BOROUGH MARKET.—THIS I)AY.
Messrs. l'attenden and Smith report that about twenty
pockets of the new growth of Dons have arrived :a market,
but, being in a very unripe state, few persons feel disposed
to purchase them. In about three weeks' time HOMO good
samples are expected, and no doubt will then realise good
prices. Mai ket for 18.50's very firm. Duty, 110,0001.

THE NEW Foil Est —A correPpondent, who dates
from the New Forest, states that the Southampton County
Court will shortly be the scene of some most singular and
interesting disputes. An immense portion of the New
Forest is to be enclosed, and the herds of deer which roam
there arc to be destroyed. The inhabitants in and atound
the forest arc to be deprived of their rights of 4. commonage,"
which they Lave enjoyed for centuries, such rr. cutting turf
and fern, and of grazing cattle and feeding swine. For tho
loss of their rights the foresters must send in their
claims for compensation to the venturers of tho
New Forest, and all those claims which are dis-
puted are to be settled in the Southampton County Court.
Some of the best land in the New Forest will be en-
closed to grow timber for the benefit of the country. Tho
fences for these enclosures awl the superintendence of tho
Latter need not be expends,'. Roads arc to be made through
the forest, and this immense place, which for hundreds of
years has been useless to the nation, is likely to be of na-
tional benefit. It certainly can be made, if ordinary care
be taken, one of the loveliest and most extensive sylvan
spots in the kingdom. These changes and improvements
are, however, gall and wormwood to the multitude of
persons who have hitherto got a livelihood out of tho
Forest. Lord Duncan and the Daily News will never bo
forgotten or forgiven by these persons for the onslaughts
they made three years ago on their woodcraft, and for in-
ducing the government to penetrate the tangled mazes of
the forest. _

POOR-LAW RELIEF.—On the 30th instant an act
of parliament, 13 and 11 Vict., c. 101, relating to the relief
of the poor, which would have expired, is to continue in
force, with certain amendments, fin another year. Among
the amendments is one declaring that guardians may, where
they think fit, pay to or reimburse any of their officers tho
expense necessarily incurred in repairing or restoring pro-
perty belonging to such office which may have been unlaw-
fully, wilfully, and maliciously damaged, injured, or de-
stroyed by any person applying or having applied for relief,
and such costs and expenses incurred in the prosecution of
the offender as may not he allowed by the court before
which the prosecution or trial shall take place.
TILE POTATO.—AII "the fear and trembling" with
which the public mind here was alt cted with regard to the
safety of this crop have nearly ceased, and we arc begin-
ning to breathe somewhat more at our ease. The early crop
is safe anal sound, and the late one continues to bold its
colour. There is one large harden of a late sowing, in tho
neighbourhood of this town, upon which we have set our
eyes from nearly tke beginning as a guide to form our judg-
ment by. Three or four times each week have we visited
it, and we have always found a progressing 0 our entire
satisfaction. Yesterday evening we p ffil our last v 1:;!!, 2nd
wo found the stalks as green and as flourishing as a leek in
its prime. This is consolatory so fir as the late crop—if
this will be taken as a specimen of it—is concerned.—

GLASGOW AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—
The report by the directors contains the following passages:
—" The revenue account presents the following results :

" The receipts from passengers arc L39AY2 8 71

"Although your traffic shows an improvement over
the whole line, the amount is less than your directors
expected. They attribute any deficiency to the very
unfavourable state of the weather in the earlier part of
the year; and the Exhibition traffic has added little to your
receipts, if allowance be made for the diminished number
of visitors to the watering places on the sea coast. In ap-
portioning the disposable balance of 38,6831. 18s. sd. in the
revenue account, it is necessary, in the first place, to pro-
vide for the dividends on the

Guaranteed stock, at 5 per cent.

11,406 5 0
Leming a balance of 27,277 13 5

Which will enable you to declare a dividend at the rate of'
two per cent. per annum, on the consolidated stock; and
hich you are recommended to make, payable on Thursday,
the 2nd of October next, under deduction of income tax.

DCI3LIN AND DROGIIEDA.—The half-yearly meet-
;
. sng of this company was held in Dublin on Saturday. Tho
, report of the directors recommended that a dividend of 12s.
• per share should be paid on the old (751.) shares, and 3s.
on the new (2.50 shares. It was also recommended that a
' sum of 50,0001. should be raised by preference shares, with
a view to extending the line to Kells, a distance of 91 mites,
r the expense of which it was estimated would be covered by
• tho sum above named. Tho report was adopted after eon-
• siderable discussion.
