atmrsphure of We pervading all. When this is accomplished, and tot till then, our manufacturers may lock to native attn for those patterns which they now are cotderated to steal or purchase from abroad. A ROME FOR ROSSUTII. Dear Lord Dudley Stuart,—My heart sicker, at these dreadful wholesale butcheries in Hungary. Never, surely, since the time of Alva have there been each cold-blooded massacres of prisoners of war; and he bad the plea of reprisals, but the Hungarian had in their power during the last year 20,u04) Ars trian prisoners, 200 of them officers, whom they treated with unexceptionable humanity. As sure u this globe shall endure far twenty years longer, as awful retribution will requite the authors of then atrocities at Vienna. If Kossuth and his companions be snatebed from the fatgs of these bloody monster, it is to the public meetings in England that they will owe their safety. But for those demonstrations of sympathy, the governments of England and Feats would not have made a stand against the inert demands of Russia and Austria with stack: promptitude to have insured the resistance of the Porte. You have the satisfaction of reflecting that it was greatly owing to your exertions that those de monstrations were made. Well may the Times rwl at " platform oratory !" Had it not been for the spirit of British liberty, speaking from the only inviolable sanctuary of freedom in Europe, the plc. forms of our public meetings:, and echoed by the purehaseable voices of the millions of our countrymen, the base and venal portions of the press of England would have prostrated us at the feet of Continents: despotism. But is there not something more to be done ? Kossuth has told us in that letter which has wring the hearts and moistened the eyes of its readers, nut he longs to " repose his weary bead for a while open the hospitable shores of England." When kings have fled to as for a refuge from their own sabjects our palaces (I do not refer to it grudgingly) have been offered to them for an asylum : and shall it be said of the patriot chief, who bears with his the blessi gs of his countrymen, and is himself the embodiment of their virtuous heroism, the, this generous land, no door stood open, no home was ' prepared, where, in congenial retirement, he cool find rest for his weary head? No: if the public spirit of Englishmen should falter, the domestic asap pathies of our countrywomen can never fail us. They will garnish the hearth and smooth the pillow for one who, in the hour of nature's sternest trial, with the Austrian gallows haunting his vision, with the insulting alternative of apoetacy or death before him, thought not of life, but poured forth his eloquence m behalf of " unhappy Hungary, his poor true-hearted wife, his children, and his noble old mother." Fall ing the men of England, to their wives, mothers, and children may appropriately be confided the privilege of preparing a home for Kossuth.—l remain, &c. Oct. 17. PII 1 LO-31 AGYAR. JOHN COLLETT, ESQ., AND THE GAME LAWS. LIBERATION OF THREE POACHERS FROM FISHERTON GAOL. Yesterday (says a correspondent) the parish of Fisherton Auger was somewhat elated, from the fact that Mr. Collett had just sent instructions to kis agent to liberate three poachers, and give them One law certificates. The following letter will beet speak for itself:— Lake House, Cheltenham, Oct. 15, 1849.—Sir, —By the copy of his conviction, 1 MI that the Wiltshire game hw preserving magistrates 2 5th September last, sentenced John Outteridge to be "imprisoned and kept to hard labour three calendar months for having unlawfully used two gins for the purpose of taking certain game (to wit, hares), he not Ming authorised so to do for want of a game certificate, centrsrl to the statute in such cue made and provided." The drfi. Mooney of " game certificate" being therefore, &scorning to law, Ike only error attributable to this poor man, I bare pre cured the enclosed (at the cost of 41. Os. 10d.) to bear him harmless till July 5, 1850. I also trouble you with 51.104 the amount required to purchase hie liberty and to relocate him from the thieves and criminals with whom of late be has been doomed to associate.—l have the honour to be, very faithfully yours, (signed) JOHN COLLETT. P. S. 1 land you also game c.rtificates for Joseph Whit e, and Aaron Candy, the parties last week prosecuted sad it by Lord Folk, stone, together with the !hello' funds to effect their liberation. The joy of these poor men on their liberation win only equalled by their gratitude to their benefact or, Mr. Collett. Gutteridge is a single young man, and bears a good character but for the stain (?) of elides. Touring to catch a rabbit—a temptation by the way very common to shepherds (like himself) who hays from sunrise to sunset to bask on the Wiltshire downs Aaron Candy, an industrious man, bee a wife and seven children, and consequently independent of he liberty, the parish is relieved from the atiort of eight persons ; and Joseph White decl ared et trial that he poached solely because he bad ne:ther money nor food, and had an idiot child wa ntin g bra.d. £1,637 £6BO 1,141 E6QO 100 920 961 i 04 10 104 11 13 iii icti • 7 1 1 to i Nil Ve 8 i 101 21 i 17 1 16 17f 17 11i
