LAW INTELLIGENCE,-(THIS DAY.) SHERIFFS' COURT. THE VALUE OF FOUR GREAT MUSICAL COMPOSERS:- BRUGIOTTI V. SCHTIRMAN. This was a summons to recover £1 for plaster casts of Beethoven and Rossini. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the defendant, and having admitted plaintiff's demand, opened the case in support of a set-off which had been pleaded. Plaintiff is a moulder and figure maker of Leather-lane, and defendant is a musician, and it was alleged that the defendant had been at great trouble in procuring from Vienna busts of Beethoven, Handel, Bach, and Rossini. Beethoven was charged at £1 125., Handel, £1 lls., Bach, £1 lls., and Rossini, 255. Now these busts, it was stated, were required by plaintiff, to make moulds from, and by having them he was enabled to cast a great number of imitations. Defendant was called, and said that he had been at con siderable trouble in procuring their busts from Vienna. The cost in Vienna was 205., and the carriage upon each nearly 20s. more. He had had some casts of plaintiff's castig of Beethoven and Rossini. In answer to this statement plaintiff said that the busts had been returned to defendant. As to their advent from Vienna that was absurd, as any person could buy them in Oxford-street for 20s. Besides the return of these busts and some casts, defendant had actually paid £3 10s. since the date of his account. Defendant said—That was because he was pressed by plaintiff. Plaintiff—The busts returned by me were in a better condition then when I received them, as I received them in the rough and sent them home polished and painted. Mr. Buchanan—These busts may have been returned, but after plain tiff had made his mould from them were use less. Plaintiff produced a very neat cast of Rossini which he said was sold for ls. 6d. His Honour was of opinion that the set-off was satisfac torily proved. Mr. Buchanan directed his client to withdraw the set-off and consent to a verdict, but his Honour said he had heard the case, end should give plaintiff a verdict generally. CHAPMAN V. WILSON. This was a judgment summons, and Mr. Buchanan, for plaintiff, said it arose from a debt due for rent. Defendant's representative stated that plaintiff had turned the family out of his house when Mrs. Wilson was near her confinement, and it made her very ill. He agreed to give defendant three weeks' notice, but, instead of doing so, he turned them out in a moment. Mr. Buchanan—You were a weekly tenant, and it was not likely plaintiff would give a longer notice than usual ; but as you state that you are very badly off, on behalf of my client I will consent to a verdict of 2s. 6d. per week.. Order accordingly. MODERN ADVERTISING.-BRADFIELD V. HART. This was a summons to recover £l4 for bills posted in 140 omnibuses. Mr. Buchanan stated that plaintiff was the well-known advertisement agent, and he had agreed to post defendant's bills in 140 omnibuses at ls. per omnibus. Plaintiff had agreed to insert the advertisements at 9d. per 'bus provided defendant would sign a six months' older. As defendant had not signed the order, plaintiff went upon the Is. con tract. Evidence having been called in support of this statement, his Honour gave plaintiff a short order. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS MANSION-HOUSE. Robert Gardner, Waterloo-road, was charged under the following circumstances : Mr. Thos. Grosse, publican, 208, Upper Thames-street, was sworn, and said that the prisoner, on Tuesday, 29th August last, applied to him and asked permission to refer to his house in an advertisement he was to put in the Morning Advertiser for a situation, which witness granted. Next day the prisoner and Logan, who was committed for trial yesterday, called on him and showed him a different advertisement in the Aron ning Advertiser, wanting 400 workmen at 20s. and 30s. per week, to work at a new invention. The witness gave the same evidence as to the receipt of 13 letters and postage stamps as that which he gave against Logan yesterday. The prisoner called and received several of the letters. The prisoner was charged with conspiracy to cheat and defraud the public by false and fraudulent pretences. Mrs. Jane Hutton, wife of Mr. Richard Hutton, car penter, Waterloo-road, and her step-daughter, Ellen Scoblie, or Hutton, were sworn and examined, and gave, the same evidence as against Logan yesterday. She wrote a letter to the address, enclosing two penny postage stamps, and received no reply. Police-constable Thomas Smart, 411, saw the prisoner and Logan enter Mr. Grosse's public-house. He appre hended the prisoner in Thames-street yesterday afternoon between two and three o'clock, and asked him if he was aware that Logan was in custody, and he said "No," he was waiting for him ; and on taking him to the station house and searching him, witness found a letter addressed to the above address, with his private mark upon it, enclosing several postage stamps. Witness also found a list, which he produced, of letters re ceived in answer to the advertisement. Also a receipt for the letters from Mr. Grosse and a receipt from Logan to him, with a copy of the _Morning Advertiser containing the advertisement. He gave an address to the Waterloo-road, which witness could not find. Ho was formerly a photographic artist, and had a piece of paper in front of his shirt to imitate a shirt front when taken into custody. The Lord Mayor committed the prisoner for trial on the same charge of fraud and conspiracy as against Logan yesterday. The prisoner said if Logan was committed any p erson applying for a situation might also be committed. If there was any fraud committed, the prisoner said he was guilty of the fraud ; Logan was an innocent party and a sufferer by being imposed upon by him. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A CLERK OF MESSRS. NlCOLL'S.—Charles Alfred Morton, of 40, Gresham-street, clerk, was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing, on the 15th August, the sum of £3 13s. 6d., the moneys of Henry John and Donald Nicoll, the well-known clothiers of Regent-street. Mr. Wm. Hayes, foreman to the prosecutors, said the prisoner was in the employ of the firm as a clerk, and on the 13th of August last he (the prisoner) received the sum of £3 13s Gd., the moneys of Messrs. Nicoll, of the cashier, to pay to Mr. Day, but that gentleman calling on the 29th of August, it was ascertained that the money had not been paid. John Wing, cashier to Messrs. Nicoll, proved giving the prisoner, on the 13th of August, the amount in question, which he was to pay to Mr. Day, of Lowndes-street, Bel grave-square. The prisoner, a respectable •looking young man, said he certainly had the money. and did not intend to abscond, having paid in the same day about £5O. He wished to throw himself upon the mercy of the prosecutors and the court. Mr. Bingham said he should at all events remand the prisoner for a week, and he was accordingly remanded.

GOOD-NATURE OF THE NEWFOUNDLAND DOG.— "As is the case with most of the large dogs, the New foundland permits the lesser dogs to take all kinds of liber ties without showing the least resentment ; and if it is worried or pestered by some forward puppy, looks down with calm contempt, and passes on its way. Sometimes the little conceited animal presumes upon the dignified compo sure of the Newfoundland dog, and, in that case, is sure to receive some quaint punishment for its insolence. The story of the big dog, that dropped the little dog into the water, and then rescued it from drowning, is so well known that it needs but a passing reference. But I know of a dog, belonging to one of my friends, which behaved in a very similar manner. Being provoked beyond all en durance by the continued annoyance, it took the little tor mentor in its mouth, swam well out to sea, dropped it in the water, and swam back again. Another o f these animals, belonging to a workman, was attacked by a small and pug nacious bull-dog, which sprang upon the unoffen , Jin& can ine giant, and, after the manner of bull-dogs, `pinned him by the nose,' and there hung, in spite of all endeavours to shake it off. However, the big dog happened to be a clever one, and spying a pailful of Wing tar, he bolted towards it, and deliberately lowered his foe into the hot and viscous material. The bull-dog had never calculated on such a reception, and made its escape 0 fast as it could run, bearing with it a scalding memento of the occasion. —Boutledge' s Illustrated Natural History, by the Bey.

These payments in anticipation are much larger than any immediate wants of the India Council, and it is found difficult to employ them tempo rarily even at 2 per cent. THE CHANNEL FLEET.—Torbay has been again honoured during the past week with a visit from the Chan nel fleet. On Wednesday the Melpomene, 51, Capt. Ewart ; Diadem, 32, Capt. W. Moorsom, C.B. ; and the screw despatch gunboat Flying Fish, 6, Commander Hope, arrived in the bay from the westward. On inquiry it was learnt that a day or two before the fleet encountered a very heavy westerly gale in the chops of the Channel, in which the Diadem sprung her mainyard, and that with the vessels above-named she was detached from the squadron and ordered to rendezvous at Torbay. Early en Friday morning they were rejoined by the remainder of the fleet. The vessels were discerned in the offing standing in for the bay in splendid order. They consisted of the Royal Albert, 121, Capt. E. B. Rice, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Fremantle, K.C.B. ; the James Watt, 91, Capt. E. Codd ; the Algiers, 91, Capt. G. W. D. O'Callaghan; the Ctesar, 90, Capt. T. H. Mason ; the Agamemnon, 91, Capt. T. Hope ; the Aboukir, 91, Capt. F. Schomberg ; tilt) Nile, 91, Capt. A. P. E. Wilmot; the Hero, 91, Capt. G. W. Seymour, C.B ; the Emerald, 51, Capt. A. Cumming ; the Topaz, 51, Capt. the H on.W . S. Spencer; and the Imperieuse, 50, Capt. John J. B. E. Frere. At noon the whole of the ships had come to an anchor about midbay. It was a noble sight to the spectator ashore to witness these magnificent specimens of naval architecture taking up their respective positions. Thousands of persons were, as on the last occa sion, attracted to the quays, and the bay has been every day studded with boats and steamers conveying excursionists around the vessels. By the kindness of the commanders the ships were again, subject to necessary regulations, thrown open to the public, and during the whole of the specified hours an immense number of visitors have availed them selves of the privilege. The Diadem and the Flying Fish got under way on Saturday morning and proceeded to Ply mouth, but the rest remain at anchor. DARING HOTEL ROBBERIES.—On Wednesday morning a gentleman (Mr. Winaerls, of Hillgay), staying at the Bath Hotel, in Yarmouth, with his wife, went out at half-past six o'clock to bathe, leaving his wife in bed. On returning in about half an hour he discovered that some persons had entered the room and carried off from the table the lady's gold watch and chain and a gold pin, which had been lying there. The alarm was given, but no clue could be obtained to the robbery, except that one of the ser vants had seen a strange individual on the staircase, who requested to be shown to a closet, and shortly atter, as the servant was coming out .of one of the rooms, was seen by her to put his head out of the closet and draw it in again. The police were sent for, and one officer looked round the house, and of course disct,vered nothing. It was afterwards found that a purse containing £9 4s. 6d. was taken at the same time from under the looking-glass on the dressing-table. On Thurs day morning a similar robbery was committed at the Royal Hotel, Norwich. A commercial traveller, Mr. W. Crigh ton, sleeping in the house, awoke at six o'clock, and looked at his watch, which hung from a hook above his head, and, having gone to sleep again, on awakening about seven o'clock, saw a man backing out of the bedroom, evidently watching the occupant of the bed to see whether he had been disturbed. Thinking some gentleman had entered his room by mistake, Mr. Crighton allowed him to leave it un questioned, but the next instant missing his watch rushed to the door, and seeing the person running as fast as he could down' the stairs, followed him, and ultimatelypursued him to the yard, where he was captured and brought back by some men. The watch was found on some boxes on the landing. The individual thus apprehended, who gave his name as Meyer Hirsch, a German, residing in London, and professed to be unable to speak English, was charged before the magistrates the same day, when one of the ser vants in the hotel stated that she saw the prisoner, after brushing his clothes in the passage, walk up stairs, after which she saw him upstairs, at the door of one of the rooms, and again a few minutes later at the bottom of the stairs, when ho followed her, and tried the door of one room and afterwards went to two others. The prisoner said another man was going down stairs at the same time as himself, dressed like himself. He was remanded for further inquiries.—bury and Norwich Post. The Irish greyhound is a remarkably fine animal, being four feet in length, and very firmly built. Its hair is of a pale fawn colour, and muck rougher than that of the smooth English greyhound. Unless excited by th e s i g ht of its game, or by anger, it i s a very peaceable animal ; but when roused, exhibits a most determined spirit. In former days, when wolves and wild boars infested the Irish forests, this dog was used for the purpose of extirpating those ani mals ; but in these days their numbers are comparatively few. When fighting, it takes its antagonist by the back, and shakes the life out of its fee by main strength. One of these dogs measured 61 inches in total length ; 281 inches from the toe to the top of the shoulder, and 35 inches in girth."—Routledge's Illustrated Natural History, by the Rev. J. G. Wood. AN EMPRESS AND HER HOTEL BILLS.—" The Empress Dowager of Russia," says the Avenir of Nice, " will arrive at this place in the beginning of October from Interlaken, where she is at present. Her Majesty has proved that, however rich sovereigns may be, they are not always disposed to submit to the extortionate demands of hotel keepers. When her Majesty passed through Basle two years ago, the landlord of one of the hotels there charged 17,000 f. for accommodating the Empress and her suite for a single night. The worthy innkeeper, on learning that her Majesty was coming to Switzerland, expected a second visit, but the Empress, on leaving gt. Petersburg, adopted a defensive strategy, by engaging several cooks, who go be fore and prepareher repasts in the towns where she intends to stop. This year, on passing through Basle, her Majes ty's dinner was prepared as usual beforehand, and served in one of the railway refreshment rooms." SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Share Railways. Paid.

The annual gathering of the institution of Mechanical Engineers, an association formed in the year 1847, was held at Leeds on Tuesday and yes terday. The proceedings commenced on Tuesday morning, when the members met together in the Civil Quirt, at the Town-hall, and various papers ere read and discussed. Mr. John Penn, of Lewisham, Kent, the president of the association, occupied the chair, and the attendance included several eminent engineers froth various parts of the kingdom. The following is a list of the papers read :—" On File-cutting Machinery," by Mr. Thos. Greenwood, of Leeds;" " On the Economy and Durability of some classes of Steam-boilers," by Mr. It. B. Longridge of Manchester; " Descrip tion of a Direct Acting Steam Crane," by Mr. Robt. Morrison, of Newcastle-on-Tyne ; " Description of a New Pressure Gauge," by Mr. Alexander Allan, of Perth ; and " Description of Haste's Safety Valve for Steam Boilers," by Mr. W. Naylor, of London. The members afterwards visited several of the principal manufactories of the town, includ ing the flax-mill of Messrs. Marshall and Co. In the evening a converzasione took place in the Vic toria-hall. Among the most interesting objects exhibited were Hattersley's type-composing ma chine, a very curious and ingenious invention; an atluospheric clock ; a collection of photographs, in cluding views of the birth-place of the late George Stephenson, and some of the early engines which he constructed ; and a collection of miscroscopical objects. Distributed in various parts of the hall there were also several models and drawings illus trative of recent improvements in steam engines, boilers, machinery, and tools, together with philo sophical apparatus and specimens of mechanical art generally. Yesterday morning the reading of papers was resumed in the Civil Court. The fol lowing is a list of the communications :—"on the Application of Super-heated Steam in Marine En gines," by the president; " Description of Fryer's Apparatus for Supplying Locomotive Tenders with Water," by Mr. James Fenton, of Low Moor, Brad ford ; " On the Construction of Steam Boilers," by Mr. Benjamin Goodfellow, of Manchester ; " On Improved Break Power for Stopping Railway Trains," by Mr. Alexander Allan, of Perth ; " De scription of a Steam Crane," by Mr. J. Campbell Evans, of London; and " Description of the Pump ing Engines at Arthington Waterworks, near Leeds," by Mr. Filliter, the Leeds borough sur veyor. The members of the society proceeded in the afternoon to Arthington to view the waterworks which belong to the Leeds corporlition, and in the evening they dined together at the Scarborough Hotel. To-day (Thursday) there will be an excur sion to Low Moor ironworks, and to Saltaire, the establishment of Mr. Titus Salt, M.P., which will terminate the proceedings in connection with the annual meeting of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. A VISIT TO BRIGHAM YOUNG, Mr. Horace Gretley, the editor of the New York Tribune, gives an account in his paper of a visit he paid to Brigham Young, and of the conversation he held with him on the doctrine of the Mormons. When Brigham Young stated that none of the ministers or bishops received salar . ies, Mr. Greeley asked, " How, then, do your ministers live ?' Brigham Young replied, " By the labour of their own hands, like the first apostles. Every bishop, every elder, may be daily seen at work in the field or the shop, like his neighbours ; every minister of the church has his proper calling, by which he earns the bread of his family; he who cannot or will not do the church's work for nothing is not wanted in her service ; even our lawyers (pointing to General Ferguson and another present), who are regular lawyers, of the church, are paid nothing for their services. lam the only person in the church who has not a rtgular calling apart from the church's service, and I never received one farthing from her treasury. If I obtain anything from the tithing house I am charged with and pay for it, just as any one else would ; the clerks in the tithing-store are paid like other clerks, but no one is ever paid for any service pertaining to the ministry. We think a man who cannot make his living aside from the ministry of Christ unsuited to that office. I am called rich, and consider myself worth 250;000 dols. ; but no dollar of it was ever paid me by the church, or for any service as a minister of the everlasting gospel." After reporting other questions and answers, Mr. Greeley says:—" As President Young is the first minister of the Mormon Church, and bore the prin cipal part in the conversation, I have reported his 'answers alone to my questions and observations. The others appeared uniformly to defer to his views, and to acquiesce fully in his responws and expla nations. He spoke readily, not always with gram matical accuracy, but with no appearance of hesita tion or reserve, and with no apparent desire to con ceal anything ; nor did he repel any of my questions as impertinent. He was very plainly dressed in thin summer clothing, and with no air of sanctimony or fanaticism. In appearance he is a portly, frank, good-natured, rather thick-set man of 55, seeming to enjoy life, and to be in no particular hurry to get to heaven. His associates are plain then, evi dently born and reared to a life of labour, and look ing as little like crafty hypocrites or swindlers as any body of men I ever met. The absence of cant or snuffle from their manner was marked and general, yet I think I may fairly say that their Mormonism has not impoverished them—that they were generally poor men when they embraced it, and are now in very comfortable circumstances—as men averaging three or four wives a piece certainly need to be. " If I hazard any criticisms on Mormonism gene rally, I,reserve them to a separate letter, being de termined to make this a fair and full exposé of the doctrine and polity, in the very words of its prophet, so far as I can_recall them. I do not believe Presi dent Young himself could present them in terms cal culated to render them less obnoxious to the Gentile world than the above. But I have a right to add here, because I said it to the assembled chiefs at the close of the above colluquy, that the degradation (or, if you please, the restriction) of woman to the single office of child-bearing and its accessories, is an ine vitable consequence of the system here paramount. I have not observed a sign in the streets, an adver tisement in the journals of this Mormon metropo lis, whereby a woman proposes to do anything what ever. No Mormon has ever cited to me his wife's, or any woman's opinion on any subject; no Mor mon woman has been introduced or has §poken to me ; and, though I have been asked to visit Mor mons in their houses, no one has spoken of his wife (or wives) desiring to see me, or his desiring me to Take her (or their) acquaintance, or voluntarily indicated the existence of such a being or beings. I will not attempt to report our talk on this sub ject, because, unlike what I have above given, it assumed somewhat the character of a disputation, and I could hardly give it impartially ; but one remark made by President Young I think I can give accurately, and it may serve as a sample of all that was offered on that side. It was in these words, I think, exactly—" If I did not consider myself competent to transact a certain business without taking my wife's or any woman's counsel with regard to it, I think I ought to let that busi ness alone.' The spirit, with regard to women, of the entire Mormon, as of all other polygamic systems, is fairly displayed in this avowal. Let any such system become established and prevalent, and women will soon be confined to the harem, and her appearance in the street with unveiled face will be accounted immodest." A RELIC OF ANCIENT EGYPT. One of the last weekly sittings of the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres was unusually interesting. The name of M. Mariette is already well known in the world of science and art. This young archaeologist has been for several years ex ploring various parts of Egypt, and the Museum of the Louvre possesses many relics of antiquity which his perseverance has rescued from the earth. But, on seeing him thus operating with such indus try and success, the Viceroy of Egypt began to think himself rather unwise to let his country be thus di.poiled for the advantage of European anti quarians. As he intended to erect at Cairo a build ing something like the French Palace of Industry, he wished to retain for that museum whatever Egyptian antiquities might be found for the future. Meanwhile M. Mariette discovered the tomb of a queen, princess, or some opulent personage of the olden times. Near the mummy of the departed was found a multitude of objects and ornaments, very valuable as to material, but still more so for their elegance, taste, and woi kmanship. This unexpected discovery was at once designated for the future museum of Cairo ; but as some of the articles re quired mending and cleaning, the Viceroy requested M. Mariette to dH g ce e u t ar it os thistheiti curiosities a wok ke thetoi f n r c;t e mp s t ea o rt r ien a u t i 11, o s t end of eh t xi h me e iwn tParis.he s French capital. It was i n that way that the Academy of Inscription s had the e t o n t s e h d o advantage of seeing spread out for its inspection an almost com plete Egyptian toil e t o f the time of Cleopatra, Semiramis, or some other celebrated beauty. There were coronets, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pins, rings, all of whi c h , for purity of design and form, elegance of ornamentation, and delicacy of worr:-.- manship, surpass all con ception. I doubt whether the ablest goldsmiths of the present day can surpass them. One of the most remarkable articles was a gold necklace, formed of bees with outspread wings, which must have produced a most charming effect on the neck of a pretty woman."—Le Nord. All the while this serio-comic conversation was going on, a workman in the coolest possible manner was working away at a most delicate little leg that would not have come off second best in the Judg ment of Paris—a faultless Balmoral boot, and the daintiest silk stocking 'covered proportions that Madame Vestris may have envied. . " These," said my companion, " are some of out first-class goods. Would you like to see the me chanism ? Goodge, pull down the stocking. With that the workman bared the limb, whilst my com panion put it through its paces. "This, you see, in our patent knee-cap and patella, and this the new vulcanised india-rubber tendon Achilles; here, in the instep, you will observe a spiral spring ele vating the toes, and if you will just observe (open ing a little trap-door in the back of the calf), here is an ingenious contrivance by which the bending of the knee elevates the front part of the foot, thus allowing it full play to swing forward clear of the ground." Certainly it was an admirable contrivance.,— " And can a man or woman progress easily with that arrangement ?" I said. " Do you know Lady ?" said he. " Yes." _ _ , " Nothing the matter there ?" he rejoined inter rogatively. I was obliged to confess, not to my knowledge. " That's her spare leg, nevertheless," he replied triumphantly. " Spare leg ! 'What do you mean ?" " Lord bless you! look into that cupboard. I have the spare members of half the town there duly labelled. Things will go wrong with the best con ducted limbs ; and to save difficulties we keep dup licates here which can be applied at the shortest notice. A gentleman, whom we will call Mr. Smith, once lost the pin out of his knee-joint, and sent here for his off-leg. A young lad up from the country sent him another Mr. Smith's box containing an arm —very awkward." " Will you allow me ?" said I, trying to read the names on the boxes. " Certainly not," said he, shutting the door and turning the key : " This is our Blue Beard's cup board, and I wouldn't allow even my wife to peep. But come and look at our hands." There they were—some clenched, some spread out, some in the act of holding, some gloved, and dis played like Vandykes, as if to challenge attention. " Now, what will they do ?" said I, almost doubt ful whether the clenched fist wouldn't strike. " Do anything," said he : "By means of the hook inserted in the palm, it can lift, or hold the reins, almost as well as the natural member. Ob serve the beautiful operation of the spring thumb imitating the grand privilege of man and monkey, by means of which it can grasp a fork, or lightly finger a toothpick." "Do you supply fingers and such small deer ?" I inquired. _ _ " Fingers, toes, noses, lips, — we take them as they come. A gentl eman w ith but one finger on his left hand came to us the other day, and asked to have the complement made up. We fitted on the rest, and attached them by means of a signet ring to the remaining finger—movement perfect,. you should see him pass his fingers through his hair — natural as life. The hand is a wonderful thing— that beats me—legs are mere A B C, but the hand! —Here," said he, recovering from his momentary admiration of nature, " here is a drawing of a pretty thing. A Hudson's Bay trapper had his hand bitten off by a bear, and came to us to re place it. " Do you want something really useful 1" said I. " Yes said he. " So I made him this dagger, fitting into his arm stump socket. He sleeps in his dagger. and finds it particularly handy when there are bears about. Look at the action of this spring and rachet-elbow ; you have only to touch the little button in the elbow, and the fore-arm closes as natural as life. Who would wear an empty sleeve when a member like this can be obtained ? We always recommend our arm and hand patients to wear a cloak neatly folded over it, as it prevents any attempt at hand shaking. We don't warrant the shake—the touch isn't quite natural."— Once a Week. THE COCKER SPANIEL A TIGER HUNTER. It is a courageous little creature, retaining its dashing boldness even when imported into the enervating Indian climate, which destroys the spirit of most dogs, and even reduces the stubborn bull-dog to a mere poltroon. Captain Williamson, in his book of " Oriental Field Sports," records an instance of rash courage on the part of one of these little dogs. " I was shooting near some underwood, rather thinly scattered among reedy grass, growing on the edges of a large water-course, which took its rise near the foot of the large hill at Muckun Gunge, when suddely one of a brace of fine cocking spaniels I had with me ran round a large bush greatly agitated, and apparently on some game which I expected to put up. I followed as fast as I could ; but Paris, which was the dog's name, was too quick for me, and before I could well get round the bush, which was about ten yards from the brink of the ravine, had come to a stand, his ears pricked, his tail wagging like lightning, and his whole frame in a seeming state of ecstasy. I expected that he had got a hare under the bank, and, as the situation was in favour of a shot, I ran towards him with more speed than I should have done had I known that instead of a hare, I should find, as I did, a tiger sitting on its rump, and staring Paris in the face. They were not above two yards asunder. As soon as the dog found me at his side, he barked, and giving a spring down dashed at the tiger. What happened for some moments I really cannot say ; the surprise and danger which sud denly affected me banished at once that presence of mind which many boast to possess on all emer gencies. I frankly confess that my senses were clouded, and that the tiger might have devoured me without my knowing a word of the matter. However, as soon as my fright had subsided I began, like a person waking from a dream, to look about, and saw the tiger cantering away at about a hundred and fifty yards' distance, with his tail erect, and followed by Paris, who kept barking ; but when the tiger arrived at a thick cover, he dis appeared. I had begun in my mind to compose a requiem for my poor dog, as I saw him chasing the tiger, which I expected every moment would turn about and let Paris know that he had caught , a Tartar. Though Paris had certainly brought me to the gate of destruction, yet he as certainly , saved me. I felt myself indebted to him for preserva tion, and consequently was not a little pleased to see him return safe."—.Routledge's Illustrated Natural History, by the Rev. J. G. Wood. TRACKING POWERS OP THE BLOOD HOUND. The magnificent animal which is termed the bloodhound, on account of its peculiar facility for tracking a wounded animal through all the mazes of its devious course, is very scarce in England, as there is but little need of these dogs for its chief employment. In the " good old times" this animal was largely used by . thief-takers, for the purpose of tracking and securing the robbers who in those days made the country unsafe, and laid the roads under a black mail. Sheep-stealers, who were much more common when the offence was visited with capital punishment, were fre quently detected by the delicate nose of the blood hound, which would, when once laid on the scent, follow it up with unerring precision, unravelling the single trail from among a hundred crossing I f \ n o ov o ast t aot s ek t mr e e p e ha s so, long and lomdnsigl na lro o e anfs fashion, only hinn t it ot o , ona b t:n e hhde b e w a fm f fiat may yee d r s,h b ean y tnn te ' a d gad t e e met r fiao o anu r ntci b sae lo ga t hb o a nete . p the b loodhound's deliae nose. oifa cto e f s b o l o f o dt the animal e sp lt uponthe a track,tively are blunted, and it is no longer able to f o ll ow the comparatively weak scent which is left - theb b retreating footsteps.

In this country the bloodhoi mnd is chiefly employed in deer-shooting, aiding t he sportsman by singling out some animal, and keep ing it ever before him, and by driving it in certain directions, giving to its master an opportunilzy for a shot from his rifle. Should the deer not fall:to the shot, but be only mounded, it dashes off at a greatly increased pace, followed by the bloodhohnd, I,c h ich here displays his q ualities. Being guided by th e blood-drops that stud the path of the wounded ani mal, the hound has an easy task in keeping the trail, and by dint of persevering exertion is sure to come up with his prey at last. The bloodhout id is generally irascible in temper , and , therefore, a . ra ther dangerous animal to be meddled with by any one ex cepting its owner. So fierce is its deur* 3 for blood, and so utterly is it excited when it ret‘ches its prey, that it will often keep its master a t bay when he approaches, and receive his overture s wit it such unmistakeable indications of anger that, Jae 17;111 not venture to approach until his dog has satisfied r c o ase n d. v of the e an imal whist} i it i b t a s s a b p r p o e u t g it h e t on to tl ca the g r u fairly ou the track of the deer the bloodhound utters a pecT ajar, long, loud, and deer bay, which, if once hea r d, will never be forgott en .
