SHOOTING IN EPPING FOREST.—At the Ilford Petty Sessions, held on Saturday last, William Blake and Thomas Greenwood, the former landlord of the East India Arms, High-street, Poplar, and the latter also a publican iu the same neighbourhood, appeared to an information laid against them under the Game Act, for being, on the 20th of :November, found in Hainault Forest beating for game, the property of her Majesty the Queen, by which they had ren dered themselves liable to a fine of 2/. each. The defendants pleaded guilty to being in the forest, but denied that they were beating for game. William Labour, a keeper, proved that on the day named he was on duty in that part of the forest called " The Martin," when he heard the report of a gun proceed from the " bogs." He went there and saw the two persons at the bar walking by the bog with a dog; the dog going before beating for game. Having ascertained from Mr. Paulin, who came up at the time, that they bad given their names, he allowed them to go, and laid the pre sent information. In answer to the charge, the accused par ties denied that they were beating for game. They had met Mr. Paulin, who had told them that they had no business there ; and they were leaving when the gamekeeper came up. They had had no sport, and that was their first appearnce in the forest. Mr. Paulin said that he held a deputation from her Majesty to shoot in the forest; but, owing to the great number of trespassers recently, the game was nearly all de stroyed. With respect to the accused saying that that was the first time they had been in the forest, it was most strange that they should be able to find the only part of the forest where any snipes were to be found. After some remarks the Behch fined the defendants 10s. each and costs, which was immediately paid. SINGULAR DEATH BY SUFFOCATION AT ENFIELD. —On Saturday Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the Red Lion, Enfield highway, on the body of Mr. William Herbert, aged sixty-five, a master butcher. Mr. Frederick Amey, landlord of the house, stated that deceased came there on Thursday evening last, about seven o'clock, perfectly sober, and hav ing drunk a moderate quantity of grog and ale, left at ten o'clock, intending to return home. He did not do so, and at midnight, his family becoming alarmed, came to the pub lic-house to look for him. Not, of course, being there, a second search took place, and on the following morning he was found at the end of the public-house yard, lying flat, with his face immersed in some liquid manure six inches deep that flowed through a drain from the privy. His watch, twelve sovereigns, and some silver were found safe upon his person. How he got into the yard was inexplicable. Ver dict, "Accidentally suffocated." LOCK-JAW ur di;;;;..--On Monday morning, be tween eight and nine o'clock, a young man, named Robert Bull, aged thirty, a harness-maker, of Rural-place, Mile end-road, was gaping whilst he was sitting at breakfast with his family, and was seized with lock-jaw. He was removed to the London Hospital, and after several hours' exertion the surgeons succeeded in relaxing the muscles. ACCIDENT TO A SUB -MARINE ELECTRICAL TELE GRAPH.—We mentioned on Saturday, that the wires of the electro-magnetic telegraph were laid on the bed of the East River,encased in a leaden tube. We regret now to announce thadi the connection between the shores is already severed. The ship Charles, from Liverpool, on Saturday afternoon, brought up the coil on the flukes of the anchor. The great weight caused the sailor boys to heave with a will, and when it began to wriggle and writh near the surface, they thought they had caught the veritable sea serpent himself. Ropes were in im mediate demand, but before they could be used the pipes and wires parted, and the two shores are as distant as ever they were.—New York Commercial. SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT NEWBURT.—AS Mr. W. Somerset, Marlborough, Wilts, a large grazier, farmer, and dealer, was going to the cattle show held here on Friday, driving a spirited horse in his gig, down the hill approaching Speenhamland, there meeting a carriage, Mr. Somerset's horse took fright, running furiously into the town of New bury, dashing with frightful speed until he ran the wheels of the chaise against a lamp-post, throwing out Mr. Somer set; upon his being taken up and conveyed to a surgeon's (one happening to be near), it was discovered the fall had ..aused a fearful wound on his head, and other parts of his ..)ody. He was taken up quite insensible, with but little topes of his recovery, and is still remaining in a very pre arious state up to this time (Saturday). The chaise was lashed to pieces, and the horse also mach hurt. It was pro "ridential no further mischief was done, the streets being at the time exceedingly croweed with people, having come to Nlewbury to view the fat stock then and there exhibiting. CORN -LAW FACTS.—In 1836, when the average irica of wheat was 40& per quarter, the poor-rates of Salford mounted to 5,200/. ; while in 1840, when wheat was 68s. 6d. er quarter, the poor-rates amounted to 17,100/. Let the de-payers and the poor, whose increased distress called for iese increased demands, judge whether low or high prices re most for their advantage. Two CROPS OF POTATOES IN A YEAR.---Early in e month of March, Mr. Peter Johnson, shoemaker, Letham, anted out a plot of ground in his garden with the ash sf early potatoes, which he found fit for use by the end of al e, when the ground was cleared of them. On the Ist of ily, the ground being again well prepared, he planted a )p of the common second earlies, which grew rapidly and .omised a fair return. They were lifted on the Ist of No anber, and turned out about an average crop. He laid ide a portion of both kinds for seed next year, which ap ared to be perfectly free of any kind of disease.—Fifeshiro ,urnal. TEE GLASGOW WESTERN BAN K. — Yesterday morn ; (Friday) the bank opened earlier than usual, ready and :pared to meet every demand upon it, on the instant; but 3 absurd panic had fairly subsided, and the business of the ak—one of the most respectable in the kingdom— qu i etly needed as usual. We do not believe that a single mer int or manufacturer of this city, of any standing or intelli ice, was in the slightest degree affected by it, or counsel iced it in any manner of way. If such there be, " go, mark a well !" On the contrary, we believe that every intelli lt merchant and manufacturer scouted it from the very t, as well they might. But it is clear that some malicious lons or other have been at the bottom of this business, we hope they will be found out and exposed , an d sig ly punished. It is the duty of the bank to endeavour to ce them out, and to bring them to public justice; and it is duty of all the banks to make common cause in the same y, for the fraud (it is a fraud to originate and propagate a e statement injurious to the community) may affect the ik more or less. We say this because the banking system Scotland is now founded on the safest principles, and he is oe to his country that would insidiously attempt to assail uadermine it in any way.—Scotch Reformers' Gazette.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 9. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE BRADSHAW. This bankrupt, who was a draper at St. Alban's, came up for his certificate. He was opposed on the ground that he had improperly assigned the whole of his pro perty just previously to his bankruptcy, to secure a large debt due to his brother. The trade assignee com plained of the bankrupt's conduct, not only in not ren dering an account as directed by the Court, but that he had grossly insulted him. It was said that he was still in a good business, and his wife bad a large private income. The bankrupt now denied his previous admission of the removal of property belonging to him. He said it was not his. He, however, admitted having got rid of one horse, but he offered to pay the value. The COURT said that if he did so the certificate would be allowed, not else. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. THE THAMES, SOUTHEND,AND NORTHERN AND EASTERN JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.--Yesterday Mr. Char nock, the barrister, appeared before Alderman Gibbs for the purpose of applying for a summons calling upon the Secretary of the Thames, Southend, and Northern and Eastern Railway Company, to answer for having in serted the name of Mr. Richard Garde, a member of the bar, in the prospectus of the Company, as one of the Provisional Committee, without that gentleman's know ledge or consent. Mr. Charnock said he applied for the summons under the 7th and Bth of Victoria, cap. 110. His client was a gentleman who happened never to have had anything at all to do with railway speculations, so that the proceed ings he had to complain of naturally excited the utmost surprise and indignation. No authority bad ever been given by him to use his name in any Railway Company, and the first intimation that he received that he was a Provisional Committeeman was the following docu ment : " The Thames, Southend, and Northern and Eastern Junction Railway Company. " Sir,—l am desired by the Committee of Manage ment to inform you that 100 shares have been reserved in this undertaking for each gentleman of the Provisional Committee. " You are, therefore, requested to insert in the ac companying form the number of shares you wish to be allotted to you not exceeding 100. " I am also desired to inform you that the Managing Committee have fixed Saturday, the Bth of November next, as the last day upon which the deposits on any shares you may require can be received.----I remain, - Sir, your very obedient servant, " ANDREW ELLISON, " Company's Temporary Offices, 53, Cornhill London. Mr. Hill, the solicitor, appeared on behalf of two in habitants of Lambeth-bill, Doctors'-commons, to obtain a warrant to apprehend the keeper of a disorderly house in that thoroughfare. He had served notice on Mr. Hodgson, the Superintendent of the City Police, to ap pear and be bound by the Magistrate to prosecute the offender at the next sessions ; and to warrant the Ma gistrate in so binding him the inhabitants were prepared to make oath that they had the necessary evidence to sustain the indictment. He had also given notice to the overseers that he had served notice on the Super intendent of Police, as required by the statute. Mr. Hodgson had not obeyed the notice, by which he had forfeited 201., and the overseers objected to be bound to prosecute. Mr. Ferrer said the overseers did not decline to do their duty, but they prayed for an adjournment for a fortnight, in order that the object might be effected with out anything like the expense of a prosecution, of which the two inhabitants themselves would have to bear their portion. It was a small parish, and it was desirable to avoid great expenses. Upon obtaining a conviction the two inhabitants would be each entitled to a sum of 10/. out of the poor rates, but he did not suppose this had stimulated them to take this unusual course, instead of allowing the inquest to present the nuisance to the Court of Aldermen, who would have instituted a pro secution. Mr. Hill said that this reward had no weight with his clients. They had complained to the parochial authori ties, and the nuisance had been permitted to continue for nine months. Finding the law would enable them to suppress the evil at their own will, they had determined to do so, and he saw no reason for permitting the nuisance for another fortnight. Mr. Farrer said he objected to the form of the notice. There was a ward beadle residing in the same parish, and he was the proper person to be bound. By the statute notice was to be given to the constable of the parish or place, or other peace officer of the like nature where there is no constable. Mr. Teague, the chief clerk, thought this was a good objection. Thought the old system of constable,, chosen by each precinct or parish, was suspended as long as the police force was maintained, yet each ward had a beadle, who was sworn as a constable. He was the officer ap parently indicated, and his local knowledge would be advantageous in such proceedings. Mr. Alderman HUNTER said, as a lawyer, his opinion was worth little, but applying his common sense to in terpret the statute, he thought, too, the ward beadle was the proper constable to be bound. Mr. Hill referred to two sections of the City Police Act, to show that the force were clothed with all the powers and functions that appertained to a constable. Mr. Farrer said he had no wish to screen the offen ders, but only to avoid a needless expense. In the ward where he resided such annoyances were always put down in a week. Mr. Alderman Wilson, and all the Common Councilmen went in a body to the house, and gave the party a few hours' notice to quit. If this did not suffice, all persons concerned in carrying on the nuisance were instantly proceeded against, and a watc h. man and lanthorn were placed at the door. Mr. Hill still pressing to go on, Mr. Alderman HUNTER said he would be guided by the City Solicitor. The City Solicitor attended, and having heard the ar guments of the Learned Gentlemen, he said the poii►t raised was of too much importance to be settled hastily, but he thought as a ward was a recognised division of the City, and the ward beadle was a peace officer, he answered the description of constable of the " plac e : , He would write to the parties when he bad considered the matter. The parties retired. BOW-STREET. " Dated the 30th October, 1845." The letter inclosed the following printed form:— " To the Managing Committee of the Thames, South end, and Northern and Eastern Junction Railway Company. " Gentlemen,—l request that you will allot me shares in the above undertaking, and I hereby undertake to accept the same ;and to pay the deposits thereon, and to sign the necessary deeds, when called upon to do so. Win. M'Carthy, a corporal in the Royal Marines, stn tioned at Deptford, and who was for some time a constabl, in the D division of police, was brought up in custody, and placed at the bar, charged with having stabbed in the eye with his bayonet a young man named John Muggeridge. Prior to any evidence being gone into, Inspector Tedman handed to the Magistrate a certificate from one of the sur geons at Middlesex Hospital, which set forth that the suf ferer was, owing to a wound inflicted upon him, unable to attend. Wm. Henright was the first witness examined, and his statement was as follows :—I live at 15, Grafton-court. Between nine and ten o'clock last night I was standing at the corner of Girth-passage, and two girls were there, one of whom was named Elisabeth Dibley. Prisoner was there, and he spoke to one of the girls, when Dibley said to her, " If you don't go away, and have nothing to say to him, I'll tell your brother." Upon this the prisoner slapped Dibley 's face, and she returned it ; Muggeridge, the wounded man, came up, and said to the girl, " What's the matter ? Come home with me, and if he follows us we'll chuck him out of the window." Prisoner said, " Will you ?" Muggeridge then repeated the threat, the girl also saying, "So we will." The prisoner then put his hand to his side, and draWing forth his bayonet, made a thrust at Muggeridge, whom he stabbed some where in the head ; he then returned his bayonet to its sheath. Mr. RAWLINSON—Did he say anything at the period of his making the thrust as you have stated ? Witness. —No, sir, and I don't know for certain whether he really intended to stab the man or not. When I saw the stab I ran away. Inspector Tedman said the witness told him at the station-house that he saw the prisoner wilfully thrust his bayonet into Muggeridge's eye. He was remanded till Monday next. On Saturday last, a man named Thos. Kent was brought to this Court, charged with having quitted the service of his master, Mr. Brown a baker, carrying on business at No. 7, Chapel street, Edgware-road, without giving him proper notice. The case was proved ; and The Magistrate told the prisoner that unless be could make his peace with his master, he should be committed for 14 days. The parties retired into the outer office, but as they could not come to any arrangement, the prisoner was locked up. At five o'clock, the prisoner was conveyed in the van to Clerkenwell, and shortly after his arrival there, he became so ill as to render it necessary to call a surgeon. He was promptly attended to, but in the course of a few hours, he died from the effects of poison, which he had taken on his way to his destination. A phial, marked " poison," was found upon his person. Mr. Chesterton, the Governor of the House of Correc tion came to the Court to-day, and had some conversa tion with Mr. Rawlinson, relative to the particulars con nected with the distressing case.

Perceiving that there was a secretary to the Company which had thus adopted him as one of their Provisional Committee, Mr. Garde determined to call as soon as possible at the offices at Cornhill, to rectify the error, by a complete denial of all knowledge of the Company. Upon calling at No. 53, Cornhill, he four d that a re markable bustle was stirred up, and a great ostentation of business seemed to move the establishment. He mentioned that he was desirous of speaking to the secretary, but he was informed that Mr. Elli son was not to be seen ; that he was, in fact, in the country. Ile then said he wished to see somebody with whom he might communicate upon a subject connected with the Company, and he was then addressed by one of the clerks, to whom ho stated the nature of his business. He requested that the secretary would take his name out of the prospectus, as he had nothing whatever to do with the Company, and had never sanctioned the use of his name as a member of the Provisional Committee. His request was com plied with by the clerk with whom he communicated in his presence, and he left tho house in the belief that there would be no repetition of the circumstance, and, of course, that nobody would consider him to be in a posi tion to which he had never laid any claim. He was mis taken. On the Bth of November he received the follow ing letter by post:— " The Thames, Southend, and Northern and Eastern Junction Railway Company. "53, Cornhill, Nov. 8, 1845. •` Bir,--Your atteuclance is requested at a meeting to Joseph Upton, who said he was by trade a black smith, but was now in service as waiter at a public house, was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with an assault on the waiter at the " Cider Cellars" public-house. From the waiter's statement, corroborated by that of the landlord, Mr. Rose, and of policeman F 55, it ap- peared that the prisoner went into the Cider Cellars at a late hour on Monday night, and asked for some liquor, but as he was already drunk they refused to serve him. At this he took offence, and proceeded to vindicate his wounded honour by practising the art of self-defence upon the unoffending waiter, It must not be supposed, however, that the prisoner showed any partiality in the distribution of his favours, in which the landlord was not fotgotten, for the latter would no doubt have received even a greater share than the waiters but for the interference of policeman F 55. The prisoner said he remembered nothing of what had occurred, and pleaded the usual excuse of drunkenness. Mr. JARDINE fined him 75., and, in default (for the fine was not paid), sentenced him to 14 days' imprisonment. CLERKEN WELL. Emma Oldfield, about fifteen years of age, was charged with uttering a counterfeit sixpence. The prisoner, when placed in the dock, wept bitterly. Ann Culpig, barmaid at the Half-moon, Islington, de posed that the prisoner asked for change of sixpence on hat day at two o'clock. Witness gave it to her, When she threw down the sixpence, which being a bad one, the prisoner was arrested by police constable Walker, who was in the house at the time. Mr. GREENWOOD.—Did she try to get away ? Wit ness—She did not. I discovered the money was bad directly, and Walker arrested her. The sixpence was handed to the Magistrate. Walker, the constable, said that when arrested, the prisoner said her aunt, who lived at Brompton, had given her the sixpence, on the previous clay, and that she did not know it to be bad. She subsequently said her aunt lived at Bayswater, and gave a false address. The prisoner, who was crying all the time, when asked for her defence, said her aunt had given it her ; her aunt lived at Brompton. She said Bayswater by mistake to the officer. Mr. GREENWOOD—Is Brompton and Bayswater the same place ? Prisoner—Yes, sir. (From the London IVew Price Current of Dec. 9.) SRGAII.—To-day there was little desire shown to purchase West India Muscovado for the scale or pan, although mer chants were inclined to sell, and submitted to a reduction on the rates of Friday of 6d and Is per cwt. The market is better supplied, especially with brown and common yellow qualities; the private sales amounted to only 160 hhds and tierces. At auction 100 hhds of Barbadoes went rather cheaper. REFINED.—To-day a fair quantity of Refined Sugar was taken for home consumption, but lower rates were accepted, brown grocery lumps selling at 63s Gd to 645, and standar lumps 65s 6d. In Bonded Crushed Sugar there was very little business transacted, but prices at present cannot be fur ther reduced. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon none was offered at auction, and the few parcels sold . privately were at easier rates. A vessel has arrived off the coast from the Mauritius, with 5,000 bags of new Sugar. EAST INDIA.-- . This afternoon there was little desire shown to purchase Bengal Sugar • three parcels, amounting to 3,407 bags, were brought to public sale, and a small part only sold, at a decline on former rates of fully Is. FORElGN.—Although there are sellers of white Brazil, at a further decline in prices, still the business transacted pri vately has been limited, and confined to a floating cargo of Bahia for Trieste at 25s 3d, and a small parcel of brown, chiefly for refining here under bond at 19s to 23s per cwt. Yellow Havannah is offered upon lower terms. White is heavy of sale. In other kinds very little business has been transacted. FRUIT.—This afternoon, at public sale, 2,161 pkgs Imperial French Plums were offered, and chiefly sold at following rates, viz., 4115 s to 81 15s, cartoons 41 16s to 91 2s, tjg boxes boxes 4/ is, 1-16 ditto 4/11s, and butts 515 s to 5165. 4,140 drums of Turkey Figs, fine 65s to 70s, good 50s to 60s, midd ling 45s to 495, low and very low 35s to 41s. 334 boxes Eleme Raisins, 38s. COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was purchased with caution by private treaty, and 48s per cwt is the nearest price for good ordinary; none has been offered at auction. Other kinds met with little attention privately; at auction 246 bags Costa Rica were, however, sold at good market rates, and went at 60s for fine fine ordinary palish blue, and at 49s 6d to 52s 6d for fine ordinary quality. TEA.—Although all descriptions of Congou are offered at lower rates, still the town and country trade operate with caution and continue to take only sufficient for the supply of their immediate wants. Pouchong has slightly declined in value, and the trade have operated with caution at 4d to 5d for common, and at 6d to 9d for middling to good. Twankay is little wanted, and easier rates are taken. Ityson has been purchased with caution, although there are sellers upon low terms. SPICES.--This afternoon Cassia Lignea met with little attention, and 100 boxes at auction went is to 2s per cwt cheaper, fine middling thin quill selling at 67s 6d, middling 60s, good ordinary coarse 555, mouldy 55s 6d, stained by cock roaches 54s 6d, loose and broken 555, sea damaged 51s. 111 cases of Bengal Ginger were taken in at 28s for rather small scraped; and four packages Jamaica at 65s for middling quality. SPIRITS.—To-day importers of Leeward Island Rum were inclined to realise, and submitted to the reduced rates of 2s to 2s 0 1 -Ad for proof; but upon these terms a fair business was transacted. Calcutta has declined to 2s, proof with cer tificate, and at which there are not many buyers. llolders of Jamaica show less firmness, and there are few buyers to be met with ; prices rule from 3s 4d to ss, according to quality and strength. COCOA.—The limited business transacted in British Plan tation privately has been at rather lower rates. Foreign is little wanted—and 444 bags Para at auction were all taken in at 34s for good middling quality, being rather under former rates. Hors.—The purchases made have been trifling, although there are sellers upon rather lower terms, and the market is better supplied. At the Worcester market, fine new Hops met with a free sale at stiffer rates, and the supply is small, but yearlings and old hops have been purchased with caution, and rather lower prices are accepted. SALTPETRE. —The market presented a dull appearance for Rough, and the limited business transacted privately was at rather lower rates; low Calcutta selling at 25s to 25s Gd, and middling to fine 26s to 28s. For English Refined 30s 6d to 31s per cwt are the rates asked; but the demand has fallen off. Nitrate of Soda is dull of sale at 14s to 14s 6d per cwt. Oms.—lmporters of Cod Oil are still desirous to realise, and accepted further reduced rates. Seal has further declined in value, and buyers have been tempted to take several par cels. Southern met with more attention, and the small supply at market has compelled buyers to pay stiffer rates. Sperm is offered at lower rates, still few buyers are to be met with. Cocoa Nut is not much wanted, and easier rates are taken. Palm is not much in demand, but fine is held for 31s, and other sorts at '27s to 30s. Rape Seed Oil has been purchased here with caution, and quotations are not so firm. Olive has been only in limited request. Linseed Oil is attracting atten tion, and prices rule firm. TALLow.—A reduction on previous rates of 3d to Gd per cwt having been submitted to for Russian on the spot, caused the trade to come forward with increased freedom, and they have purchased extensively. For January, February, and March prices have fallen to 42s to 42s 6d, but upon these terms several contracts are entered into. Home made has been in excellent request at 42s to 42s 6d nett cash, and the supply does not accumulate. Dividend Amount . , nil* Name of Company. per of Paid. Annum.

From the evidence, which had been taken at some length, it appeared that the prisoner resided with two of her brothers, at 17, Webber-street, Lambeth, and the latter had treated her so indifferently that, on Wednes day last, she took one dose of poison, and on Saturday morning another, The last dose was so powerful, that she must certainly have lost her life, had not the stomach pump been effectually used at the station-house. Mrs. Garrett. the landlady of the house, deposed that though the brothers of the prisoner earned as much as fifteen guineas a week each, they occupied a room in her house, for which they only paid es. a week, and they so neglected the prisoner, that she, the landlady, was obliged to allow her, from a feeling of humanity, to sleep upon a sofa, without charging her anything for it. The prisoner' said her father was the principal civil engineer in her Majesty's Pocky Gird at Portsmouth, and in the receipt of an income of from 6001. to 700/. a-year. About two years ago her father married a second wife, and not wishing, she supposed, to have them at home with their stepmother, he stilt her end her sister to live with a person at Greenwich, where they remained for some time, their father paying forty guineas a-year each for their board and lodging. This he, however, con sidered tco eetpensive, and refused to pay it any longer ; and the consequence was, that they were obliged to leave. Th©y then came to town, and by their needles, and by the occasional assistance of their father, they were enabled to make out a scanty existence. Her sister soon after became an inmate of the Female Asylum, in Pentonville, and she, the prisoner, struggled on as well as she could—her father and brother, who held a lucra tive situation in the Southampton Docks, giving her a trifle now mei then to assist her to pay her rent. Latterly, however, her father discontinued his gifts, and the consequence was, that she was left solely to herself, and endeavoured to maintain herself by stay stitching, but so wretched was the pay for such work, namely, fourpence a pair for stays which took her eight hours to do, that she had made up her mind to do no more at it, and told tl,e person who supplied her with them so, on taking the last parcel. Mr. HENRY—Is it true that you took laudanum on Wednesday last? Prisoner—lt is true, sir. Mr. HENRY—Where did you procure the laudanum on that occasion? Prisoner—l got two pennyworth at a shop in the Blackfriars-road, end one pennyworth at a druggists in the New-cut.

DISEASED POTATOES.—IMPORTANT ExPERNOOI. —We are authorised to state that the simple method of dering diseased potatoes available for human food by bou - k 0 them in two waters, the first being thrown away when it la reached the boiling point, has been tried by Major Bea 133 ,0 with complete success. He purchased, we are informed, week, 100 weights of so called diseased potatoes, at the curt ) , depreciated rate of 2d. per weight, for the purpose of giltll them to cattle, conceiving, with the seller, that they were 6'l; for no other purpose, and had already applied many of 016%0 that use, but after seeing a statement in the public Prin t t,J had a portion taken indiscriminately from the heap, 4.. boiled according to the prescribed directions. The result The in every respect corroborative of the first experiment. Iciej whole of the black acrid matter which in few cases extent beyond the skin, was completely extracted by t l , l .l,:ibe water, and the potatoes, when served up to table, ere second boiling, presented as sound an appearance, and v,toe as dry and palatable as any potatoes of the kind uncier . . o most favourable circumstances.

In the will of Sir Grabriel Wood, which was proved in Doctors' Commons, on Tuesday last, the 2d inst., by Lady Wood, his relict, and Philip Caddell, Esq., of the Royal Crescent, Bath, the executors, no reference whatever is made of a bequest—as quoted in several papers of the pre vious week, from the Glasgow National—of 80,0001. for the erection and maintenance of an hospital in Greenock, for aged, infirm, and disabled seamen of that port.

THE MOORS.—A sportsman of long experience and knowledge of the habits of grouse writes us :—"Never did I encounter such wet and windy weather, and, conse quently I never saw birds so wild as they are at present. It is impossible to get near them unless accidentally. I shot brace on Friday, o and 10i_ brace on the day following, from twelve to th ree 'clock. Neither single birds, pairs, nor focks, can be seen whilst a person remains on the sane hill side with them. They stand on bare spots, with three or four birds stationed a b ou t one h un d re d y ar d s i n a d vance , to give alarm, and as soon as any one comes in ;sight they are off." On many of the Ross and Sather land shootings, where moors are l ess moun t a i nous , grouse se ld om i assemble in great flocks, and freq uen tl y spor t smen can ma k e up a good bag on a stormy N ovem b er d ay. T he fol l ow i ng nearly equals sporting in August or September. About the middle of last month, and in eight successive days, at In verbroorn, Sir St. George Gore, Bart., bagged t o hi s ow , n gun 200 brace of grouse. On one rough and stormy day he killed 31i brace, a hare, and a snipe. Last week Novar enter tained a party of his neighbours, and in two days, notwith standing very unfavourable weather, 300 head of g ame were killed by them on the estate, including roe, black co c k, &c. Novar also sent presents of game to all the electors an d hotmeholders on lus property,—R on -shi rt 4dverhign MzTHrlt „ , Este 10 44 ;pen Tats hut, ' Xing stre, Weetel , handsom e tu 4114 the a tiz extended sc 6, 4 w ith Perfec ThZa frow, paAtten 44 the A Lecture Scloykenredits of c ititt e , Qf b ) , Prof tit 4 ts, in eseso,,, II r. 1 1: 4 P ITt pi W ill, the e 'frazdsan°f•rte, wtt ‘1 4 , 1 ato rte, I( tii t 4 ppt ELGIN,'a urc :140ufleent 414 v 4 0 1.1 04t 1?,4L STIt I YIXG•kE i Alikm A 'atitnt Z tt, . k _ 4 ls47: f re II; I Z kith Itv24) ; t i ,Zttristr rg learg g S illi btil ie etal and 4 1 .1 4 17,L!? c at "Num 1 ip , -rettk u „ . • k 104i\ 1 , 11... 4 . 1 4 el k 4 4 , ic • .f got 114141 1) -- li t rit °P( 4, N th t kottid I hShn e J (414 ionc y k 'itt I ttnt ( 1i0 t .: 41 1J4 -41 1., I 47 Tr4cilliatn 3 % EN., ) (444 ,6 : „. t hq .kittrtio irepsCott n 11 1 leY t4 Lee r, e ' ll 'ek, J o e F ete TrYin itobttt, Esq 14 1 Pr ed r er l e T k ho 4 k 4 EAN x li °UNSEX BIRTHS.
