STARCH. —BROWN and POLSON beg to in vite the attention of laundresses and the public to their PATENT POWDER STARCH, unequalled for strength, colour, and purity. It gives a fine and glossy finish, does not stick to the iron, and requires no boiling. The annexed certi ficate of that eminent chemist, Dr. Fyfe, will prove that it is free of potatoe, and contains no deleterious ingredient. " I hereby certify that I have submitted to chemical investi gation the starch manufactured by Messrs. Brown and Poison, of Paisley, and that I have found it to be a pure article, conse quently free from any ingredient that would act injuriously even on the finest fabric. From trials conducted with it under my own superintendence, I have found that in starching it goes farther than the best kinds of patent starch, that it gives an equally fine finish, and that articles starched with it are not liable to lose their stiffness. Having witnessed the process of manufacturing the starch in all its stages, I am satisfied that potatoe flour is not used in its manufacture. " AW. F Y FE, M. D., F. R. S.

COURT OF COMMON COUIC CIL. Yesterday a Special Court was held for the ,PurPee of considering a Report of the City Lands' Com. mittee, relative to the law courts at the Guildhall, of iwhia 11 !" merous complaints have been made by the JuiNes, the counsel, attorneys, suitors, &e. The subject being considered one of great imporiteri the _attendance of members was numerous, although! tOle Corporation vacation has already commenced, and NAY short notice had been given. Mr. HALL, the Chairman of the City Lands ComNP inittee, brought up the Report, to which he particularlyf requested the attention of the Court. It stated, that.; in pursuance of two orders of .the Court, whereby they were authorised to make various alterations in the 1 building appropriated to the Courts of Law in the Guildhall Yard, and to ventilate the same it the esti mated expense of 8,600/., the Committee had directed the Clerk of the Works to prepare specifications of the necessary works, and apply to the following parties to tender for the performance of the same ; viz., Mr. Cubitt, Messrs. Lee, Mr. Grimsdell, Messrs. Baker, Messr& Grissell and Pete, Messrs. Piper, and Mr. Eurton ; and on the 2d instant, 'they received the tentless in the amounts following, viz., Mr. Cubitt, 11,3401. ; Messrs. Lee, 12,3811. ; Mr. Grimsdell, 10,6361. ; Messrs.. Baker, 12,1361. ; Messrs. Grissell and Peto, 11,302/. ; Mpssrs. Piper, 13,702/. ; and Mr. Burton, 13,6731.; and. the lowest tender received, namely, that of Mr. Grimsdell, being 2,0361. above the estimated amount re ported to the Court, the Committee had reetiniumndetl the same, subject to the approbation of the Court being obtained to the incurring of that additional outlay. The , Report further stated that the expense of adopi mg Mr. Day's patent of ventilation to the Courts would amount to the sum of 700/., that portion of the work put being included in Mr. Grimsdell's tender. Mr. IlAtt made some observations on this altered state of the circumstances, the tenders being su muck larger than the estimate made by the Clerk of the City's Works. That the expense would exceed the extra tender which the Committee recommended, there could be but little doubt, considering the complicated nature of the operations. The question whether so large an outlay should be made in effecting alterations, he would leave to the decision of the Court. Mr. R. L. JONES said, the question certainly was, whether they ought not to build new courts altogether. —(Hear, hear.) The sum required to make the alte rations was SO large, that it appeared to him most ad• visable to send back the Report to the Committee fir the purpose of re-consideration, with a view to ascertain ' whether it would not be the must judicious course to build a new edifice, with accommodation suited to the necessities and the times. The Guildhall Itself was a splendid building, and why not make the Courts of Law attached to it in unison with it ?—(Hear, hear.) He was sure the Committee could obtain fresh plans for new courts. If the proceeded to make the alterations re quired, they might expend 13,-000/. or 14,0001., anu if they adopted the alternative of erecting new courts, they might accomplish that most important objeo,t for 15,000/—(Cheers.) He movo,d an amendment, the echo of his speech. Mr. OBBARD seconded the amendment. The result, it is expected will be, jhat a set of new courts presenting every possible accommodation, will be very soon substituted for the present incommodious apartments. MODE OF ADMINISTERING RELIEF TO THE CASUAL POOR. Mr. HEPPELL presented a petition from the ih.,,abi tant ratepayers of the parish of St. Mary Woolchurch Haw. The petition stated that the parish was suffering severely from the burdens occasioned by the late mode of adminisistering relief to the casual poor, and from the circumstance of the Mansion .house being situated within the limits of the parish ; that the quarterly official ex tracts of the expenditure of the City of London Union showed that from the establishment of the union to the 25th December 1838, there was one classification of paupers under the head casual poor; that the whole number of poor of that description was very limited, and up to that period was generally considered and treated as vagrants, and that the expenses of their support, with all incidental charges, fell upon the Corporate fund ; that it was owing to an alteration in the system, adjudicating upon the cases re ferred during the mayoralty of Alderman Wilson, that the burdens became transferred to the parish of St. Mary Woolchurch Haw, and that the said parish, whieli con sisted but of twenty-nine rateable houses, independent of the Mansion-house, was debited out of the total charge of 4,9001. 2s. (for the maintenance of such poor for the space of three years), with the sum of 1,1221. 12s. I Id., being nearly one-fourth of the entire burden, leaving the residue to be borne by the remaining ninetv-seven parishes, out of the ninety-eight which constituted the City of. London Union ; that the petitioners had largely increased, in some instances doubled, the amount of their usual rates, and were still unable to satify the heavy de mand entailed upon them ; that notwithstanding such means, there was a balance of about 6001. duo from the perish to the Union ; and that the petitioners entreated the Court to take the circumstances into consideration, in the hope that assistance would be afforded them, by the direction of such a grant as, in the wisdom of the Court would Seem just and reasonable. Mr. KEPPELL wished to have the petition referred to the Committee, to which, in the course of last year, a petition relative to the casual poor had been stibmitted, ' and that instructions should be given to the Committee to report upon both. • Mr. iiikaaisoN declared that nothing was to be got by referring the petition, unless the Court were prepared to vote a portion out of the funds for the relief of the parish. After a few words from . Mr. HEPPELI., the petition was ordered to lie on the table. POWERFUL APPEAL OF THE COALWHIPPERS OF LONPON. Mr. STEVENS presented a petition from an immense number of the poor, hard-working, ill-used mei] called coal-whippers, praying for the protection of the Court. The petitioners were the men whom people, as they passed up or down the liver, saw making machines of their bodies, and raising coals from the holds of ships and delivering them into barges. They sought the protection of the Court from the vice and infamy and abomination to which they were exposed in their endeavours to get employment, for the more drunk a coal-whipper became the stronger were his chances of constant occupation; the parties to whom the power of appointing to the work bOliOnged being, for the most part, publicans at the water-side, who required, as an indispensable qualification, that the grA'ater por tions of the earnings of a candidate should be spent in drink.—(Hear.) The coal-whippers were satisfied with the pay allotted for their labour, but they considered it dreadful slavery to be obliged to drink thenir selves init) employment, and, after three weeks' toil, to be able to take home no more than four or five shillings to their wives and families.—(Hear, hear.) Whether the petitioners we're teetotallers or temperance society men he did not know, but he well knew that they notdid wish to be the victims of the tap-room, and to see those who ought to be dear to them naked and starv ing about the streets.—(Cheers.) They came before the Court of Common Council because the Corporation re ceived considerable addition to their funds from the coals which were brought into the Pool, and because they knew the Court abhorred the odious oppression which made drunkenness the only recommendation to the favour of those who bad the power of giving the employment they sought.—(Hear and cheers.) All these poor men asked was that the Court would provide an office for them, in which they might I>e ap pointed to work in regular turns in unloading the cargoes, and the expenses attending which they would themselves pay. By such an arrangement, 1,200 or 1,400 respectable men would be sure of employment, in ' stead of being completely superseded by 500 or 600 drunken vagabonds.—(Hear, hear.) The Court, he was convinced, would look kindly upon the efforts of these poor men to relieve themselves from the execrable thraldom, in. which they were bound r more especially when it was stated, as it could be proved, that at the Present moment upwards of 800 families of coal-whip pers were starving. He had made particular inquiries 1 into the facts he had stated, and he had ascertained that nakedness was in innumerable instances added to the ' want of bread.—(Hear.) The petition, which detailed the sufferings of the petitioners in a very affecting manner, was then read, and referred to a Committee by a very great majority, Mr. JOHNSON, the member for Bishopsgate, having warmly seconded the motion, • Mr. STEVENS then moved the suspension of the stand ing order of the Court in order to vote a grant of 501. to the Lord Mayor to divide amongst the petitioners in aid of their immediate necessities. Mr. COPE—WiII the Lord Mayor take charge of 501. k) divide amongst 800 starving families? The Loup Mayou—l would much rather divide 300/. or 4001. amongst the poor creatures.—(Loud cheers.) A considerable discussion took place upon . the subject of suspending the standing order, but the motipn was lost. Mr. ANDERTON, as the Court was breaking up said, he would most willingly subscribe for the poor men who made such a virtuous struggle.—Adjourned. SALE OF LADIES -r WORK, &c. FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE WESLEYAN MISSIONS. It has not often been our lot to record feelings of plea sure and gratification such as We experienced upon vi siting the Sale of Ladies' Work and other articles, at the Centenary-hall, for the benefit of the Wesleyan ;Missions, during the last few dap. Our rea-lers are doubtless aware, that several Christian ladies, animated by a desire to promote the missiona7 cause, have been, for several months past, zealously devoting their time, money, and influence, to procure articles for sale on this occasion. The sale commenced on Fr;clay, and was continued on Saturday, Monday, and yesterday. Our expectations, though raised beforehand to a high pitch, were more—far more—than realized. We never saw, upon any similar occasion, so many specimens of c, useful, and beautiful workmanship, as were presented on visiting this scene of true zeal and benevolence. Nor can we refrain from expressing our entire and unijualified approbation of the courtesy and deportment displayed by the ladies who undertook the fatiguing task of pre siding At the different stalls. The gentlemen assisting them were also exceedingly attentive and polite to the numerous customers. Such has been the liberality displayed in contributing goods for sale,—and a large quantity of valuable articles, intended for exhibition at the Missionary Table, having arrived only yesterday, which, consequently, have not yet been displayed, —it has been resolved to afford addi tional gratification to the friends of Missions by re opening the sale on Monday and Tuesday. The ladies, whose exertions in this matter are beyond all praise, have kindly consented to give their attendance on the days above mentioned. We refer, for particulars to our advertising columns ; and we earnestly hope. that those who are interested in Missions generally, and especially in one of the most promising missions undertaken in modern days, we mean the mission in Ashanti, will, by their presence, and by employing their influence to ob litain the attendance of their friends upon the oerision. contribute to the success of this philanthric effort, and thereby increase the Migionery fund.—' Watchman.

ROUGHSEDGE and SUMMERS have hitherto relied on the discernment of the public to discover and appreciate the superior quality of the ./Erated Water produced by their manufactory, and they have scorned to have re course to any tricks. In the present day some persons consider it requisite to make use of puffs and quackery in order to extend the sale of their own productions by detracting from the merits of rival establishments. R. and S. have such strong grounds of reliance on the supe riority of their own soda-water and lemonade, founded on the recommendation of the most eminent of tha faculty, on the results of the most searching chemical analyses, and the extensive and still increasing demand for them by the public, both at home and abroad, that they have hitherto treated the insinuations of quackery alluded to with the contempt they deserve. But if thews indirect insinuations are still to be obtruded on the public, R. and S. feel themselves justified in offering those explanations that may enable the public to judge for themselves. If R. and S. have placed the name of Schweppe upon their bottles, it was never to mislead the public as to connexion with that firm, but for the purpose of announcing a legitimate fact, and always subordinate to their own. Without im puting. undue credit to the name of Schweppe, they have simply stated that they came from the house of Schweppe and Co., —an undoubted fact, or doubtless it would have been denied. For five and twenty years, during the very period that the waters sold by Schweppe gave to that name all the celebrity it ever obtained, Mr. Summers was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters sold by that house in London, Derby, and Bristol. It is many years since any person, having the slightest connexion with the name or family of the late Mr. Schweppe, has been connected with - any house in the trade. In the year 1834, the proprietor of the busi ness carried on under the name of Schweppe and Co. sold his interest to persons with whom R. and S. declined to remain : they preferred employing their in dustry and practical knowledge in establishing a business for their own mutual profit. Whether the waters since manufactured by the present firm of Schweppe and Co. retain the quality which acquired for that house all its celebrity, R. and S. decline to give an opinion ; but, in justice to themselves, they do, with the most perfect con fidence and good faith, say that—highly as some ma nufacturers seem to estimate the bottles which bear their name (expensive an item as bottles are), and diffi cult as it is to prevent retail tradesmen from returning wrong ones—there is no bottle bearing any other than their own, however celebrated, to which Roughsedge and Summers would wish to add the reputation to be derived from filling them with waters of their own manufactory. ROUGHSEDGE and SUMMERS only desire such patronage as may be deserved from the Erated Waters produced at their own manufactory, and' sold under the labels of their own name.-37, Bridge-street, Bristol. ADVERTISEMENT.—HOLLOWAY'S 'PILLS AND OINT MENT.—EXTRAORDINAAY 'CASE..—Mrs. S. old, residing at Chapel-place, Belgrave-square, London, had a bad leg and foot, which, by disease, became entirely shapeless, resembling, in ap pearance, the trunk of a tree, and covered with knots, rucks, and rolls of hard flesh; the ease was such, that for three years the lady could scarcely walk across the room. Surgeons of great eminence were consulted, but afforded ne relief ; she, however, now declares that by the use alone of the above me dicines she can walk miles in a day. To be had at Professor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand, near Temple Bar, where advice may be had gratis. Sold also by every respect able chemist throughout the kingdom. ]ADVERTISEMENT. j IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE• RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised world, that any enconium on its merits might appear snper fluous ; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London; and also at their three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ; and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public. The deception referred` to is that of passing off a spurious article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the same. By this artifice a cemmon water is surreptitiously palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the later is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its legitirs ate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less constant on the continent and in other parts of the world. Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually transmitting orders received from their respective agents and correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimony Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the high condition in which it is generally found. The Water ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's Lemonade is an elegant preparation of mere recent intro duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is an effervescing draught of most agreeable flavour, and made of the best mate rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men constantly recommend it in cases of fever, &e., nor is it less de sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will have a yellow fable on its side, with the name and address of the firm. Schweppe and Co. are the largest importers of the German Seltzer Water, sshich they receive direct from the springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public in the original packages. N.B.—Export orders for all climates executed on the shortest notice. Copy of a communication addressed to Messrs. Rowland and Son, No. 20, Hatton-garden, London :—Gentle men,—Being called upon to attend a lady, who had had a com plaint in her head about a year before, and, in consequence, had lost nearly all her hair; I found very few hairs remaining, and those just like down, with no appearance of any fresh roots. She stated her desire to use your Macassar Oil, but I felt I could not conscientiously recommend any thing for its recovery, as I considered it too far gone. She, however, determined to try one bottle, which was used in about a month, and then sent to my shop for another, stating her hair to be much improved ; she has now used eight bottles in as many months, during which time I have frequently (painted it, and have new the pleasure to inform you, that it is quite thick and long : and she is so much pleased with the change, that she says the expense is nothing, and she will never be without it. If you think this statement of facts worth publishing, you are at liberty to do so, and remain yours respectfully, JOHN 'ACKLEY, Hair-cutter. Middle-street, Ripon, April 19,1842. - - - - A SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—EarIy on Wednes day morning a young hare was found alive in the yard of the house, No. 32, East King-street, South Shields, adjoining the Pontop and South Shields Railway. There is every reason to suppose that, on the pre ceding night, puss must have been roused out of her form by the noise of one of the locomotive engines which travel on the above railway, and in her fright had taken to the road in advance of the engine, which she must have headed all the way to the town, where most likely seeing the engine stop, and fearing to renew the race, she threw herself over the battlements. When taken up, her back was found to be much injured by the fall.—Tyne Mercury. Lord and Lady Elizabeth Clemenf s, the Lady Pollington, Captain Freemantle, the Hon. Mr. Fortescue, Admiral Galloway, Major Waller, the Rev. Mr. Young, and Sir George and Lad y Westphal, took their depar tures yesterday from Blackwall, by the General Steam Navigation Company's favourite steam-ship Rainbow, Captain . J. Fife, for Antwerp, en route for the Rhine. The Wilberforce, belonging to the same Company, arrived from Antwerp, after a fine run of only 18 hours ; this vessel's outward passage was noticed in this journal, having on board many fashionable personages including the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, the Earl de Grey and guise. PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECTS OF MONOPOLY. Table showing the ex•duty prices of British Sugars in Mincing-lane, and comparing the same agaix:sp that of Foreign Sugars : London, Aug. 5, 1842. The Gazette of this evening will quote the average price per cwt. s. d. Of West Indian Sugar, exclusive of duty, at 36 5-1, East India do. do. at 36 64 Mauritius do. do. at 37 1 The actual quantities of West Indian, East Indian, and Mauritius Sugars sold on account of the im porters, in the week ending the 2d inst., according to the returns made upon oath by the sugar brokers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which quantities the above prices are computed, consisted of About 37,015 cwt. of West India 3,275 do. of East India 8,194 do. of Mauritius 48,484 together. Some persons who attend the market are of opinion that the quotations of East India and Mauritius Su gars, in addition to West Indian—as required by the Custom-House Act, recently passed, and now in ope ration, are inserted in the Gazette for the . parpose of keeping down the apparent average price they say that Kaur Sugar, which is a dirty un wholesome kind of Sugar, made chiefly from dates, will be classed as East India Sugar, and that as this filthy stuff is sold ex-duty at 18s. per cwt., it must ensure a reduction in the quoted average price of East India Sugar : again, they also say, that as a proportion of the Mauritius Sugar is of an ex tremely low and black quality, inferior to the worst description of Bastards, the sale of it under the de nomination of Mauritius Sugar will, of course, un- , fairly depress the average price of that class of Sugar, the object being, they allege, that in case any remon strance should be made in Parliament against the high price of British Sugars, to enable the Govern ment to point to the Gazette to refute the charge; and also with the view to fulfil the prediction of Sir Robert Peel, that the price of Sugar would decline. Others impute the alteration to the desire on the part of the Government to ascertain, with some de gree of accuracy, what price the public is really pay ing for Sugar, preparatory to such a reduction of duty as will admit Foreign Sugars to home consump tion : in the event of such a measure being brought forward, we shall have the West Indians, backed by other monopolists, clamouring vehemently for pro tection. Should the first party be right in their conjecture, we shall from time to time publish what sales of Maur, or black Mauritius Sugar, are effected : and if the second are correct in their views, we shall watch the movement, and not fail in our duty of calling public attention to any attempt to bolster up West India interests at the expense of the nation, by differential duties. The public will bear in mind that the annual consumption of Sugar, now fa voured by the law, is, in round numbers, about four million cwt., :and that, therefore, to place a duty of one shilling per cwt. more on foreign than on British sugars, will be to indirectly tax the consumers to the tune of 200,0001. per annum, just for the sake of en riching a set of monopolists to that extent, who have for years past fleeced the nation annually, through excessive prices, of three to four millions sterling. Everybody will remember the hypocritical excla mations with which the reduction of duty on foreign Sugars was met by the monopolists when proposed by the late Government. Would you, said they, con taminate British palates with slave-labour sugar ? Would you encourage a wicked and abominable sys tem of slavery by consuming Sugar raised by negroes, who are still groaning under its chains ? Would you neutralise the humane efforts of the Bri tish nation, which has so liberally sacrificed twenty millions sterling to accomplish the emancipation of our own blacks ? Oh, for shame ! This species of opposition came pretty well from a party who, if they had dared, would have risen in open rebellion to pre vent the liberation of the slaves they then held and tortured, and who actually exerted their utmost powers to obstruct the benevolent wishes of the na tion, by throwing every practicable difficulty in the way of emancipation. But what follows exhibits cant still in stronger colours. A Bill is introduced into the House of Commons to permit, under certain conditions, the deportation of Hill Coolies to some of the Sugar plantations. Will it be believed, this very same party, who had expressed so much horror at the mere idea of encou raging slavery by the admission of foreign sugar to home use, now turn round, throw their notions over board, and applaud the scheme to the sky—a scheme which will place under the control of their planters a large body of fresh labourers, who will in fact, though perhaps not in name, be presently reduced to the piti able condition of slaves. Before a single - human being is turned over as a labourer to the tender mercies Of West India planters, this question should be satisfac torily answered, What has become of the miserable victims, the Hill Coolies, who were kidnapped in India, and landed about three years ago in Demerara? Far better than the average quality of. West India Sugar has been sold at Liverpool for 17s. per cwt. ; low qualities of Manilla Sugar have been sold at 13s. and 14s. per cwt. Dutch Crashed, double refined, has fetched only 225. 6d. per cwt. ; and the Board of Trade have received a letter from Messrs. Moore and Co., of Liverpool, offering them a whole cargo of Brazil Sugar at 15s. per cwt. The British nation is, therefore, paying the Sugar Monopolists about 120 per cent. more for their sugar than it is worth in the European markets. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.

CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis), POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c. &c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material so that acids do not affect it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver, can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's Pattern.

Brow , SINGULAR: GALVANIC ExPEnimENT.--Weinhold cut off a cat's head, and when its arterial pulsation had ceased, took out the spinal marrow, and placed in its stead an amalgam of mercury, silver and zinc ; immediately after this was done the pulsation recommenced, and the body made a variety of movements. He took away the brain and spinal morrow of another cat, - and filled up the skull and vertebral canal with the same metallic mixture. Life appeared to be instantly restored—the animal lifted up its head, opened and shut its eyes, and, looking with fixed stare, endeavoured to walk ; and whenever it fell, tried to raise itself upon its legs. It continued in this state twenty minutes, when it fell down and rem a i ned motionless. During all the time the anima l was in this state the circulation of the blood appeared to go on re gularly ; the secretion of the gastric juice .was more than usual, and the animal heat was re-established. SALMON FISIIING.—IsLar, JOLT 25.—1 n the early part of the week Mr. Campbell, of Islay, and a party, paid a visit to Laggan river, with a net, to take a shot or two for salmon.

At the second trial, where the river enters the sea, the number makingin the two trials 1,436 ; but the number would have beers much amounted not the to net t,O gi 2B v , en way, n much greater.
