GAME LAWS.-FORMATION OF “ RURAL
SPORTING CLUBS."

A correspondent of the Wats/tiro Independent sup to
-
plies the following: 2
A wapitis' wee held at Winters's+ a few fiays shies -
with the above object The secretary, a tenant farmer, ad- II
dressed the meeting. The labourers were exhorted to ia- 81
deatry, to get employment, and if risible to keep it—k• 9
behave themselves respectfully to everyone—to be sober, bat, 11
above all, to keep holy the Sabbath. Should, however, they -
be out of work and have no food, and consequently be obliged 41
to break man's unnecessary law by poaching, then the Sorel
Supporting Club would be found their friend, if they hetteme
memben of it—their wives and &miles would be *tweeted, 2l
and the residue unexpended from month to month, with the
subscriptions from the farmers and from sseli gent ems I
is John Collett. Seq., would be added thereto and 41
game certificates from the proceeds allotted to the member
as the laws direeted. The evils of the game laws having
been pointed out several came of harthaip which had me I
cowed at Plyapton, Kidderminster, Odittain, Titchfield,
Salibury, Church Cobham, and other places were detailed. 4
With regard to Titchfield, a corresiii.enee was read from •
Mr. Arthur Noys to John Collett, .—lt appeared that a
George Jamey, a very poor man, on artist 29th last, was
eoevicted by the Ferebam magistrates, and fined 11. and
2s. 6d. espeneee. for trespassing is parish of game on the
Atehott estate, belonging to the C Berkeley, who
slim the conviction himself applied to the bench for a copy
of the c mviction to enable him to prefer en infanta:ion
spinet G. 'trim before the Board of Stamps and Taxes for
not having • certificate! to which Mr. Collett thus replied—
" Lake House, Cuelteuhass, 18th Oct., 1849.
" Sir—Digraceful, unjust, and tea-Enslish as It may be
to prosecute and punish a man twice for one offence, I yet
fear that in law George Jeury is, as assessed tars, liable for
the 41. is. 10d. mentioned in year latter. My advice is
quietly to poy the amount, taking for it the tax collector's
receipt to be exchanged for a game certificate, which certifi-
cate will bear this poor man barmier; tilt bth July, 1860,
sod put him on an equality with his now prosecutor. I have
this wio k liberated and taken out game certificates for three
fresh victims of the Wiltshire game-preservihg assietraire,
feeling convinced that the more this plan is acted upon the
better, and the sooner we shall succeed is Delon's, public
execration upon these wicked and accursed geese laws.—
I have the honour to be, very faithfully years,
" Jong Cottarr."
The reading of this letter drew forth hearty cheering.
Me. Collett, in a poi script, said I inclose V. as my subscrip-
tion to the 41. 11.10 d.
The secretary thou mentioned a circumstance which hap.
paned in that parish in Merck last. when Henry Green,
John Green, and a man named Collins. era two others,
were pursued by tho keepen to the London Temple,
where a dreadful conflict took place. Henry Green re-
ceived a blow with a stone, and which BO cut his bead
that his clothes wen saturated with blood ; he and Collins
were convicted and sent to Fisherton Gaol, and from
the Gaol G:een was conveyed to the dalisbary Infir-
mary, where he died, leaving a widow and Dine
helpless children. John Green, his brother, ran
away, and, after several months' absence, had jest
returned. One would have thought that this melan-
choly affair would have escited pity and mercy to JohnOreen,
the surviving brother; but no! The warrant pennieg over
him had been executed, and he was now 631160, d where
hia brother end-el his last days but three. The tenant
former having Waist. dwelt on the it iquity of the game ;
laws, and Ir,e oppression of the farmers, three cheers were
Riven for the success of the rural supporting rich, three
cheers more fee John Collett, lisq , and the meeting se-
parated.
In soother paragraph the same piper states that on the
30th ult. Mr Collett hod sent to his age:it at Fisherton 31.
to liberate John Thomas, labourer, of Alderbury, who was
convicted October 23rd of catching a pheasant at Ivy (Amuck
Comic... on the erste of Lord Folkestone. Thomas was
float 31., including the exposes. On the poor fellow's
liberation, he was presented with a game certific tte. Mr.
Collett has liberated and given game certificates to several
°thee* hese of late.

EQUESTRIAN STATUE IN lION OUR OF MX MA-
lltlrree Visite TO Otasoow.—The proposal to build •
granite arch on the site of the temporary triumphant stmt.
tore in Jamaica-street having been abandoned, the Lord
Provost, the sheriff, and other influential gentlemen, we
understand, are making the neasury preliminary mugs-
meats, with • view to • public aubscription for • noble
equestrian statue of her hisjety, as an enclosing memorial of
th.. Queen's late auspicious visit to Ola,g,w.— Glasgow
Courier.
Civic FESTIVITILL—The reign of the new L'rd
Mine of the City of London eomm. need yesterday under
the most favourable anspiow, in the form of a dinner at the
London Tavern. The guests were in number about eighty,
but the festival was more of • private than of a public
nature.
KiXO.B COLLEGE 1100FiTAL.—LIat evening e
meeting was held in the Board-room, is Portugeltereet,
3:rand. From the report it appeared that every pendide !
assistance had been rendered during the prerelease of the
cholera. Every applicant being at once received it WI
speedily found necessary to increase the medical eta& end
Jae to douhle the ordinary nastier of nurse', ite- Diu-
' ekes patients, to the number of several hundreds, men
treated • and, out of 123 cease of decided eholera, received
height of the disease, 83 were dietbarited cuseß.
The majority of deaths occurred among the earlier=
the Deane of treatment ultimately adopted hiring
the fatal cases extremely rare. The expenditure of the Me
pital during die Michaelmas quarter exceeded that ef the
corresponding period last year by nearly 3001., and it baling
been mentioned that every possible exertion would be mow
eery to liquideto the debt incurred under such pressing sod
peculiar circumstances, the meeting separated.
NEW COAL EXCIIANOL-1n consequence of the
lively interest which has been takes by the public in the
proceedings connected with the completion and opening of
this building, both rotiefactios and amusement may be
afforded by the relation of an incident which occurred a few
days previoullyto the 001911kany of the 30th alt. The archi-
tect, Mr. Bossing. .'bough confident upon theoretical prin-
ciples and minute iospeetion of the strength and stability of
every part of the alike, in order to meet any 'maple or doubt
which might arias in the minds of abets not poeseseed of the
same means of forming a comet judgment on the 'shield,
resorted to as ingenious experiment well calculated to set at
rest any apprehension the most timid person might form,
more particularly with respect to the capabilities of the hoc
galleries surrounding the exclusive, said in which it
was intended the larger number of the company in-
vited should be accommodated. It is well knows to
be one of the severest tests applicable to • straw
wire, that a large body of Timmons should pus
through or over it, according to • regular and combined
movement such as a military step, and as accidents have
sum.times Mtn occasiontd by the application of such • test,
it is the practice of military bodies dariag their pump over
(for instance) • bri."ge to drop the marching step, emil walk
irregularly. It was to a test of this kind Mr.
_fkinsimg
resorted 011111 day last week to prove the stability ef Miaow
m
huilalis3; and preferring the assistance of • well
be oil en to that which might have been dad=
Me swarm of workmen employed upon the spot, he procured
the attendance of about 300 ofthe police form. These men,
under the command of an inspirit/Jr, were taken in a body
over the various parts of the building in strict military style,
they marched and cninter-suirched, were suddenly set in
motion, and as suddenly ordered to hilt. At one
dme they were brought together as compactly as possible.
so that their weight might be concentrated on particular
spats. At another moment they were dispersed again,
more widely. They.were.gsthered in muses to press with
all their might against the rails of the palletise, end in
every way that could be suggested were they employed in
fulfilling the object for whisk they were assembled together.
Woen all other imaginable mpedients had been tried, the
men were ordered to traverse the galleries at a running
pace ; and, as soon an the weed of command was given, off
they set on their experimetagetrk, and scampered about
with a rapidity which a and amused many who
were present to witness evolutions. Upon the elated
observation made at the time, it was found that no portion
of the building gave any aseyptcms of the slightest weak-
ness, and not the smallest deflection war detected in any
part of it.
DETERMINED SUICIDE.—Oa Thursday evening •
determined act of self-destruction was committed at the
South Western Railway Coffee-house, in the Waterioe-road,
near the railway terminus, by a man of respectable appear-
ance, whims muse is supposed to be Thomson, and who, it is
believed, travelled by rail on that day from Southampton or
Portsmouth. The deceased had willed at the coffeehouse
for the purpose of having ems refreshments, end was taken
sadden) y and violently ill, fries what was at first supposed to
be apoplexy, bat subsequently a phial, which bad recently
contented laudanum, and which was labelled " Laudanum,
poison," was found upon him, and there can be no doubt
that death bad been caused by swallowing Its contents. Oa
the deceased's pence was Rand a parse containing 101. fie. 4d.
in gold and sliver, and not the slightest cause can be assigned
for the rash act. Andersen, the parish officer, has been
made acquainted with the circumstances, and he has foe-
warded the ?ordeals++ to Mr. Carter, the moue, that an
inquest may be holden.
