On the 12th of the present mirnth the pursuit (and who shall say it is not an ardent one?) of the grouse commences; consequently. the fowling•piece. which, fir awhile, had quietly reposed in the gen-cupboard, or rested in locked fetters over the chimneypiece of the sportsman's :endues, will be again put in requisition ; and again will the staunch pointer try the mountain, or quarter the heather. _ _ Our readers however, must understand that it is the pursuit of the red end +white grouse alone that com mences so early as the 12th, and not till eight days later, Gamely, on the 20th, mast we attempt bagging - the more noble of the species, Mack rime. We call these latter the more noble, since they are by far larger sod much more beautiful birds • still the pursuit of the former affords infinitely the best diversion. At the beginning of the season, black game lie like stones, but, in a very short time, they become so wild as to be al most inapproachable, unless, indeed, by such strata gems to which good sportsmen rarely, if ever, are fond of resorting. However. ender any circumstances the red grouse is by much the more interesting object of our pursuit. As to the white grouse, or ptarmigan, we are not aware that these birds are to be found in any part of Great Britain, except the Highlands of Scotland,where, on the gray tops of many of the high mountains, they slay be met with. They resemble in colour the almo Alpine heights they inhabit, which renders it difficult to see OWN except on the wing, and which, probably, affords them the best protection agsinst their fierce pur suers, the eagles, that are generally s•en hovering over the wild spots the white grouse inhahit. Should any of our readers be disposed to pursue the ptarmigan, we .woold advise them . to visit the neighbourhood of the beautiful Loch Lgiven,f• where, on the summits of some of the susroundieg mountains, they may obtain diver sion, we had almost said amongst the clouds. Perse verance and courage, however, are as requisite as dog and gun in this attempt, for they will find the climbing these lofty and tremendous protuberances of nature very laborious, and to them apparently dangerous, exercise, and will most likely be surprised at the comparative ease end celerity with which the Highland guides as cend them, and who, we need hardly observe, are indif. as psable., On each side of the ferry at L och Leven there is what is called in the Highlands an Inn; in that situated on the north side of the loch. or lake, we two years ago, took up our abode for a short pei iod, and found the accommodation, not exactly equal to the London Tavern bat very comfortable indeed for a Highland Hotel . The landlord was remarkably civil and attentive, and. seeing we were equipped for shoot ing. offered his two sons as our guides, and, indeed, spared no pains toreador oar stay with hint as pleasant as possible. In the immense mountigns of this neigh bourhood, p tarm i gans are plentiful ; the little red • grease, or black game, is to be Diet with; but if the directs his steps through the awful pass of at c ts t : i r and proceeds to the Moor of Rannoch. he will be able to procure plenty of diversion with red grouse; and. in the neighbourhood of Inveronan, a little south of the Moor of Rannoch, he will find abundance of black game.

PROM 11111111Midtal OP A PAM= itoJtANT. " After all our top men had been killed, two sailors and four soldiers (of whom I was one) were ordered to occupy their posts in the tops. While we were going aloft, the balls and grape showered around us, struck the masts and yerds, knocked large splinten from them, and cot the rigging in pieces. One of my companions was wounded beside me, and fell from a height of 30' feet upon the deck, where he broke his neck. " When I reached the top, my first movement was to' take a view of the prospect presented by the hostile fleets. —For more than a league extended a thick cloud of' smoke, above which were discernible a forest of masts and rigging, and the flags, the pendants, and the fi.e of the three nations. 'Thousands of flashes, more or less near, continually penetrated this cloud ; and a rolling noise, pretty similar to the sound of continued thunder, but flinch strdnger, arose from its bosom. The sea was cairn ; the wind light, and not very favourable fcr the execution of manainvres, " When the English top•men, who were only a few yards dist-int, saw us appear, they directed a sharp fire upon us, which we returned. A soldier of my company and a sailor were killed close to me; two others who were wounded were able t go below by the shrouds. Our dpponents were, it seems, still wore handed than we, for I socks saw the English tops deserted, and none sent to supply the place of those who must have been killed or wounded by our balls, I then looked to the English vessels and to toff own. " The smoke which enveloped them Was dissipated for a moment, and returned thicker at each broadside. The two decks were covered with dead bodies, which they had not time to throw overboard. I perceived Cato, Lucas (the Captain of the Redoubtable) motionless at his post, and several wounded officers still giving orders. Oa the - poop of the English vessel was an officer co vered with orders, and with only one arm. From what I hail heard of Nelson, I had no doubt that it was he. He was surrounded by several officers, to whom he seemed to be giving orders. At the moment I first per ceived him, several of hi; sailors were wounded beside him, by the fire of the Redoubtable. As I had received no orders to go down, and saw myself forgotten in the tops, I thought it my duty to file on the poop of the English vessel, which I saw qui:e exposed and close to me. I could even have taken an aim at the men I saw, but I fired at hazard among the groups of sailors and - officers. All at once I saw great confusion on board the Victory, the men crowded round the officer whom I had taken fur Nelson, He had just fallen. " From the moment he (Nelson) received his wound, and the position of the wound itself, I could not doubt that I was the author, and I have ever since been fully convinced of it. But, though the shot that had brought down this Admiral had rendered a service to my coun try, I was far from considering it as an action of which I had a right to boas'. Besides, in the general confu sion, every one could claim the honour ; I might not be believed ; so that I was afraid of furnishing my com panions with a subject of ridicule, and did not think proper to mention it to them or to the French officers saw on board the Victory. It was in this manner that more than once, in the course of my life, careless ness and false shame have deprived me of adv,ntages I might justly - have claimed. " By the following extract from Southey's Life of Nelson, it appears that the belief on board the Victory was, that the man who fired the fatal ball himself fell before the action was ended. " Within a quarter of an hour," mys N ' elq*lff Biographer, "after Nelson was wounded, above fifty of the Victory's men fell by the enemy's musketry. They, however, on their part, were nut idle ; and it was not long before there were only two Frenchmen left alive in the mizen-top of the Redoubtable, ' one of them was the man who had given the fatal wound ; be did not live to boast of what he had don... An old Quartermaster bad seen bim Are, and easily recognised bins, because be wore a glazed cocked bat sod a white frock. This Q uartermaster and two Midshipmen kep: firing at the top, and be supplied tbem with cartridges. One of the Frenchmen attempting to make his escape down the rigging was shot by Mr. Pollard, and fell on the poop ; but the old Quarter :luster as he cried out, ' that's he, tbat's he,' and pointed at the other who was coming forward to lire again, received a shot in his mouth and fell dead; both the Midshipmen then fired at the same time, and the fellow dropped in the top. When they took posses sion of tke prize, they went into the mizentop, and found him- with one ball throug h his head, and another through his breast." Another generally-received opinion is, that the than by whose hand Lord Nelson fell was instantly shot by one of the Victory's crew; and the man who has the credit of this act of vengeance is now living, or was a few months ago, in the enjoyment of a pension, in Par son's Green-lane, Fulham. says La Belle Assernblee. To be on good terms with oneself generally iropli:s a tolerable contempt for the rest of the world. The English Consul at Tangiers, his wife, and hi. daughter, aged nine years, were all poisoned with ices last Wednesday. The pliys;cian who was called in pro ceeded instantly to the Cafe where the ices were made, and took several, which he sealed up, and sent to the Ecole de Medicine. Thanks to the skill of several emi nent physicians, the Consul and his family have been able to continue their journey, although in a state of great debility.—French Paper. Monday evening, as five children, three of them be longing to a mats of the name of Taylor, who sells fruit at a stall on Mount-pleasant, Cold Bath-square, were sitting with their mother On the pavement op posite their father's, a hackney chariot, N 0.595, hap pening to come down the hill from Gray's Ina-lane at rather a quick pace, the reins - broke, and the driver was unable to prevent the horses and vehicle from momentarily running upon the pavement among the children before the mother could render them any asistaace. Two of the children escaped unhurt, but the other three are all more or less injured. Fears are entertained for the life of the eldest, a girl about seven years old, who is inwardly hurt, one of the wheels having passed over her. The two youngest (boys) are likely to recover. • Tuesday, Mr. Sheriff, of Hackney, left home in his usual state of health, to witness the rowing match for Dogget's Coat and 134dge; on arriving at Blackfriars Bridge he engaged with a waterman to row him to the Swan, at Chelsea. On his return he took one of the oars, and rowed to Blackfriars Bridge, and conversed chiefly with those in the boat until he arrived near the Temple Gardens, when he inquired of Lucas, the water man, whether Kean's boat had been rowed for ? He had scarcely asked the question when he dropped the oar, and fell backwards in a state of insensibility,— The waterman get ashore as soon as possible, and a surgeon was procured, but the unfortunate man was i gnite dead. THE LATE ELECTION*, It is well known that the Lena Tag Assessment Is the only trite rion to determine whether a Freeholder has 'a right to vote at a County Election. Allem the property. in respect of which the vote is tendered, kit burn assessed to the Isbd tat els months before the Election, either in the name of the owner or actual occupier. the vote cannot be received. Ills a fact strongly corroborating this statement, thst a very considerable number of Freeholders were disfranchised at se's 'al late County Elections, front Inattention to the aims theist. It therefore behoves every Freeholder to Inspect ski forthcoming assessment, and if his name should be omitted therein, it will be *advisable for him to communicate with the Assessors, that the requisite alteration may be made ; or, if be choose, he can appeal against the assessments. A want of know. ledge of 'this fact prevened hundreds of persons from voting at many of the late County Elections. I.H. ,POLICE INTELLIagNCR. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday, Ma &Ours was charged by bet master, Mr. Robin son, With havinrMitslen several articles belonging to him and other persons in the hos*. Mr. Robinson stated, that having missed several things at diffe rent times since the prisoner entered his service, be caused some search to be made, and found that there was good reason foe be lieving that she bad made. free with what was not bet own. He determined to gat rid of her as soon as possible, and sent for an officer to make all right between him and the prisoner. The officer proceeded to search, and handkerchiefs and other articles were found in a place she had first left. She told her master vim being detected, that now that he had found all that belonged to him, he ought to be satisfied " If," said she, "you will forgive me, VU be very much obliged to you." He, however, theught the least be could do %VAS to interfere to preVfnt other families from being robbed.—The Loan MA roes remanded the prisoner. GULLPHALL. Mr. Andrew Patience charged Mr. liansaby Moore with having battered and bruised his head wadi is was not fit to be seen. ,The bead, certainly, was in a very unsightly condition—resembling an unripe, rough-coated, dark-green pumpkin, more than any thing else; and what was still more strange, the owner declared that it had been " knocked about in that fashion for nothing in the world but life I" . • " For Sege !" said Mr. Alderman ANSLoY, with no little surprise. Yes, indeed, your Worship," replied the verd-antique visaged Mt. Andrew' Patience ; and then he went into a rather tedious detail of the manner bow it came about—tram which 'detail we gathered that it was not love, but that green-eyed monster Jealousy, which bad brought him to this dark-green and very preposterous pass. Love was undoubtedly a sort of a police's criminis in the affair, but it was the green eyed monster above-mentioned that did all the mischief. The circumstances were thus t Seven years ago, the defendant, Mr. Barnsby Moore, an operative baker, riling twenty-three years old, became enamoured of one Miss Alithea Mumford, whore sire sells cabbages, and other esculent vegetables, in some devious court beside Fleet-market; and there the fleeting boors flew by, unmarked by Mr. Moore—for he was born " ayoot the Tweed," and could coolly endure a seven, or even a fourteen years' courtship, if prudence forbad its earlier consum mation. But Mr. Moore had more patience than Miss Alithea Mumford. She thought the tender passion was net tough enough to bear stretching out to such a length, and began to fear it might snap asunder, some day or other, never to re-unite. So she pru dently resolved to have two strings to her bow—or, which is much the same, two beaus to ber string ; and without more ado, she appointed Mr. Andrew Patience to the second post. Mr. Andrew Patience la a juvenile butcher ; and notwithstanding his name is Patience, he soon made it manifest that he had no patience in his temperament. In fact, I•e was so impatientso incessant in his attentions to Mils Alithea, and so urgent for a consummation of their courtship, that the matter could no longer be kept secret from the cool and calculating Mr. Moore ; and he, suddenly laying aside his coolness, and not calculating the consequences of so doing, was tempted to waylay Mr. Andrew Patience, and batter and bruise hint, as already described. Mr. Moore had no defence to make before the Magistrate; and therefore, as a matter of couree, he was ordered to end sureties to answer the complaint of Mr. Patience at the Quarter &edam. BOW-STREET. Yesterday, a genteel looking woman, in widow's weeds, applied for the Magistrate's assistance stultr the following circumstances : She stated. that eleven years ago she was left a widow, with four small children ' • and that some time since a friend of her late hus band had taken her eldest son with a premium, to be a friend and master to him. He kept a school in the country, and last Easter she had distressed henelf to procure him clothing, &c. A few days since, however, the boy had been sent back barefoot, and nearly naked. She had written to the schoolmaster, but he would not return her the boy's clothes ; and she now in a very modest man ner requested the Magistrate's assistance. Mr. Mtusmus.t said it was an extremely hard case, and ordered a summons to be given her free of expellee. Sbe appeared greatly affected, and left the office with tears of gratitude. ZIATTQN GARDEN. Daniel ikbilag was brought befor: the Sitting Magistrate by Lloyd, charged with stealing a silk handkerchief. A young man named Bqdfield, stated, that on Tuesday night, about nine o'clock, while talking to a friend, in Liquorpond.street, the prisoner, who appeared to be playing with another lad, ran against him as if accidentally, and at the same moment.he felt a pull At his pocket, to which be immediately applied his hand, and missed his silk pocket handkerchief. On turning sharply round he saw . the prisoner in the act of transferring it to his companion, who immediately ran away with it towards Leather-lAne, pursued by witness. He however soon lost sight of him, and on returning to Liquorpond-street, found that the prisoner had also effected his escape. The Magistrate asked if the person who bought the handkerchief was present, and on being answered in the negative, said, that as the attendance of that person was necessary, he should remand the pri. Boner until Friday, and perhaps by that time his companion might be found. Lloyd said be was well known, and should be looked after. 7'. Lewis was charged by his employer, Mr. Ryley, fuhmanger in Bloomsbury, with defrauding him of half-a-crown, wit► which be had been sent to purchase iee at a confectioner's, and with similar act*, to the amount of Al, by placing the articles to his manses account, and pocketing the money.

A clerk to a respectable Solicitor was charged with coming into hi* employ by a forged certificate of character, and with obtaining, by false orders, stamps from a Mr. Gregory, to the value of ,di ....He was remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A young man, mussed Pram* White, whose connections are very respectable ' was charged with having robbed Mr. Egg, the gunsmith, Haymarket, of two pair of pistols, value 34 guineas. It appeared that Mr. Egg had missed these pistols in April last— that the prisoner had pledged them, and sold the oplicatn to Mr. Styles, a gunmaker, in - Tottenham-court read, for wen shillings each. The stols were seen in Mr. Styles's windlow by a young man of Mr. Egg's, who gave information to his moaner. Tuesday night the prisoner called again at Mr. Styles's, to kern if IK took out the pistols from the pawnbroker's, and was taken Isse• custody. On searching him a great number of duplicates were familia him, a check far ,e 7 on a person named Smith, and some benefit tickets, one of a watch, and other articles, the property of Mr. Jacobs, of Oxford-street, where be lodged, and where it appeared be had bro ken open Mr. Jacobs's boa, and taken therefrom his watch and other prop The pistols were produced, and identified by Mr. Egg, and the prisoner was fully eintimitted for trial. Yesterday, a man named William Thomas, who has been some days in custody on a chuge of having stolen a quantity of plate from the house of Mr. Hal" a solicitor, within a few doors of this office, was brought up for final examinat ion. It appeared that the prisoner, who had once lived in the service of Mr. Knight, took an opportunky some morninp ago, while the ball door was opom, of sonering *it parlour of Mr. Knight's house, and carrying off a comsidorobis rproneky of plate, width be o ff ered for sale to a man nomad Levy, stree t, who detained It until the prisoner was a ppwkwfL A footman of Mr. Knight's ligatlisd the piste u belonging to his master; and the primmer, who mode a full confession of the robbery, was committed foe trial.

Soon after hi had entesei the service, 'articles were mining out of the shop; hat. notwith. standing every vigilance had been resorted to in order to ascertain by whom the property was taken, the thief was trot discovered until within the last few days, when, on taking stock, shore appeased to be a most alarming deficiency in the various goods that butbrei previously deposited in the shop. The prisoner was respected as ,the person, particularly as he was frequently observed of late in the habit of visiting at the house of a noted courtesan in the weigitherm Mod of West-square. A search-warrant was accordingly applied for and olined, which, on being 'scented. upwards of 301, worth of Mr. Benjarnin's goods, consisting of silk shawls, silk handker chief's, silk atockilip, and pieces of muslin, were found in the prl sater's boa; and on csamining his person, duplicates of prop ert y of the same descriPtion, pledged at different pawnbrokers' shops, were found lo his pockets: Mr. Benjamin, while detailing t h e losses he had sustained by dishonest sbopssen, was so affected as even to shed tears.

Colchester Fair, on Monday, was very indifferently supplied, and rather thinly attended. The horse stock consisted of hacks, aged cart horses, and ponies, with a few can colt's; the latter met a ready sale, as did cut horses generally. Of the neat stock the supply was short—of those exhibited but few were sold, the sellers asking rites which the buyers were not willing to give. A small lot of three-year old galloways was sold at eight guineas a heap. Upon the whole hut very Utile baslneu was mutinied. Tuesday afternoon an inquisition was taken before J. W. Ulm,. Esq. at the London Hos t hal, touching the death of Edward Livey, who was killed in a pugi. contest with John Lee, na Sunday morning. Tice deceased, it appears, was 16 years of age, and his an tagoni.t only 15. TheJas y, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict of manslaughter against Jo hn Lee, es principal, and Matthew Smith, Henry Hurst, alias Stockweller, Junes Saunders, and Joseph S=well, as accessories. Toe Coroner's warrant was then issued against these persons, ssho were already in custody, and the witnesses were bound over to the Session.. Yesterday morning, at four o'clock, as the Birming• ham waggon was on its journey to town, passing through &ling, the axletree broke; the waggon upset and fell on the guard, and it was full an hour before they got it up.

At the Sturminster (Dorset) Petty Sessions, on Mon day last, another conviction took place under the new Act for protecting gat dens Pnd orchards against robbery. George Ayres, of Shillingst me, charged a r:spectable looking man of the name of Minchingston, s ith having stolen from his garden seven cucumbers. The offence was clearly proved by a person who saw him steal them. When charged with the fact, be denied it, but the cucumbers were found upon him. The magistrates said a discretionary power was vested in them under the new Act of Parliament, and they fined him Isd. (three times the value of the cucumbers) and the costs. If this decision be compared with that which the magis trates of the same county came to on Saturday, under the same Act, when four little boys, of about seven of eight year!, were committed to gaol, and placed on tl e tread-mill, for taking apples from the garden of the Rev. Mr. Chamberlain, it will show plainly enough the danger of this discretionary species of legislature. The old thief escapes with impunity, whilst the poor simple and deluded boys ate probably ruined for life.

A curious event occurred lately on the confines at Gail!oder', in Dauphiny. The village Doctor returning quietly on his pad from visiting a patient, was suddenly accosted by a poor taserable.looking wretch in female attire, who begged charity of him. He was in the act of taking his sadists from his pocket, when perceiving the object before him make an extraordinary movement, as if to take something from her pocket. a suspicion, which in the sequel appears too well grounded, struck him mat setting spun to his jade, be sought to evade the object of his ;ems ; but he had scarcely made ten paces, when he heaM two halls whiz about his ears fortunately without touching him.
