Mrs. Planter, who is about the same age as the prisoner, was fashionably attired. She stated that her husband was formerly a mariner, and that she was now the landlady of the Blacksmiths' Arms, Brook-street, Ratcliff. She married the defendant three years ego, and she was then a widow, and possessed of £450. The prisoner soon expended the greater part of it in dissipation. He at last persuaded her to take a public-house, and promised to be careful and not spend her money. When they took the Blacksmiths' Arms he began to ill-use her and beat her. He pawned her plate, raised £l5 upon it, and remained away for a fortnight. He beat her and kicked her in a most brutal manner on Friday week last, and would have murdered her but for the interference of her servant. She found him a few days ago, and in company with a young prostitute, near the Surrey Theatre. She asked him for her watch, which he refused to give ber, and kicked her on the back, for which she took out a warrant His inhumanity had ben very great, and he was once committed for one mont h by Mr. Yardley, for a savage assault upon her. In cross-examination by the defendant, Mrs. Planter said ehe had been married to four husbands, and did not know what bad become of two of diem. One of them, named Jack Hands was in Australia. Sh e had indicted him for bigamy at the 'Central Criminal Court, anti he was acquitted. She might have lived with one only a fortnight. Would not swear she hail not lived with other m en. She gave the pri• soner into custody at Bow-street. Mr. Selfe—What for ? The complainant fenced with the question a long time, and then admitted that it WAS for steeling her watch. Mr. Selfe—Don't you know your husband can't be charged with robbing you? Mrs. Planter—Well, I don't know. Mr. Planter said he had been inveigled into an unfor tunate marriage with an infamous woman, and once con victed, on perjured evidence, of an assault. This was an attempt on the part of the woman and her servant to get him hack to the house. Mr. Selfe—One would rather think the woman would be glad to get rid of you. I can't place much reliance on what she says after the manner in which she has given her evi dence. Anna Sullivan confirmed the evidence of her mistress as to the beating an 1 kicking. Roche, the gaeler of the c .urt, knew that Mrs. Harris— he meant Planter—lied nine husbands—(sensatio n ) —but con'd not say she was married to all of them. She bad hien at that court for defrauding sailors, and because li (Roche) relived her true character she had th r eatened hien, e and was held to bail by Mr. Yardley. Mr. Selfe knew the complainant too well 'in that court. No good could result in the defendant ever living with his wife. He held him to bail to keep the peace in his own recognisance, and advised him to g.) to .9ea _again as soon as possible, nounce to e so long s from the relinquish say an9' )en.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were fairly sup plied with wheat in excellent condition. For most kinds there was a steady inquiry, at full prices. Barley and oats realised extreme rates, with a fair demand. All other articles were very firm in pece. The Contirental markets have exhibited very few changes of late. The transae:,ions in grain for ship.vent have tot been to say extensive. In the United States both wheat and flour have com manded very full prices. The arrivnls of English produce up to our market last week were only moderate. The imports from abroad were liberal, viz., 20,7 5 qrs of wheat, 15,05 i barley, 62,213 oats, 1,20 beaes, 1,215 peas, 5,200 linseed, 2,200 rapeseed, 10 mustardleed. 20 canary seed, 0,350 In dian corn, 120 sacks and 1,011 barrels of flour. Fresh up, to-day, coastwise and by land-carriage, a moderate supply of both old and new English wheat came to hand. The gene ral quality of the samples was good. For nearly all kinds the de mand ruled somewhat inactive, notwithstanding that most of the millers hold very light stecks, even for the time of ye ar, at prices about equal to those current ou Monday last. Good and fine foreign wheats were mostly disposed of, without difficulty, at full quotations. In to s and damp qualities, the show of wheat was large, very little was doing, on former terms. The few samples of English barley in the market were readily disposed of at full quotations. Foreign barley was quite as dear as last week. We had a fair inquiry for malt, and late rates were well sup ported. The show of samples was good. The show of foreign oats was again very large ; nevertheless, good sound corn changed hands freely, at full prices. Inferior oats, from Russia, were less active. Beans were in short supply and fair request, at full prices. The supply of peas was limited, and sales were effected at full quota tions. The new samples of both beans and peas were in very poor condition. TATTEI?SALL'S THIS EVENING. ...______... Most kinds of flour moved off steadily, at last week's currency.

SPORTING NOTES. RETROSPECT OF YORK AND EGIIA.M ANTICIPATIONS. The York committee will perhaps now set their wits to work in revising their most unintelligible programme, and in altering their equally incomprehensible conditions. All, too, who participated in the tedious amount of sport run through on the Thursday, will echo the cry that in order to maintain the success of the meeting it must be extended to four days. Admiral nous, in a letter to a sporting contemporary, justly remarks, "some of the York literary effusions require legal interpretation ;" and the truth of this statement was strikingly exemplified in the second North of England Biennial Stakes, wherein Gildermire actually received weight from everything else, because, although an extensive winner in 1857, the condi tions stipulated the allowance for " never having won in 1858," and notwithstanding that the York luminaries, when they perceived their error, refused the allowance of weight to Aldcroft at the scale, the stewards, upon being appealed to, felt themselves compelled, according to the conditions, to deduct the Sib. The loose wording of the penalties for the Ebor also led to much discussion, and had not the Roman Candle been scratched, the sporting press would have been endlessly bored by countless questions and the time of the stewards occuLied by numerous disputes respecting the penalties he had incurred. Again, the handicap should not be published earlier than at the most a month before running, whereas the weights fer the Ebor appeared on the Ist July, and the race was run on the 10th Aug. What has been the conse quence ? The Roman Candle wins the Liverpool Cup and the Goodwood Stakes, and thereby entirely spoils the bet ting upon his York engagement. In the hope that the evil may next year be remedied, I proceed briefly to consider the issues of the sport. The first rubber was won by the Melton Stable with the aid of Cheery Chap, and the open ing day's sport was further remarkable for the admirable dis play of jockeysbip by Sam Rogers upon the Argosy in the Yorkshire Oaks. Waiting with extraordinary patience until the centreof the stand enclosure he literally stole the race from his opponents, and landed the popular alderman's colours vic torious, amid an ovation that Yorkshirernen only know how to deliver. The American horse Babylon scored his first win in the Chesterfield, and Rainbow failed to give Caven dish the weight in the Convivial. Fisherman beat Ignora mus, who was as " fat as a bull," in a canter, and Mr. Parr must now see his error in not starting either Kelpie or Odd Trick, to make 'tinning for the " old horse" in the Stewards' Plate at Stockbridge. Thursday's sport, as already remarked, was tedious in the extreme, although productive of some interesting in cidents. The opening event—the Lottery Plate—was notable for one of those glaring cases of " roping" which is calculated to bring the turf into disrepute with the public. The stewards at once suspended J. Snowden from again riding at York, and it would have been as well had they carried their prohibition to extreme limits. I cannot, sir, understand, however, why the boy should be punished and the trainer only " reprimanded ;" for on the delinquent's own declaration he merely "rode to orders." Rainbow having carried off the Rawcliffe Produce Stakes, the Ebor Handicap stood next on the card, and 13 out of the 18 coloured went to the post. The result, as everybody knows, was never in doubt, the favourite, who came away at the mid-distance, winning in the commonest of canters, little Challoner alone considerately making a show of a finish upon Tunstall Maid, for the gratification of the "Tykes," whose ovation at the success of the "spots" showed that Lord Zetland has lost none of his popularity. The two year-old race which followed was won by Indifference, the only animal in the race who seemed capable of moving in the dirt, and Lord Chesterfield's good-looking son of Orlando carried off the Prince of Wales's Stakes. Sir C. Monck, with the aid of Gamester, won both the next two events, and Mr. Merry's Terrona filly having placed the Sapling to her owner's credit, I left Knaves mire amid a most drenching fall of rain. Friday's racing was remarkable for the dead heat between Rainbow and Cavendish in the Gimcrack ; notable also for a second display of Sam Rogers's skill ; but the de ciding heat told the tale of Cavendish's want of condition, which, with the extra weight, compelled him to succumb to his grey opponent. Gildermire repeated her performance(!) in the Dee Stakes, by allowing Tunstall Maid to carry off the Great Yorkshire, and Lord of the Manor won the valuable olt Sapling Stakes. The future event bettiog calls for some notice. Toxophilite received fresh support, and on Wednesday morning an offer of 3,000 to 1,000 against him was eagerly snapped at. For the Derby, Rainbow and Cavendish were brought to the front list of quotations ; and Gamester, Volcano, Lord of the Manor, and Malachite were also quietly nibbled at. Egham commences to-morrow, and Mr. Edward Hibburd, with his usual tact, has compiled an excellent programme. Five races are set for each day. The Surrey and Middlesex niche chief event, and should Relapse nst be again stopped, I see nothing to beat her, although Courier's pretensions are wor h consideration. King-at-Arms, with his slb allowance, ought surely to win the King John Stakes, and the other two-year-old race—the Barons' Stakes—locks well for Miss Flatrnan o^ Press Forward. In the Runymede Stakes the handicapper has tkalt lightly with Brit swick and South Western, one of which will furnish tue wince; . Tut ci Lc: races have yet to fill. I defer notice of Stockton, which occupies Thursday and Friday, until my next communica ,on A FRESH MAN. DEATH OF MR. J. P. HARLEY. Almost the last of that refulgent phalanx of the drama, wbo were trained up under the auspices of Kemble, at Covent-garden, or on the opposite stage of Old Drury, and were known as the Shakspeare School—almost the last of this academy—expired yesterday at half-past four. The public will learn with deep regret that the veteran actor and popular favourite, Mr. Harley, was suddenly struck with paralysis, while performing his character if Launcelst Gobbo, in "The Merchant of Venice," at the Princess's, in Friday evening, with all the vigour and briskness for which he was noted, and which is so rarely met at the advanced age to which he had attained. On leasing Oe s' age, at the con clusion of his scene in the second act, he was observed to stagger, and, being about to fall, was supported by Mr. G. Ellis, the stage-director. Medical aid was immediately pro cured, and he was conveyed with all care to his residence in Gower-street. He was fur a brief time sensible, si much so, indeed, as, on being asked the name of his medical adviser, to reply, " I never Lad a doctor in my life," but soon after being put to bed he lost all power of consciousness, save an occasional recognition of Mr. Ellis or his sister, whom he addressed by a fond, familiar voice, and who, it is unnecessary to say, though painfully affected, was unremitting in her attention to the very moment of his death, which occurred yesterday afternoon at half-past four o'clock. Few men have enjeyod a longer life of unintrrrup'ed Ilealth and spirits than John Pritt llarley. Born in Lon don in the month of February, 1700, he adopted the stage as a profession at an early age, and after the usual appren ticeship to the stage through various country theatres, be made his metropolitan debut at the English Opira House (now the Lyceum), on the 15th of July, 1815, in the cha racter of 111 arcelli, in the " Devil's Bridge," and Peter Fidget in " The Boarding House." On the 16th September following lie appeared for the first time on the boards of Drury-lane Theatre, in the character of Lissardo in "The Wonder." Since then be has ranked and maintained a high position in the first theatres of the metropolis, as a comedian of infinite fun and drollery. The last original character in which lie appeared was Sir Peter Pounce, in Mr. Stirling Coyne and Coape's farce of " Samuel in Search of Himself," at the Princess's Theatre. Mr. Harley was chairman of the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund. He was never married. NOVEL ROWING MATCII.—A grand sporting rowing match came off on the 18th instant, at half-past five o'clock p.m., on the Clyde, opposite Mr. Banks M'Neil's boat building establishment, Glasgow, betwixt two blind men in one boat and two seeing sturdy young men in the other. The length, from the starting-post to Rutherglen-bridge and back was accomplished by the blind men, who came in before their opponents about 200 yards, in 7 minutes 40 seconds. This grand and long-expected match created much excitement amongst the Green visitors and the spectators interested in the match. Messrs. Banks M'Neil and Campbell afforded the blind competitors every accommodation possible, beside s giving every support and eclat to the rowing match, in order to please the numerous spectatcrs assembled. ENIIGItATION.—III the 43 years, from 1815 to 1857 inclusive, there emigrated from the United Kingdom 4,683,194. Of these 2,830,687 went to the United States, 1,170,342 to British North America, 613,615 to Australia an 1 New Zealand, and 68,550 to other places . Of the whole emigration more thou one-half, viz.,1,4-14,802, emirated in the eight years from 1847 to 1854 i n clusive. In 1855 and 1856 the emigration fell to 1 7 6 , 807 a nd 176,554 respectively, principally in consequence of the demand for the army and navy and the departments connecte d with themduring the Russian war, and iu 1857 the num bers rose to 21 2,875.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. To-day's market was fairly supplisd with each kind of foreign stock as to number, but its general quality was very inferior. About an average time-of-Year supply of home-fed beasts was on offer, and their condition was by no means first-rate. For nearly all breeds, but more especially for the primest S cots and short horns, we had an active inquiry, at fully Thursday's improvement in the quotations. The general top figure for beef was as. led., but very prime breeds realised ss. per Sits. From Lincolnshire, Leices tershire, and Northamptonshire, we received 2,400 short-horns ; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 40 Scots; and from Ireland. 400 oxen, dfc. There was a very middling show of sheep, and a great scarcity of prime amongst it. The mutton trade was decidedly active, at fully 2c l , per Sibs. above the prices current on Monday last. Very prime old downs sold at ss. per Blbs.—the general top figure for mutton being 4s. 10d. per 81bs. Lambs—the supply of wlech was only moderate—were by no means so active as on Thursday ; nevertheless that day's advance in the quotations was supported. About 800 sheep and lambs reached us from Ireland. There was only a moderate inquiry for calves at about stationary prices.

Since our last the transactions in all kinds of hops have been un usually limited, and to force sales of most kinds—as picking of the new crop will shortly become general—lower prices must be sub- mitted to. The plantation accounts are favourable, and the duty is fully backed at 4240,000. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Our markets continue to be somewhat heavily supplied with most kinds of poZ , atoes, the general quality of which is good. Rather a large business is doing, as follows :—Regents, SOs. to 1005. ; Shaws, fiOs. to 80s. ; Arid inferior. 40s. to 50'. per ton. No foreign potatoes ea ne to Land last Week. The reports I'c:sleeting the crop arc very favourable. WOOL MARKET. The colonial wool sales held since our last have been fairly attended. All good and fine wools have realised full prices, but low qualities have ruled somewhat heavy.

SEEDS. The demand for linseed continues inactive, yet we have very little change to notice in its value. Rapeseed is dull, and prices have a downward tendency. Red clover seed is in fair demand, at very full prices, but in White very little is doing. Canary, mustard, and tares support former terms. Cakes have sold to a fair extent, at late rates.

CAPTURE of 300 WHALES.—Last week was un usually exciting in variousof the Orkney Islands, large shoals of whales having made their appearance. At Rothiesholtn, Stronsay, on Wednesday, a large " school " made its appear ance, and the greater part of the inhabitants of the district turned out, armed with all manner of lethal weapons, and the result of that day's exertions was the handsome capture of 80 whales, some of them of considerable size. On Friday they were sold, in czonttio, by Mr. Malcolm Green, and realise.' a high price. On Thursday, at the Sand of Bea, in the Island of Sauday, hundreds of whales appeared, and were the signal for a simultaneous onslaught by old and young, male and female, of the locality. The scene was both amus ing and exciting. After a large body had been embayed and driven into shoal water by means of small boats, an indis criminate slanghter took place, amid the most admired confusion, terminating in the death of no fewer than 220 whales, bling the largest capture for a number of years.— Northern Ensign. THE END OF AN AERONAUT. M. Poitevin, the intrepid aeronaut, whose excursions on horseback caused so much excitement in London, has met the fate of several of his predecessors. He fell into the sea near Malaga, when descending with his }abort, and was drowned. THE M RESTS, (From the Inverness Courier.) The 12th opened inauspiciously. Rain fell heavily from about four in the marring, and continued generally over the country dur'ng the greater part of the day. The air was heavily charged wi h electricity, which brake out the same night in a thunder storm of unusual violence. The sport upon the moors turned out better than was expected, the returns which we are enabled to subjoin confirming what we said last week of the prospects of the season. On the high grounds, grouse have been almost universally allowed a jubilee. They suffered greatly last year, and have not, unfortunately, had a favourable season for recovering. At one time the broods promised as well as upon the low grounds, but drought and tremendous rains destroyed nearly all the young birds. Proprietors generally have, therefore, resolved not to shoot on the high ground at all this year. The sub- joined reports, for which we are indebted to many sportsmen and friends, and especially to Mr. Snowie, of Inverness, are nearly all from low-lying moors, and it will be seen that the sport has been in some instances really good, and in all a full average :-Mr. John B. Baillie, on the 12th, at Gask, shot 10 brace; Mr. F. Palmer, at Lochletter, on the 12th, 14 brace; Mr. W. Morris and Mr. N. Morris, on the nth, at Moybeg, 46 brace; Mr. Campbell, at Dunearn, on the 12th, 32 brace ; Mr. F. L. Brodenbam, after 1 one o'clock, p. m., on the 12th, at Nuide, shot 37 brace. General Cracklow, at Culduthel, on the 12:h, shot 13 brace, and four snipe; Mr. H. H. Martin and Mr. Mills, at Erregie, on the 12th, shot 15k brace. Sir Francis Sykes, Bart., at Strathmashie, on the 12th, 15 brace. Mr. Macnab, of Dalclaully, on the 12th, bagged 61 brace, and on the 14th , 93 brace. At Glenshlero Lodge, Capt. Edwards bagged 19 brace ; Sir L. Pilkington, 19k brace ; and Mr. Stackey, 15 brace. Col. Fraser, at Cantray, on the 12th, killed 8 brace, and on the 13th, 101 brace. On the 13th, the Messrs. Mor ris, at Moybeg, shot 521 brace; Mr. J. Barnard, M.P., and Mr. J. Whitbread, M.P., on the 12th, at Largs, shot 15 brace, 1 hare, 11 ducks, and 2 snipes; and on the 16th tkey bagged 28 brace, 6 hares. and 1 snipe. Major Hirst, at Clare, on the 12th, had 13 brace. Mr. E. Mackintosh, and friend, at Corrybroughmore, on the 13th, shot 20 brace. At Aldourie, on the 12th, the gamekeeper shot 9 brace. At Skibo, on the 12th, Mr. Kinloch and Capt. Baird, R.N., shot 15 brace. At Rhifail, on the 12th, Mr. A. Bonham Carter shot 13 brace. On the 12th Mr. Henderson and party (3 guns), at Toftingall, 50 brace, and on the 13th, on the same ground, with two guns, 301 brace. On the 12th, at Strathmore, Mr. Dawson, 261 brace, and 2 snipe; and Mr. Hatcher, 171 brace, 2 snipe, and I,hare ; Mr. Hughes and Mr. Shaw, on the same ground, bad 18 brace. On the 13th, after one o'clock, Mr. Dawson and Mr. Hatcher shot, the former gentleman 231 brace, the latter 15 brace. On the Moy moors, Dr. Smith, on the 12th, shot 20 brace, and Mr. Dunbar, after two o'clock, shot 15 brace and 1 hare. At Dunphail, Major Cumming Bruce, M.P., and the Hon. Col. Bruce, on the 12th, killed 18 brace, on the 14th 30 brace, and 8 hares, and on the 16th 20k brace, and 8 hares. On Upper Altyre, Mr. E. Smith, and Mr H. Gordon Cumming had 27 brace on the 14th. Mr. Trotter, of Morton Hall, and Mr. Henry Trotter, on the 16th, killed 14 brace and 2 hares. Our Morayshire corre spondent adds-" The birds are strong and healthy here, and more in number than they have been for the last three years." On the 13th Sir George Brown, and Mr. W. Brown, Linkwood, after a few hours' shootieg, bagged 81 brace; at Knockando, Mr. Cayley and friend, on the 12th, bad 23 brace. At the Cluny shootings, Raiford, Mr. Grant of Kincorth, on the 12th, had 4 brace, and 1 hare. On the Dallas hills, Mr. A. K. George, and party, on the 12th, bagged 50 brace. From Tulcheu Lodge, on the Spey, Mr. Wynne Williams writes:- " I have been out only one day and a-half, and killed 43 brace. lam happy to say I find the birds more plen tiful than I expected. There are large and strong broods." At Carrbridge, on the 12th, Lord Scarsdale bagged 71 brace, 1 snipe, and 2 hares; and on the 13th, 10k brace, 2 snipes, and 3 ducks. Capt. Holden and friend, on the 12th, bad 13 brace and 2 hares; and on the 13th, 10/ brace. At Advic, on the 12th, Mr. Munn had 48 brace.

Mr. Arthur Wig - ram, and Mr. J. Arkwright, on the 13th, shot 16 brace of grouse, and on the IGth,lB brace of grouse 2 snipes, and 2 woodcocks, at Clune. A correspondent in Laggan (Badenoch), says :—" The gentlemen who have come here had reason to be satisfied with their first day's sport. Twenty brace was the average that fell to eight or ten guns on different moors." Mr. White of Monar shot a fine stag a few days ago, with four tines an the one side and five on the other. The antlers were still in velvet, but bard to the top, and measured 32 inches in length, with a span of the same dimensions. Tile stag was as fat as might be looked for at the end of Sep tember. At Lochinver, SutherlandThire, the 12th was ushered in with heavy rain, and nothing could be done on the moors till mid-lay, when the sun came out, and the beat was ex- wissive. Mr. J. F. liazlehttrat bagged 131 brace grouse in f 9 ,1, 1 0!!:,-. Tia gr.:_.!c ::pper.r to b.., very numerous and healthy. The same gentleman brought down last week two fine stags right and left. The fishing on the rivers has been a failure both in angling and netting. We have had our usuni visits of yachts, and among others the Undine, with his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, on his annual tour among his tenantry. The Lasde, with Mr. E. Ellice, M.P., on a fishing excursion. The Edela, on her way to Stornoway, with Mr. Colville; and the Volante with Mr. Birch and party. The Perthshire Courier says :—Although a week has elapsed since the opening of the shooting season, the accounts from the Perthshire moors have been extremely meagre; bat generally they are satisfactory. The morning of the Mt was misty and rainy, so that few sportsmen could get abroad at an early hour. It appears that the birds are found to be strong on the wing, but a good deal more plentiful tha❑ last year, although still deficient if compared with the numbers of previous years. No traces of disease have been ebservable, which is a very good sign. As far as we can learn, the average number of birds killed per gun over the different moors on the 12th would be from 10 to 30 brace. Mr. W. S. Crawford and party at Dal maspidal had excellent sport, having killed 202 brace of grouse after mid-day on Tuesday. Capt Egerton at Talladh a'Beithe, shot H brace ; and Mr. Maxton, 15 brace. On the Tarvie moor of Donavourd, Mr. Mark Na pi:r and party bagged 411 brace of grouse, 13 blue hares, ' and 2 rabbits, as the result cf their sport on the 14th and 16th, Saturday and Monday last. The birds in that quarter were found healthy, but strong on the wing, and more scarce than usual. Mr. George Kelly M'Callum, of Brace, and party, shot on the 12th 45 brace of grouse after twelve o'clock, and on the day following 30 brace. The party on the Glengowlandic shootings were agreeably surprised with their sport, which considerably exceeded their expectations. Mr. Reid, Cluny House, Strathtay, shot 6 brace during the first two hours he was on the. hill. Mr. Carter, at Rollallion, met with fair sport. It is stated that the grouse on all the high moors in Athole and Badenech, though free of disease , are scarce, the heavy falls of snow and frost in May having destroyed the embryo broods, and driven the old birds to the low grounds for shelter. However , the few existing coveys contain from six to ten young birds; and have not been more healthy for several years. We may only add that the quantity of game which has passed through Perth from the north during the week has been very considerable, and exceeding the quantity of last year for the same period. The Stirling Journal says:—The sport on the moors in this 1 neighbourhood has been very promising since the 12th. The birds are numerous and in excellent condition. On the 13th inst., Mr. Basil Fisher, Sauchie House, bagged 151 brace in 41 hours; on the 14th, 171 brace ; and on the 16th 24 brace. On the 16th Messrs. Jopp and Scott killed 24 brace on Bal gair moor. Mr. W. L. Ewing, of Arugomery, bagged 10 brace on the 16th. Mr. G. K. M`Callum, of Braco, and party, succeeded on the 12th in bagging 45 brace, and on the 13th 3 brace and 4 hares. Mr. Watt from Glasgow killed, on the 12th, 81 brace, and on the 16th 15 brace, on Craigengelt moor. On the 12th and two following days, Capt. Christie of the Ist Royals, and a friend, bagged 44 brace on Touchadam moor. Mr. Campbell of Boquhan, Mr. Fletcher of Saltown, and Mr. Fletcher, jun., have had ex cellent sport on Boquhan moors; and we understand that good sport has also been obtained by several gentlemen on Gargannock moor. Mr. Lees and party shot, on Kilbryde moors, on the 12th, 24 brace, 13th, 40 do,, 14th, 41 do., 16th, 37 do., 17th, 12 do.-154 brace in all. Altogether the season, so far as it has gone, has been most satisfactory. —A correspondent from Dunkeld writes:—Thursday, the 12th, being wet, very few sportsmen were able to go out. The 13. h was but an indifferent day also. The Earl of Wemyss, on the Grandtully moor, killed, on the 13th, 76 brace and two hares. The Hon. J. C. Dundas, on the Glenqueich moor, killed 541 brace and two hares on the 12th; 481 brace and 4 hares on the 13th; 35 brace and 3 hares on the 14th ; and 31 brace and '2 bares on the 16th. Mr. Flildyard, on the Curriemuckloch moor, killed 40 brace en the 12th, and 35 brace en the 13th. Mr. Litinsden, Kinlocb, and his party (3 guns) have been killing some 60 to 70 brace per day. The birds are very strong, no disease, and in better e.ondition than they have been fur many years, and there is not that disposition for making large bags the first day or two has usually been the case.—Our Comvir correspondent says :—Notwithstan din g the un propitious state of the weather on the " t we lfth," we learn that on his hill at Brae of For die, Mr. 1). R. Williamson, of Lagers, bagged to his own gun 33 brace of grouse ; and on the 14th, other 28i brace on C,osievrachan bill. These figures not only indicate a " good shot," but show that there is no scarcity of birds. At Innergeldy, Mr. Alextuider Haig, of Elairhlll, has brought down at an average 16 brace a-day ; whilst on the Glenartney moors, two gentlemen secured on Friday 40 brace. The" Twelfth" was ushered in, says the Durham County Chronicle, by the nest favourable weather, and sportsmen bad every opportunity of enjoying a good " opening day.' On the moors in this neighbourhood the birdsodaareilardepsoorimede as numerous and strong. A party of gentlemen from thi s city were out on the Wolsiugham moors very good sport, the heaviest bag being made by Capt. R. A. Burrell, who shot 28 brace, the others being something near that mark. Mr. G. Gregson has bad some unpre cedented sport at his moors in the west, and had some very heavy bags daily. The accounts from some of the Scotch moors speak in the most favourable terms of the success of the various sportsmen engaged on them, and no doubt, since Thursday se'nnight. the blood of many a brace has "stained the heather." The birds were never in better condition or more plentiful than during the present season on Bowes moors. On the 12th, the best bag was made by Mr. T. Clarkson, of Bowes, who shot 45 brace. Mr. M. Headlam killed 29 brace; Mr. L. Dent, 27 brace; and many bags were made from 19 to 26 brace each. IMPROVEMENT IN THE PARKS. Whatever there is of embellishment in our parks has been accomplished within ten years, and the administration in that department by Sir Benjamin Hall has met the approval of all. The cleansing ef St. James's canal, the erection of the Suspension-bridge (or rather causeway), the girding of Hyde-park with shrubbed plantations and walks of floral borders—the like adornment of the Green-park along Piccadilly, are all due to the activity and taste of Sir Benjamin. In these particulars he may be said to have performed a Herculean labour, for these works transcend all that has been done by all his predecessors. The office of national gardener is, however, one that changes with the Administration, so that there is little hope for a continu ation of those services which have so much contributed to the public health and satisfaction. A chief commissioner may arise again who, imbued with the spirit of improve ment and the capacity to carry it out, may emulate the example; but if the genius is not in the man, a nomination by the Cabinet to a post of £1,500 a-year cannot create it for him. The Serpentine, now a pestilential pond, festers in the midst of Hyde-park. How is it to be expurgated ? Not by throwing In 100 sacks of quicklime ; that may for a season stay the plague ; it mast be drained off, brought to an equa ble level, and concreted ; moreover, it must have, like kit. James's-park, a supply of artesian well water. There is for the prefent a stagnation of improvement both by land and water, for little la in progress throughout those public domains, and what little we bzhold appears as point less as unnecessary. There is a wide walk extending from the Arch-Duke at Hyde-park corner to Buckingham Palace, within the park rails ; it was wide, and not being at any time thronged, was of sufficient latitude; yet on this walk there are some thirty labourers employed in doubling its width, and thus reducing the verdure which is the charm of the park. Therefore all beholders consider the change net beneficial, but, on the contrary, ill-judged. Another theatre of immense labour, continued now for six months, perplexes and puzzles all frequenters of the parks. It is perhaps not under the surveillance of our Chief Commis sioner ; but we cannot forbear from noticing the vandalism which is there in daily perpetration. The beautiful expanse of grounds lately thrown open to Kensington-gore led us to hope that the splendid shrubs and trees with which 100 acres were studded, and the wide lawn, showing a con tinued slope of greensward for nearly half-a-mile to the Cromwe;l-road, would have been preserved in their wood land beauty. Not so; this slope, which descends at a gra dient of 5 in 100 from the acre-road southward, has been opened for about 400 feet along that road. A dwarf paling bounds it, over which are seen 100 or more carts daily de positing earth or rubbish, in order to carry out a level ter race over ne rich slope. Already the mass deposited ex tends 200 feet from the park side, and rises to a height of 11 feet over the submerged mead. By signal posts It Is demarcated that the terrace or embankment is to be continued further to the extent of 500 feet altogether, at which dis tance the level will overtop the new park by an elevation of 25 feet. The accumulation of earth has wholly buried numerous magnificent shrubs (Lady Blessiagton's parterre amongst them), the most thriving and luxuriant of all. The forest trees have been preserved by upright cai•sons of collars of dry brickwork, which may fur a few seasons sus pend total extinction ; still at a depth of 20 feet the strongest tree must soon perish. What poetic creation of terraces may be designed, we know not ; but as viewed from above, nothing could more effectually destroy an enchanting shrubbery—ready made, too. As viewed from below, nothing more hideous coull be interposed to mar a sylvan scene, which connected a long vista with the groves of Kensington-gardens. It may be that a Dutch, or German, or Italian hang ing-garden is meditated; or, possibly, some Montagnes Russes on an extensive scale, or Tarpeian rocks, or Alpine imitations. Nothing can compensate for the de molition of shrubberies which were the result of time and Laste and liberal outlay. Artifices s') unnatural as towering rectilinear and graduated terraces. are utterly un-EnglOt. The 117. r cs Lax - . made such mounds throughout this country, and they are always regarded as the exploits of Goths or Vandals. Kensington-gardens shows us the first example o!' flower walks in the public parks. This improvement was made in the present reign. King William 111. having purchased the small angular strip, about 25 acres, built the Palace and added it to Hyde-park. Queen Anne it was who first planted tlra whole design as we now have it. Queen Caroline, in the reign of Georgel., formed the Serpentine, dividing the Palace grounds from the open park by a sunken fosse and wall, thus adding 300 acres to the gardens or private grounds, the haha, now ex • tending from the Bayswater-road to the powder magazine, remaining identically as it was then formed. Many are the changes of form and fashion in Hyde-park since its first seizure by Henry VIII., when it was part of the possessions of the Monastery of St. Peter, Westminster. The drive has been ever changing; first from the central ring to a'ongside Park-lane, then to the margin of the Ser pentine, sow to the Kensington side. Rottenrow, the arena for equestrianism of both sexes, is a creation of the present reign ; the solid bridge of masonry, like the dry cascade, was built in the reign of George IV. ; the Knightsbridge Barracks in that of George 111., when the guard-bouse infantry was also intruded upon the very centre, the most beautiful and sequestered portion of it. When the lodge—falsely called the Ranger's-lodge—was built is doubtfal ; but the interval between that enclosure of about eight acres and the Infantry Barrack was fenced off as a rummage or stockyard in the time of George 111. These three reserves, ill kept and mean as they are, destroy the effect of these most pleasing grounds. There is an open and airy lightness peculiar to this park beyond all other. The pro spect includes the Surrey-hills, and though o n ly moderately elevated, there is a lightness in the air savouring of the Downs. It is high time that the ill-fmoured buildings and hovels of barracks, timber-sheds, and ranger's cottage patronage, should give place to the requirements of the citizens of London. If need be to provide a ruinous villa, with ten acres of garden and meadow, for a favourite retired servant, a penny subscription by the public would compass the pur chase in three months. The writer will undertake to sub stitute a freehold to that extent within seven miles of Lon don, in every sense more convenient and better, if his Grace the Ranger will consent to the terms, and forego the nomi nation of a resident deputy. The occasion of repairing an old blemish has now arrived, as the late occupant is de ceased, and no concession to public tastes and uses could he more popular than the fuiion of these enclosures into a free park. Other points there are about this park which require im provement. In the angle next Kensington, the old brick hovel, -lately used as Light Cavalry Barracks, are a sad spectacle of decrepitude and bad taste. It ought to Le :e -moved, if only to admit daylight. Lately, at the new entrance, opposite Prince Albert's Road, as erected by Mr. W. Jackson, a large quantity of earth was heaped, as' if tee level the approach theacc to the flower walk. These works were begun under and by approval of the late Commis sioner. At present all tbese mounds are being carted away, w h e ther with a view to undo and reverse the original. design, or to close up those beautiful and well-placed gates, does not appear. 'These and such vagaries in the progress or interception cf public works ought not to be incidental to the changes of Government officials, but should be car ried out, as upon private estates, with firm, deliberative system.—Building News.
