The accounts from Gotha, given in another part of tile paper, will be read with painful interest. To the ,nisnly sports which have long distinguished this country, much as horse-racing, fox-hunting, grouse-shooting, and 'others of a similar character, only few persons raise any serious objections ; but of that new importation, de tcribed, too, by a foreign word—the battue— thero is throughout the country almost a uni 'feria' abhorrence. The sportsman, if we may use taie ier:n in reference to such an ignoble amusement, roes no risk, undergoes no fatigue, and the devoted victims have hardly the slightest chance of escape. It regular butchering, and nothing else; and besides, this so-wile I sportsman has not the excuse sof ti o man who is compelled to work at the wade for his daily bread. While animal food forms part of human subsistence, some persons !assist perf cr m the operation of killing, but, in general, it is done in the most expeditious manner, and with Ac !ittle steering to the brute creation as possible. C a e the same be said of the newly invented mode o f p hs,, sant shooting, or of the scenes which took place in jhe park or forest of Keinhardtsbrunn ? We have giseon two accounts of it ; and we add a s rtird in a few words from a Contemporary:—" Within too hours at the utmost, somewhere about fifty noble law here dispatched—shot down within a fence into which they had been previously driven by a whole ,legion of chasseurs and beaters—and from which wretched creatures had not the slightest chance of escape. It was a deer battue, and horrible as ate similar proceedings in preserves at home, where hundreds of pheasants and partridges die in fotrnoon• to . " make an -English holiday," there was osomethieg still worse about this wholesale slaughter. l'rAerves are not fenced in by nets and canvass. Phea sants can fly, and hare.: can run, and both have, at least, some slender chance of escape, but in the deer battue the : animals were doomed to death with almost as perfect certainty as are sheep penned up in the pens of Smith -1441" Even this description does not come up to the trath, for some of the wounded animals made their escape, and did not meet with that mercy which is found in our a battoirs. But we have no swish, and indeed it is not necessary, to make slue additional remark to paint the cruelty of this un manly sport. Let us hope that baitues have now reached their crisis that this painful display will induce the higher classes, for they alone are guilty, to adopt other amusements; and that :Englishmen and English women of illustrious birth will set better examples to the lower classes, to whom they are bound by their station and superior education to become models of refinement and humanity. Against the Earl of LINCOLN'S " Commons and NVinte Lands Inclosure Bill," it may be remembered I.hat we repeatedly protested, during its progress through IParlismewy, as one of the most wanton and uncalled fur uggressions on the few remaining rights of the poor, which had, for some sessions past, been proposed to the Legislature. We commented on the cruelty of depriving them of those opportunities and resorts for healthful relaxation, and the benefit of pure air, which form almost the only un .alloyed enjoyments that a highly artificial condition of society yet reserves to the children of labour and po verty. Our humble efforts in their cense, and similar efforts on the part of some of our Contemporaries,'were not successful. Upon the last occasion of our resuming • the subject, when the Bill had reached the House ef Lords, we pressed in particular the objection that its immediate effect would be to create a dangerous in esease of Ministerial patronage, by authorising the ap pAntruent of two Chief Commissioners for carrying its purposes into effect. Well knowing how extensively !altered the clauses of Bills of this nature become in .either House, in passing through Committee, we did not, perl9.pa, scrutinise with sufficient rigidness the wofitio„ of some of the clauses ; and among at as to the appointments in question. , eieithtf!e ,we appear to have arrived but at too cor / %f l_ _ ) ...feat -a a ~ion as to the actual results which have C,ensued. patronage has been exercised, and in a Wrier6 to , se, perhaps, one of the most remarkable ectioneenng excitement which has been z --0: vkiltilase u East Sussex for many years past—that is fere*, iniho event of Mr. DARBY, Member for that di- TEE N ITN, vision, not altogether retiring from Parliament, or of his failing, after accepting the Chiltern Hundreds, to solicit anew the suffrages of his present, or some other consti- tuency. Mr. DARBY has been appointed one of the two Com missioners under the new Act. The "blank" in the earlier prints of the Bill was filled up in some of the hurried-over discussions that the measure received. or was supposed to receive, in the ware of last session, with the modest sum of " 1,5001." Fifteen hundred pounds a-year well and truly paid to each of two new Commissioners, under a new Bill for newly de vised duties, are a remarkably " taking bait," in political angling, for even a big and fine fish. We shall not enter into the invidious inquiry:, how far the Minister was justified in throwing so precious a fly f o r a fish of no higher pretensions than the Darby trout he has taken. Going to the absolute matter of fact, we shall equally abstain from inquiring whether the ap pointment of the Honourable Member for East Sussex has been owing to the solicitude of the Earl of LINCOLN to neutralise a malcontent agriculturist in the Conservative ranks by this process of what IZAAB WALTON would call "gorging him," or to other views upon the representation of the same part of Sussex, in Parliament, which may be entertained by her MAJESTY'S Government, and to be accomplished through the practised agency of Sir J. GRAHAM. But it seems to be a matter still very doubtful whether Mr. DARBY will be disposed to raise the question of his re electio❑ at all. If he desires to continue in Parliament, it is said he will rely upon the quibble that his appointment is not derived from the Crown, and dots not, therefore, presuppose or compel him to vacate his seat. If he has made up his mind to forego the discharge of Parliamentary duties, it is stated, on the other hand, that he will voluntarily resign his trust to his consti tuents. But we entreat public attention, first, to the words of the clause in the new Act, under which the power to make the appointment he holds is created ; secondly, to the analogy of the reasons that should just as much necessitate the vacation of his seat on taking such office as if he held it directly from the Crown. Now this is no light or unimportant question. In the Health of Towns 13i11, and other measures, to which Lord LINCOLN has been a party, there has been a similar tendency evinced to sacrifice the constitutional and equitable right of municipalities to elect their own officers, as the Wastes and Common Inclosure Bill manifests, to with draw the nomination of the Commissioners under it from the control or the gift cf the county and district authorities. In both the measures we have named there are to be:noted w hat we may call daring extensions of Government patronage. They must have been strangely overlooked, for no Par liament to whom they had been once fairly indicated would ever have sanctioned them. Now, in the first place, the words of the clause in the " Commons and Waste Lands Inclosure" Act make it " lawful for one of her MAJESTY'S Principal Secre taries of State to appoint any two fit persons to be Commissioners under this Act, and at pleasure to remove the Commissioners so appointed, or either of them." We will say thus much for sound lawyers, even of the Conservative party, that had the present Lord LYND HURST, Or the late Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT, been present at the debate in the Commons upon a clause thus worded, they would nave indignantly denounced the extravagant powers conveyed by these unconstitutional teims. Two Commissioners, at a charge of 3,000/. per annum to the public, to be appointed by one Secretary of State and removable—not for incompetency—not for mis' conduct—but "at the pleasure," forsooth, of another salaried servant of the Crown! The n.:tion is monstrous. The judges of the land hold their high and, exalted offices quanuliu bene se gesso int, and this noble tenure, in exchange for that servile and dangerous cne durante bene placito, was the spontaneous appointment of the Crown itself. Why should Commis sioners for other important public duties be appointed under any other conditions ? The only reason we can suggest proceeds on the inference wo aro irresistibly compelled to draw from in ternal evidence, that the terms must have been intro duced at the suggestion of " one of her MAJESTY'S Prin cipal Secretaries of State !"—we mean Sir JAMES GRAHAM. They carry with them all his love of the despotic centralization of authority, and Lord Liscol.N, a young practitioner in the same arbitrary school, we must suppose, had either no inclination, or lacked the firmness to resist their incorporation in the Bill for which he was ostensibly the sponsor. In the second Case, what possible reason of law or constitutional ex pediency which incapacitates the retention of a s,.at in the House of Commons, held prior to the acquisition of office under the Crown, without the Member's being confirmed in it by a fresh election immediately upon his acceptance of such office—what reason of this kiod that applies to such cases does not also touch the case of an appointment by the Minister of the Crown, made only in virtue and by reason of the fact of his so representing the power and authority of the Crown ? If it be an objection to D that he has just had conferred upon him by A an office, the tenure of which raises a reasonable presumption that he may be unduly influenced by A, and which objection can only be cured by D's being restored to the same representa tive position, on a new election, which he held prior to his accession to such office,' is the objection less to C, on taking office at the hands of B, under the express delegation to B of A's authority ? Or can such objection be, in consistency or common sense, obviated in any other manner ? We do trust that if the electors of East Sussex have the opportunity, they will manifest their sense of the danger of the precedent which Sir JANEs GRAILAM and Lord LINCOLN have created—by rejecting the nominee of Government in the chief office, under which one of the most ill judged, ill-timed, and most inexcusab!e of all the mea sures of the Tory Government of 1844 is to be carried into effect. Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have been received. The long-expected interview between the Court of Spain and the French Princes at Pampeluna had ex cited much interest in the capital, and great numbers had already left to witness the festivities; among °altos' Don/FRANasco DE PAULA and his family. Accounts from Mondragon, dated the 24th, state that the QUEEN her mother, and sister, were to leave that place for B:1- boa on the 29th, to be at Pampeluna on the 23 or 3d of September, and to return to her capital be tween the 15th and 20th of the same month. The Heraldo says, " The evening papers state that the tradesmen of Madrid intend again to close their shops to-morrow, the day on which expires the delay fixed for the payment of the taxes on industry and eGminerce, For this purpose signatures are being collected, with promises not to open any shops on that day. They who manage the affair are doing their best to render this ma nifestation as pacific as possible, but we know not how public order will be maintained when a large population shall want the most necessary articles." The Junta of Commerce had an interview with the Finance Minister on the 27th, who had promised certain modifications of the new law, and many of the trades men had sent In their returns preparat iry to the pay ment of the tax. The Three per Cents. were done at 32 for cash, one operation only, 1,000,000 reals ; the Five per Cents. at 22a at GO days, 4,600,000 teals done. The only political articles in the Paris papers that de serve notice, and they deserve notice only for the it ab surdity, appear in the Quotidienne and the Commerce, These journals, though differing totally in political principles, seize upon the affair of Madagascar for the purpose of attacking M. GUIZOT. They consider it a grievous crime for English sailors and French suldit rs making a combined attack on a barbarous people in de fence of their respective countrymen. " One would be inclined to suppose," says the Carlist journal, " that the ancient and incontestible rights which the French pos., seas over this island were of such a nature, that an inter vention in its internal affairs would be one of the most legitimate acts free from English control. Our Minis ters, without doubt, have not thought so, or our Governor at Bourbon, warned by the fate of M. DGPETIT-TROUARS, imagined a new means of t has ttsing the insolence of the natives of Madagascar, without running the risk of giving offence at London, and being disavowed or recalled." The Commerce says, " France possesses over the island of Madagascar exclu sive rights, which go back two centuries, which have been recognised by the whole of Europe, and which are no longer contested even by England. The affair of. Madagascar is a third instance of the application of that policy of co-operation which seems to have become the monomania of M. GulzoT." This is the real cause of offence. The co.operation of the two countries in a just cause offends these hostile journals, because so long as France and England thus co -p ra t e , ne i t h er C ar li s ts nor Republicans can hope for a change of dynasty. The Royal Family of France, accordi ng t o t h e ac counts in the Paris papers, seem to b e h ig hl y d e li g h te d with their residence at the Chateau d'Eu. On Satur day, at two o'clock, the KING and QUEEN, th e Princess ADELAIDE, the Duchess D'AUDIALE, and the Prince and Princess of SALERNO, left the château of Eu, and took a long ride, in the course of which they visited Treport, where the KING left his carriage and mounted on horseback. The royal party did hot return to the château until half-past six. On Sunday, at eleven o'clock, the KING, accompanied by the Prince of SAxE COBURG GOTHA and Baron DE MONTMORENCY, took a walk fur three hours in the environs of the château. At two o'clock, his MAJESTY and her Royal Highness Princess ADELAIDE went to Treport in a carriage, and there met the QUEEN and the Duchess D'ORLEANS, and the Princes, who had preceded them. On their way they were joined by their Royal Highnesses the Prince DE JOIN VILIE and the Prince of SAXE COBURG GoTua. The royal party returned to Eu at five o'clock. The Prince DE JOINVILLE, according to the following account, had just returned to Treport from his visit to the English coast. "On Saturday, ab, ut four in the'afternoon, the Prince DE JOINVILLE, accom panied by M. DUMON, the Minister of Commerce, and M. D'HOUDETOT, the RING'S Aide-de-Camp, arrived off Havre in the Pluton, Government steamer. His Royal Highness had been in this vessel from Tr4port to Brigh ton and other points on the English coast, and had in spected, at Brighton, the damage lately done to the floating breakwater. The Prince, on returning to Tie port, found he could not land from the state of the sea, and therefore seized the opportunity of running along the coast to Havre, in order to gain some desirable in formation, and landed at M. NORMAND'S building-yard. After examining the framework of a beautiful iron yacht being built for the KING, his Royal Highness went to the Hotel Frascati, where he had a long conferencf. , with the chief naval engineer on the projected improve ments of the port. At seven o'clock his Royal High ness set out by land for Treport, where the Pluton re turned on Sunday." The Revue des Deus Mondes thus complains of the unfriendly disposition evinced by the British Post office : " We had expected that the last postal convention con eluded between England and France, although extremely ri gorous for periodical works, would be modified so as to favour the literary interests of the two countries. This, however, was not the case. Far from opening a wider field for truly literary and scientific publications, it would appear as if an in tention existed to raise every day new obstacles in their way. To show the ill. will of the British Post-office towards the French press, we shall only observe, that the agents of that administra tion refuse to attend to the transmission of periodical works of India, America, and the French and English colonies, by the transatlantic packets. It thus happens that the numbers of French reviews which for some time were forwarded by the rapid conveyance of the steamers, are now two or three months, instead of a fortnight, on the way. Is that, we ask, that re ciprocity of good proceedings so much lauded in the postal convention of the 3d of April, 1843 ; and should not France intimate to her neighbours that it she subscribes to sacrifices to protect the interests of all parties on the continent, it is but just that they should on their part watch over ours on the sea ? We beg leave to direct the attention of the Minister for Foreign Affairs to a question which interests in so high a degree the friends of science and letters." The following are additional extracts from the papers : " A letter from Brest, of the 29th ult., states that just as the Seine corvette was about to sail for Oceania` with troops, a telegraphic order stopped its departure. It wa supposed that the news brought to Toulon by the Charte frigate, was the cause of this change ; and Captain Renaud, of the Charte, was, it is said, ordered by means of the telegraph to proceed forthwith to Paris. • _ _ " We learn from Havre that the Angelina whaler, which has arrived there, touched on Dec. 12, at one of the Mulgrave Is lands. The canoes of the natives came off, and friendly dis positions being manifested, Captain Hyenne, thinking he could trust them, landed, with the surgeon, mate, and ten men. The Angelina remained beating about for several days c:ose to the shore, displaying signals and firing guns, but the captain and the men who accompanied him never returned. It was at last thought advisable to proceed to the Sandwich Islands, and state what had happened. M. Dudoit, the French Consul of that group, hastened to transmit to tise French Government, to Admiral Hamelin, and to Captain 13ruat, an account of the circumstance, and added that he did not think them to have been massacred, for the following reason—that about ten years ago' fourteen of the American vessel, the Globe, remained on the island for two years, and were at last got away by a corvette, sent from Valparaiso for the purpose, though not without force being found necessary. "We learn from Smyrna that, on the 27th ult., as the i• nerve frigate was getting under weigh from Ourlac, to follow the Duke de Montpensier to Smyrna, her commander, Captain Granet, while standing on the forecastle :oireeting the ma noeuvres, was struck, by a block which fell from the rigging, on the head, and killed almost instantaneously. His body was taken to Smyrna and buried with all the 'honours due to his rank. Admiral Turpin, with all his officers, the Consul and his assistants, and a great many French residents at Smyrna, attended the funeral. In the evening of the 28th the Alinerve sailed for the Pirteu., accompanied by the Curler sloop of war. The Cerf was to remain ow the station till the arrival of the brig La Fleche."

IN RE GRIFFIN, AN INSOLVENT. This insolvent, describing himself as of Hunter-street, Brunswick-square, purser, R.N., came up on his application for an interim order. The insolvent was opposed on the ground that he had vexa tiously defended two actions. It appeared in examination, that he had accepted sevc•ral bills of exchange, and upon two of them the creditors had commenced proceedings, to which he had pleaded that he had never accepted, thus compelling the parties to go to trial at a very great expense. The Learned COMMISSIONER said the Court was bound to protect creditors under such circumstances, and remanded the insolvent to prison, giving him, however, permission to come up again at the end of three months. James Wood, of Woolwich, grocer, came up for his interim order. He was opposed on behalf of Mr. .Bennett, a wholesale grocer in Tharnes•street. After a lengthened examination, the Learned COMMISSIONER observed, that if the non-fulfilment of engagements by debtors was a good ground of opposition, no person would be entitled to relief under the Act. The insolvent had been struggling against difficulties, but no unfairness had been proved against • him.—The interim order was granted. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Ann Williams was charged before Mr. Jardine with stealing a purse, containing two sovereigns, two half sovereigns, and some silver, to the amount of 14e., from William Melvin. The prosecutor said that he was a draper's assistant, and that he was returning home from his place of business the previous night, at about nine o'clock, when he met the prisoner in Ade laide-street. As he passed her she said something to him which he did not hear distinctly ; she caught hold of his arm, and though he attempted to shake her off, she stuck to him until she saw a policeman coming towards them. As soon as he was released from her, he felt his pockets, and found that he had lost his purse. He said so to the policeman, who stopped the prisoner, and said he must take her into custody, upon which she admitted that she had taken the purse, and gave it up to the policeman. He dim took it from the policeman, and found that 1/. had been taken from it. _ David Wheeler, .policeman F 28, corroborated tho prosecu tor's statement, and said that he found the purse, containing 2/. 145., upon the prisoner, and that, un searching her at the 'cation, 1/. was found upon her. The prisoner admitted that she took the purse, and begged that, as it was the first offence, Mr. Jardine would look over it this time. ... _ The prosecutor said be hoped the magistrate would deal summarily with the case, as it would be a great inconvenience to him to attend the teal. Prisoner—Oh, do Sir, do send me to prison. Don't send me to trial, the gentlemen says so, Sir. 'Mr. JARDINE said he had no summary power in this matter. But all declarations of want of power were useless, the prisoner could not be persuaded that Mr. Jardine could not grant her somewhat ludicrous requost--" Do, Sir, please do give me two months I" The prisoner was committed for trial, and the witnesses having been bound over to prosecute, she was removed, but even after leaving Court, she could still be heard crying, and begging of somebody, " Give her two months." CLERKENWELL. 7 -(THIS DAY.) A young girl applied to the magistrate for a warrant against :mother female for an assault committed upon her at a public house in Clerkenwell, where concerts take place. The warrant having been granted, The MAGIETRATE inquirsd if the house in question was licensed ?--'1 he Usher of the Court replied in the negative. Mr. GREEN wool) expressed his surprise that those houses should be permitted to have these concerts without licence. The Usher said only the lowest of the low went to them. They were what was called " Cock and Hen clubs."l Mr. GREENWOOD said that they were on that account, the more dangerous to morality and order. If public-houses were emitted to hold these concerts without a license, what need of any public-house going to the Expense for paying for one. Inspector Penny said the police were forbidden to interfere in these matters. It was beyond their cognizance, the penalty being 1001. WEYMOUTH.—The engineers connected with the railroad from Bath to this town, of own the h projected avebeent weeklh is ine,and m. act e i o vely employed i n their fin al s u rvey pl , ling the preliminary arrangements previous to the com mencement of the work, which, it is feared, the lateness of the harvest will not per m it b e f ore t h e en d o f October. We hear it is not yet decided whether the road will be cut down or tun nelled through the ridge of the hill to tile west of Bineombe.— Sherbourne Journal. LONDON, pm. 47 pm. 48 pm. 48 CLOSING PRICES. THURSDAY EVENING' REPTEMI3ER MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales- of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 12.000 bales,.. including 5,000 on speculation. With this demand, prices were advancing. Mid American was 1 / id. to 1 4d. per lb. dearer, but the better qui:iities were much the same.—Shares were firm, with a steady business doing. The state of the Corn-market seems to be still indicative of the action of the past not present weather, as the duty on foreign wheat has receded to 17s. per quarter. Some parties are of opinion, that the harvest has so far advanced as to in sure without the aid offoreign importations a full supply of food fur the whole nation, but this we doubt exceedingly, because we believe it to be an admitted fact that, with a good crop, we must import more or less corn from abroad. This and next year's consumption is likely to increase, be cause railways will give extensive employment, and the manufacturing interest being called upon in turn for larger supplies of clothing, will be more liberal in their ex penditure for food. Indeed, the effect must be felt on articles of comparative luxury, besides mere necessaries. The Tallow trade is reported just now as being particularly firm, and there has been large demand for consumption. The borne supply is expected to be deficient at least one third, as compared with last year, while the quantity usad in 1845 will far exceed that of previous years. By letters from St. Petersbugh, we find that a large business had been doing in tallow, from 8,000 to 9,000 casks having changed hands during the week, and 109 to 110 ro., being the latest prices, The shipments, according to the accounts of 23d August, had been—to London 9,056 casks ; to the outports ; 12,484 casks ; and to the United Kingdom ; 2L540 casks ; or, with the shipments to foreign ports, 43,410 casks.

FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, AuG. 31.—We have received to-day from Ger many a piece of news which, in the present state of things, is not without importance. The excessive drought in the south of Russia has injured the crops, so that the prices of corn have risen considerably in the market of Odessa. The Bres!au Gazette quotes the following words as having been addressed by the Emperor of Russia to the students in the college of Warsaw :—" I know you all. You resemble the revolutionists, your fathers. I know in what principles you have been educated; but beware of putting them in practice. for I should send ycu to a place where yeu will remember me." On Thursday next the King and Queen of the Belgians will leave Bonn early in the morning to return to Belgium. The royal carriages will wait at Cologne for their Majesties, who will arrive at the palace of Lacken in the evening. BRUSSELS, Sm. 2.—The King and Queen were to leave Coburg- Gotha yesterday, to return home, and will pass through Cassel, the capital of the electorate. The Queen of England and Prince Albert will leave on Saturday, and proceed direct to Antwerp, where their Alajes ties will go to meet them. The Archduke Frederick of Austria landed yesterday at Antwerp, coming from Holland, and arrived this morning at Brussels. THE HARVEST.—Had our space permitted, we should have exposed in detail, on the authority of personal in spection and inquiry, some of the croakings respecting the " dreadful injury to the crops " which have been so rife of late; but we have only room to say that most of the harvest in the richest part of our locality has been gathered in admirable condition, both as regards quality and quantity, the weather having been truly glorious. The hops are reviving.— Worces tershire Chronic e. LEGISLATIVE BLUNDERING.—On the 4th of last August the Scotch New Poor-law Bill passed, when it was enacted, that on the' Ist of NEXT August the chief adminis trators of the law, or the " Board of Supervision," should meet in Edinburgh to make laws and regulations for the direc tion of the local boards. Hence Scotland will be without a pour law for twelve months, or the local boards must act inde pendently of the " Board of Supervision," which would be rather an anomalous way of proceeding. FALL IN BREAD.—The beneficial effects of the late fine harvest weather are being developed on the Surrey side of the metropolis, in the crowded neighbourhoods of the New-cut, I3lackfriars-road, and the adjacent places, where a reduction in the price of bread has taken place. Excellent bread is down to the 4lbs. In speaking of the recent collision on the Birming ing and Bristol Railway, the Worcestershire Chronicle pays:— " Had the guard of the luggage train been able to communi cate with the driver, this awful occurrence would not have hap pened. This fact should not be lost upon railway Directors, who, if they cannot otherwise attain the desired object, should forthwith co-operate and offer such a munificent premium as would ensure the perfection of a plan for that purpose, which would speedily pay its cost in the saving of property, to say nothing of its vastly more important object, the preservation of life. BONDED WAREHOUSE IN AYR.—We are glad to understand that Provost Miller, op Thursday morning last. re ceived an official con - munication from the Lords of the Trea sury, in answer to the application of the council, through Mr. Paul, intimating that they " have signified to the Commis sioners of Customs their approval of Ayr being constituted a port for the deposit of all foreign goods, that may be legally imported therein, 'whether direct or otherwise ; for tobacco re moved coastwise from ports of importation, either foi home u.e or as stores ; and for East India goods after having been warehoused at an approved port, upon suitable premises being fitted up, and secured in conformity with the established regu lations. "—Ayr Observer, CAUTION TO PURCHASERS OF OLD TUBS.—A per son of the name of Eli Swift, living at Friskney, lately pur chased an old tub at a sale, of which he made a rain water tub. This tub had been used for years for the purpose of dipping sheep; and from it the family now drank the water, which produced sickness and pain, and caused the death of their child in convulsions from having imbibed the poison from the mother, as also from its food being made of this water. The wife was also taken extremely ill, and lost the use of her hands and lower extremities, being now unable to stand or walk. The husband is nearly in the same state, being unable to walk without the help of crutches, and having but little use in his hands. The cause of this dreadful suffering is only just found out, they having imbibed the poison for more than two months. Boston Herald. _ _ -------- SINDE —Tile following paragraph, headed "Im portant News," appeared in a supplement to the Delhi Ga zette of July 9 :—" One o'clock. We have this moment re ceived intelligence from Hyderabad, under date the 30th of June, to the effect that 450 men, with head-quarters of the 18th Bombay Infantry, and two mountain guns, with golundaz, had embarked at eight o'clock on the 29th, accompanied by a commissariat cfficer, with three months' supplies, on three steamers, with orders to proceed to the north of Sukkur, and establish head-quarters near a village named lilumsoor, or some such name, remaining on board the steamers. '1 he cause of the movement is, that a party of Punjabees had made a dour upon some villages of the Sinde frontier, and killed two men. The detachment is to keep the country quiet. Sir Charles Napier declares very properly he will not allow his frontier to be disturbed. The pontoon bridge has also been ordered up to Ferozepore, by special direction of the Governor-General. We have no time for further remarks, but the above may be de pended upon." COPPER MINE IN SOMERSETSHIRE.—An undertak ing has lately been entered upon which promises to be of im portance to the interests of Taunton. It has been long thought that the Broomfield Hills are a copper district, and the person who has chiefly directed attention to this is Andrew Crosse, Esq. A number of men, some of whom are from Cornwall, have been for some weeks at work, sinking, or rather re-open ing a shaft and driving an adit, which was many years ago com menced by Mr. Crosse. Within these few days, the miners have come on a fine copper lode, at the very trifling depth of 40 feet—a circumstance very unusual even in Cornwall, where better appearances are sometimes not seen at a less depth than from 1,000 to 2,000 feet, and there is every indication that the lode will turn out to be a rich one. It is intended to erect a steam engine ; and more miners are to be forthwith brought to the place of action, where they work clay and night. Should it turn out to be what it promises, it must necessarily add largely to the fortune of I%lr. Crosse. The lode is highly impregnated with yellow sulphuret of copper. —Exeter Flying Post. COLLIERS' STRIKE —The turn out of the Stafford shire collies* is at an end, the masters having abandoned the reduction and agreed to give the men the same wages as they had previous to the strike, 4s. 6d. in the thick coal, and 3s. 6d. in the thin coal measures per day. At one: period doubts were entertained whether the men would go in on these terms, many of them being disposed to retaliate upon the masters for seek - ing to reduce their wages , by forcing an advance. This course, however, did not find favour with the more discreet - portion of them, and was not adopted. We also hear that the puddlers are likely to return to their work at the rate of wages they were receiving previous to the notice which was given of a re duction ; great numbers of them and of men employed in the other branches of the iron trade have been for some weeks at play, in part owing to the disagreement as to wages, but chiefly from want of coals to carry on the work.— Ten Towns Messenger. WHAT A BARRISTER MAY DO, AND WHAT HE MAY NOT here seems to be at present a very considerable difference of opinion among the gentlemen of the bar as to what may or may not be done by a barrister. We bad some idea of publishing a small hand-book of etiquette for the exclusive use of the gentlemen of the long robe ; but as what is etiquette to-day may not be etiquette to-mor row, we feared the work would not possess the permanent utility which alone would recompense .us for the labour of writing it. We have, however, drawn up a few general rules ,founded on our own observation as to what a barrister may do, and what he may not do, consis tently with his professional dignity.-1. A barrister may be employed in inducing members of Parliament to vote in favour of railway Bills ; but may not report for a news paper. 2. A barrister may practise the " artful dodge" for the purpose of defeating the ends of justice ; bat he must not enter an assize town in an omnibus. 3. A barrister may tout for a small judgeship ; but he will be very properly de barred if he advertises his readiness to plead the cause of clients. 4. A barrister may libel a rival candidate for an office in a " private and confidential" circular; but he must not degrade himself by asking an attorney to dine with him on the circuit. 5. A barrister may take a fee when he knows he cannot attend to the case ; but he may not return the money, for his doing so would be very unprofessional. 6, and lastly. A barrister may be a very honourable man ; but many things which professional etiquette allows him to do would be thought 1 disgraceful and dishonest among ordinary people.—Punch. - • - SEEING WITH THE EYES OF OTHERS.—AII the French surgeons are renowned for their ingenious and extra ordinary operations. It was recently announced at the French Academy of Sciences, that some experiments had been made in what the French call Kiratoplastie, which consists in re placing a deceased cornea by a portion of the cornea taker. from another individual, and which, in fact, is a kind of animal transplanting. At the sitting of the Academy on the 18th instant there was read a communication from Dr. Plouviez, of Lille, in which he, states that he recently performed the opera tion on a female, twenty-three years of age, and who became blind from smallpox at the age of three years. He removed the cornea, and substituted by suture that of a young dog, which he sacrificed for the purpose. The transplanting pro cess was entirely successful, but it does not appear that much benefit was derived from it. The girl does not see well enough to move about without a guide, and the only difference between her present state and that before the operation is, that she can now just distinguish night from day. NEW BARRACKS.—A number of men are em ployed on Rocky Island quarrying stone Preparatory to build ing barracks for troops on the south and west of the island.

The total number of deaths from measles was 58, exceeding the aver age by 34, and those caused by violence amounted to 36, of which 22 were from fractures and contusions, 6 from drown ing, 2 from suffocation, and 6 from burns and scalds. We find no cases of suicide. The deaths from small-pox were only 10. Two men died at the respective ages of 95 and 96, and two women at 90 and 91 years. TWO PERSONS POISONED DT FuNGI.—A poor man and wife, named Walker, of St. Martin's-lane, Norwich, have during the last week been poisoned by eating fungi, in stead of mushrooms. The man had been after work into the country, and, on his return, brought with him, as he thought, some mushrooms. They stewed and ate them for supper, and on the following morning were very ill. Mr. Firth, the surgeon, being sent for, found that the sickness had been occa sioned by eating fungi. The poor woman died on Friday. The husband was at that time so bad that scarcely a hope of life could be entertained ; but on Sunday he was still living, and some hopes are now entertained of his restoration. An inquest was held on the body of the woman, on Saturday, before Mr. Mendham, deputy-coroner, when the jury found a verdict of " Died from eating fungi." Mr. Firth stated that, since the occurrence, he had walked through Norwich market, and had found on the stalls poisonous fungi selling for mushrooms. He told the sellers of the nature of them, and they readily allowed them.to be destroyed.—lpswich Express. SEED OILS. The Commissioners of Customs having had under consideration an application from certain parties, requesting that seed oil may be allowed to be landed at Butler's Wharf, and also the reports of the principal prac tical officers thereon, wherein they submit that seed oils gene rally may be permitted to be landed at the premises above mentioned, and that the indulgence may be extended to all the first-class sufferance wharfs with the additional privileges on the banks of the river—orders have been issued for the request to be complied with, and the privilege extended to all the wharfs mentioned, as recommended by the officers of the revenue, which regulation is to take place from the pre sent time, and of which the Revenue Departments generally have been apprised, for their information and future govern ment. HER 'MAJEI . I 7 i7'S VISIT TO TH CONTINENT. GOTHA, Atm. 31.—Yesterday there was a chasse en d a grand ,cale for the entertainnient of her Majesty en Prince Albert. The forests of the Duke of Coburg abound with deer, and although the game is usually Inn.ted, as in the Highlands of Scotland, by stalking, there is every autumn a grand battue, at which all the sportsmen of the district assist, the object being to keg down the number of the game, which increases rapid l y in the vast forests of Thurineia, some of the red deer f being of enormous size. The chasse of the Duke ? Coburg is the finest in Germany, and the whole of his establishments are maintained upon the most princely scale, and, in addition to the usual keepers and rangers' a large body of cha.cseurs are retained by his Serene, Highness to superintend his hunting menage. At st ate° periods of the year a large inclosure is prepared.. the centre of the forest of several acres extent. It surrounded by canvas to the height of ten or Wile feet, and one side of the square is left open for the j purpose of driving in the deer—the huntsmen an rangers are sent out early in the morning, and a cordon of some miles in extent is formed, gradually narrowing as the inclosure is apprenched, till the herd, which sotoe' times numbers 200 or 300, is compelled to enter the O h ' closure, and a general &dine, winch thorough Engli,s; sportsmen might designate a slaughter, ensues. spot selected on the present occasion was an open spac e in the forest, four or five miles from Rheinhardtsbruf o and the Queen and the distinguished individuals Wir were invited to assist at the sylvan sport left Gotha 111 four carriages at half-past nine yesterday morning' After passing the palace of Rheinhardtsbrunn the OP begins to ascend, the route lying through the neat little town of Friedrichroda (which was a complete wilderne ss of evergreens, flowers, and triumphal arches) to the Ws of the Thuringian range. After entering a pass in th e hills, which are here conical and rise to a great height' the ruins of the ancient Castle of Schaunburg, t o weril on the summit of a naked crag, are reached —r° forests of pine stretching away in the distance, and hel and there naked rocks starting up their bold massive outlines, clearly defined on the bright blue skij a rapid stream runs through the valley, the -waters which are applied to working the wheels of a number saw-mills erected on its banks ; the sloping sides of Pi hills are covered with the yarn and home-spun lines J l the district, the neat little whitewashed cottages and c clad peasantry giving-the sequestered vale an air of aci a l k and thriving industry. An excellent road has been Or t by the Duke of Coburg through the heart of the for e ' s ; and her Majesty was enabled to reach the scene of actin without leaving her carriage, before one o'clock. Hoe on a level plain of considerable elevation, and surroun o , by an amphitheatre of lofty hills, the , inclosure staked out and hemmed in with canvas. In the cent a rustic pavilion, tastefully ornamented with eve rgree,, and flowers, was prepared for her Majesty's accornmulf don. The Queen and her suite, with the Duke Coburg, having taken their seats, the signal was giv,„ eo by sound of horn to drive in the deer, and the spa: 9 men took up their position about half way between 51 0 pavilion and the remote end of the inclosure. In tb group were Prince Albert, the Duke of Coburg, v . " Prince of Leiningen, Mr. Anson, Colonel Wylde, el s A shout now arose from the immense body of spectet s , assembled on the bill side, and in rushed a herd of O" ble animals, sweeping furiously and panic stricken ael7) the inclosure. Behind them followed a dense hal, rangers, huntsmen, and chasseurs; armed with hunt ing poles, rifles, and swords, 'cutting off all hope of eel from the hapless animals ; and now the work of sla u g e i ter commenced. The sportsmen, who were ar t % with double-barrelled Titles, loaded by attendants bell e j singled out the leaders of the herd as they bowl,' I past, and the sharp ring of the rifle was followed bf t convulsive plunge of the noble animal in his death eg . ° 14 ,,, At times a wounded stag would limp away from hit P io rifled brethren, and, with drooping antlers, lie dol ot , the heather to die. These the huntsmen and) ager s lowed, and mercifully dispatched with their huntillited knives. Again a herd of upwards of a hundred, mad den o and infuriated by the noise and uproar, would fileit upon the rank of keepers, and attempt to force 04 way through the dense mass back to the forest 1 v o i the fall of two or three of the leaders would sed them startled and bewildered back again. One unhl r ; wretch, singling himself out from the throng, a pproac. o % the pavilion, " the big round tears, apparently to ur o 4 each other down his innocent cheeks," as if askid t y asylum, but some hard-hearted sportsmen withL ll .4o pavilion put an end t o hi s su p p li cat i ons b y a rifle-ul'oi 'l' he firing naw became one continued platoon, till o f herd suddenly rushed upon the huntsmen, lik e 111 9 avalanche, and broke their ranks, and escaped int° 00 forest. The sport terminated at four o'clock, and i j e dead game was then collected from all parts of tb e llot closure, and laid in a row in front of the pavilio_ • e! result of the battue was 48 deer, besides abeXe 4 ' which escaped wounded to die in the forest. (P" killed 24 were stags, some of them of very lave te' and extremely fat. The Queen and tier suite A t turned to Gotha shortly after six o'clock. K ithey :o this mode of killing the deer has been fu,l r ,l( time immemorial practised in Germany, we do not it will something ever revolting become to the ea populin England.

The accessories of illus tri oi and high-born ladies, sitting as spectators, accompaniment of a military band, playing " Ls no Blanche," or Jullien's lust Polka, adds nothing t ° interest of the scene, and the affair would•be be, t it managed if the Duke left this wholesale thinning 0' game to the rangers and huntsmen. Her Majesty will attend Divine service in the c- h 9 10 of the palace to-day, and the illustrious guests of ili; Duke will remain during the day in the palace. ,f townspeople are, however, determined to make it of rejoicing after their own fashion, and their will 0 4 concert and ball in the evening, on the same sca le splendour as that of Friday evening. ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE BATTIO" GOTHA, SUNDAY, AUG. 31.—Yesterday was „ V carbone notanda, and, moreover, a day that should marked with a very black coal, since we feel sure tbet A ls are justified in saying that it was the only disagre e ? day her Majesty has passed since the royal Y' l y splashed through the sluggish and muddy waters of lazy Scheldt. • or The royal party left Gotha at half-past ten in sin riages and four, and gallopped rapidly through the "'"A tiful little village of Schnepfenthal to the Dukes P oo palace of Rheinhartdsbrunn, and on through the clett n , quiet little town of Friedrichroda, winding slowly t i le, the steep ascent which leads to the Duke's huntinrlee, of Tanzbuch. This lodge is a small place of I 'oo pretensions; but it is situated in one of the most i o fti spots in the wide world; it lies embosomed among a bi trees in the heart of the forest, and is surrounds o , scenes of surpassing beauty, which , however, lack g t deur and sublimity. o b All is on a small scale, for even the highest hill w , her Majesty has yet seen in Germany, the NiederstrePis, berg, one of the Siebengebirge, is only 1,460 feet h i cgw whereas the mountain which uphea ve d i ts Tastlless do, posite to her bedroom at Bl a i r A t h o l , the B en -rt s i, was nearly four times as hi g h .
