BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Min burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applyink, to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but errc neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured.

ROYAL ARTILLERY REGIMENTAL SCHOOLS. _ _ Woo'Amu, DE C .2y.—The annual examination of the Royal Artillery Regimental Schools, attended by upwards of 500 boys and girls, took place on Monday last, the 24th inst., by order of Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman, C.B , K.C.H., Commandant of the garrison. Colonel F. Campbell, Royal Artillery, presided, and the following officers were present, and evidently much gratified with the proceedings :—Lieutenant- Colonel Reid, C. 8., Royal Engineers; Lieutenant- Colonel Bell, Royal Horse Artillery ; Brigade Major Bingham, Captain Tylden, Deputy Assistant Quarter master-General of Artillery ; Captain Anderson, Captain Burrows, Captain Radcliffe, and Captain Wingfield, Royal Artillery. The examination of the boys (upwards of 300 in number) was conducted by the Rev. G. B. Tuson, chaplain, Royal Artillery, and the promptness and intelligence with which the answers were given showed that their religious education, as well as their instruction in the less important subjects of geography, English grammar, history, and arithmetic, had been carefully attended to. The girls (about 200 in number) were examined by the Rev. M. R. Scott, and at the conclusion the Rev. G. B. Tuson, in a brief though energetic address, expressed the great satisfaction he felt in being able to make a most favourable report of the state of the Regimental Schools, and bore testimony to the zeal and efficiency of the schoolmaster and his assistants. The prizes, consisting of articles of clothing and instructive books, were then distributed by the Gallant Ct.,l6nel, who said that he should not fail to report to the Commandant the very creditable manner in which the children had acquitted themselves, and that he was sure such a report would be received by Sir Thomas Downman with the utmost satisfaction. The national anthem was sung by the children, which closed the proceedings. .~-._ RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. CAMERON'S STEAM COAL AND SWANSEA AND LOUGHOR RAILWAY. A special meeting of this company was held yester day at the office, Moorgate-street, ibr the purpos- of considering and confirming► certain resolutions passtd at the former meeting. Mr. E G. IA inthrop in the chair. The CHAIRMAN brit fly stated Ihe object of the meeting, and said that the proceedings wt-re merely of a formal character, in compliance with their deed of E e erne n t On the motion of Captain NonTitcoTE, seconded by Captain FISHER, a resolution was unanimously paist-d confirming the call of 21. per share beyond the 6/. per share already called up. Mr. SMALLBONE stated thet those who had paid the call of 11. per share some time ago would be allowed that amount when they paid this next call. On the motion of Mr. HALLETT, seconded by Mr. BARHAM, the resolution authorising the directors to proceed with the construction of the branch line from the collieries to Llauelly was also unanimously con firmed. In reply to questions it was stated that contractors were ready to construct the branch line of 2.:1 miles in length, for 4,500/., and open it in three months for traffic, on condition that one third of the money be paid in cash, and the remainder in twelve months ; so that they would have the line in operation nine months before it would be necessary to pay the entire sum for its construction. The Duke of BFAUFORT was disposed to allow the ine to pass over a part of his pr.( peaty on advantageous rtns to the company. _ Allusion was made to the recommendation of the committee of the South Wales Company to extend the line to Carmarthen, which would enable the company, by means of a short branch, to join that line and convey their coals to Swansea, where they would have a good market, as well as to Llanelly. An opinion was expressed that if the shareholders would co-operate in a friendly spirit with the directors, the company would be out of all i►ts difficulties in the course of twelve months. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. HIGH TIDES. TO THE EDITOR or THE TIMES. Sir,— A letter has recently gone the rounds f the papers in which the owners of property and inhabitants on the banks of the Thames are alarmed by a pre • dieted " extraordinary overflow of the tide, so that the probable height at London•bridge will be 30 feet.," on the 29th or 30th inst. The alarm may become a false one; for, although the writer has correctly described that one cause of such overflow will arise from the remarkable coinci dence of both the sun and moon then being at their closest approximation to the earth, and thereby greatly increasing the great tidal wave, yet there must be a far greater cause than planetary influence only to su,tain that alarming prediction ; namely, there must be a powerful gale of wind from the south-west for many days or hours previously, arid the wind must suddenly shift from that quarter and continue to blow with violence from the north and north-north-west ; whereby, in the first instance, an immense body of water will be forced from the Atlantic Ocean into the North Seas, and, in the second instance, that excess will be driven down the German Ocean, and, before it can obtain vent through the narrow channel between Dover and Calais all our northern coasts, and especially those most contiguous to the Thames, would feel the worst effects. All these causes must, however, be simultaneous and co-ope rate ; and therefore, unless at the present time, whilst these remarks are being written, a strong south-west wind is prevailing in the Atlantic, and unless to morrow or following day a similarly powerful wind from the north or north-north-west shall prevail in the German Ocean, the single planetary cause of in creasing the tidal wave—as very properly explained by Mr. Gearing—will not of itself produce the alarm ing effect which he predicts during the ensuing spring tides; but his statement, as well as this explanation of cause and effect, will also apply to the spring tides in the course of the next fortnight, at new moon, al though with less effect. And the owners of property along the banks of the Thames ought to be upon their guard, should the next new moon be preceded by the strong winds before alluded to. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, Margate, Dec. 26. JOHN Boys.

If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural sudply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist ur druggist, or perfumer, an 11+. bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Ilighgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is 14hly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read In his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstene, Merchant, Herbary, Ilighrate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the pest on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Sd., or la., which in cludes the postage with the ease. The 11c. size contains four of the 4s. A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published In the pamphlet enclosed with eaeh bottle. Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighed people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catar.,ct, Nervous Ileadach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the iniormers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by 'ferries, Faq., to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account f its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

Diffidence, or a sanse et right determine the former, and miscalculates( bopes em .ltter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un ,ornprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, Ind broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end soei sl content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

THE POLYTECH NIC, The Christmas shillings came in on Wednesday with the usual profusion, and the galleries and lecture rooms of this well conducted institution were crowded with all sorts and conditions of sight-seekers. The committee of management have provided abundantly for the delectation of the middle and lower classes who are in the habit of frequenting the place, and lecture succeeds lecture throughout the day, while those who do not care to run to the appointed spots when the bell rings have a full employment in examining the numberless works of scientific invention and of curious art with which the lung room end its vestibules are loaded. The list of entertainments, as it at present stand , , comprises lectures by Dr. Bachhoffner and Mr. Ashley on Domestic Philosophy and Popular Che mistry, each agreeably illustrated by amusing experi ments, a new set of Dissolving Views, representing ancient and modern London, wondrous optical illusions; the feats of the diver under water, and a variety of other matters, to describe which is merely reiterating old facts. Nevertheless, although most of these things have been before the public some years, there is always a fresh currept of juveniles to whom they have all the real and absolute charm of novelty ; and we do not know where young people can be taken for a day's pleasure with more solid advantage than here, for there is nothing to which the attention is called that does not illustrate some philosophical prin ciple, whether it be outwardly a toy or a spectacle. Chaperoned by an intelligent monitor, a few hours' lounge in the galleries of the Polytechnic would store an inquiring youth with a world of new ideas, and awaken a species of curiosity calculated to be of the highest moral service. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF IHIS DAY. TIMES.—A whisper from Tamworth at this moment will perhaps attract even more attention than the thunders which have scarcely yet died on the ear from Bradford and Leeds. Mr. Cobden addressed his 37,000 constituents. Sir Robert Peel has just spoken a modest aside to his tenantry at Drayton. Such asides, however, are meant to be heard, and the letter which we publish this day will be diligently conned a►:d digested by everybody in these islands who is in the situation either of the right hon. writer or the persons addressed. Sir Robert's advice to his tenants, and his own mode of procedure, are excellent. We are prepared to hear both of them vehemently attacked, but perhaps we shall anticipate all those attacks, and at the same time explain some misgivings which we cannot suppress, when we say that neither Sir Robert's precept nor example will be universally available. But what of that ? It is equally the case with the best advice and the best examp'e. It is scarcely necessary to ob serve that Sir Robert entreats his tenants to give up all idea of protection. But for the fact of some crazy or designing in cendiaries going about inflaming the poor farmer's soul with that ridiculous expectation, it is not likely Sir Robert would have thought it worth while to mention the subject. Sir Robert then expresses an opinion that the effect of the recent changes will be to maintain low prices in average seasons, and to prevent very high prices in seasons of dearth. Considering the anxiety with which these words will be measured and weighed, they are not quite so clear as one would expect from so practised an exponent. Indeed, Sir Robert seems to feel so himself, for he proceeds to state the same thing in other words. The other words, however, are not more successful than the first, and we can only con jecture Sir Robert's meaning. He expects that the average of prices will now be lower than it has been ; and that prices will never again rise so high as they have done. For example, should the average of wheat for the next ten years be 455., and once or twice in that period the price should stand at 655. for a month or two, we imagine the ex-Premier would consider that a fulfilment of his present conjecture. It is fair, however, to say that he does not think free trade has had a fair trial. The moral and physical circum stances of the country and of the world 'have'been so extraordinary and so exceptional now for these four years, that they afford no certain clue to the prospects of the corn market in ordinary seasons and times. In dealing with his tenantry, therefore, Sir Robert ex pressly reserves his opinion as to the future. lie makes a particular arrangement on the strength of an extraordinary depression, the permanence of which time alone can show. For our own part, we entirely agree that it is premature to anticipate a run of low prices. We are in the midst of great changes, and many things are changing besides protection on agriculture. Gold, the common measure of all markets, is itself on the verge of a change. Europe has just undergone those political convulsions which ever precede great social developements. It remains to be seen whether the population of the continent will go on living upon rubbish and exporting wholesome grain. They who have once lived on wheaten bread can never be driven back to inferior food. The increasing com munications of the continent will diffuse the fastidious tastes of the more wealthy states. All things con sidered, we think Sir R. Peel has used a proper caution in resting his present favours to his tenantry rather on the peculiarities of the present crisis than on the probabilities of the future. Sir Robert ex pects his tenants to pay their Michaelmas rent in the full, but promises if they do so in the course of next month, he will spend 201. out of every 1001. in beneficial improvements; in the choice of which he gives a preference to drainage, to the removal of unnecessary fences, and to the means of preventing the waste of manure. lie also makes some large offers of assistance, on liberal terms, for any further improvements the tenant may desire. Nothing, of course, can be better. It is true that there are not many landlords in the country who are in a condition to spend 20 per cent. of their rent-roll in drainage ; nor yet are all tenants in a condition to pay up before February. In this respect Sir Robert and his tenantry are fortunate men ; and it will be said that none but fortunate men will be able to follow their several examples. On this point we will only repeat what we are aware has often excited the disgust of our Protectionist con temporaries, that every landlord, every tenant farmer, every merchant, every tradesman, and every other person engaged in any sort of spcculatio ~ ought to have a reserve for unfavourable times. lie ought to have money within reach, and he is not acting fairly by the parties with whom he has c )ntrac'ed en fiery engagements if he makes the fulfilment of them depend on the season's, or any other fluctuating ele ment. It is a moral duty to be sure in business, and not to tempt Providence by running the risk of in solvency. This Is ill be thought a hard saying, and perhaps we shall be told the precept " to owe no man anything" is fit only for Quakers and Jews. But it is a maxim of honourable trade, and ought to be a_ maxim of agriculture. No farmer ought to depend wholly on a plentiful harvest or a dear market ; nor ought any landlord to depend wholly on his rent. Assuming this scale of duty and honour, and hoping that there are landlords and tenants able to profit by Sir Robert's example, we must say that it is timely and good, and that he deserves the thanks even of the agricultural interest. IMPORTATION OF CORN.—The revenue authorities having adverted to their order of the 16th of December, 1845, which allowed a period not exceeding one month for the metage of corn imported into the port of London in bags from the British possessions, and also to the provisitns of the 34th section of the Act 12 and 13 Victoria, cap. 90, which requires that the duties im posed on corn, grain, &c., shall be paid immediattly on the importation and entry thereof; and it appearing that the regulations adopted by the order advered to are attended with inconvenience and delay in the ad justment of the official landing accounts—the authori ties have directed that the said order and regulations be rescinded, and have issued orders that on the im portation of corn in bags from the British possessions, five, or more bags, if differing in size, out of every hundred be measured on board the importing ship by the City sworn meter, in order to form an average, from which the quantity contained in the whole importation is to be computed by the meter, and taken account of and delivered by the Customs officer on board, agreeably to the usual practice observed in respect to foreign corn, care being taken that the bags not mea sured be strictly examined by the officer of the revenue on board the ship by spitting, &c., under the supervision of the tide surveyors and other principal superinterding officers of the department, SUICIDE ON • THE YORK. AND SCARBOROUGH RAILWAY.—On Christmas-eve a frightful event occurred at the foot of Matton-bridge, within a short distance of the station at that town. The line crosses the Scar borough turnpike road at this point on a level, where the latter passes out of Matton to the adjoining parish of Norton, with, of course, the usual gates, and a gate keeper in attendance to close and open them as the traffic on the lice or road require. The mail train from Scar borough is due at Matton at five o'clock, shortly before which period a man was observed lingering about this thoroughfare, which is one of the leading ones of the neighbourhood. He entered into conversation with the gatekeeper, asking when the train was due, which line it came upon, and questions of that nature, when at length the gatekeeper signalled its approach, and warned the deceased to remove himself out of danger. Instead of doing so he suddenly cried out that his object was to meet the train, that he was tired of life, and darting for ward threw himself across the rails in front of the ap proaching engine, which passed over him, severing his limbs, and scattering them about the line in various di rections. The act was witnessed by several persons, one of whom endangered his own life by an ineffectual attempt to rescue the deceased. The progress of the train is slackened at this crossing, in consequence of its proximity to the station, but it had sufficient impetus to effeet the object contemplated . by the deceased, in consequence of the rapid and determined manner in which he courted his destruction. The deceased was named Skelton, aged about 21, the son of a labourer living at Old Matton, and had for some time been employed in repairing the roads in the vicinity. The only presumed reason for his committal of this act is that he laboured under an internal disease of a peculiar character, and which he considered, as perhaps it was, incurable. The mother of the deceased is servant and charwoman in several families in the neighbourhood, and happened to be engaged at the house of a gentleman not far from the scene of the catastrophe, when a messenger came in on other buriacss, detailing in the presence of the mother, but without knowing who she was, the particulars of the incident which had happened to a person of the name of Skelton. The poor woman at once felt assured that the deceased was her son, a fact which was shortly after wards confirmed by the arrival of her husband. THE Pe BLIC SALARIES.—Mr. Hume obtained from the House of Commons last sus:ion permission for a return to bo made of all persons employed in the public departments who were in the receipt of salaries of 1501. and upwards per annum. This statement has now been made by the heads of officers to the Treasury, and a complete classification of each amount is now being ar ranged, showing the names of the recipients, and the full amount of each gentleman's income. Mr. Hume's ob ject, it is said, is to tax all Government salaries, in addi tion to the drawback to which they are now liable on account of the income-tax.—Herald.

Sir,—After the able and effectual exertions you have made to put down the passport nuisance, and after the remarks made oN you in the Gall gnani of this day, and the National of yesterday, in which papers some doubts are thrown out on the accuracy of your statements relative to passports, I deem it but justice to state the following facts : On my arrival at Boulogne on Thursday last, I was informed by a commissionaire that I must pay 3f. for a passport. Doubting the accuracy of this state ment, I inquired, on arriving at the Hotel de Londres, of the landlord whether such was the case, stating, that from our newspapers it appeared the nuisance was aboli,hed. His answer to me was, that a pass port ought to be got, that the expense was only 3f., and that measures would be taken in time to render passports unnecessary, but as yet they were not matured. Not quite satisfied with this explanation, and feeling confident that the Times had good grounds for its statement, I walked over to the railway station, inquired for the chief of the police establishment, and put the question to him, " Whether it was neces sary to have a passport ?" His answer was, " They were quite unnecessary." This was confirmed by the event. Our party—three persons and myself, with four servants—were never, in any manner on our route, troubled on the subject. After dinner thesame day, at the Hotel de Londres, the commissionaire came to us in the room, stating, " Gentlemen, — I am come to inform you that 3f. for each passport will be required." When informed by me that I had seen the head of the police, the commissionaire laughed, and acknowledged that he was aware that no passports were required. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Paris, Dec. 25. M. P. GREAT COATS ON FURLOUGH.—At this inclement season of the year, the only one during which furloughs are granted to soldiers, it strixes us us a peculiar and unnecessary hardship that they aro not in many regi ments allowed to take thtir great coats with them. In the protracted and tempestuous passages from different parts of England and Ireland the soldier (generally a desk passenger) is exposed in a thin ri d jacket to the wintry blast uud rain, a privation unknown to the sailor, who is always well protected in a pea-coat. The seeds of consumption and of other dizorders are fre quently laid by this in the young soldier, and (to say nothing of humanity - ) the trifling saving of the great coat's wear and tear to the Ordnance, to whom it be longs, is more (limn counterbalanced by the loss to the service in enlisting a recruit to replace the man, whose healtn may have been ruined, as above stated. We think, also, that in cur humid climate, where, in the Emerald Isle particularly, rain falls Without cessation for several days, the soldiers should be permitted, nay, compelled, to wear their great coats when off duty arid out of barracks.—United Service Gazette.

The views under this old established name are among the " sights " worth patronising by the folks liberated for the time being from the toils of busi ness. The exhibition in Regent street has the merit of being, perhaps, the oldest in the metropolis, some thirty or forty years having passed away since it first invited the public to gaze through its illusive aper tures. The subjects continue to he the same as those we have before eulogised, consisting of Venice, Rome, St. Peter's, Athens, Jerusalem, Switzerland, Kams chatka, and the Egyptian deserts. The painting of these views is admirably adapted for the enlargement to which they are subjected by the glass media through which they are surveyed, and in some cases are really clever and spirited works of art. They are not in all cases simple pictures, but certain dioramic effects are introduced—such as the flame flickering at the crater of the burning mountain—the water fall ing in the Alpine scenery, &c.—which materially enhance the interest. The unobtrusive character of ' these fluctuating accessories gives an air of natural and inartificial truthfulness which works of this mimic class too often want. THE PANORAMA. Probably none o f th e pa i nt i ngs w hi c h h ave b een successively exhibited in groups within Mr. Burford's pleasant circles in Leicester-square, are so fraught with interest as those which are now on view. Since the last holiday time the Valley of Cashmere has been introduced as a subject, and nothing could have been more felicitously chosen. The scenery so vividly described in the enchanting pages of Lalla Rookh is represented in all its natural beauty, and a transcript of one of the most varied spots on the surface of the earth presented to the spectator, who has hitherto enjoyed but an ideal perception of its true aspect. The pencil of Mr. Burford has never been more suc cessfully employed than in realising the external fea tures of this delicious locality, and while it affords a pleasing variety of character, contrasted with the former subjects which have occupied the same apart ment, it merits the warmest panegyric as a work of art. The artists of this establishment stand alone in the execution of these circular scenes, long habit having given them a key to the true methods of achieving upon the "round" effects both pictorial and deceptive. Of the ruins of Pompeii nothing new is to be said, for this view has long since ceased to be a novelty. Nevertheless, the records of the City of the Dead, depicted after certain drawings derived from a personal visit to the exhumed streets, are of undecay ing interest. Travellers are seldom envied more than when relating the impressions they experience during a saunter through these singulbr ruins, which are invested with all the sentiment of the grave without its repulsiveness, and unfold a surface of national characteristics which for 2,000 years were simple matters of history. The skill of the artist establishes the best possible idea of the present state of the city, and the actual appearance of its streets and architec ture; therefore a visit to this section of the Panorama is as instructive to the mind as it is pleasureable to the mere sense of curiosity. The view of Switzer land challet,ges an equal amount of commendation, and kindles sympathy upon the same grounds. Both are representations of great artistic merit, and worthily justify the celebrity which has for so long a period belonged to the name of Burford. PANORAMA OF THE OHIO. Mr. l3anvard, the painter of the immense panorama of the Alississipi, which lately attracted so much notice, has opened another of somewhat similar di mensions at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. The sub ject is the River Ohio, with the craft that crowd its stream, and the cities, towns, and villages that adorn its banks. This is a very interesting painting, and it bears upon it the impress of correctness in regard to delineation. The scenery is of a beautiful character, and must strike a European who nas never visited the shores of America with no little wonder and admiration. Cincinnati, the Queen of the West, and the largest inland city of the United States, forms one of the most prominent objects in the pa norama. The various changes of effect that are in troduced, such as ; the alternation of day and night, the burning of a forest, a white fog, &c., give in• creased interest to the scene. This painting displays more freedom, and a finer idea of colour, than Mr. Banvard's former panorama of the Mississippi, and will, we have no doubt, prove a great attraction during the forthcoming season. TUE ROCHDALE SAVINGS BANK.—During the last week the trustees and managers of the Savings Bank were devising some plan to set on foot a subscription, to meet the claims of the poor depositors; but there is great difficulty in succeeding satisfactorily in this way, as the sum to bo raised is so enormously great. It is no easy matter to raise 60,0001. by a subscription, and the attempt has something in it very discouraging. Yet to meet those difficulties is better than to hold out false hopes to the depositors. One Manchester paper is hold ing out a forlorn hope that Mr. Haworth has some property invested i❑ Leeds. It also hashes up for its readers every week a cock and bull story about some boxes having been removed from the Savings Bank, but all the while keeps back what would explain the whole affair. The late Mr. Johnson, father of Mrs. George Haworth, lived at the Savings Bank. This gentleman died about last May, and left three daughters, viz., Mrs. G. Ilavorth, Mrs. Brigs, and Mrs. Wallis. Ilia (Mr. Johnson's) furniture was divided amongst his three daughters, and taken from the Savings Bank at separate times, as two of these daughters do not live in the town. One of them lives at some distance, and most likely her share of the furniture would have to be sent by " rail." At one of these removals, the writer of this paragraph saw a lurry at the door of the Savings Bank, which took off chairs, tables, and boxes. No one for a moment can imagine that these boxes were filled with gold, and thus publicly sent away.—Man chester Guardian. A GAMEKEEPER SHOT.—A little before one o'clock on the morning of Christmas-day, Robert Orphan, one of the Earl sof Lonadale's gamekeepers, at Lowther Castle, in Westmoreland, was shot by a poacher, at a place called I3essy Gill, in his Lordship's preserves, near Lowther. It appears that Orphan, with four others, were out watching, but at the time the keeper was shot his companions were not near him. In the wood, at a distance of about fifteen yards, the keeper saw the poacher, who, on recognising him, immediately shouldered his gua and fired, without any struggle between them, and instantly ran away. By the light of the moon, the keeper was enabled to see the poacher raise his gun to his shoulder, and crouched to the ground, but the greater portion of the shot lodged in his left thigh, the right side of his breast, his head, and right eye, which was entirely shot out. Ho was soon after wards found by his comrades, and removed home to Lowther Village, where he now lies, little or no hope being entertained of his recovery. About six o'clock on the same morning, the constables at the village of Eamont Bridge, Crispin Pharoah and James Slee, succeeded in capturing Robert Nelson, John Vickers, and Thomas Ferrer, all notorious poachers from Penrith, who had two guns, several pheasants, and other game, in their possession. They are now in the House of Correction, at Penrith, and were to be brought up before the magistrates, charged with shooting Orphan, on Wednesday.
