Mrs. Planter, who is about the same age as the prisoner, was fashionably attired. She stated that her husband was Luau'ly a mariner, and that she was now the landlady o f the Blacksmiths' Arms, Brook-street, Rateliff. She marrit d the defendant three years ago, and she was then a widow, and possessed of £450. Tile 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 ker 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 fur her watch, which he refused to give her, and kicked her on the back, for which she took out a warrant His inhumanity bad been very great, and he was once committed fur one mont h by Mr. Yardley, for a savage assault upon her. In cross-examination by the defendant, Mrs. Planter said she had b?en married to four husbands, and did not know what had become of two of them. One of them, named Jack Harris, was in Australia. She had indicted him for bigamy at the Central Critnioal Court, and he was acquitted. She might have lived with one only a fortnight. Would not Swear site had not lived with other mew. She gave the pri soner into custody at Bow-street. Mr. Seife—What for? The complainant fenced with the question a long time, and then admitted !hat it was for stealing 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 ieto an urfor tuna.e marriage with an infamous woman, and once cote- Timed, on perjured evidence, of an assault. This was an attempt on the part of the women and her ,servant to get him hack to the hence. Mr. Selfe—One would rather think the woman would be glad to get rid of you. I can't place much reliance on her what she says after the ma nner in watchwatchshe has given evi dence. Anna Sullivan confirmed the evidence of her mistress as to the beating an 1 kicking. Roche, the gaeler of the court, knew that Mrs. H but arris— he meant Planter — had nine hit hands—(sensetion)— een'tl not say she was married to all of them. She had tees at that court for defrauding sailors, and beetles: lie (Roche) rela.ed her true character she had threatened him, and was held to hail 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 p to sea again as soon as Possible. cations owever once to o long mu the uquish ;e-hill, y any .

RETROSPECT OANTICIPAF YORK AND EGIIAII TIONS. The York committee will perhaps now set their wits to work in revising tlaeir 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 Roue, 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 exemplfied 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 conditiona, to deduct the 51b. 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 occur ied 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 for the Ehor appeared on the Ist July, and the race was run on the 19th 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 jockeyship by Sam Rogers upon the Argosy in the Yorkshire Oaks. Vi'aiting with extraordinary patience until the centre of the stand enclosure he literally stole the racefrom his opponents, and landed the popular alderman's colours vic torious, amid an ovation that Yorkshiremen 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 running 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, wit° came away at the mid-distance, winning in the commonest of canters, tittle 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 beat between Rainbow and Cavendish in the Gimcrack; notable also for a second display of Sam Rogers's skill ; but the d. tiding beat 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 Colt Sapling Stakes. The future event betting 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 is the chief event, and should Relapse not be again stopped, I see nothing to beat her, although Courier's pretensions are worth 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—looks well for Miss Flatman or Press Forward. In the Runymede Stakes the handicapper has dealt lightly with Brunswick and South Western, one of which will furnish the winner. The other races have yet to fill. I defer notice of Stockton, which occupies Thursday and Friday, until my next communica tion A FRESH MAN. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY v. TOWN-EIGHT- This interesting and long-looked-for event, the source of much training and preparation, came off on Wednesday last, the 18th inst., and, as was expected, attracted hundreds of spectators to the banks of the classic Cain. Among these the townspeople, it being Long Vacation, somewhat predo- initiated ; but there was a tolerable sprinkling of collegians. two house-boats,with bands of music on board,conveyed a large number of ladies and gentlemen to the scene; and tubs, out- riggers, and beats of every structure and denomination fol lowed in the wake of the contending crews. The scene, altogether, was one of the most exciting which the Cam has witnessed for a length of time. Previous to the commencement of the race it was discovered that the stroke rowlock of the town boat was broken, and this cir cumstance caused no little vexation and complaint, the betting being three to two in favour of the Town; but fortu nately suitable tools were forthcoming at the Plough, and the matter being set straight, the desponding spirits of the townsmen were again revived. The University having won the toss, chose the second position, the distance between the two boats being 100 yards. A splendid start was effected ; and both crews at once put forth all their energy and muscle, as if the struggle were one of life and death. The University at first gained considerably up the Post Reach ; but the Town, by dint of hard, steady rowing, gra dually got away again, and passed the Plough amidst loud plaudits, with their opponents considerably in the rear. On getting into the Long Reach, the University put on another spurt, and victory for some time hovered mid-way between the combatants. The excitement reached a tremendous pitch ; both crews were loudly cheered by their respl,c live partisans, who were running, " like mad," along the towing-path. For a brief space the University gained upon their opponents on nearing the Willows, but the effort - - seemed to have exhausted them. To do them justice, how ever, day pat f , rth all their remaining strength, but they were not good enough to win; fur biter a ga:laut which will long be remembered in the aquatic annals of Cam bridge, the race was for the second time won by the Town by about 13 seconds. The University rowed in toe Coins boat, and the Town in that of ihe Endeavour boat club. Both heats were well steered, and the superb manipulation of Mr. William Wisbey in tho Tuwn boat was particularly the subject of encomium; to his skilful steering the success of the race was chiefly owing.

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 Greeu 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 spectators assembled. EMIGItATION —ln the 43 years, from 1815 to 1857 inclusive, there emigrated from the United Kitigdom 4,683,194. Of these 2,830,687 went to the United States, 1,170,342 to British North America, 613,61 5 to Australia and New Zealand, and one-half to other places. Of the whole emigration more than , viz., 2,444,802, emigrated in the eight years from 1847 to 1854 inclu,ive. In 1855 and 1856 the emigration fell to 176,807 and 176,554 respectively, principally in consequence of the demand for the army and navy and the departments connected with them during the Russian war, and is 1857 the numbers rose to 212,875. A PECULIARITY IN THE WORKING OF THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPII.—There will be one peculiar h fea ture in the working of the Atl antic telegraph to whic we think sufficient attention has not even yet been drawn, not withstanding our own special allu,ion to it on a former occasion—that is, the alternate transmission of positive and negative electricity aloug the wire. Positive and iv nes ega •tive electricity are doubtless a 4 complete counteract to each other's influence as are cold and beat.

Hooper) at the Guildhall, on Friday. A young woman, aged 23, named Elizabeth Aan Holman, was charged by Sergeant Crane, of the 19th Regiment of Foot, with having attempted to olvain money under false pretences. The prisoner was attired in man's clot hes ; her face, which very much resembled that of a boy, bore evidence of having been expo,ed to the vicissi tudes of the weather, and her hair was cut short and parted by the side. It appeared that she was the daughter of a pensioner residinfx in Cornwall, and that at the age of 13 she dropped female attire and put on boy's clothes. Since that time she bad worked as a farm servant and a railway years ago she because acquainted with a l a bourer, earning on an ant age in the latter capacity 14s. With whom she coha habited, at,d by whom she has had two children. A few days ago the young man a nd the prisoner came to Exeter, when y pe o l i; n; ' e man elc named td P e arce, a shoemaker, the former enlisted in thel9thßegiment. The latter did not object to this, but said she must have a pair of boots from him to enable her to go to work on the Exeter mid saying . she was the brother of Pears?, Yeovil line. She applied to Sergeant Crane to advance her money for the boots, but, her sex having been discovered, she was given in cus tody on the above charge. Ttm IM . ayor said the charge could not be sustained, and, on dismissing the prisoner, be, expressed sympathy with her, and ordered money to be given her from the poor-box. The young woman thanked his worship and said she would not wear any other than man's clothes and "would work as a labourer if ehe was trausportvl for 3hNra.l COEN EXCHANGE. 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 price. The ContiFental markets have exhibited very few changes of late. The transactions in grain for shipannt have not 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: barley, 62,211 oats, 1,f.0 beaes, 1,215 peas, 5,200 linseed, 2,200 rapeseed, 10 mustardseed. so canary seed, 6,850 In dian corn, 120 sacks and 1,01 l barrels of dour. 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 stocks, even for the time of year, at prices about equal to those current on Monday last. Good and fine foreign wheats were mostly disposed of, without difficulty, at full quotations. In low and damp qualities, the show of wheat was large, very little was doing, on former terms. The few samp'es 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. . - ii;;i, kinds of flour moved off steadily, at last week's currency.

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 Scots and short horns, we had an active inquiry, at fully Thursday's improvement to the quotations. Tho general top figure for beef was 45. 10d., but very prime breeds realised ss. per Sibs. 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, &c. There was a very middling show of sheep, and a great scarcity of prime amongst it. The mutton trade was decidedly active, at fully 2d. per Sibs. above the prices current on Monday last. Very prime old downs sold at Cs, per Blbs.—the general top figure for mutton being 4s. 10d. per Sibs. Lambs—the supply of which 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. Pigs were in good supply, and fair request, at full quotations.

BOROIJG II HOP. since our last the transactions in all kinds of hops hare 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. Tho plantation accounts are favourable, and the duty is fully backed at £240,000. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Our markets continue to be somewhat heavily supplied with most kinds of potatoes, the general quality of which is good. Rather a large business is doing, as follows :—Regents, 80A. to 100 s. ; Shaws, 60s. to 80s. ; and inferior, 40s. to 50s. per ton. No foreign potatoes came to hand last week. The reports respecting the crop are very favourable. WOOL MARKET. The colonial wool sales - held since our last have been fairly attended. All good and tine wools have realised full prices, but low qualities have ruled somewhat heavy.

TALLOW. The amount of business doing in our market to-day is only ma derate, neverthdess priee s are well purported. P.Y.O. on the spot is sel.i36 at 465. ed. per cwt. Rough fat, 2s. id. perlos. 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 or 300 WriALEs.—Last week was un usually exciting in various of the Orkney Islands, large shoals of whiles having made their appearance. At Rothiesholm, 1 Stroway, on Wedn esda y , a large ‘ school " made its appear ance, and the greater part of the inhabitants of the district turned out, armed w it s h all Tanner of lethal weapons, and the result of that day exertions was the hand-orne capture of 80 whales, some of them of considerabl e s'ze. Oa Friday they were sold, in cumtt/o, by Mr. Malcolm Green, and realised 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 s imultaneous 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 slaugbter to?.k place, amid the most admired confusion, tertninattng in the death of no fewer than 220 whales, being the largest capture for a number of years. — Northern Ensign. T HE E ND or AN AERONAUT. - M. Poiteviu, the intrepid aeronaut, whose excursions on horseback caused so much excitement in London, has met the fate of several of his predecessor s : He fell into the sea near Malaga, when deSecllding With his balloon, and was drowned. THE 31 , RESTS, (From the Inverness Courier.) The 12th opened inauspiciously. Rain fell heavily from about four in the morning, and continued generally over the country during the greater part of the day. The air was heavily charged with electricity, which brae 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 favonable 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 sport4men and friends, and especially to Mr. Snowie, of Inverness, are neatly all from low-lying moors, and it will be seen that the sport has been in some instances really good, and i n 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 12th, at Moybeg, 46 brace ; Mr. Campbell, at Dunearn, on the 12th, 321 brace ; Mr. F. L. Brodenham, after one o'clock, p. in., on the 12th, at Nuide, shot 37 brace. General Cracklow, at Culduthel, on the 12th, shot 13 brace, and four snipe; Mr. H. H. Martin and Mr. Mills, at Errogie, on the 12th, shot 151 brace. Sir Francis Sykes, Bart., at Strathmashie, on the 12th, 15 brace. Mr. Macnab, of Dalchully, on the 12th, bagged 61 brace, and on the 14th 9/ brace. At Glenshiero Lodge, Capt. Edwards bagged 19 brace; Sir L. Pilkington, 191 brace; and Mr. Stackey, 15 brace. Col. Fraser, at Cantray, on the 12th, killed 8 brace, and on the 13th, 181 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 they bagged 28 brace, 6 bares. and 1 snipe. Major Hirst, at Clare, on the 12th, bad 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 1 hare; Mr. Hughes and Mr. Shaw, on the same ground, .badJB 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 bares, and on the 16th 201 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' shooting, bagged 81 brace ; at Knockando, Mr. Cayley and friend, on the 12th, had 23 brace. At the Cluny shootings, Raiford, Mr. Grant of Kincorth, on the 12th, had 4 brace, and 1 bare. On the Dallas bills, Mr. A. K. George, and party, on the 12th, bagged 50 brace. From Tulchen 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, 10 brace, 2 snipes, and 3 ducks. Capt. Holden and friend, on the 12th, had 13 brace and 2 hares ; and on the 13th, 101 brace. At Advie, on the 12th, Mr. Munn had 48 brace. Mr. Webb and Major Goodlake, on the 12th, at Bailin dalloch, shot 67 brace and 6 bares. Major Tempest, at Loehindorb, on the 12th, bad 10 brace. Mr. Shaw, at Newhall, on the 12th, bad 12 brace. Mr. W. Morris and Mr. N. Morris, and a friend, at Moybeg, on the 17th, 671 brace, 10 hares, 2 ducks, and 1 snipe. On the 16th, Col. Fraser and friend, at Cantray, 22 brace. On the 13th, Mr. J. Wiseman shot 16 brace of grouse, and on the 16th, 181 brace, at Tomatin, Mr. 2E. Mack intosh, of Balnespick, and Mr. W. Travers, on the 13th, shot 17 brace of grouse and 3 hares, at Corrybrough. Mr. Arthur Wigram, and Mr. J. Arkwright, on the 13th, shot 16 brace of grouse, and on the 16th, 18 brace of grouse 2 snipes, and 2 woodcocks, at Cluny. 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 on the one side and five on the other. The antlers were still in velvet, but hard to the top, and measured 32 inches in length, with a span of the same dimensions. The stag was as fat as might be looked for at the end of Sep tember. At Lochinver, Sutheriandshire, the 12th was ushered in with heavy rain, and nothing could be done on the moors till mid-day, when the sun came out, and the heat was ex cessive. Mr. J. F. llazlehlrst bagged 131 brace grouse in four hours. The grouse appear to be 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 usual visits of yachts, and among others the Undinc, with his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, on his annual tour among his tenantry. The Layde, with Mr. E. Ellice, M.P., on a fishing excursion. The lidela, on her way to Stornoway, with ➢lr. Celville ; and the Volante with Mr. Birch and party. The Perthshire Courier says :—Although a week has elapsed since the opening cf the shooting season, the accounts from the Perthshire moors have been extremely meagre ; bat generally they are satisfactory. The morning of the 12th was misty and rainy, so that few sportsmen could get abroad at an early hour. It appears that the hild• , e 1 f .1 „:t s : o:1,:, ut 11..; wing, but a good deal more plentiful than last year, although still deficient if compared with the numbers of preview; yeas. No traces of disease have been observable, 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 he 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-clay on Tuesday. Capt Egerton at Talladh a'Beithe, shot 14 brace ; and Mr. Maxton, 15 brace. On the Tarvie molt. of Donavourd, Mr. Mark Na pier and party bagged 411 brace of grouse, 13 blue hares, and 2 rabbits, as the result cf their sport on the 14th and IGth, 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 13raco, 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 Glengowlandie shootings were agreeably surprised with their sport, which considerably exceeded their expectations. Mr. Reid, Cluny House, Stratbtay, shot 6 brace during the first two hours he was on the kill. Mr. Carter, at Rohallion, met with fair sport. It is stated that the grouse on all the high moors in Athoie and Badenech, though free of disease , are scarce, the heavy falls of snow and frost in May having de,troyed the embryo broods, and driven the old bir ds to the low grounds for shelter. However, the few existing coveys captain from six to ten young birds; and have not been more . healthy fur s e v eral years. We may on l y 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. on the 14th, other 281 brace on ensievrachan bill. These figures not only indicate a " good shot," but show that there is no scarcity of birds. At Innergeldy, Mr.Alexanler Haig, of Blairl,lll, Las 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 most favourable weather, and sportsmen had every opportunity of enjoying a good " opening day.' O❑ the moors in this neighbourhood the birth are reported as numerous and strong. A party of gentlemen from this city were out on the Wolsingliam moors, and had some 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 had some unpre cedented sport at his moors in the west, and bad some very heavy bags daily. The accounts from come 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 seat , on on Bowes moors. On the 12th, the best bag was made by Mr. T. Clarkson, of Bowes, who shot 45 brace. Mr. M. lleadlam killed 29 brace; Mr. L. Dent, 27 brace; and many bags were made from 19 to 26 brace each. , IMPROVEMENT IN THE PARKS. The Stirling Journal says:—The sport on the moors in this 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 4; hours ; on the 14th, 171 brace ; and on the 16th 24 brace. Oa the 16tb Messrs. Jopp and Scott killed 24 brace on Bal gair moor. Mr. W. L. Ewing, of Arngomery, bagged 10 brace on the 16th. Mr. G. K. M c Callum, of Braco, and p ar ty, 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 Gargunnock 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 13th was but an indifferent day also. The Earl of Wemyss, on the Grandtully moor, killed, on the 13th, 76 brace and two hares. The lion. J. C. Dundas, on the Glenqneich moor, killed 541 brace and two hares on the 12th ; 441 brace and 4 hares on the 13th ; 35 brace and 3 hares on the 14th; and 31 brace and 2 hares on the 16tIr. Mr. Hildyard, on the Curriemuckloch moor, killed 40 brace on the 12th, and 35 brace on the 13th. Mr. Lumsden, 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 condition than they have been for many years, and there is not that disposition for making large bags the first day or two has usually been the csse. —Our Comvir correspandent says :—Notwithstanding the un propitious state of the weather on - the " twe lfth,': . we learn that on his bill at Brae of Fordie , M r. D. R. Iv ' Main . son, , of Lowers , bagged to his own gun 33 brace of grouse and 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 :he approval of all. The cleansing cf St. Ja mes ' s cana l , t h e erect i on o f the Suspension-bridge (or rather causeway), the girding of Hyde-park with shrubbed plantation's 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 tbese works . transcend all that has been done by all his predecessors. The office of national gardener is, however, one that charges with the Administration, so that there is little hope for a continu ation of those services which have so much contributed to the public hlalth 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-ycar 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 must be drained off, brought to an equa ble level, and concreted ; moreover, it must have, like St. James'e-park, a supply of artesian well water. There is for the present a stagnation of improvement both by land and water, for little is in progress throughout those public domains, and what little we behold 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 ot the park. Therefore all beholders consider the change not 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 Cromwell-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 Gore-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 the 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 embaokmentie 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 Blessington's parterre amongst them), the most thriving and luxuriant of all. The forest trees have been preserved by upright cal-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 could 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 Busses 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 taste and liberal outlay. Artifices sl unnatural as towering rectilinear and graduated terraces. are utterly un- Englisk. The Danes have 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 the whole design as we now have it. Queen Caroline, in the reign of George 1., 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 halm, now ex tending from the Bayswater-road to the powder magazine, remaining identically as it was then formed. Many an the changes of form and fashion in Hyde-park since its first arissue by Henry VIII., whets it was part ut I.thseseions of the Monastery of St. Peter, Westminster. The drive has been ever changing; first from the central ring to alongside Park-lane, then to the ma-gin of the Ser pettine, Now to the Kensington side. Rotteurow, the arena for equestrianism of both sexes, is a creation of the present reign ; the solid bridge of masonry, lice the dry cascade, was built in the reign of George IV. ; the Knightsbridge Barracks in that of George 111., when the guard-house far infantry was also iutruded upon the very centre, the most beautiful and sequestered portion of it. When the lodge—falsely called the Ranger's-lodge — was built is doabtfal ; but the interval between that enclosure of about eight acres and the Infantry Barrack was fenced oil' as a rummage or stackyard in the time of George 111. These three reserves, ill kept and mean as they are, destroy rite clif p l eas ing grounds. There is an open and a peculiar ost to this park beyond all o th ers . :e y e t lightness these most The prospect includes the Surrey-hills, and though only mo d era t e ly elevated, there is a lightness in the air sa vour i ng of the DCIWBS. It is high time that the ill-fa% oured buildings and hovels of barracks, timber-sheds, and ranger's cottage patronage, should give place to the requirements of the citizens ot Loudon. 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 do', in et cry 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 be more popular than the fission of these enclosures into a free park. Other points these are about this park which require in.- ;movement. In the angle next Kensington, the old brick hovel, lately used as Light Covello Barracks, are a end spectacle of decrepitude and bad taste. It ought to be re 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 to level she approach thence to the flower walk. These works were begun under and by approval of the late Commis sioner. At present all these mounds are being carted away, whether 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 proereos 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.
