Although no doubt could be entei"- tained as to the good faith of Messrs. Phillips and: their client, it was difficult to believe that these , expectations can be realised, or that the "discovery" will not share the fate of the multitude of others that in times of emergency ctre suddenly broached, and which, when they come :.0 an actu working test, are found to break down ! . 11 som al e essential point either of quality, quantity', or price. Most persons of full experience will sti ll view the matter with this feeling of distrust or reserve', but the Proper and prudent steps taken by the pa "ties con cernedslot) of opinion from a disinterested and compt lent have already elicited the subjoine d L'xpres source, which will at all events tend greatly to S.** I mulete the interest awakened and also the hope of some favourable result : " Sir, --Having been in the cotton trade all my life, though now retired and only a looker-on, but still taking a great interest in all that concerns it, I read Messrs. Phillips and Son's letter in your Money Article of this day week and your remarks. " I wrote Messrs. Phillips the same evening, and have since had two interviews with them and their client in Liverpool. ,c I have seen the material proposed as a substitute for cotton in several small specimens, and can speak to its colour, length, and fineness being all that can be desired. "The other quality necessary—viz., strength, I can only speak of by what was stated, that it is as strong, or stronger, than cotton, that it can be supplied in large quantity, and at a price as low or lower than the average price of cotwn which I told them was about 6d. per lb. " I have stated simply what I have seen and heard. "And, further, both Mr. Phillips and his friend are so straightforward, and even modest in what they say and propose, as a still more thorough investigation of the sub ject, the profound gravity of which is apparent to every one, that I write this in the hope to promote that object. —I am, most respectfully, "JAMES HARDY WRIGLEY, late head of the firm of John Wrigley and Sons, Liverpool.

AUCHTERARDER.—During the last fortnight the weather has, with the exception of one or two days, been favourable for grouse shooting. The sport enjoyed has been generally good. There are some complaints, however, as to the scarcity of birds. Owing to the fine weather the young birds have grown well, and all the broods improved con siderably in condition. On the Coulshill moors, Mr. Smeaton and party have bagged since the season commenced between 300 and 400 head of game. They had excellent hare shooting. Mr. Mylne, at Duchally, has also had pretty good shooting when he went out on his moors, from 20 to 30 head in two or three hours daily. We have favourable accounts of the grouse shooting on the northern moors. Messrs. Joynson, on the Appin moors, have some superior shooting. On four days' shooting during the week they had about 70 brace. On the Grandtully moors, the sportsmen have met with good shooting, likewise, the average being about 40 head of game per day. On the Rannoch moors, the shooting we under stand has been splendid. Several of the sportsmen have had between 70 and 80 head of game on an average per day. The price of grouse still continues high, from 2s. 6d. to 3s. each. Heavy hampers are, however, daily transmitted from the game-dealers to the London markets.—Scotsman.

Shortly afterwards the Prussian Vice-Consul at the port, Chevalier Van denbergh, paid his respects on board the frigate to his Royal Highneas, and on leaving received the usual consular salute. His Royal Higii.ness after wards visited the Resistance iron frigate, lying at Spithead, at 11 a.m., embarked on board the Sprightly steamer, Master Com.

The Gazelle took in coals at Spithead yesterday, and will leave for the Downs to-day, where Prince Adalbert will re-embark, and the frigate will then proceed direct for Dantsic.

" Sir,—The new order of the day, which has been published this morning, and by which you require that all and whatever arms, which may be in pos session of the people of this city, must be delivered up, has caused the most serious alarm among the French subjects of New Orleans. " Foreigners, sir, and particularly Frenchmen, have, notwithstanding the accusations brought against them by certain persons, sacrificed every thing to maintain during the actual conflict the neutrality imposed upon them. When arms were delivered them by the municipal authorities they only used them to maintain order and defend per sonal property, and those arms have since been almost all returned. And it now appears, accord ing to the tenor of your order to-day, that ;,French subjects, as well as citizens, are required to surren der their personal arms, which could only be used [in self-defence. _ _ _ Cotelettea de.

A good number of the moors have not been opened this season, as the birds were both scarce and small. On the Glenorchy moors, we understand, seme good sport has been got, but none of the bags have exceeded 40 brace per day. A few of the sportsmen have had on an average from 20 to 30 brace daily of grouse. Black game has afforded some good shooting at Dalmally and Lochaweside. On the Oban and Loch Etive moors some of the grounds have given good shooting, and several of the sportsmen have had 200 brace since the 20th. The deer forests afford good deer stalking, and numerous stags have fallen weighing from 14 to 20st. The heads are clear of velvet, and some of the antlers have from 10 to 14 points. Partridge shooting has not yet com menced. The birds are numerous, but late, many of them having been hatched subsequent to the heavy rains. Phea.. sants will be very scarce, and cannot be good shooting this year. The following is the list of the ships which are now attached to the Chatham division of the steam reserve: -- ENTAVEs.

" wzioultation-19 to and 6to 6; Sundays,l o Olt BRAEMA R.—On Monday Lord Powerscourt brought down a stag in the Derry Forest at the extraordinary distance of 400 yards. The Earl of Fife also shot a fine stag in Mar Forest on the same day, On the Invercauld moors, Col. Farquharson shot two stags on Saturday and one on Mon day. Captain Farquharson, of the 60th Rifles, shot the heaviest stag of the season in the Ballochbuie Forest, on Monday ; it weighed 171st. clean. CAITHNESS.—The weather has been more favourable this week. We have the following accounts from the moors : On the 18th Mr. Hogg and Mr. Dawson each killed 26 brace; Mr. Forman did not shoot, On the 20th Mr. Dawson bagged 37 brace ; Mr. Hogg 351 brace ; and Mr. Forman 28 brace. On the 21st Mr. Hogg did not shoot; but Mr. Dawson shot 16 brace, and Mr. Forman 14 brace. On the 24th Mr. Hogg bagged 28 brace, Mr. Dawson 19/ brace, and Mr. Forman 16 brace. The bag of the, three guns in six days amounted to 3861 brace grouse, besides snipes, hares, and wild ducks. There has been no shooting on the Thrumster moors this week in consequence of the illness of Sir F. Sykes. From the moors of Rumsdale and Forest of Glutt we have the following accounts of the game killed between Aug. 18 and 30 by one gun and one rifle, each out seven days :—Captain Campbell of Balliveolan, 180 grouse, 4 hares, 2 plovers, 1 snipe ; Mr. T. E. 0. Horne, 5 stags and 2 hinds. The grouse are perfectly healthy, although some broods are late, and s me have evidently been destroyed by the wet breeding season. Three or four guns might easily have shot the same quantity each. Stags are in fair condi Hon, and there is an unusual show of hinds with calves.— John o' Groat Journal.— INVERNESS-SHIRE AND THE NORTH--The weather for the last eight days, with the exception of Wednesday (when we had continuous rain), has been generally favourable for sportsmen and corn fields. Good bags have been made on many moors, and good sport experienced in the forests. On the shootings of Easter Kyllachy, Mr, Kidstone and Mr. Ellis, up to the 27th ult., had shot 258 brace of grouse, 3 roe-deer, 5 couples of snipes, and 16 hares. Lord Stamford and Warrington in one day bagged 82 brace of grouse on Dulnan moors, and on another day killed 3 stags in Glen more forest. In Strathconon, Mr. Leigh's party had the following sport !—On the 26th ult., 1 stag, weight 17 stone 101 b., with 9 tines, measuring 27 inches : on the 27th, 2 stags, weighing respectively 15 st. 21b. and 14 st., also 60 brace of grouse; on the 28th, 2 stags ; on the 29th, 54 brace of grouse ; and on the 30th, 2 stags—one of them royal, weighing 16 stone 111 b., and measuring 31 inches. At Ceannacroe, on Tuesday last week, Lord Dacre shot a one-horned stag, after which many a bullet had been sent, and though often wounded, the old stag was found in good condition. Mr. Whitbread, at the same station, killed 30 brace of grouse on Friday last—all fine birds. At Corrie hallie, Sir Edward Kerrison, on Monday last, killed two stags right and left, both ten-pointers ; the head of the finest of the two Sir Edward has sent to Mr. Snowie, to be preserved. The Stonelarig moor continues to afford good sport, though the birds are very wild. On Thursday, Captain Harding bagged 251 brace of grouse, and on Sa turday Mr. J. M'Nab shot 20 brace. At Farr, Captain and Mr. F. V. Nugent (between 15th and 23d ult.) killed 228 brace of grouse, 7 hares, 1 snipe, 1 black game. The Banfisktro Journal reports several days' sport : On the Carr Bridge shootings on Tuesday, the 26th August, Lord Scarsdale had 271 brace grouse ; Mr. Bradshaw, 22 ; Sir Henry Bromley, 171; Mr. Senhouse, 15. On the 27th, Lord Scarsdale had 15 ; Mr. Bradshaw, 20 ; Sir H. Bromley, 30 3 / 4 ; Mr. Senhouse left on Wednesday for England. On Friday last, Lord Scarsdale had 26i ; Mr. Bradshaw, 151; Sir H. Bromley, 10 3 / 4 . On the Belle ville shootings, on Monday, the 25th, Mr. Allsopp's whole party took to hare shooting on the high ground, where they bagged 91 hares and 62 brace grouse. The hares were divided amoung the poor people and others in the village of Kin gussi. On the 26th, the same party took to roo hunting in the plantation on Pitmain, where Mr. Allsopp shot a doe, Mr. G. Allsopp another, and Mr. Wodehouse a buck. On the 27th the whole party took to grouse shooting on Pitmain. Colonel Clowes and Major Boultbee had 31j brace grouse and 7 hares; the Rev. J. Cook, Dr. Carden, and Mr G. All sopp had 21 3 / 4 brace grouse ; and Mr. Wodehouse 26 3 / 4 brace grouse. 5 brace black game, 7 hares.

Mr. Edwards and party killed on the 25th 112 brace. On the 28th, Mr. Glass killed 13 brace only, a great outpo ur of rain stopping the shooting in the afternoon. On the Gled field Moors, Ross-shire, on a he 26th, Colonel Hind had 18 brace grouse. On the 27th, Rev. C. Leslie 14 brace. On the 28th, Lieutenant Beauchamp 121 brace, and on same day Colonel Hind 14 brace. On Saturday the party had all small bags. In the Devidale forest on the 26th August, Sir W. Cloves two fine stags : and on the 26th the party had 54 brace grouse. On the 25th ult., on the Aultmore Hills, the Duke of Richmond and Mr. Cox had 15 brace of grouse and 5 hares. The same day Lord March killed 2 salmon in the Spey, and in the afternoon killed 5 brace of grouse, 1 brace of black game, and a roebuck at White Ash. On Wednesday Lord March brought down two very fine stags at Glenfiddieh. On the 25th Sir G. Macpherson Grant, Bart., of Ballingdalloch, and Capt. Campbell killed on the Spey 5 grilse, 3 of them falling to Sir George's own rod, and weighing from 51b to 6 3 / 4 1b. On the same day Mr. Pocklington and Mr. Gibson-Craig bagged in a few hours 5 brace of grouse, 2 brace of black game, and 3 hares. On Tuesday Mr. Gibson-Craig killed a grilse weighing 61b. On Thursday Sir George and Capt. Campbell were out and killed 1 salmon and 2 grilse. On Friday Mr. Pocklington killed 2 grilse. On the Blairfindy moors Mr. Newell has been out nearly every day during the past week, but shoots only sparingly, wishing to preserve the birds, and his bags have, therefore, been small, ranging from 7to 8 brace. In Glenavon, Lord Henry Bentinck has been very successful at deer-stalking. Although the weather has been cold and backward, and deer are in good condition and very largr and such beautiful heads have not been seen in the forest for a long time back. His lordship killed 2 stags on Tuesday. On Thursday he brought down 1 stag, and on Friday 3, one of them a royal, and on Saturday he had one stag, making seven for the week.—Scotsman. h an en a ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY. aaatreain consisting of cattle and —On Friday morning Peterboroughn, left Leicester at an early coal waggons, heavily l betweenfrom Stamford, the Manton and Suffen• and, as tamford, the axle of one branch of the hmoivarlafnoar rtahilewaSyy.stown the train was proceeding and man y were somewhat tu t err h e e so t ni ru e c v k a s lu w at er l e e ham eof the coal stations,w agag ofne waggons broke, nli miles usiw rewn for some dis tance le injuredat Stamford. or s r e a r th ie e ns r rapidly at p t a h r e d t ,s im v e an , the an al S S e h v o e w ra , l a o n f d th a e thrown off the rails, and the line Ways ofa killed.

The Resistance, 18, screw iron frigate, Captain Chamberlain, arrived at Spithead on Saturday morning from the Nore. On anchoring, she ex- changed the customary salutes with the flagship of the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir H. W. Bruce. She is ordered into Portsmouth harbour to-day to go into dock. A suggested change to improve the rations of sea men is viow on trial at Portsmouth. It is proposed to substitute loaf bread, or " soft tack," as seamen term it, for the excellent biscuit now in use in the navy. The manufacture of loaf bread has fairly began at the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard at Portsmouth, and three large ovens in the biscuit bakery are now appropriated for baking the bread, 3,0001 b. of which is baked per day, and served out in lieu of biscuit to the crews of her Majesty's ships Victory, Edgar, and Excellent, the commanding officers of which ships will have to forward special report to the Admiralty on the working of the new system, and its adaptability to the naval service. The bread is made from a mixture of the purest flour and water, and the dough is fermented by yeast in the usual manner. The result of this is, that the loaves now being produced at the Royal Clarence-yard are of a closer texture than the loaves retailed to the general public by the professional baker, and are of a more satisfying nature, it being in fact pure wheaten bread. There are, however, reasons existing which must militate greatly against the measure being carried into effect to the extent at present contemplated, yet the loaf may supersede the biscuit in port. These are the additional space which would be required in each ship for ovens and the additional stowage which would be required in the ship's hold to carry the casks of flour, and also the deterioration which the flour would be subject to from the heat and damp of a vessel's hold. Then, with regard to the seamen, the constant use of ovens on board a ship, especially iran-cased, would render them insufferably hot in the tropics, and must materially affect the health of the crew. There are also financial objections on the part of the seamen. Under present regulations a certain allowance of biscuit is apportioned per man, which the men eat if they please, or, not taking it up from the ship's steward on issue days, receive a money value for it instead; but under the new system a man must eat his loaf or leave it, and under no cir cumstances will he be paid for any portion of his b ffcor r hor e Aamt a nt d nhi allowance which he does not consume. gt u ahh m met dm e ue r nae of fteyert dockyard e hds eshhhiadpi have wre w erbe r i t i gei g eho h nnt t , se s omfD and lpno aey m reot e dfm c h tfeho a nre n t ochffiisenfcpritoaahmsl the portion erection ofof t t h h e er ion-plated broadside of t thear g e rWepresenting thea sands at Shoeburyness, to be used in the forthcom ing experiments with the monster Horsfall gun, manufactured by the Mersey Company.

A week ago all the Sligo papers announced the capture of Hayes, the murderer of Mr. Braddell. This announcement was made in the most pro minent and distinct manner, and one of them alleged the authority of a sub-inspector of constabulary for the statement, which has turned out to be without any foundation. He is still at large. But the police are confident that he has not left the country, and that he cannot ultimately escape. They are on his track night and day, and they have driven him back from the mountains of Kilcommon towards his own residence, where his numerous friends have formed a body guard for his protection, and are ever on the alert to prevent his arrest. The constabulary have found the chase very harassing, but they are un wearied in their exertions. A few days ago he was actually seen by two constables in [plain clothes, As they approached they were recognised, and the brother-in-law of Hayes made a signal by throwing up his hat in the air,. The police were within 400 yards of the fugitive, but he was immediately sur rounded by 40 men, who seemed determined to fight in his defence, and they saw that it was vain to at tempt the arrest against such odds. " A Sub-In spector," writing to the Daily .1; xpress, says : " Capture became impossible, and the constables retired a short distance towards another party of police, also in plain clothes, who were in the vicinity ; having met with them, all the constables returned to the place, and found a very large number of the country people still collected, but they could not again see Michael Hayes. A man was seen at the some distance on horseback, who may have been the culprit. The result, however, was that, one of the police having been sent for a reinforcement, a large party of constabulary arrived, and made search in the place and the adjacent county for Hayes, but without success." This reminds us of the anecdote of Sir Philip Francis, who repeatedly interrupted the intermin able story of a Royal Duke by the interjection, " Well?"—" Well ?" " Well !" exclaimed his Royal Highness, "What do you want ?" " Want ?—a result, sir," answered Sir Philip. Here we have a " result" which is nothing. It is natural to ask why the two constables could not make a signal as well as the friends of the culprit, so that their party in the vicinity could come to their assistance. A man was seen riding off on horseback, which might be, and probably was, Hayes. Well, there are mounted police, who have good, well-fed horses, — why are they not brought into requisition for the arrest of this great and daring criminal ? Daring as he is, he is but an old man, and it is really very disappointing that so splendid a body of young athletic men, with such resources at their command, should be so long bailed in such a pursuit. They are sore at the comments of the press on their faiiure in this case, and their advocates say they could de fend themselves, if it were proper for them to reply in newspapers. But such a defence would be un availing. " Not words, but deeds" should be their motto. Their only effective defender will be Hayes as a prisoner. It is now 38 days since the murder was committed. Of course, it is impossible that the criminal could escape arrest so long, if the coun try people generally did not befriend him, and make his cause their own. The Government have just made another attempt to break down the combina tion, and induce the peasantry to betray the man whom they are so infatuated as to regard as their champion. The Gazette, published yesterday even ing, contains an announcement from Sir Thomas Under Secretary, that the Lords Justices have of fered a reward of £3OO to any person or persons who shall within one month give such information as may lead to the arrest of Michael Hayes. The murder of Mr. Fitzgerald has been terribly avenged. Two men have died on the gallows for it, and the mother of one of them (Walsh) has lost her reason, and been sent to a lunatic asylum. While he was hiding she was constantly on the watch, and it was chiefly through her vigilance he escaped so long. When arrested she exerted herself to get him accepted as an approver. On the day of the sentence she was seen the whole day passing up and down before the Courthouse in a state of distraction, crying "My son !my son !" When all hope of his life failed her mind gave way, and she is now in the Limerick asylum in a state of confirmed insanity. An attempt to commit an agrarian murder, very nearly successful, was made on Wednesday at Strokestown. Mr. Walpole, who has charge of five or six farms in that neighbourhood, has a steward named Breheny, whom he was commanded, in a threatening letter, to dismiss. He did not comply ; and, in consequence, the steward was shot while entering his own house. The charge consisted of slugs, which penetrated his neck, back, and other parts of his person. The linen trade in all its branches flourishes in Ulster, and there is a brisk demand and good pay for labo'ir in connexion with it. The troubles in American have redounded to the advantage of the linen manufacturers and flax-growers. The Northern Whig of this day observes : " A very marked improvement has taken place during the past week in the legitimate and trade de mand for linen goods of all makes. Up till the pre sent a good deal of the excitement which has existed has been owing to the eagerness of the speculation rather than the sober influence of healthy trade. Now, however, it is apparent that the staple manu facture of the north of Ireland is destined toflourish and enjoy a season of prosperity from the very causes which paralyse the trade of Lancashire. Linen yarns are substituted for cotton yarns ; linens are being substituted for cottons; and the fearful deficiency in the supply of the one material is endeavoured to be mitigated, to some extent, by drawing upon the limited resources of the other. Should the experiment succeed, prices for linens, especially the coarser fabrics, may confidently be predicted to go higher, as the comparatively re stricted manufacture of Ulster would be a mere morsel in the maw of the cotton trade. A strong, steady, continued upward movement has prevailed throughout the week in all descriptions of yarns, and, notwithstanding the previous enormous rise in prices (fully 40 per cent.), the past week has wit nessed a greater advance than had taken place's the same space of time since the movement com menced, being on the range of line wefts about6o2,os pc r cent. since this day week, the numbe rs, say now , to 100's, which we then quoted at 55., being al oe at us. firmly held, and some sales have been they spar Manufacturers, however, buy mans cloth tO have as yet realised no prices for th eir t hese unprec warrant then purchasing yarns at dur cedented figures.

Weitzel, United States Engineer and Assis tant Military Commandant of New Orleans." "Head-quarters, Department of the Gulf, New Orleans, Aug. 14. " Sir—Your official note to Lieut. Weitzel, assis tant military commandant, has been forwarded to me. " I see no just cause of complaint against the order requiring the arms of private citizens to be deli vered up. It is the usual course pursued in cities similarly situated to this—even without an exterior force in the neighbourhood. " You will observe that it will not do to trust to mere professions of neutrality. I trust most of your countrymen are in good faith neutral, bat it is un fortunately true that some of them are not. This causes the good of necessity to suffer for the acts of the bad. " I take leave to call your attention to the fact that the United States force gave every immunity to Mons. Bonnegrass, who claimed to be the French Consul at Baton Rouge; allowed him to keep his arms, and relied upon his neutrality ; but his son was taken prisoner on the battle-field in arms against us. " You will also do me the favour to remember that very few of the French subjects here have taken the oath of neutrality, which was offered to but not required of them, by my order No. 41; although the officers of the French legion had, with your knowledge and assent, taken the oath to sup port the constitution of the Confederate States. Thus you see I have no guarantee for the good faith of bad men. I do not understand how it is that arms are altered in their effectiveness by being ' personal property,' nor do we see how arms which serve for personal defence (' qui ne peuvent servir qui pour leur defence personelle'), cannot be as effectually used for offensive warfare. " Of the disquiet, which you say there are signs manifesting themselves among the black popula tion, of a desire to break the bonds which binds them to their masters (` certaines disposition a rompre les liens qui les attachent a leurs maitres'), I have been a not inattentive observer without won der, because it would seem natural, when their masters had set them the example of rebellion against constituted authorities, that the negroes, being an imitative race, should do likewise. " But surely the representative of the Emperor, who does not tolerate slavery in France, does not desire his countrymen to be armed for the purpose of preventing the negroes from breaking the bonds. " Let me assure you that the protection of the United States against violence, either by negroes or white men, whether citizens or foreign, will con tinue to be as perfect as it has been since our advent here, and by far more, manifesting itself at ail moments and every where pour les instants et par tout'), than any improvised citizens' organisation can do. " Whenever the ',inhabitants of this city will, by a public and united act show both their loyalty and neutrality, I shall be glad of their aid to keep the peace, and indeed to restore the city to them. of all T--- 11.

Sir,—Since your first letter was to hand I have re ceived some very advantageous offers of assistance from various parties, but it has o3curred to me that a consider able period must elapse before the completion of my patent, and, consequently, before I should be able openly to manu facture the raw material ; the season would be rapidly pass-- ing away; neither should I be able to produce a sufficient quantity for present purposes; nor could the granting of licenses take effect for some time. d e ar b t e i c o l e b v w fi: t t h e o d u i t f d e e v l e a ry y, m an a d n , u as fac t t h ur e p er re w se e n re t able t ' 'to pro c u re th s wtohu is no ordinary emergency and requires no common sacri fice, I beg to state that I am willing to make my invention public property upon certain conditions which are here withsent. " ' If the conditions are not deemed satisfactory, I am prepared to consider any modification of them. " ' You are at liberly to make this letter public, together with the conditions, if you deem such a letter desirable. -" Being actively engaged in the city, I do not wish my name to be published at the present time, as I should be inundated with letters and inquiries; all communications may be addressed to Messrs. Phillips and Son. " Your most obedient servant, " THE INVENTOR.' ':' J. H. Wrigley, Esq., Southport. " CONDITIONS. 1.

" IHE MANAGEMENT OF HIGHWAYS. By the new law " h i g h way districts" may be formed, and proper attention paid to the manage ment of highways for the public ben e fit. Any five or moresticeo of a county may i n writing require ip the clerk of the peace to send a notice that at the sessions to he holden a p ro p osa l wou ld be made to di v ide the county or som e p ar t into a highway dis trict, se d that notices be sen t to the overseers and. ure hwardens of every par i s h m entioned therein eh tha t the proposal may be entertained, and a provi sional order made, dividing their county into dis tricts ; such order is not to be valid unless it is con firmed by a trial order of the justices, at some sub sequent court of general or quarter sessions. When it is proposed that only a part of a county is to be divided into a highway district not less than two of the five justices making such proposal are to be resident within the district. On the second meeting the provisional order may be quashed or confirmed. The provisional order is to set forth the parishes to be united, the names of the district, and. the number of way-wardens to be elected for each The provisional an d fi na l or d ers are t o b e in the newsp apers . N o par t i s t o b e in cluded in any highway district formed in pursuance o ap f da t vr h ies e rhtsed act within the limit of a borough, without the consent of the council ; and, secondly, of the vestry of the parish which, or part of which, is proposed to be included. A highway board is to be constituted in each highway district, consisting of the way-war dens elected in the several places within the district, and the board is to be a body corporate. The con sequence of forming a district is, that at and after the first meeting, all property is to vest in the board, and which property is to be held for the benefit of the place for which it was held previously to the formation of the district. Each board has the power of appointing its officers, and payment of the same. The manner in which roads out of repair are to be put in order is distinctly stated by the new law. Where a complaint is made to any justice of the peace that a highway is out of repair, two sum monses are to be issued, and an order made on the subject. Among the formal provisions to carry out the act is one exempting surgeons from the payment of tolls when employed in their duties. The new act proceeds to explain the application of the other highway acts :—" And to relieve the ratepayers, certain boroughs may adopt parish roads and high ways, and be relieved from the great expense of the roads and highways." Further , it is p ermitted to district highway boards to allow l andowners to erect fences without incurring any liability to re, pair the highways. The law on hi g hways in Eng land has now been amended. The present act is of the not to apply to any place w ithin the limits Metropolis Local Manage m e nt Act, nor to any place maintained by soy- local act, but t o o th er places in England.—Observer.
