AUDACIOUS SWINDLING; OR HOW TO TRAVEL POST TO LICHFIELD RACES. SteaTiono-ots - -Avors, SEPT. 17.—Last week, on the day be fore Lichfield races, a person, calling himself a Bow-street offi cer,. came travelling post through this town, in pursuit, as he pretended, of four men who had robbed and murdered a com mercial gentleman near London. Two of the murderers, he said, he iiad apprehended between London and Stratford. Sc; anxious was this vigilant emissary of justice to secure the other two , that he drove to the different lodging-houses here in a post chaise and pair, with the chaise-door open, that he might the more securely pounce upon his prey. His search being unsuc cessful, he took a fresh chaise and pair from hence, and so keen was he in the pursuit that he had not time to pay for it. Near Lapworth he took a man into custody under pretence that he wasnne of the suspected criminals, and then continued his put suitof the fourth through Hockley and Birmingham to Lich field. It being the races, of course he directed the postboy to drive at once to the race-course, as the most probable place in which to find the delinquent he was pnrsuing. Here, on alight ing from the chaise, of coarse he was asked by the postboy for payment. This he indignantly resented, gave the postboy a kick for his impertinence, suddenly disappeared amongst the crowd, and has never been either seen or heard of since. When at Stratford he did not apply to the local police for assistance ; butit was suggested' to Mr. Ashfield, the constable, that he ought to hilt in the purstiit. Ashfield, however, thinking that no Bow-street officer would gallop about from one lodging-house to another in a post-chaise, with the door open, expressed his suspicion that all was not right, and declined to volunteer in such an apparent wildgoose chase. His suspicions have been amply confirmed. The swindler, it appears, at Shipton-on- Stour contrived to obtain cash to a considerable amount on a cheque; and at other towns also he practised the same triat, frequently leaving £5 in the hands of the landlord, if the latter had not cash to the full amount of the cheque, at the Same time promising to settle the balance and pay for the chaise on his return. So adroit and successful was the impostor that it is con fidently said he netted nearly £2(k) by the excursion, besides travelling post from London to Lichfield, in;.st expeditiously, and without cost.—Leamington Courier. THE WEST INDIA COLONIES. TQ THE EDITOR OP THE BRIsTot. JOURNAL. Sir,--=1 take the liberty of sending you an extract from a let ter received by the lait packet froin a correspondent residing in and of the Leeward Islancii,,as it contains a statement of the views taken by an intelligent and experienced planter of the lat 4 measures of government ; and of their probable influence both on the proprietors of estateS, and on the coinfort and well being of the begro race.

" I must confess I anticipate the worstconsequences from this government plan ; we here know not what to do; the greatest sufferers will be the negroei themselveS. As to the apprentice system it will never answer; With the whole of their labour we can scarce make both.ends of the year meet; how then can we do so when we continue the same expen'ce with one4ourth of the labour taken from us? There is such a natural indolence in the negro tribe that they are satisfied to 'submit even to starva tion in preference to exertion. Within the last quarter inquests have been held on the bodies of two nev.roes, who were seized by the Custchns' officers for an alleged Creach of the Consoli dated Slave Act, and condemned to the crown (i. e - . made free) because the owner could not afford to defend his right in such an expensive court. Well, these two negroes died of starvation, — such was the finding of the inquest. I have myself repeatedly tried to hire free negroes, even to 'do the slightest work and have known them die of starvation rather than take myemploy ment; I have even tried to get them to mind cattle in the pas tures for high wages, but without effect. This being the 'case, how. can we expect to obtain them as continuous labourers in th 6 cultivation of sugar, a cultivation that requires two manu factories, that must be carried on with as much despatch as pos sible after the cane is severed from the ground, otherviise.fei me-ntation takes place in.the liquor, which destroys the process, together with the industry of fourteen preceding months to cul tivate and bring the cane to perfection; nay, even the striking of Your head boilers may injure you to the amount of £4O or kW though it shoUld be for only two days. Such are the delightful Crospects before us ; thoie before the negro are much darker.-- hildren, who, for oar own interest, we rear with the greatest care, Will be left to the carelesi and improvdient mother, who even with our assistance and intetested care, can scarcely rear thein ; how will she when that interest Is 'destroyed ? The mother, who from her pregnancy to the time of weaning her child, does scarcely any work; and for ten months, of that pe riod none at all, daring which tune she is provid e d for as if she did work; who will take her as an apprentice, or how will She raise her offspring? Though the old and useless will be pro vided for by this bill, will that provision be like that of the mas ter,, whose interest it is to smooth the ills of declining life iu his aged slave, as an incentive to the young and able to perforip the tasks of youth and manhood, with the conviction that the close of their lives will be made smooth and even by the master for whom his energies wore expended. Add to which the breaking of the tie of clanship which has existed for such a length of time, wliere the slave has looked up to the master as his paternal pro teeter, while he has identified hiuiself as an humble member of his Master's family, and expresses it thus when speaking . of one of them—" A' wee famley. ' I say when all these ties are binken, and the.improvident negro is thrown upon his own re sources, it beComes 'more than doubtful whether his condition will be improved. Many of the intelligent negroes spurn the tgeeri.

When I told them of their being coerced to work by inagistra.tes sent ontfroin Eitgland, composed of half-pay officers, they ekclaimed "Ha ! da going to make soldier's of a' wee; no, massa, we no wantdat; vie no want to be licked like 'soldier buckia." Their only idea of freedom was to be idle ;—now they find they are to be made to work, theyare; would rather remain as they and fo bring about this folly England is to be taxed £20,000 . ,000 'at Once, and beat the expence of 'at least 2,000 stipendiary inagfitrates.— What madness!"

GLASGOW FI FTY YEA Rs AGO.—To those of our fellow-citizens ,who may feel at times inclined to phime themselves inordinately en their superiority to their forefathers, the following quotation from the Glasgow Mercury of 12th September, 1782, may perhaps furnish matter for a little salutary humiliation :—" Yesterday the Circuit Coart of Justiciary was opened here by the Eight Hon. the Lord Hailes. TQre being no criminal business to coma before the court, his lordship permitted the gentlemen of the j ury to return their resp ect i ve homes, which' atthis busy season must be veryreeable t o th em. " In those simple days, parliamentary reform was unknown — self-election was flourfshing in our burghs iri all its luxuriance—we had no police establishment— no tem pfrance societies—no voluntary-church societies—no manifesta tions of the spirit—and yet, in regard to the great, substantial article of happiness , "Our being's end' and aim,"' surely- these iiinsthave been comparatively happy times, in which the Circuit Court at its P - erfodical , visit, then only once in half a year, could find nothing whatever fur it do, lint was obliged to - go•as it came. .--Frans a Correspondent of the Glasgow Herald, THE COAL RACK BLUNDER. We extract from the United Service Gazette the fol lowing amusing account of official sapience : "When Sir James Graham regenerated the Navy Board, he was, according to his own account:, especially careful to select the ablest men that could be found for the offices of Accountant General,' and Storekeeper General.' The following anecdote of the almost maiden exploit of these favoured individuals may be added to the samples we have already supplied of the curious felicity' displayed by . the First Lord of the Admiralty in his se leCtiou of his "ministering spirits." Scarcely had the new officers entered upon their responsible duties, when one or both of them (for it seems they work in couples,) discovered in the course of the examination into the expenditure of stores _in the respective ships of war in commission, a waste of coals in a Sloop of war on the South American station, so monstrous as to threaten a general scarcity of that useful commodity ! They accordingly called upon the captain to explain without delay how he could possibly have suffered so enormous a consumption as that of from 40 to 50 chaldrons per week on board the vessel under his command; and so highly important did it appear that this profligate waste of black diamonds should at once be put a stop to, that a ship was, it is said, sent direct to South America with the dispatch. Captain Dickens; the commander of the offending vessel, was somewhat astonished when the eorruniirii cation reached,him. He could riot, he declired, comprehend the meaning:of so absurd an expostulation, as no such offence as that charged against him could haVe been committed on board of his ship for the best of all possible reasons That he had only-taken out five chaldions of coals fora six months' voyage. 2. That he had burned nothing but wood since he had left-Eng land!. The astute commissioners were, as might be expected, Completely posed by this reply; and it was not until some time afterwards, that one of their Junior clerks, poisesSed of a little more shrewdness than his masters, solved the alarming mystery, by discovering that the terrible consumption of coals which had excited so much astonishment and indignation, bad taken pliee, not, on board a sloop of war on the South Anierican station, but in a steam-packet of the same name lying in the Thames and that the said coals had been used not in cooking the dinnerS of Captain D.'s crew, but in propellin g his vessel's namesake up and down the river. TO prevent the recurrence of a similar contre temps, and in mercy to the intelleCts of his newly-elected representatives, Sir J. Graham directed that thenceforward the names of all ships - of war in the service which resembled those of steam-packets should be changed ; a decree which, in the case of the vessel in question, has been duly carried into effect; for that it may no longer be. confounded with the Lightning steamer, it is now called the Laurel. Zn the same enlightened and intelligent spirit, the New Navy Board kept .a poor master seven months without his pay, after his ship was paid off; upon the' pretence that some insignificant spar or trifling store was missing; although it was at length discovered that the worthy Man had nothing whatever to do with the offence imputed to him. Unable to trace the neglect to its proper quarter, the sa pient persons issued a "circular reprimand' (a circular repri mand ! !) determining, like the Irish schoolmaster who flogged his boys all round for the imputed offence of one, that the cri minal should not escape punishment. After much deliberation, however, the missing spar was found, and the arrears of pay havinsi been granted to the persecuted master, he was allowed to go his way. It is needlest, of course, here to add, that the New Navy Boaid is worthy its distinguished author, and these piping dais of retrenchinent and reform !" VENEZUELA.-ADMIRAL FLEMING. To the Editor of the Glasgow Courier. Ste,—The British commercial public have not forgotten, they never can fOrget, the statement which Mr. Secretary Stan ley made and repeated in the House of Commons, in May last, regarding the great and increased production of sugar in Ve nezuela; since the slaves were decreed to be emancipated, and about the quantities of rum, equal in quality to the best Jamaica, which were exported from the ports in Colombia to the British cOlbnies. This statement he made upon the authority of the ex-ViCe-President of Venezuela, and of Admiral Fleming, who, in his place, confirmed the statement, and asserted the fact. With what truth all this was done, I am, fortunately, enabled to put to the proof, by documents which cannot be disputed or gainsayed. By the last arrivals from the West Indies, a commer cial friend has forwarded unto me the official report of the state of Venezuela, presented to congress in the spring of this year, and which contains the official tables of exports and imports to and from every country in the world, for the last year. From these I select the rum and sugar trade of Colombia, by Which it will be seen,--first, how little these are; and, secondly, that while runt is imported for the country supply, that which is ex ported, trifling as it is, is merely exported as ships' stores : RUM IMPORTED. Arrobas. Value dolls. In national ships 258 587 Ditto bottles, 7 doz In foreign Ships Ditto bottles, 6 - doz ' . 25 Total RCM EXPORTED 911 2354 Value dolls.

In national ships 35,384 2,190 In foreign ditto Total 1,406,471 61,737 The sugar here Mentioned does not exceed 850 hhds., and is, moreover, in general, not what we call Muscovado sugar, but Nugar and molasses mixed in .lumps. Before the. 'revolution, there were 600 sugar estatei in 'Venezuela. The value of sugar and sugar cane then ekpo - ited, amounted to 1,600;000 dollars annually. I have met, within the last fortnight, an English gentleman, who has resided nearly thirty years in ColuMbia, and who has a sugar estate there, from which he ,exports 350 hhds. Muscovado sugar yearly, and who tells Me that there is only another estate, which can properly he called a sugar estate, in the country, and that the labour Upon both is 'ezclusively per formed by slaves ! ! Uponinformation like that which I have thus exposed, do British legislators rashly ground that legislation which is to ruin hundreds of thousands of industrious British subjects, and throw away the most vital and valuable appendages of the Bri tish empire. When Britain had admirals who sought and who fought only for her glory, they sought and communicated to her statesmen information of a different and a more accurate kind; and if Admiral Fleming had, as an admiral, been doing his duty to his country, he would, instead of communi cating and confirming such false information as he has done, have told Mr. Stanley, and the British House of Commons, that such was the increased production of the two Spanish Colonies Of Cuba and Porto Rico, from the continuation of the African Slave Trade, since the close of last war, that our great and rising riVal, the United States, had at this moment above 210,000 tons of shipping employed in the direct trade with these Colonies, and 'a very considerable quantity more in a circuitous trade with them and for them. That would have been information worthy pf a British AdMiral to give, and British Statesmen and British Legislators to receive, because it nearly and dearly concerns the independence and the best interests dills country. The iinports into Venezuela last year were 3,357,995 dollars, of which 837,896 dollars were to Britain and her dependencies. The exports were 2,857,022d011ar5, of which only 319,785 dollars, were from Orcat Britain and her dependencies. To the United States the 'exports were 9'21,567 dollars. Glasgow, 17th September, 1833. 'CAMP MEETINGS. Once or twice a-year, in each district, is held what is called 'a carp meeting. For this purpose a suitable -place is selected in the woods, 'generally near - a brook or -a spring; a 'large eireular ipace is there cleared out 'under the shade . Of the giant trees of the forest; 'split logs serv e fa r sea t s; 'a sort of rostrum or pulpit is erected, capable Of containing a doien . preachers together. The most remarkable ever, is the '` pen, the sanctum iancfdrunt. It is a place of about 12 yards square, enclosed like a sheep-pen, and tilled, to the height of about a feKit, with clean straw. All the religious families of the neighbourhood come Or send beforehand to build themselves a tent outside the cleared place, so that, 'towards the appointed time of meeting, the forest assumes the appearance of a village of rural huts, and greatly resembles the cantonment of a regiment of cavalry, except that it is not so regular. On the day appointed, generally a Sunday; families arrive in crowds, oh horseback, in coaches, and in carts, bringing with them beds, furniture, and kitchen utensils ; each family installs itself in its hut, as if for a stay of some months. All the Methodist preachers, exhorters, elders, circuit s riders, &c., take care to be present, from 1(X) miles round. The bishop, or the local preacher, or the circuit-rider, according to circumstances, com mences the ceremony by, giving out a psalm, which is sung by the people ; afterwards comes a prayer, then a sermon, or two, Or three, according to the inspiration of the preachers who fill the pulpit. The service. Continues in this manner, alniost With out any interruption, for five or six dayS. Ido not mean to say that everybody reniains - to listen Or preach all that time ; on the contrary, everybody does as he pleases. 'The rich provide very good dinners in their cabins, - and invite the preachers anclthe poor. This is .a place chosen by the young people of both sexes to court and arrange marriages. * * * * * * * * Indeed, a camp meeting is an excellent place for all sorts of busineis. it is eppitat of union for all the loungers and young people; for those who have bargains to make or to conclude, and for lhe'etindidates who'mean to " electioneer;" every one minds his business, sleeps, eats, makes love, cheapens a horse, and depreciates or exalts a candidate. ,The holy place is desert ed; silence for the first time reigns around the pulpit; the full moon, though in her mid career, is veiled by a passing cloud, and every thing seema_to invite to repose and to a suspension of the labours of the day; when a preacher, who has remained alone kneeling within the pulpit, rises up slowly; inspiration begins to visit - him ; he begins a hymn, at first with a very feeble voice, but which, crescendo by degrees, soon attains the Melody of Stentor. Some pious souls retake their places upon; the seats, other preachers join him, and curiosity soon reprp- duees an auditory. An .enthusiastic and pathetic prayer fol lows: he engages the saints to pray for the conversion of the poor sinners who are in the midst of them; he represents to them'the greatness of God's mercy, and the pains of bell; he exhorts - them to lay aside false shame, and make a clear breast before their brethren. Five or six persons'rise up, and advanc e slowly towards the sanctum sanctoruin. At the sight of so many converts, the possessed saint becomes doubly heated : he de putes two saints to pray with each of them, The new convert, kneeling upon the straw, sighs, accuses himself, sobs, and cries; whilst on each Fide a saint, kneeling beside,him, yoci ferates in his ear a description, after his manner of the glory of God, and the wickedness of Satan. These 18 or `persons, Men and women, in the pen, make a clatter that may be heard for some miles: everybody baWls, sings, prays, cries, preadhes, together. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The owls, attracted by the odour of the kitchens, answer them from the tops of the trees, and tly away from this noise, Which they cannot emulate. A young girl in the mean time has wan dered in the woods with tier lover longer than she supposed; time passes swiftly in the company of a beloved object, perhaps for the first time, and in the spring of life, dreaming of ages of happiness in a cherished union, tasting perhaps its reality in passionate declarations. Suddenly she is recalled to her senses by this clatter, her spirits still agitated, her soul in a strange state of emotion, her nerves stunned and shaken. She ap proaches; is troubled; fright seizes her; at first she believes herself damned,—then converted: she enters within the sacred enclosure; there she is soon stunned and seized with hysteric convulsions; she cries out, weeps, sobs, rolls herself on the straw in a frightful delirium. The assistants, the preachers, and the saints, redouble their vociferations; the people Cry " Amen!" The clatter and tumult increase: a conversion so sincere, so exemplary, must, not be hidden by the shades Of night; torches of pitch-pine; gathered from the neighbourhood, are soon brought, and cast a vivid light upon this scene of hor-, ror, The mother, the sisters of the young girl, run thither on hearing the noise; but, instead of helping her, admire the mercy of God, who is pleased to call her among his saints. And such is the power of imitation on the nerves, that it rarely happens that conversions of this sort take place without some other persons falling into hysterics also. Frequently twenty persons, of, every age, sex, and colour, roll themselves together , pell-mell upon the strew, with haggard eyes and foaming mouths, in the midst of the saints, who pray, sing, sob, and Cry with joy, to see' so signal a triumph Obtained' over Satan.—Murcie United States, 2d edition. TIIF, LIVIA.tPOOI, STANDARD. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. It will be seen by our police report that Sir John Key made his appearance on Tuesday at Guildhall in the cha tacter of a magistrate—in the character of a dispenser of justice to his fellow-citizens. We cannot but consider this resumption of judieial functions by the late contractor for stationery as an in dignity to the community at large, and an especial insult to the good sense and correct feelings of the citizens. of London. We had hoped to have done with Sir John Key ; but when he so little understands the position in which he stands as to force hiniself upon our notice in . a situation for which he has utterly disqualified himself by his conducf, we should ill discharge the duty we owe to the' community if we permitted so flagrant an outrage upon public decency arid public morals to pass unnoticed. How can this man presume to sentence petty depreda tors to Bridewell or the whipping-post, when he must be conscious of the reflections which such an award, pro ceeding from him, can never fail to excite in the mind of every bystander ? With what decency can he inflict petty penalties for trivial offences, when he is himself subject to heavy penalties for offences which are not trivial ? How can he think himself a fit man to protect the public from imposition, and to punish those who employ false weights and, measures, when he r e c o llect s the deficiency of two sheets in every quite ? How is he to prove a ter rot to evil doers who is hiniself one of the most eminent and conspicuous of their number ? How can it be ex peeted that swindlers and perjurors will stand abashed before him ? How can the character of the bench of jus tice or the honour of the city of London be maintained when the world beholds a man like this discharging the functions of a corporation magistrate ? We do not know whether the Court of Aldermen pos sess the power of expelling an unworthy member of their body ; but, if they dopossess this power, the. time is come when they will be utterly disgraced if they delay or hesi tate any longer to exert it. In a recent instance they claimed and exercised the less necessary power of reject ing one whom they deemed unfitfot civic dignity and au thority ; but they will Certainly prove themselves to have been unreasonably fastidious upon that occasion if they can endure aniong them the presence of such a person as Sir John Key. The hohonr of the magistracy of the city of London is at Stake, for it is certain that the scarlet gown will be viewed only as a badge of disgrade so long as he is permitted to wear it. s _ _ From the effrontery with which Sir John Key pre sents himself to the notice of his fellow-citizens and the country, it would appear that he is entirely unacquainted with the general impression made upon the, public mind by the recent exposure of his conduct. He imagines, probably, that the popularity he laboured so strenuously to acquire during a _period of political, excitement yet survives in sufficient force to blunt the perception Or mis lead the judgment of Some classes of the community upon the subject of his subsequent delinquency. Let him not " lay this flattering unction to his soul." The re form delusion, which he contributed so much to create and keep up, is happily at an end, and, if it were still in existence, any attempt on his part to support himself ih popular estimation by an alliance with it would be like the junction of a dead - with a living body. Deluded as the people were by Sir John Key, and by those who Were his confederates then, and his patrons since, their delusion was never probably so strong that it would have enabled them to resist the evidence which is now before the world, that the Baronet, at least, never was a Re former but upon the calculation of what he could get by it ; and that all the time he was giving feasts and foment ing disturbances in support of Reform he was thinking of nothing but beneficial contracts, a place for his son, and the abstraction of so many sheets out of the quire. If Sir John Key thinks we are mistaken in our view of his actual place in the estimation even of the lowest and Most ignorant classes of the people of London, an op portunity will soon be afforded him of putting the matter to the test. The election of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year takes place next Saturday, on which occasion it is usual for the Aldermen to present themselves to the pro miscuous assembly which it never fails to collect toge ther in Guildhall. Let Sir John Key be there if he have courage enough to encounter his former friends. We will allow him all the countenance and support that Mr. Charles Pearson can afford him. And we dare venture to say nevertherless, that if Sir John Key flatters him self with the idea of perceiving any traces of his reform popularity, he will be very suddenly and unceremoniously awakened from his pleasing dream, and find to his re giet that such popularity as he sought and acquired is not' tationary.—Morning Post. ,Deeper and deeper still do our most imbecile Adminis tration appear to be recklessly plunging into the vortex of what they delight to honour with the imposing de signation of Reform. A plan has just been. determined upon at the Horse Guards, for compelling military officers on half -pay to serve on The following circular, recently issued, explains the matter : "Sro,—l am directed by the General Commanding-in• Chief to request that you will state to me, for Lord Hill' s information, whether you are prepared to serve on full pay; as in the event of your not being so prepared, you will be required to commute, receiving such sum as your services may be considered to enti tle you to, it not being possible for his . Lordship to allow you to remain upon half-pay. It will, in that case, be necessary that _you should transmit a certificate from a military medi cal officer of the actual state of your health. " I have the honour to be, &C. " FITZROY SOMERSET." This explains the matter only so far as to show the most atrocious injustice towards a body of men, most of whom have spent their best days, and many of them 'spilled their best blood, in the 'service of their country, and whom the cold, calculating, inexorable Whigs would now, when, it may be, ill health, or old age, or the like, renders them more emphatically than before, objects of their . country's tenderest care and provision, deprive them of the bard-earned pittance of half-pay For, so far as we. can comprehend the circular, there is to be no option: the veteran soldier is either to go again to the fray,--shouldering his crutch, it 'may chance to be—or else he is to " commute," at the word of command !. Such is, shortly, the injustice of the case. Then as to the necessity—even if the " tyrant's plea" could be re ceived in .excuse for it—the necessity, we mean, of in creasing the number of military officers on full Pay. Where is it ? The Speech from the Throne, but the other day, gave assurance that all was pacific, and likely to continue so: why, then, go on increasing the army— particularly since our immaculate Ministry, amongst other'high :sounding professions, calls itself a non-inter vention Viniitry ? Alas ! for the hollowness of such . professions. We believe the truth to be that, the non of the intervention being long since cast off, we are about to be involved in war, and therefore, according to the mercilessness of Whig policy, 'must the rights of the soldier be invaded—his compacts violated—his declining years rendered dark and iniserable—and, at last, his fa mily made destitute. YeS, war = the royal game of war —is, it is all but certain, to be at length played under Whig. auspices. The young queen Donna Maria-7de verlass that she 'is—has come over the weak side of the Greylings.—She has prevailed upon them to send her a few thousands of British troops through whose blood she May wade . to the throne, and transports are already wait ing at Cork to take them to the scene . cif - slaughter. And this is nan-intervention! And its accomplishment is to be attained by the cruelty, the injustice, we have here alluded to !—Carlisle Patriot. OLD ENGLISH ARCHERY. The test of good•archery with Edward VI. was that a hundred of his youth, in rank, should send, at one dis charge, their hundred shafts clear through an inch board of heart of oak, at the distance of 240 yards. This was the minimum of military archery with youth. It was at the battle of Falkirk, in 1298, that the power of English archery became supreme. Edward I. interspersed his long!bowinen among his Other troops of every description, and the battle was little lesi than an unresisting slaughter of 'the best of the 'Scottish warriors. At the battle of Flodden 'Field, the Scottish monarch, enraged at the slaughter of his troops, directed sixty Of his bravest knights, in Italian armour, to rush on a body of the En glish archers, an?l'at the firSt discharge every, knight was killed by an•arrow through his body. Philip de comines speaking 'of the militriry. power of 'England, France, and Scotland, lays it down that the "mignt of the realm of England 'standeth on her archery;" and it is curious to trace the excessive fastidiousness and care of our ancestors with respect to it. :Edward IV. directed that 'the , long-bow should be made of ewye, wyche, hazel, ash, awnrub, or reason tree, but the ewe, (yew) was the preferable wood. The 'string 'was to 'be 'Made Of hide, gut, horse-hair, *Oman's - hair, hehip, Or 'silk. The bow was directed to be, the precise height. of the archer, and one of six feet long was the .maximum of power. The' most -anxious eare was bestowed on the arrow. Its length was to he exactly half that of the bow. The feathers.were not to be plucked from the goose, but we're to drop !rani the bird at between "the age of t'Wo and three years. Two of the feathers were to be : from the gander . , whilst the third, always placed uppermost in the act of shooting, was to be dropped by the goose. The arrow Was . pointed with flint or steel; and the 'punish ment severe if the directions were in any respect vio lated. It was illegal, and, what was perhaps worse, it' was disgraceful to shoot at a less distance than 220 yards. The longest shot upon record was that of the Lancashire archer, who shot his shaft a mile in three shoots. This*, has been nearly equalled within these ",few years. A, Turkish ambassador in London discharged an arrow 480 yards, and a Turk at Athens sent his shaft 584 yards, which is only three yards short of the third of a mile. It was a test with our archers to send a cloth-yard shaft, at 320 yards distance, through an oaken plank, from one to three inches in thickness, and to lodge the arrow in a board placed many yards in the rear.— United Service Journal: Enteliigenrc.
