ENORMOUS DETENTION OF LETTERS.—EiWard Oram, an auxiliary letter-carrier in the General Post-office, was charged with feloniously secreting and detaining a great number of letters, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster- General. Mr. John Gardener, one of the senior clerks in the Post offioe, said—The prisoner was a letter-carrier, engaged at the North-Western District. In consequence of com plaints of the nen-delivery of letters in that district I made up four trap letters on Saturday, and posted them in the prisoner's delivery. At eleven o'clock in the evening Crocker went to the prisoner's, and found two of the letters I had made up in one of his pockets, and a great many others. He was asked why he had not delivered the let ters. and he replied he could not find out the address. He was then given into custody. An officer was sent to search his residence, and a number of letters were found. Mr. Henry—How many ? Witness—about 400. Mr. Henry—And all unopened ? Witness—Yes, your worship. Mr. Henry—You will wait a remand, Mr. Peacock, as it will be necessary to have all the letters opened. Mr. Peacock, the Solicitor to the Post-office—Among the letters were two containing coin. Those letters are now in the possession of the Post-office. [The witness here pro duced the letters referred to.] Mr. Henry—They will all have to be opened, so it w ill be as well not to go into that part of the case to-day. Mr. Peacock—The letters may as well be opened as they are here. A special messenger will he sent out imme diately with the letters found at the prisoner's house, and the letters or covers will be got back. Mr. Henry—The non-delivery of so large a number of letters must have caused great inconvenience. Many of them may probably contain bills of exchange. Mr. Peacock—A number of them, I believe, contain legal notices. Mr. Henry—Are they all town letters ? Mr. Peacock—Yes, your worship. Mr. Henry—lf you wish you can open the letters you have referred to. Of course you will want a remand. Mr. Peacock—l think we may as well open the three letters I have spoken of. The letters were then opened. One contained a shilling, another a sixpence, and the other two small keys. Gideon Crocker said—l am an officer attached to the General Post-office. On Saturday night I went in com pany with Bingham to the prisoner's residence, No. 11, Melton-street, Euston-square. We went into the room at the back of the shop and found the prisoner lying on the bed. We roused him up, and asked him if he had com pleted his evening's delivery of letters. He said he had, and I then asked him where his bag was. He said he had not got one; but I told him he had, as I bad seen him with one. I spoke to his wife and then went into the shop, when she said, " Oh, here it is." I examined it and found in it nine letters bearing that day's post mark. I then searched his coat and found three other letters bearing the February post mark. The letters were all unopened. I then took him to the North- Western-office, on his way he said his head was affected, as he had a sunstroke in India. I left the prisoner with Mr. Gardiner, and then went back to the prisoner's house, and there I and Bingham found a box under the foot of the bed which contained a smallpacket of 17 letters of the previous day's delivery (May 16), and under some clothing I found a large quantity of unopened letters. Alogether I found in tke prisoner's h use 397 unopened letters. I took them and gave them to Mr. Gardiner. Joseph Forbes said—l am an inspector of letter carriers at the North-Western office, the prisoner since Juno last has been employed as an auxiliary letter carrier Mr. Henry—At what salary ? Witness-10s. a week. He was only employed from 5 to 9 o'clock of an evening. It was his duty to return all letters he could not deliver early the next morning. His delivery was the Old St. Pancras-road. He was so em ployed in February, March, and April last. Mr. Henry—How many letters did he generally have to deliver ? Witness—About 30 or 35. Mr. Henry—Because I see on the 13th of February he delayed 33. On the 14th there were 34. Mr. Peacock—That is all the evidence I propose to offer to-day. Mr. Henry (to the prisoner)—What have you to say to the serious charge preferred against you? Prisoner—Nothing. I did not know I was doing wrong. None of the letters were opened. Mr. Henry—You must have known you was doing wrong. You will be committed for trial after your next examination. At present I shall remand you for a week. LAN , AY. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn. IN RE BRAUN AND KORTSOXI.—.7IIDGIIENT. His Honour gave judgment this morning on the question of last examination. The bankrupts were described as of London.-wall, hat and cap manufacturers, and originally presented ‘ a petiti on under the private arrangement act, in September, 1861, at which time the debts and liabilities were stated by Messrs. Hart Brothers and Hayles at about £.45,000, but the proceedings were ultimately brought into open court, much delay having been occasioned by Mr. Kortsoko being at Montreal to realise the property. His Honour in the first instance referred to the fact of the elaborate examinations, and considered that a great portion was wide of the mark, incurring a large expense which be was afraid would absorb nearly all the estate at present in hand, and there would be nothing for the credi tors. It strongly impressed upon his mind the necessity of watching these examinations day by day, and not to permit them to proceed unnecessarily. It now became necessary to employ shorthand writers, and the result was there bad been great cost. His Honour passed the examination (under the old Act), and said that he could not see any ad. vantage to the creditors by adjournment. He then referred to a remark made by Mr. Lawrence as to the costs in the events of an appeal to the Lords Justices, which, if made, would put the bankrupts to the expense of £5OO for why h orcopie e s and " briefing" the examinations. Another reason did so he not co adjournulcould not separate r examination the r st u . n r e ts d , i e that if ug i t t h h o edid t there was a great distinction, which would be made o n the heariu-; of the certificate. whereas wast h - • The bankrupts, therefore, passed their examination. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.) SINGULAR CASE OF A WITNESS REFUSING TO " TALE TILE OATH."-POCOCK V. LONG. This was an action to recover for some goods alleged to have been supplied to the defendant. Defendant sent his wife to answer the claim, and a portly, elderly Irishwoman got into the box. His H,nour (Mr.SergeantWheeler)—Does your husband owe this money ? Witness—Not all of it. His Honour—You must be sworn. Mr. Overall (one of the bailiffs) was proceeding to swear the witness, when she seized the book and kissed it. His Honour—No ; that will not do. You must be pro- perly sworn. Mr. Overall repeated the words of the oath. Witness—No; I won't swear to that. II is Honour—Then I shall find for the plaintiff. Witness—Witness—Very well ; I'll see what I can do. Again she took up the book, and again did the bailiff repeat the oath. Witness—l do not mind kissing the book, but 1 cannot bind myself by such an oath, as it is impossible after all this time to keep to it. His Honour—Then I must find for the plaintiff. THE POWERS OF THE CITY OF LONDON -IMPORTANT DE- CISION.-RULET V. REYNOLDS. This was an action against an attorney having some chambers in Staples.inn, Holborn. Mr. Buchanan objected to the jurisdiction of this court. Defendant's chambers were not in the City, and to prove it, it would be shown that the metropolitan police walked in part of the premises. Mr. Smith, for the plaintiff, said that the map was referred to when the summons was issued, and the process clerk said that the inn was in the jurisdiction of this court. Mr. Grant (the process clerk, and an authority in such matters), was called up, and said that Nos. 1,2, 3, and 4 were within the jurisdiction of the City of London, and that gave the City power over the whole inn. His Honour—l must hold that this court has jurisdiction. Mr. Buchanan—After Mr. Grant's explanation, which, knowing his great exp zience, I willingly aocept, I will no longer object. I may say, on the part of the defendant, that the money was tendered some time since. His Honour found for the plaintiff, giving defendant an extra fortnight to pay. ,SHIPPING-THIS DAY.

THE PHILHARMONIC CO'S:CERT.—This evening Herr Davidoff, a violoncellist, from the Conservatoire of Leipsic, is to make his first appearance in Einngland. Though Germany ; and young, he has gained a high r e p utation at the rehearsal on Saturday, we understand, his execution of one of his own concertos showed h im to be a performer of the very highest order. An abstract has just been published of the s condi tions under which the lines of French ocea n p ostal service contracted for by the Compagnie Generale Maritime, Will be conducted. From this it appears that the communication between Ft ante and the Brazils is the same as that between England and the Brazils—viz., once a month. The com munication between France and the West Indies, &c., will be the same as that which now exists between England and the West Indies, &c., viz , twice a month. Between France and India and China the communication rill be once a month, while that between England and India is once a week, and between England and China once a month. 'With New York the communication from France will be once a fortnight, while that between England and New York is once a week. The annual mileage of the French service abovementioned is 873,024 miles, with a subsidy of £656,520. That of the English service abovementioned is 1, 898,096, with a subsidy of £669,840. The contract money paid by the French Government is therefore a little over i b s . per mile, while that paid by the British Government is less than 7s. ld. per mile.

CATTLE MARKEI We were seasonably well supplied with beasts, sheep, and calves from abroad, in, for the most part, fair condi tion. There were some very good Spanish stock amongst the former. The demand was in a sluggish state, and prices had a drooping tendency. The show of English and Scotch beasts was moderately extensive as to number, and, with very few exceptions, prime in quality. All breeds meta dull inquiry at a decline in the quotations, compared with Thursday, of 2d per 81bs. The best Scots and crosses changed hands at 4s 4d ; but many beasts of excellent quality realised only 4s 2d, and 4s per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,300 Scots, short horns, and cross es ; from other parts of England, 550 various breeds; and from Scotland, 534 Scots and crosses. No beasts arrived from Ireland. Considering the abundance of grass in the pastures the show of sheep was very large. Nearly all breeds were in first .rate condition. Downs and half-breds moved off slowly on rather easier terms; otherwise, the mutton trade was very dull at a decline in value of 2d per 81bs. The extreme value of the best Downs was 4s 10d per 81bs. There was a good supply of lambs in the pens, and the lamb trade was heavy at 4d to Rd per 81bs less money. Prices ranged from 6s to 7s 4d per Bibs. About 900 lambs came to hand from the Isle of Wight, and 150 from Scot land. Calves—the supply of which was only moderate, moved off slowly at Thursday's currency, viz., from 4s 2d to 54 2d per 81bs. Prime pigs wore firm in price, but large hogs were very dull. - - Per 81b. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d Crse. &inf. beasts 2 10 3 0 Pritaecrs-wool d 0.4 0 4 4 Second quality do. 3 2 3 61Pme.S'thdowndo.4 8 4 10 Prime largeoxen 3 8 4 OlLarge erse. calves 4 2 4 8 Prime Scots, &c.. 4 2 4 4 Prime small do 4 10 5 2 Crse. & inf. sheep 3 4 3 6 Large hogs 3 8 4 0 Second quality do. 3 8 3 10 , Small porers ... 4 2 4 10 Lambs, 6s Od to 7s 4d. • Suckling calves, lOs to 22s ; and quarter-old store pigs 20s to 295.

Alfred flaseler, one of the park constables, said he was on duty in Kensington Gardens the previous afternoon, when he saw the defendant throwing stones by means of the catapult produced. The defendant was just inside the gate by the flower garden at the time. The defendant said he was sorry for what he had done, but in consequence of the numerous complaints made by visitors to the gardens of lads throwing stones he took him into custody. Defendant said he was very sorry, but he did not know he was doing any harm. Mr. Tyrwhitt said discharging stones from such a thing as that produced was very dangerous, and everybody must know it. It was a practice that could not be permitted, and with the view of protecting the publio he should fine the defendant ss. or seven days. The park constable asked whether he should give the catapult back to the defendant, but Mr. Tyrwhitt told him not to do so. THAMES, THIS DAY. THE LAW OF DISTRESS FOR RENT.—A HARD CA.SE.— Mr. Harry Joseph Wareham, the landlord of the Commer cial Stores, a house of public entertainment, No. 7, King's place, Commercial-road East, applied to Mr. Woolryoh, for his advice and assistance under the following circum stances : Mr. Wareham said he rented his house of a Mr. Charles Steel, auctioneer, broker, and appraiser, of No. 6, King's place, who threatened, two days after Lady Day last, that, if his rent was not paid by the following Saturday, the 29th of March, he would distrain upon him. He paid his quarter's rent to Steel on Monday, the 31st March. The witness put in a receipt for LS 175., one quarter's rent, due Lady Day, 1862, signed Charles Steel, and dated March 31, 1862, On Saturday the ground landlord or landlady, Miss Bonner, put in a distress for Laln7dlOas.,bhreaklfera named rent, although nothing was owing, Burden:made out an inventory. quarter's rent p a id Mr. Woolrych — W as the p revious to Steel. Mr. Wareham —Yes, sir; my predecessor Mr. Muschamp and paid the quarter's rent due Christmas last to Steel. - In answer to ques tions b y Mr. Woolrych, the applicant said that Steel was the lessee of the Commercial Stores auc ti o n room and premises, No. 6, adjoining, and had not paid any rent to Miss Bonner for a half year. Mr. Woolrych said it was a very hard case indeed upon the applicant, who had honourably paid his rent, but th e lessor had a perfect right to distrain under the circum stances. The applicant's remedy was against Steel, who could be sued for damages in one of the superior courts at Westminster. Mr. Woolrych—lt is a very hard case upon you indeed — very much like a fraud on the part of this Charles Steel, who compelled you to pay your rent six days after quarter day. There ought not to be a n execution lam sorry 1 cannot assist you. I would advise you to make your case known at the Bankruptcy Court. 110 112 90 92 97 99 100 102 91 93 92 94 102 104 76 78 76 78 170 180 103 105 .37 139 [O2 104 [l5 117 115 117 138 142 [l5 117 152 156 129 133 77 79 93 95 14 141 [24 126 i im 68 70 i iPm [3B 140 [O3 105 94 96 LlO 112 [OB 110 1 16pm, ,00 102 96 98 , 14 Id, pat 1p 22i 23i 100 100 100 all all 16:6 135 140 10 11 23i 24i 101 103 101 103 86 90 28 29 33 34 33 34 42 45 125 127 120 125 103 10 5 119 122 122 COLON lAL,GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. c•Ja.&Julyl .

The following inteiesting letter from the Count de Reuss to a friend is published in the Morning Post : " Orizaba, April 14. "Inflexible destiny is stronger than the will of man. Could I have doubted it, what has just occurred here would have convinced me. " The triple alliance no longer exists, The soldiers of the Emperor remain in this country to establish a throne for the Archduke Maximilian—what madness I—while the soldiers of England and Spain withdraw from the Mexican soil. "You, who are aware of the attachment I have for the Emperor, and the truly fraternal esteem in which I hold the brave French and all that relates to thorn, will readily comprehend the bitterness of my soul when I am obliged to quit the battle-field and to separate myself from my com rades, when the finest dream of my life was to combat for the same cause as the French, and on the same ground. "But it was impossible for me to remain without forget ting altogether what I am and what I owe to my Queen and my country. _ _ _ "The truth, after all, is, that the Commissioners of the Emperor have departed entirely from the Convention of London, with the determination of acting on their own an count only. The pretext was the protection which they in sisted on extending to the Mexican emigrants, Almonte ani the rest, who arrived ac Vera Cruz, avowing that they came with the fixed plan of destroying the republic, in order to create a monarchy in favour of the Archduke Maximilian. Since then, in the Conference of the 10th, five days before the negotiation with the Mexican Govern ment, M. de Saligny declared that he would no longer treat with the Government of Juarez. " In the last proces verbal all is clearly expressed—clearly established—in extenso, as the diplomatists say—and that document alone will suffice for public opinion to determine who is right and who is wrong. " As to myself (a Spaniard) you will readily understand that I could not support this radical change of the political system of this country if a prince of the Austrian monarchy was to be imposed on it. " The allies came here bound by the Convention of Lon don, and we could not depart from it without placing our selves in the wrong. I withdraw, then, with my troops, and go to Havannah, to await the orders of my Govern ment.—Yours, &c., " PRIM." BANK ROBBERY AT GENOA. The Opinione of Turin says that, notwithstand ing all their foresight and precautions, the thieves had forgotton one of the handkerchiefs with which they had gagged their victims. This handkerchief being marked the initials " C. P.," the director of the police department, aware of the circumstance that the culprits spoke the Bolognese dialect, sent to Bologna, to examine the registers of the police office there, in order to find a name answering to those initials. The name " Ceneri Pietro " was thus found, and a description of his person was sent to Genoa. A like description being given by the clerk of the bank who had been gagged by him, the iden tity of the person in question with the thief became ram ally established, and served as a clue for the arrest of the whole gang. m nt a e n r n es e t r in in g. whi T c h h no . t rh u e ni authorities e a w o a f s L e effected e Spezia s having received information on the Bth to the effect The t h a e u t a h r o r that the Amor di Patria was to leave the port in the evening, and then take some persons ou board off Nervi, who were suspected of being the thieves in question, the Montebello gunboat received in structions to follow the said vessel, and board her as soon as the new passengers had gone on board, which was done accordingly. When they fou nd there was no escape, they attempted to throw their booty overboard, and some of i t did go int o th among an g k the notes rocks of 1, 1 0 , f oo S o a f n before they could be s to pp ed ; but, curiously enoeugseha, a parcel containing about 5 each has since been found on Nazaro, near Alb aro, b y a uoy o f 13 „ named Caboni. i thieves, aThend Messrs.Montebello par took o di,fatthheerAamnod sord Patria to Genoa, , were summoned toident T if h y e ies, Which they did prisoners,with including the cap tain and crew with out board hesitation. of the captured vessel, were then landed and con veye d h m escorted by 0 to prison in omnibuses, dense that the car a b . i . neers. The crowd was so Ducal vehicles were a long time reaching the ment of the Palace; such was the excite factors that it w as f people evinced against the male eared the carbineers would be unable to p ro t ect the prisoners. However, after some trouble, they were safely lodged in the pri sonsof Saint-And r ea, where the guards were doubled. The prisoners themselves evinced the greatest coolness and impudence from the moment of their arrest to their arrival in prison. The Questor (director of the police) of Bologna, and M. Fontana, one of the chief functionaries of the cen tral police department are now at Genoa. The con viction of these gentlemen being that the prisoners are old hands, and belong to a widely spread asso ciation of thieves, itis their intention to consult the archives of the police in order to subject all the parallel cases of recent date to a revision, which Es expected to lead to many a curious retrospective discovery. The prisoner who was at first believed to be a nobleman is now stated to be called Ted Nobile by name, which led to t he mistake. Corriere Mercantile of Genoa a nnounces that the whole gang have confessed their crime. THE GRIMSBY ELECTION RioTS.—After a long delay an effort is being made to bring the rioters at the late Grimsby election to justice. Twenty-seven of the ring leaders have been apprehended, and were on Thursday remanded by the borough rafigistrates until Tuesday next, SP ES. The result of the Chester Cup was an agreeable surprise to the bookmakers, scarcely any of them having written the winner's name. Had not the Vest colt been tampered with on the first day, I have no doubt ho would have landed `take colours of Mr. Merry successfully. The other events decided had no effect en the Derby; but for the Derby of 1863 Mr. Merry has again the first favourite, es little as 20 to 1 being eap , ll!. taken about Eecape. York Spring and Salisbury, too I, ,, etitigs which have within the last half-dozen years rie, to great importance, will this week occupy the attention of the racing world, the northern meeting being fixed for Tuesday and Wednesday, ell(' Sa lisbury for the two following days, au arrangement which will permit those who care nothing about night travelling to visit both. The weights for the Great Northern Handi cap were only sufficiently well apportioned to secure the acceptance of thirty-seven of the sixty-six horses entered, and of these a moiety wilt scarcely reach the starting post. Those likely to be enumerated among the runners are—The Wizard (or CapeFlyawsy), Fairwater, Rapparee, Ivarilict; Finland° (or Surprise), I)cefoot, Zodiac, Joey Jones, Prince of Denmark, Alan Rufus, Coloael Crockett, Atronia, Beverley, Caractacus, Carisbrook, Scandal, and the colt by Barbatus out of nutter. Whichever—Tim Wizard or Cape Flyaway—is selected to represent White wall must finish in the front rank, as both ran well over this course l as t year, and t h e f ormer now carr i es on l y 51b more than h e won w i rh this time twelvemonths, while Cape Flyaway p u t s up only 21b more than he was able to run into a good third place behind Rising Sun and Lady Tres boar,pteheanwdinsnierr Joseph hing Haul: l2lb y f fs on h i o h r i s e e t, n a o n ‘ d v th a t: ts for h both t The eE Cape stand relatively much the same was proved in the Spring Meeting by the position s t h ey held in the Rowley Milo Plate, wherein Cape Flyaway ran a dead h ea t w ith Win grave, giving him 291 b. Fairwater, I expect, well improve upon her Chester running. Itapparee and Ivanhoff are both good horses when wanted ; and, if it could be made 411 right for the latter, I would not look further for the winner. Silkstone and Caractacus are the only other horses worthy of notice, and from the heaps of money the former carried on the Rhodee she ought to finish in front. The latter, if he has only recovered from the effects of his severe race with Elcho and Asteroid at Epsom, can scarcely lose, as the course will be far more suited for him than that at Chester. With these remarks, it will be seen that I shall be prepared, to witness CARACTACUS win the Great Northern Handicap. Cape Flyaway or Virgilius will prove successful for the Flying Dutchman's Handicap. A FRESH MAN. TATTERSALLS'-SATURDAY.

Mr. Adderley, Mr. Bentinck , Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Du Cane, L or d _ _ _ _ R. Montague, Mr. W. Stirling, Col. Taylor, Sir S. North: _ . cote, and Mr. Whiteside supported the hon. member; but the Government, on the other hand, was supported by seve ral of the Irish Conservatives, by Mr. Collins, the Hon. W. Duncornbe, M, , jor Edwards, Mr.Fellowes, Mr.J. 11, Gore, Mr. W. R. Gore, Mr. Henley, Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Mao donough, Sir L. Palk, Mr. Peactcke, Colonel Stuart, Mr. Walpole, &c. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—The visitors on Saturday wera more numerous than they have been on almost any occasion since the opening. At 5 o'clock, when the returns were taken, the registers showed that, in all, 15,014 visitors had entered the building, of which 10,212 were season ticket holders, and 4,802 paid at the doors. There were, however, a great many entries after 5 o'cloa, so that the totals of admission was probably over 16,000. The numbers for the week have been 38,517 by tickets ; 23,060 by payments ; 61,577 in all. The attendance during the same week in 1851 was more than double this—namely, 87,000 by tickets and 53,386 on payment, or 140,386 in all. Much of the slackness of paying visitors is due to the gene ral impression that prevails that even at this date the Exhi bition is quite unfinished, though now there is little real ground for the opinion. As a display of arts and manufac tures it is almost as complete as it will be a month hence, for the minor details connected with the arrangement of statues, flowers, &c., are comparatively of no great impor tance as regards the great object of the Exhibtion itself. THE VICEROY OF EGYPT.—Said Pasha, the Vice roy of Egypt, on arriving at Lyons, was received at the railway station by Marshal Count de Castellane, the senator charged with the administration of the department of the Rhone, and other civil and military functionaries; and de tachments of soldiers were present to pay the usual military honours. The Viceroy entered an open carriage drawn by four horses, in which were also seated the marshal and the senator, and, preceded by a detachment of Lancers, went at a walking pace to the Grand Hotel de Lyon, where apart ments had been prepared for him. The suite, 'which is nu merous, and among who m is Mustapha Pa r e sse d of i n thea imself fluently in French, and is rather quick at repartee. On being asked sha, the * Vice- Vice roy's nephew, and Zeulfukur Pasha, his Minister of Foreign Affairs, followed in other carriages. Said P asha is very Legion of Ho nour. He ex presses h black w , ear s his full beard ; of he grand w nd s officer d thedecoration whet h er his voyage had b een pleasant, he replied, " Not ver y good, for we took in coa l s at Naples and at Civiti Vecchia, and the Roman and Italian combustibles would not agree, which delayed our 'h progress considerably." HANDEL FESTIVAL.—The e great roof over the orchestra at the Crystal Palace will be entirely completed, and the scaffold remo Saturda Saturday next, 24th Mv e d , by the Great Flower Show, The following sc particulars b re specting its constructimrdimensions, interest ing. It is supported by five wooden girdecrs"smtraeytchtingacross the entire width of the orchestra-216 feet. Tho main weight of these girders 1, sts upon iron casings, fixed round the columns supporting the transept roof, thus forming an independent structure from the foundation. The solidity and firmness of the great transept is, in fact, very consider ably strengthened by this addition. The ceiling covers a space 216 feet wide by 120 in depth, and in the front is nearly 100 feet high : 5,600 square yards of canvas was used to line the match-boarding composing the ceiling. The organ is receiving considerable additions for the Festival ; one stop, a 32 feet reed, is expected to add enormously to the full body of tone so much needed in large orchestras. The organ, however, is to-day hard at considerable disad vantage, as, until the scaffold around it is removed, it can not be finally tuned ; enough, however, may be heard of its powers, to show the improvement resulting from the con struction of the roof. 74 P R OSPECTS OF THE FORESTS AND MOORS I- T or ait th NORTH,—We learn from the extensive forests in the n The that the season has been very favourable for th b e ie dee en r d be reports from the moors are also very favoaraThe present speak good prospects for the sportsmaen.r Ing of the weather is of great importance to t a h re b now filled with grouse, as a large number of the nestvaiii be general. The eggs, and in a short time hatchhinagehief moors are unsually prospects of the season on all rn t from all the chief shooting good. From inquiries, we sle that the birds have been quarters in the north highlandsare ia t y 1 in excellent health, and seen in large numbers! .iltell o n the wing. In Fortingall very vigorous and spin of £3,000 are pa'd 1 annually for pariah, where upwards the prospects are reported to be very eucou shooting rents, raging. Oa the we ll -known moors of Kiuloch, Garth,nloch, Ga chosn i e , and Cross to ount, the hillsides are frequented by large numbers of fine - conditioned birds, and a good many have beg an to sit clos el y o n their nests. We can learn of n o instance of a diseased bird being found. The splendid shootings on Loch Rannochside, which bring nearly £BOO of rent, appear also stocked with very superior birds in con siderable numbers, and the hatching period is beginning. On the moors of Innerwizk, GlenlY on the Barracks, Struan Lessentulloch, Inneshadden, Dunea; es, &c., therospeet; were never mor e c h eer i ng. On all the extensive Grampian ranges, we believe, so far as we have been able to learn, that the hatching season never commenced under more auspicious circumstances. The next six weeks will be of great importance for both deer and grouse. If there is : excess of rainy weather, it will operate very iniaric' si Y the prospects.—Scotsman.
