THE GAME Stesos.—Partridge shooting corn-
mammon Monday next, Sept. 1, and thereto every prospect
of good sport for the gunner. In consequence of dhe dry
weather the season has been very favourable for hatching
and rearing both pbeamots and partridges. The latter are
onmerous and stroog, and the former are also plentiful and

however, has made the birds unusually wild, and sportsmen
will have to walk a good dad in order to make up a ** bag."
Hares sad rabbits are plentiful, the season being also favour-
able for their increase. The harvest is finished every-
where, so that there will be so interruption to the sport.

INCREASE Or LICENSES IN LlVERPOOL—Yester-
day the annual itemising sessions fur the borough of Liver-
pool were opened before a full bench of magistrates, and
before the applications were heard several of the magis-
trates gave expression to their views upon the aubject of
granting new licenses. It was stated by the clerk
to the justices, is answer to a question put by Mr. Robert-1
son Gladstone, that of the 64 new licenses granted in 1861
none of the bolder. of them had been fined, and only six
fined who bad heeled* granted in 1862 and 14111 It was
stated by Mr. Stitt that in former year. it had been
the habit of the court to take into consideration the wants
' of the neighbourhood, but the act of parliament only re-
quired
them to inquire into the fitness of the person apply-
ing and the accommodation which the applicant's house
afforded. It was au ascertained fact that beerhousee were
productive of much more evil in the shape of drunkenness
than the regularly licensed public-houses that were under
the control of the magistrates ; and this records of
the court showed that the offences against the law,
whether for Sunday trading or permitting drunkenness,
were alarm-sixteenths by beer-homes as compared with five-
sixteenths by public-houses. He (Mr. Stitt) would, there-
fore, say that the magistrates should grant licenses to all
men of good character that applied whose premises were
sufficient. Mr. Robertson Gladstone said that the people
who were sow enjoying &license were enjoying a monopolY.
and although thine were people who bold conscientiously
that by iocreasing the number of public-bosses you iocreseed
facilities for people to get drunk, he could not see,
unless persons bolding breams were willing to give shoed to
the bench that they would not nil more than at present,
that drunkenness would not increase. But rummest such a
guarantee could be given, that no publican would exteod his
bruises, be wished to know who would undertake to say !
hew the quantity already offered for sale and wild daily was
to be distributed amongst the community. They had for
years been endeavouring to put down monopolies, and if
men of good character were refused licenses for fit houses,
he oonld not think that it was not giving publics., a
monopoly. This opleioe appeared to be concurred is
generally, and the bench pomaded to hear applioatioas.
Throughout tbeday the magistrates acted on the primiple of
granting appliestroos to bamboo's-keepers who had not
been Beal sad to people of good elareater.
