CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, Dec. 15.

The enemy's gunboats have again been shelling
James Island at intervals to-day, but without pro-
ducing any effect.
A Newberu letter says of the affair of Kinston
that the gunboats and flotilla acted in conjunction
with General Fatter. The gunboats, however,
could not proceed far up the river, owing to the
low state of the water. On arriving within two
miles of Kinston the flotilla came upon an eleven
gun battery, which fired very effectively on the
Allison, but she was finally backed out, having
been pierced in many places. The flotilla retreated,
and the next day were fired upon from the banks
by guerillas, who used bells dipped in verdigris.
One of the flotilla sank on return'ng.

WHAT IS UNWEOLESOME GAME?

At the Public Office, Birmingham, on Monday, a
singular ease came on for hearing before Mr. T. Lloyd. Mr.
T. Gleamy, game dealer, MY summoned by Sanitary Inspec-
tor Co per for having exposed for male five hares which
were unfit for human too& Mr. John Smith appeared
for tl e defendant. Inspector Cooper stated that he seised
the beam in question, as they smelt abominably ; the flesh
was dark.ceoured, and they were perf ctly unfit for food.
In caws-examination by Mr. Smith, Cooper laid he did
not think the smell could be covered by any cooking, nor
that the bares could bays bean eaten ; they were nearly
rotten. Glassey brought another hare out of the
same lot, but that was not so bed, although it stank and
was very much discoloured. Ile did nut think the one he
brought would have been eatable in a few days. Dr. Hill,
borough analyst, said be examined the five hares, sod they
were quite unfit for human food. I ney were condemned
by Mr. Lloyd. In his (Dr. Hill's) opinion, they were in

Mr. Hatton, of Broad-street, a professional cook, who I
produced a saucepan boiling hot, tilled with jugged hare,
and requested Dr. Hill to taste whether it was good. Dr.
Hill did so and replied, " It appears to me to be very good,
but rather highly spiced. I should not object to sat it
myself." Mr. Smith—The bare in one out of the lot you
condemned, and the one Cooper said would not keep. sad
It is now fourteen dare since it was examined. Dr. Hill—
The smell may be disguised, rod in that ease I think is just
as unwholesome. dr. Smith—Do yuu memo to tell the
public that if game and venison is hung eo that they smell,

(The soup and jugged bare were tasted by numbers it
murk and all pronounced it good, and some of 'the wit,

then addressed the bench, charecterision the interference of
Cooper as meddling and anueormary io caws of pm", sod

nounoed to contain poison and injunous. Yet we lived and

LOSS OP A LARGE SHIP.

QUEENSTOWN, SATURDAY NICHT.
Shortly after daybreak this morning, as one of
the Messrs. Scott's large pilot boats was cruising off the
harbour, the was sigoalled to come alongside by the bargee
New Brunswick, of Bristol, from Quebec, for the purpose
of taking ashore the captain and crew of the sht•Colloden,
which became a total loss os the 14th instant. follow-
lug are the particulars :—The Culloden, • large ship, of
1,300 tom, haft Quebec oar the lath September, with •
valuable general cargo, and met with moderate weather
=tit the 10th instaot, when • (earful gale arose, sweep-
ins every thiug off the deck', and obliging two helmsmen
to be lashed to the wheel. She remained with just
sufficient canvas to keep her out of the trough of the sae
until the 12th, when • tremendoes me hit her partly on the
broadside, and smashed the rudder into useless fragments.
It Demme now • forlorn hope to think of saving the vessel,
especially as the carpenter came aft with the report that the
ship was making water so fast that she would go down in •
few hours. Fortucately the monde took the precaution to
have the boat so secured that they were not swept away,
and the vessel soca after beginning to pitch by
the heed, the boats, which were with difficulty
kept from being swamped, were lowered. The fol-
lowing this got over the aide : —Captain Ness sod
wife. 33 seamen, and Mr. White, passenger. There being
snob haste oely • small quantity of provisions could be taken
and • Lap sod beautiful Newfoundland dog was forgotten.
He appeared on the bulwarks moos after, but of course he
had to be left to his fate. Hanes hoar afterwards the tell
made of the ship disappeared beseech the waves, and the
bleak prospect of the stormy sky and angry billows was all
that remained to those in the boats. They kept tossing about
till the nth suffering from the piercing winds sod rain, which
kept pouring down all the time they were is the boats.
About noon on the 14th one of the men perosived a faint
speck above the horizon, and soon afterwards the hull of a
barque was visible. A large tablecloth, brought for the
purpose, was waved from en oar, and the signal war shortly
after answered by the barque, which proved to be the New
Brunswick, of Briatol, from New York. Every attention
was shown to Captain Ness and pinyon board. Oe Widths
the men were received into the Sailors' Home, and Caplets

bis possession a large quantity of counterfeit coin. He had
before suffered two years' imprisonment, but that seemed
to have had no effect upon him, for he had upon his release
continued to carry on his old nefarious practices, which riot

great annoyance to the public at large, who suffered
severely from this kind of thing, which was now,

decision of the court was that he be sentenced to 15 years'

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.

This has been a moat favourable week, for
although iu the early part some ram fell deriug the eights,
yet the days have beam flue, with the wind varying from
south-west to north-east, barometer ranging from 29.90 to
30.20, thermometer from 52 to ss. A great extent of field
work has been accomplished, the seed going into the `round
in the primest order possible, and that which had been
planted first is already op witha good appearance , the seed
being of such fine quality, it vegetates early arid most
favourably. The laud has worked remarkably well, the rains
having been most acoeptable, so that every description
of soil has been benefited. The white sorts of wheat
have been extensively sown, particularly " Chidham"
and "rough chaff." Whilst farmers have been thee
engaged with autumnal tillage, thin have bed little time to
thrash, endless inclination to bring wheat out at toss present
very low prices. Thequantity returned this week has fallen off
to 99,819 quarters, and the average price DM down to 40a 4d.
per quarter. Taking qualities into account, some Sr. in-
clined to make purchases to hold over, in the anticipation of
this being a good investment ; and when the poorer clam of
farmers have sold off their stocks, them who OLD hold are
likely to do better by the stack, and they at least avoid the
heavy expense of granary rent, which falls upon the iner•
chant when he makes smiler purchases. The great delive-
ries of grain this season have given the bankers more call for
their capital, and the money has been circulated, to the
great benefit of the country generally, the shopkeepers
everywhere feeling its advantages. This will make a wide
difference to our own prosperity going into the pockets
of the English farmers, in Ilea of being sent out to
buy up foreign corn from all part of the globe.
For the next six months at brat we could do without
any new importations of wheat, that which is in
granary being sulfa:Mut for an admixture during suet a
period, and, from the excellence of our own growth, very
s little i this meson wanted to give strength to the manufac-
tured article. Whilat the deliveries of wheat are falling off
so mach, those of barley are greatly on the increase, end the
fanners are no doubt acting judiciously in thrashing so
freely, the prices at heat being more satisfactory. This
week some excellent "chevalier," grown in Kent, seighiog
157ilbs. per imp. bushel. has commanded 41s. per qr., being
a much higher price than wheat, weight for weight; sad
from this price down to 30a. per qr. one sort or other has
been selling. The quantity returned for the week was
88.362 qrs., at 34e. par qr. The =timbers are now at fell
work, and will take off freely the beet qualities, as they are
making a most splendid ample of malt ; and the brewery at
Sanyo-op:Trent will find the extract greater than on record,
so that they will be encouraged to keep up their purchases
to a liberal extent. Many of the root mope have now been
Nimrod in fine order, and turnips and mangel-wand have
been pitted extensively.—Mark Lam Express.

appeared from the statement of Mr. °mice th, impactor
of the division of polioe, that the offences imputed to the
pr:socer were committed in a very ingenious manger. It
seemed that he had been a seafaring men, and basing
selected a row of houses with balconies, be availed himself
of Lis ability to climb. and ascended the end one, end
having pined the baloocy he walked along, trying
ell the windows until lie found a house with one opeo,
which he entered, and then ransacked the drawers lied
cupboards, and took away every article that was portable.
The only instrument which he appeared to have used was •
small strong screw-driver, which was found upon him on
being captured. In this way he appears to have entered no
leas than five different houses of gentlemen at the west-end
of the town, and stolen plate and other articles to a very '
considerable value, some of which had been pledged, and
some was found to hie possession.
The Common Serjeaot asked some questions respecting
the prisoner, and it appeared that he was very respectably
connected. and had been a steward on board a gentleman's
yacht. He appeared to have come to London in May
bat and the robberies took place in June following.
The Common Serjeant, in passing sentence, said the
prisoner had pleaded guilty to the several indictments for
one of which alone he was liable to penal servitude for
life. It did Dot appear, however, that he had used any
violeace, otherwise he should have paned a much heavier
sentence than he was about to para. He then sentenced
the prisoner to ten years' penal servitude.
ETl:abeflt Afester,2l), pleaded guilty to three indictments
charging her with stealing property from railway stations.
She was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment.

WESTMINSTER.

A very respectable-looking woman, a native of Cork,
about thirty years of age, applied to the magistrate to grant
her a protection order against her husband.
The applicant said that she was living in William-street,
Rochester-row, in this district, and had been recently de-
serted by her husband, whose conduct hod always been very
heartless towards her. She had when he married her pos-
sessed some money, which he soon dissipated. Subsequently
she (the applicant) went out as wet nurse into a family,
where, owing to her proper behaviour sod attention, she
accumulated nearly u much as Sit., which she was recom-
mended to place in the savings bank, but her husband being

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

RUSSIA AND DENMARK.

We find in the Gazette of Augsburg a detailed
analysis of the instructions given by the Russian
government to State Councillor Ewers, charged
to compliment King Christian on the occasion
of his accession to the throne. The representative
of the Emperor Alexander has for his special
mission to induce King Christian to modify the
constitution of the 18th of November, by which,
rightly or wrongly, he is accused of wishing to
incorporate Schleswig in the Danish monarchy.
Moreover, he was instructed to declare to the
Danish Cabinet, that if it did not yield on this
point the powers would throw upon him the
responsibility of the consequences which might
result from the refusal of that mission.

PRUSSIA.

The struggle which has arisen in Prussia between
the government and the Chamber of Deputies in-
creases in intensity. The questions of the budget
and military organisation are in the background ;
it is the constitution which alone appears for the
moment in the dispute. The Deputy de Sybell,
Professor of History at the university of
Bonn, and a member of the moderate
party, has just addressed to the elec-
tors an animated letter. " The existence
of our constitution is menaced," says
M. de Sybell ; "let us close our ranks—let
us be united !" At Cologne a popular assem-
bly has met at the call of the reform committee,
and voted unanimously an address to the
Chamber of Deputies. This address terminates
thus :—" We feel constrained to declare that in
its resolutions the Chamber has acted completely
in harmony with the population of Cologne and for
the true welfare of the country, and that our dearest
hope is that the Chamber will persist in this path
of law and of fidelity to the sworn constitution."
The government is attacking now even the party
upon which it has rested hitherto with remarkable
partiality, the party of German unity. A propo-
sition has been made in the Prussian ministry, by
Count Eulenburg, which would have the effect of
forbidding any Prussian functionary to belong to
the Nationaltereis.

loining the prceecutor's property.
It appeared from the depoettions that the prisoner was
seen loitering about the booking Offices at the Waterloo
terminus no the 2let ultimo. The prosecutor brought
in * desk, and put it down while be went to the refresh-
meet counter. As sore as hia beak was turned the
wee seen to snatch up the desk and hurriedly w lk
out of
the place and run off. One el the of of the company
planed him, and afters smart chase he was secured and
taken into custody. The learned counsel added, that them
robberies were of so .(request occurrence at the aulway
stations, that the company felt hound to prosecute, sad
they were not dispoexith take any steps to seoommaod the
prisoner to mercy.
The prisoner smeared the court that it was hie first offence,
and he hoped they would deal leniently with him.
The Chairman asked if he was known to the polies?
The ooestable replied that he was an assodate of thieves,
but be did not know of any firmer conviction.
The Chairman observed that such robberies put railway
eoeopinies to great expence, sod the public to much imam-
veneers, therefore the opera met award a severe punish-
meat. The sentence wee that he be imprimmed 12 months

mander, was killed.
The Treaty of Commerce between Prussia and

The Chinese expeditionary force, fitting out
under the command of Captain %Greed Osborn, R.N., to
aid the imperial government against the Taepiogs, is pro-
graming rapidly in its equipment. All the officers have
been most carefully chosen, and the high pay and nature of
the service secure to the naval portion of the force an absolute
choice among the best able seamen. It has been decided
that all the best marksmen of the expedition are to be
armed with the Eofielda, fitted with Storm's American
breech-loading chamber.
It is said that Victor Emmanuel will commence
his tour through Italy next month. He intends to visit
Bologna and Florence, io company with the Prince Royal,
and afterwarda stop a mouth at Naples.
