THE GAME LAws.—The Court of Session has this week given decisions in two game cast s, both of winch are very important, and one at least very curious. In one case the tenant has been found entitled to dama ges from the landlord, on the ground that the amount of game was " exceasive.” In the other, the tenant (Mr. James Gulland, Newton of Wemyss, Fifeshire) was found to have gone beyond the law in his novel and in gtplotis se:ieme of frightening the game off his crops without hurting it, by means of blank shots and muzzled dogs. The tenant in the first case has several similar ones before the court ; and, judging from the decision ;At, tidy given, en, is likely to gain them a ll. Th e l an dl ord concerned in the actions brou g ht by b o th t enants is Cap taro Wemyss of Wemyss, L or d-Li eu t enant o f Fif eshire, and late M.P. Captain W em y ss , we understand, has lately relaxed the strictness of hi s game . preserving so far as to give leave to his tenants to sport over their wn farms.— Scotsman. MILITARY EXECUTION IN INDIA.—The progress of insubordination amongst the European soldiers of her Majesty's corps in the Upper Provinces has not been at all checked by the threats of severity that have been held out, and the Commander-in-Chief, after issuing a long order, framed with the object of dispelling the delusion prevalent with respect to the treatment felons receive on transportation, has found it necessary to order the sen tence of death to be carried out in two instances. In one of these a man named Atkins, who had been con victed of striking an assistant-surgeon, was selected as victim, and twelve men were ordered to act as execu tioners. All the troops at Meerut were assembled to witness the scene. The unhappy man to the last ex pected a reprieve. At length, however, the mandate was elven to fire ; and, strange to say, but one bullet struck him, and that in the thigh. The provost-sergeant stepped forward, and blew out his brains with a pistol, and all the twelve men who had fired were cast into confine ment, and will be tried for a conspiracy to evade the performance of their duty. Of the other execution, no particulars has as yet been received. INFLUENZA AND FEVER IN GLASGOW.—Probably at no time have so many of the inhabitants of the city beer. laid up with this disagreeable and plaguy thing called influenza as there have been during these last eight or ten days. Almost every family is complaining of it, but, fortunately, it is light and mild in its features, and a few hours knocks it off. With regard to that other far more formidable disease, fever, we lament to state that we can give no favourable report of it this week. On the contrary, it is becoming more fatal, and creeping onwards to the higher classes. It is in vain for its to urge now the want of additional fever hospital accommodation at the beginning—a year and upwards ago; but if we are spared, we shall let our voice be heard again upon that subject ere long.—Scotch Reformers' Gazette. THE MURDER AND ROBBERY OF MR. BELLCIUAM• MRS.—ADJOURNED CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday Mr. Bedford resumed, at the Grosvenor Arms, Kensing ton-place, Regent-street, the adjourned inquiry respect ing the death of Mr. John Bellchambers, the unfortu nate gentleman who was murdered and robbed in the open street on the 11th of last October. Mr. Inspector Taylor produced the confession M'Coy had made since he had been in custody, and a copy of which has already appeared in this journal. Several witnesses, whose evidence has been fully reported on former occasions, hav ing been examined, the Coroner summed up, and, after an hour's consultation, the jury returned the following ♦erdict:—Wilful murder against Thomas Sale, George ISI‘Coy, Thomas Doyle, John Lloyd, and another man unknown; Thomas Sale being principal in the first de gree, George M Coy and Thomas Doyle being principals i❑ the second degree, and John Lloyd and a man un known being accessories before the fact.

Several eminent surgeons and physicians at tended her, under whose care she derived no benefit, but by the recommendation of Mr. Prior, druggist, Bed ford, she tried llolloway's Pills and Ointment. These fine medicines, in about nine weeks, so completely re st,red her to health and strength, that she is now able to resume the duties of her household with ease and comfort.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Hol loway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

CORDIVAINERS' WARD.—Yesterday afternoon a wardmote was held in the vestry of the church of St. Mary-le-Bow, Cheapside, for the election of an alder man for the ward of Cordwainers', in the room of Mr. Thomas Wood, resigned. The Lord Mayor presided, attended by Mr. Charles Pearson, M.P., City Solicitor in waiting, as assessor for the occasion. There were present Mr. Alderman Sidney, Mr. R. L. Jones, Mr. David \Vire, and' several other well known City faces. Deputy Muddell and the Com mon Councilmen of th e ward w-re also in their places. The Baron Li one l de R Ahschild, M.P., was expectEd to attend, an d, i n d eed, during one part o f the proceedings w as sent f or, but business was un derstood to prevent hi m making his appearance. Ih e precept having b een rea d , and the usual formal i t i es gone through, Mr. WlitistAs nominated Mr. David Salomons as s fit and proper person to fill the office of Alderman of the ward. There was, he said, only one objection ever urged to Mr. Salomons, and that objection was his difference of faith. But in these days differences of faith must merge in general questions of fitness, and if a man's talents and integrity qualified him for a post, they ought to consider it a privilege to elect him without considering the differences of faith. The gentleman he proposed had been tried in various public stations, and found to be an active, benevolent, talented, and liberal-mi n d e d ma n. He had, although a Jew, given an endowment for a scholarship of the value of 501. a year to the City of London School.— (Hear, hear.) He had been sheriff of this city and of another county. He was magistrate of two counties, and had proved himself valuable on the bench in both. The loss they had sustained in the business habits of Mr. Alderman Wood could not be better snpplied than by Mr. Salomons, and he begged accordingly to propose him for election. Mr. LOTT, a solicitor in the ward, seconded the nomination. Before the question was put, Mr. AINGER, an inhabitant, rose to call attention to an article which had appeared in a public journal re lative to the constituency of this ward. The matter was of some consequence, and he believed there had been a mistake. He believed the constituency con sisted of 320, nearly double the number mentioned. An INHABITANT, whose name we could not learn, said Mr. Ainger laboured under a mistake. He hap pened to know that, though there were 320 house holders or more, there were only 125 individually entitled to exercise the franchise. The existing arrangements, as had been justly said, were matters of great abuse. He himself had opened a tavern in the ward, and within a fortnight after he had opened it he was called upon to take up his civic freedom, although within a door or two of him were rich mer chants doing thousands of pounds' worth of business a day, who were never required to do anything of the sort. He felt the present system to be a wrong one, and a persecution upon the small dealer. Mr. CLARK, an inhabitant, said that with regard to the nomination before them, he must oppose Mr. Salomons on religious grounds ; he was a Christian, and he did not think his interests ought to be corn mitted to a Jew. The LORD MAYOR called for the show of hands, which was taken and exhibited-49 for Mr. David Saloinons and three against him. llis Lordship thereupon declared Mr. Salomons to be duly elected. Alderman SALOMONS then came forward to return thanks. After expressing his deep sense of the high honour conferred upon him, he said that on th e one point that had been urged against him he wished to be unreserved and explicit. It was his hope and be lief that his conduct as a m agistrate of this gr ea t c i ty would carry conviction t o the minds of all th a t th e duties of a publi c officer might be discharged faith fully and ably without regard to religious differences. On matters of religion, he, for his part, felt that he was accountable to his God; on matters of duty he was accountable to those who honoured him with their confidence. It was his boast to act on this principle, that there was no religious liberty without civil freedom; and that the converse held good, that there was no civil freedom without - religious liberty. With respect to what had been said about the con stituency, he believed it to be true that there were but 125 qualified voters in the ward ; but of these he had promises from 80, and if there had been 250 qualities) roters, he felt assured that he should have had the support of the 200.—(Hear, hear.) He concluded by returning them his most heartfelt thanks. Mr. CARLISLE, an old and respectable inhabitant, proposed a vote of thanks to their late Alderman, Mr. Thomas Wood, for the great anxiety he had always displayed to promote the interests of the ward. The motion was seconded and carried unani mously, one gentleman expressing great regret that the Court of Alderman had dune Mr. Wood the great wrong of refusing to elect him to the civic chair. Alderman SALOPdONS then proposed, and Mr. De puty MUDDELL seconded, a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor; and a vote of thanks having also been passed amid acclamation to Mr. J. J. Millard, who had very ably performed the office of ward clerk for the day, the wardmote was dissolved by proclamation. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTE RSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.

The particular excesses ij , a o ry n .he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the lumen frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health sad disease. It deservedly requires the closest atten t i on and st u d y , for what subject can b e of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, enwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequ •ntly, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the IntelliAent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse•sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'3IERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

GRANT TO THE NAVY FOR THE RELIEF SERVICE IN IRELAND. The Lords of the Treasury havin7 had under consideration th e serv i ces of her Majesty's' ships and vessels engaged in the relief service during the recent operations on the coasts of Ireland and Scotland, have awarded the sum of 8,600/. to be distributed as gra tuities to certain officers, men, and boys empl o y e d, according to the ex t en t o f their several . duties, as compensation for their extra expenses, and for . the wear and tear of the clothing of the working men and boys. The grant is distributed to no less than forty-seven men-of-war arid other vessels of the navy, carrying pendants, and to three victualling lighters, the Ant, Swale, and Arthur, and the sums vary to the working men from Si. to 1/. The following ships having seen the most severe duty, many of them in the partial famine of the pre vious year, viz : The Alban steam- transport, Master- Commanding Bradshaw; Rhadamanthus steam-transport, Master- Commanding Aylen ; the Dee steam-transport, Mas ter-Commanding Driver ; the Stromboli, steam-sloop, Captain Fisher; the Pluto steam-vessel, Commander Lowe; the Blazer steam-vessel, Commander 'Win grove; the Lucifer steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander Smith; the Comet steam-vessel, Commander Johnson ; the Dasher steam-vessel, Comman French; and the Zephyr steam-packet, Lieuten nt- Commander Ladd, have had awarded to them 50/. to the commanding officers. To the officers' messes of all descriptions, a sum equal to 101. each. To the working petty officers, seamen, stokers, marines, supernumerary marines, &c., Si. each ; and to the boys 21. Mi., or amounts in proportion, according to the time served and employed, except the Stromboli and her crew, from its numbers, will share but 3/. per man. To the Gipsy, Mercury, Emerald, Lively, Cocka trice, Gossamer, and Swallow, Si. per man, and 201. and 25/. to the commanding officers. To the Firefly steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander Buchan; Avon steam-vessel, Commander Smith ; Porcupine steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com- mander Turn Our ; and Acheron, steam-vessel, Lieutecant-Commander Dunlop ; commanding offi cers, 251. each ; officers' messes, an average of Si. each; to the men, 21. 10s. each, and boys, 11.55. To the following fire frigate depots :—Madagascar, Master-Commanding Burney ; Andromache, Master- Co,nmanding Thomas Johnson ; Andromeda, Master- Commanding R. Thompson ; Belvidera, Master- Commanding Wellington ; and 2Eolus, Master. Com manding Tucker, commanding officers, 25/. each ; gunners, boatswains, and carpenters, 71. each ; other officers, 51. ; to the men ss. per month for a period of eight months ; and to the boys, 3s. per month for the same time ; to the marines of the Devon lighter 21. each, and to the Adventure 11.—the former having been stationed at Skull, and the latter at Kenmare. The following ships have had awards for the work ing men, to be equally distributed, share and share alike. Boys half share : 'rhe Myrmidon steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander Roberts, 50/.; Tartarus steam-vessel, Lieu tenant-Commander Cole, 50/. ; Urgent stea m -p ac k e t, Lieutenant-Commander Symes, 30/. ; Fearless steam vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Glyn, 20/. ; Sinbad lighter, 101.; Lightning steam-vessel Master-Com manding Petley, 221. 10s.; Shearwater, Lieutenant- Commander Sir Godfrey Webster, 30/. ; Centaur steam-frigate, Master-Commander Davey, 75/. ; Dauntless steam-frigate, Master-Commander M'Do mild, 50/.; Scourge steam-sloop, Captain Caffin, 100/. ; Geyser steam-sloop, Commander Brown, 1001.; Avenger steam-frigate, Commander Potbury, 100/. ; Bull-dog steam-sloop, Commander Davies, 50/. ; Terrible, and Dragon, steam-frigates, Captains Ram say and Hall, 100/. ; Odin steam-frigate, Captain %V. J. Williams, 751. ; Birkenhead steam-vessel, Commander Ingram, 30/. ; Portland, 50, frigate, Commander Schomberg, 751. ; Tyne frigate, 50/. The victualling boys Ant, Swale, and Arthur, employed on the coast of Ireland share in the grant— The masters, 10/. each; mates, 71. ; men, 5/. ; and boys, 21. 10s. And the Portsmouth hoymen at the Royal Clarence-yard have not been forgotten, but have also been duly compensated. The master millers, bakers, leading men, &c., of the Deptford, Clarence, and Royal William victual ling yards have had awarded to them for their extra duties during the relief operations sums of 20/., 15/., and 10/. each; and the two bakers' boys that were injured by the machinery have had liberal gratuities granted to them. The clerks in charge of her Majesty's ships, as compensation for their trouble and responsibility in the care and custody of the relief supplies, and for the extra expenses incurred, have been awarded sums varying from 25/. to 101. each, in addition to their shares of the grant for their respective ships' com panies. The Treasury have made their awards from the extent of the services performed. Of the fifty Go vernment vessels enumerated, the meal and bread stuffs carried and distributed by each varied from 3,200 tons to 50, and from 80 trips of distribution to one. The work, risk, and labour, fell upon the small and not largely-powered steam-vessels, with crews from 30 to 70, and consequently the larger gratuities have been granted to them, while her Alajesty's more powerful and gigantic steam• frigates, such as the Terrible, Dragon, Odin, &c., with competent crews, made but a trip or two direct from England to Ire land ; but the task of relief fell upon the Blazer, Comet, Lucifer, Dasher, Zephyr, and the small sailing craft, to put to sea in all weathers for the distressed and suf fering parts of Cork, Kerry, Galway, &c. And it is truly remarkable that during the 18 months' famine, and the presence of 40 men-of-war on the coasts, not an accident or mishap occurred, while to the foreign and coasting trade the shipwrecks were many and disastrous. This speaks volumes for the efficiency of her Majesty's naval service, as the estimation in which the coast of Ireland was held during the war must be in the recollection of some of our gallant officers, now admirals. Liberally have the Lords of the Admiralty marked their sense of the service performed by the promotion of two commanders, four lieutenants, two clerks, and we hope it is in contemplation to promote some medical officers and second masters, and not fiirgetting, at the same time, the " working petty officers." To Captain Layton, late in command on the coast of Scotland, the sum of 10s. per day (the allowance to a commodore of the second class) has been granted. PUBLIC PETITIONS.—The second report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on petitions has jest been published. It appears that up to the 30th ult., twenty-two against the removal of Jewish dis abilities, with 932 signatures ; while four, with sixty - tit ee signatures, were presented in favour of such remo val. Against coercive measures (Ireland), five were presented with 229 signatures, and 13 with 10,836 sig natures, with a similar prayer, but also requesting that measures of amelioration should be enacted for Ireland. Of these petitions, one was presented by Mr. F. O'Con nor, from Wigan, with 4,924 signatures; one from Bradford (Yorkshire), with 3,032 signatures, presented by Col. Thompson; and also one from Heaton, York shire, with 1,005 signatures. One of these petitions, from the " United Ladies Boot and Shoe Makers of London," with 97 signatures, also prayed for a repeal of the legislative union between Great Britain and Ireland. Some petitions were presented for inquiry into the case of the Raja' of Sattara, with 4,156 signatures. One petition from Bristol for the abolition of the punishment of death had 3,200 signatures. PROtOSED CHANGE IN SUTHERLAND.—We lately announced the intention of his Grace the Duke of Sutherland to break up the large farms on his estate as soon as the present leases shall expire. We have since learned that the propriety of such a change was fully acknowledged by the late Duchess Countess of Suther land, and would have been acted upon when the existing leases were renewed, but for the consideration that her Grace was in reality unable to meet the great cost of the proposed measure. The leases so renewed were the first that were given subsequent to the original or first letting after the introduction of sheep farming on an ex tensive scale. The farms were then laid out, not on the best system, but on the best that could be adopted under existing circumstances. The present size of some of the farms was the result of necessity, not of choice. On occasion of the next letting, however, all such anemo nes can be removed, and the patriotic wishes of Ban Mhorar Chat—the illustrious lady of Sutherland—and the intentions of the present benevolent representative of the noble family be fully carried into effect.—lnverness Courier. DISTURBANCE AT AN AUCTION AT WISBEACII.— An auction of the stock of a company of travelling drapers, on Monday evening, was interrupted by a num ber of young men, drapers and others, who, considering these auctions, which are now very frequent, an infringe ment upon the fair trade of the established houses in the town, assembled with the avowed intention of putting a stop to it, which they succeeded in doing. A tumult and pell-mell fight ensued, the worse con se q uence bein g a broken leg ; this occurred to a mast-r draper, living on the North Brink, Mr. Durrant.—lpswich Express. RAPID PASSAGE.—On Friday last the Courier, the last new vessel of the South-Western Steam Navi gation Company, made the quickest passage on record from the Channel Islands to Southampton. The vessel started from Jersey at ten minutes past eight o'clock A.M., proceeded to Guernsey, where the detention occupied half an hour, and then pursued her voyage, and reached Southampton at half-past five o'clock P.M. The pas sengers were conveyed to London by the train which leaves Southampton at six o'clock. [PRIG , , AUTOBIOGRAPHY of a POACHER. The following narrative is given in the chaplain's report of the Preston House of Correction for the present year. . It was written at the dictation of the poaoher himself : " When I first began poaching I lived with my father, and we had a dog that was much given to catching game; and sometimes when I was out he killed me a hare. One time a man saw him kill one ; this man kept a beer-shop. He said he would pay me well if I would let him have it. I was to go to his house at night ; he gave me a glass of rum and Is. 6(1., and he wanted me to bring him another hare. I stopped drinking till I had spent the money. He told me that I should get some snares, and he brought me some to look at and showed me how to set them. I caught a hare that night, and took it to him ; rand I had it all in drink but 6d., and that I bought t some wire with to make snares ; and then I got going to this house constantly, anti taking hares there, and drinking ale and spirits of all kinds ; and I think that beer-shop was the ruin of me; for there I met with some young men that were follow ing the same game, and we got to shooting pheasants. That night we shot 25 pheasants, and we sold them to a gentleman, and he was a —, and we got 6s. a , souple* e th (before the sale of game was le ,galiedf:- 'as caught taking up snares, and got 14 ,- sent for e months to the Preston House of Correc tion. e gentleman that sent me to prison wanted my father to turn me out of the house when I carne home again ; and because he would not, the gentleman went to the landlord, and the landlord doubled the rent that year, and gave him notice to leave ; he, however, got it for another year, but 'he died before the year was up. Our goods werc sold off, and we were obliged to leave home and get work where we could. I got a job at a farm, and sent his keeper to the far mer, and told him that he was to turn me away; so he paid me my money, and told me he must not em ! ploy me. I had not been poaching then for more than twelve months, for I thought about giving it up, till this gentleman sent word to all the farmers not to employ me; and then I was so angry that I thought I would have some of his game if he would not let me get my living by working. I bought a dog and a gun, and got a lot of snares and nets, and I followed poaching all that winter. All the gen tlemen were against me, and would not let their tenants employ me, and I did not care what became of me. I got to drinking, and got along with more poachers in other parts of the country. Once we went to --, in Yorkshire, and we stopped two days and two nights, and had nothing to eat; we slept in a barn in th e day time, end at night we went out poaching. We got as much game as we could carry away, and we brought it into Lancashire, to a man that we had sold game to before. He paid us for it, and then we went to a public-house, and stayed there till we had spent all the money. The other man fetched his clothes from home and pawned them, and we spent that; then we pawned one of our guns, and then we asked for trust ; but he pushed us out of the house, and said, ' You drunken black guards, get off home—what do you want here with out money ?' I went part of the way home, and lay down on the road and slept till morning, and was almost starved to death. The next night I bor rowed 10s., and the other man fetched his cloak out of the house ; and we got our gun again. We went out that night and got eight pheasants. We got 20s. for them from the same man ; and then we went to the same public-house, and we were wel come when he saw we had money ; and when it was all gone, he said we might go to bed for a few hours; and we got up at three o'clock in the morning, and we shot fourteen pheasants by six o'clock, and we sold them for 1/. 155., and we went to the public house again, and stopped there till we spent it ; and my wife came after me, and the landlord put me into a back place, and told her I was not there. We drank all that week till all my money was gone; and, as I was sitting by the fire, the landlord said, ' What dost thou do here without any money ? Be off home to thy wife ! thou bast had no ale since dinner time.' Then I thought, this is the way that poachers' money goes. So I thought I would leave it off, and try to get some work. So I went to a farmer that had some draining to let, and he said he must not let me have it, unless I got a note in writing from the steward, for he had orders not to employ me. I went to the steward, :mil he told me to go to the squire ; and he sail I should have no work on his ground, and he bade me ha gone. I was very badly off, and I began poaching again, and in about a month I was caught, and I went. away, and was away from my wife and faindy three years. Then I came home, and got work at sonic water works, and was home nearly two years, and did not go poaching at all ; but the squire accused me all the time, and 1 was as innocent as a child ; and he would not allow any of his farmers to give roe work, and I a g l l i o v ‘ e v n e d it t u h l e i farmers to give me work. I carried on poach- I b n e a g n a 3 t: p a oa t c i l l l n i n e, g ld poach ing all that season. 'When the game was out i a l ga th in e . gentlemenl l 7l(7 of season the man would not buy any more dead game, but said he hod a large order come in for live hares, and he would take as many as we could get alive. And this -- deployed the man at the game shop to get men to go into otht r people's preserves. We were in a preserve one Inorn ing catching live pheasants, and one man said, `There is a deal more pheasants this morning than ever there was ;' and I looked back, and said, ' There is a deal more keepers.' Three of us got away, and one gut taken, and sent to Wakefield House of Correction for six months. That season we caught about 200 live hares, besides live pheasants and partridges, and lots of pheasants' eggs; and there was another we caught a deal of live game for, and we took them to him ourselves, and he paid us for them, and made us as drunk as pigs ; and at the time we were getting some hares for some gentleman near —, that kept a lot of grey hounds. They came to my house for the hares once a week, and we kept them in a room till they came for them. We caught them about 60 ; and I think that p n o w a n c ey hing di , d fo m r e t m he o y re g alw o a o y d s th p a a n id any that I me athom e e v . er I got for have caught hundreds of live hares and pheasants, and sold them to —; and now they have turned their backs upon me, and cast me into prison. But for the time to come I mean to give it up, and not go poaching any more, for I think the three months will do me a deal of good." REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. The step taken by the Bank directors on Thurs day in reducing the minimum rate of interest from 7 to 6 per cent. has not as yet tended to render dis count of the usual run of mercantile bills much more easy, and affairs still wear rather a gloomy appear ance. The rates which continue to be demanded for money are far too high to admit of parties availing themselves of the accommodation for general business purposes, and this is more particularly the case as regards the corn trade. There has consequently been no improvement in the demand for Wheat ; indeed buyers have, if anything, displayed increased caution in their operations, and the amount of business done since our last has been unimportant. Owing, however, to the very scanty manner in which far mers have brought forward supplies, and to the pre vailing belief that no further arrivals of consequence can take place from abroad, more firmness has been ma nifested by holders than might, under existing cir cumstances, have been expected. The growers have shown a decided unwillingness to part with their produce at present prices, which is probably in a great measure owing to the fact that they hold little or no Wheat of previous years' growth, and that they do not wish to hurry their new wheat to market before its condition shall have been improved by an interval of frost; at all events, the deliveries have not increased, and so little has been brought forward at several of the principal markets in the agricultural districts, held during the week, that needy buyers have bad to pay an advance of ls. to 2s. per qr. Whilst this has been the case in those districts depend ing entirely on the farmers for supplies, the tendency of prices has been rather downwards at the ports , where there are stocks of foreign. At Liverpoo l, on r ties da 3r, the trade was de cidedl y dull ; and tolerably good supplies of new Irish wheat and flour having come to hand, the former article was quoted 3d. to 4d. per 701b5., and the latter 2s. per sack, lower than on that day se'nnight. Fine wheat, whether of home or foreign growth, was not cheaper ; and for the best American flour 30s. per barrel ha-1 con tinued to be asked. Later in the week the unwil lingness to buy rather increased, and on Friday even the best sorts of wheat were 2d. per 701bs. lower • whilst oats, oatmeal, Indian cor n , an d Indian • con g meal, were all cheaper than on th e preceding market et day. At the leading town s i n Yorkshire the supplies of wheat have scarcely k ept pace with the demand, AtHull, restricted as has been th e l atter. on Tues day, the finest qualities were quoted ls. to 2s. per qr. higher than on th a t d ay week and though no ad vance could be established at Leeds, previous prices were very firmly maintained. The reports from Wakefield of Friday describe the trade as quiet, with the turn in favour of the buyer. By our advises from Scotland we learn that fully as much grain had appeared at the leading markets as had been required, and that the value of most articles had receded. At .rgh, on Wednesday, wheat, . , and oat* were Is. to Is. 6d. per quarter lower Aan on that day week; and at Glasgow the downward movement quite as decided. The accounts from Ireland of precisely the same character as those before 'ved. The mass of the people appear to be suf from poverty and want, owing to the scarcity )value of pot a t oes; meanw hil e tolerably fair f corn were com i ng forward, and shipments ons were being made to England.—Mark te Express. and big' supplies FASHIONS FOR DECEMBER. (From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.) The colours most in favour this winter in woollen materials for dresses are monstre vert, dark gray, garnet and muraille ; stripes and checks continue fashionable ; the richer materials of dress are gene rally in running satin patterns, on reps ground, w heftier of different shades of the same colour or contrasting ones, The new materials are so rich il l pattern as not to admit of trimming with the same. Woollen materials are principally used for redingotes, made quite high, ornamented with brandenbourgs ; in galons, silk nceuds of satin and velvet ribbon, and large nceuds in gimp ; embroidery in satin stitch, mixed with thick curd, which has quite replaced braid ; narrow velvet is also very fashionable for trimmings. Carriage dresses are generally quite high and tight, with long sleeves closing at the wrist; those open at the bottom are still fashionable, but principally for dinner dresses. For evening wear, rich satins with velvet patterns will be the great novelty of the season. Bouillons of tulle and pretty trimmings of coloured blond have a good effect. On taffetas ball dresses, pink and citron velours 6pingl6 are frequently seen, with blond flounces of the same colour. Berthes of lace, velvet, and old point, are still worn, but rather less deep. Taffetas dresses of pink, blue, and white are often nearly covered by pinked ruches. Narrow velvet ribbons, both plain and i..pingl6, are very much used. Bonnets and caps are covered with them ; the narrower the more ap proved. Fancy buttons are also much us e d. Bi s h ops ' purple and vanille colour are favourites for redin gotes; they are often trimmed with stamped velvets. Fur is now a favourite ornament. Satin skirts for morning wear have several rows ; the corsages being high, with small fixed peleriue of fur, diminishing to a point at the waist; sometimes two bands of fur are placed en tablier ; fur cuffs are much deeper than they were last year. The newest style of pardessus is the manteau Atmenien, partaking of the paletOt and wan t elet ; it is open at the sides the whole length, and falls straight behind, without marking the waist, trimmed with a broad band of gimp or lace laid on. The same style, of ,reduced size, is also made in cloth and merino, trimmed with gimp or stamped velvet. One of the novelties of the season is a plaid velvet cloak, with deep fringe. Many pardessus form large rounded shawl behind, and mantelet in front : it is not unusual for the pardessus to match in colour with the dress, as one of dark blue velvet with dress of dark blue Bros de Naples. The form of bonnets, though rather similar to those worn last year, is, however, rounder and more open, and there is a roundness in the crowns. Carriage bonnets are of royal or plain velvet, with feathers, and many with ornaments of satin ribbon; the inside finished with four rows of pipings of two colours alternating. Satin capotes are ornamented by demi-guirlandes of the same colour, intermixed with black lace; some black velvet bonnets are lined with pink or mail, a very favourite colour. RELIEF AND IMPROVEMENT (IRELAND.) The following statement, showing the sums which have been voted by Parliament since the Ist of August, 1846, for extraordinary expenditure in Ire land, for the purposes of relief and improvement, and the amount of the sums which have been ex pended and remain to be expended, was issued,i3 conformity with an order of the House of Commons It appears, that under the Labour Relief Act (the 9th and 10th Victoria, c. 107), the amount voted was 4,814,0001., the whole of which was expended. The amount voted under the food, relief, and fever hospitals, was a sum not exceeding 2,200,0001. Of this 1,676,0001. was expended. Under the Land Improvemt nt Act the amount voted was 1,500,0001, while only 31,0521. has yet been granted, so that there remains to be expended 1,468,9481. The return explains that, although only 31,0521. has been actually advanced to parties up to November 27th, 1847, yet applications have been re ceived to the amount of 1,763,0001., and loans base been sanctioned to the amount of 609,0001. Under the Railroads (Ireland) Act, 10 and 11 Viet., c. 73, 620,0001. was voted, and of this 339,0001. has been expended. The whole of the remainder, 281,0001. has been appropriated, and will be expended by the sth of July, 1848. Under the Fishery Piers 13111 40,000/. was voted ; none of this has et been ex pended, although it has been partly appropriated, and will be expended when the grant of 50,000/. of the preceding session has been exhausted. The Board of Works are now building, or are pre paring to build, seventy-two fishery piers. T he loss under the head of commissariat operations, 250,000/, was voted, the wleile of which has been expended. ri I s e p t e o a f r e t d he t ( l t a s b t e a t c he c()u z i t i io t i: l u o u t t , t t6hietht ultimate onte loss cannot be ascertnit cd until the whole of the stores of corn have been disposed of; and the account finally closed. Under the head of donations to relief com mittee, by order of the Lord-Lieutenant, 190,0001. was voted, the whole of which was expended. In addition to this, 23,5001. has been advanced to cer tain boards of guardians to enable them to keep the workhouses open. The sum of 370,000/. was voted to be appropriated for loans for district drainage and other works. Of this 215,000/. has been expended, and there consequently remains 155,0001. to be applied, the N‘hole, however, of which will be expended be fore the 31st of March ; 38,500/. was voted for the works of navigation connected with drainage, the whole of which still remains to be expended. The works. connected with this vote will proceed with the district drainages with which they are connected, but the issues on this vote will not commence until the vote of 35,000/. of the preceding year is exhausted, and of which 5,000/. has been issued. The sum voted for the expense of the extraordinary staff of the Board of Works and of the Relief Commission was 310,0001., and the amount expended 277,000/. Thy re remains to be expended 33,0001., which will not be sufficient to defray the expenses up to the 31st of March, 1848. It therefore rppears that the amount voted under these several heads was 10,342,500/., of which 7,815,552/. has been expended, and there remains to he expended 2,016,4484 REWARDING EVIL WITH GOOD.—The late Rev. Roderick Mackenzie, of Knockbain, may be said to have exceeded in charitable and benevolent acts any other minister of his day. He regularly kept a meal store for the poor, not only of his own parish, but also for the poor of the neighbouring parishes. When first settled in the parish of Knockbain, he met with considerable oppo sition, especially from a posse of fair ones, headed by a female of masculine power, Hho carried a burden of stones, which were to be used by her brigade as ammu nition. But on the day o of s s e e l t u tl e e n m tl; it il t r l . n Mackenziefair Amajona as leelined giving battle; n inducted eithout opposition, and ultimately became a general favourite in th e p ar i s h . Some yearafterwards ' she who rendered h e r se lt so prom i nent in her oppos i t i on to the induction was reduced to great poverty, and was forced to go to his manse to seek alms, where she was cheerfully received by Mr. Mackenzie, who took her to the storeroom, telling her to keep her bag until he would put a portion of meal into it. After he had put in three or tour shovels full, the poor woman said, " Hoot, hoot, Mr. Rory, you are putting too much in the hag, for indeed it is more than lam able to carry." e 0 woman," replied Mr. Rory. " I am sure it is not so weighty as the burden of stones you before now car ried, in order that I might . be stoned eith them, but for that I have long ago forgiven you, and while I hare a peck of meal in my gurnal, you are welcome to a share of it; therefore never want while I have to give." W e suspect such genuine charity as that of the late Mr. Roderick Mackenzie, of Knockbain, is seldom to be met with in the present day.—Ross-shire Advertiser. The petition to Parliament, complaining of the unconstitutional interference of the Marquis of Exeter in the Stamford elections, has this week received a large accession of signatures, including those of a few highly respectable Conservatives.

BUNN AND LlNO.—This teflon is expected to be shortly tried; yesterday the special jury, nominated a few days back, was, in legal phraseology, reduced" to enty-four, by the solicitors on both sides. It appears that the cause stands the second in the paper for Mon , day week, and its position for hearing on that day will depend on the causes previously heard, seven being the number allotted for each day. It is understood that the demurrer in the action will be tried before the 20th. instant. We have good authority for stating that it is not the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce spy new measure respecting the corn-laws. The Mi nistry have decided to allow the Acts of Parliament as they now stand to take their course; therefore, on and after March next, we shall be under the sliding-scale of from 4s. to 10s. There must be many to whom a know ledge of this fact will prove important, and, as we have the information from a quarter in which we can pl ace the most implicit reliance, parties interested in the matter may take their measures in full assurance of its accuracy.— Liverpool Albion. 11 0 'l3er ?
