SIGHT RESTORED!—NERVOUS HEADACHE AND DEAFNESS CURED! By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound! Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure; many thousand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a triaing expense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary to induce the sufferer to snake trial, Kings, Lords, and Commons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned its use. Their late Mo lesting, the Duchess of Kent, the most eminent Oculists, Medical Practitioners —with that gigantic balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celebrated Herbaceous Compound, known as " Grim stone's Eye Snuff," for its efficacy in removing all sliseasee incident to the Eyes and Head.

THE LATE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. NOTTINGHAM, MONDAY, NooN.—After dispatch ing my letter to town yesterday, I proceeded over to Beeston, for the purpose of personally examining that portion of the railway where the accident occurred. Passing through the village of Lenton I met the funeral procession of one of the sufferers, Mr. Var nails, on its way to the bu r i a l- groun d a tt ac h e d t o the handsome new church recently erected in this ancient village. The body was conveyed in a hearse from the residence of Mr. Lee, which is only a short distance from the church—the mourners, nine in number, chiefly consisting of personal friends of deceased, fol- lowing on foot. The coffin was borne into the church by six respectable inhabitants of the village—the whole population of which, indeed, followed the pro cession at a respectful distance, and by their demea nour expressed the s_ympathy th e y f e lt at the melan choly occurrence. The service was performed by the Rev. George Brown, the incumbent of the parish, and when the coffin was lowered into the grave there was scarcely one among the bystanders who did not evince the sincerity of his feeling by shedding a tear to the memory of deceased. No person connected with the railway was present. And here I may as well correct an error in my last report. When referring to Mr. Varnalls, I repre sented him to have formerly held the situation of con fidential servant to Mr. Ichabod Wright, of Colwick Hall. Mapperly is the name of Mr. Wright's seat, and the substitution of Colwick Hall, the celebrated mansion belonging to Mr. Musters, was an error which I hasten to rectify. Inquiring into the circumstances attending the refusal on the part of Godfrey, the landlord of the White Hart, Lenton, to admit poor Varnalls, when brought to his door in a cart from the railway, has satisfied me that the inhumanity complained of was practised to a degree which will be scarcely credited when detailed in the columns of a newspaper. The evidence of those witnesses examined before Mr. Swann, the effect of whose depositions was compressed into a single sentence in my last report, read at length, leaves no doubt, however, of the fact, that when Yarnalls was brought to the door of Godfrey's house, and implored those about him to remove him from the cart, as he felt that he was dying, Godfrey positively refused to allow him to enter his house. The only excuse that Godfrey offers for such inhuman conduct is, that Thursday was the half-yearly rent day of the Lord of the Manor (Mr. Gregory), and that he had a large party of that gentleman's tenants in the house at the time. On the other hand, it should be mentioned that Mr. Gregory's steward, who was in the house, avows that he would have suf fered any inconvenience rather than that the deceased should have been sent away, had he known anything of the occurrence. On reaching the spot where the accident took place, I found a group of individuals congregated in the vicinity. The catastrophe occurred on that por tion of the line which crosses the valley of the Leen by a gentle embankment, about three quarters of a mile from the Beeston station, and exactly three miles from the Nottingham terminus. The railway is per fectly straight at this point for • distance of nearly two miles, and upon any other than a very misty day nothing Could prevent a train being observed at that distance from the Beeston station. There was little in the appearance of the spot yesterday to indicate its having been the scene of so direful an accident so re cently. Workmen were employed during the whole night succeeding the accident in removing all trace of the same, so far as it was possible, but quite enough remained even yesterday to give some idea of the fearful character of the collision. The exact position of the two locomotives at the moment they struck each other was clearly marked by the discolouration of the ground by the furnaces of the two engines, and on the north side of the line, where the quickset hedge had been broken and trampled down in every direction, the bank was strewed with cinders and small portions of the shattered carriages. I inclose you a small piece of the wood picked up on the spot. It was broken from a much larger piece, which had evidently formed the bed or bottom of one of the carriages. Ido not of course assert that the carriages to which the accident occurred were wholly built of wood of this description, but that any such should be contained in them does appear extraordi- nary. I ou will at once observe that the portion inclosed is perfectly rotten, and crumbles with a eery slight touch. The embankment for a distance of about 150 yards has been repaired, and, beyond the appearances above described, there is little worthy of remark. Only one rail appears to have been broken loy the collision, and that is replaced. When the accident occurred, some labourers in the employ of Mr. Chatham, an agriculturist, who farms the land on either side the line, were at work in a ploughed field close at hand with their carts spread ing manure. In these vehicles the unfortunate suf ferers were conveyed to Lenton (two miles distant) and Nottingham, as previously described ; those who were not too much injured to walk a few paces taking shelter in the farm-houses near the spot, and some proceeding to Beepton. I was a little surprised, while making observations yesterday, to find that the officials had not taken the precaution to place an officer near the fatal spot. A group of at leant thirty persons were at one period upon the line, at the very time that a train passed towards Nottingham. I am informed, however, that since the amalgamation of the Midland lines, in July last, policemen and all other officers are somewhat scarce on each, and certainly my own observation in traversing the line from Leicester to this place, on Saturday, leads me to believe this a correct state ment. At two stations, before reaching Loughbo rough, at each of which no less than from twenty to thirty passengers alighted, a single officer had charge of the station, and performed the treble duty of an nouncing the name of the place, opening the carriage doors, and receiving the tickets from the passengers. It is worthy of remark and animadversion also, that this latter duty was not performed in either case until the train had departed—the other duties to which the officer had to attend entirely precluding him from en tering upon this most essential one at an earlier period. I must not forget to mention that, so far as I could judge, there was a sort of locomotive 'porter to attend to the passengers' luggage. This individual travelled with the train, and was industriously em ployed at each station. Without imputing the present melancholy catas trophe to causes arising from a system so evidently bad as that above described, it is not too much to say that, when the non-ability to remove a tender which had accidentally slipped off the rail within a few yards of a principal station, is the only assignable reason for adopting a proceeding which did result in so shocking an accident, the public mind will refer to other circumstances in some degree coincident, and imperatively demand that an improved system of management should take place. The probable result of the inquiry before thr Coro ners is, as I stated on Saturday, a subject of extreme anxiety among all parties here. A great deal of per sonal feeling is, I fear, mixed up in the affair, and, from what I can gather, I should not be surprised if two verdicts, at total variance with each other, are returned by the respective juries. The evidence of Howitt and Cooper tells forcibly against Mr. Lightfoot, and there has been nothing brought forward up to the present time calculated to rebut their testimony. It is reported to me, that when Mr. Lightfoot insisted upon returning to Not tingham, the driver of the Derby train threw his cap upon the ground, and positively refused to direct the engine. Unfortunately, however, he ultimately yielded to tie request of his superior officer, and thus the collision took place. On all hands it is admitted as somewhat extraordinary, that if Mr. Lightfoot felt so confident he was incurring no risk, the train on which he travelled should be proceeding at so slow a rate, as sworn to in evidence. Had it, however, been 'otherwise, and both trains had met when it full speed, the consequences which necessarily must have ensued are too awful to con template. I am not aware that any accident similar to the present has previously occurred on any of the English railways. There can be no doubt that the circum stances require the fullest and most complete investi gation, and some satisfaction has been felt here at the presence of the Government inspector, Major-General Pasley. I regret to add, that this eeling has been changed to one of disappointment, on learning that the General left Nottingham this morning by an early trail, and therefore cannot attend any inquiry before either of the Coroners. Had the cause of the Ge neral's abience been publicly known, the case might have been different; but as it is, all is left to conjecture. The mutilated sufferers by the .accident remain in much the same state as at the date of my last report. Some, however, are lying at places so far distant from hence, that I do not get ready information concern ing them. Mr. Roberts was slightly better last night. The operation he underwent was of a fearful character, considering the low state to which his injuries had re duced him. His leg was broken in two places—the one above and the other below the knee, the bone being much crushed, and the large sinews greatly in jured. Amputation was commenced at a short d►s tance above the knee, but the surgeons discovered that gangrene had already taken place in that portion of the leg, and the limb was ultimately taken off close to the body. As affording a satisfactory contrast to the conduct of the landlord of the White Hart, at Lenton, that of Mr. Pick, of the Three Wheat Sheaves, may be men tioned. Among the sufferers conveyed to his house was an old gentleman named Grenton, of Doorcliffe, near Burton-on-Trent. He was much crushed, and continued insensible for some time after he was got to bed. By the application of stimulants and other remedies, he was brought round during the evening sufficiently to give his name and residence, when Mr. Pick immediately dispatched a servant by his own horse and gig to the place named, and although thirty miles distant from Lenton, at four o'clock on Friday morning the wife and child of the poor old gentle man were at his bed-side. Mr. Grenton is going on favourably. THE ADJOURNED INQUEST ON MR. and the subsequent proceedings up to the point of Howitt's arrival. He continued—l saw Mr. Raven go out of the station to meet Howitt, and I heard Howitt inform him that he had come from Nottingham to stop anything from going on the down line until the up train had arrived. Howitt then went into the station, and subsequently into the Victoria Hotel. I heard Mr. Lightfoot inform Mr. Raven that the train which was to leave Nottingham for Derby at ten minutes to three o'clock would come up on the right or up line, and he would go down with the Derby train, which was momentarily expected to arrive. The train arrived in a few minutes, and Mr. Light foot did so, the train leaving the Beeston station at a very slow pace. In about two minutes after the train had left I heard a loud crash, and I informed Mr. Raven of the circumstance, when he came on to the platform, and we listened together for some minutes, but heard nothing more. The London down mail train was due about this time, and Mr. Raven sent me up the line to stop it. I took a red flag, and went about half a mile up the line, where I stopped the train, and subsequently, by the direction of the guard, proceeded towards Long Eaton, a distance of three miles from Beeston, where I stopped an engine which was coming down the line, and returned upon it to the Beeston station. On reaching there I heard from Mr. Raven that the trains had run into each other. When I saw the policeman Howitt coming up to wards the Beeston station he was running very fast, with his coat upon his arm. Mr. Lightfoot had ar rived previously. I was directed to turn a red ball at the station, to stop any train from passing it. About half an hour elapsed after Mr. Lightfoot's arrival before I was directed to go up the line to stop the trains. I left Beeston station before I knew actually what had occured. I heard no conversation between Mr. Lightfoot and the driver of the dowr train before it started, nor did I hear Howitt speak to Mr. Lightfoot. From the position I was in con versation might have passed without my hearing it. I saw Howitt get on the last carriage of the down train. I observed no hesitation en his part to do so. I am positive I new nothing of what had happened before I left Beeston. I saw several persons about the station before the down train from Derby arrived, but I observed neither of them particularly. I saw some there after the train had left, but I observed none particularly. By_ Mr. Swann, a juror —I heard Mr. Lightfoot say the Nottingham train would come up the right line, and I am of opinion he thought it would do so. By the Foreman—l have been to Derby since the accident, and there examined as to the accident by Mr. Clarke, the superintendent, and Mr. Bell, the secretary. Mr. Patchitt observed that measures were taken immediately after the close of the inquest on Friday night to prevent the witnesses from holding any communication with Mr. Raven, the station-master, and thus he had been sent to Derby. The Foreman—What was the nature of the ex amination you were subjected to ? Before the witness could reply to this question, Mr. Patchitt rose, and said he had the whole taken down in writing, which was entirely at the service of the Coroner and jury if they required it. This was declined, and the examination of the wit ness continued. By a juror —I did not hear Howitt say to Raven, that if he was station-master he would not let a down train start from Beeston until the Nottington train had arrived. By another juror —The up train from Nottingham to Derby was a few minutes over due when Mr. Lightfoot started on the Derby train towards Not tingham. The London mail down train was also due at that time. The only step taken to prevent the mail train from going by the Beeston station was turning the red signal board in the usual manner, but the afternoon was so foggy that I do not think the signal could have been seen by the driver of the engine, and had it arrived before I went up the line with the red flag, my opinion is it would have gone right on towards Nottingham. By the CORONER, at the suggestion of Mr. Patchitt —No two trains are allowed to start within ten minutes of each other from any station. The driver of the mail train might have seen the signal board on arriving close to it, and then he might have stopped the train and backed. By Mr. Patchitt—l have seen fog signals, and know the manner in which they are used. There are none at the Beeston station. They are carried by the engine-driver generally. By Mr. Cooper (on behalf of the widow of de ceased)—The Derby train started from the Beeston station at an unusually slow speed. The fog was so thick I could not see more than one hundred yard before me. I did not observe any increase in the rate of speed before the train got out of sight. Ido not know who started the train. The trains are started by a white flag now—a bell was formerly used. I never heard so loud a crash as that when the accident oc curred. I told Mr. Raven of it, and he then said," He would not let the London mail train go down until the up train had arrived." I then went up the line with a red flag to stop it. The witness, who gives his evidence in a very lucid manner, and answers the questions addressed to him with a readiness which few in his station could imitate, is again under examination by the jury, and I am compelled at this point to break off my report, as the last train is on the point of leaving for town.] THE "LEAGUE" and the COUNTY of MIDDLESEX. A very important meeting was held yest e rd a y, i n the League Rooms, the object of which was to take the necessary steps in reference to the county of Mid dlesex, so as to make the return of free-trade Mem bers in any coming election certain. The meeting, which was a very crowded one, was composed of highly influential gentlemen, well known as ardent supporters of the Free trade movement. Amongst others, were the Hon. C. P. Villiers, M.P.; J. L. Ricardo, Esq., M.P. ; Messrs. W. A. Wilkinson, Camberwell ; Thomas F. Gibson ; W. Leavers, James Harker; W. Cumming, &c., &c. G. WILSON, Esq., the Chairman of the Council of the League, who presided, opened the proceedings by detailing the plan already adopted with so much success in Lancashire, and now in progress in the West Riding of Yorkshire, with every prospect of the same result, viz., of creating a majority of free trade voters by the increase of 40s. freeholders. Several gentlemen delivered their sentiments,warmly approving of the project, and promising their co-ope ration to achieve the desired end. The object proposed was very warmly received, and a most enthusiastic spirit pervaded the meeting. A numerous and influential Committee was ap pointed, and after the necessary preliminary arrange ments were made the meeting was adjourned till to morrow, when active operations will commence. Thanks were voted to the chairman and the meet ing separated. [ADVERTISEMENT.] AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF IN ABSCESS IN THE KNEE, BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.- Henry Croft, residing at 18, Castle-street, Southwark, was an in-patient at St. Thomas's Hospital, for an ab scessed knee, and came out as incurable on the Ist of June last year, after being there three months. In July last he left Guy's Hospital, where he had been four weeks, and pronounced incurable—indeed, they recom mended his leg to be taken off—yet, however wonderful it may appear, he has just been cured by the use of Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—Sold at Professor Hol loway's Establishment, 244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis), and by almost all respectable venders of medicine throughout the civilised world. ISERfous ACCIDENT.—On Thursday afternoon, a rather dangerous accident occurred at the side of the Calton llill, which is being bored for the tunnel of the North British Railway. The charge, which if not too strong, had at all events not been sufficiently covered, on being fired exploded with tremendous force, some of the stones, in many cases weighing several pounds, being carried to a great distance in the direction of the north back of the Canongate. A crowbar which was lying on the brushwood, and weighing 11 cwt., was thrown to the distance of 70 yards. Unfortunately, two men who were standing in New-street were struck by pieces of the rock —one of them, Alexander peppy, a brassfounder, had his head, left knee, ankle, and hand, all more or less in jured, particularly his knee, the bone of which was splintered. The other, Robert Simpson, mason, be longing to Leith, was wounded by a stone on the back of the head. The person in charge of the blast was ap prehended, and awaits the investigation of the authora uthorities. Whether proper warning was or was not given in t his stance, there can be but one opinion that the authorities must take efficient steps to protect the lieges from the recurrence of accidents of so dangerous a nature.—Scots- man.

JOHN DEAN. Foust o'CLocK, P.m.—Pursuant to adjournment from Friday evening last, the jury impannelled before Mr. Michael Browne, the borough coroner, re assembled this afternoon, at two o'clock, at the General Hospital, further to investigate the circumstances attending the death of the above unfortunate gentle man. Among those present I observed Mr. Youle, Mr. G. B. Paget, and Mr. Hutchinson, directors ; Mr. P. Clarke, superintendent ; and r. Fox Bell, secretary to the company. Messrs. Wadsworth and Patchitt attended on be half of the Railway Company. Mr. Lightfoot, accompanied by Mr. Bruce Camp bell, his legal adviser, entered the room before the proceedings commenced. Mr. James Coope, solicitor, attended on behalf of Mrs. Dean, the widow of the unfortunate deceased, to watch the proceedings. Mr. Swann, the county coroner, and two or three members of the Lenton jury, were also present in the room. I append a list of the jury, which consists of fifteen of the most respectable inhabitants of Nottingham : Mr. W. Taylor, stationer, foreman ; Mr. J. 'Wilson, hosier ; Mr. T. Carver, hosier ; Mr. Franklin Judd, draper ; Mr. W. Cripps, lace-manufacturer ; Mr. John Swann, draper ; Mr. W. B. Carter, lace-manufac turer; Mr. T. Hucknall, cheesemonger ; Mr. George Dales, gentleman ; Mr. R. Whitchurch, lace-manu facturer; Mr. F. Hewitt, hosier • Mr. J. R. Allen, paper-manufacturer; Mr. E. Goldsmith, tailor; Mr. W. Roome, draper; Mr. A. Lacy, tailor. Of the above list three gentlemen—Messrs. Wil son, Carver, and Judd—are aldermen of the borough. Mr. Taylor, the foreman, and Messrs. Cripps, Swann, and Carter, are also members of the town council. Before swearing the jury on Friday, Mr. Browne inquired whether any among them were proprietors in the railway, or otherwise interested in it ? and each having answered negatively, the in q uiry pro ceeded. _ _____ The depositions of Cooper and Hciwitt, as taken before Mr. Browne on Friday, differ in no respect from those received by Mr. Swann, the county coroner. _ As I stated on Saturday, a witness named Raven, the station-master at Beeston, not called by Mr. Swann, was examined by Mr. Browne. His evidence directly denies the statements made by Cooper and Howitt, as to his having been cautioned not to allow the down train to proceed towards Nottingham. Be yond this there is nothing worthy of remark. The medical testimony as to the cause of death is curious. After detailing the injuries discovered on the post mortern examination, Mr. Libson, the house surgeon to the hospital, says—There was no external injury save a few scratches on the face and shins. There was a slight projection over the loins, and be neath this several ounces of blood were effused under :he skin. There was not a single bone broken throughout the frame, nor was there any external sign of concussion, save the swelling over the loins, which itself was not discoloured. On opening the body much blood was found in the belly—behind the breast-bone and in the texture of the diaphragm. This blood arose from an enormous rent in the liver, which almost divided that organ in two parts. Some bloody fluid was effused extensively over the posterior surface of the brain. I believe the great internal in jury to the liver (while the case containing that organ was scarcely at all injured) was due to the sur face of the body, which had an enormous momentum, being brought suddenly to a stand-still, while the organs within the body dashed themselves forward with the rate they had previously acquired—the result being that the liver tore itself away from its ligament almost into two parts. At the same time the whole of the posterior part of the brain was dashed against the back part of the skull, and these injuries were sufficient to cause death in a few minutes. The jury having answered to their names, The CORONER stated that the Government inspector of railways, Major-General Pasley, had arrived at Nottingham on Saturday, and had an interview with him, at which he promised to attend the adjourned inquiry that afternoon. Under these circumstances he must confess himself surprised at the receipt of a letter from the General that morning, which he would read to the jury. Mr. Browne then read the letter as follows : "Nottingham, Nor. 23, 1844, 9 y.m. " Sir,—l arrived here this morning, intending to be present to-day and Monday next, the 25th inst., at the coroner's inquest, over which you are to preside, which I expected to sit to-day. " Finding, however, that your proceedings are postponed till Monday at two o'clock, and having in the meantime personally examined a number of wit nesses respecting the late unfortunate railway colli sion near Beeston, by whose testimony I have ob tained a perfect opinion as to the CALM which led to the collision, and also as to the precautions which would have prevented it, I am satisfied that my re maining here any longer would not be of any use, and therefore I shall return to London early on Monday morning, where I have other business that will fully occupy my time. Meanwhile, I can only say that it would be un becoming in me to offer the slightest hint or sugges tion by anticipating the verdict of the jury over which you preside, though I have not the smallest doubt that their decision and yours will coincide with my own. —I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, " C. 11. PASLEY, Major-General, &c." The reading the above letter excited great surprise among the jury, and The CORONER said he could not fail to remark that if the Seneral had obtained evidence leading him to form a correct conclusion as to the cause of the acci dent, belt it a great pity they (the jury) were not in possession of the same. Mr. Patchitt, on the part of the railway Company, said he was aware what witnesses the General had examined, and he was prepared to say that the whole of them would be forthcoming, if the jury required it. This remark led to a discussion among the jury, in the course of which several of them expressed consi derable surprise at the course pursued by the In spector-General. Mr. Patchitt explained that in the inquiry made by the General ha had been accompanied by Mr. Bell, the secretary ; and in answer to the foreman, said that he had not only examined witnesses put before him by the Company, but all such persons as he himself thought would be able to throw light on the matter. The CORONER closed the discussion by remarking that he certainly could not clearly understand the object of the letter written by General Pasley, and he would much rather not have received it. At this stage of the inquiry, Mr. Bruce Campbell complained of the exparte statements put forth in third editions of the Notting ham papQrs, published on Saturday, calculated to do serious injury to his client, Mr. Lightfoot. He had to request that that gentleman should be himself examined before any other witness was called, as being calculated to give a more correct statement of the melancholy occurrence than any other individual. This proposition was at once overruled by the Coroner, and the first witness called was Thomas Deacon, a youth aged fourteen years, as sistant to the station master at Beeston, who, in reply to the questions addressed to him by the Coroner, said—l was on duty at Beeston station on Thursday afternoon. I have spoken to Mr. Clark, the superin tendent, and Mr. Bell, the secretary to the Company, on the subject of the accident which occurred on Thursday last. I have not been examined by General Pasley. The witness here detailed the arrival of the London train at Beeston on Thursday afternoon. his statement differed in no particular from that of Cooper in reference to Mr. Lightfoot's arrival by this train, BATTUE SHOOTIN . TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Although a game preserver myself, and that over come thousands of acres, I have seen with the greatest pleasure the powerful attacks made by the respectable portion of the press, and that, too, with out distinction of party, against the present extensive system of game preserving; which, had it been pur posely devised with the intention of demoralising the peasantry, could not possibly have been more success ful ; and this for the mere purpose of keeping up the unsportsmanlike practice of battue shooting, enabling a few cockneys to slaughter their game without the healthy excitement and exercise which ought to be the accompaniment of a day's sport; and I should feel much obliged to any party, who professes " to do unto others that which he would they shoukl do unto him," to explain what difference there is in the conduct of a man who exposes to the public gaze and touch valuable jewellery, and then prosecutes the un fortunate who cannot withstand the temptation, and the game preserver who keeps in a field adjoining the miserable huts of half-fed peasants scores of hares and pheasants, and then prosecutes them if they snare one on entering their gardens to devour, perhaps, their morning meal. All I know is, that both judges and jurymen agree in denouncing the conduct of the former. Game preservers prevent this by having made laws constituting themselves both judges, and jurymen, and executioners. First, I will tell you my mode of game preserving. Over a large tract of country I have only one keeper (no watcher), who could never perform his duty ex cept with the good-will of the farmers. His instruc tions are, whenever a tenant complains that the game is getting too plentiful, to go and shoot them down as he would vermin, especially hares, which are doing some mischief, be it much or little, every day in the year ; and whenever any tenant wishes to have a hare, he gets it as a right which he has acquired by having fed the beast. In this way my tenants are the best game pre servers, to an extent quite sufficient for a day's sport with a day's exercise. The game is not so abun dant as to tempt a trespasser, who would, in all pro bability, be immediately detected ; for unless it is very plentiful, a farmer detests a poacher, who breaks fences, leaves open gates, disturbs stock, and if hard pushed, makes no scruple of stealing poultry, or even sheep, should an opportunity occur ; but when game swarms, the tenant is forced to tolerate the poacher to get rid of a worse nuisance. I will now state a mode, which I trust will be as successful with hares and pheasants as I have found it to be with black cocks and grouse, and if so, its practice would put a greater check to the present in tolerable extent of game preserving than any law which can be expected from our present Legislators ; for, however extensive are a man's domains, or how ever numerous his keepers, he must hare a boun dary ; and this plan has also the good effect of punish ing in the most severe manner such a neighbour as I am unfortunately troubled with. The keeper builds about thirty yards asunder, and in the form of a triangle, three ricks of straw—one of them hollow, in which to conceal himself; the others with a sheaf or two of corn placed on the top. These are placed in a corn field, near the boundary, and they very soon collect an immense quantity of both black game and grouse. After the birds are accustomed to the haunt, the keeper hides himself in, the one that is hollow, and with two or three double barrelled guns, gets several shots, at perhaps twenty birds sitting at thirty yards distance ; the result you may guess. Strange to say, as long as the keeper remains unseen, the birds do not appear alarmed, al - though their companions are dropping by their side, and he generally fires all the guns before he emerges to collect the spoil; he then conceals himself again, when the same process is gone through, and this three or four times of an evening, when an assistant is ne cessary to carry away the game. By having similar stacks, a mile or two apart, and visiting each only twice a week, game-preserving is out of the question, especially when the land is rather lower than the hills which the birds frequent in fine weather, and for breeding, for the plan is most effica cious in misty weather; and even during rain, when the birds descend in great flocks, for shelter as well as food. Of course it will be said that this is unsportsman like ; so it is, and so is battue shooting ; but this is all that can be said against the former, while nothing can be said in favour of the latter ; and if parties will preserve game to the extent which it is the fashion to to do, I know of no mode of administeringsuch severe punishment without getting into the trammels of the law.—l am, Sir, your very obedient servant, A SPORTSMAN.
